KnockBack, Episode 117: The Patriot
Added 2020-05-07 16:01:02 +0000 UTCFor Americans, the year 1776 is sacred. It isn't the year the American Revolution started (that's 1775), nor is it the year it ended in victory (that's 1783). Instead, '76 represents the year the US declared its independence from England, changing the course of domestic and global history alike forever. The 2000 film The Patriot -- starring Mel Gibson and the late, great Heath Ledger -- is one of the few flicks that actually delves into the War For Independence in any substantive way, and while it's an action flick first, and while it takes sometimes great liberties (pardon the pun) with history, it's still a fun, enjoyable movie that The Brothers Moriarty happen to cherish. So aim small, miss small... and enjoy the podcast while you do. (Topic begins at 0:55:56.)

2020-05-24 20:35:29 +0000 UTCHaven’t listened yet. What exactly do they talk about for 55 mins before they start talking about The Patriot?

2020-05-23 20:38:03 +0000 UTCFirst of all, you're talking to me like I don't personally know both men. I do. Secondly, I'm entitled to my own opinions. Thanks.

2020-05-23 05:40:46 +0000 UTCOf all the talented people industry, you choose Neil Druckmann? You’re losing sight of what makes games games Colin. Also, you’re forgetting that The Last of Us also had Bruce Straley as co-director.

2020-05-21 17:42:14 +0000 UTCIf you use PS4 to stream stuff, their universal search tool under Video/TV, where you pick your streaming app, is really useful. It searches everything and shows you where you can find stuff on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc., so you don't accidentally buy stuff you don't need.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-21 17:42:09 +0000 UTCJust watched the Bluray "MR MARTIN!" is still in the movie. Can confirm.

Colin Moriarty
2020-05-18 17:27:14 +0000 UTCbeen waiting for this one. I cant be the only one who enjoyed this movie more than braveheart?
Joey Finelli
2020-05-18 12:36:15 +0000 UTCHe was some sort of Lafayette/Rochambeau combination, I think.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-17 22:33:24 +0000 UTC=)
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-17 22:32:53 +0000 UTCDamn, how do you forget the Frenchman?! Hahaha. He ruled.
Marcus Brown
2020-05-17 16:49:20 +0000 UTCI put this film aside for months after buying it in anticipation for this inevitable episode. Just watched it a few days ago and damn was that a great film. Now I'm hyped to hit play on this.
Marcus Brown
2020-05-17 12:03:43 +0000 UTCBunch of no good traitors the lot of you.
Billy boob
2020-05-17 00:18:56 +0000 UTCThat could be fun. =)
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-15 00:32:19 +0000 UTCWe definitely need a Howard Stern episode. You could probably do multiple episodes on him and his show.
Omar Rosa
2020-05-14 22:08:38 +0000 UTCNo, shoutout to you, Carter. Shoutout to you.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-12 21:48:40 +0000 UTCYeah he stopped doing live podcasts a little over a year ago.
Michael Miller
2020-05-12 19:32:56 +0000 UTCShout out to Logan Lerman. He's the youngest Martin son of Percy Jackso/Perks of Being a Wallflower Fame. But, my favorite movie of his is Fury with Brad Pitt where he plays the newest member of the Sherman tank crew.
Quinn
2020-05-10 01:58:55 +0000 UTCOh, I dunno. I was under the assumption he still did that.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-09 22:35:49 +0000 UTCI’ll say about Joe Rogan: I don’t believe he does the show live anymore because I think he has a strike on YouTube or something.
Caleb Greer
2020-05-09 21:27:13 +0000 UTCThere is definitely a good amount of sadness here, you're right.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:12:20 +0000 UTCWe will. We'll have an SNES-related episode in the next month, I'd assume.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:12:08 +0000 UTCIt's an awesome topic.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:57 +0000 UTCI bought the third house I looked at, so.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:50 +0000 UTCHave fun!
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:39 +0000 UTCTom Brady? Jesus Christ.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:32 +0000 UTCGood timing, then!
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:24 +0000 UTCYou're a young man.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:17 +0000 UTCLOL.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:11 +0000 UTCI am very lucky.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:06 +0000 UTCThat's the plan!
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:11:01 +0000 UTCNice. Enjoy!
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:10:56 +0000 UTCThat's a separate issue.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:10:50 +0000 UTCGo watch it DOUG.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:10:44 +0000 UTCIt wasn't! Though it'll be awesome when, in several years, we do a topic we've already done just because we totally forgot.
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:10:38 +0000 UTCNo, I remember the show. =)
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:10:15 +0000 UTCI think that's what made Dagan wanna do it now. (We were gonna do Far Cry 3, but he wasn't ready yet.)
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:10:07 +0000 UTC<3
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-08 22:09:53 +0000 UTCOne of my absolute favorite movies! Although there are a ton of sad parts in this movie, the first time the daughter speaks just destroys me 😭
Jacob Turnbaugh
2020-05-08 15:22:50 +0000 UTCI hope you guys can do more NES/SNES at some stage, its a bit much to expect Dagan to play all these huge PS4 games.
Ryan Murdoch
2020-05-08 11:24:22 +0000 UTCAwesome! I use to watch this movie so much. Anything American History is so interesting.
Warped
2020-05-08 09:58:17 +0000 UTCCol, my wife and I brought the first house we looked at, our logic was...its a fucking house, there is no need to go crazy stressing about it. Good luck buddy, you will do fine.
Ryan Murdoch
2020-05-08 08:14:42 +0000 UTCYesss been waiting for this.
Alec
2020-05-08 03:38:01 +0000 UTCA couple notes 1. No mention of Tom Brady as the best modern sports player is a travesty 2. No mention of Lady Gaga as best modern musician is an abortion of justice 3. No mention of Kojima as best games creator is truly an eye watering gut punch. Get your shit together colin JK love your shows and your takes on everything keep it up ol buddy. Also, keep it up if you know what I'm saying ;P
Jake Woods
2020-05-07 18:34:40 +0000 UTCI just watched this last night lol
Tanner Brant
2020-05-07 17:43:53 +0000 UTCgonna watch it tonight and listen straight away i was only 1 when this came out lol
Jack Doheny
2020-05-07 17:33:28 +0000 UTCI know at least 9 lieutenants, 5 captains, 3 majors, and one very fat colonel who called me a cheeky fellow, who will love this episode.
Eric Stoughtenger
2020-05-07 17:22:53 +0000 UTCI wish I had a older brother like Dagan. 💙
Marco Maluf
2020-05-07 16:40:01 +0000 UTCOh my god yes, this will be a great episode
Captain Canada
2020-05-07 16:38:02 +0000 UTCI've always wanted to watch this movie, but never have. Now I have the perfect excuse. Looking forward to this episode.
Jon Cordeiro
2020-05-07 16:10:11 +0000 UTCAIM SMALL, MISS SMALL! So hyped for this episode. It does me good to see it.
Paul Waltz
2020-05-07 16:07:34 +0000 UTCAh, another show/movie I've never seen. 😐
Douglas Morreale
2020-05-07 16:07:12 +0000 UTCThis is probably after your time, but I recall being shown in school this animated series called "Liberty's Kids". It had this intro that was unjustifiably epic at the time and a duet sung by Aaron Carter and some other girl. Ah, the benefits of growing up in the Midwest. I wonder if they're even showing kids such things, nowadays.
Max Stahl
2020-05-07 16:04:39 +0000 UTCThis just dropped on Netflix a few days ago and I've been meaning to watch it with my son. They're never too young to introduce them to graphic violence perpetrated by Mel Gibson in a historical context.
Forrest Hunter
2020-05-07 16:04:32 +0000 UTCYes! I threw this out there months ago as a hopeful idea and jacked to see it come to fruition! Time to learn WTF bundling bags are. Aim small, miss small!
