KnockBack, Episode 79: The Big Lebowski
Added 2019-08-15 16:01:00 +0000 UTCWhat can you really say about The Big Lebowski? Well... a ton, as it turns out. The Coen Brothers' 1998 cult-classic comedy is one of the most quotable films of all-time, with one of the most bizarre cast of amazing characters you'll ever encounter in the genre. Smart, witty, and wonderfully written, The Big Lebowski rings loudly more than two decades after its release not because of '90s nostalgia or hazy retro glasses. It's an authentically hysterical movie, and more than worthy of an episode of KnockBack. So mark it an eight, Dude, and then sit down, do a J, and join us for a fun episode about an enormously influential flick. He asked me to repeat that: Join us for a fun episode about an enormously influential flick.

Knockback- making me watch movies that I’ve missed but now absolutely love. Thank you. “Mind if I do a J?”

2019-08-17 22:12:53 +0000 UTCGQ posts these videos on youtube that show talking head interviews. They have actors break down some of their biggest roles. They just put one up with John Goodman. It's really cool.

2019-08-16 13:41:49 +0000 UTCYes! Patreon made the decision to remove the download links (because people were stealing content, I guess), but they've decided to roll back their decision. I don't know when everything will be back to normal, but I assume imminently.
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 07:35:19 +0000 UTCColin, the download link has been missing from the last few episodes posted, is it possible to bring it back?. Gonna listen to this tonight, cant wait, The movie is so ridiculous.

Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:11:19 +0000 UTCFor what it's worth, we know that, so if it came off like we said that, that was certainly an accident. (Though as I recall, I couldn't remember the band's name on the spot.)
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:11:11 +0000 UTCI'll investigate. =)
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:10:44 +0000 UTCAwesome. Thank you, and welcome! (No, I don't think I've listened to him.)

2019-08-16 03:10:35 +0000 UTCThis is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:10:21 +0000 UTCHahaha. Excellent.
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:10:06 +0000 UTCA lot of you are having the same thought.
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:09:58 +0000 UTCYou should show her the film. =)
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:09:49 +0000 UTCFuckin' A.
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:09:25 +0000 UTCIt's a comedy barometer, too.
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:09:19 +0000 UTCEnjoy. =)
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:09:02 +0000 UTCI can't lie: It's a weird cocktail.

Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:08:40 +0000 UTCI hope you enjoy!
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:08:23 +0000 UTCGood choice.
Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:08:17 +0000 UTCThank you, Donnie.

Colin Moriarty
2019-08-16 03:08:01 +0000 UTCJust because it gets brought up all the time, and as a New Englander. We have three types of bowling in New England. 1) Ten pin: normal sized pins, and normal sized balls 2) Duck pin: Miniture pins, light weight ball, played like ten pin 3) Candle Pin: Long tubes for pins, ball is tiny (fits in the palm of your hand). The pins stay on the lane between throws and is called playing the timber, you get 3 throws a frame

2019-08-16 02:13:31 +0000 UTCHi Colin, great listen although you overlooked the greatest small detail in the whole finger. When we see Jesus for the first time check out one of his fingers...it’s a coke finger! The creep can roll.
Joe
2019-08-15 21:31:43 +0000 UTCThe only part where the dude showed some initiative and had a good idea to solve the case!
Joe
2019-08-15 21:30:31 +0000 UTCbtw it's Creedence, not Clarence Clearwater Revival, although Clarence is hilarious. They are a f'ing awesome band if you've never dug into their catalog.
Kenneth thomas
2019-08-15 20:09:25 +0000 UTCI love that Dagan mentioned Hell or High Water, such a fantastic modern western (that’s set in modern day) with an AMAZING performance by Jeff Bridges, as well as Chris Pine and Ben Foster. It’s currently on Netflix, I highly recommend it. It’s quaint, yet powerful.
Ethan Barbee
2019-08-15 19:58:23 +0000 UTCImmediately upped my pledge to hear this one! Hey Colin, off topic question, are you familiar with the streamer/political debater dude Destiny? He's ultimately hate-able sometimes with arrogance but hearing you have a convo with him would be wildly entertaining.
Kenneth thomas
2019-08-15 19:53:14 +0000 UTCEight year olds, Dude.
2019-08-15 19:26:32 +0000 UTCI introduced this movie to several of my coworkers through gifs of the film. Especially the gif of the scene where he goes “I can’t be worried about that shit, life goes on man.”

2019-08-15 19:26:24 +0000 UTCThat podcast really tied the room together
Simon C
2019-08-15 18:37:40 +0000 UTCThe part where the dude ran over and tried to see what Jackie Treehorn wrote only to find that he had drawn a stick figure with a massive dick was definitely my favorite part! Great episode guys!
Ryan Harvey
2019-08-15 18:08:08 +0000 UTCUnhearted. Lol jk - to be honest, I didn’t watch this until I was in late college over a decade ago.. F, I’m old.. anywho.. I saw it again post-college and laughed even harder. Now it’s a favorite. Do yourself proud and get the steelcase limited edition at a Best Buy if you can. It’s reasonably priced and worth every penny.
Tony Rivera
2019-08-15 17:20:44 +0000 UTCThis episode really tied everything together.

2019-08-15 17:06:11 +0000 UTCThis is the greatest film barometer to use on any new acquaintance who claims to enjoy films.
Joe
2019-08-15 16:54:06 +0000 UTCUhm, guys. I have to say something I'm not proud of. I have never seen this movie. I only know it from some quotes and gifs from the movie, and memes. Guess this is a good time to finally watch it.
Marius Skarsem Pedersen
2019-08-15 16:41:02 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite films of all time, really looking forward to this episode. Going to make a White Russian and listen to it with my special lady friend!
Jimmy Bones
2019-08-15 16:08:29 +0000 UTCGoing to add a White Russian as well when listening.
Britton Dowers
2019-08-15 16:07:32 +0000 UTCOh hell yeah, I'm so ready!
Jose Horrach
2019-08-15 16:06:20 +0000 UTCYeah well, that’s just like your opinion, man.
Juan Paolini
2019-08-15 16:06:17 +0000 UTCYes! Very excited to listen.
Nathaniel Taylor
2019-08-15 16:06:02 +0000 UTCAs much as I want to listen to this immediately, I’m definitely saving this episode for my next, hopefully marmot-free, bath+j.

2019-08-15 16:04:34 +0000 UTCThis episode really ties Wave 9 together.
