Am I the only person who has seen this one? I thought it was wonderful, Anthony Hopkins is just phenomenal. I would vote for him to win Best Actor though I’m sure he won’t. I found the structure of the film to be really intriguing and a very clever way to put you in the mind of someone with dementia.

“Muff Waders.” 🙄🙄🙄 I strongly suspect they only called it that so after they finished filming they could snicker to themselves “Heh heh we got the Sharks to say “muff” on national TV! They didn’t even realize! Hilarious bro!”

Yeah, I really don’t understand why she couldn’t just do this. Their goodbye scene didn’t really make me feel anything because I just thought “Can’t she just recreate them again?”

The “Garfield” float had me dying! 🤣

When I first started reading that clue my mind also went straight to Mamma Mia, same as the first contestant. Broadway musical + 3 Donnas = Mamma Mia, but then I finished actually reading what they were asking for and realized they were looking for Donna Summer. Jim’s answer of “Cher” made me laugh though, I have no idea where that one came from! I didn’t have a clue for FJ. All I could think was “It’s not Queen, stop thinking Queen, they’re not American, think of something else!” And then couldn’t get “We Are the Champions” out of my head. 😆

Same. The moment she said the missing woman was her twin I thought "Nuh uh! You're that woman and you're pretending to be your sister!" I also caught the anachronistic mention of Terry Schiavo. I didn't think that case would have been that early because I remember hearing about it and I was just a little kid in 1993, so I checked and it didn't make the news until 1998-2000, which fits my memory.

Ditto. So far I have seen nothing to explain why it’s considered a comedy. So I’ll ask again: for those who think it’s a comedy, what are those scenes that were funny? Just posting that “Black comedies don’t appeal to everyone” doesn’t say anything about what makes this film a black comedy.

Wow, I was 100% certain FJ was Notre Dame and I was thinking how easy and obvious that was. 🤦‍♀️😂 What an ending! I’ve always heard the term of carrying two drinks at once as “double-fisting” but that does not also mean tough, so it didn’t fit the clue. In fact the second meaning for that term is so not appropriate for Jeopardy so I chuckled when the contestant said it. (Seriously, careful googling that one!!) And yeah I always hit Stop on the DVR when Mike starts saying the Alex tribute. It was cool the first day, but it makes me roll my eyes now since it now sounds scripted and not sincere.

Damn this season sucked hard. I watched season 1, never saw season 2, but thought I’d give this one a try since the cast looked really good and it was the top watched thing on Netflix. Those are 8 hours I’ll never get back. What I don’t understand is why no one in the entire series ever just said “STFU you crazy privileged rich white boy! Get over yourself, stop whining and reading bad philosophy. Grow up!” Were we supposed to care when Jamie died? Yes Jamie, you are a bad person, and for all your bullshit naval gazing about being a superman, when you were actually dying you were no different than anyone else. Was there a single character in this series who didn’t behave like an illogical idiot? Maybe the policeman partner. Psst, saying your lines slooooowy... and....halting between every other....word like it’s painful to... open your mouth does not equal great acting. Pullman, Hecht, Bomer, I’m talking to all of you. Just fucking speak your words!

I guessed Slave because it seemed to fit the clue, but it was a high value question and Slave seemed to easy an answer and it would be something trickier. Not sure I would have rang in had I been on the show. I wonder if the contestants thought the same thing. Not one iota of a clue on FJ. I could have stared at that for days and never come up with the right answer. All I could think of was the Dreyfus Affair. I was also rooting for Ollie because of his accent and because of his nice outfit!

Doesn’t matter what you suspect. Again, turbulence would not have been an acceptable possible response because it did not fit the category. The answer had to start with and end with T. Turbulence does not end with T. I also heard him say turbulence. If the judges heard “turbulence” he would have been ruled incorrect so either they missed it, or they rewatched it and judged that he actually did say “turbulent.”

Well, it was. Until “LOtR: Return of the King.” (And I say those movies should be longer, dammit! 😆 I want more Middle Earth! They are my favorite films and I love the extended editions.) Got that FJ immediately. And the triple stumper of Glamdring. I think showing a photo of Jack Lemmon was waaaay to easy for a $1000 clue. Got the FJ of Avon, in a totally random occurrence I actually read about that cosmetics company changing its name to Avon earlier today on Wikipedia! 😳

I don’t think that character is really that famous that he would be known by name. I have always just thought that line was a McConaughey thing, since he kept saying it all the time the year when he won the Oscar. I had no idea it came from a film.

But where is the comedy part? I’ve seen many black comedies, I don’t see how this fits that label at all. I did not see anything satirical or humorous in it. This film did nothing but make me feel angry.

Just now watching this series on Netflix and wow this is one of the stupidest shows I have ever seen!!

I hated hated this movie. I wanted to turn it off after the first ten minutes, decided to stick with it because it had positive reviews. I wish I hadn’t wasted those 2 hours. The only good part of the film was And WTF is she doing in the “Musical/Comedy” category!?? There is nothing funny about this film whatsoever! It’s not a black comedy, there is no comedy! There is not a single moment of humor or levity at all. It’s as much a comedy as “Promising Young Woman.”

Shoe pitch: “I’m from Wisconsin!” Sauce ladies: “I’m a Texas gal!” 🤔 The removable high heel may be a good concept, but I don’t think this one worked. It looked rubbery and you’d be walking right on that divot in the bottom. I can imagine that would be very uncomfortable after a while as well, like two sharp edges cutting into the sole of your foot. You would have to then store the heel somewhere, and if you’re going to put it in your purse you might as well just bring a pair of flats to change into. Souper Cubes looks great, but don’t products like that already exist? I’m almost certain I’ve seen things like that at Bed Bath & Beyond. I liked the sauce women. They seemed genuine and they did not use their former homelessness as a sob story like so many others would have. No fake tears and ploys for sympathy. Their product sounded good but food is something I’d have to taste first before buying. I hated the bathing suit thing. First of all, what the hell is the name supposed to mean? Why is it misspelled so idiotically? “Byoót” instead of “Beaut”? How does that even relate to a bathing suit? It also was ugly and it seems to me it would be more difficult to get those buttons reattached than to simply pull the suit up. Hasn’t that woman ever learned to just pull the bottom aside when peeing?

They do? Huh wow I never knew that. How does that work? I just knew Iceland has -dottir for female names and -son for male names.

Not me, I totally misread the clue. For some reason I thought it was asking for a word that was one letter different from chignon. Don’t know why I saw “3-letter word” as “1-letter off.” 😂 But I was yelling “Barber! Barber” for the Adagio for Strings clue. That’s one of those pieces of music that is so famous and appears everywhere. It’s always like during sad climactic emotional scenes showing something of great importance. Instaget FJ for me, Iceland was the only country I could think of that famously has gendered last names.

Do you remember what scene that was in? I didn’t notice it and that’s a pretty big mistake to make when they’re being so detailed with getting everything to match the film. I’d want to check and see if that’s really what was said.

Well I knew Mark Margoles would end up being involved! You don’t hire an actor of his caliber for one quick throwaway scene. (Though I chuckled when he was wheeled onto the elevator. 🛎️) I was amused by the murder taking place in a location where I’ve spent many hours, the Edison Hotel. They did really well with the set decorations to make the place seem abandoned, dark & decrepit! It’s actually full of gorgeous bright Art Deco paintings. They even kept all the logos the same, just changing it from an E to a K.

Yeah, I thought that story was really cringey. “He loved her so much he seriously injured her and didn’t even know it! Oh isn’t that just true love right there?” Uh, no. It’s quite horrifying actually.

I normally don’t notice the “swayers” when people mention them here, but holy crap I was starting to feel nauseous watching the middle guy on those two Daily Doubles with the camera moving back and forth to keep him in the frame.

Yeah. That was another plot thread that went nowhere and meant nothing. They kept having all these references to the baseball like it would be the clue that linked Adam to the accident, but nope.

Didn’t they also cause a completely innocent person to commit suicide?
