rules: list your top ten favourite comfort flicks.
thank you to the always brilliant @shutterbug-12 for the tag. i’m going to cheat and stretch the definition of "movie" a bit because i reach for comfort tv series far more than movies usually.
in no particular order:
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Top Gear Africa Special (i mean all of the CHM-era Top Gear but the Africa Special is two hours so i’m counting it as a tv movie)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Jurassic Park (the 1993 original)
While You Were Sleeping
A Knight’s Tale
The Young Victoria
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain
Kingsman: The Secret Service
Dave
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Bonus ten not-films but definite comfort media that I am always in the middle of rewatching at least one: Arrested Development; Ted Lasso; Parks & Rec; Gilmore Girls; Psych; Top Gear/Grand Tour; GBBO; M*A*S*H; Good Eats; QI
When you’re down two shooters you go to the bench and this week, we hit up SKiM sixth man Chaufie to join Ant and Tee for a super fun episode of the show. We chat hilarious Television edits of R Rated Films. Speaking of films, which one has the highest concentration of F Bombs? We check into the matter and provide the answers. In a story out of The Simpsons, a company has been accused of using Monkey Labor to make coconut milk and Tee finds the very idea hilarious. Dave Chappelle’s SNL Monologue raised some hackles. Ant discusses Thanksgiving prep, how the weather differs depending on what side of Cleveland you stay on. A snowball fights with his kids leads to a discussion on relieving one’s self outside and also, how we were probably all severely dehydrated as children playing outside. We chat Kool-Aid as if we were some sorts of sommeliers. I want you to notice how deftly we go from Kool-Aid talk to Seasoning talk and the conversation just keeps flowing. We discuss migrating from Twitter to Hive in pretty great detail. Chaufie catches us up on his life, why he wants to avoid being out in nature in the spring, his Thanksgiving, Music Festivals and his son’s burgeoning rap career. Tee went viral on Tik-Tok. We then head to Reddit for some AITA. We then chat entertainment including Nope, Andor, GBBO, Marvel Snap. Vampire Survivors Fear The Walking Dead, God of War Ragnarök, Modern Warfare II, Mario vs Rabbids, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Streets of Rage 4, Some documentaries, just a lot people. Thanks for joining us, we’ll catch you next time,
