love when writing, blocking, direction, acting, editing, and lighting come together. could talk about how right-left and shot size makes a difference for days - Rocky (1976)

Sheev Palpatine will somehow return in Avengers: Doomsday

Sometimes there were one set of footprints, other times there was a set of footprints and a set of hand prints. So I asked the lord, "why when I needed you most, was there footprints and hand prints?" The lord replied: "Son, that is when I wheelbarrowed you."

SMALL BEANS TALK OVER MOVIES STARTS IN 20 MINUTES

Stephen King is America variety.com/2023/music/n...

is bae a thing? I just thought everyone was misspelling my name.

Oh dag we brought back movie night. better get your movie clothes on. www.patreon.com/posts/movie-...

I've got a lot of questions about how Small Beans was formed. I figured I'd show some early footage.

Had a great conversation with @abeepp.bsky.social about movies! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY4d...

been calling people "sacks" for two days now and am happy to report that I called my therapist to tell them that I will no longer be needing their services

I can attest that this is Michael Swaim's love language. He is doing mouth love here.

if god were to ask me what's your best sunday, I'd probably say dunks and feel pretty good about it.

look, televised halftimes don't have to be what they are. we could come together and make them just wall to wall dunks

i simply do not know what a foul is (nba basketball)

BIG THANK YOU to the Kings Among Beans who helped Small Beans finally crack 1k reviews on the apple podcasting app. Rumor has it this is or was a delineation point that will get us served more, but algos change constantly so it could mean nothing! This diminishes the size of the THANKS not a whit.

the @michaelswaim.bsky.social Cracked retrospective made me realize in the comments that some folks had problems finding all 6 episodes of Marvels of the Science so I put together a playlist. They're like 2-4 minutes each. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

what if michael mann during Heat was like fuck it al pacino is robocop because we got close

I've never once flinched or winced at a joke so I guess no gag reflex

did borderlands win

what claim does your piety have on my deference

hell yeah this is my kind of spam

it's wild that mass media has commoditized "the system is broken." like pill ads that appeal to how food companies have poisoned you. your doom scrolling is justified. halftime shows about how america is broken. not wrong, just some serious whiplash.

i love when they come back to all the old guys from the halftime report after the halftime show but now they've taken their desk away.

i hope kendrick lamar's "surprise" for the halftime show is he just brings out eugene levy

there are two football ads: famous actor with cg terrifies you and "don't you love your family?"

Tomorrow on the patreon.com/smallbeans channel! It's the dead kids one!

Is it just me or is Burger King's most recent ad campaign where they just say "You Rule" at the end feel particularly dystopian. Like Idiocracy's "wecome to costco, i love you" levels.

Edwin Hubble segment from Cunk on Life

I don't know how it could win one but I do think its a catastrophe that the Edwin Hubble segment on Cunk on Life won't win an oscar for anything

*sung to the tune of Love in an Elevator by Aerosmith* "Work at an excavator! Lifting things up while you're sitting down."

ICYMI, we watched Pay it Forward and mostly talked about The Orville. The big takeaway is that we CAN fix the world, but at what cost?? Kevin was there, lightly Deadpooled. I'll be calling all angels to join us again next week, same place, same time! (Same movie? Perhaps!!!)

if you could insert a fart into any moment in any movie, what's the best movie fart?

maybe a threesome IS just what we need

secrets are tickles for the mind

yes officer we are not high

oops i'm a stinker

ok i'll stop posting steven spielberg and et photos and start posting for real

just kickin back and drinking a chilly one with the buds

life is a trough and we are hogs

i hope your day is OUT OF THIS WORLD

rise and grind

i will be posting more things like this

i might just become an et account

i'm starting to think that social media is best when you only follow like 10 people you love and interact with only them
