	5:51pm Jim the Poet: Col Jessup: I'll answer the question. You want answers? LTJG Kaffee: I think I'm entitled to them. Col Jessup: You want answers?! LTJG Kaffee: I want the truth! Col Jessup: You can't handle the truth!
	👍 6:03pm zachary: With you as our guide, Jim, we can all handle the truth.
	6:03pm Ike: Steely Dan fans, in particular, can't handle the truth that so many Dan songs are about molesting teens. Or can they?
	6:05pm Tom from Stirling: Fabio always plays a real song as the song of his show.
	6:05pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Song: "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" by "Steely Dan" Awright. That's enough. Lets talk movies.
	6:06pm goes211: Fargo can’t go wrong
	👍 6:07pm Folsom: I can watch Slap Shot over and over again, along with Godfather 1 and 2.
	6:07pm Tom from Stirling: A Few Good Men is a nice choice, Jimbo.
	6:08pm Joey C: Diner
	6:08pm frankie in reverse: Goodfellas + Santa Sangre
	6:08pm UWS Joe: Agreed on both holy moly, Jim! It’s definitely the Sorkin scripts - he puts crack in them.
	6:10pm Joey C: Yes. Yes. Yes. Fargo.
	6:13pm dale: i was just saying i don't care for steely dan and each week should have a different song referencing movies.
	6:15pm dale: put ghost busters frozen empire on last weekend and fell asleep.
	6:17pm chresti: Hi jim poet movie show!

	6:19pm Zephyr: Lebowski (mic drop)
	6:19pm common: would never turn off the 78 version of invasion of the body snatchers. so great
	6:20pm Tom from Stirling: Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. Spoiler alert, Tom Cruise dies. Rebecca Ferguson brings him back. Rebecca Ferguson is my favorite.
	6:22pm Will: Don't forget John Saxon!
	6:23pm dale: i hate to admit that whenever i run across terminator or robocop i have to stop and watch. i think it has to do with the stop motion. and while we're on stop motion, jason and the argonauts is a must see whenever it's on.
	6:25pm erik: wow, I worked at the Mayan in the 80's (and the esquire and ogden). When we showed last temptation of christ at the esquire, we had picketing nuns. Sad to hear the esquire closing (at the time it was still one screen)
	6:25pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ dale @6:23 Good ones. All the Terminator movies are good, even the ones that aren't too good.
	6:26pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ erik @6:25 Last Temptation....!
	6:29pm rocky coast: My repeat movie is moonstruck!
	👍 6:29pm Folsom: The Great Race and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
	6:29pm dale: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:25 the premise is a good one. but like escape from the planet of the apes, the future goes back and creates the past it wanted to destroy.
	6:30pm dale: ↳ Folsom @6:29 LOVE the great race, you great leslie, you.
	6:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: QotW idea: What's the best movie theater name? Mike's Cinema, The Clipper, Magestic Movie House ... like that.
	6:32pm dale: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @6:30 new david cinema.
	6:33pm Tom from Stirling: Looper is good time-travel movie. Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordan Levitt, Emily Blunt. Under-appreciated movie
	6:41pm dale: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:33 just looked that up and seems interesting.
	6:42pm dale: around the world in a daze is pretty good. when they go back in time and meet hercules - not so much.
	6:42pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ dale @6:41 Worthwhile
	6:44pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Shout out to whoever is giving that kid some top shelf parenting.
	6:45pm Nikita: HBO show was Euphoria
	6:46pm Land Phil: Hey is the Borderlands movie as bad as I hear it is?
	👍 6:46pm zachary: Hot sauce is tasty.
	👍 6:47pm zachary: ↳ Folsom @6:29 The latter is what Andy Breckman's Rat Race is based on.
	👍 6:47pm zachary: ↳ zachary @6:47 I shouldn't say based. Inspired. Inspired by. Ha!
	6:51pm Tom from Stirling: And don't forget! Alien: Romulus opens this Friday.

	6:53pm Land Phil: my favrite part of Alien movies r the aleins
	6:55pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: ""Cuckoo"" by "Jim the Poet discusses" Planning on seeing this in a few hours
	6:55pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ dale @6:53 Prometheus had potential but, there were no aliens in it. Covenant too. Both shite. This new one should be better. Hopefully.
	6:56pm ultradamno: ↳ Land Phil @6:53 Jonesy. The character that set everything into motion (like the only one that survives is the one that feeds him is a coincidence)
	👍 6:59pm Folsom: ↳ dale @6:53 When the map guys in Prometheus get lost and then attacked was when the movie got bad for me.
