Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secretsmentary
Added 2022-12-23 11:00:03 +0000 UTCOn the final syncable commentary of the year, the guys are talking over inarguably the worst Potter film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!
For a movie with so little happening, why did this need to be two and a half hours long? Why are these kids all spending so much time hanging out in the bathroom? Should Hagrid have students over to his house after dark? Are Mr. and Mrs. Dursley still physically active in the bedroom? And speaking of amorous adults, somebody tell Mr. Weasley to wrap it up!
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Richard Griffiths, Fiona Shaw, Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs, Robbie Coltrane, Kenneth Branagh, David Bradley, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and Richard Harris as Albus Dumbledore; directed by Chris Columbus.
And if anyone needs to re-sync their watch-a-long, remember that we're screening from the WB region A blu-ray and the commentary itself starts on this audio track at the 03:14 mark, synced up to 00:00:05 of the film's timecode.

2023-01-03 16:08:39 +0000 UTCI think the reason Harry can talk to snakes is because his and Voldemorts souls fused together after the assassination attempt or something

2022-12-29 20:26:58 +0000 UTCI know this is objectively the worst one, but it used to be my favorite. It gets too weird with 3 onward.

2022-12-28 11:04:33 +0000 UTCYou guys are 100% right about this being the worst of the series but this was great. Howler suicide note took me out.

2022-12-25 15:31:47 +0000 UTCThis, is, gold! We even got a Cook the Thief His Wife and Her Lover reference - one of my all-time favorite movies. Though I'll greatly miss the Richard Harris as Dumbledore imitations. His work at KFC and adoration for Buffalo Wild Wings fills me with joy. :) Merry Christmas you guys and thanks as always for making us cackle! Happy Blue Year!

2022-12-24 06:51:34 +0000 UTCThe HBO max and it's adverts before movies fucks with the timecode. It's more like 37-40 seconds in.

2022-12-24 06:25:34 +0000 UTCFinally. Also, fuck JK Rowling and the broom she rode in on.

Dan Hillen
2022-12-23 16:46:13 +0000 UTCThank you thank you thank you! Merry Christmas! (Except for Erick who hates Christmas and gets a Merry Bean Dinner instead!) These are absolutely the best. We love you guys and can't thank you enough for all the laughter you provide. Commentaries are my favorite, and Pottermentaries even moreso. . Happy Blue Year!
