Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stonementary
Added 2022-03-31 17:33:50 +0000 UTCOn their first commentary of 2022, the gang sets their sights on the not-great cinematic debut for the Wizarding World, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! Shouldn't Hogwart's call CPS on the Dursleys? Why does this famous boy hero also have to be filthy rich? Has Mr. Weasley EVER wrapped it up, like, once in his life? And holy lord with those anti-Semitic bank goblins! PLUS: Was that broom-flying coach wasted?
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane, Fiona Shaw, Harry Melling, Richard Griffiths, Warwick Davis, John Hurt, Matthew Lewis, David Bradley, and the great Alan Rickman as Professor Snape; directed by Chris Columbus.
For those who need to stop or restart the commentary sync, remember we're watching the Region A blu-ray and the sync itself starts at 00:06:47 of this audio track, matched up to 00:00:05 of the film's timecode. You should see the WB logo partially visible in-frame.

Listening to you guys point out the racial stereotype stuff with the goblins made me notice another one. They have the Irish boy constantly causing explosions.

2025-03-25 01:23:38 +0000 UTCSo there's a thing in the second book about Dudley needing to get that pig tail removed surgically. Like hagrid just left it 😂
Ray
2024-08-03 07:22:49 +0000 UTCSo the audio in the US says sorcerer. Here in uk it's philosopher. Since the philosopher's stone is the alchemist tool for immortality. Did Full Metal Alchemist change its audio to sorcerer for the American audience too?

2024-02-09 17:35:16 +0000 UTCI’ve listened to this more times than I care to share and it cracks me up every single time! Rickman’s voice 😂

Ray
2022-12-04 07:08:30 +0000 UTCI was wondering why it cut out a couple times, I'd love to hear their comments about it.
Ray
2022-12-04 07:07:25 +0000 UTCWhat? There's not even another version of this except the one with the deleted scenes included on most pirating sites.
Ray
2022-12-04 07:05:50 +0000 UTCWhat's up with the couple of times the audio cuts out? Mainly when talking about jk Rowling. Or the Jewish goblin thing.
Ray
2022-12-04 07:03:57 +0000 UTCYou guys need to do all the HP films like you did with Twilight.
Michael Larson
2022-11-19 05:33:52 +0000 UTCdefinitely do the sequel(s) !
Bernd Talasch
2022-11-10 21:57:21 +0000 UTCAs a queer person who grew up loving harry potter---only to become horribly disillusioned as an adult---listening to you guys absolutely dunk on this first film gives me the uncomplicated joy that Harry Potter used to---and I thank you dearly for it. I would love for more HP commentaries!! 💜

2022-05-13 18:43:45 +0000 UTCI see you found the Buffalo-Whiiiild Wings!" ... "Did you find it most delectable?" :) :)
Zora McBride
2022-05-08 06:46:36 +0000 UTCFucking incredible, thank you so much! Love everything you guys do--please, please continue with this franchise!
Allanah Trice
2022-05-03 12:12:45 +0000 UTCI believe they said they're going to but over a period of time, not pirates style. lol Still I can't wait for Chamber as it's the last one with R.I.P. Richard Harris, and hence the last chance for hysterical impressions of the age'd wizard.
Zora McBride
2022-04-17 22:08:09 +0000 UTClmfao This was absolute gold you guys. Commentaries are my favorite and they just keep getting better! Those Dumbledoor impressions (Steve) keep me rolling! "Thank you for being an unwilling soldier in my eternal war, Harry!" "I see you found the Buffalo Whwhwhild Wings, ..." "Extra special points for an extra special great boy!" Can't wait for the next one!
Zora McBride
2022-04-17 22:05:12 +0000 UTCI love the commentaries and this might be the best one. Well done.

2022-04-12 19:36:36 +0000 UTCThis had me cracking up last night! Great way to revisit this film. Would love if y’all did the sequels! 🧙

2022-04-12 19:36:11 +0000 UTCOh how I wish Raul Julia made an appearance in this situation..Raul Julia and Andre the Giant
Emily Thompson
2022-04-10 00:36:16 +0000 UTCAmazing! Spot on Hagrid and Snape impressions. Bukkake mirrors. I ruined clothes listening to this. Bravo!
Destin Moulton
2022-04-09 00:57:16 +0000 UTCHarry Potter is just a rich kid jock who ends up becoming a wizard cop. I haven't laughed this much in a while, especially with the Snape impressions. 5 stars!

2022-04-07 13:49:31 +0000 UTCThe two versions I tried using were 1:38, something like that, it was off within the first 10 minutes. Thanks for the advice, though.
Christopher Preciado
2022-04-06 18:29:13 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure they are using the most common release of this movie. Its readily available on HBO Max (with ads) or Peacock or Hulu. Or it will be in select theaters in the US tomorrow if thats more your thing.
Shane Brierly
2022-04-05 18:56:52 +0000 UTCI've gotten to watch exactly 0 of these because of the versions you select.
Christopher Preciado
2022-04-05 17:39:47 +0000 UTCReally hoping you guys at least do the other Columbus movie. Need to hear your bits on the toilet ghost girl.
andy
2022-04-03 04:12:29 +0000 UTCIn case you’re wondering, the audio in Region B does indeed say “Philosopher’s Stone.” Also Ian Hart (Quirrell) is a great actor who turns up all over the place looking totally different each time, from John Lennon in Backbeat to the one-legged sailor in The Terror.
Leighton Pritchard
2022-04-02 21:35:17 +0000 UTCI know you guys are probably going to keep mixing it up with the quarterly commentaries, but it would be awesome if you got to the rest of these sooner rather than later - there's so much bizarre unbelievable shit we haven't even gotten to in this godforsaken franchise (the ghost chat in this one reminded me that the Worst Ghost - Moaning Myrtle, the squeaky middle-aged woman who haunts the children's public restrooms - doesn't even appear until the second film. To say nothing of Dobby and the house-elves, which is where this series' weird magical racism/imperial nostalgia kicks into high)
Tyler Weeks
2022-04-02 14:47:28 +0000 UTCEric saying floating dick is haunting me. In a good way.
Peter Reynoso
2022-04-02 11:26:36 +0000 UTCI was dying laughing on this one. My six year old likes this movie and I won't let her watch the others so I've seen this movie wayyyyyyy too much the last few months. Fantastic beasts is trash so I give it 5 years before this series is rebooted with like Robert Downey Jr as Dumbledore. Nice to hear it ripped apart in such a delightful way.
Alexander Farr
2022-04-01 23:41:09 +0000 UTCI only watched these movies once (and never read the books), but I think the Weasley son that’s in Romania is played by Domhnall Gleason

2022-04-01 20:57:38 +0000 UTCCan we get a double paywall exclusive to hear more about the films Antisemitism
Justin Minor
2022-04-01 14:10:39 +0000 UTCListening to y’all tear into a movie I watched wayyy too much as a child was surprisingly cathartic, especially after learning about J(ust)K(idding) I’m-an-awful-person-Rowling. All the Snape impressions and Harry’s Mom jokes had my wife and I full on belly laughing, thank you.
Dal Lynn
2022-04-01 04:37:48 +0000 UTCThis. Please everyone consider donations to these organizations. We make it clear up front that JK Rowling is a piece of shit. It came out today because we were late and it's the last day of the month, not a slight against the day of visibility.
We Hate Movies
2022-04-01 03:00:04 +0000 UTCHappy Transgender Day of Visibility! Upped donations to The Trevor Project, National Center for Transgender Equality before starting the episode and hope others will, too, if able. And please research local orgs doing work on the ground as well!
Nichole Goble
2022-04-01 01:49:42 +0000 UTCWhat is up with the weird 15 second gap? Thought my player had frozen. Something redacted? Edit: oh, there it is again. Seeing a pattern to these gaps.
Andrew
2022-03-31 23:48:35 +0000 UTCAre there names redacted around the anti semitic chat?
David Thompson
2022-03-31 19:39:56 +0000 UTCJust to answer a question you had, yes the scenes where they say sorcerer's stone in the US version, they do say philosopher's stone in the UK version.
Tony King
2022-03-31 19:39:00 +0000 UTCLike Eric, I couldn’t possibly give a shit about these movies after powering through the first few. Also, I’ve never seen any of the other things he’s been in, but I just recently worked with Harry’s shitty cousin on a movie called “The Pale Blue Eye” that hits Netflix probably in the fall. He plays a young Edgar Allen Poe.
Rob Brown
2022-03-31 19:13:41 +0000 UTCtheoretically. if you're looking at that WB logo and it looks like how we describe on the track, should be gravy! - AJ
We Hate Movies
2022-03-31 17:44:08 +0000 UTCThis should work with the HBO Max version, so long as I match up the time codes, or close enough, right?
Jeremy Pawlak
2022-03-31 17:38:42 +0000 UTCRemember the part where all the kids have to take turns wearing the sorting hat who tells them what their gender should be, and there's NO CHANGING it!
