I was trying to remember if there was a pre-musical version where the Phantom was a scientist, since there are versions where he was disfigured after being burned with acid.

tsukiouji

For real? I thought I remembered he and Shannon talking about what happened on Glass Box. Shit.

Luke Thompson

I'm going to join the chorus that knew Eli was talking about Billy Zane vehicle The Phantom and is not crazy (this time). And it would be a FANTASTIC pick for a bonus episode. Apparently I'm also part of the nerd-pervert audience. I identified with Eli a LOT in this episode. 🤣

Evan Read

I hate that I knew all the names from listening and re-listening to GAM reviews.

Paintmekala

Eli is, in fact, the king of us fellow Nerd Perverts

Caldwell

I also understood Heath's joke in the after credits, haha... but can someone explain it for Eli real quick?

Joseph Haynes

Oh no wait, that WAS the phantom in 1996! Why was I allowed to watch that? I was 6!!

Joseph Haynes

I remember. I think it was the Rocketeer, there was a microscope with a pair of blades that shot out when you turned the aperture!

Scott Lesch

Maybe booby trapped binoculars from James Bond movie?

James Russell

I never saw it but I remember the Phantom film being a thing. There's a comparable bit of business in a much earlier film called Horrors of the Black Museum (1959).

Nicholas Monter

Also, I now have a new nightmare.

Nicholas Monter

OK Eli. This time. This one moment, you were not crazy: https://youtu.be/LkBmLiDPbxQ

Morten Worsøe Schoubye

Yes. The Phantom starring Billy Zane. He punches people leaving a skull ring mark in them. Lives in the jungle.

Peter Cobcroft

I have seen next weeks movie (on Tubi) - be aware there are 2 versions. The version on Tubi has most of the religious references removed and is more like a secular movie.

Peter Cobcroft

I remember that in the Phantom movie. How can they not remember a Billy Zane masterpiece?

Laura Lusby

I’m just glad that Heath was also confused about THE PHANTOM because I was reading all these comments trying to figure out when the Phantom of the Opera also used a microscope

Glenjamin

Not only am I here to vouch for Eli on the microscope thing (that terrified me until I was 10), but I’m upping the ante. The Phantom is the clear option for the next bonus flick.

Denise Huston

*waves in Nerd Pervert* WHERE IS THIS MERCH, ELI?

Matt

I believe so

Markus D

I did not remember the microscope scene in The Phantom, but I remembered the movie existing and said "yeah, the... purple guy" out loud (couldn't remember the words "comic book hero" or anything like that), so I'm glad that that's the exact way Eli explained it.

Markus D

Aw, shit. Did he do that!?

Kiwi Satan

What.

Robert Muse

I think they had a falling out due to him supporting Andrew t over Thomas Smith

Mick

Wooooo! Nerd Perverts!!

AtomicSquirrel (Evan)

I know the Phantom movie, too. I don’t remember that scene, but I know the movie.

Markus D

I AM THE NERDY PERVERT, ELI. Seriously, 9 times out of 10, instead of video porn, I will just read sexy fanfics. Often of Erwin and Levi from Attack on Titan, but I have multiple bookmarked options.

Nora Garcia-Ruan

Eli's fanfiction jokes have reached the intended audience 🤣🤣

Mike D

Phantom rules! Here is the microscope scene https://youtu.be/LkBmLiDPbxQ?si=iijGSfLQPrIx0H0j

Starshark

So the Breakfast Club close for that movie was basically the embodiment of that Simpsons joke: "You remember that time I borrowed ten dollars off you and paid you back? Well now it's time for YOU to do ME a favour!"

Zach Van Stanley

I got you, Eli! 🤜🤛

Zach Van Stanley

I definitely get the Phantom microscope reference

Gmork

Did they ever mention what kind of lawyer Ann is?

Scott W. Davis

You are correct about the Phantom, Eli. "Welp, won't be needing these then."

tsukiouji

They should get Bryce on for all these "historical" Mormon movies

Sumthinstupd

I'm gonna ask for the phantom for Gam bonus on every episode from here on out. I saw the phantom in theaters as a kid and completely forgot until you mentioned it Eli!

KayJayO

The Phantom is real Eli! Made in 1996

Lilith210

I feel I've heard of it, but either way, after thus episode they need to do whatever movie Eli was talking about (or do all the ones Heath mentioned first

Markus Nävergård

i know the phantom movie. Lee falks the Phantom movie from the 90´s. it is a Australian made movie. The Phantom movie for Bonus movie episode guy.

WelcomeToFalse

You didn’t imagine it, Eli. I saw The Phantom (starring Billy Zane) in the theater, when I was a kid. I think there may have even been a slide under the microscope that read, “I LIED”.
