I'm a huge John C Reilly fans so idk why I put this one off so long, but that was great! Hope you can react to Boogie Nights some day!

Answers to a couple unanswered questions: Yeah, all the songs were actually sung by John C Reilly, who played Dewey. In fact, when the movie came out, he did a real tour as Dewey Cox called "Cox Across America." Real physical albums were released as well. The guy at the Lifetime Achievement Awards with the great hair was Eddie Vedder. Lead singer of Pearl Jam.

Hell yeah Mr. Cellophane was singing!

Dewey's got more kids than Nick Cannon

Another masterful reaction, J never disappoints.

Just some movie/music trivia: When you hear him name drop a bunch of musicians, they are actual people. Though the actor who plays Buddy Holly is a lot shorter than Buddy Holly actually was, lol. The Big Bopper was also mentioned. He and Buddy Holly died in a plane crash along with Ritchie Valens on February 3rd 1959, known as The Day the Music Died. He was doing a pretty spot on impersonation of Bob Dylan, with his deep lyrics and whiny voice. This movie is supposed to be a play on many musical bio pics, not just Johnny Cash. Dewey's style also played on Roy Orbison and I believe Jerry Lee Lewis. In the late sixties when you see him with long hair and the huge orchestra, I call that his Brian Wilson phase, 'cause it plays on the Beach Boys member who kinda had a similar phase, lol. This movie is hilarious. As a side note, I love how you maintain all the female nudity was key to the plot, but when Burt the Roadie made his appearance, the look on your face immediately went to "Now that's just gratuitous." Also key to the plot, J. Just sayin'.

Thanks, I just compared the times on my versions, this one is the theatrical. The Director's Cut is probably pretty exclusive to the blu ray, it's hard to find even on disc, lol

Normally true, it's just that 90% of the time I'm not even aware that there are two versions. LoL

Blank EOM

Pretty sure it's the theatrical. The movie file is 1:36:00 long, and it said the directors cut is 24 more minutes. So I'm almost positive this is the theatrical.

I’ve never seen this one. Gonna be fun to watch it together 😊

Big Frank

If it doest say, it means that is the theatrical release (I think)

Space is Big

Thank you J & Blank, this is a great surprise today!

Renee S

Hell yeah! This one is hilarious. Is it the theatrical version or Director's cut? I have both on blu ray, want to make sure I'm tuning in to the right one.
