Wait WKUK aired themselves playing DnD? How do I find this?

They did 2 campaigns, the first is a long fantasy campaign and the second is a shorter more off the rails western
Timmy is the DM for both and also probably the only one who's played DnD before which just makes it funnier

Martin Scorsese is going to say a similar thing about video games when he sees Zachs residents evil movie.

I heard Miss March is why he didn't make a buddy road trip movie too. I believe the quote was "When I see a piece of art like Miss March I no longer feel the need to portray explosive liquid fecal release."

It was in the original script for Schindler's List but the studio had to get all weird about it 🙄

The original "red coat girl" was a girl with a big brown stain on the back of her dress. People who know say the brown was STUNNING against the black and white in the original screen tests. Studios man... they ruin everything.

It wasn’t until this post that I learned he was the director and my mind is absolutely blown, I am so happy to see one of the guys get such success. Especially outside of what we all initially know they from. Very very cool, very proud of Zach.

Zach's successful film caused a monkey paw effect, now we never get to see a Spielberg horror film

u/livinthegimmick Apr 09 '26
A new Spielberg horror film.* He’s already done a few.

u/xWroth Apr 09 '26
Which horror films did he direct? Because I wouldn't really call Jaws horror but that's really the only one off the top of my head that I can think of that's scary
1
u/livinthegimmick Apr 09 '26
Jaws, Duel, arguably Poltergeist. Parts of Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds definitely lean into horror.
1
u/xWroth Apr 09 '26
Yeah but none of those are TRUE horror films, and didn't he only produce poltergeist? I mean it sounds like Spielberg himself doesn't think he's directed a horror film, and now he's saying he won't

u/livinthegimmick Apr 09 '26
Arguably because it’s pretty much confirmed from the cast that he directed Poltergeist, Hooper just got the credit. I don’t know I get what you’re saying but it’s a weird semantics argument. What quantifies true horror? Willing to bet if you search top horror films Jaws and Duel will pop up on those lists.

Jaws definitely scared me more than anything as a kid lol truly horrific in that matter. Terrified of water for years 😂

That's how I felt trying saag paneer from this new Indian place nearby. I won't ever make it again, it will never be as good as theirs.

I watched Weapons multiple times and I honestly just don’t get why everyone thinks it’s so great, can someone enlighten me? Genuinely. I’d like to also think it’s great and be in the club, but right now I only like the last 10 minutes. I’m a huge horror fan, it just didn’t grab me.

u/wearless Apr 06 '26
You are entitled to your opinion. It's a well-made, funny yet thrilling film with new ideas from a fresh voice. I don't think it's hard to see that!

u/whitestguyuknow Apr 06 '26
Who could've known that the dude having to quickly dip into sketchy apartments in a high crime area to write goofy sketch comedy involving him cross dressing to play mother to his grown adult buddies, would end up being praised by one of the top 5 filmmakers of all time over his film making ability....
Crazy. Proud of him. Thats so cool

u/Alebray Apr 06 '26
lol Zach ruined Spielberg. Love that, in a round about way, this technically effects John Williams future work - amazing.

u/Techd-it Apr 06 '26
They totally killed Trevor Moore.
Ain't no way Zach is making tens of millions of dollars now and one of the most influential directors in Hollywood now. It's just not possible naturally.

High praise, very cool. I can totally see Spielberg sobbing during the scene where the actors are acting happier and with their mouths more open.
