Craig PriceHOST
Well, before we wrap it up, because we're not going to do final thoughts because we don't have time for it, but I do want to do one final thought.
Craig PriceHOST
And actually, so today, Comicpalooza Day, we dropped our Patreon episode of The Great Escape.
Craig PriceHOST
The
Alan CernyHOST
Great Escape, that's right.
Craig PriceHOST
And he just texted me.
Craig PriceHOST
And it's like a little fan email to end this up, because this is exactly why we do this.
Craig PriceHOST
It said, just finished your episode for my Patreon pick, The Great Escape.
Craig PriceHOST
Love the recasting for one of my absolute favorite films.
Josh HorowitzGUEST
That was one that I saw years later after I had seen Big Trouble because I was interested in John Carpenter films.
Josh HorowitzGUEST
And then finally, I think the classic escape movie has to be The Great Escape.
Josh HorowitzGUEST
Just with all the planning, the different tunnels and the names and everything, and based on a real-life event, I believe, isn't it? The Great Escape? Yes, it is.
Josh HorowitzGUEST
Though there's one bonus one that I saw on the list and I was kind of happy to see it there.
Josh HorowitzGUEST
There was a movie on there called The Wrong Guys, which I happen to be in.
George ClarkPANELIST
It's The Rock all over again.
English NickPANELIST
The Great Escape or something, he's gonna redo that.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
that.You're the man now, dog.

[laughs]
Vaughan ArnellGUEST
And I think there was ...
Vaughan ArnellGUEST
He reminded me, when he had his head cropped, he reminded me of a really young Steve McQueen from The Great Escape or Bullitt or something like that.
MattHOST
Mm.
Vaughan ArnellGUEST
And you think he'd got that.
Jesse NussmanHOST
Now I don't know anything.
Jesse NussmanHOST
I mean, I've seen The Great Escape.
Jesse NussmanHOST
I've seen Grand Prix.
Jesse NussmanHOST
Both of those are good.
Kae RossHOST
but it's playing in some s- like, similar tropes.
Kae RossHOST
It just, like, it does feel like The Great Escape, uh, you know, uh, to me, uh-
Gary ButterfieldHOST
Yeah
Kae RossHOST
... without, like, a heavy jailbreak element to it.
TroyHOST
So I have a list of a few wartime movies that I really enjoy.
TroyHOST
That would be like Bridge Over the River Kwai and The Great Escape.
TroyHOST
This movie, I am pleasant to say, is, in my own opinion, equal to those types of movies.
TroyHOST
Something about it, at the beginning I was like, yep, we got Frank Sinatra in this movie.
Paul KindGUEST
You look at like The Longest Day, Battle of the Bulge, Lawrence of Arabia.
Paul KindGUEST
Bridge Over the River Kwai, The Great Escape.
Paul KindGUEST
I mean, the list just kind of goes on and on.
Paul KindGUEST
And it was just a period of, you know, 20 years where we're just making these great films.
Paul KindGUEST
Yes, trying to jam pack an awful lot in and get all the relevant people involved, whereas they could pick and choose with the longest day.
Paul KindGUEST
I felt that, you know, the key events of that of the Allied invasion.
Paul KindGUEST
If you look at, let's say, like the Great Escape or Bridge over the River Kwai, very confined kind of cast, very strong narrative in there.
Paul KindGUEST
Unlike this one, this was quite loose.
Tobias Beach-WyldHOST
Mm
Tom WarlandHOST
... reminds me of the, the re- the Russian in, uh, The Great Escape.
Tobias Beach-WyldHOST
Yes, I was thinking Great Escape-
Tom WarlandHOST
Fa- facially.
DerekHOST
It's, it's a really cool, uh, it's really effective.
JakeHOST
And then, uh, the third transmission, directed by, um, J- uh, Dan Bush, uh, called Escape From Terminus.
DerekHOST
Mm-hmm.
JakeHOST
It's another escape.
DerekHOST
Oh, yeah.
DerekHOST
We're in-
JakeHOST
The Great Escape?
DerekHOST
We're on an escape roll.
