Mark it down: on July 19, 2017, Dan officially rescinded his opinion that Terminator 3 is a better movie than Terminator 1. While playing Super Mario Sunshine.
To this date this is the first time I take into consideration the possibility that Dan was consciously trolling. I vividly remember where I was when I first listened to this episode and I also remember thinking: "God, they've hired a brick"
To Kill A Moa Bird there's also been something lightly cathartic about watching them play Sunshine and seeing Dan have to start admitting the game is not as great as he always insists 😝
The real reason why Jeff just went solo as Dan came back is because without anyone else there to stop this, it would have ended in Jeff likely killing Dan live on air.
I've come to really love the weird dynamic between Dan and Jeff. They remind me of the kind of friends who argue all the time but still love hanging out.
T1 and T2 are both fantastic movies for very different reasons, much like Alien and Aliens. Depending on a person's mood and tastes preferring T2 over T1, or vice versa, is perfectly reasonable. Terminator 3 was just hot garbage and Dan is a madman
I agree, I get the feeling that most people that prefer T1 over T2 probably like Alien more than Aliens. I happen to enjoy Aliens more than Alien, Alien has pacing problems and the Alien looks at times wrong, I like the more compact design of the Aliens in the 2nd movie.
Odd that you say that. I thought that the pacing was one of the greatest strengths of Alien. It takes forever to get going, but during that time it's building up unbearable anticipation, tension, and anxiety. Makes my buttcheeks get super clenched. I will agree that the Xenomorph looks a little inconsistent in Alien, though. At times it looks incredible and at other times you can totally tell that it's a man in a suit. Hence why I think the film works best when you can only see glimpses of the Xenomorph or when you can't see it at all.
If Dan Rykert loves Terminator 2 so much, he should REALLY hate Terminator 3, given that Terminator 3 pretty much renders Terminator 2 completely moot. T2: "No fate but what we make." T3: "LOL NEVER MIND"
I don't think it really does render it moot. If anything, T3 is more a comment that humanity is prone to keep making the same mistakes. We stopped one catastrophe...doesn't mean we won't cause a different one though. Hence there is no fate but what we make.
Terminator 2 is one of the best movies ever made. Terminator 3 is essentially just Hollywood throwing a hissy fit at James Cameron for not wanting to make another one, deliberately fucking up the storyline from 2 to enable them to make more sequels. It goes 2, then 1, then 4, then probably 5, which hasn't even come out yet, and *then* 3.
Whether or not I agree with what he's saying, Rykert is a fucking breath of fresh air. I love Giant Bomb, but Dan's optimism and energy is something I've been pining for a while. Not just because I prefer his taste in games. And I'm totally with him on Sunshine.
Totally agree with you on Dan. He's a lot more interesting than his boilerplate tastes (3 favorite franchises: Mario, Zelda, MGS. Variety!) might lead you to believe.
I love how Jeff brings up the one G.I. Joe episode that I remember the most because of how insane it was. *SQUAWK* "Remember that time in Reno?" "Okay, I believe you're real!"
I remember these early days of Dan. It was a perfect show for this short time. Then he was transferred to the East and nothing would achieve this greatness again.
Had to listen to this again, having watched Dan revisit the game with the GBeast crew. Jeff could not have foreshadow all the things that have gone wrong so far any better.
Does anyone remember the podcast where Jeff says anytime is too long for watching The Rock. It's defiantly an earlier episode if anyone could help me out.
God, I love those early Dan Bombcasts where everyone would be incredulous at the things coming out of Dan's mouth at least once a week. That said, I also think Mario Sunshine is a really good game. If you ignore all the bullshit like Blue Coins, the pachinko level, The Great Watermelon Festival, etc. So like 70% great, 30% BS.
T1's my favorite of the two. A few reasons: A) Sarah/Reece chemistry is off the charts B) It's a gritty sci fi movie grounded in the realm of believability.
And Jeff isn't? dislikes Yoshi's Island AND JP? I think the fucker just hates dinosaurs. Jeff, if you ever see this. PAX Prime. Me and you behind that starbucks near the convention center. Fists only, no shirts. We'll both feel better afterwards.
Yeah I feel confused. For many years I’ve heard about how T2 is amazing and the best and I watched terminator and then T2 the following night. And T2 is good but I like Terminator better I think. I loved the future scenes in T1 that T2 really didn’t have also the kid John Connor kind of sucks
I fucking lost my shit when he said Terminator 3 was better than 1. I was in bed had to sleep to go to work, I had to listen to the rest of this, it was a long night and next day at work.
I wanted to watch G.I. Joe so bad when I was a kid but it was on cable and we only had the terrestrial channels which were Swedish Public Service Channel 1 and 2 (SVT1, SVT2) and later on one commercial channel TV4. I did however have a VHS with some episodes of M.A.S.K and the intro theme for that show is FUCKING AMAZING!
Terminator 2 has a subplot about a Terminator learning what it means to be human, to feel emotions, to cry, etc. Yeah, teenage john connor slinging outdated edgy one liners and shit is kinda corny, but holy fuck did i feel a ton of emotions from that subplot climaxing with the terminator sacrifing himself and saying "i now know why you cry"
TERMINATOR 1 COULD FUCKING HAPPEN MAN
"Gritty-fucking-rock-hard murder" is one of the best things I've heard leave Jeff's mouth.
+Preston Dean i want it on a shirt
"Terminator one could fucking HAPPEN man."
Amazing.
Mark it down: on July 19, 2017, Dan officially rescinded his opinion that Terminator 3 is a better movie than Terminator 1. While playing Super Mario Sunshine.
was this on the Beastcast? I need to hear it
I second this, I need recorded evidence of this revelation of his.
to date, Dan is the only man who can troll Jeff hard enough to make him fan-boyishly angry.
+Dee Kay yep and I love him for it.
i mean, he picked his battle on this one. t2 is fucking amazing
To this date this is the first time I take into consideration the possibility that Dan was consciously trolling. I vividly remember where I was when I first listened to this episode and I also remember thinking: "God, they've hired a brick"
To Kill A Moa Bird there's also been something lightly cathartic about watching them play Sunshine and seeing Dan have to start admitting the game is not as great as he always insists 😝
After 3 years, do you still think Dan is actually trolling?
"You hired this guy"
Drew's timing is _impeccable_
Dan - "It's better than one"
Jeff - "that what FUCK god what"
LOL
"THE WHAT
FUCK GOD DUH WHAT?!"
i never get tired of hearing that
3:46
The real reason why Jeff just went solo as Dan came back is because without anyone else there to stop this, it would have ended in Jeff likely killing Dan live on air.
Truth.
"Sunshine is good. Better than '64."
...
"NO IT FUCKING ISN'T GODDAMMIT"
I'm dying.
Dan's first few months on the Giant Bombcast will not be matched.
"SAVE US! SAVE US BRAD!" is my favorite utterance Drew has ever made. There's just something magical about it.
Gritty. Fucking. Rock Hard. Murder.
I miss when they had this kind of energy
I will forever appreciate just how great the sentence "Terminator one could fuckin' happen, man" is
I come back to this once a month
i come back to listen to this way too much
Hahah, same!
Lolll same xD!!!
"SAVE US! SAVE US, BRAD!!"
This video is on my favorites list. Been watching it occasionally for yard. Just now noticed the poster says "Here's a Truck."
Fucking love Dan and Jeff and their whole dynamic.
I've come to really love the weird dynamic between Dan and Jeff. They remind me of the kind of friends who argue all the time but still love hanging out.
This is what happens when you eat eggshells for breakfast.
I liked Terminator 3 as an action flick, and I liked the ending.
But better than 1? Bullshit.
'Terminator 1 was a good 8.5'
Dan really should've said 8.8
It's like a Universal Studios ride... such a great line.
Jeff anticipated Martin Scorsese's opinion on Marvel movies
The original Terminator is "gritty fuckin' rock hard MURDER" lol
T1 and T2 are both fantastic movies for very different reasons, much like Alien and Aliens. Depending on a person's mood and tastes preferring T2 over T1, or vice versa, is perfectly reasonable.
Terminator 3 was just hot garbage and Dan is a madman
Alien is better than all of those by a mile, though
I agree, I get the feeling that most people that prefer T1 over T2 probably like Alien more than Aliens. I happen to enjoy Aliens more than Alien, Alien has pacing problems and the Alien looks at times wrong, I like the more compact design of the Aliens in the 2nd movie.

CaptainMorganThe3rd yeah, I'm thinking of the part in Alien when the Xenomorph picks up...someone with two hands and it looks really bad.
3:39 This is where the Jeff/Dan dynamic really clicked for me.
If Dan Rykert loves Terminator 2 so much, he should REALLY hate Terminator 3, given that Terminator 3 pretty much renders Terminator 2 completely moot.
T2: "No fate but what we make."
T3: "LOL NEVER MIND"
I dont think dan thinks in terms of thematic elements.
Even though his major is film study ...
@@MSUHitman You know he's proud of never going to class.
I don't think it really does render it moot. If anything, T3 is more a comment that humanity is prone to keep making the same mistakes. We stopped one catastrophe...doesn't mean we won't cause a different one though. Hence there is no fate but what we make.
Had to watch this again after the live Beastcast referenced it - this was such a fun era of the bombcast. Definitely gonna watch Dan play the T3 game.
Terminator 2 is one of the best movies ever made. Terminator 3 is essentially just Hollywood throwing a hissy fit at James Cameron for not wanting to make another one, deliberately fucking up the storyline from 2 to enable them to make more sequels. It goes 2, then 1, then 4, then probably 5, which hasn't even come out yet, and *then* 3.
This is why they made Dan move to New York.
Whether or not I agree with what he's saying, Rykert is a fucking breath of fresh air. I love Giant Bomb, but Dan's optimism and energy is something I've been pining for a while. Not just because I prefer his taste in games.
And I'm totally with him on Sunshine.
Totally agree with you on Dan. He's a lot more interesting than his boilerplate tastes (3 favorite franchises: Mario, Zelda, MGS. Variety!) might lead you to believe.
Dan gets Jeff to care again, and that's magical. He's slowly becoming early Jeff again.
Mario Sunshine is a giant steaming pile of rainbow colored shit.
It's Ryckert fucking headline titles brainwasing people's mindsets his popularity fandom on GI would defy you jk
"This is G.I. Fuckin' Joe man, it fuckin' goes!" I love it.
I wish they had video for these great debates
It would just be Dan waving his arms around while ranting, and Jeff silently filling out the paperwork necessary to fire Dan.
"Breath mint vs Candy mint"
Best ep of GI Joe and the only one that stuck with me through thirty years or whatever it's been.
this is maybe my favorite thing on the internet
This is one of my favorite conversations.
I've watched this several times, and I just now realized the tagline says "Here's a Truck"
Dude me too lmao
I was on board with Dan saying T2 is better than T1 because it is but when he said T3 was better than T1 he completely lost me.
I love how Jeff brings up the one G.I. Joe episode that I remember the most because of how insane it was.
*SQUAWK* "Remember that time in Reno?"
"Okay, I believe you're real!"
Brad: "Who the fuck are you?!"
He's YOU, Brad
it is 1130pm I just got the news about gerstman listening to this to take a trip down memory lane
I remember these early days of Dan. It was a perfect show for this short time. Then he was transferred to the East and nothing would achieve this greatness again.
and we took it for granted too :'(
@@dennismoore56 and now...well.
@@allegate387 brad is leaving :(
"Terminator 1 could fucking happen man"
Had to listen to this again, having watched Dan revisit the game with the GBeast crew. Jeff could not have foreshadow all the things that have gone wrong so far any better.
It took me forever to realize that the T2 poster in the video has "Here's a Truck" on it.
Yet the only vehicle in the poster is a motorcycle...
3:41 Its better than 1. Oh god.
6:40 Sunshine is better than 64
this is fax doe
NOW YOU'RE JUST LYING TO PEOPLE
The unsung quote of this entire clip is Brad's befuddled "What... the fuck" when Dan said he never had tea before.
Dude I miss this era so bad😂
3:45 always fucking kills me.
Dan works best when someone is there to hard disagree.
I agree....wait, shit!
Longetevity. As per the rule of Dan, that's now a word.
I love this so much!
Dan is literally the only person on Earth who thinks T3 is better than T1.
He actually went back to T3 a year or so after this and reneged on his stance, except the coffin scene.
"Everyone hates Dan Rykerts opinions"
Fixed that for ya.
Verily
T2 is objectively the best film in the series though
@@gitman3486 That is your incorrect opinion.
@@Trigger-yw2ee Your entire being is incorrect
This is the content that made me a premium member. Amazing
15:32. Drew got away with saying "penis"
Damn it. I’ll be back one year from now. Rip giant bomb. I love you
It's funny that Dan's opinions on Terminator 3 and Sunshine have changed in these years.
Not that I value Dan's opinions, but keep in mind that Gerstmann thinks that Alien sucked and Event Horizon was way better.
"No one has ever said Blow is their Terminator 3."
Dan “ I’ve never had tea in my life “ Ryckert
Does anyone remember the podcast where Jeff says anytime is too long for watching The Rock. It's defiantly an earlier episode if anyone could help me out.
cant hear this now without thinking about battler and bernkastel
lol same
I can hear the Red Truths everywhere
I kind of love Brad's high pitched "WTF" moments more than Jeff's rants
God, I love those early Dan Bombcasts where everyone would be incredulous at the things coming out of Dan's mouth at least once a week.
That said, I also think Mario Sunshine is a really good game. If you ignore all the bullshit like Blue Coins, the pachinko level, The Great Watermelon Festival, etc. So like 70% great, 30% BS.
T1's my favorite of the two. A few reasons: A) Sarah/Reece chemistry is off the charts B) It's a gritty sci fi movie grounded in the realm of believability.
Jeff on the right side of history
Dan has real Chevy Chase energy in these early wild statements
i love how i switch sides with just about every topic change
I fucking wish they had started to record video for the podcast at this point. I would pay to see these discussion on video. =D
Dan is out of his damn mind
And Jeff isn't? dislikes Yoshi's Island AND JP? I think the fucker just hates dinosaurs. Jeff, if you ever see this. PAX Prime. Me and you behind that starbucks near the convention center. Fists only, no shirts. We'll both feel better afterwards.
Comeback64 Oh he is for sure there's no arguing that. But I feel like saying T3 is better then T1 takes a special kinda of nuts.
Makron5
Always makes you feel better afterwards, doesn't it?
You guys telling me you're not supposed to feel guilt, shame and despair after jacking off?
More like Jeff. Doesn't like Terminator 2 or Jurassic Park? Literally 2 of the best movies of the decade.
"Save us Brad!"
Jeff is so fuckin spot on with the robocop shit
T2 is perhaps the best action movie of all time, but the original is, by far, the best Terminator movie.
Yeah I feel confused. For many years I’ve heard about how T2 is amazing and the best and I watched terminator and then T2 the following night. And T2 is good but I like Terminator better I think. I loved the future scenes in T1 that T2 really didn’t have also the kid John Connor kind of sucks
3:46 LOL my exact reaction when I heard it first
LE0NSKA Those were my exact partial words when I heard that on my phone.
10:05
Jeff, I love you man. But that does it. You and me at the bike rack.
T2 > T1 > T3 very end > nothing else exists
I fucking lost my shit when he said Terminator 3 was better than 1. I was in bed had to sleep to go to work, I had to listen to the rest of this, it was a long night and next day at work.
Dan's opinions on things are crazy, he's attitude to food is crazy, and his world views are crazy, DAN IS JUST CRAZY
When he said 3 is better than 1. GUY IS CRAZY.
I wanted to watch G.I. Joe so bad when I was a kid but it was on cable and we only had the terrestrial channels which were Swedish Public Service Channel 1 and 2 (SVT1, SVT2) and later on one commercial channel TV4. I did however have a VHS with some episodes of M.A.S.K and the intro theme for that show is FUCKING AMAZING!
Terminator 2: Here's a Truck
Jeff, you speak such truth.
"T1 is real!"
Shows arnold become a animatronic robot,harry hausen stop motion puppet,with the first stupid one liner... "i'll be back"
SAVE US BRAD!!!!!!!!
Lol he turned full Patrick Boivin in this xD
Hahaha I love that Jeff and Dan are slowly killing Brad. Jeff let him be the host exactly for this, that's my theory.
Does this episode have a video version? I want to see Jeff's reaction when Dan says sunshine is better than 64.
No, this was waaaay before they recorded video of the podcasts.
I like RoboCop 2 more than 1. It's a less focused movie, but I think makes up for it in it's ambitions.
Now Jeff knows how I've reacted to his opinions for years now haha.
"...now you're being fucking CRAZY."
"Terminator 1 could fucking happen, man."
Yeah, I cannot wait to see time travel stuff happening.
That wasn't a minigun that the T-850, Arnold, uses in Terminator 3. It was a Browning M1919A4 .30-06. Yes, I'm a nerd.
Terminator 2 has a subplot about a Terminator learning what it means to be human, to feel emotions, to cry, etc. Yeah, teenage john connor slinging outdated edgy one liners and shit is kinda corny, but holy fuck did i feel a ton of emotions from that subplot climaxing with the terminator sacrifing himself and saying "i now know why you cry"
SAVE US! SAVE US BRAD!
Terminator is to Alien as Terminator 2 is to Aliens.
you mean terminator 2 is to terminator as aliens is to alien.
No. Terminator/Alien are monster survival + horror movies. Aliens and T2 are action movies.
yes. he agrees. but your wording is wrong :D
yes, I know, but you're using the "is to as" wrong.
I don't think I am. You may be misunderstanding my point.
THIS IS MY HAPPY PLACE
Ghostbusters vs TMNT
"Oh shit..."
