His “degree” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Search for the clip where he talks about how he got credit for his classes. It’s infuriating. He had multiple semesters where he didn’t go to any classes at all. He passed these courses based on “equivalent practical experience”: his (self-admitted) crappy local access TV show. He even passed an editing class by virtue of some dumb DVD he made of 100 random one minute clips from TV shows and movies. The original purpose of said DVD? Dan sold it on campus as a “power hour” compilation for drinking. I like Dan, but it’s absolutely criminal how he finagled his degree.
Dan would be better for it to watch through the Godfather movies. For a Simpsons fan it brings in like fifteen billion Godfather references into focus.
I enjoy dan as the one person at giant bomb that doesn't just submit to orthodox opinions and has no problems expressing it, though I guess Jeff shares that a bit. On the inverse is alex who is like white noise incarnated into human form.
hfkaudnebcysodmfldugy The Godfather is one of the few that doesn't fetishize it though. Or at least not nearly as much or as shamelessly. And even if it's not the most exciting film I can appreciate the construction and execution of its tone/arcs/scenes. If you're gonna be that reductive it's hard to take your opinion seriously.
Dan is a “film major” in the sense that he just went to school, occasionally watched tv, and was told he had to graduate with something.
"I'm wiser now! I know more stuff and words!" - Dan Ryckert.
3:37 Abby's plaintive "oh, Dan..." is both hilarious and heartbreaking.
That's the tone I would have if my coworker told me their dog was hit by a car
I love how genuinely concerned Abby is for Dan
studied film knows pacino from jack and jill couldnt finish the godfather help help im dying
Got a degree in Film.....A DEGREE!!!
He recently watched and loved them, talked about it on panning the stream

Seen 2.5 Al Pacino films. Heat, The Godfather and Jack and Jill.
... The Godfather was the one he didn't finish.
Dan is great. Miss him on the Bombcast and Jeff's reaction to his weird takes on stuff. But Alex is doing just fine lol
It was only a matter of time
Dan is actually better on the Beastcast, I feel like. Vinny-dad trying to care for his handicapped son, and Alex reacting like this is pretty great.
Vinny dad Alex and jeff uncles and abby sister

I'M A *FAN* OF DAN!
Can’t believe it took 107 episodes
I'm with alex on this, but then you hear the sadness in Vinny speaks VOLUMES in his humanity
It’s crazy that Alex mentions the next Dragon Age being in development and this was 6 years ago.
If Dan was bored by Godfather he'll be comatose for Dog Day Afternoon. I fucking love that movie but Dan wouldn't make it.
Alex resisted long enough.
To this day, Alex is still laying on the floor because of Dan. Poor guy. :(
finally, after 6 months.
where did you find that picture?
koritoprime it was posted on Jeff's Twitter
Jack and Jill? That feature length product placement disguised as a comedy? Come on, Dan.
"there aren't that many good movies about football" come on, man. Heaven Can Wait, Friday Night Lights, Jerry Maguire?
@@galivanting theres nothing more useless than someone saying "thats an opinion" after someone states their opinion.
Jerry Maguire is not about football.
Dan has the worst taste.
I mean if you've heard Dan's story he never attended class it was a joke. Colleges are a joke.
They never mentioned Scarface...
1:15 Actually... :P
barely seen godfather. im on team dan.
That team is on the wrong side of history son.

yeah godfather is boring lol, never understood the fetishism around italian crime family films
hfkaudnebcysodmfldugy your profile pic is embarrassing as fuck
JaynePea how dare you try to shame me for my homeland you xenophobe

i wasn't saying the movie fetishizes crime families, more that the fans do.
