BB and Matt agree this needs to be seen on the big screen, Adam is now bringing up his math on the wasted 82minutes at 800k per minute of movie, Adam is commenting on the potential screenings you miss out on for a longer running time that cost more to make, that only results in people telling you “it was way too long dude.”
Matt and BB both agree it didn’t feel too long, Adam is now asking them, he says it’s pretty insane that could be that long and not feel long, he cuts them off and says that almost must make it a good movie, does it not.
