Have you ever listened to DVD commentaries?
-
I have a question for everyone who frequents this blog. I being a consumer of DVD's love the special features. My family only buying the standard editions of any movie, which makes me upset, means that I have to purchase my own copy of the same movie with the special edition discs. One of my favourite features is the DVD Commentaries. You get to hear the filmmakers, the writers, the producers, and sometimes even the actors themselves get to talk about the process of making the movie which to me is like Movie Trivia Gold.
I loooove learning about the behind the scenes of any show or movie that I enjoy.
I only bring this up because I have since February been making my own Fan DVD Commentaries for Geek movies on my podcast This Week in Geek. This to me is the best part about our show in that not only we strive to bring you weekly geek content, but we expand by actually watching movies and recording our own commentary for it. Mike and I along with several special guests get to give our own Trivia of whatever movie we are watching, and even make fun of things that we think are just funny. Much like MST3K we take apart movies we love and have fun with it.
So if you are a fan of Commentaries like I am, below are links to movies we have recorded Fan Commentaries on, and if you have suggestions for movies you would like to hear Commentaries on email us at feedback@thisweekingeek.net or comment on this post. Would love to hear your suggestions.

As always, I remain obediently yours…Toodles!
