The watch-alonglive commentary over the full film
Sean and Amanda walk first-timer Chris through all 197 minutes. He warms to the action stretches and to Payakan the tulkun; the rest of the runtime drifts to yogurt, Lane Kiffin, and who would help bury a body. Sean's case: the film only works in 3D, so watching it flat on a TV undersells it.
