I don’t have a guess for the movie yet (although the “Ha! Ha! Ha!” for the TV feels very familiar)
However, I just wanted to say… if you see Signs, temper your expectations. I enjoyed the movie when I first saw it, but within a few days of seeing it and actually thinking about it, I switched my opinion to “holy crap, that was stupid”.
Hmm, some movie with a teenage Benedict Cumberbatch…

80 - Please someone guess this one. I’m tired of winning. I’m so tired of winning it’s almost Trumpian
Edit: This is the last frame excluding credits
Oh, uh, one of the Purges! Purge: Election?
-Tom
No Purge movie but can we all agree that some of those were awesome? I mean except for the first one and the third one and that one in between…
Ugh, I totally know these actors. Can’t put name to face though.
Okay fine. Jessica Hecht and Frank Grillo. I love them both so I’m gonna guess My Soul to Take?
And that one Purge movie was really good. The one with the car with all the armor on it and the truck with the huge gun in the trailer.

OMG thank you, Dear Dingus! It is indeed My Soul to Take, a more pleasant than not Wes Craven joint. Into thy hands I commend the next frame
See, but the thing is, Dingus hasn’t even seen Soul to Take and I have. I think. Someone is, like, an exorcist in it or something?
-Tom
Ach, yes…Jessica Hecht. Ross’s ex-wife’s lesbian lover on Friends. That’s been bothering me all afternoon.
The Jerk?
-Tom
Not a bad guess, actually. But no.

Looks like James Brown’s church in The Blues Brothers ?
Indeed it is, matttutor! You see the light!
I chose this one for what are hopefully obvious reasons.
The forty:
This frame happens just after the forty:
sixty-one (four whole fried chickens, and a coke):
The eighty-whatever:
The one-hundred (dang I love this frame):
The one-twenty:
This frame comes just after the one-twenty:
On the podcast this week we discussed musicals at length. As I watched this for the frames, I was kicking myself for not bringing up this movie. It’s really a great example of a musical that works for people who may not like conventional musicals. Those first notes Ray Charles keys in his number…man, I can watch him do that over and over again. To say nothing of watching Aretha Franklin’s number. I so love this movie.
You have the conch, @matttutor!

“Uh excuse me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the action on this piana…”
…
Two more bonus frames, just because…
Purple Rose of Cairo?
