Hey guys, I hope you're all having a great New Years. Just wanted to announce that until further notice, all FCE Podcast episodes will be published on the main channel!
Just happy you are still doing em my friends have a good new years 🎉
You do you mate, soon you’ll be at 1M and we can all celebrate together 🎉🎉🎉
I'm genuinely grateful for that decision; I knew of the podcast but because I never checked it out because "podcast." Having seen what the podcast is, I'm definitely down for more.
It does help that it was one of my top-5 favourite films, obviously.
Any chance at the podcast being uploaded on Spotify?
This was so cool to watch with you guys! The Riddick series is amazing, one of my favourites, I played the games too! So it was great to see you all appreciate the series, and the extra insights you gave too; so awesome that you knew one of the actors Niyat! Looking forward to the next films!
Pitch Black is one of those movies I'm always down to talk about
Did you know they originally didn't plan to make it into a franchise but since this movie got so popular they decided to make it into a franchise
This was the first RUclips video that I watched of 2024. So far I have no regrets. This is one of my favorite movies from my early adolescence. It's never too late to cover a classic and thank you guys for doing just that. And I particularly like that one of you had never watched the film before. So welcome to the world of Riddick my friend.
Same lol first video for the new year
First saw this movie at a friend's house when I was about 12. After it was over I had to walk home, in the dark, around 11 at night. Never ran so fast in my life. Love this movie though!
you would have been ok........ if there were street lights lol
I'm so glad that you guys watched this movie, it's one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm glad you guys really seemed to enjoy it. The newest Riddick movie is kind of similar to this one (not as good) and you might enjoy it.
12:08 Riddick did that 5 minutes ago LOL had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂
I watched Pitch Black when it first hit theaters, I remember sitting there and when the eclipse happened the theater turned off all the lights completely even the running lights along the walkways.
Vin Diesel is often cast as the good hearted criminal actually, same as in XXX, Fast & Furious franchise, Babylon AD, but for some reason it seems like he's never allowed to be as savage as he is in the Riddick Franchise. None of those other characters have nearly the same lethality about them, then again Riddick WAS a murderer after all, a straight up ROGUE.
This was an absolute treat. I didn’t think I’d be sitting on new years watching people watch one of my favorite movies. The commentary was priceless. Thank you Niyat and crew!
In the extended cut with extra dialogue, it explains the drug addiction is the result of Riddick having stabbed him in the back and taking out a nerve cluster that leaves him in severe pain… and it is why in the later movies Riddick mentions which ribs in the back you need to stab, and how it was a “mistake he made only once”. He literally needs them to even function, and reveals that his own prescription supply was lost in the crash. He blames Riddick for the state he is in, and thinks by bringing in Riddick alive will finally give him resolution and the money to get the surgery he needs to fix it… however, the drug he takes from the medkit messes with him a bit since it is not meant to be taken at the dose he uses. The original (pre-theater) cut leaves you more sympathetic for him, and makes his degradation more tragic leading up to his end.
I really love this format! Being able to watch the movie while you guys talk, instead of having to load up / sync the movie myself. Please do more!
I FUCKING LOVE the Riddick series❤❤❤ when other ppl think of Vin Diesel they think of Dom Toretto, I think of RIDDICK🔥 a perfect anti hero
This is still one of my fav movies. The Riddick films are like Dark City where the darkness is literally the best written character. If y'all love this, please make sure to include Dark Fury and Escape from Butchers Bay in your Riddick lineup.
I spent an entire summer with my father and an older brother of mine binge-watching pitch black almost every single day. We would watch at least once in the afternoon completely and then start to watch it again. Once we hit the halfway point and my dad had to go to work. We wouldn't watch it again until he got home and then finish it. Probably one of my favorite movies and 1 of the funner summers. I can remember from my younger years.
This was fun. Pitch Black is such a great watch. I'm glad others appreciate it as much as I do. A classic for me for sure
Such a fun movie. Kinda reminded me of aliens in a way.
3:19
Hear me out…what if Dominic Toretto from Fast n’ Furious is a descendant of Riddick
It’s all connected, it’s all Family 😂
23:30 I didn’t remember Pitch Black being this funny but man the bit of humor they do get in is super nice and actually humanizes Riddick a lot more despite the time when he’s serious and utilizing his Furyan heritage.
lol
I totally forgot Claudia Black was in Pitch Black.
Loved her in Farscape and then in SG-1!
We watching Pitch Black? Just finishing Lotr 3. What perfect timing.
In Alien Vs Predator there is a cool scene at the end in which the Predator appears in mid air and sticks the alien queen in the head with his spear. That scene is fantastic. This film has a similar scene in which Riddick guts an alien, stands up and says "Did not know who it's f**king with." Now that is ridiculously cool.
By the way, the merc didn't steal the meds from the back, they fell off with the rest of the ship. His drugs were hidden in his gear. The problem for Fry was that he had that substance handy and still let her crewmate, who had saved all their lives even if they didn't know it, die in such pain. This movie is a wonderful collection of characters, all well written, none of them perfect, and such a wonderful payoff. Thanks for reviewing it, loved this!
I was legit jus listening to this earlier and was wondering when yall were gonna put out a new episode on that channel! 😁 Thanks for the update! Look forward to new podcast episodes! 🖤
Absolutely love this, happy you guys are watching one of my favorite movies. Y'all definitely need to watch the next two together for the pod. Even though I saw Vin in the first Fast and Furious before watching this film, I prefer him as Riddick. Hope we get a couple of more films in this universe, at the very least. Happy New Year, guys!
He says “the primitive side, the animal side…I guess that’s why I’m still awake” such a good line
One of my fav movies of all time
Also just wanted to say I love this long-format commentary collab
Would love to see a few of these with other film critics!
I had my own commentary along with the watch and I have to say I really enjoy hearin your more unscripted comments. I had no idea this was filmed in Australia and the fact that your acting teacher was in this is a sick easter egg
Overall this smaller contained story of Riddicks worked a lot better than CoR but I enjoyed the larger picture CoR tried tell with the prophecy of the Furyan race.
If anything this contained story really let’s us in that Riddick is a merc with a code and everyone else around him, while somewhat good, has their own agenda.
Also felt the comedy was nicely placed for a movie of this era in entertainment. Special effects were on point and good for the atmosphere, monster were intriguing but not fully focused on. Used in just the right way where you learned enough about them to make them a threat.
Like we get a taste of the lore of Riddicks world but it a nice decent taste that one could be satisfied by or possibly want more.
I do wish we had a prequel to even this movie or a show based on him. Maybe in the future.
There’s so much more I could say but I am a big fan of this movie and other contained sci-fi films like it.
If anything I feel like the universe of Riddick could somewhat rival Dune if truly expanded upon in a responsible way
Other than that, Happy New Years F.C.E!! Can’t wait to see what you do next mate 😊
A lot of people don’t know that there is a movie that was set in between pitch black and chronicles that was called “dark fury” but it was an anime version and it’s AWESOME
First time catching any of the videos this early love the videos man
Great video Can you do Zilla,Giant Octopus,Maguma,Manda,Baragon,Gargantuas,Gezora,Ganimes,Kamoebas,Varan and Megaguirus/Meganulon from Toho,Hearts of Iron 4 and Downfall
So glad you are covering this. one of my favourites of all time and I'm sure a lot of other sci-fi heads feel the same. Riddick was such a badass character
This was so much fun! Thanks guys!
Loved every moment of this
I loved this movie when it came out ! This was one of the last few ORIGINAL MOVIES to come out in the last 25+ YEARS that wasn’t a REBOOT OR CARBON COPY of other movies that had come before, The fact it spawned 3 more sequels and 1 animated movie between 2&3 is absolutely awesome!! I’ve also put RIDDICK IN AS MY BID AS A DLC CHARACTER FOR MORTAL KOMBAT 1 !!!
first one I’ve seen and certainly enjoyed this
Thanks for the Video 😀
Happy and a HEALTHY New Year !!!
Lol I love the episode especially the commentary keep it up
Well timed upload! 🔥
I suggest videos on:
Rey Skywalker
The Man With No Name
Boba Fett
Magneto
Professor X
Farscape
Stargate SG-1
Achilles
Water world
I've always loved the opening of this movie . The Hunter Gratzner looks absolutely gorgeous.
Loved this. Thanks for including imagery and clips to guide the discussion. Some commentaries I’ve watched are just a single screen and it’s meh. Yours was great. And your joy and interest are apparent.
I loved this and I hope you guys do this for more movies I already love your channel and I'm glad to see further content
Love this series such a classic
I really enjoyed this format, I hope to see more in the future.
One of my favorite movies.
nice seeing a long review of this movie with Niyat, like history in the making lol
I love this film so much ❤ Thank you for re-visiting it and the commentary 😊
This was great! First time to see a podcast movie watch review. I love Pitch Black! Such a great movie that didn’t get the accolades it deserved back in the day. Looking forward to the next one!
this was a good idea ,more of stuff like this
yes. more please.
I haven't seen a comment about it but so I wanted to make sure that it was brought up that there is actually an animated film that came out before The Chronicles of Riddick which kind of gave a back story as to what happened right after they left that hell hole, called The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury.
LETS GO, clicked so fast
More of this!!! ❤
Try to watch this at least once a year since it came out
Wow I love these commentary videos, should really do more of them!
Awesome video!
i love this style of video, keep up it brother
First time for me listening to a podcast from Niyat and friends.
Happy near year
God i love this franchise even the video games are amazing i love how escape from bucherbay show us how riddick gets his eyeshine
Loved your guy’s commentary of the movie, please review the other movies in the series, would be awesome
I saw a video of vin diesel in his early 20s teaching break dancing. And it is just how it sounds.
I thought 2004 Riddick was cool to.
Awesome thanks!
Even with fresh food crickets will eat each other in captivity.
I saw this movie in theaters twice. It’s one of my favorites
I love Pitch Black...
happy new year🎉
fun watch. I hope you do the sequels soon
This is a fukin masterpiece.
good movie
Hello, Happy New Year 🕛🎊🎉😊
Happy New Year!!
With the feeding. I always interpreted it as a dormancy. When the sun is out they’re basically asleep. Only moving when disturbed. Like when she enters the cave, she doesn’t get swarmed.
Then the sun goes away and they swarm like locusts. Feeding until only a few survive, those few breed, then dormancy until the sun goes away.
Great movie
Next part, you need to watch is dark fury before you watch the Chronicles of Riddick.
this is a decent movie. Note: it actually has a female lead, and she is not too bright. she makes more than a few mistakes, that may have cost the odd (other person) their lives.
with a female lead, riddick being a supporting character, this movie is whoa-ken but does not get much notice for being whoa-ken. it is a decent whoa-ken movie.
thanks for the drop. God Bless
The misfire is John's shotgun was cause he loaded one of his morphine rounds
This movie is just awsome. I love good movie creature design.
Your channel introduced me to alot of cool stuff.
Nowdays we dont get stuff like this.
This movie is so riveting. It's crazy how different the universes of this and the second film are even though they are technically the same. This movie is so grounded and the next is just nth-degree space opera - still dark, but so very operatic.
i wish to live in a timeline where fast and furious failed and we got 10 riddick movies
I always wondered why the actor that played Ali looked so familiar until one day it clicked for me that he was the Red Mystic Power Ranger
one of the best if not for Vin!
It’s been a while since I watched this channel but it’s a classic. I hope this becomes a mainstay of the channel but performance metrics need to be high enough to justify it.
I hope you guys do the sequels too
I really liked this film, cheesy as the dialogue was. Riddick is at peak badass one-liner delivery here. Love the look of the aliens and the great sense of suspense and tension. The planet itself and its life forms makes no sense of course - no vegetation to produce oxygen or be the base of a food chain, no ecosystems or prey of any kind, just a massive population of huge predators that are nocturnal and eyeless for no reason since they have no predators. Doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it is a lot of fun.
I absolutely loved Pitch Black, such a wonderfully tight little film. I found the sequel horribly flabby by comparison. I remember Vin Diesel in saving private Ryan, such a great break out role.
Honestly, FIRST Scifi film my whole family got into, we literally watched this AND 13th Warrior in theaters MULTIPLE times
Ok i will start with saw it in cinemas ,so been a fan from the moment John Moore "Zeke" said "what the bloody hell happened and Crikey" , bingo this is an Aussie flick, I even have The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury anime and i was an extra on either "The Great Raid" or 'X-men origins: Wolverine" and one of the crew had a Pitch Black crew T-shirt so had to ask what it was like on set and he told me COLD like freezing out in the desert. Anyway safe travels and keep up the great work.
16:39
Some big Chad energy up there, and its not the sun.
Dominic torreto.....Jesus lol and man I wish they would have seen the scifi channel teaser for pitch black..and he also wrote a movie back in the day it was shot in black and white and he plays a bouncer
Please do this commentary video for Dark Fury
To entertain myself I'm imagineing that Niyat is "Dutch", Prestion is "Godzilla" and Andrea is "Gypsy danger" all wacthing "pitch black" at an outdoor cardirve-in movie theatre.
You should watch all three
originally i passed over this movie till it came out for home viewing im a major scifi and fantasy buff and just thought it cant be that good.. im glad i was slapped in the face how defining this movie was granted its a creature feature, the character development is just par
when are you going to do more zombie and virus stuff? i miss that content alot, hope you have a great new years man😁
Please do 28 days/weeks next 🎉
can you do one for starship troopers?
This is a great movie and I remember seeing it not long after it came out but there is always one thing that's bugged me. I like the character Jack, but I was never convinced she was a boy; and I'm always surprised when other people don't notice. It's not a flaw or anything, just an observation.
I wish there was another Riddick movie where he finds his home world. The character deserves some closure.
I still say tokyo drift is the purest fast and furious, all cars.
Just watched this with my mom the other day. Still a fave. Wish johns would’ve found out his son was really a b***h in the new one lol
See in the Dark raptors!
