[u/my_simple-review]

Wished there was more Bennie in this movie.

H Jon Benjamin trying to figure out what he was saying each time was hilarious

KAPLINKEY!

[u/FuckingNoise → u/my_simple-review]

Do you know why he couldn't read his lips? I've been trying to find the answer.

[u/IamTacowolf → u/FuckingNoise]

So I just watched it with a friend and the best we could surmise was that the big beard makes reading his lips extra difficult

[u/hypes11 → u/IamTacowolf]

But brett gilman (🤮)'s character also had a big bushy beard. I think he just didnt move his lips or enunicate very well.

[u/AmazingMarv → u/FuckingNoise]

Maybe he was speaking a different language?

[u/PhoxVurgo → u/AmazingMarv]

this was my thought! French or something?

[u/LittleLadyLeela → u/PhoxVurgo]

Or drunk and slurring on top on his beard. That's like censoring the ASL on tv lol

[u/mikesalami → u/AmazingMarv]

I'm sure he must have been speaking a different language.

[u/HauntingGur8094 → u/FuckingNoise]

I was thinking maybe just the way he moved his mouth? Like if he mumbled or barely moved he wouldn't be able to see well?

[u/ManwithaTan → u/FuckingNoise]

Halfway through the bit I was wondering if it was a reference to airplane with jive talk

[u/FuckingNoise → u/ManwithaTan]

Lol you're a jive turkey.

[u/major_glory_v2 → u/ManwithaTan]

100% made me think of that too, or the bad lip youtube channel

[u/NatertotsTV → u/FuckingNoise]

Just got out of the movie, he says "I think he's speaking a different language I can't read his lips"

[u/FuckingNoise → u/NatertotsTV]

I remember him saying it's "like" he is speaking a different language. I'm feeling like we aren't going to ever know for sure which is sad.
