Welcome to Pete and Hannah's watch lists and we're presenting the AFI Top 100.
I'm here with my great co-host Hannah.
Sup.
Hannah, we are doing the AFI Top 100 where we watch, re-watch all the 100 movies of the
American Film Industry 10th anniversary.
So that's five times really fast.
And we give our usual reviews and we talk about the film and why it's on the list.
Why are we doing the American Film Institute?
Well it's a curated list of 100 movies so that's cool.
But also it's just, we also love movies and especially American film.
In fact it's everywhere.
And this is basically saying this is what humanity's got to offer.
Like aliens are going to see this, this is our top 100.
And we kind of just want to see are they any worthwhile?
Like are they actually good?
Another thing is like you weren't into movies like heavily until COVID.
Yeah, I would also say the thing is like I have, you know.
A lot of these you haven't seen.
The greats.
Yeah.
This considered great way before my time.
So during COVID when we, everyone was locked down, we started watching television shows
and we started watching movies.
We first started, we watched West Wing.
So you've been indoctrinated into that, which I loved as a kid.
And then now love as an adult watching it every year and now you're all.
And we also started watching, rewatching movies.
And then we started this channel and then we thought, okay, we need something to, let's
go back to what we were doing during COVID and watch a movie every week from an old movie.
And then you picked the top 100 movies from the American Film Institute and the 10th anniversary
revisited, which no one's really talked about much.
They talked about the first job in 1997, but the 2007, how much discourse about it?
I would like to see, like, cause to revisit and update the films on that list is an interesting
thing.
Like it hasn't been updated since.
It probably will eventually.
It definitely will be.
And then not only that, it's the, going through this list, it's very interesting to see like,
again, it's the American Film Institute.
So they choose a lot of American films and stuff.
So it'd be interesting to see later on down the years if they actually add.
Another thing is like, there's a lot of movies that have been added to this list that weren't
new movies.
They were, they found 1930s movies and they added to this.
So it is quite amazing that the list changed so much.
And also it's an update of values too, cause there's like, there's some films on there
that, honestly that I consider classics by just any means, but now it's like, oh yeah,
of course they're important to film, not just as a good film, but as they're an important
part of history.
Well, we're starting with a huge one today.
The hundredth movie on the list of American Film Institute is one of the best movies of
all time.
It's won countless Academy Awards.
It was nominated for 13, won 111.
It's actually a record because there's some wins that Gone With The Wind had that were
just automatically given to them.
This is actually categories that were fought.
And there's also categories in Avatar, Titanic, that weren't actually existed back in when
Ben Hur.
So Ben Hur won categories, a better strike rate basically.
So it's Ben Hur, it's a 1959 remake of the 25 movie.
So basically how we'll do this is we rewatch the movie and then we put the movie into categories
which we'll learn.
We'll add names, funny names to each category.
And then we'll just put it through the usual Pete and Hannah's review show, a ringer with
the elevator pitch, reasons to, reasons not to.
And then we'll talk about where it sits on the list.
And then we'll finally ask the real question that everyone wants to know, would we watch
it again?
And should it be on the list anyway?
From people not part of the film.
Okay so let's start.
It's number 100.
It's Ben Hur 1959.
Had you seen it before?
Nope.
I saw this one when I was a kid.
So it was big on rotation in Australia when Footy, so our footy in Queensland where we're
from is Rugby League.
And so when on Sundays it was huge, they'd play a big biblical movie.
So you'd get either Ben Hur or you'd get 10 Commandments.
You get like a long movie.
So it covers all the day.
It always used to be on Channel 9 for some reason, which is the main station over here.
And it was before the cricket started.
So I think there was three seasons when it came to television in Australia growing up.
There was Rugby League, then there was epic movies, and then it went into cricket.
So that's my three loves of life.
So that's what you chose a little bit about me.
Elevator pitch.
So Ben Hur is betrayed and he seeks revenge through chariot racing.
Now who's Ben Hur?
So he's a Jewish person that's living in Judea under Roman occupation.
The first year of existence.
So one BC.
Yeah.
One, one after Common Era.
Yeah.
After.
So you can mix it with all the after death speed.
Yeah.
Especially because this movie ties in.
Yeah.
It ties in with religious angle.
There's some, some Jesus stuff in here.
So the maker studio was MGM Grant.
So one of your favourite studios.
Well, yeah, they love throwing money in like really big movies.
Well Hannah, when you say that they were going broke at this stage in 1959.
They were in big trouble.
And so they took a big part on this movie.
Now the original budget for this was $7 million.
But that pulled out to $15 million.
Now that doesn't sound like much now, but it quite, it quite into our money.
That's $150 million.
Now for a business that's nearly going broke.
Yeah.
Can you believe that?
I will say MGM have a habit of, you know, putting money into a movie and then the movie
exceeding that limit.
Yeah.
Things like Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz have done that in the past.
So the bet paid off.
It was one of the highest grossing movies of the fifties.
It was just behind Gone with the Wind and Ten Commandments.
If it were equated to today's money, it would have cost $150 million.
Inquited in today's money, it would have made over $1.5 billion.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it hits money back.
$75 million are made.
So it had a huge theatrical run as well.
So back in those days, there was only one or two movies that made it a cinema, especially
in Australia and that played for a year.
So now if a movie like look at Marvel's that came out recently that lasted a couple of
weeks, you know, we're getting movies that last one or two weeks in the cinemas and then
it goes on to a streaming service.
It's harrowing.
But you go back to like a movie like say Back to the Future, right?
Yeah, that was in the same.
That was in cinemas for 18 months and it had a run where it was number one and then six
months later it was number one again.
Like it'll never happen here.
It never happened here.
It wouldn't happen again with movies like that.
No.
So the story behind this movie, it was originally a book written in the 1800s.
It got turned into a movie in 1925.
It was much story when it came out in 1925.
People had been trying to remake it for years and years and years.
The biblical Pixar had been huge hits like Ten Commandments was a huge movie starring
Charles M. Heston.
And so they looked at Lee Wallace's book and it was a spawning epic.
And when they tried to remake it, it was going to be a four hour movie.
So they brought this director on William Wyler.
Now this guy is he makes bangers after bangers.
Roman a Holiday.
Oh, funny girl.
Oh, you know what?
This guy is amazing.
Yeah.
So he also directed Wuthering Heights as well.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
So he did everything great.
He he he he didn't want to do it at the start.
He really didn't want to do it.
Because he was Jewish.
And so this movie is heavily Christianity.
Yes, heavily.
It's like Christianity.
But then he later said that he you know, you bring a Jew on to make a real Christian movie.
So he was he had a little bit of humor about this guy.
But he said he only wanted to do it if it was going to be a three hour movie and not
a four hour movie.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
He also said that he didn't want to skip on budget.
So he said, well, the producer was Steven Zeppeles.
He said, well, it's going to be seven million dollar budget.
He goes, well, I think it's going to need to be more than that.
And so it ended up being 15 million dollars.
Yeah.
He had a lot of choices to for actors and the Judah Ben Her role.
Okay.
So he he ended up going with The Great Child in the Heston who was in The Ten Commandments.
A lot of actors he was he went off to Paul Newman.
Paul Newman.
Paul Newman said, no, I wouldn't look good in a skirt.
Kirk Douglas really wanted this role, but he was too old because he really wanted to
play it because he's Jewish.
Yeah.
He ended up making Spartacus work and he became Spartacus.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's it.
A lot of the other actors.
So the actor that played Ben Her's mom, it was only actually three years older than Charlton
Heston.
And earlier, earlier he she had played a young mom of the baby Moses in The Ten Commandments.
So it's a big turnaround that she's playing the old, the mature lady.
So the reaction of the film at the time, critics went wild for it.
Of course.
It was a huge, highest grossing.
It won heaps of awards.
It was just, it swept the Oscars.
It won best director.
It won best picture.
It won best actor.
It won best supporting actor.
Now that's...
This is where we could argue one of the things that don't make sense in the past.
The role of the sheik was played by a Welsh actor.
Now not the greatest thing you've ever seen, hey.
No.
You could say they're better ideas.
Let's be honest.
There was Blackface.
Yeah.
No.
And it's when you get to these older films, they weren't really looking for people that
looked like the people they're supposed to play.
They just worked around a metaphorical bush and just was like, oh, you know what?
You're pretty good.
Let's just throw something on and have a day.
So I was played by Hugh Griffin and he won the best supporting actor.
He didn't accept it at the Oscars as well.
He played Mutiny.
It was in The Mutiny and The Bounty.
It was How to Steal a Me and he was in heaps of movies.
And he was also in Oliver.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, so he storied actor, won an Oscar, but yeah, he did.
He didn't want to accept it.
Someone accepted on behalf.
Yeah.
William Wallace accepted on his behalf.
Yeah.
It's an interesting choice for best supporting because I feel like there are some other greater
best supporting.
Well, there's another probably better supporting actor in it than I would say the sheik.
He only plays like a really a minor role.
Yeah.
Well, you're talking about the Masala who played Masala who was played by Steven Grubb.
He a lot of people wanted to play that role.
He there was a bit more meat on that bowl.
Do let's talk a little bit more about the movie and we'll come back to that.
We'll come back to the theme that you want to talk about majority of this award.
How I like to enjoy the movie.
Yeah, it's wow.
So Hugh Griffin was up against Arthur Connelly in Anatomy of Murder.
George C. Scott, they probably cross each other out.
Robert Vaughan in The Young Philadelphians who just died recently.
Edwin and Dario the Frank.
So I've seen I've seen the Anatomy of Murder and I've seen Young Philadelphians.
I'll surprise that Hugh Griffin actually won after watching this movie.
Yeah, I think he doesn't he doesn't play in nowadays.
His role one you wouldn't have it because yeah, of course, but his my he doesn't really
add anything to this like to the plot.
It doesn't mean I wouldn't say he he does a good job acting but I wouldn't say he's
you know, putting on a performance that supports I guess the main actor in it anyway.
So we're not a huge fan of like sites of critics and stuff like that.
So we as people who have watched our show before we don't really give like a score we
give like a sort of funny rating and sort of like we're not like and we like to also
showcase what we liked and what we disliked about it.
Yeah, because we we know there's things to like about it even if it's you know, considered
film lovers not film critics.
So so just to go through some of the metrics, it's 85% of Rotten Tomatoes was 8.1 on IMDB.
Like yeah for that for what it is.
That's high that's high praise, you know, so yeah, especially a movie to you know, it's
been a long time to still gonna praise even to this day.
Does it does it does it deserve a price?
Does it deserve all the price it got?
Now I think at the time, everything about it is so amazingly well done.
At the time.
Yeah, definitely when you look at it now compared to some you look on it and some of the sets
you're like that looks like a set or they had to recently they retouched they did a
remaster not long ago and so everything's got a little bit you know, sometimes the siege
they like drawn pipe drops and they just added some textures and stuff and I'll give you
a little bit of background.
So the battle scenes were filmed but with miniatures which is the job of the time.
I miniatures when miniatures are used I think that when they're done really well, you'll
never notice that and it's brilliant.
Well Oppenheimer recently yes, Nolan is a huge lover of his he did it with the dark
knight trilogy like any like when you see behind the scenes Batman begins like the whole
train thing was miniatures like that's incredible.
So they tried to film in Libya but when they found out this movie was about Judaism and
Christianity not a thing.
So they started filming in 1957 it was a long shoot nearly six months.
The chariot scene the famous chariot scene was six weeks alone.
Horses died no one died as in people.
Oh no one died?
Yeah it was near fatal but no one died.
But horses did.
So animals were harmed during the making of this film which deserves to be said in a taste
of time but that chariot scene alone and like you could even though again horrifying it
is a impressive thing they were able to achieve even though we could definitely argue that
sometimes those laps were long and sometimes they were very short for some reason.
So yeah he so what he did was William Wilder he did one big crane shot of when they came
at the start now that wasn't from the book and that wasn't historical when they came
in all together like that the chariot as they all came in but he wanted to do that for a
reason to give it scope because most of the shots were really close when you're going
around corners.
No yeah this I think some of the really like unique shots he likes to do he really wanted
to scale this movie that's the whole.
So filmed in Rome Spain like it just goes to show like they were filming back into locations
back then why can't we do it now?
I know right even when some of them look a little bit off.
Yeah the sets weren't like the sets probably were great for back then but they weren't
great.
But he definitely like there were shots in Rome where like you when you go to Rome and
it really he likes to draw you out like yeah as it almost has this moment where he where
Judo has saved someone's life and they're accepting something and it's almost like this
is like that Star Wars moment when they accept the medals like it harkens.
A lot of directors have seen this movie and I wouldn't be surprised.
On Letterboxx like it's a lot of famous actors and famous directors favorite movie.
Yeah because it's just it is a pretty epic scaled movie that yeah I think.
Do you want to go into our usual review?
Yeah I think let's start with that because I'm ready to talk about.
Reasons to see him.
Reasons to see it it's pretty epically well done this movie.
In a sense that it's amazing it's like a really great idea of using revenge and faith in
one movie which is you know never really like faith and revenge don't really go hand in
hand with each other but in this movie it's a big part.
Yeah he's learning a lesson through it.
He's a lot yeah he's learning a lesson it's an interesting tale about it and.
Well he starts off as like a huge big deal.
Yeah he's like a.
And then he gets wrong for something he didn't commit.
Yeah and he gets punished and then he comes back to try and take punishment onto the person
that punished him.
Yeah he's seeking revenge he just wants.
And then he sees a lot.
He has to go through so many like different trials and stuff and there it's an epic scale
and scope.
Talk about the real reason you think to watch this.
Okay so Charles Heston has great chemistry with anything he's on screen with.
For some reason he's got chemistry with the horses he's got chemistry he just like immediately
when he likes a woman he's just sizing her up and you're like wow this guy is already
on.
But um um what's his name?
Steven Borde.
Steven.
Massella.
He's the villain but originally these two were friends.
And the moment they meet they're like bonding they're in love with each other.
So I'll give you a great story behind the scenes.
And so this was rewritten to make it a little bit shorter by Gourvardel.
And Gourvardel noted Rochonter.
He's told the Stephen Borde character to play it homo erotica because he was he was he said
he was a childhood friend he would have been um kicked back by Charlton Heston was a little
bit more popular.
That's the reason why he saved his life as a child.
And you need to play it like this and Charlton Heston had no idea why he was playing it like
that.
Now so why you picked up on that thing that this is well known.
Now you know that there's fan fiction out there.
Yeah I literally wanted to look it up.
It's small but it's there and I bet I could find more of a.
It's a great reason to see but he didn't just have chemistry with Stephen Boyd and Marcella.
He had he had chemistry with the horses.
There's these four white horses that he deals with.
He like lovingly pats and he's like hey and they're like they're like these horses are
like nipping at him and stuff and he's just like hey you know.
He has more chemistry with Marcella and the horses than he does any woman in this movie.
Yeah I would say but he like size them up to start and then eventually he's just like
yeah but I'm in love with my horses.
But the fact that Stephen Boyd was told to play it like that.
I yeah I was so enthralled because they were they were tight and then once they he used
him as a basically just you know to condemn him.
It was like an interesting it added so much tension to this plot.
I was just like enthralled with what was going to happen next.
Reasons not to look I think the start of the movie is a bit slow.
Then when you get into the battle on the boats amazing.
Boats.
The rowing there's like 10 minutes of just rowing.
There's so many moments where he's just doing one action simply and it's just many different
shots.
Was Channels just trying to get in shape?
Yeah I was like I was like he's trying to show off here.
It's actually great it's entertaining.
The fact is I'm on the edge I'm like really enthralled.
I'm like what is gonna happen here.
I would say yeah and then the last 30 minutes.
He was like in his 30s when he made this movie.
I think he was just trying to get in shape.
Like he knew he was gonna have to play an astronaut on a planet of eight so he needed
to get in shape.
You know even though it was eight years later.
What a career Charlton Heston had.
Like Ten Commandments he had this.
He had a Planet of the Apes.
Like he had the Ometa strain.
Like he had the movie with Citizen Kane director Orson Welles Touch of Evil.
Just amazing.
What an absolute banging career and then he finished it with being the head of the NRA.
No political talk here.
Another reason not to see it.
Like it builds everything up to the chariot scene.
So they talk about the chariot scene when he's in Rome.
Like he's like a great chariot racer.
And they tease their absolute hell out of it.
I'd say that yes.
Which by the way.
Because in the trailer you see the chariot scene in the trailer.
I would also say so it's presumed.
Could we fast forward once he gets to Rome it cuts to a couple like months ahead.
And he's apparently been like.
He's killing it.
He's the best driver in the world.
Yeah.
He's the Lewis Hamilton Max Verstappen of chariot racing.
If you put this movie in the 80s we would have gotten like a 20 minute montage of him
learning the ropes.
Not the 80s now.
We would have got 100%.
There is a little bit with the horses when he's trying to train to take on.
Yeah.
No.
But I meant a full long one.
I would say it's building up to that chariot race because it's also the moment where he
claims his vengeance.
Do you know the underrated thing is the scene where.
The scene where they're putting the bet on.
Yeah.
Hugh Griffith trying to draw Masala out and trying to.
Probably this is where he got his escape from.
So you had that bet that he was having in today's terms with the four to one odds of
the thousand scarabs.
Yeah.
That would have been worth eight billion gold.
Eight billion gold.
That's ridiculous.
Eight billion gold.
Can you believe that?
That's why they.
Which makes a lot of sense why they were so shocked.
Now spoiler alert here for those who haven't seen the movie.
Yeah.
Well, you've got to spoil it.
OK.
Well, Masala dies in the chariot race.
Yeah.
Well, not in the chariot race.
Well, he dies because of the chariot race.
Does he pay up?
I don't think he did.
Where's that eight billion dollars worth of gold?
I don't think anyone cares.
I would.
I love all these little factoids about this movie.
I think it's interesting because it has been a long time and people just pick up different
things.
Again, I think a lot of people get recommended this movie because of, you know, just film
critics and everything.
And so different people who watch movies for different reasons will pick up completely
nonsensical things like me going those two should get together.
Bound to the bow.
Wow.
Yes.
A lot of people picked up on it.
The only one that didn't pick up on it was Charlton Heston.
But he was like, hmm.
What's happening there?
So the real reason not to is like once a chariot scene is done, it's just such a life deal.
It's 30 to 40 minutes of just, of about, it's purely about the Christianity.
It's purely about the faith.
Yeah.
Purely about like we're watching, you watch, you watch Jesus get put to the cross.
Not to put it back to it.
Not to keep putting it back to a recent movie about Oppenheimer.
When you had the Trinity test, you still got Emily Blunt cooking.
I would still got Robert Downey Jr cooking like this.
It was very slow burn.
I would argue that we spent way too much time in a leprechaunal any that I, you know, like
Oppenheimer, I would go that that last hour is more entertaining than me watching the
Trinity test.
Like, like we're our background is Christianity.
So we sort of know the story.
But for those who aren't probably, probably don't really, it's not one of the real things
to sell the movie on is it?
If your knowledge of, of is from Simpsons, then you've learned all you needed to.
Let's talk about, so that's one of the reasons not to see it.
So one of the reasons not to see is.
Spoke some Christianity.
Yeah.
It's aged poorly with some of the moments.
Just like if you go into the history of the movie or something, I would also go just reasons
not to.
Actually, yeah.
Reasons not to it is long and if you don't love movies about faith and vengeance, having
a parent like, you know, connecting too much.
Yeah.
And yeah, the leprechaunal is like, yeah, like it is just ridiculous.
It is insane.
So you talked about the Simpsons.
Go a little bit more into that.
I would go.
So Ben Hurd's definitely infected pop culture.
Like you can't argue it.
It hasn't.
You know, directors and actors and everyone loves it.
But the Simpsons for me, that's where I'm like, that's all I knew.
Like I knew Ben Hurd from.
Knew like a lot of like things that popped up.
Yeah.
And there was, there's just a moment I thought that would happen where Jesus gives Ben Hurd
some water to drink.
And in the Simpsons, there's a lovely episode called and where Simpsons, the Springfield
is hosting like a short film festival and Mr. Burns hires a Spanish knockoff of Stephen
Spielberg, Senor Spielberg, and makes himself out to be Jesus and he gives childless Ben
Hurd, drink up Judah, Ben Hurd.
And say it.
And Burns, you are truly the king of kings.
You truly are the king of kings.
We were saying that in the entire film.
I almost felt like everyone was going to say it at one point and I realised and then it
comes to a realisation, oh no, that was made up to insinuate that's Ben Hurd.
So the movie was remade as well in 2016 and it was not.
I don't think anyone's liked the remake.
And it was like way too short and yeah.
I wouldn't suspect anyone because I think for the movie, at its time, it's a piece of
history for its time.
And also it is like an artwork, whereas when you try to recreate it and just, you know,
try to chop it into pieces and make it flushed out and new, people don't, there's no creativity
there.
You know, this one, this movie has identity to itself.
Is it too crass to say should you watch or should you miss Ben Hurd?
I would, I don't know.
It is a pretty long movie and if you don't like these themes, I would give it a miss.
So this AFI top 100 list, when it steals down to it, I've seen most of these movies, probably
a handful I haven't seen.
And every question is going to go back to you.
Should you watch or miss?
You're the new generation.
I personally would, I've watched this.
Like if this was on TV, I would sit down and watch it.
But I know for a fact, a general audience of anyone in my demographic would be like
miss.
Unless you're a film junkie, they do not care.
It's hard to say so early, but does it deserve to be on this list?
Does it deserve to be?
I mean, it's really hard to say because you know, there's so many.
What about for the Oscars alone?
I could totally lose it.
100%.
There are some Oscars, if you go through Oscar history, there are some Oscars of undeserving,
incredible.
This was up against some good movies like Dio, Van Franky is a great movie.
Young Philadelphians is a great movie.
And Anatomy of a Murder is a great movie.
No, but I'm talking about previous ones.
Like why did Gigi, that's about seducing young girls.
That one is Oscar.
That's a take.
It's not a take, it's the whole movie.
It's not a take.
It's not a take, it's the whole movie.
Doesn't deserve to be higher.
So before you say doesn't deserve to be higher, in the original list, it was 28 places higher.
Oh, interesting.
And it got dropped down to 100.
I can see why it's in 100.
I could see 100% why it's here on the end.
Yeah.
Because one, it's like the start of like, oh, look, you know, this is where we start.
I think for any director, they'll probably put this in their top 10 or top 20.
Yeah.
But in reality, to films nowadays, we've evolved a lot more from just like, you know, just
nice, you know, pretty shots of chariot races.
Hannah, would you buy this on Blu-ray?
Now it's not available on any streaming services.
We rented this on Apple TV.
Would you buy it on Blu-ray?
Would you have physical media?
Would I have physical?
I think so because I appreciate having, especially older films, I appreciate having them on physical
media.
But I have, I collect a lot of older films, especially ones that no one's heard of.
And they will, they, some of them go out of print.
Like I have the last print of something because it's, it's, it's not going to exist anymore.
So the two things that will end every podcast with is would you watch this again?
And what is the rating for Ben Her?
Would I watch this again?
I watch most of the movie and I wouldn't watch the whole movie again.
I would probably, chariot scene and then the Marcella scene.
Like then I'd be calling it a miss.
And rating for this movie?
I would, I would say give it a, a golf clap.
I think it's just, it's definitely what it's trying to achieve.
This movie does incredibly well.
And that's what I, when we look at these movies, I like to look at what the movie is trying
to achieve rather than say put it up against, like I'm not going to put this movie up against
speed racer because I have a deep appreciation and love for speed racer and it's an incredible
film.
If I keep bringing up Pop and Hymen and you keep bringing up speed racer, this is going
to be a long podcast.
I'm not going to bring up John Wick because John Wick is a completely, well, Vengeance
does play a role in John Wick as well.
Hannah, that was a really enjoyable conversation that we've had about Ben Her.
I really appreciate it.
And John Wick, the similarities, Vengeance plays a different role.
What's next on the watch list?
So tomorrow on Wednesday we'll drop What's Next, a show where we like to figure out what
to watch next.
And we'll be reviewing Napoleon, Cat Person and Royal Hotel.
And then later the week it's Movie News and we're looking forward to the Australian release
of Bottoms.
Yes.
Oh, so excited.
I've been wanting to watch this for such a long time.
You can also catch Kenny Gets A Movie, also our Blockbuster Showdown where we fight to
the death of movie knowledge.
Next week, What's Next Week on the AFI Top 100 Podcast.
So it's number 99.
And for those playing along at home, you can watch beforehand because it's on Disney Plus.
And we also have a physical copy of this one.
It is Toy Story.
And absolutely classic.
This is why I think they updated it because movies like this definitely needed to be...
We'll go into it next week.
We'll talk a lot more about Toy Story, but thanks for everyone for listening today.
Such a different Toy Story than her.
And this is what the joy of the AFI Top 100.
So much.
For those listening for the first time, thanks for listening.
And for those watching on our usual channels, we really appreciate all the support.
I hope you catch up with the Ridley Scott draft.
That was great to have Danny there.
Voting convinces tomorrow.
Hopefully you vote for me or Hannah.
We do not want to hear it.
Yeah.
He kind of cheated and didn't watch.
Well, you come in and you start the podcast by saying, is Ridley Scott overrated?
I just want to kick him out.
And then he said, Black Hawk Down.
It's fine.
Yeah.
And then he gave nothing.
He gave absolutely nothing.
We then went into like all the British white boys in that and then he was like, yeah, it's
fine.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
So you do...
If you vote for Danny, it's a vote for mediocrity.
Yeah.
You're just choosing, yeah, I like those movies.
Of course you do.
Everyone does.
Let's like just be...
Go for the interesting ones.
Well, that's my lovely co-host, Hannah.

It's bye for now.
Bye.
