00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160
Hey, hey, hey, it's Chaos Queen here, and you're

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.660
listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. Hey,

00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.199
it's Mistress Carrie, and you are listening to

00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:26.460
Studio 2009. There is nothing wrong with your

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:28.519
podcast player. Do not attempt to adjust the

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.460
volume. Hello and welcome back into our studio.

00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:35.119
You're now inside Studio 2009, only on the Geekcast

00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.479
Radio Network. I am, of course, TSU and Mike,

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:42.060
and for the first time ever, it is Media Mayhem!

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.700
It's gonna be like the sands of the hourglass.

00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:48.859
These are the decades of our lives. Today, I

00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:51.939
welcome that good old detective in TV and film.

00:00:52.539 --> 00:00:56.380
It's David Draper. Hello, sir. How are you? I'm

00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:57.799
doing all right. Can't complain. How are you?

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:01.399
I'm doing alright. This is all his fault, folks.

00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:08.280
Sure. Okay, so to give the backstory, I saw a

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.799
YouTube video of some 25 -year -old going, you

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.359
know, these are my favorite movies from every

00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.739
year that I've been alive. And I was like, that's

00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:20.659
kind of an interesting concept. And I have like

00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:24.700
twice as many years worth of content to, you

00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:27.719
know. I just randomly made up a list. Not randomly,

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:30.219
but I made up the list. Also, a big chunk of

00:01:30.219 --> 00:01:32.519
it was the 80s, which is when the best movies

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.920
ever made were made. And shots fired every other

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.480
decade. But I think I can back that up, frankly.

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.019
And I posted it on Facebook just for people to

00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:46.099
talk about. Of course, immediately people were

00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:49.120
like, how come you didn't pick my movie? How

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.939
come you didn't pick this movie that I like?

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:53.219
And it's like, well, it's not your list. I mean,

00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.030
it's my list. To me, there were interesting things

00:01:57.030 --> 00:02:00.629
about going through the process. Some years were

00:02:00.629 --> 00:02:07.170
obvious. 75, 77, 89. But then there were other

00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:10.150
years that were like... I've talked about how

00:02:10.150 --> 00:02:15.310
1984, Ghostbusters was my fourth choice for 1984.

00:02:16.490 --> 00:02:20.330
When I said that the 80s were the best, there

00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:22.409
was a year where Ghostbusters was my fourth choice.

00:02:23.889 --> 00:02:28.389
Ghostbusters. There were three movies I liked

00:02:28.389 --> 00:02:31.629
better than Ghostbusters that year. It's mind

00:02:31.629 --> 00:02:38.050
-blowing to me. Also, later on, I started to

00:02:38.050 --> 00:02:41.330
hit... There was a point in my life where I really

00:02:41.330 --> 00:02:44.830
didn't see a lot of movies. Some of the movies

00:02:44.830 --> 00:02:47.330
were like, okay, well, I saw this one. I guess

00:02:47.330 --> 00:02:52.939
it's my favorite. I mean, I saw it. Right. I

00:02:52.939 --> 00:02:55.639
know we established rules for this whole thing.

00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:59.800
I have the rules. Yep, I have the rules. It's

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.240
in the script every time. I know you have the

00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:08.819
script. Well, so folks, this is our new thing.

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.039
This is outside of GCRN Origins, but it kind

00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.860
of acts like a GCRN Origins, but because this

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:23.680
is a choice thing. This is not an origin. This

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.879
is a... These are the films that I... It's media

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.199
mayhem! Yeah, it's media mayhem. It's, you know,

00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.400
it's this, it's that, it's whatever. And the

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.539
rules that Dave wrote out are as follows. Rule

00:03:38.539 --> 00:03:43.639
101! These lists are inherently subjective. They

00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.340
are not the quote -unquote best films of each

00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:49.800
year, but our quote -unquote favorites. And therefore,

00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:53.280
no choice can be quote -unquote wrong. Quiet

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.460
eye -rolling is, however, allowed. See, I thought

00:03:56.460 --> 00:03:59.240
we were going to be going back and forth. And

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.159
as we know, I tend to be a little judgmental.

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.900
So I was like, okay, I put that rule in for me

00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:06.759
so that I didn't give you a hard time if you

00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.879
picked a movie. No, if you picked a movie that

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.340
I thought was stupid, I didn't want to be mean

00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:14.080
to you. Okay. All my movies are good, by definition.

00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:21.899
I... Kind of literally just preface that by saying

00:04:21.899 --> 00:04:25.899
I was judgmental. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. I, I don't

00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:28.339
know. I, I was thinking of like, like I said,

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.519
the way I was thinking of it to expand it, to

00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.519
allow other people to come in, to make their

00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.060
lists. That's what, that's how I was thinking

00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:39.839
of it. So that's why I was like, Oh, like when

00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:41.480
we were just the rules, I just thought this was

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.399
like a, literally a two off that we were going

00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.470
to do. I didn't realize it was going to be part

00:04:46.470 --> 00:04:50.310
of GCN history. Initially it was, but then I

00:04:50.310 --> 00:04:55.129
was like, hey, this is a really cool, fun idea

00:04:55.129 --> 00:04:59.129
that I think will be awesome for Dave and I to

00:04:59.129 --> 00:05:01.949
do, but it would also be awesome to see what

00:05:01.949 --> 00:05:05.589
other people, how they would approach it and

00:05:05.589 --> 00:05:09.110
what their choices would be too. So it's, yeah,

00:05:09.290 --> 00:05:15.169
so it kind of expanded. Rule number two. More

00:05:15.169 --> 00:05:19.089
a personal thing, but in many cases, Dave defines

00:05:19.089 --> 00:05:21.610
quote -unquote favorite as film I'd most like

00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:25.230
to watch. Rule number three. Okay, because sometimes

00:05:25.230 --> 00:05:28.889
there was like a, you know, as we'll go through

00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:30.829
the list, I'll be talking about like, well, there

00:05:30.829 --> 00:05:32.329
was this movie that came out that year and this

00:05:32.329 --> 00:05:34.709
movie that came out that year. And, you know,

00:05:34.730 --> 00:05:37.209
not every movie is going to be Star Wars, you

00:05:37.209 --> 00:05:42.170
know? No, thank God. Well, my point being, well,

00:05:42.170 --> 00:05:47.269
no, that's terrible. But the point being that

00:05:47.269 --> 00:05:48.810
some years you're going to have less passion.

00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:52.709
Again, there were years where it's like, oh,

00:05:52.769 --> 00:05:55.829
I saw movies that year. So you don't have a lot

00:05:55.829 --> 00:05:58.209
of passion for them, the choices that you have.

00:05:58.689 --> 00:06:01.209
This will become a bigger thing in the TV version,

00:06:01.329 --> 00:06:05.149
I think. So it's like, what movie would I like

00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:07.540
to watch? So if you can't really think of what

00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:09.079
was the best movie that year, it's like, well,

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.459
what movie did I enjoy or what I, what I want

00:06:11.459 --> 00:06:16.759
to revisit for tiebreakers, you know? Yeah. See,

00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.199
and that's the other thing I don't do. I've never

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.019
done tiebreakers. I always make a choice. So

00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:26.639
when Dave was writing out his, his list on Facebook,

00:06:26.660 --> 00:06:30.139
he was writing out notes and he was basically

00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:33.879
arguing with himself through text in his Facebook

00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.079
post. And I was reading this and I'm like, yeah,

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:45.199
I would make the choice. I would just like, okay,

00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:48.540
I either want this one or this one. This is why

00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:50.800
I like this one. This is why I like this one.

00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:55.399
But this reason for this movie or this TV show

00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.500
is why I like it more than this other one. So

00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:02.899
I pick this. I will never have. I've never done.

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.300
a tiebreaker thing ever. I just don't. If there

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:15.000
are... Go ahead. Again, with 1984, get there.

00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.040
I'll talk about the movies. My choice will seem

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.180
like a very unconventional choice, given my general

00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:23.620
taste in movies. But, you know, Ghostbusters

00:07:23.620 --> 00:07:27.500
is a comedy. Gremlins is kind of a horror monster

00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:31.079
movie. Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai is a wacky

00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.910
sci -fi comedy. It's like judging a dog show.

00:07:37.930 --> 00:07:40.509
It's like, so which of those movies is my favorite?

00:07:40.990 --> 00:07:46.829
Which one would I want to watch? I believe you

00:07:46.829 --> 00:07:51.670
didn't run into any difficulties. There's a year

00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:53.610
where I literally, I know there's a rule about

00:07:53.610 --> 00:07:55.910
no ties, but when we get there, I'll have to

00:07:55.910 --> 00:07:59.350
decide. There's a year where there's two movies

00:07:59.350 --> 00:08:04.420
that I absolutely love. I don't know which one

00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:09.519
would I pick. 1993 broke my heart because I really

00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.319
wanted to pick Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.420
just to troll people. No, because I saw it in

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:17.639
college and I enjoyed it. It's weird because

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.060
I remember liking that film and TMNT fans hate

00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:26.800
that film. No. Some do. I am not one of those.

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:31.910
Some. I mean, we were, I guess, like, my friends

00:08:31.910 --> 00:08:33.970
who were more fans than I was, like, you know.

00:08:34.029 --> 00:08:36.950
But, like, so it's kind of a joke. But, I mean,

00:08:36.950 --> 00:08:39.590
I really did enjoy that movie. But, like, that's

00:08:39.590 --> 00:08:41.529
the year that Jurassic Park came out. So, like.

00:08:43.409 --> 00:08:45.529
That's the year that what came out? Jurassic

00:08:45.529 --> 00:08:48.710
Park. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to pick Jurassic

00:08:48.710 --> 00:08:56.809
Park. Yeah. No. So, rule number three. You have

00:08:56.809 --> 00:08:59.750
to have seen the film. You have to have seen

00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:02.990
the film, but do not have to have actually seen

00:09:02.990 --> 00:09:07.370
it the year it was released. Obviously. Especially

00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:12.350
for those first decade of our lives. Because

00:09:12.350 --> 00:09:13.649
you weren't watching a movie when you were two

00:09:13.649 --> 00:09:19.049
years old. I'm not watching Superman 2 in 1980

00:09:19.049 --> 00:09:22.350
or 1981 when I was just born or one year old.

00:09:23.309 --> 00:09:25.809
Godfather came out in 1972. I saw it in college

00:09:25.809 --> 00:09:30.039
in the 90s. Yeah, exactly. I think that'll become

00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.980
a bigger issue when we do the TV version because

00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:39.440
obviously a TV show can run for years. The rule

00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.519
was the year that the show debuted. Especially

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:47.419
in the 90s. My thing is, again, I love genre

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:50.860
shows. It was like if I took even the slightest

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.700
interest in a show, it would be canceled immediately.

00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.500
I would literally wait. I would wait three or

00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:57.980
four seasons before I'd start watching a show.

00:09:58.299 --> 00:10:00.379
And all of you fans of X -Files and Buffy the

00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:05.179
Vampire Slayer, you're welcome. I got into those

00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:09.360
shows late on purpose. Because I didn't want

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.000
to be canceled immediately. You know, the only...

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.379
I'm going to save that for the TV version. Because

00:10:16.379 --> 00:10:19.320
I'm not getting into that here. Okay, rule number

00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.179
four. Final rule. You can only pick one film

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:26.000
each year. In 1984, you must pick one film from

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.240
every year. 2006. Asterisk, although it won't

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.759
apply to us, or I assume. But, like, I mean,

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.120
if you didn't see anything. Like, 2006, I saw

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.259
two films. Yeah. Like, there are two films that

00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:40.860
came out that year that I saw. So, like, if both,

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.100
if they were, if they, theoretically, if they

00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:46.620
were a year. Or you didn't see anything. That

00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:52.480
would be the escape hatch. Yeah, but... And we're

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.940
not doing my... I'll have you take me through

00:10:56.940 --> 00:11:01.059
this or whatever for my version of the film,

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:03.080
whatever, when we get to it. I don't know when

00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.559
that's going to be because the studio is pretty

00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.759
full between now and episode 200. Because this

00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:15.440
is episode 167. But yeah, I watch a lot of stuff.

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:18.720
I've always watched a lot of stuff, movies, TV

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.000
shows, whatever it is. And in 2006, I picked

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.679
that year. I mean, that's my year. Right. Because

00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.340
it's your year that you probably didn't. But

00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:35.080
I'm just saying, like. when i went through so

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.740
what i did because like we keep mentioning the

00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:40.279
tv version because i might that'll become a bigger

00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.340
issue with the tv version because right right

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:44.259
right right there came a point in my life where

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:47.000
i really stopped watching tv and started switching

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.000
over to youtube stuff right So for me, when I

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.480
first saw this, when I first saw your post and

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.600
I read through your post, I'm like, oh, that's

00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.860
cool. He chose that movie. I knew he would choose

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:03.360
that for that because, you know, he likes, you

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.460
know, fake sharks and all that and everything

00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:10.409
else because that shark looks fake. If you think

00:12:10.409 --> 00:12:11.950
it's about the shark, you don't understand Jaws

00:12:11.950 --> 00:12:14.330
at all. I know, I know it's not about the shark,

00:12:14.429 --> 00:12:16.450
but the shark still looks fake. You know, whatever

00:12:16.450 --> 00:12:18.429
else. So I read through the whole post and I'm

00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:22.409
like, huh, this is an awesome concept. I wonder

00:12:22.409 --> 00:12:25.669
what it would look like in a TV landscape. So

00:12:25.669 --> 00:12:28.669
I went down the whole rabbit hole of list of

00:12:28.669 --> 00:12:32.330
American television shows of, and then I put

00:12:32.330 --> 00:12:35.240
in whatever year it was. And then I just started

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.820
at my birth year, which is 1980. And I went from

00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:44.919
1980 to 2025. And I created a folder in Google

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.919
Chrome. I just named it whatever I was going

00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:52.340
to name it. And I then favorited every Wikipedia

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:56.720
page for every year in television from the year

00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:03.299
of my birth until 2025. And I scanned every year.

00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:06.259
I skimmed over every year of television shows

00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:11.299
that debuted in my lifetime. And I'm like, yeah,

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.120
I know pretty much. I don't know exactly most

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.480
of my choices, but all of the key choices that

00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.480
have influenced me in my 45 years of living,

00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:25.279
I know exactly what my list is going to look

00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.730
like for TV. I have no idea what my list is going

00:13:28.730 --> 00:13:30.570
to look like for movies because I haven't made

00:13:30.570 --> 00:13:38.269
it yet. Which is why we're doing it this way.

00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:44.149
You go first. Very dangerous. Yes, very dangerous.

00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:50.009
You go first. You go first. So, opening moves.

00:13:50.690 --> 00:13:55.490
1971. What do you got? Okay, this one was interesting.

00:13:56.939 --> 00:14:02.200
It was the year that Willy Wonka came out. It

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.820
was the year Diamonds Are Forever, the last Connery

00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:08.659
Bond movie, not counting Never Say Ever Again.

00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:13.440
But I actually went, I think people who know

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.279
me very well would be surprised that I went with

00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:19.460
a Western called Big Jake with John Wayne. No

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:22.799
matter who else gets killed, that boy dies. Shotgun

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:24.379
misses him. It don't matter. You already know

00:14:24.379 --> 00:14:27.009
about the rifle on him. That won't be as messy

00:14:27.009 --> 00:14:29.610
as a shotgun at three feet, but that boy will

00:14:29.610 --> 00:14:37.730
be just as dead. You understand me? Say it. I

00:14:37.730 --> 00:14:40.049
understand. I saw it a long time ago on cable

00:14:40.049 --> 00:14:45.049
as a kid, but I really like it. It was, I think,

00:14:45.090 --> 00:14:47.490
really the best Westerns. The most interesting

00:14:47.490 --> 00:14:50.110
ones are set at that time when the Western was

00:14:50.110 --> 00:14:53.950
actually changing, being wild, being civilized.

00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.779
And that's kind of a big theme in that movie.

00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.279
That movie is he's kind of an old -school cowboy

00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.379
who's become rich, and he's kind of left his

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:06.919
family. They're more civilized, and he's kind

00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.460
of still the old -school cowboy. But his grandson,

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:13.100
again, I saw this a long, long time ago. Oh,

00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:15.759
my God, people are blowing up my phone. But his

00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.200
grandson gets kidnapped, and in the end, he's

00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.480
the only one who can get him back, and his buddies.

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:26.679
Like, there's this whole sequence of this posse,

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.059
and they're all in cars, and they've all got,

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.200
you know, modern weapons, and they're very, you

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.080
know, oh, it's all modern, modern, modern, and

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.279
they all get slaughtered. And it's up to Big

00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:42.259
Jake to get his grandson back. So I like that

00:15:42.259 --> 00:15:46.340
film. I mean, I like Willy Wonka, and, well,

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.039
Diamonds is not my favorite Bond film. No. Diamonds

00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.539
should not be anyone's favorite Bond film. No.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:57.620
My favorite's You Only Live Twice. GoldenEye.

00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.940
Yeah, I never saw GoldenEye. I've never seen

00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:09.149
any of the Brosnan films. What? No. I'm not the

00:16:09.149 --> 00:16:13.070
biggest James Bond guy. Okay, okay. That's a

00:16:13.070 --> 00:16:15.950
whole podcast for a whole... Yep, that's fine.

00:16:16.190 --> 00:16:20.289
My era is the Roger Moore era, which is probably

00:16:20.289 --> 00:16:24.789
why I'm not a huge James Bond guy. The Man with

00:16:24.789 --> 00:16:28.110
the Golden Gun, hands down. I saw that a million

00:16:28.110 --> 00:16:31.389
times on cable. Yeah, exactly, but The Man with

00:16:31.389 --> 00:16:33.429
the Golden Gun, hands down, is easily the best

00:16:33.429 --> 00:16:38.159
Moore movie. For your eyes only, sir. Eh, okay,

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.320
we can debate that later. Yeah. 1972, this is

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.700
a change from the original list. I originally

00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:47.220
had The Godfather, which I was never happy about

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:50.879
because, I mean, it's The Godfather, I get it,

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.320
it's a classic, but do I love it? Eh. But it's

00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.980
1972, so you're like, what else was there? So

00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:04.240
I went back and I dug, and actually, my choice

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.009
for 1972 is Man of La Mancha. Peter O'Toole.

00:17:07.130 --> 00:17:09.950
The Dream the Impossible Dream. The story of

00:17:09.950 --> 00:17:15.589
Don Quixote. Say that title again slowly. Man

00:17:15.589 --> 00:17:21.589
of La Mancha. Okay. To dream the impossible dream.

00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:32.710
To fight the unbeatable foe. To bear with unbearable

00:17:32.710 --> 00:17:36.089
foe. The impossible dream comes true. to run

00:17:36.089 --> 00:17:40.529
where the brave dare not go. Man of La Mancha.

00:17:40.990 --> 00:17:45.430
Starring Peter O'Toole as Don Quixote de la Mancha!

00:17:45.670 --> 00:17:48.529
I mean, I named one of my damn dogs Dulcinea.

00:17:49.049 --> 00:17:53.630
So, she was a good girl. Very cool, very cool.

00:17:53.809 --> 00:17:56.750
The movie itself is more of a meta -narrative

00:17:56.750 --> 00:18:00.450
because it's about Cervantes being brought up

00:18:00.450 --> 00:18:04.069
before the Inquisition for writing Don Quixote.

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.980
But in the process of defending himself, he performs

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:10.599
Don Quixote. Oh, interesting. Yeah. It's a good

00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.900
film. And the music is... Dulcinea is a great

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:17.079
song. Beautiful song. So, yes. Mano La Mancha.

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:21.420
1973. The first Michael Crichton movie on the

00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:29.099
list. Westworld. MGM presents Westworld. Your

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:32.319
attention, please. We will soon be landing at

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.599
Westworld. The ultimate... resort we have you

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.539
on grid five over it consists of three worlds

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:41.519
of the past locking in now worlds where you can

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.279
live out your every fantasy there's roman world

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.099
the lusty decadent delights of imperial pompeii

00:18:49.099 --> 00:18:52.819
notify ground crews medieval world chivalry and

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:57.119
combat in 13th century europe and west world

00:18:57.710 --> 00:19:00.829
Lawless violence on the American frontier of

00:19:00.829 --> 00:19:05.990
the 1880s. Each resort is maintained by reliable

00:19:05.990 --> 00:19:11.329
computer technology and peopled by lifelike robot

00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:14.410
men and women. Let's stand by for resort activation.

00:19:14.730 --> 00:19:18.809
Ready on six, on five, on four, on three, on

00:19:18.809 --> 00:19:23.650
two, activate now. People forget that before

00:19:23.650 --> 00:19:29.870
dinosaurs, he was warning us about robots. And

00:19:29.870 --> 00:19:34.950
again, the pickings are a little slim, I say,

00:19:35.069 --> 00:19:38.630
before 74 comes up and there's a big train wreck.

00:19:38.990 --> 00:19:41.869
Yeah. Westworld's another one I saw on cable

00:19:41.869 --> 00:19:43.849
when I was a kid. I liked it. I thought it was

00:19:43.849 --> 00:19:48.369
cool. I believe the HBO series is on my TV list.

00:19:48.509 --> 00:19:50.450
I got to double check. And that's mainly for

00:19:50.450 --> 00:19:53.049
the first season. Again, the TV one is going

00:19:53.049 --> 00:19:54.369
to be weird because there's going to be all kinds

00:19:54.369 --> 00:19:57.730
of weird caveats. I like this one season, but

00:19:57.730 --> 00:20:00.150
that season wasn't the season to premiere. It's

00:20:00.150 --> 00:20:02.329
a mess. This is what you get for calling an audible.

00:20:02.690 --> 00:20:06.690
It's okay. It doesn't matter to me. 1974 was

00:20:06.690 --> 00:20:08.710
interesting because there were not one but two

00:20:08.710 --> 00:20:14.609
Mel Brooks classics. There was Blazing Saddles

00:20:14.609 --> 00:20:17.930
and Young Frankenstein. I really had to wrestle

00:20:17.930 --> 00:20:22.329
with this one because I think overall Blazing

00:20:22.329 --> 00:20:26.099
Saddles is the funnier movie. And it also has

00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:28.359
more, whatever you want to say, commentary, has

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:31.880
more to say about the world. But it's also sloppier.

00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:34.559
Like, the ending just, like, literally, like,

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:39.220
just a vomit of chaos. You know, and it's supposed

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.920
to be funny. They explode out onto the sets,

00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.740
you know. Like, everything falls apart and everything

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:46.099
goes crazy. I don't like that. I never liked

00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:50.059
that. Yeah. And I also kind of love the attention

00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:52.890
to detail that Young Frankenstein brings. The

00:20:52.890 --> 00:20:54.849
classic, you know, universe of monster movies.

00:20:55.069 --> 00:20:57.869
So I went with Young Frankenstein. Frankenstein.

00:20:59.430 --> 00:21:02.150
Also, the Frau Blucher joke is the funniest damn

00:21:02.150 --> 00:21:05.930
thing in the world. The horses scream every time

00:21:05.930 --> 00:21:19.890
they mention her name. I am Frau Blucher. Inga,

00:21:19.970 --> 00:21:26.569
may I present Frau Blucher. After you, Frau Blucher.

00:21:33.170 --> 00:21:44.670
Blucher! Wait, wait, wait. Oh, 1976 is a weird

00:21:44.670 --> 00:21:49.430
one. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, 1974. 1975, that's

00:21:49.430 --> 00:21:53.569
why I skipped 1975. Because it's Jaws. It's a

00:21:53.569 --> 00:21:55.509
little film you may have heard of. It's not about

00:21:55.509 --> 00:21:57.109
a shark. Well, I mean, it is about a shark, but

00:21:57.109 --> 00:21:59.750
the movie's not about the shark. You're missing

00:21:59.750 --> 00:22:02.170
the point. The movie's about three men. It's

00:22:02.170 --> 00:22:05.809
about a town that has done... It's about the

00:22:05.809 --> 00:22:07.589
corruption of a town being punished for being

00:22:07.589 --> 00:22:12.130
corrupt. It sets the prototype for every slasher

00:22:12.130 --> 00:22:14.829
movie that came later on, except it was good.

00:22:14.930 --> 00:22:16.150
For a minute there, I thought you were going

00:22:16.150 --> 00:22:18.750
to say it was about three men and a baby. No,

00:22:18.750 --> 00:22:23.150
it was three men and a boat. And, you know, it's

00:22:23.150 --> 00:22:24.990
fascinating because it's the 50th anniversary,

00:22:25.089 --> 00:22:27.130
and there's a lot of stories about, like, I've

00:22:27.130 --> 00:22:29.049
seen a lot of stories about how Richard Dreyfuss

00:22:29.049 --> 00:22:33.369
and, oh, God, the actor who played Quint, I can't

00:22:33.369 --> 00:22:35.710
remember his name, Shaw, Robert Shaw, really

00:22:35.710 --> 00:22:39.369
didn't like each other. The tension on the screen

00:22:39.369 --> 00:22:42.210
was reflecting the tension in real life. Shaw

00:22:42.210 --> 00:22:45.089
was an alcoholic, and how he kind of blew the

00:22:45.089 --> 00:22:47.009
first reading of the famous Indianapolis speech,

00:22:47.230 --> 00:22:51.369
which he came up with. And he apologized to Spielberg,

00:22:51.410 --> 00:22:54.509
and they got a second take, and then it's a classic

00:22:54.509 --> 00:22:57.430
iconic moment of the film. I think that I am

00:22:57.430 --> 00:22:59.049
familiar with the fact that you are going to

00:22:59.049 --> 00:23:01.309
ignore this particular problem until it swims

00:23:01.309 --> 00:23:03.710
up and bites you on the ass. That's the shark.

00:23:03.930 --> 00:23:06.990
In 1975, the robot shark looks fake. That's why

00:23:06.990 --> 00:23:09.049
it's almost never in the film. And Spielberg

00:23:09.049 --> 00:23:10.990
said, cutting around the shark, it made the movie

00:23:10.990 --> 00:23:12.589
more suspenseful. That's what made the movie

00:23:12.589 --> 00:23:16.289
amazing. Cut around the shark. You see it from

00:23:16.289 --> 00:23:18.130
the shark's perspective. And it's the music,

00:23:18.170 --> 00:23:22.789
and it's the mood, it's tension. We're supposed

00:23:22.789 --> 00:23:25.589
to do an episode on that later on. Yes, we will.

00:23:27.549 --> 00:23:29.430
Ironically, I have tickets for it in 3D, even

00:23:29.430 --> 00:23:32.970
though it is not Jaws 3D, which I did see in

00:23:32.970 --> 00:23:34.309
the movie theaters in 3D. So this will be the

00:23:34.309 --> 00:23:37.539
second Jaws movie I see in 3D. There you go.

00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.279
Anyway! Should I keep yammering for each movie?

00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:44.700
I'm going to have to clean this next one. This

00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:48.400
next one is called Allegro Non Tropo. This is

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.440
another one I saw on cable a lot in 1976. I saw

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.640
it on cable a lot as a kid. It is sort of a spoof

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.259
of Fantasia. Okay. Obviously it was Italian.

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:03.700
The animated bits were fascinating and weird.

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:07.519
The two that I remember the most is there was

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.240
one that was set to Bolero. And it started off

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.140
as this astronaut lands on a planet and drops

00:24:13.140 --> 00:24:15.980
a bottle of Coke. And the whole thing is the

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:17.799
Coke begins, well, the Coke that's left in the

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.480
bottle evolves. Oh, no. And becomes life. Oh,

00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.559
no. And then the life forms become dinosaurs.

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.839
The dinosaurs are marching and marching to the

00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.259
tune of Bolero. And at some point, there's an

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:31.700
ape. And then the ape gets fire. And the ape

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:33.400
kind of wanders off. And in the end, the ape

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.910
kills everything else. and becomes master of

00:24:35.910 --> 00:24:39.730
the world. Oh, my God. Oh, well, there's a great

00:24:39.730 --> 00:24:41.309
moment where the dinosaurs are marching, and

00:24:41.309 --> 00:24:43.690
the music's, like, surging, and you see, like,

00:24:43.730 --> 00:24:45.430
Christ on the cross, and they all, the dinosaurs

00:24:45.430 --> 00:24:47.329
stop and look at him for, like, a second, and

00:24:47.329 --> 00:24:49.990
then move on. I love it. And then there's another

00:24:49.990 --> 00:24:52.450
one that's about, it's another weird, like, there's

00:24:52.450 --> 00:24:53.990
a lot of astronauts in this one, but there's,

00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:56.470
like, an astronaut who lands on a planet. It's

00:24:56.470 --> 00:24:58.990
a very primitive planet, and he's got, like,

00:24:59.009 --> 00:25:00.589
a remote control that does, like, magical things.

00:25:01.009 --> 00:25:02.750
It's almost like Life of Brian, where, like,

00:25:03.099 --> 00:25:04.559
He does these things and people think he's like,

00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:06.819
he's like Jesus. Okay. They start chasing him

00:25:06.819 --> 00:25:08.779
and he's freaking out. And like at the very end,

00:25:08.819 --> 00:25:11.240
he gets crucified. Uh, and the, the, the remote

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:12.920
breaks until the whole planet shrinks down. So

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:14.900
it's just like a little tiny ball of rock with

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:18.980
him on the cross. Um, but anyway, it's, it's

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:20.440
an interesting movie. I remember like a long

00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:22.299
time ago, you had like the top animated movie

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:24.980
list. Yeah. And I was going to put it on there

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:28.700
too, just to like, well, I think, I think it

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:30.779
is interesting. I think it's, it's, that's what

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:36.769
we said. Allegro non troppo. 1977. A little -known

00:25:36.769 --> 00:25:41.849
movie called Annie Hall with Woody Allen and

00:25:41.849 --> 00:25:44.490
Diane Keaton. It won the Academy Award. Everybody

00:25:44.490 --> 00:25:46.670
loves Woody Allen. He's a very popular, very

00:25:46.670 --> 00:25:51.670
beloved figure in Hollywood. I'm kidding. Obviously,

00:25:51.670 --> 00:25:53.750
it's Smoking the Bandit. It's obviously Smoking

00:25:53.750 --> 00:25:57.250
the Bandit. Who are you and what the fuck have

00:25:57.250 --> 00:26:00.529
you done with David Draper? Wait, wait, wait.

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:07.400
The joke's funny if we don't say it. You're doing

00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:08.920
the thing that Jason always does, which is over

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:13.660
-explain a joke. It's Star Wars, okay? Joke ruined.

00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.180
1978. No, I said no. All I was going to say was,

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:22.380
you know, you're clear, kid. Now punch this thing

00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:24.539
and let's go home. That's all I was going to

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:27.920
say. 1978. I am not a big fan of horror movies

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:33.000
in general, but for a while... Until the 2000s,

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.180
2010s, I was a big fan of zombie movies. Okay.

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:40.140
Then they kind of ran that genre into the ground,

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.119
and I got a little sick of it. Yeah, they did.

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.660
But I do still have a lot of love for the original

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:47.980
George Romero, Dawn of the Dead. Now, George

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:50.880
Romero brings us the most intensely shocking

00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.799
motion picture experience of all times. It gets

00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:58.160
up and kills. The people it kills get up and

00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.569
kill. This situation must be controlled before

00:27:01.569 --> 00:27:04.410
it's too late. They are multiplying too rapidly.

00:27:05.089 --> 00:27:07.970
Dawn of the Dead. Meet me on the roof at 9 o

00:27:07.970 --> 00:27:09.509
'clock. Get out. I don't believe it. What? We're

00:27:09.509 --> 00:27:11.589
going to get out in a chopper. We've got to survive.

00:27:11.950 --> 00:27:14.130
Somebody's got to survive. Oh, okay. That is

00:27:14.130 --> 00:27:17.609
my one horror movie on this list. I don't really

00:27:17.609 --> 00:27:20.650
count stuff like Jaws and Gremlins and Jurassic

00:27:20.650 --> 00:27:23.470
Park as horror movies. But yeah, so Dawn of the

00:27:23.470 --> 00:27:27.690
Dead, 1978. Alright, Dawn of the Dead. 1979,

00:27:27.910 --> 00:27:29.910
I got yelled at. Speaking of not being a big

00:27:29.910 --> 00:27:33.670
fan of... A friend. Which friend? Not you. You

00:27:33.670 --> 00:27:37.390
don't know him. You know Pete Vandergrift? No.

00:27:37.750 --> 00:27:39.569
Yeah, that's what I thought. But he's a huge

00:27:39.569 --> 00:27:43.410
fan of Alien. Oh, okay. He's a friend from high

00:27:43.410 --> 00:27:46.470
school. Okay. And ironically, he's the guy in

00:27:46.470 --> 00:27:49.069
1986 got me into my choice for that year because

00:27:49.069 --> 00:27:53.849
I was underage. But, um... But he loves the Alien

00:27:53.849 --> 00:27:56.230
movies. He's got the original Kenner one still

00:27:56.230 --> 00:28:00.609
in the box. No, he does. But I was thinking about

00:28:00.609 --> 00:28:02.849
it. I was considering it. But I went with the

00:28:02.849 --> 00:28:05.549
Muppet movie because I do love the original Muppet

00:28:05.549 --> 00:28:08.690
movie. Yes. The Muppet show was a big part of

00:28:08.690 --> 00:28:11.750
my childhood. Yes. So I went with the Muppet

00:28:11.750 --> 00:28:13.890
movie. That's right. That's the only correct

00:28:13.890 --> 00:28:21.059
answer for 1979. Alien is, I think, depending

00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:22.720
on your point of view, depending on your taste,

00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:24.420
you can go Alien or Muppet Movie. I think those

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:27.039
are the two. 1980. 1980, I'm not going to do

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:32.079
it again. It's Empire Strikes Back. For me, the

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.880
funny thing was you and I approach this differently.

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.759
You go on Wikipedia and I go on IMDb. And so

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.160
every year I would go on the IMDb and I would

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:43.539
scroll through the list. They do 50 movies and

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:46.059
then you can get 50 more. I usually didn't have

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:49.150
to go past the first 50. Sometimes I would. There

00:28:49.150 --> 00:28:52.390
were a few years I had to go to the next 50,

00:28:52.470 --> 00:28:55.430
like the third 50, 150. It was funny, because

00:28:55.430 --> 00:28:58.630
when I got to 1980, I was in a rhythm. I got

00:28:58.630 --> 00:29:00.269
to 1980, and I started scrolling, and it's like,

00:29:00.410 --> 00:29:03.410
oh, oh yeah. Oh yeah, one of my top all -time

00:29:03.410 --> 00:29:06.250
favorite movies of all time. How did I forget

00:29:06.250 --> 00:29:10.430
that? How did I forget that? Exactly. So Empire

00:29:10.430 --> 00:29:13.029
Strikes Back. Again, this is what I call, I took

00:29:13.029 --> 00:29:16.240
to calling this stretch Murderer's Row. after

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:19.980
the old 1920s Yankees. They're just like one

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:23.680
monster after another. Star Wars, Empire, 1981,

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:28.180
Raiders of the Lost Ark. Just a classic, classic

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:32.359
Spielberg movie. Is that your choice for 81?

00:29:32.819 --> 00:29:38.019
Oh yeah, absolutely. I'm writing these down as

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:41.480
we go, so I just want to make sure that that's

00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.160
your choice. Hey, if you're copying my homework,

00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:46.180
just make sure you don't make it too obvious.

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.059
Years ago, I've seen it in the theaters several

00:29:51.059 --> 00:29:53.279
times, like fairly recently. But a couple years

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.380
back, I saw it. It wasn't real IMAX. It was like

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:59.839
fake IMAX. We didn't have IMAX back then. Yeah.

00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:02.339
I remember it was a different experience. I was

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:04.339
watching. I don't know how to put it. I was watching

00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:06.400
the directing. Because I'd seen the movie a million

00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:11.390
times on TV, on video. But the whole sequence

00:30:11.390 --> 00:30:14.289
with the flying wing, it was like watching someone

00:30:14.289 --> 00:30:16.970
playing with dominoes, watching every piece be

00:30:16.970 --> 00:30:20.730
put into place. It's such a great movie. It's

00:30:20.730 --> 00:30:23.190
such a well -directed movie. And it's Harrison

00:30:23.190 --> 00:30:26.549
Ford at his peak. It's John Williams' theme.

00:30:26.710 --> 00:30:32.869
It's a great film. It is. 1982 is actually currently

00:30:32.869 --> 00:30:35.130
my favorite movie of all time. I am now literally

00:30:35.130 --> 00:30:37.309
looking at the movie poster. Star Trek II, The

00:30:37.309 --> 00:30:42.640
Wrath of Kong. I read a lot. I think it's the

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:45.160
best Star Trek film, which is both good and bad,

00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:47.400
because I think they keep trying to repeat the

00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.900
formula since then, especially with newer films.

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.220
I think all three of the Abrams movies were Star

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:55.859
Trek Ravikon, which is unfortunate. The original

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:58.700
is the best. Not all three of them were, but

00:30:58.700 --> 00:31:01.500
the second one was. The second one was literally.

00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:05.440
Yeah, no, no, I know. Into Darkness, but what's

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:08.940
so funny about that is, as of this recording,

00:31:09.690 --> 00:31:12.210
I'm in the middle of editing a previous episode

00:31:12.210 --> 00:31:14.990
that people would have already heard. And my

00:31:14.990 --> 00:31:21.529
buddy, Steve Megatron, he inaudibly and audibly

00:31:21.529 --> 00:31:24.349
hates that movie. And we were going through...

00:31:24.349 --> 00:31:28.069
As he should. Yeah, I know. We were going through

00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:31.849
2013 because we were discussing... Oh, we were

00:31:31.849 --> 00:31:34.130
wrapping up Christmas in July this year because

00:31:34.130 --> 00:31:36.210
we went through and reviewed all five Die Hard

00:31:36.210 --> 00:31:39.690
films because Die Hard is... A movie that takes

00:31:39.690 --> 00:31:41.710
place at Christmas. It is not a Christmas movie.

00:31:42.730 --> 00:31:45.210
So anyway, we were... As much static as I give

00:31:45.210 --> 00:31:49.130
you, you are a wise man in that regard, 100%.

00:31:49.130 --> 00:31:54.930
So we were reviewing the fifth film. I had never

00:31:54.930 --> 00:31:59.490
seen A Good Day to Die Hard. And we were talking

00:31:59.490 --> 00:32:02.609
about the year that that movie came out, which

00:32:02.609 --> 00:32:05.890
was 2013. And I was scrolling really fast through

00:32:05.890 --> 00:32:09.140
the list of... american films that released in

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:12.779
2013 and i i was like oh yeah by the way steve

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:15.099
one of your favorite franchises released a movie

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:18.779
that year star trek into darkness i actively

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:21.640
left the silence in because i knew what was going

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.539
on in his i heard the gears in his brain trying

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:27.859
to work and i'm like see folks this is what makes

00:32:27.859 --> 00:32:30.519
steve megatron shut up you mentioned a film he

00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:35.630
inaudibly cannot stand and then Ten and a half

00:32:35.630 --> 00:32:41.529
seconds later, you just hear this audible vomit,

00:32:41.730 --> 00:32:46.930
and I'm just like, yep, we can move on now. What

00:32:46.930 --> 00:32:52.069
makes that movie stupid is that with the original

00:32:52.069 --> 00:32:55.670
Wrath of Khan, the movie itself makes the effort

00:32:55.670 --> 00:32:58.430
to set up who Khan is, and that he has history

00:32:58.430 --> 00:33:01.269
with Kirk. Whereas with Into Darkness, there's

00:33:01.269 --> 00:33:04.900
literally a moment where Benedict Cumberbatch

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:09.980
goes, my name is Khan. Khan. And Kirk has zero

00:33:09.980 --> 00:33:13.980
reasons to have a reaction to that. Yeah. I think

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:15.880
in the film he's like, what does that mean? You

00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:17.400
know, it's supposed to be, it's for the audience

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:19.539
who knows who Khan is. And it's like, it's just

00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:23.079
so badly written. It's so dumb. I'm not even

00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:25.839
getting to the triples and how they completely

00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.339
undermine just everything about Star Trek. So

00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:34.170
Star Trek 2, Wrath of Khan, I... I don't know.

00:33:34.829 --> 00:33:38.990
Oh, I love it. It's a movie that has spoken to

00:33:38.990 --> 00:33:42.210
me on different levels every year. Every time

00:33:42.210 --> 00:33:45.490
I revisit it, every decade or so. When I was

00:33:45.490 --> 00:33:48.730
a kid, obviously it was Space Battles. It's like

00:33:48.730 --> 00:33:52.130
Star Wars. It's got Space Battles. Then you're

00:33:52.130 --> 00:33:55.009
a little older and it's about the French. It's

00:33:55.009 --> 00:34:00.569
about the original trio. You get their friendship

00:34:00.569 --> 00:34:04.210
and their camaraderie. And that really speaks

00:34:04.210 --> 00:34:05.990
to you because you're making the friends that

00:34:05.990 --> 00:34:08.650
you're going to make for life. And then you get

00:34:08.650 --> 00:34:10.789
a little bit older and the themes about the choices

00:34:10.789 --> 00:34:13.210
you made, right? He has a line about a man I

00:34:13.210 --> 00:34:15.650
haven't seen in 20 years trying to kill me. And

00:34:15.650 --> 00:34:17.829
you show me a son who would be happy to join

00:34:17.829 --> 00:34:20.590
him. Because you get older and suddenly you've

00:34:20.590 --> 00:34:22.449
made choices. You make dumb choices. You regret

00:34:22.449 --> 00:34:25.309
the choices you make. And that's the main theme

00:34:25.309 --> 00:34:27.710
of the movie are the decisions you make and the

00:34:27.710 --> 00:34:30.429
consequences that bite you in the ass down the

00:34:30.429 --> 00:34:36.400
road. Yeah. You get a little older and people

00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:42.179
die. Yep. Everyone remembers the part where Shatner

00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:45.059
screams, calm! Yeah, that's what everybody remembers.

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:47.960
Very few people remember when Spock actually

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:53.480
dies. Shatner's reaction, speaking of someone

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:55.400
who was there when someone very important to

00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:01.039
him died, is the truest. I mean, there were different

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:03.639
situations, but the idea of going through hell

00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:09.320
and, like, you still lose. You still die anyway.

00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:16.960
And he just goes, no. And it's... Because his

00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:20.420
voice is broken, but he still says no. Like,

00:35:20.420 --> 00:35:26.619
you know, it's... So, you know, I love that film.

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:31.230
Like I said, that film has spoken to me. Every

00:35:31.230 --> 00:35:33.230
decade or so, there's a new thing to find in

00:35:33.230 --> 00:35:35.230
it, which I think is a sign of a great movie.

00:35:35.750 --> 00:35:40.130
Also, Kirstie Alley is really hot. I will say,

00:35:40.250 --> 00:35:43.909
I don't want to cast shade on Robin Curtis. I'm

00:35:43.909 --> 00:35:46.769
sure she's a fine actress. But Kirstie Alley

00:35:46.769 --> 00:35:51.849
was really hot. Yes, yes she was. Oh, 1983. Again,

00:35:51.989 --> 00:35:54.670
this is Murderer's Row. This is Yub Nub, Return

00:35:54.670 --> 00:35:59.769
of the Jedi. The trilogy wraps up. Really? Okay.

00:36:00.769 --> 00:36:05.409
For 1983? Man. What? What came out in 1983? No,

00:36:05.409 --> 00:36:10.230
no, no. Okay, so when I look... Okay, so again,

00:36:10.349 --> 00:36:13.349
I have not made my list, but when I look at the

00:36:13.349 --> 00:36:17.510
80s, 82, and I'm not saying this is what my list

00:36:17.510 --> 00:36:20.730
is going to be, but it might. I don't know. I'll

00:36:20.730 --> 00:36:25.309
hold you to it. Everyone take notes. Yeah, yeah,

00:36:25.309 --> 00:36:31.920
yeah. 82 would be Tron. But I saw it way later.

00:36:32.059 --> 00:36:34.780
I saw it when... Again, that doesn't matter.

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:37.659
I know it doesn't matter, but I'm just saying,

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:41.099
when I look at the year 1982, just look at the

00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:45.199
four numbers, 1, 9, 8, 2. The first thing I think

00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:49.420
of is Tron. When I look at 1983, yeah, I had

00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:52.619
Jedi in the back of my mind, but the first thing

00:36:52.619 --> 00:36:57.679
that pops up... is trading places with eddie

00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:02.880
murphy and dan akroyd and and uh you're gonna

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:04.659
notice there aren't a lot of comedies on my list

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:08.119
no i i and that's fine not saying there has to

00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:11.739
be like genre to meet like when when you're making

00:37:11.739 --> 00:37:14.260
your list when i'm making my list whoever i get

00:37:14.260 --> 00:37:16.980
in the future to do this i don't care about the

00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:20.199
film genre i don't care what genre it is i i

00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.739
have no whatever What I'm saying is I'm not picking

00:37:23.739 --> 00:37:26.380
by genre, but I do think that people have internal

00:37:26.380 --> 00:37:29.079
biases, that they like what they like. And in

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.519
terms of movies, I'm not necessarily the biggest

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:34.699
fan of movie. Like when we do the TV list, I

00:37:34.699 --> 00:37:37.179
have a lot of sitcoms. It seems like I like comedy

00:37:37.179 --> 00:37:39.340
better on TV than I do in movies. Than you do

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:41.980
in film, yeah. It's not that I'm like, oh, I'm

00:37:41.980 --> 00:37:43.300
not going to pick Trading Places because that's

00:37:43.300 --> 00:37:46.920
a comedy. Oh, no, no, no. It was the fucking

00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.900
third Star Wars film. I know, and I understand.

00:37:50.110 --> 00:37:54.429
Right. Absolutely. Yub nub. I got it. But just

00:37:54.429 --> 00:37:58.809
when I look at the number 1983, yes, in the back

00:37:58.809 --> 00:38:03.449
of my mind. Sir, what is rule number one? Sir,

00:38:04.190 --> 00:38:09.869
what is rule number one? She's his sister. That's

00:38:09.869 --> 00:38:12.070
what rule number one is. Sir, what is rule number

00:38:12.070 --> 00:38:14.190
one? First of all, I'm from the South, so that's

00:38:14.190 --> 00:38:16.230
not a big deal. Secondly, what is rule number

00:38:16.230 --> 00:38:24.670
one? Remind me. Yes, I know. I know. Right. I

00:38:24.670 --> 00:38:28.610
know. I know. When I get 84. Oh, I know. That's

00:38:28.610 --> 00:38:32.949
fine. But all I'm saying is when I see that number.

00:38:34.369 --> 00:38:37.409
Yeah. I don't even think of trading spaces. I

00:38:37.409 --> 00:38:42.710
didn't realize that it was. Yeah. I'm a big fan

00:38:42.710 --> 00:38:45.909
of the TV show, too. Anyway. Yeah, exactly. Me,

00:38:45.989 --> 00:38:49.260
too. Alright, 84, what do you got? So 84 was

00:38:49.260 --> 00:38:54.280
brutal. 84 is a bloodbath. 84 is a bloodbath,

00:38:54.340 --> 00:38:56.019
because like I was saying, it was like Murderous

00:38:56.019 --> 00:38:58.619
Row. It was like all these movies that I, you

00:38:58.619 --> 00:39:02.400
know, Star Wars, Empire, Rathacon, Raiders, Jedi.

00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:08.480
84, finally like the big dogs are gone. They're

00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:12.519
all in one year. Oh no, the big dogs are gone.

00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.579
And it's like every other dog. It's like all

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:19.739
the other classic dogs. Yeah. Gremlins, Ghostbusters,

00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:22.719
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, The Terminator.

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.320
Yeah. I mean, Temple of Doom. Temple of Doom,

00:39:27.420 --> 00:39:29.840
Beverly Hills Cop. Oh, yeah, Beverly. Well, okay,

00:39:29.900 --> 00:39:33.519
again, comedies. But it's still an action movie,

00:39:33.659 --> 00:39:34.960
too. I'm just saying it's not my favorite movie.

00:39:35.179 --> 00:39:37.820
I understand, and that's fine, but I'm just saying.

00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:43.769
My choice for 1984, and this hurts. This is one

00:39:43.769 --> 00:39:46.510
of my other all -time favorite movies, Amadeus.

00:39:46.849 --> 00:39:50.949
What? The story of Mozart. Yeah. Academy Award

00:39:50.949 --> 00:39:53.710
winner for that year. Yeah. Boys love that movie.

00:39:53.769 --> 00:39:55.429
I think it's a brilliant movie. I see myself

00:39:55.429 --> 00:39:57.530
a little bit in Mozart, and I see myself a lot

00:39:57.530 --> 00:40:03.070
in Salieri. The idea of you're sitting there

00:40:03.070 --> 00:40:04.489
and you're watching people who have so much more

00:40:04.489 --> 00:40:07.230
talent than you. That's just unfair, and you

00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:10.309
declare war on God. I'm not saying I did that,

00:40:10.389 --> 00:40:14.019
but... I haven't driven anyone to death yet.

00:40:14.860 --> 00:40:21.079
Moving on. 1985. This one was pretty easy. Next

00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:27.239
Saturday night. Back to the Future. Yeah. Next

00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.480
Saturday night, we are sending you. That's what

00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:37.320
I figured. It's a film I enjoy. My mother was

00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:39.039
a little older when she had me, so she kind of

00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:41.659
grew up in the 50s. It was kind of fun to watch

00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:43.820
it with her. It's one of those rare films that

00:40:43.820 --> 00:40:46.780
we both enjoyed. Also, I always love the irony

00:40:46.780 --> 00:40:52.280
that the DeLorean was such a flop of a car. And

00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:56.420
because of that movie, I think Gen Xers all think

00:40:56.420 --> 00:40:59.739
it's the coolest car ever made. It's ironic because

00:40:59.739 --> 00:41:01.820
anyone older than us thinks it's garbage. And

00:41:01.820 --> 00:41:03.400
we're like, but it's the Back to the Future car.

00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:06.679
So cool. No, it's so cool. Come on, it's so cool.

00:41:07.449 --> 00:41:10.949
It's okay. You put, and Walmart did this a while,

00:41:11.050 --> 00:41:13.590
a couple of years ago, Walmart, when they did

00:41:13.590 --> 00:41:17.670
their Walmart, like Walmart plus ad a couple

00:41:17.670 --> 00:41:20.710
of years ago, they had back to the future. They

00:41:20.710 --> 00:41:23.230
had ghostbusters. They had kit from night. They

00:41:23.230 --> 00:41:25.969
had all these eighties cars show up for Walmart

00:41:25.969 --> 00:41:31.010
plus like pickup and whatever. Oh God, just so

00:41:31.010 --> 00:41:34.210
good. And there was a thing, I forget where it

00:41:34.210 --> 00:41:37.659
was. Was it for the 35th anniversary, maybe,

00:41:37.699 --> 00:41:42.019
or the 30th anniversary? I'll probably throw

00:41:42.019 --> 00:41:43.880
the audio in here somewhere because I think I

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:49.300
have it, but there was an ad for something where

00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:52.400
it was Christopher Lloyd. This is years ago now.

00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:56.440
Great start. If my calculations are correct,

00:41:56.500 --> 00:42:03.099
it is now precisely October 21st, 2015. The future

00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:06.690
has finally arrived. Yes, it is different than

00:42:06.690 --> 00:42:09.530
we all thought. But don't worry. It just means

00:42:09.530 --> 00:42:12.690
your future hasn't been written yet. No one's

00:42:12.690 --> 00:42:17.090
has. Your future is whatever you make it. So

00:42:17.090 --> 00:42:20.329
make it a good one. But it was him getting in

00:42:20.329 --> 00:42:23.670
and out of the DeLorean and doing his famous

00:42:23.670 --> 00:42:27.449
line, you know, the future hasn't been written

00:42:27.449 --> 00:42:30.230
yet. No one's has. So whatever your future, you

00:42:30.230 --> 00:42:33.070
know, the line. I don't remember the whole line.

00:42:33.090 --> 00:42:35.489
That's from part three. Yeah, okay. okay but

00:42:35.489 --> 00:42:38.630
the point is like i don't care what part it was

00:42:38.630 --> 00:42:41.210
from it's from back to the future they all run

00:42:41.210 --> 00:42:45.550
together they're a whole i'm rolling my eyes

00:42:45.550 --> 00:42:48.949
at you i know and this year is the 40th anniversary

00:42:48.949 --> 00:42:52.110
of back to the future and we are later in this

00:42:52.110 --> 00:42:55.489
podcast going to cover dave and i are going to

00:42:55.489 --> 00:43:06.519
cover all three huh what what what Later on in

00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:10.360
this podcast, not one day, later on this year,

00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:12.340
before the end of the year, Dave and I are going

00:43:12.340 --> 00:43:15.940
to review all three films. Yes, here on the Geekcast

00:43:15.940 --> 00:43:18.619
Radio Network, we have reviewed all three films

00:43:18.619 --> 00:43:22.480
in the past. Hell, that is how the very first

00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:24.860
movie podcast on the Geekcast Radio Network,

00:43:25.059 --> 00:43:27.780
Movie Weekend Review, started. We reviewed the

00:43:27.780 --> 00:43:31.099
entire trilogy on Movie Weekend Review back in

00:43:31.099 --> 00:43:35.710
the day, in 2009. But since it's been 17 damn

00:43:35.710 --> 00:43:38.730
years, and everybody else who has already talked

00:43:38.730 --> 00:43:41.130
about it in the past has talked about it in the

00:43:41.130 --> 00:43:43.090
past, we're going to talk about it in the future.

00:43:43.329 --> 00:43:45.210
But yeah, Back to the Future, simply amazing.

00:43:45.550 --> 00:43:48.110
All right, 1986, what do you got? 1986 was a

00:43:48.110 --> 00:43:51.670
rough one. Well, it was, because there were two

00:43:51.670 --> 00:43:54.570
films that I really loved. As I was saying earlier

00:43:54.570 --> 00:43:57.269
with 84, how there were all these big guns before

00:43:57.269 --> 00:44:00.230
that. This was one of the big guns years. Really?

00:44:00.550 --> 00:44:04.510
Yes. So the film I didn't choose was Big Trouble

00:44:04.510 --> 00:44:07.050
in Little China, which I absolutely adore. I've

00:44:07.050 --> 00:44:09.670
got the poster right here. John Carpenter, weird,

00:44:09.769 --> 00:44:12.269
crazy kung fu movie. Oh, God, what's his name?

00:44:12.670 --> 00:44:15.789
Kurt. Kurt Russell. I started this list of 19

00:44:15.789 --> 00:44:18.469
to everyone, remember? There was an onion tied

00:44:18.469 --> 00:44:20.429
to my belt, as was the fashion at the time. Kurt

00:44:20.429 --> 00:44:24.190
Russell is like a sidekick in his own movie.

00:44:24.329 --> 00:44:27.190
It's amazing. For someone who doesn't like comedies,

00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:30.840
It is a funny damn movie. But I had to go, like,

00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:33.699
again, another top five movie for me came out

00:44:33.699 --> 00:44:35.280
that year. And as I was saying earlier, I have

00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.239
a friend who's obsessed with Alien. And in 1986,

00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:39.519
he took us to the movie theater in the mall and

00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:43.599
got us in past the tickets. He was a little older

00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:48.920
than we were. And Aliens. Cheers, Cameron. Tony

00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:52.440
Weaver. I love that movie. That is one of my

00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:55.429
top five movies in general. I keep talking about

00:44:55.429 --> 00:44:57.010
movie posters. That one's downstairs with the

00:44:57.010 --> 00:45:01.769
collection. Cool. I think the thing is, I like

00:45:01.769 --> 00:45:05.309
stuff. It's like Back to the Future and Big Trouble

00:45:05.309 --> 00:45:07.349
in Little China are comedies. They're funny movies.

00:45:09.250 --> 00:45:12.429
There's sci -fi. There's fantasy. There's action.

00:45:12.829 --> 00:45:15.730
They're not just comedies. They're mixed in with

00:45:15.730 --> 00:45:20.530
it. And Aliens is absolutely... It's got horror

00:45:20.530 --> 00:45:23.389
elements. It's got monster elements, but it's

00:45:23.389 --> 00:45:26.510
an action movie. I think I do like action -adventure

00:45:26.510 --> 00:45:31.210
movies. I love everything about the Colonial

00:45:31.210 --> 00:45:33.489
Marines. I love the outfits. I love the gear.

00:45:33.690 --> 00:45:37.250
I love the dropship. I love the... I can't remember

00:45:37.250 --> 00:45:40.690
the name of the vehicle now. The ATV. It is one

00:45:40.690 --> 00:45:43.690
of my... I love the Queen. One of the things

00:45:43.690 --> 00:45:45.190
I don't like about the way the franchise has

00:45:45.190 --> 00:45:48.369
gone is Ridley Scott does not like that movie.

00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:53.579
And if you notice, they've kind of moved away

00:45:53.579 --> 00:45:56.539
from the queen. They don't really mention her

00:45:56.539 --> 00:45:58.940
anymore. She's not really like, it's all about

00:45:58.940 --> 00:46:02.840
the black goo. I'm aware of the scene from the

00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.280
original Alien that was cut from the film. You

00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:07.179
find out that the alien created its own eggs.

00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.239
It wasn't killing people, it was capturing people

00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:14.199
to turn them into eggs. Which is neat, but I

00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.099
like monsters, I like monster designs. Aliens,

00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:21.420
1986. Again, if I were doing a top five movies

00:46:21.420 --> 00:46:24.699
of all time, Aliens and Wrath of Khan would both

00:46:24.699 --> 00:46:28.119
be up there. 1987. This one was hard for another

00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.659
reason, because it was just like, I mean, I saw

00:46:30.659 --> 00:46:34.360
movies, but... So I kind of went with Robocop.

00:46:35.619 --> 00:46:39.559
I like Robocop. I think it's a good movie. Which

00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:45.079
is hard for me. But yeah, Robocop. Not much else

00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:50.099
to say. It was Robocop. 1988. We were just talking

00:46:50.099 --> 00:46:53.599
about this series. A little film called Die Hard.

00:46:55.579 --> 00:47:00.079
Great film. And it is not either It nor Gremlins

00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.199
are goddamn Christmas movies. They're movies

00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:07.880
that take place at Christmas. They're not movies

00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:13.199
about Christmas. no i think i think that's the

00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.239
thing where nerds just want like recognition

00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:17.920
and acknowledgement and like this movie i like

00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:20.340
it's a christmas movie it's like no no it's not

00:47:20.340 --> 00:47:24.679
so the interesting yes so the interesting thing

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:30.280
what i found out because up until this past july

00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:32.699
even though we're still recording this in july

00:47:33.179 --> 00:47:36.019
July 2025, when Steve Megatron and I recorded

00:47:36.019 --> 00:47:41.360
episode 141 to 145 of this podcast, when we went

00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:44.719
through all five films, the first three films,

00:47:45.059 --> 00:47:51.079
Die Hard, Harder, and Vengeance. Yep. All three

00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:54.739
of those take place within a year of each other.

00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:58.199
So Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Harder is a year

00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:00.880
later. And then With a Vengeance is a year later

00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:05.260
from Die Hard 2. And I think I said in the With

00:48:05.260 --> 00:48:07.579
a Vengeance episode, I'm like, holy crap, this

00:48:07.579 --> 00:48:10.920
is John Wick before John Wick. Now, the reason

00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:13.559
why I said that was because, and I said that

00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.739
in the episode, was because I believe, if I'm

00:48:16.739 --> 00:48:19.099
not mistaken, the John Wick movies take place

00:48:19.099 --> 00:48:23.619
within like X number of hours or days of each

00:48:23.619 --> 00:48:27.980
other kind of thing. The first three kind of

00:48:27.980 --> 00:48:30.300
do, yeah. Right, right. The first three. That's

00:48:30.300 --> 00:48:32.900
what I'm saying. The first, you know, yeah. I

00:48:32.900 --> 00:48:35.159
know two and three, like, the time between them

00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:37.880
is immediate. It's like, boom. Yes, it's immediate.

00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.960
But, like, the first one to the second one. Yeah,

00:48:40.980 --> 00:48:42.460
yeah, yeah. It's been a little while since I've

00:48:42.460 --> 00:48:45.079
seen those. Yeah, so, yeah, absolutely. Die Hard,

00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.519
excellent movie that takes place at Christmas

00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:50.460
from 1988. 1989 was another one that I didn't

00:48:50.460 --> 00:48:55.340
even check the list for. Yeah, it's easy. Na

00:48:55.340 --> 00:48:57.380
-na -na -na -na -na -na -na -na -na -na -na -na

00:48:57.380 --> 00:49:02.469
-na. I'm Batman. That's the TV show. I know it's

00:49:02.469 --> 00:49:04.690
the TV show, but I don't know how to hum the

00:49:04.690 --> 00:49:09.210
Danny Elfman theme. I saw that opening night

00:49:09.210 --> 00:49:11.309
in a theater. That was one of those movies that

00:49:11.309 --> 00:49:14.610
got me really addicted to seeing movies in the

00:49:14.610 --> 00:49:18.449
theater. There was 300 Batman fans just going

00:49:18.449 --> 00:49:23.949
crazy. It was amazing. I loved it. I had just

00:49:23.949 --> 00:49:27.159
gotten into comics the year before. I wasn't

00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:28.920
really into comics before that, but I just got

00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:30.820
into it with Dark Knight Returns and Year One

00:49:30.820 --> 00:49:35.179
and Killing Joe. That movie hit like a... I was

00:49:35.179 --> 00:49:38.480
kind of in the same boat that Tim Burton was.

00:49:38.699 --> 00:49:40.340
I didn't realize Batman wasn't supposed to be

00:49:40.340 --> 00:49:43.780
shooting people. It didn't bother me. It didn't

00:49:43.780 --> 00:49:45.780
bother me that the Batmobile had Gatling guns.

00:49:46.699 --> 00:49:48.679
Later on, I was like, oh wait, that's wrong.

00:49:49.260 --> 00:49:55.000
At the time, I was like, cool! I love... I love...

00:49:55.530 --> 00:49:57.909
I think Batman, the first one is the best, my

00:49:57.909 --> 00:50:01.090
favorite in my opinion, because I think Burton

00:50:01.090 --> 00:50:03.489
was a little more reigned in. So you got like

00:50:03.489 --> 00:50:06.670
a cool Burton flavor to everything, but it wasn't

00:50:06.670 --> 00:50:10.190
full Burton. Yeah. I think Returns was a little

00:50:10.190 --> 00:50:13.769
full Burton. Yeah, it was. Which I think kind

00:50:13.769 --> 00:50:17.250
of harmed, definitely harmed the Penguin. Weirdly,

00:50:17.250 --> 00:50:19.650
I am not a big fan of the Catwoman outfit with

00:50:19.650 --> 00:50:23.710
the stitches. I'm not. Oh, wow. In 1990, it was

00:50:23.710 --> 00:50:29.090
another one I changed. Technically, the first

00:50:29.090 --> 00:50:33.489
half of 1990 was in college. My freshman year

00:50:33.489 --> 00:50:36.610
was 89 to 90. And it's weird to think that these

00:50:36.610 --> 00:50:38.969
two movies came out in 90. Because I always remember

00:50:38.969 --> 00:50:43.090
them being early in my college situation. But

00:50:43.090 --> 00:50:46.510
two weeks in a row, we went to the theater. The

00:50:46.510 --> 00:50:50.719
first week, we saw Goodfellas. Yep. And then

00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:53.619
the second week, we saw My Blue Heaven, which

00:50:53.619 --> 00:50:57.119
is my choice. Okay. 1990. My Blue Heaven was

00:50:57.119 --> 00:51:00.440
apparently, like, the script was written by a

00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.179
woman who was living with a guy who wrote the

00:51:02.179 --> 00:51:05.860
script for Goodfellas. Oh, wow. And it plays

00:51:05.860 --> 00:51:09.360
like a sequel to Goodfellas. To Goodfellas, yeah.

00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:12.400
It is absolutely, like, Henry Hill ends up in

00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:14.960
the little suburban community, except he's Steve

00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.880
Martin, and he just, like, just destroys, like,

00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:21.780
and he finds out the whole place is, like, with

00:51:21.780 --> 00:51:25.599
former mob guys. And it's funny. It's charming.

00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:28.400
Rick Moranis is great in that film. Everybody's

00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:32.860
great in that film. It's a fun film. Yeah. Former

00:51:32.860 --> 00:51:37.500
gangster Vincent Vinnie Antonelli I'm a new man.

00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:41.039
is being placed under federal protection. Not

00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:44.659
the old me. Hidden in suburbia. This is the new

00:51:44.659 --> 00:51:48.769
me. assigned his own personal FBI agent. Now,

00:51:48.769 --> 00:51:50.469
this is a real nice house. It's one of the nicest

00:51:50.469 --> 00:51:53.190
we've ever moved anyone like you into. Wow. Oh,

00:51:53.210 --> 00:51:57.469
my blue heaven, 1990. 1991, another... Part of

00:51:57.469 --> 00:51:58.750
it is I have a story for almost every film on

00:51:58.750 --> 00:52:00.929
this list. Because otherwise, why would it be

00:52:00.929 --> 00:52:03.530
on the list? Exactly, that's the point. That's

00:52:03.530 --> 00:52:06.949
the point. When I was in high school, I had a

00:52:06.949 --> 00:52:08.789
buddy telling me about these books he was reading.

00:52:09.190 --> 00:52:11.110
Specifically, I think at the time it was Red

00:52:11.110 --> 00:52:13.429
Dragon. And he was telling me about, you know...

00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:16.920
you know, Hannibal Lecter, and this crazy serial

00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:18.920
killer who was, you know, blah, blah, blah. If

00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:22.679
you know the story of Red Dragon. And they made

00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:25.000
it into a movie, which was called Mindhunter.

00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:26.739
I believe it was called Mindhunter. Which starred

00:52:26.739 --> 00:52:30.139
the guy who ended up going on to, um, Isai, I

00:52:30.139 --> 00:52:31.880
think? And I remember watching that movie and,

00:52:31.900 --> 00:52:37.679
uh, what's his name? Brian Cox, I believe, was

00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:40.280
Lecter in that one. I remember seeing it, and

00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:41.820
I was like, oh, I remember seeing it on TV, and

00:52:41.820 --> 00:52:43.940
I was like, oh, that's neat. So anyway, Flash

00:52:43.940 --> 00:52:47.440
forward to 1991 and my friends in college and

00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:48.679
I are going to go see a movie. They're dragging

00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:52.719
me to go see a movie. The poster has Jodi, what's

00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:56.639
her name, with a butterfly over her mouth. I'm

00:52:56.639 --> 00:52:58.619
literally sitting there in the theater watching

00:52:58.619 --> 00:53:02.599
it play. At one point they go, Hannibal Lecter.

00:53:02.659 --> 00:53:04.840
And I'm like, Hannibal the Cannibal? Because

00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:08.239
I literally never heard the second book. I didn't

00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:09.880
know that this was a sequel to Red Dragon. I

00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:11.960
didn't know anything about that. But just literally

00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:13.639
in the middle of this theater in New York, I

00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:15.539
was like, Hannibal the Cannibal? And then she's

00:53:15.539 --> 00:53:17.500
like, Hannibal the Cannibal? Everyone's looking

00:53:17.500 --> 00:53:20.780
at me like, what? So yeah, Silence of the Lambs.

00:53:21.139 --> 00:53:24.099
It's a great film. I remember Oscars night the

00:53:24.099 --> 00:53:28.659
next year. We were cheering for it and making

00:53:28.659 --> 00:53:32.079
a big ruckus in my allegedly quiet dorm. All

00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:35.340
the people who usually kept us up all night were

00:53:35.340 --> 00:53:38.280
mad that we were screaming and cheering and acting

00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:43.920
crazy. 1992. Another tough one. This almost was

00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:45.780
my second Western, Unforgiven. Unforgiven's a

00:53:45.780 --> 00:53:49.079
great film, but I gotta go with my heart. It's

00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:50.420
another one that I saw with my buddies in college.

00:53:50.980 --> 00:53:55.360
Queen's World. Even though, by the time I graduated,

00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:58.320
I was ready to strangle anyone who went, that's

00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:02.889
what she said. They ran that crap into the ground.

00:54:03.469 --> 00:54:06.590
But yeah, it was fun. Again, it was a fun one,

00:54:06.650 --> 00:54:11.769
even though Dana Carvey looks like my age, but

00:54:11.769 --> 00:54:13.329
he was playing a teenager. It was a little creepy

00:54:13.329 --> 00:54:17.530
and weird. I would say Steve Carell has run that

00:54:17.530 --> 00:54:19.690
into the ground more than Wayne's World ever

00:54:19.690 --> 00:54:22.929
did. I never really watched The Office. Yeah,

00:54:22.989 --> 00:54:26.769
I understand that, but... You can't be on the

00:54:26.769 --> 00:54:29.969
internet and not run into that somewhere, somehow,

00:54:30.230 --> 00:54:33.909
some way. Okay, but this was 1992. I understand

00:54:33.909 --> 00:54:34.769
that. I'm saying now, though. We didn't even

00:54:34.769 --> 00:54:37.969
have the internet. I understand that. I'm talking

00:54:37.969 --> 00:54:40.909
about now, though. Now it's different. Yeah,

00:54:40.969 --> 00:54:42.230
I know. I don't have to deal with those people.

00:54:42.469 --> 00:54:44.090
This guy was my best friend. I wanted to murder

00:54:44.090 --> 00:54:47.110
him. That's what she said. That's what she said.

00:54:47.170 --> 00:54:53.050
That's right. 1998? 1998? Wait, wait. 98? All

00:54:53.050 --> 00:54:56.880
right. My bad. My bad. My bad. 93. I'm looking!

00:54:57.099 --> 00:55:00.300
Well, okay, first of all, we've already discussed

00:55:00.300 --> 00:55:04.000
93, and if you don't know, again, I'm literally

00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:08.320
looking at a shrine that I built on the back

00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:12.340
of a piece of furniture for a little movie called

00:55:12.340 --> 00:55:16.940
Jurassic Park. Yes. I can't remember if I said

00:55:16.940 --> 00:55:18.539
this in the recording or not, but I wanted to

00:55:18.539 --> 00:55:20.559
go with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 just to

00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:24.480
troll people. But Jurassic Park, like, literally...

00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:26.960
I mean, I don't know how dark we want to get

00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:29.780
on this podcast, but my senior year was rough,

00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:33.139
emotionally. And one of the things that got me

00:55:33.139 --> 00:55:36.000
through it was the promise of seeing Jurassic

00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:40.260
Park. And to this day, when I see the brachiosaur

00:55:40.260 --> 00:55:43.880
and the music swells, I get misty -eyed. It was

00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:47.659
like... Because it was... I've always been a

00:55:47.659 --> 00:55:50.659
huge dinosaur nut. I was like Alan Grant. I'm

00:55:50.659 --> 00:55:54.800
like, It's a dinosaur. Jurassic Park was always

00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:59.880
going to win. I don't care how... The only way

00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:01.460
it could have lost was if it was up against a

00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:04.079
classic Star Wars, which it was not. Yeah, exactly.

00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:07.300
I remember blowing up finals the year the book

00:56:07.300 --> 00:56:09.239
came out. I blew up my studying for finals to

00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:12.159
read the book. I remember reading an article

00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.019
in Entertainment Weekly that this book had been

00:56:15.019 --> 00:56:18.119
up for... It wasn't even published yet, but...

00:56:18.329 --> 00:56:20.250
Everyone was bidding for the rights to make the

00:56:20.250 --> 00:56:21.789
movie, and Steven Spielberg won. And I was like,

00:56:22.110 --> 00:56:24.909
it's a book about dinosaurs. Well, then they

00:56:24.909 --> 00:56:26.630
came out right before finals, which was bad for

00:56:26.630 --> 00:56:32.170
me. I did not do well in college. Oh, stop. No,

00:56:32.289 --> 00:56:35.710
I barely graduated. Oh, man. But you graduated.

00:56:36.130 --> 00:56:38.630
It's better than I did in college. At Nick Lee?

00:56:38.849 --> 00:56:45.019
No. uh i think it's episode 68 of this podcast

00:56:45.019 --> 00:56:47.940
of studio 2009 where we discussed jurassic park

00:56:47.940 --> 00:56:50.480
so if you all want to hear dave's full gushing

00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:55.760
of jurassic park and my somewhat positive thoughts

00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:58.280
on the movie i don't believe the kids use the

00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:01.659
word glazing these days but yes glazing exactly

00:57:01.659 --> 00:57:07.840
glazed over because by 93 i was 13 and i was

00:57:09.219 --> 00:57:11.880
Out of my dinosaur phase and into my Power Rangers

00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:15.159
phase. Also, you don't like scary movies, which

00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:18.420
is fair. Yeah, I don't do. Mr. I don't do genres.

00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:23.079
You don't like scary movies. Not really. It's

00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:24.639
not a criticism. I'm not making fun of you. That's

00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:27.280
just a thing I've learned about you. When a guy

00:57:27.280 --> 00:57:31.519
with giant metal nails and a face that looks

00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:36.250
like, you know. Worse than a trash can scares

00:57:36.250 --> 00:57:39.590
you in 1985. Oh God, it's the 40th anniversary

00:57:39.590 --> 00:57:42.610
of Nightmare on Elm Street. Jesus Christ. 1994,

00:57:42.989 --> 00:57:47.449
what do you got? 1994 is another favorite of

00:57:47.449 --> 00:57:51.449
mine. It's The Usual Suspects. It's a great crime

00:57:51.449 --> 00:57:54.530
drama. It's a great Kevin Spacey performance.

00:57:54.789 --> 00:57:56.929
I know we don't like him anymore, but he was

00:57:56.929 --> 00:58:00.039
brilliant as Verbal Kint. And the main reason

00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:03.059
I love that movie is it reminded me a lot, this

00:58:03.059 --> 00:58:04.940
is going to sound strange, of like the, you know,

00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:07.420
we played like D &D and D &D type games in college

00:58:07.420 --> 00:58:10.360
a lot. And, you know, now it's a big thing and

00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:13.480
people like watch role plays on YouTube. But

00:58:13.480 --> 00:58:15.179
there's a moment in that movie where like they're

00:58:15.179 --> 00:58:17.800
kind of put in a corner by this lawyer, Kobayashi.

00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:21.059
And then Kent says to the guy that's interviewing

00:58:21.059 --> 00:58:23.679
him, we decided to kill the lawyer. It's just

00:58:23.679 --> 00:58:28.579
like, like that is a player move. That is a like.

00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:31.500
oh, this lawyer was telling us that if we didn't

00:58:31.500 --> 00:58:33.960
do what he wanted us to do, we would be killed.

00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:38.340
We decided to kill the lawyer. It's great. The

00:58:38.340 --> 00:58:43.880
last shot of that movie is brilliant. It's a

00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:53.340
good film. 1996. 95, man. I told you I didn't

00:58:53.340 --> 00:58:54.920
do well in college. I told you I didn't do well

00:58:54.920 --> 00:58:57.480
in college. Yeah, yeah. When we get to my choices,

00:58:57.719 --> 00:59:00.280
95 is going to be a bloodbath for me because

00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:03.599
just off the top of my head, I can think of Money

00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:08.599
Train, Drop Zone. There's a whole slew of stuff

00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:11.880
in 90. Judge, God, there's a whole slew. The

00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:15.579
Stallone? Okay. Yeah, Stallone. I know, rule

00:59:15.579 --> 00:59:24.320
number two. 1995, Toy Story. Yeah. Just a great

00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:27.320
film. It really... I don't think it was the first...

00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:30.000
I always get mixed up with Bugs Lightyear, but

00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:31.820
it was the first Pixar, right? Yes, it was the

00:59:31.820 --> 00:59:35.260
first Pixar. Yes, it was. I thought it was a

00:59:35.260 --> 00:59:38.739
great film. I enjoyed it. I will talk more about

00:59:38.739 --> 00:59:44.239
it in a minute. Okay. 1996. Birdcage. When I

00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:48.860
was a kid... I was, well, pre -teen, whatever.

00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:51.480
They used to show La Cage Aux Folles, which is

00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:55.300
the French original version of this movie on

00:59:55.300 --> 01:00:00.980
HBO or whatever. But yeah, Robin Williams, Nathan

01:00:00.980 --> 01:00:05.500
Lane. It's a great film. It's very funny and

01:00:05.500 --> 01:00:07.239
touching and human. Gene Hackman's in it. He's

01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:12.199
really good. I really like that movie. I haven't

01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:13.480
seen it in a long time, so I don't have a lot

01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:15.909
more to say. Yeah, yeah. Which brings us to 97,

01:00:16.210 --> 01:00:20.090
which is we had Jurassic Park, so we've got to

01:00:20.090 --> 01:00:23.150
have the lost world, Jurassic Park. As I believe,

01:00:23.250 --> 01:00:26.030
you'll give the episode number in a minute, but

01:00:26.030 --> 01:00:29.570
I believe as I said on that episode, as a movie,

01:00:29.750 --> 01:00:32.809
I almost like it more than Jurassic Park. Jurassic

01:00:32.809 --> 01:00:35.710
Park has a very big emotional connection to me,

01:00:35.849 --> 01:00:42.079
but as a movie, I think it has issues. And Lost

01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:45.260
World does too, but I don't know. It's when Spielberg

01:00:45.260 --> 01:00:49.159
got meaner, and I kind of like mean Spielberg.

01:00:50.659 --> 01:00:52.900
War of the Worlds is kind of a fun movie because

01:00:52.900 --> 01:00:56.519
he's just sadistic as hell, and it's great. But

01:00:56.519 --> 01:01:00.039
yeah, I really like The Lost World. It's a very

01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:08.599
fun movie. So, we did them kind of, sort of,

01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:12.659
combination? Because we did them as movies that

01:01:12.659 --> 01:01:16.739
I had not had seen. Yeah, because you don't like

01:01:16.739 --> 01:01:22.659
scary movies. Yeah, and I'm sorry. Giant boulders

01:01:22.659 --> 01:01:26.320
scare me. Giant boulders scare me. Episode 84

01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:34.030
of Studio 2009, Raiders of the Lost World. Episode

01:01:34.030 --> 01:01:37.030
84 of Studio 2009. TFU and Mike and David Draper

01:01:37.030 --> 01:01:39.210
as they bring you a double feature film selection

01:01:39.210 --> 01:01:41.590
for the first time ever on the podcast. We present

01:01:41.590 --> 01:01:44.469
to you Raiders of the Lost World. This double

01:01:44.469 --> 01:01:46.309
feature is all about Raiders of the Lost Ark

01:01:46.309 --> 01:01:50.590
and the Lost World Jurassic Park. I just love

01:01:50.590 --> 01:01:59.269
saying that. 1998 is another Spielberg movie.

01:01:59.690 --> 01:02:03.559
Saving Private Ryan. Which I don't really have

01:02:03.559 --> 01:02:05.820
a lot to say about it. I just like it, and it

01:02:05.820 --> 01:02:12.699
was really well done. Yep. Private Ryan, and

01:02:12.699 --> 01:02:15.739
I assume 99 is Toy Story 2, which is where you'll

01:02:15.739 --> 01:02:18.679
have more to say about... Oh, yes. Toy Story

01:02:18.679 --> 01:02:21.239
2 is another one of those top five movies. I

01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:26.260
love... There's a moment when Big Al is looking

01:02:26.260 --> 01:02:30.389
at Woody at the yard sale. Yep. And he has a

01:02:30.389 --> 01:02:33.409
line, if only you had your hand -stitched polyvinyl.

01:02:34.010 --> 01:02:39.949
Yeah. Every toy collector on Earth knows that

01:02:39.949 --> 01:02:44.090
moment. Yeah. Oh, look, the rare accessory. He's

01:02:44.090 --> 01:02:46.690
got it. Like, the way that Wayne Knight does

01:02:46.690 --> 01:02:49.570
his voice is brilliant. And just everything about

01:02:49.570 --> 01:02:52.949
that movie, like the bit with Zurg and the fact

01:02:52.949 --> 01:02:55.710
that Stinky Pete is the villain and he's gone

01:02:55.710 --> 01:02:58.849
insane because he's been left mitten box. It's

01:02:58.849 --> 01:03:01.840
just... I'm a toy collector. I'm a toy nerd.

01:03:02.179 --> 01:03:06.599
It is so full of little things that toy nerds

01:03:06.599 --> 01:03:12.940
click with. And this is 1999. So this is... Okay,

01:03:13.019 --> 01:03:17.599
so this is before... This is before Oh My Stars

01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:20.719
and Garters. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So this

01:03:20.719 --> 01:03:25.900
is after... This is Frasier after Cheers. And

01:03:25.900 --> 01:03:29.320
I'm just like... Oh, it's Frasier as a villain.

01:03:29.500 --> 01:03:34.780
Damn. I think depending on the episode, Frasier

01:03:34.780 --> 01:03:38.000
was the villain. Okay, but all right. To be fair,

01:03:38.099 --> 01:03:46.039
but I'm saying like, again, coming from the way

01:03:46.039 --> 01:03:49.619
that I grew up and watching the character, because

01:03:49.619 --> 01:03:53.309
again, I will say in every episode. For me as

01:03:53.309 --> 01:03:55.710
a kid, and I'm sure for you as well, but I'm

01:03:55.710 --> 01:03:56.849
not going to speak for you, but I'm going to

01:03:56.849 --> 01:04:00.110
say for me, it was about the fiction. It was

01:04:00.110 --> 01:04:02.769
about the fictional characters. It was not about

01:04:02.769 --> 01:04:06.369
the real people. It was not about when the people

01:04:06.369 --> 01:04:11.090
took the face. It wasn't about when Tom Cruise

01:04:11.090 --> 01:04:15.190
pulled off the face mask. It was about the stuff

01:04:15.190 --> 01:04:20.500
on the screen. So having... Tim Voice. Stinky

01:04:20.500 --> 01:04:24.940
Pete. Oh, man. Toy Story 2. And, yeah, you're

01:04:24.940 --> 01:04:27.539
right. Wayne Knight. Holy crap. The Toy Collector

01:04:27.539 --> 01:04:30.059
was one of the villains. Yep. Best movie ever.

01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:32.760
Crazy. Absolutely. Definitely a beloved movie.

01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:35.639
Maybe forever. Woody, you're not a collector's

01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:40.079
item. You're a child's plaything. You are a toy.

01:04:40.619 --> 01:04:42.719
Absolutely. Another movie that I actually, like,

01:04:42.739 --> 01:04:46.280
I kind of have a lot in my heart for, but it

01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:47.760
doesn't really come up a lot, is Best in Show.

01:04:48.609 --> 01:04:52.190
Oh, interesting. It was one of those... Oh, I

01:04:52.190 --> 01:04:55.670
can't remember. Christopher Guest, I want to

01:04:55.670 --> 01:05:01.030
say? He did a series of mock documentaries. This

01:05:01.030 --> 01:05:03.670
is Spinal Tap. It wasn't really his movie, but

01:05:03.670 --> 01:05:05.929
it's the most famous variation of that, and he

01:05:05.929 --> 01:05:08.309
was in it. But yeah, it's the one about dog shows.

01:05:08.889 --> 01:05:11.570
There was a woman in my life around that time,

01:05:11.690 --> 01:05:13.889
and we quoted that movie all the time. And to

01:05:13.889 --> 01:05:16.590
think, some of these beautiful dogs will be eaten.

01:05:19.420 --> 01:05:23.179
He played Harlan Pepper. Christopher Guest did.

01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:28.739
Eugene Levy starred... Eugene Levy was the star,

01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:30.860
yeah, because he had two left feet. Literally.

01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:35.039
He literally had... Both his feet were left feet.

01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:40.000
Is that real? Oh my god. Not in real life, in

01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:42.460
the movie. No, no, no, no. I'm not saying oh

01:05:42.460 --> 01:05:45.179
my god at that. I'm saying oh my god at oh my

01:05:45.179 --> 01:05:48.159
god. It's Kate McAllister. You get Catherine

01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:51.420
O 'Hara as Cookie Fleck. Yeah, she was in a lot

01:05:51.420 --> 01:05:55.099
of those. Yeah, no, no, absolutely. Michael McKeon's

01:05:55.099 --> 01:05:58.599
in it. Yeah, I remember his role. Parker Posey's

01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:01.460
in it. That was Christopher Guest. I was right.

01:06:02.420 --> 01:06:09.030
And most of that is Fred Willard. was the freaking

01:06:09.030 --> 01:06:12.010
gem of that. He was one of the commentating guys.

01:06:12.530 --> 01:06:16.070
The joke was that the other guy was really kind

01:06:16.070 --> 01:06:18.489
of well -versed in dog breeding and dog handling.

01:06:18.909 --> 01:06:21.510
He knew what he was talking about. And Fred Willard

01:06:21.510 --> 01:06:23.710
was like a hockey player or something. He was

01:06:23.710 --> 01:06:25.469
a sports guy. Brought in. And he was the guy

01:06:25.469 --> 01:06:26.690
who was like, and to think, in some places these

01:06:26.690 --> 01:06:30.409
beautiful animals are eaten. It's just an idiot.

01:06:31.349 --> 01:06:36.500
It's a very funny movie. Very cute. Speaking

01:06:36.500 --> 01:06:41.619
of Murder's Row, the next three years are dominated

01:06:41.619 --> 01:06:47.079
by Lord of the Rings. Fellowship, Two Towers,

01:06:47.139 --> 01:06:51.760
and Return of the King. I will say that Fellowship

01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:55.400
was particularly special to me because 1999,

01:06:55.739 --> 01:06:58.980
you may have noticed I picked Toy Story 2 and

01:06:58.980 --> 01:07:03.829
not Phantom Menace. Like many Star Wars fans

01:07:03.829 --> 01:07:06.590
who had grown up. I think there were kids that

01:07:06.590 --> 01:07:10.309
liked the prequels, but I was very disappointed

01:07:10.309 --> 01:07:15.369
by The Phantom Menace. And part of me felt a

01:07:15.369 --> 01:07:18.710
little burnt out by the time we get to 2001.

01:07:19.730 --> 01:07:24.369
And there's a moment in Fellowship that I really

01:07:24.369 --> 01:07:29.469
sort of rediscovered my love of movies. And got

01:07:29.469 --> 01:07:32.510
excited by a movie again. When they're racing

01:07:32.510 --> 01:07:35.090
through Moria and the Howard Shore soundtrack

01:07:35.090 --> 01:07:38.449
is blaring, I was like, this is what I remember

01:07:38.449 --> 01:07:40.949
from when I was a kid watching Star Wars. It's

01:07:40.949 --> 01:07:43.070
not the same movie, but just that excitement,

01:07:43.170 --> 01:07:46.969
that being caught up in the moment. So I do have

01:07:46.969 --> 01:07:50.329
a lot of love for those movies. And I think it

01:07:50.329 --> 01:07:52.949
helps that they were really well done. And we

01:07:52.949 --> 01:07:54.349
will never speak of the Hobbit movies because

01:07:54.349 --> 01:07:59.440
they are garbage. Speaking of well done, 2004.

01:08:00.260 --> 01:08:04.300
Spider -Man 2. Yes. Still the best superhero

01:08:04.300 --> 01:08:11.019
movie ever made. Come at me, bro. I will agree.

01:08:12.340 --> 01:08:17.260
Yes. And I will say, though, that... David likes

01:08:17.260 --> 01:08:22.340
being right. I will say, though, that the best

01:08:22.340 --> 01:08:26.739
culmination to... Oh, we'll get there. We'll

01:08:26.739 --> 01:08:28.800
get there. If you're jumping ahead, we'll get

01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:31.880
there. I'm pretty sure that's on the list. I'm

01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:33.319
pretty sure that's on the list, but just as a

01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:37.579
pure superhero movie. Okay, as a pure superhero

01:08:37.579 --> 01:08:40.899
movie, yes, fine. I want to go on a little tirade

01:08:40.899 --> 01:08:44.699
here about this, though, because when this was

01:08:44.699 --> 01:08:49.079
released on physical media, they released the

01:08:49.079 --> 01:08:50.680
two -point, because they do this all the time.

01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:53.880
They released the 2 .1 version, extended cut,

01:08:54.140 --> 01:08:56.920
extra scenes, whatever, whatever, whatever. Currently

01:08:56.920 --> 01:08:59.300
in 2025, they are releasing this, or they're

01:08:59.300 --> 01:09:01.039
about to release this, or they have released

01:09:01.039 --> 01:09:04.399
this, or they're going to, in theaters. Yeah,

01:09:04.420 --> 01:09:06.140
we just saw the trailer for that before Fantastic

01:09:06.140 --> 01:09:08.899
Four. Right, right, exactly. Yes, yes, yes. Okay,

01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:11.199
so they're going to release it or something,

01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:12.800
and by the time this episode airs... And Spider

01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:17.340
-Man 2 .1. Yeah. Yeah, as Spider -Man 2 .1. That's

01:09:17.340 --> 01:09:20.060
my point. So we're talking about Spider -Man

01:09:20.060 --> 01:09:23.779
2 .1, the extended cut of Spider -Man 2. So that's

01:09:23.779 --> 01:09:26.720
what we're talking about here. By the time this

01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:28.779
episode airs, it will have probably already been

01:09:28.779 --> 01:09:31.439
released and it'll be in the past and whatever.

01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:33.699
So fine, it's already been released. That's fine.

01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:37.079
But as of the sound of my voice, as of this recording,

01:09:37.319 --> 01:09:43.479
on July 25th, 2025, it has not been released

01:09:43.479 --> 01:09:48.130
yet. I see all these people who are younger than

01:09:48.130 --> 01:09:54.109
us on Instagram specifically. Oh, my God. They're

01:09:54.109 --> 01:09:57.970
releasing a new cut of Spider -Man 2. Oh, my

01:09:57.970 --> 01:10:00.729
God. We've never seen this before. Oh, my God.

01:10:00.750 --> 01:10:03.050
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And I understand all

01:10:03.050 --> 01:10:04.909
these people are younger than us. And I understand

01:10:04.909 --> 01:10:08.329
they may not have been alive in 2004. But Jesus,

01:10:08.529 --> 01:10:13.409
people, do some research. Spider -Man 2 .1. They're

01:10:13.409 --> 01:10:16.449
talking about this like they've had it. Children

01:10:16.449 --> 01:10:18.569
are stupid by definition. That's why school exists.

01:10:20.390 --> 01:10:22.729
Yeah, but the only problem is they're not learning

01:10:22.729 --> 01:10:25.770
anything in school anymore. I didn't want to

01:10:25.770 --> 01:10:28.949
make this political. As a general rule, children

01:10:28.949 --> 01:10:32.170
are stupid. I'm not making it political at all.

01:10:32.250 --> 01:10:35.109
I'm just stating a fact. They've removed certain

01:10:35.109 --> 01:10:40.529
programs and certain classes in school. Children

01:10:40.529 --> 01:10:42.489
aren't learning anything in school anymore. They're

01:10:42.489 --> 01:10:44.569
learning to look at their screens. That's all

01:10:44.569 --> 01:10:47.829
they're learning. It was the beginning of the

01:10:47.829 --> 01:10:49.890
Nolan trilogy, although we didn't know that yet.

01:10:50.590 --> 01:10:53.689
Batman begins and I have an asterisk because

01:10:53.689 --> 01:10:59.550
I am not... This was about a year where there

01:10:59.550 --> 01:11:02.409
was weak competition. As much as I love Batman,

01:11:02.750 --> 01:11:07.390
I'm weird. I think the Nolan films are good.

01:11:07.829 --> 01:11:09.869
I mean, the first two are good. And the third

01:11:09.869 --> 01:11:16.710
one is watchable. And Bane is amazing. I don't

01:11:16.710 --> 01:11:18.689
love them. I think that's why there's an asterisk

01:11:18.689 --> 01:11:20.390
there, because I couldn't find anything else

01:11:20.390 --> 01:11:27.270
for that year. Yeah. I love The Dark Knight as

01:11:27.270 --> 01:11:32.210
a singular film. Yes, I understand the end of

01:11:32.210 --> 01:11:36.149
Batman Begins leads into The Dark Knight. That's

01:11:36.149 --> 01:11:40.600
great. I know what you're saying. I wouldn't

01:11:40.600 --> 01:11:43.539
challenge you on that. My problem with the Nolan

01:11:43.539 --> 01:11:46.560
films is that Nolan really wanted to make James

01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:49.420
Bond films. Yeah, and he should have. It would

01:11:49.420 --> 01:11:53.020
take very little to change the Nolan Batman films

01:11:53.020 --> 01:11:56.359
into James Bond films. Oh, absolutely. Very little.

01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:02.500
Honestly, I don't know what in the hell Mr. G.

01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:05.399
Wilson and Ms. Broccoli, I don't know what in

01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:07.750
the hell they're doing. But I don't know why

01:12:07.750 --> 01:12:10.430
they haven't gone to him and asked him. He's

01:12:10.430 --> 01:12:12.989
making the Odyssey. Which, weirdly, I want to

01:12:12.989 --> 01:12:17.590
see. Okay, fine. Whatever. Look, man, I haven't...

01:12:17.590 --> 01:12:20.470
It's the greatest tale in the history of telling

01:12:20.470 --> 01:12:26.430
tales! You are a plebeian. No, I'm not a plebeian.

01:12:26.430 --> 01:12:30.989
Look, look. Again, for me... I've made my decision

01:12:30.989 --> 01:12:35.859
for 2006. Okay, wait. Hold on. I've cast the

01:12:35.859 --> 01:12:40.159
dice, sir. Hold on here. Idiocracy. This is my...

01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:44.920
What? Why? Idiocracy, sir. The world we live

01:12:44.920 --> 01:12:47.699
in now, apparently. Is that the movie, or is

01:12:47.699 --> 01:12:49.180
that you just saying idiocracy? No, that's the

01:12:49.180 --> 01:12:51.520
movie. My choice was between Idiocracy or Cars,

01:12:51.739 --> 01:12:55.359
which were literally the two films I saw in 2006.

01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:00.119
They came out in 2006. I'm sure I saw their movies,

01:13:00.239 --> 01:13:03.720
but... Yeah. And I think I had to dig deep for

01:13:03.720 --> 01:13:08.779
Idiocracy. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, and again,

01:13:08.899 --> 01:13:11.020
that's like I was saying with Batman Begins,

01:13:11.079 --> 01:13:15.100
ironically. I don't love either one, but like,

01:13:15.199 --> 01:13:21.220
I only saw those two movies. I gotta pick. I'll

01:13:21.220 --> 01:13:26.260
pick Idiocracy, because we're living in it. Now

01:13:26.260 --> 01:13:36.120
who's making it political? Me. Yeah, see? 2007.

01:13:36.120 --> 01:13:38.220
Actually, I think this is a really good film.

01:13:38.260 --> 01:13:40.460
I like this film. You're one of those people.

01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:45.260
Jesus Christ. It has so much... As someone who

01:13:45.260 --> 01:13:48.640
did... On our channel, we did toy reviews and

01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:51.000
stuff. It has something to say about criticism.

01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:52.960
It has something to say about art and creativity.

01:13:53.979 --> 01:13:59.399
You're one of those people. Jeez. It's... Rats

01:13:59.399 --> 01:14:04.239
cooking food, which is a health... Don't they

01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:07.520
make a point about them cleaning their paws or

01:14:07.520 --> 01:14:09.199
some shit? It's been a while since I've seen

01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:11.920
the film. I'm pretty sure they've bent over back.

01:14:12.140 --> 01:14:15.779
First of all, Remy didn't actually cook. He just

01:14:15.779 --> 01:14:19.079
yanked on the guy's hair and made him cook. He

01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:22.399
didn't actually put stuff in the... Okay. 2008.

01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:30.039
This was a hard one. The Dark Knight? No. It

01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:32.890
was either Iron Man or WALL -E. Oh, really? I

01:14:32.890 --> 01:14:37.090
went with WALL -E, I think. What? It's a great

01:14:37.090 --> 01:14:45.930
film. Okay. The 2000s were the Pixar years, man.

01:14:47.510 --> 01:14:50.250
Until the inappropriately named Good Dinosaur.

01:14:50.529 --> 01:14:56.489
The dinosaur was a dick. Someday we'll do a podcast

01:14:56.489 --> 01:14:58.390
where I do my rant about the Good Dinosaur, which

01:14:58.390 --> 01:15:00.310
is the most inappropriately named movie of all

01:15:00.310 --> 01:15:02.409
time. But yeah, but WALL -E, I think that was

01:15:02.409 --> 01:15:05.090
a great film. It was hard not to pick Iron Man.

01:15:05.130 --> 01:15:07.369
I have a lot of emotional attachment to Iron

01:15:07.369 --> 01:15:11.050
Man. I went to my first Comic -Con because of

01:15:11.050 --> 01:15:25.390
Iron Man. Truth is... I am Iron Man. I mentioned

01:15:25.390 --> 01:15:27.069
earlier that there were very few movies I was

01:15:27.069 --> 01:15:29.619
able to share with my mother. Right, Iron Man

01:15:29.619 --> 01:15:31.420
was one of them. Because she loved Robert Downey

01:15:31.420 --> 01:15:34.699
Jr. Right. And this is also the year before she

01:15:34.699 --> 01:15:39.840
died. I literally remember walking into the room

01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:42.119
one day, and she was watching the Iron Man cartoon

01:15:42.119 --> 01:15:46.060
from the 90s. Nice. With Robert Hayes. Yes, nice.

01:15:46.060 --> 01:15:50.460
And she is utterly at sea. Because they had the

01:15:50.460 --> 01:15:54.319
Mandarin as a green dude, and she has no idea

01:15:54.319 --> 01:15:57.260
what's going on. But it's Iron Man, and she loved

01:15:57.260 --> 01:16:01.779
it. Like, I love that move. I have a lot of emotional

01:16:01.779 --> 01:16:04.380
attachment to that movie, but I went with Wally.

01:16:04.779 --> 01:16:08.119
Tell me about it. My apologies, Murdoch. Your

01:16:08.119 --> 01:16:14.079
sacrifice will long be remembered. In the meantime,

01:16:14.199 --> 01:16:17.500
do try to stay alive. There's so much still to

01:16:17.500 --> 01:16:20.439
be done. Pray I'm never in a position to do it

01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:45.050
to you. Slowly. And now. Yeah. I do think it's

01:16:45.050 --> 01:16:50.569
a better film. Than Iron Man? They're different.

01:16:51.590 --> 01:16:53.130
We had this conversation at the beginning of

01:16:53.130 --> 01:16:54.770
the thing that they're different movies. They

01:16:54.770 --> 01:16:58.729
have different standards. It may also be that

01:16:58.729 --> 01:17:00.449
I've seen Iron Man a million times. I don't know.

01:17:00.869 --> 01:17:09.140
I picked what I picked. 2009. Up. Up. This movie

01:17:09.140 --> 01:17:12.439
came out right after my mom died. Right. And

01:17:12.439 --> 01:17:16.500
I remember my best friend at the time, I'd seen

01:17:16.500 --> 01:17:18.560
it before I did because I was a little wrapped

01:17:18.560 --> 01:17:21.760
up in things. Yeah. I won't go into the whole

01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:24.079
story, but I was like, I want to really see that

01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:26.479
movie up. And he's like, I don't know if you

01:17:26.479 --> 01:17:29.520
should. Because if you remember, the whole beginning

01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:31.300
of the movie is they become a couple and then

01:17:31.300 --> 01:17:33.560
she dies. But for me, it was very therapeutic.

01:17:33.659 --> 01:17:38.359
Okay. And the themes of seeking adventure. Obviously,

01:17:39.380 --> 01:17:42.500
being an old, rotting corpse of a man, I love

01:17:42.500 --> 01:17:44.079
the story about this old guy who finally has

01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:46.399
the adventure he always dreamed of. And Doug

01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:51.699
is love. I love Doug so much. I was hiding under

01:17:51.699 --> 01:17:55.439
the porch because I love you. Squirrel. I love

01:17:55.439 --> 01:18:01.399
Doug. It's such a great movie. The guys at Pixar

01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:05.000
were hitting on all thrusters. Back in those

01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:07.819
days. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's heartbreaking

01:18:07.819 --> 01:18:10.380
what's happened to them. Yeah. Up is a great,

01:18:10.439 --> 01:18:15.279
and then Michael Giancano score. Yeah. 2010 is

01:18:15.279 --> 01:18:17.699
another one where I was not super like, like

01:18:17.699 --> 01:18:20.539
the rule is I got to pick something. Yeah. It's

01:18:20.539 --> 01:18:22.159
a good film though. I picked the original how

01:18:22.159 --> 01:18:27.380
to turn your dragon. I like it. It's fun. The

01:18:27.380 --> 01:18:29.560
music's great. I have the soundtrack. I play

01:18:29.560 --> 01:18:33.270
it in the car a lot. Just again, I, I, I don't

01:18:33.270 --> 01:18:34.710
remember what else came out that year, because

01:18:34.710 --> 01:18:38.649
it was a fairly thin year. I mean, there was

01:18:38.649 --> 01:18:43.130
that stellar movie, Iron Man 2. Iron Man 2 wasn't

01:18:43.130 --> 01:18:48.050
very good. Iron Man 2 was not very good. But

01:18:48.050 --> 01:18:55.430
it had the Centurion armor! Come on! I love that

01:18:55.430 --> 01:19:00.449
it had the Silver Sphinx armor. I mean, what's

01:19:00.449 --> 01:19:04.250
her name? Scarlett Johansson was never hotter

01:19:04.250 --> 01:19:09.789
as Black Widow as she was in that film. But yeah,

01:19:09.909 --> 01:19:15.390
it was not a good film. 2011, now we get into

01:19:15.390 --> 01:19:18.869
the Marvel years. Pixar has had its run. 2011,

01:19:19.170 --> 01:19:21.810
this is a personal favorite. Again, it's subjective.

01:19:22.449 --> 01:19:26.250
Captain America, The First Avenger. I adore that

01:19:26.250 --> 01:19:30.369
movie. I adore Chris Evans as Captain America.

01:19:31.119 --> 01:19:35.739
I think he was fantastic. It's probably my favorite

01:19:35.739 --> 01:19:39.579
origin movie. Doing Time is a capsicle. I love

01:19:39.579 --> 01:19:41.199
that they actually had him punching Hitler. I

01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:43.140
mean, just the moment that it's in the play,

01:19:43.420 --> 01:19:45.720
but the fact that they had him punching Hitler,

01:19:45.939 --> 01:19:48.079
he does it like a million times. He's like, I

01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:51.340
punched Hitler 30 times. It's such a good film.

01:19:51.479 --> 01:19:53.260
Tommy Lee Jones is really good in it. You forget

01:19:53.260 --> 01:19:55.939
that he was in the Marvel universe. Because everybody

01:19:55.939 --> 01:19:57.560
died, you forget that they were all in this movie.

01:19:58.100 --> 01:19:59.760
Well, because they died because 40 years passed.

01:19:59.960 --> 01:20:02.779
But it's a great film. I really love it. And

01:20:02.779 --> 01:20:05.880
that leads into 2012. Avengers. Big surprise

01:20:05.880 --> 01:20:09.359
on this one. The Avengers. I really love the

01:20:09.359 --> 01:20:11.100
original Avengers. I think it's a fun movie.

01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:14.779
It's the best Hulk movie they've ever done. Yes.

01:20:14.939 --> 01:20:17.020
And the Hulk is my favorite character. My favorite

01:20:17.020 --> 01:20:19.560
Marvel character. I am a god, you dull creature.

01:20:20.279 --> 01:20:35.590
And I will not be bullied by you. Puny God. I

01:20:35.590 --> 01:20:38.909
really don't know. I remember we saw the... You

01:20:38.909 --> 01:20:40.470
couldn't do this these days because you'd die.

01:20:40.949 --> 01:20:46.210
It did the Road to Avengers marathon. And then

01:20:46.210 --> 01:20:48.350
Avengers premiered at midnight. And I remember

01:20:48.350 --> 01:20:49.529
we were trying to get out of that theater at

01:20:49.529 --> 01:20:50.949
like 2 a .m. And we were like, no, no, there's

01:20:50.949 --> 01:20:53.310
a post -credits scene. Don't go! And it's them

01:20:53.310 --> 01:20:56.210
eating fucking shawarma. Yep, it's the shawarma

01:20:56.210 --> 01:21:00.090
scene. Yeah, I do love the event. And I remember,

01:21:00.109 --> 01:21:03.250
to go back to 2008, I remember the second time

01:21:03.250 --> 01:21:05.670
I saw Iron Man, my mom dragged my aunt to go

01:21:05.670 --> 01:21:08.710
see it with us. And she got so mad at me the

01:21:08.710 --> 01:21:11.529
first time for making her wait for the Nick Fury

01:21:11.529 --> 01:21:14.029
credit. And we waited again for the Nick Fury

01:21:14.029 --> 01:21:16.449
post -credit. And my aunt was like, what's the

01:21:16.449 --> 01:21:17.750
deal with this? And I'm like, oh, well, you know,

01:21:17.869 --> 01:21:21.529
this is setting up the Avengers. And she's like,

01:21:21.569 --> 01:21:23.630
oh, I've heard of that, that TV show. And I'm

01:21:23.630 --> 01:21:26.810
like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Different Avengers.

01:21:27.420 --> 01:21:30.939
Different Avengers. Oh, no. I got to pick one.

01:21:31.100 --> 01:21:33.760
This was the hardest choice of the whole list.

01:21:34.500 --> 01:21:36.880
2013 is the hardest choice of the whole list.

01:21:37.840 --> 01:21:41.779
Actually, well, maybe aside from 98. Yeah, 98.

01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:44.939
What the hell am I talking about? Aside from

01:21:44.939 --> 01:21:49.539
84. There's like a dyslexia for numbers. I kind

01:21:49.539 --> 01:21:53.260
of have that. So my choices are Iron Man 3, which

01:21:53.260 --> 01:21:54.819
apparently I'm the only person who likes that

01:21:54.819 --> 01:21:58.539
film. No, you're not. I love that film. I love

01:21:58.539 --> 01:22:01.340
Iron Man 3. I've gotten into so many arguments

01:22:01.340 --> 01:22:03.380
because it's like, who doesn't wear the suit?

01:22:03.500 --> 01:22:07.739
That's the point. Yeah, exactly. Iron Man 3,

01:22:07.819 --> 01:22:14.000
okay. I don't believe in the HT, and the HT is

01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:17.279
basically hot take because opinions are opinions,

01:22:17.539 --> 01:22:20.220
and opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got

01:22:20.220 --> 01:22:23.609
one. So I don't believe in hot takes. Iron Man

01:22:23.609 --> 01:22:26.770
3 is essentially Lethal Weapon 5 without Mel

01:22:26.770 --> 01:22:30.649
and without Danny. Oh, okay. And it adds in,

01:22:30.689 --> 01:22:34.489
you know, superhero, supervillain, whatever.

01:22:35.029 --> 01:22:39.149
But because it's Shane Black, man. Okay. He's

01:22:39.149 --> 01:22:41.050
allowed to direct other movies than Lethal Weapon

01:22:41.050 --> 01:22:44.430
5. I understand. I understand that, but like...

01:22:45.210 --> 01:22:49.510
I got so many Lethal Weapon vibes and Riggs vibes

01:22:49.510 --> 01:22:53.069
when Tony was sneaking around the compound. Anyway,

01:22:53.430 --> 01:22:56.390
so Iron Man 3, what's the other choice? Pacific

01:22:56.390 --> 01:23:02.569
Rim. Oh, fuck. Pacific Rim was so... You know

01:23:02.569 --> 01:23:04.670
how I said that Avengers is the best Hulk movie?

01:23:05.029 --> 01:23:09.149
Pacific Rim is the best G .I. Joe movie. It's

01:23:09.149 --> 01:23:14.029
mech suits versus kaiju. It's got a cool theme.

01:23:15.130 --> 01:23:18.829
I don't know. I'm going back. I've got to pick

01:23:18.829 --> 01:23:23.470
one. I want to pick Pacific Rim just to be petty

01:23:23.470 --> 01:23:27.609
and natural. The thing about Iron Man 3 is there's

01:23:27.609 --> 01:23:31.489
a line in Spider -Man Homecoming where Tony says,

01:23:31.710 --> 01:23:35.250
if you need the suit, you don't deserve it. And

01:23:35.250 --> 01:23:38.329
Iron Man 3 is the proof of that. Yes, exactly.

01:23:39.229 --> 01:23:41.649
I'm going to go with Iron Man 3. Iron Man 3.

01:23:41.869 --> 01:23:47.250
Yep. Talked myself into it. 2014. It's Marvel,

01:23:47.510 --> 01:23:51.069
but it's the other Marvel. X -Men Days of Future

01:23:51.069 --> 01:23:54.689
Past. Oh, yes. I forgot that. This is a good

01:23:54.689 --> 01:23:57.590
film. I really like this film. I like how they

01:23:57.590 --> 01:24:00.930
combine the two casts. They also undid all the

01:24:00.930 --> 01:24:09.159
damage of X -Men 3 at the end. Yeah. The thing

01:24:09.159 --> 01:24:10.579
is, the X -Men films have focused on my favorite

01:24:10.579 --> 01:24:12.779
characters. My favorite characters are Magneto

01:24:12.779 --> 01:24:16.399
and Wolverine. And X -Men 3, or Days of Future

01:24:16.399 --> 01:24:18.640
Past, really focuses on both of those characters.

01:24:18.880 --> 01:24:21.020
And we get McKellen, and we get a younger guy,

01:24:21.039 --> 01:24:24.760
too. I can't remember his name. David. Fassbender.

01:24:25.279 --> 01:24:30.439
Yeah, like, it's just... And somehow, Trask became

01:24:30.439 --> 01:24:35.369
a little person. I don't know. I don't know how

01:24:35.369 --> 01:24:39.369
that happened. Anyway, I really liked that film.

01:24:39.689 --> 01:24:42.210
I wish they had stopped making X -Men movies

01:24:42.210 --> 01:24:44.550
after that becauseocalypse was garbage and I

01:24:44.550 --> 01:24:47.409
didn't even see the... They keep doing Phoenix.

01:24:47.489 --> 01:24:53.649
I don't know why. 2015, Mad Max Fury Road. I'm

01:24:53.649 --> 01:24:55.430
a little sad that I didn't get to do the original

01:24:55.430 --> 01:24:59.229
Road Warrior on this list. I don't know what

01:24:59.229 --> 01:25:01.470
year it was, but it lost out. Fury Road is cool.

01:25:02.170 --> 01:25:04.590
That was probably another thin year. I don't

01:25:04.590 --> 01:25:06.449
have a lot of... I think it was a good film.

01:25:06.609 --> 01:25:09.069
I liked Furiosa. I thought it was a good film,

01:25:09.109 --> 01:25:14.670
too. My big issue with Fury Road is that it's

01:25:14.670 --> 01:25:16.510
not that Mad Max wasn't the main character, because

01:25:16.510 --> 01:25:20.069
he kind of rarely really is, but it was the first

01:25:20.069 --> 01:25:27.989
one with... Ah. Bane. Venom. I'm old. The list

01:25:27.989 --> 01:25:32.279
started in 71. Oh, Jesus. What's his name? You

01:25:32.279 --> 01:25:35.619
know the actor I'm talking about? Hardy. Tom

01:25:35.619 --> 01:25:38.880
Hardy. Tom Hardy. My problem was that this was

01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:42.140
the first Tom Hardy Mad Max, and I think they

01:25:42.140 --> 01:25:44.180
should have focused on him to get the audience

01:25:44.180 --> 01:25:48.899
to be Mad Max instead of really putting the focus

01:25:48.899 --> 01:25:52.119
on another character. That's my biggest criticism

01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:53.859
of the film. But the stunts are spectacular.

01:25:55.920 --> 01:26:03.489
Okay. Anyway, 2016. Yes. Rogue One. The fourth

01:26:03.489 --> 01:26:07.130
Star Wars movie. Thank God. The fourth Star Wars

01:26:07.130 --> 01:26:08.970
movie and the last one that we ever need to speak

01:26:08.970 --> 01:26:13.069
of again. Also the sequel to Andor, which is

01:26:13.069 --> 01:26:15.390
my favorite, which will come up when we do the

01:26:15.390 --> 01:26:20.630
TV series, I assure you. I assure you, sir. We've

01:26:20.630 --> 01:26:22.289
already did a whole episode on Rogue One. Number

01:26:22.289 --> 01:26:25.510
2017. Number 2017. I went with Wonder Woman.

01:26:26.390 --> 01:26:29.029
I'm going to get yelled at by the woman in my

01:26:29.029 --> 01:26:32.909
life because she loves the character Wonder Woman.

01:26:33.130 --> 01:26:38.109
She hates the DCEU version of Wonder Woman. And

01:26:38.109 --> 01:26:40.390
she does not like this movie. But you know what?

01:26:40.449 --> 01:26:42.329
I saw this movie before I met her and I like

01:26:42.329 --> 01:26:46.569
this movie. Except for the ending. The ending

01:26:46.569 --> 01:26:49.710
is the standard DC giant CGI monster bullshit.

01:26:51.069 --> 01:26:56.569
Yes. But I thought Gal Gadot was good in the

01:26:56.569 --> 01:27:01.970
role. Apparently I'm really isolated on this

01:27:01.970 --> 01:27:05.470
opinion. I know she was bad in Snow White, but

01:27:05.470 --> 01:27:08.130
I mean, whatever. The No Man's Land sequence

01:27:08.130 --> 01:27:13.829
was amazing. And again, I think it speaks to

01:27:13.829 --> 01:27:17.109
like it probably was a weaker year. A lot of

01:27:17.109 --> 01:27:22.310
Phase 2... God, what year was Guardians? Because

01:27:22.310 --> 01:27:26.250
that's not on the list. Guardians. Hey, Google,

01:27:26.430 --> 01:27:29.270
what year was the Galaxy release? It's 2014.

01:27:30.729 --> 01:27:32.869
Really? Oh, well, I do really love X -Men Days

01:27:32.869 --> 01:27:37.010
of Future Past. I do really love... Well, I'm

01:27:37.010 --> 01:27:42.250
like, how did Mad Max or Wonder Woman... Future

01:27:42.250 --> 01:27:46.649
Past, yeah, I can see that. Because I was a Hulk

01:27:46.649 --> 01:27:49.680
guy, I was an X -Men guy. Those were my things

01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:53.840
in Marvel when I was into comics. 2018, 2019,

01:27:54.140 --> 01:27:58.199
huge surprise here. Infinity War and Endgame.

01:27:58.380 --> 01:28:01.659
I already wrote them down. These two movies are

01:28:01.659 --> 01:28:07.760
just... Oh, God. They're just amazing. There's

01:28:07.760 --> 01:28:10.779
literally a moment in Endgame, and everybody

01:28:10.779 --> 01:28:15.000
knows it. At the end... Okay, so there's a moment

01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:17.369
before the moment. which is my favorite part,

01:28:17.430 --> 01:28:18.609
which is one of my favorite movie moments of

01:28:18.609 --> 01:28:22.750
all time. Everybody's down, and Thanos has had

01:28:22.750 --> 01:28:24.609
enough of everybody's shit, so he calls in everybody,

01:28:24.810 --> 01:28:28.689
he calls in all his army, and Steve is the only

01:28:28.689 --> 01:28:31.210
one left. And he gets up, and he tightens his

01:28:31.210 --> 01:28:35.369
shield, and he stumbles forward by himself against

01:28:35.369 --> 01:28:39.050
this massive army of darkness. I fucking love

01:28:39.050 --> 01:28:43.550
that shot. Because that is Steve Rogers. It doesn't

01:28:43.550 --> 01:28:47.270
matter if nobody else is with him. stand to the

01:28:47.270 --> 01:28:50.289
end. The shield is ripped in half. And then he

01:28:50.289 --> 01:28:53.909
gets the call from Sam. And then Cap, can you

01:28:53.909 --> 01:28:57.149
hear me? On your left. He's going to call back

01:28:57.149 --> 01:29:00.869
to Winter Soldier. And when everybody gathers

01:29:00.869 --> 01:29:04.189
and then the two armies charge into each other,

01:29:04.829 --> 01:29:06.689
my best friend Jason and I were grabbing each

01:29:06.689 --> 01:29:12.189
other's shirts and just shaking. Children. Glee.

01:29:15.070 --> 01:29:17.930
I don't think people understand this moment.

01:29:18.090 --> 01:29:19.970
Like, like the Avengers itself, the original

01:29:19.970 --> 01:29:23.430
Avengers 2012 was largely unthinkable just a

01:29:23.430 --> 01:29:26.430
few years before. Oh, exactly. Yeah. And now

01:29:26.430 --> 01:29:30.270
we've got every character. Every character. Yep,

01:29:30.350 --> 01:29:36.189
exactly. And then, you know, we have the, it's

01:29:36.189 --> 01:29:39.270
the hammer, right? Oh, Mjolnir. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:29:39.270 --> 01:29:43.529
Yeah. No, you take the little one. No, no, no.

01:29:43.750 --> 01:29:47.529
No, no, no. That's a line. Thor has Stormbringer.

01:29:48.470 --> 01:29:51.250
And he picks up Stormbringer and then he goes,

01:29:51.350 --> 01:29:53.310
no, no, no. You have the little one. By the way,

01:29:53.310 --> 01:29:56.829
fucking Love and Thunder screws that up. Oh,

01:29:57.010 --> 01:29:58.390
fuck Love and Thunder. That's why I don't like

01:29:58.390 --> 01:30:00.050
Love and Thunder. Because the whole thing is

01:30:00.050 --> 01:30:02.489
Stormbringer is the one that Thor made for himself.

01:30:02.789 --> 01:30:05.829
There's a piece of Groot in it. Yeah, exactly.

01:30:06.489 --> 01:30:11.550
So what I'm talking about is that end scene.

01:30:12.199 --> 01:30:14.920
When they do assemble... I know, when he finally

01:30:14.920 --> 01:30:16.939
says... Because they dicked around with it in

01:30:16.939 --> 01:30:21.539
Ultron. Remember, he goes, Avengers? And it cuts

01:30:21.539 --> 01:30:23.539
to credits. So now he finally goes, Avengers...

01:30:23.539 --> 01:30:28.220
Yeah, that's the whole sequence. Yeah, but that's

01:30:28.220 --> 01:30:30.859
what I'm saying. Again, it pays off in the fact

01:30:30.859 --> 01:30:32.560
that nobody could pick up the thing in Age of

01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:34.260
Ultron, but Steve could move it a little bitty

01:30:34.260 --> 01:30:36.100
bit. And there's this great look on Thor's face

01:30:36.100 --> 01:30:38.319
where he's like, oh, shit. And then he can't

01:30:38.319 --> 01:30:41.449
do it, and he's like, whew. Yeah. Everything

01:30:41.449 --> 01:30:44.989
about that sequence is brilliant. Absolutely.

01:30:47.090 --> 01:30:49.489
People forget there's other good stuff in that

01:30:49.489 --> 01:30:53.149
movie, too. Oh, no, I don't. I love those two

01:30:53.149 --> 01:30:56.750
movies. I love timey -wimey nonsense, but I love

01:30:56.750 --> 01:30:59.989
when they've screwed up the New York mission.

01:31:00.310 --> 01:31:02.869
They have to go back to the base in New Jersey.

01:31:03.229 --> 01:31:06.829
Oh, I love it. And the whole bit with Tony and

01:31:06.829 --> 01:31:12.689
his dad. Yes, absolutely, finally. I cried. I

01:31:12.689 --> 01:31:14.390
have a lot of issues with my dad. And it was

01:31:14.390 --> 01:31:17.430
like Tony seeing his dad in a completely new

01:31:17.430 --> 01:31:20.229
light. Because now he's a dad. Yeah, exactly.

01:31:21.710 --> 01:31:25.270
That movie was like, what the hell happened?

01:31:26.409 --> 01:31:29.029
It was surprising talking about Pixar and talking

01:31:29.029 --> 01:31:31.010
about these Marvel movies. Oh, no, absolutely.

01:31:31.550 --> 01:31:34.989
Now we live in the now. What happened? Yeah,

01:31:35.090 --> 01:31:38.010
what happened? What happened? Well, the line

01:31:38.010 --> 01:31:43.689
he says to Cap, he goes, you know, I'm glad we're

01:31:43.689 --> 01:31:47.850
trying to go back to get back what we lost, but

01:31:47.850 --> 01:31:50.909
I don't want to lose what I found. No, no, I

01:31:50.909 --> 01:31:55.869
can't lose what I have. Yeah, exactly. These

01:31:55.869 --> 01:31:58.510
movies are usually fairly predictable, and I

01:31:58.510 --> 01:32:04.159
love... Morgan was such a monkey wrench in the

01:32:04.159 --> 01:32:06.920
story. Because you're like, wait, is Tony going

01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:10.039
to stop them? Is Tony going to be an enemy? Because

01:32:10.039 --> 01:32:14.260
you can't just undo what you did. Because now

01:32:14.260 --> 01:32:16.960
there's Morgan. It's such a complication. And

01:32:16.960 --> 01:32:22.100
Morgan's adorable. I love you 3000. It's so good.

01:32:22.859 --> 01:32:26.460
It's so good. They did so well. Which is why

01:32:26.460 --> 01:32:30.819
I was like, I've had this opinion since 2019.

01:32:31.380 --> 01:32:35.619
How are they going to move forward? I have not

01:32:35.619 --> 01:32:38.460
cared. Other than what if? Other than the animated

01:32:38.460 --> 01:32:46.680
one? No, no. What if is good? What if is good?

01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:52.939
What if is its own thing? It's good. But... Every

01:32:52.939 --> 01:32:55.579
other live -action thing Marvel has done since

01:32:55.579 --> 01:32:59.140
Endgame, I'm like, it doesn't matter. Well, no,

01:32:59.140 --> 01:33:02.199
it was almost good. Okay. But it was its own

01:33:02.199 --> 01:33:03.899
thing. It was kind of its own isolated thing,

01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:06.960
which I think is why it was good. And same thing

01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:10.300
with DP and W. I agree with that. But, like,

01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:17.420
you called your final movie in 2019 Avengers

01:33:17.420 --> 01:33:24.260
Endgame. The last chess move. They should have

01:33:24.260 --> 01:33:28.699
let it sit. They should have just said, okay,

01:33:28.720 --> 01:33:31.739
it's gone. A little bit. It literally ended with

01:33:31.739 --> 01:33:34.640
everybody signing it. Yeah. With the signature.

01:33:34.680 --> 01:33:37.840
You should have walked away. Because at that

01:33:37.840 --> 01:33:39.739
point, I think, did they own Fox at that point?

01:33:39.979 --> 01:33:42.800
I don't remember. I don't know. But you should

01:33:42.800 --> 01:33:45.979
have just walked away, left it alone, started

01:33:45.979 --> 01:33:49.199
with the X -Men. Still not doing a goddamn X

01:33:49.199 --> 01:33:52.119
-Men movie drives me insane. Well, they are eventually

01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:54.739
in 2032. But they're not doing it yet. They've

01:33:54.739 --> 01:33:59.680
got to do Doomsday first, apparently. Point being,

01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:04.359
they should have left it alone for a while. But

01:34:04.359 --> 01:34:07.180
you can't do that because it makes money. So

01:34:07.180 --> 01:34:09.359
instead they're going to do Doomsday and reboot

01:34:09.359 --> 01:34:12.659
everything and it's a thing. So how did we watch

01:34:12.659 --> 01:34:14.819
stuff when the world shut down? What is your

01:34:14.819 --> 01:34:18.300
choice for 2020, sir? My choice is Bill and Ted

01:34:18.300 --> 01:34:22.979
face the music. It was cute. I mentioned that

01:34:22.979 --> 01:34:25.239
the woman in my life will be angry about Wonder

01:34:25.239 --> 01:34:27.800
Woman. She disagreed with me on this one because

01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:30.819
she's more of a... She believed that Bill and

01:34:30.819 --> 01:34:33.960
Ted were more like metal guys and the music in

01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:38.060
this one was more kind of sweet pop. Okay. But

01:34:38.060 --> 01:34:41.720
I liked it. It was about niceness. It was positive.

01:34:42.420 --> 01:34:44.979
And I think that was, for 2020, that was a hell

01:34:44.979 --> 01:34:47.739
of a message that we needed. To be positive and

01:34:47.739 --> 01:34:51.140
to be, you know. And again, I like the timey

01:34:51.140 --> 01:34:52.840
-wimey stuff. So Bill and Ted facing music. And

01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:55.760
again, there was not a heavy competition in 2020.

01:34:56.279 --> 01:34:58.859
Yeah, no. To be fair. And the only reason why

01:34:58.859 --> 01:35:01.760
I'm half smiling and half laughing because you

01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:04.859
said kindness and niceness and all I can think

01:35:04.859 --> 01:35:10.579
of is kindness is the new punk rock. Okay. It's

01:35:10.579 --> 01:35:15.890
a today thing. I know. I've seen Superman. I

01:35:15.890 --> 01:35:19.930
liked Superman, but I get it. I feel bad. I don't

01:35:19.930 --> 01:35:23.430
know when Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey was. Because

01:35:23.430 --> 01:35:24.630
that would have been a heavy contender for that.

01:35:24.689 --> 01:35:27.609
Because I remember loving that film. Absolutely

01:35:27.609 --> 01:35:29.529
adoring that film when it came out. So I'm glad

01:35:29.529 --> 01:35:32.729
Bill and Ted made the list somewhere. Hey, Google.

01:35:33.250 --> 01:35:40.729
Wait, wait, wait. Hang on. Hey, Google. When

01:35:40.729 --> 01:35:48.630
did Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey release? 91.

01:35:49.710 --> 01:35:54.510
91. Silence of the Lambs. Yep. It would have

01:35:54.510 --> 01:35:56.210
been a contender. You know what? If I had known

01:35:56.210 --> 01:36:00.630
then what I know now, it might have beat out

01:36:00.630 --> 01:36:02.630
Silence of the Lambs. It would have been a contender.

01:36:03.010 --> 01:36:09.369
I really like... It's a dumb thing. It's a little

01:36:09.369 --> 01:36:15.510
idiosyncrasy thing. Let me speak good. When they

01:36:15.510 --> 01:36:17.810
go to heaven and they ask for the best engineers,

01:36:18.029 --> 01:36:20.369
they're not human. They're from another planet.

01:36:21.829 --> 01:36:26.770
You never see the concept of alien life and science

01:36:26.770 --> 01:36:29.149
fiction stuff like that mixed with religious

01:36:29.149 --> 01:36:32.729
concepts like heaven. I don't know. It was cool.

01:36:32.890 --> 01:36:36.289
I really like that movie. Very cool. Alright,

01:36:36.430 --> 01:36:40.050
2021. It's too late now. We're already in 2021.

01:36:42.409 --> 01:36:45.600
Ted's Bogus Journey is a good movie. We already

01:36:45.600 --> 01:36:47.819
mentioned this. Spider -Man No Way Home. Go,

01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:59.020
Webb! Fly! Up, up, and away, Webb! Shazam! Go!

01:36:59.399 --> 01:37:08.779
Go! Go, Webb, go! Probably the best movie since

01:37:08.779 --> 01:37:13.239
Endgame. I love... I know people are tired of

01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:14.800
the multiverse stuff, but I think it worked really

01:37:14.800 --> 01:37:19.479
well for this movie. Yes, it did. I love that

01:37:19.479 --> 01:37:24.220
Peter wanted to save everybody. That's a big

01:37:24.220 --> 01:37:26.539
thing with Superman now. He wants to save people.

01:37:26.800 --> 01:37:29.500
Not only did Peter want to save people, he wanted

01:37:29.500 --> 01:37:33.039
to save his worst enemies. Then we get the other

01:37:33.039 --> 01:37:35.840
two Spider -Men. When we were at the theater,

01:37:36.039 --> 01:37:37.739
there's a moment at the end where Mary Jane falls

01:37:37.739 --> 01:37:40.220
off the thing and Andrew Garfield catches her.

01:37:40.970 --> 01:37:43.970
And this dude sitting next to us suddenly shouted

01:37:43.970 --> 01:37:46.670
out, Redemption! And everybody laughed. It was

01:37:46.670 --> 01:37:51.810
great. It's a good film. It's an amazing film,

01:37:51.949 --> 01:37:55.550
absolutely. The MCU Spider -Man films are all

01:37:55.550 --> 01:37:59.050
really good. Yes, they are. Absolutely. Okay,

01:37:59.050 --> 01:38:03.550
2022, we've done an episode on this. RRR. Weird

01:38:03.550 --> 01:38:05.609
little indie movie that's super freaking awesome.

01:38:06.199 --> 01:38:08.340
Mm -hmm. We already did an episode on it, so

01:38:08.340 --> 01:38:11.560
we'll leave it at the point. 2023, this one is

01:38:11.560 --> 01:38:14.380
like the deepest, deepest dive of the whole list.

01:38:14.479 --> 01:38:16.279
I factored Allegro in on Torpro. I think it was

01:38:16.279 --> 01:38:21.600
Apple TV. Tetris. The story of Tetris. You know,

01:38:21.680 --> 01:38:25.600
I still haven't seen that. I need to. It is so

01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:29.880
good. I know I want to, I'm not, I mean, there's

01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.359
a, there's a moment at the end when they're racing

01:38:32.359 --> 01:38:34.760
around Moscow and the KGB is chasing them and

01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:36.899
they're trying to, and I'm like, this is that

01:38:36.899 --> 01:38:39.060
game I played in college. This is, I have a little,

01:38:39.060 --> 01:38:40.880
I have a little Tetris, like they have these

01:38:40.880 --> 01:38:43.340
little mock arcade cabinet games that, you know,

01:38:43.340 --> 01:38:45.119
you, you, you can buy and just play, you know,

01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:48.020
handheld. I have one by my bed. I used to play

01:38:48.020 --> 01:38:51.579
it every night. The story of that is just fascinating.

01:38:52.239 --> 01:38:54.739
Number one, it was fascinating. Number two, it

01:38:54.739 --> 01:38:56.460
was fun. It was a good, exciting, interesting

01:38:56.460 --> 01:39:00.960
movie about the battle for Tetris. And then 2024,

01:39:01.319 --> 01:39:05.140
again, we've mentioned this, Deadpool and Wolverine.

01:39:05.239 --> 01:39:10.300
Let's fucking go. And I... You know, that movie

01:39:10.300 --> 01:39:14.359
won my heart at the very beginning. There was

01:39:14.359 --> 01:39:17.300
all this, like... was leading up to it, that

01:39:17.300 --> 01:39:20.140
Kevin Feige hadn't wanted to do it. First of

01:39:20.140 --> 01:39:22.159
all, I have a lot of complicated feelings about

01:39:22.159 --> 01:39:27.600
Logan movie. Okay. The whole stuff with Professor

01:39:27.600 --> 01:39:31.479
Xavier was a little too much like what I was

01:39:31.479 --> 01:39:34.880
dealing with my mom the year she died. There

01:39:34.880 --> 01:39:39.699
was a surgery that went wrong. Dealing with someone

01:39:39.699 --> 01:39:42.979
you love who had been a mentor figure who is

01:39:42.979 --> 01:39:46.350
now kind of mentally a child. It was too rough

01:39:46.350 --> 01:39:49.449
for me. It's a good movie. I never want to watch

01:39:49.449 --> 01:39:52.890
it again. But Kevin Feige was like, we don't

01:39:52.890 --> 01:39:55.609
want to disrespect the memory of Logan. We don't

01:39:55.609 --> 01:39:57.670
want to disrespect the ending that we gave Wolverine.

01:39:57.750 --> 01:40:00.390
And literally the fucking movie starts with Deadpool

01:40:00.390 --> 01:40:06.109
digging up Wolverine's corpse. You could literally

01:40:06.109 --> 01:40:10.710
see the heart emoji form over my head. And the

01:40:10.710 --> 01:40:13.439
rest of the movie was fun too. I love Hugh Jackman

01:40:13.439 --> 01:40:16.699
in that role. And they, they, they, they, I love

01:40:16.699 --> 01:40:18.779
the whole, the whole sequence. Cause again, X

01:40:18.779 --> 01:40:21.140
-Men is one of my comics. Yep. The whole sequence

01:40:21.140 --> 01:40:25.000
where he's visiting all the variant X -Men. And

01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:27.399
it's like, I know that cover. I know that outfit.

01:40:27.680 --> 01:40:29.680
I know what they're talking about. Like, I know

01:40:29.680 --> 01:40:32.460
all these references. I love it so much. And

01:40:32.460 --> 01:40:36.220
then I think is Logan had a good art and I was

01:40:36.220 --> 01:40:38.479
not the, the, the TVA stuff was kind of meh,

01:40:38.600 --> 01:40:40.479
but I do think, I think Sandra Nova was a good

01:40:40.479 --> 01:40:42.840
villain. I think she was set up very well. The

01:40:42.840 --> 01:40:46.380
stuff with Chris Evans. Oh, it's Captain America!

01:40:46.659 --> 01:40:49.220
And then you're like, oh shit, it's Johnny Storm!

01:40:49.600 --> 01:40:54.420
And then it's like, oh shit, Johnny Storm! Oh

01:40:54.420 --> 01:41:00.939
no! And then the moment when Blade's like, the

01:41:00.939 --> 01:41:04.500
only one, the only one that'll ever be. I can't

01:41:04.500 --> 01:41:05.760
remember the actor. Who's the actor who plays

01:41:05.760 --> 01:41:09.140
Blade? Help me. Wesley Snipes. Wesley Snipes

01:41:09.140 --> 01:41:11.180
has that line about how he's the only, he is,

01:41:11.180 --> 01:41:13.260
he is, he is, wasn't, and will only be, he's

01:41:13.260 --> 01:41:14.880
the only blade that will ever be. Like, it was

01:41:14.880 --> 01:41:17.119
cool that they all got, like, all these characters

01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:19.939
that, like, kind of were abandoned, literally

01:41:19.939 --> 01:41:22.479
and figuratively got their redemptions, except

01:41:22.479 --> 01:41:25.640
for Gambit, who I hate. Yeah, but I end in 2025.

01:41:26.899 --> 01:41:29.699
Year's not over yet. Yeah, the year's not over

01:41:29.699 --> 01:41:32.699
yet. And frankly, the competition is very thin.

01:41:32.899 --> 01:41:35.920
This would be another one I'd be like, I guess.

01:41:39.390 --> 01:41:42.329
Superman. Fantastic Four was pretty good, I thought.

01:41:43.590 --> 01:41:46.010
Superman was pretty good. And there's another

01:41:46.010 --> 01:41:49.449
dinosaur movie coming out next month. I'm keeping

01:41:49.449 --> 01:41:54.449
my powder dry. Oh, boy. Primal War. Be the dark

01:41:54.449 --> 01:41:59.210
horse. So are we leaving 2025 blank? It's not

01:41:59.210 --> 01:42:05.170
over yet. Okay. The only reason I'm going to

01:42:05.170 --> 01:42:07.189
pick it for the TV one is there's literally zero

01:42:07.189 --> 01:42:09.109
chance in hell that any show is better than Andor.

01:42:10.010 --> 01:42:14.909
Well, yeah, obviously. I don't know. I haven't

01:42:14.909 --> 01:42:17.710
seen Primal War yet. I don't know. There's a

01:42:17.710 --> 01:42:20.409
stupid Avatar movie coming out that I'm going

01:42:20.409 --> 01:42:23.369
to get dragged to go see. I don't want to. Avatar?

01:42:24.550 --> 01:42:27.329
Yuck. One of the successful movies that nobody

01:42:27.329 --> 01:42:31.109
seems to like very much. Yeah, no. No Avatar.

01:42:32.199 --> 01:42:35.220
All right, folks, that's Dave's list for movies

01:42:35.220 --> 01:42:41.560
from every year. 53 long years. Yeah. I feel

01:42:41.560 --> 01:42:50.119
it. Yep, absolutely. Well, 54 long years. Well,

01:42:50.199 --> 01:42:54.119
I mean, we're not doing 25, remember? Well, 71

01:42:54.119 --> 01:42:58.659
to 24. Yeah, the math doesn't work. Anyway, I'm

01:42:58.659 --> 01:43:02.550
not mathing right. Anyway. We are going to go

01:43:02.550 --> 01:43:04.489
to a quick podcast ad break. You'll hear some

01:43:04.489 --> 01:43:06.609
podcast ads, some other stuff. We'll come back

01:43:06.609 --> 01:43:13.789
to close the show right after this. Martini.

01:43:14.789 --> 01:43:23.670
Start. Not shaking. Start. What's your opinion?

01:43:24.069 --> 01:43:30.310
I'll take a Negroni. Just poured. Sorry? On that.

01:43:31.050 --> 01:43:34.189
In the play, it's that old cliche, does art actually

01:43:34.189 --> 01:43:37.069
imitate life? Because you got this tyrant who's

01:43:37.069 --> 01:43:43.050
walking the stage. And in the first act, his

01:43:43.050 --> 01:43:45.270
cruelty goes completely unpunished. But in the

01:43:45.270 --> 01:43:53.430
fifth, in the fifth, justice. Always justice.

01:43:54.609 --> 01:43:58.189
You see a tyrant. I see a man bringing order

01:43:58.189 --> 01:44:02.689
to a disordered world. scouring its filth, polishing

01:44:02.689 --> 01:44:06.489
it till it shines. In art, our most fervent hopes

01:44:06.489 --> 01:44:10.750
come true. Heroes always win. It's bullshit.

01:44:12.010 --> 01:44:18.989
In life, totally different. Nah, that was Shakespeare.

01:44:19.489 --> 01:44:25.109
Act 5's coming. To Shakespeare. To Bill. Think

01:44:25.109 --> 01:44:37.470
you both just spoiled the end? No. Hello, geeks

Podcast. Hey, Jared, I have this idea for a new

01:47:11.199 --> 01:47:16.380
show for the network. Yeah, what is it? You know

01:47:16.380 --> 01:47:19.359
how I liked the 1990s comic book series, The

01:47:19.359 --> 01:47:24.800
New Warriors? Yes, yes, yep. And you know how

01:47:24.800 --> 01:47:26.859
at the Longbox Crusade we're trying to get the

01:47:26.859 --> 01:47:31.619
YouTube channel going? Yes, also correct. Well,

01:47:31.619 --> 01:47:34.340
thanks. So how about you and me do a live stream

01:47:34.340 --> 01:47:36.739
show about The New Warriors? You've never read

01:47:36.739 --> 01:47:39.279
the books before, and I have them, and so that's

01:47:39.279 --> 01:47:41.739
a great setup. We could give it a catchy name

01:47:41.739 --> 01:47:44.720
like Come Out to Play. Don't you think that's

01:47:44.720 --> 01:47:48.039
the greatest idea? Sure, sure, sure, Delvin.

01:47:48.060 --> 01:47:51.720
That's a great idea. Just one question. Yeah?

01:47:52.279 --> 01:47:54.819
Why do you have me dangling off this ledge holding

01:47:54.819 --> 01:48:01.460
me by only one arm? Oh, yeah. Well, you'll get

01:48:01.460 --> 01:48:08.060
it soon. I hope. Come out to play. A new Warriors

to promote? Anything? No. The only thing is,

01:51:40.130 --> 01:51:42.750
it's an interesting experience to do something

01:51:42.750 --> 01:51:46.289
like this. There's a lot of, I don't know how

01:51:46.289 --> 01:51:49.869
to put it, introspection. It's an interesting,

01:51:50.069 --> 01:51:53.350
I don't want to say therapy per se, but I do

01:51:53.350 --> 01:51:55.970
feel that you get a little perspective on yourself.

01:51:56.289 --> 01:51:59.270
We had this kind of back and forth about genres.

01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:02.340
how there were certain genres, certain things

01:52:02.340 --> 01:52:04.800
I liked. It's one of those things that you may

01:52:04.800 --> 01:52:07.659
not think about it. The things that you like

01:52:07.659 --> 01:52:10.600
say something about you. Oh, absolutely. If you

01:52:10.600 --> 01:52:12.420
look into it, you might learn a little something

01:52:12.420 --> 01:52:15.939
about yourself. Absolutely. Which is why I was

01:52:15.939 --> 01:52:19.199
like, oh, this is a cool Facebook post. I don't

01:52:19.199 --> 01:52:21.319
want this to get lost, which means, guess what,

01:52:21.359 --> 01:52:23.819
folks? I turned it into a new podcast series.

01:52:29.980 --> 01:52:33.859

01:53:38.029 --> 01:53:41.090
Join us next time when we will be getting my

01:53:41.090 --> 01:53:47.489
list of movies from the year I was born up until

01:53:47.489 --> 01:53:53.350
2024 because I have not seen Superman and I have

01:53:53.350 --> 01:53:56.430
not seen Fantastic Four yet. I am waiting for

01:53:56.430 --> 01:53:59.329
a media release, so that's just the way that

01:53:59.329 --> 01:54:06.689
I roll. Captain America New World Order? Lilo

01:54:06.689 --> 01:54:09.710
and Stitch remake? I haven't seen those either

01:54:09.710 --> 01:54:14.090
yet. Lilo and Stitch just hit digital buy, and

01:54:14.090 --> 01:54:18.590
I haven't had a chance to buy it yet. For me,

01:54:18.689 --> 01:54:20.489
it would be an instant buy because I've seen

01:54:20.489 --> 01:54:24.380
every single clip. Like, I know the movie. I

01:54:24.380 --> 01:54:26.119
know the changes that they made in the movie,

01:54:26.220 --> 01:54:28.239
and I'm okay with the changes that they made

01:54:28.239 --> 01:54:32.060
in the movie because I understand, unlike some

01:54:32.060 --> 01:54:35.859
other regular people, that they had to make certain

01:54:35.859 --> 01:54:40.779
story changes to make it fit in. Okay. No, no,

01:54:40.819 --> 01:54:44.520
I think it's great. Ohana means abandon your

01:54:44.520 --> 01:54:48.439
family so you can go live your own dreams. It's

01:54:48.439 --> 01:54:52.609
a very millennial message. Is it a millennial

01:54:52.609 --> 01:54:56.189
message, though, or is it a Gen Z message? Come

01:54:56.189 --> 01:54:58.810
on now. It's a Generation Isn't Mine message.

01:54:58.829 --> 01:55:02.210
That's all I know. Therefore, contemptible. Yes,

01:55:02.210 --> 01:55:05.989
very contemptible. I need to get Disney Plus

01:55:05.989 --> 01:55:09.869
back to see Cap. I haven't had Disney Plus in

01:55:09.869 --> 01:55:13.869
a couple of months. No, you don't. Because you

01:55:13.869 --> 01:55:15.090
haven't seen the film, you didn't realize that

01:55:15.090 --> 01:55:19.350
was a joke. Yeah, yeah. As was Captain America,

01:55:19.409 --> 01:55:22.010
Winter Soldier, or not Captain America, New World

01:55:22.010 --> 01:55:24.430
Order. New World Order, yeah. That was a weird

01:55:24.430 --> 01:55:28.710
Freudian slip. It's okay. Winter Soldier's awesome,

01:55:29.050 --> 01:55:33.689
absolutely. That really is America's ass. That's

01:55:33.689 --> 01:55:37.729
the Avengers. Oh, is it? That's Endgame. Yeah,

01:55:37.729 --> 01:55:40.239
that's when he's... Oh, no, that's... Civil War.

01:55:40.260 --> 01:55:43.739
Civil War is when Ant -Man says that's America's

01:55:43.739 --> 01:55:47.680
ass. And then it is Endgame when he's fighting

01:55:47.680 --> 01:55:50.359
himself. When he's fighting himself. Yeah, that's

01:55:50.359 --> 01:55:53.939
Endgame. Yeah, that's Endgame. It just goes to

01:55:53.939 --> 01:55:56.479
show you folks, Endgame is amazing. So yeah,

01:55:56.600 --> 01:55:58.619
next episode I'm going to go through my list

01:55:58.619 --> 01:56:01.479
of films from the year I was born up until 2024.

01:56:03.039 --> 01:56:07.020
Quietly judging him. Well, like you don't do

01:56:07.020 --> 01:56:10.840
that already. So for now, I am TF2 and Mike with...

01:56:10.840 --> 01:56:13.760
David Draper. You'll hear us back in the studio

01:56:13.760 --> 01:56:22.659
soon. Blue shirt, fifth row, wake up! Ah, light

01:56:22.659 --> 01:56:24.420
dawns on Marblehead.
