This was my favorite movie of the 00:00:35.969 --> 00:00:41.670 year. My dad was born. Hey, it's Mistress Carrie, 00:00:41.850 --> 00:01:00.229 and you are listening to Studio 2009. It's a 00:01:00.229 --> 00:01:04.489 pity you Autobots die so easily, or I might have 00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:11.370 a sense of satisfaction now. You got the touch! 00:01:13.569 --> 00:01:19.469 You got the... Arise, Rhymus Prime. Optimus. 00:01:20.189 --> 00:01:23.819 Yeah! There's another... Welcome to your podcast 00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:25.760 player. Do not attempt to adjust the volume. 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.099 Hello and welcome back into our studio. You're 00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:31.140 now inside Studio 2009. Only on the Geekcast 00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.019 Radio Network. I'm, of course, T .O. Joe and 00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:36.200 Mike. And for the second time ever, it is Media 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.140 Mayhem. And it will be like the sands of the 00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:42.780 hourglass. These are the decades of our lives. 00:01:42.939 --> 00:01:45.140 Today, I welcome back that good old detective 00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:48.000 of film and television. It's David Draper. Hello, 00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:51.500 sir. How are you? Like I said, I'm not dead yet. 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.939 Not dead yet. I'm not getting better, but being 00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:59.420 older. We can try to get better. And as I said 00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:02.439 last episode, this is all his fault, folks. And 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.459 we already went through all the reasons why this 00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:08.740 is all his fault in the last episode. But again, 00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:11.379 I will remind everybody of the rules. Rule number 00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:16.479 one. These lists are inherently subjective. They 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.960 are not the quote -unquote best films of each 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.219 year. but are favorites, and therefore no choice 00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:24.759 can be quote -unquote wrong. Quiet eye -rolling 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.120 is, however, allowed. Rule number two! The more 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.699 a personal thing, in many cases, we define favorite 00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:39.800 as film we'd most like to watch. Rule number 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.240 three! You'd have to have seen the movie, but 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.620 do not have to have actually seen it the year 00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:48.180 it was released. And finally, rule number four! 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.979 You can only pick one film each year, 1984. You 00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:56.520 must pick one film from every year, 2006, etc., 00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:01.280 etc. So those are the rules. Any questions, anything 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.639 you'd like to say before we start? I wish I had 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:05.460 come up with rule number five, which is that 00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:07.360 the movie had to actually be released the year 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.800 that the... If I had known that you could cheat 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.240 like that, Star Wars would be on the list like 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:17.030 five times. It came out on videotape in 1982. 00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:20.009 It came on HBO in 1983. The special edition in 00:03:20.009 --> 00:03:27.629 1997. So what he's referring to, folks, is Lady 00:03:27.629 --> 00:03:30.930 and the Tramp got re -released in 1980. I was 00:03:30.930 --> 00:03:34.169 born in 1980. And I asked him, and I said, hey, 00:03:34.349 --> 00:03:39.750 are we counting re -releases? I said no. And 00:03:39.750 --> 00:03:43.699 that's fine. I didn't pick it. Oh, you didn't? 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.180 Okay. So you've actually seen another movie besides 00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:49.919 Empire Strikes Back from 1980? Actually, yeah. 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.800 I think you thought that I was just pushing for 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.900 that movie. And my thing was like, I really didn't 00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:57.580 care if you picked Empire. It was just like, 00:03:57.699 --> 00:04:01.259 it did not strike me right. Because number one, 00:04:01.259 --> 00:04:03.939 you didn't see it in 1980. You saw it later. 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.539 And it was released in 1955. It felt like a dodge 00:04:08.539 --> 00:04:12.060 to get out of the... And the thing is, 1980 had 00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:15.860 a... I counted, like, 20 films, like, that were 00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:18.339 not Empire Strikes Back, that were, like, and 00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:20.480 not horror films. Because they had, like, they 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.319 had a lot of, like, really classic, you know, 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.040 horror films, too. I'm not a big horror film 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.259 guy. But it's, like, they had The Fog, and they 00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:28.939 had Alligator, and they had Terror Train, which 00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:32.000 are all well -known horror films. But, like, 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.579 they had, like, I mean, I listed them all. I 00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:35.860 listed off a couple of them, like Airplane. Airplane, 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.920 come on, man. Caddyshack. There was another one, 00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:41.060 because I know you like comedies. There was another 00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:44.279 one, like Ordinary People, which won the Academy 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.660 Award. I mean, obviously, it won the Academy 00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:50.360 Award every year, but I'm saying there were a 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:55.240 lot of really good films that year. And I spent, 00:04:56.740 --> 00:04:59.500 well, by the time you folks hear this, it'll 00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:01.459 probably be a couple of months from now, but 00:05:01.459 --> 00:05:04.220 hopefully it'll be shorter than a couple of months 00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:08.850 from now. At the time of recording, I spent about 00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:15.509 four hours last night and three hours this morning 00:05:15.509 --> 00:05:18.149 coming up with my list. So I spent about seven 00:05:18.149 --> 00:05:24.290 hours total. And I spent about an hour and a 00:05:24.290 --> 00:05:31.129 half on 1980 alone. Because every other one, 00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:35.110 every other year, I pretty much knew what I was 00:05:35.110 --> 00:05:43.230 picking. Almost up until the. I would say 2021, 00:05:43.829 --> 00:05:49.230 2023 kind of gave me a little little bit of a 00:05:49.230 --> 00:05:53.129 whatever. Actually, 2017 gave me some trouble, 00:05:53.189 --> 00:05:57.750 too. But 1980 gave me the most trouble because 00:05:57.750 --> 00:06:01.310 you're right. There are a lot of great movies 00:06:01.310 --> 00:06:04.899 in there. I just haven't, I've never seen airplane. 00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:07.860 I, I know the clearance Clarence thing because 00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:10.360 it's everywhere because that's the biggest joke 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.680 out of that entire movie. Like that's the most 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.860 famous joke out of that movie is the Shirley 00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:17.339 one. Okay. Yeah. Don't call me Shirley. Yeah. 00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:19.620 Yeah. Yeah. Don't call me Shirley. Yeah. Fine. 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.639 But I'm saying like, what's the clearance Clarence. 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.259 That's another one that I know, but I've still 00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:29.139 to this day, never seen airplane. I've never 00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:32.709 seen. the other ones you mentioned. It was Caddyshack, 00:06:32.810 --> 00:06:36.110 and it was something else. I've seen bits and 00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:38.810 pieces of the original, the first Caddyshack 00:06:38.810 --> 00:06:43.170 film, and as soon as I saw Dangerfield, I was 00:06:43.170 --> 00:06:47.589 like, oh, hell. He was better in Ladybugs with 00:06:47.589 --> 00:06:50.810 Jonathan Brandis. That's all I'll say. No, but 00:06:50.810 --> 00:06:54.670 my favorite Dangerfield is Back to School. That's 00:06:54.670 --> 00:06:56.850 a good one. Okay, well, I'll do you one better. 00:06:56.850 --> 00:06:58.790 The best part is he hires Kurt Vonnegut to write 00:06:58.790 --> 00:07:01.879 his paper on Kurt Vonnegut. And then the teacher's 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.500 like, I don't know who you hired to write this 00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:05.800 paper, but he knows nothing about Kurt Vonnegut. 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.959 I'll tell you one better. Rover Dangerfield. 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.019 When you don't actually see Rodney, you just 00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:17.000 hear his voice because he's the animated dog. 00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:22.860 I'm just not a Dangerfield fan. I respect the 00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:26.639 guy. I respect his comedy, but I'm just not a 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:31.040 fan of him in film. I mean, he's one part of 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.519 like – I mean, when you mention that, it's like, 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.420 oh, yeah, Dangerfield is in that. Like for me, 00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:40.319 it's Bill Murray and Chevy Chase. Yeah. I need 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:41.839 to go back. It's not about them either. It's 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.379 about the stupid kid who was – About the kid, 00:07:44.579 --> 00:07:46.639 yeah. Ended up being like the boyfriend on Roseanne, 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.560 I think. Jackie's boyfriend. I think that's the 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.889 same guy. I could be wrong. Don't ask me. Johnny 00:07:52.889 --> 00:07:57.050 Galecki? No, Johnny Galecki. No, no, no. Roseanne's 00:07:57.050 --> 00:08:04.589 sister has like a boyfriend. Yeah, okay. I mean, 00:08:04.649 --> 00:08:08.050 it was 20 years later. Agent Bull, the Elephant 00:08:08.050 --> 00:08:13.970 Man. Oh, okay. Yeah. I don't know what movies 00:08:13.970 --> 00:08:20.850 you watch. Flash Gordon. Flash. Yeah. Popeye. 00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:27.399 9 to 5! The gods must be crazy! Okay, now see, 00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:31.879 here's the thing. Is that... No, not Xanadu. 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:37.220 I was forced to watch that one year. I was forced 00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:41.860 to watch that one year as well. That movie is 00:08:41.860 --> 00:08:49.960 horrible. I hate that movie. It exists. Between 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.519 Xanadu and The Gods Must Be Crazy, I'll take 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.399 The Gods Must Be Crazy any day. Oh, The Gods 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.480 Must Be Crazy is a great film. So the funny thing 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.320 about The Gods Must Be Crazy is that I believe, 00:08:59.419 --> 00:09:02.059 and I could be getting this wrong, and I don't 00:09:02.059 --> 00:09:03.860 think it was my high school years. I think it 00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:06.039 was my middle school years. I think it was like, 00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:08.980 no, it was probably the early high school. It 00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:11.620 was either eighth grade or ninth grade. Now, 00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:14.139 the way that... Middle school and high school 00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:17.159 worked for me was it was 6th, 7th, and 8th was 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.779 middle, and then 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th was 00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:24.240 high school. So freshman, sophomore, junior, 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:29.080 senior. So because in different areas of our 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.600 lovely country here, it sometimes worked differently. 00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:35.220 Hell, my cousin Pauly, when he was a kid, for 00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:36.980 some odd reason, one of the schools he ended 00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:39.500 up going to, they didn't give out A, B, C, D, 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:44.000 all that. They gave out S's and G's, and I still 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.860 don't know which one was the good grade and the 00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:50.539 bad grade. Anyway, but at one of these schools, 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.039 one of the teachers was so eccentric to get the 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:59.720 class to shut up at one point after we learned 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.320 some lesson or something. This teacher, I don't 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.080 remember what this teacher... was on but they 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.860 would and i'm using the term they because i don't 00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:12.059 remember if it was a male teacher female teacher 00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:15.379 i i don't remember all as i remember is anytime 00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:19.320 they wanted us to shut up they would get out 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:23.679 the tv and vcr and put on the gods must be crazy 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:30.399 to make us shut up i don't know why but all right 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.720 1980 also i want to bring up that there was like 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.669 a A thing about Superman 2, you were like, it 00:10:37.669 --> 00:10:40.090 actually premiered, it came to America in 1981. 00:10:40.889 --> 00:10:45.330 Yeah. It premiered in 1980. Every list I've seen 00:10:45.330 --> 00:10:49.250 with it has it premiering in 1980. It premiered 00:10:49.250 --> 00:10:54.070 in Australia or Sweden or whatever in 1980, yes. 00:10:54.330 --> 00:10:57.210 It premiered in 1980. It doesn't matter. Because 00:10:57.210 --> 00:10:59.029 you wouldn't have seen it in 1981 anyway. You 00:10:59.029 --> 00:11:09.820 would have been a year old. Yeah. Keep in mind, 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.919 everyone listening at home, this is supposed 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.740 to be fun. Yeah, it is fun. I'm having fun going 00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:19.200 through my emotional trauma of trying to pick 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.879 a movie here. People are into that. People make 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.320 good money doing that. Alright, alright, fine. 00:11:26.779 --> 00:11:32.269 I'm just gonna... What are we gonna pick? No, 00:11:32.269 --> 00:11:34.789 no, hold on, hold on. I'm going to pick it, but 00:11:34.789 --> 00:11:37.210 I'm going to also say... Are we going to do this 00:11:37.210 --> 00:11:41.549 for every year? You decide on the spot? No, but 00:11:41.549 --> 00:11:46.590 no. No, no, no. No gods. Not yet, anyway. I will 00:11:46.590 --> 00:11:52.450 say that my list has multiple listings as we 00:11:52.450 --> 00:11:56.210 go along, and I have marked in red my actual 00:11:56.210 --> 00:12:00.019 picks. So I wish I could give you a hard time 00:12:00.019 --> 00:12:02.759 about that. My list had moments like that, too. 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.879 So I mentioned the gods must be crazy. So at 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.620 least I mentioned it. We mentioned Empire. And 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:15.039 for me, I found Empire so much later. I mean, 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.899 I didn't find Empire. I didn't find the trilogy 00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:23.379 until like 87. I saw Spaceballs before I saw 00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:28.110 Star Wars. Okay. I don't know what that has to 00:12:28.110 --> 00:12:32.070 do with anything. You found it when you found 00:12:32.070 --> 00:12:36.950 it. I know. I understand that. One of the biggest 00:12:36.950 --> 00:12:40.409 Star Wars fans I know was born in 1983. Okay. 00:12:43.769 --> 00:12:47.149 Which is my point. You come to it when you come 00:12:47.149 --> 00:12:51.509 to it. Right. And again... I don't care that 00:12:51.509 --> 00:12:54.450 you don't pick Empire. It's not my list. My only 00:12:54.450 --> 00:12:56.889 thing is that it felt like you were using this 00:12:56.889 --> 00:13:00.529 really weird non -technicality to get out of 00:13:00.529 --> 00:13:04.929 a hard decision. No, no, no. I was trying to 00:13:04.929 --> 00:13:08.230 clarify because I had a Lady and the Tramp story 00:13:08.230 --> 00:13:12.570 and the only time Lady and the Tramp was listed 00:13:12.570 --> 00:13:17.409 in the 80s was the 1980 re -release. I was just 00:13:17.409 --> 00:13:21.099 clarifying. This isn't our favorite movies. I 00:13:21.099 --> 00:13:23.299 would have had a much different list if you had 00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:26.559 to pick your, in my case, 54 favorite movies. 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.200 It would be a radically different list than what 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.919 I came up with. Right. Part of the thing is you're 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.480 stuck with what the years were. You know what 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.220 I mean? Right. Again, as we talked about with 00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:41.320 1984, half of those movies would be on my list 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.639 of 54 favorite movies of all time. And maybe 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.639 we'll do that podcast, but that's not what this 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:51.539 thing is. You know what I mean? The thing is, 00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:53.279 you're locked into whatever came out that year. 00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:59.600 Movies by your age. 54 favorite movies of all 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.700 time, of your time. 45 of mine. That's not my 00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:06.820 time. No, no, no, but I'm saying... Cousin Kane 00:14:06.820 --> 00:14:10.139 was in the 40s? No, no, no. I mean, Casablanca 00:14:10.139 --> 00:14:13.500 was in the... Maltese Falcon was... Yeah, anyway. 00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:18.460 And those didn't make my list because they weren't... 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.659 A year I lived. Yes. I'm just saying, it felt 00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:25.200 like, just pick your movie, man. No, it wasn't 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.120 a dodge. It was a question. This whole thing 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.419 is train wreck right at the very beginning. Of 00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:31.639 course. It's the way it always is around here 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.500 at the Geek Cast Radio Network. Don't you know 00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:38.600 this by now? Alright, 1980. Superman 2. The Lester 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:45.179 cut. The theatrical Lester cut was the cut I 00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:54.590 saw as a child. End of story. Period. I don't 00:14:54.590 --> 00:14:56.830 remember ever making a big argument for the Donner 00:14:56.830 --> 00:15:01.330 cut. No, no, no. I'm not saying this for you. 00:15:01.549 --> 00:15:04.470 I'm saying this for the audience. I don't know 00:15:04.470 --> 00:15:06.149 what you have against polar bears, but whatever. 00:15:06.490 --> 00:15:09.490 Fine. The only thing I remember about the Donner 00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:12.269 cut was there was a shot of a polar bear. Okay, 00:15:12.269 --> 00:15:17.250 okay, okay. 1981. Yeah, let's, let's, let's. 00:15:17.389 --> 00:15:20.009 I'm interested to see what you go here. Yeah, 00:15:20.049 --> 00:15:25.009 so really quickly, like I said. I know you are. 00:15:25.269 --> 00:15:28.309 I'm glad you are. That's good. Apparently you've 00:15:28.309 --> 00:15:30.350 got some kind of weird chip on your shoulder 00:15:30.350 --> 00:15:36.509 about the Donner cut, but like. Dude, just no. 00:15:37.149 --> 00:15:40.950 Look. You see, my problem is I am too old. All 00:15:40.950 --> 00:15:43.710 these weird cuts, to me, they're laser discs. 00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:47.200 The LaserDiscs had the weird cut of Star Trek 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:52.159 The Motion Picture and Superman 2 and Aliens. 00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:58.940 My brain has never adapted to a post -DVD slash 00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:03.600 Blu -ray world where in the early days that stuff 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.159 was normal. I'm on board these days with 4K because 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:10.299 I have a 4K television and I'm more than fine 00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:15.059 with whatever, but I can't go back. And not reconcile. 00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:17.980 Now this is part of my memory. And this is my 00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:20.139 reasoning for Superman 2. Now that I finally 00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:23.759 made my choice. Of Superman 2. I remember being 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:28.039 on. Being in South Dennis Massachusetts. On Cape 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:31.399 Cod. At my Uncle Richard and Aunt Cheryl's house. 00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:34.799 On the Cape in Massachusetts. I remember watching 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.879 that movie. Every single time. I would go to 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.519 their house. And I remember just. Enjoying the 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:47.370 hell out of that. film all the time every single 00:16:47.370 --> 00:16:50.509 time like it was just the thing i did every time 00:16:50.509 --> 00:16:52.990 i would go to their house and then fast forward 00:16:52.990 --> 00:16:55.450 all these years later finally hey guess what 00:16:55.450 --> 00:16:58.990 there's this donner cut they changed all this 00:16:58.990 --> 00:17:02.110 stuff they did this they did that and it's so 00:17:02.110 --> 00:17:03.970 much different and it's so much better and it 00:17:03.970 --> 00:17:07.509 makes it a better story fuck off sorry not sorry 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.859 And I'm really not sorry. Because this time, 00:17:10.900 --> 00:17:14.380 I won't stop until you're just a greasy smear 00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:19.460 on my fist. 1981! Alright, here we go. So folks, 00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:21.619 I did not know this, and we are going to find 00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:24.319 this out at some point, most likely next year, 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.759 considering the schedule that this podcast has 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.500 at this point. But this movie has an uncredited 00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:37.000 role of a homeless watch salesman. How you doing, 00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:42.480 young fella? Okay, I guess. Penny for your thoughts. 00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:48.359 Well, it's a long story. But a familiar one, 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:53.920 I bet. Older than the hills. I've been there, 00:17:53.980 --> 00:17:57.759 my friend. I've been there and back. You know, 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:01.380 I see the way you're sitting here. I see the 00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:03.039 way you got your hand around that little shoe, 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.240 and that's all I need. I know your whole story. 00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:12.720 You do? Absolutely. It was 1981, and the homeless 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.019 watch salesman was played by none other than 00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:20.359 Peter Falk in The Great Muppet Caper. Oh, okay. 00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:26.500 Yeah. I've watched that scene on YouTube. No, 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:28.019 I watched the whole movie. I watched the whole 00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:30.579 movie a couple years ago. No, no, no, but just 00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:34.359 recently, because I did a visit to Chicago. and 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.059 I likened the place where I stayed to the Happiness 00:18:37.059 --> 00:18:43.000 Hotel. Yeah, no, I absolutely love The Great 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.759 Muppet Caper. It is one of my favorite Muppet 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:52.160 movies. It's so funny. They can't get out of 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.980 their own way. I love the thing that Kermit and 00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:57.619 Fozzie are brothers, and there's that picture 00:18:57.619 --> 00:19:00.680 of their dad. I love that. That's hilarious. 00:19:01.630 --> 00:19:06.849 So funny. The Great Muppet Caper is pure Muppet 00:19:06.849 --> 00:19:10.789 comedy gold. I can't wait to revisit it when 00:19:10.789 --> 00:19:12.829 we eventually do the Muppet Spotlight at some 00:19:12.829 --> 00:19:17.089 point here on the podcast. Hopefully before I'm 00:19:17.089 --> 00:19:25.430 dead and gone. 1982! I would not have seen this 00:19:25.430 --> 00:19:30.990 movie until 2010. But the pick for 82 is Tron. 00:19:31.490 --> 00:19:35.109 And the story behind that is that, like I said, 00:19:35.329 --> 00:19:41.990 I did not see that until 2010 when its sequel 00:19:41.990 --> 00:19:46.769 came out. And it was like Tron Fever in 2010. 00:19:46.910 --> 00:19:50.690 And I will talk more about that when we get to 00:19:50.690 --> 00:19:57.630 2010. But for the time, wow. What a movie. 1983. 00:19:58.569 --> 00:20:00.910 I think we should stop and acknowledge all the 00:20:00.910 --> 00:20:03.509 movie bros that are going to come at us for neither 00:20:03.509 --> 00:20:06.509 of us picking Blade Runner. I've never seen it. 00:20:06.769 --> 00:20:11.769 I have. It's fine. It's not my thing, bro. Calm 00:20:11.769 --> 00:20:15.990 down. I'm just like, I know someone's going to 00:20:15.990 --> 00:20:19.470 be like, they didn't pick Blade Runner. Look, 00:20:20.309 --> 00:20:23.630 not every geek can be the same. Not every geek 00:20:23.630 --> 00:20:26.519 should be the same. I'm just saying. I know you 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:28.819 know, but I'm not. I'm acknowledging that Blade 00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:33.079 Runner exists. Now, calm down. It's fine. Android's 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.019 dream of electric sheep. He's going to die anyway. 00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:41.180 But who doesn't? Android's dream of electric 00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:43.099 sheep? What's the name of the book that it was 00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:45.039 based on? Do Android's dream of electric sheep? 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.440 I'm sitting there thinking of, like, I guess 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.730 that's what... Maybe you should just move on 00:20:53.730 --> 00:20:57.869 to your movie choice. I was trying to remember 00:20:57.869 --> 00:21:00.589 the dog's name. Please, just move on to the movie 00:21:00.589 --> 00:21:07.450 choice. 1983, folks. I will give an honorable 00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:11.150 mention to the best ending to a saga ever in 00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:13.349 Return of the Jedi, but my choice is Trading 00:21:13.349 --> 00:21:18.710 Places. Because, damn, Trading Places. Oh, my 00:21:18.710 --> 00:21:23.069 God. Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd in that movie. 00:21:24.349 --> 00:21:29.250 Hilarious. It has a... I don't know if it's uncredited. 00:21:29.450 --> 00:21:32.930 He better be credited. I'm not looking at Wikipedia 00:21:32.930 --> 00:21:37.609 or IMDb, but it is Paul Gleeson in that before 00:21:37.609 --> 00:21:40.170 he was Mr. Vernon in The Breakfast Club two years 00:21:40.170 --> 00:21:44.609 later. But he ends up in the... in the gorilla 00:21:44.609 --> 00:21:48.750 suit at the end. But it's got Edward and Mortimer 00:21:48.750 --> 00:21:52.029 Duke, and it's got the Duke brothers, and one 00:21:52.029 --> 00:21:55.150 of those guys ends up playing one of the grandparents 00:21:55.150 --> 00:21:58.670 on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. By 00:21:58.670 --> 00:22:00.569 the way, the original Vacation came out this 00:22:00.569 --> 00:22:06.529 year, or that year, 83. Yes, it did. Yep. And 00:22:06.529 --> 00:22:10.529 to this day, I think there are only two Vacation 00:22:10.529 --> 00:22:14.250 movies I've ever seen. Christmas vacation and 00:22:14.250 --> 00:22:17.730 Vegas vacation, and I'm perfectly fine. I've 00:22:17.730 --> 00:22:21.750 seen the original, I've seen European, and I've 00:22:21.750 --> 00:22:24.289 seen Christmas. European was fun because when 00:22:24.289 --> 00:22:26.529 I actually went to Europe, we were quoting that 00:22:26.529 --> 00:22:31.289 stupid, look, it's Big Ben Parliament. Our handlers 00:22:31.289 --> 00:22:33.210 were very sick of us by the time we were done. 00:22:34.470 --> 00:22:38.329 But Trading Places is so fun because it's... 00:22:38.990 --> 00:22:42.430 It's two guys who are kind of lost in their lives. 00:22:42.589 --> 00:22:46.529 One needs to find a way to do something. It's 00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:52.529 just a fun, fun movie. It's a fun comedy. It's 00:22:52.529 --> 00:22:55.970 Eddie Murphy and it's Dan Aykroyd. They just 00:22:55.970 --> 00:22:58.430 do so many weird, awesome things in it. It's 00:22:58.430 --> 00:23:05.900 really cool. So fun. 1984. Oh boy, 1984. I didn't 00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:09.380 find it to be such a bloodbath as you did. It 00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:13.000 is a bloodbath. I agree. There are a lot in 1984. 00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:16.779 But then there's Helen Slater. Because, damn, 00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:20.980 Supergirl. That's the choice. And I'm sticking 00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:30.720 with it. That movie. Oh, my God. I remember I 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.480 would have watched it later because I was four 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.259 years old in 1984. I would have watched it probably 00:23:36.259 --> 00:23:41.059 close to 87 when Superman 4 came around. I would 00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:43.420 have Supergirl on repeat. You've had your fun, 00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:48.359 Selina. The game is finished. On VHS. Most likely. 00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:51.740 In 87 as a 7 -year -old. Did you grow up on a 00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:55.299 farm? No. I grew up in a city. That's a Red Letter 00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:57.920 Media reference to their Supergirl episode. Yes. 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.480 No, I did not grow up on a farm. I grew up on 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.380 a farm and the only tapes they had were Supergirl 00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:05.920 and something else. So you watched Supergirl 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:12.119 a lot. Ghostbusters? I'm genuinely like, really? 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:16.480 Yeah, no. Here's the thing about Ghostbusters. 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:18.680 You're going to redeem my choice on that one. 00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:22.900 No, here's the thing about Ghostbusters is that 00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:27.859 Ghostbusters is a comedy horror movie. Oh, for 00:24:27.859 --> 00:24:32.170 fuck's sake. No, no, no. I'm not judging. I love 00:24:32.170 --> 00:24:35.769 Ghostbusters. I do. But here's the thing, and 00:24:35.769 --> 00:24:39.190 this is the thing with me. In my movie watching 00:24:39.190 --> 00:24:42.990 as a child, as I found movies... You just saw 00:24:42.990 --> 00:24:47.390 Tron in 2010. I often... Right. You didn't have 00:24:47.390 --> 00:24:50.569 any emotional connection with it. I often found 00:24:50.569 --> 00:24:55.460 sequels before I found originals. So I saw Ghostbusters 00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:59.920 2 before I ever saw Ghostbusters. So I saw. No, 00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:05.420 it is. Absolutely. 100%. I love Ghostbusters 00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:10.079 2. My point is, is that I saw Ghostbusters 2 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:13.000 before I saw Ghostbusters. I saw Beverly Hills 00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:17.059 Cop 2 before I saw Beverly Hills Cop. I love 00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:20.920 both films equally. I have loved both films equally 00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.920 now, but if we're talking about Little Mikey 00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:28.240 in the 80s, Little Mikey in the 80s didn't see 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:33.740 Ghostbusters at all. I never saw it until probably 00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:40.220 1996 or 7. I was 16 or 17 years old when I first 00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:43.539 saw Ghostbusters, probably. Probably the best 00:25:43.539 --> 00:25:46.319 age to do it, because you... I saw it when I 00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.720 was 13. Like, you don't necessarily get all the 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:53.140 jokes when you're 13. I mean, I kind of knew 00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:55.660 what was happening with the ghost and Dan Aykroyd 00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:58.720 in the, quote, dream sequence, which was originally 00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:00.640 supposed to be, like, a thing that actually happened. 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:04.819 But, I mean, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yep. 00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:10.779 I feel bad that I went highbrow in 84. No, hey, 00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:13.019 your list is your list. I personally feel bad 00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:16.430 that I, but I... I do, in fact, love that movie. 00:26:16.450 --> 00:26:17.829 I also want to acknowledge Footloose, because 00:26:17.829 --> 00:26:20.869 that was a favorite of someone who was very close 00:26:20.869 --> 00:26:23.490 to me. That was one of those films that every 00:26:23.490 --> 00:26:27.210 time it was on TV, I was like, okay, oh gosh, 00:26:27.309 --> 00:26:29.990 Footloose again. That and Harris Bueller. I think 00:26:29.990 --> 00:26:45.220 I broke my thumb. Anyway. Which reminds me, I 00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:48.400 need to make a little note here to talk about 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.900 this in that year when it comes up, because damn. 00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:59.039 1985. There's only one movie in 85 that I constantly 00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:05.259 begged my mom. Like, if we didn't return this 00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:08.539 VHS to the video store at the time, which was 00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:10.480 Adventure and Video in Kingston, Massachusetts. 00:27:11.780 --> 00:27:14.880 we would have had a million dollar late fees 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.019 instead of late fees because I would have kept 00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:22.220 this over. We just constantly kept re -renting 00:27:22.220 --> 00:27:24.279 it because I watched it over and over and over 00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:30.140 again. And that was He -Man and She -Ra, The 00:27:30.140 --> 00:28:37.269 Secret of the Sword. Let's move, Kat. I could 00:28:37.269 --> 00:28:42.730 not. Like, this was huge. As a He -Man fan, as 00:28:42.730 --> 00:28:45.349 a kid who grew up on He -Man, as someone who 00:28:45.349 --> 00:28:48.750 had practically all of the toys, I've said this 00:28:48.750 --> 00:28:51.849 before on other podcasts, I had Castle Grayskull, 00:28:52.029 --> 00:28:56.170 I had Snake Mountain, I had everything from that 00:28:56.170 --> 00:28:58.630 toy line. I grew up watching that cartoon when 00:28:58.630 --> 00:29:00.950 that movie, when that animated film came out. 00:29:01.190 --> 00:29:03.549 I didn't get to see it in theaters, but once 00:29:03.549 --> 00:29:08.970 that VHS came out, oh man, just... Absolutely 00:29:08.970 --> 00:29:15.309 watched it over and over and over again. And 00:29:15.309 --> 00:29:20.170 it was just, just amazing. Absolutely amazing. 00:29:20.390 --> 00:29:24.529 And again, it's no shade to back to the future 00:29:24.529 --> 00:29:28.109 and, and any like breakfast club and any of the 00:29:28.109 --> 00:29:32.269 other 85 movies that are, that are in 1985. But 00:29:32.269 --> 00:29:37.049 for me, for my memories, for my childhood, that 00:29:37.049 --> 00:29:43.079 like, I don't remember like how I saw back to 00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:47.059 the future was I saw it as a marathon because 00:29:47.059 --> 00:29:53.960 I saw all of them in like late 1990, early 1991 00:29:53.960 --> 00:30:00.299 when they were all out on VHS. So, but in 85, 00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:04.400 86, when he managed to the secret of the sword 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:10.039 finally came to. vhs at the time i was renting 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:13.240 that thing every other day as long as my mom 00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:16.519 let me absolutely love that this is such a good 00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:20.079 that is you're gonna kill me for this but it's 00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.819 true because and and the producers of it actually 00:30:22.819 --> 00:30:25.940 even said that's essentially the fantasy the 00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:28.400 the you know how they say science fiction and 00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.059 fantasy like oh here's your star wars and here's 00:30:31.059 --> 00:30:34.089 your lord of the rings That technically is your 00:30:34.089 --> 00:30:36.509 first ever Lord of the Rings, quote unquote, 00:30:36.589 --> 00:30:40.410 type version of Star Wars. Because you have... 00:30:40.410 --> 00:30:45.349 Star Wars is a fantasy film. Yeah, well, it's 00:30:45.349 --> 00:30:47.430 also... No, it is a fantasy film with science 00:30:47.430 --> 00:30:50.130 fiction trappings, but it's a fantasy film. And 00:30:50.130 --> 00:30:53.130 they actually did Lord of the Rings in the 70s. 00:30:53.890 --> 00:30:57.470 And that same year that you're picking also had 00:30:57.470 --> 00:31:07.049 Legend. Legend? Legend? Huh? Tom Cruise? Tim 00:31:07.049 --> 00:31:11.990 Curry? Yeah. Really? Tim Curry's in that? Tim 00:31:11.990 --> 00:31:16.589 Curry's the devil. I don't remember. I have... 00:31:16.589 --> 00:31:20.470 I mean, this is the thing that I say quite a 00:31:20.470 --> 00:31:25.829 bit. I have the action figure. Okay. I believe 00:31:25.829 --> 00:31:32.420 you. Alright. 1986. Oh, man. Can anybody guess? 00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:36.339 Blue Velvet. There's only really two options 00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:42.420 here. Platoon. Huh? Platoon. There's only really 00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:45.420 two options here. You're either going to get 00:31:45.420 --> 00:31:50.119 a day off or you're going to be transforming 00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:54.700 yourself. Oh, boy. Transformers the movie. Megatron 00:31:54.700 --> 00:32:00.569 must be stopped, no matter the cost. I thought 00:32:00.569 --> 00:32:03.269 about going with Ferris Bueller's Day Off because, 00:32:03.369 --> 00:32:07.950 you know, it's Ferris, but it has to come to 00:32:07.950 --> 00:32:11.869 Transformers because without Knight Rider, without 00:32:11.869 --> 00:32:15.069 Transformers, without He -Man and the Masters 00:32:15.069 --> 00:32:18.089 of the Universe, without Thundercats and without 00:32:18.089 --> 00:32:22.420 Mask, without those five things. in the 80s i 00:32:22.420 --> 00:32:26.599 probably and later well 86 this will translate 00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:28.819 to when we do the tv version of this without 00:32:28.819 --> 00:32:31.859 alph i would probably not be the person that 00:32:31.859 --> 00:32:35.460 i am today if those things never happened but 00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:38.680 transformers the movie need i say more we have 00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.480 so many various different versions of commentaries 00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:43.380 and discussions here at the geek castrated network 00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:45.720 of transformers the movie i can link several 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:48.799 of them in the show notes folks it's transformers 00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:51.839 the movie You want to know something? Uh -oh. 00:32:52.339 --> 00:32:55.880 I'm scared. I have waited like this whole episode. 00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.880 Now I get to say it. I get to say it. My turn. 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:08.500 I've never seen that movie. Okay. 1987. 1987 00:33:08.500 --> 00:33:14.940 had a lot. But again, it goes to the sequel I 00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:17.519 saw before the first one and the sequel that 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.240 I think is the best 80s sequel when it comes 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.859 to action movies beverly hills cop 2 are you 00:33:25.859 --> 00:33:28.559 driving with your eyes open are you like using 00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.480 the force at least when it comes to 80s action 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.299 sequels beverly hills cop 2 nail like the first 00:33:35.299 --> 00:33:38.119 one is great the first one is amazing it does 00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:41.640 everything that it's supposed to do but the second 00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:46.779 one just axle get out of the goddamn pool Like, 00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:49.799 you know, just everything. Absolutely love that. 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.859 And the Harold Foltermeyer score from the first 00:33:52.859 --> 00:33:57.519 film to the second film, just, oh, man. I love 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:01.799 that movie. 100 % love that movie. 1988. 1988. 00:34:03.900 --> 00:34:07.980 At first, I only had one listed. And then as 00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:09.980 we were talking, I was like, hey, wait a minute. 00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:12.440 I have to throw something else on here. Not because 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:14.679 I'm going to pick it, but because I want to talk 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:19.010 about it. the shack is back everybody loves the 00:34:19.010 --> 00:34:21.489 goddamn gopher i don't care what anybody says 00:34:21.489 --> 00:34:24.530 everybody loves the gopher that's what i say 00:34:24.530 --> 00:34:29.650 i know but everybody does i say it too if you 00:34:29.650 --> 00:34:31.489 don't love the gopher there's something wrong 00:34:31.489 --> 00:34:36.050 with you i try to remember is like was the gopher 00:34:36.050 --> 00:34:40.489 frank welker i think it was frank welker but 00:34:40.489 --> 00:34:43.860 i could be wrong If I'm wrong, I'll correct myself 00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:49.300 in another episode down the line. Anyway, the 00:34:49.300 --> 00:34:52.440 reason, other than the gopher, the reason why 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:55.780 I, the two reasons, one is a very stupid reason, 00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:58.800 but the two reasons why I love Caddyshack 2. 00:34:59.019 --> 00:35:02.219 You got Kenny Loggins back with a different song, 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.539 with a new song, which is Nobody's Fool, which 00:35:05.539 --> 00:35:09.699 I love that song. Absolutely love it. And that 00:35:09.699 --> 00:35:12.519 opening scene where Jonathan Silverman is running 00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.880 across because little Miss Priss there wants 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:18.559 a diet root beer. And the root beer company that 00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:22.739 they got to do it was Hires Root Beer, which 00:35:22.739 --> 00:35:26.440 is a New England company. And that's the stupid 00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:29.599 reason why I love this movie is because it's 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:33.659 from where I'm originally from kind of thing. 00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:37.099 So, but I just absolutely love Caddyshack 2. 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:42.059 But no, the one, my actual pick for 1988 is Ryan 00:35:42.059 --> 00:35:49.440 Brown. And a little lone guy who is, you know, 00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:53.099 just came off being a fighter pilot in 1986. 00:35:54.480 --> 00:36:01.639 Just came off assignment at Top Gun. 1988's Cocktail. 00:36:03.949 --> 00:36:07.230 I don't drink, but I love this fucking movie. 00:36:07.309 --> 00:36:13.750 This movie, Cocktail, has the best 80s live action, 00:36:13.809 --> 00:36:17.010 one of the best, I'm not going to say the best, 00:36:17.070 --> 00:36:22.769 one of the best soundtracks ever in the 80s. 00:36:22.949 --> 00:36:27.570 And it's just about... a regular guy who's getting 00:36:27.570 --> 00:36:29.889 home from the army and he's trying to figure 00:36:29.889 --> 00:36:32.349 out his life and what he wants to do and how 00:36:32.349 --> 00:36:35.090 he wants to go about doing it and he falls into 00:36:35.090 --> 00:36:39.110 bartending and how that can make him a doesn't 00:36:39.110 --> 00:36:41.389 make him a billion but his big thing in the movie 00:36:41.389 --> 00:36:43.610 is he wants to make a million bucks and he wants 00:36:43.610 --> 00:36:45.969 the wants the american dream and this that the 00:36:45.969 --> 00:36:48.739 other thing and To tie it back into Back to the 00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:52.400 Future, Elizabeth Shue ends up being his girlfriend 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.820 in this movie. So you got, because she will eventually 00:36:55.820 --> 00:36:59.019 replace, oh, what's her name? Was it Elizabeth 00:36:59.019 --> 00:37:02.940 Shue? Claudia Wells. Huh? Was it Elizabeth Shue 00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:06.400 who was Jennifer in the two and three? In two 00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.639 and three, yes. It was Claudia Wells in the first 00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:12.980 movie. But yeah, so yeah, Cocktail. I absolutely 00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:16.400 love Cocktail. Cocktail introduced me to Brian 00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.019 Brown, who would then go on... You're right, 00:37:20.099 --> 00:37:21.079 you're right, you're right. Never mind, never 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:23.159 mind. I'm getting my brain mixed up with Leah 00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:26.300 Thompson, who was... The mother. The mother, 00:37:26.380 --> 00:37:29.380 yes. Yeah. My bad, my bad. It's okay, it's okay. 00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:33.539 But Cocktail introduced me to Brian Brown, who 00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:36.219 I would eventually then go on to see on television, 00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:40.059 because the movie was on, you know, hey... This 00:37:40.059 --> 00:37:42.539 week's movie is blah, blah, blah. I would then 00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:46.219 go on to see him on FX and FX2. Yeah, FX is really 00:37:46.219 --> 00:37:48.579 good. I was going to ask you to see that. I love 00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:52.219 those movies. I need to get them on Blu -ray, 00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:56.860 4K, whatever. I can't wait. But yeah, Cocktail 00:37:56.860 --> 00:38:02.119 for 1988 would be my 1988 choice. 1989, this 00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:07.480 is rough. Because I scrolled through 1989 fairly 00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:13.579 fast. And I really only put one thing on here. 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:18.900 I didn't like every other year. I pretty much 00:38:18.900 --> 00:38:22.480 looked through because the way I did it was on 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.800 Wikipedia list of American films of insert year. 00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:31.820 And I am not picking Batman. Because my Batman 00:38:31.820 --> 00:38:35.559 story. No, no, no. I understand. I don't know 00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.519 if I said this in your episode, but my Batman 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:41.639 story is I saw it like one or two years later 00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:47.239 in a JCPenney. I mean, you picked Tron. Yeah, 00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:50.579 well... Which is on 2010. Uh -huh. Yeah, yeah. 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:59.360 But what... 89. Oh, God. I swear, was that movie 00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:02.489 in here? Here, let's just do it this way. So 00:39:02.489 --> 00:39:06.989 anyway, 89, one of my choices was going to be... 00:39:06.989 --> 00:39:14.429 Yeah. It's not a tie, but the choices I am wrestling 00:39:14.429 --> 00:39:17.250 with are... The first thing I wrote down and 00:39:17.250 --> 00:39:19.269 the only thing I wrote down was Last Crusade. 00:39:21.590 --> 00:39:24.530 And then the choice that I just thought of was 00:39:24.530 --> 00:39:28.789 Uncle Buck with John Candy, Macaulay Culkin. 00:39:30.610 --> 00:39:36.130 And as much as I love Last Crusade, and as much 00:39:36.130 --> 00:39:39.949 as I love Indy, I gotta give it to Buck. Because 00:39:39.949 --> 00:39:44.010 damn, if that's not one of his best comedies 00:39:44.010 --> 00:39:49.250 he ever did. Just, it's so good. Again, you have 00:39:49.250 --> 00:39:55.889 a character who, it seems, he seems to be this 00:39:55.889 --> 00:40:03.760 guy who, knows everybody this guy who seems to 00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:07.340 be this hard worker but at the same time he seems 00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:11.000 to be a slacker everybody thinks he's he's this 00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:14.039 lazy good for nothing even though he's not it's 00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:20.159 john candy and it's just so funny here's a quarter 00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:23.760 why don't you take this and go down to wherever 00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.320 and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face 00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:30.820 when he's talking to the principal Like, just, 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:35.639 oh man. And this is essentially a year before, 00:40:35.699 --> 00:40:38.559 yeah, because Home Alone came out in 90, right? 00:40:39.019 --> 00:40:44.599 Yeah. Huh? Yes, it did come out in 90. Yeah, 00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.760 I saw this backwards. I saw Buck after I saw 00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:51.500 Home Alone, so I was kind of shocked in like 00:40:51.500 --> 00:40:55.760 late 90, early 91. I was like, hey, there's Kevin 00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:59.860 McAllister with Buck Russell. And I'm like, hey, 00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.460 that's cool, younger. Oh, cool. But no, I absolutely 00:41:04.460 --> 00:41:08.880 love it. It's so funny. It's so good. So, so 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:13.019 absolutely good. 1990, again, wrestling between 00:41:13.019 --> 00:41:17.300 two things here. Dick Tracy was one choice. And 00:41:17.300 --> 00:41:21.440 then the only choice I can go with is Lean Mean 00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:26.219 Green. And on the screen. Hey, dudes, this ain't 00:41:26.219 --> 00:41:28.960 no cartoon. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I know. 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:37.480 They did it. They did it. It's... I mean, I think 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.739 the... For a lot of people, I think they were 00:41:39.739 --> 00:41:41.599 disappointed because it was more like the comic 00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.719 book than the cartoon. But I think it's a good 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:50.139 film. Yeah, it was... So they kept bits and pieces 00:41:50.139 --> 00:41:53.019 of each. They added a little bit more seriousness. 00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:55.739 I think that's why the sequel. Yeah, it was a 00:41:55.739 --> 00:41:58.099 lot more serious. The second one was goofy, but 00:41:58.099 --> 00:42:01.559 the first one was pretty serious. Yeah, the first 00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:03.519 one was pretty serious. There are a lot of good 00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:07.900 funny moments. What's the Donnie and Casey? Dome 00:42:07.900 --> 00:42:12.739 head. Elf lips. Gak face. When they're fixing 00:42:12.739 --> 00:42:15.019 the thing up in the farm. When they're fixing 00:42:15.019 --> 00:42:17.289 the truck. between Donnie and Casey, they go 00:42:17.289 --> 00:42:19.769 back and forth. There are funny moments that, 00:42:19.829 --> 00:42:21.750 you know, I'm not saying, no, I'm not saying 00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:26.130 it's like, you know, but like, you know, but 00:42:26.130 --> 00:42:28.550 it's, but it's not, it doesn't have the ninja 00:42:28.550 --> 00:42:33.570 rap. Yeah. So going from 1987 with the cartoon, 00:42:33.630 --> 00:42:37.010 the cartoon being what it was versus what the 00:42:37.010 --> 00:42:40.610 comic book was in 84. And I had never read the 00:42:40.610 --> 00:42:44.750 comic. I started with the cartoon in 87. So for 00:42:44.750 --> 00:42:48.420 me, seeing how serious it was as a 10 year old. 00:42:48.460 --> 00:42:51.880 Like I saw it in theaters as a 10 year old. Yeah. 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:56.500 Yes, folks. We are, we are old men. He's an older, 00:42:56.579 --> 00:42:59.679 I mean, I also was first introduced to it with 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:01.780 the cartoon and the video game and the toys. 00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:04.239 And when I got to college, someone had like all 00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.780 the collections of the comics of the comics. 00:43:06.860 --> 00:43:10.980 Yeah. Yeah. And. I'm only doing this because 00:43:10.980 --> 00:43:13.960 we're recording this in the moment, folks. We're 00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:17.880 recording this. What the hell is today's date? 00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:22.619 It's six, I believe. Yep. Okay. We're recording 00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:28.699 this July 26, 2025. And recently Hulk Hogan has 00:43:28.699 --> 00:43:34.079 passed away. One of the choices I wrote down, 00:43:34.179 --> 00:43:36.000 even though it is not my choice, but one of my 00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:39.920 choices I wrote down was 1991 Suburban Commando. 00:43:40.739 --> 00:43:43.320 Because that was the only movie I ever saw Hulk 00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:49.139 Hogan in. And it was just a funny... You never 00:43:49.139 --> 00:43:54.280 saw Rocky III? Okay. You never saw Gremlins 2? 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:58.420 Depending on the cut? Wait, I don't remember 00:43:58.420 --> 00:44:02.110 him in Gremlins 2. The film breaks. And he starts 00:44:02.110 --> 00:44:03.889 yelling at the, he's in the audience and he starts 00:44:03.889 --> 00:44:05.809 yelling at the gremlins. You want to face me, 00:44:05.829 --> 00:44:09.190 brother? That's right. That's yeah. I just saw 00:44:09.190 --> 00:44:12.650 that. Okay. That's right. I just saw that clip 00:44:12.650 --> 00:44:16.190 too. Oh my God. How did I forget that? Okay. 00:44:16.289 --> 00:44:19.809 Yes, I did see, but like Rocky three to me is, 00:44:19.849 --> 00:44:22.349 is yeah, he's not the star. I mean, I will concede 00:44:22.349 --> 00:44:23.650 he's not the star of the movie, but he's in it. 00:44:23.690 --> 00:44:26.809 Oh yeah. Like I'm like 90 % sure that's the first 00:44:26.809 --> 00:44:29.670 time I ever saw Hulk Hogan. Oh, I'm sure. And 00:44:29.670 --> 00:44:31.969 for me, and I think I said this last time, I 00:44:31.969 --> 00:44:34.489 could be wrong, but for me, I actually got to 00:44:34.489 --> 00:44:40.630 see him. I think it was May 3rd, 1986. Yeah, 00:44:40.690 --> 00:44:44.230 May 3rd, 1986. I think it's the Providence Civic 00:44:44.230 --> 00:44:47.070 Center in Providence, Rhode Island. It was him 00:44:47.070 --> 00:44:49.730 and Junkyard Dog, who has been gone now for a 00:44:49.730 --> 00:44:53.550 long time. They were teaming up against the Funk 00:44:53.550 --> 00:44:56.750 Brothers. Terry Funk and Dory Funk. And I, my 00:44:56.750 --> 00:45:01.630 dad took me and all man, like, I don't remember, 00:45:01.730 --> 00:45:05.250 like, I remember us being there. I don't remember 00:45:05.250 --> 00:45:08.389 what the hell we saw, but I just remember the, 00:45:08.469 --> 00:45:14.489 the just being there and seeing Hulk Hogan and 00:45:14.489 --> 00:45:16.570 junkyard dog team up against somebody was so 00:45:16.570 --> 00:45:20.090 cool. So suburban commando was an honorable mention 00:45:20.090 --> 00:45:24.280 kind of thing, but 1991. It was an all -out bloodbath 00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:31.679 between Bangarang or you ooze, you lose. So Bangarang, 00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:35.380 we all know, is Hook because it's Robin and it's 00:45:35.380 --> 00:45:40.599 Dustin and it's Peter versus Captain James Hook. 00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:46.019 And it's... God. Every movie Robin was ever in. 00:45:46.420 --> 00:45:49.139 Every comedy, every everything. Jesus Christ. 00:45:49.219 --> 00:45:52.710 Holy crap. But yeah, no. Turtles 2 wins because, 00:45:52.849 --> 00:45:57.190 again, I was at the theater. I saw the movie. 00:45:57.670 --> 00:46:05.530 And that opening pizza scene. Oh, my God. The 00:46:05.530 --> 00:46:10.170 opening pizza scene. I still quote, I think it's 00:46:10.170 --> 00:46:12.929 Mikey that does it. He turns, at the end of the 00:46:12.929 --> 00:46:16.269 movie, he turns the knobs. He's like, full volume. 00:46:16.369 --> 00:46:18.670 And then they blow the speakers out at the end. 00:46:18.929 --> 00:46:22.289 It did end Back to the Future. Yes, I know they 00:46:22.289 --> 00:46:24.369 did that in Bags of the Future. Like six years 00:46:24.369 --> 00:46:28.469 earlier. Yes, everything copies everything else. 00:46:29.530 --> 00:46:33.650 That's a pretty specific joke. Yeah, true. But 00:46:33.650 --> 00:46:41.869 TMNT 2, just absolutely. It's just... That was 00:46:41.869 --> 00:46:47.030 the first time. Now, remember this. You've already 00:46:47.030 --> 00:46:49.869 called me out several times about, oh, you didn't 00:46:49.869 --> 00:46:53.070 see Tron until 2010. Because that's your excuse 00:46:53.070 --> 00:46:54.909 for some other things. It's like, well, I didn't 00:46:54.909 --> 00:46:57.489 see it until later. And then you picked a movie 00:46:57.489 --> 00:47:00.469 that you didn't see until later. Well, yeah. 00:47:01.070 --> 00:47:07.869 It's a reason. It seems very convenient. Well, 00:47:07.869 --> 00:47:10.570 no, it's not convenient. It's because I want 00:47:10.570 --> 00:47:14.150 to, specifically to the Tron pic, The reason 00:47:14.150 --> 00:47:16.429 why I didn't talk too much about it is because 00:47:16.429 --> 00:47:19.710 I'm going to talk about it, exploring it and 00:47:19.710 --> 00:47:23.150 finding it together with, because I picked Tron 00:47:23.150 --> 00:47:27.389 Legacy for 2010. So I'm going to talk about them 00:47:27.389 --> 00:47:30.789 together. I don't want to have to, the story 00:47:30.789 --> 00:47:36.010 goes together. So for TMNT 2, the reason why 00:47:36.010 --> 00:47:39.110 I say about the Tron thing, this was the first 00:47:39.110 --> 00:47:42.550 time I had ever seen Because this is a year before 00:47:42.550 --> 00:47:45.110 Batman the Animated Series. First time I'd ever 00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:49.449 seen David Warner. David Warner would go on to 00:47:49.449 --> 00:47:52.090 Batman the Animated Series voicing Ra's al Ghul. 00:47:52.250 --> 00:47:57.110 So, yeah. 1992, Home Alone 2. Lost in New York. 00:47:57.230 --> 00:48:01.010 And it's for one thing, and I always wanted one. 00:48:01.150 --> 00:48:03.809 Thank God I never got one, because it is what 00:48:03.809 --> 00:48:07.090 it is. But I wanted that damn Talkboy recorder 00:48:07.090 --> 00:48:11.800 so much. As a 12 -year -old in 1992. Like, give 00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:13.539 me that damn thing. Let me just pull it through 00:48:13.539 --> 00:48:18.599 the TV. But other than that, I thought it was 00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:22.000 a nice way to do a sequel to the original film. 00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:25.659 Did the original film need a sequel? No. But 00:48:25.659 --> 00:48:31.579 since they did have such a hit on their hands 00:48:31.579 --> 00:48:35.260 with the first movie, I like what they did with 00:48:35.260 --> 00:48:38.650 the second movie. I like that. I like all the 00:48:38.650 --> 00:48:41.489 antics Kevin does in the second movie. I like 00:48:41.489 --> 00:48:45.389 the fact that they tie in his uncle. I think 00:48:45.389 --> 00:48:48.090 it's his Uncle Rob's townhouse. I think it's 00:48:48.090 --> 00:48:51.789 what he says. And I have an Uncle Robert, so 00:48:51.789 --> 00:48:53.869 that kind of fits. Uncle Robert doesn't have 00:48:53.869 --> 00:48:55.989 a townhouse, but at least I don't think he does. 00:48:56.469 --> 00:49:00.889 I don't know. But, you know, I like that. I like 00:49:00.889 --> 00:49:03.210 Harry and Marv. Actually, it's funny because 00:49:03.210 --> 00:49:08.050 a good portion of my Funko Pop collection, I 00:49:08.050 --> 00:49:11.250 have to be Home Alone complete. I have almost 00:49:11.250 --> 00:49:14.429 every Home Alone Funko Pop they have released, 00:49:14.469 --> 00:49:19.070 and they just announced, again, as of July, Home 00:49:19.070 --> 00:49:21.550 Alone 2 Funko Pops coming, and one of them is 00:49:21.550 --> 00:49:27.210 with Harry with the blowtorch hair. So, yeah, 00:49:27.250 --> 00:49:34.929 Home Alone 2 for 1992. 1993... 1993 was kind 00:49:34.929 --> 00:49:38.989 of... There was a lot of stuff. I'm trying to 00:49:38.989 --> 00:49:43.849 think if there was... Obviously, the one I would 00:49:43.849 --> 00:49:47.769 probably go for would be TMNT 3, but... Nah. 00:49:48.809 --> 00:49:52.610 I found this about a year or so later, and I 00:49:52.610 --> 00:49:56.769 didn't know what it was, but it slowly became 00:49:56.769 --> 00:50:01.329 one of my favorite films, and I own two copies 00:50:01.329 --> 00:50:04.179 of it. I wish I had a high def copy of it, but 00:50:04.179 --> 00:50:07.199 I literally own two versions, two of the same 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:10.260 copies of it on DVD. Because at one point I thought 00:50:10.260 --> 00:50:12.840 I lost it, so I just bought it again. It's a 00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:15.780 little film called Airborne. You are not my cousin. 00:50:16.099 --> 00:50:19.380 Oh, come on, I give up. Popeye, now there was 00:50:19.380 --> 00:50:22.079 a great man. Do you know why? Never joined the 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:25.380 hair club for men? Wrong. Because his motto was, 00:50:25.579 --> 00:50:28.559 I am what I am. Do you think Popeye ever worried 00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:31.059 about what he wore to so he could get olive oil 00:50:31.059 --> 00:50:33.599 in the sack? I should say not, dude. And do you 00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:39.219 know why? He was gay. Because he is what he is. 00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:44.900 It's a film starring Shane McDermott, Chris Conrad, 00:50:45.179 --> 00:50:48.699 Jack Black. I believe this is one of Jack Black's 00:50:48.699 --> 00:50:52.920 earliest movies. It also stars Seth Green. I 00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.800 believe this is one of his earliest movies as 00:50:55.800 --> 00:50:59.760 well. And it's basically about this. California 00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:04.239 surfer dude whose parents... Oh, it has Edie 00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:07.940 McClurg in it. Edie McClurg, the secretary. She 00:51:07.940 --> 00:51:11.960 was in a lot of stuff. Yep. She was the secretary 00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:17.219 in Ferris Bueller. He's a righteous dude. She 00:51:17.219 --> 00:51:21.300 was the airline lady in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. 00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:25.690 Well then, I guess you're fucked. It was in Star 00:51:25.690 --> 00:51:29.010 Trek. She got turned into a styrofoam cube and 00:51:29.010 --> 00:51:35.489 crushed. He was a red shirt. Oh, boy. Oh, no. 00:51:35.630 --> 00:51:39.869 That's never good. Yeah, but this movie is basically 00:51:39.869 --> 00:51:43.670 California surfer boy, his parents. have this 00:51:43.670 --> 00:51:46.550 week that there's zoologists or something and 00:51:46.550 --> 00:51:48.929 they have to go to australia and he's like sweet 00:51:48.929 --> 00:51:50.690 we're going to australia and they're like yeah 00:51:50.690 --> 00:51:52.869 you can't miss three months of school you're 00:51:52.869 --> 00:51:54.690 going to cincinnati to live with your aunt and 00:51:54.690 --> 00:52:00.190 uncle cincinnati huh so he has to evolve but 00:52:00.190 --> 00:52:02.630 because he's a california surfer dude he also 00:52:02.630 --> 00:52:05.849 skateboards and rollerblades and whatever so 00:52:05.849 --> 00:52:09.630 he figures it out and does this whole rollerblading 00:52:09.630 --> 00:52:13.070 thing and they It was one of the only movies 00:52:13.070 --> 00:52:16.849 I think the, um, Oh, cause Chris Conrad's in 00:52:16.849 --> 00:52:19.690 it. Chris Conrad was part of the, was it team, 00:52:19.769 --> 00:52:23.230 not team extreme, but, um, it was a rollerblading 00:52:23.230 --> 00:52:26.429 team, really famous rollerblading team. I just 00:52:26.429 --> 00:52:28.449 absolutely love the movie cause it's a very like 00:52:28.449 --> 00:52:34.250 down home, very early nineties. Not, I wouldn't 00:52:34.250 --> 00:52:37.409 classify it as a romantic comedy, but it was 00:52:37.409 --> 00:52:41.579 kind of like a, I don't know how you'd classify 00:52:41.579 --> 00:52:43.739 it, and I'm not looking at the Wikipedia article, 00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:47.619 but yeah, Airborne. 1994, there are a lot in 00:52:47.619 --> 00:52:54.119 94. The 94 for me was also another bloodbath, 00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:57.800 but I don't know how often anyone talks about 00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:01.400 this movie. I've covered it a couple of times 00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:03.840 on various podcasts here at the Geekcast Radio 00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:06.400 Network. I think Steve and I just did an episode 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.739 on it recently, maybe last year for its 30th 00:53:09.739 --> 00:53:12.719 anniversary. I think we did. I don't remember. 00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:17.579 Now, again, 94 has a lot, but the one I chose 00:53:17.579 --> 00:53:22.119 because I remember when it came out, I was like, 00:53:22.179 --> 00:53:25.340 damn, if only that would work, but that would 00:53:25.340 --> 00:53:32.719 never work. Disney's Blank Check. Blank Check. 00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:37.320 I remember that movie. I got dragged to it. I 00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:40.920 was literally babysitting my cousins. And they 00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:44.820 talked me into going to the mall, which was a 00:53:44.820 --> 00:53:48.559 mistake. And then I ended up taking them to Blank 00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:54.340 Check. Oh, man. That's a freaking movie. So this 00:53:54.340 --> 00:53:59.219 stars Brian Bonzell, Karen Duffy, Miguel Ferrer, 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:02.119 who passed away recently, I think, didn't he? 00:54:03.500 --> 00:54:07.059 Not recently, but he has passed away. Because 00:54:07.059 --> 00:54:12.280 he didn't make the Twin Peaks reunion, which 00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:16.519 sucked. Yeah, it sucked. It has Michael Lerner 00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:21.119 in it. It has Tone Loke in it. I can't remember 00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:23.960 the guy's name, but the main antagonist was the 00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:26.659 guy who was in Private Parts, and he was in a 00:54:26.659 --> 00:54:28.840 lot of stuff. I can't remember his name. He's 00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:31.260 in a poster with the blue dye on his face. Huh? 00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.440 Are we talking about the same blank check? Like 00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:37.320 a jerk? No, no, no. You're thinking of something 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:39.639 from 2002. I will get to that. You're thinking 00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:43.260 of... I don't think I am. Blue dye on his face? 00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:45.340 You're thinking of Big Fat Liar. You're thinking 00:54:45.340 --> 00:54:50.460 of... No, blank check. No. Okay, maybe I'm mixing 00:54:50.460 --> 00:54:52.840 up those movies, but I thought... Yeah, you're 00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:55.460 thinking of Paul... The boy who inherits a blank 00:54:55.460 --> 00:54:57.239 check and uses it to buy a house under an alter 00:54:57.239 --> 00:55:00.539 ego. Yep. But is soon searched by several members 00:55:00.539 --> 00:55:03.329 of the bank. Wait. Maybe I'm thinking of Big 00:55:03.329 --> 00:55:05.909 Fat Liar. Yeah, you are thinking of Big Fat Liar. 00:55:06.510 --> 00:55:09.449 Because that's Paul Giamatti. That's Paul Giamatti 00:55:09.449 --> 00:55:12.050 is who I'm thinking of. Yeah, that's not this 00:55:12.050 --> 00:55:15.349 movie. Because Miguel Ferrer is the villain, 00:55:15.469 --> 00:55:19.849 Carl Quigley, a .k .a. Mr. McIntosh. Wait, does 00:55:19.849 --> 00:55:23.150 Big Fat Liar also involve a blank check? No. 00:55:24.190 --> 00:55:29.530 I will get to that. That's the 2002 era. Okay. 00:55:30.179 --> 00:55:33.340 Okay, well, I believe I established in the previous 00:55:33.340 --> 00:55:36.460 episode that I'm very old. It's okay. And easily 00:55:36.460 --> 00:55:39.260 confused by things. I know it's a blank check 00:55:39.260 --> 00:55:40.920 because I know it revolved around a blank check. 00:55:41.219 --> 00:55:44.599 Yes, yes. But just in my brain, I am absolutely 00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:47.460 Mandela affecting Paul Giamatti being in that 00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:51.579 movie. No, he's not. He's not. So Miguel Ferrer 00:55:51.579 --> 00:55:54.559 plays the bad guy, Mr. McIntosh. Is he like a 00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:57.719 criminal? Yes, he's a criminal. He breaks out 00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:02.840 of prison. And he wants the embezzled money that 00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:06.480 the bank manager has, has been keeping for him. 00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:12.139 But because Preston, AKA Mr. McIntosh kid, the 00:56:12.139 --> 00:56:16.659 kid, his grandmother sent him a check for like 00:56:16.659 --> 00:56:18.960 a hundred dollars or something for his birthday. 00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:24.360 And he goes onto his computer and he makes it, 00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:28.099 or no, he goes into the bank to, It doesn't get 00:56:28.099 --> 00:56:31.139 hit by... He hits him with a car and he just 00:56:31.139 --> 00:56:33.659 hands him a blank check. Yes, that's what it 00:56:33.659 --> 00:56:37.599 is. Yep, yep, yep. And then he goes home and 00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:41.099 he puts in $1 million, goes to the bank the next 00:56:41.099 --> 00:56:45.840 day, and that money then comes from the Quigley, 00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:49.739 aka the Miguel Ferrer character. He basically 00:56:49.739 --> 00:56:52.519 takes the embezzled money. That's where Preston 00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:54.460 gets the, that's where Brian, the Brian Bonzell, 00:56:54.460 --> 00:56:57.579 the kid character gets the money. So that sends 00:56:57.579 --> 00:57:01.880 Miguel Ferrer's evil character and Tone Loke, 00:57:01.880 --> 00:57:05.139 who is his henchman after the kid. And then they 00:57:05.139 --> 00:57:07.219 have to chase him everywhere. And he has to buy 00:57:07.219 --> 00:57:09.480 all this stuff. And he meets this guy, this chauffeur 00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:12.219 named Henry that he has, and they do all this 00:57:12.219 --> 00:57:14.199 stuff and they buy this house and they do all 00:57:14.199 --> 00:57:18.320 this stuff. That's not Big Fat Liar. We'll get 00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:23.320 to the Big Fat Liar. 1995, 30 years ago this 00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:26.900 year. There are a lot in this, but there is only 00:57:26.900 --> 00:57:30.599 one. Honorable mention would go to Money Train, 00:57:30.780 --> 00:57:33.059 because I love Wesley and Woody in that movie, 00:57:33.099 --> 00:57:35.860 and that movie is awesome. That movie also stars, 00:57:35.940 --> 00:57:42.679 I think, one of, if not Jennifer Lopez's debuts 00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:45.710 in film? It's either her debut or it's one of 00:57:45.710 --> 00:57:48.690 her earliest movies, because I know she was on 00:57:48.690 --> 00:57:53.449 In Living Color right before that. However, even 00:57:53.449 --> 00:57:56.369 though there is a lot of films in 1995 like Die 00:57:56.369 --> 00:57:58.889 Hard with a Vengeance and a bunch of other things, 00:57:59.050 --> 00:58:03.710 1995 for me goes to my Bond era, which is the 00:58:03.710 --> 00:58:06.949 Brosnan era, because Brosnan brought it back 00:58:06.949 --> 00:58:16.420 with Goldeneye. Beg your pardon? Forgot to knock. 00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:20.880 Before this, I had watched several of the Roger 00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.360 Moore era movies. Man with the Golden Gun is 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:28.820 my top Roger Moore movie. After that, I had seen 00:58:28.820 --> 00:58:31.340 License to Kill, but I had not seen The Living 00:58:31.340 --> 00:58:36.579 Daylights as a kid. Timothy Dalton's okay as 00:58:36.579 --> 00:58:41.469 Bond, but... Yeah. Pierce Brosnan, man, Goldeneye, 00:58:41.489 --> 00:58:45.510 I saw this movie so many times that year, and 00:58:45.510 --> 00:58:49.190 I just love watching this movie, and this movie 00:58:49.190 --> 00:58:53.550 will be covered later this year on this podcast 00:58:53.550 --> 00:58:56.050 for its 30th anniversary. So yeah, Goldeneye 00:58:56.050 --> 00:59:02.900 for 95. 96 had a lot. This is where I started 00:59:02.900 --> 00:59:06.679 getting into tough choices. You had Mission Impossible, 00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:09.300 you had Phenomenon, you had Space Jam, you had 00:59:09.300 --> 00:59:15.260 F .L .E .D., and you had my first ever theatrical 00:59:15.260 --> 00:59:22.360 adventure into the five -year mission. First 00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:24.820 time I ever saw a Star Trek movie in theaters. 00:59:25.559 --> 00:59:32.329 First contact. Unfortunately... The choice has 00:59:32.329 --> 00:59:35.369 to go to Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible because 00:59:35.369 --> 00:59:41.570 that was just too damn good. I can recite lines 00:59:41.570 --> 00:59:47.730 from that, like Emilio Estevez as Jack. You know, 00:59:47.789 --> 00:59:52.530 when he's explaining the gum, red light, green 00:59:52.530 --> 00:59:56.409 light. Hasta lasagna, don't get any on ya. Like, 00:59:56.409 --> 01:00:01.679 you know, just... Oh, God. Just absolutely love 01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:07.159 the first Mission Impossible movie from 1996. 01:00:08.780 --> 01:00:14.420 It was so cool. It was so fun. I remember being 01:00:14.420 --> 01:00:20.480 in the theater seeing it. It was just... Man. 01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:27.460 That franchise. I can't believe, and I had only 01:00:27.460 --> 01:00:30.239 ever seen as a kid, I'd only ever seen like a 01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:35.119 handful of episodes of the TV show. So I knew 01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:38.559 what the TV show was, but I hadn't seen like 01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:43.880 every episode or anything like that. So I was 01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:47.760 16 at the time when that movie came out. 1997, 01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:52.139 we have two choices here. We have The Fifth Element. 01:00:52.969 --> 01:00:58.150 With Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman, because Gary 01:00:58.150 --> 01:01:00.590 Oldman played the villain in that. Yeah, Zorg. 01:01:01.630 --> 01:01:05.869 Zorg, I think it is. I love The Fifth Element. 01:01:06.030 --> 01:01:08.429 I wanted to go see it in theaters again when 01:01:08.429 --> 01:01:11.409 it came out for something for a re -release that 01:01:11.409 --> 01:01:13.550 Fathom Events was doing a couple years ago. I 01:01:13.550 --> 01:01:18.949 didn't get to go, but it is what it is. But I 01:01:18.949 --> 01:01:23.679 love The Fifth Element. However... 1997 also 01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:28.639 has the homegrown movie for me, which is Good 01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:32.019 Will Hunting. It's a movie about a boy genius 01:01:32.019 --> 01:01:38.059 in Southie in Massachusetts. Now, I lived south 01:01:38.059 --> 01:01:41.260 of Boston, Kingston, Plymouth, Plimpton area. 01:01:41.500 --> 01:01:43.480 A lot of people aren't going to, unless you look 01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:45.659 at a map, you're not going to know. But basically, 01:01:45.699 --> 01:01:48.199 that's an hour and a half, hour, hour and a half 01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:51.800 south of Boston. That whole area is basically 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:56.559 in between Boston and Cape Cod in Massachusetts. 01:01:56.900 --> 01:02:00.300 And when that movie came out with Ben Affleck 01:02:00.300 --> 01:02:04.780 and Matt Damon and Mimi Driver and Robin Williams, 01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:09.980 I was not going to forget. I was trying to pause 01:02:09.980 --> 01:02:14.079 and let my breath catch before I said his name 01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:17.619 again. Son of a bitch, he stole my line. Just, 01:02:17.679 --> 01:02:21.960 oh, God. It's so, so good. I absolutely love 01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:25.039 that. I think that is the first movie I had ever 01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:29.739 seen Stellan Skarsgård in as Professor Lambeau, 01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:35.460 who is Sean's sort of rival professor, friend, 01:02:35.659 --> 01:02:38.719 whatever you want to call him. Because then Stellan 01:02:38.719 --> 01:02:41.099 would go on to play certain Marvel characters 01:02:41.099 --> 01:02:45.079 and other things and whatever. So, yeah. But 01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:47.079 Good Will Hunting, that's another one I will 01:02:47.079 --> 01:02:49.960 watch over and over again when I have the time 01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:51.900 to do so when I'm not preparing for podcasts 01:02:51.900 --> 01:02:56.780 and other things. 1998. There are plenty of choices 01:02:56.780 --> 01:03:00.000 here, but I only wrote one down because it was 01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:03.599 the first thing that popped into my head. What 01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:06.840 if Batman was a snowman? That's why the last 01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:08.739 person you see before you go to sleep every night 01:03:08.739 --> 01:03:11.760 is Wayne Gretzky on your wall, right? Tell you 01:03:11.760 --> 01:03:14.730 what. We're here. Let's work on the J -shot. 01:03:15.510 --> 01:03:19.869 No, I don't think so. Oh, I see. It's like that. 01:03:20.409 --> 01:03:25.030 Okay. Okay, looks like I'm working out by myself. 01:03:25.769 --> 01:03:29.110 Even though I haven't played hockey in a year. 01:03:30.190 --> 01:03:32.329 If I can find a rock, I can use it as a puck. 01:03:32.650 --> 01:03:37.070 See how I'm playing all alone. All right, all 01:03:37.070 --> 01:03:43.059 right. I'll skate. Just stop bellyaching. We're 01:03:43.059 --> 01:03:44.239 going to get our nice bounce. We're going to 01:03:44.239 --> 01:03:46.960 get set up. Man, this was a lot easier when I 01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:50.260 had legs. Okay. We're going to stay nice and 01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:52.679 relaxed. Real loose. Then we come through. We 01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:54.500 snap our wrists. Now, just before we do that, 01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:59.739 I make this little move here. Oh, yeah. Well, 01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:02.219 that goalie could sue me for whiplash. Jack Frost. 01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:05.260 Michael Keaton. Kelly Preston. May she rest in 01:04:05.260 --> 01:04:07.079 peace because she's been gone for a while now. 01:04:07.300 --> 01:04:12.179 Yeah. It's when Michael Keaton. got turned into 01:04:12.179 --> 01:04:15.579 a snowman for a movie because in the movie, the 01:04:15.579 --> 01:04:19.300 kid's dad dies and he turns into a snowman and 01:04:19.300 --> 01:04:23.820 comes back and helps the kid. I just love, I 01:04:23.820 --> 01:04:27.639 love what I love about Jack Frost is that. The 01:04:27.639 --> 01:04:30.139 kid gets to have a relationship with his dad 01:04:30.139 --> 01:04:32.559 that he didn't have before because his dad is 01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:34.739 a musician in the movie and his dad is always 01:04:34.739 --> 01:04:36.800 on the road and always doing gigs and always 01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:38.280 doing this, that, and the other thing and everything 01:04:38.280 --> 01:04:41.360 else. And I get that because his dad is trying 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:44.900 to provide for the family in that way of being 01:04:44.900 --> 01:04:47.659 a musician. And on top of that, you get to hear 01:04:47.659 --> 01:04:51.360 Michael Keaton's amazing pipes singing Christmas 01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:54.099 music. You ain't heard nothing until you hear 01:04:54.099 --> 01:04:57.500 Batman singing Frosty the Snowman. Absolutely 01:04:57.500 --> 01:05:01.780 love it. 1999, there was two choices here. The 01:05:01.780 --> 01:05:04.340 Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan and Rene 01:05:04.340 --> 01:05:06.719 Russo. I forget who else is in that off the top 01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:08.119 of my head because, again, I'm not looking at 01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:11.139 Wikipedia. And then the actual choice, which 01:05:11.139 --> 01:05:14.280 is, it's going to start a trend because this 01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:19.820 was his U .S. film debut. But in 1999, 10 Things 01:05:19.820 --> 01:05:24.960 I Hate About You was the film debut of Heath 01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.500 Ledger. In the United States of America. Before 01:05:28.500 --> 01:05:31.139 that, he did stuff in Australia where he's originally 01:05:31.139 --> 01:05:35.559 from, things like that. And I have since seen, 01:05:35.659 --> 01:05:38.219 because it just hit its 25th anniversary recently 01:05:38.219 --> 01:05:41.440 last year, I think it was. Yeah, last year. I've 01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:44.099 seen the director on Instagram. I've seen clips 01:05:44.099 --> 01:05:47.800 of the director talking about Heath and the audition 01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:50.980 process and things like that. And basically. 01:05:52.699 --> 01:05:55.599 The director said, you know, we don't know this 01:05:55.599 --> 01:05:59.760 guy. It's a favor for this agent or that agent 01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:02.840 or whatever. Heath comes in, he reads the lines, 01:06:02.940 --> 01:06:05.219 he does good. And then the director's like, hey, 01:06:05.260 --> 01:06:07.340 I kind of want to see if you can do some improv, 01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:12.320 yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. And he goes, okay, 01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.139 thank you so much. And we'll be in touch with 01:06:15.139 --> 01:06:17.119 you. We'll let you know if you got the part, 01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:19.900 et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Heath leaves. 01:06:20.820 --> 01:06:27.239 The director tells the story, he says, there 01:06:27.239 --> 01:06:29.780 are five casting ladies in this room with him. 01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:33.699 He goes, ladies, I don't care what you have to 01:06:33.699 --> 01:06:37.500 do, but that's the guy for Patrick Verona in 01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:41.579 10 Things I Hate About You. Hire him now. We 01:06:41.579 --> 01:06:43.960 don't need to see anybody else. So I love hearing 01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:45.940 those stories from the director. And that movie 01:06:45.940 --> 01:06:50.199 is just, it's... Are you a Shakespeare fan at 01:06:50.199 --> 01:06:54.960 all? I mean, I've taken classes on Shakespeare. 01:06:55.079 --> 01:06:57.739 I've read Shakespeare. Okay, but are you... In 01:06:57.739 --> 01:06:59.260 terms of movies, it depends on the movie. I'm 01:06:59.260 --> 01:07:02.320 familiar with the... I remember that that was 01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:05.860 based on something. It's based on Taming of the 01:07:05.860 --> 01:07:08.239 Shrew. Taming of the Shrew, okay. I'm not particularly 01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:13.199 familiar with. Okay, so basically, you have... 01:07:13.199 --> 01:07:17.420 I mean, I know the story that the guy wants to 01:07:17.420 --> 01:07:20.380 marry the... sister, but she's got this older 01:07:20.380 --> 01:07:24.480 sister who's a nightmare. And so they hook her 01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:29.039 up with this other guy who... And then it's like, 01:07:29.099 --> 01:07:32.599 kiss me, Kate. Yeah, pretty much, yeah. They 01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:34.039 didn't have any sort of moonlighting on that. 01:07:34.500 --> 01:07:36.400 Yeah, so basically they did kind of the same 01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:40.320 thing here, where Joseph Gordon -Levitt plays 01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:47.139 Cameron in this. Yes. plays Cameron in this, 01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:51.219 and Larissa Olenek plays Bianca, who is the younger 01:07:51.219 --> 01:07:55.079 sister, and he's pining over her, but the only 01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:59.119 way he can get a date with her is because they're 01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:01.699 the Stratford sisters, so it's Bianca and Kat 01:08:01.699 --> 01:08:04.880 Stratford, and their dad, who is played by Larry 01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:09.280 Miller. I love the dad. Larry Miller's a good 01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:13.989 actor. Funny guy. I love him. Love Larry. He's 01:08:13.989 --> 01:08:16.430 so funny in this movie, absolutely. But yeah, 01:08:16.489 --> 01:08:19.069 10 Things I Hate About You, 1999. That's my choice 01:08:19.069 --> 01:08:21.029 for 1999. Don't say shit like that to me. People 01:08:21.029 --> 01:08:26.590 can hear you. You suck. You suck. 2000. 2000 01:08:26.590 --> 01:08:33.649 is... There's a lot in 2000, but it only came 01:08:33.649 --> 01:08:37.010 down to two, and I know, I know, I know, I know 01:08:37.010 --> 01:08:39.229 which one I'm going with, and I know I repeated 01:08:39.229 --> 01:08:44.859 that multiple times just now, but... It does 01:08:44.859 --> 01:08:47.479 and it doesn't hurt to pick between the two. 01:08:48.539 --> 01:08:51.560 The honorable mention goes to Gone in 60 Seconds. 01:08:54.079 --> 01:08:59.840 I love that movie. I had never, I have seen it 01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:05.720 now, but at that time in 2000, I didn't even 01:09:05.720 --> 01:09:08.380 know Gone in 60 Seconds was a remake at the time. 01:09:09.390 --> 01:09:12.550 So I had never seen the 1974, I think it's 74, 01:09:12.890 --> 01:09:18.550 version. And up until 2016, when I went out to 01:09:18.550 --> 01:09:24.010 California for the Great California Misadventure 01:09:24.010 --> 01:09:28.949 that I had had at the time, I was perfectly fine 01:09:28.949 --> 01:09:31.970 watching the Nicolas Cage version, because that's 01:09:31.970 --> 01:09:37.510 the version I love. And it's just such a sleek... 01:09:39.089 --> 01:09:41.869 and it's got Delroy Lindo in it, and that's when 01:09:41.869 --> 01:09:45.010 I fell in love with that guy as an actor. It's 01:09:45.010 --> 01:09:49.710 got Angelina Jolie, and it was my first introduction 01:09:49.710 --> 01:09:53.789 to Trevor Rabin as a composer of music. I absolutely 01:09:53.789 --> 01:09:57.189 love his music score in the movie. All this, 01:09:57.229 --> 01:10:00.750 all that. So the California Misadventure, when 01:10:00.750 --> 01:10:03.829 I go out to see somebody else, I also stay with 01:10:03.829 --> 01:10:06.789 my buddy Doug and his wife. He shows me the 74 01:10:06.789 --> 01:10:09.430 version, and I'm like, Thank God they remade 01:10:09.430 --> 01:10:12.909 it and did it better. Cause you 74 version was 01:10:12.909 --> 01:10:17.550 just kind of there for me, but my choice and 01:10:17.550 --> 01:10:21.510 the only choice that could be made for me is 01:10:21.510 --> 01:10:31.470 a Don Bluth film. It is. What if the world blew 01:10:31.470 --> 01:10:40.729 up? What if, what if, You had to think about 01:10:40.729 --> 01:10:47.390 life after Earth. Titan A .E. Yeah, well, having 01:10:47.390 --> 01:10:49.449 your planet blown up can have that effect on 01:10:49.449 --> 01:10:51.850 a species. But maybe I've been wrong all these 01:10:51.850 --> 01:10:54.069 years and it took your inspiring speech to make 01:10:54.069 --> 01:10:59.010 me see it. You've really changed me. It's beautiful. 01:10:59.270 --> 01:11:03.729 I think we got a hug. Oh, man. They've really 01:11:03.729 --> 01:11:06.550 ground you down. Hey, get this straight. I don't 01:11:06.550 --> 01:11:08.710 even know you. I don't want any part of your 01:11:08.710 --> 01:11:10.729 mission and I don't need your help with these 01:11:10.729 --> 01:11:20.130 oversized morons. Okay. Oh my God. I was in a 01:11:20.130 --> 01:11:25.029 video store and I saw like, I didn't even, I 01:11:25.029 --> 01:11:26.609 don't even remember seeing this in theaters. 01:11:26.770 --> 01:11:29.630 I probably did, but I don't, I, what I remember 01:11:29.630 --> 01:11:34.300 is all I remember about this movie. is seeing 01:11:34.300 --> 01:11:37.779 whatever video package videos, whatever package 01:11:37.779 --> 01:11:40.279 of the video store got to advertise it on their, 01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:44.220 their screens. I remember hearing Matt Damon 01:11:44.220 --> 01:11:47.979 and Drew Barrymore as the characters. And I remember 01:11:47.979 --> 01:11:52.420 hearing creeds higher as the promotional song. 01:11:52.760 --> 01:11:59.119 And I'm just like, okay, you got me. And we've 01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:02.800 done the lane is in that too. Yeah. Yeah, he's 01:12:02.800 --> 01:12:05.239 in it. He has the line, an intelligent guard. 01:12:05.380 --> 01:12:07.159 Who would have known? Who would have known? Yep. 01:12:07.699 --> 01:12:13.260 He plays Pryd. John Leguizamo plays Goon. Janine 01:12:13.260 --> 01:12:17.720 Grilofalo, or whatever her name is, she plays 01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:22.479 Stan. Yeah, you're pretty close. Yeah. But yeah, 01:12:22.500 --> 01:12:29.319 no, Bill Pullman plays Joseph Corso. I love this 01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:34.109 movie because it's... What if it is, what would 01:12:34.109 --> 01:12:37.590 happen? What would, it's a future, like it's 01:12:37.590 --> 01:12:41.529 a future we will never see. Meaning that this 01:12:41.529 --> 01:12:46.569 is the 30th or 31st century or whatever you are. 01:12:46.590 --> 01:12:50.729 Like it's 3028. It's all of this stuff. Like 01:12:50.729 --> 01:12:53.510 it's, it's all like, it's the year 3000 types. 01:12:53.590 --> 01:12:55.750 Like we're never going to see it. We, you and 01:12:55.750 --> 01:12:59.029 I are never going to see that. Like, okay, fine. 01:12:59.149 --> 01:13:06.569 Great. Cool. But, like, it's that, and it's also 01:13:06.569 --> 01:13:11.369 reminding us of what we had at the forefront 01:13:11.369 --> 01:13:15.689 of where we are now at the same time. And the 01:13:15.689 --> 01:13:20.710 music, oh, the music. I am so tied to music when 01:13:20.710 --> 01:13:24.090 it comes to certain movies and things, as people 01:13:24.090 --> 01:13:29.319 can clearly tell. Yeah, Titan AE for 2000. That's 01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:33.340 the choice. 2001, it's easy. And it goes back 01:13:33.340 --> 01:13:37.699 to Heath. A Knight's Tale. Hands down. There 01:13:37.699 --> 01:13:39.979 was no other choice. I didn't even have to look. 01:13:40.199 --> 01:13:43.579 I was like, 2001, A Knight's Tale. And it's basically 01:13:43.579 --> 01:13:49.920 knights jousting horseback, etc. I believe he's 01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:52.520 lowborn, but he wants to become a knight. And 01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:56.890 the gimmick is that they do modern songs. Yes. 01:13:57.210 --> 01:13:59.189 It's like a musical that breaks into modern songs. 01:13:59.390 --> 01:14:01.350 Like at the Jazz Concert they do We Will Rock 01:14:01.350 --> 01:14:05.890 You. And Paul Bettany is Chaucer. Jeffrey Chaucer. 01:14:05.909 --> 01:14:10.489 Yes, he is. One of his early roles. If not his 01:14:10.489 --> 01:14:17.189 first. Yeah, absolutely. I missed my introduction! 01:14:31.180 --> 01:14:36.659 Please, I pray you, hear it now. For I would 01:14:36.659 --> 01:14:41.840 lay rest the grace in my tongue and speak plain. 01:14:43.380 --> 01:14:47.960 Days like these are far too rare to cheapen with 01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:53.460 heavy -handed words. And so, I'm afraid, without 01:14:53.460 --> 01:14:57.619 any ado whatsoever, excuse me, my lord, here 01:14:57.619 --> 01:15:02.600 he is! One of your own! Born a stone's throw 01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:06.420 from this very stadium and here before you now, 01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:16.680 the son of John Thatcher. So it's funny because 01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:21.199 when it was either Infinity War or Endgame, I 01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:24.359 forget which one, when one of those films came 01:15:24.359 --> 01:15:27.920 out, it was either, yeah, I think they had Vision 01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:31.770 on top and then Chaucer on the bottom. This is 01:15:31.770 --> 01:15:36.329 how you know Paul Bettany. This is how I know 01:15:36.329 --> 01:15:39.149 Paul Bettany kind of thing. Yeah, I've seen that. 01:15:39.569 --> 01:15:42.609 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that meme. Oh, God, 01:15:42.729 --> 01:15:47.250 I love. I love A Knight's Tale. And I love it 01:15:47.250 --> 01:15:51.789 for that exact reason, that it feels like the 01:15:51.789 --> 01:15:55.489 olden days, but it also feels like modern times 01:15:55.489 --> 01:15:59.810 because of the modern. music that was used kind 01:15:59.810 --> 01:16:02.810 of thing they've got david bowie songs in there 01:16:02.810 --> 01:16:09.409 and and oh man so good so so i just oh man i 01:16:09.409 --> 01:16:11.869 absolutely love that movie it just hit i think 01:16:11.869 --> 01:16:15.109 it just hit or it's about to hit 4k release i 01:16:15.109 --> 01:16:19.210 have to have it i cannot wait to see it in 4k 01:16:19.210 --> 01:16:24.270 oh man i was at the theater when like i was at 01:16:24.270 --> 01:16:27.510 the theater opening night opening day to see 01:16:27.510 --> 01:16:32.329 that movie. And again, for me, once I see a trailer, 01:16:32.449 --> 01:16:36.010 if I like it after seeing the trailer, I will 01:16:36.010 --> 01:16:39.250 do my best to see it in the theater. At least 01:16:39.250 --> 01:16:41.890 back then, I would do my best to see it in the 01:16:41.890 --> 01:16:43.710 theater. Now I'm just like, okay, I can wait 01:16:43.710 --> 01:16:45.710 because I don't like going to theaters anymore. 01:16:46.210 --> 01:16:50.369 2002 has several choices, but there is only one 01:16:50.369 --> 01:16:52.829 choice for 2002 because it was the movie I saw 01:16:52.829 --> 01:16:57.960 five times in one day. Literally, five times 01:16:57.960 --> 01:17:01.720 in one day. But 2002 has A Walk to Remember, 01:17:02.199 --> 01:17:06.119 Life or Something Like It, and Big Fat Liar. 01:17:06.720 --> 01:17:09.319 There is the actual choice that I will mention 01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:12.760 later, but those are the other ones I wanted 01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:15.520 to list really quickly. A Walk to Remember is 01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:21.590 the Mandy Moore, Shane West, I think? is who's 01:17:21.590 --> 01:17:24.409 in that with her so there's that that was based 01:17:24.409 --> 01:17:27.329 off of nicholas spark's book life or something 01:17:27.329 --> 01:17:30.369 like it is it's got monk in it it's got tony 01:17:30.369 --> 01:17:33.729 shalhoub it's got angelina jolie it's got a bunch 01:17:33.729 --> 01:17:36.850 it's it was all right it was a nice little romantic 01:17:36.850 --> 01:17:39.310 comedy but as we mentioned earlier big fat liar 01:17:39.310 --> 01:17:42.869 paul giamatti i remember the line from uh from 01:17:42.869 --> 01:17:46.159 the from the tow truck guy They told me to pick 01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:48.060 up a little blue car. They didn't say anything 01:17:48.060 --> 01:17:51.380 about a little blue man. Because the reason why 01:17:51.380 --> 01:17:54.500 Paul Giamatti is blue is because Frankie Muniz, 01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:59.020 Malcolm in the Middle, and Amanda Bynes put blue 01:17:59.020 --> 01:18:05.619 dye in his pool as a prank. Because Paul Giamatti 01:18:05.619 --> 01:18:09.199 plays Marty Wolf from Marty Wolf Pictures. And 01:18:09.199 --> 01:18:14.060 Big Fat Liar is Frankie Muniz's character. jason 01:18:14.060 --> 01:18:16.779 something i forget what his last name is for 01:18:16.779 --> 01:18:19.800 the character name but it's him and he's always 01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:22.119 lying and he's always telling stories and he's 01:18:22.119 --> 01:18:24.060 always doing this and doing that to get out of 01:18:24.060 --> 01:18:28.920 whatever and he writes this story and marty finds 01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:31.439 it and because he hits him with his car like 01:18:31.439 --> 01:18:34.680 you said And he takes the story and he turns 01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:36.819 it into this multi -million dollar movie deal. 01:18:37.100 --> 01:18:41.020 And you have all these stars in there. You got 01:18:41.020 --> 01:18:44.000 Jaleel White doing a cameo. You got Lee Majors 01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:47.979 doing a cameo. You got all this stuff. And it's 01:18:47.979 --> 01:18:50.439 just a nice little funny comedy. It was the first 01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:54.039 time I had ever seen a Sean Levy movie. So that 01:18:54.039 --> 01:18:56.760 was directed by Sean Levy. I think it was also 01:18:56.760 --> 01:18:59.989 written by him, but I could be wrong. and sean 01:18:59.989 --> 01:19:03.670 levy will came up obvious last episode on on 01:19:03.670 --> 01:19:07.010 your list because he's not coming up on mine 01:19:07.010 --> 01:19:09.529 we can mention him again but uh he's not coming 01:19:09.529 --> 01:19:13.329 up on my list past this this film here but the 01:19:13.329 --> 01:19:16.909 choice the movie i saw five times in 2002 first 01:19:16.909 --> 01:19:20.270 time and i remember this so clearly i actually 01:19:20.270 --> 01:19:24.010 wrote up a blog post about this last year a couple 01:19:24.010 --> 01:19:29.100 years ago i forget when I remember in 2001 when 01:19:29.100 --> 01:19:35.020 they did the promotional. Next summer, you're 01:19:35.020 --> 01:19:38.979 going to go for the ultimate spin. At the time, 01:19:38.979 --> 01:19:42.979 my girlfriend and I got into a huge fight about 01:19:42.979 --> 01:19:44.739 something. I don't know what the hell it was. 01:19:46.140 --> 01:19:51.300 Don't freaking remember. And it wasn't about 01:19:51.300 --> 01:19:53.989 whether we were going to go see it or not. or 01:19:53.989 --> 01:19:57.090 whatever. It had nothing to do with that. It 01:19:57.090 --> 01:20:00.890 was about something completely different. But 01:20:00.890 --> 01:20:05.489 it was May 3rd, 2000. It was May 2nd, May 1st, 01:20:05.489 --> 01:20:07.270 May 2nd, whatever, when we had the argument. 01:20:07.510 --> 01:20:10.489 And I was like, okay, fine, whatever. And May 01:20:10.489 --> 01:20:12.970 3rd, I was like, I'm going to see this movie. 01:20:13.029 --> 01:20:16.210 If you want to come see it with me, great. Not 01:20:16.210 --> 01:20:21.300 whatever. I think I went to a morning show. And 01:20:21.300 --> 01:20:23.260 then I went to four other shows after, and all 01:20:23.260 --> 01:20:26.899 I did, luckily back then, you could still do 01:20:26.899 --> 01:20:30.000 this and kind of sort of get away with it. Paid 01:20:30.000 --> 01:20:32.159 for one show, hopped to the other four shows. 01:20:33.039 --> 01:20:37.279 Spider -Man, don't you know? Because, damn. Go, 01:20:37.279 --> 01:20:46.189 Webb, go! Coming from someone who was 14 years 01:20:46.189 --> 01:20:49.449 old in 1994 and growing up with Spider -Man the 01:20:49.449 --> 01:20:52.750 Animated Series and fast -forwarding to 2002 01:20:52.750 --> 01:20:55.590 and seeing, okay, yeah, say what you want about 01:20:55.590 --> 01:20:58.869 the Green Goblin costume. Fine, whatever. Say 01:20:58.869 --> 01:21:01.270 what you want about the mask. It's fine. It's 01:21:01.270 --> 01:21:03.510 not that big a friggin' deal. It works. It's 01:21:03.510 --> 01:21:08.149 whatever. Other than that, the web swinging was 01:21:08.149 --> 01:21:12.890 great. His costume looked great. For 2002, it 01:21:12.890 --> 01:21:16.420 was amazing. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. No, no, no. 01:21:16.479 --> 01:21:19.020 I'm, I'm on your side. I'm like, yeah, yeah, 01:21:19.060 --> 01:21:21.960 it may, it may, it's aged a little bit, but I 01:21:21.960 --> 01:21:24.680 mean, you know, we're so spoiled at this point. 01:21:24.979 --> 01:21:27.619 Yeah. Like, yeah, it was, it was, it was pretty 01:21:27.619 --> 01:21:30.260 mind blowing at the time. It was, it was so mind 01:21:30.260 --> 01:21:33.779 blowing at the time. I sat there, jaw dropped 01:21:33.779 --> 01:21:40.159 every time, every jump I did after every, every, 01:21:40.300 --> 01:21:42.319 every time it stopped and I went to the next 01:21:42.319 --> 01:21:45.250 theater. that i could find to to get it to whatever 01:21:45.250 --> 01:21:49.449 in the the next showroom whatever but yeah spider 01:21:49.449 --> 01:21:54.470 -man with toby mcguire man what oh and and kirsten 01:21:54.470 --> 01:21:59.829 dunst is mary jane oh man and oh we can't i can't 01:21:59.829 --> 01:22:02.810 not move on i if i move on without even mentioning 01:22:02.810 --> 01:22:09.430 this okay you got go back to 94 you got ed asner 01:22:09.949 --> 01:22:13.069 as the voice of J. Jonah Jameson in Spider -Man 01:22:13.069 --> 01:22:15.350 the Animated Series. I'm going to investigate 01:22:15.350 --> 01:22:19.510 this myself, just like that good old days. Jigsaw 01:22:19.510 --> 01:22:22.609 Jameson is back. He's going to get to the bottom 01:22:22.609 --> 01:22:26.989 of this puzzle. Jigsaw Jameson? J .J., something 01:22:26.989 --> 01:22:29.729 tells me I better keep an eye on you. Perfect 01:22:29.729 --> 01:22:33.609 casting, voice casting for that. Absolutely works. 01:22:33.949 --> 01:22:36.310 Fast forward to 2002. Who are they going to get 01:22:36.310 --> 01:22:39.159 in live action? They're going to get... Oh my 01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:43.279 God. The doctor from Law and Order, J .K. Simmons. 01:22:43.619 --> 01:22:46.359 That's the only thing I knew him from before 01:22:46.359 --> 01:22:50.600 this. I knew him from Oz. Huh? I knew him as 01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:54.699 Schillinger from Oz. Okay. The Nazi. Ah, okay. 01:22:55.119 --> 01:22:58.560 But yes, like that was, that wasn't casting. 01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:02.619 That was, no, no, that was summoning. Yeah, I 01:23:02.619 --> 01:23:06.420 know, I know. He is J, I mean. For God's sake, 01:23:06.439 --> 01:23:09.460 they brought him into the MCU. That's how iconic. 01:23:10.140 --> 01:23:13.680 I know. He doesn't want to be famous, and I'll 01:23:13.680 --> 01:23:17.199 make him infamous. And I am sorry, he doesn't 01:23:17.199 --> 01:23:22.979 work as Commissioner Gordon. He doesn't. He didn't 01:23:22.979 --> 01:23:28.159 get a fair shot at it. Okay, well, that's fine. 01:23:29.619 --> 01:23:32.439 You know, there wasn't much to the role in Justice 01:23:32.439 --> 01:23:34.819 League. I would have preferred to see a full 01:23:34.819 --> 01:23:38.239 -on Batman film with him as Gordon. Okay, I'll 01:23:38.239 --> 01:23:41.720 give you that. All right, 2003. God damn it. 01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:44.720 All right, so all of the honorable mentions are 01:23:44.720 --> 01:23:47.340 movies. One of them is a date movie that I saw 01:23:47.340 --> 01:23:50.439 with a girl I really, really liked at the time. 01:23:50.500 --> 01:23:53.020 The other two are just movies I absolutely love. 01:23:53.779 --> 01:23:57.439 The date movie was The Italian Job with Wahlberg 01:23:57.439 --> 01:24:01.760 and Theron and the late, great Donald Sutherland 01:24:01.760 --> 01:24:06.090 was in it. I love The Italian Job. I know it 01:24:06.090 --> 01:24:14.930 is a remake or I forget. Anyway, but I loved 01:24:14.930 --> 01:24:16.529 it. I thought it was great. I love that movie. 01:24:16.609 --> 01:24:18.529 I watch that movie every now and then. You got 01:24:18.529 --> 01:24:20.949 SWAT with Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell 01:24:20.949 --> 01:24:25.430 that came out that year. And then you have Uma 01:24:25.430 --> 01:24:30.310 Thurman, the future Harvey Dent in What's His 01:24:30.310 --> 01:24:36.409 Nuts? What's his nuts? Eckhart. Eric Eckhart. 01:24:37.090 --> 01:24:42.189 Think of the future. And Ben Affleck. And you 01:24:42.189 --> 01:24:44.689 also have Paul Giamatti in this movie. Paycheck. 01:24:45.729 --> 01:24:48.829 I love Paycheck. So those are the three honorable 01:24:48.829 --> 01:24:51.489 mentions for 2003, The Choice. And it's only 01:24:51.489 --> 01:24:54.189 because I felt so damn guilty. I was like, no, 01:24:54.350 --> 01:24:57.590 it's the night before your wedding. I can't do 01:24:57.590 --> 01:24:59.670 this. And blah, blah, blah. My cousin Rachel, 01:24:59.829 --> 01:25:03.569 who is... who is pretty much my number one cousin 01:25:03.569 --> 01:25:06.310 for pretty much all of our young lives and everything 01:25:06.310 --> 01:25:09.250 else, she looks at me and says, we're either 01:25:09.250 --> 01:25:11.989 going or I'm going to kick your ass. I'm like, 01:25:12.029 --> 01:25:14.050 okay, fine. So we go out to dinner the night 01:25:14.050 --> 01:25:16.989 before she and her husband Joe get married, and 01:25:16.989 --> 01:25:20.909 we go to the Kingston Independence Mall in Kingston, 01:25:21.029 --> 01:25:26.479 Massachusetts, and we go see Daredevil. This 01:25:26.479 --> 01:25:28.500 is before the director's cut. This is before 01:25:28.500 --> 01:25:30.380 they did any whatever. This is the theatrical 01:25:30.380 --> 01:25:40.699 cut. And this is two years after Nickelback released 01:25:40.699 --> 01:25:45.460 Silverside up in 2001. So it's been two years 01:25:45.460 --> 01:25:48.420 since I've had Nickelback music. And I, at that 01:25:48.420 --> 01:25:51.119 time, and I still to this day, am a huge Nickelback 01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:55.380 fan. Always have been, always will be. Don't 01:25:55.380 --> 01:25:58.800 care what anyone says. Whatever. I'm a fan. End 01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:02.539 of story. So we're watching the movie, watching 01:26:02.539 --> 01:26:06.020 the movie. It starts. It starts. And we get to 01:26:06.020 --> 01:26:09.039 the bar scene after the courtroom scene. And 01:26:09.039 --> 01:26:12.060 I hear the music. And I'm like, wait a minute. 01:26:13.239 --> 01:26:18.539 Wait a minute. And I just kept playing it through 01:26:18.539 --> 01:26:20.840 my head the whole rest of the movie. And I'm 01:26:20.840 --> 01:26:24.270 like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Okay. Eventually, 01:26:24.289 --> 01:26:26.149 I started paying attention to the movie again, 01:26:26.289 --> 01:26:28.210 which I was paying attention the whole time anyway. 01:26:28.430 --> 01:26:31.489 But anyway, so we went and saw that. But immediately 01:26:31.489 --> 01:26:34.090 before we left the mall, I said, you guys, I've 01:26:34.090 --> 01:26:38.130 got to go over to Record Town and see if I can 01:26:38.130 --> 01:26:40.989 check out the soundtrack to this movie because 01:26:40.989 --> 01:26:44.050 I need to see something. I go over to the Record 01:26:44.050 --> 01:26:47.850 Town store over there in the mall and I get the 01:26:47.850 --> 01:26:51.520 Daredevil soundtrack. Lo and behold. nickelback 01:26:51.520 --> 01:26:55.640 learn the hard way i'm like what like literally 01:26:55.640 --> 01:26:58.600 the didn't have a heart attack but literally 01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:02.500 my lungs closed up opened up went sideways flipped 01:27:02.500 --> 01:27:05.920 upside down i don't know literally my breath 01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:08.800 i'm like new nickelback we haven't had new nickelback 01:27:08.800 --> 01:27:12.880 in like two years holy crap and then later that 01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:15.619 year they would release their new album the long 01:27:15.619 --> 01:27:21.199 road but uh but daredevil ben affleck jennifer 01:27:21.199 --> 01:27:25.939 gardner colin farrell joey pants joey pantaloni 01:27:25.939 --> 01:27:30.399 is in this as ben yorick absolutely love i loved 01:27:30.399 --> 01:27:33.239 it i thought it was great i thought they did 01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:36.520 a great job i don't get why everyone hates on 01:27:36.520 --> 01:27:39.460 this movie it's it's weird because like when 01:27:39.460 --> 01:27:41.439 it first came out everyone was like saying how 01:27:41.439 --> 01:27:43.680 great it was and then it was like they turned 01:27:43.680 --> 01:27:47.100 on a dime And it was very bizarre. It was like, 01:27:47.140 --> 01:27:49.020 this is the best movie ever. And then it was 01:27:49.020 --> 01:27:51.939 like, this movie's garbage. What happened? Yeah, 01:27:52.100 --> 01:27:55.319 and I don't know who you could have gotten. I'm 01:27:55.319 --> 01:27:58.279 thinking 2003. What white person you could have 01:27:58.279 --> 01:28:03.100 gotten that was the size of the comic book kingpin 01:28:03.100 --> 01:28:07.500 to fit into that role on film. At the time, Vincent 01:28:07.500 --> 01:28:11.840 D 'Onofrio was busy on Law & Order, and he was 01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:16.329 nowhere near the size he needed to be. for kingpin 01:28:16.329 --> 01:28:21.409 so i don't i never care most of the time i don't 01:28:21.409 --> 01:28:25.649 care about casting a different way if you're 01:28:25.649 --> 01:28:31.770 going to like change from white character to 01:28:31.770 --> 01:28:34.409 a black character to this character to that character 01:28:34.409 --> 01:28:37.350 if you're going to change from male to female 01:28:37.350 --> 01:28:42.319 i don't care But Michael Clark Duncan, again, 01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:48.180 another great actor. Before this, the last thing 01:28:48.180 --> 01:28:53.140 I had seen him in was Armageddon. He was Bear 01:28:53.140 --> 01:28:56.619 in Armageddon. I know he did other stuff, probably. 01:28:57.020 --> 01:28:59.060 I don't remember when Green Mile was, but he 01:28:59.060 --> 01:29:01.760 was J .C. Coffey in Green Mile. J .C. Coffey 01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:06.819 in Green Mile, yep. But man, he filled out and 01:29:06.819 --> 01:29:11.869 did... kingpin justice i believe i i fully stand 01:29:11.869 --> 01:29:16.069 by michael clark duncan's performance as as kingpin 01:29:16.069 --> 01:29:20.329 in daredevil and absolutely love that movie all 01:29:20.329 --> 01:29:29.210 right 2004 2004 has oh god 2004 2005 have more 01:29:29.210 --> 01:29:32.029 honorable mentions i think than any of the other 01:29:32.029 --> 01:29:34.569 honorable mentions on the entire list so i'm 01:29:34.569 --> 01:29:36.810 gonna try to go through these fast Really quick, 01:29:36.909 --> 01:29:44.449 fast rewind to 1995. Somewhere in 1998 or so, 01:29:44.529 --> 01:29:49.090 or maybe later, there was a film in 1995 that 01:29:49.090 --> 01:29:53.850 came out called Before Sunrise. It was with Ethan 01:29:53.850 --> 01:29:58.850 Hawke and Julie Delpy. It was a Richard Linklater 01:29:58.850 --> 01:30:02.810 film. And it's about them going around, I think 01:30:02.810 --> 01:30:08.100 it's Austria, I think. I forget. Anyway. And 01:30:08.100 --> 01:30:11.319 it's this romantic comedy type thing. It's not 01:30:11.319 --> 01:30:16.100 a comedy, but it's a single camera. It's a thing. 01:30:16.359 --> 01:30:20.920 So anyway, I saw this on TV at some point, somewhere, 01:30:21.220 --> 01:30:25.760 some way. So in 2004, they released a sequel 01:30:25.760 --> 01:30:29.800 called Before Sunset. So when I noticed that, 01:30:29.840 --> 01:30:31.800 I was like, oh, cool, I want to see that. So 01:30:31.800 --> 01:30:33.920 that's an honorable mention. Did not choose that. 01:30:34.730 --> 01:30:37.430 Taxi with Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah. That 01:30:37.430 --> 01:30:39.430 was hilarious. Absolutely love that movie, but 01:30:39.430 --> 01:30:44.890 that's not the choice. Paparazzi with... Oh, 01:30:45.149 --> 01:30:52.569 who's in that? Is it Colin Farrell? No, it's 01:30:52.569 --> 01:30:55.869 Cole Hauser. That's who's in that. Yeah, it's 01:30:55.869 --> 01:30:59.289 Cole Hauser. So Cole Hauser, I didn't mention 01:30:59.289 --> 01:31:02.350 this in the Good Will Hunting bit. He was in 01:31:02.350 --> 01:31:06.279 there. So that's where I first saw him. But Paparazzi, 01:31:06.539 --> 01:31:10.260 iRobot with Will Smith, absolutely love that 01:31:10.260 --> 01:31:14.439 movie. And then there's Nicolas Cage and the 01:31:14.439 --> 01:31:20.039 beginning of a two -film set, because the third 01:31:20.039 --> 01:31:22.819 film has not been made yet. They tried to make 01:31:22.819 --> 01:31:25.800 a crappy Disney Plus show, but no thank you, 01:31:25.859 --> 01:31:28.920 have not watched that. But 2004 was the start 01:31:28.920 --> 01:31:32.340 of National Treasure. I do love that, but... 01:31:32.970 --> 01:31:38.689 My pick is Tork. I don't think anybody except 01:31:38.689 --> 01:31:42.029 one other person I know even knows what the hell 01:31:42.029 --> 01:31:48.909 Tork is. Tork is basically Fast and the Furious, 01:31:48.989 --> 01:31:53.369 but motorcycles. Sort of, kind of, not really. 01:31:53.630 --> 01:31:59.289 It's about this guy who is trying to get from 01:31:59.289 --> 01:32:06.720 one place to the other and... They actively make 01:32:06.720 --> 01:32:09.479 fun of the race car people, the Fast and the 01:32:09.479 --> 01:32:14.479 Furious people. Ice Cube is in it. It's a nice 01:32:14.479 --> 01:32:18.960 little change of pace, and I don't see a lot 01:32:18.960 --> 01:32:23.960 of motorcycle movies. I know there are probably 01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:26.399 plenty of them if I actually did research on 01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:30.840 motorcycle movies. But it's a movie that I just 01:32:30.840 --> 01:32:33.920 really dug and I still dig to this day. I pull 01:32:33.920 --> 01:32:35.920 it out every now and then to watch it. So, yeah. 01:32:37.359 --> 01:32:40.960 2005. Did you watch that video I sent you about 01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:45.100 the Dark Knight? No. I was going to visit this 01:32:45.100 --> 01:32:50.060 morning. Okay. Well, Batman Begins is on the 01:32:50.060 --> 01:32:52.819 honorable mentions. Fantastic Four. Fantastic 01:32:52.819 --> 01:32:55.399 Four and Rise of the Silver Surfer, I think, 01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:58.489 get raw deals. I think people don't really like 01:32:58.489 --> 01:33:04.329 them because of whatever, but Evans and, uh, 01:33:04.569 --> 01:33:09.250 chickless as Johnny and, and Ben best casting 01:33:09.250 --> 01:33:13.750 at that time for those roles. Chris Evans is 01:33:13.750 --> 01:33:16.810 Johnny storm is hilarious. And Michael chickless 01:33:16.810 --> 01:33:22.810 as the thing, like it's clobbering. Oh God. Just, 01:33:22.909 --> 01:33:25.939 he has the voice, right. And he, knows what he's 01:33:25.939 --> 01:33:31.000 doing. He likes what he's doing. It's absolutely 01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:34.220 hilarious and fantastic. Samuel Jackson, Ice 01:33:34.220 --> 01:33:37.300 Cube in the XXX sequel with State of the Union. 01:33:37.520 --> 01:33:40.060 Absolutely enjoyed that. William Defoe's in that. 01:33:40.199 --> 01:33:43.859 Or Willem Defoe's in that. But the choice goes 01:33:43.859 --> 01:33:47.560 back to the Boston roots and it has to be Fever 01:33:47.560 --> 01:33:52.659 Pitch. Because the year before, after 86 years, 01:33:53.079 --> 01:33:56.689 the Boston Red Sox Finally did it. They beat 01:33:56.689 --> 01:34:03.550 the curse. And we won. Yeah. From 2004 to 1918 01:34:03.550 --> 01:34:06.569 or whatever it was. It's been that long since 01:34:06.569 --> 01:34:11.149 the Sox beat the curse. Yeah. I remember it was 01:34:11.149 --> 01:34:14.010 a big story. And the irony was that that movie 01:34:14.010 --> 01:34:17.289 had a completely different ending. They had to 01:34:17.289 --> 01:34:21.770 change it because they won. Yeah, I remember 01:34:21.770 --> 01:34:24.109 all the features from the DVD at the time. They 01:34:24.109 --> 01:34:26.250 had to constantly change the filming because 01:34:26.250 --> 01:34:29.390 they were constantly there at the games because 01:34:29.390 --> 01:34:31.350 they weren't sure if the Sox were going to win 01:34:31.350 --> 01:34:33.010 or not. So they had to constantly change the 01:34:33.010 --> 01:34:35.470 ending of the film. But thankfully they did win. 01:34:35.869 --> 01:34:40.729 And I just, I could do without the scene where 01:34:40.729 --> 01:34:44.609 Jimmy is brushing her dog's teeth, but I understand 01:34:44.609 --> 01:34:48.680 why it's there. Other than that. I really dig 01:34:48.680 --> 01:34:51.579 fever and I can do without the scene with him 01:34:51.579 --> 01:34:54.720 and his buddies giving him a shower because whatever, 01:34:54.800 --> 01:34:57.500 but it is what it is. Other than that, I like 01:34:57.500 --> 01:35:00.819 overall, it didn't really truly bother me, but 01:35:00.819 --> 01:35:03.420 like if I was going to nitpick about it, but 01:35:03.420 --> 01:35:10.960 I mean, it's a, that movie shows people how anal 01:35:10.960 --> 01:35:15.880 retentive we Bostonians are about. the things 01:35:15.880 --> 01:35:18.439 we love whether it's the red socks whether it's 01:35:18.439 --> 01:35:23.720 music whether it's whatever like literally it's 01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:26.319 religion for us it doesn't matter what it is 01:35:26.319 --> 01:35:30.340 dude i remember in lost the tv show lost yeah 01:35:30.340 --> 01:35:34.640 then uses the fact that the red socks won as 01:35:34.640 --> 01:35:37.779 a mind -breaking technique i remember the character's 01:35:37.779 --> 01:35:39.220 name but like the main character the doctor guy 01:35:39.220 --> 01:35:43.149 um from party Matthew Fox's character. Yeah, 01:35:43.210 --> 01:35:47.350 because he's a Bostonian. And his dad always 01:35:47.350 --> 01:35:50.109 said, oh, you know, like dad always say when 01:35:50.109 --> 01:35:52.289 the Red Sox will win, it's like a it'll never 01:35:52.289 --> 01:35:55.130 happen thing. And Ben shows him footage of the 01:35:55.130 --> 01:35:59.369 Red Sox winning and it breaks him. That's cool. 01:35:59.470 --> 01:36:01.090 It's like psychological torture because they've 01:36:01.090 --> 01:36:03.890 been on the island for like a year. All right. 01:36:04.369 --> 01:36:09.149 2006. I don't know how many actual films there 01:36:09.149 --> 01:36:13.590 are about Little Red Riding Hood, but the animated 01:36:13.590 --> 01:36:18.029 Hoodwinked film from 2006 was just hilarious 01:36:18.029 --> 01:36:22.369 because you have Christopher Warburton as the 01:36:22.369 --> 01:36:28.109 wolf. I thought that was hilarious. I absolutely 01:36:28.109 --> 01:36:31.369 love that. Cars. I will also mention Leroy and 01:36:31.369 --> 01:36:34.350 Stitch because I love the Lilo and Stitch franchise. 01:36:36.040 --> 01:36:39.300 Leroy and Stitch was the last, the finale of 01:36:39.300 --> 01:36:42.659 the animated films for that series. But the choice 01:36:42.659 --> 01:36:45.279 has to go to, and I can't believe I'm actually 01:36:45.279 --> 01:36:47.960 picking this, but Mission Impossible 3 and the 01:36:47.960 --> 01:36:53.420 Exploding Heads. Hi, JJ. You went from Star Trek 01:36:53.420 --> 01:37:00.479 to Exploding Heads. No, you started with Exploding 01:37:00.479 --> 01:37:02.460 Heads, and then you'll go to Star Trek. That's 01:37:02.460 --> 01:37:06.159 later. Star Trek is 2009. Yes, yes, yes, I know. 01:37:06.239 --> 01:37:10.439 I see it here. Yeah, Mission Impossible 3. This 01:37:10.439 --> 01:37:15.899 was the introduction of Owen Davian, and... What 01:37:15.899 --> 01:37:20.840 a character Owen Davian is. Holy crap. What an 01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:24.699 evil villain he was. And yeah, that movie is 01:37:24.699 --> 01:37:29.100 just crazy. Just absolutely crazy. I absolutely 01:37:29.100 --> 01:37:31.659 love it. You've been listening to the Geekcast 01:37:31.659 --> 01:37:35.310 Radio Network. You have a wife or... girlfriend 01:37:35.310 --> 01:37:38.930 because i'm gonna find her and i'm gonna hurt 01:37:38.930 --> 01:37:41.569 her then i'm gonna kill you right in front of 01:37:41.569 --> 01:37:43.789 her but before that i'm gonna make you listen 01:37:43.789 --> 01:37:48.550 to the geekcast radio network uh 2007 2007 has 01:37:48.550 --> 01:37:52.170 i was trying to find this photo i'll have to 01:37:52.170 --> 01:37:54.409 find it for you after i was trying to find it 01:37:54.409 --> 01:37:56.569 before so you i could have you comment on it 01:37:56.569 --> 01:38:00.670 but we were my mom and i were going to see national 01:38:00.670 --> 01:38:04.590 treasure book of secrets the sequel And they 01:38:04.590 --> 01:38:10.029 had a Simpsons couch out, I think. There was 01:38:10.029 --> 01:38:13.329 something in 2007 right before or right as, or 01:38:13.329 --> 01:38:15.130 maybe we were actually going to see The Simpsons. 01:38:15.149 --> 01:38:16.470 Oh, it was probably when we were going to see 01:38:16.470 --> 01:38:18.930 the movie. They had the Simpsons couch thing 01:38:18.930 --> 01:38:20.750 where you could sit on it and take a picture 01:38:20.750 --> 01:38:24.350 thing. I have a picture of myself on the Simpsons 01:38:24.350 --> 01:38:26.850 couch somewhere on Facebook or wherever. I was 01:38:26.850 --> 01:38:30.289 trying to find that before the show. So, Book 01:38:30.289 --> 01:38:32.869 of Secrets from National Treasure, Die Hard 4. 01:38:33.720 --> 01:38:36.380 The Simpsons movie are the honorable mentions, 01:38:36.439 --> 01:38:51.640 but the winner goes to... Drumroll, please. Transformers. 01:38:52.060 --> 01:38:56.720 The only reason why it's going to the first Transformers 01:38:56.720 --> 01:39:00.380 live action movie is because it's the first Transformers 01:39:00.380 --> 01:39:03.909 live action movie. And I never thought I would 01:39:03.909 --> 01:39:07.829 ever see, none of us Transformers fans ever thought 01:39:07.829 --> 01:39:11.909 we were going to see a first ever Transformers 01:39:11.909 --> 01:39:15.329 live action movie in theaters or anywhere ever 01:39:15.329 --> 01:39:19.829 at all. This first movie, it just, the only thing 01:39:19.829 --> 01:39:21.850 that annoyed me out of this movie as far as I 01:39:21.850 --> 01:39:25.229 remember, and we have other podcasts on geekcastradio 01:39:25.229 --> 01:39:27.710 .com. You can go back into our archives and check 01:39:27.710 --> 01:39:31.289 them out. The only thing to this day that annoys 01:39:31.289 --> 01:39:33.989 the hell out of me about this first movie is 01:39:33.989 --> 01:39:38.310 Shia LaBeouf and Sam Witwicky, his character. 01:39:38.750 --> 01:39:44.909 Oh, my God. Oh, that kid. That's the only real 01:39:44.909 --> 01:39:48.109 thing that annoys me. Everything else in that 01:39:48.109 --> 01:39:50.829 movie, what they did with that movie, I absolutely 01:39:50.829 --> 01:39:54.729 really, really enjoyed. And getting Peter... 01:39:55.640 --> 01:39:57.539 I remember interviews with Michael Bay. If we 01:39:57.539 --> 01:39:59.920 can't get Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, then 01:39:59.920 --> 01:40:01.979 it's not going to work, and blah, blah, blah. 01:40:02.939 --> 01:40:07.500 Hearing Peter Cullen's voice come out of a 50 01:40:07.500 --> 01:40:09.500 -foot robot, even though I know technically it's 01:40:09.500 --> 01:40:11.479 just a tennis ball in the background, but seeing 01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:15.340 the visual effects, seeing them transform, like, 01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:19.380 oh, it's so good. Any thoughts before I move 01:40:19.380 --> 01:40:26.739 on, sir? Nope. Okay. 2008. 2008 was the DC versus 01:40:26.739 --> 01:40:29.739 Marvel conundrum. And then there was the card 01:40:29.739 --> 01:40:31.800 game. But the card game was never going to win. 01:40:31.859 --> 01:40:33.380 I just threw that in there because I think it's 01:40:33.380 --> 01:40:34.840 an awesome movie and I think everyone should 01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:38.899 watch it. The card game movie is called 21. Have 01:40:38.899 --> 01:40:42.979 you ever seen 21? No. It's got Laurence Fishburne 01:40:42.979 --> 01:40:45.439 in it. It's got a bunch of other people in it. 01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:49.819 It's based off of a true story about card cheating. 01:40:50.380 --> 01:40:54.000 It's very, very cool. It's a fun little film. 01:40:54.140 --> 01:40:57.220 It's about these college students who try to 01:40:57.220 --> 01:41:02.239 cheat at Blackjack to make their tuition. I think 01:41:02.239 --> 01:41:04.600 I remember hearing about that. Yeah, it's very 01:41:04.600 --> 01:41:09.699 fun. It's a very cool movie. 2008 was DC vs. 01:41:09.939 --> 01:41:12.939 Marvel with The Dark Knight vs. The Iron Man. 01:41:14.590 --> 01:41:19.329 The superhero -ness and the glitz and glamour 01:41:19.329 --> 01:41:24.869 of Iron Man versus the dark realism of Chicago 01:41:24.869 --> 01:41:31.890 as Gotham City in the dark. I'm like, oh my god. 01:41:32.270 --> 01:41:35.609 Is it better to be feared or respected? And I 01:41:35.609 --> 01:41:39.729 say, is it too much to ask for both? With that 01:41:39.729 --> 01:41:42.430 in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of 01:41:42.430 --> 01:41:44.680 Stark Industries' Freedom Line. It's the first 01:41:44.680 --> 01:41:46.479 missile system to incorporate our proprietary 01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:50.479 repulsor technology. They say the best weapon 01:41:50.479 --> 01:41:53.220 is one you never have to fire. I respectfully 01:41:53.220 --> 01:41:57.119 disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to 01:41:57.119 --> 01:42:00.659 fire once. That's how Dad did it. That's how 01:42:00.659 --> 01:42:03.720 America does it. And it's worked out pretty well 01:42:03.720 --> 01:42:09.439 so far. Why so serious? But... I gotta go with 01:42:09.439 --> 01:42:13.640 Tony. I love the Dark Knight. I do. I absolutely 01:42:13.640 --> 01:42:18.020 do. I just pre -ordered the 4K triple feature 01:42:18.020 --> 01:42:21.260 collection of all three films. That's coming 01:42:21.260 --> 01:42:25.199 out later. I think it's, I don't know, later 01:42:25.199 --> 01:42:29.439 this year or whenever it is. But as much as I 01:42:29.439 --> 01:42:32.220 love The Dark Knight, as much as I love Heath 01:42:32.220 --> 01:42:35.479 Ledger as the Joker, Heath Ledger as the Joker, 01:42:35.600 --> 01:42:42.010 it's like... If that was a young Mark Hamill. 01:42:45.710 --> 01:42:47.890 Yeah, but we already got that. He was on The 01:42:47.890 --> 01:42:52.390 Flash as the trickster. Yeah, okay, fine. I'm 01:42:52.390 --> 01:42:53.850 just saying we got it. I mean, I'm not saying 01:42:53.850 --> 01:42:55.689 that in a negative way. I'm saying you can't 01:42:55.689 --> 01:42:57.609 go, oh, if only it was Mark Hamill. Mark Hamill 01:42:57.609 --> 01:43:01.609 did it. I mean, where do you think the Joker 01:43:01.609 --> 01:43:05.529 came from? I know. The great thing is then when 01:43:05.529 --> 01:43:07.010 they did the new Flash, they brought it back 01:43:07.010 --> 01:43:10.680 as this. Both as the same character? Yeah, I 01:43:10.680 --> 01:43:15.840 know. I remember. No, but I'm saying that's where 01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:19.600 I think that they... And I could be wrong. I 01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:21.399 might have to watch some more producer clips 01:43:21.399 --> 01:43:24.760 or something. There's a graphic novel that they... 01:43:24.760 --> 01:43:28.939 Right. I know. That's where they got Heath Ledger's 01:43:28.939 --> 01:43:32.680 character from. Right, but I'm saying there's 01:43:32.680 --> 01:43:36.380 some... I don't know. There is some dark moments. 01:43:36.380 --> 01:43:38.380 What was it, Tom Waits? His voice was supposed 01:43:38.380 --> 01:43:41.500 to be Tom Waits, I think. Ooh. He had a Chicago 01:43:41.500 --> 01:43:47.100 accent. Ooh. Jeez. Anyway. I might be getting 01:43:47.100 --> 01:43:49.520 the singer wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was 01:43:49.520 --> 01:43:51.140 Tom Waits. I think that's what it is, probably, 01:43:51.220 --> 01:43:52.859 yeah. He's Australian, so he doesn't really sound 01:43:52.859 --> 01:43:55.600 like he's from Chicago. Yeah, exactly. Okay, 01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:58.939 I will. I've been very quiet. Dark Knight is 01:43:58.939 --> 01:44:03.359 a good film. Yes. I just, I don't like Bale's 01:44:03.359 --> 01:44:08.810 Batman. And I think Ledger is great. He's not... 01:44:08.810 --> 01:44:11.649 I guess I'll put it this way. He's not my Joker. 01:44:11.829 --> 01:44:14.930 He's not how I envision Joker. He's a great character. 01:44:15.189 --> 01:44:17.050 There's a character from the comics called Anarchy. 01:44:17.529 --> 01:44:20.729 I'm sure you know who he is. If he was Anarchy, 01:44:20.949 --> 01:44:23.949 I would like that film more. He's more that than 01:44:23.949 --> 01:44:29.090 the Joker. Me. And then I also, like, it's hard 01:44:29.090 --> 01:44:32.430 for me to love a Batman film where it ends with 01:44:32.430 --> 01:44:37.550 Batman being chased by dogs. I'm not into it, 01:44:37.590 --> 01:44:39.949 man. So it's one of those films, like, yeah, 01:44:40.069 --> 01:44:42.890 I get it. It's a good film. I don't love it like 01:44:42.890 --> 01:44:45.069 everybody else does. I have a lot of nitpicks. 01:44:46.229 --> 01:44:49.350 Yeah, but Iron Man is the pick. Oh, yeah, and 01:44:49.350 --> 01:44:52.869 Iron Man is the pick. Yeah. We were talking about... 01:44:54.510 --> 01:44:58.649 J .K. Simmons as J. Jemma Jansen, not really 01:44:58.649 --> 01:45:04.470 being cast, but just being the role. Yes. And 01:45:04.470 --> 01:45:06.909 the weird thing is, if you actually read the 01:45:06.909 --> 01:45:11.369 comics, Roderick Downey Jr. became Tony Stark. 01:45:11.829 --> 01:45:13.430 Oh, absolutely. I don't think you could ever 01:45:13.430 --> 01:45:15.250 look at the character the same way again, because 01:45:15.250 --> 01:45:17.590 he wasn't quite like that in the comics. But 01:45:17.590 --> 01:45:23.319 now he is. That casting is so iconic. And they're 01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:26.340 making all this noise that after Secret War, 01:45:26.500 --> 01:45:28.659 they're going to reboot everything. And God help 01:45:28.659 --> 01:45:33.279 the poor soul who tries to follow up Robert Downey 01:45:33.279 --> 01:45:36.520 Jr. as Tony Stark. Honestly, both of them. Because 01:45:36.520 --> 01:45:41.819 Fahey has said they are recasting both Iron Man 01:45:41.819 --> 01:45:47.300 and Cap. So anyone that follows up Evans as Steve... 01:45:47.300 --> 01:45:51.199 Yeah, well, that's another one. That's one I 01:45:51.199 --> 01:45:53.420 feel like... I don't know how everyone else feels 01:45:53.420 --> 01:45:57.000 about it. I love Evans as Captain America. Me 01:45:57.000 --> 01:46:00.779 too. I was never a fan of the comics, but I adore 01:46:00.779 --> 01:46:06.720 one of my favorite movie lines of all time. I'm 01:46:06.720 --> 01:46:09.399 going to be a little personal here. I am personally 01:46:09.399 --> 01:46:11.840 an atheist. I am not religious. I am not spiritual. 01:46:12.340 --> 01:46:15.399 I haven't been since I was a little child. Long 01:46:15.399 --> 01:46:17.500 story short, things turned me off of religion, 01:46:17.659 --> 01:46:22.130 and I never got in. In the first Avengers, Black 01:46:22.130 --> 01:46:24.949 Widow says, you should stay out of this cap. 01:46:25.029 --> 01:46:29.090 They're basically gods. And he says, there's 01:46:29.090 --> 01:46:30.569 only one god, ma 'am, and I'm pretty sure he 01:46:30.569 --> 01:46:32.869 doesn't dress that way. And just my heart went 01:46:32.869 --> 01:46:36.810 boom. And it's so corny and old -fashioned, but 01:46:36.810 --> 01:46:38.670 like the movie says, we need old -fashioned. 01:46:39.109 --> 01:46:42.369 I love that he believes. I love that he is this 01:46:42.369 --> 01:46:45.930 simple old -fashioned guy from the night. The 01:46:45.930 --> 01:46:51.170 early Marvel movies are so perfectly cast. It's 01:46:51.170 --> 01:46:54.729 mind -blowing. The Thor movies are kind of mediocre, 01:46:55.069 --> 01:47:00.369 but Thor and Loki are so brilliantly cast. All 01:47:00.369 --> 01:47:03.569 the casting in all of the early Marvel movies 01:47:03.569 --> 01:47:07.789 is brilliant. Yep, absolutely. Alright, 2009. 01:47:08.289 --> 01:47:13.750 2009 was rough because it brings back memories 01:47:13.750 --> 01:47:20.199 because I believe... technical difficulties. 01:47:20.500 --> 01:47:23.680 Let's move on, shall we? Alright, folks, 2009 01:47:23.680 --> 01:47:27.060 is next up, and 2009's gonna be a little rough 01:47:27.060 --> 01:47:30.600 because it would be two years later that we would 01:47:30.600 --> 01:47:35.500 have lost this friend, but 2009, my buddy Optimus 01:47:35.500 --> 01:47:39.239 Scourge, a .k .a. Gary Clark, along with Proto 01:47:39.239 --> 01:47:45.039 Man, a .k .a. Daniel, would have done the Transformers 01:47:45.039 --> 01:47:49.510 Revenge of the Fallen. episode of toy cast we 01:47:49.510 --> 01:47:54.029 did a kind of a running theatrical recap that 01:47:54.029 --> 01:47:56.229 we all went and saw the movie separately because 01:47:56.229 --> 01:47:57.949 we all live in different areas of the country 01:47:57.949 --> 01:48:00.569 and whatever actually i think part of man lives 01:48:00.569 --> 01:48:03.710 up in canada but uh we all went and saw the movie 01:48:03.710 --> 01:48:06.550 we all came back and all sat down recorded a 01:48:06.550 --> 01:48:09.229 podcast i think it's episode four of toy cast 01:48:09.229 --> 01:48:13.090 that we did that episode Unfortunately, Optimus 01:48:13.090 --> 01:48:16.510 Scourge would lose his life two years later in 01:48:16.510 --> 01:48:21.270 September of 2011, so it's been a number of years 01:48:21.270 --> 01:48:23.649 since he's been gone. Missed that guy so much, 01:48:23.710 --> 01:48:28.770 he would have just been geeking out, even if 01:48:28.770 --> 01:48:30.970 the Transformers live -action movies have been 01:48:30.970 --> 01:48:36.180 bad ever since. He just would have been geeking 01:48:36.180 --> 01:48:38.079 out every time there would be a new Transformers 01:48:38.079 --> 01:48:40.680 live -action movie. But Revenge of the Fallen 01:48:40.680 --> 01:48:43.560 is not my choice, but I had to bring it up here 01:48:43.560 --> 01:48:45.779 because I wanted to mention him and honor him 01:48:45.779 --> 01:48:48.420 because that conversation we had in that episode, 01:48:48.619 --> 01:48:50.840 I will try my best to remember to link it in 01:48:50.840 --> 01:48:52.659 the show notes for you folks so you can go back 01:48:52.659 --> 01:48:55.760 and listen to it. It was such a good conversation. 01:48:56.979 --> 01:48:59.220 And then 2009 also had Fast and the Furious. 01:48:59.279 --> 01:49:02.699 However, my choice is that five -year mission. 01:49:03.369 --> 01:49:07.750 Gotta go with JJ. Gotta go with Star Trek. Because 01:49:07.750 --> 01:49:12.329 damn, that movie. That lens flare was so good. 01:49:13.689 --> 01:49:19.529 Are you out of your Vulcan mind? I really dug 01:49:19.529 --> 01:49:24.369 it. I thought that they were on their way to 01:49:24.369 --> 01:49:30.409 having a whole new cool universe of modern like 01:49:30.939 --> 01:49:34.079 When I say modern, I mean modern looking. Like, 01:49:34.100 --> 01:49:37.359 not, you know, the old style of the way the... 01:49:37.359 --> 01:49:40.039 Because modern filmmaking... Yeah, the original 01:49:40.039 --> 01:49:43.699 show is a product of its time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:49:44.119 --> 01:49:48.640 So, like, you know, I thought it was casted well 01:49:48.640 --> 01:49:50.899 for the most part. Well, I believe as we said 01:49:50.899 --> 01:49:53.840 in our Star Wars things, like, J .J. Abrams... 01:49:53.840 --> 01:49:59.680 I mean, his real genius is casting. Every movie 01:49:59.680 --> 01:50:02.300 I've seen of his has been very well cast. And 01:50:02.300 --> 01:50:05.819 I will say, as a fan of the original series and 01:50:05.819 --> 01:50:08.739 Next Generation and blah blah blah, this movie 01:50:08.739 --> 01:50:11.460 should not have worked. It should have been a 01:50:11.460 --> 01:50:12.899 disaster. It should have been an embarrassment. 01:50:13.039 --> 01:50:18.619 And it wasn't. It worked. It was fun and it worked. 01:50:18.960 --> 01:50:21.319 It was just a rehash of Wrath of Khan, but it 01:50:21.319 --> 01:50:25.640 was the first rehash of Wrath of Khan, so you 01:50:25.640 --> 01:50:29.569 kind of forgave it. Wait, no, this one wasn't. 01:50:29.569 --> 01:50:34.029 Angry dude after character, after revenge. Nero 01:50:34.029 --> 01:50:36.210 was after Spock. It was Wrath of Khan with Nero 01:50:36.210 --> 01:50:42.109 as Khan and Spock as Kirk. Yeah, okay. I'm like, 01:50:42.189 --> 01:50:45.029 wait a minute. The badness doesn't happen until 01:50:45.029 --> 01:50:47.569 we go into darkness. Oh, no, the second one is 01:50:47.569 --> 01:50:52.250 literally Khan. Yeah. The third one is, I can't 01:50:52.250 --> 01:50:54.180 remember the actor's name, but he was. Again, 01:50:54.380 --> 01:50:56.460 it was basically calm. All three of the Star 01:50:56.460 --> 01:50:59.659 Trek movies are basically wrath of calm. Angry 01:50:59.659 --> 01:51:01.760 dude out for revenge. It's like there's more 01:51:01.760 --> 01:51:04.340 to Star Trek than angry dudes out for revenge. 01:51:05.079 --> 01:51:07.159 Oh, come on, JJ. Better than the one with the 01:51:07.159 --> 01:51:09.800 whales. It was a good one. Yeah, but Star Trek 01:51:09.800 --> 01:51:14.199 2009, absolutely love it. 2010. 2010 was stacked, 01:51:14.239 --> 01:51:19.000 and I had, out of the five films I have listed, 01:51:19.260 --> 01:51:23.250 I... I switched between three of them before 01:51:23.250 --> 01:51:26.710 I made my final choice, which my final choice 01:51:26.710 --> 01:51:29.430 is Tron Legacy, which we will talk about Tron 01:51:29.430 --> 01:51:31.430 and Tron Legacy here in a moment. But the other 01:51:31.430 --> 01:51:36.069 options were Toy Story 3, The A -Team, Iron Man 01:51:36.069 --> 01:51:39.949 2, and Despicable Me. So the only one I really 01:51:39.949 --> 01:51:42.710 want to highlight, I'll say this about Toy Story 01:51:42.710 --> 01:51:45.909 3. Toy Story 3 should have been the finale. There 01:51:45.909 --> 01:51:49.350 should not have been a Toy Story 4. Agreed. Toy 01:51:49.350 --> 01:51:53.550 Story 3 was perfect. It sent it off well. I don't 01:51:53.550 --> 01:51:54.869 know what the hell they're going to do with Toy 01:51:54.869 --> 01:51:57.550 Story 5. I will watch the trailer whenever it 01:51:57.550 --> 01:52:02.270 drops, but I did not really care for Toy Story 01:52:02.270 --> 01:52:05.390 4 that much. I tried watching it. I did watch 01:52:05.390 --> 01:52:08.250 it all the way through, but it wasn't my favorite. 01:52:09.289 --> 01:52:13.750 Toy Story 2 is way better than Toy Story 4. Toy 01:52:13.750 --> 01:52:17.020 Story 2 is one of the best films. If we were 01:52:17.020 --> 01:52:18.600 doing a favorite film of all time list, it would 01:52:18.600 --> 01:52:22.500 be top five for me. Oh yeah, easily. The A -Team, 01:52:22.659 --> 01:52:24.960 I know a lot of people hate this movie. I liked 01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:28.140 it just because... I didn't hate it, but I mean... 01:52:28.140 --> 01:52:35.380 It's... It's the show minus a lot of the... special 01:52:35.380 --> 01:52:39.579 character bits, like special finesse of the show, 01:52:39.659 --> 01:52:42.699 but it's a modern, sleek, cut -down, two -hour 01:52:42.699 --> 01:52:45.880 version of the show kind of thing, where instead 01:52:45.880 --> 01:52:50.000 of having five days of an hour -long show, you 01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:54.500 have just two hours of whatever. I still go back 01:52:54.500 --> 01:52:57.319 and watch this once in a while. Iron Man 2 is 01:52:57.319 --> 01:53:03.899 Iron Man 2. It was okay. I don't know. I don't 01:53:03.899 --> 01:53:06.260 have as much attachment to Iron Man 2 as I do 01:53:06.260 --> 01:53:10.140 Iron Man 3, so there's that. Despicable Me, I 01:53:10.140 --> 01:53:14.880 love that movie. It's so fun. So, Tron and Tron 01:53:14.880 --> 01:53:18.340 Legacy. So, I wanted to obviously see the first 01:53:18.340 --> 01:53:23.199 movie before I saw the sequel. So, I'm like, 01:53:23.399 --> 01:53:25.380 this is 2010, and I'm like, okay, there's no 01:53:25.380 --> 01:53:28.279 Disney +, and I didn't say that then, but I'm 01:53:28.279 --> 01:53:31.319 like, now. uh there's no this there's no that 01:53:31.319 --> 01:53:34.079 where can i find tron where can i find this probably 01:53:34.079 --> 01:53:37.680 found it through some nefarious source or whatever 01:53:37.680 --> 01:53:41.560 and i watched tron i'm like oh okay this is what 01:53:41.560 --> 01:53:45.619 everyone's been talking about since 1982 this 01:53:45.619 --> 01:53:49.060 is really cool this is Very retro, because again, 01:53:49.220 --> 01:53:52.119 2010 compared to 82 when I was two years old, 01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:55.079 and I really dug the first Tron movie. I thought 01:53:55.079 --> 01:53:57.260 it was really fun. I thought it was really cool 01:53:57.260 --> 01:53:59.800 and really great. I thought it was very interesting. 01:54:00.619 --> 01:54:03.899 This whole idea of, again, being able to escape 01:54:03.899 --> 01:54:07.800 into another world. That's what we've been trying 01:54:07.800 --> 01:54:09.720 to do our whole lives. That's what we do with 01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:12.260 podcasting. That's what we do with watching entertainment, 01:54:12.500 --> 01:54:15.920 is we escape into another world outside of real 01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:20.010 life. Cool. Awesome. Absolutely loved it. Love 01:54:20.010 --> 01:54:25.510 the light cycles. Light cycles are awesome. The 01:54:25.510 --> 01:54:27.630 disc battles could have been a little bit better. 01:54:28.689 --> 01:54:32.229 In Tron, I think, little, just like half a smidge 01:54:32.229 --> 01:54:34.810 better. But yeah, no, I absolutely loved it. 01:54:34.829 --> 01:54:37.689 I thought it was a great film, the original Tron. 01:54:37.869 --> 01:54:49.800 Tron Legacy? Oh, I loved it. I... It just hit 01:54:49.800 --> 01:54:53.680 on all cylinders. They did everything so well. 01:54:54.220 --> 01:55:01.640 I wish we were getting more of this. I wish they 01:55:01.640 --> 01:55:06.659 hadn't waited so goddamn long. Because this is 01:55:06.659 --> 01:55:10.659 2010, we're now in 2025. I wish Bruce was still 01:55:10.659 --> 01:55:15.079 involved, but he's not, unfortunately. But this 01:55:15.079 --> 01:55:20.239 was, Tron Legacy was so cool, and it was so fun. 01:55:20.779 --> 01:55:23.220 Just absolutely love it. You have anything to 01:55:23.220 --> 01:55:26.640 say about 2010? I have two things to say. Number 01:55:26.640 --> 01:55:30.619 one, very quickly, one of the best soundtracks 01:55:30.619 --> 01:55:33.159 ever. Absolutely. I'm a little brokenhearted 01:55:33.159 --> 01:55:35.539 that Daft Punk broke up, because I would love 01:55:35.539 --> 01:55:38.500 for them to do the sequel, whatever it is, Ares. 01:55:39.319 --> 01:55:43.239 It's a thing I have two copies of, because I 01:55:43.239 --> 01:55:47.100 have one in the car. The other thing is, as we 01:55:47.100 --> 01:55:51.000 are recording this, Comic -Con is currently taking 01:55:51.000 --> 01:55:55.560 place. Yes. And back in 2010, I was with a website, 01:55:55.680 --> 01:56:00.420 and we were covering Comic -Con. And they wanted 01:56:00.420 --> 01:56:01.960 to walk all over the city, and I didn't want 01:56:01.960 --> 01:56:04.100 to walk all over. But they kept dragging me all 01:56:04.100 --> 01:56:05.479 these places. And one of the places they dragged 01:56:05.479 --> 01:56:09.130 me to was there was a hidden pop -up. Apparently 01:56:09.130 --> 01:56:10.609 that's the thing they do in San Diego during 01:56:10.609 --> 01:56:13.010 Comic -Con. It's a hidden pop -up store or facility 01:56:13.010 --> 01:56:17.529 or thing. They had one for Tron. The front of 01:56:17.529 --> 01:56:21.689 it is Flynn's Arcade. There's a little passageway 01:56:21.689 --> 01:56:23.890 and you see a little device that digitizes you. 01:56:24.529 --> 01:56:30.630 In the back was the bar from Tron Legacy. They 01:56:30.630 --> 01:56:32.890 had this huge screen and they were playing the 01:56:32.890 --> 01:56:34.789 trailer. It hadn't come out yet. They were playing 01:56:34.789 --> 01:56:37.399 the trailer over and over again. And it had the 01:56:37.399 --> 01:56:41.779 Daft Punk music. And there were all these LED 01:56:41.779 --> 01:56:43.939 lights throughout the entire bar, and they were 01:56:43.939 --> 01:56:46.420 set to go with the music. So the music would 01:56:46.420 --> 01:56:51.180 hit a beat, and the lights would change. I mean, 01:56:51.239 --> 01:56:53.460 for being a grumpy old sourpuss and not wanting 01:56:53.460 --> 01:56:58.680 to go, it was really cool. And I still have one 01:56:58.680 --> 01:57:01.180 of the things you got, because the arcade was 01:57:01.180 --> 01:57:02.819 an actual arcade. There were actual video games. 01:57:03.510 --> 01:57:08.210 You had one of those little 80s rubber coin purses, 01:57:08.229 --> 01:57:11.189 you know, that Milhouse had one in Simpsons. 01:57:11.630 --> 01:57:15.449 Yep. Filled with Flynn's Arcade tokens. Oh, wow. 01:57:15.510 --> 01:57:18.270 That is so cool. And I have all of them but one 01:57:18.270 --> 01:57:20.229 because the girl I was with at the time, her 01:57:20.229 --> 01:57:21.829 son really loved Tron, so I gave him one of the 01:57:21.829 --> 01:57:25.289 tokens. Oh, very cool. Very cool, very cool. 01:57:25.630 --> 01:57:28.170 Yeah, I wish Daft Punk didn't break up either 01:57:28.170 --> 01:57:31.229 because, damn, that would be so cool. I love 01:57:31.229 --> 01:57:34.949 their music. Their music is so good in this and 01:57:34.949 --> 01:57:37.590 the original and all that stuff. I absolutely 01:57:37.590 --> 01:57:45.149 love it. 2011 has three honorable mentions. Cars 01:57:45.149 --> 01:57:49.529 2. I don't care what anyone says. It's an honorable 01:57:49.529 --> 01:57:56.369 mention. Even then. I'm not so quietly rolling 01:57:56.369 --> 01:58:02.020 my eyes. I apologize. I like Cars 2. I like Cars 01:58:02.020 --> 01:58:06.579 2 because it has... Oh, what's his name? Michael 01:58:06.579 --> 01:58:10.520 Caine. Yes, Michael Caine. Thank you. Finn McMissile. 01:58:10.640 --> 01:58:13.520 Yeah. There's a couple of jokes in there that 01:58:13.520 --> 01:58:15.960 I really like in that movie. Mission Impossible 01:58:15.960 --> 01:58:19.180 Ghost Protocol, which is basically MI4, because, 01:58:19.260 --> 01:58:26.380 I mean, you get to see him run up the wall and 01:58:26.380 --> 01:58:33.300 then lay on top of the wall. That's just wow. 01:58:34.779 --> 01:58:38.439 And then the third honorable mention is Phineas 01:58:38.439 --> 01:58:44.060 and Ferb across the second dimension. But the 01:58:44.060 --> 01:58:46.979 choice has to go to Fast Five because this is 01:58:46.979 --> 01:58:50.920 where they changed the franchise from just being 01:58:50.920 --> 01:58:55.399 race cars to being heist films. And Fast Five 01:58:55.399 --> 01:59:04.100 is just man. Oh, boy. It's just so good. That 01:59:04.100 --> 01:59:08.840 movie just lifted the franchise. Fast Five, Six, 01:59:08.920 --> 01:59:11.319 and Seven as a trilogy within that franchise. 01:59:12.319 --> 01:59:18.300 Just perfect trilogy within that franchise. Any 01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:22.420 other thoughts before I move on to 2012? No? 01:59:22.500 --> 01:59:25.979 Is that a no, I guess? I saw the first three 01:59:25.979 --> 01:59:29.760 minutes of Fast and the Furious 2, I think. It 01:59:29.760 --> 01:59:34.479 was very colorful. Yes, it was. Too Fast, Too 01:59:34.479 --> 01:59:36.319 Furious was very, very colorful. They were in 01:59:36.319 --> 01:59:39.199 Miami, after all. I think that was a Japan one. 01:59:41.060 --> 01:59:44.199 Oh, then you saw Tokyo Drift. That's the third 01:59:44.199 --> 01:59:48.060 movie from 2006. I don't know. The cars were 01:59:48.060 --> 01:59:50.260 all... Every car, and then the girls with the 01:59:50.260 --> 01:59:52.439 cars were color -coordinated. It was like a comic 01:59:52.439 --> 01:59:55.100 book. Oh, well, that was probably too fast, too 01:59:55.100 --> 01:59:57.000 furious. They were not in Japan. It was endlessly 01:59:57.000 --> 01:59:59.340 fascinating, and then I found something else 01:59:59.340 --> 02:00:06.060 to do. All right, 2012. The year is 2012, and 02:00:06.060 --> 02:00:09.479 the only two choices are I'm going to wreck it, 02:00:09.539 --> 02:00:14.520 and then we've got to assemble. So you've got 02:00:14.520 --> 02:00:17.239 to wreck it with Wreck -It Ralph, and then Avengers 02:00:17.239 --> 02:00:21.340 assemble. And the choice is Avengers. I love 02:00:21.340 --> 02:00:23.720 Wreck -It Ralph. I love Ralph Breaks the Internet. 02:00:23.939 --> 02:00:27.439 I love both those movies. But Avengers, man, 02:00:27.819 --> 02:00:33.720 that phase leading up to that movie. And that 02:00:33.720 --> 02:00:37.159 movie just, we talked about it in your choices. 02:00:37.800 --> 02:00:44.300 Yeah. That movie just hit every cylinder. It 02:00:44.300 --> 02:00:50.069 really did. Puny God. Again, best Hulk movie 02:00:50.069 --> 02:00:56.449 ever made. 2013, Two Guns with Denzel and Wahlberg, 02:00:56.590 --> 02:00:59.149 Washington and Wahlberg. We had that. I recently 02:00:59.149 --> 02:01:02.909 just saw. Actually, I've known about that movie 02:01:02.909 --> 02:01:06.369 since 2013, and I've always wanted to see it. 02:01:06.430 --> 02:01:11.189 I just bought it on 4K last year, and I finally 02:01:11.189 --> 02:01:14.909 saw it, and I was like, huh. This is really freaking 02:01:14.909 --> 02:01:19.369 cool. I kind of love this. They made a comic 02:01:19.369 --> 02:01:22.149 book follow -up. I haven't read it yet, but a 02:01:22.149 --> 02:01:25.189 very, very awesome movie. But the choice is Iron 02:01:25.189 --> 02:01:30.770 Man 3. Like I mentioned in your choices last 02:01:30.770 --> 02:01:36.529 episode, it just, it's like Lethal Weapon with 02:01:36.529 --> 02:01:40.409 superheroes. It really, really is. And it's because 02:01:40.409 --> 02:01:42.970 of Shane Black being there with the writing. 02:01:44.229 --> 02:01:46.649 Because half the time, Tony isn't in the suit. 02:01:46.789 --> 02:01:49.250 And the other thing is, Tony is going through 02:01:49.250 --> 02:01:52.470 psychological shit. He went through PTSD from 02:01:52.470 --> 02:01:55.750 the Avengers. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know. I love 02:01:55.750 --> 02:01:58.229 seeing, like, I don't want to always see Tony 02:01:58.229 --> 02:02:00.930 go through this, but because of that fallout 02:02:00.930 --> 02:02:04.710 from Avengers, I love that we're not just seeing 02:02:04.710 --> 02:02:09.220 Tony just. Oh, I'm going to go to work. I love 02:02:09.220 --> 02:02:12.020 seeing the Fallout and the this and the that 02:02:12.020 --> 02:02:14.859 and the whatever. I think that's awesome. Yeah, 02:02:14.859 --> 02:02:21.100 I do too. 2014. The runners -up are John Wick, 02:02:21.319 --> 02:02:23.340 because I didn't see it until way later, but 02:02:23.340 --> 02:02:25.760 I absolutely love that movie. You mean like how 02:02:25.760 --> 02:02:28.119 you saw Tron when it came out opening day? Yes, 02:02:28.119 --> 02:02:31.840 yes, yes. Funny, funny, funny guy. But I didn't 02:02:31.840 --> 02:02:34.779 know about it until literally I didn't really 02:02:34.779 --> 02:02:43.399 find out. So, okay. Context. 2013, 2014, up until 02:02:43.399 --> 02:02:48.119 2015, my mom was going through a bunch of health 02:02:48.119 --> 02:02:54.399 stuff. I get that completely. So, kinda wasn't 02:02:54.399 --> 02:03:00.600 really... I understand. I know you understand, 02:03:00.840 --> 02:03:04.380 but I'm just saying, just because I'm listing 02:03:04.380 --> 02:03:07.359 John Wick, And I will list John Wick Chapter 02:03:07.359 --> 02:03:12.100 2 in 2017. Just because I list them doesn't mean 02:03:12.100 --> 02:03:15.680 that I saw them. And that's one of the rules. 02:03:15.779 --> 02:03:17.720 Just because they came out in those years doesn't 02:03:17.720 --> 02:03:19.859 mean... Yeah, I did see John Wick when it came 02:03:19.859 --> 02:03:22.819 out. Yeah. I didn't even know... John Wick 2 02:03:22.819 --> 02:03:26.899 on video. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So I didn't find 02:03:26.899 --> 02:03:30.180 out about it until, like, I think... I forget 02:03:30.180 --> 02:03:33.100 when my buddy Mike Powers introduced me to it, 02:03:33.119 --> 02:03:36.979 but... Yeah, no, but John Wick, absolutely love 02:03:36.979 --> 02:03:39.159 that. And then Winter Soldier is an honorable 02:03:39.159 --> 02:03:43.479 mention. But for me, I don't know what it would 02:03:43.479 --> 02:03:46.300 have looked like. I don't know if this is what 02:03:46.300 --> 02:03:50.560 it would have... I don't know if what it ended 02:03:50.560 --> 02:03:53.119 up being is what I thought it was going to be, 02:03:53.260 --> 02:03:56.140 but I have been a fan of the Need for Speed video 02:03:56.140 --> 02:04:01.619 game franchise since the 90s. And in 2014... 02:04:02.890 --> 02:04:06.670 With Aaron Paul, they released a Need for Speed 02:04:06.670 --> 02:04:13.989 film, and it is my go -to, another film that 02:04:13.989 --> 02:04:18.130 I can watch anytime, anywhere, just will watch 02:04:18.130 --> 02:04:22.270 it at all hours, whenever. I just absolutely 02:04:22.270 --> 02:04:26.409 love it. It's a simple, just absolutely amazing, 02:04:26.869 --> 02:04:32.079 it's a, okay. It's a simple story, and that's 02:04:32.079 --> 02:04:36.060 why it's amazing. It's guy gets out of jail, 02:04:36.319 --> 02:04:40.439 guy gets this offer to do this thing to clear 02:04:40.439 --> 02:04:43.300 his name or do whatever or blah, blah, blah, 02:04:43.300 --> 02:04:46.779 blah, blah. Guy gets in trouble, has to do that. 02:04:47.500 --> 02:04:52.920 It's a movie that has a plot that doesn't make 02:04:52.920 --> 02:04:59.350 my brain cells feel like a fried egg. You know, 02:04:59.449 --> 02:05:02.890 like, I don't have to I don't have to feel like 02:05:02.890 --> 02:05:06.069 I'm being exceptionalized here. Like, I don't 02:05:06.069 --> 02:05:09.229 have to feel like I need to understand 70 million 02:05:09.229 --> 02:05:13.270 different aspects of it. And the music in it 02:05:13.270 --> 02:05:16.770 is so great. Nathan First was the composer behind 02:05:16.770 --> 02:05:21.329 the score of it. And just, yeah, I love Need 02:05:21.329 --> 02:05:24.130 for Speed. Just absolutely have loved that movie 02:05:24.130 --> 02:05:28.000 ever since 2014. So that's the pick. And then, 02:05:28.039 --> 02:05:32.579 I believe, let me make sure I have this right. 02:05:32.779 --> 02:05:35.359 We've got two honorable mentions. We've got Avengers 02:05:35.359 --> 02:05:39.600 2 Age of Ultron and Mission Impossible 5. So 02:05:39.600 --> 02:05:43.220 Avengers 2, I liked it. I thought it was good. 02:05:43.460 --> 02:05:47.180 I think the funniest thing about Age of Ultron 02:05:47.180 --> 02:05:49.539 that I think is really cool is I think the greatest 02:05:49.539 --> 02:05:55.300 thing that came out of that movie was all these 02:05:55.300 --> 02:06:00.109 strings. James Spader doing the string song thing. 02:06:01.489 --> 02:06:07.250 That was just separate from the movie. I liked 02:06:07.250 --> 02:06:11.869 Age of Ultron. It was good, but it wasn't like, 02:06:11.989 --> 02:06:19.550 oh my god, I had to pick it. The other thing 02:06:19.550 --> 02:06:22.050 I will say is that Mission Impossible Rogue Nation 02:06:22.050 --> 02:06:25.770 came out that year. I actually got to interview 02:06:25.770 --> 02:06:30.369 the composer Joe Kramer for that movie. And I 02:06:30.369 --> 02:06:33.270 absolutely love Rogue Nation because that sets 02:06:33.270 --> 02:06:37.569 up Rogue Nation into Fallout. And then obviously 02:06:37.569 --> 02:06:39.970 we have Dead Reckoning and then the final Reckoning 02:06:39.970 --> 02:06:45.710 coming up in media release. But in April of that 02:06:45.710 --> 02:06:50.609 year, Furious 7 was released. And Wiz Khalifa 02:06:50.609 --> 02:06:57.119 and Charlie Puth put out... See you again. And 02:06:57.119 --> 02:07:01.220 at that time, my mom was in the hospital. She 02:07:01.220 --> 02:07:07.359 was not doing well. May 18th of that year, mom 02:07:07.359 --> 02:07:11.399 would pass. So when that song came out and that 02:07:11.399 --> 02:07:15.399 movie came out, that was the last movie that 02:07:15.399 --> 02:07:19.590 Paul Walker was actually in. And they actually 02:07:19.590 --> 02:07:22.329 had to digitize around him with his brothers 02:07:22.329 --> 02:07:26.989 in some of the scenes in Furious 7. Because he 02:07:26.989 --> 02:07:30.890 had already passed. Just the way Furious 7 ends, 02:07:30.970 --> 02:07:35.229 I was like, okay, this is a good ending to Brian 02:07:35.229 --> 02:07:38.789 O 'Connor's story in the Furious franchise. We're 02:07:38.789 --> 02:07:42.789 good, we don't need another one, whatever. And 02:07:42.789 --> 02:07:44.970 then the See You Again song comes out and it 02:07:44.970 --> 02:07:47.869 just hits you. And ever since then, I'm just 02:07:47.869 --> 02:07:51.170 like, oh, my God. It's like my mom dies. This 02:07:51.170 --> 02:07:53.670 guy dies. I don't even know. But I've loved a 02:07:53.670 --> 02:07:56.449 lot of his work that he's done in the past. I've 02:07:56.449 --> 02:07:59.130 loved his character in these movies. And, yeah, 02:07:59.210 --> 02:08:05.409 so Furious 7 is the 2015 pick. This time it ain't 02:08:05.409 --> 02:08:12.689 just about being fast. Can somebody just walk 02:08:12.689 --> 02:08:17.380 me through what we're supposed to be doing? Yo, 02:08:17.380 --> 02:08:20.399 Roman, you need some fresh air? All right, 2016. 02:08:20.880 --> 02:08:25.739 2016 was rough. Like, I was trying to find something 02:08:25.739 --> 02:08:28.760 other than what I ended up picking. Because I 02:08:28.760 --> 02:08:32.039 was trying not to be just, hey, I'm going to 02:08:32.039 --> 02:08:36.859 pick this because, you know, this is all we have 02:08:36.859 --> 02:08:41.600 to pick. Because this is all we have now. And 02:08:41.600 --> 02:08:45.060 I couldn't find anything. And it's not that I 02:08:45.060 --> 02:08:47.609 don't like this film. It's not that I actually 02:08:47.609 --> 02:08:50.310 don't love this film. It's not that I don't actually... 02:08:50.310 --> 02:08:53.789 It's not that I didn't actually love everybody 02:08:53.789 --> 02:08:57.590 going forward and making their choices of, well, 02:08:57.609 --> 02:08:59.510 whose side are you going to choose? Whose side 02:08:59.510 --> 02:09:01.930 are you going to choose? What team are you going 02:09:01.930 --> 02:09:07.210 to be on? But I was really... Literally, I looked 02:09:07.210 --> 02:09:11.619 through the 2016 film list three times. To see 02:09:11.619 --> 02:09:14.500 if there were any other films in 2016 that I 02:09:14.500 --> 02:09:18.000 could pick other than Civil War. But at the end 02:09:18.000 --> 02:09:22.319 of the day, I had to pick Civil War because damn 02:09:22.319 --> 02:09:28.140 if Civil War isn't just... The funny thing is, 02:09:28.319 --> 02:09:34.920 I stopped and I re -watched like four clips on 02:09:34.920 --> 02:09:39.420 YouTube from Civil War. And I'm like, yeah, that's 02:09:39.420 --> 02:09:42.130 the pick. Because you got everybody doing their 02:09:42.130 --> 02:09:45.149 thing. I don't even care about the debut of Spider 02:09:45.149 --> 02:09:47.409 -Man. I mean, that's fine. That's great. That's 02:09:47.409 --> 02:09:51.729 awesome. Yo, Underoos! Whatever. Fine. Great. 02:09:51.829 --> 02:09:54.750 That's cool. But in this, again, we've mentioned 02:09:54.750 --> 02:09:57.890 already about Tony's healing and his trauma and 02:09:57.890 --> 02:10:03.310 everything else. You've got him going back. Like, 02:10:03.329 --> 02:10:07.579 you know. I think one of the big themes of the 02:10:07.579 --> 02:10:15.300 film is that both Tony and Cap, they're both 02:10:15.300 --> 02:10:18.699 in a period where their women are gone. Tony 02:10:18.699 --> 02:10:25.039 and Pepper have broken up, and Cap and Peggy. 02:10:25.840 --> 02:10:28.680 So they're both in this weird single thing, and 02:10:28.680 --> 02:10:31.500 it devolves into this huge pissing contest between 02:10:31.500 --> 02:10:35.380 them. Not only Spider -Man, but you also get 02:10:35.380 --> 02:10:37.979 the premiere of a Black Panther. Yeah, that's 02:10:37.979 --> 02:10:42.039 true. It is weird. It's amazing because it's 02:10:42.039 --> 02:10:44.079 both an Avengers film, but it is still a Captain 02:10:44.079 --> 02:10:46.680 America film. Yes, it's very much a Captain America 02:10:46.680 --> 02:10:53.079 film. It's very well done. Believe me, if Rogue 02:10:53.079 --> 02:10:54.779 One hadn't come out that year, it would have 02:10:54.779 --> 02:11:00.550 been an easy win for Civil War. Yeah. Like, Star 02:11:00.550 --> 02:11:03.090 Wars is my thing. I get that. I know. I know. 02:11:03.210 --> 02:11:09.489 I appreciate that. And, you know, when we get 02:11:09.489 --> 02:11:15.750 to the TV side of this thing, maybe... Anyway. 02:11:19.250 --> 02:11:22.750 2017. There are two choices. John Wick Chapter 02:11:22.750 --> 02:11:26.630 2 and Fate of the Furious. Like I just said a 02:11:26.630 --> 02:11:28.789 couple moments ago, I think they could have just 02:11:28.789 --> 02:11:32.689 ended at 7, but I know that Vin has this thing 02:11:32.689 --> 02:11:35.090 where, oh, I want it to go to 10, or I want it 02:11:35.090 --> 02:11:37.430 to go to 11, or we have this whole big plan, 02:11:37.590 --> 02:11:43.970 and blah, blah, whatever. I picked John Wick 02:11:43.970 --> 02:11:49.189 Chapter 2 because John Wick Chapter 2 basically 02:11:49.189 --> 02:11:56.400 picks right up after John Wick Chapter 1. and 02:11:56.400 --> 02:12:01.800 it just ramps everything up. And it has one of 02:12:01.800 --> 02:12:05.680 my most, like literally if I, I don't have it 02:12:05.680 --> 02:12:08.300 as a ringtone, but if I did put it as a ringtone, 02:12:08.420 --> 02:12:10.420 people like, not that anybody calls me cause 02:12:10.420 --> 02:12:14.399 nobody calls anybody anymore, but there's a theme 02:12:14.399 --> 02:12:17.060 in here. There's a music tone in this. I think 02:12:17.060 --> 02:12:18.840 it's in one of the club scenes, but it's called 02:12:18.840 --> 02:12:23.079 John Wick mode. And I play that tune when I need 02:12:23.079 --> 02:12:26.510 to, get up and face the day or what it just for 02:12:26.510 --> 02:12:31.149 inspiration. And it's like, Oh man, I just, I 02:12:31.149 --> 02:12:33.869 absolutely love that movie. I love the character 02:12:33.869 --> 02:12:37.829 that Keanu Reeves is playing with this. And I, 02:12:37.850 --> 02:12:45.430 I miss, um, what's his name? Oh, the, his, yes. 02:12:47.109 --> 02:12:56.220 Yeah. Um, No, not Winston. He just passed away. 02:12:56.899 --> 02:12:59.840 God damn it. What's the character's name? The 02:12:59.840 --> 02:13:08.000 black guy. I'm so sorry. Lance Riddick. Thank 02:13:08.000 --> 02:13:11.479 you, Lance Riddick. This character worked at 02:13:11.479 --> 02:13:15.239 the Continental. Yeah, he was the concierge. 02:13:15.560 --> 02:13:20.880 Yeah. That's what it is. I absolutely love his 02:13:20.880 --> 02:13:25.399 character and just... Yeah, no. And John Wick 02:13:25.399 --> 02:13:32.119 Chapter 2 just... It ramped it up. And... Just... 02:13:32.119 --> 02:13:36.539 From the Rome scene to the New York City subway 02:13:36.539 --> 02:13:46.000 to... Just all of it. Just all of it. Those movies 02:13:46.000 --> 02:13:50.340 are just so... so fun. So yeah, John Wick Chapter 02:13:50.340 --> 02:13:56.680 2. 2018, there's only one option. MI6, Fallout. 02:13:58.460 --> 02:14:01.460 Again, it's Tom Cruise, it's Ethan Hunt, Mission 02:14:01.460 --> 02:14:05.560 Impossible because it's his impossible mission 02:14:05.560 --> 02:14:09.079 force. It's the IMF. And it's the second half 02:14:09.079 --> 02:14:12.619 of the Solomon Lane story with the villain of 02:14:12.619 --> 02:14:16.640 that. So that is very, very cool, the conclusion 02:14:16.640 --> 02:14:20.060 part of that. I absolutely love that. 2019 is 02:14:20.060 --> 02:14:22.739 kind of where it gets, well, a little hairy. 02:14:23.220 --> 02:14:28.579 Not so many selections, but I did want to kind 02:14:28.579 --> 02:14:33.699 of misquote something here. And it's a superhero 02:14:33.699 --> 02:14:40.159 sci -fi fantasy space battle crossover. Avengers 02:14:40.159 --> 02:14:43.609 Endgame. So this is how the universe ends with 02:14:43.609 --> 02:14:52.449 deafening silence. I did not choose Avengers 02:14:52.449 --> 02:14:56.390 Endgame. I chose a Michael Bay film. A Netflix 02:14:56.390 --> 02:15:00.850 exclusive! Because it was the first film in a 02:15:00.850 --> 02:15:03.289 long time of Ryan Reynolds that I was like, ooh, 02:15:03.369 --> 02:15:07.659 I must pay attention to this in 2019. six underground 02:15:07.659 --> 02:15:09.960 not a lot of people know about six underground 02:15:09.960 --> 02:15:13.500 have you ever seen six underground i haven't 02:15:13.500 --> 02:15:17.819 seen like half the films on your list dude didn't 02:15:17.819 --> 02:15:21.579 think so welcome to act five six underground 02:15:21.579 --> 02:15:28.520 is netflix original film ryan reynolds a bunch 02:15:28.520 --> 02:15:30.279 of other people that i don't even know off the 02:15:30.279 --> 02:15:32.020 top of my head without looking at the article 02:15:32.020 --> 02:15:37.930 on wikipedia He plays this billionaire spook 02:15:37.930 --> 02:15:40.909 kind of guy who puts this team together, who 02:15:40.909 --> 02:15:47.050 does this spy stuff kind of thing. And they all 02:15:47.050 --> 02:15:50.729 go by numbers. So it's not personal. It's supposed 02:15:50.729 --> 02:15:55.529 to just be, you know, spooky and whatever. And 02:15:55.529 --> 02:15:57.869 they're all ghosts and everything else. They're 02:15:57.869 --> 02:16:01.409 all off the grid because they're all quote unquote 02:16:01.409 --> 02:16:05.220 dead. And they just. do this mission to save 02:16:05.220 --> 02:16:08.680 this guy and to put him in power because his 02:16:08.680 --> 02:16:13.960 brother is corrupt. It's a movie that I saw a 02:16:13.960 --> 02:16:17.239 trailer for and I liked the music in the trailer 02:16:17.239 --> 02:16:20.579 and then I read the synopsis of it and I'm like, 02:16:20.659 --> 02:16:22.800 oh, cool. And then I watched the trailer again 02:16:22.800 --> 02:16:25.220 and I was like, oh, cool. And I've seen it like 02:16:25.220 --> 02:16:28.720 a billion times since then. It's just, I don't 02:16:28.720 --> 02:16:30.699 know what it is about the movie. I just really 02:16:30.699 --> 02:16:37.040 dig it. 2020. Um, 2020, holy crap. So a buddy 02:16:37.040 --> 02:16:41.379 of mine from high school, Quentin Lester, writes 02:16:41.379 --> 02:16:45.280 for this website called Bite Size Breakdown. 02:16:45.459 --> 02:16:48.280 They used to just do this on Facebook and Instagram 02:16:48.280 --> 02:16:50.399 and other places, but they actually have their 02:16:50.399 --> 02:16:52.940 own website now. And I'll link that in the show 02:16:52.940 --> 02:16:57.969 notes. And they do these little, literally little 02:16:57.969 --> 02:17:01.930 bite -sized micro reviews, written reviews, and 02:17:01.930 --> 02:17:03.950 they do them up as images and they give their 02:17:03.950 --> 02:17:06.129 little ratings and whatever kind of thing. And 02:17:06.129 --> 02:17:08.989 they do movies, TV shows, all kinds of stuff. 02:17:09.790 --> 02:17:12.909 And one of the things they did back in 2020, 02:17:13.170 --> 02:17:16.389 or maybe it was 2019, I forget, was for a film 02:17:16.389 --> 02:17:19.450 called Guns Akimbo. Have you ever heard of this 02:17:19.450 --> 02:17:23.799 movie? I've heard of it, yeah. Okay. It stars 02:17:23.799 --> 02:17:28.500 Mr. Potter! First film I've ever seen Daniel 02:17:28.500 --> 02:17:31.760 Radcliffe in. Ever. Because I'm not a Harry Potter 02:17:31.760 --> 02:17:39.020 person. So yeah, that's the runner -up for this. 02:17:39.200 --> 02:17:42.139 But yeah, I wanted to mention that because Guns 02:17:42.139 --> 02:17:45.159 Akimbo is basically... What if you had guns for 02:17:45.159 --> 02:17:47.360 hands and you had to run around shooting people? 02:17:48.639 --> 02:17:52.260 It's kind of like a video game. It was a fun 02:17:52.260 --> 02:17:54.500 film. I really dug it. I love the soundtrack 02:17:54.500 --> 02:17:57.059 to it. It was, it was really fun, but the winner 02:17:57.059 --> 02:18:02.040 for 2020. And honestly, because it was 2020, 02:18:02.200 --> 02:18:05.700 obviously, and we were all at home and everything 02:18:05.700 --> 02:18:10.420 was closed. Like I know there's choices, but 02:18:10.420 --> 02:18:15.459 this film luckily was released January 17th, 02:18:15.459 --> 02:18:18.319 2020 before everything shut down. I did get to 02:18:18.319 --> 02:18:24.579 see it in theaters, but. Bad Boys for Life. Will 02:18:24.579 --> 02:18:27.399 Smith, Martin Lawrence, all that stuff. The fourth 02:18:27.399 --> 02:18:33.600 Bad Boys movie. Joey Pantoliano. Just absolutely 02:18:33.600 --> 02:18:41.520 so fun, so good. Absolutely love it. 2021 was 02:18:41.520 --> 02:18:47.600 a toss -up between F9, which is the Fast Saga. 02:18:48.379 --> 02:18:52.180 Or another Netflix movie which I had never heard 02:18:52.180 --> 02:18:54.659 of. I don't even know how. I think it's because 02:18:54.659 --> 02:18:57.680 I'm subscribed to Netflix on YouTube and I see 02:18:57.680 --> 02:18:59.799 when they release trailers and stuff from whatever's 02:18:59.799 --> 02:19:03.659 coming up on their service. There's a movie called 02:19:03.659 --> 02:19:10.200 Gunpowder Milkshake. And yeah, Gunpowder Milkshake 02:19:10.200 --> 02:19:14.559 was starring... It's an action thriller film 02:19:14.559 --> 02:19:27.930 that... is basically about it's about these assassins 02:19:27.930 --> 02:19:34.450 that have to it's an assassin for hire film and 02:19:34.450 --> 02:19:38.010 the one assassin is trying to get her life back 02:19:38.010 --> 02:19:41.409 and that kind of stuff it stars Karen Gillian 02:19:41.409 --> 02:19:50.920 it stars Lena Headey it stars Carla Gugino? Sorry 02:19:50.920 --> 02:19:54.579 if I mispronounced that. Yeah, but I know who 02:19:54.579 --> 02:19:56.020 you're talking about. She was in Hot Shots, I 02:19:56.020 --> 02:20:03.079 believe. Oh, was she? Cool. Stars Michelle Yeoh, 02:20:03.319 --> 02:20:07.680 Angela Bassett, Paul Giamatti is in it as Nathan, 02:20:07.860 --> 02:20:11.440 who is the head of the HR department for the 02:20:11.440 --> 02:20:16.149 firm. But it's a nice little, I don't know, again, 02:20:16.469 --> 02:20:20.129 it was something where it was 2021, we were all 02:20:20.129 --> 02:20:22.950 still pretty much at home. I saw the trailer 02:20:22.950 --> 02:20:25.209 and I was like, ooh, Gunpowder Milkshake, that's 02:20:25.209 --> 02:20:30.430 a cool title. Hmm, I wonder what that is. 2022 02:20:30.430 --> 02:20:35.149 is another Sean Levy project with The Atom Project. 02:20:35.229 --> 02:20:37.770 This is a Ryan Reynolds vehicle. This is Ryan 02:20:37.770 --> 02:20:41.790 Reynolds and Jennifer Garner. This is actually 02:20:41.790 --> 02:20:44.770 it's it's basically Deadpool meets the Hulk. 02:20:45.629 --> 02:20:52.110 Actually, it's the Hulk is Deadpool's dad. Oh, 02:20:52.250 --> 02:21:00.889 the Adam Project is Ryan Reynolds as Adam. Mark 02:21:00.889 --> 02:21:07.409 Ruffalo plays his dad and he. Is this pilot who 02:21:07.409 --> 02:21:11.329 has to go back and forth in time and it's a time 02:21:11.329 --> 02:21:13.569 travel thing? I think you would like it. I really 02:21:13.569 --> 02:21:16.430 do think you would like it. And it's this whole 02:21:16.430 --> 02:21:23.389 thing of him trying to make sure that the partner 02:21:23.389 --> 02:21:27.430 of his dad's doesn't get away with doing bad 02:21:27.430 --> 02:21:31.569 stuff for the company that they own kind of thing. 02:21:32.250 --> 02:21:36.530 And yeah, it also has Zoe Saldana in there. So 02:21:36.530 --> 02:21:40.069 very, very awesome, fun family film. And then 02:21:40.069 --> 02:21:47.489 2023, It's -A -Me, Mario! It's the only choice. 02:21:50.370 --> 02:21:55.049 We've been waiting almost 40 years for an animated 02:21:55.049 --> 02:21:57.829 Mario movie. We had the animated Mario cartoons 02:21:57.829 --> 02:22:02.840 back in the 80s and 90s, but... We've been waiting 02:22:02.840 --> 02:22:08.280 almost 40 years for a Mario movie. And as much 02:22:08.280 --> 02:22:11.360 as I wish it was Charles Martinet as the voice, 02:22:11.459 --> 02:22:18.600 Chris Pratt did okay as the voice of Mario. The 02:22:18.600 --> 02:22:22.379 only time I'm not a fan of Chris Pratt is the 02:22:22.379 --> 02:22:24.479 Star -Lord character, because I just think that 02:22:24.479 --> 02:22:27.579 character is too overblown. I get that's the 02:22:27.579 --> 02:22:30.600 point of the character, but Super Mario Bros. 02:22:30.799 --> 02:22:35.549 the movie, Perfect. I just absolutely loved it. 02:22:35.610 --> 02:22:41.969 It was so fun. And then 2024. Honorable mentions 02:22:41.969 --> 02:22:45.629 to Deadpool and Wolverine. Honorable mention 02:22:45.629 --> 02:22:49.329 to Sonic 3 because hello, Shadow. And again, 02:22:49.590 --> 02:22:53.870 John Wick. Keanu Reeves as Shadow. Hilarious. 02:22:53.870 --> 02:22:56.729 Absolutely love it. Not hilarious, but very awesome. 02:22:58.179 --> 02:23:02.739 But the choice for 2024 can only go to, Achwell, 02:23:02.920 --> 02:23:06.000 you're back! Can only go to Axel Foley, Beverly 02:23:06.000 --> 02:23:12.120 Hills Cop 4. Because nobody ever, like, you don't 02:23:12.120 --> 02:23:15.819 understand. Steve and I have been thinking, predicting, 02:23:15.959 --> 02:23:18.739 every time they come up with a rumor, we've been 02:23:18.739 --> 02:23:23.260 denying it. For 16 and a half years that the 02:23:23.260 --> 02:23:26.200 Geekcast Radio Network has been online, every 02:23:26.200 --> 02:23:28.860 time they come up with a Beverly Hills Cop 4 02:23:28.860 --> 02:23:31.959 rumor, we have been shooting it down saying it'll 02:23:31.959 --> 02:23:35.579 never happen. Because we knew that Eddie Murphy 02:23:35.579 --> 02:23:39.620 was never going to do it. Because every time 02:23:39.620 --> 02:23:42.040 that stuff would come up for Beverly Hills Cop 02:23:42.040 --> 02:23:45.100 4, it was either the story isn't right or this 02:23:45.100 --> 02:23:47.219 isn't right or Eddie doesn't want to do it or 02:23:47.219 --> 02:23:51.139 this or that or whatever. They finally did it. 02:23:51.180 --> 02:23:54.280 It was an awesome movie. It was a damn good story. 02:23:54.540 --> 02:23:59.860 It was emotional. It had action. The music done 02:23:59.860 --> 02:24:03.659 by Lorne Balfe was amazing in it for the score. 02:24:04.840 --> 02:24:10.260 And it worked. And I know they're thinking of 02:24:10.260 --> 02:24:12.180 doing a fifth one. I hope they don't because 02:24:12.180 --> 02:24:14.379 I don't think they need to. But in case they 02:24:14.379 --> 02:24:18.139 do end up doing a fifth movie, okay, sure, fine. 02:24:18.920 --> 02:24:23.819 But yeah, those are my choices. Okay, I was going 02:24:23.819 --> 02:24:26.579 to say, I think I put them to sleep, folks. No, 02:24:26.579 --> 02:24:32.360 I was following you. I was kind of following 02:24:32.360 --> 02:24:37.440 along and keeping track. And I think we had two 02:24:37.440 --> 02:24:43.639 films in common. And out of 24 films, I've only 02:24:43.639 --> 02:24:48.149 seen, I think, out of 44 films. Oh, how old are 02:24:48.149 --> 02:24:52.530 you? 45. Okay, so 44, because you're not doing 02:24:52.530 --> 02:24:56.190 this year. Yeah, we can't do this year yet. I 02:24:56.190 --> 02:25:01.729 mean, you could, you know, be morally wrong. 02:25:02.350 --> 02:25:07.750 Yes. I have seen 19 of the films that you mentioned. 02:25:09.090 --> 02:25:13.129 That's not bad. About half. Less than half. Not 02:25:13.129 --> 02:25:17.370 bad, though. That's not bad at all. So, any other, 02:25:17.409 --> 02:25:20.370 anything you want to say before I take us to 02:25:20.370 --> 02:25:24.590 a quick ad break? No, I mean, I tried to be a 02:25:24.590 --> 02:25:27.649 good boy. There were a couple of choices that 02:25:27.649 --> 02:25:30.829 I may have had issues with, but you know. Okay, 02:25:30.850 --> 02:25:32.790 what are your issues? At the end of the day, 02:25:32.950 --> 02:25:34.229 it's your, no, but at the end of the day, it's 02:25:34.229 --> 02:25:39.530 your list. Right, but I'm curious. Yeah. You 02:25:39.530 --> 02:25:41.889 didn't pick Cars 2, but just mentioning it on 02:25:41.889 --> 02:25:45.030 any list of favorite anything. I was like, wow. 02:25:46.250 --> 02:25:48.709 I'm not a big fan of the Fast and the Furious 02:25:48.709 --> 02:25:50.649 movies. I was like, is he going to pick the one 02:25:50.649 --> 02:25:54.110 where they drive a car in space? No, because 02:25:54.110 --> 02:25:59.850 I haven't seen it yet. Okay. Anything with Michael 02:25:59.850 --> 02:26:01.250 Bay, there was one you said that Michael Bay 02:26:01.250 --> 02:26:03.450 did on Netflix. I'm like, oh, you lost me at 02:26:03.450 --> 02:26:08.329 Michael Bay. Six Underground. The first live 02:26:08.329 --> 02:26:11.969 -action Transformers is watchable. But I don't 02:26:11.969 --> 02:26:14.229 like the designs. Yeah, they got Peter Cullen 02:26:14.229 --> 02:26:17.170 back so that our beloved childhood Optimus Prime 02:26:17.170 --> 02:26:19.969 could rip people's faces off in the second movie. 02:26:21.610 --> 02:26:24.350 I'm not even a Transformers guy, and that was 02:26:24.350 --> 02:26:26.750 offensive to me. It's like, freedom is the right 02:26:26.750 --> 02:26:29.250 of all sentient beings. Now obey me or I'll fucking 02:26:29.250 --> 02:26:33.489 murder you. That was the fourth one, but in the 02:26:33.489 --> 02:26:34.850 second one he was ripping people's faces off. 02:26:35.010 --> 02:26:38.649 It's just like, eh. Like I said, you know, you're... 02:26:39.209 --> 02:26:45.870 Your choices are your choices. That's the whole 02:26:45.870 --> 02:26:51.370 point. It is. It's the whole point. I'm sure 02:26:51.370 --> 02:26:54.110 there were some of my choices that you hadn't 02:26:54.110 --> 02:26:59.430 heard of or didn't agree with. You were offended 02:26:59.430 --> 02:27:04.129 that I didn't pick Trading Places. I wasn't offended. 02:27:04.670 --> 02:27:06.229 You were like, I can't believe you didn't pick. 02:27:06.780 --> 02:27:08.280 I can't believe you didn't pick this one comedy 02:27:08.280 --> 02:27:10.959 instead of the third Star Wars movie. It's like, 02:27:11.040 --> 02:27:14.459 dude, do you know me at all? Oh, I knew you were 02:27:14.459 --> 02:27:19.139 going to pick Revenge of the Jedi. Return of 02:27:19.139 --> 02:27:21.540 the Jedi. Revenge of the Jedi. Jedi don't seek 02:27:21.540 --> 02:27:24.340 revenge. Yes, they do. That's what makes my poster 02:27:24.340 --> 02:27:25.879 valuable. That's what makes my poster valuable 02:27:25.879 --> 02:27:30.680 is they changed it. Shut up. My G .I. Joe poster 02:27:30.680 --> 02:27:34.540 with the wrong date on it. Supergirl, I was like... 02:27:37.610 --> 02:27:43.389 That movie is a hidden gem. If you say so. I 02:27:43.389 --> 02:27:45.069 didn't really push on that one because I've never 02:27:45.069 --> 02:27:48.489 seen it. Well, you should watch it sometime. 02:27:49.129 --> 02:27:52.229 I've never heard anything good about it. Except 02:27:52.229 --> 02:27:56.969 from you. Okay, so... And there's a reason they 02:27:56.969 --> 02:28:01.350 didn't do Supergirl 2. Well, but again, it didn't 02:28:01.350 --> 02:28:04.370 really need it. Again, that's from an era where 02:28:04.370 --> 02:28:09.290 you don't always need a sequel. They had four 02:28:09.290 --> 02:28:12.690 Christopher Reeve Supermans. Do you really think 02:28:12.690 --> 02:28:14.030 if that movie had made money, they wouldn't have 02:28:14.030 --> 02:28:17.709 made a sequel? I don't know. But I don't know. 02:28:19.170 --> 02:28:21.850 I just think Hollywood has changed over the years, 02:28:21.989 --> 02:28:24.649 especially with the internet. They were doing 02:28:24.649 --> 02:28:27.209 franchises back in the 30s with the monster movies. 02:28:27.979 --> 02:28:30.440 Yeah, I know. Everyone pretends like, oh, all 02:28:30.440 --> 02:28:32.360 these remakes and all these blah, blah, blah, 02:28:32.420 --> 02:28:34.440 and all these sequels. It's a new thing. It's 02:28:34.440 --> 02:28:37.600 terrible. No, I know it's not a new thing. Yeah. 02:28:38.440 --> 02:28:41.299 I know it's not a new thing. I'm just saying 02:28:41.299 --> 02:28:48.579 that there were some, even when they did make 02:28:48.579 --> 02:28:51.479 more than like when they actually made money, 02:28:51.579 --> 02:28:53.899 not just make their budget back when they were 02:28:53.899 --> 02:28:57.129 actually successful, that they didn't. they still 02:28:57.129 --> 02:29:00.670 didn't make a sequel. Like the, they're just 02:29:00.670 --> 02:29:03.350 rare. Plenty of movies that did. Yeah. But like, 02:29:03.450 --> 02:29:08.610 I don't know. It's just one of those things. 02:29:08.690 --> 02:29:11.670 Anyway, folks, we're going to do a quick podcast 02:29:11.670 --> 02:29:14.030 ad break.

Trying to make our 02:31:21.940 --> 02:31:24.440 spots sound more exciting by adding explosions. 02:31:25.059 --> 02:31:26.399 Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could have got the 02:31:26.399 --> 02:31:28.399 point across with sound effects, not the real 02:31:28.399 --> 02:31:33.729 thing.

No, they probably 02:31:39.209 --> 02:31:42.629 won't. All right, folks, we are back here inside 02:31:42.629 --> 02:31:45.909 Studio 2009, only on the Geekcast Radio Network. 02:31:47.430 --> 02:31:52.209 All right, folks, that's it for now for the Media 02:31:52.209 --> 02:31:55.530 Mayhem. The Media Mayhem will continue here in 02:31:55.530 --> 02:31:59.610 the future inside Studio 2009. I will be getting 02:31:59.610 --> 02:32:02.770 stories from plenty of other people. I've got 02:32:02.770 --> 02:32:05.110 at least two or three other people that have 02:32:05.110 --> 02:32:07.569 already expressed interest that want to come 02:32:07.569 --> 02:32:09.909 on and talk about movies. Dave and I will return, 02:32:10.149 --> 02:32:13.969 and we will be doing our TV series lists. So 02:32:13.969 --> 02:32:17.049 get to working on that, sir.

Uh, any, anything you'd 02:32:27.930 --> 02:32:30.969 like to say, uh, before I run through the closing? 02:32:32.110 --> 02:32:34.270 Oh, I just think it's an interesting little exercise. 02:32:34.530 --> 02:32:39.950 Um, absolutely. It's fun. Yeah. Um, part of me 02:32:39.950 --> 02:32:42.149 kind of feels like some of my choices were like, 02:32:42.170 --> 02:32:45.069 like I, in retrospect, I feel like something 02:32:45.069 --> 02:32:47.409 like it's, it's weird. Like what's interesting 02:32:47.409 --> 02:32:49.969 for me is like a lot of my choices, particularly 02:32:49.969 --> 02:32:52.829 later down, down the list were very like, uh, 02:32:53.539 --> 02:32:57.219 popular ones, you know what I mean? But is that 02:32:57.219 --> 02:32:59.760 because I was following trends? It's weird that 02:32:59.760 --> 02:33:03.340 as a guy who grew up in the 70s and 80s, who 02:33:03.340 --> 02:33:05.680 was into nerd stuff, it was both interesting 02:33:05.680 --> 02:33:08.799 and gratifying that that stuff kind of overtook 02:33:08.799 --> 02:33:12.440 the culture. That we did have an Avengers movie. 02:33:13.059 --> 02:33:17.479 That kind of thing. The nerd stuff, that we did 02:33:17.479 --> 02:33:19.620 have a really well done Lord of the Rings trilogy, 02:33:19.979 --> 02:33:22.559 which was... I mean, I haven't really seen any 02:33:22.559 --> 02:33:24.819 of the Dune films, but it's weird that that got 02:33:24.819 --> 02:33:27.020 made. Because all these films were considered 02:33:27.020 --> 02:33:30.860 unfilmable, but nerd culture is such a thing 02:33:30.860 --> 02:33:34.239 now that we get these things that we know. And 02:33:34.239 --> 02:33:36.700 then the technology is also there. Because as 02:33:36.700 --> 02:33:38.719 we were talking about with Spider -Man, it's 02:33:38.719 --> 02:33:40.219 really good for its time. It's really amazing 02:33:40.219 --> 02:33:44.280 for its time. It's a little... Yeah, it's just 02:33:44.280 --> 02:33:48.079 interesting to watch how movies changed. I also 02:33:48.079 --> 02:33:50.750 feel a little... Part of me is like, oh, it's 02:33:50.750 --> 02:33:52.170 so great that they're making all these movies 02:33:52.170 --> 02:33:54.329 that, you know, they're making like Superman 02:33:54.329 --> 02:33:58.049 and Jurassic Park and Fantastic Four. At the 02:33:58.049 --> 02:33:59.409 same time, like, you know, I've mentioned my 02:33:59.409 --> 02:34:01.690 mother a couple times. I'm always like, there 02:34:01.690 --> 02:34:03.549 really isn't much out there these days for her, 02:34:03.690 --> 02:34:05.389 even though she passed away. But like, you know, 02:34:05.389 --> 02:34:08.229 I do feel a little bad that we've kind of like 02:34:08.229 --> 02:34:12.350 taken over the cineplex. Although now the way 02:34:12.350 --> 02:34:16.620 that the industry is. I think nerd stuff, big 02:34:16.620 --> 02:34:18.459 budget blockbuster stuff is the only thing that's 02:34:18.459 --> 02:34:21.920 going to be viable in movie theaters. But they 02:34:21.920 --> 02:34:23.780 now have Netflix stuff, and they have Netflix 02:34:23.780 --> 02:34:26.940 and all the streaming stuff for the smaller movies 02:34:26.940 --> 02:34:32.079 about people talking and doing stuff and not 02:34:32.079 --> 02:34:34.200 fighting dinosaurs, whatever that garbage is. 02:34:34.440 --> 02:34:37.120 Well, that's why I mentioned stuff like Before 02:34:37.120 --> 02:34:39.959 Sunrise and Before Sunset. That's why I mentioned 02:34:39.959 --> 02:34:43.850 stuff like... Okay, Gunpowder Milkshake probably 02:34:43.850 --> 02:34:45.790 isn't something your mom would watch because 02:34:45.790 --> 02:34:51.229 it's a spy action. But my point is... I don't 02:34:51.229 --> 02:34:56.090 think... Of this list, I think maybe... That's 02:34:56.090 --> 02:34:59.190 what made Iron Man so special. That's what made 02:34:59.190 --> 02:35:02.209 the first X -Men so special. The rare movies 02:35:02.209 --> 02:35:06.010 that she wanted to watch, too. Right. No, absolutely. 02:35:06.170 --> 02:35:09.370 The rare movies that I liked. Like I said, she 02:35:09.370 --> 02:35:12.520 loved stuff like... Ferris Bueller and Footloose. 02:35:12.540 --> 02:35:14.559 I think she probably would have liked Tetris. 02:35:14.659 --> 02:35:17.459 I was going to say, Tetris is a neat little below 02:35:17.459 --> 02:35:20.879 -the -radar thing about this dumb little game 02:35:20.879 --> 02:35:23.579 that I play all the time. And it's fascinating 02:35:23.579 --> 02:35:29.840 stuff. It's interesting to watch the way the 02:35:29.840 --> 02:35:33.180 movie... And because I'm so fucking old, I can 02:35:33.180 --> 02:35:37.180 start in the 70s with... And even though I didn't 02:35:37.180 --> 02:35:39.260 necessarily pick them, stuff like French Connection 02:35:39.260 --> 02:35:43.559 and Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter, very grown 02:35:43.559 --> 02:35:45.440 -up movies. And then we get to Jaws and Star 02:35:45.440 --> 02:35:47.000 Wars and it becomes the summer blockbusters. 02:35:47.680 --> 02:35:50.000 And then it builds on the 90s movies, builds 02:35:50.000 --> 02:35:52.620 on the 80s movies. And then now we're in, again, 02:35:52.680 --> 02:35:55.579 Avengers. Now we're in Endgame and Doomsday and 02:35:55.579 --> 02:35:58.719 Epic Madness. It's interesting to watch the way 02:35:58.719 --> 02:36:03.520 it snowballed. Yeah, and for my list, it's like... 02:36:03.680 --> 02:36:08.100 The 80s was pretty much Trading Places is a single 02:36:08.100 --> 02:36:11.979 film. Supergirl, single film. He -Man and She 02:36:11.979 --> 02:36:14.899 -Ra, Secret of the Sword, single film. Transformers, 02:36:14.899 --> 02:36:18.860 the movie, technically. That is a single film 02:36:18.860 --> 02:36:21.700 because it was animated and it didn't have a 02:36:21.700 --> 02:36:26.040 sequel to that specific film. Yes, the... cartoon 02:36:26.040 --> 02:36:29.020 series did have a third season and they continued 02:36:29.020 --> 02:36:32.860 on with the story, but technically it is a single 02:36:32.860 --> 02:36:36.219 film, a beginning, middle and end story, you 02:36:36.219 --> 02:36:38.739 know, but you go down past the eighties, you 02:36:38.739 --> 02:36:40.840 get to the nineties, you get a couple of other 02:36:40.840 --> 02:36:43.719 single films, but it kind of inches into franchise 02:36:43.719 --> 02:36:46.700 stuff where it's like mission impossible started 02:36:46.700 --> 02:36:50.000 in the nineties. And then, you know, in the two 02:36:50.000 --> 02:36:55.430 thousands, you get Spider -Man, you get, you 02:36:55.430 --> 02:36:58.649 know you get transformers you get and then you 02:36:58.649 --> 02:37:02.629 get the marvel stuff like you mentioned and yeah 02:37:02.629 --> 02:37:05.329 between marvel john wick and mission impossible 02:37:05.329 --> 02:37:11.110 those are the main franchises that i have outside 02:37:11.110 --> 02:37:14.270 of fast and i and i was trying actively like 02:37:14.270 --> 02:37:16.469 i didn't put the first fast because the knight's 02:37:16.469 --> 02:37:19.469 tale was the only one a night i have more connect 02:37:19.469 --> 02:37:21.170 like i have a connection to the fast and the 02:37:21.170 --> 02:37:24.079 furious the first film from 2001 not because 02:37:24.079 --> 02:37:27.159 i like that movie but a knight's tale hits more 02:37:27.159 --> 02:37:30.819 with me and has more to my story and like i said 02:37:30.819 --> 02:37:34.299 it also goes to my enjoyment of heath ledger's 02:37:34.299 --> 02:37:37.200 acting and whatever else but like yeah no it's 02:37:37.200 --> 02:37:40.059 just hollywood has gone more franchise as as 02:37:40.059 --> 02:37:44.159 the decades have have gone on so yeah that's 02:37:44.159 --> 02:37:49.649 that's the way the The film reel runs out.
