Geek Addicts - Episode 17: Talking About Our Favorite Movies And Films!

[00:00:00] The following is a pop culture podcast.

[00:00:36] Hello, and welcome to Geek Addicts, the pop culture podcast.

[00:00:44] My name is Matt, and with me is NASCAR enthusiast, Bill Barber.

[00:00:48] How are you doing Bill?

[00:00:51] It's funny because I have an Indy car on today, so it just makes it even funnier.

[00:00:55] I'm trying to mix it up every time I do it, just you know, keep it fun.

[00:01:00] It's better than me where I don't even know what show I'm doing half the time.

[00:01:03] Well, at least you have an excuse for that.

[00:01:05] Makes sense.

[00:01:06] Sorry, and I started 3DO like a couple of weeks ago

[00:01:10] and I did the GNC intro and I was like, fuck.

[00:01:13] What show have I even been doing?

[00:01:16] That's too funny.

[00:01:17] I do wanna make a quick correction to something I said.

[00:01:22] I think it was two weeks ago

[00:01:24] when I was going on my whole Taylor Swift rant, I think it was two weeks ago, when I was going

[00:01:25] on my whole Taylor Swift rant, I was bucking up my units of measurement. It was, I think

[00:01:30] 300,000 tons was the actual amount, like measurement I was going for. For some reason, I could

[00:01:35] not find the words that day. So that's all right. Here are the people that I'm sure the

[00:01:41] people that really cared have probably stopped watching after listening after that anyway.

[00:01:45] So whatever.

[00:01:47] There's one of those things is like, like, yeah.

[00:01:52] Like, not like a weird thing. I am just I am still new to

[00:01:55] podcasting. So I do listen to our episodes every week just to

[00:01:58] kind of get an idea of what I'm doing, right? What we're doing,

[00:02:00] blah, blah, blah, blah. And as soon as I heard that part, I was

[00:02:02] like, fuck, I know exactly what I was trying to say now.

[00:02:05] Yeah.

[00:02:07] Now I know that feeling like when I,

[00:02:08] I'll re-listen to like a few of these every now and then

[00:02:12] and I'll hear my, something I said of like,

[00:02:14] why did I say that?

[00:02:18] Yeah, it happens.

[00:02:19] So what do you end up to throughout the week?

[00:02:22] This week's been pretty suckish. It's just typical. The

[00:02:27] company I work for is like really poorly ran like, they

[00:02:31] were like freaking out that they were behind like we were

[00:02:33] backed up on work. And then we actually looked at and we were

[00:02:35] not even close to being backed up. They're just overreacting to

[00:02:38] everything. You know, typical stuff like that.

[00:02:41] Yeah, I do it back on the daily basis of my work.

[00:02:45] We had employee appreciation day today.

[00:02:48] Oh, we do.

[00:02:50] It must be a national thing.

[00:02:52] It must be.

[00:02:53] And the funniest part is someone was like,

[00:02:55] hey, it's employee appreciation day.

[00:02:56] And I just across the shop, let out a sarcastic, ha.

[00:03:00] And then everybody in the shop just laughed.

[00:03:08] So all the managers got bonuses. We got ice cream sandwiches.

[00:03:10] How good?

[00:03:11] Yeah. That I forgot to grab one out.

[00:03:13] That I forgot to grab when I left.

[00:03:15] So I didn't get the ice cream sandwich.

[00:03:17] Bummer.

[00:03:18] Because they were in the freezer and I'm like,

[00:03:20] I'm not going to grab one now.

[00:03:21] It's going to melt.

[00:03:22] So I'm like, I'll grab one when I leave.

[00:03:23] And then the second three o'clock kid,

[00:03:24] I'm like, fuck it. I'm out. And I just left. And I'm like, I'm not going to grab one now. It's going to melt. So I'm like, I'll grab one when I leave. And then the second three o'clock hit, I'm like, fuck it.

[00:03:25] I'm out. And I just left.

[00:03:26] And I'm like, I got halfway up the street.

[00:03:28] I'm like, yeah, I didn't want one that bad anyways.

[00:03:31] I'm not that expensive anyway.

[00:03:33] No, they bought the I know the exact brand they bought

[00:03:37] because I see them at the grocery store all the time.

[00:03:39] Not that I made some decent progress

[00:03:42] this week with some of my my nerd stuff.

[00:03:50] I am a stone stone's throw away from finishing Final Fantasy II. Nice.

[00:03:52] I just beat the Dark Emperor guy and then I don't remember the name,

[00:03:57] but Maria's brother in the game just took the Dark Emperor throne.

[00:04:03] So now I got to go kick his ass and then I'm pretty sure the game is done after that

[00:04:09] Let's see I I

[00:04:12] Caught up to the dub for the that new Kenshin remake

[00:04:15] Nice and it's pretty good. I've enjoyed it a lot. Um, is it like more act? It's pretty much an accurate manga telling, right?

[00:04:23] From what I haven't read too much of the manga. Well, I've read the first couple of chapters

[00:04:28] But from what I can tell it definitely is I've definitely noticed a lot of differences between the old anime

[00:04:36] Like the whole I don't know if you remember Raijuta

[00:04:40] The big dude would do it like the air pressure attack with his sword.

[00:04:45] He was like training the kid.

[00:04:49] Yeah, that whole thing, like that still happened but it played out a little differently.

[00:04:55] Ultimately, pretty much ended the same way but...

[00:04:58] I know like pretty much all the filler was cut out pretty much. I mean, obviously like the animation quality

[00:05:06] and the quality of the acting was significantly better.

[00:05:10] Although a lot of the characters,

[00:05:14] I like the older voices and-

[00:05:17] Richard Costano is just like,

[00:05:19] that's just catching the voice.

[00:05:21] Yeah. I mean, I don't mind the change in Kauru because her voice is kind of annoying in the voice. Yeah, I mean, I don't mind the change in Kaoru because her voice is kind

[00:05:26] of annoying in the original. Well, to be fair, her voice actor, actress couldn't really do

[00:05:31] the voice anymore because she's so much older now. Like she's playing she's playing Komi's

[00:05:35] mom now. So yeah, I mean, she definitely improved as an actress over time, but you know the original Kenshin dub wasn't exactly impressive.

[00:05:47] But uh I'm not 100, I didn't look into it, but I'm pretty sure the kid or whoever, I say kid,

[00:05:55] the person who played Yachiko in this new version, I'm pretty sure is the voice of Boruto.

[00:06:02] I'm not sure because that's one of the few voices that's unconfirmed.

[00:06:09] Because the theory is it's also the...

[00:06:13] What's your name?

[00:06:14] It's a lot of people theorize it's the lady that played Eloy and Yashihime.

[00:06:23] She was also in Kill la Kill. She was the main character in Kill la Kill.

[00:06:26] I gotcha. It just it sounded very boruto to me. So I'm pretty sure it's the actress who

[00:06:34] plays Boruto. I think it's a girl, right?

[00:06:36] It is. I'm forgetting her name. It's one of the they're both both the believed the theorized

[00:06:43] actors. Both of the theorized actresses are female.

[00:06:49] And I think the only other voice that I'm having trouble

[00:06:53] getting used to is Sanos Gay.

[00:06:55] I don't know what it is, it's just the voice

[00:06:57] in the media blazers dub just fits with him so much better.

[00:07:00] And my-

[00:07:01] Oh, Lex Lang, yeah.

[00:07:03] He's not Cortex now. Yeah,

[00:07:06] so weird. And then I think my only other like kind of issue,

[00:07:13] not really super issue, but I feel like the music from the

[00:07:17] original just fit the tone of the show better. With like the

[00:07:20] whole, you know, the old school, you know, it just like the era

[00:07:24] better.

[00:07:25] That like flute music that played pretty much all the time.

[00:07:29] Yeah, I mean, they definitely didn't have to lay it on as

[00:07:31] thick. But I don't know, like that, that vibe just fit the

[00:07:35] show better to me.

[00:07:37] Yeah. Well, I mean, I

[00:07:40] then freckles. You can't you can't forget freckles.

[00:07:42] Yeah, of course. Freckle. That's me in there. But I mean,

[00:07:45] I know I sound like I'm being negative. The show is really good. It did a lot of things very well,

[00:07:49] and I am enjoying it. But it's kind of hard to shake off your opinions of old shows. I'm trying

[00:07:58] not to let my bias overtake me in the way that I did with Kai when they made those voice changes. Obviously,

[00:08:07] I don't have that much of an attachment to Kenshin as I do with Dragon Ball, but you get

[00:08:13] used to it a certain way and then when a new version comes out, it doesn't always probably

[00:08:18] the right way. Well, it's like when Kagome's voice changed in the final act.

[00:08:27] It was like, if you weren't paying attention

[00:08:30] and like you just went like, you say came back to it,

[00:08:32] like after a while, you probably wouldn't notice.

[00:08:34] But if you're going from the final episode

[00:08:36] of the original series to like the first episode

[00:08:38] of final act, it is a shocking difference.

[00:08:41] Yeah, for sure.

[00:08:45] But yeah, aside from that.

[00:08:48] So you said you watched my happy marriage.

[00:08:51] I did, I did that like a week or two ago.

[00:08:53] It was pretty good.

[00:08:54] I think I've watched it just specifically to listen

[00:08:56] to your your anime swap on it.

[00:08:59] It hooks you after episode two.

[00:09:01] Yeah, well, it's like I mentioned on one of the discords,

[00:09:04] like I wasn't expecting the supernatural aspect. Yeah, I wasn't either. Yeah, it was definitely that

[00:09:11] caught me off guard. I also caught up with Jujutsu Kaisen this week. I've wrapped up

[00:09:16] season two today. So you got through all that depression. Yeah, no kidding. I mean, that's

[00:09:22] the best girl survives, but that's about it.

[00:09:25] Yeah, well, yeah, it was a lot that happened.

[00:09:28] I don't know if it's just me, but I have some trouble

[00:09:33] keeping track of what's happening in that show.

[00:09:36] Is it just me?

[00:09:38] I just mean, in general, ever since I started watching

[00:09:41] season one going through, I get the basic,

[00:09:45] I guess, the Cliff Notes version of the events.

[00:09:49] But like it's just while it's happening, I'm like, wait a minute.

[00:09:52] What is happening right now? I don't know what's going on.

[00:09:54] Yeah, it's kind of all over the place in terms of like what's going on.

[00:09:58] All I know is like legitimately those last like seven episodes.

[00:10:02] It was like, fuck, they're killing everyone.

[00:10:04] Yeah, right?

[00:10:05] No kidding.

[00:10:06] Supposedly.

[00:10:07] It's just a weird thing for me.

[00:10:08] Like I usually don't have any issues

[00:10:10] like keeping up with a story like that,

[00:10:12] even though I'm bad with names

[00:10:14] and it usually takes me a while to learn names,

[00:10:16] but like, I don't know, something about this show.

[00:10:19] I just have trouble keeping track of what's going on.

[00:10:23] Did you like or dislike the introduction for the second

[00:10:26] half of the season? What the song? Yeah the You Are My Specials one. I thought it was catchy.

[00:10:35] Okay I just have to bring this up because every time I do I have to shout out Slade and say hi

[00:10:39] hi Slade. See other people do like it. It was definitely catchy.

[00:10:46] I prefer the ending theme for the second half more.

[00:10:49] That's like the like really heavy piano heavy one.

[00:10:51] No, I think I like the intro more than the outro personally.

[00:10:55] I mean, I liked it enough to just kind of let it play while I was doing shit.

[00:10:59] Like, you know, a lot of other shows, if I'm not feeling the music, I'll stop what I'm

[00:11:04] doing to just hit the

[00:11:05] skip button but I don't know I didn't find myself doing it as much with that song so yeah that's a

[00:11:11] good sign. That's fair. Aside from that I managed to find a really good deal on a game that I never

[00:11:20] got around to playing as a kid. So I started playing bully this week.

[00:11:25] Oh, nice. Oh, Grand Theft Auto for kids.

[00:11:27] Yeah, exactly.

[00:11:28] I knew that this game was popular for a reason,

[00:11:32] but I was not expecting it to be this fucking entertaining.

[00:11:36] It's a good game.

[00:11:37] Back when Rockstar actually made more

[00:11:38] than just Grand Theft Auto.

[00:11:40] Yeah, it's just, I don't know.

[00:11:42] It's definitely a treat.

[00:11:43] I'm having a lot of fun with it

[00:11:44] when I have the chance to play it. I gotta play that again. It's been forever

[00:11:49] Yeah, as my first time running through it who's it's definitely been it's been a time for sure. Oh

[00:11:55] Yeah, I went to the monk. I went to Newbury Comics today by didn't bought some manga. Yeah

[00:12:01] Yeah, so they had it

[00:12:02] They were doing there like one of their like buy one, get one, get one

[00:12:06] half off deals.

[00:12:07] And I wish I knew that before I checked out because I would have bought more, but I grabbed

[00:12:12] a couple books.

[00:12:13] I got two more of these.

[00:12:16] Nice.

[00:12:17] There you go.

[00:12:18] Three and two and three.

[00:12:20] So they're another way down with Z's.

[00:12:23] Six more, six more to go

[00:12:31] Grab those also saw this so I finally grabbed this nice there you go

[00:12:38] Anywhere to anyone not to anyone not watching it's the time mode we incarnate is Yamcha. Oh, yeah I should probably mention for the audience

[00:12:40] um, I got um

[00:12:43] I got the two more visbigs for Dragon Ball Z and then I got the time I was incarnated as Yamta.

[00:12:51] We're recording late by the way. And then the final one, this one was great because this

[00:12:57] isn't even supposed to be out yet but apparently Newbury doesn't care about release dates either.

[00:13:02] I got the next volume of Black Clover. Oh cool. That's one I haven't gotten around to yet.

[00:13:09] Black Clover is good. It's kind of like Naruto, but if they were wizards.

[00:13:14] I mean, Naruto, they pretty much are wizards in Naruto. It's all ninja magic.

[00:13:19] But this goes like even more like into it. Like they all have like their spellbooks and

[00:13:23] shit.

[00:13:24] Oh, OK.

[00:13:29] It's good, though, I highly recommend Black Clover.

[00:13:30] Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about it. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

[00:13:32] Yeah. On my list.

[00:13:34] It's a lot of episodes.

[00:13:35] Yeah. And it's unfinished, unfortunately. But.

[00:13:40] Yeah, I grabbed those.

[00:13:41] I wish I knew it was by by by one get buy two get one half off. I would have bought

[00:13:46] probably more of the BizBigs because they had all of them there.

[00:13:49] Yeah, I picked up a couple more spy families now. I got up through volume nine now.

[00:13:54] Oh, so you got two more and you're caught up.

[00:13:58] Yeah, so that's exciting.

[00:14:01] Technically three more because there's another volume coming out this month actually.

[00:14:05] I thought eleven was the one that was coming out.

[00:14:10] Maybe it is. I'm all I know I don't remember.

[00:14:13] Well you could also be thinking of that um that like little get with a guidebook or whatever.

[00:14:18] So there's eyes only. That's the little explanation to everything that's actually worth picking up. It's an interesting

[00:14:25] read. Yeah, I was I was definitely going to just for the sake of completion, because Spy Family is

[00:14:32] definitely a series that I like enough to want to collect all of that for. There's also Family

[00:14:38] Portrait, which is the novelization. Oh, interesting. I haven't read it yet, so I don't know how far it goes, but it's, it was a nice, it was

[00:14:48] decent to pick up and just check out.

[00:14:50] Yeah, I might have to give that a try as well.

[00:14:53] I mean, I read enough books that probably won't take me too long to read it.

[00:14:58] Oh yeah, volume.

[00:14:59] Okay.

[00:15:00] Yeah.

[00:15:01] Volume 11 is the one that's coming out.

[00:15:02] So you got one more to get caught up and then 11 is the next one that comes out this month.

[00:15:08] Yeah, so I'll probably just get each one individually

[00:15:11] and then I'll be caught up.

[00:15:13] And I have been checking them as I get them.

[00:15:17] And I think volume nine is the volume

[00:15:20] where it overtakes where the enemy is covered up to.

[00:15:23] Yeah, right at the end.

[00:15:24] And then volume 10 is all original. Yes, which is exciting. It's cool. I'm excited to get into some stuff that

[00:15:32] I haven't seen yet. For sure. See, when I started reading the manga before season two came out, so

[00:15:37] like I read the cruise ship arc before it came out and I was like, oh, this is so cool. So much

[00:15:42] better animated.

[00:15:48] They did a really, they did a really good job on that. Then they gave us your getting shot in the ass.

[00:15:50] Yes, which is just delightful.

[00:15:53] Feels so bad for her.

[00:15:57] Yeah, I know you wouldn't really have an answer for this because you haven't watched Attack on

[00:16:01] Titan yet. But my wife and I were having a little bit of a mini debate

[00:16:06] between each other about who would win in a fight

[00:16:07] to the death, Mikasa or Yor.

[00:16:11] Probably Yor, cause she's freakishly unhuman.

[00:16:14] I mean, to be fair, so is Mikasa.

[00:16:17] And you wouldn't, I mean,

[00:16:19] her inhumanness makes sense in context of the series.

[00:16:23] You'll get it when you get there.

[00:16:25] But...

[00:16:26] See, the thing with your though is yours a massive unknown, because we just don't understand

[00:16:29] what the fuck's wrong with you.

[00:16:31] Yeah, she's just superhuman just because.

[00:16:33] Because the situation demands it.

[00:16:35] Spoiler, I mean, this shows a spoiler warning as it is, but my favorite is still like when

[00:16:43] she gets run over by the car while carrying Becky.

[00:16:46] And then she's like, she's like, don't worry, Miss Becky,

[00:16:48] I'll get you to the hospital. And she's like, I think you need a hospital.

[00:16:52] She's like bleeding, just running.

[00:16:54] I actually just watched that episode like a week or two ago, because

[00:16:58] my my son had just finished catching up on the show.

[00:17:01] Because I told him he had to catch up on the show so he can go to the movies with us

[00:17:04] when it comes out. So he took that real seriously and like binged

[00:17:10] the whole rest of the show in like a week. That episode, that whole episode is great just because

[00:17:15] it's filler. Like one of my favorite lines in the show is the don't commit adultery Miss Blackwell.

[00:17:27] That was too fun. Keep in mind she's like five.

[00:17:29] Yeah, whatever old they are.

[00:17:31] Yeah, I think all the other kids are a little bit older than Anya. But yeah, I mean, they're all they're all pretty young.

[00:17:35] So yeah. That's a good. That is a great show. Yeah, I'm amazed

[00:17:40] how much it's taken over since it came out.

[00:17:43] Yeah, that's that's a show that I wasn't expecting as much as I ended up liking it.

[00:17:50] It definitely is right up my alley, for sure.

[00:17:53] I still find it amazing that it was the author, he was infamous for all of his series that

[00:17:59] he would start would get canceled due to lack of a, like no one was buying them.

[00:18:09] So he did spy family as kind of like a writing exercise just to get through some like writer's block and it ended up being the one that just blew up.

[00:18:12] Yeah.

[00:18:14] It's funny how that happens sometimes though.

[00:18:15] You know, it's always, it's one of those things where it's like, um, you know,

[00:18:20] you throw a rock at a pole and every time you're trying to hit it, you miss.

[00:18:23] And then as soon as you're not trying You hit it dead on

[00:18:26] Yeah, it's funny though because like because he he was kind of like he didn't write it seriously now

[00:18:30] It's like the one that's stuck and he got asked to like keep sticking with it. Now. It's his money maker. Yeah

[00:18:37] Well, it's like at the same time

[00:18:38] It's like everyone knows like he has to have the ending be satisfying because it's like if he doesn't like people are gonna riot

[00:18:44] Oh, yeah.

[00:18:45] It's too big at this point.

[00:18:48] Wouldn't get away with it now.

[00:18:51] Yeah.

[00:18:52] That is true.

[00:18:53] But yeah, I think we should probably get into our topic

[00:18:56] now for this episode.

[00:18:57] Yeah, this is our longest cold open.

[00:19:01] Other than, I guess, the first episode,

[00:19:03] because we went up pretty long for that one, but.

[00:19:05] That's true.

[00:19:06] Yeah, so for this episode, we're decided to,

[00:19:09] we're gonna do something a little different this time.

[00:19:13] Really digging into that pop culture aspect of the show,

[00:19:15] we're gonna be talking about our favorite movies and films.

[00:19:18] Yes.

[00:19:20] I kind of had to just like last minute brainstorm.

[00:19:23] I know we knew what we were gonna do

[00:19:24] for at least a few days before this, I kind of had to just like last minute brainstorm. I know we knew what we were going to do

[00:19:25] for at least a few days before this,

[00:19:27] but I think I could really sit down

[00:19:29] and try to brainstorm some movies.

[00:19:31] Cause I'm not one of the kind of people

[00:19:33] who really ranks movies.

[00:19:34] Like I can rank like, you know,

[00:19:36] animators or stuff like that,

[00:19:38] but video games and things like that.

[00:19:41] But I don't know why like movies

[00:19:42] just don't register the same way to me.

[00:19:44] See, I'm not a movie buff by any means. Like like. Yeah me neither. I have a lot of blind spots.

[00:19:49] Yeah the most critical I look at movies are like anime movies which is really funny because you

[00:19:54] would you would joke when I suggested this topic you would joke saying ah good we'll get away from

[00:19:58] anime and games for once and I'm like yeah but I feel like we're gonna have a lot of anime crossover on this, regardless. Yeah, that's true.

[00:20:05] I mean, I definitely tried to,

[00:20:10] I mean, the anime ones, I'm sure will just come up

[00:20:12] as we go along.

[00:20:13] So I didn't bother taking any notes about those,

[00:20:15] but yeah, I was mostly just kind of going

[00:20:18] for like some of my all time favorites.

[00:20:21] Yeah, it's weird too,

[00:20:22] because I was trying to think like,

[00:20:23] what is my favorite movie?

[00:20:25] And I actually just don't have an answer.

[00:20:27] Because I'm not, it's not like games or like, animes, or like music or stuff where I have

[00:20:32] like definitive answers.

[00:20:34] Like movies, I kind of just I watch as I go.

[00:20:36] Yeah, I'm kind of the same way.

[00:20:40] For the most part, there are a couple I can name out that are just straight up my favorites.

[00:20:47] Yeah, but in general, like I don't really tend to look at movies that way.

[00:20:51] Like sometimes a movie will just blow me away and it'll be an incredible experience, but

[00:20:59] I don't know why it's just movies don't stick usually the same way? Like I have specific ones that stick with me. But like for the

[00:21:06] most part, I kind of like I'll have I have like a list of

[00:21:10] movies I like. I don't know if I'd really say I have movies

[00:21:13] that I'm like absolutely in love with.

[00:21:16] Yeah, that's fair.

[00:21:20] So how would you want to start this?

[00:21:25] I was kind of thinking maybe we could try to hit on like a couple So how would you want to start this? I don't know.

[00:21:26] I was kind of thinking maybe we could try to hit on

[00:21:28] like a couple of genres in particular.

[00:21:30] Like, I don't know.

[00:21:31] Like if you have a certain kind of movie

[00:21:32] that you generally tend to watch,

[00:21:34] like do you have like one or two specific genres

[00:21:37] that you tend to lean towards

[00:21:38] or are you open to like any kind of movie or?

[00:21:42] Mostly any kind of movie.

[00:21:46] Like I enjoy my action films.

[00:21:47] I enjoy my comedy.

[00:21:50] Not a huge horror guy.

[00:21:53] I do like drama though, thrillers and stuff like that.

[00:21:56] You see, I like horror movies,

[00:21:58] but like I don't generally tend to get scared

[00:22:02] by horror anything for the most part.

[00:22:04] Some of them will get me, but for the most part,

[00:22:08] I tend to see them more as action movies than horror movies.

[00:22:12] See, I prefer like psychological thrillers

[00:22:14] and stuff like that.

[00:22:15] Like for an example, like I'm not a huge horror guy.

[00:22:20] Like I find a lot of horror to be really cheap.

[00:22:22] Like it's either like, it's just like CGI,

[00:22:25] like crap that like is just supposed to be

[00:22:28] for shock elements or it's jump scares and stuff.

[00:22:31] Which I don't find jump scares scary.

[00:22:33] I just find them annoying.

[00:22:36] To me, I enjoy like a psychological film

[00:22:38] because those ones really make you think.

[00:22:39] Like for example, like one of my favorite movies

[00:22:42] of all time is like Donnie Darko,

[00:22:48] which that whole movie is a psychological mindfuck. That one I haven't seen. My wife, Cindy, has tried to get me to watch it.

[00:22:53] I actually know we were gonna watch it one time and her DVD was like scratched as fuck or whatever.

[00:22:58] We couldn't watch it. That's the only reason we didn't.

[00:23:00] And it just never came back up again.

[00:23:02] But that's one we definitely are gonna end up watching at some point. That's one of those movies that like you watch it once and then

[00:23:09] you have to watch it again right after because you so you can find all the shit that you missed

[00:23:13] the first time around. Yeah. Like I love films like that they're really like you have to watch

[00:23:18] multiple times to truly get. Yeah those are those are fun um but, that's how I tend to like Stephen King stuff.

[00:23:28] I mean, obviously I've read pretty much everything Stephen King has written, but it translates

[00:23:35] I think very well to film because it's not like jump scare type of stuff.

[00:23:40] It is like, they're not always like psychological thrillers, but they're always more like suspense rather than jump-scare

[00:23:47] And that's definitely what I tend to like with it with some exceptions like you know

[00:23:51] Some things like the the newer movies this stuff will

[00:23:55] Will have a few jump scares in there, you know, but for the most part it generally tends to stick to

[00:24:01] You know the build-up. Yeah, this like another

[00:24:03] to stick to, you know, the build up. Yeah.

[00:24:04] Like another psychological movie that like I really stuck has stuck with me for years

[00:24:09] is like Requiem for a Dream.

[00:24:11] Like I think that was Darren Afrozny's first film.

[00:24:18] That's just like one of those movies where it's like just kind of like psychological

[00:24:21] like it's kind of it's basically like one of those movies that feels like super real.

[00:24:24] Like it's basically like the world is fucked kind of like psychological like it's kind of it's basically like one of those movies that feels like super real like it's basically like the world is fucked kind of.

[00:24:27] Yeah.

[00:24:28] Yeah, I don't really want to I don't want to go too deep into that one just because

[00:24:31] that's really a movie you got to watch to truly comprehend.

[00:24:34] Yeah, well, I think I definitely think I don't know if we want to go with a specific structure

[00:24:42] but I would like to kind of tackle specific movies

[00:24:45] in their own episodes at some point or another.

[00:24:47] Oh yeah.

[00:24:49] I know we talked a little bit about doing

[00:24:50] like favorite childhood movies and stuff,

[00:24:52] but we can expand beyond that.

[00:24:53] Just do movies, be liked it.

[00:24:55] Like you're trying to find ones in particular

[00:24:57] that one of us has seen and the other one hasn't

[00:25:00] and kind of go like that.

[00:25:01] That'd be kind of fun.

[00:25:09] But I mean, my all time, my favorite of favorites, the movie that I watch, or rather, the three movies that I watch at least once every year,

[00:25:15] obviously Lord of the Rings. Like, that those are just like, that was a huge, a huge step forward in film in general.

[00:25:27] You know, even putting aside the sheer scope

[00:25:30] of Lord of the Rings as a franchise, as the books,

[00:25:33] as the expanded universe, if you want to call it that.

[00:25:40] Like the, I mean, how many awards

[00:25:42] did the Lord of the Rings movies win?

[00:25:44] In a lot. It was like mean, how many awards did the Lord of the Rings movies win? A lot.

[00:25:45] It was like hundreds, hundreds of awards for everything from digital effects to acting

[00:25:51] to music to everything.

[00:25:53] Like I listen to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack all the time.

[00:25:56] I love it.

[00:26:00] I don't play too many Lord of the Rings games, but I think that's just from an availability.

[00:26:05] Because I'm always kind of like weird about some of like the random like the stuff that kind of

[00:26:13] builds off of Tolkien's world without actually being based in Tolkien's world, if that makes sense.

[00:26:20] Yeah. You know, like how like in the2 era, we had like the fellowship game, the

[00:26:25] two towers game, the return of the king game.

[00:26:28] But then we started getting all these games that were just like, oh, elsewhere in middle

[00:26:32] earth, this was happening, you know, yeah, those kinds of games a little bit like meh,

[00:26:36] I don't know if I want to get into that.

[00:26:37] But yeah, like we've said it in the past, I'm not a huge Lord of the Rings guy.

[00:26:41] But like, I did have the Hobbit game on PS2 for some reason.

[00:26:46] Yeah, that's someone that I for some reason I never played,

[00:26:49] even though I used to see it all the time.

[00:26:50] I should. I don't know why I haven't.

[00:26:52] How it's like my favorite book.

[00:26:54] It's supposedly a really good game.

[00:26:55] I still haven't got a round of playing it.

[00:26:57] I got it for literally $3 at a flea market.

[00:26:59] So can't argue with that.

[00:27:01] And that was because it was like legit like a buy

[00:27:04] a buy to get one free deal.

[00:27:05] And I legit looked through all the games and it was the only one there that I was like,

[00:27:09] sure, that one, I guess.

[00:27:12] Yeah.

[00:27:14] But yeah, those are the movies that in particular, like I'll always go back to those ones.

[00:27:19] I'll always watch those ones like.

[00:27:21] So I have to ask because like I've got I've seen this like question before. The hobbit's not a particularly long

[00:27:28] book like I actually it's actually on my bookshelf over

[00:27:30] there. Believe it or not. I think I got it. It was like a

[00:27:35] book report book at one point and I my mom bought it and then

[00:27:38] I didn't read it because I never did book reports but um, that's

[00:27:41] fair. It's not a super long book. Did it need to be three movies? God, no. Okay. So you're on that

[00:27:49] side. Some people like try to justify it. And I'm always like,

[00:27:53] isn't it super short, though? No, they added so much to those

[00:27:57] movies. It did not need I mean, the fucking that there was an

[00:28:00] animated film in the 70s. And that one one hour and a half film covered the whole book.

[00:28:08] And yeah, it didn't spend a wicked lot of time on each thing.

[00:28:11] Yeah, they definitely could.

[00:28:13] I feel like it would have been best as two movies,

[00:28:15] but of course, because of The Lord of the Rings

[00:28:18] and the way that those movies went,

[00:28:20] how popular they were, how successful they were,

[00:28:23] obviously they wanted to make another trilogy.

[00:28:26] Then they have to stretch everything out now.

[00:28:28] That was especially during that era,

[00:28:30] like they were stretching so many movies.

[00:28:32] Yeah.

[00:28:33] And a lot of people will blame Peter Jackson

[00:28:35] for the way that those Hobbit movies turned out.

[00:28:38] It wasn't his fault.

[00:28:39] He actually came on the scene very late.

[00:28:42] Somebody else, I don't remember who,

[00:28:43] but somebody else actually sent everything in motion

[00:28:46] with those movies, everything from the scripts

[00:28:49] to everything with those movies.

[00:28:53] And he, for some reason, had to bow out.

[00:28:57] And if Peter Jackson hadn't stepped in,

[00:28:59] then the movies would have been scrapped.

[00:29:01] So he literally just came in to save the project,

[00:29:03] but he didn't have time to change the scripts in ways that he wanted to. The way the Hobbit movies turned out

[00:29:11] weren't what he would have done if he had been given the time and the effort and the tools.

[00:29:18] That's why whenever I hear people blame Peter Jackson for the way those movies turned out,

[00:29:21] I'm like, it's not his fault though. The movies wouldn't even exist if he hadn't stepped in. But yeah, there's definitely this. I mean,

[00:29:32] there are some things about the Hobbit movies that I did like. I did like that they took

[00:29:35] some of this stuff from like the expanded like the more like background information

[00:29:40] that you only find out from like the appendices of Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion stuff. So it was kind of cool that they added some of that stuff

[00:29:47] but then there was some really weird random shit that they added for no

[00:29:51] reason. They had no business being there. Yeah I mean I believe I swear it was all

[00:29:58] just to stretch these movies out because like there was like a there was like

[00:30:02] this period of time where it was like every movie was being

[00:30:05] cut in two for no reason like the Harry Potter like Deathly Howls was was like two parts for

[00:30:12] no reason. Well that one kind of makes sense to me. I mean I've read all the books. I grew up with

[00:30:18] them and the seventh book is very dense. There's a lot going on and they would have had to seriously abridge it if

[00:30:25] they wanted to make it one movie. So that particular one I understand why they cut it in two.

[00:30:31] Well that was the one that started that. I believe like Harry Potter did it first and then like every

[00:30:35] other studio was like, shit we gotta split our movies in two because they did it with Twilight.

[00:30:40] They did it with the Hunger Games. Yeah the Hunger hunger game was the one that I thought was kind of annoying

[00:30:45] That that was unnecessary

[00:30:47] I've never seen those films, but I do know uh, my

[00:30:51] Alex, um and our our mother

[00:30:53] uh, they went to go see

[00:30:56] Um, they went to go see those films and I remember my mom's reaction when she came out

[00:31:01] She was like it just kind of ended like it was like very abrupt.

[00:31:06] Yeah I mean that's kind of how the books are too though I wasn't happy with the way those books

[00:31:09] ended and honestly like I loved those books when I first read them in high school the

[00:31:13] Hunger Games books and I came back to them actually when we were working at Richards I

[00:31:18] went back to them just to see you know you kind of just like a revisit like see how I like them

[00:31:23] and I hated them after like when I read them again,

[00:31:25] my, my favorite was like, everyone was like, they're so

[00:31:28] original. I'm like, it's just Battle Royale. Yes, just Battle

[00:31:32] Royale. I mean, the whole concept to throw in a bunch of

[00:31:34] kids in a death, death match together isn't new. No, battle

[00:31:39] royale did it first. And now squid games has done it again. I

[00:31:42] mean, fucking name any fucking show in an anime.

[00:31:46] I know.

[00:31:47] It's done it.

[00:31:49] Tuning exams, hunter exams, like, you know?

[00:31:52] It's happened plenty of times.

[00:31:54] I love when people are like, it's so original.

[00:31:57] It's like, no, it's not.

[00:31:59] Nothing's original.

[00:32:00] It was a fun idea, and I liked the concept of it. I think the problem for me though is I just

[00:32:07] don't like the main character and that can ruin a series for you. See I hate things that are super

[00:32:13] popular as I've learned recently and those were so popular I just had no interest. That's fair.

[00:32:18] It's kind of like when it's part of the reason why I didn't get into Harry Potter. It was like it

[00:32:23] was just too popular and like people,

[00:32:26] it was the obsession that really kind of turned me away.

[00:32:29] Like some people took those books,

[00:32:31] like they made them like legitimately their personality

[00:32:35] in life for a while there.

[00:32:37] And I was always a little weirded out by that.

[00:32:40] But then again, I was also the weird kid in the corner

[00:32:42] watching anime.

[00:32:43] So.

[00:32:44] Yeah, well, I mean, everyone everyone has like everyone tends to find one thing that they tend to

[00:32:49] gravitate to and take a little bit too seriously. I mean I did the same thing with Dragon Ball when

[00:32:55] I was a kid. True. You know I just remember Harry Potter was like a big one at the time.

[00:33:01] Yeah well I don't know how I would have gone with Harry Potter if I didn't spend so much time at my cousin's house.

[00:33:06] Because a lot of the movies and stuff that I watched

[00:33:08] as a kid, I watched just because I happened to be over there.

[00:33:11] And that's how I watched the first two Harry Potter movies

[00:33:15] for the first time.

[00:33:16] And, you know, because they were just on,

[00:33:19] I watched it naturally and I ended up really liking them.

[00:33:26] And I think by that point, I was starting to get into reading

[00:33:29] which actually the Hobbit Lord of the Rings

[00:33:31] was like a big thing why I ended up getting into reading

[00:33:33] in the first place.

[00:33:37] My uncle had gotten me these like books on tape,

[00:33:42] you know, back when audio books came on cassettes. Anybody remember?

[00:33:45] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:33:48] Whenever I was grounded, I would just listen to those tapes over and over again. And I just

[00:33:52] fucking loved the stories so much that, you know, I ended up going out and getting the book for

[00:33:59] The Hobbit. And I read that, God, dozens of times. And then I just went from there, you know,

[00:34:04] I got into the Harry Potter movies. So I started reading the Harry. And then I just went from there, you know, I got to the Harry Potter

[00:34:05] movies. So I started reading the Harry Potter books and it just went on. You know, a film based

[00:34:11] off of a book that I really wish did better but didn't quite do as probably as well as they hoped.

[00:34:18] Do you remember the live action series of a Fortunate Events movie? Yes, that's actually,

[00:34:24] I intended to bring that one up because I watched that one a lot as a fortunate events movie. Yes, that's actually, I intended to bring that one up

[00:34:26] because I watched that one a lot as a kid.

[00:34:28] That movie, honestly, I think has held up way better

[00:34:32] than people probably remember.

[00:34:34] Like that's one of those Jim Carrey movies

[00:34:36] where he just fucking steals the show the entire time.

[00:34:38] He really did.

[00:34:39] And while I'll say like, to the point where I had no idea

[00:34:44] how anyone was gonna follow that up on Netflix

[00:34:46] and now to that series.

[00:34:48] And I will say I was pleasantly surprised

[00:34:49] with how that series turned out.

[00:34:51] Neil Patrick Harris was a decent count Olaf,

[00:34:56] but like I just couldn't think of anyone but Jim Carrey.

[00:34:59] Jim Carrey just brings it, you know?

[00:35:01] He like full force, like he brings the weirdness

[00:35:04] of the character, he brings like the darkness

[00:35:07] of the character, just Jim Carrey has a lot more

[00:35:10] acting chops that a lot of people tend to give him credit

[00:35:13] for.

[00:35:14] Well, it's like the Sonic movie, like people were like,

[00:35:18] even went before like they fixed it and made it actually

[00:35:20] good, like when it looked like an absolute dumpster fire,

[00:35:23] there was people that were gonna watch it just because Jim Carrey was there.

[00:35:26] Yeah, they pulled some big names for that movie. Fucking Meryl Streep was in that movie.

[00:35:32] The only thing that bothered me about that movie going back to it was they kind of changed the

[00:35:37] order of the books a little bit. Yeah, they mixed some stuff up and that was part of the

[00:35:43] reason why we never got any more.

[00:35:45] Yeah, because they cut the ending of the first book,

[00:35:48] and then they put it at the end of the film.

[00:35:51] Because the whole play thing and fake marriage,

[00:35:56] that happens at the end of the first book.

[00:35:59] But they put it at the end of the third of the movie,

[00:36:01] because they did the first three books in the film, like see in like this kind of sequential order. The problem is though they kind of that that

[00:36:10] it honestly was a really good ending, like for the film overall, so they kind of stuck

[00:36:14] it at the end. Yeah, though everything had already happened. Yeah, but I think I liked

[00:36:19] how they handled his character in that movie where, at the point where the wedding should have happened,

[00:36:26] when he like parks them on the railroad tracks,

[00:36:29] and he's just like, oh, it sure would be a shame

[00:36:32] if they died and left me all their money.

[00:36:34] Like, and then once his face shows up, he's like,

[00:36:37] no, you wouldn't have gotten the money.

[00:36:38] He's like, wait, I wouldn't have gotten it.

[00:36:39] Like, it just like, they got it really played up,

[00:36:41] like kind of his stupidity.

[00:36:44] And he just played it so well.

[00:36:46] It was great. I loved it. I still think my favorite sequence in that film because they

[00:36:50] really mastered those sets was how they handled the uh uh the wide window and that whole house

[00:36:57] like yeah how fucking gave me anxiety just looking at it. Oh yeah I mean even even reading

[00:37:04] the books when I was a kid like that shit gave me anxiety and looking at it. Oh yeah. I mean, even reading the books when I was a kid, like that shit gave me anxiety

[00:37:07] and the fucking leeches.

[00:37:08] Yeah, the leeches were pretty bad.

[00:37:10] Yeah, with their fucking massive teeth in the movie.

[00:37:13] Yeah, like 12,000 teeth per leech. Like what the shit.

[00:37:18] I just remember the in the, um, the movie, like you see the house was creepy in the book, but like you didn't really get an idea of just how creepy it was. You see it in the movie, like you see, the house was creepy in the book,

[00:37:26] but like you didn't really get an idea

[00:37:27] of just how creepy it was.

[00:37:29] You see it in the movie,

[00:37:30] it's legit on like these little tiny wooden eggs.

[00:37:32] And it's like, like how?

[00:37:34] Just like, how does that work?

[00:37:36] Doesn't make any sense.

[00:37:37] And as the scene where it inevitably collapses

[00:37:40] is fucking horrifying.

[00:37:41] Oh, for sure.

[00:37:43] And I love how freaking, what's your face?

[00:37:49] I forget the character.

[00:37:51] Meryl Streep was doing the whole thing about like,

[00:37:53] oh, I never used doorknobs.

[00:37:54] I'm afraid that one of them will burst

[00:37:56] into a million pieces.

[00:37:57] One of those pieces will hit my eye.

[00:37:59] And then like later out of the movie,

[00:38:01] like something happens, like a blowtorch

[00:38:02] or something hits one of the doorknobs

[00:38:04] and it fucking explodes.

[00:38:05] Yeah.

[00:38:06] It's lucky that you didn't see me.

[00:38:09] The whole scene, you straight up see her die.

[00:38:12] Oh, yeah.

[00:38:14] He just lets her go in the boat.

[00:38:15] We don't see it, but you get the implication.

[00:38:18] It's like, what the fuck?

[00:38:20] I love the way that happens too.

[00:38:22] It kind of seems like he's going to let her live because she's like, no, no, take the kids.

[00:38:25] It's fine.

[00:38:26] You know, I won't say shit.

[00:38:28] And then it kind of seems like he's got to let her go.

[00:38:30] And then she corrects his grammar.

[00:38:32] And he's like, you know what, bitch, you're gone.

[00:38:34] I'm done with you.

[00:38:35] Yeah.

[00:38:36] I was like, Jesus, like what an asshole.

[00:38:39] For real.

[00:38:40] No, no, no.

[00:38:41] That's just one of those movies that I loved that movie.

[00:38:44] I had a great time with it.

[00:38:46] Also, Lemony Snicket, like being in the background the entire time, like the scene

[00:38:50] with the the lizard and the reptile room, like the jump scare where he's like,

[00:38:54] oh, sorry, my typewriter jammed. Yeah.

[00:38:57] Yeah. I don't know the way that they handled

[00:38:59] like the humor and like the little like tension brace and stuff for that movie.

[00:39:03] It was just I don't

[00:39:05] know that that movie doesn't get nearly enough love in my opinion that I don't get why people

[00:39:09] didn't like it. It's a really faithful adaption honestly for the most part. Yeah, I think

[00:39:15] maybe it's because the diehards really wanted to see like the later I mean I was part of

[00:39:19] it kind of in that camp too where a lot of the diehards wanted to see the stuff that

[00:39:22] happens later on. But yeah, you know the way way that they set it up, there was no way it was ever going to happen.

[00:39:28] I found all of my books for that series, by the way, like when I was going through storage,

[00:39:32] I have a bunch of them still, I gotta like, see if I'm missing any of them, because they're

[00:39:36] kind of cool. I think I'm missing like two of them. Like, I think I'm missing like 11

[00:39:41] and 12 or something or 10. Yeah, not sure which but I have most of them. I

[00:39:47] Had a really long time though, I do remember that um

[00:39:50] Tim Curry narrated the books on the audiobooks

[00:39:54] Tim Curry makes some really bizarre appearances in some films. Yeah for sure. I

[00:40:01] Still can't get over like some of his voice work like roles like he's Nigel Thornberry,

[00:40:06] isn't he? Yeah, like that's like the voice I think of when I think Tim Curry. Yeah, I

[00:40:12] remember seeing like a meme or something and being like you could tell a whole lot about

[00:40:16] a person by what they remember Tim Curry from before anything else. Yeah. You know, he was almost a Joker. I mean, that would make sense. He was almost

[00:40:29] the Joker in the animated series, but it was his portrayal was considered like too terrifying.

[00:40:36] So they brought in Mark Hamill instead who gave the iconic performance, but I've always been

[00:40:40] curious of what Tim Curry sounded like. I mean, have you seen the hit mini series?

[00:40:47] I mean, yeah.

[00:40:48] It'd probably be something along those lines.

[00:40:52] You know, I was just one psycho clown to another.

[00:40:54] Yeah, honestly.

[00:40:59] Yeah, yeah, that was a great adaption.

[00:41:03] I'm trying to think I had another one that just popped

[00:41:05] my head, but I just lost it. Another one that I think had a lot of potential and I'm really

[00:41:10] upset that it didn't do as well as I wanted it to or continue into the later books was the

[00:41:15] A-cart movie. I don't know if you ever saw that one. I didn't see it, but I remember it.

[00:41:21] Yeah, I read those books when I was a kid. And I loved those books. And I just want the ones that I

[00:41:29] never really hear anybody talk about. But they made a movie out

[00:41:31] of the first one with Brendan Fraser as the lead. Brendan

[00:41:34] Fraser, I swear is like every movie that failed. Yeah, which

[00:41:38] is upsetting because I like Brendan Fraser. But yeah, he's

[00:41:41] a really good actor. He just had some really bad films. Yeah, they wasn't even his fault. But yeah, that

[00:41:49] movie a lot of potential is a lot of really cool stuff about

[00:41:52] it. I don't think the movie did horrible, like, as far as you

[00:41:58] know, adapting the event events of the books and stuff. I just

[00:42:02] wish it had continued. Because the second and third books, in my personal opinion,

[00:42:07] I like way more than the first book

[00:42:09] because the whole concept of those books is basically

[00:42:18] the guy Brendan Fraser plays has this ability

[00:42:22] where if he reads a book out loud,

[00:42:24] he can pull things out of the book. and the one that I think is really interesting is that the one that I think is really interesting is that

[00:42:28] the one that I think is really interesting is that

[00:42:32] the one that I think is really interesting is that

[00:42:36] the one that I think is really interesting is that

[00:42:40] the one that I think is really interesting is that

[00:42:44] the one that I think is really interesting is that and his wife and their two cats went in, and two villains and I guess an anti-hero came out.

[00:42:48] And that kind of like set up the whole events

[00:42:50] of the first book.

[00:42:52] And then the second and third book take place in the book

[00:42:55] that the villains came from

[00:42:56] because they read themselves into the book.

[00:43:00] So it's like a much more fantasy type setting,

[00:43:03] but they're from the real, it's kind of an isekai.

[00:43:06] Anyway.

[00:43:09] But I don't know, I just like the way the books handle it.

[00:43:12] Like, and I would have loved to see Brendan Fraser

[00:43:14] as like a highwayman,

[00:43:16] because that's kind of what his character

[00:43:17] turns into later on.

[00:43:20] That's a book series I haven't thought of in forever.

[00:43:24] But I remember those, they were all over the place back in middle school, high school.

[00:43:28] Yeah. I love those books growing up.

[00:43:31] They're definitely ones that don't get enough attention in my opinion.

[00:43:34] So I remember the adaption I was thinking of.

[00:43:37] Do you remember the City of Ember?

[00:43:39] No, I don't.

[00:43:41] No, you never. So the City of Ember,

[00:43:43] it was like a book series that it was kind

[00:43:45] of like this post apocalyptic world where it was basically like the world was about to

[00:43:50] like basically I think it was like a nuclear thing. So they sent like an entire like, basically

[00:43:56] like generation of people underground to this like city that was built like underneath everything

[00:44:03] called the city of Ember and it was like this

[00:44:05] like cave city like they were basically supposed to be down there until like the nuclear fallout

[00:44:10] was over. And then there was like a secret code on how to get back up that would that

[00:44:16] would open and so that the residents would know how to get back up to the surface. But

[00:44:22] it was kind of cool because like the way they did it was like they only people they sent

[00:44:26] down were the elders and like babies so that the elders would all die off and no one would know how

[00:44:34] to get back to the surface. Okay, so it's kind of like the vault. Yeah. What's interesting though

[00:44:41] is like the code on how to get back up got lost, so they ended up

[00:44:45] staying down there way longer than they were supposed to.

[00:44:49] So the city, by the time the book took place in the film version, the city's decrepit and

[00:44:58] falling apart because they weren't supposed to be down there this long.

[00:45:02] And it's kind of like this big mystery of where they find the code box

[00:45:06] and they actually piece it together

[00:45:07] and the main characters eventually work their way back

[00:45:10] to the surface.

[00:45:12] And it's sad because the film bombed

[00:45:16] because it came out of the same week

[00:45:18] as like some other big name films and no one went to see it.

[00:45:21] Even though it had like Bill Murray and stuff in it,

[00:45:23] like really good actors. And it sucks because like the

[00:45:27] second book, The People of Sparks is like about them on

[00:45:30] the surface. And it's like such a better book. Yeah, a lot of

[00:45:33] ways like there was that one, there was the Prophet of

[00:45:35] Yawnwood. That was the third book that was actually the

[00:45:37] prequel that told the story of what happened before. Okay. And

[00:45:41] then the final one was like the Diamond of Dark Eye, which is

[00:45:44] actually they go back down to Ember. It's a

[00:45:48] cool series. They were only four books, but like only the first

[00:45:51] one I'm gonna adapt it to do a adapted into a film.

[00:45:55] Yeah.

[00:45:57] Yeah, that's, that's always a bummer when that happens. I mean,

[00:45:59] like, you know, you got like in cart that does that that when

[00:46:02] they just mentioned the City of Ever.

[00:46:05] I think, I'd never read the books,

[00:46:07] but I think Aragon had a similar thing

[00:46:09] where the one book came out,

[00:46:11] or the one movie came out and it just didn't do well.

[00:46:13] They never continued it.

[00:46:15] One that did do well though, was we had mentioned it

[00:46:19] in kind of the scrapped pilot for this podcast

[00:46:22] in a lot of ways,

[00:46:26] the Chronicles of Narnia.

[00:46:29] Yeah, that's right. Those had like multiple films.

[00:46:32] Yeah, there was three, I think,

[00:46:34] at least the Disney ones.

[00:46:35] I know that there was,

[00:46:38] I know BBC made their own versions

[00:46:41] back in the eighties and nineties.

[00:46:42] See, I can't, so I remember watching the original BBC version

[00:46:47] of like a language in the wardrobe.

[00:46:50] Yeah, on blockbuster VHS tapes.

[00:46:52] Yep, and I can never get over that one

[00:46:55] because the way they animated the stone table breaking

[00:46:57] is the funniest fucking thing ever.

[00:46:59] It's been so long since I've seen it.

[00:47:01] I don't remember a wicked lot.

[00:47:02] I just remember watching it and like seeing like

[00:47:04] the animatronics and stuff for the animals. So I always remember it because like

[00:47:10] in the in the Disney version like it's really stone tables like this epic like legit what you

[00:47:16] think when you think stone table and when it breaks it like it's like this big like boom kind of thing

[00:47:21] and it's really epic. In the BBC film, the table literally just goes,

[00:47:25] it just falls apart.

[00:47:27] It's the dumbest fucking shit ever, but it's,

[00:47:31] I love stupid shit like that.

[00:47:33] And those were-

[00:47:34] Oh God.

[00:47:35] I was just gonna say, those were really good films.

[00:47:37] Like Disney did a surprisingly good job adapting those.

[00:47:40] Yeah, I still haven't seen the sequels

[00:47:43] to Line the Witch and the Woodrobe.

[00:47:44] I don't know why I haven't. It's just, I want to, I still haven't seen the sequels to Line the Witch and the Woodrobe. I don't know why I haven't.

[00:47:45] It's just I want to.

[00:47:47] I intend to, especially since I really liked Voyage of the Dawn Treader when I read it.

[00:47:52] But I don't know why.

[00:47:53] I just never got around to it.

[00:47:55] I actually have the really awesome.

[00:47:58] It's like the all in one book back there somewhere that has like all the stories.

[00:48:02] Oh yeah, the big beefy paperback book.

[00:48:04] Yeah, the one with the line right on the front. Oh yeah the big beefy paperback book. Yeah the one

[00:48:05] with the line right on the front. Yeah I got the same one. That was how I read through all the books

[00:48:10] the first time because as a kid I read I only read the first two I read um the magician's nephew

[00:48:16] and the line there was an award road. Yeah I wish the magician's nephew would get an adaptation.

[00:48:21] Oh good. I was just gonna say yeah that one is honest. The whole series is really good.

[00:48:26] Yeah. I was hearing a while ago that Netflix got the rights to make Narnia series.

[00:48:32] I don't know whatever happened to that.

[00:48:34] I never heard any follow ups.

[00:48:35] It's been like, because I was hearing that back when I was reading the books,

[00:48:39] and that was a while ago.

[00:48:40] I think Netflix buys a lot of rights,

[00:48:43] and then they kind of pick and choose what they want to do. Because I

[00:48:47] swear like they'll buy like a bunch of rights and then they'll

[00:48:49] make one thing and it'll bomb and then they'll just get rid of

[00:48:52] all the other rights because they're like, nah, nevermind.

[00:48:56] I don't know. Because it would have been nice, especially with

[00:48:58] the treatment that the unfortunate events series got.

[00:49:01] Like if we could get like that amount of effort and love put into an Arnie

[00:49:06] series, it could be really, really good. So it would be nice, but I don't know, I guess we'll see.

[00:49:15] So another genre of film that I really enjoy, it's kind of niche, but I really like these are like disaster films. Well, like, like, Dancer tomorrow type stuff.

[00:49:29] Uh, to a degree, like, when I think of like disaster films,

[00:49:32] like the one that like, this is one of my favorite films of all

[00:49:34] time is the Poseidon Adventure.

[00:49:37] I don't think I've seen that one.

[00:49:39] So that's the story about it's the last year voyage of like a

[00:49:44] ocean liner cruise ship.

[00:49:46] And they get hit by a rogue wave and the ship like capsizes upside down.

[00:49:51] And it's like it goes from being a disaster film, then it becomes a survival film where

[00:49:55] like a bunch of like a group of passengers basically has to work their way in the upside

[00:50:01] down ship to like the bottom of the ship, which is now the top. Okay, so it's that one Pokemon episode.

[00:50:09] Basically that episode is a, anytime you see like a ship capsized and they make like a thing like

[00:50:15] that, it's usually a reference to the Poseidon Adventure. Fair enough. Yeah, it's just a cool

[00:50:20] film though because it's like really like they go, it's basically kind of like one of those sequence

[00:50:23] of event things where like the group will like go and they'll have like they start out with

[00:50:29] like this big group and progressively they go through all the different like turmoil that

[00:50:32] they'll run into like say there's an entire section of the ship that's flooded now and they

[00:50:36] need someone to swim through here and of course somebody's not going to be able to swim through

[00:50:41] so it's like they progressively get less and less till they finally get to the end where they bust out of the

[00:50:46] the bottom of the bottom of the ship, which is now the top. Yeah,

[00:50:49] and escape. It's just a cool. It's a really well done old, old

[00:50:54] style film, like especially the original version. They've

[00:50:57] remade it like four times. And the most modern one is the one

[00:51:01] that's just called Poseidon, which is like the Wolfgang

[00:51:03] Peterson film. He's the same guy that did a like the perfect storm and like

[00:51:07] Daspoo. Yeah. There was um there was I'm sure there were sharks involved if it

[00:51:15] was a capsized ship. Um so they were never out in the open sea so we really

[00:51:21] never had any sharks. Okay so it's not the, all right, because

[00:51:25] this is one movie that involved sharks in some way that I always forget the name of but it always

[00:51:33] tends to come up. I was wondering if it was that movie but no it's not. Yeah not in a Poseidon

[00:51:40] adventure just because they never actually go out into open ocean. Okay. Yeah, I don't really do a whole lot of like ocean based movies I realize.

[00:51:56] Like that's one of the few that I have because like I'm not a huge fan of like Titanic.

[00:52:02] I mean I saw it years ago but it's not one of my favorite movies by any means.

[00:52:09] See that film is hilarious to me because I saw it as a the first time I saw Titanic was

[00:52:17] see that film came out in 97. I saw it 2005 so so I was 10.

[00:52:27] And I remember it because I think every young child

[00:52:32] that saw the movie remembers it for the boob scene.

[00:52:34] Yeah, I mean, I saw it very young the first time,

[00:52:40] because I remember the house that I was living at the time

[00:52:42] and I was really young when I lived there.

[00:52:44] I must've been like five when I saw it at the first time,

[00:52:47] or maybe even younger.

[00:52:49] I think we rented it at Blockbuster,

[00:52:51] and my parents didn't know.

[00:52:52] I really don't remember, because I watched it on my own.

[00:52:55] In the second show.

[00:52:56] And it's by 2005?

[00:52:58] I don't know if they ever watched it, to be honest.

[00:53:00] Because I was big into ships.

[00:53:02] That's the only reason I wanted to see Titanic.

[00:53:04] That's right.

[00:53:04] And I remember it being really boring, because it was big into ships. It's the only reason I wanted to see Titanic. That's right. And I remember being

[00:53:06] really boring because it was it was mostly just love story shit

[00:53:09] that I didn't care about. I want to see the ship. Yeah. But I

[00:53:13] remember the the the painting scene because I that was like

[00:53:16] one of like, let's see 10 year old me that was probably the

[00:53:18] first time I saw boobs. Yeah, it's about I think that was a

[00:53:22] lot of kids in our generation's first experience with boobs. Yeah, it's just it was there was a lot of kids in our generation's first experience

[00:53:25] with booze.

[00:53:26] Yeah, it's just it was such a shocking scene. Because I remember it was like you were I

[00:53:30] was watching by myself and I like look at the door and like, it's not gonna show up.

[00:53:35] Right?

[00:53:36] Childhood brain at the time.

[00:53:38] Just it's funny shit like that.

[00:53:42] Yeah, that's, that's funny shit like that. Yeah, that's funny.

[00:53:46] So are there any like, so I know you said you're not crazy,

[00:53:51] but horror movies generally tend to more suspense.

[00:53:54] Are there any in particular that you do remember liking a lot?

[00:54:00] Like whether it was just a straight up horror movie

[00:54:04] or just had horror elements or

[00:54:06] So I like the paranormal activity movies just because they were unique

[00:54:13] At least when they first started

[00:54:15] Yeah, I only watched the first three. I stopped after the third one

[00:54:19] That's fine

[00:54:20] Because I've lost interest by that point but um

[00:54:23] I think Cindy and I finished through all of them a couple of years ago.

[00:54:26] Well, the formula is only so unique

[00:54:28] like the first couple of times,

[00:54:29] then you're like, yeah, this is the same shit every time.

[00:54:31] Well, eventually the way that they,

[00:54:33] when they kept making the movies,

[00:54:34] it ended up becoming like a,

[00:54:36] like they had like a story going on in

[00:54:38] the background that ties back to the first couple of movies.

[00:54:42] Yeah.

[00:54:43] So I mean, watching them all back to back like

[00:54:46] that over like a week. It makes those later movies a little bit more likeable. Yeah. Because

[00:54:55] we're together. I like that idea like the whole like kind of like found footage style

[00:55:01] of like a film making. That feels more real to me than like the super dramatic shit that like feels fake as shit.

[00:55:09] Yeah, for sure.

[00:55:11] Then like there's just something like there's a scene in the third film that like I remember

[00:55:17] I always thought was really good at like it's a jump scare that's effective in my opinion

[00:55:21] where it's like the the cameras like kind of swiveling back and forth

[00:55:26] and like, it just keeps going back.

[00:55:28] And then at one point it cuts, then there's a light bulb.

[00:55:30] It just explodes and it's like, what?

[00:55:32] Yeah.

[00:55:33] Like the shit like that, or like the scene where like

[00:55:35] all like the stuff in the kitchen vanishes

[00:55:38] and then it just reappears everywhere.

[00:55:40] Yeah, when it's all like hanging from the ceiling

[00:55:43] and then it just drops.

[00:55:44] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:55:45] Just stuff like that.

[00:55:47] Like that is like good like jump scare where like it actually is like effective.

[00:55:51] Mm hmm.

[00:55:52] It's not just like like the worst jump scares are the ones where you're

[00:55:55] expecting them and you're just like, all right, when's it going to come?

[00:55:59] And then it's like, okay, that was dumb.

[00:56:01] Thank you.

[00:56:03] Yeah. So I only at least out of the ones that I took particular note of, Okay, that was dumb. Thank you.

[00:56:13] Yeah, so I only, at least out of the ones that I took particular note of, I only put like a couple of like, you know, horror movies, so to speak. But what are the ones I put on? I don't know if you've seen it, but Doctor Sleep.

[00:56:17] I've never seen that.

[00:56:19] No, it's the sequel to The Shining.

[00:56:22] Yeah, probably haven't seen it. It's honestly, I know you think

[00:56:28] like, oh, it's a sequel to a classic 80s horror film. It's pretty much like, I mean, most people

[00:56:32] consider The Shining to be the definitive horror movie. The Shining, so I know there's like two

[00:56:39] camps, there's the ones that really enjoy the original version of The Shining. And then there's the people who prefer Stephen King's reverb revision of it.

[00:56:49] Which is really the more book accurate version.

[00:56:52] See, I'm kind of I'm 50 50 on it. I prefer the.

[00:56:56] I prefer the overall experience of the accurate one,

[00:56:59] but the original one is just such a great film.

[00:57:02] Yeah, and honestly, the the the 90s one, it's just too long.

[00:57:07] It's like they need to shorten that up.

[00:57:09] Like it's one thing with something like The Stand.

[00:57:11] That makes sense to be six hours long because there's so many different

[00:57:15] characters that you're following and they're going all the way across America.

[00:57:18] And it's all sorts of traveling and different character interactions.

[00:57:22] The Shining is just three people.

[00:57:24] It's three people through the whole thing.

[00:57:27] Like I get why people probably prefer

[00:57:30] the more accurate one, but like Jack Nicholson

[00:57:32] just fucking steals that role like so well.

[00:57:35] Yeah.

[00:57:36] Although I do like Stephen Weber as an actor a lot.

[00:57:40] He actually narrates the It audiobook.

[00:57:42] It's a fucking phenomenal job with that.

[00:57:47] But going back to Dr. Sleep, I know a lot of people

[00:57:50] will say generally, a sequel to a 30-year-old classic

[00:57:56] is generally never going to work.

[00:57:58] This is one of those few exceptions

[00:57:59] where this is honestly a true piece of art.

[00:58:03] It does everything right that you would want.

[00:58:06] And yes, it is based off of the sequel book

[00:58:10] that Stephen King wrote,

[00:58:12] but the writer director of this movie, Mike Flanagan,

[00:58:16] who's a fucking genius when it comes to horror movies

[00:58:18] and horror series and stuff.

[00:58:21] He did such a good job of making it an adaptation

[00:58:24] of the book,

[00:58:25] the Dr. Sleepbook, but also making it a sequel to the Shining movie.

[00:58:30] And he found a way to make that work.

[00:58:33] And the acting is fantastic. The effects are fantastic.

[00:58:39] And the horror of that movie isn't like, it's not just jump scares.

[00:58:46] There is like significant suspense.

[00:58:48] There is one part that is particularly hard to watch

[00:58:52] if you're a parent, because the whole movie revolve

[00:58:55] was around essentially psychic vampires

[00:58:57] that kidnapped kids with a shining.

[00:59:01] And yeah, a part of their whole thing is that they like,

[00:59:04] feed on the shining itself

[00:59:06] to stay young and powerful.

[00:59:11] And the way that they refine the shining power to make it more effective is by torture.

[00:59:17] So there's a very hard to watch scene in there. But overall, it does such a good job of depicting Danny Torrance as an adult, him going through

[00:59:30] his own struggles with alcoholism, going through the same motions that his father went through,

[00:59:37] facing those demons and overcoming them in a way his father couldn't.

[00:59:40] There's so many different aspects to this movie that he takes to a whole other level

[00:59:46] that even the book didn't go to and it's just so well done. I'll always remember the Simpsons

[00:59:52] adaption of it too. Oh yeah the shinning. Yeah no tv and no beer make home or something something.

[01:00:02] I think uh I think one of my favorites was the South Park version of it.

[01:00:07] South Park did it pretty good.

[01:00:08] It was a Randy, Randy bought like the last Blockbuster.

[01:00:12] Yeah.

[01:00:12] The Blockbuster was like the overlooked.

[01:00:15] And he's just like frozen outside

[01:00:16] and like the Jack Nicholson pose.

[01:00:18] Yeah.

[01:00:19] So we're going to McDonald's,

[01:00:20] do anything just chicken noodles and foot pies.

[01:00:23] Yeah, that was a good one.

[01:00:26] Yeah, it was pretty great.

[01:00:28] So speaking of comedy, like comedy films are a interesting one to me because like it's

[01:00:34] either the legitimately a funny thing or it's like dumb humor, which is just kind of bad.

[01:00:40] Yeah, but I mean, I find things to like about both. Personally.

[01:00:45] So when I think of like classic comedy films, like one of my favorites of all time is the

[01:00:51] Blues Brothers. See, that's another one of my blind spots. It's what I've been hearing about

[01:00:55] for decades, but never around the watch. The Blues Brothers is, it's just such a fun story

[01:01:01] about like a whole like getting the band back together kind of thing because they need to make they need to make money to save this orphanage and you go there's like so many great songs throughout the film, like it's great just following them the entire time. Played by Carrie Fisher. And

[01:01:25] like she blows up an entire train station just because they were living there and then

[01:01:30] they just like climb out of the rubble and they're like, the hell happened?

[01:01:34] That's silly as shit. Yeah, I didn't even know that was a comedy movie.

[01:01:40] I mean, it's mostly a music film, like, like, actually a venture kind of film, but there's like so much comedic, like, value to it.

[01:01:46] Yeah, like, like, there's literally like, like, it's one of the most famous, like,

[01:01:52] police chase films of all time, where like, by the end of the film, all of these different people

[01:01:58] that they've like, run it, they've run a run a muck of, wrote the film, like, are chasing after

[01:02:04] them, because they've like, they bum off like a bunch of different places like

[01:02:07] Get chased by all these different

[01:02:09] Groups and like the ending like car chase like police chase is hilarious because there's just like so many police officers

[01:02:16] Following them from like each and every like direction. Mm-hmm. I just so much insane shit

[01:02:22] Yeah

[01:02:23] There's at one point where they're like going, they drive

[01:02:25] through a mall and they're just like commenting on all the stores like that they're driving through.

[01:02:30] Yeah, that's funny. And the music's just amazing. Like that is one of my favorite like old films I

[01:02:36] like to put on every now and then like Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, just great, great all around.

[01:02:46] Yeah, I'm trying to think of some of my favorite comedy movies. I mean,

[01:02:48] there's the classics, you know, like Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[01:02:54] That film is so quotable in a lot of ways. Like, the Black Knight fight is still great.

[01:03:02] They kill the narrator at the beginning, and then they get arrested at the end for killing the narrator.

[01:03:06] Yeah, the fucking the coconuts. I mean, that's the opening of the movie and the coconuts.

[01:03:12] It's just like such a it's just such a like recognizable part of that movie.

[01:03:19] Young old lady man. Sorry. It's like like bring out your dad I'm not quite dead

[01:03:29] yet he's like oh no he's about to die don't worry it's like it's like can you

[01:03:32] please take him it's like I really should he's like could you please do

[01:03:35] something he's like he's like look the other way he's like it like breaks his

[01:03:40] neck he's like there you go he's like, there you go. And he's like, all right. Like, I'm being repressed.

[01:03:46] Yeah.

[01:03:46] I'm being repressed.

[01:03:51] The whole the Camelot thing with like the the Knights of the Round Table.

[01:03:54] And it's like, no, it's like, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

[01:03:59] Stop that grumbling. I can't stand it when people grow.

[01:04:03] I need to show that movie to Xander.

[01:04:05] I've been wanting to watch that with a facilities log.

[01:04:07] It's overdue.

[01:04:08] The first castle burned to the ground, fell into the swamp.

[01:04:11] The second castle fell on fire, exploded,

[01:04:14] and fell into the swamp.

[01:04:15] The third castle, well, that one stayed.

[01:04:18] And that's why we call this swamp castle or some shit.

[01:04:21] Yeah, that's too funny.

[01:04:23] Or the scene with the guard out front

[01:04:24] and Sir Lancelot is just like running towards the screen, but too funny. Or the scene with the guard out front and Sir Lancelot

[01:04:25] is just like running towards the screen but he keeps like it keeps replaying the scene over and

[01:04:29] over and then just cuts to him. He just kills him. He's just there. She's got huge tracks of land.

[01:04:36] Land. The tale of Sir Robin, you know, bravely bold Sir Robin, he fought for cam a lot. He was not afraid to die. Oh, brave Sir Robin.

[01:04:46] Yeah. Oh, man. I, I guess that's one of those movies that I

[01:04:50] just have to watch every now and then it's been too long. For

[01:04:54] sure. Like, like, what is your favorite color? Blue? Oh, go on

[01:04:59] across. The next one. Like, what is the capital of a Syria?

[01:05:06] No. And then the fate my favorite one's like, what is the capital of Assyria? I don't know that. And then the fate, my favorite one, it's like, what is your favorite color? Blue. No, wait.

[01:05:12] I gotta fuck up that one.

[01:05:15] And then it's like, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[01:05:19] An African European swallow?

[01:05:21] I don't know that. And then he gets launched into the ravine. Oh my God. It's just that comedy was just in a different place back then.

[01:05:28] They just really nailed it.

[01:05:30] Especially British comedy. Cause it was so different.

[01:05:34] Like, um, so bizarre.

[01:05:36] Another one of the Monty Python films was like the life of Brian and like,

[01:05:39] uh, life of Brian has like one of my favorite, like what the fuck scenes in it.

[01:05:43] Cause there's like literally a

[01:05:46] scene where like, Brian like falls and gets like picked up by

[01:05:51] aliens. And then there's just like this whole scene with

[01:05:53] aliens. And then they drop them off exactly where he was then

[01:05:56] they crash and it's like completely in the middle of the

[01:05:58] film and then they never acknowledge it again. And it's

[01:06:02] like what?

[01:06:02] Good. One of the other I think one of the only other Monty Python

[01:06:06] movies I watched was the Meaning of Life.

[01:06:08] Meaning of Life's the other one.

[01:06:09] That one was hilarious. I think I rented it from the library

[01:06:13] actually.

[01:06:14] I mean, that's, that's all based off of the Flying Circus show

[01:06:18] itself, which in its in its own right was like hilarious.

[01:06:21] Yeah, I need to watch more Monty Python. Because that's, I don't know, something

[01:06:25] about that particular style of comedy that just tickles me

[01:06:28] in a way that nothing else does.

[01:06:30] My favorite is like the, there's one skit where it's like the,

[01:06:34] they're doing like the track and field stuff.

[01:06:38] And it's like, it's the marathon for people

[01:06:43] with no sense of direction.

[01:06:44] And then the gun goes off and they'll run in different directions

[01:06:48] There's the the marathon for the death eat the fuck the gunfire is often none of them run

[01:06:53] Mmm, and then my favorite one is the marathon for those with very small bladders and the guy goes off and they'll immediately run

[01:06:59] into the bathroom

[01:07:01] And then they cut to it later and it's like showing them them running down the trail. And then they keep running into the

[01:07:06] woods every five seconds to pee before coming back out.

[01:07:10] That's too funny.

[01:07:11] Just like stupid shit like that. That's just funny.

[01:07:13] Yeah. Another great comedy film is Spaceballs.

[01:07:19] Yeah, I actually in my notes, I just wrote Mel Brooks.

[01:07:22] That's another Spaceballs is another one of those movies

[01:07:26] that's like obscenely quotable.

[01:07:28] Yeah, Spaceballs, Men in Tights, the Robin Hood movie.

[01:07:32] I love that movie.

[01:07:34] I love the scene where it's like,

[01:07:36] it's like, who are you?

[01:07:38] Barf, it's like, not in here, this is a Mercedes.

[01:07:41] He's like, no, that's my name.

[01:07:42] I'm a mug, half-man, half-dog.

[01:07:44] I'm my own best friend. Fucking John Candy. John Candy is a Mercedes. He's like, No, that's my name. I'm a mug. F band half dog. I'm my own best friend.

[01:07:47] Fucking john candy. John candy was a legend. Rest in peace.

[01:07:51] Like any I'm thinking of like all the movies. Oh, he was in

[01:07:53] the blues brothers. Another great film that he was in.

[01:07:56] Oh, shit.

[01:07:57] Cool runnings. Cool runnings was great.

[01:08:02] Oh, fucking um, Uncle Buck. Uncle Buck.

[01:08:05] Uncle Buck.

[01:08:06] That was one of the classic ones when I was a kid. I loved that movie.

[01:08:10] The Great Outdoors. That was another great one.

[01:08:13] Stripes, if you like military comedies, he was in that one too.

[01:08:19] I haven't seen many military comedies.

[01:08:22] Stripes is really good. That's another pretty funny one. It's not

[01:08:30] technically a comedy but Full Metal Jackets are a really good one.

[01:08:39] So obviously being in the generation that we grew up in. There are three actors in particular, one of them we've

[01:08:45] already mentioned, that were very big during the 90s and early 2000s and just about everybody from

[01:08:53] our generation has seen at least a few movies from each of these people. Them being Adam Sandler,

[01:08:59] Jim Carrey, and Michael Myers. Are there any in particular that stand out to you?

[01:09:06] Any of that you liked in particular or do these actors just driving us?

[01:09:10] Well, Adam Sandler is an interesting one to me because.

[01:09:13] Oh, his movies are hit or miss.

[01:09:17] Well, his early films are all hits like

[01:09:21] Happy Gilmore, like Billy Madison, those big dad. Those are little Nicky.

[01:09:26] Yeah.

[01:09:26] Even Mr. Deets was pretty good.

[01:09:28] I like Mr. Deets.

[01:09:30] The water boy.

[01:09:32] Yeah.

[01:09:32] Oh, the water boy.

[01:09:33] Yeah.

[01:09:34] That's a classic.

[01:09:34] All his old ones were really good.

[01:09:37] It was right around when eight crazy nights came out.

[01:09:40] That's where he really started going downhill.

[01:09:42] You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I don't know if I mentioned in the podcast but I finally finished watching the

[01:09:47] alabaster arc of One Piece. Oh yeah. There's a villain in that arc who his gimmick is he's

[01:09:53] like one of those like extremely unproportionally huge, muscly tough guys. But his stupid joke

[01:10:01] gimmick is that he has a ridiculously high squeaky voice.

[01:10:05] Oh, so he literally just sounds like Whitey for crazy nights.

[01:10:10] That movie annoys the hell out of me because the animation is beautiful.

[01:10:16] I believe a lot of the animators who actually animated that film came from like the Iron

[01:10:21] Giant studio.

[01:10:23] You know, now that you say that, I definitely see it.

[01:10:26] They look very similar.

[01:10:29] But the plot is so fucking dumb in that movie.

[01:10:33] It is, but it's, I don't know.

[01:10:34] It's just one of those classics.

[01:10:36] Like it's like a classic Christmas movie.

[01:10:38] I love the songs because they're all hilariously bad,

[01:10:41] but it's actually not even a Christmas movie.

[01:10:44] It's a Hanukkah movie, technically true

[01:10:47] But I mean I I see it as a Christmas movie

[01:10:50] Yeah, me and Alex watch that. I don't know if that makes me uncultured or not, but

[01:10:54] Me and Alex watched that for new years this year because she found like a tick tock that had the the bum bitty bitty song in it

[01:11:02] And she's like what the fuck is this like? Oh, you've never seen a crazy nights. I'm like,

[01:11:05] you're gonna see a crazy nights. So we watched and she's like,

[01:11:08] what the fuck was that?

[01:11:09] And I'm like, definitely.

[01:11:11] Like, it was a crazy night. So what'd you think? She's like,

[01:11:13] that was the worst thing I've ever seen.

[01:11:15] The fucking porta potty scene.

[01:11:17] Oh, God, she's still she has like nightmares about that scene

[01:11:21] like that horrified her.

[01:11:23] For real fucking dear.

[01:11:27] I love that movie, though, because of the scene in the mall

[01:11:30] with all the other stores like singing toward singing at him.

[01:11:33] And I'm like half these don't exist anymore.

[01:11:36] Yeah, right. No kidding.

[01:11:39] Yeah, so many.

[01:11:40] That's that's such a dated movie at this point.

[01:11:42] They a lot of movies from that particular point in history are pretty dated because a lot

[01:11:46] of that stuff doesn't exist anymore.

[01:11:48] True.

[01:11:49] We were saying Adam Sandler though like his later films though.

[01:11:52] Oh my god.

[01:11:53] It's like it's like a grab bag of whether it's going to be good or not.

[01:11:57] No kidding.

[01:11:58] I like I never even bothered by Jack in jail because I just had no interest in watching.

[01:12:04] Yeah, that was bad.

[01:12:07] It's like like his hit or miss for me, like some people really like click.

[01:12:10] I thought it was OK the first time I can't stand it now.

[01:12:14] Yeah, it's one of those movies where you can't overwatch it.

[01:12:17] So all I ever think with Click is the scene where he's in the car

[01:12:20] turning himself different colors than the jogger runs by and he slows her down

[01:12:24] because haha boobs

[01:12:26] Yeah, well, I mean

[01:12:28] That's one of those Adam Sandler things. Yeah

[01:12:33] But I mean there was definitely parts of that movie the fucking Terry Crews scene was great

[01:12:37] Yeah, he's like a sing of the song and the fucking in the car and he mutes them

[01:12:43] Apparently he was pixels was an Adam Sandler movie too, wasn't it?

[01:12:48] Uh, I think so. I never saw that one. I just heard it was bad so I never

[01:12:53] bothered. Oh, that's a bummer. Granted most Adam Sandler films now are

[01:12:58] generally bad. I'm in one of the, I'm one of the people

[01:13:01] who actually thought Funny People was a decent movie.

[01:13:04] I don't know if I saw that one.

[01:13:06] That was the one where Adam Sandler is like,

[01:13:08] I think he was a comic in that movie,

[01:13:10] but he was at a point in his life where he was just

[01:13:13] kind of like, fuck this, fuck that, I hate everything.

[01:13:15] And then he found out he had cancer,

[01:13:17] and then it turned out he didn't have cancer.

[01:13:18] And Seth Rogen was in the movie, it was a few other,

[01:13:21] it was one of those movies that had just a huge

[01:13:23] grab bag of wicked famous people.

[01:13:28] They was having a party with a bunch of the it was it was one of those movies that had just a huge grab bag of wicked famous people like oh there was like having like a party with a bunch of famous people and fucking Eminem was yelling at Ray Romano from

[01:13:31] across the fucking room like that reminds me of uh it was another one of

[01:13:36] those just movies that just had a ton of famous people and it was just it was

[01:13:39] like supposed to be self-aware it was uh did you ever see This is the End?

[01:13:47] I saw that movie twice in theaters.

[01:13:50] That movie? Well, I saw it once and I was just like, what the fuck is like, because I came into it as a guy who really

[01:13:55] didn't care for most of those actors in general. I was just

[01:13:59] like, what am I watching at this point?

[01:14:02] Well, see, just but just by the nature of my late teen, early 20 years, I watched a lot of stoner

[01:14:09] comedy. And that was that was definitely in the same vein. I

[01:14:14] mean, it was all the same people who made all those stoner comedy

[01:14:16] movies.

[01:14:17] See, I'm not a big Seth Rogen fan. So like, I think the fact

[01:14:20] that he was like the main act guy in that movie kind of turned

[01:14:23] me away from it, even though I did watch it all the way through.

[01:14:26] I remember because Michael Cera dies really early in the movie.

[01:14:29] Yeah, in a very goofy way.

[01:14:31] Michael Cera in that movie was fucking hilarious.

[01:14:33] I love the way that they, and I'm pretty sure the way that they determined like the personalities

[01:14:38] of all the people who were definitely going to die was they literally had like a hat with

[01:14:41] a bunch of random shit.

[01:14:43] Like Michael Cera pulled like Coke addict out of his pocket out of the hat or whatever.

[01:14:46] Like it just like a bunch of goofy shit like that.

[01:14:50] Like I just love the way that they handled that.

[01:14:52] It was so funny. Craig Robinson is fucking hilarious, too.

[01:14:56] Yeah, it was just such a bizarre, bizarre movie.

[01:15:00] I do remember the drug scene.

[01:15:01] The drug scene was funny where they just do all their drugs and just gundam style, which is like,

[01:15:06] this dates this movie immediately.

[01:15:08] Yeah, there's a lot of things about that movie

[01:15:11] that I really enjoyed.

[01:15:12] And I love how like they spoiled the ending of the movie

[01:15:14] at the very beginning.

[01:15:16] Yeah.

[01:15:17] Did you catch that?

[01:15:18] Yeah.

[01:15:19] How they're talking about making Pineapple Express too.

[01:15:21] And he's just like, oh yeah, like at the end,

[01:15:23] Danny fucking eats me.

[01:15:24] I don't know. It's just so fucking crazy like that.

[01:15:26] At the very end, fucking Danny McBride becomes a cannibal and eats James Franco.

[01:15:31] Yep. Then there's also like they got the Backstreet Boys back together in that movie for a song.

[01:15:39] For no reason. That was fucking great.

[01:15:41] That's like fucking. F fucking in sync getting back together for

[01:15:47] the fucking the roles movie that came out recently.

[01:15:51] That's so bizarre.

[01:15:54] But yeah, I mean, this is the end.

[01:15:57] Pineapple Express, I've watched a million times.

[01:16:03] Try to think of some other ones.

[01:16:05] I watched Half Baked a few times.

[01:16:07] I was a pretty funny movie, but I mean,

[01:16:10] it had a lot of funny parts, but it wasn't my favorite.

[01:16:14] I remember Superbad when that came out,

[01:16:17] because that was the movie that both made and kind of ruined

[01:16:20] Michael Cera's career.

[01:16:21] Yeah, that was the one that kind of like sent him in stone

[01:16:24] as like the type cast of just like the awkward.

[01:16:27] Yeah.

[01:16:28] Awkward, I look really young,

[01:16:30] so I keep getting the cast as a young person.

[01:16:33] That is a really good film.

[01:16:35] It's just super of its time,

[01:16:38] I guess is the best way to explain it.

[01:16:43] Yeah, that one.

[01:16:47] That one's another one that's only good for like one or two watches.

[01:16:48] And then after that, it just becomes very-

[01:16:50] Once you know all the jokes,

[01:16:52] once you know all the jokes, it's like, yeah.

[01:16:55] I don't need to watch this again.

[01:16:57] Zombieland was really fun.

[01:16:58] I liked that movie a lot.

[01:17:00] I actually just, while we were in Florida,

[01:17:02] we watched the second one

[01:17:03] and I was actually pleasantly surprised.

[01:17:06] I like that one a lot.

[01:17:09] Zombie Land's a really fun movie.

[01:17:10] I fucking Woody Harrell's into the shit.

[01:17:14] I was trying to think.

[01:17:18] Maybe an unpopular opinion, but Will Ferrell might be one of my least favorite actors.

[01:17:24] I mean, that's reasonable.

[01:17:26] I think a lot of people are in that camp.

[01:17:29] But it's not even him.

[01:17:30] I just think his movies,

[01:17:31] like it might just be the movies he's attached to.

[01:17:34] I just don't find funny.

[01:17:35] I think it's just like,

[01:17:38] I think everything he's cast for really leans really hard

[01:17:41] into his Saturday Night Live history.

[01:17:49] Yeah. And they kind of like specifically write the roles as if it was like a Saturday Night Live skit.

[01:17:52] Yeah, I see that. Like when I think Will Ferrell, like the one

[01:17:56] film of his that I still like, and it's pretty obvious why, but I loved Halladega Nights.

[01:18:03] Yeah, that's that's a classic. I love that.

[01:18:05] My my favorite thing is like you'll get those snooty uptight NASCAR fans

[01:18:09] are like, this movie is an embarrassment,

[01:18:11] but then you'll get the actual drivers being like, this movie isn't a comedy.

[01:18:15] It's a documentary.

[01:18:18] Because they're like, this is real.

[01:18:20] That's hilarious.

[01:18:21] I mean, obviously it's fluffed up, but a lot of them are like, yeah,

[01:18:24] this is how we are. Yeah, that's that's fucking hilarious. But mean, obviously it's fluffed up, but a lot of them are like, yeah, this is how we are.

[01:18:25] Yeah, that's, that's fucking hilarious.

[01:18:28] My favorite part of that movie is like early on where he's like getting his first interview

[01:18:33] and he's like, his hands just keep raising up.

[01:18:35] He's like, I don't know what to do with my hands.

[01:18:36] That's one of my favorite jokes.

[01:18:39] Because I can see that actually happening.

[01:18:41] And like, if you actually were like getting interviewed like that, you just, you would

[01:18:44] know what to do.

[01:18:46] I've made that joke reference so many times in my life. You

[01:18:49] know, it's funny is when I'm when Cindy was working at Stop

[01:18:53] and Shop, she made that that reference. Yeah, nobody had any

[01:18:57] clue what she was talking about. Oh, yeah. They were all young

[01:19:00] kids that have never seen fucking Talladega Nights.

[01:19:03] My favorite too is like,

[01:19:05] anytime I see like an obnoxious sticker

[01:19:07] on somebody's windshield,

[01:19:08] I'm always like, like the sticker is wildly

[01:19:11] inconvenient and dangerous,

[01:19:12] but damn do I like fig newts.

[01:19:18] One of my favorites is I'm gonna come at you

[01:19:19] like a spider monkey.

[01:19:22] He's like, oh yeah, by the way,

[01:19:24] I've got two grams of like, Oh, yeah, by the way, I've got to to like

[01:19:26] to two grams of like, South Cuban key like heroin or something

[01:19:30] to this car and you got you got to drive and he's like, by the

[01:19:33] way, don't try to snort these lucky charms.

[01:19:37] Can get us on the table. Get down. There you go. Yes.

[01:19:46] I don't usually record at home. The cat's usually not a problem.

[01:19:48] Sorry, I have to deal with Tilly every GNC episode, so.

[01:19:53] Yeah, well, at least kitten isn't yelling into the microphone.

[01:19:57] Oh, Tilly doesn't yell into the microphone.

[01:19:58] Alex forces her to yell into the microphone.

[01:20:02] Yeah, well, I mean, I'm not blaming Tilly.

[01:20:04] Don't get me wrong. True.

[01:20:08] Yeah, Talladega Nights is great, though.

[01:20:09] That's that's like probably one of my the only Will Ferrell movies

[01:20:12] I really still enjoy.

[01:20:13] Yeah, I mean, I still like some Will Ferrell movies.

[01:20:16] There's some roles that I definitely liked him a lot.

[01:20:18] It like I loved him in the Lego movie.

[01:20:21] The Lego movie was great.

[01:20:22] I was one of those just like big grab bags

[01:20:25] of like actors that did really well.

[01:20:28] One last day, good night's joke.

[01:20:30] I just remembered that's great.

[01:20:31] The scene where he's starting to get big

[01:20:33] and there's like the girl in the crowd who's like,

[01:20:34] hey driver, and she lifts her top off.

[01:20:37] And I just left his line of, please be 18.

[01:20:39] And it's like, that is very relatable.

[01:20:44] For real.

[01:20:45] That's so funny as a classic.

[01:20:49] So I know you don't really have much of an affinity

[01:20:53] for Disney, but were there any Disney movies

[01:20:57] that you watched a lot as a kid?

[01:21:02] Any particular that you liked and played a lot?

[01:21:09] I'm trying to think because we had a bunch of them like treasure planet was on a lot and

[01:21:15] I remember not realizing treasure planet was just a futuristic version of a

[01:21:20] treasure island back in the day. Yeah. Which thinking about it now,

[01:21:24] Treasure Island back in the day. Yeah, which thinking about it now. I

[01:21:28] Don't think that movie got its fair shake

[01:21:31] Yeah, I definitely I agree with you

[01:21:35] To and to be honest, I'm one of those people who didn't really give it that fair shake I remember I watched it once or twice and I don't know what everything didn't really catch me but like looking back on it

[01:21:42] It was probably one of the more entertaining movies.

[01:21:46] Yeah, I mean, they did.

[01:21:48] It's a really good adaption of it, especially like a futuristic take. Hmm.

[01:21:54] Trying to think another one that I remember fondly.

[01:21:57] I mean, I watched the Pirates of the Caribbean films like all the time.

[01:22:01] Oh, yeah, those are

[01:22:03] that that first movie freaked me out though the first time I

[01:22:05] watched it with the f***ing skeletons and s***. Yeah. That like uh I was still going through my

[01:22:10] nightmare phase at the time though. I was at the phase of my childhood where I was having a lot of

[01:22:15] nightmares so I saw that s*** and I was like f*** nope nope. Yeah. I got over pretty quick though.

[01:22:20] It's a great movie. Yeah the first one's really good, the second one's good. I love the third one, the third one's probably my favorite.

[01:22:28] The fourth one was, eh,

[01:22:30] and I still haven't seen the fifth one yet.

[01:22:32] Yeah, I think I started watching the movies

[01:22:35] a couple of years ago from the beginning

[01:22:37] just because it had been a while

[01:22:38] and I think I watched the fourth one,

[01:22:41] but I don't remember it.

[01:22:43] Yeah, it's the one with the founding youth.

[01:22:45] Yeah, I remember that part.

[01:22:47] I just don't remember really anything else.

[01:22:49] Was Blackbeard involved?

[01:22:51] Yeah.

[01:22:52] Yeah, see, I barely remember any of that shit.

[01:22:55] I just remember fucking Johnny Depp doing Johnny Depp things.

[01:22:59] See, I always remember because like the third,

[01:23:01] by the, because I remember a lot of people were tired of Johnny Depp by the

[01:23:04] third movie. And the third movie he legit doesn't appear until like halfway

[01:23:08] through it. Yeah, because it's like because he he he got sucked down with the Black Pearl

[01:23:14] at the end of the Dead Man's Chest. Yeah, I get eaten by the Kraken. Yeah. But I remember

[01:23:21] because it's like you watch the third movie at World and you're like, wow, how refreshing Johnny Depp's not here.

[01:23:26] You can actually get some plot without his insane goofiness, which is shenanigans.

[01:23:32] At the time you were annoyed by him, but in hindsight, you watch those movies again, you're

[01:23:35] like, he kind of makes those movies.

[01:23:37] Yeah, I don't know how Disney is going to try and make those, try and make another one

[01:23:42] without him is just not going to work.

[01:23:44] Yeah, sorry, guys, but it's just not not they're not.

[01:23:47] Or they're they're going to eat crow and get him back. But.

[01:23:52] Well, I mean, if he's a man of his word, it's never going to happen

[01:23:56] because he plainly said I'm not fucking with Disney anymore

[01:23:58] after what they put me through. True.

[01:24:01] Money changes a lot of people's opinions, though.

[01:24:03] But we'll wait and see on that.

[01:24:04] I don't think he's hurting on

[01:24:05] money.

[01:24:08] You never know.

[01:24:09] But my favorite is though, in

[01:24:11] the third one is like you spend

[01:24:12] like half the movie without him.

[01:24:13] And then he finally does appear.

[01:24:15] And there's fucking 40 of him on

[01:24:16] screen at once.

[01:24:18] Yeah, that was a

[01:24:21] definitely a funny bait and

[01:24:23] switch. He's like, oh, no, Johnny

[01:24:24] Dappen, this movie up, Johnny Depp in this movie.

[01:24:25] There's like 80 of them.

[01:24:26] Yeah, I just love when he picks up that like hermacraft rock and like his first

[01:24:31] instinct is to lick it and I'm just like, all right.

[01:24:37] Dehydration is a it's a crazy thing.

[01:24:39] Yeah, that whole scene was a giant drug trip.

[01:24:42] The fucking peanut.

[01:24:45] I still remember the first one with the,

[01:24:47] when they're on the Rum Runner Island

[01:24:49] and like they get fucking wasted the first night.

[01:24:53] And then he wakes up the next morning

[01:24:54] and just smells the rum burning.

[01:24:56] And he's like, why are you burning all the rum?

[01:25:00] Why is the rum gone?

[01:25:01] Yeah.

[01:25:02] It's like a good diesel. It's too funny. Why is there a rumba? Yeah.

[01:25:14] It's too funny. Yeah, for me, The Fox and the Ham was a big one for me. I watched that one so much.

[01:25:23] Oh, yeah, I'm on the record of I hated Bambi. That was my least favorite movie back in the day. I didn't care for it as a kid, but my daughter loves it. So I found that appreciation for

[01:25:28] it, for what it is.

[01:25:30] That's understandable. I thought it was boring.

[01:25:32] Yeah, I mean, it's still not a movie I'd go out of my way to like there are a couple

[01:25:36] of Disney movies I would watch on my own. Not many, but I was

[01:25:40] gonna say I was the shithead growing up who like,

[01:25:45] everyone would be like, bambi's a beautiful movie.

[01:25:47] I'm like, the most entertaining scene

[01:25:48] is the scene where the mother dies.

[01:25:51] I was that asshole.

[01:25:53] For real.

[01:25:55] Fantasia is one though that's like,

[01:25:57] it's just timeless to me.

[01:25:59] Yeah.

[01:26:00] Like, I can sit down and watch it.

[01:26:02] I mean, it also has like,

[01:26:04] it has especially significance to me as well

[01:26:07] it was one of my grandfather's favorite movies and

[01:26:11] I

[01:26:14] Hadn't seen it for a long time

[01:26:16] Since I since I was a kid

[01:26:19] And I don't know most been two or three years after he died

[01:26:22] I watched it for the first time in like 20 years.

[01:26:26] And I, I don't know if it's gonna seem a little bit heavy

[01:26:31] but like watching it in the circumstance that I did

[01:26:34] helped me kind of like accept his death in a way.

[01:26:39] Yeah.

[01:26:42] It's just an incredible piece of art.

[01:26:50] Like it's one of the few Disney movies and it's, it's an old ass movie. The movies, movies 15 years away from being a hundred years old and holds up.

[01:26:56] It's, it's a really good movie.

[01:26:58] The broom scene is still one of the most iconic things in that movie, I believe.

[01:27:02] For sure.

[01:27:04] For sure.

[01:27:05] Um, trying to think of another, uh, this one's technically, I think it's one of the most iconic things in that movie, I believe. For sure. For sure.

[01:27:08] I'm trying to think of another. This one's technically Disney in a sense,

[01:27:11] but did you ever see Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[01:27:14] Oh, of course.

[01:27:15] That's a classic.

[01:27:16] That is just a technical marvel still to this day.

[01:27:19] Just the whole-

[01:27:20] Especially when it came out too.

[01:27:21] Oh yeah.

[01:27:22] I love.

[01:27:26] Shit, I'm blanking on his name. Who played the main character?

[01:27:29] Oh, the the detective guy.

[01:27:32] I yeah, I couldn't for the life of me tell you.

[01:27:34] This has been a bother me because he was he was freaking Mario

[01:27:37] in the Mario Brothers movie to was he?

[01:27:39] Yeah. And he hated every moment of it.

[01:27:42] I'll bet.

[01:27:44] How I'm blanking on his name right now.

[01:27:47] One second.

[01:27:48] I never bothered to look up the actors for this movie,

[01:27:51] so I wouldn't know.

[01:27:54] Bob Hoskins.

[01:27:55] Bob Hoskins, that's his name.

[01:27:57] He is an excellent actor, and I love him in Who Framed Roger

[01:28:01] Rabbit.

[01:28:01] He nails that role.

[01:28:03] Yeah, back when people could be drunks in Disney movies.

[01:28:06] Yeah, that movie that movie, too, is really iconic to me,

[01:28:11] especially like there's legit a scene in that movie

[01:28:15] with Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny on screen at once.

[01:28:19] Yeah, that was I think the only.

[01:28:23] Are the only other times they ever got away with doing that

[01:28:25] was in what Looney Tunes back in action,

[01:28:28] or was it something like that?

[01:28:30] It wasn't that.

[01:28:31] It was something like that.

[01:28:32] I don't think it was Looney Tunes back in action.

[01:28:33] But I know there was a movie along the same lines

[01:28:36] with the same kind of like real life slash cartoon mashup

[01:28:41] that did a similar thing.

[01:28:43] I know another iconic scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit

[01:28:46] is the piano scene with Donald and Daffy Duck.

[01:28:49] Yes, yes.

[01:28:50] Like that scene is just insane to me.

[01:28:54] A lot of, the animation in that film

[01:28:56] is just honestly the best part of it.

[01:29:00] What was the movie where it would have been after,

[01:29:05] like, do you remember the live action Scooby-Doo movies?

[01:29:08] Like the original two.

[01:29:09] Oh, yeah.

[01:29:10] The first one is amazing

[01:29:13] just because they made Scrappy-Doo the villain.

[01:29:15] Yeah.

[01:29:17] But I just like that, I remember specifically,

[01:29:22] I don't remember what movie it was,

[01:29:24] but it was one of those like cartoon real life

[01:29:26] mashup movies.

[01:29:27] And it was a scene where like cartoon Shaggy was like,

[01:29:32] I don't know, like threatening to like beat up

[01:29:35] the live action Shaggy for some reason.

[01:29:38] It was just like, you did be dirty

[01:29:40] or something like that.

[01:29:42] I don't remember what movie it was,

[01:29:43] but I just remember loving that scene.

[01:29:47] We mentioned it earlier, but Looney Tunes Back in Action,

[01:29:49] that was, we also mentioned Brendan Fraser.

[01:29:52] I'm pretty sure that movie ruined his career for a while.

[01:29:55] Yeah, yeah.

[01:29:58] That movie's so bad, but also kind of amazing.

[01:30:01] Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know.

[01:30:04] It's a lot of movies from that time that just.

[01:30:06] Do you know the story behind that movie

[01:30:08] and like how it was originally supposed to be something else?

[01:30:11] No.

[01:30:12] So you know how they were space jam and space jam was huge?

[01:30:15] Mm-hmm.

[01:30:17] Maybe that's what I was thinking of.

[01:30:19] That was the one with like the basketball and the.

[01:30:22] Yeah, but I was saying maybe that's what I was thinking of

[01:30:23] with the Scooby Doo thing.

[01:30:28] Maybe I don't remember. But anyways, continue.

[01:30:30] But the my favorite.

[01:30:32] So they did Space Jam, and Space Jam was pretty big, even though

[01:30:36] I get it's a meme and it's like everyone likes it because of the knowledge of it.

[01:30:39] The movie wasn't that good.

[01:30:42] They were going to do like spin off of that.

[01:30:44] And there was going to be there was actually supposed to be

[01:30:46] one called Race Jam, which was gonna be a NASCAR themed

[01:30:50] crossover.

[01:30:52] I was gonna say that that title like that is a little sus.

[01:30:55] Yeah, that might be why they didn't do it.

[01:30:58] Especially the time.

[01:31:00] Yeah, it was supposed to be a NASCAR themed version

[01:31:03] of Space Jam with starring Jeff Gordon.

[01:31:07] They later trans that basically transformed into Looney Tunes back in action. That's why

[01:31:11] Jeff Gordon makes a cameo in that movie with his car getting stolen. No shit. It's such

[01:31:17] a goofy, goofy, goofy movie overall. Yeah, that's another one I remember from back in the day, the goofy movie.

[01:31:26] Oh, the original one with the Max goof just wanting to be left alone.

[01:31:32] Yeah, I remember just catching that one on TV a bunch. Then I remember the video game too. I

[01:31:38] think I played a little bit of that. See, I always preferred the extremely goofy movie.

[01:31:43] See, I always preferred the extremely goofy movie. Yeah, when he went to college.

[01:31:46] He went to college and his dad also went to college with him.

[01:31:53] And I always remembered because of the leaning tower of Cheezah, man.

[01:32:02] And my favorite line in that film is the like, so do you ever wonder why we always are wearing

[01:32:06] gloves?

[01:32:09] I love those like super self-aware moments and those kinds of movies.

[01:32:14] Yeah.

[01:32:15] You know, it's a Disney movie that aged very poorly.

[01:32:19] Well, I could name many, but I doubt that it's the one you're thinking of.

[01:32:24] Is it Dumbo? Is that the elephant? Oh, but I don't. It's the one you're thinking of. The Dumbo, is that the elephant?

[01:32:27] Oh, yeah. I was going to make a joke about songs.

[01:32:30] I was going to say songs of the self didn't age well.

[01:32:33] Yeah. Well,

[01:32:36] Yeah.

[01:32:37] Reasons for that.

[01:32:38] Was the last time you saw a Dumbo?

[01:32:40] I never did.

[01:32:41] Never did. Yeah.

[01:32:43] There's a song in it. There's a song in the very beginning of that movie that would not fly today.

[01:32:51] Yeah, a lot of Disney.

[01:32:52] Instant cancel.

[01:32:54] Instant, not even a question.

[01:32:56] There's a lot of stuff in Disney and Warner Brothers stuff that you see now and you're

[01:33:00] like, how did that get a bye back in the day?

[01:33:03] Yeah, because a lot of Disney movies

[01:33:05] that I either hadn't seen in a long time

[01:33:07] or had never seen have been coming up

[01:33:08] over the past couple of years

[01:33:09] with my daughter being around.

[01:33:11] And I've learned some things about old Disney.

[01:33:17] Well, yeah, it's like you grow up and you're like,

[01:33:19] you hit that point of adulthood

[01:33:21] where like you get all of those subtle jokes

[01:33:24] they would put into children's stuff

[01:33:25] to basically for the parents to get one every now and then. Yeah. Yeah, the beginning of that

[01:33:36] Dumbo movie did not age well at all. It's pretty racist. If you know, you know. There's a lot of racism in old films like that.

[01:33:47] Yeah, but this one was like really explicitly racist.

[01:33:50] Yeah, like not even any way to fucking like even make an argument against it.

[01:33:55] Like, yeah.

[01:33:58] I don't know which was worse, Disney or Warner Brothers,

[01:34:01] because they were both pretty bad.

[01:34:03] Yeah.

[01:34:10] We've gotten much better over time, but my God. Yeah, for sure.

[01:34:13] So what's like,

[01:34:14] what are some of your go-to feel good movies?

[01:34:17] Like, you know, you just want to put something on

[01:34:18] to just kind of like, you're having a bad day,

[01:34:20] you just want to throw something on,

[01:34:21] that'll make you feel good.

[01:34:25] If I'm ever like having a bad day and I need just something stupid to watch,

[01:34:29] I'll put on like Days of Thunder or something like that.

[01:34:33] That's that that's like the original NASCAR movie. OK.

[01:34:37] It's basically Top Gun, but with NASCAR.

[01:34:40] All right. That's fair.

[01:34:42] It's just a cool story.

[01:34:43] Like it's basically a subtle.

[01:34:47] It's it's like it's based on it's heavily inspired on the story of the driver,

[01:34:52] Tim Richmond, and how he how he came to NASCAR.

[01:34:56] But it's just a cool like comeback story.

[01:34:58] Feel good story. There's a ton of Robert Duvall completely like steals the show.

[01:35:03] And that even though it's a Tom Cruise movie, Robert Duvall steals the show in that fucking movie

[01:35:06] the entire time, like with all of his scenes.

[01:35:09] That's a fun one.

[01:35:12] I'm trying to think, another feel good movie.

[01:35:17] If I ever need something like easy to watch

[01:35:21] that's like a good like kind of like junk food action movie

[01:35:24] I'll put on like Batman Beyond Return of the Joker. easy to watch that's like a good like kind of like junk food action movie up and I'm like

[01:35:27] Batman Beyond Return of the Joker

[01:35:30] That's a classic. That's a great movie

[01:35:33] Yeah, we were like touched too much on animated this so far

[01:35:38] Yeah, I was kind of trying to save the superhero stuff for like later because I figured that would be something we'd

[01:35:41] Hop on to yeah

[01:35:44] Yeah, that's another good one

[01:35:47] There's one other film that I like to put on when I'm. I just need a good movie.

[01:35:56] Well, I'm trying to think now.

[01:36:00] On Naruto the last I like to put on every now and then.

[01:36:03] That's a good one.

[01:36:04] That's a pretty good like.

[01:36:06] Yeah, I don't know if wholesome is the right word, but I mean it's because I mean, the

[01:36:10] ending is very wholesome.

[01:36:14] Yeah.

[01:36:15] Um, well, one of my go tos when I just want something that'll just make me feel good is,

[01:36:21] um, stand by me.

[01:36:22] You know, that's a great movie. I know I mentioned in a recent

[01:36:26] episode that I watched fried green tomatoes for the first time recently and that was a really

[01:36:30] good movie that like was one of those kind of like heartwarming type of stories.

[01:36:39] Trying to think, have you ever seen, I just remembered this movie today actually, when I was looking around trying to figure out stuff.

[01:36:47] Did you ever see radio?

[01:36:50] Radio.

[01:36:51] It's a true story, based on a true story.

[01:36:55] I'm not sure if I did.

[01:36:57] It's been a long time since I've seen it,

[01:36:58] so I don't remember it very well,

[01:37:01] but I remember I watched it a lot when I first saw it,

[01:37:04] because I liked it a lot.

[01:37:06] It was a very, very good movie.

[01:37:09] I can't remember a lot of the specifics,

[01:37:11] but it involved a mentally challenged guy

[01:37:13] getting involved in a, some sort of,

[01:37:16] getting involved in a football team in some way.

[01:37:18] I don't remember if it was like a coaching situation

[01:37:20] or something like that, but it was one of those kind of like,

[01:37:23] you know, you know, Donato's luck mentally challenged guy

[01:37:27] kind of rises up and finds his place, you know.

[01:37:32] And that was a really heartwarming movie.

[01:37:34] I need to watch that again.

[01:37:35] It's been way too long.

[01:37:40] You know, it's a movie that I think

[01:37:41] could have done a lot better,

[01:37:44] especially with the lead actor that they had for it.

[01:37:48] And I wish it had done really well because I loved the book version was

[01:37:53] Hearts in Atlantis.

[01:37:54] Okay.

[01:37:55] Have you ever seen that one?

[01:37:57] I have not, but I've heard of it.

[01:37:59] It's a, it was based on a Stephen King story called Low Men and Yellow Coats.

[01:38:03] And it's technically a dark tower story.

[01:38:11] Even though it's kind of like loosely connected. There's a

[01:38:14] that actually the character played by Anthony Hopkins makes

[01:38:17] an appearance in the dark tower books. Okay. But it's just, I

[01:38:22] don't know. I those kinds of like childhood stories,

[01:38:26] Stephen King's really good at writing about childhood.

[01:38:29] Which, you know, obviously it stand by me,

[01:38:33] Parsey and Atlantis, like those kinds of like

[01:38:35] childhood stories, he just understands childhood

[01:38:38] in a way that a lot of writers kind of lose, you know?

[01:38:42] A lot of people lose that along the way.

[01:38:44] And just for some reason he never did.

[01:38:48] So those kinds of stories that he writes

[01:38:50] always hit me in a certain way, for sure.

[01:38:55] I think another big feel good movie

[01:38:58] I love to put on is Your Name.

[01:39:01] That's one I still need to see.

[01:39:03] I know we were talking about that recently. Well,

[01:39:06] yeah, because the the frickin clickbait article that was going around about the the one of

[01:39:14] the producers of the film got caught with the CP. And they wrote it as like one of the

[01:39:23] creators and everyone was like, no, then it's like

[01:39:25] the immediately people were like, Oh, good. It's not, it's not Shinkai. Don't worry.

[01:39:29] It's one of the no name producers that doesn't really matter.

[01:39:33] Yeah.

[01:39:34] But still all the title, like fricking clickbait titles made it sound like it was like Shinkai.

[01:39:38] And everyone was like, no, not another one.

[01:39:40] Yeah.

[01:39:41] I don't know about that.

[01:39:44] It's kind of sad that I have to I have to say not another one.

[01:39:47] But yeah, no kidding. Yeah, your name is a big big one for me, though. That's probably my favorite

[01:39:53] anime film. Yeah. Panyo is another good one that I know. Oh, at this point, I've seen it way too

[01:40:00] much. But still, it's still one of those movies. It it's still good even though I'm sick of it at this

[01:40:05] point. One of my favorite parts about doing that Ghibli retrospective was getting to see The Wind

[01:40:12] Rises. The Wind Rises I think is my favorite Ghibli. It's honestly one of my favorite films

[01:40:18] of all time like that is such a great film. Yeah. We mentioned it already in passing, but The Iron Giant.

[01:40:28] The Iron Giant was such a good film.

[01:40:30] Yeah, that was good.

[01:40:31] And nobody watched it.

[01:40:33] That was one of my old times when I was a kid.

[01:40:34] I fucking loved that movie.

[01:40:35] I watched it so many times.

[01:40:37] The ending still, I don't, we always joke saying,

[01:40:41] I don't have a soul because I don't really cry.

[01:40:43] That is one of the few endings to a film that gets me emotional.

[01:40:47] Not enough to cry, but enough to at least like kind of like

[01:40:49] you get the lump in your throat kind of feeling.

[01:40:52] Oh, yeah, for sure.

[01:40:54] There's a lot of movies that affect me and that like there's a lot of movies

[01:40:57] to that didn't used to hit me that way.

[01:41:00] And now they do.

[01:41:02] I think it's just one of those things that age.

[01:41:04] Big one for me,

[01:41:06] I guess we can start transitioning into superhero films because there's just so many to talk about,

[01:41:10] but a big one for me that like always like gives me that lump in the throat is Death of Superman.

[01:41:17] The later one that they did not the original Superman Doomsday.

[01:41:22] not the original Superman doomsday.

[01:41:27] Yeah, I remember watching like the original Superman movie

[01:41:33] and maybe bits and pieces of that like Superman revival movie,

[01:41:36] you know, the woman's like the iconic bullet in the eye

[01:41:39] that crumples up thing.

[01:41:41] Yeah.

[01:41:43] But aside from that,

[01:41:44] I don't really have much experience with Superman

[01:41:47] movies. So Death of Superman, that's the animated one. Okay. It's part of the that animated

[01:41:54] universe that they were doing for a while, like, like with Son of Batman and a, okay.

[01:42:01] They adapted the Death of Superman storyline and like that the the two it's a two parter.

[01:42:06] It's death of Superman and the reign of the Superman.

[01:42:10] The ending of death of Superman just fucking gets me every time because it's like it is

[01:42:14] they it's really they there's I don't think they've ever truly captured how like iconic

[01:42:21] the actual comic was but that scene but But the way they did it in the,

[01:42:26] the death of Superman film, so well done.

[01:42:29] Like it hits you just super hard.

[01:42:31] Cause you're like, damn.

[01:42:33] Yeah.

[01:42:34] That was rough.

[01:42:35] Even though you know, he's coming back in the next film.

[01:42:37] It's like, it's still hits you like, holy shit.

[01:42:40] Yeah. That's fair.

[01:42:43] Trying to think I,

[01:42:44] I'm most of the ones from that, that run of animated movies I watched were usually Batman movies.

[01:42:50] There's a few other ones that I saw like this in the Flashpoint movie, which I like that one a lot.

[01:42:56] I hated the art style in that fucking movie, though. That was my biggest problem with it.

[01:43:00] Yeah.

[01:43:02] Well, then I hate it. This is getting into comics, but I absolutely

[01:43:06] hate Flashpoint. Just not for the story itself. The story is very good. I just hate what it

[01:43:12] led to. Yeah. I mean, it just kind of like it's a cheap way to just reset and just do

[01:43:18] different things that then especially because in hindsight we realized how bad the new 52 was. Yeah.

[01:43:27] Well, I mean, there's the there's the old Tim Burton Batman movies.

[01:43:31] Those are still Batman 89 and Batman Returns still hold up to me.

[01:43:36] I mean, those even just like the two that came after that, too.

[01:43:40] Like it was crazy how many different actors they were pulling for these movies.

[01:43:46] Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, like Michael Keaton, I still think is my favorite Batman.

[01:43:49] Yeah, that's that's what I think of.

[01:43:51] But I think live action Batman.

[01:43:53] He just was so good in the role.

[01:43:55] Like he he really kind of had that done, even though Batman and Batman 89

[01:43:59] is like a terrible Batman when you think about it.

[01:44:01] You just fucking throws people off roofs and like kills people left and right.

[01:44:05] It's like, holy shit.

[01:44:06] The goddamn wing cape thing that he does like every five minutes.

[01:44:12] He just fucking throws the cape up like wings every five minutes.

[01:44:15] Like that is when I watch that movie.

[01:44:18] I realized how often he did it.

[01:44:20] It was just so ridiculous.

[01:44:21] That that's a movie that like you really got to like

[01:44:24] take away all your knowledge of Batman

[01:44:27] and like you're and just look at look at it face value and it makes it so much better

[01:44:32] because like to me one of the most ridiculous scenes is the scene where like Batman's coming

[01:44:35] in on the bat wing and then like the Joker pulls out that single revolver and just shoots

[01:44:43] it down with one shot.

[01:44:49] I mean, Jack Nicholson nailed that role like the Joker.

[01:44:53] The Joker is such an interesting role because like it is such an easy role to screw up like we learned with the suicide squad.

[01:44:58] Yeah, for in Jared Leto.

[01:45:00] But most times more than not, like they they got it mastered, the people who play him.

[01:45:09] Cesar Romero, the classic TV series one was great.

[01:45:14] He was a great comedy joker, didn't even shave the mustache, just painted over it.

[01:45:18] He refused to shave the mustache.

[01:45:22] Jack Nicholson was great.

[01:45:23] He was really good at it. Jack Nicholson was great. He like he was really good at as a dark

[01:45:26] joker and then uh I mean Heath Ledger just like he's like the ultimate dark joker. Just sadistic

[01:45:34] like I'm gonna make this pencil disappear. It's like holy shit. I fucking love that scene the

[01:45:40] first time I watched it like that was just like this is this is the shit right here. I love this.

[01:45:44] Like when he burns all the money he's like it's not about the money. It's about sending a message.

[01:45:50] Yeah. He got too into that role, though, I'm convinced.

[01:45:55] Yeah, a lot of people have speculated that that's kind of like what caused his death.

[01:46:00] Yes. Getting too absorbed into that. Because actually, there's actually there's a clip you can find on YouTube

[01:46:07] or the internet.

[01:46:08] I don't know if it's still on YouTube or not,

[01:46:09] but it's a scene of,

[01:46:12] it was Jack Nicholson walking down like some steps from some,

[01:46:16] he's doing some sort of event or whatever.

[01:46:17] And someone came up and told him about,

[01:46:20] he's led to his death.

[01:46:22] And he just kind of like shakes his head a little bit

[01:46:24] and he goes, I warned him.

[01:46:26] Yeah.

[01:46:27] So it's just like one of those like speculatory things.

[01:46:30] Like it's just something about playing the Joker

[01:46:33] and something about playing somebody that tapped.

[01:46:35] I still think it does something to you.

[01:46:38] I mean, great film, but like Joaquin Phoenix,

[01:46:42] holy shit, that movie is deep.

[01:46:47] I haven't seen it.

[01:46:48] Oh, you still haven't seen the Joker movie?

[01:46:50] No, I haven't.

[01:46:51] I won't spoil it, but my God, that is a dark movie.

[01:46:54] Yeah, it's, but it's just one of those things,

[01:46:57] like the Joker's one of those characters

[01:46:58] that just fucking, like, it's kinda like,

[01:47:11] I don't know how familiar you are with Nightmare on Elm Street. I know.

[01:47:12] I've seen a couple of them.

[01:47:13] Well, there was this whole thing.

[01:47:16] Have you ever seen Wes Craven's New Nightmare?

[01:47:18] I've only seen clips of it.

[01:47:20] I've never seen the whole thing in full.

[01:47:22] Well, the whole concept of that movie is,

[01:47:31] um, I was really into nightmare and I'm sure for a point in my teenage years, um, but there was, uh, the whole idea of that movie was it took place in like the real world kind of. Yeah. Where it was

[01:47:38] the actress from the first movie and she was herself in the movie. And like, you know, she

[01:47:45] was going to having conversations with Wes Craven and

[01:47:47] with I'm blanking on his name. The original actor for Freddy

[01:47:54] Krueger.

[01:47:59] Good question.

[01:48:00] I don't know why I'm blanking. I feel like an idiot. I used to watch those movies all the time.

[01:48:12] But the whole concept was like the real world or whatever. And it was one of those whole the demons

[01:48:17] that we believe in kind of manifest and take shape.

[01:48:21] And they kind of assume the visage of whatever.

[01:48:28] Robert England.

[01:48:29] Yeah.

[01:48:30] They kind of like the real demons kind of take the visage, the raiment of what people

[01:48:38] tend to fear the most.

[01:48:42] And in that movie, like the context of it was at the time,

[01:48:46] Freddy Krueger was the one.

[01:48:48] So the demon manifested itself as Freddy Krueger

[01:48:51] was doing Freddy Krueger shit, the real world.

[01:48:55] And that's kind of the way I look at some of these roles

[01:48:58] like the Joker, where it affects people

[01:49:00] on that mental state when they get really,

[01:49:03] when they let themselves get lost in the role,

[01:49:06] it affects them on a certain level that just.

[01:49:10] Well, that's why I still think to this day,

[01:49:12] the best joker that there's ever been was Mark Hamill.

[01:49:15] Cause he just never got lost in the role.

[01:49:17] Yeah. Well, I think that's part of it with voiceover.

[01:49:20] You kind of have a little bit of that disconnect.

[01:49:23] True. He, like there's just something about Mark Hamill's performance,

[01:49:28] though, that like to me is like when you think the Joker, I just think that voice.

[01:49:33] Mm hmm. Yeah, me too.

[01:49:35] Like and that laugh, the laugh like it's actually a combination of things.

[01:49:41] It's Mark Hamill's voice combined with Kevin Conroy's Batman.

[01:49:46] Yes, for sure. Like those two just like worked so well together, like to the point where like

[01:49:51] before he passed away, I remember there was a long point of time where like

[01:49:56] Mark Hamill had retired from the role, but like he would come out of retirement if like it was

[01:50:02] like a Kevin Conroy role, he'd be like, oh, is Kevin doing it?

[01:50:05] Okay, I'll do it too.

[01:50:07] Yeah.

[01:50:08] Yeah, it was definitely,

[01:50:09] it was a matter of getting Kevin.

[01:50:11] They were basically buddies in real life at that point.

[01:50:14] Yeah, I mean, you can't work as somebody for that long

[01:50:17] and not end up having some sort of good relation with them.

[01:50:21] The coolest thing ever was when the CW did that whole like crisis on

[01:50:25] Infinite Earths special and they actually had like evil Bruce Wayne at one point who was like

[01:50:33] an older man and they actually got Kevin Conroy to play him in real life. Really? I need to catch

[01:50:39] up on the Arrowverse. He got to play Bruce Wayne in real life once and it was perfect.

[01:50:46] That's awesome. See that's the thing. I love Mark Hamill in the in the Flash series.

[01:50:52] All right. Yeah. Somebody played the trickster. He's basically just doing the Joker but in real

[01:50:56] life. Yeah. That Flash that Flash series was really good. I just I'm not a huge Barry Allen

[01:51:02] fan. I'm more of a Wally West guy. Well, I mean, Wally West becomes a part of the show eventually.

[01:51:07] It's the other Wally West.

[01:51:09] It's not the original one.

[01:51:11] Yeah, well, I don't know.

[01:51:13] I enjoyed the series for what it was.

[01:51:15] Yeah, it's fine.

[01:51:17] I'm a stubborn 90s Flash fan.

[01:51:19] I love that era of Flash.

[01:51:21] I understand that.

[01:51:23] It's kind of like how I look at it the

[01:51:27] same way as Final Fantasy is I don't have that kind of attachment to it. That's fair.

[01:51:30] People who grew up with the comics and stuff. See, I'm like, it's kind of like with like

[01:51:36] Green Lantern, where like, I'm always like, I, they always use Hal nowadays. But like,

[01:51:41] whenever I think of Green Lantern, I still think John Stewart because he was in Justice League or even uh even Kyle Rayner because he was the comic book

[01:51:50] Green Lantern for the longest time. Yeah. Um yeah I still have this like faint hope in my mind that

[01:51:58] one day we'll get a live-action Batman Beyond movie and um did you see that like thing going

[01:52:04] around?

[01:52:07] I want Michael Keaton to be the old Gristle Bruce Wayne,

[01:52:10] especially now that especially now that Adam West is dead.

[01:52:13] I know. Did you ever see

[01:52:15] there was that trailer going around? I guess like the studio that did like Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse.

[01:52:20] They actually made a like proof of concept Batman Beyond film

[01:52:23] that Warner Brothers basically like was like, this is awesome, but it will never happen.

[01:52:30] But why though, because one of others is annoying Batman Beyond is like my favorite version of Batman I don't know if that's controversial to say but I fucking loved Batman Beyond.

[01:52:40] I wouldn't a lot of people like Batman Beyond Batman because he it's basically spider-man Batman. Yeah, it has so much potential

[01:52:48] It could have gone so much further than it did

[01:52:50] It was I think the problem is DC and Warner Brothers just doesn't know what the fuck to do with them and beyond

[01:52:56] It's just it's just Batman. I mean shit you could you could just set it today

[01:53:02] Because the original Batman was like kind of like 60 70s like that's kind of when it

[01:53:07] took place it was you could easily just set it today. They've tried to do a Batman Beyond

[01:53:13] Comic for years now and like every time they do it it's always they they over complicate it so

[01:53:18] much to the point where it's just so not fun to read. I don't know it's whatever happened to the

[01:53:24] original writers of the series,

[01:53:25] you just get them.

[01:53:27] Oh, God knows what they're doing now.

[01:53:29] I don't know.

[01:53:30] I'm just saying it has a lot of potential

[01:53:32] and you got to fucking take advantage of it.

[01:53:34] Do it now while we still have some of those old Batman actors

[01:53:37] that can fucking play old grizzled Bruce Wayne.

[01:53:40] See, what always makes me laugh is Terry.

[01:53:44] Terry McGinnis was played by Will Friedel from Boy Meets

[01:53:49] World of all things.

[01:53:53] He was also Ron Stoppable and Kim Possible, which to me is always hilarious.

[01:53:58] Jesus.

[01:53:59] Among many other roles.

[01:54:02] He was in a house moving castle as well.

[01:54:04] Oh, no kidding. He played in a house moving castle as well.

[01:54:05] Oh, no kidding.

[01:54:06] He played one of the sketchy guards

[01:54:07] at the start of the film.

[01:54:08] Was it Mark Hamill in that too?

[01:54:11] Or Mark, he was the castle in the sky, right?

[01:54:13] He was in castle in the sky.

[01:54:15] You're thinking of a Christian Bale.

[01:54:18] Oh, okay.

[01:54:19] He was in a house moving castle.

[01:54:22] I gotcha.

[01:54:23] He was Hal.

[01:54:24] Actually, were both of them in The Boy and the

[01:54:27] Heron? Yes. Yeah. Still gotta watch that. It was a good movie. It was bizarre. I've heard.

[01:54:33] It was bizarre at points, but I mean, it's a Ghibli movie, so you kind of have to expect that.

[01:54:38] You know who a great Joker was? Who's that? John DiMaggio, under the Red Hood.

[01:54:43] Who's that John DiMaggio in under the Red Hood?

[01:54:48] I have that movie on DVD, but I haven't watched it yet.

[01:54:50] I didn't know he played the Joker. He it's the most uncanny thing the first time you hear it,

[01:54:54] but he does such a good job.

[01:54:56] I believe that.

[01:54:57] I bet he could do a good job with that.

[01:55:00] Um, yeah, he was in a he was Joker under the Red Hood.

[01:55:04] Batman was played by Bruce Greenwood,

[01:55:06] who I think is like my second favorite Batman,

[01:55:10] like behind Kevin Conroy.

[01:55:11] He just like has a great voice for that character.

[01:55:15] I gotcha.

[01:55:16] Like he was so good in that movie

[01:55:17] that they brought him back for Young Justice.

[01:55:21] Yeah, I didn't ever watch Young Justice,

[01:55:23] but I always heard good things about it.

[01:55:25] I always heard that it was like Teen Titans

[01:55:26] as it should have been.

[01:55:29] I mean, they're different,

[01:55:32] they're different groups entirely comic wise.

[01:55:35] Teen Titans was very clearly they wanted to make an anime.

[01:55:39] Yeah, well, I mean, it was definitely very anime inspired.

[01:55:43] The creator of Teen Titans, I should say,

[01:55:45] wanted to make an anime.

[01:55:46] Yeah.

[01:55:50] But yeah, aside from that, I mean,

[01:55:51] I remember growing up on the original

[01:55:55] Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies.

[01:55:57] I still love those movies, even though my favorite is like

[01:56:00] whenever they cut back to scenes of Peter in high school,

[01:56:04] and then you got the very clearly 40 year old woman playing in high school or in the background.

[01:56:09] I love shit like that. Like that's funny to me.

[01:56:12] Is one of the two thousand things that just always happened. Nineties,

[01:56:18] Spider-Man one and two are classic. I even like Spider-Man three, even though it had too many

[01:56:22] villains in it. Yeah, they definitely they were trying to do too many things in Spider-Man 3,

[01:56:27] but they did not need Venom in that movie. Like that movie would be so much better if it was

[01:56:31] just Spider-Man and Sandman. True. But first of all, I understand why they wanted to put him in

[01:56:36] there because he's such an iconic Spider-Man villain, and he wasn't in either of the previous

[01:56:40] movies. And if they were only intending to do three movies, then now was the time.

[01:56:46] Well, they were going to do a fourth movie

[01:56:48] and then Sam Raimi quit.

[01:56:50] Yeah.

[01:56:52] But I will say now that I'm of an age where I realize

[01:56:57] that Eric Foreman is Venom, I think

[01:57:00] that's pretty fucking hilarious.

[01:57:03] Yeah.

[01:57:08] My favorite part of that movie is Peter Strudden down the street in his emo walk.

[01:57:10] That's still my favorite.

[01:57:11] Billy McGuire and I loves to come with it.

[01:57:14] Jerry McGuire is my favorite Peter Parker, even though he's like

[01:57:17] he was too old for the role then.

[01:57:21] I still like it.

[01:57:22] Like I still love Spider-Man Far From Home.

[01:57:26] I think it's either Far From Home or No Way Home.

[01:57:29] I know I am. I was newest one, I think.

[01:57:32] I haven't seen any of the new Spider-Man movies because I.

[01:57:35] Yeah, the MCU is such a fucking.

[01:57:38] Yeah, it sucks because if there's one movie you want to see,

[01:57:40] you have to watch like fucking 20 movies to get to it, to have the context

[01:57:44] to understand what's going on. Yeah. Whichever one was the one that brought back like all the

[01:57:49] Spider-Man's in one film. Yeah, that was that was the newest one. Yeah, so No Way Home, I think.

[01:57:56] Yeah. That one I love just because like, Jerry McGuire and Andrew Garfield stole the show in

[01:58:03] that film. Hmm.

[01:58:05] Like Andrew Garfield, like straight up like redeemed himself

[01:58:08] from the Amazing Spider-Man movies.

[01:58:10] Yeah, for sure.

[01:58:11] And then just awkward like adult Peter McGuire show Peter McGuire.

[01:58:16] That's his name.

[01:58:17] Jerry McGuire showing up was great.

[01:58:20] Yeah, I was I was definitely that and William Defoe back as a green goblin.

[01:58:27] That needed to happen for sure.

[01:58:29] There was no way they could start bringing back

[01:58:31] all the Spider-Man and all the villains.

[01:58:33] Bringing him back.

[01:58:35] The guy who played Doc Ock was great.

[01:58:40] They got like pretty much all those guys back

[01:58:42] and they all, I love that they all had redemption arcs.

[01:58:46] In that movie?

[01:58:47] Yeah.

[01:58:48] Oh, that's cool.

[01:58:49] Did they bring back James Franco?

[01:58:52] I don't think he came back.

[01:58:54] It was only the ones that appeared.

[01:58:57] Oh, that's a bummer.

[01:59:00] James, that was like James Franco's breakout role.

[01:59:03] Yeah, as..., as Harry Harry.

[01:59:08] Harry.

[01:59:09] Yep.

[01:59:09] Otherwise blanking for a second there.

[01:59:12] But that's like, that's what I know him from.

[01:59:14] Like I've seen him in so many movies since then.

[01:59:16] But like that, that was the first thing that like, oh, I know that guy.

[01:59:19] He's in Spider-Man.

[01:59:21] Yeah. Yeah.

[01:59:23] Those are classics.

[01:59:24] I still remember Spider-Man 2 just because like that game I think

[01:59:28] still persists like into this day. I think uh because I've

[01:59:33] seen uh my son playing the new Spider-Man 2 and I definitely

[01:59:36] intend to get to it at some point um because it looks really

[01:59:40] fun. Um but I I think they took a lot from that original Spider-Man 2 game for PS2.

[01:59:47] That was still like the best web slinging in a game for the longest time.

[01:59:53] But it just made so much sense. That was just part of what made the game so much fun. Oh yeah.
