(00:00):
Math. You see this, youhear about this. But in the ocean
blue orca is gone wild. Theyhave been attacking ships pods of orcas,
mind you, attacking ships off ofthe coast of Scotland, boat races near
Spain. Of course, they've alwaysbeen running havoc in the Pacific Northwest.
Let me ask you, this isthis man's greatest threat? No, of
(00:23):
course, not something that can't walkon two feet on land is not man's
the greatest threat. However, there'sno I mean, there's a reason why
they were named killer whales. Doyou want that reason? Sure? This
is according to Sea World, soit has to be fucking real. Killer
whales gained their common name because ofthe types of prey. Of course,
(00:45):
they will prey on larger whales,and once they were called killer whales by
sailors who witnessed them attacking a largerseats seat tissus. I don't know what
that word is. It seems likea word that was made up by Sea
World because they're trying to cover thingsup. Over time, the name gradually
switched and just stayed with them killerwhales. Even though not whales, they
(01:10):
are dolphins. They are essentially thewolves of the sea, wolf backs of
the sea. And it's funny howfond we think about about these animals as
opposed to wolves. I like,there's no winning against a pot of orcas,
Like no, unless you guess,I guess you. Unless you are
you gonna shoot the whales like you'rejust doomed against seven. Then your only
(01:36):
chance is befriending them, right,Well, I don't know if that's possible.
I don't know if it's possible,but I think that's your only chance.
If you are out deep enough wherean orca is out there, like
you know, messing with your icebergor your boat, you don't got no
chance unless they want to give youa ride back to land. I've always
been fucking real sketched out by theseorcas. Good because you can't trust anything
(01:56):
that has a floppy dorsal fin likethat. In the wild, they don't
have floppy dorsal fins. They goterect ones. Ah, you don't know
that they only got the flops whenthey're at sea World. I don't agree.
It's only when they're depressed. Well, I mean, have you seen
an older photo flipper? Can Ifinish? Can I finish? Have you
(02:17):
ever seen an older photo of Flipperafter he has gone through the ringer of
television for years. He's got areal flaccid fin. Listen, I don't
need Shamu out here singing. Iwrite sins, not tragedies. That it
is clear. I'm even more scaredof the ones that are captive because they
might lash out at least the onesthat are out swimming in the ocean or
(02:38):
can just leave and do whatever thehell they want. I don't want anything
to do with orcas. They cancommunicate with each other, they can plan
attacks also, and I believe youknow I've already talked with you about this.
I'm an ocean boy. I dolove the ocean. But even for
someone that love I like the seawater. I like the feeling of the waves
(02:59):
crashing upon me. Let me justsay this, I don't like salt water.
Even as someone who loves the ocean, I don't go beyond like my
lower rib cage, I don't wantto know what's happening out there. Yeah,
when I was to my waist whenI was in the Philippines, we
went to lagoons and other ocean partswhere I was diving into. I don't
(03:19):
know fifty feet of ocean, andas soon as I would hit in there,
I would immediately hop out because youdon't know what the fuck is beneath
you. Give me a lake,give me a river, give me a
stream, give me a pond.I just I'm all set with the ocean.
But you're you don't. You're afake ocean guy. If you say
you love the ocean, I'd onlygo up to your rib cage. You're
not. I'm not a surfer ornothing. You're not an ocean guy.
(03:40):
I'm an ocean guy. I lovethe seawater. When I eat clams,
I don't even fucking clean them off. I just scarf from down. Fake
ocean guy. Yeah, just three. King of Queen Street Entertainment. Yeah,
(04:15):
and I'm Mac and we are theMac and Goo Program. We are
slowly transitioning into an animal attack podcast. Well listen, we gotta we gotta
run over every possible scenario there ison this earth, so eventually we'll cover
it all. And I mean,animals fascinate me. I'm a lot like
Brian Fellows. Yeah, but you'reyou're fascinated in a scared way. Oh
(04:35):
my god, I am, likeI love to learn about bees, but
I hate bees and but never talk. Um, yeah, you are,
you're a bit of a scaredy cat. I'm I'm a little less scared only,
but that's only because, um like, for my secondary job for years,
I was a crawling under porches dealingwith dead bodies of animals. Though
(04:58):
I'm not as a friend, Iwill say this though, for someone who
lives in a place called rat City, I have no issues with rice or
not rice, with mice or rats. Well, yeah, because you could
just punt those things. That's notthose aren't really you know, scaly.
Yeah, like when I see micepoop in my house, I'm like,
God, damn fiful. Are youready for today's topic? Man? I
(05:20):
guess so, I don't know hasno idea what this topic is. I
stumbled upon something the other day thatI thought was quite interesting, and I
said, I'm not going to tellMac what it is because he might poop
poo me and I would rather justget him on camera. I'll get his
general reaction when I throw it athim. But before we do that,
Mac, can we play a littlegame of goose clues to see if you
(05:40):
can figure out what the topic is? All right? Sure? Yeah?
Goo about a week ago told mean episode idea and that I could come
as nailed in Max. So Isaid, sign me up. I just
gonna come with a can do attitude. And Goo also told me I might
have to do some math today.There's no real math. That's just tally
tally tallying up. All right.The first clue is this episode is an
honor of Barbie v. Oppenheimer.Barbie v Oppenheimer. So it sounds like,
(06:03):
all right, summer movie, somethinglike that summer Blockbusters. Okay,
all right. The second clue isa calendar with a circle around a date.
Oh, so like June twenty firstmovies or June twenty eighth movies,
July July twenty first, July twentyeight, something like that. Am I
getting hotter? You're getting kind ofhotter but also quite a bit off?
(06:24):
Oh all right? And then thethird clue is box office comparisons. All
right, so we're gonna be comparingmovies that came out on the same weekend
overrehoh, sit down, and you'rethinking, Charon, think, think thang,
because when you do your part,you take a step out of time
and you can do anything that youwanna do. Today's topic is movies released
(06:48):
on the same day. I havea listen about fifteen ish movies. I'll
be reading them off to Mac.And what I'll be asking you for,
Mac is who won the weekend?Who had better box office weekend? Who
had the better box office through theirentire run at said time let's say original
(07:08):
time? And then also, whodo you think has the bigger and longer
cultural impact between the two movies?Okay, that that third question season more
reasonable because the first two seems likethe number value would tell you who the
winner was. No, like thefirst one. Is this you guessing who
won the weekend? Who had abetter weekend? Got? Gotcha? So
you'll be keeping tally of that.Don't keep tally of your cultural winner.
(07:28):
That's just your opinion. You're notgonna tell me if I get it right
or wrong until the end. No, I'll tell you right or wrong as
soon as you guess gotcha? Okay, why would you be writing down answers?
But let's go back and check yourredzins. Well that's what I thought.
I thought you had a red penout. How figure are we going
back here? Nineteen eighty two wasthe first one, all right? Reasonable,
but these are all big name movies. These are classic movies. Is
(07:50):
eighty two ET and something else?Well ET was in the theater at the
same time as these movies. Itlooks like, you know movies. Are
you ready for the first one?Mac? Yeah, lay it on here.
What's up? Yes, chronological,and then I'll try and do it
in alphabetical order based off of thename. I also might not have I
(08:11):
don't know. I forget what Idid. It was last Friday, so
Mac, in honor of Barbie V. Oppenheimer. The episode today is movies
released on the same day, andthe first date on the board is June
twenty fifth, nineteen eighty two.What were you doing on this day?
Uh? This was just under sevenyears prior to my birth, which means
(08:35):
my parents were teenagers, both ofthem, I think, So. I
wonder they were probably doing some somestuff that shouldn't have been doing, especially
your dad, Yes, especially mydad. Can you ask me? Can
you actually ask your dad after thispodcast what he was doing on June twenty
fifth, nineteen eighty two, Iwill text you his respect. The first
movie up is Blade Runner and thething so interesting? All right, So
(09:03):
horror movies never do well at thetheater. But I do know that Blade
Runner got more popular as the yearswent on. It was more of a
cult classic than it was a smashedsuccess in the theaters. So I think
clearly the thing made more money.You are incorrect, Mark one wrong.
Damn the thing lost a Blade Runner. The thing actually finished eighth in the
(09:26):
box office with three point one milliondollars, finished behind Rocky three and it's
fifth week, the Wrath of conand it's fourth week, Annie and it's
sixth week, and Poultrgeist and it'sfourth week. Blade finished second at the
box office with six point one million, just behind ET in its third week
at the theater. Wow, I'mstunned that Blade Runner. You know what,
(09:48):
maybe you know what I didn't factorin here is, of course,
horror movies were a thing in theearly eighties, but Blade Runners capitalizing on
the Star Wars community. That's whatI That's what I didn't take into consideration.
All right, over one, Whodo you think made more overall at
the box office? Well, ifBlade Runner made more initially, Blade Runner
(10:09):
had to make more. In thelong run. Blade Runner did make more,
but it also lost money on itsbudget. It had a budget of
about thirty million only made twenty fourat the box office, while The Thing
made almost twenty million on a budgetof ten to fifteen. Wow, but
neither really all that successful when youcan, I mean the Thing doubled up,
but still for movies that are consideredall time greats and they both Yeah,
(10:31):
do you think that both of theseare top five in their genre?
No? Not Blade Runner for me. I think you could make an argument
for the Thing. Yeah, I'mjust not a Blade Runner guy, which
is really interesting. And I talkedabout this when Blade Runner twenty forty nine
came out. Blade Runner twenty fortynine is one of my favorite movies of
the last ten years, maybe ofall time. And I don't even really
like the first Blade Runner all thatmuch. So bigger cultural impact you're going
(10:54):
the Thing? No, I thinkBlade Runner has a bigger cultural The Thing
is a better movie in my estimation, though. And if you were rating
say top ten horror movies versus topten Sci five movies, I might consider
the Thing on my list. Iprobably do have it in there on my
list. I wouldn't have Blade runnerundmy list. The Thing is also one
of the greatest remakes of all time, true dat true original nineteen fifty five,
(11:16):
maybe two or fifty five. Okay, it was in the first Halloween
movie though. Yeah, all right, Mac, let's go on to June
eighth, nineteen eighty four. Iwill also ask you at the end,
what do you think the best dayout of all of these are? By
the way, so just kind oftry and remember, I'll i'll refresh.
I'm tutting some notes, like,Okay, so nineteen eighty four, June
(11:39):
eighth, we have Gremlins and Ghostbusters. Wow. So Gremlins versus Ghostbusters,
Well, the thing was a betterhorror movie than Gremlins, even though Gremlins
isn't an outrut that has comedy involvedas well, Ghostbusters seems like the bigger
blockbuster. And I'm thinking, tolike marketing, how do you really market
(12:01):
Gremlins? So to me, it'sgot to be Ghostbusters here. So Ghostbusters
was the higher Ghostbusters was number oneat the box office, only thirteen point
five million, though Gremlins made twelvepoint five million. Wow, And actually
both of these movies had higher secondweeks word of mouth. Wow. Yeah,
I could see that. I couldsee that, especially Gremlins. Since
(12:22):
I just said you wouldn't really nota marketed so that would be for sure
more of a word of mouth thingyou market it. It's a movie long
run here, especially because Gremlins hassome holiday properties. I wonder if Gremlin's
made morigu is that your guess?That's my Guessike Spikes Mac are you stupid?
(12:43):
Wow? Ghostbusters ended up making twohundred and thirty and its original theatrical
run nineteen eighty four. That's amazingmassive, and then also two forty three
with its extra releases. That's sothat's not even including you know, DVDs,
March all that crap. And alsoonly had a budget of thirty million
dollars. I believe that. Yeah, how much did Gremlins end up making?
(13:05):
How far off? Not bad?Actually one hundred and fifty million domestic
on a budget of eleven that's forGrandlin's That's incredible. Yeah, this is
ten times it's budget. All right, let's go down to a date that
I know you love. These twomovies are at the top of your list.
June thirteenth, nineteen eighty six.Oh, this has got to be
Back to the Future. Back toFuture was eighty five, so you were
right with Back I thought you mighthave actually guessed this. I'm like,
(13:28):
Wow, that's amazing that you knewthis fucking release date back to School starring
Rodney Dangerfield, okay, one ofmy favorites of course Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Oh now this is interesting because Dangerfieldis a bigger, a much bigger
name than anyone in Ferris Bueller's DayOff at this time. So opening weekend,
I feel like it might have mademore, but then Ferris Bueller makes
(13:52):
more in the long run, I'mgonna go with back to School makes more.
First weekend, Back to School madealmost nine million, and it's opening
weekend, verus Farris Bueller's six pointthree And then what is your guest for?
Overall? Blown it out of thewater, really back to School?
This is only in theaters, Andof course Ferris Bueller's Day Off is like,
(14:13):
everyone fucking loves it, Everyone goesshots for it, everyone loves that
bag of mayonnaise. So the wordof mouth took forever. In eighty six,
I guess Back to School made ninetyone million at the box office on
a budget of eleven million. Doesthat not tell you how much of a
star Rodney Dangerfield was Because this movieis just danger Field. Yeah. It
also kind of tells you how moronicpeople were in nineteen eighty six. Oh
(14:37):
wow, that blows my mind.Ninety one million is a lot of fucking
money for a movie. That's okay, it's okay. I would have it
probably top four for danger Fields.But there's so like no, but there's
like a middle of like Dangerfield wherelike the tops are pretty funny, like
really funny movies, and then thebottoms are terrible. Yes, Rover,
danger Field, Ladybugs. How muchdid Ferris Bueller make in just over seventy
(15:03):
million? Wow? So more thantwenty million. Bunet five million though,
so little roy So that's the onethat was like the cult classic that ended
up Oh yeah, no, thatis I'll admit this. I'm not the
biggest fan of that movie, butyou know that's a huge, huge movie
with everyone still today. So anotherone split here, another one and one,
three and three so far, let'sgo on to this next one.
(15:24):
July fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight,just before the Birth of Our Lords.
That's us, that's me and youdie Hard verse. A fish called Wanda.
Fish called Wanda is a critical Darlingdie Hard I feel like I've heard
too much. See this almost feelslike a trick question. I've heard about
die Hard too much for it tonot be. But thinking about all the
(15:48):
conversations we've had about die Hard,some serious doubt around die Hard heading into
this movie because of the actor,no one believed in Bruce Willy. So
I'm gonna say a fish called Wandamade more in its first week. So
you were right when I said itwas a trick question, because this is
an absolute trick question. Both ofthese movies were released to limited theaters and
(16:10):
it's opening weekends. Yeah, soin it's opening weekend, Diehard only made
six hundred thousand dollars vers a fishcalled Wanda, which only made one hundred
and fifteen thousand dollars. Jesus.But now let's go to week number two
where Diehard. Everyone loved it.Everyone's like, this is great because everyone
had action movie fatigue. But thisturned it on its head, how the
(16:32):
turn tables and its second weekend madeseven point one million dollars and a Fish
called Wanda did not get a onethousand theater release until week five. Huh,
So this is kind of cheat andhere you kind of it is but
you guessed it. You said,this is a trick question. So Diehard
obviously made Wayne more and it's longrun. So another one and one split
(16:56):
here, But you absolutely, babysitter, absolutely fucked me. Here are correct?
Die Hard went on to make eightyfour million dollars domestic one hundred and
forty one point six worldwide on abudget of twenty eight million dollars. A
fish called Wanda eventually made sixty milliondollars. Listen, just to you know,
chime in about die Hard here.I know I'm not. I've been
(17:18):
staunched that Diehard is in a Christmasmovie and I will forever main are you
here to tell me that a fishcalled Wanda is? However, if you
guys remember when we reviewed die Hard. I liked that movie a lot.
Yeah, it's the first action moviethat you can really think of that didn't
have this big, massive muscly guy. It was an everyman as an action
hero. And that's why that moviekicks ass. Also the bad guys dope
(17:40):
shout out Hans Gruber. Yeah,alright, here we go. Let's go
to June twenty third, nineteen eightynine. We're both alive. Here we
go we're both at the theater onthis opening weekend. Mac Batman Batman First,
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.Now one is obviously a much more
(18:07):
family oriented movie, and that's amovie I watched on VHS one hundred thousand
times. Might have broke the VHS. Yeah, but for that reason,
because it was so rentable on VHS, I feel like it maybe didn't make
as much money. And even hearingme out, Batman also was available at
Blockbuster. It wasn't like the allyou can only see this in theater.
I fluster will never get this tape. I feel like with the name Batman
(18:30):
and Tim Burton attached to it,that that movie had to have made more
opening weekend. That is correct,Batman opening weekend made forty million dollars Number
one. Of course, summer ofnineteen eighty nine was referred to as the
summer of Batman. Honey, IShrunk the Kids, though a Disney movie
did make fourteen point two million dollarsin its opening weekend. One two at
(18:52):
the box office, Mac, whodo you believe made more in the long
run? Obviously Batman here, that'san easy one two hundred and fifty domestic
four eleven worldwide in nineteen eighty nineon a budget of thirty five million dollars.
Credit to Tim Burton. There,that's pretty good. That's that's a
lot. Making your full budget backon opening weekend is a hell of a
(19:15):
job. There. How much dida hon airstrike the Kids? Mate thirty
on a budget of eighteen that's reallygood? Yeah, yeah, that's really
good. Mac July twelfth, nineteenninety one. Where were you July twelfth,
nineteen ninety one, Great question,Probably raising hell somewhere? Hell yeah,
brother short brothers right there? Boysin the Hood verse point Break.
(19:41):
Oh, this is a good one. Boys in the Hood versus Point Break.
Boys in the Hood is a bettermovie. Point Break is more of
a blockbuster, more of a moviethat would would sell to a wider audience.
So I'm going to say Point Breakmade more opening weekend. Boys in
the Hood ten million dollars. PointBreak eight point four neither won the box
(20:06):
office, though Boys in the Hoodfinished third behind T two in its second
weekend, and number one at thebox office that weekend was the rerelease of
one hundred and one Dalmatians. Weas a People sucked in any One.
Not a great year for us.We've already said this. We don't love
(20:29):
nineteen ninety one. It's just funnythat the top movie on a good weekend
for movies one hundred and one Dalmatiansfrom ninety seven or something. Listen,
boys, I'd say Boys in theHood is an all timer. I wouldn't
say point break, but to someit is. That's three somewhat all time.
I mean T two is all timegreat movie, that's all time recognizable
movies. And one hundred and oneDalmatians beat off and that's T two and
(20:51):
it's second week, so it's notlike five weeks in fucking insane. Yes,
So who do you think had abetter run at the box office domestic?
I'll stick with Boys in the Hoodhere, since I didn't get it
right the first time. Boys inthe Hood fifty seven point five domestic on
a budget of six point five ROI, and then point Break forty three domestic
eighty three point five worldwide on abudget of twenty four. Okay, let's
(21:17):
move on to just one year later, the holiday season. Whoop do you
do? Hiboty dup? December eleventh, nineteen ninety two. What did you
ask for for Christmas? In ninetytwo. I was probably barely speaking at
this point. I'm trying to thinkmaybe Teddy Ruxman. I probably got a
Teddy Ruxman. Okay, all right, I think I got a Super Nintendo
as a family that was other ninetytwo or ninety one. So I'm play
(21:37):
as a three year old. I'mbetter than you, I'm smarter than you.
We have the Muppet Christmas Carol verseA Few good Men. It's a
Few good Men rated R. Ibelieve so, man. So I'm up
at Christmas Carol had to have wonopening. Really, I'm up at Christmas
(21:59):
Carol finished fifth, I'm sorry,sixth with only five million dollars. I
think this is around the time wherepeople started to get sick of the Muppets.
Okay, so it finished behind HomeAlone Too in its fourth weekend,
The Bodyguard in its third weekend,Aladdin in its fifth weekend, and a
Few good Men in its first weekendat fifteen point five million dollars. A
(22:21):
Few good Men is a star studdedcast, dude. Yeah, no,
I know, I know, I'mjust I was thinking maybe overthinking that one.
That is a loaded theater weekend.By the way, all time theater
weekend right there. Do you thinkthe people that were deciding on which movie
to go to, we're saying,am I a man? Or? Am
I a Muppet? Am I young? You know what happened there? Because
(22:44):
I didn't have all the context.All the Muppet people went to Aladdin.
If you combine a Laddin and Muppet, I would have beat die or a
nut die hard A few good men. If I'm a man, then I'm
a very manly muppet, a verymanley muppet. Who do you think had
a better run at the box officeoverall? Clearly A few good men?
That's correct. One hundred and fortyone domestic on a budget of forty one.
The Muppets made twenty seven point twoon a budget of twelve. Butts
(23:08):
the longer cultural impact. Um,the one line of you can't handle the
truth, probably when Gonzo says thatto Rizzo, Yeah, probably supersedes anything
from that Muppets movie. But it'snot that far off, right, No,
it's close, because this is it'skind of a cult's Christmas classic.
Now everyone has seen that movie forsure. All right, let's go on
(23:32):
in nineteen ninety five. What areyou doing in ninety five? November of
ninety five. I'm probably smashing myankle with a skippet um playing with loads
of Plato and six years old,I probably was playing Sega Genesis, maybe
Second Genesis, all right, Novembertwenty second, nineteen ninety five on one
(23:53):
end, Casino on the other end, Toy Story. Oh so this is
interesting because your natural inclination would beToy Story. But it's the first of
the Pixar movies, and I don'tknow if people would have had faith.
And I could also see people Idon't know, because we're just talking about
(24:15):
how people are stupid here, peoplesomehow being put off by the animation.
Initially it was a little wonky.I'm gonna go Casino here on opening weekend
made ten million dollars. Toy Story. I'll just give you what they made
in just the weekend, because ToyStory actually had a four day release because
it came out on that Wednesday,I believe, as opposed to the Thursday
(24:37):
night. It made twenty nine millionover the weekend, thirty nine overall in
the holiday weekend. Bang, that'sa massive weekend. So obviously Toy Story
then made more in the long run. You are correct, Toy Story made
first off, it made another thirtymillion in week two, another twenty million
in week nine, which is insane. I think that might be like the
(24:59):
Christmas week. That might be thereason why Holiday week, and then overall
it made two twenty three domestic almostfour hundred million worldwide on a budget of
thirty million. Toy Story was sosuccessful that they have literally bought themselves thirty
years. Now we are getting tothe end of the thirty years here where
they're going to have to rethink theirstrategies because now they're spending two hundred million
(25:21):
dollars on movies, and now thosemovies aren't making two hundred million dollars.
Casino ended up making forty two pointfive domestic one sixteen worldwide on a budget
of fifty two Do you think thatmovie had the issue of being compared to
Goodfellas? First a thousand percent peoplewould say poor Man, Goodfellas, or
we've seen this before. Casino isgreat, though, that movie is no
(25:42):
Casino is great. It's really long, though. Do you think that actually
it is long? I think theymight have had to show it one less
time in the theater because of itslength. Well, if you compare it,
what's Toy Story ninety minutes ninety fiveminutes, one hundred minutes compare seventy
one minutes three hours. So youcan showed double the amount of Toy Story
screens in the day that you canshow of Casino. Let's move on now
(26:04):
to another nineteen ninety five. It'sa hot year for movies being released on
the same day, December fifteenth,the holiday season. We have heat,
heats, okay, verse Jumongi.So if there were some fatigue with Casino,
the hats had to have been massiveheat or massive heat, massive fatigue
(26:27):
with heat and heat. I don'teven really like that much. I don't
know if anyone does, please tellme. Jumaji made more. Jumanji made
eleven million number one at the boxoffice, while Heat was seconds behind.
I'm sorry, it was third behindWeek four of Toy Story. Oh look
at that Toy Story still going,Story Story still hot. Who do you
(26:48):
think made more overall? Oh,Jumanji by a mile. Jumanji made one
hundred million and two sixty two worldwideon a budget of sixty five million.
Heat did make sixty seven point fivedomestic on a budget of sixty So that's
actually not very good. No,no, it's not, but you got
Michael Mann Bobby d LP, butof a cosmic gumbo. Let's wrap up
(27:14):
the decade. Let's go to nineteenninety nine, April second. What are
you doing in ninety nine? OnApril second? Pokemon? Oh, Pokemon
All Day, all the time?Cards, video games. I was probably
still dabbling in some PlayStation games,but no doubt in my mind, I
was crushing Pokemon on my Game BoyColor. I initially was a Pokemon Red
guy. I got stolen out ofmy bag at school at the Lowel School,
(27:37):
James Russell Ottle School, and thenmy mom had to buy me the
blue version because I was so jadedabout the red version. I was also
very deep into Pokemon trading cards atthis point. Did you already have him
a signal? I'm sure I did, No doubt in my mind I did.
If you ain't cheating, you ain'ttrying. My signal is the original
slaw right? Well, the RickCandy thing is yeah. I would say
(27:59):
of all the video game games I'veplayed, it's not even close that Pokemon
Blue is the game I have playedmost in my life. Just in that
year that it came out. Ithink it came out ninety eight, maybe
it was ninety nine. I probablyplayed that game over and over. I
probably completed that story fucking one hundredtimes that year, and probably at least
a hundred times since April second,nineteen ninety nine. Ten Things I Hate
(28:22):
About You verse the Matrix. It'sgotta be the Matrix. It's gotta be.
It's the Matrix. The Matrix madetwenty seven point eight million on that
weekend, butts Ten Things I HateAbout You finished seconds at eight point three.
Ten Things I Hate About You isstill a very enjoyable watch. It
perfectly encapsulates nineteen ninety nine and highschools like that, although we never even
(28:48):
remotely went to a high school thatlooked like that. But that is like,
if you asked me which movie I'drather watch today, I'd rather watch
Ten Things I Hate About You.Let me ask you, though, who
do you think made more with?They're a whole run at the theater.
I bet the Matrix tripled with TenThings I Hate About You made. I
mean, you're completely off on tripling. The Matrix made one seventy two domestic,
four sixty seven worldwide on a budgetof sixty three. Ten Things made
(29:11):
thirty eight domestic fifty three point fourworldwide on a budget of thirty, so
it quadrupled a lot more. Solet's say four sixty seven verse fifty five.
I mean, oh Jesus Christ,Yeah, twenty times seven whatever it
is, ten times dame out.Yeah, Mac, I've one more for
you. Okay, I'm by theway, I'm thirteen and seven so far.
(29:32):
I'm really closing strong here. That'sa good gambling record. Yeah,
that's not bad at all. We'remaking money. Here we go, Mac.
The final one here is from twentyo three, November seventh. What
do you ask for for Christmas?A PS two? Uh, yes,
that's the RPS two came out?Oh three, maybe might have been two,
might have been two? Mac,we have two Christmas classics, Elf,
(29:55):
Elf and Love Actually Love Actually Shit. That was a very successful movie,
and ELF I feel like made moremoney over the long run, and
maybe not initially, and Will Ferrellwasn't yet a bona fide movie star.
I'm gonna say Love Actually made morein the first week. Fuck Love Actually
(30:15):
made six point nine million, finishingsixth behind movies like Brother Bear and its
third week, Scary Movie three inits third week, and radio in its
third week, elk in radio.It lost to Radio, although it finished
second at the box office that weekendmade thirty two million opening weekend. It
didn't really that first weekend, Ifinish just behind the Matrix Revolutions. Oh
(30:41):
boy, that movie is dog shit. Wow. I thought Elf for sure
was one that made more in likeits third week than its first week.
Fucked me? Who do you thinkmade more overall? Obviously Elf? You're
correct. Elf made one seventy eightdomestic two twenty seven worldwide on a budget
of thirty three. While Love actuallywent on to make sixty domestic and two
(31:02):
forty five worldwide. Did I messit? Love actually did well? I'm
telling you that's what I thought.It did world on a budget of forty
Was it British? Well, it'sa It's an all time beloved rom con,
even though it's not nearly my favorite. I'm gonna toss this out there.
This is the first one I'm notconfident about. I feel like I
might have messed up two forty fiveseeds high. It does seem high.
(31:23):
You're probably probably actually no, itmakes sense, so it builts uh in
its weeks so week six it madenine million week eight. It made seven
million, eight six million, soit did what I thought Elf did basically.
Yeah, okay, so it builtOh and actually right around Christmas time
it made eleven point two. Makessense. It is a holiday, a
(31:44):
Christmas themed movie. So what wasyour record? I finished fourteen and eight
here good out of the eleven weekendsyou gave us fourteen and eight. I
didn't really catch stride till halfway through. I was about fifty fifty until halfway
through. You surprised me like sixor seven times here though, that's for
sure. I'm also curious for thepeople that were playing at home, even
though I forgot to ask you toplay at home? What were your records
(32:06):
too? And let me also askyou this mac what weekend pops out to
you as the best of the simultaneousrelease weekends? So I only forgot to
write one set down, which wouldbe June thirteenth, eighty six. So
we have the thing in Blade Runnereighty two that's gonna be a tough one
to beat, ghost Bushes and Gremlinsthat loses to the thing. What were
(32:28):
the two in eighty six? Eightysix was Back to School and Ferris Bueller's
Yeah, that doesn't win either.Die Harded a Fish called Wander is a
great combo, but not as strongas the question. Yeah, credits to
me, Batman and Honey, IShrunk the Kids. That's a good one,
right, That is a good onebecause I like since I don't love
(32:49):
Blade Runner, that probably personally wouldsupersede it. But Blade Runner and the
Thing is too iconic. Boys inthe Hood and Point Break doesn't win.
A few good men Muppets doesn't win. Toys Story and Casino. Actually,
that's pretty Give me Toy Story andCasino over the thing in Blade Runner.
I'm not talking monetarily here anyways,but you can give me an answer if
that's true. That beats Jumanji andHeat the Matrix and Ten Things About You
(33:13):
were two formative movies of my childhood. But I would still prefer Toy Story
and Casino. And because I don'tELP is probably my favorite movie out of
all of these. But I don'tlove I don't love love actually, I
don't actually love Actually. Um,that didn't make any sense. Now can
you try that again? That jokefucking flamed out? Crap. I can
(33:34):
cut that, don't worry, Yeah, fix that Postum, give me Toy
Story and Casino that would be Septemberor what was that? No, So
I'd be between most of these eightiesbattles, and I think the most balanced
is Ghostbusters in Gremlins maybe maybe Idon't know though, So you're just poop
(33:57):
pooing Sharon Stone and Casino, thenI'm not pooping Sharon Stone. I just
think that Toy Story walloped Casino overall, much like like I enjoy Batman and
Honey I shrunk the Kids, butBatman, uh, you know, with
his straight neck and Frankenstein like bodybeat the piss out of what's his name
there in the movie. I thinkwe're just we're answering the question differently here.
(34:21):
Yeah. Absolutely, But we've gotdifferent assignments. Dude. If we
talk about all time great fats orpeople that, um, you know,
helped us get along in certain days, do we underrate Sharon Stone between Total
Recall Fatal Attraction. She had agreat run. Yeah, I mean there's
(34:42):
a ten year span there where notmany people rival her. All right,
guys, so tell us your favoriteweekend of movies of movies that were released
at the same time. Also tellus what are you going to see first?
Barbie or Oppenheimer. Let's get intoMax and maxac could be anything that
(35:06):
could be a boat, and thisweek we are telling you to do it.
Just do it. Yeah, that'sour original saying. We came up
with that, that's ours. Andthen we go like this like a Disney
Channel original show. Dot dot Dana, I'm a really Hillary Duff, I'm
the I'm Miranda Lelane. Yeah,yeah, she I know in hers she
(35:28):
had a wife beat her on andlike a tie because she was trying to
be like Avril Levine. I don'tthink we're allowed to say wife beat her
anymore? Did you hear what?It's like three or four years old now,
and I think I'm allowed to saythis. But um, someone on
Nesson saw a player on the fieldwearing that and they referred to it as
a guinea ta oh, yeah,that's right, that's what he called it.
(35:49):
It was even worse. She butyes, it was even worse than
Should I bleep that out? AmI allowed to say that? No?
I thought, I don't know whoknows up run up by the upper ups
over there. I remember, uh, what was it warehouse eighteen? A
warehouse like nine or whatever that wasin the Building nineteen. Building nineteen,
you can buy carpets for fucking likeeight dollars. They ran an ad about
(36:09):
ten years ago that advertised wife beatersfor like two bucks, and they got
in big trouble. That sounds likesomething that Building nineteen would do. Yes,
exactly, Also Building nineteen. Thishas nothing to do with Building nineteen
or even what this topic is,but they had an ad. It was
someone who was blow drying their hair. Yeah, and my mother like drew
(36:32):
over it and made it look likea gun and that said, I'm gonna
do it. This really ties intoa topic here, do it? What
a full circle thing this was.Look at mama goo. My mother loved
to draw over advertising and like madeit into something else. Oh boy,
(36:52):
because that's what was fun when shewas kid. You know, there was
no internet. You either had todo this or play with a stick and
hoop outside. Yeah, or youwould draw on dollar bills. You would
change what George Washington was wearing.She has done that. Between those,
(37:13):
this is like a mount rushmore ofthings that my mother would do. It
that I was like when I wasa child. She would also put baby
carrots in her mouth and then actlike a walrus bugles on the fingers to
all bugles like a witch. Muststop it. Tell us what your mom
did? Guys, come on,okay, so once again do it.

one minute long and our comedy needsto breathe. We're if. If we're
anything, we're not brief. There'sno brevity. There is no brevity to
Mac and Coup. This is we'reat forty five minutes right now, when
we've talked about nothing, We've talkedabout no things, No, none at
all. We're gonna start the showin like five minutes. Actually, our
(39:29):
producer is giving us the green lightright now. Is there anything else social
media wise that we need to push. We've even done this in a while.
TikTok, do everything? Do it? Yeah? Follow Mac at Fleetwood,
jamac on all those He actually doesyou know his own thing. I'm
I'm not a real person. I'mjust what this brand is. Cops said
(39:50):
that you didn't matter. I don'tmatter, so all right, I guess
that covers our plugging portion of theshow. Anyways. So this is because
we prerecorded this a little bit abouttime. This is our July third slash
fourth episode. So I'm glad,I'm I'm glad you had a nice holiday,
guys. Yeah, I'm hoping ifyou're out shopping right now, or
if you're commuting to your Fourth ofJuly party, that we helped you out.
(40:13):
You know what, you have alittle bit of trivia for your Fourth
of July party. Now, Hey, did you know so and so made
more than so and so. It'sactually funny. The other day at work,
one of my co workers is like, Hey, did you know that
Batman was released on this day,and I'm like, yeah, but did
you know that Honey, I Shrunkthe Kid was also released on this day,
and I was met with silence.You have. They're like why this
(40:35):
guy's They're like, oh, whereare you going with that? And I'm
like, I just thought it wasa fun fact. I had nothing else
that was. That was the endof our conversation. I haven't talked to
that person since. Yeah. Oh, actually I have this last This is
the last little piece of this episode, and I thought this is pretty funny
and it made me think of youbecause it has to do with spite.
One of my co workers said thatthe only reason why she is still a
vegetarian is out of spite because asa teenager, her parents told her that
(40:59):
it was only a phase. Ido respect that, and you can get
appropriate nutrition via that diet. Iactually know a reformed vegan who tried her
darnedist. She was a vegan chefin fact. But your body just doesn't
respond that well to it. Youlive however you want. I don't care.
But if you want to talk theactual nutritional value in a vegan diet,
(41:22):
it's very little. Yeah, butlittle could spite drive you, though
I feel like it could. Ithink Spite is the greatest motivator on planet
Earth, all right, I reallybelieve that. So that'll do it for
us right now? Check us outnext week. I know I'll have a
dump maybe at the end of thisweek. Next week, maybe we'll do
a mix of the new Mission Impossiblemovie and Indiana Jones. I'm not sure
(41:45):
if I think Indiana Jones. AndI know that this is after the fact
because it already came out, I'mnot seeing that in theaters, but I
also think a lot of people aren't. I don't think it's going to do
well. That makes sense because Ithink and we kind of saw this with
the Flash, but gearing movies towardsolder men is not a good way to
make movies. And this is comingfrom the one percent of Crystal Skull fans.
(42:08):
Here's a huge Crystal Skull got interestedin this movie? Whatsoever? Like
when women ask Mac what his favoritesex act is and he says the Crystal
Skull and they're like, what excuseme? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
put this alien's head over your head. Have I put the stream mask over
yours? And then do you frombehind that's Keith's actually, but still well
(42:29):
all right, well, hey,Tuesdays for goose days, I use kangaroos.
By now it's time for girls jumpingon trampolines. Please flip the cassette
over to side B to continue theadventure.
Math. You see this, youhear about this. But in the ocean
blue orca is gone wild. Theyhave been attacking ships pods of orcas,
mind you, attacking ships off ofthe coast of Scotland, boat races near
Spain. Of course, they've alwaysbeen running havoc in the Pacific Northwest.
Let me ask you, this isthis man's greatest threat? No, of
(00:23):
course, not something that can't walkon two feet on land is not man's
the greatest threat. However, there'sno I mean, there's a reason why
they were named killer whales. Doyou want that reason? Sure? This
is according to Sea World, soit has to be fucking real. Killer
whales gained their common name because ofthe types of prey. Of course,
(00:45):
they will prey on larger whales,and once they were called killer whales by
sailors who witnessed them attacking a largerseats seat tissus. I don't know what
that word is. It seems likea word that was made up by Sea
World because they're trying to cover thingsup. Over time, the name gradually
switched and just stayed with them killerwhales. Even though not whales, they
(01:10):
are dolphins. They are essentially thewolves of the sea, wolf backs of
the sea. And it's funny howfond we think about about these animals as
opposed to wolves. I like,there's no winning against a pot of orcas,
Like no, unless you guess,I guess you. Unless you are
you gonna shoot the whales like you'rejust doomed against seven. Then your only
(01:36):
chance is befriending them, right,Well, I don't know if that's possible.
I don't know if it's possible,but I think that's your only chance.
If you are out deep enough wherean orca is out there, like
you know, messing with your icebergor your boat, you don't got no
chance unless they want to give youa ride back to land. I've always
been fucking real sketched out by theseorcas. Good because you can't trust anything
(01:56):
that has a floppy dorsal fin likethat. In the wild, they don't
have floppy dorsal fins. They goterect ones. Ah, you don't know
that they only got the flops whenthey're at sea World. I don't agree.
It's only when they're depressed. Well, I mean, have you seen
an older photo flipper? Can Ifinish? Can I finish? Have you
(02:17):
ever seen an older photo of Flipperafter he has gone through the ringer of
television for years. He's got areal flaccid fin. Listen, I don't
need Shamu out here singing. Iwrite sins, not tragedies. That it
is clear. I'm even more scaredof the ones that are captive because they
might lash out at least the onesthat are out swimming in the ocean or
(02:38):
can just leave and do whatever thehell they want. I don't want anything
to do with orcas. They cancommunicate with each other, they can plan
attacks also, and I believe youknow I've already talked with you about this.
I'm an ocean boy. I dolove the ocean. But even for
someone that love I like the seawater. I like the feeling of the waves
(02:59):
crashing upon me. Let me justsay this, I don't like salt water.
Even as someone who loves the ocean, I don't go beyond like my
lower rib cage, I don't wantto know what's happening out there. Yeah,
when I was to my waist whenI was in the Philippines, we
went to lagoons and other ocean partswhere I was diving into. I don't
(03:19):
know fifty feet of ocean, andas soon as I would hit in there,
I would immediately hop out because youdon't know what the fuck is beneath
you. Give me a lake,give me a river, give me a
stream, give me a pond.I just I'm all set with the ocean.
But you're you don't. You're afake ocean guy. If you say
you love the ocean, I'd onlygo up to your rib cage. You're
not. I'm not a surfer ornothing. You're not an ocean guy.
(03:40):
I'm an ocean guy. I lovethe seawater. When I eat clams,
I don't even fucking clean them off. I just scarf from down. Fake
ocean guy. Yeah, just three. King of Queen Street Entertainment. Yeah,
(04:15):
and I'm Mac and we are theMac and Goo Program. We are
slowly transitioning into an animal attack podcast. Well listen, we gotta we gotta
run over every possible scenario there ison this earth, so eventually we'll cover
it all. And I mean,animals fascinate me. I'm a lot like
Brian Fellows. Yeah, but you'reyou're fascinated in a scared way. Oh
(04:35):
my god, I am, likeI love to learn about bees, but
I hate bees and but never talk. Um, yeah, you are,
you're a bit of a scaredy cat. I'm I'm a little less scared only,
but that's only because, um like, for my secondary job for years,
I was a crawling under porches dealingwith dead bodies of animals. Though
(04:58):
I'm not as a friend, Iwill say this though, for someone who
lives in a place called rat City, I have no issues with rice or
not rice, with mice or rats. Well, yeah, because you could
just punt those things. That's notthose aren't really you know, scaly.
Yeah, like when I see micepoop in my house, I'm like,
God, damn fiful. Are youready for today's topic? Man? I
(05:20):
guess so, I don't know hasno idea what this topic is. I
stumbled upon something the other day thatI thought was quite interesting, and I
said, I'm not going to tellMac what it is because he might poop
poo me and I would rather justget him on camera. I'll get his
general reaction when I throw it athim. But before we do that,
Mac, can we play a littlegame of goose clues to see if you
(05:40):
can figure out what the topic is? All right? Sure? Yeah?
Goo about a week ago told mean episode idea and that I could come
as nailed in Max. So Isaid, sign me up. I just
gonna come with a can do attitude. And Goo also told me I might
have to do some math today.There's no real math. That's just tally
tally tallying up. All right.The first clue is this episode is an
honor of Barbie v. Oppenheimer.Barbie v Oppenheimer. So it sounds like,
(06:03):
all right, summer movie, somethinglike that summer Blockbusters. Okay,
all right. The second clue isa calendar with a circle around a date.
Oh, so like June twenty firstmovies or June twenty eighth movies,
July July twenty first, July twentyeight, something like that. Am I
getting hotter? You're getting kind ofhotter but also quite a bit off?
(06:24):
Oh all right? And then thethird clue is box office comparisons. All
right, so we're gonna be comparingmovies that came out on the same weekend
overrehoh, sit down, and you'rethinking, Charon, think, think thang,
because when you do your part,you take a step out of time
and you can do anything that youwanna do. Today's topic is movies released
(06:48):
on the same day. I havea listen about fifteen ish movies. I'll
be reading them off to Mac.And what I'll be asking you for,
Mac is who won the weekend?Who had better box office weekend? Who
had the better box office through theirentire run at said time let's say original
(07:08):
time? And then also, whodo you think has the bigger and longer
cultural impact between the two movies?Okay, that that third question season more
reasonable because the first two seems likethe number value would tell you who the
winner was. No, like thefirst one. Is this you guessing who
won the weekend? Who had abetter weekend? Got? Gotcha? So
you'll be keeping tally of that.Don't keep tally of your cultural winner.
(07:28):
That's just your opinion. You're notgonna tell me if I get it right
or wrong until the end. No, I'll tell you right or wrong as
soon as you guess gotcha? Okay, why would you be writing down answers?
But let's go back and check yourredzins. Well that's what I thought.
I thought you had a red penout. How figure are we going
back here? Nineteen eighty two wasthe first one, all right? Reasonable,
but these are all big name movies. These are classic movies. Is
(07:50):
eighty two ET and something else?Well ET was in the theater at the
same time as these movies. Itlooks like, you know movies. Are
you ready for the first one?Mac? Yeah, lay it on here.
What's up? Yes, chronological,and then I'll try and do it
in alphabetical order based off of thename. I also might not have I
(08:11):
don't know. I forget what Idid. It was last Friday, so
Mac, in honor of Barbie V. Oppenheimer. The episode today is movies
released on the same day, andthe first date on the board is June
twenty fifth, nineteen eighty two.What were you doing on this day?
Uh? This was just under sevenyears prior to my birth, which means
(08:35):
my parents were teenagers, both ofthem, I think, So. I
wonder they were probably doing some somestuff that shouldn't have been doing, especially
your dad, Yes, especially mydad. Can you ask me? Can
you actually ask your dad after thispodcast what he was doing on June twenty
fifth, nineteen eighty two, Iwill text you his respect. The first
movie up is Blade Runner and thething so interesting? All right, So
(09:03):
horror movies never do well at thetheater. But I do know that Blade
Runner got more popular as the yearswent on. It was more of a
cult classic than it was a smashedsuccess in the theaters. So I think
clearly the thing made more money.You are incorrect, Mark one wrong.
Damn the thing lost a Blade Runner. The thing actually finished eighth in the
(09:26):
box office with three point one milliondollars, finished behind Rocky three and it's
fifth week, the Wrath of conand it's fourth week, Annie and it's
sixth week, and Poultrgeist and it'sfourth week. Blade finished second at the
box office with six point one million, just behind ET in its third week
at the theater. Wow, I'mstunned that Blade Runner. You know what,
(09:48):
maybe you know what I didn't factorin here is, of course,
horror movies were a thing in theearly eighties, but Blade Runners capitalizing on
the Star Wars community. That's whatI That's what I didn't take into consideration.
All right, over one, Whodo you think made more overall at
the box office? Well, ifBlade Runner made more initially, Blade Runner
(10:09):
had to make more. In thelong run. Blade Runner did make more,
but it also lost money on itsbudget. It had a budget of
about thirty million only made twenty fourat the box office, while The Thing
made almost twenty million on a budgetof ten to fifteen. Wow, but
neither really all that successful when youcan, I mean the Thing doubled up,
but still for movies that are consideredall time greats and they both Yeah,
(10:31):
do you think that both of theseare top five in their genre?
No? Not Blade Runner for me. I think you could make an argument
for the Thing. Yeah, I'mjust not a Blade Runner guy, which
is really interesting. And I talkedabout this when Blade Runner twenty forty nine
came out. Blade Runner twenty fortynine is one of my favorite movies of
the last ten years, maybe ofall time. And I don't even really
like the first Blade Runner all thatmuch. So bigger cultural impact you're going
(10:54):
the Thing? No, I thinkBlade Runner has a bigger cultural The Thing
is a better movie in my estimation, though. And if you were rating
say top ten horror movies versus topten Sci five movies, I might consider
the Thing on my list. Iprobably do have it in there on my
list. I wouldn't have Blade runnerundmy list. The Thing is also one
of the greatest remakes of all time, true dat true original nineteen fifty five,
(11:16):
maybe two or fifty five. Okay, it was in the first Halloween
movie though. Yeah, all right, Mac, let's go on to June
eighth, nineteen eighty four. Iwill also ask you at the end,
what do you think the best dayout of all of these are? By
the way, so just kind oftry and remember, I'll i'll refresh.
I'm tutting some notes, like,Okay, so nineteen eighty four, June
(11:39):
eighth, we have Gremlins and Ghostbusters. Wow. So Gremlins versus Ghostbusters,
Well, the thing was a betterhorror movie than Gremlins, even though Gremlins
isn't an outrut that has comedy involvedas well, Ghostbusters seems like the bigger
blockbuster. And I'm thinking, tolike marketing, how do you really market
(12:01):
Gremlins? So to me, it'sgot to be Ghostbusters here. So Ghostbusters
was the higher Ghostbusters was number oneat the box office, only thirteen point
five million, though Gremlins made twelvepoint five million. Wow, And actually
both of these movies had higher secondweeks word of mouth. Wow. Yeah,
I could see that. I couldsee that, especially Gremlins. Since
(12:22):
I just said you wouldn't really nota marketed so that would be for sure
more of a word of mouth thingyou market it. It's a movie long
run here, especially because Gremlins hassome holiday properties. I wonder if Gremlin's
made morigu is that your guess?That's my Guessike Spikes Mac are you stupid?
(12:43):
Wow? Ghostbusters ended up making twohundred and thirty and its original theatrical
run nineteen eighty four. That's amazingmassive, and then also two forty three
with its extra releases. That's sothat's not even including you know, DVDs,
March all that crap. And alsoonly had a budget of thirty million
dollars. I believe that. Yeah, how much did Gremlins end up making?
(13:05):
How far off? Not bad?Actually one hundred and fifty million domestic
on a budget of eleven that's forGrandlin's That's incredible. Yeah, this is
ten times it's budget. All right, let's go down to a date that
I know you love. These twomovies are at the top of your list.
June thirteenth, nineteen eighty six.Oh, this has got to be
Back to the Future. Back toFuture was eighty five, so you were
right with Back I thought you mighthave actually guessed this. I'm like,
(13:28):
Wow, that's amazing that you knewthis fucking release date back to School starring
Rodney Dangerfield, okay, one ofmy favorites of course Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Oh now this is interesting because Dangerfieldis a bigger, a much bigger
name than anyone in Ferris Bueller's DayOff at this time. So opening weekend,
I feel like it might have mademore, but then Ferris Bueller makes
(13:52):
more in the long run, I'mgonna go with back to School makes more.
First weekend, Back to School madealmost nine million, and it's opening
weekend, verus Farris Bueller's six pointthree And then what is your guest for?
Overall? Blown it out of thewater, really back to School?
This is only in theaters, Andof course Ferris Bueller's Day Off is like,
(14:13):
everyone fucking loves it, Everyone goesshots for it, everyone loves that
bag of mayonnaise. So the wordof mouth took forever. In eighty six,
I guess Back to School made ninetyone million at the box office on
a budget of eleven million. Doesthat not tell you how much of a
star Rodney Dangerfield was Because this movieis just danger Field. Yeah. It
also kind of tells you how moronicpeople were in nineteen eighty six. Oh
(14:37):
wow, that blows my mind.Ninety one million is a lot of fucking
money for a movie. That's okay, it's okay. I would have it
probably top four for danger Fields.But there's so like no, but there's
like a middle of like Dangerfield wherelike the tops are pretty funny, like
really funny movies, and then thebottoms are terrible. Yes, Rover,
danger Field, Ladybugs. How muchdid Ferris Bueller make in just over seventy
(15:03):
million? Wow? So more thantwenty million. Bunet five million though,
so little roy So that's the onethat was like the cult classic that ended
up Oh yeah, no, thatis I'll admit this. I'm not the
biggest fan of that movie, butyou know that's a huge, huge movie
with everyone still today. So anotherone split here, another one and one,
three and three so far, let'sgo on to this next one.
(15:24):
July fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight,just before the Birth of Our Lords.
That's us, that's me and youdie Hard verse. A fish called Wanda.
Fish called Wanda is a critical Darlingdie Hard I feel like I've heard
too much. See this almost feelslike a trick question. I've heard about
die Hard too much for it tonot be. But thinking about all the
(15:48):
conversations we've had about die Hard,some serious doubt around die Hard heading into
this movie because of the actor,no one believed in Bruce Willy. So
I'm gonna say a fish called Wandamade more in its first week. So
you were right when I said itwas a trick question, because this is
an absolute trick question. Both ofthese movies were released to limited theaters and
(16:10):
it's opening weekends. Yeah, soin it's opening weekend, Diehard only made
six hundred thousand dollars vers a fishcalled Wanda, which only made one hundred
and fifteen thousand dollars. Jesus.But now let's go to week number two
where Diehard. Everyone loved it.Everyone's like, this is great because everyone
had action movie fatigue. But thisturned it on its head, how the
(16:32):
turn tables and its second weekend madeseven point one million dollars and a Fish
called Wanda did not get a onethousand theater release until week five. Huh,
So this is kind of cheat andhere you kind of it is but
you guessed it. You said,this is a trick question. So Diehard
obviously made Wayne more and it's longrun. So another one and one split
(16:56):
here, But you absolutely, babysitter, absolutely fucked me. Here are correct?
Die Hard went on to make eightyfour million dollars domestic one hundred and
forty one point six worldwide on abudget of twenty eight million dollars. A
fish called Wanda eventually made sixty milliondollars. Listen, just to you know,
chime in about die Hard here.I know I'm not. I've been
(17:18):
staunched that Diehard is in a Christmasmovie and I will forever main are you
here to tell me that a fishcalled Wanda is? However, if you
guys remember when we reviewed die Hard. I liked that movie a lot.
Yeah, it's the first action moviethat you can really think of that didn't
have this big, massive muscly guy. It was an everyman as an action
hero. And that's why that moviekicks ass. Also the bad guys dope
(17:40):
shout out Hans Gruber. Yeah,alright, here we go. Let's go
to June twenty third, nineteen eightynine. We're both alive. Here we
go we're both at the theater onthis opening weekend. Mac Batman Batman First,
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.Now one is obviously a much more
(18:07):
family oriented movie, and that's amovie I watched on VHS one hundred thousand
times. Might have broke the VHS. Yeah, but for that reason,
because it was so rentable on VHS, I feel like it maybe didn't make
as much money. And even hearingme out, Batman also was available at
Blockbuster. It wasn't like the allyou can only see this in theater.
I fluster will never get this tape. I feel like with the name Batman
(18:30):
and Tim Burton attached to it,that that movie had to have made more
opening weekend. That is correct,Batman opening weekend made forty million dollars Number
one. Of course, summer ofnineteen eighty nine was referred to as the
summer of Batman. Honey, IShrunk the Kids, though a Disney movie
did make fourteen point two million dollarsin its opening weekend. One two at
(18:52):
the box office, Mac, whodo you believe made more in the long
run? Obviously Batman here, that'san easy one two hundred and fifty domestic
four eleven worldwide in nineteen eighty nineon a budget of thirty five million dollars.
Credit to Tim Burton. There,that's pretty good. That's that's a
lot. Making your full budget backon opening weekend is a hell of a
(19:15):
job. There. How much dida hon airstrike the Kids? Mate thirty
on a budget of eighteen that's reallygood? Yeah, yeah, that's really
good. Mac July twelfth, nineteenninety one. Where were you July twelfth,
nineteen ninety one, Great question,Probably raising hell somewhere? Hell yeah,
brother short brothers right there? Boysin the Hood verse point Break.
(19:41):
Oh, this is a good one. Boys in the Hood versus Point Break.
Boys in the Hood is a bettermovie. Point Break is more of
a blockbuster, more of a moviethat would would sell to a wider audience.
So I'm going to say Point Breakmade more opening weekend. Boys in
the Hood ten million dollars. PointBreak eight point four neither won the box
(20:06):
office, though Boys in the Hoodfinished third behind T two in its second
weekend, and number one at thebox office that weekend was the rerelease of
one hundred and one Dalmatians. Weas a People sucked in any One.
Not a great year for us.We've already said this. We don't love
(20:29):
nineteen ninety one. It's just funnythat the top movie on a good weekend
for movies one hundred and one Dalmatiansfrom ninety seven or something. Listen,
boys, I'd say Boys in theHood is an all timer. I wouldn't
say point break, but to someit is. That's three somewhat all time.
I mean T two is all timegreat movie, that's all time recognizable
movies. And one hundred and oneDalmatians beat off and that's T two and
(20:51):
it's second week, so it's notlike five weeks in fucking insane. Yes,
So who do you think had abetter run at the box office domestic?
I'll stick with Boys in the Hoodhere, since I didn't get it
right the first time. Boys inthe Hood fifty seven point five domestic on
a budget of six point five ROI, and then point Break forty three domestic
eighty three point five worldwide on abudget of twenty four. Okay, let's
(21:17):
move on to just one year later, the holiday season. Whoop do you
do? Hiboty dup? December eleventh, nineteen ninety two. What did you
ask for for Christmas? In ninetytwo. I was probably barely speaking at
this point. I'm trying to thinkmaybe Teddy Ruxman. I probably got a
Teddy Ruxman. Okay, all right, I think I got a Super Nintendo
as a family that was other ninetytwo or ninety one. So I'm play
(21:37):
as a three year old. I'mbetter than you, I'm smarter than you.
We have the Muppet Christmas Carol verseA Few good Men. It's a
Few good Men rated R. Ibelieve so, man. So I'm up
at Christmas Carol had to have wonopening. Really, I'm up at Christmas
(21:59):
Carol finished fifth, I'm sorry,sixth with only five million dollars. I
think this is around the time wherepeople started to get sick of the Muppets.
Okay, so it finished behind HomeAlone Too in its fourth weekend,
The Bodyguard in its third weekend,Aladdin in its fifth weekend, and a
Few good Men in its first weekendat fifteen point five million dollars. A
(22:21):
Few good Men is a star studdedcast, dude. Yeah, no,
I know, I know, I'mjust I was thinking maybe overthinking that one.
That is a loaded theater weekend.By the way, all time theater
weekend right there. Do you thinkthe people that were deciding on which movie
to go to, we're saying,am I a man? Or? Am
I a Muppet? Am I young? You know what happened there? Because
(22:44):
I didn't have all the context.All the Muppet people went to Aladdin.
If you combine a Laddin and Muppet, I would have beat die or a
nut die hard A few good men. If I'm a man, then I'm
a very manly muppet, a verymanley muppet. Who do you think had
a better run at the box officeoverall? Clearly A few good men?
That's correct. One hundred and fortyone domestic on a budget of forty one.
The Muppets made twenty seven point twoon a budget of twelve. Butts
(23:08):
the longer cultural impact. Um,the one line of you can't handle the
truth, probably when Gonzo says thatto Rizzo, Yeah, probably supersedes anything
from that Muppets movie. But it'snot that far off, right, No,
it's close, because this is it'skind of a cult's Christmas classic.
Now everyone has seen that movie forsure. All right, let's go on
(23:32):
in nineteen ninety five. What areyou doing in ninety five? November of
ninety five. I'm probably smashing myankle with a skippet um playing with loads
of Plato and six years old,I probably was playing Sega Genesis, maybe
Second Genesis, all right, Novembertwenty second, nineteen ninety five on one
(23:53):
end, Casino on the other end, Toy Story. Oh so this is
interesting because your natural inclination would beToy Story. But it's the first of
the Pixar movies, and I don'tknow if people would have had faith.
And I could also see people Idon't know, because we're just talking about
(24:15):
how people are stupid here, peoplesomehow being put off by the animation.
Initially it was a little wonky.I'm gonna go Casino here on opening weekend
made ten million dollars. Toy Story. I'll just give you what they made
in just the weekend, because ToyStory actually had a four day release because
it came out on that Wednesday,I believe, as opposed to the Thursday
(24:37):
night. It made twenty nine millionover the weekend, thirty nine overall in
the holiday weekend. Bang, that'sa massive weekend. So obviously Toy Story
then made more in the long run. You are correct, Toy Story made
first off, it made another thirtymillion in week two, another twenty million
in week nine, which is insane. I think that might be like the
(24:59):
Christmas week. That might be thereason why Holiday week, and then overall
it made two twenty three domestic almostfour hundred million worldwide on a budget of
thirty million. Toy Story was sosuccessful that they have literally bought themselves thirty
years. Now we are getting tothe end of the thirty years here where
they're going to have to rethink theirstrategies because now they're spending two hundred million
(25:21):
dollars on movies, and now thosemovies aren't making two hundred million dollars.
Casino ended up making forty two pointfive domestic one sixteen worldwide on a budget
of fifty two Do you think thatmovie had the issue of being compared to
Goodfellas? First a thousand percent peoplewould say poor Man, Goodfellas, or
we've seen this before. Casino isgreat, though, that movie is no
(25:42):
Casino is great. It's really long, though. Do you think that actually
it is long? I think theymight have had to show it one less
time in the theater because of itslength. Well, if you compare it,
what's Toy Story ninety minutes ninety fiveminutes, one hundred minutes compare seventy
one minutes three hours. So youcan showed double the amount of Toy Story
screens in the day that you canshow of Casino. Let's move on now
(26:04):
to another nineteen ninety five. It'sa hot year for movies being released on
the same day, December fifteenth,the holiday season. We have heat,
heats, okay, verse Jumongi.So if there were some fatigue with Casino,
the hats had to have been massiveheat or massive heat, massive fatigue
(26:27):
with heat and heat. I don'teven really like that much. I don't
know if anyone does, please tellme. Jumaji made more. Jumanji made
eleven million number one at the boxoffice, while Heat was seconds behind.
I'm sorry, it was third behindWeek four of Toy Story. Oh look
at that Toy Story still going,Story Story still hot. Who do you
(26:48):
think made more overall? Oh,Jumanji by a mile. Jumanji made one
hundred million and two sixty two worldwideon a budget of sixty five million.
Heat did make sixty seven point fivedomestic on a budget of sixty So that's
actually not very good. No,no, it's not, but you got
Michael Mann Bobby d LP, butof a cosmic gumbo. Let's wrap up
(27:14):
the decade. Let's go to nineteenninety nine, April second. What are
you doing in ninety nine? OnApril second? Pokemon? Oh, Pokemon
All Day, all the time?Cards, video games. I was probably
still dabbling in some PlayStation games,but no doubt in my mind, I
was crushing Pokemon on my Game BoyColor. I initially was a Pokemon Red
guy. I got stolen out ofmy bag at school at the Lowel School,
(27:37):
James Russell Ottle School, and thenmy mom had to buy me the
blue version because I was so jadedabout the red version. I was also
very deep into Pokemon trading cards atthis point. Did you already have him
a signal? I'm sure I did, No doubt in my mind I did.
If you ain't cheating, you ain'ttrying. My signal is the original
slaw right? Well, the RickCandy thing is yeah. I would say
(27:59):
of all the video game games I'veplayed, it's not even close that Pokemon
Blue is the game I have playedmost in my life. Just in that
year that it came out. Ithink it came out ninety eight, maybe
it was ninety nine. I probablyplayed that game over and over. I
probably completed that story fucking one hundredtimes that year, and probably at least
a hundred times since April second,nineteen ninety nine. Ten Things I Hate
(28:22):
About You verse the Matrix. It'sgotta be the Matrix. It's gotta be.
It's the Matrix. The Matrix madetwenty seven point eight million on that
weekend, butts Ten Things I HateAbout You finished seconds at eight point three.
Ten Things I Hate About You isstill a very enjoyable watch. It
perfectly encapsulates nineteen ninety nine and highschools like that, although we never even
(28:48):
remotely went to a high school thatlooked like that. But that is like,
if you asked me which movie I'drather watch today, I'd rather watch
Ten Things I Hate About You.Let me ask you, though, who
do you think made more with?They're a whole run at the theater.
I bet the Matrix tripled with TenThings I Hate About You made. I
mean, you're completely off on tripling. The Matrix made one seventy two domestic,
four sixty seven worldwide on a budgetof sixty three. Ten Things made
(29:11):
thirty eight domestic fifty three point fourworldwide on a budget of thirty, so
it quadrupled a lot more. Solet's say four sixty seven verse fifty five.
I mean, oh Jesus Christ,Yeah, twenty times seven whatever it
is, ten times dame out.Yeah, Mac, I've one more for
you. Okay, I'm by theway, I'm thirteen and seven so far.
(29:32):
I'm really closing strong here. That'sa good gambling record. Yeah,
that's not bad at all. We'remaking money. Here we go, Mac.
The final one here is from twentyo three, November seventh. What
do you ask for for Christmas?A PS two? Uh, yes,
that's the RPS two came out?Oh three, maybe might have been two,
might have been two? Mac,we have two Christmas classics, Elf,
(29:55):
Elf and Love Actually Love Actually Shit. That was a very successful movie,
and ELF I feel like made moremoney over the long run, and
maybe not initially, and Will Ferrellwasn't yet a bona fide movie star.
I'm gonna say Love Actually made morein the first week. Fuck Love Actually
(30:15):
made six point nine million, finishingsixth behind movies like Brother Bear and its
third week, Scary Movie three inits third week, and radio in its
third week, elk in radio.It lost to Radio, although it finished
second at the box office that weekendmade thirty two million opening weekend. It
didn't really that first weekend, Ifinish just behind the Matrix Revolutions. Oh
(30:41):
boy, that movie is dog shit. Wow. I thought Elf for sure
was one that made more in likeits third week than its first week.
Fucked me? Who do you thinkmade more overall? Obviously Elf? You're
correct. Elf made one seventy eightdomestic two twenty seven worldwide on a budget
of thirty three. While Love actuallywent on to make sixty domestic and two
(31:02):
forty five worldwide. Did I messit? Love actually did well? I'm
telling you that's what I thought.It did world on a budget of forty
Was it British? Well, it'sa It's an all time beloved rom con,
even though it's not nearly my favorite. I'm gonna toss this out there.
This is the first one I'm notconfident about. I feel like I
might have messed up two forty fiveseeds high. It does seem high.
(31:23):
You're probably probably actually no, itmakes sense, so it builts uh in
its weeks so week six it madenine million week eight. It made seven
million, eight six million, soit did what I thought Elf did basically.
Yeah, okay, so it builtOh and actually right around Christmas time
it made eleven point two. Makessense. It is a holiday, a
(31:44):
Christmas themed movie. So what wasyour record? I finished fourteen and eight
here good out of the eleven weekendsyou gave us fourteen and eight. I
didn't really catch stride till halfway through. I was about fifty fifty until halfway
through. You surprised me like sixor seven times here though, that's for
sure. I'm also curious for thepeople that were playing at home, even
though I forgot to ask you toplay at home? What were your records
(32:06):
too? And let me also askyou this mac what weekend pops out to
you as the best of the simultaneousrelease weekends? So I only forgot to
write one set down, which wouldbe June thirteenth, eighty six. So
we have the thing in Blade Runnereighty two that's gonna be a tough one
to beat, ghost Bushes and Gremlinsthat loses to the thing. What were
(32:28):
the two in eighty six? Eightysix was Back to School and Ferris Bueller's
Yeah, that doesn't win either.Die Harded a Fish called Wander is a
great combo, but not as strongas the question. Yeah, credits to
me, Batman and Honey, IShrunk the Kids. That's a good one,
right, That is a good onebecause I like since I don't love
(32:49):
Blade Runner, that probably personally wouldsupersede it. But Blade Runner and the
Thing is too iconic. Boys inthe Hood and Point Break doesn't win.
A few good men Muppets doesn't win. Toys Story and Casino. Actually,
that's pretty Give me Toy Story andCasino over the thing in Blade Runner.
I'm not talking monetarily here anyways,but you can give me an answer if
that's true. That beats Jumanji andHeat the Matrix and Ten Things About You
(33:13):
were two formative movies of my childhood. But I would still prefer Toy Story
and Casino. And because I don'tELP is probably my favorite movie out of
all of these. But I don'tlove I don't love love actually, I
don't actually love Actually. Um,that didn't make any sense. Now can
you try that again? That jokefucking flamed out? Crap. I can
(33:34):
cut that, don't worry, Yeah, fix that Postum, give me Toy
Story and Casino that would be Septemberor what was that? No, So
I'd be between most of these eightiesbattles, and I think the most balanced
is Ghostbusters in Gremlins maybe maybe Idon't know though, So you're just poop
(33:57):
pooing Sharon Stone and Casino, thenI'm not pooping Sharon Stone. I just
think that Toy Story walloped Casino overall, much like like I enjoy Batman and
Honey I shrunk the Kids, butBatman, uh, you know, with
his straight neck and Frankenstein like bodybeat the piss out of what's his name
there in the movie. I thinkwe're just we're answering the question differently here.
(34:21):
Yeah. Absolutely, But we've gotdifferent assignments. Dude. If we
talk about all time great fats orpeople that, um, you know,
helped us get along in certain days, do we underrate Sharon Stone between Total
Recall Fatal Attraction. She had agreat run. Yeah, I mean there's
(34:42):
a ten year span there where notmany people rival her. All right,
guys, so tell us your favoriteweekend of movies of movies that were released
at the same time. Also tellus what are you going to see first?
Barbie or Oppenheimer. Let's get intoMax and maxac could be anything that
(35:06):
could be a boat, and thisweek we are telling you to do it.
Just do it. Yeah, that'sour original saying. We came up
with that, that's ours. Andthen we go like this like a Disney
Channel original show. Dot dot Dana, I'm a really Hillary Duff, I'm
the I'm Miranda Lelane. Yeah,yeah, she I know in hers she
(35:28):
had a wife beat her on andlike a tie because she was trying to
be like Avril Levine. I don'tthink we're allowed to say wife beat her
anymore? Did you hear what?It's like three or four years old now,
and I think I'm allowed to saythis. But um, someone on
Nesson saw a player on the fieldwearing that and they referred to it as
a guinea ta oh, yeah,that's right, that's what he called it.
(35:49):
It was even worse. She butyes, it was even worse than
Should I bleep that out? AmI allowed to say that? No?
I thought, I don't know whoknows up run up by the upper ups
over there. I remember, uh, what was it warehouse eighteen? A
warehouse like nine or whatever that wasin the Building nineteen. Building nineteen,
you can buy carpets for fucking likeeight dollars. They ran an ad about
(36:09):
ten years ago that advertised wife beatersfor like two bucks, and they got
in big trouble. That sounds likesomething that Building nineteen would do. Yes,
exactly, Also Building nineteen. Thishas nothing to do with Building nineteen
or even what this topic is,but they had an ad. It was
someone who was blow drying their hair. Yeah, and my mother like drew
(36:32):
over it and made it look likea gun and that said, I'm gonna
do it. This really ties intoa topic here, do it? What
a full circle thing this was.Look at mama goo. My mother loved
to draw over advertising and like madeit into something else. Oh boy,
(36:52):
because that's what was fun when shewas kid. You know, there was
no internet. You either had todo this or play with a stick and
hoop outside. Yeah, or youwould draw on dollar bills. You would
change what George Washington was wearing.She has done that. Between those,
(37:13):
this is like a mount rushmore ofthings that my mother would do. It
that I was like when I wasa child. She would also put baby
carrots in her mouth and then actlike a walrus bugles on the fingers to
all bugles like a witch. Muststop it. Tell us what your mom

TikTok, do everything? Do it? Yeah? Follow Mac at Fleetwood,

(39:50):
that you didn't matter. I don'tmatter, so all right, I guess
that covers our plugging portion of theshow. Anyways. So this is because
we prerecorded this a little bit abouttime. This is our July third slash
fourth episode. So I'm glad,I'm I'm glad you had a nice holiday,
guys. Yeah, I'm hoping ifyou're out shopping right now, or
if you're commuting to your Fourth ofJuly party, that we helped you out.
(40:13):
You know what, you have alittle bit of trivia for your Fourth
of July party. Now, Hey, did you know so and so made
more than so and so. It'sactually funny. The other day at work,
one of my co workers is like, Hey, did you know that
Batman was released on this day,and I'm like, yeah, but did
you know that Honey, I Shrunkthe Kid was also released on this day,
and I was met with silence.You have. They're like why this
(40:35):
guy's They're like, oh, whereare you going with that? And I'm
like, I just thought it wasa fun fact. I had nothing else
that was. That was the endof our conversation. I haven't talked to
that person since. Yeah. Oh, actually I have this last This is
the last little piece of this episode, and I thought this is pretty funny
and it made me think of youbecause it has to do with spite.
One of my co workers said thatthe only reason why she is still a
vegetarian is out of spite because asa teenager, her parents told her that
(40:59):
it was only a phase. Ido respect that, and you can get
appropriate nutrition via that diet. Iactually know a reformed vegan who tried her
darnedist. She was a vegan chefin fact. But your body just doesn't
respond that well to it. Youlive however you want. I don't care.
But if you want to talk theactual nutritional value in a vegan diet,
(41:22):
it's very little. Yeah, butlittle could spite drive you, though
I feel like it could. Ithink Spite is the greatest motivator on planet
Earth, all right, I reallybelieve that. So that'll do it for
us right now? Check us outnext week. I know I'll have a
dump maybe at the end of thisweek. Next week, maybe we'll do
a mix of the new Mission Impossiblemovie and Indiana Jones. I'm not sure
(41:45):
if I think Indiana Jones. AndI know that this is after the fact
because it already came out, I'mnot seeing that in theaters, but I
also think a lot of people aren't. I don't think it's going to do
well. That makes sense because Ithink and we kind of saw this with
the Flash, but gearing movies towardsolder men is not a good way to
make movies. And this is comingfrom the one percent of Crystal Skull fans.
(42:08):
Here's a huge Crystal Skull got interestedin this movie? Whatsoever? Like
when women ask Mac what his favoritesex act is and he says the Crystal
Skull and they're like, what excuseme? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
put this alien's head over your head. Have I put the stream mask over
yours? And then do you frombehind that's Keith's actually, but still well
(42:29):
all right, well, hey,Tuesdays for goose days, I use kangaroos.
By now it's time for girls jumpingon trampolines. Please flip the cassette
over to side B to continue theadventure.
