Speaker 1 (00:00):
What was the gen Z story I saw yesterday on
a second guy screenshot? No, I didn't, damn it, did
I not? Oh, I guess I didn't. Well, there's another
gen Z story. Maybe I thought, maybe I thought I'd
be picking on gen Z if I did the one.
I can't remember what it was. But there's this one.
Gen Z is driving movie attendant. Gen Z is emerging
as the most active cinema going I've ever seen that
(00:23):
word before. Is that one word, cinema going? It is
in this thing cinema going demographic. A new study reveals
the gen z Is take in more films per year
than their elders, and they spend more per visit on
premium format screens like IMAX as well as concessions. The
study found for the generation going to the movies is
primarily seen as a social activity. Gen Z also attributes
(00:45):
a better selection of movies in the appeal of leaving
the house as key drivers of attendant. Better selection, better
selection at your house, you can watch any movie you
ever thought of in the world. Now you need to
have like forty seven subscriptions. You want to do that,
which costs more than cable ever did. But yeah, just
(01:06):
so gen z Ers are the ones going to the
movie theater apparently. But this is something that I had
this other list that I want to bring up, and
this is why I'm bringing this up. Jason, you have
never seen a movie in your life and it wasn't
Taylor Swift to the Tour movie. Yes, and then Crossroads
with Britney Spears. I own that one on you, right on, right.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Own their own. Weirdly, he loves a league of their own,
love a.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
League of their own, their own. Okay, that's random.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, my favorite movie of all time is Pitch Perfect.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh that's more movies than I thought you've seen, really,
And Titanic I've seen. That's about it, okay. And I'm
not a big movie guy. And I'm certainly not the
guy that's like, oh, you know, you know, when someone's
what's that from? I don't know what, I don't know.
I mean, I've seen a lot of more movies than Jason,
But like, I'm not the guy that's running out to
the theaters and my parents see every movie somehow, but that's
not because of the movie. That's because they go there
(01:55):
and they got the big chairs and they'll bring you
pizza and popcorn and beautiful. Right, that's nothing to do
with it, like what movies you see? It's like, I
don't know. At two pm, you don't even know what
movie you saw. No, but you're hammered and you get
pizza all over your face. Yes, So this list is
at least some people's opinion of the top the top
(02:17):
twelve most iconic movies that still hold up, in no
particular order. So what would you put on this list?
What is a movie that you think will either does
or will stand the test of time. I want to
see how many of these Jason has seen, but I
want to know from you two eight, five, five, five, nine,
one three five Because gen Z, I guess that's that
(02:37):
one generation younger than you know. I can't keep this
all straight, gen X, gen y, gen Z, millennial? What
else we got, baby boomer? What are the ones we got?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Because I'm a millennial. So the next one would be
gen Z right right?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah? Yeah, okay, so you're right after them?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah Alpha something Jen alpha or alpha No Jen Alfhi
it's under gen Z. Yeah they're no, they're like the
little ones, which I think we have hope for them.
I'm hearing.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So that's because they're being raised by me j X millennial.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I think so yeah. I think that we're we did
a little bit of therapy and now we're raising like
kids a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Because I'm not here to make fun of any generation,
because I feel like I'm a part of all of
them somehow. I feel like, depending on the day, I
have big big boomer tendencies, big baby boomer tendencies, and
then in the days I'm probably jen Alpha in a
maturity level. So it really depends. I scan the gamut.
Have you seen and this is from I don't know
if these were in any particular order, but twelve to one?
(03:34):
Have you seen Dead Poet? I know this Dead Poets Society?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
No, I know the Tortured Poets Department.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Robin William Robi actually.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Now, granted that's from eighty nine. What you were you born? Okay?
I mean there's stuff on this list that I've seen
and I was one or zero or not born yet,
So I mean I've still seen it. The Goony.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
No, but it's Cully Clarkson's favorite movie, so I feel
like I should have seen it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Now, this one tried up your alley. Have you seen
dirty dancing, I have.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I've seen dirty dancing on DH one.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I was little. It would play on the commercials. Yeah,
right right, that's any lifts the yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And what was it? I haven't seen it in a
long time. Of course we all know the song. But
the premise is the girl goes on vacation and falls
in love with the dance instructor. Is that what it is?
And the time I can't dance? Right?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
No, that's footlots honey, continuing these movies, nobody puts bathing
in the corner.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Right, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
It's like a kind of an innocent It was like
an innocent like like preppy girl winds up with like
a kind of a hard nose, you know, like oiled
up guy. Yeah, isn't then how we described the it
was taking a summer away from the peace corpse. I
(04:57):
forgot that she was enjoying her go to Kiki's Twitter.
She doesn't believe in the Please don't go to my Twitter,
b please got hacked? She got you know that? Or
she she gets back from a trip and is all
of a sudden spewing a very particular which hey do
you girl? Whatever? You know me? I you do what
you gotta do.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I just got back from a convention.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You speak, you speak your truth. Apparently, will hot Mess
please don't go to Twitter. So she gets back from
the Peace Corps. Yes, and all I know is like
Patrick Swayze, Like the way he's dancing with her is like,
you know, we're all like clutching. What a feeling? Yeah
right that movie to her.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Father tried to stop her from seeing him.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yes, what a feeling? Flashands is not a different movie,
I think. Okay, you mentioned all these movies up. Have
you seen rain Man? Hey, okay, you've seen Top Gun.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I know I've only seen that brack oh no one.
Top Gun is, but I don't think i've ever seen
it cruise right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, it's pretty timeless. I mean it looks very old
timing now. But I can't believe you didn't have any
curiosity when the new one came out. You went and
saw that, like where did this all come from?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
New One first? And like like to that first? I'm like, well,
I have news for you.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sis, there's a better one.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Okay, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I have seen that VH ONEH one.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You saw Raiders of the Lost Arc No, is that
like a cartoon? No, back to the Future.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
No, really, I heard it, but like I don't. I
haven't seen it. I know I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, you and I can relate on this one. Star
Wars anything, Star Wars Fire Strikes bag. I had no
Star Wars at this point. I'm just not going to
do it now. I do it just to piss people off.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, now for the rest of my life. It's a
conversation started your dad.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
What my dad was like super into Star Wars and
like Star Trek growing up, so I think like I
was around it, but I would never watch it. This
is weird.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh what a feeling from fame. So different movie.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, I just wanted to sing.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, clearly the Shining I can the Breakfast Club. I
have VH one, So VH one's biggest thing they got
watch VH one gone Absolutely not, No, it's still there.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It just shows like old movies.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
TV video, hits one. It's moved on to something. Yea,
now they're playing they're playing movies and Jason's ever seen before.
I finally the number one movie that whoever these people
are are saying is timeless et oh timeless.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, I disagree with a lot of this listen careless, okay,
what's timeless?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Then?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay, so to come to mind, I I oh, okay, okay,
for sure, almost famous for sure? Now and then and Scarface.
Sorry that's three. That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Okay, well Scarface is what seventies sixties? All I know
is whoever wrote this list is probably around my age
because you're all eighties movie But like, I feel like there's.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
A difference between a classic, like if I watch Et,
I know that was made a long time ago. Like
I feel like those three movies, like they don't look
so old timy.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
But an alien coming down with his finger that glows,
that's timeless.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, I agree, that happens.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And then they go off to the note that happens,
that happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
You were in that ride at Universal. That's my favorite ride.
You literally ride on a bike and you like go
through the night sky.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Like, Wow, that's cool. I don't think so. I haven't
been a Universal for a long time. No, that was cool. Wow,
there you go, He's eat here. Can you tell which
one of us was in high school musicals
