Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
That was an idea.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I felt like I was gonna say, kid, I'm not
sure what to do.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
With my hand.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You have part of my attention, you have the minimum amount.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
What name?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Who are you steal?

Speaker 5 (00:16):
Someone?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Just want to watch the world bo.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's see it drinking one percent?

Speaker 6 (00:22):
Is that because you think you're fat?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Let's rock.

Speaker 6 (00:25):
Let's rock today, Like it's fitting we have the dark
night line there in the open and considering what it's
going to be our draft today, Hold on there, I'm
not supposed to even talk about that, or I we.

Speaker 7 (00:37):
Can, but let's I guess we could jump right into it.

Speaker 6 (00:39):
I mean, we'll get into that conversation in a second,
because I think it's it's gonna be a large part
of the show tonight. Jackson Pheliz, Anderson Hurst, Christopher Kidd.
We are three sports radio producers who finally have a
podcast to talk about something other than sports. This is
Hollywood Weekly. We talk all things movies and television. We
talk about what we've been watching, we recommend something to you,

(01:00):
and we always do a draft. We haven't done a
draft in the last couple weeks, but we're going to
get back to it. We're gonna get back in the
swing of things, and Andrews, you had a great idea
that there was and we'll do it later in the show,
but I think it does require some thinking. So I
wanted to just get to it right off the bat
of what the heck we're doing and how we define it.

(01:21):
So go ahead, what's your idea and what the heck
are we doing?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
All right? So I reached into my bag of our
ideas for drafts. Good one.

Speaker 7 (01:28):
I have a kind of a long list of things
that I want to do, and the one we came
up with today is the best sequels just period.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
So Lord of the Rings two Towers is a sequel
to Fellowship, is it not?

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Why?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Wrong?

Speaker 7 (01:43):
And that is incorrect because from the start of filming
Lord of the Rings it was meant to be a trilogy,
and that they filmed all three films all at once,
not saying there the parameters have to include all this stuff.
But Lord of the Rings is the class example of
that something that isn't a trilogy. That's why it's all
considered one big long movie for me, because they all

(02:05):
it was always meant to be three movies. They just
released it at three different years.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Okay, my question then is what about movies that were
designed for two and the first part and then we.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
Have so what's an example of that.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Dune?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Dune probably done.

Speaker 7 (02:19):
There's three. It was always designed as three.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Well, so there was two set in the plan. I
actually had to do some research on this earlier today.
Two set in the plan, and if both were received well,
then the next one, which is supposed to be like
what Dune's Messiah, thank You, would be greenlit. So there
was a thought of okay, but let's see how these
actually do first, and obviously they did so well that yes,

(02:44):
Messiah number three it I mean it's gonna be filming
in like twenty six. Yeah, I mean it's gonna come
out in probably twenty late twenty seven, early twenty eight,
So it's part two. There was not a there was
not like the set in we're doing a trilogy. It's
clearly part one day two. Okay, So I mean it
doesn't need to be a trilogy or anything.

Speaker 7 (03:02):
They could have it set to be originally seven movies, right,
But my point is like it's a sequel from a
one off movie that like did well, and they never
planned to do anything more than that one movie.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Never plan to do anything more than that.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
And then they're like, all right, we can, we can
do a Sequel's Godfather is a good example.

Speaker 6 (03:20):
No, it was always supposed to be a trilogy, was
it not. No, it was supposed to be just a
single one.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
And then they were like, oh, you have proof.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I do.

Speaker 7 (03:29):
Actually, I mean, I mean I've just known that to
be a fan.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
You google, it will probably pop up. So Dune doesn't count.
So my number three movie of all time, Dune two
does not count, does not? Well, mother effort, Well, I.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
Mean one of my favorite. There's a bunch of my favorites.
And then you mentioned Dark Knight. I don't think that
counts either.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
Because no one said it's a trilogy exactly.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
So that's that's that's a no go Furious. Yeah, that
counts in my eyes.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
It should right because it wasn't right too Fast, too
Furious was not set in exactly when they started the
whole project.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh okay, so that counts for me.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
Now we are at the point where like they know
they're just going to keep going.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
But that's still like that those are all sequels, and
that's the other part of this. It doesn't have to
be the second movie because everything past the first one
is technically a sequel.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
So Prometheus and then Alien Coven.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
It's a great example. That's a great example, great example,
a good example.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Yeah, got Prometheus was a phenomenal movie. Oh wow, Prometheus
is true and like doing this podcast, I mean, is
worth watching awesome sci fi?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
All right? Uh no, I'm asking because I'm curious.

Speaker 7 (04:37):
I don't know. Not not much. We we just got
home because I was houseitting for Does your wife have
any plans?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I know, so she doesn't care if you're like, hey, babe,
I'm gonna pop in Promotheus for about two hours.

Speaker 7 (04:49):
Cool with because you already know that she won't like it.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't know. She might like it. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
She hates fi, so not hate see, not a thing.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
What I love.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
About some sci fi is like when they make space
the villain, like you don't need you don't need actual
like mystical aliens or elements to make it to make it.
But here's the thing. The one exception that I sign
up for is Prometheus, where it almost does make do both.
It makes space the villain.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
But it also has alien because it literally is part
of the alien universe. Carl urbind.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
No, Michael Fastbender is in it, and Michael Fastpender is great.
But Elbow that's right. Oh my gosh, he's the ship captain.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
That's on my list. There's no list. What are you
doing tonight, dude?

Speaker 7 (05:34):
I can't commit to watching I know, I know, I'm
I'm it's in my head now.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
But it'll make you watch Alien Covenant.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
What's a giant to you?

Speaker 7 (05:43):
Like? Just honestly, most sci fi movies giants.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
It's a giant.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
I watched the Cracking game too. I gotta keep up
on my boys.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's right. He has work. You could easily be like, hey,
Prometheus is better than Cracking. It's I mean, make a pole.
It's Prometheus better than Crack.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
That's great because also Andres answer me this if they
do a movie later on that is a prequel like Prometheus,
which takes place at the start of the Alien universe.
Technically PREI Prometheus is a sequel in our timeline, but
it is a you know, prequel in the movie timeline.
How do you define that?

Speaker 7 (06:22):
Yeah, that's why I brought it up. Actually, yeah, okay,
so I don't know. I'm not aware of the timeline
of Prometheus.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
Takes place at the start of everything.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
So prequels don't count.

Speaker 7 (06:31):
But and original movies, original movies that you could say, oh,
that's a sequel to the prequel that came out later, No,
that doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I feel like I'm just.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Like erasing things from my list because like it's not
as Monsters University gets canceled off the list because it's
a prequel to Monsters inc.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Yeah, yeah it does.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
So Prometheus goes back on the list. Great, thank you
for that, Chris, I appreciate we we can.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I just want to give opportunities that might not exist elsewhere.
But nonetheless, you're a Monsters University fan. Huh.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
No, I was using it as an example for for Prometheus.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
Okay, So the other one that I'm actually confused about,
I want to get your guys, what about something like
Captain America Captain America's Winter Soldier.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
I have Winter Soldier on my list because listen, the
reality is, if Captain America did not become through both
his first movie and through the Venders, as big as
he was, they wouldn't have done Winter Soldier. They hadn't
planned Winter Soldier when they did Captain America.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
The same thing with thora Ragnarok.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
I would think that's fair game as well, because the
all of Marvel was sort of just like tippy toeing,
is this gonna work? And then when it worked, they
went full scheme ahead. Yeah, I was gonna say.

Speaker 7 (07:44):
The only thing that makes me question it is I
don't know how early in the process they were like,
all right, it's this is good. How early in the
Ironman movies and maybe in Captain America they were like,
we're gonna connect this all together into one MCU and
make it like a big series pretty early And if
that's reality, Yeah, that's the story. That's the only thing
that I'm like, So it's not technically a sequel of No.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
It's not. It was planned out also, how could you
because if you're to think of that through then you'd say, well,
Infinity warn endgame technically because there are Avengers sequels, but
but no, because they were planned out to do the whole,
you know, the whole, what is it the Infinity.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Now iron Man two absolutely is a sequel.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Yes, it came before. I mean, that's the whole. That's
the whole. Great thing about the story of Iron Man
one and Jon Favreau is that an incredible Hulk failed
and failed miserably with Edward Norton. I want to say,
and and and what happened was Marvel was sort of
just like on the edge of their seat, and there's
just sort of like, okay, we're we're backed up against

(08:45):
the wall here. If iron Man doesn't work, the whole
thing comes crashed down. And magically iron Man worked so
well that Marvel rose from it. And but the story
goes that if iron Man had failed, there never would
have been the Infinity Saga and there never would be so.

Speaker 7 (09:04):
High on your draft.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
Yeah, I mean, really it's thanks to that movie, all right,
that that the whole thing exists.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
All right, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
But I think you're right.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
I think like iron Man two counts, but yeah, iron
Man two is nominalost.

Speaker 7 (09:16):
I mean you look at that, but like I'm just
thinking of examples so.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
Like so that so that would mean that that for me.

Speaker 7 (09:24):
Would not be not count and same with the Reigenrock
doesn't count.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Oh yeah, I think I think that's right. I think
it's I think that's fair, okay, And also Deadpool Wolverine
then wouldn't count. That's that We're now we're getting into
hazy territory here.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
Yeah, i'd probably consider that, because I don't it's not
part of the m c U. When they first made Deadpool,
I don't think they were planning on making a second
or third one.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Yeah, this was and this was very much like I
think there's even the scene where where where Ryan Reynolds
is narrating and he says, I wasn't even supposed to
be here. This wasn't even supposed to happen, So like
he's Ron Reynolds at that point, it's not Deadpool talking,
it's literally Ryan Reynold saying they shouldn't have been doing
this movie.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
Yeah. So yeah, I think I think Deadpool O reincounts.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
This is going to be an interesting draft. Yeah, we
might have to scratch things off as we go. Chris,
do you understand what the hell we're doing?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm locked in. I was throwing movies back and forth,
and he's like, yeah, that's it, that's it, that's bro,
you got it? What do you It's easy? You know
what you're doing.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yeah, he's I've redone my list twice.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
So let's see. Let's see how this goes.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Let's start off though, but what we've been watching Christopher
you were lazy and didn't come to the podcast last week.
So what have you been watching in the last two weeks?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
So I got to check out two films. I saw
Dinner Thieves two Paneta or a Penteta. I think that's
how you say it. Oh, what a good film. It
didn't live up to the action from the first film,
but the storyline and the twist.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
At the end.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
So talk to us about it. You never have you
seen the first one?

Speaker 6 (10:48):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
No, Chris just he's just lost in mind. Because are
you guys fan of highst bank robbery films?

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Yeah, you're just talking about that last week.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I favor one of all time might be Heat. You
guys have all seen Heat?

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Yes, Robert de Narrow, I was gonna say the old one.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yes, Yes, that's a classic classic. Talk about long that's
a three hour heist. That's a great movie. But it's great.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Did Heat come nineteen ninety five?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Eighty five? I mean the way it looks, yeah, Jackson
and I I don't blame you. So Den of Thieves
came out, I want to say in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
Al Pacino, Val Kilmer, Robert Denar, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, twenty eighteen, it came out the cast. You have
Darar Butler, He's like, hey, big nick police officer and
he he's one of them. Cough that. Yeah, you don't
want to mess around with. Oh Jackson, Ice cuge Son,
fifty cents in there. Pablo Shreeber that played in Halo
master Chief, he's in there.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
So the cast is heavy Heart is really good. The
storyline is amazing, but it's about these thieves that are
trying to take down one of their biggest heists that
they've that they're ever going to pull off. And the
way they set up to it reminds me of Heat
because in Heat, what are they doing? You know the
first robbery scene is they're not stealing money. They're still
in something else that's more important because they have a

(12:02):
bigger score in mind. So Dinner Thieves takes that little book,
takes that little page out of the book and makes
it into this film and it's just wow. And the
ending on dinn of Thieves, the first one is even
crazier because you another one, but you wouldn't expect to
watching You're not thinking, oh, there's gonna be a cliffhanger.
You just watched the move and go son of a gun,
Are you kidding me? And then Dinner Thieves too well,

(12:25):
bad guy gets away, Gerard, Butler's like, you're still on
my radar. I'm not letting go. It's been eight years.
But I don't care. I have a job to do
to serve and protect. I don't care that you went
to another country. I'm gonna find your ass, and when
I do, I'm gonna put you in handcuffs. Hello. And
it doesn't turn out that way at all, so it's
oh man, you got I'm man.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Denn of Thieves is available on Max right now, so
it seems very easy to just pick right.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
And I actually came back and watched it about a
week prior to me and my fance going and seeing
Dinn of Thieves two. And yeah, I think both of
you guys should check the n F Thieves out if
you can. Jackson, when you got going tonight?

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Uh well, uh, tonight, we are going to be finishing Watchmen.
I mean not to spoil my my list, but we're
gonna start the whole Watchman thing.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Or we're we're halfway. So in other words, Chris, no,
I cannot get to it tonight.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
But but this is what I like about this and
let me ask a question here. So he's the he's
the hard drinking leader of an elite unit of the
Los Angeles County Sheriffs. You looked it up and okay,
so so, So what I'm wondering is this guy who
also steals but he's also part of the police. It
almost reads like fast and furious original.

Speaker 7 (13:34):
No, it's not even no, not even clo. I read
like a cop who also steal readings.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
That's kind of That's how I think he's.

Speaker 7 (13:40):
He's still like donuts like this dude's not like a
real okay, yeah, okay, he's not.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Like a criminal hunts down the criminal.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, he's not your most He doesn't show up to
work in a nice suit, like he comes to work
with a cigaret in his mouth and his shirt that
he's been wearing for the last three day.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
I guess my question is does Gerrard Butler steal things?
Or is he the person hunting the people? Oh, he's
hunting Okay, so he's he's the hunter. He's just like
I said, he's not your typical law and order type guy.
You know, he's not gonna come to the scene like, Oh,
he's definitely a cop you come to the scene.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Is he a gangster or is he a police officer?

Speaker 6 (14:07):
How is his American accent?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (14:11):
I think Butler great and everything else. Gerard Butler has
been in you.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
You actually for a second think he's American. You're like, oh, oh,
you're Oh that's right, He's not from here. Have you
guys seen the Gerard Butler movie. Uh, he's opposite of
Catherine Heigel. Somebody give me the title of it. This
was like in the mid two thousands, The Ugly Truth
I have not two thousand and nine. His American accent

(14:34):
is just terrible.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
I mean, I'm like, dude, come on now, yeah, well
what can can we just say that you're Scottish and
get away with What.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
You could do is just wash the trailer. I'm sure
you might have. I don't know if you might have
not even heard of it, but just wash the trailer
and you'll be like, I'm locked in. And then obviously
the second one came out and it's just a continuation
of how the first one is, and you like it.
I loved it. Me and my fiance were blown away
by it. Didn't have the action that because the accident.
The first one is like, yo, this is insane, like

(15:03):
for real. But then the second one it's more about
the story and it's like, Okay, there's a few acting scenes,
but it's not all about guns blazing. Will be still
in the day guest, No, So you know, obviously Gerard
Butler returns, oh, Shay Jackson returns, but it's after that
it's pretty much a whole new cast just because of
how if you watch the first one, you're like, oh,
if that makes sense. Yeah. But another movie that I

(15:24):
did end up watching was Nosfaratu the New Vampire right
up your Alley.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
It was it was like a love story. It was
not what I was expecting. It was cool. I enjoyed
it a little bit. Yeah, it was just more of
like a story I was I was expecting more like
this dude's just killing a bunch of people, but this
dude's trying to find love. You know, he's trying to
just he's being a lovey dovey vampire. He's not the No.
He was like, he attacked this woman's dreams and she

(15:54):
was willing to give herself to him, and he was like, yes,
my love, and then you know, a look, creepy love
you It was because this is, at the end of
the day, this is a blood sucking vampire, like you
don't really love you. He just wants your blood. You know,
he wants he wants a queen. Obviously, he wants to
be able to raise you know, ken and take over
the world. That's the main element of it. But it was.
It was a lot more different than what you've seen

(16:16):
from a lot of other vampire movies. This was more like, oh,
he's in love, he really liked this girl. Okay, Dracula, Okay,
like you're yeah, but it was. It was an okay film.

Speaker 6 (16:26):
If you're marketing it like a true like horror Dracula.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I mean, I mean there are scenes where you're like,
well that was gross, but then you're like, oh, this
guy's just looking for the next you know, it's queen,
just like the rest of us. So he just having
to suck blood for a living. But yeah, overall, the
story was cool. I like the actors in it.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
What do you do for a living? I suck blood?

Speaker 7 (16:48):
Great?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Great?

Speaker 6 (16:49):
Great?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Throw what's his name that plays Green Goblin and Spider
Man is in it? Oh my gosh, original, Yeah, someone
say his name? Come on, don't look it up, Jackson,
don't look at.

Speaker 6 (16:57):
Us, son of a gun. It's Bliam Dafoe.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yes, his role is hilariously good.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
Willem not William.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Oh, you're right, it is Willem. I've been screwing that
up for the last twenty years. Wow, twenty years to
realize it's Willem Dafoe, not William.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
Well.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
That that and Aaron Taylor Johnson's also you're talking Bill
the next Bond Please Bill scar what's his name? Card? Yeah,
he plays the Yeah, kick it. If you're interested, I'd
say check it out. You know, don't expect like vampire
just killing you know, one hundred people in the film.

(17:35):
That's it's not that's not it, okay, but it's more
about him just attaching to this young lady through demonics.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
So your thumbs up on two movies that you saw.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, shows or just no, it's just the movies.
I mean, shoot, I've been so busy with work and whatnot.
I haven't even caught up on shows. But movies with you.
I got two for you if you got the chance,
and I emailed Anderson one as well.

Speaker 7 (17:58):
You emailed me the like the illegal stream link to it?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, that what you don't have to worry about trying
to find it all? Is that?

Speaker 6 (18:05):
Which one was that email?

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Prometheus? Oh yeah, because I don't know, I don't know
where it's at.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
Let's let's just look it up here. Where's where is Prometheus?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Streaming?

Speaker 6 (18:15):
Frome THEUS found? Where's Primetheus found?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
No? Where's printheus? Streaming Amazon? To buy it everywhere with me?
Four bucks? Okay it is when take money, it's four dollars.

Speaker 6 (18:28):
It's genuinely worth the four dollars. It's a great movie.

Speaker 7 (18:31):
All right, all right, I'll check it out.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
It's also check it out Ridley for Ridley Scott. Like
Ridley Scott has done a lot of good things.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
But he said that, I really know.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
Here's the thing that he doesn't like Ridley, and and
there's a lot of reasons to not like Ridley. I
think Ridley Scott hasn't done a great movie outside in
a long side. Oh you know what, screw me. He
did The Martian. I think The Martians of the Last.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
The main character in that, God damn he smokes that.
Oh my gosh, great film.

Speaker 7 (18:59):
He did a Napoleon which was.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
Bad, bad, last Duel Alien Covenant. But I mean.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
In the Martian like he's been. He's done a lot
of bad Anderson. When you get home, I'm gonna call
you what you're doing. But oh, the cracking game is ended.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Gladiator too. I think we shared to take a bloody
or two that if you don't see it, you're not
missing anything.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, that's okay. It was a money rob, clearly, but
that's what I'm watching. Who wants to go next?

Speaker 6 (19:24):
Anderson? Why don't you go?

Speaker 7 (19:26):
We mentioned it on our last podcast without Christopher. I
haven't seen it since like since then, but I have
failed to mention it. It's one of my favorite movies.
It's The Nice Guys, Absolutely, just a great movie all around,
Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe. I think there's a couple of
others in it, but they're the main main guys.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
It's it's about this uh, single father with a daughter
and there's like kind of a mystery going on, uh
and they're trying to like solve it. And there's like
kind of these gangsters that are threatening some things. And
it's and it takes place in the seventies when you
know you wouldn't necessarily go with just the cops. You

(20:05):
could hire these like private investigators or private you know, hitman.
I guess not really Hitman, but that kind of you
go in like, heytors, yeah, there you go. But it
the action's fantastic, the comedy's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Script, the script's really really good.

Speaker 7 (20:22):
But then there's like there's other elements too that the
story is actually very captivating for me, Like it's not
supposed to be. I don't feel like it was like
not the strongest part of like the selling point of
It's supposed to be just kind of this fun like Okay,
Ryan Gosling and Russell Krowe going and beating up guys
and being funny, right, But the story is actually pretty captivating,

(20:43):
So I'm not going to say much more than that.
There's a couple interesting twists to it. I had a
really good time with it. It's one of my favorite movies.
I kind of watched it like a couple of years ago,
just throwing on a random movie and actually absolutely loving.

Speaker 6 (20:56):
Let's continue the theme here, Christopher, what are you doing tonight?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Tonight? I will be probably be watching pro Medius.

Speaker 7 (21:02):
I'm not gonna lie to You've you've seen Prometheus watch
the nice Guys.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, it's it's good.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
It's I mean, Ryan, we talked about it last week.
Ryan Gosling like the just the the charisma he has.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
And I've seen this.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
It's two anti heroes that just I've seen it.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
So good, so great.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah, I won't spoil anything. I was gonna say something,
it'll be right, it would spoil too much. It is
just such a it's.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
A fun movie.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
It's super fun.

Speaker 6 (21:28):
It's so The lasting memory that I have is I
remember going to my parents' house and watching The Nice
Guys and with my dad and my mom was there.
I think it was before I don't remember if my
wife was there or not. And about five minutes in,
my mom already kind of gets the feel about what
this is about.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
She's like, Okay, this isn't for me. That's my last memory.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
Like, Okay, I know, okay, this is gonna be a
good movie.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Okay, maybe I haven't. I'm trying to think you should.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
Watch it, because I feel like you remember it if.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
You saw it.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
Yeah, it's very memorable.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I didn't see this mysterious. Yeah, oh yeah, that's that's
how it starts.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
The Death of a porn Star. That just tells you
everything you need to.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Know, yeah, yes it does.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
What a film?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
What a film.

Speaker 7 (22:10):
It's fantastic. So that's my one recommendation since since last week,
I know, Jackson, you started season two of Arcane.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
I did. I won't spoil anything for you.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
Just get me a quick like rundown of what you
think of it so far, because I have not started
season two yet.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
So it's my.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
Workout show and I just I spend the forty five
minutes on the elliptical watching it each time. So I'm
through episode three. First episode great, second episode good. And
the third episode of season two is the first episode
of Arcane.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
That lost me.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Oh really, And I can't.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
Necessarily say why yet, all right, but but for the
first time in this series, I guess I can say this.
I think they're trying to do too much, all right.
I think they're going a little bit too far in
a certain direction. Even that's probably too vague to say,
but regardless.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
That's fine.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
Yeah. So so it's it's funny. I think I think
they had an idea and now they're kind of no
longer have a great idea. But nonetheless, Arcane season two,
I think even if you don't end up watching season two,
the first season is so damn good.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
But we said on them, we said last week like
we was afraid.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
We were both fearing this.

Speaker 7 (23:22):
It's hard to live up to the standard. I mean
it has one hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which is
very hard to do.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Really.

Speaker 7 (23:28):
Yeah, So, I mean you're literally playing Prometheus right now
as I just podcast intriguing Chris Good.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
It's on mute, Chris.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
We're not we're not watching movies while we talk about
other movies.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Just literally turn. I know it's the nice guys.

Speaker 6 (23:45):
Tonight we'll watch four brothers instead.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Uh, two brothers from Rick and Morning. Two brothers, four brothers?
Why does that sound somewhat familiar? Andre three thousand, Mark
Wahlberg Gibson.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
I've never seen this classic. Mark Wahlberg is definitely on
my no list.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, it's a good one.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
What you watching?

Speaker 6 (24:05):
Yeah, so a lot because I watch ridiculous amounts of
arcane television, so arcane use my workout show. I also
have started the occasional workout when I'm not watching arcanes,
Superman and Lowis because I'm just soaking up all the
Superman Superman content i can. Because there was a new
trailer that came out during the Conference Championships where we

(24:26):
finally got to see David corn Sweat as Superman flying
through the air. And it just looks so freaking awesome trailer.

Speaker 7 (24:32):
I can't tell you too much about it, but it
looks good.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
I cannot freaking wait for this. So I'm just I'm
a Superman and Lois was on the CW, but you
would never know it's a CW show. It looks like
a show that was on HBO. Really, it's like CW
basically took their entire budget for every show on the
CW and staid, we're dumping it into Superman and lowess
ridiculously this one, Okay, yeah, shockingly because Seth Everett, who

(24:57):
does a really good podcast kind of like our uh call,
what the hell is it called?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I forget what it's called, but it's a it's a
good podcast. And that's the one that Superman.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
What's the show that Superman gives.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
Up please or something of justice? Superman gives up his powers?
That Various versions have done that. The original Superman series
did that with one with christ Brandon. Routh hinted at it,
but I don't think he ever actually did in Superman
returns Smallville.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
That's what it is. No, I didn't watch Smallville, but
that's that's the what I'm booking.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
I am watching Superman and Lowis, which was on the
c W, and it's it's really really good. I'm shocked
by a c W show being this good. Wow, Severance
I started season two. It's starting off strong ish, I think,
but overall it had such a strong first season, same
thing as Arcane. Like the first season was so good.
Going into season two, you're naturally asking the question, how

(25:51):
is it going to live up to it? And it's
done a couple very interesting things. They do something in
the first episode in the second episode that have two
different perspect actives and they actually and they the same
scene from two different perspectives, but they time it up perfectly.
So if you and I watched a reel of this
where they showed the scene from the first episode and
the scene from the second episode, and they show you

(26:14):
that the timing actually was perfect on both of them,
perfected on both of them. So they're doing some cool things,
but again, how do you how do you get better
from what was such a great, great first season? I
don't know. Also, a few movies that we did over
the weekend. We had a kind of a movie day
a little bit on Saturday.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
Did you watch the one that I recommended for you?

Speaker 6 (26:35):
I don't remember what the recommendations were.

Speaker 7 (26:37):
You put Father the Bride on top of your list.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
You said, we're gonna save that for a date night. Nice,
And so these are We kind of watched a few
more emotional movies. We weren't. It wasn't necessarily a day
to kind of keep a mood up. It was a
day to be in our feelings a little bit. I'm
gonna pound the drum again. I told you guys, we
watched Flow last week, which was the Golden Globe winner
for an made a Picture phenomenal movie. So we went

(27:02):
back and watched The Wild Robot again, which should probably
have come in second place. In most years, Wild Robot
would win Best Animated Movie. It may still win the Oscar.
The Wild Robot is free on Peacock right now, and
I will again just watching it on our new TV
that I mentioned, which is just kind of this like, Wow,
my gosh, all the bells, bell and the whistle. First

(27:25):
ever TV I've had to have all of these whistles,
and it just looks insane. There's various scenes with colors
and the forest and kind of painting backgrounds that you
notice that.

Speaker 7 (27:34):
Which film do you prefer between those two?

Speaker 6 (27:36):
And that's a great question here, and and I think
like there's various scenes and moments in the Wild Robot
that are better, Like I think I think it's highs
are higher, but it's.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Lows or lower.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
But overall, flow is just the more consistently great and flows.
And it's sort of like, if I'm the rateum, I'm
given flow like a ninety five in the Wild Robot
like a ninety four.

Speaker 7 (27:58):
Got my joke, it flows, Yeah, we heard it.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
So they're close. They're very very close. I think I
think it's a deserving winner, but I'll pound the drum
again for a while Robot being being one of the
best animated movies in years, but it's going up against
a behemoth, so it didn't win. We also watched Interstellar,
speaking of Matt Damon in space.

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Yes that's the better one, my god, Oh.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, I mean Interstellar it just gets you every time
when they're flying by what was it Jupiter, and you're
just like, that's what it would look like. What's so crazy?

Speaker 6 (28:36):
It's a great point because as they're approaching the wormhole
and the way that Christopher Nolan shows a wormhole and
then like that he takes the moment to be like,
oh it's a cylinder or it's like it's like a sphere. Yeah,
well what did you think it was gonna be? And
then they actually do the science behind why it wouldn't
be just a hole and why it would be a sphere,
and like just the little things the time dilation going

(28:59):
down it like that's that's you know the moments where
did they come back to the thing the AGAs.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Those aren't clouds, those are waves.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
Was no, it wasn't mountains, those are waves.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
Nonetheless, get out. So my wife forgot that part. So
so so they're coming down and I asked her as
they're flying down, I'm like, do you remember this? And
she's like no, And I'm like, it's the best part
of the whole home My gotcha, because it's pretty quick
once they land they figure out that those are waves
and you start to see it as the viewer too.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Like you're like wait a seconds.

Speaker 7 (29:30):
But also like the reason they went down there is
because like, oh, this guy sent this signal up like
what thirty forty years ago, but and we haven't heard
from him. So then you go down and realize there's equipment,
that's what like that, that's where he was, here's here's
and the previous wave that literally they went down right
after it happened exactly.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
So here's Mike, the one that hit him.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
I was.

Speaker 6 (29:53):
I went back. I've been doing this recently. I've been
going back and reading like movie discussions online after they've
come and came out.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
For me, there's ago.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
Yeah, and here's a very interesting plot hole in Interstellar.
And I want to run this by you guys, because
I know you're both Interstellar fans. If the scientists knew
that the surface of this planet was what is it
one hour? There is seven years on Earth, right, and
science scientists on Earth already know that. Yes, facts okay,

(30:23):
when they do the calculation and say, yeah, this person
pinged that it was safe. And the person clearly pinged
like within you know a little bit of landing that
it is safe to land.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Right, like it's it's habitable. There's two points here.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
He wouldn't There have only been a couple pings of yes,
this is habitable, Yes, this is safe. Not like it
wouldn't have been a ping, ping, ping, ping over the
course of thirty years. It would have been like one
or two pings, right, yes, before a wave got the
person right, okay if you then it would have been
maybe one or two pings. But then wouldn't the scientists
folks back at NASA say, yeah, but the person's only

(31:02):
been there for three minutes, because we can do the
time calculation and we know they've only been there. We've
been there, they've been there for less than an hour. Yeah,
so halo, Like no, it wouldn't have It wouldn't have
been all the you know, the yes, it's safe, because
you would have seen like, no, how is the person
pinging and saying it's safe You've only been there for
ten minutes?

Speaker 7 (31:22):
Well, I think the fact that they were they needed
to go find someplace quickly because Earth was about to be.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
Was that the first Yeah, that was the first planet
they went to.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
And the Earth was about to be obstructed, like you,
we need to find somewhere like now.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
And if they pined just once, you just.

Speaker 7 (31:38):
Got to find somewhere where you can have it habitable.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
Like so the person thought that the must person who
landed thought, oh, those must be mountains immediate ping, and
then realized instantly afterwards, oh crap, those aren't mountains.

Speaker 7 (31:50):
But even if they are waves, like is if you
have the ability to like obviously construct things that can
withstand all that, Like I don't know, just going down
in one little tiny ship, you're not going to be
able to write, right, But you're just looking at the
science from like, because not every every planet is like, oh,
there's life on this planet and we can breathe, and

(32:10):
then all the other science stuff that goes in with
besides just the fact that oh, yeah, you might get
crushed by a wave, you know.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
So I just I think he's just.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
Focused on those little things versus like the oh yeah,
that thing that's coming at me.

Speaker 6 (32:21):
I guess if I was the person who landed, I
would have said to myself, I'm gonna give this thirty
minutes to send a ping that it's safe.

Speaker 7 (32:27):
But I'm just going to give some time here. Thirty minutes.
How that's a long time on Earth. Everyone could be
in a half years, everyone could be dead by the
point you sent that time you send that ping?

Speaker 6 (32:37):
Fair, Yeah, it's it is interesting, Yeah, it's it's kind
of it's a point that I that I hadn't really
thought about before of like, oh, NASA knows that he
the person who sent the penalty, only been down there
for a few minutes. Nonetheless, I mean, listen, it's it's
a small thought to what is just a spectacular movie.
And Hans Zimmer's score is just absolutely ridiculous. And my

(33:00):
got Interstellar, And then we also watched Role Models.

Speaker 7 (33:05):
That movie, yea, I'll take that's actually congratulations, You're stupid and.

Speaker 6 (33:17):
Paul Rudd and Sean Williams Scott great movie. And then
they had Christopher Min's plause from super Bad and I
don't know who played the little kid who just swears
a lookup storm. We watched the unrated edition. I think
it's an unrated available on Max.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
And it's just.

Speaker 7 (33:33):
As another example of one of those movies that wouldn't
get made today. It's the early it's the mid two
thousand comedy.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
It's so funny. I forgot how funny it was. Your
wife said, you know, when was the last time you
saw Roll Models. I like, probably when it came out,
And no, it holds up and it's so freakin funny.
So if you're looking for a comedy this weekend role
Models on Max. It is just utterly ridiculous and amazing.

Speaker 7 (33:57):
All right, can I reckom and one more than Yeah?
That this one made me think about it and both
by saying the nice guys and role models kind of
put those two things together. The other guys with Will Ferrell,
Mark Wahlberg, it's a great one. It's a fantastic one.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
It's we can make it. They jumped.

Speaker 7 (34:19):
Have you not seen the other guys, Chris, I have
seen the other guys. Yeah, it's it's a class.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
I mean, it's it is. It is truly one of
in that prime of like two thousand, yes to two
thousand and well, yeah, in that range like that dozen
years was the best years for comedy ever.

Speaker 7 (34:35):
Yeah, that's where you would get the super bads. The
old School God, Old School's fantastic Old School.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Old School was after two thousand, right.

Speaker 7 (34:42):
Oh yeah, it's like two thousand and four and five
something like that. But yeah, that's that's another great one.
All the adage Sandler in his prime, all that stuff.
So yeah, now the other guy is great because it's
Will Ferrell being like he kind of plays a similar
character as he does an elf or he's kind of
kind of dumb but in like a weird way.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
Dat don't mess exactly, and he turns into the uh
the guy for Eva Mendez.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yes, and then the pimp.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
The best scene in it is when he starts smack
talking with Mark Wahlberg. So the premise is that he's
partners with Mark Wahlberg, who's this classic cop who likes
to go and like shoot things and do everything and
like but he can't like hold himself. And then Will
Ferrell's character, I forget his name, but is more like
a by the book guy. He's more done things behind
the scenes and like he's super nerdy, uh he and.

Speaker 6 (35:31):
But at the same time he is a dark side
exactly exactly. So so the question is for the Bushes,
we can make it. So the question then is what
is your favorite scene from the other guy?

Speaker 2 (35:41):
That one right there?

Speaker 7 (35:42):
Yeah minus minus when they still hate each other they
haven't like kind of come around yet and uh like
I forget how it started, but then they just okay,
I have to look this up.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
You go, you go, I was gonna from for me
when they shoot Derek Jeter and the the whole shooting
of Jared Jeter because Mark Wahlberg actually shoots Derek Jeter
and I'm not actually in real life, but then like
after he shoots him, Jeter is like, almost fine, Jeter
says you a whole I'm Derek Jeter.

Speaker 7 (36:13):
Okay, okay, here it is, which part for you? Uh?
Can we just play it?

Speaker 6 (36:19):
I mean it doesn't swear. I don't I don't know.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
And you don't need to you don't need to view it.
It's honestly just you could hear it.

Speaker 6 (36:25):
And okay, so if you can bring the micup, ol, just.

Speaker 7 (36:28):
Bring on YouTube on yours, just say the other guy
lion versus Tuna lion.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Ah.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Yeah, one of my favorite, one of my favorite moments
in all of comedy.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Honestly, I think I feel like we can do this.

Speaker 7 (36:40):
This is yeah, I don't think it. If it swears, we.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
Can market Let's let's see here. Oh yeah, this is
this is gonna work.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
You know what I just did.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
I just walked out that door so a couple of
detectives that I was about to start bad mouthing you
behind your back, but I stopped myself because my pops
taught me that a man who talks behind somebody's back
is a coward.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Wow, I actually appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Good.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
So I'm gonna tell you direct me to your face.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
You don't have to.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
I don't like you.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
I think you're a fake coup. The sound of your
piss hitting the urine, it sounds feminine. If we're in
the wild, I would attack you, even if you weren't
in my food chain. I would go out of my
way to attack you. If I were a lion and
you were a tuna, I would swim out in the
middle of the ocean and.

Speaker 7 (37:20):
Freaking eat you.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yes, okay, First off, a lion swimming in the ocean.
Lions don't like water. If you place it near a
river or some sort of fresh water source, that makes sense.
But you find yourself in the ocean twenty foot waves,
I'm assuming it's off the coast of South Africa, coming
out of coal grown eight hundred pound tuna with his
twenty or thirty friends.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
You lose that battle.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
You lose that battle nine times out of ten.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
And guess what. You've wandered into our school of tuna
and we now have a taste of lion. We've talked
to ourselves, we've communicated.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
And said, you know what, lion tastes good.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
More line, We've developed a system to establish the beachhead
and aggressively hunt you and your family, and we will
corner your your pride, your children, your We will construct
a series of breathing out of the.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Live in the amounts of oxygen. It's not gonna be days
at a time, but our hour for.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
That will give us enough time to figure out where
you live, go back to.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
The sea, get more oxygen, and then stone. You just
lost your own game. You're out gunned and outmanned.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Wait lait, wait one more?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Did that go the way you thought it was gonna go?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Nope.

Speaker 7 (38:38):
One of the best scenes in all comedy right there.

Speaker 6 (38:41):
I was just I wonder how much of that was
actually scripted.

Speaker 7 (38:45):
I bet it was like, Yeah, he's going to tell
you this story about being a lion and run hunting
you down.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Then you just react.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
Was it was it actually? Uh? Because I'm I'm thinking
that that one actually wasn't That.

Speaker 7 (38:59):
Sounds like Will Ferrell just being Will Ferreld.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
Completely does I don't know if that was actually a
scripted or not. He opens up, there's a shouting match.
It'll make sense when you see it. It was totally
hold on, I actually have it right here. Adam McKay,
the director, did an interview where he opened up about
that exact scene. So let's see here. It was totally improvised. Yeah,

(39:22):
that was like, wow, it was totally There was a
there's a shouting match between the two. It involves a
tune to fighting on line. It'll make sense when you
see it. But it was totally improvised on the spot.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
So that's amazing.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
It is so good, those two going back and forth.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
So good god. I love that legends absolutely.

Speaker 7 (39:39):
I love that movie.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
They could do it. They could do a sequel to that.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
Okay, they could do an Okay, before we get to
our draft, we're gonna tease what next week's drafts. Get
it be?

Speaker 6 (39:49):
That's good, that's good. Who had the idea for this one?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
I did go ahead. Movies that should have been sequels, Yes,
there are so many, just what do you It still
hasn't come out yet, so that'll be a fun one
for sure. Next week. Let's do it, all right.

Speaker 6 (40:05):
I'm excited. I gotta bring up I gotta bring up
the randomizer here, random number generator. There's three of us
because Jessmin couldn't be bothered to join us today. We're
gonna first do anders and Andrews gets two? Chris, you
get one, and that means I get three.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Oh, this is tough. I get the first overall, Chris,
the first overall pick. You know what I will go with?
Jurassic Park? The Lost World? Okay?

Speaker 6 (40:31):
Was that a planned trilogy at the start?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
I don't think so. No, it was not. I think
they said was just based off the book, and they said,
let's make a movie here.

Speaker 6 (40:42):
The new one is actually gonna have a scene from
was not explicitly planned as a trilogy. Yeah, there you go,
Drastic World. Lost World is yours?

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Is that just?

Speaker 7 (40:50):
Is that draft part two?

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Yes? It is called the Sorry to confuse, Yes, called
I did.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
I just didn't know.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Kay, just actually just called the Lost World. Is it
really just called the Lost World?

Speaker 7 (41:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Lost World colon Jurassic Park.

Speaker 7 (41:02):
It's actually opposite.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
That's weird.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
He screwed him from making it funky? Yes, that's my
first overall why. First of all, the first one.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Was just insane. He's really good, really good. Yeah, but
then they fought up with the second one and they
did a really good job. Like I didn't expect that.
And that's I could watch the first one, the second one,
and third one all the time anytime I want you good.
They're just that good. After the third one it gets
to be like, all right, what are we doing why?
But the second one, I think you get to see

(41:33):
doctor Malcolm and a whole new light, you know. And
the first one he was the jokester. He was the
funny guy, and.

Speaker 7 (41:38):
You see billionaire philanthropist, and he still is that guy,
but now he's more serious because he has a family,
he has a girlfriend, There's things that are important to him,
and he you see a different side of the Beau
the Jassic Park.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
You only got to see maybe twenty minutes of him
on film. In those twenty minutes, he was great. Is
that the Jeff Gooblum character, say yes, Jeff Global And
then the second one he just oh my gosh, this
is development. This Okay, let's keep this character going. But nonetheless,
I thought he was just an exciting piece to that movie.
He brought charisma, comedy, comedic relief, I should say, and

(42:10):
then some drama where it's like okay, he's dead ass,
Like this is not a laughing ha ha moment. Like
the scene where his daughter is like, I want you
to stay with me up up high in the in
the in the trees and the trees from the t
rex and he's like, I have to go back down
and make sure everyone's cool. My girlfriend's back here. I
got a double check. And he ropes down and the

(42:31):
rope he didn't fasten himself on the rope, so he
just falls like ten feet and in the movie you
hear him like ah, and you hear the crash and
she's like, Dad, are you okay? And he's like, yep,
I'm good and he just runs into the into the
the trailer where they're all taking care of the baby
t recks. Just little scenes like that that were hilarious
but serious, and I thought Jeff Goblum just really did

(42:52):
a really good job with that, and I thought the
good directors did a good job of that film overall,
because making a second one after the first one step
that's just that's tough to do. Yeah, and they did it,
and they were successful, and that's why they said, you
know what, damn it, let's make a third And Okay.
That's just my favorite.

Speaker 6 (43:07):
Available in stars right now.

Speaker 7 (43:09):
By the way, by the way, I respect that because
I've never seen the second one and i've never seen
the third one. I have seen Jurassic World, though, so
I watched the first one. Obviously it's iconic.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
And then there's a new one coming out too, with
Scarlett Johansson's.

Speaker 7 (43:20):
Yeah, that's the third of the new ones, which it's
there's a point where it gets too much and no, no, no,
it's the fourth.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
They did three. They did three with Chris Pratt.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Chris Pratt had three Chris Pratt three. It was a
Jurassic part.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
No I'm saying, I'm saying of the New World they've
done and now and now they're doing Rebirth. So now
they're doing the seventh.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Jurassic Jurassic World.

Speaker 6 (43:44):
Dominion, yeah, Dominion was was the third.

Speaker 7 (43:47):
What was the second one?

Speaker 6 (43:48):
I don't know one word where there was definitely a
second one, but this I think that the new and Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (43:55):
So so Dominion, Dominion was the third, and then now
they're doing Rebirth with with Charlette Johansson.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Jurassic World was fine, but screamed to me, we didn't
need another one.

Speaker 6 (44:06):
We didn't or whatever any of these. Dominion was terrible.
Dominion was legit.

Speaker 7 (44:12):
They didn't need to do the first one. I mean,
I get why they did it, but it was like,
so it's much better from the original one, Yes, far better.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Yes, Okay, if you're I know, you have a bunch
of things you want to watch. But at some point
Lost World or something, and even the third one it's
a lot shorter, but they bring a new dinosaur like
the spinosaurus, Like, have you ever done your research on
that one? That was probably the most feared dinosaur outside
of the t rex and the But yeah, I mean
then after that they just got crazy. They just started
doing too much. And my pick number two overall, this

(44:40):
is going to be a controversial one.

Speaker 7 (44:41):
And you can tell me it's not a sequel Mad
Max Fury Road.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
It's absolutely a sequel. It's on my list, right, And
screw you for taking tremendous.

Speaker 7 (44:50):
One of my favorite movies of all time if it's
probably in my top five, honestly.

Speaker 6 (44:54):
Because because Miller took over for I want, I forget
how many movies he had done, or if he had
done all of the Mad Max. So literally, Fury Road
is in succession because if you look in the universe,
it is like like Fury Road actually comes after the
world is fully developed from the movies in the eighties.

(45:16):
It's pretty lazies, so so very clearly this is just
an extension, new actor, same character sequel.

Speaker 7 (45:23):
And I'm almost positive the original Mad Max was supposed
to be just one movie and then they kept making more, right, I'm.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
Not sure about that, but I know the original is
like I remember watching the very.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Very first Terror.

Speaker 7 (45:35):
Yeah, and then even if Warrior number two, Road Warrior
was a great movie, I remember that, Yeah, Warriors. A
lot of people like Road Warrior, but even if those
were meant to be like, this is kind of a
sequel to those, if that makes sense, So like it's
I whole separate thing. Yeah, So Mad Max Viery just
honestly just talking about the movie as a Tom Tom
Hardy's awesome.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
He's so, so, so good.

Speaker 7 (45:56):
But the star of that movie is Charlie's Yeah, And honestly,
it's the coloring in the film. I haven't seen the
one that's just black and white, but supposedly it's pretty good.
Interested in that, it's like like it's it's a certain
edition of it that like is because it's so much
on the desert and you know a fun fact about

(46:19):
that they actually filmed mostly at night time and then
added in all the color to make its Pop's actually.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
Film in Australia. Yes, I believe it because obviously it's
supposed to be set in Australia.

Speaker 7 (46:31):
Where did they film Mad Max?

Speaker 6 (46:33):
I mean they could do it in Jordan like all
the maybe, yes, yeah, it's in Africa, so many of
those those movies are filmed, yes, and maybe you're Jordan
or somewhere in those countries. But yeah, but still it
looks like Australia in the middle Australia.

Speaker 7 (46:45):
Yeah. And it's oh my god, it's the underrated score,
underrated score. The story is awesome, the action it's critically
known as one of the best action movies of all time,
and it's non stop for the entire movie.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
And it's so good.

Speaker 6 (47:04):
So I think the only question now is does Furiosa
get taken at some point in the rest of this draft?

Speaker 7 (47:09):
For me, no, I didn't love it.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
I think Furiosa is not If Mad Max is like
a you know, eighty nine, it might be an eighty eight.

Speaker 7 (47:17):
I put it closer like a ninety five in terms
of my rating for Mad Max. Not far off right great.
It's one of my all time favorites. I honestly again
one of those where you didn't expect it when you
were gonna watch it, And then I actually was forced
to watch it for a film class in college that
I took, and the guy kind of just basically said, yeah,

(47:37):
it's a great movie. It's basically non stop.

Speaker 6 (47:40):
Out watch Mad Max for school. Yeah, Jesus Christ was great,
that's true.

Speaker 7 (47:44):
Seattle you anyways, And one last aspect of it, the
world building. It's you don't have to have watched the
first three eighties movies Mad Max is you understand everything
about the world. It's a post apocalyptic obviously, and it's
explained in such a nuanced way that it's easy to

(48:07):
grasp but also really deep and you feel like you're
understanding more at the same time.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
It's so good the opening of the movie where you're
standing next to the car and then he just kills
the lizard, yes, eats the lizard, gets in his car
and drives off following being chased. The video game, by
the way, the Mad Max video game awesome.

Speaker 7 (48:26):
I haven't played so awesome.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
Yeah, it's like five bucks and it's a great video game.
It's a little bit like Grand Theft Auto, but set
in the Mad Max universe. Yeah, really good. All right,
My first overall pick is Top Gun Maverick. I talked
a lot on the podcast last week about Top Gun Maverick,
which we watched last week, and I was just reminded
how freaking awesome.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Of a movie it is.

Speaker 6 (48:49):
And it's boosted by the fact that I think it
really saved a lot of parts of Hollywood. Yeah, got
people going back to the movies in twenty twenty one
after the pandemic, And had we not had Top Gun
map Rick, like, would Hollywood be where it is now
in terms of just getting people, you know, regularly back.
I mean, I'm not going to the movies like I
was in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, and I think a

(49:10):
lot of that is just Top Gun Maverick got people
back in the rhythm of oh yeah, summer blockbusters. Of
course I'm going to the movies. And not to mention
it's just a great movie.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
It's just a great movie.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
It's just just just it's it's almost as perfect as
you can get just a basic action movie. And then
it throws a nice romance angle in there. It's not
obscene romance. I think it's not. It's not like it's
very tasteful. I mean, Jennifer Connolly is beautiful.

Speaker 7 (49:38):
Oh really really zero over there on your shoulder, man, bruh, continue,
Jennifer Connolly, I'll have that reaction.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
Bruh.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Yeah, bruh. She's gorgeous.

Speaker 6 (49:54):
And and overall, I think I think top Gun Maverick
is for what it did, for what it is. I
also love the fact that it isn't like seat it
was actually real effects. Those guys, whether it's you know,
Glenn Powell, whether it is Tom Cruise, they are actually
sitting in the back seat of these jets, and there

(50:15):
are cameras positioned to the back of the front seat,
and there are actual fighter pilots file flying these planes,
and all the g's that they're feeling, and all the
reactions of like when they're just twisting and.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Not special effects.

Speaker 6 (50:29):
It's real reactions of these guys being pulled in the
g forces pulling in and you feel it. And I
remember seeing Maverick, maybe it was a week after it opened,
because I wanted to wait to see the reaction. I
was like, oh crap, this is amazing and even then,
I think I think it might have just always been
when you saw in the theater Tom Cruise came on

(50:50):
before the movie and he gives this kind of speech of.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Like, listen, this was real. We put years and years
into this movement. It's meant to be seen here.

Speaker 6 (51:00):
So thank and he's like, thank you for coming to
the theater and seeing it, And it kind of looks
him saying that coming out of the pandemic. It's like
the biggest action star in Hollywood telling you individually, thank
you for coming to the theater and spending your time
and your money to come back to the theater and
see this. We poured our heart and souls into this,
so many people did. It was like, no, thank you

(51:23):
Tom Cruise for being the biggest action star in Hollywood. Yeah,
Mavericks just freaking awesome.

Speaker 7 (51:28):
Also kick started a kind of prime and that's Glenn Powell,
which we talked about last week. So that's another reason why.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Thank you Tom Cruise.

Speaker 7 (51:37):
I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan, to be honest,
but God, I.

Speaker 6 (51:39):
Love when he hits.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Oh he hits. He hits like Mission Impossible hits.

Speaker 6 (51:45):
Do I do it right now?

Speaker 4 (51:46):
No?

Speaker 6 (51:46):
I'm not gonna do it right now. I'm not gonna
do it because it's on the list and I'm not
gonna do it yet. Blater on our twenty forty nine.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Damn its screw you, Jackson Feltz, I almost swore home.

Speaker 6 (51:58):
What do we need to say about Blader Under twenty
forty nine? We talked about not Channing Tatum Jeesus. We
talked about Ryan Gosling and the charisma he has.

Speaker 7 (52:07):
Ryan Gosling and and you don't give it to me
and come on on.

Speaker 6 (52:11):
A day armis on like the one hundred foot screen
naked Lah. Also, you know, listen, I get that he
doesn't really care that much anymore about a lot of
what he does. But it's funny because I don't want
to be too critical, because I think that at the

(52:33):
end of the day, we're talking about somebody who in
Harrison Ford, by the way, who pours his soul into
a lot of content. But he's very clearly tired of
some of the roles he's done. And I wouldn't say
he mailed in Blader Under twenty forty nine, but all
the other really good performances do make up for I
think where he's kind of nailing in a little bit.

Speaker 7 (52:54):
Yeah, a week point, He's a week point movie.

Speaker 6 (52:55):
But nonetheless, I mean, the action, the story is very
there good. The cinematography is probably the best cinematography maybe
I've ever seen.

Speaker 7 (53:06):
The colors Man so good. I mean score once again.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
Oh, it's it's it's phenomenal. Blader In twenty forty nine
for me was an obvious pick in these first one.

Speaker 7 (53:16):
Ryan Gosling, An Armas, h Harrison Ford, Yes, Mackenzie Davis,
Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Dave bout Da.

Speaker 6 (53:23):
Dabot Debatis is great. Yeah, Dabouts is really fun and
it's it's it's.

Speaker 7 (53:27):
In roles that you wouldn't expect for a lot of
these guys, Like Robin writes this like hard nose, like
just absolutely rude to all replicants. Again, it's very existential too,
Like it's similar to the first one. There's very few
on these lists that I'm assuming that we're all gonna
have that we think are probably better than the original
Blade Wunder twenty forty nine accounts, Top Gun Maveri accounts.

(53:50):
So you nailed your first two picks.

Speaker 6 (53:51):
All right, Andrews, You're back to you for number five?

Speaker 4 (53:53):
Al Right?

Speaker 2 (53:53):
I'm gonna come and uh after that.

Speaker 7 (53:55):
Damn it, I should pick that first overall. Okay, well,
hold on, if I had picked Blade Wunder twenty four nine,
would you have picked mad Max for your oad as yours?

Speaker 6 (54:02):
No, I would have picked something else.

Speaker 7 (54:03):
God, damn it, so I could have had both of them, right, whatever, Okay,
this one is probably gonna come as a surprise. I'm
gonna go on the animated side of things. Shrek two.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
Well, yeah, well I guess it wouldn't have been planned.

Speaker 7 (54:18):
No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Yeah, that's this is a classic.

Speaker 6 (54:20):
I don't remember Shrek too Oh really, I remember Shrek
one being incredible, but I don't remember much about Shrek too.

Speaker 7 (54:26):
We Shrek one is one of my favorite animated movies
of all time. Shrek two is the one of the
Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. I actually really like it.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
Oh yeah, where she sings I need a hero, that's right,
and so on.

Speaker 7 (54:42):
One great thing about Shrek is like they have really
good messages in these hilarious like animated movies that are
meant for kids. But he tries to change her Fiona
because like they go, she goes back to visit her
parents and it's it's her parents meeting Shrek for the
first time, and they expect her to be like from
the first movie. They expect her to be have changed

(55:03):
and be a human with some prince charming so quote unquote,
and they she comes back as an ogre with Shrek
as an Ogre, and her parents are like, Oh, what
the heck is going on here? In Shrek sees that
feels that wants to change for them, and it's it's
a heartwarming story but also hilarious as as you can
get at. Pust some Boots a great addition, great addition

(55:24):
to the cast because he wasn't in the first one.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
If you're noderis yes with Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Mike Myers,
like all of these guys in their prime, he doesn't
force is an old movie, but it does not age
poorly at all.

Speaker 7 (55:38):
Highly recommend if you have if you're someone that's averted
to sequels and like kind of tired of the old
Oh my god, another Malwana you know and other things,
you know, this is definitely one to check out. I
love Shrek too. There's so many great moments in it
and you definitely should check it out. And they go
back to Far Far Away, which is kind of like
a replicant of replica replica of Hollywood. And there's so

(56:03):
many like crossovers that it's it's really funny.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
I like when like.

Speaker 7 (56:08):
A fake world like that makes comparisons to real life,
and it's it's fun just to see all the little
things that they do.

Speaker 6 (56:15):
Shrek two, Chris, you're up with your next pick?

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Give me Toy Story two. Damn it? God, what do
I need to say? Come on?

Speaker 7 (56:24):
Is it better than the original?

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Right there? I say, I say no, but I say yes,
that's right there. I mean I couldn't be mad. Yeah,
I wouldn't be mad if you say yes, Anderson and
you say no.

Speaker 6 (56:34):
I still I still say, Toy Story three is better
than two.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Well that's fair, that's fair. Well you can't take that.

Speaker 6 (56:39):
I think it's I think it's an eight or whatever.

Speaker 2 (56:42):
It's like they're so close.

Speaker 6 (56:45):
Yeah, I mean you know it's still available absolutely because
because three wasn't planned. I mean three took what eight
years to put out? That's all that as well to
Uh so wait am I going there? You No, I'm
not taking it? So so yeah, so go back, go
back to h toy Story two, because we've talked about
it before.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
It's a great movie. Just a great movie.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Man.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
I love all the characters. It's just a fun You
get to sit around and be a kid for those
hour and forty minutes, and it's it's one of those
movies that will always just put a smile on your face,
no matter if you're having a bad day, a great day.
You put that on. You got a friend in me.
You just enjoyed. Yep.

Speaker 7 (57:22):
I like the addition of Jesse kind of similar distrect
to a great character that's added to the lineup. And
uh yeah, I think it does what the first one
does so well, but more. That's why I think the
second one's so good.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Go ahead, all right, my next pick, go ahead and
give me Blade two. Blade you're a Blade guy. Oh
my gosh. The first one, Save Marvel shout out to Blade,
Save mal Did it really save Marvel?

Speaker 5 (57:46):
Though?

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (57:47):
It did.

Speaker 6 (57:47):
If it wasn't, was it where they were like back
in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Yeah, that was like, if this movie doesn't hit, we
won't have what we're seeing today. Really yeah, And it
was the first raded Ar one too that came out Blade.
So the fact that they followed up it, and then
Wesley Snipe did their thing and killed the way they did,
Oh my gosh. And the cast another great cast. So
Blade came out in ninety eight, and then Blade two

(58:11):
came out in two thousand and two. So the horror
is what it's described as, Oh you haven't seen it? No,
Oh Jesus man in a long time.

Speaker 7 (58:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
Chris Christofferson in that Norman ritis, if you guys remember.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
That, you know you have a point, because Blade comes
out in ninety eight. I remember Blade being doing well,
and if that didn't do well, then we may not
get Spider Man in two thousand and two.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
No, there would not be Spider Man. They needed this.
They were just hoping it was good and it turned
out to be life saving and they say, you know what, Wesley,
what do you say You put back on the shade
and you grab a sword and do it again. And
he said, oh, yeah, let's do it Wesley. So yeah,
just another great film, and what more could you ask for? Man,

(58:54):
I kind of want to go I'm gonna watch that
again just because it was so good. A lot of
movies to watch the night.

Speaker 6 (58:57):
Chris, I guess I'm not going to do it rolling
in and resting exactly. You got a host tomorrow, though,
you got another person hosting to go back to. You
know what, I can afford to stay up and watch movies.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Tonight, Mike. Mike's gonna have the show all planned for me.
I just have to show up. Yeah, you just have
to show up. You watch movies on like this is
when you talk? All right?

Speaker 6 (59:16):
Blade two and not Shrek to a Blade two and
a Toy Story two? Uh?

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Anders, what is your third pick? John Wick chapter two?

Speaker 6 (59:24):
Okay, you know what. You guys both know. I haven't
done the john Wick movies. What I haven't done the
John Wick movies.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
That's a little insane, but all right, so excuse me.

Speaker 6 (59:33):
The very obvious answer is I know what happens at
first art and I and I'm I just I can't
do that to myself.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
I know what.

Speaker 7 (59:42):
Okay, I know what you mean.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
I'm not gonna do it with myself. Okay, don't be
a softie man. How what would Softy say to you
about that?

Speaker 7 (59:48):
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on for him, he
probably fair enough. He probably wouldn't like it either, how
much he loves dogs. But I will say it gets revenge,
and that is the part that makes the first one
so uh rewarding. I almost like, yes, that's a part
that sucks, and like that's what turns most women off
of the movie. Yes, but that is what spurs on

(01:00:11):
his killing. And it's like you feel every kill with him,
you feel a piste off he is and he just
wants to go kill everything and that's and he's such
a badass in doing it. It's just like, yeah, yeah,
you kill that guy John Wick. Yeah, And it's like
normally it's just like, oh, Okay, I'm watching this guy.
I have this you know, weird like thing to go
revenge and like you don't feel it personally, but because
you watch that, you feel it too, and it makes

(01:00:33):
you like have a connection with him. So I highly recommend,
and I will say try not to skip past it,
try not to skip past it, but if you need to,
you can if you just want to watch the action
movie for an action movie.

Speaker 6 (01:00:49):
Let me say this, I've watched YouTube clips of just
the choreography and the fighting choreography because I wanted to appreciate, Okay,
how good is his fighting choreography? And objectively, really it's incredible. Yes,
So like I appreciate I just haven't seen the movies,
but I appreciate just the detail and the extreme, you know,
intimacy you feel in each fight.

Speaker 7 (01:01:10):
Yeah, and you know, Keanu Reeves is one of I
think the most underrated men in Hollywood. He does a
lot of his own stunts. I think almost all of
them he does, and he like personally asks to do that,
and it almost feels really grounded because he is very
trained in all this stuff. He's like a black belt
in like three different practices. But he's but you could

(01:01:33):
still feel that it's like not just some sped up
like the perfect thing of like just these kung fu movies.
He's he's going through each as like as he's getting
hit and he's like it's grinding, it's real. But it's
also just like so badass, and you just you root
for him every single second he's on screen. And like
I said, because of that first scene, you feel it

(01:01:55):
with him. But John Wick Chapter two it's not as
I wouldn't put it on the level of the first one,
but still very very good. The premises, he tries to
get out of the business because he got what he needed.
He gets another dog. The dog that does not die.

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
Is it still live through the movies?

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:02:15):
Still, well that's that sells me. Yeah, so he gets
another one. But his whole thing is that he wants
to get out of the game and he wants to
just kind of have a normal life. But someone from
his past brings back a something that forces him to
come back into the game, and he's pissed for it,
and he gets his revenge.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
As long as it isn't about the dog. No, it's not, okay,
not about that, all right, all right?

Speaker 7 (01:02:39):
So I put it the first one's probably out of ninety.
I put John Wick two about like an eighty five
eighty six.

Speaker 6 (01:02:45):
That's still pretty high. Yeah, I'm gonna go to comedy
route for my third pick. It's twenty two Jump Street.
I love the Jump Street movies that were redone with
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. I think their comedy is
so good off of each other, and they play really
really well off of each other. But twenty two Jump Street,
I think especially, is just it's one of the rare

(01:03:07):
cases I think that the sequels better than the original.

Speaker 7 (01:03:10):
Do you think it's better than the original?

Speaker 6 (01:03:11):
I do?

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
And they say it's really close. It's really cool you're
splitting hairs.

Speaker 6 (01:03:16):
But there's certain moments, there's certain jokes in twenty two
Jump Street where my name of Jeff from that and
Schmidt Ft the captain's daughter as Channing Tatum sings as
he dances around the room. I mean, I remember seeing
that in the theaters and in the scene where where
Change Tam sings that and dancing around the room. I
don't know if I've ever laughed harder in a theater

(01:03:39):
like I just I was feeling like I was going
to hyperventilate and die because I couldn't breathe because I
was laughing so hard. Twenty two Jump Street is one
of the funniest movies period, I think, of the last
fifteen years. It's one of those rare, like post twenty
ten great comedies because there haven't been that many of them.
But for my money, that might be the funniest movie

(01:04:01):
of you know, since that the great run of twenty
twenty ten. But I had to I had to run
for a comedy here at twenty two Jump Street. I
like it now for the last pick, this is ridiculously hard,
and I'll give my my honorable mentions later on because
there's a lot of them, but you know what, I

(01:04:23):
started with Tom Cruise. I have to end with Tom
Cruise because this is an action movie that it might be.
Considering that I haven't seen much full John Wick movie,
the one I'm choosing is Fallout. Okay, I think Dead
Reckoning is very very good. Part one Dead Reckoning was
was very very good. I'm very excited for for the

(01:04:44):
end of Dead Reckoning whatever they're calling it, or it's
a part two, I'm not sure, coming out later this year.
But I think Fallout is the superior movie.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
I think.

Speaker 6 (01:04:55):
I think Mission Impossible. Fallout is as perfect of an
action movie. It's it's James Bond without being James Bond.
But but you have Tom Cruise going all out you
very much so, and and Ethan Hunt. It puts together
just all of the various things that the final helicopter
chase where helicopters are colliding and it's him fighting Henry

(01:05:18):
Cavill on the side of a mountain. I mean, it's
truly just as as as you on the edge of
your seat. I can't wait to see what the next
scene is. Henry Cavill being an absolute Henry Cavill plays
almost like a better Superman in this than he does
in any Superman because you just feel like the guy

(01:05:38):
can't die at certain times, and he can. He can literally,
you know, punch through walls and do these crazy things.
The bathroom fight scene is insane. It's in very good shape.
Mission Impossible Fallow for me is the best Mission Impossible,
and this movie is I think the reason why this
series is going to be looked back on as as
prominently as it is.

Speaker 7 (01:05:59):
I'd like to pick a lot, Chris. I know you're
a mission impossible guy. What do you think?

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
I have no problem with it.

Speaker 7 (01:06:04):
What's your favorite? Am I?

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Oh, that's tough. I don't know. There's too many.

Speaker 6 (01:06:07):
There's so many ghost protocols.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Yeah, I think. I mean, hell, the latest one just
freaking amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
I mean Dead, that was so good for me. It'll
probably go fall Out Dead, Reckoning Road Nation, Ghost Protocol,
then two, one, three.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
He's the last one for you. Yeah, They're all just
so good. It's like splitting hears from me.

Speaker 7 (01:06:30):
Yeah, I feel you.

Speaker 6 (01:06:31):
I feel you, all right, Andrews, your final pick.

Speaker 7 (01:06:34):
See now you're leaving me with a tough pick.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Yeah, there's a lot. I'm gonna kick myself when I
when I, when I.

Speaker 7 (01:06:42):
Go over, I have to choose between three here.

Speaker 6 (01:06:47):
Well, this point is your final pick, so you can
name the three. Chris ends up taking one, Chris ends
up taking one.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
I'm not taking any of it is guaranteed.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
Well then then just then THEA.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Okay, I'll leave your Mine's not even on your board.

Speaker 7 (01:07:02):
All right, all right, fair enough, god, I mean, I mean,
just say the three just how to train your Dagon
two logan and Kung Fu Panda.

Speaker 6 (01:07:13):
Two Logan is way hold on the logan logan count
on that I would think. So, yeah, I didn't have
Logan on my list because I didn't think it counted.

Speaker 7 (01:07:23):
I mean, if it doesn't count, I figured it.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
Well, but I mean, technically that wolverine is the same
Wolverine from the original well not only Devil, but the
original universe, right, so I guess it falls into one
of those weird things.

Speaker 7 (01:07:40):
It's a weird one. That's why I kind of was
leaning towards one of the other two. So I'll leave
that one off.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
That's tough.

Speaker 6 (01:07:46):
I know which one i'd lean towards, but you know,
you know how I feel about the score in one
of the thing.

Speaker 7 (01:07:51):
I love How to Train Your Dagon two and I
actually think it's the best one of the three. Yeah,
but I'm gonna go Kung Fu Panda two.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
I mean, they're really right. I I think it's a slight,
just ever so slightly stronger movie. That's funnier. I think
it's funnier's funnier.

Speaker 7 (01:08:08):
I I think honestly that was the golden era of
DreamWorks with the Shrek Kung Fu Panda and then going
into How to Turn Your Train Your Dragon and that.

Speaker 6 (01:08:17):
Was that's a heck of a fifteen year run.

Speaker 7 (01:08:19):
Seriously, And they do they do sequels well, like all
of those have really good sequel points, and that they're
sometimes better than the original. I think this Kongku Panda
two is is slightly better than the original. The villain
is super menacing. Uh that isn't the shape Shifter, that's no,
it's it's the Ostriche or whatever his name. Yeah, okay, okay,

(01:08:44):
now I got to look at.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
The cat right now, I have to pull back up.
But who was your first three and uh, what was
that your first three picks?

Speaker 7 (01:08:53):
I have I have him right here, So it's a
mad Max stereo at Shrek two and John Wick chapter two.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
Yeah, it's pretty solid.

Speaker 6 (01:08:58):
Jack Black also mentioned like Jack Jack Black had had
a really tough run for a while.

Speaker 7 (01:09:04):
Gary Oldman is Lord Shen. That's the villain, and I
think that's the main thing that makes Yeah, he's he's
awesome there. Yeah, I mean it's it's an all star
cast Angelina, Jolie Seth, Rogen, James Hong, mister Dustin Hoffman. Uh,
David Cross is David Cross. The he's the sidekick to

(01:09:25):
Lord Shen.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
And it's.

Speaker 7 (01:09:28):
Honestly, yes, Okay, now I'm I'm across them. I'm confident
with this choice.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
All right.

Speaker 7 (01:09:35):
It's it's past the kind of origin story of of Poe,
which is Jack Black the panda, and he kind of
there's some adult themes tackled in this one. There's like
a whole thing about jenocide and like, uh, I'm telling you,
the the villain is like one of the most menacing
villains in animation. Like he's a weird one that kind

(01:09:59):
of really scares you in like a good way though
like it still was suitable for kids, but just like
the way he is able to manipulate things is very
like this is a good villain and I'm a fan
that I think a villain can make a movie, and
I think that's the reason why Kung Fu Panda two
is my last pick.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Chris, bring us some Well, I get it. I'll take
Rush Hour two.

Speaker 6 (01:10:23):
Yeah, that that was inevitable. I almost I was almost
didn't even have it because I knew you were gonna do.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Rush Hour at some point got to it's just, oh,
I'm just laughing thinking about the entire movie, from the
beginning to the end.

Speaker 7 (01:10:36):
Jackie Chan, Chris Tuck.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
What a iconic do is that? That is the best
of the three? Right, Oh, without a question, without a
Rush Hour is good. But then Rush Hour two just
takes the cake. Yeah, and then the bloopers at the end. Well,
I don't remember the bloopers. Oh, well, so movies do
you if you remember when I forget their character name,
I want to call him Jackie and Chris. But he's

(01:10:59):
basically saying Carter early, Carter early. So Carter's like, if
you're not gonna shoot him kung Fu his ass or something,
because he's holding the gun, and he was like he
was the detective or what's his name, Han, I think
is his name. He's saying you know, I know how
your father died. You know, he was weak, just like you.
And you know, Carter's like, shoot his ass, do something.

(01:11:21):
And then one of the one of Carter's crushes walks
in with the bomb attached to her and she's counting down.
He was like, you crazy ass, and they jump out
the window. But prior to that, he ends up shooting
his friend or kicking him out the window, I should say,
and he lands on the car. So on the blooper,
he kicks him out the window. He lands in the
car and they look at each other and Carter says, damn,

(01:11:43):
he ain't gonna be in Rush Hour three. That's so good.
So though, just little elements like that, and that was
in the bloopers, like they could have put that in
the movie, but it was just so funny because it
was unscripted and well they break the fourth wall, yes,
and it was just so it was just so Chris
Tucker in the moment like out the window, Ah, hits
the car, Damn, he ain't gonna be your Rush Hour

(01:12:04):
three and they both start laughing. And it's just those
offscript moments, and then the end scene moments that are hilarious,
like when they go visit Carter's best friend who grew
up in the hood now the Chinese restaurant on Crenshaw,
and he walks in there, my Jam Jay, mijam Jay,
and he's like, hey man, you embarrassing me in front
of my kids and family, and Carr's like, you're an embarrassment.

(01:12:27):
You go a black man with a Chinese restaurant on Crenshaw.
And then it kind of just sets in that Damn Carter,
you got some good points here. And then he's like,
I'm gonna whoop your ass and i'm'na whoop your ass
and he's like, waitya, whoop my ass. Man, I ain't
do nothing to you. So that's just one of those
films that line for line, scene for seeing and you
just put the smile on your face and it's good.

(01:12:47):
It's a it's a really classic movie. I'll be ninety
years old still laughing. Hopefully I don't die of laughter.
But if I could take me out on rush Art too.
And do you have our full picklists there, Chris does?
I think I was trying to get it all figured out,
So Anderson, give me your list one through four, Mad Max,
Fury Road, Shrek two, john Wick Chapter two and Kung
Fu Panda two. All right, And.

Speaker 6 (01:13:09):
Then I had if I can remember this correctly, I
had Top Gun Maverick yep, and then I know I
bookended that with Mission Impossible, Fall Later Runner twenty forty
nine and there and then I also had twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Two Jump Street. I like my team. I like your team.

Speaker 6 (01:13:22):
I really like my team twenty two Jump Street. If
I don't win this, have you seen the Jump Streets, Chris?

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
Yeah, they're funny movies. And then Chris, your team overall.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
Jurassic Park, Lost World, Toy Story two, Blade two, and
Rush Hour two. It's a good team.

Speaker 6 (01:13:40):
That's also a good team. All right, this will be an.

Speaker 7 (01:13:43):
Interesting We're gonna get roasted when we put ok and
then just.

Speaker 6 (01:13:47):
Because of the clarification, people won't know the clarifying things
you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
Do, Jackson, What is your final pick again? Sorry about that?

Speaker 7 (01:13:54):
Oh, it is Mission Impossible fallout, the fact that we
don't do the pretty much consensus best sequel of all
time from everyone, Well, but this is ours, right, Hold
on which which one are you talking to?

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Godfather Part two? I haven't even seen the second one,
so it's okay.

Speaker 6 (01:14:07):
I'm We're an hour and fourteen minutes since and saying
that at this point, Godfather isn't for me, like I've
seen them like fair objectively, I totally objectively, they're good.
It's sort of like it. I always use this. It's
the it's the Taylor Swift complex. Objectively, Taylor Swift is
a beautiful woman. I'm not attracted to Taylor Swift. Godfather
is objectively a well made movie and trilogy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
It's just not for me.

Speaker 7 (01:14:32):
Yeah, I can understand that. I I kind of feel
the same way. I like it, but I like these
other movies more. Yeah, and I'm sorry, this is just
our thing. Yeah, you know, like I think I like
a lot of it's the era.

Speaker 6 (01:14:43):
It's into well the older the boomers will roast us,
but the boomers don't have taste.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
They probably aren't listening to podcasts anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:14:50):
I know how to pick up a podcast button. If
you are fifty years old and you're listening to this podcast,
you're free to send a hate message to Jackson on radio.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
You old.

Speaker 6 (01:15:01):
All right, let's go over. Let's go over some of
the honorable mentions. A quickly just run through my list.
This is in no particular order, National Lampoon Christmas Vacation,
because that movie would not have been made were it
not for the original National Lampoon. Speaking of boomers, that
is a total boomer movie. Toy Story three, Matrix, Reloaded, Reloaded,

(01:15:23):
Glass Onion, Knives Out, You have Star Trek two, Ratha Kahn, Deadpool, Wolverine,
Superman two, going all the way back to the eighties
Monsters University, Man, it was the seventies Monsters University, Batman Returns,
the one with Michael Keaton, Tim Burton, the second one
ten Cloverfield Lane, Incredible Incredibles to, How do we none
of us choose incredibles to?

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
I don't like.

Speaker 6 (01:15:43):
Oh my gosh, yeah, it took to Finding Dory and Ralph.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
Breaks the Internet.

Speaker 7 (01:15:47):
Finding Dori was online as well. Ralph Bakes the Internet
is one of.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
The worst movies of all time. Wow, what the hell?

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Man?

Speaker 7 (01:15:53):
I absolutely hate Jesus. Why it's just not my cup
of literally just a meme of a movie. That is
they go through and do a bunch of like memes.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
I was entertained.

Speaker 7 (01:16:03):
It's not a good movie.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
I was entertained, Like, what are your honorable mentions?

Speaker 6 (01:16:07):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (01:16:07):
Finie Nori was on it. I'm surprised, like, and that
was kind of the only one that I missed that
I didn't mention it because I mentioned the other ones too,
how To Train Your dag in two and Logan.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
But I'm surprised you didn't pick star Trek Rathakon. Yeah,
it was.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
It was.

Speaker 6 (01:16:20):
It was probably high my honorable mentions. But at the
end of the day, like we were talking about it,
was it last week that you and I were talking
about it, Like you watch an older movie on a
newer TV and it's just like, I'm sorry it wasn't.
I was born in ninety two. I can't appreciate the
technology for what it was at the time. I'm sure
when people saw the Rathacon they're like, oh my gosh,

(01:16:40):
this looks amazing. But when I see it in whatever
I saw, like twenty ten, I go, okay, cool, Yeah,
it's great. It's a it's a good it's objective be
a good, great movie. But I just I don't have
the appreciation like my dad did.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
For example, Matrix Reloaded is a good shout.

Speaker 7 (01:16:55):
I think the action is actually better than in the
Matrix one, and probably better than than in the Matrix
revolutions as well. Yeah, but the third one yeah, yeah,
but the story is not my I mean it's fine,
it's it's just not as strong as there's some really great,
awesome scene.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
So Anderson, what was your Mad Max pick? Was it
Mad Max fifteen? After Thunderdome, George thunder Mad Max?

Speaker 7 (01:17:22):
I bet there's a big gap between the eighties movies
beyond It's beyond another one. I really like the Bourne Supremacy.
I love the Bourne series. I think it's super underrated.
It's again not as strong as the Bourne Identity, which
is kind of a super cool concept of about a
guy that you know. I love James Bond movies. I

(01:17:42):
love John Wick movies. These these badass like dudes who
can kind of go everywhere. Matt Damon is that in
this and but the cool idea about the Bourne series
is that he wakes up not knowing who he is.
So the entire trilogy is him trying to find out
who he is.

Speaker 6 (01:17:57):
You just said, James Bond, I just realized, like technically,
technically I try to clear the second one from Russia
with love, like like like they didn't know they were
gonna do fur Usher with love. But then doctor no
did so well, they're like, all right, let's keep this going.

Speaker 7 (01:18:11):
I tried to clear that, like because it's it's kind
of one long series for me, which I understand they
probably made the first one not knowing, but like it's
it's kind of a gray area for me. I wouldn't
have been upset if that's what you picked. Yeah, uh,
what about the new Star Trek ones, like Star Trek
Into Darkness or Star Trek Beyond.

Speaker 6 (01:18:27):
This's a big fan of Into Darkness. Beyond was good
because Beyond was almost like an episode of the original series,
just strapolated. But Star Trek's better when it's an episodic series.

Speaker 7 (01:18:36):
And I'm surprised you didn't mention Guardians of the Galaxy
Volume two because I think that is a sequel.

Speaker 6 (01:18:40):
So I just I wrote out all of the superhero
stuff when we were when we were initially saying Winter Soldier,
I deleted like four movies the list.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
Totally fair enough.

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade. Actually that's fantastic movie.
I'm look, I'm just looking at a list right now.
I like, damn it, you didn't forget any that that
wasn't that wasn't a playing trilogy. Well it was not
I see see. I don't love Temple Doom, which is
the second one.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
It's so good, damn it good? Are you going to
change your fix now? God, I would have.

Speaker 6 (01:19:16):
Sanctity of the draft.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 6 (01:19:18):
But yeah, if I, if I had thought about that,
last Crusade would have been my last pick.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
Yeah, I really love that movie, Christopher, any honorable mentions
before we head out? To be honest, No, I love
I don't though. There was only one and it was
The Mummy Returns. But I wasn't gonna pick it just because. No,
I think the four that I got, I love them.
After that, I was I didn't have anything else like,
those are the four I really walk with.

Speaker 6 (01:19:41):
So I see Kid two o six at Ander Shurst
at Jackson Radio next week. Will draft movies that should
have had a sequel?

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
What an idea that is?

Speaker 6 (01:19:50):
Uh? But that's our draft. Check out the poll vote
for our teams. We will talk to you next week
for another edition of Hollywood Weekly.

Speaker 7 (01:19:58):
I'll do don't kid that will do perfect
