Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's get back to this movie list. Where are we
on it right now?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Carey thirty here New York Times Top one hundred Best
Movies of the twenty first century. So really January first,
two thousand, Top twenty will drop tomorrow, so we'll discuss
that on the show tomorrow. I can tell you from
personally as I've been tracking, as I've gone through. I've
seen fifteen of the seventy movies on the list so far.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
So I haven't been tracking. But of the seventy, I
bet I've seen thirty five. Okay, I feel like I've
seen five.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yep, same number thirty Lost in Translation two thousand and three.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
O Fia Coppola.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I love this movie so much, Bill movie, and when
it comes back on I watch it every time and
I love it even more.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's a great, great movie. Scarlett Johanson too, Yep, yeah cool.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, And she's kind of playing Sophia Coppola. And Giovanni
Ribisi is kind of playing Spike Jones. Oh, you would
have loved him on Friends.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, he was good. He was Phoebe's little brother m
number twenty. He was so much Friends all the time.
He really watches it every night.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
They think they can stump me with Friends Trivia Ben,
and then I'm more than Marcel the Monkey.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
We know not to go to Ben with Friends Trivia.
After the whole art, I should never watched the show.
Never did anything for me, except Jennifer Ansen did.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, she's always nipping yeap out number twenty nine Arrival.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I have seen that one.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It's great, Okay, is that the one with Jodi Foster? No,
Amy Adams, Oh, Amy Adams.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay. Yeah, that is a pretty damn good movie. The
giant spaceship comes down and hovers. It's awesome. Yeah, that's
really good.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It's the same director as Dune and Blade Runner twenty
forty nine.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What the same Dennis Philla Reale.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Or Dennis Villanuevy vill Yeah, you know, and her her
kid in that movie's deaf. So it's right kind of
movie about communication, yes, but it's interesting about how I
do think it's a realistic look at what an alien
invasion might look like, and all the nations have to
get on board and communicate with each other as well
on how they're gonna handle it as the pods are
(01:58):
just hovering.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Do you remember the movie I think it was called
District forty nine. It was like the one where it's
half insect half yeah, that thing. Yeah, and so the
problem with that movie is I'm center watching going so wait,
so only South Africa is dealing with the alien invasion.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The rest of the world is just sitting this one out.
Now there, that was gross. It was supposed to be
a thing about apartheid. But whatever. Number twenty eighth, The
Dark Night creat Now you're talking. Yeah, very good movie.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Okay, But of those three movies, all Christopher Nolan Batman movies,
it was Batman begins the Dark Knight, and then is
the Dark Knight the one with the Joker? Yes, yeah,
that one is the best of the three. Yeah, but
it seems odd that they would put this one. I
love them all, but yeah, I think that's generally regarded
(02:47):
as the best of the three.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm not as high as the first or the third one.
But the second one. Legit twenty seven adaptation, It's great.
It's again. It's uh. Spike Jones directed it.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Nicholas Cage basically plays two different characters that are brothers,
and then it's Charlie Kaufman wrote it with.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
This fake twin brother. Yeah. Twenty six, Anatomy of a Fall.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
This I just remember it being nominated for a bunch
of crap in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I never saw it. I never saw it either. Who's
in it?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's a household name. I could give you on that.
We know what it's about. I could read you the
boring paragraph. I want to hear it, but let's just
keep keep it going.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, number twenty five a pt Anderson movie called Phantom Thread.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I did not see this. Did you see this one?
Never heard of it? Twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Daniel da Lesis plays a guy with the name of
Reynolds Woodcock.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's a in it.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
He's a a designer.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is a designer? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I never saw that one. Yeah, I mean him and
Daniel day Lewis are let there be blood, So I
would assume that's probably gonna end up in the top twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
The Return of Her, I mean the return of Spike Jones.
It's her.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Number twenty four's pretty good. I like it, but I
don't know that I have it as my no.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
He falls in love with Walkin Vin's falls in love
with Scarlett Johanson's voice.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Right, Yeah, com Peter, He's so alone.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I will tell you that this was on the ballot
for Buster Bluth Tony Hale.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I think that probably, Joe. I think going.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I think it's one of those movies that is going
to age incredibly well because of AI and what our
AI existential crisis right now.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Boy, Yeah, I can see that. Twenty three Boyhood.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It's an incredible achievement in movie making history. To make
a movie over the course of twelve years with the
same cast is pretty astonishing.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's long, right, yeah, you know, have you seen it?
I never saw it, but.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I remember you saw it and talked about it a lot,
you know, ten years ago or whenever this came out,
was came out.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And it's Richard link It's a Richard Link letter movie.
Ethan Hawk is in it, who he worked with on
before Sunset. They got the same cast and they decided
to film make a movie about growing up, being a
boy growing up, and so they filmed it over several
year period as the actual boy grows up over that
time period.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So I think it's from the age of six to eighties.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's in Texas, right, Yeah, it's down in Houston, Houston
Astros game.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, it's it's one of those movies.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
As you're watching it, you're just got so blown away
by the idea of.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
How did they pull this off? How did they do it?
The Grand Budapest Hotel, Miss Anderson. Is that the only
Wes Anderson movie on this list so far?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I don't remember twenty fourteen. I was on Pamela Anderson's ballot.
Didn't tell you that much. Ralph finds in it.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
We're good. I went and saw the Phoenician scheme over
the weekend. He did it.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
So I have this new thought about Wes Anderson, and
I feel the same way about him as I do
like certain action movies where I'm no longer I'm like
not connect to anything in the movie, Like I enjoy it,
but I don't really have any kind of connection to
it because it's so Wes Anderson. Uh and it like,
it looks great and the characters are great. Michael Sarah
(06:11):
is amazing in it, but you don't really feel bonded
with it in any way like you did either like Boyhood,
where you're like, oh yeah, twenty one is the Royal
ten and bombs Wes Anderson. Okay, back to back Wes's
top twenty drops tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
We will go through it on the show.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I would imagine, unless you know what, we just pulled
the crazy ivan and said, now, screw it, We're not
gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
All right, I don't think that'll happen. Coming up next,
it's an audio bubble bath. We're just three minutes away
from this. Kat is guaranteeing a surprise. We don't know
what the surprise is either. That's next
