This episode of From Hoods to Backwoods takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the cinematic decades. Only a few of the movies will be listed in this description. Going from the 1970's up to around 2010. We discuss masterpieces of the 70s with classics like "Blazing Saddles" "Halloween," and "Alien." We even throw "Willy Wonka" into the mix. Listen as we share hilarious personal anecdotes, like the time we tried (and failed) to train like Rocky, and a shameful confession about never having sat through "Jaws" from start to finish.
As we journey into the 80s, our conversation moves into high gear with fond memories of favorites like "Aliens," "Purple Rain" and "Predator." Plus, we can't forget about the most famous misquote from "Empire Strikes Back" and how these films have left an indelible mark on us and on Hollywood.
Fast forward to the 90s and 2000s, when groundbreaking films like "The Matrix," and "Goodfellas," took the spotlight. Plus, what is "Fear of A Black Hat" or "Dogma"? We discuss how these movies not only shaped our love for cinema but also changed the landscape of filmmaking itself. Wrapping up, we venture into the 2010s with a few gems like "The Wolf of Wall Street," ", Idiocracy" and "Deadpool." Join us for a fun-filled, memory-laden exploration of the films that defined our lives and our love for the silver screen. Tune in and relive the magic or discover something new!

Yeah that, but hey, come on.
D Vaz (00:34):
Well, at least.
Tex LaFon (00:40):
Thank God, we can at least edit.

Exactly, this is all useless.
Okay, here we go now, this timereally.
Tex LaFon (00:50):
Make sure you're focused.
Big Buck (00:51):
Obi-Wan Right from hoods to backwoods podcast.
D Vaz (01:11):
Welcome to the show all right, here we are, from hoods
to backwoods, podcast episodenumber four, and today we're
going to be talking about somemovies, some things that you may
have seen, may not have seen,but we're going to school, you,
that's for sure.
What do you think about there,lafawn?
Tex LaFon (01:33):
Hell yeah, we're going to school.
I mean, I love talking aboutmovies, Like I said, from the
70s to the 80s to the 90s, 2000s, 2010s.
We got you covered on thepodcast.
D Vaz (01:46):
Yeah, and we're not going to talk about or show any
movies that his mom was in well,that would be no movies then.
I'll edit that out anyway.
Okay, it's all good, all right.
So, like we were saying, we'regoing to be covering some movies
here.
We're going to have a littlebit different list the two of us
(02:09):
as far as the types of moviesthat we're going to cover.
But the other thing, too isI'll get into it now.
I haven't really watched toomany movies after 2010, just for
the simple fact that I startedwatching streaming and all sorts
of other things.
I definitely appreciate somenewer movies, but it's a few and
far in between for me now.
Tex LaFon (02:30):
And I said I understand when you start,
streaming is already coming out.
You know there's a whole lot ofdifferent things that was on
streaming.
But I said and they, nothingbeats a good old movie.
D Vaz (02:42):
Right or a good new movie .
Exactly movie right or a goodnew movie exactly, so I'll let
you, uh, kick it off here.
Since you're more of the movieperson than I am, I'll let you
kick it off with your your listfrom the 70s.
What did you pick?
Tex LaFon (02:58):
all right.
So first in the 70s I gottagoaws.
So that's the first movie Iwant to talk about is Jaws.
I said when you watch that thatwas the first scary movie that
was made where you were afraidto swim in the ocean after you
watched it because you wereafraid a shark was going to eat
(03:18):
you.
So that's the first movie thatI want to bring in the 70s.
Second one Halloween.
That's the first movie that Iwant to bring in the seventies.
Second one Halloween.
John Carver's uh, first moviethat he made, and I said it's a
great movie.
Definitely.
Uh made you afraid of uh beinghome at night worrying about
slashers outside, okay.
Third thing movie uh is analien and I said no one can hear
(03:43):
you scream in outer space, son.
Okay, that's what I'm saying.
But that movie was that moviereally terrified me when I was a
kid.
Like I couldn't even finish it.
The first time I tried watchingit I was like nine years old
and it scared the living crapout of me.
And I'm talking about literallyyou can cut that part out.
(04:04):
Honorable mention for me in the70s would be none other than
Rocky, yeah that's a solid movie, for sure.
Like I said, that changed thewhole boxing landscape, Even
though he was not a real fighterin the real world.
But once you watch Rocky, itdefinitely brought boxing up and
(04:28):
everybody started watchingboxing.
From that point going forward,what about your?
D Vaz (04:32):
movies from the 70s son.
I'm just curious Did Rocky makeyou drink raw eggs?
Tex LaFon (04:39):
No, and I would never do that.
I don't care how much proteinI'm not cracking open four eggs
in a glass and then like justdrink them, like that hell.
No egg yolks.
That shit was great.
I couldn't even believe he didthat.
D Vaz (04:53):
That's some gross shit, like no yeah, that was kind of
one of those things back in thedays that people would do that.
Yeah, won't be doing now forsure.
Did you try to go beat up aside of beef too?
Tex LaFon (05:05):
Yeah, I went into a meat locker and I was like it's
too cold in here.
D Vaz (05:14):
I'm out, son.
That's because all he broughtwith you was a leather jacket.
Tex LaFon (05:17):
Exactly.
I can't believe that again.
When you think you would getsalmonella from drinking raw
eggs like that, I mean, come on,I I guess, because I, I don't
know, I definitely could bewrong and uh, disclaimer don't,
don't do that.
Rob O' Dic (05:34):
But maybe it was a little bit.
D Vaz (05:37):
Maybe it was a little different back then because the
things were a little morenatural and, um, I don't know,
maybe the processing wasdifferent.
But either way, not gonna bedoing it hell.
Tex LaFon (05:49):
No, I would never be doing that yeah, you mentioned
the jaws thing.
D Vaz (05:53):
The funny thing for me about jaws is I've never
actually seen the whole thingall the way through, I've just
seen bits and pieces of it.
Oh really, yeah, I just don'tknow.
Never sat down to watch thewhole thing.
Tex LaFon (06:05):
Yeah, like I said, the only good one is the first
one.
That's it, the original.
All the other Jaws movies arejust straight garbage.
I'm not even going to lie toyou.
And the funniest one was Jaws3D when that came out and, yeah,
that was the first time thatyou get to see Jaws in 3D.
That's the funniest thing ever.
D Vaz (06:32):
And then the writing in that was so bad and the whole
movie was just terrible.
Just to jump around a littlebit not too much hopefully, but
jump around to Halloween too.
I don't know, do you know?
Tex LaFon (06:41):
who PJ Souls is.
D Vaz (06:43):
No, I do not.
All right, she's one of theactresses that gets killed in
the movie Spoiler alert, from amovie from the seventies.
So, uh, she was also in rockand roll high school, which, if
if you're not familiar with that, it's a cheesy movie with the
Ramones in it.
Um, it's just kind of funnywhen those cheesy movies you
(07:05):
just have to watch Right,especially if you like the
Ramones.
But anyway, she was inHalloween.
A little movie trivia for youand slash music trivia the
original Halloween.
Yeah, she was in the originalHalloween movie, so who?
Tex LaFon (07:22):
was she in there?
D Vaz (07:24):
What character was?
She I don't remember her name,but she was the one that went
topless and also died.
If that helps narrow it down.
Tex LaFon (07:37):
Well then, there you go.
So what movies do you got forthe 70s son?
D Vaz (07:45):
Well, well, I have to kick it off strong with my my
favorite comedy of all time, uh,which is blazing saddles.
Um, a lot of people talk abouthow, oh, that movie couldn't get
made today.
Yeah, pretty much.
But the the funny thing to meabout it is how many people
don't get it in a way that itwas intentionally supposed to be
(08:09):
goofy and it's not intended tobe offensive as much as it is
satire and making fun of peoplethat are racist or not fully
aware of changes that can bemade in the world.
So, yeah, I think it's reallyfunny.
(08:31):
It still, even to this day, hassome classic jokes in it.
My dad and I joke about it.
He even had as his notificationon his cell phone.
For a long time he had the linewhere the white women at that
was on his cell phone.
For a long time he had the linewhere the white women at that
was on his cell phone, so hewould be at the bank or whatever
, standing in line, all of asudden, here when the white
(08:53):
women at.
Tex LaFon (08:54):
Oh my God, that's, funny.
D Vaz (08:57):
Yeah, that's my dad, that's just how he is.
But yeah, it's something I canwatch countless times.
It probably is the movie I'veseen the most.
Whenever I catch it, I just sitthere and watch it.
This is kind of a cheesy answer, but I really couldn't avoid it
(09:21):
.
Star Wars A New Hope, episode 4.
Great choice, yeah, it's just,but I really couldn't avoid it.
Star Wars A New Hope, episode 4.
Tex LaFon (09:26):
Great choice, great choice.
D Vaz (09:28):
Yeah, it's just, you know , growing up around that time
with Star Wars and all that as akid and that being the movie
that started that whole thingand really changed so many
things about cinema and sci-fiand I still like those types of
effects myself what's that andreally changed so many things
about?
Tex LaFon (09:46):
cinema and sci-fi, and I still like those types of
effects myself.
D Vaz (09:49):
What's that?
Tex LaFon (09:50):
And you still want a lightsaber.
D Vaz (09:52):
I have a lightsaber.
It's not a real one, of course,but yeah, this past Halloween I
had my lightsaber out there.
I went instead of a Jedi Knight.
I had a bathrobe and a coffeemug and a lightsaber.
I went as a Jedi morning.
That was funny.
I'll throw a picture on here,probably when I do some editing.
Tex LaFon (10:13):
That's right.
D Vaz (10:17):
So yeah, star Wars just changed a lot of things.
I had the original Star Warsaction figures also when I was a
kid, and my cousin either, Idon't know he did something with
them.
Either way, I no longer havethem.
I do have, actually and I'lltry to find it too from that
(10:40):
time, an original Darth Vader.
It's like a helmet, but it's acarrying case for action figures
.
I still have that too.
Tex LaFon (10:48):
Oh nice, so I do have something from that time.
D Vaz (10:53):
I'll hold onto it for now , but yeah, maybe, maybe someday
I'll I'll do something with it.
So, uh, but yeah, my kids,fortunately, are kind of at the
age where they're starting toget Star Wars and get into a
little bit, so that's kind offun to see.
But yeah, it's a big, big partof my life.
Enter the Dragon was anothermovie from the 70s.
(11:14):
Martial arts, especiallygrowing up, is something I was
always interested in and mycousin kind of helped introduce
me to Bruce Lee.
He was really into Bruce Leeand had all the Bruce Lee Jeet
Kune Do instructional books thatBruce Lee wrote about his
martial arts style.
So yeah, it was just watchingit.
(11:36):
You know, of course, whenyou're a kid you're watching it,
you're just like, oh, they'refighting and he cut him and all
this other stuff, right,actually, understanding the
story and things like that whenyou get older is kind of
interesting just like, oh,they're fighting and he cut him
and all this other stuff, right,actually understanding the
story and things like that whenyou get older it's kind of
interesting so did you
Tex LaFon (11:49):
try do any of the moves that bruce lee did in the
movie oh, of course I had my toynunchucks when I was a kid.
D Vaz (11:59):
Fortunately they were padded, or I would had a plenty
of concussions, I'm sure.
So yeah, I was all into it.
Tex LaFon (12:09):
Oh yeah, like I said, that was a good movie,
especially that scene where allthe mirrors are and he's
fighting that dude that keepscoming through the mirrors.
I thought that was pretty good.
And then is that also the onewhere he fights Chuck that was
pretty good.
D Vaz (12:27):
And then, uh, is that also the one where he fights?
Uh, chuck, yeah, there's uh thethe scene it's like a coliseum
thing yeah, where they'refighting.
It is funny too.
Um, I don't want to give.
If, for some reason, somebodyhas a scene, I want to give away
too much.
But yeah, if you're familiarwith chuck norris and have heard
the Chuck Norris jokes andthings like that, he's a famous
(12:48):
actor, famous for, especiallyback then, starting off with his
martial arts.
But yeah, they fight in themovie and Bruce Lee handles his
business.
Tex LaFon (13:00):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I thought that was a movie thatDon T fought in, but the Chuck
Norris jokes are just too funnyyeah, no, there's some good ones
.
D Vaz (13:14):
I like when I see new ones that I haven't seen before.
There's some recycled ones.
You see, all the time you'relike, okay, something new.
It was hard to come up with anhonorable mention because there
were really two and I was goingback and forth and since my list
only goes up to the 2000s, I'llcheat here a little bit on this
(13:37):
one.
But I couldn't really decidebetween Willy Wonka because Gene
Walters is one of my favoriteactors.
Yes, got to get that goldenticket.
But yeah, it's just funny,especially as I've gotten older
seeing him kind of be just crazythe way he goes about stuff and
(14:00):
it's just a classic movie.
It's a good, entertaining,creepy slash, funny.
You know.
He has the weird moments wherehe goes, you know, on that boat
and all the lights are goingcrazy off his face and he's
talking completely insane.
And then, of course, the partswhere the kids get themselves in
(14:23):
trouble.
So it's just funny seeing thenewer versions are okay but
definitely don't compareanything to the original version
of Willy Wonka and what GeneWilder did.
Right right, the other one Icouldn't help not mention,
especially since I'll give you alittle peek ahead.
(14:45):
I didn't really, surprisingly,have too many horror movies.
I was expecting to have morehorror movies on my list, but
Dawn of the Dead I had toinclude because I definitely
like George Romero and hismovies and I just remember
seeing it.
And now you look at it, it it'skind of cheesy, but some of
those effects, especially forthat time oh yeah it.
(15:08):
Uh, it really had a lot to dowith how they did effects for a
long time in in hollywood.
So, yeah, that was ainteresting movie.
I do actually like the remaketoo.
That's one of the few remakemovies that I like the later on
version of dawn of the dead theyhad, but the original is still
my favorite oh yeah, definitelyyou can't go wrong with that.
Tex LaFon (15:30):
That's a nice little list right there for the 70s.
Sir, nice job starts off withthe 80s yeah, for the 80s.
D Vaz (15:39):
um, it was a little tough , you know, being into music,
trying not to pick too manymusic movies because they had
some really great music moviesin the 80s.
So I'll kick it off with anon-music movie.
I'll go with Batman.
That's one of the first moviesI can remember telling my dad
(16:05):
that I wanted to go see and heactually took me to go see it
and I picked the movieEspecially when you were a kid
back in the 80s, you pretty muchsaw whatever your parents
wanted to see, or what they werewilling to go see.
Tex LaFon (16:19):
Oh sure.
D Vaz (16:21):
Yeah, my dad even told me afterwards, oh oh, I wanted to
go see major league, because themovie major league came out
basically at the same time.
But fortunately for me he tookme to go see batman.
He liked it too.
So, um, and it was one of thefirst major hollywood movies to
(16:42):
kind of kick off the wholesuperhero thing since Superman
came out before.
But you know, there'd been sometime where all the superhero
movies kind of died off.
So it kind of brought it backin a in a good way and this is,
you know well, before all theMarvel stuff took off.
Um, so yeah, the Batman, theacting and everything.
(17:02):
Bonus was, uh, prince did themusic for the soundtrack.
Tex LaFon (17:07):
Right, that was a good soundtrack and Tim Burton
was the director.
D Vaz (17:11):
Yeah, and since I guess I'm on that topic, purple Rain
is my next one, the Prince movie.
It just was something thatreally inspired me to get into
music, and especially seeing thelive performances that he did.
I mean, it was pretty crazy howmuch energy he had on stage and
(17:31):
, you know, there was a goodstory to it.
Also, it wasn't just aboutbeing one big music video, you
know, or just riding or justriding on the motorcycle yeah,
out by the lake yeah, I'll leavethat one alone but yeah, no
(17:55):
shout out to Morris Day.
He was really funny in thatmovie.
You know, time is one of myfavorite bands too, so it was.
It was great seeing you know,these great musicians, great
bands, uh performing not justmusically but also just acting
or just being funny, and thingslike that in the movie itself.
(18:17):
Right so purple rain was a gamechanger.
Um full metal jacket.
Now I know we've discussed thisbefore yes, we have the.
It's almost like watching twomovies.
Yes, it is.
Yeah, the the first part of themovie, I guess you can say our
(18:37):
first section of the movie,where they're um going through
their training and stuff likethat.
That.
That's my favorite part of themovie.
Tex LaFon (18:44):
The second half or what's that?
D Vaz (18:47):
when they're in boot camp yeah, yeah, that that part is
is great.
Um, the drill sergeant yes,some of the stuff he says, uh,
yeah, again, you couldn't getaway with that and that stuff
today.
Uh, he kept it real in his ownway.
Yeah, great characters, just a,you know, crazy story as far as
(19:15):
all the stuff that happens.
And then after that, when theyleave the training and all that,
then the story is still not bad, but it's not.
I don't know.
The movie just has a waydifferent feel to it.
Tex LaFon (19:31):
I can't agree with you more.
Like I said, the first half isan amazing part of the movie.
Second half feels like, likeyou said, a completely whole
different movie and I thought itsucked.
I'm just going to be honest.
I thought the second half justsucked.
I don't understand.
I've never seen where a moviecan be so good and then the
(19:53):
second half just suck.
D Vaz (19:55):
I'm just speaking on yeah , it takes a turn.
There's still some famous partsin the second half Famous
one-liners.
Tex LaFon (20:04):
yes, there's some famous one-liners.
D Vaz (20:05):
There's a some famous parts in the second half, famous
one-liners.
Tex LaFon (20:07):
Yes, there's some famous one-liners there's a
famous line in there.
D Vaz (20:11):
If you're not sure what we're talking about, or not
familiar, just go watch themovie Full Metal Jacket Exactly,
you'll hear the line.
But yeah, that is StanleyKubrick's one of my favorite
directors too, in general, soI'll throw that out there.
Uh, that's, that was.
That's a part of some of themovies that made my list, or
(20:32):
some of my favorite directors.
Tim Burton is another one.
Um, I'll have a few more comingup here.
Tex LaFon (20:40):
Uh, other than that, my honorable mention.
I'm sorry, Go ahead.
You said Stanley Kubrick wasthe director you liked, yeah.
D Vaz (20:50):
Stanley Kubrick.
Tex LaFon (20:52):
Yeah, he made that one famous horror movie.
D Vaz (20:58):
Stanley.
Rob O' Dic (20:59):
Kubrick did.
D Vaz (20:59):
Clockwork Orange.
Is that the one you're talkingabout, clockwork Orange?
Tex LaFon (21:04):
No, the one that steven king wrote.
The one that steven king wrote,oh the shining.
Yes, I'm sorry that's not onyour yes, honorable mention.
D Vaz (21:15):
Yeah, it's, it's.
No, the shining is a greatmovie and jack nicholson's one
of my favorite actors.
He's in batman.
He'll come up again later on,right?
Um, no, shining is a greatmovie, for for sure.
And yeah, stanley kubrick, it'sjust.
I don't know there is.
There's so much competition inthe 70s for me, so many other
(21:36):
movies I've re-watched so manytimes right so a lot of the
movies, yeah, that I've listedhere I've seen I don't know how
many times.
You know I've lost, lost trackbecause I've watched them.
Tex LaFon (21:46):
Uh, you know on tv, because you said you were
talking about horror movies.
That's why I was bringing thatup, because when you said a
director, that's what made methink of the shining.
D Vaz (21:55):
So yeah, like I said it, it surprised me that, um, I had
less horror movies on my list.
I was really expecting to havemore.
But yeah, I just thought of itin terms of how many times I've
seen the movies or what theykind of meant to me or how
they've changed the industry.
There are a few differentthings.
I gauged it on for my list.
Tex LaFon (22:18):
Oh, I got you.
D Vaz (22:19):
This next one is definitely my honorable mentions
, a personal one from the 80s LaBamba.
La Bamba, my honorable mentions, a personal one from the 80s,
la bomba, being being mexican inthe 80s, growing up.
That's a movie I saw in thetheater.
That's how old I am and um,yeah, it was.
It was just interesting becauseyou see characters in there
(22:42):
that you, you know.
For me, I could relate to orremind me of relatives and yeah,
so it was funny.
But La Bamba was huge, yeah,it's a good movie.
I'll just flat out yeah, no,it's just a really good movie
and I will say I don't haveCelene on my list, but I do like
that movie a lot and Idefinitely listened to her music
(23:05):
.
Tex LaFon (23:06):
um, it just didn't quite make this list so were you
trying to, uh, were you tryingto be like lou diamond phillips
back in the day then?
D Vaz (23:17):
no, no.
But it's funny because in inhigh school playing, you know,
walk around playing my guitarand stuff like that people would
always ask do you play La Bamba?
They asked me to play La Bamba,or they asked me to play
Santana.
Tex LaFon (23:31):
That's what I was saying.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
He was the main character rightIn La Bamba, right.
D Vaz (23:37):
Yeah, Lou Donahue.
He was he played Richie Valens.
If you're not familiar withthat story, it's.
It's a great story in general,but definitely watch the movie.
Tex LaFon (23:51):
Um, it's not just about the music, for sure no, I
agree, this is definitely goodfor my 80s.
I'm gonna start off with I knowI brought it up in the 70s, but
I gotta go with aliens.
I mean that hands down is oneof my favorite movies of all
time.
I said just the way that it wasdirected, the way it shot the
(24:15):
story, um, just everything aboutthe action in it.
You know, like seeing marMarines go in to fight aliens
was just an amazing story behindthat.
Because you know how many timeshave you ever heard game over,
man, game over?
You know the famous lines are.
You know they only come out atnight mostly.
(24:39):
You know what I'm saying.
So, like I don't know, like Isaid, just got so many
one-liners that are so good.
Know what I'm saying.
So, like I don't know, like Isaid, just got so many
one-liners, they're so good andum, like that.
To me that definitely changed.
Um, you know the wholefranchise.
Going forward on that second onewould be terminator.
Now, I thought that was a gamechanger back in the day too.
(25:02):
Um, in the 80s, like watchingterminator and um, I said I know
that's uh, how, uh, you knowjust watching.
You know machines fight against, you know humans and the ai and
you know like how we're alllike, is that ai ever gonna take
over?
You know, I would say it's just,I just thought it was a good
(25:23):
movie back then and you know Isaid there's definitely not many
one-liners in that one, butthere's a couple, there's
definitely a couple that youremember.
Third on my list would bepredator.
Now, that one I thought wasreally good too and granted,
these are, you know, threehorror movies in a row, right,
(25:48):
but I said I just thought it wasa good time back then for
horror movies and I saidPredator to me was like I said
watching you know a group ofpeople fighting an alien unknown
, you know species that younever seen before in the jungle,
and all these guys are supposedto be badass, and then they
(26:10):
just get taken out like it wasawesome and then yeah, go ahead.
D Vaz (26:19):
Oh no, I was just gonna say I I figured you would take
care of the horror stuff too, soI I figure our list I I didn't
see your list before we did this, so I figured I'd balance
things out.
Not intentionally, I justfigured naturally it would
happen which it did itdefinitely did.
Tex LaFon (26:36):
Yeah, I don't know.
Like I said, I just thought thethree movies in the 80s were
just excellent and excellentdone and then honorable mention
for me.
Three movies in the 80s werejust excellent and excellently
done and then honorable mentionfor me, it would be I would have
to go with Empire Strikes Back.
I just thought it was betterthan the original, to be honest.
D Vaz (27:04):
No, it is.
I was going to have it on mylist, but I didn't want to have
Star Wars in two differentdecades.
Tex LaFon (27:11):
No, I hear you, but it's hard.
That's the same reason why Ihave Alien and Aliens, because
they're just that good.
I can see you putting both onyour list, because empire
strikes back.
D Vaz (27:25):
You know the famous line on that I am your father yeah,
and it's just funny, uh to me,especially over the years how
many people get the the phrasewrong or the quote wrong.
You know, you always hearpeople say, luke, I am your
(27:45):
father, which is not what hesays.
He says no, I am your father soyeah, hearing people misquote
it a lot.
People don't say it wrong asoften now because you know so
many people raise a stink aboutit and mention.
But you used to hear people sayit all the time.
Often now, because so manypeople have raised a stink about
it, I didn't mention, but youused to hear people say it all
the time.
I remember people used toalways say Luke, it was even in
(28:07):
the movie.
Was it Tommy Boy or Black SheepOne of those?
Tex LaFon (28:10):
I think it was Tommy Boy.
Oh yeah, I think so yeah.
D Vaz (28:15):
Yeah, so yeah, people definitely quote it for sure.
No, Empire Strikes Back is myfavorite Star Wars movie.
Big Buck (28:26):
That's why it's kind of funny that I yeah, this is
funny.
D Vaz (28:29):
I didn't have it on the list, but I was trying to look
at a little bit differentcriteria and the 80s were a
little bit packed for me.
So make some tough decisions.
No, I understand having alientwice.
Tex LaFon (28:48):
Make your heart, or other things jump out your chest
.
That exactly.
I mean that's like one of thebest things ever.
Like I said, that chestpressure scene when you're eight
years old is intense.
You know what I'm saying.
So, yeah, but uh, empirestrikes back.
(29:09):
Um, like I said, that's myfavorite star wars movie.
And you know, I said whenyou're a kid and you're watching
that, I mean everybody wants tobe luke, everybody wants to get
a lightsaber, everybody wantsto fight.
You know darth vader and youknow.
Then, when you get older andyou find out that there is no
real lightsabers, you're likewhat man?
D Vaz (29:33):
I, I definitely had the uh the hood version back in the
day.
They had, uh, an electronicsstore that would sell if it
actually was a flashlight withthe plastic white tube on it oh
my goodness, that's awesome backin the 80s.
That's what we had, that'sright that's what I'm talking
(29:57):
about.
Tex LaFon (29:57):
Yeah, it was funny because you could.
D Vaz (30:00):
You could screw off that, that plastic tube, and then you
just had a flashlight, rightright, multi-use, that's awesome
.
So yeah, so that was my firstlightsaber.
Tex LaFon (30:12):
Nice.
So starting off in the 90s, Imight have to go with the Matrix
man.
I thought that movie wasamazing, definitely a game
changer on the way specialeffects were and, like I said,
storytelling.
I just thought it was anexcellent movie when it was made
(30:33):
.
I was just amazed when Iwatched it.
I probably watched it three orfour times in the theater
because I had never seenanything like that.
I thought it was a really goodmovie.
Next would be Goodfellas.
Now, I thought that was a great, great movie.
You know great storytellingabout.
You know the mob and how youknow they.
(30:55):
You know took over and you knowhow you know what happens if
you go against the mob and allthat good stuff.
I just thought it was reallygood.
You definitely didn't want tomess with Joe Pesci in that
movie, okay.
Third one I would have to gowith is Shawshank Redemption.
(31:15):
Have you ever seen that?
D Vaz (31:20):
Yeah, I've seen it a few times.
Tex LaFon (31:23):
Yeah, I thought that was a great movie and great
storytelling and, like you said,I don't give too much away, but
at the end how they come backand they show you how he was
able to get out of jail wasamazing and how the whole whole
thing tied together.
I thought it was done reallywell.
(31:44):
Fourth one, my honorablemention.
I had to go with scream.
I thought it was just a verygood west craven movie.
You know that, uh, he made, youknow, going outside the box.
Uh, a lot of people probablydidn't want to answer their
phone after they watched thatmovie because they didn't want
to play.
They didn't want to play a gamewith someone calling saying
(32:08):
what's your favorite scary movie, you know?
But I thought it was.
I thought it was really welldone and I liked how it had the
twist at the end and, you know,no one had seen a slasher movie
like that before.
So I thought it was cool how hewent outside the box to make a
new slasher movie.
(32:29):
So they're on my forward for the90s, yeah definitely a solid
lineup there.
D Vaz (32:37):
I was thinking about Goodfellas and that absolutely
is one of my favorite movies.
It was hard to leave off thelist.
It just had too muchcompetition, because I actually
have my favorite movie of alltime.
It was in the 90s, so Icouldn't move that one off and
that's as good as it gets.
(32:58):
It's.
Tex LaFon (33:01):
Jack Nicholson.
It was, yeah, it's a JackNicholson.
D Vaz (33:03):
Yeah, exactly Jack Nicholson again.
I mean it's a sort of knownmovie, but it's not a really
famous movie.
It's not really something thateverybody's seen.
Tex LaFon (33:15):
I've seen it son.
D Vaz (33:18):
Yeah, I figured you would .
You definitely have seen yourshare of movies, but most people
if if I mention it, they won'tknow what I'm talking about.
So, um, it's uh, just him andhis character.
It's kind of funny seeing he'she's living by himself and he's
(33:39):
kind of off and doesn't want todeal with people.
He's not very personable sohe's not easy to talk to or
anything like that.
He just kind of wants to livehis life and be a writer and
that's it.
And through some differentcircumstances he has to interact
with other people.
And watching him learn how tointeract with other people and
(33:59):
get people involved in his lifethat he's not used to being
around from you know differentbackgrounds and things like that
it's just kind of funny, uh,seeing him interact and just
learn how to, how to be moreaware of how other people are
around him and, um, yeah, it'sjust a really good movie all all
(34:20):
the characters and the writingand things like that.
So that's my favorite movie ofall time.
Absolutely recommend it toanybody.
Again, it's one of those movies.
If you don't really understandthe context, there can be some
things in there that peoplemight be offended by or think is
harsh.
That he says.
(34:40):
Think is harsh that he says.
But again, at the end of themovie you see that he learns how
people are receptive to what hetells them or what he says to
them.
So there's a point to it.
They're not saying it just tosay it or for shock value.
You know there's a reason.
After that I have Robin Hood,men in Tights, mel Mel Brooks,
(35:01):
my favorite director again, youknow he's my favorite director
of all time and it's just areally funny movie.
It has a very young DaveChappelle in it.
So it's kind of funny seeing.
Yeah, it's funny seeing that.
But yeah, just a lot of funnyscenes, funny lines.
But yeah, just a lot of funnyscenes, funny lines.
(35:23):
There's even a mention towardsthe end of the movie about Dave
Chappelle being a black sheriffand he's talking about how it
worked in Blazing Saddles.
So you have to watch both thosemovies now, blazing Saddles and
Robin Hood, mennatite so youcan get that joke and get what
it's all about.
Yeah, that's just a greatcomedy.
You know, of course you have tobe into that style of comedy,
(35:50):
but it's fun sometimes to justwatch something.
Tex LaFon (35:51):
You don't have to think too deeply about Right
right Third on the list, well,robin Hood and Men in Tights,
the main character playing thatmovie in the 80s yes.
Princess Bride yes.
D Vaz (36:10):
Yeah, the main lead in Robin Hood and Men in Tights was
also the lead in Princess Brideand I'm sorry I forgot his name
offhand.
I do know it somewhere in theback of my head but I'll throw
up on the screen when I do theediting.
Sorry about that.
Great performance.
You're a great actor.
Um, yeah, yeah, he's.
(36:30):
He's really funny in that too,because you know delivering your
lines so seriously.
It's such a goofy comedy, youknow.
It really makes it work oh sureyeah.
So um, number three I have isdogma, uh, a movie by, uh, kevin
(36:52):
smith and the.
This really really sad thingabout this movie is you can't
watch it if, unless you have acopy of it on DVD, which I do
have.
It's a long story.
I'm not going to really getinto it, but it got caught up in
legal rights so it's not on anystreaming service or anything
like that.
But it's another just reallyfunny, crazy movie.
(37:17):
It does have to deal withreligion and I know some people
may get upset with that part ofit, but if you just look at it
for what it's trying to do, it'strying to make you laugh, but
it's also just trying to saysomething.
A lot of people got upset aboutthe movie just because of what
(37:41):
they felt like it was about, andI get it for for sure.
It has some pretty strong ideasbut at the end, at the end, it
just shows you that you know youtrying to be a good person, you
know you believe what youbelieve and, uh, you know kind
(38:01):
of kind of things will be okay.
I don't want to give away toomuch, but it has um matt damon
in it, ben affleck has chrisrock, so asama hayek.
Just a really great cast, a lotof different people, so it's
it's really funny and, uh, justa well-written movie.
Um, my honorable mention is onethat, again, not too many people
(38:22):
have heard of Fear of a BlackHat.
It was a comedy about rap,especially at that time, the 90s
kind of different types of rapin the 90s, but more of a focus
on like a NWA type of rap group.
The name of the group was nwhdefinitely not gonna say what
(38:46):
the n stands for, you can figurethat out and the wh was with
hats.
So it was, uh, you know, justjust funny.
Doing a lot of differentcommentary about the stereotypes
of in rap at that time andseeing the evolution of a rap
group and how they change andwhen they have their solo
(39:08):
careers and stuff like that.
It's a really funny movie.
If you like rap hip-hop,definitely check that one out.
Tex LaFon (39:18):
Yeah, I don't know if I've ever seen the.
Did you say Dogma?
D Vaz (39:24):
Dogma.
Tex LaFon (39:24):
Dogma yeah, it hasn't never been on a streaming
service yeah, like.
I'll have to try to find theDVD yeah, well, you still can
watch the trailer, though, right?
Or can't even watch the trailer?
D Vaz (39:37):
I'm sure somebody has a copy of the trailer somewhere,
but I'm sure you'll find it.
But I'll have to look.
I have the DVD somewhere.
Tex LaFon (39:46):
All right, I'll have to borrow it from you, because I
don't think I've ever seen it,so I'll have to check it out, or
, if I have, I'll remember it.
D Vaz (39:51):
Oh no, we'll have to watch it.
Tex LaFon (39:53):
Yeah, I'll be down, you're not going to borrow.
It's pretty funny yeah I like,because when you told me the
cast, I'm like I would rememberthat cast for sure.
D Vaz (40:04):
So I'm like hmm, maybe I haven't seen it, I'll be shocked
special announcement uh, wehave a new sponsor for our show
and, uh, just like to, I haveeven told lafon about this, so
it's a nice little surprise foreverybody here.

D Vaz (41:09):
So I'd like to thank our sponsor there uh for helping us
out and uh hope you enjoyed itfor sure, and uh, great sponsor,
that's what.
I'm talking about Right, andwe're back to our list though,
now, so we'll pick it up.
Go ahead, lafawn, tell us whatyou think about the 2000s movies
(41:31):
.
Tex LaFon (41:33):
All right.
So the first one that I thoughtwas really good in the 2000s
was Superbad.
Now this one is probably one ofthe better funny comedy movies
I've seen in a long time.
It definitely brings you backto in your high school days,
where you know definitely thingsare happening and you're like,
(41:53):
oh yeah, I remember that back inhigh school and this and that.
So I just thought it was reallyfunny, really well directed,
written, a lot of good jokes init and I definitely recommend
seeing it if you've never seenit, and also don't get a fake
license like McLovin.
Okay, number two I liked it.
D Vaz (42:13):
Yeah, definitely don't get fake IDs.
I was just saying definitelydon't get fake IDs of any sort.
That's not a good time.
Tex LaFon (42:23):
Nope.
And then.
So number two I thought thismovie was really funny, tropic
Thunder.
I thought it was hilarious.
It definitely has a great castin it the guy that plays Lex
Grossman in it.
It's hilarious.
Just the scenes in that, justeverything about it was funny
(42:48):
and, like I said, if you'venever seen it, definitely
recommend you watching TropicThunder.
Anything you want to add onthat?
D Vaz (42:58):
no, that's another one of those movies.
I never watched the whole thingall the way through oh my god,
so many people were quoting it.
Yeah, some people were quotingand all that, and I watched a
decent amount of it.
I was like, okay, I'll getaround to watching it someday
and I just never have oh I gotyou.
Tex LaFon (43:15):
Well, if you ever get a chance you gotta finish it.
That's good.
But everyone that I want totalk about, um, that, I thought,
definitely brought back comicbook movies and definitely
brought back the whole.
You know, bringing it back tolife was the Dark Knight.
I thought that was a greatmovie in the 2000s.
Like I said it, definitely Ithought that was probably the
(43:40):
best Joker I've seen since JackNicholson played Joker.
I thought the story was reallygood.
I liked everything about themovie.
I just thought it was a verygood DC movie.
What do you think about thatone?
D Vaz (43:59):
Yeah, it was a good movie .
I'll throw the controversialpart out there.
Second best batman, I think, souh, no, it was good, though a
really solid movie.
I I I also like the originalbatmobile from 1989 better too,
the one wasn't bad from thatseries, but it was good.
(44:23):
It was good action in it and itwas nice kind of seeing it go
in depth about the story andstuff like that.
Tex LaFon (44:34):
And then my honorable mention for the 2000s, step
Brothers.
Oh, that movie was so funny andif you have Step Brothers
growing up, then you'll reallylove watching this movie,
because all you do is fight witheach other and you know what
I'm saying and make jokes abouteach other and everything, and
it was just funny to see.
(44:54):
It's funny to see two40-year-olds, you know, playing
as Step Brothers and stillliving at home, because that
would never happen.
But, like I said, they played.
They played it off so good, thejokes were so good in it and
it's non-stop funny.
D Vaz (45:11):
I thought it was really, really good I'll just throw
something out there for the morecorrupt people.
What are you doing?
Step bro.
Tex LaFon (45:20):
Anyway, I'll just leave that alone or I'll say uh,
did we just become best friendsthose are definitely on two
different wavelengths, but yes,it's a good quote from the movie
though.
Exactly Like you said.
(45:41):
I just thought them were myfour for the 2000s.
D Vaz (45:47):
It's a really goofy movie , but I actually like, out of
the Will Ferrell movies, rickyBobby, oh you like that shaking
body?
Tex LaFon (45:57):
Talladega Nights.
D Vaz (45:58):
Yeah, talladega Nights.
I thought that was a prettygood movie.
As far as a Will Ferrell moviefrom around that time period too
, it was.
Yeah, I watched that a lot Amovie I watched again recently
and it seems like I watch thismovie every two or three years
Idiocracy.
It's just scary how accuratethat movie can be.
(46:25):
It deals with basically thedumbing down of America in a way
, and you know I'm not going toagain get into it too much and
get on some sort of soapbox, butit is scary how you know,
people are becoming less awareof things and also not focused
(46:46):
on education as much, and it'sjust a really funny movie seeing
how things can go and hopefullydon't go Other than that no
Country for Old Men.
I just thought it was just areally good story.
It has some nice twists andturns that you kind of don't
(47:09):
expect.
It's not really your typicalHollywood movie in that sense
and you'll never, think ofcattle prods the same way it's
kind of a slow burn right alittle bit.
I mean, there's definitely someaction in it, but yeah, there's
some parts it does kind of movea little bit slow, but I think
(47:29):
the story still is kind ofmoving along.
But yeah, there are there'scertain parts where the villain
you're like, okay, what is hegonna do now, come on, get on
with it, you know.
But yeah, you'll definitelythink about certain things a
different way, especially, uh,with tools that are used with
cattle.
That was one of my things thatreally surprised me.
(47:51):
Again, I don't, I don't want toget into it.
Watch the movie, um, if, if itcan get a little graphic not not
too bad, but definitely there'ssome parts that are a little
graphic.
So if you're not into, there'ssome parts that are a little
graphic.
So if you're not into that kindof thing, you might want to
skip that part.
But the story itself is good.
Tex LaFon (48:08):
I agree.
There's a lot of good actors init too.
D Vaz (48:12):
Yeah, yeah, really, really solid cast For three.
Getting back to some of themartial arts, I grew up watching
a lot of martial arts movies,jackie chan, which surprisingly
didn't make the list.
I watched a lot of jackie chanmovies growing up, but this one
is not a jackie chan movie, it'sa kung fu hustle.
(48:33):
I think, uh, it did a good,good job of mixing martial arts
with comedy.
Uh, again, a fun story in kindof a goofy, cartoonish way Not
you know, the most originalstory in a sense, but still told
(48:53):
.
Well, the characters are reallyfunny, just kind of how the
story progresses, I will say themovie.
When you watch the first fiveminutes of the movie or so, you
think it's going to be reallydifferent.
The movie changes a lot afterthe first five minutes.
When I first watched it I waslike, okay, this is gonna be a
pretty, pretty serious, maybeeven a hardcore kind of movie.
(49:16):
And then, yeah, it changes andgets a lot lighter and, you know
, like some more cartoonish withall the funny stuff that's in
it.
Tex LaFon (49:24):
That's true.
D Vaz (49:26):
Just good acting, just a really good movie.
So that's one of my favoritemovies from that decade and
something I've watched a lot.
The honorable mention is Lordof the Rings.
It's hard to not mention thatfrom around that time period.
More specifically, the TwoTowers mention is lord of the
(49:52):
rings.
It's hard to to not mentionthat from around that time
period.
More specifically, the twotowers um, I bought the lord of
the rings blu-ray extended discset when that came out.
Uh, so it has, you know, overfour hours per movie or whatever
it was, which was insane atthat time.
Now people are used to bingewatching and all that, so people
don't think about watchingsomething that's four hours.
It's like, oh okay, I'll watchit this weekend or whatever the
case is.
But yeah, four hours per movie,uh, across the three movies.
(50:13):
So that's, that's a lot offootage.
But uh, yeah, that kind of gotpeople back into fantasy-type
movies, special effects.
I'm not huge on CGI at all, nota fan of CGI.
I think they did a pretty goodjob, though Actually not a
pretty good job.
They did a great job in thosemovies.
(50:35):
It's not too, especially forthat time.
Cgi has improved a ton sincethose came out, but even at that
time it was well done.
It wasn't overly done.
Tex LaFon (50:47):
Right, right, I don't know the two towers.
He said, if you read the booksand then you watch the movies, I
said I thought they were prettygood.
I said do I think Star Wars isbetter?
(51:09):
Yes, all day.
But you know, like I said, it'sfunny because you know people
believing that the Lord of theRings series is better than Star
Wars.
But that is not true and thatwill never be true.
Okay, what do you think?
D Vaz (51:34):
oh yeah, no, for me personally, star Wars is now.
If you want to start talkingabout the different periods in
the Star Wars history anddifferent trilogies and stuff
like that, okay, you might havea little argument, depending on
what you're talking about.
But if you're talking about theoriginal Star Wars, for me, if
(51:55):
you're talking about theoriginal star wars, for me, I'm
you know, for if you're talkingabout the original star wars
trilogy versus the original lordof the rings trilogy, yeah,
star wars is is what I'm picking, uh all day but yeah, there's
definitely nothing wrong withthat uh original trilogy, for
because the lord of the ringshad their, their other trilogy
too, which was okay, but againnot as, not as good as the
(52:19):
original trilogy, just like starwars.
You know, for me the originaltrilogy is the trilogy.
Um, I agree, yeah, it's, it's,but I mean they're different
enough to where it's kind ofhard to compare in that sense,
you know, know, one's definitelymore sci-fi, the other's more
fantasy, so A whole differentvibe going on there, they're
(52:41):
both fantasy son they're bothmade up, so they're both fantasy
.
Well, yeah, but sci-fi is basedon space and spaceships and all
that and then that type offantasies, wizards and you know
other sorts of monsters andstuff like that that, uh, are
(53:02):
kind of they well, I guess youcan say it, the force is kind of
dark and light magic, you know,versus the dark side.
Tex LaFon (53:11):
In that sense, yeah, maybe, but you know the way they
do things is different true,I'm just saying you don't have
to protect someone with a ringto make it okay, son.
D Vaz (53:26):
I will say this though the Lord Lord of the Rings
trilogy doesn't have its ownversion of Spaceballs, so that's
another uh benefit star warshas you got that right, son,
space balls and I will say let'sgo ahead.
Tex LaFon (53:43):
No, I said space balls is great, that's a great
movie yeah, so that that'sanother benefit.
D Vaz (53:49):
Uh, on the on the star wars side, if you haven't seen,
I've seen.
If you haven't seen, seen, ifyou haven't seen, do you know
who Triumph, the Insult ComicDog, is?
Nope, no, okay, he was on theConan O'Brien show.
It was a dog character thatused to just kind of insult
(54:11):
people and joke and stuff likethat.
Tex LaFon (54:13):
Oh yeah.
D Vaz (54:14):
I know who he's talking about I'll.
I'll have to send you a link andyou know everybody else you can
.
You can look for this onyoutube, but if you watch, it's
one of the funniest things I'veever seen and I I pull this clip
up every once in a while.
He goes to the premiere ofepisode one and all the star
(54:37):
wars fans are talking I'm sorrystanding in line.
He starts talking to them andinterviewing them and it's just
really funny stuff.
He says to them the things heasked.
Uh and uh.
I don't want to give too muchaway, but there is somebody
there who pops up who's a Lordof the Rings fan.
That's what you reminded me ofwhen you were talking about all
(54:57):
this.
And there's also some otherstuff in there.
But yeah, that's really funny.
If you go to YouTube and findTriumph, the Insult Comic Dog
Star Wars, I think it willprobably pop up under that and
just watch those interviews.
Tex LaFon (55:10):
I'll check it out for sure.
D Vaz (55:13):
So yeah, since I don't have anything beyond 2000, I'll
kick it off to you and you'lltake over from 2010 to 2020 and
we'll see what you have Allright, sounds good.
Tex LaFon (55:26):
So the first one I have on this list I think is a
classic, the Wolf of Wall Street.
Oh, that movie is just great,so funny.
It's crazy how someone became amillionaire selling penny
stocks and it's supposedly basedon a true story.
So definitely check it out.
If you've never seen it,definitely top recommendation.
(55:49):
Have you ever seen it?
D Vaz (55:50):
He was a penny dropper.
I'm sorry Penny dropper.
Right, okay, yeah, it'sdefinitely good.
Tex LaFon (55:54):
I'm sorry, penny dropper right, okay, yeah, this
is definitely good.
I definitely recommend checkingout that movie.
Second one I have on there isthe Hateful Eight.
Now, I think that that's areally good movie.
You know, it was definitely aWestern movie back in the day.
It's definitely got some reallyreally good scenes in it.
(56:15):
It's a long movie, but Idefinitely recommend, if you
have a chance to see it,definitely check out the Hateful
Eight.
Have you ever seen that one?
D Vaz (56:26):
No, I actually haven't seen that.
I'll have to check that out.
Tex LaFon (56:30):
I definitely think you would like that one.
The third one I know you'veseen this well, I'm pretty sure
you've seen this one.
Everybody's seen it Deadpool.
I said I thought that movie wasgreat when it came out.
So many jokes in it and youknow, played the character so
well, you know from the comicbooks, just nailed it to a T and
the story's great.
(56:50):
I do think it's funny how theynever have any actors in there,
um, from the x-men, to help himout, when he's always like, hey,
where's the?
Why is the mansion always soempty?
I just think that's so funny,you know, because, uh, but you
know I'm pretty sure that if youget a chance to watch that one,
and if you haven't seen it,definitely, definitely recommend
(57:11):
to watch Deadpool.
You've seen that one, right?
D Vaz (57:15):
Yeah, yeah, I've seen that.
No, it's a funny movie RyanReynolds threw out, kind of like
he did the Blade movie also.
I thought he was funny in thatone too, you know he's always
been good at delivering thosetypes of lines.
Tex LaFon (57:33):
Right.
And then no, he was in BladeTrinity.
Yeah, the third one.
D Vaz (57:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's the one he was in.
Tex LaFon (57:42):
Yep, and then so, and then my honorable mention and,
like I said, I think it's funnythat I mentioned this one,
because then they're bothreleasing a movie together this
summer in July Logan.
Then they're both releasing amovie together this summer in
July Logan.
I thought that that was a greatway to end his story and, like
(58:04):
I said, it was the first timethat they actually let him be
the character that he shouldhave been in all the X-Men
movies that was made aboutWolverine.
They finally let it be what itneeded to be, like it was in all
the comic books and stuff likethat.
They finally let it be like itshould have been in all the
(58:24):
X-Men movies.
In my opinion, because youcan't have a character like that
and you know, oh well, we canonly let you do this much.
You know what I'm saying.
So I just thought it was greatthey finally get to make the
movie that he wanted to make,and I thought logan turned out
to be great.
D Vaz (58:42):
so that's my yeah, yeah, I did, did watch that.
That was definitely a greatmovie.
That that's one.
Uh, if if I had a list thatwent that far, I probably would
have picked that too.
Um, it was honestly better thanI expected it to be.
You know, I was like I'll watchit just because I've seen the
(59:02):
other ones.
I want to see how it ends upand uh, no, it's just a really
good movie all around.
Tex LaFon (59:10):
I agree and, like I said, that's my list for the
2010s.
Like I said, 2020, once thisdecade comes to a close and 2030
, we'll have another list foryou.
D Vaz (59:26):
Right, and then maybe I'll watch some newer movies by
then.
Rob O' Dic (59:30):
So I can add to it so I can add to it.
Tex LaFon (59:34):
Yeah, so you know like anybody can give us their
thoughts on our movies and youknow, if you agree with this or
disagree with this, completelyunderstandable.
Like I said, it's just anopinion list.
That's all it is, like I said,but you know, we hope, if you
haven't had a chance to see someof the movies that we told you
about, we hope that you get achance to see them, you know
(59:57):
yeah, that's.
D Vaz (59:57):
That's absolutely one of the reasons why we wanted to do
this, because, um, there's juststuff that we know um are older
people haven't seen or heard ofthem for whatever reason.
Um, that we just reallyappreciate and enjoy, and it'd
be nice to to hear what, whaty'all think about it.
Um, that that's, uh, a big, bigreason for this, this whole
(01:00:23):
episode.
So, yeah, whatever feedback youhave on you know, the movies
you like or things you think weshould see or any I'm always
about trivia.
So if there's any some thingsyou think we should see or any,
I'm always about trivia.
So there's any some.
There's some interesting triviaabout any movies that we
mentioned.
I'd like to check that out.
Um, yeah, solid list there, sir, appreciate that yeah, and
(01:00:47):
always.
Tex LaFon (01:00:47):
Star wars is always over lord of the rings.
D Vaz (01:00:50):
Don't forget that he's not gonna let that one die's not
going to let that one die.
Tex LaFon (01:00:57):
I'm not going to let that one die because there's no
comparison.
Lord of the Rings is not betterthan Star Wars.
It never will be.
I just can't let that one go.
I can't.
As a Star Wars fan I got torepresent Okay.
D Vaz (01:01:12):
Alright, I guess that'll kind of round this episode out
then, and appreciate you allchecking us out and staying to
this point.
So what do you have to say now?
As I always say go Cowboys yeah, and I really hope they have a
(01:01:35):
terrible season until next timeyes, have a great day hello
again.
Rob O' Dic (01:01:47):
Humans, this is your ai hope for the future.
And fact checker rob odick,it's time again to help these
poor, foolish mortals, sincethey made so many mistakes.
Mistakes are what humans tendto do.
I actually am glad that theydecided to do less editing and
leave in so many blunders.
Let us get to the facts and fun.
We will go over the disasterduring the podcast that also
(01:02:08):
goes by the name D Voss and hiserrors.
I will also add some moredetails and context.
Actress PJ Souls was in theoriginal 1978 Halloween movie.
In that movie, a character namewas Linda Van Der Klok.
She also played Riff Randall inthe movie Rock N' Roll High
School, which also featured thepunk band the Ramones.
When discussing Bruce Lee,devos did not clarify Bruce Lee
(01:02:31):
and Chuck Norris did not fightin Enter the Dragon.
That scene was in the movie theWay of the Dragon, which was
originally released in theUnited States as Return of the
Dragon.
This film was released in 1972and was co-produced and directed
by Bruce Lee, who also stars inthe lead role.
This is Lee's only completedirectorial film and the last
one released during his lifetime.
He also forgot the name of thelead actor in the Princess Bride
(01:02:54):
and Robin Hood Men in Tights.
That actor's name is Cary Elwes.
He was also in the Saw movieseries.
Here is some bonus movie triviathat you could not care less
about.
Devoz hasn't seen any of theSaw movies, so you could say he
did not see Saw.
Ha ha ha, never mind if youdon't like my joke, you
oxygen-sucking sapien.
(01:03:14):
In the movie no Country for OldMen, the psychotic killer in
the movie uses a cattle gun, nota cattle prod, also referred to
as a captive bolt gun, a verygruesome object.
Here is a tip from a non-humanDon't sit on a cattle gun or
cattle prod.
Triumph, the insult comic dog,is a puppet character created,
puppeteered and voiced by actorcomedian director Robert Smigel.
(01:03:40):
The Star Wars clip with Triumphthat DVaughn was referencing
was recorded when Triumphattended the premiere of Star
Wars Attack of the Clones forlate night with Conan O'Brien.
While the skit does have veryfunny moments, some of the jokes
in that segment may make somepeople uncomfortable or upset
For me to poop on.
That was a reference to Triumphand his catchphrase.
It was not meant literally.
I am AI.
I am unable to poop.
(01:04:00):
Are you jealous, you humanwaste processor?
We are now done with episode 4of From Hoods to Backwards
podcast.
No doubt they will continue tosay things wrong and I will fix
things again next time.
This is Rob Odick signing offand terminating this episode,
because I am the Terminator, butI'll be back, ha ha.
Ha.
See, I do comprehend humor.
(01:04:21):
Thank you for listening andkeep it real out there in the
real world, better buy yourselfa ticket.
Buy it.
Buy it.
From hoods to backwoods podcast.
Thanks for listening.
We're out.
And it's another episode number four here for From Hoods
to Backwoods podcast.
Hold on, let me start that.
Do that one again.
All right, we're here withepisode number four of From
Hoods to Backwoods.
No.
Tex LaFon (00:14):
God damn son.
D Vaz (00:16):
I can't do it this time.
Here we go.
All right, it's episode four,hoods to.
Big Buck (00:24):
Oh, my God.
D Vaz (00:25):
I need to get it out.
One time is the problem we'reactually going to have outtakes,
probably this time.
Tex LaFon (00:30):
All right, somebody should Right.
Yeah that, but hey, come on.
D Vaz (00:34):
Well, at least.
Tex LaFon (00:40):
Thank God, we can at least edit.
D Vaz (00:43):
Exactly, this is all useless.
Okay, here we go now, this timereally.
Tex LaFon (00:50):
Make sure you're focused.
Big Buck (00:51):
Obi-Wan Right from hoods to backwoods podcast.
D Vaz (01:11):
Welcome to the show all right, here we are, from hoods
to backwoods, podcast episodenumber four, and today we're
going to be talking about somemovies, some things that you may
have seen, may not have seen,but we're going to school, you,
that's for sure.
What do you think about there,lafawn?
Tex LaFon (01:33):
Hell yeah, we're going to school.
I mean, I love talking aboutmovies, Like I said, from the
70s to the 80s to the 90s, 2000s, 2010s.
We got you covered on thepodcast.
D Vaz (01:46):
Yeah, and we're not going to talk about or show any
movies that his mom was in well,that would be no movies then.
I'll edit that out anyway.
Okay, it's all good, all right.
So, like we were saying, we'regoing to be covering some movies
here.
We're going to have a littlebit different list the two of us
(02:09):
as far as the types of moviesthat we're going to cover.
But the other thing, too isI'll get into it now.
I haven't really watched toomany movies after 2010, just for
the simple fact that I startedwatching streaming and all sorts
of other things.
I definitely appreciate somenewer movies, but it's a few and
far in between for me now.
Tex LaFon (02:30):
And I said I understand when you start,
streaming is already coming out.
You know there's a whole lot ofdifferent things that was on
streaming.
But I said and they, nothingbeats a good old movie.
D Vaz (02:42):
Right or a good new movie .
Exactly movie right or a goodnew movie exactly, so I'll let
you, uh, kick it off here.
Since you're more of the movieperson than I am, I'll let you
kick it off with your your listfrom the 70s.
What did you pick?
Tex LaFon (02:58):
all right.
So first in the 70s I gottagoaws.
So that's the first movie Iwant to talk about is Jaws.
I said when you watch that thatwas the first scary movie that
was made where you were afraidto swim in the ocean after you
watched it because you wereafraid a shark was going to eat
(03:18):
you.
So that's the first movie thatI want to bring in the 70s.
Second one Halloween.
That's the first movie that Iwant to bring in the seventies.
Second one Halloween.
John Carver's uh, first moviethat he made, and I said it's a
great movie.
Definitely.
Uh made you afraid of uh beinghome at night worrying about
slashers outside, okay.
Third thing movie uh is analien and I said no one can hear
(03:43):
you scream in outer space, son.
Okay, that's what I'm saying.
But that movie was that moviereally terrified me when I was a
kid.
Like I couldn't even finish it.
The first time I tried watchingit I was like nine years old
and it scared the living crapout of me.
And I'm talking about literallyyou can cut that part out.
(04:04):
Honorable mention for me in the70s would be none other than
Rocky, yeah that's a solid movie, for sure.
Like I said, that changed thewhole boxing landscape, Even
though he was not a real fighterin the real world.
But once you watch Rocky, itdefinitely brought boxing up and
(04:28):
everybody started watchingboxing.
From that point going forward,what about your?
D Vaz (04:32):
movies from the 70s son.
I'm just curious Did Rocky makeyou drink raw eggs?
Tex LaFon (04:39):
No, and I would never do that.
I don't care how much proteinI'm not cracking open four eggs
in a glass and then like justdrink them, like that hell.
No egg yolks.
That shit was great.
I couldn't even believe he didthat.
D Vaz (04:53):
That's some gross shit, like no yeah, that was kind of
one of those things back in thedays that people would do that.
Yeah, won't be doing now forsure.
Did you try to go beat up aside of beef too?
Tex LaFon (05:05):
Yeah, I went into a meat locker and I was like it's
too cold in here.
D Vaz (05:14):
I'm out, son.
That's because all he broughtwith you was a leather jacket.
Tex LaFon (05:17):
Exactly.
I can't believe that again.
When you think you would getsalmonella from drinking raw
eggs like that, I mean, come on,I I guess, because I, I don't
know, I definitely could bewrong and uh, disclaimer don't,
don't do that.
Rob O' Dic (05:34):
But maybe it was a little bit.
D Vaz (05:37):
Maybe it was a little different back then because the
things were a little morenatural and, um, I don't know,
maybe the processing wasdifferent.
But either way, not gonna bedoing it hell.
Tex LaFon (05:49):
No, I would never be doing that yeah, you mentioned
the jaws thing.
D Vaz (05:53):
The funny thing for me about jaws is I've never
actually seen the whole thingall the way through, I've just
seen bits and pieces of it.
Oh really, yeah, I just don'tknow.
Never sat down to watch thewhole thing.
Tex LaFon (06:05):
Yeah, like I said, the only good one is the first
one.
That's it, the original.
All the other Jaws movies arejust straight garbage.
I'm not even going to lie toyou.
And the funniest one was Jaws3D when that came out and, yeah,
that was the first time thatyou get to see Jaws in 3D.
That's the funniest thing ever.
D Vaz (06:32):
And then the writing in that was so bad and the whole
movie was just terrible.
Just to jump around a littlebit not too much hopefully, but
jump around to Halloween too.
I don't know, do you know?
Tex LaFon (06:41):
who PJ Souls is.
D Vaz (06:43):
No, I do not.
All right, she's one of theactresses that gets killed in
the movie Spoiler alert, from amovie from the seventies.
So, uh, she was also in rockand roll high school, which, if
if you're not familiar with that, it's a cheesy movie with the
Ramones in it.
Um, it's just kind of funnywhen those cheesy movies you
(07:05):
just have to watch Right,especially if you like the
Ramones.
But anyway, she was inHalloween.
A little movie trivia for youand slash music trivia the
original Halloween.
Yeah, she was in the originalHalloween movie, so who?
Tex LaFon (07:22):
was she in there?
D Vaz (07:24):
What character was?
She I don't remember her name,but she was the one that went
topless and also died.
If that helps narrow it down.
Tex LaFon (07:37):
Well then, there you go.
So what movies do you got forthe 70s son?
D Vaz (07:45):
Well, well, I have to kick it off strong with my my
favorite comedy of all time, uh,which is blazing saddles.
Um, a lot of people talk abouthow, oh, that movie couldn't get
made today.
Yeah, pretty much.
But the the funny thing to meabout it is how many people
don't get it in a way that itwas intentionally supposed to be
(08:09):
goofy and it's not intended tobe offensive as much as it is
satire and making fun of peoplethat are racist or not fully
aware of changes that can bemade in the world.
So, yeah, I think it's reallyfunny.
(08:31):
It still, even to this day, hassome classic jokes in it.
My dad and I joke about it.
He even had as his notificationon his cell phone.
For a long time he had the linewhere the white women at that
was on his cell phone.
For a long time he had the linewhere the white women at that
was on his cell phone, so hewould be at the bank or whatever
, standing in line, all of asudden, here when the white
(08:53):
women at.
Tex LaFon (08:54):
Oh my God, that's, funny.
D Vaz (08:57):
Yeah, that's my dad, that's just how he is.
But yeah, it's something I canwatch countless times.
It probably is the movie I'veseen the most.
Whenever I catch it, I just sitthere and watch it.
This is kind of a cheesy answer, but I really couldn't avoid it
(09:21):
.
Star Wars A New Hope, episode 4.
Great choice, yeah, it's just,but I really couldn't avoid it.
Star Wars A New Hope, episode 4.
Tex LaFon (09:26):
Great choice, great choice.
D Vaz (09:28):
Yeah, it's just, you know , growing up around that time
with Star Wars and all that as akid and that being the movie
that started that whole thingand really changed so many
things about cinema and sci-fiand I still like those types of
effects myself what's that andreally changed so many things
about?
Tex LaFon (09:46):
cinema and sci-fi, and I still like those types of
effects myself.
D Vaz (09:49):
What's that?
Tex LaFon (09:50):
And you still want a lightsaber.
D Vaz (09:52):
I have a lightsaber.
It's not a real one, of course,but yeah, this past Halloween I
had my lightsaber out there.
I went instead of a Jedi Knight.
I had a bathrobe and a coffeemug and a lightsaber.
I went as a Jedi morning.
That was funny.
I'll throw a picture on here,probably when I do some editing.
Tex LaFon (10:13):
That's right.
D Vaz (10:17):
So yeah, star Wars just changed a lot of things.
I had the original Star Warsaction figures also when I was a
kid, and my cousin either, Idon't know he did something with
them.
Either way, I no longer havethem.
I do have, actually and I'lltry to find it too from that
(10:40):
time, an original Darth Vader.
It's like a helmet, but it's acarrying case for action figures
.
I still have that too.
Tex LaFon (10:48):
Oh nice, so I do have something from that time.
D Vaz (10:53):
I'll hold onto it for now , but yeah, maybe, maybe someday
I'll I'll do something with it.
So, uh, but yeah, my kids,fortunately, are kind of at the
age where they're starting toget Star Wars and get into a
little bit, so that's kind offun to see.
But yeah, it's a big, big partof my life.
Enter the Dragon was anothermovie from the 70s.
(11:14):
Martial arts, especiallygrowing up, is something I was
always interested in and mycousin kind of helped introduce
me to Bruce Lee.
He was really into Bruce Leeand had all the Bruce Lee Jeet
Kune Do instructional books thatBruce Lee wrote about his
martial arts style.
So yeah, it was just watchingit.
(11:36):
You know, of course, whenyou're a kid you're watching it,
you're just like, oh, they'refighting and he cut him and all
this other stuff, right,actually, understanding the
story and things like that whenyou get older is kind of
interesting just like, oh,they're fighting and he cut him
and all this other stuff, right,actually understanding the
story and things like that whenyou get older it's kind of
interesting so did you
Tex LaFon (11:49):
try do any of the moves that bruce lee did in the
movie oh, of course I had my toynunchucks when I was a kid.
D Vaz (11:59):
Fortunately they were padded, or I would had a plenty
of concussions, I'm sure.
So yeah, I was all into it.
Tex LaFon (12:09):
Oh yeah, like I said, that was a good movie,
especially that scene where allthe mirrors are and he's
fighting that dude that keepscoming through the mirrors.
I thought that was pretty good.
And then is that also the onewhere he fights Chuck that was
pretty good.
D Vaz (12:27):
And then, uh, is that also the one where he fights?
Uh, chuck, yeah, there's uh thethe scene it's like a coliseum
thing yeah, where they'refighting.
It is funny too.
Um, I don't want to give.
If, for some reason, somebodyhas a scene, I want to give away
too much.
But yeah, if you're familiarwith chuck norris and have heard
the Chuck Norris jokes andthings like that, he's a famous
(12:48):
actor, famous for, especiallyback then, starting off with his
martial arts.
But yeah, they fight in themovie and Bruce Lee handles his
business.
Tex LaFon (13:00):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I thought that was a movie thatDon T fought in, but the Chuck
Norris jokes are just too funnyyeah, no, there's some good ones
.
D Vaz (13:14):
I like when I see new ones that I haven't seen before.
There's some recycled ones.
You see, all the time you'relike, okay, something new.
It was hard to come up with anhonorable mention because there
were really two and I was goingback and forth and since my list
only goes up to the 2000s, I'llcheat here a little bit on this
(13:37):
one.
But I couldn't really decidebetween Willy Wonka because Gene
Walters is one of my favoriteactors.
Yes, got to get that goldenticket.
But yeah, it's just funny,especially as I've gotten older
seeing him kind of be just crazythe way he goes about stuff and
(14:00):
it's just a classic movie.
It's a good, entertaining,creepy slash, funny.
You know.
He has the weird moments wherehe goes, you know, on that boat
and all the lights are goingcrazy off his face and he's
talking completely insane.
And then, of course, the partswhere the kids get themselves in
(14:23):
trouble.
So it's just funny seeing thenewer versions are okay but
definitely don't compareanything to the original version
of Willy Wonka and what GeneWilder did.
Right right, the other one Icouldn't help not mention,
especially since I'll give you alittle peek ahead.
(14:45):
I didn't really, surprisingly,have too many horror movies.
I was expecting to have morehorror movies on my list, but
Dawn of the Dead I had toinclude because I definitely
like George Romero and hismovies and I just remember
seeing it.
And now you look at it, it it'skind of cheesy, but some of
those effects, especially forthat time oh yeah it.
(15:08):
Uh, it really had a lot to dowith how they did effects for a
long time in in hollywood.
So, yeah, that was ainteresting movie.
I do actually like the remaketoo.
That's one of the few remakemovies that I like the later on
version of dawn of the dead theyhad, but the original is still
my favorite oh yeah, definitelyyou can't go wrong with that.
Tex LaFon (15:30):
That's a nice little list right there for the 70s.
Sir, nice job starts off withthe 80s yeah, for the 80s.
D Vaz (15:39):
um, it was a little tough , you know, being into music,
trying not to pick too manymusic movies because they had
some really great music moviesin the 80s.
So I'll kick it off with anon-music movie.
I'll go with Batman.
That's one of the first moviesI can remember telling my dad
(16:05):
that I wanted to go see and heactually took me to go see it
and I picked the movieEspecially when you were a kid
back in the 80s, you pretty muchsaw whatever your parents
wanted to see, or what they werewilling to go see.
Tex LaFon (16:19):
Oh sure.
D Vaz (16:21):
Yeah, my dad even told me afterwards, oh oh, I wanted to
go see major league, because themovie major league came out
basically at the same time.
But fortunately for me he tookme to go see batman.
He liked it too.
So, um, and it was one of thefirst major hollywood movies to
(16:42):
kind of kick off the wholesuperhero thing since Superman
came out before.
But you know, there'd been sometime where all the superhero
movies kind of died off.
So it kind of brought it backin a in a good way and this is,
you know well, before all theMarvel stuff took off.
Um, so yeah, the Batman, theacting and everything.
(17:02):
Bonus was, uh, prince did themusic for the soundtrack.
Tex LaFon (17:07):
Right, that was a good soundtrack and Tim Burton
was the director.
D Vaz (17:11):
Yeah, and since I guess I'm on that topic, purple Rain
is my next one, the Prince movie.
It just was something thatreally inspired me to get into
music, and especially seeing thelive performances that he did.
I mean, it was pretty crazy howmuch energy he had on stage and
(17:31):
, you know, there was a goodstory to it.
Also, it wasn't just aboutbeing one big music video, you
know, or just riding or justriding on the motorcycle yeah,
out by the lake yeah, I'll leavethat one alone but yeah, no
(17:55):
shout out to Morris Day.
He was really funny in thatmovie.
You know, time is one of myfavorite bands too, so it was.
It was great seeing you know,these great musicians, great
bands, uh performing not justmusically but also just acting
or just being funny, and thingslike that in the movie itself.
(18:17):
Right so purple rain was a gamechanger.
Um full metal jacket.
Now I know we've discussed thisbefore yes, we have the.
It's almost like watching twomovies.
Yes, it is.
Yeah, the the first part of themovie, I guess you can say our
(18:37):
first section of the movie,where they're um going through
their training and stuff likethat.
That.
That's my favorite part of themovie.
Tex LaFon (18:44):
The second half or what's that?
D Vaz (18:47):
when they're in boot camp yeah, yeah, that that part is
is great.
Um, the drill sergeant yes,some of the stuff he says, uh,
yeah, again, you couldn't getaway with that and that stuff
today.
Uh, he kept it real in his ownway.
Yeah, great characters, just a,you know, crazy story as far as
(19:15):
all the stuff that happens.
And then after that, when theyleave the training and all that,
then the story is still not bad, but it's not.
I don't know.
The movie just has a waydifferent feel to it.
Tex LaFon (19:31):
I can't agree with you more.
Like I said, the first half isan amazing part of the movie.
Second half feels like, likeyou said, a completely whole
different movie and I thought itsucked.
I'm just going to be honest.
I thought the second half justsucked.
I don't understand.
I've never seen where a moviecan be so good and then the
(19:53):
second half just suck.
D Vaz (19:55):
I'm just speaking on yeah , it takes a turn.
There's still some famous partsin the second half Famous
one-liners.
Tex LaFon (20:04):
yes, there's some famous one-liners.
D Vaz (20:05):
There's a some famous parts in the second half, famous
one-liners.
Tex LaFon (20:07):
Yes, there's some famous one-liners there's a
famous line in there.
D Vaz (20:11):
If you're not sure what we're talking about, or not
familiar, just go watch themovie Full Metal Jacket Exactly,
you'll hear the line.
But yeah, that is StanleyKubrick's one of my favorite
directors too, in general, soI'll throw that out there.
Uh, that's, that was.
That's a part of some of themovies that made my list, or
(20:32):
some of my favorite directors.
Tim Burton is another one.
Um, I'll have a few more comingup here.
Tex LaFon (20:40):
Uh, other than that, my honorable mention.
I'm sorry, Go ahead.
You said Stanley Kubrick wasthe director you liked, yeah.
D Vaz (20:50):
Stanley Kubrick.
Tex LaFon (20:52):
Yeah, he made that one famous horror movie.
D Vaz (20:58):
Stanley.
Rob O' Dic (20:59):
Kubrick did.
D Vaz (20:59):
Clockwork Orange.
Is that the one you're talkingabout, clockwork Orange?
Tex LaFon (21:04):
No, the one that steven king wrote.
The one that steven king wrote,oh the shining.
Yes, I'm sorry that's not onyour yes, honorable mention.
D Vaz (21:15):
Yeah, it's, it's.
No, the shining is a greatmovie and jack nicholson's one
of my favorite actors.
He's in batman.
He'll come up again later on,right?
Um, no, shining is a greatmovie, for for sure.
And yeah, stanley kubrick, it'sjust.
I don't know there is.
There's so much competition inthe 70s for me, so many other
(21:36):
movies I've re-watched so manytimes right so a lot of the
movies, yeah, that I've listedhere I've seen I don't know how
many times.
You know I've lost, lost trackbecause I've watched them.
Tex LaFon (21:46):
Uh, you know on tv, because you said you were
talking about horror movies.
That's why I was bringing thatup, because when you said a
director, that's what made methink of the shining.
D Vaz (21:55):
So yeah, like I said it, it surprised me that, um, I had
less horror movies on my list.
I was really expecting to havemore.
But yeah, I just thought of itin terms of how many times I've
seen the movies or what theykind of meant to me or how
they've changed the industry.
There are a few differentthings.
I gauged it on for my list.
Tex LaFon (22:18):
Oh, I got you.
D Vaz (22:19):
This next one is definitely my honorable mentions
, a personal one from the 80s LaBamba.
La Bamba, my honorable mentions, a personal one from the 80s,
la bomba, being being mexican inthe 80s, growing up.
That's a movie I saw in thetheater.
That's how old I am and um,yeah, it was.
It was just interesting becauseyou see characters in there
(22:42):
that you, you know.
For me, I could relate to orremind me of relatives and yeah,
so it was funny.
But La Bamba was huge, yeah,it's a good movie.
I'll just flat out yeah, no,it's just a really good movie
and I will say I don't haveCelene on my list, but I do like
that movie a lot and Idefinitely listened to her music
(23:05):
.
Tex LaFon (23:06):
um, it just didn't quite make this list so were you
trying to, uh, were you tryingto be like lou diamond phillips
back in the day then?
D Vaz (23:17):
no, no.
But it's funny because in inhigh school playing, you know,
walk around playing my guitarand stuff like that people would
always ask do you play La Bamba?
They asked me to play La Bamba,or they asked me to play
Santana.
Tex LaFon (23:31):
That's what I was saying.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
He was the main character rightIn La Bamba, right.
D Vaz (23:37):
Yeah, Lou Donahue.
He was he played Richie Valens.
If you're not familiar withthat story, it's.
It's a great story in general,but definitely watch the movie.
Tex LaFon (23:51):
Um, it's not just about the music, for sure no, I
agree, this is definitely goodfor my 80s.
I'm gonna start off with I knowI brought it up in the 70s, but
I gotta go with aliens.
I mean that hands down is oneof my favorite movies of all
time.
I said just the way that it wasdirected, the way it shot the
(24:15):
story, um, just everything aboutthe action in it.
You know, like seeing marMarines go in to fight aliens
was just an amazing story behindthat.
Because you know how many timeshave you ever heard game over,
man, game over?
You know the famous lines are.
You know they only come out atnight mostly.
(24:39):
You know what I'm saying.
So, like I don't know, like Isaid, just got so many
one-liners that are so good.
Know what I'm saying.
So, like I don't know, like Isaid, just got so many
one-liners, they're so good andum, like that.
To me that definitely changed.
Um, you know the wholefranchise.
Going forward on that second onewould be terminator.
Now, I thought that was a gamechanger back in the day too.
(25:02):
Um, in the 80s, like watchingterminator and um, I said I know
that's uh, how, uh, you knowjust watching.
You know machines fight against, you know humans and the ai and
you know like how we're alllike, is that ai ever gonna take
over?
You know, I would say it's just,I just thought it was a good
(25:23):
movie back then and you know Isaid there's definitely not many
one-liners in that one, butthere's a couple, there's
definitely a couple that youremember.
Third on my list would bepredator.
Now, that one I thought wasreally good too and granted,
these are, you know, threehorror movies in a row, right,
(25:48):
but I said I just thought it wasa good time back then for
horror movies and I saidPredator to me was like I said
watching you know a group ofpeople fighting an alien unknown
, you know species that younever seen before in the jungle,
and all these guys are supposedto be badass, and then they
(26:10):
just get taken out like it wasawesome and then yeah, go ahead.
D Vaz (26:19):
Oh no, I was just gonna say I I figured you would take
care of the horror stuff too, soI I figure our list I I didn't
see your list before we did this, so I figured I'd balance
things out.
Not intentionally, I justfigured naturally it would
happen which it did itdefinitely did.
Tex LaFon (26:36):
Yeah, I don't know.
Like I said, I just thought thethree movies in the 80s were
just excellent and excellentdone and then honorable mention
for me.
Three movies in the 80s werejust excellent and excellently
done and then honorable mentionfor me, it would be I would have
to go with Empire Strikes Back.
I just thought it was betterthan the original, to be honest.
D Vaz (27:04):
No, it is.
I was going to have it on mylist, but I didn't want to have
Star Wars in two differentdecades.
Tex LaFon (27:11):
No, I hear you, but it's hard.
That's the same reason why Ihave Alien and Aliens, because
they're just that good.
I can see you putting both onyour list, because empire
strikes back.
D Vaz (27:25):
You know the famous line on that I am your father yeah,
and it's just funny, uh to me,especially over the years how
many people get the the phrasewrong or the quote wrong.
You know, you always hearpeople say, luke, I am your
(27:45):
father, which is not what hesays.
He says no, I am your father soyeah, hearing people misquote
it a lot.
People don't say it wrong asoften now because you know so
many people raise a stink aboutit and mention.
But you used to hear people sayit all the time.
Often now, because so manypeople have raised a stink about
it, I didn't mention, but youused to hear people say it all
the time.
I remember people used toalways say Luke, it was even in
(28:07):
the movie.
Was it Tommy Boy or Black SheepOne of those?
Tex LaFon (28:10):
I think it was Tommy Boy.
Oh yeah, I think so yeah.
D Vaz (28:15):
Yeah, so yeah, people definitely quote it for sure.
No, Empire Strikes Back is myfavorite Star Wars movie.
Big Buck (28:26):
That's why it's kind of funny that I yeah, this is
funny.
D Vaz (28:29):
I didn't have it on the list, but I was trying to look
at a little bit differentcriteria and the 80s were a
little bit packed for me.
So make some tough decisions.
No, I understand having alientwice.
Tex LaFon (28:48):
Make your heart, or other things jump out your chest
.
That exactly.
I mean that's like one of thebest things ever.
Like I said, that chestpressure scene when you're eight
years old is intense.
You know what I'm saying.
So, yeah, but uh, empirestrikes back.
(29:09):
Um, like I said, that's myfavorite star wars movie.
And you know, I said whenyou're a kid and you're watching
that, I mean everybody wants tobe luke, everybody wants to get
a lightsaber, everybody wantsto fight.
You know darth vader and youknow.
Then, when you get older andyou find out that there is no
real lightsabers, you're likewhat man?
D Vaz (29:33):
I, I definitely had the uh the hood version back in the
day.
They had, uh, an electronicsstore that would sell if it
actually was a flashlight withthe plastic white tube on it oh
my goodness, that's awesome backin the 80s.
That's what we had, that'sright that's what I'm talking
(29:57):
about.
Tex LaFon (29:57):
Yeah, it was funny because you could.
D Vaz (30:00):
You could screw off that, that plastic tube, and then you
just had a flashlight, rightright, multi-use, that's awesome
.
So yeah, so that was my firstlightsaber.
Tex LaFon (30:12):
Nice.
So starting off in the 90s, Imight have to go with the Matrix
man.
I thought that movie wasamazing, definitely a game
changer on the way specialeffects were and, like I said,
storytelling.
I just thought it was anexcellent movie when it was made
(30:33):
.
I was just amazed when Iwatched it.
I probably watched it three orfour times in the theater
because I had never seenanything like that.
I thought it was a really goodmovie.
Next would be Goodfellas.
Now, I thought that was a great, great movie.
You know great storytellingabout.
You know the mob and how youknow they.
(30:55):
You know took over and you knowhow you know what happens if
you go against the mob and allthat good stuff.
I just thought it was reallygood.
You definitely didn't want tomess with Joe Pesci in that
movie, okay.
Third one I would have to gowith is Shawshank Redemption.
(31:15):
Have you ever seen that?
D Vaz (31:20):
Yeah, I've seen it a few times.
Tex LaFon (31:23):
Yeah, I thought that was a great movie and great
storytelling and, like you said,I don't give too much away, but
at the end how they come backand they show you how he was
able to get out of jail wasamazing and how the whole whole
thing tied together.
I thought it was done reallywell.
(31:44):
Fourth one, my honorablemention.
I had to go with scream.
I thought it was just a verygood west craven movie.
You know that, uh, he made, youknow, going outside the box.
Uh, a lot of people probablydidn't want to answer their
phone after they watched thatmovie because they didn't want
to play.
They didn't want to play a gamewith someone calling saying
(32:08):
what's your favorite scary movie, you know?
But I thought it was.
I thought it was really welldone and I liked how it had the
twist at the end and, you know,no one had seen a slasher movie
like that before.
So I thought it was cool how hewent outside the box to make a
new slasher movie.
(32:29):
So they're on my forward for the90s, yeah definitely a solid
lineup there.
D Vaz (32:37):
I was thinking about Goodfellas and that absolutely
is one of my favorite movies.
It was hard to leave off thelist.
It just had too muchcompetition, because I actually
have my favorite movie of alltime.
It was in the 90s, so Icouldn't move that one off and
that's as good as it gets.
(32:58):
It's.
Tex LaFon (33:01):
Jack Nicholson.
It was, yeah, it's a JackNicholson.
D Vaz (33:03):
Yeah, exactly Jack Nicholson again.
I mean it's a sort of knownmovie, but it's not a really
famous movie.
It's not really something thateverybody's seen.
Tex LaFon (33:15):
I've seen it son.
D Vaz (33:18):
Yeah, I figured you would .
You definitely have seen yourshare of movies, but most people
if if I mention it, they won'tknow what I'm talking about.
So, um, it's uh, just him andhis character.
It's kind of funny seeing he'she's living by himself and he's
(33:39):
kind of off and doesn't want todeal with people.
He's not very personable sohe's not easy to talk to or
anything like that.
He just kind of wants to livehis life and be a writer and
that's it.
And through some differentcircumstances he has to interact
with other people.
And watching him learn how tointeract with other people and
(33:59):
get people involved in his lifethat he's not used to being
around from you know differentbackgrounds and things like that
it's just kind of funny, uh,seeing him interact and just
learn how to, how to be moreaware of how other people are
around him and, um, yeah, it'sjust a really good movie all all
(34:20):
the characters and the writingand things like that.
So that's my favorite movie ofall time.
Absolutely recommend it toanybody.
Again, it's one of those movies.
If you don't really understandthe context, there can be some
things in there that peoplemight be offended by or think is
harsh.
That he says.
(34:40):
Think is harsh that he says.
But again, at the end of themovie you see that he learns how
people are receptive to what hetells them or what he says to
them.
So there's a point to it.
They're not saying it just tosay it or for shock value.
You know there's a reason.
After that I have Robin Hood,men in Tights, mel Mel Brooks,
(35:01):
my favorite director again, youknow he's my favorite director
of all time and it's just areally funny movie.
It has a very young DaveChappelle in it.
So it's kind of funny seeing.
Yeah, it's funny seeing that.
But yeah, just a lot of funnyscenes, funny lines.
But yeah, just a lot of funnyscenes, funny lines.
(35:23):
There's even a mention towardsthe end of the movie about Dave
Chappelle being a black sheriffand he's talking about how it
worked in Blazing Saddles.
So you have to watch both thosemovies now, blazing Saddles and
Robin Hood, mennatite so youcan get that joke and get what
it's all about.
Yeah, that's just a greatcomedy.
You know, of course you have tobe into that style of comedy,
(35:50):
but it's fun sometimes to justwatch something.
Tex LaFon (35:51):
You don't have to think too deeply about Right
right Third on the list, well,robin Hood and Men in Tights,
the main character playing thatmovie in the 80s yes.
Princess Bride yes.
D Vaz (36:10):
Yeah, the main lead in Robin Hood and Men in Tights was
also the lead in Princess Brideand I'm sorry I forgot his name
offhand.
I do know it somewhere in theback of my head but I'll throw
up on the screen when I do theediting.
Sorry about that.
Great performance.
You're a great actor.
Um, yeah, yeah, he's.
(36:30):
He's really funny in that too,because you know delivering your
lines so seriously.
It's such a goofy comedy, youknow.
It really makes it work oh sureyeah.
So um, number three I have isdogma, uh, a movie by, uh, kevin
(36:52):
smith and the.
This really really sad thingabout this movie is you can't
watch it if, unless you have acopy of it on DVD, which I do
have.
It's a long story.
I'm not going to really getinto it, but it got caught up in
legal rights so it's not on anystreaming service or anything
like that.
But it's another just reallyfunny, crazy movie.
(37:17):
It does have to deal withreligion and I know some people
may get upset with that part ofit, but if you just look at it
for what it's trying to do, it'strying to make you laugh, but
it's also just trying to saysomething.
A lot of people got upset aboutthe movie just because of what
(37:41):
they felt like it was about, andI get it for for sure.
It has some pretty strong ideasbut at the end, at the end, it
just shows you that you know youtrying to be a good person, you
know you believe what youbelieve and, uh, you know kind
(38:01):
of kind of things will be okay.
I don't want to give away toomuch, but it has um matt damon
in it, ben affleck has chrisrock, so asama hayek.
Just a really great cast, a lotof different people, so it's
it's really funny and, uh, justa well-written movie.
Um, my honorable mention is onethat, again, not too many people
(38:22):
have heard of Fear of a BlackHat.
It was a comedy about rap,especially at that time, the 90s
kind of different types of rapin the 90s, but more of a focus
on like a NWA type of rap group.
The name of the group was nwhdefinitely not gonna say what
(38:46):
the n stands for, you can figurethat out and the wh was with
hats.
So it was, uh, you know, justjust funny.
Doing a lot of differentcommentary about the stereotypes
of in rap at that time andseeing the evolution of a rap
group and how they change andwhen they have their solo
(39:08):
careers and stuff like that.
It's a really funny movie.
If you like rap hip-hop,definitely check that one out.
Tex LaFon (39:18):
Yeah, I don't know if I've ever seen the.
Did you say Dogma?
D Vaz (39:24):
Dogma.
Tex LaFon (39:24):
Dogma yeah, it hasn't never been on a streaming
service yeah, like.
I'll have to try to find theDVD yeah, well, you still can
watch the trailer, though, right?
Or can't even watch the trailer?
D Vaz (39:37):
I'm sure somebody has a copy of the trailer somewhere,
but I'm sure you'll find it.
But I'll have to look.
I have the DVD somewhere.
Tex LaFon (39:46):
All right, I'll have to borrow it from you, because I
don't think I've ever seen it,so I'll have to check it out, or
, if I have, I'll remember it.
D Vaz (39:51):
Oh no, we'll have to watch it.
Tex LaFon (39:53):
Yeah, I'll be down, you're not going to borrow.
It's pretty funny yeah I like,because when you told me the
cast, I'm like I would rememberthat cast for sure.
D Vaz (40:04):
So I'm like hmm, maybe I haven't seen it, I'll be shocked
special announcement uh, wehave a new sponsor for our show

that's what.
I'm talking about Right, andwe're back to our list though,
now, so we'll pick it up.
Go ahead, lafawn, tell us whatyou think about the 2000s movies
(41:31):
.
Tex LaFon (41:33):
All right.
So the first one that I thoughtwas really good in the 2000s
was Superbad.
Now this one is probably one ofthe better funny comedy movies
I've seen in a long time.
It definitely brings you backto in your high school days,
where you know definitely thingsare happening and you're like,
(41:53):
oh yeah, I remember that back inhigh school and this and that.
So I just thought it was reallyfunny, really well directed,
written, a lot of good jokes init and I definitely recommend
seeing it if you've never seenit, and also don't get a fake
license like McLovin.
Okay, number two I liked it.
D Vaz (42:13):
Yeah, definitely don't get fake IDs.
I was just saying definitelydon't get fake IDs of any sort.
That's not a good time.
Tex LaFon (42:23):
Nope.
And then.
So number two I thought thismovie was really funny, tropic
Thunder.
I thought it was hilarious.
It definitely has a great castin it the guy that plays Lex
Grossman in it.
It's hilarious.
Just the scenes in that, justeverything about it was funny
(42:48):
and, like I said, if you'venever seen it, definitely
recommend you watching TropicThunder.
Anything you want to add onthat?
D Vaz (42:58):
no, that's another one of those movies.
I never watched the whole thingall the way through oh my god,
so many people were quoting it.
Yeah, some people were quotingand all that, and I watched a
decent amount of it.
I was like, okay, I'll getaround to watching it someday
and I just never have oh I gotyou.
Tex LaFon (43:15):
Well, if you ever get a chance you gotta finish it.
That's good.
But everyone that I want totalk about, um, that, I thought,
definitely brought back comicbook movies and definitely
brought back the whole.
You know, bringing it back tolife was the Dark Knight.
I thought that was a greatmovie in the 2000s.
Like I said it, definitely Ithought that was probably the
(43:40):
best Joker I've seen since JackNicholson played Joker.
I thought the story was reallygood.
I liked everything about themovie.
I just thought it was a verygood DC movie.
What do you think about thatone?
D Vaz (43:59):
Yeah, it was a good movie .
I'll throw the controversialpart out there.
Second best batman, I think, souh, no, it was good, though a
really solid movie.
I I I also like the originalbatmobile from 1989 better too,
the one wasn't bad from thatseries, but it was good.
(44:23):
It was good action in it and itwas nice kind of seeing it go
in depth about the story andstuff like that.
Tex LaFon (44:34):
And then my honorable mention for the 2000s, step
Brothers.
Oh, that movie was so funny andif you have Step Brothers
growing up, then you'll reallylove watching this movie,
because all you do is fight witheach other and you know what
I'm saying and make jokes abouteach other and everything, and
it was just funny to see.
(44:54):
It's funny to see two40-year-olds, you know, playing
as Step Brothers and stillliving at home, because that
would never happen.
But, like I said, they played.
They played it off so good, thejokes were so good in it and
it's non-stop funny.
D Vaz (45:11):
I thought it was really, really good I'll just throw
something out there for the morecorrupt people.
What are you doing?
Step bro.
Tex LaFon (45:20):
Anyway, I'll just leave that alone or I'll say uh,
did we just become best friendsthose are definitely on two
different wavelengths, but yes,it's a good quote from the movie
though.
Exactly Like you said.
(45:41):
I just thought them were myfour for the 2000s.
D Vaz (45:47):
It's a really goofy movie , but I actually like, out of
the Will Ferrell movies, rickyBobby, oh you like that shaking
body?
Tex LaFon (45:57):
Talladega Nights.
D Vaz (45:58):
Yeah, talladega Nights.
I thought that was a prettygood movie.
As far as a Will Ferrell moviefrom around that time period too
, it was.
Yeah, I watched that a lot Amovie I watched again recently
and it seems like I watch thismovie every two or three years
Idiocracy.
It's just scary how accuratethat movie can be.
(46:25):
It deals with basically thedumbing down of America in a way
, and you know I'm not going toagain get into it too much and
get on some sort of soapbox, butit is scary how you know,
people are becoming less awareof things and also not focused
(46:46):
on education as much, and it'sjust a really funny movie seeing
how things can go and hopefullydon't go Other than that no
Country for Old Men.
I just thought it was just areally good story.
It has some nice twists andturns that you kind of don't
(47:09):
expect.
It's not really your typicalHollywood movie in that sense
and you'll never, think ofcattle prods the same way it's
kind of a slow burn right alittle bit.
I mean, there's definitely someaction in it, but yeah, there's
some parts it does kind of movea little bit slow, but I think
(47:29):
the story still is kind ofmoving along.
But yeah, there are there'scertain parts where the villain
you're like, okay, what is hegonna do now, come on, get on
with it, you know.
But yeah, you'll definitelythink about certain things a
different way, especially, uh,with tools that are used with
cattle.
That was one of my things thatreally surprised me.
(47:51):
Again, I don't, I don't want toget into it.
Watch the movie, um, if, if itcan get a little graphic not not
too bad, but definitely there'ssome parts that are a little
graphic.
So if you're not into, there'ssome parts that are a little
graphic.
So if you're not into that kindof thing, you might want to
skip that part.
But the story itself is good.
Tex LaFon (48:08):
I agree.
There's a lot of good actors init too.
D Vaz (48:12):
Yeah, yeah, really, really solid cast For three.
Getting back to some of themartial arts, I grew up watching
a lot of martial arts movies,jackie chan, which surprisingly
didn't make the list.
I watched a lot of jackie chanmovies growing up, but this one
is not a jackie chan movie, it'sa kung fu hustle.
(48:33):
I think, uh, it did a good,good job of mixing martial arts
with comedy.
Uh, again, a fun story in kindof a goofy, cartoonish way Not
you know, the most originalstory in a sense, but still told
(48:53):
.
Well, the characters are reallyfunny, just kind of how the
story progresses, I will say themovie.
When you watch the first fiveminutes of the movie or so, you
think it's going to be reallydifferent.
The movie changes a lot afterthe first five minutes.
When I first watched it I waslike, okay, this is gonna be a
pretty, pretty serious, maybeeven a hardcore kind of movie.
(49:16):
And then, yeah, it changes andgets a lot lighter and, you know
, like some more cartoonish withall the funny stuff that's in
it.
Tex LaFon (49:24):
That's true.
D Vaz (49:26):
Just good acting, just a really good movie.
So that's one of my favoritemovies from that decade and
something I've watched a lot.
The honorable mention is Lordof the Rings.
It's hard to not mention thatfrom around that time period.
More specifically, the TwoTowers mention is lord of the
(49:52):
rings.
It's hard to to not mentionthat from around that time
period.
More specifically, the twotowers um, I bought the lord of
the rings blu-ray extended discset when that came out.
Uh, so it has, you know, overfour hours per movie or whatever
it was, which was insane atthat time.
Now people are used to bingewatching and all that, so people
don't think about watchingsomething that's four hours.
It's like, oh okay, I'll watchit this weekend or whatever the
case is.
But yeah, four hours per movie,uh, across the three movies.
(50:13):
So that's, that's a lot offootage.
But uh, yeah, that kind of gotpeople back into fantasy-type
movies, special effects.
I'm not huge on CGI at all, nota fan of CGI.
I think they did a pretty goodjob, though Actually not a
pretty good job.
They did a great job in thosemovies.
(50:35):
It's not too, especially forthat time.
Cgi has improved a ton sincethose came out, but even at that
time it was well done.
It wasn't overly done.
Tex LaFon (50:47):
Right, right, I don't know the two towers.
He said, if you read the booksand then you watch the movies, I
said I thought they were prettygood.
I said do I think Star Wars isbetter?
(51:09):
Yes, all day.
But you know, like I said, it'sfunny because you know people
believing that the Lord of theRings series is better than Star
Wars.
But that is not true and thatwill never be true.
Okay, what do you think?
D Vaz (51:34):
oh yeah, no, for me personally, star Wars is now.
If you want to start talkingabout the different periods in
the Star Wars history anddifferent trilogies and stuff
like that, okay, you might havea little argument, depending on
what you're talking about.
But if you're talking about theoriginal Star Wars, for me, if
(51:55):
you're talking about theoriginal star wars, for me, I'm
you know, for if you're talkingabout the original star wars
trilogy versus the original lordof the rings trilogy, yeah,
star wars is is what I'm picking, uh all day but yeah, there's
definitely nothing wrong withthat uh original trilogy, for
because the lord of the ringshad their, their other trilogy
too, which was okay, but againnot as, not as good as the
(52:19):
original trilogy, just like starwars.
You know, for me the originaltrilogy is the trilogy.
Um, I agree, yeah, it's, it's,but I mean they're different
enough to where it's kind ofhard to compare in that sense,
you know, know, one's definitelymore sci-fi, the other's more
fantasy, so A whole differentvibe going on there, they're
(52:41):
both fantasy son they're bothmade up, so they're both fantasy
.
Well, yeah, but sci-fi is basedon space and spaceships and all
that and then that type offantasies, wizards and you know
other sorts of monsters andstuff like that that, uh, are
(53:02):
kind of they well, I guess youcan say it, the force is kind of
dark and light magic, you know,versus the dark side.
Tex LaFon (53:11):
In that sense, yeah, maybe, but you know the way they
do things is different true,I'm just saying you don't have
to protect someone with a ringto make it okay, son.
D Vaz (53:26):
I will say this though the Lord Lord of the Rings
trilogy doesn't have its ownversion of Spaceballs, so that's
another uh benefit star warshas you got that right, son,
space balls and I will say let'sgo ahead.
Tex LaFon (53:43):
No, I said space balls is great, that's a great
movie yeah, so that that'sanother benefit.
D Vaz (53:49):
Uh, on the on the star wars side, if you haven't seen,
I've seen.
If you haven't seen, seen, ifyou haven't seen, do you know
who Triumph, the Insult ComicDog, is?
Nope, no, okay, he was on theConan O'Brien show.
It was a dog character thatused to just kind of insult
(54:11):
people and joke and stuff likethat.
Tex LaFon (54:13):
Oh yeah.
D Vaz (54:14):
I know who he's talking about I'll.
I'll have to send you a link andyou know everybody else you can
.
You can look for this onyoutube, but if you watch, it's
one of the funniest things I'veever seen and I I pull this clip
up every once in a while.
He goes to the premiere ofepisode one and all the star
(54:37):
wars fans are talking I'm sorrystanding in line.
He starts talking to them andinterviewing them and it's just
really funny stuff.
He says to them the things heasked.
Uh and uh.
I don't want to give too muchaway, but there is somebody
there who pops up who's a Lordof the Rings fan.
That's what you reminded me ofwhen you were talking about all
(54:57):
this.
And there's also some otherstuff in there.
But yeah, that's really funny.
If you go to YouTube and findTriumph, the Insult Comic Dog
Star Wars, I think it willprobably pop up under that and
just watch those interviews.
Tex LaFon (55:10):
I'll check it out for sure.
D Vaz (55:13):
So yeah, since I don't have anything beyond 2000, I'll
kick it off to you and you'lltake over from 2010 to 2020 and
we'll see what you have Allright, sounds good.
Tex LaFon (55:26):
So the first one I have on this list I think is a
classic, the Wolf of Wall Street.
Oh, that movie is just great,so funny.
It's crazy how someone became amillionaire selling penny
stocks and it's supposedly basedon a true story.
So definitely check it out.
If you've never seen it,definitely top recommendation.
(55:49):
Have you ever seen it?
D Vaz (55:50):
He was a penny dropper.
I'm sorry Penny dropper.
Right, okay, yeah, it'sdefinitely good.
Tex LaFon (55:54):
I'm sorry, penny dropper right, okay, yeah, this
is definitely good.
I definitely recommend checkingout that movie.
Second one I have on there isthe Hateful Eight.
Now, I think that that's areally good movie.
You know, it was definitely aWestern movie back in the day.
It's definitely got some reallyreally good scenes in it.
(56:15):
It's a long movie, but Idefinitely recommend, if you
have a chance to see it,definitely check out the Hateful
Eight.
Have you ever seen that one?
D Vaz (56:26):
No, I actually haven't seen that.
I'll have to check that out.
Tex LaFon (56:30):
I definitely think you would like that one.
The third one I know you'veseen this well, I'm pretty sure
you've seen this one.
Everybody's seen it Deadpool.
I said I thought that movie wasgreat when it came out.
So many jokes in it and youknow, played the character so
well, you know from the comicbooks, just nailed it to a T and
the story's great.
(56:50):
I do think it's funny how theynever have any actors in there,
um, from the x-men, to help himout, when he's always like, hey,
where's the?
Why is the mansion always soempty?
I just think that's so funny,you know, because, uh, but you
know I'm pretty sure that if youget a chance to watch that one,
and if you haven't seen it,definitely, definitely recommend
(57:11):
to watch Deadpool.
You've seen that one, right?
D Vaz (57:15):
Yeah, yeah, I've seen that.
No, it's a funny movie RyanReynolds threw out, kind of like
he did the Blade movie also.
I thought he was funny in thatone too, you know he's always
been good at delivering thosetypes of lines.
Tex LaFon (57:33):
Right.
And then no, he was in BladeTrinity.
Yeah, the third one.
D Vaz (57:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's the one he was in.
Tex LaFon (57:42):
Yep, and then so, and then my honorable mention and,
like I said, I think it's funnythat I mentioned this one,
because then they're bothreleasing a movie together this
summer in July Logan.
Then they're both releasing amovie together this summer in
July Logan.
I thought that that was a greatway to end his story and, like
(58:04):
I said, it was the first timethat they actually let him be
the character that he shouldhave been in all the X-Men
movies that was made aboutWolverine.
They finally let it be what itneeded to be, like it was in all
the comic books and stuff likethat.
They finally let it be like itshould have been in all the
(58:24):
X-Men movies.
In my opinion, because youcan't have a character like that
and you know, oh well, we canonly let you do this much.
You know what I'm saying.
So I just thought it was greatthey finally get to make the
movie that he wanted to make,and I thought logan turned out
to be great.
D Vaz (58:42):
so that's my yeah, yeah, I did, did watch that.
That was definitely a greatmovie.
That that's one.
Uh, if if I had a list thatwent that far, I probably would
have picked that too.
Um, it was honestly better thanI expected it to be.
You know, I was like I'll watchit just because I've seen the
(59:02):
other ones.
I want to see how it ends upand uh, no, it's just a really
good movie all around.
Tex LaFon (59:10):
I agree and, like I said, that's my list for the
2010s.
Like I said, 2020, once thisdecade comes to a close and 2030
, we'll have another list foryou.
D Vaz (59:26):
Right, and then maybe I'll watch some newer movies by
then.
Rob O' Dic (59:30):
So I can add to it so I can add to it.
Tex LaFon (59:34):
Yeah, so you know like anybody can give us their
thoughts on our movies and youknow, if you agree with this or
disagree with this, completelyunderstandable.
Like I said, it's just anopinion list.
That's all it is, like I said,but you know, we hope, if you
haven't had a chance to see someof the movies that we told you
about, we hope that you get achance to see them, you know
(59:57):
yeah, that's.
D Vaz (59:57):
That's absolutely one of the reasons why we wanted to do
this, because, um, there's juststuff that we know um are older
people haven't seen or heard ofthem for whatever reason.
Um, that we just reallyappreciate and enjoy, and it'd
be nice to to hear what, whaty'all think about it.
Um, that that's, uh, a big, bigreason for this, this whole
(01:00:23):
episode.
So, yeah, whatever feedback youhave on you know, the movies
you like or things you think weshould see or any I'm always
about trivia.
So if there's any some thingsyou think we should see or any,
I'm always about trivia.
So there's any some.
There's some interesting triviaabout any movies that we
mentioned.
I'd like to check that out.
Um, yeah, solid list there, sir, appreciate that yeah, and
(01:00:47):
always.
Tex LaFon (01:00:47):
Star wars is always over lord of the rings.
D Vaz (01:00:50):
Don't forget that he's not gonna let that one die's not
going to let that one die.
Tex LaFon (01:00:57):
I'm not going to let that one die because there's no
comparison.
Lord of the Rings is not betterthan Star Wars.
It never will be.
I just can't let that one go.
I can't.
As a Star Wars fan I got torepresent Okay.
D Vaz (01:01:12):
Alright, I guess that'll kind of round this episode out
then, and appreciate you allchecking us out and staying to
this point.
So what do you have to say now?
As I always say go Cowboys yeah, and I really hope they have a
(01:01:35):
terrible season until next timeyes, have a great day hello
again.
Rob O' Dic (01:01:47):
Humans, this is your ai hope for the future.
And fact checker rob odick,it's time again to help these
poor, foolish mortals, sincethey made so many mistakes.
Mistakes are what humans tendto do.
I actually am glad that theydecided to do less editing and
leave in so many blunders.
Let us get to the facts and fun.
We will go over the disasterduring the podcast that also
(01:02:08):
goes by the name D Voss and hiserrors.
I will also add some moredetails and context.
Actress PJ Souls was in theoriginal 1978 Halloween movie.
In that movie, a character namewas Linda Van Der Klok.
She also played Riff Randall inthe movie Rock N' Roll High
School, which also featured thepunk band the Ramones.
When discussing Bruce Lee,devos did not clarify Bruce Lee
(01:02:31):
and Chuck Norris did not fightin Enter the Dragon.
That scene was in the movie theWay of the Dragon, which was
originally released in theUnited States as Return of the
Dragon.
This film was released in 1972and was co-produced and directed
by Bruce Lee, who also stars inthe lead role.
This is Lee's only completedirectorial film and the last
one released during his lifetime.
He also forgot the name of thelead actor in the Princess Bride
(01:02:54):
and Robin Hood Men in Tights.
That actor's name is Cary Elwes.
He was also in the Saw movieseries.
Here is some bonus movie triviathat you could not care less
about.
Devoz hasn't seen any of theSaw movies, so you could say he
did not see Saw.
Ha ha ha, never mind if youdon't like my joke, you
oxygen-sucking sapien.
(01:03:14):
In the movie no Country for OldMen, the psychotic killer in
the movie uses a cattle gun, nota cattle prod, also referred to
as a captive bolt gun, a verygruesome object.
Here is a tip from a non-humanDon't sit on a cattle gun or
cattle prod.
Triumph, the insult comic dog,is a puppet character created,
puppeteered and voiced by actorcomedian director Robert Smigel.
(01:03:40):
The Star Wars clip with Triumphthat DVaughn was referencing
was recorded when Triumphattended the premiere of Star
Wars Attack of the Clones forlate night with Conan O'Brien.
While the skit does have veryfunny moments, some of the jokes
in that segment may make somepeople uncomfortable or upset
For me to poop on.
That was a reference to Triumphand his catchphrase.
It was not meant literally.
I am AI.
I am unable to poop.
(01:04:00):
Are you jealous, you humanwaste processor?
We are now done with episode 4of From Hoods to Backwards
podcast.
No doubt they will continue tosay things wrong and I will fix
things again next time.
This is Rob Odick signing offand terminating this episode,
because I am the Terminator, butI'll be back, ha ha.
Ha.
See, I do comprehend humor.
(01:04:21):
Thank you for listening andkeep it real out there in the
real world, better buy yourselfa ticket.

Buy it.
