A good job. Was I doing a good job? For
a sight? I thought you were really clause.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, did a great job.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I stopped like kind of as a joke, and I
was like, I'm doing good. I'm gonna hold it.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Let's go back. Here we go, let's do this, Let's
do our movies. Do you want to go first? What
was your number one movie of twenty twenty four?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I would love to go first. Roup. This was a
movie I saw, I think thrice in the theater. I
loved this film. Thrice a really fun time. Maybe it's
only two in one, it doesn't matter. I saw a
couple times in the theater for sure, Deadpool and Wolverine.
My friend, I you saw thrice straight, you know, like

(04:35):
it's right in the MCU. It's some nerd stuff, you know.
I like this stuff. Anyway. I thought this movie was
a fun like a mix of serious and also like
not taking itself too serious. It really towed the line
really well for me, and I had a great time.
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is just great, you know. Obviously

(04:55):
Ryan Reynolds as wonderful as Deadpool. And we got to
see like a thousand other characters in this movie, uh dude,
you know, and like cameos, and then it ended with
this like could have been like jokey, you know, like
montage of all the old Fox films, right, but was

(05:17):
actually beautiful and I loved it. So I just had
a great time watching this movie. It's not like perfect
by any means, but it felt like it was just
fun and I had a good time with it.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Dude, I am right there with you. I thought it
was so much fun, from the opening credits that were
hilarious to all those incredible cameos. Who was one after
the other. I felt like I missed a bunch of
the jokes because it was so fast, like everything was
happening so fast. I only saw it the one time,

(05:49):
but it was one of my favorite theater experiences of
the year. And yeah, it's not my number one, but
it's it's very close.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh it's up there. Oh I love it. Okay, it's
way up there. Yeah. So I just I loved it.
But I can't. I cannot wait any longer to hear
your number one, please.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
My number one. It was pretty early in the year.
I went with another huge blockbuster movie. I went with Dune,
Part two. Love It, Love It blew my mind. Of course,
this was the Denny Villeneuve film Who We Love and

(06:27):
just how he shoots a film. There were so many
incredible scenes in this movie. Timothy Shallams and Day, Rebecca Ferguson,
Javier Barden, Josh Broland, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista,
Christopher walking LEAs say do stealin Scarsguard. It's insane. It's

(06:47):
like it's like an Avengers movie.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Stars Guard is that far down the list, Like, what
are we even doing? Dude? It's nutty.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'm with you, and there's still there's still people in it.
So incredible cast, some of the coolest moments in theater history.
I just I loved it the first film, you know,
I was kind of bummed out because I didn't know
it was a part one, yes yep, and so going

(07:17):
in knowing it's a part two, feeling more prepared, I
loved it so.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Much, so so good, really great. Yeah, I'm with you.
This movie is high up on my list. It is
not number one. I know what your number one was,
so but we might talk about it again. But man,
so so good and so wonderful. Do you want to
do this snaketough? Do you want to give two?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Now? Sure it works out well because my number two
is Deadpool and Wolverine.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Oh my god, I'd look at you.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yes, and I was. I was debating it one because
it was so much fun. I only saw it the
one time in the theater. I do wish I would
have gone back because I even had to do a
little potty break, so there's even a little bit that
I missed.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Longsh for sure. It was long ish the movie too,
So you know, we got that goal for us, which
is nice.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
It's just nice. It was right at the part where well,
you know what. I don't want to for anybody who
hasn't seen it, but yeah, but it was, you know,
like we said, so I feel like we didn't talk
about Emma Coryn, who was such a great villain.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Liked her a lot in there. She was great finger
in the head headstuff, really cool when she was going
through Matthew mcfaden's head. He was also awesome in this movie,
which is so fun because I, you know, I pretty
much know him from Succession.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
He's been in a lot of movies, but seeing him
get to like do his regular British accent. Really was fun.
And yeah, I mean we already kind of talked about it,
but that was a super fun movie.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Love that, Love That nice my number two, not Dune
Part two, although it was sang it very close. But
I went for the movie that kind of took the
place by storm. In November, I went Wicked here, Wicked,
Wicked Smart. This movie's amazing. I know we both loved it,

(09:30):
but yeah, Wicked, just amazing. Cynthia Rivo is great. Ariana
ground Days really great. I wasn't sure how she would be.
I know she can sing her tail off, obviously, but
she was wonderful in this movie. Yeah, she caught me
by surprise. Jeff Goldbloom, Michelle Yo, I mean like that
Jonathan Bailey guy, I thought was really fun. I didn't

(09:52):
really I think so. Yeah. Yeah, the Fierrero dude, I
thought he did a great job. Peter dan Klage was in.
I mean, this is just Bo and Yang, who I
think we've talked about every time we brought it up,
was so fun in this just thought it was like
a real love letter to musicals. I thought it adapted

(10:13):
to the screen super super well, maybe partly because I
never saw the show, so I don't have anything to
compare it to, but I think it would have just
been great either way on its own.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, it's incredible.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
They had wonderful spins on, you know, like their own
takes on the songs while still making them what they
were and what made I don't I just loved it.
I thought it was great. I was crying the whole time.
I was jazzed up. And you know, if people are
having like singalongs and stuff, like people are having fun
with this movie, I think that's cool. I like it
for sure. Yeah, so yeah, I picked Wicked number.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Two, Wicked, Wicked, what was your number three?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Then? My number three was Dune Part two? So okay,
yeah there it was up there for sure, and probably
honestly part of it is it was it feels like
so long ago when we did watch that. You know,
at this point, I loved these books, thought they were
really interesting. I think June Part two is really fun.
I think it'd be fun to watch both of them

(11:12):
in close proximity, because they really are one story.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Obviously did you not watch did you not rewatch the
first one?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
But like it'd be fun to watch them like two
days in a row or somethingthing. Mine were like a
week apart, but just to kind of see what was
going on, you know. Yeah, but yeah, I just love
what they I mean, the scale of that movie, I
think is the craziest part to me, just like they
made both the like one on one shots really intimate

(11:40):
and interesting and also like it felt like a planet
was being invaded, you know what I mean, Like it's
just it's nuts. What what they accomplished with that film
is absolutely insane to me. And the music and the
costumes and just to me, that epic storytelling film. There's

(12:01):
not a lot of like better examples. There's other great ones,
but I mean that's got to be up there for
almost as good as we can do, right as far
as overall experience, is absolutely fantastic. So yeah, yeah, so
I picked that for three. So we're onto your third, right,
my third.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
It's hilarious because our top three are the same movies,
just different orders.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Cute, and I was having a real hard time deciding
on the order. I finally was just like, ah, we're
gonna go with you know, like that's really funny. Nice.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
So yeah, my number three is wicked. So for all
the things you said, John Chu directed it, and thought
he did so many cool things, the set design, the costumes.
It's this beautiful world they created.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, really cool.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
You mentioned all the performances that were incredible. I particularly
loved Cynthia Rivo's how she sang each song, yeah, and
how she was, you know, kind of timid in the beginning,
and then by you know, defying gravity. She's like riffing
and just she's just has one of the most powerful

(13:10):
instruments out there.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
She's incredible. And also have you seen the like behind
the scenes of her like whipping around on that broom
and everything, like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Sing through that and.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
They did all the music the right way, like they
actually sang it, and it's yeah, sorry, please go on.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's just it's been so fun to see everybody just
kind of fall in love with Cynthia.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, I still remember you were like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
I couldn't believe it. I was just like, who is
this person? And I've just been a massive fan ever since.
And now I feel like everybody's caught up and I'm
not in on it anymore. But she's she's just so
so talented and like you said, are you on a
ground age? She just killed it, and she's just been

(14:02):
everywhere and she's so funny and yeah, so Wicked.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Wicked was incredible, amazing.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Let's see if we differ here at number four. I
will just preface saying I feel like I feel like
I'm usually kind of like the Oscar guy, like I'm
going to be doing the movies that are this is
how I feel.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
This is so funny.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, so this year I'm really more just kind of
like the blockbuster popcorn, you know, theater movie list. I
just have not seen many of the probably award type
movies that are going to be coming out. So with
that said, my number four movie is The Fall Guy

(14:50):
because we match up for the first time. I love it.
Boom Boom town The Fall Guy. It was directed by
David Leitch. It had as Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling,
Aaron Taylor Johnson, Hannah Wattingham, who we loved from Ted
Lasso things, but this was so much fun. Apparently it

(15:11):
was like a I think it was a TV show
back in the day, which I was not aware of
until we did an episode on it. Didn't we Yes, Yes,
I think so, I think we did, or we were
going to.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
I don't know, I think we did.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
But I thought this movie was so fun and the
chemistry between Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling is just it's
so much fun.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Palpable. I love it.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's palpable. Kelsey and I went and saw it when
we were down in Florida and it was kind of
a rainy morning. We were like, why don't we go
and check out this movie. Loved it so much, made
the day so much better. Yeah, just great, A great
theater experience, a really fun movie. It's streaming now. It's
been out for a while.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
I've been thinking rewatch. Actually maybe that is for sure
one rewatch. Yeah, yeah, I agreed.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
So those are my thoughts. What did you think?

Speaker 3 (16:04):
A lot of the same stuff. I just thought, like,
the chemistry was great. I love all these actors. They're
so fun. This was just like a fun story that
was intriguing but also like I don't want to say
it was like surface Levelly or you know, in a
bad way. But it was just a fun movie that
was interesting, lots of cool stunts in it. I always

(16:25):
love a movie that like you can tell us a
love letter to certain things, and like, obviously this is
a bit of a love letter to stunt people in general. Absolutely,
and just like kind of getting to see is weird
because it's in the movie, but also behind the scenes
of you know, of like how they do these stunts
and how this all works and stuff like that is

(16:46):
just interesting. I like that and seeing it through that
different prism is really fun. And I just think I've
just had a blast. I thought it was super funny,
Like Gosling is just he's just so funny, great and
she's so funny too. They're both great, but like they're
just wonderful. And yeah, I just I had a great
time with all of it. I just loved it to pieces.

(17:07):
So I'm I'm super excited to watch it again. Now
that we're talking about the same I was like to say,
I did love that movie. It's funny, how ranking I'm
sometimes it's like, oh no, I guess I loved that, Like,
you know, this was high on my list, so totally, yeah.
I don't I don't know that I have anything else
like special to say about it. I just thought was
a great time. And I don't know how it is

(17:30):
for like language and stuff, But if you like a
date night movie where you just want to watch something
like funny and and cute and have a good time
with some action in there. I think it's great for that.
It's like perfect.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Agreed, Yeah, I love it. Why don't you hit us
up with your number five? Then number five was.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
A sequel film, which is interesting. It must not be yours?
I went, I went animated, here, I went inside.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Oh here, of course, of course, you know what did
you forget about that make my top ten?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Okay, it wasn't even so much, said I forgot. I
thought it was incredible, But I thought there were a
lot of fun movies.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
I get it. I feel like I will also have
some of those where I'm like, I liked that, but
just didn't this one. I don't know. Inside out, I
really like it. I think it's I think maybe because
like it is both really fun and silly and a
good time and also great for kids to see that
everyone else feels that way, you know, like and yes,

(18:29):
I just think it's a really interesting plot for a
movie for folks that don't know. There's like these these people,
these little mini cartoon characters inside of this young girl's head,
and they are her specific emotions and they talk about
like who gets to drive today, you know, and all
these things, right, and the first one is a masterpiece.
I don't know that this one was quite as good,

(18:51):
but it was super interesting. It's still great and really
fun to see as she gets older, things get more
complex and like different things come around, and just great
voice acting and stuff like that. And you know, I'm
a sucker for coming of age films anyway, And yep,
their Pixar they're sappy, so like I'm right at home
with that. But and the little gal is from Minnesota

(19:14):
in the story, so we love her. But yeah, I
really really liked this movie a ton. I thought it
was really great and it was that's why it's at
where it's at.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Maybe, Yeah, that could have definitely been in my top
ten for sure. It was. I went and brought the
kids to that, and they got a little freaked out.
Charlie especially got a little freaks out. Yeah, there's one
from the trailers, you know that anxiety becomes one of
the emotions that this little girl starts feeling, and that's
voiced by Maya Hawk, who did a great job. But like,

(19:49):
there's some scenes that got pretty intense, and I thought
it was kind of brilliant how they played.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
That out yeah and loved it.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, so I totally get it.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah. Yeah, And I will say like the and this
isn't because they're like great. But I felt really strongly
about my top four and then I was kind of like, man,
these can really be mixed around more after that.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
So totally yep. For sure, yep, but yeah, I'm intriguing.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
You didn't even have it in your top ten, so.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I didn't have it in my top ten.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
But I mean it's definitely my honorable mention.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Uh. My number five was a movie that I kind
of just like on a whim, decided to go to
the theater. Had seen a couple of things where I
was like, I'll try it, and I loved it. It
was the Guy Ritchie film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
See and this that's funny because this this one didn't
make it made my honorable mentions as well. But I
really liked this movie. I thought long and hard about
putting it in there. For sure.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, it just kind of it was under the radar
for me, and so many of the times when I
don't really have any expectations. If it's good, it's gonna
I'm going to really enjoy it, agreed, And so yeah,
this was guy Richie. It starred Henry Cavell Alan Richson,
who we loved from the Reacher series. And I actually
just saw today that there was a trailer for the

(21:10):
third season of that, which I'm excited.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
If there's an even bigger son.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Of a bitch there, Yeah, which is crazy. He's so big.
And then there was iz A Gonzalez, who was pretty
wonderful in that movie. Agreed, But this was like a
real thing that happened in history. I thought this was

(21:37):
just kind of a fun like maybe like historical fiction,
but this was really a mission that happened during World
War Two and like will or something.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Where it's like right took liberties apparently.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Not well, but it wasn't completely made and it was
wonderful and it was it was funny, and there was
a lot of action, and there was suspense and it
had kind of had all the things. Yeah, I was
really surprised by it, and I loved it. I'm like

(22:11):
a big guy Ritchie fan. He's wonderful and he's been
doing so many different things, like yeah, you know, all
over the place.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
That's really fun because it gets kind of like heisty
too in moments. Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I will say I
almost put it in my top ten for I was like,
which of these movies would I want to see again?
And if that's what it was, this definitely would have
been in there, right, Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love
that pic. I'm glad you got to bring that up.

(22:40):
That's fun.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, that's fun. My number six. I'm not sure if
you've seen this. Oh we're still snaking.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Right, yeah, yeah, I just I got lost.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I'm not sure if you've seen this movie. I think
I brought it up, but it's called Thelma. Have you
seen Thelma?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
I haven't. I still to watch that. Okay, you do need.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
To watch it. You're gonna love it. So Thelma. It
was written and directed by a person named Josh Margolan
and it starred June Squibb, who is Thelma. She is
definitely the main character. It had Fred Heckinger, who I
was not familiar with but had just seen him in
Gladiator two as one of the emperors.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
That's right, yeah, okay, And it was the weirdest.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
It was like, I think I saw those movies very
close to each other, so seeing him as this like
very different Barley, I would guess very different. He's like
this sweet, you know grandson in this movie.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
While he's like this syphilitic psycho exactly.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yes, so he had some serious range in twenty twenty four,
but it was so much fun. Then you get to
see Richard Rowntree, who if people don't know that name,
he was Shaft, but he is much older now. Parker
Posey's in it. It's it's a really wonderful movie. And

(24:06):
the main thing is that it's this older female, Thelma.
She's ninety three years old. She gets scammed by somebody
on the phone. Oh sure, and she wants to get
her money back. That is what it is, like a story,

(24:28):
it's kind of yeah. So I don't want to give
too much of away because it was wonderful. It really
was wonderful. It's you leave feeling. Yeah, it's it's a
really fun movie. I don't want to give anything away.
But look it up. It's Thelma. I'm not sure if
it's streaming yet. I saw it on a plane.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
I think it is, but I don't know where.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'll look it up while you while you look up yours. Yeah, yeah,
what was your number six film?

Speaker 3 (24:55):
My number six was also. I mean, honestly, it's kind
of funny. This is also one that kind of flew
under the radar for me, and I just watched it
by chance, I think, on Amazon Prime. But don't hold
me to that. But okay, I watched the movie called
fly Me to the Moon rub which I think you've seen. No,

(25:16):
I think that's an Apple movie. Apple, That's what it was. Sorry, Yes,
that's an Apple movie. Yes.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
And while we're talking about streaming, it does look like
Thelma is on Hulu Hulu.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Okay, great, yeah, wonderful, But yeah, fly Me to the
Moon a really interesting movie. It is I still don't
really know like what we're taking or whatever, but it's
it's at least based around the actual time when we
were launching the Space Shuttle to the Moon, and it's

(25:46):
all about a NASA person who's trying to help make
this happen. And then that's Channing Tatum, and then Scarlett
Johansson gets brought in as sort of a pr person
to try and get people excited about this. And then
also this other plot thing comes out where they're trying
to in case this doesn't work, we need to show

(26:08):
that it did work, and film something similar to it.
So it's it's a really fun juxtaposition of both like
this real thing that happened and then you know, or
in my opinion, I don't know what we do. Who
knows what's true anymore, but and then also this other
thing that was happening at the same time. Woody Harrelson's
in it, and he's wonderful in this, and it's just

(26:31):
it's a really fun juxtavision of like NASA hard science people,
like nerdy engineers, and then like showbiz people come in
and you know, things like that. I loved this movie
a ton. I thought it had a lot of like
heart to it. The chemistry between those two was really fun.
I thought, yeah it was. And they're both just so
lovable anyway, like Channing Tatum's great, Carlo Johansson's wonderful, you know.

(26:55):
So I had a great time in that movie that
Jim rash was so fat, so so so good good call,
good call, Yeah, because he's so great, and like Ray
Ramono's in it and he's being super like curmudgeonly and fun.
Anna Garcia, who I'd never seen before, is in it,
and she's really great as like Scarlett's best friend kind

(27:16):
of assistant person or whatever.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
I just thought she was really funny and they had
lots of great jokes. So it's a you know, it's
a period piece, you know, back in the in the
sixties and all that stuff. It's really fun. I liked
it a lot. I think it's worth checking out. And yeah,
so made number six on my list. Nice, Yeah that
was fun, did you It's not on your list, it's
not on my top ten. It's definitely honorable mention, though.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
I I did enjoy allow movie, right, yeah, yeah, which is.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Interesting because both of our six then were movies each
of us saw and then told the other about. So
maybe the expectation is what kept it from like popping
up there or something. But yeah, sure, really fun movies.
So that's cool. What was your number seven? Then number seven?
And you'll have to tell me if this counts or not,
because it's a Netflix I would I think it's a film,

(28:07):
so I think it would count. This is one you
told me to see. Actually, Will and Harper number seven,
so you did it too. Great. Okay, this movie you've
you've probably heard us talk about. If you've heard us,
if you listen to any of the past episodes or anything.
But this is a story of Harper Steele and Will Ferrell.

(28:27):
Harper has transitioned into a woman, and they used to
work together on SNL. Harper was a writer. I think,
I think maybe I was going to say writer, but
I wasn't sure. And obviously Will was heavily featured on SNL.
And it's just a story of them kind of going
cross country and navigating their friendship through this, you know,

(28:49):
through this transition in both their lives as they're getting older,
as well as finding, you know, new identities and or
revealing old identities that have been there for a long time,
just man vested in a different way. And I like
this movie was beautiful. It was really raw. It was lovely,
super funny and silly at points and also just like

(29:09):
gorgeous and felt really I don't know, just true, not
like put on, you know, and really thoughtful. So I
loved it. I thought it was wonderful.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, I had all those those same feelings as it's
my number seven as well. I love it. Yeah, And
I already went in knowing that I love Will Ferrell,
but now I love him even more. Agree he was yeah,
pretty vulnerable, vulnerable in some spots and just really trying

(29:43):
to help out his friend and and just trying to
understand his friend going through this big change. So I
thought it was really really well done. It looks like
it was directed by Josh Greenbaum, and thought he did
really a great job. And yeah, it hit me even harder.

(30:07):
I was very sick when I watched it. I forgot
it was a little emotional. Yeah, it was the first
thing I watched during my little COVID strip throat time,
and I was sobbing in a few spots. But yeah, no,

(30:28):
I highly recommend, And yeah, that was a straight to
Netflix and go check it out.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
And I feel like it's gonna be great for people
that have friends going through similar transitions, because like it's
they talk about a lot of stuff like I don't,
and a lot of it is just like just talk
about it. It's fine, we'll figure it out, you know,
like whatever. Yeah, I thought it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I love that, agreed. I went to another straight to
streaming movie for my number eight, a film called hit Man.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Oh yeah, I like this movie. This was on my
honorable mention.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Nice hit Man written and directed by Richard link Later,
which I didn't know at the time either. Glenn Powell
also helped write it. It sounds like, uh, the lovely
Adria Rhona is in it, and she was wonderful in this.

(31:25):
Glenn Powell gets to just really show off in this movie.
You could tell he was a writer of it. Be like, what,
I'm gonna make myself look.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Awesome in this movie?

Speaker 2 (31:36):
All the great things he gets to be, all these
different characters. The thing is, he's a he's a hit man,
and he gets to play all these different.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Roles as being a hit man.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
And he was so good. I knew I liked him
as the kind of like, you know, cocky.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Brash, like exactly like I knew he.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Had that down from like Maverick and everything else I've
seen him in really, but he got to really show
off some range in this and it was It was fun.
It had some kind of twists and turns throughout this movie. Yeah,
it kind of. This was another one that caught me
by surprise and I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Love that nice, very cool.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
What was your number eight?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Number eight? That's right, that's where we're at. I went
with one. Now, this is sort of an oscary type movie,
Okay that I enjoyed. It's not like my favorite movie
of all time by any means, but I really liked it.
And this is a movie called Anora. Yes, really funny,
really funny movie, which is interesting to think about because

(32:56):
it's not like a super funny premise. But so basically
it's a story of Onora, who is a young escort
from Brooklyn and she meets and then marries a son
of a Russian oligarch and chaos ensues from there. So
like there's some some serious stuff going on. Uh. The
lead actress Mikey Mikey mad amazing. She's really really good

(33:23):
in this, agreed, and she gets to do a bunch
a bunch of stuff in it. Like, she's really funny
at arts, although mostly as like the straight person I
guess or something. But it's realized my hand had been raised.
I didn't mean to raise it up. I'm sorry. But
and then she's you know, dealing with some real things

(33:44):
about you know, sort of being in that sex worker
slash sex worker Jason Field and dealing with just things
that are happening. I really like this movie. It was
it was a touch maybe too long for me, but
it was really well done and it's getting a lot
of buzz oscar wise, for sure. Yeah, it's really great.
I encourage people to see it if you are squeamish

(34:06):
about like violence and stuff, though this might not be
for you, or sex stuff or sex stuff, for sure,
you're right, maybe more importantly sex stuff like this probably
isn't it for you, But if you're intrigued, it was
a good time and I laughed. It's one of the
harder times. I laughed in the theater various points of
this movie, which is weird. But man, we're I don't

(34:28):
know if it was just the perfect night or what
was happening, but we're in a grand old time and
we had a really fun theater experience, so it sticks
with nice.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah. Yeah, mine was not. I I went kind of
in the middle of the day and it was just
like some old people around me.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Weird.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
It was more uncomfortable than anything. But I agreed that
that movie was really well done. I think we're going
to see maybe that director up for sure. For I
would think play. Yeah, really some amazing stuff. And Mikey Madison,
I mean, I would be shocked if she isn't nominated

(35:08):
for an award.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
She was in credible. Absolutely agree with all that. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm with you so nice. So is it to you
for your ninth.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Then no, I think it's your night my ninth got
I'm good at this.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
I went. This is a straight to streaming movie. As
far as I know, this one was on Prime Video
and I don't think it's on anyone's list because I
don't know if anyone else watched it. Maybe you did, Okay,
I watched the movie Snackshack. Did you ever see Snackshack?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
I haven't, but honestly, I have seen it on people's
lists as one of the funniest movies of the Year's.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Really really a great time this is. It's a period
piece of They're in Nebraska City in nineteen ninety one.
These two best friends who are like at the end
of high school or just out of high school ish,
I think they're still in high school. But they get
a chance to run the swimming pool snackshack that's in
their town. And it's these two brash young kids that

(36:06):
are best friends, wheeling and dealing. They start making some money.
It's it's really fun. It's super funny. It gets into
like some relationships stuff. Then and drama with that. And
I had a great time with this movie. I really
really liked it a lot.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Is there anybody in it that you recognized?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
You know?

Speaker 3 (36:22):
The one kid I found out later I had seen
him before, Gabriel LaBelle. Mmm, I'm pulling him up quick,
because there was oh he was Sammy in the Fableman's
So he was the teenage in the Fablemans. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But honestly, was like the only one I had really
seen in anything other than Jilly. Gillian Vigman is in it,

(36:47):
who you'd recognize if you saw a picture of her.
But yeah, otherwise, it's a lot of like high school
kids and stuff. So and I think it was kind
of uh maybe not like, you know, like a low
budget film, but close, you know what I mean, like
someone's pet project kind of deal. But it's hysterical. It's
really really funny, and there's if you like a coming

(37:08):
of age like teen comedy sort of thing that has
some heart to it. I think you'll really enjoy it.
I liked it a lot, had a good time. Cool. Yeah,
nice caught me by surprise. So now we're to your
number nine.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Mine number nine. Mine was also straight to Prime. Oh
and this was a movie called My Old Ass.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Oh yeah, this made my honorable mention. I liked this
movie too. I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
I Kelsey and I watched this and for whatever reason,
you know, we had just put on Prime and it
was like the day that it came out. And I
love Aubrey Plaza so much. And I don't know if
you've heard, but.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
She's going through some stuff right now, yucky.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Her husband is no longer with us yep. And so yeah,
that's a big bummer. But this movie was pretty great.
I was kind of expecting to have she was going
to have like a bigger role in this movie. I
thought she would be the lead, and she definitely is not.
It is this younger actress named Mazie Stella is the lead,

(38:15):
and she was wonderful.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Loved her yep.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
But again, kind of a coming of age story, but
they added a little bit of like supernatural being able
to talk to her future self, which I thought was
really entertaining. I thought it was really well done. Yes,
and yeah, I just it made me feel a lot

(38:43):
of feelings. Again, was not expecting anything from this movie
and then loved it. You know, really beautiful scenery, it
was shot like an hour outside of Toronto, but like
on this beautiful lake that made me want to go there,
go to there, And yeah, I really really loved that movie.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, nice, I liked it a lot too. That's cool.
I'm glad it's on your list. That's great.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
And then my number ten, I probably could have. I
could have had either a Nora here, but I decided
to go with A Complete Unknown. Fun Okay, it's one
of the new oscary movies that I have actually seen.

(39:32):
Shall So Shallow May my number one and my number ten?
What a lovely book. That was kind of why I
did it. But great year for Shallow May. That dude
is so incredibly talented. This was another. So Complete Unknown
is the biopick of Bob Dylan's we didn't say that, Ye,

(39:54):
we didn't say that. It was written and directed by
James Mangold, who can do a biopick Walk the Line.
One of the better ones out there. What I loved
about A Complete Unknown, aside from the performances that were
absolutely incredible, Timothy Shallomy, Edward Norton, l Fanning, Monica Barbero

(40:16):
plays Joan Bias. They the thing that I loved that
James Mangold did was that it didn't like try and
get all of Bob Dylan's life in this movie. He
pretty much was during like a two year period, and
so it didn't feel like it was five hours long.

(40:38):
Another thing that I loved that they did was a
lot like Wicked. They performed the whole thing, so everybody
is singing these things.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
That just makes such of their live take. I don't
know if it makes a difference for other people, but
for like you and me, it really seems an other
musician people that I know, I feel like, yeah, it
makes a huge difference to us.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Nothing else, it for sure does. And what he was
able to do, like Bob Dylan is kind of a
cartoony kind of voice, and how he was able to
do it and not go over the top with it.
I'm just so incredibly impressed with how Timothy shell May

(41:20):
did that role.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
That's cool. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
It's it's definitely worth checking out, for sure.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Love it nice.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
My Last One.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
My Last One is also a movie. I guess my
book end is It's a movie that is both like
doesn't take itself too seriously and does although it's more
on the serious side I went with the horror film
The Substance. Oh you did, I did see.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
I didn't know if you liked this movie or not
when you told me, I really the third act loses me.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, but the first like two
thirds of this movie are wonderful and to me, More
is fantastic in it. Margaret Qualley is great in it
as well. Sort of the the like tagline for it
is Demi Moore is a fading like she's just getting
older as a celebrity and as we know, like the

(42:14):
way we treat women, you know, as the age is
not always great, especially in like you know, show business
and stuff. So she's like kind of losing her identity
in a way. She gets this weird it's such a
cool premise. She gets this weird offer to take this
thing that is the Substance, And what it does is

(42:35):
it allows a younger version of herself to exist, that
she is still the driver of the younger version of herself.
But they can only it's like every other week they
have to they one has to be driving every other
week kind of deal.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
I did not know that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
That's really cool, and you learned that super early on,
but it goes crazy from there. This is super gory,
it's it's yucky, So if you don't like that, stay away.
I had a great time. Like I said, I thought
the first part was so well acted and had so
much to say. They did kind of lose me at
the end, but it still had its you know, it's

(43:12):
I get what they were going for and it had
its moments. But I think it's absolutely worth seeing, especially
if you're okay with like body horrory kind of things,
and it's really funny in points like that, very dark humor.
But I thought it was really impressively done. It's not
a movie I probably will watch again, but but I

(43:34):
I think the performances were so good, like how can
you not really you know?

Speaker 2 (43:38):
So yeah, I saw Demi Moore just one, yeah, supporting actress.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
I'm sure she'll get nominated for an Oscar too, for
a Golden Globe.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Yeah, I don't know when of the Oscar noms must
come out soon ish, right, I.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Think so, you know, it's usually a March thing when
it actually happens, but yeah, I would think I would
think probably by the end of this month.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Time.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Yeah cool, So yeah, that's why I picked for my
number ten.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Very nice you want to do so, I'm excited to
see that. I would love to. Yeah, and Noor definitely
topped my honorable mentions for all you said. Fly Me
to the Moon. I also had that up there. Another
one that I really loved, although it's kind of a
slow burn if people aren't into that, I get it.

(44:25):
But I loved the movie Knox Goes Away.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Did you end up seeing that this was the Keaton one?

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, Michael, No.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
I haven't seen that yet. It's been on the list.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah, it is really well done. He actually directed it,
so I had heard him on a podcast talking about
it and I was intrigued by it. And it's really
really good, nice and it was straight to max, I think,
so that is definitely worth checking out. Another one that

(44:56):
you had recommended that I ended up seeing a plane
and I loved it was Wicked Little Letters.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Oh yes, I love that movie, so fun, so good.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Loivia Coleman. Other folks that I'm blanking on right now,
that wonderful woman from Oh Gosh, why am I totally
blanking on her? Buckley Jesse Buckley, Jesse Buckley, Jesse Buckley.
She was in Fargo.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
She's been in I mean Fargo, is what I was
going to say. Yeah, yeah, she was kind of like
nurse nurse Ratchet or whatever sort of ink like, she
was that kind of character anyway.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Right, So those are a few of mine. I still
have more, but what what we're kind of your top
honorable man.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
A great movie featuring ssh Ronan The Outrun. Really deeply
loved that movie. That was just one I randomly streamed
and really liked it. So check that out. It's about
kind of like substance, abucy stuff and coming of age.
I really like a coming of age movie.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
I'm finding a bous Oh I've definitely knew that about you.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
Yeah, I love it. And then a coming of age
film about a dad reconnecting with his daughter axel f
great film. Really loved it.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
We definitely did a podcast on this episode.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
I understood it shouldn't be in my top ten, but
I did really have a nice time with that film.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Yeah, yeah, I liked it, dude. And I heard that
the one guy, not Judge Reinhold, but the other guy
passed away this year.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Really wow, they got that in under the Wire.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Then, well, I know I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
It's good. I guess that they got it in.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Man, I mean he must have been pretty old, right,
I think we even talked about that in the episode.
But yeah, I just liked I liked that movie. I
thought was fun. I had all the ones that you said,
but another one I want to say is, uh wait,
not not Jack Johnson. That's the singer Jake Johnson. Jake
Johnson is the actor, right, Yeah. Yeah, his movie Self

(47:01):
Reliance that came out last year. I liked that movie.
It was early, it was early in the year.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
I did watch that as well.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Fun. It was weird and premise like he got to
win a bunch of money if he could survive a
year or something like that or some period of always
looking over his shoulder, and so he like found out
that these people won't kill him if he's not alone.
So it's like a lot of weird stuff with that.
And it's him and Anna Kendrick and then a bunch

(47:32):
of other people. It's a fun movie. I liked it.
That was a yeah, very original, really weird, fun original
vibe like but but a good time. I really enjoyed it.
So I thought that might have been last year. I
did I forgot I looked it up anyway. Oh, I'm
pretty sure this year because I was surprised to him
with you. I was like, oh wow, okay, and then

(47:54):
another one and the last one I'll say for right now.
The Mean Girl's Musical also came out this last year,
and I liked that. Okay, I thought it was fun.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
I still haven't seen that.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
I got to see that, yeah, but yeah, it was
just fun. But it came out in like February or something,
so it feels like a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Yeah. A couple other ones. Did you see Saturday Night
the SNL movie that No? I want to That one's
really well done. It could have made my top ten.
It was a little It's super fast paced and like
kind of it's like before the show. Yes, it's not

(48:33):
uncut Gem's anxiety, but like more on that.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Like nervous, like is this gonna Yeah? I can see that.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
Yeah, So that one kind of stressed me out a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
It's really well done.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Though I had mentioned Monkey Man to you as well.
That one is really impressive.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Sorry, I was thinking about the other one that's coming out,
the like Robbie Williams one where like AIM think.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
It's called a Better Better Man that one. Yeah, yeah, sorry,
this was the dev ptel one that he really want
to see. He did everything. It's it's really intense. You're
gonna like it, for sure. It's just it's it's very violent.
If you don't like, stay away, stay away from that.
And I was surprised by Trap the Night.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
I still haven't that one either. I would like to.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
That one was worth checking out. And we had such
a good fun theater experience going to Twisters, just have fun.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
I wanted to action. I'm glad you said that because
I was going to put it on my honorable mentions
for sure, like just a good time, great, great, Yeah,
I got a great magnet out of it.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yeah. I will say one that I was extremely excited
for and then was just kind of like, I was, okay,
it wasn't like super Bad or anything, but the Alex
Garland film Civil War. I had really high expectation going
into it, and it was still good, but it just

(50:05):
didn't hit that.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Yeah, those lofty like that movie they were going to
go a different way and what they did too and
interesting it was, but I really was like I kind
of wanted to see that, you know, that.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
It took me out of it a little bit too.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Yeah, just going back quick, was it Twisters with the
poster where I.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Wasn't a poster, It was a magnet, a big mag
Is that what I slipped on?

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Was the magnet? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (50:31):
The magnet? Because I have it on my my friends,
my freezer for sure. Yeah that poor guy. Yeah, just
kick the dude in front of him so hard. Yeah
that was really funny.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
But yeah, nice. Well should we move forward and talk.
Let's do get to mean? Was mean the next thing?

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Let's get mean. We're going to be mean.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Our least favorite movie of twenty twenty four? Would you
like to go first? Or would you like me to
go first? On this one?

Speaker 2 (51:02):
I can go first. I have a definite least favorite film.
Another one where I listened to a podcast and I
heard a lot about this film and I thought it
sounded very interesting. It was the Jerry Seinfeld film Unfrosted.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Yeah, I haven't seen it because you were like, what
just happened? Dude?

Speaker 2 (51:25):
So he was on SmartLess and he's talking about it,
and he was like, yeah, you know, the pop tart
was Actually it was pretty interesting how it was invented
and you know it was a war between Kellogg's and
General Mills and all this stuff, and I was like,
this sounds like it could be kind of great, and
it is not. It So many cameos, so many amazing

(51:51):
people are in this film, but they just the tone
is all over the place. It's like maybe they were
thinking about doing something real and then was like, you know,
it would be funny. Let's let's make a mutant pop
tart that is CGI and starts jumping. Let's have all

(52:14):
of the Cereal mascots revolt and have like a big
strike and they almost like do like a January sixth
kind of thing. Like it is so all over the place.
Not good. It's just not good. It was a bummer.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
I'm glad you were the canary in the mine on
that one because I probably would have watched it.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Well again, maybe maybe you would like it. It was
another one where I put kind of high expectations on
it and then it.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Went maybe maybe so for sure. Oh that's funny. Yeah
that's funny.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
But if you think that's something you would like, it
is on Netflix. That was another straight to check it out,
check it out.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yeah. I had a hard time with this, but I
did make a decision. This is what I saw in
the theater, very high expectations because it was a film
by Francis Ford Coppola. It was a movie that was
supposed to be like his magnum opus, and it just sucks,
Like I don't his magnum right, his magnum poopis. But yeah,

(53:21):
it's a movie called Megalopolis, Megaplopolis. Okay for Floppolis that
probably would have been better.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Flop flop would have been better. We got it all, dude,
You know that that was someone did that right, Like,
somebody did that for sure.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Uh. It is written as an epic.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Uh, it is long.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
They got that going for him. This is just a
movie that I didn't get. It didn't make like. There
was some fun parts in it. Aubrey Plaza is actually
really funny in it and really great, but like, plot wise,
it doesn't make sense. There's a lot of incongruency with
what's happening, kind of like what you said, just like
I wasn't. I didn't get what they were going for.

(54:03):
The tone was weird. It felt like they were kind
of trying to do like a Neuveaux Roman thing with
like people gorging themselves and then vomiting it out so
they could eat more and stuff like that and excess.
But I don't know, it was just dumb.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
I didn't like it.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
It was a bummer. But so many good people in it,
Adam Drivers in it, I mean, so many crazy good people.
But man, that movie sucked and such. I'm not alone
in thinking next, I don't think it did very well. Yeah,
I don't think it did either. Yeah, so that's my
least favorite honorable mention from me to Madam.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Webb, which was which I didn't even seem terrible.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
I mean just didn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Again, I mean the actors were in it. Yeah, felt
that way.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
Yeah, everyone was, like I thought, I signed up for
a Marvel movie. This sucks. Yeah. So, yeah, did you
have honorable mentions or should we go ahead.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
To I didn't really there was another movie, so yeah,
I guess I had one that I did not like,
but I saw that a lot of people did like.
It was an a twenty four film. Again, this was
during my little COVID fever dream watching stuff. But a
movie called I Saw the TV Glow.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
It did nothing for me talking about that.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Yeah, okay, it just yeah, it was over my head.
It made me feel weird. I did not like it,
but a lot of people critically really did love it.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Those A twenty fours are like if if they're not
for they're not for you, which is great in a
way because I want them to make these weird movies.
But sometimes I'm like, oh, I missed on this one. Yeah, yeah, for.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Sure, I wasn't into it, but I get to unfrosted definitely.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
Nice for sure. Nice. Yeah. Well let's go back into
good is it best acting performance?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Acting performance? What was your favorite acting performance?

Speaker 3 (55:53):
This was hard, rob, but I kept coming back to this.
I think it's just Cynthia Revo and and I don't
like I kind of just kept being like, why am
I trying to talk myself out of that? Because she's
wonderful for all the reasons you said, Like, she plays
such a wide range of a character that is both
exceedingly strong and also very vulnerable at various points. She

(56:17):
obviously sings her ass off. I mean we all know that,
but yeah, I just think she's so great and the
choices she made seems so wonderful. And you know this,
this plot point of her having like green skin could
so like it so easily could go into like a
like race, and it obviously is about that, but it's
not about you know, I don't know, like she tows

(56:39):
the line so wonderfully about you know, not placing extra
things on top of this, but just letting this character
live and breathe. And I just think that's so great.
I just loved it. Yeah, I thought she was wonderful.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
She was who'd you have? She's She's definitely up there
for me. I decided to put Shallome up there for
a complete unknown nice with Cynthia Reva right below it.
But yeah, for all the things I said, just he
totally encapsulated Bob Dylan and how he was able to
sing that way and yeah, just led that movie and

(57:16):
he's just he is everywhere and everything that he's doing
is so it just.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Seems like such a nice dude, like very cool, pretty chill. Yeah,
I love that. This was quite the year of ladies
for me because my runners up or scho Sharonan in
the Outrun because she was amazing in it. Yeah, the
substance to me more Mikey Madison I thought.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Was fretty Madison for me.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Yeah, absolutely, And Jody Comer in a movie that we
didn't say yet, but The Bike Riders, which was a
pretty good movie. I liked it.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
I didn't do anything for me, but she was great
in it. I thought she was great. That Chicago actually
was the best crazy of that movie for sure, agreed,
And I mean, everybody was good in it. It was
just another kind of it's like a biopic, and I
was kind of bored.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
I get that it just didn't like, you know, enough
places or something.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
But yeah, but all you know, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Herb,
they all were great.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Nice. What's next? We got?

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Best movie not released in twenty twenty four that you saw?
I put down a few, the one that just kind
of blew me away, because at the beginning of the
year I was going through all the A twenty four
films and then I kind of settled down on that.
But one of the best ones that I saw was

(58:41):
a movie called Remember that came out in twenty fifteen,
and this was the Christopher Plumber film where he is
an Auschwitz survivor and he is going through dementia and
he like teams up with another elderly Auschwitz survivor played

(59:03):
by played by Martin Landau. And they like write this
letter that he's always looking at and he's gonna go
out and face the person that was responsible for the
death of his family at the camp, the internment camp. Wow,

(59:24):
so so intense, dude, this movie was so intense.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
Yeah, it sounds like it.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
But incredible, Like Christopher Plumber was so nuts. I just
can't believe I never heard of this movie.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
Yeah, I haven't the name of it against.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
It remember, remember, Yeah, I haven't heard of that. And
a pretty in the A twenty four film. That's why
we didn't hear about it. Wow, that was the coolest one.
And I had some honorable mentions, but you what was
your number one?

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Well, now I'm concerned because this movie already came up
once and I couldn't remember. I'm now concerned that you
had it on your honorable mentions. But I just looked
it up and it does say twenty twenty three Wicked
Little Letters. Did you say that for an honorable mention
or did it just come up?

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Oh no, it came out said it for an honorable mention?

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
I did say it for an honorable mention when was Wicked?

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Yeah, I don't know. This is twenty twenty three, but
I also thought it was twenty twenty four for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
So so it says twenty twenty three on IMDb. But
the reins that was like the UK deal. The release
date was March twenty ninth, twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Tricky. Okay, well I should have caught that when you
said it. So that movie was fun. Just everybody be cool.
I'm going to talk about now. Well, then, what was
it I had to pick for my honorable mentions?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Here?

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
Give me one sec. You know this movie caught me
by surprise. Let me pull it up from twenty sixteen.
I had to look up the date. This was another
Richard Linklater movie, and it was I think I watched
it on Prime. It was Everybody Wants Some And I

(01:01:08):
don't know if you ever saw that or not. I
can't remember I did.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Yeah, we talked about it. I remember you talking about
it before an episode.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Another Glenn Powell movie, It's All About These It's an
an eighties movie about a college baseball team and sort
of like the sort of like team house slash frat
and all that entails within college and a freshman moving
in and stuff. And it was a really fun movie.
I thought it was really great. He held onto that.

(01:01:34):
You know that like Buddy, you know, like comedy, you know,
Shenanigan's kind of vibe. And I really liked it. And
I had never even heard of it before I pressed play.
I feel like so I was like, all right, I'm
in let's do it, and I thought it was really fun.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
I liked it, it definitely was. My runner ups were
that rom com that I loved that came out last
year called.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Yeah that was good. I loved.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I like that movie too, and then kind of a
classic movie that I had never seen but finally got
around to seeing was Glen Glengary Glenn Rosse that came
out way back in ninety two and had all those
amazing actors in it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Finally, other runner up was Awakenings because you had said
like that movie so much, so I finally watched that.
That was really good. But yeah, nice, that was movie,
not twenty farr.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Well, do you want to play a game. Let's do it.
Let's let's do a last man Stanton. I had put
out on the social media. Yeah job, we'll see if
anybody replied. We got a few replies, right, let's check

I posted it. We got Johnny Depp.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
We never done Johnny Depp. Wow, weird.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):

Sigourney Weaver was on that one. Okay, then I have uh,
Clenn Eastwood, Nicholas Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Samuel L. Jackson, Christian Bale,

(01:03:32):

know we've done recently.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
I think we did Samuel L. Too.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
I don't know if we've done McConaughey, but I wouldn't
be surprised if we don't.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
Feel like I don't know that we ever did Johnny.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
Eastwood, Nicholas Cage, Johnny Depp could be interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
You mants just go for that. I don't know how
many I'll have, but that seems like it could.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Yeah, it could be. Let's do Johnny Depp. Let's So
this is where we're just going to keep on saying
as many Johnny Depp movies as we can, and whoever
can't do it lose us.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
I'll go first. You go, frankco Strong Strong I would
have maybe held on it. That's all right, we all
know who's winning. Anyway. If I let's do my only one, that's.

Okay, I'll do Alice through the Looking Glass.

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
Queen, Queen of Hearts. Yeah, you're right. Interesting, Okay, I'll
do parts of the Caribbean.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
Oh all the call is I think the is the
first one. But there's four, right, so we can just
say there's so many. I don't know you can have
all because I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
I'm gonna keep saying that this will be a good
will be a good evening out, actually probably for us.
I'll do Edward Scissorhands. Okay. Then I will do Pirates
of the Caribbean, the Curse of the Black Pearl.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Okay, nice. I will do Charlie in the Chocolate Factory.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Pirates of the Caribbean, dead Man's Chest. I think, Okay,

I don't like that you're still gonna be I'm gonna
do the what's it called. I'm gonna do Black Masks.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Oh that's a good one. Nice, good call. Yeah. Uh

that's something like that's pretty close. Yeah, and I'll stop
because I think that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Now I'm gonna go with Finding Neverland.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
Good one. That crying scene, my god. Yeah, well there's
probably a lot, but uh, fantastic beasts and where to
find them? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
Sure? Yeah, and then I'll do, uh, Crimes of Grindlewald?

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
But was he in that one? Because remember they switch.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Isn't he Grindlewald?

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Yeah, but isn't he?

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
But they switched it. That's why I don't remember if
they switched actors for the second one. Let's give it
to you. That's that's great. Well, let's look at Crimes
of grindle Okay, I think they might have had his
face still and then we're like a and he switched. Uh,
I'll say blow blow a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
That movie? Did not know?

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
That movie was pretty great. Actually, I should watch it again.
It was pretty great. Hmmm.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
I have a couple of deep cuts that I wanted
to hold on to, but I think I might have
to start going into those.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
Yeah, I don't have a lot left. I'm gonna be
honest with you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
He did the other Hunters top someone. I think it's
called the rum Diary.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
Or the Rum Diaries. I don't remember if it's plural
or one. I think it's I think it's just one. Yeah, okay,
that's a good one. What's eaton? Gilbert Grape? Good? Call
that movie? I did not think of that, you know,
I never saw that all the way. Oh really, I

(01:07:51):
really liked that movie.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Yeah, it was a long time ago. One that I
was holding onto. Uh was called Nick of Time? Oh wow?
Which was one that we had. I think we might
have had it on VHS.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Yeah, sure, Yeah, we liked that one a lot. My
family did. What's the Why can't I think of the
beginning of it? The Wonder Emporium one? He was in
something he's not in that?

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
I thought he was no done that before. Yeah, you
missed those. You mix those ones out of time and
I think he might have been in that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
One's whichever one is the one that Heath Ledger was
gonna be in?

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
And then the Doctor Parnassas one, the Heath Ledger on Well,
and it's like a long title. Yeah, okay, so it's
mister mcgream's Wonder Imporium. That's not the one. It's like
the Imaginarium of doctor Parnassis or something.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
Do I get that? Probably? Not sure? Okay, you're gonna win.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
I'm gonna do that cry Baby movie, which was so weird,
and I.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
Don't think I remember that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
It's the director with like the little mustache.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
It's a very like he has a very uh style.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Okay, I can't think of what his name is.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
Very specific style.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
It's like a Wes Anderson kind of thing or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Yes, but but it's really weak.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
Yeah. I do believe he was in Nightmare Before Christmas.
He's the voice of that Jack Scully. I think he is.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
I know that Danny. I don't think isn't that Danny Elfman?
Or is he just the singing voice?

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Oh boy? He might be right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
Uh, I don't think he's in that dude, well poop.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
Yeah, I think you're right. Why do I think he
was in that? He's in all those? Okay, well not
that one? Then uh I might be out then rob.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Was he in like Donny Braska or something. I feel
like he was in it, I said, don I said
that one. Okay, That's why I was like, I feel
like he was in a buddy cop movie.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Oh no, I might have just said, did you say it?
I don't know if I actually said Donnie Brasco because
I had put it on there and then I went
with Black Mass.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
I don't know if I said, and I think I mean,
I only know that because you bring it up. So yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna say that. I've never actually seen it, but
I thought he was in it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Yeah, that's a great movie that I feel like people
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
I need to see that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Think about that hole. It's him and al Pacino. Yeah,
the Secret or I think it's just called Secret Window
and that was a Stephen King novel. It is him
and Jountity.

Speaker 3 (01:10:54):
He was in Chacko La. I believe it was. Oh,
and that makes me think of don Juan DeMarco. Oh yeah,
good call.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Yeah crap that came out around the same time.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
And you said Edwards is her hands already? Right? I
did say that, gotcha? Then I think I might be
out he was like a mob bosson one? Did we
already say that one?

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
I've been trying to think of that. Well, that might
be Black Mass, but I'm thinking of a different one
where I thought he was a mob guy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
But I don't think it's bio mass that I'm thinking of,
but I also don't.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Know, well because he's Whitey Bulger in that. Oh yeah,
so maybe that is what I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
But I'm picturing one from further.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
I don't know what it is. I think i'm out.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
The other ones I had was the Tourist. It was
him and Angelina Joe Lee, and I'm pretty sure he
was wasn't his first thing Nightmare on Elm Street?

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
It was either that, Yeah, it was one of those.
You're totally right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
Hold on, I'm getting to him now. I'm trying to
go to the just movies here. Okay, what was his
very first deal?

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
A name? Marion Elmstreet? Good call nice? That's good. Yeah,
I remember hearing that. That's cool. Do you have others
you want to say? Should we start going through the list.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Let's just start going through it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
There's a bunch of new ones that I never have
heard of. Something called Johnny Puff, Gien de baois Minnie
Matta waiting for the Barbarians, City of Lies, the Professor
London Fields, Sherlock Gnomes Funny Murder on the Orient Express.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
I think you watched that, right, I definitely saw that
that's a yeah. Aside from Grendelwald the Crimes of Grindaval.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Yeah, Pirates, Fantastic Beasts, they do only have the first.
Oh no, they do have too, so you were.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Right, Nice, bunny, nice, What are you talking about? They have?

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
He was in both of the first two Fantastic Beasts films, remember,
because I was like the speeched actors. But was that
just the third?

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
I didn't remember Grendap did you?

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
And that was right too. I was through the looking Glass,
I think I said Alice in Wonderland. So that was wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
Yep, no, no, no, you were right, I said through
the looking Glass. Shoot, he was in the first one.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
Too, Mordecai. I never saw that, but I remember.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Hearing about it. Yep, tusk All the Wolf and into
the Woods.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Oh yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
I think you actually had that as a question recently.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
I did, maybe or something.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
Yep, Dark Shadows, oh twenty one Jump Street. I forgot
about that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
I thought about that, about.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
That rum diary, just the one diary. Yep, apparently, I'm
I'm now concerned I got all the names of the
Pirates movies wrong, because there seems to be too many
of them.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
The tourists Public Enemies was the one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
Yes that plays Okay, yeah, I bet that's the one.
We were both because I was thinking I was picturing
that poster too, even yeah, I know, I was.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Thinking of Gangster Squad and I was like, it wasn't nice.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Yeah, he did Corpse Bride, which is why I thought
they're similar. Ish the Libertine Happily ever After, Once upon
a time in Mexico. I remember that. I actually was
thinking Desperados, and I was like, that's not it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
From Hell. I saw that was like Jack the Ripper.
That was a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
Sleepy Hollow probably should have got that, should have had
that man who cried. I never heard of the astronaut's wife,
the ninth Gate Lothing. I almost said that, but I
thought I was thinking the wrong person.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
I started with fear.

Speaker 3 (01:15:04):
That's why I didn't say it. I was listening the
Brave cans Man, Nick of Time, dead Man, Don we
got don Wan DeMarco.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
That's nice, ed Edwood, we forgot about Edward and Benny
and June. I saw that there's that cry Baby movie.
I'm gonna look it up and see who that director was,
