I mean, I'm gonna work a little bit during the day,
but you know, nothing otherwise.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Got you.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, I don't even know what the Usually we try
to make something fun that we've never made before and
I don't even know what that's gonna be yet, So
something fun will happen. I'm sure for sure it will. Yeah,
how about you, what do you guess up to?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Done with the Christmas tour? Which is awesome so early
this year, I suppose.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
But nice to not have to travel like the day
before the day absolutely, yes, very very thankful that we
get this time. That's lovely.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
At home, we started a little earlier this year so
we could be done early, and uh, pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Cool that for all, y'all. That's great.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, but we're just going to do a bunch of
different little little get togethers with my folks and her
folks and her siblings and it's her grandma And yeah,
so are the.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Kids getting like excited yet or oh dude, they've been
excited since Halloween pretty much. It's like fourth of July
is over. It's Christmas time exactly. They love Christmas. That's fun.
That's so pretty good time. Well, very cool man. Love that.

(02:32):
Have you been seeing a movie?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
I have been seeing movies. On my flight home from tour,
I went to Netflix and I downloaded the recently released
Wake Up dead Man, A Knives Out Mystery.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Love that I'm.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Gonna switch mine because I wasn't going to talk about it,
but I just watched that too nice, so we might
as well talk about it together. We might as well.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I so love Daniel Craig as Ben wi Blanc. This
one is another stacked cast. Josh O'Connor, the guy i'd
make fun of his Prince Charles in.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
The Crown doesn't sound like that in this film, even
though no, that was his King Prince Charles King Charles impression. Yeah,
for sure, but he's the lead.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Glenn Close, Josh brolind Me Lacunis, Jeremy Renner, Carrie Washington,
Andrew Scott, Kaylee Spainey, Thomas Hayden Church, Jeffrey Wright, and
there's still more people you're gonna recognize.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
It's nuts.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
I would say that this one isn't as funny as
the first two I thought, but the mystery is really
well written and fun. I enjoyed it a bunch. I
hope Rian Johnson keeps making these. They're really entertaining, but yeah,
just not as fun. This one wasn't as fun as
the other two I thought so too, but.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Still a great watch. Yeah, a super enjoyable film experience.
Just not as like the other ones are like kind
of slapsticky at points, and this one has its moments
of that. But I totally agreed, like it's just a
tiny like a Scoch more serious. But man, I really
had a great time watching it. Josh Brolin was just

(04:22):
he just was knocking my socks off. It was so fun. Yeah,
he was. His stuff was fun. Yeah, he got to
be like the zanious, Like.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
His confessionals were ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yes, those are good, Yes, but it was really fun
and a lot of like folks are really digging this one,
so yeah, it was. It was fun. Man, what a
watch for sure? Did you just watch it when it
came on to Netflix or yeah, just like two days
ago or whatever it was? I will say too, I

(04:53):
thought they I thought Ryan Johnson went in his bag
a little bit more on the like the like movie
making parts of it, because like they do a lot
of stuff with sunlight coming through the church windows and
stuff like that that I think is really neat and
super effective. So yeah, and not that the other ones
weren't great, but I just felt like they they really

(05:15):
made this one moodier or something. It was fun. Sure,
I liked it. Yeah, I like that vibe.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
So it was a good vibe.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
It was cool, buddy, well, very viable. Yeah. Have you
been streaming things as well?

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yes, Netflix has just been killing it lately. I've been
all over Netflix. But I decided to watch the new
mini series about James Garfield's unlikely and short presidency.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
It was called Death by Lightning.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't know anything about this other than it existed.
I heard, Okay, what do you think. I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
My my dad, who knows more about American history than
a lot of history professors, for sure, thought that it
was a pretty accurate depiction of what happened. Maybe a
few dramatic turties, but overall pretty yeah, which I liked.
Michael Shannon plays James Garfield. Matthew mcphaden who we remember

(06:13):
from Succession, he plays Charles Gutteau, Betty Gilpin, Shay Wigham,
Bradley Whitford, and Nick Offerman plays Chester A. Arthur and
he's crazy fun so really good cast for sure. But yeah,
it was just kind of fun to learn about about

(06:36):
this kind of era. I didn't know much about it.
I knew he was had like the shortest presidency ever
but pretty fun story.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Right Harrison, William William Henry Harrison I think is his name,
William Howard Taft Now Harrison is the one.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
During right right, Yeah, it was two.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Weeks in or something. But yeah, I action brought that
up because I don't know stuff about stuff.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
It's cool, don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
But yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
It was fun to learn about that time, and some
really great acting performances from Michael Shannon. Betty Gilpin got
to uh kind of show off a little bit too.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
Betty Gilpen is do I she was in that show
Glow and she was also in yeah, yeah, yeah, that
one movie. I don't think I ended up watching it,
but it kind of looked like like they hunt people
like that old story.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I think it's called The Hunt based on her, Yeah,
based just on her IMDb. But yeah, yeah, I totally
know what you're talking about. Now. Oh yeah, she was
pretty great, Okay, cool.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I will say I didn't love Matthew mcfaden, but I
think he played it well then because that kind of
like the character. Yeah, yeah, totally, and so he was good.
But I just felt like I saw a lot of
his character from Succession in there. Sure, So yeah, a

(08:09):
little mixed on that, but it's worth checking out. It's
only four episodes, a little mini series.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, it was a good time. I love that's cool NICs. Yeah,
what have you been streaming? So I went to HBO
Max and I'm realizing this is now kind of a bummer.
It was right after Rob Reiner. We had learned that
he killed and died and all that good stuff. Not

(08:36):
good stuff. Yeah, it's just it's a terrible, terrible story.
But the one positive is I was like, well, I've
never seen this as spinal tap. I want to be
happy right now. Nice, that's a bummer. I should have
seen it by now. So I went and watched it,
and it is. It's just a joy man, it was.
It was really super super funny. A ton of those

(08:57):
jokes I've heard just being in bands on the road, right, yeah,
turn it to eleven, like a bunch of that stuff.
I was like, well, I didn't even know that was
from this and I've said that a number of times,
but just really that whole that whole crew of people,
like they're so funny, that's so funny. I don't know,
they're still doing stuff, they're they're kind of a troop

(09:18):
right of ST's kind of stick together. Yeah, and they're
all their stuff is still super funny. Man, Like, I
don't know, I just I really really liked it and
it was fun to see Rob Ironers in it, you
know a bit as well, which is really fun. Is
that one? Have you ever seen that one? I can't remember.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
I haven't seen it all the way through.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I've got some pieces of it.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, I don't think I've sat down and watched it
in succession.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
It's really funny, man, really funny. Yeah, good bus movie
if that ever comes up. Sure, But yeah, I just
I really had a great time and it was just,
you know, kind of a bittersweet affair obviously with everything.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Going on, but so horrible.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah. I probably shouldn't have even brought it up, but
you know, here, okay, it's what I did.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
That guy get gave us some of my favorite movies.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Of all time. That like the seven film run that
he had or whatever that was all over like social
media and stuff. It's just like banger after banger, and
he did so many different kinds of movies like, yeah,
he was all over the place three and you know,
it's just a few good men, like a stage play
that ended up. Yeah, and it was just wonderful and

(10:22):
he just seemed like a really great dude and all
the things. So yeah, all the things kind of a bummer,
but also thus his life sometimes you know, what are
you gonna do? Yeah, so this is spinal tap that
it is on HBO Max. If anybody wants to go
check it out. Yeah, I got I do that this break. Yeah,
it's pretty fun. So if you're looking for something and

(10:42):
it's short and sweet too, which is kind of nice
to sometimes. Yeah, well that was all of it you
want to do. If you plug, he runs, Yes, I do. Nice.
You guys can just as always on the old Twitter
machine where we're at Aven Endorsement with a Z. You

Great topic, Buddy, I'm glad you thought of that one.
That's Sanek you. I was like, I have no good
ideas for this one, so.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
I was kind of struggling because there's so many different
like musicals or performances.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Or putting on a show.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I feel like we've done so many of those, you know, yeah,
for sure, but this will be super fun. And I
have some bangers on this list, so banger, I'm excited
and probably forgot some, so that'll be a great for sure.

Speaker 4 (12:14):

five Boom, which will be fun. Yeah, trying to get

(12:38):
you know, this year and talk about it. But yeah,
it'll be super fun, So come on back for that.
But we're here today to talk about a lot of
people's favorite film of all time maybe or at least
favorite Christmas film for sure. I know Mom sure likes me, Mom. Yeah,

(12:59):
we're here to talk a little white Christmas for y'all.
From boy it's old. I can't remember fifty forty four,
nineteen hundred and fifty four. Uh, And you know Christmas

Let's keep it up for Kelsie. What's up, kills? Hi? Hi,

(13:23):
thanks for coming back, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
It's been a while since we've had you on here.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yes, was it last Christmas?

Speaker 4 (13:33):
When did it happen last I remember, I don't even know.
It's been so long.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
I don't even think it was last year. I think
it's been years.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yes, it's been seven years, but it's been a while.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
You're right, I can't.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Remember what the last thing was hatting me on.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, my brain is good. I don't remember either. I
remember when Harry met Sally.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
We were just talking about Rob Reiner and how sad
that was. But I remember when Harry met Sally we
did that.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
That one was really fun.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
The best. I will be rewatching that this holiday season.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Great New Year's movie.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Ye that Mom will like to watch that one. Yeah,
if I can stop Beverly Hills Cop for a second.
She's a big fan, big fan.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Had she ever seen the movie we're going to talk about.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I don't know. I have to ask her. I have
to ask her. That's a good question. Yeah, I would
say more, but it'll delve into mind.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
We don't want to do that. We don't want to
do that.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Maybe we'll just get started, Robbie, want to start us
off with a rough synopsy? Sure. Bob Wallace and Phil Davis,
two Army Buddies, become a top notch musical comedy team
after the war and are now the toast of Broadway.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
While on the road in Florida, the star has become
involved with two aspiring singers, the sister act of Betty
and Judy. Despite some romantic complications between the couples, everything
ends on a happy note when Christmas Eve brings rave
review use for the show and much needed snowfall.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Hooray, hurry.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
They really tell you all about it in that they
go the whole thing, even give you the snow spoiler.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I give you like a Christmas Eve hot take. Yes,
not enough girls named Betty these days?

Speaker 5 (15:20):
You like Betty?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah? I do like a Betty, maybe just because of
the archie comic world, but I do like or Flintstones.
That's true. Wow, Petty short for something? Is it? Elizabeth? Names?

Speaker 4 (15:37):
I don't Elizabeth?

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Maybe bett that's short.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Maybe I don't either. Betty Betty is a name. It's
a common diminutive for the names Bethany and Elizabeth.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah you got it?

Speaker 4 (15:56):
No, yeah, nothing anyway.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah. Oh it's my turn. Let's go to Rotten Tomatoes
and hear what they have to say. Critics have it
coming in at a pretty good seventy six percent boom,
not terrible, not terrible. Audience members though, way about that.
They're up at eighty nine percent. That's where it should be.
Audiences love this film. I love it. Love a Christmas musical.
Who doesn't, well do we? I don't know. It's time

(16:22):
to find out. It's time for our hot take. Hot take.
Oh that's a hot take. That's a hot take. Hot coco.
Drink some you probably drink something that's spicy at some point,
or or hot cocoa, hot coco. You're right, yeah, I
always go to booze. Oh yeah, that's a boozy.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
One, right, it is at least when I make them.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Oh yeah, I make them with.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
You, especially when you do whiskey whiskey uisky.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Anyway, hot take. I this is my first time I've
ever seen this film. Isn't that fun? I didn't want
to tell you that ahead of time. This is such
a classic and I've never like avoided it on purpose
or anything like that. But that is a this is
not one that like we watch every year or anything

(17:16):
like that. We're really like a home alone Uncle Buck,
probably Christmas kind of family, so you know, they don't
have to be Christmas films. I G this is what
I'm saying, gotcha, But yes, this was really fun to watch.
What a joy I didn't. I think I only knew

(17:38):
recently that it was like a straight up musical. I
don't know how much I missed that. I knew they
were singing in it, obviously, But what a delightful film,
really funny, really tender and sweet. There's some like lovely
masculinity stuff and being tender things in there that I.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Liked especially good for nineteen fifty four.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, it ages incredibly well. There's tons of like great
dancing and stuff and like the tapping and all that,
which is fun. It really you know, delves into that
sort of like vaudevillian esque. I guess it's a late
Vaudeville maybe, like performing era, which I always just think
is really charming of just like folks doing their thing

(18:20):
and you're having a good time, and you can't watch
a million things on TV, so you go and see
more like live entertainment stuff. I really liked it. I
had a great great time. The recurring arm bit where
his friend like doing whatever is so funny. That's so

(18:42):
funny and also like very believable. As I mean, as
we just did right, we went into a common story
that we all have together. So like that's what friendships do.
Especially really long, you know, committed friendships. So I just
I loved that. I thought it was super fun and
never really done into like a malicious way, which is
really fun. Like this is a very tender hearted little film.

(19:04):
I think it's really really great. And yeah, I just
think all I could think about when I started watching it, though,
was Clark Griswold saying we're gonna press out and we're
gonna have the hap half happiest Christmas since bing Crosby
tap Dance with Danny Fuck remember when he freaks out.

(19:26):
I can't stop thinking about that. He was really cracking
me up. My hot take thought, other than we need
more Betties in the world is to hit you with
White Christmas. Immediately, they're like, right out the gate, we're
not saving it. Although originally right that White Christmas was
debuted in a different holiday, and that.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Was another one that my my folks loved that one too. Yeah,
so I knew that that little bit of trivia long
time ago.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
But yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I think they come right out with it. They do wild.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
I mean, it was a pretty famous song by that point,
so I.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
And if Mom hasn't seen it, we're definitely gonna watch
it this Christmas you totally. It's fun.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
Yeah, it's so fun.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
But yeah, that's what I got.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
That's a hot take, bro, It's a kind uh complete opposite.
This is a movie I've watched pretty much every Christmas.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
For as song as I can remember. It's the worst.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
It is My mom's favorite movie has become one of
mine as well. It's directed by Michael Curtiz, who was
a big director during the Silent film era all the
way into Hollywood's Golden Age. He made stars of Errol Flynn,
Betty Davis another Betty Got, James Cagney, and Joan Crawford

(20:48):
Academy Awards, and he won Best Director for a little
film called Casablanca Sick. Pretty big deal.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
The music and lyrics were by Irving Berlin. It is
so crazy he did all that music, such a prolific musician,
So many great songs with white Christmas. The best things
happen while you're dancing, sister, counting your blessings. I mean,
it's just the music in this is top notch. The

(21:24):
music is so good that it overshadows not great acting
by some folks.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
She kept dancer. It weird spots too, like while they
were she has a fantastic dancer, unbelievable, but yeah, it
was funny, it was it was interesting to see that part.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
So yeah, I just I've loved this forever hot takes.
I kind of always find where the conflict is because
of like a misunderstanding to be annoying.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
When it's just like, hey, let's just talk. Why are
you upset?

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Just tell me why words, Just tell me why you're upset?
It's because you overheard one part of a conversation and
you didn't even hear my part of the conversation. Like,
let's let's just talk it out and it could get
explained in a second. Those kind of conflicts always bug me,

(22:30):
but you know you need it. You need it for
this movie.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
And why you and I are friends raped because we
would just be like, what what's happening with this way?
Why are we upset? Let's just explain.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Yeah, I have a whole job because of that.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, to be honest, it's this probably isn't even the
top five dumbest thing I've ever got mad about, So
you know, I'm probably who.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
Knows, But yes, yes I hear that other hot.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Take just knowing bing Crosby is with such a horrible dad.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
It's always kind of hard. Dude, I didn't know that
super abusive, really abusive and so absent. No, no, no,
he was really bad.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
But when he says the line like you know you
ought to be horse whipped and always just.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Like, I hate that.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
It just makes me think of how horrible you were
somebody with such an amazing voice being that big of
a dish.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Okay, great then, though, because he seemed so sweet.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
And right, I know, And dude, I don't know if
it was this like VistaVision, but his blue eyes.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Just sparkled in this.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
It's like it doesn't real. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's absurd to me how good cameras have been for
so long.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's pretty wild sounded like this one. This film was
one of the first ones using.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
That very first, I think. I think there's trivia about
it the reason I know.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
That's the only reason I saw it yet. But yeah,
aside from all that, it's still just such. It's an
amazing musical with some of my favorite voices between Ben
Crosby and Rosemary Clooney.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I just oh, which is beautiful.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
So I love it.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Hot take pal, that's what I got.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Thanks.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
You got kills well, similar to you bugs, this was
not on my family's radar, so I was introduced to
it after being there you go. So I always like,
after the.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Best decision of your life.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Ye, thank you for filming. He introduced me to both
White Christmas and It's a wonderful life. Those were not
So we watch the Christmas Story, yeah, and Diehard? Yes, yes, no,
my family watched The Christmas Story with rest, that's right.

(25:14):
So I introduced him to that and that's a different
vibe than these two movies. Yes, there's I think, like
the thing I've appreciated is that I think because I
was introduced to it by you, I always am thinking
of how you told me your parents reacted to it,

(25:36):
and so you know, when it comes to the scenes
honoring the general and like all of that stuff, like
I'm always thinking of your dad, and both of us
have family members that were in the military or in
the Air Force or whatever, and so I've like, I
think there's a way in which to see kind of
the reverence or ways in which people cared for and

(26:00):
things at that time. And you know, the hope is
that that remains, but I think, like I just always
think about those pieces when I'm watching it, and so
it really puts me in the fields. And it's been
really fun to introduce our kids to it because they
are like just singing the songs all the time, like

(26:21):
starting to sing sisters, or Lydia was singing love you
didn't do right by Me the other day when we
were watching this, or when I watched it for the
pod again, I watched it with the kids and my mom,
and so I've also like reintroduced my parents to it.
I don't know if they ever saw it beforehand, but
they now want to watch it every year. And so

(26:43):
there's something about the beautiful music, and I just am
such a sucker for the actual like Christmasy, like the
final whatever, we'll get to it, but the final stage.
It's just like so it's just so wonderful and heartwarming
for so many reasons. And so it's something that I

(27:04):
now come to really look forward to and enjoy every year.
And similar to what you were saying, honey, like it's it,
you know all of these things with like how do
you this balance between appreciating art and the person's like
flaws As a human or really significant issues is like

(27:26):
a tricky balance. But yeah, it's one that I really
like a lot, and I really like to hear our
kittles singing the songs.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Very cute.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yea, I love it, very cute. I love it. Ah, Well,
what do we think should we go talk about our
favorite acting performance? Shall we name the dude the dude?
I'm the dude, so that's what you call me, you
know that, or his dudeness or duder or you know,

(27:58):
el dudo reno. If you're not into the whole brevity thing, Kelse,
do you want to go first?

Speaker 5 (28:04):
Rosemary Clooney, Yeah, it's my dude. It's so funny that
you were talking about the I'm sorry I forget her name.
The other female actress, Vera Vera Ellen. Yes, this last
rewatch Lydia kept pointing out how she's like she keeps
looking at the camera or like these weird looks, you know,

(28:24):
she's like looking in these odd places. When you were
saying that earlier, I was like, yeah, you're right, so
but anyway, I felt like she was one of the
most believable, even in like the corniness where she had
to be like, let me listen to you talking about something.
But she was still I don't know, the most believable
and I really enjoyed watching her sing.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Beautiful voice.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
I know, I love it, and so that's why I chose.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
I went with Danny Kay because he's just so.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Much fun in this.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
He's got comedy chops, the physical comedy, can sing and dance.
I love how he cracks his voice for comedic effect.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
He does that quite a.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Bit a lot. It's real fun.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Maybe a crutch, but you know what, I really enjoyed
it every time. Yeah, A big fan. And yeah, dude,
when he's trying to stall the general from watching the
TV show by acting like he's heard himself, I mean
that is just grade a comedy. Yes, Danny Ka, big fan.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Love it. I love it. I went Rosemary Clooney as well.
I'm with you, Kelsea. And not that there's any wrong
answer for this, obviously, but I thought she was the
most believable character in the whole thing, like the big
sister slash, you know, like caretaker role that she takes on.
And also it felt like she, you know, that big

(30:01):
sister thing of like I take care of people. No
one sees me as like the beautiful one like that
is a stereotype that happens a lot, but I do
think it is kind of a stereotype for a reason
in a way, Like I think people can get lost
in that caretaking role a little bit sometimes when it
comes to that. And she was just great. I just
loved her, and I thought she was really like you know,

(30:25):
she still was optimistic and gray, but also like a
little realistic too because of that caretaker apart. I just
loved her and has an amazing voice, and it's gorgeous
as well, Like she was just to watch deep blue
deep Yeah, for sure, deep blue ridiculous, But yeah, I

(30:50):
really loved her a lot.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Yeah, well that's fine.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Well let's talk about some of the other characters, and
let's choose the Tucci.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
So I went for Danny k for the Tucci. For
all the reasons that you named. I thought that he was, yeah,
just like the silliness and the like triple threat, like
doing all the things. He was just really fun to
watch and I think adds some levity and silliness to

(31:25):
the film. I don't know, I mean, yeah, I just
really liked his role and his silliness with Judy and
things like that. So yeah, he's who I chose.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Love it.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
I would have picked Rosemary Clooney nice. So we just
kind of flippity flopped. But I feel like we should
bring up being Crosby for sorry.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Sorry right there. But dude, his.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Voice, I mean it's one of my favorite voices of
all time.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
It's so beautiful.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
It's butterim It's just so smooth.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
It's just like it just relaxes you just calm.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah, even into a.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Warm bath or something, it's just like, oh.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, like that count your blessing scene. Even him just
kind of talking about all the different foods and stuff.
You're just like I could just listen to you, just
tell me things.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
He calms your nervous system, he does.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I just love his voice so much. He was fine
as an actor, but yeah, my voice, his acting wasn't great,
But it also didn't need to I don't know, because
he because he was kind of the straight man, you know,
like he didn't need to do a lot. He kind
of was the like ballast that danny Ka got to
like be crazy around, which is kind of fun. Yeah.

(32:54):
I love his voice. All great picks. I probably picked
all of them. Yeah, yes, there's not a lot of
other people in this movie, uh, that have big parts.
But I liked the major general a lot. Uh Jagger
award for something apparently, oh really, I didn't look it up,

(33:18):
but yeah, I just thought he was you could tell
why he was well loved, like he was a serious
man but also you know, cared about people deeply and
just wanted to do the right thing. And yeah, yeah,
sort of that like quintessential, Like the officers in arm
services are often like just very smart and have to

(33:41):
be so many things. You know that it's it's just great,
And I thought he was wonderful. He was older than them, which.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Is maybe dude, did you see that in the trivia
that he is younger?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, Bing Crosby is older than he is. Oh well,
and stuff happens. I guess it looked like fake gray
Is that you're gonna say?

Speaker 4 (34:04):
It did look like fake gray hair?

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Look like that.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Another thing I saw was Bing Crosby was fifty one
and Rosemary Clooney was twenty six.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Oh neat really in this movie? In this movie? Okay,
that's that crazy, yow you'd like it? Didn't like that, No,
she really didn't.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I think it says more that he doesn't look fifty
one in there than she doesn't look twenty six, but
I don't know. Yeah, Wow, that just blew my mind.
That's wid Yeah, I thought that was funny. Oh my gosh.
Somebody that I would love to bring up is Mary Wicks. Yeah,
I feel she's so funny.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
What were you going to say?

Speaker 5 (34:50):
I feel like she's the same character as like in
Sister Act. Yes, I mean, just like I love I'm
sorry to interrupt, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
No, I love that.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Sure, I was going to totally say that too. I
loved her and Sister Act. Yes, but yeah, she was
really funny, and you know, she gets all excited and
she kisses both.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Of them like long on the lips.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, she was really funny, but her nosiness made for
all of the conflict is annoying.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah, she's very like Edith Bunker kind of vibes that
kind of character. I thought she was so funny.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Yeah, and then we can just say Vie Ellen's dancing
was really incredible.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
It was really incredible. And to be honest, when she like,
she shows that she's actually interested in Danny. Kay. That
worked for me. I thought that was pretty good. That
was a lot of the rest of it was not great,
but yeah, that specific scene, I was like, yeah, okay,
that's great. But yeah, she was a great answer.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
And I didn't know until this rewatch that that wasn't
her voice. I never I never looked up that it
was being sued by somebody else.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
It was, oh my gosh, I'm learning so much.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, it was re dubbed by It's in the in
the trivia here, but I went to her name.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Trudy Stevens was the voice wild.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
She did suffer from anorexia, which.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Is very small.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yeah, but like, actually that I had looked up one
of the years that I watched it because I was
just like, wow, that looks really.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Waste so things.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah, it's almost so hard to tell, right, because like
that is obviously so prominent for especially young women and
women in general in stuff. But it's also like some
people are just like just so skinny. Anyway, It's like.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Right, it's hard to tell, but I had looked. I
had looked it up because there's a few other like
physical features that were cueing me into.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Me that it was a fact.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
And so anyway, so that's a tough part. But she
was a very good dancer.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Very good dancer crazy good.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah, well sweet, why don't we uh, why don't we
move on to our favorite scene?

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Let's choose the Dingus the Dingus.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
So think this is quite simple, really Dingus, Dingus. I
could talk about my dingas all night long.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
I'm gonna kiss you Dingis.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
I mean, it's the end for me, one hundred percent,
like nothing else. I mean, there are some other fun scenes,
but the I mean it's like the thing you think
of when you think of this movie. And I just
also love everyone, like all all the things about it.
I love the Christmas, the outfits, I love the big tree,
I love the snow. I also love that every single

(37:55):
person is, like, you know, sharing like champagne and singing
it and in a group. I'm like, I'm here for it.
I wish it was in the room, like I want
all of that. So that's my favorite.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
How would you feel about it? In the dead of winter,
they just opened the barn doors and everyone just gets
cold immediately. What are we doing here? Oh?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
I don't think I think they were snow.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
I think they were so excited.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
I would it. I'm good, are you talking?

Speaker 4 (38:23):
What are you?

Speaker 1 (38:24):
I was?

Speaker 5 (38:26):
She felt, Yes, I'm here snow.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
You guys, I didn't say anything. I would agree it's
the end. I would have added the earlier, you know,
when when all the old army buddies.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yes that is I mean that's my favorite part, right
but yes, like that, Yeah, the big surprise he comes
down in his uniform and the best. Yeah, it just
is greeted by a bunch of clapping and then it's

(39:06):
just so wonderful. So that's for sure number one for me. Yeah,
I'm in on that. We can clean sweep that for sure. Okay.
The on the other, not the only other one, but
the other big one that I thought about was the
the first time we see sisters and it's the two
ladies and then when the dudes do it like that,

(39:28):
it's hysterical. Yeah, it's so funny, fun right there.

Speaker 5 (39:31):
It is perfect.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
It is perfect, and they seem like they're just having
so much fun doing it, just a blast, like the
laughs in between, Like it just looked it looked like
a blast.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
So yeah, that was my runner up too. It's so
funny rap because Paul from Sound Exchange, you know, yeah,
our buddy, he wanted to put the male reprise with
me and him in our Christmas show so badly. I
was like, dude, I'm in I've never seen the movie
but all and we never did, but yeah, that'd be
so funny. For sure.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
You can see bing Crosby like real belly laughing like
der which is really fun. Like it makes me feel
like you're there and it's very real. I love that too.
I feel like sisters. And then the snow it's like
those be like the most I don't know, memorable or

(40:30):
like the ones that are or just the ones that
are like referenced a lot.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, you know those ones. They see the weirdest cord
when they do the snow thing every time. I'm just like,
what is It's crunchy.

Speaker 5 (40:47):
Little like a train.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Horn, but it's so I was just like, I don't
think you're just picking the right Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
I also love I just love the song Count Your Blessings.
I think it's beautiful and that's a fun scene they're
falling in love. Very good scene. I love the best
things happen while you're dancing. I love that song as well,
the cutest and just quite a long dance, really dancing.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah, I totally While I was watching it, I was like,
I kind of get why people trim their tree to
this because you can kind of not check out, but
like you can totally check out grand for sure a second.
And it's no bit, you know, especially once you've seen
it a few times, like, yeah, you're good, you'll come
back for the part, you know, the big parts. But
it was funny because those dancinges were legit.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Yeah, and especially when you actually they're doing, like the
rehearsals on the stage like those ones.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Yes, crazy huge production. Yeah, it's cool.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
And I always thought that was so funny. Then they
would just pan to the audience and it's the three.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Just maybe every show I ever performed.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
Dude, the Neighborhood All Stars.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
We do a big number and then bugs and two
other people are clapping.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
It was at that time. I can't even remember, were
you the only one? The only thing I remember is
I was coming from from back home, and but Dad
and you guys held the door for me because well,
we might as well. Wait it's horrible, And I was
just like, I have to scream so loud for them

(42:42):
because this would be murder to try and to it
was gat. It was a great show. People coming to
your show is not a prerequisite for it being great, right,
But that's what I tell myself every night before they
was there. This, Yeah, that was one of the giant

(43:06):
Is that one of the big I just went down.
That whole scene was just wild and.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
Ye yes, lots of places.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
This is where apparently it once is hard.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Because I'm like, I was gonna say the lead male
dancer apparently became like a really big deal. I think
he won an Academy Award for West Side Story.

Speaker 5 (43:31):
I was going to say he was he was very good, handsome,
checkeris Chakiris.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
He's that guy, Okay, cool? Yeah, and he also danced
alongside Marilyn Monroe and Diamonds are Girls Best Friend and
yeah he went he won Best Supporting Actor in West
Side Story. So you know, just a featured dancer in
this and goes on and wins the Academy Award.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Wild. That's cool wild yea.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
But yeah, I think we can all agree it was
the the end, beautiful, beautiful. Wait, well, why don't we
go and talk about some quotes and let's.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Show me the money, show me the money, show me
did you write any of these downs?

Speaker 5 (44:26):
I did, So there's one, the one. I'll just start
with it because I'm always like, what are you saying?
I don't understand, and you know what I'm going to say.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Of course.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
So it's well I like that without so much as
kiss my foot or having apple.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Having apple? So that what is that?

Speaker 3 (44:46):
My parents have been quoting that for so long, like
that an apple, and it does say, well I like that.
I always thought it was.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Well, how do you like that?

Speaker 5 (44:56):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
That.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Yeah, I think think it was a typo on there.

Speaker 5 (45:01):
Oh maybe it was, but the whole without so much
as a kisso having an apple?

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yeah, weird fifties slang who knows what, probably means something terrible.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Kiss your mother with that mouth?

Speaker 5 (45:24):
That one you can keep, you guys can bring.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Oh okay, another another one from.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Her, which is, how do you do mutual? I'm shoe shoe.
That lady was so annoying, and also I loved every
second of it.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Yeah, she was fun.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
That was the best.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
When he is trying to distract the general Danny k Is,
he's like, oh, it's okay, probably just a small compound fracture,
and then he also says, that's probably just a small
muscular muscular hemorrhage. I wouldn't want a faint in front
of the women.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Sir, Yes we didn't, sir. I loved all that.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
I love how much is wow?

Speaker 3 (46:06):
It's right in between a between ouch and buying.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Wow. I love that.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
How can a guy that ugly have the nerve to
have sisters very brave parents? I guess I thought that
was funny.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
I like that a lot.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
And what's her name? From sister act?

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Yeah? What's her name?

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Mary?

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Wick's?

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Emma is the character's name.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
If I weren't such a mean old bitty, i'd break
down and cry. I like it so good he can
say some bugs. I love it. At one point they're like,
go to Smith. She can't even spell it. That was
real fun. I like that a lot. I also liked
when when they're first helping the sisters out and he's like,

(47:00):
would you stop worrying? We like to take care of
our friends, and they're like friends were practically strangers and
he's like, well, we'd like to fix that too. That's
a very solid line for him. Good for him. Uh,
let's just face it, Bob, You're a miserable, lonely, unhappy man.

(47:21):
And then he says it a couple of times and
it made me giggle. I liked it a lot. Uh yeah,
what else? Oh, when he's like, sure, but I feel
the same about my cocker spaniel. Yeah right, Yeah, I
love the whole thing. That was great, But you got

(47:42):
some more of there, kelse, Yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
Do some of the ones that I and I'm going
to see if I can read this right, But the
one where Phil says, my dear partner, when what's left
of you gets around and what's left to be gotten,
what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting whatever
it is you got left, And he's like, when I
get around to figuring out what that is, like, i'll
get back to you or something, but that one, and

(48:05):
then I want you to get married. I want you
to have nine children, and if you only spend five
minutes a day with each kid, that's forty five minutes,
and I'd at least have time to go get a
massage or something like that. One forty five minutes to myself, Like,
I feel like that's kept coming back.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Yeah great, Yeah, I like that too.

Speaker 5 (48:25):
I like when the general said I got along very
well in the army without you, and Emma says it
took fifteen thousand men to take my place.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
Like that, and then the like really.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
Tender one like the general You're soft, you're sloppy, you're unruly,
you're on disciplined, and I never saw anything so wonderful
in my whole life. It's like, cry, I love that one.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
That's such a good one.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Yeah, that's the best.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
That's great, I think.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Yeah, you said the other ones that I had for sure?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, deep blue.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
That is great.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Oh and one that I say, and it's definitely from
this is the theater, the theater, what's happened to.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
The the.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah, that's great. It's the beginning of that choreography.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
Number really made me.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Think of the it's in one of the Monty pythons.
Was like, oh, fish a fish a fishy. Oh, I've
ever heard that. It's so funny, but it's very similar
read which nice.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
That was all I had though, Oh.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Oh, I liked the I think it's impossible, ridiculous and insane.
Oh yes, that all I wish I'd have thought of
it myself. That that was really fun between the two
guys their repartee in those couple of scenes are so
it's the best. That was the last one I had.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
Nice, Well, let's go to be Boohoom moments game. I
picked three. I say, when Bob goes on TV and
explains he wants to make the General's Christmas special, and
Betty watches, realizing she misunderstood Bob's intentions. Of course, when

(50:24):
the General comes down in his uniform and is greeted
by a bunch of clapping absolutely, and then this might
have just all been one. But then him saying that
I never saw anything look so wonderful in my whole life.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
I did sort of discount that as one. But I
did point out that line because that line got me
for sure.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yeah, and then I don't know, maybe maybe apart by
the Christmas tree, them singing White Christmas, maybe at the end, yep,
if we're gonna yeah, you got it sweet.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
I mean I undershot because I just said the whole
end of the movie when he comes I kind of
lump when he comes down the stairs to the end.
As one. I guess it's not because there are some
different musical numbers in there. I do love g I
wish I was back in the army.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Remember, by the way, that's a great too. It's a
great song.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
But yeah, I didn't think about that other one, so
I undershot that's a good one. Were there anyway, minced?

Speaker 1 (51:24):
There's just one more and it's a tricky one because
I've never seen this, but the White Christmas right out
the Gate just got this song so much.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
Well they were like.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Over yeah the war and all that stuff. So yeah, yeah, for.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
Sure another hot take.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
That wall that's gonna fall on him is so clearly
a set.

Speaker 4 (51:55):
You mean, it's terrible.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
I don't understand. What are you saying.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
There's a few. There's a few of like when in
the best best things happen when you're dancing, like beach scene,
it's like.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
That is.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Up so great. Yeah, yeah, it's almost like you shouldn't
have tried to make it look real, because that's almost worse,
like you just tell us it.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Yeah, but at.

Speaker 5 (52:24):
That time, maybe, yeah, you know, we.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Could do well, what do you say, should we do
a little trivia? According to Rosemary Clooney, the midnight snack scene,
which is great, probably should have brought up, but which
Bob expounds on this theory of what foods caused, what
dreams and all that was almost entirely improvised, which is
pretty fun. That is fun. That's pretty great. Apparently, according

(52:54):
to all the actors. Basically, the sister's performance of the
Two Fellers was not a rig in the script. They
were clowning around on set and the director Michael Curtis
thought it was so funny that he decided to film it.
In the scene, Crosby's laughs are genuine and unscripted, and
he was unable to hold the straight face due to
Kay's comedic dancing. Clooney said the filmmakers had a better

(53:17):
take where Crosby didn't laugh, but when they ran them
both people liked the laughing version way better, which I
think makes sense. So yeah, it's all night. Y'all nailed it.
This was the first film photographed, it says, but filmed
in this division, which is a radical departure from the
other wide screen formats of the area of the era. Apparently,

(53:41):
this division did not extend the width of the screen
as much as it increased the size of the filmed
area of the negative, which made things really sharp and
much more clear, I guess. So yeah, I just thought
that was really interesting. And they filmed one hundred one
hundred or so films in this division, is all. But
they have lived on as the clearest, most vivid when

(54:03):
transferred to the high definition home video formats. So that's
kind of cool.

Speaker 5 (54:08):
It's really cool.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Yeah, but they must have come up with something slightly
cheaper or something. I don't I guess I don't know that,
but that'd be interesting to learn just about the filming
throughout history of film. Yes, I probably won't. In an interview,
Rosemary Clooney once quipped that this could have been a
near perfect movie if only they could have dubbed her
dancing as well.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
Hey, I think was bad, but.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Good line. According to Danny Kay in a TV documentary
on Bing Crosby which aired after Crosby's death, Crosby was
initially glove during filming White Christmas, having just lost his
wife Dixie, and Kay decided to try and lighten Crosby
up by improvising the vamp Ding Sisters, which in which

(54:57):
he repeatedly hits him in the stomach with the feather
fan and he broke up and you know, was laughing,
and then he said it was a much better atmosphere
on set after that. So that's kind of cool. So
he was trying to like get him going a little
bit too, which is fun. Although we already said that

(55:17):
Dean Jagger was six months younger. This was nineteen fifty
four's most successful film. The second most successful was The
Cane Mutiny, which also featured Rosemary Clooney's husband, jose Fahreer.
They had a good year. Fifty four was a good
year for that. I loved it. Originally, the plan was

(55:41):
to reunite Crosby with his Holiday inco star Fred Astaire,
but Astaire turned it down as he had temporarily retired
at the time. Donald O'Connor was cast as crosby co
star and what he hoped to be a reprise of
his successful dance partnership with Vera Allen from Call Me
Madam in nineteen fifty three. But while fieling while filming

(56:02):
Francis Joins the W A C S just another movie title, Relax,
O'Connor contracted a severe bout of something called Q fever
from his co star Mollie. I don't know what Q
fever is. Yeah, just shot in the foot, not even

(56:22):
an apple or whatever she says. But Danny k was
cast as a last minute replacement. What a great last
Yeah that worked out just fine. I'm gonna look up
would have been great too, of course, of course, Uh
they did put Uh he had temporarily retired at the time,

(56:43):
which is that like a euphemism for something. I don't
think so.

Speaker 4 (56:48):
I think he had retired. And then he was like, oh,
I need to make put it.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
It makes it sound like he was in rehab or
something like he know, he retired to the state penitentiary.
For the last one that I have is the snow
used at the end of the film is actually asbestos.
So that's fine, a pretty common thing I've heard about
other films, right, Oz, there was asbestos in that too,

(57:16):
or something.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
That would makes sense silly twenty years earlier.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Yes, take a big whiff. Yeah, I'm looking up Q fever. Rob,
did you find any trivia?

Speaker 4 (57:31):
We had said? He had also sung why Christmas?

Speaker 3 (57:34):
In Holiday? And the other one was Blue Skies, another
great Irving Berlin song that was in this for a
little bit, and for the song g I wish I
was back in the army. There's the lyric Jolson, Hope
and Benny all for free. This is a reference to
three wartime entertainers Al Jolson, Bob Hope and Jack Benny.
The original words were Crosby Hope and Joelson all for free,

(57:58):
but the lyric was changed because with being Crosby in
the cast, the original lyric would break the fourth It's fun.

Speaker 5 (58:09):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
What's q fever?

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Nothing really interesting?

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Sounds like.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
It might be.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
Hey, do you remember?

Speaker 1 (58:20):
I hope someone remembers when they got it. Some of
these are just for us, guys, all right, just for
our friends who listen to this that are brand. It's
gonna text me now. I love that. Well, what about
Judgment Day? Do we think there'll be a sequel? I

(58:43):
think yeah, Welcome to Red Christmas. I love it. Yeah,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Probably not, No, definitely not. I could definitely do a
remake though.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yeah, I would be interesting. It's so good.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Yeah, but everything's being remade.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
I could absolutely see that happening. You're right, who would
do it? That's the real question. Gosh, I don't know either.
I'm sorry I asked.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Even think about it. Do you guys want to play
a game?

Speaker 5 (59:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (59:24):
I'm starting five?

Speaker 3 (59:25):
Actually you know what, Nope, I didn't write that down right,
I did a quote.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Game rop only reads what's written.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
Now, I was like, wait a minute, I didn't do
a starting five. I did the quote game.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
So I'm going to say a quote, and then you're
gonna have to give me the name of the film,
the character who said it, and the actor who played
that character, so you can get three points for each one.
There's no negative points you ring in with your name.
All of these might have you know something to do

(59:59):
with this movie. There's a theme. If you know the theme,
you can ring it at any time for a point,
and we.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Can steal, right. I think we can steal this one.
You can steal if somebody doesn't get a question right,
for sure, that'll be me. I won't get it right.

Speaker 4 (01:00:15):
No, no, no, he won't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Cool. We feel good strong, you're here and we're here. Okay, nice.
I love that I'm contractually obligated to play.

Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
This to be here.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Some of these tough. I feel like.

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
You're gonna be very kind to me, but maybe you're not.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
No, I'm not. I just stick to the theme.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
So see how we need to go about Okay, sounds good.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
Sounds good?

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Number one, the quote is.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one
of all.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
Bukes?

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
It's from five Maleficent four. That is not correct that
you were trying to track Sleeping Beauty. That is not correct, Hamrick,
what is it?

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
It's snow white? And sorry the Seven Doors.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Yes, so I'll give you half a point for that.
Do you know who said it?

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
The I was gonna say the Wicked Witch. That's not
right kind of is it Maleficent?

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Uh? No? And then do you know the actress who
said it?

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Do you know what the character's name is?

Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
Are you talking about the remake of this movie or the.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
Really old one?

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Yeah? What is I don't what is that character?

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
The evil Queen?

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Evil Queen? Is that right? It wasn't your turn anymore?

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
It was his turn.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
He can take it. It was the Queen, just queen.
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:02:11):
Working with her.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
She got it half a point because she said snow
white after it was all done.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
I'm sorry, He's okay.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
Okay, yeah, movies with the word white in the title.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
That's it's not that because there's not enough that I
could do with white.

Speaker 5 (01:02:31):
Wo white or Christmas No?

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
Okay, Mmm, let's go to the second one.

my name.

Technically the theme is it movie titles with a color
in the title?

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Got it? You got a point?
