Luca's owen wilson, you know he's gone and now they

such an anticlimactic death inthis movie.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
So, um, all right, we are talking about, of course,
armageddon, that's right, 1998'sarmageddon um starring bruce
willis.
Live Tyler.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Ben Affleck.
A hundred people in this movie,it's quite the ensemble.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
I remember the first time I heard of this movie was.
I was at my cousin's house andI was like I don't know, 98, I
was 12, going on 13.
And my older cousin came backfrom the movie theater and he
was like a masculineweightlifter type of dude.
He's like four years older thanme, okay, and he came in like
bawling still.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Oh, all the way from the movie theater.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's valid.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Armageddon made him cry.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's a heart wrenching movie.
It really is.
It's about fathers and sons andfathers and daughters, oh my
god and children and absenteefathers, and this movie's got a
lot of daddy issues.
A giant comet, that's right.
Wipe it all out.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
The biggest daddy of them all um, but yeah, that's my
first experience with it.
I don't think I saw it intheaters, though I think I
waited um until it was ablockbuster rental, for sure it
was a rental, yeah and so um atleast I don't remember seeing in
theaters.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So no, I watched it at home.
I remember watching at home.
This was, this was a big movie,big movie, parents's let you
watch something calledarmageddon you know, maybe they
miss, maybe was a miss, maybethey thought for Jesus like what
?
This is really late in the game.
When is Jesus showing up forthis?
Like like he's just like BruceWillis on your left?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Jesus shows up at the end and just kills the comet.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Then your dad stands up and cheers.
He's waving an American flag,not my father, jesus.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh goodness.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, so you guys, what's your first experience
with Armageddon?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Late in life, early in life oh mine is vivid.
So I was actually 12 or 13 aswell.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
But it was a little bit later on.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So you know how HBO used to have like six or seven
channels and they would play thesame like 15 or 20 movies for
like three months, you know,yeah, well, anyway, as we've
mentioned on the on this podcastbefore, I'm a very stubborn
person and I have a tendency tore-watch the same stuff over and
over again.
And so my older brother, tommy,was still living at home and I
remember I, I, I walked into theliving room to him watching
armageddon and he was like ally,you need to watch this, it's so
good this is american, youwould love this.
And I was like change you hereally did, and he didn't do
that often with movies.
But myself, being the stubbornlittle sister, was like you

(03:31):
think, I'm gonna watch this,absolutely not.
And so he watched it like threeor four more times and I
refused to watch it and finallyI was like fine, I will watch it
nothing else on this hbochannel instantly fell,
instantly fell in love with it,watched it probably 10 to 15
times within the next week ortwo.
I mean just obsessed.
It's one of those, to this day,where my brother still is like
oh, you remember armageddon andI'm like shut up, tommy, but it

(03:53):
was you have to trust me I alsohad had an experience seeing ben
affleck for the first time, soit was.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I had a massive crush on him.
Pearl harbor yeah, yeah, it wasbefore I watched pearl harbor.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yes, yeah oh man this is the affleck heartthrob days.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh, my goodness gracious to this day, anytime I
watched that movie it was a, itwas so good the beginning of
ali's journey into womanhood itwas.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
It was an experience it's kind of wild, like, if you
think about it, like themillennial experience is like if
you think about like, peopletalk about the 70s and they're
like.
I remember when my big brotherintroduced me to Led Zeppelin 4.
The millennial version is likeI remember when my brother
showed me Armageddon.
Ours was VHS and DVD likediscoveries.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Absolutely my parents just randomly rented this movie
one time and my life wasforever changed.
But this was a movie.
It was also.
You know, we talked aboutTitanic previously and how it
was like a big deal that cameout a year before this and this
kind of follows a lot of thesame kind of it's a disaster
movie sort of there's a song anda soundtrack that came out with
it 10 out of 10.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Big cast.
It's a stupidly good soundtrack.
Stupidly good soundtrack.
It's so good I somehow had thisI.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
I had the CD of it.
And it's really just a bunch ofolder artists.
I mean, you're looking at BobSeger, ZZ Top.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
A lot of Aerosmith.
I counted three Aerosmith songsso far.
They're all bangers, man, allbangers.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Jon Bon Jovi, our Lady, peace.
That's relevant, that's thetime, that's of the times it was
relevant that year.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, that year.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
88.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Those were the times.
No, it has like the TrevorRubin song.
That's just the score with theguitar solos.
Oh man.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, he was the composer of it and apparently he
had done other things, likeJack Frost, the Michael Keaton
movie.
Oh, oh, ok, he had also done alot of other Michael Bay stuff.
I believe he did Con Air and healso did Rockstar and National
Treasure at least one of theNational Treasure.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh, interesting Okay.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
He's a South African artist from the.
He was in a band called Rabbit.
Okay, if that rings a bell,Corey.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I didn't expect to open up a can of worms on Trevor
when I name dropped him.
There it is, wow.
Well, I just remember the music.
He knows his stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
The music is like super operatic and I was
operatic and I was like this is,this is a, this is a choice,
like they're just it's.
They're standing there in thebackground.
We only have 30 seconds.
We only have 30 feet of poleleft.
It's like I'm like all right, Imean, I guess it is literally
armageddon, but it's wildbecause all that operatic stuff
doesn't happen until they're onthe.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
That's like the soundtrack for the asteroid.
It's pretty much.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, no, it's pretty much any time.
They have to be serious becauseyou, you've got them.
They're going through themontages, they're getting ready
Joke's left to right, and whenBilly Bob Thornton goes, this
thing's on the way and we onlyhave 70 hours until it breaches
our atmosphere and killseveryone in distance and you
just hear the soul Tyler sheds atear, grabs Bruce Willis' hand.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Oh, it's so good.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Listen, I want to know what deal was made between.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Like you cast my daughter, we'll let you use
sweet emotion.
Was that the?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
deal.
Do you think that michael baywatched a lot of aerosmith
videos and went?
I know my aesthetic for thisfilm now maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
It's basically like live, tyler, because it's like
you're watching it and it's livetyler and like I mean live
tyler is a perfectly okayactress.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I don't I don't think she's incredibly like awesome,
but I mean she's fine she's fine, yeah, you know I like empire
records a lot I think a lot ofpeople probably initially look
at her and go she's just apretty face, but she does have
some.
She can act.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, that's my thing so it's hard to like go well.
Is it a pity thing?
But no, it's like she actuallyhas talent, so and she plays the
role well, she plays grace verywell I kind of wonder if, like,
she's just like let me call mydad, I'll get you the rights to
sweet emotion.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
She, just he.
She's going over the script andhe just walks.
He's like hey, what's going on?
And she's like I'm just doingthis role.
And he reads through it and hekeeps reading and he's like it's
like two o'clock at night.
He's written this song.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
He's like I've got it , it's perfect and again it's a
movie about fathers and sons andfathers and daughters and it's
the banger soundtrack.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
But at the same time the song lyrics get a little
weird.
Like at first you're like, yeah, it's a song about fathers and
daughters, but then it's like Iwant to kiss your eyes and thank
God, we're together, we are notgoing to question the lyrics of
this absolutely perfect song.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
First of all, Aerosmith didn't write it, diane
Warren wrote it.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
That's right, that's right 16-time snub of the Oscars
, diane Warren.
Oh my gosh, serious, no,absolutely not.
Oh, okay, no, no, no, I meanshe is she's.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
She's had 16 nominations, including the past
oscars this year.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
What did she?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
what did she?
What did she all?

Speaker 3 (08:10):
happen, I got it according to the internet her
saying the song was a song forthat.
It's like a military movieabout, like the african-american
experience during, so it'scalled the journey from the
movie the six, triple eight, andit was her, her, the artist,
saying it Gotcha.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Her big hits because she had bangers in the late 80s
and 90s where Nothing's GonnaStop Us Now by Starship for the
movie Mannequin.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Two, isn't it Mannequin 2?
Oh, it is, mannequin, you'reright.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
And then Don't Miss a Thing by Aerosmith.
And then also, how Do I Live byLeigh-Anne Rimes for Con Air.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Damn All lost and I am on air.
Damn, how did all lost and I am.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I am still mad about man rhymes losing to celine, so
it lost this year to when youbelieve, from the prince of
egypt.
It was a tough year because youhad that one and then, oh no,
that's those are the only two.
I missed a misread something,but those are the two main ones.
You had songs from quest forcamelot, the horse whisper and
babe pig in the city.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
So interesting, I will say.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
I mean prince of egypt is all that has some
banger songs in there as wellit's just, I don't know, that's
wild to me, that that wholewoman's life is just writing
oscar worthy songs.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
But just always someone just does a little bit,
I feel like she was making themfor big movies and then suddenly
went I'm just gonna make.
She was trying really hard likeI'm gonna make them for you
know, like the big, the big,like important oscar bait type,
and then that's where she kindof fell off a bit.
Everything after those majorones are.
I'm like I've never heard thatsong before.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
There's no way.
She did not think she was gonnawin with how Do I Live Without
you?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
And then Celine Dion comes out of nowhere.
The previous year that Con Airwas involved, we've probably
talked about this, but Go theDistance from Hercules and my
Heart Will Go On from.
Titanic In my Heart Will Go Onfrom.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Titanic, which was the winner that year, and
Leigh-Anne Ryan's song is betterthan both of those.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
I don't know, corey, we shouldn't question the
obvious integrity of the Oscars.
But yeah, so yeah, 16-timeloser.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's wild, I can't imagine.
But man, it is a goodsoundtrack.
It's a good soundtrack.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's a solid soundtrack Corey, talk about
your time watching the movie,because we've heard Ali's
coming-of-age story.
What about yours?

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I genuinely don't remember the first time.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I watched it.
It just happened to pop in.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
I might have saw it in theaters, like probably
shortly after, like maybe mycousin like told us we needed to
see this Because that wouldhave been around the time I was
going to the Durant movietheater a lot, so I bet to
remember it.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
This was definitely one of the late.
No, this was middle school.
I think Late elementary, earlymiddle school for our range and
it was definitely.
It was a song that was playedat middle school dances and if
that song came on, it's the slowsong, and that song in
particular is one where you'relike I gotta find the girl.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I have a go dance with her to this song.
I was so bad at middle schooldances, I was terrible.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I don't even want to get into it.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
I didn't want to go Because I don't know how Ardmore
was or San Diego was, but inDurant, Oklahoma, they always
played the Dance by Garth Brooks, which is a song about breaking
up.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh yeah, it's a weird mix of country music like the
late 90s, early 2000s pop yourBritney's, your Backstreet, your
NSYNC's and stuff, and thenyeah, then they throw in like
the come on, ride the train.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
You know ride it the Cotton Eye, joe song, yeah,
cotton Eye.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Joe and you just run around and you're like swinging
around like you're at a hoedownor something.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I just remember every dance I ever went to the Garth
Brooks the floor you guys got tomake out what was it is like
1998 no, we were probablyoutside smoking, it was not
allowed, and so yeah, I wasn'tallowed
I told every girl I ever dancedwith to that song, like this
song's about breaking up, likeI'm thinking I'm giving an

(11:34):
interesting fact and likeobservation, and they're just
like oh, that's romantic corythat's so deep and interesting
and dark they're're just like oh.
Profound.
They just wanted the dance tobe over.
At that point they're just likeoh, this guy.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
We had no country songs at our middle school
dances.
That was not at all.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Was there more of a Latin flavor at your dances?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I mean we would play like Gasolina and stuff like
that and things around thataround those types of songs, a
lot of Pitbull, perhaps SeanPaul Kira.
I know that, yeah, by Usher wasa big one.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well, that's not.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Latin.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
No, I know it's not Latin.
I'm trying to think of songs.
They were just actually doingclub music, Right?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
they were just playing hits.
It really was like we did thewhole, like to the window, to
the wall, like I mean the wholebunch of oh, skeet, skeet, skeet
, skeet.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Do you know what that means, sir?

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, that was definitely like me and my
friends thought it would be likealways thought it's funny to go
out in the middle of the dancefloor and just bend over Because
someone is going to just starthumping you.
Like that's how we dance,obviously.
We just thought it washilarious to go out there and
just, and then someone's goingto start humping you and you're
like look, I'm dancing and so,oh my gosh, how about?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
So Armageddon, armageddon, armageddon, released
in 1998 A runtime of 151 Epicminutes.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
It's a long action movie.
It is a long movie.
Well, it's directed by theMichael Bay Of Bayhem, notable
films that You've all heard ofthem Bad Boys, the Rock, pearl
Harbor, the Transformers serieswe didn't talk about, written by
Jonathan Henslay, who did DieHard with a Vengeance, and the
2004 Punisher.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Dang.
He did the second best Die.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Hard he did.
And then this guy who did,according to Corey, one of the
better Mission Impossibles aStar Trek reboot and some
knockoff Star Wars thing, jjAbrams, but anyway moving on
Mission Impossible 3 is the bestMission Impossible I don't know
.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Corey Hands down, it's Mission Impossible 2.
Don't deny it.
Oh my gosh, John Woo's careernever recovered.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Or did it.
He went back home, he said Ican do no better.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
I returned to my homeland, made by American
Fantasy.
Yes, that's right, it's notface-off, it's Mission
Impossible 2.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Pirate's Fame and National.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Treasure Bruckheimer and Don Censor right.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Cinematography John Schwartzman.
He did Seabiscuit, amazingSpider-Man and Jurassic World.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Interesting okay.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
This was definitely that moment in time, if it
wasn't already cemented thatthis was the Bayham style.
Like this movie is notminimalism, it's maximalism to
its full potential.
Everything's big, every shot isfull of just as much shit as
possible.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's wild.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
I mean because he's coming off like what the Rock
and Con Air, like he's just donetwo Nicolas Cage action movies,
because he did both of thoseright, yeah, man, he did two of
the Holy Trinity man, he didthat's impressive.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Alright, anyways, but those are still.
It's like those are guys withguns shooting at each other.
Right, this is.
Someone gave him a budget andhe just spent it on explosives.
He's just like it's one thingwhen the asteroids are coming
down and hitting New York Cityand like cars and taxis are
exploding, but then when it hitsTokyo, and it's just a seaside

(14:32):
town of huts, I don't know whythose huts are exploding.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Because they're full of explosives, Corey.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
I mean, you're kind of like is he implying that
they're all just cooking drugsin these huts?
Because I don't know why it hitthat grass, or just like bamboo
hut, and that bamboo hut justwas a mess.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
It just blew up.
Listen, those mud houses, corey.
They're compacted really tightokay.
The smallest flame would justsend them up like a cinder,
corey.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
But it's just.
I mean, someone had to havesaid that on set and he's just
like whatever, just blow it up,yeah, I mean, I think that was
most of this movie, though beinghonest I think that was his
entire mindset throughout.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
The entire thing was man.
Whatever it doesn't make sense,we're going with it anyway.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
So to correct you, he only directed one of the cage
trilogy.
Oh, simon west directed con air.
He directed the rock, the rockand bad boys before that and
then moved on to armageddon,pearl harbor, bad boys 2.
That's's his late 90s to 2000run.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Why am I just realizing he did Pearl Harbor?

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I remember him doing Pearl Harbor, but when did that
come?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
out.
Pearl Harbor came out in 2001.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Okay, so just a couple years later.
So he rode this Armageddonmoney for a minute.
He did.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
He saw Saving Private Ryan after this and said I
could do that, but he didn't.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
He's like.
I can do this.
He's like.
You know what he was watching.
Saving Private Ryan leaned overto his wife and said nothing's
exploding in this movie.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Not enough explosions .
Tom Hanks should have used abazooka on that tank at the end.
Why this is a waste?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
He's like I can do this better, so I should bring
this up, though I watched themfilm part of this movie.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Did you?

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yes, it was there's like in one of the montages you
know two montages of just likethe world happening.
It's like when the president istalking and then once when it's
over.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
During the presidential speech, I think, or
it might be.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
There's a presidential speech, there's the
, you know, the end of thesecond act, when all hope is
lost and they think they've lostthe first armadillo.
And then there's the victory.
It might have been during the.
All hope is lost when thesirens are going.
Okay, gotcha.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
There is a Coca-Cola sign on the side of a building.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
That is Sanger Texas.
That is Bolivar Street inSanger Texas.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
And that's where my cousins lived.
But we like read in thenewspaper when I was like 10
that they were filming a part ofa Bruce Willis movie in town,
so we like went there of course,like thinking we're gonna see
Bruce Willis and it's just liketwo guys in a camera like, and
they're just out like gettingb-roll of the square and saying
your Texas, and we're likewhere's Bruce Willis?
Can you imagine?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
those two.
They're just like the c team ofthe film.
They're like gotta go.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's like the third unit guys I just got sent out
just thinking like it'll be anice day out.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
We'll just get this nice, nice shot.
Then the whole town shows uplike where's bruce?

Speaker 3 (17:11):
it's definitely just me and my cousins we're like so
when is old.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
When's he gonna be here?
When's john mclean showing up?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
and so we just watched him film that and we're
like this is stupid.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
But like, yeah, like it's, it's maximalism, like if
they could have get, if theycould get an american flag in a
shot, they did oh, they did,they did, they did and if they
were like michael bay was likeif I could find a ridiculously
large a space where I can shoota large, wide lens thing of
something we're gonna shootthere, why would I shoot in an
apartment where they're stayingout on on nasa grounds to
prepare?
No, they're gonna go out intothe the hole of like a rocket,

(17:41):
yeah, and do this whole makeoutscene or or like the memorial
for like the apollo missions orsomething like there's just
spare no expense is the best wayto put it he's romantic nick.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
He was telling a story with with explosions and
and cgi I didn't even factorthat in that there were, it's
all shot in like big warehouses,like if there's it's extreme,
like it's he, he got hispaycheck and he went man center
is kind of packed, it's, it's.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
It's only because it is compact.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, I mean only because there's a ceiling on it
they're like we can't make theoffice look like a football
field and the rocket ships are.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
They're small.
No, they're not that's a lie.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
They're huge.
I've seen them cory.
They are three football thingsat least.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
I'm just saying like the space the actors are in,
football things at least.
I'm just saying like the spacethe actors are in, it seemed at
least sort of confined.
I'm not dogging it.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's just an observation of like wow, this is
just such a huge movie in termsof like they were, just like
we're gonna shoot everything big.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
That was just the 90s man.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, it wasn't simplistic yet, but it's also
like it's also like a americafocused like this asteroid's
coming to earth to destroy earth, the entire world yeah and all
we get is the americanperspective on it.
What does the president have tosay?
I don't know, we're gonnafigure this out.
It's like well, did japan havean opinion?
China, russia?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
it is interesting because in the president's
speech, like during the rocketlaunch, yeah, he literally says
a joint venture and he namescountries.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Oh, that's true, but I'm like well, where are they?
Well, where are they?
There's no show of that.
We do not see.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Fritz, Like we only see one Russian guy.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
They are flying challengers.
They pick up a Russian on theway.
We get one cosmonaut, but notaikonauts, no, nothing else.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
I don't know if Canadians have a special
astronaut.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Canadianauts.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Okay, mounties.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Space Mounties.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
The coveted, the honorable space mounties.
Oh, there's a scene that gotcut where canada calls the
president and says I have fourspace mounties ready for action.
They said no, thank you, we'llcall you if you need.
Hey, this is the same presidentfrom the rock oh this implies
that the rock and armageddon area shared universe.
So the same president and bothpresidents get a cool monologue.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
I could believe that.
I could believe there's abavers.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
So the Bavers Because it's the same president, and
both presidents because it's acool monologue.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I could believe that.
I could believe there's aBavers, even with the
Transformers stuff going on.
It's believable, I just like it.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I like that this president, in one like term, is
like dealing with this hostagesituation on Alcatraz that's
going to biologically wipe outSan Francisco.
Billy Bob Thornton's callinghim like hey, there's a
Texas-sized asteroid.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
He's like damn it.
We got one more job for you,but okay.
So it's a big movie from ourchildhoods and teenage years and
stuff.
Do you guys think it is a goodmovie?
Yes, Objectionably.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
I genuinely believe this is a.
Yeah, it has some silly momentsand yeah, it has cheesy moments
, but overall I mean I truly dobelieve this is a a good movie.
And apparently I was readingthat michael bay thinks it's his
worst film, and I'm likebrother, absolutely not I mean,
the island exists and I've neverseen it.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
The transformers, all the transformer sequels, are
his worst movies.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah I agree, yeah, and so it's just.
It's crazy that it's kind oflike uh spielberg with hook,
where he thinks that's his worstfilm, and it's like whoa hey,
which I'm not at all comparingjust for the record, hook and
armageddon, those are I mean,those are different.
They're both great movies,they're both fine, but yeah I
would argue this is a is awell-made movie that has a lot
of heart and yeah I like it,cory I.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
I think it's a good movie.
It wouldn't shock me if, like,someone wrote this script in the
50s during like the alien space, you know, like yeah because
it's it reads like that it'slike these astronauts.
We're gonna send him to spaceand it's a driller and he's
gonna drill a hole.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
We could send our boys up there.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's working class, you know and so, and it's just
like someone.
You wouldn't shock me ifsomeone said someone wrote this
in 1957.
They're like we can't make this, this is ridiculous then
someone found it and dusted offin the 90s and said, oh, we can
make this now.
Michael bay just found thetechnology to do this now.
But like it, to me it's like areally, really excellently made
b movie that's fair.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
It's a disaster?

Speaker 3 (21:32):
it is, but it's just too good to be called a b movie.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah that's fair because, like the dialogue,
re-watching it today, like thedialogue is nothing like to
really like stand out andthere's moments you're kind of
like that's kind of cheesy, butat the same time a lot of the
delivery works, or it's likeit's in the moment.
Things are happening so quicklyand it's like a joke here, joke
there, and just going soquickly enough that you don't
have time to really dwell on itI think that the movie.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
I will say that I do think the movie's too long yeah,
because I do think there arescenes where you're like I don't
know how this didn't end up onthe cutting room floor well, it
takes them over an hour to totake off to space, to stop the
asteroid honestly, I think thefirst hour is the best part of
the movie.
Like I like it.
I like all this part, you know,and so, uh, I like all the
build-up but, like okay, so theanimal cracker scene is is
really cheesy it's very cheesyand it's cheesy and it's fine.

(22:19):
The only problem I have with itis live tyler's line.
Do you think anyone else in theworld is doing this right now?

Speaker 1 (22:24):
It's very forced.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Sexualizing animal crackers during foreplay.
What kind of question?

Speaker 1 (22:28):
is that we transitioned hard.
It's kind of like the scene inTitanic, where when they're
flirting and suddenly there'sthis weird awkward moment and
she takes his art pamphlet andgoes what is it?
What even is this?
And she starts looking throughthese are pretty good, you're
like, well, that came out ofleft field.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, yeah, but we had to get there.
It's just.
I mean, the scene's fine untilthey try to make it serious with
that line.
I'm like, oh, we needed abetter line, because nobody in
the world is doing this, but youtwo.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
That's what he should have said.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
He said sexualizing animal crackers, no one said
let's drive out into the countryand have sex, but let's pick up
some animal crackers on the way.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Because you know you're at the gas station trying
to find something I guess I'mcooking.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
You know Can't be in the bag, though it's got to be
in the circus box Gummy bears.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
They were out of gummy bears.
It's got to be in the circus.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
The circus carton box .
You really want to get it going.
Part of me like I would love itif someone researched this
ad-lib sure, sure, yeah, that'sall they had on set.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know they were gonna have something else, you
know does anybody have?
Anything like I got some animalcrackers.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Damn it we'll have to do because my problem is within
like 10 minutes we have theengagement scene which is
happening in the thruster of arocket, somewhere you know, and
bruce willis is like watchingthem about to do it he didn't
want to miss a thing oh my, he'slike very sexually kissing his
daughter's shoulders and he'slike stifling.
He's like that's gross, but helingers a little too long.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Like to see where it's going For a guy that was
ready to kind of kill, likeshoot the dude at the beginning
of the movie.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, on her oil rig, mind you where he could have
just engagement and the rocketthruster.
You have the animal cracker sex, and then you have the leaving
on a jet plane.
We only needed like one and ahalf of those.
Yeah, they really.
They kind of it's like too many.
Like I get it.
They're in love and this ishard, you know, but come on,

(24:16):
just say you hate, love Corey.
I know, because it's a good it's, that's a good to me that was
far more like oh yeah, yeah, getrid of animal cracker scene.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, I'll agree, it's fine yeah I don't, I don't
need it at all, it's just likeit's.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
It doesn't do anything, I get it.
They're in love.
It's honestly just like y'alltwo are kinky yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
but I think there's like there's those scenes that
are fun, like the montage ofthem.
Training is fun, it just feelslike they grabbed you and your
friends got to go to NASA spacecamp for like a week and do all
this stuff and they're likewe're literally sending these
guys into space.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, and they're like putting them through, like
the psychological tests and allthat.
It's so fun.
There's some, there's somereally great moments the dot
test or whatever and he's like awoman with large breasts, a
woman with medium, and you'rejust like oh my god, this one
looks like you With breasts.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
With breasts Also.
Just the round, like in theheist movie.
They have the team up likebring the team together and this
is just them the FBI governmentwhoever's rounding up all his

(25:30):
friends, them.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
they were all together, and then, and then
you've got owen wilson riding ahorse and a helicopter that's a
great shot.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
That's a great shot.
Every time I see that show, I'mlike hell yeah, that's such a
good show again for a characterthat does nothing.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
That is an incredible intro.
Yeah, is it a proper use of oldwilson who knows who's to say?
But I think you have to havesomebody like he's the first
true death of the movie whereyou're like oh no, no, there's
stakes and the collateral damageis involved.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Okay, so you're bringing up an interesting point
and honestly, I've seen thismovie like 20 times and I think
for the first time ever I had anissue with this movie because
it's a big cast.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
It is.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
And they make even, like some of them get little sub
stories.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Like.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Rockhound goes and borrows money because he doesn't
believe in this mission.
He's like we're all gonna die.
So I'm gonna live up my lastnight on Earth and then I'm
gonna go get the best seat tothe end of the world, and so
like he's, you know then, likesabotaging, he's got his own
cool little thing.
Chick has his cool little likesubplot where it's like he has.
he's like obviously lost hiswife.
He's kind of a gambling addictand you know, and have subplots

(26:28):
we care about, like I care aboutbear, I care about max yep, and
I care about owen wilson.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's like the death that impacts me the most in this
movie, for some reason, is owenwilson.
You're like man, he has such agood attitude, yeah, like he was
like such a heart of gold.
He was there for it.
You could see him becoming anastronaut.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, yeah he was like the guy was like the most
kind of like excited likeweirdly type of thing.
And then, dude, there's anentire character in the group
that we he like, says two wordsthe whole time and I'm like, why
is he in this movie?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
in the noonan his name's noonan.
I know who you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, he's part of the oil rig team.
Yeah, you're not even sure he'sin the movie.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
This is my point, I can't remember who he is.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I was thinking it was one of the astronauts that
didn't have anything to saynever mind.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Well, there's a few of the astronauts like there's
gruber and then gruber dies atthe end and, you know, noon
there's literally an entire oilrig character that I don't even
think we get to.
Maybe we see him in the montageand get picked up.
He asked he's the guy that,when they're doing their demands
, asked for, like two women, tobe made citizens.
No questions asked oh yeah hehas no picture on imdb.
I just don't know who this guyis and he dies in the rocket

(27:22):
ship.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Highly forgettable, like there's no, there's no.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Like I see, I know him from nothing it's the first
time I think I've ever likeconcentrated on the fact that
there's one of the oil rig guyswas like, oh, we don't care
about this guy at all he is ared shirt.
He dies in the same like thecrash with owen wilson and
everyone's focused on oh, andwe're like yeah, looking at owen
wilson's bloody battered face,we're like oh man and like
Noonan's, yeah, he just dies.

(27:47):
Oh my gosh, I almost like wonderif it's like he was a backup,
Like the original guy theycalled to be their 12th dude
just didn't answer and they'relike who's that new guy on the
rig?

Speaker 1 (27:54):
He's fine.
Ben Affleck vouches for him.
He's like his college, notcollege.
Ben Affleck does great in thismovie.
By the way, he does really wellin this movie.
He does so good.
I don't want to say it does badin this movie.
But it takes them a minute toget into the movie because in
the first act it feels likethey're sleepwalking.
It's Bruce.

(28:14):
Bruce is kind of sleepwalkingthrough a lot of the exposition.
It's not even that he's doingthe John McClane thing.
I'm too good for this.
It feels a little bit like he'slike it's almost like he did
the movie as a favor and he'sjust kind of like I don't know.
And then as he gets into themovie he's like okay, alright, I
could dig into this.
Alright, I found the character.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
I think that's fair.
I think that's a fairassessment.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
There's just a lot of that exposition stuff, like
when he shows up to NASA andBilly Bob Thornton's trying to.
He's like you know I've alreadybeen apologized to for the last
18 hours.
You know, let's just get onwith it, kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
I think it's just like there's just a lot of that
kind of one-liner dialogue inthe first half of the movie.
So it's just like everyone'slines are weighty you know, and
so it's just like it feels likea lot of people are.
But yeah, I get what you'resaying.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
And maybe it's just because bob is like he's.
I didn't.
I was wondering how much billybob was in the whole movie and
he's in it from like thebeginning, yes, through all the
way to the end.
But then, yeah, bruce williscomes in, he's, and he's like
our exposition dump.
Billy bob is, but also like weget his little backstory of like
he was an astronaut, he gothurt, he can't go up and he
wants to go up and that what iswhat motivates bruce willis's
character.
Like give ben affleck the patch.
He's like, give this to him,it's when you get back, kind of
thing.
Yeah, but he does a really goodjob just being like the nasa
for being.
He also is he's billy bobthornton, like he has a hick

(29:30):
accent, you know he's probablynot far off from sling blade and
he's playing a nasa like headof the department and you're
just believable what's weird ishe could have just been bruce
willis's character and we wouldhave just been fine with it.
Yeah, we would be fine with thattoo.
He has an actual texas accent,right rather than like kind of
which.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Like, uh, billy bobs or not billy bobs, bruce's is
more like.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
It's not even like texas, it's more like kentucky
kind of yeah, it's like morelike appalachian south, yeah
kind of accent maybe it'sflorida, I don't know so it's
it's.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
It's an interesting accent, it is it is for sure
billy bob also did a phenomenaljob.
I feel like in this movie hewas great Well there's a lot of
like those.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
I wouldn't I wouldn't even call them character actors
, but there's just like they'renot a list actors, but like you
see them pop up.
Keith David pops up, you know,jessica Steen who plays like the
co-pilot like she's.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
You're just like hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
She's like if I kick you in the balls, what's going
to happen?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Michael Clarke Duncan .
It's so good I go into space,that's right.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
You go into space.
But even William Fichtner doesgreat in his role man, I Nails
it.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Anytime William Fichtner ever comes on any
screen.
I'm like man.
I love William Fichtner.
He's just a grip.
He's a very intense, he's sothe dark knight.
When he shows up like heat,like every you're like, you're.
Suddenly he's one of those guysthat it's like a sam rockwell.
He immediately adds likelegitimacy to a movie.
Yeah, oh my gosh, I love.
I said it last night when I waswatching this.
I was like, oh, willing fingers, he's so good.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
But even like will patton, like he's one that
doesn't get talked about a lot.
He's the one that plays chickuh, but remember the titans.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Any movie he's, he's always that like.
He's always the second guy,he's always the dude to the lead
.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
They all do their roles very well, even though
it's like now they're all noteverybody knows their names, but
they recognize a lot of them.
There's very few people thatdidn't go on to do more work
after this Just Noonan.
Maybe Max.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Max was in that DCOM movie Under Wraps, and I
remember when, I watched it forthe first time and I was like oh
that's the dude, but he's alsoSanta in Home Alone, isn't he?
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
that's right.
Whenever we go in, whenever wego in, max shows up.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
He just shows up in a lot of comedic small things.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, he's just one of those.
He's that guy, yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Ken Campbell's his name.
Some real quick other tidbitsthe movie, the budget was 140
million damn and it made 553.7million worldwide success,
nailed it, you know, end of theworld, everybody.
It came out two months after,or two months or two weeks after
, deep impact.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Remember, this is one of those dual twin movies yeah,
that we talk about all the time.
There had to be like four inthis year alone, probably
because this was the disastermovie era.
Yeah, they were given like howdo we destroy the planet?

Speaker 1 (32:02):
they filmed a lot of it on, uh, the culver city lot
and in the disney studios lotsthey dug in under, I guess they
dug into the earth to likecreate the whole ravines of the
of the asteroid and stuff.
But they also gave them likethree more million more dollars
I think because a deep impact togo shoot some stuff like in
london and stuff which they putin the trailer to make it feel
big and epic.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
because, michael bay's, there's not enough
explosions, I need New York tofall apart Again, though it is
wild that, like they sent peopleall around the world and
someone said Sanger, Texas, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Well, what's wild was like watching the opening
sequence in New York and likethere's all these characters
that we will never see again.
There's a whole sequence whereI can't falling into the hole.
The Empire State Buildingliterally gets its head locked
off.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Who's the comedian?
That's the cab driver I wasjust wondering the same thing I
forget his name.
It was like he had to showsomething with Mr Cooper, I
don't know, but he was like apretty big comedian in the 90s.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Mark Curry.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Is that him?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Is that him?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Because, yeah, he Because, yeah, he's like yeah,
yeah, yeah, it's weird that he'sin a scene.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, they just there's.
There's so many like and thenlike even in the NASA
headquarters like, there's thatcharacter actor that's always in
movies like this and he'stalking to Billy Bob Thornton.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
I'm like he popped up , I was like, of course, that
guy's in the guy that signed thewonders, that thing you do.
That's right In his camper.
It's that guy.
It's that guy, oh my gosh.
Well, then you have JasonIsaacs as well like explaining
the firecracker and the hand andall that man.
He does incredible.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
See.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
He's great.
His one scene's awesome.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Just imagine you put your hand in the firecracker.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
It's so good and the way that he like I don't know
the way he delivers those linesis just fantastic.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Absolutely, absolutely, corey do you want
some useless critic stats?
Dude, give them to me, becauseI think I messed up.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
I'm just trying to like, you're just trying to
catch up, trying to figure itout, questioning life.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
I just hate it when I say things that are wrong on
this podcast.
Oh, never mind, I wasn't wrong.
Mark Curry was the guy fromHanging with Mr Cooper.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
There you go, there you go.
I didn't want't worry Nick Rifffor a bit useless critic stats.
So for IMDB, gives it a 6.7 outof 10.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Rotten Tomatoes a critic of 38% the audience
audience score is 73% you justdon't understand art.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Metacritic got 42 out of 100 for the critics, 6.7.
Also for followers, which isjust 67%.
I don't know why they do that.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Letterboxd is allegedly 2.8 oh well,
letterboxd is a bunch ofcinephiles.
It's becoming that way.
We're getting there.
We gotta get more regular.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
We gotta get some movie people on there.
We gotta get some.
But speaking of which, ourscores.
Ali gives it a 4, I gave it a 4.
Cor, you have not rated it.
I'm going to shame you for yourlack of time on Letterboxd.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Is that at a five Out of five, because I'm not a
cinephile and every time I geton Letterboxd I just see things
that make me mad.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's okay, corey because Ash hasn't scored it
either.
On there.
Taryn has given at allarmageddon.
It's out of five.
Is that out?

Speaker 3 (35:10):
of five out of five.
Out of five, I'd give it four,four, okay, all right, fours
across the board pretty solid.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
It's a solid, strong, great movie there.
I've locked it in.
Okay, I bullied cory into usinghis letterbox um roger ebert
guesses.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Guesses for score.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Guesses for score cory, it's out of four.
Right, it's out of four.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, right it's out of four.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, he's such an enigma.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
I don't know, I know.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
The safe thing is just to go two man Okay, two,
two.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Do I hear more?

Speaker 2 (35:30):
I'm gonna give it a 2.5 2.5, 1.5 out of four stars.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
His quotes, biggest quotes.
The movie is an assault on theeyes, the ears, the brain,
common sense and the humandesire to be entertained.
No matter what they're chargingto get in, it's worth more to
get out.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
It's a movie, damn it .
What are you cops?
He just said, beingentertained's a minus.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
This is the same man who will go watch a horror movie
and be like this is great, thisis cinema.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
It's like they both are.
That's what I'm saying they are.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
I'm like, why are you hating on the Disaster Bee
movie over here?

Speaker 3 (36:01):
I swear, being a critic is just how you felt that
week about life.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Oh, 100% and probably what you watched before that.
He probably watched like OnGolden Pond or something before
that and was like this doesn'tmatch up and that's the other
dumb thing is these guys wouldsit in movie theaters and watch
like five movies a day and it'slike yeah, at some point there's
gotta be a palate cleanser in.
Oh for four Academy Awards forsound effects and original song

(36:27):
Didn't win any of them, but itdid win the MTV for best music
video for a song for Aerosmith.
There's some justice there.
I mean, it was that kind ofmovie, it was a blockbuster
movie.
As we've learned with theOscars blockbusters they don't
care about.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
No, they do not.
There was a time where MTVMovie Awards was like what
normal people watched, it wasour normal people.
Oscars it was.
It went away and now we havenothing.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I'm so mad, like you used to get excited about it.
Oh yeah, Like you'd see who'sgoing to host.
They'll do fun skits and stuff,like it was the who's going to
perform at it.
Yeah oh, we used to be asociety, corey, oh man, and now

(37:10):
we've got all these pretentiouspeople at the Oscars telling us
what movies are.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
We're just asking celebrities what their four
favorite movies are for.
Letterboxd, that's right.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
That Schindler's List , the Godfather one or two, or
they cheat, go both.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Oh my gosh, you know what the Letterboxd videos I
think are hysterical.
I send them to Nick every day.
If I see one, I'm like, checkout this one, because it's so
like.
And they also always go.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Oh, let me think about it, I'm like well, you
clearly don't have a Letterboxd,because if Letterboxd be like,
I was fearing this moment.
It's like then you had time,yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
You knew about it and it's like, oh, because you just
want to sound smart right now,that's what it is.
You're like thinking like, ah,breathless.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
There's a 1972 Argentio movie.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
It's so bad, I will say, oh sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Every time someone says Breathless.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
I just want to punch my phone Breath shitty french
new wave movie.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
I'd watch it for a film class, cory, it's a movie
podcast.
We're losing listeners.
All french new wave was badother than 400 blows.
That was the only.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Okay, okay, all right hot tick or not hot tick, who
knows?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
who knows?

Speaker 1 (38:15):
well, any other thoughts?

Speaker 3 (38:15):
wait, were you gonna say something.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, were you gonna say, I am gonna be completely oh
yeah, I have seen an uptickthough in the letterboxd one
like top fours of people likegiving normal movies like I saw
bennett, like beckham those arethe ones I said nick.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
I'm like, hey look, this person didn't try to
impress somebody yeah exactlylike the team for godzilla minus
one.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
This is just naming, like the matrix back to the
future.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
I'm like I want to party back to the futures on my
top four.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
So my top four is like literally all within four
years of each other, likebetween 85 and 89 that's fair
nice so my letterbox would justbe.
Disappoint those people so badthat's what's honestly gonna be.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
It like your favorite movies are gonna more than
likely be like movies thatmolded you or shaped you in
those formative years, and thenyou'll find like a movie where
it's like wow, that was just areally good movie and I really
like that.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
And it's hard to like compare it to something that is
so meaningful to you as a kidas a teenager as a college or
high schooler it's my dream tobe asked by those people, just
so I can say satan most fire,the lost boys, barry, gordy,
slash, dragon and parenthood,and they're like that's
literally from 85 to 89 andyou're like yep, yeah, I know my
let me ask you a real importantquestion, though, guys is is

(39:18):
this movie the reason thataerosmith had a longer run?
With a lot of reason.
There's a lot of reasons forAerosmith that had a longer run
Okay.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
It's like their career died multiple times.
Right, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Like it didn't really survive the 70s, but then Run
DMC saves their asses.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
And then they write their best albums through the
80s because of hair metal, yeah,this song hates grunge.
I just think grunge is justoverrated it's whatever and so
um, but yeah, like this songdefinitely gave them way more
life it did well.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I just feel like it was like you had like yeah, you
had your 70s run.
It seemed like they got morepopular in the 80s.
You got love and elevatorthings like that.
They were dead on arrival untilrun dhc said like we're gonna,
we've talked about all thesevideos with alicia silverstone
and his daughter live in themand they those were moderate
hits.
But then this one like blew it,blew it out of the water.
And then you get songs likejaded in the early 2000s, the

(40:10):
thing they followed this up witha really stupidly strong album
yeah, just push play so likethey, they somehow find found
new life.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
My favorite thing is there's always been a weird
rivalry between aerosmith andkiss.
Okay, it's just like whatever.
It's like they came up at thesame time and they're just like
whatever.
And they're always compared aslike those quintessential 70s
classic rock bands.
And so Kiss hired Diamond Rainto write them a song.
Oh, yeah.
They were like we need a hit.
We need a hit Because they werepissed that Aerosmith got a

(40:36):
number one song, because that'stheir only number one song ever.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
It's the only bands that kind of had new music
coming out that was actually top40 like listed.
Like I was listening to it as akid growing up and I'm going
like, yeah, that's the newaerosmith song that's
interesting.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
I don't really have an opinion because, I'll be
honest, I don't really know thehistory of aerosmith.
Um, I never my dad neverlistened to them.
I never really listened to themuntil this song came out, and
then this was one of the firstsongs I learned on guitar my mom
, my mom's on a first name basis, was steven tyler, so I went
with gory to his aerosmithconcert.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Interesting, yeah, we saw them, and so it was fun
because they played here induray and you and you and you
start listening to the songs andI was like I know a couple of
their songs and then you're like, oh yeah, they did that song.
Oh yeah, I know a lot moreAerosmith songs than I thought.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
See, maybe I need to pull them up on my Spotify and
listen to them.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
I stood next to my dad and watched my mom kiss
Steven Tyler on the mouth.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
And I was just like this is weird, oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
So I was just like all right, whatever, I don't
know it's just being cucked bySteve.
You start thinking about likeall the times my dad's made
jokes about like that.
I'm not really a son, becauseall my family's blonde and I
have black hair and like nothing.
I'm the black sheep, I'm likeso are you live Tyler's secret.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Tyler, Like my dad we're learning a lot today on
the podcast, oh my goodness.
Well, do you have any otherthoughts guys?

Speaker 3 (42:09):
before we start talking about like casting.
I think we've covered a lot,but we can cover, we can
continue to cover more as we'recasting, obviously.
Yeah, I, I don't know, I do, I,I my, I guess my question is
this like the best disastermovie.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
I I this is a tough one for me, because I do really
enjoy disaster movies, um, but I, I, I really do love this one.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
I love this more than deep impact we got to define
what a disaster movie is.
Well, that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
I was looking it up earlier because I was curious
about what other disaster movieshave come out since then and I
went on Wikipedia, which don'tjudge me, but it broke it down
into alien invasions and thennatural disasters and it broke
it down that way and I was likeI didn't really think about that
, about disaster movies alsobeing alien invasions, but it
makes sense yeah, I I normallywouldn't put, I would just put
that under sci-fi in its ownkind of realm, because it's, it

(42:49):
is a intelligent species doingsomething that's fair.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
I don't know, I'm kind of.
My thing is this.
I think, like when you get intolike your independence days or
your world of worlds, I wouldcall them disaster movies,
because it's like a, it's wipingout the planet, yeah, okay,
type of thing.
Yeah, you know and so, yeah,that's kind of where I'm like I
would classify them.
My other thing, though, is likeI honestly sometimes think on
like smaller scale though,because I'm like does the whole
world have to be in danger?

(43:13):
Yeah isn't twister, a disastermovie?

Speaker 1 (43:15):
don't we just watch tornadoes, just wreck shop?
Isn't titanic a disaster movie?
Yeah?
Poseidon adventure yeah, that'sone of my favorite movies.
You've got got things like theDay After Tomorrow.
Yeah, and 2012, which is thisweirdly?

Speaker 3 (43:26):
underrated John Cusack disaster movie I need to
re-watch that.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
I've watched that in theaters.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
I re-watched it recently.
Is it solid?
This is a good time.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
I'll have to watch it .
And then Geostorm was alsopretty good.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Gerard.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Butler.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
I liked that one, and then there was that newer one
that came out moon, something, Ican't remember what it was the
moonfall or whatever which I didnot like the moon's just gonna
crash into us.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
It was very well, that's.
That's emery.
That was emery trying tocapitalize again on on disaster
movies.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
It was too much.
It was too.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
But you, I, mean, yeah, like, and the disaster
movie's been around for a while.
Like cory pointed out, poseidonadventure towering inferno is
one from the 70s volcano anybodyremember tommy lee jones?

Speaker 3 (44:02):
there was acano Just comes up in LA.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
There were whole rides In Universal Studios About
Earthquake and Volcano.
I think, yeah, I remember theEarthquakes Dante's Peak,
dante's.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Peak.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Volcano timeout.
I was traumatized.
From that scene In the tunnels,when the train stops and
there's a bunch of men I don'trecall it perfectly.
There's a bunch of men and theyhave their little flashlights
and they're trying to save thepeople on the train and that one
dude picks up the woman andthen he tries to jump over the
lava and he doesn't make it andhe just starts burning from the
up and I mean and it's not.

(44:32):
He's another character actorwho's in like everything and I
forget his name he was yeah, butoh my god he was in zodiac, I'm
pretty sure okay it was thatguy.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Oh, like john krasinski's, like uncle, I don't
remember that okay but it wastraumatizing because, yeah, you
got like natural disasters,volcanoes, earthquakes,
tornadoes and then there's yeah,like you talk about, the aliens
are one, and I keep seeing theykeep bringing up stuff like
invasion of the body, snatchers,and I don't think I would
classify that living dead, likeI feel like zombie has become
its own yeah, I don't, Iwouldn't consider that.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
It's kind of like alien.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
I mean, it is talking , it's like a thing that was
happened because of like humanfallacy and like error, but at
the same time it's there's justa lot more going on I think a
disaster movie is like based onthe fuji sake scale right how
much gets destroyed, okay, allright, all right, because it's
like if we see tons of crap justgetting destroyed, I think that
counts, because in zombiemovies it's all right, we've
already destroyed everything.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, we're post usually post it's a post
disaster movie.
Yeah, destroyed everything.
Yeah, we're post usually postdisaster movie.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Yeah, the ones that take place during, like the
initial outbreak, and those areoften kind of enclosed like uh,
harry's I don't know if you callit wreck or rec or whatever oh,
yeah, that one's pretty intenseit's so good, I watched it last
year that's a good one.
That is a good movie but do youconsider something like the
core a disaster movie?
I guess it is.
It's like it's like the ininverted uh, armageddon, like
the earth's gonna blow up, orlike stop spinning erin

(45:48):
eckhart's in it, like they haveto go into the, basically have
to reignite the earth's core tolike save everybody, it's okay.
Hillary swank's in it, delroylindo director joe emile I don't
even know what this man hasdone, but yeah, disaster movies
are like interesting becauselike they are b movies and I
feel like in the 90s they gottheir big push between Titanic
and Independence Day and eventhis Armageddon Deep Impact.

(46:09):
You got a double whammy there.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
And with the advent of CGI you don't get the impact
of them as much.
Now it's like well, we'll justmake the volcano blow up in CGI
and you're like, but that ruinshalf the movie.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
You're not in it.
You're not, it's not tangent,you can't reach out and the lava
is not right there.
It's just whatever, like.
It's kind of like the problemwith the Marvel movies Everybody
talks about.
It's like I'm just watching avideo game and what they really
mean is like there's no stakesor there's there's no
believability that what I'mwatching has any.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
I'm trying to think, ever since y'all talked about
moonfall, there's some otherpiece of art where a moon
crashes into a planet.
I mean Star Wars that's howChewbacca dies in the expanded
universe he literally savesHan's son and throws him on the
ship and leaves him in the moon,a way better.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Actual death for Chewbacca.
We don't need to get into it,nick, I'm gonna get triggered.
Wait is Chewbacca.
We don't need to get into it.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
Nick, I'm going to get triggered.
Wait, is Chewbacca dead?

Speaker 2 (47:08):
No, no, I think he's dead for 30 seconds, for 30
seconds, and then they do it tolike three or four other
characters where they're like oh, they're dead, just kidding,
it's so annoying, it's soannoying Because there's
meetings in rooms where they'relike.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
I hate JJ Abrams Anyway he made one good movie.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
He made one good movie Corey.
Wait, what's the one good movie?
It's Mission Impossible 3.
Oh okay, I was like.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
I like Super 8.
Wait, cloverfield.
Oh, cloverfield is pretty solid, he didn't make Cloverfield.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Who made Cloverfield?

Speaker 2 (47:36):
He produced Cloverfield, are you sure?

Speaker 1 (47:37):
I'm pretty sure Cloverfield Okay good job, matt
Reeves.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Don't you sully the name of Cloverfield with that
Steven Spielberg hack.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Corey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Anyway, are you guys ready tocast this?
I have one more question.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Okay, and this goes back to my comment that this
movie's too long and some stuffshould have ended up on it.
And I think the most MichaelBay scene, and I don't know what
France did to him.
It's just the random ass.
We're in like the third act,we're about to blow this comet
up and they're like, oh, somemore meteor shower and Paris is
gone it's been evisceratedthere's that panning like shot

(48:20):
of, like just fire and smoke, itgoes back to the whole idea
that I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Like it's a very like , weirdly nationalist kind of
movie, like America hoorah.
Kind of movie, because, likeeveryone is inept, like oh, they
helped a little bit, but we'renot giving, we're not gonna show
any credit yeah, from anybodyelse like they're lucky.
They're lucky that he didn'tblow up the world trade centers
in that opening sequence oh,this movie would have been
definitely a scene of them onfire oh yeah, I forgot about
that, because you go I must havemissed it.

(48:47):
No, it's like it's after it it'sand they're both there like on
fire and you're like in, likethe top third.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
I just saw, I just saw empire state fall and I was
like damn, it's a good thing hedidn't go for the towers oh my
gosh, though it's, uh, it waswild, um, but like um, I but
like that scene and it's, it's,it's been like my last 10
watches of it always bugs me,because hitting New York, that
makes sense, that's driving thestory.
We are now looking in the skyfor something, and then it hits

(49:13):
Tokyo or it hits Japan andthat's how the world finds out.
But then we're like, an hourlater, we're just like, and
France is gone.
I don't even know why anotherrock came in.
It's like, nope, we're watchingthe sky, yeah, because there's
a Texas-sized asteroid coming atus.

(49:34):
And we're like France, france,like nobody.
They can't call and say France,evacuate, because we're
watching now.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
We think about too, like Earth's rotating, yeah, and
what they were explaining inthat like there was the whole
asteroid belt got messed with,and that's where this, this yeah
, it goes through an asteroidbelt, yeah, sends a bunch of
debris, so like the debris iscoming through, so like if
you're like rotating towards,like if you know like okay,
we're in its window now, likethat's probably telling you like
I need to like buckle down orget out or whatever.
But what can you do?
Like the Earth's rotating, yeah, you don't know where the

(50:04):
debris is gonna hit, when it'sgonna hit, especially stuff
that's small that's exactly whatI was about to bring a massive
rock just nails paris yeah, oh,it does, and I mean the whole
city.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
And to me, I'm like this should have been on the
cutting room floor, because it'slike now, it's like pessimistic
, it's like oh well, they didn'tget there in time to save
france oops, sorry, friends itfelt like intentional that
michael bay just crowbarredscene.
In the end it's like I'm gonnatake out paris why?

Speaker 1 (50:30):
why does america hate france?
I don't know.
It's very strange they seemdelightful I just I hate french
new wave.
I mean I know I've heard like Iknow I've heard like the whole
thing about like oh, they'rerude and stuff, but it's like,
yeah, you're americans, you'reloud and annoying yeah, you're
also a dick too, like you're thebiggest dick in the world like
most americans that I see whenI'm traveling abroad, they just

(50:50):
they don't really have respectfor their surroundings and stuff
, and everyone else is veryquiet and respectful of each
other.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
So I don't, I don't know I need a cinephile to tell
me if france has made a disastermovie where america just gets
wiped out.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
They're like another one, yeah because they've been
allies since the revolutionarywar.
But the internet's saying thatcultural differences, political
disagreement and historicaltensions have led to periods of
friction.
I'm like where Frenchopposition to the Iraq War, yeah
, Sounds like they're on theright side of history, guys.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
France really bailed us out of the Revolutionary War
too, so they kind of came in.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
I'm cool with you, France.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
I am mad that you got wiped out in this movie.
I, france, I.
I am mad that you got wiped outin this movie.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
I thought it was dumb .
It's a weird beat in the movie.
It is it's way too late,apparently.
Apparently it's a a playfulhatred and rivalry towards each
other, but I just, maybe we'rejust only seeing one half of it,
but it doesn't seem very itdoesn't see very one-sided, or
yeah?

Speaker 3 (51:38):
they, they, they.
It was, that was we hadamerican fries and then they
like they were against the waron terror, right, and that's
when everyone started sayingfreedom fries for a minute.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
They said there were no Iraqi pilots on the planes
that hit the World Trade Center.
This doesn't make sense, ohdamn.
So they were sassy about it.
They were sassy about it.
Okay, I like it.
I mean, I'm being sassy aboutit, Okay, hey whatever.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Either way, France, we're with you.
Vive la France.
So yeah, that, yeah, that's allI wanted to bring up.
It just upset me, that's fair.
I just I was like I made thatas a notice.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Like I'm going to bring up why we just wipe out
France like near the end of themovie.
Cause, fuck them.
That's why, Dang, I do have onequestion, I promise, and then
we can cast no, go ahead, goahead.
Did either of you cry at theend?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
This time, or at didn't catch that.
Um, no, like either any of thetimes, or did you at least like
well, up a little bit?
I'm just curious about the maleperspective from the from
growing up younger.
Like it was a very large impactof a movie for me, like, I
think, like it was the firstlike big epic kind of movie
where you could insert yourselfas like the character, whether

(52:39):
it's bruce willis saving theworld, kind of being a martyr,
it's ben affleck and his romancewith liv tyler, like there's
plenty of different people inthere where it's like, oh, I'd
be him.
It's the first time I watched amovie and was really like, oh,
I'd be that guy or I'd be thatguy Gotcha.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
So I think, yeah, I think there's a definite
connection.
I wouldn't say I like cried atthe end, but you feel things.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
For sure, you feel things.
Yeah, I think it just wereparts of my life.
I think the first time Iwatched it I cried.
Okay, I mean like I don't likebawling but it was like that was
emotional.
I love my dad, like I'm like,I'm a big fan of my father, like
my biggest fear in life is hisdeath, you know, and so like it.
Oh no, my dad.
And this, that's something mydad would do.

(53:26):
He would like kick my ass andthrow me back in the pod and go
blow himself up.
And so that's a, that's a my dadkind of move.
So I was like all right, I seeit, I see that, and then, uh,
it's a dad move, and I think Iwatched Armageddon during that
period of time, like Kevin Hill,you know Kevin Hill and I think
I watched it and I was likeKevin Hill would do this for me.

(53:48):
I know he would.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
I'm damn proud of you .
You took my daughter's hand.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
And I was just like he would totally do that.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Is he class act?
Yeah, I love you, kevin.
And so like I think, watch it,you gotta watch it.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
No, it's on my.
Whatever streaming service it'son, I've gotta add it to the
list.
It's in this realm.
Oh so when I need to just cry,there's not the big romantic
angle.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
That's not like a continuous thread through the
whole movie but there is someaspect of it to get home to see
his daughter that he's never metman and that's that's the
thread yeah, okay and so, um,but yeah, so, but like it's
weird because out of all thetimes I've seen this movie,
those are only two times,because I was like I think the
first time it's gonna get youthe rest of I'm like not really,
unless I'm just in a momentsure, sure and so do you cry

(54:38):
every time?

Speaker 1 (54:38):
I?

Speaker 2 (54:38):
cry but it really doesn't take a whole lot to make
me cry in a movie.
I'm'm very sensitive and veryemotionally like, I don't know,
engaged or I guess, I'm justengaged in my emotions, and so,
yeah, no, I cry every singletime.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
But I think that speaks to the movie's
effectiveness.
Like we, all we all feelsomething on some level.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
This is true Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
You know we joke about.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Michael Bay and explosions mentioned earlier.
It has a lot of heart.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
It does the heartbeat of america trying to think the
hardest.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
I've ever cried in a movie oh, mine was mine was
arrival I had a arrival, or themist the most or the first time?

Speaker 3 (55:12):
I'm trying to think the most I've ever cried like
the hardest I've ever cried in amovie say the rival, yeah, dude
, that's one, the charlie sheenmovie no, no, the one with amy
adams, okay, I was like noarrival's, just a weird movie.
No, from the 90s.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
No, I had like an existential crisis After that
movie and was thinking aboutlike, oh my gosh, I only see my
parents once a year.
I have this many years.
It was bad.
It was a really bad.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
It was the other one.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
The Mist, but I don't want to spoil it.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
But the Mist messed me up, the Mist pissed me off.
I wrote Stephen King a letter,did you really, oh my gosh.
Because the ending of hisbook's better and I was mad that
he liked the ending of themovie.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
So I was like what the hell man?

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Don't support this.
So, Armageddon, armageddon.
Sorry, we're just having amoment, nick.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
We're trying to connect.
Yeah, geez, Nick.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
I don't ever get to see Cory happens every once in a
while and it's like the cloudywith a chance to get back in
their tear.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
oh my gosh, I think I think walk to remember, messed
me up.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Oh, that's fair, that's a rough one, I think that
one messed, I think.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
When I saw it I was like I don't know what was going
on.
But I think that one hit mehard I think I like had like a
real bad breakdown after that,yeah, I don't think I've ever
watched it again.
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
I was like I think things like it's a wonderful
life or like, even hook, like,like, especially because those
are types of movies that as youget older, like your perspective
changes.
You're no longer watching itfrom the kids viewpoint, you're
watching it from robin'sviewpoint or hook's viewpoint.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
It makes you think about stuff remember we went to
the theater to watch southpawyeah, I cried in southpaw but I
was like shaking, well, we alsowould.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
That movie was just emotional you're just like.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
I haven't seen that either, that, and les and Les
Mis.
Oh, les Mis.
Les Mis broke us.
I saw Les Mis, we watched Anne.
Hathaway on 50 feet of her facesinging to us and I had just
gotten dumped and Nick's likelet's go to the movies.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
We could have watched my Bloody Valentine, but nope.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Nope, Nick's like let's watch Les Mis, and I'm
like this is why am I here, man,it's okay, there's something
similar, because Nick Christieand I went to go watch
everything everywhere all atonce.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
right after mine I turned to look at them and go
great movie right, and they'reboth bawling and ugly crying and
I'm like I've made a mistake.
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
If you're ever going through it, don't hang out with
Nick.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
We're going to go watch Requiem for a Dream, guys.
Have you heard of it?
Schindler's Risk before right.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Can we do Requiem for a Dream on this podcast?
Can?

Speaker 2 (57:25):
we recast that?
Oh gosh, that would be so dark.
It's the only movie I've castJay Baruchel in.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
It's like I want to see Jay Baruchel go through it,
man.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Oh my gosh Lose an arm.
Alright, okay, I'm ready, I'mready.
Oh, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
So, like we said, corey, it's fast and loose
season.
We're just having fun, we'recasting, we're casting.
We all aren't picking like aparticular year, right, so we're
all going our own way.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Yeah, I mean we're all just going to cast
Armageddon in our own way.
Cool, I did Titanic withMuppets.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Right, and I told you you couldn't do Muppets twice,
even though it's so easy.
It's like the perfect templateto start with.
You're like well, that would behim and Rizzo and Gonzo.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
And by then you've got 30 people cast, and it's
super easy.
I'm going to request permissionto read my Muppet list.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Allie, what are you going to go with?

Speaker 2 (58:17):
So I initially had one idea that just shocked me
yesterday at 11 pm and I thoughtit was genius.
And then I woke up this morningand I was like I'm not a huge
fan of this, so I made a backuplist and.
I am going with 2018 because Ilooked through our podcast, or
the podcast and 2018, there'sonly one episode that you guys
have recast in 2018.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
What is?

Speaker 2 (58:38):
that that's an excellent question that I should
have been prepared for the LastDragon.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Oh, hell, yeah, that's what it was.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
It was the Last Dragon All.
Oh, hell, yeah, that's what itwas.
It was the last dragon guys.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Wow, I did, I did all right, so you're gonna do 2018,
I'm going 2018.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Okay, cory what are you choosing to do?
I made three lists for thismovie okay so I'll let you tell
me you want to hear a 1990 listor a 2025 list?

Speaker 1 (58:59):
that's tough um ali.
What do you think what's moreintriguing to you?

Speaker 2 (59:04):
well, I feel like, since this movie was made, I
don't know I'm conflictedbecause since this movie was
made, I don't know I'mconflicted Because since this
movie, came out in 98.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
I'll do 90.
That way we're not likecrossing each other's toes.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
That's good.
I was going to say there's twodifferent ways we could.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
Well, I'm glad you both took it seriously, because
I did something different.
Yes, I am going to cast thismovie with actors that have only
appeared or are connected tothe Adam Sandler verse oh heck,
yes, the Billy Madison movies,the Billy.
Madison movies, just anythingAdam Sandler.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Oh, okay, so you're even going beyond the Billy
Madison version.
Okay, yeah, we'll have some funwith it, I think.
Happy Madison.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Happy Madison.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
I stepped outside a little bit of it, okay.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
So yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
Rob Schneider, adam Sandler, anybody?
No, no, no, no no, thecharacters Corey.
Wait, I might have one.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
You might have cast Rob Schneider.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
No.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
So I think I'm going to guess Ihave the most cast members Hold
on.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
You want me to count?
Yeah, count real quick, I have14.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
I don't know how many I have.
I have 15.
Oh my god, I definitely don'thave both of those.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
I'm curious who you thought belonged in the movie
that I did not.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Don't worry, guys, we'll get through this quickly,
we promise.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Yeah, because we don't.
Well, there's no, there's norules, there's no director,
there's no incisive Nick, that'sright, having a panic attack,
it's not Ali, choosing betweenour cast list.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
We're all going to present a cast list and then you
guys are free to go on oursocial media at Quantum Recast
and tell us what you thoughtabout the cast list or who was
your favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Yeah, make your own.
Yeah, or make your own, do a1985 cast list yeah, so easy,
why don't?

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
you do it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Ruin a bottom of mine .

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
You start at the bottom of yours and if we have
it, we'll join in.
We'll work our way up.
That sounds good.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
So what I do have, and I'll just go from bottom to
top I have the president for aquick cameo, thing that probably
was not on your list.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Wait, do we want to read the whole thing or I don't
want to think?

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
about a 2018 president to be honest.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
You would have handled that poorly.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
That's not up there.
So my cinematic president andwe're going somewhere in the
early 2010s, probably 2010 to2015,.
Probably for this Adam Sandlerverse.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Really Okay, because he has to be old enough Spoiler
he's Bruce.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
Willis' character Really Okay, cause he's has to
be old enough, spoiler.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
He's Bruce Willis's character, so he's the lead, all
right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
So it's it's kind of like Muppets you pick your human
and then you build them up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
It's around.
They just blew it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
Well, anyway, I'm guessing everyone was going to
guess it anyway, but we'llkicking off Henry Winkler.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Oh, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Okay, that's a good one, I like that, yeah, he's
going to be likable, but thenhe's going to kind of be
unlikable when he decides to tryto, you know, blow up the bomb
before they start drilling fully.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
Because he's like the resident vet, yeah Of the Billy
Madison.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Yeah, he's, he's, he's.
Would have been him or BlakeClark.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
But then from there I have.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Hold on.
Do you have a president?
I have a president.
I don't have a president In1990?
Wait, you just said it was.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I'm joking, okay, all right, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
My president in a 1990 Armageddon is Leslie
Nielsen, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
I mean, he did play the president in Scary Movie 3
and Scary Movie 4.
But I want him to go.
I'm just giving him a seriousrole, gotcha, and he's going to
do it.
Okay, all right.
All right, I'm here for it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
It's just that voice he's got a good, deep, stoic
voice he does.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
He's got some glasses on him.
It's going to be a very, veryhuge, huge change up for.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
And he's serious in like airplane and stuff.
I mean he plays it seriously.
So I mean I think that's solid.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Just don't ask him if he's serious.
That's the only rule.
Surely, surely.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Oh gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
All right.
Next I have Dr Ronald Quinley,who's played by Jason Isaacs Did
anybody do Jason Isaacs?

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
That's the guy I didn't do.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Okay, that's the one you didn't do by rice ivans,
who's from little nicky?
He was the bad brother who wentup to earth to try to take over
it is he?

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
he's the lizard in the spiderman.
Okay, he's a kicker in thereplacement.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
He's also the kicker in the yeah, that's what I know,
and he's luna lovegood's dad inthe harry potter well, there
you go.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
So if I'm not wait, maybe not.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
I mean, I would have believed you otherwise yeah you
can tell us that and we'll,we'll go with it I'm pretty sure
that's him, though we are notPotterheads, you know what I am,
though.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
I'm doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Do it.
I don't know what you're doing.
It was Rice Ivins.
Hey, look at me go.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
What's this character's?

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
name Dr Ronald Quindley.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
I'm just going to write Dr Ron or.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Quincy.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
I'm going to give you one in 1990, right now it's
Harold Ramis.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
Interesting, okay, you're going very Independence
Day with this.
I see, okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
I like it, I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Okay, okay, he's not independent.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
I was like who is he in Independence Day?
He reminds me of the scientistfrom Independence Day I was like
what?
All right, all right, it wasgoing to be him or Rick Moranis.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
Harold Ramis wrote a lot of movies, like with, with
bill murray, like animal house.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
He was an animal.
Yeah, no, he wrote it.
Oh, he wrote animal house.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
Right, right, right, okay.
Um, next up we have generalkimsey, who's played by keith
david.
You all know him as the voicefrom the villain in princess and
the frog.
He is in the thing among manyother voice actor movies, tons
of stuff range damn, you had himdown low.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
I have him like halfway up my cast well, he's
just.
He's just the military standardhe's like we gotta do the thing
, but but he makes him, but he'she does enough to nuance to
make it likable.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
Like when he gets the call from the president to bomb
him, his first move is like yougotta get those guys off there.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Like yeah, you know, honestly, the last, this last
watch is the first time I thinkI ever noticed that he does do a
lot of subtle like I hate beingthe bad guy here.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
He's not, he's not, he's not.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
One note yeah, he like, even like, uh he.
He is like, when the presidentfirst call him, he actually
tries to argue.
He says, but you know, butdon't you think we just wait
yeah I was like I've neverreally noticed that he does kind
of fight this and doesn't wantto do this.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
He's kind of telling him, like I don't have a hand in
, like yeah, I'm trying, I tried, so it it does a good job, like
subverting that trope of themilitary guy's like get out of
my way, we'll handle this theright way, kind of thing.
Yeah, but it makes thepresident look like a dick,
which he was in this moment, ohman.
That's the rock president, somy president for the
Sandlerverse, or, I'm sorry, myGeneral Kimsey is Christopher

(01:05:19):
McDonald.
Yeah, I love it Shooter.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
McGavin himself I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
I love that.
It's a little redemptive momentfor him in the Sandlerverse, so
he's going to get to play thehard-nosed guy that's going
against him.
But he's not so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
I love Chris Rimmel.
He would play that so well, Ilove him.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
He's such a good actor he is I need to cast him
in more.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
All right, I have a General Kimsey, all right, from
Top Gun.
From Top Gun.
Yeah, alien, who does he playin?

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
Top Gun Any like Mavericks, Best friend right.
No, he's not, it's the main guywith the mustache, the higher
up guy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Goose.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
No, that's who I was thinking of You're talking about
.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
His superior Tom.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
Skerritt.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
How do you spell Skerritt?
S-k-e-r-r-i he's like thehusband, that's like shooting
the.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
I know who you're talking about yeah, yeah, yeah,
River runs through it.
He's an alien.
Yeah, he's Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
I know who you're talking about.
He's in Top Gun.
Right, I'm not crazy, Okay, I'mlike.
You guys are making me go crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
He's basically the Maverick in the Top Gun movie.
Gotcha that Maverick is in theTop Gun Maver movie it was fun
to my hometown.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Fun fact anyways, oh yeah, the more you know.
Hey, top gun tom's okay that's.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
That's.
That's good.
Like the mustache works like hehe come, he's already in a
military movie, so, yeah, thatworks.
Like sometimes you just playwhat you know, cory.
Yeah, all right, I have oscarplayed by owen wilson next.
Does anybody have oscar?

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
you have oscar, you got oscar, I have oscar.
So it's funny because youmentioned that shot of him on
the horse with the helicopterbehind and I was like you know
what would be really fun towatch this or watch play him?
It's Josh Hartnett and I feellike he could kind of play like
the aloof kind of like goingalong with it with the cowboy
hat and like riding the horse.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Maybe that's just a dream of mine to see.
In general, this has got somegray hair a little bit Josh
Hartnett.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
That's exactly what I was thinking A little salt and
pepper.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
I think it'd be good.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
His pearl snaps slightly open.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Well, and I want the Josh Hartnett renaissance to
happen earlier on.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Just trying to kickstart it.
I'm trying to kickstart it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
That's my goal here.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Okay, I see that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
I actor in overall.
Yes, so it's gonna hurt when hedoes bite the dust in the movie
.
Yep, exactly, and imagine himsaying the whole jethro toll, uh
, uh line where he's like, andthey said that jethro toll is
just a band and like nobodyknows who he is.
It would be great, he'd begreat at that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
Also the conversation with ben affleck's aj was like
have you seen star wars?

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
yeah, exactly, yeah, it'd be perfect I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
I do like that, cory, who's your oscar?

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
my, my Oscar in 1990, I went so in this.
This is like we're discoveringOwen Wilson, right yeah, Because
I can't think of much beforethis.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
It's all the.
I think, yeah, it's early on,it's like Bottle Rocket.
It's the Wes Anderson thing,you know.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
And so I'm going with someone on their way out.
Oh, you know, they've alreadykind of peaked.
Okay, I'm going.
Judd Nelson.
Judd Nelson Okay In 1990, hestill kind of got his long hair.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
I'm just going to let him have it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
I'm not saying I'm surprised, I'm going to be upset
when he dies.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
I just need to put someone there.
I'm going to be upset when theydie, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
So to answer your earlier question Bottle Rocket
Cable Guy Anaconda.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
But he's not.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
It's not big yet anaconda is probably the biggest
thing behind a bottle rocketanaconda well, yeah, he like
we've talked about this.
He like leaves his girlfriendout there.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, he totally signs withjohn voight.
He does, he does, he does okay.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
So I for my own will sense, because he's he's very
much the happy-go-lucky man.
I'm just along for the ride,isn't this cool kind of
character in the sandler verseI'm giving you Peter Dante, he's
the one that talks like this alittle bit guys Like, he's just
like the kind of the, the idiotof the group a little bit.
He's like oh, that guy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
Okay, for a second I thought you're like the cab
driver or the limo driver fromwedding singers Like Whoa Nick
chicken guy.
Have you seen Grandma's BoyAlley?
No, it's the strongestnon-Sandler, happy Madison movie

(01:09:15):
.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Peter Dante oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's like the hot
guy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Yeah, I do, okay, he is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
Yeah, you got to speak out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Yeah, it's the hot guy.
I don't know how to take that.
I think he's out though.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
I think they kicked him.
Well, he dies anyway.
He's like I'll put you in halfthe movie.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
He's like I'll do that If you're doing this around
2010, 2015, he's still in.
Yeah, you're good, he's stillin.
He hasn't come out as a badperson yet.

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
But yeah, I think he, just like I was sitting there
watching it and like everythingOwen Wilson was like Peter Dante
could say this and it would behilarious.
Yeah, it almost beat for beat,the same way in tone and it
still works Like think longestyard, like how?
That's a little more serious,but it's still very happy,
madison.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
Like that's the tone almost.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
And so, like also, I'm going to say this why does
he have so many parking ticketsIn so many States?

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
he doesn't play by the rules, Corey it's such a
weird too many handicap spots.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
It's a fun scene where they're all like, mainly,
it's just the punchline at theend they don't want to pay taxes
ever again.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
A hundred percent Like no the government.
I'm not paying the governmentanything anymore.
From now on you're paying meExactly and so like it's fine
his arm.
When he walks in the bar he'slike, yeah, I was on that ship.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
You're going to win every conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
You're ever in.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
I went to space Life's great, but they're doing
the things.
Part of me wonders if theactors just came up with their
own.
And I'm just like does OwenWilson have a deep backstory
about this man?
Just his inability to park?
They don't have to say traffictickets, it's parking tickets.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
I'm telling you there's too many handicapped
spots.
Where's he?

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
parking and like why is he not learning his lesson 57
.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
In seven states.
How are they going to catch him?
He goes from town to town parksin the Walmart.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
He sounds like a serial parking bar.
He probably lives off.
Yeah, oh yeah, like parking inthe handicapped spot and like
and then not paying and justmoves on to the next town.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
He's an oil man.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
Thriller.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
They don't stay in one spot, they go somewhere for
two weeks come back, call it aday.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
It's the one guy we never see drive a car too.
He rides a horse, A horse.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
That's why he has to ride a horse.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
He can't get pulled over because the horse doesn't
have a license on the back.
That's what it is.
He's lost his license, so he'son horses.
Okay, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
All right, good in your guys, that's valid all
right moving on.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
Co-pilot jennifer watts, played by jessica steen,
did anybody anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
I did watts okay because I was like she's the
only other woman, it's only twowomen in this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Two women, and I didn't cast her.
They don't talk to each other.
Hold on, speak to each otherdotty, there's three.
Oh, the wife the wife, yeah,the wife that he calls a raging
bitch or something like that ablood-sucking bitch from which
there's no escape.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Wait, are we talking about Bruce Willis' wife?
Are we talking about Chick'swife?

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
No, the guy up front, the guy who names the comet,
the astronomer that finds thecomet, he calls his wife See.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
There's just too many side characters that have no
purpose other than like hey, Ihave a fun idea for a scene with
this guy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
Okay, but yeah than it'd be, I got Chick's wife too.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Okay, Jessica Steen's character co-pilot, Jennifer
Watts.
Anybody want to take it?

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
I did it Okay In 1990 , I'm giving it to Jamie Lee
Curtis.
Jamie Lee Curtis.
Okay, just because I can hearsee that's the cadence of the
scene of if I were to kick youin the balls right now.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Yeah, she's playing Watts.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
And maybe since we got Jamie Lee maybe we're going
to give her a bigger role, Alittle bit more going on.
Maybe we'll write some morescenes for her.
Maybe she's the one thatactually fixes the ship, instead
of letting Peter Stonemaierjust beat the shit out of the
computer like Fonzie.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Oh, it's so good.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
I picked from there's plenty of women in the
Sandlerverse because AdamSandler just likes to pick
attractive women to play assignificant others In exotic
locations.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
But I'm going to give you a throwback, bridget Wilson
.

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
Oh, Veronica Vaughn.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Veronica Vaughn.
Veronica Vaughn was a big dealto every man, every kid my age
in third grade.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
You're like oh, my teacher does not look like
Because she was Sonya Blade inMortal Kombat.
She's so hot and Last ActionHero.
And Last Action Hero she's thedaughter that's right, she's got
those action chops.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
She can hang with the boys.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
She's not scared it was definitely a period of my
life where that was my biggestcrush.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
Of course that's totally valid babe, but no
that's solid for Watts.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Yeah, yeah, I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
Do you have a co-pilot?
I?

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
don't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Okay, it's okay, it's all right If you were to just
throw it out there.
Oh gosh, I have no idea From2018.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
I know you were playing a little bit by the
rules by trying to cast a littlebit.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I'm a don't really know who I would I'll give you a
minute.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
We'll come back to it .
Okay, so the two feminists onthe podcast are the guys.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
The one's keeping score.
I just want to cast hot guys.
She didn't think watts wasworth it, wow my bad moving on
to I got max.
Next, do you have a?

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
max.
I probably have everyone youhave from here on.
Okay, I couldn't find a max.
I did have trouble finding amax.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
I'll go first uh max played by ken ken campbell.
Alliteration there um dies theother main of the group to die
that we were like, we're like ohno, but he dies, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
It's a tragic death, it is because it's also when he
dies.
They lost their hope, yeah,they lose the drill armadillo.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Which why wouldn't you build the armadillo to like
attach itself to the ground?

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
because like it does, did he, did he detach, and
that's what blew like I thinkit's one of the pipes that was
actually attaching went in.
I don't know, when you watchArmageddon log in enough times,
you're kind of like there's alot about drilling.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
I don't know that they just assume I know how many
transmissions am I supposed tohave?

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
How big are they?
Could we not get more on theship, as many as possible?

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
on the ship.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
At least two per ship would have been smart on the
ship, like as many as possibleon the ship.
At least two per ship wouldhave been smart, or it's like
how many, or do we have at?

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
nasa just put them all on there on the ship, or was
there a warehouse?

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
guy saying like we, we're gonna need a weight issue
cory, there's a weight issuewith the ship that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
That's true um I picked for mine.
Who did I pick?
Who is this?
Oh uh, I think I spelt his.
I think I mixed people Kevin.
I picked Kevin, Not Kevin Hart.
Kevin.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Mall.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Cop.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Kevin James.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
I put Kevin Wilson.
I was like that's not right.
Kevin James for Max.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Oh, that's a good one .

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
It's also going to make him a more relevant
character Because of hisproximity to Sandler.
And then when he dies, you'relike well, crap.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
It is sad and he screams Harry.
Oh man're like well crap.
Yeah, it is sad.
It is sad and he screams Harry,right before he dies.
He does scream Harry.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
Oh man, you could tell there was a bond there, he
also kind of had a father figurewith him a little bit?

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
It's sad, it's very sad and we kind of like Kevin
James a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
I mean, I don't have a problem with all of them.
Here Comes the Boom was great.
Accidentally, here's the Boomwas weirdly one of those movies
where, like that was better thanthat should have been.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
It's 100%.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
I saw Adam Sandler play and Kevin James just showed
up Nice and David Spade, I wasway more excited about David
Spade, though.

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
That's fair.
That's fair, kuzco.
Yeah, corey, I'll let you gofirst.
You don't have a max.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
You have to hear me out, though I'm not trying to
tread on your Sandlerverse here,but he just joined Saturday
Night Live.
He is not a name yet.
So we're not going to just seehim as the funny guy.
It's Chris Farley Is my max In1990.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
He's in his first season of SNL and because of the
time period I'm in, we don'tget Chris Farley.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
Yeah, you're fine, okay, cool.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
So, right, right, right, right yeah the chris
farley's.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
But yeah, we're gonna be sad when he dies because
he's lovable, yeah, and heprobably gets more screen time
because because ken campbelldoesn't get a lot.
But in 1990 he's just that newfunny guy on snl.
We don't know him as tommy boyyeah, you know, and all those
characters.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
So I love chris farley.
Well, he dies in my movie well,thanks for that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
So you don't have a max, and that's okay don't have
a max, if you think of something.
Write it down.
We'll come back to you at theend, Natural, if you think about
it.
Sometimes they pop up andyou're like, oh wait, that's so
much better.
Alright, lev Andropov or,however you say it, the Russian
Played by Peter Stomar.
You didn't cast the Russian.
You didn't cast it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
Peter Stomar, it was the show.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
He has lines that I love.
I feel horrible now, but alsoto be fair though in 2018, you
just cast Peter Stonemaier again.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Yeah, that's my choice.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
We'll go ahead and choose him.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
Because even trying to Google Russian actors,
because he's actually a he'sDanish or something, isn't he
Danish, or?
Dutch or something.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
Yeah, so he's not actually Russian, so he's like,
I mean mean there's like danielbrule, yeah you could like, you
know done, you know he's germanyeah, and so he could have done
it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
You could go with one of the, the brothers uh played
nosferatu and in oh, scars guardbrothers, there's vincent
cassell, he's french.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
There you go, I'll go with alexander scars guard for
that.
I think he would.
I think he would play it prettywell.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
It's right around it time too.
So like okay, alexander scars,guard tarzan.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Yes, yes, yes, I think he would play it well,
because he also does havecomedic chops yeah, he's also in
the northman he is in thenorthman.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
Yes, oh, yes, okay, I'm choosing him all right,
alexander's good, well thoughtout well thank you, I had it
totally prepared yes, yes, yes,you did all the, all the details
, all the not didn't spare anytime.
Um, I was torn here but Iwanted to go with someone.
That was more One of thechoices.
I know they're friends, but hehasn't really ever been in a
major role in one of Sandler'smovies.

(01:18:22):
I'm going John Turturro.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
I understand he's not Russian.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Not even a little bit .

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
I think that's fine, it's fine, we'll work around it.
It could be somebody, yeah,yeah because I thought about
sasha baron cohen, but I waslike they're just friends.
I don't think they were he's.
I think he might have had aspot in zohan oh, I don't
remember, but I don't.
I don't really remember if itwas a major role or not, but I
liked totoro, like or he's justfun, like yeah, he can nail it
and we could make you know wecould, you could work around it,
figure it out, it would any wayyou want to.

(01:18:49):
But I think he just has likethe right level of crazy about
him.
You know, when you think aboutMr Deeds.
That's exactly what I was aboutto bring up, or even like Big
Lebowski, like he always plays,like those really crazy
characters really well.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
Yeah, he's hilarious in Mr Deeds.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Yeah, and I feel like Peter Stonemaier steals so many
scenes in this movie.
Yeah, he's so good, he's sogood.
Corey, who do you have?
Listen, I'm in 1990.
I, okay, all right.
But by the way, dolph Lundgrenstudied chemical engineering at
MIT and apparently he has an IQof 160.
Apparently he's just stupidlysmart.
He was just built like a god.

Speaker 1 (01:19:20):
He was built like Thor, so he's just like all
right, I'll do acting.
I guess I'll do this.
I guess I'll fight Rocky, it'sfine.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
So yeah, I think it still works.
You can still pull it off it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
It's also funny for a movie that's so pro-American
and like no, we got it, we'regoing to do it.
Like he saves them so manytimes and like it's just and
obviously they're playing offthe whole Russia, kind of we're
just got out of the cold war andso it's just funny to see a
Russian having such prominentheroic moments.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
Michael Bay has this like fetish for American flags.
He hates France, but he givesthe Russian guy a lot to do.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
Who do you think he voted for in this last election?
So up next is Bear and Bear's,played by Michael Clarke Duncan.
Rest in peace to Michael ClarkeDuncan.
May he rest in peace, oh mygosh.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
I love his character.

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
So I can tell you this is a good movie, because it
held my wife's attention fortwo and a half hours.
Oh wow, and she like if I'mwatching a movie she does, she
like, loses interest fast yeah,she'll go do something else.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Okay, she's not gonna sit there.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
She doesn't even give you, like the she'll like text
her family on her phone.
She'll read she'll do anythingelse.
Like she'll go find somethinglike she's just like nope, I'm
out.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
This is dumb you get to a point where you just have
to let people go cory.
And so last night I don't forceher, I'm like this is fine.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
I mean there are movies like you you to watch
this.
I'm sorry, but you're gonna behere, but Armageddon wasn't one,
I guess it's just like it'slong, it's whatever.
But I started told her hey, I'mdoing this on the podcast
tomorrow and I haven't watchedit yet, so I need to rewatch it.
And she zoned in didn't talk tome.
The whole movie she's in butlike when Michael Clarke, she's

(01:20:50):
like.
I hate to be the bearer of badnews, but he's been dead for
like 10 years.
Sorry, there's a reason youhaven't seen him in a movie in a
really long time, babe, aww.
And so those moments are alwaysfun, where you're like ugh, how
do I tell you so yeah, but he'sgreat, like, he's just.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
he's like the lovable character that he always is in
these type of movies.
But my favorite scene shoot aj,and he's like don't make me
shoot.
She's like I'm just trying tobuy my boy time, get him a head
start and like that's a friendthat is a friend they do such a
good job.
I didn't re-watching it thistime I realized developing the
bond between all the guys goingthrough it, I I felt like in

(01:21:27):
previous watches I was like,well, you really don't get to
know them until they're alltogether at nasa.
But then I was like no, you getto see a lot of them early on.
I was torn here.
But it's my space science brainand then my what fits in the
Sandler verse brain, where itwere with each other between
Terry Crews and Shaq oh youcan't fit Shaq in a spaceship.

(01:21:47):
It's funny.
It's a.
If it was a complete Sandlermovie, it works, but I'm trying
to like keep in bay's vision asmuch as possible, I think you
gotta go cherry cruise.

Speaker 3 (01:21:56):
That's kind of where I just can't really act.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
No, no, I can't even, yeah, even something goofy.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
It's pretty bad.
It's yeah so, and I love shackyeah, we all love oh yeah steel
is a guilty pleasure movie.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
I think steel is great not kazam but I'll watch
steel over kazam any day, butlike he's not good at it, no,
but by all means no, no, no soyeah, that's that's I was
thinking.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
Terry cruz is going to be better.
He's also closer in height tomichael clark duncan.
He's six three.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Duncan was six, six, I believe yeah, he's a big dude,
yeah, seven one, yeah, so itjust would have made everyone
look small yeah which was it was.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
It would have been funny, but if I'm trying to like
all, we're still trying to makethis work.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
Not completely.
Lampoon it, corey, who's yourbear Bear Mine was Tiny Lister
in 1990.
I almost thought about him too,because he's in Little Nicky as
well.

Speaker 3 (01:22:45):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
He's the other brother that goes to Earth to
take over.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
I've never seen Little Nicky, so Rise.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
Ivins and Tiny Lister are Satan's children, along
with Adam Sandler.
Okay, and they go to Earth totake over it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
Gotcha.

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
And little Nikki Adam's job is to go, send them
back to Hell.
You have to watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
Okay, you'll have a good time.
I was absolutely not allowed towatch that as a child.
I understand.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Completely Weirdly, one I did watch, really.
One of the first ones that Ithink I watched at a friend's or
something.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
Oh, gotcha At a friend's, yeah, and the whole
time you're like my parentswould be so mad, they would be
so mad, they'd be so angry.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
Oh man, I'm a bad man .

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
I've been a bad man, but I'm also being intentional
here with Tiny Lister, becausehe's just coming off no holds
barred, okay, like Hulk Hogan's.
Just I'm giving him a chancehere to make people forget no
holds barred, sure, sure.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
Very nice.
I like that it works.
He's also a likable gentlegiant type.
Do you have a bear?

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
I do have a bear, don't worry, I did cast a bear
for this one.
I was thinking because this guyis just a I mean he's I was
thinking of just like a builtbig dude.
Okay, and that's Alan Richsonwho plays Jack Reacher.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
Oh that guy I think would be really good as Bear and
like the comedic funny parts.
Yeah, that works for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
Yeah, I think he would do a really good job.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
Alan Richardson.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
Richson Richson.
I think it's Richson Richson,yes.

Speaker 1 (01:24:04):
Richson R-I-T-C-H-S-O-N.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
He's like the guy everybody wants to be Batman and
I think he could do a good jobAlso from Blue Mountain State.

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
That's not my intention.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
She didn't cast Max because she didn't want to think
about an overweight, short man.
This is not true.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
She's keeping in line with Michael Bay's bigger is
better.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
More, abs more jawline.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
Magic Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:24:28):
In space.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
Genuinely, I'm not trying to cast Hotman, and
besides I have a couple that Idon't.
Who did you cast for this?
Uh, yeah, now I'm gonna have to.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
Oh no, I forgot to cast that one too.
Well, okay, cory.
So we'll move on to the nextone.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
No, you guys are gonna roast me for my later ones
I've seen male strippers intospace oh, we're drilling the
earth.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
You told us we were drilling a woman named Dottie.
That's the name of the asteroid.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
I've completely missed this.

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
It's just packs and junk floating around.
They're only wearing theirhelmets and g-strings in Ali's
movie.

Speaker 1 (01:25:13):
It's like the alternate version of what's that
movie?
The creators of NapoleonDynamite when they changed this.
It's Gentleman Broncos when hesteals the book and he makes it
like a very like sensual versionof it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
I am sweating.
Oh my gosh, I bet you are.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
Who knew Armageddon was going to so?

Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
spicy, so Colonel Willie Sharp played by.

Speaker 1 (01:25:44):
Willem Fickner, favorite character in the whole
movie.
Corey, who do you got for thefor the astronaut with a gun?

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
for 1990 this was easy for me.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Okay for William Sharp, it's Kevin Bacon oh, oh,
heck, yeah, oh, of course, yeah,of course that's a good one,
because Kevin Bacon's equallyintense man he is yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
And when he pulls that gun, it's his eyes dude.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Kevin Bacon has intense freaking eyes.
Absolutely yeah, if.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
Kevin Bacon pointed a gun at me, I would genuinely be
like he's gonna shoot of.

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
Chris Pretz.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
How the hell is that your first go-to of Kevin Bacon?

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
It's humor, Corey.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
I can't tell, sometimes with your childhood,
maybe Balto was the only movieyou're allowed to watch with
Kevin Bacon in it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
It probably was the first Kevin Bacon movie I
watched.
I mean I probably saw clips ofhim in Footloose and stuff.
But your parents were like youare now watching Footloose,
there's no dancing in this house, young man and Nick just wants
to dance man.
Dad, I just want to dance.
Did you ever just stand?

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
up on the kitchen table and quote 2 Samuel 6.14?
.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
If I had, watched Footloose and David danced
before the Lord.

Speaker 3 (01:26:52):
Dad, oh my gosh.
Frank, oh my gosh, yeah.
So if you don't know KevinBacon, he's the voice of Balto.
A few good men.
If you don't recognize him,he's that dog.
He's that dog.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Excuse you, he saved lives, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:14):
And no Maleska For newer people, he's the bad guy
in X-Men First Class.
Oh, I forgot about that Tremors.

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
Tremors is great Sleepers oh my God.
Kevin Bacon's made so many goodmovies, so many movies.

Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
That's why there's six degrees of him.
It's probably shortened at thispoint.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
He's also in the Guardians of the Galaxy
Christmas edition.
That's right, as Kevin Bacon,he's that guy.
He's that guy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
Gen Z he's that guy.
He's that guy.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
I was supposed to pick him up from the airport
once.
That's right, and I went backto sleep.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
You have to tell the story now.

Speaker 3 (01:27:49):
He has a band he does with his brother called the
Bacon Brothers.
What the crap Corey and theywere playing in like Grant, like
the casino in like just aboutan hour away.
And my sister.
She books talent for like thevenues here, for like the
Choctaw casinos and, like she,like their airplane was like
landing early or something likethat.
She's like I don't have anyoneto go pick them up.
She had called me and it waslike 6 am and I was like this is

(01:28:12):
what it feels like a dream whensomeone asks you if you're
going to go pick up Kevin Baconfrom the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:28:16):
We could have all been one degree from Kevin Bacon
.

Speaker 3 (01:28:19):
You would have been one degree Anytime you played
that game.
You could have just said NickGrohl, but yeah, I regret it.
Later that day I literally waslike Ashley, did you call me
this morning?
She's like, yeah, I'm surprisedyou like didn't want to go and
I was like that was real oh, noI would have asked him so many
questions about tremors as youshould, just tremors.

Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
Yeah, he's like you don't want to know about
footloose or tom cruise and afew no, no, no tremors let's
talk tremors oh my gosh, that'sfunny ali, who is your colonel
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
So I feel terrible because I don't know how to
pronounce his name that's's okay, and I don't want to butcher it
either.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
I butcher so many names Allie Dale.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
It's the man from 12 Years a Slave.

Speaker 3 (01:28:59):
Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Yes, yes, thank you.
I think that's how youpronounce it, is it Okay?
I feel horrible.
I said it with confidence,which is the key.
That's the key.

Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
That Not an antagonist, but he's the other
wizard in the Doctor Strangemovies.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
Oh, I didn't factor that in.
He is, isn't he?
Yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
I'm trying to just let people know.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
Yeah, no, no, no For the non-cinephiles.
Yeah, for sure, and he's in2012 with John Cusack.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
Is he really?
Yeah he's like the geologistthat just figures out
everything's going bad.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
Oh okay, watch it.
But yeah, I think he would do,I think he would be a really
great Captain Sharp.
Yeah, no, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
Again the intensity and like he keeps a gaze they
all keep, like a locked gaze onwhatever they're looking at.
And you're just like I, amterrified of this person.
Yes, exactly Also who brings agun to space?
Let's be serious.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
I like that they do it's a fun.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
No, no, probably put a gun on the right, I mean it
just adds to the american stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
I mean it just adds to it iris my case bring a gun
but like uh, all the other, likethe, the russian, everyone else
watching was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:01):
That's ridiculous, that would never be allowed I'm
sure someone said okay, if youfired that in space, x would
happen and everybody's like thatwould that's probably one of
the things like what were yousaying?

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
like nasa, they they watch this movie yeah, I guess,
like of their managementtrainings, they watch this movie
to try and see if they can findall of the errors in this movie
.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
That would just make me walk out of NASA.
I'd be like you know what, Ify'all aren't going to respect
this movie, I don't want to workhere.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
They use it in management training program.
New managers are tasked withidentifying as many scientific
inaccuracies as possible, withat least 168 have been found.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
We already have Neil tied to Grison ruining shit on a
daily basis.
Like now NASA is just making ita training exercise.
I would raise my hand and belike I'm sorry.
So if this won't work, if anasteroid comes at us, like
what's our plan then?

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
All right, so let's get this moving along so we
don't pass two hours.
Hopefully, Rockhound Allie.
Who hours?
Hopefully, Rockhound Allie, whodo you have for Rockhound?

Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
For Rockhound I have Eben Moss Bachman, the dude from
the Bear.

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
Okay, yeah, who's playing the thing in the
Fantastic Four?

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
Yeah, he's playing the thing in the upcoming
Fantastic Four.

Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
I think he would do a good job as a horned dog, who's
also insanely smart.
I don't know what it is.
There's something about.
There's a weird kinetic energy,just a wildness to him in the
eyes, like like he's not just,he's not bat shit like some,
like the like the russiancharacter but he's there is a
crazy.
Obviously he gets spacedementia.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
He's ready to die like he's going to strip clubs,
like something's off, he owns,he like owes like a hundred
thousand dollars to a loan shark, I mean.
And then he realizes, oh no, tolive, I'm going to have to pay
this back.

Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
Bashimi does, so good it's so good Philosophical
question now what like?
Given just that we, theaudience, know everything going
on, would you let him do the no,since he's already suicidal.

Speaker 1 (01:31:50):
I want to get off the asteroid before he does it, so
I need that time, ok.

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
So you mainly don't trust him to wait for you.
Yeah, he's just gonnaimmediately.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
Yes 100 like he's ready.
Yeah, okay, I a thousandpercent agree with nick and I
don't trust.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Like yeah, bruce willis walks him down like this.
I don't trust.
The minute he gets out of myeyesight I'm like he's gonna.
I'm terrified.
Let's get.
Leave, bruce, let's go andthat's his fault.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Who knows if he's even gonna make it all the way
down before he does it?
What if he just says it on thesurface of the comet yeah, yeah,
exactly, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
It's just not well he could do it on the surface
because it's it's down the.
The bomb is down in the in thein the core of the asteroid.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
That's right I'm thinking about because yeah yeah
, you're right, you're right,yeah but still but still, I
wouldn't trust.

Speaker 1 (01:32:27):
No, no, not at all it's just.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
It's one of those things where he literally does
deliver that line believably,where he's like guys.
I know you'll think I'm crazy,but I would love this
responsibility.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
He's like I don't want to go back to earth.
I'm more scared of going backto earth.
I put david spade here that's agood one.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
That's a good one.
That's where he goes.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
I was trying, I was I had moved around a few things.
I was like no, that's davidspade 100 for sure?
So let's see who's the cory,who is your?

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
I'm so proud of my list from kevin bacon on up just
so you know from here on out,I'm just winning this.
Okay, my uh rockhound is billmurray in 1990 that's so good.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
That's a really good one, that's so really good one I
it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
You get to see unhinged bill murray.
It's just chaotic.
Yeah, it's just chaotic and Ichaotic.

Speaker 3 (01:33:14):
I like the character Rockhound and my favorite thing
about the character is in themontage where he's with the
therapist or whoever and he'ssaying how smart he is.
But then he's like.
But I became a roughneckbecause I like the hours I get
to travel.

Speaker 1 (01:33:27):
That is such a Bill Murray.
That's what geniuses actuallydo in real life.

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
It's like the smartest people in the world are
doing not smart things becausethey're smart enough to go.
I don't waste my time trying tosolve unsolvable problems.

Speaker 1 (01:33:37):
I'm going to go work on an oil rig Because I get two
weeks off.
Very nice.
Very nice.
Alright, we're at the top five,I think, to the audience.
I'm sorry, but we'll getthrough this as quickly, but as
casually, quickly, as casuallyas possible, sure, so it's

(01:34:01):
rushed like a good podcast,whatever.
Yeah, this is the best episodewe've ever done.
This is a fun one.
So we have chick, who's playedby will patten, again to remind
people, uh, he's coach yates inthe.

Speaker 3 (01:34:05):
Uh, the uh, remember the titans that's probably the
thing most people will know himfrom.
I would say yeah, um, it's likein the postman with kevin
cosner and stuff.
He's always just that guy.
He's always standing next tothe lead.

Speaker 1 (01:34:14):
Yeah, he's not the lead, but he makes appearances
in Yellowstone.
He's in the Postman right.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
So I think him and Kevin Costner are just friends.

Speaker 1 (01:34:22):
Yeah, no way out, they're just buddies, he's in
the Forever Purge, gone in 60Seconds.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
Okay, he is in Gone in 60 Seconds.
He's Nicolas Cage's right righthand man.
He's just good at playing thatloyal guy and with that I'll.
I'll lead off here.
Uh, chris rock.
All right, I kind of played offof uh longest yard, but I think
chris rocks.

Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
he's gonna have those comments right, and when adam
sandler is shooting at our aj,he's gonna be like I really
think you should do that.
I don't know if you should likea little bit of the common
sense guy, but he'll have somegood wisecracks in there as well
, for sure.
Who wants to go first?
I'll?

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
go, yeah you go.
I picked Tom Hardy.
I think that he would handlethe sentimental moments with the
son and the ex-wife and all ofthat I think he would handle all
that really well.

Speaker 1 (01:35:11):
It's a smaller role for him, but it's an ensemble.

Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
We've got a lot of stars bouncing around here I
think he would work really wellwith the cast and plus with like
that he could put on just likea minor southern accent and
stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
I think oh yeah, I think he'd do great this man's
won.
What was it?
A jujitsu tournament, yeah ohgoodness gracious.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
But yeah, he's.
I was gonna say, he's my chickit's not helping your argument,
ali.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
That's all I'm gonna say, I know.
Have you seen, bronson?

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
no, but For the record if I had done my 2025
cast.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
This is the first time we would have stepped on
toes, because he was my HarryStamper.

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
It was Tom Hardy in 2025.
I think it too, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:35:41):
Very nice.
Well, who is your chick?
My chick in 1990 is BillyCrystal.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
Yes, I like it.
I like that.
It's not something he's everkind of done before, but I want
it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
90 yeah, I want it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
That's a good one nice, real loyal friend I love
and I think he could play rough.
Have we ever cast some dirt on?

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
willie like billy crystal's face.
How have we never cast billycrystal before?
I don't know, but I just did it.
Man wait movie in any of thesemovies.
Oh, I thought you meant allmovie.
I was like I don't know, Idon't know if we've ever cast
him before this is the firsttime casting I love.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
This is like my second or third podcast, where
it's been the first time for anactor to be cast, which is an
honor.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
Yeah, We've talked about him as Miracle Max in
Princess Bride, but we've nevercast him Well now he's in 1990,
armageddon.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
Hey, there we go, and he's going to say why do you
have a scene?

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
with the wife and daughter.
So well, yes, yep.
How do y'all feel about thatscene?
By the way, I think it's good,I think it's done.
That's it infuriated my wifereally.
She's like, oh, now he's goodenough for her oh well, that's
fair.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
That's I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
Given the circumstances, I had to say like
they don't ever come out andsay it, jube, but I think he's
like a gambling addict yeah, youknow, they find him in vegas.
His one request is like oneweek at Caesars for saving the
world.

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
I think they handle the scene really well.
It's not a lot of exposition,it's not a lot of cheesy lines,
it's just.
You don't have to tell him whoI am, just give him this.

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
That's not a salesman , honey, that's your daddy.

Speaker 1 (01:37:08):
My wife went oh now he's good enough.

Speaker 3 (01:37:12):
Well, juby, I think he's made mistakes.
This I was like well, Juby, Ithink he's made mistakes.
This is a big correcting course.
He's redeeming himself in thebiggest way possible.

Speaker 1 (01:37:20):
And just throw out real quick.
In my version I'm going to giveMaya Rudolph the wife role.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
Okay, I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:27):
I think, that her and Chris Rock will play off each
other well yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
Aren't they married in real life?

Speaker 1 (01:37:31):
No, oh, I was about to say what's the movie In?
Grown Ups, grown?

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
Ups.
I don't remember.
It's been a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:37:39):
Yeah, that's probably what it is, because Selma Hayek
is with Adam Sandler With.

Speaker 3 (01:37:41):
Adam, of course.
He's like the hot chick's withme.

Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
It makes no sense.
The funny guy always wins,Corey Come on.

Speaker 3 (01:37:51):
It just goes back to Flintstones.
Man Fred didn't deserve Wilma.
It just goes back toFlintstones, man Fred didn't
deserve Wilma, but he earned herlove, corey.

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
Yeah, it's true.
Okay, yeah, he plays the wifeof Chris Rock's character in the
sequel, Grown Ups 2.

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:38:02):
Those Sandler heads.
Now you know they're allscreaming at me.
Of course it was Nick.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
It was the second one .
Grown Ups 2 sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:38:08):
Okay, dan Truman, allie, I'll make you go first.
Billy Bob Thornton, the personwe stay with probably through
the whole movie.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
You guys are going to roast me.
It's just going to be hot menall over.
It's Michael Fassbender.
I give it up, that's goodthough I think it would be a
good one.

Speaker 3 (01:38:24):
Okay, he'll be really good, but in the one role where
you could have gone with anon-traditionally attractive man
, you went with MichaelFassbender attracted to the guy
that I cast as Never mind.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
I'm not going to justify myself to you two.
Shut up.

Speaker 3 (01:38:39):
But he would do really well.
He'd do a great job.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
I don't want to hear it from either one of you.

Speaker 1 (01:38:44):
He could also be a good Jason Isaacs role, as well
as the scientist.

Speaker 3 (01:38:48):
I could see that.

Speaker 1 (01:38:48):
He could deliver that very well.

Speaker 3 (01:38:50):
And he gets to keep his accent in that one.
That's right, there you go,that's true it accent in that
one.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
That's right.
There you go.
That's right, it's an easypaycheck for him.

Speaker 3 (01:38:55):
Corey, who's your Truman?
Alright, this is gonna soundthis is pandering or whatever,
but it's Gene Hackman in 1990.
Okay, Moment of silence forGene Hackman.
We're just paying honor here,but he's gonna kill it and he
gets the one F-bomb in the movieand Gene Hackman's gonna
deliver it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:10):
It's such a good.

Speaker 3 (01:39:10):
F-bomb too.
It's such a good, it's so good.
I paused it just to explain tomy wife the rule of one F-bomb
in a PG-13 movie and I was likeyou've got to really use it,
you've got to nail it, and thisis an example of when to use it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:22):
You effing know it.
You effing know it.
Oh man, it's so good.

Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
Oh, it's stupid face.

Speaker 1 (01:39:33):
But it's a role that really is suited for Gene
Hackman.
Like 100% too.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
He's really good at this, like the retired cowboy
kind of role you know.
And now he's just watching lifepassing by.

Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
That's right, but he's still, you know commanding
and he's someone that it'salmost a.
It becomes a little bit more ofa father figure for the main
character, harry.
But at the same time they havea mutual respect.
They have for one another too,so it means more when you get
that patch to him 90% of BillyBob's lines in this movie are
huge.

Speaker 3 (01:40:03):
Every time he talks it's like we're learning or
we're getting a good moment.
So you need a Gene Hackman, youneed someone who can just say
lines like a pro.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
So I went all the way beyond that casting.
Because it's the Sandler verse,I did a gender Ben.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
Oh, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
I went with Drew Barrymore.
It's a little older, drewBarrymore, she's going to be the
suit Tough as nails, she getsto say the F word and she has
all the experience as we knowgrowing up in Hollywood and
stuff too, and she's not justshe's in Adam Sandler movies,
but she's been in a wide swathof different types of movies.
So I think she can.
Just it'll be a fun flavor toadd to this whole movie.

Speaker 3 (01:40:41):
I think so.
Well, here's the cool thingabout that.
Now listen, I would neverrecast Billy Bob in this movie,
under any circumstances.

Speaker 1 (01:40:58):
But speaking of the movie with billy bob, yeah,
because, like herself, you knowhe says the line like you don't
need to be here and she's like Ihave nowhere else to go, so
she's kind of like becoming asurrogate father would then add
the whole mother figurecharacter in there, which we
don't have.
Yeah, we reference her, butshe's never brought up.
You know that would have beeninteresting, yeah, so, speaking
of grace graceper, played by LivTyler, who I want to know who
you guys picked, but I'm goingto throw out really quick some

(01:41:19):
people that were considered NevCampbell turned it down for
scheduling conflicts with Partyof Five, mila Jovovich
considered but passed, and RobinWright was approached but
declined the role.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
So we have Liv Tyler, nev Campbell, mila Jovovich and
Robin Wright.
I hate all those.

Speaker 1 (01:41:33):
Liv just works.

Speaker 3 (01:41:34):
Liv works, liv works, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:41:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
Maybe I undersold her acting because I can't see the
other.
It's if Robin.

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
Wright seems too grandiose at this point.
I mean, she's like buttercup.
She'd be better as co-pilot, asthe co-pilot on the ship.
Yeah, she's Jenny, we can'thave her in.

Speaker 1 (01:41:52):
No, no, no, no, I think Liv Tyler belongs on it If
you think of name me anunderrated actor, liv.

Speaker 3 (01:42:00):
Tyler gets to be on that list.
Yeah, no, I think she'sunderrated.
Yeah For sure.
Yeah, huh.

Speaker 1 (01:42:05):
Well, who do you have ?
Corey, for a year.
I love Neve.

Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
Campbell, but I don't 1990, it's julia roberts.
Oh yeah, yeah, she's the thirdlead man.
You're right, you're right,okay, it's a big movie, big, big
ensemble a-list disaster.
Yeah, okay, she's coming off.

Speaker 1 (01:42:24):
Pretty woman, mystic pizza is pretty woman happened,
yet I don't know it's eight, isthat 89?

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
I don't know.
Is it in the early 90s?
So good pretty woman?

Speaker 1 (01:42:31):
I'm definitely not 1990.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
Okay, so same year.
Oh, same year she's gonna playGrace and a prostitute Excellent
.

Speaker 1 (01:42:40):
Daddy Harry's gonna be so proud of her.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
So this is the year she breaks out, kind of, because
before this is like MysticPizza and Flatliners and things
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
Steel Magnolias, oh my god Steel, Magnolias is so
good.

Speaker 1 (01:42:51):
When are we?

Speaker 3 (01:42:51):
gonna recast Steel Magnolias.

Speaker 1 (01:42:53):
Whenever you want.
I guess it's our podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:42:55):
You guys can kind of do whatever you want.
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:42:59):
Um, I'll go next.
I went.
So there's, as far as I know,there's only been one age
appropriate person in theSandler verse.
That's played his daughter, andI'm just going to continue on
with that, Even though it was ananimated movie.
Selena Gomez, I don't know.
I checked the age.
Yeah, what anime HotelTransylvania.
She's the daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:43:17):
Oh yeah, I forgot about that movie.
Right, You're like what moviewas she?

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
in, I don't, but yeah , I think she just.
She's, you know, one of thegirls of our time, and of that
time for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
It's the age appropriate of that era be the
Sprouse twins better.
So who we have?

Speaker 1 (01:43:47):
left Allie who is your grace.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
My grace is Brie Larson.
Okay, I think she would do agreat job.
Yeah, and uh, she, she, the.
The scene where she's sayinggoodbye to her dad would really
be touching.
I don't know if y'all have seenroom, but she's fantastic.
Not yet, because that's themovie that pretty much got her.
She went from that to CaptainMarvel, basically it's.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
So this will be a nice, uh, a nice big movie.
That's the movie that prettymuch got her.

Speaker 2 (01:43:57):
She went from that to Captain Marvel, basically.

Speaker 1 (01:43:59):
It's so good, so this will be a nice big movie.
That's not.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
Captain Marvel.
Yep, it's right before it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:04):
And if you don't know , she's also in Scott Pilgrim.

Speaker 2 (01:44:06):
She is in Scott Pilgrim, one of Scott's evil
exes.
She is, yeah, she's fantastic.
I love her.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
Okay between better talking on a screen to your
child from space.
Is it interstellar orarmageddon?

Speaker 1 (01:44:20):
oh, I mean, well, it's different.

Speaker 3 (01:44:24):
It's different because yeah, that's what I'm
saying, though, but still, it'slike it's.

Speaker 1 (01:44:26):
It's a message from space on a screen one is like
one's okay because it's like I'msaving the world, I'm doing
this, I'm doing so.
This is a goodbye message inthe purpose of the movie in an
interstellar it's like a heartwrenchingstellar it's like well,
like he.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
It's the middle of the movie and he just feels like
he's failed well, and also youhave casey affleck, you know,
talking like, showing him, likelike with his son, and then it
showed, and then he's like oh,we buried him next to mom we
almost named him koop, koop,kooper yeah, get all worked up
thinking about the interstellar.

Speaker 3 (01:44:55):
I watched her stuff like two months ago and I was
like man, this movie's so good,it's so good.

Speaker 1 (01:44:59):
It's one of my favorites, that's when you have
to, like you have to sit down,make sure you don't answer your
phone like just take it in.

Speaker 3 (01:45:04):
Oh God it's so good, oh wow.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
Good choices all around.

Speaker 1 (01:45:07):
Good choices all around the top two AJ Frost, ben
Affleck.

Speaker 2 (01:45:14):
I know you love him, I do.
This is the one role.

Speaker 1 (01:45:16):
I was tempted to pick a Sandler guy but I didn't
because I felt like he neededkind of a heartthrobby type guy
to make it serious.
Keep it in that.
Enough seriousness.
Enough of like this is aromance kind of thing Because
like Andy Samberg is not goingto work.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, as much as we love him.
But, I'm going to go withanother guy of the time, and
it's zach efron oh my god, Ilove that one.

Speaker 2 (01:45:38):
That's great, because it just works like he he and he
can be funny what's the reverse?

Speaker 1 (01:45:42):
thing is he, he's not , it's the one, it's the one
break from the sandler verse,because I was like I needed
somebody that and I didn't wantto cast the dude from twilight,
uh that robert pence no, taylor,oh, taylor lautner, my bad, my
bad would not, I can't, I can'tcast him no, he just he's not.
He's not.
I can't believe him in anything, even as a werewolf, um, but
yeah, I think he's just has that.
He can be funny, but he alsohas leading man role, like Ben

(01:46:04):
Affleck does, for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:46:05):
Yeah, no, absolutely I.
You guys have no idea howobsessed I was with Zac Efron,
Like I had Can you tell us insong.
No.

Speaker 1 (01:46:16):
I don't think I can.
I thought I tried.
No, I just, I'm overwhelmed nowHigh school musical moment
there for you.
I'm overwhelmed, I know I'llgive you a moment, corey, who is
your AJ?

Speaker 3 (01:46:24):
Wait, hold on.

seconds, chris Rock.
I hate it now.

Speaker 1 (01:46:40):
Why do you hate it now?

Speaker 3 (01:46:42):
Where's the guy who's in all?

Speaker 2 (01:46:44):
the Adam Sandler movies.
They were cones.

Speaker 1 (01:46:48):
Oh, you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
The guy.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
The lead of Grandma's Boy.
I had him as the scientist andI swapped him out for Rye
Syphons.

Speaker 3 (01:46:56):
I am upset that he's not in this movie.
I'm not watching your movie.

Speaker 1 (01:46:59):
He's the scientist at the beginning who's like?

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
fumbling the words to explain he should be chick,
because he's been around sincethe beginning, damn it gory's
like this is all useless this isall worthless start over oh my
gosh I'm sorry, I'm just nowthinking back.
I was like, wait, I haven'theard that guy's name yet, even
though I still can't think ofhis name.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
Yeah, I don't know what his name is, but I know who
you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:47:17):
I had him written down.
That tells you how not of a bigname he is.
He's not a big name, but he'sbeen there since the beginning.
It's Alan Covert.
Yeah, Alan Covert.
He's in everything.

Speaker 3 (01:47:25):
Yeah, he's the caddy in Happy Gilmore.
I didn't realize that for thelongest time.

Speaker 2 (01:47:33):
And such a dumb line he would have been a good rock
hound man.

Speaker 1 (01:47:38):
He could have been.

Speaker 3 (01:47:39):
He could have been but David Spade was right there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
Yeah, david Spade, that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:47:43):
You just blew a chick .

Speaker 1 (01:47:44):
All right anyways, so we are still on AJ AJ.

Speaker 3 (01:47:47):
AJ, and you said Zac Efron.

Speaker 1 (01:47:49):
And who do you have?

Speaker 3 (01:47:51):
I have Alexander Winter, Bill S Preston Esquire.
Interesting From Bill and Tedoh as my AJ in 1990.
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
He's just coming off, bill and Ted.
Interesting, okay, interesting,not the typical heartthrob type
.

Speaker 3 (01:48:05):
Listen, Keanu, I don't know that he.

Speaker 1 (01:48:08):
Keanu can do the animal cracker scene.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
It's going to be weird.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
That's what I was about to say.
I was like Keanu kind of wouldhave been like the choice.

Speaker 3 (01:48:15):
No, I think it's the rest of the movie.
It just it feels too Keanu whenit doesn't need.
I don't think Keanu's going todo that I love you, harry thing
at the end without it kind ofbeing a little weird.
Have you seen Point Break?

Speaker 1 (01:48:25):
It's a little weird man.
It's a bogey moment on thebeach.

Speaker 3 (01:48:27):
Yeah, but it's kind of like that scene's a little
cheesy.

Speaker 1 (01:48:33):
His sur place he's taking his spot.

Speaker 3 (01:48:35):
Yeah, we kind of other than you know it's fine,
it's fine it's still.
It's weird man.
You know it's fine.
A lot of people died.
You got to go down yeah, Idon't know.
I'm going with Alexander Winter.
He was a stage actor.
I think you can pull off likethe more heartfelt with Julia
Roberts okay, let me throwAlexander Winter a bone here we

(01:48:56):
can't cast Keanu and everything.
It's okay, we gotta get theother half probably the first
time alexander winter's everbeen cast probably made attempts
.

Speaker 1 (01:49:05):
That's why we got rid of the director all right, ali,
now that you've calmed down fora moment, I'm sorry sorry to
call you out who's your hot ajhe is.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
he's like a Zac Efron adjacent God.

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
Let's hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:21):
It's Dacher Montgomery who played Billy from
Stranger Things, which I knowyou don't like Stranger.

Speaker 3 (01:49:24):
Things.
I don't know about the StrangerThings that much, but he plays
Billy, he playswhat's-her-face's brother, he's
the badass guy with the mullet,yeah, and I feel like they could
totally like grunt.

Speaker 2 (01:49:32):
He also was the Red Power Ranger in the 2017 Power
Rangers movie.

Speaker 3 (01:49:36):
Oh, I didn't bother with that, it's so
underappreciated.
It's a fun movie.

Speaker 1 (01:49:39):
It's alright, it's fun, but I cast him because he's
a heartthrob.

Speaker 2 (01:49:46):
At least this time it works with the casting.

Speaker 3 (01:49:49):
How would you feel about a Joseph Quinn in that
role?
I?

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
don't think he could pull it off.

Speaker 3 (01:49:53):
Because, I wrote that down for my 2025 version.

Speaker 1 (01:49:56):
I could see it more in 2025, but I don't label him
as like a Ben Affleck, zac EfronHard Drop type.
All right, sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:50:03):
So like my other two, for that was Paul Mescal- that
would have been good.

Speaker 1 (01:50:06):
That would have been good Hot guy.
He looks like a roughneck.
Can you do an American accent?
I'm sure Probably.
Of course you can.

Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
He's not.
Huh, non-americans can do allthe acts, yeah, but I mean some
don't.
Though, like I haven't heard, Idon't know if he's been in a
movie where he's an american, itwould have been fine.
We've just been cool gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:50:25):
Yes, please my question, though, because I also
wrote this name down.
I know I didn't do my 25 list,but I did want to ask all this
because I think this iscontroversial.
But the guy looks a littlemangy, the where I think he
could work on an oil rig.
He he would just have to buffup a little bit.
Chalamet, he's got the wispyfacial hair.

Speaker 1 (01:50:41):
I thought about Chalamet for mine.
Yeah, because I was kind oflike, could he be like?
He would have to beef up,though he didn't quite meet the
age range was my problem, butalso he's Chalamet yeah he's
Chalamet.

Speaker 3 (01:50:54):
He looks kind of dirty.
He makes more sense than Efronman.

Speaker 1 (01:50:57):
But at that point he's like that's true,
respectfully disagree.
Alright.
Well, while we're contemplatingheartthrobs, we're moving on to
the final rule.
I was just saying, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:51:08):
Chalamet is a hot guy who looks a little dirty.

Speaker 1 (01:51:10):
That's fair.

Speaker 3 (01:51:11):
I feel like you could find a guy that looks a little
bit like Timothy Chalamet, witha gross wispy mustache on the
oil rail.

Speaker 2 (01:51:16):
I mean he does kind of have a gross wispy mustache
right now.

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
He's doing the.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
Bob.

Speaker 1 (01:51:20):
Dylan thing.
Guys, come on, give him a break.
I'm not hating on him.
I'm not hating on him.
He's the chosen one.
Guys, come on.

Speaker 3 (01:51:23):
You can definitely do that.
I love you, Harry.
Scene at the end.

Speaker 1 (01:51:25):
You could.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
He definitely could.

Speaker 1 (01:51:33):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:51:34):
of the movie I picked Adam Sandler because my cast
kind of depended on it.
That would kind of be crazy ifyou did Adam Sandler and you
didn't cast him in anything, orjust he was like and this is.

Speaker 3 (01:51:44):
Alan Covert.
That would have respected it.

Speaker 1 (01:51:51):
I just think it weirdly works.
Like I said, you keep theBayhem and that aesthetic and
that tone and you just insert,because they're all just a bunch
of roughnecks like yeah,they're just a bunch of dudes,
so like his gang works in this,it does work because it's a
weirdly like these guysshouldn't have had careers right
but their best friend becamefamous, yeah, and he made movies
and put them in right, you know, and it works in that roughneck

(01:52:13):
mentality of like these guysshouldn't be in space.
And here they are but in anyother universe, yeah, it's gonna
be a comedy, it's gonna beridiculous, but in this one it's
like we're right in that line,baby yep, but I think he, I
think Adam, can pull it offbecause it's like and we haven't
got a lot of time to talk abouthim, but he's shown range
absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:52:30):
He's great in uncut gems.

Speaker 1 (01:52:32):
Yeah, just between uncut gems and you know Billy
Madison's of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:52:35):
I think you can take something like the Longest Shard
, where he isn't being thisgoobity-doo guy, he's being like
the straight guy.

Speaker 1 (01:52:42):
Exactly, that's exactly it.
You take that mold of him andit fits perfectly into this role
, because he also could be aroughneck.
I can see him with the shotgun,wanting to shoot his daughter's
boyfriend Wearing basketballshorts and a hoodie.
We're going to play pick uplater.
I'm picking.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
I'm picking terry cruz I want to hear your hot guy
, harry s I mean, I um all right, I'm just when you have a long
list of hot guys.
Right now I'm just goingthrough and picking through.

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
No, it's um nicolai costa wall walden game of
thrones someone help.
He plays jam Lannister and Ithink he would be a good Harry
Stamper Because he's kind of alittle dirty looking.
We saw him be a little dirtylooking in Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1 (01:53:25):
Okay, you went less like movie star.

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
Show me how to turn this man.

Speaker 1 (01:53:29):
I have to remember how to spell his name is the
problem.

Speaker 3 (01:53:36):
I'll just decide.
Jamie Lannister yeah, he'sstill trying really hard to be
the thing they're all tryingreally hard okay, Listen, they
needed it.

Speaker 2 (01:53:42):
I mean after Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
Anyways, but I think he would be.

Speaker 2 (01:53:45):
I'm sorry, that was rude.
It was honest, I think he wouldbe a very good Harry Stanker.

Speaker 3 (01:53:52):
No, I see what you're going for.
No, I some of his weird BNetflix movies.
Yeah, I'm like yeah, you dogood.

Speaker 1 (01:53:56):
Yeah, okay, I'm proud of my list your hot list, my
hot list Hot ones in space.

Speaker 3 (01:54:01):
Oh my God, oh my God, space babes, all right, 1990.
We're all back in time.
Yeah, there was one man and oneman only I will give you who
almost up the role way too much.

Speaker 1 (01:54:16):
He would have made it about himself.

Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
I don't like it.
I don't know.
I mean, Sylvester Stalloneimpresses me more often than he
doesn't, but I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (01:54:25):
It wouldn't work, it didn't fit.
So who do you have from 1990?
One man.

Speaker 3 (01:54:29):
Michael Keaton.

Speaker 1 (01:54:32):
Oh, that's a good one .
Yeah, michael Keaton, oh,that's going to hurt so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:54:35):

lives.

Speaker 3 (01:54:58):

They're all wrong about Batman.
They're like alright, let'swatch this.

Speaker 1 (01:55:03):
I believe it, Leading man Michael.

Speaker 2 (01:55:05):
Keaton, that's good, I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:55:07):
Excellent, well done.
Can Gene Hackman get to have?

Speaker 3 (01:55:10):
a chemistry.
Everyone works so well with you, so you guys suck at this.

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):

Speaker 1 (01:55:46):
Yeah, exactly, but his hand comes out of it.
It was just fake.

Speaker 3 (01:55:51):
Dying a second time in one of my movies Is Bean
