You know, there was something Iwas reading about this and
Steven Soderbergh, the directorof this movie he was talking

It's like I wanted to make amovie that is just like nothing
bad happens to any of the peoplein it, except for.
Terry, yeah, except for Terry.
But you know, fuck Terry.
Right, he was just going togive away tests and I was just

(01:10):

Terrible accent from DonCheadle and something like this

I of heist movies, I'd say so.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
They're just Soderbergh's likeI want all my friends in this
movie.
Oh, they just happen to be someof the best and biggest stars

(01:48):
in the biz.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Come over here.
So is Danny Ocean a real person, right?
Oh, I don't know.
Is he a real criminal?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I don't think so.
I think it's all made up right.
I don't know.
I know this movie was a remakeof something.
Oh well, remake of Ocean'sEleven.
That was in the 60s.
I've never watched that, though.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
No, I never knew it was made in the 60s.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, but yeah, I just love.
The entire cast is great GeorgeClooney as Danny Ocean, brad
Pitt as Rusty, julia Roberts,matt Damon no, he's not a real
person.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, I didn't think so.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
You got Bernie Mac Ugh RIP.
Miss you, bud.
Did you ever watch the BernieMac show Cracker?
Yeah, call it White Jack.
Ugh love Bernie Mac.
He's so funny.
Elliot Gould yes, that's thetech guy.
No he's the guy, that guy that'slike, oh, the hairy chest gold

(02:50):
chain man.
Yeah, he's uh, ross and um,monica's father and friends nice
, yeah, yeah, I've seen friends.
Then you got casey affleck,scott khan ah, just amazing.
And then, uh, of course, carlreiner legend.
Um, yeah, I could just watchthese guys do anything, and I
was so glad that they did twomore of these, even though
they're not nearly as good asthis movie, but still fun, yeah,

(03:16):
so notice anything about Brad.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Pitt's performance.
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I mean just like while watching.
Have you noticed like what manhe's like, constantly doing
something that I don't?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I mean.
I know he's constantly eating,constantly Doing stuff with his
mouth.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
That's just like actually a thing that Brad Pitt
does in his movies.
I guess it's just like peoplehave their tics, oh really, yeah
, like a lot of actors, I had atic the other day.
Yeah, I found a tic in the yardthe other day.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Killed it it wasn't on you.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, you lucky bastard .
Well, we were doing yard workso and I was like that's a tick.
Crushed it, I got so many ticksProbably didn't die because
they're impossible to kill.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
No, you pop them yeah .

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like a little pop.
I know I can't do it.
It makes me feel bad my blood.
It's like if I have to pick itup, look in the eyes and squish
it, I can't do that um, but like, let's say in friends, like if
you ever watch it, just like,notice, rachel, she has like a
tick that she does.
It's like like she doessomething like that, um, but

(04:15):
like most actors have ticks likethat, I always just look at her
boobs.
Yeah, okay, so uh, but yeah, Iguess the idea here is brad
pitt's always eating in hismovies.
If you ever go back and watchhim he's like eating a lot.
But the idea came from, uh wasan actual idea from brad pitt,
who came up, uh, for hischaracter.
He reasoned that with all theplanning and preparation needed

(04:36):
for the heist, rusty would neverhave time to sit down and eat a
meal.
But in the dvd commentary headmits that they made a mistake
by introducing rusting rusty'seating habits.
In the DVD commentary he admitsthat they made a mistake by
introducing Rusty's eatinghabits in the first scene, which
is before the heist planningbegins.
But yeah, I was just like man,every time you see him, I was
like I'm getting hungry.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Characters aren't supposed to eat, yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
So are you like a big fan of heist movies?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I do love heist movies.
I wouldn't say I'm like a hugefan.
I like them.
I need moreist movies.
I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan,I like them I need more of them.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I feel like they just got replaced at some point by
superheroes.
Yeah, I mean kind of they'reall too busy doing superhero
movies to do these.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Well, maybe they've just run out of ways to steal
shit yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
That's true, but Steven Soderbergh says nah, dog,
I've made 10 of these things.
Do you know anything aboutSteven Soderbergh?
No, so he's kind of one ofthose guys.
He was like he came up becauseof Sundance Film Festival, which
is where a lot of indiedirectors at the time in the 90s
kind of came up that's KevinSmith Clerks.
Oh yeah, soderbergh, he was oneof those that you know like

(05:43):
that's why he went to Sundanceto find these new directors,
because he made his first movie,sex Lies and Videotape.
You ever seen it?
No, it's.
Oh, is that what was it inSundance?
Yeah, and he won like an awardfor it.
It's got James Spader, andyMcDowell, peter Gallagher, the
guy with the eyebrows himself,and it's just essentially like.

(06:04):
James Spader is like a damn assfreak who likes to talk about
sex with people and video them.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Sex lies in videotape .

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Okay, it's really good.
It's just kind of like a quiettalkative movie.
And then man, he just went allalong.
He made out of sight.
Have you ever seen that?
George Clooney JLo so good I ofsight.
Have you ever seen it?
George Clooney J-Lo so good?
I don't think so.
It's hot as fuck.
Aaron Brockovich, julia Roberts.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I've seen that, yeah, I haven't seen that, yeah that
movie's perfect and it's likethree hours long.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, he won Best Director for that.
I believe it was a good movie.
And then he did the movieTraffic, ocean's Eleven Hell
yeah.
And then Skip a few times.
After doing a bunch of those,he did the Che part one and two,
contagion I don't know.
It's the movie everybody's likewow, steven Soderbergh made a
movie about pandemic.
Let's all watch it during COVIDHell yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I think I did see it.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Wow, they found a cure way faster in that movie
than in real life and everybodyjust took it and didn't call it
the you know a disaster and callit the you know a disaster.
And then there's a movie hemade called Haywire, which I
recommended before.
It's just kind of like afighting movie or like spy movie
.
It's really good.
And then he did the Magic Mike.

(07:15):
Haven't seen that one, haven'tseen it.
It's really good.
My younger brother loved thatmovie.
Yeah, I actually.
When I watched it, I was like oh, oh, this isn't just like.
Uh, I didn't realize stevensoderbergh directed it when I
watched it.
And then, um, I was like, oh,so I was watching it with my
girlfriend at the time.
I was like this movie's alittle bit darker than I thought

(07:36):
it was gonna be really well,because I was like, oh, it's
just like.
Oh, yeah, it wasn't just aboutit, um, but that was actually
good.
He did a movie called Unsane.
He started just doing like,really like movies that came out
of nowhere, like really lowbudget, and he was obsessed with
filming things on an iPhone,which is like, honestly, from
2018.
It's like all he did was filmthings on iPhones.

(07:57):
But then he did like UnsaneHigh Flying Bird.
Let them Talk no Sudden Move,which is on HBO, is really good.
Kimmy, which is a really goodmovie it's like an hour and 20
minutes and it's like a perfectlittle thriller, cool.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Is it like the unstoppable Kimmy Schmidt?
Yeah, just like it Sounds good.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
And then he's had like two movies this year,
presence and Black Bag, and Ihaven't watched either one.
Black Bag's on Peacock, if youwant to check it out, um, but
that's a rundown of stevensoderbergh for you, uh, and so
just a couple little facts here.
Um, apparently there was no egoson set, and one of their
favorite things is whoevershowed up late would get a
standing ovation from everybodyfor being late it's great and,

(08:37):
uh, like everyone on set, likeall these giant name stars, um,
they all took a pay cut so thatthey could all be in this movie,
which is that's really cool.
Yeah, it's great, they're like.
It was who said it?
Clooney was apparently the starto take lead on this decision
of everybody taking a cut saidif we all get paid, we can't
make the movie.

(08:57):
And they're all like art, andso George Clooney was the one
that lured julia julia roberts,uh to make the movie.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
um topher grace had to pay double to be in the movie
.
Yeah, he had to pay them.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's like please get me out of this 70 show, even
though I think it was alreadyover.
So she won her oscar for aaronbrockovich.
Um roberts was earning 20million per movie at this point,
which is great.
And in order to woo her toOcean's Eleven, george Clooney
told GQ that he sent her thescript with a $20 bill and a

(09:33):
note explaining he'd heard itwas her right now Nice.
Apparently, george Clooney wasreally bad at gambling because
they all really like duringproduction and stuff, they all
gambled together and stuff andhe was one of the worst.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, when they're in the poker scene with everyone
at the table, he's got like areally bad poker face.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, I know he's like.
The thing is, he's like socharming and handsome.
It's like you don't need apoker face.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Take my money.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Just like, oh you and handsome.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
It's like you don't need a poker face, just like oh,
you got 21 seven times in a row.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
You just keep betting , so he'll look at you, yeah.
And then, like I said earlier,uh, soderbergh was aiming for a
movie that just had a sense offun, um, and that he didn't want
anything terrible happening tothe characters, um, and in the
making of documentary he jokedit's probably the least
threatening film I've ever made.
I was like, and I'm glad aboutthat, yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's interesting.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
And so the I guess they had they were able to do
whatever they want in thecasinos, like all these casinos
give them, like, full access toeverything.
It was great.
That's nice, and apparently thepinch was based on a real
device Nice.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Like an atomic bomb.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, the production team explained that the device
is actually based on a real lifemachine and that they were able
to check it out in person tohelp with their own design.
That's all the information theygave me about it.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
So they're just making things that could take
out an entire city's electricgrid.
Yeah, that's fun, isn't it fun?

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I like thinking about that Yay, and you can steal it
and just rob a bank.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, they didn't really have it guarded very well
.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah.
So regarding Don Cheadle'saccent, cheadle is most known
for in these movies with hisEnglish actions, which has been
criticized by many of the worstin cinema history.
When, speaking to Uproxx,cheetle was presented with a
theory that his character wasreally an American who wanted to

(11:34):
be British, to which Cheetlejokingly accepted yeah, ok,
that's that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
It didn't really seem that bad, yeah, I know it's
like.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
I always remember it being a little bit worse, but
when I was watching I was likeyou can tell it's like, no,
that's no.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
but I was like it's not as bad as I remember I
really love british slangbecause you never know what the
fuck they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's why it was so great doing uh, attack the block
, so good truth.
So did you love the scene wherehe's teaching the celebrity
poker people?
Yeah, I thought that was prettyfunny.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, it kills me to think that they never learned
how to play poker.
But you know, my family taughtme when I was like 10.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
We were all gambling yeah From a young age.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, like with real money, and they used to get mad
at me because I would just be adick, because I didn't know,
like the etiquette, I guess withfamily gambling I was just in
it to win all the time.
Oh, I didn't know there was anetiquette for family gambling.
I think there should be,because there wasn't or they
didn't tell me about it.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
I remember cause, you know, poker became so popular
in the two thousands Right andlike every douche wanted to do
it, I was all in.
We kind of, I think, talkedabout it in the rounders episode
, which you should go back andlisten to, cause that's one of
our best episodes, I feel likejust for doing Malkovich
impersonations which me andNatalie do around the house all
the time.
Um, but like, like you know,it's always like the douchiest

(13:08):
guy guys in your school would belike I'm super serious when
we're just playing with no moneyor anything.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
We have chips.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
You got the upside down sunglasses, yeah I remember
um playing with this one guyand we went to like this church
retreat thing in nashville orwhatever and you know he's
wearing his hat and we're justlike three of us playing.
He like puts his hat real lowso he can't read his poker face
and I was like fuck off.
It's like how are you so lame?

Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's really easy to be lame.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, I do it every day.
So there's a lot of, I guess,jokes dropped by Topher Grace
like his scene.
So you know he was kind oftransitioning from TVs to movies
at this time.
And when Danny joins the youngstars at the poker table, he is
heard asking that 70 show starif he had a hard time

(13:55):
transitioning from movies totelevision.
Oh yeah, the opposite, ofcourse.
Clooney found fame on ER beforebecoming a movie star.
There's also a reference toSoderbergh's Oscar acceptance
speech for the Traffic in whichhe simply said he'd thank
everyone in person.
Grace, who appeared in Traffic,is heard complaining that he
never got thanked.
That's right, he went forTraffic, not Aaron Brockovich.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, Traffic was good as well.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
He thanked everybody but Topher Grace and put in the
movie.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
So this is like apologizing to Topher.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, I guess.
So it's like hey, sorry you canbe in this great movie and act
alongside of uh, um and oh lastthing, um.
Originally, instead of georgeclooney, they wanted bruce
willis, who was actually in aheist movie before.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I think it's called heist oh well, I don't think it
would have been as well.
I think George Clooney was somuch more charismatic and more
handsome.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
He fits in with the group too, like I don't see
Bruce Willis and Brad Pitthanging out together and I don't
see Bruce Willis as a criminal,really really yeah he's always
a cop a diehard.
He made him a cop in our head.
Yeah, he's always a cop, or?

Speaker 2 (15:04):
like he's always a big good guy, like he's always
beating the shit out of everyone.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Also, I feel like you really need hair to play this
part.
Yeah, something about it.
It's like if you don't haveslick back hair, you just can't
be believable in this part right.
Yes, and it's just like, thoughBrad Pitt I mean Bruce Willis
was like super charming.
You know, I just feel like bythe 2000s, like we weren't
really like Bruce Willis, themost charming guy on the planet

(15:31):
you kind of need that, andthat's George Clooney at the
time especially still is.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, and Bruce Willis would have.
I think he's.
Even if they would have triednot to make him a tough guy, he
still would have done it.
Yeah, that's not what you needfor this, yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
All right, bro Shall, we hop into this plot and I
just want to go ahead and saysorry if my notes are wrong.
It's a very complicated movieto take notes for.
Well, they don't 7 am in themorning.
They're always bringing in shitthat they don't tell you you
about, I know.
And then you're like, oh, theheist is real, and but there's
fake elements.
And then it's like or kind ofcut back and forth.
So I just kind of put it when Italk about the heist, I'm like

(16:09):
just explaining that it's allfake, like what parts are fake
while it's going on, instead ofjust doing the reveal because
you everybody's seen this movieat this point.
So let's go.
Oceans 11 baby 2001 what's he?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
why is he in prison?
So, after his wife separateswith him.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Danny Ocean begins to ruin himself.
He commits a crime and isconvicted for it and incurs a
four year prison sentence.
I'm assuming you robbed and gotcaught Later.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
it says that she sent him divorce papers on his last
day.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, which is great.
Got his ass you about to getout you about to be real sad
when you're real sad.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Just the case of what you were thinking about coming
back for me yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
So he doesn't brood on it for four years, so he
doesn't send.
She doesn't send it first day,because then last day he'll come
and he'll kill her plan ofrevenge yeah.
And then it's like oh, if hestews on it for four years he
might kill me.
If I give it to him last day,he's gonna be like what the fuck
?
Yeah, I thought I had a chanceto get back.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Makes his freedom bittersweet.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, it's like oh, he doesn't have a long time to
plan something Turns out, hedoesn't need it.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Which makes me think she's involved the entire time.
She is, though, which is great.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
So, nearing the end of his sentence, a parole board
grants him a hearing where heproves his rehabilitation, but
not as any involvement withother crimes in which he was
implicated.
Yeah, and he totally did, ofcourse.
So once out, danny heads toAtlantic City, where he meets
with Frank Catton in order tofind out the whereabouts of
Rusty Ryan Great name, baby,rusty Ryan.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
They call me Rusty Rusty Ryan.
I was thinking of RustyShackledford, rusty Ryan.
They call me Rusty Rusty Ryan.
I was thinking of RustyShackledford.
What's his name?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Rusty Ryan is a perfect con man name though,
Because, like the name has to besomething like Rusty.
Pretty fun name, right, Ryan,normal-ass name, but for a con
man you have to put themtogether, so you can not trust
him.
Rusty Ryan, you can't trust him, he's a little rusty.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Need some CLR to get rid of the rust of him.
Is that what?

Speaker 1 (18:12):
CLR does.
Yeah, calcium lime rust, nice,yeah, okay, so there's a little
bit of.
I worked at Home Depot.
I know my cleaning suppliesbaby, yeah, barely works.
Almost never works when I usedit.
So we meet Rusty, who'steaching celebrities how to play
poker.
Got Topher Grace.
Joshua Jackson Doesn't knowwhich way to deal the cards.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
It's fun, they all really Deal somebody's sex cards
yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
They all really suck at it, though.
After the poker game, once hepicks up Rusty's trill, danny
violates his parole and crossesthe country, headed to Los
Angeles.
He surprises Rusty at a privatecelebrity poker training
session Rusty is teaching.
The two prove they can stillcoordinate well together when
they take advantage of thetrainees and win good sum of

(18:54):
money.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, it kind of helps them win like thousands of
dollars.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
And like all the celebrities are like oh, they're
just like, oh well, you're badat this dude.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Thanks for teaching us.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
They walk out and Danny and Rusty walk together
and just walk away.
I'm like Topher, you're rightthere Like how do you not notice
this?
So after the Poke game, dannyand Rusty head to a small, very
poorly lit restaurant.
It's like how do you eat inthat restaurant?
All you could see is like thesides of their face and like
everything behind them.

(19:24):
I was like it's romantic.
I was trying to squint to see.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
I was like yeah, but how do you see your food?
You know the food is secondary.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's like you sit down your fork on the table.
You're like shit, you just whendid it go?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Do you have your phone?
Do you have for?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
yeah, this is like pre 9-11 stuff all restaurants
were poorly lit.
Then after 9-11, like we reallygotta light this place up.
Come out before september I'mnot sure, that's just just.
I have to make a 9-11 joke atsome point, apparently I do it
every time, um, but this iswhere danny proposes the idea of

(20:00):
robbing three las vegas casinosthe bellagio, the mirage and
the mgm grand.
That night.
The two go over to the Bellagio, the Mirage and the MGM Grand
that night.
The two go over to therequirements for the job and lay
out for the area where the jobwill take place.
So have you ever been to any ofthese?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Never been to Vegas.
Never been to Vegas.
I thought you did.
I don't even think I've, I'veonly driven through Nevada like
Northern Nevada.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
I've never actually you ever wanted to go.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
I hate gambling, but I want to see some other shit.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I know I'd be like I'll bring $100 to gamble.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's it.
It'll last five seconds, assoon as I like I bet it all.
It's like okay well, well, Iguess I'm tapped out.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Going to the pool and having some drinks.
Anytime I think about Vegas,I'm like what do you do there
other than gamble?
There's.
I know they got a lot of stuffshows and like you can take like
kayaks through, like you knowlike, oh, you mean like the
Hoover Dam and shit, yeah,something like that.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah the Grand.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Canyon.
Yeah, and you got all thelittle things.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
That would be cool.
I've always wanted to go to thegrand canyon and also except I
don't want to go on that glasslike the glass balcony that you.
That makes you feel like you'regonna die.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
I specifically want to do that, for sure, yeah I'm
not really scared of heights Iam terrified.
It's like if I had to go throwme out of a plane.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
I hope I've done that , really.
There's a video of me doing itI looked terrified the entire
time.
I bet your face all over theplace.
My hair was super long, so itwas like my head was on fire.
My bright red hair and you hada guy attached to you.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, on my back.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
The guy was like I can't see.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, he was like this is usually fun.
I should have told him to putin a ponytail.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, you should have .
Yeah, he should have.
Yeah, he would have been smart.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
So not totally convinced about Danny's motive,
rusty asks him why he wants todo the job.
Danny responds with anobviously prepared speech.
But it is enough to gainRusty's trust, danny, because
yesterday I walked out of thejoint after losing four years of
my life and your cold decking.
Team beat, cover boys, becausethe house always wins.
Play long enough.
You never change the stakes.

(22:04):
The house always wins.
Play long enough.
You never change the stakes.
The house takes you, unlesswhen that perfect hand comes
along, you bet big.
Then you take the house.
Rusty been practicing thatspeech, haven't you?
Danny, a little bit Did I rush?
It Felt like I rushed it.
No, it was good, I liked it.
Team beat thing was harsh.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
What's the team beat?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
I have no idea and did you look up any?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
you know all the, all these code words for the.
I guess we're gonna get into it, but like the, the they're
talking about all the peoplethey need for the heist.
Yeah, we need like one of these, two of these.
Like I wonder if that's, ifthose are real yeah, like all
those things are real.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
it's all real, I would assume criminals.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, yeah, hell yeah .

Speaker 1 (22:47):
So the two head to the affluent Ruben Tishkoff's
Manor in Las Vegas where theyrequest financial backing for
the job.
Elliot Gould baby.
I never trust a guy with goldchains, especially when it's got
the star of David oh so good,that was like hell, yeah, david.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Oh so good, that was like hell, yeah, let's go baby.
So there used to be this guythat was.
It was before me and my wifegot together and he was always
hanging.
He, he really liked her too,yeah, but he always had that
look of open shirt.
Yeah, hairy chest, gold chains,and they called him gold chain
Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
I hated that Really and I hated that guy Really.
Yeah, I think you could crushthis.
Look though I probably could.
You should go just like one dayyour wife like leaves the house
.
You just find like a nicestylish shirt, Make sure your
chest hair is popping out.
Have one like fake gold chainor something I'll have to get
some costume jewelry, have somelike you know, like perfectly
trim your beard or whatever.
Slip back your hair.

(23:41):
Just be like Hell yeah, eversleep back your hair, just be
like hell, yeah, some big assrings in my fingers, yeah, so
stogie, shoot.
She'd be like yeah, you'd belike god dang, I'm gonna do it
for halloween, my husbandchanged.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
This is my life now.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I didn't get used to it.
I think she'd love it.
I think that'd be hilarious.
So apprehensive about the ideaof robbing a Vegas casino, Ruben
shoots off three failedattempts and asserts that it
can't be done.
Brings up like the bronze medalattempt.
The guy barely makes it likepast the slot machines.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
That one guy who actually tasted fresh air, yeah
the flamingo in 71.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
The guy gets like almost he breathes through a
tube after they catch him.
And then Caesar 87, that'swhere he got outside, but then
he got shot down.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yes, that was awesome .
Every time you throw a bunch ofshit in the air, it's great.
Yeah, it's great, love it.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
And just as Danny and Rusty are leaving, they mention
.
The owner of the casinos fromwhich they intend to steal is
Terry Benedict, since Benedictand Ruben have a conflicted past
as in he bought he like boughtout Ruben's casino and then he's
gonna tear it down.
Yeah, ruben gains a newfoundmotivation to not be skeptical

(24:54):
and decides to hear who theyintend to recruit and they tell
him so you got they definitelybaited him into doing this
they're very good.
I mean, you got a con man withyou.
Come on Two con men Right andthey're both hottest Working
together.
They're like the hottest conmen you've ever seen in your
life.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
There's nothing he could do.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, there's nothing he could do.
They just walk in and be likewe're doing this.
Be like I wasn't listening.
I was looking in both your eyesat the same time.
So they are going to get FrankCatton that we met earlier.
He gets transferred to one ofBenedict's casinos in Las Vegas
to serve as an inside man.
You get the Mallet Malletbrothers Turk.

(25:36):
Scott Cohn and Virgil Mormonsyeah, played by Casey Affleck,
our humorous pair of carenthusiasts.
Utah In charge of electronicsis the anxious and jumpy
Livingston Dell.
The boy knows how to sweat,it's great.
And then you got Basher Tarr.
Don Cheadle is Danny andRusty's top choice for a

(25:59):
demolitions man, but his otherproject and subsequent arrests
require Rusty to rescue him fromthe cops, which he does by
impersonating an arrogant ATFagent, which is great timing.
I know it's like man, how'd youknow that that was gonna happen?
I guess the idea is like well,I'll dress as ATF if he gets
caught during this heist.
How did he find out, I don'tknow.
And if he makes it out I'll belike cool, hey, you want to do

(26:22):
another one?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Or, if he gets caught , I'll just it seems like Rusty
keeps track of all these guysall the time.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
And apparently, like cops are almost like super easy
to fool in like all these movies, which is great, yeah.
But yeah, I love his accent.
It's amazing because, likeeverything goes to plan and like
him like breaking, like usingthe explosives to get into the,
the vault that we see, it's likeso satisfying how like
perfectly everything hits.

(26:48):
And then they all fall down.
Then he goes in, just walks in,and it's like there's an alarm
pressure, alarm Cause one guydidn't do his job.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, it's like it's going to be great to work with
proper villains.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
And in San Diego they find their grease man in yin, a
circus acrobat, and then theygo and guilt old timer Saul
Bloom, played by Carl Reiner,out of retirement in St
Petersburg, florida, wherethey're watching the dogs race.
Bloom's role is to sneakexplosives into the vault by uh,
posing as a crookedinternational arms dealer who

(27:25):
needs a safe place to sash someprecious stones with.
And I love like.
It's like oh yeah, saul Bloom,he's out of the game.
What was it?
Religion?
No, ulcers.
So now they have 10 peoplealready committed.
Danny goes to Chicago torecruit the young but highly
skilled pickpocket.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
We need Matt Damon, linus, caldwell, george
Clooney's, like we need one moreChicago to recruit the young
but highly skilled pickpocketLinus Caldwell.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Like George Clooney's , like we need one more.
Who is it?
Matt Damon?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Matt.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Damon.
And now that they've havegathered Ocean's Eleven roll
credits, baby, they travel toLas Vegas to organize their
scheme at Ruben's house.
You know, it wasn't until now.
I'm like why do they call thegroup Ocean's Eleven?
I'm like fuck.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Could call it Rusty's Eleven, it's.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Danny Ocean.
It's his team.
I'm such an idiot.
All these years Over 20 yearsof watching this movie.
I'm like why do they call itOcean's Eleven?
But yeah, so they go to Ruben'shouse to plan out the scheme.
Danny believes they can grabover $150 million from

(28:35):
Benedict's casinos on the nightof the big boxing match.
So they go there.
They have their early 2000selectronic blueprint video and
stuff.
I'm like, how'd these guys knowhow to do this?
They're all too handsome toknow how to do this.
It had to be the Dale guy,right.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Ruben, yeah, probably backed it.
He probably paid for the greatillustration.
I know, it's just likeProgramming and everything it's
like.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
You got like the cages the elevators, the hallway
and then the vault.
It's great, it's great, it'sgreat.
I fucking love heist movies,man.
They're so fun.
We're going to do Heat soon,hell yeah.
So after they have a generalunderstanding of the plan, danny
gives the crew members varioustasks to perform before the
night of the heist.
While gathering informationabout the casino's operations,
they build a replica of thevault where the large majority

(29:20):
of the money is kept in order torehearse a video record the act
of taking the money, which isgreat.
I love that you have Dale, thestressful guy who he's got to go
into the security cameras andlike make it to where they have
access to.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
He's rolling on his hand, yeah, and he wipes his
head and he's like all greasy.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Such a fun little like stressful scene, though
it's really good because it'slike you're sweating so much,
bro, but again he's trying toget away, just being so obvious
yeah.
And it's like with all, and itjust goes to show like how the
plan is going to work, becauseit's like a great example of why
they're going to be able to getaway with it.

(29:57):
Right, because all this hightech stuff, it's always down to
just these random people notpaying enough attention.
Because they have all this hightech stuff, there's no way
anybody would be able to get in.
And it's like this is why it'sable to be done.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Let the computers handle everything.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
It's just.
It's great they got socomfortable with how nobody can
actually steal that whensomeone's smart enough to do it.
Like they're so confused by it.
It's like I didn't know thiswas going to be possible.
I'm sure in real life peopleare always trying to steal,
right.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Probably.
I know I get a billion phonecalls.
I went to a gas station theother day for something.
It's something small, it's like$2.
The lady's like what's yourphone number?
I was like what, what?

(30:49):
Why Weird.
I gave it to her and I was.
I was like why did I just giveyou my personal information for
this, like pack of peanuts orwhatever?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
yeah, for real why did you do that?

Speaker 2 (30:57):
I did it now I'm gonna get robbed blind oh my god
, again they have your number.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Now they do.
I don't know what they can dowith your phone number.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
They're gonna call me , I guess, check up on my peanut
situation have you eaten them?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
yet?
I did.
They were delicious.
We just have the best customerservice.
We make sure that everypurchase went well.
And then we also see that Frankand the two, the Malley boys,
they're getting the van.
They're like jumping on the vanand then to get a better deal
on the van, jumping in and thenlike to get a better deal on the
van.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Like Frank, like has this whole lotion story and he's
just squeezing the shit out ofhis hand and it's a discount.
I love watching car dealershipdudes getting owned.
I don't know I feel like I'vebeen just fucked so hard by
those guys.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Man, you so hard by those guys.
Man, you know, and I've onlywent to one car dealership or
myself once and it was just likeI walked in I was like seems
like a good deal of car.
Guys like here's the car, and Iwas like I mean, it seems
pretty cheap for my, for a carwith only like 13 000 miles, and
I bought it and I walked outand I was like okay, that was
easy yeah, I thought it wasgonna be hard I mean, I feel
like I probably could havetalked them down, but I was like
I don't know, it seems like agood price, right.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
When we bought our van, this butthole salesman kept
us and we had a brand new babyand we needed a van because our
car wasn't big enough.
Did you bring the baby?
We did, because we had nowhereelse to go, and they held us
there for like six fucking hoursuntil like 1130 at night before
they let us drive away.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I will say you cannot leave a car dealership if
you're actually going to buy acar.
You don't get to leave unlessyou hit a six hour mark.
Yeah, I feel like when everytime I've gone, it's just been
like Jesus fucking Christ howlong is this going to take?
I'm buying a car.
It didn't even take that longto buy a house.
Like the amount of time likedoing paperwork or like just

(32:54):
like cause, everything's alwayslike do you want this house?
You go see it and it's like Ilike this house, all right.
It's like all right, we'regoing to get started, and then
everything's just emails.
It's like super quick, and thenyou go sign.
The papers took 30 minutes andI'm like it's like it may be
spread out over days, but if youput the time together, nope
it's like two, three hours maybe, unless I did not do the house

(33:15):
buying process right, but youknow so far so good.
Yeah, I've never had that toobad of an issue.
My wife seems to be pretty goodat getting like price down.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Well, mainly because times that she's too bad at an
issue.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
My wife seems to be pretty good at getting priced
down, mainly because at timesthat she's gone she's like I
can't do that price.
They're like, well, what aboutthis car?
Don't like that car, can't dothis price, can't do this price.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Keep lowering it and it's just like it works every
time.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Keep her with you all the time.
She's amazing.
I love that woman.
She knows how to work a car Iget, so intimidated by sales.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
But I can't do it and I flew.
I either get really angry or Ijust cave.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, it's just I.
I honestly, if I ever get like,if, whenever my car dies, which
I'm sure is going to happensoon uh, I'm just like I don't
want to do the process.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
I'm just going to get a bicycle.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm going to go in and be like, yeah, I'll take
that price Whatever.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Let me out of here, just let me leave, yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Anyways.
So while getting a rundown onBenedict from Linus, rusty
eventually sees Tess.
So it's like Linus has been theperson that he's just following
Benedict everywhere, like knowhis whole process and everything
that he's doing, and then Tesswalks down.
Linus is like this is the bestpart of my day.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
She doesn't look that attractive in this movie really
, I guess to me are you bigJulia Roberts?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
you think she's attractive?

Speaker 2 (34:33):
I really liked her look in Aaron Brockovich, like
with the legs and the heels,like what about pretty woman?

Speaker 1 (34:39):
that's fine yeah, so you like her when she, like, is
less gussied up and more justlike normal, like what's the
movie where she drives off acliff?
What the movie where, like,she's on the run?
Oh right, right, right, I ownit yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't
know that movie, so you justkind of like her when she's like

(35:03):
this regular gal.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Maybe Instead of like .

Speaker 1 (35:05):
I'm walking downstairs, the stairs and I'm
all make up up.
Yep, I think she's a babe inthis movie, well anyways.
So Danny oh, it's Danny'sex-wife is now involved with
Benedict, angered that Dannyhadn't previously mentioned her
and Benedict.
He threatens to leave the job.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I love how Saul's like she's too tall for him.
Yeah, she really is, isn't shelike 6'3".

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, she's so tall and this is Rusty is angered
that Danny hadn't previouslymentioned her.
Danny admits that the job isjust a ruse in order for him to
win back Tess and convincesRusty to stay by allowing the
crew instead of himself todecide whether Tess could be
part of this.
Take Um, which of course themovie happened, so they all

(35:51):
agree.
Um, danny runs into the testwhile she is waiting for
Benedict.
They're like in the hotel, likerestaurant or whatever.
Uh, they have a witty back andforth.
Then he tells her he wants herback.
She says no, because Danny's aliar and a thief.
And he's like, yeah, I guessBenedict isn't either.
I only lied about being a thief, yeah.

(36:12):
And then he asked does he makeyou laugh?
She goes, doesn't make me cry,and it's like Julia Roberts.
Ladies and gentlemen, JuliaRoberts delivered the fuck out
of that line.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
He is a fucking disgusting troll.
I hate him, benedict.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, ok, but he is a fucking disgusting troll and I
hate him who Benedict?
yes, okay, turns out they kindof all are in this movie, but
they're the good guys supposedto be, um, so like a bunch of
little Robin Hoods, yeah.
And then we cut to Saul.
He gets Benedict to store someI guess like gems for him, some
precious stones, in his vault.
Uh, benedict agrees that hewill.
Benedict walks up to Tess andDanny while they're talking and

(36:50):
it's fun because, like, benedictand Danny are kind of like
cutting each other down withlike simple, just sentences,
just like just you know the bit,yeah.
So the day before the heist andduring a rehearsal, munitions
expert Basher Tarr's role iscompromised.
When a utilities crew repairs afaulty machine, he was going to
use his advantage in order totake to cut power to the casinos

(37:13):
on the night of the heist.
I love that the building isexploding behind him, but he's
watching it on the TV instead.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
So good I tell you know the movie smart, the sewer
is all covered in shit yeah,it's great.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
So, needing another method for power outage, bashers
suggest using a device strongenough to knock out the city's
power.
Called a pinch.
I took a pinch earlier, if youknow what I mean.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
No, okay so they take a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
So the team goes to California to steal it from a
research facility.
While stealing the pinch,rookie Linus Caldwell is told to
stay in the van.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Not with these guys, not with the Malley brothers.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
They're so annoying.
I know it's like, and they'renot even that annoying I know,
it's really funny yeah.
I would have just been watching.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Linus has probably been around it for a long, for
weeks now.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, Like I hate these guys.
He seems like a character thatis, he prefers to work alone.
Seems like that type of guy.
It seems like Danny, butwithout the person's personal
personal skills, oh, whatever.
So, and he's like fuck it, Ican't hang with these guys.

(38:31):
So he walks into the facilityas they're walking out with the
thing.
They're very fast with it.
All he had to do is just hangout with these guys for one
minute almost, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
He's got all the security guards chasing him
around.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Yeah, because they come out, they load it up, they
drive away Danny's like, where'sLinus.
And yeah, because they come out, they load it up.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
they drive away Danny's like, where's Linus?

Speaker 1 (38:48):
And they see him going up on it and then he's
like, oh shit, breaks out thewindow, jumps on the van, then
he rolls down the wrong side ofthe van yeah.
And then gets in and then whenthey close the door, yen's hands
in it and breaks it.
It's like damn it, linus.
So when they're coming backfrom California the following
morning, with tensions highbetween Linus and Dennis, the
crew plays Linus into taking ona larger role when Danny would

(39:10):
seem incapable because he isbanned from the hotel.
So they had to trick Linus intodoing it.
Yeah, just for fun, I guess.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I guess, Like maybe he's too inexperienced to be
able to keep his cool.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
That's what it seemed like, right, yeah, so Rusty is
giving notes to linus.
Uh, it's like last, last minutetips for him, rusty.
Like he's like holding thebriefcase, like you know he's
gonna go into the high slater.
It's like, rusty, you look down.
They know you're lying up.
They know you don't know thetruth.
Don't use seven words when fourwill do.
Don't shift your weight.

(39:42):
Look always at your mark, butdon't stare.
Be specific but not memorable.
Funny, but don't make him laugh.
He's got to like you and thenforget you the moment you've
left his side.
And, for God's sakes, whateveryou do, don't, under any
circumstance, livingston, russRusty.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, come look at this Sure.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
It's like wait.
It's completely scary.
It's like what's the thing I'mnot supposed to do?
What is the thing he's?

Speaker 2 (40:09):
not supposed to do?
Probably something that he does.
It seems like he doesn't playinto it right.
It must not have been thatimportant.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Yeah, so the night of the heist is the same night as
the heavyweight boxing titlematch at MGM Grand Entertainment
venue, With Livingstoncommunicating with them.
The crew positions themselvesas needed for their particular
expertise and roles in the job.
The veteran Saul sees theexplosives disguised as
gemstones and used to blast openthe door vault and make it down
to the vault.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
I forgot that.
That's what they were.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Yeah, that's what, like the whole reason he puts
them down.
Um, the getaway drivers, turkand Virgil, ensure that Yen, who
is stowed in a money transportcar, gets down to the vault.
He's like in this tiny littlething and he's like I guess
that's why they call him thegrease man, cause he fits in
everywhere.
He's like it's worth it.
It's like, how do you explain?
It's like his arms have to beup and his legs have to be

(40:55):
straight up, and then he's got abreathing like mass thing in
there.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Maybe I want to get him to 30 minute oxygen tags
just in case, why not fill itwith five?
Yeah, it could have had acouple in there, the boy could
have just died, just poke holesin it.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Yeah, so Danny meets with Tess again to plan a cell
phone on her, without herknowing.
It's essentially him sayinggoodbye, tess, I've always loved
you, liar.
So he is then escorted by twoof Benedict's goons to a holding
room in Bellagio's cages.
They leave him inside with abruiser, a thug brought in to

(41:33):
rough up Danny while in theholding.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
For like 30 minutes.
Yeah, Beat the shit out of him.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
I know and he doesn't look too bad after the end of
it.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
I know he didn't look bad at all.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
But I love it when he comes in like he punches him.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
He's like hey, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (41:45):
It's like that's after, not right now.
I know which is great.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
He's just friends with everybody, like he was
friends with the security guardat the building where they got
the floor plans.
Yeah, and he knows this guy.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Yeah, once you're going to give everybody millions
of dollars.
Yeah, I guess so and he allows.
Yeah, and I love it that he'slike this big biker guy.
It's like how did you get thatjob?
How do you get the job?

Speaker 2 (42:10):
of goon of beater upper.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Then Danny escapes through the ventilation system.
So Frank and Linus catchBenedict off guard so that Linus
can pick his pocket for a paperslip containing the main
elevator codes.
This is where so Linus is.
Pick his pocket for a paperslip containing the main
elevator codes.
This is where so Linus is, Iguess, like a the Nevada Gaming
Commission.
Yeah, and he's Representative.
The whole point is that he'sgoing to be like Frank is

(42:36):
actually a convict, so he can't.
He's been to jail Ramon isactually Frank, yeah, and all
that, so he's not allowed toactually be there.
And they get into this likefake racist fight Cracker.
Yeah, it's like man.
I can't even do cards forblackjack.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Might as well call it whitejack.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
So good you know, we at the NGC have always hired
colored people and like we're tothe point of the highest, where
I'm like, gee, this is fun,this is so good, they're all
playing it so well andBenedict's just like constantly
suspicious, like what the fuckis going on this is a weird day.

(43:17):
I have to deal with a lot ofweird characters so far.
So once Linus is in theelevator, because they, benedict
and them walk out, frank's like, benedict's like hey, you're
fucking out of here, frank, stepin here again, I'll kill you,
or whatever.
And then, like Linus is likeshoot, I forgot my beeper.
I got to go get it.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Oh, man, wait, why do they have pagers when they have
cell phones?

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Yeah, Well, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
It's still not that Maybe not.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Maybe not Everybody has a cell phone Transitional
period yeah, cell phones.
That point where we, where wedidn't have a lot of technology
with us all the time constantly,but we had a little bit and it
was really weird.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (43:53):
even like I don't know, good old days, I guess At
least it's easy to travel now.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Now I can look at boobs anywhere I want, anywhere.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
But but then like Benedict's, like you know your
way out, and it's like, yeah,and it's like what, benedict?
I mean I guess he believes him.
So Linus looks successful.
Then we see Saul.
He's faking a heart attackinside the eye in the sky and
living scene alters the casino'ssecurity security system,
camera monitoring system, jesusso do you think that Saul was
practicing this, this like heartattack or whatever?

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah, every time he looked sick.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
I think he was getting nervous and his ulcers
were acting up and he was likemaybe he was getting nervous
that he couldn't do the thing orI don't know, the guy's just a
professional, I guess.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
He's really good at his job.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, so Linus opens the elevator hatch where Danny
awaits the chef in the shaft,scaring Linus.
And finds out he was played byDanny and Rusty and he's like
what wait.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Where's the fun in that?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
where's the cause Linus is like why didn't you
just tell me he's like what'sthe fun in that?

Speaker 2 (44:59):
he's like what about the argument between you and
Rusty?

Speaker 1 (45:01):
yeah, they obviously didn't believe the Linus a
little bit I think it wasbecause of his whole issue from
earlier.
They're like we can't trust you, but then he says he can trust
him now.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, yeah, which, whatever so.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Rusty disguises himself as a doctor, responding
to Saul's fake heart attack.
Yeah, and he's like, he's likedoing CPR, it's like damn it we
lost him.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Give it a mouth to mouth.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
So he has the wheel, saw out of the Cisino on a
stretcher.
Basher readies the pinch toactivate on Livingston's cube
and grabs his balls.
Yeah, and so when it goes offlike oh, the entire city loses
power and at that point theboxing match is going on so it
cuts to black.
The power outage is going nuts.

(45:49):
Yeah, the like mayhem.
Like everybody in the, the twoboxers are starting to actually
fight each other and likeeverybody when the lights go out
, everybody in the casino arejust stealing chips and they're
just getting beat up and it'slike I never thought everyone
would immediately becomepsychopaths.
Yes, if they have the chance.
Money, money Just laying around.
So if Las Vegas loses power,run for your life.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Just get under a table.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Yeah, so Linus and Danny zip line down the elevator
shaft and knock out two guardsto get to the door of the
elevator, to get to the door ofthe vault.
I love it.
I was like man, I do notremember this Mission Impossible
shit in this movie.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
do not remember this mission impossible shit in this
movie.
And it's funny that the lasersare always visible, because I
don't think that's the thing,but you know, whatever.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
It's still cool.
It's classic movie stuff, youknow.
Yeah, this is like CatherineZeta-Jones in Entrapment.
Yes, catherine Zeta-Jones, shedips beneath lasers.
We're colleagues.
So with some nice moves fromYen, he was able to set
explosives to blow the vaultdoor.

(46:50):
I love it, because was itFranken?
What's his name?

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Ted Buck says he shorts it, he's like nobody.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
He does this flip, he almost falls down, he goes too
far.
And then, when he's putting thethings onto the vault door, you
have Linus and Danny on theother side.
They're about to explode thedoor, but he gets his cast stuck
and he's like, oh God dang it.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
He's like bracing for the explosion.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, it's like, dude , you're going to die and so.
But when his hand gets stuck,the door's about to blow but the
explosives don't go off becausehe forgot to put batteries in
it.
And luckily Linus had somebatteries, giving Yen time to
get to safety.
I love Yen.
I love that he speaks onlyChinese and everybody seems to
understand what he's saying.
A little broken English.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Yeah, chinese, and everybody seems to understand
what he's saying.
A little broken english, yeah,well, I don't think they
understand him.
I think they just kind of gethis.
Uh, they get that heunderstands them well, they they
?

Speaker 1 (47:45):
I don't know, it's just funny yeah it's like it's
like when chewbacca talks andlike honk nose.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
They know yeah they just kind of hear it.
It's like listening to therobot.
How the fuck do you know it's?

Speaker 1 (47:58):
like when my cats meow, like usually.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
I'm like I sometimes know yeah, you spend enough time
with a chewbacca.
You kind of yeah, you kind ofget it not comparing chewbacca's
times, people.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
That's not what we're doing here.
We're talking about languagetalking about, yeah, getting
over the language barrier yeahexactly so as ben as Benedict
and Tess leave the arena, thephone planted on Tess rings and
she picks up with hesitationbecause she's like I don't have
a cell phone On the other end ofthe call.
Rusty immediately requests.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
What a crazy thing to say yeah, it's like I don't
have a cell phone.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
It's 2001.
We don't have this yet.
Rusty immediately requests tospeak with Benedict.
Aggressively, benedict demandsthe identity of the caller.
Rusty doesn't give his name,but begins to confess that
Benedict is at the very momentbeing robbed.
Benedict and Tess immediatelyhead for the eye in the sky.
Love that name, by the way.
If I had like For the controlroom, yeah, if I had any sort of

(48:52):
camera like you know, like ringcamera, I'd call it the eye in
the sky, yes, the eye in thedoor.
So as Rusty.
Eye of Seldron, oh, evenfucking better, dude, that's
great.
So, as Rusty continues,livingston feeds the security
monitoring system a recording ofthe crew's rehearsed robbery,
allowing Benedict to get theimpression his vault was being

(49:13):
robbed right under his nose.
We don't know this yet, right,which makes this so fun.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
I robbed right under his nose.
We don't know this yet, right,which makes this so fun.
I also didn't know about Saulhaving a heart attack, and that
made me feel bad for him.
Yeah, I've already seen themovie before, but, like you know
, yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
So Rusty tells him that theft is only for half of
the amount in the vault and thatthe other half will be
booby-trapped.
He continues saying if Benedicttries to hinder the theft at
any time, he will destroy boththe stolen half and the half
left behind as collateral.
So after Benedict sees this, heasks Tess to leave the room.
Irritated by his request, shegoes.
As Tess walks through thiscasino floor, she runs into

(49:50):
Rusty.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
That would be one of the coolest things to watch a
heist in action.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
I know I'd be like no , tess, I'm test.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
We're broken up, but I'm staying right here.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah, it's like screw this, we can break up, but I'm
watching this in action.
This is awesome yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I felt so bad for Saul when he's going down the
rope, yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Well, he could have set this one out, I know right.
So she runs into Rusty whilethe ransom she asks about Danny.
Rusty tries to alleviate herconcern and asks her to go up to
her hotel room.
He's covering the cell phonewith his hand.
Benedict instructs his managerWalsh to call for a SWAT team.
The call is intercepted byLivingston impersonating a
dispatcher.
Once Walsh is assured service,benedict agrees to Rusty's

(50:35):
demands.
Hell, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
That's a really cool twist.
Are they like threatening toblow up the money?
I don't remember that at all.
Yeah, I know, because it's likeyou really got him in a pinch
here.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
It's like I could only lose half or I lose it all.
Yeah, it's just like you'restill going to piss a lot of
people off if you lose.
I'm sure he's wealthy enough tocover the other 80 million,
right?

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Oh yeah, for sure.
If we make that a day.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Yeah, I mean, it's all gonna be insured.
So it's just, nobody will trustthat casino anymore.
Yeah, like they'd be, like Ican't put my money here anymore.
So Rusty then gives Benedictinstructions for the secure
transport of the money out andaway from the casino,
threatening to destroy bothhalves Should Benedict try to
hinder the process at any time.

(51:21):
Disguised as the requested SWAT, until Rusky unit Rusty, frank
Turk, livingston Basher and Saularrive at the casino's entrance
, they proceed through thecasino down to the vault where
they meet Danny, linus and Yen.
I love it because you can heartheir voices, so you know that
it's them.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
It's the same voices he was just talking to.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
I know, it's just a little bit more country, it's
just a little different.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
It kind of sounds like him from Inglourious
Bastards.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Yeah, I wonder if they're like do that voice.
But I'm trying to think Iwatched this as a kid.
I'm sure I fell for it.
I can't remember now because youknow once you watch it, you
always remember, but like as akid I'm pretty sure like that
could be anybody, because we'rea bunch of country kids.
So, with Benedict in hissecurity room overseeing their

(52:08):
impersonated SWAT unit, theyhave him cut the power to the
vault so there is no light.
But maintain radio contact withBenedict.
Maintain radio contact withBenedict.
Benedict listens as they act asif they could confront the
robbers with gunfire and a loudexplosion happens immediately
after.
Benedict angrily orders Walshto capture the van which was on
its way to McCarran Airport thatwas used to transport half the

(52:29):
money out of the casino.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
And Ruben's always around, like in different he's
in all these different placesLike he was at the casino
watching the fight.
Different he's in all thesedifferent places, like he was at
the casino watching the fight,and then he's in the car with
him.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Yeah, this is constantly everywhere.
He wants to see everything.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Hell yeah, I would too, because he hates Benedict.
He paid for all of it, yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
So he then storms out of the security room and down
to the vault At the airportBenedict's men pursuing the van
attempt to capture it In anearby car.
Ruben and Virgil watch asVirgil operates the van's
movements by remote control.
He's like I just kind of want tomess with him for a second.
So in the vault, the crewconvinced Benedict that the
robbers used the explosions toescape without a trace.

(53:10):
Irritated Benedict orders thecrew to leave the casino.
He's like, no, we shouldprobably stay.
And he's like no, get out ofhere.
He's like no, we shouldprobably stay.
And he's like no, get out ofhere.
He's like, well, it's yourvault.
Then contacts Walsh for anupdate concerning the van.
After Benedict's men discoverthat no person was inside the
van, virgil sets off anincendiary incendiary inside it.

(53:32):
Jesus Christ, both Benedict andhis men at the airport find
that all the stolen money wasneither in the vault nor in the
van.
Instead, the bags were, whichwere supposed to be filled with
cash, were filled with adultadvertisements in the form of
flyers yeah sex workers.
All the cops are like oh, let mekeep this just in case.
Oh man, this is so fucking good, it's so funny.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Do you think he realized that that they were
flyers immediately, because hewalked in there and there was
some money and coins and stuff,but like most of it was flyers.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Yeah, well, I think I don't even think he really
realizes.
Well, I don't think there wasflyers in the In the vault, yeah
there were yeah yeah, there wasflyers in the in the vault.
The other word yeah, yeah,there was.
I think what he noticed firstwas the fact that uh the name.
Uh, yeah, wasn't on the floor,yeah, because, as he walks
around his destroyed vault,benedict noticed the bellagio
logo on the floor, which hadbeen very recently installed.
He immediately cross-checks theauthenticity of the theft by

(54:29):
asking walsh to review the tapein the security room, and it's
not there.
So it's a pretty much just anentire setup.
Benedict infers that they werewatching from the security room
earlier with stage.
Curiously, he heads to theholding room where Danny was
taken.
I love it.
He arrives to find Bruiserconvincingly giving Danny a
beatdown, even though he shouldbe way bloodier.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
He was really bad at faking all that.
Yeah, he's like oh God.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
It's like you had enough.
It's like you've been beatenfor 30 minutes.
You should be black and blueall over.
You should be bleeding a lot.
Should have punched him alittle harder before he got in
there.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
For sure this movie shit, though, break a couple
ribs.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
It's like George Clooney is like this handsome
face.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
My moneymaker.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
You have to make it to where I look beaten and sexy
at the same time, okay oh yeah,so they have one little smudge
on his cheek of blood a littlebit a little bit blood on his
little collar yeah, he askeddanny if he was involved in the
theft, but danny plays clueless,so benedict decides to let him
leave, so he's just gettingbeaten because of trying to get
back with his wife.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Yeah, the whole reason for the heist summed up
in this one little shot.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Yeah, so good.
Anxiously waiting in her hotelroom, tess gets a call from
Livingston who instructs her towatch Channel 88.
When she turns on thetelevision, she sees Danny,
benedict, his two goons andBreezer walking down the hallway
, exiting the cages.
Danny suspiciously asksBenedict if he had just been
robbed, prompting Benedict toask again about Danny's

(56:00):
involvement.
Danny, it's like Danny, justfucking rules.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Danny offers.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Benedict a deal to recover Benedict's money in
exchange for Tess.
When Benedict agrees to thecondition, tess picks up her
things and leaves the room.
He's like man, I just made somuch money and did this
elaborate plan just to be likehey.
By the way, the dude you'rewith is a douche.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
That's how hard it is to convince your ex-wife that
the person she's with is anasshole.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
You have to go through this whole process.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
But I think she would have also still been mad at
Daniel.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
A little bit.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
Like she wouldn't have gone back to him
immediately.
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
And it's like you probably could have gave her a
month with this Benedict guy andshe would have figured all this
out.
Yeah, maybe she should haveknown whenever.
Because earlier in the filmthey're like looking at art yeah
, she was going to go in for akiss.
He's like I got cameraseverywhere and it's like, okay,
he's a douche.
Yeah, that's, he couldn't eventell her what he thought of the

(56:59):
painting.
He's like I just like that.
You like it Like I'm apsychopath.
I think it's just.
I think when you're thatwealthy and you have so much
stress in your life around thesevaults, yeah, that it's just
like.
Because when you look atBenedict throughout this movie,
it's like is he really that badof a guy?
He has so many other people'smonies in this place right.
The only thing is of course he'snot going to be a good husband.

(57:20):
This is a very stressful job.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Neither is Danny Right.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
They're not that different, so Benedict's not
that bad of a guy.
Of course, a guy who owns acasino is going to beat the shit
out of people who try to steal.
That's what casinos do.
Tess already knows that, soit's just like Well she didn't
know that he does it.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
She never gets to see a side of Terry.
Yeah, but it's a casino.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Other than when he's working.
Everybody's known since the 30s.
If they even had casinos backthen, this is what you do to
people who rob.
I don't know If they rob,they're either going to get beat
up in jail or beat up here.
It's like which one's better?
She likes bad boys, yeah, Iguess.

(58:02):
So it was just kind of one ofthose things where I was like
benedict, he's a dick, but kindof everybody in this movie is
right.
So it's like he's not like in Idon't know.
I guess I just find, uh, what'shis name?
Garcia.
Uh, the actor, I kind ofactually just find him charming
too in a weaselly way, I don'tknow.
So, um, yeah, yeah, she picksup her stuff, leaves the room.
Danny tells Benedict he couldfind the culprits with the help
of an ex-con acquaintance forhis I know a guy Acquaintance of

(58:24):
his in 72 hours, only threedays.
So, not convinced, benedictdenies the deal.
He then has Danny escorted outof the casino and into custody
of the local law enforcement,violating his parole.
Afterwards, benedict arrives atone of the casino's elevators.
When the doors open, he seesTess inside.
The two exchange eye contactand silence for a moment.
Then she brushes past him.

(58:46):
He calls to her and she turnsaround only to tell him that she
was watching him at some point,and after he had her leave this
, after he had her leave thesecurity room, it's like I got
eyes everywhere in this hotel.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Yeah, she's like you should know better than anyone.
Yeah, there's always someonewatching, always someone.
Yeah, that was the actual line,but Terry is really smart, he
figured it all out prettyquickly.
Yeah, like how they did thewhole thing I was like damn,
Didn't expect any someone tohave this amount of money to do
this.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Why.
It seems like he had plenty ofmoney just to do whatever you
wanted anyways.
So instead of stopping here,benedict enters the elevator.
He's like fuck, I lost.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Which is great.
He's already planning hisrevenge.
Yeah, because you kind of seehe's even got like a little bit
of a smirk on his face becausehe's thinking about all the
shitty things he's going to doto these people.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
And I also think it was just like damn, that was
like that was a good god damnheist, nice play.
Yeah, it's like you, I thinkeven it's like after he was like
all he gets back to his room islike probably like golly.
These guys deserve this moneyat this point.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
I know he just immediately gets to work on him
yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
so Tess quickens her pace as she's walking through
the casino, then runs throughthe casino to leave.
Once outside she sees Dannybeing walked into a police car,
referring to him as her husband.
Aw, she calls out and runs tothem as they're nearly about to
drive away.
The two exchange goodbyes andthe car drives off, leaving her
standing by the valet stationalone.
I feel like Julia's charactercould have had if they would

(01:00:14):
have given her a best friend tohang out with her to could have
had if they would have given herlike a best friend to hang out
with her to like help, keep herlike she'd be like nah, you
ain't going back to him, don'ttalk to her, we're going to go
find some men in the casino, thebest place to meet people.
So, having successfullyaccomplished their tasks, the

(01:00:36):
rest of the crew, dressed innormal attire, gather around the
Bellagio's fountain displayedduring a show.
They watch contently, insilence and satisfaction, as the
show continues.
They leave, one by one, goingtheir separate ways.
It's wonderful.
So originally they're supposedto just be walking down the road
and then slowly like walkingaway from each other, but then,
like I guess Soderbergh was,like let's do it in front of

(01:00:56):
this fountain.
And he's just like all right,when y'all feel it's time to go,
just like look at this fountain, being proud of yourselves and
like how great the show is orwhatever the fountains, and then
, whenever you feel good, walkaway, first person that's
supposed to walk away?

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
It's Brad Last.
You would have been able tocontain your excitement from
what you just did.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
I would just be like you know, as we see this SWAT
car kind of leaving the placeand going to where they're going
to hide the SWAT car, I'd belike this is so good, we're so
smart.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Then I'd be paranoid forever.
Hope Danny's not dead.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
Yeah, I'd be like, alright, well, I'm going to
another country now forever.
Yeah, I'd be like all right,well, I'm going to another
country now forever.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
So three to six months afterthe job.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
That's how long he said he was going to be gone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Yeah, and then I love like the title card pops up
three to six months later, dannyis released from the same
prison.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Rusty stands outside the front gate.
Hope you were the groom.
Yeah, yeah it's great.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
They give each other friendly insults and head
towards Rusty's car.
Hope you were the groom TedNugent called.
He wants your shirt back Alongthe way.
Rusty subtly points out thatBenedict's two goons are in the
nearby vehicle.
In the back of Rusty's car seatsits Tess.
Danny joins her, the two kissand Rusty drives off and away.

(01:02:14):
Not far behind Benedict's menfollow Cut to black.
Yeah, yeah, drives off and away, not far behind Benedict's men
follow Cut to black.
Yeah, yeah, fuck, yeah, hellyeah, that was great.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Watch the next one right now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
I know they're not as good.
I think 13's probably.
I think I enjoyed 13 more than12.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
I just saw 12.
I never saw 13.
Watch all of them.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
They're all great it's.
I think maybe I'm getting itwrong.
I think 13,.
They're just like.
Is that the one where theysteal the Fabergé egg Dude?
I can't remember, man, Iactually got the heist confused
from one of the other movies.
I was like didn't it all gowrong at some point?
But that's in one of the otherones.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
I love the dancing thief guy in the next scene, the
rival thief.
I can't remember which one he'sin.
I can't remember either, butthat's the one with the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Fabergé egg.
I didn't realize how much Ithought these all blended
together, like I remember howthis one begins and then like
how the crew comes together.
But I was just like afterwardsI was like how does this heist
go?
Which heist is this?
But yeah, love it.
Love, a good fun heist movie.
Hell, yeah, it's like just giveme 15 of these Over.

(01:03:19):

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
Just all of them together in one movie, so it's
always the best shit and I'llput down in my notes avengers
wish they could assemble a movielike this oh yeah, they do.
They couldn't heist anything.
They tried an in-game wherethey're gonna like get a time
machine gym, the power, gymstones, whatever, okay, yeah
sure which was fun.

(01:04:11):
But you know, I don't know.
It's just, there's something sosleek about this movie that
just like yes, yeah like the uh.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Intelligent heist to me is always better than just
brute force.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Yeah, exactly like there was no fighting in this.
It's just like people use theirsmarts and skills and money to
get into places thick as thieves.
Yeah, I don't know, it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
It's like a, an adult person's fun movie right, well,
yeah, by um, I was watching itthis morning and my
eight-year-old, myseven-year-old?
No, how old is she?
Five, she's five.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Six, she's six, she I have no idea how old she is at
this point I forget sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
She really liked the part where they're uh, the
Mormon brothers are racing thecar and he runs it over.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
She laughed so hard at that?
Did she enjoy the whole movie?
No, she had to go to school.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Oh, that makes sense I keep her out of school to
watch movies.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
Dude, wish you were my dad.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
We do get them out of school to watch movies.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Sometimes movies, Jason adopt me.
Oh yeah, because y'all got themout of the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Minecraft.
Yeah, that was awesome.
We had a great time.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
We were in the theater with all the
homeschoolers if you, literallyif any parent wanted to take me
out of school to watch any movie, even if it sucked, I'd be like
this is a pretty good movie ifyou ask me I don't care how bad,
this movie is pretty good movie.
If you ask me, I don't care howbad this movie is pretty good
movie.
If I got out of school early,um, for the bad I said uh, the
fact that it's a perfect movie.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
I guess that's I guess that's bad, I don't know I
don't really have anything bad,and the only thing that I
thought was a little ugly wasthe dog race oh yeah, that's
true.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
I hate that that's still a thing, and the fact that
his dog was so far in lastplace he's like oh fuck it,
everybody knows this.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Like how he breaks at the end, yeah, and it's just
like nope, dog, didn't?
He's very far behind have youever been to a dog race?
I haven't.
We spent one day there a longtime ago, me and my friends, and
like at the time I was having ablast.
Until afterwards you realizelike these dogs have pretty
shitty.
Me and my friends, and like atthe time I was having a blast,
yeah, until afterwards yourealize like these dogs have
pretty shitty existence.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Yeah, which sucks.
I mean like if I had like asuper fast dog that could win
races, I'd be like this dog willbe pampered for the rest of
life, right?

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
I mean, I think, yeah , there's like adoption agencies
that try to adopt out thesegreyhounds, really, because once
they're done with them, theyeither just get killed or they
just get thrown out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
Yeah, so it's like horse races and stuff like that
Same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
I didn't know about horses, horse shows.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Horse shows, they treat those horses terribly.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
I don't think not even horses deserve that.
And I'm saying a lot and hehates horses, man horses.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Um man, do you like greyhounds with the dogs?
I think they're beautiful.
Yeah, awesome, apparentlythey're crazy dogs.
Don't, because obviously youhave to have.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
I think they're a racing track to keep them.
There's this one tiktok creatorthat dresses her greyhound up
and all these like fancy outfits, is it?

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
like the small greyhound it's like t or
something, maybe yeah, and it'slike this tiny, like miniature
greyhound looking thing, uh, I,I think, I I think it's like
named iggy or something likethat.
Yeah, uh, it's so cute.
It kind of like trembles, likea little bit of a chihuahua does
.
I do, I do like you know.
My wife works in uh vetmedicine or whatever and uh, so

(01:07:32):
you know she knows all likeabout the breeds and how they
act and stuff and she's's likeGreyhounds, no we can't do that
and I was like, but they're socute, but I like you know their
skin is like so thin Apparently,you can like see through.
Yeah, that's awesome, but yeah,they're adorable looking they
are.
So yeah, little faces For theugly for me is like there's no

(01:07:59):
fucking way you find all thesethieves and they're all hot.
Insane.
Is that just like somethingthat is true, Because I mean all
the thief movies, becausethey're actors, they're all
attractive.
But like back in the day, whenyou had like the thief movies,
like the movie Thief, I'm like,no, none of these people are
attractive.
It's like I feel like this ismore realistic?
Yeah, maybe, but, like a lot ofthem are also con men and I

(01:08:19):
think in order to be a con man,I don't think you have to be
super attractive, but I think ithelps you have to be like you
saw Lost, like Sawyer, whereit's like he's attractive but
also kind of not attractive, buthe's like he's a man, you know,
and I feel like you have tolook like a man, and and like
what I mean by that is like youlook like a goddamn man right.

(01:08:40):
Like this person could take careof me, type of look to him,
even though he might not besuper attractive, but he looks
like a man, you know.
Yeah, sure, I guess I justwanted to say the word man.
A lot For the fine.
I said heist movies, baby.
Yeah, fuck, yeah, anytimethere's a heist movie I'm down

(01:09:02):
to watch.
Just even if it was bad, I'd belike pretty good heist movie.
Um and soderbergh, it's kind ofthe king of heist movies.
Yeah, there's a lot of themreally three oceans movie, and
um, he did all three otheroceans oh well, yeah and uh,
he's got logan lucky, which islike redneck version of this
movie that's great and um, thatother movie that I what was it?

(01:09:22):
Shit, shit, shit shit withgeorge clooney and j-lo, um oh,
it's really good, it's reallygood.
You just said it earlier.
Yep, I did, and it's called outof sight, which is fun.
I can't remember if that's awhatever, I'll cut this.
Um, but yeah, sutterberg, he'sjust an excellent director.
And I feel like he's not asknown of a name, but the guy's

(01:09:43):
just kind of one of the smartestdirectors we have and we don't
appreciate him enough.
What do you got for the fine?

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
No, I think that pretty much sums it up.
I love heist movies.
I mean there are some bad onesand I think over the years you
go back.
If you go back and watch olderheist movies, they're just not
as good, yeah.
But this one really held upmore than the others, yeah.
So I think maybe it's justdefined as so to work.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
We'll be doing a few more.
Like Michael Mann does somegood heist movies Heat and Thief
.
I've never seen the Sting andThief.
I've never seen the Sting.

the whole like planning out.
