Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcaste
Elvis Represents Minute Morning Show. You've got a lot of
stuff in your bag, Daniel, I do I have a
lot of crap? Do you really need that? Ja? That's obsession?

(00:25):
Have you very funny? Did you see it? Yeah? So
don't say I can't see because it can't be as
good as you've described. So freaking fun Jack Black, your
moves me right there? Hard are so Jack? That's amazing.
Black is awesome in this movie. You know what role
he plays in this one? He plays Jack Black? Now
he doesn't every movie he's Jack. Yeah, he's Jack Black.

(00:47):
How you guys are missing out? Guys google Jim John Blushi.
That's really what Jack like? Okay, guy, I love them
in School of Rock, but that's oh Rent Jamanji or
deep whatever you do at home? Would you have TV
and watch it? Then come back to me because it's

(01:08):
freaking hysterical. Can we talk about Jack Black Simore? It's
so funny. Jack Black is a very underrated actor. Did
you ever see the movie The Jackal with Richard Gear
The jack The Black Jackals Snap The Jackal? Black Jack
Blackjack plays this guy that that works in I don't

(01:30):
know Black ops or something I can't remember, but he
builds this machine for no pun attended for Richard Gears
or no for what's his name? Bruce Willis who plays
an assassin, and the character is only about five minutes long.
But it's before Jack Black was famous, and I love
watching actors in movies before they were big and famous.

(01:52):
He's awesome. Okay, So you're defending Jack Black by saying
the only thing good he's really done was before he began. No,
it shows the comedic genius that was about to explode
onto this thing. I will say one of my favorite
SNL sketches in the past ten years was Jack Black.
You can't find You can't find it online because SNL
hides everything. But it was a scene where he's a newscaster.

(02:13):
He just got hired to join a news team, like
he's a new anchor, and they're doing like a photo
shoot with a white background, and they're like, okay, the
guy says, the cameras says, all right, everybody, we're gonna
walk around at natural and then when the music stops,
everybody just point to someone else, right, like you say, hey, right,
So everybody points to everyone, but him. He's like, um,
nobody pointed to me. Let's do it again. They keep

(02:33):
doing it. He notices no one's pointing at him, so
then you have to see it. But then they all
do goofy faces and they don't do it with him.
They all grouped together. It's a very dopey sketch. But
he's good in it, and he's not completely Jack Black
in it. Okay, Okay, he in Duman Jack Black Circle
plays a female character, Jacqueline Black. If you know, you'll

(02:55):
see and the penis scene is so Jack how funny
is a penis scene it? I'm telling you, guys, just
give yourself a chance to watch it. I mean I will.
This movie is so perfect because you don't watch movie.
You hardly watch movies. When I sit and watch it
for the tenth time, I always say, this movie is
perfectly cast. There is not one role that is not

(03:16):
the perfect. Person in this room never ever puts any
stock or faith in anything anyone has to say when
it comes to film and movies and TV whatever, like
Like great T had a point the other day about
Tropic Sunder. How funny. That's a freaking funny film. Jack
Black's in it. You don't want to hear it. I

(03:37):
think it's because it's so Elvis movie. But it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. And Jack Black in that movie is hilarious.
Why should if I tell you to go see, um
what I saw, the play that goes wrong on Broadway.
I'd like to see that. Okay, that's cool, thank you,
But you're going to ruin my point. But thank you.

(03:59):
My point is I saw. I'm full of opinions. I'm
full of it. But we all no, no. But what
I'm trying to get at is we never really put
too much stock and what each other has to show. Normally,
when great te recommends something, it gets canceled. True. I'll
tell you, you know, one of the secrets to funding

(04:19):
movies that you like, because there's a lot to come
out with two or three every weekend, and you know,
i'd say suck right based on your own preferences. Go
to Rotten Tomatoes and find a reviewer that likes the
same movies you do, and then look at what he
says about upcoming movies. Chances are you like, actually, somebody
in the room, Brody and I like the same type
of movies we love. Logan Logan Baby Driver was amazing, fantastic.

(04:43):
See now, if you guys told me to watch those films.
But I'm not sure if you would like that like Logan,
you wouldn't like Baby Driver. You're not that type of movie.
But you've got to find somebody that likes those movies.
You do. If you like die Hard, if you like Jumanji,
and you like these other movies, great, go find a person.
Have a full circle. Danielle has been hawking Jumanji for month.

(05:04):
Let me to tell you I should be getting to.
I didn't even get paid to do the commercials for Jumanji.
It's so damn good. I'm no closer to seeing it now. Why.
I don't know why the original I didn't see it.
You didn't see these Williams. What I'm saying is, we

(05:25):
don't do we do this to each other though we
never How good was Jumanji? I have to be honest,
it was good. Think about about we're recommending Jumanji too
scary And I do have a beef. I do have
a slight beef juman Jumanji in particular right now, but

(05:46):
movies in general. I do have a slate beef with
Jumanji because the first one was actually very good. I
didn't really want to go see the second Jumanji because
you think it would ruin it. I don't think it
would ruin it. I think the first one was done
so well there was really no reason to re make it.
My problems, my problem with Jumanji, the one you're talking about,
is because of the first one. Robin Williams is a genius.

(06:07):
I'm a big fan. He passed away. I feel like,
because this movie is nothing like the first one, it's
not a remake. That's not a remake. They should have
called it like Jumanji, Jumanji to the Rock, or something
like Jumanji to the Waterfall, whatever is in the movie.
I feel like giving it the same name keepen the
original movie by not giving it too. I think the

(06:29):
movie was hysterical. I did not even see Jumanji originally
because I enjoyed the first Jumanji song. There's no freaking
this one is better. I never finished. I am telling
you it is better. I was at Rhea's house watching
a game, and then we started getting it on, and
before you knew it, we were like, our clothes are

(06:50):
on the floor. So we never even finished watching Jumanji,
My buddy, that happened to him? With that, the Joy
Luck Club turned it to the joy Suck Club about
five minutes. Wow, Actually that happened with the thirteen going
on thirty. I don't know how to do. Can I
ask you some about movies? Some movies. You guys are
all gonna love this. Have you guys realized? Think about

(07:13):
this right? There were comedies in eight in the eighties,
there were comedies in the nineties. There are no more
comedies today. Think of a comedy that's been out within
the last five years. There's none you're talking about like
Farelli Bromatize Style in the eighties. What's your favorite comedy

(07:33):
of the eighties? Airplane? There you go right off the bat,
The Dad's movie something Dad's Yeah. There are comedy moms.
There are comedies now, Big Best, the Best Dad Babysitters
or that's what I'm saying, You got Dads. That Dads
is a great movie. You cannot find good comedies more

(07:58):
within the last five years, Amy Schumer, that movie train
Wreck and not just read an article that movie Will
Farrell step Brothers. Can we just point out the fact
that Greg t continues to make his point, even though
point don't give me examples. I'm telling you, what about
the first two Hangover films? Those are awesome? Hangovers Super

(08:23):
super Bad was great. Can I say something about Hangover
and be totally honest with me? From the same we're like,
oh my gosh, this is the best movie. The first one. Yeah,
it was so stupid and overrated. I sat there watching
this and I looked at my husbands and I went,
am I missing because I'm not agree? And he looked

(08:43):
at me and he said, no, you're I don't get
it either. I agree. I thought. I thought The Hangover
had like three or four funny things. The fun I
think if you're someone, if you're someone who gets drunk
a lot, you go, maybe you couldn't relate and go,
oh yeah, I look, Mike Tyson, you know the tiger
coming in the in the in the car. But after
after a while, it was like, Okay. Another psyche was

(09:05):
American Pie when it came out good excellent. Wait, you
know when when He Crushes came out years ago? Exactly?
Don't make it. Wait. I read an article what about
the part where is this article from? That millennials are

(09:25):
no longer into comedies because they don't treat people that way.
They don't get it, so that that like making fun
of people whatever or like slapstick, they're not into it.
So movie movie makers are making more movies that that incur,
that make you think and like you know, or like
or like adaptations of stuff that's real. Their comedies are gone.
They've gone by the wayside. They do not make comedy

(09:47):
movies any longer. They don't make they don't make my
comedy and the lost sense that's what you're saying, Like
the genre still exists, the type of comedy and what
they do to get a lat those funny pieces like
jaman Like Danielle was right, Jamanji is a funny movie,
but it's not a comedy. The Big Sick was comedy
that was funny, see, but the Big Sick that's not

(10:09):
the comedy like Airplane, Fris Bueller's Day Off. It's not
like that. All all the movies coming to America classic
I want to hear out. I'm sorry I was rude
to you for the first No, but I can see
the untrigued. Everybody else is still big rout here. I've
actually come around. I've turned a corner here because you
told me about this article that exists. It's true. But

(10:31):
think about this, and it's it's a true article. Millennials
don't find comedies like relevant anymore. Just be specific though
the types of comedies were available. Go back to the eighties,
look right, a meat balls, Uh right exactly. I mean,
there's are the ones, right Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, right,

(10:51):
and these are the comedies of them right now, he
was big adventure. Then here go back to the nineties.
We'll go forward. But but you're also being that guy
where you're saying it's not like how it used to be.
Times have changed. No, no, no no, I'm going forward. You
cannot find them, But that's what I'm saying. You're comparing
the eighties to the two thousands is a different type
of comedy. The nineties you're clueless, dumb and dumber. Right,

(11:13):
you got those kind of movies. You can't sit with us, right,
okay here and dumb and dumber, mean girls, mean girls.
In the two thousands you got scary movie, not a comedy.
You got road trip there. It's actually by the same
people who did air playing Barbershop. You want to just
name movies all day, but what I'm trying to say
is that, for real, think about it, they don't make

(11:35):
comedies anymore. Times are changing. They do not make stop it,
stop it. They make comedies. It's a different kind of comedy.
You've got to you can't be vague outcome right, all right,
people are still laughing in the theaters, but the but
the way that the result of the laugh the punch
line is different. That's what you're trying to say. Well,

(11:57):
I mean, I just think you know, I'm just saying
I I get because I think if you say there's
no comedies anymore than everyone's gonna shut you down. There's
comedy trying to come around. There's comedic there's comedic pieces
in movies. Indie Wire so Indie War has an article
the twenty five funniest movies of this century. Go ahead, Okay,
I'm gonna go Slaughter, Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle. Juno,

(12:18):
see Juno. I would say that is a heady commis
dead old school. Yes, train Wreck, that was train Wreck. Yeah, Oh,
brother were out out and like best in show, hilarious
about a boy like okay, but what that was, that's

(12:42):
a thousand six The heat obvious child. I don't know
what neighbors like neighbors, So what are the years on
these brodies in? I don't know that movie in the
last five years hasn't gotten there, said Sisters in America
Midnight Comparis Silver Explain, Will, It's funny, but a heady funny.

(13:03):
Before it wasn't your typical gross out. He's right, it
was a smart, funny movie. Four year Old Virgin? What
year was at four? A lot of these movies are
the two thousand's let's he lost in translation named five
already that's come out in the left four. Train Wreck
came out three years to train Wreck and Bridesmaids. Okay,
those are your comedies. There you go the heat, Melissa McCarthy,

(13:27):
Sandra Bullock. You don't think he mentioned one comedy and
then that's that's it. I mentioned three, But you just
mentioned ten years worth of comedies five years in the
eighties and nineties and early trying to say that they
were plenty. They were plentiful, right, there was a buck
of them. There's also no uh, three camera sitcoms anymore,

(13:48):
like we had to bring Will and Grace back in
Modern Family. But other than that, most comedies don't survive
anymore like they used to, right because because people, I mean, really,
what does what does? People want to think more? But
I don't think that's the case. People people are into
thinking more. They're into like sci fi's futuristic style. I
think a lot of times people want to watch ship

(14:10):
that you don't have to think like the car dashing
the second to think that means you can't use this
for radio broadcast podcast. Did you go back and edit
it twice? Just edit that out? Now? We gotta edit
it now. We gotta edit this got out. Now, we
gotta edit this out so we show that we didn't
edit anything out. And everything you're saying right now has
to be edited and everything you just said. And this

(14:30):
has turning up a very good conversation here. It's gonna
make you guys think for the rest of the day.
But my problem is he just named a whole decade
worth of comedies as opposed to saying what came out
in the last five years. It doesn't make any sense.
Just makes me want to go watch more. Jam. I agree.
What's your name in this article? Just google it? Old
old man stuff tonight, who's it? I'm over fifteen minute
