Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm going to make it easy on y'all and put
(00:03):
big Lebowski that's number ten, so we can get to
the good stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And that is take one off and put one on.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
This is what Congress never learns to do, and most
people don't have the skill set to do. You've got
to be able to tell me which of these ten
has to come off the list to put yours on there.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And that doesn't just mean you pick one at random.
Here's the list. This is ten now, Roadhouse, Tropic, Thunder,
Red Dawn, Reservoir, Dogs, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlaw,
Josie Wells, big Lebowski.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Remember, these are dude movies, not greatest movies of all time,
not most classic movies, not greatest movies before seventies, not
greatest classics, not greatest westerns, not greatest Clint Eastwood movies,
not what ever else. Ten greatest dude movies you gotta
watch before you die. And by the way, there's gonna
(01:05):
be some good movies that would be eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen that just don't make the top ten.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm not taking it personally. You got it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Listen, I wish it didn't befall me to be the
arbiter of right and wrong I did, I do. I'd
much rather be a guy out there in the crowd
shouting right. It's like you're the cop trying to keep
Black Lives Matter from breaking into You got a job
to do. I got a job to do, and it's
not easy. I didn't ask for it, but here we are,
and I'm not going to shirk the responsibility. It's a
(01:36):
lightning round.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Let's play a lightning round game.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
But night.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
By the way, you were right.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The tenth choice lesbian woman Nydia, the dog handler, very frequent.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
She nailed it. I said, okay, well, maybe Ramon's onto something.
All right, David, take one off and put one on.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
All right, take off reservoir Dogs. Put on a long
planes drifter.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Man. Great movie, but not under this category, not not
even close. But great movie. Paul, you're up.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I take off Reservoir Dogs. Also in the Great Escape.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'll assume you haven't seen Reservoir Dogs and we'll leave
it there. Chad, you're up.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Traffic thunder off and add No Country for Old Men.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You know, so fun it's funny you say that.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I've been trying to figure out where to put No
Country for Old Men, and I do feel like I
got to take one off. I just by the way.
My dad was never a big reader. He read the
newspaper we were growing up. But I now buy him
books and mail him to him, and it is a
great connection for us. Even if you're not a big reader,
(03:01):
find the book of a movie you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Like and send it. I just sent him Cormack McCarthy's.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I sent him five Cormack McCarthy books, and one of
them was No Country for Men, and I prioritize him
and he's really enjoying it. Glad you brought that up.
I got to figure out a way to get that
on the list. I just I can't. I'm struggling as
to who I take off Hans.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You're up? Is this crawlfish Hans?
Speaker 6 (03:27):
This is the only Hans?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Is that the Hans? Is that the crawfish Hans?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No, this is Hans from like I'm a County, You're old?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh, hands on Rosia? All right, go ahead, that's right.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So I would take off Josie Wales the movie in
the same genre, which is prerequisite for any other movie.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
It's the lonesome dove. What you know what?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I'm in here trying to think and you're over there
trying to Honestly, I don't want to say you're it
doesn't matter, but I don't know why you.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You can't take off bout all. Josie Wells.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, if you want to take one off, you can,
but we're not taking that one off, not for lonesome.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Don't tropic Thunder then topic thunder.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Man traffic thunder is such a perfect dude movie, though.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I retarget, shut up. I'm processing here. See this is
a problem with prioritize. This is why Congress can't do it.
You got to cut something and everything has its lobbyist. Clint,
you're up, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yes, I'll say Shawshank redemption and don't know what to
pull off, but I think that's a good one to
add to it.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, we can't. That's just a problem we can't add.
We're out of money. You know what. I'll put shaw
Shank top twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, my favorite line being he was gone like a
fart in the wind.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Shane.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
You're up, oh man, I had both of mine taken
away your job all Josie Wells and Shawshank Redemption. Uh,
I guess take Off? Uh, propic Thunder and foot Up
Dan's with Wolves.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I'm going to it that's a chick movie. I'm going
to assume you haven't seen Tropic Thunder.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
I think I've seen a couple of highlights of it,
but that was the only thing I could think of,
the Takeoff.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Let me tell you something, when you watch that movie,
you either get it or you don't. Like my mom
wouldn't get it, my wife wouldn't get it. That is
a dude movie, Four dudes by dudes. It is the
humor and the way every character. I don't want to
ruin for people that haven't there's some the Nick Nolty character,
(05:42):
the Jack Black character, the Robert Downey Junior. I mean,
that movie is such good writings. That's why I don't
care for Arnold Schwasnagger movies. Hey, Arnold, hook up and
run through and say something stupid in your thick Austrian accent,
and every dude will think they're part of them. No,
that's that's not good writing. Tropic Thunder is phenomenal writing.
(06:04):
That movie is funny before you ever watch it on
the screen. If you just read the manuscript. This is
a big response. But I'm out of gas. My warslap out.
But on we trudge Fargo.
Speaker 9 (06:17):
Go ahead, Uh Borat, tick off Red Dawn and put what.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Borat?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Why Borap?
Speaker 9 (06:28):
He didn't you didn't watch it? Funny scene was whenever
do you remember whenever? He was being an interviewing the
women from the women's right still and he starts drifting
off and he calls her and he starts saying, these
these old men were you know whatever?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
He didn't he didn't like Borhead.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
How about no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I thought Bora it was funny. I think Sasha Baron
Cohen is hilarious. And I learned from the movie The
Spy that he's a phenomenally talented actor. He's an Israeli
spy who embeds in Syria and serves his country ably.
I just I can't put it top ten. I mean
(07:08):
that's the problem here. No, it can't be top ten.
Barrett would maybe make top five hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Jeff, you're up, Jeff.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
What you got?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I think? I think a dude flick would be something
where your wife rolls her eyes when it comes on.
So I would say dumb and dumber maybe take off
pulp fiction, because pulp fiction is a great movie. But no,
believe that's it.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That's out of the dude flick. You're in the slapstick.
That's a whole different category. Category. That's you did what's
called category creep. You're moving from one category the other week.
We're going to strike that answer as a non responsible
as the parliamentarian Michael's rules of order. No, Cliff, you're up,
take one off, put one.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
On, take off, red down and replace him with a
Southern comfort.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Why that's a great movie.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well, sure it's a great movie, but it's not better.
Have you seen red don.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Man?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
When Red Dawn came out? That was real?
Speaker 10 (08:17):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now like this tonight and you need to escape from
the every day escaped to the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Jeff Eely, My goodness, how good was he in this movie?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
How good was he?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
This was when we all discovered Canadian Jeff Eely. This
was such a breakout moment. I went and studied him.
I don't know about a year ago. He died too young, whatever,
whatever it was it Oh Man, this song, I don't
know if I had heard this song before the movie
(08:55):
or not, but the movie in this song kind of
kind of took him to a whole different level.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And wow, he was so good. I thought.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
May never really achieved after that what he had at
this point, which is fine. It's like when people beat
up on Johnny Manziel that he was never as great
as he was when he was in college.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah, he's one of the best college football players of
all time.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You Jack asked, that's okay, he still did something great.
You know, you need to stop and breathe for a
moment when you're getting angry at your own hypothetical.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right, Jeff Healey, here.
Speaker 11 (09:39):
We go, girl, ookim so fine?
Speaker 12 (10:03):
Of every guy has got.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You this side.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
What you do?
Speaker 12 (10:12):
Man with the flow? This got to beev who miss
that read?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So it's a.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Side.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
One of the greatest former NFL players that you ever
want to hang out with.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Is Indie Kalute, who played for the Eagles and then
finished his career with UT.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Played college ball at Rice. The head coach at University
of Texas told him when he had committed to UT
and then he decommitted to go to Rice because his parents.
He said, no, you're going to get a good degree
in study. It's just too much party in UT. The
coach said, are you kidding me? I've never lost a
(11:03):
commit to Rice. Anyway, Indy was texting me during the
break and he said new Jack City and I said,
good grief, this list is for white people.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Indeed, he comes back.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, then Miller's Crossing. I guess what's what he thought
of as a white people movie. How good was John
Traturo in Miller's Crossing as Bernie burnbaumb as creepy Bernie
Burnbomb the second time when they bring him out to
shoot him and his lip, the way his lip goes
(11:39):
up and he mean, oh man, John Traturo is so talented,
the breadth of roles he plays. All right, it's your
top ten dude movies. You know, we were trying to
come up with an answer as to what a dude
movie is. You know it or you don't. It's a
movie that if it comes up when you're hanging out
with the guys, lighthearted, y'all are watching a ball game,
(12:02):
drinking beer, not too serious, and a line comes up,
everybody knows the line and everybody loves.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It, and you start ah Roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So your ten movies A Roadhouse, Tropic Thunder, Red Dawn,
Reservoir Dogs, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlaw,
Josie Wells and the Big Lebowski. It's a lightning round.
You must take one off and put one on. And
if you choose to take one off, you better be
able to explain it. Otherwise we will send an electric Can.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We still do that with all the power down? We're
still able to lower power? What is it? How many vote?
You don't know?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Two thousand million? Okay, all right, let's start with Jeremy
and go down. Jeremy, take one off and put one on.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
This is why we can't have nice things.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
Michael.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Let's take off Tropic Thunder and Big Lebowski put them
in the box with Dumb and Dumber.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Put in Tombstone and Brave Heart.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
What does that mean? Well, if he's not wrong, then
you have to agree. What did you take off?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I took off Tropic Thunder and Big Lebowki put in
Tombstone and Brave Parts.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
I can't argue with that.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Oh yeah, no I can, and I do.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right, I'm gonna put you in top twenty because
that's all you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Greg, You're up.
Speaker 13 (13:27):
Yeah, take off the big basket and put on one
or two of the cookies.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Nash, that's a classic movie.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But that's not a dude movie. It's a classic.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's not even Jack Nicholson's best movie. It's not even
Jack Nicholson's most doodlee movie.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Matt, you're up by the way. There is a clintic
hold on.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
There's a Clint Eastwood documentary on Amazon. It's one of
this pair of honor. They got a bunch of stupid
things underneath that. But there is a Clint Eastwood documentary
about his career. I think it's just called Eastwood, about
two hours long, and it focuses a lot on the
Western genre. And then toward the end you realize that
(14:18):
they take these different movies, different genres at different times,
and then you realize this guy has been pretty much
making a movie consistently for seventy straight years. I mean,
there are years that there are different styles, genres, types
of characters in movies in the same year, and you
(14:40):
wonder how on earth he kept it straight. I mean,
I'm blown away by Gene Wilder being able to write
Young Frankenstein by Night while he's acting in Blazing Saddles
By day. What Eastwood has done, nobody has ever done
before or since and ever will Matt Europe.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I'm sorry, go ahead, sir, Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Uh, pick off scar Face and add Anchorman. And my
buddy wants to take off reservoar dogs in that Caddy Shack.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Who is your buddy? What are you doing? We're doing
proxy votes.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Now, Well he's Monroe. He's listening. He just can't get through.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Who is he?
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (15:19):
He works as Stuartile.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
He's in Sugarlane right now.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
What's his name?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Monroe?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Monroe?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
What Ashworth?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Monroe Ashworth.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
The fourth?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
That sounded like English nobility before you said the fourth?
Is he really Monroe Ashworth the Fourth?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yes he is.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
And his son is the fifth.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We call him Quinn. And what did he want to do?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Put?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Anchorman's a top twenty but not top ten. But where
what did he want to do with? Who do you
want to take off?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
He wanted he wanted to take off reservoir Dogs.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And add Caddyshack. Caddy Shack's the Tommy.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
That's pretty solid.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You know, we may be able to we may be
able to build out our top twenty. Now because I've
got my bubble cases over here to the side, but
none of them make the top ten.
Speaker 14 (16:08):
All right, fair enough? Uh?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And what was your choice?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
My choice was Anchorman taking off scarface?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Are you serious? How old are you?
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Fifty years old? But the whole sex panther scene makes
me cry laughing every time I watch it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I can't help myself.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
You can't be fifty and chew scarface over Anchormani Were
you raised in the US or were you like a military.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Bride or something?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Well, it's overseas every now, man.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yeah, that's been about first ten years now.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I's overseas.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Okay, that's that yet. Okay, it's like a Romulus and
Remus thing. And if you were raised by wolves? And
I can't hold it against you, James, what you got?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yeah, I'm thinking of apocalypse now and not the famous
I'm sorry, remove pulp fiction, but add apocalypse now. Because
after he says I love this Napalm in the morning,
he says a few seconds later, someday this war is
going to end, and he sounds so let down about that.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, no, it's in It's true. Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
One of the great scenes and one of the great
movies of all time. It's in the pantheon of great
war movies. It's in the pantheon of great movies of
all time. I just can't put it on the dude list. Look,
somebody's got to make these decisions. I'm not happy about it,
But Dennis, real quick, what's yours?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
I say, removed the Big Lebowski.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
And put in a forty eight hours with ny and idiots.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You just wanted a black down the list. Hold on,
you knew that was going to happen. You knew somebody
was going to vote, but you knew this was coming.
And the Republican part we've I'll say we I have
made an amendment after considerable amount of thought, and the
top ten dude movies list at present is as follows, Roadhouse,
(18:02):
Tropic Thunder, Reservoir, Dogs, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlawed,
Josie Wells, Big Lebowski. I have removed Red Dawn and
replaced with Young Guns.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh yeah, whoa.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now I've made a list of alternates, so those of
you crying can feel good that at least your choice
was an alternate, and that is Animal House, Anchorman, Red Dawn,
Shawshank Redemption, No Country for Old Men, Fargo, Tombstone Fight Club, which,
by the way, by mentioning it Lonesome Dove. Some of
(18:48):
those didn't make it on the air. Some of those
are emails, but you get the point. All right, let's
start with Melanie.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
We'll go down.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh wait, we got to get Dennis on there because
that's the only black guy we've had, and he had
to put a black character. You saw that, m I
just wonder he didn't try Sidney Poitier or something. Guess
who's coming to dinner, Dennis. Yes, sir, we let one
black dude.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
On there, and you had to put a movie with
a black dude in there.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
It's great. It's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It doesn't make even the top twenty five, but it's
in the top fifty.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And the line of.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
What happens when when the wind blows, that's Eddie Murphy
had a run there Beverly Hills, cop Trading Places, forty
eight hours. That that was. He just hit after hit
after hit after hit.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yep, he was going, he was going.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And the only sad part about that is he left
comedy as a result of it and never really came back.
And then once that kind of character that he played,
which is a similar character in those three movies once Out,
was sort of played out and passed on. Then I
think he went to silly stuff like Martin Lawrence level stuff,
(20:07):
and I think that's beneath him. I thought Harlem Knights
was clever, but I think from then he just went
into the silly, like the Netty, the Nutty Professor. That
kind of stuff really for me.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
No, No, I really missed him as a stand up Comics.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Delicious and Raw when I was a kid were so
at hunt, wasn't it. Sorry, Delirious, You are right delirious, I said, Delicious, Delirious, Raw.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Were as good as it gets? Did is?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Do you have any movies with all white people you'd
like just to just to build your credentials.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Uh well, I'll tell you what I do.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Like the movie Casino with Robert de Nario, Robert de
Niro and uh you know, Joe Pesci.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, yeah, okay, all right. I just want to make
sure Robert you're up what you got.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Hey talk about I take off reservoir dolls and put
on the Revenant.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
That whole movie could be reduced down to Leonardo DiCaprio
getting booty humped by a bear.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
That's the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
It's one that's like Deliverance.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Deliverance, great film, but it's really just the one scene
and squeal like a pig. Other than that and and
dueling Banjo's I mean, it's it's it's Revenant.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Is slow moving. I give you a movie to watch.
It's called.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The Banshees of Inner Shrion. It's an Irish film, and
have you seen it?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And it's it's really really good. But it's like a
Beckett play.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's very slow moving, very brooding and melancholy. I mean,
you get a sense of how still this village is
by the even the filters they use on the camera.
Everything is perfect for what it is. But it is
(22:08):
not a first eight movie, that is for sure. And
it takes some turns you don't expect. My trainer, Michael Petrew,
recommended this and I said, Petrew, you handle the training.
I will be in charge of almost everything else, and
movies are kind of my thing. And he said, well,
just watch the band she's of in a Sharon never
even heard of it. And he kept after me, kept
after me, and when he finally stopped asking me about it.
(22:31):
Then I decided quietly.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I'd slip off and watch it.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's fantastic, but you'll either like it or you don't,
and if you don't, I won't be mad at you.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Did we do, Melanie, Melanie, you're up.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
No, I would remove the Big Lebowski and replacement of
Smoking the bandit because the Big Lebowski is great, but
Jackie Gleason is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Man, I hate it. I didn't think about smoking the
band or a dude movie.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Bitch.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
When when Jackie Gleason orders his Diablo sandwich, I'm.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Gonna tell you, man, a dollar and a half.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Yeah, keep check, jocky yo, let me have a damn sangwich.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I do go back by making it fast.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
I'm gonna go damn hurry.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know, I don't know how to say this. This
is a weighty moment because but you have to understand,
we didn't prepare our list and come to you.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I'm not making excuses.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
We didn't prepare our list and roll it out as
we often do. We took your suggestions and built the
list off of that. I mean, smoking a Bandit probably
my top choice, probably my most.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Duly dude movie. It's a movie chicks can watch.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And they got a little you know, they got a
little love interest in there and all that. But the
writing for Smoking a bandit is the ultimate dude movie writing.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
It's ultimate ten thousand sweet little ladies of seventy or
more that would make a pound cake that you could
eat cold and enjoy.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Michael Verry Show, I'm with you, Wallace. Have I seen,
oh army of my countryman here and devidence of chility?
(24:59):
You have come to fight a stree man?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Three man you are? What will you do without freedom?
Speaker 10 (25:08):
Will you fight? I guess that now we will right
and we will live, all right? Fight and you may.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Die, run and you'll love at least a while.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
I'm dying in your pants many years from now.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Would you be willing to trade all the days from
this day to.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
That for one chance, just one chance, and jump back
here until all right?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
That they may take our life, but they'll never take
a grad. You know how NFL players now come into
the stadium with their headsets on, or you know, play
in black Sabbath or whatever fires them up. I would
(26:09):
imagine you could just put Brave Heart on before the
game and you did that, would that be it?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah? Just just put.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Brave Heart on and be done with it. All right,
it's the last segment. It's a lightning round. The list
as edited is as follows, sorry as amended. By the way,
Brave Heart is one of my top five movies of
all time.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But a dude movie.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
To get back to what we were talking about, because
there's always an attempt to kind of pull the category
to accommodate, that's called category creep. A dude movie has
to have a degree of whimsy to it. Now you
might be saying, well, how do you have the Outlaw
Josie Wales?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You make exceptions, make exceptions.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
So our top ten is Big Lebowski, Outlaw, Josie Wells,
Lazy Saddle, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, Blues Brothers, Reservoir Dogs, Tropic.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Thunder, Young Guns, Smoking the Bandit. That's where we are.
That's our list.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You don't need to tell me about another movie that's great,
that might be number eleven.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You can only have ten in the top ten. That's
all there is to it. We'll start with Scott and
go down the list.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Okay, go be controversial, Michael. I'm gonna give you a
tough one. Remove pulp fiction on the grounds and it's
not just a dude movie. Chicks like it too, and
replace it with another Tarantino masterpiece, Natural Born Killers.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
No, if I was going to replace it, I'd replace
it with true romance, but not Natural Born Killers.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You know that woman Julie.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
What's her name? She's also in Cape Fear. She's so
good in that movie because I think she is crazy.
I think she really genuinely huh, Juliette Lewis. And you
know Woody Harrelson is crazy and his dad was crazy.
Dad assassinated a judge. The casting for that movie that
(28:30):
is that is one of the most underrated movies of
all time. And the soundtrack that's where I discovered Old
Cohen what's his name? What's the singer? The Canadian?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Gosh dog, I can't stand when I can't Yeah he did. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I know you don't have to tell me. I just
can't think of it right now. Shane, go ahead, I'm
gonna play place.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I know the movie that I want to say, but
I need to have cool hand Luke in there.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Not as a dude movie.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
No, it could be one of the greatest movies of
all time, but it can't be one of the dude movies.
Leonard Cohen, Andy, go ahead, Mike, he.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Stole my Thunder.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
I was gonna say, take off Reservoir Dogs and put
in True Romance.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
But I'm gonna go off the board here.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
I'm gonna say take off Reservoir Dogs and let's go
and add Rattling Home.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
No, Mitchell, go.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Take off topic Thunder and put in Doctor Strangelove.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
No great movie, though, one of Kubrick's finest love Doctor
Strange Love.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
I love Peter Sellers. Peter Sellers.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Is one of the most underrated actors of all time.
So influential, so many things, derivative of characters he created
and Slim Pickens. Oh, don't get me going on that movie.
But no, Chris go ahead.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Influential, yeah, influential to dude movies, Yes, very much, so,
Chris go ahead.
Speaker 14 (30:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna take off the dude. I'm gonna get
buzzared for it. But uh, I'm going to add Welcome
to the party pile. John McClain, the original, Kay is.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This die Hard?
Speaker 14 (30:36):
Absolutely the first.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
One that's a dumb movie.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
But it's a great dude Booby.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Bo Brown tried to get die Hard on there. You know,
I wish there was a way. You know, one of
the things that we always talk about talking about because
we talk about it off air, is what would you
do if you thought you'd get away with it? For us,
it's people we would murder. For some people to just maybe,
you know, cuss somebody out, But it's people we would
murder because we really hate.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Them that much. But we can't get away with it,
so we don't. But I wish there was a way
to cattle proud people that every.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Year ago it die Hard a Greek but movie, and
then they go back it is it?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I ain't it?
Speaker 8 (31:18):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I wish there was a way to cattle proud people.
And then when they screamed, just screeched and screamed, you go.
See that's been bothering me for years. Stop bringing up
that subject is stupid. By the way, I've never watched Diehart.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I'm not going to.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
John, you're up, Yes, take off young Guns and we
replaced Wet, Robert Williams and Kurt Rossel's the best of times.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
No, no, not even close. Shane, Sorry, go to Chuck,
because I think we went to Shane Harash, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You're up.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Patton the movie, Patty.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Great movie. I wouldn't call it a dude movie. There's
got to be some whimsy to.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
A dude movie. George C. Scott is so damn good
in that movie. He is so good.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I went back recently, about six months ago, and I
studied the footage we have of Patten, and uh, there's
not as much as you'd think, and very little of
it is him speaking.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But boy, was George C. Scott good. Gosh, he's good.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And that scene in front of the massive flag, it's
just so incredibly good.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
And you know what it ended up making me mad?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I wish I hadn't done it, because Patton is removed
of command for slapping an officer and telling him from
an officer.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Who was what they called shell shock today spts.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
But what they don't tell is Patton visited his men
more than any other general, more than all other generals combined.
He would go and visit his men and hold their hand,
he would cry with them, talk to them about their families.
Patten loved his men. He wanted to win the war,
but he loved his men more than any of those
other generals, and there are a lot of men who
(33:06):
served who said that, well, this has been a very,
very painful and difficult exercise, but I feel like we
made some ground.
I'm going to make it easy on y'all and put
(00:03):
big Lebowski that's number ten, so we can get to
the good stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And that is take one off and put one on.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
This is what Congress never learns to do, and most
people don't have the skill set to do. You've got
to be able to tell me which of these ten
has to come off the list to put yours on there.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And that doesn't just mean you pick one at random.
Here's the list. This is ten now, Roadhouse, Tropic, Thunder,
Red Dawn, Reservoir, Dogs, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlaw,
Josie Wells, big Lebowski.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Remember, these are dude movies, not greatest movies of all time,
not most classic movies, not greatest movies before seventies, not
greatest classics, not greatest westerns, not greatest Clint Eastwood movies,
not what ever else. Ten greatest dude movies you gotta
watch before you die. And by the way, there's gonna
(01:05):
be some good movies that would be eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen that just don't make the top ten.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm not taking it personally. You got it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Listen, I wish it didn't befall me to be the
arbiter of right and wrong I did, I do. I'd
much rather be a guy out there in the crowd
shouting right. It's like you're the cop trying to keep
Black Lives Matter from breaking into You got a job
to do. I got a job to do, and it's
not easy. I didn't ask for it, but here we are,
and I'm not going to shirk the responsibility. It's a
(01:36):
lightning round.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Let's play a lightning round game.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
But night.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
By the way, you were right.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The tenth choice lesbian woman Nydia, the dog handler, very frequent.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
She nailed it. I said, okay, well, maybe Ramon's onto something.
All right, David, take one off and put one on.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
All right, take off reservoir Dogs. Put on a long
planes drifter.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Man. Great movie, but not under this category, not not
even close. But great movie. Paul, you're up.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I take off Reservoir Dogs. Also in the Great Escape.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'll assume you haven't seen Reservoir Dogs and we'll leave
it there. Chad, you're up.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Traffic thunder off and add No Country for Old Men.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You know, so fun it's funny you say that.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I've been trying to figure out where to put No
Country for Old Men, and I do feel like I
got to take one off. I just by the way.
My dad was never a big reader. He read the
newspaper we were growing up. But I now buy him
books and mail him to him, and it is a
great connection for us. Even if you're not a big reader,
(03:01):
find the book of a movie you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Like and send it. I just sent him Cormack McCarthy's.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I sent him five Cormack McCarthy books, and one of
them was No Country for Men, and I prioritize him
and he's really enjoying it. Glad you brought that up.
I got to figure out a way to get that
on the list. I just I can't. I'm struggling as
to who I take off Hans.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You're up? Is this crawlfish Hans?
Speaker 6 (03:27):
This is the only Hans?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Is that the Hans? Is that the crawfish Hans?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No, this is Hans from like I'm a County, You're old?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh, hands on Rosia? All right, go ahead, that's right.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So I would take off Josie Wales the movie in
the same genre, which is prerequisite for any other movie.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
It's the lonesome dove. What you know what?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I'm in here trying to think and you're over there
trying to Honestly, I don't want to say you're it
doesn't matter, but I don't know why you.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You can't take off bout all. Josie Wells.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, if you want to take one off, you can,
but we're not taking that one off, not for lonesome.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Don't tropic Thunder then topic thunder.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Man traffic thunder is such a perfect dude movie, though.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I retarget, shut up. I'm processing here. See this is
a problem with prioritize. This is why Congress can't do it.
You got to cut something and everything has its lobbyist. Clint,
you're up, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yes, I'll say Shawshank redemption and don't know what to
pull off, but I think that's a good one to
add to it.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, we can't. That's just a problem we can't add.
We're out of money. You know what. I'll put shaw
Shank top twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, my favorite line being he was gone like a
fart in the wind.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Shane.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
You're up, oh man, I had both of mine taken
away your job all Josie Wells and Shawshank Redemption. Uh,
I guess take Off? Uh, propic Thunder and foot Up
Dan's with Wolves.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I'm going to it that's a chick movie. I'm going
to assume you haven't seen Tropic Thunder.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
I think I've seen a couple of highlights of it,
but that was the only thing I could think of,
the Takeoff.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Let me tell you something, when you watch that movie,
you either get it or you don't. Like my mom
wouldn't get it, my wife wouldn't get it. That is
a dude movie, Four dudes by dudes. It is the
humor and the way every character. I don't want to
ruin for people that haven't there's some the Nick Nolty character,
(05:42):
the Jack Black character, the Robert Downey Junior. I mean,
that movie is such good writings. That's why I don't
care for Arnold Schwasnagger movies. Hey, Arnold, hook up and
run through and say something stupid in your thick Austrian accent,
and every dude will think they're part of them. No,
that's that's not good writing. Tropic Thunder is phenomenal writing.
(06:04):
That movie is funny before you ever watch it on
the screen. If you just read the manuscript. This is
a big response. But I'm out of gas. My warslap out.
But on we trudge Fargo.
Speaker 9 (06:17):
Go ahead, Uh Borat, tick off Red Dawn and put what.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Borat?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Why Borap?
Speaker 9 (06:28):
He didn't you didn't watch it? Funny scene was whenever
do you remember whenever? He was being an interviewing the
women from the women's right still and he starts drifting
off and he calls her and he starts saying, these
these old men were you know whatever?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
He didn't he didn't like Borhead.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
How about no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I thought Bora it was funny. I think Sasha Baron
Cohen is hilarious. And I learned from the movie The
Spy that he's a phenomenally talented actor. He's an Israeli
spy who embeds in Syria and serves his country ably.
I just I can't put it top ten. I mean
(07:08):
that's the problem here. No, it can't be top ten.
Barrett would maybe make top five hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Jeff, you're up, Jeff.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
What you got?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I think? I think a dude flick would be something
where your wife rolls her eyes when it comes on.
So I would say dumb and dumber maybe take off
pulp fiction, because pulp fiction is a great movie. But no,
believe that's it.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That's out of the dude flick. You're in the slapstick.
That's a whole different category. Category. That's you did what's
called category creep. You're moving from one category the other week.
We're going to strike that answer as a non responsible
as the parliamentarian Michael's rules of order. No, Cliff, you're up,
take one off, put one.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
On, take off, red down and replace him with a
Southern comfort.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Why that's a great movie.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well, sure it's a great movie, but it's not better.
Have you seen red don.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Man?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
When Red Dawn came out? That was real?
Speaker 10 (08:17):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now like this tonight and you need to escape from
the every day escaped to the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Jeff Eely, My goodness, how good was he in this movie?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
How good was he?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
This was when we all discovered Canadian Jeff Eely. This
was such a breakout moment. I went and studied him.
I don't know about a year ago. He died too young, whatever,
whatever it was it Oh Man, this song, I don't
know if I had heard this song before the movie
(08:55):
or not, but the movie in this song kind of
kind of took him to a whole different level.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And wow, he was so good. I thought.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
May never really achieved after that what he had at
this point, which is fine. It's like when people beat
up on Johnny Manziel that he was never as great
as he was when he was in college.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah, he's one of the best college football players of
all time.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You Jack asked, that's okay, he still did something great.
You know, you need to stop and breathe for a
moment when you're getting angry at your own hypothetical.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right, Jeff Healey, here.
Speaker 11 (09:39):
We go, girl, ookim so fine?
Speaker 12 (10:03):
Of every guy has got.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You this side.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
What you do?
Speaker 12 (10:12):
Man with the flow? This got to beev who miss
that read?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So it's a.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Side.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
One of the greatest former NFL players that you ever
want to hang out with.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Is Indie Kalute, who played for the Eagles and then
finished his career with UT.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Played college ball at Rice. The head coach at University
of Texas told him when he had committed to UT
and then he decommitted to go to Rice because his parents.
He said, no, you're going to get a good degree
in study. It's just too much party in UT. The
coach said, are you kidding me? I've never lost a
(11:03):
commit to Rice. Anyway, Indy was texting me during the
break and he said new Jack City and I said,
good grief, this list is for white people.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Indeed, he comes back.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, then Miller's Crossing. I guess what's what he thought
of as a white people movie. How good was John
Traturo in Miller's Crossing as Bernie burnbaumb as creepy Bernie
Burnbomb the second time when they bring him out to
shoot him and his lip, the way his lip goes
(11:39):
up and he mean, oh man, John Traturo is so talented,
the breadth of roles he plays. All right, it's your
top ten dude movies. You know, we were trying to
come up with an answer as to what a dude
movie is. You know it or you don't. It's a
movie that if it comes up when you're hanging out
with the guys, lighthearted, y'all are watching a ball game,
(12:02):
drinking beer, not too serious, and a line comes up,
everybody knows the line and everybody loves.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It, and you start ah Roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So your ten movies A Roadhouse, Tropic Thunder, Red Dawn,
Reservoir Dogs, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlaw,
Josie Wells and the Big Lebowski. It's a lightning round.
You must take one off and put one on. And
if you choose to take one off, you better be
able to explain it. Otherwise we will send an electric Can.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We still do that with all the power down? We're
still able to lower power? What is it? How many vote?
You don't know?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Two thousand million? Okay, all right, let's start with Jeremy
and go down. Jeremy, take one off and put one on.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
This is why we can't have nice things.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
Michael.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Let's take off Tropic Thunder and Big Lebowski put them
in the box with Dumb and Dumber.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Put in Tombstone and Brave Heart.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
What does that mean? Well, if he's not wrong, then
you have to agree. What did you take off?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I took off Tropic Thunder and Big Lebowki put in
Tombstone and Brave Parts.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
I can't argue with that.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Oh yeah, no I can, and I do.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right, I'm gonna put you in top twenty because
that's all you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Greg, You're up.
Speaker 13 (13:27):
Yeah, take off the big basket and put on one
or two of the cookies.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Nash, that's a classic movie.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But that's not a dude movie. It's a classic.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's not even Jack Nicholson's best movie. It's not even
Jack Nicholson's most doodlee movie.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Matt, you're up by the way. There is a clintic
hold on.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
There's a Clint Eastwood documentary on Amazon. It's one of
this pair of honor. They got a bunch of stupid
things underneath that. But there is a Clint Eastwood documentary
about his career. I think it's just called Eastwood, about
two hours long, and it focuses a lot on the
Western genre. And then toward the end you realize that
(14:18):
they take these different movies, different genres at different times,
and then you realize this guy has been pretty much
making a movie consistently for seventy straight years. I mean,
there are years that there are different styles, genres, types
of characters in movies in the same year, and you
(14:40):
wonder how on earth he kept it straight. I mean,
I'm blown away by Gene Wilder being able to write
Young Frankenstein by Night while he's acting in Blazing Saddles
By day. What Eastwood has done, nobody has ever done
before or since and ever will Matt Europe.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I'm sorry, go ahead, sir, Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Uh, pick off scar Face and add Anchorman. And my
buddy wants to take off reservoar dogs in that Caddy Shack.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Who is your buddy? What are you doing? We're doing
proxy votes.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Now, Well he's Monroe. He's listening. He just can't get through.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Who is he?
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (15:19):
He works as Stuartile.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
He's in Sugarlane right now.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
What's his name?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Monroe?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Monroe?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
What Ashworth?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Monroe Ashworth.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
The fourth?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
That sounded like English nobility before you said the fourth?
Is he really Monroe Ashworth the Fourth?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yes he is.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
And his son is the fifth.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We call him Quinn. And what did he want to do?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Put?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Anchorman's a top twenty but not top ten. But where
what did he want to do with? Who do you
want to take off?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
He wanted he wanted to take off reservoir Dogs.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And add Caddyshack. Caddy Shack's the Tommy.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
That's pretty solid.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You know, we may be able to we may be
able to build out our top twenty. Now because I've
got my bubble cases over here to the side, but
none of them make the top ten.
Speaker 14 (16:08):
All right, fair enough? Uh?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And what was your choice?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
My choice was Anchorman taking off scarface?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Are you serious? How old are you?
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Fifty years old? But the whole sex panther scene makes
me cry laughing every time I watch it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I can't help myself.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
You can't be fifty and chew scarface over Anchormani Were
you raised in the US or were you like a military.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Bride or something?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Well, it's overseas every now, man.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yeah, that's been about first ten years now.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I's overseas.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Okay, that's that yet. Okay, it's like a Romulus and
Remus thing. And if you were raised by wolves? And
I can't hold it against you, James, what you got?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yeah, I'm thinking of apocalypse now and not the famous
I'm sorry, remove pulp fiction, but add apocalypse now. Because
after he says I love this Napalm in the morning,
he says a few seconds later, someday this war is
going to end, and he sounds so let down about that.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, no, it's in It's true. Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
One of the great scenes and one of the great
movies of all time. It's in the pantheon of great
war movies. It's in the pantheon of great movies of
all time. I just can't put it on the dude list. Look,
somebody's got to make these decisions. I'm not happy about it,
But Dennis, real quick, what's yours?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
I say, removed the Big Lebowski.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
And put in a forty eight hours with ny and idiots.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You just wanted a black down the list. Hold on,
you knew that was going to happen. You knew somebody
was going to vote, but you knew this was coming.
And the Republican part we've I'll say we I have
made an amendment after considerable amount of thought, and the
top ten dude movies list at present is as follows, Roadhouse,
(18:02):
Tropic Thunder, Reservoir, Dogs, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlawed,
Josie Wells, Big Lebowski. I have removed Red Dawn and
replaced with Young Guns.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh yeah, whoa.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now I've made a list of alternates, so those of
you crying can feel good that at least your choice
was an alternate, and that is Animal House, Anchorman, Red Dawn,
Shawshank Redemption, No Country for Old Men, Fargo, Tombstone Fight Club, which,
by the way, by mentioning it Lonesome Dove. Some of
(18:48):
those didn't make it on the air. Some of those
are emails, but you get the point. All right, let's
start with Melanie.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
We'll go down.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh wait, we got to get Dennis on there because
that's the only black guy we've had, and he had
to put a black character. You saw that, m I
just wonder he didn't try Sidney Poitier or something. Guess
who's coming to dinner, Dennis. Yes, sir, we let one
black dude.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
On there, and you had to put a movie with
a black dude in there.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
It's great. It's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It doesn't make even the top twenty five, but it's
in the top fifty.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And the line of.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
What happens when when the wind blows, that's Eddie Murphy
had a run there Beverly Hills, cop Trading Places, forty
eight hours. That that was. He just hit after hit
after hit after hit.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yep, he was going, he was going.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And the only sad part about that is he left
comedy as a result of it and never really came back.
And then once that kind of character that he played,
which is a similar character in those three movies once Out,
was sort of played out and passed on. Then I
think he went to silly stuff like Martin Lawrence level stuff,
(20:07):
and I think that's beneath him. I thought Harlem Knights
was clever, but I think from then he just went
into the silly, like the Netty, the Nutty Professor. That
kind of stuff really for me.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
No, No, I really missed him as a stand up Comics.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Delicious and Raw when I was a kid were so
at hunt, wasn't it. Sorry, Delirious, You are right delirious, I said, Delicious, Delirious, Raw.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Were as good as it gets? Did is?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Do you have any movies with all white people you'd
like just to just to build your credentials.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Uh well, I'll tell you what I do.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Like the movie Casino with Robert de Nario, Robert de
Niro and uh you know, Joe Pesci.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, yeah, okay, all right. I just want to make
sure Robert you're up what you got.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Hey talk about I take off reservoir dolls and put
on the Revenant.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
That whole movie could be reduced down to Leonardo DiCaprio
getting booty humped by a bear.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
That's the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
It's one that's like Deliverance.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Deliverance, great film, but it's really just the one scene
and squeal like a pig. Other than that and and
dueling Banjo's I mean, it's it's it's Revenant.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Is slow moving. I give you a movie to watch.
It's called.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The Banshees of Inner Shrion. It's an Irish film, and
have you seen it?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And it's it's really really good. But it's like a
Beckett play.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's very slow moving, very brooding and melancholy. I mean,
you get a sense of how still this village is
by the even the filters they use on the camera.
Everything is perfect for what it is. But it is
(22:08):
not a first eight movie, that is for sure. And
it takes some turns you don't expect. My trainer, Michael Petrew,
recommended this and I said, Petrew, you handle the training.
I will be in charge of almost everything else, and
movies are kind of my thing. And he said, well,
just watch the band she's of in a Sharon never
even heard of it. And he kept after me, kept
after me, and when he finally stopped asking me about it.
(22:31):
Then I decided quietly.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I'd slip off and watch it.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's fantastic, but you'll either like it or you don't,
and if you don't, I won't be mad at you.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Did we do, Melanie, Melanie, you're up.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
No, I would remove the Big Lebowski and replacement of
Smoking the bandit because the Big Lebowski is great, but
Jackie Gleason is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Man, I hate it. I didn't think about smoking the
band or a dude movie.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Bitch.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
When when Jackie Gleason orders his Diablo sandwich, I'm.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Gonna tell you, man, a dollar and a half.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Yeah, keep check, jocky yo, let me have a damn sangwich.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I do go back by making it fast.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
I'm gonna go damn hurry.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know, I don't know how to say this. This
is a weighty moment because but you have to understand,
we didn't prepare our list and come to you.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I'm not making excuses.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
We didn't prepare our list and roll it out as
we often do. We took your suggestions and built the
list off of that. I mean, smoking a Bandit probably
my top choice, probably my most.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Duly dude movie. It's a movie chicks can watch.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And they got a little you know, they got a
little love interest in there and all that. But the
writing for Smoking a bandit is the ultimate dude movie writing.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
It's ultimate ten thousand sweet little ladies of seventy or
more that would make a pound cake that you could
eat cold and enjoy.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Michael Verry Show, I'm with you, Wallace. Have I seen,
oh army of my countryman here and devidence of chility?
(24:59):
You have come to fight a stree man?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Three man you are? What will you do without freedom?
Speaker 10 (25:08):
Will you fight? I guess that now we will right
and we will live, all right? Fight and you may.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Die, run and you'll love at least a while.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
I'm dying in your pants many years from now.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Would you be willing to trade all the days from
this day to.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
That for one chance, just one chance, and jump back
here until all right?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
That they may take our life, but they'll never take
a grad. You know how NFL players now come into
the stadium with their headsets on, or you know, play
in black Sabbath or whatever fires them up. I would
(26:09):
imagine you could just put Brave Heart on before the
game and you did that, would that be it?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah? Just just put.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Brave Heart on and be done with it. All right,
it's the last segment. It's a lightning round. The list
as edited is as follows, sorry as amended. By the way,
Brave Heart is one of my top five movies of
all time.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But a dude movie.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
To get back to what we were talking about, because
there's always an attempt to kind of pull the category
to accommodate, that's called category creep. A dude movie has
to have a degree of whimsy to it. Now you
might be saying, well, how do you have the Outlaw
Josie Wales?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You make exceptions, make exceptions.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
So our top ten is Big Lebowski, Outlaw, Josie Wells,
Lazy Saddle, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, Blues Brothers, Reservoir Dogs, Tropic.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Thunder, Young Guns, Smoking the Bandit. That's where we are.
That's our list.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You don't need to tell me about another movie that's great,
that might be number eleven.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You can only have ten in the top ten. That's
all there is to it. We'll start with Scott and
go down the list.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Okay, go be controversial, Michael. I'm gonna give you a
tough one. Remove pulp fiction on the grounds and it's
not just a dude movie. Chicks like it too, and
replace it with another Tarantino masterpiece, Natural Born Killers.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
No, if I was going to replace it, I'd replace
it with true romance, but not Natural Born Killers.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You know that woman Julie.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
What's her name? She's also in Cape Fear. She's so
good in that movie because I think she is crazy.
I think she really genuinely huh, Juliette Lewis. And you
know Woody Harrelson is crazy and his dad was crazy.
Dad assassinated a judge. The casting for that movie that
(28:30):
is that is one of the most underrated movies of
all time. And the soundtrack that's where I discovered Old
Cohen what's his name? What's the singer? The Canadian?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Gosh dog, I can't stand when I can't Yeah he did. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I know you don't have to tell me. I just
can't think of it right now. Shane, go ahead, I'm
gonna play place.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I know the movie that I want to say, but
I need to have cool hand Luke in there.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Not as a dude movie.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
No, it could be one of the greatest movies of
all time, but it can't be one of the dude movies.
Leonard Cohen, Andy, go ahead, Mike, he.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Stole my Thunder.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
I was gonna say, take off Reservoir Dogs and put
in True Romance.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
But I'm gonna go off the board here.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
I'm gonna say take off Reservoir Dogs and let's go
and add Rattling Home.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
No, Mitchell, go.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Take off topic Thunder and put in Doctor Strangelove.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
No great movie, though, one of Kubrick's finest love Doctor
Strange Love.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
I love Peter Sellers. Peter Sellers.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Is one of the most underrated actors of all time.
So influential, so many things, derivative of characters he created
and Slim Pickens. Oh, don't get me going on that movie.
But no, Chris go ahead.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Influential, yeah, influential to dude movies, Yes, very much, so,
Chris go ahead.
Speaker 14 (30:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna take off the dude. I'm gonna get
buzzared for it. But uh, I'm going to add Welcome
to the party pile. John McClain, the original, Kay is.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This die Hard?
Speaker 14 (30:36):
Absolutely the first.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
One that's a dumb movie.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
But it's a great dude Booby.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Bo Brown tried to get die Hard on there. You know,
I wish there was a way. You know, one of
the things that we always talk about talking about because
we talk about it off air, is what would you
do if you thought you'd get away with it? For us,
it's people we would murder. For some people to just maybe,
you know, cuss somebody out, But it's people we would
murder because we really hate.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Them that much. But we can't get away with it,
so we don't. But I wish there was a way
to cattle proud people that every.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Year ago it die Hard a Greek but movie, and
then they go back it is it?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I ain't it?
Speaker 8 (31:18):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I wish there was a way to cattle proud people.
And then when they screamed, just screeched and screamed, you go.
See that's been bothering me for years. Stop bringing up
that subject is stupid. By the way, I've never watched Diehart.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I'm not going to.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
John, you're up, Yes, take off young Guns and we
replaced Wet, Robert Williams and Kurt Rossel's the best of times.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
No, no, not even close. Shane, Sorry, go to Chuck,
because I think we went to Shane Harash, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You're up.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Patton the movie, Patty.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Great movie. I wouldn't call it a dude movie. There's
got to be some whimsy to.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
A dude movie. George C. Scott is so damn good
in that movie. He is so good.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I went back recently, about six months ago, and I
studied the footage we have of Patten, and uh, there's
not as much as you'd think, and very little of
it is him speaking.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But boy, was George C. Scott good. Gosh, he's good.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And that scene in front of the massive flag, it's
just so incredibly good.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
And you know what it ended up making me mad?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I wish I hadn't done it, because Patton is removed
of command for slapping an officer and telling him from
an officer.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Who was what they called shell shock today spts.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
But what they don't tell is Patton visited his men
more than any other general, more than all other generals combined.
He would go and visit his men and hold their hand,
he would cry with them, talk to them about their families.
Patten loved his men. He wanted to win the war,
but he loved his men more than any of those
other generals, and there are a lot of men who
(33:06):
served who said that, well, this has been a very,
very painful and difficult exercise, but I feel like we
made some ground.
