Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm gonna make it easy on y'all and put big
Lebowski in A's number ten so we can get to
the good stuff. And that is, take one off and
put one on. This is what Congress never learns to do,
and most people don't have the skill set to do.
(00:20):
You've got to be able to tell me which of
these ten has to come off the list to put
yours on there. 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,
(00:42):
Josie Wells, big Lebowski. 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
(01:04):
by the way, there's gonna be some good movies that
would be eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen that just don't make
the top ten. I'm not taking it personally. You got it. 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.
(01:25):
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 lightning round.
Let's play a lightning round game. But it's night. By
(01:46):
the way, you were right. The tenth choice lesbian woman Nydia,
the dog handler, very frequent. She nailed it. I said, okay,
well maybe Ramon was onto something. All right, David, take
one off and put one on.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
All right, take off reservoir Dogs.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Put on a long planes drifter Man.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Great movie, but not under this category, not not even close,
but great movie. Paul, you're up.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I take off Reservoir Dogs. Also in the Great Escape.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'll assume you haven't seen Reservoir Dogs and we'll leave
it there. Chad, you're up.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Traffic thunder off and add No Country for Old Men.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You know, so fun it's funny you say that 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
(02:54):
and mail him to him, and it is a great
connection for us. Even if you're not a big reader,
find the book of a movie you like and send it.
I just sent him Cormack McCarthy's. I sent him five
Cormack McCarthy books, and one of them was No Country
Roll Men, and I prioritize him and he's really enjoying it.
Glad you brought that up. I got to figure out
(03:17):
a way to get that on the list. I just
I can't. I'm struggling as to who I take off Hans.
You're up? Is this crawlfish Hans? This is the only Hans?
Is that the Hans? Is that the crawfish Hans?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No, this is Hans from counting year old?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh hands on Rosa, All right, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So I would take off Josie Wales the same movie
in the same genre, which is prerequisite for any other movie.
It's the Lonesome dove.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What you know what. I'm in here trying to think
and you're over there trying to Honestly, I don't want
to say you're vote doesn't matter, but I don't know
why you You can't take off bout of Josie Wells. Okay,
if you want to take one off, you can, but
we're not taking that one off. Not for lonesome.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Don't Tropic Thunder then Tropic thunder.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Man. Tropic thunder is such a perfect dude movie. Though
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 2 (04:29):
Yes, I'll say Shawshank redemption. Don't know what to pull off,
but I think that's a good one to add to it.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, we can't. That's just a problem we can't add.
We're out of money.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'll put Shawshank top twenty. Yeah, my favorite line being
he was gone like a fart in the wind.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Shane, You're up, oh man, I had both of mine
taken away? Is jalal Josie Wells and Shawshank Redemption.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Uh, I just take off.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Tropic Thunder and foot up Dance 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 5 (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 who 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 writing. That's that's why I
don't care for Arnold Schwasnaker 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 a 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, go ahead, Uh Borat, tick
off Red Dawn and put what.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Borap?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Why going?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
He didn't?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You didn't watch it?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Funny scene was whenever do you remember whenever?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He was being an interviewing the.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
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? He didn't he
didn't like Borhead.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
How about no, no, no, no no no. I thought Borat
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
(07:06):
put it top ten. I mean that's the problem here. No,
it can't be top ten. Barrett would maybe make top
five hundred. Jeff, you're up, Jeff, what you go?
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But you know that's it. 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 responses as the parliamentarian Michael's rules
of order. No Cliff, you're up, take one off, put one.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
On, take off, red down, and replace him with a
Southern comfort.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Why that's a great movie. Well, sure it's a great movie,
but it's not better. Have you seen red don Man?
When Red Dawn came out? That was real?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Now like tonight tonight and you need to escape from
the every day escaped of the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Oh Jeff stop what you're doing and listening. I'm gonna
start it over. Jeff Eely, My goodness, how good was
he in this movie? How good was he? This was
when we all discovered Canadian Jeff Eely. This was such
(08:49):
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
or not, but the movie in this song kind of
(09:10):
kind of took him to a whole different level. And Wow,
he was so good. I thought 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
(09:30):
he was never as great as he was when he
was in college. Yeah, he's one of the best college
football players of all time. You jackassd 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. All right, Jeff Healey, here we go.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
Guy Yo Luken so five hun of every guy has
got you.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
This side.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
What you do him with the clah light.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
This guy to beev a life.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
Mister read So it's a sizable One of the greatest
former NFL players that you ever want to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Is Indie Kalut, who played for the Eagles and then
finished his career with Ut played college ball at Rice.
The head coach at University of Texas told him when
he had committed to you, and then he decommitted to
go to Rice because his parents said no you're gonna
get a good degree in study. It's too much party
(11:08):
in ut The coach said, are you kidding me? I've
never lost a 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. Indy.
He comes back, Well, then Miller's Crossing. I guess what's
(11:33):
what he thought of as a white people movie. How
good was John traturo in Miller's Crossing as Bernie Burnbomb
as creepy Bernie Burnbomb the second time when they bring
him out to shoot him and his lip, the way
his lip goes up to me, oh man, John Tratruro
is so talented, the breadth of roles he plays. All right,
(11:58):
it's your top ten dude movie. 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, drinking beer, not too serious, and a line
comes up. Everybody knows the line and everybody loves it,
(12:19):
and you start ah roadhouse. 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
(12:41):
send an electric Can 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? Two thousand million? Okay,
all right, let's start with Jeremy and go down. Jeremy,
take one off and put one on.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
This is why we can't have nice things.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Michael. Let's take off Tropic Thunder and Big Lebowski put
him in the box with Dumb and Dumber.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Put in Tombstone and Brave Heart.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
What does that mean? Well, if he's not wrong, then
you have to agree. What did you take off?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I took off Tropic Thunder and dig Lebowski put in
Tombstone and Brave part. I can't argue with that?
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I yeah, no, I can, and I do. All right,
I'm gonna put you in top twenty. But that's all
you're gonna get. Greg, You're up.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Yeah, take up the bigger basket and sut on one
or two of the cookers.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Nash, that's a classic movie. But that's not a dude movie.
It's a classic. It's not even Jack Nicholson's best movie.
It's not even Jack Nicholson's most doodly movie. Matt, you're up.
(14:02):
By the way, there is a Clint east hold on.
There's a Clint Eastwood documentary on Amazon. It's one of
the paramount or 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.
(14:25):
And then toward the end you realize that 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
(14:48):
in movies in the same year, and you 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's ever done before or since
and ever will Matt You're up, I'm sorry, Go ahead, sir,
(15:09):
Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, no problem, pick off Scarface and add Anchorman. And
my buddy wants to tick off for his board dogs
in that caddyshack.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Who is your buddy? What are you doing? We're doing
proxy votes?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Now, well, he's Monroe.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
He's listening.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
He just can't get through.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Who is he?
Speaker 11 (15:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
He works as Scuretile. He's in the sugar line right now.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Monroe?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Monroe? What Ashworth? Monroe Ashworth? Before that sounded like English nobility,
before you said the fourth? Is he really Monroe Ashworth?
The fourth?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yes he is, and his son is the fifth. We
call him Quinn.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And what did he want to do? Put? Anchorman's a
top twenty but not top ten? But where what did
he want to do it? Who do you want to
take off?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
He wanted he wanted to take off reservoir dogs and
that caddy shack.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Caddy shacks are top. I'm pretty solid, you know, we
may be able to We may be able to build
out our top twenty now because I've got my my
bubble cases over here to the side, but none of
them make the top ten.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
All right, fair enough?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
And what was your choice?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
My choice was Anchorman taking off scarface?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Are you serious? How old are you? Well?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Fifty years old?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But the whole sex panther scene makes me cry laughing
every time I watch it. I can't help myself.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
You can't be fifty and choose scarface over Anchorman, Zimpo.
Were you raised in the US or were you like
a military brad or something?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, it's overseas every now, man. Yeah, that's been about
first ten years now, I've over sead.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay, that's that yet. Okay, it's like a Rodulus and
Remus thing. And if you were raised by wolves and
I can't hold it against you, James, what you got?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah, I'm thinking apocalypse now and not the famous I'm
sorry remove pulp fiction, but add apocalypse now. Because after
he says I love the smuggle with 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 1 (17:17):
Yeah, no, it's in it's true, 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 in on the do list. Look, somebody's
got to make these decisions. I'm not happy about it,
but denni's real quick, what's yours?
Speaker 12 (17:38):
I say, removed the Big Lebowski and put in a
forty eight hours with Nicks, and.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You just wanted a blackout on 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 parts and people whining. God, it's tough
standing for something, Ramon. I'll say I have made an
(18:06):
amendment after considerable amount of thought, and the top ten
Dude movies list at present is as follows, Roadhouse, Tropic Thunder, Reservoir, Dogs,
Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlawed, Josie Wells,
(18:32):
Big Lebowski. I have removed Red Dawn and replaced with
Young Guns. Oh yeah, whoa. 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
(18:56):
for Old Men, Fargo, Tombstone Fight Club, which, by the way,
by mentioning it Lonesome Dove. Some of 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.
We'll go down. Oh wait, we got to get Dennis
on there because that's the only black guy we've had,
(19:17):
and he had to put a black carot. You saw that,
m You just wonder he didn't try Sidney Poitier or something.
Guess who's coming to dinner, Dennis. Yes, sir, we let
one black dude on there, and you had to put
a movie with a black dude in there.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's great. It's a great movie. It doesn't make even
the top twenty five, but it's in the top fifty.
And the line of what happens 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
(19:59):
hit after hit after he after hit.
Speaker 13 (20:02):
Yep, he was going.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
He was going. 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 that was sort of played out
and passed on, then I think he went to silly stuff,
like Martin Lawrence level stuff, and I think that's beneath him.
(20:26):
I thought Harlem Knights was clever, but I think from
then he just went into the silly, like thet the
nutty Professor. That kind of stuff really die for me.
Speaker 12 (20:38):
No, No, I really missed him as a stand up comic.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Delicious and Raw when I was a kid, were so
at hunt, wasn't it delivers? Sorry, delirious? You're right, delirious,
I said. Delicious, Delirious, Raw were as good as it gets. Dinnis,
Do you have any movies with all white people you'd
like just to just to build your credentials.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Well, I'll tell you what I do.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Like the movie Casino with Robert de Nario, Robert de
Niro and you know Joe Pesci. Okay, yeah, okay, all right.
I just want to make sure Robert you're up what
you got?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Hey, how about that? I take off reservoir dolls and
put on The Revenant.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That whole movie could be reduced down to Leonardo DiCaprio
getting booty humped by a bear.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
That's the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's one that's like Deliverance. 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 is slow moving. I give you a
movie to watch. It's called, uh, The Banshee's of Inner Sharon.
(21:59):
It's an Irish film and have you seen it? And
it's really really good. But it's like a Beckett play.
It's very slow movie, very brooding and melancholy. I mean,
you get a sense of how still this village is
(22:20):
by the dark, even the filters they use on the camera.
Everything is perfect for what it is. But it is
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, Petru, you handle the training.
I will be in charge of almost everything else. And
(22:41):
movies are kind of my thing, and he said, well,
just watch the band. She's of ben A. Sharon never
even heard of it, and he kept after me, kept
after me, and when he finally stopped asking me about it,
then I decided quietly I'd slip off and watch it.
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.
Did we do, Melanie, Melanie, you're up.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
No, I would remove the big Lebowski and replacement smoking
the bandit because the big Lebowski is great, but Jackie
Gleason is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Man, I hate it. I didn't think about smoking the
band for a dude movie.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Gise you, someb bitch.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
When when Jackie Gleason orders his Diablo sandwich, I'm.
Speaker 13 (23:34):
Gonna tell you, man, dollar and a half cheap check.
Let me have a dad, go sign doc got back.
I'm making fast. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Damn Murry.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
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. I'm
not making excuses. We didn't prepare our list and roll
(24:15):
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 duly
dude movie. It's a movie chicks can watch, and they
got a little you know, they got a little love
(24:38):
interest in there and all that. But the writing for
Smoking a Bandit is the ultimate dude movie right on.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
It's the ultimate ten thousand sweet little ladies of seventy
or more that would make a pound cake that you
could eat cold and enjoy.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Michael very cho even now.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
I am William Wallace, and I see, oh army of
my countryman here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to
fight as free man, and three.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Men you are. What will you do without freedom? Will
you fight? I guess that now we will ride and
we will live. All right, Fight and you may die,
run and you'll live.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
At least a while.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I'm dying in your pants many years from now.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
Would you be willing to train all the days from
this day to that for one chance, just one chance.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm talking back here. I'm telling all right that they
may take a light well, don't never take great on
you know how NFL players now come into the stadium
(26:20):
with their headsets on their you know, playing Black Sabbath
or whatever fires them up. I would imagine you could
just put Brave Heart on before the game and you
did that, Would that be it? Yeah, just just put
Brave Heart on and be done with it. All right,
(26:41):
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. But a dude movie. To get back to
what we were talking about, because there's always an attempt
(27:03):
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 Wells? You make exception,
make exceptions. So our top ten is Big Lebowski, Outlaw,
(27:27):
Josie Wells, Lazing Saddles, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, Blues Brothers, Reservoir Dogs,
Tropic Thunder, Young Guns, Smoking the Bandit. That's where we are.
That's our list. You don't need to tell me about
another movie that's great, that might be number eleven. You
can only have ten in the top ten. It's all
there is to it. We'll start with Scott and go
(27:48):
down the list.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Okay, go be controversial, Michael.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I'm gonna give you a tough one.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Remove pulp fiction on the grounds that it's not just
a dude movie. Chicks like it too, and replace it
with another Tarantino masterpiece, Natural Born Killers.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
No, if I was going to replace it, I replace
it with true romance, but not Natural Born Killers. You
know that woman Julie 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 is huh,
(28:38):
Juliette Lewis. And you know Woody Harrelson is crazy and
his dad was crazy. Dad assassinated a judge. The casting
for that movie that 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?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
What's the singer? The Canadian Gosh dog? I can't stand
when I can't Yeah he did. Hallelujah. Man. I know
you don't have to tell me. I just can't think
of it right now.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
Shane, go ahead, I'm gonna play play Uh, I know
the movie that I want to say, but I need
to have cool hand Luke in there.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Not as a dude movie. 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,
I like you stole My Thunder.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I was gonna say, take off Reservoir Dogs and put
in True Romance.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
But I'm gonna go off the board here.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm gonna say take off reservoir Dogs and let's go
and add Rattling Home. No, Mitchell, go.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Take off topic Thunder and put in Doctor Strangelove.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
No great movie, though one of Kubrick's finests. Love Doctor
Strange Love. I love Peter Sellers. Peter Sellers is one
of the most underrated actors of all time, so influential,
so many things derivative of characters he created and Slim Pickens.
(30:28):
Don't get me going on that movie. But no, Chris
go ahead. Now influential, influential to dude movies, Yes very
much so, Chris go ahead.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Yeah, I'm gonna take off the dude.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I'm gonna get buzzared for it.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
But I'm gonna add.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Welcome to the Party Pyle, John McClain, the.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Original is this Diehard absolutely the first one. That's a
dumb movie.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
But it's a great dude.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Boobe bo Brown tried to get Diehard on there.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
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 them that much. But we
can't get away with it, so we don't. But I
(31:28):
wish there was a way to cattle prod people that
every year go it die Hard of greet but movie
and then they go back it is I ain't it?
Is it? 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
(31:49):
never watched Diehard. I'm not going to John, You're up, Yes,
take off young Gun and replaced. We met Robert Williams
and Kurt Rossel's the Best of Times. No, No, not
even close. Shane. Sorry, go to Chuck because I think
(32:10):
we went to Shane Harash, Chuck. You're up. Patton the movie, Patty,
it's a great movie. I wouldn't call it a dude movie.
There's got to be some whimsy to a dude movie.
George C. Scott is so damn good in that movie.
He is so good. I went back recently, about six
(32:30):
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. But boy, was
George C. Scott good. Gosh, he's good. And that scene
in front of the massive flag, it's just so incredibly good.
And you know what it ended up making me mad.
(32:51):
I wish I hadn't done it. Because Patton is removed
of command for slapping an officer and telling him fro
an officer who was what they called shell shock today's PTSD.
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.
(33:14):
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
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 gonna make it easy on y'all and put big
Lebowski in A's number ten so we can get to
the good stuff. And that is, take one off and
put one on. This is what Congress never learns to do,
and most people don't have the skill set to do.
(00:20):
You've got to be able to tell me which of
these ten has to come off the list to put
yours on there. 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,
(00:42):
Josie Wells, big Lebowski. 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
(01:04):
by the way, there's gonna be some good movies that
would be eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen that just don't make
the top ten. I'm not taking it personally. You got it. 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.
(01:25):
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 lightning round.
Let's play a lightning round game. But it's night. By
(01:46):
the way, you were right. The tenth choice lesbian woman Nydia,
the dog handler, very frequent. She nailed it. I said, okay,
well maybe Ramon was onto something. All right, David, take
one off and put one on.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
All right, take off reservoir Dogs.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Put on a long planes drifter Man.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Great movie, but not under this category, not not even close,
but great movie. Paul, you're up.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I take off Reservoir Dogs. Also in the Great Escape.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'll assume you haven't seen Reservoir Dogs and we'll leave
it there. Chad, you're up.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Traffic thunder off and add No Country for Old Men.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You know, so fun it's funny you say that 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
(02:54):
and mail him to him, and it is a great
connection for us. Even if you're not a big reader,
find the book of a movie you like and send it.
I just sent him Cormack McCarthy's. I sent him five
Cormack McCarthy books, and one of them was No Country
Roll Men, and I prioritize him and he's really enjoying it.
Glad you brought that up. I got to figure out
(03:17):
a way to get that on the list. I just
I can't. I'm struggling as to who I take off Hans.
You're up? Is this crawlfish Hans? This is the only Hans?
Is that the Hans? Is that the crawfish Hans?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No, this is Hans from counting year old?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh hands on Rosa, All right, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So I would take off Josie Wales the same movie
in the same genre, which is prerequisite for any other movie.
It's the Lonesome dove.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What you know what. I'm in here trying to think
and you're over there trying to Honestly, I don't want
to say you're vote doesn't matter, but I don't know
why you You can't take off bout of Josie Wells. Okay,
if you want to take one off, you can, but
we're not taking that one off. Not for lonesome.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Don't Tropic Thunder then Tropic thunder.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Man. Tropic thunder is such a perfect dude movie. Though
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 2 (04:29):
Yes, I'll say Shawshank redemption. Don't know what to pull off,
but I think that's a good one to add to it.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, we can't. That's just a problem we can't add.
We're out of money.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'll put Shawshank top twenty. Yeah, my favorite line being
he was gone like a fart in the wind.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Shane, You're up, oh man, I had both of mine
taken away? Is jalal Josie Wells and Shawshank Redemption.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Uh, I just take off.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Tropic Thunder and foot up Dance 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 5 (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 who 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 writing. That's that's why I
don't care for Arnold Schwasnaker 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 a 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, go ahead, Uh Borat, tick
off Red Dawn and put what.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Borap?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Why going?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
He didn't?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You didn't watch it?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Funny scene was whenever do you remember whenever?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He was being an interviewing the.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
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? He didn't he
didn't like Borhead.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
How about no, no, no, no no no. I thought Borat
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
(07:06):
put it top ten. I mean that's the problem here. No,
it can't be top ten. Barrett would maybe make top
five hundred. Jeff, you're up, Jeff, what you go?
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But you know that's it. 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 responses as the parliamentarian Michael's rules
of order. No Cliff, you're up, take one off, put one.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
On, take off, red down, and replace him with a
Southern comfort.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Why that's a great movie. Well, sure it's a great movie,
but it's not better. Have you seen red don Man?
When Red Dawn came out? That was real?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Now like tonight tonight and you need to escape from
the every day escaped of the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Oh Jeff stop what you're doing and listening. I'm gonna
start it over. Jeff Eely, My goodness, how good was
he in this movie? How good was he? This was
when we all discovered Canadian Jeff Eely. This was such
(08:49):
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
or not, but the movie in this song kind of
(09:10):
kind of took him to a whole different level. And Wow,
he was so good. I thought 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
(09:30):
he was never as great as he was when he
was in college. Yeah, he's one of the best college
football players of all time. You jackassd 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. All right, Jeff Healey, here we go.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
Guy Yo Luken so five hun of every guy has
got you.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
This side.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
What you do him with the clah light.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
This guy to beev a life.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
Mister read So it's a sizable One of the greatest
former NFL players that you ever want to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Is Indie Kalut, who played for the Eagles and then
finished his career with Ut played college ball at Rice.
The head coach at University of Texas told him when
he had committed to you, and then he decommitted to
go to Rice because his parents said no you're gonna
get a good degree in study. It's too much party
(11:08):
in ut The coach said, are you kidding me? I've
never lost a 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. Indy.
He comes back, Well, then Miller's Crossing. I guess what's
(11:33):
what he thought of as a white people movie. How
good was John traturo in Miller's Crossing as Bernie Burnbomb
as creepy Bernie Burnbomb the second time when they bring
him out to shoot him and his lip, the way
his lip goes up to me, oh man, John Tratruro
is so talented, the breadth of roles he plays. All right,
(11:58):
it's your top ten dude movie. 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, drinking beer, not too serious, and a line
comes up. Everybody knows the line and everybody loves it,
(12:19):
and you start ah roadhouse. 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
(12:41):
send an electric Can 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? Two thousand million? Okay,
all right, let's start with Jeremy and go down. Jeremy,
take one off and put one on.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
This is why we can't have nice things.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Michael. Let's take off Tropic Thunder and Big Lebowski put
him in the box with Dumb and Dumber.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Put in Tombstone and Brave Heart.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
What does that mean? Well, if he's not wrong, then
you have to agree. What did you take off?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I took off Tropic Thunder and dig Lebowski put in
Tombstone and Brave part. I can't argue with that?
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I yeah, no, I can, and I do. All right,
I'm gonna put you in top twenty. But that's all
you're gonna get. Greg, You're up.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Yeah, take up the bigger basket and sut on one
or two of the cookers.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Nash, that's a classic movie. But that's not a dude movie.
It's a classic. It's not even Jack Nicholson's best movie.
It's not even Jack Nicholson's most doodly movie. Matt, you're up.
(14:02):
By the way, there is a Clint east hold on.
There's a Clint Eastwood documentary on Amazon. It's one of
the paramount or 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.
(14:25):
And then toward the end you realize that 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
(14:48):
in movies in the same year, and you 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's ever done before or since
and ever will Matt You're up, I'm sorry, Go ahead, sir,
(15:09):
Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, no problem, pick off Scarface and add Anchorman. And
my buddy wants to tick off for his board dogs
in that caddyshack.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Who is your buddy? What are you doing? We're doing
proxy votes?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Now, well, he's Monroe.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
He's listening.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
He just can't get through.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Who is he?
Speaker 11 (15:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
He works as Scuretile. He's in the sugar line right now.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Monroe?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Monroe? What Ashworth? Monroe Ashworth? Before that sounded like English nobility,
before you said the fourth? Is he really Monroe Ashworth?
The fourth?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yes he is, and his son is the fifth. We
call him Quinn.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And what did he want to do? Put? Anchorman's a
top twenty but not top ten? But where what did
he want to do it? Who do you want to
take off?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
He wanted he wanted to take off reservoir dogs and
that caddy shack.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Caddy shacks are top. I'm pretty solid, you know, we
may be able to We may be able to build
out our top twenty now because I've got my my
bubble cases over here to the side, but none of
them make the top ten.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
All right, fair enough?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
And what was your choice?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
My choice was Anchorman taking off scarface?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Are you serious? How old are you? Well?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Fifty years old?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But the whole sex panther scene makes me cry laughing
every time I watch it. I can't help myself.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
You can't be fifty and choose scarface over Anchorman, Zimpo.
Were you raised in the US or were you like
a military brad or something?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, it's overseas every now, man. Yeah, that's been about
first ten years now, I've over sead.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay, that's that yet. Okay, it's like a Rodulus and
Remus thing. And if you were raised by wolves and
I can't hold it against you, James, what you got?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah, I'm thinking apocalypse now and not the famous I'm
sorry remove pulp fiction, but add apocalypse now. Because after
he says I love the smuggle with 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 1 (17:17):
Yeah, no, it's in it's true, 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 in on the do list. Look, somebody's
got to make these decisions. I'm not happy about it,
but denni's real quick, what's yours?
Speaker 12 (17:38):
I say, removed the Big Lebowski and put in a
forty eight hours with Nicks, and.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You just wanted a blackout on 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 parts and people whining. God, it's tough
standing for something, Ramon. I'll say I have made an
(18:06):
amendment after considerable amount of thought, and the top ten
Dude movies list at present is as follows, Roadhouse, Tropic Thunder, Reservoir, Dogs,
Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Blazing Saddles, Outlawed, Josie Wells,
(18:32):
Big Lebowski. I have removed Red Dawn and replaced with
Young Guns. Oh yeah, whoa. 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
(18:56):
for Old Men, Fargo, Tombstone Fight Club, which, by the way,
by mentioning it Lonesome Dove. Some of 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.
We'll go down. Oh wait, we got to get Dennis
on there because that's the only black guy we've had,
(19:17):
and he had to put a black carot. You saw that,
m You just wonder he didn't try Sidney Poitier or something.
Guess who's coming to dinner, Dennis. Yes, sir, we let
one black dude on there, and you had to put
a movie with a black dude in there.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's great. It's a great movie. It doesn't make even
the top twenty five, but it's in the top fifty.
And the line of what happens 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
(19:59):
hit after hit after he after hit.
Speaker 13 (20:02):
Yep, he was going.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
He was going. 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 that was sort of played out
and passed on, then I think he went to silly stuff,
like Martin Lawrence level stuff, and I think that's beneath him.
(20:26):
I thought Harlem Knights was clever, but I think from
then he just went into the silly, like thet the
nutty Professor. That kind of stuff really die for me.
Speaker 12 (20:38):
No, No, I really missed him as a stand up comic.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Delicious and Raw when I was a kid, were so
at hunt, wasn't it delivers? Sorry, delirious? You're right, delirious,
I said. Delicious, Delirious, Raw were as good as it gets. Dinnis,
Do you have any movies with all white people you'd
like just to just to build your credentials.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Well, I'll tell you what I do.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Like the movie Casino with Robert de Nario, Robert de
Niro and you know Joe Pesci. Okay, yeah, okay, all right.
I just want to make sure Robert you're up what
you got?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Hey, how about that? I take off reservoir dolls and
put on The Revenant.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That whole movie could be reduced down to Leonardo DiCaprio
getting booty humped by a bear.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
That's the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's one that's like Deliverance. 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 is slow moving. I give you a
movie to watch. It's called, uh, The Banshee's of Inner Sharon.
(21:59):
It's an Irish film and have you seen it? And
it's really really good. But it's like a Beckett play.
It's very slow movie, very brooding and melancholy. I mean,
you get a sense of how still this village is
(22:20):
by the dark, even the filters they use on the camera.
Everything is perfect for what it is. But it is
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, Petru, you handle the training.
I will be in charge of almost everything else. And
(22:41):
movies are kind of my thing, and he said, well,
just watch the band. She's of ben A. Sharon never
even heard of it, and he kept after me, kept
after me, and when he finally stopped asking me about it,
then I decided quietly I'd slip off and watch it.
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.
Did we do, Melanie, Melanie, you're up.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
No, I would remove the big Lebowski and replacement smoking
the bandit because the big Lebowski is great, but Jackie
Gleason is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Man, I hate it. I didn't think about smoking the
band for a dude movie.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Gise you, someb bitch.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
When when Jackie Gleason orders his Diablo sandwich, I'm.
Speaker 13 (23:34):
Gonna tell you, man, dollar and a half cheap check.
Let me have a dad, go sign doc got back.
I'm making fast. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Damn Murry.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
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. I'm
not making excuses. We didn't prepare our list and roll
(24:15):
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 duly
dude movie. It's a movie chicks can watch, and they
got a little you know, they got a little love
(24:38):
interest in there and all that. But the writing for
Smoking a Bandit is the ultimate dude movie right on.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
It's the ultimate ten thousand sweet little ladies of seventy
or more that would make a pound cake that you
could eat cold and enjoy.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Michael very cho even now.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
I am William Wallace, and I see, oh army of
my countryman here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to
fight as free man, and three.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Men you are. What will you do without freedom? Will
you fight? I guess that now we will ride and
we will live. All right, Fight and you may die,
run and you'll live.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
At least a while.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I'm dying in your pants many years from now.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
Would you be willing to train all the days from
this day to that for one chance, just one chance.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm talking back here. I'm telling all right that they
may take a light well, don't never take great on
you know how NFL players now come into the stadium
(26:20):
with their headsets on their you know, playing Black Sabbath
or whatever fires them up. I would imagine you could
just put Brave Heart on before the game and you
did that, Would that be it? Yeah, just just put
Brave Heart on and be done with it. All right,
(26:41):
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. But a dude movie. To get back to
what we were talking about, because there's always an attempt
(27:03):
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 Wells? You make exception,
make exceptions. So our top ten is Big Lebowski, Outlaw,
(27:27):
Josie Wells, Lazing Saddles, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, Blues Brothers, Reservoir Dogs,
Tropic Thunder, Young Guns, Smoking the Bandit. That's where we are.
That's our list. You don't need to tell me about
another movie that's great, that might be number eleven. You
can only have ten in the top ten. It's all
there is to it. We'll start with Scott and go
(27:48):
down the list.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Okay, go be controversial, Michael.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I'm gonna give you a tough one.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Remove pulp fiction on the grounds that it's not just
a dude movie. Chicks like it too, and replace it
with another Tarantino masterpiece, Natural Born Killers.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
No, if I was going to replace it, I replace
it with true romance, but not Natural Born Killers. You
know that woman Julie 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 is huh,
(28:38):
Juliette Lewis. And you know Woody Harrelson is crazy and
his dad was crazy. Dad assassinated a judge. The casting
for that movie that 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?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
What's the singer? The Canadian Gosh dog? I can't stand
when I can't Yeah he did. Hallelujah. Man. I know
you don't have to tell me. I just can't think
of it right now.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
Shane, go ahead, I'm gonna play play Uh, I know
the movie that I want to say, but I need
to have cool hand Luke in there.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Not as a dude movie. 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,
I like you stole My Thunder.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I was gonna say, take off Reservoir Dogs and put
in True Romance.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
But I'm gonna go off the board here.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm gonna say take off reservoir Dogs and let's go
and add Rattling Home. No, Mitchell, go.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Take off topic Thunder and put in Doctor Strangelove.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
No great movie, though one of Kubrick's finests. Love Doctor
Strange Love. I love Peter Sellers. Peter Sellers is one
of the most underrated actors of all time, so influential,
so many things derivative of characters he created and Slim Pickens.
(30:28):
Don't get me going on that movie. But no, Chris
go ahead. Now influential, influential to dude movies, Yes very
much so, Chris go ahead.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Yeah, I'm gonna take off the dude.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I'm gonna get buzzared for it.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
But I'm gonna add.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Welcome to the Party Pyle, John McClain, the.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Original is this Diehard absolutely the first one. That's a
dumb movie.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
But it's a great dude.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Boobe bo Brown tried to get Diehard on there.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
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 them that much. But we
can't get away with it, so we don't. But I
(31:28):
wish there was a way to cattle prod people that
every year go it die Hard of greet but movie
and then they go back it is I ain't it?
Is it? 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
(31:49):
never watched Diehard. I'm not going to John, You're up, Yes,
take off young Gun and replaced. We met Robert Williams
and Kurt Rossel's the Best of Times. No, No, not
even close. Shane. Sorry, go to Chuck because I think
(32:10):
we went to Shane Harash, Chuck. You're up. Patton the movie, Patty,
it's a great movie. I wouldn't call it a dude movie.
There's got to be some whimsy to a dude movie.
George C. Scott is so damn good in that movie.
He is so good. I went back recently, about six
(32:30):
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. But boy, was
George C. Scott good. Gosh, he's good. And that scene
in front of the massive flag, it's just so incredibly good.
And you know what it ended up making me mad.
(32:51):
I wish I hadn't done it. Because Patton is removed
of command for slapping an officer and telling him fro
an officer who was what they called shell shock today's PTSD.
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.
(33:14):
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
served who said that, well, this has been a very,
very painful and difficult exercise, but I feel like we
made some ground.
