Speaker 2 (00:25):
This is Drinking With Now Here's your host, Steven my Cash.
Happy holidays, everybody.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Welcome to Drinking With the podcast, where we raise a
glass to the movies that have reached the legal drinking age.
I'm your host, Steph mccash or the Sobros Networking, and
join me as we embark on a cinematic journey through
the classics of yesteryear, celebrating their twenty first birthdays in style,
from iconic blockbusters hitting gyms, each episode will toast to
a different film that has stood the test of time
and shaped our cultural landscape. So grab your favorite beverage

(00:57):
or the one we have curated for this episode and
let's dive into the nostalgia has explored movies that are
finally old enough to join us for a drink. Joining
me at the bar this holiday season, as always, are
the two best people I can think of the stumble
out of the bar with after a long discussion of movies.
First is the resident film critic of the Sobros Network,
mister Brandon Vick, who's also a board member of the
Southeastern Film Critics Association that just lost my voice, a

(01:21):
board member of the Music City Films Critics Association, and
most importantly, the birth giver of the vix Flicks and
Cinema Chronicles podcast that you can hear wherever you get
this podcast from. I should have taken a breath. Sounds
like somebody's trying to dial in. Also joining him is
the man behind the Sobros Network, the e see the
glue of the brand, A Jennificionado cat lover all around

(01:43):
football wordsmith, budding sports talk radio star, mister Stony Gey. Whoo,
I thought Santa was calling there for a second, I
almost picked up.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Now that was the intro to masterpiece.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Make him say uh uhh, no, no, no, no, And
how are we doing today? Holidays?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Pretty good? Happy Holidays. It's it's my favorite time of year.
I was just I brought Spotify up because and our
listeners won't have heard that. That's only for us through
our headphones to have heard.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
That's a shame. That's a shame.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
But I wanted to bring up Spotify because this is
I wanted to look through our episodes for the year
so far. I feel like this has been a really
good year of drinking with. I'm really excited to talk
about the movie we're going to talk about today, but
we have talked about some of my favorite movies in

(02:39):
a time in my life two thousand and fours, when
I graduated high school, growing into an adult, going into college,
all that stuff. To really reflect upon this time in
my life through the lens of these films that we've
discussed this year has been really nice. It's been one
of my favorite seasons of drinking with that we've done yet.

(03:00):
Starting with Collateral, we did The Incredibles, Napoleon, Dynamite, Eternal
Sunshine of the Spotless, Mind Club, Dread. For me, it's
been a it's been a great year, and I'm excited
to wrap it up with the one we're talking about today.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, I don't think I've hated that many.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
There's a couple of stinkers for me.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
What were your stinkers?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Hell Boy?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I see, I loved hell Boy.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
This one. Gosh Boy, if you.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Weren't the host Kill Bill Volume two didn't really do
it for me.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
That's my other one.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I was a little oh yeah, I remember not being
as high on mean girls watching it this time.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
I didn't hate it though, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And Napoleon Dynamite too.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, a little bit of that too.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Hater's gonna hate, hate hate.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I always feel like Stony and I mainly for the
most part, basically fall somewhere within the same.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I watched Million Dollar Baby for the first time classes
of this show.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
That was a great movie. I'm happy we did that one.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I told you guys, told you you know, they filmed
Hillary Smanke's death first.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Is that? Uh? And then the saw.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah stream this year.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, so, uh, let's let's go out with a bang.
I guess for it is which would normally be a
recipe for greatness, and some it is to some it
is to some not so much. But we're talking about
The Terminal. And I'm taking this straight from im dB

(04:36):
because I didn't want to put enough effort into coming
up with a description for this film.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
The Terminal is about an Eastern European tourist unexpectedly finds
himself stranded at JFK Airport and must take up temporary
residents here. This is somewhat based on a true story,
which we'll get into really deeply. Oh you didn't know.
I did not know that. Oh yeah, it's completely different
from the fucking film the I think the true story
would have been better.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Oh you think so.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I think the true story would have made a better film.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Is he stuck in an airport?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah? For eighteen years?

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Oh yeah, God.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I can't believe you don't know this. Now, this is
gonna be fun.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Well, let me tell you this. That movie certainly would
be over seventy hours.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, but that's before the Snyder cut comes out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh yeah, to shame to Shae.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Terminals directed, as we said, by Steven Spielberg. I'm not
gonna list his credits because we all know them. I
did watch one of his movies for the first time
this year, and that was Jaws.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
I guess didn't like that one either.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I get why people love it so much, but it's
it's long and slow and boring.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I really liked it fifty years this year.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's the reason why I watched it. Yeah. The Terminal
was written by Andrew Nicole, who did Gatica, The Truman
Show and the upcoming Monopoly movie.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Is that Monopoly the movie ever gonna get made?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
It says it's in pre production.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
According to State they've been talking about that one for
a while though, or am I crazy?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
No, You're not crazy.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, there's been I think it's changed hands a couple
of times, but.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, and it may change again.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, I was all the time, maybe before the people
hear this.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
It was co written by Sasha Gervasi, who I his
credits really didn't have anything to go with it. And
then Jeff Nathanson who did Catch Me if you can,
the live action Lion King and Mufassa Lion King. So
his movies have made some money.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
They've made some money.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's money.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, let's go to the cast real quick. We got
Tom Hanks, as we talked about, who plays Victor. Chie
McBride plays Moulroy, who was from Gone in sixty Seconds
and Waiting and I Robots. I just think of him
as a cop in everything he plays, but obviously he's
played a lot more things.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
What did he play I'm not looking at his and Waiting.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh, he played Moulroy. He bigger black guy. He's one
of the luggage guys. I think was his character, Ye
Do You Diego? Luna very young as Enrique, he was
intah you two, Mama Tombien, who we reviewed Here Milk
and If Bill Street could Talk. And then Stanley Tucci
is Frank. This is a Stanley Tucci like you've never

(07:13):
seen him before.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I liked him, liked him in this film.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
And then uh, Catherine Zada Jones as Amelia. And then
rounding out the cast is a young Zoey's Aldonna as Dolores,
who you know from classics like Crossroads, drum Line, Dirty Deeds.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Zoe Saldana and Diego Luna were both surprises watching this again.
I did not obviously didn't know who they were at
the time, but and.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Their storyline is one of the biggest issues I have
with this film.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Okay, but it was. It was kind of Uh. I
always like when we go back and watch movies like
this and it's like, oh, yeah, that person, familiar face,
think about what they would become.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, which Diego Luna is, He's an and or right?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:04):
And I mean Zoe just won an oscar for Heaven's sake. Yeah,
for a movie that's not very good, but whatever.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Which one was hers Amelia Perez?

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yes, yeah, I remember.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Uh. So we're drinking today. It's a holiday season. I
think we need a drink and this this one kind
of gives me some some holiday vibes. It's called the
cru Kochian Layover? Did I say the country's name? C
Crosion Layover. You need an ounce and a half of vodka,
three quarter ounce of driver Muth, a half ounce of

(08:40):
cherry liqueur, and a half ounce of lemon juice with
some club soda, little lemon twist for a garnish later.
But what you're gonna do is you're gonna shake the vodka,
the Vermuth, the cherry liqueur, and the lemon juice with
ice straight into a chilled glass over fresh eyes and
the top with club soda and garnish with your limit
twist about that?

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, refreshing holidays.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Rushing and a little bit festive.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yes, yes, I'm with you. I like that, all right,
So we're gonna jump right in. We got time to waste.
It's it's almost New Year's, almost Christmas time, so let's
talk money. Don't have a lot of it this time
of the year, because I'm buying presents.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Left and right exactly.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
But this is this is a Spilberg film. Oh yeah,
this is really gonna suck this year. Being a Spilberg's film,
A Tom Hanks film. There's a lot of money going
to those two names right there. What do we feel
the budget for the Terminal is?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well, I saw it by accident when I was looking
at the Terminal's Wikipedia page. So I'm gonna abstain. We'll
just let Brandon play this game.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Does it start with a six? I'm this is a
game I'm going to play.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
We're not playing this game because.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'm getting sleepy. I don't know. I mean, it's it's
not a big budget like you know, Minority Report.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
You wouldn't think like special effects, c GI budgets, stuff
like that, like exotic locations.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
And I feel like he did it on that sort
of a deal for a Spielberg. I'm going to say
forty one.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well, where you were headed originally pretty much spot on.
It was sixty million, was damn it? And I know
where this money went and we'll get to that. But
was this movie a success? So let's talk box office?
Did you see box office as well?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I did?

Speaker 3 (10:30):
God damn it. Wow, this is gonna be a quick episode. Yeah.
Us Accident us Canada opening weekend. This opened June eighteenth,
two thousand and four, on twenty eight hundred screens. It
opened alongside Dodgeball and around the world in eighty days.
I will tell you right now it did not debut

(10:50):
at number one.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
No, I don't remember this really being a moneymaker, to
be honest, So I feel like it was just kind
of went on by Get why this is there. But
I'm going to say opening weekend.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Opening weekend. I'm going to say in the summer, dudee, I.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Know, I'm so nervous. I am going to say eleven million.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Eleven million. Uh, you didn't give it enough credit. Nineteen million.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Really, I did not think it was close to twenty.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
So your top five that weekend Garfield the movie at
number five? Sure, Shrek two, Oh for Giant Yep, Harry
Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban a number three, Number
two was The Terminal and number one Dodgeball A true
underdog story.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh wow, what.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Has finally dropped out of the top five after months
and months passion of the Christine.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Wow, but we still got to mention it in this episode. Yeah,
but we still thank it.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Your total domestic box office for this was seventy seven
point eight million dollars, so it made us budget and
then worldwide the world loved this film. They love Tom
Hanks two hundred and nineteen million dollars.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
You go.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
That is that surprised me because I've always considered this
to be like to what Brandon was talking about earlier,
like really underrated Tom Hanks, really underrated Steven Spielberg, And
I would have thought that this movie wouldn't have even
made a hundred million.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, I know, but international is key, like China for instance,
So I love there Tom Hanks.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Well, Japan was the biggest, the biggest winner, bringing in
just under forty million. There you go, Japan, Germany just
under fourteen million, and then our friends in Bulgaria fifty
nine thousand.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Bulgaria came out in droves.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
But the country that didn't really come out in droves
but still had I think respectable for the country itself
is Kenya at just thirty one thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
How about that out? Where did Krakosia?

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, well Krakosa is not real?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
No what for?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
First of all, Krakosia is not a real country. What yeah,
you heard it here first twenty one years just like
that fucking accident did not.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Actually I'm gonna go that, I'm gonna fact check you
on that.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
I just felt a hot desert willing to come out
of that.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Well that was this movie was filmed in the Mohabi desert,
so it's very possible that.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Oh well, thank you for connecting.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
That Creakosia on a map.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
God bless, I mean too well, you're trying to decide
if I'm if it's true or not that Crocasia is
a real country. Let's talk about rotten other rotten things
in this room, and that's the tomatoes.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
So, oh my god, oh my god. Krekosia is a
fictional country no sh created for the film that closely
resembles a former Soviet republic. Yeah, I cannot believe for
twenty one years.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Did you ever think to look for it on the
mast or why you've never heard of it since or before.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm just fucking with you, guys, I know you're just
I thought that took a.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Turn, Nona. No, I was gonna let that.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Bet run all the way, Okay, I should.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
I was going to reveal ship.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I was a little pretty.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Who are you just revealed ship?

Speaker 4 (14:29):
That is?

Speaker 3 (14:29):
You don't have smell a vision on your podcast streams,
but god, if you did, you'd probably wreck your car by.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now, well, he just ate some lunch and it's the
third episode of the day, so we shouldn't expects.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
We're trying to push the rest back in, but it
ain't working.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
It ain't. You're pushing on the wrong part of the body.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Buddy.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Let's talk. Let's talk rotten tomatoes. We've got two hundred
and eight reviews for the media, So what do we
think the Terminal sits.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Seventy seventy five. That smells so fucking bad. I didn't
realize what it was good Jesus man.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Well, you both think more highly of the Terminal than
I do, and the media does sixty one percent.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
That's embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
It's about right us.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
The critics should be embarrassed of themselves for that.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Did they watch this same movie?

Speaker 3 (15:21):
They watched the same one I did. That's for sure.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Hand just insane.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
The popcorn meter, the average Joe, Yeah, two hundred and
fifty thousand plus reviews, higher or lower? What are we thinking?

Speaker 4 (15:34):
I think it's higher.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
I don't know. I'm I think it's higher, not.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
By a lot. I'm not saying it's in the I
don't even know if it's in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I'm gonna say sixty four percent.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
I'm gonna say sixty seven.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
They liked it more than you think they did, seventy
three percent.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
That's right, you know why, Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
I just it's such like it's such a sweet.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Tender movie.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yes, I listen, I agree, we're gonna have to we're
about to fight mcash as he tells us why and
why he's wrong. But I just feel like it doesn't
feel like a Spielberg movie. But I'm fine with it
because it's sort of like it's It sort of gives
me the feeling of Larry Crown. For anybody that hasn't

(16:16):
seen that, that's a Tom Hanks Show Your Roberts movie,
and Tom Hanks directed that one. But it just has
this sweetness about it that like nothing like magical, nothing
blows up. It's not that kind of movie. But it's
just I feel like a time capsule of somebody, and

(16:36):
it deals with what they're trying to do, which the
whole mystery of the terminal was why does he even
want to go to New York? When that's revealed? Again,
very sweet, it just feels very genuine and it's a
very generous in many ways. Not just from Tom Hanks's character,

(16:56):
but the whole lot of them.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeahs to me, I would describe it like this time
of year. It kind of has the same cheery sort
of feeling as a Christmas movie, But it's not a
Christmas movie.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Agreed, So take that.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
I wasn't paying Really, It's okay, I'm looking up some stuff.
Let's see what people thought on letterbox because some people
may have agreed with me, some may have agreed.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
With you, since you chose them. I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm just surprised to learn this is such a universally
disliked film. Yeah, it's perfectly harmless.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Maybe is that? Why did they want? Like a saving
private Ryan in an airport? Like I don't understandn't know,
I don't know. What did you want? What did you expect?
It's called the terminal?

Speaker 3 (17:44):
It could have been. That doesn't mean anything could have
been about cancer, that's true. Uh, Will on Letterbox gave
it three stars. How could a guy who is living
in an airport get a girl while I can't even
get a text back.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Because he's such a lovable right, But he also didn't
get the girl in the end?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Well he.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
He, I don't think he lost alt on her. Yeah, yeah,
in that way that this sad SAP's talking about.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Then there's Ginny who gave it five stars.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
I hope that in one of my future lives, I
am born into a universe in which people realize how
good this film is.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yes, preach, preach, preach, preach justice. Justice for the term.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I'm gonna bring it down to not Oh, here we go.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Q y k x c Z sounds stupid.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Already half a star. If anyone brings up this movie
to me ever again, I'm pulling out a gun.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
God, I see why you didn't like that.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
You're ready to get it turned on you. But yeah,
how fire it right into your skull.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, let's kind of meet back, bite your throat, let's
meet back in the middle. We're going to go with
Bowden two and a half stars. Wonderful cinematography that you
can expect from Spielberg and some top notch acting from
Tom Hanks. I disagree about that part, but I don't
know what the fuck I just watched? What?

Speaker 4 (19:14):
What are we? What are we doing here?

Speaker 3 (19:17):
What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (19:18):
He don't know what you watched?

Speaker 3 (19:19):
That's what he says.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
It's the It's such an easy, simple story.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Man gets trapped in airport.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
There is a war going on. It's not that the
doors are locked. He don't know how to get out.
There's a war going on to Did you hear Stanley
Tucci tell him in his office why he had to
and he's trying to survive? And I think, do we
miss the part why he goes through all of this?
I'm not directing this at you. I'm directing this at

(19:48):
the point.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Who doesn't want Stanley or Tom Hanks's car?

Speaker 4 (19:51):
Tom Hanks? Why he's going through all of this to
get into New York for this person? Are they missing
the point for.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
A fucking autograph you could have bought on eBay? I'm sure,
I'm sure. I'm sure Kuzakistan or whatever has.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
The whole point. Your answer to the terminal is he
should have just bought the signature off eBay.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
It had been cheaper and got it quicker. I finally
JJ three and a half stars. The main question for
me is why why make it so cheesy? Why add
a love interest, Why make him kind of stupid? Why
cast Stanley Tucci as the villain, But mainly, with all
of these, why does it kind of work.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Why is he stupid?

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, I think I see how he came around at
the end, but I'm still I guess I'm just lost
in what why other people think this doesn't make.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
The beginning of the film, with the way Hanks portrays
the character to me, kind of becomes its kind of
buffoonish because oh, I don't know the language, so I'm
just going to use this accent to get across, and
it just I it takes me back to that show
Perfect Strangers with the the TV show.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
I haven't watched either one.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, Balki I think is the name of the character.
And he's like from some European country and has a
funny accent and that's the way he gets across because
he doesn't speak the English language that well and whatnot.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Just but I guess, Mike, I guess my question would be,
then what does he do if he's from another country?
Keep in mind, it's not a real country, So what
do you like?

Speaker 3 (21:40):
What do you in this universe? It's a real country
in the film, and you're in New York City of
all the fucking places in the world to be, and
you tell me within ten months that this movie takes place.
You can't get a fucking translator to come in because
the guy they're like, oh, we get a translator, but
he's like two hours away. They even say that why

(22:00):
the trans does never show up.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
It's busy. They're at JFK.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
The JFK that looks nothing like JFK. And we'll get
into that because it actually looks like a real airport.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Did I did have it? Where like when like, at
what part of the airport do all the lights go
out and there's no one there? And I'm like, is
it just because he's in the restaurant portion of it,
because you know, airport's ever sleep or he found it?
So apparently New York doesn't either.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
He found the one part of the airport that's under renovation.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Well, now that's listen, that's that's plausible.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Okay, let's get in. Let's get into what this movie
is really about or what it's inspired by. Insp inspired
by the story of Moran Kareemi Nasari. He landed at
Charles de Gaull Airport near Paris in nineteen eighty eight
after being denied entry into England because his Iranian passport
and United Nations refugee certificate had been stolen. French authorities

(22:55):
wouldn't let him leave the airport, so he remained in
Terminal one, as a stateless person would know where else
to go. He was eventually granted permission to either enter
France or returned to Iran, but he chose to live
in the terminal and tell his story to anyone who
had listened. Reportedly, his mental health deteriorated over the years,
and when given the opportunity to live in France, who
refused because the documents did not identify him as Sir

(23:18):
Alfred and he claimed to have forgotten his native Persian
Persian language. He left the terminal in August of two
thousand and six to be hospitalized for an unspecified illness,
and afterwards he lived in a hotel on the money
he received from the film, which he got paid two
hundred fifty thousand dollars for the rights. Because he wrote
a book called The Terminal Man that you can read,

(23:39):
Oh that tells you everything about it?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Like that? Yeah, I think I would. I'm going to
put that on my good Reads right now.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
There you go. He moved back to the Charles de
Gaul airport in October of twenty two and then later
died of a heart attack in Terminal to f on
November twelve, twenty twenty two.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Woh so he just passed away three years ago ago.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Is based on a true.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Story, and you you think that's I mean, I think
it's more interesting. Is a great film, but that's a
much darker one and a longer one.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
The film starts out by from war, so how much
darker does it get.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
I'm talking about his mental state and deterioration implies someone
that was stolen, so it's not quite the same. I'm
not saying I wouldn't like to see it, but this
one is just not that.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
As long as Tom Hanks doesn't play the guy.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
He doesn't need to, doesn't need to. Adam Driver, Adam Drive,
Adam Driver. Anything that's crazy, just do it. But you're
basing this on an accent that doesn't reel in the
first place, A great European accents of a country that
doesn't exist.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
It's an Eastern European, a blanketed Eastern European accent.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
What's what's wrong with it?

Speaker 3 (24:57):
It's not good And I love Tom Haynes. It's so
cartoonish and buffoonish is how it sounds and comes across.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Oh, I see, you think he's just clowning around.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
I don't think he's clowning around by any means. This
isn't big yeah or splash.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
I don't know. I guess I'm trying to get it.
I don't know what he what you you.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Do realize the majority of the people seem to agree
with me and the and there feels with this film.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
I think it's because it's Tom Hanks.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah, I think I think not just you, but the
majority of people I think are getting caught up in
that Tom Hanks is doing an accent that I think
feels like he should be able to do a better
accent than what he's doing, because you've seen better stuff
like on TV.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
I also think the somebody could have been better cast
in the role. I don't know. I can't give you
an example who Off top of my head. Like I
said earlier, I don't think this is a I think
this is an okay film. I just don't think it's
a good Tom Hanks film, and I definitely don't think
it's a good Steven Spielberg film. Now see, it wouldn't
be in my top ten of either one of those well.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
But that's I mean, that bar is high from what
they've done.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
And so I set the bar high for them to
make good.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
I think it's I think it's a sneaky, feel good
film that has two legendary people who I mean obviously
had already teamed.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Up Catherine Zada, Johneson, sanil No.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Even though I like them, but I also like the
luggage guys, the what's the gentleman's name? He cleans the floors.
He's got some of the best scenes.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, okay, So I had never seen him before then
I looked him up. He's been in a ton of
fucking shit.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
There was something before that movie that I remembered him in,
and now I can't remember it.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't. I didn't know him from Adam, to be honest.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
You know. One of the things was that then the first
like year or two before The Terminal came out, he
was in some big movie. But I don't think you
get the feelings that Stony and I are talking about,
as far as it believing in someone, believing in their vulnerability,
maybe their naiveness, but also lovability. If you don't have

(27:20):
someone like Tom Hanks, like I don't think when he
finally reaches that door and everyone's following him and the guy,
the cop guy gives him his jacket. You I mean,
I'm in. I'm totally bought in. But it's because of
how Tom Hanks approached this character and just how I

(27:42):
just feel like all these things are happening right. Stanley
Tucci is a great example. Everything is kind of it's
either calculated or how does it benefit me? And that's
not Tom. Like, that's not him and that's not who
he is. And that's why I feel like when the end,
which whatever whatever people wanted out of it, I like

(28:06):
that it was just it was for his father, and yeah,
and that's that's it. I think that's why he's not
gonna go buy it. I don't think. I think that's
why he was gonna go and have this person, because
you know, his dad got signatures that were mailed to him,
but he could never get this one. And so this
is what he was going to do. And I I

(28:29):
feel like, you don't for those that liked it, You
can't get behind a character like that without someone that
just has this overall lovable factor as just a human.
Then someone like Tom Hanks, like I don't really know
anybody else accent or not, who could walk into that
role and that's a great and get away with what

(28:53):
he's doing, whether it's the renovating thing. I'm not saying
everything makes sense, but there is a thing of just
a such an on about what he's doing, and it's
not for him, So most of it's not for him.
It's he's helping everybody else do this.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Whole thing with a different casting. You may sacrifice some
of that likability for somebody that probably looks and feels
a little more authentically Eastern European. But if the likability
is the whole point of the Bograpy two, then why
sacrifice that?

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Yeah? Or maybe for some of you think it's a
better movie. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
So, like, if he's there just doing this one thing
for his dad, get in, get out, then why didn't
he go day one? Because Stanley Tucci was like, why
is he here?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Do you want that?

Speaker 3 (29:40):
If he was that damn determined, I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
I don't remember that. I mean he was told he
couldn't leave.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
And then the next the next day he's in his
bathroom walking through the terminal and Stanley Tuch is like,
why is there a guy in the terminal in a bathrobe,
and somebody responds to you told him, told me this
is where he lives.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Well, he will, I think, because I think he was
trying to do the right thing the rules. And then
when he's told him.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
He language, how does he know what the rules are?

Speaker 4 (30:09):
I think he understood English only thing he.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Said yes, yes, yes, And then when they would ask
for his passport.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
That was at the beginning.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
This was at the beginning as well.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
No, no, I'm saying what you're talking about is at
the beginning. Yes, but he's I mean, he's picking up
on things as as he goes, just like they show.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
You, like getting his quarters and buying books.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
But I but I I think, like he says, hey,
basically Stanley Tucci just wants him to get out because
he's someone else's problem. Yeah, he says that like that.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
And he even tells him you can go.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah. But Tom Hanks he knows, even as he's watching
footage of his country and everything else, he knows he can't.
He it's not the right, Like he's not going to
just do it to do it illegally.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Because he's pretty perceptive. I mean, there's a couple of
times in the film, like when he picks up on
the security camera watching him when he's going to leave.
He kind of picks that up with the scene with
the man trying to get the medicine to Canada and
then he realizes, oh, well if it's for an animal,
and then he changes his story to kind of help the.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
Guy, or and it's him visiting of Zoe Saldana where
she's like, oh, you don't need this, and then he
comes back because he's doing this every day.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
So he understood.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
He picks up. I mean, I see it. That's the thing,
Like I don't really feel like he's like an idiot,
like he gets it.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
I don't think if I learned a new language in
six months that I'm going to understand the intricacies of
medical forms enough to help somebody.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Well, you got a lot of downtime in that airport war.
He is stuck in the walls and fountains down reading
forms and all that.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
You're only seeing a little bit of his life, not
like he has the he doesn't have a phone, so
he doesn't have the internet.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Yeah, picking up, No, he's too smart.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
He's too busy eating fucking junior whoppers.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
I know what, and I love how it costs.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
It's a two hour infomercial for Burger King.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
It was seventy like seventy four cents because she gave
him a penny back and he said to keep the change.
And I thought he was a.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Fucking cheap tipper too. Yeah, well, just like a most Europeans.
He's see my part of their culture.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
He did research he was.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Born, but yeah, I don't.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Yeah, and that's why that's why I don't think and
he only did it at the end. It is because
the war's over and because Stanley, I mean, everything kind
of revolves around Stanley Tucci's development and what the authority figure. Yeah,
that's what's kind of keeping him at bay through most

(32:48):
of it until he's like, okay, I like do it.
And of course you know there's a whole distraction the hero.
And then Stanley Tucci says at the end why he
could he could have done that earlier being an asshole.
But I will tell you, I think Stanley Tucci and
I get it. Tom Hanks is the name Catherine Zena Jones,

(33:09):
which I didn't mind. Your letter box says she's the
best part of it. I don't think so but she's
probably the second one because she's she just won an
Oscar for Chicago a year or two before. Stanley Tucci
is very underappreciated, maybe in just general. In this film,
I think he actually I really liked his performance more

(33:30):
than more than I remembered.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I think it's one that'll grow on the overtime, because
I've never seen him in a character.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Like that with Stanley touch Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
As the so called villain, even though I think I'm like,
he was just following the rules for the most part
of the film and then it kind of got out
of what he was trying to grasp that next ring
on the ladder or the guy. Yeah, whether his boss
was retiring, he was up for the promotion. That's where
he kind of like really lost himself, will you.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
But you think about it as like a concerned citizen,
Like he's an antagonist in this film because you're rooting
for Tom Hanks's character, but like in real life, you
want a guy like Stanley Tucci.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, yeah, especially at that airport.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Well we're post not that, we're just recently post nine
to eleven, So half of that ship that wouldn't have flied,
wouldn't have flown, you know, Yeah, at that time, they're
not RFK or any airport in America is not going
to let some some Middle Eastern European or Middle European whatever.
Fuck anybody just live in the fucking airport for ten months?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Do we know that nine to eleven happened in the
Terminal universe?

Speaker 4 (34:34):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
By some of the security questions we see at the
beginning of the film and so forth, I would believe.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
So we'll have to go back and watch that for clues.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
I just want to see what cinematic universe it's in. Right,
is the Polar Express also.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Like Broken Lizard the Conjuring Universe?

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Right?

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah? Is Annabelle touring the nation and killing people?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Maybe?

Speaker 4 (35:00):
What do Why do you think Catherin Zena Jones is
the best part?

Speaker 3 (35:04):
I mean, I was being funny to be glib or anything.
I will say I've never been a big fan of hers,
but I really liked her in this film. You know what,
I did too, And I thought she was beautiful in
this film. I'm like, as a from a physical standpoint,
I've never been attracted to her, but I just love
the way she was lit. I guess, so I just
really liked her in this.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
They did a good job of presenting her as Victor
sees her. I think that's the was the plan there,
if I had to guess.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
And I appreciate that it was not like a holding hands.
They go to New York together and get the signature
and he's gonna stay. I'm glad we didn't go that route.
I'm glad it was where she ended up going back
to something that she knows it and it's never gonna happen.
But but the waiting part of their conversation that also
adds I think some half to the to the story

(35:56):
of not just him stuck in an airport, but kind
of what's going on in the people who are coming
in and out of the airport, and you know, and
you also got like I said, the ensemble cast should
get a lot of credit because there's a lot of
things going on there that I really like. But also
again I think shows you the kind of guy that
Tom Hanks's character was two But I know you didn't

(36:18):
like you said you didn't like the Zoey Seldana diego uh,
which if that's in your notes, just keep ye keep
moving so str.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
We'll get to some of the things that bothered me really,
But this cast includes three Oscar winners, obviously Hank's Zeta
Jones Zoe Now and one Oscar nominee, Stanley.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
Tucci yep, which he was nominated.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
What Spielberg's won Oscars, hasn't he?

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Yeah, he went for saving Private r He hasn't won
an think for acting, but yeah, yeah, Spielberg did win
for saving Private Running.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
At least there were other directors linked to this film
at various points before Spielberg was attached to it. I
mentioned this off air, and I don't think I've mentioned
it since, but I thought and I saw a box
review that said this, and I agreed with her where
she said I thought Robert Zamechis directed this film for
the longest time. He was one of those names. And

(37:08):
another name you see that, Sam Mendez, WHOA.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
I could see. I could see that again. I think
you're talking about I think Zamechas's would look more like Spielberg. Mendez,
I kind of feel like would be more I don't
know why, maybe because he's British, but a lot more dramatic.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah, I'm curious though, Like these are some big names
attached to this project, like did they think were they
going for like Oscar Buzz with this or.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
I honestly never seen the film until literally twenty four
hours ago. Uh thought this was a drama and nothing
comedic about it, and then when the comedy parts started
coming into the film, it just rubbed me the wrong
way because it was not the film I thought I
was sitting down to watch. And maybe that's part of

(37:57):
my issue with the film.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
I think that kind of that might speak to the
bigger problem of maybe why it's sixty percent whatever is
that I think maybe you associate Hanks and Spielberg and
this is not quite what you get, even though I
feel like, I mean, I personally like catch me if
you can better. But that's another Spielberg Hanks one that
ended up being more of an awards player. But it's

(38:20):
I think it's kind of in the same vein the
same term, similar elements.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Yeah, yeah, because I watched the trailer before ever watching
the movie yesterday, and I didn't pick up on comedic
vibes really from the from what I saw.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Okay, maybe it's like the way they do these others
where it's a musical but they don't tell you it's
a musical. They make you.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Think I'd be curious to go back and watch the
trailer because that's an interesting that's an interesting idea.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
I mean, it does seem like that would come out
in November, so it's like, yeah, it really does.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
The Materialist that came out earlier this year. Yeah, the
trailer sells you on a completely different movie.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Yeah, No, it's not a wrong com.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
No, it's not at all a great film.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
I just say I also really liked it. But I agree.
I think there's some things where people are like, well,
wait a minute, that's not you know. But then I
guess to me, it's kind of like, again, you kind
of associate people certain stuff. Now when I see like,
you know, writer, director, Academy War nominee from Past Lives,
I'm gonna say, Okay, this can't be a rom com
like Matthew McConaughey rom com, you know. And so I

(39:23):
just wonder if it kind of on the flip side
of it, was this a thing of like, like you said,
it's kind of seen as maybe more of this dramatic
piece than just like actually, like it is a bit looser.
It can get silly. But again, I mean I think
I think it's heart is in the right place.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Like Tom Hanks has done a large number of comedies
over his career. Oh yeah, but Spielberg is when I
think comedy is not the name I go to.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah, no again, I think cash Me if you can
is the closest one I can kind of think of that,
sort of like, I.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Mean this, granted, Schindler's List is a fucking riot.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
Yeah, well, well that's true. That's true. Well, you know,
I mean some people say Passionate of the Christ is.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Too Yeah, some people think it's a documentary as well.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Oh that's true, that's right.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
But Steven Spielberg's This is Steven Spielberg's first movie to
utilize a digital intermediate, which I didn't even know that
was before.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Well, I'm going to tell you, okay. A digital intermediate
often replaces or augments the photochemical timing process, the colorization
and such, and it is usually the final creative adjustment
to a movie before distribution in theaters.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
How about that.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
First to use? And it was a fairly new concept
at the time too. I think like one or two
movies had used it prior.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
It does make me wonder like how it goes from
one director or the other where Spielberg does it, because
there are countless stories that I've heard in documentaries or
you know, just actors or directors saying yeah, you know,
I did this, or Spielberg called me and said, hey,
you should look into this script, like he's all I
mean his I'm just curious what that process was because

(41:02):
I feel like if Spielberg owned it, was it just
something he was going to produce and not do it,
and then eventually he decided. I don't know if that's
part of the game where Spielberg isn't first and is
deciding what role am I going to play it?

Speaker 3 (41:16):
I mean, it's a DreamWorks film, so it could have
been him Catten's Burg.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
That's why I think the script was there. The question
was did he want to do it? And when other
people passed, I guess maybe thought, you know what, or
it could be word once Tom Hanks got on board
and they talked and he's like okay. Because keep in
mind they've also been producing Buddies for a Band of
Brothers Pacific. I mean, they do a lot of stuff.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Another nerdy fact for you is that a majority, if
not All of the flights that you see on the
departure board were flights operated by members of the Star
Alliance and United Airlines is a founding partner of the
Star Alliance. Star Line sounds like something out of a
Marvel film or what it does. Yeah, yeah, but it's
a real thing. It's an airline alliance had quartered in Frankfurt, Germany,

(42:01):
that was founded in May of ninety seven. It is
the world's first global airline alliance. It has twenty five
members that operate a combined fleet of over five thousand
aircraft serving more than thirteen hundred airports and one hundred
and ninety five countries on more than nineteen thousand daily flights.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Damn, damn, it's prolific.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Yeah. I would have thought Star Alliance is something from
like Star Trek.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
I did not think that was real.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah, yeah, I went to this Wikipedia page. It's real real.
We've talked about the collaboration between Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
This is their third collaboration, following Save a Private Ryan
and catch me if you can and then they would
reteam over ten years later. Two more times that I
know of on bridges Spies, which I absolutely loved.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
I never saw that one.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Wow, I really like it, but I love World War Two.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
You should see it for Mark Rylance alone.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah, I do love some Mark Rylance.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
So you have Bridges Spies and then two years later
for The Posts.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
I don't remember that one either.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
That's got Hanks and Meryl Streep in it, and it's
about Watergate. Yes, them like the process and how it
got there. But it's good.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
I mean, it's no President's Men.

Speaker 4 (43:13):
But yeah, well, I I guess that's why I think
like a lot of their collaboration is stuff like that. Like,
I'll be honest, I kind of forgot about The Post.
It's good and it wanted it to be a Awards player.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
Bridge of Spies was, but Mark Rylance and he won
Best Supporting Actor. But yeah, I mean, you know what
through it all, you know I'm saving Private Ryan. It's
just it's in a class of its own.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
I missed that one too.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
You missed it? Oh well, you should go back.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
A lot more of his films than I realized I did.
Hanks or Spielberg were both, I don't both. As a
matter of fact, I've seen more Hanks than Spielberg. But
there's a lot of Spielberg that I need to go
back and uh and watch.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
It's kind of funny how like it seems like he'll
kind of get on with like Hanks for a little bit.
He did Tom Cruise for a little bit, more of
the Worlds and Minority Report, and then he'll kind of
you know, I mean, he did Ready Player one, and
then he did the what's the what's the famous musical?

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Just the West Side Story?

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Yeah? Yeah, and then what's the what's the most recent
when he did The Fableman's which was a very personal one,
which that saw that I feel like he just did
something else.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Like I'm just like, in the last few years, I
didn't realize he did Lincoln.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Oh yeah, I forgot. Yeah, he had to talk to
Danield Lewis a couple the BFG.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Yeah, And I think those are all of the movies
of the last ten years.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
What's the last one you see? The Fableman's is that.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
The Fableman's is twenty twenty two. He's got a science
fiction film coming out, That's what He's next year that
has Emily Blunt and Coleman Domingo and White Russell are
the only names that I recognize in it.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
Okay, And he's linked to George Gershwin Okay.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
And yeah, yeah he does all. You know, he's got
a lot of his producing stuff too.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
So I never saw Honest Odd I did either.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
That's a good one. I just remember. I think I
was probably too young to appreciate it, but I do
remember being super long. But Matthew mcconaughe's in it. In
Anthony Hopkins didn't Freeman.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
Didn't see Empire of the Sun.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
That's a great films.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Christ Christian, Yeah, I never saw Close Encounters of the
Third kind either. There's a lot of his film like
classics that I just I.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Just mind, I haven't seen all of Close Encounters. I'd
like to watch that one. I guess Jaws is my
most I mean, I think he did what Duel before
the Jaws.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
A film called Firelight that is actually partially lost in
nineteen sixty four, and then he did Duel in nineteen
seventy one, the Sugarland Express in seventy four, and then
Jaws was seventy five.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Duel. If I remember Greig, it was a made for
TV movie.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like in the vein
of Carry.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
The Sugarland Express is considered it's noted theatrical film directing data.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
That was what Goldie yep, mhm. Man, he's the man.
You know, the man has jumped from Jaws to et
e T and Jurassic I mean, I feel like every
single thing like he's there, A lot of them are
cinemat like it doesn't get bigger than.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
You couldn't touch him in the eighties.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
And the fact that he is still doing great work.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yeah, it is good. So the documentary that just came
out on the fiftieth year of Jaws is really good.
If you haven't seen.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
That, you know what it depends if you if that's
the first one you've seen as a lot I remember
watching this thing and I think it was called Page
to Screen, and there's a lot of stuff that was
in that that's in this one. They have up to date,
like they you know, they review Emily Blunt and some
of the more famous people now celebrities, but a lot

(47:06):
of that was has actually been documented before. So I
liked it. But a lot of stuff I knew from
John Williams, stuff which Sean Williams has his own documentary
on Disney plus that came out last year where he's
talking about Jaws, and then of course the Shark not working,
and I remember Spielberg saying even thought he'd never work again,
and he was so behind budget. I remember some of
like what they showed in this documentary about the like

(47:29):
the gossip, it was on the it was in the
paper of like this guy is ruining.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
And the actual boat that's used in the film is
in the tour, the trolley tour at Universal Studios, which
I've passed by many times, even most recently when I
was down for HHN. But he would hide in it.
That's why I haven't. I have an anxiety attacks.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Like like that ship saved my life a couple of times.
But the whole one about Robert Shaw being drunk screwing
it up, I remember that being a part of it.
Different one. They said he was a he was a drinker,
but I also loved the story where he apologized and
the next day he knaieled it in one take and
that's what there you.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
This was selected as the opening film of the four
Venice Film Festival.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Really I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Yeah, I didn't know that either.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
And then Victor reads a note to a character indicating
that he intended to stay at the Ramada end one
sixty one Lexington and in real life, one sixty one
Lexington Avenue, New York was indeed home to the Ramada
New York East Side hotel at the time of the
Terminals filming. Its history stretches back over one hundred and

(48:38):
ten years to nineteen fourteen, when it debuted as the
Hotel Rutledge for women, and it retained a women only
policy until the nineteen thirties. It subs Schanchul Jesus Christ.
It bore both quality in and Ramada branding, and since
twoenty seventeen, longtime owner apple Core Hotels has instead had

(49:00):
made the property an in house brand, renaming it the
Hotel at New York City. But it's a real, real place, forever, forever, forever.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Ramda in in our hearts and only let men in
that right.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
While these women need their own place.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Spielberg said that the
film was a slight homage to Jacques Tatis's Playtime and
the work of Frank Capra with this honest sentiment.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Let's see that honest sentiment is.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
A great great yep, okay, so Officer Torres and Zoe
Sidalda says she goes to Star Trek conventions dressed as
I forget what character brand is the last.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Name Darth Vader.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Yeah, but she later played Ourah and Star Trek two
thousand and nine and its sequels by J. J. Abrams.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Wow, she's Gomorra.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
She's Gomorrah. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (50:06):
Is that what you meant? No?

Speaker 3 (50:10):
I know, I was like, I know she was in
that too.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
I actually forget that she has been in Star Trek
in Marvel, so DC's next.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
She's uh, she's got a got some money.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
So has uh? Chris Pine, Yeah, he was in both
Star Trek and DC. Was he in d C too?

Speaker 4 (50:33):
He's not in Marvel.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
I thought he was.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
He was wondering. He's been in the Wonder Woman movies.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
That's where he That's where he's from.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Chris Hemsworth, Yeah, it is Marvel. Chris Pine.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Chris Hamworths was going to be Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
He still might.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
I don't think he want to now.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
That project did get killed.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
Yeah, according to hult Cogan, they had a business mishap
and he had already walked away, which I'm sure that's
not true.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
Wrestlers lie or stressed.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
That one did that bullshit that one did.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Only the truth came out when he was on hidden camera.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
Yeah, boy did they get them.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
And yeah they did that fucking sponge.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Candid camera, the love sponge, whatever the.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Fuck he was uh. Zoe also said working on this
film made her more comfortable with large scale productions after
the negative experience she had while filming Pirates of the
Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
She was in that, Yeah, I don't remember her in that.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
They all run together to.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Me, they she I do remember seeing her in it,
but I couldn't tell you if she was on his
crew or she was with Jeffrey. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Yeah, she looks young. I don't remember I remember this character.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
She didn't have fun in that one.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
No, she's even quota saying. I walked away from Pirates
not really having a good experience from it.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
Overall.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
I felt like I was lost in the trenches of it.
A great deal and I just didn't feel like it
was okay. I worked with Steven Spielberg eight months later,
and he restored my faith that can that big can
also be great.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Yeah, Well, Spielberg's been doing it for a long time
even then. So but now look now she's an Oscar winner,
she should think Spielberg.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Yeah, maybe she has, I hope.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
So.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah. So the airport that we see RFK looks nothing
like RSK RF huh, Kennedy Airport whatever, whatever, r J
JFKKA anyway, it looks nothing like JFK or RFK airports.
But what it does look like is the uh, the

(52:47):
Paris airport that the real story came from. Because the
recreated airport took sixteen weeks to build, contained over one
hundred and twelve thousand square feet of glass, seventy five
thousand square feet of floor space, large enough to hold
six hundred extras. It was fitted with two thousand miniature lights,
and it also included working escalators and real food courts.

(53:10):
Damn about that, man, there's your sixty million dollars.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
But I say, there's that budget right there.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Yeah, they recreated it. It was in Palmdale, California, which
is out in the desert in California. So, uh, and
tell me how boogy this is. You know, how Steven
Spielberg got to work every day? Helicopter helicopter in d nice.
Not Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
Tom Hanks drove a Dodge Neon.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
Probably, or if he's like Will Fairley drove a Dodge
Stratus because he's an important person, right.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
No, I can. I mean it's a I mean, listen,
it's a flex move. But again, if anybody should come
to work in a helicopter, it should be Spilburg.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
I guess he's in a garbon footprint though.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
Yeah, it's okay. We're all gonna die one day.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
That's what my sinnate just tell me. And then the
note on the photocopy of the hand of Victor attached
to the sign all gates says free the goat. As
he's passing by, they all say free the goat on it.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
I didn't even touch that.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Yeah, I think I called it towards the end.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
I did at the end because when he's walking through
and everybody's like getting stored, is like he's going home,
he's leaving or whatever. See them all plastered everywhere, all right,
So that my issues. Okay, So I already mentioned one
about the medicine forums and the English language, so Victor
can't speak the language fairly well. In the halfway through

(54:42):
the movie, but somehow understands how the currency works.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
I thought, what do you mean the current doesn't understand
but somehow understands how the currency.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
How how the American dollar or quarter works. Like he
he gets his quarter from turning in the carts and
then he knows exactly how like a quarter is worth
how much and a dollar is worth how much. When
he comes to like his purchasing skills, I.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Thought he was seeing other people. I thought he saw
somebody else use them or am I misremembering.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
I don't remember seeing that.

Speaker 4 (55:22):
I don't really remember him. I just remember him putting
that money on there on the counter that he got
and then she just gives him the change and he says,
keep it. He just eats a burger like I think
he just what can that get me? Yes, the burger
king one is what I remember. Now he does start
to buy his suit yeah from huge suit yep. So
I honestly I think he really is just now I

(55:44):
will say, if you get if you want to go
too far down here. When he gets that job at
that construction company, you're thinking, are they paying him cash?
Because they surely can't pay him by chat.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
They talk about him being paid cash under the table.
Oh okay, and he's actually making more even Stanley Couchi's
Cucci's character.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
I knew it was gonna have it.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
I knew it was gonna happen. At some point Stanley,
he asked, like how much he's being paid. He's like
nineteen dollars an hour, Sir. He's like, that's more than
I make. And I'm like, okay, so if if, if
you're making less than nineteen an hour and you're about
to go for this promotion, your boss is making more
than you obviously, but is he making enough to buy

(56:29):
a large ass fucking boat like the guy's doing.

Speaker 4 (56:33):
Oh well, you know he listened. He may not know
how to manage. He's a bad money in.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
New York City. He's he's got it like that.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
I am, yeah, I don't. I don't really remember him.
Like again, I kind of put that under like piecing together,
where he sees if he has it, he can buy stuff,
how much everything is. I don't think it's really I
don't think he cares, at least at that stage of
burger king, where I don't even think he knows. He's
just found the coins and through it.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
That's the impression I got, like he just puts it down,
like looks up like what what can I get with
this kind of deal?

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Possibly? And then really, the one, the one thing this
has nothing to do with Hanks, this has to do
with whoever wrote this shit, is how the hell is
Zoe marrying a guy she's never really met just because
Tom Hanks is playing syrian O de bergiact. That was a.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
Little I was like I had to stop and be like, wait,
did I miss the scene where like they flirt with
each other or something?

Speaker 3 (57:30):
Yeah, I walks by her than one scene liver food,
and then he's just looking back at her like, uh,
he's about himself.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
I Uh, I'm with you on that one. There needed
to be a lot more to that, or at least
maybe like they were they were lovers and he's trying
to get them back together and not like meeting them.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
That would have been an easy solution.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
Yeah, And then I think, oh my god, maybe there's
a twist in here. They're trapped at the airport and
they're the only ones who can be together. You see.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
That's that's about as much of a stretch as putting
up the Spock sign and then turning your hand to
reveal you've put the ring on.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
Yeah, I forgot that. I'll be honest, I didn't even
I forgot Zoe Seldon and Diego Diego were even in
this much less that they got married in there without
ever seeing each other. So that's a bit the relationship
they form of Tom Hanks. You can still do that
without having them either fall in love or you don't
need like, okay, that's fine, but like they don't have

(58:32):
to get married, like you can at least be like,
oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
Really on a date? Yeah, they finally say hi, the
date was.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Or I'm sorry the wedding was, Like what purpose did
it really serve?

Speaker 3 (58:46):
It moved nothing for the story? Yeah, yeah, and I
will say it was a subplot that I was invested
in and then it just got it just shipped the
bed completely.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
Yeah. No, I'm I'm with you on that one. Not
that I didn't like them, I just don't know I
like them below, Yeah, I just don't. I don't know
how we got from point A to point B to
getting married in that.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
Yeah, at the airport, he's going up each day asking
all these various questions to get information about her, and
she knows the reason why there's some mystery guy who's
interested in me. And then it just goes away for
like a good thirty minutes of the movie. Yeah, and
then he shows up. I need you to do one
last thing. Yeah, I'm like, fuck her where?

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Yeah, like can you not go and get like just
get on the date?

Speaker 3 (59:34):
I need like about just four minutes. Yeah, of shit
going on. That's really all I've got. You know again,
I didn't hate the film. I gave it two and
a half stars on Letterbox, so I'm that's a solid C.
So I just had some issues with the film, and
like I said, it's an okay film. I just didn't

(59:54):
think it was a great Hanks film or Spielberg film.
And we can agree to disagree, but we go and
we have anything else to add about the Terminal.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
I I think it's a very underrated Hanks and Spielberg film.
I get it's not as big or as flashy as
there are others, not even together, just other films that
each have done. But yeah, I just like the generosity
and that, like I said, it's a very sweet, tenderhearted

(01:00:27):
film that doesn't have to do a whole lot, And
I for quite I kind of forgot what his reason was,
and it touches the soul what he did for his dad.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
Honestly, the whole time I was thinking there was going
to be like remains, and he was there.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
I kind of feel like that's what I wanted you
to think of, Like he had to go here to
spread the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Time is the best thing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
See. I like I like that he like what it
what it meant for his dad. And then the it's
kind of the one that got away. And then and
I even like the way they did it and the
way it ends, like it's not that he has to
chase this guy down or anything like it, like you
know all the dramas in the airport, when he gets out,
gets it, goes home. I like the ending because that's

(01:01:21):
like to me, it's like, look what all he did
when he probably could have gotten it in a totally
different way, but that's not that wasn't his journey.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
I would have been like, hey, dude, these fifty three
other jazz greats sit my dad in an autograph. What's your deal?

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
Yeah, now he could have confronted him, Yeah he could have.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
I will say the jazz artist in the movie is
the real person.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
That's Oh is it actually if that was the real dude?

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
So yeah, so let me ask this one before we
move on. This will be a second like Mount Rushmore question. Then,
out of the five films they've done together, where does
this rank?

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
I haven't seen all five. I haven't seen the posts,
but i've seen four of the five.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Ah, this, I think this is the only one I've
seen that they've done together.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
Just you have homework, homework, sir, Yeah, I do.

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
I would say not that it's I wouldn't rank these
on like the best made films, but as far as
my enjoyment of them, I would probably I would probably
put this at number three.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
I'm assuming behind catch Me in Private?

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Right, yeah, actually, I my Now, it's been a while
since i've seen bridges By as I liked it, I
didn't love it, and the Post was good, but it
wasn't you know again in the in the big scheme
of things, as far as Spielberg, Tom makes stuff. But
it would actually be the order they came out in
Saving Private, Ryan would be first, catch me if you can,
then the terminal, then bridges Spies in the.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Post and Stoney's putting this first.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
I can read it. Catch Me if you can, and
then the terminal.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
I've seen four of the five. Yeah, i'd gone saving
Private Ryan Bridge Spies, catch me if you can, and
then the terminal, and I'd probably just because of the
subject matter as such, i'd probably put it ahead of
the posts if I was there ever finally see.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
It, I thank you. I think you probably would.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
But yeah, that's all I have for the terminal. I'm
ready to talk a little deeper about Tom Hanks if
we want to before we get out of here.

Speaker 4 (01:03:47):
No, this is another impossible question to answer to only
pick four, but.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Mine were kind of easy. But like your favorite Tom
Hanks rolls.

Speaker 5 (01:03:57):
Yeah, So I I took this as like my favorite
like characters, not necessarily, not necessarily how good he did
or how good the movie was, but just the characters.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
I wasn't that big of a fan of Forrest Gump,
but I like the character. I don't know what box
you would put the Polar Express in, but I liked
him in The Polar Express and the myriad of characters
that he plays there. Road to Perdition is one of
my favorites of his. And then I think I would

(01:04:33):
put the Terminal on there for me.

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Yeah, I mean, I kind of thought about doing it
the same way, which I guess. I'm I feel like
the Toy Story movie should be mentioned. I probably wouldn't
put that in my Rushmore because mine it's okay, I
would just say because it's a voice acting. But I
do feel like he is Woody. I mean, my my

(01:05:00):
son will know him as Woody, just like I know
him as Woody. But I'm gonna put that aside. I
am gonna save Forrest Gump. YEA wrote a perdition. I mean,
I feel like probably Saving Private Ryan Captain Miller. Ye.
And this last one is tough because I actually liked

(01:05:25):
both of them, but I would probably go I'd probably
go Castaway, okay. H The Green Mile was another one
that I like. I like that movie, but I really
like him in it, but I'd stick with Cass.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
I'm kind of shocked one of mine wasn't mentioned, So
Forrest Gump obviously I went Woody as well. I went
Captain Miller from Saving Private Ryan, and then I went
Jimmy Duggan A League of their Own.

Speaker 4 (01:05:51):
M Yeah, but I I I feel like I love
him in that film, and that's the thing that's the
tough thing. Tom Hanks.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
I don't think that's a good film without him, but no,
it's not. And I don't think anybody. Maybe somebody could
have pulled that off, but I couldn't tell you who
could have done a better job than him.

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
I'm not even like, I like Castaway, but to me
like his performance. You what is it without him? I mean,
you know what I mean? And yeah, just Wilson so
but yeah, I think the one that would probably surprise
most people, and I have a feeling a lot of
people probably have not seen it is Road to Perdition.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
I haven't seen It to Pradition.

Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
Very I feel like, in speaking, Sam Mendez did do
that one, and it was the last live action role
for Paul Newman because he did he was the voice
in Cars, so that came out later. But I love it.
Jude Law is in it. It's so well done and

(01:06:52):
I love it, and I love Daniel Craig is in it.
I love that scene. Paul Newman says, I was hoping
it'd be you and it's raining.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
Oh boy, cinema, it's so good.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
I would love to see that in a movie theater.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
Again, Hey, why are we getting a Greyhound sequel?

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
We are.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
It's on his list of upcoming gray Oh, along with
Toy Story five.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
Oh my god, I kind of forgot about Greyhound.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
It was not good.

Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
I mean I saw it, I just forgot about it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
I think that might have been the first thing I
saw on Apple.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
Yeah, I think that's what a lot of people got Apple.
Probably watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Watched it with my father in law in town on
a movie night. We sat pop popcorn Fantastic and then
it started pouring down rain, which was nice for the
atmosphere of the movie. And then we came upstairs and
realized that rain was pouring in our bedroom window. Yeah,
that's when we discovered. It was our first year in
the home, and that's when we discovered that when they

(01:07:53):
repaired the windows from the tornado, they did not go
through and actually seal around the window, so rain was
just woring.

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
Is what a great memory of Grayhoun.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
I also almost just had a heart attack because I
could not find our episodes that we recorded earlier in
the year that were were saving remembered. It's because we
did them virtually and they're on the platform we used.

Speaker 4 (01:08:16):
There's a movie he did that's also an Apple where
he's like has a friend Robot, Yeah, I like that one.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Finch Finch, Yeah, I never saw that one.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
I like that one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
I love News of the World. News of the World
was a really underrated movie.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
Some older ones of his that don't get much love anymore.
Is the Money Pits. Yeah, and then Nothing in Common
that he did with Jackie Gleeson.

Speaker 4 (01:08:39):
Oh yeah, but see some of those I hadn't seen too,
because I feel like people probably listen to this and
think big and splash, like people would probably think of those.
But he's just I mean, you're talking about spill, I mean,
what are I can't imagine Tom Hanks looking at his
filmography and being like, yeah, I did all that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
Real well has written some short stories too.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Yeah, yeah, I've got I've got one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
I asked my wife, like, like, would be your four
and she just said Sleepless and Seattle, Sleepless and Seattle
Sleepless and Seattle. You got mail.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
That's an example to me of like, it's not like
a I don't want to say it's not a memorable
Tom Hanks character, but I don't like it doesn't really
stand out from his other characters.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
Not necessarily agree, No, I I totally agree with that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
But I wanted to look at like distinct characters.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
Well, and when I went through it was kind of like, okay,
like to me those four which is and honestly, if
I could squeeze in the Toy story movies, because I
just don't think these movie characters don't exist without this
man playing them, Like, I don't think you switch out.
Forrest Gump wrote a perdition castaway and are you for

(01:10:00):
got the other one I've said, But I mean, honestly,
like Apollo thirteen, Oh, saving Private Ryan's a big one,
but like Apollo thirteen is one I just don't think Philadelphia.
I thought about that too, with him in Philadelphia. Yeah,
and so yeah, man, I mean I liked the question.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Did he go back to back Academy Awards?

Speaker 4 (01:10:25):
Yeah, you sure did, and I don't think that'll ever
happen again.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
And one we didn't mention, which I'm shocked because I
think we both the three of us enjoyed the film.
I think was Colonel Tom Parker Parker, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Yeah, yeah, that would have been a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
That was.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Yeah, that's a distinct character.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
Very distinct.

Speaker 4 (01:10:45):
I think one of my least favorite of his is
when he did The Lady Killers.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
Oh, that movie was not good, and that's a remake.

Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
And that's knowing that I think it's a Cohen Brothers. Yeah,
so I didn't really get into that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
A lot of people forget he played Walt Disney.

Speaker 4 (01:10:58):
Yeahs basic yeah, uh, but you just can't get like
there are some titles and characters and maybe it's just
the way you kind of hold the film in regard
as you can't like, you don't get to those other
really good ones because he's got there's just some that,
like I said, part of cinema history.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
Like I love the Da Vinci Code, but then I.

Speaker 4 (01:11:22):
Love his hair in the Da Vinci Code, but.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
Then I hated Angels and Demons.

Speaker 4 (01:11:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
I don't think I ever watched Angels and Demons. And
I don't think the third one.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
Was there a third one?

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
Yeah, crap, I can't remember it now.

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
That I'm not aware of it. There was a third one?

Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
Well, you know he did a movie with Emma Watson
called The Circle.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Yep, oh, a man called Auto. I think we have
a review of that.

Speaker 4 (01:11:48):
Over yea, it is.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
Captain Phillips.

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
That's another one. I kind of thought, because I thought
when he played solely too. But I love Captain Phillips.
I remember being borderline piss that he didn't get nominated
for Best Actor. He deserved that nomination for Captain Phillips.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Inferno De Bank Your Code.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
I never saw that one.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
I think that one's the one that had you and
McGregor in it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
I think we can all agree his most underrated performance
of all time character of all time is David S. Pumpkins.

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's that's a good way to end this.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
Yeah, let's do that, guys. It's how I wish it
was still Halloween season, but it's holiday season. Tell these
fine folks where they can find you on these internet
streets if they want to wish you a happy holiday.
