- 1:36out for me a little bit? Really explained bit? All right? Okay,
- 1:45didn't beat around the bush, which I guess that's about right. Okay,
- 1:51there won't be much to beat around anymore. Well, that's always been
- 1:53true. No, No, I didn't mean it like that. I meant
- 1:57get it cool. Hey, buddy, what was the last movie you watched?
- 2:04The last movie I watched rob I went to the theater and we saw
- 2:07the Creator. Oh man, have you seen y? No, I haven't
- 2:14had a chance to go to the theater in a while. Yeah. The
- 2:16only reason I went is because someone made either Day or Post made reservations for
- 2:22us, and I was like, sweet, I'm in, but I do
- 2:23it. I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. So, yeah, this
- 2:28is the new movie. The guy who made Rogue one was also in charge
- 2:32of this. I'm looking for Gareth Edwards. Gareth, that's right. Yeah.
- 2:38He did like the most recent Godzilla too. That was kind of cool.
- 2:40Oh did he do that too? I did like that too. Yeah,
- 2:45this guy's good. This movie is really cool. It's very like stylized
- 2:50and fun, cool plot. It is like sci fi and stuff. So
- 2:55if that's not really your thing, you get that from the trailers, yeah,
- 3:00like they're not. They're not hiding that at all. But honestly,
- 3:04just like a really great movie that had even more like depth than I thought
- 3:08it would be. I didn't really know what to expect, and it was
- 3:12awesome. John David Washington is amazing. He's always good man. He's good
- 3:16in everything I've seen him. He's so good. There were a couple of
- 3:20points in this where it was just like whoa, Denzel, Like, well,
- 3:23like a couple of things said, maybes he gets older too, or
- 3:27I don't know, you know, I mean it's his dad, right,
- 3:29so like it'll sneak through, you know. But yeah, there was just
- 3:32a couple of times where I was like whoa. I really noticed it at
- 3:36that time. But the Yeah, the cast is is crazy. Alison Janney's
- 3:40in it. Oh my mouse stopped working. There we go. Jemma chan
- 3:47is in it, who has been in a bunch of stuff recently. Eternals.
- 3:51Yeah, Eternals. She's really great, really really great, and then
- 3:55Madeline unavoils or voyless, I don't know. I guess I'm not sure.
- 4:02Plays like the main character young Lady who it turns out like AI lady.
- 4:09Yeah, she's a little AI person and really great performance, very fun from
- 4:15her. It was really really awesome. So yeah, cool, I super
- 4:17liked it. I thought it was a compelling story and like really beautifully shot
- 4:23as well, of course, and yeah, I like all those all that
- 4:28Dude's movies, so I guess it just makes sense, but it was fun.
- 4:30I recommend it cool. I will check it out. How about you?
- 4:34What have you been watching? I watched a pretty great movie that I
- 4:38missed in twenty nineteen called The Peanut Butter Falcon. Oh you did? This
- 4:44is the Shia labuff One, right, Shila buff Yeah, so it's Shila,
- 4:48Dakota, Johnson, brews Den, Thomas Hayden Church. It's about a
- 4:54man who has down syndrome. He escapes from a nursing home to go and
- 4:59pursue his dream of becoming a pro wrestler COO, and he teams up with
- 5:03a troubled guy who's running away, and the movie kind of focuses on their
- 5:09friendship and I kind of loved it. Yeah, that's cool. It was
- 5:14really cool. It looked different and like sweet and like kind of interesting,
- 5:18you know, like a great all of those things. All of those things.
- 5:21I would absolutely say it is. I know Shila buff has kind of
- 5:25messed up and has a like made a bunch of bad decisions, and he's
- 5:29troublesome. He might be a great He is a tremendous actor. He was
- 5:35so good in This Man Nice and it's for the most part, a feel
- 5:41good buddy adventure movie. Oh cool, Okay, I'm I'm really glad.
- 5:45I finally got around to watching it. It's got a ninety five from critics
- 5:49and then ninety six from audiences, so damn definitely not in the minority.
- 5:55Wow, I didn't know it was that well loved. That's great. Yeah,
- 5:59So if if you thought like, oh, this looks interesting, watch
- 6:02it because it's worth it. I felt really good about it. I did
- 6:05think that, and now I'm very interested watching it. Dakna Johnson has been
- 6:11so good in the last aside from the thing that brought her to stardom,
- 6:18that's fair. I feel like she's made great decisions aside from that, which
- 6:23I never saw and honest me, neither. I mean, how do you
- 6:26say? No? Right? I mean you got it for sure? But
- 6:31that is that is I bet she hates that. That's in her her repertoire,
- 6:36now you know a little bit. I bet her pocket book doesn't hate
- 6:41it's that's from or maybe bank account is what you say. I don't know
- 6:46if you're not a book my pocket book? Yeah, in my date,
- 6:55So yeah, check it out. I don't remember what I watched it on.
- 6:57It might have been Apple, I'm not sure, but it's worth a
- 7:00watch. Speaking of the streaming devices, yeah, you even streaming anything?
- 7:05Fun? I streamed a movie and I guess I have a little bit of
- 7:09a AI kind of theme today because I watched a movie called Robots. It's
- 7:15from this year, and I don't know if you've ever heard of it.
- 7:19Have you ever heard of this movie? It was a Pixar movie. No,
- 7:26No, this is Robots is live action. It's got Shyleen Woodley or
- 7:30Shalen Woodley, shan Jack Whitehall, who I like sort of recognized but also
- 7:38didn't really recognize. Okay, it's interesting. It's a super interesting film.
- 7:44I think it was on Prime, I believe, uh and probably just went
- 7:47straight there. Being said it's from this year. I don't remember seeing it
- 7:50in the theater, but anyway, uh these It's set in the future when
- 7:56AI exists and these two folks have basically they have had someone make AI duplicates
- 8:05of themselves, and they use them for sort of nefarious purposes. He uses
- 8:13them as because he's like a womanizer, and so he uses his to like
- 8:16go to work for him and then go on dates with ladies, and then
- 8:20he swaps in when it's time to get intimate. Oh man, what which
- 8:26is rough right but not great? Interesting? She does the opposite. She
- 8:31goes out with a bunch of like sugar daddies, and she will go with
- 8:35them when they're like buying her things, and then when it comes time to
- 8:39like hook up because they're dating, she sends a robot's yeah, and these
- 8:46robots they get lined up with each other and hilarity ensues from there. It's
- 8:54interesting. It's a way better movie than even that synopsis sounds like. And
- 8:58I think that synopsis is pretty interesting by itself, but it's it's super super
- 9:01good. I think both of the actors were great, and I think it
- 9:05deals it you know, it is a rom com, but it deals with
- 9:09it in a way we haven't seen before, you know, with that like
- 9:13sci fi tilt to it. And I really had a nice time. I
- 9:16thought they were both awesome and it was super enjoyable and felt felt pretty fresh.
- 9:22And that's coming from a guy who's watched you know, a thousand rom
- 9:26coms or whatever, right, yes, well probably more than that, yes,
- 9:28probably, Yeah, I mean a thousand, probably just for Kate and
- 9:31Leopold, you know, so yeah, if we're just talking watches, wow,
- 9:35yeah, right right, nice. But I really liked it. I
- 9:39suggested it's it's like ninety three minutes, I think, and you're in,
- 9:43you're out, you're on with your day, and it's it was really fun.
- 9:46I really liked it a lot. So check it out if that sounds
- 9:50interesting for other people looking up robots. There was an animated movie called Robots,
- 9:54but it was back in two thousand and five. Yeah. When you
- 9:56said that, I was like, oh my god, you're right. I
- 9:58don't think i've I saw that one though I didn't either. I think it's
- 10:01uh, dream works, it's not picture. How did they get around that?
- 10:05If they have the exact same name, there's I think there are some
- 10:09movies. Yeah, and it's not you know, because it is different.
- 10:13This is a live action movie and we're going to mix us up. Who
- 10:18cares, let's way for it or whatever. Yeah, yeah, you're right,
- 10:20okay, but cool, interesting, I'll check that out. Yeah,
- 10:22it was fun. It was fun. It'd be a great Plaine movie or
- 10:26whatever, right, because yeah, you know, pretty short and just lighthearted.
- 10:28Great. Sure, yeah, how about you? What even story?
- 10:33I got her onto watching a series that you've recommended in the past, okay
- 10:37called Patriot on Prime. Oh, you did what I did. So I
- 10:43watched the first season while I was in Europe, which was kind of interesting
- 10:48since it's based on an American in Europe. So that was fun, very
- 10:54different show. Haven't seen many shows like this. It's weird, right,
- 10:58It's really weird. So it's like an undercover agent. He starts working for
- 11:03this drilling company like that travels to certain parts of the world so that it
- 11:09can help his mission, and he has to like pull off being knowledgeable in
- 11:15this field this like drilling company, which is interesting, and all the while
- 11:20he's going through some like mental health issues and everything that can go wrong goes
- 11:26wrong. It was a lot, dude, So I found myself kind of
- 11:31stressed out. But also it was kind of like funny, such a weird
- 11:37combination of those two things. Because I'm with you, it's not like an
- 11:39easy watch. But also it's really funny at times. Yeah, it's a
- 11:45very weird tone. I don't even really know how to explain it's fun.
- 11:48But I was not familiar with the lead, Michael Dorman. He's pretty great
- 11:54in this. I saw that he's since then been the lead in a couple
- 11:58other shows, one that's currently on Paramount Plus called Like It's Somebody's name Pickett
- 12:03maybe Joe Pickett, Okay, anyway, kind of a mysterious vibe to him,
- 12:09but I liked it. The only people I recognized in the show were
- 12:13kurtwood Smith, who's the dad from that seventy show. Yeah, he's really
- 12:18good in this, And Terry O'Quinn, who we all know is John Locke
- 12:22from Lost, Yes, and Gill Bellows from Ally McBeal or his very small
- 12:28role in Shaw Shank, which I've seen a thousand times. Gotcha, Ye,
- 12:33it was an interesting show. You met the Michael Chernis character yet,
- 12:39Yes, yes, a little bit. Yes, So I've seen him in
- 12:41different things, and I don't know. He's a fun dude. I really
- 12:46like his character in the show. He's super fun. In Separance, did
- 12:48you ever watch that? Yeah? I did watch Severance. Who's he in
- 12:52Severn? He's like the brother that has the book or whatever. They go
- 12:56to his house and right, yes, brother in law. I guess,
- 13:00of sure, the man dude. But he's just such a weirdo. I
- 13:03love that guy. Yes, I liked him in the show a lot.
- 13:07Yeah, yeah, but interesting show. It dragged in some spots for me,
- 13:09which has made it so that I haven't like jumped at watching season two,
- 13:13but I definitely will do that at some point. I think they're done
- 13:16with it after season two. Yeah, there, but it's worth watching through
- 13:22season two because there's they do a pretty good job of like encapsulating it so
- 13:26like it doesn't feel like you're totally left hanging, you know if that makes
- 13:31sense totally, because sometimes that's a bumber. Yeah it is. Yeah,
- 13:37but that was fun and that's fun prime very cool, very cool. Well,
- 13:39let's not leave them, Hagen, Let's do some plug shall wait,

- 16:26I love Wilson. Have you ever seen his full face? Yes? No,
- 16:32I just saw it on Instagram and it was terrifying weird. He went
- 16:36full frontal huh now that I've seen, But he did the last his porn
- 16:44career earlier. Yeah, would be smart with that character. Absolutely, he
- 16:51tried to do a straight one and it was mending fences. Okay, great,
- 16:55I don't know, come on, I didn't say any of them.
- 16:59We're going to be good. I don't know. So weird, But that
- 17:03joke, right there is a great example of why we need to support public
- 17:07education, which is what we want to plug. Let's get people to be
- 17:11smarter than I am, so let's let's fund those schools. Let's have a
- 17:15nice time. We are in favor of public education, yeah, and here
- 17:22so we are. Yeah, that's why we're plalking today. But shall we
- 17:26get started and start talking some daist, unconfioist. Yes, why should we
- 17:30excited for this? Oh? Me too? Me too? Rob? Will
- 17:33you get us started with just a rough synopsis? Sure? This coming of
- 17:38age film follows the mayhem of group of rowdy teenagers in Austin, Texas.
- 17:45Celebrating the last day of high school in nineteen seventy six. The graduating class
- 17:49heads for a popular pool hall and joins an impromptu keg party. However,
- 17:53star football player Randall pink Floyd has promised to focus on the championship game in
- 17:57abstain from party. Meanwhile, the incoming freshman try to avoid being hazed by
- 18:03the seniors, most notably the sadistic bully Fred Obanyon. That's it, That's
- 18:11all I got. Oh, okay, right, there's more than that.
- 18:15But yeah, that's Google has for anyone else confused about the matriculation data,
- 18:22because at at some point they acted like they were final days of high school,
- 18:26goodbye. Other points they were like, hey, we are juniors,
- 18:33yea, rolling into summer before our senior year. I was confused by that.
- 18:38I'm with you. Yeah, yeah, No, I got that vibe
- 18:41too. Were you dazed by that? I wasn't confused? Absolutely, I
- 18:48think it was because they played schools out for summer, and then I was
- 18:52like, really three I don't know right. I was also doing some math
- 18:57on like some of the more romantic opponents to do a quick like who's eighteen?
- 19:03Who's not? Oh right? Do yeah? I would guess yeah.
- 19:10The first couple I was like, well, let's just let's not yeah that,
- 19:14yeah, what's the seventies? But if they're all going into senior year,
- 19:18nobody's eighteen or you know, very few of them are eighteen. Some
- 19:23people were eighteen, right, Rob, you were probably eighteen. Nope,
- 19:27No, I wasn't eighteen when I graduated. One of them was held back.
- 19:30They said, right, okay, well one that was fred O'Banion and
- 19:34then we know met math. Matthew McConaughey's character was already graduated. Yeah,
- 19:41that was very year. Yeah, but was Anthony Rapp? Was it his
- 19:45last year? Because he was kind of macking on the freshman. That was
- 19:49the weirdest one. I felt like, is that the blonde guy? The
- 19:52blonde guy? Yeah, yeah, I'm hope again that was actually the one
- 19:56that triggered the math. I'm hoping yeah, was a rising senior is what
- 20:03relative? Yeah? Yeah, okay, So like he's a nerd, it's
- 20:08fine, don't worry about it. It's fine, right, he's underdeveloped anyhow.
- 20:15Yeah, okay, so we've gotten that out of the way. I
- 20:18just wanted, you know, I'd like to do a little bit of math
- 20:19every day. So that was my oh n, that was my exercise right
- 20:23there. So thank you. I don't feel that way. But let's go
- 20:27to Rotten Tomatoes and hear what math they've done and critics have. That's coming
- 20:32in at just a rock solid ninety Wow, that is fresh. This is
- 20:38very hot. An audience members surprisingly just a little bit below that, but
- 20:42still very high at ninety percent. Yeah, this is a beloved film.
- 20:48I didn't know it was that beloved by everyone. That's pretty wild. And
- 20:52I knew it was pretty beloved, and I want to discuss why it's so
- 20:56beloved. Oh, I'm just curious. But we'll get into that. Maybe
- 21:00we'll do it after we each give our hot take hot takes. Oh gee,
- 21:06spicy, Wow, that's a hot take. That's a hot take.
- 21:11I burned it. Oh it was Those get longer every time and I love
- 21:18it. We'll never get old to me. A No, she didn't say
- 21:22that I will go first here. I like this movie a great deal.
- 21:27I feel like less than ninety three percent, but I had a great time
- 21:32rewatching this. It's always been pretty revered. I feel like this movie like
- 21:37really brought nostalgia back for kids back when we were in high school, Like,
- 21:42all of a sudden, it felt like everyone wanted to be from the
- 21:45seventies and stuff, which is kind of fun. Such great music in it.
- 21:51It's just a blast, Like the tunes are all fantastic. I really
- 21:55like it. I identified, and I feel like Jesse might be the only
- 21:57other one that identified. But the like partying in the woods slash a field,
- 22:03I was like, that was my high school. Yep, right,
- 22:06I'm in on that, and just yeah, just that's not what you did,
- 22:11Rob, No, we had basements in the cities. Wow they flo
- 22:18under your first floor? Yep, well crazy, I don't follow, But
- 22:25yeah, I thought this movie was pretty pretty fun. I was worried on
- 22:30the rewatch that it was going to be really tough in the light of current
- 22:33day, and it was as bad as I sort of thought it might be.
- 22:40I mean, the hazing stuff is all awful, and obviously the problem
- 22:45with hazing can I just say one problem with hazing? No, there's always
- 22:52an obanion guy that just takes it too far, and it's just like,
- 22:56dude, calm the hell down. And also all I could think the whole
- 23:02time was like I would have I would have punched every single person that came
- 23:07out for me. With one of those, I would have lost. I'm
- 23:08not saying I would have won, but I would have been like, the
- 23:12hell you're touching me with anything, I will kill you. I will die
- 23:17before because that's just that like authority slash weirdness never worked for me, So
- 23:25that would have been tough. But the movie's really fun. It's it's an
- 23:29interesting look at these people and their lives. You don't see a lot of
- 23:32like evolution from the characters necessarily, but it's it is interesting to get it,
- 23:40and I did find myself having a nice time rewatching it. I thought
- 23:42parts of it were funny, and then there were parts where I was just
- 23:45like I hate that dude or cal or whatever, right like, and just
- 23:52the it was kind of interesting to try and see them be like, we
- 23:56know, hazing's not great, but also you know, in its best light,
- 24:00it can be kind of lovely. And people can can be nice about
- 24:03it, and I was like, or you could just be nice. I
- 24:04don't know. But the hazing aside, I think it's a pretty fun movie
- 24:10with some some good stuff and some good performances in it. I kept it
- 24:14the thumbs up hot take Buddy, I don't know. I didn't lukewarm take
- 24:19Buddy. So this is one of those movies that I've seen a whole bunch.
- 24:29I watched it many times when I was in high school. It's written
- 24:33and directed by Richard link Later, and we just did another one of his
- 24:36movies, School of Rock, which is maybe my favorite one of his.
- 24:40Yeah, absolutely, But he writes in directs interesting movies, and he doesn't
- 24:44settle on a particular genre. You never know when it's Richard link Later,
- 24:48which I like. This one isn't super plot driven. It's more character driven
- 24:53and does a really great job of giving us this snapshot of a va very
- 25:00specific point in time, and I think that's why it's so beloved. It's
- 25:03like it brings you right back to the last day of school and you remember
- 25:08how you feel back then. There's always so much hope for the summer.
- 25:12You're very excited, and I feel like he really tapped into that really well.
- 25:18He gives us all those iconic rock songs, like you said, Alice
- 25:22Cooper Wore, Aerosmith, Bob Dylan fog Hat, so many great songs.
- 25:27The cast is crazy, and it was the debut of Matthew McConaughey and Adam
- 25:33Goldberg. It's one of Ben Affleck's first films, as well as Joey Lorn,
- 25:37Adams, Mila Jovovich, Anthony Rapp, Parker Posey. It's crazy,
- 25:42It's just nuts. And I just learned today looking up some of the actors
- 25:49that Cynthia, who plays the Redhead with Anthony Rapp and Adam Goldberg, is
- 25:55the fraternal twin of Giovanni Ribisi. What Oh, I did not see that,
- 26:00Marissa Rabisi. I did not know that until this very day. So
- 26:04that was kind of fun little tidbit. But it was just fun seeing all
- 26:08these people so young. Yeah, all that stuff didn't age well. The
- 26:14hazing obviously, and just how the men treated the women in general is is
- 26:21pretty creepy, especially Matthew McConaughey, so not you know, it doesn't age
- 26:25well in that sense, but like I know, plenty of yeah, yeah,
- 26:34but I hadn't watched it in a long time. It was very fun
- 26:37to rewatch my hot take. Wiley Wiggins, who plays Mitch, gives one
- 26:41of the cringiest acting performances ever. The move yes expelcifically the bridge. It's
- 26:56so cringey every time, and I'm just like, we couldn't get that kid
- 27:00to not touch the bridge of his nose. There's actually, uh about it?
- 27:07Well, you're reading about it. I feel like I barely noticed it.
- 27:10What does that say? It SAME's twenty two times in that scene where
- 27:18he talks to the other freshman Gal, he touches his nose like twenty one
- 27:22or twenty two times. I don't think I wrote it down, but it
- 27:25was. Yes, he does that constantly. He's just like funny. I
- 27:29was like, oh, why wait, you told him take it easy.
- 27:34In a film where so many of these young actors are doing a great job,
- 27:40he really sticks out and it's a bummer and he's one of the main
- 27:44characters. So it's just like, that's my hottest I love that. That's
- 27:49a great hot take, Buddy, is a good hot take. Ye work
- 27:53was noticeably painful. I'm disappointed to myself. I like it. I'm glad
- 27:59you there. You chose, you chose it chose to well, Jesse,
- 28:04why don't you go next? All right, guys, who my hot take
- 28:07is? I was extremely underwhelmed. Oh before I know I have seen it
- 28:14before and so no, but I so, I guess what I have to
- 28:18say is if I were rating it, it would be above. But I
- 28:25because I love I love no no, no, but lit'sten, hear me
- 28:26up? I love so. I'm a fan of link later. I love
- 28:30the aesthetic. I thought it nailed it and somebody not being from Texas but
- 28:33like small town even early hots two thousands, all that way they talked to
- 28:37women, all stuff very familiar, like it was all very I mean he
- 28:44put you there, like you said, it was so familiar, so well
- 28:47done. I feel like you could you know characters in your school who were
- 28:51similar to that, Like totally, it was so well done. But I
- 28:55think I was just underwhelmed by I get the point, you know, wanting
- 28:59it to be high school end of the year, all this stuff. But
- 29:03I think I just it was like forty five minutes in and I'm like,
- 29:04we're still trying to kick the all these kids. I'm like that and like
- 29:10you said, it's not super flat driven, but that just felt that that's
- 29:14the part that I'm We're still hunting them, and I think I just kind
- 29:18of wanted I don't know, and I was disappointed that I felt that way
- 29:21at the end. But I'm like, I'm underwhelmed, and I think for
- 29:25me, it's one of those movies that's more fun for me to talk about
- 29:27and reference than actually watch. I feel like I had a couple. The
- 29:32only other one that pops into my head when I say that is like Napoleon
- 29:34Dynamo. I remember that was like the biggest thing, and I know,
- 29:38and we all wanted to watch it. We'd always try to watch it and
- 29:41I was like this, I hate this, But then I'd quote it.
- 29:44You'd be quoting it all over the place. I'm so glad that somebody else
- 29:47said it, because I never liked that movie, and like everybody I know
- 29:52loves it, so I didn't like it. You can quote it and that's
- 29:57just it, and like the reference and I'm here for all like the seventies
- 30:02just look of it. But no, I just I kept I kept kind
- 30:06of wanting to feel. I don't know. I don't even know what I
- 30:08wanted to feel about it. But I know I felt like that's a disappointing
- 30:12comment because it is a beloved movie, I think, or maybe I went
- 30:15in with to I have an expectation. But that's the thing too. But
- 30:19your reactions, your reactions a lot of times, yeah, I get that
- 30:25a lot of times when it is just a character driven movie and there's not
- 30:29like a lot moving the story. I definitely can feel that way. This
- 30:32is just one of those movies that I have all that nostalgica because I have
- 30:34seen it so many times. But I definitely I get where you're coming from
- 30:38for sure. And then my only other awkward visual thing was the freshman boy,
- 30:45I forget his name for some reason, with the thin he always had
- 30:48a piece of hair and I just wanted him to put a little hairspraar or
- 30:51something. And then we just we just can we just let's just give him
- 30:56a barett yeah something, Just put it in your ear, that's all.
- 30:59But yeah, yeah, nice, I that was so hot. It was
- 31:04hot, so hot. Yeah, real quick on this is not a hot
- 31:10take, but really quick on. The freshman group of boys, Carl Burnett
- 31:17was the blonde with the stripey pants and he's played by Esteban Powell, which
- 31:25blows my mind. He looks like he should be in seven to seven.
- 31:29That's not a hot take. Yeah, he looks like he looks like one
- 31:33of those family kids. Yeah. So I I definitely hardcore identify with everything
- 31:42that small town experience of partying you guys mentioned. Had I been invited to
- 31:49those parties. I mean that was like go out and drink in a field
- 31:56around a gas well kind of kind of thing. Yes, it's like picture
- 32:05farmland feel, and there's the big green tankard thing with We live on the
- 32:13Marcella's shale deposit in western Pennsylvania, so big gas well situation. So I
- 32:22also think that I was I had two hot takes that were kind of running
- 32:27in my head as I was watching one. I had a website up that
- 32:30was not IMDb that showed the character then and the actor now, just because
- 32:37there was so many just sure amazingly famous careers started out of that movie,
- 32:44so I wanted to like just cross reference and make sure even Brian didn't believe
- 32:49that that was Ben Affleck for two seconds, right, But like I saw
- 32:58a lot of the people, the actors in the in the characters like Ben
- 33:04Affleck is either an amazing actor hashtag superman not true and is the best like
- 33:10most able to show dynamicism and vehemence in wanting to track down these freshman butts
- 33:17to be he actually was like real into it. It just seemed like he
- 33:23was seething for when he first his one of his first couple of scenes,
- 33:29it was just like, frothy, I know you're not that good of an
- 33:31actor. You're too excited about that. And he can tap into his anger
- 33:37for sure. Yeah. And then Parker Posey, who I have heard from
- 33:45a friend of a friend maybe you know twice removed that she's actually really sweet,
- 33:51but I feel like seeing her and best in show seeing her, she
- 33:59can happen into some scary seward stuff. That is just you sometimes say that
- 34:07if you are like a genuinely good person, you can't It's I don't like
- 34:10that kind of works because if you were mean, then you don't. I
- 34:14don't know, maybe harder because you're trying to act. Yeah, Jesus,
- 34:21Like both of them were just like I just saw like frothy mouths at like
- 34:23getting back at these first year freshman students like oh, yead okay, And
- 34:30the second hot take was I was just thinking the whole time, man,
- 34:35And we grew up arguably without social media, without a lot of photography,
- 34:39like we're all taking those cute A cameras out to but like when we were
- 34:45young young, I just was thinking about, like, you know, it's
- 34:49easy to romanticize a time that we don't have actual documentation of in regards to
- 34:55the you know, just mundane modernity of high school day, right, because
- 35:01it is so romantic, right, It's like, oh, yeah, you
- 35:05and all your buds show up with a hundred of your other buds and get
- 35:09just blackout drunk together and maybe you fight, maybe don't in this you know,
- 35:16woodsy area, and then you go to your football like it just it
- 35:19seems so romantic of the seventies. A lot of I told Brian is that
- 35:25a lot of my mom's stories about her experience in high school, like when
- 35:30she was driving a Chevy SS and rip the transmission out from driving too fast,
- 35:35Like it seemed like maybe my mom lived a wild life of days and
- 35:38confused. I have to ask her about that. But I was just thinking
- 35:43like, oh man, what would this be like, you know, like
- 35:45how are are kids different now growing up and going through high school and then
- 35:50thinking about my college kids, Like, it's just so different for them because
- 35:55that is recorded or parodied or captured. Those are my hot takes. They
- 36:01were more sociological hot takes, but very hot, very hot. And also
- 36:07the last hot take is that is one day the movie is just like and
- 36:14it's not one day, it's like the afternoon and then like that that was
- 36:21to me. Okay, I like that. I love that hot takes,
- 36:27very hot smoking. Uh well, let's go into some of our our favorite
- 36:31acting performances here. Let's name the dude the dude. I'm the dude,
- 36:37so that's what you call me, you know that or his dude or duder
- 36:45or you know el dud a reno if you're not into the whole brevity thing,
- 36:49ladies, who wants to go first and name the dude? Okay,
- 36:54there we go, here we go. Okay. Is the dude always positive?
- 37:01Because this always, this is always this is just who you think was
- 37:07the best, who gave the best acting performance, So the one that stuck
- 37:10with you the most, So if they made you hate them because of their
- 37:15performance, then yeah, absolutely, good point. It's got to be Matthew
- 37:19McConaughey for me. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, that's I mean
- 37:24the all right, all right, all right, Like that's wild that that
- 37:28has made it through the nineties, the early two thousands, the teens,
- 37:32and now twenty twenty three. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean all most of
- 37:37my quotes come from him, so absolutely I get that. Good. That's
- 37:40a great pick still, but yeah, yeah, he was great also,
- 37:46like loves his car in a way that I know that guy from my home.
- 37:52Oh yeah, yeah, you know that guy. Yeah, And he
- 37:54was just the guy that wants to like, you know, missus the Glory
- 37:59days, wants to hang out with high schoolers to feel cool because real life
- 38:02is not as fun. Love to come to Stots Music Center to chat up
- 38:07the retail employee that worked there and sold guitars. So I know that guy.
- 38:12God, you definitely do. Yeah, his name is Gil And yeah,
- 38:19social security never is very relatable. That's a great pick, Jesse,
- 38:25who you got the dude. I was also leaning towards Matthew McConaughey just because
- 38:30yeah, he's unforgettable. People still quote him. I feel like his his
- 38:35character's face is on shirts with the quote like that's the part. Like his
- 38:39whole thing is memorable and like, yeah, it stands the test of time.
- 38:45But because I'm kind of basic about this, I am choosing Jason Lund
- 38:47because I think he's dreamy and I think it was nailed his like popular but
- 38:53like laid back, like don't care character, and I'm I'm a fan of
- 38:59him. I just automatically was like, oh, he's so great, and
- 39:06I just like so, I mean, nothing super intelligent to say about him.
- 39:09I just like, really like this character. I thought he was charming.
- 39:13I just thought he was hot. No, I I think that's charming.
- 39:20I'm not being qualified for this, but anyway, I qualified. I
- 39:24love. I was right there with you. I picked I picked him as
- 39:29well, and I really thought he was going to be like a big star
- 39:32after this and felt like he never really did anything at least as good as
- 39:37this ever. Yeahrats was that? Yes, it was the next year,
- 39:45next year ninety four. I think he did a bunch of movies to when
- 39:49I looked it up, but I'm like, I don't look he has very
- 39:52long yeah, yeah, everything, Oh god, that was a fun one.
- 39:58Yeah, but yeah, I thought he was an interesting character, and
- 40:02you know, He's in a position that everyone in his high school would have
- 40:07been very excited to be in the quarterback of the football team, but he's
- 40:12still just kind of about it and doesn't want to have to like play by
- 40:15the man's rules. Very privileged character, for sure, but I thought he
- 40:22played that really well. I thought it was fun, tormented with a good
- 40:25heart, right, and it's pretty privileged. Everyone wanted to make out with
- 40:30him. I also loved his whole just stand off with the creepy football coach
- 40:35because he's like whatever, like just so I was like, that's great,
- 40:38that's part of my coach. I thought my expectations for him were different because
- 40:45they kept calling him like his last name was obviously Floyd, and they kept
- 40:50calling him Pink Floyd, and I was like, yeah, and I've seen
- 40:52this movie before, but I remember thinking when I first thought he's gonna rock
- 40:55out, I get wild, and he was the most tanged Pink Floyd moniker.
- 41:01Yeah, he was just kind of a like a decent hang. It
- 41:08felt like he was just classmen, get out of here. Yeah, Rightfory
- 41:17complained about Pink Floyd, who what was the concert that they were trying to
- 41:21get to Aerosmith. Yeah, yeah, which is sweet, super sweet.
- 41:29Who did you pick? I had a really hard time with this one because
- 41:34totally there's so many characters it was hard to find someone that stood out,
- 41:38and I actually ended up I went with with our guy. Uh, I'm
- 41:45blanking on his name right now, Ben Affleck. Yeah, Ben Affleck,
- 41:51because I think he, like we said, really tapped into his anger in
- 41:57a very real way. And I also kind of went sociological Kate and I
- 42:04was like, well, this is really a good indication of how trauma can
- 42:07travel throughout generations gang because like, clearly this guy got the kicked out of
- 42:13him when he was younger, so now he wants to do that to everyone
- 42:17because of all these things. But yeah, I just thought he's detestable.
- 42:22But he was also like a super I mean, he was a cartoon version,
- 42:28right of a character that I've met in my life before, like a
- 42:31dude that wants to just like, he feels insecure about himself, so he
- 42:36wants to put other people down. He wants like this is the way he
- 42:38can demand respect. You know, part of that might be he did get
- 42:42held back, right, like, you know, all these things whatever,
- 42:45But I thought he did a great job. I don't like that character,
- 42:49but I thought he did a great job being him, and hopefully it was
- 42:54just great acting and not not a sign of his your brickling alcoholic father just
- 43:01beating for sure decades preceding that. If you look at it from a comedic
- 43:08lens, When they would show him like he's likeing and like laughing, I
- 43:15was, I'm like, this is so wild, and like you said,
- 43:19Kate was like foaming at the mouth, like rabid, like this is a
- 43:22wild character, like whatever. He made it so much more sweet though,
- 43:28when they got him and his reaction to being embarrassed was so wonderful. I
- 43:35love some crazy trivia about that will come up later. Okay, he was
- 43:40in this movie, Hold he was. That's a good question. I just
- 43:45think he was. So he likes to do math. I heard math it
- 43:49out if it's more than double digits tomorrow, Good Wie Hunt. Well this
- 43:57was before Good One Hunting, right, So I guess yes, definitely before.
- 44:00I just feel like so pretty young and to be like that, yeah,
- 44:01like we said, captain and like it was just yeah, So I
- 44:06feel I agree with you because I think that he's twenty one, right,
- 44:08I can't find he if you go on MDB. I had to scroll several
- 44:14times to get to him. So yeah, seventy one. Oh and that
- 44:17hair you love oldo. One thing that I saw was that he was,
- 44:24you know, this hateable character and he said that this movie did not help
- 44:29his career at all because he was the only hateable character in a movie filled
- 44:36with very likable characters and he couldn't get anything from this. It just really
- 44:40fossile had like you know, yeah, yeah, totally, yeah, yeah,
- 44:45I'm sure it wasn't those Can we talk really briefly about two things.
- 44:52One, if your trivia is about this, then we can skip it.
- 44:57What was that substance supposed to be? Was that paint? That's what I
- 45:01but yeah, I think so. It was very chunky, though I don't
- 45:05know. Yeah, it was really like thick, and I was just trying
- 45:07to figure out is it because they were also at a food place across the
- 45:10streets was so I think it was pat okay, But I agree it looked
- 45:17weird. Yeah, I was trying to figure out because Yeah, anyhow,
- 45:21the other piece that we maybe should have mentioned before this was just like that
- 45:23frothiness. It struck me as very getting excited about like spanking people struck a
- 45:36little like homo erotic BDSM, like these men were so excited to to like
- 45:44I don't know, and it was like, let me chap in. I
- 45:45was like, okay, this that like more than just it being amazing,
- 45:50It just I just I don't know. Well, we have to remember this
- 45:54was this was made by someone who you know, in their high school part
- 46:00if they're a big like artist person, they were probably more likely to be
- 46:04getting hit than hitting, so they may they may have characterized those guys extra
- 46:08bad right right and madeonish, which I think all of them, even the
- 46:14girl the like evil girls too, I think they were poonish. Yeah,
- 46:19and part of that was to like show that the other characters who, when
- 46:22they would show some decency, were cool and make us like them a little
- 46:25bit right like to But yeah, I agree, it's pretty wild. It's
- 46:30pretty wild. They were getting Yeah, they were. They were half staff
- 46:32for sure when they were doing that, at least a couple of them for
- 46:35sure. For sure. I love that. I didn't bring it up,
- 46:42guys, I just went with it. I love that. But this is
- 46:45an ensemble movie, of all ensemble movies, so let's name some of these
- 46:51other folks. Let's name the Tucci Jes. Let's have CAKEO again. I
- 46:59went first last time. Okay, let's have Jesse going. That's what I
- 47:01have to say. Mine goes to Parker Palsy. I get so sad when
- 47:07I see her, no matter what she plays. I just thought, and
- 47:12also like, she was so trash in this, but yet there's something about
- 47:16her delivery that I'm like, God, she's funny. Friend, hang,
- 47:23oh my god, I feel like I was watching this movie with so much
- 47:27of like like unless they were actually hitting them. I was like, this
- 47:30is so it's funny to me because I get that it's very real, but
- 47:35I just found her so funny and like because then when she had all the
- 47:38girls like sit laying on the ground, what she kept saying I can't remember,
- 47:42but and then she would be like you like saying these horrible words like
- 47:45sloat what, and like I wouldn't even think of like creative mean things to
- 47:50say. She just kept like saying stupid same words like insults, and she
- 47:52made her sound even more stupid. And I, God, that's funny.
- 47:57I like the ba Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes, I
- 48:04mean it's horrible, but then it's I just found it so funny, like
- 48:07bacon on the parking lot, and I was like, oh, I bet
- 48:13that I would love We don't have to do this now, but I would
- 48:17love to have a discussion if your schools did to have any hazing, because
- 48:21my school had mild hazing and I somehow dodged. And I okay, again,
- 48:27I may not have been popular enough to be well, we were small
- 48:30bubes, but I thinks, like weirdly still kind of like remember the teacher
- 48:37was like like when they were out this window of the middle schoolers, they're
- 48:40like threatening them, the teachers laughing. I was like, stuff happened in
- 48:44our school, but we just see what was it? So the girls I
- 48:49dadged it. I don't I could have been because I played sports with the
- 48:51girls, or my mom was my mom was a teacher, uh whatever,
- 48:58dark total narc but no. So one of the it was the like senior
- 49:07week or whatever, where the seniors are gone and the juniors are now the
- 49:09seniors, and there's this group of girls and they made T shirts for selected
- 49:15freshman girls and they all had like horrible like mean things on them, like
- 49:19nicknames O referencing like appearance things or things that were rumored to have happened.
- 49:28And they made these shirts like puffy paint, decked them out and they made
- 49:31them put it on. It's not all of the girls, just no,
- 49:36it was it was a selected few and then I think and then the girls
- 49:39just put it on. And then it was like slowly throughout the day,
- 49:43teachers were like take that off. But it wasn't like it was in the
- 49:46hallway like all of a sudden, it was before the school they started.
- 49:49They all come down the hallway and we're all just like standing against like you
- 49:52don't know who they're gonna like take the get to. And then there's a
- 49:55thing. I mean that's actually no, it is, And so I feel
- 50:00like that was still happening in two thousand and there two or whatever. So
- 50:06it's just like I'm just and I can't remember what the dudes got. I
- 50:08think there was some math, you know, light huh beating. Maybe I
- 50:14don't know, I was bedding beating, some light beating or girls would like
- 50:19check each other. Some of the senior girls would like, oh that happened
- 50:22the lockers, Yeah, that definitely happened. My school was weird because I
- 50:28you were considered a freshman when you were in seventh grade because that's when you
- 50:32went through the doorway to the that's scary, Okay, breakdown of like,
- 50:39did you guys have junior high school? I had junior high school? No
- 50:43middle school? Did you guys have middle school? Had? Sorry? Ours
- 50:46was called middle school. We had seventh and eighth and then we went to
- 50:50a different building for freshman through senior. Okay, what did you guys say?
- 50:55I had something that I haven't heard really anybody else have. I had
- 50:59seventh, eighth, and ninth me together. Okay, cool? So I
- 51:02really liked that. So then when I went to high school, I was
- 51:05in tenth grade. Ninth grade to twelfth grade, you're just little, yeah,
- 51:13being the seventh grade jump in mentality, I can't even imagine that.
- 51:20Well, we were k through twelve and one building, right, so like
- 51:22an elementary, we're in a different home. That was all it was.
- 51:27And my brother was My brother was a senior when I was a seventh grader.
- 51:34So the closest thing I can say is only there was like a couple
- 51:37of dudes that like would give me a hard time because they knew my brother.
- 51:42But my brother was not into that, so I think that was put
- 51:45the kiwash on that pretty quick. And the only one I can remember really
- 51:49doing anything was my cousin, who was also a senior at the time,
- 51:52and he did the like hip checked me into a locker and I basically put
- 51:55my books down and was like, Okay, I guess we're gonna fight,
- 51:58because that's gonna happening. And he was like, whoa, take it easy
- 52:01and I was like, no, I'm not having any of it. And
- 52:05I was like, you're going to kick my ass and that's fine, but
- 52:08it was kind of that same thing. I was just like, I don't
- 52:10want anything to do with this, so let's just get it over with.
- 52:14This is what's gonna happen. And he stopped because he was just like trying
- 52:17to be silly or whatever. Right, he wasn't actually trying to put me
- 52:22in my place or whatever. But yeah, so I don't know nothing like
- 52:24what you said, Jess, that's wild. I can't remember anything like this
- 52:30happened. I don't know. I was trying to think about that too,
- 52:32like you know, we had to do things in football, but it wasn't
- 52:35anything like that. Was like the friend Tory, the seniors helmets sometimes like
- 52:43to me, that's not anything. And I mean dudes were mean, but
- 52:46it usually pretty quick. Yeah, it was more bullied than like hazing.
- 52:54Yeah, like an organized front we behavior and there was no like body on
- 53:01that like bodily harm or anything or Yeah. I don't know, ye,
- 53:07not that I can remember anyway, Like you said, slam, I maybe
- 53:09I just wasn't involved because I was wasn't even cool enough to get believe.
- 53:15I will tell you though, had I come home covered in mustard and my
- 53:22ass would have been grass. So no, we did do something like oh
- 53:27people people used to prank each other's cars, and it was like it was
- 53:31a volleyball and football thing primarily. And there was one one time where we
- 53:37the ladies were gone, like it was a long road trip and we didn't
- 53:42have anything going on and it was bad. We totally trashed this girl,
- 53:45Tianna's car and actually made the mistake. That's where we learned duct tape.
- 53:50We'll pull up paint, so don't put duct tape on a card. And
- 53:53I remember our buddy doing it, and I was like, it seems like
- 53:57a bad idea. This is Luckily it was like a beat your car right,
- 54:00so it was nobody really complained, but like I bought a five gallon
- 54:06like can of Soauer Kraut and we put it on top of the car and
- 54:08it was it was so I guess we kind of did do that stuff.
- 54:13Okay, you why you were there when they when the bus came back,
- 54:17and then we helped her clean it off too, So like part of me
- 54:21is also like, but it wasn't maybe as bad as it could have been.
- 54:24I don't know. I was hoping this would just turn into like stories
- 54:28because I once got busted. It was a friend of mine, Andy Prievos.
- 54:31Maybe he's an Evidendorsman listener, but he he were like buddies and then
- 54:37I and then I was with another group and we're like, let's go to
- 54:42his house and we like decked his car fullish and his dad was in the
- 54:45kitchen watching us. And then that's what I feel like. His dad only
- 54:50told Andy that I was there. Maybe he told me the other ones,
- 54:52but then the whole family was like pissed at me, Oh yes, your
- 54:57friend, And I was like and one of the guys like a bucket of
- 55:00compost in the back and the parents. The next day we're like the compost.
- 55:05We're like, oh, we dumped it all over. We dumped it,
- 55:09and then they were threatening to come into and because I didn't have a
- 55:13car, was to dump it on my mom's car. My mom was like,
- 55:15day, you're so scary. But it was just all that, like
- 55:20all that back and forth. I remember that so well. Yeah. I
- 55:22think people also forked some people's lawns. I don't know if you guys ever
- 55:25heard what did you just say? Plastic forks? They called it forking along
- 55:31and they would buy like two hundred forks and just line them up and then
- 55:38much to do in ll like our big thing. One time, this was
- 55:45when I was back home for Christmas during college, was we went and bought
- 55:49Christmas cards and then as a prank, delivered them to random people's houses that
- 55:55you got them man from the warm and tingles. Yeah, it was so
- 56:02nice and we were like, we didn't mean it. We were just being
- 56:06you. I didn't mean it, idiot. We didn't throw other things at
- 56:10mailboxes, but I definitely know guys that will go around and paintball everything.
- 56:14Oh and then I had they had to be like you can you tell?
- 56:17You can you tell somebody that you were with us. I was like,
- 56:20I don't know, I'm not get involved in this. I just remember being
- 56:22like, yeah, that's a big deal. And they were just like driving
- 56:24around like paintball and everything, just like I was home watching that seventy show.
- 56:30I was sent to jail doing that. I mean it was a yeah,
- 56:35so im one of them. Have I told the story about the creamers
- 56:39have an endorsement? I don't, I don't. Can you elaborate on a
- 56:45little like non dairy creamer? Yeah, liquids? My mother would drive me
- 56:53and my friend around and let us hang out the window and those things and
- 57:00people's front doors silence right now, And I was so confused little liquid would
- 57:16they make that? And she's like, hey, you want to go?
- 57:21You want to go through some creamers and people that's hilarious back in the day.
- 57:30Pretty sure, that's yeah, gr mom, Sorry, Kurt, that's
- 57:37so funny. That's ridiculous. That is ridiculous because like what it's you're buying?
- 57:45Before there was balls were pilfering them from a local diner to just have
- 57:51them out. Brought a creamer again, that Miss Duncan was there again,
- 57:58wasn't you yep. Oh my god, that's very funny, and so I
- 58:06have never heard that story. People's doors. It'll be awesome. It's like
- 58:13the dirtiest way to try to be bad, so bad, that's great.
- 58:20There you go. A bit. We were talking about the tuc Chiese actors,
- 58:28so I guess I said, so you go for it. Okay,
- 58:34I don't know this person's name. I should have written this down. Go
- 58:37ahead. The gal that was had the thick blue eyeshadow and was like the
- 58:47chill junior that they were trying to link sister, right, Michelle Burke.
- 58:59Maybe just sister, like blonde hair. She's smoking weed with them, No,
- 59:06that's me. Well she was hanging on you're thinking Joey Lauren Adams probably.
- 59:12Oh does she have kind of a crazy crazy voice. She was also
- 59:16in Mall Rats. Mm hmmm, husky voice. Oh Doug, Yeah,
- 59:21it just said different. It's a it's like a voice I've never heard a
- 59:25wait. No, no, no, no, no, I kept calling
- 59:29her non Rene her. Yeah she was in Big Daddy. Yeah, no,
- 59:35no, no, she was in Big Daddy. Yes. Look it's
- 59:37the girl that had a big fan biodome going to reference it every time my
- 59:42mind. It was the girl that was like kind of on the outside.
- 59:47I know what you're talking about, but no one knows their name you're talking
- 59:52about. She was just super cool and chill and the young. She play
- 1:00:00the the guitar at one point because that was merely Jovivich. She was though,
- 1:00:06yeah, no, I'll get a screen shot and show you guys.
- 1:00:10But she was the one that was kind of chatting up our young first freshman
- 1:00:16kid. Why can't I remember anyone's name? The girl that he smooched Wiley
- 1:00:21Wiggins, Yes, the one that he was like hot to trap for.
- 1:00:23Okay, she was cool. I liked Yeah, she was just like I
- 1:00:29feel like I'd love to be friends with somebody that he's peasy. She just
- 1:00:35I just youre looking at She was just chilling out out sitting on the counter
- 1:00:42at the at the pin ball the game place, and I just liked her.
- 1:00:45I had good energy, good energy. Answer cool that rob who you
- 1:00:52have? I had? You know, I probably would have picked Matthew McConaughey
- 1:00:58or Ben Affleck just to say somebody else. Rory Cochrane is Ron Slater.
- 1:01:05So I was a big Empire Records fan. You were like that movie.
- 1:01:10Yes, yeah, same, and he was my favorite part of that movie,
- 1:01:15which is probably why I'm picking him from this. So he was the
- 1:01:19guy in this typical stoner. Very was very believe that's him. That's crazy.
- 1:01:29I know I'm looking at him right now and that like I can't put
- 1:01:32that. Great actor. Yeah, very very good actor. And he's he's
- 1:01:37stayed with it. He he comes up every once in a while, pretty
- 1:01:39big movies. Yeah, I've always I've always enjoyed him and liked him in
- 1:01:45this nice. I want to know. Sorry, it really made you that
- 1:01:52like like tweaky, almost like like you're on something else, because sometimes when
- 1:01:55you watch these older movies and it's like the Stoners, they're like yeah,
- 1:01:59man't know, like so twitchy, and I'm like twitch just on weed like
- 1:02:06it was cheap weed. Maybe I just think it's it's such a funny,
- 1:02:12like he does say a few times, like he talks about acid and stuff
- 1:02:15like that, so he may have I'm with you with you for sure.
- 1:02:22Nice. I love that. I picked Uh Michelle Burke, who I thought
- 1:02:28maybe Slam was talking about earlier, but she was in cone Heads back in
- 1:02:31the day, which I loved. Yeah, yeah, and I just I
- 1:02:37thought she was really great in this. She played Mitch's older sister, and
- 1:02:40she just she felt like she was kind of the cool one from the lady's
- 1:02:45side. She was the you know, basically, what was the dude's name
- 1:02:49that you picked, Jesse Jason London. She was kind of the the lady
- 1:02:52Jason London, you know of like the boys and gals. But yeah,
- 1:02:55so I picked her. I just thought she was really fun. Was it
- 1:03:00was interesting that she went and made out with Jason London and he like tried
- 1:03:05to go further and she was like, don't you have a girlfriend? I
- 1:03:07know what. The FS time I heard about Yeah, I loved it was
- 1:03:16right around that scene. This is not related, but the tucci's all go
- 1:03:20to these people that in the background or foreground of that wood scene, you
- 1:03:23just saw kids keeling over dead like they just got so drunk. And Parker
- 1:03:29Posey did this too. At some point. They were just like like just
- 1:03:31a hard fall and you could see it happening like in the background of the
- 1:03:36you know, the cast character. Everybody that did that gets a TUCCI from
- 1:03:42me. I love that. Also, Adam Goldberg, who I like a
- 1:03:45lot. I love him. I love him? Did he he did more
- 1:03:52directing after was was he like big actory or I remember he's been some big
- 1:03:58stuff? I mean saving Private Ryan? He was. That was a big
- 1:04:00deal in that one of Bugs's favorite rom coms ever with Matthew McConaughey. They
- 1:04:08got Yeah, they got to reunite. There wasn't he also The Hebrew Hammer?
- 1:04:13Was that hammer? Was that somebody else? No? That was somebody
- 1:04:15else? That movie was crazy, wasn't that? Are you talking about Glorious
- 1:04:19Bastards? Right? No, there's a movie called The Hebrew Hammer. Oh
- 1:04:25yeah, then maybe he was. I thought you were talking about the Eli
- 1:04:28Rod stuff. Super sure, it's great. I gotta sleep. It's him.
- 1:04:34It is Adam Goldberghs right there, you go check it out. It's
- 1:04:41really Yeah, he's great. He was fun in this. The other guy
- 1:04:46put down in another person. I haven't seen since this movie, but I
- 1:04:49thought he was so funny in this. His name was Sasha Jensen as Dawson.
- 1:04:56So he was the guy that was just completely yeah, just like wanted
- 1:05:00to have sex. That was the only thing on his mind. He was
- 1:05:03like the meter part from from So he's one of the football players. He
- 1:05:09is like yeah, the grown man. I thought he was very funny.
- 1:05:16I never saw him again after this heavy brow, very heavy brow. Yeah,
- 1:05:23he's on the teacher at one point, yes, but he is always
- 1:05:27what you said. It was like Parcity bruse. And then there's always like
- 1:05:30a Stifler type and I think type casting is so real, and you're like,
- 1:05:35dude, you are that, you are that guy? So I actually
- 1:05:39thought, and this is one of my long tangents where I never know anybody's
- 1:05:43name. I think the actor's first name is Bill or Billy. The movie
- 1:05:47Scrooged, Hey, when he is in like full torment, gets into a
- 1:05:54cab and the cab driver turns around and he's the ghost of of something.
- 1:06:00Wasn't that Bobcat? No, Bobcat was the disconntied employee with the rifle.
- 1:06:08I'll look at Scrooged. Yeah, I thought that the overall guy was somehow
- 1:06:15I don't know how time works. Was this this character? He was a
- 1:06:20character actor in a bunch of those type like Bill Murray movies. And I'm
- 1:06:25scrolling to see if I could figure him out. But the eyebrows or no
- 1:06:30timing wise it doesn't work out. That's where my math failed me for the
- 1:06:32day, for the day, for the day. I'll try amorrow. But
- 1:06:40yeah, he those eyebrows were so familiar to me, but he never did
- 1:06:44anything. I thought I knew that actor, and I don't the brows.
- 1:06:50I do love that. It's a long tangent for really nothing. But get
- 1:07:00Serbia. That was oh my god. The Timberwolves nice, also heavy brow.
- 1:07:09Yeah that's funny. I once followed him around Mall of America and he
- 1:07:14got weirded out another like I was like, man, just staring at him
- 1:07:19walking down well, I was like welve or something, and I was like,
- 1:07:24that's Wally's Erbia. Let's follow him around. It was six foot though
- 1:07:28at twelve. I was right. Yeah. I had two instances where I
- 1:07:38weirded out Minnesota sports people. I weirded out him and Rick Aguilera our old
- 1:07:45picture. I walked around for a while and he had to stop and be
- 1:07:48like, why are you following me? It was me and me and my
- 1:07:51buddy Timmy. Oh. I was like, we're fans. Thanks for winning
- 1:07:57the World Series. I have to stop stalking technically, see, because I'm
- 1:08:03sure all the hackling that Mike clam took was as well all right, we
- 1:08:12gotta keep this thing moving back. Thank you for the Mike Lamb reference.
- 1:08:15Let's go to the Dingus, you guys, let's pick our favorite scene is
- 1:08:24quite simple, really Dingus Dingus. I could talk about my Dingus all night
- 1:08:28long. I'm gonna kiss you dingas. Favorite scene go, Okay, I
- 1:08:31got I'm gonna say a couple say one the party. I just loved it.
- 1:08:43I lead you to the woods, in the woods, specifically in the
- 1:08:45woods, so like just all of it because again now see you again,
- 1:08:49I'm talking about it. I'm like this movie's right, yes, like my
- 1:08:56favorite movie. But literally, like even the down to the joke of like
- 1:09:00the cops are here and like these kids run up a hill and they're just
- 1:09:03literally have a memory of that happening. We're like, like nobody's there.
- 1:09:09That was in college. It was Halloween and I was wearing only underpants,
- 1:09:15just like people getting sloppy, mean girls, somebody's getting fresh in the woods,
- 1:09:19but people falling all over. But like it was just so everything looked
- 1:09:26yes, everywhere you looked at like this is so Corey g like it just
- 1:09:30yeah, it felt like you were in the woods in Trumpla Wisconsin and it
- 1:09:34was great. Yeah, I mean not great with what I reference, but
- 1:09:39like I thought it was so fun to watch. Yeah, and that guy
- 1:09:45who was in the fight, his name's Nikki Cat and he's been in quite
- 1:09:48a few things since that very familiar. Yeah that's cool. Yep, what
- 1:09:55do you have, Kate, like minds of piecemeal of every time they'd cut
- 1:09:58to the cars, So the cars, Yeah, all of the car scenes.
- 1:10:04That's a lot of what we did in high school was just drive around
- 1:10:10because there's nothing to do. Same. Yeah, the only time you have,
- 1:10:14you know, your own space, is when you have the car.
- 1:10:17So yeah, they were I felt like those were the truest moments of like
- 1:10:21little heartfelt confessions or like that moment when he says chiculator and then he gets
- 1:10:28made fun of, and like that is like you try to impress a cute
- 1:10:31girl or whatever and you say something stupid, And yeah, I just thought
- 1:10:36there were lots of like real moments there that didn't happen in the rest of
- 1:10:42the film. So I liked all of those little like talking heads cuts almost
- 1:10:45to the to the car experience. I love that, And I haven't really
- 1:10:49thought I lovedka and we would do that, and like I'd always heard that
- 1:11:01people, you know, like a group of guys would drive and then they'd
- 1:11:04stop, you know, a group of girls. I never got this ever
- 1:11:08happened. No, we just drove a lot and I was like, we're
- 1:11:14just going back, We're just driving. Anybody you want to talk over that?
- 1:11:17No, okay driving. We did it so much and I had fun
- 1:11:21doing it too, but like I loved it. There would be nights where
- 1:11:25that was like the only plan and I was just like, I don't want
- 1:11:28to do that. I don't Let's play video games, watch a movie.
- 1:11:33Road tripping. I love it. The Pervy. I loved all the trucks,
- 1:11:38specifically the black truck, but the Pervy. The Pervy football coach had
- 1:11:42the Bronco that I want, like one of those little contents. Yeah.
- 1:11:45I saw that and I was like, oh, Jesse's gonna I love him
- 1:11:48so much. Yeah. Now they're like at one hundred grand. But other
- 1:11:51than yeah, they're cool looking. Though. Came back. I picked It
- 1:12:00was hard because it's just it's it's tough to just narrow down one scene.
- 1:12:03But I think I got the most joy of seeing ben affleck out and getting
- 1:12:10doused with paint. That's a pretty good one. I really really enjoy how
- 1:12:14poudy he got during that, and he like breaks his paddles so mad.
- 1:12:18He was so mad, he's full of paint and just gets right into his
- 1:12:21car. He's in his car. Yep. I love to see that.
- 1:12:26No, so that might be my favorite. What do you got to Chunky?
- 1:12:30I'll never understand. I. I probably would pick the party scene as
- 1:12:36well, because, like Jesse said, that is very much the high school
- 1:12:42parties I went to were very similar to that for sure, at least a
- 1:12:45lot of them. But I'm also going to pick the baseball game. When
- 1:12:50they show up and they're hackling him at the baseball game. I actually really
- 1:12:55liked that scene a lot. That was really fun because they're like I also
- 1:13:00think about watching it as another, you know, someone else just spectating and
- 1:13:02being like, these guys are being really supportive of this kid. That's pretty
- 1:13:06nice. It was super funny. But and like his buddy's coming over and
- 1:13:14being like, hey, will you go out there because when we can get
- 1:13:16away, it's like you net rocked anyway, just allure them out. All
- 1:13:21those boys. I loved thinking about all the adults that would watch all of
- 1:13:27that happen, Like there were adults at that baseball game. There was a
- 1:13:30like a home not homemack, but like a wood shop teacher who watched that
- 1:13:34kid make that battle. There so many witnesses and like the mom with the
- 1:13:41rifle, like there were so many adults bearing witness to this. Going that
- 1:13:46was more like, I'm not into guns, but that was funny. When
- 1:13:50the mom pulls off the guess that's hilarious, I was like, measured response,
- 1:13:58measured response, yes, but yeah, I just like that scene.
- 1:14:01I thought it was pretty It was pretty fun, and I mean several things
- 1:14:06aside obviously bullying aside, it was compelling for sure. One of the other
- 1:14:14ones that I never really thought about back in the day but really enjoyed on
- 1:14:17this rewatch was her talking about the Gilligan's Island fantasy. Yes, so fun.
- 1:14:25I really enjoyed that. It felt like I was. It was something
- 1:14:28out of like a Tarantino movie. Great, how he'll just like take a
- 1:14:30pop culture reference like that and then like dive into like whatever the psychology behind
- 1:14:36it and stuff. I really enjoyed that. But it was fun. That
- 1:14:40was really good, and I liked how the delivery was like she had clearly
- 1:14:43been working on that, like she was thinking about that all day, and
- 1:14:45it was like, Hey, let me let me throw this at y'all.
- 1:14:49You guys can make of it. Yeah, totally yeah. Yeah. And
- 1:14:57then the football field scene at the end is just with the end, like
- 1:15:01the vibe of it more than anything that necessarily happens, and it feels very
- 1:15:05iconic to me. Yeah. As well, that high school had a lot
- 1:15:09of money even in the seventies or excess, so they had a lot of
- 1:15:13sports football teams. Yeah, not what our field looked like. Same,
- 1:15:17we didn't even have a field until my senior year. We had to use
- 1:15:21our rivals field's wild for like forty years until my senior year. Yeah,
- 1:15:30that's very funny. Yeah, but I would have chosen either the the party
- 1:15:38scene out in the woods or I also put down when McConaughey pulls up next
- 1:15:43to them. So I'm good with either one of those. Yeah, taking
- 1:15:45that for we just du let's do that. I love the kay, Yeah,
- 1:15:51well, dual ding love it. I love it. Well, then
- 1:15:55let's talk about some of the quotes. Yeah, show me the money.
- 1:16:10Okay, So this isn't it's not a good quote. It's the worst quote
- 1:16:15of the whole thing. Okay. The best part about them is they keep
- 1:16:23saying the same age, right, like that quote, that's what we all
- 1:16:26remember, and it's just so horrible. But also like again, that's that
- 1:16:34guy, that's like prototype that guy. So that's it's it's the worst quote.
- 1:16:42Best quote pick yep, you have to you have to pick it.
- 1:16:45Yeah, for sure, YEA love it. Jesse. I feel like I
- 1:16:50didn't get a lot of quotes, but I just thought it cracked me up.
- 1:16:55Any reference to any immature reference to like female genitalia and the the creepy
- 1:17:01football coach said something about like looking for muff. Yes, yes, and
- 1:17:05I was like, no, that's and that's the only one with me.
- 1:17:13That's hilarious, just like book that's do I have to bleep muff? No?
- 1:17:27Do you? I don't know, he muss if you do, I'm
- 1:17:36aware. Okay, you've been out of the game for a minute. Rap,
- 1:17:42I don't know you have Oh my god. Well I had some say,
- 1:17:51man, you got a joint? No, no, I mean man,
- 1:17:54it'd be a lot cooler if you did. I liked Rory Cochrane.
- 1:18:02He said behind every good Man. There's a woman and that woman was Martha
- 1:18:06Washington Man and every day George would come home, she'd have a big fat
- 1:18:11bowl waiting for him. Man, when he came in the door man,
- 1:18:14she was a hip, hip lady. Man. I loved that. I
- 1:18:26love Oh, this was Adam Goldberg. So first it was Anthony Rapslock.
- 1:18:30So you're not going to go to law school? What do you want to
- 1:18:32do? Then he just goes, I want to dance now, and then
- 1:18:40just leave it. Yep, just leaves it. Then it's like a hard
- 1:18:42cut, and I was all about it. Why don't you say some beigs?
- 1:18:47When the gun gets pulled on Ben Affleck and he's like, oh,
- 1:18:50I'm sorry, ma'am. I was just escorting your fine young man home from
- 1:18:55school. There's some ruffians about and she tells him to and he's like,
- 1:19:00oh yeah, Mitch, Carl, we will be seeing each other again.
- 1:19:03You know all that stuff. I thought that was fun. It's super early.
- 1:19:08But when he walks up on the two nerdy guys, Adam Goldberg and
- 1:19:12Rap, he's like Woodward Bernstein and their responses, I guess that makes you
- 1:19:16deep throughout them. Ye, yeah, that was fun. I did like
- 1:19:23some of them because it was the centennial. I did like some of the
- 1:19:27references to that and that teacher. I was all about the teacher when she
- 1:19:30was like, when you're being inundated by patriotism and the centennial, Like,
- 1:19:36remember, we were founded on slave owning men who didn't want to I forget
- 1:19:42what she said, who didn't want to, like pay their taxes. Yeah,
- 1:19:45yeah, yeah, you're celebrating that's the fact that a bunch of slave
- 1:19:47owning, aristocratic white males didn't want to pay their taxes. I think I'm
- 1:19:55thinking Ronald Reagan back then, Like I'm I didn't realize people were aware back
- 1:20:00Yeah of that excited. Yeah, Yeah, that's great. I liked that
- 1:20:04one a lot. Oh yeah, there's always one senior who has to be
- 1:20:11the badass, you know. I think O'Banion might be the first guy to
- 1:20:14get that on or two years in a row, just that it's fun nice.
- 1:20:24I felt like kind of an iconic one was another Matthew McConaughey one.
- 1:20:28He has kind of a monologue when he's at the football field, but he
- 1:20:30ends with let me tell you this, the older you do get, the
- 1:20:33more rules they're going to try to get you to follow. You just got
- 1:20:35to keep living, man, L I V I N nice And then like
- 1:20:42one of the girl watters it later she's like, yeah, you're right,
- 1:20:48that's how you spill that. Yeah, when they're when they're climbing the moon
- 1:20:53tower or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And the one dude's like hot tops.
- 1:20:58He said he only had one beer, man, how many of you
- 1:21:00had you had? Like yeah, four? As he's climbing up its still
- 1:21:08grabbing his nose, he's just like, you're dead, man, you're dead.
- 1:21:14Like that was so fun. He was so great, And he's like,
- 1:21:17did you ever look at a dollar bill? Man? There's some spooky
- 1:21:20going on there, and it's green too, And then they just cut I
- 1:21:26love that. That's so fun. That was about all I had, though
- 1:21:31it was good. It was quotable writing. Oh. I also loved that
- 1:21:38stupid coach, not the old guy coach, but the younger one. Hell
- 1:21:42man, my grandma's quicker and tougher and you pansies. Of course she's six
- 1:21:45three, two fifty and runs a four or five for like, they all
- 1:21:51right, that was super funny. Yeah, And then they talk about it
- 1:21:56later and Matthew McConney was like, oh, she was only six or whatever.
- 1:22:00It was getting bigger and bigger. Still drove that mac truck though,
- 1:22:08whatever. So good, that's all I had to. All Right, well
- 1:22:15let's go to bugs. Boohoo moments crying game. Strong men also cry strong
- 1:22:25men. Also, I don't think you cried in this movie. This is
- 1:22:29not a cry movie. Interesting, What do you guys think? Was there
- 1:22:32anybody else you thought he could have booed? I picked zero times zero times
- 1:22:41zero times, get zero. Don't think about it too hard. You're right,
- 1:22:45I didn't. I didn't cry. Yeah, this isn't the no.
- 1:22:50I was gonna guess when they're in the when they're in the car driving and
- 1:22:56all the time the time where the little guy was in the car the hot
- 1:23:00guy and they're just kind of like looking at each other. You guys know
- 1:23:03what I'm talking about. Yep, I do. It wasn't very specific.
- 1:23:06I don't know who the with ping okay, okay, Like he's looking around,
- 1:23:15Mit is looking around like kind of like that I'm in it, living
- 1:23:18his best. Oh yeah, they're just kind of becoming buddies. Yeah,
- 1:23:25yeah, I didn't cry, but I did like that, right, those
- 1:23:28are fun, but yeah, no no boo, Who's strength and I love
- 1:23:31it? Well? Hit us with some trim movie tr uh. Reportedly,
- 1:23:39one sixth of the budget was spent on acquiring the rights to all the seventies
- 1:23:43pop hits on the soundtrack. It felt like every three minutes they were hitting
- 1:23:47us with another great soundtrack. Great soundtrack. Uh. The character of Waterson
- 1:23:55was based on McConaughey's older brother, which I thought was fun. And Rob
- 1:24:00that line that you liked, the just keep Living that became his production company,
- 1:24:06which is JKL Just Keep Living Productions, Keep Living, which is pretty
- 1:24:11fun. I like that. I thought this was interesting. Sean Andrews,
- 1:24:15who was the dude that dealt the weed. They went to his house.
- 1:24:19He was going to have the party there and all the party and they so
- 1:24:25he and Jason London didn't get along apparently during filming, and at one point
- 1:24:30they had to break up a fight between them. Even so, they like
- 1:24:32really didn't get along and so much so that they changed the ending U which
- 1:24:38is why Matthew McConaughey is on the field with them rather than that dude.
- 1:24:45Okay, Sean Andrews still totally works though totally works. It probably wasn't a
- 1:24:50big deal. But and they also have like no dialogue, almost no dialogue,
- 1:24:57but they're in a ton of scenes together, and I guess they just
- 1:24:59really didn't dig each other, which is that's interesting, Get over it.
- 1:25:02You know, most of the beer drunk was real beer, barring the folks
- 1:25:10who were miners, of course, it says but Jason London refused to drink
- 1:25:15on set and was trying to stop smoking, so that was probably hard.
- 1:25:19The word man is said two hundred and three times in this movie, which
- 1:25:24looks pretty fun. I love that and totally, oh, this was kind
- 1:25:35of fun. Although Woodson was the creepy graduate who still hangs out at the
- 1:25:40high school, McConaughey was younger than several of the cast members playing teenagers,
- 1:25:44which I thought was interesting, including Sasha Jensen, who I forget who that
- 1:25:48is exactly that? Oh yeah, that's right, right, right, So
- 1:25:55Sasha Jensen was older, Joey Lauren Adams was older, and Parker Posey.
- 1:25:59We're all older than McConaughey, which is kind of fun. Let's see.
- 1:26:03Oh, apparently Linklater's intent was this was a This was supposed to be a
- 1:26:09John Hughes movie in reverse? Oh or inverse? Yeah, so inverse inverse.
- 1:26:16Sorry, I'm not smart enough to know what that means. What does
- 1:26:18that mean? Just like all like all the you know, Hughes movies are
- 1:26:24very like coming of age and wholesome. This was the opposite. I think,
- 1:26:30let's go with that. Uh. When Wiley Wiggins was cast, he
- 1:26:35lied who was Mitch. He lied about knowing how to play baseball and how
- 1:26:40to pitch, So they had to get a double to show him from the
- 1:26:44back during the pitching scenes. Which, oh, that's interesting because I felt
- 1:26:46like he looked like a good pitcher. That's hilarious. Well it's because they
- 1:26:50got somebody else magic, I guess. So what a weird thing to lie
- 1:26:56about, Like he's never thrown a ball, what's happening? I don't know.
- 1:27:00He couldn't pitch, and he still got that for someone that could touch
- 1:27:08their nose. He was so spin they picked like the perfect little Weasley freshman
- 1:27:15bowl. Yeah, it was like, I love that he was so you
- 1:27:19know, Oh, this was the big this was the big thing. So
- 1:27:28when Ben Affleck slams down his h like paddle thing, the cricket bat paddle
- 1:27:32thing, after he gets all the paint on him. He shattered his ankle
- 1:27:36in that scene and you can see you could see he no, no,
- 1:27:43so he hits the paddle on the ground, but he like must have stepped
- 1:27:45wrong on his ankle. I went back and watched it, and you can
- 1:27:48definitely tell he did something to it and he was feeling it and you can
- 1:27:53see him kind of like limp. But he just finished the scene and went
- 1:27:56off. But yeah, they had to, like I think they said they
- 1:27:59had to. They had to pause some filming and stuff for him to get
- 1:28:04set up. But yeah, apparently he really messed himself up and he's related
- 1:28:10or like if they shot probably not in order. He trips up the curb
- 1:28:15in his very first scene, like when he first comes around the car to
- 1:28:19like introduce himself. So I wonder, yeah, if he was just like
- 1:28:24not sitty. Honestly, Yeah, it looks like he did make it up
- 1:28:28the curb, but I yeah, it looks like he whiffed it. Yeah,
- 1:28:30yeah, that's but it's funny when if you watch the scene back where
- 1:28:33he slams this thing down, check it out. You can tell. And
- 1:28:36when I first watched it, I was like, why did he do this
- 1:28:40weird like pause there it was. It was kind of interesting. And then
- 1:28:43I read this and I was like, oh wild, and yeah, ouch,
- 1:28:46I do like this movie for Ben Affleck. It was great, went
- 1:28:53through it. Uh And this is ranked number three on Entertainment Weekly's fifty Best
- 1:28:59High School Movies list from two thousand and six. That's on top three.
- 1:29:06Yeah, I don't think that's my top. In fact, I think I
- 1:29:09did high school movies at some point. We definitely have same with you with
- 1:29:15you, but uh, yeah, that was all I had Tribune a bunch
- 1:29:20of stuff, dude. Well, first off, the infamous line all right,
- 1:29:26all right, all right was improvised. He got the idea from a
- 1:29:30recording of Jim Morrison saying all right four times in rapid succession. That's pretty
- 1:29:34cool. Let's look at some other things. As far as people that were
- 1:29:43up for roles. It looks like Vince Vaughan auditioned for Benny, but was
- 1:29:45turned down after Link later decided that he and Ben Affleck resembled each other too
- 1:29:50closely. I could see that young, so Cole Houser was cast in the
- 1:29:55role instead. And yeah, that's interesting. He was good. I do
- 1:30:01too. I saw that renee Zelwigger auditioned for a large role as one of
- 1:30:08the senior girls, but was given an uncredited role of girl in Blue Truck.
- 1:30:12She was in the movie. Yeah, they just replaced her with the
- 1:30:16same lady though the actress right, I mean right, differ voices. Yes,
- 1:30:26there was a bunch of actors that also auditioned, and they didn't tell
- 1:30:30me which roles. But Mark Ruffalo, Hilary Swank, Will Wheaton, somebody
- 1:30:38named Mackenzie Aston, Jared Leto, Elizabeth Berkeley, Denise Richards, Alicia Silverstone,
- 1:30:46Kirsten for sure, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mira Sorvino, Reese Witherspoon,
- 1:30:54and Ron Livingston. Wow, and it looks like Brendan Fraser was actually contacted
- 1:31:00for a role probably at the time, probably for Yeah, totally absolutely an
- 1:31:08overall boy or them. Yeah, I feel that. And one other kind
- 1:31:14of fun thing. It looks like Bobby Woodson, Andy Slater, and Richard
- 1:31:18Floyd, former high school classmates of Richard linklater sued Universal Studios, saying that
- 1:31:24Link later did not get their permission to use their likeness, likely likenesses and
- 1:31:30surnames. Wow, but it does look like it was dismissed because the statute
- 1:31:35of limitations had expired. Wild he used their real names, which is pretty
- 1:31:44douchey. Actually, it's not cool at all, especially when it's like he
- 1:31:48obviously took some liberties like these aren't. But I do love that, like
- 1:31:54they stood on it for a little bit if it exceeded statute of limitation up
- 1:32:00boiling up, like I'm still too late. But that was all I had
- 1:32:10fun. Good fact, did you guys have any other anythings you've come across?
- 1:32:14I did not. Those are great. There were fun ones for this
- 1:32:17one. Yea well judgment day. Will there be a sequel? No?
- 1:32:24No, it would be kind of fun though. If they did it,
- 1:32:28they could the nineties at this point probably like you know how they did what
- 1:32:32had American Summer and they were like slight or did they go back or they
- 1:32:36were only slightly older, but they're all super old. That would be so
- 1:32:41funny if they did that with this movie. We're doing that like girls.
- 1:32:45Yes, they're doing that right now with mean girls. But are they and
- 1:32:48they're acting like not meant much time has past? No, I think they're
- 1:32:51acting like now those the mean girls are the adults. Oh, welled American
- 1:32:57Summer. It was like, yeah, the same era. They're all like
- 1:33:00forty or yeah. They were like, it's the next summer, but they're
- 1:33:02all, yeah, I think that'd be funny to do with this because they
- 1:33:06would all be like, would they all be like the forties fifties? Oh
- 1:33:10yeah, yeah right, I mean in their fifties. This is thirty years
- 1:33:14old. I mean I'm just saying, everybody's rebooting everything and like they're doing
- 1:33:17everything. I would love to see Matthew McConaughey you do that role. Wow?
- 1:33:24Yeah, and like now he's super like woke and he right right.
- 1:33:29All of his quotes are about like composting and equal act for sure. That's
- 1:33:35hilarious. Running for office public schools, Yeah, I'll watch it like that.
- 1:33:42That's kind of surprising. They never remade it, though. I guess
- 1:33:45they just made different high school movies probably well and even he link later did
- 1:33:50a later movie that was very similar called Everybody Wants Some I think, and
- 1:33:55it was pretty much that same time period. And yeah, did you did
- 1:34:01you guys already talk about this on this podcast? Do you have a favorite
- 1:34:04like high school movie? We definitely have done that in the past. Scratch.
- 1:34:11Yes, well, no, do you have a favorite? Did you
- 1:34:15want to say that? I mean, I'm sure I do, but okay,
- 1:34:18I would probably say clueless or can't holy wait, I think you know
- 1:34:23it might it might have been on that clueless podcast. A lot would be
- 1:34:31high up on my can hardly wait. Oh, I loved that one too.
- 1:34:40I watched that movie because like my sister and brother loved it. I
- 1:34:43think so. I just feel like I was. It was like perfect age
- 1:34:45when I perfect and it's like that combination of like there are problematics, but
- 1:34:50they're like making fun of that character, and like, I mean, it's
- 1:34:54just so good, like Seth Green's in it for just knowing how much you
- 1:34:57loved Room. Surprised you didn't say. See, I can't even answer this
- 1:35:00question. And that's that's when the Duke always brings up never mind. Do
- 1:35:05you want me to tell you what? What Rob and I drafted in that
- 1:35:09draft? What? Which must have been one of the first ones we ever
- 1:35:12did. I think we did it for mean girls. Actually, okay,
- 1:35:15I went second. I got super bad mean Girls. I was gonna say
- 1:35:19super bad. Ten things I hate about you, The perks of being a
- 1:35:23wallflower, and a goofy movie. Rob then took Daised and Confused Number one.
- 1:35:30Okay, you know Back to the Future, which I love Rob Moore
- 1:35:38and mister Collins Opus whoa. I love Rushmore Rushmore so so good, one
- 1:35:45of my favorite. Such a good movie. Yeah, okay, yeah,
- 1:35:50no, I totally for ten for ten things I hate about it was one
- 1:35:53of my old like I mean when that movie came out, Oh my god,

- 1:53:40There's one remaining, one remaining correct. Did you go female or did
- 1:53:45you go male? That's a personal question we don't have to talk about right
- 1:53:49now. I went male to help you out there, Land, I went
- 1:53:55male. I just said that. I heard you say. He was like
- 1:54:01I went mail, and you were like Laura, Lenny, Laura, Lenny
- 1:54:11the long face la all right, Biggs you know it is no, I

- 1:55:08we going into the last one? Bugs? Slam has eight, I have
- 1:55:11six, Jesse has two. Yeah, do you have a guess going into
- 1:55:16it? Because you need to get all six of these Jesse to be able
- 1:55:18to tie. We could name an emotion movie and then and then they'll be
- 1:55:27different emotions. So is there one we haven't covered? You know? But
