  Speaker 1: In a world where movies rely on marketing more than
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: ever to connect with audiences, one podcast aims to make
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: sense of it all. This is movies and marketing. Next
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night, where's sending that to the future? Go ahead,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: make my day? How about now you're crazy Dutch bastard.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: What we've got here is failure Milgate. Take them around
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: where the fresh all of pout for we might be
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: as well with them. I am an a f I agent.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: What do you think Shad classifies an action movie? I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: should ask you that first.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. What classifies as an action movie?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: That could be chases, that could be fights. I would
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: just say bodies in motion a lot of the time
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: trying to do something something that would signify action. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: would say a good chunk of the movie has to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: be that, probably at least thirty percent of it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, there are some in history that are
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: very well known as action movies which will always be
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that way. I think there are some newer ones that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: would it hold up to that scrutiny of like the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: old school action one liner movies, you know, with like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Arnold or Stallone. Sometimes I think they're writing a fine
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: line between action, sometimes thriller, sometimes horror, sometimes you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: comedy even sometimes.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was even thinking, you know, some of the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: like the First Rambo before they got like super action.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: The First Rambo is kind of like a little bit
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of a drama with some action like built in there.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Do we still you know, consider those action movies. It's
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: kind of like a lot of movies are walking the line,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, other than these pure action movies like we
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: got in the eighties, nineties or even now, you'll get
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: some movies where you're like, oh man, that movie was
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: like non stop action. It was just the whole movie
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: was like you're going from a fight scene to a
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: chase scene. You know, it's always like constant motion or
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: something is always happening. There's a lot of other movies,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: especially throughout history, that kind of just walk that line
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a little more and would just have more like, oh,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: there's an action sequence in this movie. Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So that brings me to the trivia for today. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: have one for you, and I think you're gonna really
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: like this one. Okay, so dramatic pause In what nineteen
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: eighty seven action film did Arnold Schwarzenegger ad lib the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: now iconic line i'll be back after already using it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in another movie. Hmm ah, this is the key.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Right, that's the twist, right, yeah, because I know, you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the original movie has to be The Terminator, so that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: has to be where it started. So that's not the answer. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So what was the one where he said it again?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty seven movie. Don't think it's Predator, but that
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: was around that time, so I'm thinking it's like The
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Running Man or Red Heat. I'm thinking you're in that vicinity.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'll go, I'll go Running Man, the Running Man.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You got it? That's good, that's it. Yeah, he says
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it literally before he runs someone over with a giant vehicle.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Subtlety wasn't really his vibe obviously.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: No, nor the Running Man's vibe.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's good. I didn't know if you would
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: get that right, you know, because it's hard because Terminators
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: obviously comes to mind, right, because that's what you think
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is the iconic I'll be back. But there's another movie
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: he used it in. So the fact that he reused
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that one liner should tell you something how good that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: one was and how it really traversed the cultural moment.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That's surprising, I assume it was an intentional right, I.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Mean it was ad libbed apparently, so I don't know
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: what that looks like in a script, but I mean
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they were probably pleased with that because you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: they knew how important that one liner was, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and back then it was like, let's get all the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: juice from these one liners as we can. I'll be back.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You did not going to say that video, that's what
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you always say.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I wonder if James Cameron was pissed.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Well, you like, maybe you know, anybody could say that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's not like, it's not very specific, you know, yeah,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it's not super unique. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I say
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I'll be back all the time. But he says it
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the way he says it. You know what he's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: A classic, A double used How often does that happen?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: A double used line in two separate movies, not even
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: part of the same franchise. So on today's episode, this
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: is a big one. This is Some would say it's epic,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: action packed. We're talking about action movie one liners. What
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: do we mean by that, Well, we mean those quick quips,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: clever puns, or witty remarks our heroes make in the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: middle of a tense situation, sometimes even as their life
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: is on the line, where they're about to or have
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: just finished disposing of a fearsome foe. The history of
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: action one liners goes back decades, maybe even centuries. One
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: online writer references precedents to action one liners in ancient
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: epic poetry. But the action one liners that we're talking
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: about today really took off at the movies in the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixties with pun loving James Bond, picked up steam
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: in the nineteen seventies, and then reached a fever pitch
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: during the action movie apex of the eighties and nineties.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Why did so many action movies include one liners? Because
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the only thing sweeter than vanquishing your sworn enemy is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: pausing to deliver a cool bit of dialogue to make
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: them think about how cool you are before sending them
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to hell with a bullet. So, Patrick, why don't we we,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: being the audience, love these one liners so much in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: action movies? What is it about them?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I was reading somewhere that you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and they sort of alluded to the fact that one
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: liners give personalities to the heroes of the movie. It
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: turns some would say like a generic shootout like you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: know between Arnold or whoever, into like a very cinematic
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: moment where the hero is really you know, giving us
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: something extra, something unique, you know what I mean. So
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that personality that you need to really cheer for that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: hero I think comes through in the one liners.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's key, you know, that humanity, you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: injecting them in it makes them a little like us. Yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: they're more than just these kind of unstoppable muscle machines.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: You're like, ah, like like one of my buddies. The
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: other thing I think that's kind of key, is it?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You know, breaks the tension a little bit. As an audience,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: we need a little relief, relief or release in some
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: of these moments, or reminder that this isn't too real,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: you know, or in some cases, removing us from the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the violence of what's going on. If you have a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: lot of blood being spilled or guns being shot or
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: explosions going off, sometimes it's nice to just kind of
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: have someone remind you, hey, this is actually fun. We're
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: having a good time here. It's all, you know, just
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: an illusion we're putting on for you.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: There's something to it because you and I were talking
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: about this when we were talking about the cast, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: doing this episode, and something about like our childhood and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: growing up in the eighties and the nineties and having
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: all of these historic, maybe iconic action movies from these
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: guys who will be probably forgotten in another thirty forty
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: fifty years. There'll be like the old you know Westerns
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: or the you know movies from the thirties and forties.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, nobody really thinks about those guys. Like they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: hear the name and they go, oh, yeah, they've never
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: seen a movie maybe by them, you know, that kind
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of thing. And I think that eventually happened. But we
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: grew up in this time, and I think right now
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: these guys are all still alive. So you know, when
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: we think of action movies and one liners, we have
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a lot to pull from from our youth. Especially.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: That's a really good point, especially when you compare it
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to like Westerns, that's probably what it was. It'll look
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: like even now probably to young people. It's like this curiosity. Yeah,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: that's weird that these were some of the biggest movies
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you know, in the world for this ten or fifteen
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: year period where some of these action movies with these big,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: muscle bound guys, you know, delivering these lines, these joke
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: lines as they're like blowing people away. But this was
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: like a huge thing. People are going to look back
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: on that and be like, yeah, that's odd, and we
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: don't really do that as much anymore. You know, maybe
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: they pop up here and there once in a while,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: but it's not like this whole segment, and they definitely
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: don't own the box office like they did at one
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: point in time.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, like all good movies, we relive
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: them through storytelling, like we're doing in the podcast right now. Yeah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: so what are we doing, Patrick, What are we doing
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: here today? What's the exercise? The assignment, Ladies and gentlemen, listeners,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: boys and girls, if you will, if you will, we're
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: each going to share favorite action movie one liners. And
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: also we're going to share a potential This is the.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Best part, by the way, this is the this is
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the wrinkle.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: This is the wrinkle. So not only are you getting
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: an action one liner reminder like this existed, but you're
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: also getting we're going to give you another actor pastor
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: present that we think could also pull off this one
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: liner or you know, baby be in that movie in
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: place of that actor. So that's the wrinkle or the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: hard part, the challenge, really would you say?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's the fun part, and I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: it definitely adds a unique way of thinking about some
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of these, you know, taking a different lens or trying
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: to look at them, especially when you're thinking like this
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: could be a person at any point in time. It
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: could be somebody now, it could have been somebody fifty
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: years before the movie was made. It could be any time,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: any point in time.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the challenge. It's also you know, when the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: door is wide open, you almost become paralyzed in a way, like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: oh my, how do I an answer this question? You
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because there's just the infinite possibilities,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and when you have infinite possibilities, as you're like, you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: just can't become crippled.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard. It's like you're you're casting, you're the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: central casting office, and you're throwing around some ideas and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you're like does this work? Does this work?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And they're like, you have an unlimited budget, you can
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: get anyone. You're like, no, don't say that, I can't
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: You want to go first you want me to go first.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Ye, I'll go first. This time, I'll go first. Do
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it all right? So I was just telling you off air.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I watched The Newest Captain America recently, and in the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Newest Captain America, you may or may not, I believe
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you're choosing.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: For your first one a one liner from Captain America
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Brave New World. That's super exciting.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm not choosing something from that movie.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But this is I'm leading into the story and how
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I chose my first one. Oh, okay, okay, So listeners,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you may or may not know. In the movie, Harrison
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Ford plays the President in the United States. Who is
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you know in comic book form? Blah blah blah. Right,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it's not important. But what I thought was funny was
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: when I was watching it, I was going, it's weird
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that he's playing the president. And I thought to myself
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: because he was on Air Force one in the movie
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Captain America movie, and I was like, ah, there's something there, right,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: lo and behold there's a great action one liner from
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the movie Air Force One from nineteen ninety seven with
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Harrison Ford. He plays President Marshall. He says in the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: movie Get Off My Plane, Right, Harrison Ford says it
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: like he's been the president forever and personally wrestles with
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: terroris daily and it's calm rage, which is what's great
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: about it because he's the president in the movie. At
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the time, that was a big deal and he was
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a big star, and that one liner was kind of
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like kind of quippi. After the fact, people were saying
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: stuff like that in you know, common everyday discussions or
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: whatever conversations. They'd they'd say it jokingly, kind of like,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you know, get to the Choppa from Arnold's Days. So
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I had a really hard time with the alternate actor
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: for this, but I chose something kind of safe because
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, who else could I see? And I
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was sort of stuck with someone maybe in that time
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: period in my mind. So I went with Tommy Lee Jones.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, presidential, very presidential.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I read this thing where like about actors who have
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a certain kind of jenes sequa, this moral authority they
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: called it, which I thought that that was a great example,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: gruff moral authority, you know, this like energy to them.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones kind of have that,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And coincidentally they were in a movie together, a good one.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what was that movie called The Fugitive?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The Fugitive? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, so maybe that was
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a cop out that I chose him, being that they're
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: kind of the same uh, same guy in different forms.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: No, No, I think that's a good I think that's
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: well cast. That's a good pick because you can easily
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: picture it. So he's another guy who's you know, it's
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: hard to find somebody who can pull off a president Yeah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: where like, oh, okay, I respect this guy. He's a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: good that's a good presidential choice. That's a good pick.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: This one very close to making my lists, like an
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: honorable just off the list. Now, this is one of
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: these cases where you know, we don't know what the
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: other person's gonna pick. I think there's a strong chance
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have some overlap here. I'd be surprised if
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: we didn't at some point.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of choices, you know, there's just some
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: that are just so good. I'd be surprised if there
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't at least one that overlapped. So this one was
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: pretty close, but a great one. And Harrison Ford, this
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: guy knows his way around a Quippie one Liner, did
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: him in Star Wars, he did him in Indiana Jones's
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: He's Got Skills. But I think that's the one that really,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you know, in the nineties hit and I think he
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: says it, and doesn't he like throw someone off the
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: plane right after he says it?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, If I'm gonna nitpick it in any way, I'd
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: probably say, shouldn't he say get off our plane? Isn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: it America's plane?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, that's kind of the beauty of it, right,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is like this this is his plane. He's been the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: president forever and there's never gonna be another president.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So that's a great pick. So my first one, you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go right to the goat. Okay, the greatest
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: of all time. We've mentioned him, the king of the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: action one liner, mister Arnold Schwarzenegger, And I'm gonna go
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: with one of our favorite, probably the movie that is
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: stuffed with more one line than any other action movie,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: or at least it's in the running. That is Commando,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: where he plays John Matrix, and the line is little
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: some steam Bennett and this is when he, you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: stabs a man in the torso with a pipe that
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: then is as a result, is shooting steam out of it,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: and then he delivers this line, you know, right after it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: This is a certain type of one liner that plays
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: when a person is killed and you deliver a pun,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you know, to explain how you're killing them, you know,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: or it kind of works like that. So there's a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: lot there's quite a few one liners like this where
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: you're like, I'm I guess, get off my plane. Even
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: works at a certain that way as well, when you're
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: kicking them off the plane, you know, as that's happening.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot like this, not to step on
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: toes of other picks, but Arnold has a few other
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: ones in the you know, like in Predator he stabs
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: someone with a knife I think, into a tree and
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: then says stick around. These almost always work for me,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: so I like these every time. So this is, you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: just a classic one from Schwarzenegger, from a movie filled
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: with them. Who else could have done it? It's tough
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: with Schwarzenegger. I thought of a few though. I thought
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: of a few, and then I'll tell you where I landed. First.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I went to interestingly in rip Val Kilmer, like an
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: early Val Kilmer doing this. You know, he's got kind
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: of his top gun haircut, which is similar to Arnold's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Commando haircut. You know, I could see him pulling it off.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Then I was like, maybe we do something different, you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: maybe we modernize Commando a little bit. What if we
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: get Charlie's thrown in here. She's done a few action movies.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I could see her, you know, doing some stabbing and
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: doing like let off some steam. She could probably deliver
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: it pretty well. What if we take this in a
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: even different direction and it's kind of like even more
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: of an action comedy, and then we go with Jack Black.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, I see what you're doing there.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it's just gushing. The stave is just
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: really flying out.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Those are interesting choices though, because, like I see
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Charlie's there own because of like Atomic Blonde. You know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: she was big in that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like because Fury Rode Atomic Blonde. You know, she
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: was in one of the Fast and Furious movies. She's
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: done some action stuff.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting thing about that is that is a very
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: action movie. The one liners almost make them super cheesy
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to the point where like they're funny, you know, like
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: there's some funniness to them that you just can't get
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: away from. It's a hidden comedy in a lot of ways.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: You know, like I love Diehard, but Diehard has so
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: much comedy in it that you're kind of like, yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of Bruce Willis brings a lot of comedy too. Yeah, borderline,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: this is a comedy, right, It's not a romantic comedy,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: but it's a comedy nonetheless, And you know, a little
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: bit of a holiday flick, which is why, which is why, Chad,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I have to have one from die Hard. And this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: is where I struggled. I really struggled because the one
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that almost everybody in the world knows is Yippie kaya Mother.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: But that's the one, right that everybody knows. But I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: was like, what about the unsung hero of that movie?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: And there's multiple but I like.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Welcome in a body pout.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I mean so good, right, John McClain nineteen eighty eight,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: die Hard. You got this guy, he's, you know, shouting
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: from the roof to after he you know, is tossing
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a dead body onto a police car. I don't know
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: if he was really on the roof or he's in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the in the window. It's like part celebration part cry
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: for help. You know, hero gold right there, you know
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And he's got that sarcasm. And to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: your point, Bruce Willis was great at action and great
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: at comedy. Like the fusion of that was so good,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: so good it can't be understated, like he was. He
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was great at that. So I really struggled though with
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: this idea of who could it be? Who could that
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: alternate actor be? So I came back to these two
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: individuals who have.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Some of it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: One of us is the questionable, but I think, you know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you could see it one of them a little bit.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds Okay, yeah, easily brings the same sarcastic smirk,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: slightly better skincare. The other would be Paul Rudd. Yeah,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that would be pretty interesting, right, Like it's unexpected. Like
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds, I think you could see him maybe a
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: little bit more in that role because of some of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the other things he's done recently. But Paul Rudd is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: like he's got that though too. Where like Bruce Willis
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: was known for comedy first then kind of came into
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the action, I think, and that's kind of Paul Rudd.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Paul Rudd, I feel like, I know him comedy first,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and then you know he's done some action stuff too.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: You know, you've never seen him in anything like that
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: because he gets so a little edge to him mm hmm.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: But I'd love to see him try to pull it off.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like this mix of desperation and comic timing, you
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like just you could kind of
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: see him being in this situation like that. This is
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he gets on those lists
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of like sexiest man alive or like most interesting person.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just because he's got this charm to him,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: which I think Bruce Willis had, you know.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he can the like I'm by myself kind
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: of talking through, making jokes through the whole thing. Yeah,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you know, going through it. Could he pull off some
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: of the action stuff. I kind of think he could
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and be interesting to see him try, because again he's
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: never like done anything like that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I could totally see him crawling through the events, you
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, like talking to him.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Come out, come out to the coasts. We'll get together,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: have a few laughs. Yeah, you know, yeah, you're right,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the diehard filled with comedy, you know, Welcome to the party, pal,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: was one of the ones I considered for this definitely
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: honorable for me. There's a lot though, I was even
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: just going through a lot of the Diehard quotes. There's
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the one where he calls the police line and the
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: lady tells him this channel is reserved for emergency calls only,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: and he says, no, lady, does it sound like a
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: mortar and a pizza? Just stuff like that throughout. You know,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: it's almost like non stop throughout that movie. But I
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: will skip ahead. You mentioned it. I couldn't leave it off.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was too good.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I had to go with.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to, you know, why did I have
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to do that? Mother is like gold when it comes
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to action movie one liners, and this I think is
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: the peak of it. No movie or actor employed it
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: better than Bruce Willis and die Hard. This line takes
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the crown in the Mother one liner Hall of Fame,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: beating out Arnold in Predator.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Oh Yeah, you are one ugly mother and Samuel L.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Jackson in Snakes on a Plane saying I've had it
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: with these mother snakes on this mother plane. It's also
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: just such a kind of unique and odd line. There's
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: like this whole conversation about cowboys he's having with with Hans,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: And they could have easily gone with something like get
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: a long little doggie or something like that, you know
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: what I mean, But they instaid. They went with the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: like yiffy kaye thing, which is just so memorable. Yeah,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: and then you pair it with mother.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And it's just the way Bruce Willis delivers it with
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: that kind of like smart ass way he does. It
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: is just it's just chef's kiss. I was trying to
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: think who could replace Bruce Willis in this movie is
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: kind of like a unicorn. I was trying to look
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: up who else did they consider for this role? Pretty interesting?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Some of them were the standards of the time, but
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the people they were first thought of for the role
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra weird. Then you got Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Mel Gibson,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Burt Reynolds, Richard Gear and Harrison Ford. All of them
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: basically turned it down. Who is the third on the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: list alone after Smell Gibson. Oh, mel Gibson, He's about
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: the only one I could kind of see because you
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: you want that guy to be like kind of an
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: everyday normal, Yeah, but not Stallone and Schwarzenegger. THO would
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: have been awful picks for this. I don't think it
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: would have done the same. Now they were two bulky,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: big dudes.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: How could they fit in those events? That's why, in fact, you.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Know, that's why I was trying to think, you need
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: that right level of that kind of balance of every
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: man in cockiness. So where I landed was another actor
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: from this time period, someone I really like Kurt Russell.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I think Kurt Russell could have probably, you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: pulled this off. I don't know if he's as good
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: as Bruce Willis, but I think he could have done
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: pretty well. I also, we want to go back a
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: little farther, a young Paul Newman, you know, like the
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: hustler Paul Newman. He's got the cockiness. He could have
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: probably done this too.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's an interesting one. I don't know.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I can't picture him, but I can't picture him doing it.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: But if he was like fast forward and he was
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the younger version at that time, yeah, I like the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: cross time machine.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Kurt Russell, I think was you know, if you couldn't
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: get Bruce Willis, he'd be a good second guy.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of that in the days of
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Escape from New York. He had one liners in that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Escape from La Tango and Cash Big Trouble in Little China,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: full of one liners, you know what I mean.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: He's he's kind of doing the same thing where he's
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: just commenting on the action the whole time.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, double die hard tough to recast. What do
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you got next? So I was telling you that again,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: kind of the things that happened to you in life.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: At the moment when we're podcasting, we're gonna look back
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: as a time capsule and go, these were things that
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: were happening in our lives, right, And so I was
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: just telling you off air. I was watching the john
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Wick series, all kind of confined because we were gonna
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: go see Ballerina. So I was like, you know, I
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: was picking all these movies from then, right, and I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: was like, there's got to be something here, And of
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: course there are there's newer movies. There's newer movies that
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: have one liners. So I've picked one from John Wick.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: So John Wick in john Wick twenty fourteen, at one
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: point he says, yeah, I'm thinking on back kind of
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: goes plays a little bit off of I'll be back.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: You know, it's got that element. It's calm, collected, somewhat chilling,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you know, in Keanu's chilling way, if you want to
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: say that. He delivers it like a man who didn't
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: want to return to violence, but now that he's here,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: everyone else is doomed. That kind of thing. And it
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: became the unofficial mission statement of the entire franchise. So
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: who's an alternate for this?
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to hear what you got for this one.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is tough. I'm trying to think outside the box, unconventional,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: keeping it kind of real. Hear me out. What do
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you think of Oscar Isaac?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I really like that. I don't know if
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: he has the physicality of a Keanu Reeves, but who does,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: but probably to some extent, could pull a lot of
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: that off. I mean, I think the dialogue, especially which
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: you know, limited dialogue with John Wick. Yeah, yeah, but
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I think he could definitely bring the way to a
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: line like that. Yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: When I think of Keanu, I think of quiet intensity.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: M h right, And I think that's how I think
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: of Oscar Isaac.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Is this.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I think he's a good actor, you know, a good,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: great actor. I would just kind of smash those two
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: words together. But really, like, I think he could pull
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: that off. And again, I you know, like Keanu and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the physicality, I think he kind of moved into that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was ever meant to be that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I think he took it on. He was like, I'm
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: going to do this. You know, maybe the Matrix movies
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: prepared him for that. I don't know, you know what
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I mean. But yeah, prior to Matrix, I don't know
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: if I would have ever thought he would be that guy,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: but John Wick really made him into that.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's true. And Oscar Isaac, he's one of
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: those guys I've always thought about. He's like been steadily working.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: But there was a point I was like, oh, this
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: guy's at some point going to become like a larger
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: star than he actually has become.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, John Wick is very close to a lot of
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: people's hearts.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So they're going to be people hating on the fact
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: that I just picked Poscar Isaac, or maybe people who
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: love that choice.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you had to recast somebody.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to pick though.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I like getting a more modern movie in there, and
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I like getting a Kanu in there. You know, I
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: was looking around at some Kanu movies and you're right.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: He does have more of a you know, quiet, calmer presence.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: So he wasn't like a Schwarzenegger where he's like just
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: throwing out these lines ten times a movie. That just
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't who he was, even though he's in some of
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: the most significant action movies of the last thirty years. Yeah,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: so going in a semi different direction. You know, this
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: individual also known maybe kind of for martial arts. Someone
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: questioned his capabilities, but not me. I'm talking about mister
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Steven Segal in the movie Hard to Kill where he
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: plays Mason Storm. But yeah, that's the one where he's
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: you know, goes into the coma he's kind of left
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: for dead, and then he goes back for revenge. So
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: his line in that there's a senator he wants to
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: get revenge on. This guy has like commercials on TV
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: where his kind of catch phrases and you can take
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: that to the bank, and Steven Sagal kind of keeps
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: thinking about this over and over and then he delivers
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: the line, I want to take you to.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: The bank, Senator Trent to the blood bank.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: To the blood bank. So the pause is key here.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: This is why it's great, you know, this is where
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: the comedy has made though it's not meant to be
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: funny at all. This is dead serious, you know, especially
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: with Sigal's delivery. So this is another type of you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: one liner. We get a lot where it's like you
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: have the line, you have kind of an ellipsis, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: then you have the rest of the line that like,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: you know, twist it on its head a little bit.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Another example of this that I thought about was a
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: stallone and Demolition Man where he says You're gonna regret
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: this the rest of your life, both seconds of it.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: So Steven Seagal not the best line delivery Man. Everything's
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: kind of the same. It's nush tone, it's very much
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: like this, but I think it really works with this line.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: The calm, quiet, almost whisper makes the second part of
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the line come as kind of an added surprise. And
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: then you also get this in the movie, this kind
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: of tuned up music that's like the dung, you know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: so it makes it more exciting. So who else could
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: have delivered this line? You know, it's tough to match
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Segal's delivery, So maybe we need to take it in
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: a different direction. Can I give you one, mister Nicholas Cage.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Can't even begin to think what exactly he would do
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: with it, but I know he would do something off
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: the wall. I'm thinking there would be more or maybe
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a little more yelling, or you know, a raising and
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: then a lowering of the voice. I'm gonna take you
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: to the blood bank, Senator Trent to the blood bank.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't really do a Nick Cage.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: That's a good change up, But for the rest of
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the movie, could he hold up? Like I don't know
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: what his martial arts skills are. He could slap people, probably.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: He could. He could throw people around a little bit.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you want somebody who's doing the same. You know,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: when you're casting, you're like, I want somebody who captures
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: this energy. And sometimes you're like, I just can't. Nobody
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: else can do it. I've gotta go complete opposite.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I think you're gonna really appreciate this.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I picked two thousand ones, The Fast and the Furious
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Dominic Toretto.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I live my life a quarter a mile at a time.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: It's melodramatic, it's oddly poetic. I thought, what if I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: take that question and I give it to chatupt alternate
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: for Vin Diesel Timothy shallomet No, I was a little rolling.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Well, let's not dismiss this. What if he's like, I
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: want to like completely change perception of me. He like
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: shaves his head, balks up. You know, he's like just
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: this huge dude. He's trying to you know, he's like
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: reborn as something different. He's got some acting chops he
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: could probably you know, you could pull off the line.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: So if he could change his physical appearance, I think
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: he could do it, grow some sort of crazy goateee.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: What you're saying is if he could change everything about himself,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: which you can do.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Actors can you know, physically transform themselves.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I mean that's the goal, right, Like, isn't that what
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: acting is? So I yeah, okay, I'll give you that,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: but it's a stretch. He's not the first name that
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: would come to my mind at all. No, I don't
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: even know how Timothy Shallomey talks, baby like I live
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: my life a quarter mile at a time. It's like
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit of Timothy Shallomey slash Mark Wahlberg. If
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: he was a mouse.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: This is a good pick, though. I like the incorporation
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: of the fast and furious in here. You know, you
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily think of the two thousands for action.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Movies, Yeah, for sure. And we're picking favorites, and you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: there's a zillion favorites. I mean, I really there's so
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: many that I could pick from from our youth even
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: and I was trying to be a little bit fair
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to the decades. Part of me was like, there's more
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: than just what we grew up with. And I know
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: listeners talk about that probably all the time, Like Patrick
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: shad Get, you pick something else, any sort of list making.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: The process you go through sometimes like how am I
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: going to spread it out? How do these picks look
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: next to each other? And then sometimes you're just like,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I'm just picking my favorites. To hell with it all,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: you know. It's kind of like the different processes you
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: go through each time you do this. Yeah, for my
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: last one, I went to what I think is the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: top the mountain. Of course, I'm talking about the film
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Passenger fifty seven, where Wesley Snipes played John Cutter and
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: uttered always bet on black. It's quick, it's kind of
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: off the wall and out of nowhere. But the delivery
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: is just great. And even in the movie, if you
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: watch it, the filmmakers go way over the top with
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: like spotlighting it. They whip the camera on Snipes. This
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: is it. This is the peak of the one liner.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: This is like the moment of realization, like we're doing
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: a one liner. Hey, everybody, look at us. Here it is.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: The marketing for this movie was basically built around this line.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do remember that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: So it's also just great. It's fun and Snipes, you know,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: he just kills it. So who else could do it?
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Thinking about Denzel, Denzel could probably do this. I don't
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: think Denzel's doing Passenger fifty seven.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: No, younger Denzel. I could hear him in his toe,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: like the way he talks.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can hear him in his voice doing it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I just don't think he would do it. Oh, He's like,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: this is a diehard rip off. I'm not doing this today.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I also went to Michael B. Jordan. I'm like, hey,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: you could probably do this. I have a tough time
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: like him getting the delivery just right. I'm not sure
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: about For a minute, I went to Will Smith. Not
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: necessarily Will Smith. Now you know the post slap Will Smith,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: but the I Am legend Will Smith. I'm like, okay, maybe,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: but then I got it and the answer is I
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: think the actor with one of the greatest voices around
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: today who almost every line he delivers, you're like, oh,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: this guy is just really adding some weight to this
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: this like I'm feeling this, and that's Sterling K. Brown.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Do you know this guy Sterling K. Brown? If he
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: was on This is Us? He was on the show
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: what was the show we just watched on Hulu with
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: the President Paradise Just can't think of the name of
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: it now, Paradise. Yeah, he was just on the show Paradise.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: But he can like deliver a kind of a dumb
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: line but give way to him. So I think he's
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: my guy. He's who I would get with.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's a good choice. I think he had a
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: charisma to him, and, like a lot of those guys
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: of the time period, a charm that was on screen
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: you kind of miss it when it's gone.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely one of my favorites. There's a few. I'm
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: shocked you didn't include. One of them is I'm the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Law from Judge Dread Because you do it all the time.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I am the law, that's.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Your go to stallone. I was like, oh, Patrick's definitely
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: going to include it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I was, like I said, I was trying to like
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: bury it up because there's so much more than what
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: we've just been repeating ourselves.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I mean there is, but you know these are still gems.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Just you know, that's an every day or for you.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I thought of the stallone one in Cobra.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: He says, you're the disease the cure, You're the disease
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: of the cue.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I mentioned, you know, the inter Force one one that
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: was a good one. What about you know, going back
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: a little further Clint East with Dirty Harry, go ahead,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: make my Day or do you Feel Lucky Punk? Both
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: of those were huge.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you go by decades, there's some in every
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: decade that are so great and there was no limit.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I really wanted to include He's not coming back,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: you know from point break he got Johnny Utah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: One of my faves that would have been a good one.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: It's so good and it's one of those things I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: really like one liners. Not all of them that we
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: choose are like this, but the ones that you can
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: use in everyday life. Like I say that all the time, Like, yeah,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: my daughter's like, you know, I'm gonna go to the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: grocery store and then I'll be home after. I'm like,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: she's not coming back, you know, she's not because she's
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: gonna go see her friends. She's not gonna come back.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, fair, Yeah, it's going to wrap up here today,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Patrick action one liners. They're kind of lost digging. We
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: could probably find a few nuggets of gold, but mostly gone.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Do we need to bring them back or has their
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: day just passed by?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I think there should be room for one liners. It
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: brings levity to something that is sometimes serious. So one
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: liners kind of give us a moment. You know, not
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: everything has to be super serious. You need that comedic relief,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Just give us a nugget.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: A slightly different take. I think they'll always exist in
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: some you know form and some like isolated form. But
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I think as this like cultural force, as like you know,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: a commando where they're just like loaded with them. I
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: think that's over. People are too self aware.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: What made them great in the past were the fact
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: that actors delivered them like they thought they were super cool. Yeah, no,
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I saying, like a lot of them, you can't do
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: what Schwarzenegger did anymore without it being like winking or
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: intentionally cheesy, or without it being like a parody, you know,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: like I was talking about, like kind of the Jack
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Black version. Yeah, it becomes something different. So I think
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: that's kind of over. I know exactly when it was over,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: and it was Arnold Batman and Robin in nineteen ninety seven,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I think killed it. I think that was what kind
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: of put the final nail in the coffin of the
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: action movie one liner as that, you know, we're just
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: gonna we're just gonna fill fill up the bag with
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: these things. You can't have that kind of like self
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: seriousness that we had in that in the past. And
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: if you're saying, like, can we ever go back to that,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think we can. The world has changed. The
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: world has changed. Killing people with puns, I don't know.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know how well that's going over anymore.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as a wise man once said, the one liners
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: they remind us the heroes aren't just surviving, they're styling.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: It's my one liner for the episode.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: You're not just surviving, you're styling.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we hope you like the one liners in this episode.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe the next episode will have more. We don't know,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: we'll try it. Well, that's it for this episode of
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Movies and Marketing. Until next time, let's fade to black.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I'll be back. He's not coming back.
