  Dead and Biden. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky,
• 0:04
  and we wouldn't know because we're so happy inside. Some people boot on

• 0:43
  Looks and we're the Avid Indoorsmen. How are you, buddy? Oh man,
• 0:48
  it has been a day over here, buddy, really, what's going
• 0:52
  on? Well? So, I don't remember you've never had braces, right,
• 0:57
  did you ever? I did? I did. I didn't have it
• 1:00
  for as long as a lot of people, but I did have Do you
• 1:03
  have the permanent retainer afterward? Yeah? Okay, so I do as well.
• 1:07
  I had him on top and bottom because I'm nasty like that. But
• 1:11
  my bottom one broke last week and not like in a way that it was
• 1:18
  poking me, but in a way that it was annoying and I knew it
• 1:22
  was gonna be a problem at some point, and I was like, well,
• 1:25
  no big deal, I had these twenty years ago. This is bound
• 1:26
  to happen. I'll just make a phone call around. Turns out Orthodonis will
• 1:32
  not work on you unless you were their patient originally, so weird. Yeah.
• 1:37
  I called like eight places and finally I was like, so I get
• 1:42
  the feeling that everyone wants me to just screw off basically, and the one
• 1:45
  lady was like, well, it's not that, but kind of. And
• 1:48
  I was like really, like I'm not gonna be able to get in anywhere.
• 1:51
  She was like nope. So I called my place up in Bomidgee,
• 1:53
  Minnesota, where I got them and then drove there and back today. You
• 2:00
  went all the way to be Midgi today and back. Yeah. Well,
• 2:04
  so, like I was calling and I was finally like, well, I'm
• 2:07
  gonna I need to get this done. This is gonna be a problem.
• 2:09
  Yeah, And so I called them and I was like, so what do
• 2:13
  you think, Like, do you guys find this to be true? And
• 2:15
  they were like, yes, that is a thing. We don't really know
• 2:16
  why, but it is, but we can try to get you in.
• 2:21
  And then they were like, well, I have something today in four hours,
• 2:25
  and I was like, well, I can barely make that, so
• 2:28
  what else do we got? And they were like, he's going out of
• 2:30
  town, so it'll be four weeks otherwise, and I was like, okay,
• 2:35
  I guess. So it took a little sick time and yeah, and
• 2:42
  actually I like driving, so it really wasn't a bad deal. The weather
• 2:49
  was good, it was sunny, it wasn't super warm, but whatever,
• 2:52
  I don't I wore shorts. I don't care. But it's just been weird.
• 2:55
  So I yeah, I went there, grabbed a piece of pizza,
• 3:00
  get back. Oh yeah, yeah, like two minutes ago. So wow,
• 3:04
  it's just been a weird morning day. I guess your teeth are feeling
• 3:08
  good. I feel great and it they look great. They charged me,
• 3:13
  I think sixty bucks or something for all of it. Touched him all up.
• 3:17
  They were super nice and really cool. She even gave me like a
• 3:21
  gift card because she was like, I'm so sorry you had to come all
• 3:24
  the way here, and I was like, it's I mean, it is
• 3:28
  what it is. It was a little adventure, so yeah, I went
• 3:30
  on my own little quest today. Well let's give him a shout out,
• 3:34
  what is this orthodonistic orthodonics? If you're ever up there and the need to
• 3:38
  go check them out. It was really funny because I got to talk with
• 3:40
  them. They built this new place like right after I started, so I
• 3:45
  was like, well, I know how long you guys have been here,
• 3:46
  and it's been a long time. I got to chat with the doctor for
• 3:50
  a second and he was like, yeah, it's weird. Well I'm glad
• 3:53
  you could come back. Teeth are looking good. I was like, yeah,
• 3:57
  cool, that's hilario. I'm gonna drive home now, see you later.
• 4:01
  I have no idea. I guess mine would be in Brooklyn. I'm
• 4:04
  just gonna have to be very careful with that thing. I guess yeah.
• 4:08
  And I don't know if maybe I could have pushed it, But like I
• 4:11
  was, just it was weird. It was very strange. I just can't
• 4:14
  imagine. I guess it's a liability issue. It doesn't matter, no one
• 4:16
  cares. I went on a long drive, so I feel like I'm I
• 4:19
  also had caffeine today, which is a midweek thing. I don't usually do
• 4:24
  that. So we'll see what happens. It's gonna be a little crazy.
• 4:26
  Well, I mean that's like, what seven hours of driving then? Yeah?
• 4:30
  Just about eight? Yeah, yeah, real close. So yeah,
• 4:33
  it was it was It was a lot. It was my whole day.
• 4:36
  It was your whole day. Yeah. But here I am. How are
• 4:40
  you? I'm good, I'm very good. Well, why don't we just
• 4:43
  get into what the movies are? What was the last one that you watched?
• 4:46
  Yeah, so I went to the theater last week, I think it
• 4:51
  doesn't matter and saw Dungeons and Dragons. I was going to talk about that
• 4:56
  too. We did it again, got we're good at stuff. That's a
• 5:00
  kind of stuff. I really liked this movie. I thought it was very
• 5:02
  fun, um like really charming cast I was super into it. Of course,
• 5:09
  Chris Pine is just always a home run. It's still like he's great.
• 5:12
  Michelle Rodriguez was really fun. Justice Smith I liked him a lot.
• 5:17
  Sophia Lillis didn't get a ton to do, but I liked what she brought
• 5:21
  to the table. She was really fun. Was she the the red headed
• 5:26
  one? Yes? Okay, yes, and I thought she was fun.
• 5:29
  She was the shape shifter, she turned the shape shifter. I couldn't think
• 5:31
  of what she was called the owl bear bear owl, bear owl. I
• 5:35
  think it's the other way. Uh. And then like Hugh Grant is in
• 5:40
  it. There's just a bunch of people that are in it, and it's
• 5:42
  all very fun. It's sort of a classic tale involving a ton of D
• 5:46
  and D stuff. So I know the largest DN D aficionado we both know
• 5:51
  loved it. Yeah, he texted us right away. I was like,
• 5:55
  I called DIBs, Yeah, and maybe we could do an episode on it.
• 5:59
  It was fun. I had a really nice time. But yeah,
• 6:01
  it's it's a super fun movie if you like sort of I don't even know
• 6:08
  what you would call it, like kind of nerdy action movies with like a
• 6:11
  little bit of fantasy stuff in there and some magic. I think you'll enjoy
• 6:14
  this. It's a it's more of a romp than it is like a fantasy
• 6:17
  fantasy movie I think anyway. But you'll be a really good judge of that.
• 6:21
  So what did you think of it? I also thought it was very
• 6:25
  fun. I know almost nothing of dungeons and dragons, so I don't know
• 6:30
  if it's like accurate for those folks, but I found it to be very
• 6:33
  entertaining. I used the word charming as well in my just crispines so charming
• 6:41
  as word charming, so we roll our own. Who really are I know?
• 6:46
  But I think it might be my favorite thing Michelle Rodriguez has ever done.
• 6:50
  I think she was very funny and like she kind of had to be
• 6:57
  serious a few times, but because she was so funny it hit harder later.
• 7:00
  Yeah, I agree. And yeah, I mean she's always fine and
• 7:05
  everything she does, but I thought she was exceptional in this. I feel
• 7:09
  like usually she just kind of gets to be kind of like a brooding badass,
• 7:13
  and she was like and sillier, like you said, which I thought
• 7:16
  was fun. Yeah, it was that. It was really fun. My
• 7:18
  favorite thing will always be blue Crush, but I get it. Yeah,
• 7:23
  I don't. I saw the other one I saw, Yeah, probably was
• 7:27
  that the Kate Bosworth one. Yes, because I watched the Jessica Alba Paul
• 7:30
  Walker one, and I always get those two, which is so funny because
• 7:33
  you kind of fall into one or the other because I never saw the other
• 7:36
  one, yeah, which is like what a dumb one of those things where
• 7:42
  they both came out like within the same times of each other. Yeah,
• 7:46
  but definitely love Dungeons and Dragons on her among thieves would recommend, and yeah,
• 7:51
  my guess is that they'll keep making these because I don't know why not.
• 7:56
  Yeah, And that's kind of the thing. So there there are sort
• 7:59
  of like classic tropes and monsters that you see in various campaigns in there,
• 8:05
  but it's kind of like dungeons and dragons and that it can be sort of
• 8:09
  whatever you want it to be and whatever the players lead it to be.
• 8:13
  So it's it's fun. Yeah, I think they could do it for like
• 8:16
  ever. Probably I would watch that stuff. I thought it was really fun.
• 8:20
  Yeah, real silly, real fun. I'm with you. That's cool.
• 8:24
  Even streaming. So I streamed a movie that I know we've talked about
• 8:28
  before, but I recently finished the book, so I had to rewatch it.
• 8:31
  I finished The Count of Monte Cristo. Oh you so, the one
• 8:37
  that you love so much? That version already Okay, the one with what's
• 8:41
  his name? He played, not the Jesus. He played Jesus, sorry
• 8:46
  Jesus. Different guy. Yes, Jim Caviezel played Edmond Dantez. Guy Pierce
• 8:52
  is in this war. He's super fun. I really love him in it.
• 8:58
  Good Harris is in it. I believe it's Richard Harris, the original
• 9:01
  Dumbledore, not his son, but the other guy, Henry Cavill with a
• 9:07
  little stealth performance and there I don't think I remember that he's the son Albert.
• 9:13
  And then dang Mara Deminsic. Oh, yeah, who is in succession
• 9:20
  right that we've been watching recently, So fun to see her. She's Mercedes
• 9:24
  in this. The movie is great. I did follow a little bit victim
• 9:30
  to Wow, they really had to cut a lot out of this like thousand
• 9:35
  page book to make this movie work. But I still really like the movie
• 9:39
  and I always have. I think it's really fun and it was kind of
• 9:43
  fun to see some of those like little homages to the books that I wouldn't
• 9:48
  have recognized if I hadn't read it, So that's always kind of fun.
• 9:50
  And I really liked the book. I thought it was super interesting, a
• 9:54
  lot darker than the movie was, which I don't think is better worse.
• 10:00
  It's just different, um and to kind of do both of them back to
• 10:03
  back is it's kind of fun that they're different to me, So yeah,
• 10:07
  it was fun. It was a nice experience, the kind of Moni Christo
• 10:09
  that's by dumb ass correct Yes, yes, mister dumb ass himself. Yes,
• 10:13
  I thought so, Yeah, I love that name. It's the best.
• 10:20
  It's a good one. I'd love to read because he did Three Musketeers
• 10:24
  as well, right, I don't remember. I think he did. I'd
• 10:28
  be interested in reading that now too. Did you do the other one that
• 10:33
  Leo did, the Man in the Iron Mask? Because it kind of see,
• 10:37
  yeah, they do seem similar, don't. He's funny, he's he
• 10:41
  writes, it's so interesting. I always think of like these older classic books
• 10:46
  as sort of being kind of hoity toity, but he like kind of breaks
• 10:50
  the fourth wall and talks to you as a reader a couple of times throughout
• 10:54
  the book and stuff, and it's just it felt less like that than I
• 10:58
  sort of thought it was less duffy, And I was like, well,
• 11:01
  yeah, they probably were just more or less just like us now, right,
• 11:03
  Like they're just trying to have a nice time and engage people. So
• 11:07
  it was fun. I really liked both, So read it, watch it,
• 11:11
  do both. I don't care. Have fun right on? Yeah,
• 11:13
  how about you? What have you been streaming? I watched something much more
• 11:16
  recent than that. It's the new season of Ted Lasso. It's my season
• 11:22
  three so episode five that was the last one. You're all caught up?
• 11:28
  Yes, yes, so love the show. It's been. This season,
• 11:35
  though, has not been as like happy, go lucky, feel good as
• 11:39
  previous two. Definitely some laughs, but it's it's a little heavier this season,
• 11:46
  and they've added a few new characters that have been very fun. But
• 11:50
  man, I'm just bummed that this is the last season. Like it's already
• 11:54
  episode five, and I'm like, how are they gonna wrap this up?
• 11:58
  I'm interested to see, but I have a real idea where they're gonna go.
• 12:03
  I'm with you. I also don't really know, and I guess we
• 12:07
  just have to trust them. They've been good to us so far, and
• 12:09
  I'm sure it'll be fun. I don't I was thinking about the other day.
• 12:13
  I was like, I don't even know what, like what would a
• 12:16
  satisfying ending be to me? And I have no idea, you know,
• 12:20
  like and not in a crappy way, just like a oh like it's there's
• 12:24
  not like an like something. It feels like we've been going toward this whole
• 12:28
  time, right, you know what I mean? So yeah, I don't
• 12:31
  know, but it's been a fun ride and I've been super here for this
• 12:33
  season. I think they're they've been ratcheting up the drama quite a lot,
• 12:37
  which has been fun. Let me into that, So yeah, I like
• 12:41

• 13:46
  we thought we would do our top five movie jewelry draft. Yes,
• 13:52
  jewels in film. I guess. I love it. Yeah. Should be
• 13:58
  fun. Yeah, there's some there's something to choose from. It'll be good.
• 14:01
  Yeah. Yeah, I found I found a nice list. I even
• 14:03
  found a few weird ones. So I thought of one as I was clicking
• 14:09
  on this link to start this, and I immediately wrote it down and I
• 14:11
  will pick it because I'm excited. I'm very happy. Yeah, I'm excited
• 14:16
  for that. Can't wait, can't wait. I also can't wait to get
• 14:20
  started on this episode. Guys, we're really doing it. It's time for
• 14:24
  the Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring, and so we
• 14:28
  had to get one of our favorite fellows that we really do ship here on
• 14:33
  the pod with us. You know him and love him. Welcome back,
• 14:35
  Neil Gosh, what's up, buddy, Hey see, good to see you
• 14:43
  too. It's been so excited to have you back and to talk about such
• 14:48
  a fun movie. Oh, I know you can barely contain your excitement here.
• 14:54
  Oh bro, I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm clammy, I'm sweated.
• 14:56
  But it's going to be. He's been wanting to do this and it's
• 15:00
  the first episode, and that we've been doing this thing for a long time,
• 15:03
  so I can't even imagine. This has to be your biggest fandom,
• 15:07
  right, big, He's pretty nerdy about some stuff. Um, he freaked
• 15:15
  out, like the Harry Potter stuff, as you know. Sure, yeah,
• 15:18
  but it's probably between those two things. I mean, you love yourself
• 15:22
  some Marvel too, but yeah, I still think it's probably this. This
• 15:26
  was definitely my first big love. As far as like fantasy stuff like the
• 15:33
  Ninja Turtles were a different thing, I feel yeah, I think that I
• 15:37
  wouldn't be number one, But yeah, this was also just like pretty,
• 15:43
  I mean, it was revolutionary, so it's understandable that this is something to
• 15:48
  latch onto. Yeah. It also hit us at like the primetime based on
• 15:54
  when it came out right, um the movies. Anyhow, we can get
• 15:58
  into all this stuff at a later point. I'm very excited. Make sure
• 16:02
  to follow at the wise Ghosh on all the social media's to hear Nei'll be
• 16:06
  funny and pithy and sometimes very knowledgeable and great. So check it out.
• 16:11
  It's lovely and going home free music dot Com slash tour to find a place
• 16:15
  where you can go say hi to him, do it and all these boys
• 16:18
  out on the room. Yeah, that's true. That is true. That's
• 16:21
  fun. That's fun. Rob. I think you should get us started on
• 16:25
  the well, wait, what is the anniversary? It is the well this
• 16:29
  came out in the two thousand and one right, So the reason we're doing
• 16:33
  it is because the Return of the King is having its twentieth anniversary this year.
• 16:37
  That's right, that's right. That's very fun. Yep, yeah,
• 16:41
  very crazy. But Rob, can you get us started with a rough synopsis?
• 16:47
  Yes, the future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring,
• 16:52
  which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search
• 16:57
  for it. But fate is play. Is it in the hands of a
• 17:00
  young hobbit named Frodo Baggins, who inherits the Ring and steps into legend.
• 17:07
  A daunting task lies ahead for Frodo when he becomes the Ring bearer to destroy
• 17:11
  the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged.
• 17:19
  I would really really like to hear a whole like retelling of this story.
• 17:25
  It's sort of in that like kind of making fun of it, you know
• 17:29
  that really fun. Oh, it's very scary. You know, it's like
• 17:38
  the magic sword. Ben Stiller as White Goodman from Dodgeball retelling the story exactly.
• 17:47
  Oh, that would be fun. I like that idea. That's neat.
• 17:49
  Nice, Thank you, Rob. That was lovely great work. Let's
• 17:53
  go to Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have this coming in at a pretty rock solid
• 17:56
  ninety one percent. Wow, well, pretty good, pretty good. Audience
• 18:03
  members, just click that up a little bit to ninety five straight A.
• 18:08
  That's a soliday holiday. I love that. I love that. It's like
• 18:14
  every report guard I've ever seen. Okay, let's go in now and talk
• 18:18
  about what we think of this movie. Let's get into our hot hot takes.
• 18:22
  Oh, that's hot. That's a hot take. That's a hot tag.
• 18:26
  I will go first on this. I didn't want to like talk too
• 18:32
  much about this, but not too little. It's very confusing. I do
• 18:34
  love this story almost as much as any story I've ever heard. I think
• 18:40
  it is I say it quite a lot, and I think I think I
• 18:44
  really do mean it. I don't think I'm just saying it for attention completely,
• 18:47
  though I do desperately love attention, but it is. I think it's
• 18:51
  the greatest story ever told. I think it's fantastic. There's some of my
• 18:55
  favorite movies of all time, and the books are amazing. I reread them
• 18:59
  this very year, and they are such a delight. It had been a
• 19:03
  long time since I reread those. I just think so many of these tropes
• 19:08
  that came, and Tolkien invented a great many of them, and others he
• 19:14
  kind of stole from a number of different places, whether it's faiths like Christianity
• 19:18
  or Judaism, or you know, other stories we've told for a long time.
• 19:22
  I just think they're all awesome. As far as these movies are concerned,
• 19:26
  They're shot perfectly as far as I am concerned. The score is amongst
• 19:33
  my favorite things to accompany a movie ever. And I don't know, I
• 19:38
  can't remember how long they've been doing the rapped thing on Spotify, but at
• 19:42
  least the last several years. Mine is always Howard Shore and this music from
• 19:48
  the movies because I just like, I just like to pop them on when
• 19:52
  i'm reading or when I'm just hanging out or whatever. But they're almost always
• 19:56
  absolutely number one on my list of those things, which is fun. And
• 20:02
  yeah, I just think they did it in the only way they could have.
• 20:06
  They you know, they made them all at once, They filmed them
• 20:10
  all at once so no one could drop out or you know, any of
• 20:12
  these things. They had like a super great plan going in. You can
• 20:18
  obviously tell that these meant a ton to Peter Jackson and everyone else that was
• 20:22
  also involved. Just a ton of care went into them, and they It's
• 20:26
  not that they spared no expense, but they they did all the things they
• 20:30
  had to do to make it right, which I super super appreciate. It's
• 20:33
  got my favorite character in all of fiction, Sam Wise Gamgee, who I
• 20:37
  know, we'll talk about a ton. I just think he's the best in
• 20:40
  the whole world. I love him so much. And the Hobbits in general
• 20:44
  like people that I identify with, like not super special in any particular way,
• 20:48
  but just a solid hang and that is sort of what I want to
• 20:52
  be in my entire life. So I love it so much. I think
• 20:56
  it's fantastic. I think the like the fact that there's a very solid evil
• 21:03
  and good in the world is a very nice, comforting place to be.
• 21:07
  There's not like a ton of gray characters or plot points in the book.
• 21:11
  We have some of that, but not a ton, and not a lot
• 21:15
  in this movie for sure, but just the fact that that's out there,
• 21:18
  there's people working towards good and that, you know. I just the thing
• 21:22
  I love most about these books is sort of the thing I love about myth
• 21:26
  and fiction in general, is just humans can come up with stories like this
• 21:30
  to make sense of a world that doesn't make sense around us. And he
• 21:33
  came back from World War One and probably was pretty screwed up Tolkeen, you
• 21:38
  know, and needed some ways to get that out, and if this helped
• 21:42
  him at all, I'm super happy for that for him. But I'm selfishly
• 21:47
  really happy for myself because I just think they're amazing, super fun stories.
• 21:51
  And yeah, I think my hottest take is the changes that Peter Jackson made
• 21:56
  to this. I'm not going to say that they're all one hundred percent perfect,
• 22:00
  but I understand one hundred percent of them, and I don't know that
• 22:04
  you can adapt these to a movie any better than he did. Like I
• 22:07
  really, I just don't think it can happen. I think technology can change.
• 22:11
  But everything they did made sense, and the changes they made all moved
• 22:17
  to the story along in a more cohesive manner and just made it great.
• 22:19
  So surprise, I liked this a lot. It's very fun, smoking hot
• 22:25
  take buddy, I knew it was going to be scorching. Yes. Yeah.
• 22:30
  So I saw these movies when they came out, and I was very
• 22:33
  impressed with them as great story, great visual effects. But I was not
• 22:37
  as obsessed with these as a lot of people were, Like Ugues, I
• 22:41
  was casual fan of these films, much like the Star Wars stuff. I
• 22:45
  appreciate it, but it doesn't consume my entire being. Sure. But Man
• 22:52
  number nine movie on IMDb Top two fifty, well, it won four Oscars
• 22:59
  Best Visuals, Original Score, Makeup, and Cinematography. It was nominated for
• 23:03
  a bunch more. And yeah, I just thought it was a pretty amazing
• 23:08
  feat that Peter Jackson was able to create. Getting that many actors, a
• 23:14
  lot of them pretty well known big actors at the time, to give up
• 23:18
  that much time to film these things back to back to back. It just
• 23:22
  goes to show you how much they respected Peter Jackson's vision and also the source
• 23:27
  material, and I just thought he was able to create these worlds. They
• 23:32
  were super fun to look at. The Shire was so much fun. Mordor
• 23:37
  was terrifying. I thought each location he just really you felt like you were
• 23:41
  submersed in it. Howard Shore again, great music. My hot take maybe
• 23:49
  the most badass, terrifying thing I've ever seen a villain do. After that
• 23:55
  head Orc guy stabs Aragorn, he licks the blood off his blade. Then
• 24:00
  Ragorn spears him in the stomach. Dude pulls him closer, having the spear
• 24:06
  go deeper into his midsection. It's like the most badass thing I've air seen,
• 24:14
  terrifying. Yeah, I feel like that that move has been copied a
• 24:17
  couple times since this movie, but this is the first time I remember seeing
• 24:19
  that on screen, and it's so pretty metal. It probably happened in like
• 24:25
  a Samurai movie too or something, but but man, I'm with you.
• 24:27
  Is the first time I saw it. I loved it. I couldn't believe
• 24:30
  it. So cool. Yeah, so cool. Yeah, hot take,
• 24:33
  buddy, Thanks, I love it. Deal. What do you got,
• 24:37
  Bud? Yeah, I mean scorching hot, just like you guys, really
• 24:41
  going against the grain here. Now this is this was the book itself is
• 24:48
  a iconic piece of literature, especially in the fantasy genre. Basically defined a
• 24:52
  lot of things, the entire high fantasy genre that later based dungeons and dragons
• 24:59
  and pretty much everything that came after that, the general races and all of
• 25:03
  that stuff with orcs and elves and all that, all of that came from
• 25:06
  Tolkien. Like he is the architect of everything we know about the fantasy genre.
• 25:10
  So like this is, you know, a quintessential work. Obviously,
• 25:14
  the movie didn't come out until many, many many years after the book,
• 25:15
  but as Bux touched on, I think it was done absolute justice. I
• 25:19
  mean the way that it it's so much material just in this one book that
• 25:25
  my only right if I had one, is that the pacing in the first
• 25:27
  hour of the film is a little too fast, Like it happened too much.
• 25:32
  Stuff happens too quickly in the movie, and so it feels like it's
• 25:36
  happening over the course of a couple of days, when in reality it happened
• 25:37
  over the course of like several months in the book. So that's the only
• 25:41
  thing that I kind of like. The from leaving the Shire to getting to
• 25:45
  Breathe feels like it happens basically overnight, like in one nighttime you know that
• 25:49
  they're there, and that like process was a lot longer. So like there's
• 25:52
  some things that like the pacing was and it didn't take away from the enjoyment
• 25:56
  of the movie. It's just that it's a little bit of a discrepancy with
• 25:59
  the book in terms of how much time elapses, and it makes the journey
• 26:03
  feel a lot longer versus the film where it feels like everything happens kind of
• 26:07
  quickly. But I mean again, you're cramming like so much material into a
• 26:11
  even a three hour movie, is like it's just it's hard to do.
• 26:15
  So I think that all things considered, like you said, bugs, like
• 26:18
  the decisions made are really easy to understand why they chose to do that and
• 26:22
  how they chose to kind of condense these things down in order to get all
• 26:26
  that stuff into one film. The cast is rock solid. I think all
• 26:32
  the characters, even the side characters, are like quite fleshed out and well
• 26:36
  written. And that's always like when you're going from book material, it helps
• 26:38
  tremendously with that because you have those characters already written. You don't have to
• 26:41
  be conjuring that stuff up for these actors to come up with. And again
• 26:45
  to your point, bus about like the vision that was set forth for all
• 26:48
  three of these films and the cohesiveness of the trilogy as a whole is like
• 26:52
  really phenomenal and something that you see that ball drops so often with trilogy movies,
• 26:57
  Like obviously personally I feel this with Star Wars all the time. Is
• 27:02
  that like the sequel trilogy that just came out with Disney was a total mess,
• 27:07
  Like and it's it's a mess because there was no cohesive arc of how
• 27:11
  they saw that story going, and they gave you know, different directors the
• 27:15
  options to kind of do what they wanted to its storyline, and it just
• 27:18
  really became like super jumbled up and just not you know, not the best,
• 27:22
  not their best work. So having a trilogy where the story is so
• 27:27
  clearly architected out from the beginning and you're able to follow these things through and
• 27:33
  build tension appropriately and have all everything kind of like go the way that it
• 27:37
  does, it's great. It's a great time, and it's a great rewatch
• 27:40
  every single time I watched this film. So um, yeah, not a
• 27:44
  really scored from hot take here, but I like it to the tune of
• 27:47
  ninety one percent and or ninety five. That's too low, but I love
• 27:49
  it. Well, let's go talk about our favorite acting performance. It's time
• 27:57
  to name that they do. I'm the dude, so that's what you call
• 28:03
  me, you know that? Or who's dudes or duder or you know,
• 28:08
  eldu to Reno. If you're not into the whole brevity thing, Neil,
• 28:11
  why don't you go first for this one? Pal? You know? I
• 28:15
  mean, I obviously inclined to give this to mister Elijah, but just because
• 28:22
  by virtually the fact that he gets them the screen time, and he was
• 28:23
  pretty young in his career, though he was already pretty accomplished at the time
• 28:26
  that he did this. He does great, but there's like not really very
• 28:30
  many weak acting performances in this. All of the supporting cast is super strong.
• 28:34
  To put him down as best actor. I also think you could make
• 28:37
  pretty strong arguments that a lot of these share almost equal amounts of screen time,
• 28:44
  so it's kind of hard to differentiate between like who's supporting and who's you
• 28:47
  know, the lead, so to speak. But I did put him down
• 28:49
  as the leader I thought, you know, it's ultimately largely his story,
• 28:53
  so it seems appropriate. Totally love that great pick, Rob, would you
• 29:00
  I had to pick, I had to pick Ian McKellen is Gandolf. I
• 29:04
  thought I thought he was kind of perfectly cast for that role. Um.
• 29:11
  And I don't know that I was like super into Ian McKellen at the time.
• 29:15
  I think he had done. I think he was Magneto, like maybe
• 29:18
  the year before this came out. Yeah, I think so. Um,
• 29:22
  But before that, I wasn't like super I didn't know what was going on.
• 29:26
  I was just like, oh, so this guy is amazing, So
• 29:29
  I'm gonna watch everything this guy does. Um. But just yeah, such
• 29:33
  a such a big presence. And I know they did a lot of stuff
• 29:37
  with how they shot him to make it him look so much bigger than the
• 29:42
  proto and stuff, which was cool. But just uh, that voice,
• 29:47
  man, and when he would like go into the what do they call it,
• 29:49
  like the black something like when he would talk that really deep voice and
• 29:55
  we like that was always super freaky. Um. I don't know what that
• 29:57
  was called. Some language. Uh it was the language of yea of I
• 30:06
  don't remember what he says either. The black tongue. Yeah that was something
• 30:10
  like that. Yeah, but it probably Yeah, he's just incredible. Yeah,
• 30:17
  yeah, I love that. Yeah, that's a great pick. Great.
• 30:19
  I feel a little bit handcuffed on this one. I so just to
• 30:23
  expand on how much of a nerd I am about this, uh, these
• 30:26
  set of things. I took a college class. I paid money to read
• 30:33
  these books and talk about them. And it was called I can't remember what
• 30:37
  exactly what was called, but it was like Western literature in regard to Tolkien
• 30:42
  or something, and it was taught by this sweet old lady from England and
• 30:45
  it was just a delight. And we had to write about our favorite character
• 30:49
  from the stories. And I went in hard, hard on Samwi's Gamti,
• 30:56
  who we've already talked about. So I'm gonna pick Sean Aston. I just
• 31:00
  think he's amazing. I think he did a great job, so I gotta
• 31:03
  I gotta pick him so we can move forward. But I wrote like a
• 31:07
  ten page paper about why I thought Sam Wise was so great he and we'll
• 31:12
  get into all this, but he's a ring bearer himself and just is like
• 31:18
  the hufflepuffiest of all the characters. To take Harlance from a different series,
• 31:23
  but I just love him so much and I think he did a great job.
• 31:29
  Yes, did you say, had you read these books before you saw
• 31:33
  the films? I don't think so. I think I saw the first movie
• 31:38
  then read the book. I was trying to think about that, but it's
• 31:41
  so long ago that it's kind of hard for me to for sure remember m
• 31:47
  but I think that's how it went. I think we saw the first movie
• 31:51
  and then I was like, I'm in, let's go. So yeah,
• 31:56
  I think that's how it went. It's possible someone told me to read them
• 32:00
  first. I don't really remember, but I think I saw it and then
• 32:02
  read that. Cool, because I would like to submit a formal request to
• 32:07
  review a copy of this paper that you wrote, bro, if you can
• 32:10
  dig it I have, I would like to see I have the worst news.
• 32:13
  I looked for it hard, and I don't think I have it anymore,
• 32:16
  which is a Bummerandrea level lost to the World must say. I mean,
• 32:24
  it was like, and I feel so bad about this because I'm such
• 32:28
  a jerk. Probably the hardest paper I've ever worked on in my entire career.
• 32:32
  It was just like rollaway class. Yeah. Man, man, it
• 32:39
  was really fun though that that sweet little lady. I'm sure she's not around
• 32:44
  anymore, but man, she was awesome. And it was like a half
• 32:46
  a semester. It was a three credit class that was only half a semester,
• 32:51
  so it was every single day. It was wild. It was damns,
• 32:53
  it's a lot of Lord of the Rings. That's fun. Yeah,
• 32:57
  it was so fun. I loved it. It was great, felt very
• 33:00
  coddled and nice and that. So, yeah, I'm gonna pick Sean,
• 33:02
  asked him. But I agree, the rest of this crew is amazing,
• 33:07
  and maybe we just talk about him right now and let's talk about some to
• 33:10
  j who you got for this, Boddy? So for this one, I
• 33:15
  have Vigo Mortenson. I picked Aragorn as my supporting I thought, again,
• 33:22
  this was like spoiled with riches, right, because the entire fellowship that everybody
• 33:27
  kills their their roles. But I thought he was He brought the most like
• 33:30
  emotional depth, I thought to his character, and in general they kind of
• 33:36
  gave him the most to work with in terms of his character having a very
• 33:38
  deep, interesting backstory and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, he
• 33:42
  was. He was fantastic. This like was the movie that spawned like a
• 33:45
  whole generation of heart robby Vigo Mortenson fans, and so he you know,
• 33:50
  did the whole thing. He flipped the whole script on like nineties clean cut
• 33:52
  boy band into like dirty like you know, outdoorsy guys with five o'clock shadow
• 33:59
  and dirty leathers on. So I think it just smells bad. Credit for
• 34:06
  his piercing blue eyes and his unwavering bravery. Love that in that stint she
• 34:10
  could smell for a mile. Love it. Yeah, I couldn't have said
• 34:15
  it better myself, but I absolutely picked him as well. I thought he
• 34:19
  was such a stud. Um. Just to say, somebody else that hasn't
• 34:22
  been mentioned, Kate Blanchet is Gladriel. Um. Yeah, I thought she
• 34:30
  was wonderful. Doesn't get a ton of screen time, but she is the
• 34:32
  narrator and she has a very just soothing voice. I thought that they did
• 34:37
  a very good job picking her to narrate. I'm also loving h Rings of
• 34:45
  Power. The woman who was playing Gladriel. She is so good awesome.
• 34:50
  I can't remember her name. It's uh, it's Morphid Clark Morphid. I
• 34:54
  was like, it's something, yeah, you know, not I'm not super
• 34:59
  never se And then there it is. Yes, Chet was wonderful and she
• 35:05
  also had like a when she's offered the ring and she gets all crazy.
• 35:10
  That's that was a fun scene for sure. Have you watched The Rings of
• 35:16
  Power? Yeah, watched it. I've watched the first episode, maybe two.
• 35:22
  I hope I watched the rest of the series. I need to catch
• 35:24
  up on that, you do. That was wonderful and like I said,
• 35:28
  super casual lord of the Ring guy. But that was so much fun and
• 35:32
  just the production value alone, it's just it's bonkers. So it's crazy and
• 35:37
  you get some really rob We can talk about it at some point. I'll
• 35:40
  probably come up when we're talking about these but what she says in that scene
• 35:45
  is heavily featured previously in the Rings of Power as well. And that's real
• 35:50
  fun. That's real fun. Nice, that's awesome, It's nice. Yeah.
• 35:52
  Yeah, that's a great pick. Both of those are great picks.
• 35:54
  I love both of those. Uh. I just want to echo what both
• 35:59
  of you said. I mean, our dude as Frodo is perfect. I
• 36:06
  honestly, everyone's perfect, but he's so good. Elijah Wood so great.
• 36:09
  Um and Gandolf is just perfect in this as well. And we don't even
• 36:15
  get to see him at his craziest yet in this movie. Um, you
• 36:19
  know, I can still remember my nerdy friend asked me who my favorite character
• 36:22
  was in the first book, and I was like, I really like Gandolf.
• 36:25
  He's pretty great. And he's like, well, yeah, but he's
• 36:29
  like still a pretty murky character by the time you see him, so you're
• 36:31
  really gonna like him later. And I was like, oh, like you
• 36:36
  fine, Hugh and I but yeah, so love those But we should give
• 36:40
  a shout out to scene bean. Mister mister Sean been as good as Bremer.
• 36:47
  Uh, He's fantastic in this He was great. Is fighting the power
• 36:53
  of the ring as hard as he can. He's not winning a lot as
• 36:57
  we find out. Um a super fun character and obviously doesn't show up a
• 37:04
  lot in later. Dude takes three arrows to the mid section and just he's
• 37:12
  still He's still breathing for a while after that, what a step, still
• 37:15
  just mowing people down. And little did we know we were going to see
• 37:21
  him die in like movies every year for the rest of our times, movies
• 37:27
  and TV shows. I'll work, but not for a long time. I
• 37:35
  just done, like a get in get out, get on with your life
• 37:37
  kind of guy. But yeah, I thought he did a great job with
• 37:39
  that character who was really conflicted and fun um and then shout out to Mary
• 37:45
  and Pippin, who are just the best. Of course, have you listened
• 37:46
  to their podcast, by the way, No, I need to. I
• 37:51
  need to. I've been kind of you know, like that's it, but
• 37:53
  I've heard it because of rop being in the same bar. Totally. Yeah,
• 37:58
  I kind of I didn't want before I knew we were going to do
• 38:02
  these podcasts, so I just didn't want to steal everyone else's takes on everything.
• 38:06
  So I've been I just read the books and I've just been kind of
• 38:07
  chilling. But now now I can go in on it. It'll be fun.
• 38:10
  You guys seen in the I think it was in the DVDs of these
• 38:15
  in the like extra features, there was a prank phone call between Don Monahan
• 38:20
  and Elijah Wood. Have you guys seen this video? THERE'DEO, okay,
• 38:23
  this it's fantastic. Please after we're done with this, look it up on
• 38:28
  you to I'll send the link to you guys. It's basically it's Don Monahan
• 38:31
  who plays Mary, and he calls Elijah Wood when they were like filming other
• 38:36
  stuff after the movie came out, and he pretends to be like a German
• 38:39
  radio DJ, and they're filming both sides, but Elijah Wood can't see his
• 38:45
  so like there you're seeing both of their reactions to this conversation. But for
• 38:49
  Elijah Wood, it's just a phone call, and so it's it's absolutely hysterical.
• 38:54
  I've watched it many many times, and I will send it to you
• 38:58
  guys because it's great fun. Yeah, yeah, send me a link because
• 39:01
  I'll throw it in the show notes. Yeah, that's great. What other
• 39:07
  runners up? Do we have any runners up for you boys? For sure?
• 39:10
  Man? Um, John Rees Davies is gimili give so great, Um
• 39:17
  so great, He's wonderful. Um. Christopher Lee is surman. Yeah.
• 39:23
  Man, well, I was gonna say Christopher Lee, and he's his whole
• 39:29
  story is absolutely bonkers. Like just deep dive his Wikipedia sometime because every single
• 39:36
  thing about his life sounds made up. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous.
• 39:39
  He's like related to Charlemagne, He like fought in the Wars, he played
• 39:45
  in a rock band, Like everything about him sounds completely fake. It's crazy.
• 39:52
  Yeah, he was He was so good in this very very scary,
• 39:54
  especially in that wizard fight. M Yes, the wizard fight was so fun,
• 40:01
  like spindly fingers when he's like controlling the has his hand over the over
• 40:06
  the order, all that stuff, like pointy black fingernails. It's great.
• 40:09
  And that voice is just so crazy great voice. It's so really good voice.
• 40:15
  Um Ian Holme is Bilbo. I thought he was great. He just
• 40:19
  passed away I think last year. Yeah, yeah, so I found out
• 40:24
  in the trivia that he was the voice of Frodo when they did the radio
• 40:30
  play for BBC at one point, which I want to get my hands on
• 40:34
  if anyone knows how to find a BBC play, I would love to hear
• 40:37
  that. Yeah. Is that sounds fun? But that's kind of neat that
• 40:40
  he did that and then got to play Bilbo. It's cool. I like
• 40:45
  that. Um and then I who else is there? Orlando Bloom was great?
• 40:51
  Yeah. Um, he doesn't get to do a ton in this first
• 40:53
  one, especially, but he's really fun. I always really liked. Yeah,
• 40:57
  he was a nobody at that point, very much like an elf.
• 41:00
  Yeah. I think he good looking guy had just graduated acting school or something,
• 41:06
  or maybe it was about too when he got cast or something like that.
• 41:09
  There's some story out there about that. Uh and shout out to Sarah
• 41:13
  mcclead who is Rosie Cotton, who just be still my beating heart. She's
• 41:21
  so cute, so funny. H Hugo Weaving as l Ron is another one,
• 41:25
  who's I mean, he's a great call. Duh. Yes, absolutely,
• 41:30
  he looks like an elf. He looks like he would be for sure.
• 41:34
  That was a good casting calls so good. What did you guys think
• 41:37
  about liv Tyler? I'm into it. Yeah, though she was great.
• 41:43
  I thought you did a great job, Yeah, for sure, and kind
• 41:45
  of like tough. Not a lot of lady parts in the book, a
• 41:51
  little bit of the product of his time. I mean, you know,
• 41:53
  she's mentioned, but they gave her more to do, which again I appreciate,
• 41:58
  you know, a kind of update to get a little bit another one
• 42:00
  of those changes that felt good and right because she did an interview with Stephen
• 42:07
  Colbert, who's like a big Lord of the Rings fan. At some point
• 42:10
  this is like fairly recent, and at some point she's like like cradling him
• 42:15
  like a baby, like he's like in her lap, and she's like speaking
• 42:19
  Elvish. It's very funny. Yah. Yeah, he's like a huge nerd
• 42:27
  like Tolkien guy, right, I think just in general he's a huge yeah
• 42:30
  right, yeah, yeah. He goes deep on the Lord. Like the
• 42:32
  references that he makes sometimes in passing during jokes. I'm like, that is
• 42:36
  not casual knowledge. Man. You know these books like a way over my
• 42:40
  head. For sure. It's still Merillian stuff. All that's the same of
• 42:46
  the true man lad right there. Yeah, I still haven't got all the
• 42:51
  way through that someday someday, but yeah, I think we've named every that's
• 42:57
  pretty much everybody cool? Great, All right, y'all did y'all did great?
• 43:01
  Well, why don't we pick our favorite scene and let's choose so Dingas.
• 43:09
  It's quite simple, really, Bengass, I could talk about my Dingas
• 43:13
  all eye long, tough one. What do you got for this one?
• 43:15
  Neil? So I, okay, well, I don't know that my pick
• 43:19
  is going to be everybody's pick, but this is a scene that to me
• 43:22
  is like super iconic, and the visuals in the scene stuck with me forever,
• 43:27
  and I still think to this day that is the one of the best
• 43:29
  scenes in any like sci fi fantasy genre film, and it is when Gandolf
• 43:34
  is fighting the ball Rock actually that entire thing. So the entry of the
• 43:37
  ball Rog we see only the glowing like flame down the hallway. We don't
• 43:43
  see what it actually looks like. And then it's they're being sort of chased
• 43:45
  around and we don't see like the reveal of it until it comes through the
• 43:49
  flames, and it's just it's like the camera work is great too, because
• 43:52
  it zooms like Gandolf turns and looks at the fire and it's sort of eye
• 43:57
  level with him, and it zooms in and then just tramatically pans upwards and
• 44:00
  you see how big this thing is and it just emerged the fire and then
• 44:05
  that whole fight is phenomenal. But I'm like a big sucker for like scale,
• 44:08
  especially with like, you know, big epic moments, bad guy fights
• 44:13
  that kind of thing. So love that whole scene. And then obviously the
• 44:17
  whip and all that stuff, and the follow up of what we see happens
• 44:21
  afterwards and the next film is also really cool. But yeah, that's my
• 44:24
  that's probably my personally favorite scene in this movie. I think is like one
• 44:28
  of the most striking visuals too. Is like the glowing white of Gandal's staff
• 44:31
  and then the flames and black smoke coming off of the ball rock. Kind
• 44:35
  of it's great, dude, and you get I mean, it's It's the
• 44:38
  most iconic line for me in the movie, in that scene. And I
• 44:45
  will say though, there was the only time where I was like, oh,
• 44:49
  the cgi isn't one hundred percent and it was weird. It was in
• 44:52
  that scene and it's not the ball rock. It was when they're on the
• 44:58
  stairs and he's like leaning forward and then he comes up, then the whole
• 45:01
  thing looks a little rough for the only time in a twenty two year old
• 45:07
  movie where you know, there's a ton of see so much. Yeah,
• 45:12
  Like that was the only time where I was like, that wasn't a hundred
• 45:15
  percent great? Do you know what I mean? I mean, appreciate everything
• 45:20
  else more. Absolutely, I was like, oh yeah, wow, okay,
• 45:23
  Yeah, It's like, was that really that hard? Because you've done
• 45:28
  so many crazy things and just them moving on a little staircase. Yeah,
• 45:34
  there's saying yeah, we're done, or like did we need to see that?
• 45:38
  You know what I mean? Like, couldn't we have cut around that
• 45:42
  one shot? Still got the gist of it or whatever. You know,
• 45:45
  Yeah, that is interesting. I felt the same way. But I am
• 45:49
  totally fine picking Gandolf going up against ball Rog for the favorite scene. It's
• 45:57
  amazing. I would also say a her up is that Orc licking the blade
• 46:01
  might be my favorite thing, which I didn't even really remember it. It
• 46:06
  just really impressed me. This last very right unbelievable. I kind of was
• 46:15
  like, I can't believe I didn't remember that because it was so nuts um
• 46:20
  and there's a lot going on with that player is I mean, I can
• 46:22
  say there's some underrated fight choreography in that whole Orc ambush. Actually, Like
• 46:27
  in that same fight where he's fighting the Orca, he gets the he throws
• 46:30
  the shield that has the two points and it pins him against the tree.
• 46:34
  Yeah, that's a great that's a great move. And he comes in him
• 46:37
  with the sword so he's as if he's going to decapitate him, and he
• 46:38
  slips underneath it. But that's like a piece of fight choreography. It's pretty
• 46:42
  creative. You don't really see that move all the time. I also love
• 46:45
  that one shot above them as they're going down the hill to Yeah, right
• 46:50
  before that, as the orcs are kind of streaming down. That's such a
• 46:52
  cool, so cool. I also really enjoyed when Arwin is saving Frodo,
• 46:59
  just her white horse being chased by by the ring Raiths. That was very
• 47:02
  cinematic. Um, it was just the imagery was very very cool. And
• 47:07
  then she drops that flood on them, which was fun underrated. I forgot
• 47:14
  about that. I forgot about that every time I watched, and I'm like,
• 47:15
  that is super cool, like power that that she flexes for like a
• 47:21
  second is to just like sum up the flood. It's pretty awesome. Yeah,
• 47:24
  and it's like the horses, which is so cool, right, Yeah,
• 47:28
  I love how they did that to like, yeah, really neat you
• 47:30
  guys on that. I mean, it's really it's this is difficult. I
• 47:37
  want to pick the entire movie. I think you guys are probably right on
• 47:40
  the bridge the bridge, and especially if we include sort of the fight before
• 47:45
  the bridge running to the bridge, then I think it's definitely that. I
• 47:50
  mean that it's also like kind of the climax of the movie. It's one
• 47:53
  of them for sure. UM love everything about that. Love them have to
• 47:59
  like keep going. Um. I super like the that end that we talked
• 48:04
  about too, with the big fight with all the Orcs. Probably truly the
• 48:08
  climax of the movie. I'm really now that I'm saying it, I'm saying
• 48:13
  climax too much. Um, But yes, love that as well. Or
• 48:17
  the weather Top scene is so badass. I love that whole thing. So
• 48:23
  Weathertop is that big thing that they're on top of where the raiths surround them
• 48:29
  and that's where Frodo gets stabbed and all that stuff. Love that scene.
• 48:34
  And that's a little different than the book too, or at least I read
• 48:38
  it and I was like, oh, they did a cool interpretation of this
• 48:40
  a little bit, which is neat. Um really liked that the first time
• 48:45
  that we see like what it looks like from Frodo's point of view with the
• 48:49
  ring on, and like how he sees the rates behind like the hoods,
• 48:52
  which is pretty cool. So neat so neat. Really like that stuff a
• 48:58
  lot. And then I love Robbie mentioned it earlier, but when gladrielist hawking
• 49:05
  to Frodo, Um, and probably I liked it even more on this after
• 49:08
  having more time with Gladriel in the Rings of Power, but when she's talking
• 49:14
  to him and she refuses the ring and says all that stuff. She has
• 49:19
  her like big moments and you know, talks about I passed the test and
• 49:22
  I'll diminish into the West and all that stuff. It's just so cool.
• 49:25
  I love that, And that is just so ripe with subtext and you know,
• 49:31
  all this crazy stuff happening. So I love that as well. I
• 49:37
  had one other runner up was just the fellowship forming at the l Ron Council.
• 49:43
  That was gonna be my That was the other one I was fighting with.
• 49:45
  For first. It was fun because you got so great there were a
• 49:47
  lot of things going on, but you get bor amir Um, you see
• 49:52
  that he is kind of like I want this ring And then totally then it
• 49:59
  was a Ganda that has to go in and start screaming at him again.
• 50:02
  I think that's what happens basically, Yeah, which is like one of the
• 50:06
  more like you know times we see Gandolf get his dand up like a little
• 50:12
  bit. Yeah, totally, And there's like a glance between between Gandolf and
• 50:15
  el Rond in that scene, like as soon as Total starts talking about like
• 50:19
  oh we should use our enemies thing, and like you see them kind of
• 50:22
  look at each other like we know how this story ends, you know.
• 50:24
  Yeah, well, and they had just said we put the trust into man,
• 50:28
  and obviously Rond is like, good, fuck with that, my dude.
• 50:32
  Yeah, you know, look cool. But it was just fun to
• 50:36
  see when finally, you know, he speaks up and then everybody hears and're
• 50:42
  like yeah, and then they all come together and it's kind of hypes.
• 50:45
  Yeah, it was a good it's a good scene. I every time I
• 50:49
  rewatched that. The they go to a shot of Gandolf and the pity in
• 50:54
  his eyes because he knows that Frodo's gonna take this. And this is also
• 50:59
  a aviation from the book because in the book, Froto is pretty sure he's
• 51:02
  gonna take it the whole way, the whole time. But in this they
• 51:06
  make it like he has agency and chooses that, and even though Gandolf thinks
• 51:10
  that's the right choice, so you can just tell him being like damn it,
• 51:14
  like I don't this In a lot of ways, this probably doesn't work
• 51:16
  for you, you know, or in a lot of you know, the
• 51:21
  chances aren't great or whatever. But I just love that. Yeah, that's
• 51:23
  a good one for sure. I think I take the bridge, though,
• 51:25
  I think you guys are probably right. I'm down with that. Yeah,
• 51:30
  by the bridge, Yeah, I mean I can be convinced otherwise, but
• 51:32
  that's the one visually that always sticks in my mind for sure, And I
• 51:37
  mean it has my my favorite quote. So I feel like we should pick
• 51:42
  that, yeah, and go to our favorite quote. So let's go to
• 51:45
  show me to today, Rob. Do you want to say that favorite quote?
• 51:57
  Then, Robs want to stand up and deliver that. Yes, please,
• 52:01
  Rob, get your wizard staff. I know you have. I can't
• 52:05
  collect one of the ten around your home. Okay, I don't have any
• 52:08
  wizards. Has I do a wizard staff? Dude? I think Rupp has
• 52:13
  several. I've seen it. It's great. The one that he has is
• 52:17
  accurate, yes, lovely, but you shall not pass is pretty pretty intense.
• 52:24
  Good. Um. There was one that was longer that he starts with
• 52:29
  you cannot pass, right, Yeah, you cannot pass the flames and barrow
• 52:35
  you know, and then he says that he has the carrier of the flame
• 52:38
  and all these things. I didn't. I don't think I wrote the whole
• 52:42
  thing down, but yet cool. Yeah, that line's bad as it's awesome,
• 52:45
  bad ass. Also fun that we get to do back to back pods
• 52:49
  with it, because we just did forgetting Sarah Marshall where he references it was
• 52:54
  about to mention that too. That's great, we just did. Or maybe
• 53:00
  that was two pods. It'll be two pods ago because we have a movie
• 53:02
  game. Yes, yes, yes, I don't remember things, Neil.
• 53:06
  Why don't you throw some out, buddy. I wrote down a bunch,
• 53:08
  some long, some not so long, the from sort of roughly from the
• 53:14
  beginning. I had the proto saying you're late, and then a wizard has
• 53:19
  never made proto Baggins, nor is he early. He arrives precisely what he
• 53:22
  means too. It's a good one, yes, and that's our introduction to
• 53:28
  Gandalf right, that's the first time we see him, right, Yeah,
• 53:30
  that's like pretty much right at the beginning, which it's a great quoted by
• 53:36
  me and others, so nice. That's a good one. I wrote this
• 53:40
  one down and I wrote I was taking notes on my phone, so this
• 53:44
  is what the autocorrect wrote, and I'm gonna read it to you as that
• 53:51
  Volvo Basins. I am not some conjure of cheap tricks. Vole Basin,
• 54:00
  It's amazing. That's my task. Uh keeper's secret. Keep it safe is
• 54:07
  something I quote also a lot, very good one you did just to me
• 54:09
  recently. I did, Indeed, I did. Indeed the Sam Wise saying
• 54:15
  I ain't dropping No, Weiaves are honest. I wrote that one down too.
• 54:21
  That's an amazing quote. The wes her hottest um Sam's quote of this
• 54:28
  is it if I take one more step, I'll be the furthest from home
• 54:30
  I've ever been. It's always a little heart wrenching moment. I don't think
• 54:36
  that's in the book either. I think that's an original line, which is
• 54:38
  Wow, that's yeah, that's a great line. I could be wrong about
• 54:42
  that, but I think that's right. I have one of you guys might
• 54:45
  have mentioned this, Gladuels, even the smallest person can change the course of
• 54:49
  the future. I thought that's a great line. Love that line. So
• 54:52
  um, I have the what about breakfast, we've had it, We've had
• 54:58
  one yes quote about second breath. Just the matter of fact way that Pip
• 55:01
  says that is so funny to me. Every single time his delivery is so
• 55:06
  perfect, and he's got like three more after that, right because he says,
• 55:10
  yeah about those Yeah, Um, that one's a good one. I
• 55:20
  have l Ron's Uh. I was there, Gandalf, I was there three
• 55:23
  thousand years ago when a Silder took the ring. I was there when the
• 55:27
  strength of men failed. It's good too, um. And then I should
• 55:31
  have mentioned that first scene, by the way, that entire prologue is bad
• 55:36
  as Yeah, that is even just by itself, it's so good flash Honestly,
• 55:39
  I also really liked the beginning of the movie Flashback. You don't see
• 55:44
  el Ron's perspective, and so it seems like it ends differently. And then
• 55:47
  l Ron tells his side of the story and you see like that it was
• 55:51
  actually a Silder that you know, didn't do the thing he was supposed to
• 55:53
  be. Sorry, no, no, that was a good interjection. Um.
• 55:58
  I also have our wins. If you want him, come and claim
• 56:00
  him. That's a great line, so bad as come and claim him.
• 56:06
  And then, of course from the Barog fight, I have thee shall not
• 56:09
  pass as well as fly you fools, which is also something I think is
• 56:15
  that was his last line, right, yeah, right off the edge.
• 56:20
  Yeah. The last one I have here is is like a full paragraph.
• 56:22
  And I suspect bugs that you have this on yours, So why don't you
• 56:25
  roll into yours? Which one tell me I have so many? It is
• 56:32
  the I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of
• 56:36
  this had happened. And then gandals, I wish the ring had never come
• 56:39
  to me. I wish none of this had happened. So do all who
• 56:43
  live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.
• 56:45
  All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given
• 56:49
  to us. I mean, come on, it is the great Fever.
• 56:54
  I love it so much that I could cry. This is a free giveaway
• 56:58
  for later. I could cry right now reading that I love it. That's
• 57:00
  Rob Red. That is an amazing quote. And that's a quote that echoes
• 57:06
  true in real life often, especially when like bad things are happening around us.
• 57:13
  So I think I've seen that come up more in the last three years
• 57:16
  than I would have preferred to. Absolutely, but it is an amazing I
• 57:22
  think it kind of speaks to the crazy stuff. He's soap, you know,
• 57:27
  like I sort of had mentioned, Um, I haven't done a super
• 57:30
  deep dive into his life and if he talked about that stuff, but it
• 57:34
  has to have I mean World War One where he was was just a nightmare
• 57:39
  in so many ways. So yeah, I love that. Uh Rob,
• 57:44
  did you get to do? You did your one? But in one?
• 57:46
  Oh yeah, I thought it was funny, like it's a legoless is like
• 57:52
  lembus. One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man.
• 57:58
  Mary says to Pippin, how many did you eat? Four? And
• 58:00
  then he burps and he's like, great, it's good. Um. I
• 58:07
  had a moment where I was like, am I partly fat? Because these
• 58:09
  hobbits like really over it is that? Have I taken this on? One
• 58:15
  that I related to quite a bit was after Gimios out Nobody tosses a dwarf.
• 58:22
  He leaps but is bouncing off the edge, so Leglis grabs his beard.
• 58:25
  He says, not the beard. Yeah, so great. I've had
• 58:31
  to say that to my kids. A lot um um, just one ring
• 58:39
  to rule them all is kind of pretty iconic. Hell yeah, I think
• 58:46
  um are when um when she is talking to Vigo and she's like, I
• 58:54
  would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world.
• 58:59
  A loan, He's still my heart? That real sexy um and uh
• 59:08
  Sam Wise. I made a promise, mister frodo a promise. Don't you
• 59:13
  leave him? Samwise gamgee, And I don't mean to. I don't mean
• 59:16
  to, all right, Oh, I don't mean Yeah, you can keep
• 59:23
  saying some more, buddy, Uh okay, so many. Uh, don't
• 59:29
  worry Sam. Rosie knows an idiot when she sees one. He taughts us
• 59:32
  and then goes, does she just so worried? I love that. That
• 59:37
  may one thing that I will have a tough time with throughout these is some
• 59:42
  of them will be in the extended cut and some won't. And I won't
• 59:45
  remember exactly which is which because I almost always watched the extended cut, So
• 59:50
  you know. Uh, they're sitting down at the Prancing Pony and he sits
• 59:54
  down and he's like, what is that? This, my friend? Is
• 59:59
  a point. It comes in points. I'm getting one. I love that.
• 1:00:04
  I think that's so fun. Uh we have I think it's l yeah,
• 1:00:10
  l Ron saying cast it into the fire and it should. I think
• 1:00:15
  that's such a funny read of context. I love it. Uh we have
• 1:00:21
  the It is a gift love that that Boromere says and very memable. One
• 1:00:28
  does not simply walk into more door. One does not simply walk into more
• 1:00:32
  door. Beautiful love that. Uh, if by my life or death I
• 1:00:38
  can protect you, I will. You have my sword, and you have
• 1:00:42
  my bow and my axe. I love that, I think, I say,
• 1:00:47
  and my axe probably more in my regular life than I should. I
• 1:00:52
  don't have an axe. I will because that's totally hilarious when that's thrown in
• 1:01:00
  there without any like grammatical context, because it's still same thing. Love it,
• 1:01:05
  yep, I will do it. Like if someone's like, hey,
• 1:01:07
  you guys want to play games tonight, and I'll just be like, and
• 1:01:10
  my axe, you know, I was like, oh okay, I was
• 1:01:13
  gonna break ask when you would use that? Yeah, I saw you'd be
• 1:01:17
  confused. And my axe my acts. I also love this line. This
• 1:01:28
  is such a great line. It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he
• 1:01:31
  had the chance. Speaking of Gallum pity, it was pity that stayed Buildbo's
• 1:01:37
  hands. Many who live deserve death, and some who die deserve life.
• 1:01:40
  Can you give it to them? Fro though, don't be too eager to
• 1:01:44
  deal out death and judgment. Oh I love that. Yeah, I think
• 1:01:47
  that's beautifully said he had a lot more to that as well. I thought
• 1:01:51
  that was a really good little monologue. Yeah. Yeah, it's super fun
• 1:01:54
  because that's right before the I wish the Ring had never come to me and
• 1:01:58
  all that stuff. That's just delightful. Um, fool of a took is
• 1:02:02
  a thing that comes out a lot in my everyday life. Uh oh.
• 1:02:09
  I just thought this reading was so fun. When he's reading the journal of
• 1:02:15
  is it Duran that he's reading? I think it's Duran. I get names
• 1:02:19
  mixed up, which present no one but in the mind when they're at the
• 1:02:22
  tomb and he's like drums in the deep, we cannot get out, the
• 1:02:25
  shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out they are coming. Wasn't
• 1:02:30
  it Balin or something? Balin? Yeah, Balin Duran because it's Duran's bain.
• 1:02:36
  So Duran was the one we see way back in the day. Sorry,
• 1:02:39
  you're right, you're right, Coco, Coco. I'm not going to
• 1:02:44
  read her entire speech, but it's all do it read a speech you're talking
• 1:02:49
  about the very very first one, the very beginning. No, No,
• 1:02:52
  I'm actually talking about when she turns down the ring. Is that that she
• 1:03:00
  just says, like you offer it to me freely. I don't deny.
• 1:03:04
  My heart has greatly desired this. In place of a dark lord, you
• 1:03:07
  would have a queen, not dark, but beautiful as the morn, treacherous
• 1:03:10
  as the sea, stronger than the foundations of the earth. Oh, she'll
• 1:03:15
  love me and despair there is, and then she chills. I passed the
• 1:03:22
  test. I will diminish and go into the west and remain glad real.
• 1:03:27
  Nice, it's good, it's beautiful. I thought she did a great job.
• 1:03:30
  And I won't go into it now because Neil hasn't seen it. But
• 1:03:35
  I'm sorry after seeing Neil listen to me. I will never give you a
• 1:03:40
  hard time about not being caught up on a show. I won't cast that
• 1:03:44
  stone from my glass house, not with you, Neil. It's been trying
• 1:03:50
  to get me to watch Clone Wars. I was gonna say, getting at
• 1:03:52
  here, there's some subtexts. It's the whole thing. It's I've tried,
• 1:03:59
  I've failed, and we're here to talk about happy things. Um. I
• 1:04:01
  like to remind him every time he busts out the twenty two movie MCU for
• 1:04:05
  the fifteenth time. Nice. Another quote I liked, um Uh it's uh.
• 1:04:15
  It is when Ericorn is talking to Boromere as Boromere is passing, and
• 1:04:19
  he says, I do not know what strength is in my blood, but
• 1:04:23
  I swear to you I will not let the White City fall. Not nor
• 1:04:26
  are people fail our people, our people. I would have followed you,
• 1:04:30
  my brother, my captain, my king. That line. I think that's
• 1:04:35
  so great and it's so nice to see them like, because you know,
• 1:04:40
  they challenge, right, like Ericorn's existence challenges Boromir's spot in the world and
• 1:04:46
  all these things. Right, so it's it's tough, um, but yeah,
• 1:04:51
  and then I love the I think it's the Is it the last line
• 1:04:55
  of this movie? It's close to it. But leave all that can be
• 1:04:58
  spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some handsome orc. Yeah.
• 1:05:02
  That fun like it. I have more, but I'll stop. I mean,
• 1:05:12
  we're so great. I gotta nowhere to be man. You just go
• 1:05:15
  for yeah, you do you? Oh? I don't know if there's to
• 1:05:23
  keep it secrecy of you said that one. Oh. I actually really love
• 1:05:30
  this. Uh. When Bilbo says I'm old Gandolf, I know I don't
• 1:05:34
  look at but I'm beginning to feel it my heart. I feel thin sort
• 1:05:39
  of stretched like butter scraped over too much bread. I just think that's such
• 1:05:44
  a great especially for a hobbit of folk that just love food more than anything.
• 1:05:49
  Basically like food and companionship, that's their whole thing, right, And
• 1:05:54
  to use that metaphor for him feeling because he's lived way too long because of
• 1:06:00
  this ring that he has and stuff and he doesn't know that but he does
• 1:06:03
  kind of, I don't know. I love that. I think that's great.
• 1:06:05
  I thought that was a really good Uh. That description is so like
• 1:06:11
  you can it's a really really like visual description, like you can picture exactly
• 1:06:15
  what that looks and feels like. Yeah, and so like to describe something
• 1:06:18
  like your own life in such terms is like not a common thing, and
• 1:06:23
  yet that that sort of metaphor works really really well. That is a good
• 1:06:28
  line. That's a great one. Yeah. And then noticed that you have
• 1:06:30
  the Fellowship of the Ring poster literally right behind you there it is to the
• 1:06:35
  king. Okay, I couldn't see it because the sword is broken. Yeah.
• 1:06:40
  Yeah, yeah, Well it's like that avant garde kind of one.
• 1:06:43
  That was the first one I saw from those posters, and I was like
• 1:06:45
  getting that, let's look at these other ones as well. Love it so
• 1:06:49
  yes, Uh, I want to see mountains again, Gandalf mountains crackspap every
• 1:06:57
  time. Uh. And then another one. I really like. That is
• 1:07:00
  directly from the books. And it's so funny. I can remember thinking it
• 1:07:04
  was so smart when I was like a little kid reading this book. But
• 1:07:08
  I don't know half of you as well as I would like, and I
• 1:07:11
  like less than half of you, less than half of well, half as
• 1:07:13
  well as you deserve. That's so funny, like, and everyone's just like,
• 1:07:18
  wait a second? Did he just wait a second? I love that.
• 1:07:23
  I think it's so fun. And then just the one ring to rule
• 1:07:26
  them all, one ring to bind them, one ring to wait, I
• 1:07:30
  think I said it out of order. I'm all jacked up, guys.
• 1:07:33
  I had one ring, Yeah, you said it, one ring to rule
• 1:07:36
  them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all
• 1:07:40
  and in the darkness find them and needn't the darkness spite them? Yeah?
• 1:07:44
  I love that. I think that's cool. That's very cool, very cool.
• 1:07:47
  All right, Well, why don't we go to bugs boohoo moments?
• 1:07:53
  Strong men also cry. I failed at this, you, guys, I
• 1:08:00
  didn't really think about it too much, to the point where I was trying
• 1:08:03
  to come up with them as you were doing quotes, and so I was
• 1:08:06
  like, dude, just keep going. Um So I feel bad about it.
• 1:08:13
  Just read what I have, maybe because I feel like because I only
• 1:08:17
  was able to, like when I actually wrote in my notes, I only
• 1:08:21
  wrote three, six, eight, and I think there's probably so many more,
• 1:08:29
  just like the first time we see this character, and just like,
• 1:08:32
  I feel like it's way more than I would have. So I feel like
• 1:08:36
  you should give it. Oh for sure, I bet we're going double digits
• 1:08:43
  like minimum. Oh yeah, I mean not triple digits, but double digits
• 1:08:47
  for sure. Yeah, that's fair. I'll just go through them. So
• 1:08:53
  just go through cools. So I think I put down not eight eight,
• 1:08:56
  So how many more was it more? Okay, cool, let's go.
• 1:09:02
  Let's do it. I have twenty four I think, okay, just start.
• 1:09:08
  Yeah, but it's like you said, the first one is immediately when
• 1:09:13
  the music starts and the prologue. This is ridiculous. I'm a monster.
• 1:09:19
  I did have intro of Gandolf. That was one intro that I had.
• 1:09:24
  Yep, I have Gandolf with a heart emoticon. Yeah. Also the Shire
• 1:09:29
  music. I listen to this music so much that like even the cues of
• 1:09:31
  that get me. I just love it. Um. Let's see, I'm
• 1:09:41
  old Gandolf when he talks about the butter over too much bread, and really
• 1:09:45
  I just cried because we should always have enough butter. Um. So that
• 1:09:47
  was the big reason I thought up an ending for my book. And he
• 1:09:51
  lived happily ever after till the ending of his days. Love it and he's
• 1:09:56
  free for the first time in years. Love that U when he reads the
• 1:10:01
  whole thing, one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
• 1:10:03
  bring them all narcness and behind them. When he offers the ring to
• 1:10:10
  Gandolf, and Gandolf is like, you can't do that, and like he
• 1:10:14
  has his moment of kind of wanting to take it, and we find out
• 1:10:17
  that's a bad idea too. Love that. I think that's great when we
• 1:10:24
  meet Strider. So when Strider is in the Prancing Pony and then he saves
• 1:10:29
  them and there's the attack and all that definitely didn't Arwen saving him. If
• 1:10:36
  you want him, come and claim him so badass. Love that so much.
• 1:10:42
  And then she says something to him like no frodo don't go into the
• 1:10:45
  darkness, not now, because it's after the Wraiths go away and all that
• 1:10:50
  stuff, and he kind of fades and then wakes up in Rivendell. I
• 1:10:55
  love that so much. I think that's beautiful. He sees old man Billball.
• 1:11:03
  I rob the line that you said, I'd rather share one lifetime with
• 1:11:09
  you than face all the ages of this world alone. That one's immortal life.
• 1:11:13
  That's how I feel about both of you. So take that way you
• 1:11:15
  will. Uh. When I loved this When Legolas like stands up for Ragorn,
• 1:11:24
  he's like, that's no mere ranger, He's Aragorn, son of Rathorne.
• 1:11:27
  You owe him your allegiance. Um. And then you know, we
• 1:11:30
  get the habadad Legolas where he tells him to sit down. It's so nice.
• 1:11:33
  I love that moment. Uh, frodo. I will take the Ring
• 1:11:39
  to Mortor, though I do not know the way, and all that falls,
• 1:11:43
  so that join the fellowship, right fellowship. And it gets me when
• 1:11:49
  the like Sam shows up because he's eaves dropped, and then the other Hobbits
• 1:11:55
  show up. They're so Pethsky. I love them. They're fun um.
• 1:12:00
  I wish the Ring had never come to me that whole thing and that you
• 1:12:02
  know, decide what to do that you shall not pass, followed by the
• 1:12:09
  great music and that and all that stuff, and they're all very sad.
• 1:12:16
  I promise Scandal if I would. You can't help me, Sam, not
• 1:12:20
  this time. You know, that was very sad. Bomer tries to take
• 1:12:26
  the ring and then immediately regrets it, and Frodo fleas that got me.
• 1:12:30
  The rest of these are like that scene when Argorn says, I would have
• 1:12:34
  gone with you to the end, the very fires of Mordor Wolfe very tough,
• 1:12:41
  but also it wouldn't have worked if you'd had, if they'd just stuck
• 1:12:45
  together. So it all happens how it needs to happen. Um, when
• 1:12:49
  they see Sam and Frodo on the other side of the river and they you
• 1:12:54
  know, they'd say like, we're not going after them, basically, and
• 1:12:57
  then they go follow the Orcs. It's amazing. Uh. The Hobbits faces
• 1:13:01
  when Boromer gets shot is like such a beautiful moment and just obviously you know,
• 1:13:08
  Boromer dying and all that, and Mary and Pipping get taken away right
• 1:13:13
  like right after that, right, yeah, yeah, but their faces and
• 1:13:15
  then they like start fighting before they get kind of just like swept up right
• 1:13:19
  into it. Boromir and Ericorn doing their whole condor stuff. Uh, frodo
• 1:13:28
  leave Sam's follows. Frotos so happy. I made a promise, mister frodo
• 1:13:31
  that whole thing. Um, and then we travel light. Let's une some
• 1:13:36
  orc. You did not cry? Oh you did cry at that? Yeah
• 1:13:42
  I did, Okay, excited. That was an excited, excited cry.
• 1:13:45
  These are happy because yeah, yeah, so so twenty is because yeah,
• 1:13:56
  I think we but some of those are like the same scene. I don't
• 1:13:59
  know how this works. Yeah, I still think Endgame had more. Yeah,
• 1:14:03
  but wait till friggin I mean, just Return of the King is just
• 1:14:09
  going to be the whole time, Like, I don't that it's like an
• 1:14:13
  ending for two hours of that movie, crying the whole time. I might
• 1:14:16
  not guess for that one either. I'll just let you let you tell.
• 1:14:20
  I think you can chemically and when they stop and just elapsed time of crying
• 1:14:28
  for the total movie. I cried for one hundred and seventy five running minutes
• 1:14:34
  of this film. I have no more tears left to give a lot of
• 1:14:42
  crying, anybody, Why don't you hand us up? With some Triviyu strong
• 1:14:45
  Man also cry uh. Christopher Lee, Sir Christopher Lee saw Roman read The
• 1:14:50
  Lord of the Rings once a year until his death in twenty fifteen, and
• 1:14:55
  had done so since the year it was published. So he was a super
• 1:14:59
  fun And he was also the only member of the cast and crew to ever
• 1:15:03
  have met Tolkien. So I just thought that was really neat. And I
• 1:15:06
  think he was like the first person cast as well, so he was integral
• 1:15:13
  and even I want to say, because he was such a nerve, I
• 1:15:16
  should have wrote this down, but this is just something I remember from reading
• 1:15:19
  about it or whatever. But he was such a fan that he would go
• 1:15:24
  into like the makeup room and stuff and be like, oh, I think
• 1:15:28
  the Orcs would look like this actually, and would give him like notes and
• 1:15:30
  tips and things because he was just like, I know, there's I'm ready
• 1:15:33
  to go. You know. He also super cool. I might be misremembering
• 1:15:39
  this, but I seemed to remember a tidbit about because he feel like fought
• 1:15:43
  in a war. He was like a soldier for years, and he like
• 1:15:46
  gave Peter Jackson some pointers on what it sounds like when you stabbed somebody,
• 1:15:50
  and he was like that's not how Jesus He's like. It's more like trust
• 1:15:58
  me. Yeah, he's crazy. His Wikipedia is worth a read. You're
• 1:16:01
  totally right, Neil, it's wild bonkers. His life sound it could be
• 1:16:08
  its own movie, like it's absolutely crazy. Yeah, waiting for the biopic
• 1:16:13
  to come out. Let's see, I thought this was fun. At the
• 1:16:17
  end of filming, Peter Jackson gave one of the rings used in the movies
• 1:16:24
  to Elijah Would and one to Andy Serkis as a gift. They both thought
• 1:16:28
  that they had the only one, which I thought was very fun. Yeah,
• 1:16:34
  let's see. Oh, when Gandalf hits his head on the ceiling like
• 1:16:40
  the beam of the ceiling in Bilbo's Hobbit Hole, it wasn't in the script.
• 1:16:44
  He actually just hit his head on the beam accidentally and then acted through
• 1:16:47
  it. And they liked it so much that they kept it. And I
• 1:16:50
  thought that was amazing and really fun. Let's see, this is crazy.
• 1:16:57
  The cast often had to fly to remote shoe locations by helicopter, but scene
• 1:17:01
  being was so afraid of flying that he would only do it when he had
• 1:17:05
  to. So they were shooting some the scenes where they're crossing the snowy mountains.
• 1:17:13
  He would get up and start walking two hours before everyone every morning,
• 1:17:17
  so he could climb from the base of the mountain to the set near the
• 1:17:20
  top, and he would do it dressed as Boromere, and the crew and
• 1:17:25
  everybody as they were getting flown up would see him like mosying his way up
• 1:17:29
  there. So flying a lot. I would love to see the footage of
• 1:17:33
  somebody just self on recording boromer walking up a mountain by himself, totally,
• 1:17:39
  totally, it's lost, so fun let's see. Oh. During filming,
• 1:17:45
  most of the members of the Fellowship took up surfing in New Zealand during their
• 1:17:49
  spare time, among them Vigo Mortensen, who wiped out terribly one day and
• 1:17:55
  bruised the entire side of his face. The next day. Makeup artists try
• 1:18:00
  to mask the bruising, but they were unsuccessful, so instead they opted to
• 1:18:03
  film him only for one side for the whole scene. So in the minds
• 1:18:09
  of Maria when they find the tomb, if you watch he's only seen from
• 1:18:13
  one side the whole time. I think it's really funny. They're like,
• 1:18:17
  well, we'll just show him one of the one side of his face.
• 1:18:20
  Despite playing Gimli the Dwarf. John Reis Davies is six one and he's one
• 1:18:27
  of the tallest people in the fellowship, which I think is hilarious. It's
• 1:18:31
  also super worth going on like YouTube and maybe I'll find a link rop so
• 1:18:35
  we can throw it in the comments. But seeing how they do the forced
• 1:18:40
  perspective stuff is really interesting and I don't super know how to explain it other
• 1:18:45
  than like they would have a person here and then a person way back here
• 1:18:47
  and to make him look smaller and all that, and they came up with
• 1:18:50
  some dolly shots. Was like the very towards the very end, there's a
• 1:18:57
  scene of the ring in the snow and it's like a close camera shot of
• 1:19:00
  the ring in the snow. But the ring they used for that shot was
• 1:19:03
  actually like this big round or something, and so it is, Yeah,
• 1:19:05
  it is actually a huge ring, so they you see everybody in the distance,
• 1:19:10
  but they wanted the detail of the ring to show up, so they
• 1:19:12
  had like a giant scale model of the ring itself, so clear snow.
• 1:19:15
  Very interesting. Like that stuff is brilliant. How Peter Jackson shot some of
• 1:19:18
  those things. Yeah, it's a real tricksie of which I like a lot
• 1:19:24
  and made it great, you know, really fun well, and a cinematographer
• 1:19:28
  one an Academy Award for it, so people people like it well deserved,
• 1:19:32
  Yeah, for sure. When Pippin is being hit by the apples after asking
• 1:19:38
  about second breakfast, it's Vigo Martinson chucking the apple that has head and they
• 1:19:42
  had to shoot the scene sixteen times to get it just right. And Billy
• 1:19:45
  Boyd see he believes Mortenson enjoyed himself immensely because he was just kind of chuck
• 1:19:50
  APPI sado uh. That seems also hilarious because after he gets hit, he
• 1:19:56
  looks up in the air. It came from just a buff. I'm not
• 1:20:00
  you know, throwne. It's really funny. I like it. Let's see.
• 1:20:04
  The Elvish language lines spoken in this film are not just quotes from the
• 1:20:08
  book. They were derived from Tolkien's own limited dictionary of that language. Dialect
• 1:20:14
  coach Andrew Jack used recordings of Tolkien's reading his books to guide the actors and
• 1:20:18
  actresses in their pronunciations, which I think is wild. Let's just sound crazy,
• 1:20:24
  this guy, as he came up with languages and stuff. He's wild
• 1:20:28
  speaking of the languages. Vigo Mortenson is trilingual in English, Spanish and Danish
• 1:20:33
  and requested that the script be revised so he could speak more of his lines
• 1:20:38
  and Elvish, and he did a great job with them, so it makes
• 1:20:40
  sense. He also purchased Erwin's horse after production and gave it to live Tyler's
• 1:20:45
  riding double Jane Abbott, which I thought was cute. I loved that theme.
• 1:20:54
  They were all filmed simultaneously, all three films that we talked about,
• 1:20:58
  but it was two hundred and seventy four days of filming across sixteen months,
• 1:21:03
  which is exactly the same time frame taken for the principal photography in Apocalypse Now,
• 1:21:09
  which I thought was wild. So they got Apocalypse Now and they got
• 1:21:13
  three movies from this, so they did pretty good all things considered. They
• 1:21:17
  used a computer program called Massive to make the the armies of cgi orcs,
• 1:21:24
  elves and humans, and these digital creations could think and battle independently, identifying
• 1:21:30
  friend or foe, and thanks to they each each of the like assets would
• 1:21:36
  have individual fields of vision, and I guess that Peter Jackson and his team
• 1:21:41
  could click on one creature in a crowd in a crowd scene of up to
• 1:21:45
  twenty thousand and see through their eyes and see like what they could see,
• 1:21:50
  and they could assigned like unique fighting styles and stuff. So super crazy?
• 1:21:57
  Is that for other things? Like has that been used in like other movies
• 1:22:00
  or videos us? To be right? Yeah? I agree, And it's
• 1:22:06
  probably even more robust now right, I mean even crazier probably yeah. I
• 1:22:11
  don't know. It didn't say specifically, but when the dragon firework goes off
• 1:22:16
  at the party early with the Hobbits, the shriek erd is actually Billy Boyd
• 1:22:21
  screaming and because he was unaware that it was really going to explode. I
• 1:22:28
  think it's funny. But they were like, hey, that works, We'll
• 1:22:30
  keep it. Let's see. Oh. After the New Zealand premiere, uh,
• 1:22:36
  Peter Jackson joined the actors who played the nine members of the Fellowship by
• 1:22:41
  getting a commemorative tattoo of his own. Their tattoos are all the Elvish symbol
• 1:22:45
  for nine for the Fellowship, and he got the Elvish ten. So that
• 1:22:48
  was cute? Is cute? Isn't that fun? Where get him? I
• 1:22:56
  think just above his upper thigh, dry lower back, probably tramp Sam you
• 1:23:03
  know how he is? How is? Yeah? What? How? Dare
• 1:23:12
  you? I love it? Oh? They were over twelve and a half
• 1:23:17
  million plastic rings made for this film. In order to fabricate the simulated chain
• 1:23:23
  mail for the movie, two crew members spent the length of the shoot linking
• 1:23:28
  the rings by hand into suits of armor. By the end of production,
• 1:23:31
  they had worn the fingerprints off their thumbs and index fingers. Jeez, what
• 1:23:39
  an awful game, horrible movie. Maybe higher a few more people for ah.
• 1:23:45
  Can you imagine they must have been like, what are we doing this?
• 1:23:48
  Hell? I mean the credits in this were seriously almost a half hour.
• 1:23:55
  I couldn't believe it. I did not remember them being that. I
• 1:23:58
  was excited because it was done so much earlier totally, but um, I
• 1:24:02
  mean that many people worked on that film, and you couldn't get more of
• 1:24:05
  them helping with those like what do you guess? What's happening? The two
• 1:24:10
  folks? But just gotta run out somewhere. They can rob banks now though,
• 1:24:14
  because they don't have fingerprints. I thought this was fun. Gimli's line
• 1:24:20
  nobody tosses a Dwarf was actually filmed after the toss me line in The Two
• 1:24:27
  Towers. We'll hear that one next. But just just too great DLF to
• 1:24:30
  toss. Uh. So, I just thought that was that was silly,
• 1:24:33
  And I thought, uh also silly, sort of out of time. The
• 1:24:38
  ironic part of the Fellowship mourning the loss of Gandolf was at that point that
• 1:24:42
  they shot that none of the cast members had met sir Ian McKellan, let
• 1:24:46
  alone seeing him dressed up as Gandolf. We're really so weird. I just
• 1:24:51
  that's so wild to me. I love that. That is so interesting.
• 1:24:57
  Yeah, shot the end of the movie, for I guess, I think
• 1:25:01
  they just did it all out of order, you know, so there wasn't
• 1:25:04
  it wasn't even like, Yeah, I don't understand how you could do that.
• 1:25:10
  I agree. I don't get that either. It feels like it would
• 1:25:13
  be so hard to know, like especially if you're trying to progress a character,
• 1:25:18
  like how do I guess they think about it and they're better at it
• 1:25:21
  is the real answer? Yeah. Uh. And this is one of my
• 1:25:25
  favorite quotes from the book. So during Borimir's death scene, a choir can
• 1:25:29
  be heard on the soundtrack singing in Elvish and the translation of the lyrics is
• 1:25:33
  taken directly from the books. And this is the quote I do not love
• 1:25:36
  the sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the
• 1:25:41
  warrior for his glory. I only love for what they can defend. So
• 1:25:45
  they're talking about we love the people and the you know what they're protecting.
• 1:25:50
  There's a lot of random like singing and a lot of random little melodies,
• 1:25:56
  and it's there's one that's very funny. Eric starts singing, yeah, kind
• 1:26:01
  of just by himself, and like Frodo wakes up and they talk for a
• 1:26:06
  little bit and Eric's like, we'll go to sleep. You should go Sleep's
• 1:26:10
  like, well, dude, stop singing to yourself trying to sleep. Yeah.
• 1:26:15
  I love that story though, because that is the basically an encapsulation of
• 1:26:19
  the story of Rwin and Eric Orn because the lady chooses immortal life to stay
• 1:26:27
  with one of his ancestors. So that's fun. I love that. But
• 1:26:30
  yeah, there is crazy, crazy, random singing, lots of it.
• 1:26:33
  There's even more in the books. There's so much singing in the books.
• 1:26:38
  It's crazy funny. But yeah, or did you have any trivia? Yeah,
• 1:26:42
  a bunch of stuff here. Originally the narration at the prologue was supposed
• 1:26:45
  to be Elijah Wood. It was felt that the information imparted at a little
• 1:26:48
  bearing on the character of Frodo. So then Ian McKellen also recorded a narration,
• 1:26:54
  but once again it was felt that Gandolf wasn't the right character to speak
• 1:26:57
  it, and so they ended up settling on Kate Blanchet, which is pretty
• 1:27:02
  great and it emphasizes the timelessness of the Elves, which I thought was Yeah
• 1:27:09
  a good call. Um, Like you said, Orlando Bloom landed the role
• 1:27:13
  of Legolists two days before he finished drama school. Wow, Wow, which
• 1:27:17
  a great feeling. Yeah, I did it. You guys should really just
• 1:27:24
  get a job on a major film. Yeah, that was actually like pretty
• 1:27:27
  wild. Can you imagine like having no like pay your due time in your
• 1:27:31
  career, like you finished school the biggest film franchise maybe ever. Yeah,
• 1:27:38
  he's doing so hard. Yeah crazy, such a scary feeling, probably too
• 1:27:42
  at the same time, m it looks like originally cast as Ergarn was Stuart
• 1:27:48
  Townsend um, and it sound like he had actually he had actually shot for
• 1:27:57
  four days. Yeah, And they then got Vigo Mortenson and Peter Jackson thought
• 1:28:02
  that an older actor was needed. Uh, tough break. Stewart Towns Stewarttowns
• 1:28:09
  and the only thing I knew him from well, most recognizably, he played
• 1:28:14
  Dorrian Gray in that Horrible League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Yes, and he worked
• 1:28:19
  a lot though, Right, he's done. He's done a lot of things,
• 1:28:21
  for sure, been around, but yeah, nothing but nothing like this.
• 1:28:26
  Yeah. Yeah. Um it looks like Sean Connery was offered ten million
• 1:28:30
  for Gandolf and he turned it down, reportedly due to not understanding the story.
• 1:28:39
  Thank god. Wow, that seems like that'd be weird. Yeah,
• 1:28:43
  he's just gonna sound like Sean Connery. Yeah, but then Stewartowns and Stewart
• 1:28:47
  Towns and got to work with extraordinary gentleman. Oh yeah, right, so
• 1:28:53
  there you go. Um this, what's that? That whole line is just
• 1:28:59
  so funny. I'm the shrimp un told the chicret fire. We wrote you
• 1:29:03
  kind of passion though. Yeah, he would have done a great too.
• 1:29:15
  Um. It looks like Peter Jackson's first two choices for Ergorn were Daniel day
• 1:29:19
  Lewis and Russell Crowe. WHOA, yeah, dude, he probably would have
• 1:29:27
  killed it. Probably would have to, really, I don't know. Yeah,
• 1:29:31
  Um, it's like Crow might be too bombastic though, Like Krow would
• 1:29:35
  have been great too, pullip swack, he would have been great. Just
• 1:29:40
  picture him as a dude from Gladiator. He would have been great. Yeah,
• 1:29:44
  that's true, that's true. Um. Yeah. Patrick Stewart was offered
• 1:29:47
  the role of Gandalf as well. He turned it down. He didn't like
• 1:29:50
  this strapped Wow, just surprising, And yeah, I was gonna say,
• 1:29:58
  I think I can very easily say see those like him and Ian mccellen being
• 1:30:01
  best friends maybe as part of the reason, but like, I can just
• 1:30:04
  see them playing each other's roles all the time. So I feel like that
• 1:30:08
  would have been seamless if he did end up playing Gandelf instead. Sure,
• 1:30:13
  but he would have needed hair, so that would have been They got wigs.
• 1:30:16
  They got wigs. I mean Ian McKellen was for sure, well I
• 1:30:21
  get that, but they put fake hair on people. I've looked at some
• 1:30:28
  wigs from my everyday life. I explored the possibilities. That's good. Um,
• 1:30:43
  there's kind of some crazy stuff that was going down. So Mira Max
• 1:30:47
  spent fourteen million dollars to develop the project, but because of the budget,
• 1:30:53
  the Weinstein Brothers needed Disney's approval to go ahead. Weinstein made the pitch for
• 1:30:58
  two movies, so now not three movies, with a projected budget of no
• 1:31:02
  more than one hundred and eighty million dollars. Disney's head Michael Eisner rejected his
• 1:31:09
  proposal, thinking that The Lord of the Rings would not translate well to film
• 1:31:14
  and there was a limited audience for the fantasy genre. I know this whole
• 1:31:20
  paragraph is insane. After Eisner's rejection, the wine Stein's reluctantly let Sir Peter
• 1:31:26
  Jackson shop the project to other studios. Jackson later said that he was happy
• 1:31:30
  that the deal with Harvey Weinstein fell through, called him, calling him a
• 1:31:33
  real bully who ruled through mafia thuggery. Weinstein reportedly wanted to take the project
• 1:31:41
  from Jackson and give it to Quentin Tarantino, and he forbade him to cast
• 1:31:46
  Mira Sorvino and Ashley Judd. I had actually heard that Ashley Judd was supposed
• 1:31:53
  to have that Arwin role. Oh sure, Jackson Vowden never to work with
• 1:31:59
  Winestein again and took the project a new line. Cinema's chief executive Robert say
• 1:32:02
  Instead, who finally approved the project for three movies with a combined budget of
• 1:32:08
  three hundred million dollars, and apparently they had brought it to Robert Shay thinking
• 1:32:12
  it was just going to be two movies, and he was like, well
• 1:32:14
  you should really just make it three movies, and Peter Jackson was like,
• 1:32:16
  we know so old. So I agree. Yeah, So I thought all
• 1:32:23
  that was pretty insane. It's amazing any movie ever gets made. Agree,
• 1:32:29
  there's so much crap that has to go into and just can't even imagine.
• 1:32:34
  Yeah, I'm really surprised that Weinstein wasn't easy to work with. I've only
• 1:32:38
  ever heard some good things. Stirling Silver reputation. Yeah, really great.
• 1:32:45
  Yeah, that guy sucks, by the way, if so much, so
• 1:32:47
  much, so much. He's a bad man. That was all I had
• 1:32:50
  though. That's super cool. Yeah, but I like that story. That's
• 1:32:54
  neat Neil. Did you have any trivia that we missed that you happen to
• 1:32:57
  see? You're not someone for two Towers but you already know it? Tell
• 1:33:01
  me everything? Or did I already say it? No? No, no,
• 1:33:04
  it's oh yes, got it? Got it? Sorry? Yes,
• 1:33:09
  the meme? Yes, of course, of course, of course we'll talk
• 1:33:13
  about it. Um, I'll get it. Judgment day. We know there's
• 1:33:16
  more coming. So okay, oh yeah yeah, but do you guys want
• 1:33:20
  to play a game? Yeah? Absolutely. I did a plot tub time
• 1:33:26
  machine. So I am going to give you the plot synopsis to a movie.
• 1:33:31
  And when you know what the title is, ringing with your name.
• 1:33:35
  Um, all of these ten films have something in common. And if you
• 1:33:42
  know what that is, just ringing at any time with your name, so
• 1:33:45
  I know who's ringing in. You can do that anytime for a point.
• 1:33:47
  Um, pretty easy. Any questions. Cool, Let's do it number like
• 1:33:55
  four apples or something to make sure it's I feel like Neil's on like a
• 1:33:59
  little old delay. Oh yeah, that's right, that's all right. We
• 1:34:01
  know I'm not gonna win this thing anyways. It's all right. No,
• 1:34:04
  No, we're doing plots up. I didn't go for like a starting five.
• 1:34:09
  We're gonna I feel good about this. You're you're gonna do great.
• 1:34:13
  Um, we'll see how we do with number one. Here, here we
• 1:34:16
  go, a film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong
• 1:34:21
  button and it played the situation for laughs. US Air Force General Jack Ripper
• 1:34:28
  goes completely insane and sends his bomber wing to destroy the USSR. He thinks
• 1:34:32
  that the Communists are conspiring to pollute the precious bodily fluids of the American people.
• 1:34:42
  Any guesses, Yes, No, it's Oh, it's the one I'm
• 1:34:49
  gonna say to Russia with love. But it's the other one, isn't that?
• 1:34:53
  It's not that one? No, any guess? Is Neil five four
• 1:34:59
  three? Is it the one we did with your dad? No? No,
• 1:35:01
  I've never seen this. I've never seen this movie. This is called
• 1:35:04
  Doctor Strange Love or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
• 1:35:11
  Damn it, I've seen that. It's great. Yeah, I mean it's
• 1:35:14
  a class I have not seen it. I should have got that. But
• 1:35:18
  let's go to number yeah. Yeah, sorry, let's see I go to
• 1:35:21
  number two. Infamous and unpredictable, the fastest gun in the West plans his
• 1:35:28
  next big heist. While he launches preemptive strikes against those looking to collect the
• 1:35:33
  reward the law has placed on his head. His newest recruits grow increasingly jealous
• 1:35:40
  of the outlaw. When they sense an opportunity to kill him, they gun
• 1:35:44
  him down, but their actions backfire. When his fame is elevated to near
• 1:35:49
  mythical status, us Yukes, Jesse James, the coward who killed I'm gonna
• 1:36:05
  give it to you Robert for yes, Yes, it's the assassination of Jesse
• 1:36:11
  James by the coward Robert Ford. Oh, okay, by the coward Robert
• 1:36:16
  Yeah. Long, Yes, I haven't either. I just know that title
• 1:36:23
  because it's a long Is that the thing? Long titles? It's very long
• 1:36:27
  titles. Yes, that is the thing. You have two points, so
• 1:36:31
  now that might help a little bit. I'm not gonna be like sticklers on
• 1:36:38
  every words act wordage. However, for this next one, you gotta get
• 1:36:43
  it right. You gotta get the title right. Okay, okay, and
• 1:36:46
  you'll know why here. Sure you can't guess after Okay, I'll guess now,
• 1:36:53
  Anchorman the legend of run Burn. Oh that is good, but no,
• 1:36:57
  so Neil. Here you go, buddy, to the way that Captain
• 1:37:02
  Jack Sparrow arrives at Port Royal and the Caribbean without a ship or crew.
• 1:37:06
  His timing is in opportune, however, because later that evening, the town
• 1:37:10
  is besieged by a pirate ship. The pirates kidnapped the governor's daughter, Elizabeth,
• 1:37:14
  who's in possession of a valuable coin that is linked to a curse that
• 1:37:17
  has transformed the pirates into the undead. A gallant blacksmith in love with Elizabeth
• 1:37:23
  allies with Sparrow in Pursuit of the Pirates. Do you know, Neil,
• 1:37:28
  what that song is? Yes, Pirates of the Caribbean. Is there a
• 1:37:31
  subheading of that movie. Yeah, there's a lot of them. So yeah,
• 1:37:35
  that's why I was like, you gotta get this one right. Okay,

  seen it. I've always thought I would like it. Yeah. I wonder
• 1:41:10
  about the right word. Maybe. I mean it was fun at the time.
• 1:41:13
  I don't know if it holds up in today's um. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:41:19
  I thought it was fun at the time. Cool. It's probably problematic
• 1:41:24
  and I'm going to get canceled for saying that, but I don't know for
• 1:41:27
