  Speaker 1: down each of us, counting down our top ten villains.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And I fully expect some crossovers here.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I would think so, But I don't know that Eighties
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: were there there. We aren't lacking for villains in that deck.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I agree, And I think Dave and I will probably
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: have more crossovers than you and I. I think you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: may have gone off the reservation here.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Oh you think.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I think you might have. I think I surely know
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that your list will be different than herce for sure.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I think mine probably is going to come more based
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: in like pop culture. I feel like you guys have
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: maybe gone off the rails into the dark web.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Dave, did you do any research on the dark Web?
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: Do I look like a guy that goes to the
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: dark Web?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I don't. I wouldn't even know how to get to the.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Dark vib I do not know how to get to
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: the dark Web.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Dark Helmet will make our villams bringing
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it back around? Well, uh, Lynn's enough of the chip chap.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to get to it?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: This is a podcast that looks back on the decade
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: of the nineteen eighties. We talk about things that were
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: important to us as children and what we look back
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: on with fond memories as adults. Ultimately, this is a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: nostalgia podcast.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Before we get to the villains, I do have one
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: clean up item from last week or not last week,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: from our last episode.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Last week was a repeat you done messed up?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You've done messed up aa ron. So I need to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: issue an apology because I left a good song off
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of our list. You bull, Yes, I did, Billy, I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: blew it. So I need to issue an apology because
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I left this beauty off. Shit. It's crazy. Just Dave
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: look at Lindsay's face and told me, does she love
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: yacht rock or what?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Who is that?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That is steely Dan with a nineteen. That's horrible.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: The only good thing I can think of to say
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: about that is, at least he's not singing about a
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: seventeen year old.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not creepy like kif Winger Kip Winger. But yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I missed that one. When we were doing our songs
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: with numbers, Dave, were you looking for that one to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: be played?
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: No?
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: I was holding out for eight six seventy five three
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: oh nine. I was like, don't tell me, they're gonna
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: forget that one. I was like, you were you strung
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: me along to the end, but you came through for me.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: But I was trying to think.
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: So.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Counting down our top ten villains from movies in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. Today, we'll go in order. We'll let our
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: guest Dave go first, and then you'll go, and then
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'll go. But I want to know, did you struggle
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: with this with coming up with this list?
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Not really?
• 6:09
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: I would say the first half of my list was automatic,
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: like I just had it immediately. Then I had to
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: make some decisions for the for the bottom half of
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: my list. So but overall, it's pretty easy I had.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I had it pretty quickly.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I struggled in the beginning because I thought I was
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: going to have to come up with like good versus
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Bad and I didn't watch those movies in the eighties.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, you're just coming up with your villains.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Just thinking like, oh my gosh, what am I gonna do?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: How am I going to do this? But then once
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: you and I talked it through, then it just came
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: quickly for me.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And like I said, some of yours is going
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to be different than ours because you probably weren't watching
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Star Wars or No or Flash Gordon or something like that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But before we give anything away, were there any honorable
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: mentions or do you want to save those until the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: end in case some of us have things on our
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: honorable mentions at the end? Okay, yeah, okay, I'm fine
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: with that. So this was it wasn't a struggle for
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: me to come up with villains. It was a struggle
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: for me to pair it down to ten because I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: came up with about sixteen or seventeen, and I really
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: struggled with paring it down to ten. And I actually
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: had my ten, and I reached out to our friend
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Brad from Pop Culture Yearbook, and he threw somebody out there,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh man, Brad, you just screwed up
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: my whole list. So then I literally sat here and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: thought for about twenty minutes about who I was gonna
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: boot off for the guy that Brad suggested, because I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: agreed with him that this had to go on there.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: So and we'll get to him a little bit later.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: But are we ready to get to our top ten?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Let's do it, all right, Dave as our guest, you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: will go first, go ahead and give us your number
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: ten villain from movies of the nineteen eighties.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Well, so my number ten pick is here to represent
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: the entire like slasher horror genre. I went with one
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: that I believe has the most personality, the most interesting character.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: It has to be Freddy Krueger.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: You n.
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: Man, love your John fine six, grab your so fix seven,
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: he say, late nine ten and see I'm so spook.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that old eighties music?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Again?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yes? It was pretty bad? All right? Well, I did
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: not have Freddy on my list. I thought about putting
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: him on, but I chose to stay away from any
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: of the like horror people because I feel like they
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: could be like their own project.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: But that's true.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But Dave, I'll let you go ahead and talk about
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Freddy and why you chose him as number ten.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Well, I just think he has more personality. I think
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: that he's more like distinctive than like, you know, obviously,
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: I think quickly Jason or Michael Myers or leather Face
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: something like that, but those are all a little bit
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: more like ciphers. And with Freddie you're getting a really
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: good backstory, you know. And also just his personality, his
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: arcasm is humor. I just and he really just kind
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: of distills the show. I mean he's he's the villain,
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: but he's also the protagonist. I mean, we're all coming
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: there to see him. So to me, when it comes
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: to actually having developed a riveting character with all these
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: different slasher movies, I think I think Freddy just stands out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: I think he stands up pretty easily.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that, But yeah, I agree with
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that he had the most personality, for sure. But out
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of those people that you mentioned, he's also the only
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: one that talked.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: So well, there you go.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: But they did do a better job of a backstory
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: with him than they did with any of the others
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: for sure. The other ones. I feel like they just
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: kind of threw together real quick. I mean, he was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: as a boy, he'd drowned in a lake, and then
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much all you get from and that's that. Yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: But I'll save my comments for Freddy because we're gonna
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: do a Freddie versus Jason Halloween episode next month. But
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but I I I don't have a problem with your
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: pick at number ten. But there you go. Number ten.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You want to go or you want me to go first.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Let me go.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I'm a little nervous, so let me go and kind
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: of get this one done so I'll calm down a
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: little bit, all right. So, uh my number ten, Johnny
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Lawrence from Karate Kid.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You couldn't leave one a flock cut your little twitch.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: No, I have to push it now.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: You're gonna pay Johnny.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Leave him alone, man, he's having shut up mommy, look
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: at it, dot, you can't.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Even stand up, go on, hand on me, squat Johnny,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: leave him alone, man, he's had not.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: On the side, but he's had enough.
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: Man.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Why is wrong?
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: But Johnny enemy.
• 11:53
  Speaker 12: Deserves no mercy?
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: Right right right?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: You're crazy, man, he's gone mad.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: That is a actual footage of Danielson getting the crap
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: kicked out of him.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: So I had a really hard time deciding if I
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: wanted Johnny Lawrence to make my list or not, because
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: we are big Cobra Kai fans, and so if you
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: watch that show, he redeems himself and I don't view
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: him as a band guy anymore or as a bully
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: because at one point in Cobra Kai you actually kind
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: of get to see things a little bit more from
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: his perspective, right, and so that's why he made the list.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: That's why he's at number ten. No doubt, he was
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: a bully. He physically attacked Daniel's son numerous times. He
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: was always very verbally abusive and angry and misused his
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: karate skills.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So if you go back to nineteen eighty four, right,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and this is an eighty show, then he absolutely belongs on.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: This list because he doessolutely.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But yeah, if you're going with revisionist history with Cobra Kai,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: then I can see your point.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And he had his little posse all the time back
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: in him off.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were a gang of bullies. So Dave,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: what do you think about the Johnny Lawrence pick?
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I feel like I got to leave
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: this one alone. I've got friends of mine, Jeff Johnson,
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: not a film by podcast that will tell you that
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Johnny Lawrence is the hero of Karate Kids, and that
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: Daniel's son LaRusso is the villain because he because Daniel
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: cheated in the All Valley tournament. The crane cake was
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: an illegal move and Johnny was was done wrong. Uh so,
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: I of course, you know, I thought of Karate Kiss.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: It's one of my favorite movies from the decade, but
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: I decided I was going to stay stay out of
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: those waters and not try to weigh in on that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: But I can tell you I haven't seen all of
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Cobra Kai, but I have seen I think the first
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: couple of seasons, and you're absolutely right. I mean, my goodness,
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: William Zaka does such an amazing job of that character.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: You know that that seemed like just an iconic like
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Douche Roll from the eighties, right, But he's able to
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: revisit this so many years later and do so much
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: with it. I mean, he's he's got so many episodes
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: to explore the character. We really get to know that
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: a lot, and he does a fantastic job. I think
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: it's the best acting of his career because because we
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: really get to spend time in that character and learn
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: a lot about him. So so yeah, in the post
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Cobra Kai era, you know, he's a lot more sympathetic.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: But if you sure keep it focus on the eighties
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: and you take the movie the way the way John
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Allison meant for you to take it. You know, Johnny's
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: a bad guy, and I certainly.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I would like to argue with mister Jeff Johnson that
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that crane kick may have been illegal, but Johnny elbowed
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Daniel's knee, which was also illegal and should have got
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: him disqualified after Bobby, you know, cheap shot at him
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: in the leg and almost knocked them out of the tournament.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So I would say that that crane kick was well deserved.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna get you and Jeff on the same
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: we can. We can have it out, but I'll be
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: the referee with the mustache in the middle.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: There we go, all right, Moving on to my number ten.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: My number ten comes from also from nineteen eighty four.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Hey guess what we all have? Number ten from nineteen
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: eighty four, Freddy Kruger eighty four, Johnny Lawrence eighty four,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and from the movie Police Academy nineteen eighty four. My
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: number ten is Lieutenant Harris.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: My name is Lieutenant Harris.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, mister it are the meanest instructors here.
• 15:38
  Speaker 13: We've got you because you are the worst people here.
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: You people are d squad d or dirt bags. When
• 15:52
  Speaker 13: I say hey, dirt bags, that means you. You people
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: are going to hate my guts for the rest of
• 16:00
  Speaker 13: your lives. I am going to make you sorry that
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: you ever came here.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And that is just a little snippet of how terrible
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant was through that whole movie. And then they bring
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: him back again in Police Academy three to be that guy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: So he was just he let him know, you're gonna
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: hate me for the rest of my lives. He was
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: very much a stickler for the Police Academy and he
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: didn't really like the fact that they were letting just
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Joey Baggett Donuts in and everybody, just every regular person in.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: So I loved Lieutenant Harris.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: And I just got to point out I love the
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: actor GW.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Bailey. Yes, he's he's that guy. You know that he's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and he always plays the cop he does. He plays
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a good cop. He's typecast, but he just had birthday.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: He's eighty one.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, wow. So we know him other than Police Academy, Dave.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: We watched The Closer and then it's follow up show,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Major Crimes, where he played Lieutenant Prevenza Okay for a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Major Crimes squad out in la.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: He's a makes the perfect fall for a movie like that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: You know you need that authority figure, so that the
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: so that the snarky, trouble making Cadets can play off of.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: So it makes for a fun not really evil, but
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: just a fun antagonist to play off of. So yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: he's He's kind of the fuel, you know, for the
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: for the comedy to kind of revolve around in the movie.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: So I'm a big fan. I'm also just a big
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: fan of all the love. The year nineteen eighty four
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: is getting so far on this show. I just want
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: to point out that it must be a year packed
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: with treasure for us to just all three of us
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: go straight to that year. It's almost as if it
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: were the best year ever it maybe.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: All right, Dave, go on with your number nine.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: All right, number nine, I'm gonna skip to nineteen eighty nine,
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: and I've got to go with the joker.
• 18:00
  Speaker 14: Oh tell me something, my friend, You ever dance with
• 18:06
  Speaker 14: the devil in the pale light?
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: What?
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: I always ask that of all my prey?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I just like the sound of it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: That man.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Batman.
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: live in?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We're a man dressed.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Up as a bat gets all of my press.
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: This town needs an enema.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: As though we were made for each other. Beauty in
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: the Beast.
• 18:44
  Speaker 14: Of course, if anyone else calls you Beast, I'll rip
• 18:48
  Speaker 14: their lungs.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Me.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: I'm giving away free money. And where is there that man?
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Is it all?
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: What are you laughing at?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: That is an excellent pick, Dave. And in fact, I
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: will go ahead and say that you just got my
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: number one.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Oh wow?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Really the Joker is my number one?
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Now the Joker, Jack Nicholson's Joker or just the character
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: the Joker.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson's character.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Are you saying that he's your number one guy, guy?
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: As you are my number one the Guy? So yeah,
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: I mean Jack Nicholson, I mean it was Could you
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: have had a better choice in the eighties for the Joker? So,
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: you know, at this time, batmanis still kind of not
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: taken seriously. Everybody remembers the nineteen sixty six show and
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: they remember all the cartoons, and there's still this image
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: of Batman as just being this silly character. And so
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: you know, that's what was so exciting when we knew
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: this movie was coming out with Tim Burton directing it,
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: we were ready for something that was gonna be a
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: little bit more serious and a little bit darker, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: there was a lot of backlash over the announcement of
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Michael Keatons as Batman because he was only known for
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: comedy and so and I think we the audience and
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: I was in that you know, comic book geek crowd
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: that wanted the world to know how cool Batman actually was,
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: and we were freaking out over the idea of a
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: comic actor playing Batman, like they're just gonna go down
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: this path again, It's just not what we want. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: obviously that's not what we got. I mean it it
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: seems pretty like now compared to the Christopher Nolan movies,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: but at the time it was an extreme tonal shit
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: from what the public perceived of Batman. But what gave
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: us all hope, like what we pinned everything on, was
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Jack Nicholson as the Joker. I mean, Jack Nicholson. You
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: get Jack Nicholson to play the Joker, now you've got
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: a serious movie, no pun intended. But and he was
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: so like delicious in that role. He just nailed every
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: single line delivery and made the movie a lot more fun.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: But also just his presence and his involvement gave the
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: movie I think a lot more weight and for people
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: to take a little bit more seriously.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, for sure, Tim Burton did a great job
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: with that. Michael Keaton is my Batman, all right. I
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: love Michael Keaton way better than I do Christian Bale.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And we can argue about Jack Nicholson versus Heath Ledger,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: but Jack Nicholson started it, and so he was brilliant,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and that's why he's my number one. He had so
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: many great lines he brought. He brought comedy and darkness
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to the role, whereas Heath Leger was just more dark
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and anarchist.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: And yeah, and I was eighteen at the time. It
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: came out right when I was graduating high school. But
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: it is where I learned the very important life lesson
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: that you never rub another man's rhubarb.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: He did, He did teach that lesson. Lindsey, what do
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: you think about that?
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: I was a little slow with that. I almost got
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: a spit take out of you. I just need.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: So I'm one of those weirdos. I'm not even sure
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I want to admit this, but I've always been honest.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I've never seen it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you've never seen Batman, and that's something
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that we've got to rectify.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I do remember the hype leading up
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: to the movie coming out, and I mean it was insane.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Do you remember, Like there were commercials and I think
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Taco Bell or somebody had some kind of running some
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: kind of a promo, and I just it was just
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I had the shirt.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: It was everywhere shirt.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Didn't even see the movie. And I love Jack Nicholson.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I'm the came in a little bit late, I guess,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: because I didn't know a whole lot about Jack Nicholson
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: until the nineties.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: But I love him.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's fantastic. And listen, it was huge. I do
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: remember the hype. Prince got a number one song out
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: of it. Out loud. All right, Lindsay, let's move on
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: to your number nine.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, my number nine is Walter Peck from Ghostbusters.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I'm staying in nineteen eighty four.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Hey, there's Nichol Peck.
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: I represent the Environmental Protection Agency the third District. Great,
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: exactly what are you a doctor of, mister Vicklin?
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: Well, I have PhDs and parapsychology and psychology.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I see.
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: And now you catch ghosts? Yeah, you could say that,
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: And how many ghosts have you caught? Mister Hank, I'm
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: not at liberty to say, And where do you put
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: these ghosts once you catch them?
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Into a storage facility?
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: And would the storage facility be located on these premises?
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And may I see this storage facility?
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: No?
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: And why not, mister Benkerman, because you did not use
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: the magic word.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I love this movie.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, so he obviously he's my villain because he tries
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: to shut down the Ghostbusters.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: But it's just the.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Not that he's a typical villain, but he's a villain
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: by red tape, right.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: We know those people.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Constantly arrogant and condescending, and he just antagonizes the heroes,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: which happens to be the Ghostbusters in this movie.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: But with that said, is he really a villain?
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: No? No, because he there was some truth there to
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: what he was saying.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: So, yes, there was some truth there is what he's saying. However,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: he did let go all of the Ghosts into New
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: York City, which caused a huge problem.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, is it safe to have unlicensed nuclear equipment just
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: loose in the city.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: It is, No, it is not. And if there and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: there's no bigger jerk as a hero than Peter Weinmann. Yes,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Dave Thoughts, I mean she's back at your tugging at
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: your heartstrings with nineteen eighty four.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean all time plastic. You know, I
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: could listen to that entire scene. You cut it off
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: way too soon. But uh, you're right, not an evil villain,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: but an antagonist, like an obstacle in the in our
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: hero's way. So yeah, similar to Lieutenant Harris in that way,
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: you know, not a not a big over the top
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: evil villain you have to go with like Zoul the
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: key Master or Zul the Gatekeeper, whoever, whoever that was
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: as the big evil or the state puff marshmallow Man
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: is the big giant villain, right But but yeah, I
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: mean delicious role for him. I think it's a William Atherton.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I think is the is the actor's.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Name, That is his name, and he plays a great
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: jerk because he did it again and die hard.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: He did it again and die hard. Yeah, he did
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: again out thinking real genius. I mean, if you need
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: that type, he's your man, right there.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of got type cast William Atherton and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: William Zambka. I guess, yeah, William thing in the eighties yeah,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: because Zampka played The Jerk and three movies in a row,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and so did Atherton.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: So there you go.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: All right, my number nine we are going to move
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: on to nineteen and eighty seven, and my number nine
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: is from The Princess Bride. Prince Humperden.
• 26:44
  Speaker 15: But when I hired Vessini to have her murdered on
• 26:46
  Speaker 15: our engagement day, I thought that was clever. But it's
• 26:48
  Speaker 15: going to be so much more moving when I strangled
• 26:51
  Speaker 15: her on our wedding night. Once Gilder is blamed, the
• 26:54
  Speaker 15: nation will be truly outraged.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: They'll demand we go to war.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Prince Humperding, evil prince from The Princess Bride trying to
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: take down Princess Buttercup. What do you all think about
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: my pick?
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's got to be a bad guy. His
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: name's humper Ding. I can't even say yes. Played brilliantly
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: by Chris Arand And may I say Chris Arranda also
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: played some bad guys in the eighties as well.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: So is he type cat?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: He may have been these He just plays a good
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: bad guy. But yeah, Princess Bride one of my favorite
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: movies from the eighties. It's a kind of a fantasy thing.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not something that is a guy's movie
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: But wait, did you say it's not not a guy movie.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's men who quote this movie all
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Now it is, so that's funny to me.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: It is, but you would think, you know, if they've
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: made it for anybody, they probably made it for little girls, right,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But get Fred Savage is in it, you know, uh,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: it's it may be the only movie that I like
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: carry elwayson thoughts on that march. Yes, yes, you we
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: have to do that at every wedding we go to,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: don't we.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: That's the only thing that makes it tolerable.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I'll just go ahead and confess I
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: am not someone who's been able to get into the
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Princess Bride I And I.
• 28:30
  Speaker 16: Feel like, I know, I know that, and I like comedy,
• 28:34
  Speaker 16: you know, and I can't explain it, but you know,
• 28:39
  Speaker 16: I understand what you're saying.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Like it feels like it's it's like a fairy tale
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: story book, right, So that seems like the kind of
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: thing that should be for little girls. But for whatever reason,
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: this movie is huge in like the movie geek community,
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: and guys absolutely do quote it all the time. It's
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: consistently up there among people's favorite movies. And you know,
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: it's one of those things where when they're listening favorite movies,
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: they might not mention it, but if you go, what
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: about Princess Bride, they're like, oh, yeah, definitely, you know.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Oh and then but and people are quoting it all
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: the time. And I'm familiar enough with the famous quotes,
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: and I've seen it a couple of different times. I've
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: just never like been blown away by it. I've never
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know why. I'm not really a Princess Bride guy,
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: but but it's definitely, you know, looms large in our
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: cultural memory, and so, uh, you know, it's an excellent pick.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Dave, my name is a Nigo Montoya. You've killed my
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: movie Prepared to Die.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: That's inconceivable.
• 29:41
  Speaker 17: It's gone under the Giant in Yeah, that's that raises
• 29:46
  Speaker 17: the floor when when it comes to the deaf quota,
• 29:49
  Speaker 17: you know the deaf points, uh any any movie andre
• 29:53
  Speaker 17: the Giant and is already you.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Know Crystal, only the Princess Bride could combine those two
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: exactly great cast if you think about it, though, But
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: moving on, we'll move on, Dave, why don't you give
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: us your number eight.
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: I want to take us all the way back to
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: nineteen eighty to one of the twentieth century's earliest great villains,
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: meing the merciless Clitess. I'm bored.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: What playing can you offer me today? An obscure body in.
• 30:27
  Speaker 15: The Escade system, Your majesty, the inhabitants refer to it
• 30:31
  Speaker 15: as the planet Earth.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: How peaceful it looks.
• 30:49
  Speaker 13: Most effective of your majesty, we all destroy this.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Earth later, I'd like to play with things while befall.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Annihidation, and then we go straight into the Queen music. Absolutely, man,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: what a great movie in nineteen I mean, it's it's
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: terrible now, But in nineteen eighty, what a fantastic movie.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And I loved it. I can't tell you how many
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: times I watched that movie.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: As a little boy, I saw it in the theaters.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: It came out nineteen eighty. I was nine years old.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: And it's similar, I think, both in it's humor sensibilities,
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: but also in my experience with it, which is to say,
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I saw it at a young enough age that when
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: I first saw it, ooh, it was so awesome. It
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: was the coolest thing ever. And then I revisited a
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: little bit later and I'm like, man, this is stupid,
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: Like how dumb is this movie? And then I watched
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: it a few years after that and I'm like, this
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: movie is awesome. This movie's fantastic. So I didn't really
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: it was supposed to be funny at first. Then I
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: was like, man, this humor is stupid. And then I
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: was like I entered my dad joke phase I guess
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: of life, and I'm like, this is actually amazing. So
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: I love I love the movie. And of course you
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: know this is Max Fon Saido as being the merciless
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Flash Gordon's arch enem me and what can you say?
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's iconic. And I remember watching this.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: I remember what very uh very clearly, as a nine
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: year old in the theater watching this movie. You know,
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: when he when he meets his end at the end
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: of the movie, and that the nose of that rocket
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: show comes buzzing through his chest and his blood is green.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, that is the coolest.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: Thing ever this is.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: It is such a little Boys movie. It is such
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a little Boys movie. There's nobody now that has never
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: seen it that would watch it now. And go, Wow,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: that's really good, right to go. This is stupid. I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: can't believe you made me watch it. Harken back to
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: being a little boy, and you've got all these batties, right,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and you got Flash Gordon trying to defeat all these batties,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and then he's the worst of all and then he
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: comes with green Blood because he's an alien.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: It's just it was just fantastic, and Max Menside was
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: was brilliant in it. Perfect, perfect, Lindsey, I'm guessing you've
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: never seen Flash Gordon.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I don't even know the words coming out of your
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: mouth right now.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Oh man, it's got Timothy Dalton in it. It has
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: uh Brian Blessed in it. Oh man, it's.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: So Dave Ming The Mercyless was on my list and
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it got booted when Brad brought up okay, what's good,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: what's gonna end up being my number seven? Okay person?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: So I decided to boot Ming off my list.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: All right, I can't wait to see who you got.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Lindsay, you're number eight.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Number eight was a little bit harder for me to
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: land on, but I'm going with Steph McKee.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Pretty in pink.
• 34:08
  Speaker 14: I thought that was very uncool you last night, Blayne?
• 34:11
  Speaker 14: What what wasn't any girl that did that to me?
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: I would not be too jazz to hold on to Blaine?
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: How do you care?
• 34:19
  Speaker 14: Listen, my best friend is conversing with a mutant, you know,
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: and I'm curious. I don't think that's any reason to
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: get defense.
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: I'm not defensive.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: He's haimeing to like her?
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: What do I have to spell it out for you, Blaine?
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: I guess so.
• 34:32
  Speaker 14: Nobody appreciates your sense of humor.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 34:34
  Speaker 14: As a matter of fact, everybody's just about to puke
• 34:36
  Speaker 14: for me. You know, if you got a hard on
• 34:38
  Speaker 14: for trash, don't take care of it around those paler hide.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: What a jerk?
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I hate James Spear. Does that mean he's a good actor?
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: No?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's being himself there.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I think like that.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, I'll let you talk and then I'll go.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: He's such a rich, arrogant bully, and he just constantly
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: is belittling Andy, and he's pressuring his friend Blaine not
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: to date beneath him, which is so just if so,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: he's not he's not violent, He's not that type of villain.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: But he's just he's very manipulative with his words.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: And he's just an entitled snob.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: No, he's just a.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Well he's that too.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean he's that rich kid that you
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that thinks he's better than everybody else, that deserves to
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: get the crap kicked out of him.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: So I can't tell you how much I love Pretty
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and Pink.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: It came out on TV and I don't know, I'm
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: just guessing seven or eight.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: So I got to see it on TV.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: That was the first I knew of Pretty and Pink,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: but fell in love with it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: But I couldn't stay up late enough to see the ending.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: So I was having to then go around school the
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: next day and see if I couldn't figure out who
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: did she end up with?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Because I loved I wanted her to be a donkey.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Back in the eighties, the loser never got the girl. Yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Dave thoughts.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: So, I mean he filled a type, right, I mean
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: you're talking about a high school movie, like a teen
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: high school movie, So you've got to have this type
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: that that you're just that you're just supposed to hate.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: So and I don't think anybody played that role better
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: than James Spader and he he you know, he still
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: played that kind of that smug jerked like later like
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: in the office and stuff like that. You know, it's
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: just like he's just got that nailed down and he's
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: perfectly cast.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: That makes me think that might really be him.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: It might be it might be all right, my number eight.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going back to nineteen eighty two. And I don't
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: even think I have to say this guy's name. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: think you'll know it as soon as you hear this clip.
• 36:59
  Speaker 18: You can don't get a sucking no statue. Give him guts.
• 37:02
  Speaker 18: I told you I wasn't going away. You got your shot.
• 37:05
  Speaker 18: I give me mind.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Why SHU get the hell out of it?
• 37:08
  Speaker 13: Shut out o.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Man, I ain't going no where.
• 37:09
  Speaker 18: They wanted to tell all these nice folks why you've
• 37:11
  Speaker 18: been ducking me politics man, just because you wants to
• 37:14
  Speaker 18: keep me down. Get back by the week. I don't
• 37:16
  Speaker 18: want a man like me. And they have the title
• 37:18
  Speaker 18: he doesn't not a puppet like at Hula there.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: You know you've got a big mouth, you know.
• 37:22
  Speaker 18: Wants to come out of close abkh.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: And then later on he invites Adrian back to his
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: apartment to show her what a real man's like that
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: is clubber Lang from Rocky three in nineteen eighty two.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: That is my number eight pick for a villain boy.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Mister T played a great villain in this. He was
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: always the big, scary, muscular guy with the mohawk, but
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: he was the friendly goofball in eighteen and he played
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: a real good bad guy here. And the reason why
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I know some people might be like, oh, well, Drago
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: was worse because Drago killed Apollo. Let me tell you something.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Drago was the machine that the Russians made. He was
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: just the tool in the instrument. Mister T was just
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: a bad villain and a bad guy. He also killed
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Mickey right and which allowed Apollo to become Rocky's trainer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: which then got Apollo killed by Drago. So if you know,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: if it's not for clubb Lang, Apollo's probably still alive.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Lindsey. I know you love the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Rocky movies.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the Rocky movies, and I love mister T.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I would have been Adrian. I would have probably gone
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: back to his place.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I mean she had already emasculated Rocky anyway.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I know the damage was done there.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't have any curiosity, would have gotten the
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: best office.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: And what a great name clubb Lang for a boxer, Yeah,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: for an evil boxer. Dave Thoughts, you.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: Know, call him the h Freddy Krueger of Rocky opponents
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: because he had the best personality, right, it was, uh, yeah,
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: everything you said is a spot on. I totally agree.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: Eighty two. You know, that was the year. I think
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: that eighteam would debut that fall, if I've gotten that right.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: So we didn't know him as bea Barrakashet, So this
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: was largely his introduction to the masses. And how intimidating
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: does he look, you know, with that mohawk and everything
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: and that whole attitude going on. He really just made
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: a huge impression on the movie screens, and you know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: and he could talk of good games, so he like
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: he was a lot of fun to have as an opponent.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: And you just you you weren't sure that Rocky could
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: actually you know, beat him. Like there was a real
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: concern that like maybe Rocky had finally met his match.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: And so that's that's a credit to mister t to
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: sell that. So yeah, I love Clubverlink.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and spoiler alert for those of you that haven't
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: seen it, but he actually does the He beats the
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: crap rock I mean, Apollo beat up Rocky pretty good,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: but Rocky went the distance. Mister T knocks or mister
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: T clubber Land knocks Rocky out. And it's funny that
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: you said this was our introduction to him, Dave, because
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: largely this was the introduction to hul Cogan as well
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: in Rocky Too, as well as Thunderlips, and then those
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: two would team up together for the main event in
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: the first WrestleMania, So I think you know it comes
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: full circle. Really cool stuff. So that's right, all right,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: moving on, Dave, we are up to number seven, and
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I want to know who you got, all right.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Number seven is the only one on my list that
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: I think is more of an antagonist rather than a
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: straight out evil villain. But he definitely fits the profile
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: of the high school bully. But I don't think when
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: you're talking about high school bullies from nineteen eighty cinema,
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: everybody gets in line behind Biff Tenant.
• 40:58
  Speaker 12: What are you looking at the butthead fly? What do
• 41:03
  Speaker 12: you think you're doing? Hey, I'm talking to human fly.
• 41:06
  Speaker 12: You irish bugged it? Hello, hello, anybody, I think fly,
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: what are you looking at butthead?
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: So what's to you butthead?
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: Since you knew here, I'm gonna cut you a break today,
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: So why don't you make.
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: Like a tree and get out of here?
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: And fly? I told you never to come in here.
• 41:35
  Speaker 12: How much money you got on you?
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Well, Biff Tanning, and Biff's on my list, and Biff.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Is also on my list as well.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Okay, so he's perfect.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is the perfect lindsay, where'd you have him?
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: An?
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I had him at number three.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I also had him at number three a way, So Dave,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: what your pick? Go ahead and talk about him.
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: For of all, there's no telling how many times I've
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: seen this movie, probably a hundred times. I don't know
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: if I've ever caught the line McFly, you're an Irish bug.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: That's hilarious. That's hilarious when the mech prefect is probably
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: more Scottish than Irish. But that's Biff for you. Uh yeah,
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: I mean back to the future, iconic movie, iconic for
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: the entire decade, always at the top of everybody's list.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: And when you're making a list like this, you look
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: at the biggest movies, the most memorable movies, most culturally
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: impactful movies, and go who's the bad guy? And so
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: it's easy to pick Biff because, I mean, he did
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: such a great job. That's Tom Wilson playing Biff, and
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: you just absolutely hated him and wanted to see him
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: get his come up. It's and to see him antagonized
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: McFly throughout the decades and throughout history. You just really
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: had plenty of time to settle in and and hate
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: him as a villain.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Lindsay, So he's the he's the bully throughout all of
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: the Back to the Future movie, and ever he never
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: sees the error of his ways. He never changes face
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: on this and so I think that's one reason that
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: he's like the perfect eighties villain, because he stays the course.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I good point. I was going to bring that
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: up as well. You know, it wasn't just the one movie, right,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I mean eighty five Back to the Future, it is
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: probably the biggest movie of the eighties, right, and the
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: most iconic movie of the eighties. But he brings it
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: back again in eighty nine as older Biff, right, who
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: goes back in time with the sports book and makes
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: himself rich, and then again in ninety for or eighty
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: ten and Back to the Future three. So yeah, he
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: was fantastic.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: It's funny like when I go back and I watch
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: these movies now as a as a mom to a
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: fastly approaching teenager and to see him kind of push
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: himself on Lorraine like and that just it takes him
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: to a whole other level for me of just another
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: level of egg yes, where I'm just like, okay, dude,
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: somebody needs to put you in your place. So yeah
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: that I have to point that out too, Like when
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: I first saw Back to the Future, never would have
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: noticed that.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was bad to all the mcflies, right
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: to Lorraine, to George, and to Marty. I think just
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Marty had the upper hand because he knew what kind
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: of guy he was, and he was from a more
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: advanced time, so he kind of knew how to get
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: away with stuff. But yeah, Biff definitely one of the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: best bullies of the eighties and one of the best
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: bad guys of the eighties. All right, Lindsey, moving on
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: to your number seven.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, so this one, I think this guy's a villain.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: But this is gonna be a little bit of comedy.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Relief for us.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: So my next one is Francis Buxton from Peewee's Big
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Adventure Marty pebe Well, Francis, today is my birthday and
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: my father said I can have anything I want.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Good for you and your father.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: So guess what I want?
• 45:04
  Speaker 19: A new brain?
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: No, your bike?
• 45:09
  Speaker 20: Ha ha I, what's so funny?
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Pee wee?
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: It's not for sale, francess.
• 45:20
  Speaker 10: My father says, everything is negotiable, pee wee.
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: the world, not for a hundred billion, million trillion dollars.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Then you're crazy.
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: I know you are, But what am I?
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: You're a ner?
• 45:34
  Speaker 21: I know you are, but what am I?
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: You're an idiot? I know you are. What am I?
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: I know you are?
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: But what am I?
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: I know you are?
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: Am I?
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: I know you?
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I know you are? But what am I?
• 45:44
  Speaker 12: I know you are?
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: But what am I?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Infinity?
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: No, that's certainly the funniest one of the group.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: I love this movie and just hearing those clips it
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: makes me want to go watch it again.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: So one of my.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Favorite scenes of any movie is the bathtub scene where
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Francis has taking a bath in this huge light pool
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: bathtok room and pee Wee has had enough and he's
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: going to get his bike back, And just the hilarity
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: that ensues and the fact that he that Francis pushed
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: pee Wee.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: To violence just goes to show you what an awesome
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: villain he is.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Uh the pee Wee in the pool still in a suit.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: O kay, yeah, he says, in a suit.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the suit can't come off Peewee.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Superman, right.
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is certainly the funniest pick I think that
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: we're going to have all night long. Pee Wee nineteen
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: eighty six. Yeah. Yeah, Uh. Francis played a good villain
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and this was somebody that wasn't even on my radar.
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: Dave, I'm not much to add. It's actually been a
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: very long thom since I've seen this movie. But I mean,
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: I just love the fact his name is Francis. I mean,
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: you know, it's just like it's I don't know, just
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: the way he was able to use that name against him.
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: I just I think that's the funniest part.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: My number seven is what booted ming the Mercyless off
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: my list when Brad brought him up, and then I
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: can hear it, I had to go. So for some people,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: illiteracy may be there.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: El Guapo, would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: What the plethora?
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 47:40
  Speaker 22: Yes, you have a bletherakfe What is a plethora?
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: Well, you told me I have a plethora, And I
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: just would like to.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Know if you know what a plethora is.
• 47:54
  Speaker 17: I would not like to think that a person would
• 47:56
  Speaker 17: tell someone he has a plethora and find out that
• 47:59
  Speaker 17: that person has no idea what it means to have.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: A Oh boy, this was the movie that taught me
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: what a plethora of meant.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Really, Yes, I know, it's a definitely kind of a
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: quote that's used in our house.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Again, absolutely, I always say, whatever you say you have
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of presents, or Emmy has a lot of
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: presence for her birthday, I always say, would you say
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: she has a plethora of presents? But yeah, El Guapo,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: great bad guy, funny movie. So I kind of went
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: off the rails here, But you know, three amigos, very funny.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Our heroes are Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: You don't get much funnier than that. And then we
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: have El Guapo as the evil Mexican Lord trying to
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Mary Carmen and you know, just kill the Amigos.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: It is a stupid movie, but a good villain.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: That's all you got to say about That.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: Says all I've brought to the table. Because I do
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: not like the Three Amigos.
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: I can't I can't follow you there, I was about
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: to say. I was about to say, is this this movie?
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: This movie is hilarious and I think largely underrated. I
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: know our friends at the pop Culture of Year Book
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: are huge in this movie, and I don't blame them
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: one bit, and I appreciate them carrying the flag for
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: it because a lot of people seem to forget this one,
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: and they really shouldn't. This movie is hilarious and to
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: see those three guys together working together, I mean, it's
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: it will if you haven't seen it in a while,
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: rewatch it. It will surprise you of how much you're
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: gonna laugh at this. It is a funny, funny movie.
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: I I I don't feel like I've seen it enough.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: I gotta spend more time with the movie. I'm a
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: huge Chevy Chase fan, and even though it's odd how
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: all his good stuff like ended when the decade ended,
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was a whole it was a hard crash,
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: but in nineteen eighty five eighty six he was flying high.
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: And three Migos is awesome to me. It's got the
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: same premise as a tropic thunder, because you've got actors
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: who think they're working a gig. What they don't realize
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: as they're actually in a real situation, you know, and
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: that that disconnect is the fodder for all of the comedy.
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: And so I see a connection between those two movies.
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: But I give this one a huge thumbs up.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Well, Dave your number.
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: Six, Well, let me see what do I have for
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: number six? All right, this is one that you know.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: At first you might not realize he's a villain, but
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: if he stopped for one second and think about the movie,
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: you realize he actually is. He's not the hero, He's
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: absolutely the bad guy. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger in his
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: star making turn from nineteen eighty four The Terminator. I'm
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: a friend of Siara Kanna. I was told that she's here,
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: so I.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Can't see her statement.
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: Where is she?
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: Look?
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: It may take a while. I want to wait this
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: a bench over there.
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: I'll be back.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Great pick.
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: Dave.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I I was gonna save this till the end, but
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: he's on my honorable mention list. Fantastic, just a fantastic character.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: But go ahead.
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, what can you say. It's the Terminator. I mean,
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: it is one of the iconic movies from the decade.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: It made a star out of Arnold, It's made a
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: star out of James Cameron. It is a fantastic sci
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: fi time traveling action pack movie that holds up to
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: this day. And it was a bold choice for Arnold
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: to make at the time because it was a villain
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: role and he was coming off of Conan and a
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: couple of things like that. He was trying to, you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: to gain his traction as a movie star, and it
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: felt like a risk to not play the hero. But
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: what a good move this proved to be. I think
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: it's the only time he plays the villain in a
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: Terminator movie. But he's playing the villain here, and I mean,
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: the movie speaks for herself. It's just awesome. And you know,
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: my goodness, when you've got Arnold Twarzenegger as originating the
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: role as the Terminator in the most iconic movie, one
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: of the most iconic movies from the decade. You can't
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: leave him off this list.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: So what I remember about the Terminator, and I may
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: be misremembering, doesn't he reach in and grab like like
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: an organ from somebody and like rips it out. And
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: as a kid seeing that.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: I was like traumatized. I'd never seen something like that before.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: That was way too hardcore for little lens.
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of that going around in nineteen eighty
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: four because there was also Indiana Jones at the Temple
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: of Doom.
• 53:05
  Speaker 23: But for sure, yeah, great character, scary character because he
• 53:13
  Speaker 23: was almost unkillable, but he looked human, And you know,
• 53:18
  Speaker 23: I can't describe him, so I'll let John Chriest describe him.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: The Nator is out there.
• 53:24
  Speaker 20: It can't be bargained with, It can't be reasoned with.
• 53:29
  Speaker 20: It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it
• 53:33
  Speaker 20: absolutely will not stop ever until you are dead.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: There's a good villain right there.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: No pity, no remorse, no nothing, basically a sociopath.
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, and you know, at the time, let's just
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: say Arnold had maybe a limited range as an actor.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: H not now, not at all, No, not say its
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: kindergarten copyright. But anyway, so it fit him like it was.
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: That was a role that he could nail, and he
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: absolutely did.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Lindsey, your number six, Okay.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: I struggled with who was going to be six and
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: who was going to be five? So I think y'all
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: will get a kick out of ultimately how I decided
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: that that should go. But number six for me is
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Frank Shirley, the boss from National Lampoon's Christmas vacation.
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: Mark Clark.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: That's Bill, sir.
• 54:36
  Speaker 10: Are you the one who was working on that non
• 54:37
  Speaker 10: nutritive cereal varnish? Yes, sir, I've got to give a
• 54:40
  Speaker 10: speech to a trade group. I'd like to mention it
• 54:43
  Speaker 10: right for a brief summary and have it to me
• 54:44
  Speaker 10: by the end of the day. My pleasure layman's terms.
• 54:48
  Speaker 10: None of that insight bullshit jargon that nobody understands, Yes, sir,
• 54:57
  Speaker 10: don't forget that report Bill, Yes, sir, thank you.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Christmas. There you go.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Is he just about to launch into the.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas?
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: When I lived in the corporate world, I like to
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: use that quote a lot because that was very fitting there.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: But I think we've all known this boss. He's cheap
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: he's pompous. He's definitely prioritizing the company's bottom line over
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: the employees. Christmas present, that's forty sure Christmas bonus.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: You know, is he a villain? I think he is.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: To the Griswalds, he is the Griswolds, and definitely to cousin.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Eddie, you know.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Ultimately, now I think the difference might be with Frank
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: versus some of these other guys.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: He realizes the error of.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: His way, Yes he does, and so he does change
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: and makes up for the Jelly of the Month club
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: subscription that he's given for their Christmas bonuses that year.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Much like Johnny Lawrence when he handed Danielson the trophy
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: and said, you're all right, Larrusso yes.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: But Brian Doyle Murray, he plays. He's a good character actor.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: He's fantastic Dave.
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: So, so you know, this character's it's more of the
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: character's influence on the Grouse Walls more than his actual
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: presence on the screen. Right, So they're having to deal
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: with the circumstances. This god's created, but you largely don't
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: see him in the movie. And then when you do
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: get him, you see it's Brian Dole Murray and that
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: just icing on the cake. So I mean, he's always
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: a lot of fun and uh and to me it
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: bookends the nineteen eighties for Chimmy Chase quite nicely because
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: Brian dol Murray is also in Caddyshack, so I like
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: having that symmetry there also. But yeah, I mean, great movie.
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: My favorite vacation movie easily, and it's it's in my
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: annual rotation every December.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Every December we're watching that. It's not my favorite vacation movie,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: it's my second favorite, but every December we're watching like
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: it more now than I do the original. All right.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: My number six is from the nineteen eighty five kids
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: classic The Goonies. Mama for Telly.
• 57:16
  Speaker 23: White Capparoni.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Come Away, run Away, I said, not away now, always
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: take a sight you always likes better yet.
• 57:28
  Speaker 11: But he's been here.
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: The core is broken.
• 57:30
  Speaker 13: Check your brother.
• 57:32
  Speaker 10: Well, I'll show.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: You better again.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not going back to the.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Super Just don't up sha, all right, so you can
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: do the Foratellies all together. Mama for Telly or the Fortellies.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: But I love her. She chains up one of her
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: sons that she dropped, you know, on the floor. Many times,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: and then says, I'm not going back to the zoo again.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: She tries to blend Chunk's hand. She shoots at kids
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: trying to find a treasure, and then when there's more
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: than enough for everybody to go around, she makes sure
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: that those kids get none of that treasure, even making
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: mouth spit out the pearls that he had hidden in
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: his ironically enough mouth. Mama for Telly, great Batty.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: So I actually have Mama for Tlly as my number one?
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, she's my number one. You mean to tell
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: you why now? Or you mean a hold on? No,
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: go ahead, talk about it, because she is in.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: My list at least the only one that she truly
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: is a bad guy. It's not she's not misunderstood. She
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: has no redemption at the end, like Biff could be.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: Biff is heading in that direction, and he does ultimately,
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: but like she's done the jail time for it.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: No arguing.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not gonna argue.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are too easy. Did y'all take something
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: before we.
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: Say, hey, look, these are just all awesome movies. I
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: mean there's no there's it's hard to make a bad pic.
• 59:14
  Speaker 6: I actually don't have her on my list, but I
• 59:17
  Speaker 6: can't argue with the pick the Goodies of course, another
• 59:20
  Speaker 6: iconic movie and so much fun such just like the
• 59:24
  Speaker 6: perfect kids adventure movie that just captures all the wonderment
• 59:28
  Speaker 6: and all the imagination and you know, the Fertilities are
• 59:32
  Speaker 6: the bad guys in it and absolutely deserves a spot
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: on this list.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah to me, it's the Indiana Jones for kids.
• 59:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right, Dave, we are entering the top five.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering what your top five looks like.
• 59:46
  Speaker 6: Listen. I know you have picked a rocky opponent, and
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: I like that Rocky opponent, but there is one better
• 59:57
  Speaker 6: and if you disagree, I will break you. It is
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: Drag from.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: I can like feted real Jumpion soon Ho what live
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 12: know my Navy.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Draga Drag. If he dies he does, no, Yes, I
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: must break you. There you go, Dave, don't break me.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: If he dies, he dies the coldest line.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: Of hell evil can you get? Look? I will shamelessly
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 6: plant my flag on the hill. That Rocky four is
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 6: the greatest sports movie of all time. This is the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: height of Reagan era eighties. It's the United States versus
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: Russia boiled down to a boxing match. It is Rocky
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: representing all that is good in the world against drag.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: You cannot be this ultimate iconic matchup of freedom versus oppression.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 6: And this is just you know, stars meant better, Just
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 6: Rocky four, Drago.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Lindsey.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: So, I think I said this in a recent episode,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: but Drongo scared me. Then Drongo scares me. Now I'm like,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: I'm literally scared of him. I wouldn't want to run
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: into him anywhere. I saw him at the grocery store,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: I would high tail it out of there.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Drago's a great bad guy. I had to pick
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: one of the two, either Drago or clubver Lang, and
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: clubber Lang was my introduction to Rocky. Rocky three was
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: my introduction to Rocky, So that's why I chose clubber Lang.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: But Drago's certainly worthy of this pick. He does kill Apollo,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: he does say if he dies, he dies. But like
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: I said, he was the tool of the instry. But
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: I will agree with you, Dave, that it was the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: height of Russia versus USA. And you know, Rocky ended
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: the Cold.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 6: War, and that's right, he saved the world.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: And while I disagree with your pick of Drago over
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: clever Lang, I will say if I can change and
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: you can change. All right, Lind's your turn for number five.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, might be a little controversial.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: My number five is Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 6: Nobody puts paid you in the corner.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 19: Sorry about the disruption, folks, but I always do the
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 19: last dance of the season. This year, somebody told me
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 19: not to, so I'm gonna do my kind of dancing
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 19: with a great partner.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: It's not only a terrific dancer.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 19: Somebody who's taught me that there are people willing to
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 19: stand up for other people no matter what it cost him.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: So definitely he's not a traditional villain. But let me
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: tell you again, as a mom of a fastly approaching
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: teenager who happens to be beautiful, you better get your
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: bleeping fingers off my kid. Why did we think back
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: in the eighties that baby's father was the villain?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: He was the only rational person there.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, he was the only true adult thinking clearly. But
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: what is romantic about a forty ish grown man and
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: a seventeen ish year old girl.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: That's disgusting.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Oh that was like? That was like when Dylan dated Brenda,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: ninety year old man dating a seventeen year old girl.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 6: Oh away, all right, So let me weigh in here,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 6: because nineteen eighty seven, I am in eleventh grade, and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 6: so I am surrounded every day in school by sixteen
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 6: and seventeen year old girls. And I can tell you
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 6: that all was forgiven because of Patrick Swayze. It was
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 6: all about Patrick Swayzee. Patrick Swayze eight nineteen eighty seven.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 6: All the girls just wanted to be Jennifer Gray.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely. And listen seventeen eighteen, nineteen, twenty year.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Old Lens she would have loved Johnny Castle.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: But forty six year old Lens.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: So, while not the villain in the traditional sense, and
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: maybe the protagonist of the movie, I'm gonna say, listen, dude,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: keep your hands off my seventeen year old daughter. And
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: you surely ain't dirty dancing with her, teaching dirty he dance,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: and here he comes up. I normally do the last day.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: I always do the last Get over yourself. You're not
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: doing it this year. Yeah, that's all there is to it.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: I got some to say about him.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: So I got a question, Yeah, who's creepier Johnny Castle?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: Biff Tannan or Kip Winger Johnny Castle?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Why I'm not sure, that's a good question.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: So Biff at least was a high school legs. Now
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: he's a future rapist for sure. But Johnny Castle, he
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: should know better. He's he's like forty five, he's got
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: grandchildren at this point, and he's hitting on the seventeen
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: year old. He's hitting on Ferris Mueller's.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Sister, which could have put him on a on a list.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: For the rest of them. Oh he's yeah, he's He's
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: on a list for the rest of his life for sure.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to say this, So my brother has
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: a fan theory. My brother Matt, when he shout out
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: to him, has a fan theory that Johnny Castle ends
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: up going to prison for his ill illicit relationship with
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Baby and then uh comes out of prison and because
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: he is an offender that goes on a list, he
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: changes his name to Dalton and moves to Missouri to
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: be a bouncer in a bar that checks out.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: I'll go with that, Yeah, all right.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: My number five comes from what I thought was the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: greatest movie of all time when I saw it at
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: seven years old, and that is nineteen eighty one's Superman two.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 6: I rn.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 24: I always is there no one on this planet to
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 24: we even challenge me.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: I am General Zod, your ruler. Yes, today Hedy begins
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 6: a new order.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 10: And when you do come to me, Superman, if you
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 10: dare might defyre you come.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 19: Come I near before Zod, Come to me, son of Jero,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 19: Nil before Sir.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: Niil before Zd. So we just lost Aaron Stamp a
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Uh he played General Zod. And
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: let me tell you, I was absolutely terrified of General
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Zodd as a seven year old, and I thought that
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: he was going to kill Superman. And I thought that
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: he had killed Superman because that's what the people in
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: the movie were saying, that they had killed Superman. And
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: so I just like I said many times, I thought
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: this was the greatest movie ever. I had the little
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: trading cards for it. I've said it on this podcast
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: many of times. I studied those trading cards like people
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: studied the Zapruder film. I picked a part, every little
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: scene from it because I love that movie so much.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: General Zode, great guy, Terrence Stamp, great actor, did a
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: great job as General Zode. Go down one of the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: best villains of all time. And that's actually what started
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: this episode was when he passed away, I tweeted one
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: of the best villains from the nineteen eighties, and then
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: that spawned this show. So that's why we're doing this.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Terrence Stamp, who would also go on to play, ironically enough,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: the voice of Jarrell in Smallville. Oh wow, Lindsey thoughts.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: I've got nothing to add.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: When you came to me when he passed away, and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: you were like, can you believe this? And I went
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: who You're like, he played the best villain. I'm like, what, who?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: So I don't I can't add anything.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Dave, I know you've got stuff to say.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean Superman two loomed large for me
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 6: nineteen You know, my like clear conscious memory go into movies.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 6: Really comes into focus with Empire Strikes Back and Raiders
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 6: the Lost Arc right eighty eighty one, So nineteen eighty one,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 6: so many great movies coming out. Saw Superman two in
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: the theater, blown away by it. I thought General Zod
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 6: and the other two evil Kryptonians were the coolest ever.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 6: You know, I was a superhero fan already, and so
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 6: much of especially Superman stories, whether it's the nineteen fifties
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 6: TV show or those lame super Friends cartoons. Superman never
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 6: fought a super villain. He just fought like bank robbers
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 6: and street thugs and you know, stuff like that. And
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: finally he gets to go up against a super villain,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 6: which I thought was the coolest thing ever. So I
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: I've got General Zod. As a matter of fact, I
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 6: go ahead and tell you General Zod was my next
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 6: pick on my list, So I've got him at number four.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: I have to be careful though, when I watched this movie,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 6: because my wife has a thing for Terrence Stamp as Zod.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: You would think Lindsay, you would think that she was
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: looking at Tom Selleck.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, now I understand.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 6: And like if she walks by the room and he's
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 6: like nil before saw it, She's like, okay.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: I'll tell I'll tell you that. One of the one
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: of the coolest moments of my life was a few
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: years back. We were living with Lindsay's mom because she
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: was sick, and I was flipping through channels and Superman
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: two just happened to be on and Emmy comes walking
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: into the room and just lays down on the bed
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: and was just absolutely fascinated with the movie. Now, we
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: didn't get to watch all of it because it was
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: getting close to her bedtime. But she was just absolutely enthralled,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: which I thought was awesome because here she is watching
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: this movie from forty years old or almost forty years
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: old at the time and was just as enthralled as
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: a little girl as I was as a little boy.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: So that was one of the That was one of
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: my happier moments in life. All right, lindsay, so we
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: I just did my number five. It's time for Dave's
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: number four, which was my number five, which was General's ad.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: So then we're gonna move on to your number four.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: Ooh, okay, my number four is ed Rooney from Ferris
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: Bueller's Dale.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 21: So far this semester, he has been absent.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Nine times, nine times.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 7: Nine times.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: I don't remember him being sick nine times.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 21: That's probably because he wasn't sick. He was skipping school.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 21: Wake up and smell the coffee, missus Bueller. It's a
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 21: fool's paradise. He is just leading you down the primrose path.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: I can't believe.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 21: Oh, sure, you know I'd be happy to Yeah, you.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 6: You just produce a corpse and I'll release Sloan.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 21: I want to see this dead grandmother first.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 22: Tend It's all right, Grace, it's Ferris Buellah, little torp.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 22: I'm going to set a trap and let him fall
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 22: right into it.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, why is he so obsessed with Ferris?
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I got that answer for your question
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: right here, here we go.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 7: I don't trust this kid any further than I can
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 7: throw him.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: Well, with your bad need, you shouldn't throw anybody.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: It's true.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 21: What is so dangerous about a character like Ferris Bueller
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 21: is he gives good kids bad ideas.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 21: Last thing I need at this point in my career
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 21: is fifteen hundred Ferris Bueller disciples running around these halls.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 22: He jeopardizes my ability to effectively govern this student body.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: He makes you look like an asshid But.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: He's driven by his ego here right, I mean that
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: is his ego is getting the best of him.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: I mean he takes it so far.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: He trespasses get to the Bueller property, He breaks into
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: their home, he destroys property, all just because he's trying
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: to catch Ferris Bueller lying and skipping school. He just
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: he just takes it too far. He's a funny villain,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: but he's a villain.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, Dave.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So yeah, basically I'm gonna say the same thing.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 6: So what makes him such a great villain for Farris
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 6: Bueller is that he clearly takes it so personally like
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: he is just specifically after Ferris. I mean, a principal
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 6: should have other things he needs to do during the day, right,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: but no, he's gonna get Ferris. So and of course
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: it's another one of those the hero is the is
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 6: the rebel, and so you want him to be able
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 6: to play off of the authority figure. Jeff Johnson. I
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: think he's the actor here. He does a great job
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 6: with it or no, Jeffrey Jones is the name. Sorry
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: sorry Jeff, but and he nails it, does an awesome job.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: It seems like a William Atherton role, to tell you
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 6: the truth. But Jones does a good job with it.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did a good job with that. And then
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: the next year with Howard the Duck, which was a
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: really weird movie.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: Look, I really need to apologize that, Jeff john because
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: there's toff about Jeffrey Jones. I'm not going to talk
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: about Jeff. I don't mean it. I'm sorry.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: So Ed Rooney as a teenager, I absolutely was on
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: Ferris's side, right, Ed Rooney was the spoiled he was.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: He took it personally, he is. He's a funny character
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: for sure. But yeah, he does trespass, he does break
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: and enter. He does get his butt kicked by baby
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: before she goes in dirty dances.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 9: Huh.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: But as an adult who deals with a lot of
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: unruly teenagers, I am now on Ed Rooney's side.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: No, I don't need.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: Sixteen hundred Ferris Bueller disciples running around and creating havoc
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: at school or on the baseball team, or at church
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Ed Rooney, I got your back.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: Oh No, I don't now that I'll ever look at
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: you the same again.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: All right? My number four is I'm just gonna say
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: it is from nineteen eighty eight. It's Hans Gruber from
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: die Hard.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: for there were no more worlds to conquer. Benefits of
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: a classical education for them again, and give me my detonators.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 5: Where that.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: Talk to me? Where am I detonators?
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Where are they?
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: Or shall I shoot another one?
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: We had never seen a bad guy that was so
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: brilliant and so prepared for a situation and had his
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: team of Hinchman just take over Knaka Tommy Plaza and
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: really just get foiled by John McClain. But boy, he
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: had a perfect plan that was only foiled by one thing.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: And let me just say that this was a brilliant
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: performance by a first time actor and the only thing
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: that I can compare it to was Edward Norton in
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Primal Fear for his first movie, where it was just like, Wow,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: this guy should probably win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: He was just just genius and fantastic bad guy, very intelligent,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: very educated and knew what he needed to do.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we lost him too soon.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: I don't really have much to add about the character
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: but that the actor was phenomenal and he's been gone now,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: been gone, yeah, like maybe nine years. It's it's been
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: longer than you would think.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: And that's sad.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Alan Rickman.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely incredible performance by Alan Rieman. Easily top two
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 6: movie of the decade for me. It's right there neck
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 6: and neck with Waider's The Lost Art for my favorite
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: movie of the eighties. And what an incredible performance. You
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: gotta love Hans Kruber as a villain, And You're absolutely right.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: He was smart and that's what made the movie. That's
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 6: what made him so formidable, was seeing how well planned
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 6: his whole scheme was, and it just looked like they
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 6: had every detailed nailed down. They were going with military precision.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: There was just no way they were gonna be able
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 6: to get beat. And he just played it ice cold.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 6: He was just incredible. I mean, what a debut performance.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: So I'll tell you I have Hans Gruber at number
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 6: two on my list.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, we have another crossover, Dave. We are
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: we have made it to the top three. My three
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: and my one have been taken. I have a feeling
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: my two is going to be taken by you, either
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: here or on your number two. Maybe your number one,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see who is your number three.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 6: My number three is well, I'm saying I'll know how
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: to build this one up. The iconic villain of the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 6: Star Trek movie series, I have to go with Ricardo
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: Multiban as can.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 5: I shall leave you as you'll left me as you
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 5: left her, my own for all eternity in the center of.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 6: The dead planet.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 22: Married a line, married a line.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: I love the echo there of your boy Bill Shatner,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: your grandpa Bill, is you like to call screaming Con? Dave?
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: Tell us why you picked Con as your number three?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: I mean goodness, consensus pick is the best Star Trek
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: movie ever. Right, that's still to this day. We the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: series stayed alive through the seventies thanks to his fans.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: We finally got a movie that reunited everybody. In the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 6: late seventies, it largely disappointed. It was it was novel
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: to see the cast back together, but the story was
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 6: kind of lacking. The pace was kind of lacking. To
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: hand it over to new director Nicholas Meyer, and he
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: not only like gives it more action, more of a pace.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 6: He to reimagine Starfleet as a navy right. This is
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: essentially a submarine movie that takes place in outer space.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 6: But he did the brilliant thing of digging back to
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: the original series in the sixties, finding a villain from
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: an episode that he could bring back. And that's exactly
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 6: what happens. So we tied this all the way back
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 6: into the original series and Ricardo Montlebond in the role
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 6: of a lifetime, absolutely chewing up every single scene that
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: he is in the ultimate foil to Captain Kirk, the
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: perfect Star Trek villain you can you can't miss with kN.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: So my dad was a Star Trek fan. I know
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: he watched it a lot when I was little, in
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: syndication and such. I was never a big fan. I
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: did have for some reason. I did have the Star
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: Trek Original Motion Picture lunch box when I went to
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: like first grade, but I am so I am not
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: a Star Trek fan at all. However, I will say
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I loved Star Trek two. It was to me more
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: like Star Wars than Star Trek, and so I absolutely
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: loved it. I remember being sad when Spock dies at
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: the end, because he was one of those iconic characters that,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: even though I didn't really watch it, I knew who
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: he was. I remember being sad. And Ricardo Montaban I
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: could not believe that the guy from Fantasy Island was
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: a such a bad guy. And b had an Arnold
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger type chest which was clearly fake. But when I
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: was eight years old, I did not know that.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 6: I look at that chest now and I think of
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: where Al in his Rambo suits.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything about Star Trek other than William Shatner.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: So I love William. I love you some William Shatner. Yes,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: all right, Lens, go ahead and give us your number three.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: My number three again is Fiftannon from Back to the Future,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: and we've talked about him.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that was your number three. That was also
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: my number three. So now Dave you get to go
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: back to back here you're too.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: My number two is Hans Gruber, so pass the mic.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: Okay. So then Lindsey, it is your turn for your
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: number two.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: We're putting it back and forth here. Okay.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: My number two is Richard Vernon from nineteen eighty five
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: to the Breakfast Club.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 7: Well, well here we are.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 9: I want to congratulate you from being on time. It
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 9: is now seven oh six. You have exactly eight hours
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 9: and fifty four minutes to think about why you're here,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 9: ponder the error of your ways.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 7: And you may not talk, will not move from these seats, and.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 5: You will not sleep.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 9: All right, people were going to try something a little
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 9: different today.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 7: Sit down, Johnson, Thank you, sir. My office is right
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 7: across that hall. Any monkey business is ill advised. Any questions, Yeah,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 7: I got a question. Does Barry Man alone know that
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 7: you rate his wardrobe.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 9: Give you the answer to that question, mister bender. Next Saturday,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 9: we'll mess with the bull young man. You'll get the horns.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: He just gives me the X.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: So what he claims his issues are with the students,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 3: it's really his flaws, his character flaws, which is the sign.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: Of a narcissist.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: He's projecting.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: He's projecting, and that's what in our does.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: So when you think about because he says they've got
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 3: bad attitudes, they're disrespectful, they're selfish, they're lazy, he's describing
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: himself and he just gives me the X. But then
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: also his willingness to go real quickly to physical.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: Violence with a student.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: He's a teacher on Yeah, he was certainly the foil
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: for kids that found themselves there, some of them good kids,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: one of them a really bad kid, but with obviously
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: with a troubled childhood, and rather than trying to take
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: the time to get to know them and figure out
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: what the problem is, he just comes in laying the
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: hammer down.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: Why is he a teacher? Why doesn't he just go
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: sell used cars?
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe? Do you think that guy could sell used cars?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 6: Probably not so, lindsay, how many on your list are
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: like sitt in high school. I feel like there's several there.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: Were, Yeah, there were, for sure, But you know what,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: there was something about the eighties.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: I think that we had a lot of high school movies.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah we did, We did, for sure. All right, So
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: that was your number two. My number two is from
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: two different movies in the nineteen eighties, nineteen eighty and
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: then again in nineteen eighty three. He reprised the role,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: and that is the baddest man in the galaxy, Darth Vader.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: It is useless to resist.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 6: Don't let yourself be destroyed as all be wanted. There
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: is no escape.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 24: Don't make me destroy you. Join me, and I will compete.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 24: Your training with all combined strength can end this destructing
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 24: conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: I'll never join you.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 24: If you only knew the power of the dark side
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 24: will be woe.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: Never told you what happened to your father.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: He told me enough, He told me you killed No I.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 7: Do your father.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: I love the I am your father, and then the
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: so Dave, I'm assuming this is your number one.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: My number one, absolutely the very first villain that popped
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: into my head for the eighties.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I saw star Wars in the driving many, many,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: many times, because as I mentioned, my parents were divorced.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: After the divorce, my mom went out on a lot
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: of dates, usually with me in tow and which I
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: don't understand because I lived with my dad, So I'm
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: not sure how I ended up with her out on
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: dates but one, yeah, exactly, but a lot of drive ins,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: and so I think I went to the drive in
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: and saw Star Wars probably about nineteen seventy eight, And
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: then anytime she went back to the drive in to
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: see another movie, Star Wars is playing on some screen
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: and that's where my attention was. So as a little
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: four or five six year old, I absolutely loved Star Wars.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: Was fascinated by it had all the action figures, all
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But then nineteen eighty rolls around, and not
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: on a date, my mom takes me to an actual
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: theater to see Empire Strikes Back, and that's when we
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: get the reveal that Darth Vader is actually Luke Skywalker's father.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: And I was I mean I was six, right, so
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: didn't understand a whole lot, but was still blown away.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: How could this bad guy be the father of our hero?
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was born in seventy one. I absolutely
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 6: saw the first movie in the theaters. But what I've
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 6: been able to figure out through detective work once I
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 6: got older, I don't think I saw it in seventy seven.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 6: They actually re released it. You know, the days prior
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 6: to VCRs and home video, hit movies would come out
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: several years in a row. So I believe I saw
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: it in nineteen seventy eight in the theater. My dad
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 6: had seen it in seventy seven, took me to see it.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 6: I was seven years old. Our introduction, the world's introduction
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 6: Darth Vader when he comes busting through that wall right
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: when they're boarding the Rebel Cruiser, I mean, quite an
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 6: impression on seven year old David. Darth Vader has always
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: been the ultimate bad guy. I'm nine years old seeing
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: the Empire strikes back. That's where like, to me, strikes
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 6: back is the zero event for movies. Like everything's either
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: pre empire or post empire when it comes to Hollywood movies.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 6: So I'm nine years old and Vader claims to be
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 6: Luke Skywalker's father. Now the playground was split right down
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: the middle on if he was telling the truth or not.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: Half the kids were like, can you believe he's the dad?
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, he's the bad guy. He's lying, bad guys. Lie,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 6: there's no way he's the dad. And this debate raised
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: for three years. Don't think about it. Three years. I'm nine.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 6: Jedi doesn't come out un till I'm twelve. That is
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: a quarter of my life. Like three years was a
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 6: long time for a nine year old, and so we
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 6: were just this debate was never ending. Nineteen eighty three,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: the movie's coming out, my dad and I go see
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 6: it on opening night. It's one of my great memories
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 6: of my dad. I remember clearly the theater lobby be impact.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: We were in a long line, there were people in costumes.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: Everybody was wanting to find out if was the dad
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: and how all this was going to end. Man that
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 6: I was the Star Wars Action figure generation. This was
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 6: my childhood. So there is no way anybody was going
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: to be number one except Darth Vader.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll get to why he's number two for
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: me when as we wrap up. But Lindsey thoughts on
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Darth Vader.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: I think that he not only is deserves that number
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: one spot here on our list, he might be the
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: best villain of all time.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he just maybe he just may be the best
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: villain of all time.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: And how much that is James Earl Jones's voice.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, not one, but it's the majority of
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: it for sure.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 6: Man, so good.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: So I think we've all had our number ones then claimed, right, Dave,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: because your number one was Darth Vader.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: My number one was the Joker, and your number one
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: was the Word the Fortellies. Right, So we've made it
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: through our top ten. That's pretty cool, Sonna. I'm gonna
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: explain the reason why I put the Joker above. Darth
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: Vader is my number one. It's not because he's more iconic.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: I tried to find a balance between iconic and just
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: pure evil and pure bad. And Darth Vader does redeem
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: himself at the end when he does save Luke from
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: the Emperor. He could have just let the Emperor Palpatine
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: kill Luke and then go on to rule the galaxy
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: with the Emperor. But there is just a tiny bit
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: of good left in him. The dark side didn't consume
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: him fully even though we thought it did, and so
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: he redeemed himself. Therefore, that's why I bumped him to
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: number two, but certainly he is probably the best villain
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: and the most iconic villain probably of all time, if
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: not for sure the eighties. All right, So with that
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: being said, who did you find it?
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 7: Did?
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: Did anybody find it difficult to leave off an anybody?
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: Any honorable mentions? Lindsay, did you have any honorable mentions?
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: Or was it pretty easy for you to come up
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: with the straight top ten?
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: So so, yeah, I left somebody off that I shouldn't
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: have left off. And I'm trying to look up his
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: name right now and I can't find his name. But
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: John Lithgow's character in Footloose you should have been on
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: my list. I know he was the preacher, but I can't,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: for the life of me, figure out what his name was.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: So this is what's funny. So we have a very
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: loyal listener from my hometown of Saint Louis, Missouri. Call
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: him Pastor Pete because he is a pastor, but he
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: also runs the Twitter feed nineteen eighty five Heck of
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: a Year about the nineteen eighty five Cardinals. And he
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: was dming me one Saturday as he was catching up
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: on some of our episodes, and he said, I know
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: you never watched Footloose because you don't watch movies about dancing,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: But I just want to say I just rewatched it recently,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: and my view from when I watched it as a
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: kid to now has changed, considering that I have a
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: sixteen or a seventeen year old daughter or teenage daughter whatever,
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: you know. At first I went from the pastor being
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: mean and kind of the bad guy to kind of
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: maybe agreeing with him a little.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: Bit, so he was Reverend Shaw Moore.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, So I thought that was funny that, you know,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: how our views changed as we get older.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, I think it happens with Back to the Future
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 6: and Dirty Dancing. We've looked at things a little bit
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 6: differently and Breakfast Club an Farris Peeler. I mean, as
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 6: you get older, your perspective can gene that's for sure.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Footloose was another movie from nineteen eighty four.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's don't forget to point that out.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 6: Dave.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: Did you have any honorable mentions or was it easy
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: for you to get your top ten?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 6: It was pretty easy for me to get top ten.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: The one that almost made it was Johnny Lawrence, but
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: I figured I would leave that debate alone, so Freddy
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: Krueger got thenad in above him. But I think you
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 6: can also just kind of in general just say Russians. Yeah,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: and you know that kind of covers half the movies
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 6: of the eighties, you know, or Communists. Okay, so that
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 6: way you get all of the Vietnam and Rainbow movies,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: and you get the Cubans invading Us at Red Dawn
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 6: and all the other Russians that. Yeah, so I'll just
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 6: say communists in general for this communism.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: So you could say communism, or you could say Nazism
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: Raiders and Last Crusade, right, so I did have a
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 6: little bit different, by the way, and also the Illinois
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 6: Nazis from the Blues Brothers.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, so I mentioned Ming the Merciless got cut
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: at the very end, so I could add Aguapo the Terminator.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: I had him, but he didn't make the list. At
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: Rooney was also one of my honorable mentions. And then
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: three that we didn't mention. The Duke of New York
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: from Escape from New York played Isaac Hayes. I considered him, yes,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: in two baseball movies because you know I love baseball.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: Judge Banner from the natural, the owner who was trying
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: to make his team lose so he could swindle the
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: other half of the team away from Quaker Oats diabetes,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: Wilfrid Brimley.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: What year was there, Jill?
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: That was nineteen eighty four.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, thank you.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: And then also another owner of a baseball movie, Rachel
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Phelps in nineteen eighty eight's Major League because she wanted
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: the team to be so rotten that attendance would be
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: so low that she could move her team to Miami,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: which would have been disastrous, as we've seen the Marlins
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: not be able to draw flies and they've won two
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: World Series. So those were my honorable mentions that didn't
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: quite mate.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: I'm going to nitpicky there a little bit, just because
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 6: I know you're triggering Jason Colvin right now. But Major
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 6: League was nineteen eighty nine?
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: Was it eighty nine?
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: I do that all the time. Eighty nine run together
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: for me, So there you go.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: I think we got a pretty comprehensive list of it.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: I think we did pretty good.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: My list definitely is very different from y'all's, but that's okay.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: Hey, if we make a watch list of these movies
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 6: that are that are represented by these villains. I'm having
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 6: a good day. That's a good movie marathon for me.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, No, I don't have a problem with your list.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be different, and that's fine.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: I'm nothing wrong with that. I liked it so and
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: the Francis thing cracked me up. We're here at the
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: end of the show, so you know what I gotta do, right,
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: I know, not a louch. Here's our final stance, Dave.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: We have five movies from nineteen eighty four and nineteen
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: eighty five. We have three from eighty six, two from
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: eighty eighty two, eighty seven, and eighty nine, and one
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: each from eighty one and eighty eight. Eighty three does
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: get represented because we have Darth Vader in eighty and
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: eighty three as well. Darth Vader and Biff Tannin are
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: the only ones that got us more than one movie.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: They were in two movies each, or three if you
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: want to count nineteen eighty ten for Back to the
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: Future three, so we've got a really good representation of
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: the decade here. We also have four aliens, two Boxers,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: two school administrators, two time travelers, a Mexican, a West German,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: a Russian, a karate champion, and a statutory rapist.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 6: Well, listen, I hate to be this guy, but I'm
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 6: gonna pick you one more time. We actually get Johnny
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 6: Lawrence twice. He's in the opening scene of Credi Kid
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 6: two from nineteen eighty six.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, right, though, yeah, he was more you kind
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: of felt sorry for him at that point.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, yes, he makes an appearance.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: He was a right boy. And then the real villain
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: of the Cobra Kai Kris is trying to choke him out.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 6: Hey, you're right, he's not the villain of Tardi Kid two,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 6: but he does make an appearance.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: We also, I forget to mention, we also had a
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: burnt up dead dude who visits you in your dreams?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: And where's the sweater in the summer? Well, if you
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: liked our list, great, let us know how we did,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: and if we miss something, let us know. I'll tell
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: you what. I put this out on Twitter yesterday and
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: we got fantastic responses. So yeah, I love the responses
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: that we got. It was. It was wonderful, So very
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: happy about that. Hopefully they'll like this show and then
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: let us know what we missed Dave. We want to
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: thank you once again. Let's plug Apples and Oranges. Even
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: though that was a limited series podcast, it's still out there.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: People can listen to it. Tell us what it's about.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So, Apples and Artist ran for about seven months
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: last year and it has proven to have a really
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 6: good shelf life. I think it's something that will always
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: be relevant. But it is Beatles versus Beach Boys. We
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: stepped through the decade of the sixties and we matched
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 6: albums from each band up against each other in a
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 6: series of one v one matchups, and I think by
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 6: doing it the way we did, we kind of hang
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 6: a light on how the trajectories of the two bands
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 6: were parallel throughout the decade. Like they start out with
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: the simple radio hits, they both increase in their depth
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 6: and complexity, pushing the limits of pop music, and then
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 6: they both step down and bring it back to basics
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 6: and simplified before the decade's over. There's a similar path,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 6: but there's a lot of comparison points between the two bands,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: and we just had a lot of fun. I did
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 6: that with my son, who was eighteen years old at
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 6: the time, and he is a musician and brought a
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 6: lot of music insight to it that I couldn't anyway.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 6: Apples and Oranges. Beatles Versus Beach Boys is on all
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 6: the major podcast platforms and it's really a lot of
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 6: fun and we both learned a lot doing that series.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: If you don't mind, I'd also like to plug my
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 6: YouTube channel. I go live every Tuesday night, nine o'clock Eastern.
