  Speaker 1: and we're gonna be just discussing movies and our love
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of movie. He's an appreciation of movies, and we're gonna
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: get into some religious movie talking. This isn't gonna be
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a you know, a full on religious show, but Johnny,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you know, has his Art of Heaven show. So we're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: gonna get into some you know, religious discussions on.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Faith based Ye can't help, but like this is what
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: life is about. Yeah, we're all about film today, Yes,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: all types of.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Film, film and fun and we're gonna have you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: our little Art of Heaven spin on it. But let's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: talk with David David tan d ten, independent filmmaker. How's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it going. Are you excited to do this?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Man, it's my first time on the radio. Yeah, I
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: don't know what to expect. Honestly. Let's talk to Johnny
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: about this, and he's more excited than I am. But
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm excited to talk about movies. Maybe
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: we'll try not to argue about movies.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But we'll be arguing the great Yes, there's no, there's no.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I won't be an argum.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Let me start the first argument off religious show. This
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: is a religious special. Batman is religious? Justin why do
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you say? Why do you think Batman is religious? Yeah?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I walked away from watching Batman a change man. Yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you it inspired me, well, fight the evil.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of actually comic books are
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: based on religious stories. You know, Superman, I think being
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the most famous one has been equated to Moses. And
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you know, there's just always been that fine line of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: comic books and religion. So I'm sure comic book movies
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: also take some of those stories that are thousands of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: years old in the Bible and they've been equated to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you know, modern age. And we'll certainly discuss Batman. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: love my Batman movies. I saw David had a Batman
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: movie on his list.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Don't they say that about Star Wars too.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Star Wars, Yeah, even the Matrix definitely has religious themes
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: around it. But we're gonna be you know, finding out
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit about David. So when did you first
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: find an appreciation for film? Was it at a very
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: young age?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You know, my family, we we're a movie going family,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: all five of us. We would go out to movies.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You know probably uh, I was probably underage for a
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: lot of the movies we saw, but that's okay. You know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: we go to Blockbuster, had a Blockbuster membership if people
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: remember what Blockbuster is. Yeah, basically any movie would go
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: out to watch, you know, back in the day, like
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Arno Schwarzenegger movies and all those action movies.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I was just playing the theme from Commando Nice, which is.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: One of my Terminator too. I still remember sneaking in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to see that movie as a really young miner. Wow,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Terminator too, that was the most epic movie that came
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: out at that time.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish I did get I did get to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: see that in theaters a few years ago they re
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: released it for whatever anniversary they did, But that's definitely
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: one that I wish I could have seen in theaters
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: when it was initially released, because that just missed out
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: actually on my list. So we all have lists of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: our favorite movies, and we're gonna get to that as well.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But David, as far as your you know, your filmmaking,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: did you go to school for this?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Is that something from school Rochester up it's upstate New York.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Good school got a you know, interesting program where we
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: got mixed with live action people with animation people, so
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: we got this kind of like uh cross collaboration situation
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: going over there. But originally I didn't. I didn't wasn't
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: gonna go to film school. I was gonna do archaeology
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: for a little bit, and I switched to film, which
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: is an interesting kind of a switch. But I think
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: what happened was, you know, I want to make videos.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I wanted to make movies. I wanted to make stuff,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: not just fine stuff. And so yeah, I made the switch.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: There's a whole story there too, in terms of like
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: really praying to God, like what do you want me
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: to do? And we went out to go see Clash
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: of the Titans when that came out with.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: The Liam Mason one, Yeah, yeah, I released the Kraken
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like, yo, this is a terrible movie.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: But you know, the weird thing was that we walked
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: out of that theater and we're just still talking about
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the movie hours later, still talking about the moon. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: was like, why are we still talking about this was
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: a bad movie. And so I was this epiphen he
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: came to my mind, and I wondered if it was, like,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you know, I believe, you know, FRIENDLY believe that, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: maybe it was God kind of instilling some some thought
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: about movies in general, but just thinking about, wow, even
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: a bad movie, people still talk about it. But what
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: if it was a great movie and people talked about Jesus,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: people talked about God, people talked about life, people talked
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: about like real things, not just you know, you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: just the little things and movies that people hate, like
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: special effects and CG and all that stuff. But you
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: know what if they talked about real stuff, like movies
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: that had topics or themes that that everyone relates to
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: you and can talk about. Yeah, And so that that
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: started the journey like really like like going getting getting
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: really serious into too filmmaking and stuff like that. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: honestly like movies doing up my whole life watching movies
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: my whole life, really in to it. Whenever sick days.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: My favorite days are six days as a kid going
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to Blockbuster, barring movie, spending hours Blockbuster perusing the aisles,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: you know how like you're on Netflix or something and
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: you're having trouble picking movies because you're just scrolling the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: all time. Yeah, no, I missed going to Blockbuster, walking
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: up and down aisles.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I've said that probably fifty times on this show. There's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: too much on these streaming services where you get overwhelmed.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And Blockbuster and Hollywood Video and all these shops they
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: had a large selection, but when you picked something, you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were stuck with it and you were going to watch
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it that week, and regardless Nowadays, people will start a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: movie on Netflix and if they don't like it within
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: ten minutes, they stop it, and then they don't even
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: give it the time of the day. And sometimes a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: lot of these movies take time to build. I would
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have turned off half of the movies that I ended
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: up loving if I had something like Netflix. So I'm
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: so blessed to have grown up where you only had
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a few movies that were playing on TV at one point,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: or when you went to Blockbuster, you rented it, you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: were watch it and you're probably gonna watch it two
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: or three times before you you know, returned it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And then just the fact that you had
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: like two or three days to watch it. Yeah, it's
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: basically on a time crunch to watch it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's an incentive, like you have to watch this
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: because it's going away. Yeah, mom and dad are bringing
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this home.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I'm the type of person that I have to finish
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: what I start.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Even today, even with a streaming thing.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: In my mind it there is a very, very like
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: small category of films that I watch that I that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I've turned off and said, nah, I can't go on anymore. Yeah,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: but ninety percent of films like even if it sucks.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I said, I'm started this, I'm gonna take away something
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna enjoy it and move on.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I'm with you for the most but I just think
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: majority of the people, if you pulled one hundred people,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: especially younger generations, I would say that they end up
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: watching something because you know, they're on TikTok, They're on
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: all these services that have, you know, micro seconds to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: get your attention, and if you don't like a video,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you're gonna flip it and you know, scroll up and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: not watch it or not look at it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So you got like three seconds of people's attentions exactly.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: So I kind of borrowed a little of that strategy
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: into watching movies these days, especially for streaming, because my
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: rule is if you don't got me in the first
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: ten minutes, I'm gone in the first ten minutes. Like this.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: In the music industry, they say the first two tracks
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: is the only thing that the record labels listen to.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta sell them in the first two
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: songs on the album.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Even just listening to a single. If I if I'm
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: just listening to a song, I will know within thirty
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: seconds if I like it. You know, by the time
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it gets to the chorus, if it doesn't catch my attention,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I'm moving on to the next trip.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: He drops. You're done.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, David, as far as your you know, career goes,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: is religious movies something you really want to focus on?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Would you deviate from that? Would you would you do
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: something that isn't religious? Or is that your main point
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: So in terms of religious movies, you know, I'm not
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: a huge, huge fan, Like there are some that are okay.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: As far as making them, goes now, for making the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is that something you really want to do or do
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you just want to make a movie regardless?
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So I just want to make a movie because I
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: think there are a lot of universal themes that can
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: carry over between those kinds of those kinds of films.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Because I think you could look at I mean, Johnny
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: brought it up Batman is a religious character religious movie. Right,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: It's like that kind of thing where you can talk
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: about any movie in like a religious framework. It's like, yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: you know, so I think for me, it's just making
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: a good movie, I think, and at the end of
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the day, make a good movie, tell a good story.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: You know, it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna cross over
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: wherever it's gonna cross over, You're gonna have conversations where
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have conversations. So I think it it really
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter. I think it's an end of day. Tell
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: a good story and then make a good movie.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Speaking of good movies, David, you're rocking the Back to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the Future two T shirt right now. And I'll be
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: honest with you, I've talked about this before. I think
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the first movie is perfection. I think the second one
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: does have a lot of flaws. I do love Back
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to the Future too, but I just don't think it
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: nearly holds up as well as the original movie. But
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: speaking of also great movies, today is the fortieth anniversary
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of Goonies, which is one of my favorite eighties films
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of all time. I did see it in theaters just
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a few months ago. They re released it, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: for the anniversary. But is there a decade that you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: love more than any other decade? For me, it's the eighties.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of film critics and you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: snotty people, snooty people tend to like the seventies. That
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you know, when your Coppolas and your scorseses and you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Spielberg's all got their start for the most part. Is
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: there a decade that stands out to you, David?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: The nineties, the nineties into the two thousands? What about Yeah?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: What about it? Is? Is it you know, the Tarantino
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: types of films? Is it special effects? What is it
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: about the nineties?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Like, there was something about the nineties where everything was
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: just booming. Everything wanted to be entertainment, everything needed to
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: be like it didn't need to be anything more like
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: than just entertainment. It was just fine. It was good storytelling,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: good scripts, like unique kind of fun ideas that were
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: coming out. And this is like, I mean, I would say,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: like the nineties obviously came from the eighties, but it
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: was just kind of like this weird time where a
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: lot of movies were being made.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And unfortunately, if you look at movies today
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that are released in theaters, ninety percent of them that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: are successful or based on existing properties. There's zero originality.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: If you look at any top ten list of highest
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: grossing movies every year, it's based on a book, it's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: based on a movie, it's a prequel, it's a sequel,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it's based on a theme park attraction or a video game.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It's very rare that you have an original story. You know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Oppenheimer came out a few years ago in theory. That's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: not even an original story. It's based on a real story,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you know, a real guy. Yeah, so it's very rare
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that it's like something original created. Cracks the top twenty
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: for highest grossing movies of all time, Johnny, is there
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a decade that stands out for you? Like this was
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: my decade of watching movies?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that late nineties into two thousands.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: There was some special films in that season, but I
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: like movies that came recent movies. I like this last
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've we've set the bar like really high.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Its so this is the thing. Nineties are hit or
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: miss with me. I think, like, you can watch the
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: nineties movie that I grew up on that I loved
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and swore it was the most epic movie ever, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I go back and revisit it with you know, my daughter,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: and she's like, Yo, this movie's kind of whack, you
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like think about it. Yeah. Yeah,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So it's something about that to it with the nineties
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: but then there are a few select nineties movies I've
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: seen on some of our lists here ye that are
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: phenomenal movies despite the technology or CGI or any of that.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a very good point. You go back
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and look at something that you thought as a kid
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: was the most epic thing in the world, and then
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you realize why you're I hated it because now you're
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: older and you're like, yeah, this is pretty bad. And
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: if I wasn't seven or eight years old while watching this,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: probably would have hated it as well. So, uh, yeah,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I try and go to the movies as often as possible.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I have a regal unlimited movie pass h so you know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you pay a set fee every single month and you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: get to see unlimited movies. So I just see everything.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I see the worst of the worst. I see movies
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't fathom of paying for, you know, years ago,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: but I'm not paying for it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: In my mind, I was gonna ask, like, how do
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: you feel about that, like watching movies that are bad,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: like like watching it through you know, is that a
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: waste of time or do you.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Feel like no, I think I could get enjoyment out
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: of anything. And I will laugh at how bad some
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of these movies are. You know, I watched Megalopolis last year,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: which was a movie by Francis Ford Coppola, which I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: think cost two hundred million dollars and he was trying
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to make it for years and I think he funded
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: majority of it himself. And it was one of the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: worst things I've ever seen in my life. But I
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: was captivated by, you know, just the choices that or made.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And you know, in my mind, I'm thinking while watching
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the movie, how did the producers think that this was
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a good idea? Why would they do this? And in
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: my mind, I can watch it unless it's boring. If
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: something's boring, that's the ultimate sin in my opinion when
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: it comes to a movie. Megalopolis was terrible, but I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: was still, you know, enthralled with what was going on,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and I didn't find myself looking at my watch and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you know, waiting for the movie to end.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I got an example for you. I just watched Unhinged.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Unhinged, that's Russell Crowe movie.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, who Russell Crowe, by far is on the top
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: of my list.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: There's one of the best.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, every movie that man touches, he puts his
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: heart and soul into and and you know, acts well
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: but unhinged man, he he brought it. I mean, it
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: looks like this dude gained wait for the movie. He
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: was kind of like this this character, you know, coming
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: out of a divorce, kind of this disheveled and and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: he put everything into it. But the movie, it was
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a good movie. I mean, people would have turned it
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: off at the beginning, you know, and I enjoyed it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I sat through it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: You know, well, if you go on Rotten Tomatoes, especially
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: if you look at movies from the nineties and eighties,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you'll see that the critics hated a lot of movies that,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: in my mind were classics. You look at you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: all of Adam Sandler's movies, and a lot of them
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: are bad. But you know, like you're happy Gilmore's never
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: got good reviews. Tommy Boy movies like this were you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: panned by critics. So you know, I think a lot
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of critics today are more accepting of certain things. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I like to judge things by myself, though I look
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: at what the Rotten Tomatoes score is, but I try
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and go into each movie with an open mind and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: just you know, view it for what it is.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: But justin, you're like the smartest one in the room.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I always try to be. I
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: don't want to be the smartest guy in the room.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: But justin, what do you think about that that Rotten
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Tomatoes you know rating system?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I personally, I think there's there's a problem with it,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: because say you like a movie, but you don't love it,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and you give it a passing grade, it gets a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: C plus right in theory on ron Tomatoes, that would
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: mean it's a successful movie and the critics would give
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: it a positive review. It doesn't rate it on a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: scale of like some of these other websites where they'll
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: take the average score and they'll rank it out of ten. No,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: they'll just they literally just say if the critics said
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: it was fine, that makes it positive. So I think
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: there's things that can be improved with Ron Tomatoes. And
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I also think that having that score out there has
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: actually ruined a lot of people's viewing habits. I think
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it has made people not want to go see certain
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: movies and not judge it themselves. There's nothing worse than
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: hearing somebody say I don't like that movie and you go,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: did you watch it. No you don't like it, but
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you never even saw it. You're just basing it off
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: of what Ron Tomato said. Or you know, back in
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the day, you had a few critics that I would
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: listen to, you know, you're Cisk Birch with the big ones,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and if they liked something nine times out of ten,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I would like it. Now there's too many voices out there,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and not everybody has a good opinion.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Honestly, there's a thing now, it's called review bombing. You
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: ever heard of that, Yeah, that's happening.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that happened to Amy Schumer's comedy special. Basically, if
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you don't like somebody, you just go online and uh.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Group of people will just write bad reviews and so yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: it just gets shoots to the bottom of algorithm.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And you also, I don't trust any of these studios.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: They'll pay these these people. You know, Oh, you want
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to get access to our stars for interviews, or you
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: want to do this, you want to do that. You
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: got to review this movie, and it's better be good
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: or you're not going to get any access behind the scenes.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: There's got to be some investigations started into Rotten Tomatoes
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and this whole thing I think. I think there's yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: is there Paola going on there?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Definitely is. I don't think it's ever going to go away.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Face the guy who's like in jail or whatever
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: for for like like assault charges and stuff.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Harvey Wine.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he used to pay out people to go on
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: the street and like do reviews for the movies or
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: go pay them to go watch the movies.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: What's wild is majority of the movies that he produced
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: are actually really good movies, you know, all those Weinstein
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: movies and Mirramax was the company that he started, tended
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to be like Oscar quality type of movies. So the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: fact that even somebody that had something that was good
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: still didn't have faith that you know, the critics would
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: review it properly and he would pay.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: It was I mean, I mean it's a business still
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: for a lot of people.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a skive business that has done horrible things.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Hollywood is like just you know, filled with all these
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: horror stories from you know, back in the silent era.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: They talk about draining the swamp in DC. They need
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: to drain the swamp in Hollywood, right. Oh yeah, Just
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: to wrap this thing up about rotten tomatoes and reviews. Though, yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: honestly I trust them. I trust him. My cousin's actually
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: the first person to put me on man like. He
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: was like, yo, before we watch the movie, got to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: look at the reviews. This was like maybe twenty years ago, fifteen,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago. So I started doing that. And when
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I when I'm considering a film, I'll go and I'll
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: look at the reviews and all and if it has
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: a high high, if it has a low rating, I'm
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: not gonna watch it. Typically, but then the high ones
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I watch, and maybe it's just me. I love film.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I love a majority of movies.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Check it out, check it out.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: They're accurate in my opinion.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: This is the way I kind of do it. Like
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I realized if I if I were to make a
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: list of all the movies, right, there's not enough time
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: in one lifetime to watch all the movies. So I
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: don't look at the reviews. I go watch the movies
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: i'm interested in because I have no time, you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: and time's precious.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: So I love this topic.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what I look at is the critics and the audience.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: If they are both good. If a snooty film critic
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: likes it and then your average you know, American likes
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: it as well. That's something that I tend to like.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: If we have an eighty percent critics and an eighty
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: percent audience, nine times out of ten, that's gonna be
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a good movie or at least something that I enjoy.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: My other litmus test is my mom's whenever you watch
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: a movie, if she's not falling asleep, it's a good movie.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll see if people that I think have terrible opinions,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: if they like the movie, I'm like, all right, this
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: movie is definitely terrible. Like if that guy likes it,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: if the guy in my bowlingly likes it, that it's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be a good movie.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I'm that guy, dude.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if Johnny recommends me a movie, I'm not why.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I love like a lot of movies, man, Like, it
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: has to really really suck for me to not take
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: something away from it in a positive light.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing. There's movies out there that you
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: would think no one likes, and that's somebody's favorite movie. Yeah, Like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: there's so many people out there that have their own
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: opinions and then does something I'll always stand by if
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you like something that's your opinion. I would never want
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to change anybody's opinion. I could disagree with it. But
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: if you like a song, if you like an artist,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: if you like a political party, if you like whatever,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that's your thing. Like I'm not here to change your mind,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: but I'm here to tell you why I think I'm
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: right and you're wrong. But at the end of the day,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I don't want to change what you like, like that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: would just be selfish and in my mind.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Look, one person's junk is another person's treasure exactly.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna get into some more movie discussions.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: How about when we come back, we're gonna play some
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: music right now, play a little bit of the Beatles.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: We're gonna come back, and we're gonna go over So
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: we all have our top ten lists of movies that
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: we like. Yes, so how about we go over ten
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: through seven on our lists. So we're gonna get to that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: We are back on the radio, Rumble the Voice of

• 22:58
  Speaker 1: our love of movies. Before we get to that, Johnny,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: can you just do a little you know, synopsis of
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: what your shows are about, so you know, our listeners
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: know what Art of Heaven is all about.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: The Art of Heaven plug you know, I didn't even
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: mean to get into this. Yeah, let's do it, though
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: you're putting me on the spot. Listen Art to Heven
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Wednesdays ten to midnight. Every Wednesday, I do a show
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and uplifting, faith based show, playing primarily Christian hip hop.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: That's that's my thing, you know, but all genres of
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: that that, you know, faith based music. We got hip hop,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: R and B rock, reggae, gospel intertwined with some worship music.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Sometimes people don't understand what worship music is is basically,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I play music that are by artists who are actually
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: like pointing people to God, so to say.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: And then your Friday show has a news spin on it, right.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I got a second show started called Art
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: of Heaven News Talk, and that one's really cool. It's
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: out of my element. You know. A wise person once
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: told me that, like, you know, take advantage of every
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: opportunity and get out your comfort zone and try new things.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So I threw myself into this project called Already Heavy
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: News Talk, where we deliver global, national, and local news
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: through the lens of faith. And it's we oftentimes compare
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: stories to scripture and kind of like has this end
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: of Time End Times Book of Revelation, kind of a
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: conversation always occurring. And it's a fun one man, because
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: when you look around the world, it's kind of chaotic.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Oh is it I haven't noticed? Yeah, So that's Friday's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: at three.
• 24:35

  Speaker 1: list of our top ten favorite movies, and I have
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: some honorable mentions before I get to my list, so

• 25:35
  Speaker 1: action movie goes, which is another one of those must
• 25:38

  Speaker 1: Like actually, there's only room for ten. All right, that's
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the trouble we got, all right.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: One movie I actually really liked was stand by Me.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, so good.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, can't. That's one of those they don't need CGI
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: and technology. That movie is phenomenal, just storytelling exactly right.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed the Town. Yeah right, but yeah, that
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: movie's just I can watch. That's the type of movie
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: when I when I just want to get my mind

  Speaker 2: off things and do nothing. I watched that movie and
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I'll enjoy it every time.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: FLEX made a lot of good movies. I know he

  Speaker 1: gets a lot of crap for some of his bad
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: movies like g Lee and whatnot, but he's made some
• 26:32

• 27:34
  Speaker 2: over and over and over.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, come to find out true story. I'm watching one
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: of those talk shows, you know, early two thousands, whatever
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: it was. I don't even remember what the talk show was,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: but there was a kid interviewed on the talk show
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: that was locked up for like life in prison or something,
• 27:55

• 28:16
  Speaker 1: of people will say, oh, music made me do this,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you know, Oh Marilyn Manson made me commit this crime,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: or Mortal Kombat made me do that. In my opinion,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's just bad parenting and an excuse because
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: we watched all these movies growing up. And you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I never want to rip someone's spine out after playing
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat. I think if you have a parent, explain
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: what this is. You know, I watched wrestling last night
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: with my niece and nephew, and I was explaining what
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: it is. And you know, they're not trying to tombstone
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: pile drive one another. They just, you know, if you
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: have the right system around you. I think it's a
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's a lame excuse to blame video games and.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Movies, but I think they have an influence at all
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: on you.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, I'm not gonna say no one was influenced.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: There's definitely somebody that watched a movie or read a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: book that has done something horrific. I mean, all those
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: people that read Catcher in the Rye. There's like three
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: or four examples of people reading that book and then
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: trying to assassinate or assassinating someone. I mean, the guy
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: who killed John Lennon was was reading that book and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I believe left it at the site where he murdered him. So, yes,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: but you know, people were doing awful things years ago.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, Ganghis Khan was, you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: playing Grand Theft Auto. I left watching that, dude, I
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to be Batman. Yeah, sometimes movies inspire in a
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: good way. Also, So let's get to David, did you
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: have any honorable mentions or oh?
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Man, when you asked the ten for top ten, I
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: was like, I got a hundred, but like, I don't know,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I got Demolition Man. You ever seen that movie?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Still trying to figure out the three Yeah?
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the three Seashells. I don't know us three sea shells?
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: All right. Lord of the Rings.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Never could get into them. I know, I know they're
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: well made movies. Yeah, but I just I don't know.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I think I got bored with them. I do want
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to sit down and actually watch Can we.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Pause about that? Because you know I'm not into them either.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: What is it about Lord of the Rings?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Well, the lore is great, the story is great. There's
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: the allegory of like you know, it's got some religious
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: like allegory to it. The magic, the action, the acting
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: performances is awesome. The CG at the time, this is
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: like two thousand and one or something like that. Yeah,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: it was amazing. And then you had all like heavy
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: hitters in that movie. Yeah, I know, and just the
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: story is getting music's great.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I need to go on a long vacation and watch
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: them all.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you know, watch a clip, Just watch
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: a clip, from Two Towers for the second movie, Oh yeah,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: I just watch a clip.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: If you just watch the fight scenes, they are amazing.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: They are well made movies. I did see the second
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: and third one in theaters and then I like them,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: but they were never you know, Star Wars for me,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: they never reached that level of you know, this is
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the trilogy to watch.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: So so if you grew up on Star Wars Lord
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: of the Rings with Star Wars for me interesting, you see,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: it's like interesting like that too, because that's like my child.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: And I remember my brother took me out on the
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: school night, Monday night. Sorry, mom, go watch Lord of
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the Rings the first one, and this is like the
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: second time watching it too, So that's like six hours
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: of my life.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: But now they have director's cuts, they're like four hours long.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: So Johnny, you might need a few weeks in that
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: retreat to watch these movies because then they have the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Hobbit movies as well.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: See, it was X Men for me.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I love the X Men too, like.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Wolver Raines and all the backstories.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Wow, the X Men cartoon was fantastic as well. They
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: brought that back last year. X Men ninety seven really
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: really good. In fact, it's better than the animated show
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: from the nineties. It's a continuation of that series and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it's it's amazing. David, you got any other honorable mentions?
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Ford v Ferrari. You ever seen that?
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I like that last year or two years ago.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: M M Hook, I got hook.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love Hook.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I like Hook. I've gone back and watched Hook. I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: don't think it's aged well. But John Williams music in
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that is some of his best work, and the sets
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: are phenomenal. There's a rumor that Michael Jackson wanted to
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: play Peter Pan and Steven Spielberg was like, no, we're
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: not going in that direction, and allegedly Michael Jackson put
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: a voodoo curse on Steven Spielberg and a few other people.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Throughout the years, there's articles all about it.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: It's justin is a world of information, you know, you know,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: it's so many facts.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: But that's so specific too. Yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, you got anything else on your list
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: honorable mentions?
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I got Top Gun, Maverick, I got Master and Commander.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I got Rush Hour on here, Saving Private Ryan, Shanghai Noon, Spotlight.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Just let's start with Shanghai Noon. That's one that. I
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: think this is a hot take right here, superior to
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Rush Hour in my opinion. If I was to watch
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: a Jackie Chan buddy film, and I love Rush Hour,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it's bad. I just really love
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the dynamic of Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan and I
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: think the sequels even good too. The Shanghai Knights.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: In fact, my boy, my boys in the soundtrack for
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: rush Hour too. Oh wow, oh wow, Yo, shout out
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: to ft. You know what I mean.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Let's go wow.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Rush Hour too. I remember seeing that in theaters, laughing
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: my butt off. That was a good one, David. Anything
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: else before we move on to our actual top ten.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Nacho Libre interesting, never watched it, even though I'm a
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: diehard wrestling I like Napoleon Dynamite and you know that
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: same director.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, rush Hour, not your Libra man. That's a great movie,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: So let's move on to our actual top ten. So
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: we're hearing right now The Dark Knight, which is, uh,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: you know, the great score by Hans Zimmer, one of
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the best composers of all time. David, you have this
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: at your number ten if I'm not mistaken.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, It was hard to place this. Honestly,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: it was hard to place it because it was just like,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: there's just so many movies, and it's just like, this
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: is a great movie.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: The hype for this movie was unreal. I think with
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the passing of Heath Ledger and added this aura of like, oh,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: this is his last work, we got to see this,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and obviously, being Joker, Batman's main nemesis, was already gonna
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: put butts in seats. And I really do enjoy Batman
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: begins so at that the last scene and Batman begins
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: where you see the card of you know, the Joker.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: It got everyone in that theater hyped up for what's
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to come next. I really do love The Dark Knight.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I think it has its flaws, but I really really
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: love that movie.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Do you know that Heath Ledger he did his own
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: makeup that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I've seen some of the behind the scenes, you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: images of him doing.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: He gave it all.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that role that pretty much killed him unctually.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if I've ever seen a role
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: played so well.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: He did win the Oscar, and I'm wondering if he
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: would have won that if he didn't die, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it might have been one of those sympathy sort of
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you know sometimes the costumeous.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I think I think he changed the game for the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Joker character.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I feel like redefine it after Jack Nicholson. Yeah, yeah,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: and I do.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: My hot take is I love Batman from nineteen eighty nine.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: That's my favorite Batman. Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton won. I
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: actually think the best one is the most recent one
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: with Robert Pattinson. Really, I love that. That's like art.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: To me, it's like controversial. It is controversial, but I
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: think it's if you just visually look at that movie,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: it's one of the most beautiful movies of all time.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Wait, I'm lost controversial.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think most people would say The Dark Knight
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: is probably the best one.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Well, everyone loves Christian Bell. Everyone's thinking like like when
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: they're watching this new Batman, They're like, this is a
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: really slow movie.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I much slow. Here's the thing. I think Christian Bell
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: is a fantastic Bruce Wayne. I don't think he's a
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: good Batman. I don't think Robert Pattinson was actually a
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: good Bruce Wayne. But I think he's the best Batman.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: His version of the Batman character and the action and
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the way he looked I thought was lights out. But
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: he got the Dark Knight in at number ten on
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: your list? Ye, where do you have here? Number ten?
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: My number ten? Nine ten? All right, right, here we go.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: There's a movie that a film that came out recently
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: called Nefarious.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Nefarious, Not familiar with it?
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: You have to go watch this movie, all right. It
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: is about a character on death row and they send
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: in the psychologist to confirm if the person's insane or
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: not and can go through with being executed. Right he's
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: on death row. Yeah, So the interaction between these two
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: characters is just a phenomenally written film.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I always find it so sad when you hear these
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: true stories of people that are put to you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: sentence to jail for sixty seventy years, and then they
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: get released when they're eighty and they're like, oh, he's
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: actually innocent. Sorry, here's a million dollars, but sorry, who
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: wasted your life in prison? I watched the documentary about
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the West Memphis Three. I've talked about that a few
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. These three kids that were wrongfully accused of
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: murder and spent twenty plus years in prison and they'll
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: never get those years back. And obviously the worst things
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: happened to them in prison. You know, I'm not going
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: to get into details what happened to them. If you
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: watch the documentary on HBO Max, you know you'll you'll
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: find out. But it's always so sad. But uh, yeah,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that movie is streaming anywhere. I'll have
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: to give it the world.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: You know what's funny. You can actually watch it on
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: YouTube for free, like the original of the official film.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, a lot of things are put out
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: there just for free.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Which is yeah. But otherwise it's on Amazon Prime all right. Yeah,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: nice nefarious, great movie. The guy I won't even you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: give it all away. But the guy is claims that
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: he is demon possessed and that you know what I mean,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: that that was the reason that he committed these.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Interesting and how do you you scale?
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: And it's funny, it's funny. I'll just leave it like
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: this because you got you're gonna see it. In the film,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the guy on death row says to the psychology, He's like,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: before you leave here today, you're gonna commit three murders
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: and they gut last one. He's like yeah, right, and
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: I'll just leave you with that. The film is sick.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: The film is awesome, Johnny with the ultimate teas. Oh
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: now we're all gonna have to watch it. My number ten,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I believe if you turn around your water bottle, can
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: you give me the three sixty?
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I see the symbol, the no ghost symbol I got
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: at number ten. The og from nineteen eighty four Ghostbusters,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a movie I've had the pleasure of seeing in theaters
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: probably four or five times for various re releases. I
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: love the chemistry of that cast and the sequels Unfortunately
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: never captured that magic. Ghostbusters two, although I like it,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: not a very good movie, Bill Murray sort of just
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: phoning it in. But that original movie with dan Aykroyd
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: and Harold Ramis and you know, the great Rick morani
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Is playing Lewis Tully, the beautiful Sigourney Weaver, and then
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Peter Venkman played by Bill Murray. That chemistry was so great,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and the improvisational skills that those people had being able
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to create these characters that have stood the test of
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: time for over forty years. Mix that with the science
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: fiction aspect with the paranormal aspect. I mean this is
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: multiple genres. You got your romance, you got your comedy,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you got your action, you got your sci fi, you
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: got cool special effects, you got the Ultimate Card, the
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: ecdo one, you got all the props. I mean, I
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: just love looking at the the you know, the the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: proton packs and the ghost traps and the you know,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the meters that they're reading to find the ghosts. I
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: just love every aspect about that movie. Unfortunately, the sequels
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: never captured that magic, but that og for eighty four.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: You know, Luckily they got the Long Island Ghostbusters and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: actually my buddy Angelo is part of them, and he
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: used to host a show here that would follow my show.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: And they do a lot of great charity work. So
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Long Island Ghostbusters, if you just search them over on Instagram,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you can find them at a lot of local conventions
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: doing their thing, and all all the merchandise they sell,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I know, goes directly to charity. So oh yeah, yeah, However,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: that house does exist.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Pasley, talk about Long Island.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of you know, great movies
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: that are filmed here on Long Island, and also you
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: know a lot of movies set on Long Island and
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: TV shows as well, So let's give a shout out
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: to Long Island. Let's move on to number nine. We
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: got a number nine favorite movie of all time. I'll
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: start with mine, actually, and then you guys we'll follow suit.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Number nine is a comedy and they are making a
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: sequel which looks terrible, and it's coming out on Netflix
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: in just a few weeks. The name of the movie
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: is Happy Gilmore, and I love Happy Gilmore. Unfortunately, Happy
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Gilmore too does something and I haven't seen the movie,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna judge it when I see it. But
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: based on the trailer, it tries to recapture all the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: same jokes that the original did, and to me, that's
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: so lazy. You're just regurgitating the same thing. Oh, Chubbs
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: has a son whose hand is also oh damage. Oh
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: this guy has another you know, fight with an elder
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: man like he did with Bob Barker. You're doing the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: same jokes. You're bringing back the same punchlines. Oh, I
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: ate pieces of blank for you for breakfast. They literally
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: are copying the same lines from that movie and a
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: lot and I'd hate to bring it up, but a
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: lot of the audiences don't even realize what they're seeing,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and they're just sort of sheeps and they're like, I
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: remember that.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: Yay.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: It's the whole member Barris thing that South Park pokes
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: fun at. And that's pretty much what I got from
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: that trailer for Happy Gilmore Too is pretty much the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: ultimate Member Barris, just you know, regurgitating, but that original
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Happy Gilmore. Can still remember seeing it with my dad
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: and brother in theaters. I watched it a few weeks
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: ago they re released it to set up, you know,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: this new one coming out, and I was laughing, my
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna curse in front of you guys,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: my buttocks off while watching Happy Gilmore Too. I see
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I'm taking steps. I would have dropped that if you
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: guys weren't here. But I love Happy Gilmore, the characters,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the chemistry, the story. I love a good sports story.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I love a good underdog story. And Happy Gilmore has
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: me laughing unlike any other movie, So I love it.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I love Sandler back.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: In the day, you know, true story, true story. I
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: had a Happy Gilmore poster in my room. Wow, that
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: was bought for me because I love that movie so much,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: so good.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I think it influenced a lot of people to even
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: start golfing. I know me and my friends would go
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to the driving range and we try to do the
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: happy Gilmore shot quickly though Johnny. Speaking of posters, Johnny
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: gave me a Ninja Turtles poster, maybe like a year
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: ago or something about that. It's unbelievable. I have it
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: hung up on my wall. It's an iconic image of
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: them from around nineteen ninety. It's all artwork, and it's
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: one of the many great things that Johnny has done
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: for me. So shout out that Ninja Turtles poster and
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: shout out Happy Gilmore. Coming in at number nine, let's
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: go to you, David. What do you got is your
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: number nine favorite movie of all time?
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: I got The Holdovers?
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Why don't we actually play a little sample of the Holdovers?
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: We got?
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: We played the trailer for The Holdovers real quick right here.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I'm because this is one of my favorite movies. So
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: why don't we give a listen to the Holdovers trailer?
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: You just earned yourself in attention, sir.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: You was already one big son of.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Sir.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I don't understand.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: That's glaringly apparent.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I can't fail this class.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Oh don't sell yourself short, mister coach, I truly believe
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: that you can.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Every year at Barton Academy, students, faculty, and staff depart
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: the campus for a two week winter break, but there
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: are always an unfortunate few who have nowhere to go
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: for the holidays. They're known as the holdovers.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Mister hand, Hello, Mary, I had you got stuck with
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: babysitting duty this year?
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: How'd you manage?
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Dead?
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: You know it used to be a student, right, That's
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: why he knows how to inflict maximum pain on us.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: And I thought all the not he's were hiding in Argentina.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I live tully.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: All right. There's just a little sample of the Holdovers
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: trailer from that movie starring Paul Giamatti, And I just
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: saw that the kid in that movie was cast something
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I forget.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: He's somebody now you see me.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Now you don't know he's gonna he is in that movie,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: but he's gonna be playing somebody like a famous figure.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna look that up. But explain the Holdovers, because
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: you mentioned that this is a movie that you recommend,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: especially watching during the holiday season. I loved it. It
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: was one of my favorites. So what do you like
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: about it, David, Well, the.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Movie's about It takes place at a private school and
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: a professor who's kind of like the low tier, Like
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: nobody really likes him. He's like angry guy. He's just
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: a sad guy. Nobody likes him. He gets stuck watching
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: like the holdovers, who are the students who can't go
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: home for the holidays and they're just stuck at school.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: The movie mostly takes place where it's just the professor
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: and one student who doesn't get to go home. And also,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I guess the the.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Cook the cook, Yeah right, yeah, yeah, there's one of
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: there's a woman that plays an integral part in this
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: movie as well.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I love this movie is a Christmas movie because it's
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: about three people who are instantly who are essentially like
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: rejected or they're going through something like broken people who
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: together form a family. Yeah it's a beautiful film. Yeah.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Does it beat Christmas Vacation?
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Different types of movies.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen this movie.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I looked it up. So the kid's name is Dominic SSSA.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be playing Anthony Bourdain in a biopic about
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Anthony Bourdain.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's the way he passed away.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Unfortunately he took his life a few years ago.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: But that's gonna be one that I think is gonna
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: be a must watch. I think it's about a trip
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: he took in the seventies. That's what the movie is
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: gonna be about. But yeah, Holdovers was funny, it feel good,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: definitely emotional, and you know there's there's twists and turns,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: and you know, you learn more about the family. And
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I love the movie trope where there's a curmudgeon sort
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: of older guy and you think he's choclus and then
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: you realize, oh, he has like a heart of gold
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: underneath all that, you know, layers of not being a
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: nice guy. Yeah, and they do that in a lot
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: of movies, and I thought this this was definitely one
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: of the better examples. And it shot really well. You know,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: it takes place in the early seventies, and it has
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that filter over it where it looks like it was
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: a movie that could have been filmed in the seventies,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: And I wish more movies actually took that route and
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: made it look like older type of movies.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Is that a technique?
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I think movies are going back that way. You know,
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of people are shooting film again. Yes, Like
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: this recent movie like Sinners came out, it was shot
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: on Imax film. The whole thing, The new Jurassic World
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: movie shot on film thankfully. Yeah, No, like to recapture
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: that old Spielbird original. Yeah, that feeling that that film
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: gives you. Yeah, there's something about film where it's like
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: the physical material and the grain and everything like there's
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: it gives off a different feeling, the way it focuses,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: the way that the colors come out, the way that
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: a person feels when you watch the movie. Like compare
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: it to like digital where everything's super sharp and it's interesting.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: There's a whole conversation about film versus digital. People are
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: always talking about like like like what do you do
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: with digital? A lot of people are still throwing like
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: film grain on digital to recapture that.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: That just seems lazy. It is like a snapchat filter
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: you put.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: It's cheaper. It's cheaper that I mean, it comes down
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: to money, right, It's cheaper, and.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I guess it's quicker to edit. You know, you could
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: see right away without having to you know, develop the
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: film and look at it. So yeah, that's definitely something
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I really appreciated though about The Holdovers, Johnny, your number
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: nine favorite movie of all time?
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: All right, man, I look at I tend to gravitate
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: towards true stories documentaries like I like true stories. I
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: like to actually watch something that actually happened.
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: So number nine on my list, I went with Hotel Rwanda.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Never seen it?
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: What you gotta see? None of the can Can we
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: make a pact here today? I'm gonna We're gonna watch
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: each other's movies that I'm gonna watch The Holdover.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, I will watch Hotel Rwanda, okay?
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: And Nefarious Yes, okay. Hotel Rwanda. It it really like
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: is a story about the genocide that occurred in Rwanda
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: in Africa, and they, you know this this whole clan
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: just went around and slaughtering like one hundred thousand people
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: like it was a lot and with machetes all over,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: and they you know, there was two sides. There was
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: a political war. So there was this guy with the
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: hotel and he was supposedly, you know, on on the
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: one side that was doing the slaughtering, but he was
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: secretly housing in sane like a massive amount.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: So it's like a Shindler's List sort of story.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Exactly interesting, exactly.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: That's definitely something I would like. Yeah, I'm gonna check
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: it out. And I love don Cheatle, so I'm gonna
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: check that out. Let's go over our number eight movies.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: This is one that again I'm so lucky to have
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: seen these. I wish I got to see the original run.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking at this list and there's only three
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: of these that I haven't seen in theaters, and there's
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: only one two. There's two of them that I've seen
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: during their original runs. The rest of them, you know,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: were before my time, but they grew to be favorites.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Number eight I did watch last year for its thirty
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: fifth anniversary, and it is a sports movie in a sense.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: It is a mystery, it's a comedy, and it is
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: an emotional roller coaster. And that is the Kevin Costner
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: James Earl Jones classic Field of Dreams, which is d
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: yes and it got the spiritual sense to it as well,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: and you know, it talks about loss and you know,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: maybe you were in a relationship with a loved one
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and you fell out of favor with them, and for
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: somebody that lost his dad at a young age, this
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: is definitely an emotional movie for me. At the end
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: of the movie when they have a catch, you know,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: in Kevin Costner's character asks his dad to have a catch.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: It's just one of those really emotional scenes. In the music,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: James Horner's score. Music is so important. As we're hearing
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the Hans Zimmer track from The Dark Knight in the background,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: which Johnny thought it might have been a little bit
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: too loud, I'm breaking the fourth Well, I don't care.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I think music is so important to movies. If you
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: have an emotional scene but they don't have the right music,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: you're not getting it. And then also a really bad
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: movie could be elevated because of the music and what
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: James Horner's music did for that movie. It elevated what
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: was already a fantastic scene. It's an emotional story about
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: a guy coming to grips with his father leaving him
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: at a very young age and getting into a fight
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: with his dad. And you know, also and you know,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: you have the story of baseball and building a field,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: and you know there's there's supernatural element to it, and
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: it's sort of this great journey that you get to
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: go on. I love this movie. I get emotional every
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: time I see it. It's definitely a high recommendation. Feel
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: the Dreams comes in at number eight.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Love that movie. I'm going home and watching it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: It's so good. Yeah, it's so good. And I love
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: showing it to people that have never seen it or saying,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: watch this movie. Then they'll text me with tears in
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: their eyes, being like, oh my god, it was so emotional,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Like yep. Yeah.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: In the music part too, man. I mean, I'm an
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: audio engineer and I've done post production audio sound for picture.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: We control the tone like we control we set the mood.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: We can make people cry. Yeah, that's what I always say.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: I make people cry for a living.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: I could listen to that without even seeing the movie
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and just cry. James Horner's music is actually really emotional.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: He did the score for A Lamb Before Time, which
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: is one that always gets to me. And I don't
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: even have to watch the scene of the mom dying.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: In a little dramatic movie that's very tragic. It's like
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: for a cartoon, it's like, oh my god.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: A lot of these cartoons so would teach kids life
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: lessons that they're gonna have to learn, all right. So
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: number eight let's go to you, David, what do you
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: got your number eight? Greatest movie of all time? By
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: the way, this is the radio Rumble. We got filmmaker
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: David tan we got Johnny Brumman of Art of Heaven,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: and we're talking our favorite movies of all time. I
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: just did my number eight, David, what do you got
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: at number eight?
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: Speaking of James Horner, I got Titanic on here. I'm
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: pretty sure, right, that's that's James Horner.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Right, that is James Horner.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Ce Dion, Oh yeah, Celine Dion.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: That was great movie.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people like I don't know
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: if it's like a machiesemo thing, but a lot of
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: guys like you look Titanic. How do you like Titanic?
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: That's yo, justin. I don't know how how old you
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: were then, but man, in the late nineties, when Titanic
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: came out, that's exactly the stereotype of hat yep, Like
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: every girl loved that.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: They had the folders with Leo on it.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, gosh. But you know what, you go back
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: and watch that movie and it's an amazing.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: It's an epic and I hate to use that term
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: because I think it's way overused. That is the definition
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: of an epic film, you know, and it has many
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: a different genres to it because it has the romance,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: but it's got the action. Like if you don't like
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: the first hour and a half, the last hour and
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: a half is a disaster film.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: It's one of those from the nineties though that was
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: official and can rock on for eternity.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Well, it used miniatures and it also used CGI and
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: James Cameron, the director, is the master of that. I mean,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: the guys made like eight or nine movies and all
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: of them are hits.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: He did Terminator too, He Determinator.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: He did the Avatar, he did total recall like this. No,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: he did not do totally true true Lies the Arnold movie.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: He always makes fun movies, and this one is very
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: emotional and the music is is definitely very emotional. That
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Celine dionsong, though I could go without hearing ever again.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Apparently apparent legend is that she didn't one take.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Really she heard it.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: She did like a quick practice and then they did
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: the one take and that's the song. Yeah, you had
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: the recording.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Imagine if the engineer didn't hit record.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I remember when this movie was coming out.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to come out in the summer of
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: ninety seven, but there was a lot of issues with
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: the production of this movie, and James Cameron actually had
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: to put his own money into this movie to actually
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: get it released. But I remember vividly seeing a popcorn
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: bucket when I went to go see Jurassic Park the
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Lost World. I remember seeing it saying nineteen ninety seven summer,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: and you know, I obviously got pushed back to a
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: December release. So definitely one of my favorite movies, one
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: that everybody should watch. Their grandma will enjoy it, their
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: you know, your granddaughter will enjoy it. I think it's
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: It's definitely one that has stood the test of time
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: It's like three VHS tapes long. Yeah, you know I I.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Saw it a few years ago for a re release
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: and it was, you know, selling out theater after theaters.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: It's still doing numbers twenty five plus years later. Johnny,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: before we head to the old break Ski, I know
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: you were looking at your watch. I'm assuming you sent
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: me a text as well. Right we're breaking down the
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: fourth Well it wasn't me, Bro, No, I thought Johnny
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: was like it's almost one o'clock.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: It's interesting. I'm on the other side of those.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we could go to break at like
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: one oh five here, as long as we get there
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: within you know, ten minutes or so.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just throw my eight out there here. Look it,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: mister art heaven in the building. I can't go through
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: my list of top ten without mentioning this. Some people
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: might judge me, be like, top ten, this should be
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: number one. The Passion of the Cross, Okay, all right,
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: that movie is is epic in so many epic one
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: all right, Like it's not even done in English, it's
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: none in the traditional language, right, and the brutality that
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: they displayed, it's a tough one, you know what I
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: mean to watch. I mean there was a woman that
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: actually had a heart attack and died while watching that movie. Yeah,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: when it came out.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: And that movie made a ton of money. Yeah, I mean,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I want to say over five hundred million dollars are
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: close to it. And uh, you know controversial. The director
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Mel Gibson obviously doing a lot of interesting things, to
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: say the least over the last twenty five years, but
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: there's no denying that his filmmaking skills for the most part,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: are fantastic. And now I've heard he's been trying to
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: make a sequel to that for years. Yeah, and I
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: want to say production is going to be getting underway,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: and at last I heard it it is going to
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: come out in the next two or three years, which
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: should be interesting because apparently the next story is like insane,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Like it's just like wild what his script is, you know,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and obviously it's based on the Bible. But yeah, that's
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: definitely one that was was an iconic movie and talked about,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: you know for the last twenty years. Passion of the Christ.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Yet greatfilm based on your story. He was real documentation
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: is there?
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, say what you will. The man, the Jesus Christ.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no denying was a real person. It
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: seems like every even people that don't believe, will at
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: least at the very least admit.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: That there's like five hundred thousand there's like five thousand
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: times amount of documentation than Alexander the Great, But nobody,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: nobody actually like you know questions.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting the Great as a character. Yeah, that's interesting.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 57:20

• 57:34
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna let that James Horner score finish out
• 57:37
