- henry: Hey guys welcome back to the poddicy this is episode 14 I'm Henry Wilkinson I'm Andrew Mosler and today we have a science fiction sci-fi draft for you guys. Coming off of our Dune and Dune Part 2 movie review, we're going to pick up the sci-fi with a draft. Same rules as usual in the sense of we will go five picks each, we'll do rock, paper, to determine the draft order, and we have a little wrinkle in here. No Christopher Nolan movies in this draft. Because we've already done a Christopher Nolan draft. We don't want to be too redundant. And our other rule is once a franchise is picked, the franchise is off the board. So if Andrew here, for example, were to take Star Wars A New Hope, I cannot take another Star Wars movie the rest of the draft. Wow. Yep. What a rule. Mm-hmm. Put some extra stakes on the draft. We'll give us a little bit more diversity. We'll have different lineups. So here we go, rock, paper, scissors. The series for rock, paper, scissors is tied at two to two. And the overall series for the drafts is me forwarding. Accurate. All right, here we go. Dude, knew I... Why did I go rock? I... He knew I was gonna go rock. Here we go. I didn't even think about that, dude. With the first pick... Gosh. Of the Podices Sci-Fi Draft, I'll be taking Dune Part 2. You get all the Dune. No, no, no. You get Dune... I get Dune Part 2. Dune 1's off the board. Yes. Gotcha. You are unable to take Dune. And I'm unable to take Dune. Alright, I am gonna go ahead and take Star Wars. Which one? I'm gonna take, well I guess that's. take my favorite, I'm gonna take Return of the Jedi. And then... I am going to take Back to the Future, number one. Good pick. Yeah. So two and three are off the board. Don't even think about it. I know you want part of three. Back to the future. Yeah, no I Would have taken the first one though for sure. Yeah All right. All right your second and third pick Yeah With my second pick. I think this is fair game. Yeah, let's hear it. Lord of the Rings? is it science fiction? I don't know. I don't know if it's fair game. was just trying to sell it. I have it on my list, so I might... You have it on your list? I didn't see that on any other lists. then it's probably just fantasy then. Yeah. Okay, that's I don't think that's science fiction. How would that be science fiction? I don't know. guess maybe just. Let me see. It doesn't count. Let me look it up. because it i guess it could be no lorther is that's house okay alright nevermind yeah get out of here that flag on the plane you could have the hobbit no i've never even seen him actually okay really good alright with my second pick i'll be taking dawn of the planet of the apes Okay, this is hard. Yeah Okay, I'm going to look this one up. What is going on here? I think it should be. I'm gonna take Avatar the Way of Water. Yeah, okay. I had the first one on my list. Okay. I'm taking the second one. You're the second one? Yep. Avatar the Way of Water. The worst one. The best one, bro. Wow, you're taking the worst avatar. The best one. Alright, well I'm gonna take The Matrix for sure. That is... That's one of the more, it's one of the bigger movies I haven't seen. The Matrix. Great movie. Yeah. Great movie. okay. Yeah, I was, that's tough because I was thinking about taking the original Avatar. So I'm going to take Jurassic Park. I have it on my list. Okay. You do. Okay. Cause that's the one I was thinking about. yeah. Okay. yeah. Definitely What do you mean? I don't know. just I yeah, yeah with science fiction. I didn't know if I was on your radar yeah, yeah, yeah, on my radar. Okay, I probably wouldn't have taken it with the movies I have left but okay I have it as like a fourth star right? Yeah, I have a yeah a couple of five stars on here Yeah, I'll take the first one too. Yeah, it definitely All right This is your last two picks. Yeah, crap. All right, I have to take Arrival, because that's my favorite movie of all time. I just waited to take it. I should have taken it. Because I'm a scum, and I knew that Andrew hasn't seen it yet. No, I have. If you'd have taken it, would have been really funny if you'd have taken it. Alright, and then I'm just gonna go, this is a me pick here. But I'm gonna take Tron Legacy. my gosh, yeah. I got some like other really, I'm sure more famous movies on here, but. That's such a banger. What do you got for? Alright. No, I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna wait to do honorable mentions. I'm taking the thing. Yeah, of course. me the thing. Okay. So, alright, so my squad. is Dune Part 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Avatar the way of water Arrival and Tron legacy and I've got return of the Jedi back to the future the matrix Jurassic Park and the thing Your team's way better Dude that it is a stat science fiction is a stacked category you you your team so much You have Star Wars. I got some big franchise. Which is probably like the biggest movie franchise of all time. Back to the future. Back to the future. I should have taken that first just out of respect. The Matrix ad, I honestly should have taken that first, The thing is a banger too. You have like the pinnacle sci-fi I got some basic picks. Yeah, I mean, guess they probably are considered bass. I should have taken something with a little more. Well, no. My honorable mentions, The Guardians, any of The Guardians movies? yeah. I didn't even think of those. WALL-E. Yep, I WALL-E. E.T. I E.T. I love E.T. Yeah, I had some other Nolan ones on here. All right, I got both the Blade Runner movies. Both are fantastic. Mad Max Fury Road, she talked about her last episode. About Time, which is really, really good. And it's like a sci-fi rom-com kind of, so it's like an interesting blend of genres. It's a five star for me. I really, really love it. It's not underrated, but think it's definitely underseen by the general public. Rachel McAdams is in it and is really, really good. And then crap, what's the, it's like Dom Gleason or something is the main actor in it. it's sci-fi, because it deals with time travel. At the root of it, it's about his relationship with his father and also the relationship with his wife. And it's just a really emotional movie that works really well for me. And then these are definitely underrated ones. I have Oblivion, which is a Joe Kaczynski movie with Tom Cruise. That has like a 3.1 on letterbox and I gave it a four and a half. I watched it last summer. I think I watched it like right after I watched F1, because I'm like, I just kind of want to check out what Joe Kaczynski's got. And it really blew me away. It looks great. I feel like apocalyptic world movies are just so hard to not be repetitive. And it brings something totally different to it. And then I have Ready Player One by Steven Spielberg, which people really don't like that, I think, when comparing it to some other Spielberg's work. But I absolutely loved it. I think the whole VR aspect of it was really well done and really interesting concept. And I have that as a four and a half too. So those are all kind on my radar. Not science fiction. No, I don't think so. They got the Truman show on here. That's definitely sci-fi. Yeah, I Gave that I gave that a four I thought about it. I they've got some Mission Impossible on here This is on letterbox. I don't know anything. I don't know about mission, but you'd probably know better if it's sci-fi Not really. I should have taken one of the freaking Ninja Turtle movies or like I guess The Avengers Infinity War end game could probably be on there. Probably. Yeah. I mean, I or like one of the one of the sci fi. Goats is 2001 a space Odyssey and I did not like that movie at all. So I saw it a long long time ago. You watched it. Yeah. You have any recollection of it like none. I remember like the scene where he's going through the he's trying to get out where he's like tripping balls. OK. Like basically that's like I remember I remember like His suit what it looks like from that scene and like what yeah, he's like Can you let me out? I can't do that. Well, I remember really I I'm just trying to think cuz I know for the biopic episode There was a comment of some movies that weren't on there and they were all just because we hadn't seen them I'm Guessing if they had that'll so someone if someone yeah guys back. Yeah He'll probably say something about 2001, which I just didn't like. Otherwise I think you covered a lot of the big ones. Yeah, one that I saw that I hadn't seen that is like, I guess kind of a staple and kind of like in the last. I don't know, 20 years, Gravity? you seen Gravity? I think I watched it with my dad like a long time ago. I've heard that's really good. Or I think when it came out, it was very highly acclaimed. don't know if it holds up as well today. I guess another one is probably Alien from Ridley Scott. I know a lot of people love that movie. I really liked it. I just love these movies more. Yeah. yeah. Hunger Games. Sci-fi is it sci-fi? Does it say so on letterbox does? Yeah, probably is got the OG Superman on here, Yeah 78 Yeah Yeah, some some banger movies, how about 65? Do you ever see that? This one guy follow on letterbox really likes it It's just kind one of those movies that kind of gets brushed under the rug, guess. Well, but yeah, I think that's it for the sci-fi draft.
