  Speaker 2: Hi, my name is Jennifer Lawrence and you're listening to
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Movie Meltdown.

  Speaker 3: It's showtime. The following feature has been rated R by
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: the Motion Picture Association of America. It is intended for
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: mature audiences and parental discretion is advised.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invites you
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: to be its guest at the 37th annual awards presentation.

• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the Academy of Motion
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Picture Arts and Sciences.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: What's up? Welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: I'm Ben.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I'm Phillip. And we're coming to you live via digital
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: recording from the Oddity Studios Pavilion, home of this year's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Meltdown Awards. The crowd is... Look at all the celebrities.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: We had seat fillers. I had the cards out there
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: with a big picture and Nicole Kidman. I had to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: park in all the seats.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: They're literally everywhere. Yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: They're going to start showing up, though. You just wait
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: any minute now. When Jennifer Lawrence comes rolling in, you'll
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: be like, oh, hey, have some pork.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like she'd be down for some hors d'oeuvres.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: She'd be down for the hors d'oeuvres.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. She knows the hometown. She knows what she's doing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So yes, it's Oscar night. And as usual, we here
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: at Movie Meltdown feel that maybe the Oscars aren't the end-all,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: be-all of film awards. And maybe there are some other
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: categories out there. And maybe some films they overlooked. They
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: might have missed some nominees. So we've created... The foilers,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and yes, the oh-so-coveted trophy. I know you have, Phillip.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Have you witnessed all the wonderfulness that is a foiler
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in all its glory? I can't remember if you were
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: at one of the old ones. I was at the one.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You won't forget the foilers.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: I think the last time it was before the foilers,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I want to say, because it was like, It's.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: A while back.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That was a while back. So, yes, here's the foilers. Coveted, world-renowned. Plus,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you can take home leftovers. That's the real reason.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Just something that's so creepy about it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It's creepy.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: This one's staring at me. The other one is looking off.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: No, just this one.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: I'm just going to turn that around.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He's eyeballing you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: There we go.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, there's many reasons I went with this as
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: our trophy. Because, number one, it's creepy. And it seems
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: fitting for us. Number two, it's shiny. It is shiny.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: We all like things that are shiny.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: It is shiny.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And you can take home some pork leftovers. So, you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: coveted award. So, unlike some ceremonies, we have a host.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Three of them. So, one more reason we're a little
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: better than some of those other award ceremonies out there. So,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: as you came in on the red carpet, do you
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: want to do? Normally they do, who are you wearing?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: On the foilers we do, what are you wearing? Seems
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a little more fitting. I have once again gone with
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the Tux t-shirt. Classy, as always. With the bacon tie,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: because it seems fitting. And, you know, the finest of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Levi's is, you know, spare no expense. Would you like
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to plug your designers?
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: A blue, like, Old Navy sweater or hoodie type situation. Yeah,
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: not to be. Yeah, going real Red Sea here.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: That's how we roll here at the Old Mountain Awards.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: I am wearing a gray Amazon zip-up hoodie from 2015.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: When I still work there that is covered in some
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: sort of stain from when I dropped my lunch on
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: it the other day and couldn't be bothered to clean it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Just like the celebrities on the red carpet. And pants.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Oh, and my Black Sabbath 1978 World Tour t-shirt that
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: I'm very fond of.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Nice. Very nice. See, I think we kind of outdo
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: most celebrities on the red carpet. Black Sabbath?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: So... Yes, we've brought the food out. I've added mustard
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: this year. Two kinds of mustard.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Don't sell yourself short.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Again, very fancy. I wouldn't go so far as to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: say anybody's going to roll up in a Rolls Royce
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and roll the window down, but this one's also coarse ground,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: so it's very hardcore. That's how we roll here. But
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: we also had another potential option, and I think you'll
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: thank me that I scrapped it. You may have even
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: seen this at the grocery. They were selling these molds
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: that look like little pigs. No, I did not. It's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: in the other room if you want to. But yeah,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it looked like little pigs. And then you could put
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: your little Smokies in there and then mold around it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: But the specific thing that they told you to mold
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it with was pancake batter. I'm like, but those aren't
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: like sausage links. It's little Smokies, which is kind of
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a different flavor. Now, don't get me wrong, we were
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: still going to eat them, but after I bought this
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: dumb thing, I did a continuous, for probably the last month,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I've done nothing but eat those stupid things because I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: kept attempting to come up with a good way to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: make it work.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: It doesn't.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I've tried different times. I've tried readjusting the temperature. It
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: still just kind of burns the top of them, which
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: is hard to do in silicone. But it still finds
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: a weird way to burn a weird spot on their back,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and yet the whole rest of it stays kind of squishy.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And on top of that, it's little smokies with pancake batter, which, yeah, so.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: I don't think that sounds terrible.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was all right. Again, I've eaten more
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: than I needed to, but it's still, like, it would
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: work better if it was, like, sausage links, but I
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: can't really find those in the right size, and it's
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: way too much trouble to, like, make my own sausage links,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and that's a lot of work, so. Yeah, but I
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: think you can also freeze those silicone things, so we'll
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: just have pig-shaped ice cubes.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I figured that'll work. All right. Are we ready to
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: roll into the categories? This one really just involves me
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: doing a lot of reading, which I don't like. But
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I was thinking as we... Because now I just kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of read off the winners. If you'd like for future years,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: if you'd like me to put it in an envelope...
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And then you could read it. And then you wouldn't
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: actually know the winner, so I could be Price Waterhouse.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It'd be great.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: I'll do that, provided you build a podium that we
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: can stand behind.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Not the first podium I've had at one point. Again,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: while we're telling podium stories, at the first Yeti Spaghetti
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Show that Movie Meltdown put together, I did specifically request
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a podium and then taped a picture of a Yeti
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: on the front of it. And then stood in front
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: of it to address the crowd of thousands, which obviously
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: came out. But yeah, it wasn't really necessary to have
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that podium, but I requested it anyway. Yeah. All right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: So as usual, our categories are better than any other
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: award show. So this is one that I.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Think i made this one up and i still think
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it's really i like when they stray away from the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: movies and into just the business or the people's lives
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: in general so this one is right up that alley
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the most questionable career decision made by an actor actress
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: or filmmaker in 2018 now I'll also, as we've gone through,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: sometimes there's ones that don't even get enough votes to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: be in the... Because I'll usually... I don't even bother
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: reading all five of them and leaving you in suspense.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I just read the other four that got votes and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: then give.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: You the winner.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Because why double discuss it? So, yeah. But occasionally we
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: also get comments from people that aren't even in the nominees.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So this one I thought was interesting because we had
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: someone write in. They're questioning Ben Affleck exiting the Batman.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: When just two years ago on this very award show,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: we had people questioning the fact that Ben Affleck was Batman.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was funny that now they're like, dude,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: what are you doing leaving? I'm like, you fans were
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: just complaining. Movie geeks, comic book geeks, you just can't
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: make them happy.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: It's time to get used to them.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I know. The thing is, he wasn't bad. He's the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: best thing about those movies. Certainly isn't Superman. All right,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the other one, I thought this one was just, again,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: this was it. even officially a nominee i just like
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the description Disney for making Christopher Robin. So Pooh and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Tigger and Piglet, they weren't just Christopher Robin's imagination as
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: he played with the stuffed animals as a little kid.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: They were real sentient beings who other people could see
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and talk to. What the hell are they? Is this
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: some sort of insane voodoo shit that's not going to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: end well for Pooh and his friends? Are you going
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: to be whisked away to some lab? Where is their soul?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Can we finally prove there is a soul? What is
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the nature of existence? Why am I freaking out in
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the middle of this kid's movie? Thank you. Thank you
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: for that nominee. Yes.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Stay safe wherever you are.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: They didn't quite make it into the running. Again, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: keep them all anonymous. This character will return with at
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: least one more rant later that I'm sure you'll recognize
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the author once again.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: So now.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I kind of have a feeling you might recognize him.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: He's beloved to the Meltdown group.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, I was thinking she.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: No, no, not that. Not that one. All right, so
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the actual nominees. And some of these are very good questions.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: First off, Helen Mirren in Winchester. What the hell?
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: I watched it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It's watchable. It's not terrible. It is well beneath Helen Mirren.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what bet she lost, but yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Helen Mirren in Winchester.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: We had.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: A good amount of people coming in with anybody involved
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: in the Happy Time murders. Specifically, what in the hell
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: was Melissa McCarthy thinking? I'm kind of right there with
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: you on that. I haven't watched that one yet. Is anybody...
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I want to.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: I've seen it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: We've recently discussed our thing for puppets. Yeah, I've seen it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: You know how I feel about puppetry and the Henson
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Company and all of that.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And it was.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: I don't want to say it was bad, but I
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: can't really say it was good either.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: So you didn't watch it? Yeah. See, here's my thing.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: It feels like a novelty thing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And it feels like it's trying too hard. That's what
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I think is almost annoying at this point. If somebody
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: wants to take it on themselves as seriously as Henson did,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and I don't mean that the material has to be serious,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: just the level of commitment.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: But when you're trying, like to me, like making puppets
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: say bad words and have sex and do all this
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: other crap, I'm like, that's such an easy move, you know?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it just feels cheap.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: And there are times where it feels like, oh, this
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: is just a foul joke for a foul joke. Then
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: there are a couple of incredibly obscene moments where they have,
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: I will give them credit for not just pushing the boundaries,
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: but like going past the boundary and just Making the
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: boundary a tiny dot in the rear view mirror. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: then other moments, I felt like it just fell flat.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Like it could have gone with another run through in
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: the writing department.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just the trailer for me, a lot of moments
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: fell flat. And I'm just like, wow, I am two
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: minutes worth of this movie so far. And that's the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: other thing, like with the push in the boundaries, I'm like,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: to me, there's only one movie that did it. And, like,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: once you've seen Meet the Feebles, like, you're wasting your
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: time trying to make a dirty movie with puppets. I'm like,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the shit that goes on in there. And, again, that's
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: somebody who was committed to making an insane movie that
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: just happened to have a bunch of puppets in it. But, like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: he would have made some weird version of that movie regardless. So, yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: once I've seen that, I'm just like, anytime I see
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: somebody trying to do an adult-themed puppet thing, I'm just like, eh.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: It's going to be lightweight compared to Meet the Feebles.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and it is. And I feel like, you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Meet the Feebles has a moment about the halfway point
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: where it sort of stalls out a little bit.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: But it picks back up.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Happy Time Murders kind of stalls pretty quickly. And I
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: recommend checking it out just to say, you know, I've
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: seen this. And again, the puppetry is amazing. The sets
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: are amazing, but the story is just really one-dimensional and
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: just kind of falls flat.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And I do question Melissa McCarthy, because I do think
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: she's amazingly talented. So this is a weird call for her.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Especially since she's got a legit movie that's kind of
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: getting respect this year, so that she balances it the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: same year with this puppet movie.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Part of her problem in this movie is that She
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: plays the straight man character. And so all of her
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: comedic talents are pretty much wasted.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, someone who goes well above and beyond the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: normal pratfalls and is always there to be the joke. Yeah,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: that's not the place to put her in anymore. Speaking
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: of things that might not be as funny as they
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: should be, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly reuniting to
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: make Holmes and Watson.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And this one, again, several people specifically, anyone and everyone
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: involved in the overboard gender swap remake. Specific quote that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: came with one of them was, WTF question mark. Like
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: that's all it said. And I'm like, all right, I
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: feel you. But the winner, see, this was one of
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: those moments when I was just like, it didn't occur
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to me, even though I posed the question. And the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: first one of these came in and I went, Oh yeah, no,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: that's it. Like, there are no other answers. Like, no
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: one else, no matter what dumb movie you made, nothing
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: comes within miles of this. The winner is Kevin Spacey's
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Let Me Be Frank video.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Ugh.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: What the, what? I'm creeped out by thinking about it now.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Especially since he put it out at Christmas. You know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: gather the kids around the internet. And, um... It's just weird.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And at a time when you'd think he'd want to
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: go into hiding, he puts out a weird video. He
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: does it mostly in character. It makes no sense. I mean,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: not that we didn't know he's a weird guy anyway,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: but what the fuck, Kevin Spacey?
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: We could ask that question a lot over the past year.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Or the entirety of his life, probably. But we just
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: found out recently. Although, didn't we always? We always kind
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: of knew he was a weird dude. That's why he
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: was successful. He had that level, that weird edge to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: him that made you kind of feel like, something's not
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: right about this guy. That's why he played all those
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: characters so well. Sometimes it's not acting. Sometimes he's just
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: a weird dude.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Alright.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Next up, the most shocking moment in a 2018 film. Again,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: this one The first time the winner came in, I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: all right. And it's funny how many, this is one
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: of those times when everybody meets in the same spot.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: But there are a few other options. The Nicolas Cage
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: bathroom freakout in Mandy, which only, I think, got voted
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: for by this person because it came with a real
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: life story. When the guy in the theater directly behind
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: me started throwing up during that scene, it really solidified
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the mood.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Movie magic. The third act moment in Sorry to Bother You,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: which if you haven't seen it, the comment is, there's
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: no question what that moment is when you see it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: So once you get there, you'll be like, oh yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I remember. They talked about that. It got nominated for
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: a reason. This one I like, being a smartass. Aquaman's
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: box office total. What's the most shocking moment? I'm like, yeah,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I don't fully get it, but I still hear good things.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Quite a few people, and this one I do give
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: them credit for. Avengers Infinity War going with the full
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: fail ending. That is kind of amazing that a studio
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: movie with almost all of the biggest celebrities in the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: world in this one movie with 10 years of planning...
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: decided to go that dark like granted we know what's
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: coming but it doesn't matter they still ended the movie
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: killing all their people spoilers i will try to put
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the spoilers in which there's one coming up for the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: winner here so i will try to throw out spoiler
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: alerts i'm assuming everybody knows the avenger deal at this
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: point but spoilers right now but i'll still try to
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: keep it as generalized as possible by a huge margin
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: damn near everybody that voted The winner is the decapitation
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: scene in Hereditary. Specifically, they're like, the decapitation followed immediately
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: by the smash cut is... I mean... It had an
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: effect on people.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, that was the only time in a theater
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: this last year where everyone.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Was like, oh, fuck!
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Like, loudly saying fuck out loud. It was pretty amazing.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: You know, that's a.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Rare moment, but when it does happen... It's really satisfying.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, not just one guy saying, oh, everyone, fuck!
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say. With good reason.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you just end up in a theater with a loud,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: obnoxious person. but when everybody goes oh no you yeah
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you're right you're right to scream out what the fuck
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: just happened yep that's that was one of those moments
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that even as weird and twisted as that movie is
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: you still don't really see that coming and not at
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that point like it's it's pretty awesome Next up, the
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: most miscast actor and or actress for their role in
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: a 2018 film. Another interesting, not even a nominee, but
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: sometimes I like throwing out the other options just to
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: kind of counterbalance these things. One of them specifically said,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: kind of has a point, Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: That man is too charismatic. You can't cast him as
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: a villain unless you don't want me to care about
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: the hero. I'm like, he's really like by the I
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: mean even when we discussed it I was like he's
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: not really a villain I mean there's one or two
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: moments when he then moves into full villain mode but
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: for the most part of the movie you're just like
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I mean he's got a point the reason he's pissed
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I mean like I get it like so yeah I
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: think so much of that is credit to Michael B.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Jordan for being able to pull off that kind of
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: role so but The actual nominees. This was one of
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: my favorite answers of the whole thing. Michelle Williams wig
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: in Venom. I thought that was really funny. Another odd choice.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Michelle Williams, Oscar nominee. What do you want to make next?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Venom's girlfriend? I don't know. Very strange. More strange casting.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Oprah Winfrey in A Wrinkle in Time. Can you watch
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: that and not be like, Look, it's Oprah. Look, it's Oprah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: She's too big of a personality at this point. You
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: can't do the color purple anymore. She could pull that
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: off when she was a nobody, but she is one
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: of the biggest people in the industry. She is one
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: of the most recognizable people in the world. She's kind
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: of boxed herself out of being a regular actress anymore.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I think from the trailer day one, I was just like, look,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: it's Oprah. I can't put it aside. This one hurts,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: because I like her a lot. Olivia Munn in Predator.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Their comment was, It's almost a skill in and of
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: itself to never have chemistry with anyone in any movie ever,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: but somehow she pulls it off. Damn it, I like her,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: but at least in that movie he's got a point.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: She just seems off the whole movie. Not that that
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: movie doesn't have... I like it more than most, but
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: we'll get back to it later. This one, again, I
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: like the phrasing. What's his name from Solo?
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Alden Ehrenreich? Alden, I'm sorry if that's not it. Please
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: come on the show. We've got your seat filler sitting
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: over here. I mean, just come on in whenever you
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: get here. You can pronounce it, of course. So, yeah, again,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I think that guy's like... As I said on the
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: other movie I just saw him in, he's so damn likable.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I think if anybody can kind of get close to
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: pulling off Harrison Ford, he did a great job. So
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I disagree. But that was coming in. I just like
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: what's-his-name from so long. And the winner is an odd
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: one I did not see coming, but I guess they're right.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: John Travolta in Gotti. That's a weird casting choice. And
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: sometimes I'm like, all right, I can see it. You
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: did the hair, maybe. Again, I might sit there the
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: whole time going, look, it's John Travolta. What's John Travolta
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: on trial for this time? Damn that Vinnie Barbarino. Next up,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: the most impressive visuals, CG, practical, or whatever, in a
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: 2018 film. I like opening it up to everything. Again,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I can only hope we get puppets most of the time.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: It doesn't happen all that often in happy time murders
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: didn't come up just spoiler first off and again most
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: of these i can't argue with uh avengers infinity war
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah we all know that um annihilation which they
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: say may be the most psychotropic movie of the year
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: again coming coming fighting the uh backlash mostly from me
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: maybe aquaman The scene where Aquaman and Mera dive into
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the water with all the thresh chasing them and the
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: red light storm is one of the most aesthetically pleasing
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: scenes I have ever seen in Aquaman. So, you know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: it's good that they're delivering quality stuff for Aquaman. Next up, Mandy,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: which is a pretty popular one this year. But the winner,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: and again, a good margin, and rightfully so, Spider-Man Into
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the Spider-Verse. Here's another one of these. Again, I'm mostly
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: having this just for the comments now. Like looking directly
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: into the sun, when I blink, I can still see
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the afterglow of Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. I need all
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: movies to look this good from now on.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Kind of a poetic critical take.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. That's how you know you got
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: a good movie and You've got good people out there
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: that come up with these comments. So, to counterbalance those
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: good visuals, the most obnoxious use of CGI in a
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: 2018 film. That's one I like, and yeah, I felt
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: this way the whole movie. The unnecessary creepy smiles in
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Truth or Dare. It's not a great movie anyway, but
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: adding those didn't help. It's watchable. It's sort of fun-ish.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Okay, I actually didn't know about this movie, but I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: going to guess it's a horror movie, but it's about,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: get this, the very popular party game Truth or Dare.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: How did you see that?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Are you a screenwriter? Wait a minute. What's funny is
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: there's like 48 movies called Truth or Dare. I mean,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: there was another one that came out that same year
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: that was like another weird indie film version of that
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: idea that I heard was way better. So again, you're
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: already dealing with an unoriginal idea, more or less, a
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: title that's out there 47 times and Madonna coming up
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: on your heels.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: All right, next up, Black Panther. Now, they specifically on
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: several occasions, the rhinos were mentioned. All right, I'll give
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: you that. And I'm not going to argue the final fight.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: It's a big video game scene. That whole falling, both
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: of them fighting each. It's very video game-y. So, yeah,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: I'll give you that one. There's a lot of good
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: stuff in Black Panther, but that final fight's not really it.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: This one, I just like the phrasing. The Silver Surfer
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: cop-out ending of Annihilation. I don't totally agree, but I
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: like the phrasing. Almost as much as the next one,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: the entire nomination was worded as Shut Up, I Like Venom.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was funny that they outed themselves
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: even in the nomination of it and yet, Shut Up,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I Like Venom. But, Once again, a good amount came
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: in specifically for Ready Player One. A lot of people
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: did not take to that in the geek world. For
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: something that was that steeped in geekdom, I think that
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: was it. The deck was already stacked against them.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Everyone I've talked to who read the book hated the movie.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: Just absolutely hated it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: It's got some good things about it. The visuals... are
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: hit and miss. It's like there's ones that I'm like, no,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: this is awesome. This is trying really hard. You haven't
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: seen it, though?
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Mm-mm. I saw... Well, I saw enough. I saw the...
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: There's a clip. Spoiler alert.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, did you see the good part?
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Because the most interesting part involves the shining.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I was going to say, that's what turned me
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: off if I wanted to see it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: No, that.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Truthfully, that's the most impressive part.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. For me, only because I kind of like any
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: time you have a chance to sort of revisit a property,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: which rarely happens in film. So the fact that there's
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: a weird shining tie-in thing that, again, I think you
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: like The Shining. So, Philip, I'd say watch it just
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: to get your take on that because it's not terrible.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: It's just.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: not.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Overly original in a lot of aspects that's that was
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: kind of the way people made it sound yeah but
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: that part in the middle which again is probably something
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way but
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: i i thought it was an interesting moment in the
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: movie more so than a lot of the other regular
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: stuff so now this category has become problematic and i
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: tried to clarify and it Didn't really fix it this year.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: So we're going to have to reword things moving forward.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Because I remember last year, we came up with this
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: category specifically because a certain member of the staff used
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: to always be like, he kills good. So it became like,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: to me, it was like the Jason kind of kid.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: it was like oh my god you just smashed him
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: into a tree in a sleeping bag that's the most
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: awesome kill ever so originally it was like most horrific
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: kill you know best horrific kill like and then people
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: started like voting for like super serious deaths and Like,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: last year, I guess spoilers for Logan, but, I mean, like,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the big send-off of several beloved characters were getting lumped
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: in with the, like, and then he slashed him with
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: a butcher knife. You know, I'm just like, those are
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: two different types of moments. Like, we need to, so
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: this year I did, like, A and B. I did subsections,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: but I guess, again, I tried to word the other
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: one as most, like, epic death scene, and still people
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: were just going, like, And the funniest part was... I'm like, okay, wait,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: this isn't working. So there were only a few that
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: came in that actually fit the bill of epic death scenes.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: So basically that became the winner. And everything else just
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: went up to the best horrific kill category. So here
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: are the nominees. The contortion dance and or the killing
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: dance scene from Suspiria. There were some exploding heads mentioned.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Um.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: The two guys that get shivved with a broken and
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: half cow femur in the butcher shop fight from The
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Night Comes for Us, which I don't think I'd heard
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: much about. And then after seeing several nominees, I went
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and found the trailer. I was like, holy shit, why
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: am I not watching this right now? So, yeah, I'm
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: on board already. I heard broken cow femur. I was
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: on board.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: That whole fight sequence is nuts.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Everything about it looks pretty impressive as lots of action
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: fighting kind of stuff goes. This one, again, it depends
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: on the level of geek that you are, whether you
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: appreciate this nominee. The death of the red dress girl
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: in Rampage. Cathartic on so many levels. There was a
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: moment watching it where I was like, but, oh man,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: that's taking me back, y'all. Next up, X-Force parachuting from
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Deadpool 2. I won't go any further into that, but
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the whole parachuting escapade, let's, let's leave it at that.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: But the winner is again, spoilers, the decapitation in hereditary.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Obviously people were just not ready for that moment. It
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: took both categories. So I, I don't know what else
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: to do. So yeah, again, next year for the other
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: half of this, we'll have to reword it and put
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: in there like, funny dead serious dead because the only
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: thing that got any nominations that like actually kind of
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: fit the bill were from infinity war so infinity war
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: is the winner i mean basically they're just like the
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: last 10 minutes of infinity war specifically parker the death
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: of vision like everything going on in that last battle
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: is pretty epic and depressing really so yeah that one
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: fits as like a That's the level of heroic send-off
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: we're talking about more so than me. And then he
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: got stabbed in the head. Don't get me wrong. Those
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: can be great. All right. Next up, best villain in
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: a 2018 film. The nominees. That tells you the kind
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: of year we're having. The nominee, not the winner, Thanos.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: In any other year. I mean, arguably one of the
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: best villains and arguably not even the villain of that
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: movie is not only not the winner, it didn't really
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: get that many votes. Maybe because he's so much our
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: main character in that film and kind of our full-on
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: protagonist at times. But yeah, that was one of the
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: random nominees. I thought that said a lot about this year.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Michael Myers. Still kind of coming through. People hit or miss.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: That was the winner?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: No, no. That's just the fact that it's still getting votes.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Like this far in, any new Michael Myers movie, people
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: are still like, nope, he still works for me. He's
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: still a thing. Again, another random choice. Michael Gaston in
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: First Reformed. So we kind of counterbalance it. We got
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: weird creepy priest movies and superhero movies.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: It's all good.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Along those lines, Erik Killmonger in Black Panther. Again, in
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: a year with Killmonger, I mean, it's Marvel fixing their
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: villain problem. You know, the fact that this past year
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: we had both of those in the same year when
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: they'd had some pretty weak villains going on. But yeah,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: they fixed that problem. And yet still, you can't compete.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: And the winner is, as one voter put it, that
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: crazy guy in Mandy. Which is Jeremiah Sand, played by
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Linus Roche. People love Mandy.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: I have not seen Mandy.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: It's a pretty great villain.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: I feel like I need to.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've had it thrown out that we need
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: to do... In fact, several people have suggested we need
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: to do an episode.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: That shit needs to play on rotation in theaters every year.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: That hit played so well.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: Whenever you say freak out scene.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: In the bathroom.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: And this person behind me vomited.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Well, also, here's our comment for this one. Jeremiah Sand,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: the cult leader guy in Mandy, making people listen to
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: his crappy music like that dastardly. So that tells you
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: it's kind of bastard that we're dealing with here that
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: wins best villain. Next up, best monster in a 2018 film.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Every year we get people thinking they're real clever, voting
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: for things that aren't really monsters, but they, well, that's
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: a monster. The racist white lady in Black Klansman. Yeah,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: all right. She's a horrible person. I get it. She's
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: not going to win. Dick Cheney from Vice. Yeah, I
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: see what you're doing there.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: There are prosthetics involved on that one, so maybe we can.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: A certain president from Fahrenheit 11.9 got a vote or two.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: But those aren't the nominees. You guys think you're real cute.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Dick Taney's just a giant Stan Winston creation.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: He's a puppet. Somewhere there's somebody working his arms right now.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: So the nominees are The Kaiju from Pacific Rim Uprising.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Like the movie or not, Kaiju, that's a monster. That
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: is a monster. That is a monster. give you that
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: next up venom obviously from the favorite i just thought
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: it was stupid to put venom from venom so i
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: yeah take take a wild guess what movie he's from
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: i liked inserting him into the favorite helena marcos which
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: i believe is tilda swinton from uh suspiria maybe one
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: of her many roles yeah who.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Knows unofficially five other people.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Again, in a year where this came out, the fact
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: that it's not the winner, the monsters from A Quiet Place,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: those are pretty cool. So the fact that, again, a
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: lot of votes coming in. You can't compete with Skull
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Bear Pig from Annihilation. Oh, shit.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: Why didn't I?
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: That should have been my vote. Again, the comment is
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: maybe the scariest scene this year. I just like that
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: that's how it was billed by someone. It was also
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: called Death Voice Bear. Or just The Bear from Annihilation.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: It's just something about a giant animal whose skin is
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: rotting off. And Bean is weird.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Again, not to spoil anything, but there's some weirdness going
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: on with that bear. Yeah.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's some other things. Yeah, for sure.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: It's pretty badass.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: It's pretty.
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: Badass.

• 39:57
  Speaker 3: love for itself in the form of a statuette.
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: The Foilers!
• 40:02

  Speaker 3: figure is a goal of all who work in motion.

  Speaker 2: the meltdown.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: All right, this is Louis Gossett Jr.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: This is Movie Meltdown.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Hey!
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: One man, one goal One mission, one heart, one soul.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: Even in lives that are filled with fame and riches,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: this is a moment to be cherished. For an entire
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: industry has said, this year, you are the best.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: We're well into the ceremony. I guess you'd probably assume
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: now it's time for the dead people montage. Oh, but no,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: because we already did that. So if, if you need that,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: if you're one of those people that needs to look
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: back and go, Oh, just go back to episode four 72.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: It's entitled straight dead talk. And we have a loving
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: tribute to several people that passed away last year. Several,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: which also happened to be on the show. So not
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: that day, not like while they were dying, like, previous
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: guest of the show that have passed on i feel like.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: If we could make that happen though it'd be pretty
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: cool i think that would boost our ratings.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I mean if we could reanimate her some stuff and
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: like i feel like if it also turns out kind
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: of like they do there it won't go well but
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: still be cool we can get some photo ops pose
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: with them a few times before you know anyway.
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: I don't have any pictures of me with any dead
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: celebrities Other than standing on Elvis' grave. Apart from that, no.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Directly on it. Like, sir, get down, please.
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: Right there.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: And wait, I believe I was there for that. Have
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: you been back since then?
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes I have.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I thought you had.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: It's exactly the same.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: I have not made it back again. He hasn't moved anywhere?
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: He hasn't gone anywhere?
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: No, I haven't gone anywhere. They are planning on remodeling
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: the entryway of the guest center because right now it
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: looks like a Las Vegas casino. lobby as it kind
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: of should as it should and uh apparently they're planning
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: on spending something crazy like 46 million dollars on that
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: or something i could have just made that number up
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: but more more monies than i have is.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Stop taking lisa marie's money she doesn't have much yeah
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: i hear she's not doing so great financially so stop
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: wasting it and give her some It was the jungle room, right?
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: That's the badass one.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: That's the badass one.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: That's the shag carpeting, beanbag chairs.
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: The rest of it is kind of just like an
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: old person's house. Because every room looks like that room
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: in your grandma's house you're not allowed to go into.
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: With vinyl on the couch.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, with the really expensive but really dated furniture. Then
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: you go in the jungle room where there's the green
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: shag carpeting on the ceiling and walls and stuff. waterfall
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: and it's fantastic.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: That was a fun road trip so i'm glad we
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: shared in that experience ben we can go next time
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: i'm always up for road trips so plus then we
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: could do like episodes we could just sit there and
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: talk about weird elvis movies which we'd have no shortage
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: of so no all right back to the action literally
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: best action sequence in a 2018 film the bathtub scene
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: and or the, we had several votes for this movie,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: the bridge scene from the beginning in A Quiet Place. Again,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: more tension than action in some of the moments, but
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: those are some pretty effective scenes, both of them, so
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: I will give you worth a nominee. The, again, X-Force
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: jumping out of the plane in Deadpool 2. Again, I'm
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: not sure if that's action exactly. It's entertaining. But, It's
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: a different kind of action. The canyon chase scene in Revenge,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: which the more I keep watching that trailer now, I
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: wish it was on a service that I already had
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: because I haven't gotten around to it yet. But Revenge
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: looks pretty badass.
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's so good. It's on Shudder and Voodoo, I think,
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: are the two.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: They should give me it.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: It's like six bucks on Blu-ray.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: I don't have that kind of cash.
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: Anyway.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: This one I thought had it. They kept coming in,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: but it didn't quite, by the end, it didn't make
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: it through, but rightfully needed the nominations because the helicopter
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: chase from Mission Impossible Fallout, as one person put it,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is a problematic individual, but the man does
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: make a good action flick. Can't argue. I mean, as
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: much as he's a weird dude, as we've stated, there's
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of weird dudes in Hollywood, but I keep
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: watching those Mission Impossible movies, and every time I'm like,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: damn it, this is really good for that kind of movie.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: It's so entertaining. The action scenes are ridiculous. He's going
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: to kill himself eventually. Every time he does one of those,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: he has to be like, now how can I one-up
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: it from last time? I jumped out of a plane
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: without a parachute. Oh, no, wait, that was a different one.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. It is very entertaining. The
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: links that he will go to to one up himself
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: every dumb Mission Impossible movie. So dumb or not, they
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: are quite entertaining and good action movies. So still not
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: enough to again, it's this kind of year. the winner
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: is the entire third act of the Avengers and I'm
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: like you know I can't I can't you know any
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: other year Mission Impossible probably should have gotten it but
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: that whole like pretty much from the halfway point or
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: all of it I mean shit I love that first
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: fight scene when they first like the other guys land
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: on earth that's amazing the whole like star lord iron
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: man like fight scene in the middle is amazing like
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: arguably as good as the finale so again it's the
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: avengers like you can't fight the right all right so
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: speaking of problematic categories this one had to already be
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: readjusted because in the world we live in it would
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: not be really PC'd. It'd be like the hottest actress
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: or actor. So we would never want to do something
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: like that. That's not our style. So what if we
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: make it really wordy? Performer that you feel is aesthetically
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: pleasing while also having an amazing charisma that you are
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: inexplicably drawn to, but if you were ever in their
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: presence in the real world, you would be completely respectable
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: and not at all creepy toward them in a 2018 film. Yeah, there, see,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: that covers all our races. So, I've given everyone free
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: reign to vote for whoever they want. It is interesting,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: sometimes without that prompting, they vote for the side of
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: the dividing line I didn't think they were going to
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: vote for. So, more power to you. So, I just
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: divided them up as the boy type person and girl
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: type person. The first one in the boys is, and
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I do like the phrasing, Ryan Reynolds, but only as Deadpool. Okay.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want him any other way.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: Strict proviso at the end there.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: I like him looking like burnt chicken. Or with the
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: mask on. I don't want to have to look at
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: his pretty face. No thank you. Adam Driver. I'm assuming
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Black Klansman. He's pretty damn good in Black Klansman, if
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen. This one, I mean, I saw it coming.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I assumed he was coming into this category. The phrasing
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: makes me a little uncomfortable. Hmm. This is literally how
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: they put it on the card. Jason, so wet Momoa.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with it. Which way
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: are we to take that? No, I don't want to
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: go down that road.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: He's Aquaman, of course.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: That's one way? We'll go with that way.
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: That's the only... Of course that's what they mean.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: He's wet because he's Aquaman. He's in the ocean the
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: whole damn movie.
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: Aquas right there in.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: The That's what we're going with. Jason Momoa.
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: So wet.
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: I don't think I'm going to be able to refer
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: to him in any other way from now on.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: You're welcome. This show has enriched your life.
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: He could play the Human Torch, which is the opposite
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: of being so wet, but he will still always be
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: so wet.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Jason So Wet Human Torch Momoa. Nice.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: A year or two ago, I wouldn't have believed you
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: had he ended up in this category. But this year
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: has been quite a year for him. And I will
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: mess up his name. Is it Rami Malek?
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: I believe.
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: I believe so.
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: Again, he can come on the show and he can
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: let us know.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: He should clarify when he comes on the show. Again,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: your seat's right over there, dude. What are you doing?
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Get over here. But again, the weird guy from the
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: robot show, I would have been surprised had that popped up.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: when you're being like the most awesome rock star ever
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: that everyone kind of thought was sexy, even though he
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: was a weird dude too, like it all worked. Like,
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like something weird about Freddie Mercury that just,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: he's so alluring. Right, right. Because again, if you broke
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: it down, he was kind of a weird looking guy.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: He's a weird looking guy. He has big teeth. There's
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: something about his, yeah, his charisma is just like overpowering
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: to the point of like, Nope, he's hot.
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I can't fight it. Again, the fact that you have
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: to step into those shoes, that's a hard role for
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: this dude.
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: Which maybe we need more people like that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hot, weird people.
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: That's what we're looking for.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: I think we can hook you up. But the winner is, again,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: can't argue, Michael B. Jordan. I like that the option
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: was Black Panther, Creed II. Take your pick.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: He's hot in everything.
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: I saw somewhere, I don't remember if it was on
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: TV or what it was, but I saw someone refer
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: to him as the Michael Jordan of basketball of acting.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I was distracted in the middle. I thought you
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: were going to say Michael B. Sowet Jordan, which all
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: of a sudden maybe needs to be inserted in everyone's name.
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: Could be.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's going to go badly. Yeah. Again,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: for a category we're trying not to creep people out.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: It's turned down that road. Oh, it's, yeah. But hey,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: Well, we're not really what you'd call tactful people. I
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: don't know what you're talking about.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: We're very classy. I'm wearing a tux. Thank you.
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: This is true.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: A bacon tux. All right. So, dude is, I mean,
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: his whole look in Black Panther, specifically with the weird scarification,
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: kind of made him a little hotter. Like, I don't
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: know what's going on there, but I was just like, dude,
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I get it. Like, Can't argue.
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: I will admit, not a fan of the haircut.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the hair's not cool, but again, you look at him.
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: I also feel like that was a very 90s haircut
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: for that character, but.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Kind of thing. Black Panther might have had a big
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: surge in the 90s. Maybe they were trying to pull
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: in that 90s crowd of comic book fans.
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: But aside from that, he was very dreamy.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: One, then watching, again, I saw Creed II not too
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: long ago, and the amount of shape he has to
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: get into for these roles... specifically when you're like because
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: when you're playing a boxer like that's one of those
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: things they do so many boxing movies but i'm like
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: so many guys in hollywood even when they're massively in
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: shape aren't boxer level shape like yeah there's a level
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: of no matter how cut you are and how pretty
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: you look like boxing will beat the life out like
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: they will just take your soul from you so like
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: there's a level so again like looking at the other
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: dude that he's Pitt it against him, Creed, too. It's
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: just like, that dude is just a wall. Like, he
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: is just a fighter. And so Michael B. Jordan, like,
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: has to be convincing for him to even step foot
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: in the ring there.
• 56:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: So it's... Yeah, it says something that he's, like, willing
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: to put that much work and effort into, you know,
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: just to be in these roles, specifically something like Creed, so...
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: All right. Girl type, people. We'll try to contain ourselves, but...
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: It's hard to do with Scarlett Johansson because she's here
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: kind of every year. I mean, Infinity War. I do
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: like that they let her change her look almost every movie.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: She has a totally different look in Infinity War because
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: it's been a few years. The girl wants to change
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: her hair. What are you going to do? Matilda Lutz
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: for Revenge. Again, an odd movie for a hot recommendation,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: but they're coming in. What are you going to do?
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: She's an attractive gal. This one, again... Before this movie,
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: I might have argued it. I'm totally on board having
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: just seen A Star is Born, Lady Gaga. Have you seen?
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Have either of you seen it? It sells me in
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: a way that I didn't think I was ever going to.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I think because I'm so used to her being way
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: over the top and kind of ridiculous and overdoing costumes
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: and even her persona on stage and in videos and
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: everything is like dialed to 11. So the fact that
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: we get such a normal version of her in this
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: movie is like kind of amazing. And like, I sort
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: of got on board. I was like, Oh, okay. Now
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I see why not only like, would anybody, you know,
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: be on board with this, but specifically why this guy
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: sees her and immediately like, legitimately you feel a connection
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: between those two like it is a better movie than
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: you would expect that.
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: To be yeah um i haven't seen it yet but
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: i do get the impression from like the trailers that
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: it's you can definitely like when you watch it like
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: oh like it's not gonna be like lady gaga is
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: like just shoved into this movie it's like oh it's
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: like that you know like they just they pare her
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: down to like a normal real person yeah like a
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: real person you know um you can definitely separate her
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: from that persona.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Which again i don't think i would have like even
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: like two years ago like i don't know if i
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: would have even bought that when they were trying to
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: sell it and even when they announced it i'm like
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: okay yeah she's the the level of rock star that
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: you need to sort of work the casting end of
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: it but like i don't know if it's going to
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: work on screen and surprisingly it works on screen. Like
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: in a way I did not see coming. She is
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: so real world likable and just, uh, again, almost this
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: girl next door level of attractiveness that I don't think
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen in her before because she's always in
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: a ridiculous costume and a meat suit or whatever the
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: hell she's wearing. And like, so seeing her as a
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: real person is kind of refreshing. I gotta say, I
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: was surprised by that. All right. This next, um, This
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: next nominee, I think you'll recognize the, again, no names,
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: but you'll probably recognize. the nominator. There's nothing wrong with
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: thinking that SheVenom is hot. There's nothing wrong with having
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: a sketchbook full of SheVenom drawings. There's nothing wrong with
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: working on a SheVenom fan fiction where she thinks I'm
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: super cool and we talk on the phone until three
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: in the morning. There's nothing wrong with it. So I
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: suppose She-Venom is the nominee after all that.
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: She-Venom.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Again, this is our people. People who dream about She-Venom.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: These are the milketeers.
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: I think we found our Oscars host.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. But the winner is, and I'm right there
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: with you. I watched the movie and went, who the
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: hell is that? Zazie Beetz. from that would be domino
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: in deadpool 2 huh i again that was my takeaway
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: from that movie like i didn't i don't i don't
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: think there's anything wrong with either deadpool movie but they
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: don't like blow me away i'm not like a massive
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: you know putting everything in my house is nothing but
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: deadpool memorabilia now like they're fine like they're fun but
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: that was watching deadpool 2 like there's a lot of
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: fun moments in it but the whole time i'm just
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: like where did she come from like this is like
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: all the other people just fall to the wayside no
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: really But by the end, you spend so much time
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: with Domino that I'm like, this chick is awesome. So now, again,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't know. She's in Atlanta. She has this whole
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: career that I hadn't been paying attention to. But after Domino,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, nope, on board. Zazie beats.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she's in the new Soderbergh basketball movie.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: And she was really good.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: She seems pretty solid overall. acting-wise, so I do want
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: to see where she turns up next. Again, I already
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: wanted to get around to Atlanta. That just pushes it
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: up a little more. I still don't have time to
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: watch it. I don't have time for any shows.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 5: Too many shows.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: I don't have time for any shows. It's not your fault.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: It's not your fault, Childish Gambino. I want to watch
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: your show. I want to watch it. Alright, next up,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: the 2018 movie you expected to hate but ended up enjoying...
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: The return to this specific movie because it came up
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: and we had opposite ends of the scale here. So
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: this is the first one, this minority opinion. The comment is,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: the Predator, believe in the power of splosions. Now, in
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: a minute, we're going to have someone on the other
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: end of that scale. But for now, the Predator. But still,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: not even official. The actual nominees for this movie.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 6: What category was this again?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: This is the movies you expected to hate but ended
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: up enjoying. Aquaman probably needs to be on there. People
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: seem to like it. I heard that from a lot
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: of people. I also heard that a lot about The Meg.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Everybody assumed it was going to be dumb and it's
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: entertainingly dumb. I concur.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: I rented that movie thinking it was going to be
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: just like like not good and uh it was it
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: was solid as hell like it was maybe my favorite
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: like just like shark attack movie since deep blue sea
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: deep blue sea yeah i mean like yeah literally like
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: that was the last one that i can like remember
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: like enjoying well did.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 6: You see the guy who who directed green room is
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 6: doing a a big giant shark movie I think it
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 6: was Green Room.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: The Room?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, Green Room.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I think it's The Room. No, I get what you're saying. Again,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, he's so weird. Until it happens, I don't
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: know that I'm buying. It could just be a weird
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: story that came out. I'm sure I will want to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: see it.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: We've seen shark movies before. We've seen dumb shark movies before.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 6: We've never really seen a big, dumb, crazy-ass shark movie.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: And we don't, I mean, nothing really, nothing movie-wise is
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: on the same level as The Room. So, like, trying
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: to work that thing into other movies, I don't know.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with it. So, we'll
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: see if it happens. And we'll probably do an episode
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: on it. Next up, and again, I heard this from
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, blockers. I heard a lot. I mean, again,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's pretty gross-out comedy, but I think people
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: were expecting the worst, and there's some pretty solid stuff
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: in there as dumb comedies go. Solo, again, I feel
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: like there was a lot of weight on that one
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: coming in. But the winner is, and again, by a
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: good margin, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. I was very... impressed with.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: The person that wrote in said, I'm a fan, so
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: I'm glad they didn't mess it up. I wasn't even like,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, again, I'm a big Spider-Man. I mean, everybody's
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: seen Spider-Man in normal, different ways over the years. I
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: remember a ton of the cartoon stuff over the years. Obviously,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: all the movies. I had a few of the comics,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: but I wasn't steeped in the comics. So I don't
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: think I brought that much comic baggage to it, which
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Once you get into the Spider-Verse stuff, there's a lot
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: to unpack in the comics end of it. So the
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: fact that they kind of draw from all that stuff
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: in the comics, but they don't adhere to it so
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: much so that they're forced to do exactly what a
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: specific comic book says. But in doing their own thing,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: they also don't step on the toes of what everybody
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: loved about the comics. So it kind of takes... the
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: best of everything and rolls it into what is also
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: a genuinely good movie. So I think it, yeah, I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: think it caught people off guard that they expected it
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: to be another hacky, especially because it's animated and sometimes
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: they'll slap anything together animated just because they know animated
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: stuff makes money. But yeah, this one was actually surprisingly
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: well done. This is one of my favorite categories and
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't even come up with it. It was a
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: listener request. Many years ago suggested this as a category.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: It seems very fitting for our mood on this show.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: The dreariest study of the human condition in a 2018 film.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: And here's, again, not even a nominee. This just came
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: in as one of the comments to counterbalance the splosions comment,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: I guess. The Predator. This thing was a paint-by-numbers exercise
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: in moviemaking and did the inexcusable for an action, horror, suspense,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: whatever film. It was boring. Anytime you can tell from
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: just about the first 15 minutes of the movie who's
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: going to survive at the end and who's not going
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: to make it, it's going to be dull. You can
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: pretty much determine the order they're going to bite it in.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: It goes on excessively. I didn't have that much of
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: a problem with it, but it really seemed like it
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: rubbed people the wrong way.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: I feel like, okay, so we're going by the standards
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: of the Predator movies. It can't be any worse than
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: the sequel.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, the bar is not really high.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: At the very least, it has to be like... better
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: than everything after the first movie.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I was going to say.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 6: But you know how people put attachments to things.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: And romanticize things from when I was a kid. This
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: was the most awesome movie ever, Predator.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 5: It's like, you can't get your childhood back, dude. I
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: think it's about more than just the Predator.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's a little of it.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: No, you're right.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: It was like an underwhelming episode recently. I was like,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: to me, if you're a 12-year-old kid, this movie works
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: across the board. Again, As we said in the previous category, explosions.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: There's explosions, there's violence, there's stupid things going on and
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: dumb characters. Everything going on is a lot of big
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: dumb action. If that's all you're looking for in a
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: big dumb action movie, then it delivers. Again, it is
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: dealing with the baggage of being in the Predator franchise,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm like... it's also predator.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: And by the time we get like at the, and
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: no spoilers, but there's like a super sized predator in it.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how awesome is that? Like, if you like predator,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: this is a big predator. It's that level of ridiculous.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: I'm like, if you're okay with the dumb predator, like
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: giant story that it's become over the years, I'm like,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. This is just as ridiculous. Just go
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: with it. Or don't, and a lot of people didn't.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I also like this one. Again,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: it didn't even make it to the nominees, but of
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: all the things to come up, First Man. After the
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: awesome first scene of First Man, we are punished with
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: quiet scenes of an angelic little girl getting sick and
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: dying of cancer. Why do you hate me, movie? I
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: don't know who came up with that.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 7: My boy.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: I should just give this listener a writing credit at
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: So, the actual nominees for the dreariest study of the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: human condition. Again, this one, it got many votes. I'm like,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm not going to argue with you. Fahrenheit 11.9.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: This one, no joke, if you haven't seen it, for
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: the kind of dorks that we are and listen to
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: this show. Eighth grade is amazing.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: Like it's it's great it's so well it hits the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: nail on the on the just so many heads.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: So even even the person who nominates it is like
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: eighth grade and at the same time the most uplifting
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: movie of the year like it works on so many
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: levels and like kind of gets it because so many
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: people try to tell stories about kids and like it's
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: just some middle-aged white guy making it and they miss
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: the mark massively if it's amazing that this is made
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: by a grown-up because it like and a grown-up who
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: probably didn't experience this life because it's immersed in a
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: kid growing up in school now which we just on
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: a recent episode we're talking about like how different it
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: is to be even like a grade schooler now like
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: it's the same weird dynamic that we grew up with
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: kind of but when you add the massive amounts of
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: technology in there now the fact that not just the
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: constant like phone stuff and the instagrams and whatever but
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: like when you're also trying to create your identity and
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: it is all based around being online like it's how
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: you present yourself online it's what you're doing with your
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: youtube channel like it's it's a weird thing that we
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: didn't grow up with right like The fact that this
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: movie captures so much of that is, yeah. So it
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't take many prizes this year, but it should. So
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just glad when it got the nominations that it did.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: So dreary and yet uplifting is what we're taking from this.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Next up is Hereditary. Because again, it's, yeah. Not the winner,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: but yet it needs to be here. As does Mandy,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: our next nominee. Both of them make a lot of
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: appearances on this episode. But, the winner is Annihilation. And
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: I do like the comment, by the end, this person says,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: we're not ready to meet aliens. Like, that's really the
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: takeaway from most sci-fi movies, but they sort of, again,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: hitting the nail on the head. Annihilation, like, it's a
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: weird take. It seems like it shouldn't work. And I
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: think for a lot of people it doesn't, because it's
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: not like a dumb action movie, like they may have, again,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: naming it Annihilation probably threw people off, but For being
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: smart science fiction, it's a little smarter than you would
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: even expect it to be by the end. You get
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: midway in and you're not really sure where it's going
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: to go. By the end, it's like, oh, okay, yeah, yep,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: you got a point. This is good science fiction. So,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: now we get to the music. And this is how
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: we differ. I thought it was always unfair when they
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: would disqualify people for some weird technicality, which always seems
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: to happen in the music.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 5: That's so silly.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: I throw the rules out.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: You think they would just be like, okay, this is
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: getting ridiculous.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, favorite use of a song in a 2018 movie, period.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: Does not have to be originally created for the film.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: And in fact, most of the time when we get nominations,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: it's from like older songs. So it is, to me,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: there is an artwork to taking recognizable songs and then
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: sort of weaving them into your film and making it
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: Like finding some new level between the song itself and
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: whatever this movie is that you're creating. So, yeah. I
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's what we get with these, but
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: here are our nominees. Another one bites the dust in
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: Bohemian Rhapsody. That's the one that you actually hear. They say,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: we saw the construction of the song and it revealed
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: character from all the band members in the process. And
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: we heard the whole thing. He was upset that they
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: kept cutting off songs. We're listening to arguably one of
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: the greatest bands in the world and they keep playing
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: little snippets of songs. You know we are here for
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: a movie about this band. It's okay to play their music.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: This one I liked because I have a weird attachment
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: to this artist and it's from 8th grade. It's Orinoco
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Flo from Enya. oh yeah it's a weird thing to
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: work into that story and again i i remember chasing
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: people out of the video store with inya and i
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: have a a weird soft spot in my heart with
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: her because that became our closing theme we had it
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: was like a five song like ep slash videotape like
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: they took like i guess the only video she had
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: at that time and put it on a vhs And
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: every night when it was about 15 minutes to close,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: we'd put it in. Everyone would leave. And I don't
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: mean that in a bad way, but it worked. I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: think it's just because it makes you sleepy. And everybody's
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: just like, man, I need to go home. Thank you, Inya.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: And so, like, yeah, ever since then, like, there's just
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: a warm spot in my heart for Inya. This one, again,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: I like when we cross over with the actual performers.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: This is I Will Go to War. by tessa thompson
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: who is in creed 2 and if you've seen creed
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: 2 she performs it within the context it's the walkout
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: music for adonis creed when he comes out to be
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: a badass for the fight and she's there performing it
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: with him so that's that's one of those sort of
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: awakenings in the last year or two for me is
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: like i don't think i knew who tessa thompson was
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: before about two years ago And now she's in so
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: many things, and I am never let down. She is
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: such a solid actress. So, yeah, Tessa Thompson, I'm on board.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: All right, we have another special nominee. Again, I can't argue.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: This is a great nomination. I don't know the song,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: but Fred Rogers singing to the Little Wheelchair Kid in
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Won't You Be My Neighbor... destroyed me. So much so
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: that all I could do was laugh and sob like
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: a man having a complete nervous breakdown in the middle
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: of a Sunday matinee show filled with senior citizens. I
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: never want to feel all that much at once ever again. Never, ever, ever,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: ever again. You hear me? Writing credit, I'm telling you.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: If I had a check, I'd send it over to you.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: So yes, whatever that song is from What Would You
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Be My Neighbor? but you can't most of the votes
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: that came in from this one album you can't fight
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: it the winner is Deadpool 2 we had a lot
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: of take your pick again that's how both the Deadpool
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: movies have gone it's just been a greatest hits usually
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: of the 80s so I personally was again sucker for
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: this level of cheesy music the fact that they actually
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: brought Celine Dion in to do an original song like
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Ashes is pretty damn funny it's as serious as she
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: takes all of her music and yet it's completely ridiculous
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: and over the top so I guess like bonus points
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: to her for having that sense of humor to let
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: them poke foot at the fact that it's Celine Dion
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: but that's not the one that got all the votes
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: would you like to guess what got all the votes
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: what got all the votes it's from a film it's
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: from a previous film probably nominated back in its own
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: day for best songs at flash dance winner is nine
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: to five huh huh from our friend dolly part that
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: is a catchy song it is a great song so
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: i mean she just won a special lifetime achievement award
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: at the grammys like people love dolly parton so you
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: can't you can't fight can't fight it so Next up,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: the favorite score in a 2018 film. And again, it
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: does not have to be specifically created for the film.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Johnny Greenwood for You Were Never Really Here. Which, is
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: that good? I heard good things about the movie as
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: a whole, but.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: It's great. Number one, because it's just.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 5: Well, okay, it's like 85 minutes. It's just like it's
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 5: so brisk and to the point. It's one of those
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 5: movies where it's so good because all the bullshit is
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 5: trimmed away. Yeah. And it just only parts that matter.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 5: So it's almost like when you watch it, it's kind
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 5: of this master class in editing. It gets rid of
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 5: so many unnecessary scenes, so it kind of becomes this like...
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know how to describe it. It's very dark.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: It's another one that's been on my list that I
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: never get around to watching movies, sadly. All I do
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: is edit this nonsense. I was doing it this weekend.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, but I have a movie sitting up there
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: I want to watch, but I have to get the
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: episode done.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 5: It's a stupid show that I... It's probably walking Phoenix's.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 5: I would say maybe his best role yet. If I,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, I mean there's, you could pick a lot
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 5: of his stuff or at least several of his stuff
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 5: from like the last 20 years. But I feel like
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: this is like his most like human character and not
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 5: so much. Cause he's, He's known for going full method
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 5: and kind.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: Of being like... He's a weird dude.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 5: Like in The Master, but this is the first role
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 5: I feel like I've seen where I'm like, oh, he's
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 5: like a fully rounded human that I can sympathize with
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 5: and seems to be like someone you could talk to.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: You'd be intimidated to talk to him on the street,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: but at the same time, you would be able to
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: engage on some level, I guess.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: Not since Space Camp has he been so endearing. I
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: love that movie I forgot I forgot he was in
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: it too well it's because he was Leaf that's he
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: snuck it in there you didn't know it was him
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: wow but um johnny greenwood's another one of those it's
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: oh he's funny how consistent now he is a go-to
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: yes almost every year he's gonna be there if not
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: getting an oscar nomination like delivering some of the most
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: like renowned scores being made these years.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: And that score, especially as I feel like is really
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 5: good because it's, it's mostly like electronic or a lot
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 5: of it is electronic. I feel like, so it's like
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 5: Johnny Greenwood being Johnny Greenwood and kind of having these
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 5: like weird, like strings, but also there's like, just, there's
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: kind of like a, like a Trent Reznor, like element
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 5: to it as well. So it kind of makes for this, like, kind.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: Of weird score like unofficial like yeah but um so
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 10: it's just i mean yeah it's a really great soundtrack
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 10: i would definitely buy it on vinyl if they were
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 10: around um.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: The next one i'm like yeah i guess and yet
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: it's kind of weird like of course and yet really
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: at the same time halloween specifically as someone put but
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: only for sentimental reasons like so i'm like do i
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: love that theme yes is the new version much different?
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: Not really.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Like, does it even qualify for the Oscars? I'm guessing no.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: So luckily you get nominated for the boiler. So next
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: up again, we returned to Creed two specifically because as
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: they say, the workout soundtrack is back. They really like the, the,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: the first Creed movie almost went out of its way
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: to like, not hit you over the head with the
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: Rocky theme. Like it, it, it really wanted to be
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: its own movie and it did that. And there were
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: only touches of it when you were like, Oh my God,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: they're playing it. You know, cause you know, it's Rocky movie.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: That's what you're there for. So when they work it in,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: it's a big deal where by now, like they've already
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: established themselves. So when they, when you get to the
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: workout montage, they're just like, fuck it, let's do it.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: It's just old school Rocky workout montage, only it's Creed. So, Yep,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: it's pretty awesome.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 6: Hey, it worked well six times before.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: Well, four. The other ones have issues, but mostly five.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: All right, next up. Again, I like the phrasing on
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: this one. The nomination is, I like that annihilation score.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: I feel smart when I listen to it. I feel smart.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: I love our listeners.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 6: Well, this is either one of our listeners or someone
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 6: who stumbled upon this page.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: I'm going to write in some stuff.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: But the winner is, and again, this one got a
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: good amount of votes, Mandy. Hands down is what this
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: one put.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 5: Great score, too.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 5: That was a good one.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: This is the year for Mandy. Yeah.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 5: It's a good final score from... His name escapes me,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 5: but it was the last movie he did before he died,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 5: I think.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Nicolas Cage.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 5: Yes, it was Nicolas Cage.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: Also a composer. I'm lying. That's not true. All right,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: we're coming to the big ones here. We've got... Next
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: up is director. Most impressive director of a 2018 film. Again,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: in a different year. Can't argue... First up is the
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Russo brothers. As this person put it, the sheer amount
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: of moving parts in this film seems like a nightmare
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: to even think about putting together, but they managed to
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: spread the story out where no one ever got shortchanged
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: and everything made sense. This thing could have been a
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: huge mess, but they kept it together. Great art, not
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: really that kind of movie. Impressive? Hell yeah. That is
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: an impressive feat in filmmaking, if nothing else. Again, I
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: was kind of caught off guard how many people voted
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: for John Krasinski. He's directed before, but like A Quiet
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: Place really sort of put him on the map. I
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: think people really started noticing, oh, he can do this too.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it was really well done. But yeah,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: I think it kind of helped him make his name
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: as a director. So I think we'll probably see more
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: of him more often, I would think, especially now that
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: he's Jack Ryan. You've got Jack Ryan money rolling in.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: You can back your own side projects. This one, again,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: surprised me because it only turned up like once or
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: twice in the entire voting, but enough that it got
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: nominated for Best Director, Wes Anderson, for Isle of Dogs.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 5: You know what? I would concur. I would definitely agree
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 5: that that was one of the better directed.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I keep saying it, but I'm like, that
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: is the most perfect situation for me. Like, he's such
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: a controlling director. You control everything in stop motion animation.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: But it is stop motion, too. So it's like, you're
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 5: not directing actors. So it's like, are you, like, what
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: is your role?
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, it changes it.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: It's very hermetically sealed, like all of his stuff. I
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: guess that's the impression I'm getting. Again, I'm like, it's
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 5: the most perfect art form for him.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: Like, it is awesome. almost devoid of humanity but at
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: the same time being the most artistic thing you can
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: do like it fits all of his weird stuff that
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: he's into like and really he's he's getting a little
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: better at again that's what i've talked about lately like
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: these last two movies are turning me like i was
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: kind of somewhere in the middle i was always impressed
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: with him but i feel like there's such a disconnect
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: with humans and like in this movie that most of
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: the cast isn't human like you still kind of care
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: about these characters. Like it, he's getting the, this one
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: in the, the, the hotel, like the, both of those
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: are like finding characters and, and finding reasons to care
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: about characters that we didn't use to get from his movies.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: I think he's kind of getting better and better as
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: a director. So I, again, I don't argue with him
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: being on here, but I just, I heard so little
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: about that movie this year. I was surprised they got
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: the nomination that did next up. I don't even know.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Do they pronounce it?
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 5: Ari?
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: Ari Aster for Hereditary?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: A-R-I.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 5: I think it's Ari.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: I would go with Ari. Again, seats open.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: Come on down.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: Your sign is in your chair right now waiting for you.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 7: Come fight us.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 6: I don't know what you're doing.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 5: If he doesn't show up funny in the episode, then
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 5: it's official.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: I've got baloney sitting here with your name on it.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on. Of course I work baloney into these.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 6: I would have been disappointed otherwise.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: It's the classiest of all meats. It's obvious.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 6: It's even right there in the name, Bologna.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Bologna can also be your response to that.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 5: That was definitely like a director, like a director movie.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 5: As far as like compared to say like John Krasinski,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 5: which he did a fine job, but at the same time, it's,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 5: it's one of those, there's a distinct like visual and
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 5: like sense of things being placed.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 5: It's very particular.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: And, I mean, it's almost more showy. And I don't
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: mean that in a bad way, really. Because A Quiet
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Place is really well put together, but it's all about tension.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: It's all about playing with that balance of lack of sound.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: And then how do you use that to crank up
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: the tension? And how do you use the scenario? Whereas
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: Hereditary is like.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit like Wes Anderson. It's kind of
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 5: the hermetically sealed kind of dollhouse sensibility. Literally.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: At moments. But on top of that, it also is
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: all playing with mood and tone. Because it almost, again,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: almost like the Wes Anderson thing, it's almost in its
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: own weird little world. Like it almost... Yeah, like you
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: get in there and it's like it doesn't feel like
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: your reality almost, but it still sucks you in. So
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: that's something if you can do that. Like that says
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: something about the director if you can make that work.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: Because I feel like if you were trying to do
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: that and you didn't have the skill, it would really
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: fall flat. And this one doesn't.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: But the winner is for Best Director, Panos Kazimantos.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: For Mandy. Again, I'm not surprised.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 5: I'm happy with that.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: It is the year of Mandy. Let's give it all to.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: Mandy, really. It was the MVP of the year, I think.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 5: Most people would... I will say that's the movie that,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, no matter what wins
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 5: at the Oscars, I feel like more people that I
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: talk to are like, I don't know, just in conversation,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 5: will remember that movie and not whatever else. Whatever bullshit.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: Again, that's kind of what I.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: Keep coming back to this four. It's like it is
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: a ridiculous amount of orchestrating to get people to get
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: votes in and all of this. But I'm like, in
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: the end, I feel like... It's a reflection. Yeah, I
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: feel like it is like a snapshot on this year.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: And it's sort of an alternate version of, you know,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: we have the Oscars and the Oscars do what they
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: do just fine. Like, it's entertaining. It's its own group
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: of movies. But I feel like there's something... that is
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: like there's an in-between spot that it's not like it's
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: not like it's nothing but splosion movies yes we welcome
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: the predators of the world but at the same time
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: i think by the time you know all the votes
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: get in you get a pretty good quality and you
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: start getting a mixture of like yes we get a
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: lot of horrific stuff in here but there's a lot
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: of art house too and i think it's a reflection
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: of stuff that doesn't always turn up in the mainstream
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: even to the level i mean The Oscars loves to
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: be artsy, but it's not Mandy artsy. like it doesn't
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: do her a Terry artsy like doesn't know how to
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: process it's it's it's.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 5: Just amazing for what the kind of movie it is
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 5: it's all of a piece yeah which most movies last
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 5: year I weren't I don't feel like I mean even
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 5: the ones I liked that were like I would say
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 5: like of quality like they kind of wavered in spots
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: or they kind of felt bloated and Mandy was just
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 5: like it was like like the thing like it just
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 5: felt like a whole like solid It's preconceived into its form. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 5: Like a perfectly cut out diamond of a movie. Yeah.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, to balance it out with the mainstream,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: because I do like to welcome the explosion movies. So
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: but I again, it's that's what I think is almost
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: annoying about the Oscars. And even they found it frustrating
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: because that's why they added all these other dumb. You know,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: we're going to have 10 now. Now we're going to
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: have however many we feel like the Oscars cannot make
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: a decision to save their lives in the last decade.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: But because they're trying to pit like the biggest money-making,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: critically acclaimed audience, beloved movies against whatever weird little art
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: house movie is out there. And I'm like, that's kind
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: of not a fair fight. Like the other one has
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars worth of promotion. And of course, everybody's
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: going to vote for this one. While, you know, there's
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: weird little indie movies out there that are equally a solid,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: equally need to be viewed by people, but they just
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: don't get that window. They don't get that. time for
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: people to find them so i like breaking it up
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: so and and i also liked leaving it up to
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: the voter to decide what fell on which side of
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: the scale which backfires on them sometimes so i put
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: it as favorite what you would consider mainstream movie of
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: 2018 and i do get questionable ones or people that
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: will be voting for the same thing but on two
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: different sides so like it might have won if everybody
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: would have gotten together and decided what kind of movie
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: it was But some people think it's still indie. I
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: don't know. It is a slippery slope these days. If
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: you come up with a million dollars, you're still an
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: indie movie. But I don't have a million dollars. That's
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: a hell of a feat right there. But again, you're
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: going up against $ 200 million movies. So it's a weird thing.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: So the nominees for mainstream are Deadpool 2, Creed 2.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: These are solid options. A quiet place, which, again, needs
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: to be there. I like the phrasing on this. Spider-Verse
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: all day, every day. Specifically, they go on to say,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: before we get to the winner, just because Spider-Verse didn't win,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: but it does need to have its moment in the sun.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: I had high hopes for this film based on the trailers,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: and it blew them out of the water. For me,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: this was pound for pound the most enjoyable film I
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: saw this year. The animation style was something new, somehow
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: harkened back to the comic book style without ever coming
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: off as distracting. The story was original, but still paid
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: tribute to the comic foundation. While it had its darkish moments,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: it wasn't grim dark dark grim, as the fashion of
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: the day seems to be.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 5: DC.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 6: DC.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: The shot of Miles, the new Spider-Man leaping off the
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: skyscraper and then the camera turning upside down to make
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: it appear as if he's actually flying instead of falling.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: That was just great cinematography. I love this movie. So again,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: like this is the kind of thing that you're probably
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: not going to see Spider-Verse in the Oscars, but like
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: these are the ones that like the geeks find even
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: something as mainstream as that doesn't get like, you know,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't get the praise that it probably deserves from regular people.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: So I like kind of, showcasing these things along the
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: way as we go not the winner but you can't
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: be i mean it's mainstream movie of the year the
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: winner is avengers infinity war like i what am i
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: gonna argue i just re-watched it recently and i'm just
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: i'm still like enthralled midway in i'm like i know
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: how this goes and i'm still like some of those
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: scenes are just so damn good and some of the
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: performances along the way the fact that we're still getting
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: such a dynamic character out of Robert Downey Jr. A
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: decade in this many movies into this same guy. And
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: he's still interesting to me. Like they're still kind of
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: unpacking whatever weirdness is going on in that, in that
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: guy and that actor, like everything about it is still
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: in like, so with all of these other aspects, adding Thanos,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: adding Spider-Man into the mix, like all of these things,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: like it's, It's still more than just an entertaining movie.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: I think it is really well made. So, again, not
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: going to argue. Mainstream movie of the year, Avengers, obviously.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 6: That works for me.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: But for the other side, the favorite what you would
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: consider indie movie in 2018, the nominees are Won't You
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: Be My Neighbor. Again, the kind of thing, you know,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: you're not going to see that. upgrade got a lot
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: i'm hearing pretty good things about upgrade i felt like
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: i saw the trailer and went wait is this venom
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: it's kind of it's like it seems like the same
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: basic storyline and yet from what i'm hearing this one
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: is really well put together and no offense to shut
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: up i like venom but you know it's it's yeah
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: i feel like this was that you know it's playing
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: with that dynamic again but from what i hear this
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: is a pretty solid movie so Next up, and this
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: is one of those where I have the question mark.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: Isle of Dogs. Is that an indie? I mean, it is.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: It's Wes Anderson. He always seems more indie, but that's
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: a pretty big.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 5: I just think like, okay, who put it out? Is
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 5: it like, I think like Sony's indie label.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sure a studio came along and released it, yeah.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: But even like... Normal indie movies don't have the kind
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: of funding to put together stop-motion animation.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 5: They could have gotten away with that with maybe 90s
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 5: Wes Anderson movies, but I feel like he's too much of.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bottle Rock, it's an indie movie. Isle of Dogs,
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to call.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: It's definitely not an indie movie.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: It's worth being nominated somewhere, but it is weird that
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: it landed on the indie side.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 6: I think this goes back to what we've talked about before.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 6: The lines of what is and what isn't an indie
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 6: movie anyway are just kind of blurred.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: It's kind of confusing. I get it. I don't know exactly.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: That's why I leave it up to them. I don't
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: want to have to nail down this should be an
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: indie movie. I'm like, who the hell am I to say?
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: I kind of like leaving it to the viewer. Next up, Hereditary. Again,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: you end up with a solid group of people when
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: you add all this stuff up. I think That's what
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: I think is interesting. Not the winner. Do I really
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: have to? I mean, you know what the winner is, right?
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: And the winner is Mandy. I mean, it is the
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: year of Mandy as the alternate cinema world goes. And
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: that's what I was saying before. Yeah, I was going
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: to say, these are.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 5: All like arthouse, I wouldn't say independent films.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: But weird. Again, it's not the favorite end of arthouse,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: which is its own weird movie. But that's the one
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: that kind of got elevated up to Oscar level. Whereas
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: stuff like Mandy's not going to get there. Hereditary's not
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: going to get there. You know, it's like.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: And it's not that it shouldn't. It's just Oscar people
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: don't know how to deal with that kind of movie.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: And that's one of the things I keep coming back to.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: And I like having this because I feel like it is.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: You can go back and even just the years that
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: we've been doing this, you can kind of look at
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: what won and be like, these are interesting to look
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: at because it's not the Oscar movies usually. And so
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: you're looking at like, well, are these movies that our
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: level of fans find interesting? you know, entertaining, are they
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: the ones that are going to hold up? If you
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: come back in 10 or 20 years, are you even
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: going to remember what won the Oscar that year? But
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: these movies that made their way are probably still, you're
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: still thinking about them on a daily basis sometimes. So
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: that's the kind of weird stuff that I like. Cause
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: these are, I mean, these are specifically stuff like Mandy
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: and hereditary. It's like, these are movies that fall on
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: both sides of the scale. It's like, we're cause our,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, coming out of the stuff that we do,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: it's like we're half drive-in theater and half art house.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, that's both. Like those movies, like
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: neither could exist without both of those ends of cinema.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: Upgrade two is that's exactly what it is.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all of these. It's like these are the kind
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: of movies that fall in that little world. Yeah, it's
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: like they play on both sides. So it's all these
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: filmmakers that came up probably watching schlockier stuff that was
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: drive-in movies. And then kind of being interested in that,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: specifically after the 90s, that arthouse thing kicked in. So
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: it's like, what if I took the smarts of an
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: arthouse movie and put it together with the shock value
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: of a schlock movie? And you get all of this
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: stuff that we keep getting. But again, the kind of
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: stuff that's not going to get recognition from super mainstream
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: Oscar kind of bullshit. So again, I like that we
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: have this list. So thank you for coming along on
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: this ride. Of course. And if you yourself disagree with
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: any of these nominees or winners, did you vote? Because,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's how we got these. So, it's kind
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: of your fault if you don't like it.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 6: So, how many categories did Mandy take?
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 5: Did you keep track of it?
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see. I mean, it was.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 5: At least half.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's Best Indie Movie, it's Best Director, it's
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: Best Score, it's... It may have just been the big
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: ones there. Because Annihilation took a lot from it. It
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: was neck and neck on a lot of them.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 6: Hereditary seemed to show up a few times as well.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: Hereditary, Annihilation, and Mandy. Which again, these are weird. I mean,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: at least Annihilation is kind of Oscar-ish. But at the
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: same time, it's a weird movie even for the Oscars
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: to get on board with. So, yeah. I think it
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: was just the big ones. It was just at the
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: end there. It took the main three or four there
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: at the end.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 5: All three of those movies... feel like are better than
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 5: all the best pictures yeah i mean again if i'm
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 5: thinking of i don't even know what i mean i
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 5: know a few of what's nominated but none of them
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 5: were and.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: None of them were as important as the foiler winners
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: so any of you that have won or feel free
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: to come by and pick up your foil i have
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: it right here you can you can hear it right
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: there real foil.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: It's great because like from a certain angle just looks
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 5: like um well it just looks like a big chunk
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 5: of aluminum foil but if you turn it it's like
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 5: oh it's magically now.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: An Oscar you have to angle it it's like an
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: optical illusion.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 6: Right now it looks like a body in a morgue
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 6: covered by one of those blankets that's.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: Part of the creepiness that's what bothers me it's very
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: fitting to give the movies that one but.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 6: When you turn it to the side it kind of
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 6: looks like a giant penis.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: Also, kind of fitting for some of our films.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 6: But yeah, please come pick up your Foiley because it
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: will look great on your shelf of other awards.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can knock that Oscar out of the way
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: and just put this Foiler right next to it. Alright, so, again,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: thank you for voting. This has become a fight every
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: year to actually get people involved, so if you are
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: interested in this or pissed off that you didn't, you know,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: the ones you wanted to win didn't, go ahead and
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: email us right now. Get on the list. I'll try
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: to keep track of people for next year, so get
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: involved for next year and you can kind of swing
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: the pendulum that way. There's a few of them that were,
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: came down to one vote sometimes, so you could have
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: made the change, so Get involved. Be there next year.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 6: Plus, this is a good way for everybody who's always
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 6: complaining about the movies that they love that don't get
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 6: any recognition.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: And then, yeah, you've got to get involved.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 5: Make your own award.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: Help spread the word.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: Because there were movies on here today I was not
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 6: familiar with that I will probably go out and watch.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: That was my takeaway. There were two or three different
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: ones that I was like... Either just knew it by
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: title or there were a couple I didn't even know
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: the title. Right. And they kept popping up and I
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: was like, what is this? And then I went and
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: looked at the trailer. I was like, holy shit. So yeah,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: I've added three or four just off the... the nominees
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: that came in that i was either barely aware of
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: that now have been pushed to the top of the
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: list of stuff i need to see so i think
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: this is like one of those things that you can
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: use this you know the nominees and maybe not even
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: much like the oscars it's not about winning it's just
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: an honor to be nominated but you look at this
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: list of nominees you're probably going to find some really
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: interesting movies that maybe you didn't already know about so
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: Use this list as a tool. Go out and find
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: all these movies and watch them.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 6: But it is also a big honor to win a Foiler.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: I think it is. As the creator of the Foilers,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: I find it very prestigious. And I will gladly hand
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: you one if you win. Probably not without it, though.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: I do think it's... There's someone I wanted to give
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: one last year, but they didn't win. And I'm like, sorry.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: And then I wadded it up and threw it away.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 7: So.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: I was like, it would have been an otter, but...
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: This is all about Foley this year. But, yeah, then
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: that's the other thing as far as getting the word out.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: It's getting the word out about these movies as well.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: So if you know anybody out there that likes these
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: kind of weird movies that you do and probably isn't
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: paying attention to our show, send them the link for...
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: either this episode or I'm going to put it all
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: into text form. Once this episode goes up the following week,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to release all of it in text form
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: on the website. So you can send them the list.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: You can send them us rambling for this episode and
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: maybe they'll find some good movies. So help spread the
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: word that way too. And just pass the link on
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: to other people and spread the word about all of
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: these movies. Maybe they've never heard of Mandy and you'll
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: blow their mind. All right, let's round things out with
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: this year's winner. For best song. That's right. We're going
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: out with Miss Dolly Parton. Otherwise, that about does it.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: We will return next time. Same geek feed. Thanks for listening.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: It's been an honor bringing you The Foilers.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Dolly.

  Speaker 8: Try to come to life.

• 1:43:42
  Speaker 8: They just use your mind And they never give you
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 8: credit It's enough to drive you crazy To fight for
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 8: service and devotion.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 12: You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 8: Want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 8: let me.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 12: I swear sometimes that man is out to get me.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 8: They let you dream just to watch them shatter. You're
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 8: just a step on the boss man's ladder. But you've
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 8: got dreams he'll never take away.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 11: You're on the same boat with a lot of your friends.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 11: Waiting for the day your ship will come in. And
• 1:44:29

• 1:44:35
  Speaker 12: what a way to make a living. Getting by, it's
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 12: all taking and no giving. They just use your mind
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 12: and you never.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 8: Get the credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 8: you let it. 9 to 5, yeah, they got you
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 8: where they want you.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 12: There's no better life than you think about it, don't you?
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 8: It's okay. Rich man's game, no matter what they call
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 8: it And you.
• 1:45:05

  Speaker 8: just use your money, then they never give you credit
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 8: It's enough to drive you.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: Crazy Speaking of which, I need to try some of this.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: All right, so tell us once again what I'm trying here.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 6: That is maple syrup cotton candy.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: Which I'm all about. Granted, I actually used to work
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: in really terrible desserts as a tie-in. I would find
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: a way to put bacon on a brownie, which I
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: don't really eat. Actually, they released it. I can see
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: that being good. They released it. It was like a
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: Pillsbury or Duncan Hines. Somebody put out the ones that
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: had the normal Duncan Hines tub o-icing, and then the
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: top had a little cup on it with bacon bits
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: in it. I swear to God. I was just like, well,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: they put it out. This isn't even my fault.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 6: Chocolate and salt go amazingly well together.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: The whole weird sea salt. But bacon, but meat. I
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: don't know. Bacon found a weird fan base these last
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: 10 years. I can't say anything.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 5: I've had plenty of maple logs in my time.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: Once again, maple syrup cotton candy is the way to
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: round out this episode.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 6: A fun fact about this stuff. If you let one
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 6: of these bags sit here for about three weeks, it
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 6: will eventually start to dry out and shrink down and
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 6: it's these little chunks of sugar and my wife breaks
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 6: them up and puts them in her oatmeal and says
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 6: it's delicious. And my buddy Pat did that with his coffee,
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 6: which to me doesn't sound great, but he said it
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 6: was pretty good.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you leave this sitting here, I'll probably
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: shove it in some coffee tomorrow.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that is yours to keep. I don't want that.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: But that makes me think if you.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 6: Feel free to take this other bag home.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: Have you, or more specifically, I suppose, in this story now,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: your wife tried the dinosaur eggs... Oatmeal? No. Again, I
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: don't even think it's name brand. I think it's like
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: the Kroger knockoff oatmeal. They've got one box that's specifically
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: geared for kids, and it's like dinosaur eggs. Basically, it's
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: just a chunk of sugary maple sugar, something, some sort
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: of brown sugar egg that comes out with your packet
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: of oatmeal, and then you just stir it up, and
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: it kind of mixes. brown sugar mixed in but it's
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: supposed to be.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 6: A dinosaur maybe i did see that.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: If not you can buy it and it might just
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: confuse her but i.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 6: I have not been able to eat oatmeal since i
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 6: saw the golden child that's.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: Quite a takeaway do you want to elaborate.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 6: Well i don't know if you remember the beginning of
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 6: the golden child they have the bowls of oatmeal that
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 6: are also full of blood Sure. That's the way mine
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 6: is every morning. Well, there was a product when I
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 6: was a kid, at the same time that movie came out,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 6: I think it was called.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: Swirlers.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 6: And you had your oatmeal and you heated your oatmeal
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 6: and it had like a little pack of jelly that
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 6: you could like swirl on top. Well, what I would
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 6: do is I would put it on, I would just
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 6: put it all on top of the oatmeal and then
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 6: stir the oatmeal up. And when you press the spoon
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 6: into the oatmeal... The jelly would squirt out, and that
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 6: was fine until there's a scene in The Golden Child
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 6: where Eddie Murphy presses on the oatmeal with the spoon,
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 6: and the strawberry-colored blood that looked exactly like the swirlers
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 6: that I ate every morning came squirting out, and I
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 6: was like, I'm done.
