  Speaker 1: This program, some video and audio portions of which were pre-recorded,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is brought to you in living color on NBC.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: It's Hollywood's biggest night, the Meltdown Awards.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the Academy of Motion
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Picture Arts and Sciences, An Academy Award winning producer himself.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I'm Jacqueline.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: And I'm Ben.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And we're coming to you live via digital recording from
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the Oddity Studios Pavilion, home of this year's Meltdown Awards.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of award ceremonies out there around
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: this time of year in particular. But as usual, we
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: here at Movie Meltdown, we feel that they don't all
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: get it right. Some of them just screw it up
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and give the award to the wrong movies. Some of
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: them completely overlook smaller films, more obscure films, weird performances
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and or personalities. So we've done what we can to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: create our own award and fill in the blanks and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: take care of these people that are getting overlooked by
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the bigger awards. Which I did want to get into...
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: So there was a whole big thing going into the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Grammys about where the voting was coming from. And people
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: got all bent out of shape about it. And we're like,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: some people weren't going to perform. And some people were,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it just became a huge scandal. And
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I don't really understand. I'm like, for anyone else in
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the world, like maybe for the performers, it makes some
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: sort of difference. I don't know. But to me, I'm
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: watching it going, who cares? These people I don't know
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: that are voting that's not me get to make the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: decision versus these people over here I don't know that
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: are not me that are making the decisions. Like, what
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: difference does it make? I don't know where the hell
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: any of these decisions come from. So, I don't know.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Does anybody care who votes for these? Other than, obviously,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the foilers. The important awards, which is you people out
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: there listening right now. The only thing, I guess, what.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Was it with the Grammys that the people that are
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: voting are not necessarily going to even, like... be hip-hop
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: fans so they're less likely to have voted for it
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: so it's like if you're not gonna be but i
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: don't know i don't really remember that whole scandal so.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Again it was a couple weeks ago and we've already
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: already been like whatever i didn't really it was almost
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: over by that night because they didn't even bother mentioning
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: it because there was a new thing to get upset
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: about so i don't.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Know but no i didn't i don't really care about
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: any of that i mean you know that Whatever they
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: come up with, whatever the voting is, like, that's not
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: some kind of objective truth. It's just some people think this.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And that's what I think with all of them. Like,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: even the Academy. I'm like, every year, like, I watch it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's fun. I still like the sort of history of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it and the pageantry of it. But I'm just like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: because it gets this dumb statue doesn't mean it's really
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: any better. Don't get me wrong. I'll gladly accept one
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: if they'd like to give me an Oscar. But... I'm like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really mean it's any better than any other movie.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It just won this award. The whole thing is a game.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: You played the game the best. You won the prize.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Here you go. But it doesn't like artistically trying to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: award one thing better than another is kind of bullshit anyway.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: There's a formula to it. Like that's why at the
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: end of the year there's Oscar season when you see
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: all these movies coming out that fit their particular profile.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Checklist.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I just, I feel like, well, with the Grammys, like,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I've never really been invested in, like, the, like, who
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: gets those awards, like, even more than the Oscars. Like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I think that the Grammys are just, like, a total, like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: promotional stunt.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: For, like, whatever new artist that year, like, had their
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: first album. Because it feels like, I don't know, like,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: I feel like, just, like, I remember, like, Taylor Swift, like,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: when she, like, blew up, like, she swept... And then
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: whatever new pop artists, I don't know. I don't even know.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: This year, it was well-deserved. That's the thing. It swept
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: this year, and I was like, good. I think she
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: deserves it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I think Billie Eilish is a genius. Yeah, I was
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: going to say, I don't think I've even heard one
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: of her songs. So maybe she did.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm so amazed by her. And for the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: longest time, I had no idea this other detail. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I'm listening to her, and I'm like, she's a really
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: good songwriter. And it was only recently that I went, wait,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: she's how old? She was like a child writing the,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how do you get to be that good
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a songwriter when you're, I mean, she had to be
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: like 15 on that her first album with some of
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the stuff she's writing. I was like, how the hell
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: do you get to be this polished a songwriter? So again,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in that case, you know, most years I could care less,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: but I was kind of happy as she like stuck
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it to the older artists. I'm like, good. Cause you're
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: really talented. So who cares?
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be on the Oscars too. For
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: no other reason, I think just because she's super popular.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Because her song that she's doing for a soundtrack doesn't
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: come out until next year, so she'll be back to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: perform next year. I'm only guessing when it gets nominated, but.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't typically listen to a lot of pop music,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: so there's a lot of the times that I'm just like,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: the Grammys is mostly really popular artists that year, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I just haven't had a chance to really listen to it,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: so I'm not invested.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Everyone has listened to Lil Nas X at this.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Point, and fortunately that one song.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: But those outfits are fire i was a big fan
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that's the thing the sweet gay cowboy goodness this year.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I just wish that song didn't get so annoying and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: he wasn't working with i already have no respect for
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: him like well now seems pretty cool actually like i
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like i like him as a person i don't really
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: need to hear that song He's got other songs, too. Yeah,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I know, but that's the only one they play. That's
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the only one they play. Much like most of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: music industry. Oh, well. We'll get to our music picks later. So,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: as you guys were coming in on the red carpet,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: we'll go back over it now. As always, it's not,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: who are you wearing? Here at the Meltdown Awards, it's,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: what are you wearing? So... I myself dug out this
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: fine Iron Man, specifically from one of our nominees several
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: times over, I believe. No spoilers. Yeah, it's from Endgame
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in particular, and it's a fine t-shirt with Iron Man
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: on it. I try not to wear anything other than
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: jeans if I can help it. And these bitchin' chucks
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: here are limited edition, no longer being made, thank you
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: very much. And yes, everyone's favorite movie, Suicide Squad, is
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: what they're tied to. That's hilarious. He is the light,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the way. So, yeah, be glad you don't have those.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But Chucks are awesome, so that's mine. Do you have
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: any wonderful fashion tips you'd like to pass along with
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: your red carpet outfits this evening?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I have distressed tights today. That means they have holes
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: in them.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You paid a lot extra for that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Because I put them on too quickly. Okay. I have
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: a floral dress from a clothing swap. Ah. That means,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: you know, you don't even have to spend a penny
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You are so trendy.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And I have, with my glasses today, I have a
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: little lanyard that's beaded, kind of like how old people
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: have with their readers. And it's just a really nice
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: fashion accessory that really catches the eye. No pun intended.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Or pun intended. It works either way.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Well, I have been out....
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Styles.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Stylin'. Stylin' is what we're looking for.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: So I'm just wearing, like, just a regular flannel button-up.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: If I wasn't so hot, I would also have my
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: flannel on.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: From fuckin' Macy's or somewhere.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Lacey's.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Like, uh... I guess... Man, I'm, like, There is no
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: way to tie any of this to a movie.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Actually, I didn't even realize the shoes until I put
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: them on and went, oh, they are actually a movie
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: tie-in because I'm a dork.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: And I'm wearing some tennis shoes. Probably inappropriate for the weather,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: but I just want to pay tribute to my idol Kobe.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know. So there's no significance in any of
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: my clothing, unfortunately.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: But that in and of itself is its own statement.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're really going out of your way to make
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a statement if you're not making a statement.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I was hoping you guys would pick up on that. Yeah,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: that was 100% my plan. Thank you for noticing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: You and your weird political nonsense you're trying to put
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: out there with some sort of statement. I don't understand
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: most of them.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: It's fine.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Well, as usual in all of our years, this also
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: centers around, you know, food. So, as we've gotten further
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: away from the... We've always been centered around food, but
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to branch out. Since we've broken away from
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a specific ceremony and we are our own ceremony, now
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I just thought we'd go with a fancy awards dinner.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And so we have fancy hors d'oeuvres. Look, there's... It
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: has to be fancy. There's frilly toothpicks in there. You
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: can't question it. I mean... Now it's a meatball with
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: some hash browns stuck on top of it there, but
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: And really fancy pizza rolls. Like they're gourmet pizza rolls.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: They're so fancy, they don't even have pizza roll innards.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: This one, the ham and cheese one, has like some
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: kind of texture on it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: And that's really nice.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: That was the thing as I got that. I didn't
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: realize there were as many options in there. I thought
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it was just like maybe tube. then i was like
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: well how the hell are you gonna know the difference
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: but then each one is its own weird this one's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a little weird square thing and then.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: That's a diverse and interesting bite.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: That one's round this one's rectangle i mean they're all
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: very different and fancy extra fancy with this frilly toothpick
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: hey park what is.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: That don't bother me now sweetie can't see i'm busy
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: yeah but what is that it's.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: A major award on the foiler it's the reason we're
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: all here it's the foilers look at it in all
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: its majesty listen to it in all its foiliness.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Most expensive foil.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: On the market $ 4.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: 99 for a roll.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I think it was. This was like the industrial kind
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: for like grilling or something. I don't know. It was
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: in a different colored box that I didn't really realize
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: until I got home and went, what is this? It's
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: still foil, right? Yeah, it's foil.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Holds its shape better.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Industrial strength just for foilers.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I still have a Polaroid from one of the foilers
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: from like four years ago.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I've got. That's right. I forgot you just got that camera.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: You're like, let's use it for nonsense like foilers. My
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: favorite is still, you know, the boiler with the dog action.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I think I posted that on the website after all
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the nominees. It was just like, and here's the real
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: boiler winner. Speaking of nominees, now that we have the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: addition of Meltdown Horror Club, Movie Meltdown itself has been
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: nominated for the prestigious Rondo Award this year. I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: know if you guys have caught that, but. it's pretty awesome. And, um,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: thanks to the awesome listeners who, who nominated us and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: got it on the ballot. So we are legitimately on
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the ballot next to many bigger, fancier, uh, shows. So
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to be involved in part of the fun.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: If you'd like to vote for us, um, you can
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: go to Rondo award.com. You just send them an email
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and you vote for us. We're like, again, they have
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: to break down. Everything has to be 14 layers in
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: because nobody knows how any of this nonsense works. Anyway,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: So it's number 19 is best multimedia site, podcast, videos, ellipses.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: We don't know. Hell, it could be anything because the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: internet's full of all kinds of crazy people. So we
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: are some of those crazy people. So go vote for
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: us and we'll win our own award, which the trophy's badass.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It's almost as cool as a boiler. Almost. All right.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Are we ready to get into the action?
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Now, this year, again, I'm upping the ante every year.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to make it more fun, more interactive for
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: all parties. So not only does everybody at home get
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: a chance to nominate people and get involved, but usually
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: it's me reading a lot of crap. So this year,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I thought I'd go completely awards ceremony style. We have envelopes.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: And you guys can read the winners. Oh, wow. How
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: excited are you?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I'm super excited.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I feel so privileged.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be like, La La Land.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Oops. Sorry, Moonlight. I tried not, it took a long
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: time to do these because I was trying not to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Moonlight any of them. I was trying not to mix
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: them up and be like, this doesn't even make sense.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Not that any of our categories make sense, but I
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: believe it's all right. I swear.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: Maybe. Possibly.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So with that, kicking things off is the most questionable
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: career decision made by an actor, actress, or filmmaker in 2019.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: These are the ones I like to throw out and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: just see the real.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: World come in.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Because usually you just get nothing but the finished product.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I think that's only half of what's going on every year.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: There's tons of behind the scenes real world stuff that
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: factors into all of this. So I like to hear
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: people's thoughts on these type of things. We were trying
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: not to get into this first nominee beforehand because I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: was like, just save it because we're going to go
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: into it. Because our first nominee for this is Tom
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Hooper for making Cats. I believe Tom Hooper is an
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Oscar-winning director, and he chose to make Cats. Like we're speechless.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: We're just speechless.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. This is what I don't understand,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: is people saw the trailer, and then they lost their mind,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: and were like, what the hell? This looks stupid. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, did no one see the play?
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: The play has been around for like what 30 years
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: or more like it's been like the biggest thing in
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the world on broadway guess what it's the same dumb
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: thing in the play because somehow i got i think
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: i was like so it was so long ago i
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: was young and ignorant and i just didn't even know
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: what the hell it was i just knew by the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: time it made it to our dumb city and it
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: was already like a huge thing on broadway and at
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: at that point i think i because i do legitimately
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: like phantoms i like Maybe I'd already seen Phantom. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right. My friend wanted to go. Like, sure,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: let's go see Cats. I sat there the whole time going,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: when's the story going to start? Yeah, we've been introducing
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: characters for like an hour now. When's the story going
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to start? That's it. That's it. There is no story.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: It legitimately is taken from a book that just runs
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: down a list of cats. And the play runs down
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a list of cats. And they all have a dumb song.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: And that's what the movie is, too. Guess what? In fact...
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: In the trailer, I was watching it going, it already
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: seems like they're trying to put a plot in there
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: that some sort of the end of the night you
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: get to be a cat and graduate up and be
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: a person or I don't know. It's some sort of
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: magical thing that gets worked in in the trailer. Thankfully,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched the movie yet, but I'm like, they're
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: already trying to do more than the play did. But
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: why did nobody get upset about the play being a
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: dumb concept? But they're going to lose their shit. Because
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: now we're dealing with dumb movie people. And somehow theater
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: people are more civilized and cultured. Is that what we're saying? Sadly,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: it's kind of true, probably.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: I don't even know. Like, I've seen Cats, like, the
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: play or musical, like, when I was, I don't want
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: to say, like, six.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Again, yeah. A long time ago for me.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I didn't, like. I didn't really understand like the purpose
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: of it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I knew that. I didn't either. Thank you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I knew that I was like, Oh,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: well it has songs and it's like very flashy and
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: people are dancing and it's just like this one junkyard set. Uh,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: you know, I guess like people just are impressed by
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: like the, you know, the makeup or I don't know
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: like what it is. Like they think it's like, Oh,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: people are just as cats. That's like, That's.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: What I think is so ridiculous. The thing that totally
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: won people over as a Broadway show is what killed
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it as a movie. People just raked it over the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: coals because of the creepy looking people CG'd into cats.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's all they went on about when
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: it was a big thing on Broadway is like, oh,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the makeup and the costumes.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: I think it was definitely a product of its time.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I think that it came out in the early 80s
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: when musical theater was... pretty straightforward.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: As far as... And that's the first, like, big budget. Like,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that was the Star Wars of Broadway, essentially. Like, it
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: became super mainstream. Regular people went and saw it. It
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: stayed there for, like, 20-some-odd years. Like, it just was
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a huge hit the way things hadn't been on Broadway before.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Have you guys seen Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Anyways, it's... Yes. Okay, cool.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: So they cover the topic of cats, the play. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: in the show.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: They make it so that the only way to get
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: cast on Cats is if you sneak onto the set
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: in your own made-up dumpster costume. And you just jump
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: in there and start doing your little song. And that
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: is the mythos of how Cats exists and continues to exist.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: It's just weird out there Cats fans trying to make it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: And I like that take on Cats.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: The purpose of it. You know, that kind of puts
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: things into perspective. Like, I feel like, oh, okay, if
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: that's how it was, like, made or conceived as a play, like,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: they just let whoever show up dressed in, like, dumpster
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: attire and just sing whatever. Like, yeah, oh, okay. Like,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: that's a neat concept. It reminded me a little bit of,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: have you guys seen that Merrily We Roll Along documentary
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: basically about Like, Stephen Sondheim and this, like, cast of, like,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: unknown musical theater people, like, in the early 80s made this, like,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: really bad musical, supposedly. I haven't seen it, but, like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: this musical that, like, totally, like, tanked, got terrible reviews, and, like,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: they just, like, fired everyone and, like, just tried to
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: forget about it as, like, a painful memory. And, like,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: the documentary was just interviewing everyone, like, now. Like, on
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: their experience of it. And I'm just thinking, like, so
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: what kept Cats? Like, how did Cats make it? And
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: this other musical, which they show segments of, which at
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: least it had, like, a plot and a story structure. Like, wow, okay,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: the Cats became, like, this great success. And this other thing...
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: was like totally sabotaged. My, like conspiracy theory, my brain, um, like,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: likes to think that maybe, like, I don't know, we're
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: like Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber, like, rivals. And, like,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: there was some kind of, like, behind the scenes, like, plot.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: He's like, he... He shan't make a play that's better
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: than my cat's musical.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I can see.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: And there was some kind of, I don't know. But anyway, yeah,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: I guess I don't have a good taste for what
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: is a good musical and what isn't.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I don't either.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I just don't understand.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so hit and miss in musicals in general. And
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: then I realized it started following a pattern. And this
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: is also why cats wouldn't work. Nobody dies there. not
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that i remember anyway but i mean most of mine
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: are you know you gotta kill people for me to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: care yeah like jesus christ superstar there's a big death
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: there a couple of them actually phantom he kills some
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: people i was like yeah i can get on board
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: with these and then even like little shop of horrors
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: i can get on board with uh uh what's the
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: barber shop the the Sweeney Todd. Sweeney Todd. There you go.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Murdering people. It all makes sense then. I understand those.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: That makes sense. As long as you kill people, I'm
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: okay with singing and dancing.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: What are the stakes? How is this rooted in any
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: kind of culture or time? I guess it takes place
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: in London in like an alley. But, you know, beyond that,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: like what is the significance of these cats singing about
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: their names and, you know, what their like thing is?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: I'm this cat and this is how I am. That's
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: the whole play of cats. I don't know.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: The only thing I'll give it, Memory is a good song.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I remember even hearing, that's the only thing I took
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: away from seeing it that first time. It was like,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: whoever they got to do that part nailed that and
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: hits that big note at the end. I'm like, whoa,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that was impressive. That's all I took away. I'm like,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: that song's good. Way to go, Andrew Lloyd Webber. You
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: wrote that good song. The rest of this bullshit, I
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't get it. So again, if you
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: give it to Jennifer Hudson, this should work, right? But
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: it couldn't save it, I suppose, because it's just not... Yeah. Anyway.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Next up. I figured we had to get a lot of...
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: There's a little more coming, though. I know there's a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: few people that have written in with smart-ass comments about cats,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: but for now, I thought we'd get our cats out
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: of the way, so The next nominee is for the most,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I can't even remind you, most questionable career decision, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: it totally fits this one. Liam Neeson's Cold Pursuit press tour. Yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: you really should have thought what you were saying. Through before,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I forgot, it was the very beginning of this year.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I forgot that was this year. And I was like, yeah,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: you really... you know there's microphones on man you can't
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: like i know that's not what you were trying to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: say but it doesn't matter like you're gonna ruin your
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: career so he he might pull out of it i
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: don't know but yeah liam get it together.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Man yeah i actually did end up seeing that movie oh.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: The movie i don't i don't have any problem with
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the movie it's it's like escalated beyond oh yeah like
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a joke commentary on his movies like
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: everything he's made from the time he became an action
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: star as an old man It's making fun of those, essentially.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: There's a running body count that pops up on screen.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: It's making fun of that, but just subtle enough that
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of people don't really... A
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: lot of your regular old film goers are just like,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I like that part where he killed that dude, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a commentary on it, I hate to
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: tell you.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Well, it's like a shot-for-shot remake of a Swedish movie with.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I think, still in Star's Guard. I looked up clips
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: of it on YouTube. It's the same director, just reshot
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: his own movie.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Which is always a weird move.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Shot for shot, same script, but just with Liam Neeson
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: as the main role, which was interesting. But yeah, it
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: is an interesting... Liam Neeson, he's got some pretty good...
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: He can deliver some Schwarzenegger-level silly one-liners.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: And can also be a really good actor. It's so
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: weird that he knowingly moved into that category. After he
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: was a really well-respected actor, he decided, I'm really old now.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: What do I want to do? Be an action star.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: It's strange that he waited that long into his career
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: to do it. And then coming off of a pretty
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: high caliber, legitimately well-respected acting career and just, eh, whatever.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I know he was going through some mental stuff at
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: that point too, but.
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: Whatever.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: All right, next up. And I thought this, I don't
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: know where I land on it now, but the first
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: time I walked out of the theater and the coming
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: soon posters were up there and I looked up and
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: saw who was starring in the new Dr. Doolittle. I went, wait, what?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, granted coming out of Endgame. I was like, okay,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Robert Downey Jr., You're now one of the biggest names
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: in the world. I mean, you used to be. You
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: kind of fell off. And because of this franchise, you've
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: totally put yourself back on top. You're out of it now.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do with your Dr. Doolittle?
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So then I saw the trailer. The trailer at least
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: looked interesting because it didn't look like it was doing.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: That was my main thing was like, don't follow in
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the footsteps of Eddie Murphy.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: His career up until recently was not something you wanted
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: to mimic. It took a big nosedive in the middle there, too. But, yeah,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the trailer on this one looked like Jules Verne presents Dr.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Dolittle and throw in some talking animals. So I'm like,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: all right, it at least looks interesting. But, yeah, I
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know where it will end. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: feel like it didn't take in a ton of money.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's going to be the
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: huge ongoing franchise that they may be expected, but... think
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: it's safe to assume probably questionable choice but you know
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: whatever all right and the again the way i set
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: it up because normally you'll do five and then we'll
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: you'll rehash one of them when you talk about the
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: winner i just skip that we just go with four
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: and then the fifth win is the winner so this
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: is the last of the non-winning nominees and interesting i
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: as i saw the movie i thought the same thing
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Questionable decision, the entire cast, especially Bill Murray of Dead
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Don't Die, for participating in Jim Jarmusch's ridiculous vision. Did
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: anyone see?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I kind of want to. You know, I heard a
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: lot of people didn't like it, but I have a
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: hard time believing that Jim Jarmusch can make a legitimately
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: bad movie.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And it's not, and that's the thing. I think, knowing you,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you will enjoy it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: I think I will.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Here's the difference.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I like Patterson, and I don't think anyone
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: likes Patterson.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Here's the difference. It's like, and this is what I
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: said as soon as I got out, because I'm sitting there,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and I went, like, opening weekend, and I'm sitting there
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: with six or eight other people in the theater, and, like,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: you could tell the people that were Jarmusch fans. And
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I'm like, if you like zombie movies, this is going
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to frustrate the hell out of you, and you're just
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: going to be pissed off, and you're going to be like,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: this is stupid. If you're a Jim Jarmusch fan, you'll
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: be like, huh, this is amusing. This is your response
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: to all Jim Jarmusch movies. You're just like, huh, that's interesting.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what he does. He makes weird arthouse
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: movies for weird people that like those kind of movies.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: He just occasionally crosses over and is like, now I'm
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: also going to make a Western. Now I'm going to
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: make a zombie movie.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I'm waiting for his werewolf movie.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: He's made a vampire movie. Vampire movie.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Ghost Dog isn't about ghosts technically, but I guess you
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: could qualify that.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: It's in the title. So yeah, that was, that was
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: my takeaway. I was just like, yeah, Jarmusch fans are
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: going to enjoy this because it's, it's his weird sense
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: of humor. He's such a big name. Now everybody wants
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: to work with him. So that cast is amazing, but
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: they're all like the, the other quote we had coming
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: in was very short to the point, most boring film ever. Again,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: this is Jarmusch for most people, like not even this movie.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Most people would be bored by a lot of Jarmusch's work.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: You have to be into his style or you're just not.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: There's not much middle ground on Jim Jarmusch.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: So that's legit. I understand. All right. Would you like to...
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Who wants the.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: I'll open it. Okay. The winner is... Of most questionable
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: career decision made by an actor slash actress slash filmmaker
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: in 2019 is....
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's La La Land.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: John Travolta for making The Fanatic.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Oh my god. Have you guys seen this movie?
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: This was one I was unaware of, and if you're
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: listening along on the episodes... That is.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: A whole separate episode itself right there, this movie.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: It came up on one earlier in the year, and
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: one of the guests was sitting here and was like,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: have you seen The Fanatic? And I'm like, what the
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: hell are you talking about? And started describing. I was like,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: first off just the premise is that a good idea
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: specifically for john travolta to be playing that character and
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: then i found out who the director was and i
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: was like and i was like uh So, Fred Durst,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. If you'd like
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: to come pick up your foiler. I mean, technically it's John's,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: but I don't know if he leaves the house. I
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: don't know what the rules are if it's crazy. Yeah,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: you know, religion. Anyway.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: In this movie, there's a scene where a guy and
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: his son are driving in a car and Limp Bizkit
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: plays on the radio. And the guy goes to his son, hey,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: so you like Limp Bizkit? And turns it off.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: And like, it's just, the scene just plays out as
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: they're just like listening to a Limp Bizkit song in
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: the car, like just jamming. It's, I couldn't believe.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Again, keep in mind, the man who created Limp Bizkit
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: is behind the camera directing this scene right now. Think
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Assault on your eyes and your ears.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: I just, and John Travolta's character. Oh my God. Like
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: who agreed that it was like a good idea to like,
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: play i guess you could say like a person who
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: with like mental disabilities like in that way that's like
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: not been okay for like 20 years like in movies.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: And it's they're trying to tie it because then they're
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: saying they're trying to pin down like sort of what
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: it is that he's suffering from but i'm like it
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter this is not gonna go.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Well for you john they didn't i think they didn't
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: really think that hard about it i think just he's
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: just like just be a weird guy and like also
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: just find a way to make it just, just feel
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: very offensive. And like every senior, like.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: As I typed this in earlier, as I was making
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: up the list, it popped up on Google. And the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: very first article that popped up is titled critics, savage,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: John Travolta's career, rock bottom, the fanatic. I'm like, yeah, that,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I guess we're not the only ones on this one, John,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: you've not made a few friends on this process. So,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Of the others, again, I'll occasionally throw out some other
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: interesting comments along the way. Other potential nominees that didn't
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: get any extra votes, but I thought were interesting. Kathleen
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Kennedy for the lack of creative vision for the Star
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Wars sequels. I was like, yeah, that's a shot that
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: she probably earned. Specifically just on this last one. The
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: other one kind of goes into the.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: It is weird. These are getting bigger and bigger and
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: they mostly call out like Chrissy Metz for being a
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: pretty big celebrity and yet doing this sort of Christian
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: propaganda film. It is a breakthrough that again could just
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: be telling the story of this. It's based on a
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: true story, but it works in a whole lot of weird,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: crazy God nonsense. So I don't know. I mean, everybody
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: brings their own weird step to the table, but yeah,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: that one I was like, that's a, Those are getting way,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, Christian film used to just be this tiny
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: little pocket and like it was massively low budget and
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: no actors. And in the last six or eight years,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: it like continues to get bigger budgets and bring in
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: legitimately recognizable names. And it's very strange when they're crossing
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: over into mainstream film now. So I don't know. I
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do with it. All right. Are
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: we ready for the next category? The most shocking moment
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: In a 2019 film. And as we get into these, again,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: what I realized is, because it happens to me too,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: some of them I haven't seen. And I'm like, oh,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: this sounds really cool. I want to go see this.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: So with the ones that I think maybe need some spoiler,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I'll try to skate around it the way that I'll
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: praise these nominees and winners sometimes. So just a few,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I'll try to. But some of the bigger ones, I mean,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I would assume everybody by now has seen them. I
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: have not seen our first entry here, which is Ad Astra.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: But now I need to, now that I know the
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: number one is Maniac Baboon in Ad Astra.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: What?
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Well, now I have to see this movie.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Because as you know, baboons are dangerous.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: I saw Ad Astra. I would not say that's the
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: most shocking moment in film in 2019. I mean... I'm
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: not going to spoil anything, but the context is that
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: they're going to explore something that is maybe abandoned or
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: something happened, and then something happens. It's like you knew
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: something was going to happen, like some kind of shock
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: value moment.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: That's what you say. That's what I say. But our
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: nominee-er says, I had already fallen in love with the movie,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: then Facey the Monkey showed up, and I knew Ad
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Astra loved me back. So you can't, you know, you
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: can't argue with that. Now I obviously need to see this.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Brad Pitt and a Fadey CD monkey?
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Sold.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Next up, and I figured we would get to this
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: movie quite a bit. I'm surprised by some of the
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: entries along the way. Midsommar. For many different versions. Again,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: I'll keep them all very.
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: Light.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: There's something involving a cliff? There's something involving a face.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: And there's a, we'll say, love scene that happens somewhere
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: in the middle of this movie. All those things happen,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: all of which got mentioned in the nominees. All of
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: those things. People were like, wait, what the hell am
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I watching? Along those not-so-specific lines, something irrelevant happens to
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: John Travolta in The Fanatic. So... That's our next nominee. Oh, yeah.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: See?
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm like, I figure for people who do
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: know all of these, they're going to go.
• 35:37
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, here's the thing, though. By the time that
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: part happens in the movie, the movie already has just
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: kind of blown your mind with just how insane, just
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: like you're like, how does this exist? So when that comes,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: you're just like, of course. So that's why I had
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: to think for a second.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: You're like, which insane part of this awful movie did
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: that happen? This one, the next nominee, our final nominee
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I could get on board with. Shocking in the best
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: possible way. And this one came in close. This one
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: was almost the winner. We had a lot of people
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: that were pretty shocked and excited. As Captain America gets
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: to use Thor's hammer. That one I was like, yeah.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Here's our quote. I love that that was one of
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the best little throwaway scenes from Age of Ultron. And
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: it paid off at that moment. He really was worthy,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: damn it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: End quote.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: That's the way I read it. You have to read
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: into the.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, some other entries. We had Uncut Gems.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: That would be mine.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: That was the one I put on there. That was
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: their wording on it.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: I literally gasped when the ending of that. I was like, whoa.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Did not see that coming.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: But, none of them are the winners. So, that you liked.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Most shocking moment in a 2019 film what could it
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: be i agree with it and the winner is the
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: third act of once upon a time in hollywood.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: The okay it was worded a lot of different ways
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: mostly just it gets very violent i know you're shocked
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a quentin tarantino movie has violence in it but um
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: yeah i i In many ways, I think the violent
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: aspect caught people off guard and the time-altering, history-changing aspects.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: I can imagine that would have been shocking because I
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: kind of vaguely knew it was coming just based on
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: reading opening stuff about it. I could get a sense
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: of where he was taking it in the context of
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: how he did the history revising with Bastards before.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know it was coming, but then I
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: got there at that moment and went, oh, okay, he's
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: inglorious bastards. I mean, he's just doing this again. Okay,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it in either case.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: But yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: It was definitely, yeah, I mean, it was very over
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: the top to be sure.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: But again, I think, and that's the way I heard it,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: which I guess if you heard this beforehand, you would
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: kind of see it coming maybe because people were kind
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: of questioning as he went into this time period and
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: specifically the Manson family topic, they were like, Because I
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: was almost dreading the end of the movie, knowing how
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: things turn out and knowing how much I like these
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: characters that we've spent time with along the way. So
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I was pleased when it takes that turn. But I
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: think people ask, they're like, oh, so are you going
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: to do the murder? And the way they've... I don't
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: even think it was him, but the way everyone talking
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: about it phrased it was he loves Hollywood too much
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: to do that, to relive it, to make that the
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: big finale in his movie. So... This is a movie
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: that proves like what a weird old school Hollywood fan
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: he is so much so that he will revise history
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: just to have a better tale in Hollywood. All right.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Next up, the most miscast actor or actress for a
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: role in a 2019 film. Again, I love the way
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: they phrase them as they send them in. Terminator Dark Fate,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: that lead actress whose name escapes me, which says a
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: lot about her as a leading character. lady. But no
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: one remembers who she is. It's Natalia Rees.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: I believe.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: If that's wrong, I'm sorry. Because I think she's actually
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: pretty good in it.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: But.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a weird movie anyway. I enjoyed it
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: more than most people, I think. Because... Nobody's liked any
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: of these Terminator sequels. And I just keep having fun
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: with everything that's not that weird Christian Bale thing. I
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: still haven't messed with that one. But these last two,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: I'm like, who cares? They're fun. Do I think they
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: live up to the old ones?
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: No.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: But why do you keep revisiting this same dumb time
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: period and branching off? I mean, hell, the universe would
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: have collapsed upon itself now if you kept going back
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: in time to this same little 20 to 50 year
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: span of time and We would all be dead. So, yeah,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: who cares? Don't think about it too much. Just look
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: for dumb explosions and robots. It'll be fine.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, someone I read posted on Twitter that, like, They
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: said that the Terminator franchise is really interesting. There's Terminator 1,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Terminator 2, and like 17 attempts at Terminator 3.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: And a bunch of other ones. That's the thing. Like,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: nobody even acknowledges that one before last happened. Like, not
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: only in this plot, but it's like everybody forgot that one.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's been like four or five.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: It's five.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: It's, yeah. It's five now.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: No, six.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: Jesus.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Because there's one, two, and three, then the weird Christian
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Bale one, and then two since then. So there's six
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Terminator movies.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you'd look that one up.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: It's out of control. I had fun with both of
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: these last two. I don't know. All right. Next up
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: in the most miscast actor would be David Harbour in Hellboy.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing. I thought he was actually a good Hellboy.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: The movie is not good.
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Which is weird. Again, it's coming from a good filmmaker.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: It's like they've got a budget to back up all
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: these effects. The effects are even easier to do than
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: when Guillermo was doing it. It seems like that should
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: have all worked, and yet none of it seemed to.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the difference is.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Again, it's not a good movie, but there's an integrity
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: to it. Once you lock your brain into, okay, this
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: is definitely going to be a very dumb movie, But, like,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: if I can just kind of, like, go with this, like, vibe,
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: it'll be, like, a good time. Like, it was one
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: of those.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Which I'm fine with on occasion.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Or all the time. I'm not going to lie.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: It was insanely, like, it was, like, violent to the
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: level of, like, I was like, holy shit. Like, I
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: didn't know that, like, I didn't read the comics. I
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: was like, I had no idea that they were going
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: to ramp it up this much. Just, like, going off
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: of the Del Toro movies. Like, it was totally, like,
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: they went in the other direction.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what's weird, is because the del Toro I
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: don't think of as, like, dumb fun. Shut your brain off. Like,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: they're pretty well written, and they have their silly moments, but,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's still decent character development for these three
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: main characters. So, yeah, I don't know. It's a weird
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: reason that it didn't come together. It's the cats of
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Hellboy movies. It's just, here's all the pieces. You figure
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: out why it didn't work. I don't know. Next up,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I like this. It's not even a specific film. Most
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: miscast actor, Adam Driver as a leading man.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: I disagree.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Adam Driver is an amazing actor.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I just watched Marriage Story and there was moments I
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: was like, holy. like he is amazing.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: That's a weird that's a weird like criticism of marriage
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: story because like even if you're not into like the
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: drama like the drama of it or the seriousness like
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: you can't say that adam driver's bad in it like.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: I think they just don't like the way he looks
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: and so he looks weird as a leading man.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah i think it's maybe unconventional he does have an
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: unconventional look i guess but i mean whatever like That's
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: how people look.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Their comment wasn't even specific to any movie.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: It's just, I know I'll get a lot of pushback,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: but I still don't get Adam Driver's assent to leading
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: man in so many interesting projects. Well, you're getting your
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: pushback from me. See, I think he's a really good actor.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Even in stuff like Black Klansman, he's sort of a
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: side character. He's sort of the second lead, but his
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: weird little going through kind of a similar... lesser but
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: similar version of what our lead's going through like he
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: just plays it like understated and really solid so yeah
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: i don't i don't get that but you know this
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: is what we get i like hearing everyone's opinion they
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: didn't win so don't worry about it uh next up
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: this is another one that i don't fully get uh
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: most miscast actor at mark strong in shazam i was
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: like i I can't imagine him playing anything else. He's
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: played that character every role he's been in for years.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: For a second, I thought you meant Kazam with Shaquille O'Neal.
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: Wait, what?
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Did they remake Kazam?
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you can get the funding going, Shaq's
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: probably up for it. He's going to be the only
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: thing coming back. You don't want to miss that magic.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: So the other thing was another nominee that came in
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: was also Zachary Levi. It's miscast. Who is Shazam? So, like,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: maybe that's why this didn't work so well, because neither
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: feels exactly right. But, actually, the Mark Strong I don't get, because, like,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: that's the only thing he's played just about. Like, he's
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: that guy in almost every movie. At least these last, like,
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: 15 years, like, ever since he moved into being the
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: villain in every, like, semi-big-budget movie, they just keep plugging
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: him back in. It's like, hmm, we need a creepy
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: villain guy. Hey, Mark Strong! Like, it didn't surprise me
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: at all. But this one... Again, I'm not surprised by
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: people voting for this, but I don't know where I
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: land on it. I don't know that I disagree, but... Alright,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: what's our category?
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Category is Most Miscast Actor Slush Actress for Their Role
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: in a 2019 Film. And the winner is Will Smith
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: as the Genie in Aladdin. Congrats, Will Smith.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like people just didn't want that to be remade.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know that, I mean, I still haven't watched it,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: but I mean, like, did Will Smith do a bad job?
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Does Will Smith ever, like, phone it in? Alright, Gemini Man, maybe. But,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: for the most part, like, he still turns in pretty
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: good performances, even in lesser movies, so I don't know
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: that he's the problem.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Again, I think that that's, like, no one, you couldn't
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: have casted anybody in that role and people would like it.
• 46:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Like, that's, that role was untouchable.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Especially who it came from, you know?
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: You're leaving Robin Williams, who... Number one, everybody loved, period.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: And now that he's gone, there's this extra layer of,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I miss Raleigh Williams so much. There's
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: so much weight that it brings to this role now
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: that no matter who you give it to.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised that my entry didn't make it into the
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: top five. Mine was Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio. I thought
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: that he was... He's just too likable of a guy
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: for me to really believe as this super squirmy guy. Yeah.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: There was something about it that I was just like,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: it wasn't believable to me. I had a hard time
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: buying into him as Mysterio.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Was it any better than his performance in Oakjaw? Remember
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: him in that movie? Wait, which one? He was like
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: the scientist guy. He's basically like, played it like a
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: Saturday morning cartoon character, which I kind of love. He was,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: I guess, the guy who was the host of a
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: safari TV show. And he's like, this is a whole movie.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: It was just ridiculous. I was like, whoa, he's really
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: going for that. But yeah, I was just wondering, maybe
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: he's being typecast as a silly science person.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: No, I don't know.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: That was just weird the way they played that. anyway
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: i think even at the time we discussed it it's
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: like it's it's a hard villain to sort of put
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: your finger on anyway because it's using such weird visual
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: illusion kind of things but they found a decent way
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: to spend that tech on it yeah but then at
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: the same time they're pulling in a super likable actor
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: and then he's gonna play that switcheroo of gee is
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: he really a good guy in this version wait we
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: all know he's not so why are we dragging this
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: out for 20 30 minutes into the movie like It's
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: a weird way that they play that out. So I
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: think that's part of it, too.
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: All right. Next up, the most impressive visuals, CG, practical
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: or whatever, in a 2019 film. All right. We have
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: the return of that Astra. Again, the way that this
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: comes from the fans, not me. Quote is, movie was trash,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: pretty good miniatures. Was it the same.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: Person who wrote in the baboon thing?
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Not the same person.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: I love the baboon.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Our baboon fans probably annoyed at this guy because he
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: did not think it was trash. He loved that movie. So, yep.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Good miniatures is what I've been told by this person.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Next up, scary stories to tell in the dark. Almost
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: everything in that film was practical effects. That's bonkers, is
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: our quote. I wish it was a better movie, but
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: I did think the.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Effects were cool.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the thing. It visually found a
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: way to represent a lot of the cool stuff in
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: the stories, and then maybe they were too focused on
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: that and like didn't really nail the rest of it
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: but next up for impressive visual effects and I agree
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: on this one Godzilla King of the Monsters the quote
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: is terrible movie awesome visuals I feel like it's way
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: better than that other Godzilla I didn't remember hating it
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: like we did an episode and I tried to defend
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: that first Godzilla from a couple of.
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: Years ago that they did I like it just fine
• 49:39
  Speaker 9: and well i went back what are you expecting from
• 49:42
  Speaker 9: it i went well i went back to re-watch it
• 49:44
  Speaker 9: because i think i bought a copy of it but
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: like yeah i haven't seen this i want to watch
• 49:48
  Speaker 9: it again i.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Found it for cheap i'm like let's watch it i'm
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: like when does the fighting happen like there's just too
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: much talking in that first one and i think they
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: at least corrected going into this next one like this
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: latest one is a lot of fighting and a lot
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: of monsters and that came through for Here's the thing.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: My idea of a giant monsters fighting each other movie
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: is I would love to actually see the monsters fighting.
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: I just saw the first, not this recent Godzilla movie,
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: but the one before it. And I was just like, man,
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: it's really tough to like... You can only see his legs,
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: or he's obscured by clouds. It's like you never really
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: see him.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: They dragged that out for two-thirds of the movie or more.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: It's for budgetary reasons. They can't have Ali Shamar's in
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: broad daylight and put all that detail and shit.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I think he was almost being artsy about it. Like,
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: he's doing the jaws. I'm not going to show the shark,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: which again was budgetary reasons in the real world. But, like,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to show the shark until the end
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: of the movie. And that makes it a big reveal.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: But we all know what Godzilla is. They're not keeping
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: it on the down low for the first half of
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: the movie. Like, we know what he is. Just get
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: Just show us our end. Well, that's why I actually
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: like the dumb King Kong movie that came out.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, Skull Island is so entertaining. Oh, it's so dumb.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: It was so fun to watch. It's so fun. Well,
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: you could see, like, it was all there. The action
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: and the effects were just very clear, like, in front
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: of you. And, yeah, it just knew what kind of
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: movie it was. It wasn't trying to be, like, a serious, like,
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: human nuance drama. You know, like, come on.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Which is maybe what they keep trying to do with
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: these Godzilla movies. Like, that whole intro with Dad and
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: then following the soldier boy. I'm like, I don't care about,
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: no offense to that kid, but, like, he just, I
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: don't care. Get to fighting monsters. And even this one,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: there's a little too much. What's her face from Stranger Things?
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: And all the other crap. I'm just like, just make
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: them fight. And then eventually they do. And I'm like,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: all right, I at least like this movie. It's entertaining.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. They're still trying too hard.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Just let monsters fight. That's all we want. So next up,
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: impressive visuals. I definitely agree. Midsommar.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be my pick because... I guess this
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: isn't specifically CGI.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's whatever.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: Just the art direction in general and the color palette.
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: It's just like its own special effects.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: There are weird effects going on.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: I thought that I mean, because I've done shrooms plenty
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: of times, and that is the most accurate thing that
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: I've seen.
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: It was very understated, but very accurate. Like, you had to, like,
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: kind of look to notice it.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: It was weird. Because so many other films have tried, and, like,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: they always, like, make swirly colors and hallucinations. Like, you
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: don't hallucinate like that. Like, that's not what a hallucination is. Like, stop.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: It's just, like, a little bit wiggly. Like, things are just, like,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: a little distorted. And even into the acting, which is, again,
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: not the visuals, but... how she's reacting to things is
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: much more realistic where she's not like out.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Of her mind, but she's just like.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Kind of like just misinterpreting things in the same kind
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: of way that you would if you were tripping.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: Well, those kinds of mushrooms are exactly what I was
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: using in these hors d'oeuvres. So just so you know,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: it's going to kick in any minute.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm feeling. It's not the wisdom tooth meds.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: But the, uh, the, yeah, they specifically mentioned, uh, for
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: what we have two quotes. One is so pretty. So gross. Yeah.
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: Accurate.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Both counts. And the other one, I do remember this
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: moment and I'm like, good, good call. Good specific pull.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Flowers breathing. And I'm like, yeah, this is the kind
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: of weird shit that wins you some impressive.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Did, uh, did you guys catch the face in the
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: trees during that one scene?
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Of like her sister. And you can see like the
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: tube coming out. It's, I didn't see that until the
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: second time I saw it. I was like, holy shit.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Like, They put a lot of work into that.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they really did.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: But, not the winner. Are we ready for the winners?
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: Alright, so, most impressive visuals.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: CG, practical, whatever.
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: CG, practical, whatever.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: These are very CG, is the winner, by the way.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: Avengers Endgame.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: You can't really fight the volume you're dealing with on
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: I would say that kind of falls in the tradition
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: of most versus best.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is usually how the Oscars go. That's how
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: sound design is. How loud was this movie?
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: You win.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Best visual effects is usually how much visual effects? All
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: of them good. You're the winner. So yeah, that may
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: be why. But this one, again, the only specific quote
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: I got was one that you don't necessarily think of.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: You're probably thinking of the big in-battle scene. They specifically
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: brought up Tony Stark's emaciated state at the beginning of
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Avengers Endgame. The effects department did a great job of
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: selling that he hadn't had a sandwich in a distressing
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: amount of time. And it's a nice bookend to the
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: effects of the pre-Super Soldier serum Steve Rogers in the
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: first Captain America film. I'm like, nice. That's a good pull.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Get it.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: So, Avengers Endgame. Now, to slingshot back the other direction,
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: most obnoxious use of CG or other effects. Again, I
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: open it up to, if you're using practical wrong, hey,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: that's your fault too. So, the most obnoxious use of
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: CG or other effects in a 2019 film.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: I know what's coming in this one.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: I was glad somebody put it in so I could
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: have a minor rant about it. The first nominee is
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: The Lion King. Because I've avoided it anyway. I didn't
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: even like it the first time around, truthfully. The only
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: part I liked is Scar. His crazy song is awesome
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: and creepy. So yeah, Scar is really a good performance.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Other than that, I don't care. I don't care about
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: most of it. And I know most kids did at
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: that point. Whatever. That aside, I was like, if you
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: liked the old one, you should be so pissed off
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: at this one. Because... The only thing they did, it's almost,
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've added a few extra songs or some
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: other stuff, but it's like pretty much beat for beat
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: the same story. And yet took all the impressive visuals
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: and character out of our characters. Like now they're sort
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: of photorealistic. I'm using air quotes that you guys can hear.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: But in doing that, you've taken away all the expression. Again, like,
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: the creepy way that Scar, like, looks and moves and, like,
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: everything he does is awesome because it's done in animation.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: In old school, hand-drawn, real animation. And even if you're
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: a computer maneuvering that around a little bit, that's fine,
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: but it's still, like, expressive. It's using artist style to
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: create the whole look of this little universe that we're in.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: When you go photorealistic, you just stripped away all the character,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: and that's so annoying. Like, that nobody... Nobody seemed like
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: they were calling anybody out for that. It still made
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: a bundle of money, and I'm sure we'll just continue
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: to get more and more dumb versions of already good
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Disney movies, but I don't know. That one more than most.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: I don't mind if you do something interesting with it
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: and change it up a little bit, but that one
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: just taking the most interesting thing out of it, which
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: was the artistic style, and then just making it dumb,
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: regular looking animals. Just go watch a nature documentary. They
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: make They make a bunch of those, too.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: David Attenborough's Lion King.
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: Oh, man.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: I would watch that.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: I would watch that.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: If he narrates it.
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: Totally.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: He's the best. All right. Next up, for the most
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: obnoxious use of CGI and or other effects. This one,
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing, is CGI. The vehicle chain in Hobbs and Shaw,
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: where the helicopter lifts several cars and trucks off the ground.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure how physics work. But no matter how
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: ripped Dwayne Johnson is, there's no way that stunt of
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: him holding the chain together at one point wouldn't have
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: ripped his manly, manly arms out of his manly, manly sockets.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: If you're looking to the Fast and Furious movies for
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: a lesson in physics, you should look elsewhere. That's all
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: I'll say.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: But if you just want to see manly, manly arms,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Dwayne can hook you up.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Next up, previously mentioned, Hellboy. I was kind of excited
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: to see a Neil Marshall-led version of this character. Too
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: bad the film failed on so many levels, including the visuals. So,
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: there you go. This one got a lot of nominees.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised it didn't. Well, no, I'm not surprised once
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: we get to the winner. But we got a lot of...
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: This one, they phrased it as all of Alita Battle Angel.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Which I've surprisingly heard like a new, like when it
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: came out, nobody seemed to like it. And then like
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: as it hit DVD or streaming or whatever, like I
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: started getting all these people going, you know what, that
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: was actually pretty good. Like, so I've heard this weird
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: undercurrent lately of people that actually appreciate what they're doing.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: there i'm still kind of overwhelmed just from the trailer
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: of the cg so i i i'm gonna get to
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: it eventually but that wasn't selling me but all right
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: are we ready for.
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: The winner.
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: Category is most obnoxious use of CGI or other effects
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: in a 2019 film.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: I wonder.
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: And the winner is cats. Because of course it is.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Our quote is, again, the obvious answer would be Cats.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Without the weird CGI choices, it actually would have not
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: been entertaining at all. But I can't really think of
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: anything else that stands out from the movies I watched
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: in 2019. So I guess it's Cats, with its weird
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: human hands and feet that slightly hover above the ground.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: The disturbing ears that twitched and were far too forward
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: on their heads. That one that unzipped his one cat
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: skin to reveal another poorly created CGI dress underneath. The
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: terrifying mice and cockroaches. And, of course, the cat's piece
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: de resistance, Itraselba, looking way too naked, like they even
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: gave him abs with fur, but without any genitals. Kindle Itraselba,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: an image that will never leave my brain. I feel
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: like that says it all. I don't know.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: I wonder if furries were really into cats.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: America as a whole was creeped out by cats.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: It was too uncanny. I feel like they would have
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: to look like cartoon.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: Cats.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing. They crossed that. That was
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: the difference, I think. The old play still looked like
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: people in makeup. And you processed it as, oh, that's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: a good makeup job on that person dancing around in
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: front of me. It's a real world thing. It's real.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: You hit the CG aspect and it's like Uncanny Valley
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: kicks in and you're like, well, well, well, well, well,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: Idris Elba looks too much like Idris Elba and he's hot,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: except now he's a cat and he's got fur and
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: where's his genitals? And this is weird. It's yeah, it
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: is the same Uncanny Valley that we get with normal
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: super CG characters, but these are, it's too human mixed
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: with too much CG mixed with too much cat. It's
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: too much. Our brains just can't handle it. cats i
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: do like there was also a write-in vote for uh
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: the original sonic the hedgehog trailer because people were so
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: creeped out by it oh god that's funny oh lord
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: all right next up the best kill slash death in
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: a 2019 film i didn't even bother breaking it up
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: in the past i kept trying to like reword it
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: so people would stop picking like the most sad death
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: scene of my most beloved i'm like all right if
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: you want to vote for that i'll just maybe be
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: like the most awesome death and then maybe you won't
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: pick like iron man because people still voted for that
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: i'm like that's not what we're talking about like jason
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: smacking somebody in a in a sleeping bag up against
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: a tree that's an awesome death that's a movie kill
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: that's what we're here for all right that having been
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: said for future reference first up ready or not Has
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: anybody seen Ready or Not? I know one of our
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: other cast members wrote me recently and was like, oh
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: my god, that was their main thing, just voting for
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: that the whole time. This didn't even come from them,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: but we got other write-ins that were specifically the final scene.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: A lesser film would have backed down. A lesser film
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: would have had absolutely nothing happen when we get to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: the end of this little timeline. Or maybe they've settled
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: with some sort of boring death, but that is not
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: what happens in Ready or Not. Ready or Not is
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: like an awesome premise, and then they just kind of
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: dial it up to 11 as the action continues on,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: and the story widens out and becomes more crazy and ridiculous.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Ready or Not's awesome, is what I'm saying. So I
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: won't ruin anything that happens in the finale, but yeah,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: stick around for the finale. Next up for Most Awesome Death...
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: they just wrote cold pursuit i'm guessing they mean all
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: of them because it's just a movie full of death
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: scenes so cold pursuit this one we have a nice
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: extended description if you haven't seen this i don't even
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: know that this counts as a spoiler it's just a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: description of a lot of craziness that's about to happen
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: if you liked the new child's play Where Chucky kills
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Karen's boyfriend by wrapping him up in Christmas lights, he's
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: trying to recover from the house and then making a
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: lawnmower run over him, which scalps him. His hair flies
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: across the backyard, which for some reason is a giant
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: watermelon patch, and the hair lands on top of, like,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: it's on a wig on one of them. It's summer,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: so he's just now taking down the Christmas lights? Are
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: these wintermelons? Who knows? But blood spurts on the watermelons,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: of course. And then, to make it even look more ridiculous,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Chucky skins him and somehow carries a watermelon and his face, skin,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: and hair across town unseen so he can leave it
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: dressed up watermelon style on Andy's dresser with a bow. Wow.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a pretty epic little murder scene we
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: just got there, so I can't argue with that. Next up,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Best death or kill. And again, it's a quick one,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: but I agree. Thanos' first death in Endgame. It's kind
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: of what we were waiting for. It's kind of what
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: we needed after a year of waiting. We're like, for
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: the love of God, just kill that bastard. And right
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: off the bat, they did.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: And now the winner. All right.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: So, best kill slash death in film 2019. Dealing with
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: the family at the end of Once Upon a Time
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: in Hollywood.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: Most write-ins specifically mention a certain flamethrower. There are a
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: lot of the Brad Pitt's treatment of them in the house.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of that as well. Personally, I feel
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: like there needs to be a special award for Brandy,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: the breakout star.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: Of the film.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, the dog makes the movie, if you ask me.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: That is the real, like.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: Dog was pretty cool.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the real star of this film, if you
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: ask me. But yeah, they specifically wrote in, like, one
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: of the most satisfying endings to a movie I've seen
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: in a good long while. Like, yep, if that's what
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: you're looking for, this movie will deliver. Other people might
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: be caught off guard by them. It's quite an ending.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Next up, best villain in a 2019 film. I do like,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: we haven't gotten to a ton of Joker so far.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: I do like most of what goes on in Joker.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: I don't care, whatever. That's a different discussion. But the
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: fact that Thomas Wayne is a complete and utter jackass.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: The person who we've built up as this reason that
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Batman grows up to be. His death is so tragic
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: that it creates this wonderful superhero. But in this version,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Thomas Wayne is a jackass. So I appreciated that. That
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: was kind of fun. So Thomas Wayne is our best
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: villain entry here. I also like this phrasing. Whoever the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: villain was in The Lighthouse, Willem Dafoe, at least one
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: person voted specifically for Willem Dafoe. Over here I get
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: Robert Pattinson question mark. It's like nobody knows what to
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: do with The Lighthouse. They're like, there's a villain somewhere.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The light is the enemy. The light,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: the lighthouse, the, I don't know, flatulence, I don't know, whatever.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: Next up, I surprisingly got a good amount of votes.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Octavia Spencer in Ma. She is pretty damn good in that,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: I gotta say. Did I vote for her for that?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: I think I did. I expected a little less in
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: this type of movie. I expected it to be a
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: little schlockier and like, she gives a pretty good performance
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: and you can kind of see her, like it starts
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: so early on and we see this, like getting a
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: little crazier as the years go on and like the
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: weird life that she structures. But if you just break
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: through that normal side, yeah, you cross over into full
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: on crazy. So yeah, Octavia Spencer. Very good. This one,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely going to omit because, We'll just say, and
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: if you've seen the movie, you know who I'm talking about.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: So this makes more sense. Someone in Knives Out. There's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. And one in particular is probably
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: more villainy than the others. So they're all kind of jerks.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: That's how the Knives Out works. But there is a
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: specific performance that they single out as getting better with
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: future viewings. The more you go back and watch this person,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: the more impressive that it gets. They also... This, I think,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: is the most important part. They say, please tell me
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: if you hear anything about the release date of the
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Knives Out sweater collection. Which is pretty... Go back and
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: watch it. There's some sweaters. And this particular person we're
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: talking about has a very impressive sweater action going on. So,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: Knives Out sweater collection coming your way next winter. Alright, but.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: All right, category is Best Villain in a 2019 Film.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: And the winner is Thanos in Avengers Endgame.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: You can't fight it. I mean, to me, it's very different.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's probably more fitting this year than
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: last year. Because this year, he was back to being
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: a full-on villain. This year, we catch him at an
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: earlier point in time. and he's back to being a
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: jackass and he's back to just being an old school
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: disney villain like he really is it's last year when
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: he was getting all the acclaim that i'm just like
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: he's not your normal villain in in infinity war like
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: he's almost our lead he's almost not our villain he
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: totally makes you rethink the horrible thing that he's about
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: to do. And he shouldn't if he was an old
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: school generic villain, but he's done so well, performed and
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: written just interestingly enough that you're like, wait, what? So
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: I think I said that with the episode. I was like,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: we almost needed him to be scaled back to a
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: more generic villain so that we could finish out the
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: story and be like, oh good, we want him to die.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: We want him to lose. We want our heroes to
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: be the heroes again instead of, wait, who's the hero
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: in this movie? It's a little more confusing in Infinity War.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: So I think this goes back to being more old school.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: And you think you're being cute when you vote for
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: Disney as the biggest villain. Don't think I didn't notice
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: you're right and vote for Disney. Blaming them for Rise
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: of Skywalker. Whatever, I see what you're doing. Next up,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: the best monster in a 2019 film. First off, I
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: expected this. I kind of am surprised it didn't get
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: more votes. In the past, it has. Pennywise, he's still creepy.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: I'll give him the performance, the makeup, all of it together.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: He's a creepy bastard. I think the second movie has
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of problems, but none of it is him
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: not being creepy because he is still massively creepy. Next up,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: the jangly man in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: So there you go. good creepy people issues with the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: movie this i totally agree with have you seen bright
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: burn no the kid in bright burn this is one
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: of those i'm surprised they like got the okay to
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: make especially in this super superhero centric world that we
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: live in now like they basically just I mean it
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: is I expected him to just slightly go with it
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: it is like damn near beat for beat the Ma
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: and Paul Kent story if Superman fell on your land
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: what if he wasn't such a nice all American clean
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: cut guy what if you grew up and realized how
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: powerful you were and you could do whatever the hell
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: you wanted in this whole planet full of powerless useless
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: people were the only thing standing in your way like
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: that's pretty much how they take it and it becomes
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: a full-on horror movie midway in, you're like, oh, I
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: didn't know they were going this creepy and dark with it. Cool.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: It's impressive, yeah. I was not expecting it to be
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: as good as it was, so Brightburn, if you haven't
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: seen it. This one got a lot of votes. If
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: it were any other year, this one might have taken it.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: Goose the Flurkin in Captain Marvel. So the cat, essentially,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: but not a cat really at all. All right, but...
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: There was an overwhelming movie that came in and stole
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: the winner here.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: I hope mine gets it.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: Best monster.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: I think everything else was from the same movie, so
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: it's at least from the right movie.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: The winner is... King, oh boy.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: Ghidorah.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: Ghidorah, thank you.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: I pronounced it wrong for most of my life, by
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: the way, I've realized. I thought he was awesome as
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: a kid. I've been saying his name wrong for years.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: Is that the Hydra one?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: It's the three heads, yes.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, I had that action figure when I was a kid.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: But that's the thing. Like, even if it was questionable, like...
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: Who it was going to, this was the year there
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: was no question because we got, aside from all the
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: votes for that one, we got votes for Godzilla, the Behemoth,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: which I kind of forgot about, Mothra, and Rodan.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: Everybody got their own little group going there. We got
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: one specific, and I'm a Rodan sucker, so I'm on
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: board with this quote. Rodan finally gets his moment in
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: Godzilla King of Monsters. From a giant rubber chicken to
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: the flying condor from hell chasing down attack jets, this
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: was the moment Rodan fans need. Uh, I agree. So I,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty much anybody in there. That's the thing. There
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: were people who like skipped that category and didn't, I'm
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: like in a year with a Godzilla movie, like why
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: would you, even if you don't like the movie, like
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: there's so many awesome monsters there to be like, obviously
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: this one. So, um, we can have a minor rant
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: here and it's not mine, but just to point out, um,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Someone wrote in a vote. Again, they like to do
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: it in the wrong categories because they think they're making
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: a point. This one, they at least have a point.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: Their monster was the Academy and Golden Globe voters for
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: failing to nominate a single woman director during a year
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: with so many relative important impressive films that nobody got
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: a vote. She lists a whole lot of people here.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to call them out. Academy and Golden Globe voters.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: I believe her quote is, you basic. All right, next up,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: the best action sequence in a 2019 film. The finale
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Again, we'll say.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: This one I didn't think of, and then I was like, oh, no,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: totally an awesome action scene. The running to and or
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: from the flood in Parasite. It's a pretty impressive scene
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: for an otherwise not too huge budget kind of a project.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: It's impressive. The chase at the end of Hobbs and Shaw, again,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: can't go too far without some Fast and Furious action. This, again,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: I think says a lot about the year we're dealing with,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: and I think we've run into this in the past.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: The fact that the runner-up, the one that got the
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: most votes that didn't win, John Wick 3. If you're
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: in a year when John Wick doesn't win Best Action
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: Scene in a movie that is entirely comprised of action scenes.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That says something.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: I voted for John Wick, but specifically Dogs Running Up Walls.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: Dogs Running Up Walls.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: Dogs Running Up Walls.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was so many. It's like there was Antique Shop,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Knife Fight. Amazing. Dogs Running Up Walls. Horses Kicking People.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: a death by book. I mean, there's so many awesome
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: things that happen in there that, yeah, we even have
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: the fighting on motorcycles in John Wick 3. I was
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: numb and checked out at this point of the movie,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: but the scene woke me back up and got me
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: into the game. John Wick should be a 10 minute
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: long short shown before other movies. That might be true.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Like it's, well, specifically these last two, that first one
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: I think is a solid movie that does kind of
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: have what character you're going to have in that kind
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: of movie. has a character arc to it, and is
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: telling its own little story. These last two have just
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: been a really impressive effects reel of like, hey, you
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: think we could coordinate it so this could happen and
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: somebody doesn't die? And then they actually do it. They're impressive,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I feel like the only one with a
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: solid story is the first one. Alright.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: So, best action sequence in a 2019 film.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: Again, some of these you just can't fight.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: The big dogs.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: Finale of Avengers Endgame.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, when that much is going on, how do you...
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: There's a lot in the end of that movie.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: Game's rigged.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: You're one of those people. You're falling into the world
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: of conspiracy people. Don't trust the mouse.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah. I'm already there, friend.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: All right. Favorite score used in a 2019 film? I've
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: mixed it up here so as we go into our break,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: we can enjoy the sounds of our winner. So this,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: to remind you, I don't really give a rat's ass
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: what the Academy is doing. I sometimes like when people
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: repurpose and use something. So both the song and score
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: are free to be from whatever. It doesn't have to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: be originally created. There's not a weird loophole that means
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: you don't win the award because somebody extra helped you
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: write it or it's appeared in something else before. So
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Although I think these are all original.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: Because Johnny Greenwood used a little bit of Arvo Pärt
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: in an otherwise long-ass movie.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: See? Sometimes they get caught up in their weird little rules,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: so screw all that. In ours, it's just what music
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: did you like in a movie? First up is Godzilla
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: King of the Monsters by Bear McCreary. Next is Knives
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: Out by Nathan Johnson. Midsummer by Bobby... Is this Krillic?
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: I like that he's also a hazing cloak. Is that
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: his DJ name?
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he puts out albums.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: Is he Wild Side? Oh, yeah. Our comment on that
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: one is, the Midsummer soundtrack is on heavy rotation in
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: my head. Listen to it when you wake up and
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: it will put you in the perfect mood.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: There's a lot going on in that person's head. I
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: never out the person that says it, but I know
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: that person, and there's a lot of weird things going
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: on in their head. Next up, the most conventional, and
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: it's good. 1917 by Thomas Newman. It's a good score. Again,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: I hear a lot of influences from other stuff in it.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the most original concept, but
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: it's a solid score. But, not the winner.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: Is it going to be Avengers Endgame?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: No, but.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: The category is favorite score used in a 2019 film.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, conspiracy theorist. We won't stray far from the mouse.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: And the winner is John Williams for The Rise of Skywalker. Okay.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: Now, on a normal year, I would... I would, I
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: can't complain. That's a really good score. Like it shouldn't
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: be this far into his career. Go back and listen
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: to the score episode. We just did. But like we had,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: we had two composers there and they're both like, damn,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: this is still good. Like this far into this man's career,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: he should be phoning it in. Like he shouldn't need
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: to do anything. But in this particular, like even some
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: of the other ones, I felt like were a little
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: like more generic, but. This last one, I guess because
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: he knew it was the last one, is solid. It
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: is really impressively put together with a lot of original stuff.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: And when he pulls from other things in his past career,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: it's bits and pieces from totally different ones. And pieces from, again,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: not just the original like you would expect, but also
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: from weird stuff from the prequels that you wouldn't even think.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: He's finding ways... to tie all of this together, because
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: for him, this is one big, long project, and it's
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: still surprising how good John Williams' Rise of Skywalker score is.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: As we go into the score, we will remind you
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: that this year's award ceremony is brought to you by
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: Heine Brothers, so go Heine Brothers, drink some now. And,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: of course, everyone's favorite new toy, Baron of Cage. Everyone
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: loves Baron of Cage.
• 1:20:39

  Speaker 3: It's a bear in a cage.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: Whose pet could this be?
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 11: Maybe we should set him free.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 10: His fur is soft, his eyes so wide.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: Why do they have him locked inside?
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 10: It's a bear.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: It's a bear.

  Speaker 2: I get upset. But maybe you, you know, you guys
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: out there listening now, maybe you don't live near it
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: like some people live right down the street. Oh, my Lord.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? Some people don't live right

• 1:27:39

  Speaker 1: And Mrs.

  Speaker 2: Audience?
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 8: Well, Hedy Lamarr's here, but darn it with her husband,
• 1:27:47

  Speaker 8: Now everything's ready to go.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: But who's going to win?
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: All right, we are back. And again, in a world
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: that we live in, we would never be the kind
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: of show that would be like thinking an actor. or
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: actress was hot we're above that but we might think
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: that someone is aesthetically pleasing and also has amazing charisma
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: and it's because of that that you're inexplicably drawn to
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: them and if you were ever in their presence you
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: would not behave creepily at all so that is sort
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: of the category we're going with now. And yes, I
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: wrote all of that on the envelope. It's even wordier
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: in its original form. So the nominees are, and again,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: we get, this is why I started this one, not
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: to be creepy and think that people were hot because
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: people come up with totally, I love that everybody has
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: a thing that they're into and it's a different thing
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: for everybody. And I like hearing what other people like,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: because sometimes I'm like, I don't even know who this
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: person is. Puts them on your radar. Things like, I
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: didn't expect Randall Park to come up on this. If
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: you like Fresh Off the Boat, he's the dad. He's
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: in Always Be My Maybe, and he won people over
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: on that, obviously. Sure, I can expect our next win.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: Ryan Reynolds is always on there. Now, in a year
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: when he's the voice of Pikachu, is Pikachu hot? I
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: don't know. Whatever. He was our next win, Ryan Reynolds.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: This next one, again, I question our people writing in. Shazam!
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: The character? It didn't say Levi. It's just saying. That
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: big foam chest he's wearing is hot. I don't know.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe he really worked out. Hell if I know. Next up. Oh,
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: shirtless Brad Pitt. Come on now. You can't argue. Now
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: this one has both. So does one person want to
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: read both? You'd have to wait until I get to
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: the next one. Find the boy type person first.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, boy type person. performer that you feel is aesthetically
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: pleasing while also having an amazing charisma that you are
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: inexplicably drawn to, but if you were ever in their
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: presence in the real world, you would be completely respectful
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: and not at all creepy toward them in a 2019 film.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: And the winner is, for a boy-type person or otherwise
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: masculine-presenting individual, is Keanu Reeves.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: You can't fight John Wick. You can't, because he'll beat
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: your ass. I've seen three movies that told me that.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: You can't fight John Wick. See, you're cheating. You're already
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: looking at the other one.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at it.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean to.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to pass it to you to read, but
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: he's going to read.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, next up for... We didn't even get to the nominees.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: Hold on. We had a lot of special... The guys
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: were pretty normal, but we had a lot of special
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: entries in the ladies. We had a vote for Mothra.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: She is a lady. Babe. We got a comment that
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: just said Bo Peep got back. I don't know that
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: that's appropriate, but you watch what you want to watch
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: in your movies.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: Bo Peep did have back. It was an inappropriate amount
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: of back for a children's movie. I remember thinking that
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: in the theater, like, damn.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: But the regular-ish nominees. I do like this one. It's
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: very sappy. I'm a sap, so. Our first entry is
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Emma Stone. She won my heart in Easy A, and
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: she hasn't let go yet. Next up is Ana de Armas.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's how you pronounce it. If not,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: please come over to my house and correct me. From
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: Knives Out, she is freaking amazing. She is one of
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: those that's only been in a handful of things that
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: I know of, but now I'm like, okay, now you're
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: going to be the star of every movie from here
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: on out because she's amazing in Knives Out. Does anybody
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: know the right way to say Lupita's last name?
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 4: Yongo?
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: Yongo.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: There we go. I'm just going to butcher it as
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: the rest of these. Lupita is next. Florence Pune, star
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: of several, if not one, of our horror episodes. You remember.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: You loved that ghost movie she made.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: Little did she know she had Oscar and Foiler nominations
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: coming up for her. But none of those are the winners.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: So who is the winner for, you don't have to
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: read all that nonsense, for the girl type person? Okay.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: The winner is Brie Larson. And I guess Captain Marvel?
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: Captain Marvel. I would say Captain Marvel because I don't
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: like her haircut in Endgame. I'm not supposed to be
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: that way, but if you remember, I spent a good
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: portion of the Captain Marvel episode talking about her bouncy, shiny,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: amazing hair. I do remember that. It's really just a
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: slap in the face when she shows up in Endgame
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: with that weird haircut. I'm just like, what are you
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: I hope by the time we get to two, she
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: has her lovely hair back. But she can do whatever
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: she wants with it. It's not mine. And this is
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: how you know I didn't come up with these. These
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: are outsourced nominations because Park Sodam should have been in
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: there as far as I'm concerned. She's the sister in Parasite.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: She's so damn adorable. I'm watching it going, maybe I
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: shouldn't think that. How old is this girl? Because there's both,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: I think, supposed to be almost high school age in
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: the movie. I looked it up. She's like 27. She's
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: way older than she's supposed to be playing in the movie,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: but she is very adorable. All right, next up. The
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: 2019 movie you expected to hate but ended up enjoying.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: I like the first one because it comes with a story.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: Downton Abbey. Never watched the show. Taken by my wife.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: Realized it was about people just being petty and shallow,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: which is my favorite thing.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 4: I forgot they made a Downton Abbey movie.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: I think everybody did, except Downton Abbey people, because it
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: still made a fortune, because everybody that watched the show
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: went and saw the movie. So it made good money, surprisingly.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: All right. Next up, I like that they start off with,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: don't judge me. Don't judge me, but Dora and the
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: Lost City of Gold. I see a movie every week
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: and my friend and I saw this on a week
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: where we'd already seen everything else we wanted to and
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: it was actually legitimately funny and we had a great time.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: Watch it! Stop recording the show!
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 7: Go right now!
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: I try to deliver on these quotes. I assume that's
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: how she meant it. Alright, next up for expected to
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: hate but ended up enjoying. This one I got several times.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. For some reason, I
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: go into most every Tarantino movie expecting to not enjoy
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: his work. And I'm almost always end up pleasantly surprised.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: You'd think I'd learn. And the final nominee that didn't win.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: Star Wars Rise of Skywalker. With just a quote that said,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you, J.J.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: Abrams.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: I think that's not how everyone took it, but they
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: were very pleased with J.J. for swinging it back away
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: from Ryan's weird direction he took it so alright are
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: we prepared.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: Category is 2019 movie you expected to hate but ended
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: up enjoying.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: This is questionable depending on the person and the winner
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: is Joker yeah I didn't fall into that category again
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: showing I didn't rig this cause I just recently I
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: didn't even bother in the theater cause it looked so
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: depressing and I finally got around to it when it
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: hit blu-ray and I'm like I don't take away from
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: everything else that's put into it. That performance is amazing. Like,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: he really put so much into that performance. So I
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: hate that it also falls into the overall problems with
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: the movie, because I think it's mostly on the writing,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: directing end of it. By the end, it's just too
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: pleased with him as a character. If we start off
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: looking at what's supposed to be the story of mental
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: illness and the way people treat other people and And
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: how it sort of shoved him down this road. But
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: by the end, it's like suddenly it's written and directed
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: by a 12-year-old boy that was like, awesome. Dude, you
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: see when he killed that guy? And then like riot
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: in the streets because the anarchy is awesome. It just
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: gets really pleased. I didn't know you could do that voice.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: It's pleased with itself. And I can't. It got really
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: icky in the end there. It's just like you're just
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: way too happy with where this road ends up. And
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: that creeps me out. But everybody else ended up enjoying
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: it more than they expected. I went the other way.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't expect to like it, and I was right.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 7: Nice.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: My favorite outside category. I didn't come up with this.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: It was a listener, and I stood by it every year.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: The dreariest study of the human condition in a 2019 film.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: I like it. I'm sorry. I think it's funny. And
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: then you get every year, you're like, they'll nominate stuff,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, no, you're right. That's exactly, I mean,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: totally fits. Things like our first one. Parasite. Yeah, all right.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: You can't argue that. How about the next one? Richard Jewell. Yeah,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: all right. I can't argue. The Fanatic.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: Check, check. All right. Uncut Gems. These are all contenders.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: Not the winner. I really, again, I didn't even question
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: this one. I assumed this was going to be the answer. Okay.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 4: I don't think, I think I maybe have an idea.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: I would think so.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: Drearious study of the human condition in a film in 2019.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: Goes to Joker.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: Hmm. I mean, it's accurate.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 4: Okay. I guess like on paper.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: Given my rant, it's pretty accurate.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 12: Execution well I think almost in the execution it fits
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 12: more so than on the screenplay yeah I'm like in
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 12: the way that it comes together it's more accurate than
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 12: maybe how it was conceived our.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: Quotes are Joker I thought the trailer was amazing but
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: this movie was misery porn and so much acting oof
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: I quote you, oof. Also, the answer is Joker, Joker,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: oh my god, Joker. It's probably going to win an
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: Oscar because the world is a giant trash fire now,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: but this is the bleakest, darkest, most depressing movie I've
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: seen in recent memory, and the subject matter doesn't even
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: merit that heavy of a treatment. I'm a serious fan
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: of the comic books, but my god, I felt like
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: I was taking a bath to get rid of the
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: smell of grease paint, cigarette smoke, and misery. And just
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: for a bonus bit of crap, Thomas and Martha, Martha Wayne,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: must decide to take their kid to a show and,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: for some reason, cut down a dark alley, only this
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: time in the middle of a citywide riot? It's a
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: dumb movie, but hey, Martha's pearls won't rip themselves off
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: her neck, so let's get to it. All right, Joker.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: I love ranting for other people. Next up. Again, I
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: like coming back to the music. Favorite use of a
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: song in a 2019 film, and it does not have
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: to be created, and none of them ever are, because
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: people like using old songs. That's what half of our
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: filmmakers do now, is like, what kind of cool old
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: song can I pull and put in this? And I
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: think that shouldn't disqualify them. So, first up, the cover
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: of Pet Sematary by the Starcrawlers for the titular Pet Sematary,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: I would assume. The cover of I Want to Hold
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: Your Hand, non-English, in Jojo Rabbit. I think the way
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: they worded it is J-Lo working the pole to Fiona Apple,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: which I had to check.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 4: It's criminal.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: Again, back to a previously mentioned, always be my maybe,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: the song I Punched Keanu Reeves. Gets worked in here. Sadly,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: not the winner. I didn't see this one coming, but
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: it's an awesome choice.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: Favorite use of a song in 2019 film. I got
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: five on it by Luna's featuring Michael Marshall from us. I,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 4: you know what? I think I might agree with that.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. The way they.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 4: Worked it into the score was cool.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing. I kind of remembered the song
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: from a million years ago, but like now when I
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: go back and I'm like, The music end of it
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: is so creepy. It's an almost little Nightmare on Elm
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: Street jangly thing going on in the background. It's kind
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: of perfect. I'm like, you didn't know at the time
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: you were writing a song for a horror movie, and
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: yet here we are years later, and it's a perfect
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: song for a horror movie. I was happy with that one.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: There's a few music choices in that movie that are
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: pretty amazing. Particularly Fuck the Police.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that got some votes. That's the thing.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go into too many of the
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: other options because I think I said this last year too.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: We got so many great write-ins for kind of forgotten
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: songs that were awesomely used in movies. I'm like, I
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: just need to do a whole soundtrack episode of all
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: the things that people nominated that weren't the winners. So
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: I think we've got a whole bunch of them from
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: this year and last year that we need to just
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: play And it's an awesome song.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a hard time with that category just
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: because I couldn't remember songs in a movie. It's just
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: a few minutes, and I might think it's really cool
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: at the time, but I'm not going to remember that
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: later on.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, unless it's like a Scorsese movie where he has
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 4: a full song playing over a whole scene. It's hard
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 4: to remember pop music. Because it's always the Rolling Stones. Yeah,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: that's it.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: It's always the Rolling Stones.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: Although the Irishman, I think he showed some restraint. I
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: guess he could technically because of the time period. Like
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: the Stones didn't really exist during most of the movie.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: They were the pre-Rolling Stones. They found some other band
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: that just kind of sounded like it.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: Exactly, yeah.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: All right, now this one, I created a whole new
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: category based around a performance. I'm sitting in the theater.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh my God, that was amazing. I'm
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: going to have to create a whole new category. And
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: then the person I was inspired by... Nobody nominated. What
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: the hell? So, as I created the non-main character that
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: completely steals the movie they were in in 2019, I
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: may just start referring to it as the Billy Lord Award.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: Because I watch Booksmart and I'm like, okay, I like
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: these two girls. But Billy Lord just stole that movie
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: from me. Like, she is so funny and so... Oddly entertaining.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: So entertaining that you don't question the fact that she's
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: in high school. Because I'm like, isn't she 30? I'm
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: pretty sure she's 30. Why is she in high school?
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe that fits her character even more so, knowing how
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: her character is in this movie. But yeah, that's the reason.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting there watching Booksmart going, good God, she just
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: totally stole this movie. And then no one else. So
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: the rest of the people voted for, again, I did
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: like this, the bear in Midsommar. you get points for
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: that that was funny it's good um this one's surprising
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: but there's a whole reason uh merlin in the kid
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: who would be king didn't expect to find a novel
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: reinvention of a character that's been in almost 100 movies
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: but i did it kept me from disowning my kids
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: after they picked this movie for family night so now
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: i guess i have to watch the kid who would
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: be king i previously mentioned And now it makes me
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: kind of want to see this movie more. I already
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: wanted to see Always Be My Maybe, but Keanu Reeves
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: has a cameo playing himself in the movie. I'm like,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: damn it. Now I'm going to have to watch it.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: And again, we haven't had a lot of weird characters
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: like this, so I can't argue with Babu Frick, which
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: is the weird little character in Star Wars. But I
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: like mostly the comment that comes with it is, Hands down,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: this is the answer. Don't even count other people's opinions.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: They are wrong. They're very happy with Bobby Frick, obviously.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: Let's see. We also got some Natasha Lyonne thrown out
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: for Ad Astra. A few other. Somebody specifically singled out
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: 3PO in the new Star Wars. I was like, I
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: didn't see that coming. I like him in that. I
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: think he's funny. But yeah, didn't see that coming. But
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: not the winner. So what are we up to?
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: Category is non-main character that stole the 2019 film in
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: which they are featured.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: It is not Billy Lord, but I wholeheartedly agree with
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: this winner.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 3: And the winner is Julia Butters as Trudy Fraser in
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 3: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: She's the little kid that he does the scene with,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: that has the whole little conversation with him. That was
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 2: a good scene. She is so good. I mean, she's
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: one of those that is on a sitcom now and
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: is ridiculously funny in that, but again, that's a very...
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: You can be a funny kid on a sitcom and like, eh, whatever.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: You can just show up for work and do that.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: But to then turn around and also be in a
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: Tarantino movie, also be in this really amazing scene and
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: most of the dialogue and delivery is on your shoulders
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: because Leo's just kind of sitting there like losing his
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: mind at that point in his life. So yeah, that's
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: an amazing scene. And then it's a great scene when
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: she comes back and plays the actual like filmed a
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: scene with him. So yeah, Julia Butters. I agree. That's
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: a good choice. It didn't go the way I expected,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: but I wholeheartedly agree. Alright, we're rounding things out. We're
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: coming to the big winners. Director. This is the most
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: impressive director of a 2019 film. First up, Anthony and
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: Joe Russo. Because those movies weren't going to direct themselves.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 4: See, we're... I have my ideas about that. Well, like,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 4: I think just people like their understanding of what direction is,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 4: it's like way off. Like when people like immediately go
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 4: to like any Marvel movie for direction, like.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: Those movies, I think most don't, they're directed by studios.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 4: And if there, if there's any sense of like vision
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 4: or like, directorial style from the person who actually directed
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 4: it it's only in like a handful of scenes.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: If ever i feel like there's maybe more so and
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: when when joss was doing them i feel like definitely
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: the joss ones have his feel to them they're specifically
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: this one is just such an undertaking but i think
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: like winter soldier feels like it's a different than all
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: the rest of them so like that's the first of
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: them coming in and kind of so these i think
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: are just more of Man, you did how much? It's
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: just the amount of juggling involved in making that film.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: Points to him for that. Whether or not it has
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: a specific, distinct style that's different from other directors. But
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: I feel like there are other... Again, if they're not
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: so overwhelmed, I feel like Winter Soldier is a little
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: more focused. And it does kind of feel like something
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: different than all the other Marvel movies. But yeah, again,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: just a nomination. But showing that we're a little better
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: than the Academy... We do have Greta Gerwig for Little Women. So, just,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: you know, the Academy needs to get with the program,
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: is what I'm saying. Next up, Sam Mendes for 1917.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: I believe at one point someone referred to it as
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: the hellscape that is 1917. Yeah, I'm not going to
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: argue that. I think it's an impressive feat more so
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: than a finished product. Because I don't know that the
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: film has anything to say for 1917. as big and
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: dramatic as this war movie is, but the things that
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: are going on every single minute are impressive. At the end,
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: it's just kind of like, yeah, that was good. It
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the weight that a huge war movie probably
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: should have, but minute to minute, it's an impressive feat
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: and accomplishment that they put together. The runner-up, and I
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: was surprised again in a different year, Quentin Tarantino. Again,
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: I had another, like, always forgot how much I genuinely
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: enjoy his films. Everybody kind of goes in going, eh, whatever,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: shrug off Tarantino, but they refer to it as an
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: odd duck of a movie, but I enjoyed the entire film. So,
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: there you go. Once upon a time in Hollywood, can't
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: fight it. But, not the best Director of the Year.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, Most Impressive Director of a 2019 Film. Bong Joon-ho
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 4: for Parasite. I can get with that. He directed the
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 4: shit out of that movie.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: I was impressed that I expected some votes, but it
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: was all Tarantino the first half. And then all these
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: votes started. I was like, oh man, I think he's
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: going to pull it out.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 4: It was done in a very simple style. For a
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 4: not simple story. It's a credit story. It's a credit
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 4: to the direction, how he gets so much of that
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 4: plotting in visually to convey to American audiences especially. I
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 4: think that's why it's done so well in the West.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: It just continues to.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 4: It's because the direction makes it easy to take it
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 4: all in.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: It branches out because a new movie, every 20 to
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: 30 minutes, it's like, okay, I think I've got a
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: handle on what... Whoa, wait, what? And then there's another one,
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: and it just... it's so much going on in one
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: movie that yeah, to, to kind of get a handle
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: on it and even more impressive to make American audiences come,
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: you know, appreciate that. Cause we're not really known for
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: that sort of, we don't cross over much into the, uh,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: the other side of the oceans. Hmm. All right. So
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: next up, we're rounding out the last two, the movies.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: So this is favorite, what you would consider mainstream movie
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: in 2019. First up, And you're not going to wonder
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: who put together this quote. Ad Astra. Takes you on
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: a real trip from the Earth to the Moon to
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: a space station to Mars to Neptune and back again.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: Along the way, you get a lunar car chase, a
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: killer baboon, and dad issues. My wife looked at me
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: in the theater and said, they made this movie just
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: for you. Next up, 1917. As I said, hellscape of
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: World War I. Next is Knives Out. What a refreshing
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: original movie. It took a murder mystery genre and not
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: only modernized it, but utilized tropes while also subverting them.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: It was funny, witty, and a great cast. And I
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: will watch Michael Shannon in anything, even when he's underutilized
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: in his terrible Superman script. Whenever I'm confused, that donut
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: speech echoes through my head, and I'm still waiting for
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: the sweater collection to drop. throw a callback for sweaters
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 2: this person wants sweaters really bad alright so the final
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: nominee and runner up and surprisingly not the winner Avengers
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: Endgame so not the most favorite mainstream.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: Movie yeah I have an idea.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: There was a couple of them kind of running the
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 2: show this year.
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 3: Category is favorite mainstream movie And the winner is Once
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 3: Upon a Time in Hollywood. Yep.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: Yep. I do wonder if, again, we're such different from
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: the old Academy. I mean, they have pretty much, with
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: the exception of some screenplays, pretty much ignored him over
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: the years. So is this the year they make good
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: on it? Because they do love themselves. So he finally
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: made one that's just out and out about their town
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: and very like, like, again, no surprise to Tarantino fans,
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: but like painstakingly accurate how much he recreated the whole
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: little strip downtown. And like he convinced them to like
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 2: shut down a part of the highway to shoot one
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 2: of those. And like, they don't do that. Like they
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: are Hollywood and they don't do that. But Tarantino convinced
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 2: them to shut down part of the highway to shoot that.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: So it would be like an old time 70s, not
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: that many cars on the road highway shot instead of
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 2: the wall-to-wall.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 4: Definitely i would say it's definitely the best like driving
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 4: while listening to radio movies since like dazed and confused
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 4: like it's on that level of like you know that
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 4: just doing that really well.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: It's one of those that i think grew on me
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: like i think as i left the theater i was
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: like yeah that was pretty good and then like as
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 2: it sat with me for the next few days i
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 2: And then more since then, I'm like, I think it's
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: so much underlying because on the surface, there's not much
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 2: to the story. And like a few of the characters,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: we don't even finish their story. Like we don't even
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: really see much with where her life goes. She just
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: has a chance to continue, but like, we don't really
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: get much of her. Like, but the development, like the characters,
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: they spent so much time in this relationship with these
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: two guys. And like with, with all of these like
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: well written characters that, I don't know it's one of
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 2: those that stuff kind of settled in more as time
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: went on and I think I really like it now
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: as one of his films where initially it was like
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: yeah it's fine but yeah I think it's one that
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 2: kind of it takes a while to come to terms
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: with it and what he's even trying to do in
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 2: that movie. All right here we go the favorite indie
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: movie or what you would consider indie which is always
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: questionable in both of these categories and that's why I
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: put it on the nominee or not me I I
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: have nothing to do with this. I just tally them. So,
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: favorite what you would consider indie movie in 2019. Ready
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: or not, it's a horror comedy, which is one of
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: my favorite genres. It's very rewatchable. Samara Weaving is a
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: gift to this genre. She's won these people over. I
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: don't see that still. It is definitely worth seeing. Next up,
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: The Fanatic.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: I just like that. Again, I think it, it puts
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: what we do in a different perspective. Like is the
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: fanatic ever going to come up on like an Academy list? No,
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: but like the people there's, there's like a whole nother
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 2: level of movie fans out there that like the Academy
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't realize exists and doesn't get, doesn't care. but it's
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: the same as last year. It's like the Academy doesn't
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: care about Mandy people, but the people watching Mandy are
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 2: watching The Fanatic this year. You're like, know what? This
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: is awesome. I get what's going on here more so
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 2: than most people, most Academy voters will say. Next up, Midsommar.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 2: The Screaming Circle is my favorite scene of the year.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: Are there Screaming Circle meetup groups? Maybe I should start one. Again,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: knowing this person, I'm pretty sure they're going to. I
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: also was kind of surprised that didn't take it. I
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: think if you would have asked me earlier in the year, again,
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 2: knowing our crowd, I would have assumed Midsommar took the
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: whole thing. But again, as the year rounded out, it
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 2: didn't even come in second. The runner-up, we got a
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: lot of votes for the White House. Kind of came
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: in at the end and got a good build-up. But still...
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: Not the winner.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 4: Favorite indie movie goes to Parasite. Nice. I'm improving the
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 4: Parasite love.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 4: Getting towards the end.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: I totally approve. I did not. I didn't. I was
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: so glad I didn't know what to expect with that.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 2: I just heard all of the build up behind it
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 2: and everybody talking about it. But I didn't really even
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 2: know what the plot essentially was. So I'm kind of
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: glad I went in blind. and got to take those
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 2: weird turns as it gets thrown at you. So yeah,
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's an amazing movie. He did a great
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: job directing it. It's a really impressive cast, like everything
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 2: across the board. I think it's, it's impressive. So I
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: was glad to see that as the big winner. So
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: anything else to pass along? Bad taste. I disagree. I
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: like most of those movies that won. Some of them
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: are not the most obscure, but, you know, again, Parasite
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: just won. So, like, it's balanced out.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 4: So it's a win-win.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 2: And again, I think if you look at the nominees
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 2: more than the winners, sometimes you get more interesting stuff
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: that you're like, oh, wait, that came up a couple
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: of times. Maybe I need to check that out. So
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, the numbers game becomes the, okay,
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: everybody saw Avengers. Okay, everybody saw it once upon a
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: time in Hollywood, but yeah, it's the one-offs that get in.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: It's the fanatics that slip in that you're like, wait,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: I guess I have to watch this now. So yeah,
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: I think it's more like when Midsommar and Parasite gets
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: brought up. Anytime we can help these movies know that
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: they have an audience and know that people actually appreciated them,
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's important. Agreed.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was sad that the lighthouse didn't get more love.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 3: Not for this in particular, but in general, it really
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 3: didn't get a lot of love.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the people were really building it up, and I
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 4: thought it was awesome, and then just no one... I
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 4: think it was just too weird.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: For most people. Yeah, I think people just don't know
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 2: what to do with it.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 4: I can't see those, not to be ageist, but those
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 4: old Academy voters who are always just bitching in those
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 4: articles where they're like, this movie was overrated. I didn't understand. Like,
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 4: I just can't see that demographic getting into the light.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, at all.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 4: Um, which is, I mean, yeah, 1917 is going to win.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 4: It's just that movie. That's just, it's like my mom
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 4: literally just texted me while we were talking. She's like,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 4: just got on 1917. Think it's my favorite movie of
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 4: the year. So I'm like, it's going to win.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: Like it's, she is an Academy voter is what you're saying.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 6: Essentially.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 4: What genre of movies is guaranteed to unite? Like, boomer
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 4: audiences and like you know like current generation people like
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 4: it's a war.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 3: It's like a war movie that does extremely long one
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: take cinematography with.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 4: Like with a cast of people who are like clearly
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 4: could only be like models in present time like not
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 4: a person who would be like a soldier in World
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 4: War I I don't.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 3: Agree with that I think I think the guy that
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 3: ended up being the main character, I think he looked
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 3: like somebody that looks.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of, you know, you'd see a weird.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: Black and white picture of a guy that looked like that.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of Dunkirk, because I feel like Dunkirk was
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 4: just like Phil was just like men's magazine covers of people.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: That's the thing that doesn't make sense. Why did Dunkirk
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: not work? Like on paper, it should have swept the Oscars.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought it totally worked.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: But I mean, no, as a successful, like it didn't
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 2: make the kind of money that this one did. It
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 2: didn't get the acclaim.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: Because people don't like slow pacing.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 4: You know what it was? It was the cross-cutting, the
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 4: time structure thing. I think people were confused by or like,
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 4: that's what I think 1917 is like. more of a
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 4: likely winner because it's very linear and easy to like
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 4: it's literally like this is yeah no joke there's no
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 4: way to get confused there's no way to kind of
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 4: like you know try to get your bear like also
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 4: i think any movie that has that kind of the
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 4: winner thing going for it is that's kind of like
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 4: you know that's what's popular now so i think it's
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 4: more likely to And.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: The takeaway lesson is if you see somebody's plane crash,
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 2: just don't help them out.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 3: Don't help them.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 2: Don't help them. Let them burn in that plane.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 2: So, I don't know.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 4: Midsommar, I guess, was too weird.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: See, that's too weird.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 4: Too White House. Some of my favorite movies, just like
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 4: no one's going to.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 2: And that's why I like doing this show every year.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 2: I think we do find that weird niche audience that like,
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 2: is drawn to that stuff and likes that stuff. And
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: they do like, that's the favorites that we returned to
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: when we think about this year. But like, again, Academy
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: voters are going to pick very different things. So it'll
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 2: be 1917 or something. I don't know. But I, I
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 2: like that we can, we can kind of give a
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 2: shout out to the smaller movies or, or the forgotten
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 2: movies or lesser known performances and, you know, give people
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: a reason to go find them. So I think that's
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 2: the plan. We'll just have to do this again next year.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 2: So now, much like Jacqueline, if you disagree with some
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: of these nominees or winners, well, then I ask you,
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: did you vote? Because I'd say a lot of people
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: listening didn't, and you have the opportunity to. So, and
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 2: here's the thing that's kind of frustrating sometimes is we
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 2: get a lot of votes, but everybody goes in different directions.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 2: So a lot of times the winner will be one vote.
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 2: Many times this year, it came down to one final
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 2: vote that put this one over the top versus that one.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 2: And you could be that vote. So, I mean, I
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: guess you can say this in those other elections and
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 2: whatnot out there, but who cares about all that? Foilers
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: is the important part. So your vote actually counts here
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 2: and you should vote next year. And that way, when
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: some of these things go the way maybe you want it,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: you can be like, hey, I hope that happens. So
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 2: putting the call out now. Get involved with the Foilers
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 2: next year. Email me. Go to the website. You can
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 2: get involved. And for those who did, a big thank
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 2: you to everybody who voted and for everyone who's been
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: supporting us all year long this year and all of
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 2: these years in the past. So thank you. Spread the word.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: If there's anybody out there who might like hearing some
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: of these movies discussed, send the episode out to them.
• 2:02:42

• 2:02:43

• 2:02:55

• 2:07:23
  Speaker 2: The reason, I know what a pierogi is. What made me,
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 2: it was almost the tie-in. Like, I kind of wanted
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: to get them anyway, but I was like, oh, there's
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 2: almost a movie tie-in there. I went to see the documentary,
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 2: Almost There, which if you haven't seen it, is awesome.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 2: And then, in it, they go to, the whole reason
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 2: the movie starts, more or less, is they were just
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 2: shooting footage at, like, the pierogi festival in this little town.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 2: And then they run into this artist and it like
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 2: everything from that point on. Then they're like, oh, this
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 2: guy's kind of fascinating and really talented. Let's do a
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 2: documentary on him. And then they start following him around
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 2: and they're like, oh. look at what's going on at
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 2: his house this is crazy and then about midway in
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 2: there's a whole nother oh really like it's fascinating and
