• 0:54
  We did it, guys, we really made it. We made it.
• 0:57
  How has here twenty twenty four started off, buddy? It started off great.
• 1:02
  The weather's been very nice up here in Minnesota. It's been pretty warm
• 1:06
  for the most part. I don't feel like I have many exciting things,
• 1:11
  but life is good. I guess that's been harrying out, watching movies,
• 1:17
  playing games, watching basketball. It's been fun. It's been fun. It's
• 1:22
  been fun. That's awesome. Man. How about I went up to your
• 1:26
  hometown. I was last weekend. I was a nice surprise to read.
• 1:30
  It was crazy. It was cool. So this is the third time that
• 1:34
  I've gone ice fishing with my dad and my uncle and cousin, and it's
• 1:42
  a good time. We go up there a lake of the woods. Yeah,
• 1:46
  we were a little nervous because, like the week before, people were
• 1:51
  growing through the ice. Oh. It was like because it's been so warm,
• 1:55
  like you were saying, yes, this has never been something that we've
• 1:57
  ever had to worry about, for sure, And it's usually waked anytime after
• 2:01
  because now it's going to get cold. I think it's so. But we
• 2:07
  always do it the same weekend. And there was one weekend where it was
• 2:10
  negative forty like it was, oh yeah, so cold. Yeah, And
• 2:15
  this time it was like a ball me me thirty degrees every day. So
• 2:22
  there was still like a foot and a half ice. It was fine.
• 2:23
  That's so I wasn't wasn't too nervous. The dude died up there fairly recently.
• 2:29
  I didn't want to get into all that when we were texting. Record.
• 2:31
  Yeah, so usually they bring you out on these bombardiers. Have you
• 2:36
  ever been in a bombardier? No, no, no, no, it's
• 2:38
  any of them, but never been it's super weird. It's I had never
• 2:42
  seen one before. They're not that cool. They freaked me out and they
• 2:46
  literally lock you in them and there's no way to get out. I didn't
• 2:51
  know that. Yeah, upsetting, still like that at all. They weren't
• 2:55
  using the bombardiers because of that accident. Yeah, we were just like a
• 2:59
  trailer and it was not locked, and I was very You were like,
• 3:02
  I actually prefer this, if I'm honest. Yeah, because I was just
• 3:07
  so claustrophobic and scared every time. Yeah, dude, I find as I
• 3:12
  get older, i'm the claustrophobia stuff. I don't know if I just think
• 3:15
  about it more now or what, But it really it doesn't. It's not
• 3:19
  I don't think it's as bad as like some people get it. But there
• 3:21
  are times when I'm like, I don't love this. I don't. I
• 3:25
  might freak out if I'm here much longer. Yeah, I'm there sometimes.
• 3:30
  But it was a good weekend. We caught fifty fish, which is pretty
• 3:36
  good. It's not as crazy as some of the years. But to have
• 3:42
  a couple of shore lunches and all that good stuff a little fish for it,
• 3:46
  it'll be great. Love that love that. Yeah, and now I'm
• 3:52
  just I'm back home and with the kiddos and hanging out and kels and it's
• 3:55
  a good time. I love that. That's so fun. Yeah, dude,
• 4:00
  Well, before we get into our best of twenty twenty three episode,
• 4:04
  yes, I do just want to give a shout out to our patrons who
• 4:08
  we love so much. I want to say hello to Marsha Griziak, Mary
• 4:13
  Fox, Nanette Walkley, Ruth cood Yohan Brosted, Jackie Houston, Deborah Olkin,
• 4:19
  Noel Flores. You guys are wonderful. Ye, thanks for continuing to
• 4:24
  support us. It is really great for us. Yeah. So, yeah,
• 4:30
  twenty twenty four is good. But twenty twenty three there were some pretty
• 4:34
  great movies that came out. Buddy, I saw a lot of movies from
• 4:40
  twenty twenty three. Do you know? Did you count to any counting question?
• 4:45
  You know? I can quick do it. Nope, you don't have
• 4:47
  to. I can tell you that I saw one hundred and fifty two movies
• 4:51
  last year. Oh you mean overall? I do overall. I do have
• 4:56
  that number. Yeah, And I didn't go through and see which ones were
• 5:00
  new, but the majority of that was new. I'm mad one hundred and
• 5:08
  seventy three boom. But you watch a lot more TV than I do,
• 5:14
  so that makes sense, maybe not a lot, a lot. I feel
• 5:16
  like it is overstating. I also do I just watch way more movies you
• 5:21
  do? Like the difference is probably all rewatches them, for sure. Yeah,
• 5:28
  but I try and watch stuff I haven't seen except you know, I
• 5:30
  get about forty movies a year on this thing where you can go back and
• 5:35
  watch something that else. Totally, that's about how many I saw that were
• 5:39
  new in twenty twenty three. Cool, which is crazy? It seems like
• 5:43
  a lot. Yeah, it is a lot, I guess I don't know,
• 5:45
  but yeah, So here we are, buddy, Well, let's let's
• 5:49
  go and do this our best of twenty twenty three movie. Do you want
• 5:53
  to for number one? Or what do you want to? Sure, let's
• 5:56
  do it rock, paper scissor shit? What are you doing? I can't
• 6:01
  see it? There it is? We both did scissors? Okay, one
• 6:04
  to go? All right, you go first. I guess I didn't think
• 6:11
  that through very well. My rock I did. I'm always paper in his
• 6:15
  rock. It's really the ties that bind us together, and honestly, that
• 6:20
  sort of brotherly camaraderie leads us to my number one choice, because I picked
• 6:26
  the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem for my number one movie. Number one.
• 6:31
  Now listen to me. I think this is a good time for us
• 6:34
  to talk about this. This is our favorite movies. Of course, clearly.
• 6:42
  Clearly, I don't think this is like a better film than one of
• 6:46
  the movies that came out this year, but I get it, it's your
• 6:49
  favorites. I loved it so much. I think I saw it. I
• 6:54
  saw it either two or three times in the theater. I've seen it a
• 6:56
  couple times since. It just captured all the joy that I love about the
• 7:00
  Turtles, that we both have loved about the Turtles forever. And I think
• 7:03
  it's going to lead to more movies in the future, obviously because it was
• 7:06
  a smash hit. So I just had a ton of fun with it.
• 7:11
  I know, we talked about it for an episode, so it's like a
• 7:14
  little less uh you know, incredible of a review right now. But I
• 7:18
  loved it a lot, and I loved it. I love the Turtles.
• 7:21
  I just think they're fun. They are fun, and we talked about a
• 7:26
  little bit it was so cool the stuff that they did, and they actually
• 7:29
  made them teenagers and totally it wasn't super weird with April O'Neill, like she
• 7:34
  was a peer. Yeah, which makes weird. Yeah, that could have
• 7:38
  got weird quick. Yeah. That was always a weird thing with the old
• 7:42
  movies too that you just kind of overlooked. But they did a lot of
• 7:46
  really cool things with it. So but yeah, number one is strong.
• 7:49
  That is a streng Just like I kept, I kept going over the list
• 7:53
  and I was like, yeah, well, I don't know who I'm kidding.
• 7:56
  Like, I loved that movie so much. I think it's my favorite
• 8:00
  good I love it. I really liked it. And like I said,
• 8:03
  the joy that they captured was just so palpable. I like that all.
• 8:05
  It was great. So that's my weird number one. I'm guessing we don't
• 8:11
  have overlap based on your rear, we didn't. And I will spoiler that's
• 8:16
  not in my top ten, not in your top ten even it's honorable mention
• 8:22
  for sure. Okay, but there were some good movies this year, dude.
• 8:28
  There was some amazing movies. And I there's one I feel bad already
• 8:33
  that's not on my list and sure, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna get
• 8:35
  there. But yeah, we're going to the top ten. What's your number
• 8:39
  one? Then? My number one was surprising, okay, but it was
• 8:46
  the Paul Jamadi led The Holdovers was my favorite movie one. It's my number
• 8:54
  wow. So non spoiler alert, Yeah, well I guess spoiler alert it
• 9:00
  does make my top ten, but okay, cool, number one obviously not
• 9:03
  number one. Yeah, I loved that movie so much. It was like
• 9:09
  one of my favorite Yeah, it was one of my favorite experiences in the
• 9:11
  theater. I came in with low expectations and was blown away by it.
• 9:20
  I just didn't have expectations. I wouldn't say low. I totally am with
• 9:24
  you. I think, you know, we should try to do that for
• 9:26
  every movie we see, because it really knows to make a huge difference.
• 9:30
  It does. Yeah, and there's another one that's in my honorable mentions that
• 9:35
  was like I had expectations and then it's just like, you know what I
• 9:39
  mean? So yeah, sure. But for people who don't know The Holdovers,
• 9:43
  it's about a currudgeonally instructor at a New England prep school. He remains
• 9:48
  on campus during Christmas break the babysit, a handful of students with nowhere to
• 9:52
  go. He soon forms an unlikely bond with the brainy but damaged troublemaker and
• 9:56
  with the school's head cook, a woman who just lost a son in the
• 10:01
  Vietnam War. So you know, it doesn't sound like a lot of laughs,
• 10:05
  but there were actually quite a few laughs, and both Paul Jamatty and
• 10:11
  Divine Joy Randolph were so wonderful. Yea, it gave me all the feels.
• 10:18
  It might be my favorite performance from Paul Jamatti, which is saying a
• 10:24
  lot. Yeah, I think it's right up there with his role in Cinderella
• 10:26
  Man for me. Yeah, Okay, I haven't seen so that's a bad
• 10:33
  one. Yeah, you gotta watch that. I know I need to see
• 10:35
  that. But the Golden Gulfs just happened. He just won Best Actor in
• 10:41
  a Musical Comedy, Musical or Comedy nice and Divine Joy Randolph was up for
• 10:46
  it. She did end up winning, but it's fun to see her get
• 10:50
  some recognition because I've been a fan of hers for a while. That's surprising.
• 10:54
  I would have assumed she would have won and he would have been up,
• 10:58
  but not one, you know, sure, based on what I thought
• 11:01
  of their performances. They're both great. I agree, she was so good.
• 11:03
  Yeah, she's just delightful. But yeah, I think it's my favorite
• 11:09
  film of the year. I could have picked all top five of mine as
• 11:15
  my favorite, probably, I agreed. Yeah, this is a kind of
• 11:18
  fluid list for sure. Yeah, depending on mood. And you know,
• 11:22
  it's always hard because it's like a lot of them are so different too,
• 11:26
  like totally compare, you know exactly. I love that. That's a great
• 11:31
  pick. We're so different this year. This is so fun. I know,
• 11:33
  what's your number two? My number two? Uh, speaking of like
• 11:39
  expectations and uh, just glorious experiences in a theater, this was one that
• 11:46
  I'm surprised. I'm not surprised we loved it because the company was delightful.
• 11:52
  But I am surprised because I thought it was going to be fabulous going in
• 11:56
  and it ended up absolutely being that way. I picked Barbie for number two.
• 12:00
  Nice. That is on my top ten. Nice, love it.
• 12:03
  I deeply enjoyed this movie. As you know, you were there to hear
• 12:07
  me giggle through the whole thing and also weep through parts of it. I
• 12:11
  just thought, oh, yes, I can see how it can be a
• 12:15
  little heavy handed maybe for some folks, like with the feminism stuff, but
• 12:20
  as a women's studies major, I was here for every second of that.
• 12:26
  And I think they they tried to do a lot in the movie, which
• 12:28
  I get, but genuinely, I just I really enjoyed it. I thought
• 12:33
  the funny parts were funny. I thought they had some meaning to it,
• 12:37
  and there was some great acting performances. And what a movie for any of
• 12:41
  our movie games that we play in the future, because there's a ton of
• 12:45
  time. It's so many people, it's insane. The cast list is wild.
• 12:50
  But yeah, I just thought it had a surprising amount of depth and
• 12:54
  it it was so fun to see a movie. I recently rewatched it and
• 12:58
  it was so fun. It was so like spoofy and slapstick at the beginning
• 13:03
  and then really turned a corner there and I thought both parts worked a lot
• 13:07
  for me, so totally. Maybe that's not for everybody, but yeah,
• 13:11
  I really had a great time. I loved Barbie, and I thought it
• 13:15
  was so well put together. It was and it really pointed out how ridiculous
• 13:20
  that Matchbox twenty songs was. That one and then there was one other one
• 13:26
  too, right, Like, well there was the can one and then yeah
• 13:30
  there was one other funny one in them. I just can Yeah, but
• 13:33
  yeah, I want to push you a round. Well, it's like what
• 13:41
  I want to take you for granted. I want to take you for granted,
• 13:46
  monster goof. Yeah. I love that they made fun of that side.
• 13:50
  And also, Barbie brought me my favorite gift of twenty twenty three and
• 13:56
  twenty twenty four because I haven't got it yet, No, you have none.
• 14:00
  It's still sitting right over here. I got to get about it.
• 14:05
  Every time you bring it up and you're like, damn it, I go.
• 14:09
  I still again, when you give it to me, I'm gonna be
• 14:13
  surprised because I'll be like, oh, I forgot this was a thing.
• 14:15
  Oh yeah, you told me about this many movies ago. That's right,
• 14:20
  Well you know that's fine. But yeah, I picked Barbie. I thought
• 14:24
  it was awesome, Barbie. I don't know that I'm willing to call it
• 14:28
  Margot Robbie's breakout role, but it's a pretty good. It's not. Yeah,
• 14:31
  she was great, but she was. She was amazing. Everybody was
• 14:37
  amazing. It's funny that you picked that for your number two because my number
• 14:41
  two, uh oh no, also came out that same weekend, The End
• 14:48
  of the Barbenheimer. Yes, exactly, I piked Oppenheimer. It's a masterpiece.
• 14:56
  It's written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Stars. This is an another
• 15:00
  one that's great for the movie game. It's Killian Murphy, Robert Downey,
• 15:03
  Junior, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and about twenty other actors you know
• 15:07
  very well. I thought that the filmmaking was next level. I think Christopher
• 15:13
  Nolan will be getting his first oscar. He's got it because he's almost certainly
• 15:18
  winning Best Director, but I'd imagine he's the front runner for Best Picture as
• 15:22
  well. Yeah, would be my guess. Yeah, it's a weird best
• 15:26
  picture here. I feel like there's a lot of great movies, but like
• 15:31
  not standout, and like we said, they're also different that it's going to
• 15:33
  be hard, But this one, I do think is a standout. You
• 15:37
  have because everything is so amazing. The score by Ludwig Gorenson, Oh yeah,
• 15:45
  is perfect. It adds so much to the film. Having that like
• 15:48
  underlying droning throughout the entire three hours was crazy. It make me uncomfortable.
• 15:54
  Yeah, it definitely adds adds a huge layer to it. The cinemataography by
• 16:00
  hoy Van Hoytim is amazing and will more than likely be seeing an Oscar Win
• 16:03
  as well. Yeah, it's just it's really incredible. I I do need
• 16:11
  to see it again because we both kind of you know, it was really
• 16:15
  loud in the theater that we saw it in. Yes, you know,
• 16:18
  so I do want to watch it again. It's just like it's a lot.
• 16:22
  It takes a lot out of you. I will say this is on
• 16:25
  my top ten, but it's it's not this high. And part of that
• 16:30
  is just like I thought, and I think we even talked about this,
• 16:33
  you know at the time, like I think it is masterful, this movie,
• 16:37
  and I think it's wonderful. It's not my favorite one of his y
• 16:41
  but that, you know, that's not I feel like that says more about
• 16:45
  how much I love the other ones and not like this one fell short or
• 16:49
  anything, you know, because like his body of work is incredibly impressive and
• 16:53
  the like the explosion is incredible. I have pooped my pants in the theater
• 17:02
  one because it was so loud, and two it was insane, like it
• 17:06
  was so cool. But yeah, what a what a movie. Absolutely,
• 17:11
  I should rewatch that soon. Well, we'll probably I should do an episode
• 17:15
  on it. If it went's best picture, it's a lot, it'll be
• 17:17
  great. It would be my guest. I mean, if I had to
• 17:18
  put money on it, that would be my guess. But yeah, yeah,
• 17:23
  I love that. Yeah, we had Barbenheimer for number two. I
• 17:27
  enjoyed that very much. Barbenheimer. Nice, do you want to do your
• 17:32
  three or do you want me to do three? You go for it,
• 17:34
  let's keep going, all right? I love it. Yeah, this I
• 17:38
  fall victim to a recency bias a lot, So forgive me if that's what
• 17:42
  this is. But I really enjoyed this movie. Just saw it recently.
• 17:48
  American Fiction, which has a twenty twenty three release date, was fantastic.
• 17:55
  I loved this movie a ton. Have you seen this yet? Have you
• 17:59
  had the chance have seen this? Oh? That was the movie that I
• 18:04
  had expectations going in to see. Oh no, it was more that from
• 18:10
  the preview, I thought it was going to be one movie, and then
• 18:12
  it really was different with that. Yeah, the preview. I feel lucky
• 18:18
  that I saw the previews so long ago that I was like, yeah,
• 18:21
  I didn't have that because I agree. I watched it again later and I
• 18:25
  was like, huh, that's not what I thought we were getting. And
• 18:27
  that's right. It ended up being beautiful. But yeah, I can understand
• 18:33
  that for sure. Yeah, so that's on my honorable mention. But it
• 18:37
  is a fantastic film, such a great movie. Jeffrey Wright is fantastic in
• 18:41
  it. For folks who want like the Elevator pitch, the story is Jeffrey
• 18:45
  Wright is a writer and professor I believe right that you know, writes these
• 18:53
  books and they're not like super critically acclaimed. He has like a medium amount
• 18:57
  of success in life and you know whatever. But he's a black guy obviously,
• 19:03
  and the like publishers, I guess all want books written from the black
• 19:11
  perspective, and he is struggling with what that means and kind of shining against
• 19:17
  it. And he ends up writing a book based off of other books that
• 19:22
  he thinks are silly from that voice and genre. Yeah yeah, right,
• 19:30
  like as a joke or as like an fu and it ends up being very
• 19:33
  popular and people love it right away, and so he has to kind of
• 19:37
  live this double life. And there's a lot of fun like him, you
• 19:42
  know, like one having pride in what he does, but also like hating
• 19:48
  it a little bit and having to, you know, like say that it's
• 19:51
  silly and dumb and whatever and getting the success. But there's also this other
• 19:56
  story that just talks about his life in general and interaction with his family and
• 20:00
  stuff that I really loved and I totally agree. I didn't know was going
• 20:04
  to be a big part of it. Man, I loved that movie.
• 20:08
  I just it hit me the perfect way. I thought it was fabulous.
• 20:12
  I really really liked it. And Jeffrey Wright is always so good and it
• 20:18
  was really fun seeing him as the main character because that doesn't happen very often.
• 20:25
  Yes, he's like the quintessential character actor that always comes in, crushes
• 20:30
  and leaves where. It was fun seeing him be the main guy. Sterling
• 20:36
  K. Brown was incredible in that movie. Fantastic fantastic and is the other
• 20:44
  author and she's fantastic and into. Yeah, there's just there's a lot of
• 20:48
  great acting in it. It's really fun. I liked it a lot.
• 20:52
  Yeah, nice man. Obviously I picked h number three, but what did
• 20:55
  you have? Three? Number three was crazy. I saw this by myself
• 21:03
  while I was on tour and this is a movie called Poor Things. Oh
• 21:08
  see, this is my big I haven't had a chance to see it yet,
• 21:12
  so like, oh man, but I had to be honest right about
• 21:15
  like what i'd actually seen last year. So yeah, yeah, yeah this
• 21:19
  is And a part of me was even like, maybe that's okay, we'll
• 21:23
  keep something for the Oscar episode where you can like really, you know,
• 21:26
  have something new and fresh. So you loved it. I I in the
• 21:33
  theater. I was like, kind of uncomfortable, but also was just like,
• 21:38
  wow, what am I watching right now? Sure I liked that.
• 21:42
  For people that don't know what it is, it's brought back to life by
• 21:45
  an unorthodox scientist. A young woman runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind
• 21:51
  adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her time, she grows
• 21:56
  steadfast and her purpose to stand for equality and liberation. This was the Yorgos
• 22:03
  lanthemost one who does some pretty out there films, I mean only pretty crazy
• 22:07
  films, really pretty crazy films. Now this one is probably the most tame
• 22:14
  of his films, but still insane. I've never seen anything like it.
• 22:22
  Emma Stone, I think is a lock for Best Actress. Would be my
• 22:26
  guest. Really. Yeah. Wow. She has to do so much in
• 22:33
  this film, including roughly twenty different sex scenes, which I was not There's
• 22:41
  a lot of sexy time, a lot of sexy time, and a lot
• 22:44
  of it is hilarious. That's fun, which like, if you're going to
• 22:48
  have a lot of sexy time and make me feel kind of uncomfortable, at
• 22:51
  least make it funny, which they did quite a bit. A lot of
• 22:53
  hilarious sexy time. The title of my memoirs the story, Yes, yes,
• 23:00
  but honestly, dude, it it's my favorite thing Mark Ruffalo has done,
• 23:04
  which she loves, saying a lot. He was hilarious in this movie,
• 23:11
  and yeah, I don't know. She just has to do so much
• 23:17
  in this movie. And yeah, I can imagine it's not gonna be everybody's
• 23:21
  favorite. I'd never seen anything like it. He proves to keep making super
• 23:27
  original films. Yeah, but it's yeah, it sticks with you, man,
• 23:33
  It's it's a lot, and it's it's it's funny and beautiful and weird
• 23:38
  and yeah, yeah, I was super into it. Nice. I'm gonna
• 23:45
  try and see that soon for sure. Sure you'll have to see it before
• 23:48
  the Oscars. For sure, because it's gonna it's gonna win some stuff.
• 23:52
  Yeah, nice, I love that. Very cool. What's your number four?
• 23:56
  Number four for me? Uh? Again, maybe recency biased, but
• 24:00
  and I don't know if you've even seen this. I'm obviously a softie when
• 24:04
  it comes to young ladies and coming of age, really, but I watched
• 24:10
  Are You There? God, It's Me Margaret and a delightful film. I
• 24:15
  hope that I'm not like raising your expectations too high for this. I just
• 24:21
  think it is wonderfully acted. It's it's a super like lovely story about this
• 24:26
  young girl and just navigating like transitioning to adolescence and all that, you know,
• 24:33
  like a thing we've all done. I've obviously never done it into a
• 24:37
  young woman's body, but you know, there's there's some like tried and true
• 24:41
  tropes in there, and I it's one of the maybe not the first,
• 24:47
  but I was really struck by Rachel McAdams is this young lady's mom, and
• 24:52
  she does such a great job. And I identify with Rachel McAdams so much
• 24:56
  in that sort of like elder that I was like, oh, what a
• 25:02
  what a fun thing. And it's Benny Safti is the father. Yeah,
• 25:07
  Kathy Bates is in it, and the young lady is named Abby Abby Rider
• 25:14
  Fortson, and I knew her as Cassie from ant Man in the Wasp before
• 25:19
  she was replaced. Basically, Okay, she's now been replaced, but she
• 25:26
  does a fantastic job. I actually kind of think she might get nominated for
• 25:32
  some sort of an oscary thing. Maybe it's too like saccharin of a story
• 25:36
  for them to care about, but I think she did a fabulous job.
• 25:40
  There's a lot going on in this, she navigates it all super well,
• 25:44
  and I just I found myself after watching it, I was just like,
• 25:48
  that was lovely, you know, just like, especially around this time of
• 25:53
  year, a lot of these movies can bum you out, you know,
• 25:57
  and this was not that at all. I Mean there's heartfelt moments within it,
• 26:02
  of course, but like overall, it's a very lovely, loving environment
• 26:08
  that she's in, and it's it's pretty great. I really loved it a
• 26:11
  lot. My in laws raved about it. What's they say? Yeah,
• 26:17
  And so that's on a streaming service at this point, right, because it's
• 26:22
  a prome, I think, yeah, cool Primer Hulu, Yeah, nice,
• 26:26
  Yeah, and it was fun. I just randomly watched because it had
• 26:30
  a twenty twenty three release date, honestly, yeah, because I kind of
• 26:33
  missed it, But yeah, I really I totally missed it. Yeah,
• 26:37
  so that's awesome. That's my what was that for? What's your Number four?
• 26:41
  My number four? Another really weird one oh hit And this was another
• 26:48
  A twenty four film, and it started our guy Nicholas Cage, and it's
• 26:53
  called dream Scenario Number four, number four, So for people who don't know
• 27:03
  dreams, it says a family man finds his life turned upside down when millions
• 27:07
  of strangers suddenly starts seeing him in their dreams. However, when his nighttime
• 27:11
  appearances take a nightmarish turn, he's forced to navigate the consequences of his new
• 27:18
  found stardom. It had Nicholas Cage, he was by far the biggest name,
• 27:22
  but they did have Tim Meadows in there, which was really fun.
• 27:26
  Yeah, that was pretty great and a really great kind of cameo role for
• 27:32
  Michael Sarah. But yeah, I kind of loved this movie. I love
• 27:37
  that very original plot idea. It was hard to nail down if it was
• 27:41
  a drama or comedy or a horror, a thriller. It had aspects of
• 27:47
  all of those genres. I thought Nicholas Cage was wonderful. He plays this
• 27:52
  like insecure professor who has pretty big dreams but not a lot of ambition or
• 27:59
  talent, and he like enjoys the attention for a while, and then watching
• 28:04
  him deal with that negative attention and seeing how he handles himself during that is
• 28:11
  very interesting. Yeah, it's It's one that stuck with me for a long
• 28:18
  time. And there is one scene that made me laugh so hard in the
• 28:23
  movie theater. I knew immediately. I was like, that's the one.
• 28:30
  That's yeah. I was like watching it through my fingers because I was so
• 28:36
  embarrassed for him. Yeah, but also just yeah, I was by myself
• 28:41
  in a theater and just fun. That's fun, so full displeasure. I
• 28:45
  thought this movie was really I thought he was fantastic in it. I thought
• 28:51
  it was a super cool idea. It didn't didn't strike me quite the same
• 28:56
  way, and it didn't it didn't make my list, but it is definitely
• 29:00
  worth watching, as all these eight twenty four movies. It's it's weird in
• 29:04
  a very unique kind of way, and I didn't hate it at all,
• 29:08
  you know, like I thought it was really interesting, and he's thinking some
• 29:12
  people did hate it. I see that though, Like it's weird and that's
• 29:18
  where everybody and that's fine, right, No, that's cool. Hit me,
• 29:22
  It hit me the right way. I love that. I love that
• 29:23
  it was fun. That's really cool. Nice. Yeah, dude, what's
• 29:26
  your number five? Number five? For me? This one's kind of chalky,
• 29:30
  I feel like, but Spider Man across the Spider Verse. Yes,
• 29:34
  it feels like it came out a long time ago now, sane. You
• 29:38
  know, I actually kind of want to watch it again, sane. But
• 29:45
  I remember really loving it and obviously, like the animation is amazing. We
• 29:51
  got to see even cooler than the last one. Yeah, like even more
• 29:55
  impressive, insane. I mean, and I remember the story being really great.
• 30:00
  The one like downside I remember about it is I was like, damn
• 30:03
  it, I want the rest, you know, like that was the only
• 30:07
  thing. It very real. It was like a part one. Yeah,
• 30:11
  right, I remember talking about that and I was like, dang it.
• 30:15
  I wish I would have said, because I think I did know it was
• 30:18
  a part of a trilogy or whatever. But yeah, I just I just
• 30:23
  think it's amazing and obviously like star studded cast, super fun, really interesting
• 30:30
  storylines, and we get to meet all these different Spider Man and you know,
• 30:37
  all these things about expectations and you know that we put on ourselves that
• 30:41
  the world puts on us and all that stuff, and I just thought it
• 30:44
  was great and so gorgeous and the like, what was the one, uh
• 30:49
  col where were they? It was like they were in India or whatever.
• 30:56
  What was that Spider Man's name? I can't. I can't that there's too
• 31:00
  many Spider Man, so many Spider Man, but that one specifically, I
• 31:04
  was like the color palettes and like just the ways they tied into the animation.
• 31:10
  Again it's the same as the first one, Like they changed the animation
• 31:14
  based on how that character would be drawn, and so just to like see
• 31:18
  that interplay when they're interacting with each other is so cool. I just I
• 31:22
  just think that's beautiful. And it's like each little frame is its own piece
• 31:26
  of artwork, you know. Yeah, So yeah, I picked that because
• 31:30
  I was just like, wow, am I kidding? I obviously loved this,
• 31:33
  you know, so fun. I think I think mine would be higher
• 31:38
  if I would have rewatched it. Totally totally get better, you know what
• 31:42
  I mean, because it's kind of a distant memory at this point. I
• 31:47
  remember loving it. I remember, I'm not sure, but it's been quite
• 31:52
  a few months since I've seen it and yeah, so yeah, half the
• 31:57
  years and it felt like that. So it wasn't super fresh, but it
• 32:04
  is in my top ten. Oh I love it. Nice? Nice?
• 32:07
  Yes, what do you have for five? Number five is another very interesting
• 32:15
  original movie that was written and directed by Selene Song and it's called Past Lives.
• 32:22
  Oh dude, this is my number six. Nice. We finally kind
• 32:27
  of our crossing. Yeah, we're somewhat close. I love how different our
• 32:30
  lists are. I know this is strange for us. It's not always that's
• 32:35
  fun for people who don't know. It's Nora and hay Sung too deeply connected
• 32:42
  childhood friends, our rest apart after Nora's family emigrates from South Korea. Decades
• 32:47
  later, they are reunited for one fateful week as they confront destiny, love,
• 32:52
  and the choices that make a life. And Greta Lee is the main
• 33:00
  woman who just blew me away in this steels my heart. She's wonderful,
• 33:06
  She's got to be up for something, right, don't you think for sure?
• 33:08
  I mean, I mean she's going to be up and it's almost certainly
• 33:14
  going to be up for original screenplay. I thought Selene's song made me feel
• 33:21
  some things that I was not expecting. Yeah, I heard it was a
• 33:25
  good movie, and I watched it on a Delta flight, so I kind
• 33:29
  of wished I would have had a better experience to watch it. But yeah,
• 33:35
  I love the relationship relationship between Greta Lee and his name was John Mageiro.
• 33:40
  I don't know what my computer sorry, okay, I'm back. My
• 33:45
  screen shut off in the middle of that, and I got very scared.
• 33:49
  Sorry you're here. I was just saying that I loved the relationship between the
• 33:53
  married couple, so Greta Lee and John mageiros. Yeah, he was,
• 33:59
  Yes, totally. He was great because it's like an awkward thing. He's
• 34:02
  got to like she is going to be meaning this long lost friend who they
• 34:07
  like tried to date, and it was. It was very strange, but
• 34:12
  they were very adult about it and just I just have never seen anything like
• 34:16
  that before. I was so happy they went that way with that, Like
• 34:22
  yes, because he showed I feel like they did the perfect amount of like
• 34:27
  there was fraying, you know at the edges, like and there was stress,
• 34:30
  but also like he like you said, they were just so adult about
• 34:36
  like I don't know, I just I loved that, Like just that idea
• 34:40
  of love comes in a ton of forms, and just because it's not what
• 34:45
  we want or think it will be doesn't mean it's not equally important or other
• 34:52
  relationships don't matter, you know, Like I just told, I thought that
• 34:55
  was delicious. I'm one hundred percent with you. That was my favorite part
• 35:00
  was how stressful that was and how they did it in such a way and
• 35:07
  just the tension that Selene song is able to create without like really any dialogue,
• 35:14
  Yeah, is really and not a lot of conflict either, like the
• 35:19
  conflict is what could be, not things that are happening almost or you know,
• 35:23
  like, yeah, I think it's one hundred percent with you on all
• 35:28
  of that. I think it's it rocked my world. It's such a beautiful
• 35:30
  story. It's also a really beautifully shot, like in a very intimate way,
• 35:37
  but that feels like you're you really do feel like a fly on the
• 35:40
  wall for a lot of these shots. And I don't know if it's because
• 35:43
  like I guess I would have to examine it if they did like a lot
• 35:47
  of you know, we just got to see them in the world or what.
• 35:51
  But I one hundred percent agree. I think it's a gorgeous film,
• 35:58
  unlike anything else too in a lot of ways, Like it's a story.
• 36:01
  Obviously we've we've seen a lot, right or you know, seen acted out
• 36:07
  a lot, but not exactly this fashion, and like the culture stuff was
• 36:13
  all super interesting. I thought too, of like them sort of splitting both
• 36:17
  in their lives and their culture and you know how we as humans grow with
• 36:23
  our surroundings. But there's also like this core of us and then that whole
• 36:29
  I mean, I don't want to give away the whole movie, but the
• 36:30
  whole like principle that they talk about, you know, of like what the
• 36:37
  title is based on, past lives and things like that, is just like
• 36:39
  amazing, like so gorgeous as a metaphor for existence. I don't Yeah,
• 36:45
  I'm with you. I loved it. I feel like it could even have
• 36:49
  been higher now that I'm gushing about it. But this is a movie.
• 36:52
  If it won Best Picture, I would not be mad even a little bit.
• 36:58
  Yeah, totally. And I did have this up at three initially and
• 37:04
  was like, but I really like I'll bring her down a little bit.
• 37:07
  Sure, but I could have easily had it there as well, I know
• 37:12
  for sure. So I'm with you. So that was your number six?
• 37:15
  Then, oh yeah, so I guess you get to do seven right away.
• 37:19
  Well it'll be my number six. I'm yes, that's how numbers work,
• 37:22
  certainly, Yep, we can also my number six. I don't know
• 37:27
  if you saw this. We haven't talked about it, but I am taking
• 37:30
  number six. Theater Camp. Oh my god, it major lit. I
• 37:36
  loved this movie me too quite make my list though, and now I feel
• 37:40
  kind of sad about that. I kinda loved it. This was another one
• 37:45
  that I watched on a flight. Such a fun because Delta has it.
• 37:49
  So this is a theater camp. It's an eccentric staff members of an upstate
• 37:54
  New York theater camp must band together when their beloved founder falls into a comb
• 38:00
  uh and their beloved founder is Amy Sedaris, which is so great, so
• 38:05
  wonderful. But this was written and directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman.
• 38:12
  Molly Gordon is in the movie. She's one of the main actresses. She's
• 38:16
  had a nice couple of years here big time. Yeah, she's on the
• 38:22
  bear and io at Abiria is also on the bear, and she's in this
• 38:27
  as well. Yes it's Ben Platt is in it, and some other people
• 38:35
  you probably recognize but maybe not know they're totally totally but yeah, so really
• 38:39
  funny film. It really taps into the drama of theater folks. Yes,
• 38:46
  and I you know, I was around theater folks quite a bit in college.
• 38:51
  I was in a couple of the plays, and I just thought they
• 38:54
  did such a great job getting that dynamic agreed and a lot of this feels
• 39:01
  improvised. Maybe it's not, but it feels that way. It just really
• 39:07
  caught me off guard and I want to rewatch it again. I felt like
• 39:12
  it was really fast paced and like the jokes were flying by. But man,
• 39:17
  Ben Platt is hilarious. Molly Gordon was really cool. She's becoming a
• 39:23
  favorite of mine. And yeah, yeah, I just it was a lot
• 39:29
  of fun. I enjoyed it. What a great film, so fun.
• 39:31
  It almost felt like like a slightly more serious, wet, hot American summer
• 39:37
  or something, you know, like that kind of a vibe, you know,
• 39:40
  totally, Yes, I don't know it's still like a lot of the
• 39:44
  fun stuff, but like slightly less an ubsurdist or something, but only slightly
• 39:51
  less you know at points. Yeah, I really liked that movie. It's
• 39:55
  really really fun for sure. Nice, that's a great good work. Thanks.
• 40:00
  I love that. Let's go to your number seven, my number seven
• 40:06
  another well, I guess, another Marvel film, although this was put up
• 40:08
  by the Disney Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three, of course, Yeah,
• 40:15
  I really like this one. This one did make your list, Obviously
• 40:20
  it didn't, And I'm kind of wondering if it's because I might not have
• 40:23
  like really looked at our movies that we looked at. We totally get that,
• 40:29
  because I feel like I kind of feel that way about theater camp,
• 40:31
  you know, in a way like, yeah, there's just so many it's
• 40:35
  sometimes it's easy to forget, you know, or whatever. But yeah,
• 40:39
  I thought this movie was fantastic. Unfortunately, it's another one that we've already
• 40:44
  talked about, so I feel bad about that, but I don't feel bad.
• 40:49
  Obviously. This is a story I didn't know I was going to care
• 40:52
  about when the first Guardians of the Galaxy came out, Like I didn't know
• 40:54
  anything about these characters at all. And man, it was great. I
• 40:59
  mean, I mean, I feel like it's slightly down the list because it
• 41:04
  did feel kind of self congratulatory, you know, for like they really wrapped
• 41:09
  up a lot of things in a nice little bow. But at the same
• 41:14
  time, like, I don't know, art is supposed to be fun,
• 41:16
  so like, if that's what you want to do, do it. I
• 41:19
  don't know, Like I think that's kind of okay, you know. So,
• 41:22
  but the rocket story is amazing. Yeah, his origin story is really
• 41:28
  crazy. It's fantastic. So yeah, and it's making me think of another
• 41:32
  movie I should have had on my list, so now I'm panicking. But
• 41:36
  I really loved it a lot. It had it had all the joy of
• 41:40
  the other Guardians of the Galaxies. It felt very separate from the greater Marvel
• 41:47
  universe to me in a weird way. And I don't know if that's because
• 41:51
  I knew Gunn was leaving after it, and so many of these actors,
• 41:55
  you know, they'd all been pretty like public about that, but not in
• 42:00
  a bad way, just like a, Oh, that's interesting, because I
• 42:02
  feel like we're kind of in a different phase of well, we're literally in
• 42:07
  a different phase. But you know, like we're in a different phase collectively
• 42:10
  with Marvel a little bit so. But yeah, I really liked it.
• 42:15
  I thought it was great. And I yeah, oh my god, that
• 42:22
  cry such a great such a great villain because some of these some of these
• 42:29
  other villains. Yeah, some people didn't like him, and I thought he
• 42:31
  was great. I don't remember that dude's name at all I had, but
• 42:36
  he was super fun. I liked him a lot, and I thought he
• 42:38
  did a good job. Oh yeah, it's CHIKOUDI that's right. We talked
• 42:43
  about him a lot. He's fantastic. I thought they didn't flesh out his
• 42:45
  part a ton, but I thought what he was there for it was he
• 42:51
  was great. And now he was a different kind of villain. He wasn't
• 42:54
  like the I understand where he's coming from villain. He was just like that,
• 42:58
  you suck vilm. You know, right, you're a bad dude,
• 43:01
  like real bad, you know, like, oh you're awful. So yeah,
• 43:07
  but yeah, I picked up for seven for me. Seven for me
• 43:12
  is one that you had number two. I put Barbie at seven. Oh
• 43:15
  I love it. Nice. Yeah, I another one. I could have
• 43:20
  probably had higher as well, but ended up putting it here and really,
• 43:24
  honestly, you kind of hit every single thing that I was feeling about that.
• 43:30
  Sure, sure, yeah, it was really really fun. And Ryan
• 43:34
  Gosling, if we didn't say is such a treasure? I guess we didn't,
• 43:37
  did we? But yeah, he was also amazing. He made that
• 43:42
  movie for me, he really did. He added a ton to it and
• 43:46
  it would be great to make fun of himself, which I think is great.
• 43:52
  I really want to see him sing I'm just ken at the Oscars real
• 43:55
  bad. So I hope that that gets nominated. If the songs that get
• 44:01
  nominated get performed, do you think there's gonna be two that get nominated from
• 44:06
  that movie? Though? I mean she's gonna win it. Yeah, that
• 44:10
  song is that sobel She did not have to go that hard on that song.
• 44:15
  It was so good. They were like, can you make a song
• 44:19
  for the Barbie movie? And I feel like she was like, yes,
• 44:22
  and it will be masterpiece, Like it would be amazing. I've been working
• 44:27
  on this my whole life, totally totally. Yeah, it was really great,
• 44:32
  but yeah, I want to see him saying I'm just ken, real
• 44:36
  bad. Nice love that it could be fun. What did you have for
• 44:39
  your number eight. My number eight was what you had for well, I
• 44:44
  guess I haven't been writing it down. I have, Oh, it was
• 44:45
  your number two. It was the other This is fun. We did the
• 44:49
  Barbenheimer thing twice. That fun, I guess I go first. Never mind,
• 44:55
  it's fine. I thinked Oppenheimer here we talked about already. I think
• 45:00
  it's masterfully done. I just it's not my favorite for some reason. And
• 45:04
  I don't know if part of that is I've read a ton about that era
• 45:07
  and you know, like Oppenheimer himself and all that stuff, so maybe I
• 45:14
  don't know. I don't know what about it didn't strike me. I think
• 45:16
  it's fantastic. I will definitely watch it again, but it didn't. I
• 45:21
  don't know. It just didn't stick as like a fab fabe for me.
• 45:23
  And I don't know why. Top ten though, in top ten, so
• 45:27
  it's yeah, pretty great movies, yeah, top ten, So you can't
• 45:30
  complain too much. So no, My number eight is also one that you've
• 45:36
  already mentioned, and that was a Spider Man across Spider Verse. Love that,
• 45:39
  love that, totally get it for all the things. Yeah, the
• 45:44
  only reason it isn't higher is because it did feel pretty open ended and knowing
• 45:49
  that there was more story to follow, and then just also it's not as
• 45:52
  fresh in my mind. I think if I would have watched it this last
• 45:57
  week that it'd be higher probably, I agree, but most certainly going to
• 46:01
  win Best Animated. I can't imagine anything else. Yeah, yeah, I
• 46:07
  don't know. That's a good question. I mean there's gonna be some movies
• 46:12
  up, but in that same league. I mean, yeah, it's nowhere
• 46:16
  near it, right, Yeah, yeah, that I assume the next one
• 46:23
  will be on our list next year as well, right, because it's incredible,
• 46:28
  I'm sure. Well, yeah, and it's supposed to come out.
• 46:30
  I think it was supposed to come out in March, but it's going to
• 46:32
  be later than that now because of the strike. Yes, I think you're
• 46:36
  right. Don't forget about that one. My number nine is one number nine
• 46:44
  mentioned earlier as well. This is the Holdovers here, Okay, Yeah,
• 46:49
  I thought was a great movie. I really enjoyed it a lot. Yeah,
• 46:52
  for all the reasons you said. I thought I had a ton of
• 46:53
  heart. It was kind of schmultzi and silly at times, but I'm for
• 46:59
  it, Like, I think that's fine and it felt true, you know,
• 47:02
  in that way, and yeah, I totally agree. I think it
• 47:07
  was for sure one of Giamatti's best performances. I just beloved so much,
• 47:13
  you know. Yeah, nice below that, but yeah, just below that
• 47:19
  was fun. What did you have for nine? My number nine is a
• 47:23
  straight up action film and it was John Wick Chapter four. Nice. That's
• 47:30
  my number ten. Oh, that's my number ten? Nice? I love
• 47:34
  that, love that. Yeah? What a movie? Huh, what a
• 47:37
  movie. So it's directed by the same guy who did the other three,
• 47:42
  Chad Stahelski, and those are his four directing credits, which I kind of
• 47:45
  love. That's pretty wild. Yeah, and yeah, Keanu Reeves is just
• 47:52
  incredible in this. He just keeps getting older, but the choreography and stuff
• 47:55
  gets way more intense. So you Keanu Reeves, Lawrence Fishburne, Ian McShane,
• 48:04
  Bill Scar's guard Donnie Yen And it's one of the last things Lance Riddick
• 48:09
  made before he passed. But yeah, the body count in this one is
• 48:14
  astronomical. Hi. Hi, I felt like the final action sequence feels like
• 48:22
  it went on for like an hour and it is non stop action. Actually,
• 48:27
  you might be conservative on that too, because I agree it's crazy.
• 48:31
  It was nuts suit and I noticed that he did a lot of really cool
• 48:35
  things at the time. I've only seen it the one time in the career,
• 48:38
  Yeah, but I remember seeing like a bunch of one shots that like
• 48:43
  required so much choreography and placing people at the right place, Like I can't
• 48:50
  even imagine the amount of work it took to get some of those. Just
• 48:52
  the stare, like the stairway sh like, yes, is yes, insane.
• 48:59
  I mean that honestly, when I was making my list, I was
• 49:01
  like, well, that alone is a top ten you know, that makes
• 49:06
  it a top ten movie. I one hundred percent agree the like the like
• 49:12
  you said, the cast is insane. So many cool shots in this,
• 49:15
  like and they get to shoot it in just the most beautiful places on earth
• 49:19
  basically, yes, so gorgeous and like such a cool story, Like it
• 49:24
  got very like ronane almost, you know, like the that sort of like
• 49:30
  traveling fighter, you know, man without a home western ee motif was so
• 49:38
  present throughout it. I just thought it was fabulous. I really liked a
• 49:43
  lot. It blew me away, and I've loved the other ones too,
• 49:45
  but this one was just I don't know how it keeps like one upping themselves.
• 49:51
  This one felt like a film to me, like in a way.
• 49:53
  The others were great, right, but this one was like, whoa what
• 49:58
  are we doing here? This is incredible? Yeah. And when I saw
• 50:02
  it, Lance Reddick had like just passed and so that was it made it
• 50:09
  it hit a little harder. Yeah, so forgot and those scenes were were
• 50:16
  it hit a little harder, but yeah, because that was like the weekend
• 50:21
  it opened basically right that he had passed. Oh wow, yeah, good
• 50:27
  call. I forgot about that. I love that though you had it on
• 50:30
  your top ten. That's great. Yes, yes, in a tough year
• 50:35
  because there's, like I said, I thought of one since we were here
• 50:37
  that I maybe should have had, But but what did you have? We
• 50:40
  have to finish out your top ten my top ten. My last one was
• 50:45
  a movie that I saw this week and came out last year, and it's
• 50:52
  called Anatomy of a Fall. Have you watched this yet? Now? That's
• 50:55
  on my list of ones I want to see, but I haven't seen it
• 50:59
  yet. Is it so good? Blew me away? So cool? It's
• 51:04
  the little The plot synopsis was just it's a woman is suspected of her husband's
• 51:08
  murder and their blind son faces a moral dilemma as the sole witness. It
• 51:15
  was written and directed by Justine Triett, and it starred Sandra Huller and Milo
• 51:22
  Machado Grainer. It most recently won Best Screenplay and Best Picture Non English Language
• 51:29
  at the Golden Globe. I was gonna ask I thought it was a foreign
• 51:31
  language film, but I couldn't remember. Yeap cool. So one thing for
• 51:37
  an international film that I kind of loved was the main character is German and
• 51:45
  she's living in France. She does not speak French very well, so they
• 51:52
  speak English a lot, and that helps me out so I don't have to
• 51:59
  read the whole movie. There's way to make that happen too, right,
• 52:02
  Yeah, I kind of loved that. Cool, But dude, it's so
• 52:08
  well written. It's it's like a legal drama and a lot of it is
• 52:13
  set in the courtroom as well as in the French Alps, which was really
• 52:16
  beautiful. But it was fun seeing the differences between like an American courtroom and
• 52:22
  a French courtroom. But the performances really set it apart. They don't like
• 52:30
  spoonfeed you on what you think should happen or did happen. It was just
• 52:37
  really well done. I wasn't expecting it to be that good, and it
• 52:40
  was. It seems like it so was that based off a book? Do
• 52:45
  you know? Because it seems like a cool book idea as well. I
• 52:47
  don't know that. I'm not sure. But dude, that kid who is
• 52:52
  blind, he has got a couple scenes in this really just blew me away.
• 53:00
  I love to hear that because I I feel like been circling that one
• 53:02
  and I was like, I don't even know if that's good. I don't
• 53:05
  even know what you know, So that's a good That's a really good use
• 53:08
  to watch it. It's nice. I think it's on the longer side,
• 53:12
  sure, but I was. I was into it. That's cool and a
• 53:15
  lot of the like testimony and stuff. They'd like go into it talking and
• 53:21
  then they would play out the scene. That's cool. That always works.
• 53:23
  I feel that I like that too. Nice. They did a lot of
• 53:28
  really cool things. Highly recommend it. That's very cool. Nice. Dang.
• 53:32
  Okay, Well, honorable mentions, buddy, what are we honorable mentions
• 53:37
  I have? I mean, just just throw out your yeah, just throw
• 53:39
  out your honorable mention. Just go through uh one that probably should have made
• 53:45
  my list. I only watched it this week. I really loved it,
• 53:47
  and I think it's probably okay because we're probably going to talk about it during
• 53:52
  Oscar season a lot. But Maestro is fabulous. Yep, yes, so
• 53:58
  he was so good. They both were so good. They were both amazing.
• 54:00
  Totally agree with that and he Yeah, that movie is really beautiful.
• 54:06
  Also shot interestingly, Yeah, a lot of like stagnant wide shots and just
• 54:14
  like, I don't know, it feels fly on the wally as well.
• 54:16
  It's interesting. Yeah. The only thing that I wish they would have gone
• 54:21
  more into his like career and like specifically totally. It was such like a
• 54:25
  West Side story. Fan was kind of like hoping maybe they do more than
• 54:30
  they really twice Yeah right, they really just kind of focus on their their
• 54:37
  love story, which was beautiful too. Yeah. Did you notice? Yeah,
• 54:42
  the end credits were from the piece that we did in college together,
• 54:47
  which one was it the Chichester Psalms I believe is what they were called.
• 54:52
  Yeah, yeah, anyway, but yeah that was the end. No,
• 54:55
  I did not. I was like, look at that. That's fun.
• 54:58
  But yeah, it had me Bahuan oh new scenes so much great story.
• 55:04
  Uh weirder than that, but another one that'll probably come up as saltburn.
• 55:09
  I don't think people loved that movie. ID of enjoyed it, like we
• 55:15
  texted about it. Oh yeah we did. That's right. It's I feel
• 55:19
  almost dirty for saying I like it, but I kind of like a lot
• 55:22
  of people. A lot of people really liked it. A lot of critics
• 55:24
  really loved it. It was too dark for me. And Homeboy is amazing
• 55:30
  in it. Barry, however you say his last name, but yeah,
• 55:35
  he was. He was really good. I mean, everybody was good.
• 55:37
  That whole family was really good. Dark though, I agree, but man,
• 55:42
  there was some scenes where I was like, am I this is really
• 55:45
  what we're gonna do? Yeah, I get that. There was like three
• 55:47
  or four scenes that straight up grossed me hard. Yeah. The one was
• 55:53
  unsettling. Uh, complete opposite from that quiz Lady, I thought was delightful.
• 55:59
  It's on Hulu. I think it is a delightful movie. Aquafina and
• 56:05
  that's also on mine. Yeah, really nice. No, I loved it.
• 56:07
  You told me to watch it, and I so much. Just a
• 56:12
  nice time, a good time. I liked the marvel Well. I think
• 56:16
  we both did like The Marbles pretty well. You know, I think I
• 56:20
  liked it more than you did, but you definitely did. I had a
• 56:22
  nice time Elemental I thought was a was a blast. I had a really
• 56:27
  nice time watching that movie. That could be up for an award. But
• 56:30
  I kind of agree that's probably gonna be up for Best Animated too. I
• 56:35
  don't think it as a shot, but it'll be another movie that we saw.
• 56:38
  It feels like seven years ago was Air and I liked that quite a
• 56:43
  lot. That was at the top. That almost made my top ten.
• 56:45
  Nice? Nice, Why don't you say some of years now? Yeah,
• 56:50
  Air was one of my favorite movies that I saw this last year. Again,
• 56:54
  it's probably not on my top ten because it came out real early.
• 56:58
  Yeah, that was like a genuine one ride or January February or something like
• 57:01
  that, something like it. It was a long time ago, but I
• 57:06
  was pretty floored by it. And you see on paper, you're just like,
• 57:09
  Okay, so it's Michael Jordan trying to figure out which shoe company should
• 57:15
  go with. It should not be as compelling as it is, sure,
• 57:20
  but I just thought they all were so good in that movie. So yeah,
• 57:27
  really enjoyed that. I really enjoyed a movie called The Clone Tyrone that
• 57:32
  I don't know if you have seen. It was a Netflix movie. Was
• 57:37
  John Boyoega and Tayona Paris from from Marvel's and some other folks. But it
• 57:49
  is out there. It's a crazy story. Jamie Fox is also in it,
• 57:53
  and he's pretty great in it, but really out there. And John
• 58:00
  Biego was really brought it. Man nice, it was fun. I really
• 58:06
  liked the movie BlackBerry. Yeah, I just watched that this week. It
• 58:09
  was fun cool. Wasn't it great? Yeah? I liked it quite a
• 58:13
  lot. It wasn't It was in an honorable mention though, I mean it
• 58:16
  didn't break anything, but I had a great time. I thought, what
• 58:22
  is that Howardton Glenn Howard, Glen Howardson. He was fabulous. He was
• 58:25
  He was really great in that. It was fun seeing him outside of it's
• 58:30
  always sunny, Yeah, and actually doing kind of like a real you know,
• 58:34
  a real role. Really Yeah, maybebe like you should. You could
• 58:37
  probably do more stuff now for sure. No, I don't know, but
• 58:40
  yeah, I like that. I also put American fiction down, which you
• 58:44
  had said, and I had teenage Mutant, Ninja Turtle Mutant Mayhem and I
• 58:50
  quiz lady. So all those yep killers of the Flower Moon was only an
• 58:54
  honorable mention for me. Oh yes, very very long. I feel bad.
• 59:01
  I didn't even like entertain that one. I was really trying to put
• 59:07
  it in my top ten because you know, it's course Ac and it's Leo
• 59:12
  and great did a great job in it. De Niro was fantastic in it.
• 59:20
  But yeah, I didn't. I don't know. I also read the
• 59:23
  book There's That, so I kind of had that going into it. But
• 59:30
  yeah, I very impressive movie right up there? Did you say? You
• 59:35
  probably did and you missed that? Sorry? And she also won yes actress
• 59:39
  as well at the Golden Globes. That is to take a big hard left.
• 59:46
  Sure. I really loved Please Don't Destroy the Treasure of Foggy Mountain.
• 59:52
  Nice you end uppe. I haven't seen it yet. It is just just
• 59:59
  a good time. Like I realize it's not a good movie, but if
• 1:00:02
  you want to laugh and just have a like not think for a while.
• 1:00:07
  I loved that. We really need those kinds of movies to be around as
• 1:00:14
  well. A hundred percent totally agree. Another one that I was debating to
• 1:00:21
  put in kind of my action slot for my top ten was the most recent
• 1:00:25
  mission, Impossible Reckoning Part one. I mean, just incredible stunts that this
• 1:00:32
  guy pulls off. Kind of fell victim to the Part one thing a little
• 1:00:38
  bit too the same right, Yes, totally, but I liked it even
• 1:00:44
  more than I thought I was going to sure, which was really fun and
• 1:00:50
  honestly, I only have a couple more dungeons and dragons. Honor among Thieves
• 1:00:53
  was one that one shocked me that I liked it as much as I thought.
• 1:01:00
  Yeah, totally. I had no expectations going into it. Chris Pine
• 1:01:06
  was so good. Michelle Rodriguez, It's my favorite thing she's done. I
• 1:01:09
  didn't know she was that funny, I guess, straight up funny, fabulous.
• 1:01:14
  Yeah, it was a comedic role and the only other one I put.
• 1:01:19
  I guess I put two more down. I put Leo surprised me.
• 1:01:22
  That was a fun Oh yeah, I didn't get the chance. Nice had
• 1:01:27
  a good time with the kiddos with that. And then just to give our
• 1:01:30
  good friend Benny Alice through reality in there as well. Rich was like a
• 1:01:37
  straight up good movie. Yeah, totally agree, totally, Yeah, Sidney
• 1:01:40
  Sweeney killed it. Nice neither of us, I assume just because it's so
• 1:01:45
  old, because I kind of forgot. But Cocaine Bear came out in twenty
• 1:01:50
  twenty three and that was a January. Both had a great time with that,
• 1:01:53
  so we did we should at least mention it. Yeah, what other
• 1:01:58
  ones that I have that you haven't said? Bottoms, I really liked that
• 1:02:01
  movie is insane worth checking out for sure. And Son, I think we've
• 1:02:07
  talked you and I have talked about him. Tell me about that? What
• 1:02:10
  was that one again? Florence Son is a It's about a gal and her
• 1:02:14
  son weird in England and he's like a teenager. She's trying to find ways
• 1:02:20
  to connect to him and she tries to get him a guitar and he's kind
• 1:02:24
  of like, no, I don't want that, so she's like, we'll
• 1:02:27
  screw you. I'm going to learn to play it, and then it kind
• 1:02:30
  of brings them closer together. And Joseph Gordon Levitt is in it, and
• 1:02:34
  he's just a delightful part. It's just like a like a kind of coming
• 1:02:37
  of age story as well. I think it's an Apple one, I think
• 1:02:43
  if I'm not mistaken, But I really liked it. I thought it was
• 1:02:46
  fun, and that was one I just tried randomly. I didn't know the
• 1:02:52
  lady. I think i'd seen her in a few things, but didn't know
• 1:02:53
  her well, Eve Houston is her name, and not yet. Yeah,
• 1:02:57
  yeah, but she was. She was lovely and it's it's a fun story.
• 1:03:00
  It's really cool. Yeah, I don't know. There's other ones that
• 1:03:06
  have been interesting. Knock at the Cabin was pretty interesting for what it was
• 1:03:12
  not my favorite. I didn't watch that was that m Night? Yes,
• 1:03:15
  yeah, I thought Batista was actually really good on that. In the trailers
• 1:03:20
  he looked good. Yeah, uh yeah. I don't think I need to
• 1:03:24
  bring up any more of these. I saw so many movies this year.
• 1:03:27
  But yeah, yeah, dude, that's awesome. That's our top ten,
• 1:03:30
  buddy, those are Yeah, that was good. I think it's always fun
• 1:03:36
  to say what our least favorite film of twenty twenty three is. It's it's
• 1:03:39
  a little mean for this podcast, Can I just say that I have a
• 1:03:46
  clear front runner. Didn't have to think about it even for a second.
• 1:03:51
  Oh boy, I I did. But I often think it's because well,
• 1:03:57
  one, I'm kind of Pollyanna about projects, just like well, not for
• 1:04:00
  me, and move on. But also, like I try to forget movies
• 1:04:04
  that make me map so quickly. Sure, it's hard for me sometimes,
• 1:04:11
  but I don't. So why don't you go first? Then? Because you
• 1:04:14
  have a clear you have a clear fave. This was maybe all to steal
• 1:04:19
  it because I I don't think you've seen it. I don't think you've seen
• 1:04:23
  it. This was a horrible, horrible film. It was so horrible that
• 1:04:30
  they have ended up getting a sequel green Lit. Oh my god, what
• 1:04:35
  is that? This is Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey you talked about?
• 1:04:43
  Well, it probably because it's twelve bucks to make, right, which
• 1:04:45
  it made. Yeah, it didn't cost anything to make. Oh that's fine,
• 1:04:49
  only are just rolling in the dough. It's been a lot of lists
• 1:04:55
  for worst movie of the year too. For sure, You're one of the
• 1:04:58
  worst movies I've ever seen period, not just not just of the year,
• 1:05:01
  like it was really that's a bummer, but so bad that it's actually really
• 1:05:10
  fun to watch with like a group of people, which is what we did.
• 1:05:15
  Yeah, we were such a show. Oh, get backstage. It
• 1:05:18
  was just backstage before this show. We actually watched in Shipshewana, Indiana.
• 1:05:25
  Nice, but it was truly horrible, and just like scenes that just made
• 1:05:32
  you laugh because it was like, so you know, they'd like cut away
• 1:05:38
  for a second and then you would just see a severed head and it's supposed
• 1:05:43
  to like scare, just like this is horrible. Yeah, this is so
• 1:05:45
  bad, it's funny. So that was pretty easy for me. That's fantastic.
• 1:05:49
  The estimated budget for that film was one hundred thousand dollars. It's about
• 1:05:55
  ninety thousand more than I would wonder they got a sequel. They made five
• 1:05:59
  minus worldwide. Yep, yep. It's a pretty good investment for sure.
• 1:06:05
  I love that. I'm going to say one now that I think there are
• 1:06:10
  some acting parts in this movie that are very good, and there are actors
• 1:06:15
  that I really like in it, and I actually liked the ending, which
• 1:06:18
  a lot of people didn't like. But this movie made me mad while I
• 1:06:23
  was watching it because so many implausible things happened. It was driving me a
• 1:06:27
  little crazy. So, for lack of a better answer, I'm going to
• 1:06:30
  say, leave the world behind. Oh, Okay, did you ever see
• 1:06:33
  this movie? I did. I definitely liked it more than you did.
• 1:06:38
  Yeah, I didn't even hate it. It's so weird. It's such a
• 1:06:41
  weird movie. For me, I'm such a goofball because I was like,
• 1:06:44
  I think Maherschel is great in it. I think it was you know,
• 1:06:46
  like all these people are fantastic. And I liked the ending a ton which
• 1:06:51
  is a big complaint people have. But there's so there's so much manufactured like
• 1:06:59
  tension in it that I was just like, shut up, damn it,
• 1:07:02
  come on, you don't have to do this. This is a pretty interesting
• 1:07:06
  concept. You don't need to like, I don't know, it just felt
• 1:07:11
  not real to me that those parts, Like there were a couple of scenes
• 1:07:16
  that were kind of cringey. The big the most cringey scene was Julia Roberts
• 1:07:21
  dancing in that room. Yes, I was just like, what is even
• 1:07:27
  going in Like they're not being honest with each other, which I get,
• 1:07:30
  but I'm also like, okay, at some point, like you would start
• 1:07:34
  trusting these folks, right, you know, like right, what is even
• 1:07:38
  happening? And then but yeah, it didn't do it for me. I
• 1:07:44
  get it. And one of my qualms was the ending. I felt like
• 1:07:47
  we were so like I was pretty invested at that point. I was like,
• 1:07:51
  what's going to happen, and then I felt like it just ended.
• 1:07:55
  I get what they did, ye, but I also kind of wanted more
• 1:08:00
  and it was already kind of a long movie. It was pretty long too.
• 1:08:02
  I remember thinking that, yeah, and that lasts like yeah, I
• 1:08:06
  don't need to go to the whole thing, but they're like the penultimate standoff.
• 1:08:11
  I was like, this is stupid, this isn't even We're not going
• 1:08:15
  anywhere, and that was that was bugging me. So yeah, that was
• 1:08:18
  my least favorite. It was just I I had a runner up for least
• 1:08:24
  favorite, and it was in your honorable mentions? Oh wait, which one
• 1:08:29
  in Marvels? No, okay, I'm surprised you didn't pick Quantum Mania because
• 1:08:34
  you hated the the little robot guy so bad. I did really well,
• 1:08:40
  what's it called, mo doc or not robot? Yeah? Mo doc?
• 1:08:43
  Yet Yeah, I did hate that so much. I know, I kind
• 1:08:46
  of forgot. I really hated that. But honestly, Sultburn made me really
• 1:08:53
  really yeah, I really, I really really disliked the story a lot.
• 1:08:58
  I thought it was like a beautiful movie. Yeah, whoever made that well
• 1:09:02
  shot? And yeah it was really beautiful. But and the actors were all
• 1:09:10
  great but I I made me feel and maybe this is the wrong way to
• 1:09:15
  watch it, but maybe it was right. I watched it like I was
• 1:09:19
  fresh. It was early in the day, I had had caffeine, you
• 1:09:24
  know, like everything was right. Yeah, yeah, you know, so
• 1:09:27
  that helped maybe, But yeah, sure, I get it for sure.
• 1:09:30
  It's a goofy one. It was like a really even darker talented mister Ripley
• 1:09:36
  for me, which when you said that to me, I was like,
• 1:09:39
  oh God, yeah, that's terrific. And you were right, you were
• 1:09:45
  right. Yeah. Well let's go to more fun things. Yes, what
• 1:09:49
  was your favorite acting performance of twenty twenty three? Are we doving? I
• 1:09:56
  can do both. I can do actor and actress. Yeah, should we
• 1:10:00
  do both? Yep? Okay, uh, well we might have the same.
• 1:10:03
  But I'm gonna pick Divine Joy Randolph for the holdovers. I think so,
• 1:10:13
  And then I think it's I think it's Silly and Murphy for me,
• 1:10:16
  which is weird because I didn't love or Killian. Sorry I always mix it
• 1:10:21
  up too, but I didn't love Hoppenheimer. But I think he's incredible in
• 1:10:29
  it, and he's in I mean, damn near every scene, right,
• 1:10:31
  if not every scene like he's in most of them. And three hour movie.
• 1:10:36
  Yeah, just fraying around the edges the whole time and descending into madness
• 1:10:42
  it seems, you know, like and he's just wonderful. So I think
• 1:10:45
  those are the two I would pick with Well, I'll wait till honorable mention
• 1:10:49
  who would you most? Certainly they are gonna be both nominated. Absolutely,
• 1:10:54
  I think she'll probably get nominated for Best Supporting That is probably true. Yeah,
• 1:11:00
  so yeah, these were also in my my top ten. But I'm
• 1:11:05
  going to say Paul Jamatti for The Holdovers was my favorite acting performance. I
• 1:11:13
  wouldn't be surprised if Killian Murphy wins, like you were saying. But my
• 1:11:17
  favorite, though, is Paul Jamatti. I just yeah, Paul Jamatti is
• 1:11:21
  a real hit or miss for me and big he can be real big,
• 1:11:29
  and this one I didn't feel like he was as big. Made some real
• 1:11:34
  big choices that I it was like where do I look? Which was really
• 1:11:39
  fun nuts, But I just I kind of loved him in this movie.
• 1:11:45
  And for actress, I picked em a stone because she just, uh,
• 1:11:49
  she's really you. You your I want to talk to you after you watch
• 1:11:55
  see what you think. Because I feel like I'm kind of building it up
• 1:12:00
  a little bit. You could go in there and it could be like sure
• 1:12:03
  sultburn maybe you know, but yeah, she's incredible in it. Yeah,
• 1:12:09
  I can't wait to see that. Also, Carrie Mulligan, amazing, amazing.
• 1:12:15
  I kind of didn't do this one from my favorite for some reason,
• 1:12:17
  just this one, but I really liked those all of those anyway, but
• 1:12:23
  oh man, she's incredible. She's definitely gonna be up for sure, no
• 1:12:27
  question. Both both both her and Bradley Cooper from that movie are going to
• 1:12:30
  be up. The thing that I loved in Meisterra that we didn't talk about
• 1:12:33
  was the makeup. The makeup was incredible. They're gonna like they did it
• 1:12:40
  the right way. Maybe there's some other crazy makeup things, but it was.
• 1:12:44
  It added so much to the movie. And you couldn't even tell the
• 1:12:46
  age thing so perfectly, Like, yes, amazing, Yeah, that's a
• 1:12:50
  great call. They have to be a shoe in for makeup. I think,
• 1:12:54
  dude, he just looked like an old dude back with the straight up
• 1:12:59
  liver remarks and stuff, and just like it didn't look like him, Saggy's
• 1:13:04
  skin like it was just it just looked like his skin. He was crazy.
• 1:13:10
  That's a great U. Yeah, what did you pick for your favorite
• 1:13:14
  movie that wasn't released in twenty three that you watched? So this was a
• 1:13:18
  hard one for me this year? This was hard. I put four movies
• 1:13:23
  down, and they're four completely different movies. But the one that I enjoyed
• 1:13:30
  the most and gave me the most joy. Yes, I had never seen
• 1:13:34
  hot Rod and so fine. I love that. Laughed so hard watching this
• 1:13:41
  movie. Love that. I And again it's one of those movies that had
• 1:13:45
  a great movie, but I needed it in my life at that time.
• 1:13:50
  It was great. No, it's a fabulous movie. I love that.
• 1:13:53
  Nice. What was your favorite? So I didn't watch a lot that weren't
• 1:14:00
  repeats for me that were not focus year, so it was difficult. But
• 1:14:05
  I really liked The Guilt Trip, which is such a funny one one and
• 1:14:13
  Seth Rogan. Yeah, and I thought it was just going to be a
• 1:14:15
  terrible movie and like, it's not good. But I really liked it.
• 1:14:19
  But it had a lot of heart to it. It was interesting. I
• 1:14:24
  liked it way more than I thought I would. I really never watched it.
• 1:14:28
  I know I had missed it back in the day because I think I
• 1:14:30
  just saw the preview and was like, I feel like we've seen this movie
• 1:14:34
  a lot. But yeah, I gave it a shot and it was fun.
• 1:14:39
  Ye did you have any runner ups? I did. I picked Rudy
• 1:14:42
  for a runner up because I had never seen that before this year and that
• 1:14:45
  was fun and we got to do a little pot on it. We did,
• 1:14:49
  and otherwise I didn't write down any other runners up. What what did
• 1:14:53
  you have? One that I like, probably would have picked. Sure.
• 1:14:59
  I was so impressed with the peanut butter falcon. Oh, yeah, I
• 1:15:01
  had never seen that. That was really good. I watched an old Bang
• 1:15:08
  June Hoe film called Memories of Murder and that one blew my mind. That
• 1:15:14
  one's really good. And then for whatever reason, I had never seen Sean
• 1:15:17
  of the Dead and that was iver seen the movies right, like way weird.
• 1:15:27
  But for whatever reason, I had not seen that Simon peg movie.
• 1:15:32
  And you know, I've seen other movies like it, you know, that
• 1:15:36
  World's End one that's so similar, And yeah, it was it was fun.
• 1:15:42
  That's cool. I love that. Nice buddy. Well, what do
• 1:15:45
  you think, man, should we do? Should we play a game?
• 1:15:48
  Let's play a game. Let's start this year off right, let's do it.
• 1:15:54
  So I went to X, I guess and which feels weird, saying
• 1:16:00
  still agreed, but asked for people to give me one of their favorite actors
• 1:16:05
  or actresses so that we could do a last man Stanton. It's not fun.
• 1:16:12
  And so I'm going to list off some of these names. Yeah,
• 1:16:17
  let's go the first one. Steve Buscemi okay, which is kind of fun.
• 1:16:25
  Fun, Robert Downey Junior, Gary Oldman. Then I have a bunch
• 1:16:33
  of old folks that I'm just going to go past because we're not good.
• 1:16:38
  We never We're not good at what poles in our repertoire we do. I
• 1:16:45
  got Kate Blanchette, Kathy Bates until the Swinton, Hugh Jackman, Oh,
• 1:16:58
  that's a fun Have we ever done you? We've never done. Hugh Weird,
• 1:17:02
  got Heath Ledger. I'm seeing Ewan McGregor, Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman,
• 1:17:14
  Rutger howerd Fomka Jensen. WHOA that would be tough. Hugh Grant,
• 1:17:21
  Oh nice, uh, our buddy Noel Michael Cyril Creighton, who was also
• 1:17:28
  in American fiction for a second. He is the He was the guy that
• 1:17:34
  he's on the phone talking with him when he decides to change the name of
• 1:17:42
  my pathology and changes it to the F bomb. I love that that.
• 1:17:50
  Oh, that'd be a hard one. He's been in so much good stuff
• 1:17:54
  that would be impossible. Daniel Craig, jack Black, Whoa, Bradley Cooper,
• 1:18:01
  Christoph Waltz, Gene Hackman. Were any of those tripping your trigger?
• 1:18:12
  The one that stood out to me was Hugh Jackman, which I can't believe
• 1:18:15
  we've never done. Hugh Jackman. Yeah, do you think we can do
• 1:18:19
  that? Yeah? I think we can do it. I don't think it'll
• 1:18:21
  go real long, but it doesn't have to. Let's do it. Well,
• 1:18:26
  let's just pick it. Let's do it. Let's do it. I
• 1:18:29
  don't know why that popped out in me. Who sent you that one?
• 1:18:33
  Thank you for saying that. I never remember. So let's all let's all
• 1:18:39
  be shocked that I did this one time. I love that you remember that.
• 1:18:45
  I had just gotten hot of there. So, Hugh Jackman, this
• 1:18:50
  is Aria Underscore V six. So thank you Aria, Aria, get that
• 1:18:56
  V six growl or appreciate or song. Yeah, I don't know what you
• 1:19:02
  had, you know, I don't know what you're doing in life. That's
• 1:19:04
  cool, right, I love it. Well, why don't you start it
• 1:19:09
  off for us? Then? Buddy? Okay, huge ackman, I'm gonna
• 1:19:17
  do Logan right away. Smart, very smart. He's in just all those
• 1:19:30
  X Men I know. I just thought there's so yeah. X Men two
• 1:19:40
  I think was just the title for that one. Yep. Three was the
• 1:19:45
  Phoenix one? Right? X Men three something the Phoenix? Oh No,
• 1:19:53
  that's a different one. I don't think it's three. Rise of the Phoenix.
• 1:19:57
  I think was one. I don't remember. The third one was x
• 1:20:01
  I'm gonna give you credit for that because you're gonna win an X Men last
• 1:20:04
  stand. I think the third one. So it's got the three claw marks,
• 1:20:09
  I think if I remember, right, Yep. Cool, God,
• 1:20:15
  there's still more of those. I didn't even think of that. Oh there's
• 1:20:17
  so many. Boy, what are you going to say? Uh, I'll
• 1:20:27
  say X Men first class because he's doing that. Yeah. Is he in
• 1:20:31
  Days of Future Past? I think so? Yeah, I think so.
• 1:20:39
  And then I'm gonna go away from this because I don't know any more of
• 1:20:41
  those except he's in the first Deadpool, right, What were you gonna say?
• 1:20:49
  I was gonna say, well, he did the Wolverine just good call.
• 1:20:57
  I forgot about that. That one nice. Yeah, that's a good
• 1:21:01
  one. Uh. Then I'll say, so those are all the Wolverine ones,
• 1:21:05
  right, So that's out of the way. So okay, cool,
• 1:21:09
  I think so? Or is he an apocalypse? I don't remember about a
• 1:21:16
  poet? Yes, me, neither Oscar Isaac. That's about all I got.
• 1:21:21
  I'm staying away from that because I'm scared. Oh I was. I
• 1:21:27
  just gonna say I just had one. Oh, the Greatest Showman. I'll
• 1:21:29
  say that the Greatest Showman. Yes, that is a good one. I'll
• 1:21:34
  go to the musical routes and say, let me oh, yes, delightful.
• 1:21:41
  Sure was he in? I shouldn't do that yet. Uh well,
• 1:21:50
  that's weird. I feel like I'm already running out of them. I'll go
• 1:21:57
  to the Ace in the Hole and say, Kate and Leopold, there it
• 1:22:00
  is. I knew you would leave there for me anyway. I had to
• 1:22:06
  have. I ever told you what I used to do on PlayStation back in
• 1:22:12
  the day that involved movie So there was a short time I would play games
• 1:22:16
  every week with this one squad with Donovan and those guys. Okay. And
• 1:22:21
  this was early on in the streaming world, and it used to like show
• 1:22:27
  people on your friends list what you were watching on like Netflix or whatever.
• 1:22:31
  And there was one time where it was I was watching Kate Leopold and the
• 1:22:35
  guy like was making fun of me, and I was like, no,
• 1:22:38
  it's an amazing movie. I love that movie. And so then from for
• 1:22:43
  like every four month period, I would lock in early and just start watching
• 1:22:47
  the part of Kate Leopold so that he would see me watching that every time
• 1:22:51
  he came up. You really committed to the d and I mean he for
• 1:22:59
  sure thought it was like ten percent as funny as I thought it was.
• 1:23:01
  But I was having a fab time. It was absolutely worth it for you.
• 1:23:06
  Sorry for the aside there, Oh, do not apologize. I love
• 1:23:11
  that so much. He was like, Kate Leopold again, and I was
• 1:23:14
  like, dude, honestly, whenever and maybe I've said this before, you
• 1:23:21
  know, we're deep diving into Kate Leopold. Yeah, but every time I
• 1:23:25
  see Otis on that elevator in Leopold, that movie lives in my head more
• 1:23:31
  than it should, considering how good it was. Yeah, I mean it
• 1:23:35
  was like, ok, it's not good. But Meg ryan Man just a
• 1:23:41
  delight. Leeb Shriver was really good in that. That little her brother who
• 1:23:45
  I never remember his name, but he's like a stoner and everything. He
• 1:23:48
  was good. What's that he's got like a funny name? I can't remember.
• 1:23:53
  I can't remember. You've seen it more than I am. I really
• 1:23:56
  have seen it a lot anyway, Sorry, Yes, that was our Katan
• 1:24:00
  Leopold minute I am. I'm gonna say the Baz Luhrmann film Australia. Oh
• 1:24:11
  good. I never saw Australia. Actually I didn't either, and I feel
• 1:24:14
  like I just saw that they are like doing something with it, and they
• 1:24:17
  named it something else, so I'm confused by it. But yeah, that's
• 1:24:23
  why that one brings Broadway or something. Maybe I don't know. It's almost
• 1:24:29
  like they're going to do a series or something. I'm not sure. I'm
• 1:24:31
  not sure what it is, but it's not called Australia. Yeah whatever,
• 1:24:39
  all right. I feel like a fool because I don't know that I have
• 1:24:45
  anymore. That's weird. I have two more, and it's just not that
• 1:24:50
  many that we know. I you know, I think he spent a good
• 1:24:55
  deal of his time making X Men films agreed, there were a lot covered.
• 1:25:00
  Now I feel like another one he was in the Crucible, but I
• 1:25:06
  don't know if that's actually true or not. Daniel Day Lewis was the main
• 1:25:14
  guy and definitely not that. What's the that was him and Joan Allen is
• 1:25:20
  the adulterer one? No, what's that one called? That one is the
• 1:25:27
  Scarlet Letter. I mean the main guy is Gary Oldman. It's also but
• 1:25:34
  maybe he was the school teacher in one of those, but maybe clearly the
• 1:25:39
  school teacher would be Daniel da Lewis and Daniel Day Okay, ah, well
• 1:25:45
  then maybe I'm just out, which seems insane. It's not that insane.
• 1:25:56
  Yeah, what do you got? I think i'll call it. I don't
• 1:25:59
  know. The ones that I had were prisoners that Denny haven't seen that one
• 1:26:05
  either, which is so dumb, super intense, talk about some tensions.
• 1:26:09
  Yeah. The one that I was like, oh I have another one was
• 1:26:14
  Swordfish. I also never saw that. I don't even know what that is.
• 1:26:17
  Oh yeah, it was him and John Travolta. And this got very
• 1:26:21
  popular because Hallie Barry. Yeah, she's in a very skippy bathing suit.
• 1:26:26
  If I remember correctly. More than that oh more than that. Yeah,
• 1:26:30
  she was a little topless for yeah, less than sure. So that's that's
• 1:26:35
  why a lot of people were talking about Swordfish. I should watch that for
• 1:26:39
  other reasons, then you should, yes, yes. And then one that
• 1:26:44
  just popped into my head was he did this weird movie about like battling robots
• 1:26:49
  and I think it was called Real Steel. Yeah, it was Real Steel,
• 1:26:54
  and it wasn't bad. Honestly, it was not. Yeah, it
• 1:26:57
  wasn't really as bad as I thought. He was like a washed up boxer
• 1:27:00
  and exactly yeah, controlled the room. Yeah, you're right good. And
• 1:27:05
  then there was one more rum com that I thought of. It was him
• 1:27:10
  and Ashley Judd, and I think it was called Someone Like You. But
• 1:27:15
  I'm not one hundred percent sure that was gonna be my last one. I
• 1:27:17
  think you're right on, But that movie was actually kind of cute for around.
• 1:27:24
  Yeah. Oh, I'm definitely gonna watch it now you should. Okay,
• 1:27:28
  let's look at what he's got. He was in something called The Sun
• 1:27:30
  in twenty twenty two. Never heard of that. No, like the child
• 1:27:35
  who is related to you sn reminiscence, didn't see that, Nope, Oh
• 1:27:43
  that he was a voice in Free Guy, which we I maybe should have
• 1:27:46
  remembered. It was a bit part obviously, Okay, Yeah, something called
• 1:27:50
  Bad Education, Oh I did. I watched that. That was he was
• 1:27:58
  a like anciple of a school, or like a higher than that, Yes,
• 1:28:05
  like superintendent. Maybe that's exactly got that. Yeah, Oh funny.
• 1:28:12
  No, I never saw that. Let's see. Uh, something called Missing
• 1:28:15
  Link which looks no appears to be an animated film, The front Runner,
• 1:28:21
  which I never saw, but I have heard of me. Neither the Greatest
• 1:28:26
  Showman Logan. He was an X Men Apocalypse, but as an uncredited part.
• 1:28:33
  We should have got Eddie the Eagle. Oh yeah, that one comes
• 1:28:38
  up quite a bit movie. He was also in something called Pam in twenty
• 1:28:43
  fifteen. Oh, he's just in Chappie, which I don't remember. Didn't
• 1:28:47
  watch that. I liked the Jeppie. I was all right. The wolverene
• 1:28:50
  Oh movie forty three he was in that. I never heard. Oh that
• 1:28:56
  scene, Yeah, he had the hilarious scene. Totally. I totally forgot
• 1:29:00
  about that Rise of the Guardians, the Something of Gallahoole Oh, yes,
