Wow. All right, that's, yeah. No, not blocked by Aguadala. Blocked by James. Blocked by James. What did I just say, bro? Blocked by Aguadala. I'm sure you had a block in I'm sure you did. Blocked by James. Finals MVP on Draguadala. Fragile. Hold on, what? fraudulent. You think Andre does finals and he is fraudulent? Maybe. That's crazy. That's crazy. think a brother's no way he was finals MVP. You're questioning if he was actually a finals MVP? No, I know he was a finals MVP. I'm saying- You're saying it's fraudulent? Yeah. That's all. Alright. This is going to be interesting. you? Gosh, I see. I don't know who to take with the one one. That's it. It's really tough. Yeah. And the thing is, is do I go by characters based on their like? I'm my morality. I I'm going to surely draft based on who I like the characters I like. Like I'm saying based on like morality or just like. that has nothing to do with Yeah. Okay. Because all of his characters are. Yeah that's true. Essentially. Okay. Bad people. in some way. That's true. You know. man, this is tough. I'm gonna take Hans. Yeah, I figured you would. Hans Landa with the first pick. Okay. I'm gonna counter your Hans Landa pick and I'm gonna take Aldo Reign. Yeah, that's a good pick. That's a great pick. That's so good. Getting his Nancy scalps. That is a good pick, but let's just put it on record. It's not as good as the Hans pick. That's the record. Yeah, just put it on Fair enough. And then I'm gonna take Jules in Pulp Fiction, Samuel L. as jewels. Alright, he's got some iconic lines. man. Alright, so I'm looking at looking at like three characters. Yeah, it gets tough here. I'm looking at three characters that I really want to take. I got two picks. I think I'm going to take the bride, Beatrix. Beatrix Kiddo. That's good pick. And then I'm going to take Django. dang it, dude. Yeah, that's dang it. I wanted both of those. I actually I figured you did. I wanted both of those really bad. I figured you did. I'm to take Uma Thurman in pulp. You're going to take Uma Thurman? Mia? that her name? Yeah, that's her name. In Pulp Fiction. And then I'm to take I'm gonna take Samuel Ellis' in The Hate Flate. Okay. I don't know what his name is in that. Sounds like a good character. Wallace? Is that his name? Gosh, I can't remember. I'm not sure. Sounds like a good character. Warren, Marquez Warren. Sounds memorable. Wait, is it my thing again or no? No, because you took... Wait. No, because you took, wait. No, I just took Uma Thurman. Yeah, he just took Mia. So Mia's the character. We're doing a character draft, by the way. We're doing a character draft. I took Mia. He took Uma Thurman and Samuel Jackson. They're not characters. You got two picks to round yours out. Yeah, I got two picks to round it out. The character drafts we're doing. I'm for sure taking Rick Dalton from Once Upon a in Hollywood. that's a good one. Now this gets tough, really tough. Dang, dang dude, this is really hard. got, what are you thinking? I guess I'm, I still have to pick, so. But I mean, you have one pick left, so who are you thinking about picking? I'm thinking about Mr. Pink, which is Steve Buscemi's character. You think about Mr. Pink? OK. He's hilarious. Yeah, he is hilarious. He's the most memorable part of that movie for me. Yeah. There at the beginning of the movie, he's talking about how, yeah, I don't He doesn't want to be Mr. Pink. He's like, I don't tip. Yeah. She did average. What'd do? I've been here two hours, and she only gave me three coffees. I should have six coffees by now. I just really like Steve Buscemi, too. I'm not going to take him though, I'm moving off of Mr. as much as I love his character. Alright, I'm between two characters. I've narrowed it down to two and I'm gonna tell you who they are. I'm between Hickox, which is Fassbender's character in Bastards, just because I love the basement scene. And I'm between Oren and Ishii from Kill Bill. And I think I'm gonna take Oren. Oren? Yeah. That's a valid pick. She's so sick. And just the last scene in Kill Bill is awesome. Bobby's knocking doors. Yeah, that's a good pick. Yeah, I'm taking Oran. Nice. I got one pick, right? Yep. I'm taking Vincent Vega. Yeah, that's who I was. I'm going to pair up. I was going to take. Pair up Jules and Vincent. John Travolta. All right, so I got Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds, The Bride or Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill. I Django from Django Unchained, Rick Dalton from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Oren Ishii from Kill Bill. It's a solid five. What do you got? I've got Brad Pitt as Aldo, Aldo Reign. I've got Jules as, or Samuel L. as Jules in Pulp Fiction. I've got Mia from Pulp Fiction as well, Uma Thurman. I've got Marquez Warren, Samuel and And then my fifth pick I've got Vincent Vega, John Travolta. Nice. Bob just disappeared. Yeah, she's all right. yeah. Let us know who won in the comments. That's a song. He's got some great. Yeah, that was fun. So some other ones I had on my list. So obviously I had Hickox, I Cliff Booth from Once Upon a Time. I guess I ended up taking two from Kill Bill. I was gonna say the reason I didn't take Cliff Booth is because I just picked Rick Dalton. whatever, Cliff Booth. I got Shozana from Bastards, I really like her character. I had Vagga on my list. I had Dr. King Schultz, which is Christoph Waltz in Django. Mr. Pink, I Marcellus from Pulp Marcellus is good too. I had Kelvin Candy, which is Leo in Django. that one too. I had Stephen, which is Samuel in Django. Yeah, he has a funny character. And then you took Jules. I had Jules too. Yeah. Were you thinking? I had a couple of those as well. But then I just had Mr. in In Reservoir? Yeah, sorry, Reservoir, who's also in Pulp Fiction. Alright, so yeah that's our Tarantino characters draft and tell them about what doing next week. Yeah, so we're doing something fun so We've both watched a lot of movies. We both haven't seen a lot of movies. There plenty of movies out there that we have not seen. And so for our next episode, we're going to do a little co-host homework. And I'm going to be giving Andrew four movies to watch assigned viewing for the week. And he's going to be giving me four movies to watch. Basically, the only criteria is just that the ones that I'm giving Andrew, he hasn't seen. And the ones that he's giving me, I haven't seen. Then we're going to pick one that we both haven't seen. Yeah. So we'll see how that goes, we end up picking. But yeah, I feel like that'll be a fun episode and a good way to see some new films. Andrew, what do you got for me this upcoming week? dang. We're going to do it right now. Yeah, we're doing it on that episode. OK, Well, one for sure is the Princess Bride. OK, that's I knew you were going to put that one. Yeah, that is for sure one. I'm trying to like. I kind of want to put like one comedy one. Yeah, you know, that's what I I have that for you. There's a good amount of like I mean, I don't have a comedy, I have like four different genres. Right. That's kind of what I'm trying to go for. But also, like, there's a ton that are really good. Yeah. And I don't. The thing is, like, I don't want to. I'm trying to pick a movie that I think you would like to. Interesting because I don't want to pick just like something that I really like yeah might not like it all so like Yeah, princess bride is like the extent of that because I don't know if you'll like it. We'll see I don't know I'm excited to watch it though. I just About time I watch that darn movie. It's been on my list for a while. Yeah I'm gonna I'm number two. I'm gonna say skyfall Okay, and a question Bond films. Yeah What is the significance? Is that the first one? No. Okay. But it doesn't, they don't really like, they they could be standalone movies. To like, intertwined towards like Daniel Craig's last couple. but I thought about this for a while. I was like What where does skyfall land in the skyfall is Craig's third? Okay, it is quantum of solace or no. He's sorry. He does Casino Royale, which I thought about which is really good. Isn't it really good? Okay And then is there a stinker in between there? quantum assaults. Well. I mean, to the fans, to some people it's not good. really Do you like it? OK. really like it. yeah. OK. Casino Royale, Quantum Assault, Skyfall, and then. Spectre? Spectre, No Time to Die. What one? What is your favorite? Is Skyfall your favorite? Skyfall's my favorite. OK, cool. For sure. It's just a really sick Sam Mendes. Yeah. Deakins? I think so. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's just like if you haven't seen any bonds, I think it's a good intro. it's really cool. And it's like a cool, it's like a good back story for bond too, I think. I'll see where I'm at. mean, I might. Like one on 50s. It's not one on 50. It's not like a It's I know what you're thinking of what I think Bond would be it's not like I think I'll I don't know everything I've seen looks Looks really good. Yeah, and it also is just like I don't know I don't like it's just like I just like it so I think I think you'll like it Okay, I'll see where I'm at. I mean if I if I think I can budget it I'll I will try and watch those three I would say if you want to, would say watch Casino Royale. No, Skyfall is my... I'm watching Skyfall. watch Skyfall. You don't need to see any of the other ones. Okay, alright. But if you wanted to, like Quantos, it's not necessary. That's why I was kind of back and forth. No, I like that. Yeah, but also like, I think the reason I leaned towards Skyfall, was considering Rogue Nation, Mission Impossible. Yeah. because that was really good too. But I think you should make I knew you were going to hit me with one of those too. I think you should watch those. The other ones before. think so. They could stand alone just as easy, but there is more plot. I was looking through your watch list too. Yeah. And I saw bullet train on here. I've seen it. you did? Yes. Sorry. I was thinking, like, I have Skyfall, kind of, that's like... Similar vibes. Similar vibes. Bruce Almighty? You've seen Bruce Almighty? you have, okay. Does it, you just haven't logged it? I haven't logged that one. How about Hachi? No. I don't know what that is. Dog movie? No. Never seen it. Never seen it? No. Man, I Is that on my assignment? I don't know if I want to do it to you.
