  Dead Baden. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky.
• 0:05
  We wouldn't know because we're so happy inside. Some people boo boot on some
• 0:12
  skis, but we would rather sit on down and talk some movies. We're
• 0:17
  the avid indoorsmen, gun, listen to our show. We're the avid indoorsmen
• 0:24
  at home on the go. We're the avid indoorsman. We hope you so
• 0:31
  come on in and stay. We'll do our best to make you smile.
• 0:35
  We're indoorsmen. What is happening? I'm Rob Lundquist and I'm beat, and
• 0:45
  we are the ab An Indorsement. How are everyone? Hello? How are
• 0:50
  you sir? Yeah, I'm doing great, pal, How are you?
• 0:54
  I am so good. I'm so pumped to talk about this movie. Yes,
• 1:00
  it's just it's getting me a little ready for football. I know.
• 1:03
  I love it. Between watching like quarterback and just seeing all these like preseason
• 1:10
  things, I am pumped. I'm ready for some football, dude. So
• 1:14
  many chats about when we're gonna draft. I'm ready. I'm ready to dude.
• 1:19
  It's so great. Yes, I love it. Yeah, I'm with
• 1:22
  you. Super excited and also frankly excited for the autumn weather. Because it's
• 1:27
  been hot. It has been real hot, no joke. It's been don't
• 1:33
  leave the house hot for me. So the last two days for me as
• 1:36
  well. Here I am. If I'm glistening a little bit during this,
• 1:40
  bear with me. You know, I don't know what's I'm fitzing dolling I
• 1:46
  but yeah, I'm also super stoked, buddy, It's gonna be It's gonna
• 1:49
  be super fun. But before we get into all that, what was the
• 1:52
  last movie you watched? So I watched a movie I've been meaning to see
• 1:56
  for quite some time, and I watch Ghosted on Apple TV Plus. Did
• 2:00
  you ever watch a ghost dude? I didn't. It was one of those
• 2:04
  ones where I downloaded it and then it expired and I didn't never watched it,
• 2:08
  and it didn't get like great reviews. I don't get bad reviews,
• 2:12
  even which I think we had the trick where low expectations. I thought it
• 2:16
  was pretty fun. I had a nice time with it. I mean,
• 2:20
  obviously, like the chemistry between the two folks Chris Evans and Anadarmus is lovely.
• 2:27
  Yeah, they've already been in knives out together. Yeah, so fun,
• 2:31
  and they're both so great individually. And they're still really fun this way,
• 2:36
  and it was kind of a flipped story a little bit because she's like
• 2:39
  the badass and he's, you know, the normal person and all that.
• 2:43
  So that was kind of even seen him do that in a long time.
• 2:46
  I was excited to see it and then just didn't watch it. It's fun.
• 2:49
  I think you'll like it. It'll be a good like plane movie and
• 2:52
  all that good stuff. Cool, but yeah, and it's got some great
• 2:55
  action in it too, because they're both pretty bona fide actions stars at this
• 3:00
  point, which is great. And then just like the cameos you'll see in
• 3:06
  this or like just the smaller parts in the cast or are super wild and
• 3:09
  crazy so nice, you're really gonna like it. I think that is gonna
• 3:15
  make me actually watch it, because I hadn't heard anybody talk about it and
• 3:19
  cool. Yeah, I had a really nice time. I thought it was
• 3:22
  a great mix of rom com slash action film, which is basically I think
• 3:27
  what it it's self advertised as, so like, you know, don't go
• 3:30
  and expecting anything super wide and crazy, but you won't have a bad time.
• 3:36
  Cool. Yeah, yeah, how about you. What have you been
• 3:38
  watching? I watched over on Netflix a pretty crazy movie. It's called They
• 3:46
  Cloned Tyrone. Okay, I didn't even know if that I remember heard of
• 3:52
  this. So this is the sci fi thriller comedy with John Boyega, Jamie
• 3:59
  Foxx, and Tayona Paris who we know as Monica Rambo in Juan Division in
• 4:06
  the upcoming Marvels movie. But dude, it's getting or at least when I
• 4:11
  wrote this, it's getting a ninety four percent from critics and one hundred percent
• 4:15
  from audience. Dang, So people are enjoying it. And I don't really
• 4:19
  want to get too far into the plot because it was kind of fun going
• 4:24
  into it cold fun like if the if the title sounds interesting, then yeah,
• 4:31
  I would check it out. It had kind of the same vibe as
• 4:36
  that la Keith Stanfield movie a few years back, Sorry to Bother You,
• 4:41
  where there's like some crazy like conspiracies going on. But yeah, it is
• 4:48
  out there, very different, but it was fun. Man. It was
• 4:53
  a quick watch. It was a really great playing movie for me to watch
• 4:58
  that I ended up really enjoying it. Very cool. Nice. I'm I
• 5:01
  had I haven't had Netflix for the summer, so I'm excited to get back
• 5:05
  into it get inch up on some things. That's great. Yeah, there's
• 5:09
  lots of good stuff on Netflix. Loving it. Speaking of Netflix, have
• 5:14
  you been streaming anything on the other platforms? I have? Yeah, I
• 5:16
  went to Max recently and yes, like you said, we're really getting into
• 5:21
  the footballs. So I was going to talk about this too. Oh really,
• 5:25
  the Hard Knocks, Hard Knocks, Hard Knocks, the Jet season.
• 5:29
  I actually just watched right before we started here, the third episode, so
• 5:33
  I finished. Nice, we're all caught up. I love Hard Knocks,
• 5:39
  dude. I think it's so much fun if you're a football fan. It's
• 5:42
  just a lovely little treat to to kind of see how these folks live and
• 5:46
  you know, the crazy work that they put in and all that. I
• 5:48
  think it's great. I really like it a lot. I agree with you,
• 5:51
  man, And I haven't watched the other seasons, partly just because it's
• 5:56
  like, well, it's another team and I don't care about these other teams.
• 6:00
  But I've seen so many clips from previous seasons. I felt like I
• 6:04
  always got like the headlines anyway of the big things that happen. But dude,
• 6:10
  it's super impressive and it's it's hard to not get hyped for the football
• 6:14
  season. Yes, and it's just it's really makes Aaron Rodgers looks great.
• 6:19
  He's looking like he's just like saving that team and it seems great. I
• 6:27
  mean, I don't know that he's not, but I just you know,
• 6:30
  he's a packer, so we're pretty controversial guy though, and he seems like
• 6:33
  just yeah, go with the flow kind of guy. And I don't know
• 6:39
  that he is that, but that's how he is being agreed agreed. But
• 6:44
  it's really impressive, just like all the different storylines that they're able to go
• 6:48
  through and just it gets kind of dramatic. Man. Yeah. Yeah,
• 6:51
  it's dramatic. It's fun, it's badass, and I hate that. I
• 6:56
  kind of like the Jets now, like I'm like, why say that.
• 7:00
  Am I going to be for me rooting for these guys? Yeah? Yeah,
• 7:02
  but now they have Dalvin, so I know, yeah, I'll be
• 7:08
  I'll be rooting for him always. It's bitter sweet to see him on there.
• 7:12
  Yeah, that's good for him. But Bomber Yeah yeah. The one
• 7:16
  thing I will say is I heard and I don't know if this is true,
• 7:19
  but I heard it that because the Jets didn't really want to be on
• 7:24
  Hard Knocks this year. They had to, they kind of were forced to,
• 7:28
  and they said that they weren't going to show the cuts this year,
• 7:31
  which is usually such a big part of that show. But I don't know.
• 7:35
  So far, it seems like the normal show, So I don't maybe
• 7:40
  that was much much ado about nothing. I haven't shown any cuts yet.
• 7:43
  They've talked about people that need to until the end. Yeah, well people
• 7:48
  have been caught by now. Yeah, you're right, You're right. So
• 7:51
  I guess it is different. But I haven't missed it in the way I
• 7:55
  thought I would, So maybe that's a good sign. I guess. I
• 7:58
  don't know. Or maybe they made it more about Aaron then, because he's
• 8:01
  been featured a lot obviously, so a lot. Maybe they went that way
• 8:05
  and then like the the lesser known dudes or whatever. I realized I just
• 8:13
  read of things. That's a uh And we're kind of going in the weeds
• 8:16
  here. But Corey Davis, the Jets receiver, sounds like he's just stepping
• 8:20
  away and they haven't talked they haven't interviewed him, they haven't talked about Maybe
• 8:26
  was he injured too. I mean, I know he's he's had a rough
• 8:28
  go I think in general, yeah huh, but yeah I saw that just
• 8:33
  today. I think that he was were stepping away or whatever. Yeah right,
• 8:37
  crazy interesting stuff, crazy, but yeah, really fun and I'll get
• 8:41
  here in the football mood if you're ready, Yeah, big ten. Nice.
• 8:46

  we celebrate what is the number anniversary, thirtieth anniversary of a little film called
• 10:37
  Rudy. Ever heard of any Rudy? Ruddy? Yeah, super fun,
• 10:46
  And we decided we had to get a fellow of football enthusiast here with us.
• 10:50
  A guy we know and love, a man who has defied all the
• 10:54
  odds as he went through life and got he got onto Notre Dame himself.
• 10:58
  I bet you guys didn't know that about I played football with him even yeah
• 11:01
  right, Rob also went to Notre Dame with him. Did everybody knows that
• 11:05
  I was the guy yelling Rudy? He was? He was the guy.
• 11:09
  He was the guy. I was the one in the stance that was like,
• 11:11
  he's a little but anyway, all this silliness to say, it's gonna
• 11:18
  be a silly episode. Please welcome back Benny Ellen. What's up, Benny?
• 11:24
  What's up? Gentleman's good to see me. It's so good to be
• 11:30
  back. It's always good to be back. It is. I just got
• 11:33
  to see Benny in person, in me and Roberto in the big n Why.
• 11:41
  I don't think I told you bugs, But he took me on a
• 11:43
  little food tour of mid two I did. We went to three different spots.
• 11:50
  What'd you get? We started Glasshouse Tavern, which was right next to
• 11:56
  where I did waitress and uh oh, I don't love most of their food,
• 12:01
  but they have this one appetizer. It's uh uh truffle risotto balls.
• 12:07
  Oh yeah, with like a dill garlic aoli. Okay, they are yummy.
• 12:18
  I love that trendle anything. I'm there, Yeah, I know,
• 12:22
  and I know truffle is a little you know, controversial in some circles,
• 12:26
  but it's it's pretty it's pretty subtle in those I feel like, oh,
• 12:31
  that's so good. Then we popped over to a place called Impanada Mama that
• 12:37
  just has like thirty different kinds of empanadas. And when we popped over to
• 12:48
  one of my favorite ramen places called I Puto not for ramen though, they
• 12:54
  just have an incredible appetizer menu. And we had some some of their fried
• 13:00
  chicken, some of their chicken and shrimp buns, and and they do they
• 13:07
  do a tuna a spicy tuna roll, but then they but they don't put
• 13:13
  it on this side. They put them all in their faces and then they
• 13:16
  just dumped like a huge thing of tuna tartar basically over the top of it.
• 13:20
  It was so good and it was that's fun. It's not not hungry
• 13:26
  after that, no, quite full. So it was great. But Robbie
• 13:31
  also took us to see Uh good Night Oscar, starring the Minister Sean Hayes
• 13:37
  and it was but it was good. It was so good. I mean,
• 13:45
  man, it was I mean well, I mean as well deserved of
• 13:50
  a tony as I've ever seen. So that's awesome. It was. It
• 13:54
  was wild. It was really cool. And one of his coast is in
• 14:00
  Reality was in the Shoes That's right, which was pretty cool, said that,
• 14:07
  Marshaun Davis. And he was so good in Reality. Yeah, I
• 14:11
  watched it. I don't think I've talked to you since I watched it.
• 14:13
  It's so fun. What a great movie. Really good, I mean yeah,
• 14:18
  such a cool idea too, like the spin they took on it was
• 14:22
  really interesting. I loved everything about it. That was really great. All
• 14:24
  your listeners, if you haven't seen it, check out Reality on Max and
• 14:31
  Benny is killing it in it, and it was really well done. It's
• 14:35
  getting like over ninety percent on rod Tomatoes. Is that right? Wow?
• 14:39
  Yeah? I never even looked over. And usually we do plugs here,
• 14:43
  but Benny just wants us to plug this seg after a strike. Let's help
• 14:48
  them get what they deserve. Yeah. You probably can't really help, I
• 14:50
  guess, but support, Yeah, well we can we can support some way.
• 14:56
  Yea hopefully got nothing. No, no, no on screen acting for
• 15:03
  anyone currently. Yeah. Well I have been auditioning for theater things, but
• 15:09
  to uh to zero avail. So I'm sure everyone is doing that right now.
• 15:16
  Probably, I would think the whole point acting community is doing that,
• 15:20
  and probably commercials right, Yes, commercials are cool. Yes, I have
• 15:26
  audition. I did just have a sweet audition for a football commercial and I
• 15:31
  didn't get it. But I was going to actually ask about that, and
• 15:37
  maybe this is an off air thing, but Leev Schreiber is the narrator for
• 15:41
  hards. Can he do that? Yeah, So here's the thing, anyone,
• 15:48
  you you can still do stuff, but they have to they have to
• 15:54
  get a waiver from a SAG afterra. But but all all that means is
• 15:58
  like they're a bunch of indie films shooting right now, and and obviously like
• 16:03
  Leaves Shriber's thing, but you know what all that means is that they are
• 16:07
  adhering to the things that SAgs trying to get in the strike. Because that's
• 16:12
  why like A twenty four has been able to do whatever they want, right
• 16:15
  because they were like they're a stand up production company and they're like, of
• 16:19
  course we want everyone to have. You know, they probably yeah, they
• 16:23
  probably didn't have this problem to begin with. You know, they just like,
• 16:26
  of course we're praying our people. We were already doing that or whatever.
• 16:30
  Yeah, probably it's different. You know, it's different when it's a
• 16:33
  movie. It's not really a streaming thing. But I didn't know if this
• 16:38
  it was more like in the sports Lane too. I didn't know if it
• 16:41
  would be a thing either, but you know, it might, it might
• 16:45
  be, Honestly, I guess I don't know. I yeah, I would
• 16:48
  assume if anything, they're just adhering. They got a waiver and they're just
• 16:52
  they're doing whatever they need. But it is voiceover, which is a little
• 16:56
  different, Like I'm able to do commercials. So yeah, you know,
• 17:02
  I think he also showed up. I feel like I read that I haven't
• 17:04
  watched. I haven't watched the first episode. Did you watch it run?
• 17:08
  Yep? Yep? And he did show up at practice. It was kind
• 17:11
  of fun. Yeah, that's neat, that's yeah, that's super cool.
• 17:15
  It is Also it's a good hardenes. Is there gonna be a lot of
• 17:19
  like reality TV shows that are going to come out now? Because is that
• 17:22
  a different thing. I don't know. Yes, that is a different thing,
• 17:26
  but I think they have writers and stuff, so they do, they
• 17:30
  do, but I don't think they need them probably as much, right sure,
• 17:34
  you know, I think they can just sort of interesting. Yeah,
• 17:41
  And you know what I would like is if Disney would give up the like
• 17:44
  half a percent of their profits every year and just pay people. That'd be
• 17:47
  cool because if they do what, everyone will do it. I mean,
• 17:51
  look, it's like, I don't think it's even half a percent. I
• 17:55
  think I read something the other day it was like point zero one, two
• 17:57
  three percent or something would meet the requests of the union for their projects,
• 18:03
  which is a ton of money, of course. And look, I can't
• 18:06
  I can't even I mean, I can't even speak to all the numbers per
• 18:10
  se, you know, but clearly these are publicly traded companies that do well.
• 18:15
  And I know it's I know it's not always exactly on paper what it
• 18:21
  is, you know, money wise, and I know there's more to it
• 18:25
  than that, but I mean, I don't think everyone's asking for all that
• 18:30
  much either, so and you know, you know, it just hasn't even
• 18:34
  seemed like Nico, we're going to talk about football this since we're gonna talk
• 18:37
  about football this evening. I'll just transition with you know, like Peyton,
• 18:41
  Peyton Manning was someone who always, you know, everyone talks about Tom Brady
• 18:45
  always took good deals for the Patriots, and you know, Peyton Manning was
• 18:48
  always someone who was like, no, I want to get paid when I
• 18:52
  want to pay like you. You guys are responsible to for the salary cap
• 18:57
  and to make sure everyone else gets what they need, Like I'm getting what
• 19:00
  I need. You know, like these these these streamers and these big companies.
• 19:07
  I'm you know, in my mind, I'm like you, you need
• 19:10
  to figure out how to monetize this amount of streams and views that's not on
• 19:15
  us. We need to get paid fairly for what's going on. You need
• 19:21
  to figure out how how you know you're making money off it. But you
• 19:26
  know, when you have this many eyes on it, it's just it's silly,
• 19:30
  you know. So whatever, this is boring for everyone, Let's transition
• 19:37
  to football. One of the greatest football films of all time, Take it
• 19:44
  away. Let's do it. Take it away, gentleman. Well, before
• 19:51
  we get to that that hot, that hot take, let's have a little
• 19:53
  spicy little synopsis here huh rob okay at you. Rudy Rudiger want to play
• 20:00
  football at the University of Notre Dame, but has neither the money for tuition
• 20:03
  nor the grades to qualify for a scholarship. Rudy redoubles his efforts to get
• 20:08
  out of the steel mill where his father works when his best friend dies in
• 20:12
  an accident there. Overcoming his dyslexia thanks to his friend and tutor d Bob,
• 20:18
  Rudy gains admission to Notre Dame and begins to fight his way under the
• 20:22
  school's fabled football team. Nice nice, very nice. Love that. Let's
• 20:30
  go to Rotten Tomadels and hear what they have to say. Critics have it
• 20:33
  coming in not an awesome but fairly good seventy eight percent. Oh, I
• 20:38
  kind of expected higher, if I'm super honest. Audiences though, have it
• 20:45
  at nineties, so that is much more in line with what I sort of
• 20:48
  assumed. So absolute audience members smarter than critics. Once again, i'd always
• 20:53
  unless unless I don't agree with that. I don't know what critics could possibly
• 20:59
  have to say ill about this movie. Honestly, well, yeah, yeah,
• 21:03
  I hear you. Uh, Well, let's go and we can talk
• 21:07
  about what we think. Now let's do our hot takes. Oh that's a
• 21:17
  hot take. That's a hot take. That was me getting burned. Favorite
• 21:22
  part of the podcast. Look, I don't have anywhere to ask, I
• 21:25
  don't have anywhere to act. So I need this. I need this again,
• 21:30
  a little less up top and then a little more at the end that
• 21:33
  I don't know. You know what I'm gonna tell. I'm gonna tell you
• 21:36
  like I tell most directors. I think I got it. Let's move on.
• 21:41
  I think we got it. That's fair. I think we got it.
• 21:44
  I think we can any one take. The ladies call me that,
• 21:48
  and the directors that's why they call moving on. Moving on. Hot take
• 21:56
  for this film. This is the first time I've ever seen this movie,
• 22:00
  So let's get that, which is weird. I don't know why. I
• 22:04
  don't know how. I love football, both to watch and to play.
• 22:10
  It was my favorite sport to play back in the day. Uh, and
• 22:14
  it's just super fun. And this movie is a delight. I actually thought
• 22:18
  I was, and it was kind of pleasantly actually, but I thought it
• 22:22
  was going to be more about his time playing than it was. But honestly,
• 22:26
  like The Runway to that is the bulk of the film, almost as
• 22:30
  like, which is super great. It's super good drama that's happening. Of
• 22:34
  course, we all know mister Aston. I love him dearly because he's sam
• 22:40
  wise, so he can do no wrong in my eyes anyway. But just
• 22:44
  a phenomenal movie, tons of really interesting and fun parts. Maybe a little
• 22:49
  melodramatic at times, but honestly, football is melodramatic at times, so like
• 22:53
  it kind of made sense to me. Uh yeah, everything about it was
• 22:57
  super fun. There was a ton of references I never knew were from this.
• 23:02
  Rob even sent me the one of the guy clapping the gift and I
• 23:07
  was like, oh, I didn't know that was from this, And that
• 23:10
  was such a lovely moment to get to see that, and just like the
• 23:14
  speeches, and you know, Rudy is such an integral part of football culture.
• 23:18
  I feel like, even now, so super super fun to watch this
• 23:22
  and get to relive all that. And yeah, I just thought it was
• 23:26
  super super well made. It's very emotionally lovely, which we'll talk about more
• 23:30
  later, I'm sure, but I really love this movie and I think I'll
• 23:34
  watch it a number of times as the future comes along, because it's it's
• 23:40
  really great. But my hottest take is his name isn't even Rudy, Like,
• 23:45
  what are we doing? And it's no wonder. He's not good at
• 23:48
  football. People who go by nicknames their whole lives are absolute losers. So
• 23:53
  I get it. Good, that's fun. That's a fun one, buddy.
• 24:02
  That's good, very good, very very good one. Buddy. How
• 24:10
  did you so you recognize that music right? That iconic score? Yes?
• 24:17
  Because that and I was like, wow, I've heard some thousand times ever
• 24:22
  from this movie. Crazy Yeah, so hot takes here. Such a great
• 24:26
  sports movie. It was directed by David Antspa, who has given us two
• 24:32
  amazing sports dramas in Rudy and Hoosiers. Another one I haven't seen. It's
• 24:40
  so good. It's like the I hate this Antspa guy. So to be
• 24:44
  honest, if you've seen, if you've seen Hoosiers, like, I mean,
• 24:48
  you know you know right away is the same director, I mean,
• 24:51
  right and fast crossover. Sure it is actually the same writer, so angelo
• 25:00
  it so right and he seems to only do based on true story sports films.
• 25:04
  Sure, it's Coozier's Rudy, the Game of their lives, Mile American
• 25:10
  and bleed for this. That's all he has for his filmography. Well,
• 25:14
  I mean that's a lot. He does a movie like every like, Yeah,
• 25:18
  that's why something. He found his niche and does it very well.
• 25:22
  Yeah. The score is iconic. Uh, it just gets you so amped
• 25:26
  up and you've heard it a million times. But if you want to go
• 25:30
  and see a crazy career, go look up Jerry Goldsmith. Oh my god,
• 25:33
  he's composed like two hundred and fifty films. It's he did like fives.
• 25:38
  He's literally he's like a he's like a John Williams, Alan Silvestry,
• 25:42
  Hans Zimmer kind of guy. He's just in Sanity's bananas. But this film
• 25:48
  is so much fun. It launched Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn. They look
• 25:52
  like babies in this movie. That was really fun. But this is,
• 25:56
  yeah, just an incredible story, very motivated guy who knew where his life
• 26:00
  was headed if he didn't go after his lifelong dream and he listened to people
• 26:06
  tell him his dreams weren't attainable for his whole life and decided to go for
• 26:11
  them anyway. It's very inspiring. I will say, hot take, it's
• 26:18
  probably twenty minutes too long. I feel like they could have probably taken out
• 26:23
  all of that like booster nonsense, since they didn't really go anywhere with the
• 26:30
  love story. He didn't pay off yeah story, I mean, I think
• 26:37
  that's where we were going, don't It does feel like they started and then
• 26:41
  they were like, we don't need a love story, which I don't think
• 26:44
  they did right. But if that is the case, I really think that
• 26:48
  whole booster stuff was just I totally agree, and I always agree with getting
• 26:52
  rid of ten or fifteen minutes if possible. I do think I do think
• 26:56
  it was nice to have yet even one more person who kind of, you
• 27:00
  know, shut him down a little on the way, because you know,
• 27:06
  he gets a little he gets a little redemption even with her, Remember on
• 27:08
  the sidelines at practice, he's Remember I thought that they were going to pay
• 27:15
  that off at the very end, and it was gonna be like a he
• 27:18
  had focused on this singularly his whole life, so once he did it,
• 27:23
  I thought he was gonna then be like, as a sort of I'm moving
• 27:26
  on to the next phase. Was gonna go like see her and talk to
• 27:30
  her or something. I'm just kind of what I thought. I'm not gonna
• 27:33
  lie though I am. I'm actually very with rob I don't mind it in
• 27:37
  the movie. But yeah, so often in these sports movies they try to
• 27:41
  shoot hoorn in sort of the love stories a good point, or even or
• 27:45
  even their love interest or even their wife. I mean, look, women
• 27:48
  have been getting shafted in movies for years with crappy, crappy parts. And
• 27:56
  you know, I'm glad in this movie they just left it at that and
• 28:00
  didn't try to throw in this extra storyline of a girl, you know,
• 28:04
  because it was I just because his love affair is with what he's trying to
• 28:10
  do, you know, he's he's so singularly focused on on on his goal
• 28:15
  and his dreams, and I'm just I feel like a girl would have always
• 28:19
  felt like an afterthought to him. I mean, his girl is an afterthought.
• 28:23
  He leaves her and you know at home, right, you know,
• 28:27
  so I don't think I would have even say agree, I wouldn't have even
• 28:30
  bought him getting derailed because of a girl. Right, So to that end,
• 28:36
  I agree with Robbie. I think all it gives it all, It
• 28:38
  gives us his one more one more little should showed I showed another person that
• 28:45
  you know, he didn't believe in me, right, So yeah, yea,
• 28:52
  we jumped up. Don't be sorry. That's that's all I got though,
• 28:55
  Benny, what's hot? What do you think about this film? I
• 28:57
  mean, I it's been one of my favorite movies forever. I do think
• 29:03
  it's one of the best, certainly one of the best football movies. Definitely
• 29:07
  one of the best sports movies. I know they did they did a Sports
• 29:12
  Illustrated or someone did a top twenty sports movies a couple of years ago,
• 29:18
  like a big publication. I should have looked it up, and Rudy was
• 29:22
  not on it, not in the not in their top and number one was
• 29:27
  Bull Durham, And like, look, I love Bull Durham, you know,
• 29:33
  but I'm just like this movie. I just think it's so wonderful.
• 29:41
  It's a great period movie. I also think I also think football, football
• 29:45
  in general, lends itself to great movies because football is inherent inherently dramatic.
• 29:52
  I mean, each play is gives you like an arc of a story.
• 29:57
  I mean, football is perfect for movies. Probably can have that like set
• 30:02
  up. Yeah, I mean, they in my mind more so than any
• 30:06
  other sport because you know, if you look at one play. It's like
• 30:08
  we have this quiet moment and then we get the play and it builds and
• 30:12
  builds and builds, and then so I just think, already football is a
• 30:19
  great thing, but I you already said it bugs. This movie is almost
• 30:25
  not even I mean, it is a football movie, but football is is
• 30:29
  sort of just the catalyst for yeah, you know, just it's about it's
• 30:33
  about never letting go of what you believe you can do. I mean,
• 30:37
  which I know sounds cheesy, but it's so great to watch this kid desperately
• 30:45
  do this thing that literally no one believes he can do. Yeah, and
• 30:49
  part of it's just part of it's just going to school there, you know,
• 30:53
  even just the devitual going to school there, and you get it from
• 30:56
  his dad and everyone. And so to your point, I think it's it's
• 31:00
  a great just movie about human resilience and triumph as much as football, and
• 31:07
  I mean football again, and just like, don't let anybody else tell you,
• 31:11
  of course your goal should be you know what I mean, don't let
• 31:14
  where you're from dictate what you should do or your background. Yea, it's
• 31:18
  just it's just wonderful. It's like the ultimate you know, I just loved
• 31:25
  the comparison of the guy who was doing what he wanted to do but was
• 31:29
  like this is and I hate it and him who, because that happens so
• 31:33
  much in life, where he's like, I mean, the guy who's who's
• 31:36
  on scholarship because his dad went dad. Yeah he's the of course, forget
• 31:38
  what the character's name is, but he's his dad was paying for his tuition.
• 31:44
  He's a legacy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just that
• 31:48
  that idea, because that happens so much. Right, We get a gig
• 31:51
  and we're like, damn, but I want this other gig, and it's
• 31:53
  like someone else would kill to do this that, you know. But it's
• 31:57
  a great point of it's a great point of even Rudy's different than him of
• 32:00
  just like even he he says, he has scholarships to two big ten schools
• 32:05
  and he still doesn't have the guts to tell his dad, you know,
• 32:08
  what he wants to do, and he's just there just for whatever. And
• 32:14
  Rudy's the complete opposite. I mean, he's yeah, you know so,
• 32:19
  and he makes it happen. So yeah, however he has to do it.
• 32:22
  Yeah, I mean I don't, you know, I don't really have
• 32:23
  a hot take. We've said all the kind of the things, but it's
• 32:27
  just a great anything. It's not even he had the nickname. It's crazy
• 32:31
  about that he has a nickname. His name is Daniel everyone, Daniel everyone.
• 32:37
  I swear to you, I never knew that. How nicknames is a
• 32:40
  big thing in sports. You know, that is true. Like, if
• 32:45
  there's even an inkling of one, you're getting one, you know. Yeah.
• 32:50
  One of our coaches called Robbie Lundy d he No, he called me
• 32:57
  Lenny name in linn Wiz. I was like, hey, it's one quiz.
• 33:01
  He was one. He was one vowel off rob but he had already
• 33:06
  gotten Lenny in his head, so he just called me Lennyn. Dude,
• 33:12
  it's not even that. Uh. It was back in ninth grade, right,
• 33:19
  yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't Mark, Mark, I could
• 33:22
  not tell you. You could say it. I'd be like maybe Lenny,
• 33:25
  sure, but yeah, I don't know. Yeah, Look, Pugs,
• 33:31
  it could have been a lot worse for you, I'm sure, so just
• 33:34
  be fateful. That's just let's just at least everyone assumes my nickname is Pubes
• 33:42
  anyway, so it should have been worse. Pubes, did you say,
• 33:46
  yeah, that has happened a number of times in my life. Cubes.
• 33:53
  Oh god, I'm almost like, yeah, you know, other man,
• 33:58
  pugs, you know better than like, hey, fatty mcfat fat, let's
• 34:01
  go, I got that too. Ill. Sure, but that's sure,
• 34:05
  but at least at least use the one that's stuck. That's true that we
• 34:09
  never call you fatty mcfat fat to your face, So you should be happy.
• 34:14
  I appreciate that. I appreciate that that is what you're in my phone
• 34:16
  as those actually, no, you're in my phone is as never end impossible.
• 34:22
  Yeah, oh yeah, dude, I earned that one. That waitress
• 34:31
  at All was like, is he running a five k tomorrow or something?
• 34:34
  I'm like, no, he's not back and forth with the toilet. He
• 34:38
  certainly is not. Yeah, a lot of dairy base there. Do any
• 34:45
  of us look like we've run a five kve total in our lives? I
• 34:50
  don't apple think so. No, No, cool, more bread sticks though,
• 34:54
  thank you? Yeah, keep them coming. So the sad though,
• 34:59
  Yeah, yeah, I know you keep that. I think you guys we
• 35:02
  should we should go and talk about our favorite acting performance and let's oh the
• 35:07
  dude, the dude, I'm the dude. So that's what you call me,
• 35:13
  you know that, or his dudeness or duder or you know, eldudino
• 35:20
  if you're not into the whole brevity thing. I forgot we were recording,
• 35:22
  Benny, what do you what do you got for your favorite acting performance?
• 35:28
  M I guess I'll go tough one. I guess I'll go Sean Aston,
• 35:34
  Sean Aston, I get that. I mean, look, this we should
• 35:39
  almost just skip this category because this is one of the greatest Tucci movies of
• 35:44
  all time. Yeah, I mean this is the tucciest of the Tucci movies
• 35:49
  that's ever existed. I mean, clearly it's shawna. I mean he's literally
• 35:52
  in every frame of the movie. Yep. I mean they never they they
• 35:58
  literally never. We we are through his eyes start to finish, correct,
• 36:04
  Am I correct? Am? I right? I think so? Yeah,
• 36:06
  Like we don't have one I mean other okay, other than like the individuals
• 36:09
  showing up at the stadium right at the end, which is to see him.
• 36:13
  Yeah, the players going into the office. And yes, that's true,
• 36:17
  that's true, but true. I mean, you know, he's the
• 36:22
  definition of carrying a movie. I mean, he's just and he's just dude,
• 36:28
  Sean Aston. I mean you've already mentioned Sam Wise. I'm a firm
• 36:32
  believer that both Sean Aston and Ian McKellen should have been nominated for Oscars for
• 36:38
  Return of the King wildly snubbed in my opinion. But Sean Ast he getting
• 36:46
  nominated for this? No or no? I mean between this when you think
• 36:52
  of this and like Sam Wise, I mean, God, he emotes on
• 36:58
  screen so well yeah, I mean we'll talk about it later about the bench
• 37:02
  scene. I'm just he's just so heartbreaking. Yeah, Like God, he
• 37:08
  just destroys me. And I mean obviously as Sam Wise, I mean,
• 37:13
  how many freaking times in that trilogy does he just destroy you? Yeah?
• 37:17
  I wonder if he even needed to audition for that. I feel like Peter
• 37:22
  Jackson, just like I watched Rudy, I'm sure like the most noble character.
• 37:28
  I wouldn't doubt that for a second. Yeah, yeah, he's honestly
• 37:30
  watched someone. I mean, I guess I shouldn't say a bigger star,
• 37:36
  you know, I just he's just very talented. Yeah, and so clearly
• 37:40
  it's Sean Aston. I don't think there's really anything to even talk about,
• 37:44
  honestly, yep, yep, very believable. Uh and and really not a
• 37:49
  very believable character for being like, you know, like this guy is so
• 37:53
  pure of heart and so determined, right Like it felt, you know,
• 37:59
  it have been way more over the top, and I felt like he was
• 38:01
  able to keep it grounded and it was actually kind of believable, right.
• 38:06
  I do wonder is there one of those like a movie turned into a horror
• 38:10
  film kind of trailer videos out there for Rudy because he's so single minded?
• 38:16
  True, I bet you could make a really good one where he's like,
• 38:20
  I'm gonna do it no matter what, you know, like nice, it's
• 38:24
  true. I think that'd be interesting. Uh. Yeah, he's amazing,
• 38:31
  he's great. He's got an asked and a talent. I don't know what
• 38:35
  you want for me. I mean you bet you're asked, you bet you're
• 38:38
  asked and he does. Yeah, it is honestly, we should just we
• 38:43
  should just get to Tucci. This is the this is the real conversation.
• 38:51
  Yeah, and it's a tough one. Who you got for this, Ben?
• 38:54
  I mean, let's just pop down this list. John John Favre,
• 39:00
  who is has become? Who is ned Baty? Yep? Crazy? Who
• 39:06
  I believe one An Oscar for uh, I forget Charles S. Dutton,
• 39:14
  who is a total that guy. Yea Chelsea Ross, Yeah, who's also
• 39:21
  amazing and Hoosier's and major League and like he's just one of the greatest you
• 39:28
  know that guy's ever John Beasley the coach, Yeah, the black guy coach,
• 39:36
  who is in another bajillion movies. Yeah, he's been in a lot.
• 39:40
  The other coach, Ron Dean, who's a total Chicago guy. He's
• 39:45
  in like Dark Night and we just saw him in The Fugitive. He was
• 39:49
  one of the cops. He's in every He's in every Chicago movie, yeah
• 39:53
  for sure. Uh. And then Vince Vaughan and Lily Taylor and the priest
• 40:01
  is Roberts and Robert Outdoors Great Outdoors, yes who Also I'm sure I said
• 40:07
  it also reminds me of your dad for some reason. Yeah you did say
• 40:10
  that, Yes, Yeah, he did. Definitely. I like that a
• 40:13
  lot. Yeah, I'm the worst one. Yeah, specifically your dad now
• 40:16
  and Brendan Brendan Gleeson was your dad younger. Yeah, yeah, but I
• 40:22
  mean that that is like the biggest list of like guys you know from stuff,
• 40:28
  right, So I mean, look, I'll just I mean, if
• 40:37
  we're just picking someone, I mean, I'll just pick someone. I'm just
• 40:42
  gonna say Chelsea Ross. Even though this isn't this is not my favorite performance
• 40:46
  of his, but I love him so much. Yeah, I mean,
• 40:51
  clearly, major League is so great. Whenever I see his face, whenever
• 40:55
  I see him pop up, I mean major league, every time he's up
• 41:00
  your butt, Joe Boo forever. Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah,
• 41:06
  So I just I'll let you. I'll let you guys. I'll also,
• 41:09
  okay, I'm gonna say ned Beatty. Also because I grew up with Superman.
• 41:14
  Superman was my favorite movie growing up. Yes, and he's Otis you
• 41:19
  know Otis Bood. You love Deliverance so much. I love delivering like I've
• 41:24
  watched his scene and Deliverance squeal like squeel like a piggy. That's ned.
• 41:30
  I've never seen that. It's okay, he uh, He's incredible. He's
• 41:37
  incredible, and I love I love so much one of my favorite We can
• 41:44
  talk about it in scenes, but I just love so much. He's so
• 41:49
  good in this movie at at at being you know, the dad, but
• 41:54
  but he doesn't take it all the way. He's still a little lovable.
• 42:00
  Yeah. I hate when characters are all one thing, and it's just great.
• 42:04
  He could have another actor could have easily just been like even in the
• 42:08
  first scene when they're all sitting down and he's like, can I do anyone
• 42:14
  else have any questions for me? And you're like, oh, Stern dad
• 42:15
  in the sixth season whatever, And then and then they he goes turn its
• 42:20
  Channel seven and Pete Young. Pete's like, at halftime, can we watch
• 42:24
  whatever? And this is right after he's kind of done Rudy a little yeah,
• 42:29
  and he goes, we only watch one team in this house, isn't
• 42:31
  that right? And he like gives Rudy a little yeah. I just think
• 42:35
  he really he does a good job of being a real person, because someone
• 42:38
  could have someone could have easily just been an dad because there are other and
• 42:44
  we could talk about later. There are other people in this movie who are
• 42:47
  just kind of his brother. For one, I kept wanting him to kind
• 42:52
  of na go and post the question is his whole family because I'm just sorry
• 42:57
  but like, my god, yeah, but I mean, frank Is is
• 43:01
  an a bag for real time. But again, that actor even him,
• 43:06
  like he is just so nasty. The whole time that it gets a little
• 43:10
  unbelievable for me. And I feel like Ned Batty is a good enough actor
• 43:15
  that he even there. Their bench scene is so lovely. Yeah, and
• 43:21
  I love some good about why he might come across this, uh like over
• 43:25
  the top the brother, Yeah, the brother Yep. I'll look forward to
• 43:31
  that. But I'll just I'll end this. I've been talking too long.
• 43:35
  My favorite moment with Ned Beatty is when he comes to the steel mill and
• 43:38
  tells him he guy even Notre Dame and he finally he like says it and
• 43:44
  he yells it out and it's so great and he's like, I'll call you,
• 43:49
  and then he leaves, and Ned Batty just has this little moment where
• 43:52
  he looks at the letter again and looks at the envelope and then he like
• 43:54
  carefully puts it back in the end for us, and you can just tell
• 43:58
  he it's like good to be something. He goes and like puts in a
• 44:02
  Bible or his favorite book at home. It's his new prize possession. I
• 44:07
  love that, yeah, almost like he yeah, he wouldn't let himself believe
• 44:13
  it was possible either, you know what I mean, And like he finally
• 44:15
  was like, Wow, you know, it's just a little acting moment of
• 44:21
  just treating that with such reverence, that letter in the Yeah, so anyway,
• 44:27
  I'm with you. I also picked ned Baby, but my close runner
• 44:30
  up was Charles S. Dutton because he's got He got to show off a
• 44:35
  little bit in this with yea with a great speech, but he also just
• 44:39
  yeah, he got to be a friend of Rudy. You know, he
• 44:45
  didn't want any like praise and stuff when he gave him the key and Helen,
• 44:49
  I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I just I thought
• 44:52
  he it was a lovely performance from him. He's like a that's like a
• 44:57
  borderline like Oscar performance. I feel like he's in some years. Absolutely,
• 45:02
  Yeah, for sure, yea, he could. I love all the people
• 45:07
  you guys have talked about obviously, just to say somebody else. John Favre
• 45:14
  was fantastic in this. I loved him a ton. I actually kind of
• 45:16
  assumed he was going to be a football player, maybe because I've seen the
• 45:20
  replacements too many times or something, but like but I was, yeah,
• 45:23
  I was like, oh, he's like the smart guy. Cool. This
• 45:28
  is like that's such a fun different part to see him in and I just
• 45:31
  thought he was super great and seeing their relationship kind of blossom from I can
• 45:37
  you know, we each have something we can take advantage of with each other
• 45:40
  to like a genuine friendship and you know, an affection for one another.
• 45:45
  It is just lovely. It's really great. I love that that. That
• 45:49
  part was super super fun. And he gets to come in like a baller
• 45:52
  later after he's gone to love which is strange because well we can talk about
• 45:58
  some of the timelines of this movie are strange to me. I'm like,
• 46:01
  yeah, he must just be rich, like because they say it's a bunch
• 46:05
  of rich kids. Anyway, he's just maybe he's just splurging for the weekend
• 46:08
  or whatever. Yeah, that's true. But I'm like, he's only been
• 46:12
  he's he's been gone for like three months a year. No, he's not
• 46:16
  done with law school for sure. Yeah, I guess. I guess it
• 46:20
  was the spring and then it's the probably eight months. Yeah. I'm like,
• 46:24
  he's still in law school. It's not like he went and made it
• 46:28
  big. Yeah. Well, I guess he also was like I'm flying back
• 46:34
  when this happens. So he's got some some money to spend and it's a
• 46:37
  big deal. I think it's more we're just we're gonna make a day of
• 46:39
  it, and yeah, agree, maybe maybe Elsa's got some cash in the
• 46:43
  family. Well they're all at Notre Damn. There's not of course, a
• 46:46
  lot of rudies, right, No, that's true from what it sounds like.
• 46:51
  The bigger time one is I'm like, he goes home and his brothers
• 46:53
  with his girl, and I'm like, he's been gone for like two months,
• 47:00
  three months easy, Like he's literally been gone for a semester. I
• 47:07
  know. But dang, Like, yeah, but he hasn't been into her
• 47:12
  for years, Like, I mean, he kind of was right, But
• 47:15
  no, I'm not hating on her. I'm just it's funny. It was
• 47:20
  fast for his brother too. I'm like tougher on the brother I think than
• 47:23
  her, Like I don't blame her so much. Also, that's the first
• 47:28
  time we go outside the bloodline, so that's the first time we see older
• 47:31
  or that brother as a grown up, which is kind of weird. He
• 47:37
  just kind of pops in. You're like, oh, I forgot he had
• 47:39
  another brother. That's why he had to say say hello to your little brother.
• 47:44
  Seriously, Otherwise, because I didn't I would have no idea. It's
• 47:45
  weird because you've already met you've seen Frank a few times. Sure, sure,
• 47:52
  yeah, it's weird. Yeah. Anyway, well, let's go talk
• 47:58
  about some amazing scenes. There's so many good scenes. I think we should
• 48:00
  pick our favorite one and let's pick the dingas so dingas. It's quite simple,
• 48:08
  really, Vengas NGAs. I can talk about my dingas all night long.
• 48:12
  You're gonna just your dingas, Benny, what's your favorite scene? In
• 48:15
  reality? Holy cow, that's hard. How about we make a deal.
• 48:22
  Let's all let's all leave out the final scene, okay, and we'll pick
• 48:28
  one and then we'll just talk and then we'll just talk about that final scene
• 48:30
  at the end. That's fair because it's kind of silly because clearly the last
• 48:36
  like last fifteen minutes of this movie are like, yeah, the greatest thing
• 48:40
  ever. Yep, God, I'm there's so many great scenes you can It's
• 48:53
  like you can either go acting scene or football scene. Right, I'm gonna
• 48:58
  you know what, I'm just gonna I'm I'm gonna forego it because I don't
• 49:00
  know anything about acting, and I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with the football
• 49:06
  tryout, Tryout. That's that music that's the first time you get it is
• 49:12
  the greatest piece of music I have this. I have this soundtrack. Also,
• 49:15
  I should have said this. I actually wanted to put the soundtrack as
• 49:19
  my TUCCI to be honest, because this is like the greatest sports score of
• 49:27
  all times. This is one of the best scores of all time. Yeah,
• 49:30
  like I would put this very high on my all time scores yep.
• 49:36
  But but specifically, the piece of music that goes over tryouts, it's even
• 49:40
  in on the album of the soundtrack it's called Tryouts. Starts with that like
• 49:47
  flute that very like it just feels like early morning do yeah. And it's
• 49:53
  just one of the sweetest football montages ever. And it starts coach telling him
• 50:01
  to me too. It really does. It's I think more than maybe any
• 50:07
  other football movie captures like like August two days to me yeah uh, and
• 50:15
  starts with a coach telling him, you know about we have this many players
• 50:19
  on scholarship and blah blah blah, and maybe we'll keep two of you and
• 50:22
  and just great great hitting, great just football action. It does not look
• 50:30
  fake. I mean I don't think it is fake. I think they're just
• 50:32
  doing it. So I'm gonna say that. I just it's incredible. That's
• 50:37
  way up there for me too. I also put that down and again I
• 50:40
  think I do think there's a separation of acting scenes and full sure sequences.
• 50:45
  So then an acting scene. My favorite acting scene is the speech from Charles
• 50:50
  U. S. Dutton after Rudy says he's gonna quit. Oh yes,
• 50:55
  and he just kind of it's like whatever that'll be in quotes, I'm sure,
• 51:01
  but everything he says is great. It's the Oscar winner. Yep,
• 51:06
  yep. That would have been had he been nominated. That would have been
• 51:08
  the the clip that they used for sure. And another like a football scene.
• 51:16
  One that hit home hard was when he was in high school and he
• 51:22
  uh, it's the last deal and he's like, so for a lot of
• 51:24
  you, this is gonna be the last time you were a football jersey ever.
• 51:29
  And I we that happened. They had that, our coaches had the
• 51:34
  exact same speech pretty much, and we had like whatever that night that we
• 51:38
  had Benny when we were seniors, and I I was like falling like a
• 51:45
  baby. I cried for like two hours after that game, like a ton
• 51:50
  of bricks. I wasn't really expecting that. But when he went into that
• 51:54
  features, oh god why and he was right, never put pads on again.
• 52:02
  Also, we lost a armstrong and we should have won, and strange
• 52:06
  it was because of our coaches because they were not great. But it's a
• 52:09
  whole another podcast for me. Who But yes, I cried a lot too.
• 52:15
  Yeah, that one hit me hard. And Robbie sat in the locker
• 52:22
  room with our gear on and cried. Same, dude, same. And
• 52:29
  I was actually at UMD because it was a section championship. Oh wow,
• 52:35
  I played my last two my last two years. We ended the season there.
• 52:37
  Well, my season ended there the last two years because I got hurt
• 52:42
  the first year and then the second year we lost. So but yeah,
• 52:45
  just sat in there and stopped. Yeah forever. Good call that that.
• 52:51
  That high schooling is wonderful and I love I love it. One last hit,
• 52:55
  Yeah, the one last hit, and I was cool. I loved
• 52:59
  that. I love Dad the coach. Give him the extra like, hey,
• 53:02
  we're gonna like already you already know, like he's just like a great
• 53:07
  person to have around, right, Yeah, you know totally, So for
• 53:13
  sure, what do you abuse? Uh? I mean all the ones you
• 53:17
  guys said for sure, I also really liked. I guess this is an
• 53:23
  acting scene, but it's a Rudy ghost and talks to not his father but
• 53:30
  the father capital f father, so the Lord and Savior father uh in the
• 53:36
  church, and he's just talking about like I'm running out of time, I'm
• 53:38
  gonna fail, I'm gonna do whatever, and the Father's like, you've done
• 53:43
  great, and he know, he says like I feel like a failure,
• 53:46
  and he's just like, I think you'll find out this is still worthwhile.
• 53:50
  And man, I just was like, that is some that is some wisdom
• 53:53
  that you do not know when you're in college. And I've had so many
• 53:58
  of those moments in my life. And I just thought they both played it
• 54:00
  so perfectly because Rudy, who is not like a he's not a dumb guy
• 54:07
  or anything, and he's pretty like emotionally intelligent, but he just he's blinded
• 54:13
  by his aspirations at that point, and the other guys like, dude,
• 54:15
  I wish you could see what we all see and how much you've done to
• 54:21
  even get here, let alone you know whatever else comes after. I just
• 54:24
  I loved that seeing a ton and it's nice to see the the difference or
• 54:31
  like the juxtaposition of the priest talking to him versus fortune. Yes, the
• 54:38
  grounds keep you know, he's because he's very, very harsh with him and
• 54:43
  like you get your head up your ass like you're yeah, yeah, and
• 54:46
  the priest is so much more gentle with him. But it's the same message.
• 54:51
  It's like, you don't understand what's going on here, like this this
• 54:54
  football thing is is great, but there's a lot more life has changed because
• 55:00
  of you. You you did this. You are doing more for yourself than
• 55:05
  you have any idea, yeah, that you're doing. And also just a
• 55:12
  just a runner up to uh, debob getting asked out or we think he's
• 55:17
  getting asked out by the cute blonde gal and then it's elsa like the wants
• 55:22
  to introduce him, and I was just like, also so much, so
• 55:25
  good on the writers. They have two of those sort of gotcha joke scenes,
• 55:30
  one with her and then his first one with the priest, which is
• 55:35
  such a right, such a great We're just gonna throw in a little a
• 55:38
  little humor here, which is so necessary too because it's pretty heavy. Yeah,
• 55:45
  you know, I mean, there's there's not a lot of levity and
• 55:49
  they get that nice, that nice. I don't want to be a priest.
• 55:52
  Yeah, you know you think I want to be a priest. And
• 55:54
  Favreau helps when he comes in. That's obviously great. Yeah, Avro's face
• 56:00
  and that's it's just so great, motionless wonderful. Yeah, what other ones
• 56:12
  did you guess have? Obviously the team putting their jerseys on the coach's dusk
• 56:15
  can be incredible. Yeah, good call. I've kind of in my brain
• 56:21
  included that and sort of the end sequence. But you're right, that's such
• 56:23
  a great scene. And right before that that line that we'll say, the
• 56:29
  line never mind, we'll say, but I love it, a freaking slow
• 56:32
  clap of him coming back on the field, like so good. There's so
• 56:38
  many good ones. They really they really use their time efficiently in this movie,
• 56:45
  because, like Robbie when you said, you know, the you know,
• 56:50
  cutting out the booster stuff, that's honestly the only the only thing I
• 56:54
  can think of that that feels feels, that makes sense. I mean,
• 57:01
  everything else I feel like is very well used time. I mean, yeah,
• 57:06
  I just you know, he's getting his ass kicked so much, like
• 57:09
  we get it it is, Yeah, yeah, it is totally you're having
• 57:15
  to overcome a lot. It's but because they didn't go anywhere with that,
• 57:21
  that love interest, I'm just like, oh yeah, that was the only
• 57:23
  thing that I could think I agree to take out. I think you're right.
• 57:27
  Yeah, I love I love I love the practicing when he's you know,
• 57:32
  gets wrecked by the offensive lineman and then he slufs his block and he
• 57:36
  gets pissed out of it. Yeah, and the wrecks him. And but
• 57:40
  then after in the parking lot, you know, he's like, you know,
• 57:45
  if I don't if I don't do this, I'm not helping you do
• 57:47
  what you need to do. Got it? And it's like a moment.
• 57:50
  It's like the shift of respect. It's like yes, and and that dude
• 57:55
  towering over him, he's like, but it's it's the moment of Okay,
• 58:02
  we've you know, respect man. Yeah. Yeah, and it's it's awesome.
• 58:07
  Yeah, that's a great scene, A good call. I mean all
• 58:13
  that to say, the last fifteen minutes it is perfect, bro, I
• 58:19
  mean, dude, yeah, no, uh, I feel like this this
• 58:24
  director, you know, Gavin O'Connor is our director. Now who I feel
• 58:29
  like is is this you know he did a Warrior and Miracle and The Way
• 58:37
  Back, and I'm just like, I think of this like I think of
• 58:39
  the last fifteen minutes of Warrior or the Game and Miracle or I'm just like
• 58:46
  or Hoosiers too. I mean, this guy what's what's the director's name,
• 58:50
  an Spa, I mean he Didiers too. I mean, yeah, just
• 58:57
  as well done as as it could be, and well done from a sports
• 59:02
  standpoint, because we all know football very well and the football makes sense,
• 59:07
  right, you know, yeah, yeah, the only way he's going to
• 59:10
  get on the field is if we if we throw this touchdown, which a
• 59:14
  lot of people I don't think would even understand what's going on because because he
• 59:17
  plays defense, you know, and and the whole time I was like,
• 59:21
  are they going to put him in a running back or something? What's gonna
• 59:23
  you know, you know, he probably plays practice special teams all the time,
• 59:28
  so right, you know, they score and then they throw him on
• 59:30
  kickoff team and then and then he gets to go in for one. But
• 59:36
  it's just like so well done. I mean everything about the coach, like
• 59:43
  out of the side of his mouth yelling. Also our guy, uh Chelsea
• 59:51
  Ross. They used to play this clip at the Metrodome during Vikings games.
• 59:57
  He would come up and he would go, no one one, and I
• 1:00:00
  mean no one comes into our house and pushes us around goosebumps. Yes,
• 1:00:07
  play it. They used to play it to me. I know me too.
• 1:00:08
  They used to play at the Metrodome and fights games, and I was
• 1:00:10
  always like, let's rip their let's kill everyone. I love it so much.
• 1:00:25
  Yeah, it's so good and perfect. Andy Goldsmith just lets it rip.
• 1:00:36
  Even even his brother's excited. Yes, everybody, Yeah, and everyone's
• 1:00:42
  crying. I'm crying. John Favreau says, who's the wild Man now?
• 1:00:45
  Which I mean I didn't even understand that, get it, because that's set
• 1:00:51
  up earlier. I've always wondered that, but I thought I missed it or
• 1:00:53
  something. I've watched this a thousand times, and I don't. I think
• 1:00:58
  they accidentally cut some wild Man scene where where where Sean Aston called him wild
• 1:01:05
  man? Because yeah, it's never really made sense, but it's great.
• 1:01:09
  The only thing we're gonna be silly is them gets throwing the touchdown pass.
• 1:01:15
  Yeah, being like, come on, Billy, we're gonna do this.
• 1:01:22
  But he doesn't care. You know, he's already had a disgraceful college career.
• 1:01:25
  They even say it. When he comes out. It's like, whatever,
• 1:01:29
  screw screw you, Dan, Divine really laid into that guy. You
• 1:01:35
  just summed up your whole sorry career right here. If you had half the
• 1:01:39
  hardest word degree, you could have been All American, but instead you just
• 1:01:43
  went for the first team to the prep team. Yeah, that's a good
• 1:01:49
  set talking about They about Kirk Cousins. You know, last practice fixes the
• 1:01:55
  super Bowl. Actually they're like last play of the season and its it's week
• 1:02:02
  three. Don't say it. Just kidding. We're joking. We love you,
• 1:02:06
  joking. We be belated birthday. You're a good man. Oh yeah,
• 1:02:09
  congratulations, welcome to thirty something five five. He's a young man.
• 1:02:17
  Young man right right now. Yeah yeah, let's let's do some quotes,
• 1:02:22
  you guys. Let's do show me the Boddy, show me the show me
• 1:02:34
  some quotes. Oh man, I was, I was gonna say you should
• 1:02:37
  do that fortune speech because you're like, yeah, I do the big one.
• 1:02:40
  I was forgetting to write down quotes. You're an actor, dang say
• 1:02:47
  a couple, say a couple. Okay, yeah, you go for that.
• 1:02:54
  I was we never really talked about Pete, but his buddy in the
• 1:02:58
  beginning, he was very world cast and yes, you know you needed that,
• 1:03:02
  that friendship, a guy who is actually there for him, like the
• 1:03:06
  only guy in his corner. But he's got he's got a pretty great line
• 1:03:09
  in there, and he's like, well, you know what my dad always
• 1:03:12
  said, having dreams is what makes life tolerable. Yes, I thought that
• 1:03:16
  was pretty great. Love that. Oh, no, bugs do the year
• 1:03:22
  five foot nothing one? I got it. Yeah, it's the second line
• 1:03:27
  of that got your head so far up. Yes, your five foot nothing,
• 1:03:30
  one hundred and nothing and he had barely a speck of athletic ability.
• 1:03:36
  And you hung in there with the best college football players in the land for
• 1:03:38
  two years and you're gonna walk out of here with a degree from the university
• 1:03:44
  and Notre Dame. In this life, you don't have to prove nothing to
• 1:03:46
  nobody but yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done
• 1:03:52
  that by now, it ain't gonn never happen. Now, go on back,
• 1:03:58
  yep, yep, that Charles, why didn't we give you an oscar?
• 1:04:05
  Seriously, Honestly, the more we talk about it, the more I'm
• 1:04:09
  like, yeah, we shut up. He was so great. It's kind
• 1:04:12
  of legit. You know, you don't get a lot for these kind of
• 1:04:15
  sports movies are almost like like superhero or like genre movies where I feel like
• 1:04:20
  they people get overlooked, like I personally think. Not to get way off
• 1:04:27
  topic here, but Kurt Russell and Miracle was crazy snubbed for. He was
• 1:04:31
  pretty good. He's good to me, He's not unlike anything he's ever done.
• 1:04:39
  And I'm just I mean, I don't know, Tom Hardy and Warrior,
• 1:04:43
  Are you freaking kidding me? I don't know anyway? Quote yeah,
• 1:04:47
  Charles du Man, Yes, he is so good. That scene that Biggs
• 1:04:55
  talked about where Rudy's talking with father, He's like, Rudy's like, if
• 1:05:00
  I've done everything I possibly can, can you help me? And he says,
• 1:05:02
  Son, in thirty five years of religious study, I've come up with
• 1:05:05
  only two hard yes in controvertible facts. Yep, there is a God and
• 1:05:14
  I'm not him and I'm not him. Good line, it's good, Such
• 1:05:17
  a great line. He is so good. Benny. You got to do
• 1:05:21
  the the ned Baty line when he gets to the stadium, because I've heard
• 1:05:26
  you quote that quite a few times. Yes, I love that line,
• 1:05:29
  which one when he when ned Baty is coming into the stadium and he looks
• 1:05:34
  at the field. Oh, I've never seen something more beautiful than all my
• 1:05:40
  life. This is the most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen, the
• 1:05:44
  most beautiful. We do that one, but we also do you know American
• 1:05:51
  beauty? We do uh. We love to do the bag flowing and sometimes
• 1:05:56
  there's just so much beauty in the world. I can hardly stand it.
• 1:06:00
  Yeah, Taylor, and I still say that time. Oh, dude,
• 1:06:04
  every time I see a plastic bag floating. Every time. It is true,
• 1:06:09
  though, that baby comes in, He's like the most beautiful thing these
• 1:06:12
  eyes have ever seen. And then old Frank comes along and he's like,
• 1:06:15
  let's go Dad. He's like, damn it, Frank, have some joy.
• 1:06:19
  It's not that cool days. Christ like, what Frank, My god,
• 1:06:24
  I'm still working at the mill with you everything world's biggest buzz kill.
• 1:06:29
  Does Frank have any friends? Holy god, it's a joint. And then
• 1:06:34
  seriously, Bro, Frank needs something. Man, he is just the man
• 1:06:44
  now who likes a good story about a bridge. Who invited Frank? Frank
• 1:06:49
  get out of here, killington over here? Sorry? What else you already
• 1:06:58
  said at the Chelsea Ross when he says no one and I mean no comes
• 1:07:02
  into our house and pushes that one's awesome. I love also his one,
• 1:07:12
  you're an All American and our captain act like it. I believe I am.
• 1:07:16
  Yeah, man, I loved that. That was so great. Also,
• 1:07:20
  that's both right before they put all the jerseys on. So okay,
• 1:07:23
  Dan Divine, I'm like, Wow, this is the most leadery thing I've
• 1:07:27
  ever seen in my life. Right yeah, it's just the most standard up,
• 1:07:32
  most stand up thing I've ever seen. He's like, actually, kid
• 1:07:36
  be doing in here. I had to. I've got to make an a
• 1:07:46
  in this class, Rudy says, and then de Bob says, just remember
• 1:07:49
  your sit team leaving and then it shouldn't be a problem. That's like,
• 1:07:54
  that's just smart kid thing to say it. I love that. Uh,
• 1:08:00
  those are the father the priest says, those admissions people. You can never
• 1:08:05
  tell. They're a funny bunch of squirrels. It's good and I've never heard
• 1:08:11
  that, but I love it. That's like hardcore cussing for father. He
• 1:08:17
  had to do some hail Mary's after that. Oh, I do like I
• 1:08:23
  do like Favreau. What's the lapsed Catholic to do? Oh, yeah,
• 1:08:29
  it's pretty funny. I can't say damn no more. Yeah, I can't.
• 1:08:34
  I can't say it. I also I mentioned this early, but it's
• 1:08:40
  in the scene between the priest and him and Rudy and he's like, I
• 1:08:44
  don't care about results. If I don't succeed, it doesn't mean anything.
• 1:08:47
  I'm sure that you'll find that it does. Kid. I just love that
• 1:08:50
  line. Yep, so good, so good. The same captain who is
• 1:09:00
  putting out the the jersey first, he's like, are you ready for this,
• 1:09:04
  champion? I've been ready for this my whole Life's like then you take
• 1:09:08
  us out on the field. It so fun, so good. There's so
• 1:09:14
  man. And he's another reason why Rudy gets out because he has a pick
• 1:09:18
  six, right, that's the same dude, he gets six. That's what
• 1:09:24
  leads to the blowout or which pretty much is the dagger, and then he
• 1:09:28
  runs out. So I'm like, yeah, I'm like, you're not even
• 1:09:32
  gonna, you know, put him on like Jack Chick return team. And
• 1:09:36
  I'm like, well they put him on special team, didn't they. Yeah,
• 1:09:40
  But I'm staying right after that, you know, he runs off and
• 1:09:42
  he's like let him, let him go in, And I'm like, I'm
• 1:09:45
  sure he knows. I'm like, you got the game in the bag,
• 1:09:48
  throw him on return. Yeah, I mean, like gee's Dan Devine relax
• 1:09:53
  man. Yeah. I also love the charlesist in mine just the hey kid,
• 1:10:00
  you ever address, I'll be there. So love that. Yeah.
• 1:10:06
  Man, the more we talk about it, Charles has Dutton just absolutely crushes
• 1:10:10
  the smoothie. Yeah, he really does. That's a good call for sure.
• 1:10:14
  Yeah, he was wonderful. Love. Did you guys have any other
• 1:10:17
  ones? Or should we move on to a lengthy Biggs boohoo moments section?
• 1:10:23
  Good good moments. Strong men also cry strong men also, So I mean
• 1:10:34
  I did just say, like the last fifteen minutes is one of them.
• 1:10:38
  So then I also did that maybe we should talk about maybe we should talk
• 1:10:43
  about when bugs wasn't crying short in this segment, I put eleven on there.
• 1:10:49
  So let's let's get through it. The first one is one that hit,
• 1:10:55
  you know, close to home for me. The high school coach saying
• 1:10:58
  it's the last time they're gonna football uniform, Rudy getting the one last hit
• 1:11:03
  when his teacher doesn't Leaven let him go check out Notre Dame and takes him.
• 1:11:09
  I wanted to beat the hell out of that. Wasn't cool. That's
• 1:11:12
  ridiculous. When his buddy gives him the Notre Dame jacket, just like you
• 1:11:16
  were born to wear that jacket, Pete. Then of course when Pete dies,
• 1:11:26
  Yeah, the funeral and all that, and he has to try and
• 1:11:29
  all that him when he gets accepted. That bench scene when he's reading that,
• 1:11:34
  Ye, my son's going to Notre Dame on the loudspeaker. So great,
• 1:11:42
  that so much. When he makes the team, yep. Of course,
• 1:11:47
  when fortune tells him to go back, he regrets quitting every day.
• 1:11:53
  Yep. When the team puts their jerseys on the desk, this is the
• 1:12:00
  most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen. Yes, and the next fifteen
• 1:12:04
  minutes those are my eleven for sure? What are you going to, Benny?
• 1:12:10
  Well, it sort of goes with him telling to go back, but
• 1:12:15
  slow clap walking back on the field. Yeah, I did count that as
• 1:12:21
  one because I was still crying. You were still crying from his sin.
• 1:12:27
  Wait did they get hard to parse out? You have something? He didn't
• 1:12:30
  say? Yes, you do, Hold on, I do you do not?
• 1:12:35
  I mean, he did really well. Is it him saying goodbye to
• 1:12:39
  John Fava? It is? It is that because I loved like an extra
• 1:12:45
  long hug, didn't lovely and was so good at he almost like is surprised
• 1:12:51
  by it. Yeah, Like he's just like Rudy is so single minded,
• 1:12:57
  but he also really does like up appreciate people helping him, like he's not.
• 1:13:01
  He's not like a you know, so full of himself narcissist that he
• 1:13:05
  can't acknowledge that he's getting a ton of help. You know. I love
• 1:13:09
  that. That's a great point. Yeah, and yeah, I just loved
• 1:13:14
  that. I love Favreau seems almost like surprised that. It's because I feel
• 1:13:19
  like he's he's probably never had that good of a friend either of Yes,
• 1:13:25
  agreed, agreed. Yeah, they're both special to each other, right,
• 1:13:29
  Like none of the good things that are happening for both of them would happen
• 1:13:31
  without the other. And I think that's really beautiful. You're the world man.
• 1:13:35
  No man, when did she when did he? Did he call you
• 1:13:42
  a wild man? At some point? No? I just I just think
• 1:13:44
  he's wild. I don't know, he's so little. Let him go he's
• 1:13:48
  rolling. I love little and he was. They did a good job of
• 1:13:55
  getting clearly he's not a big person, but yeah he is now that he
• 1:14:01
  showed up to college. So uh we're at twelve right now, Bukes,
• 1:14:06
  what do you do you have more? Uh? No, that was it,
• 1:14:11
  that was all you were wicked close. I was really I was really
• 1:14:15
  clocking you there. And I'm I mean, but also, that's that's pretty
• 1:14:19
  much most points of the movies, So I mean, yeah, yeah,
• 1:14:25
  for sure. Like I said, there's less times where you're not getting choked
• 1:14:30
  up than you are. Yes, I'm absolutely true. Sometimes sometimes I get
• 1:14:34
  choked up, even at like the sweet football scenes. But I get choked
• 1:14:38
  up sometimes at movies when I'm just like, this is so awesome. Yes,
• 1:14:43
  not even hype. We call those hype tears. Hype tears. And
• 1:14:45
  I was going to put down the hit Benny's favorite scene, the tryout scene,
• 1:14:53
  just because of that. That's a good point. I love. I
• 1:14:57
  love I love that term hYP hype because I get them in movies. Yeh
• 1:15:02
  uh, where it's not even necessarily the content. I just get emotional that
• 1:15:08
  the filmmaking is so awesome. There's a few times, like just like Moneyball.
• 1:15:14
  I think of there's times in that movie where I'm just like, I
• 1:15:17
  love this they're doing like the phone dude, when when he is seriously just
• 1:15:26
  looking up the stats yea of these guys, the music comes in, you
• 1:15:30
  see, like the different like spreadsheets, and You're like, why am I
• 1:15:35
  getting emotional? Why? Like it happens to me. It happens to me
• 1:15:42
  in comedies sometimes too, And I'm just like, this is this is as
• 1:15:45
  good as this can be performed, you know, I just I don't know
• 1:15:51
  love that, but yeah, hype tears. I like that. I've never
• 1:15:55
  had a term, never had a term for it. Yeah, we had
• 1:15:58
  to come up with one, after all all the movies, The Lord of
• 1:16:01
  the Rings, so many highs, which which one? All of them?
• 1:16:09
  All of them? But returning then it was in the fifties for sure.
• 1:16:15
  Fifty two, yeah, fifty some fifty something, yea too many? We
• 1:16:20
  can all agree, Okay, I believe that Sean Ashton is responsible for a
• 1:16:24
  lot of them. Oh so hence why he got snubbed, and so did
• 1:16:29
  Ian mckillan. That's my favorite character and all of all of fiction ever,
• 1:16:34
  Sam Sam Sam Wise gamgre for sure, pretty good love a good one.
• 1:16:39
  Pretty good. We can talk more about that later. I can't make any
• 1:16:43
  fatty mcfat fish. Thank you, Let's go with you. In the movie,
• 1:16:53
  Rudy is portrayed us to have largely gone into the steel industry after graduating
• 1:16:58
  high school, but in reality, he served four years in the US Navy
• 1:17:00
  as a yeoman on a communication ship which is never mentioned. But it's not
• 1:17:08
  mentioned, but the duffel bag that he carries around with him all the time
• 1:17:12
  when he first gets to Notre Dame has USN on it for United States Navy,
• 1:17:16
  So that was kind of kind of a cool, littlesting point there.
• 1:17:19
  Cool, but yeah, I thought that was interesting. In real life,
• 1:17:23
  Dan Divine was very supportive of Rudy and elected to put him in the game
• 1:17:27
  on his own, but because he considered Rudy a friend, he volunteered to
• 1:17:32
  play a villain in order to get the film green Lip because they must have
• 1:17:35
  thought that they needed that. I guess it's interesting. It's a it's a
• 1:17:40
  cooler story. Yeah. Uh, it's so weird to me because this last
• 1:17:45
  time I watched it, I was I was kind of like, when,
• 1:17:47
  like when again when he when they come in and do the jersey thing.
• 1:17:50
  I'm like, like, what football coach wouldn't be like pumped up by this?
• 1:17:56
  I don't know. I mean, football coaches loved any reason to get
• 1:17:59
  their teams pumped up. I mean, yeah, you know. I'm like,
• 1:18:02
  well, just give him something to focus on it. Yeah, I'm
• 1:18:04
  just like something getting something jacked up about it. I mean, you know,
• 1:18:10
  it's one roscue, you're like fourth string lineman or someone. I mean,
• 1:18:15
  I don't know. Yeah, I get I get told doing it for
• 1:18:17
  dramatic purposes, but I seriously thought about it watching it this last time,
• 1:18:21
  I was like, why would this guy not be into this? And then
• 1:18:24
  at the end of the game when he yells put in the seniors and what's
• 1:18:29
  his nail, teams like, yeah, we put him in. He's like,
• 1:18:32
  I'm like, why would you not that? Why would you kill the
• 1:18:35
  games? I mean, I don't know. The perfect thing. That's what's
• 1:18:40
  interesting is because I totally agree with you on all that. But apparently Dan
• 1:18:44
  Divine was not happy about the scene where the players laid down their jerseys.
• 1:18:48
  It apparently did not happen, and he was like, if that would have
• 1:18:51
  happened, I would have kicked all those people off the team, and it's
• 1:18:56
  like, yeah, that's kind of fair, but it is cool. You
• 1:18:59
  got admit it's cool, buddy. It's a movie. It's a movie.
• 1:19:03
  Also, I'm very I'm very pro fiction. You know. Yes, I'm
• 1:19:10
  not someone who gets but heard about we're bending the truth for movies, you
• 1:19:13
  know. To me, it's the same thing as kind of like punching up
• 1:19:16
  a story of course that you've told for years and years, you know,
• 1:19:18
  like it's just fun based based on a true story. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:19:25
  Basically the crowd scene when Rudy is cheering in the stands is a real game
• 1:19:30
  between Notre Dame and Penn State which was played in the snow during the ninety
• 1:19:34
  two season. And you can see Penn State fans with hats on around him,
• 1:19:39
  which I think is pretty fun. Oh, this was what I was
• 1:19:43
  talking about earlier. According to Rudy, he had no brother named Frank in
• 1:19:45
  real life. The character of Frank is all the people who told Rudy he
• 1:19:49
  couldn't do it rolled into one character. So that might have also been wise
• 1:19:55
  a little one note, that's what you're saying earlier. Yeah, that's what
• 1:19:59
  I was saying, which you know, but I kind of still agree,
• 1:20:01
  like, let's give him a tiny bit of redemption maybe or something. I
• 1:20:05
  don't know. I just don't like when they do that in any movie,
• 1:20:08
  when any characters like yeah, I'm mean, like I'm a character and it's
• 1:20:13
  just like Jesus, like none of us are that. Yeah. I mean,
• 1:20:16
  is this dude a serial killer? Like? I think he's probably cool
• 1:20:20
  with his brother sometimes? I mean, is not that beautiful? Get up
• 1:20:27
  into the most beautiful safe these I's ever seen. Our seats are gonna get
• 1:20:30
  taken. Let's go. I want to get a beer. God, I'm
• 1:20:33
  gonna gouge those beautiful eyes out if you don't get me to some natos now,
• 1:20:39
  and there's people behind us. Let's go. God, Frank, it's
• 1:20:45
  your first time in Oh, I thought this was fun. The game film
• 1:20:50
  that coach Parsigian is that his name Parsigian is watching when Ruddy walks in to
• 1:20:57
  ask if he could dress? Is the actual game that Rudy played in?
• 1:21:05
  Me too? I think that's just it just shows they care, which I
• 1:21:09
  love. Oh. Rudy runs his finger down the list in a close up
• 1:21:15
  two times when he's looking to see if he made the team. The first
• 1:21:17
  time he starts on one name and the second time he starts on a different
• 1:21:20
  name. The two names that his fingers starts on are the two players who
• 1:21:26
  picked him up and carried him off the field in real life after their game.
• 1:21:30
  That was kind of cool, nice like stuff like that. Let's see.
• 1:21:35
  According to the real Rudy, the character Fortune was also a combination of
• 1:21:41
  three different people who were helping him realize his dream of playing football for Notre
• 1:21:45
  Dame. So kind of makes sense. Oh, I thought this was cool.
• 1:21:50
  Among the future NFL players who played on Notre Dame when Rudy was the
• 1:21:56
  senior was future Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, who was a freshman at
• 1:22:00
  the time in real life. So that's kind of cool. Wait when it
• 1:22:03
  was very at what part? So so that when real Rudy played his senior
• 1:22:10
  year, Joe Montana was on Notre Dame and but was a freshman. That's
• 1:22:15
  awesome, which is just kind of cool. Yeah, it's very The real
• 1:22:18
  Debob plays a bartender in this movie, which is pretty fun. Love that,
• 1:22:24
  So that's cool. Yeah, the real Rudy in there too, did
• 1:22:28
  wasn't he like a fan? In the stands or something. Oh I didn't
• 1:22:30
  see that. Yeah that makes sense. Mostly like we could have found something
• 1:22:34
  a little better for him to do, couldn't we. Yeah yeah, you
• 1:22:38
  would think, haven't be at the steel mill or something, I don't know,
• 1:22:41
  something something cooler. Yeah, that would have been cool. Yeah,
• 1:22:45
  they could have totally done that. You're right, we said that one already.
• 1:22:53
  Oh I thought this was cool. Ned Bady plays Sean Aston's father.
• 1:22:56
  The year before he appeared in Prelude to a Kiss, in which he played
• 1:23:00
  the husband of Aston's real life Mutter Mutter, his real life Mutta Patti.
• 1:23:09
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that was fun. That was
• 1:23:12
  all I had though. Actually, you know, I did not see one
• 1:23:15
  bit of info about different actors up for other roles, which with a movie
• 1:23:20
  like Surprising that's thirty years old, you usually hear about things like that,
• 1:23:27
  but I didn't. I didn't. They needed a ton of young actors,
• 1:23:30
  so usually that means I guess they got a bunch of me, you know,
• 1:23:32
  or I was a couple. So yeah, interesting, So I had
• 1:23:36
  all those two Yeah, I mean he was glad. He was just so
• 1:23:41
  perfect for this, and he was he was coming. He was on like
• 1:23:44
  a nice run there. I feel like from Goonies to yeah, well I
• 1:23:49
  shouldn't say that. I guess what he is? This before after I loved
• 1:23:54
  the movie Toy Soldiers. Do you guys know that movie? Yes? Oh
• 1:24:00
  that might be after. It wasn't that after. I'm looking. I'm looking.
• 1:24:06
  It was kind of like a War Games, right, uh, Sean
• 1:24:11
  Aston goes they they're at a private school, right, kind of a rich
• 1:24:16
  kiddie private school, and it gets taken over by terror. It's like it's
• 1:24:21
  like a Red Dawn, but it happens at a private school. Lewis Gossip
• 1:24:27
  ever seen Master Bugs? It's sweet? I love that. It was love
• 1:24:30
  that sounds cool. And Sean Aston it's great because he plays kind of like
• 1:24:34
  a like a bad kid, not mean, but just like a misspell than
• 1:24:40
  before Rudy though, That's what I'm wondering, like it it was was it
• 1:24:44
  was? That was ninety one, Rudy's ninety three. He was in Encino
• 1:24:48
  man before, Oh my god, he was on a heater man Memphis Bell,
• 1:24:56
  the War of the Roses staying together man like they're like son, that's
• 1:25:01
  it. But those are some. But that's pretty good. From from Goonies
• 1:25:05
  on. I mean that's like in Cino Man was kind of a big deal.
• 1:25:12
  Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean that movie did a cult
• 1:25:15
  for sure. I think it did pretty well because I yeah, I just
• 1:25:19
  listened to a thing with Brendan Fraser talking about it and he was like,
• 1:25:25
  we didn't have what's going on? Yeah? Yeah, crazy nice? Well
• 1:25:32
  yeah, let's uh judgment day. Will there be a sequel? You guys?
• 1:25:38
  Probably not? Probably not unless he has a daughter that makes it probably
• 1:25:43
  not. Something I didn't want to I didn't want to say one more thing
• 1:25:45
  though, No, just in general, okay, before we finished up.
• 1:25:50
  Yeah, I just want to one more shout out to this score because I
• 1:25:54
  just think it's the greatest thing ever. Uh like truly one of the best
• 1:26:00
  ever. And I just I love it so much because I also, you
• 1:26:04
  know, this director and writer also did Hoosiers, which I love Hoosiers to
• 1:26:10
  say a lot. However, the one thing I think Hoosiers is lacking is
• 1:26:16
  the score. And this is just something, This is just something I want
• 1:26:20
  to bring up to you guys on the movie front. This is just something
• 1:26:24
  I feel about movies. I've always been someone who I feel like the score
• 1:26:30
  of a movie, especially a period movie, should not have any instruments that
• 1:26:35
  weren't around in that period. Oh okay, interesting. So yeah, so
• 1:26:42
  you know, like look, an orchestral score like this basically works in anything
• 1:26:46
  to me, you know for sure, whatever, But Hoosiers, for whatever
• 1:26:54
  reason, I don't know who did the score, but it's super synthy because
• 1:26:59
  you know it was like eight eighty five, very six or whatever. It's
• 1:27:02
  got like synth and like drum set like electronic almost dr Goldsmith. Really I
• 1:27:10
  do that too, yeah, because I think all these people went from Hoosier's
• 1:27:15
  ended Rudy, right. I just I don't like it because it has this
• 1:27:18
  like air of of eighties to me, and I just it like I don't
• 1:27:26
  like it because it feels dated, you know. And I just it's like
• 1:27:31
  it's like when someone does like a like an like a movie from the sixteen
• 1:27:35
  hundreds, and I hear like an electric guitar, you know. I just
• 1:27:41
  and look. I know there's exceptions if it's highly stylized like a three hundred
• 1:27:45
  or something whatever, but that's one of my It's just one of my things.
• 1:27:49
  I've always I've I've I don't like when I want I want period appropriate
• 1:27:58
  music and instruments, specifically specifically instrumentation to make like a nerdy musical theater reference.
• 1:28:03
  If you go back to like the original lay Miss recording from like the
• 1:28:08
  eighties, you can hear, like, you know, there's like drum kind
• 1:28:13
  of backbeats and like kind of electric electric sounding instruments, and I'm like,
• 1:28:20
  no, I like the music, I just don't want those instruments in there.
• 1:28:26
  Yeah, I hear that. That's kind of cool. Yeah, So
• 1:28:29
  I just wanted to throw that in there because I wanted to talk about it
• 1:28:30
  about the music because again, so he did do Who's so yeah crazy?
• 1:28:35
  Because I mean he did, He's done every and again. To be fair,
• 1:28:41
  the music in Hoosier's is great. It's just I mean, more of
• 1:28:44
  the instrumentation of it. Sure, Like I don't love that there's like synth
• 1:28:48
  synth music and and like a drum, like a drum set, Like I
• 1:28:54
  don't know, it just sounds eighties to me where this sounds. This sounds
• 1:28:58
  very timeless to me. Let's see. Yeah, like you could put this
• 1:29:01
  music in freaking anything and it would be incredible. Well, so many people
• 1:29:06
  have stolen this music for any pump up sports thing. But yeah, we're
• 1:29:16
  not going to get a sequel, so I think we should go to our
• 1:29:20
  game. Do you want to play a game? Yeah, then I'm gonna
• 1:29:25
  who's starting five? Because Benny, Benny always is very good at this.

• 1:29:33
  we don't name them, you can name them for points. The other person
