- 0:53Saw the super Bowl was very fun. It was what did you do for
- 0:57the super Bowl? Actually just come out at home and it was delightful,
- 1:02delightful. Yeah. My folks were coming into town today there here now and
- 1:07uh yeah. So I was just like, I'm gonna have people around this
- 1:10week. I'm just gonna chill and it's gonna go out. I was gonna
- 1:14go to Nick Heaton's house. Uh yeah, he his brother, but that
- 1:19one of their kiddos was not feeling great. So they ended up kind of
- 1:23canceling, which I was like, that's totally fair, makes sense. Yep,
- 1:27once kids are involved, I understand this is how this works. So
- 1:30no worries. You know one of those, right, So, oh,
- 1:34I know all about it. And she's still pretty she's still pretty young.
- 1:38So yeah, so you know, just a baby. But yeah, so
- 1:42I watched it here and what a great game. Yeah, pretty boring first
- 1:47half and then it turned out a great fun one. That is fair.
- 1:49That is fair. But we got overtime to make up for that first half.
- 1:53Totally. Yeah, how about you? Did you watch it in Arizona?
- 1:56I watched an Arizonia for fam down there. It was was really fun
- 2:00because the day before my father in law vern he he wanted to upgrade his
- 2:07television and I said, you know what, I think it's a really good
- 2:09idea. You're right, and when you're right, you're right. So we
- 2:14went over. We went over to the cast hole. We went and got
- 2:16a seventy five inch TV. Well, just a little baby one. What
- 2:21do you get just to get anything bigger? Then and I put it all
- 2:28together. But we also then realized we had to change their entire living room
- 2:32to make it work, sure, you know. Yeah. So it was
- 2:37pretty funny because he put it like right in front of the window where you
- 2:39you know, you can see the mountains and it's this beautiful view. And
- 2:44my mother in law, Linda was like, this needs to move hard pass
- 2:47on that. Yep, we can't do this. Yeah. So we did
- 2:52it there, but we had a We had a pretty great time in Arizona
- 2:54and glad to be back now. Flew in today and boy or my arms
- 2:59tired. I was gonna say it if you didn't so good work you were.
- 3:02Did you end up going to that golf tourney? I did, Yes,
- 3:07So I went to the one the no because wasn't there. There was
- 3:13some some words exchanged or whatever. So it's the people's open. The waste
- 3:20management opened, uh out there in Scottsdale, Arizona. My father in law
- 3:24is a huge golf nuts and so he had gotten some tickets. I got
- 3:30to go. It was insanely packed. The Saturday is always nuts. Sure.
- 3:36It was like when we were walking in, it was shoulder to shoulder
- 3:38thousands of people. At one point we were just standing there for about ten
- 3:43minutes. Nobody was moving, and I was like, I'm about to get
- 3:47closterfied. I feel a little weird, But then all of a sudden,
- 3:51everybody just moved in. They had stopped making people show tickets at that point
- 3:57because there were so many people. They were like they were just like,
- 4:00come in, just come in, we're going through security. Sure these people
- 4:04probably have a ticket. So that was pretty nuts. But dude, so
- 4:11many drunk people. They actually had to stop selling alcohol, which is nuts.
- 4:17They did that. Yeah, they were like and it was take less
- 4:20money to try and up this a little bit big time. Well, the
- 4:25conditions. Arizona doesn't get a lot of rain, and it got like two
- 4:29inches of rain that week, which is like they get like three inches a
- 4:32year. So it was well done. So it was very muddy and it
- 4:42was slippery and it was scary. Yeah, and there were people falling everywhere
- 4:46and it was a whole thing. So but yeah, it was it was
- 4:50pretty eventful. I would definitely check it out again. It's pretty rowdy.
- 4:55It felt like something out of Happy Gilmour. That's pretty cool. Nice,
- 4:58It was kind of fun. It was not what I expecting for a PGA
- 5:00thing. Yeah, I think like quiet and like, you know, a
- 5:02little bit like respected up and yeah, nothing like that. I would check
- 5:08it out. It was kind of fun. Yeah, that's cool, that's
- 5:09cool. I like it. But I want to hear what was the last
- 5:14movie you watched? Oh? Yes, the last movie I watched also involves
- 5:17sport. I saw Next Goal Wins. Oh, I wanted to see that.
- 5:23How was it? Yeah, it's a pretty cute movie. It's it's
- 5:26all about basically American American Samoa and their soccer team. Apparently they're known for.
- 5:32In two thousand and one, they lost a match like thirty one nothing
- 5:38in the World Cup or qualifiers, I think, is what it was.
- 5:43And this is a story about Michael Fastbender. His character is a football coach
- 5:48and sorry, soccer, soccer. They say football all the time, so
- 5:53it's invaded my brain. But yeah, soccer for our American friends, soccer.
- 5:58He's a coach and to sort of down on his luck and he gets
- 6:02a phone call to go try and deal with these folks and teach them and
- 6:06try to get them better than thirty one nothing basically, And their whole thing
- 6:12is they just want to score a goal, basically. And it's a super
- 6:17it's a silly, silly movie. It's take a YTD helped write it with
- 6:23Ian Morris and then directed it as well. So it's got all the take
- 6:28of craziness in it, but it's a cute movie. I really had a
- 6:30fun time with it. I thought was great and it has some heart that
- 6:33I was not expecting. That was really fun, which Tyke is also really
- 6:39good at. So it's I was just going to say that, Yeah,
- 6:41it's pretty fun. It's it's it is very irreverent like it. It is
- 6:45definitely silly, but I liked it a lot. I thought it was absolutely
- 6:48worth exploring. And they go into a bunch of stuff in really fun ways
- 6:55that I really like and I won't spoil, so you should definitely check it
- 6:58out. It'd be a great like I think. Yeah, yeah, I'll
- 7:01definitely check it out. It was it streaming? God, I can't even
- 7:05remember. It's been a few weeks since I watched it, actually, so
- 7:08I don't even remember where I saw it, but I watched it at home,
- 7:11so it must be streaming. Maybe it even or something, And I
- 7:15feel like it's been out for a minute. Yeah I think so too,
- 7:17but I'm sorry I don't recall cool, but yeah, it was fun.
- 7:23How about you what's the last movie you watched? Well, I told you
- 7:26I was gonna watch all the A twenty four films, so I've started watching
- 7:29some more of those. One that I found on Max was a movie called
- 7:33Remember, starring Christopher Plumber as an elderly man with dementia who was an Auschwitz
- 7:41survivor. Whoa and with the help of another elderly guy, they team up
- 7:48to search for the man that killed their families back in the day. Oh
- 7:53my god, what I cannot believe that I never heard of this movie.
- 7:59This sounds com I want to see. Yeah, quite the other The other
- 8:03guy was Martin Lando, who I felt like I hadn't seen in forever.
- 8:07Wow, I'm going to be honest, I didn't know he was still alive.
- 8:11Yeah, and he might not be, that's true. This was right.
- 8:16He passed three years ago, gotcha. Wow? Crazy? But dude,
- 8:22Christopher Plumber was incredible. Uh. It was a great plot. It
- 8:28did feel kind of indie like they didn't have a ton of money going on
- 8:31in there, just with how they shot it and the locations and things.
- 8:39But it was an incredible story. That's cool, and it yeah caught me
- 8:43off guard. And another awesome a twenty four film. I guess I shouldn't
- 8:46be surprised, but they keep surprising me. That's cool. And you said
- 8:50HBO Max for that one. That's where I saw it, or just Max
- 8:54or whatever. I said, just Max because I'm pretty HIV. Well,
- 8:58you're much more with it than I am. Yes, it's not an accident
- 9:01that you have that RIZ. You know it's not an extent the Z.
- 9:05I love the RIZ. It's the only one I have, truly, It's
- 9:07great, the only one I have. Nice. Have you been streaming anything
- 9:11fun? Yeah? I actually streamed another movie, and I don't think I've
- 9:16talked about it. I didn't keep great notes. But did we talk about
- 9:20this movie a role play yet? On here? Yes you did because it
- 9:26was the shoot. I thought maybe that was because maybe it was Maybe it
- 9:33was. We've talked about it, but maybe not on here. Yes.
- 9:35Well, if you've heard this before, tell me all about it. Just
- 9:39just stick around skip forward. I don't know what you gotta do because I
- 9:41almost watched it, but I saw the Rotten Tomato scores and was like,
- 9:46I, yeah, I don't know. And we did talk about it because
- 9:48it's David a Yellow Oh and Kaylee Kuoco that are in this and they are
- 9:54a married couple living in the suburbs, which will become fun later a little
- 9:58ding ding ding for later. But yeah, she they have just like this
- 10:05beautiful family life and whatever, and they've been married for a few years.
- 10:09She also has a secret life in her past, and so it's sort of
- 10:16them trying to rekindle their marriage while also dealing with her past stuff. And
- 10:20it's really fun. It's kind of like spy thrillery rom com sort of thing.
- 10:26It's really it's an interesting mixture, but I really like it. I
- 10:31actually kind of compare it to did you ever see that Mister Right movie with
- 10:35Sam Rockwell? I did, Yeah, I liked it. It's kind of
- 10:37similar to that, like a little a reverence. Anna Kendrick Yeah, Anna
- 10:41Kendrick, Yeah, I love that movie. I think it's so fun.
- 10:45But it's actioning like that while also having you know, like the silly parts
- 10:50and romantic stuff and whatever. So it's it's really great. I liked it
- 10:52a lot. And it was just sort of a random watch. I think
- 10:56I was just flicking through. I think that was a Prime one. Oh
- 11:01yeah, it's on their posts Prime. Yes, yeah. Yeah, So
- 11:05if that sounds kind of fun to you, go check it out. It's
- 11:07it's good. It does sound kind of fun. So it's better than the
- 11:09Rotten Tomato score. Oh is the Rotten Tomato score bad? I mean when
- 11:15I looked at it, and now, granted it was like maybe the day
- 11:18it came out, the day after it came out, so it's probably just
- 11:22critics, sure, which they're not going to love that movie because that has
- 11:24been played a few times. Oh yeah, for sure. You know,
- 11:30I just want to look it up now. Kind of a mister and Missus
- 11:31Smith. Yeah, yeah, even that kind of ghosted kind of. I
- 11:37just thought they had great chemistry between them, and they're both so fun anyway,
- 11:41Yeah, jeez and forty four percent. Yeah, yeah, sure,
- 11:46I think it's better than that. I do love a rom com though,
- 11:50so maybe I'm skewed, you do, I do? But yeah, so
- 11:54I've been watching that. It's been fun cool. Have you been streaming anything
- 11:56fun? I have? I'm now all caught up with Slow Horses. I've
- 12:01seen. So it's six episodes and they're not even an hour long because it's
- 12:09kind of style format, right. Yeah, it's on Apple TV plush,
- 12:18but yeah, it was definitely the most action packed and the most was like
- 12:22at Steak. Out of the three seasons, there was a lot going on
- 12:26the main characters, maybe some people left in a fashion, and a bunch
- 12:33of like corruption and stuff going on it. It was a hoot, cool
- 12:37man. But yeah, it's my favorite season so far, and they just
- 12:41keep getting better, and I know that there's going to be a fourth season,
- 12:46So I'm caught up cool and get on the Apple TV plus check it
- 12:50out. I got to jump on board that again. That sounds fun because
- 12:54yeah, Gary oldman, man, it's definitely worth watching it for sure.
- 12:56Looked really fun, So that's exciting to know. Holds up that way?
- 13:01Does That's great? Yeah? Nice? Love it will. Do you think
- 13:05should we do a few plug a roonies here? Yes, yes, let's

- 14:01and we'll do a top five draft that pertains to the movie we're talking
- 14:05about. And for this one, we did our top five movies the eighties
- 14:11movies that are quintessential eighties Yeah, yeah, which I like, it's gonna
- 14:18be fun. It needs to really look like it's from the eighties. Yeah,
- 14:22and just vibe. I guess, I don't know. This seems like
- 14:24a very open ended one, like kind of it does whatever can fit sort
- 14:28of, I feel, but I feel like, you know, there are
- 14:30some movies that were made in the eighties that are say, just for example,
- 14:35Glory was made in the eighties. Yeah, but that is from you
- 14:39know, way back in the day Civil warst it doesn't count. Yeah,
- 14:43I think, right, So we're not doing that. We're doing like I
- 14:46feel like it needs to be in the eighties and it needs a look.
- 14:48It feels like it's a time capsule for the eighties from the total right.
- 14:52Yeah, boom greed eighties time capsule movies. That's a great that's a good
- 14:56one way of saying that. Yes, oh, thank god, I can
- 14:58stop trying spelled quintessential now, Thank the Lord. It's hard for me.
- 15:07Coming attractions. Stay tuned. We're gonna do a really fun movie Office Space.
- 15:13I'm so excited. And when did that come out? And I didn't
- 15:15look this up beforehand. I didn't look at least twenty or twenty five.
- 15:20Holy heavens, I've looked it up. That will be fun. I can't
- 15:22wait for that. That's a That's one that I feel like is a sneaky
- 15:26I quoted a lot movie without remembering almost you know, like, I'm super
- 15:31pumped, So that'll be great. It was in nineteen ninety nine, twenty
- 15:35five years hotly, that makes me feel very old. So sir, come
- 15:39on, back for that. If you want to destroy a printer or anything,
- 15:43we'll make that available to you at that time. So it feels good
- 15:46to be a gangster. Let me tell you. I'veset it for years.
- 15:50You know, Rob, you were there, But we're here today to talk
- 15:54about another film that is having its So I guess it'd be fifth anniversary.
- 16:00That's how that would work. Eighty nine. Yeah, cow from nineteen hundred
- 16:03and eighty nine. This is a movie called The Verbs and the Boabes.
- 16:08Boy, we're gonna have a good time with this one. And we got
- 16:11a guy who loves this movie. I believe it is his favorite movie of
- 16:17all time. He has told me that maybe it's changed since then, but
- 16:21who knows. And perhaps, you know, perhaps he'll say that in his
- 16:25hot take. I mean, who knows. But he's here. He's a
- 16:29friend, he's a pal. Give it up for Abe Sword. What's up,
- 16:33babe? Hi, Hi buddy, good to see you, buddy.
- 16:36Hello, I am happy to be here. Oh, we're so happy to
- 16:40have man. We saw this movie was having an anniversary, and you were
- 16:45the only person that we wanted to do this way. It's true, but
- 16:48a surprising amount of people responded with this being one that they wanted to talk
- 16:53about. So that's true, that's great, cool, Yes, this is
- 16:57the one I was born. Yeah, I've been preparing all my life.
- 17:02We scorned them all, thank you so much. Yeah, for sure.
- 17:06And in that spirit, Ape just wants to remind everyone to be kind to
- 17:10one another. That's always scoring your friends, but with love, with love,
- 17:15with love. But yeah, we're here to talk about the burps,
- 17:18and I think we should just get right into it. Boys, what do
- 17:21you think, Robie want to hit us with a rough synopsa. Settling in
- 17:26for some time off in a suburban home, Ray Peterson's vacation becomes a horror.
- 17:33Geez, I like it in the read. I'm so sorry. At
- 17:42first I just thought you said no. I really switched it up and it
- 17:48tickled me too much. Please please, can you do it the same way,
- 17:52though I don't think I can the same the same please? Settling in
- 17:59for some time off and suburban home, Ray Peterson's vacation becomes a horror when
- 18:03the Cloaks, a suspiciously odd family, move in down the block, enlisting
- 18:07the aid of his paranoid buddy Art and his militia man neighbor rumsfield. Ray
- 18:14sends his son and wife away on a trip while he investigates the Clopex.
- 18:18When a neighbor disappears, Ray and his cohorts risk their lives to save their
- 18:22cul de Sac from the clutches of evil. Wow, you really powered through
- 18:27at the end like a true check has got the giggles in the middle of
- 18:30that rope. I love it. Oh, it's gonna be good work.
- 18:37It's gonna be silly. It's gonna be a silly good time for sure.
- 18:40Let's go to Rotten Tomatoes and hear what they have to say. Critics have
- 18:42this coming in at a rock solid fifty five percent. OK, not awesome,
- 18:48awesome, but I think out of the ones we've done this year,
- 18:51this is the second best from critics so far. That's hysterical. Yeah,
- 18:57we really critics hate this podcast this year even more than mutual. I had
- 19:03some stinkers curently well, they have dumb ideas. Audience members, they'll liket
- 19:07it quite a bit more. They're at seventy one percent. Pretty good,
- 19:10pretty good, good, pretty good, not too shabby. Let's go in
- 19:15though and hear what we think. It's time for our hot takes, spicy
- 19:21electric cuty. That's a hot take. That's a hot takes, spicy electric
- 19:26boogie, Woogie woogie. I will go first on this one. I had
- 19:32never seen this movie until we watched it for this podcast, which I thought
- 19:36was very fun. I'm so jealous. Oh man, it's really really fun.
- 19:41One hundred percent. This movie is why we're doing quintessential eighties movies for
- 19:45the draft, because this feels so eighties to me in all the best ways.
- 19:52It is a lighthearted romp with like some horror elements in it, but
- 19:56nothing too crazy. It just basically lets this cast go and be as goofy
- 20:02as they want to be. Uh, And it's just a super fun time.
- 20:06The cast is like stacked and packed with awesome actors, which is really
- 20:10fun. I love that a ton And yeah, I don't even really have
- 20:15like a hot hot take. I don't think honestly, I just really enjoyed
- 20:18watching this. I thought it was super super funny, and yeah, I
- 20:23was just happy to be here. Yes, I don't know. I'm so
- 20:26happy you're here too, buddy. Yeah, hot take. I've seen this
- 20:30movie more than you, for sure, But this was not a staple in
- 20:34the lond Quist household. I had seen it, but oh nice, probably
- 20:38a couple of times, and then I felt like I saw a few scenes
- 20:42a million times when it would play on TV all the time. Sure,
- 20:47but it was directed by a guy named Joe Dante, Who's done some big
- 20:49movies that I've missed that are very big, like the Gremlins films. You
- 20:59oh, I don't miss Gremlins, but I did. Grams did Inner Space,
- 21:03which is a fun one. I think the only thing that I've seen
- 21:07of his was a movie called Parana way back in the day that was pretty
- 21:12pretty and it made me scared. They made a lot of those, Yeah,
- 21:17I think if I remember Parana three D kind that came out at least
- 21:22three of us. Yes, yeah, right right nice. But I did
- 21:29see that The Burbs got one award nomination, and it was for the Young
- 21:33Artist Awards. Corey Danziger, who played the Sun, was nominated and did
- 21:37not win, but that makes sense. He did go on to play Mark's
- 21:41friend in the beloved film Beethoven So Good. Only I thought this was a
- 21:48very silly, fun movie, very eighties. Like you said, it was
- 21:52very fun to see Tom Hank so young and it's crazy to think just four
- 21:56years after this he'd be winning Best Actions Up. Yeah, I think,
- 22:04I don't know. The biggest thing I got from this film is if you
- 22:07think your neighbors are up to no good, you should absolutely break into their
- 22:11homes, snoop around, make sure you're right, and don't listen to people
- 22:15who are telling you to use common sense. Just get it done and then
- 22:18you'll become correctors and act on it. Yes, yeah, you act on
- 22:26it. Don't get anyone else involved, you know, whatever you do right
- 22:32totally, So that that was the big lesson I learned. But yeah,
- 22:36I I I laughed a bunch more than I was expecting. I guess because
- 22:41it's just been so long. And yeah, I really enjoyed its hot take
- 22:45hot thanks Abe hit Us. What do you think? Well, this is
- 22:52my favorite movie. This is the one that I always talked about when that
- 22:55comes up, and so I have a lot of thoughts. I could do
- 22:57a whole season of podcasts on this movie. I feel like love really just
- 23:02deep deep dive. But all I agree with all those things you said.
- 23:06You know, it's it's very eighties, it's you know, eighty eight eighty
- 23:08nine, So it's sort of a bookend to that decad, I feel like
- 23:12in some ways, and you know, maybe the dark edges of that idyllic
- 23:17eighties stuff is happening. You see in cul de sac form a little bit.
- 23:21You know, here comes sure War and grunge and things like that,
- 23:26and they're just just over the horizon. And so yeah, it's like you
- 23:30said, it's a stacked cast. It's it's got Corey Feldman in it,
- 23:33which any good eighties movie. And then you know Tom Hanks I like to
- 23:40semi joke maybe not joke a lot that My favorite part of his career is
- 23:45Joe Versus the Volcano Big, which we did, the Verbs Money Pit,
- 23:49all that those late eighties once, which you know, it's it's a testament
- 23:55to his acting ability and the fact that he could do those movies like that
- 23:59and really like hit him out of the park. Yeah, onto like the
- 24:02League of their Own and then here comes the Oscars and so it's neat to
- 24:06see him at that time. You know, I was twelve thirteen years old
- 24:10when this movie came out, and so a very important yeah age for things
- 24:15like that, when a lot of I think favorites get crystallized in our lives,
- 24:18and I think that that's that's really part of white residing with me.
- 24:22Southern California was where we were living at the time too, so that thatack
- 24:26life also was there for me. You know, I really felt like Ricky
- 24:32Peters and Corey Corey Feldman was like who I wanted to be, not knowing
- 24:37what was going on behind the scenes in his life at the time, but
- 24:40he was a bit of a hero with me. And so yeah, just
- 24:44a real fun time capsule in some ways. And also just you know a
- 24:48lot of these archetypal characters and and things that make a lot of fun.
- 24:53And the talent involved too. Yeah, love it, hot take, love
- 24:59take Spicy. Well let's uh, let's go through these acting performances, and
- 25:07why don't we pick our favorite one. Let's pick the dude. The dude.
- 25:11I'm the dude, so that's what you call me, you know that,
- 25:15or his dude or duder or you know, el dud reno if you're
- 25:21not into the whole brevity thing, abe, I think there's only one dude
- 25:25in this movie, really, and it's it's Ray. It's Tom Hanks.
- 25:30Yeah, he's just you know, it's watching a master at work, even
- 25:34if it is maybe not playing in the championship game. You know, there's
- 25:41a Jordan Us quality to it. I feel like where a lot of even
- 25:45you know, nonverbal face acting and things like that. You know, there's
- 25:48some scenes that we'll touch on later, I'm sure where just just watching him
- 25:52just be in the character and have fun with it. And you know,
- 25:56there was a lot of improvisation in this movie. I don't know if it
- 25:57came up in your research, but there was a writer going on a little
- 26:00bit and so you know, seeing through that. Lens too is kind of
- 26:04need to think about, Like, you know, him sort of sparring with
- 26:08Carrie Fisher and Bruce Dern and you know, you wonder how much of that
- 26:11is them just you know, really being good at their craft too, And
- 26:15so right, I think that Tom Hanks is the dude, as he often
- 26:18is. Yes, Tom Hanks is in it. He's usually the dude.
- 26:25I agree. What can you say about him that hasn't already been said?
- 26:27But one thing, I think he might be my favorite actor who flips out
- 26:34or gets obsessed. He he's so good at it. His like super frustrated
- 26:41temper tantrums are some of the like most entertaining things to watch, and he
- 26:48did it a lot in this time period. I feel like when he picks
- 26:52up the gurney and throws it in the ambulance something, Yeah, so funny.
- 26:56I was cracking up. I love that. Well, even just when
- 26:59Art is coming to wake him up, you know, just like you know,
- 27:03trying to get some sleep, but him screaming that. Yeah. I've
- 27:08seen a couple of guys that do impressions of Tom Hanks and it's pretty much
- 27:12only him doing the kind of scream yell like while talking like all that stuff.
- 27:18Totally, it's really funny. Yeah, that's really funny. I love
- 27:22that. Yeah, that's really great. But yeah, Tom Hanks for the
- 27:25win. Yeah, it's a clean sweep. I mean, for all the
- 27:26reasons you guys said. He's just so he's just so likable, even when
- 27:32he's being kind of crazy, right, like, he's just always like I
- 27:36mean, I'm kind of just on his side no matter what I feel like.
- 27:38So, yeah, he's amazing. I love him. Boom. Well,
- 27:44that was pretty easy. Lots of fun supporting roles though, Oh my
- 27:47goodness, let's let's go and pick that we got for this ape. Okay,
- 27:55so Liten I I had to think a lot about a lot of good
- 27:57candidates there. But Corey Felderman's character rich nice. He's he's almost like the
- 28:06Greek chorus here where a lobby. You're seeing through his perspective, and he's
- 28:11like the camera sometimes I feel like, uh yeah, and you know,
- 28:15he's he's the teenage boy. He's he's looking to that lens and he's laughing
- 28:19at the ridiculousness of the adults and also maybe being a little wiser in some
- 28:25ways, predicting what they're going to do and them being dumb. And and
- 28:30so he's another one who really like shows up the scenery. You know,
- 28:36when he's in there, you're watching him, yes, and so yeah,
- 28:40I think he's really fun to watch like that. And this is this is
- 28:42one of my favorite roles of his. Yeah, yeah, he's incredible.
- 28:48He's a Michelangelo in human form. Yeah, he really is. And he
- 28:52was but I think he was Don Tello actually right, which is so weird.
- 28:56Is I always thought that was a strange choice Michaelangelo. He wanted to
- 29:02go against you know, character archetypes, I guess at that point. Yeah,
- 29:07he was one of my favorite kid actors ever, he's so good.
- 29:10Yeah, he's really great. I actually went and picked Rick do Common as
- 29:17art Wine Garden. Yeah, and so funny. That dude was hilarious.
- 29:22He made me laugh in every scene that he came in. I felt like
- 29:26he had the most fun lines. Him getting electrocuted, just good clean fun.
- 29:30It was his reaction to it. It was hilarious, hot, just
- 29:37just like he could see his black fingernails and he's just like, yeah,
- 29:42he's so funny. He's also in one of our favorite movies of all time,
- 29:45groundhog Day. Yes, he's so funny in that too. I don't
- 29:51know what else he's been in, but those two for two, I'm the
- 29:55ones I know up pretty good. He's pretty great. Yeah, I'm with
- 29:57you, agreed. I had both of those folks up for top honorable mentions
- 30:04here. I think I probably would have picked Bruce dens My as my teach.
- 30:11He was awesome in this. I thought like, he's just like the
- 30:15crazy that crazy like military ex military guy stereotype that was in a lot of
- 30:21these a lot of the movies in the eighties, and he played it so
- 30:23well, but in such a way where he was like kind of making fun
- 30:27of himself or that's that archetype too a little bit, which was really fun.
- 30:33I just really liked him. I thought he was great. He wasn't
- 30:34like like him eating the animal crackers up on the roof like away from the
- 30:41danger and stuff was just super funny. I loved it. His interactions with
- 30:45his wife were super weird and silly and fun. Yeah, I don't know.
- 30:51I really liked him a lot. I thought he brought a lot to
- 30:52the table for sure. Yeah, he was great. And we got to
- 30:57bring up Kerrie Fisher. I mean, she's so great. She's such a
- 31:02ba I wish she would have got to like do some of that, like
- 31:06the the jousting back and forth with lines a little bit more because she was
- 31:10so funny in the few that she had, Like her quips are just perfect
- 31:14well and she's the only adult in the film. He feels like the yeah
- 31:21right, yeah, totally love that, which she was great. Also shout
- 31:25out to Henry Gibson, who is I guess he's the He's the patriarch of
- 31:30the family, right is who he is? The doctor? He's the doctor.
- 31:37Yeah, he's the father from Wedding Crashers is what I know him.
- 31:40Best from and he's also dude the head Nazi from Blues Brothers. Right,
- 31:47not see him as he's so good. He's really great. He's had some
- 31:52awesome like bit parts you know, in movies over the years. He's great.
- 31:57I really liked. Yeah. I think he was pretty established to back
- 32:00in the day. Yeah, right, I just don't see those yeah,
- 32:07but yeah, I will always imagine him at a at the breakfast table hearing
- 32:10all the crazy things that you know, Vinceman is telling him or whatever.
- 32:15So totally And did you guys recognize Nicky Kat as Steve koont He? He
- 32:22shows up in things every once in a while. He's like the Corey Feldman's
- 32:27buddy, Oh yeah, comes over and watching he I think he he's the
- 32:32guy that beats up Adam Goldberg in Days and Confused. Really, I think
- 32:37that's the same. Doesn't look really familiar, doesn't he. Yeah, he's
- 32:42been around on a lot of stuff that was interesting. That's cool. Nice.
- 32:45I also thought I don't love the part because she's just kind of like
- 32:49a ditzy housewife or whatever. But Wendy Shall I thought was pretty funny as
- 32:53Bonnie Rumswell or Rumsfield. She just was she was hilarious. Give her a
- 33:00lot to do, but I thought the parts she had were pretty great.
- 33:02I thought it was an interesting dynamic that she's this kind of like trophy wife
- 33:07but to Bruce Dern, who doesn't look like right right, super successful or
- 33:14you know what I mean, like a little bit they were like taking the
- 33:16piss on that idea too or something you know, I don't know. Yeah,
- 33:21with you for sure, I love that. Well, she went on,
- 33:23she's on American Dad, she's the voice of I guess the mom on
- 33:29America. Oh yeah, that's right, right right, And like didn't she
- 33:34I thought I read in the trivia that she got that because he's just a
- 33:37big fan of this movie basically seth McFarlane MacFarlane. Yeah, which is great
- 33:43and makes total sense, you know, right that he would have been But
- 33:46yeah, I love that. Yeah, I think that's pretty much everybody except
- 33:53maybe Hans. We didn't talk about Hans. It's a weird looking Yeah.
- 34:00I always feel like, what a what a like backhanded compliment to get a
- 34:06movie part to be like this super like we just really need someone that looks
- 34:10very odd and ugly, that's really what we're looking for. Like, Yeah,
- 34:16you're great. Oh my gosh, found our guy. Oh you are
- 34:22a monster. Come please be part of this. Yeah he was goofy.
- 34:27Yeah, sure, I loved him though. He was really funny. I
- 34:29like that a lot. And shout out to the two garbage men Dick Miller
- 34:34and Robert Picardo, Ben and a ton of stuff over the years, right,
- 34:37and they were really funny. We'll talk about they were. We'll talk
- 34:40about this. Actually, we could talk about that scene right now if we
- 34:43wanted. Should we go name our favorite scene? Should we pick the dangus?
- 34:49Is quite simple, really, dingus, Dingus. I can talk about
- 34:52my dingus all night long. What do you got that? Yeah? Me
- 34:58too, I'm I'm in true. Well instead of just drawing a circle around
- 35:01the entire movie, sure, sure, If I had to pick one,
- 35:06it would be the sardines scene. That's all that comes up my life a
- 35:12lot. When I see sardines. I think of that scene. I'm sure
- 35:15I've eaten them on pretzels before and again that that uh nonverbal acting with Tom
- 35:22Hanks when he puts the entire thing in his mouth and just so, the
- 35:27slow crunch, the the encouragement from Carol from uh, you know, just
- 35:31like, go ahead, neaed it. And it's just so drawn out,
- 35:36so uncomfortable and hilarious. I watched I rewatched this movie on a flight a
- 35:39couple of days ago, and still cracking me up. I just I couldn't
- 35:44help laughing through that. And it's just all the things that have led up
- 35:46to that uncomfortableness that's happening, all the different like you know, biases people
- 35:52have about what they think is going on, and then the sardines just take
- 35:55over the entire movie right there. Yeah, can I it's so good.
- 36:00The foley work is UNBELI unmatched. And are we eating the whole sardine?
- 36:10Is that what we do? I'm not a It will make me to die
- 36:15if I have one, so I don't. You can't. I'm not a
- 36:16fishman. I don't know how these things are work. But you eat the
- 36:20whole thing? Huh yeah? Yeah. The bones are tiny, and there's
- 36:24something I think that happens to them where they're just slightly crunchy in there a
- 36:28little bit. Oh yeah, but they're very salty. They seem like they'd
- 36:36be salty. They are very salty, yet I bet them sometimes you get
- 36:39them in in a caesar salad sometimes. Yeah, that's why I can't salads.
- 36:45That was a tough day to learn that those were in there sometimes they
- 36:49are that. That was definitely up there for me. I think I had
- 36:55to pick maybe the silliest scene in the whole thing, and it's just because
- 37:00of how they shot it. It's when the dog digs up the femur and
- 37:06art realizes what it is when so then they start screaming, and the camera
- 37:10pants in and out and in and out, and then it stops panning in
- 37:15and out, but Tom Hanks is still screaming. Yeah, So they're clearly
- 37:21like not taking themselves too seriously at all. I was like, oh,
- 37:24yeah, this is just silly. We're just going for silly, and I
- 37:29was very much on board. I love that. That's a great one.
- 37:32That's a great one. I had the barging into the neighbor's house as sort
- 37:37of a very high one as well, for sure. But I love the
- 37:43bees. Is that the one you just said? Up? Which which one
- 37:45did you just pick? Okay? No, no, no, the femur.
- 37:49Oh yeah, the femur. Sorry, I got scared. I was
- 37:51saying the same thing. No. When they go say hello for the first
- 37:54time and the bees come out of like the doorbell or whatever. Dern yelling
- 38:00come to me, man, come to water is just the funniest thing.
- 38:05I was cracking up during that scene. He can only go so far.
- 38:09He's tried so hard to help, but he just keeps screaming, come to
- 38:13me, man, come to water. I don't know why, but that
- 38:17had me rolling and in a movie where I was laughing a ton anyway,
- 38:22but man, that scene was just cracked. It was early. Tom Hanks
- 38:27is so much physical comedy, which is really fun. I love that a
- 38:30lot. And he doesn't either too, I guess, but yeah, for
- 38:36so good. My runner up that I had was just him walking down the
- 38:40stairs after he's been blown up. Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 38:51I wonder how many times he had to try and do that, like
- 38:53did he biff it? Did it go work? Because it's perfect. It
- 38:58was a perfect choice because he is just he's so disheveled and just like in
- 39:06shock probably and just not actually lifting up his legs too to walk downstairs like
- 39:13that and just kind of glide down them. I just yeah, And then
- 39:16it was very impressive and throws it ina. I love it so much.
- 39:23I did see that that was improvised, like in the scene too, wasn't
- 39:27scripted. Yeah, so funny, the gurney bit or the okay, so
- 39:32funny. That's really great, Amore runner ups Abe. Well, like you
- 39:38mentioned, the steps is way up there too. Yeah, there's an extended
- 39:43scene the first night shot where Tomics sneaks out to have a cigar and and
- 39:50Rick de Coleman is kind of narrating like he comes out here to have cigars.
- 39:52He doesn't his wife doesn't know. I know. And there there's just
- 39:58a neat like suburban spookiness to that that whole scene that I really enjoy And
- 40:01it's a little different from everything else in the movie, and so it's sort
- 40:06of a pivotal thing there. So that's one that you know, this this
- 40:09movie. I I once watched it every night for a year, and I
- 40:14would go to SEO to that movie and I would always like asleep around that
- 40:17point in the movie like funny, yeah, thirty minutes in and so it's
- 40:22it's like very vivid for me, that one. That's really fun. I
- 40:29love that fun every night for a year. Dang, Yeah, that's amazing,
- 40:32it's fun. Yeah. I love the little things they do in this
- 40:37movie too, Like, yes, they go through the dude's garbage pretty early
- 40:40on, but then throw the whole movie the guard like nobody ever picked up
- 40:45that garbage. I love that. Also, shout out to that garbage scene.
- 40:49It's so funny. Yeah, like all those cats are so funny in
- 40:52that they're freaking out throwing stuff everywhere. But yeah, the having that Pilo
- 40:57garbage be there the rest of the movie is so classic. I love that.
- 41:01That's so funny. Did some fun stuff for sure, but yeah,
- 41:07way up there was that that Cloakpeg dinner party too, and specifically for the
- 41:12the sardines, And I would be great with picking the oh yeah, because
- 41:16it's so tense to up until that point that you're so happy almost to have
- 41:22that sardine bit because randomly taking wallpaper off, like what does he think he's
- 41:32gonna find? What do you do it? It's so funny. Yeah,
- 41:38that's so great. Well let's pick it. Let's pick that as the dog.
- 41:42That's a great one. It's a great thing. Guess how about we
- 41:45do some of these quotes. It's time to show me the money. Show
- 41:52me what do you quote the most from this buddy? I mean, it's
- 41:59just so many of these quotes there I'll just say as an inside joke to
- 42:02myself my life sometimes, or like you know, as a as a dog
- 42:07whistle to maybe the other eight people in the world who this is their favorite
- 42:10movie. And so I'm still searching, But if I had to pick one,
- 42:17the one I settled on was was the garbage scene actually leading up to
- 42:22the garbage scene the night before when when Hans comes out and smashes those those
- 42:28like wet trash bags into the garbage can and then like things it with a
- 42:31shovel and the scene plays out the very end. Tom Hanks says, I've
- 42:38never seen that. I've never seen anybody drive their garbage down to the street
- 42:42and bang the hell out of it with a stick. I've never seen.
- 42:45That's so random. So that was the one that I had to sell as
- 42:52my favorite favorite. Do you have any runner up to your favorites? I
- 42:57mean, just the word sardines is so vivid to me. Yeah, I'm
- 43:02trying to cut back. Yeah, it's so good. Oh no, And
- 43:08they we're looking at it from an eighties lens, when Steve Kootz is wanting
- 43:14to go make a store run and Ricky Butler says, oh no, I
- 43:17called the pizza man, and so the Pizza Man's on his way. Is
- 43:21like, it's just this incredible, amazing thing that's gonna happens. The pizza
- 43:24guy is coming. So that was one that as a kid, anytime you
- 43:28ordered pizza, in my mind, it was the pizza guys coming. Hell
- 43:31yeah. Also, how much money does he have because he ordered so many
- 43:36pizzas. There pizzas, so many pizzas. If I would have watched this
- 43:40as a young man, I would have dreamed of having that many pizzas.
- 43:44Oh yeah, that would have been my favorite part, I think. And
- 43:49he's just hanging out all the time, like he seems like he's this stoner
- 43:52kid kind of but like he's the only one living there, right. I
- 43:57know, I'm so believed. I'm so intrigued. But character, yeah,
- 44:00I can't remember. I can't remember. It's pointed out or just imply that
- 44:02his parents are maybe away for the for the summer and he's like watching the
- 44:06house. That would make sense, that would make sense. It's so funny
- 44:10because you can't make this movie now because of the Internet and people being on
- 44:15their phone, so nobody would just be so entertained by watching their neighbors.
- 44:22You know what I mean? Yeah, right, Nope, some that I
- 44:30loved. Carol says he can't come out until he resembles the man that I'm
- 44:37married. It says, Carol, we don't have that kind of time.
- 44:40I love that recurring line that I feel like it's probably going to be the
- 44:46name of the episode. It's just god, I love this street. It's
- 44:51Corey Feldman so good. When uh ray, you're a gurney scene that you
- 44:58love so much. I've been blown up, Take me to the hospital.
- 45:07Nobody knocks off an old man in my neighborhood and gets away with it.
- 45:12Just all serious. The garbage man vic I guess, he says, I
- 45:19hate cul de sex. There's only one way out, and the people are
- 45:22kind of weird. And then and then when he saw walks up in like
- 45:25your little teddy, and he says, naked ladies walking around and like nods
- 45:30to her, Yeah, what do you got bugs? I really liked.
- 45:37I want to kill everyone. Satan is a good guy. Satan is a
- 45:39good pal. Or says he's a real pal. I think he says,
- 45:43Satan is our pal. Satan is our pal. I love that that's great.
- 45:49Also, I know I said earlier, but come to me man,
- 45:52come to water just tickled my funny bone so particularly. I loved it.
- 45:59Also, I remember who says it. Maybe it's his best friend, the
- 46:02art guy, but he's like, you should really expose yourself to this guy
- 46:07vic. He understands paraphysical forces, the healing capabilities of crystals, and laying
- 46:10on hands. You want to try laying on some hands. I loved that
- 46:15whole interaction. It was really fun. I liked it. Uh. I
- 46:24had the nobody knocks up the old guess that's so funny. Uh well,
- 46:30I had a lot of you go, where are you going? Where you
- 46:37go the next doors? A meatball calling someone a meatball is really should come
- 46:45back? I like it he's talking about yeah totally well and went on to
- 46:52start in three a couple of years. Some foreshadowing there, Yeah, don't
- 46:59want it happens at the end, is you know that the house is blown
- 47:04up and Rumsfield says like, our your wife is home, And then I
- 47:08think Bonnie says, and your house is on fire and he says, my
- 47:13wife is home. Like that's of a threat in a house burning down?
- 47:19Yes, I love that. That was good. I think my favorite Rumsfield
- 47:23line in this Bruce Dern is when he's he's at the dinner parties like Cloapek,
- 47:30what is that? Slavic goes no, and he says about a nine
- 47:35on the tension scale. Room pretty. That was pretty great. Another great
- 47:43Rumsfield one is he gets real quiet and he turns I'm spaced on the scene,
- 47:47but he says, in Southeast Asia would call this kind of thing ad
- 47:51karma. Yeah right, so good. Yeah, I can't remember who says
- 47:58it, but someone says, you know that he when you're underwear sweats and
- 48:00it starts crawling up here. Anyway, it's real hot. Yes, that
- 48:06was art. That art was art. He's explaining the story of the ice
- 48:10pick. Oh yeah, yeah, that's right, right, starts so funny
- 48:16anyway, real anyway, so good. So yeah, I was with you
- 48:22that That made me laught. That character could have one hundred percent been on
- 48:25Candy and it would have been great with him as well, like obviously yeah,
- 48:31oh man, well then they teamed up for splash. But yes,
- 48:35but yes, it would have worked. He would have he could have done
- 48:37anything. Yeah, that's true. He's my favorite. That's a good point.
- 48:42I also like early on when he's like, so, why didn't you
- 48:45go with Sussette to her mother's house? Hey, I'm eating here. Okay,
- 48:49can you imagine me with the two of them alone for a week.
- 48:52I'd rather chew broken glass. No, it's going to be a big week
- 48:55for the bachelor kid. Okay, that lot he's eating like a half rack
- 49:01of ribs for breakfast out of their fridge. Yeah. Oh, there's a
- 49:06lot of This is not like a If you have mesophonias that the chewing sounds
- 49:10hatred, this is not the movie for you. Especially early on. There's
- 49:15a lot of mouth sounds happenings. The sardines alone, a lot of mouth
- 49:20sounds that grossed me out, and I like canned fish I had pretty yucky.
- 49:31Yeah, Soldier's Way Saves the Day entree. I liked that. I
- 49:37thought that was Then there's another one that rhymed, wasn't there? Yeah,
- 49:40but I don't remember what it is. Oh, there's the green Sky at
- 49:46night, No Warning, neighbor, take warning, Green sky at night,
- 49:52and then Corey jumpson neighbor take flight. You're right, Yes, yeah,
- 49:57nailed it. I knew Abe would know. What else you guys. Yeah,
- 50:05that's kind of it. Yeah, so I think that's all the ones
- 50:07I wrote down. It's hard for me to do one quotes on the first
- 50:12time through a movie. I'm realizing you did a good job. Doesn't happen
- 50:16to me a lot. I'm proud of you a good job part Anyway,
- 50:22Well, I think we should move on. I think we should go to
- 50:27the crying game. Strong men also cry, strong men also zero. I
- 50:37feel good about this. This is too silly, it's too much fun.
- 50:44I don't think you even cried at all. Any thoughts, if I had
- 50:50to find one, I would go with the very end when Carol comes back.
- 50:54He's been blown up and he's like, oh, you cut your hair.
- 51:00And then a little bit later he's, you know, getting ready to
- 51:02go on the on the ambulance and he's being threatened with jail time and all
- 51:07these things, and he turns, I really like your hair, And yeah,
- 51:12it was a little bit of like emotion there as far as him realizing
- 51:15what was important to him and how she's probably the best thing in his life
- 51:19and he's starting to crystallize for him there. Yeah, totally. It didn't
- 51:22make me crap, but I did love that part. Yeah for sure.
- 51:24Maybe next time now that you have that, Yeah, yeah, now I'll
- 51:30be loaded up. Now you're just going to be sobby just because he brought
- 51:35it up earlier. Seeing all of those pizzas go uneaten. Yeah, I
- 51:40mean that is a travesty. But I bet they ate them off the floor.
- 51:43These kids are stoner's. They're fine, that's true're going to eat them.
- 51:46No, you're right. I didn't cry to her in this movie.
- 51:50Yes, no tears, that's uh, there's not many on that list,
- 51:53but it was just verbs down as no tears. I feel like they didn't
- 51:58even try to get close to that, you know what I mean, Like
- 52:01they were just like, nah, that's not what we're about. Son yep,
- 52:06which again doesn't know its matter. Let's go and do a little movie
- 52:08trivia now. Walter's toy poodle, Queenie, was played by the same dog
- 52:15that played Precious in the Silence of the Lambs, which I think is amazing.
- 52:19Yes, that is a famous dog dog Pee's Big Adventure as well.
- 52:23She was in that one. Oh really, what wow, Queenie, he's
- 52:30killing it out here. Batman Returns. She was also in Batman Returns.
- 52:35I don't remember the same talk. Yeah, Darla, I don't remember.
- 52:42Yeah, the dog, but that doesn't mean anything. That's crazy. Wow,
- 52:45I very much remember Silence of the Lambs. That's like a pivotal point
- 52:50in the movie. That's cute, crazy, it's a cute dog. That
- 52:53dog seems for sure heavy guy bills with that dog. Let's see. Everyone
- 53:04in the cast and crew had a great time working on the film, so
- 53:06much so that Tom Hanks personally bought everyone's sunglasses and left a personal thank you
- 53:10note to everyone in the cast and crew, which is cute. I mean,
- 53:15he typed it out, doesn't He love typewriters is one of his things.
- 53:17Yeah, it's his thing. He does love typewriters. Yeah, that's
- 53:21fun. This film, This film, This film was shot in sequence and
- 53:27was filmed during the writer strike of nineteen eighty eight, as Ape said earlier,
- 53:31and so because of that, it was rushed into production to avoid the
- 53:37writer's strike. Like basically, once they started then they were fine, right,
- 53:43is the idea. And so they went into principal photography the same day
- 53:46that the strike went into effect, and a strange situation. Dana Olsen,
- 53:53who wrote the film, appeared in the film, but he had to kind
- 53:58of like walk a type because he he could be there and participate, but
- 54:02he couldn't contribute anything to the script while being on set. Otherwise he was,
- 54:07you know, going against his fellow writers, which I bet was a
- 54:09weird situation. And yeah, because of this, Joe Dante encouraged the actors
- 54:16to improvise a lot of the scenes, and the robit actually says the ripping
- 54:22of the wallpaper is improvised, so that came directly from that. Apparently.
- 54:29Okay, I guess it's random, but yeah, and Satan is good.
- 54:34Satan is our pal is also one of those. So oh and I thought
- 54:37this was fun. Tom Hanks and Carry Fisher came up with the idea of
- 54:40playing along to Jeopardy and that was a super cute scene. Actually, I
- 54:44liked that one. It was a yeah, they have their pen and paper,
- 54:47Yeah, nerds, I love it. This film received the worst reviews
- 54:53of any film released in nineteen hundred and eighty nine, according to many who
- 54:58worked on the film, which includes the director, Joe, the editor,
- 55:02and then the co stars. Basically they all agreed, I guess uh.
- 55:07But was a box office success and is now deemed a cult classic, so
- 55:12that's kind of fun. The prop master, Mark Jamison was charged with making
- 55:19fake dog poo because the actors complained they didn't want to step in the real
- 55:22thing. The mixture included canned dog food and bean dip and it was loaded
- 55:29into culking tubes and squeezed out where needed. So great work. That's it.
- 55:36Like prop masters have a weird life. They got to come up with
- 55:38some weird stuff. I'm not going to make some today, so we'll see
- 55:42what happens. But that that was fun. Apparently Tom Hanks and Rick Decommon
- 55:50really didn't get along during filming according to the director, but Hanks is such
- 55:54a pro that he just kept it loose and they got through it, which
- 55:58that was kind of I wouldn't have get's that based on that, buddies for
- 56:01sure? Yeah, acting acting. The house where Corey Feldman lives was the
- 56:08same as where The Monsters was filmed, and this is it was all filmed
- 56:14on like a street that was made in a backlot I think in La right
- 56:16universally, Yeah, which is pretty neat and a ton of things have been
- 56:21there. But also the house where Tom Hanks and Carry Fisher lived was used
- 56:24for Leave It to Beaver, and most of the houses on the block where
- 56:29the film takes place were featured on TV shows, including Desperate Housewives being the
- 56:34latest, which is interesting. I remember when Desperate Housewives came out. I
- 56:40was like Leo and what's the put time? And it was like club with
- 56:44test and I was just always watching for those, like telling people who which
- 56:49house was which. So yeah, you were like, I know, I
- 56:52know all of them. That's pretty cool. I love that. Uh.
- 56:57And In the original script, Ray Peterson was intended to be killed by doctor
- 57:00klopek All but once Tom Hanks was cast, the studio figured audience members would
- 57:06not appreciate witnessing his death on screen, so it had to be reworked.
- 57:09Several alternate endings to the film were also shot, where items other than bones
- 57:15were discovered in the trunk, including dead cheerleaders and the garbage men seen earlier
- 57:20in the film, which I think is pretty funny. But the ending had
- 57:24been a subject of debate before the writers strike, and revisions were requested to
- 57:30make Hanks, whose box office profile had increased since the success of Big As
- 57:36dominant in the film as cinematically possible, which was probably a good idea.
- 57:42Yeah, yeah, so yeah it could have been some some weird endings,
- 57:45but that was all I had for trivia. Did you have other stuff?
- 57:49Rob? Or No? No, you hit everything that I saw? How
- 57:52about you? Aid? So the one that I was new for me on
- 57:54this this cycle with it was so Steve Koontz is wearing a Skull Skates shirt
- 58:00when he's hanging out with with Ricky before the pizza dude comes. And so
- 58:06Scholl Skates was an eighties skateboard company along with like Vision and Palperalta and all
- 58:12stuff that I really like, sought after and enjoyed as a Southern California's skateboarding
- 58:16kid. But I learned that Rick du Coleman started that company in at seventy
- 58:21nine with his brother whoa and really, yeah, so that really kind of
- 58:25wo lew me away that I didn't know that until now, And it's kind
- 58:29of a fun, little inception y moment. It felt like crazy, that's
- 58:35cool. He was early skater, you know, maybe a little more punk
- 58:37rock and that's why he was messing with with Tom Hanks a bit little little
- 58:42uh crusty. Sure, that's wild, that's fun. Yeah, that's cool.
- 58:47Super Fice done nice. Well, will there be a sequel Judgment Day?
- 58:53Judgment Day? Probably not? Maybe, I know, I know I'm
- 59:00talking about. At some point I looked on like the late nineties movie message
- 59:07boards, like for The Birds back then, and there was there was some
- 59:10I guess some stops and starts really early in the process. But I feel
- 59:15like you probably can't get Tom Hanks for scale for something like that right now,
- 59:21got a long harm list of things to work on. But maybe he
- 59:27would do it if he was the doctor. Now, you know, it
- 59:30could be like a fun, weird part. Sure, maybe he or something.
- 59:34But yeah, so it sounds all grown up. Yeah, there you
- 59:37go. Yeah, yeah, but probably not. Probably not. Yeah.
- 59:43I don't know if Queens is still with us. Oh she can't be,
- 59:49damn it. Yeah. It sounds that The Lambs was ninety one, I
- 59:52think, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not looking good for
- 1:00:00Oh good, all right, pee Queenie. Well, what do you guys
- 1:00:05want? You guys want to play game? What do you think? Yeah,
- 1:00:07let's play game. I did a starting five. Yes, So this
- 1:00:13is where I'm going to name my five favorite actors from a particular film.
- 1:00:17When you know the film, you ring in with your name. If you
- 1:00:21get it wrong, there won't be any negative points, but you won't be
- 1:00:22able to guess again for that movie. If there are actors' names remaining,
- 1:00:27you can guess those for a point each. The other person can steal if
- 1:00:30you get any of those names wrong. And all of these films have something
- 1:00:35in common. When you know the theme, you can ring in at any
- 1:00:38time for a point. Nice, we feel good, feel great? Bring

- 1:06:55I will let you know that The out of Towners is not one of
- 1:06:59the movie. Do you have a guess? A. I don't think so.
- 1:07:06I am I'm close. I think I think I've seen this one too.
- 1:07:11But yes, you guys probably have seen this. This was kind of
- 1:07:15towards the end of M. Knight's peak. This was a movie called Village.

- 1:07:30had kind of a surprisingly there's a twist, Yes, there's a twist.
- 1:07:38Is it filmed in Pittsburgh like so many of his movies? I think it
- 1:07:42is in Pennsylvania. Yeah? Where are we? After five? Bukes?

- 1:07:50Sure are are We'll see how we do after this. Number six is another

- 1:08:08is Juliet Lewis. The third name is Julia Roberts. The fourth name is
- 1:08:20Dermott mulroney. The fifth name is Meryl Streep. Ever heard of her?
- 1:08:30Yeah, but I'm bad at coming up with city life titles four, three,
- 1:08:39two one. It wasn't a city, it was a county. She's
- 1:08:46on two county movies. This is August Stage County. Well, this movie
- 1:08:51bummed me out. Yeah, but isn't that funny? I live up bridges
- 1:08:57of Madison County and prit you'd own you know the two names Clint Eastwood and
- 1:09:02Mary. I also never saw that one. Same yeah, two Street County
- 1:09:08movies. I just won't watch it. If she's in the County movie,

- 1:09:16good things. That movie is a bomber. Yeah it looked like it.

- 1:09:28number seven. The first name Richard Jenkins. Well love, the second name
- 1:09:34Woody Harrelson, third name Francis McDormand okay, not the one I was thinking.

- 1:09:56Farron Hi four three? Why am I so bad at these? Two?
- 1:10:04One? Beep? This? This one was a stretch title wise, but
- 1:10:10it was filmed here in Minnesota, in North country. Oh nice, in
- 1:10:16the north country actually, So that was a stretch on the title. That's
- 1:10:19an interesting So. Yeah, I think you guys all get number eight.
- 1:10:25I feel good about number eight. You guys. I don't know the village
- 1:10:28written down and still didn't get it. I was gonna get it too.
- 1:10:31Yeah, funny, but I was funny. Apparently, I don't. I
- 1:10:35thought the village was the Mark Wahlberg one. No, that's the happening.
- 1:10:41That's the happening. Oh boy, yeah, okay, sorry, that one
- 1:10:45horrible, all right? Number eight The first name Elijah Wood. The second
- 1:10:55name is Carla Gugino, the third name Mickey Rourke, the fourth name Jessica
- 1:11:09alba Hey, Sin City, Sin City, and the first excuse me,
- 1:11:18the number one name that is still left. Do you know who it would
- 1:11:21be? Gosh, who are forgetting? There are a couple of big name
- 1:11:29actors left, but I felt like this guy was kind of like the main
- 1:11:33You could have them, yes, Frank Miller black and white, but then
- 1:11:41there'd be bits of color and it was crazy, right, but Bruce Willis
- 1:11:45would be maybe that's him. It's gotta be right. I got it Sin
- 1:11:50City and Bruce Willis nicely don't work. I would not have got that.
- 1:11:54Did you see? Although Toro was in there, I think, right,
- 1:11:56yes, I thought about Benicio. Do there's Rassario Dawson. Yeah, there's
- 1:12:02there's seriously like five other I never saw that movie. That one was crazy,
- 1:12:08Yeah, that one extreme, Yeah, yes, that's cool. I
- 1:12:13didn't see the sequel, but I definitely thought, oh sure, yeah,
- 1:12:15I forgot. They made it too, didn't they? They did a dame
- 1:12:19to kill four? Wow, yep, I never saw it knows the sub
- 1:12:24title good work, yep, I did when I was looking this up.
- 1:12:28I think that's why it's in the break. Let's go to number nine.
- 1:12:31The first name William H. Macy Ooh, pretty pretty big name guy right
- 1:12:39there. Second name is Joan Allen, third name Reese with her spoon,
- 1:12:50fourth name Jeff Daniels. The fifth and final name Toby McGuire. Pleasantville.
- 1:13:04You got it, Pleasantville. I love this was Buges loves that one.
- 1:13:11And I don't think I've really done it on this because a lot of times
- 1:13:15you're like, oh, you could have used Pleasantville for that's I wasn't about
- 1:13:17it at all. And that's one of course. Yeah nice. So where
- 1:13:24are we going into the last one there? Because as got four, you're
- 1:13:28still in a bed. You could. You could get it. Absolutely,
- 1:13:31you need to get this one real quick, quicksh And I feel so bad
- 1:13:36because the first name is somebody I've never heard. Oh no, that does
- 1:13:41not work out well. But if you can get it after the second name
- 1:13:46still I could, Yes, yeah you could. Yeah. So again,
- 1:13:53this is a movie I did not see. This is the top five built.
- 1:13:56First name is Richard O'Brien. People might know him as rich or old
- 1:14:02dick ob dickobyby the second name again, William Hurt. So you got to
- 1:14:11get it here. What was William hurting anything? Anything? This is early
- 1:14:19nineties m or excuse me, it might be late nineties. I'm gonna double
- 1:14:26check, and I want to throw you off. Late nineties nineteen ninety eight.

- 1:15:25of similar. They call it like kind of like a Twin film or a
