FILM REAL | What Movie Would You Want To Watch In The Theater? · The Recess Bell

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody, My name is Justin Greenber, joining me
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: again my buddy Jonathan for another edition of Film Reel
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: right here on the Recess Bell networking. Last time we
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: talked a bunch of nonsense about signs and Independence Day.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Today we got a few topics that I want to cover,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: but before we get to those, I want to talk
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to Jonathan about something that's very important to me when
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it comes to watching movies, and that is what you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: eat while watching a movie. Now, we both go to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the theaters, so I'm going to assume you get food
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: at the theater. Is that correct?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Sometimes not a lot, but I mean, you can never
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: go wrong with popcorn, right.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Fresh movie theater popcorn. It's fantastic butter drizzled all over.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Oh you get the butter. I don't do the butter.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: What I'm a healthy guy.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You don't do the butter?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: No, I don't.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Why do you even get the popcorn then?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Because it's if it's mid right, you don't need butter.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like, okay, bacon, egg and cheese. You
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: get bacon, egg and cheese, right or your sausage guy?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Either one?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Do you get salt pepper ketchup? On it, I do
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: not exactly. You don't need it. If it's made correctly,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you don't need that extra stuff. And I think the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: same thing applies with popcorns. The popcorn is made fresh
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and hot, and it's got the right amount of salt
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: on it. The butter's not needed.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You got to have the salt. Then, Yeah, if you're
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: not going to do the butter, do.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You do any other candies.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, so I'm a big candy guy. Actually Skittles
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: sour Patch kids, you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Order Skittles at the movie theater or you sneak the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: stuff in.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I mean I used to bring stuff in all the time.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I really can't. I can't tell you the last time
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I actually had candy at the movie theater because I.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Worked at a theater for quite a time. I just
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: want to say this before you continue. It's not illegal
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to bring food in.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I think you told me that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: We're told we cannot legally stop somebody. We can, you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: advise them not to Now, if they're bringing in a
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: whole pizza pie, we would have to stop them. But
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: if somebody just walked in and is holding M and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: m's and walks in, we can't legally stop them from
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: bringing that in. But go ahead.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: You worked at the one in Rockville Center, yes, yes,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: But in the one in Limbrook you can bring whatever
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you want in, right. I've seen people bringing coldstone and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: they're just sitting there eat ice cream, which I mean
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: they serve everything there. You can get booze. Now you
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: can get food. They have meals.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an interesting change in the movie Landscape
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is the introduction of full course meals, because I don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: ever remember that as a kid, it was just popcorn
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and candy. But now you could get pizza and chicken
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and and like you mentioned alcohol, which I haven't really done,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if I'm a fan of it,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: because people are already annoying at movie theaters, and then
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: if you add alcohol, I mean, we're in a bowling
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: league together. We see the effects of alcohol every single
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: week pretty much.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So when I'm trying to watch a movie, the last
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: thing I want is a rowdy, ruckous crowd the on
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the movie. If it's a horror movie shorre, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: maybe be a little loud, but if it's you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a quieter film, you don't want the loud, obnoxious sort
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of people so I've never done the movie theater booze
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: have you.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: No, Jackie, you'll have like a glass of wine like
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: she usually brings her own wine. Yeah, but yeah. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: also don't understand people that talk through movies.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it either. And it's not just kids.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: That's the That's the one thing that really throws me
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for a loop because you would think that somebody in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: their fifties and sixties would understand to know your role
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and shut your mouth. And the biggest offender that I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: see is the elderly seventy year old eight year old.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Women are the absolute worst when it comes to serving
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: at a movie theater. When I work there, non stop
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: complaining it's too loud, it's too low, it's too cold,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it's too hot, the air is too dry. It's like,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I can't help you. I don't have a humidifier, gladys,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I can't help you right here. But they constantly talk.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And the biggest pet peeve I have with talking is
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: if you're going to do it, at least do it
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: at a whisper. And the other thing is they'll ask
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: questions when clearly the person they're seeing the movie with
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: has also not seen the movie, so they'll be like,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is he part of the government. It's like, I don't listen.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know either, because we just were introduced to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: this character. So just let it breathe and eventually we'll
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: get there.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And the problem is they can't whisper because they can't hear,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: so they might think they're whispering, but they're yelling.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: They're just screaming.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: We were at a movie last year and Jackie actually
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: told these kids they were teenagers. There was I knew
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: there was a problem because there was like two people,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: two girls, sitting in the same seat, like on top
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of each other. Yeah, and they did not stop talking
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and me, I'll just kind of grin and Barrett, but
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Jackie was like, will you be quiet? You have talked
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the entire time and the girls were like, oh my god,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and like they didn't say another word. It was Yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it was bad. And then we just saw Baby Girl
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: last on Wednesday, and these two people came in late
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and then they started talking and like you said, too,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it's not even a movie that you need to ask
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: any questions about, Like it wasn't anything that you didn't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: know what was going on or like yeah, so They're
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: just talking and I'm like, oh, here we go again,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and then luckily they stop. But yeah, it's just like
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you said. I don't like I might say one or
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: two things to Jackie during a movie about somebody in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the movie, or if I like think something's gonna happen,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I'll be like this that guy's in it or whatever.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: But I say very low and that's it. We don't
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: have full on conversations. I mean, it's just very rude
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and very disrespectful. Like I don't get it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I've got into several fights. I was threatened to get
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: stabbed Jesus while while on a date we were watching
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the screen movie I. I really don't take crap not
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I am not a tough guy. I'm not physical intimidating
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: at all. But when I'm in a public setting and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm not going to actually get attacked,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I will stand up for my rights. I got into
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a fight at McDonald's a few weeks ago because some
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: kids threw a piece of paper at me and I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: called them out on it. And there was like fifteen
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: high school kids and I was just staring them down
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, what are they going to do? They
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: are going to attack me, and they just back down.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: They did nothing. They had the manager come over to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: them and kick them all out, and they said nothing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I was expecting them to be like, you'll meet me outside,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But I guess kids these days are bitches and they
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to actually attack. They just they're all bark,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: no bite. But yeah, it's a big issue is the talking.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And I've also noticed cell phone usage, and it's not
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: talking on the cell phone, it's the texting on the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: cell phone. And I'm big into visuals when it comes
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to movies. I love the way certain movies look. And
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: if you have a beaming light right in front of me,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: it is seriously distracting. If you have to look at
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: your phone. At the very least, put the brightness all
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the way to the minimum and cover it with your hand,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: or put it, you know, your shirt over it, do something.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Don't hold it up. Yeah, you know, like you're he
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: man holding up his sword saying I have the power.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So everyone in the theater has to see your stupid text.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And it's not even text. Half the time they'll be
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on socialde I.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Was just about to say, these kids doing snapchats, like
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: taking pictures of themselves while you're in a movie like
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Who Cares.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But it's also I don't even want to say it's kids,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: because it's also not kids. It is kids. Yeah, but
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I've also seen older people. I go to a lot
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of showtimes that there's special needs groups that are there,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and the handlers are the ones that are causing the scenes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that are on their phones. They're the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: ones that aren't shutting up. And yeah, that's a huge
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: pet peeve of mine. There are theaters in the city.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: There's a place called Nighthawk Cinema which is over in Brooklyn,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and I believe they have one in Queen's that is
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: very strict when it comes to cell phone usage. You
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: will be kicked out of the theater if you even
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: look at the cell phone. You know, they're more of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a hipster sort of movie theater, but I'm all for that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: There should be laws when it comes to the movie theater.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And another thing is with the food. And I have
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: talked about this on the film Reel before, but when
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it comes to food, I feel like you need to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: chew your food at a sensible volume and figure out
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the right time to choose.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Said food or open the package, or open the package,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: do it before the movie starts, or when there's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: loud action sequence happening.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Now, when there's a dramatic scene where Billy is dying
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of AIDS and there's no sound except tears happening, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: then you just hear.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the a Twizzler's bag. Yeah, real, Yeah, it's
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: just I just don't get people like you've been going
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to the movies probably your whole life. Yeah, you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the etiquette. I mean it's not anything complicated. You're there
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: for two hours. Just turn your phone off.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Certain people, you know, they can't help it. If it's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a four year old kid and you're going to a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: kid's movie, you just say it is what it's. You know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't be here. I'm thirty six years old with
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a mustache. I probably should not be watching Despicable of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Me by myself on a random Saturday. So this is
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: on me. They can't help it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but when it's like you said, a fifty year old,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: sixty year old, eighteen year old, you gotta do better.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's the social media thing. It's the I'm
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: at the movie, look at me, and I've done that before.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Before a movie, I'll take a picture of me outside
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of the with the poster and I'll post a review
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: about it on my Instagram. But to actually film scenes
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in a movie for what Yeah, what is it for
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: for you to go back and watch your camera of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the movie to get a few likes on Instagram. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: have a huge issue with social media.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not big on social media.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I'm addicted to it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I don't post a lot, I'll I look at it
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a lot, but again, who wants who cares that you're
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: in a movie theater.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It's a big time addiction, and it also is a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: big thing happening recently is a lot of people not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: wanting to see longer movies, and I think that has
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to do with short attention spans. People are used to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: five second videos on TikTok, a minute videos on Instagram,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So when they see a showtime that's three hours in
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: three and a half hours, which is it can be
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a lot, but there's some of the best movies of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: all time are three hours, three and a half hours.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You know Your Godfathers, all those Scorsese movies are two
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and a half three hour movies. Tarantino movies usually three hours,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: so if the movie's good, it shouldn't be an issue
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: with the runtime. I know Wicked was one of those
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: movies recently that a lot of people were saying, yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: but it's two hours and forty five minutes. It didn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: feel like it. It really went quickly.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. I have no problem watching a movie
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: that's two and a half three hours long, but it
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: can't feel that way. And recently we've watched movies that
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: are an hour and fifty or two hours that have
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: felt like three hours, and you're just like, that's bad.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: They could have caught out a lot of it. And
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: like you said, it's hard to it's hard to keep
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: your attention, like especially if you're not into it. Then
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you just kind of like it's almost like when you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: watching the clock trying to see it go and it
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: just takes forever.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I will say I do enjoy a nice hour and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: forty five minute movie, particularly with certain genres. No comedy
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: should be two hours long. No comedies need to be
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: ninety ninety five minutes. Action movies hour fifty minutes. Your
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: dramas they could be two and a half hours. Epic
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: action movie, something that is a conclusion to a series.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You know, the last Avengers movie two hours forty five minutes.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Have no issues with that. Yeah, a giant epic, you know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: war film be three hours for all.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Like Gladiator or brief Heart.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are fine being long exactly. But I think
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the trend of certain genres being way too long is
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: something that I feel like we're going to get away
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: from because audiences aren't going to the movies, and I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: think it's a it's it's a shame. And I think
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of younger audiences look at showtimes specifically and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: we'll see the length of of a movie and we'll
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: purposely not go see that movie, which is something that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe we did talk about it last time. I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: don't know what they could do as far as the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: changing that have intermissions, something to uh get people to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: want to get back to the theater. So we talked
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: about some of the snacks I know we went over on.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: We went completely all over the place. I don't know
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: how we got to where we got to. I'm a
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: big popcorn guy. I have the regal unlimited movie pass,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: as do you, right, So we accumulate a lot of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: points and get temper of concession. But also I have,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you know, a certain amount of points, and I can
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: redeem that for free small popcorns. So what I do,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and my last name is Greenberg for a reason, I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: get the free small popcorn, and then I'll ask for
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a courtesy cup of ice, and then I'll get which
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: is like a small cup of ice, and then I'll
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: just go to the water fountain and fill it up
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: with water because it's a lot of money.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I was just gonna say that to you. That's
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: also part of the reason that people don't go to
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the movies anymore, because you got to take out a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: long if you're bringing like your significant other and like
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: if you have kids or whatever.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: My god, my brother spent My brother spent one hundred
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and fifty bucks going to them.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then the kids, obviously you're gonna want popcorn, candy, soda.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I went to a movie a few weeks ago, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I noticed I took a picture actually of there because
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: there's a computer screen with all the you know, prices
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of what they're picking up. It was a kid, and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I want to say, his grandma sixty eight dollars just
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: on snacks. Wow, they got the this was a big thing.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: What's happening now is these popcorn buckets. So there's like
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: themed after certain movies. Which popcorn bucket they got, but
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that's like a big thing. You know. They had the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Dune one last year, there was an Alien.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And the Wicked one.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's a ton of them. So they got
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: one of those, which is already twenty eight dollars in itself.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Then they got you know, the they each got a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: large soda, which is ten dollars.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: There is super unnecessary because the small, the small is
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a bucket.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like getting this the large. When it's
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: your birthday, you get a free large soda and a
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: free large popcorn. I said, just give me a small.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I cannot have a I can physically not have a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: large soda. So I mean I watched this person and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: his grandma sixty eight dollars. That's just for the food. Now,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that's not including the two tickets. If they saw an
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Imax movie, that's fifty dollars for two tickets. You're talking
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen dollars or so for one trip
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to the movies. That's a vacation.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and the movies have not been good.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen a lot more than we would
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: have seen because we have that unlimited pass, so we're
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: obviously gonna use it. We don't want to waste it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: But if you go twice a month, you make money
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: on it or you save money, it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Pays for itself.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: But we've seen a lot of bad movies because of it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of bad movies as well. And
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I am going to get to my worst movies of
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I released my Best Movies of twenty
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: twenty four, you know last week it just got released.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: How many did you see?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I saw one hundred and one movies we saw.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I saw thirty one and Jackie saw thirty five.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, did you see anything that she didn't see?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: No, he saw four that I didn't see because she
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: went on like the Monday Mystery one. I've never done that,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and she saw three other movies that I didn't want
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to see. So she went on a Monday while I
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: was bowling or Tuesday while I was working.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Does she go by herself?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I I Out of the one hundred and one movies
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I saw, I'd say ninety five of them were by myself,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: because again, who am I going to talk to I'm
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: watching a movie.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You don't need somebody there because, like you said,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: normal people don't talk to him during the movie. I mean,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you could talk after about how bad it was or
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: how good it was.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: But sometimes I'll just talk to myself. I think I've
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: told you about my TikTok character, the sheriff. Yes, so
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: he just sort of talks to himself at the movie.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I actually, here's a funny fact. At that theater, the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Westbury Theater, I have been the sheriff for the last
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: three years, so they do not know my real voice.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: They have no idea who I am. I talk I guests,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and I have movies, and I can't change character because
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: it's too late.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: So they think you're one of the special needs kids.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I have gone on dates there, and I'll
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: have to just buy my ticket, buy myself at the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: kiosk with her, and I just say go get a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: seat and I'll get the popcorn.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: You know, because you can't talk normal. I can't talk normal,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: And then if you talk like that in front of
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: your date, you'll be alone.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So it's it's it's like a Catch twenty
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: two right there. But quickly other snacks though, and we
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: will get to some more movies. I feel like I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: need to get soda. If I'm getting popcorn, I'm not
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: getting water, So you need to have soda. Yeah, And
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I like pretzels and nachos, I don't. I rarely get that, like.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: The soft pretzels. Yep, I'll do that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing, and I have talked about it,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: so I hate to regurgitate stories that I've talked about
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: on the radio. Or rather I was gonna say the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Radio Rumble, which is my radio show Saturday twelve to two,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that I have talked about in the film reel before.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: But the issue I have with the snacks that you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: dip in the cheese is you don't know how much
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: cheese you have left, so you have to like ration it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: But then at the end you might be like, I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: have half a thing of cheese left and only three
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: nacho chips off I've completely butchered it. Or it could
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: be vice versa. You have no cheese left and you
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: have like seven pretzels to dip nothing.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: In, So do you go get more cheese or more
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: pretzels or nachos. If that has O, I'll either don't
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: tell me, you just like put your finger in the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: cheese and eat it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I might do a little bit of that. I might
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: do a little bit of that. But I had an
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: idea they need to have glow in the dark cheese.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: That does not sound good. But I'm gonna say that's
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: probably not gonna be appetizing.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It's probably going to cause some sort of stomach hand.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: They could just put some sort of like glow in
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the dark on the container.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Something something for us, but not distract, but not just
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: They need to figure it out. There needs to be
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: some sort of.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, is it that dark? You really can't tell
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: how much sees you have.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: You can't because it blends in. It's the same color
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: as like the packing material. So I guess the old
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: pinky and the cheese trick is the rat that I'm
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: going But pretzels and nachos.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Are you raising sky?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I am Jackie. That's her favorite and I never was
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: as a kid.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: However, I've never seen her eat them, but she says
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: that's her favorite. Yeah. The fact that you said skittles, well,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm a hard candy guy, like I like
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: that this sour patch kids.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Ye what else are fantastic? You do the watermelon of
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: those standard kids.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter whatever they got.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I hate the fact that you have to time everything
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: out properly, in my opinion, which is why I miss
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of the previews when I go to the theaters.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: If I'm getting a snack, because I don't want to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: be sitting there watching previews, let alone commercials, because there's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of commercials nowadays. Yeah, before I get my food,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: because I don't want to have no food while watching
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the movie. So I time it out. I'll say, give
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: me my popcorn after like the fourth preview, and then
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I'll go and get it, and then time it out
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: perfectly to you know, sit in my seat right when
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the movie's about to start, because if you're getting popcorn
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: before the movie, you might finish it before the previous.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: That's what I did last time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the last time I got it, I went and
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I'm eating it and then the movie's about to start
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: and I looked down. I was like, well, I'm done
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: with my popcorn. So there goes that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I like the popcorn is great because it's long lasting,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: like I could eat those pretzels in four minutes. Oh y,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: popcorn takes a while.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know you can only grab so many.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: They're falling on you. You gotta find them, and yeah,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: eat those. And the the previews are out of control.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: It's insane.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: It's twenty it's minimum twenty minutes, and a lot of
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: them are thirty.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's usually, Yeah, it's usually twenty five. But that's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: not including the commercials.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we usually you don't show up until five
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: ten minutes after the showtime, and then we still see
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: four or five previews.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I have a big issue with previews. It's it's they
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: show too much. It's it's horrible. Whoever edits These previews
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: should immediately be fired. But they should also say what
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the actual showtime is. They should have two times on
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: these apps. It should say preview time and actual showtime.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I like that idea because people should be showing up
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: if they want to skip out on that crap and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: not watch forty five minutes of ads. Yeah, there should
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: be an option.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: And somehow people still show up late for movies. Yep,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. Like they came in on Wednesday.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: This couple came in about probably five six minutes after
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: it started. It was a six point twenty quote unquote
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: showtime that started at six point fifty and they showed
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: up at six fifty five.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: What's the point. It's like, Wow, if you knew you
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: were gonna be that late, just go wait for another showtime. Right,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Let's get to some other some other chatting, Jonathan. Let's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: get into this thing real quick. And this is your opinion,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and you are in the minority when it comes to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: people on the film real there's a movie called The
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Substance that came out last year, which is one of
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the front runners for several Oscars. Demi Moore just won
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance in
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the movie. You're the only person you and your girlfriend
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: are the only two people I've talked to that not
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: only didn't like the movie, you hated the movie.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Not the entire movie. So that's not the entire movie.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So that's my issue with you, because you were like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: this is the worst movie ever.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: No. So the first movie, the first hour and twenty
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to hour and thirty minutes was fine. Okay, the premise
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: was good. I understand what you're saying about the story
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: of actresses in Hollywood. They have to stay young, they
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: have to stay relevant, all that stuff. I get it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I get the premise of the story.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It's simple.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: The last forty minutes flew off the handle. It turned
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: into a blob monster with body parts coming out of
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: it everywhere. Faces on the side, she's putting ear rings
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: in an eyeball and then just puts it and has
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a dress on, and then just walks into a crowded
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: theater to host the New Year's Eve thing, and everybody's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: looking at her as she has a picture taped stapled
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: to her head to make her look like Demi Moore,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and then just blood spewing everywhere for a half hour.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: It just it went way off the.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: You're making me love the movie even more. It's perfect.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: It went perfectly, way off the deep end. I mean
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it was. Yes, I get that it was kind of
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: a sci fi type movie because obviously, I mean, the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: person comes out of your back and then luckily they're
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: a trauma surgeon, so then I had to show you
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: up properly. I mean, I think they could have did
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: something different there.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I think you're overthinking aspects of the movie.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: But no, but I didn't know it. It just turned
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: into an absolute disaster. So yeah, I love it. The
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: story I get again about staying relevant and staying young. Also,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the one big plot hole is that they can never
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: be alive at the same time than they were. Then
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: they fought each other.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I would need to rewatch it to see exactly how
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: that went down, because you know, I watched it four
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: months ago or so. But I I loved this movie,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Jonathan from from the Sound, because because you're mentioning things
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that you liked about it, you know, the acting was great.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Did you not think Demi Moore was fantastic in this movie?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Demi Moore was very good. And I'm a big Dennis
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Quaid fan, and I understand that that was the part
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: he had to play, but I didn't like it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Well, he did his job then.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Exactly like when he was eating the shrimp was the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: most disgusting and oh it's so disgusting. Yeah, he did
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: it great, but I don't like him in that role,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I guess, but but yes, he did he did it great. Also,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: like the what's your.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Name Margaret quality Quali qually.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Something like that. Okay, So I also didn't like how
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: they were just the like the exercise teacher, Like that's
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: what they were like. They weren't even really like an.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Actress, they were just like I love it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I can't know no.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Visually, it was beautiful. I think it was the best
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: looking movie of the year. The sound was fantastic. Now,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you guys watched this at home, so you missed out
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: on the theater quality sound. But the score, like the
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: music was, was top notch. The sound design fantastic. Visually,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the setting, the sets, everything about it was great. The
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: prosthetic makeup. I'm a big horror movie fan, so I
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: loved the movie like The Fly and the Thing, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: if you're fans of those movies, you would definitely like
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: this movie. One of the big issues I have with
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you two is you're bashing me for liking this movie
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: as if I made you watch it. I never said
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: for you guys to watch it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: We didn't bash you.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: We just we just tagged team in me.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: We just said that we didn't like. Actually, I think
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Lisa was the one that told us to watch it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: We knew that you had watched it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Michel, friend of ours, said watch the movie, and then
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I said to her, I watched the movie. She's like, Oh,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it's fantastic, and then weeks go by you say to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: her you don't like the movie, and then she's like,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I hated the movie completely backtrack.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she just wants to whoever's talking wants to make
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: them happy. So if you liked it, she liked it,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: you didn't like it, she didn't like it. But no,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: we never said that you made us watch it. We
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: knew that you liked it. And again, the first hour
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: and twenty hour and thirty I was in. I was in,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: and then I wasn't, and then for me it completely
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: lost everything that it was doing.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Well, these are not the movies that you're into, which
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: is why if you actually asked me, you know, which
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: movie to watch on my top five list, that would
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: probably be the last one i'd recommend. Just especially your
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: girlfriend Jackie, based on the movies that she likes. This
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: is not a Jackie movie.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Well, she actually is the one who wanted to watch it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't get me wrong. When we saw it
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: come out, we said we're gonna watch this. Yeah, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: then that night I was like, Hey, which which movie
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: you want to watch? And she's like, let's watch The Substance.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: And I watched My Penguin Friend well that one.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we probably should.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Have been nice and cute and a nice little penguin guy. Yeah, no,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: weird sex, you know, destruction, zombie things happening. So I mean,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I liked it. It seems like you you liked aspects
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: of it, which is why when you say it's the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: worst movie ever, it's clearly not. There's so many worst
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: movies out there. There are movies that are shot ugly,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: there's movies that have terrible sound mixing. There's movies that
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: have terrible acting. This had none of them, There's no.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: And there's movies that are just bad from beginning to end.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Like I said, the first hour and twenty hour and
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: thirty was fine, it was good. I'll even say it
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: was good. But the last forty minutes completely completely for me,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: terming completely off. But I also, I guess I don't
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: watch movies like you with sound mixing and sets and scores.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: My big thing, whether I like a movie or not
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: is do I like the actual movie, not now it's
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: made and stuff like that, which I don't even know
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: if I would know how to watch it for that purpose.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. The main thing that
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I take away from movie is did I like the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: movie with a plot? Good? But there are other things
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that I look at, like visual. It's just super important
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to me these days. Watching the movie Nosferatu was such
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: a treat because it was such a visually appealing movie.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I remember you talking about that. Was it good?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I liked it. I liked it. I would not recommend
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: it again.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Not a Jackie movie.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Not a Jackie movie. I don't think it's a Jonathan
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: movie either, potentially, But it's weird. There's like sexual things
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: going on, there's body horror, and it's a lot of
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: elements that are similar to the substance in that aspect.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: But that movie is about a vampire. Correct. Yeah, okay,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: so that's expected in a vampire movie. If you have
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: some looking creature, that's fine. It's a vampire movie. It's
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: obviously fake. I mean, but you.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Didn't see like the trailers for the substance or see
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that people are saying this is like the best body
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: horror movie going into this, that this was going to
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: be a fucked up, you know, body horror experience.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, but only because you see in the the post
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: her back right. So I knew it was something weird
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: like that, And like you said, the makeup and everything
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: with Demi Moore was fantastic as they aged her. When
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the other girl stayed out too long and it was
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: killing her and her body, that was fine. I understood
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: that part. Again, it was the creature thing at the
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: end that completely I can understand that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and say that's not
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: for everybody. It's it's an eclectic sort of taste. So
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: we'll see what it does when the Academy Awards come.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Up, which I don't get that. I don't get that either.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: What were there that many bad movies last year that
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: that's the front runner.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: For Best Actress? Oh, just for I don't think it's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Best a Picture. I don't think it's gonna win. As
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: of now, as of this recording, we don't even know
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: if it's nominated for it. But this has been a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: week year for these Oscar type of movies. And the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: one movie that I know you want to see, at least, Jackie,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I know I've talked about it is The Brutalist with
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Adrian Brody, which is playing nowhere locally. Really, it's playing
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: only in like in Manhattan, and Brooklyn, and I'm hoping
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that changes because it just won a bunch of awards
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: at the Golden Globe. So usually when these movies start
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to win awards, they'll start to put them out in
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the theaters. So I'm hoping. I mean, if this movie
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: wins the Oscar for Best Picture, can at least be
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: released on Long Island.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: And like you said, that's three and a half hours
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: is a lot. And I heard they give you an intermission.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: That's what I already said from you.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know who told me. I think Jackie told me,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: but I thought you told her. But no, I guess
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: not no, So I don't.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Know who knows. But that is something that I wouldn't mind,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: like we said, happening in future movies. Let's get to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: one other thing before we get to our main event,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: which is we're going to be talking about three movies
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that we wish we could see in theaters for the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: first time ever. We're getting in a hypothetical time machine.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: You can even change your age if you want to say, like, oh,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'm five year old Jonathan and I'm watching this movie
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: for the first time. You could do that. You could
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: go back in time, so you could be in the thirties,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: you could be in the forties, fifties. You're putting yourself
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in that setting watching the movie with an audience for
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the first time. What would be those movies? But before
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: we get to that, I want to talk briefly about
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: renting movies at Blockbuster, because I just had a caller
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: call up the radio show I'm on Radio Rumbles Saturday
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: twelve to two. I was talking to this guy, Charlie
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: about Blockbuster Video and how much fun we had going
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: to it when we were younger, and I have such
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: fond memories of going there renting not just movies but
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: video games. I even rented video game consoles because you
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: could get the suitcase with the PlayStation one in it,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and I remember taking that home and playing some helicopter
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: game and just being blown away at the graphical improvement
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: from the Super Nintendo to you know, the three D
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: centric world of the PlayStation One. But renting movies, VHS, tapes, DVDs,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: just roaming around the aisles and looking at the cover art.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: It was such a fun time to go there, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I miss it dearly because it's just such a part
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: of my childhood.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more Blockbuster on a Friday night,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: picking out your movies for the weekend, grabbing your candy,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: you know that was I used to go to the
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: one I'm talking When I'm in my early twenties, I
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: moved down the Long Island and I used to go
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: to the one in Ocean Side.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's two in Ocean Side. There was one by
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the ihop that's the one.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, by Atlantic.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep, exactly what are you're talking? On the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: way towards Nathan's. Yeah, Nathan's was another place that's no
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: longer there. They have another Nathan's. They moved to a
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: smaller area. Okay, but the old, the giant Nathan's with
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the right on the corner, Yeah, we'd go there. There
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: was a KB Toys that's no longer there. Correct, that
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: became a toys to us. But we used to do
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the route we go. You know, you go far down
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: to KB, get your toy, go back to Nathan's, eat
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: your French fries, play the arcade game, then go home,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: maybe rent the movie from Blockbuster. I went to the
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: one in Baldwin. Okay, well, if there was no tape
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: at the bald one.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: We'd go to the Oh yeah. You always had a
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: call and check where they were if you really wanted
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to see it, and.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Then calling up saying do you have this FIFA game?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we have it. I drove down there.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah we don't have it. I would think, what do
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you You don't have it? You said you had it,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: we drove here.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I would call up and be like, hey, do you
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: have this movie? And they're like no, we're all out.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, check the returns, check the returns. Yeah, and
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: they'd be like, oh, yeah, there's one in there. I'm like,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I'll be there in ten minutes older for me, Like yeah, no.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: We used to do that all the time. I mean,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: if it was a popular movie, they would have a
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: whole wall of it, just a one movie and it
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: would still sell out. Yeah, and it's like all right,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: well when did they returning it or you know? I
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I used to be a big blockbuster guy.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: You ever do Hollywood video?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think I was just a
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: straight blockbuster. And then after Blockbuster it was red Box.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I never did really I used to because I used
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: to go to the seven to eleven. Yeah, get my cigarettes,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: my call fee, whatever. And then red Box, red Box.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you that was like the new Blockbuster
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: for me for a while. And now, I mean if
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: you see a red Box anywhere, you're like, wow, that
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: that's ancient.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, outdated.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I love about Blockbuster the fact that you would let
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: movies breathe. And what I mean by that is if
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you rented a movie at Blockbuster, you were stuck with
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: that movie. So with Netflix, you have five hundred movies
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: on Netflix, you have five hundred movies on Peacock, Amazon, Hulu,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: all these things. There's two thousand movies at your disposal
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: at any given time, So if you don't like something
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: after five minutes, you could turn it off. Ye. And
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of these movies took time to breathe, and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: and you gave it an opportunity when you would rent
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to that Blockbuster because it was your only option. And
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I love that idea that you know, I remember renting
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Frankenstein from back in the day, you know, the nineteen thirties, Frankistan.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine watching that today because it'd be like,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: this is boring us help. But then I ended up
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: loving it, and I love that ability of renting a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: movie with the family. We would have family movie nights,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the whole family. My dad was huge in the Blockbuster.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: We had the gold membership for Blockbuster, and just so
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: many fun memories renting wrestling tapes, you know, because I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: got into wrestling in nineteen ninety five. But I would
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: see all these tapes of guys and be like, Sean Michaels, Oh,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: he used to wrestle back in the day, Like he
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: had a mullet. This is insane. And then he'd be like, oh,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: he was a bad guy because he was a good
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: guy when I started watching, But then I find the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: tape like, oh, he's fighting mister Perfect, but mister Perfect
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: is a good guy, and show Michaels is a bad guy.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: This is insane. So I'd rent all these old Royal
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: rumboldts and WrestleManias and just looking at the cover art
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: and being fascinated by the way it looked, and uh,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: you know the beauty of not having the Internet is
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you didn't know who won the Royal Rumble that year.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: So she'd be like, I don't know, maybe British Bulldog
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: wins it. This year. But nowadays you can look up
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: anything instantaneous.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Anything you want at your fingertips.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: It's a big problem I think with society. It takes
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: away from conversations because and there's no debate. You could say,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: you know who had a better season in two thousand
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: and two, Barry Bonds or you know whomever, and then
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you just go, well, I have the stature, seventy three
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: guys all this stuff. But back in the day, you
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: could even have an argument, like Douf Lungern was in
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that movie. He'd be like, no, he wasn't like he
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: was in that movie, and it would be like a
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: four hour conversation, like I remember he said this line.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Now you just go look at his IMDb and look
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: up all dof Lunger in movies. So that's one of
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the issues. I like technology. I love the advancement of technology.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I like AI believe it or not. I like the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: fact that I can listen to music. I could listen
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to this podcast. Wherever we want to listen to podcasts,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I could get directions. I would be lost if they
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: said get to hear to Hartford, Connecticut. Back in the day,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: do you remember the map?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Do you remember you either had to use a map
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: or then you printed off the step by step directions.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Some map quests four pages.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: My parents trying to get the Pennsylvania caused nineteen arguments
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and probably could have ended the marriage if my father
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: lived longer. But that's all gone now with the beauty
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: of technology. So there are good things for it. But
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: those simpler times, we're going to Blockbuster on a cold
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: night and you're stuck inside and it's raining, and you
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: rented two video games and two movies, and you got
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the whole weekend or a slumber party.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say slumber party. I was just
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: gonna say, you get you know, a bunch of friends, Like, yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go get these movies. Yeah, I got the candy,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: you get the soda, you get the pizza, and just
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: hang out for you know, not leave your house for
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: two days, yep, and just have a blast.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You'd watch a movie. I used to watch a movie,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the same movie five times over a weekend. Really, if
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I rented like a movie, I like, if I read
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Mortal Kombats out on VHS, I'm gonna rent Mortal Kombat.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Then you'd watch it. And then you just watch them again,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: you'd watch it four or five times before their return.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: The Netflix, so yeah, get your money's worth, right.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: And then, speaking of food, there's a McDonald's right next
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to our Blockbuster. So what I would do is my
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: mom would drive in the drive through. I tell her, okay,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I want to Hamburger happy Meal and then you know, mcflurry,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and then I'd run out of the car, run into Blockbuster,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: get my thing, and then you know, try and time it,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: time it out, run out, and then she'd be getting
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the food and I'd get right into the front of
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the car and just you know, like a quick drive by,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: get home, and then watch the movie. But a lot
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of these movies you wouldn't even know if it was
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be good or not. You'd have to just base
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: it off of the cover art and read the synopsis
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: on the back. And it made for some fun times.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Watching bad movies was also really fun back in the day.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: You'd rent something crappy and you just laugh along with it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: It was more fun than now going to the theater
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: and watching bad movies and sitting there.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, well those are the good old days.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I miss it, and these kids.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Will never know it. No they'll never know it, you said.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I collect VHS tapes. I'm a big fan of just
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: nostalgia in general, but just that artwork, and yeah, the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: kids will never know. And you know, forty years from now,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the kids that our kids now are gonna be like, well,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you don't know about you don't know about TikTok, you
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: don't know about the Rizzler and all these things that
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that Every generation says that, because I'm sure older generations
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: would say, oh, you don't remember paying ten cents and
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: watching a Looney Tune short before a movie. So generations
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: just hated the next generation.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what else had to.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Walk six miles back and forth up hill in the
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: snow every single day to school.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's heard that one.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the main event, Jonathan. Let's get to
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: the movies we would want to see in theaters for
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the first time ever. So in our hypothetical time machine,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: we're traveling back in time to watch three movies for
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the very first time. I'm with an audience. I'm gonna
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: start off with some honorable mentions. I don't know if
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: you have any honorable mentions, but I'm gonna throw out
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: a few of them. Okay, number one Ghostbusters from nineteen
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: eighty four. The world loved this movie. I've talked to
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: my old therapist about how big this movie was and
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: how New York City essentially embraced the Ghostbusters as you know,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: mascots of the city. And he lived in the city
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: at the time, and he would say he would go
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: walking down the street, he'd see people selling bootleg Ghostbusters
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: shirts and it was a phenomenon. And I love those actors,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and I love the mixing of genres. You have comedy,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you have science fiction. You have all this cool technology,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the ghost trap, the the proton packt the vehicles. I'm
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a big fan of movie vehicles, and the ECDO one,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the vehicle that they drive in is fantastic. But then
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: you have just a great chemistry of the cast of
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, Rick moranis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: and so forth. And a great poster. That's another thing
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: that I haven't really talked too much about on film reel,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a very simplistic poster of just the symbol, the no
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Ghost symbol. You walk around the movie theater next time,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Jonathan and look out. Ugly posters are. They're all just
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: just completely too much. They're too busy. And the simplicity
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: of a Jurassic Park poster or a Ghostbuster's poster or
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: a Batman nineteen eighty nine poster, where it's just a
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: symbol and there's intrigue and there's mystery and you don't
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: really know what you're getting into. The poster art is
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: definitely a lost thing. But Ghostbusters would definitely be one
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: of my honorable mentions. Did you have any ones that
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: you didn't put on your list?
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, not that I would want to see. But
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: when I looked up, you know, I kind of googled,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: you know, great movies to see in the theater, and
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: a lot that I saw that kept coming up were
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Lawrence of Arabia, two thousand and one Space Odyssey.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: That's definitely one visually, for sure, that'd be cool on.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: The basic I know you liked this movie. Don't think
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: you like the second one, but both Blade Runners.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the first Blade Runner I very much like. Back
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: to two thousand and one Space Out of See that
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: same therapist that told me about Ghostbusters, he told me
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: he took acid and watched two thousand and one Space
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: out of Sea and sat on the floor, laid down
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: in the front row and just watched the entire movie
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: on acid.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're my therapist.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: If you're like, I think this is gonna be our last.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Sesson mad Max Furry Road.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Which I did see in theaters. Did you get Did
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you see that one in theaters?
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Did you see it yet?
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I did see it?
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I love it.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's definitely a good movie to see
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: in the theater with all the action. I watched that
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: far chase or well, I don't know, not car, but yeah,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: their vehicles in the in the desert and all that
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: stuff with the sound sound was definitely.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: And I remember watching that with my ex and I
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: was just smiling and I looked over to her and
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is the greatest thing I've ever
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: seen in my life because it's like there's like a
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: forty five minute just action in sequence and it never
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: lets up, and it's a lot of practical effects. There's
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: very little cgi in that movie actually, you know, it's
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: a stunt work. It's all the classic things that you
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: would get in old Hollywood. So that's definitely one I
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: would love to see again.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: And then the last one was Titanic.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Did you see that in theaters? What?
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, really, I might have.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't remember. Twenty years ago, nineteen ninety seven,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: seven years ago, I remember, I don't know. I was fifteen, Okay,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I was younger, and I remember because I remember Kate
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Winslet's breast.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why you remember it.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I remember my grandma covering, trying to cover my eyes.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: You're like, no, no, I'm good, I'm good. I'm good.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: It's historical. These are historical breasts.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: This is a historic you know movie here.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: I started three D a few years ago, so you
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: got three D breasts. It's fantastic. Oh man, that's a
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: lot of people don't like that movie. I love Titanic movie.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I love it. I think it's it's a masterpiece. I
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: got some other honorable mentions. A few of them I
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: actually did see in theaters, Jurassic Parks, which I've seen
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: a lot in theaters. I've seen several different anniversaries. I
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: saw when I was re released in three D. I
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: saw it when I was four and a half years old,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: so I was young and I remember it, but I
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: don't remember all of it. I'm very young, so I
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: wouldn't of mind have been a little bit older. I
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: was like eight or nine years old, would have been cool.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety three, okay, so I was eleven, And did
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: you see it in theaters?
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: You had to have again? Remember, I do know that
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: I saw the newest one in theaters.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Terrible, the last one that just came out like two
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: years ago, I think, so yeah, that was I think
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: the worst movie I saw that year, if I remember correctly,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: and then the previous one was actually the worst movie
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I saw that year. I fucking hate those movies. And
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I love Jurassic Park. It's my top five favorite movies.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: So that's definitely what i'd want to see again. Happy
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Gilmore is one i'd want to see again in theaters.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I remember seeing that with my father and my brother
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and just laughing our ass. If we went to all
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the Sandler movies when I was a kid, we saw
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Gilmore water Boy Wedding Singer Big Daddy, And uh, it's
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: unfortunate that no, because that was right before Gilmore, so
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: we had to rent that one. But it's unfortunate that
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: A his movies kind of sucked these days, and B
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: he's on Netflix exclusive guy.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he went he went down. He made a lot
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: of bad movies after he made a lot of good ones.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: It was at Jack and Jill. Oh my god.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I've talked to a few people
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: here that love Jack and Joel really and I'm like,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: you need to go to therapy.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, watch Jack and Jill again.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: It's terrible Jack and Joel. It's actually uh, it's like
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: a weird scheme. Actually too. There's so much product placement
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: in Jack and Jill because it's done by Sony. And
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: I watched a whole video this this YouTube channel, Red
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Letter Media, which is my favorite YouTube channel. They review
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: movies and they just broke down just how awful. It
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: seems like a weird scheme that Adam Sandler just gets
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: money for plugging you know, Sony products and Coca Cola products.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Very very interesting look back, but that, you know, that
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: first Sandler movie I saw in theaters is something I'll
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: never forget. A few other ones. I mentioned this one
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: earlier with the poster, and that would be Batman, which
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I did get to see last year. It was celebrating
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I guess it's thirty fifth anniversary and it was released
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: during Batman Day, which I guess is the thing. They
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: released like four or five different Batman movies in theaters,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and I've seen every single Batman movie in theaters from
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: its initial release except Batman nineteen eighty nine. So luckily
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I did get to see it eventually, but it was
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: in like a dingy theater with only three or four
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: people in it. I would have loved to have seen
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: it when Batmania was sweeping the nation in nineteen eighty
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: nine and every kid had all the Batman toys and
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the Batman you know, t shirts and posters. And I
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: remember seeing Batman Returns in a drive in theater, which
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: is the only time I went to go to see
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: a drive And I saw Batman Forever in theaters and
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Batman and which was terrible, then all the Nolan movies,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: and I really love the latest Batman movie that came
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: out with Robert Pattinson.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Didn't see it.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Fantastic, really fantastic. It is a work of art.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Visually, it's probably the best looking movie of the last
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: twenty five years. Okay, I'm gonna go on the record
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: and say that it is a visual masterpiece. It's not perfect.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I don't like Bruce Wayne in it. I like Robert
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Pattinson's Batman a lot, and the villain the Riddler is fantastic.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: But who's that Paul Dano, who's a really good actor.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: He played Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and the
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Brian Wilson biopic. He was in There Will Be Bloody,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: and he's been in a few other movies. He was
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: in Dumb Money, the movie about the.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah with jesseurg No, no, no, no no. It was
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: the other kid that played clits On in Girl next Door.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: He played the main guy in Dumb Money.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Dumb Money, that's the one. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's Paul Dano.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: The to the Moon Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Paul
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Dano Girl next Door.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I like him. Yeah. I think he's a good actor.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he fantastic. He plays the Riddler, does a great job.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I can see that.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I would have thought Emil Hirsch, speaking of Girl next Door,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: I think I would have thought he'd be a lot
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: more famous than he was.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't really do much.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: He's a pretty decent actor.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: So those are some of the movies I definitely would
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: want to see. One other one honorable mention is King
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Kong from nineteen thirty three.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: That makes sense.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I mean just to be with an audience in the thirties,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: where yes, there were special effects movies before that, But
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: to go from you know, those those dinosaur movies from
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: the nineteen twenties, you know, The Lost World and movies
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: like that, to what nineteen thirty threes Kong did is
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: such a leap in technology and to see that on
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the big screen definitely would have been a treat. So
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: let's get to the main event, the three movies we'd
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: want to see in theaters for the first time with
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: an audience. I'm gonna start, Jonathan, go ahead with The Exorcist.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I love The Exorcist, is my favorite horror movie of
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: all time. And I hear the stories. I hear the
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: stories of audience members seeing this for the first time
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: and losing their shit.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, they like throwing up in the.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Theater, were passing out, They were just they were they
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: never saw anything like this because movies in the sixties
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: for the most part, were so tame. Then by the
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: late sixties they start to get a little more violent.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: You know, your Bonnie and Clydes and movies like that.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Started to come out. But when the seventies turned around,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: that's when you got all these visionary film directors. You know,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: your Coppolas, your Scorsesees. Even George Lucas at the time
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: was a you know, a revolutionary filmmaker. And William Friedkin
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: is right there with the Exorcists, and they're doing some
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: crazy stuff in this movie. I mean, this woman, this
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: young girl, she's a teenager. She's literally taking across and
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: stabbing her private parts with blood coming out of it.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, imagine seeing a movie like like a Chitty
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Chitty Bang Bang, like four years prior to that, and
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you go from that to The Exorcist. It's like night
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: and day. So I would have loved to have been
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: there to see it when it went down and it
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: made so much money and it was just a juggernaut
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: of a film. I mean, Linda Blair got nominated for
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Best Actress at the Academy Awards. She was the youngest
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: nominee ever at the time, and that's certainly one I
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: would love to just go and see, like an older audience,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: an audience that was fifty sixty years old and remembers
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: watching movies when they were silent going from that to
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: the tame fifties and sixties era to that Exorcist.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: And I don't even I don't even think you want
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: to go watch the movie. You just want to watch
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: everybody's reaction to the audience exactly.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want if people screaming and giggling and
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: are you have you seen The Exorcist years ago? It's
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: It's one of my favorites and one that if I
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: watched by myself at night two am, I'm losing my mind.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I've freaked out.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: It is uh, just very ear all the lights on,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: all the lights immediately on after.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: And then looney Tunes have to be on.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: So when you used to watch a movie like that,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we all did this. When you were like
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: younger and then you had to like gulfstairs to your room,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: you always ran up.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: The same run, run full speed and have to turn
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: on something like as.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: You're flicking the light off, you're you're doing it in
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: a run, like you're already three steps into your run
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: and smacking the light down and then running and jumping
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: on your bed like okay, I'm okay, I'm right, I'm okay.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: I think every person did that, and if they say
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: they didn't, they're lovely liars.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: And and I still do that. Actually, that's the other thing.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: The scary thing is I told you I watched these
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: movies in theaters by myself. If I watch a really
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: scary movie by myself, then I have to get in
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: the car, you know, looking around, like who's in there?
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Looking in the back seat, make sure it noways laying
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: down ready to kidnap you.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: So I got Exorcist number one or one of my three.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Let's go with one of yours now, all right.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: So you already made fun of me last time I
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: was on for this movie, saying it was one of
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: my favorite of all time, the Wizard of Oz. And
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: the reason that I would want to see this in
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: movies is I actually mentioned this to you. I personally
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: thought it was the first movie ever done in color.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I found out it was not. It was the first
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: full length movie that used technicolor. There was. The first
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: one ever in color was a nineteen oh eight, eight
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: minute British short. Uh it was it cold? I had
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: it here.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Well, whatever it was, it clearly didn't have the impact
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: that the Wizards.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a visit to the seaside eight minute
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: British short film released in nineteen oh eight. Then you
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: had the animated snow White was the first full length
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: color movie with sound in nineteen thirty seven.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Which was a juggernaut and you know, put Disney on
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the map for sure.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: But the actual so the first color movie like full
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: length is considered The World, the Flesh and the Devil
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: from ninth teen fourteen, but that used some other kind
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: of color, Kinema color, okay, and it wasn't the same
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: as the technicolor.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't look good.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: And you could just think, like when you watch The
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz, you're like, okay, I'm watching another black
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: and white film and then all of a sudden Oz
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: comes out and it's just all these colors and everything
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: like that. And again I already said it's one of
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: my favorite movies. But I think that because that changed
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: how movies were made, and just to see everybody, like
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: you said, everybody's expression the theater when they get to
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Oz and you're just like wow.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because I'm I know, movie trailers have been
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: around forever even before Wizard of Oz, but they were
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: done completely different, okay, And I'm going to assume that
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: majority of the audiences had no idea that this was
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: not going to be a black and white movie, especially
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: if you're watching the first twenty five minutes of it
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: and it is black and white. You don't expect that
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: jump to the beautiful technicolor which has aged tremendously. Watched
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: The Wizard of Oz, which I did in theaters a
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: few years ago, and it's just as beautiful as it was,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: you know, extraordinary, you know, sets and costumes and great characters.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I mean those characters are iconic.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: The silhouette of them. You don't even need to see them.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: If you just see a silhouette of them, you know
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: exactly who they are. It's the most famous movie of
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: all time.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agreed, And uh, that's why I would want
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: to see it.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: I have no issue with that. You've never seen it
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: in theaters, not even for any release. No, damn, I
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: wish I knew you a few years ago. We could
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: have went together for Judy Garland's one hundredth birthday. Now,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: I used to as a kid. I used to get
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: stoned and watch The Wizard of Oz sync it up
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: I never did it, but I've obviously heard that. Yeah,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: and is it Is it an experience worth trying or not?
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I would say so, especially if you're with the
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: right people, because we would do it, and you know,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: we'd be at my friend's house and it's just this
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: goofy atmosphere and I don't even know if it really works,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: but in your mind it's working, like she's looking at
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: certain things and then the songs are changing, and he
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: had surrounded sound, so when she would look like from
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: side to side the sound of and I love Pink Floyd.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: They're one of my favorite bands, and that's one of
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: my favorite, if not my favorite album of all time.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: And uh, when they actually get to OZ, that's when
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: the song money kicks in, which is a bad as
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: tract exactly, so right when she opens that door money,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: it's fucking awesome.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: So it's got to be weird though, because you obviously
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: watched the movie with no sound on because you're.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Just and then you have to click play when the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: MGM Lion does its third roar, you can't play on
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: dark side, and then we usually give up, like you know,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: once the album ends, because you're not going.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: To like, oh, it doesn't go the whole movie.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. Maybe I don't know. We usually
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: so I want to say the album is shorter than
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: the movie. But like I said, we probably gave up
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: and stopped watching and you know, played video games or whatnot.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: And you know, that was just some random dude on
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: drugs one night list into Pink Floyd and it was
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: like this goes. He's like, yeah, this goes.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know who was the first guy to figure
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: And some sober person did it and they're like, what
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: was this guy talking about. I think it was your
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: therapist that sorted He's like, wait, this actually goes to
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: the movie.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: And then his person that he's working with is like
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: telling serious like issues in their life, like I want
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: to end my Life's like, yeah, but have you watched.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Dark Side with It'll it'll turn it around. It'll turn
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: your life around.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Let's get to a comedy, because I talked to my
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: audience with the film reel last week about how little
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: comedies are out there and how bad they are, and
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: my favorite comedic actor is no longer around and I
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: never had the pleasure of seeing him on the big screen.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: So if I'm going to pick one movie of his,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the nineteen ninety five classic Tommy Boy.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Chris Farley, Chris.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Farley, David Spade do well. It's not just the comedy,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: but it's got heart to it. You feel for Tom Callahan,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: he loses his father and it could be emotional and
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: it's got you know, it's got great chemistry between Spade
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: and Farley, and who knows what they would have done.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Chris Farley is one of those what ifs? What would
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: he have done? When you have became a serious actor,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: you look at, you know, guys like Bill Murray, You
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: look at guys like Eddie Murphy, guys that have put
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: on Oscar caliber type of performances. Even Sandler and Uncut
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Gems a few years ago put on a really good performance.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Farley had the acting chops. You see him cry in
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Black Sheep a few years after Tommy Boy, and he's
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: given a decent performance. So he actually was going to
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: be Shrek. I don't know if you know that he
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: recorded ninety five percent of his dialogue and then died,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: and they have a bunch of test footage out there,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: and it's one of those movies I would love to
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: actually have be released is the Farley Cotton Yeah, but
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: then he died and they're like, listen, if we're gonna
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: make sequels on this. We got a recast and they
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: got another SNL guy, Mike Myers. But I would love
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: to watch this movie with an audience in theaters because
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: I want to let with a crowd, and I this
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: is my favorite comedy of all time and just getting
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: to see Farley, who's so larger than life, and I
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: never got to see him in the largest form on
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: the big screen. I'm hoping they release it in theaters
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: this year for a thirtieth anniversary. I can't believe it's
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: thirty years since Tommy Boy's been out. But it's one
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: I actually picked up on VHS last year and it's
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: one of my favorites. It's a family favorite of ours
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: and definitely one i'd want to see on the big screen.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: So you obviously still have a VCR. Yeah, that's impressive.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: I just took my grandma's VCR as a whole debacle
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: because my VCR stopped working. And some of them are
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: pricey actually believe, especially if you have the controller that
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: could be you know, fifty sixty bucks, and I asked
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: my grandma, who's ninety six years old and hasn't turned
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: on her VCR in thirty years. I said, Grandma, can
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I please have this VCR? No? No, I said, please.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: You're never going to use this. In fact, last time
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: you tried to use the DVD player on it and
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: it was a whole catastrophe. Her helper, her aid, couldn't
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: figure it out. I had to turn around my car
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: and figure out how to get off of the DVD.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: So please, can I have this? No. Three weeks go by,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: my mom visits and she says, oh, Nanny says, you
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: can have the VCR. Thank you, Thank you, Nanny. Then
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: we're watching Miracle on thirty fourth Street. I say, can
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I have that VCR? She said, okay, sure, I unplug it.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Granted it's only plugged into the electrical outlet. It's not
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: connected to the TV. Has been connected to the TV
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: in four or five years. I unplug it. Ten minutes
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: go by, the streaming of Miracle on thirty fourth Street
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: starts buffering. She goes, that's because you want to put no, Nanny,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with that. It's it's like
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: it wasn't even connected. It's just the streaming, like the
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Internet must be bad. Oh okay, yeah, ten minutes go by,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: it buffers again. Now this doesn't have to do with
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: because you unplugged it. Like listen the Wi Fi vcr
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: fi but the VCR is fantastic.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Tommy Boy was a great movie. Spade and
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Farley were They just work so well together.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: And they have such a weird dynamic off the screen because, uh,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Farley obviously had his drug issues and he was clean
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: actually during Tommy Boy, but they had a volatile relationships.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Farley seems like a handful. He seems like a guy
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: you'd want to hang out with and then you wouldn't want.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: To small dose.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: He seems like he can get out of control.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Loud, and he eats a lot, and he's just you know,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: doing drugs and uh, but they they were actually beefing
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: on the set of Black Sheep and Farley was supposed
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: to be in a few movies. You're supposed to be
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: a cable guide and Jim Carrey took that role and
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: who knows what he would have done, but definitely one
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: of those movies. I mean, Johnathan, this list could change.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I could think of one hundred movies. Of course i'dn't
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: even pick. And I'm gonna say it because I think
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: you might actually pick this one. There's one movie though
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: definitely could easily be on this list, but we're gonna
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: save it. So what's your number two movie you'd want
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: to see in theater?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Just real quick? The best part of watching a comedy
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: in the theaters is when everybody is laughing so much
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: that you actually miss you have to rewatch the movie
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: because you miss so many jokes because you're laughing. And
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: the last movie that I saw that I remember like
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: that is And I don't know if you I've definitely
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: brought this up to you before, and I'm not sure
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: if you like it. But were the Millers.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Never saw it, never saw Jason.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Sedakas, Jennifer Amiston dying las Yeah, like again, how to
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: watch it? Because I was like, I don't remember that, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh yeah, because everybody was laughing for
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: ten minutes straight and you know, you missed the next
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: three four jokes. And I'm a big Jason Dagas fan,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: and I thought the movie was was hilarious and great
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: and just I like his type of comedy.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I think the two hardest laughs I've ever had in
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: a movie theater would be bor At Okay and Jackass two.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: I was stoned out of my mom with my buddy
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Tylerry watching both of these movies. But Jackass. I love
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: the Jackass movies. Those are my guys. I thought the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: last one that came out was one of the funniest
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: movies ever. I think they're all hilarious, but Jackass two
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: to me is by far the best.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: And they're nuts, those guys are.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: They're insane, out of their minds. And and now you know,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Steve O's sober and he's still doing this stuff. So
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: all right, what do you got? Number two?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: So originally I wrote down Rocky.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: I was the one I was.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: However I need to see However, I think I would
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: rather see Rocky four, only because again, now you're in
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: an audience with people, right, they've seen the other Rockies,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: the first one, of course, you know it's the first
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: time you're seeing it. It's a great movie, Rocky. But
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: the ending, right is, I don't I don't even remember
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: now he he doesn't correct, But that's the beauty.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: But to see everybody's reaction when he beats Strago in
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: a movie theater with you know, the big sound and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: the lights and everything. I think I think I would
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: have to pay Rocky four if I had to pick a.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Rock with a very pro American crowd, that would be great.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, with Trump and a couple other people.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be That would be fun.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not going to watch it in Russia.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go to Russia to watch it. That
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: would probably be a different Uh.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Change, you can change, change, man. I love Rocky four.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: I did a whole Rocky series on the film reel.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Rocky is my favorite film series of all time. Okay,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: the first one is my favorite. I would rank it.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: This is how I believe I had the ranking, the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Ranky Rockings, the Rocky rankings. Definitely one was one. I
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: want to say three was number two. I love clubber Lang,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: mister T. I love thunderlips in the flesh.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: And that's when the tiger is that when Drago kills
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: that's the beginning of four.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: That's the beginning. Okay, So three is uh, mister mister T.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: And then the eye of the tiger, Apollo helps him
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I would rank and this is the hot take here.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna rake Rocky two, which no one talks about,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: as my third best one. Wow, and then I'll put
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Rocky four.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, that's I know. It's a hot and I
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: love Rocky four, and I love the score of Rocky
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: four by Vince Nicola. It's it's a Bill Conte. Bill
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Kanti rather did the music for all the Rocky movies
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: except Rocky four, and Rocky four is a very synth
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: heavy film score. And I actually interviewed Bill Conti on
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: a radio show years ago. He did the film score
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: the Transformers of the movie was my favorite movie of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: all time. Terrible movie, but I love it. Old one
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: from eighty six, favorite movie of all time. But Rocky
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: four is no story for the most part. So it's
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: like it's like an hour fifteen minute montage and it's great.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: It goes from one training scene to the other. I
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: love it. I'm not saying I don't like it, but
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have the story that one and two have.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: One and two we're like really great movies. Three and four,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: our cartoons come to life. Five is terrible. Yeah, I
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: still love it. Six is really good.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: Actually, was that Rocky Ba or just Balboa? Rocky Balboa,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: Rocky Balbo. Yeah, okay. Fantastic five is with Tommy Gunn Yeah, okay,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: So I.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Would I would go one, three, two, four, six, five,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: And then the Creed movies are fantastic.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't see the last one, Go one two three, yeah, okay, Yeah,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: Creed was a very very good movie.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: The problem with three is there's no Rocky. He needs
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: the loan in that movie. And and I don't even
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: I love those characters so much. And I was so
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: sad when Pauli died a few years ago, and when
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Apollo Creed, you know, Carl Webers died last year. I
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: was so upset with that. And and those characters are
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: so good that you don't even to me, I don't
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: even need Rocky to be a boxer in the movie.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: I'm so I just love that character. That. Yeah, he
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: obviously can't fight in the ring, even though Stallone probably
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: would want to. What's the problem, Like, I'm eighty years old.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: I'm an eighty year old boxer, you know. But I
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: think those characters are so good that you can have
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: him just you know, owning his business or having a
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: relationship with his son, and I think it.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Works that way owning a gym, right.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, he got fucked over with that. That's why
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: he wasn't in Creed three. He makes like nope, well
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make no money. But he didn't own any
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: of the rights to Rocky So he gets screwed royally
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: out of out of what could have been, you know,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars. He doesn't get any of it.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Well because he wrote Rocky Road and he did it
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: himself because nobody would let him be in it, and
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: he wasn't going to let anybody else do it, right, Yeah.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he doesn't have any of the steak and
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: the merchandise or any of them.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you. For as old as he is now,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: which would you say, seventy five eighty?
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think seventy five.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: You ever watched Tulsa King, No, I heard, it's terrible.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: I like it. I enjoy it. It's I mean, I
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: saw it's a no brainer show. Yeah, but he's a
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: mafia guy, goes to jail for twenty five years and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: they send them they basically like screw them over and
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: send them to Tulsa and he becomes the Tulsa King.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, he couldn't do a boxing match.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: But he's still in great shape for as old as
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: he is. I mean, he's never gonna not be in
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: good shape.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: He's on so many steroids. Well, yeah, so he's got
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: three smoking hot daughters.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: One of them's in it. Actually, oh yeah, one of
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: them's in it.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one, so maybe I'll have to
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: watch just for the daughters. So Rocky four interesting, interesting take.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I remember talking with my father about him seeing the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: first Rocky in theaters and how into it the crowd
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: was and they're all chanting because you know, they want
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: they want Rocky to win. And I think he was
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: talking to me about Rocky two in particular, because they're
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: both knocked out on the ground and it's a standing
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: ten count and they both have to try and get up,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: and I remember him just telling me how crazy the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: crowd was, and it's just I love that movie. The seventies,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: although not my favorite decade for movies, probably had the
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: best movies of all time. I'm an eighties guy. I
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: love this the schlocky, shitty eighties type of movies, but
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: the seventies. That's when you had like Art. You know,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: your Dog Day Afternoons, your Surpicos, your Godfather's, your Rockies, Jaws,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: films like that.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: They had good stories to them. Now we watch movies
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: and it's like, what's the story? Or I've been saying
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: this a lot recently, is these movies have good premise,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: they're just not done properly.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: The last ten minutes of Rocky is one of the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: greatest endings ever et Close Encounters with the Third Kind,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Rocky and Field of Dreams are the four, in my opinion,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: best endings to any movies of all time. And Rocky
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: it's just everything, the music, the no Adrian, we did it.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: And like you said, I could picture people in the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: movies basically acting like they're at the boxing match, like
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: you said, yelling stream and cheering, like not watching a
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: movie like you're out of boxing match.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: That movie changed lives. I mean, there's a reason why
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Sylvester Sloan is in the Boxing Hall of Fame because
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: of that movie. I mean, it rejuvenated a sport which
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: was falling from grace. You know, you still had Ali boxing,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: but he was a shell of his former self. And
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: when people think of boxing, they think Ali, they think Tyson,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: and they think Rocky. Yeah, he's that iconic. And I
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: know so many people that started exercising. I mean when
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: I started exercising again recently, I listened to my Eye
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: of the Tiger, and if I'm on my stationary biker
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: lifting my weights, I'll listen. Oh, I'll rather watch on
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: YouTube montages of training.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: You're not punching slabs of meat in the freezer.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: That's for after I'm beating my meat. Let's move on
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: to our number three movie that we want to see
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: in theaters for the first time. And this is a sequel,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: so you mentioned the sequel actually quickly before we get
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: One.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: One movie that was awesome and it's recent. The latest
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Evenge movie was such a fun thing to see in theaters.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Whichever was The last one was that game. It was
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: Abnity Warrior. Then Endgame that I did see in the
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: movie that was freaking awesome. Man, crowd going nuts, sold
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: out show. You couldn't get tickets for days for that show.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: I luckily got like a back row seat on a
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: random day and luckily it wasn't spoiled and audience was
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: going nuts. And it's it was. There really hasn't been
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: an experience in the movies for me, at least since then.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: My Number one is a sequel, and I was debating
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: which one to go with.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: I think I know you're gonna say.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: And it has arguably the greatest twist in any movie.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: It is the Empire Strikes Back.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: I did not know you were going to say that
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: one Terminator.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: Which would have been awesome as well, which I did
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: get to see in theaters a few years ago they
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: re released it. I've never seen an Empire. I've saw
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: a New Hope. I saw Jedi. I didn't get to
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: see Empire during its special edition in ninety nine, nor
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: would I want to. I want to see the original
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: cut from nineteen eighty Empire Strikes Back, which is by
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: far my favorite Star Wars movie. In fact, I think
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: Star Wars is the most overrated franchise of all time.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: It's two and a half good movies and the rest
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: are pretty much shit. But I love Empire Strikes Back.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Han Solo is perfect in that movie. He's just a
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: badass womanizer who is just smooth as silk when he's
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: about to be frozen in carbonite, Princess Lea says, I
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: love you, and he just looks up and says, I know.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Oh that's just the g right there, So so so great.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: You have the introduction of Bubba Fett, you have the
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: introduction of Lando Calrisian, and you have the introduction of
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: my personal favorite Star Wars character, Yoda. And seeing that
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: character must have been so jarring for audiences because you're
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: hearing about this Jedi he has to be trained by
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: this Master Yoda, and you're expecting this, you know, badass character.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: You just saw Darth Vader. So this guy's gonna train
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Luke and he's got to be the twice the size
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: of Vader. And then he's this Kermit the Frog guy
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: and you don't even know who he is. You just
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: think he's this, you know, obnoxious asshole. He's like messing
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: around with Luke's stuff, he's gone through his flashlight and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: then you find out, no, this is Master Yoda right here.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: And it's such a good message. It's like, don't judge
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: a book by its cover. Just because he's goofy and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: small and green at eight hundred years old, he's more
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: powerful than any of these Jedis ever, so it's got
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: that lesson, but the main thing that Darth Vader reveal
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: of him saying, no, I am your father. If I
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: was in the audience for that. Wow.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I can't. I can't add anything to this conversation.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: You Star Wars.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen a Star Wars whoa No, never whoa
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: just not my uh, not my cup of tea. And
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: I just never watched them.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming Jackie is Jackie has never seen any of that.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with no, you don't like sci fi?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Not my favorite genre, but I mean I will watch
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: you know sci fi movies.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Empire. It is beautiful, beautifully shot. John Williams is the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: greatest film composer of all time. He got the great
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: film score. Carrie Fisher fantastic to look at all, coked
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: out of her mind. It is its perfection visually, storytelling wise,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's everything together. And Star Wars was the biggest
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: film series of all time. In that original movie which
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: made more money, but it was such a juggernaut and
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: just the build up, like, okay, Star Wars comes out
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy seven, and then you have to wait
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: three years, and I couldn't imagine that whole build up, like, oh,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: they're making another one, what is this gonna be, what's
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: gonna happen? How are they going to continue this series?
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: And then it lived up to the hype. How many
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: times have we seen movies we have one good movie
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: and you're waiting for the sequel, and it's just, oh,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: never is good. No, we shouldn't have made a sequel. Yeah,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have Aliens, you have Terminator two, But
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: for every one of those, you have, you know, a
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: die Hard too instead of a die Hard. And I
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: don't mind die Hard too, but it's not die Hard.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: You have Leath the Weapon too, which isn't as good
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: as Leath the Weapon. And those are good movies. There
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: are terrible sequels that are just god awful. Why would
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: you make this? But Empire Strikes Back? Would love to
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: Travel nineteen eighty Watch that with a sold out crowd
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: opening day.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: Actually, one of my favorite movies is a sequel. I've
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: definitely told you this before. But Bad Boys too.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: I remember you saying that, Yeah, is that going to
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: be your number one must see?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: No, I did see that in movie theaters. I remember
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: you remember that that one. I remember I remember I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: was with my cousin and his friend and I want
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: to say we were in I want to say we
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: were in like Maryland. I think my buddy went to
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: college down there. Yeah, and we were like, we gotta
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: go see it. Actually, I've seen every Bad Boys in
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: the movies. The third one was the worst, and the
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: last one was. Yeah, not as good as the first two,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: but not as bad as the third one. No, So
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: I head down, which you mentioned as an honorable mention
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: was Jurassic Park. But I think my third one is
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: going to be which it just happened to be on
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: TV the other day and I saw it, and I go,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: this movie would be badass to see in the movies.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: And that is Saving Private Ryan. Just all the action
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: and the gunshots and the you know, people getting shot
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: and body parts blown up, and just on the big
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: screen with that sound. Sound, the sound. Yeah, so I
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: would go with Saving Private Ryan.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Another Spielberg movie. You know, we mentioned Jurassic Park, and
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Saving Private Ryan is one of those movies that didn't
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: win Best Picture. It lost to Shakespeare in Love, which
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: nobody talks about that shitty movie. And it's just why
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: a war shows really don't mean anything. To me, in
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: the long run of things, Saving Private Ryan is a
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: movie that gets played every single year. Anytime there's you know,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: the fallen Soldier, you always think about, at least I do.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: I think about that movie and just the hardships that
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: these guys had to go through. You know, even today,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: you know, modern military, although drastically different than what they
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: were doing back in nineteen forty four. Uh, these guys
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: have so much courage and bravery and the sacrifice that
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: they put out there is in something that I know
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: I definitely could not do. And that movie is brilliant.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: And it's not just the action, it's the whole ensemble.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Cash You have such a great cast. I mean Vin
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: Diesel's in it, believe it or not, very young Vin Diesel,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: but I mean Matt Damon's great. Tom Hanks is one
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: of my favorite. Tom Sizemore was out of his mind.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I think he passed away a few years. He's struggling
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: with a lot of addiction issues. But that is such
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: a guttural type of movie and I think it yes, yes,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: And I've heard people that were actually storming the beach
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: of Normandy talk about that experience while watching the movie.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: After watching the movie and they say, this is it.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: This is very realistic what it was, how it happened.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Yep. And the crazy thing is, and this is something
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: that got brought up a few years ago when Alec
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Baldwin accidentally killed that person. They talked about how Saving
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Private Ryne there was actually no gunfire being done. It
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: was all computer generated.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: All the guns were rubber, if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: So I mean that was a movie that came out
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: almost thirty years ago at this point, nineteen ninety eight. Yeah,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: so I think we could get away from from actually
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: using real, real gun.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, like you said, the CGI and everything nowadays
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: you got you know, fake animals, and you know you
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: can't you can't fake a gun.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's apps that you could do on on your
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: phone that where you can make like rockets, shootout and
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: you could have guns. Spend a little money, get it
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: to you know, be safe, because you know, it's just
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: a shame when accidents like that happened. But I love
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Saving Private Ryan And it's definitely one of those movies
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: that I can't watch often because it's it's just that
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: in Schindler's List, there are two of those movies that
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: are Spielberg masterpieces, and they're not the glitz and glamour
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: of a summer block bluster type of movie. It's not
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: Jurassic Park, it's not Raiders of the Lost Arkids, more
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: of like, damn, I'm so glad I didn't have to
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: go through that type of life.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't imagine.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: But Jurassic Park is definitely. Uh, it's another one I'd
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: want to see for sure. Anything else that jumps to
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: mind that we missed out on the Rocky one is
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: one that I'm looking at it. I probably want to
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: see Rocky over exor System more I think about it.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love Rocky.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: I do you not love Rocky?
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You wanted to see everybody passing out
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: and throwing up, and.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: I've never seen any of the Rocky movies besides Balboa
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: in the theaters. They re released Rocky four in theaters
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: because they had a director's cut and I had fucking
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: bowling that night, so I couldn't do it.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: You could have did it, and you could have told
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: me what the experience was.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Know. Oh, I know, I missed out and it was
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: like a sold out crazy showing apparently my buddy Ray
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: who works at the radio stations, Tommy, he went to.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: People probably walking in with American flag draped over their
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: backs exactly.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: We missed out. So we'll see if there's any movies
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: in the last you know, ten years that you know,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: twenty years from now, thirty years from now, people will
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: be talking about. I wish I saw that. I think
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: the big one that comes to mind is that Avengers movie. Yeah,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's one that people will be saying. I
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: really also think Wicked. I think I think Wicked's gonna
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: have a staying power, don't. I don't know if Barbie,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: as popular as it was, is going to be talked
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: about ten fifteen years from now, But I could see
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Wicked because theater kids are crazy, man.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Wicked's been on Broadway for what twenty
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: five years now, so it's not like it's going anywhere. Yeah,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I don't think the Barbie movie is going
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: to be talked about.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: But it made a ton of money.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, all you have to do is
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: put something out, I mean for kids, even though it
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't really a kid movie.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: No, my niece hated it.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: I wanna say. It wasn't a kid movie, but it's
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: it's named Barbie, so you know, every girl between five
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: and fifteen is gonna be like, could we go see this?
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah? You know then even parents who grew up with
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: Barbie to My mom's a big Barbie fan. So we'll see.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: We'll see. If you know, maybe thirty years from now
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: we'll do a part two of this thing. I think
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: he did fantastic on this.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I have one question for you because I
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: gave you. I gave you a couple of movies to watch. Yeah,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: and I watched A Time to Kill Time to Saw.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: I want to know what you thought.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, this was a film starring Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Jackson where Samuel Jackson's character's daughter is brutally raped and
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: she was going to get killed. I guess they were
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: going to lynch her. And this takes place in the South.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: I want to say Alabama. It could be mistaken. It's
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: a modern day, so the movie took out place in
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: the nineties, in the nineties when those filmed, so it's
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: not like a fifties or forty seven. And we're gonna
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: get into spoilers real quick.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: If they haven't seen it by now, well, I never
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: sew well even though you haven't seen it. But ninety seven,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what it was. It was Mississippi, by
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: the way, it was.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Mississippi, sipp So the daughter gets away, she doesn't get killed.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: But Samuel Jackson is informed about this happening, and basically,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: these two rednecks who were the ones that did it,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: get arrested, and he realizes these people might get out
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: because they're white men in Mississippi, and even if they
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: get convicted, they might get out in ten years, or
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: they might get away with it. So he goes into
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: the business for himself and kills them. He gets a
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: machine gun, which I thought that scene was a dream
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: or an imagination.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: I hadn't no idea it happens. I didn't know walk
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: right into the court house.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: I've seen scenes of this movie, and I thought it
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: was about the court case involving her rape, and I
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: thought it was going to be about them not being convicted.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: I had no idea it was a murder trial that
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: was to be happening. So he brings a machine gun
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: into the court before I guess they're going into the courtroom,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: kills them too, and then blows off one of the
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: cops legs and white cop who ends up being a
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: hero of sorts and saying like I would have done
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: the same thing he was.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: Also, the Ku Klux Klan is part of it.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: What about it?
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, that's a big part of the movie. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: yeah're in the cross In McConaughey's long.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, So the brother of one of the rapists contacts
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: the Ku Klux Klan and sort of raises hell for McConaughey,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: who's the lawyer who's taking up for Samuel Jackson, and
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: he's you know, the clan is sort of running wild
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: and attacking Sandra Bullock, who's a young wanna be lawyer
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: who's helping McConaughey, and you know, it's it's obviously a
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: far fetched story in the sense that if a guy
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: goes into a courtroom with a machine gun and kills
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: two people, they're not gonna have him get away with it.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think it matters if he's black or white.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: It's just it's a little far fetched. For me. I
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: personally would have felt maybe the story would have First
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: of all, I really liked the movie, I want to
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: say that. And the acting was fantastic. What a cast, Yeah,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: cast is insane. This is like every single scene is like,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: oh my god, there's that guy. There's that guy. Oh
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: he was in that. Yeah. One big story after another
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: and a lot of stars that are getting started like
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: that was definitely Sandra Bullock one of her first movies
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: for sure. Maybe she was in Judge Dread the Year
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: or not Judge Dread Demolition Man, which is a great
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: McConaughey was just getting started as well. I wish there
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: was more Samuel L. Jackson. That was an issue I had.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we needed this fake love sort
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: of thing with Sandra Bullock really didn't lead to anything.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Wasn't necessary in my opinion. I think it could have
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: maybe worked a little bit more. And obviously they're going
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: for this as part of the plot and part of
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: the trial. If Samuel L. Jackson caught these two guys
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: raping the daughter and then he killed them and then
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: that became the trial, because it would have been not
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: that I felt sympathy for these guys, but it's like
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: he just murdered two people. It's so over the top, like.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's no way you could be on their side.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: You gotta be on Samuel Jackson's side, even though he just.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: Gone on my Yes, I'm on Samuel Jackson's side because
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: if that happened to my daughter, I'd want to do
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: the same thing. But also it's like, this is kind
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: of stupid, Like he just murdered two people and shot
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: off a CoP's leg in broad daylight without them even
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: you know, going to trial. So I think it would
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: have been a little more realistic or just believable, and
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: more rooting for Samuel Jackson, not that I wasn't rooting
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: for him, but it was good and it had a
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: satisfying ending, and it was a good recommendation for sure.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: That and I think when you watch some of these
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: movies that were made in the mid to late nineties
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: even early two thousands, and you see some of these
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: casts and you're like, because again they're just starting off,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: But then when you actually watch it now, you're like,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: how did they get all these people? Yeah, it's like, Wow,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: it's crazy, Like Kevin Spacey, Oliver Platt, Charles S. Dutton,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: who is he? The Rock? Dead Dad from something? The Rock?
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: Who was it?
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but then I mentioned.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: Pigeon Lady from Lady, that piece of trash. Keifer and
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: Donald Sutherland love he plays a good bad guy.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: He's great. You want to always he's always a great
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: bad guy from Lost Boys and stand By Me. He's
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: very unlikable. I wonder at Ashley Judd, who I feel
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: bad for her because it's like she did nothing wrong
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: really and McConaughey is pretty much going to cheat on her.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: Uh what what? What's the budget for this movie? I
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: want to look that up a time.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: It was based on a John Grisham novel.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I was reading up about it and
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: it did make a lot of money. One hundred and
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars on a forty million dollar budget. Yeah,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: So I wish they made more movies like this, you know,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: smaller type of films that were story driven and you
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: don't need crazy special effects. It's just great actors all together.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just great. And that's just a movie that, like,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: to me, when you watch it, like puts a pit
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: in your stomach. Yeah, because you're just like, oh my god,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: like how could they do that? And then, like I said,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: you're rooting for a guy who just murdered two people,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: and then all the stuff that happens with the Ku
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: Klux Klan and everything with McConaughey and that it's just
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: like you want to punch somebody. Yeah, like that's what Like,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: that's the feeling I get watching that movie. But I
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: thought it was such a good movie.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: And justice is served for people that are wondering. It's
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: it's not like, uh, Samuel Jackson gets put in jail,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: he gets a quick of the murder was again, would
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: never happen. I would assume I would like to hear
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: from like an actual lawyer. They do a lot of
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: those things on YouTube where real lawyers go over law
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: scenes or okay, and I find stuff like that fascinating.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: They'll have real doctors go over doctor scenes and movies,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: or palaeontologists go over dinosaur movie scenes. I wonder what
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: a real lawyer would say, like what actually would go down?
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: Like I haven't seen the movie in a long time,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: but I think they use insanity.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that was the thing that he.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: Was so out of it because of what happened to
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: his daughter. Yeah, I mean, obviously you think it's premeditated.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: When the guy walks into the courtroom with the gun.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: How could you be insane? But I guess on the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: letter of the law, he could have been temporarily insane
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: when he did the act. So I would like to
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: hear I'm a fake lawyer, so I can't I can't
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: help you on that.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: And this is where because I watched Chappelle Show and
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: they had the Samuel Adams and then Samuel L. Jackson
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: beer and then he says the line, yes, they deserve
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: to die and I hope they burn in hell. And
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't know where that was from until this movie.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: So for that reason alone, I'm glad I watched the movie. Jonathan,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining me on this filmer.
