1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.160
We have been discussing the twentieth and twenty fifth anniversaries

2
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:13.400
of some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters this season, and I

3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:19.879
am very excited about today's episode because it's probably one

4
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.559
of the biggest films of two thousand and one, absolutely

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.079
one of the most popular, and one of my all

6
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:27.879
time favorites.

7
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.640
I need a reason, don't see money? Why do this?

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.079
Why not do it? Because yesterday I walked out of

9
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.520
the joint after losing four years of my life, and

10
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.600
you're cold decking teen beat cover boys because the house

11
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.439
always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes

12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.079
the house takes you, unless when that perfect hand comes along,

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:58.840
you bet big and then you take the house. Been

14
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.079
practicing this speech little bit did? I rushed it felt

15
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.520
like I was good. I liked TV things much.

16
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.799
So let's talk about a film by Steven Soderbergh, his

17
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.640
two thousand and one heist comedy, which is celebrating its

18
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:44.680
twenty fifth anniversary this year, Ocean's Eleven. Hello everybody, I'm

19
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.599
Jeff Johnson, I'm Amber Lewis, and this is a film

20
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.120
by podcast. I would have loved to have had ten

21
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:59.120
people talking with me today, just for the gimmick, you know,

22
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.799
but that word. You know, the team's not that big,

23
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.439
and I'm not about to do that. Well it's yeah,

24
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.280
we've we've we've expanded quite a bit lately. But uh,

25
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.080
at the end, I just thought that that's chaos. I'm

26
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:13.599
not doing that.

27
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.840
Yeah, that's a lot of people in the city.

28
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.080
Yeah. So when you when you when you when you think, Okay,

29
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.360
I got to talk about Ocean's eleven with just one person, Uh, Amber,

30
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.800
It's got to be you. This is one of your

31
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.639
all time favorites.

32
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.439
Oh my gosh, this Vivie so much.

33
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.039
It is so good. I'm not even gonna pretend to

34
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.159
try and knock it. You know. I know last week

35
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.599
Wayne and I we weren't overly kind to X Men

36
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.719
the Last Stand, but for for good reason. Uh, and

37
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.840
we do we we did recommend it, and we do

38
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.479
we do like it. But I I just I'm gonna

39
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.080
just gush over this movie for like the next forty

40
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.000
five to fifty minutes. I'm sure and I and I

41
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.479
know you will too. So it's okay, Yes, I got

42
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.759
I got some fun stuff, some some points to discuss

43
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.159
with you. I didn't tell you about taking taking a

44
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.360
gamble here because this is Listen. It's a new month

45
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.319
for us, and the theme this month is gambling, good

46
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:19.240
guys and Blockbuster part threes. So you and I are

47
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.520
going to start things off with Ocean's eleven because it's

48
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.639
full of some good guys that are They're in the casino.

49
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.759
They're gambling, they're gambling on this this plan, this heist,

50
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:35.000
as it were. Before we get started, let's talk about

51
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.240
Steven Soderberg for for just a minute. I got I

52
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.800
got three things you may not know and a quote

53
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.719
from this guy. And his quote, Amber, is just one

54
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.240
more reason why you're gonna love this guy. Not that

55
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.800
you needed another reason, but I mean, right, yeah, all right,

56
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.680
let me start off with this one. He often works

57
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.919
with his favorite director of photography, guy named Peter Andrews. Amber.

58
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.599
Are you familiar with the work of Peter Andrews. Do

59
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:04.479
you know what all he's done?

60
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.039
I'm not great with the crew, unfortunately.

61
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.680
Well I'm sure.

62
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.840
That I am familiar, and I just don't know that

63
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:13.199
it's it.

64
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.800
Well, that's that's it right there. The fact is Peter

65
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:25.560
Andrews is a pseudonym for one Steven Soderberg. He shoots

66
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.439
his own stuff and he just goes under under an

67
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.759
assumed name. I thought that was kind of fun because

68
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.759
I was like, I don't know Peter Andrews, Like, wow,

69
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.160
he's he only works with Soderberg, Like what's that about?

70
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.519
And then you find out why.

71
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.600
Yeah, it could only be better if it was an anagram.

72
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.480
Yeah, talk about the uh, the talent this guy has.

73
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.279
At twenty six years old, he is the youngest winner

74
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.839
ever of the prestigious Palm Dior.

75
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:54.720
Uh.

76
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.560
When his feature film debut, Sex Lives and Videotape One

77
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.720
at the nineteen eight nine Can Film Festival. Have you

78
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:03.240
ever seen that one?

79
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:03.560
Ammer?

80
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.439
Oh my god, Yes, such a good way. We should

81
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:10.519
cover that one sometime. I'd love to talk about that one, Yeah.

82
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.560
Because I think that's it's to the point where people

83
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.800
have kind of forgotten about it.

84
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.720
Yeah, I agree. I was always looking at I know,

85
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.560
last year Soderbergh was on the schedule for a movie

86
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.519
he did called Logan Lucky, which is just just a

87
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:33.360
fun time. It's a Adam driver and uh, who else Daniel.

88
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.319
Craig stealing cars.

89
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.399
Yeah, it kinda is like a comedic heist cars stealing. Yeah,

90
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.959
there's some stuff going on. We might we might. I

91
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.560
don't know. We might have to do a couple of

92
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.759
Soderberg movies. We'll see another thing. Now, he claims this.

93
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.319
I kind of want to call bullshit when people say

94
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.920
this kind of stuff. But according to him, he has

95
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.879
never read a single review of any of his films.

96
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:00.839
Oh, I don't think that's true.

97
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.240
I don't think that's I don't think that you see

98
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.959
these interviews when when actors will say, oh, I don't

99
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.079
watch any of my movies, or I don't I don't

100
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.680
read my reviews. I think they're full of shit. Like

101
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.519
you tell me, you don't want to find out exactly

102
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.639
like this minute it hits variety or you know, the

103
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.800
minute it hits the trades, you're not you're not rushing

104
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.079
out to find out.

105
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.720
Well, I know he he reads commentary online, at least

106
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.199
because he mentioned it in the director's commentary for this movie.

107
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.360
Okay, Well, he was.

108
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.360
Comparing like positive things people have said and then you know,

109
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.319
criticisms that they've made online.

110
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.800
I like, I like that you mentioned that he did

111
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:46.240
an audio commentary for Ocean's eleven Because when discussing the

112
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.680
importance of DVD extras, Soderbergh had this to say, quote,

113
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.920
would I growing up like to have had access to

114
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.240
stuff on DVDs like this? Oh? God, yeah, it's better

115
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.120
than any film school.

116
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.560
I think that's funny because I was thinking that when

117
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.079
I was listening to him earlier.

118
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:06.480
Today.

119
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.079
He gives you a lot of this is why I

120
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.360
chose this lens, and this is why I'm pulling in

121
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.560
and pulling out, and this is why I set this

122
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.199
shot up this way. And if you want to be

123
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.079
a filmmaker, it's absolutely gold.

124
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:26.800
He does great audio commentaries. Uh, Ocean's eleven. It's funny

125
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.839
you're you're watching Oceans eleven with the Sodaberg commentary and

126
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.399
that's also got a Ted Griffith, Yeah, the screenwriter. Yeah,

127
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.720
this is one of the best scripts ever. It's gotta

128
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.279
be yea because.

129
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.439
It also left a little flexibility for a little improv too,

130
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.560
but not a lot, like, not a lot of it

131
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:45.600
is on the page.

132
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.040
Well, And it's funny because that's brought up in the

133
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:55.720
other audio commentary for this this Blu ray. I was

134
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.240
I was watching this with the other audio commentary Amber,

135
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.759
Oh god, what was that? There is a hilarious one.

136
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.279
It's packed with really fun anecdotes, it's got some good information,

137
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.759
but it's Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Andy Garcia.

138
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.480
Oh my gosh.

139
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.480
And I'm telling you, when you watch it, it's if

140
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.120
you watch it with this commentary track, it's like they're

141
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.639
sitting on the couch with you, because there'll be moments

142
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.279
when they're talking or like the movie's playing and no

143
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.399
one's say anything. And like at one point, Matt Damon

144
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.439
comments on that he goes, this is gonna be one

145
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.200
of the worst commentary tracks ever because I keep forgetting

146
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.759
we're here to talk about the movie. But I'm I

147
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.200
just love this movie and I'm watching it. I can't

148
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.879
help it. And meanwhile, Brad Pitt is like he's taking

149
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.799
jabs at Clooney like they all are, but he's he's like, yeah,

150
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.759
he goes, let's do this like a mystery science theater

151
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.879
type of thing. That's what I want to do. And

152
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.120
so it's it's just hilarious, and.

153
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.679
Now I have to watch it for the fifth time.

154
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.360
This yeah, and Andy Garcia is right at home with them.

155
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.519
It's it's a good time. I strongly recommend the commentary

156
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:04.279
track with those three fantastic stuff. All right, Amber, let's

157
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.039
let's let's get this out of the way. Well, I

158
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.120
should say let's for you, let's get this out of

159
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.279
the way. Probably your least favorite moment every episode, but hey,

160
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.600
a lot of people love this, Amber, So I don't

161
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:19.039
know what to tell you.

162
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.320
I don't know some documentation on that.

163
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.519
I'm talking, of course, about the five words synopsis, so

164
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.919
real quick. Last week, we always ask our listeners to

165
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.919
share their five words synopsis at the end of the episodes. Yes,

166
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.360
for films that we've covered. Last week I shouted out

167
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.840
several of them on the on the X Men episode,

168
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.320
they got some fun stuff coming their way, and then

169
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.039
I challenged everybody, Hey, if you want to try Oceans

170
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.840
eleven is next. If you want to try doing an

171
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:58.080
eleven word synopsis because it's Ocean's eleven, hey send it

172
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.200
in and if we like it, I'll give you a

173
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.840
free month of access to our Patreon. So I'm kind

174
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.080
of curious to see if anyone's going to be rising

175
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.919
to the challenge here.

176
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.279
That's a pretty good deal. But it's hard, Like I

177
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.960
thought it would be easier, but it's not.

178
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.440
Well, Amber, do you want to give us a five

179
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.919
words synopsis for Oceans eleven? Or do you want to

180
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.480
go for the big money and offer up one with

181
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.080
exactly eleven words?

182
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.720
Yes, No, I could not. I tried. I do not

183
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.159
do eleven words. I've got a five word though.

184
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.879
All right, hey, listen, we've had now, we've had some

185
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:33.240
other listeners chiming in saying they've they've been busting people

186
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.639
for not using five words. So I'm gonna tell you

187
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.799
right now, if you don't have five you're you're about

188
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.759
to You're about to go bust in the casino. Yeah,

189
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.240
so what do you got for us?

190
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.240
Boys? Steal all the money?

191
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.639
That works? And you know what? You know why that?

192
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.000
You know why? I like that. You could have said

193
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:57.600
it'd be so many different but I'll tell you why.

194
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.960
I immediately think of Ocean's eleven. You. You could have

195
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.399
said crew. You could have said men. You could have

196
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.320
said thieves. You could have said convicts, you could have

197
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.960
said con artist. You could have said a lot of things.

198
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.799
But you chose the word boys. And the fact is

199
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.399
these guys they're getting together, they're having a great time.

200
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.720
This is like a good hang kind of a movie.

201
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:23.600
So I like that that works.

202
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.360
Yeah, I often refer to all of you gentlemen that

203
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.720
I podcast with as my boys, and that's kind of

204
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.600
the mode that I'm thinking of is though, Okay, it's eleven.

205
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:38.720
It works, Amber, Can I hit you up with and

206
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:39.440
eleven words?

207
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.120
I say you go for eleven.

208
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.399
I went for eleven. I went for eleven because I

209
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.519
was like, I don't know if Amber is going to

210
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.240
go for this, but I'll have one ready. How about

211
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.720
this one? How about this one? Because the house always wins.

212
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:55.080
That's okay, let me let me do it, let me

213
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.039
do it. I tried so hard, let me do it,

214
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:57.559
let me do it.

215
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.840
Okay, Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

216
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.639
Sorry, Because the house always wins. That's why they're hitting

217
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.600
this casino. Yes, exactly eleven words.

218
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.279
I tried so hard to get that quote.

219
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:09.799
I want it.

220
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.399
Yeah, I couldn't.

221
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.919
That's that's That's one of the best moments of dialogue

222
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.120
in this movie, and I wanted to incorporate it without

223
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.759
just lifting it completely. So yes, there you go it

224
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.120
all right, listen, listeners, there are there's definitely gonna be

225
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.000
some better ones that are exactly eleven words, So uh,

226
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.159
take me hit me up on this one. Yeah, send

227
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.679
us a send us your eleven word synopsis because I'll

228
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.679
be happy to give away some well I'm not going

229
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.639
to give away Terry Benedict's money, but I'll give away

230
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.519
a flame off the Patreon that that that I can

231
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:47.240
do for you. So Ember. After producing both Blind Date

232
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.440
and a film adaptation of nineteen fifties TV show Dragnet,

233
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:57.639
both in nineteen eighty seven, producer David Permitt announced that

234
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:02.320
he would next remake the nineteen six rat pack ensemble

235
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.840
Oceans eleven, and after a few false starts, he gets

236
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.120
a little frustrated. He decides to move on, but Warner

237
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.039
Brothers believes the idea has promise provided the right group

238
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.440
of talent can be grouped together, and that wouldn't happen

239
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.440
for another thirteen years when Steven Soderbergh gets to work

240
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:25.039
with his buddy George Clooney, who he had directed and

241
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.919
out of Sight, I want to say, in like nineteen

242
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.480
ninety eight maybe, and these guys start making personal phone

243
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:34.960
calls to everyone they want in the film, And I mean,

244
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.840
this is the ideal time, right because when you've seen

245
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.399
the original, have you seen the original with.

246
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.840
A really long time ago? I don't, okay, really remember it?

247
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.240
Okay, I mean, let's let's call it what it is, though,

248
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:52.159
I mean, for its time, it had it had the guys, right,

249
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.120
it had the group. I mean they were the top

250
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.799
at the movies, they were the top of music, they

251
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.480
were they were everywhere. And I kind of think it's

252
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.279
tough to take a group like that, or find a

253
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.039
group like that, or a symbol a group like that,

254
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:14.000
and and know that, yes, audiences want to see every

255
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.840
one of these people together, and yes they will have

256
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:22.399
amazing chemistry, and yes it will be a smooth, you know, production,

257
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.480
because everyone's just gonna have a good time. So it's

258
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.440
it's a gamble, right, And I love the idea that

259
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:33.600
these guys are just they're just sitting around saying, let's

260
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.639
call let's call it this guy, let's call it this look.

261
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.000
You know, they're just they're just calling their buddies. You know.

262
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.519
It's it's fantastic. I'll tell you what. Let's take a

263
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.879
quick break, and when we get back, I'm gonna throw

264
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.200
you for a loop here because I want to talk

265
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:51.600
about who's not in the movie. Oh okay, all right,

266
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:58.360
we'll be right back. Welcome back. Amber Lewis and I

267
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:04.360
are discussing Steven Soderbergh's Oceans eleven, Amber, there are some

268
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:08.720
people who didn't win big because they chose not to

269
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.240
gamble on Ocean's eleven. Can we talk about some people

270
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.279
from that? I know normally we talk about, you know,

271
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.919
everyone in this This cast is too big, so I'll

272
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.320
encourage you jump in whenever you want to say something

273
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:27.080
about Roberts or Clooney or Damon or Pitt or anybody.

274
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.440
But for right now, I just want to talk about

275
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.919
who's not in the movie, and I want to I

276
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.799
want to hear your thoughts on you know, does it

277
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.679
are we Are we better off? Or is it?

278
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.799
I mean, I definitely have thoughts about one of them.

279
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.759
I know, I don't really get the rest.

280
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.600
Well, let's start off with the first one. So Mark

281
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.039
Wahlberg is wanted. That's the one, you know. Okay, so

282
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.480
he's wanted. They want him for the role of Linus,

283
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.960
you know, Matt Damon's role. He had just worked with

284
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.360
Clooney on The Perfect Storm. Oh, by the way, go

285
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.399
back and check out the episode Amber and I did

286
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.240
for that one. That was a fantastic time talking about

287
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:08.039
the Perfect Storm. But Mark Wahlberg decides to turn this

288
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:12.840
movie down to go over and do another remake that

289
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.320
that's happening at Fox with Tim Burton talking about Planet

290
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:17.279
of the Apes.

291
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.159
And thank god, he would not have been good for Linus.

292
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:23.759
You don't think it would have been good for Is

293
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.759
he too tough for Linus because Walburt he's plays like

294
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:27.360
a tough guy.

295
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.519
Well, the thing about Mount Damon that's so good in

296
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:37.360
this movie is he's got that that kind of inexperienced.

297
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.080
Gullible almost he's naive, right, and him where you know.

298
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.399
They pulled that con on him and he completely falls

299
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:50.360
for it. M And I don't think that you would

300
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.559
have believed that Mark Wahlberg would.

301
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.559
Have I think it well, I don't think Mark Wahlberg

302
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.840
could play like the geeky gaming commission guy that the

303
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.759
con that he does.

304
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.920
He could have been one of the Utah brothers and

305
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:08.960
you know, the Malloy twins.

306
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.799
Yeah, he definitely could have been one of them. Yeah,

307
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.400
I just don't see him like ducking in fear from

308
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:24.680
from Bernie Mack, you know, dropping right. Yeah, It's unfortunate

309
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.680
for Warburg because Planet of the Apes was not the

310
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.359
remake to do it this year. You and I kind

311
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:37.880
of talked about this uh earlier, Luke and Owen Wilson,

312
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.759
they say no to playing the Malloy Twins in favor

313
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.640
of working with Wes Anderson on The Royal. Tenenbaum's Uh

314
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.440
another film that you and I covered. Listeners go back

315
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.400
and check that one out.

316
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.240
And I think that's a win for everybody. I think

317
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:56.799
they would have been funny, but they're so.

318
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.960
Like they're humors, so dry, like Owen Wilson would have

319
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:02.720
been hilarious.

320
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.640
I don't know about Luke.

321
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.240
I'll tell you. I'll tell you with all with all

322
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.200
due respect to I don't know everybody, I'll say this,

323
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.440
they the Wilson brothers would have been really fun in this.

324
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:20.920
But the reason why we're better off is the Malloy

325
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:26.119
Twins need a certain degree of white trash to them.

326
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:26.519
You know.

327
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.359
And and I don't think that the I don't think

328
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.240
Luke and Olan Wilson can play that. I just don't.

329
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.599
Uh.

330
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.359
You know, they're quirky, they're they're the fun dry, like

331
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.240
you said, dry humor. So I think we're better off here.

332
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.039
I know why that way. You know, since we're talking

333
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.160
about the World ten of Bombs, let's not forget Danny

334
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.960
Glover also turned down Oceans eleven. I think he was

335
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.720
up for the Bernie mac roll of Frank, and he

336
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.079
also leaves to go do.

337
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:57.839
Gonna be Uh.

338
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.200
What do you think? Well, I mean he might have

339
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.839
been Rupert. I don't know, because stories he would have

340
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.039
been Rupert. If he's, if he's, it's better. Yeah, I

341
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.240
could see him playing Rupert. That that would have worked

342
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:18.240
to or Yeah, Ruben not no, sorry, Rubin the the

343
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.160
Elliott Gold role.

344
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.680
Yes, yes he could have.

345
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.720
He could have done that. That would have been fun.

346
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.839
But again, I love him in the Royal Ten of Moms,

347
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:28.279
so I'm glad that that's the thing.

348
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.359
Like anybody that was in that movie, I'm not pulling

349
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:32.119
him to do anything.

350
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:37.160
No, No, that's a perfect cast. Hugh McGregor turns down

351
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.640
the role of Basher and no surprise here he goes

352
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:47.839
off to do Mulin Rouge, which is another film. Yeah,

353
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.039
you and I talked about that one earlier this season

354
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:53.960
with uh with our very own Angela Norris. A lot

355
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.599
of a lot of playing the the the greatest hits

356
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.680
here Amber where all these people that said no to

357
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.599
Oce eleven did movies that you and I covered. So

358
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.039
that's kind of that's kind of cool. Yeah. Lastly, after

359
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.920
reading the script and believing the character wasn't quite developed enough,

360
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:19.200
Bruce Willis turned down the role of casino owner Terry Benedict. Now,

361
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.640
that would have been good.

362
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.599
That would have been very interesting.

363
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.680
Yeah, he Now he chose to do Bandits with Billy,

364
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.000
Bob Thornton and Kate Blanchette instead, But according to Andy Garcia,

365
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.079
he uh Willis said, I don't think this character is

366
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.240
quite developed, and he passed on it, which worked out

367
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.160
for him because then, you know, Garcia says, I don't

368
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.160
know if I was the first choice or the last choice,

369
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.640
but I was the choice because I got the phone

370
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.519
call from Stephen and I was happy to take it right. Yeah,

371
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:53.640
and he's he's cool. Like. What I love about Garcia

372
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:57.279
in this is that I know you have to have

373
00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:59.039
you have to have a villain, right, we have to.

374
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.720
You know, if you think about the original Ocean's eleven

375
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.559
from nineteen sixty, the tag I think, if I remember right,

376
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.039
the tagline was if it were any other if it

377
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.960
were any other city, they'd be the bad guys or

378
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:15.440
they'd be the villains or something like that. And it's Vegas,

379
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:19.319
so Vegas. When you go to Vegas, you know the

380
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.039
casino that's you're you're the good guy. You want to

381
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.519
beat the casino. You want to beat the guy. The

382
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:31.160
thing about Garcia is, yeah, he's the he's the bad guy,

383
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:36.799
quote unquote, but he's still very cool, well mannered, well dressed.

384
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:38.400
He says the right things.

385
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.279
As he's said. There's nothing really wrong with him.

386
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.599
No, he's he's intimidating in a in a cool way.

387
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:51.279
You know. You believe that Julia Roberts is with him,

388
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:55.039
you know, and let's let's be honest. Tess is a

389
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.400
very successful, very intelligent woman, you know, doesn't need She's

390
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.759
not like a a typical Vegas It's not like she

391
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.799
was a showgirl that hooked her wagon to a you know,

392
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.759
a sugar daddy. She's she's a she's a successful woman,

393
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:12.680
you know, in the art world, and she doesn't need

394
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.640
to be with Terry. She chooses to be with Terry,

395
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.160
and I believe that he can have her, you know.

396
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.240
Like one of my favorite scenes is the exchange between

397
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.680
him and Danny at the at the table at the

398
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.200
dinner table, when they're they're talking to each other, but

399
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.680
they're not looking at each other. Yes, And as cold

400
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.519
as Garcia is in that one moment, he's very affectionate.

401
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.359
He's holding her hand and he's kissing it, and you

402
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.960
know he's thee Yeah, I guess I put by those tails. No,

403
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.240
you can keep them, you know. I even love like

404
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.839
it's almost like they forget he, they forget George Clooney's there.

405
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.160
George Clooney is the coolest kid in school. He's he

406
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.359
is the sexiest man alive at this time, and he's

407
00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:59.720
an afterthought in that moment.

408
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:00.480
Mm hmm.

409
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:02.559
And I love how he just was like he kind

410
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:07.559
of just like Terry Danny, you know, Like I mean,

411
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:11.440
it's hard not to like Andy Garcia in this movie,

412
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.039
you know, as far as like his his you could

413
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:15.559
you could.

414
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.759
Totally see like Tess has a thing for for bad boys,

415
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:24.799
and you could totally see how she could just say, well,

416
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.960
I don't see that side of him, so it's fine.

417
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.119
Yeah, he's just a businessman.

418
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:34.680
I I would be remiss if I just skipped right

419
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:39.839
past the the actual cast here. So I wanted to

420
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:43.599
give you the opportunity. You know, is there anyone specifically

421
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.440
you want to you want to talk about right now?

422
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:47.799
As far as every.

423
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.839
Time I watch it, I enjoy someone more than I

424
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.319
did the last time. You know, it's like this person

425
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.559
is is the standout, and this time around it was

426
00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:59.400
Bernie Mack.

427
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:04.039
So hard at him.

428
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.079
Watching this and I've seen this movie like fifty times,

429
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:12.000
but his delivery and his facial expressions.

430
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.559
Oh god, the facial the one that I keyed in

431
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.400
on this this recent rewatch when he's when he's buying

432
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.559
the vans and he's holding onto that the cart, the

433
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.839
salesman's hand. Yes, you know, he's talking about the whole

434
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:30.559
moisturizing moisturizer conversation. When he does that weird like he

435
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:32.559
like kind of tilts his head like looks in at him,

436
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:36.119
his eyes geting a little bit wider, waiting like it.

437
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:39.440
It's it's so uncomfortable and it's hilarious in that moment.

438
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:42.960
I don't know the guy's name, but did you recognize

439
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:46.480
that that salesman By the way, I'll give you a hint.

440
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.400
I'll give you a hint. He is in another very

441
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:54.519
famous Las Vegas movie in a very memorable scene.

442
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:58.279
Oh gosh, no, I got nothing have.

443
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.759
Well, I'll be fair because it not be It's not

444
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:06.200
exactly an Amber Lewis movie. But have you seen Scorsese's Casino?

445
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.119
Oh my god?

446
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.880
Yeah, okay, okay, so remember remember when de Niro they

447
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:16.440
catch the guy cheating at cards and and he asked

448
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.279
me like, hey, I saw you shuffling chips with with

449
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:20.920
both Can you do that with your your left hand?

450
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.519
He's like, oh no, just my right And then they

451
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.359
take the hammer and then what they did with my hand? Man,

452
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:34.119
that guy is the car salesman. Yeah, that's him. That's him.

453
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:36.240
He I guess, I guess you had to quit quit

454
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:37.519
cheating at cards. You had to get it rid of

455
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.039
the job. He never left Vegas, he just went cars. Yeah,

456
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:48.640
Bernie Mac, that's why I think we just found a connection.

457
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.400
You know, we don't get that guy's then it's in

458
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.279
the same universe. Ocean's eleven and Casino are happening in

459
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:58.400
the amber. You just you just dropped the bomb there

460
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:02.720
there it is, Yeah, because it's he pulls his hand

461
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.519
back like it's I mean, I don't think Bernie Mac

462
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.960
is like crushing his hand. He's not like, no, man,

463
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.920
he's gripping it. But yeah, I think that guy's still

464
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:19.160
he's got trauma from the hammer. Yeah, I think so.

465
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.880
I think it's so funny that you think Casino is

466
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.319
not an Amber Lewis movie, because that has one of

467
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:29.759
my favorite Joe pess like ever when.

468
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.160
He squeezes that guy's head in the vice and he's like,

469
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.279
you don't hop your eye out for that.

470
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:46.640
Charlie for Charlie buckingem you. Joe Pesci is my favorite

471
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:51.039
scary tough guy of all time because of whether it's

472
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.720
because he is he's scary and Casino like, I'm afraid

473
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:56.920
of Joe Phi and Casino, but then I'm also I

474
00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.960
love that he's the same guy basically. And my cousin Vinny,

475
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.039
you're laughing and you're having fun with him. You know,

476
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:05.160
I got a guy who wouldn't to fight me for

477
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:11.839
two hundred dollars. An identity problem, a dress problem. Oh man, Okay, okay.

478
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.119
Let's okay, pull.

479
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.160
It back together here. Brad Pitt, he had he had

480
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.680
an interesting answer to why Rusty is always eating.

481
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.319
So the first show I heard a couple different.

482
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:26.920
Well, this comes from bread. Yeah, this this comes straight

483
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.359
from Brad Pitt. Not that not that I had lunch

484
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.400
with him earlier, but he's he's on the DVD commentary,

485
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:35.480
as I said, he's because they they kind of were

486
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:37.799
making jokes about it. And he's like, well, so the

487
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.640
first scene that he does, he just happened to be eating.

488
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:47.039
And on day one, Soderbug's like, you know what, that's funny,

489
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.880
Let's keep doing that. And the fact is, if you

490
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.160
look in every scene, it's not exactly like he's meal

491
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.920
prepp and it's not like he's having a healthy meal.

492
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.759
It's always like like gas station food, like he's pulling

493
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:05.680
it off of the roller thing, you know. Yes, and

494
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:07.720
and Pitt had this to say about that. He said,

495
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.440
you know, the thing is a guy like Rusty is

496
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.039
always on the move. He's always on the go, and

497
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.960
he's basically going to eat whenever there's an opportunity to

498
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.160
eat because he never knows where his next meal is

499
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.799
coming from. And it's typically, you know, where he's passing

500
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:25.880
by a you know all you can eat a fet

501
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.799
he's passing by the gas dat or wherever he's at.

502
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:31.039
And that's why he's always got this trashy food. And

503
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:33.119
you know, and if he doesn't need to, if he

504
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.200
doesn't finish it, and fine, he can he can one

505
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:36.720
more bite and then he throws it away or whatever.

506
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:41.440
He's always doing that. He ate the famous scene where

507
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.000
he finds out he's with Matt Damon, he finds out

508
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:49.279
that Tess is in play, so to speak. Yes, he's

509
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:53.960
eating shrimp cocktail. He's not a fan anymore. He ate

510
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:55.759
over forty shrimp cocktail.

511
00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:58.000
That's so bad.

512
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.680
I just I don't like shrimp. I don't. I wouldn't

513
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:00.880
need it.

514
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.160
But well, usually actors like they just put it in

515
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:06.440
their mouth and then they helped yell and there's a

516
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:07.880
bucket there and they spin it out.

517
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:09.480
But Brad commits to the bit.

518
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:14.279
Uh, he does, and somehow he remains chiseled. So maybe

519
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.559
he's onto something. I don't. I don't know. I do

520
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:23.759
not know. I will say this if you had to guess.

521
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.880
And again this is coming from coming from the guys,

522
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.839
from the boys as as as you as you call him,

523
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:31.400
who do you think the who do you think the

524
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:33.519
guy was on set that everyone wanted to be around,

525
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:35.160
who had the best.

526
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:39.440
It's got to be Carl Reiner or Elliott, Yes, one.

527
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:43.440
Of the it's Carl Reiner. You're absolutely right. They said

528
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:47.039
if you weren't, if you weren't on in a scene

529
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.000
and Reiner wasn't in a scene. You were sitting with Reiner,

530
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.680
everyone like he held he was basically holding court off

531
00:29:55.720 --> 00:30:00.000
set so much because he's and it's like he's everyone

532
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.680
telling jokes. Everyone's like they they kind of talk about

533
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.200
like when they first show up and Damon and Peter like,

534
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.000
oh yeah, we all we all got in the room

535
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:10.279
and we're all telling jokes and then we all start

536
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.920
talking about sports, and then we all just we're all

537
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:14.359
best friends and we all just want to hang out.

538
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:19.400
And basically trailers were just empty at all times because

539
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:21.240
it didn't matter if you were in the scene or not.

540
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:23.880
You were on set. You wanted to be there. You

541
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:26.039
wanted to hang out, and it was that's the vibe.

542
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:28.759
And you know, Wes Anderson, we talked about that on

543
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:33.119
the on the Royal Tenebaum's episode. Wes Anderson wants that

544
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:35.519
that vibe on his set where everyone's just it's a

545
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:38.359
it's a community and these guys are doing it just

546
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.400
because everyone's here. Like, when am I going to get

547
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.920
a chance to hang out with, you know, with Don

548
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:46.440
Cheatle again, When am I going to get a chance

549
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:49.519
to hang out with Elliott Gould and Carl Reiner on

550
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:51.720
the same day at the same time. So they're just

551
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:54.920
having a blast. And I absolutely love that about this this.

552
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:56.960
Group, Yes for sure.

553
00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.880
And but let's take a let's take another break, and

554
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.359
then I'm gonna I'm gonna pitch you a cast. Since

555
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:05.880
we're talking about the cast, I'm gonna I'm gonna give

556
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:08.519
you a different cast. Oh boy, for a different for

557
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:14.960
a different time. We'll be right back, and we are back.

558
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:21.079
We're talking about Steven Soderbergh's Oceans eleven celebrating its twenty

559
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:24.519
fifth anniversary. So earlier, you know, when we were talking

560
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:28.119
about David Permitt, the producer nineteen eighty seven. You know,

561
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.039
by the way, have you ever seen Blind Date with

562
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:32.039
Bruce Willis?

563
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.480
Like when it came out, I watched Dragnet like a

564
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.200
million times.

565
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:43.960
How do you not eight eighties Tom Hanks comedy Dan Aykroyd,

566
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:46.680
Like you have to, you have to love that. But

567
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:51.079
this guy, it's nineteen eighty seven and he announces that

568
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:54.519
he's going after Ocean's eleven and they just couldn't figure

569
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:56.799
it out. Can I give you my cast?

570
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:01.119
Oh? This is you're like dream eighties?

571
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:04.720
Can we do? Can we do? I'm gonna give you

572
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:10.240
Oceans eleven nineteen eighty seven. Oh, I got it, Okay, okay, Yeah,

573
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:13.880
Because in nineteen sixty it's an all star cast. They

574
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.160
got whoever they wanted because the rat pack was in demand, right, Yes,

575
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:18.559
And I think it's fair to say that in two

576
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:22.599
thousand and one, all the big stars are in this movie, right, Yes,

577
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.400
Clooney and Pitt and Julia Roberts. Let's not forget Julia

578
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:31.759
Roberts is commanding twenty million dollars a picture at this point. Yes, right,

579
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:35.400
So they got everyone they wanted. So I'm going to

580
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.400
take you back to nineteen eighty seven, and I'm going

581
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:40.240
to give you the cast that we could have had

582
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:43.279
if if I would have been around. I was around,

583
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:47.559
but the problem was I was eleven, and I probably

584
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:49.440
didn't have the poll in Hollywood that I that I

585
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:51.599
should have had. But here's what I'm going to give you,

586
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.279
and you just give me a yay or nay if

587
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:58.400
you will. I got Danny Ocean being played by Harrison

588
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:05.400
Ford nineteen eighty seven. Harrison Ford, Yeah, yeah, Can I

589
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.920
interest you? I know I'm gonna interest you in this one.

590
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.759
This is your girl. Can I give you Michelle Feifirst.

591
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.960
Tests, oh heck, yeah.

592
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:19.079
Okay again it's nineteen eighty seven, Rusty being played by

593
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:22.200
Tom Cruise. I mean, yeah, you're I see I see

594
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.720
the I see the wheels turning. You're like, yep, I

595
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:27.880
think I think this is a slam dunk. Eddie Murphy

596
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.680
has got to play Frank.

597
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.240
Yeah.

598
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.400
The moist Drizer conversation alone is worth it right there.

599
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:41.319
How about how about Burgess Meredith as Saul doing the whole.

600
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.640
The one last yeah.

601
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.920
One last heist. Can you see the end when they're

602
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.799
they're at the fountain and Burgess is the last one

603
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.759
to walk away with a smile on his face. Burgess

604
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:56.799
Meredith as Saul Bloom, I'm gonna give you Gene Hackman

605
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:57.720
as Ruben.

606
00:33:58.640 --> 00:33:59.480
Oh I like that?

607
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:03.920
Yeah, like that? Okay, all right, I'm doing great, all right,

608
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.839
I've got I got three more, or I should say

609
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.760
four more, because I gotta do the Malloy Twins. So okay,

610
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:12.559
well I'll just jump to them Lloyd Twins, Dan Ackroyd

611
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:13.199
and Bill Murray.

612
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.960
I don't know, I feel like they should be younger.

613
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:19.400
Well, I was going with like the Luke and Owen

614
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:23.400
Wilson because they're not younger. They're not They're not like Casey.

615
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:26.079
Yeah, like young, but it would be hilarious.

616
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:29.480
So I'm not that I was going for this. I

617
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.559
leaned in, well, it's eighty seven. I mean, they're not

618
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:36.079
that old. This is well, this is just a few

619
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:41.079
years after Ghostbusters. So I'm going for the comedy, you know. Yeah, okay,

620
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:45.880
because I mean, but I'm not saying okay, no, all right,

621
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.400
I think I'm gonna get you with my I think

622
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:50.079
I'm feeling pretty good about my last two. Again, it's

623
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:54.800
nineteen eighty seven in the role of Linus Young, somewhat

624
00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:02.559
naive Linus Michael J. Fox, right, yes, yeah, and then

625
00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:03.599
he was.

626
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:05.920
Getting a little he was trying to transition.

627
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:08.960
Was yeah, he'd done Back to the Future and he's

628
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:10.760
trying to be it was.

629
00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:11.920
Like a secret of my success.

630
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.960
Yeah, exactly. I think I think he did that, Nadye.

631
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:16.920
I'm feeling it.

632
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:22.760
Yeah, eight yeah, okay, all right, last one and again

633
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:24.639
I'm gonna give you the name because you know whom

634
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:25.920
I'm talking about, Terry Benedict.

635
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:27.559
Okay, okay, So.

636
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.760
You got to think if Michelle Pfeiffer is Tess and

637
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:36.400
she left Harrison Ford. You know, if that's our Danny Ocean,

638
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:43.239
who who can command the coolness and the suaveness and

639
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:49.400
the confidence, It's got to be Jack Nicholson, who has

640
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:51.480
worked with Michelle Pfeiffer.

641
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.159
You know, you know I love Jack.

642
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:57.559
I know you love Jack. What I'm saying, list in.

643
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.119
The list of people that you would leave Harrison Ford.

644
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:03.760
Four, Amber Lewis, if you had to leave Parrison Ford,

645
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:05.360
you couldn't say no, I know what I do it

646
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:06.000
if you.

647
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:10.000
Have that had he got jail and breaks the art and.

648
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:14.519
Jack is there and think about this and he's being charming. Yeah,

649
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:19.360
because by your own account, Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer

650
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:24.159
had the chemistry in the Witches of Eastwick, which is

651
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.159
a film which is one that we covered. Go back

652
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:30.440
and check that out, right. They had the chemistry in Wolf,

653
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:33.760
which Holy Cow is another one that you and I covered,

654
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:35.280
go back and check it out. Any time we're talking

655
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:38.320
Jack Nicholson and Michelle Peiffer, I like that in the episode,

656
00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:41.280
you're gonna be there. So that's that's my cast for

657
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:44.239
Ocean's eleven, nineteen eighty seven. What do you think could

658
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:46.360
they have? Could they have done this? I'm not saying

659
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:48.719
that I don't want what we got, but we could

660
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.119
have had a nineteen sixty version, we could have had

661
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:52.599
a nineteen eighty seven version, and then we could have

662
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:54.400
had two thousand and one. Yes, I think this cast

663
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:54.880
would have worked.

664
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:57.440
I don't hate it. I think you did good.

665
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:02.000
Listeners listen, well, they are listening because they're listening. But listeners,

666
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.360
we want to hear your choices for a nineteen eighty

667
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.840
seven Oceans eleven and if you've got if you got

668
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.920
some better suggestions, because yeah, give us, give us because

669
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:13.320
I do agree with you, Amber, I think we could

670
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:14.280
go younger.

671
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:19.280
Sold on that one. So who else can be the

672
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:20.039
Maloya twins?

673
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.480
He can be, who can be who's young and funny

674
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:25.480
in nineteen eighty seven? That's what we got to figure

675
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:27.440
out because I kind of did this off the cuff.

676
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:30.039
So I'm hoping our listeners can help us out with

677
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.480
that one, because and maybe they got some better choices.

678
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:35.159
I don't know, but i'd love to. I'd love to

679
00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:36.920
hear their responses. I'd love to hear what they got.

680
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:37.639
Maybe we do.

681
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:42.960
Maybe we do an Outsider's reunion and we get Matt

682
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:44.239
Dylan and Ralf Maccia.

683
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:48.960
Ooh, I'm not I'm not opposed to that, but can

684
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.079
I listen? Macio's kind of my nemesis. Can can I

685
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.920
have with you? Can I have Tommy Howe? Because he's

686
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:58.920
a buddy I don't even know. I don't like how

687
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.360
do you not like him? He's rob Oh my gosh. Okay,

688
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:03.320
let's keep a good thing.

689
00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:07.199
I'm not gonna yeah, you did get already.

690
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.840
Yeah, let's let let's not argue. Let's let's keep this going.

691
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:13.239
I know there's a scene you want to talk about,

692
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:14.840
and there's a scene I want.

693
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.480
To talk about, probably the same scene.

694
00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:22.320
It's not no, okay, I'll go first. How about that

695
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:29.079
I chose my scene specifically for the cinematography. You could

696
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:32.719
argue that it might be a pivotal moment because of

697
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:39.039
a reveal that happens, but really it's the cinematography. For me,

698
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:41.559
it's the way the shot is set up. And I'm

699
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:50.280
talking about the moment that Rusty confronts Danny about tests.

700
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:55.280
You know, he's just found out here. Okay, now here's

701
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.119
and here's why. So the scene starts. One thing I

702
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:02.280
love about Soda Birn. The camera's always moving in this

703
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:06.039
movie with this guy, it's never a static shot. So

704
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.760
we are in tight on the vault, you know, we

705
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:12.159
see someone's backs to us and they're putting away chips,

706
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:15.079
and then we start to pull out and wait, this

707
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:16.920
are we in the vault. We're not in the vault.

708
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.000
This is like they're setting up because it's our guys,

709
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.320
it's the boys, and they're setting up, like, oh, they're

710
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:24.800
creating their own vault and what is going on here?

711
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:28.880
And his camera movement goes past that because we don't

712
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.840
we don't dwell on it. It just we just happen

713
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.920
to catch it because he's dropping little breadcrumbs for us,

714
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.800
like pay attention because this is gonna matter in the

715
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:43.639
in the third act, right yes, And then Clooney is

716
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:45.960
pulled away Brad Pitt, you know, he comes up and

717
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:49.800
let's go come on right now, and they walk like

718
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:53.760
they're basically they're walking off away from the action, and

719
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:57.760
the camera follows them. But then the camera finally holds

720
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:02.000
up and they keep going away and they they basically

721
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.519
the head of the door. It's all backlit. You can

722
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:08.280
see the casino across the street, so you're kind of like,

723
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:11.119
what's going on? Like, oh, they're that close. That's where

724
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:13.599
that's that's their head up, that's their hot their hideout, right,

725
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:16.559
that's that's HQ where they're putting all their stuff together.

726
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:23.599
And you see Clooney and Pitt almost silhouettes having the conversation,

727
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:25.760
and he's, you know, he's like, tell me it's not

728
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.760
about her or I'm walking. I'm walking right now, and

729
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.880
Cloney's trying to calm him down. He's like, Hey, I'm

730
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:34.840
just telling you. If there's you know, you're going up

731
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:36.599
to two things here and if you can't have the

732
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:43.079
one ways, let me remind you. Yeah, exactly. So it's

733
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.760
kind of a pivotal moment because like these guys have

734
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:48.320
been they've been in sync the whole time, and this

735
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:51.639
whole movie is all about con on top of con,

736
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:55.039
on top of con, And for a quick second, you're like, wait,

737
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:59.519
is was Cloney conon pit? You know, like why didn't

738
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:01.280
he tell him from the get go, Like, Hey, just

739
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:03.960
so you know, Tess is there and here's what I'm doing,

740
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.239
here's what's here's who I'm going after. So I think

741
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:08.920
it's a little bit of a pivotal moment, but I

742
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:12.760
truly I just love it for the cinematography because a

743
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:16.280
camera that's always moving and sodaberg hap he makes the

744
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:20.239
right decision and says, these guys Russy's trying to have

745
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.960
a private conversation, and that's why we're not right there

746
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:27.719
on a close up with both of them in a

747
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.719
two shot. We are. We see them and we can

748
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:32.800
hear them, but we're not supposed to, is what it

749
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.440
feels like. And I love that about that scene. Well.

750
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:39.960
I also, like Soderbergh mentioned in the comment director's commentary,

751
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:44.719
he doesn't really do a lot of blocking. He doesn't

752
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.920
tell them where to be. He just kind of says,

753
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:52.000
you know, find a spot where you're comfortable, where you

754
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.440
think your person would be. And so it's interesting then

755
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:00.159
when you get like a big wide shot of the room,

756
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:01.320
like all the guys are.

757
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:04.199
There, everyone's busy doing something right, you know.

758
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.679
And who ends up in the background and who you

759
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:13.840
know is placed in these different shots is just interesting storytelling.

760
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:18.400
Yeah, well it's funny because like sometimes I know they

761
00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:20.719
talked about this on the audio commentary, like I really

762
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:22.920
wanted to be in that shot, but I just couldn't

763
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:24.360
because it was just nothing for me to do or

764
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:28.119
nowhere for me to go. And Garcia he's he's talking

765
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:31.079
about he's a call. I'm excited, Here comes my here

766
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.280
comes my big moment with Matt, you know, our big

767
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.239
scene together. And they're talking about how you know, because

768
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.000
the producer of this movie, you know, he's he's kind

769
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.280
of juiced in to Vegas. He's friends with the owner

770
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:46.719
of the Blagio, so they gave the hotel, the casino

771
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:53.119
gave them a lot of access.

772
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:52.280
And other casinos did too.

773
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:56.960
No idea, you can't do that unless your name is

774
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.400
George Clooney and Bratt Pitt. You know, Joya Roberts is

775
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:02.440
going to be here staying at our hotel for the

776
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:05.719
whole production. Sounds great. Yeah, you can do whatever you want.

777
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:09.119
And anyways, Garcia he's like, yeah, they had to close

778
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:13.000
they closed down the entire VIP parking, you know, on

779
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.519
the front of the building, so that we could shoot this,

780
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.679
and you know, all these whales, all these these fat cats,

781
00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:20.440
they're like they're going to the parking garage and they're

782
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:24.000
not happy about it. But too bad. But it's just Benedict.

783
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.800
When we were we're introduced to him, he comes walking

784
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:30.159
in and like ten feet away from him. It's a

785
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:33.119
blinking and you miss it moment. Matt Damon's walking out

786
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:35.679
and Matt Damon kind of side eyes him, and then

787
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.599
the commentary they're like, oh, hey, Matt, hey Andy, all right,

788
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:41.880
see you. Thanks. It's just that's their big scene. That's

789
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:43.880
the only sign they're they're looked on there, they're basically

790
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:47.440
seen on camera together. It's funny. That's so funny, Amber,

791
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:49.480
What is what's tell me about the scene that you

792
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:51.000
want to talk about? Why? Why did you pick the

793
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:54.280
scene that you're picking. Was it the cinematography, was it

794
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:57.400
a performance? Was it you No, it didn't piss you off,

795
00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:59.519
So I won't ad nothing.

796
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:00.920
About this movie businesses me off.

797
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:08.880
No, the the acting, it's everything that the way it's lit,

798
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:14.679
the location, everything about it is just you are just

799
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:17.840
completely immersed in this moment.

800
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:20.320
And you kind of forget about everything else that's going on.

801
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:24.280
And that is the scene with Danny and Tess in

802
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:25.519
the picassa restaurant.

803
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:28.400
Good scene. I scene.

804
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:30.400
I love that scene so much.

805
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.039
There it's like banter, but they're mad, so it's not

806
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:38.880
really banter, and everybody's very calm, but there's a lot.

807
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:40.280
Of emotion in play.

808
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:45.760
Everything about it. I just their chemistry is amazing.

809
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:50.679
Amber, you are a strong willed woman. What do you

810
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:55.000
do when you're ex tells you you don't love me?

811
00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:57.679
That's fine, I gotta live with that. You can be

812
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:01.960
with someone but not him, Like, you know, I'm not joking,

813
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:05.719
Like that's a that's bold of him, right, and I

814
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.840
love that. She's like, I'm not laughing, you know, it's yeah.

815
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:11.880
I'm not listening to you at all.

816
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:17.400
However, yeah, you can tell the wheels immediately start turning

817
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:22.360
because she has to know. You don't own three casinos

818
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:26.400
in Vegas if you're like a super clean you know, yeah,

819
00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:29.760
I'm just a businessman, you know, kind of guy, Like

820
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:33.400
there's got to be some shady, ruthless behavior.

821
00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:38.320
It opens his hand on her shoulder. That smile she gives,

822
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:42.719
she knows it's right, and then she's shocked when it's

823
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:47.280
not Benedict and it's it's it's Danny, and yeah, it's

824
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:49.840
that's a great moment. I really I agree with you.

825
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:52.920
That's a that's that is two people at the top

826
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:58.079
of their game having a having a good scene together. Absolutely.

827
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:00.679
Yeah, it's so good.

828
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:05.079
And you know, people try so hard to accomplish this

829
00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:07.559
in movies, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't,

830
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:08.599
but boy when it does.

831
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:14.360
Yeah, what's funny? Just a quick you know about Julia?

832
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:17.440
You know the story like you know, like I said,

833
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.039
Sodaberg and Clooney are they're basically making phone calls right,

834
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:26.440
except that they didn't. They didn't call Julia. He sent

835
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:29.000
her a letter, He sent her a script. Can you

836
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:30.440
tell can you tell the listeners about that?

837
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:32.239
George Clooney.

838
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:36.199
They wanted Julia Roberts to do it, and George Clutney

839
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:38.679
sent her a copy of the script with a twenty

840
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:41.760
dollars bill paper clip to it and said, I hear

841
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:45.719
you're making twenty a picture. Now would you join us

842
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:46.760
for our heist movie?

843
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:48.559
And how do I mean, my god, how do you

844
00:46:48.599 --> 00:46:48.880
say no?

845
00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:51.960
You can't say no? I mean again, she had just

846
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:54.280
I don't know if she's I think she might have

847
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:56.880
been the first, the first woman to get twenty million

848
00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:01.199
a picture. It was a big deal back then. So

849
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.679
the fact that he can have a fun joke with it, yes,

850
00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:07.519
because everyone took said that.

851
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:12.880
You know they're shooting in the Bellaggio. Yeah, and he said,

852
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:15.280
you know, of course, just off to either side of

853
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.039
the shot is a velvet rope with hundreds of people

854
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:23.639
watching them. He said, you know, everybody was surprisingly respectful.

855
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:24.199
They were very.

856
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:27.440
Quiet and you know, didn't take flash pictures and stuff like,

857
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:29.599
they didn't do anything to disrupt shooting.

858
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:34.719
They were just there. And he said that the biggest.

859
00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:39.360
Like reaction response was when Julia Roberts was there.

860
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:40.360
I believe it.

861
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:42.159
I asked, like, it wasn't for.

862
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:44.440
Brad Pitt, it wasn't for George Clooney, it was when

863
00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:45.400
Julia showed.

864
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:49.719
Up well and rightly. So, uh, I'll tell you something

865
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:53.079
I was really surprised about. Soderbergh wanted to shoot this

866
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:58.639
in black and white. Warner Brother said sure, on one

867
00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:03.280
condition he gets cut in half. And then he said, hey,

868
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:05.559
color sounds great. Let's well we'll let's let's shoot this

869
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.480
in color. Do you think this would have worked as

870
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:10.519
a black and white like a you know, if it's

871
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:13.519
because it's got it like David Holmes score. It's got

872
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:17.039
this jazzy score. It's a fun score. Does it does

873
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:20.480
it transport us back or do At that point, I

874
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:22.079
feel like you almost have to do a period piece

875
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.840
if you're gonna go black and white with this, does

876
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:28.000
it have to be a period piece to be successful

877
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:29.039
or could they pulled it off?

878
00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:32.480
I mean, I think it would have worked better as

879
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:37.599
a period piece, but I don't understand why in a

880
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:39.239
place like Las Vegas.

881
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.320
Yeah, you wouldn't use all that color.

882
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:46.440
And it's used to such great effect in this movie,

883
00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:47.679
even like before.

884
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:48.400
They get to Vegas.

885
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:52.199
Yeah, the use of color is really I mean, it's

886
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.000
noticeable from the very beginning. So I just think that

887
00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:59.079
would be such a wasted opportunity.

888
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:04.159
Well, and I pose it with the it's not and

889
00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:08.480
I listen, I say that with this. I love black

890
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:11.119
and white cinema. I mean some of my favorite films

891
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:13.719
are black and white films. So there's a time and

892
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.000
a place, absolutely, and I wish we got more, but

893
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:20.400
I don't know that this would have been the right palette. Yeah,

894
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:22.840
I'll tell you what. Let's take one last break, Camber,

895
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:26.079
and then we'll talk some numbers and we'll start wrapping

896
00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:32.000
things up. All right, Amber, time to run the numbers.

897
00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:35.760
I know we need. Listen, some of us are our

898
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:40.320
nerds for analytics and factoids like this, so let me

899
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:42.440
give you a few, a few here, because I am

900
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:45.760
I am surprised about a couple of numbers. I'm gonna

901
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:48.239
throw out you, but let me let me give you this.

902
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:51.760
It was released on December seventh, two thousand and one,

903
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.159
with a run time of one hour in fifty six minutes,

904
00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:58.760
which I again, I'm gonna say, this is a perfect film.

905
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:01.400
I don't think you need more scenes. I don't think

906
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:05.119
you need less. I think everything YEP is just ideal.

907
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.639
On an eighty five million dollar budget, it took the

908
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:13.800
number one spot opening weekend point in thirty eight million

909
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:18.840
uh and also effectively knocking Harry Potter down to number two.

910
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:24.400
It would finish out its theatrical run with a whopping

911
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:29.840
four hundred and fifty million dollars worldwide gross. That's one

912
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:33.440
hell of a payday for Warner Brothers. I mean, heck, yeah,

913
00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:37.039
eighty five million. It brings back four hundred fifty million.

914
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:41.199
And that's not even counting like VHS, DVD, Blu Ray sales,

915
00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:46.280
residuals from television, all that good stuff. As far as

916
00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:49.559
ratings go, though, here's where I'm a little surprised. IMDb

917
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:52.800
score seven point seven out of ten. I feel like

918
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:58.440
that's that's low. Yeah, that should be higher. Eighty three

919
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:03.280
percent fresh on rw Tomatoes, which sounds about right, because

920
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:06.239
you've got to be a perfect, perfect film to be

921
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:09.159
in the high eighties to nineties. For whatever reason, I'm

922
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:12.079
Rotten Tomatoes a lot of haters. I'm Rotten Tomatoes maybe

923
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:15.360
seventy four out of one hundred on Metacritic. That's another

924
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:21.800
one where I'm like, sure, I don't know. And then lastly,

925
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:23.199
this is the one. This is the one I don't get.

926
00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:26.559
Cinema score that's where the audience is pulled right when

927
00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:30.360
they're walking out of the film. Cinema score grade B plus.

928
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:34.400
The heck, come on, I would think this is a

929
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:39.000
At worst, it's an as. Yeah, I would.

930
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:41.760
Say, I have a list of movies that I consider perfect.

931
00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:45.519
Yeah, it's a very like it's a small list, but

932
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:48.559
I've got my my list and this is on that list.

933
00:51:48.760 --> 00:51:52.440
Like I would I have no complaints.

934
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:54.639
Time and place. But I'd be kind of fun to

935
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:58.480
do an episode on the perfect film because I would

936
00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:01.920
think doesn't matter what anyone brings to the table, Like,

937
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:04.679
I don't know, if you if it's perfect, I think

938
00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:08.360
we'd all have to just immediately say yep, perfect, mm hmm.

939
00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:11.440
You my wheel are turning now, so I'm gonna start

940
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:11.840
thinking about that.

941
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:13.079
We're debate that later.

942
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:16.119
Yeah, we will debate that. What I want to debate

943
00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:20.880
right now, Let's talk. Someone watches Ocean's eleven and they say, Amber,

944
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:24.440
this movie is a perfect film, And I get it.

945
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:29.159
This guy he's made some big movies, but I like

946
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:33.119
the underrated stuff. Can you give me a recommendation anything

947
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:40.000
written by, directed by, or possibly starring Steven Soderberg? What

948
00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:43.360
are you going to give them? What? What's your recommendation?

949
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.880
I was tortured by this.

950
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:51.639
Yeah, and I also am disappointed because I thought isn't

951
00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:53.159
produced a choice?

952
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:58.360
No, I'm sorry, Sorry, it's too easy, because I mean

953
00:52:58.400 --> 00:53:00.880
every every actor nowadays produces everything.

954
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:06.239
Yeah, fair, Okay, well then all right, I'm gonna go

955
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:10.119
directed by and it's a movie that I've never seen,

956
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:13.280
but I am wildly intrigued.

957
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:15.639
And I don't know why I've never seen this movie.

958
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:21.119
Okay, I'm you have you had my uh my curiosity,

959
00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:23.320
but now you have my full attention. This is this

960
00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:24.840
is gonna be this is gonna be good. What do

961
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:25.360
you got for me?

962
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:29.599
Because I was thinking about this a lot, but then

963
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:34.119
I thought produced was a thing. So I picked two

964
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.880
different things. But at any rate, I'm trying to look

965
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.559
up what year it was. But he made a movie

966
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:44.199
called Steven Soderberg directed a movie called The Good German.

967
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:48.239
The Good German? Yes, okay, wait is that with Is

968
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:49.800
that with Clooney? Yeah?

969
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:57.039
It stars George Clooney and Katelyn Chett and Toby Maguire yep.

970
00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:02.519
And it's World War two, but it's like after the

971
00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:07.840
war in Europe, after the for the war in Asia ends,

972
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:13.880
so it's that kind of Middle era. And George is

973
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:19.519
like a journalist I think, and and Kate Blanchette is

974
00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:22.039
married to a German. I think she's a Jew married

975
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:25.960
to a German who had to make some tough choices

976
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:27.679
to get through the war. And then I'm not sure

977
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:30.519
who Toby Maguire is. But it just sounds it has

978
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:35.199
to do with Operation paper Clip, and it sounds really interesting.

979
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:36.320
I don't know how I missed it.

980
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:39.519
I would strongly urge you to check it out. I

981
00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:42.079
think you're going to really enjoy it. It's good.

982
00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:43.079
It's you.

983
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:45.159
Yes, I recommend.

984
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:47.079
Mention that you like black and white.

985
00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:48.719
It's black and white. It's it is.

986
00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:52.159
Yeah, it's a war kind of kind of thing and

987
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:56.000
uh huh, so that's my recommendation.

988
00:54:56.159 --> 00:54:58.000
We'll all try it together, all right.

989
00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:00.320
I would yeah, I would love I would love watch

990
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:02.639
that one again. We maybe next season we talk about

991
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:04.599
that one. I don't, I don't know. We can't. We

992
00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:07.159
can't talk about every Stephen Soderberg movie. I mean, that's

993
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:08.800
that's that's number three where we're like, oh, yeah, we

994
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:11.000
should do that one. We'll have to figure it out.

995
00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:12.800
Maybe we do a poll or something like that. Next

996
00:55:12.840 --> 00:55:15.280
next season. We let the audience, We let the listeners

997
00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:18.760
decide for us. Uh, I've got one for you, can

998
00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:22.079
I can I give you one that our dear friend

999
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:26.719
Angela Norris definitely not gonna watch by herself because you know,

1000

Yes.

1002
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:35.800

1024
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.400
Nightwatch does for pretty much the whole movie.

00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:54.679
Oh my gosh.

1026
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:56.360

1036
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:19.079
kind of thing. It's it's a good one. I would

1037
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:19.920
strongly recommend that.

1038
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:21.639

Uh.

1045
00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:40.960

You can rent this one just about every streaming platform

1047
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:49.280

1048
00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:52.360
the DVD or the Blu Ray version. It definitely belongs

1049
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:53.280

00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:55.320

Uh. And if not for any other reason, it's you

1052
00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:03.559
get not one, but two really good commentaries on this.

1053
00:58:03.800 --> 00:58:06.880
On this one, I'm looking at it right here, because

1054
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.599
you know you've talked about Soderbergh and we at the

1055
00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:11.480
top of the hour, we're talking about how important DVD

1056
00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:15.360
extras are to him Ocean's eleven. This has behind the

1057
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:19.440
scenes documentaries HBO first look, the making of Oceans eleven

1058

1059
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:28.440
audio commentaries that we talked about. It's just it's packed.

1060
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:30.679
And then there's even like DVD rom stuff because I'm

1061
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:35.320
holding like one of the original like clamshell DVDs you

1062
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:39.159

1063
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:41.000

1064
00:58:41.239 --> 00:58:44.280
