1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.839
Welcome to twenty twenty five. We are just a few

2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.559
weeks away from the premiere of our sixth season, which

3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:11.279
begins on Monday, January thirteenth, But in the meantime, we

4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.519
had this special episode to hold you over the top

5
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:19.160
ten of the twenty twenties as decided by you, the listener.

6
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.879
We asked you to give us your mid decade top

7
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.399
ten lists, and while they slightly surprised us, they did

8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.480
not disappoint. So let's find out which of your picks

9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:50.880
made the list.

10
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.320
Happy New Year. Thank you for joining us at a

11
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.000
film buys once a decade New year'sctacular. I'm going to

12
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.359
be your guide through this cavalcade of cinema greatness, but

13
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.400
I can't do it alone, so I'm joined by our

14
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.640
fearless leader and audio editing wizard, Jeff Double J Johnson.

15
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.400
Andrew it is. You have no idea how relaxing it

16
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.879
is to be in the passenger seat and not lead

17
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.400
for a change, So thank you. I love this idea,

18
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.920
I love that you brought it for the listeners, and

19
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.640
I am happy to be a part of it.

20
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.920
And our fellow Gusbert, a friend of the show and

21
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.000
host of the surely you can't be serious podcast, Jason.

22
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:33.920
This is our first time together, so I don't have

23
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.560
a nickname for you. Cole.

24
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.719
Then I'm happy to be here, guys. I'm ready to

25
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.640
talk some movies that I absolutely loved and maybe a

26
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.280
couple that I didn't love so much.

27
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.439
So it's a wild list. I think we're all pretty

28
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.079
surprised but we got on here. But I'm excited to

29
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.159
talk about it. So the reason we wanted to do

30
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.040
this obviously wanted to do something fun for the New

31
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.560
Year's but also the twenties have been an interesting time

32
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.879
for movies. We kicked off the decade with a pandemic,

33
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.359
We've seen a huge rise in streaming content, which has

34
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.640
just changed the game. So I want to hear what

35
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.000
do you guys thoughts about the decade, what's different, what

36
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.400
do you like? What do you not like about it?

37
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:11.879
I'll tell you what I don't like about it. You know,

38
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.280
with COVID happening, we lost a lot of great theaters,

39
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.080
a lot of a lot of just truly wonderful places

40
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.199
to go get lost in the cinematic experience. One of

41
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:26.280
my favorite theaters fell victim to this during COVID. It

42
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.560
was a situation where they were doing anything they could

43
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.639
to get people inside the theater. You know, they were

44
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.960
replaying classics, they were you know, offering five dollars tickets

45
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.199
for any showing, anytime, any day. And I was going

46
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.560
all the time, you know, because I just, yeah, it's

47
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.319
a great deal. But I also I just wanted to

48
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.120
be at the movies. I wanted to be somewhere because

49
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.400
that was a time where you couldn't be anywhere. So,

50
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.400
you know, I definitely think the twenty twenty is off

51
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.360
to a very very sad start for the state of

52
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.639
film because we weren't getting a lot of movies made,

53
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.759
and the ones we were getting out, the no one

54
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:04.599
was going out to see them.

55
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:05.199
Yeah.

56
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.000
Yeah, I think there's something to be said for even

57
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.680
a bad movie in the theater is still a good

58
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.159
time the way I view of it. You know, I

59
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.159
love going to you played shitty arcade games for a

60
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.560
while while you're waiting for your viewing to start. It's

61
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.800
the stickiness, the uncomfortable seats or nowadays I guess I

62
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.560
got those big recliners. But something about that's always special,

63
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.439
even if the movie's not great, And that was something

64
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.120
we really, really missed for a while there.

65
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.319
Yeah, I mean COVID dropped a nuclear bomb on the

66
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.800
movie industry in twenty twenty, and it destroyed the movie

67
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.919
watching experience in twenty twenty, and it also destroyed the pipeline,

68
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.319
and so it took a couple of years for movies

69
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.319
to come out again. We were talking before we started

70
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.800
recording that most of our movies are in twenty two,

71
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.759
twenty three, twenty four, not twenty or twenty one even

72
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.439
you know, it's just it's a crappy deal. And maybe

73
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.960
streaming was already the genie out of the bottle, but

74
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.120
it felt like COVID really ramped oup up. And I

75
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.560
agree with there's something about corporate experience with other people

76
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.000
watching a movie, laughing, cheering, There's something special about going

77
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:09.599
to the theater.

78
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.240
Yeah, it's not going to make our list, but I

79
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.599
always think back to twenty nineteen with Captain America lifting

80
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.199
Thor's hammer, Like I remember, not that moment just because

81
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.480
of what happened on screen, but because of the eruption

82
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.319
of everybody around me, and like, moments like that are

83
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.519
hard to get in your living room. But having said that, Jason,

84
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.160
you mentioned streaming is on the rise, which is great.

85
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.959
I personally am a big fan because I think it

86
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.800
opens the opportunity for smaller, more intimate stories, which can

87
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.040
make some really good movies. We've even got a couple

88
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.639
on our lists here that were only released streaming. So

89
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.639
what are you guys thoughts on the rise of Netflix

90
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:44.079
and the like.

91
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.199
Well, for me, it's tougher. It makes it tougher. I

92
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.839
don't know, just the movie watching thing has changed because

93
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.240
you used to watch TV. You'd watch trailers and that

94
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.879
tell you what you wanted to see. Then you go

95
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.040
to the theater and you'd see it. And now it's

96
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.399
just there's so much content out there that it's tough

97
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.319
to kind of figure out what the big movie is

98
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.160
and what everybody is enjoying and other than just kind

99
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.079
of having your friends tell you. But sometimes I end

100
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.560
up getting lazy and I just watch Rearins and Cheers

101
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.560
or something. You know. So I like it. It's convenient,

102
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:16.759
but it's not as fun.

103
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.639
I appreciate the convenience, but I feel and I'm not

104
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.279
trying to be Christopher Nolan here, but it does take

105
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.360
away from the movie going experience for me. And you know,

106
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.480
there's movies I'll go see where I want to be.

107
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.600
I want to be in a crowd. I want to

108
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.480
I want to hear everyone cheering or clapping at the

109
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.120
same part that I'm cheering and clapping. That's fun. And

110
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.759
then there's other times I just want to see it

111
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.839
on the biggest, loudest screen possible, because sometimes that's how

112
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.879
you need to see a movie and experience it, at

113
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.959
least for the first time, you know. And we're in

114
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.000
a situation now, like you know, any one of us,

115
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.959
could you know, go to Amazon or you know, even

116
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.600
walk into your local Best Buy and buy a eighty

117
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.199
five inch TV that's four K and you can get

118
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.279
the you can get this in a going experience without

119
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.800
the people. And sometimes that's a good thing because, let's

120
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.680
face it, a lot of people are rude, you know,

121
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.800
and I'm not talking about just the people that are talking.

122
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.439
I'm talking about the people that are on their phones

123
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.360
and you know, just just being obnoxious, well while you're

124
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.199
trying to be in that movie going atmosphere. So I

125
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.480
like that, you know. I like that we have streaming options.

126
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.519
I like that some of the big streamers are doing

127
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.040
their own original content. It makes it worth having them

128
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:29.279
but I don't love it.

129
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.279
Yeah, it's it's interesting, and I'm both excited and nervous

130
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.800
about the future of it. You know, we've talked a

131
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.639
little bit, you know, Jeff. You know, my Danny Boyle

132
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.279
is one of my favorite directors, and the way he

133
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.439
talks about filmmaking is this like punk, energetic young thing

134
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:49.160
where everybody's trying to learn and grow. And so part

135
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.720
of me hates to see the dying of these theaters.

136
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:53.959
But the other part of me thinks, you know, are

137
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.839
we just getting old? Is films kind of adapt and

138
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.720
learn this new medium and learn this new way of communicating,

139
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:01.959
And you know, is that something we're gonna have to

140
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.879
adapt or die? And so I don't know. But it's

141
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.120
been an interesting year, and I think again, we've had

142
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.639
a couple streaming only movies on this list that I

143
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.240
was floored by. So I don't want to discount it.

144
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.560
I'm eager to see what happens.

145
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.560
Look, I'm all for the advancement of technology, but I

146
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.519
think at its core, the cinema going experience. I don't

147
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.000
know if that'll ever change. Like we tried, you know,

148
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.759
remember it was a couple years ago they tried that

149
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.319
quibi where you could watch new content on your phone. Yeah,

150
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:37.720
that failed spectacularly because everyone thought, hey, today's generation doord

151
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.560
atention span and they just want to watch ten minute

152
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.720
shows and movies. No, we don't, we don't want that.

153
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.839
I think Steven Spielberg said it best a long time ago.

154
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.920
Him and George Lucas had a conversation and they kind

155
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.040
of predicted that the future of the cinema going experience

156
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.759
is going to be like going to the opera or

157
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.639
the ballet or the symphony. It's gonna cost you a

158
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.639
lot of money, but it's gonna be like a premium service.

159
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.839
It's gonna be like a high quality type of fair

160
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.199
and it's not gonna be just like, you know, a

161
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.959
group of fourteen year olds sneaking into an R rateed

162
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.720
movie and talking throughout the whole thing. It's gonna be

163
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.720
a different it's gonna be it. It will change. But

164
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.079
you know, I'm one of the ones that like, hey,

165
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.800
I'll pay forty bucks to go see a new movie

166
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.040
if it means there's no cell phones in the building,

167
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.560
you know, and there's no kids talking, I'm all for that.

168
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.240
But to each of their.

169
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.959
Own, Yeah, fourteen year old Andrew is a little upset

170
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.439
about the eady that I can't sneak in and watching

171
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.000
our righted movie though, like that, that's that is a

172
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.279
life changing experience, and enough it is. Yeah, all right, Well,

173
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.240
so we're gonna get into like you said, we're gonna

174
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.480
talk about the top ten. But we had so many submissions.

175
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.279
We had fantastic lists. Movies that I forgot to mention

176
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.320
popped up several that I haven't seen. I know, Jeff

177
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.200
and Jason we've talked about like we none of us

178
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.480
have seen every movie on this list. Is that correct?

179
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:52.480
That's correct?

180
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:53.279
Not me.

181
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.919
So I loved all the responses. So what we did

182
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.919
is we combined everybody's responses and every single time a

183
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.080
name popped up on somebody's list, it got a point.

184
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.200
This is how we ranked the movies. It worked out great.

185
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.960
There were a couple of ties, so for ties I

186
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.320
used Rotten Tomatoes. We combined the audience and critic score.

187
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.720
The combined total was then used to break it down.

188
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.480
This didn't happen super often, but it was very, very helpful,

189
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.000
and I think what we got out of it was

190
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.360
really interesting because I wouldn't have called some of these

191
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.799
So we're about to get into our top ten movies

192
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.799
of the decade. So before we do, let's step aside,

193
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.879
let's take a little break, and we'll come back and

194
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:44.320
we'll hit the real list. Welcome back. We're going to

195
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.519
get into the top ten of the twenty twenties. I'm

196
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.200
so excited to do this list with you guys. We

197
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.600
got some really interesting ones, so let's jump right in.

198
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.279
At number ten, we have one of my favorite movies

199
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:03.799
of honestly of the century, Everything Everywhere, All at Once,

200
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.399
directed by the Daniels, released April eighth, twenty twenty two.

201
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.080
This was weird, This was fun. It played with a

202
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.600
multiverse concept, which is a thing that you know. I

203
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.840
think Marvel maybe overplaying their hand, but this did it

204
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.559
in such an interesting way, and it gave us such

205
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:25.840
an interesting endpoint. I have watched this movie several times

206
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.200
and I'm not sick of it at all. What are

207
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.399
you guys thoughts here this one?

208
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.440
I feel like you take something new away every time

209
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:34.320
you do sit down and watch it.

210
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:41.120
I haven't seen this one. I have not seen this one. So, oh, Jason,

211
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.240
I feel like I've letting the team down here. I'm sorry, No, sorry, obviously.

212
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.879
The first time I'm upset about it. Like up to

213
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:49.600
this point, it's I get it. I get it. You

214
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.759
gotta see this movie. It's there's nothing like this movie

215
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.840
I've ever seen out there. It's so interesting and weird

216
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.200
and unique. You gotta give it some time.

217
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:03.039
Jason, this film should be the next film you watch.

218
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:08.240
Should be this film because it's so fantastical, it's got

219
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.879
it's got our our beloved short round as an adult.

220
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.759
He Who Kwan is in this and he's doing an

221
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:19.240
incredible performance. Michelle Yeao Jamie Lee, Curtis Andrew doing one

222
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.200
of the weirdest things I've ever seen, and she wins.

223
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.080
She wins the Oscar for it. If I if I'd recall.

224
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.279
Yeah, this movie also is our first Best Picture winner

225
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:32.159
from the Speaking of the Oscars. She and k kwon

226
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.480
and this movie cleaned up and I think for good reason.

227
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.759
It's it's really strange and it gives you a really

228
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.360
like boring in I remember the first five minutes of this movie,

229
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.720
I was like, what am I? What am I signing

230
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.759
up for? I'm I don't have the energy for this.

231
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.600
And by the end of it, I was like, more,

232
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.279
give me more.

233
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.759
This is, well, it doesn't. It doesn't bill itself as

234
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:56.960
a multiverse movie. Yeah, so in a time where that's

235
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.279
you know, that storyline is getting really long in the

236
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.720
tooth with Marvel and we're kind of sick of it.

237
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.320
I you know, it was pleasantly surprised when I realize

238
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.799
what I'm watching with everything everywhere all at once, and

239
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:09.559
I love it for it.

240
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.759
Yeah. It does it in a way that stays really

241
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.679
grounded too. I think that is largely due to Michelle

242
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.679
Yo and Stephanie Sue and Kie Kwan. They had to

243
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:24.360
give these really emotionally grounded performances that like make you

244
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.360
care about them and make you genuinely concerned to what happens,

245
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.279
especially when the plot kind of makes it. I don't

246
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.480
want to say pointless what happens, but it really highlights

247
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.399
the absurdity of a multiversal concept and then brings it

248
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.679
back down and just hits you right in the heart.

249
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.799
So I love this movie. I recommend it to everybody.

250
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.639
I'm so glad it made the top ten and again

251
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.799
it is our first Best picture winner on.

252
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.240
The list and rightly so okay.

253
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.919
All right, moving on to number nine, not to beat

254
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.720
a dead horse on the multiverse concept. We have dead

255
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.519
Pool and Wolverine. This is directed by Sean Levy. This

256
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.759
is our newest film on the list, released in July

257
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.000
twenty sixth, twenty twenty four. And I don't need to

258
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.120
tell people what this movie was. I think everybody knows

259
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.039
it at this point. But what are your guys' thoughts

260
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:14.240
on Dead Pull and Wolverine.

261
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.879
Probably the funniest comedy I watched over the past five years.

262
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.759
And that shouldn't be what you say about a Marvel

263
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.879
superhero movie, but it is what it is. I loved

264
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.879
it for all the jokes and the gags and the

265
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:32.120
Easter eggs, but that's what it is. It's junk food.

266
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.480
It's junk food for the MCU world.

267
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.200
In my opinion, Yeah, this is what you go to

268
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.960
the movies for, right This is the spectacle that you

269
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.440
want to see on the big screen. It was fun.

270
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.679
There's a lot of action, The special effects were amazing,

271
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.200
the storytelling was incredible, and I laughed start to finish.

272
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.120
So I thought it was I thought it was amazing.

273
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:56.639
It made my top ten, so.

274
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:01.159
For sure it would have made mine as well. It didn't.

275
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:02.679
It got bumped. I think it was like number eleven

276
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.159
or twelve for me. But it was a tough, tough road,

277
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.960
but it's it is what a comic movie can be.

278
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:12.240
I think comic book movies get a weird reputation nowadays,

279
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.840
but they don't need to. Some of them are fun,

280
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.200
some of them are dramatics, some of them are action packed,

281
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.080
some of them are silly. That's what makes comics great.

282
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.200
So I love that Ryan Reynolds and Sean Levy have

283
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.480
done such a good job of bringing that to bear

284
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.919
in cinema because like some of the scenes from like

285
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.440
Matthew mcfaden, he's an amazing dramatic actor. He's so funny

286
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.120
in this movie. It doesn't even make sense, like what

287
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.600
are we doing here? Like why are you hiring like

288
00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:44.919
a Shakespearean level actor to be this little asshole? It's

289
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.960
so good. But yeah, it's I wouldn't call this great cinema.

290
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.360
I don't think the Academy is going to be giving

291
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.879
it any awards come next season, but it did what

292
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:57.720
it set out to do very very well.

293
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:00.679
Yeah, nice send off for Deadpool in my opinion.

294
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.840
Yeah, yeah, speaking of the Academy and what people like,

295
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.600
let's move on to the number eight spot. With Dune

296
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.519
Part one. This was October twenty second, twenty twenty one.

297
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.480
The Dennis Villeneuve Timothy Shallomey again, I don't need to

298
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:17.879
I don't need to sell you guys in this one.

299
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.039
I feel like this is a phenomenon in this decade.

300
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:25.039
Let me tell you something about Dune. For me, the bar,

301
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.360
it wasn't that it was low. It was actually a

302
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.720
trip hazard because it was laying on the floor after

303
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.559
and I'm talking, I'm talking about after the what was

304
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:38.879
it eighty four Jason David Lynch, Yeah, David Lynch that

305
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.080
I got forty minutes into that I could I couldn't.

306
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:44.360
I couldn't go forward. But this speaks volumes to that

307
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:47.360
storyline because just based on the trailer that that Max

308
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.240
put out, I couldn't wait to watch this All Star

309
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.000
cast and it looked it looked awesome, It looked freaking awesome.

310
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.840
So not surprised to see this on a top ten

311
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:01.159
list for the twenty twenties. I thought was incredible. What

312
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:01.600
about you?

313
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.879
I've resisted this one. I have not seen part one

314
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.879
or part two. WHOA because of the nineteen eighty four movie.

315
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.039
I can tell you listen, I endured the nineteen eighty

316
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.399
four movie, or at least most most of it. And

317
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.120
I can tell you, you know, you can go into

318
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.559
this with safe passage. You're not gonna be disappointed. I

319
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.799
strongly recommend you. Know, after you turn off Hulu where

320
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:32.600
you watch everything everywhere all at once, you got to

321
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:36.000
go over to Max and start Dune. But maybe start

322
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.559
in the morning because you're probably gonna watch part two afterwards. Okay,

323
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.600
you know, make it, make it, You're gonna have it.

324
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:42.840
You're gonna have yourself a doom day.

325
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:49.240
I think, really, time is gonna shine very positively on

326
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.440
Dennis's version of Doune. Yeah, because I was the same way.

327
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:54.399
I didn't see it right out of the gate. I

328
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.000
was bored, I was tired. I was like, I don't

329
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.879
want to another Dune adaptation. I'm not here for it.

330
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.600
And it got such rave reviews. It's like, fine, I'll

331
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.799
give it a shot, and I'm so glad I did, because, yeah, man,

332
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:11.279
it's good, it's real good, and it's a part one,

333
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.880
you know. I think I love when a trilogy, or

334
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.000
at least a story is set up knowing it's going

335
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:18.720
to get a sequel, knowing it's gonna be able to

336
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.960
tell a broader story, so you know, this doesn't culminate.

337
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.400
Fellowship is my favorite Lord of the Rings for a reason,

338
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.960
like they knew what they were building too, And I

339
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.440
think it's just a good start to a story. Is beautiful,

340
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.160
and this does that.

341
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:31.440
Well.

342
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.480
I love it when studios commit to a big project

343
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.519
like this, so you know it's not oh well, we'll

344
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:40.920
throw it out there and see if it's a hit

345
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.880
and then decide whether or not we're gonna do part

346
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.640
two or not. This is a commitment by the studio.

347
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:46.119
I love it.

348
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.759
Yeah, going all in. We need more of that.

349
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.359
Yeah, absolutely, all right, gentlemen, Well we're gonna take a

350
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.640
brief break before we get back into our list. We're

351
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.480
not getting younger, We're all our tastes are slowly aging.

352
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:06.119
But filmmaking is not actors filmmakers, they're getting younger. Who

353
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.680
would you say has had the best decade so far

354
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.640
in twenty twenties And this could be actor, this could

355
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:19.920
be filmmaker, this could be director, anybody. What are the

356
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.039
newcomers that you're seeing, What are people that are having

357
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.240
a resurgence, Who's having a good decade?

358
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.480
Well, I think that I think Pedro Pascal has had

359
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.680
a pretty great decade. So he was in the Last

360
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.200
of Us, which I thought was an amazing mini series, right, yeah,

361
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:43.680
and then of course Mandalorian is maybe the greatest Star

362
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.880
Wars thing to happen since the Empire strikes back, probably,

363
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:51.200
So it's fantastic. And he's been you know, he's in

364
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.640
Wonder Woman nineteen eighty four, which was terrible, but you know,

365
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.359
it's a big movie, and he was I just saw

366
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.200
him recently glad Eator Part two, So he's he's having

367
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:03.920
a strong showing.

368
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.640
He's our new Read Richards, right, that's right.

369
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.440
Yeah, that's a big swing for Marvel too. I mean again,

370
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.799
being a comic lover, being Read Richards is you know,

371
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:17.759
right right now, it's cool to be Iron Man right now,

372
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.000
it's cool to be Captain America. But if you're comic lover,

373
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:21.960
Read Richards is the man.

374
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.680
Well, let's be honest too, Like casting Pedro Pascal for

375
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:33.200
this definitely not what the comic book community expected, you know.

376
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.559
I mean, we're really going against type here for Read Richards,

377
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:38.599
especially in a world where we just got John Krasinski

378
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:40.960
a couple of years ago and everyone's still filming at

379
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.559
the mouth like wanting him. So I'm excited to see

380
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.559
what first steps is gonna give us and in the

381
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:49.319
story and more importly, in his performance.

382
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:54.200
Hell yeah, all right, Jeff, Who is your filmmaker, actor, actress?

383
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:56.480
Who's your star of the decade? Who's up and coming?

384
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.000
Who do you like?

385
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.480
You gotta give it up to the lovely and very

386
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.319
talented Florence Pugh. I mean she she hits us with

387
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.119
Midsummer in twenty nineteen and kind of makes a name

388
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.559
for herself, and then from twenty twenty on. Look at

389
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.559
what she's done. She's worked with Christopher Nolan in an

390
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:18.960
Academy Award blockbuster, She's part of the MCU. She's done

391
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:24.119
some really critically well received films. You know, she's working

392
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.559
with great directors and she's just she's electrifying on the screen.

393
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.400
I love what I love what she's doing. I just

394
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.279
can't wait to see what she's at next for us.

395
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:34.319
Great choice. She was definitely front of the list for

396
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.480
me as well. But we talked about him briefly. I

397
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.240
almost said, key, hey kwan, I love seeing a comeback.

398
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.440
I'm a big Goonies fan, you know, you know, we're

399
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.640
all big Indiana Jones fans. So I loved seeing him,

400
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.039
but he got bumped. I'm gonna go give it to

401
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.079
Jenna Ortega.

402
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:51.839
That is not a bad choice.

403
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.400
Ben, She's been in so much. She is the new

404
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:01.839
horror queen. She's been in Scream, she was Wednesday, She's,

405
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.599
she was in Studio six sixty six, fantastic comedy horror

406
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:07.920
film with the Foo Fighters. I just left and right.

407
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.400
You see her popping up in great horror films. She's

408
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.359
and she seems to have fun and do a great

409
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.119
job in every single one. I think she is making

410
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:17.960
a real name for herself as an analyster.

411
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.039
Hey, she's awesome in X and she was a lot

412
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.680
of fun in Beatlejuice Beetlejuice, which twenty four.

413
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.279
I'm amazed it took this long for her to work

414
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:32.480
with Tim Burton. It just seems like her wheelhouse. All right, Well,

415
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.359
let's jump back into our list. All right, we got

416
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:39.960
the number seven spot. Number seven for US is as

417
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:44.000
you just mentioned with Florence Pugh is Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer

418
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:50.039
released July twenty first, twenty twenty three. Damn near made

419
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.920
a billion dollars. It was one hundred million dollar budget

420
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.359
nearly just fell short of a billion in the box office.

421
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:57.599
I'm sure it'll make it on the back end.

422
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:57.880
Though.

423
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.880
This was part of Barbon Higher weekend, which I think

424
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.400
we all you you can't help but get excited for.

425
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.359
What are you guys thoughts on Oppenheimer.

426
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.839
I was excited to see it. I was part of

427
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:15.240
that whole Barbenheimer craziness. It was a lot of fun.

428
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.920
And the fact that Christopher Nolan is doing this with

429
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.880
little to no c G I still blows my every

430
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:24.240
time I watch it. It just blows my mind. And you're

431
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.079
not watching it for the test. You're watching it for

432
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:31.599
these amazing performances from you know, guys like RDJ and

433
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:35.839
Florence Pew. I mean, who isn't in this movie?

434
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:36.319
Right?

435
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.799
Yeah, that's Jason Jack Cutmore Scott right, Yeah, yeah.

436
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.519
I love the story that Matt Damon told his wife.

437
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.000
He's like, you know, I'm gonna take a break for

438
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:48.519
acting for a little while. I want to sit back

439
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:53.680
for a while unless Christopher Nolan calls and Christopher's like, well,

440
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:55.200
all right, back to it.

441
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:55.440
Then.

442
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.839
I thought this movie was fantastic as well. The fact

443
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.200
that that it is you know, the history and the

444
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.400
true story, and I mean about a man who had

445
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.599
one of the greatest impacts in human history is is

446
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:17.279
It's fascinating to watch. So yeah, it was. This is

447
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.359
my number. I bumped this to number two. This is

448
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.720
my number two overall. So I thought it was amazing.

449
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.039
Which either way. By the way, I got a little

450
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.640
nugget for you. Okay, all right, you know it. Do

451
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.400
you know where Christopher Nolan first encountered the name Oppenheimer?

452
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.480
No, I have to assume it's for interstellar because I

453
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:40.759
mean we're talking nuclear physics and whatnot.

454
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.319
But I don't know when he So in nineteen eighty five,

455
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.279
Sting had an album called The Dream of the Blue

456
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.720
Turtles and there's a song on there called Russians and

457
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.559
it mentions Oppenheimer's toy. And so that's the first time

458
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:58.599
he had ever heard that name.

459
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:04.119
I have been way for some kind of deep rabbit hole,

460
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:05.319
deep dive or nugget.

461
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:08.119
Clearly you get me serious style nugget.

462
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:10.599
So thank you. I'm gonna scratch it off my big

463
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.400
o card. I was waiting for it, and wow, that

464
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.440
blows my mind. Blows my mind.

465
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:17.880
What do you got?

466
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.000
Real quick? I gotta I gotta ask, would you guys

467
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:24.720
say this is Killy Murphy's best performance when you look

468
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:25.319
at his career?

469
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.680
Yes, I don't know. I have a hard time with

470
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.759
biopics and saying to anybody's best performance. They always feel

471
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.519
a little bit. It sounds awful to say, But Oscar

472
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.839
Baby and I love Killian Murphy. He's done some amazing work.

473
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:44.319
You know, We've talked about my love for Danny Boyle,

474
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.920
but he's got a long career of great stuff. This

475
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:50.440
was amazing, but I don't know if I could call

476
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.880
it his best interesting all right, I think nobody's surprised

477
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.359
to find that one in the top ten. But let's

478
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:58.319
move on to our number six spot. We're gonna have

479
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:00.279
a little bit of a repeat here with Dune Part

480
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:05.359
two again. We're talking Dennis Felaneuve March first, twenty twenty four.

481
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.839
I'm gonna go out on a limb, Jason, and guess

482
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.519
you haven't seen this one. I have not, Jeff, what

483
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:13.519
are your thoughts though?

484
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:17.680
I will everything I said about Dune Part one, and

485
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.079
then I'll add that, Oh, by the way, Florence p

486
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:25.400
was in this, so just one more reason why I'm

487
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:28.680
picking her. As you know, having the best twenty twenties.

488
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.440
Zandania also pops up. She technically pops up in the

489
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.200
first one, but she's really in this one.

490
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:36.799
Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, this one.

491
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.480
Yeah. I mean the cast Okay, can we just talk

492
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:41.759
about the cast alone. We got Josh Brolin, we got

493
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.599
Dave Batista, we got Timothy Shalome, we got Rebecca Ferguson.

494
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.680
I mean, it is just a lister after a lister,

495
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.759
like quality after quality like this dude pulled together cast.

496
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.200
It's like, you can't make a bad movie.

497
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:58.599
We've seen where directors get ensemble casts and they do

498
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:02.039
make a bad movie. But Dennis is doing no such

499
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.880
thing here, and with my man shallow May leading the pack,

500
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:09.599
how do you not just love this, this two part

501
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.359
story and want more? That's what I'll say.

502
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:15.039
Yeah, I don't want to spoil anything. I mean, if

503
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:16.759
you know the story, you know it. If you don't,

504
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:21.240
just go see it. It's it's interesting, it's unique, it's

505
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.119
I don't think, you know, going back to the story itself,

506
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.279
you don't get Star Wars without Dune. It feels like

507
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:30.400
now that's gone the other way around, as whereas you

508
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.480
don't get Dune without Star Wars, and I think that's

509
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.279
a really cool arms race of sci fi that they're playing.

510
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.519
You get another Sting connection too, by the way, all right,

511
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.960
let's hear it. I mean you get Sting and you

512
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.759
know Oppenheimer's the song, and then of course Sting was

513
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:49.400
in the original nineteen eighty four Dune.

514
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:50.160
So there you go.

515
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.960
I've blocked that out of my memory. Dat. All right, well,

516
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.440
let's move up to the number five spot. John, You've

517
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.319
got another comic book film, you got another multiverse film.

518
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.319
We got Spider Man No Way Home. Released December seventeenth,

519
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:12.000
twenty twenty one. This is the first great film from

520
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.480
the MCU post end Game as far as I'm concerned,

521
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.880
and you are correct thrilled with how it turned out.

522
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:20.359
I went back and rewatched it recently. I was like,

523
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:22.079
does it hold up as well as I thought it does?

524
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.559
And it does. It's really good.

525
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:26.400
What are you guys thoughts on this one?

526
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:31.680
This one is a situation where again we're kind of

527
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:35.960
over this whole multiverse storytelling. But man, if you're gonna

528
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.640
do it, I mean, leave all the cards on the table.

529
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:43.640
Bringing back not one, but two other Spider Man from

530
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:47.519
the Columbia Tristars Sony days. I thought that took some

531
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.720
real courage from Kevin Figi in the MCU to do

532
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:54.759
this and kind of connect them. So it's an incredible story.

533
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:58.440
It gave us everything that we wanted and and I

534
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:02.319
agree with you, it's definitely the best post endgame MCU

535
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:03.000
film we've had.

536
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.680
Todate, Yeah, I haven't seen this one either. No, I'm

537
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.119
just kidding.

538
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:13.920
Just looks like that man.

539
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:17.039
Oh no, no, this is what you go to movies

540
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:20.960
to watch, right right. The bringing back Andrew Garfield and

541
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:24.720
Toby mguire was really I agree with you, Jeff, it's

542
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:28.880
really courageous because that doesn't work the whole movie shot,

543
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:32.440
you know, and you bring back William Dafoe and he

544
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:35.839
looks like he has an aged twenty minutes from two

545
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:41.319
thousand and two Alfred same thing, yeah, right right, And

546
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:48.880
it was just absolutely blow your socks off summer blockbuster fun. Yeah,

547
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.240
it's it's amazing. In fact, the when we get to

548
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:55.480
the to the speed round here, it'll make an appearance

549
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.599
on my speed round list here.

550
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.039
I'll tell you one more thing for the For the

551
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.119
eleven people that didn't see it, I'll tell you it

552
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.559
has a great ending and gives us a new direction

553
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:10.079
for Spider Man to take that we desperately needed after

554
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:14.440
all the start tech and you know fan fare that

555
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:15.160
they were doing with that.

556
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.119
So yeah, I'm a big Spider Man fan from way back.

557
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:21.640
You know, we've talked about Captain America more than once,

558
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.799
but like as a kid, Spider Man was my jam

559
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:25.519
and I think this is the kind of movie that

560
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.599
Spider Man comics have always dabbled in the multiverse. He's

561
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:31.480
running himself a lot. You know, we talked about it

562
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.920
very briefly back and across the Spider Verse, but that

563
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.359
isn't a movie you can just make. I think it

564
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.359
would fall so flat at any other time in history.

565
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:41.880
I think you go back to the beginning of the

566
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:45.880
MCU or pre Iron Man, this movie doesn't work. And

567
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:47.559
I think if you make this ten years from now,

568
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.440
it doesn't work. It just threaded the needle so perfectly

569
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:57.200
on the fan service and the tying together of storylines

570
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:01.119
and the finding its moments so perfectly that that worked

571
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:03.839
in a way that had the emotional impact the comic

572
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.240
books have for a lot of kids. That just doesn't

573
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:10.640
normally translate well to screen. So yeah, I was blown away.

574
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:13.000
I didn't expect it to be that good, and I

575
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:18.640
was wrong. So I'm very, very happily pleasantly wrong. All right,

576
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:22.559
So before we get into the final four, let's do

577
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.119
some rapid fire questions about the decade. Now, I've given

578
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.240
you guys these questions ahead of time. I don't anybody

579
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.920
think you guys are wizards that just know these off

580
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:30.799
the top of your head.

581
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.039
No.

582
00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:33.400
I needed some thought on this one.

583
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.400
Yeah, me too.

584
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.079
I came up with the questions long before I came

585
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.559
up with the answers. I stressed myself out here. So

586
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.599
let's do it. First question, we're gonna go rapid fire.

587
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:46.519
We're gonna do Jeff, then Jason, then myself. Best action

588
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:48.519
scene of the decade, Jeff, what do you got?

589
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.160
The opening scene of No Time to Die? Bond is

590
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.519
in action on foot, on motorcycle, and in the Aston

591
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.480
Martin in the span of three or four minutes taking

592
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:02.200
out the spectro assassin's It's everything you want in an

593
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:03.519
opening for a James Bond film.

594
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.759
Hell yeah, Daniel Craig is a machine. I love it

595
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:10.039
all right, Jase, what do you got? Okay?

596
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:12.240
For me? It was Spider Man, No Way Home? When

597
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:16.359
you got the three Spider Man battling Electro and Sandman

598
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:22.279
and Green Goblin, I think and just all three you're

599
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:27.160
you're basically watching three Spider Man movies at the same time.

600
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:27.960
It was incredible.

601
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:30.839
Yeah, we were all twelve years old watching that. I

602
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:32.759
believe it doesn't matter how old you are. You watch

603
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.240
that and you turned it into a twelve year old.

604
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:35.079
It was perfect.

605
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:38.359
When Andrew Garfield has an emotional moment where he wants

606
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.920
to know if he did get Gwynn in time or

607
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.240
get married Jane and times. Best part of that scene.

608
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:46.920
I don't even love the amazing Spider Man movies, and

609
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:50.119
that still got me like that. That was perfect. Andrew

610
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:52.960
Garfield is a legend all right for me. I went

611
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.039
with Tyler Rake aka Chris Hemsworth in Extraction. There is

612
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.519
a long cut scene where he just beats his way

613
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:06.680
through enemy after enemy. It's wild, it's intense, the endurance involved.

614
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:09.200
I love the filmmaking aspect of it. It's a movie

615
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.759
made by stunt people, so you can tell it was

616
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.440
made with love for stump people real quick.

617
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:20.359
That's another WTF situation. Where's the franchise? Because that movie

618
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:22.839
is awesome. I know we had a second, second one.

619
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.359
I'm ready for our fourth, fifth one as soon as

620
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:26.319
they get the third one done.

621
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:30.480
Hell yeah, all right, gentlemen, we're coming off the holidays

622
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.200
just now. We've had some really interesting additions to the

623
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:37.680
holiday ouvra. So what is your favorite holiday movie? Jeff?

624
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.359
A couple of years ago, Max put out eight Bit Christmas,

625
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.400
all about a ten year old trying to get the

626
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.759
ne e s and I say them, what else is

627
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:51.480
it to say? This is this? This was my Christmas?

628
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:53.559
This was this was like my true story.

629
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:57.039
That's perfect narrative. At the NPH two, I I let

630
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:02.000
me some Neil Patrick Harris, so he's fantastic A right, Jason, I.

631
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:04.119
Just watched this one not too long ago, maybe a

632
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:06.640
couple of weeks ago. It's called carry On. To call

633
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:09.359
it a holiday movie is a bit of a stretch.

634
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.400
It's kind of like a die hard type of thing.

635
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.160
So it's not a stretch to call it a holiday movie.

636
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:19.319
We agree, exactly, we agree, that's exactly right, right right.

637
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:20.920
A lot of action.

638
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:21.440
Uh.

639
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.720
It takes place at an airport, you know, on Christmas Day,

640
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.519
I believe, and it's it's it's a lot of fun.

641
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.119
So for me, carry on the.

642
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.079
Tarred Edgerson is I think the protagonist and that in

643
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:39.960
the Villains Jason Bateman, to watch him take a scary turn.

644
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.119
I love I love him as a villain. It doesn't

645
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:44.599
you don't think it's gonna work, and then it works. Great.

646
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:47.200
Jason Bateman is the best part of that movie.

647
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.200
He is, he is, it shouldn't work, and then he

648
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.839
just knocks it out of the park. Yeah, well, I'm

649
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:55.680
gonna agree with you here, Jeff. I had eight Bit

650
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.119
Christmas as well. Uh, that was a sleeper for me.

651
00:33:58.200 --> 00:33:59.839
I didn't see it coming. I just watched it on

652
00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:01.720
a and I was like, holy hell, this is like,

653
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:06.279
this is a modern day Christmas story. It feels you know,

654
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.280
retro and throwback, but also very relatable. And you know,

655
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.800
with that being said, I literally, just like a few

656
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:15.000
days ago, because we're recording a few days after Christmas,

657
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.159
watched Last Christmas or Sorry That Christmas. It was. It

658
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:21.559
was a fun animated film. I enjoyed it. There's been

659
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.880
some good ones this year or this decade, but yeah,

660
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:27.079
I gotta say eight That Christmas. That one's I feel

661
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.079
like that one's gonna stick. That one's gonna last all right.

662
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.880
The next The next one the list is animated movie. Jeff,

663
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:35.320
what do you got for your best animated movie?

664
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:37.800
Well, you've already discussed it. I'm gonna go with Spider

665
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:39.159
Man Across the Spider Verse.

666
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:42.360
Me too, I mean enough said that movie kicked ass.

667
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:46.920
It's it's really hard to talk for sure. This was

668
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.719
a I added this one last minute, and I thought,

669
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:51.840
you know what, this is gonna be an easy category

670
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:55.239
for me. It wasn't. I really struggled. Where I landed

671
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:58.280
was actually a movie. It was really straight streaming called

672
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.960
Mitchell's Versus the Machines. I don't know if you've seen

673
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:05.000
this film. It's so much fun. It is definitely more

674
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:09.400
of a family film, a lot more childish action and humor,

675
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:14.880
good heart, great cast, eminently quotable, which I think a

676
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.360
lot of movies can be. So if you've never seen it,

677
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:20.360
check it out. It's on Netflix, the Mitchell's Versus the Machines.

678
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:26.599
It won several awards for animation. It's fun. It's a

679
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:31.079
little more cartoony than Spider Man, but absolutely worth your time. Next,

680
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:34.440
we're gonna go with the best horror. Now, horror is

681
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:36.519
not my genre, so this was a bit of a

682
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:38.519
stretch for me, But Jason, how about yourself.

683
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:40.679
A little bit of a stretch to call this a

684
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.760
horror movie. But The Invisible Man from twenty twenty was

685
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:48.360
pretty freaking amazing. The effects were incredible in that movie.

686
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:50.519
Yeah. Yeah, basically it's a.

687
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:53.320
Stalker movie, you know, Jason, I was telling.

688
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:55.639
You it's like it's sleeping with the enemy with the

689
00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:56.639
Invisible Man.

690
00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:00.960
That's right, That's right, Yeah, that is That is a

691
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:04.239
very accurate description I did until just now Jeff been

692
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:06.079
nailed it all right.

693
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:07.840
Well, I have sort of two answers for this one,

694
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.280
because the first one feels a little less sooteric and weird.

695
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:12.519
If you guys are into stop motion, there's a film

696
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:15.679
by the name of Mad God. It's very weird, made

697
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.880
by Phil Tippett, who is you know, you might know

698
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:19.320
him as I know him with a lot of the

699
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:23.400
visual animation from Return of the Jedi Dress Park. He

700
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:27.400
made a stop motion and an animated horror film. It's weird.

701
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:29.960
I don't recommend it for everybody, but if you like

702
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:31.880
weird stuff, if you're in a film, I recommend it.

703
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:34.480
But a little more mainstream, I'm gonna go with Alien

704
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:38.800
Romulus We've talked for years, Jeff about my love for

705
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:42.599
Alien and Aliens. I can never let it go. And

706
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:44.920
I was so nervous for this sequel. I was like,

707
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:47.559
it's gonna suck. I was fully prepared for it to suck.

708
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:49.599
I didn't go see it opening day because I was

709
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:51.760
not ready to have my heart broken. And damn, it's

710
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:52.559
a good movie.

711
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:56.320
I'm telling you a movie that takes place in between

712
00:36:56.360 --> 00:37:01.440
the events of Alien and Aliens. Smart You're It's so brilliant,

713
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.039
so brilliantly done, and man, the fear factor is there.

714
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.880
I was gripping the armrest watching this one in the theater.

715
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:12.719
I saw this in Imax and nothing like five foot

716
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:17.079
xenomorphs screen across the screen to really put you on.

717
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:21.480
Edge to a lot of fun in the movie theater.

718
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:25.400
I think they kind of did some good stuff. They

719
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:29.599
grabbed the fear of space that they had in the

720
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:34.679
first Alien movie, combined with the you know, multiple aliens,

721
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.719
you know you're in trouble, You're in a confined space

722
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:39.360
type of thing that you get in two.

723
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.920
So yeah, it's it's that isolation and dread that it's

724
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:46.280
hard to define, but when you nail it, you nail it,

725
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:49.599
and I think they nailed it. I was so happily

726
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.840
surprised on this one. Let's switch tones. What is the

727
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:54.639
funniest movie you guys have seen this decade?

728
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:59.000
I gotta be honest, A lot of the funniest things

729
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.079
I've seen in movies are not in comedies. It's it's

730
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:05.360
different genres that are just packing themselves full of comedy,

731
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:09.800
which is a little disconcerting. But if I'm picking one,

732
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:14.480
I'm gonna go just with the off the rails one,

733
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.760
and it's Cocaine Bear. I was in the theater full

734
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:21.639
of people laughing their asses off at Cocaine Bear, and

735
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.800
it kind of started this subgenre. Now we're getting Cocaine Shark,

736
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:27.400
and we're getting Cocaine this and that. So you know,

737
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:31.000
I believe it's a radio his last film, and he's

738
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:33.159
having a lot of fun in this one. So if

739
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:35.199
you haven't seen Cocaine, I love it. You see it.

740
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:37.880
I love the premise of this one too, because it's

741
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:39.400
like one of those things where it's like based on

742
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:42.519
a true story with like a really big heavy wink

743
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.360
and an asterisk. It's like we heard a funny story

744
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:48.119
and then we just ran with it, so it's a

745
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:53.000
really good time. It was silly, but yeah, great, great choice.

746
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:54.920
So I think it was was that Elizabeth Banks that

747
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.360
directed that one, I believe, so yep, Banks, Yeah, she's fantastic,

748
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.119
So super happy about that, all right, jas.

749
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:02.920
Well, So this was a little tricky because I think

750
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:06.599
comedies kind of took it on the chin really hard

751
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:12.400
from COVID. But I think the funniest movie I saw

752
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:17.280
was Deadpool Versus Wolverine. But yeah, I'm gonna choose kind

753
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:21.159
of an off the rails nostalgic choice because this movie

754
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:24.800
kind of stepped up when nothing was in theaters, there

755
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:27.440
was nothing new to be seen. I'm going to go

756
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:32.159
with Bill and Ted face the music. M It wasn't

757
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.880
the best Bill and Ted entry, but just the fact

758
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:40.159
that it gave us something funny during a very depressing time.

759
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:42.320
I'm gonna mark myself down for that one.

760
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:46.079
I love that choice. I wanted to include that somewhere

761
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:47.760
on my list, and I couldn't find any place for

762
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:51.280
it because, yeah, it doesn't really fit any good category,

763
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:54.960
but I love it. It really does. It was very loving

764
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:58.239
of the originals. It was very fun. Another Kid Cutty

765
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:02.039
film as My Cleveland boy right there. But yeah, it's

766
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:04.280
also got Samorrow Weaving, who I'm just a huge fan of.

767
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:06.320
She should be in everything as far as I'm concerned.

768
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.480
So it was a great movie. I'm really glad it

769
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.840
came out. But yeah, it didn't. It didn't live up

770
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:13.800
to the originals, but it was it was fun. I

771
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:14.639
enjoyed it for sure.

772
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:15.960
It was fun. It was fun.

773
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:19.079
All right. Well, I'm gonna go for my favorite or

774
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:23.800
funniest movie is Barbie. I'm surprised we haven't seen it

775
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:25.960
on the list already. It was. It was really good.

776
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:28.559
It was really smart, but when you boil it down,

777
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.679
it was funny as hell. I laughed out loud several times,

778
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.360
Like there are still quotes in that movie. I say

779
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:36.880
regularly because I just you know, when I when I

780
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:38.840
found out the Patriarchy wasn't all about horses, I just

781
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:40.800
kind of lost interest. Is one of the funniest things

782
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:42.159
I've ever heard said out loud.

783
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.000
Yeah, this is the movie that teaches us all that

784
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:50.159
that work enough, right, you know. I'm glad that you

785
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:52.679
mentioned this one, Andrew. It was actually number eight on

786
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.920
my top ten. It was part of the Barbenheimer event.

787
00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:59.960
It had a really really profound message, I feel, but

788
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:03.119
I was taking in that message, but I was also

789
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:04.840
busy laughing a lot.

790
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.280
Let's get into the film nerd business. What was the

791
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:10.199
best score of the decade.

792
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:13.400
I got to give it up to Robbie Robertson and

793
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:16.239
his score for Killers of the Flower Moon a whole

794
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:18.079
lot going. It was nominated for the Academy Award. It

795
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:19.559
did not win, but it should have.

796
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:22.400
Yeah, daily double for me. I'm going with Jeff on

797
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:23.000
that as well.

798
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:26.519
That was a good choice. That was a strong contender

799
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:29.639
for me. Actually where I landed, though I got a

800
00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:31.960
little bit weird with it. I went with Terrence Blanchard

801
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:37.119
and Five Bloods. The score had this great seventies vibe

802
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.920
with the horns, and they introduced some Marvin Gaye into it,

803
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:43.880
and it really bought me into the story and made

804
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:46.000
me care about these characters and kind of feel like

805
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:50.840
the dichotomy of the time. So Spike Lee, even at

806
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:53.039
his work, Spike Lee's a genius, and I think that

807
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:56.079
the genius really came through in his use of a

808
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:59.039
Blanchard's score into Five Bloods. I still think about it.

809
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:00.920
I don't even think about that. I think about that

810
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.840
score pretty regularly. I just love that. Seventies Vive Cool.

811
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:06.599
We got two more on the list before you get

812
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:10.760
back into our top four. Next most disappointing. What's the

813
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:13.119
biggest letdown you guys experienced this year?

814
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:15.480
Jeff, it pains me to say I had to sit

815
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:20.079
through the entirety of the Crow remake in twenty twenty four.

816
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:22.239
I look, I really wanted to like it. I really

817
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:25.400
had hopes for it. Had a good trailer, but man,

818
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:26.559
was it a dumpster fire?

819
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:28.119
Yeah?

820
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:31.840
You really? If you really want me to lay into it,

821
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:34.400
just listen to our back of the box office episode

822
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:36.800
we did because I was not kind.

823
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:41.360
Yeah, I can usually find things to love. That one's

824
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:44.239
I'll keep my mouth shut on that one.

825
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:46.039
I love that it ended.

826
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:51.599
All right. Well, let's let's move past negativity. We're starting

827
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:54.440
twenty twenty five off on positivity. Let's Jason, what do

828
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:54.880
you got?

829
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:59.960
I hate to be the negative person here, But Indiana, Joe,

830
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:04.760
the dial destiny I thought absolutely sucked. Sucked. I think

831
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:06.760
they Jeff and I did a whole episode on this.

832
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:11.440
I think they missed. They missed the tone. There's no fun.

833
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:15.039
I think Harrison Ford looked old and decrepit. He was

834
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:18.440
not heroic, and it was he had another character who

835
00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:21.199
kind of was the alpha in the story, and I

836
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:25.000
didn't like that. So, I mean, as for as much

837
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:28.280
as I disliked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, they still

838
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:32.000
had Indiana Jones doing Indiana Jones things, and for me,

839
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:36.119
Dial the Destiny was just a complete swinging a mess.

840
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:38.119
Preach brother, coo h preach.

841
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:42.039
I love Harrison Ford and I love Indiana Jones so much.

842
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:44.400
I'm gonna say two good things about Dial of Destiny

843
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:47.000
before I move on. The first of which is the

844
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:51.000
opening scene, the opening World War two like throwback. I

845
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.199
was really nervous about the d aging Harrison Ford. I

846
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:56.280
think that worked great. I actually loved that opening scene.

847
00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:00.239
And two, it made Kingdom of the Crystal Skull look

848
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.400
as bad, which is, hey, that's not nothing, you.

849
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:08.800
Know, Hey, for the sake of positivity, we did get

850
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:11.159
a pretty impressive John Williams score out of that one.

851
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:14.480
Hey, there are things to like about the movie. There

852
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:16.840
are scenes that are worthwhile. You could have salvaged a

853
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.760
good movie out of it. They just unfortunately didn't. Yeah. Yep,

854
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:24.280
all right, Well, my most depressing and this is one

855
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.039
of those instances where I'm going to show how much

856
00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:29.239
younger I am than you two. I loved Space Jam

857
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:32.400
growing up. I loved that movie. I watched it BA

858
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:35.119
jillion times and unfortunately I had to sit through the

859
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:40.239
travesty as a Cleveland Cavaliers fan. That was Space Jam

860
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:47.480
a new legacy. That was horrifying. It was. I was excited.

861
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:48.920
I was like, oh, I can get my kids interested

862
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:50.440
in Space Jam. No, I'm not going to put them

863
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:50.840
through that.

864
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:53.760
That was so bad, I'll call Chod Protective Services on

865
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:54.440
you right now.

866
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:59.239
It was. I regret it. I regret it. I regret

867
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.880
a lot of things about it. I great wasting two

868
00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:04.039
hours of my life on it. So that was that

869
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:05.800
was the thing I was most excited about. And I

870
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:08.000
was even going in with like, it's a kid's movie,

871
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:09.000
I can forgive a lot.

872
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:10.760
No, I was wow.

873
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:15.480
So last one for our rapid fire a round. Who's

874
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.880
the best newcomer who's coming up this decade? You want

875
00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:19.679
to see more out of Jeff.

876
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:23.119
David Johnson And if you if the name does not

877
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:28.039
sound familiar, he played Andy in Alien Romulus. Probably one

878
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:31.519
of the best reasons to see Alien Romulus. This this

879
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:35.159
guy has got a bright future ahead of him. He's

880
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.920
just now hitting the silver screen and I'm looking forward

881
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:38.960
to what he's got coming next.

882
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:42.639
Fantastic. He was fantastic in that. Yeah, And I can't

883
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:44.840
even I honestly can't think of him and anything else.

884
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:48.199
Has he been anything else recently? Or was that really

885
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:49.639
his only major credit?

886
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:51.840
Like he had something something I'd never heard of in

887
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:54.119
twenty twenty three, and then he's got a couple of things.

888
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:56.079
He's a couple of irons in the fire for twenty

889
00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:58.400
twenty five. So the best is you have to come

890
00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.320
for this young man?

891
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.760
Cool? All right, Jason? What do you got so for me?

892
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:06.199
Uh? This guy appeared out of nowhere. He may have

893
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:07.920
done a whole bunch of stuff that I'm just not

894
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.639
familiar with, but he went from somebody I'd never heard

895
00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:14.239
of to somebody who may be the next great, big

896
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:18.360
leading man. And I would say, Glenn Powell.

897
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:21.039
Great, good choice, great choice.

898
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:23.719
I almost had him on my Best of the Decade. Yeah,

899
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:26.599
he's he's he's having a stellar couple of years for sure.

900
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.840
Yeah, he's fantastic, even though he's a Texas Longhorned fan.

901
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:33.039
And I'm going an close sooner I'm choosing to look

902
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:37.079
past that and just uh and and I've really appreciated

903
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:41.519
the number one. He makes fun movies, and he's he's

904
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:43.480
just a great leading man. He could be the next

905
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:43.920
great one.

906
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:47.679
Well let's let's not ignore the fact that he's also

907
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:50.039
the guy that you call when you want to reinvigorate

908
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:54.039
a franchise, because he's in Top Gun, Maverick, he's in Twisters,

909
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.920
he's doing The Running Man with Edgar Wright, he's in

910
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.199
post on that right now. This is the guy like,

911
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.159
if you got if you've got to a stalled franchise,

912
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:05.000
an action franchise, I don't care what the part is,

913
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.079
just give Glenn Powell a part in it and it'll succeed.

914
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:16.199
You got that energy, all right?

915
00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:19.880
We see where Jason's head's at, all right. So I

916
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:22.239
went a slightly different direction with my newcomer. I went

917
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.159
with a director. I went with an Emerald Fennel. So

918
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:27.800
she came onto the scene early this decade with Promising

919
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:32.440
Young Woman, which is a phenomenal film, really fast, and

920
00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:35.559
I was not expecting that one. And then last year

921
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:37.760
she came up with Saltburn, which is another one that

922
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:40.679
I almost didn't see I'm so glad I snuck by.

923
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:43.639
It's they're both amazing. I'm excited to see what she's

924
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:45.440
going to do next because I feel like she's really

925
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:48.440
going to take these stories that on the surface could

926
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:51.679
just be absolute schlock and making them something really really

927
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:55.519
interesting and something really really cool. So her name's Emerald Fennel.

928
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.440
Check her out. Whatever she's putting out next, I guarantee

929
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:00.920
it's going to be amazing. All Right, we let's take

930
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:03.360
a quick break before we come back. We're gonna drop

931
00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:06.719
into the final four of our top ten and this

932
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:12.480
is where it gets really good. All Right, we are

933
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:15.400
now in the home stretch where it really means business.

934
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:18.280
We're gonna get into the final four of our top

935
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:20.920
ten list. This next one, I'm really excited, was on

936
00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:23.119
this list. I was nervous it wasn't gonna make it.

937
00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:26.159
It made it high on my list, and that is

938
00:48:26.679 --> 00:48:31.480
Takiyashi Yamazaki's Godzilla minus one. And I tried to learn

939
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:34.320
how to say this in Japanese. Turns out they actually

940
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:38.039
just pronounce it like we do it, because you minus one. Yeah,

941
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:42.639
they specifically say it like in the American pronunciation. So

942
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:48.119
this movie was so good this movie was. Godzilla has

943
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:51.559
been such a stalled franchise franchise for decades, and I

944
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:54.440
think this reinvigorated it. It was so cool, so much fun.

945
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:58.840
Is the budget was ten million, and there's no confirmed number.

946
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:03.039
I've heard as high ast fear, but the directors once said,

947
00:49:03.519 --> 00:49:06.400
you know you did this on fifteen million. They laughed

948
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.880
and said, oh, we wish we had fifteen So the

949
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:12.199
special effects and everything, we're incredible. This is also the

950
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.320
highest return on investment of all the movies on any

951
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:18.639
of our lists. It made one hundred and sixteen million

952
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:21.760
on a ten million dollar budget, so that's really really impressive.

953
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:22.960
What do you guys think of this one?

954
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:27.119
Saw this one on on the big screen, and I

955
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:31.400
gotta tell you it might be the best Godzilla film.

956
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:34.719
And that's I know that's saying a lot with how

957
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:38.519
many movies we've gotten this this franchise, but some of

958
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:42.480
the most compelling storytelling you're going to see definitely in

959
00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:45.800
a Godzilla movie, if not any movie. And the fact

960
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:49.559
that this is the movie before fifty four is Godzilla,

961
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:54.079
it just makes it such a perfect story. I love

962
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:55.960
this one, and to see it in black and white

963
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:56.880
with the subtitles.

964
00:49:57.639 --> 00:49:58.079
Perfect.

965
00:49:58.280 --> 00:49:59.000
It's just perfect.

966
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:02.320
Okay, well, I guess I need to go watch this one.

967
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:07.679
I'm not seeing this one. Wow, this one, this hits

968
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:08.400
so hard.

969
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:11.000
And what they did that I think so many other

970
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:14.679
ones miss is It's a personal story. It's a human story.

971
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:18.920
Godzilla is happening, but he's not the hero. He's not

972
00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:21.920
like the protagonists. It is about human beings on the

973
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:27.400
ground dealing with stuff, and it lands so often. It

974
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:32.960
does a cool way of balancing personal storylines and historical

975
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:36.400
storylines of like, you know, Japanese pilots coming home from

976
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:40.079
World War Two, you know, trying to deal with the

977
00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:43.320
aftermath of living in Japan post World War Two, but

978
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.800
also in a way that's very relatable. It's so good,

979
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:49.119
and I remember there was a moment I was watching

980
00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:52.559
it in the theater where there's a scene of tanks

981
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:57.519
shooting at Godzilla, and the special effects are not good

982
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:00.800
in this scene. They are like two thousand and two

983
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:05.280
cut scene from a video game quality CGI. But the

984
00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:09.639
directors shows pick and chose their battles very well, so

985
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:13.039
it doesn't detract from the filmmaking at all. You understand. Okay,

986
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:15.719
they did this on a shoestring budget and they still

987
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:18.159
told this amazing story and I'm still one hundred percent

988
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:20.440
bought in, and that just really resonated with me. It's like,

989
00:51:20.960 --> 00:51:24.840
you could spend billions on great CGI from amazing places,

990
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:27.679
but if your story sucks, it sucks. In this case,

991
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:29.320
they went, well, we don't have the budget, but if

992
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:31.239
we tell a good story, it's okay that the CGI

993
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:33.880
is gonna be lacking in places. And I think that

994
00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:34.639
that's so cool.

995
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:37.599
This is time for me to forgive Matthew Broderick for

996
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:38.800
the ninety eight version.

997
00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:43.000
Nope, nope, nope. That we can still hate Matthew Brodrick

998
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:43.280
for that.

999
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:43.920
We can.

1000
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:46.480
We can. We can take court with the the Emmericks

1001
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.039
and everyone else. That's that one's unforgivable.

1002
00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:54.079
Matthew Brodrick didn't kill Godzilla. He killed a giant lizard.

1003
00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:54.880
That's unreligated.

1004
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:56.440
Yeah, exactly.

1005
00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:00.480
All right, Well we're gonna move in to the number

1006
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:04.239
three spot. I was so excited to see this place

1007
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:06.559
so highly. I thought this is gonna be one of

1008
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:08.519
those ones that dropped off and nobody cared about. But

1009
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:12.119
it was on so many lists. This is Alexander Paines

1010
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:16.159
The Holdovers. Starring Paul Giammotty. This came out October twenty seventh,

1011
00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:19.679
twenty twenty three. It was on a budget of thirteen

1012
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.039
million and made forty five point six million.

1013
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:22.679
Uh.

1014
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.199
It is so good. It is filmed in the style

1015
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.360
of a seventies film, both in the way it's shot,

1016
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:34.559
the way everybody's dressed, that the cameras used. It is

1017
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:38.079
a really interesting choice. And I remember seeing it thinking

1018
00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:40.400
that's not gonna work. That's going to feel out of touch,

1019
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:43.280
and it doesn't. It's it hits, it hits hard, and

1020
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:46.400
Paul Jamoty's performance is great in it. Have you guys

1021
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:47.239
seen this one.

1022
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:52.119
Seen it and loved it. I'm actually happy not only

1023
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:55.199
to see it on the you know, on a list here,

1024
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.679
but the see it listed so highly. You know, if

1025
00:52:57.679 --> 00:52:59.679
you if you're looking at the trend, that's that's that's

1026
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:03.199
hitting this this top ten list. Uh, it's definitely. You know,

1027
00:53:03.199 --> 00:53:05.079
We've got a lot of a lot of popcorn movies,

1028
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.559
a lot of a lot of superhero fan fair type stuff.

1029
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:09.760
So I feel like this movie kind of gives a

1030
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:12.000
little gives this this a little a little bit of gravitas.

1031
00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:15.519
I always thought it would be difficult for Paul Giamatti

1032
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:19.280
to find a role better than what he did in Sideways,

1033
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:22.440
but he he does it. He does it big time here.

1034
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.800
It's fantastic film. You could call it a holiday movie,

1035
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:27.400
you could call it a Christmas movie, you could call it,

1036
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:29.920
call what you want. It's it's just fantastic.

1037
00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:30.719
Yeah.

1038
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:34.320
I consider this for my holiday best of It doesn't

1039
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:36.920
feel like a holiday movie. Like there's a strong argument

1040
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:38.920
for it. I'm not going to be one to to,

1041
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:40.679
you know, tell anybody that a movie is not a

1042
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:43.280
holiday movie. But this feels like something else, you know,

1043
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:45.800
a lot of the way the Shane Black movies we've

1044
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:49.000
talked about. It's it takes place Christmas, and it benefits

1045
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.280
from its Christmas storyline.

1046
00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.320
But it's not that I haven't seen it, so I

1047
00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:56.000
don't know. I don't know anything about it. So this one,

1048
00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:58.159
I don't even know what it's about.

1049
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:00.920
So I don't mean to spoil the story for anybody.

1050
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:04.719
But what I will say about this is Alexander Payne

1051
00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:08.400
captures the same energy he did in Sideways, which is

1052
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:11.079
to say that if I were to describe the plot

1053
00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:13.719
to you or anything that happens in it, it's very boring.

1054
00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:17.639
It's very mundane, it's uninteresting, but he tells it in

1055
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:21.280
such a way that really you can't look away and

1056
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:25.639
you can't refrain from seeing the emotional impacts of it's

1057
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:28.599
It's a very boring story told so well that it

1058
00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:32.239
can't help but be great. All right, here's the number

1059
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:37.119
two spot. This one got so many votes, it was

1060
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:41.840
close to being our number one, but it is. Matt

1061
00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:46.280
Reeves The Batman, released March fourth, twenty twenty two. This

1062
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:49.599
is another one that just absolutely performed despite all the

1063
00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:52.800
Batman's we've had. It's two hundred million dollar budget, produced

1064
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:56.239
seven hundred and seventy two million dollar box office. We're

1065
00:54:56.280 --> 00:54:59.599
probably getting a sequel. We've got, you know, a new

1066
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:02.320
villain lined up. We've got a whole new generation of Batman.

1067
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:03.800
It seems what are you guys thoughts?

1068
00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:08.880
Well, first and foremost, I love this film. But am

1069
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:12.000
I the only one surprised that it was so high

1070
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:16.639
on this list? I personally, I was like, you know,

1071
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:18.360
when we were doing this a couple weeks ago, I

1072
00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:20.360
was like, you know, it'd be nice if we could

1073
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:22.800
make the top ten. It probably won't, but you know,

1074
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:25.320
oh well, you know it'd probably make like nine eight

1075
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:29.079
like the number two overalls as chosen by the listeners.

1076
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:35.639
Definitely surprises me. Pattinson is a great Batman, a relatable Batman,

1077
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:39.880
realistic batman. I will say this about the Batmobile, and

1078
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:42.760
I know everyone has their favorite over the over the decades,

1079
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:46.480
but this is the meanest batmobile that we've ever seen

1080
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:48.960
on screen. I mean, I got it. I kind of

1081
00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:51.320
got some chills when when it fires up, it's like

1082
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:54.920
a beast. It's scary. This this movie fantastic film.

1083
00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:58.079
Yeah, I mean this is again, this is what you

1084
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:01.800
go to the movies to see, right, Incredible story, awesome

1085
00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:05.800
special effects. I love the fact that they sort of

1086
00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:11.119
combined Batman eighty nine with the movie seven. Right. Yes,

1087
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:15.840
so they added real threat and like real menace to

1088
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.119
the storyline. Jack Nicholson's great, but you don't ever really

1089
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:23.800
fear fear him too much, you know what I mean. So, no,

1090
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:27.679
he's he's cartoony, he's cartoony. But this one is like

1091
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:32.360
the Riddler is, you know, scary and crazy and has

1092
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:33.199
real menace to him.

1093
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:37.119
So I thought it was vibes for sure. Yeah, I

1094
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:39.239
like this one. I think, you know, to your point,

1095
00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:41.320
Jeff I was surprised to see this high in the list.

1096
00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:44.119
I think I may be experiencing a bit of Batman fatigue.

1097
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:47.679
You know, we just recently the other day talked about

1098
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:52.440
Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer and you know, all that fantastic

1099
00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:56.559
performances in Batman Returns, and I feel like, that's more

1100
00:56:56.639 --> 00:56:59.039
my my wheelhouse. I love it when it's a little

1101
00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:00.760
bit silly, it's a little bit kitchy, it' a little

1102
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:03.519
bit cartoony, and it plays in that space. So I'm

1103
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:06.519
not gonna despair this movie anyway. It was fantastic. Matt

1104
00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:08.840
Reeves is an amazing director, and I'm excited to see

1105
00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:10.800
what they do with it. I think I might have

1106
00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:12.880
just not been in the right space. I'm like, all right,

1107
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:15.239
we've seen dark and gritty, give me something else, you know.

1108
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:19.719
But hey, I'm happy to be proven wrong. Matt Reeves,

1109
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:21.880
you got you got a sequel in the works. Barry

1110
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:25.159
Coogan's that's weird. Let's see him as a joker.

1111
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:28.159
That's That's one way of saying it's in the works.

1112
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:30.840
They just they just announced it's been pushed back an

1113
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:36.519
entire year again, so I think they're going to start

1114
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:39.119
I think they're gonna start filming it maybe in twenty

1115
00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:44.119
twenty six, so you know, Pattinson's even Pattinson's even made

1116
00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:46.440
the joke that he's hoping to get it done before

1117
00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:50.840
he retires. I have I have mixed feelings because I'm like,

1118
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:53.880
I'm like everybody else, come on, but it's been it's

1119
00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:56.960
been years. Let's get give us the next movie. But

1120
00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:59.760
I have to respect James Gunn because he he's in

1121
00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:04.039
charge now dc uh. And he's basically said, until the

1122
00:58:04.119 --> 00:58:06.320
script is locked and we've got a a A good,

1123
00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:08.519
a great script, we're not we're not moving forward.

1124
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:15.119
I respect that, right, the amount of kind of movies

1125
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:17.599
we've gotten because they were just rushing it where the

1126
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:21.239
effects are awful or the script is clearly needs a

1127
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.280
couple of rewrites. Uh, you know what, I'd rather be patient.

1128
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:26.360
So I the fact that he's in charge, and I

1129
00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:30.480
do trust James Gunn for the most part. And you know, again,

1130
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:33.480
I think Matt Reeves is a phenomenal director. I'm interested

1131
00:58:33.480 --> 00:58:36.280
to see where it goes. We'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic.

1132
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:39.280
Good point, he all right, patience is the way to go.

1133
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:42.599
Yeah, for sure, Well that brings us down to it.

1134
00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:44.360
We are down to our number one spot. But before

1135
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:47.920
we do, what do you think should have been on

1136
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:51.880
this list but isn't. What are your honorable mentions? What

1137
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.440
do you think? Are you upset to not see here?

1138
00:58:55.239 --> 00:58:58.960
I'm upset to not see my number one movie on

1139
00:58:59.320 --> 00:59:03.280
my list. Andrew, you mentioned the filmmaker, you mentioned the actor,

1140
00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:07.559
you mentioned the movie. I'm talking about Saltburn from twenty

1141
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:14.119
twenty three. This movie was just deliciously wicked. It has

1142
00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:18.719
some of the most graphically shocking moments I've seen in

1143
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:22.840
a movie in the last ten twenty years. And to

1144
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:24.559
see a movie and I don't want to spoil it

1145
00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:28.239
for anybody, but to see a situation where you're rooting

1146
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:31.960
for the villain. Yeah, that's the best way I can

1147
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:35.400
explain it. I you know what, I'm not gonna say

1148
00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:36.679
another word because I just I don't want to spoil

1149
00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:39.559
it for anyone. But man, this is I call this

1150
00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:41.320
one I must watch it is.

1151
00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:43.559
It's one of those movies it's hard to describe without

1152
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:45.599
giving stuff away. Like I don't want to say anything

1153
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:47.800
because I feel like anything I say is gonna spoil it.

1154
00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:50.760
But yeah, it's it's good. It's weird and it's new,

1155
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:52.920
and it's engaging, but it's good.

1156
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:55.880
I was told you need to see this what's and

1157
00:59:55.920 --> 00:59:57.800
I said, what's it about? I can't tell you, you just

1158
00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:00.159
need to watch it. I went in blind. I went

1159
01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:01.559
in blind on this one, and it was just like

1160
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:04.719
picking my jaw up off the floor several times.

1161
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:08.599
Wow yeah, well said all right, Jason, what do you got.

1162
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:10.239
What's your honorable mention?

1163
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.559
Well, I've got a couple. I just want to throw

1164
01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:17.280
these out there. I thought The fall Guy was terrific fun.

1165
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:19.239
I don't know if it's a top ten movie in

1166
01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:21.719
the past five years, but sure was fun and I

1167
01:00:21.719 --> 01:00:24.440
would definitely recommend it to anybody who hasn't seen it.

1168
01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:27.800
And people may roll their eyes, but I thought Avatar

1169
01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:31.920
of the Way of Water was amazing as a sequel

1170
01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:35.320
to a movie that I thought was amazing. People are

1171
01:00:35.639 --> 01:00:37.800
just kind of used to the Blue people, and I

1172
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:40.920
just think that one kind of gets overlooked. But that

1173
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:44.440
was an incredible movie, I thought. But for me, my

1174
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:48.239
movie that should have been in the top ten that

1175
01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:53.199
didn't make it is the Sound of Freedom. It's not

1176
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:57.639
a pleasant story and certainly not one that was a

1177
01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:00.880
lot of fun, but it had an important message. I

1178
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:04.960
thought it was. I thought it was gripping and unsettling.

1179
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:07.480
Yeah, I'll give you that. It was very unsettling. I

1180
01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:11.239
think that it was surprising to me because I think

1181
01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:15.039
it was packaged as this very political film. That's at

1182
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:16.719
least the way it was advertised. That's the way it

1183
01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:18.320
was marketed. And then when I watched it, I was like, no,

1184
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:20.679
it's just it's just a good movie. Like it's like

1185
01:01:20.719 --> 01:01:23.039
you said, it's unsettling. It's it's definitely intense, it's definitely

1186
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:27.079
hits hard, but it's not political. It's just this is

1187
01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:29.360
this is a serious thing that serious people dealing with.

1188
01:01:29.719 --> 01:01:32.039
I Jeff and I have talked about this in the past.

1189
01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:34.960
I'm I'm a stickler when it comes to movies based

1190
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:36.960
on a true story about them staying true to this

1191
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:39.239
true story. So you know, I can I can get

1192
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:43.239
nitpicky there, but that's that's a whole other thing. But yeah, no,

1193
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:46.639
it was. It was a surprisingly good movie. I I

1194
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:49.840
probably wouldn't put Avatar or fall Guy high on my list,

1195
01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:51.760
although I did enjoy Fall Guy. I was surprised he

1196
01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:54.360
didn't pop up even once on our list. Nobody put

1197
01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:56.239
that in there, which was a little surprising to me.

1198
01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:59.960
Sound of Freedom and Avatar both made somebody's list somewhere another.

1199
01:02:01.039 --> 01:02:03.920
But yeah, Falky was actually surprisingly good. I think Ryan

1200
01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:07.079
Gosling doesn't get enough credit for his humor and his

1201
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:08.800
community timing, because dude's funny.

1202
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:11.639
You know one other movie that I think just needs

1203
01:02:11.679 --> 01:02:15.360
to be mentioned. It was disappointing for me and maybe others,

1204
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:18.960
but it was built up to be this great thing

1205
01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:21.639
and we were all excited for it and it fell flat.

1206
01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:26.440
Was when Michael Keaton came back as Batman and had

1207
01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:31.000
the crossover. That was such a letdown.

1208
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:33.599
That could have been on the Biggest Letdowns list.

1209
01:02:33.639 --> 01:02:37.199
That was wrong, right, I mean we were all frigging pumped.

1210
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:40.440
I mean, Keaton back is Batman will sign us up?

1211
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:45.039
He's look, I look, I was excited about Keaton being back.

1212
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:48.000
I was definitely pumped up for this movie, and I

1213
01:02:48.199 --> 01:02:50.519
got my money's worth. I don't care what you both say.

1214
01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:52.119
I loved it. Thought that was fun movie.

1215
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:56.679
It was. It wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. It's just

1216
01:02:56.760 --> 01:03:01.280
not it wasn't Keaton, you know anyway? Yeah, all right,

1217
01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:04.199
so I had I had one I was very confident

1218
01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:06.400
about it. I was gonna say it, and then one

1219
01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:09.199
occurred to me right before we started recording. So I'm

1220
01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:11.119
gonna break my own rules here and give you two.

1221
01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:14.400
The first of which is Poor Things, which was a

1222
01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:18.840
very weird movie. It it's either gonna you're gonna love it,

1223
01:03:18.840 --> 01:03:21.360
you're gonna hate it. They made some really interesting choices

1224
01:03:21.440 --> 01:03:25.840
with it. If that hits for you, it's so fascinating

1225
01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:30.159
and so funny and so great. If it doesn't hit

1226
01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:31.400
for you, you're gonna be like, what the hell am

1227
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:33.639
I doing watching this? So it is. It is a

1228
01:03:33.719 --> 01:03:36.480
very out there choice, but I love when a director

1229
01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:39.239
makes some some bold choices. The other one that I'm

1230
01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:43.119
gonna say, though, is American Fiction, which this is one

1231
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:45.079
of those ones that flew under the radar. I think

1232
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:48.440
it would have been huge if more people saw it.

1233
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:51.280
It's a story about Jeffrey Wright. He's an author, a

1234
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:55.079
college educated author, a black author, who specifically is writing

1235
01:03:55.119 --> 01:03:56.679
all these great books about what it's like to be

1236
01:03:56.719 --> 01:03:59.880
black in America, and nobody's buying them, nobody cares, and

1237
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:04.559
so he, as a joke, writes this story of like stereotypical,

1238
01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:07.920
over the top blackness, like everybody's a gangster or a

1239
01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:11.679
rap artist, and it's just like terrible, and he means

1240
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:13.920
it as a goof, and everybody eats it up as

1241
01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:15.639
this like Oscar bait and wants to make it into

1242
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:19.320
a movie. It's very insightful, but it's also very funny,

1243
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:22.159
and it's very silly, but very smart and real made.

1244
01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:25.320
I'm shocked this movie didn't do better than it did.

1245
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:27.440
It blew me away when I saw it, So I

1246
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:30.840
highly recommend it to everybody's called American fiction strnging Jeffrey Wright,

1247
01:04:31.079 --> 01:04:34.360
please go see it. So funny, such a good time,

1248
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:37.719
and and and again. I love a good humor where

1249
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:40.920
it can be both silly and absurdist and also very intelligent.

1250
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:43.400
And this threads that needle perfectly well.

1251
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:45.599
You know, since everyone's just gonna Scott Hoffman all over

1252
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.760
this this and take take more than one pick. I'm

1253
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:52.280
gonna see I'm gonna sneak one pick more one last

1254
01:04:52.280 --> 01:04:57.280
pick in here twenty twenty two's the Whale A twenty

1255
01:04:57.280 --> 01:05:00.280
four is doing phenomenal work. They're the ones behind Civil War.

1256
01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:04.480
But Brendan Fraser back in the spotlight for his performance

1257
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:09.880
in this film. It will move you. It will impact you.

1258
01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:13.639
And if you haven't seen him in this movie, you're

1259
01:05:13.639 --> 01:05:15.400
missing out. That's all I'll say.

1260
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:17.119
I mean, Jeff, I'm glad you said that, because I

1261
01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:19.400
was weird that it didn't make the list. If A

1262
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:22.239
twenty four makes a movie, it's great. They really don't

1263
01:05:22.239 --> 01:05:25.679
put out bad stuff, so they they. If we're gonna

1264
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:28.880
say a film studio is having the decade, it's a

1265
01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:33.559
twenty four. They don't make bad films. But that brings

1266
01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:37.000
us to our number one spot best film of the

1267
01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:42.079
twenty twenties. And before I do one last thing, who's

1268
01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:44.119
the better host? You or me?

1269
01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:46.760
We're having a nice moment here. Let's not ruin it.

1270
01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:54.199
All right? That means our number one spot as a

1271
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:58.159
shock to probably none of us is top Gun Maverick

1272
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:03.039
this movie. I don't think we could have had enough

1273
01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:07.880
hopes for it. It exceeded them. I was cautiously optimistic,

1274
01:06:07.920 --> 01:06:10.880
and it blew me away. This is directed by Jojose

1275
01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:13.559
Stiff Kaczynski. I at least May twenty seventh to twenty

1276
01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:15.960
twenty two on one hundred and seventy million dollar budget.

1277
01:06:15.960 --> 01:06:18.960
It made one and a half billion dollars with a

1278
01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:23.039
b This is a sequel clearly to the nineteen eighty

1279
01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:27.679
six classic and couldn't have done better. As far as

1280
01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:30.239
I'm concerned, I'd never heard anybody say anything bad about

1281
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:32.880
this movie, So I want to hear what are you

1282
01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:34.360
guys thoughts? How do you feel about this making the

1283
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:35.199
number one spot?

1284
01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:38.119
I tell Jeff, I'm like, if this is not in

1285
01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:41.400
your number one or number two spot, then you're not

1286
01:06:41.440 --> 01:06:46.239
doing the list right. It is clearly, it's clearly the

1287
01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.840
most important movie of the past five years. Now it

1288
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:51.559
can be argued whether or not it was the best,

1289
01:06:52.440 --> 01:06:55.639
but I would just say people loved it. They got

1290
01:06:55.639 --> 01:06:58.679
their buds back to the movie theaters. Tom Cruise is

1291
01:06:58.719 --> 01:07:01.840
great at his job, as we've said, and it was

1292
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:09.559
a blast to go back have Maverick Ice, Maan val Kilmer, you.

1293
01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:13.159
Know, Oh having him back was so was so cool.

1294
01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:18.360
So the computer generated voice, yeah, it was amazing. And

1295
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:21.119
Goose's son and all this stuff, and there's just tons

1296
01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:24.440
of fun and he had danger Zone. It was everything

1297
01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:27.960
that you want in a movie. And everybody saw it.

1298
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:30.559
We had a moment and it it blew our socks off. Clutch.

1299
01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:34.239
Yeah, you're right, Jason, you can debate whether it's the

1300
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:38.559
best movie of the decade, but you cannot debate that

1301
01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:42.280
it saved the box office. It brought people back to

1302
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:46.880
the movies. And I feel like when Hollywood got together

1303
01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:50.519
and said, we need something right now, or we're going

1304
01:07:50.599 --> 01:07:53.440
to be extinct. Tom Cruise walked in the door and said, listen,

1305
01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:57.599
you need Tom Cruise. You need Tom Cruise action, you

1306
01:07:57.599 --> 01:08:01.079
need nostalgia. Hey, here's that new Glenn pal Let's get

1307
01:08:01.119 --> 01:08:03.440
him over here, right. You need danger Zone.

1308
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:05.880
Miles Teller's hot right now, Miles telling.

1309
01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:07.920
Miles Teller's in the gym, he's got he's got a

1310
01:08:07.920 --> 01:08:09.880
six pack. Get him on get him on board. And

1311
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:13.599
let's not forget the smoke show that is Jennifer Conley

1312
01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:18.239
aging like a fine wine that you cannot afford. Uh

1313
01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:19.520
it's top shelf bottle.

1314
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:24.119
Sorry, guys, this movie it checks all the boxes.

1315
01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:27.159
When I heard it was getting made, I thought, Okay,

1316
01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:30.319
just another legacy sequel, it'll be all right. You know,

1317
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:33.399
I'm thinking Ghostbusters after Life and that sort of thing

1318
01:08:33.399 --> 01:08:36.479
where it's like, I'll watch it, it'll be fine whatever.

1319
01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:37.439
Uh.

1320
01:08:37.520 --> 01:08:40.439
Yeah, it just it absolutely blew the doors off. And

1321
01:08:41.399 --> 01:08:43.960
Jason you I think you summed it up perfectly, and

1322
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:47.520
you said we all had a moment like everybody, you know,

1323
01:08:47.800 --> 01:08:50.800
anybody who had had ever seen the original, anybody who

1324
01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:53.640
had been alive through the eighties and nineties, Like when

1325
01:08:53.640 --> 01:08:56.840
they watched that, they were like, oh shit, movies can

1326
01:08:56.880 --> 01:09:00.119
still do that. Yeah, And so I'm so excited to

1327
01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:02.880
see it. I think Top Gun had been around. It's

1328
01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:06.079
such a staple. It was a really bold move to

1329
01:09:06.119 --> 01:09:08.800
make a sequel. You know, you can you can risk

1330
01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:12.399
boiling the original, you can risk making it a parody

1331
01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:16.920
of itself. And they didn't. They honored it, and they

1332
01:09:17.319 --> 01:09:21.000
found the emotional heart of it. Like I, you know,

1333
01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:23.840
my son, he's about to turn three. I call him Goose.

1334
01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:26.199
You know, it started because I was calling him silly goose,

1335
01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:28.439
and it's kind of elevated. But now like he'll be

1336
01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:29.600
in the back of the car and I'll just yell,

1337
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:31.359
talk to me Goose when he's you know, he's getting

1338
01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:35.560
worked up to this day. So like, this movie has

1339
01:09:35.720 --> 01:09:37.760
and will have an impact on people. And to be

1340
01:09:37.760 --> 01:09:40.520
able to do a sequel that did it justice. Yeah,

1341
01:09:40.600 --> 01:09:42.560
it would have blown my mind if this wasn't at

1342
01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:44.439
least Top three, let alone Top one.

1343
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:46.079
Yeah, it's the top gun.

1344
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:51.479
And I will say I want to point this out.

1345
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:53.840
You know, I mentioned we had some tie breakers, we

1346
01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:56.920
had some close calls. This movie was far and away

1347
01:09:57.079 --> 01:10:00.199
the number one. It wasn't close. Nothing came close to it.

1348
01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:03.239
So if anybody's surprised to see us in the number

1349
01:10:03.279 --> 01:10:07.680
one spot, maybe check your pulse. All right, Well, that

1350
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:10.520
about does it. I want to say again, Happy New

1351
01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:13.359
Year to you guys. I'm so excited. We are halfway

1352
01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:15.439
through the decade and I think that we are seeing

1353
01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:18.359
some mool and exciting stuff in film, and I'm excited

1354
01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:20.319
to hear you guys talk about it. I'm excited to

1355
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:23.159
talk about it with you guys. We would love to

1356
01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:25.720
hear what you guys think, though, Let us know. Let

1357
01:10:25.760 --> 01:10:27.880
us know what you guys think of the lists you've heard today.

1358
01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:31.600
What's on the list that you were surprised by? What

1359
01:10:31.640 --> 01:10:33.800
do you want to see that we didn't talk about?

1360
01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:36.840
Jason on a sure that you can't be serious? What

1361
01:10:36.880 --> 01:10:38.319
can we expect to hear from you guys in the

1362
01:10:38.359 --> 01:10:38.760
new year.

1363
01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:43.359
We are diving into the year nineteen eighty five this year,

1364
01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:46.079
which will be forty years ago, so we're going to

1365
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:48.279
be talking about the Goonies. We're going to be talking

1366
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:52.479
about Phil Collins no jacket required. We're going to talk

1367
01:10:52.479 --> 01:10:56.880
about Brothers and Arms by Dire Straits this summer, We're

1368
01:10:56.920 --> 01:10:59.399
going to talk about Rambo and Commando and compare those

1369
01:10:59.439 --> 01:11:02.800
two actions in movies. And then what I think maybe

1370
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:06.520
our temple episode of the year, We're gonna compare Jimmy

1371
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:10.159
Buffett's Greatest Hits It Saw As You Know by Heart

1372
01:11:10.279 --> 01:11:14.479
versus the greatest selling album of all time Eagles Greatest

1373
01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:15.319
Hits Volume one.

1374
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:21.000
Ooh, I I I was pushing our good friend Dayton

1375
01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:24.399
to do a Jimmy Buffett episode for a while after

1376
01:11:24.439 --> 01:11:27.680
he passed. I'm a big Jimmy Buffet fan, so I'm

1377
01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:29.359
I'm gonna be excited for that one.

1378
01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:34.720
Well, Jason, I I definitely want to thank you. Also, Andrew,

1379
01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:38.279
I gotta thank you. It's it's nice to see someone

1380
01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:41.359
else in the driver's seat for a change. We put

1381
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:44.039
out a survey a couple of weeks ago asking people

1382
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:46.199
what they wanted more of or what they wanted us

1383
01:11:46.239 --> 01:11:51.119
to try, and no surprise here, but people wanted wanted

1384
01:11:51.119 --> 01:11:53.479

1387
01:11:58.359 --> 01:12:01.239
lot more involved. What can we expect? Like what you know,

1388
01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:03.359

lot of like great movies today, but the one that

1392
01:12:12.840 --> 01:12:15.359
sticks out to me was everything everywhere, all at once.

1393
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:17.039
You know, I talked about my love for Key he

1394
