Episode 219 - Hooey Hooey Hooooo

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, hey everybody, hey everybody, go flix yourself Hey everybody, it's another episode of Go Flix Yourself My name is Ben Conowitz and with me as always is the inatech to my ACME Corporation Bradford Oman Hey, that's me Okay And the Wayland Corporation to my ACME Corporation

[00:00:36] Nate Laughes No idea what this was, I'm reference to No Wayland Utani Industries Instead of Corporation maybe? For what? Alien, Nate Oh dear God Yeah but it's Wayland Utani isn't it? Well I mean that's the full name but I think a lot of times it's Wayland

[00:00:52] Why are we going back to this film? You made me watch it, I did my jam He did fictional corporations Yeah and ACME is like the one that I love And Inatech is from Office Space Office Space which is also a bad company

[00:01:07] Well the company is not bad, the people at it are bad That's what makes it a bad company We don't know if the company is bad or not, it could be a great company They give them all, it's a non-profit, they're building wells across the world

[00:01:18] Helping homeless people And they just got shit in place Hey Peter man check out channel 9, check it looks like a hand So fresh from my day job of doing the drywall at the New McDonald's This is Go Flix Yourself where we talk about the latest movies we've seen

[00:01:33] Talk about some trailers and play a game if somebody wrote one Eh? Maybe Oh maybe it's a game And every episode we start with my least favorite part It's always something stupid but today is a great day Don't call Nate's takes on movies stupid No no

[00:01:54] You're still mad by the way about our past podcast Our 10 to 1 podcast For some reason Brad thinks that Nate had hot takes on Night at the Rocksbury being a bad movie I didn't say hot takes, I just said that they were bad

[00:02:06] Night at the Rocksbury is a freaking fantastic film And I'm like it's not a good film I was just surprised that Brad did two things He did a Bill Cosby impression out of nowhere Hold on to be clear it was a voice to indicate that Ben was stupid

[00:02:19] And it happened to sound a bit like Bill Cosby It sounded exactly like you were doing Bill Cosby We'll let the audience judge you been workshopping that Because if I'm over here going like oh I said something stupid And he's like no Ben, I'm Ben

[00:02:32] I said something stupid like what are you doing I was doing my Ben a stupid voice Get opening box Ben stupid Yeah there you go But this is my favorite part of the podcast now because I have taken over the sponsor What? I went ahead

[00:02:49] He's digging into blanket I'm really worried about what He's gonna get into his like fuzzy pocket You're giving us hairy fruits oh He brought a ziplock bag You got ziplock bags You hate it when he brings it I had to do it this way though

[00:03:05] Because all the individual snack bags These are rocks I brought rocks Then you're gonna chip your teeth See motherfucker You like that They're vaguely sticky Go ahead Go ahead and put those in your mouth It's just a ziplock bag full of two snacks each

[00:03:25] Because it was hard to find I don't like the texture Just eat it They're gushers What kind of gushers? Are they grape gushers? Where'd you get them? Amazon on Canada They were $15 for a variety pack This box right here in front of me Nice Six pouches

[00:03:49] So you plucked the grape ones It's a variety pack Hold on this box is empty Did you eat all the rest of the gushers? There's only six packages in there I had an empty mall I had empty mall And there was only six gushers in each pack

[00:04:06] And there's one grape in each pack I gave you two and you got two and then I ate two I see some orange ones in there though These are for me These are my gushers So thank you Canadian gushers For bringing back grape What do you think?

[00:04:22] I've always loved gushers Thank you to the Gushers family Actually right now Thanks Paul Gushers Gushers also they just Re-released They have a pack that has both watermelon And sour apple in them And I love the watermelon Gushers so those are very good

[00:04:42] What do you like most about gushing? The way it gooses in your mouth Don't you like when like a fruit snack just gooses In your mouth? I just like when it pops off in my mouth Like a bunch of warm liquid

[00:04:54] Yeah it's just like a nice burst of goop I like a good goo shoot in my throat What's your favorite gushers memory? It's a topic for a different time I know what Brad says Goflix yourself After dark Goflix yourself after dark starring Brad Omen Ooh, gushers That's funny

[00:05:21] Those were really bad What's your favorite Gushers memory Brad? I had a sponsor That was one of the sponsors you got from Canada When you went on your trip But now I guess I'll save him for the next episode Well we did it

[00:05:35] He got milk before he came down though I did yeah so Is the milk still sitting over there? No no I got it today No but the milk is over there Did you pour yourself a glass of milk? And he was gonna have a drink

[00:05:49] We recorded another podcast already It's still ice cold Hey oh my gosh It's still very cold It really is Hey Ben try that milk Fuck no there's literally not a amount of money You can pay me to try that milk right now Ah dude

[00:06:07] It's just like coming down from his Dripping down his chin Like an anchor man Once it hits your lips though I love milk I love that famous line from Anchorman I love milk Uh no I He's a whole guy No I grew up on skim

[00:06:26] So I typically get skim Um sometimes I'll get one percent But I also still like two percent Whole milk so like I won't discriminate I like all milk As long as it's ice freaking cold You do like milk? I can't do milk

[00:06:42] He had some milk on our recent trip When we went to Chicago and got some cookies Well of course Got himself a nice bottle of milk Chocolate and milk go together right? But does it milk give you the craps? No I'm not lactose intolerant

[00:06:56] I've got a nice good robust internal system That processes my dairy properly Seriously you don't get the craps Nope you must be lactose intolerant I am Okay so that explains why I'm like milk rich Why do you eat so much cheese then? Yeah for real cheese boy

[00:07:12] I saw you eating a block of cheese You're eating cheese right now You're cutting pieces of cheese off a block with a knife I'm going to get sad Well By the way I don't ever Ever Cut pieces of cheese off a block of cheese I bite the block

[00:07:31] Has there been a large mouse here eating this cheese? Nope that's Nate's teeth Do you like cheese with mold on it? What? Like blue cheese? I do love blue cheese I like blue cheese dressing but I do not like blue cheese What's that about?

[00:07:47] I just like more funky What's that about? Honestly, I don't like the blue cheese that has chunks of blue cheese in it I don't want chunky blue cheese Why? I don't like that funky cheese Do you like Moonster? You mean Munster? No it's Moonster

[00:08:05] Do you like Moonster cheese? Do you like the Moonster? Hey Brad do you like Gouda? No Gouda Do you like Cheddar? I like American Parmesan? Parmesan This has been Cheese Corner on Go Flicks Yourself Brad what's the last movie you watched?

[00:08:25] Gosh you know what let me fucking tell you The last movie I saw was actually Blues Brothers 2000 That I watched for our podcast The 10 to 1 Podcast Which is a Saturday Night Live Podcast If you want to hear us talk a lot more About Blues Brothers 2000

[00:08:39] You can go check out our most recent episode of that podcast Hey Russell Over there All we can hear is you fucking goblin gushers Oh so now By the way we can't hear it But he's mad that you're eating gushers I guarantee you that's what it is

[00:08:56] He's mad that you're eating Oh I'm sorry you're not mad that he ate all the gushers You've been known to enjoy your own gushers without us I'm at the truth If anything I prefer to enjoy gushers by myself Those are good gushers And now they're all gone

[00:09:14] Yeah wow great Yeah we're Ben just ate a whole box of gushers basically I feel sick to my stomach So the last movie I saw was Blues Brothers 2000 As I said before that Was a movie that We were all assigned And we'll circle back around to that one

[00:09:31] We'll circle the wagons Yup It's a western It's a western Thanks I watched The Brothers Solomon Okay This is a movie that has been mentioned on and off again On the smart list podcast Hosted by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman And Sean Hayes

[00:09:55] And I've been curious about it Because I never thought it looked particularly good And I haven't heard lots of great things about it But Jason Bateman is one of those people Who thinks that it's pretty funny And it's written by Will Forte

[00:10:07] And it's also directed by Bob Odin Kirk Somebody else who I also love And whose comedic opinions I respect greatly So it's like well maybe it's not all that bad And honestly it isn't all that bad It's like a slightly more It's like there's something about Mary meets

[00:10:21] Dumb and Dumber It's not quite as edgy as there's something about Mary It's not quite as Grounded As dumb and dumber I guess you could say One of the things that's different about The Brothers Solomon Than most other Comedies Typically there's a huge falling out

[00:10:39] Where two people hate each other And they have to make amends But in this film The Brothers Will Forte's character Just loves his brother And he's done it wrong And he just wants to support him Is that Will Arnett? There is still a falling out

[00:10:57] But it's not quite as A wedge between them In the same fashion But yeah, Maylan Ackerman Is in this movie Kristen Wiig is in this movie Maylan Ackerman is actually one of the first Famous people that I met When I was I just moved to Los Angeles

[00:11:18] She was very nice She's a big listener so say hi Hi Maylan But yeah this movie was pretty funny Honestly I enjoyed it for the most part It only has like a 16% run Tomatoes If you accept it for what it is Which is very dumb and dumber

[00:11:36] Will Arnett and Will Forte Are doing exactly what they should do Is these characters Endlessly hopeful and clueless About the kind of people they are Because they're not bad people They're just goobers And they have no idea how to talk to women

[00:11:52] Will Arnett is so full of himself But it's not like It's cocky Yes but it's just silly cocky Very much like the same cockiness that rod has And hot rod But yeah this was I had a good time watching this movie I definitely didn't hate it

[00:12:11] I don't think it's quite on the same level as what I would expect from Bombode and Kirk Because it does feel like a Fairly Brothers movie I thought for the longest time it was a Fairly Brothers movie It feels like it

[00:12:21] But I liked it for the most part I definitely think it's a lot better than 16% on Rotten Tomatoes I watched St. Elmo's Fire For the first time Also I recently watched Was it on USA? No, funnily enough Just caught it on USA on a Sunday afternoon

[00:12:39] There's only like two or three What you would call Brett Pack movies Bomb! St. Elmo's Fire's On No It's about 20 minutes in You still want to watch it? I can't pause it Okay Ew Go on But no, it's one of the few

[00:13:05] Brett Pack movies that I hadn't seen And I just recently watched Andrew McCarthy's Brat documentary Oh yeah, yeah, I've been seeing that Which I think I can mention actually on this podcast But I did watch that a little while back Anthony Michael Hall

[00:13:19] Did another interview where he was asked Why he wasn't in that And he just said, I think that I'm always looking at moving forward That's the typical answer from people Who don't like talking about certain eras of their career

[00:13:29] And for him, I think he's probably talked about it so much That he didn't really feel like there was much more He had to say about it He's not in the documentary No, whereas a lot of the people that he talked to

[00:13:39] They haven't necessarily dug into as much Because they're not too keen to talk about it In regular interviews So hearing Emilio Estevez talk about it And Demi Moore And Rob Lowe and everything Rob Lowe's never really been shy about it He's fine, but like

[00:13:56] Especially because those three right there Have pretty successful careers So they're not like I'm going to go back to this well Because I still am struggling and this is what I need to do Is Emilio still working? He's been directing here and there

[00:14:10] He was in that Mighty Duck series On Disney Plus What's my boys love, I'll say I dug it for the most part He didn't come back for the second season Because he didn't want to get vaccinated So Emilio, no Emilio, no Give me me to it, fuck

[00:14:28] He directed that movie The Library The public Was that any good? I'm not going to watch it now It has a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes The library? The public But I Coming from Andrew McCarthy There's a part of me that feels like He doesn't really fully understand

[00:14:50] What the job is The job is An entertainment or culture critic Because the way he approached it was He took this article very personally And it's not overly critical of him It seemed like a weird thing To get Up in arms about To really focus in on

[00:15:11] Being labeled the brat pack When culture is always looking for A quippy way to describe trends I'm not sure That when I hear the word the brat pack I'm not sure That's just a group of people that did Movies It's mostly about Emilio Estevez And Rob Lowe

[00:15:31] Because some of the other actors Who would be considered part of the brat pack Are mentioned Because all those movies were very popular at the time But it's not like a huge scathing thing About Andrew McCarthy John Boyd, Sophia Varkara Those famous brat packers But

[00:15:49] It's still interesting to hear them talk about it But anyway, I watched San almost Fire Because of that I think if I had seen it Give me a 10 second I don't know what it is Honestly, I can say it with very broad strokes

[00:16:03] Because it's really about the specifics of what happened But it follows seven friends Who have just graduated college And they're all living their life post-college And it's kind of a mess One of them is in A dysfunctional marriage They're not sure if they want to get married

[00:16:20] The other one is in love with one of the other ones And he hasn't said anything about it yet So Where's the fire coming? So, San almost Fire is the name of the bar That they frequent Because I genuinely thought this was a firefighter movie Did you really?

[00:16:38] Wow No Not a firefighter in sight, my friend Yeah, you gotta remember Back in the day San almost Fire is when we lost him There's also a double on tundra Because apparently San almost Fire Is at least in the speeches The name given to a certain space phenomena

[00:16:59] That ties into life somehow And this monologue and everything But it was solid If I had seen it Alongside 16 candles, breakfast club Teen Wolf I probably would have more of a reverence for I still liked it and appreciate what it was

[00:17:17] I don't think it's quite as good as the other What you would consider Brad Pack movies But it was enjoyable Written by Joel Schumacher Directed by Joel Schumacher Batman Forever Batman and Robin Time to kill All movies from Joel Schumacher I watched The Secret of My Success

[00:17:39] With Michael J. Fox Was that on TBS? Seriously, you're just scrolling TNT TBS in USA And whatever the fuck is on I watched Mr. Deeds I watched Pretty in Pink Did you know that Pretty in Pink is 4 hours long? No, you watched it on USA

[00:18:00] I was in an 80s mood And Again, this was one of the few Michael J. Fox Comedies of that era That I hadn't seen before Hey mom! You wanna watch Michael J. Fox movie? TNT No, not that one Not that one Not that one either Keep going

[00:18:24] That's Michael Keaton Okay, this has been Brad doing His mom But yeah, it was pretty good It's a typical 80s Small town kid Heads to the city It does have that plot though Where he schemes To get himself a little into deep

[00:18:44] So he has to keep up these lies Where he's pretending to be someone else Michael J. Fox just has this inherent charm About him Was this the one where he finds Somebody's file effects? Like a book And he pretends to be them

[00:19:00] Yeah, it's not really the file effect He takes over their office After they're fired No, I think there's another one Where it's Jim Belushi In a cab And Jim Belushi finds it and just pretends to be him That's an actual movie from the late 80s

[00:19:17] Obviously, if that's on TNT next week It will be Along with nothing but trouble But yeah, so those are the movies I saw aside from the assignment Nate, what's the last movie you saw? Hey buddy, welcome back Hey, I saw a film called Hot Rod Yes

[00:19:35] A film I had not seen But I've been listening to the Seth Meyers This is crazy to me that you hadn't seen this movie If I had known you hadn't seen this movie I would have signed it to you last year I watched this film because

[00:19:47] They talk about this a lot Two episodes On this podcast They not only mention it in different episodes They actually do an episode Two episodes I'm on the first episode right now Where they talk about this I just finished that one as well

[00:20:05] And it's been a lot of fun It's a lot of fun The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast It's available wherever podcasts are sold Six or so episodes They just talk about how they don't know what they're going to call the podcast yet

[00:20:18] And they still don't have a name And that's just so funny to me How's your milk you fucking weirdo? I'm slurping it down You really are over there Now it just looks cloudy It's warm There's no fucking way Sorry, it is

[00:20:36] The glass is cloudy because of the humidity in it No, it's cloudy because you had 2% milk And that's what 2% milk does in a glass Sorry, Nate I got really upset So this is a film written by Pam Brady Directed by Akiva Shaver Pam Brady of South Park fame

[00:20:54] Oh really? So she wrote the script And after the first season That the Lonely Island was on SNL They got invited to do this This film And this was a movie that existed before The Lonely Island didn't Write it out of thin air

[00:21:14] They updated the script with a new draft Because we've all heard this episode of the Lonely Island You can get really in depth on how this happened If you want to listen to that podcast honestly But the short story is Pam Brady wrote this They punched it up

[00:21:28] And then they brought in Billy Hader And Danny McBride And they re-wrote it What did you think of Hot Rod? This was so much fun It was interesting to watch this film After I'd already listened to that episode Because you can see The tension in this film

[00:21:47] For what they wanted it to become They wanted this to become a certain film What would they say Like how did American Summer Really Madison One or the other At this point They were really dominated by Will Ferrell And so they wanted this to become

[00:22:05] A Will Ferrell type of film Studio did They're trying to balance a lot of that And this actually To me almost had a little bit of Napoleon Dynamite In it as well It's hilarious I love this movie so much Danny McBride's fantastic Will Hader's great Ian McShane

[00:22:27] I loved the They said he was the sweet, the nicest Smelling man they've ever met There's also some emotional elements In this as well Where Andy Sandberg's character His stepdad He wants to fight Well he only wants to fight him To prove that he's a man

[00:22:48] He wants his approval And he's willing to do whatever he can Brad, no bit Do your best Andy Sandberg What kind of Andy Sandberg though In whatever Where do you get off Is he out of breath Saying what way Say what way I will I will forget it

[00:23:14] Nate do you want to try No because I don't do impressions you know this Maybe Get him in a good mood The listeners I bet you'll get around to doing it Andy Sandberg's famous lines I don't know any of them because I did watch Brooklyn 99 Sorghumorg

[00:23:39] It's just Swedish Andy Sandberg doing the Swedish Sorghumorg We did it You liked it I loved this I don't see him act a ton But Yorma was fantastic in this Yorma is so funny in this movie

[00:23:57] He was fantastic and I would love to see him in other things You should watch popstar I've seen popstar I don't know what I would do Other than those two films I don't know what else he's done I mean he was in a bunch of the digital shorts

[00:24:12] But yeah he hasn't really been In a lot of stuff that wasn't lonely island movies But he has that nice Or that funny kind of Unassuming kind of He's able to play He very much is A certain type of character that a lot of people can't play

[00:24:28] He's great at playing the guy that's That's my fault Which is a type of comedic role that a lot of people can't do He has a great young innocence about it Innocence is the perfect purpose They talk in the podcast about the stunt performer That breaks his femur

[00:24:42] On one of the first stunts on the dirt bike The very first stunt in the movie Did you remember that scene After hearing the podcast And does it look like Oh wow that's a stunt There was nothing about the cut That made me think

[00:24:58] But certainly it was a stunt Because now I want to go back and watch that again Now that I know that They could have left it in I always felt like the stunt hit hard And I always thought either A. that's a good stuntman

[00:25:12] Or B. they figured out a way to have a really good dummy That looked like a body Some people are right The leg does go a funky direction But it doesn't look like a dummy though Because there's still some good hefty weight to it So to clarify

[00:25:27] On the way into the ambulance Was it funny? He was still all on board Because he's a professional So good for that guy And I will say this too For many years I've had a crush on Isla Fisher Still do Is there room out on that branch

[00:25:47] For me? If you want Hope it's a redwood tree Fuck you For the past three weeks I lose a little weight And I was hoping maybe with this shirt on You'd be like oh you actually down a couple of hours That kind of shit

[00:26:03] It doesn't make me feel good No, no shut up And then I also I was housing a bunch of gushers Okay I was housing a bunch of gushers I get it But the redwood comment It's a little much Trying to lose some weight

[00:26:24] Even if you were trying your hardest To lose weight three weeks is not enough To make like a normal tree Oh fuck you Oh fuck you Oh weight loss grew over here Hold on let me clarify It's because redwood trees are strong And you were overweight

[00:26:42] And you're a fat piece of shit Who would break any of your I just wanted to make sure we understood I want the general public to know That if you sat with Nate Laus On an oak tree branch That would fucking break so fucking quickly Oh goodness

[00:26:58] There are so many lines I love in Hot Ride Like that movie is endlessly quotable And there's just so many silly scenes I kept on waiting for a scene Or a part where it lost me You know what I mean And it didn't happen

[00:27:14] And I'm a little embarrassed and a little ashamed I didn't see this before It was not a commercial success It was a movie that I didn't see at all As they talk about It did not do well But it's totally found an audience

[00:27:28] This is probably why I didn't see it Because it did not do well And I thought oh it's probably dumb Nate's a front runner Well in 2007 I wouldn't have cared This movie had Has one of those specific Comedy Slapstick sound laughs That always gets me every time

[00:27:49] To the door of the van That's a very specific laugh point for you I will laugh every single time Because it's just the sound that his body makes Hitting the side of the van It's hilarious You've told me this privately Whenever Paul Blart farts

[00:28:05] Those are the two things that get you going Don't get him started on Paul Blart I know it'll turn into the whole Paul Blart thing That we've talked to him about Make one reference to Redwood Tree And I get lumped in with Paul Blart Mall Cop Unfortunately

[00:28:19] The episode is one through 100 Aren't available but it was basically a Paul Blart podcast At that point because of Brad It's Paul Cast Paul Cast I did love this film too Because again I don't want to compare Too much to Napoleon Diamond But there's that element where

[00:28:37] This film is not really about a ton It is about A group of friends Where you've got the leader Who Played by Andy Sandberg Wants to raise funds to Help his stepfather Pay for his father's conveniently price surgery But that's it That's what it is

[00:29:00] The comedy is about an everyday kind of life For these people And they help you kind of experience their life They show it well I love the direction There's actually some really As Seth Meyers talks about in the podcast There's some great cinematography

[00:29:16] Where he goes into the woods Some beautiful shots I'm going to watch this again I know it's fantastic Did you watch it with Finn? I did not I saw Nora and Finn at the fair by the way Because Nora is driving She went and took Finn

[00:29:34] Didn't go to the fair at all Buddy They got delicious foods To bring up the Brad's Brad's junk I'm fucking fat But I went to the fair Fair food I am, it's hard Honestly, why didn't go Because I was afraid I was going to eat too much food

[00:29:56] I went to the demolition derby We can cut all this But they do a demolition derby So there's the power wheels Where the kids have to hit That's not last man standing If you hit another car There's no way to destroy power wheels So they don't run anymore

[00:30:15] Honestly Toddlers wearing helmets Bumping into each other Crowds going nuts This little girl She's running around the outside And hitting and running away The pile in the middle Tapping them all from the outside Abigail King with 17 hits But then But then I had And I'm not joking

[00:30:43] I at 330 pounds 6 foot 2 Would have been the smallest competitor In the souped up Lawn mower tractor DEMOLITION DERBY Would you do that? I would These things have welded sides They're legitimate like Toro or John Deere lawn tractors That have been given dualy engines

[00:31:05] And they wet down the track But unfortunately it was so hot That the water tank even if they were doing it It still dried up pretty quickly So for the first like my friends Aaron and Jonah Snyder and I And Ashley and the boys went

[00:31:20] We were watching this And these are 400 pound guys And they're just farmers And they're poured into these fucking things And they're just they're only wearing a helmet And like cut off sleeves and jeans And they're and it's the same It's supposed to be the same thing Bam! Bam!

[00:31:38] And we're just watching this shit happen All of a sudden one dude T-Bones He tips over And this this barrel of a man Like spills out of this thing Oh my god And he just jumps up and like up ends the mower And jumps back in it

[00:31:54] And then the crowd goes fucking nuts Like this guy is like you know Hercules Do you have like tears in your eyes? I'm like he's an American And then it happened again They've come to the demolition door That's their thing they do with their family

[00:32:08] It's never happened that somebody's toppled over And it happened twice I'm coming every single year It was fucking awesome Idea guys let's do an idea Sush What do you think about next year? We put Ben into this You do this We get you a tractor

[00:32:26] We get you a tractor A day like days of thunder style You're our Tom Cruise Describe what you mean by days of thunder style I'm not sure you've seen days of thunder Well I mean just because It's gonna be an erase kind of element

[00:32:41] You know it doesn't sound like it's a race It's a demolition derby, Nate Like I just want you to have Tom Cruise hair from days of thunder Okay fair enough I don't really know what that looks like Just Tom Cruise is normal Hair in 1987 Like the firm hair

[00:32:59] No it's a little longer actually I think you're misremembering No I'll send it to you I'm pretty sure But yes to your point Nate I am in And then we do a goflix yourself logo on your tractor Yep done

[00:33:15] So I just would encourage you guys to pray about it and get back to me Okay I will say one thing I was thinking about is There needs to be It probably couldn't be Will Ferrell just because of Talida Ignites But there should be An R rated comedy

[00:33:27] About the demolition derby world I'm not joking That's such A Canadian McBride type of thing Or you just do Talida Ignites too And it's just like old Ricky Bobby is now washed up And in the demolition derby circuit I'd watch that Just spray paints wonder bread

[00:33:50] Did you watch anything else Nate besides Hot Rod? Yeah I watched a film called Silverado Oh okay we'll get to that in a second Did you watch anything else? So I watched A movie called Boo's Brothers 2000 I did watch that too I watched that

[00:34:06] I watched a movie called Silverado That's it There are two films we have for this You don't have any other screen fun I mean I watched Season one and season two of The Bear to get caught up Oh So you watched TV and enjoy it

[00:34:22] Dish please do dish I love that show so much Cousin tell me about it Forks is the best episode Is that the Christmas episode? No that's the episode where Richie goes to the fancy restaurant Oh is that Olivia Colman's Is that the mushroom one? Yep

[00:34:42] It's such a turn For that character though And they do such a good job I'm talking about TV Richie that character That character that turn is so perfect And it's such a slow burn on that turn as well Because they let him be an asshole

[00:34:59] Fucking ever and honestly I was getting pretty sick of it And then that happens And I'm like what a cool payoff He comes back and he's like I wear suits now And it's a thing Maybe because I know a lot of those guys

[00:35:11] And there's a part of him That reminds me of my brother Brandon That I never found him to be an asshole I found him to be very vulnerable And being afraid Sure He is so Because he didn't go to college So thinly veiled with his Bombastic personality

[00:35:31] I'm a fixer No you're not I'm really compassionate towards him As a character for some reason But no that show is So well written So I just finished the 10th episode of the season 2 I am actually going to watch the first episode After this podcast

[00:35:49] I've not seen season 3 yet What are you doing? I mean Brandon says it's bad Just take a break from bonin for at least a day But I defended it because somebody told me This week they're like It's not as good as the first two seasons I'm like

[00:36:08] That doesn't mean it still can't be great though Got by the three Yeah this filet mignon isn't as good as the t-bone Fuck off Maybe I did watch something else But no So we did something Wait I talked about if Yes you did We did something fun

[00:36:32] This week We had a suggestion Come from a listener Unprompted But I was happy to get this And I think I remember where It came from Because there was a conversation That we had briefly about Lawrence Kasdan Because He is a very well known filmmaker And screenwriter

[00:36:56] He had just done Worked on something that Nate had watched for the first time And we talked about The Big Chill And we talked about Rared to the Lost Ark And the other movies that he's done And so because of that AJ Shill 75 On Twitter

[00:37:12] One of our listeners Shout out AJ Directed by Lawrence Kasdan Hashtag western Hashtag stellar cast This is one of those things where I saw the main cast I knew Kevin Klein I knew Scott Glenn And then I was watching the opening credits And I keep seeing Brian Dennehy

[00:37:35] Jeff Goldblum What the fuck It turned into a who's who Of young I guess that Dennehy wasn't young at the time He's always young in my heart He looked What year was this? 1985 Ten years later he does Tommy Boy He looks older in this film He's only like 46

[00:37:59] I think it's the beer It's the white hair in the beer Silverado is a western It is produced and directed by Lawrence Kasdan And it stars Kevin Klein And Scott Glenn And Danny Glover And then he has a quartet of I guess misfit cowboys

[00:38:18] Whose paths end up crossing Over and over again As they're each trying to go on their way It's like best described as These are the only four guys that are The good guys And you just see that in this film Because there's so many bad guys

[00:38:34] That are very clearly bad guys And each one of them is like A lot of possees Nope, don't want to be with you They're all of a sudden Best of friends After Kevin Klein And Scott Glenn Crosspads And Scott Glenn helps Kevin Klein

[00:38:52] He's not necessarily immediately gung ho About doing whatever Scott Glenn is doing He still has his own thing to go about doing He says the words, you know This is where we shake hands But of course they all end up crossing pads Over and over again

[00:39:06] And they do end up continually helping each other When things go wrong This is a very classic Western formula Yeah, so a lot of the feedback for this Brad was Western in 85 That felt like it was a Western in 65 Yeah, 100%

[00:39:22] Because it does not feel like it's a 1985 movie At all And that goes right down to the score By Bruce Brofton Which was actually Oscar nominated And this score is awesome Like it is a great Western score It is like going full war

[00:39:39] I feel like this is the score That City Slickers was based on Yes, yep Well City Slickers score is based on The sound of classic Western But that's what this is That type of a little bit more fun score Is based on

[00:39:55] It has a little bit more of a light hearted They take that up a notch What do you guys think about this movie So the opening is It jumps you right into the action And then they pan through the door They don't wait to start There's just gunfire

[00:40:11] And then it opens into this gorgeous vista Overlooking this canyon And Brad is telling me Unfortunately I have not seen the searchers But he says it's a recreation of a shot from the searchers So that's really a nice homage I say rip off, but you say homage

[00:40:25] That's fine It's cute that you don't have any On touch with like cinema history I guess I could make movies too I just take everything from everybody else Bucky lords You know there's a filmmaker who made his entire career on that And his name is Quentin Tarantino

[00:40:42] Mel Brooks Him too Any hoosal What do you guys think I really like this movie a lot I wouldn't call myself a western fan I don't love westerns I'm not going out of my way to like watch all of them But there are like Tropes and traits

[00:41:02] That I do enjoy in westerns And because this tapped in so much Into that classic style western I really just like Got caught up in it And one of the things I really appreciated actually Was that the characters in this movie Are not your prototypical Gruff cowboys

[00:41:20] Walking around with their western draw And everything Like Kevin Klein And Scott Glenn It was hard for me to see Kevin Klein as a tough guy Yeah, you know and I was fine I was fine I guess Like they were normal people

[00:41:38] Who lived during the time of the wild west And had to live as cowboys But weren't walking around Like typical western cowboys With the sunken eyes And the Yes spittin tobacco all the time However, lots of tobacco spitting in this film Oh yeah of course Cowboy movie

[00:41:58] I gave it a little made it feel like it's a little more grounded in a way the lack of whorehouses was surprising Well, there's one full-on whorehouse in this movie. Oh The saloon at the beginning is that the whorehouse?

[00:42:12] There's another whorehouse isn't the bar also a whorehouse. That's what I said the saloon It's not just at the beginning like it's like not the later one I didn't think was a whorehouse no Linda hunt is I think she's fully operating a bar and a whorehouse

[00:42:24] Was Linda hi operating in the saloon like I thought it was just a saloon in a gambling place Oh, yeah, I just don't assume just because they're Why did you think there's prosecution at what point did you see a whore they looked like horse?

[00:42:39] And I don't mean like they looked whore-ish, but they look like prototypical Western horse paid sex for money In the old list which were known as horse exactly Wardrobe that women that work at saloons for sex wear describe it satin frilly

[00:42:58] Like corsets you see a little bit of their chest. Yeah cleaves pushed up cleaves Yeah, usually some little little booty cheeks hanging out That's actually not at all Oh, yeah, but sometimes the Little bit of their cleaves

[00:43:17] Sometimes you get some booty cheeks hanging out of the frill in the back. No, you're going to the wrong Yeah, you were you were getting short of the lady Marmelade music video. Yes. No, that's burlesque

[00:43:29] I think that's what you're thinking. No, you're thinking. No, there's plenty plenty of those outfits You're thinking of a musical rent in that's what it is 2600 Yes Locked and loaded on that one We tapped into the horse on

[00:43:48] But no, I really like Silverado Nate. What did you think? There was a lot to like about this film especially the the actors what I didn't love

[00:43:57] there's a couple things that if I would critique it at all is and I think this is a feature of Western movies Western movies typically especially if this is truly Lawrence Kazim play an homage to Western films from the 50s and 60s

[00:44:13] Dialogue is not the number one thing right especially well-acted dialogue there. It's oftentimes slower it's you know giving like Trophy lines that you know become trophy over time so there's part of this that I I Didn't think was great

[00:44:33] But as a Western especially if you suspend that and say this is not a 1980 film 85 film this is a film that is an homage to the Western Genre I think it was really well done

[00:44:45] I also couldn't get over it was hard for me to see Kevin Klein in this role because I don't see Kevin Klein as an action Tough guy. Oh, apparently you didn't see a wild wild West neither did anybody else

[00:44:58] But I all that said I genuinely like this film I would say it needed to be about 20 minutes short. I do think it's a little bit long as well I think it drags a bit and

[00:45:09] And I'll say this to Kevin Costner seemed like a different Kevin Costner. This is pretty early in customers career This is by far was the best cost seriously This is by far my favorite Kevin Costner performance. I've ever seen because are you serious? Yeah, he's doing something different

[00:45:26] Yeah, he's you have you say I'm a scene tin cup He I have seen tin cup and I he lost the life that he had in this movie when he made 10 cup even because even in

[00:45:33] Tin Cup he's supposed to be like a little bit of like a sharp smart ass You know a former professional golfer that kind of thing, but he's still like low-key Like dry Kevin Costner in that role here

[00:45:45] He's like a lively kid like he's like he's almost like Billy the kid climbing the monkey bars Yeah, he's a rascal in this movie I mean he's yeah, and he's also got inflection in his voice that he often doesn't happen

[00:45:58] I have never seen a Kevin cost performance like this And if he continued to do performances like this for the rest of his career, I actually have a career I might like him you could actually have a career You know the guy that directed dances with wolves

[00:46:10] He could have a career what he and two years later did the untouchables then no way out them bold Durham Then fielded dreams. Yeah, he's done. Okay. Tell me what what nuances of those performances

[00:46:21] You really liked from Kevin doesn't matter as a career. I was saying I didn't say he didn't have a career I said I don't think he's a good actor. No, you're right though in that like in this film

[00:46:31] He showed a range. Yeah that seemed actually I would say almost I think he gave one of the best acting performances in this film. I think yeah, I would agree with that

[00:46:41] It was really good exactly no, I liked I liked him in it and I wish that he continued to be a good actor No, I did I enjoyed this film for the most part Because of the performances I Danny Glover was especially

[00:46:58] poignant with his father and all that stuff that the side action there Yeah, cuz I just remember Danny Glover from you know predator to Which we all do his most famous role of course. Yeah, definitely not anything else. Mm-hmm nobody comedies not not gone fishing

[00:47:19] Oh, are you talking about the classic Joe Pesci film? Of course. I am of course you are it's one where they went fishing Hey guys, I have a Western game for you guys want to play hey

[00:47:29] Yes, hey first. Thanks AJ. She'll say hi yeah for suggesting Silverado. I am very glad I watched it I'm honestly I actually love one of this is Suggests this movie and I actually think that it would have taken me a while to like somehow circle around to this

[00:47:42] I don't I don't never want to see yeah, cuz I haven't I don't ever remember like hearing anybody coming out and saying oh man You need to see Silverado like it's never been suggested to me in that way before

[00:47:51] And so I wasn't even sure what this movie was when I suggest I assumed it was a Western But I didn't know like the premise or anything like that It was fun to see all these incredible actors that have built incredible careers

[00:48:03] Early on in their career doing a role that many of them I mean obviously Kevin Caster has really done a lot of Western but also other roles now I know that done 1985 Brian Denne he would be the person that would play me in

[00:48:17] I want to I want to yeah, it looks like a jacked-up version of what I could be like a burly tough guy You get yourself a fur coat and nice hat you can As a Halloween for yeah, Brian Denny

[00:48:30] Sheriff in Silverado Cobb Cobb um I need a cob salad off air before the podcast You said something that really made me think that you need to reexamine Kevin Klein's career Because you were like it's really hard for me to see Kevin Klein in a not comedy role

[00:48:45] And it's like why haven't you seen the movies that Kevin Klein has done that aren't comedies? I mean I because I know him from like Dave and from fish called Wanda. Yeah, and I know him from In and out

[00:48:58] Me too yeah, so that but that's what I know him from I know what are the serious dramatic roles He's done it's funny you mentioned that because I as a house I gave that to one of you gave it to me and that's that's more recent

[00:49:09] But you honestly you should see the big chill which was also written and directed by Lawrence Cazden Which is a very never seen a very big dramatic turn by him and a great ensemble. Well somebody should do their fucking job and assign it to me

[00:49:20] Well, we would except maybe you wouldn't watch it because you don't always watch your sign moves I watch them every time you barely finished Silverado. I barely did and I had to fast forward a little bit of it

[00:49:29] That's okay. It's not. I'm sorry. If you don't go back in it I had a fit I'm going to I had I had to fast forward about 15 minutes because we were we were we needed Because Ben's bad at time management and life skills

[00:49:40] Also, I didn't know it was two hours and 12 minutes AJ come on man. He doesn't know how to check things ahead of time Just Josh for the guys who's good movie Hey, what type I didn't try all right. Let's I got your what type doing Ben

[00:49:53] Would you like to do a nice Western theme song for Nate's game? Please do yeah? Game time Game time Plays games with Ben Brad and Nate Come along for the ride I want to get away Nate. I want you to know

[00:50:19] I hate so much that who we who is how you chose to define The most famous sound from the good the bad and the ugly score Well, yeah, cuz like you know as they look at each other they're trying to figure out who each other is

[00:50:30] That's where it comes from Who are you like you could at least gone? Nope these are the choices I make and that's what you pay me for Definitely not paying you and I would pay you significantly less for that if I were paying you

[00:50:51] You're sometimes you get upset that I only add to Brad songs I was very thankful for the the help there because you do a good job adding a second who we who

[00:51:02] Like what I like that the editorial choice he made there like he went with it and I was like yeah I like that I like that it was like an old-timey radio show version exactly you're all by the way You're all very welcome right now

[00:51:15] So guys, I have seen 16 Western films 16. I counted them Able to count how many we've seen is really upsetting gonna stop you how did you come up with this number? Cuz I looked through the greatest Western films and I wrote them down the ones that I've seen

[00:51:36] Okay, so I need your help as my chance you've seen more than that as my bros as my bros I need your guys's helps to figure out 16 good Westerns You might have seen another 30 terrible westerns that didn't make that there's a very good chase

[00:51:49] I didn't but you know who knows for example Did you include an American tale 5-0 goes a West in your county? I did not how about cowboys and aliens I Did not see well, yeah, that's not that wouldn't be in

[00:52:01] But you've seen it those are two Westerns you missed that you've seen so okay, so Yeah, so what I need is still hold on a second his whole thing was like no I highly doubt it

[00:52:13] We named two rap that is like yep. There's do you see Wild Wild West I Think so she's Shanghai noon. No. Oh, okay Are you gonna give me that one as a it's fun?

[00:52:25] All right, it's enjoyable. No, I mean it's it's definitely not Shanghai nights actually actually I lived in China and it's Shanghai Did you did you I did for four months I lived in China How much do you remember of the Mandarin language?

[00:52:41] Can you say hello my name is Nate? Ni Hao That's all I know. Miyamo Nate Isn't me how just hello. Yep sure is so I knew that And I you know what how many months have I spent in China?

[00:52:56] What's so funny zero? What's so funny is I took this is how education really impacted me I took four hours of Mandarin for four months every day. Oh my god My name is Nate. Yeah, wow

[00:53:12] How many okay, so I mean that's just crazy to me like but that was 25 years when they let's get back to the 16 Western yeah seeing quote-unquote so I put these 16 westerns right?

[00:53:23] I want you guys to help me okay, you're gonna debate between the two of you. What is the best Western nights? It's not like a game Did you read a game no he did I need your help you guys

[00:53:39] Thank you. I want to know what somebody asked me I'm here for you Fuck you Brad All right, here we go. All right, so I'm gonna put two movies together and you guys tell me what is the better

[00:53:56] Film out of those okay, and we're gonna get that the best film that Nate has seen not that you have seen Western film all right Here are the two first options first seed young guns love young guns only a 43% in rotten tomatoes Comically underrated love this film

[00:54:14] Number 16 the hateful eight which the which is the better film hateful eight Wait the better film yeah Isn't it in the hateful eight that has the ridiculous

[00:54:30] No, hey play it is the better film all right hatefully it went city stickers first the good bad and the ugly good I'm ugly. That's obvious Although that seems like an unfair matchup for a first round you doing are you doing one versus 16 seeds here?

[00:54:44] Well, I did I put this into a bracket maker and did just rhyme well that bracket maker sucks Yeah, because I didn't want to go through the Effort no it's just I don't know what I would rank one to 16 right if I knew what I'd rank one to 16

[00:55:02] I would know what my favorite yeah, there would be no point to having the tournament. So here we go tombstone versus heller high water Fuck those are two way different films

[00:55:13] And they're each good for different reasons. I mean I'm going to stone just because it's one of my favorite films all time Yeah, it's not my top ten. Yeah, I think it's got to be tombstone, but but that does not slight hella high water is awesome

[00:55:23] I know one of the best modern Western I know hella high water and you don't think that you like westerns go watch that film. Yeah, all right It's a modern day Western. Yeah, so then back to the future three verse 310 to Yuma

[00:55:39] The original or the remake the remake I've not seen the original 310 to you Yeah, only because cuz like I like back to the future part three But like if we're talking like if it's really a proper Western, you know, like it's three. It's three 10 to Yuma

[00:55:53] Yeah, of course it is open range Versed butch Cassidy in the Sunday much Cassidy all I haven't even seen open range, but it's butch Cassidy on Sunday That's good Unforgiven or true grit most recent unforgiving unforgiving. Yeah

[00:56:06] That's not to say that true grit the remake by the Cone Brothers isn't also fantastic I love that unforgiving is in the top five of Westerns ever made in my opinion. Yes, I agree

[00:56:15] No country for old men or the magnificent seven the 2016 version no control men by far No country for all men is better than the original magnificent seven Those are two very different movies and that would be very hard to figure out I said what I said

[00:56:33] All right, the last of Mohegan's first Silverado. I Haven't seen the last of Mohegan since I was a boy, but I remember it being very good Yeah, just based on that I'm gonna have to say that same. Yeah

[00:56:45] Alright the last of Mohegan's first no country for old men the thing about no country for old men See is it's it's very much a neo-western even more so than heller high water is and it borders on almost like just a drama

[00:57:07] Not being a western like it. Yeah more of just a general crime thriller So I'm torn because of that last because of that You've convinced me Brad because it's not really a Western

[00:57:18] Yeah, I'm gonna say last Mohegan's as well. Oh, right and then this is going to be Unforgiven first butch Cassidy in the Sundance kid Wow, that is a tough matchup Fuck you Nate. That's really hard unforgiving

[00:57:37] Because what I'm just thinking when I think Western and I'm thinking that Cassidy my favorite Western is is is a buddy comedy that is set as a Western Yep, I need your help to pick my that's that's where on my brain went Brad

[00:57:53] But see about that's what I love about butch Cassidy's on its kid is because it takes what you love about classic Westerns and infuses it with A formula that you wouldn't as that was not like popular yet exactly And so Where is it? It's a traditional Western

[00:58:11] Unforg but that's the thing. It's like unforgiven is great But it's it's also a formulaic Western as good as it is It's it's the best version of a formulaic Western I'm going with butch Cassidy in the Sundance kid

[00:58:22] So you guys need to work this freaking out. All right, butch Cassidy or unforgiving well, this is you need to work it out Yeah, you're the tiebreaker. It's your your I'm going on for game quote unquote I'm going on for giving them

[00:58:33] And you're smart and handsome. All right tombstone verse the good bad and the ugly Yeah, I mean as much as I want to say to some because I love that film the good bad early is just iconic Wait

[00:58:52] You guys picked hate blade over young guns go back and they overseas like her sorry hate plate versus good bad and the ugly good bad yeah good and ugly and then Tombstone verse 310 to you know my tombstone All right now we're in the quarter finals

[00:59:12] Last of Mohegan's verse. I'm forgiven. I'm forgiven The good bad the ugly verse tombstone All right unforgiven verse the good bad and the ugly That's really difficult the good the bad and the ugly because there is no unforgiving without a good the bad

[00:59:31] And I will say that I think that you are I'll I don't want to debate the fighter points of this, but yes, I technically agree with you on that So my favorite Western film is the good

[00:59:49] Is the good back would you guys agree that that is your favorite Western film? I don't know if I would say it's my favorite Western film But you think it's the most iconic and is it the best Western?

[00:59:58] Yeah, I mean it's it would be hard to argue that it's not the best Western It's it's always gonna be towards the top of any listed. It's the very least

[01:00:05] It's in the top okay, what is your favorite then I'd have to go back and like really like dig my favorites I'm forgiven is my favorite Western of all time really more than tombstone tombstone is right there tombstone

[01:00:15] So I'm forgiven is just that is such a great film on every level the villain is wicked and the the backstory of Clint Eastwood's character is perfect and The cast is it is just

[01:00:30] You can't get any better you can't recast that film Morgan Freeman Jean Hackman and Clint Eastwood are Point perfect in that in those roles

[01:00:39] There's a ton of Westerns right from the actual West cut like the Western genre when it was at the height in the 50s and 60s Most of those films I have not seen yeah, so our listeners that have seen a lot of those

[01:00:53] I would love to have your recommendations for those. Yeah I mean like I've seen pale rider and I've seen Shane and I've seen The outlaw Josie Wales Searchers I've not seen the searchers But though they're all good right and there there are moments in there

[01:01:09] Oh, that's that iconic thing that everybody knows if there are Zyte guys penetrating moments from all of those films the good band. They really was a real film But that's a oh yeah, no, that's that's a hardcore film. Have you seen the harder they fall?

[01:01:21] No, would you put that in the top ten? I don't know if I put in the top ten, but it is a very good Modern Western okay, very good

[01:01:30] So yeah, let us know in the comments. Let us know what you think of the best Westerns, you know some of the things not the hotel More of a Ramada in guy All right, well we did it we did guys I

[01:01:45] Did I just I do just want to say that it was not really a game. It wasn't a game But I thought it was fun. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it

[01:01:53] What the game I want to be clear wasn't a game, but it was fun. It was a fun thing I just wanted a conversation because no I friend AJ Schill 75 gave us a game about Westerns

[01:02:03] I thought let's figure out some what my favorite Western is. I wasn't sure what it was you guys told me No, I appreciate I appreciate that game very much Let's say it's a it's a feature a featured part of the podcast or a featured segment

[01:02:17] Sure, did you watch the heart of they fall? No, I just asked him that I told you are you fucking kidding me? What are you Nate now? Do you watch Cowboys? I

[01:02:29] Do I I just recently got ordered something that I'd like to use maybe like once a month for episodes to kind of give us a Theme for our assignments. Hey, by the way, we didn't do trailers. I know we're not done with the podcast

[01:02:43] Yeah, where the game in one comes at the end But it was a part of like the conversation establishes was not a game I Was just saying it was a second the listener right now thought we were gonna end the show

[01:02:53] It was a segment that tied into our assignment from a listener Oh Sometimes on this podcast and allow me to tell the listener you'll know when we're in the fucking show But no, I

[01:03:11] Wait till it give us a theme at least like once a month, which I think could be fun And we help like have created more unifying Conversation for certain assignments so like it like like July should be like hot movies

[01:03:23] No, no, I mean we sometimes we do that just by default like you know, October will do Halloween movies We'll scare the hell out of Nate You know August can be hot movies September will do labor movies. Yeah, October can be hot movies. Just just stop Anyway

[01:03:40] Now's the time on the podcast where we talk about trailer It's trailer time It's trailer time with Ben and Brad trailer time and Nate's here to you trailer time with Ben and Brad Nate Is the great? He really forgot me in that

[01:03:59] He had a meanly I had a Nate late and Nate late. He is great. We're gonna watch trailer time with me He did such a quote-unquote Good good job with the game

[01:04:19] I was gonna get it right if you're gonna do it do you do it right cuz that was not at all what I did Nate Actual thing you did Yeah, that's a tongue twister so anyway we watched trailers we did we watch two to big trailers big boys

[01:04:48] Two big boys two big boys with big trailers coming soon The first trailer is one that came out just after we recorded last week So this one seems a little bit late, but we're gonna talk about anyway

[01:04:58] Cuz who gives a fuck about timing and that's the first trailer for gladiator to This is directed by Ridley Scott who directed the original gladiator Russell Crowe is not back because his character died at the end of the first he did he did

[01:05:13] But this movie follows a very similar trajectory and a story that will be very familiar to those who watch the original gladiator Because it's basically the same story again. However, which but I see you think it looks good Yeah, no, I'm not upset by it

[01:05:27] Like I'm I actually kind of miss the days when sequels were a little more simple And they did just offer a very slight spin on the same formula die hard to die harder. There you go

[01:05:38] And so yeah, I think what is this die hard in an airport? Yes. Yes. Yes, it is shut the fuck up My film popcorn you piece of shit and watch John McLean save the day. What's wrong with you? Yeah? Hey, Brad What's your favorite hinder song?

[01:05:54] I'm not even sure I know a hinder song Sing it for me the worst You're an angel Like a the girl I'm with is it great, but the Lips of an angel is literally my girls in the next room

[01:06:23] Wish you was and sometimes I wish she was you know, it's like we never Moving on I really need to hear your voice It's same my name eggs so so

[01:06:37] Ben how often did you crank this song in your dorm room while it was well wearing an affliction t-shirt? I never thinking about the girl that you wish you had I had money. It was ed hardy

[01:06:47] You fucking know it wait wait wait, did you ever have an ed hardy shirt? No. Oh, yes For the right reasons for the right reasons Only one right reason because my going away party to leave San Diego was a Jersey short theme going away party

[01:07:03] So I bought one off Craigslist because that's back then likely No, I bought it and it's ed hardy and I went to the guy's house and he was such he was like

[01:07:12] Yeah, no man. That's what big barely worn and he was like trying to amp me up about the fact that And I was like, I literally said oh man. I'm just buying it for a caution party

[01:07:19] I really he was so crestfallen when I said that I still gave him the like wasn't really a guy that probably 100% he had a whole collection. He actually answered the door in a tap out shirt. That's how I knew

[01:07:30] So I took his glittery ed hardy shirt and I wore it to my going away party and then threw it away I bet you that shirts were the least 10 bucks today. Oh, yeah, I honestly

[01:07:40] I could probably put that online nowadays and get my money back for it. I love it. It's so stupid But yeah, so cool hinder I don't know why that But yeah, no gladiator to Pedro Pascal

[01:07:56] Denzel Washington. Yeah, I mean it's a banging cast here. Yeah, yeah, Joseph Quinn who was just in a quiet place day one He's playing one of the highfalutin whimsical, you know Roman higher ups Ridley Scott is 80

[01:08:13] He's old, you know, I mean, but it still looks really really is gonna be 87 no There you go So he's not really directing right like he's there but like no, I'm doing it around him

[01:08:25] I'll listen to Ridley Scott talk. He's still got like a fucking fire burning. He's going He's going yeah, that's good for him. Honestly. No Ridley Scott is still a bad motherfucker Like he does I really cool to hear no bullshit like he's yeah

[01:08:37] He's got his wits about him do your best release got go I'm not even sure I know what Ridley Scott sounds like I know that if you said you listen to him

[01:08:45] Yeah, he said you just said if you listen to him so that means you've listened to him I mean reading his quotes When you You can just really hear the fire in his belly

[01:08:59] No, I mean honestly if you go read Ridley Scott's quotes, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about We're gonna get this fucking piece of shit made and I have the studio tries to get my way

[01:09:08] They go fuck themselves. No seriously that's that that is something Ridley Scott would have said That's exactly what I mean when I say you can tell yeah, yeah, he does not mince words He does not fuck around when I'm at 87 you don't have time for that

[01:09:19] But but here's the thing is really Scott according to IMDB has six projects including gladiator two That are in the works. Oh he had always had a bunch of movies and development an untitled Bee Gees biopic. He's got road to freedom

[01:09:34] Which is a TV miniseries queen in country, which is a film Sinking spring which is a TV series Raith's of the broken land which is in pre-production He's the director of that film just freakin still working. I wonder how that works for like Insurance

[01:09:52] What do you mean? He said how old he is so like you don't want your director to die halfway through the film, right? Right, so if you're in the production like that you would have it if they're a bad director

[01:10:01] You would need to take your you know of a very the studio takes a large insurance policy out against the director in that probably for that So I've run an article Entitled

[01:10:12] From the independent go fuck yourself Trent crim right it go fuck yourself the funniest and most shocking quotes Shut up. I'm trying to read a headline They're touching the tips of their penises they're touching the tips of their be Squish

[01:10:33] This article style go fuck yourself the funniest and most shocking quotes from Ridley Scott's explosive press tour. This is from 1994 December of 2021 Right off the bat here's something he said when he was speaking to deadline When someone brought up superhero movies

[01:10:51] Ridley Scott said the best films are driven by characters and we'll come to superheroes after this if you want because I'll crush I'll fucking crush it. They're fucking boring as shit That's amazing But not true. I mean it just depends on what you know

[01:11:05] Yeah, yeah endgame was definitely boring as shit. Yeah, exactly Roland Emmerich. What are you doing? Who's Roland Emmerich another dirt wise you're boring. It's kind of famous. No, I know So there yeah, someone asked Ridley Scott about the Gucci family not being necessarily happy with how they're portrayed

[01:11:24] In the the movie and here's what really Scott said he said and yet frankly how could they be better represented than Al Pacino Excuse me. You probably have the best actors in the world. You should be so fucking lucky. Oh my god

[01:11:35] That's amazing. Yeah, this guy is awesome. Okay. He is now my favorite director Yeah, really Scott rules like really Scott says go fuck yourself And I was doing a bit and that actually is the way he talks 100% I am so happy right now

[01:11:52] So yeah, really Scott is dreading gladiator too. I'm excited for I think it's good It follows Lucius who was the the young boy who was the nephew of walking Phoenix's emperor character in the first movie and

[01:12:02] Somehow he ended up falling out of favor with you know the higher ups and now he's becoming a gladiator like Maximus He's been living in the wilderness according to Wikipedia. Yeah 15 years. Yeah, so it looks Maximus Decimus Aurelius Maridius

[01:12:17] Looks good. I'm excited to see it great cast really Scott, you know bangers all the time So love it love it love it love it. What do you need you on board? Oh, you're on board

[01:12:25] Oh, I'm so on board for this crazy. This is a Netflix only that's not true. It's going So they're expecting wish they hadn't spent as much because they need to stop spending so much money on movies

[01:12:38] But still to do a gladiator-esque Roman you still need 250 million Denzel in it I mean no, no for sure. It's this looks like at least the production. It'll peak interest for sure I hope I hope it turns out what else we watch Brad

[01:12:50] We also watch the trailer speaking of superheroes We watched the trailer for Captain America brave new world which does not look boring as shit Does not look boring as shit also does not look great though either

[01:13:05] The trailer is cut well, I will say I do like the style of like the flashing bumpers with the the beats Yeah, you know, yeah, there's an action film like yeah No, it's definitely trying to tap into that winter soldier vibe

[01:13:18] You know political action thriller kind of thing it needs to yes That what's what we've been talking about this for a while in the decline of Marvel and there's the saturation effect all I stuff but what Marvel?

[01:13:31] Probably needs to do is we need you just said have an action movie Yeah, these these now these these stories are so weird find you you're introducing so many characters It's just just show me

[01:13:42] The money here like you're creating films just for the next exactly and let's just do the thing I need a good film exactly the good show me the car facts show the car packs

[01:13:52] So here's where I'm concerned about this movie and this is more behind-the-scenes minutiae than anything But this is stuff that is publicly out there This movie had to do very extensive reshoots and when I say extensive reshoots

[01:14:04] I mean over a month's worth of reshoots and in Hollywood for a blockbuster movie That is a lot of fucking reshoots and that's that's not the reason because it was apparently bad

[01:14:18] And here's how you know a way to tell you how bad it was how bad was it? So you'll notice that Giancarlo in Esposito is in this movie He wasn't that character was not in the original. Oh my god

[01:14:31] Cast for the reshoots only yeah, and he's like the main bad in this in this Yeah, they make him out to seem like he's probably the main villain, but Jesus. Yeah, that's how rough it is

[01:14:41] So what what is the problem? What is Marvel doing? I I honestly think They do so well in phase four I think three I think a big part of it is they got

[01:14:55] Overwhelmed because Disney plus wanted so much from them on TV and they lost focus on the stuff that made them great before And they I think they've they rested too much on their laurels

[01:15:05] Thinking that people would come along with whatever they had and they just don't have the same Focus or ambition that was the driving force that made the infinity saga work so well They don't have anything that works as a solid core to keep anybody engaged yet

[01:15:22] And so I and I think one of the the other reason that I'm concerned with Captain America Brave New World is that I don't think that we've been given enough about Sam Wilson as a character to really be invested in the struggle for him

[01:15:36] Becoming Captain America and that's a big part here is I don't know if anything Mackey can carry Yeah, and that's a big part of that character in the comics is like he really has to struggle to be Captain America because he doesn't have

[01:15:49] Superpowers he's not Steve Rogers and they do have that line in the in the trailer and it works pretty well But like for me, I'm just not invested enough in Sam Wilson's character even after Falcon and the Winter Soldier Which I didn't dislike yeah

[01:16:01] I didn't dislike it either but like there still wasn't enough there for me to grasp on him and be like oh I can't fucking wait to see Sam Wilson as Captain America now

[01:16:09] And so you know I just and you have stuff like Harrison Ford is great thinking about Harrison Ford playing Red Hulk Sure like I'm fucking on board for that But like there's just some there's because William Hurt did play that role, but he died

[01:16:23] Yes, he's he is playing in case you didn't realize the mustache. He's playing general Fatty's Thunderbolt Ross kind of a little cheesy to include Ben in the weird like I mean you gotta show you have to dress

[01:16:35] Yeah, you had your son in the film not in the trailer well William Hurt died so Well it hurts that I'm here, but But but yeah, so I'm I'm curious about this of course

[01:16:45] I will see it but the reshoots and the state of Marvel in general have me concerned with whether or not it'll work I'm blue directing. This is Julius Ona

[01:16:54] Which again they're giving the writing and the directing to a lot of people that have no experience pretty much right? Yeah, and that's another bigger problem I think is like sometimes to them for giving people the chance

[01:17:07] But these are independent film directors. Yeah, that they're giving two hundred million dollars So let's just call it is they're giving this opportunity to people like this because Marvel wants to be the director They're they want a hundred percent. They don't want another

[01:17:22] Multiverse of madness. They don't want these people to take these these movies and make them yeah horrors or they need directors They can easily can take the YTT's and they don't want that they really don't yeah

[01:17:32] But which is shitty because those movies those are films that did well though They don't always work right it's more often it works than not because at least it's a fucking style to it

[01:17:41] Yeah, but at the same time, you know, I mean tykes that ended up blowing up in their face You know Thor Love and Thunder is not that great. I mean I still really liked it though I don't hate it, but after seeing it seeing it again

[01:17:52] You know I you can really start to see the cracks in it And it's just you've got the Russo brothers right? It's a better movie than we just saw in Civil War And it's hard to do as well as the Russo brothers better move in the Eternals I

[01:18:07] Don't know if I'd go that far fuck off Actually don't hate yeah, no, I think that there's a lot of boring I Don't disagree that it is not your typical superhero action fare

[01:18:18] But it doesn't mean that I don't think that there's some really good filmmaking going on there and some really nuanced performances Like it was almost a good film. It just did not quite yeah It didn't quite stick the land there was something that Chloe Joe. Yeah, Chloe Joe

[01:18:30] The doing that I thought was the internals suffered the problem of we need a whole movie to introduce these characters before That was the and too many characters yeah, I don't I don't disagree that has problems, but I not it's a bad movie

[01:18:43] I think Thor Love and Thunder is a good movie But it but it's it's more disappointing because it comes on the tales of Thor Ragnarok And it just squanders so much for a rocket for me is a top five

[01:18:54] Maybe top three. Yeah, I love Thor Ragnarok. And so yeah, so so little Thor Love and other just like squander so much You know what is it? Infinity war is number one for you No end game and game and me is it

[01:19:06] Though I will say I love Winter Soldier a ton. Yeah, so it's badass But those are for me Iron Man 2 Yeah, it doesn't look fucking whiplash I actually I want my bird. I like you want bird. Okay

[01:19:23] That's my Sam Rockwell. You want bird I get it. I took your stuff Took your stuff But I do think though a lot of the directing writing has not been solid in the know Nate your point is is is is Very salient here giving first-time direct big-time directors

[01:19:45] responsibility to independent filmmakers is is Maybe not the wisest choice if you're trying to get something really well made at a high level Yeah, they just don't have the experience and I mean it has worked out

[01:19:55] So like there's plenty of filmmakers who like have stepped up to the play and done a very good job But I still need something that they should be like relying on all the time and you're right

[01:20:02] It is brothers hadn't directed a time before they got this film. No, I mean nothing is big Yeah, nothing as big as yeah as winter soldier. That's that's the trend the Russo brothers kept at it Sure, you know, they got a successful dress

[01:20:14] So what what is a name another independent director that then did a good one like in the MCU? Whoever that might be why don't why doesn't Marvel say okay? We've worked together before this works. We want you to direct another one like the Russo brothers

[01:20:27] I mean well they did do that with the Russo brothers I know but the Russo brothers James Gunn James Gunn did not have a really big career before

[01:20:33] Guardians of Galaxy took a real big chance on him and that turned into a huge successful successful franchise for them till the third one But yeah, I mean I don't disagree. I don't like the so if I look at the latest Marvel films Ant-Man and the Wasp because

[01:20:47] This is gonna be in your wheelhouse a little bit Brad cuz you know these directors a little bit more Peyton Reed Peyton Reed is a very good director and I honestly don't know why they're not tapping into his skills more

[01:21:00] Because he's very good. Well actually another one that I think that they need to give a broader Sandbox to outside of Spider-Man is John Watts. John Watts is a fantastic director

[01:21:13] And I would have loved to have seen him tackle fantastic for or the an upcoming Avengers movie or something like that I know people didn't love this film, but I thought near the cost to do well with the Marvels

[01:21:23] I thought they give the near the concept of created a world there that I like yeah Enjoyed the Marvels. I'm not sure it's like top tier enough for me to be like oh man I want to see a new to cost you Jake Jacob or Jake Shrier

[01:21:37] Directing the Thunderbolts Well, that's you know remains to be seen whether Thunderbolts is gonna be worth a damn so if they're ever gonna make it No, no they were to shot it comes out next Is that a director that is

[01:21:52] Notable I I'm honestly not sure what else he directed I want to say that he was in TV before this. I don't know what his feature film so another independent kind of director

[01:22:00] I don't know if it's independent necessarily cuz like if you want to talk about that like the Russo's did tons of big TV shows Before they came on like they have a community They had a $1 million budget is different than a rest of development

[01:22:11] But if you look at what the Russo's did with on community, especially the paintball episodes You can tell that they had an eye for how to direct action

[01:22:18] I'm just saying like when you're the head of a large company a tour like I mean that's 200 million dollars are 150 million Put it in perspective for you before James Cameron did the terminator. He directed Piranha 3d. I

[01:22:31] Get it and in some directors Prana to run to Brad. I was gonna correct you And some directors could do that right because they're good directors. Yeah, but Prana 3d Brad my thing is Risking with these later one years. There was a Prana 3d before Prana 3d Prana

[01:22:49] Prana 2 Prana 3d Prana 3d Prana 3d double the exact hey Jake Shryer Directed robot and Frank. Oh, that's a fun movie. Yeah, that is nitty movie as well and then paper towns. I like paper towns Yeah, those are the two films

[01:23:03] Towns made of other things in paper like what rock wood rock stone cement good brick. Yep Mud class. I'm hopeful for this one. Sand and fog. We'll see It's gonna be while we get there we're gonna remember the fucking name of that movie

[01:23:20] Hey, this has been go flicks yourself Brad you were here and you were here. Do we have fun? Do we solve the world's problems? I would say that we at least got one out of the way What what what big problem of the world that we solved today?

[01:23:31] Well my favorite Western the fact that you didn't understand Ridley Scott and now you do You know what that was a big problem that I'm glad it's solved and also your favorite Western is now See stickers Game we did not work

[01:23:47] Christ hey, have you seen city stickers to the legend of Curly's gold? I've seen every say, okay So that's that's the 19 on your list. Hey, all you had to do is say yes Everyone because only two

[01:23:59] I live in the city stickers universe. It's true. It's like it's multiverse where Jake Gyllenhaal is now a 50 year old man Could you imagine Jake Gyllenhaal taking over? Yes, I could be amazing yet Redo that with with Billy Crystal as like grandpa who wants you one more?

[01:24:15] Billy Crystal and Jake Gyllenhaal going on a treasure. Who would you play I play Curly like who would be He's dead. I know but no, but it'd be like a young a young Curly's like grandson

[01:24:24] Who's still like tough as nails and it's taken over. Yeah, who is that roll though drive? I mean Josh Berlin Liam Neeson. It was now aged into it He's too old he actually is older than Curly. Yeah Jack Palas was freaking old. He was he was

[01:24:43] Tough tough guy these days. Yeah, that's the old though like oldest right? Yeah, I think Josh Berlin is a great choice for that too young He's older than you think

[01:24:56] Josh Berlin's not even 60 is he so you're talking about you would need to have somebody be like oh Tommy Lee Jones That's okay. That's a great one Did you just see him in public or something

[01:25:10] Oh, I walked up to him is a I cannot sanction your buffoonery. Hey Ben do this math for me Says stickers came out in 1991. Yep Jack Palas was born 1919. What? Christ he was 72. Yeah

[01:25:28] So we need a 72 that's not as old as I thought I mean really Scott's 87 Liam Neeson's pushing it He's probably his mid-60s. What about Arnold? So What are you doing? Where's my gold?

[01:25:45] It got weird it got weird. Whoa worry about it. What the fuck was that I realized I never heard Schwarzenegger Say gold before and I just I just went with the direction This is a free podcast Schwarzenegger doing Borat. I hello. It's me baron I want gold Castle

[01:26:07] So you don't think Clint Eastwood could do it my life Now I want to see a shot-for-shot remake of Borat with our Just get that guy Prostitute and olive Kazakhstan
