I guess we can, like, jump into this at any point then? I you think? Yeah. It's once The water's warm. Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the review review, Retro Spectacus. Clip show. Clip show. That's right. Clip show.

Let's come to this With an immediate Simpsons reference to Retrospecticus. Thank you, Lisa. What the fuck is this? Do you know what this is, Ben? Well, happy 2024.

Yeah. Happy 2024, buddy. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. I haven't seen you since last year.

Yeah. That's probably why you seem so, like, happy and energetic. Yeah. My the energy vampire has been gone. What was I doing in the shadows?

Stealing all of Ben's power. Probably right out front though. Not even in the chat. We we've been doing the show for more than a year. Yeah.

But the first time we did it for a full calendar year was 2023. Yes. But we have a bunch of episodes that we've done. 37 episodes. 37 dicks?

It is a deep catalog already. Wait. One more time? 37 dicks? 7.

In a row? In a row. It's from Clerks. Oh, about the dick sucking. Yeah.

Yes. I remember. Thank you so much. Mhmm. I would prefer someone who sucked 37 dicks.

That's I don't know. The best part after that is the guy Is that bad? The guy who's standing next to the door, like, hears that and, like, starts to follow her. I'm like, wait. Yeah.

I don't know what his problem is, to be honest with you. Right. Yeah. What is this backing it up? Yeah.

We're going through that. It's honestly a small catalog of episodes when you consider podcasts. Sure. And how deep that goes. But some of our favorite moments from the podcast, one liner, some of it's longer form.

We're reviewing the review review. Oh, it's 3 pointed. Right now. And that's what this is about, going back and thinking about the Illuminati, appreciating the Illuminati, loving and honoring the Illuminati, as well as just, like, sitting here and having a good time and going through some of those, like I said, like, funny one liners, weird asides, and I think a thing that was a bit of a surprise for Ben that we're gonna get into in not too long. But, ultimately, what is this?

It's a fucking clip show. You know, classic clip show. Yeah. How are you? How are you feeling about that?

How how do I feel about it? Yeah. How how are you doing, and how do you feel about that as a result or vice versa? Spin it however you want. Yeah.

Sure. So I feel like I'm hot off the presses of watching the Huskies tank in the Oh, boy. In the natty. Other than that, doing well. Seahawks season came to an end.

Winning season. Sure. Unstable ownership situation or stewardship situation. You know, a lot of question marks. We got ourselves into this situation, so we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Rough history when you think about it. Seventies, eighties, nineties. Long rough history of not winning much of anything. We're actually it was actually funny because we're not to get to make this a sports betting. Motivating 8 seasons.

But 5 months old. Exact same position last season. Okay. Yeah. Sure.

And we needed the Packers to lose to get in the playoffs, and we did last year. And then we needed it again this year. And I was like, okay, guys. We we have to be in control of our own fate. So anyway I'm sick of the glitches in the matrix not working out for us.

Too many, you know, too many black cats Should be every year. Strolling by. Fail Mary should be every year. Like like like like like like like like like air air air air that touchdown If y'all could see this guy, it's like one of the one of those things from a horror movie where somebody moves in a way that makes your skin crawl. Yeah.

That was you. I love those. Just now. I know it's good. It's a good visual.

I think of the the haunting at hill no. What am I thinking of? House on haunted hill? House on haunted hill. Yeah.

That was like the arrow. 13 ghosts, ghost ship. That was like that clump. The the old hospital one. Yeah.

The haunting. Yeah. All that. They like that fast movement. Stuff.

Yeah. I I just call it stuff. You see it in the corner, and then suddenly it's in your face. That's I wanna make a joke about that, but I can't take it any solid direction because I'm not good enough. Can you take it a fluid direction?

That's exactly what I wanted to do. That was a beautiful setup, sir. Wait. Yeah. We're so far away.

We should when you're in the Stoods, it's very official. There's a long table. Yeah. Well, usually there's another guest today. Mahogany and oak.

It's got gold on it. Smells of rich mahogany. But we don't have another guest. It's just us. So It's just us today.

There is no guest because all we're gonna do is sit here and bullshit and go through clips of your How are you Paul? Reactions. I'm, I'm okay. My back's a lot better than it has been. I mean, it's not perfect.

I'm sure people are keeping track But at home. Because people are paying a lot of attention to my journey. Yeah. Keeping score at home. That and yeah.

I don't know. I leaned a little bit into video games. One that you had mentioned that I was like, I think I wanna play that. Robocop Rogue City. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Bioshock with a Robocop skin on it. It's great. It's very fun.

That sounds fun. Had a good time. I can't be physically active really right now. So I've had to lean into some of this kind of stuff. Yeah.

Up to and including you know what? Let's not talk about things that I was on watching on Letterboxd. Let's talk about what we were watching Okay. From 2023 specifically. So not what are we watching, but what were we watching?

What were we watching? Let's let him do it. Okay. It's so much better. Yeah.

Okay. So as we come into this, I just wanna say really quickly, we don't do the greatest achievement in filmmaking. We don't do that shit here because because you showed it for the wrong fucking place. If you want that from us, because we're not qualified. There are plenty of awards podcasts that you can listen to.

The variety of award podcast actually is pretty good. Oh, I haven't okay. Yeah. They're much smarter than we are. I'm trying to think of a podcast I really wanna champion.

I really love with Gourley and Russ. Oh, sure. They're really great. I like Mac Gourley. Very, very fun listen.

Ben, I would love for you to kick this off as this was your idea, and you wanted to call it a naughty and nice list. A naughty. And I think it's a great order to go in for me. Yeah. But I'd like you to go first.

You wanna tennis match this? I'll go 1, you go 1. Yeah. Let's do it. Let's do that.

Cool. So naughty and nice of 2023. Naughty not being like good naughty. Naughty being like stinky poopy body. Sexy naughty.

No. Like, naughty like someone someone take a shot in your cereal. Yeah. That guy Somebody did something naughty on your carpet. I've left one obvious one off my naughty list because I think it'll be talked about on this podcast.

So I left that off. That was your surprise. You did know. Surprise. Surprise.

Yeah. Surprise. Surprise. The no the noise show version of Ben's review of the Flash does exist, and you'll get to hear it. At the top, starting off is Ant Man and the Wasp Quantumania.

Never saw it. I've fallen completely off that. I've found it at 2 stars, and I might go lower if I watch it again. Not gonna go too far off on this tangent, but I'm currently reading the reign of Marvel Studios, MCU, which is a book about this thick. That's He's indicating approximately A hard 4.

I want I was gonna say, but I would say it's 10 inches. It's easily 10. Oh, maybe lengthwise. Score and No. I mean, it was, like, 3 and a half 4 inches.

Thick book. Thick book. But, anyway, it's a it's not it's not from Marvel proper. It's from an outside source. They're investigative journalists, and it starts at the beginning beginning of Marvel and kind of, like, goes through As a comic book, like, publisher, etcetera, etcetera.

Okay. That's sort of the the prologue, and then they get into sort of, like, when they become a little bit more of a financially stable company that's, like, licensing their properties, and then when they get into the Kevin Feige era and stuff. Do they go into that at all in the seventies eighties? Yeah. Okay.

Because that is, like, such a weird fucking era for me. Oh, yeah. When you consider Captain America and Fantastic 4 in that era Oh, yeah. Or some of the TV shows Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

They go into a lot. The Wes Craven Swamp thing? The, like, licensing the the Captain America movie Yeah. That With Matt Salinger? That the CEO of Marvel didn't know was being made.

That's probably for the best if you wanted to finish the movie. Oh my god. It's so bad. I highly seen it. I highly recommend the book, but I do not recommend Ant Man and the Moss, Quantumania.

Skip it. I'm on board with you on that one. I'm gonna go with something we may have some crossover. I'm going to stick it to 1. This was on the program.

It's The Exorcist Believer. Mhmm. I was kinda hyped about this. The first tealer teaser was pretty solid. It got into me.

I felt possessed by how good the the teaser was. And how to see I'm a believer. The film, and, no thanks. So I'm gonna stick at 1, I don't believe in nothing no mores. One sack of doorknobs from Yeah.

Jimbo Jones. That's where I'm at. I just I love the first one so much. The third one is this really funny, odd, creepy, wonderful thing. Fucking George c Scott has this monologue about a carp in his bathtub.

And then it's a tasty fish, but it's driving him insane, and it's wonderful. But I should just believe films, father? Do you like going to the cinema? Fucking I tried to find that clip so hard. Not to spoiler, but, my next one is The Exorcist Believer.

Yes. I figured we had crossover here. Yeah. 1.5 on there for me, but might go lower. What a disappointing evening at the movie cinema even though or no.

Daytime as we went together with, Bruce Burrito. Together for Anne. Ben Burris. We call him Bruce Burrito. He might he might make an appearance on this program today.

Oh. We don't know. That's exciting. Bruce Burrito. My next one is Exorcist believer.

What a just don't ever see that movie if you'd have it. I'm gonna jump onto yours, The Flash. Okay. I broke down at a point and watched the bulk of it. I wanna You watched this after my rant.

Yeah. And I Paul is passed out. I watched it high Case back. Alone. And it was one of those things where it was like, it's too dangerous to go alone, take one of these.

And my pen was like, my bright gold beautiful pen saved me and got me through. And it was just really man, Keaton really did not phone it in, which was wonderful. I only really wanna talk about mostly the good things, but also I found it so fucking crazy. And I think it's the first time I've ever said it since. I was like, I have a feeling I'm gonna see Christopher Reeve in that movie, like, months before it came out to you.

Yeah. You did. Yeah. And I was like, and I have no fucking interest in that. And I remember when you said that, I was like, sure.

You would never do that. No. Oh, we're getting a phone call. No shit. I have to take it.

You'll hear this cut in later folks. We're leaving you in suspense. Oh, we're gonna get back to least favorites. Yeah. Ben.

Is it my turn? It is. I think I just did the flash. Right? Oh, right.

Yeah. And oh, you did believer. I did believer. So I've done 2, you've done 2. Correct.

I can go either way now. I give salt burn 2 dirty bathtub rings. Wow. That made your naughty list. I just really I was watching it and I was like, fuck, man.

I just I prefer, like, talented mister Ripley or cool intentions or I haven't seen it yet. There are a lot of comps I can go over. But it's just a movie that feels so much of the shocking moments that occur occur literally for that that's the ends. Okay. It just wants to be shocking.

I have nothing to add to this conversation because I haven't seen it. Yeah. And for me, it's like I'm not terribly shocked. I've watched a lot of fucking movies. Like I do like Emerald Ferrell.

That edgy to me. The movie is fucking gorgeous. Yeah. It's beaut the set direction is amazing. There's so many good things to say about the movie.

It was just not for me. Okay. On the end of my naughty list, I have Fast x. I said forget about it, kid. Yeah.

I saw it in the theater. Oh, boy. I even took a gummy before. Like, this will be a It's still not. Yeah.

It's hot garbage. And I wanna be clear. Like, I don't hate all of them. Like, I think Fast 5 is a pretty fun movie. The one I'm That movie is good.

Yeah. The first one's fun. You know? Tokyo Drift is good. Yeah.

I feel like I don't even know if the term diminishing returns works anymore. It's on this. It's like, for those of you who haven't seen Fast X, I I can't recommend watching it. But if you do watch it, I guess, Jason Momoa is, like, doing some wild shit in that movie. Who direct do you remember who directed?

Lewis Lettier? Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm pretty sure.

I think so. It was either him or no. It was so, yeah, it was Justin Lin originally, and Justin Lin left. Walked away. And Lewis Lettier came in.

So it's a mess. Yikes. Well, I was already gonna pass, so I'll continue to pass. You know what? Let's do our favorites.

Yeah. Can I just say my naughty my bad surprise Oh, yeah? Real quick? Yeah. Just a poopy surprise.

Yeah. I watched Rebel Moon part 1. Oh, no. Yeah. I haven't.

And I've I've seen some negative stuff. Yeah. I'll get her it's a movie that's, like, I'll get around to it is now where it's at for me. It it's one of those things I don't wanna belabor this because I'm not one of those people that just shits on all things Zack Snyder because, you know, a person can make a decent movie, person can make a bad movie. There's nothing whatever.

But It's hard to make something that visually looks as striking as anything that he makes. Sure. Visually. So I gave this movie 2 stars. Just gonna read my letterbox also.

I'm on letterbox at run b and c if you don't know. Please. So my letterbox review. In the voice of Ian Malcolm, eventually, you do plan to have an original idea in your original story. Right?

And I went on to say, honestly, if it wasn't penned by Snyder, I doubt even Syfy Channel produces it. Some decent visuals and action, but not all else not a lot else here. Performers are doing what they can though with underwritten characters. Note, I didn't write I didn't watch this on a plane. Great.

That's I put that in the I didn't watch it on a plane. That's great. I have read a lot that Rebel Moon is pretty derivative of Star Wars, which you and I talked about. Like, to me is kind of derivative of Hidden Fortress at times, which is, like, these things are also derivative of things that are in the Bible. So it's just one of those things, like, how many times has this thing been produced and how widely has it been told?

Yeah. And it's not even that. It's not even there there it is incredibly derivative. It's more, 7 samurai or magnificent 7. Yeah.

Sure. Sure. But the entire movie is just a montage of them getting the crew together. That is the that is the movie. There's nothing else that happens aft like, once they've got the crew together, there's a final showdown, and that that's the movie.

And there's nothing else, like, and each character gets basically one line to introduce himself and then someone dies. And you're like, oh, no. That person that Yeah. Who's who they just died. Oh, no.

Maybe part 2 is gonna be some kind of great payoff because I know that was the way they're setting it up now. It's just like, we had to do this in 2 movies. We couldn't do it in a movie. Yeah. But, anyway, let's let let's move on.

My unpleasant surprise Oh, yeah. I, went and saw Ferrari Oh. The Michael Mann film. And it's fine. It's a fine movie.

It's a 3 star movie for me. I walked away going, I really need to watch a good race car movie. So I watched Ford v Ferrari. Oh, so good. Surround sound at home.

Yeah. Fucking ruled. Yeah. And just fell into the Lamborghini movie, and that was my unpleasant surprise. Surprise.

It was the thing where the movie came out in 2022, and a movie about Lamborghini was so fucking slow that I might as well just put it on my 2023 naughty list, I guess. But I was just very unpleasantly surprised. And I think a big reason is because it's a low budget movie. They can't do a lot of, like, high end racing with crazy Sure. You know, audio mixes and shit like that.

And so it was a thing for me where it's like, I'm coming off the high Ford v Ferrari. And it's not really fair to judge Lamborghini off of that, but the movie's fucking slow. Okay. It's real slow. So a movie based on Lamborghini that's that slow, you can't you can't do that.

Yeah. No. Was he slow? No. No.

Baby Driver. Uh-oh. I like that movie. Love that movie. It's a good movie.

What were your pleasant surprises? What what's on your nice list? You had a nice time. I'm just gonna start off real quick, because it should be obvious on my nice list is Oppenheimer. Sure.

Seen it three times. Obviously, I'm biased. My So we know what you do with your spare time now. Yeah. Well, I'm seeing it again on Wednesday.

Dope. Great. Live orchestra. Oh, yes. Is Ludwig, conducting?

That's fucking cool. Yeah. It's very cool. I'm very stoked. It's just a it's it's a masterpiece.

It really is. So many levels. I'm happy to see it get a lot of kudos, and I've always been a Chris Nolan fan. I think the thing that I've appreciated more and more with the movie after seeing it three times now is that he didn't he didn't he didn't make a biopic movie. And that and, like, that it's a movie that's a that's so dense with text and yet so taut with tension and still plays like a blockbuster is like, that takes fucking skill.

Absolutely. It does. Like, there's it it may be a one of one thing in terms of somebody being able to pull that off the way it was pulled off. And I go on a journey in act 1, act 2, act 3 in Cillian Murphy's eyes. Oh, yeah.

In act 3 as, you know, the story kind of changes and you're going through, am I not American? I did what I did for my country, and now I'm fighting for x, y, or z. What's happening? What's my value as a human being? Am I, like, am I a monster?

Because of the way I devalued human life, etcetera, and my obsession, and, like, and And, like, this whole could, would, should, do, yada yada. The movie's just so good. Yeah. And this whole concept of, like, we're scientists. We're doing this to to do it so we can prove that we can, and we don't actually fully understand what that means when we do it.

And I think we're in the same world right now with, like, AI technology. Like, we're just we're just doing it. Yeah. When we're just and we don't really know what that about it. We don't really know what that means.

It's like nobody watched Terminator. I know. Or, like, I don't know how many fucking movies I could go through. I figured you said it to me, but when I I have a list. With AI, someone had said to me, it's like, if only there was something in pop culture that told us that this was a bad idea.

Yeah. But that movie is very, very, very good. Yeah. So that's mine. Pleasant surprise for me was Dungeons and Dragons.

Oh, that's on my list as well. Oh, great. That's my next one. I give that 4 and a half like goopy face. Me too.

Oh, yeah. It's such a brilliant mix of Yeah. It's so I laugh so hard. Edgar, the skin is hanging off your bounce. That's a different movie.

Dungeons and Dragons pulls off the beauty of a mix of practical Uh-huh. And digital effects. Things that are probably shot in a volume. Sure. Are they?

Yeah. Like, it does so many of these things so well. And it delivers on what the title sets me up for is, do you want to go on an adventure? Because I'm going to take you. Yeah.

Because that's what I expect from that title. And the script The script is so good. So good. It's really good. It feels like, I mean, a, obviously, game night's an awesome movie.

It feels like the game. And that's the thing. Like, there would be a thing that happened, and I remember I was watching it. Well, Jess and I were watching it. The graveyard scene.

The graveyard was fucking amazing. Oh. That's the thing that feels like the game to me. Yeah. That is totally.

And like something would happen. You're like, oh, shit. He rolled a 2. Yeah. Or oh, good.

Like he rolled a a 18 stealth or whatever, and that's why they made and so you can just and as a writer at writing that, I'm sure that was so much fun. Oh, man. To be able to like find those outs or find those ins. And I have to say that, Chris Pine is one of those actors that is so funny. I really enjoyed him.

His time being here. So dry. Yeah. And that Great Kirk. Yeah.

But those writers are so good, like, because they wrote for Jason Bateman in Game Night, similar, like, terms of comedy, dry comedy Yeah. With Chris Pine. Yeah. Yeah. And I just I yeah.

I also made my list. The the yeah. The graveyard scene. I have to mention the 3 corpses they arise are 3 comedians from a troop called Antidonna Mhmm. Which is an Australian comedy group on, Netflix.

And they're they get little tiny moments, but they're very funny. It's that scene is just it tickled me in just the right way. Well, I guess it's to me since we both we shared that one. Yeah. I'm gonna say air.

Oh, nice. That almost didn't my list. Delivered for me. Yeah. I have seen Howard White work and know people that have worked with Howard White intimately.

As well as people people who have brushed elbows with Phil Knight and all sorts of people, Jeff Johnson, whatever, through Nike. And if you've read Shoe Dog written by Phil Knight, or if you know much about Phil Knight, or the genesis of the Nike story, he's a character. And, the more I thought about the kind of aloof performance that, Affleck gives intentionally to that character, the more it grew on me. And I'm a fucking first for I'm a fucking sucker for needle shots. And I Dude, are you a heroin addict?

Maybe. Oh, I'm a sucker for needle shots. Crack cocaine. I need that COVID vaccine 3 times. I want it again.

I want it again. Give me again. I am a big fan of needle drops and drone shots. Sure. And that movie does that a few different times.

It's a good movie. It's so well made. It's really, really fun. And speaking of, like, dry humor, it is chock full of it, and it perfectly casts Bateman. Yeah.

So really fun movie. So glad that Damon got a nom for it. I thought he deserved one for Oppenheimer. I thought he was incredible in Oppenheimer. Yeah.

Another movie that was a pleasant surprise for me, and I think we might differ on this one, but a pleasant surprise that I threw on on Netflix was leave the world behind. I enjoyed that movie quite a bit actually. Yeah. It's got 3 and a half buck movie. Sam Esmail, famous for mister Robot and also did a little thing called Homecoming, which had Julia Roberts.

I just think his scripts are so weird, and there's something to them that shouldn't work and somehow for me do. So, like, for instance, in that movie, the deer. Mhmm. Never explained. Nope.

Doesn't need an explanation. It's so fucking weird and nuanced, and I love and I know a lot of people hate it. I love the ending. I did too. I thought the ending was fucking great.

Yeah. I the kid, the only person who deserved to really earn guaranteeing getting what they want and feeling safe. Sure. It happened. Yeah.

I'm satisfied. Yeah. And Oh, wow. I'm gonna have to put a spoiler alert before I show this now because it's me. It it played to me, like, it's kinda like the shit that I'm just I jones to I jones for.

It's the Black Mirror esque worlds. I I I love fucking sci fi that just goes that hard. I have a question for you. Yeah. When you're sick, do you feel like your cat knows it?

Yeah. I do too. And so for me, when something's wrong, I do think a lot of animals instinctually know. It's like a lot of the time when a deer is being hunted, it has an idea it's being hunted. Sure.

And I think there's a lot of different ways you can interpret what's happening with the Yeah. The the wildlife in general. Fun movie. And, yeah, I think it's well cast. Yeah.

And, yeah, that that made my list. For me, without going on for faves, for the nice list will be, Spider Man across the Spider Verse. I knew it was gonna be a planned, like, trilogy from before the ending was fine for me. Yeah. It didn't bug me.

I prefer the first one, but I loved the second one. Wow. A lot of editing of me. Second one, as usual. The big surprise surprise, like, the nice surprise for me was quiz lady on Hulu.

Oh. It didn't always surprise for me was quiz lady on Hulu. Oh. It didn't always feel like a movie that was made for streaming Oh. Which was really nice because I do feel like that happens a lot.

And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's kind of its own genre Sure. Without going too deep into it. I don't know. Yeah.

But the movie is very sincere. It's grounded. It never asks for rope that it doesn't earn. And Will Ferrell is very, very charming. And I didn't know he was in that.

A very dry performance. I believe he produced as well. He also produced May December, which is a movie that I really liked. Yeah. I want to say that.

That was my biggest surprise. Then without talking about the fucking greatest technical movie that's ever been made, which is arguably Oppenheimer Yeah. What was your favorite movie from 2023? Yeah. My favorite movie surprised me.

It is Godzilla minus 1. Oh, go do go on, please. I mean, you can go back to the last episode I went on about it in the, Christmas, office party episode, but it I I as long as it's in the theater, go see it in the theater. It it demands that. It was made on, what, 30,000,000, I think, and it is one of the best looking movies you'll ever see, and the script is phenomenal.

I highly, highly recommend it. I really wanna see it. Yeah. You? I'm gonna tell you mine.

Go, Paul. I really love The Holdovers. Oh, I yeah. I wanna see it. I haven't seen it.

There are movies that technically, yes, are better or whatever. But my immediate, like, letterboxed review about Paul Giamatti was award worthy. Fucking great. Yeah. Masterwork.

I wanna see it really bad. And then saw he got the Golden Globe and then went to In N Out. And I was like, great. Love it. Masterwork.

Wait. He won the Golden Globe then went to In N Out? Yes. Oh, good for him. Yes.

Yeah. As a fellow Paul, yes. Yes, sir. Do what you like. Go off, king.

Why not? The cast in that movie in general is great, but the main thing is without spoiling anything for you Thank you. You really get in that 19 seventies pocket. Like, you get in that feel hard. Heard.

Horde. The performances are all stellar. I'm so excited to watch it. But Masterstroke by Giamatti, personal opinion, great script. And like I said, just like that seventies winter toasty feel.

Like very sardonic, very, like, dry technicolor. Like, it's great. Cool. I'm excited to watch it. Yeah.

Had a great time. So everybody, you know, in winter, you wanna stay warm. This episode, our clip show, was brought to you by undergarments. I don't wear them. That's a lifestyle choice I can't afford to make.

Our sponsor, they make boxer briefs. Undergarments. Can I put them on right now? Style choice. You can.

Okay. Let the plums breathe. It's okay. It's alright. They were looking a little too purple there.

Yeah. Welcome back, everybody. It's the retrospectagus. Welcome back. Welcome back.

Welcome back. Welcome back. We know why you come here. Hardcore nudity. No.

We're not doing a full on Simpsons clip show. It's come to this. But you know what you do have to have? I'm Troy McClure. If you want cred as a podcast, hot takes.

Hot takes. Different from hot snakes. A little bit. It's a 3 and a half pans movie for me out of 5 pans. Like, I really enjoy that movie.

I'll rewatch it several times. Probably close represent. Probably about about 4 Rufio's for me. Sure. That's good.

Yeah. That's a high rating. Rufio. Uh-huh. This is a pro Rufio show.

So if you're not into Rufio, get the fuck out. There's the door. Smell you never. But outside of that, like, it's like all the very bright one of my favorite directors is Stanley Kubrick. I know.

Did you know that I knew that? I felt like you knew that. I'm not sure. I wonder if I would ever try to use that to my advantage. Let's find out.

I liked it. I did. I knew Ben looked at me and smiled like, hey, man. Thanks. Yeah.

Like the like the t rex and the raptor in Jurassic World. Okay. We cool, bro? Then they did a fist bump. Okay.

Here's where I'm gonna start breaking down all my bullshit and then we're gonna we gotta catch up. Yeah. And then we'll talk about the movie. Hey, everyone. I want you to know these movies came out in 1992.

Unforgiven, The Crying Game, A Few Good Men, Howard Zand, Sentable Woman, Aladdin, Malcolm X, Chaplin, Hoffa, Glengarry, Glen Ross, Lorenzo's Oil, My Cousin Vinny, A River Runs Through It, Basic Instinct, Last of the Mohicans, The Player, and Under Siege. And one other movie that I wanna mention that was also on this very short list of the 2 best movies, in Kubrick's opinion, were Husbands and Wives, Woody Allen. And this movie, he thought white men can't jump was the best movie of 1992. Stanley Kubrick? Yes.

Okay. He thought this movie was phenomenal and that the stakes all felt very real. That nothing ever felt out of pocket or weird. Like it all just kind of made sense, and they kind of tied everything up really nicely. Where you kind of end up at the beginning again where you're kind of a deer in the woods.

Like a babe in the woods I should say. So I just wanted to drop that little mhmm. I like it. This is all verifiable. Okay.

Man, what a loss in cinema. Oh, boy. Like, what would have speaking of AI, what do you think AI artificial intelligence would have been had Kubrick been able to complete it? I don't know. What would David Lynch be like on 400 milligrams of to I don't know.

What could steroid? Like, every day. Yeah. That's awesome that that we can figure this out. We're coming into 3 clips from 3 separate episodes all with fucking great one liner.

Where I'm from? Back in like 96 and it's been going strong there. Bit of a brag. No. That's not a brag.

I'm from Seattle. That part's the brag? Yeah. Oh. I think that's a great brag.

But yeah. I'm from Vancouver. Washington. Yeah. No one's ever sung it.

High school football, JV. So, yeah, they've they've expanded. He gets, like, all these trying to be charming and he's, like He's the horniest man in the world. Every He's the horniest man in the world. Every actor.

Photo and he wants to fuck it, and that's his Based on the origin of old woman with watch and somehow ends up in this place and he's like, yep. That's the chick. Got a boner. No matter what it takes. No matter what it takes.

God a boner. That's what I kept taking away from this movie. I was like, he's just the horniest man in the world. Let's see. Neon white men can't jump on steroids, though.

Like, you are the fucking terminator right now. You are the pink assists running up to the screen here. Oh my god. I'm never gonna not think about that. I'm so glad I played that for you.

The way he says that, it kills me. I love it. You know, I gotta say Running up to the screen here. Ben Yeah. I didn't know that you were kind of a jealous guy.

We had we had a little bit of a jealous theme. There we Happened for a couple episodes. Is this different than our, like, our horny theme that happened a little later? During an orgy, people could I'm not horny in an orgy. Get jealous.

Big info. You know, Paul, sometimes you and I say the same thing together, like, we finish each other's sandwiches. Oh shit. Oh no. We accidentally did it.

I know. No. It's like the last thing we're it's like we're twinning. Like a mile of notice. We were like, so it's more of that.

Twinning is like doing the same thing when you're winning. It's exciting. Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing hearing. Let's listen.

Let's do it. I'm all ears. In terms of I'd have to look at the IMDB. I guess, she's probably English. Well, the weekend, top 5.

The same weekend that it was released. Number 1 was this movie. Number 2, Dangerous Minds. Number 3, you ready with me, Paul? 3, 2, 1.

Mortal Kombat. That was beautiful. Thank you. Did you wait. Viggo.

From Desperado. Desperado. Desperado. Is that It's a buddy movie. It is.

Yeah. I totally see the movie as a 2 hander. There's no way that either of them, if they're wrapped up in this, could could succeed without the other. And I agree with Zeus and Mike. Dude, you need me more than I need you.

Yeah. So bye. And the fact that Zeus sticks around is fucking awesome. Well, I suppose we should take a break. Yeah.

We should probably, like, hydrate. Let's stretch. Let's I'm gonna talk to my I'm gonna talk to the folks in my corner. I'm gonna talk to Mick. This episode is brought to you by lawyers.

Whatever it was that Charlie said. No guts, no glory. Dude, that's what I wanna do. Hello. I'm Peter Sellers.

Hello. I'm Peter Sellers. And I want Peter Sellers. I'm Paul. I'm I'm Ben.

I'm Matt. Here we are. We really we really rehearsed this. Why is this podcast always 2 hours? 3 hours?

Stop 3 hours. Is it because of this Should I start posting the envelope? Should we do a 3 hour episode at some point? We've never done a 3 hour episode. It feels like 3 hours for people.

Oh my god. At minimum. Jesus. That mat sure is a scamp. What a funny guess, man.

Quite the little scamp. You know what? You what? Speaking of things being a little scampy. Oh, a little scamp.

You know? Things feel a little little moist. Oh, boy. A little little horny in here. Kevin Costnery moist ality.

It gets it it gets weird. Yeah. It gets a it does get a little weird, but it also gets a little sexy. In in, like, in, like, post sex disgust sort of way. Producers were Alan Ladd Junior, rest in peace.

You do know him, Ben. The Ladd Company produced Blade Runner. As well as the January man. Oh, you had to include that. Because my time is not valuable, and so I included it.

This is a movie that Paul if you ever follow Paul in Letterboxd, you'll see of just a a cornucopia of films that you're, like, what are you doing? But, you know, it's it's a it's a man of the people, and you gotta like, you have to Thank you. You need the richness of life. How can you how can you appreciate the finer things if you do not also indulge in the rougher things? Yeah.

If you don't also watch me or the farce, and, like, we we keep saying precision and perspective. Yeah. Like Brought to you by perspective. Yeah. Also, the perspective that Christopher Reeve is a sex criminal.

Yeah. Because he's worried. I love so we talked about the physicality of Christopher Reeve in Somewhere in Time. I love his physicality in this where it changes when he gets a nosebleed and the way, you know, changes his walking and the shuffling Yeah. When he's carrying something, when he trips over a phone.

Like, wow, what a gifted physical actor this man was. Yeah. Like, when he's trying to rub the thing off his pants that he thinks is gonna eat through the fabric and then thusly through everything Yeah. Is so great. And I just I feel like I didn't give enough credit when Burris was kind of showering credit on the physical performance in Somewhere in Time.

I'm not reconsidering that movie at all. No. Sure. No. No.

No. This isn't where it's June 27th. It's just a coincidence. Is it is it though, Paul? Is it a present, or is it a top secret?

Past movie, I would. Oh, you're meeting Rudy. Hi, Rudy. He's meeting. He's so handsome.

Did he walk off? Yeah. He's right there. Hi, Rudy. Do you smell Lulu?

Flicking his tail back before. This is a big big deal to me. I would 100% recommend a person watch this because it has so much going for it. But I I not gonna move my rating because the things that are bad about it are so aggravating that I think they almost, like, kind of eclipse the good. Like, at the end Yeah.

He goes there, and he starts mashing his hands together awkwardly. And he says, not ready. It's like, yeah. We get it, dude. Like, the things that are bad about this movie are so bad that I can't, like, enjoy the good about it.

But I would totally recommend somebody watch it, but I'm not budging on my radar. So you're staying at a 1? I'm staying at a 1. I was trying to think of a different visual over Chris Tucker counting from 1 to 10, but I don't know. One one rod.

A big hard rod. What? A big white penis. A red a red swollen sexually skinny red. Rod.

One guy with half of his head shaved. How about that? Oh, sure. That's super cool now though. It is.

That's true. Very LA. I'll go first. I watched just because I'm passionate What are you what are you watching now? Upset about it.

Right now, I'm watching you. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. You're upset. Yeah.

But I went and saw the movie The Flash in the theater. I I can quite honestly say I think it might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Holy shit. Oh, wow. Sheesh.

There's a lot of competition for that. That's very true. It's really bad. He Ben confirmed my worst fear. And as soon as I found out, my worst fear about the movie was in fact, like, the Flash Do you mind if I spoil it, do you care?

Not at all. Oh, boy. I don't think anybody or audience is gonna give a shit either. No. Probably.

But who knows? We'll see. Maybe there'll be some fun noises. There are the Flash spoilers. Fast forward if you want.

It's based on Flashpoint, which is a comic series that I've read. I really liked when I was into comics. It's basically nothing from Flashpoint. The only thing it took takes from it is that Barry Allen goes back in time to save his mom's life, and that fucks up time. The Flashpoint comic is great.

If you want a actual story that goes further into, like, the human condition and what it means to, like, fuck with your own own fate. That's what you should go and do and not watch the movie The Flash. The movie The Flash is just a we've reached max capacity with the multiverse story. Mhmm. And where, for me, the Spider Verse movies succeed, and I think that the even the MCU Spider Man movie succeeds to a degree, is because that we're, like, while they do use, especially the MCU one, does use, like, legacy actors, it's still more centric around, like, a human story.

And, like, it feels it feels like a it feels like it like, the the story naturally progresses not because of the multiverse but through this and this is using the multiverse to progress the story to a point where you're like, I don't give a fuck about any of these people anymore. Right. It's not really Michael Keaton's like, it's not the Tim Burton Batman that we know. Know. It's not.

It's like Right. As soon as I saw him in the trailer, I was sad because I knew it would be bad. Yeah. And it's like you had you they brought him out of retirement to put this costume back on and it's for a shitty movie. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's an IP cash grab. You know. They're like, oh, nostalgia, IP, here, here's what you want. And it's like, well, I do want I do love my Michael Keaton Batman.

This is not the Michael Keaton Batman. And also, it's like there's a piece of fan service to the outgoing regime for DC where they're like, well, we have to do this for these folks and, like, tie off all these ends or whatever it might be Yeah. Because it didn't go the way they had planned. I also just find it funny how so many celebrities and such, like, came out and were like, this is one of the greatest movies that's ever been made in it. There was a really huge pre campaign to, like they were talking about the greatest ending one of the greatest endings ever and all this stuff.

There was, like, buzz out there. And I was trying to avoid so much. But, again, my worst fears were confirmed. Yeah. The CG is horrible, but that the the Paul's worst fear is this, is that there's a point where, for some fucking reason, we see all these planets, all these worlds of all of these different DC properties.

So they show us on a on a planet that's made of, like, black and white. The story of his death is, like, woah. Yeah. And, like, terribly CG'd. Then they show us and like, standing side by side.

Clearly, like, taken from their movies, put into another spot. They show us fuck that never got made from Superman Lives, where he's fighting a giant spider, the one that Kevin Smith wrote that Tim Burton was supposed to direct. Yeah. It serves no purpose. Like, it doesn't serve any purpose to anybody in the story.

It only serves purpose to be, like, here here's here's this. Oh, you know this. Yeah. Key. And it's like, go fuck yourself.

That sounds That doesn't make a movie good. This is very fired up. I've read this graphic novel. It is excellent. I understand why you are upset.

But also just like oh, and here's the here's the real kicker. The very end of the movie. It's gonna be okay. So, you know, like, he he gets he gets end up in Michael Keaton's. He has to go back.

He decides not to kill saves his mom, and he resets the timeline or whatever. Except is no longer Batman in the world that he comes back to. Okay. Do you wanna know who is? Great.

Sorry for the spike there, everybody. There to try and kick off a new Batman. It's yucky. I feel like they wanted so badly for Christian Bale to play that part. Oh, no.

No. No. But Christian Bale was like, I'm not getting out of bed for more than, like, what, however much, $5,000,000. Give me $50,000,000 and 20 points of profit participation to do that piece of shit. How much they for that one scene.

Oh, 7,000,000 or some crazy number, I'm sure. Anyway, don't save your money. Don't don't see that movie. Done. Well Moving on.

Iced Tea is gonna be really mad at me. Should not do that. Yeah. This episode is brought to you by Iced Tea. Not not any nothing to do with the wrapper.

Just iced tea. Just delicious and In all its forms. Here's a weird tip. Yeah. Go half iced tea, half lemonade.

That's something I do that I came up with. That up? You made that up? I did. Did you make that up while you were Paul Palmer.

It's a Paul Palmer. It's a Laura Paul Palmer. Laura Palmer. Brought to you by Sheryl and Fenn as iced tea. Well, we're gonna take a break here because we have to we have to go to our iced tea sponsor Overlords.

Yeah. And we'll be back in a second after they tell you whatever they're gonna say. Refreshing. Crisp. Yum.

Vestron. Interesting. Which no longer exists. So 1988. It's rated PG.

Are you kidding me? I knew it. You are kidding me. It's PG? I have a question.

I wanna ask you guys a question. Before before I get too far into this, I wanna ask you all a question. I'm I I legitimately wanna ask you this. Did I watch a pornographic movie? I don't know.

I was trying to be like, was I was I how There's a point my husband and I were watching it last night, and he, he we were watching it, and then he was like, I'm so sorry. I have to rewind this. When she's in her bikini sunbathing See. Yeah. You can see her pretty big hair and her nipples.

Yeah. It's, like, the part that I ever bought it. This woman just threw. Did you make me watch a pornographic film? I think maybe.

It's certainly the horniest movie I've seen in a while. Great to have gotten to watch a little bit of porn for at work. We should be able to watch a little. And you couldn't see the physical little spice on that, but it was nice. We already know the subject.

We know what the name for this episode is. Be able to watch a little bit of porn. I I really wanted it to be immaculate vibes or non tainted vibes like pure moods, but the dollar store version. I But here we are. The other the other question I have before I keep going It's an enigma now.

If it wasn't a porn, shouldn't it have been? Yeah. Great question. If it were 20 minutes and 3 inches longer or 20 minutes longer I don't know what to think anymore. Oh my god.

3 inches longer. Wow. You know no. But I do think What's that? Is the movie just called Casper?

Is it called okay. Just Casper. I walked out of that into Die Hard With A Vengeance. That's right. I didn't remember the Dan Aykroyd of it, but I had a little squeezy of the the is it the burping ghost or farting ghost?

Squirting. He just Did squirt water? He's not squirting. That's last week's episode. It The squirting.

It squirts. It moans. It vibrates. Good day, VHS Village. No.

It's his uncle that I think burps. Because I had a squeezy and it had, like, this weird smell that would come out of it. Right. Gross. Yeah.

It was gross. Fun. Fun. For kids. Gross.

Have fun. For kids. It's like porn for kids. Squirty, squeezy, squeeemy. You member?

That's what a member does too. Squirty, squeeemy. That whole thing. Yeah. But that's that's what this whole podcast is about.

Didn't remember Dan Aykroyd. Didn't remember that that ghost could squirt. Squirt so hard. But also, we had to member like Batman Returns, Waterworld. How did you really feel?

Do you remember? Filled the same character slash Little Shop of Horrors, which the original film starred Jack Nicholson. The original film starred Jack Nicholson? Yeah. The one, that came out in the sixties pre the Rick Moran.

Before the musical. Steve Martin. Yeah. I believe so. What the musical is based off of.

Right. Crazy. But we got both of the some villains out of the way here because we haven't said what Mike brought to us yet. That's true. It's a nice tease.

It's definitely on the title of this episode. Yep. I still like to I like to add the fake suspense. They definitely clicked play on it knowing what movie we were talking about. But yeah.

Sure. Hard man's refund. Let's pretend like we're fuck it, Paul. Oh, good. Yeah.

Exactly. Fuck it. Mike, what movie did you bring us? I brought the 1992 classic. I liked it.

Very, very good movie. So When you saw it back then, what would you have said your review or your ranking out of 5 would have been back when you first saw it? 5 out of 5 mannequin. 5 out of 5 mannequin. I love that.

Yeah. Paul? Yeah. You're really cracking the whip here. Yeah.

I give I give this movie 4 out of 5 chips. Dad, save yourself. 4 out of 5. That man was doing a walk in impression in front of Christopher Walken, and I live for it. I think he's fucking great at it, frankly.

I think he's really good. The guy's such a doofus. He's man, he's Is Match Shrek supposed to be Trump? How do they have do they have us on speed dial? Does Billy Zane work for them?

I am he just rappelled on the roof. He just rappelled down. And, by the way, I'm one of those people, before we move on really quick, I got, a residual check that broke down a few different things and one of them was, like, negative 8¢ and I'm, like, why the fuck do I owe any money? What's happening? What do you do with that?

Like, what do you, how do you pay that back? No. It so it was a part it was a part of a multi piece credit. Okay. So it was, like, deducted from the money that was paid.

Like What was your total amount? Oh, it like, $9.70. Have I ever shown you I I literally got a residual check for for 2¢. I'm not joking. Go to residuals, from the TV show Berry and get yourself a beer for it.

Like, the algorithm here is broken. It cost you more to send me this. I was just gonna say. Yeah. The paper and the postage, what are you doing?

It makes no sense to me, whoever. What is happening? It's a like surprise, surprise. This is what residuals are now. The strike was necessary.

Welcome back, everybody. This is the other thing. We don't have impressions. Ben, do you do you have an impression you wanna do? Anything?

Yeah. This is my impression of Paul. 3, Freddy got fingered, middle. Hold on. That was me.

In the church. And I gave her Yes. I I gave her I gave the statue, like, the Charlie Brown specifically, smart. What does he father Carys finds in the church? Well, and even in that moment, like, you know, no music.

Flowers are being dropped. It's very, like, serious. It feels very somber, and we see the desecrated statue. And even in that moment, this movie is, like, kind of funny to me at times. Like, it has moments of levity whether they're on purpose or not.

Yeah. But it's like you see the statue, and whoever dude did it or whatever happened or why, for a second, you're kinda like, Like, it's like it's just you drew it, Burris, and it's got, like, ridiculous, like, Madonna Cone brought to you. Well, that's that's what's in the that's what happened. Yeah. And it's kind of and it was like demon feels just mischievous it feels like it's from gremlins.

Yeah. The one thing I was trying to do while I was watching this film was trying Lot of people give. He gives. He gives. Don't project that on me.

Apparently, they had it, Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Rebecca Hall. I've never heard of it. Weekend top 5, this. How to train your dragon, enjoy that movie. Date night, The backup plan.

Mhmm. And furry what the fuck is furry vengeance? I wish I looked it up, but I Is it Jim Henson thing? I don't I think it's CG. I think it's a is that oh, is that the one where they're, like, squirrels?

Yeah. I think you're thinking about the edge. Internet? I am. I don't know.

Squirrels versus volcano. No. That's Freddy versus volcano, you said. I was like, yeah. The one where Freddy kills Meg Ryan.

That was it. Freddy v Batman. RTV Dawn of volcano. RTV, when I turn off our PlayStation, has, like, these weird TV channels that it connects to. Right?

And yeah. And there's this channel that's just bad, like, bad bad bad bad sort of horror movies. But there's this movie called Airplane versus Volcano. It's real. Is I have a question.

It's like No. I know. But if you were to look at the producer, is it Asylum? Because Asylum made Sharknado Yeah. I know.

They still do a check or a town. It's a different person. No. No. It's a different person.

I looked it up. The whole it's just those movies. Like like, so many of them. Wow. Hey.

Here we are. This one's me. So you know what I wish Boris would have done before showing me that fucking awful thing he drew? What? Was ask me if I wanted to see it.

Ask my permission. Yeah. Can I show this to you? Yeah. Answer would have been no.

No. Right. But here we are. Yeah. Did I wanna let you in?

Did you? Yeah. I did. Consent is hot. Consent is sexy.

And then z zoukals. Zoukals? Like the 2 biggest gossips in town. Mike Wazowski. Parking officer Steve.

Robowski. Because they're all named Steve. Hey, Paul. Let me try that again without popping it. Because I popped the p.

Don't pop the p. Yeah, buddy. Hey, Paul. Hey, buddy. Can I, can I come inside?

Me? It it is appropriate to ask. I mean, yeah. First time for everything. But, yeah.

As usual, of course. I like to ask. I like to be invited inside. I really appreciate it. Well, hey, now that you're here, you know, sometimes on this program Mhmm.

We besmirched director's cuts. Mhmm. Yep. It's And sometimes we herald director's cuts. Yeah.

I think Blade Runner's the best that's the best one. You know what? I would argue that we've had a couple of the greats on here. Jamie Henwood Yeah. And Matthew Foskett.

Matthew Foskett's director's cut of our What Are We Watching Yeah. Spooky season. Listen up. It's really something. Watching, who's gonna buy you a dime, baby?

What am I watching? Let's get to debate debates. We did Die Hard. We did Alien v Aliens. We have more hot takes for you.

Before we get into those hot takes, we had a call. We got a phone call. We had a call with Bruce, quotations, Ben Burris Burrito. Yep. And, he had some rough stuff to go over.

So hard to pick. But the way I did it was, you know, and I I probably rate them about the same for different reasons, like, different points, but they all add up. But here, I'd say that Alien is a better constructed film, while Alien is a more thrilling adventure and Let me put it this way, because it's still not definitive. What would you rather watch again? What has more repeat value?

Like, what's more satisfying for you? That's but that's that's not the that's not what I was going on here. Also, but, like, my point is I I'd say Alien is the better constructed film, and that's while Aliens is more thrilling, but I'd say, Alien is is better by a ghosts. So your final answer is alien. It's alien.

Yes. Okay. Well, I'm so upset that I have to edit so much of that out. Thank you so much for calling. Chris, that was awesome, dude.

Thank you so much. Yeah. Thanks for listening to that podcast episode and watching and everything. And thanks for calling in. Oh, yeah.

Dude, it's it says a lot to, like, us picking such a great series to, like, kinda kick that off for spooky season that it came down to a single we went back through every single guest Yeah. And said, what is your preference? And this guy took it upon himself to rewatch both films not knowing he was the deciding And listen and listen to the episode. What a guy. Yeah.

Well, happy New Year, buddy. I wanted to hear the arguments too in case Sure. I love it. I love it. You did it the right way.

Points. Yeah. And I think, again, we're we're we're we're comparing 2 perfect children. Yeah. So Exactly.

That's why it's it's so hard to choose, and that's why my answer sounds like it's like, well, both. But but it just yeah. Better constructed. These are just, like, a little bit higher up. Cool, buddy.

It's one of the weird, like, ultimate companion pieces where one truly cannot exist without the other. Yeah. They truly cannot. Happy New Year, buddy, and I hope to see you soon. Love you, buddy.

Love you too. Alright. See you. See you. Okay.

But I am gonna edit some of that. Sure. It was an 8 minute call. Sorry, everybody. Clip show's canceled.

Enjoy Perris going on. But everyone, I will admit it. Ben wins the debate debate. You mind if we hear some tunes? Do I admit Alien is a better film?

No. Not at all. I don't think Not at all. I don't think anything was gonna change either of my minds. Not at all.

Except for maybe the lashing or two. You won the debate to me. Thank you. I, tip my cap to thee. Oh, thank you.

I literally did, y'all. Movies liking the movie Star Wars. Do you like the movie Star Wars? No. You don't like Star Wars, do you think?

The first one, episode 4, it's fine. Would you say Love it. Would you or even It's fine. The franchise. Yeah.

The It's fine. Sure. Would you say that because of its success, it it's it's ripping off Kurosawa? I mean, I have seen Hidden Fortress, so yes. You think it rips off so so you think it the the the success of Star Wars rips off Curacao?

No. I mean, the success of Star Wars is its own thing, but, like, in terms of, like, the wipes or the stories of the droids being the same story as the 2 main characters in Hidden Fortress as well as a lot of the comedic beats and stuff, Like, yeah, that movie is, like, very strongly inspired by Hidden Fortress. I would throw out that you don't have to be the first to be the best. I that wasn't my argument. No.

No. No. I'm just saying, like, my my point of view is continues to be. No. I think I feel like you guys are putting words in my mouth.

I was not? Put a lot more than words in your mouth. Oh. Like, maybe like a newspaper, like a Time Magazine. Yeah.

Suffolk is anything being, like, a direct correlation to it because I would throw out because you were talking about Ozark earlier. Like, so breaking Well, I know what you turn into this podcast for. Oh, yeah. What? You're here for annual corn growth numbers.

Holy shit. You actually didn't know what I tuned into this for. Yeah. I know. Because that's what we're here to give you.

Okay. Like, now? Right now. Are you ready to listen? Olioa or is that right?

Olioa? Yeah. I don't know if he's in that or not, to be honest. I'd have to check. And so then we see him just working in the field.

Immediately, the voice. Yeah. Immediately, the movie just does not fuck around. No. It's it's chopping you right in.

And then I really quickly circle back because Yeah. So Costner had a start date of June, but he had a firm stop date of August something because he had to do the movie revenge. So they wanted to get all the corn stuff. Seen that forever. There's somebody else who's kinda big in that.

I can't remember. So what they did was they shot all the interiors first because they had to have the corn grow. Well, it didn't grow. By the time that they wanted it to be grown, it was gonna be up at at his shins, and that's not big corn. So then they had to irrigate the entire farm, and and they were in the middle of a huge drought.

Nobody in Iowa was getting corn. They were all pissed at them. I was gonna say they couldn't just ship it in from somewhere else. Plant it. By the end of it fully grown?

By the second time you see him in the corn, Costner is walking on apple boxes because that irrigated water has grown that corn so high, it's taller than Kevin Costner. And he's walking on apple boxes to just be at the right height of it. Wow. Thank you so much, Roman Empire, for irrigation. Well, now I'm thinking about the Roman Empire.

That's all I think about. Oh, god. I'm chubbed. I'm chubbed. We gotta stop.

So he so he says, Howdy. Well, I started with his voice, so I'm gonna just lean into it more. We gotta lean into it. Is that really the move? I think we all I think you gotta lean into it too.

Lean into it. Everybody. I'll lean in. I'll leave the bed. So whatever.

Fuck it. You're great. Whatever you're whatever you're in, you would have done that great. If you were in those movies, you would if it's I'm so sorry. You're great.

He's like, you're right. You deserve this. So take it. Here's the question for you. It belongs to you anyway.

If that was originally Alec Baldwin Mhmm. Who was the other person that he was mistaking Alec Baldwin for? Harrison Ford. Billy Baldwin. You're fucking Billy Baldwin, aren't you?

Get off my phone. Like, a clear and present danger loved you. That's your that's your you're amazing. Because they were both Jack White. Exactly.

That's great. Literally. That's that's great. Get off my wife. You'll be hunting for her right October for a long time, brother.

Where did that He can't talk in. He wants a whole COVID. Yeah. That was crazy. Well, we have to talk about racism.

Gawker is so nice. Like slow golf clap that. That's that's good. Okay. Accents and racism all in one.

The and burrito spell. She did that burrito. I did have a Hulk Hogan beat it buddy, though. It's true. You beat it.

You beat it to Hulk Hogan? We're happy. Beat it really good. The, like, little, like, stuffed it. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pat calls him beat him beat it buddies.

Beat him hard. I think that's a different thing. It's different. Bored. That was the ad.

Come and beat me, buddy. This is a good accent. This episode is taking a real turn. The the dance to see my girlfriend at the time for, like, the holidays. So were you in the Traveled by bus?

I have never traveled by bus other than, like, inside the city. Right? I took a bus in college. I did a bus from Seattle to Montana, to see my girlfriend at the time for, like, the holidays. So were you in the production of The Patriot starring Steven Seagal from 1999?

No. I was in the production of The Patriot starring Mel Gibson. You're my child. 1990 2001? I was gonna say 99.

2001 probably is right there. Who knows? But they get on this bus. Yeah. And I have and the bus.

I feel like now I don't know what bus is like now, but I will tell you, like, station of the l. And the first thing he says, like, Dell, what are you doing here? Magical this whole situation was. He never did. Like, what where are you going?

What are you doing? What are you doing? And he and he goes back, and the first thing you see Dell is just sitting in the station of the l. And the first thing he says is like, Dell, what are you doing here? So I cried.

Yeah. I can't think in the last several years in when I watch this movie when that happens that I don't cry. Yeah. There's a weird part of me that years ago when I watched this movie and I said this changed me as a person, that my Neil saw my Dell and was like, what are you doing here? And there was a big flip in who I was.

Yeah. It's a crazy good movie. Isn't it crazy too how, like, parts of movies, even things you've seen over and over and over and over can still bring that things like that up Yeah. Every single time. And that it doesn't it's not diluted.

No. For me like, there there's a moment for me in the movie Coco, and I've seen the movie a shit. I wanted to end on the shit there. Hey, everybody. Welcome back.

Needle drops. This became like a big thing for me when I figured out what fair use was. When I was like, I'm gonna need You're my child. You're my child. You're my child.

You're my child. You're my child. You're my child. We both, like, busted up in that just now. Yeah.

These clips are just kind of more of the same. Let's just keep leaning in and enjoy the fair use needle drops. Whoo howdy. Yeah. I didn't know that.

Jim's. Tumblr, etcetera. Yeah. I remember I was working on a movie called Santa Claus 2, and I was, like, one of the elves. Like, Tim Allen Christmas.

Yeah. Yeah. And we were in a football scene where he's, like, whatever, playing football with a bunch of elves. Sure. It's like him versus 7 children.

Like you do. Yeah. Yeah. All your friend, little Kea? The day came well, they like, we've shot the scene for, like, at least a week.

And the day came for, like, us to get destroyed by him. Because all your friend, little Kea? Because he got replaced by an evil. Oh, right. Yeah.

And so now he crushes all of the elves, and it's not, like, a fun situation, for Luck. Yeah. But, like, you know, we were all set up to do this stuff when we were running around. And then there were then just, like, 2, like, been seen in a while. Mhmm.

And I wanted to kinda have a memory of. And, obviously, like I said, over the last, you know, year ish, I've been jumping back into movies that I wanted to watch again or rewatch or revisit or watch for the first time. So I had a list probably of, like, the moment you asked, I started creating a list of, like, 15 films or so. Sure. And It's hard to kill those.

It is it was hard to kill one of them. It was definitely. Hardly to me. I'll take you straight to the My love of The blood bank. Blood bank.

Poor Ben's like you 2 or Yeah. You're on an island. This one. No. But With Steven Seagal.

With Steven Seagal. Seagal. The the region, locks on them. Right. This movie specifically, I love that we're comparing it to 2010 releases.

It came out in Korea in 2009. It did. Correct. Okay. And so we're now seeing all these so for me, I think I was going with, like, what it kind of you know, cinema is such an interesting time capsule as well.

Right? Like Yes. You know, we're we're I love the Mortal Kombat annihilation joke. Because we we think about where we were at the time when these movies came out. I remember annihilation was a pre Internet movie for me.

So we went in just knowing that the first Mortal Kombat was dope. Yeah. Not knowing how awful it is. It can be followed by the worst movie ever made. Ever.

The worst movie in the history of movies. Guys, legitimately, like, annihilation is my gauge for how bad a thing is. Legit like, when we come out of a movie, I'm like It's the worst. Yes. It was bad, but it's not mortal comedy.

No. No. No. No. No.

It doesn't. I'll mention it again as it's been mentioned. And it was cut in there. You heard it. Yeah.

Alien took took the trophy legitimately, and we'll have to figure something else out for the next debate debate. My favorite movie was Heathers. That's an awesome choice. It just took such a huge jump for me. Yeah.

It it was one of those things where I saw how things like Basketball Diaries or Matrix or Mean Girls or so many things were inspired by this to whatever degree and some of the things it was inspired by. And I just feel like it's really, really stood the test of time, and I think it does a great job of portraying very specifically again, like, the cops who find the supposed the staged, gay lovers Yeah. In some sort of murder suicide pact or whatever. And for the straight small town simple minded cops, they're like, okay. Good enough.

Mystery solved. Yeah. Like, their lives aren't worth, like, our time. Mhmm. And I think that it's portrayed really, really, really well Yeah.

In the movie. So it's hard to stomach at times, but it's a pretty great movie. Farthest Fall. Was it for Leeloo Dallas monkey pass? Yeah.

What was your farthest fall? My farthest fall? I think I almost I almost went there. My father's fault was Mystery Men. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I remember really liking Mystery Men, like, when I first saw it. And upon rewatch it I mean, I would've picked for The Element, but you already did. So I wanna pick a different one.

I wanna be different. Yeah. I picked Fifth Element. That was a a 5 star to point for me, and then a 4 star watching it, and then listening to Zach, and thinking about it, and already kinda being in the the anatomy of a fall. I wanna see that.

In in that in that that place where I was like, fuck, I know I'm susceptible to, like, really turn on this thing. And so, you know, I have it in 4 k. It's not a point of prying. But it's also not somewhere in time or Super Mario Brothers. So Sure.

If they ever come out with a 4 k release though, you are gonna get a copy of that. Somewhere in time? No. Well, maybe. I mean, my brother might send you that.

Gonna spend on a criteria? My brother might send you that. You know my brother would send you that. Yeah. He probably would.

He's a peach. Ben Yeah. What did we learn? We've been doing this for a year. You have to have learned something about film or yourself or Oh, sure.

I think the biggest thing that I learned, honestly, was that, our guests our guests are funnier than us. Yeah. And each guest brings such a different energy that can really sort of drive the episode. And I I really wanna lean in as it as you say to, to the guest and what they bring and their different sort of energy. What what about you?

What did you learn? I almost wanna just, like, take the coattails of what you said and just feel like, yeah, the guests are better. Like, we're the in betweens. Like, we're supposed to come with decent questions, right, as we've done our best Yeah. With this episode.

And episodes we don't have guests. But guests are always like that secret stick that stirs the drink. Right? Yeah. They're the Baja sauce in your cheesy gordita crunch.

They put the spring in spring for you. Yeah. For me, I had to come to terms with the fact that I like voice over. Wow. Yeah.

You didn't like it before? No. It so often just felt like lazy storytelling to me or Oh, you mean voice over in a movie? Voice over narration. Yeah.

I thought you meant, like, doing voice over. I was like, no. I'm sure that I'll take voice over. With all your accents. Are you kidding me?

All your dialects, all your Yeah. Ads. Yeah. But I I like voice over narration if it's done well. Yeah.

If it's in a good film and As long as it's not in Blade Runner. Wait. The director's cuts much better. Yeah. They're the ultimate cut or whatever.

How many Final cuts. Cuts are there. Jesus. But for me, it was the voice over thing. And also just how many people are willing to jump on board this thing with us.

Not only recording episodes, but Jamie Henwood and Matthew Foskett recording music. And Keiko Green coming in for a second episode when the tech gremlins, were on the wing and the whole thing. Oh, you're on the wing. Yeah. But it's just been I felt hashtag blessed.

It's been great. Yeah. It's been so such a fun experience. I love you. It's been wonderful.

I've been I can't wait for what next year brings, and it was so fun. This episode was really fucking hard to edit. With this episode, does this with Burris' appearance collect things. On this episode, does that make him the most the the guest we've had the most? He's gotta be.

We've only had him 3 times. Right? Including this one? Yeah. And Sanjeev's been on 3.

Yep. So they're neck and neck. Yep. I guess it's a tie at this point. Yeah.

And by the way, we are gonna cut this in to, close this episode out. You are going to hear Burris's awards that are not Alien, Aliens related. In terms of everything that we just gave out, Burris is gonna give those out too. I feel like he put in so much work to rank Yeah. These dang things, and we put them on the spot.

He he should give out some potties. He's got some potties to give out too. He does. He well, I mean, he's made of burritos. He's a literal burrito.

You gotta have potties on hand. Is he like pizza the hut? He's gonna eat himself. Chime a burrito. Shit himself to death.

Hey. I'm so sorry, Bariz. It's the review review. Thank you so much for the last year. It's been really, really fun.

Ben, thank you so much for the last year. Yeah. Thank you very much. Really fun. Super fun.

Thank you. And I love you, buddy. Love you too. Stick with us. We've got more fun stuff to come.

Great guests and the spin offs will keep coming in the whole thing. Stay tuned for Burrows' Awards. Goodbye everybody. Bye. At its.

Oh. Oh, no. Did you change your mind? No. Are we Damn.

Are we doing I I had a list of, like favorite subtitle and needle drop and Oh, oh, give me, give give me those, kinda slightly rapid fire if you could. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Alright.

Favorite subtitle, Jungle All the Way from the Phantom and 3 times sexiest man alive while hockey. Nice. Got a tie. I like it. Favorite eagle drop slash sound effect is Billy Zanes impeccable drum rolls.

Love it. Favorite reoccurring joke is everything's somewhere in time. It comes up every every episode. Favorite ad would be, OnlyFans and, and Wild Stallions at law. Oh, that is good.

I like Wild Stallions a law. Yeah. That that that should be a spin off, or even a timeline from from the 3rd film when, you know, when they they show all the alternate versions. Yeah. Favorite movie?

That's also really hard, but I I I had a Galaxy Quest. Sure. I always think. Farthest fall, Exorcist Believer. Yeah.

Yeah. Just from what you're expecting Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I watched it once, and it it fell further than anything. Yeah.

Yeah. And what did we learn? Air locks are a menace and should never be taken lightly. True. Yeah.

So true. Especially if you're on an Alaska flight 737MAX9. Thank you for picking that up so quickly. I saw a a meme online of like the Alaska Airlines screen door restaurant collaboration. It was a total failure.

I was just on one of those planes too. I'm so, like, I was so, like, relieved that these poor people went through this horrible, horrific experience, but I was like, oh my god. Nobody died. Yeah. Like, wow.

Miraculous. Are we going on the door that fell off in Oregon? Yeah. Yeah. Read up on it.

It's terrifying. Yeah. I thought I I heard it was not was it was it Alaska? It was Alaska flight. Yeah.

Oh, I heard Southwest. Okay. I have to do research. Oh, don't you be smart, Southwest. Okay.

Love you. Have a good night. Yeah. We'll talk to you later. Alright.

Bye. Have a good night.
