Will You Survive... The Podcast
Will You Survive Our Fourth Tier List
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The curtain falls on Season 5 with a high-stakes showdown as TJ and Eric find themselves deadlocked with 10 season points each. To break this unprecedented tie, host Alex devises a brilliant challenge: correctly guess how he would rank all seventeen survival movies they've covered this season.
What unfolds is a masterclass in friendship dynamics as the co-hosts attempt to channel Alex's perspective on films ranging from zombie apocalypses to alien invasions. The ranking system cleverly considers Alex's subjective opinion, survival realism, entertainment value, and storytelling quality, creating a multi-dimensional analysis of each movie.
The revelations come fast and furious as Alex's true rankings shatter expectations. War of the Worlds earns surprising praise, The Purge trilogy rankings completely invert what the hosts remembered, and the heated debate over which film deserves the coveted "iconic" slot (Cast Away or Signs?) showcases just how personally we connect with survival stories.
What makes this finale special isn't just the competitive element, but the fascinating psychological dance as TJ and Eric frequently identify Alex's correct opinion before talking themselves out of it. Their analysis reveals deeper truths about how we evaluate survival scenarios in fiction – do we prioritize practical skills displayed, scenario realism, or pure entertainment value?
After passionate debates, plot breakdowns, and numerous butter-up attempts toward their bald-headed host, the competition culminates in a shocking announcement – both hosts tie in their predictions, leading to the first-ever joint season championship in the podcast's history.
Whether you're a survival film enthusiast or simply enjoy listening to friends who know each other almost too well, this season finale perfectly encapsulates what makes Will You Survive special: equal parts survival analysis, film criticism, and genuine friendship.
What survival movie would you rank as iconic? Let us know at theboys@willyousurvivethepodcast.com!
Hello survivors and welcome to another episode of Will you Survive.
Speaker 2The Podcast. Holy shit, you have energy.
Speaker 1Wow, that was some good energy. That was a response right there. That comes from my co-host, tj, that's me, and I'm also joined by our other co-host, eric.
Speaker 3I'm aware of your game, tj. Sorry, I just hit the mic. I'm aware of your game, tj.
Speaker 2I know what you're doing here no, I've just been sipping on this real good, uh adult apple juice.
Speaker 1It's really good, I'm gonna have me some of that as well. Today we're gonna be doing our top tier list because we're rounding out another season for all of you survivors who've stuck with us this far. We're about to get started on season six of will you survive, the podcast, so thank you for helping us make it this far six, that's pretty wild.
Speaker 3Six, six it is pretty wild. We've done three seasons with tj.
Speaker 2Yeah, right, and you guys didn't even, like you know, celebrate my one year back in March. Just saying I forgot to. It's fine, dang. You know what?
Speaker 1I am so, so sorry, so sorry, that we didn't celebrate your one year anniversary. Do you know what I'm going to do for you to make amends for that, what I am going on vacation next week and we are not going to record an episode.
Speaker 2I think me and Eric should record one by ourselves.
Speaker 3Oh, you could totally do that. Oh, I would love to do that we could do that.
Speaker 2I feel like it'd be funny. I feel like we could come up with something.
Speaker 3Wait, okay, but that also makes sense because of where we know the season points lie.
Speaker 2Are we going to bring that up? Do you want to tell him? We can tell him.
Speaker 3I don't know I feel like he's going to find out eventually. Maybe we should just say it now. Okay, first off. So he tallied up the season.
Speaker 2Thank you all. Thank you all for such a great season. I would like to thank the Academy. So the way seasons points work is every time you win an episode, you get one season point and you can also gain them from Josh. Oh wait.
Speaker 3That's actually not true. What do you mean Technically? The way we set it up is that whoever won would get three points, whoever got second place would get one point and the host would get zero points. Right, so technically our calculations are very wrong. But if we go just by one point per win, then he has the numbers for us.
Speaker 2That's yeah, but that's how I'd see it. We're rewriting the Constitution. There's nothing wrong with rewriting the Constitution.
Speaker 1There's absolutely something wrong with rewriting the Constitution. It's called an amendment Because you need unanimous consent to amend the Constitution.
Speaker 2No, we need a majority vote.
Speaker 3I do not. Two thirds right no, vote for I I no constitution. No, we need a majority vote.
Speaker 2I I do not right.
Speaker 3No, hey, eric no, uh, vote for I. Uh, yeah, I I no cool josh passed through the house.
Speaker 2Uh, okay, so basically it was, I didn't read it, I'm the host veto I didn't read it.
Speaker 3It came out. It came through at 11 30 at night. I didn't have time to read it. I got a veto. Basically, guys, guys, guys Vote to overrule his veto Say aye, aye, no, well, that's two thirds.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2Alex, you have an astounding six points. Eric, you, considering that you didn't calculate this right you have an astounding 10 points.
Speaker 3And TJ.
Speaker 2Hi, that's me, TJ. You have an astounding 10 points, me and.
Speaker 3Eric are tied. But If we take the season points the way they're supposed to be and each win is 3, I never got additional season points From Josh. Tj did. So technically I think my 10 wins. If I get 3 points per win, that's 30 points To TJ's however many he actually won versus how many points Josh gave him. So by technicalities I think I would be winning, but we're tied for this episode, so you're going to be breaking the tie for who wins this season.
Speaker 1Well, that's going to make this game so much more fun. Have I ever told you how great your head looks bald I flattery works flattery works because I'm gonna read, you listen, how the categories are going to be based. Oh, you know order of importance.
Speaker 2You know how I like make fun of your bald head all the time.
Speaker 3That's just because I have like a really yeah, I'm just really insecure about my hair, you know I really wish I could pull off such a bald-headed look.
Speaker 2I'll send you a picture of me. When I was bald, I shaved my head and I don't look good, it's just really.
Speaker 3So you hate bald people.
Speaker 2I really appreciate a good, nice bald head.
Speaker 1So the way the points are going to be tallied today are we are going to do a quick coin toss, which, thankfully, I happen to have a coin you happen to have a coin right here. I was going to use a challenge coin, but it works Because there are. If I'm counting right, there are 17 movies, right?
Speaker 3Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 23, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.
Speaker 3Yeah, 17.
Speaker 1Oh, wait a minute. Which one am I missing?
Speaker 3You want me to run through?
Speaker 1them yeah.
Speaker 3Dawn of the Dead.
Speaker 1Yep Conjuring.
Speaker 3Yep Grey, yep Martian, yep Conjuring 2. Yep Avatar, yep Life of Pi. Yep war of the worlds, yep cooties, yep castaway, yep day before tomorrow day after.
Speaker 1Yes, yeah, uh, purge one, two and three. Oh, I didn't calculate purge three because it's not out yet.
Speaker 2That's why that's good, we did record it oh, oh, but this will be so when this comes out. It'll be after that, so we gotta add yeah, okay, fellas the categories, there will be no tie.
Speaker 1Okay, because bold of you to assume whoever gets the coin toss gets to go first, meaning if you guys tie all the way through, the winner of the coin toss is going to get the last shot at winning this episode oh, so it's like getting white in chess because they're the.
Speaker 1They're the uh, the first goer, if you will. 17 means there's not going to be a tie. The way that this is going to be calculated is categories are based on in order of importance. Alex's purely subjective opinion oh great, survival skills displayed in the movie, entertainment quality and the story told, namely about survival. But I'm okay if you can manipulate your argument into the uh, the happening. I have all of mine categorized here okay, so just to clarify.
Speaker 3Uh, number one is alex's opinion yep. Number two is survival skills yep. Number three is entertainment quality yep.
Speaker 1Number four is the story told, survival, specifically specifically survival, but you guys can manipulate my vote on that okay now, I've already categorized all of mine.
Speaker 1Oh god, okay, and I want to give you both a hint. There are. Let me see. We've got one, two, three. There are no bad or awful in my categories. I chose no bad or awful. What you guys are going to do is pick what you believe I rated the movie. Oh, winner goes first, based on the categories that I've laid out here. Oh, you're going to guess what I picked the movie to be, and the one who gets the most right wins.
Speaker 3I forget how you rated the.
Speaker 1Conjuring. Okay, I think we got to go to.
Speaker 3Avatars on this list.
Speaker 1There's no bad or awful there's no bad or awful fuck you, so you admit no, I'm talking shit to him, just saying so you admit hey, if it, if it helps you, I said shit in that podcast episode that would tip you off to that. Okay, we're going to do cards against humanity rules. It took a poop last Poop pooped last, most recent.
Speaker 3Oh man, Mine was yesterday.
Speaker 1Damn, did you poop yesterday? Yeah, I like that. I pooped late at night Fuck off guys Jeez, all right, all right.
Speaker 3I had to wake up and go to work. Today I didn't have time.
Speaker 1I pooped today, so oh, okay, so Fucking poopy monster TJ wins. Tj, call it you ready. Three, two, one, call it Heads.
Speaker 3It is tails.
Speaker 2Ha ha A loser.
Speaker 1That's not very sportsmanlike, that's not very sportsmanlike, but that's not how we're rating points today.
Speaker 3Yeah, that wasn't one of his qualifiers.
Speaker 1I do appreciate jeering and taunting. This is not your ordinary sport.
Speaker 3Oh, I will clarify.
Speaker 2If you taunt or heckle me, it can affect your points. Alex, you're fucking gorgeous as a human being. This is going well.
Speaker 1Butter me up, butter me up, Okay, Eric you get to go first. I'm going in order of the episodes as recorded. So Dawn of the Dead.
Speaker 3Hey guys, turns out I don't really like passion fruit that much, sorry, side note. Okay, it's a new flavor, didn't like it? Dawn of the Dead when do I think you rated this? Your opinion, okay. So should we just give our ratings and then explain why we gave our ratings?
Speaker 1Yes, okay, I mean, you can walk it through, you can talk it. Okay, I mean, you can walk it through, you can talk it out.
Speaker 3I don't want to give him anything, though.
Speaker 1He doesn't get to guess your movie.
Speaker 3Oh.
Speaker 1This is all you.
Speaker 3But there's 17 movies, yep, okay. Well, I'll see, I feel like.
Speaker 1I should get a chance to steal.
Speaker 2Wouldn't that be more Like if he gets it completely wrong?
Speaker 1you know, Well, okay, he's completely wrong, you know? Well, okay, like he's like wait until?
Speaker 3are we getting ahead of you? Wait, wait, wait until, wait until the end. Okay, so you've thought it through, got it okay? Donna the dead I I don't think iconic, because I think you would think the older one is iconic, not not the 2004 version but I'm pretty sure you see this as an s-tier movie.
Speaker 3All right put it down, if you're, if you're done because I mean mean, I don't even think I really have to say too much more, but I know you love this movie. That's your first category. Second category I think there's a lot of survival skills in this, especially when it comes to like just being resourceful and not being stupid. Number three entertainment quality. There was a lot of stupidity. The zombie picked up a propane tank yeah, blew it up like feet away from the bus.
Speaker 1That was pretty crazy, um I will say this this will. This will lead you guys down all the rest of the movies, too. Good points, what you're, what you're suggesting, what I do want to say entertainment quality. One of the things that we actually mentioned in the episode as well was the fact that, well, you and I mentioned it in the first go-round, the episode that we did of this was the news broadcast, but we did talk about how director Zack Snyder used real amputees. So that's part of the entertainment quality.
Speaker 3But carry on. Yeah, 100%. I also think that this kind of ties into your first point as well. I think you would really like the fact that it's all practical effects Okay, and they show that in the bonus features and the story is just a good story, a good story about survival.
Speaker 1So pretty solid. Put it on the board.
Speaker 2Eric, you suck Anyways. So what I was going to add to that is that yes, Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1We're not going to do add-ons to these movies yet.
Speaker 3Yeah, you freaking loser, I'm just saying Open your ears. Your episode on that movie was absolutely iconic. That's all I have to say. That was a great fucking episode. We're not rating the episode, I know, I'm just saying I just you know that was. His episode was iconic and it was.
Speaker 1This is good. Hey, hey, hey, don't disagree with the buttering up of the host that can cost you.
Speaker 3This guy's nose is looking brown, and it's not because he's black.
Speaker 1All right, TJ your go Conjuring the first one. How did I rate that movie?
Speaker 3Yeah, I got no idea.
Speaker 2I personally feel like you rated it good. I got nothing else From your vibe. I feel like you would say it was a good movie.
Speaker 1From my vibe you're going, alex's purely subjective opinion. I don't think you would put it up a good movie from my vibe you're going.
Speaker 2I don't alex's purely subjective opinion of the dead I don't think okay put it right below that. I think it was all right it's a good movie, so good is that.
Speaker 1Is that enough said? Enough said good enough, said okay good wow, I think that's kind of crazy okay, all right, that's confidence right there that.
Speaker 3That was you just went quick, purely subjective opinion.
Speaker 1Now, mind you guys, this going to get more difficult as we go.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 1Eric the gray.
Speaker 3Okay, I'm not going to lie. I think you say this is good. Okay, I'm going to do the exact same thing.
Speaker 1Tj said, nuff said Nuff said you say, I say it's good, yeah, now here's where I mean.
Speaker 3do you want me to say a little more on it? Because I could.
Speaker 1You could, but here's where, instead, I'm going to challenge you a bit. Okay, do I place this above or below the Conjuring?
Speaker 3I thought you were going to do that. I think you put this below the Conjuring, truthfully, because the Conjuring was such an iconic movie. When it came out Nobody fucking knew about the Grey. It's not an awful movie, it's good. It's entertaining. Um, I don't think this is like a super incredible movie. It's good. Um, it's a little silly with the way the animals, especially the wolves, act. So I think that's a lot of the survival skills part of it. That's kind of like just a lot of the survival they had to do was not necessary because wolves wouldn't do that. Um, entertainment quality, I think, pretty solid. Uh, I think that was pretty good. And then the story I liked the ending. I don't know if you liked the ending. You don't like those endings where they cut off and they don't show you what happened.
Speaker 1So I think that would also be another reason to put it in good. They kind of they show them clashing. Yeah, the wolf was dead and he's barely breathing, but okay, so that's enough said. That's fairly good, but I said a lot the Martian TJ.
Speaker 2No, no, alex, you like science.
Speaker 1I do like science.
Speaker 2You like science?
Speaker 3Objection Leading the witness Overruled.
Speaker 1I'll allow it, damn But'll allow it, oh damn, but good, no, good, good work. That was good, right yeah.
Speaker 2What I'm trying to say is that out of all these movies, this is the most scientifically sound movie and it has a lot of great survival skills in it. Bro survived on Mars.
Speaker 3Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2For how long it was? Like 900 souls, um, yeah. So my personal opinion I would put it in iconic um, but for you I feel like you're slightly less of a nerd than I am, so I feel like either great or like low s so what do you want to? I'm going to put it in the top of great yeah, okay, that's what I'm doing. And then we've got.
Speaker 3All right Enough said. Can I just say Avatar has quite a lot of science in it.
Speaker 2It's called science fiction, but that's still science?
Speaker 3Oh yeah, Because the Martian was factual.
Speaker 1Oh wait, You're skipping.
Speaker 2It's based on a true story the Conjuring 2.
Ranking Dawn of the Dead & Conjuring
Speaker 3The Conjuring 2 is your movie. Yeah, I know, but I was just bringing up the fact that Avatar has science and they survive on another planet with science. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1Just wanted to say.
Speaker 3Okay. Also, the Martian is not based on a true story, so that is also science fiction, fair fair, fair, point.
Speaker 2No, fucking nerd. Anyways, what did you know, that some guy?
Speaker 3didn't survive after getting straight man's podcast uh the conjuring 2 I uh miscalculated, because I was looking at this and going, oh, tj's gonna get all the conjuring ones. No, he's not. Um, so that sucks for me because I don't remember if you liked this one or not. Interesting, because I remember we disagreed on how we would rate the Conjuring movies. Yep, and it was not by much, and I don't remember the difference Really. I think we said that the first one is number one, but I think you guys said that you prefer the second one over the first one. All right, so if you put the first one in good, I think you would put the Conjuring 2 in great, and I think it might go under the Martian, because I do think you have a when it comes to survival skills. I think you have a lot of appreciation for the realism that was in the Martian, and also that's what Zack Snyder, who's the director.
Speaker 3Of which Of the Martian. Who was that?
Speaker 1That wasn't Zack Snyder. No, that's not Zack Snyder, that was the really crazy guy.
Speaker 3He only does like the, he does like Interstellar, he does like the crazy good movies.
Speaker 2It's not Christopher.
Speaker 1Nolan.
Speaker 2Christopher Nolan didn't do much.
Speaker 3You know, I can't remember who's the one that's like, if he calls you, you drop everything you're doing. All right all right Looking it up. Yeah, as soon as he's saying it, it's going to irritate me Ridley Scott, ridley Scott, yeah. Oh, not at all who I was thinking of.
Speaker 1Sound arguments, though.
Speaker 3I know you like the realism of the survival. It's a very entertaining movie. It tells a great story, so I definitely think it would be higher than the Conjuring.
Speaker 2I think the Conjuring, conjuring um, I think, the conjuring 2 is gonna go right under the martian in. Great, okay, fair. Now tj, yeah, avatar, bottom of good next question.
Speaker 1I'm just gonna say I think you fucked up there. I think you fucked up there I think you are very wrong hey, he was the whole episode.
Speaker 2He was like it's fucking pocahontas with aliens.
Speaker 3That is true, I do remember him saying that the whole episode. Should I say my disagreement, or is that going to come in later?
Speaker 3come in later, okay okay what yo who said that life of pie so this one's tough because I feel like you like this movie and there are some survival skills in the sense of like rationing and you know. So this one's tough, because I feel like you like this movie and there are some survival skills in the sense of like rationing and you know, surviving on a boat with a tiger, but also it's like the realism of surviving on a boat with a tiger is not very real. It's a pretty entertaining movie. It's long and it doesn't really feel like it.
Speaker 2I mean it does, but it doesn't. This would be classified as fiction.
Speaker 3Yes, this would be fiction. You're right, I think it does tell a great story, man, I don't know, I think Me personally, I'd put it in S tier. Me personally, I don't know if Alex puts it in S tier. No, I almost wonder if it goes into Iconic just because of what it is. Life of Pi is a very I can't believe I hadn't seen it until that moment. That movie is big and everybody knows it, so I don't know if Alex would put it in iconic, though it's kind of the thing.
Speaker 2I wish I could see his face to read his expressions.
Speaker 3He's not given anything, nothing. I've been staring. I've been staring and looking and saying certain key words to try and spark a reaction nothing, you just look at his s tier s tier great good, iconic.
Speaker 1Iconic, great good, bad. I like it.
Speaker 3Just look at me Iconic S Great good, bad, bad, bad.
Speaker 2It's in bad Now you got to put in bad because you said it's in bad.
Speaker 3No, I don't know. I really don't know where this goes. My considerations are if it goes in great above the Conjuring 2 or if it goes in good above the Conjuring. I don't know which one it falls into. I'm gonna say it goes in great above the conjuring, but below the Martian or vibes so you went great sorry, tj, it's gonna be a lot of ums to cut out with that that answer, cause I just could not figure out where that would go.
Speaker 2I leave some of them in for effect.
Speaker 3I'm so curious to know where you do place the life of five.
Speaker 1We will be telling you all and I will rationalize everything.
Speaker 2Just based on the fact that I know for a fact that he liked Conjuring 2 more than the first Conjuring. I don't know if that's a fact. You know what I'm going to say it with my chest. I think that's a fact but, like I think you're right, I've been making shit up.
Speaker 3It's been a while since I edited those. I think he said 2-1-3. I think that was the order you guys said it.
Speaker 2I said I think it's 1, 2, 3. To put it at the bottom, of good, because he said there's no bad or awful.
Speaker 3Unless he was fibbing us. I'm not I will double down.
Speaker 1There is no Let me make sure, let me double check here. Let me make sure, hold on, because I did this a little funky here. I didn't remember that we rated them great, good, bad. I thought we did letter grades.
Speaker 3We did. I switched it up.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, so okay.
Speaker 3I do think I fucked up. Well, I think great is A, good is B, because I do think yeah great is A, good is B.
Speaker 1So I beg your pardon. I owe you guys an apology, and for that I'm going to give you a hint there are two bads, and that's completely my fault.
Speaker 3I I lettered that wrong. Oh, that's okay.
Speaker 1Um, but I can also tell you that you have not come to either of those oh, okay, I think I know what two they are fuck.
Speaker 3So I think I know which two they are but also, like I don't know if I would qualify either of them as bad, well, I would.
Speaker 2I would definitely qualify at least one of them. It's a good watch. It's not a great movie. I think I know the ones that he likes in here, unless I'm just projecting.
Speaker 3I can only think of one that would go in bad. I can't think of the other one that would go in bad. Do you want to say which one you think? I'll say it I think we agree. I think Anarchy we both agree probably will go in bad.
Speaker 2That's one of the ones, yeah.
Speaker 3But then I don't know the other one. I was thinking 1408, but I thought that was kind of a good movie, 1408 is good Day After. Tomorrow.
Speaker 2I was thinking that too, but or I don't know, maybe in his brain, his glorious, glorious brain, behind the very shiny scalp.
Speaker 1Oh, I love it. I love it. It's very, very nice, give me more.
Speaker 2Maybe he doesn't like War of the Worlds, because it's not a very good movie.
Speaker 1Oh, that's an interesting thought.
Speaker 3I thought that I also thought maybe Cooties, because it's a good bad movie, you know.
Speaker 2But I feel like he was fucking with cooties, dude.
Speaker 3I think he did too yeah.
Speaker 1You guys are like really making some strong points here, so Are we like almost persuading your answer.
Speaker 2Let's move on. He's like I'm changing all of my answers.
Speaker 3You both lose. So bad was C tier for you.
Speaker 1Bad was yes Okay.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2So I've got oh cause Eric's decided to switch shit up.
Speaker 1I know, we're going to 1408. Eric.
Speaker 3Oh, uh, oh well, like I said, I don't think 1408 is bad and and I'm going to stand by that I'm going to say with my full chest but I don't think it's great. I think it's better than the Grey, so I think it goes right below the Conjuring in good, okay and reasons. I think we all like John Cusack, samuel L Jackson great character as well. I think the story was really well told. I love a good story where it's like you're trapped in the room and you can't get out and like he thought he got out but then he wasn't out, and love that um and I think you like those kind of psychological thrillers too, can I have?
Speaker 2can can we both have one hint about if there is anything in iconic?
Speaker 1Fair.
Speaker 2There are no iconics.
Speaker 3Okay, I kind of thought so I didn't think there would be.
Speaker 1I was like, because if it wasn't, Dawn of the Dead.
Speaker 3Yeah Well, I was okay Actually. Oh, I'm so sorry. No, there is one, isn't there.
Speaker 1I'm so sorry there is one.
Speaker 3I know which one it is it might surprise you. I don't think so. Okay, Because if it's not what I think it is, then I'm disappointed.
Speaker 1Remember this is Alex's purely subjective opinion.
Speaker 3Yeah, I get that. It would still be wrong In the order of importance 1408, I think, was a good movie.
Debating The Martian & Avatar
Speaker 3I like the arrogance of the character. I think you also like that kind of character development where he realized he was kind of fucked. Very entertaining some survival, not really too much. That's why I don't think it's a great movie. It kind of falls more in a good and I think you seem to just enjoy the movie in general. So I'm going to go ahead and say right below Conjuring and good, right below Conjuring okay, alright, and TJ Signs it.
Speaker 1So I'm going to go ahead and say, right below conjuring and good, right below conjuring, okay, all right.
Speaker 2And TJ signs so tough one boys Really. I think it is because I really love this movie.
Speaker 3Me too.
Speaker 1So here's the thing. I've already made two mistakes in categorizing these things. So what we're going to do before we tally the points when we get all the way through. Before I tell you what I rated these, I'm going to speak on every one of these and let you guys change your answers.
Speaker 3Oh, okay.
Speaker 1I was originally going to do a different thing and I'll let you guys argue each other's.
Speaker 3Does it not work with the way we have it?
Speaker 1Oh no, it works, but it's just that I fucked up. I said there was no iconic and I said there were no bads.
Speaker 3Ah, that's all right so.
Speaker 1I didn't want to leave it like that.
Speaker 3I mean I'm okay, are you okay? Tj.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, this episode is amazing. I love this.
Speaker 3I say that because, truthfully, I was going to put my answers where it wasn't going to matter. If you said there was no bad, it's like a YouTube rewind or a Spotify wrapped.
Speaker 2You know it's always a good thing. I love Spotify wrapped.
Speaker 3I genuinely don't think any of these movies are bad yet. No, and I think once we hit it like I was going to put certain ones in bad if I got them anyways.
Speaker 1Okay, alright, just as a statement.
Speaker 2Okay, so signs, signs. Looking at this list, I don't know if you would put it next to Dawn of the Dead, so maybe Great, just Below Life of Pi.
Speaker 3Okay, my turn.
Speaker 1It's your turn. War of the Worlds.
Speaker 2Quick, quick, quick, quick little. I'm getting in here. War of the Worlds just had another movie released where Ice Cube is Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick little. I'm getting in here. War of the Worlds just had another movie released where Ice Cube is.
Speaker 1I saw that.
Speaker 2On the computer the entire fucking time and I seen a clip where he's like watching his son run away from the goddamn tripods and he's like get out of there Run, and then his son dies and he's just like, oh, Anyways, run, and then his son dies and he's just like oh, anyways, I can literally hear him. When you did that, I could hear like he put his hands on his head.
Speaker 1He's like oh, I didn't see a trailer or anything, but I saw a photograph. It was a. It looked like a still from it and I seriously thought it was a parody like it was like somebody made an ai joke the actual fucking like ip of war of the worlds, that they just decided to make with fucking ice cube, as like I think he's like a national security something or other.
Speaker 2I don't know. That is hilarious, so we're gonna have to end up watching it.
Speaker 3It's going to be one of my picks, this thing is going to be so funny Of course Go on air. So War of the Worlds. I don't remember how you felt about this movie. I think you picked it. I'm pretty sure I did Because I remember I watched.
Speaker 1It would either be me or TJ.
Speaker 2No, I think I mentioned it, and then you picked it.
Speaker 3I picked it. Yeah, I watched like a really old, really bad version of that, that's right and I was about like 10 minutes in and I'm like this movie sucks.
Speaker 2I think you watched the War of the Worlds or something.
Speaker 3I don't even think it was that. Maybe it was bad. It was like 60s level movie, yep, and maybe like 80s but worse. But I was watching it and I was seriously telling Alex I was like this movie is so bad, like I don't know when Tom Cruise is going to come in and save this movie, but it is awful.
Speaker 1And he was like what are you?
Speaker 3talking about? And I was like dude, the scientist is so not believable. And he was like what are you talking?
Speaker 2about and I was like dude, the scientist is so not believable and he was like what scientist and that's when I realized dude, when is tom?
Speaker 3cruise gonna be in it was seriously like 15 minutes into the movie and I'm like dude, tom cruise must fucking kick ass in this movie.
Speaker 2Because this movie when did? When did they introduce the cruise?
Speaker 3dog. Yeah, I'm like holy shit. I would have thought the main character would be in here by now. Yeah, I was watching the wrong movie.
Speaker 1I knew it was the wrong movie. When you said you saw boobs yeah, I was like yeah there was nudity within the first five minutes. I don't think you're watching the right movie.
Speaker 2I watched the old Dawn of the Dead when we were supposed to watch the 2004. So I ended up skimming through the 2004 at like fucking 5x speed. Oh my God.
Speaker 3So, Tom Cruise, War of the Worlds man. I hate to keep putting Well.
Speaker 2He did say, there was stuff in bad.
Speaker 3Yeah, let me try to think out loud here, but I personally don't care for this movie too much.
Speaker 3I don't think it's bad, I don't think it's great, I think I think uh, I think I would put it, I would honestly put it at the bottom of good, but I don't know if you would put it there. Okay, I think your opinion of it might be a little higher. I think you might find the survival aspect of it kind of unique and interesting. Um, it's. It's pretty similar in my mind to like um, what's that movie by jordan peele? The nope, yeah, the jean jacket in the sky. Yeah, it's kind of similar vibes to that in my opinion.
Speaker 2I hate you for what you just said. That is such an incorrect statement.
Speaker 3It collects them and spits out their blood.
Speaker 2That's the same thing. Gene Jacket did Not at all the same.
Speaker 3It's the same thing. You're just mad that I made that comparison.
Speaker 2No, the tripods in War of the Worlds were trying to inhabit the planet, make it habitable. Didn't end up working.
Speaker 3That's why they're making the blood vines. I didn't say they were the exact same. Just saying War of the Worlds, I think.
Speaker 2It doesn't matter what you think.
Speaker 3I hate to keep putting it here, but I think you would put it below the Conjuring and above 1408.
Speaker 2Okay, you can see how hesitant we are to put it higher Like stuff higher.
Speaker 3Yeah, because, like low-key, we watched a couple of mid-tier movies this season.
Speaker 2Listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 3Remember how many episodes were this season Versus how many movies are on this list 17. It was actually quite a lot.
Speaker 2There was some mid-tier and then was some no movies. We just we went on no movie streak.
Speaker 1It was crazy remember these ratings based in the order of importance yeah, are purely on alex's subjective opinion.
Speaker 3That's what I'm trying to consider. Okay, all right, that's his way of saying we're very off tj cootiesies Top of great.
Speaker 1Where did I put that?
Speaker 3Wow, that's a crazy stance to take. Go hard, or go home.
Speaker 2I believe that our beautiful host has fucking taste and this movie pretty much fucking Shakespeare. That is not where I would think you'd put it, Yo. That movie Fucking amazing, Okay, all right. So that movie Fucking amazing, Okay All right, so Cast Away.
Speaker 3Eric. Okay, this is so interesting.
Speaker 2Cast Aways.
Speaker 3Because I really feel like you could put it in iconic. Okay, but I also don't think you did Okay, although I do think it's an iconic movie. There is a different movie on this list that I think should be an iconic and even if you're wrong, or even if I'm wrong about that, I think you're wrong if it's not the one that I think. I think Cast Away goes at the top of S tier above Dawn of the Dead.
Speaker 2I don't.
Speaker 3I think this is tough because I do think it should go in iconic, but I think the other one deserves to be an iconic, more Interesting. Maybe I don't know, I'm conflicting, don't?
Speaker 2be scared. I heard you was conflicting. I'm going to stick to this.
Speaker 1If you think it belongs somewhere. Remember, don't think like you, think like me.
Speaker 3I'm going to stick to this because, although I think this is a great movie, I think you admire the other one for what it did more. If that makes sense, I'm going to stick with this. I think it goes to the top of S.
Speaker 1Okay, now, day after tomorrow, mr TJ.
Speaker 2This is.
Speaker 3I personally think this one's pretty easy, Alex let's play a word association game.
Speaker 2If I say bad movie, what's your first thought? Oh geez, he's like day after tomorrow Got it, let's go.
Speaker 3Nothing even comes to my mind. Really, I can think of one, the Zombie's, the Beginning, oh God, the first thing I think about.
Speaker 1Oh my goodness, gracious the.
Speaker 3Killer Babies, man.
Life of Pi & Signs Placement
Speaker 2Yeah, dude the Zomb, that's killer babies man. Yeah, dude, zombabies. Okay, so there's two things on this list that are left that I think he would have possibly put in bad. He was really beefing with the family in Anarchy Purge Anarchy. Yeah, he was really on them and I got to rate both of my picks for bad. So I'm gonna have to say I think day after tomorrow goes into bed. I think you're right. Yeah, because there's no way the there's no way the first purge goes in the batter.
Speaker 2no, I don't think so I think you're right I think so too.
Speaker 3I think he liked Election Year better than the second one. Yep.
Speaker 2That's my choice. Lock it in.
Speaker 1Okay, it's locked in. All right, the Purge number one, eric I think it goes right under Life of Pi.
Speaker 3I think it's a great movie. I think you really enjoyed the Purge for the concept of it. I think we had our concerns with it, which is why it's not the top. I think it's not better than. I don't think you liked it better than cooties. I don't think you liked it better than the martian or the life of pie, but I think you did like it. And I think you liked it more than the conjuring too, because you seem to have you seem to not care for the conjurings as much as I do.
Speaker 2Um, I don't know if that's true, but it just kind of feels like, in fact, me and eric, we're gonna start a podcast where our first episode was going to be the conjuring uh, that is true.
Speaker 3Yeah, uh, survival skills for the purge, I think. Uh, arjun, there's just more examples of that than in um, like the conjuring 2. I think it is pretty entertaining as just a concept to kind of explore and, uh, the story on the first one was pretty well told. As I'm saying this, I do worry that it might actually go higher in the great category, but I'm going to leave it where it is.
Speaker 1Okay, all right. The Purge 2, anarchy TJ.
Speaker 2Did he say there's one thing in bad? In my brain there's only one thing in bad. He said two. He said two, Mm-hmm Two. You said two, Mm-hmm One and iconic. Can you confirm, Alex? So I know this dirty liar isn't lying.
Speaker 1Your Honor I wouldn't, give him anything off of that. He's not lying, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2I trust you. I trust you, your word is your bond, because you're a good man All right.
Speaker 1I appreciate it. I appreciate this.
Speaker 2So clearly goes in the top of bad. Okay, we in the top of bad. Okay, we got one left.
Speaker 3Eric. Last but not least, I think election year is going to go in good and I think it's going to go under 1408, but above the gray. That's a weird place you think Like because I think election year is good but I think 1408. Just the twist at the end was very good by the time you get it's the purge again. But it was cool, it was great okay swap it out.
Speaker 1There would be a lot of swapping I would do if I were so writing all these for him so what I was originally gonna do and if you guys are still okay with it, even though I messed up a couple of things here I'm okay with that uh, what I was gonna do is let you guys go back through and reorder, but it would be TJ gets to try to reorder Eric's and Eric gets to try to reorder TJ's.
Speaker 1So you get an opportunity to earn a point. If you think that they miscategorize something and put it in the wrong category, you can recategorize it and either fuck it up entirely or earn a point.
Speaker 3I'm here for that. I like that.
Speaker 1So we will now start with tj on dawn of the dead. Would you like to reorder his? Do you think you can get a better point? And position in category counts 2004 was a great year.
Speaker 2There's some really good sour skittles y'all ever had sour skittle you're trying to uh.
Speaker 3What am I trying to say here? I don't even know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2Uh, personally I feel like eric, just as a human being just sucks, you know um, and I really tie shaking your head.
Speaker 3Yes, I really tie eric into.
Speaker 2You know this movie, so you know, treat this, you know, with a grain of salt. Don't know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3donna the dead just say I put it in the right spot and let's move on. You did, I was trying to Jeez.
Speaker 2I didn't know, you agreed with me it's really hard for me to say this, but I agree with Eric. You saw her skin. It was so good I get it All right.
Speaker 1Okay, eric, would you change or leave alone the ranking in the Conjuring?
Speaker 3I think I'm going to leave it. I think it's the top of good in your opinion. I personally think the Conjuring is last year Interesting.
Speaker 1Okay, TJ the Grey, Would you change it or leave it the same?
Speaker 2Not going to lie, it's a pretty great list we put together. I think we'll keep it the same.
Speaker 3Yeah, there's only two or three things I would change.
Speaker 1Okay, so Eric the Martian.
Speaker 3Man, I was going to move it above Cooties, but I do think you really liked Cooties. I don't know. I do think I'm going to move the Martian above Cooties. I think the Martian is just an objectively better movie. Cooties is great, it's funny, it's got the comedy in it, but the Martian is just such a solid put-together movie and it has everything. It has tragedy, it has comedy, it has drama, it has everything. And Cooties was very much like a slapstick kind of comedy.
Speaker 1Okay, the Conjuring. 2. Tj leave it or move it.
Speaker 2We're going to cut out all this dead air. Um, I don't know, this is difficult.
Speaker 1Kinda wish I had sour Skittles now.
Speaker 2I'm eating Mike and Ike's now. Um, just the Ike's. So basically, I think somewhere in my brain it would make more sense if the Conjuring 2 was in the place of the Purge. Okay, but now that I see it there, I'm going to move it back.
Speaker 3Yeah, right. Yeah, I kind of thought the same thing, where I'm like maybe it goes a little higher, but anytime you bring it higher, you're like I don't know, does it?
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm going to keep it in the same place.
Speaker 1Interesting. Okay, avatar Does it. Yeah, I'm going to keep it in the same place.
Speaker 3Interesting. Okay, avatar. Okay, I think he was wildly wrong on this one. I think you liked this movie more than you let on. Okay, I think. Yes, it is Pocahontas in space, but I think you did enjoy it and you admitted to me afterwards that you were more just fucking with us and you actually did enjoy the movie.
Speaker 1To be fair, everything that I said about that movie I said in the episode.
Speaker 3Yes, I think it isn't great just because it is, I'm pretty sure, one of the highest grossing films of all time. I think it goes above the Purge, below the Life of Pi. Well, actually, I don't know. I think it goes below the purge, below the life of Pi. Well, actually, I don't know, I think it goes below the purge for you. Okay, for me, this is an iconic movie.
Speaker 2Yeah, I've seen this in theaters when it was in 3D, and those little seed pod flying things, them motherfuckers, were popping out of the screen. It was great that was the first time I've ever seen a 3D 3D movie, the ones before that where it was the red and blue glasses, those fucking suck.
Speaker 3I don't know Coraline on those was really good. You've never seen Coraline.
Speaker 1That one sounds familiar, coraline could be a fun.
Speaker 2There's some survival in that we could watch that.
Speaker 3Love Coraline Good movie.
Speaker 2We're pushing the survival we really are.
Speaker 3We're like is there a possibility you could die? At all, okay, well then, survival what was? Okay, you did move it I moved avatar to great right below the purge and TJ is on life of pie.
Speaker 1Now you gonna're going to leave it.
Speaker 2I think it goes above cooties.
Speaker 3Okay, I'm, I don't. I don't disagree with that. I don't know if that would be the case with Alex, but I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 2Well, I'm also noticing there's like a gradient of fucking faces. There's so many faces you know, it is a cover, I know, but, like you know, it is a cover, I know, but there's so many zoomed up faces.
Speaker 1Oh, I thought you were saying I was making faces.
Speaker 2That's funny, no, it's just like why is the dude in the gray and then the dude in the Martian doing the same?
Speaker 1It's true, the same exact pose, same look.
Speaker 3Castaway and Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2War of the Worlds and Conjuring the Devil made me do it.
Speaker 3They're both the same amount of distraught oh, I was gonna say castaway and tom cruise is like the same one, just mirror flipped okay, so fucking stupid ass jokes don't cut those, leave them is so life of pie is where you want it yeah, above cuties now
Speaker 2cuties not cuties.
Speaker 3Cuties is a movie on netflix that is very controversial said very controversial it just sounds like I said cuties, because I sound stupid sometimes all right, eric.
Speaker 1Yes the conjuring three the devil made me do Eric. Yes, the Conjuring 3. The Devil Made Me Do it. Are you going to leave it or move it?
Speaker 3I'm just going to move it above the Grey because I think it is just an objectively better movie than the Grey. I like the Grey, but it's just not a great movie, okay.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 3TJ, I don't know 1408.
Speaker 1You're leaving it, you're moving it.
Speaker 2I think that goes above War of the Worlds.
Speaker 3Really Okay. Yeah, interesting, I'll go with that.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 3I don't disagree.
Speaker 1And that means my turn. Your turn for signs iconic.
Speaker 3I think that's an iconic movie just because we've referenced it so much, even, uh, just in passing, in several episodes. It is just such an iconic movie the way that they don't show the alien for so long and it really just builds up the suspense. And then, even when you do see the alien, it's still creepy and freaky. I love the storyline behind it. I think it's a little funny simply because you are like how could these aliens come to a planet that is 70% water when they have a problem with water? But maybe they didn't know they had a problem with water, I don't know. I still think it's an iconic movie just because of the impact that it's had on the genre and, I would say, on the world in general. Okay, all right, it's also one of the few alien movies that isn't just the us being attacked interesting, okay, tj yeah, war of the worlds.
Speaker 1I'm only in the same spot okay, same spot, cooties eric you leaving it, you moving it.
Speaker 3I think it's good where it is that is, I lost it.
Speaker 1Where is it?
Speaker 3uh, right below life is pie. Oh, there's a life of pie.
Speaker 2No, it'd be funny as if we both uh, if we both won like we tied and then we had to he's like there's supposed tied and then we had to double host.
Speaker 3He's like there's supposed to be no ties.
Speaker 2We had to double host. That'd be crazy. It would work out for next week.
Speaker 1Okay, tj, cast away, you leaving it, you moving it.
Speaker 2Move it up into iconic above signs. Okay, one of us is wrong.
Speaker 3You sticking with it, yeah.
Speaker 1Okay, and day after tomorrow, eric, you leaving it, you moving it.
Speaker 3I'm gonna leave it. I think it deserves where it's at. It deserves it.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 3Well, can I move it above Anarchy? No, yeah. I think it's a marginally better movie than Anarchy. That's crazy. It's not how he. Better movie than Anarchy.
Speaker 2That's crazy.
Speaker 1It's not how he feels.
Speaker 2It's how he feels.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah, you moved it.
Speaker 3Yeah, I moved it from the bottom of bad to the top of bad. Okay okay. I think you might agree that it's a marginally better movie than Anarchy.
Speaker 1Okay, and the Purge number one, TJ. You leaving it or you moving it?
War of the Worlds & Cooties
Speaker 2the purg blessed be the founding fathers.
Speaker 1I think I'm gonna leave it you're gonna leave it all right, the purge two eric actually no, I'm gonna leave it.
Speaker 2I had to think about something real quick. No, it not going to work out.
Speaker 3I'm leaving Anarchy where it is.
Speaker 1Okay and TJ the PIRG 3 Election day. You leaving it, you moving it. Pirg 3.
Speaker 2Move it in the place of War of the Worlds real quick Again. Nah, I don't like it. Put it back.

Speaker 3Well, he's been saying that for a while.
Speaker 1I'm just fucking with him.
Speaker 2All right I would get it on my scalp, I think it would be funny First, if I could get a time check.
Speaker 1how are we doing?
Speaker 2We are at one hour and six minutes. There's probably at least six minutes to cut, so we're good, okay.
Speaker 3Oh wow, I thought we were way over time.
Speaker 1All right, so I'll go through this pretty quick. I have the tally and we have a winner. Okay, you guys were a lot closer than I thought you were going to be, but I'm going to tell you before I say anything. You guys know my mind a lot better than I thought you would, but you second-guessed yourselves, oh no. So Dawn of the Dead. You got right okay that's s1.
Speaker 1now, mind you, the other thing that I gave you another hint that you, you, I don't know you guys put it into your calculations is I graded this s, a, b, c, d and uh, awful. So there were no in S A, b, c, awful, that's how we, that's how I did it. So there were no awfuls.
Speaker 3The conjuring I had B, three, that was so we're world awards or war of the world, yeah.
Speaker 1I had it. I had it there because the conjuring was good. I had it there because the Conjuring was good. I thought it was scary. I had some criticism about it. I did like that. It was a very popular movie when it came out. I had my general critiques about the movie. I called it good for a couple of reasons. One because I remember watching this for the first time and it was um, it was a uh. What should we call it? Not strictly? Oh, bootleg there you go.
Speaker 1yeah, and it was so dark that you could barely see anything. So you weren't even scared when the scary things happened, because you're like what happened, what? So when I watched it for the first time, like legit, I was underwhelmed because it was still too dark. I was kind of upset. I'm like this is kind of a ridiculous way to shoot a movie like this. So that was where I put it B3, the gray I put in B2. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3You put the gray above the conjuring.
Speaker 1I put the gray above the conjuring. That is interesting and the reason why was because the conjuring was more in psychological survival, psychological, uh, trauma, and the Grey kind of kept us in the survival routine and I liked almost everything about the Grey. I did have some complaints about the end, but TJ straightened me out because he was like no, watch the credits, because it was in the credits that you see him lying there and the wolf was dead and he was barely breathing.
Speaker 2I was like I need you to give me a season point, like he's done, there's?
Speaker 1no, there's no other way around it. I did feel like the original when they just lunged at each other. I thought that left me hanging and I got so angry at that. You can assume that the wolf won that fight okay yeah, that's fine, but like why can't you just? Why can't you just?
Speaker 3I'm adding for me why? Why do you have to leave?
Speaker 1me hanging. So when dj corrected that, I was like okay, all right, this is, this was a good movie and that was where I left it. Uh, interesting the martian. This one's gonna shock you guys, because you made some really good points and a lot of this. I may have not taken good enough notes and I think I might have um undervalued the uh the watch experience, but I marked it as uh b1, so it was good, good one.
Speaker 1It was the top of wait, I thought the gray was b1 no, the uh gray was above the conjuring uh, but the martian was above the gray in good okay, that is very interesting.
Speaker 3I would never have guessed that I liked almost everything about it.
Final Movies & Reshuffling Rankings
Speaker 1I loved his quips right, I'm the first colonizer of of mars, I'm a pirate. All of those little quips right, I'm the first colonizer of Mars, I'm a pirate. All of those little quips that he kept coming up with. I loved all of those things. There were some inconsistencies that really bothered me. The sandstorm could never have happened the way it happened. There is not enough atmosphere to cause that much damage. So there was a lot of plot, weaponry to move the story along, but still a good movie. Then we go to the Conjuring 2. Now this is where you guys forgot. You both said it, you both said it out loud. I think you liked it more Than the Conjuring 1. And you're absolutely right, I liked the Conjuring 2 a lot more than the Conjuring 1. I put it at A in the great category and you can put it at A4.
Speaker 3Oh, so just swapping Avatar and the Conjuring 2.
Speaker 1Well, this is really going to surprise you. Avatar belongs in A3. Okay, I told you guys that I really did like this movie. I had no complaints, other than the fact that it was Pocahontas in space.
Speaker 3I'm glad it reads a little higher.
Speaker 1But I was being the contrarian on the episode. I was being the contrarian on the episode. It was intended for comedic value and for suspense. I needed to be the what do you call it? The bad guy, the heel. I needed to be the heel of that episode. Life of Pi is in the right spot.
Speaker 3Okay, life of pi.
Speaker 1Uh is in the right spot okay and the conjuring three is in b4.
Speaker 3Okay, okay right under the conjuring yeah, okay, and so just so you guys don't get mad.
Speaker 1Uh, tj got the full point for that because he actually put it in the right spot, but it was moved later by other things and other things didn't get the point. So it all worked out In 1408, I put that in B6. Okay.
Speaker 3So above War of the Worlds, up below b6 okay, so above or the worlds and below.
Speaker 1Yeah, this is what's really going to shock you. Uh, 1408 was a really good, really fun movie. Uh, a lot of problems with it. Right, electronics aren't supposed to work in it, but yet he had his recorder working the whole time. He had his laptop to call his wife or his ex-wife.
Speaker 2Uh, just inconsistencies and problems, but the twists and turns made it all worth the watch what we're gonna do, josh, because I'm pretty sure we're gonna be close now eric, you make some very compelling arguments enough. It's not for signs to win by three points.
Speaker 3It is S2.
Speaker 1I thought so.
Speaker 3It's so iconic.
Speaker 1You make really good arguments. We will address this in a second War of the Worlds. Belongs in A2.
Speaker 3What. That's surprising, that's very shocking War of the.
Speaker 1Worlds. That is, that's surprising. That's very shocking. War of the worlds is a. It's an iconic story, but it's retold and it's, it's not great well, I mean, I I think the movie is is actually an excellent movie. I thought it was a lot fun, I thought they did a lot of things that were interesting and different and, uh, it was a very interesting take which this is the old take on the story that it was the bacteria of earth that killed the aliens not humans.
Speaker 3I like that. I think it's a good movie.
Speaker 1I personally don't think it's a great movie, but I actually love that movie and have watched it multiple times I'm so shocked you put it above cooties you guys are really going to be shocked, then cooties correct.
Speaker 3Josh goes to c2 you know, I'm actually not uh and that's uh bad right? Yeah, yeah, mind you knew it's a good, bad movie.
Speaker 1Mind you, I thought I was rating on grades A, b, c, so I was calling it like an average movie, not a bad movie the perfect mid-tier movie, yeah, but I think that's a good bad movie.
Speaker 2Basically, Eric fucked up the episode.
Speaker 3Well, I still think this is accurate Because I basically it's like shark movies, the, the episode. Well, I still think this is accurate because I would put like a lot of the shark movies in c as well.
Speaker 1It's just a good bad movie. It's a. It's a really good bad movie. I enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 2There was a lot of stupidity to it, but but, alex, he had a truck with dual rear wheels. Yes, we know. Sorry, what was that? Dual rear, rear, dual rear wheels?
Speaker 1Yes, we know, sorry, what was that Dual?
Speaker 3rear wheels.
Speaker 2Dual rear wheels. Dual wheel rear wheel Dual dual.
Speaker 1dual Castaway belongs in Iconic. Fuck yeah, concrete nigga.
Speaker 3I was conflicted between Castaway and Signs, of which one I thought would go in Iconic.
Speaker 1That was a lock for me.
Speaker 3But that's why I said I was going to put Signs in Iconic, no matter what Bro.
Speaker 2Castaway, though you know, like Wilson.
Speaker 3That's like People still say, wilson you know, Even when I was arguing it, I was like there's no way Signs beats Castaway for the Iconic slot.
Speaker 1But that's why I think there should have been two. But now, the day after tomorrow, cj, put it in the right spot. Cj, tj. I have it. I have it written. C1 and then tj, so cj tj put it in the right spot. Then it got moved, then you moved it back. So I gave you both a point for that josh said dual wheel rears nice.
Speaker 2He said the purge and this one.
Speaker 1This one really interests me because both of you forgot exactly what I said. We rated this out of five. Do you remember that, tj? We rated all three movies out of five at the end of election day.
Speaker 2I do not remember the fucking. I think it was a five out of five so this?
Speaker 1actually, no one it was. It was three, five, four oh three, five, four. The Purge was B5.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 1The Purge 2 was A5.
Speaker 3Oh, you liked Anarchy.
Speaker 1I liked Anarchy and Election Day was A6.
Speaker 3Well, I got to say I think you're just wrong, but that's fair.
Speaker 1I think TJ and I both rated the Purge in that same order.
Speaker 2Yeah, I just didn't remember. I don't remember you liking Anarchy.
Speaker 3I thought you really disliked Anarchy. He rated one higher than I did I think you said 4liked Anarchy.
Speaker 1He rated one higher than I did. I think you said 4, 5, 5. I think that was how you rated the three.
Speaker 3I think I said like 5, 3, 4.
Alex Reveals His True Rankings
Speaker 1I'm pretty sure TJ and I were pretty close in our ratings of the Purge movies.
Speaker 2I know we were close.
Speaker 1One was the lowest for both of us.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay Well.
Speaker 1So that's the rating and that brings up the winner. Tj, do you want to do a drumroll?
Speaker 2I'll slap my titties, that's how we're looking for it.
Speaker 1And the winner is Eric.
Speaker 3Woo, how many points. I think I deserve this.
Speaker 1By a half a point. Get hey, josh. Nope, nope, I won hey.
Speaker 2Josh, do you want a screenshot?
Speaker 3what you already said in my chat 10 minutes ago this is the season finale. Josh, Please don't screw me on this.
Speaker 1Season finale. No, Josh, I think you should give me three points.
Speaker 3I don't think that would let you win still, yeah but it would take it away from both of you.
Speaker 1Guys would have to duke it out.
Speaker 3That is true, but I already won. We're going to have to have uh oh, is this the tiebreaker? Yeah, this is the tiebreaker.
Speaker 1Oh, you've just given up wait so if you get okay, josh, if you give tj three points, you're just gonna tie them again no, no in in my chat he said season point.
Speaker 3Gosh, are you really going to give TJ a season point Right at the end?
Speaker 1But you're going to get three points, aren't you?
Speaker 3Yeah, well, yeah, that's true, I get three points.
Speaker 1So you're up by two.
Speaker 3Technically.
Speaker 1If we run the numbers Season winner. Yeah, if we run the numbers.
Speaker 3I think I'm up by a lot more. But who's the season winner? I think it's me.
Speaker 1I'm pretty sure from what you guys said. You came into this episode as a tie 10 and 10, 10 and 10 Eric won those aren't accurate numbers it's supposed to be three.
Speaker 3It's 10 times three for me, and then however many you won times three, plus the extra points that Josh gave you, which is probably like two or three. So I think ultimately I'm still up by like six to nine points.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3Plus this episode. So I think it's fair to assume I won by the numbers, but I mean we can calculate if we want.
Speaker 2I'm pretty sure I could go back and check how many he's given me.
Speaker 1And just so you guys know, this was all above board.
Speaker 2Wow so what was it. Josh, Was it? Was it three points or a season point?
Speaker 3Clarifying no, you could give them three game points, oh he's trying to give him three game points so that he wins this episode.
Speaker 2So that would up my season point.
Speaker 3Josh, I, oh, that doesn't that doesn't count, because you do you, josh. However, it's in the Constitution. This is the season finale, no no no.
Speaker 2Josh is in the Constitution. We wrote him into the Constitution.
Speaker 1He is. We definitely did. We definitely did. However, remember the game points are judged by the host.
Speaker 3Yeah, true, but Josh, he can just give them out.
Speaker 2He can give out three or one.
Speaker 1And he can absolutely give out any game points. However, remember that it's based on how the host judges the game.
Speaker 3Yeah, but you did say that I mean, this is against me. If I was smart I'd shut up here. You did say, I only won by a half point.
Speaker 1Yeah, so if I got three points, you only won the tier by half a point, but the episode.
Speaker 3Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1I guess we don't know the episode points. If I calculate how you guys buttered me up, how you argued, we both buttered up a lot. How you presented the reasoning behind all of your picks. I didn't do that just because I didn't want to bog down in calculating these points, but I really am surprised at how well you both know me, because you both most of the time and it really shocked me because most of the time you guys had the right answer and then you went against it I don't know.
Speaker 3Some of these were a little like.
Speaker 2I feel like I should get an extra point because I don't fucking live with you. I talk to you once a fucking week.
Speaker 3Well whose fault is that you could call him.
Speaker 2No, because I know he's a busy, busy person and he does a great job at his work.
Speaker 3So I don't want to bother him, I still call him.
Speaker 1Wait. So are you guys going to record an episode next week?
Speaker 3We might, Maybe we Eric.
Speaker 2Eric, eric, I don't know, Eric. I think this is how it should go.
Speaker 3Maybe we just record like a fuck around Eric.
Speaker 2I think we both win this episode, handshake deal. It's on camera, it's recorded. We both win. And then guess what? And then guess what Alex hosts Gepardy.
Speaker 3We force him to host Gepardy on the.
Speaker 2Because his name is Alex.
Speaker 1Oh fuck, that's just good. That's good stuff right there. I don't know how to do it, but we'll figure something out, I'm kind of down.
Speaker 3I'm kind of down for that because jeopardy is yeah, I was gonna bring jeopardy back at the beginning of the season. So so you lied, I definitely, yeah, absolutely, because I started out every season since I've been with Gepardy. Who could have seen that coming?
Speaker 1Yeah, that is true. You did start out every season with it.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay. Well then, I feel like that's just becoming a tradition, where we start every season with Gepardy and we end every season with the tier list.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3I'm down TJ.
Speaker 2Handshake deal. Double win Handshake. We split this win together. Yeah, I'm down. Tj handshake deal double win handshake.
Speaker 3We split this win together, we both win the season. And then and then our number one fan official will send us both trophies 3D printed trophies next week we could just do our celebratory podcast episode where we just talk about how awesome we are yeah, we could, we, yeah, we could do that wow, okay, shake you really should just talk about how awesome shaking the hand. Handshake deal has been confirmed we've won I won for the first time in wys history, there's two season winners.
Speaker 2I won dude, let's go. I what I? No, I'm joking I me myself. Josh said maybe not 3D printed, but sure you don't got two jobs.
Speaker 1Oh my God, All right Wait so this is season five.
Speaker 3Right, this was season five. We're going into season six with two winners.
Speaker 2I think, josh, you got to get me and Eric something that says like season five winners.
Speaker 3I don't think we should if Josh can get us anything. But it'll be funny if you wanted to get something and then maybe, maybe Josh send it directly to TJ, because I'm apparently really bad at making it to the post office.
Speaker 2Yeah, you suck Well the challenge coin still it's behind you dang by my tomato yo we can have a josh cameo next episode oh yeah that could be cool.
Speaker 3Wait, yeah, have him as our third for you, he could fill in for me special special guest host, but we'll call him Alex the whole time.
Speaker 2Don't address it whatsoever.
Speaker 1Yeah, not at all, not at all. Just pretend like it's one of those sitcoms where they change a person and like We'll just be like, yeah, and we're joined here with a loser, Alex. Completely different person and they don't even like address it yeah, I'm kind of down for that.
Speaker 2Yeah, either he can be a host, or we just like have him fucking record an audio or something because he might be working or something great episode, oh whoa whoops, great yeah, great episode. Now personally, I would put Code Black our episode on Iconic. It goes way above Cast Away, but you know.
Speaker 3Yeah, but we didn't do that, so it's fine.
Speaker 2Next tier list.
Speaker 1Code Black is good. I'm ready for part two. Look, if we had to rate them, I guess it's part three.
Speaker 3I was going to put it in bad if we had to rate it. Wow, I guess it's part three.
Speaker 2I was going to put it in bad if we had to rate it. Wow, rate what Okay?
Speaker 3If we had to rate all the episode ideas, Look 1 to 100, S tier Code black. Bottom of good, Top bad.
Speaker 1Okay, tarp equals map.
Speaker 2Tarp does not.
Speaker 3Oh S tier.
Speaker 2S tier Tarp equals square, equals map.
Speaker 1Tarp equals square.
Speaker 3Square equals. Map tarp equals square square equals map.
Speaker 1I love it and I still stand by that logic. All right, you know what I'm gonna give you credit. You've stood by it the entire time I will not back down.
Speaker 3You have not now you have not.
Speaker 2That's okay, it's all right somehow got to turn that into a shirt host. Oh, get us, get us All right everybody.
