Speaker 1:

What say you, sir? What say you?

Speaker 2:

Sounds like oh we're doing it live.

Speaker 1:

You hit the button.

Speaker 2:

Hey, welcome to Interest in this. It's a podcast. It's about movies, it's about TV shows and video games.

Speaker 1:

My name's Tom, with me I have Mitch and I was just going to sit here and see how long before Tom would say something you really should secretly program that button, say I hate it, but not like Hayden.

Speaker 2:

Hayden Brandon, it should be just Hayden saying his name Hayden. From one of the Hayden, I'm Hayden.

Speaker 1:

Not a bad idea.

Speaker 2:

We need to go through and just find some dopey catchphrases.

Speaker 1:

We can have our own little buttons. Hayden what do you think about buttons? The Hayden soundboard what do you think about that? Bah? Everybody will be like it's, like he's there. Anyways, you can go to our social media, which is at. Disentertain for our Twitter or entertaindis for our Instagram, our Facebook, youtube and TikTok are all entertainment. Is at this entertained for our twitter? Or entertainedthis for our instagram, our facebook, youtube and tiktok are all entertaining this exclamation point, so yeah, you can go to all those things man.

Speaker 1:

Well, originally we had an interview scheduled but, um, I had a mishap with a person that I wanted to inflict physical harm on, but I decided not to. But uh, my truck destroyed his car because he pulled out in front of me but in the process the truck sustained damage yeah, so it uh, so it kind of derailed our interview.

Speaker 1:

That hopefully we can reschedule with the person for a later date, next, maybe next recording, um, but anyway. So our idea for today has kind of changed our panic, our panic idea. So me and tom both have come up with 10 movies that we both feel are the most rewatchable and I don't say rewatchable, these I mean, but they are.

Speaker 2:

But these are um what I?

Speaker 1:

just a good watching movie it's movies that, like you know if you're flipping through you see it, you throw it on.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't matter where. If it's the last half hour, you know it's 20 minutes in already it's the middle of the movie. It doesn't matter where. If it's the last half hour, you know it's 20 minutes in already, it's the middle of the movie. It doesn't matter. You're just like oh, and you just put it on, just to put something on, and you just sit there and then you just sit up watching it. Yeah yeah, like you've seen it, you know what happens, but you just and you're just happy sitting there, enjoying it watching it.

Speaker 1:

I don't. I'm pretty sure Tom didn't, but I didn't either write down my stuff in any particular order.

Speaker 2:

No, none of these are in any particular.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I will say probably my number one is so some are better than others, but these are just like the 10 that we consider Like. If it's on, I'm watching it.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to click yeah, I'll watch that for right now.

Speaker 1:

Everybody else is like okay, next episode. But I'll start off with one of mine, which is 22 Jump Street.

Speaker 2:

Really.

Speaker 1:

Not 21. Because to me, the most hilarious moment in both of those movies combined is when he sits down and Schmidt has been dating somebody and he slept with her. And what's the?

Speaker 2:

Oh, and like Jenny Tatum, yeah. Jenny Like figures it out after like everybody, and what's the oh? And like Channing Tatum like figures it out after like everybody, and the couch is like staring at him. Ice Cube's just giving him this look and he goes and he's like running around telling everybody.

Speaker 1:

He's like ah, you high-fived him for sleeping with your daughter, ah, and he starts prancing around more, out more, because it sits back down and then, uh, ice cube just like, points the gun at him it's like oh, it's really not that funny that almost kind of makes me sad they didn't do 23 jump street I know, I like how

Speaker 1:

they had something there at the end of the movie they have like 22 or 23, jump street 24 and it just keeps showing like chef school, culinary, uh, like art school, you know, diving school, just random, stupid crap that would be pretty funny but uh, that's uh to me that that movie is like to them two together in that situation. It's just it was a very good combo yeah, they fed off of it very, very well yeah, and then having ice cube being like the straight man, like pissed off, you know, know.

Speaker 2:

Angry yeah.

Speaker 1:

And like when he shows up at his daughter's like school dinner or whatever, and he's like he meets Schmidt like there with his daughter for the first time, and he's like, oh, oh, he's like I'm a pissed off angry man, so I'm going to have me some green beans and he's just like smacking him on the plate and Queen Latifah's just like okay, yeah, yeah, I love this movie. It's one of those. If I see it, I'll just finish watching wherever it starts at.

Speaker 2:

Let's just find out how this all pans out again.

Speaker 1:

All right, what's?

Speaker 2:

one of yours Animal House.

Speaker 1:

Animal House. I haven't seen that in a long time.

Speaker 2:

Animal House to me. I mean it's the pinnacle of a frat boy movie.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, it's an old movie now.

Speaker 2:

It's old, but it's still very timeless and it's very accurate.

Speaker 1:

It was old when we were young.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, it came out in 1978 or 79. But John Belushi, kevin Bacon, I mean.

Speaker 1:

Tim.

Speaker 2:

Matheson, a slew of other you know 80s actors.

Speaker 1:

I do like when Belushi's sitting there I forgot what he's doing. But he's sitting there, he's holding like the jar of mustard.

Speaker 2:

And he just dumps it on his. He's like what are you doing? Or he's trying to cheer up Flounder and he's like yeah, like you know, ash is on the side of his own head. He's just like clean. He's like ah D-Day or Bruce McGill, where he just comes gunning up the stairs at the party and he stops, he pops a beer and he starts doing the flick in his neck thing and playing it like an instrument and it's just like it doesn't matter where you end up in that movie.

Speaker 1:

Or where they show up at the wrong bar yeah, they walk in and everybody stops or where they're planning.

Speaker 2:

They get kicked off campus. Their charter gets revoked, yeah, and it's just like was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 2:

And he's like the Germans and he goes, forget it, he's on a roll and they just keep letting him go. It's like, no, he's right. What this requires is a really futile and stupid gesture. And we're just the guys to do it and they're like, or just all going, toga, toga, toga, toga, toga, like. There's so much of that movie in my college experience that it's yeah, that was 78, but it was still happening in 2012 or 2011.

Speaker 1:

Yeah it's. I mean, it's a funny movie, it's one of yours, it's not one of mine.

Speaker 2:

It's a funny movie that it doesn't matter where you get into it. If you see it on, there's nothing else. You're going to watch Animal House, especially if you've seen it. If you have no clue what we're even talking about and you've been to college, watch the movie. If you don't get it, you went to the wrong college.

Speaker 1:

I went to college I wasn't in a fraternity, though, so it's all right, don't play your movie, it's all right. It's all right. What's?

Speaker 2:

your next one then, mr.

Speaker 1:

The next one I have on my list is one that I put on this morning because I was like you're just putting something on in the background.

Speaker 2:

It's rocky four you know, I thought rocky four and I'm glad. Let me ask do you have back to the future on there, do not? Oh yeah, that'll be an honorable mention. Rocky four, that's the pinnacle of america versus the soviet union. Like that. And Miracle, yeah, like, but, or you know, red Dawn.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But Rocky IV is like Hearts on Fire, where he's got workout montage. He's climbing up the mountain in the music. He loses the KGB guys, he gets the top.

Speaker 1:

Drago Like when, when, uh, uh, what's it when? Dolph Lundgren, If he dies, he dies.

Speaker 2:

I must break you Poof. He like slaps his hands.

Speaker 1:

That and like the whole story, like you know, of Celestial actually getting punched in the chest comes to mind.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because, like the production, like they told, like hey, let's just get like 10 to 15 seconds of just good footage of us beating the snot out of each other, Like don't pull the punches, hit me, like I'm going other, like don't pull the punches, hit me, like I'm gonna hit you, you hit me. This way we can edit and like a different camera angle so they can put it in the fight. And dolph lundgren's, like you sure, yeah, come on. Then he punched him so hard in the chest like his heart swelled up and he was in like the icu for like a week because he almost killed him.

Speaker 1:

It's like damn, maybe we won't do that again. Yeah, I mean, I love watching that movie because it starts off at a little bit faster pace than the other Rocky movies, because it starts off with you know he's coming in and yeah, Rocky's like retired yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know he's wealthy, you know he's kind of hung it up and he's just like hanging out. He's like Apollo's like coming back for back for a celeb fight against this Russian guy, yeah, and he's like I'll be your manager and he's training for it. He's taking it lightly and he's like this guy's not taking this lightly.

Speaker 1:

Right, he's here to knock your head through the wall. Yeah, he's going to prove a point.

Speaker 2:

And then the cool montage of them working out and Rocky's just lifting up carts full of rocks yeah, it's full of rocks and like nets and running in the mountains of Russia and like Drago's in like a state of the art, like Soviet facility, he's just getting injected with anabolic steroids as he's like working out and you're watching him. Like punch and like the PSI, like his pounds per pressure per punch is like going up in like quadruple digits and it's like, oh my God, the dude's a maniac.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean I enjoy watching this movie because, like I said, it's got a good pace. The other Rocky movies are good, but this one starts off pretty quick with Apollo's fight and then his training and then their fight.

Speaker 2:

He grabs the picture off the mirror. Hearts on Fire is like the best workout song ever.

Speaker 1:

Hearts on Fire and Mighty Because of Rocky.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Hearts on Fire and then Mighty Wings by Cheap Trick from Top Gun. Top Gun, that's enough. Did you have Top Gun? I did not. Top Gun.

Speaker 1:

All right, what's another one on your list?

Speaker 2:

Top Gun.

Speaker 1:

We'll say that one later.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I might cross one off and add Top Gun Caddyshack.

Speaker 1:

I could see that yeah.

Speaker 2:

I could pick up Caddyshack wherever it happened.

Speaker 1:

Rodney.

Speaker 2:

Dangerfield is just too amazing.

Speaker 1:

I like when Bill Murray's he's like doing like the.

Speaker 2:

He's like narrating himself, while he's like hitting the flowers. It's a Cinderella story. The kids come out of nowhere. It's in the hole. It's in the hole. He's just having his own little moment, or he's caddying for the priest and it's like lightning and thundering and he's like no come on. He's like so it's the best run I've ever played in my life. And he misses and he shouts god damn it when he sees the club, I'm going to get struck by lightning.

Speaker 2:

Now, this is the same movie where Chevy Chase is going na-na-na-na-na-na, perfectly. She's like no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1:

I couldn't remember if that was this movie or if it was something else.

Speaker 2:

I think your club sucks. So so, so, so, so.

Speaker 1:

How about a fresca?

Speaker 2:

Bill Murray is making the little clay animals out of C4. To defeat my enemy, I must become my enemy. He makes the dopey face across his eyes and even like the Scottish, like groundskeeper was like I need you to go and kill all the gophers. He goes. If I kill all the gophers, they're going to lock me up and throw away the key. He's like the gophers and he goes oh yeah, we could do that.

Speaker 2:

He's like we don't even need a reason. And then you, I'm all right, don't nobody worry about me. Rodney Dangerfield stole that whole movie Because it was originally written. It was supposed to be like the caddies, it was like Caddyshack, but then they brought in Rodney, they brought in Chevy Chase I can't remember the guy's name who plays Judge Smales and then Bill Murray, but each one of them was bringing so much to the table and it was so much comedy and star power. They were like we got to rework this, like they were rewriting the script, like middle of the movie and like redoing the entire thing.

Speaker 2:

And like even Rodney, like he was paranoid, like he was like losing it Because, like a lot of the other people didn't like him Because he's he was funny and he was stealing a lot of their moments. But Rodney would freak out, he'd do a take and then he'd come off and he's like I'm bombing out there, kid, not the main caddy, but the other one who was smoking and worked out, and he's like I'm bombing. He's like what are you talking about? He's like we're dying. He's like we can't laugh. We're filming he. He's like it's not a comedy club, rodney, like you're.

Speaker 1:

You are annihilating out there though and he's like all right and he went back out there and, you know, obviously made like one of the best 80s comedy movies of all time well, my next one, and it might be more of a personal thing for me, because I just enjoy superhero stuff, but it's batman 89 you know what? The original batman I could see that for you because Because, at any point on there, I love watching when they come in the very first scene where you see Batman on the rooftop and he's like holding, he goes, hi, batman.

Speaker 2:

Tell your friends about me.

Speaker 1:

He's like or let the car chase after the art.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, even Jack Nicholson stole that whole movie. You wouldn't think him playing the Joker. If you had no clue, you never saw the movie. It's like Jack Nicholson playing the Joker. When would the 80s Like the late 80s? Yeah, it's like what.

Speaker 1:

And then you watch it go. No, he was. To me. One of my favorite scenes of all in a superhero movie is the Batmobile After he saves Vicki Vale and they're driving back to the Batcave. They're driving down all those dark roads with just leaves everywhere. To me, that's the most awesome scene.

Speaker 2:

You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight and he's like what he goes? I don't know what it means he goes. I just like saying it before I kill people. He shoots him.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I love that movie. He shoots him. Yeah, I love that movie. I like when they're getting into the fight at the end and he's like you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you? He hits him in the mouth and he, like, spits out his little chattering teeth.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that was. He really did a great job. Like you know people talk about like Heath Ledger's Joker, yeah, and I'm like you know what Nicholson he played, like that I don't really know a great way to describe it, but you knew he was evil, it oozed out of him. He was being obnoxiously comical about it, but you could see that threatening layer was just snaking its way out.

Speaker 1:

In the scene where he comes into Vicky's apartment and Bruce is already there, but he comes in.

Speaker 2:

Where he's talking and then he smashes the thing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you can see he's unhinged. But he's all nice and stuff. I love that movie.

Speaker 2:

It's a good movie.

Speaker 1:

What's another one of yours? Predator, yeah, predator we talked about that when we reviewed Predator.

Speaker 2:

You can pick up Predator wherever you want. End of the movie. The last 10 minutes where Arnold fights Predator At the beginning with her flying. Listen to Long Tall Sally by Little Richard and the. Hueys. It's just a good watching movie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 2:

It is a lot of fun and it's the most testosterone-fueled action movie you ever saw in your life. No other movie has met that level Because it's, you know, oh cool Special Forces guys, oh Arnold, yeah, macho movie. And he's like Dylan and you get like the biceps and the forearms.

Speaker 1:

It's just like, and everybody's just like yeah, because at no point in that movie are you going to get in there and be like, okay, this is kind of slow and kind of boring the that movie. Are you going to get in there and be like okay this is. This is kind of slow, kind of boring. The whole thing is fun, it's just action.

Speaker 2:

If it's not action, it's setting up the action and each character. Like you know, it's not like arnold, just overshadowing, right? You know six other guys.

Speaker 1:

Each one of them had a presence yeah, they all had their own personality, their own contribution to the movie exactly, and that's what makes it a good watching movie well, onto my uh. Next one is Remember the Titans, because I played football. I loved football.

Speaker 2:

If I see that movie on, I can sit down and start watching, no matter where I get goosebumps still when I see the movie and they're playing like the last game or not the last game, it's like the second to last game. He's like you're going to blitz all night, or he's like not another yard.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I do too.

Speaker 2:

He's like any time they gain an inch, I'll take each and every one of you out of this game. You blitz all night. You make them remember forever the night they played the Titans and I was just like where's my pads?

Speaker 1:

I'm just listening to you. I can goof off right there.

Speaker 2:

And I was just listening to you. I can get goosebumps right there and I was just like you know what, I'll suit back up and play free safety. Let me lay out one of those dudes. Put me on a safety blitz.

Speaker 1:

There's another part, like when Rev gets hurt and he's like oh I swear I audible. So they put in sunshine.

Speaker 2:

Sunshine and he tells not the fridge.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to call him the fridge. I know he Frankie in Boy Meets World. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I can't remember his name.

Speaker 1:

Ethan Sipley.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can't remember his name in the movie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't remember.

Speaker 2:

Basket Bass no no.

Speaker 1:

That's Ronnie Bass. Ronnie Bass, the Sunshine.

Speaker 2:

Laskit or something oh.

Speaker 1:

Lasky.

Speaker 2:

Lasky yeah, where he tells you.

Speaker 1:

And then, like the guy he throws the ball, the guy comes to hit and he like, flips him over, and then was it, Petey walks up. That's a bad white boy.

Speaker 2:

Or they were playing one game, like the opening, like they're on defense and the offense like was just lighting them up. Yeah, and Coach Boo was just like who the hell do they think they? Are the New York Jets.

Speaker 1:

And I also like when they first go to camp and they uh, they run some through Gettysburg.

Speaker 2:

Well, he runs them to Gettysburg.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Well, there's that. But like when they're getting on the buses, he's like oh who's your daddy? Come on now.

Speaker 2:

You must be cherry. That makes you Dean Martin.

Speaker 1:

There's that, and then when they finally get to camp, they, they, uh, was it, uh, I, was it? The two main guys, what's their name? The one that gets put in the wheelchair? Gary, gary and Julius, that's right.

Speaker 2:

It's amazing how you, when you growing up in high school like you, watched this movie three times a year.

Speaker 1:

I knew Bertier, but I was trying to remember what his first name was, yeah, gary Bertier. But when the two of them first, you know, have to root together and they start fighting Ryan.

Speaker 2:

Gosling walks in and he goes fight. Yeah, goofy-looking Ryan Gosling.

Speaker 1:

So they all come in. He's trying to stay out of the way as everybody else starts fighting. He's trying to get up against the door. He gets pulled in in two. No, I love that movie. Then it's the sad part At the end, because it starts off at the funeral and then ends at the funeral. It's a really good movie. I really like it. I actually found out it was actually filmed in downtown Covington, where me and my wife we go there and eat at a restaurant because if you've ever watched the show the Vampire Diaries, they have the Mystic Grill, so me and her would go there and we'd eat there. I found out that that was actually filmed on that square as well, where he gets hit by the car and when they're like walking around, you know after football games and stuff like that. It was all filmed on that square. So that's pretty cool.

Speaker 2:

It's just a good-watching movie. It is what's my next one. I said it was the Godfather.

Speaker 1:

First.

Speaker 2:

Godfather, part one, not part two, or definitely not part three, definitely not.

Speaker 1:

No, so tell me why? Because I was never a big fan of Godfather.

Speaker 2:

There's just so much gravitas to every freaking scene in that movie, like it is just like, overwhelmingly well done. It's perfectly shot, perfectly executed, perfectly acted. It's a benchmark that few have ever come close to. Everybody dominates in a scene. And then, like, there's certain scenes where, like you know, you see, you know obviously the beginning of the movie, you know, martin Brando, vito Corleone, runs the Corleone family Undisputed, like it opens at the wedding day, where he's, like you know, pulling like a godfather, like you know, pulling like a Godfather, like a Sicilian Godfather stunt. Where, like people come and ask him favors on his daughter the day of his daughter's wedding, today, on the day of your daughter's wedding, and you know his like whole motion, he's in the tux, the cat, the whole thing, like how he, effortlessly, he's that guy, like he is just that guy. You don't even see Marlon Brando, you just see Don Corleone. Like that he is it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then the great acting and transition of Michael, who didn't want to be Part of the family business. He was at Dartmouth. You know, his older brother Was a mobster. His other Older brother, fredo, he's a putz but he's still a mobster, he's a putz yeah.

Speaker 2:

The family, you know one of the five families, one of his power families in New York, you know, and he, you know, college boy dropped out, joined the Marines, you know, like I don't think he got the Medal of Honor but like Distinguished Service Cross or something In the Pacific, comes back for the wedding and then, like you know, kind of like stuck with the family and you know dad gets shot, you know he protects him.

Speaker 2:

You know Sonny's going crazy, you know he gets beat up. And then, like, the coolest scene to me is where they're all sitting there and they're trying to figure out how to get Salazzo killed because he's the one who ordered the hit on Don Colio, on Vito, and Michael's sitting there and you see, like this transition where, like he's shot in light and then as he's talking, like he's suddenly shot in shade, like you see, like the transition to where he's like now lined up with them, where he's just like you know he's like, tell him we want to arrange a meeting. Tell him it's going to be somewhere like at a bar or a restaurant with his people, somewhere I feel safe. They're going to be somewhere like at a bar or a restaurant with his people, somewhere I feel safe. They're going to search me before I get there so I can't have a weapon on me. If we have a weapon planted there in advance and have our people find out our informants, I'll kill them both.

Speaker 2:

And they were like, and then they started laughing and then you know he goes through, like you know, hey, it's like we got. You know it's a corrupt cop. He got caught up in the rackets and got what was coming. He's like we got people on the payroll in the newspapers. He's like maybe they like a story like that. And then Robert Duvall's like they just might and everybody just like kind of looks and like you watch the scene and everybody's just kind of like Michael got the brains, like he. You know, sonny was violence, fredo was the putz, michael was the true puppeteer of cunning and then at the end where he like concedes, like a lot of stuff, and then he has all heads of the families whacked simultaneously and it's like it's just one of those good. It's a long movie so you pick up pretty much anywhere. Okay, but it's just one of the most well-done films you ever saw.

Speaker 1:

Okay, but it's just one of the most well-done films you ever saw. Okay, yeah, I mean I remember like a little bit of Godfather II where like he's like make me another. I can't refuse. Is that number two?

Speaker 2:

That's the first one.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's the first one okay, that's where he introduces Diane Keaton, because she's like who's that big guy talking to himself? And it's Luca Brasi, okay. And he's like it's Luca Brasi. It's worse for my father. It's like it was something to do and he's just like you know. So he told me he's like I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. And she's like what was the offer? Because it was like 10 grand he was going to pay him to just have this guy Mabernoff. He couldn't refuse. Like what? Luca Brasi held a gun to his head and my father assured him your brains or your signature can be on this paper.

Speaker 1:

Godfathers are good, but I was always more of a Casino and Goodfellas.

Speaker 2:

Goodfellas is another one that's right up there. I mean, Goodfellas is really one of these kinds of movies.

Speaker 1:

Those were always my mafia movies that I liked.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, goodfellas. I float between which one I want to watch. If I see both, I'd probably watch Godfather, okay, but if Goodfellas is on my whole life, all I ever want to do is be a gangster.

Speaker 1:

Okay, my next one is Encino man. Really you remember that movie, right, brendan Fraser, brendan.

Speaker 2:

Fraser Pauly Shore. Yeah, he's frozen, they thaw him and they got to get him back in modern times.

Speaker 1:

He's a caveman.

Speaker 2:

He's a caveman I haven't seen that movie in probably 20 years.

Speaker 1:

He's a caveman. He gets unthawed, he goes back to high school with him and he's like squeezing the juice. And you got Pauly Shore going.

Speaker 2:

Pauly Shore, what a mess you got.

Speaker 1:

You know we went to the what was it? Thunder Mountain buddy. I always loved that movie cause, like, at any point, it's just comedic to me. It's comedic gold cause you got the part where he gets out and he's like fighting with him. He's like jumping on the bed and he turns on, turns on the little lighter and he's like, oh, is it flame Fire? Then he takes the lighter and starts making a fire. In the corner of the room the fire alarm goes off and they all look at each other and it pans into each one of their eyes and they go ah, ah, ah. Then he storms off out of the room. Or, when he's trying to learn how to fight, he starts watching WWF videos. He picks up Sean Astin, puts him on his shoulder, starts spinning around in circles and then just tosses him and then, like when he first walks in, after being like brought back, he steps on the remote and it's Austin or not Austin Powers Terminator shows up on the screen and he's like, I'll be back.

Speaker 2:

I'll be back.

Speaker 1:

Or like when they go to the ice rink and the bully comes in like, confronts him, punches him in the face and then the two, like little nerdy kids to the side, go. Whoa, did you see that? The new guy took it. I love that movie when he confuses the. Radmobile for his driver's ed class. He pops the driver's ed car up on two wheels. You got Sean Astin's feet sticking out the other side because he jumps in the window.

Speaker 2:

I forgot Sean Astin was in that movie.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I love that movie.

Speaker 2:

I remember Sean Astin as the kid from the Goonies, sam from Lord of the Rings and the guy in the fishnet from 51st Dates. It's a smoothie.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I told you that I'd ordered something earlier. My wife just texted me. She thinks I have a girlfriend Like I have another time, Like I have another. You know enough.

Speaker 2:

You're living an altered life.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I told her I was like you know, cause I'd bought something that had some girl's name on it. They got delivered from eBay and she was like I was just making sure it wasn't your girlfriend. Yeah, Like I got that kind of time. We barely have time, much less somebody else.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, exactly Like this is. This is a lot of time, you know, management in the making for me and Mitch to sit here for a few hours and sit across the table.

Speaker 1:

I got this text in the middle of this. She was confronting me about why I had some other girl sending me a package. It just popped up.

Speaker 2:

You got some other girl sending you Megazords now.

Speaker 1:

What am I to you? So I might have bought a few Megazords. I got Pyramidus.

Speaker 2:

I got one for my birthday. Mitch gave me one. I got the White Tiger Zord. Yeah, I bought two of those I have wanted this since I was like three years old and I saw it on TV and on Power Rangers, like I had a dream. I owned it and I woke up and I was pissed that it was a dream because I wanted that Megazord. You couldn't find it and now I'm 31, and I got it.

Speaker 1:

Anyways, I had bought Pyramidus and it got delivered while we were here.

Speaker 2:

I want pictures. She was wondering why I had bought something with someone's name coming up anyways after encino man what's?

Speaker 1:

what's? Another one of yours? Uh, the great escape. The great escape, that's the one where steve mcqueen, james gardner, where they did they tunnel out of the camp?

Speaker 2:

yeah, uh, I mean richard attenborough, who, uh?

Speaker 1:

james coburn, charles bronson I don't think I've ever actually seen the movie the main doctor guy, I think from from Bones, the older guy Every time. When I think of the Great Escape, though, I think of the guys from Top Gear when they're talking about it and they go and visit the movie set.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean there's a lot of movies about it, but I mean it's a huge production. I remember seeing the movie and just being enthralled with it, and it doesn't matter where I pick up in the movie. How old is the movie it came out in 1960. Oh okay, yeah, no, no, no, I don't think it came out. I think it came out in like 1963 or 4. I'll tell you while I talk about it.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I mean, this is the one where, like they tunnel under and it like, yeah, they had they started three tunnels simultaneously. They can only do a little at a time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they can only do a little bit at a time, but I mean they had, like in 1963 is when it came out, but they had like forgers, tunnel guys like air ventilation, lighting, like there was like a whole to-do of like stooges and guys who like any time the guards were going to come, like some dude like like put his pipe in his mouth, another guy like emptied a cup and then someone did one knock and the whole thing stopped.

Speaker 1:

So there were inmates, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean they're, they're prisoners of war and like they get you know in the beginning, like they bring uh, he's the group commander over, he's he over, he's the highest ranking guy, basically, and he's in charge of the other prisoners as they're de facto because of rank. And you know, the Germans are, like you know, every escape artist. Like this guy's escaped like six times, 10 times, 15 times, all recaptured, all recaptured, all recaptured. It's like this time we've built a new camp to keep all of you under close observation, like these guys were specially trained to watch them.

Speaker 1:

But under a close observation, Like these guys were specially trained to watch them. But you put all of the escape artists in one spot and didn't think they were going to think of something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's like we're putting all of our rotten eggs in one basket and we intend to watch that basket very carefully and it's like, oh, very wise, it's just like you, idiot, you just brought the entire they call it the X organization all of them together.

Speaker 1:

All the greatest minds now can work together to figure out a solution. Yes, instead of apart.

Speaker 2:

Like these dudes are the best at getting out. I mean, yeah, they all get recaptured, but I mean you're escaping into a continent that's occupied.

Speaker 2:

Hundreds of miles every direction, germans, but I mean a lot of them. They escaped. They executed 50 of them, which is true, I believe where, like the SS just shot them, they were like, yeah, we're done. And then some of them escaped into Spain, or like on a boat, like a couple of them got out and then, uh, steve McQueen's character, he gets brought back and they call him the cooler King, cause that's what, like like the hole, that's the cooler okay because, like he does something like the first day, they're there and they're like cooler lieutenant hiltz and he like flips up his collar, goes captain, and he's like 20 days he just jumps and he's like thank you.

Speaker 2:

he takes his baseball glove and he just goes and sits there and throws baseball against the wall all day. The germans are like what the hell's wrong with this guy? But it's just, it's just kind of you know that and like the Magnificent Seven, yeah, Just one of those kinds of movies.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Well, my next one is Shaun of the Dead. Yeah, In any moment, because that movie's hilarious all the way through.

Speaker 2:

So especially when they're walking out of the bar. He's just supposed to say freeze.

Speaker 1:

The next morning he's walking to a convenience store and it's like the same sequence he did the day before.

Speaker 2:

He just doesn't notice. That's another one of those movies that's like it's just so obnoxiously well executed. You're just like God, you guys. I hope you guys realize how well you did.

Speaker 1:

Or when they have to try and get Pete's car. They're like Pete.

Speaker 2:

Let's just go up there. It's like, nah, he might be one of them or he might still be annoyed and he just goes. Oi prick. Or like when he meets the first girl that's a zombie and she's like on top of him and he's like Look, I just got out of a relationship and he's like, all right, and she's on top of him and he's like Smile. He's like, hold on, I'll be right back. What?

Speaker 1:

And he's got the disposable camera.

Speaker 2:

It's just so stupid I love that movie. Go to Phil, steal Pete's car. Go to Liz's Rescue Liz. Go to Mom's house, kill Phil, sorry. Go to the Winchester and have a nice cold pint and wait for this whole thing to blow over. It's like the music, yeah, boy.

Speaker 1:

Or he has to go and jump the fence.

Speaker 2:

He's like what you never take a shortcut and he just eats it on the first one and then in Hot Fuzz they do the reverse, where he's just flipping over stuff, and then Nick Frost just storms and just takes out the whole panel.

Speaker 1:

It's a small scene, but when they like, right before they have to get to the winchester he, he walks up the little, the little slide and the camera he's like I'm gonna have a look and he like it's like yeah, you see his feet, and it's like how many? He's like yeah, he just looks very solid like oh no, yeah, I'm just getting high ground. Take a look or they finally sneak in and they're right there by the door and he's like hold on oh, his phone rings.

Speaker 2:

He's like two seconds and they're all just. Even the zombies are like really just staring at him and he goes, oh, and he starts yelling at him and they look, it's like guys and the zombies are like at least they were nice enough to let him have the moment. Yeah, they didn't just try to like, you know, walking Dead just. Yeah, because I love Shaun of the Dead they were beating the crap out of the bartender in sync to the Queen song.

Speaker 1:

He gets stabbed in the head with the oh, that movie's great. That's such a fantastic film. What's your next one?

Speaker 2:

I put the first six Star Wars movies as its own.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I could see that I love Star Wars.

Speaker 2:

You know, actually I'll condense it to the original trilogy.

Speaker 1:

My only problem with Star Wars is that when I watch it I want to sit down and watch the whole thing. I don't know if I have time.

Speaker 2:

There's been times A New Hope is on, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi. It just started. It's been 20 minutes, it's been an hour and it's like, oh cool, Star Wars. And you just pick up. You've seen the movies 100 times, if not 1,000 times, at this point in your lives. If you're old enough, like us, you pretty much can probably write the screenplay yourself. If you had a time machine, you're going to go write Star Wars before George Lucas does. It's just one of the. Each one of those movies is just such a special moment to a lot of us.

Speaker 1:

I know a lot of people like the Empire Strikes Back, but I really liked Return of the Jedi a little better. I mean Empire Strikes Back is amazing, but I just for some reason I liked Return of the Jedi because I like seeing Luke at the end when he's like angry.

Speaker 2:

Where he's hiding from Vader and Vader's reading his mind.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but then he gets angry because he starts basically threatening his sister and he's like nah, to me that was awesome.

Speaker 2:

And the music Uh-huh.

Speaker 1:

Oh.

Speaker 2:

God Goosebumps Chills, literal chills.

Speaker 1:

For one of the movies that doesn't. It's just a score without words. To the music. It's one of the best scores, I feel like. Like. I like it better than and all those things, or when they attacked the Death Star the first time yeah.

Speaker 2:

It was like look at the size of it, cut the chatter Red too. It's like accelerate to attack speed. It's like lock S-4s and attackers. It's like we're going to cut across here and try to draw their fire. It's like they even do. The airplane sounds. It's like the X-wings are flying across man. It's just so cool.

Speaker 1:

I know Star Wars decided not to do it, but I would love to see the Rogue Squadron.

Speaker 2:

Rogue Squadron.

Speaker 1:

Wedge.

Speaker 2:

Antilles Luke Skywalker.

Speaker 1:

Because they talked about making it like a Star Wars type gun, basically.

Speaker 2:

Do they not realize how freaking cool that would be?

Speaker 1:

I'm pretty sure. I don't know if you remember watching this part of the Mandalorian, Because that was one of the best video games of the 90s. Well, there's a part of the Mandalorian where it's him and Bo-Katan and their ships going in and out of canyons and stuff while some TIE fighters are chasing them.

Speaker 2:

That's an awesome scene.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's the original star wars movies. Just they have it. Yeah, you don't know what it is, but they got it. Yeah, that's why that. I mean, granted, I like the prequels now and you know they were a little iffy when I first saw them, but they've grown on me.

Speaker 2:

The sequels, if phantom menace is on and I'll look and see like how close are they fighting? How close are they to fighting darth mall?

Speaker 1:

yeah, once the once, the podracer part's over.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because like that whole entrance it's like dun-dun-tsh and like everybody just kind of like pauses, it's like who the crap is this dude?

Speaker 1:

And then he puts up one side and then like Qui-Gon just goes, we'll handle this.

Speaker 2:

And it's like everybody's like cool Because we don't know what's up with that guy. Peace, and Like thousands of years of training of Jedi, not like you know, exiled and, like you know, fighting a little ball flying in the air shooting lasers.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know, and they like takes off the hood, Like they both, like all take off their robes.

Speaker 1:

It's like ooh yeah, your first real fight that you're going to get to see, ah greatness. Anyways, my next one is Warrior.

Speaker 2:

Is that the don't? That is Warrior. That's Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton. Yeah, that's a great movie.

Speaker 1:

I saw that for the first time when it came out. It was like DVD or Redbox or whatever. I rented it and I was like, dude, this movie is amazing. I ended up showing it. I watched it by myself, I showed it to my wife and then I showed it to my dad and my brother and I was like this movie is great, it's about two. Then I showed it to my dad and my brother and I was like this movie's great. It's about two brothers that are estranged because, yes, they grew up because of their home life. Then they basically come back together in this tournament that they just have to beat the crap out of each other to resolve things. It's a really good movie and it keeps up the pace, kind of like the Rocky movies. It keeps up the pace where you know if they're not fighting, they're building up to the fight for the reason and it's like you have the training part where Tom Hardy knocks out the guy in the ring.

Speaker 2:

Mad Dog yeah. Mad Dog grabs Something like you know Chuck Liddell looking wannabe, yeah, with a maw, and it's like, oh, like, give him the business. And then he just you just watched Tom Hardy just beat the brakes off of him.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, cause I don't know who Tom Hardy is at the moment. So he gets in there. He's like, yeah, I'll fight him, you know, for 200 bucks.

Speaker 2:

It's like I'm here right now. It's like he's like give me 200 bucks and then even he goes to fight like the Arabian guy, and the dude, like you know the whole thing comes up and Tom Hardy just walks. Bam, one hit done, knocked out over. And he just walks out like he leaves and they're just like where's he go?

Speaker 1:

he knows he just knocked him out because the movie does a really good job of you have the one guy that's a juggernaut, that goes through everybody. It's the one brother, then you have the other brother. That's the underdog in every fight and they do a good job of showing both of them and making you want to root for both of them.

Speaker 2:

And of course they got to fight.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we know how that is, if you've seen it, but I won't spoil it for those who are waiting.

Speaker 2:

Heat.

Speaker 1:

Heat. I've never seen Heat either.

Speaker 2:

You've never seen Heat.

Speaker 1:

You've got a lot of movies. Well, I'll tell you what. That's the one with Robert De.

Speaker 2:

Niro, Tom Sizemore, Val Kilmer.

Speaker 1:

Val Kilmer. Yeah, val Pacino, I have seen it, but I think maybe once.

Speaker 2:

Who else? There's a lot of people who were in that movie Jon Voight's in it, william Fichtner's Not Benito Torre Danny.

Speaker 1:

Trejo, okay, the Allstate guy, the Allstate guy, that's his name, the Allstate guy.

Speaker 2:

Dennis Haysbert. It's a great crime movie. I think they actually still show even Hayden had brought it up when they do one of the bank robberies and the robberies get in the contact on multiple angles, like how they're moving between cars, firing, reloading, covering the entire sequence, like is shown, like to the military, about how to execute it, cause they did it perfectly. I mean, it's just, it's a good plot, it's very interesting characters and it's just you're watching, like you know, titans of screen, yeah, cause it's a lot of.

Speaker 2:

It's Robert De Niro versus Al Pacino and like they have a moment, like the two of them meet. Like Al Pacino like pulls him over because he plays the cop hunting his crew, yeah, and he's like, hey, he's just like. He's like you want to get coffee, there's a place up here and like they sit lives and like what they're doing. It's like if you're not willing to walk out on it in 30 seconds, like you don't need to be doing this, and like they kind of have like a moment. It's like, hey, it's like you know, if I got to put you down, like I will, it's like, but I'm not going to like it.

Speaker 2:

Like they have like a respect. That's like happening.

Speaker 1:

When was this movie?

Speaker 2:

made.

Speaker 1:

Like 1995. I can't remember if it was 90s or 80s? It was 90s.

Speaker 2:

Okay, but it's just one of those movies. It's just like damn good. Like you guys are like good, like you guys did a great job.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I've only seen it, maybe once, maybe twice.

Speaker 2:

I don't know when you saw it or how long it's been.

Speaker 1:

I have no idea you need to re-watch Heat. Probably my dad watching it. That's when I saw it.

Speaker 2:

You need to re-watch Heat. I'm going to try, because that's just a damn good movie.

Speaker 1:

Well, my next one is John Wick, the original the.

Speaker 2:

Wick yeah, because it's just a big fight, the whole movie. That whole Baba Yaga scene.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's the second one, though.

Speaker 2:

No, the first one where I'm not, it's Theon Greyjoy. Okay yeah, and his dad beats the crap out of him. And he's like it's not what you did, it's who you did it to. Yeah, and he's like who's that? That effing nobody. He goes. That nobody is John Wick. It's like we call him the Baba. Ye, he's like the boogeyman, he goes. Well, he's not exactly the boogeyman, he's the one you send to kill the boogeyman and it's just like that whole exposition he gives to John Wick's character.

Speaker 1:

That tells you everything and nothing about him at the same time.

Speaker 2:

Like this dude is beyond what you could think. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Like he is horror incarnate, if you're a bad guy, but yet you still know nothing about him.

Speaker 2:

Like you can't stop him, you can't reason, you can't deal with it. If he's decided you are done, that's it. It's just time.

Speaker 1:

This kid didn't help himself either. No, he killed the guy's dog, stole his car from his dead wife. Exactly so yeah.

Speaker 2:

Because I remember I showed my me and my brother. We saw the movie. We both loved the movie. We're like John Wick, that's the coolest thing ever. We get it, we show it to my mom and dad, and my dad fell asleep Because it was, you know, eight o'clock.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's done.

Speaker 2:

He was on the couch and she just thought it was a cool movie. So the part where he kills him, where he shoots him, and he's just walking up and the guy starts talking, he just walks up, bam, and shoots him in the face and I was like, finally, she's like he didn't even have to have a monologue pointing, he just walked up, boom done, Keep it moving. Next scene.

Speaker 1:

And the fight in the club that is so well done. The original John Wick. That's the first time you really see Hollywood going into that much detail with like.

Speaker 2:

With weapons. Yeah, use the gun when you see him, pick him up and, like he flips it in his hand to put his fingers against the rear sights, to slide it back to make sure there's a round chambered.

Speaker 1:

There's that. I mean the way he's holding the gun, like tactically doing it. Yeah, how he's moving you just don't see that very often in Hollywood. At that time In 2014, I think, is when that first one came out. Now, since then, yeah, everybody's trying to be more authentic to how you actually handle things.

Speaker 2:

Because nobody really gave a crap. They're like, yeah, it's a movie, but then you watch it get done right and see a response to it.

Speaker 1:

Like, oh, this was. You see the precision of what it makes him look that much more proficient in what?

Speaker 2:

he does Intimidating and formidable. This dude clearly has muscle memory you just can't get rid of at this point. He's that guy.

Speaker 1:

All right, so what's your next?

Speaker 2:

one, the Princess Bride.

Speaker 1:

That is a good movie. It's the Princess Bride. That is a good movie. It's the.

Speaker 2:

Princess Bride. It's one of the best movies ever made. It's one of the top ten best movies ever made. I don't care about Citizen Kane, I forgot about that. Or 2001 A Space Odyssey you put the Princess Bride and that on. What are you going to watch? Yeah, you're going to watch the Princess Bride. It's just have have fun storming the castle Humpadink. Get back. Witch, not a witch, I'm your wife, it's just like. Let me explain Now, there's too much. Let me sum up that movie gets better every single time.

Speaker 1:

My name is Inicio del Toro. Your name's not.

Speaker 2:

Inicio del Toro. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die. Sorry, you said Inicio Del Toro. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die.

Speaker 1:

Sorry, you said Benicio Del Toro earlier. It's on the brain.

Speaker 2:

That whole movie is just epic. It's just wonderful in every way. The dialogue is absolutely hilarious. The cliffs of insanity.

Speaker 1:

What's the one where you're talking about? You never go into a land war with China. How does that go?

Speaker 2:

Oh, they're doing the Battle of Wits. It's like you fell for one of the great classic blunders. It's like as well-known. It's like not everybody knows that number one is never going to a land war in Asia. It's like, but a second and slightly less well-known, is this never in against? The Sicilian death is on the line.

Speaker 2:

He just dies. Like the quotability, that entire movie is just hilarious. And like the fighting, the sword play is great. It's just a great movie. There's just I don't know what else. I mean. I know we've talked about it. We did Princess Bride trivia like two years ago. Yeah, something like that, and Hayden was so excited.

Speaker 1:

I beat him.

Speaker 2:

I beat him. Hayden got excited because he was like and then I was like Plato, socrates, aristotle, and Hayden just beeped in, he goes morons. I was like yes.

Speaker 1:

He's like whoa, he was so excited. I beat him because I was like what was the? What was the name of the pirate? Uh, the dread pirate roberts yeah, dread pirate roberts what was? There was something what he's? Uh, my name is ryan yes, ryan, that's right, that was the bonus.

Speaker 2:

He took over for another guy and that guy took over for the real dread pirate roberts. Yeah, it's like he's as far as he's been's been retired in the Caribbean for like the last 20 years, living off the fortune.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a great movie.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it's just, there's nothing wrong with that movie. You can't point out anything and be like oh this, oh that? No, there's not. It's airtight, everything about it. It's great as you wish.

Speaker 1:

My next one is End of Watch that movie. I love watching it just because you can see the parallels With what we do. You can see the parallels of the camaraderie between them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that sort of stuff. Yeah, like the locker room nonsense.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's just two guys and I mean all the stuff they come across is happenstance. They just come across it and they're like, oh.

Speaker 2:

And they get told because some higher-up kind of agency dudes are like, hey, you guys need to, not, because these aren't these kinds of people. Yeah, but I mean the movie's really good no-transcript, and that's because, like they, Like that was real.

Speaker 1:

They totally crashed.

Speaker 2:

And they just kept it in the movie, which is nice that they had like that kind of realism.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, when they were. They were chasing somebody, yeah they were chasing like the van or something, yeah, and they ran into it and I think like their anti-lock brakes failed or they were disabled or whatever and they just slammed right into them, but I love watching that movie and they're both hilarious.

Speaker 2:

They were good, they fed off each other.

Speaker 1:

Real life cops.

Speaker 2:

It was very believable watching the two of them in those roles.

Speaker 1:

They weren't like Bruce Willis as the cop they seemed at that time in their careers. They seemed like just everyday guys that could be cops. So what's your next one?

Speaker 2:

My next one, van Helsing. Van Helsing, because you were talking about it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean it's a good movie. Some of the CGI I don't feel like holds up. Like the werewolves look awesome, but I feel like the Dracula CGI like their prosthetics don't hold up Because, like his brides or whatever, I'm not a big fan.

Speaker 2:

They're hot, they were hot, but I'm not a big fan they're hot.

Speaker 1:

They were hot, but I'm not a big fan of their prosthetic leg things. They would change it to leathery wing looking things.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean Van Helsing is a very fun movie. Yeah, there is no wasted scene. It's beginning to go fun. It's just a fun movie, Everything about it, like the lore about it, the werewolf transformations, the weapons the acting.

Speaker 1:

What's the monster at the beginning?

Speaker 2:

Oh, he goes after Mr Hyde, yeah, and he like takes his hat. And he's just like, barely like, sitting on top of his head because his head's freaking huge yeah.

Speaker 2:

And he, like, cuts off his arm and like, as the dude falls, he turns back into Dr Jekyll and then yeets it. It's like you killed him, Van Helsing, and they got to send him to Transylvania and he's going to kill the entire town because they're following him, because it's like, what are you doing here? You're not from around these parts, are you? Which way's town? Back the way you came. And then you find out he's actually the angel Gabriel and he's like the left hand of God.

Speaker 1:

And then you find out he's actually like the Angel Gabriel and he's like the left hand of God. And it's like, oh okay, it was cool for that time period of the movie to see these gadgets and stuff that they made Basically the chain gun crossbow.

Speaker 2:

Which was really cool.

Speaker 1:

The holy hand grenades.

Speaker 2:

He had the little saw blade things that he would hold in his hand. He even had a video game, the video game was good.

Speaker 1:

I never played the video game.

Speaker 2:

I, my brother had it. He wouldn't let me play it. Which dick move. But I mean there was like a demo for it. I had that I played.

Speaker 2:

That was you're just basically unstoppable killing machine. You're just you know pistling people or just cutting people up with the rotary blades like you know pistling people or just cutting people up with the rotary blades like saw blade things. I mean it's just a well done. It's a well done action. I guess horror film fantasy Like that has a really good, probably a perfect blend of comedic element. Okay, like everything like it. It ticks off all the boxes. Like you want some horror? Like, yeah, you can get that. You want action Plenty, you want some laughs, we got it. You want some this, you want some that, you want some? Kate Beckinsale it's there, even though she dies on a couch Woman got the crap beat out of her the entire movie. She's getting dropped multiple stories from buildings thrown around, crashing through stuff, breaking wooden timbers. She goes and Wolverine Hugh Jackman, or like Werewolf Hugh Jackman, like backhands her onto a couch, dead, dead. That's like the one thing I was like come on, are you kidding?

Speaker 1:

me yeah, I was thinking that she lived, but I guess not. I guess you're right. Okay, I was thinking that she lived, but I guess not. I guess you're right. My last one and for me it's a personal one of mine, it's Ninja Turtles, my number one, yes, it is.

Speaker 2:

It's the original Ninja Turtles. I excluded Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 1:

Mine's the original 1990s Ninja Turtles because that movie it's got so many quotable lines. He's like a wise guy said forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.

Speaker 1:

I love it 30 minutes or less, tell me you didn't pay money for this. He gets hit with a Jose Caseco bat. Yeah, I love this movie. It's a great movie. I know there's not a whole lot to say about it because you're like, yeah, oh well, but I mean not a whole lot to say about it because you're like, yeah, oh well, but I mean there's at any point I can watch, because I love, uh, watching the the fight scenes when they're in april's apartment and rafael's like fighting on the top of the roof and he's like, come on, how do you guys expect to beat me? All the, all the the foot soldiers start creeping towards him. He's like, good answer. Good, because he's like beating him up for like 20 minutes and then eventually they all just decide just to dogpile him.

Speaker 2:

Just rush him all at the same time.

Speaker 1:

And then after that is when he gets thrown through the skylight after being beat up. It's pretty cool, I love that movie. And then when Casey Jones he shows up, they're like all in the middle of fighting in the dark, you know all this stuff. And he bursts through the door like you had like the guitar riff and he's like so what you doing with my little green pal over there? And he looks over and goes, oh, who's the babe? Because he sees April. Hey, I love that movie. It's my favorite movie of all time.

Speaker 2:

What's your last one, Tom? The Hunt for Red October? That's the one.

Speaker 1:

Sean Connery.

Speaker 2:

Alec Baldwin.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I've seen that movie too, but it's only been like one time. Your list is a lot different than mine.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean the Hunt for October. Like I know for a fact like this is probably my mom's favorite watching movie. Like if you were just like what's like it's the Hunt for October, she can write the script from memory Like and will probably, and we'll probably, be only two words off. That's how many times. But I mean, I've seen it like half as many times and it's just one of those movies. It doesn't matter where you pick up. If it's the beginning, if it's the middle, you got Alec Baldwin, you got Sean Connery, you got Sam Neill what's his face? Darth Vader.

Speaker 1:

Darth Vader.

Speaker 2:

James Earl Jones.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, the principal from I didn't know James Earl Jones was in that. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

I mean the whole movie's just it's just good, it's just awesome the entire time. You even get Alec Baldwin doing a Sean Connery impression in the movie. It's like be careful, these things don't react well to bullets. It's like why, as he's crawling through the missile silo part of the sub to get to the saboteurs trying to set off a nuke, and destroy the submarine. Have you seen the movie recently.

Speaker 1:

Do you know the premise? I think I may have seen this movie one time.

Speaker 2:

All right. Sean Connery is captain of the Red October Soviet ballistic missile submarine. Different class has what they call caterpillar drive with his Scottish accent. Yeah, they didn't even care. And you know what? It doesn't even matter, doesn't even matter, it's still that awesome. Okay, but the capital drive is like electromagnetic displacement that like sucks water in. It's basically like a jet engine underwater.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

And it's virtually silent. There's no moving part. Okay, Like you know, the rotors of sub-propellers. Baldwin plays Jack Ryan.

Speaker 1:

Jack Ryan oh.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Like the Jack.

Speaker 2:

Ryan. Yeah, like that, jack. Tom Clancy Jack. Yeah, tom Clancy Jack, it was a Tom Clancy book.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, I didn't know that.

Speaker 2:

He plays him, he gets whisked away to Washington. He meets Admiral Greer, who is James Earl Jones, okay, who tells he's like you know, oh, he's like, yeah, you know they're talking about it, and he goes. He's like he just put the Red October to sea this morning. And they're like uh-oh.

Speaker 2:

And like he's like at like a meeting, the Joint Chiefs, generals, admirals, all these people, and they're like, given this briefing, and then he realizes that ramius, or captain ramius, who's uh, sean connor's character, is trying to defect and like he brings it up and like he puts like a general in his place because he says, and like the guy who's like sitting there leading the meeting at the end, he's like, he's like, hey, he's like continue, dr ryan. And then like they have a powwow where it's just like you know, he's like you know, hey, we have to try to make contact. It's like someone has to meet him and like you know, figure out, you know what his real intentions are. And it's like if they get one snit, the Soviets figure this out. Game's over. Like because the Soviets had already deployed their fleet to find the Red October and destroy it, because he sent them a letter I'm out, yeah, and they were like, ooh, no.

Speaker 2:

So then you have the Americans trying to find him and help him and it's just this whole like cat and mouse game. And then there's, like you know, naval tactics that happens Like they get shot at with a torpedo and the other, the USS Dallas's captain's, on the Red October with Sean Connery and he tells Ryan like, turn to this. And he's like don't do it. He's like he's turning us right into the direction of the torpedo, like we're head-to-head with it, and he's like and he just looks at Ryan and just says, like you know the numbers one more time. And he's like accelerate, you know maximum. He's you know maximum. He's like give me 110 on the reactor or 115. And so they're just gunning it at the torpedo and it's like they're like detonation in, you know 5, 4, 3, 2, now.

Speaker 2:

And it just the torpedo explodes, like it just disintegrates off the front of the ship and he's like what happened? He's like combat tactics, mr Ryan. So by turning the torpedo he cut the distance before it could arm itself and it's just like who knows some stuff Sean Connery does, sean Connery does, and then you know One Ping, and One Ping Only. That's. That's probably one of those movies. It doesn't matter where you pick up, you're just like I hate to hunt for Red October, okay.

Speaker 1:

I'll have to check it out. I'm excited. I don't remember if I there is one more movie I would like to check it out.

Speaker 2:

I'm excited. I don't remember if I. There is one more movie I would like to talk about, though. Okay, that we brought up what's that? Top Gun. That movie's just cool. There's just nothing awesome. Mighty Wings, danger Zone, sunglasses. I feel the need, the need.

Speaker 1:

Full speed. It is a good movie, I love that movie too.

Speaker 2:

Good morning, gentlemen. It's currently 115 degrees. Holy it's Viper. He's probably saying holy it's Maverick and Goose. Yeah, I'm sure he's saying that.

Speaker 1:

I like when he's like I'm going to bust the tower, I don't think that's a good idea, man. And then he spills it. What's the guy's name?

Speaker 2:

The coffee, yeah, it's like oh God, yeah, I love that movie and he's getting yelled at and he's yelling at Viper and he storms out of the office and crashes. And there were another sailor who's carrying a trinket. I want some butts, he's like damn it, that's twice, it's like yeehaw Jester's dead.

Speaker 2:

Wah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I mean watching the F-14s just fly. That's like majestic. That's like men made that. Dudes figured out how to make that happen, and that's just a beautiful. I mean, there's some things that you look at. It's like you look at an old plane, like yeah, it's nice. But you look at like an F-14 at full tilt with the wings swept back or whatever, and the dual thrusters it's like man. That's just beautiful. That's just art flying about.

Speaker 2:

And it has missile capability and guns. Iceman, everybody had cool names. Maverick Goose, iceman, slider, wolfman, hollywood Viper, jester Sundown, merlin Cougar Everybody had a cool name. I get it, tom, I get it.

Speaker 1:

Viper, Jester, Sundown, Merlin, Cougar Everybody had a cool name. I get it, Tom. I get it. We got to move on.

Speaker 1:

All right fine, all right. Moving on to our news we only got a few minutes here the DCU has announced a new movie that they're going to work on. That's going to be a live action that I don't think was originally announced Nightwing Well, he's going to be in it accordingly, or apparently is the Teen Titans. They're going to make a movie of that, which it'll feature those characters supposedly, which is Nightwing, cyborg, raven, donna, troy and Starfire.

Speaker 2:

No, beast Boy.

Speaker 1:

Oh sorry. And then what's that Kid Flash? I don't know if Beast Boy will be in it or not.

Speaker 2:

I don't know Beast Boy should be in it.

Speaker 1:

It's going to be made by the or written by, the Supergirl writer, anna Naguara I can't pronounce her last name. Supposedly it's in production or not production, but it's in stages of being written. Netflix's Rebel Moon by Zack Snyder. The first part came out in December. Part two is coming out in April, on April 19th. It was a good movie. It was interesting to watch. It's like a more R-rated Star Wars kind of thing, so it was interesting. I'll watch the second one to see how I like it, how they pan it out. There's another old school fantasy movie that's being remade. Can you guess An old school fantasy movie? How old school? Like 80s?

Speaker 2:

80s fantasy movie. Yeah, like fantasy or like spacey fantasy. Fantasy, all right Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, will Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy.

Speaker 1:

Willow no.

Speaker 2:

Is it like the Dark Stone or something like that?

Speaker 1:

No, that's the Dark Crystal.

Speaker 2:

The Dark Crystal. Okay, that's what I was thinking it's not that Pan's Labyrinth, nope 80s fantasy, not the Princess Bride, no, oh, thank God, give me an actor, give me something.

Speaker 1:

Couldn't tell you one.

Speaker 2:

Thanks, but this is a popular film.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's fairly popular.

Speaker 2:

The NeverEnding Story. Yes. Supposedly it's if I gotta go through R-Tax dying again. I'm not doing it. I can't do it again. I'm still recovering. That was 15 years. It was 25 years ago. I'm not doing it. I can't do it again. I'm still recovering. That was 15 years. It was 25 years ago.

Speaker 1:

I mean supposedly they're remaking. I think it says. Entertainment Weekly is saying that they're making a new adaptation of the original Neverending Story movie. Why can't they just leave stuff alone? We'll see how that goes, ugh.

Speaker 2:

Ugh, ugh.

Speaker 1:

They they've announced the release date for the new Alien movie, alien Romulus, which supposedly has gotten good reviews as far as people that have worked on it and seen parts of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, I mean they worked on it. We're going to be biased. Exhaling Covenant wasn't that great.

Speaker 1:

Ridley Scott is the producer, and then Fede Alvarez, which is the director from. And then, so what is it? Fede Alvarez, which is the director from the movie Don't Breathe and the Evil Dead? Okay, is the? He's the director of the movie? Alright, but it comes out in August, on August 16th. I haven't seen a trailer or anything. They do have a trailer because I had oh, it's just like, yeah, this is just the picture, but they do have a trailer for it, I think those aliens need bibs.

Speaker 1:

They're drooling all over the place and there's a new video game coming out, a new Marvel video game called 1943, the Rise of Hydra, ooh, and it's got a trailer for it and I'll, when we get done here, I can show it to you. But it's basically Captain America trying to stop Hydra from rising.

Speaker 2:

Is it the original Black Panther?

Speaker 1:

Yes, well, not the original, but it's one of the ancestors.

Speaker 2:

It's not the child. Yeah, okay, that would be interesting.

Speaker 1:

In the trailer, something's happening where World War II is building up, getting ready to start.

Speaker 2:

Well, 1943, World War II is already four years deep.

Speaker 1:

For some reason my math is off.

Speaker 2:

then, World War II started in 1939.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Well, anyways, it's during World War II and Captain America's trying to stop Hydra from, you know, becoming a thing and Black Panther somehow he's tied into it to where he knows about it. So Black Panther's trying to stop it. Well, captain America knows that Black Panther's working on something. He knows there's this person out there that he's right on the heels of when he's trying to stop. He sees evidence that Black Panther's been out there doing stuff, but he doesn't know who he is yet. So there's kind of like a confrontation between them.

Speaker 2:

And then they team up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's going to have something like that.

Speaker 2:

Like the Master Chief and the Arbiter.

Speaker 1:

So it'll be pretty cool. Supposedly, it just says 2025 at the moment but, like I said, they have a trailer. I haven't seen any gameplay, it's just like.

Speaker 2:

I want to wait and see some gameplay.

Speaker 1:

But it does look like. The story it looks like is pretty good. We'll have to see how that one turns out, but yeah, I'm excited to see that one. I'll check that out, but uh, that's all I got for now that's all I got, alright well.

Speaker 2:

I hope you enjoyed this episode of Entertain this. We'll catch you next time. I'm Tom, I'm Mitch and we'll see you next episode. You want a kid?

Speaker 1:

I'm a batter.
