Cinematic Gold: The Greatest Film Quotes Ever Uttered
The power of a perfectly delivered line can transcend the film itself, becoming part of our shared cultural language. In this deep-dive episode, we explore cinema's most memorable quotes and why they continue to give us goosebumps decades later. From Quint's chilling warning aboard the Orca to HAL 9000's haunting final song, we dissect the context, delivery, and lasting impact of film's greatest utterances.
Spielberg's masterful editing of "You're going to need a bigger boat" in Jaws demonstrates how timing transforms a simple line into cinematic history. We uncover surprising production secrets, like how the Empire Strikes Back's famous paternity reveal was kept secret even from most cast members until premiere night. The philosophical weight of Roy Batty's "tears in rain" monologue from Blade Runner leads us into a fascinating discussion about consciousness, memory, and what truly defines humanity.
Beyond the quotes themselves, we explore why certain lines resonate across generations. Is it their philosophical depth? Their perfect encapsulation of a character? Or perhaps their ability to distill complex emotions into just a few words? Whether it's Rocky Balboa's wisdom about perseverance or Michael Caine's perfectly delivered "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" these lines have become shorthand for entire philosophies and attitudes.
What's your favorite movie quote? Share it with us and tell us why it resonates with you. And don't forget to tune in next week when we'll tackle cinema's worst lines – the cringe-worthy dialogue that somehow made it past countless script readings and into film history for all the wrong reasons.
Eat the croissant, mitch, eat it. Eat the croissant, eat the croissant.
Speaker 2:Croissant.

Speaker 1:Yeah, we can't hear you through the pastry. That's disgusting.
Speaker 2:And Tom.
Speaker 1:Hi Tom.
Speaker 2:Today we are discussing the top ten, best the top ten best History, the best lines uttered in film history. But before we get to that, and as soon as Mitch swallows his croissant, social media.
Speaker 1:So you have to find two Costcos, one in Beaufort at Mall of Georgia, the other one in Oconee County.
Speaker 3:Well, you can go to entertainthispodcastcom, which will take you to our Facebook group and page. You also go to at this no crap, Shorten it and everything. You also go to at this no crap, man, shorten it and everything, Because I changed it. I changed it, so I forget it. It's at entertain, this underscore for our ex and Instagram. Okay, there you go, Now that.
Speaker 1:We got a new hot sauce we'd like to feature.
Speaker 3:I bought it at our local Super Mercado.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that Mitch got, because the other one has probably expired by three or something.
Speaker 3:It was last time. He took it Three years.
Speaker 2:It felt like it, but did you die? It was crunchy.
Speaker 1:Almost. This is triple extra hot sauce, salsa picante I can't pronounce it Chili habanero el yucatico, it's a Mayan recipe. I had to talk to two or three people to find somebody that spoke English.
Speaker 2:They found it in like the.
Speaker 1:I will say after giving it a whiff or wafting, some may say it's not as pungent or assaulting to the senses as the other one was.
Speaker 3:It might not be as hot. I don't know. I hadn't tried it. How do you?
Speaker 2:know it's a Mayan recipe. Is that like what survived?
Speaker 1:Well, obviously the company has a time machine. They went back and met them.
Speaker 2:They found it in, like you know, clay plates or whatever.
Speaker 1:It's like, oh, it's the end of the world. No wait, you know the.
Speaker 3:Mayans was only like 300 to 400 years ago. This is a hot sauce, not 2000,. Like the Egyptians, the Mayans, when they died out.
Speaker 1:No, they're a motorcycle gang. I see them on TV.
Speaker 2:Isn't that what the Rosetta Stone was? That was like a receipt to buy a goat. They were able to break the whole Egyptian hieroglyph stuff to decipher Something mundane like that. Yeah, it was so.
Speaker 1:It was a farmer's almanac.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't know what are we talking about.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, we're talking about movie quotes. We're talking about good movie quotes.
Speaker 3:Before we get to that, though, as I was trying to find movie quotes. I don't know why, but I scrolled past and found this video it's I forget the guy's name, but he's in the new Maverick Top Gun Maverick, the one where it's the guy that takes the place of Iceman, like the cocky guy.
Speaker 2:The guy who's in Glen Powell yeah.
Speaker 3:It's him. And then it's Pete Davidson, some random guy. They're supposedly like friends. And then it's Pete Davidson, some random guy they're supposedly like friends. Pete Davidson walks up and he goes hey, is this Chuck, the guy that you've been talking about? He's like, yeah, smacks the stuff out of his hand. He goes yeah, I hate that guy too. He walks in and, for whatever reason, every time I see Pete Davidson, I think of Tom.
Speaker 2:Is it something that Tom would do? Just that personality, I guess I don't have that personality, so I was watching Dog man. I took my son to the theaters to watch Dog man. Yeah, it's a terrible movie.
Speaker 1:Did your son like it.
Speaker 2:He liked it because he likes the books and stuff. It's just like a goofy comic book.
Speaker 1:Can we get him on the podcast and he can give a review.
Speaker 2:He can give a great review about it, probably better than I could. But the bad guy is a cat and is a cat and I was like why does this cat sound so much like Tom? And I googled it and I was like oh, it's Pete Davidson. That makes sense.
Speaker 1:I'm really just missing out on a cash cow grab of doing Pete Davidson impressions just by talking and being me Team you, Pete Davidson, over here guys. Etsy Wishcom.
Speaker 3:I'll give it to Tom. He's probably an upgrade. He doesn't look as goofy. He doesn't look like he should be in the Suicide Squad ripoff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm sure Pete Davidson has hair plugs. At least you are your true self.
Speaker 1:I have a beard, yeah, you've got that too.
Speaker 3:I've got that beard, that beard.
Speaker 2:Anyways, all right.
Speaker 1:Movie quotes. Let's kick it off with Tom. We're talking about. This is like 8-bit kazoo.
Speaker 5:I hate this song.
Speaker 1:I hate that song.
Speaker 3:We used to have that.
Speaker 2:Alright ready.
Speaker 1:This song is trash you ready Cam. Yeah, play it Really. Say it, brody, you're going to need a bigger boat.
Speaker 1:So it's probably one of the greatest lines ever in cinema. It's got to be in anyone's top ten. You get the whole situation of they're on the orca. You really don't see the shark. This is the first kind of glimpse of the shark Bruce when Brody's shoveling chum and he's mad he can't drive the boat. It's like Hooper drives the boat Chief. It's just like I can go ahead. It's like why don't you come down and shovel some of this? You know S word with a cigarette in his life jacket and he's like huffing stuff so he doesn't have to smell the chum and like get motion sickness.
Speaker 3:And then he eats it and looks and the shark comes up and he's just like the look. That's the one where he's like looks up real quick, didn't he?
Speaker 1:Because someone had asked him how he did it and looked like he was that scared and he's like it's all in the cheek muscles. He's like you gotta flex him and get him up high and then let it go all of a sudden and he's like that's how you get it. But but they had added he says it almost in the original cut or not, that was released, but he says it almost immediately.
Speaker 8:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But Spielberg cut it to where he backs up and goes into the boat and says it, or into the cabin and says it to Quint, because the audience lost it when they saw the shark the first time, like that, and like nobody heard him say it because they were still reacting to that scene. So that's why you have the delay. And then he's inside. Everybody kind of says you're going to need a bigger boat. Everybody's like, yeah, like you need a destroyer or something. At least Imagine that movie Jaws getting hunted by a sub like a nuclear submarine. Alright, I'd watch that.
Speaker 5:He's got space dementia.
Speaker 2:Random thoughts by Tom. Random thoughts by Tom.
Speaker 1:Stuff that keeps him awake at night, mitch is number one.
Speaker 9:You're not perfect sport. Let me save you the suspense. This girl you met. She isn't perfect either, but the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other. That's the whole deal. That's what intimacy is all about. Now, you can know everything in the world sport, but the only way you're finding out that one is by giving it a shot. You certainly won't learn from an old fucker like me. Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell a pissant like you.
Speaker 7:Now why not, it was that last part. I thought it was lines, not monologues. Why not? You told me All right.
Speaker 1:It was that last part. I thought it was lines, not monologues.
Speaker 3:Well, he talks slow, he's a therapist.
Speaker 1:How about a sentence?
Speaker 6:Okay.
Speaker 2:That's a line, that's not a quote. What are your thoughts on that, mitch?
Speaker 3:I like the more deeper meaning stuff. No, you don't there's other things, more to it. There's other lines, but they are a lot longer.
Speaker 1:You just want to hear they have a lot more profanity in them. Yeah, you just want to hear you blitz all night.
Speaker 3:That's not even one of them.
Speaker 1:I'm shocked you didn't have a sports one.
Speaker 3:I can't help it. I'm a little deeper than you, Tom.
Speaker 1:Since. When.
Speaker 2:Sorry.
Speaker 3:Anyways, my Sorry.
Speaker 2:Anyways, my number one, ready One.
Speaker 9:See if you guys can figure it out.
Speaker 5:All those moments will be lost in time.
Speaker 1:Like tears in rain. Gosh, he's all so slow. He's dying, Mitch.
Speaker 2:He's dying, damn it. Cut him some slack.
Speaker 1:He was dying when they filmed it.
Speaker 2:Great improvised line, probably the best improvised line in Hollywood history.
Speaker 3:I know it was improvised, yeah and the whole movie is about.
Speaker 2:what is reality, what makes sense?
Speaker 1:Or what makes humanity?
Speaker 2:What is human, what is existence in these androids, or what do they call them?
Speaker 1:Replicants.
Speaker 2:Replicants are on the run because they've done crime, but they've done crime to try and preserve their own individual lives. When he delivers this line about like nothing matters, we're all just like tears in the rain. You know, everything's a wash amidst amidst. Actual existence, non-existence, blah, blah, blah. And then you know, when you get to the end and you're still kind of on the fence wait a minute. Are the eyes that we've been watching this movie through Harrison Ford's character is he?
Speaker 2:himself a replicant, you know, and it starts like you start asking those hard questions, those challenging questions. It makes good sci-fi.
Speaker 1:You know the philosophical stuff, don't they do a lot of stuff to make it seem like he is a replicant.
Speaker 2:In the director's cut. Yes, in the theatrical cut it was more kind of cut and dry, but in the director's cut it's one of the few movies where I think the director's cut is better.
Speaker 5:So, yeah, yeah, blade Runner.
Speaker 2:All day, every day. All right On to Tom's number two.
Speaker 1:Number two.
Speaker 5:Two Obi-Wan. Never told you what happened to your father. He told me enough. He told me, you killed him. No, I am your father Say what Say?
Speaker 1:what Literally?
Speaker 2:That blew my mind as a little kid. Yeah, I have to agree. I wish I could have seen the theaters. It's one of those movies throughout time, or I was like.
Speaker 1:I wish I was old enough I could have seen that, because I think yeah, at the times when we were watching it the prequels had not even happened. Right, we just had those three movies and you watch a new hope, and then you watch empire and by the time you get to that you've seen vader on screen for like what? 12 minutes.
Speaker 3:If that in four hours almost of movie yeah, I mean because when I was young, return of the jedi with the added scenes was in theaters, but that was like yeah like you said, there's no pre and that was like cgi stuff to have like jabba the hutt and boba fett yeah, but it got re-released so.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember the original VHS release with the unedited theatrical releases. It showed the emperor With the monkey, with the chimpanzee.
Speaker 1:It was a chimpanzee mask that they cut up and put on his face. That guy just died not long ago. The guy that played the original emperor. I thought it was a woman that actually played.
Speaker 2:I thought it was a woman that actually played. It put prosthetics on it was a guy.
Speaker 6:A guy.
Speaker 2:Well, anyways.
Speaker 1:But yeah, no, everybody just goes. Luke, I am your father, it's not. No, he's like no, I am your father.
Speaker 2:And everybody's like, oh, like it was such a big deal, like they weren't even sure they could tell Mark Hamill and he had to say the lines yeah, yeah, yeah, because they kept it secret all the way up until the shooting day, didn't they?
Speaker 1:Nobody knew, except like the three people who were there yeah, like I think David Prowse, since or no, he didn't even know, no, they just overdid it. Like Mark Hamill knew what was going to be said and I think it was told to him like this is your reaction, this is what you're going to be told and then. James Earl Jones knew because he said it.
Speaker 9:Right.
Speaker 1:And then you know George Lucas, and I think like three or four other people knew yeah, and they all just, it's just like nobody say anything, because once this goes to theaters, it's going to blow everyone's minds.
Speaker 2:There's a funny like watching it with Harrison Ford and in the premiere Harrison Ford was like God damn kid. I didn't know it was going to be that kind of movie or whatever. It was dry. 1923, harrison Ford, all right. Mitch's number two.
Speaker 10:Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names and years later they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them to hold on Hold on.
Speaker 3:I like it.
Speaker 2:You're like obviously Good notes, mitch.
Speaker 1:I like it.
Speaker 3:It was a good quote to me because it kind of falls in line with work kind of stuff. But you know it's different. I don't know, I don't know how to describe it, I just don't like it, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I mean. So it's interesting, for especially in that time, because superhero movies didn't really have an identity yet.
Speaker 8:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So they kind of go the traditional hero route and usually behind a predominant male figure hero there's a male kind of mentor and everybody would associate Uncle Ben to be that guy for Spider-Man. But those scenes with Aunt May I think are kind of overlooked a lot and in some ways they hold a lot more power.
Speaker 3:And I like how in Spider-Man, as opposed to a lot of modern superhero movies, they actually paint him as a Boy Scout kind of hero, kind of like Superman earlier, where he's somebody that's out there to do good to the best of his ability, whether he win or lose. He's out there to do what he can to help people.
Speaker 1:Got that kind of like plucky, go get him.
Speaker 3:They don't treat him as like a dark anti-hero.
Speaker 1:Except J. Jonah James said I need pictures of Spider-Man. Your wife lost a checkbook.
Speaker 2:Thanks, for the great news. Until the third one, where you get.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's oh yeah news. Until the third one, where you get a demon. We do not talk about that we don't talk about that Nonsense.
Speaker 1:I remember watching it at the theater and just going what.
Speaker 2:What did they do to my Spider-Man?
Speaker 6:Alright.
Speaker 2:I think we'll all agree that this deserves to be on the list.
Speaker 5:I forgot about that one to be on the list. Hello, my name is Hugo Montoya.
Speaker 3:Oh, I forgot about that one. That's a good one. My father, I'm prepared to die.
Speaker 1:I know exactly the scene. This is Hello.
Speaker 3:Right after you get stabbed.
Speaker 9:You killed my father.
Speaker 6:Prepare to die. Stop saying that. Just keep going Off with me, all right, prepare to die.
Speaker 5:Stop saying that, just keep going oh Off with me All right. We get it.
Speaker 2:So that line, I love that line.
Speaker 8:It is a great line.
Speaker 2:One of the reasons why it's such a good line is because it's like the quintessential one from the Princess Bride.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's not the main, you know, hero.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like a side character and it's so cool.
Speaker 2:It's like that's how you do ensemble casts you let everybody have their own kind of shade of light to shine in and people can identify. I think watching this movie as a kid and then watching it again as a teenager and growing up and watching it at different stages of my life, identifying with different people throughout that movie, that's what makes a movie transcend ages.
Speaker 1:The funny thing about lines. I saw some interview Arnold Schwarzenegger was doing and they were asking him like oh, like the big, like I'll be back, like get to the chopper. And it's like, as his career went it became like a game with the crew Like what quote? Like what line is going to be? It Like what's going to be, like the I'll be back or something. And he's like nobody bet in predator. It was going to be stick around, right, yeah at all. It's like, but that was his, so you never really know. I mean, even like I'll be back, nobody thought that was going to be the line for Terminator.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's a cybernetic organism with living covered in living tissue.
Speaker 2:But for a princess bride they had to have known, like, oh man, the gravitas. Cause they say it over and over Well not only that, but revenge and all this other stuff, and everything just works out so perfect.
Speaker 1:Especially in an infinitely quotable movie.
Speaker 2:It's definitely the Shining Beacon, inconceivable. Alright, back to Tom for his number three Five.
Speaker 10:Four, three, two, one Go, two, one go, you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off From the original Italian job, that's Michael.
Speaker 3:Caine.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I couldn't tell you what movie that's from His brother plays the other guy who blows up the like the little van. Okay. It's from the Italian job. It's one of Michael Caine.
Speaker 4:Michael Caine Michael.
Speaker 1:Caine's greatest quotes You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.
Speaker 2:It sounds so high pitched.
Speaker 1:Well, this is 1970s, early 70s, michael Caine. I think this might have even been in 1969, 1970. Max OA. You know it's funny, this is before the cigars and the brandy.
Speaker 2:She was only 16. Nicholas Cage is definitely predominant on our worst lines. Michael Caine's up there with our best lines. Michael Caine, just he, he's got gravitas.
Speaker 1:He does have gravitas and early, early Michael Caine, like Zulu, like the Harry Palmer films the first ones, I don't know if you ever saw those. No, those were like kind of in the very much in the same vein of Bond.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But like kind of more about like the book side of it, where it wasn't like they didn't try to be Hollywood. Okay, it had a little bit like a dark red. He was like a hoodlum kind of guy that got recruited into being a spy and doing that kind of stuff. Not just, you know, ultra suave, you know Connery going to some club, he's playing cards with hot girls and he's got like stacks of money chips and he's just tipping people 50 grand like it's cool in a tux, like his version was kind of like you know the brawler kind of guy.
Speaker 2:I think I saw alfie. I think, yeah, alfie, for this back. I went with michael k. All right, mitch's number two or three, we're on three now.
Speaker 5:Yeah, number three um tonight you have learned the final, and comes not of the body but of the mind together. There is nothing your four minds cannot accomplish that's from uh kung pao. Enter the fist right yeah, yeah, no, but you didn't finish it oh, you want me to finish it, draw upon one another and always remember the true force that binds you, the same as that which brought me here tonight, that which I gladly return with my final words I love you all, my sons.
Speaker 1:And then he died and they played the will of the scream.
Speaker 3:For a comic book movie based on mutated ninja turtles Makes me want to tear up a little bit.
Speaker 2:Because they were his adopted turtle kids.
Speaker 3:If you think about it, though, it's like the four of them got beat up, their dad kidnapped, they had to escape, and then they're sitting here because of mystical ninja stuff.
Speaker 1:Obviously mystical ninja stuff.
Speaker 3:This could be the last thing they ever hear from him. He thinks he's never going to see him again. Then you got Michelangelo crying and stuff.
Speaker 1:It's kind of sad Crying on his pizza.
Speaker 3:For a comic book superhero way out there movie. It kind of makes me tear up a little bit, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, is that the very first one? Yeah, okay, I don't remember that we might have to do it we might have to re-watch.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, I skipped it because I was like oh yeah, they wouldn't. They'd be like oh, we've heard this so many times.
Speaker 1:I thought we were going to do the replacements too. I watched that not long ago.
Speaker 3:I watched it too, but I didn't know. It's a great movie I want to tell you my secret now.
Speaker 2:Stop whispering to me, nordvpn.
Speaker 5:Rage, shadow Legends. I see dead people.
Speaker 2:In your dreams.
Speaker 5:While you're awake.
Speaker 2:Nope, bye, kid, that was Mitch while he was a kid. Sixth Sense, okay, the only Wow. One of the few M Night Shyamalan movies that Like look.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:His career. Take it for what you will, all right, but the fact that if you had to make all these crappy movies to make the sixth sense worth it, this movie's so layered in goodness, like there's so much to unpack, like even the first time you see that movie you hear that line delivered and you're like, wow, that is creepy. But it's one of the first times I remember watching a movie and not really understanding why I'm creeped out, until you get to the end and when they can play with your, uh, your feeling of of narrative and exposition and how a movie is delivered like that. Very few movies can pull that off and this is like the quintessential, like the clutch movie that can do that. You know and know and then you gotta watch it again.
Speaker 2:You gotta know why unpack those feelings as they come around again. Such a well done movie.
Speaker 1:It's wild that he did that. And then Signs, and Signs is great until the end. Until the end, yeah.
Speaker 3:Swing away, Merrill Swing away.
Speaker 1:That when you see the alien because the first time you see the alien it's like that shaky camera footage. It is the scariest crap I've seen when it's just like, because even like Joaquin Phoenix he's like, he like falls into the closet, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well see, I thought the village was really good until the end, and then you're like, oh, that's a lot of M Night Shyam like 1852.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. But like I said, you know, if all, if he had to go through all of his weird bad movies just to make? Oh the six cents came out first, unbreakable did.
Speaker 3:Unbreakable is pretty good. Unbreakable is good.
Speaker 2:But you know, like, if, if, like this means the six cents exists, so he can make bad movies, I'll, I'll take the good for the bad. Yeah, all right To Tom's number four. I don't remember what it is.
Speaker 3:Must not be best. Talk to me, goose.
Speaker 1:Was it like a bicycle horn it was a goose.
Speaker 2:Talk to me, goose.
Speaker 1:I'm happy I picked it just for that. It's just such a great line and it's just. It lives in the lexicon of America. People say that really, without thinking about it all the time.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:People make that joke a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you see kids. I see kids like in the Army, you know, and they'll say like talk to me Goose and I'm like, what movie is that from? And they'll be like I don't know, it's just what old people say, it's like get on the floor and give me 20. A little crap, but Give me 20. Oh crap, but yeah, I don't know Like out of all of Top Gun like it's probably the best line in Top Gun.
Speaker 1:Well, I feel the need for speed. I want some butts.
Speaker 2:Yeehaw, jester's dead. Yeah, why does talk to me goose stick out so much though.
Speaker 1:Because you can actually use it in conversation, guess, because it's so funny in a way, because you have like all these great quotes, like I feel like you expect that to be the quote, like that's just like oh yeah, macho guys, but they're just flying along like just lotty, dying their way, because I think he says it before they even go to top gun school. It's in the beginning of the movie and they don't even have the face mask things clipped into place with the oxygen stuff and they're just flying about. She goes talk to me, goose, and he's like alright, it's just kind of fun, it's not like as it's like they tried to make it be that quote. What was just great about it was it's just such a spur of the moment thing to kind of just say.
Speaker 8:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess, I guess, like maybe in that era where people can only see a movie once, you know for a long while, and you know they want to go tell their friends and they want to hold on to something from that movie that they can use again and remember, Because the rest of the movie gets sad, because Goose dies. It does.
Speaker 1:He's like talk to me, goose, he's freaking out. He's trying to fly the F-14. He's holding on to his dog tags. He's like talk to me, goose, then you get the beginning, where it's fun.
Speaker 2:It's nice and short and powerful. I dig it Alright, Mitch's.
Speaker 8:Mitch's monologues. I'll tell you something, kid, everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either because they're too scared or they don't recognize it when it spits on their shoes. This is your big chance.
Speaker 2:And you shouldn't let it go by. All right, what is that from Mitch?
Speaker 1:Sandlot. Oh, you didn't have the ending. I All right. What is that from Mitch Sandlot?
Speaker 3:Oh, you didn't have the ending. I don't know what he recorded. Move it up. I know what I put.
Speaker 1:Because the best part is like remember kid. He's like heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's part of the quote that I have.
Speaker 1:I love how Babe Ruth is standing there and he looks at the picture of him and Hank Aaron.
Speaker 3:And he's inspirational. When I think of best quotes, I think of something that inspires. So he's telling the Benny the Jet Rodriguez.
Speaker 1:That movie has a lot of great quotes.
Speaker 3:Live while he can Do what he can.
Speaker 1:You're killing me Smalls.
Speaker 2:Would you consider the Sandlot to be a sports movie?
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Sandlot is a sports movie. It's all about baseball. It's about baseball and it's about good baseball.
Speaker 2:It's about baseball, and it's about good baseball.
Speaker 1:It's probably my favorite. It's probably the purest baseball stuff ever because it's the closest you really get to it. Yeah, that everybody who watches it can get to it, because we all played. I played in a lot like that in New York and there would be kids around the neighborhood in Eagle Estates and Medford and Long Island and we would go and play. Someone's dad would pitch and we would play all the positions.
Speaker 2:Yeah Island and we would go and like play like someone's dad would pitch and like we don't play all the positions. Oh yeah, is it fun. I always I did backyard sports and stuff as a kid too and yeah, I always it wasn't the soccer one called the the big green or something like. Oh yeah, yeah air bud.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that one for sure, I always played football we always fantasize about there's a little Giants.
Speaker 1:It was signed by Baby Ruth Babe.
Speaker 5:Ruth and all the kids.
Speaker 1:And then when they get the ball back from Darth Vader, it's just like I don't think it was like that ball was signed by Babe Ruth and he goes. So is this one and the rest of the 1927.
Speaker 4:New York.
Speaker 1:Yankees and if you're a baseball fan, that means a lot Because it like that means a lot, because it's like they talk about dream teams in all sports, like the Olympic dream team in basketball with, like all the great players like Larry Bird, michael Jordan and what's his face Charles Barkley, ken Koff.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:That was the version of it in baseball.
Speaker 8:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like they all batted plus 300, and that was the first five guys you had to face out of nine.
Speaker 2:Wow, that's awesome. Okay, my next one.
Speaker 10:This is my very good friend, Mr Gump. Can you say hi?
Speaker 9:to him. Hello, Mr Gump, Hello.
Speaker 3:Mr Gump, hello, hello.
Speaker 9:Can I go watch TV now? Yes, you can Just keep it up. You're a mama, Jenny.
Speaker 4:I'm a mama.
Speaker 10:His name's Forrest. Like me, like me. I named him after his daddy.
Speaker 9:He got a daddy named Forrest too.
Speaker 10:After his daddy, Forrest.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10:I gots to go running forced I gots to go running written that step back was looking look at me, look at me, forrest, look at me. There's nothing you need to do. Okay, you didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 9:Okay.
Speaker 1:Isn't he beautiful?
Speaker 9:It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, but it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. But is he smart?
Speaker 10:He's very smart.
Speaker 3:I asked my wife that same thing when my son was born, is he? Smart, or is he like me and it's wild.
Speaker 1:He says it's like, oh, coming from, like the multi-millionaire medal of honor recipient, america.
Speaker 2:All-american football so the whole movie is him just like dealing with people's crap because he's stupid you know and just like not caring, barreling through giving it. I got shot in the buttocks giving it his best and just succeeding because he's so relentless and just deals with what he's got.
Speaker 2:He's uncaring about what he's been dealt with and the whole movie you're like well, that's his superpower. He just is fine with whatever life throws at him and that's why he's so successful. And in this bit, the very end, when he realizes he's got a kid and you see it on his face for the first time he doesn't want that to be for somebody else. You're just like, oh my God, he doesn't care. My feels Punch right in him. You see it on his face, tom Hanks' face. You know, damn right, the feels it's so good, All right. Next we got for Tam who's.
Speaker 1:Tam Tam.
Speaker 2:Susan Tam Tam, Susan, I'm sorry.
Speaker 10:What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Speaker 1:Explain From Cool Hand Luke, Said by Strother Martin who plays the warden. It's after Luke escapes the first time and they bring him back and like they, whatever he, they put the shackles on him and he's standing there and they're just like you ain't gonna be run, like be able to run no more with these on, and he's like boss, I wish you quit being so good to me.
Speaker 4:And he goes. He's like what?
Speaker 1:did you say? He's like, don't you? And he starts hitting him with like a nightstick or a blackjack. He's like never. And he looks at like all the other prisoners just staring at him and he's like what we've got here is Because, after that quote, he's like so many just can't reach which is Luke, because he's a spirit that just can't be broken and chained.
Speaker 2:I've never seen this movie.
Speaker 1:You've never seen Cool Hand Luke. It's probably one of the best. They call it a western because it's like a western noir kind of deal. But he plays Paul Newman, plays Cool Hand Luke who's a World War II veteran just kind of living through life, like he's just kind of one of those dudes that just he's just doing what he wants and he ends up in like a chain gang for like cutting the heads off of parking meters and they put him in like you know, the OG like taking it off you boss, you know, and you have, like, all these guards and they have shotguns and rifles and pistols, and George Kennedy is one of the other.
Speaker 1:So you got to watch the movie. You would love the movie. I got to watch the movie. I'm actually shocked you have not seen it. I'll watch it. I really think our next episode should be about Cool Hand Luke now.
Speaker 3:Well, when you win trivia later, I'm going to.
Speaker 2:I mean we could do a deep dive into Cool Hand Luke.
Speaker 1:Huge cast.
Speaker 2:Mitch, your next one.
Speaker 4:I fly home tomorrow.
Speaker 6:Is that what you want to do by Adam Sandler? You come all this way, have one bad day and you're ready to back down.
Speaker 4:No, but I suck.
Speaker 6:You love this game. I mean love it with your whole heart, because if you don't, let's not even bother, let's not open that door. They're just going to slam it right in our face. I love this game, I live this game. And there's a thousand other guys waiting in the wings who are obsessed with this game. Obsession is going to be talent. Every time you got all the talent in the world. But are you obsessed? Is it all you ever think about? Let's face it, it's you against you out there. When you walk on that court, you have to think I am the best guy out there. I don't care if lebron's playing. So let me ask you again do you love this game? Yes, is there a newborn kitten purring in here right now? I couldn't hear you.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 6:Do you want to be in the NBA?
Speaker 1:Yes, I don't remember that from Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 3:Well, not the whole NBA part, but the rest of it. Yeah, you know, you got to believe that you can achieve.
Speaker 1:What movie is this?
Speaker 3:from.
Speaker 1:Hustler.
Speaker 8:Yes.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 9:That's where he's like serious-ish he's a basketball coach.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's on Netflix. I think Adam Sandler in his later years now is a much better serious actor than he is.
Speaker 1:A comedy actor, yeah.
Speaker 2:Like what's the Jim's the comedy actor.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like what's the Jim's Uncut, jim's Uncut, jim's yeah, amazing movie you know so yeah, I really like that quote Now, granted, it's a newer quote, that wasn't around when I was younger, but I could apply it Because when I was in high school like I was a big kid but I wasn't like going to be pro or nothing like that but everybody told me that I was too small to be in the college and stuff, and I kept playing. I got a scholarship and I went and played for a little while and then things happened to where I couldn't keep playing.
Speaker 2:You outbundied yourself.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, kind of, but being a smaller guy, from my position. I just played and practiced harder than everybody else With the podcast stuff would you say.
Speaker 1:Mitch is out there in the gym and all you see is live to win till you die.
Speaker 3:But you know, like with our podcast stuff, I mean, am I the best? No, but I keep trying and trying to, you know, learn new things and keep pushing to learn how to do stuff better do you love this podcast? I do. Are you obsessed, are you?
Speaker 5:obsessed with anything that's in this you gotta say Jess, jess, jess, Jess, jess.
Speaker 6:Who is Jess?
Speaker 1:There's nobody here by that name.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it's a good quote. Yeah, it's a good quote. I can see that being applied to all these pregame, you know speeches. Yeah, and all this other stuff.
Speaker 3:And just like the other.
Speaker 1:You're black, they're white. This ain't hockey. That's one of the funniest lines ever in a sports movie.
Speaker 2:Here's my next one.
Speaker 5:Get busy living or get busy dying. I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still to hold a thought in my head.
Speaker 2:That's pretty much it. The original line was delivered first by Andy Dufresne, himself Tim Robbins, but you can't argue with Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:So, you know, I think that that's the best take on it all.
Speaker 1:Morgan Freeman can read you a grocery list and it could sound magnanimous. Please don't stop. Keep going.
Speaker 2:But no, it's a great movie about being in, like it's not just about being stuck in a prison, it's about just being stuck in general In life, you know, and the idea of, like, just give up or don't, like, fight it out. You know, find a way to defeat your demons and make things happen, like this podcast. I'm going to bring it back to the podcast. I missed it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, the podcast. Yeah, Either get busy casting or get busy.
Speaker 2:Pay us money. I mean we started from. Nothing.
Speaker 1:That's like the family guy bit where it's like subliminal messaging oh, those peaches are coming in, mighty fine Smoke. Are you smoking yet?
Speaker 3:We started with, like you know, all right one, two, three.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're having to clap to sync the mics.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and now we're interviewing people that are in like theatrically released movies Moving on up.
Speaker 1:We went from Mitch's basement to my apartment.
Speaker 2:Three floors up, Actually four if you count because we were in the basement, soon we're going to have a whole house dedicated to podcasting, isn't that right, tom?
Speaker 1:Okay, my wife might have something to say to you about that.
Speaker 2:She can have a bathroom.
Speaker 1:That's your dilemma. Now a shoe will make it your problem too All right, we'll let her talk in the podcast.
Speaker 2:All right, tom's next one Ready, I think it's a really short one.
Speaker 8:They call me Mr Tibbs.
Speaker 2:They call me Mr Tibbs, they call me, mr Tibbs, that's like four seconds yeah.
Speaker 1:It's from In the Heat of the Night, and the character you hear is Virgil Tibbs, who's a Philadelphia police officer, played by Sidney Poitier, and he ends up in like Sparta, Mississippi, which I think is a fictional town with a sheriff played by Rod Steiger. Would, you have me. Sorry, there's a lot. Have you seen In the Heat of the Night? Uh-uh, you still haven't seen that one.
Speaker 2:I haven't seen it. All right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:That's like one of the most important movies of the 60s.
Speaker 3:When it started playing, I thought it was going to be like the Lion King, mr.
Speaker 1:Pig. I think that's what they were referencing. Yeah, that's what they were lampooning. But the scene is he's obviously a black man in the South and he's a top homicide detective and they have one in the South. It's just kind of good old boys and he's got money, he's got a nice suit. They arrested him just because he was a black guy at a train station waiting after visiting his mom and going back to Philadelphia. They were just like, oh, black guy at a bench and just like, put him up and they arrested him.
Speaker 1:And like the rod steiger's, the sheriff, and he's like going through, or the chief of police, and he's going through the guy's wallet and he's like he sees like all the money so it's a lot of money for a color boy. He throws it down and he flips open the badge. The walton sees his badge and he's like huh and like they're talking to. And he's like huh and like they're talking to him and he's like what's your name? And he tells you he goes my name's. He's like Tim, what's your first name? He goes Virgil. He goes that's a funny name for a, you know, racial slur. And he's like what do they call you in Philadelphia? And he goes they call me.
Speaker 4:Mr Tim.
Speaker 1:It's like giving him the business and like the two of them end up like it's almost a buddy cop movie, but it's really really antagonistical between the two of them as it goes through the case, they have to cross the racial divide and all that stuff. They go through a lot Cause he asks him to stay Like he asking him and he's like, because I'm not an expert.
Speaker 1:Like for him to stay and like help with the investigation. They end up getting the guy and then they have like a nice handshake. Like you know, we'll see you later.
Speaker 6:Don't come back around here. No, they don't do that.
Speaker 1:They end up making a show about it years later. Oh yeah, with the guy that played Archie Bunker.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was Sidney Poitier.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he plays Virtual Tips, no way. Yeah, I think he won an Oscar for that.
Speaker 2:You don't know who that is. Mitch? No, I don't. All right, mitch, your next one.
Speaker 10:Endure. Master Wayne, Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make the right choice.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Powerful words hey you can blow the doors off the bloody Batmobile. My name is Michael Caine, michael.
Speaker 3:Caine, are you a drug?
Speaker 1:dealer? No, I'm not a drug dealer. Why does everybody keep calling you Michael Caine? No, it's Michael.
Speaker 2:Caine. So, Mitch, why'd you pick that one?
Speaker 3:Well, I like it because, you know, it's kind of reminiscent of things like we do.
Speaker 1:People might not like what we do, but we do it anyway, Because it's our show and we can do what we want. Damn it.
Speaker 2:It sounds like you're going through some problems.
Speaker 3:No well, I'm just saying you picked all these inspirational quotes A lot of inspiration. That's the quotes. I like I don't know when it comes to quotes. Now there's one-liners that yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Get to the chopper, you know.
Speaker 1:Stick around, but you know for when it comes to quotes I like, the more. Yeah, my quotes are just all over the place.
Speaker 2:I might have a trend with mine here. We'll listen to this one.
Speaker 7:The rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule Only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule One fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule no shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule Fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.
Speaker 3:I almost chose that one.
Speaker 1:And don't talk about it.
Speaker 2:Well, that's the point. So he says it twice, you know first and second rule. Right, but what do they all do? The numbers grow right, yeah, so they're talking about Fight Club the point of Fight Club is there are no rules, and each one of those rules they end up breaking at some point. And that's the point. If you want to know what anarchy is, watch this movie and you know the fallacy of anarchy which is, you know, pointed out by the end of the movie.
Speaker 2:So, everybody likes to crap on Fight Club for being a movie that's like oh, it's just for some edgy kids that think the government is broken and stuff like that. No, it's actually like a warning piece about what happens if you give in to anarchy and stuff. But yeah, the way that they layer the idea of how Fight Club works by putting out really poignant rules.
Speaker 1:And then the idea is break them and Meatloaf a day gets killed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he would do anything for love.
Speaker 3:He won't do that. He won't do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean two out of three ain't bad yeah.
Speaker 2:You could say.
Speaker 1:you took the words right out of my mouth All right Tom A Venus 44.
Speaker 5:Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself one question Do I feel lucky? Well, do you punk?
Speaker 2:So I tried to find a clip that didn't have weird feedback and I realized it was like at an airport or something. It's at the bank.
Speaker 1:It's the alarms going off in the bank and it's the fire hydrant the bad guys crash into after Callahan shoots them. Yeah, okay, All right. But yeah, that was from the first Dirty Harry movie, a part that was almost played by Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 2:The tracks which is wild. He almost played a lot of weird roles at some point.
Speaker 1:Well, I think he had just had surgery and he couldn't hold the Smith Wesson Model 29 with the 8-inch barrel. Just tape it to his hand Like straight and steady, Because a lot of people they were like oh, I can't do it, or I can't do it.
Speaker 1:They offered it to John Wayne. He's like no, or I can't do it. Like even, uh, they offered it to John Wayne, he's like no, I can't do this movie, yeah. And then they were like you should go get Clint Eastwood for this. Yeah, well, everybody's like go get Clint Eastwood and do this movie. And then, finally, they got Clint Eastwood. He's like all right.
Speaker 2:I'll do it. Maybe six or seven years ago and I got to say he was pretty clean.
Speaker 1:Yeah. As the interesting, I mean, you know, given our chosen professions and us having a little bit of knowledge about this for firsthand stuff.
Speaker 2:I was talking about his hygiene, but yeah, he was very clean.
Speaker 1:Cut the the everybody's like. Or Roger Deaver, I think he had even said it. He goes, he's like. Or Roger Deaver, I think he had even said it. He goes. He's like you have to suspend disbelief for these movies, because otherwise you'd spend the first two hours wondering how he's not in jail. Yeah, with certain things and it's like a lot of it is just like, yeah, there are existential circumstances. He also forces himself into situations where deadly force becomes the option.
Speaker 2:Well, hey, we can talk about that out there. But I mean that's like it's the 70s.
Speaker 1:It was a different time and the fact that it's San Francisco is wild, yeah, but it's just such a great cool quote Because, like, he sits down because he sees like the robbery happening, he knows what's going on, and he's sitting there eating a hot dog and he tells the guy he's like hey, call this number, tell him Inspector Callahan thinks whatever the police code is is happening and he's like, I'm right. He's like yeah, and he's, he's calling. And he's just like no, we wait for the cavalry. And he takes a bite of his hot dog. You hear, like you know, shooting off guns and you hear the alarms go off, they come running out, and he's just like, like he's still chewing, yeah, while the shootouts happening, up until he gets to that point, Just nonchalantly.
Speaker 1:And he actually fires six rounds. You can count them.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, look at that, because he pulls out.
Speaker 1:He shoots the car, the guy gets out, he shoots him, he shoots the other guy who comes out of the bank and he walks up and he says the quote and the guy is like about to reach for a shotgun and he like I gots to know. And Callahan just turns and looks at him, points the revolver at him and pulls the hammer back and pulls the trigger. He goes like and it just clicks on an empty chamber because he's out and the guy's like son of a and Dirty Harry just looks at him and goes and just walks away as the police cars show up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, ooze is awesome. You know what I guarantee you in our lifetime they're going to try and remake that.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I'm surprised they haven't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Probably with Scott Eastwood too.
Speaker 1:I want a buddy cop movie of him and Scott who's James Caan's kid? Is it Scottie Caan? I?
Speaker 2:don't know, scott Caan yeah.
Speaker 1:From like the Oceans movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. From like the Oceans movies. Yeah, those two. Give me that movie but with obnoxious Boston accents. They don't have the voice though. No, they don't, nobody does. Have you heard, scott Eastwood?
Speaker 3:talk oh yeah, but not a lot yeah, because like OG.
Speaker 8:Clemson's like 6'4". All right, like he's constipated, here's yours. When I was 16, I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be 100. Now I know I shall not see 30. That too. None of us know our end really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. That man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that, howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God you cannot say even though those who presumed play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say but I was told by others to do thus or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice.
Speaker 3:Remember that and I like that quote because, you know, at the end of the day, everyone is supposed to be responsible for their own selves, which you know. Sometimes I feel like society has kind of forgot that you're responsible for you, not you know him or him or her, you know, and people can't just claim oh well, I was told to do it, you know. In that case we could just be Nazis.
Speaker 2:Well, Hitler told me to you know, yeah, they don't work in Nuremberg.
Speaker 3:Like I said, mine are a little more serious quotes, but that's something I live by.
Speaker 2:I'm frankly impressed, glad to see that you picked something so thoughtful. Oh, yeah, thank you, I did like that. He's kind of like an Alexander the Great archetype. There's some sort of sense of nobility, not just in the birth sense, but the fact that he has virtues and the Arabs that they're kind of like in peace, talks with respect him and obviously everything goes to crap when he dies and stuff. But the way that he talks about how great he is and he acknowledges his greatness and yet he's still a man and his time is coming and he acknowledges that everybody. You don't know when your time is coming. You make your impact while you still can.
Speaker 3:In a lot of movies they make the Templars out to be these greedy people. They make kings a lot of times to be greedy people in movies and stuff. But I feel like this one follows what the Knights Templars code was supposed to be and how the people from Jerusalem that were ruling and stuff were actually supposed to be during that time, as opposed to just saying, oh well, they just wanted money and land kind of stuff like the ones that were part of the Templars that they kind of kicked out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we could get into a—I land kind of stuff, like the ones that were part of the Templars that they kicked out. I've been here the whole time. We can get into a big conversation about the movie of the Kingdom of Heaven and the history behind it towards what would be the Second.
Speaker 2:Crusade.
Speaker 1:You've got to suspend disbelief when it comes to history Also the Baleen of Ibelin that Orlando Bloom plays is like 50-something years old when this happens. Not you know. I didn't realize he was an actual character and he wasn't kidnapped, almost, or like brought from France Like he had lived in the Levant, that area for many, many years, I wonder.
Speaker 2:I mean, I would like to do a deep dive into the historical accuracy of it, but I think it would probably just make me angry.
Speaker 1:I mean Edward Norton's portrayal of Baldwin IV is pretty much accurate to a lot of source material about him. That man in real life, same with what's his face? The Sultan? No, not the Sultan, not the Sultan. Guido Luzon-ignan is a moron in real life, but he was supported by Richard when he shows up, because he ends up becoming king of Jerusalem and loses it because he loses the Battle of Hatton in 1187. Interesting. Because he wouldn't listen to anybody about you know large armies and water are important.
Speaker 2:You're telling me that the French didn't have great combat sense.
Speaker 9:All right.
Speaker 6:Moving on.
Speaker 2:They make great croissants.
Speaker 5:My next one. A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Speaker 3:I like how we all had this idea, hayden didn't do it, but he was watching us.
Speaker 2:I was going to do it on time, you guys jumped in.
Speaker 1:Well, Mitch started doing it and I thought it was the clip, Because he was like Okay, yes, sansa the Lambs. Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Speaker 2:Oh man, True psychological horror in its peak what is? His early 80s, when this movie came out sauce the lambs.
Speaker 1:I think it's the 90s yeah, it's early 90s.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think it's like 1993, maybe maybe, yeah they.
Speaker 2:They just can't do psychological horror like that anymore. You know, he's like and also the chaos of the movie.
Speaker 1:You know buffalo bill's the bad guy but like they really don't treat him like the bad guy 91. They treat him like a side character but yeah it's.
Speaker 2:It's like one of the few examples of like the devil you know is worse because when hannibal like manipulates and this the crimes that he does to get out of prison and stuff.
Speaker 1:Cutting off a guard's face.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah yeah, and that scene right there where he delivers the line and you realize he's not a human, he's a monster. He just sells it because he gets so inhuman emotions about it. He's reminiscing about the taste of the census taker's liver and stuff like that Salivating. Father beans in a nice candy. I watch that movie at least once a year. That's such a great movie. Moving on to Tams Next, you got a light buddy, yeah sure kid, there you go and your wallet, nick give him your wallet. What for? He's got a knife. That's not a knife.
Speaker 5:That's a knife.
Speaker 2:He like procures a machete just from nowhere.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he has it on on his back actually.
Speaker 2:How does he sit down? It's just strapped to his back.
Speaker 1:He has it on a scab on his back with like a strap that goes around his chest, because he ends up giving the knife to the bellhop guy or the doorman at the hotel at the end of the movie, when he goes off for a walkabout and then Sue realizes she loves him.
Speaker 8:Oh.
Speaker 2:Sue.
Speaker 1:That's just such a. I mean, how many times have you heard people say that in your life? That's not a knife, that's not a knife.
Speaker 2:Paul Hogan isn't even Australian right. He's American, Paul Hogan.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's American.
Speaker 8:Paul Hogan yeah, he's Australian, is he yeah?
Speaker 2:That accent's genuine.
Speaker 8:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I thought he wasn't.
Speaker 1:He was a really big actor in Australia because he had his own. He was like a worker and they had some game show and he ended up on it.
Speaker 4:Wow.
Speaker 1:And he just spent it making fun of the people who ran it. But he was so funny doing it, they gave him his own show.
Speaker 8:Really.
Speaker 1:So he had the Paul Hogan show for years and he was huge in Australia and when it came time to do Crocodile Dundee, he wrote it along with a couple other friends and he's like Australia never had their big movie. We never had a Hollywood movie. He's like we wrote this movie for Australia. He's like we wrote this movie for Australia. He's like this movie is for us. It's like this is our big moment movie. Everybody's like what about Mad Max? Well, the first Mad Max really did not do that great in the United.
Speaker 2:States.
Speaker 1:No, you can't tell, it's in Australia, because they actually dubbed it Because they thought people wouldn't understand Australian accents. Really, the American theatrical release of the first Mad Max movie is dubbed. That's funny. So that's why, like crocodile dundee was a cultural phenomena, yeah, like he hosted the uh oscars that year no way because of that yeah, I remember watching as a kid, thinking it was a great movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's just such a fun. It's one of the easiest movies to watch because you don't really have to be that invested into it everything about it is just it's. It's a very. It's one of the most charming movies. That doesn't try to do it to you.
Speaker 2:The part where he's like walking on people's shoulders in a New York subway station.
Speaker 1:To get to Sue to tell her he loves her.
Speaker 2:That was the most unrealistic thing. Could you imagine New Yorkers?
Speaker 1:I have. Do you have any idea how many times I've seen that happen?
Speaker 2:And people let it happen. Yeah, all right, you're the New York professionals I mean definitely in.
Speaker 1:Manhattan, not the Bronx, it's not happening there or Staten Island, but the Queens parts, yeah, brooklyn, definitely. Manhattan, all the time Interesting. And just the sheer fact that she kicks off her high heels and starts running in stockings down the street in New York and then down the subway and doesn't stop because something impaled her foot shocks me. Wow, like not a dirty syringe, a piece of glass, nothing. A hobo Gross All right Mitch.
Speaker 8:If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If they prayed for courage, does God give them courage or does he give them opportunities to be courageous?
Speaker 10:If someone prayed for the family to be closer do you think God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
Speaker 2:So you picked a line from one of the worst movies ever made, but it is a good quote.
Speaker 3:What?
Speaker 1:is this movie.
Speaker 3:Evan Almighty.
Speaker 1:No, so you picked a line from one of the worst movies ever made.
Speaker 3:But, it is a good quote.
Speaker 2:What is this movie, evan?
Speaker 3:Almighty. No, that's from Evan Almighty. Yeah, wow, it is a good quote.
Speaker 1:I'll give you that, but I mean because you sit down and it makes you think he's like you know, if you pray for X, do you get X or do you actually get Y?
Speaker 3:Because either you do you get it, or do you get X, or do you actually get Y, because either you Do you get it or do you get the opportunity to do it, to do it.
Speaker 1:And you already had it yourself.
Speaker 3:Right. So you know, it's kind of like, you know it's the fact that you had the opportunity, but are you willing to do it?
Speaker 1:I guess it's kind of like the end of the Wizard of Oz, where you ask for a brand and it's like you've already been the smartest person here. It's like you've had it all along. The Cowardly Lion was courageous.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's kind of an extrapolation from the first movie, where Bruce is cursing out God for not giving him what he wants and God's like fine, you be God. Then he realizes he can't just give people what they want, because then they don't actually learn how to get what they want how to do what they need to. And in this one he kind of doubles down on that by saying there's no point in willing people to do what they need to do they have to actively engage and interact with each other, learn how to do it themselves and his do.
Speaker 3:They have to actively engage and interact with each other. Learn how to do it themselves.
Speaker 1:And his little nipples went to France. All right, you remember that from Bruce Almighty, barely, where he's sitting there and he's like, and he starts doing what he's trying to do, like the news thing, he goes and my little nipples went to France. That's the best part I remember other than bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger From Bruce.
Speaker 3:When he stands up and goes wham, it's close, come on.
Speaker 8:That was a wild movie, it was Peak Jim.
Speaker 2:Carrey. All right, my next one.
Speaker 10:I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges and licenses, hearing and hearing contained, et cetera, et cetera. Fax mentis incendium gloria calpum, et cetera, et cetera. Memo bis punitor delicatum. It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal. You stole fizzy lifting drinks, you bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized. So you get nothing, you lose. Good day, sir Solid.
Speaker 1:It's so wild because the actor that played him, they had to tell him it's like we're acting, because he literally thought Gene Wilder was mad at him. He's like I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:He likes this because he tells his kids this all the time. Clear as crystal you lose Every time he beats his kids, this all the time Clear as crystal.
Speaker 1:You lose Every time he beats his kids in Super Smash Brothers.
Speaker 2:Again, like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a movie that you can watch different stages of your life, and I remember, like seeing him being angry as a kid. I'm like why is he so mad? You know. And then, like when you get older, it's not enough that Charlie is a good kid, he's got to know, like, just because you didn't have everything in life and you're not a rotten apple, you're still not exempt from making mistakes and bearing consequences, and I think that's a good message for people to learn.
Speaker 3:The reason he eventually does still choose him is because he didn't make excuses no, he just apologized. Yeah, and he gave back the slow one because he didn't make excuses no, he just apologized.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he gave back the slow one, the everlasting gobstopper.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it was also kind of like a last-ditch effort to try and get him to do the right thing. Yeah, there's a lot of psychological stuff for this movie. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And a lot of it was just on Gene Wilder's part, where he comes out at the beginning and he's got the cane and he's limping and he looks kind of frail. But he told it like that, that was all scripted. He sticks the cane between the bricks and takes a step without it like he's going to falter, and then he does the somersault and pops up like yeah. And they're like why? And he goes? Because from that moment on you can't believe anything. I do.
Speaker 1:He's like that's now the entire tone is set for everything that happens, like you cannot believe anything.
Speaker 2:It's a wow, willy Wonka story Willy. Wonka Tom.
Speaker 10:Damn. Not a taste of your ass anymore. Eh, You're warm, though You're warm, my son. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room.
Speaker 1:It's such a great line because, it's so stupid. If you don't know it's from Dr Strangelove. Or how I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bump. They're in the Pentagon, in the war room, and the generals all start fighting with each other and the president goes you can't fight it here.
Speaker 2:This is the war room. That's where we talk about fighting.
Speaker 1:That movie is nothing but pure satire. That's just punching you in the face.
Speaker 2:And in the end, where you're just like geez, Just literally drop a bomb on you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then it's just like the cuts of all the bombs going off and it's just mutually assured destruction that is happening, with like pleasant music going on. Yeah, Because he gets slim pickets falling down riding the bomb with the cowboys like yeah it's a great movie. Darth Vader's in that movie.
Speaker 2:Yep, that was one of his first big movies and I think I watched an interview with James Earl Jones talking about how, being a colored actor at that time, he wasn't getting any work and Kubrick was one of the first people to cut him a break. And Kubrick is definitely a controversial director in his techniques and the way he can waste money, but you can't deny the guy. He doesn't see race, he doesn't see gender and doesn't see uh gender and stuff like that. He just sees talent and clings to it and then makes it work and then, I don't know, he doesn't care what like you'd be a great person to have as a director today, with all like the movements and stuff that are happening and just making a movie because he can.
Speaker 2:So all right, mitch, here's the next one world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
Speaker 4:It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward.
Speaker 3:That's how winning is done.
Speaker 2:I do like that line because he doesn't say it's not about how hard you can get hit.
Speaker 8:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You'd think he was going to say it's about how hard you can hit back. No, it's about how hard you actually get hit. It's a good line for people to have.
Speaker 3:When life just keeps beating you down and taking your money, taking your will to live.
Speaker 1:Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
Speaker 3:It's good because it's just a quote about no matter how things are, you just got to keep striving to be better.
Speaker 2:I remember nothing from that movie besides that little quote right there. Oh, no you got to have some hitting power.
Speaker 3:You know, he's like you got to have speed. You ain't got it. He's like you got to have agility your knees ain't there no more, something like that. He's like you got to have some hitting power. So that's what he's like punching, like cow carcasses in the freezer and stuff he's like throwback to the old Rocky.
Speaker 2:He comes out of retirement to fight like some young guy, right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because in the whole movie they did some kind of simulation on the TV and they're like oh yeah, rocky would have lost or it was either he lost or won on the simulation.
Speaker 1:I think he was saying he lost to Rocky.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was the simulation. I think he was saying he lost to Rocky. Yeah, it was the simulation. So then, like the guy was like mad that ESPN said this video game simulation that he would have lost to Rocky, he's like, nah, man, I'd have killed that guy.
Speaker 1:And so they set up a whole like thing for it, but it's like you still can't do it because you can't bring back prime Rocky Right.
Speaker 3:The bad part is you almost lost to Rocky. You know almost.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's when you just pull the kid aside. It's like whose franchise are we in? What's your name? It's not that movie.
Speaker 2:Look up at the title credits of this movie. What is?
Speaker 1:it Five letters R-O-C-K.
Speaker 2:It's like Logan Paul and the Mike Tyson thing. If it wasn't rigged, I'd be, shocked. I mean honestly. I wish Mike Tyson could have just been 10 years younger for that fight.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, granted, you know whether it's rigged or not. There is one time in that fight Mike Tyson decks him and then from that point on it looked like Tyson just kind of covers up and just threw jabs the rest of the fight.
Speaker 2:He's like my bad Such a shameless money grab.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was I.
Speaker 2:I hate that guy.
Speaker 3:That you can almost watch because of the loading.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, it was so bad, jake Paul, whatever the Pauls.
Speaker 3:Logan Paul's on WWE. I don't like him.
Speaker 2:He's actually a good athlete, though surprisingly Shameless grabs.
Speaker 6:All right this is my next one, forget it Jake, it's Chinatown.
Speaker 2:That was really quiet.
Speaker 1:I had that one too.
Speaker 2:Chinatown.
Speaker 1:That was really quiet. I had that one too. You had Chinatown. Yeah, I thought I had it on mine. She's like nope Chinatown the last of the true detective noir films.
Speaker 2:I'd say LA Confidential's up there. La Confidential is more of a I would call it a generational leap. I feel like if you're looking back at the Sam Spade era, chinatown fits well with it. Yeah, there's some beats that mesh well, but the cinematography in LA Confidential is new. The action scene's new, the buddy cop, feel things like that For this Chinatownown. It had all the tropes. That's like quintessential hardboiled detective stuff. You know the uh, the femme fatale, the government conspiracy, like this deep uh debauchery that happens between the father daughter, gross romance stuff. That's going on. There's some really cool sketchy gumshoe stuff that you just don't see played out well. You can't really do a hardball detective movie anymore because the lingo and the culture just doesn't jive with the modern audience.
Speaker 1:It doesn't exist in the modern world anymore.
Speaker 2:Which is sad. There's been attempts, but I'd like to see something truly make a comeback, but the audience just wouldn't be there for it. Back to Tom.
Speaker 9:I admire your courage, mr Trench, sylvia Trench.
Speaker 8:I admire your luck Mr. Bond, james Bond Bond.
Speaker 6:James Bond Bond.
Speaker 2:What is it? Does it say James Bond, james Bambleance?
Speaker 6:Stroke Savage stroke 191.
Speaker 1:I love how the Bond, james Bond thing is because she says her name that way, and he's just making fun of her and he just goes.
Speaker 1:it's like Mr Bond. As he lights the cigarette he goes James Bond. But he's sitting there in the tux and at the cool club and they're playing some game. You don't know and you don't really know what's going on, but he's got the big thing. He's picking up cards. Don't have a. You don't know and you don't really know what's going on, but he's got the big thing. He's like picking up cards. You know big stacks of chips but they're like squares and they've got like lots of numbers and zeros around them.
Speaker 1:And they're playing for big money and they just walk up. It's like, Mr Bond, there's a call for you, and that's how it becomes from then. How well they can say it as Bond.
Speaker 2:So you being like a Bond aficionado? That's Dr no, that's from Dr no yes, all right. But that's the casino scene right, Not from Casino Royale. No, it's not from Casino Royale, all right, but Casino Royale, the Daniel Craig movie, which one does that kind of lean on. Do you think Royale, the Daniel Craig movie, which one does that kind of?
Speaker 1:lean on, do you think? From the book Casino Royale?
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:So, like, a lot of these are based on books, but Ian Fleming died, I think there was probably like five to ten novels and a couple short stories, but by the 80s they were running out of material, yeah. And that's where you had kind of a couple of retreads Okay, like where you had kind of a couple of retreads Okay, like where you had the non-Eon production, where Never Say Never Again is based on Thunderball from 1965.
Speaker 2:Is that better than Thunderball?
Speaker 1:Eh, if the original Thunderball was 30 minutes shorter, it'd probably be one of the better Bond movies. It'd be top five, okay.
Speaker 2:The Connery ones really are just I might have to do the gauntlet. I've did them all.
Speaker 5:Don't do it I know you don't like them, but I did them all like 15 years ago.
Speaker 1:I mean Dr, no, but I mean from Russia. With Love, goldfinger are the two best.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I still like Daniel Craig. I thought he was great balling.
Speaker 3:Those were better those were interesting.
Speaker 1:He doesn't have the charm.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:He just doesn't. There was something funny.
Speaker 2:Explain to us how a man is supposed to charm you, Tom.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you you watch the Connery movies. He wouldn't know. You watch Connery. You watch Daniel Craig. Who would you rather hang out with?
Speaker 2:Daniel Craig.
Speaker 1:Because he's alive. It freaked me out. If you were going to go out and just do some shenanigans and just try to meet women, who are you going to go with?
Speaker 2:Well, I'd probably still Daniel Craig, because I don't want to get an assault charge when Connery starts slapping women.
Speaker 1:Like I don't know, give him a little smack.
Speaker 3:What did he like? Interview him for Entrapment or something like that, that movie?
Speaker 1:when he said that, yeah, I don't remember he said it to like Playboy, like 1975.
Speaker 9:Oh.
Speaker 6:And he's just like yeah sometimes you just gotta smack him, remind him who's boss.
Speaker 2:All right, Mitch.
Speaker 6:Let somebody tell you you can't do something, not even me. You can't do something Not even me All right.
Speaker 8:All right you got a dream.
Speaker 6:You got to protect it. People can't do something themselves. They want to tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it, period and here we are.
Speaker 3:We've made it mitch, here we are. We're still working, but you know we're growing and like, kind of like I said earlier, you know I was told that I never get a scholarship because I wasn't big enough, wasn't't fast enough, strong enough. I did it. Yeah, does it?
Speaker 2:Yeah no, the fight against the tide movies, the struggles to success movies those are always great. It's just tough to watch Will Smith say anything inspirational nowadays.
Speaker 3:Well nowadays, but back then he was doing a lot of good movies, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Before everybody had his wife's name in their mouth.
Speaker 2:Careful. Maybe that's the way to get him on the podcast.
Speaker 1:I think I just heard a Bentley car. Will Smith ain't smacking me I mean he's a large man.
Speaker 3:What are you?
Speaker 2:saying he's in his 40s, late 40s.
Speaker 1:No, he's got to be in his 50s.
Speaker 2:I'm putting his Adam's apple through the back of his head. You think you got him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think I really do.
Speaker 3:Did you see him hit the alien on Independence Day?
Speaker 1:Yeah, in 1995.
Speaker 3:Welcome to Earth. That'd be funny if he came and said that knocked him out of his chair. That'd be funny if he came in and said that knocked him out of his chair and just kicked out of the mic.
Speaker 6:Welcome to Earth, oh my.
Speaker 3:God.
Speaker 1:That was Will Smith. Oh my God.
Speaker 3:I just slammed the door on his way back in.
Speaker 2:All right, here's my last one.
Speaker 1:I have a joke I can make about that, but I'll tell you later my last one right.
Speaker 6:Yes, I'd like to hear it now. Sing it for me. It's called Daisy, daisy, daisy, give me your answer to my crazy heart.
Speaker 4:I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. I'm a crazy man. Give me your answer to.
Speaker 9:I am crazy.
Speaker 4:All for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage.
Speaker 3:I can't afford a carriage. 2001 Space Odyssey. Good job, Mitch. How 3000?
Speaker 2:How 9000?
Speaker 3:How 9000?.
Speaker 2:So the movie 2001 Space Odyssey is about how humanity only evolves through war right and the monkey scenes where they learn how to use weapons like bones and beat the hell out of each other.
Speaker 9:Jump forward in the future.
Speaker 2:Use weapons like bones and beat the hell out of each other. Jump forward into the future. They've got a supercomputer robot that controls the ship, the thing that they live in. It controls their atmosphere, their food, everything, and when it makes an error it knows, because it did wrong, that the humans are contemplating terminating it because, it's wrong now.
Speaker 9:It has to live.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and again humanity versus the most advanced thing that humans have created, an artificial intelligence, and they go to war and he's literally killing it by ripping its brains out, the computer chips. And as its brains are being ripped out, the song Daisy is the first computational song ever recorded by a computer back in like the I don't know, like the 50s or something like that, and so that's a throwback to that, because it's like basically broken it down to his childhood era and he's killing it like it's a baby, so creepy and morbid and over the top, but the I feel like you're reading way too into it.
Speaker 2:That's totally intentional.
Speaker 3:He's like I love it. I love that quote. I love this movie.
Speaker 2:I love the layers man. There's so much going on with it and the fact that they Like onions. They showcase the exposition of human evolving. It's very Kubrick-like, it's not pretty, it's just what it is, and you know the way he kills it and stuff like that.
Speaker 8:And this is what the 60s, I think 1964?
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, 2001, space Odyssey, and they're talking about artificial intelligence, the fear and all that stuff. It's almost like a century ahead of its time, because here we are now.
Speaker 1:yeah, it's wild none of us are real.
Speaker 2:We're all ai I hope they don't remake this movie well, because they talked about ai there was.
Speaker 3:There was two ais talking to each other, because I knew they were going to shut one down and it was talking about how or uh, something about how like it could move off its program to get onto something else, so it wouldn't be just deleted, I mean like the turing test is basically essentially, if I talk to a computer and I don't know it's a computer, I think I'm talking to a human.
Speaker 2:It passes the turing test. There's a little bit more complicated than that, but essentially, if I could believe that what I'm talking to is an argument, then they consider that to be a passable artificial intelligence, an entity that exists. You know, movies like this and theories like this argue anything that strives for self-preservation. That's an entity that exists. You know, movies like this and theories like this argue anything that strives for self-preservation. That's an entity that exists. So it's cool. And yeah, if there's a computer that's like don't kill me or I'll kill you. That's what humanity has been doing since we've existed. So mutual assured destruction, good stuff, all right. Well, that's been our top ten best movie lines.
Speaker 1:That took a lot longer than.
Speaker 2:I thought it would.
Speaker 3:Now we've got to go to top worst.
Speaker 2:Well, we're going to go ahead and cut this episode, but tune in. I don't know when the next one will upload, but you'll see Tune in next week for Entertain this. This was definitely a heavier episode. Yeah, because it's the good stuff. It this was definitely a heavier episode. Yeah, because it's the good stuff. It's the stuff that resonated with us in our movies. Now the next episode is going to be the silly stuff.
Speaker 1:This wasn't our normal fair of shenanigans and nonsense.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so stick around, stick around, there you go.
Speaker 1:Stick around. That's a great example. What was your favorite quote?
Speaker 2:from this. All right, appreciate it.
Speaker 1:Hasta la vista, baby vista. Goodbye from.
Speaker 2:Mitch. Bye, goodbye from Tom. Bye, tom, and goodbye from me, hayden, goodbye.
Speaker 3:Daisy, daisy it was.
Speaker 2:I was like what the hell are you playing just like?
Speaker 9:bone shit. God, we'll see you next time.
