Back In The Day: Hooper

LAST TIME ON BINGE-WATCHERS PODCAST

Our crew covered our favorite movies from 2020 and revealed our top 5 most played episodes from the year by you the fans...

TONIGHT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT

A movie that came out BACK IN THE DAY, it came out 40 or so years ago, but serves as a kind of a love letter from a stunt man to stunt men during a time when stunt workers bled for their art to bring stories to the screen, broke bones to hit their marks, and died in such pursuit... 

Back in the Day, Hal Needham and Burt Reynolds brought us HOOPER a fun ride filled with beer-drinking horses, 325 foot jumps, and among other things --- the director swears all the stunts were real.

But first --- home video headlines!!!

HOME VIDEO HEADLINES 

The Office has officially moved to Peacock from NBC.

No longer streaming on Netflix.

Episode playlists are an awesome feature such as Best of Dwight, Best of Jim, and Worst of Toby, but also include collections breaking down cringeworthy moments, holiday episodes, and other ‘best's.’ Great behind the scenes stuff too.

They did a cold open promo never before released to market the move to Peacock - it was a great moment for Hank the security guard too bad they never used The Matrix sketch in the actual show.

WW84 is the most streamed VOD to date.

Nomadland can’t be seen anywhere, but it is a critical hit.

TONIGHT’S MOVIE IS HOOPER FROM 1978

Sonny Hooper (Burt Reynolds) is getting too banged up to remain Hollywood's top stuntman, but he signs up as the stunt coordinator for a big-budget action movie with a pushy director (Robert Klein) and a clueless star (Adam West). Ready to retire from the physical abuse, Hooper is gearing up to make the film's climactic stunt his biggest ever, but cocky young stuntman Ski Chinski (Jan-Michael Vincent) aims to steal the glory with his more scientific, technology-oriented stunt methods.

Also starring Sally Field, Brian Keith, and Jim Best.

Transcript

Speaker 1: 0:00

All right. Last time we've been to watch this podcast. Our crew covered our favorite movies from 2020, and we were real to our top five most plate episodes from the year by you, the fans. But tonight we're talking about a movie that came out back in the day. It came out about 40 years ago or so, but serves as a, kind of a love letter from a stuntman man to stuntman during a time when some workers bled for their art to bring stories to the screen, broke their backs, to hit their marks and died in such a pursuit back in the day, how lead him in Burt Reynolds brought us Hooper a fun-filled ride with beer, drinking horses, a 325 foot jump and among other things, the director swears that all the stunts were real. But first let's go to some video headlines, correct?

Speaker 2: 0:40

Cold box of wine. Oh, pour something cold on iceberg, eats the binge watches.

Speaker 1: 1:17

Uh, the office has officially moved to peacock from NBC. They're no longer streaming on Netflix. Uh, they have these episodes play this, so that are pretty cool. There's like best of Dwight. That's the gym, worst of Toby, which is like a running gag on the show. How bad Toby is, um, at the office, they have cringe-worthy moments. They broke up the holiday episodes in their own playlist and some other bests. And they also have like a bunch of behind the scenes stuff, which may have been like on the DVD sets. I dunno. I dunno. I never had a box set, so I don't know if like the documentary stuff was included on any of the DVDs, but it's on the streamer and they always get these cold opens and they did one with Hank, a security guard, and he doesn't get a lot of airtime. So there's actually a pretty funny, like they did like a matrix sketch where, you know, Dwight was getting stuck to the matrix and, and, and security guy was playing like a Morpheus type character. Um, I thought it was pretty good, but it's kind of like a shock that, you know, Netflix. Well, I guess it makes sense because each one of the streamers has to have a flagship show or movie. Right. So, I mean, what are your thoughts? Like, do you guys think that the office should be available on all the platforms or does it make sense that it's just like NBC only, this is our deal. I mean, if they own it, they have the rights to it. So I understand, but my understanding is they bought the rights back or like to stream something like that because they wanted a flagship show. Um, cause it's like number bids, number one on Netflix for years, or like Netflix and like Netflix, wasn't tied into my cable package. I would have already like gotten rid of Netflix and just stayed with peacock. I mean, friends watch. So you could watch the office every day. Yeah. I watched three episodes like on most nights, almost every day. And I've never seen that talks about like stuff to turn on in the background while you're doing chores or like while you're trying to get something done and like, be that a podcast or a movie thing is the office because I know the episodes so well, I'm not going to be upset if I miss something because I got to run into a task. Right. Throw it on in the background.

Speaker 3: 3:24

Construction dudes are listening to led Zepplin all day long.

Speaker 4: 3:31

That's a good, good reference, Adam. That's good.

Speaker 1: 3:36

Um, in other news, uh, Warner brothers and HBO, max are both together and independently reporting that, uh, wonder woman 1984 is the most streamed, highest grossing streaming movie of all time, not just on HBO, max, but of anything that's out there. Supposedly it's information is supported by a third-party data analytics company. I don't know how they would get access to the information to determine whether or not a movie is the most stream, uh, date. What do you think about that?

Speaker 5: 4:06

Uh, well we were talking earlier. I would totally buy this just because of, I don't know, on Facebook, like it's the number one thing I've seen talk about every film group that I've been part of. Like everybody's talking about wonder woman 84. So, you know, based on that and the fact that it's the first free not, not pay premium for, but it's the first free movie with the subscription. That's huge would have been done huge and theaters. I absolutely buy that.

Speaker 1: 4:32

Hmm.

Speaker 5: 4:33

Seen the data, but that's just my gut. Yeah.

Speaker 3: 4:36

I feel like we're heading to a future where little they get to claim, Oh, we're number one, highest streaming ever. And there's no way, no way to hold them accountable to actual numbers or data or know how they gathered it or anything. They just tell us stuff.

Speaker 4: 4:53

Netflix does the same thing. They're like the top 10 for the week. And you're like, is this BS? Is this real? I, I of, I agree with that. And I want to see

Speaker 1: 5:02

[inaudible] movie that you don't like, uh, the one where

Speaker 4: 5:06

I hate that movie. Yeah. I agree. But I want to, I want to see the facts. That's that's I, I totally agree with that. Where's the data like, okay. I had a hundred thousand in an hour or whatever it is. I'm like, show me something.

Speaker 3: 5:21

I feel like Netflix is just saying, this is number one in the country right now because they're staying. It is so you'll watch it because that's how they're promoting it to you. Exactly. So it's all incestuous

Speaker 1: 5:34

Proof that who be Halloween is the number one, Adam Sandler movie on Netflix. I would love to see the data on that. Exactly. I want to see that data. Um, but speaking of like movies that have, um, problems, maybe in a different way, like, they're not like they're not saying that this movie is the most streamed. This movie has a problem with like, not being able to be seen, but they're claiming it's awards worthy, but this is a nomad land, which a movie coming out, supposedly starting and directed by, I think instructed by presidents with dormant. Um, I think she has a hand in producing the movie, but supposedly it's described as being the movie that captures our collective crisis of 2020. And they released it for four hours on the Lincoln film center website. And now you can't watch it anywhere and they have no plans to like put it out until like may, but they're saying like, Oh yeah, this is going to be like a, you know, a killer movie for Oscars, blah, blah, blah, others buzz around it. I'm like what? From the five people that saw the movie there's Oscar buzz because of like the movie, like who works at Lincoln film center. It's buzz-worthy like,

Speaker 5: 6:40

Well, you know, that was a mistake, right? Like that it is a movie that's being released as from Searchlight pick, you know. Well, it used to be Fox Searchlight. Um, no it's coming out. I think in wide release in February, I have to believe that was a up on our, excuse me, a screw up on Lincoln's part because that will know this is like, this is already like been screened. This already has awards from like critic circles. This is a movie that's going to be released. So can we consider Musk screwed up royally somehow? Like, uh wasn't that years ago,

Speaker 1: 7:07

I never heard of, like, we released the movie for four hours.

Speaker 5: 7:11

That's happened with stuff before, but usually that's a mistake on somebody's part. Like they've uploaded the wrong file or, you know, something like that. Like that happened years ago with Spiderman three on Amazon

Speaker 3: 7:22

Wolverine.

Speaker 5: 7:24

Exactly. So this stuff happens all the time. Well, uh, remember what was it years ago where one of Ellen's team like leaked the copy of secret white life of Walter Mitty or something like this stuff happens all the time.

Speaker 3: 7:35

Oh yeah. Well, it's interesting that the Oscar has it. Oscar has a buzzer and it goes off. It would a movie it'd be off your buttons. Yeah. Oscar buzzer.

Speaker 1: 7:50

It's like mopping the floor and there's a red light and it just starts buzzing.

Speaker 5: 7:58

We're looking forward to this movie though. It's from a it's from, it's not directed by Francis McDorman, but it's like, uh, I think, uh, uh, Chinese director, she did a movie called, um, the ride. I think it was called the ride, but like they do, she does very human stories about like bull riders and stuff. Um, the last movie I saw, which I have to look up the name, um, yeah, based on that, I think it'll be good.

Speaker 1: 8:21

Well, I have two thoughts. You just mentioned bull riders, which is kind of a masculine thing. Tonight's movie is pretty masculine, classic, classically masculinity, um, or classic masculinity, sorry. And also if they made mistakes in tonight's movie, people probably would die. And like they even bring it up a point of how safe they need to be. Um, cause their lives are at stake to get these movies made. But tonight's movie is Cooper from 78. Sonny Hooper played by Burt. Reynolds is getting too banged up to remain Hollywood's top step man. But he signed coordinator for a big budget action movie with the pushy director, played by the comedian, Robert Klein and a clueless star played by Adam West as himself, which is really funny, uh, ready to retire from a physical abuse. Cooper is gearing up to make the film cinematic stunt, his biggest ever, but there's a cocky young stuntman named ski chin skiing played by none other than Jan Michael Vincent. And he's aiming to steal the glory with his more scientistic technology oriented start methods. Also what we started, of course, Sally field, uh, Brian, Keith, and actually Jim best in one of his better roles outside of like, I think he was in, um, gosh, what's that series with the brothers in the car? Um, Dukes of hazard. He was the guy in Dukes of hazard for a long time. Um, all right, let's go right into let's dive right in. Let's go to first depression, Nick,

Speaker 4: 9:38

I watched this movie and was like, I can't believe what they're doing here nowadays. A movie like this wouldn't be made in everything would be CGI or wire work, like watching a movie like this and the stunts. It just blew me away. Like, dude, wow. How the hell are they doing this? I mean, not now, how the hell are they doing this? Like, I can't believe they're doing this. That was my first impression. I'm just like, I can't believe the stunts in this movie and how ballsy men used to be. That's my first impression,

Speaker 1: 10:09

Dave, what are your, what's your first impression?

Speaker 5: 10:12

I kind of agree with Nick the stunts. I mean, this is what the movie is made for stunts. Having said that I wish they had a better story in between those stunts because that's all they seem to focus on in this movie, which was great. Like watch this movie, like for the 45 minutes of great stunts and action sequences and fast forward through the rest.

Speaker 4: 10:32

Totally agree.

Speaker 5: 10:35

That's my first impression like, Oh, get on with it.

Speaker 4: 10:39

Yeah. I just want to do, I want to see the stone so I agree. You got some personal preference. Yeah, I thought it, I mean, I thought it was a better than they're giving it credit for in the in-betweens. So I mean, a movie that could not be made today could not be done in

Speaker 5: 11:02

The last 15 minutes alone are worth it.

Speaker 4: 11:06

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 11:07

Okay. So my first impression is you're probably stronger than at least Nick and Nick and Dave, I wrote down, is it possible to enter puberty for a second time? Cause my balls dropped even further while watching this movie and too, um, it's kinda cool to celebrate, uh, a time when it was okay to have male genitalia attached to your anatomy without it being a problem. Or those were my first impressions of the smooth,

Speaker 4: 11:36

Well, male genitalia, puberty drop part of the film, but I'm willing to go along. Fair enough. Well, we'll be right back after these messages.

Speaker 1: 11:57

All right. We have an online offer and yes, it's a paid link. It's free for you. And we earn a little taste of sunshine when you sign up for seven days of free movies and TV from stars network.

So he's going to revisit all the Spiderman classics in all those friendly neighborhood adventures. Why don't you go ahead and take a look at scars free for seven days with our link.

Speaker 4: 12:42

Now back to the show. Now it's time for our favorite bits and it's going to be me first, Nikki lates. Um, my favorite Brit is actually I love Burt Burt Reynolds in the seventies besides the sense, okay. I already talked about the stunts, but I love Burt Reynolds in the seventies. Like I just, he was on like this cannon ball run thing and this is all along that same lines. And I also, I also really love the director. I forgot his name. Do you remember guy? I should've wrote it down. Yeah. I thought he did a great job too.

Speaker 1: 13:14

That was runs. That was his stunt man in a couple of movies and also their relationship with Burt Reynolds and how Needham is what they speculate that Quinton Chino based his movie on between uh, uh, Brad Pitt's character and um, Leo DiCaprio, his character and what's Hollywood

Speaker 4: 13:31

Totally makes sense. Yeah. They, their buddies, like they crashed on each other's couches for years. I kind of thing. Like there's a great documentary on the smokey and the bandit blue Ray about really? Yeah. You know, I've never really watched his movies and it makes after watching this, it makes me go like, Oh, you know, I probably need to dive into that world, but okay. Wash your pallet and watch the first smoking the bounded. That's actually really good. Okay. Okay. I saw it for the first time, like two years ago. Yeah. It just made me go. Like I know like this was around that time and it made me really want to watch that. Okay. Okay. Um, well, uh, I really liked when, uh, they get pulled over by the cop and uh, he puts the carabiner on his loop and then they drive off. Well, first of all, I didn't set that up very well. He's driving down backwards, down the road. Yeah. In the truck.

Speaker 1: 14:32

This is my house. STEM people apparently hang out with each other.

Speaker 4: 14:37

It's what you do. I believe that I hung out with a bunch of them one time and it was, they're pretty zany. Uh, so he's going down the road and he gets pulled over obviously. Cause the cops like, Oh my gosh, that's reckless or whatever.

Speaker 3: 14:52

And he gets the ticket and he puts the carabiner on his, uh, on his belt and then, uh, he drives off again and there's still, he's still driving backwards. Like it didn't change anything. I loved it. So immediately the cops like, Oh, I'm going to go get them now I'm going to tear them a new one. And he drives off and gets yanked off his bike. It's uh, it's not the only time they do something like that in the movie to, uh, uh, a little bit of the old yield policemen disrespect, which, um, can be a fan of in the film. Uh, he gets yanked. The other scene that I thought was really cool, which I think is corollary is, uh, the guy's trying to, you know, get, get after him. And then he turns the rocket, the rocket on and it smokes up the road and the guy can't see him. So obviously he starts to call it in and then he's just, ah, nevermind. Those are my two favorites.

Speaker 1: 15:55

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to talk over you. No, that's it. Throw it over to David. See what he thought was the favorite part of the movie.

Speaker 5: 16:02

Favorite bit that got the biggest laugh out of me was, um, the bar fight, but more specifically, uh, one specific, uh, part where I think it was Terry Bradshaw. He was, uh, Burt, Reynolds was going up and down. Like he punches him square in the mouth with everything he's

Speaker 1: 16:16

Got doesn't fall back,

Speaker 5: 16:19

Spits out or like puts out his tooth, just like, I don't know the ad great comic timing of like, you knew where it was going, but it still felt it still was a, you know, got a laugh out of me.

Speaker 3: 16:31

Um, that was a great scene. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 16:37

Um, I guess like what,

Speaker 3: 16:39

I just can't believe Terry Bradshaw was in his so many amazing cameos in this movie, Sally field, right? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5: 16:47

Yeah. Like her in Berlin,

Speaker 3: 16:50

Sally field is so hot.

Speaker 1: 16:54

That scene is more famous for her trying to keep, continue to eat her steak and potatoes as a gag while they're fighting around her. And she keeps moving her plate to avoid the fight. Like all the trade papers were talking about that scene. When it first came out, like there was a Hollywood reporter article and stuff like that. We're talking about all the gags in the bar fight sequence, but that was a standout, I would think the jukebox with the hell with a football helmet would have been a standout. And, uh, Dave, you're talking about Terry Bradshaw in the fight. Like he smashes the football helmet with the Palm of his fist and he breaks it. Yeah. Which at the time, I guess helmets were a lot softer, but still it's still pretty impressive stunts. Oh wait. So we arrived at my,

Speaker 3: 17:39

Oh, I think so. But what did you like Joan? Um, wow. I, again,

Speaker 1: 17:50

Maybe this goes

Speaker 3: 17:50

Out to spoilers. I'm like, what? Just joking.

Speaker 1: 17:58

I like the tone and atmosphere that made me like I'm okay with Dave mentioned earlier, like how he felt like there was too much time in improving the plot elements. I thought it was kind of cool that like we didn't fall out of Western. This movie we've followed his stuntman. Right. So we found out like the day-to-day and what the set man does. And then I was okay with like him just shooting the with his stunt friends while they were setting up the scenarios. And the only thing that stands out in my mind he's interested in is like, when they flipped the, the chariot in the horse race, it didn't look like they injured the horses. Thank God. But it looked like they really screwed up the stunt man in the hole and the, and then Sherry, you know, uh, another thing that I thought was cool is they mentioned the name of the stuntman who actually won the record for this movie for the 325 foot car jump. That was real, they mentioned his myth in the scene where he's talking about who can do the jump and they're like, Hooper, are you the only, only guy alive that can do this? He's like, well, it's me and two other guys. And he mentioned somebody named buddy Joe, somebody, um, I forget his name, but he's the guy that actually was filmed in this movie doing the jump in the car. So like they really rocket, they really propelled this thing with nitris, if you want to like trim some fat room, this movie though, the thing I don't like is the scene where they, the director gets like excited by the younger step man's ideas. And they decided to go to a night shoot outside of the church and they do the Firestone. Right? Like that seems like wasted material.

Speaker 3: 19:25

Yeah. That was, that killed the momentum,

Speaker 1: 19:30

That broken momentum, the money

Speaker 3: 19:34

Part.

Speaker 1: 19:34

Yeah. Um, I like the whole thing. And like Nicole was talking about soundtracks. I thought it sounded good in the beginning. They mixed like Matador stuff. You know? Like, I mean, I think, I think we've already mentioned the term bullfighter, but they actually mixed like the air mariachi type music in the beginning. You know, when he's pouring Jack Daniels into his coffee to start his day sets the tone. Um, so now we've arrived at this segment. We'd like to call, uh, the only rating system you're ever going to need is a movie fan. Um, it's the binge now binge later bins never. It's really kind of like what balances the scales. We're just movie fans, I think. Or maybe that maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself with my ego, but we came up with a really cool, I think it's cool to binge watch a reader system. Um, Nick, why don't you kick us off with binge now? Ventilator bench. Never.

Speaker 3: 20:27

All right. I would binge now once upon a time in Hollywood and I know you guys probably don't like that as much, but I liked that better and I would have been much better to this later. And then I'd binge never Caddyshack too. All right.

Speaker 1: 20:52

Well, that's, that's funny. It's not even about Scott, that they're movies, just like

Speaker 3: 21:00

There was a stomach Caddyshack too. That was really bad.

Speaker 1: 21:06

Great. This movie. All right. I'll keep this, uh, Burt Reynolds centric. Um, I will say binge now. Um, I will say, you know, it's, I could say boogie nights, but I'm going to go ahead and say a movie like this, go ahead and smokey. And the bandit, I watched it for the first time. A couple of years ago. It actually holds up. I say binge now, classic, uh, Hooper. Yeah. Binge later. Not bad, but uh, you can wait a little bit and binge never, um, cop and a half.

Speaker 3: 21:31

Oh hell no, no.

Speaker 1: 21:42

Adam bins now bins later bins never.

Speaker 3: 21:44

I think a Hooper's worth of binge now. I mean, if you want to watch a real movie and not once upon a time in Hollywood, you want to watch Uber. Wow. They actually, okay. Real imposs, simple to do today. You never going to see anything like this ever made ever again. Hold on. You want to just look, can you wait until I get through my binge nevers? Because you know, you might want to binge once upon a time in Hollywood, like way later, like when you, when you got nothing else to do, because there's, you know, you watched all the other Katerra Tino movies and you're like, what else did he make? And you can get to that one, but actually have two bench nevers. And they're the two wonder woman movies. So I've never seen either. So I don't know. I mean, either I just can't, I couldn't, I couldn't do it. I tried, I was like, this is terrible. Why am I wasting my time? There's stuff I want to watch.

Speaker 1: 22:48

So you're basing your binge, never on something you haven't binged ever.

Speaker 3: 22:53

Yeah, I couldn't, I couldn't watch it. I tried to binge it. I tried to watch, Oh, you actually, but you stopped like 20 minutes in or something. I had to, I stopped twice on the new one. That's why I don't believe the stat bunch of people are getting HBO max

Speaker 1: 23:19

And you know, wonder woman is completely different than that. Um, it's 50, 50 down. I mean, from what I've noticed, people love it or hate it.

Speaker 3: 23:27

I've noticed that. Sure. It's

Speaker 1: 23:28

A hard split down the middle, but that's just the character. That's how it's going to go.

Speaker 3: 23:32

Well, I think it's preposterous anyway. The wonder woman, character or the movie, just everything they did. It's just like, they could have watched it. They wanted, it's just everything it's like, okay, look, just tell me it's an animated 3d movie and they'll appreciate it for what it is.

Speaker 1: 23:54

Holy crap. I'm like, Oh gosh. It's like, we almost need an episode just to do wonder woman like it. You can't unwrap like the whole franchise and I'm like 20 minutes.

Speaker 3: 24:10

If you want to do a full episode on wonder woman,

Speaker 1: 24:13

I will commend you for having a strong opinion and I will commend you for that's a very strong binge, never. So, you know, good job with the binge now, binge later binge never. Um, listen, I really liked this movie. So, and I like that. It it's, it's a time capsule for, you know, cinema in the seventies. If you want to know what the extra thinking with, how they behaved the types of movies they were making. And also she had, if you're a distance, this is your, this is your playbook. So this is a binge now for me. Um, uh, we're talking about Hooper. Yeah. Talking about Hooper.

Speaker 3: 24:50

Um, I feel

Speaker 1: 24:51

Like if you want to see the sequel, you got to go watch Terentino's movie. But obviously I, after watching Hooper, I can tell you that Tarantino has seen this movie probably 10, 10 to 15 times more. I'm gonna say Ben's never in the movie that they showed during his, um, stunt reel. I don't know if you guys noticed this. They showed a clip from deliverance, which also has Burt Reynolds. To me. That's a. Never it's way overrated.

Speaker 3: 25:20

Okay.

Speaker 5: 25:20

I will agree with you that it's overrated, but I do think it's a genuinely good movie.

Speaker 1: 25:26

Well, you're alone in that, at least from where I'm sitting, I don't need to watch deliverance. Okay. So that, that's my, those are my movie ratings for tonight. Um, let's see,[inaudible] going to give it right back to me. It's going to be like, karma is not going to agree to watch what I have for this week. So our, our, our fun segment that we've arrived at now is, um, what should I watch this week? Why should I watch it? And does anybody actually want to watch this based on our comments, this evolved from our, what else has it been to watch was watching this week? Blood personally, not scheduled for the show, not reviewing for the show. Just things that we're casually watching, but we want to share with the audience, but now it's this, um, this whole segment we've dedicated to it. So what should I watch? What did you watch, Dave? God,

Speaker 5: 26:20

This, this, ah, this was hard this week. Cause I actually had a lot of time to watch a lot of good movies. So this was a tough call. Um, but I'm going to go with uncle Frank. Um, this is a new drama on net. I'm not Netflix, Amazon starting Paul Bettany who most people probably know his vision on the, I've never seen him in those movies. But, um, so it's, it's a road trip movie about, uh, in the, about a young girl who, uh, like always thought her uncle was a little different only to find out he's gay. Uh, and they have to take a road trip back for his father's funeral. Um, it's full of like great character actor. Steve's on Martin, Margo Dale, uh, uh, Judy Greer, Stephen root. Um, it's just one of those. The closest thing I can compare to might be August Osage County because it takes place in the South. But, um, I dunno, it's just, uh, there's a moment in there between Steve is on and, uh, Paul Bettany

Speaker 1: 27:16

Wait, are you answering the second question? Oh,

Speaker 5: 27:20

Okay. Fine. We'll move on to, why should you watch it? Um, I, if you want to take a break from like our usual fare of like horror movies action, if you just want to watch a good well-written drama with great character actors, and if you need to purge and maybe have a moment to cry, uh it's it's one of those movies. I mean, it had, it had some of the most real Mo this might've made the top of my list. Have I seen it right in 2020? It just missed the Mark. Um, I don't know. It has real, you know, it's, it's a movie that, uh, it just has real moments. Um, and everything is earned. It doesn't feel small T um, has laughs. I don't know. It's just a well-rounded drama.

Speaker 1: 27:58

Um, does anybody want to watch it Nick?

Speaker 4: 28:02

Not yet. I'm not. So I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure it's good. You didn't tell me on it. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1: 28:13

And basic you are Nick. Nick you're so like you're so like you're, you're the guy, like, we shouldn't let you as the mayor of movie town, because like you're down in the middle, both sides of the aisle. You're like, you can just say outright. No, you didn't say yes or no. You said, Hey, not yet. Like

Speaker 4: 28:29

See the movie. It's hilarious. Yeah. But, but, but, but, but what I did love that Dave used the word small Etsy. I did like

Speaker 3: 28:37

That. I was going to mention small.

Speaker 4: 28:40

I was like, dude, that was really good that you mentioned small T I was very impressed.

Speaker 3: 28:45

It's the small C meter

Speaker 5: 28:48

Chosen something else, like a horror movie that I watched this week. I went for the drama.

Speaker 4: 28:54

You went from the drought. Do you want to watch it?

Speaker 3: 28:58

You know, after seeing like eight ads for this movie in a row, I've already seen this movie.

Speaker 5: 29:05

No, I can guarantee you haven't dude. And I don't want to watch it again.

Speaker 1: 29:10

You're turned off by advertising.

Speaker 3: 29:12

Yeah. They bombarded the movie's market. At least three different houses. I've been at over the holidays. Non-stop ads for this movie. It may be maybe it's my life

Speaker 5: 29:23

Watching cable or cable TV that I hadn't seen any ads for this. I just heard it talked about,

Speaker 4: 29:29

I don't have cable TV either. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 29:31

I thought it just plays on prime like before your movie starts.

Speaker 3: 29:34

Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. It's just crime is like, no, you're prepaying for this. So you don't have to have a commercial. We're going to show you a commercial anyway, because really when you watch this thing, I'm just like, I'm just like a hard, no, like I don't, I don't want to watch this. I've seen the ad several times. So you're saying

Speaker 5: 29:54

No, based on an ad. Not on my,

Speaker 1: 29:56

Okay. No,

Speaker 5: 29:58

No, no.

Speaker 3: 30:00

Well, you know, you'd have to overcome no. Based upon your review. The note is based on not yet. Not yet. Okay. That was a no, I'm sorry. Yeah, you're right. Not yet. Is it starts with

Speaker 1: 30:14

No, Dave gets lucky because I already wanted to watch it because of, uh, Paul Bettany right. He's needy. He deserves an Oscar and at least a nomination, although sound of metal. They needed to like come up with their own. I think like the, the on-demand stuff to have its own award system, because it just doesn't make sense. Like the way they stream things and the way people find movies. It's not the same. I totally agree.

Speaker 5: 30:40

The non-existence of movie theaters here pretty soon. That's all you got. So yeah.

Speaker 3: 30:44

It's fair game. A weird world. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 30:47

So I guess you get one point because I was already going to watch it, but it's going to probably take me like another year to watch it. Cause it's going to be, it's not a point, but I'm not going to watch it anytime soon. So

Speaker 3: 30:57

Well that doesn't qualify as a point. Like, you know,

Speaker 1: 31:01

No boy, but the question is not soon, that's a point let's get half a point each. Yeah.

Speaker 3: 31:09

So you're saying that Dave inspired you to watch it in a year. Okay. But Hey, we never put a timeline on it yet.

Speaker 1: 31:19

Will you watch it? Ha ha. Yeah. Eventually.

Speaker 3: 31:21

Yeah. But Dave, didn't convince you already wanted to watch this. So now the question you have to ask yourself is, did Dave's words convince you? Oh, I have to watch this in a year.

Speaker 1: 31:32

No, he didn't. He didn't. I was already biased. I was already going to watch it. Okay.

Speaker 3: 31:38

Okay. Well that has to be, is your son

Speaker 5: 31:41

Convinced me to watch willful snow hollow this week? So Hey that's

Speaker 1: 31:44

Yeah, we push each other sometimes. Yeah. Well I want to watch that one. Do you guys should it's on our playlist for this year anyway, but yeah, you guys should watch it. Um, it's not what I'm talking about, but yeah, watching, um, you've influenced each other over this, this game.

Speaker 3: 32:06

Is that one point or is that one and a half

Speaker 1: 32:08

The points for Dave? He earned a point, but then Adam argued like a true, like, uh, um, what do they call like a lawyer. He was like, Hey, Hey, you were already going to watch it. Dave did not convince you.

Speaker 3: 32:21

I think the first one,

Speaker 5: 32:23

Well, I already want it. So he convinced me to watch it. Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 1: 32:32

I think it is ever a point, but Adam animated, strong argument. So

Speaker 3: 32:35

How about half a point? Like I one and a half points.

Speaker 1: 32:40

Cause Nick, I got a Nick. I got a no. Okay. Look not yet. Not yet. He said not yet. And I said not soon enough. So that's one point if you add half a point together, but again, we never supplied time to it. So if we, if you convince you to watch it, even in six months, that's

Speaker 3: 33:00

Well, not yet is just know with the T and a yet.

Speaker 1: 33:05

That's true. Like we can fill 45 minutes up with just this segment right here. Dave gets a point. Dave gets, I get one half points. You're not getting an extra half a point. So he gets appointed. I just keep adding the extra half. We're going to take the whole point away, have a thought. Okay. So Dave, Adam, what did you,

Speaker 3: 33:35

Okay. So some of you may have already seen this. I'm kind of worried about it. Like I hope you haven't so I could sell you on seeing it. But my friends are telling me, you know, we need to watch this movie called snowed in. And I thought, what does that mean? Was that like a bunch of people there, you know, out in the wilderness and then there's snow on the ground and then they starve and then they have to fight each other or something. I don't know, like the thing or something, but ended up being, uh, snowed in and I was hearing it wrong. And of course I know about Snowden. And uh, so the, you know, if you haven't heard about it, it's just a movie about, you know, NSA contractor, Edward Snowden, and the revelations that he had in his personal life.

Speaker 1: 34:22

Hey Snowden. I can just going to scrub the word NSA right out of this episode.

Speaker 3: 34:27

Are they, am I not allowed

Speaker 1: 34:30

To say I'm just joking?

Speaker 3: 34:32

Oh, well it's probably true. I mean, look, he's persona non grata even now. I mean, in the credits of the movie, the guys, like they, they said like, he's never coming home. He's he's gonna die in Russia. Oh my gosh. But anyway, so, you know, he goes to the misgivings, you find out a bunch of stuff about what the us government's doing and you know, Oliver stone, uh, directed it. And he he's brought us some really interesting tale before. Why should we watch it? It's a compelling story based on true events that it's so close to the actual events in time that the people are still alive and you can go verify and watch all the, some of the scenes in the movie you can go watch and other things cause portray us or whatever the Lauren portrays and the documentary film maker. I think that's her in the movie. I'm not sure, but she actually shot, uh, footage of, uh, Snowden when he first was revealing the information to them in Hong Kong. It's just, it's just so interesting when you start putting the pieces of the puzzle together of what Snowden did and, and way he UN unrolled it to the world. Like he unveiled it in a way so that he wouldn't get, so they wouldn't be, they wouldn't be able to just write them off and say, he wasn't what he was.

Speaker 1: 35:58

Well, you should have told us was, Hey, it's a movie about a dude that found out the government was spying on the American people. And then he ran it out the government at the, at the cost of his own freedom.

Speaker 3: 36:08

If my name was Johnny spoiler, that is exactly how

Speaker 1: 36:15

Does anybody want to watch it, Nick? Yeah,

Speaker 4: 36:18

Actually, do you want to watch this one? I just haven't had time. I do.

Speaker 1: 36:22

Well, the argument of Adam based on what Adam told you about the movie or you

Speaker 4: 36:28

Fascinated by the guy and then he was revealing stuff. And I do think Adam like brought up points. He didn't get to the message quick enough, but he did bring up points that made me go like, Oh, that's really interesting that you can watch a scene and then watch like the interview or the person later of how it

Speaker 1: 36:44

Happened.

Speaker 4: 36:47

You got my point.

Speaker 1: 36:52

He already had, but he already said he planned on watching it. So I was going to say, D do we award for being really excited about it? He reminded Nick to watch it. So how many points is that true?

Speaker 4: 37:05

I have, I don't know. I guess it's okay. Okay. Gotcha,

Speaker 1: 37:11

Dave. Okay.

Speaker 3: 37:12

Yeah, it should count for zero points though. I'm just going to throw that out there.

Speaker 1: 37:20

Figure out the rules is game. Do you want to watch it? I, yeah,

Speaker 4: 37:24

This has been in my queue for a while, but based on Adams, I I'm not, I'm not even being a Dick. I'm going to say no. Uh, I mean, Oliver stone. Hasn't made a really good movie in a long time and there's already a documentary in real time. Citizen four. That's probably much more compelling.

Speaker 3: 37:44

Oh my gosh. This is like[inaudible], who's playing Snowden.

Speaker 1: 37:52

Oh, you should have mentioned that. It's just a Gordon. Love it. Yeah. Um, Oh, brings it up to me. Do I want to watch it? No. Okay. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3: 38:07

And maybe is custom tailored for a Johnny spoiler. All it is is a spoiler movie.

Speaker 1: 38:14

Is this move moving along?

Speaker 3: 38:20

Whatever John says, no, I don't want to watch it.

Speaker 1: 38:24

We haven't gotten there yet. It's Nick stern. Hey, there's a card game called cards against humanity or something like we've covered like a version of that somehow. Like that's what this is like.

Speaker 4: 38:38

All right. What did you watch, Nick? You guys are going into so many dramas. I just wanted to laugh and have a good time with my two favorite men. Charlie sheen and Emilio West of is from the 1990 classic men at work. You got Dean Cameron in it and they they're trash men wanting to do better and then ended up getting into trouble and then ended up going in the hi-jinks. Charlie sheen gets a girl. I mean, it's fun. you. That's good.

Speaker 5: 39:09

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Why should we watch it, Nick?

Speaker 4: 39:14

Because you got Charlie. She named me last of his. I just sold it to you. Did you not listen to my pitch?

Speaker 5: 39:21

No. It that you guys jumped ahead to the second question before it's asked what we should dock points for that. Actually

Speaker 4: 39:27

We gotta, we gotta really define the rules of the game, but honestly, die. Get a roll of the die because you got Charlie sheen and Emilia Western is in the nineties. You got a great soundtrack and you got Dean Cameron as a pizza man. You can't go wrong.

Speaker 5: 39:49

So you mean Charlie sheen and Emilio estimates when they were born.

Speaker 4: 39:54

When they, when, when they were like on top of the world, you know, they were still really cool guy. You know? Not that they're not cool now, but you know what I mean? Like pre pre AIDS. Wow.

Speaker 5: 40:10

Okay. Which brings us to anybody. Want to watch it? Starting with that?

Speaker 4: 40:15

I'm in, I mean, he told me it was going to be a field that experience its height of these comedic actors, careers. Let's do it.

Speaker 5: 40:26

That's like without a doubt, Dave, you want to watch it, see, see, this is where we have to figure out how this works, because I've seen this movie many times in fact, like months ago.

Speaker 4: 40:36

So it's good. And

Speaker 5: 40:38

I know it's good, but like, I'm not convinced to watch it again. After a couple of months or movie there's you have the right to bring up a popular movie. It's just absolutely

Speaker 4: 40:50

See something I've already seen. Okay. The, okay. That's not the question you have to ask yourself. If you hadn't watched it a couple of months ago, would you? Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5: 41:03

This is a tough cause. Like how do I raise something I've lived with for like 30 years? I used to watch this on Showtime all the time. Like the movie. What your gut reaction tell you about the mood?

Speaker 4: 41:12

Well, let's say you never saw it and you're like Charlie sheen immediately. The rest of his 1990 Dean Cameron, you know, you'd be like, that sounds good. Right? Yeah know. That's true. That's true.

Speaker 5: 41:24

And um, I'm going to say I'll maybe watch it again soon. I'm going to give you half a point. Oh my gosh. If you had mentioned Keith David, I pushed me

Speaker 3: 41:34

Over son of a. You're right. I would have that. Would I should have done that,

Speaker 1: 41:40

Of course. I'm going to watch it. That's why I was so upset when Nick brought it up because I just knew he was going to get,

Speaker 3: 41:45

So Nick is in the lead two and a half points guys.

Speaker 5: 41:50

So wait, so that's just mean like we could just mention like, Hey, I watched a really great obscure movie. Did this week. Hope fiction. Have you guys heard of it?

Speaker 1: 41:58

No, because I wouldn't want to watch it based on what you just said.

Speaker 3: 42:01

Yeah. Johnny spoiler pick the same movie and he's stalling right now to pick something else. Am I right?

Speaker 1: 42:10

No. I already have the movie because it was HBO was showing a marathon of all the aliens. So I watched,

Speaker 5: 42:17

Oh,

Speaker 1: 42:19

Who's going to question me. I don't know. Who's going to ask the questions,

Speaker 5: 42:23

But we need to hear it.

Speaker 3: 42:24

What movie? What movie you got for his job?

Speaker 1: 42:28

One or the other? Either Dave or Adam, but not both. Who's asking three questions.

Speaker 3: 42:33

Mr. Spoiler, go, go. What? You didn't ask me a question. What? What's the, what's your movie selection? Which one?

Speaker 5: 42:46

Oh, why should you watch it?

Speaker 3: 42:48

It's one of the top 25.

Speaker 5: 42:55

Yeah. That's all. That's it.

Speaker 3: 42:58

That's that's it? That was so dry. No point for you. I'm not going to lie. No, I have to pretend. I'm not seeing it. I thought that was the game too. I don't even want to watch it. I know it's. I mean, I've seen it. I love it. I don't even want to watch it. After that pitch, it made me, it took all that steam away.

Speaker 1: 43:18

That's right. I won the game last time. I'm not going to be mad that you guys don't

Speaker 3: 43:21

Well, Jack just gave up game over man. Game over.

Speaker 1: 43:30

You guys are butthurt from the last three rounds. You're a little sore. I'm saying it's in the top 20. You go. I got to prove that it's in the top 20. I'm going to go watch it and see if it's really tough. When you come back and tell the guy, whether I think it's in the top 20 or not

Speaker 3: 43:46

Top 20 list, are you referring to, but I wouldn't watch it basically. I wouldn't watch it. Based upon that

Speaker 1: 43:56

I got the same data. Hey, I got the same data as Warner brothers and HBO max all times.

Speaker 3: 44:02

Yeah. Baby wonder woman. Best fantasy all the time.

Speaker 1: 44:08

Zero points. But, uh, it was a hell of a fun game.

Speaker 5: 44:13

[inaudible] I would have said, you know, you get to see like a bit of a Sigourney Weaver's crack just a little bit. It's sold.

Speaker 3: 44:21

You could just see Sigourney Weaver, inner undies.

Speaker 1: 44:26

This episodes get a little bit long, long in the tooth. Uh, let's see. Uh, yeah, you won this Nick one today. He won this time. Nick, next time. Well, actually what's gonna happen is we're not gonna let you win next time just because it's what's he gonna do? We're gonna rig the house just like how they do in the regular government. Okay. Um, let's see. Uh, so questions from out there, there's a Facebook comment responding to like we posted about our feel-good movies and somebody wrote back about, Hey, cover these movies. And then he went on a diatribe about, um, it's a long list, Willy Wonka invasion of the body, snatchers, meatballs, Cheech, and Chong. We exercise Josh deliverance. The Jurich one flew over the Cuckoo's nest. A lot to work with from the seventies. Um, they wrote back to him saying, yeah, certainly movies are cool. I think that was your comment, Dave. But my point is we'll knock out these movies right now and then we'll explain why we won't do entire podcast about some of these, uh, selections. It doesn't make sense. And some do Willy Wonka with gene Wilder as a great movie. Um, it's a little dark. I don't think it's a kid's movie, even though they'd been selling it on the shelves for like 40 years as a kids movie. But I could see it being like a, a weird episode about that one eventually when we haven't gotten to it yet. I don't know when it's, when we'll get to it. Um, eventually the body snatchers, I think the Donald Sutherland letter D Moore one is a remake. There might've been one version, but

Speaker 5: 45:53

There's one from the fifties. This is the first remake, um,

Speaker 4: 45:58

Which is a great movie by the way. It's a legit good remake. It's amazing.

Speaker 1: 46:04

The first big balls that has bill Murray as a camp counselor. And then after that, this series rears often like SQL hell and then

Speaker 4: 46:11

Corey Feldman in part four.

Speaker 1: 46:14

Yeah. He's in one of them as well. Um, we do a whole episode about me most probably not, but if we did a bill Murray retrospective, we would probably mention meatballs, but I don't think I don't personally want to spend 45 minutes talking about meatballs.

Speaker 5: 46:28

Watch number three, where a dead porn star helps a kid loses virginity. I used to watch it on cable all the time.

Speaker 4: 46:34

Oh my gosh. Is that for real? For real? That's the plot of meat balls three. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1: 46:40

Wow. That sounds like something we'd review a dead porn star helps the kid loses virginity. That sounds like something that would fit into our show demographic. Um, deliberate. I don't know. We don't watch a lot of getting high movies, stoned movies. I don't know if maybe bingeing goes with smoking pot and eating a bunch of snacks and watching Cheech and Chong, but uh,

Speaker 5: 47:02

Four 20 special with that or, I mean, I actually really enjoy the Cheech and Chong movies. They're a guilty pleasure.

Speaker 4: 47:07

There's weed Watchers where we all get high. I like it,

Speaker 1: 47:14

Uh, this claim or not that we endorse the use of merit, blah, blah, blah, whatever you have to say, Anna disclaimer. Uh, let's see. Um, again, this one was probably played out. It was, um, a genre breaking a genre, establishing horror movie, but it's been done to death documentaries. It's like a new one on shuttered just about it. Yeah. Um, and, and I'm sure if you could probably pull the thousand podcasts that have talked about exorcism, it's probably more likely that we'll cover exercise three, right? Something like that. Then just the first exercise. Oh, we would more likely talk about the what's that comedy version with Leslie Nielsen.

Speaker 4: 47:55

I would rather watch that. I would love to rewatch it. I'm down for that.

Speaker 1: 48:02

And I've already said I don't like deliverance, so I'm never going to pitch that we, that we take that down. Um, and jaws, everybody talked to every single podcast in the world is talking about jobs at some point. So it again, no reason to dedicate an episode did jaws. It would be funny to talk about Josh for, um, we had previously we joked like years ago about like jaws going to space. We thought that was funny. Um, that's a great, great movie with Steve Martin. Um, but again, that'd be like, if we're talking about all Steve Martin's movies, then yeah. You bring up the jerk and if you're talking about great comedies of all time, then yeah. You bring up the jerk. But once the jerk, Oh, well I'm actually, I like pretty much like all these movies, but one flew over the Cuckoo's nest with either do like, um, I think we'll eventually get to that movie. That's what that sounds like my all timers list again, you know,

Speaker 5: 48:55

That movie holds a special place for me. I actually performed a stage version.

Speaker 1: 48:59

Oh, they're going to say because of your time you spent in the mental institution.

Speaker 5: 49:03

Well, that was for research.

Speaker 1: 49:06

He gets method guys before and after the completion of the play. Wait, who did you play? Where you martini? Um,

Speaker 5: 49:13

I was Cheswick the guy that's like, I want

Speaker 1: 49:15

My cigarettes. I want mine, even though he's the cigarette guy. That's funny. Did you have a mustache?

Speaker 5: 49:21

Uh, no. I think I was still rocking the full beard at that point. Just kept that.

Speaker 1: 49:27

Um, anyway, so that's a whole list of like mostly 70 stuff that yeah. Everybody should watch. But again, I don't think this is the podcast for some of these movies. Well, some of them

Speaker 5: 49:37

Like the Exorcist is good. A movie is that is, I mean, like what more, like you said, what more can be said.

Speaker 4: 49:44

Yeah.

Speaker 5: 49:44

I mean, there's been essays. There's been documentaries about those movies. I mean, you know, like the jerk I could see or invasion of the body snatchers I could see cases for. But like some of these are just so popular. That what more do you say?

Speaker 4: 49:56

Like blood diners, one that we never like isn't talked about. So it's almost like, Hey, we're trying to like show the world that I kind of feel like, yeah.

Speaker 1: 50:05

You know what? We're like the authority on that movie anx, like nobody's talking about that movie.

Speaker 4: 50:09

Yeah, exactly. I wish we weren't talking about that movie. What I said, I wish we weren't talking about that movie. Why? I don't like it.

Speaker 1: 50:22

You didn't like it.

Speaker 4: 50:24

I thought you loved it. No, I love it. I was talking about blood

Speaker 3: 50:28

Diner.

Speaker 1: 50:31

We move on to that. Our episodes, like we were talking about how we're not going to cover this because everybody's covered it. But then Nick was suggesting that we might be more remembered for having covered a movie like blood diner, which is true. Cause let's talk about it. And then I, we chimed in with, we're going to be recognized for being an authority on anx because nobody has really covered that movie. So w it's going to live on Google, which is kind of fun to stumble across a movie like that and have something to say about it.

Speaker 4: 51:00

Those are my favorite ones to do are ones that we hadn't heard of or came, like you mentioned, I had happened to seen anx before, but their samurai was the one that I never heard of. So those are, those are my favorites. So like, what the hell is this? Oh, this is good.

Speaker 1: 51:14

I keep adjusting this year's list. And there's a couple hidden gems on there, but, and some super popular, but I'm trying to make a good balance. And other things is like, I don't know what this year is going to be like, this is like our new season. We're in a new year. I don't know what the show's going to be like in six months. So I I'm just writing things down that maybe we'll get to, but we don't know the longevity either, but we've been here, dude. This is like year number eight. We're going into the eighth year. It's crazy.

Speaker 4: 51:41

And there's still thousands of movies to review. Now. We haven't seen all the movies yet,

Speaker 1: 51:48

But now we're just kind of, we're kind of just chit chatting, but is there anything else that we didn't bring up that we have to bring up?

Speaker 4: 51:56

Meatballs three looks amazing. I really never knew this movie existed. I've just Googled it. And Dave you're right. That looks crazy. It has. I forget the mass movie. I think

Speaker 1: 52:09

So. You're saying if Dave had used meatballs three as his, what should you watch?

Speaker 4: 52:12

I would have been sold. I would have been packed to watch. We can pitch it mastery. That's right. Patrick Dempsey. Isn't it. I'm like, I, I, I couldn't believe what I'm looking at. I can't tell you how many times I've watched that as a kid. What? I shouldn't have

Speaker 1: 52:32

Adam, do we miss anything? I don't think so.

Speaker 3: 52:37

There is something you crossed out at the beginning that I don't think we're going to do that.

Speaker 1: 52:42

Um, well now, now you made it awkward because I said, if you want to bring up and you're bringing up a segment that we decided to veto from there, it's like, wait a minute. What did they not want to talk about? So then therefore you opened the floor to then talk about,

Speaker 3: 52:58

Yeah, it's called like Nick's final statement.

Speaker 1: 53:02

Wow. Um,

Speaker 4: 53:05

I would love to talk about one thing and I know we started talking. I would love to talk about lethal weapon, five guys. Can we talk about that quick skip over that we did and I would love to talk about it. Um, so supposedly Richard Donner, who's 90 years old wants to do lethal weapon five. And you got Danny Glover. Who's really old now. And Mel Gibson who's, you know, probably can still do stuff. But what do you guys think? Do you guys think, how do you guys think this movie would even work now with how old they are? Yes.

Speaker 5: 53:34

I made sure I could see it being, I mean, they're going to work around it somehow.

Speaker 1: 53:40

Well, listen, blaze of glory moment. I hope. I mean, I hope it is my sound morbid, but I hope the characters die. I hope this is it. If it really is the final lethal weapon, most of the people that are ever going to be this is it, you know?

Speaker 4: 53:56

Yeah. Cause I mean, even in 1998, they were both, they both had to team up to take on jet li. Right. And they were getting their whipped and they were like too old for the crab then like just, I, I don't know how and with Richard Donner B 90, I don't know what like, and he hasn't made a movie in a while. I don't know what, how good he'll be. Do you know what I mean? Well, he's other prediction make this movie, you have a predictable, my prediction is that somewhere in the movie, they will say, I'm getting too old for this. Well, of course they'll say, uh, but I think Mel Gibson's character might also say at this time,

Speaker 5: 54:38

If it's a Hotep type thing where they're in a nursing home fighting the bad guy,

Speaker 4: 54:43

I can see that. I could see that. Like maybe there's another like, uh, that could work. I mean, I mean, I don't want to direct what you know, right. Yeah. I guess so. Since tyranny,

Speaker 5: 54:55

I don't know. I mean, uh, you know that they have enough talent between all of them. I could see them putting something,

Speaker 1: 55:01

Gary BC's character alive in the first one. Then they give him a mercy and they let him off the hook at the end of their renewal. I

Speaker 4: 55:08

Have not seen it in five years. I totally forgot that

Speaker 1: 55:10

Real bold move to bring back Gary VC's character and he's back for a wrench or a reason to have to explain what the lethal weapon is and this one, cause that was what Riggs is the lethal weapon. Yeah.

Speaker 4: 55:24

Yeah. Like Jeff Daniels should be in it.

Speaker 5: 55:30

No, I don't know if they would, uh, I don't know. I, I just also seems like right now with the way the world is making movies about positive cops and crazy cops. We'll see. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 55:43

Yeah. That's, what's great. It's really hard to cover a cop when we, these days, because you don't know where to go because there's not a lot of positive spin for the boys in blue right now. You're you're right.

Speaker 5: 55:55

I mean, Atlanta, they're also old. I mean, maybe it'll become a courtroom drama about rigs or murder

Speaker 4: 56:01

Movies. Movies are always where the cops, um, are shown to be, you know, oftentimes better than that.

Speaker 1: 56:11

There is, there was a time when cops were kind of a joke in all the movies like police, if you go back and look at police Academy, right. And they have cars, they weren't all was like pro military police forces with fancy super cars and grenade launches at the end of the rifles. Like, do you remember the cops in the last house on the left? Their car was breaking down and it was like a sheriff.

Speaker 4: 56:36

It's almost comical. It was, it was, it was absolutely comical. Yeah. Didn't they have like weird music.

Speaker 1: 56:43

That was, that was, that's not the move we're talking about, but God that we could do a whole episode on that and how,

Speaker 4: 56:50

Yeah. Well, I, I got the plot line at lethal weapon five. Uh, they both transitioned to internal affairs and they're taking down the cops and then the cops want to kill them. Yeah. I can get that. And then, but then they, you know, now that they're old, like every movie nowadays you have to transition to lethal weapon six, right? So they have to hire the young cops that are going to join their side to help them. Right. Like they didn't book bad boys for life, but I also think we need Michael Kane in it as well.

Speaker 1: 57:29

Michael cane. Then he should play his character from dress to kill.

Speaker 4: 57:34

Oh God, I've never seen it.

Speaker 1: 57:36

I just want to see him as the disgruntled, a Lieutenant or whatever. You look at Michael Kamen, what are you doing in America? We should have an animated cat partner in this one as well. Hey Nick, what are we doing next week?

Speaker 4: 57:53

Well, next week we are watching alien nation guys, which[inaudible] and actually kind of like actually almost fits with today's modern world. Actually. It's kind of crazy timely, but guys, we're looking forward to this one. I love this movie. I can't wait. I've never seen, we're going to be drinking expired milk for this one. Wow. Oh, you're right.

Speaker 1: 58:15

Yes. So I guess I'm the only one that's a first time watch. Alright.

Speaker 4: 58:19

I think so. Right.

Speaker 1: 58:22

Let me tell you the ending real quick.

Speaker 4: 58:27

And then we're going to cover the debt, the series on Fox alienation. That was out of 1990. Are we doing that too? No. Okay.

Speaker 1: 58:37

Wait, is it, whereas it's not the structure of the episode now?

Speaker 4: 58:41

No, I have no idea. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 58:47

Actually I saw it. It's on the alienation movie was on stars forever in a day, but then the licensing switched to Amazon prime. So that's where it is now. Oh, okay. It's there now. Yeah. Oh. So if you're looking for the movie with James Caan and Mandy Patinkin, you got to get over to a prime at least for this week and next week and whatever, any recent time in the future. That's where it is.

Speaker 4: 59:11

I will check it. James Kahn, AKA Jimmy, the dream. Wow. Yes. Anyway, stuff got real guys. I love you guys. And uh, tune in next week for some alienation.
