1
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.839
All right, we're in Okay,
I'm Jim. That's Mike here with Abby,

2
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:18.239
Matt, Sebastian Sebastian. Okay,
here's my question I got. I

3
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.480
got asked this one the other night
when I went with some friends to watch

4
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.480
uh Big Lebowski on a big screen
for the first time in thirty years.

5
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.679
It was big Lebowski, very very
big Lebowski theater full of people too,

6
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.479
And towards the end of it,
some some chick started to laugh, and

7
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.320
I swear to god, she had
to be on some She was laughing so

8
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.159
hard. I thought she was going
to break, like into pieces. She

9
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.159
was laughing so hard, first time
she ever saw it. Maybe, I

10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.079
don't know. She was so good
and you might laugh. It's kind of

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.960
quirky. You might be so high, you might you might dig it.

12
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.960
It's about bowling. Oh I don't
know. I mean, it's not about

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.759
bowling, but it's about bowling.
But there's the other's bowling. Yeah,

14
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:06.439
it's it's it's a crazy show anyway, So two of your three favorite movies,

15
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.159
Yes and why Yeah? And we're
gonna start with the kids because you

16
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.239
guys probably only seen like ten movies. No, it's true, like,

17
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.959
that's such a hard question. Movies. I mean we're going on a whole

18
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.120
tangent which we won't about like movies
these days and these days like I mean

19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.799
short from content, right, and
then the amount of people our age watching

20
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.480
movies is probably not as much.
One half the movies and your guys' generation

21
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.359
were spoiled by Saga, Revolts and
COVID. Yeah, I forgot. You

22
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.959
know, there hasn't been good movies
in the last five years. We welcome

23
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.200
to topic thunder. Yeah, Saga
like there, you know, there's been

24
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:52.599
a writer's strike and COVID kind of
put a damper on all film and TV.

25
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.640
And they came back with the bangers
of like Himer and Barbie, which

26
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.879
Oppenheimer I heard was good, but
I didn't see it. I didn't watch.

27
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:01.719
But besides that, I mean,
there's no movies that came out the

28
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.560
summer. Normally hitters start to rip
in May, and there wasn't a single

29
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.520
Transformers Beasts don't count. It was
that's a baitar Avatar Avatar, but yeah,

30
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.280
they started that during COVID. Spider
Verse was pretty big. I heard,

31
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.240
like there's one Marvel movie coming out
this year. Good that shit been

32
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.120
trashed since Endgame. I don't know, I'm kind of I think I'm a

33
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.639
little over the heroes. There's eras
do it all, it'll probably go away.

34
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.360
In the action, yeah, like
like early two k's, you know,

35
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.759
there's a lot of action comedies,
The Bad Boys, the Rush Hours.

36
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.960
Yeah, that was like the thing
that the duo cop guy. That

37
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.520
was funny. That was a huge
era. There was a sci fi era.

38
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.039
Even Avatar had some fantasy era.
Now that obviously it has been kind

39
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.840
of a superhero era. Shitty movie
era though, because I think nowadays everyone's

40
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.400
trying to make everything too good and
it's becoming an ass. There's that I

41
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.280
don't know if I'm following the logic. Like there's some movies that like they

42
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.840
know they're not gonna be the greatest, but they're just like decent films.

43
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.680
Yeah, and nowadays people are just
overdoing it. I definitely think it's it's

44
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.479
a business, and it's it's been
a business. But they would fill seats

45
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.199
and make it worth your while.
It was a good film, where now

46
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.719
they're just budgeting you know. Well. I think the deal with the Endgame

47
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.599
too is that they tried to to
like do the best that they possibly could

48
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.919
for closing an Era, but what
they did was close the whole fucking franchise.

49
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.759
Now Guardians three I thought was good. It was fine. It is

50
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.479
a little bit. I even watched
the Christmas Special, boy that was not

51
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:36.479
good. It was amazing. I
watched the whole thing like. It didn't

52
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.840
make me turn off, where I
turned on some other ships that turned them

53
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.840
off. I didn't turn it off, but I didn't enjoy it. It

54
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.960
was weird. Anyone have a movie
they could throw out through the greatest Yeah.

55
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.120
I like Uncut Gems. Oh did
you watch that recently? They just

56
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.240
split up? Do you see that? I did not. I think it's

57
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.840
brothers that directed it. I forgot
their names. It was brothers that directed

58
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.199
it, and they just went their
own creative ways. Not a negative.

59
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.319
I forgot their names. Adam Gems
is good. Yeah. I remember watching

60
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.479
it for the first time. I
was like, kind of on my on

61
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.639
the edge of my scene, big
Kevin Garnett in there. I like the

62
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.360
Psycho thriller, but you weirdo.
Well, that I think is a more

63
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:20.800
creative way to like. It's more
difficult to create a film that can elicit

64
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:27.079
those kind of feelings and responses in
the people who are watching it. Action

65
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.480
movies, a lot of oohs and
ohs, explosions, whatever, like flips

66
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.360
and you know, keep you guessing, keep you it's like whatever. But

67
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.399
it's that unnerving Safty Brothers, Safty
Brothers. Yeah, it's that unnerving feeling.

68
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.319
Yeah, that's good. I don't
know if that's my toppers. I

69
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.040
mean, my toppers are like icon
icons. You know, it's probably the

70
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.240
Star Wars, maybe maybe the Lord
of the Rings. But I can't choose

71
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.639
them all. I love all those
Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings,

72
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.759
Star Wars are are in my conversation. But if I'm only choosing two,

73
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.879
I'm not choosing two in the same
category. Yeah, you know right now,

74
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:08.920
Interstellar, that one is really good. I've fucking heavily fucked with Tombstone.

75
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:13.560
Interstellar. It's a who are the
IDEs? Cowboy? Val Kilmer?

76
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.680
Uh what's his name? God damn
it. I have the idea it might

77
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:25.639
be eighties. I think it's nineties. It definitely ain't new. Uh,

78
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.759
Interstellar might be in mind too.
If I'm going somewhere diff training day or

79
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.199
American gangster, you can kind of
coin flip I'm a big Denzel fan.

80
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:39.959
Those two are in the convo,
and then you guys can take the other

81
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.519
coin flip of my three fantasy series. I wanted to leave the franchise out

82
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.240
of it because Lord of the Ring
has got to be up there. I

83
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.519
love I Love Star Wars, Leave
and Harry. I mean, you could

84
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.199
eat while you can leave them out, or you can decide that all three

85
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.319
of the movies that are not The
Hobbit are one movie, which is a

86
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.759
reasonable argument. I don't even know
what a hobbo Soiak got do. It

87
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.959
was the small smallest book. So
bad, so bad, so bad.

88
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.920
The original story story, toy story
is the history. Lion King. Lion

89
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.759
King is probably my top Disney Old
Time for sure, Lion King and Coco.

90
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.360
I don't think I've watched like love
no way, like thorough like through

91
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:26.920
the whole movie. I'm gonna tell
your coach, OK, Yeah, I

92
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.199
think maybe I feel like I've only
seen the beginning of it, maybe from

93
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.959
elementary school when it's like rainy day, or or at the dentist's office,

94
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.720
like when the first was I Saw, I Saw, I Saw Lion King

95
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.120
in person, and the film was
fucked, and it cut out halfway through.

96
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.439
I'm fucking when did I come out
ninety four? I'm six years old

97
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.800
and have that memory? Was your
top two if I had to, Probably

98
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:58.319
like an American Gangster Training Day and
then Interstellar. Yeah, that's definitely in

99
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.879
there too. I love and Training. Yo. That's the coin flip because

100
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.279
they're like similar, So one of
the two and then one on the one,

101
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.040
probably like a Star Wars h part
of Lord of the Rings. Brother,

102
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.759
that's Do you take any of them? Because you could take any of

103
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.959
them and I wouldn't be mad.
Like if we're saying, like, dude,

104
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.439
there's only two movies you can watch
for the rest of your life.

105
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.639
Yeah, you can take any from
any of those, even the ship ones.

106
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.240
I'll watch them, and you could
take Training Star Wars. We're saying

107
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.079
Star Wars for you. That's fine. Yeah, I'll watch the shittiest one.

108
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.160
I'll watch fucking seventy. I've had
one two which one you running up?

109
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.759
Which was the favor? I mean, the best is probably the Twin

110
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:39.360
Towers, the Two Towers. Yeah, yeah you should. Yeah, sour

111
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:46.920
on the inside job, Yeah,
you should for sure watch them. You

112
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:53.000
can watch them on my eighty five
fucking in TV. It's actually in theaters

113
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.240
right now. You can watch one
of the rings in no way. Yeah,

114
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.480
I'll go. You can go watch
them all, Like, just give

115
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.240
me three large popcorns. I need
a popcorn per I'll go. I'll literally

116
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.319
go around. Oh dude, I'm
going to Vegas the fifteen year anniversary of

117
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.319
the first Star Wars movie. They
showed all three of them all you know,

118
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.839
seven eight six seven eight seven eight
nine five six seven four five six

119
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.439
yeah, four five six yes,
and I went. I spent eight hours

120
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.399
in the theater. It was amazing. It was the best thing I would

121
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.600
do that. I was shipped myself
with all that popcorn, but I'll do

122
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.759
it. Best experience I ever had
in the theater. What have you chosen

123
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.679
one yet? I think Interstellar has
to be up there. Okay, now

124
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.840
Gym's got to get one. My
top one is Apocalypse. Now. The

125
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.440
re Ducks version almost killed that movie
for me, but I still love it

126
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:46.639
a lot. What is it Apocalypse
Now? It's It's Vietnam Back, but

127
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.360
it's really heard of darkness. It's
Joseph Conrad The Heart of Darkness, where

128
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.720
there's a guy going up a river
to kill off a mad band. M

129
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.480
yes, good, trying to think
about other I don't know. That's that's

130
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.759
my number one one the Batman trilogy. I love too, to be honest,

131
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.639
So I will tell you that if
I was giving my number three Dark

132
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.960
Knight, Yeah, I liked those
three a lot. What's the number two?

133
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.720
What's the number two? Though?
My number two? You guys aren't

134
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.200
going to get it in. But
there's a very specific reason why it's number

135
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.639
two. It's Star Trek two.
I've never seen. Yeah, and there's

136
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.879
a there's a particular reason why because
I saw it before it was finished,

137
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.399
like I was. I was in
the second preview audience, Okay, yeah,

138
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.639
and yeah, it was introduced introduced
by the director. It was nice,

139
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.960
it was cool, it was it
was pure luck. It was pure

140
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.519
luck. And the person that I
went with doesn't even remember going. But

141
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.879
I know that's crazy. No one
knows what happened. Yeah, I know

142
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.240
the special effects. When I finished
the movie, the music wasn't done and

143
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.240
it didn't ruin it. I feel
like something like that might ruin if no,

144
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.200
no people were because like okay,
Spoilerler from a movie that from nineteen

145
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.360
eighty two. Okay, Spock dies
at the end of the movie. Okay,

146
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.799
And in the first cut of the
movie, Spock was just dead and

147
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.159
there was no hope that he was
ever going to be anything but dead,

148
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.600
and the audience reaction was so bad
to that part of it. They had

149
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:26.399
they had to create a hopeful scene
that he might return somehow, and so

150
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.759
they put that in and that was
in the version that I saw, and

151
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.279
people were on their feet, like
it was a fucking standing ovation, even

152
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.960
because like you don't know that you're
getting Star Trek fans, right because you

153
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:43.399
because the things were just handed out
randomly. Like we were walking down the

154
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.799
street in Westwood, which is like
the town right outside of UCLA, and

155
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.120
guys like, you want to see
a science fiction film at Paramount And I

156
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.919
didn't even know the Paramount owned Star
Trek, so we went and so it

157
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.039
was just a random selection of people
in the movie was just so good.

158
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.919
It's so compelling. It's got you
know, Shakespearean underpinnings and stuff like that.

159
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.240
It's you know, and and Dickens, and you know, it's just

160
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.320
it's it's literature on film. It's
really good. You got literature number two?

161
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.559
You got do you give number two
about you got number two? Oh,

162
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.480
I said a lion king or oh
yeah to His stories are good man,

163
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.080
all of them, but I didn't
watch. They're all good. But

164
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:33.879
I'm so bad at watching movies.
I don't have any. Oh yeah,

165
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:39.279
sure, Spirited Away the Funk Is
that is the Studio Ghibli an one?

166
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:46.000
Yeah? Sure, yeah, that's
probably the one Studio Ghibli movie you should

167
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.159
watch. Really did they just put
one in American big theaters? He did

168
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.879
The Boy and the Heron. It's
trash. Not a fan, I mean,

169
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.279
I don't really like it. Yeah, it was really confusing. I

170
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.000
walked out like not underst standing.
But and then I read up on it

171
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:07.240
and it was just like it's symbolic
of the director or the people who are

172
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.080
symbol of these nuts. You know, we don't need a Yeah, I'm

173
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.799
like, yeah, but tell a
story. It were the explosions, where's

174
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.240
Optimist Prime? Yeah? Why isn't
there a fucking Toyota super? And Outer

175
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:26.080
Space? Was Tesla in outer space? In this transformer like one of the

176
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.759
Fast Dodge now out in space?
I'm like, what the Yeah? Yeah?

177
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.559
The movie, Like, I don't
think I've watched a movie like Interstellar

178
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.559
that has really caught my attention.
I liked The Interstellar a lot. I

179
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.679
liked Inception a lot when it came
out. I haven't watched it in a

180
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.039
while. I liked Inception a lot. The thing I liked about Inception was

181
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:56.639
that it's a totally ridiculous scenario,
but inside of every dream scape, everybody

182
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.919
does their jobs like it's the most
fucking normal thing in the world. Yeah,

183
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.960
yeah, kind of matrix Matrix might
be in my conversation. Yeah,

184
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:09.600
Matrix, Hi Matrix is so good. Princess Bride, Prince conversation. That's

185
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.600
an awesome Yeah. Is that the
one with the terrible acting? It's a

186
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.639
comedy inconceivable. Yeah, it's got
Andre the Giant, It's got a what's

187
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.279
the main dude's name. He's also
Robin Hood Mendites obviously mel Brooks movie.

188
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.879
But the main cat isn't he this
name? Harry OLiS? Yeah? Have

189
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.120
you seen Robinhood Menotites? And he
also seen that. You've probably even seen

190
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.399
that. You should see that.
It's the same thing as Princess Bride,

191
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.919
but over Robin Hood. Chappelle is
in it, Young Chappelle. It's really

192
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.919
good. It's probably early nineties.
I don't know what other big hitters.

193
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.159
You have Batman's Honestly, I Avatar
got to be in your mind the first

194
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.679
Blue People got I like that.
I like the first Avatar a lot when

195
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.559
I came out. Even the second
one I thought was decent. I watched

196
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.840
it at home. The ride,
though, is crazy. You go to

197
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.080
Avatar World in Disney World. That
ship is crazy. How do you guys

198
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.320
like determine what you think about all
these movies? Yeah? Like what are

199
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.879
you thinking about in order to choose
the memory that it gave me? Yeah?

200
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.840
Maybe memory? Or how soaked in
I am? Like if I never

201
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.279
look at the clock, if I
never like look at like the curtains on

202
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.799
the side of the theater, you
know, there's something about me being like

203
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.120
fully zoned in and when I'm so
tapped in or care about it afterwards to

204
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.799
like google like Star Wars and Lord
of the Rings and Harry Potter. I

205
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.720
want to know like the lore,
like I care enough about the character development

206
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.440
that I dig in. You a
book reader for the Lord of the Ring.

207
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:37.720
No, I don't know how to
read same. Recently I read I

208
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.159
read parts of it. I remember
that, Yeah, it's not compelling because

209
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.000
I'm trying to think of movies and
like, would this be my favorite?

210
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.559
I think it's locked into a particular
period of your life when you saw it

211
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.200
too, exactly. Yeah, it's
like a meal, right, depending on

212
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.039
your mood. Sometimes a meal could
be insane, whether it's that good or

213
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.799
not. Movies are kind of like
that. Yeah, how it spoke to

214
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.600
you? Yeah, I think it's
about for me, the concept has to

215
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.639
be like I don't know, has
to I guess the theme or like the

216
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.639
lesson. Yeah, you like a
little thinker or something. Yeah, like

217
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.519
Interstellar right makes you think Interstellar And
that's also my inception is really good too.

218
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.679
It's like it's really think outside of
the box and you start to question,

219
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.879
like I like the in the thoughtfulness
or whatever. Yeah, there's a

220
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.440
lot of movies that aren't that thoughtful
that impacted me a lot too. They

221
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.039
just all turned into cuks. But
like Men in Black was one of my

222
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.440
favorite movies that ever came out.
Bad Boys one of my favorite movies that

223
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.559
came out, Like yeah, a
lot of it. I think Jim's right,

224
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.080
is like the era you grew up
in or the moment you were in,

225
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.720
Like that was just the coolest shit. Right. As I'm turning like

226
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.720
eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, Rush Hour came out and

227
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.120
what ninety eight? Yeah, and
I'm that age, I'm ten, you

228
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.600
know, like all I was born. All those movies are so hot and

229
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.279
they're so funny, and the action
stuff like wasn't really played out yet,

230
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.480
especially with AI because it was pretty
raw. It was. Yeah, Rush

231
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:04.720
Hour are so good, bad Boys, if you haven't seen, I thought

232
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.399
it was really good. The movies
that kind of changed the game, Yeah,

233
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.159
yeah, I think Menaflo changed the
game a little bit. Low key.

234
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.600
That was like Will's like real big
blockbuster debut. I kind of launched

235
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.159
his career. I liked. I
love a lot of Will Smith movies.

236
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.720
It's just harsh to think about now, my poor guy. I loved I

237
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.559
Am Legend. I loved All Lee. I Am, I Am Legend.

238
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.879
They say Anohinge was coming out maybe
this year, next year. Yeah,

239
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.360
I don't know. I agree.
There's something a lot of movies I just

240
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.159
need to be left. Yeah,
but some movies don't need to take sequels.

241
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.559
That's not how money works. Although
I'm listening to actually on my list,

242
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:47.120
I'm listening to a review of Terminator
too right now, and that was

243
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.440
a great movie, and it very
much improved on the original. You got

244
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.240
to try it much better, even
Rush Hour to Solid. You know,

245
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.279
there are movies with trilogies that bop, you know, so you kind of

246
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.559
have to try. Even Matrix two
isn't terrible. A lethal weapon two is

247
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.639
better than Yeah, so you kind
of have to try. There's gonna be

248
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.200
misses more missus than makes, but
you're gonna win somewhere. Yeah. They're

249
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.240
making a sequel to Gladiator. Yeah, yeah, the Share, Yeah,

250
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.960
this Share Yeah with Dentel. Oh
ship that's gonna be Yeah, really,

251
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:18.799
I bet you'd be all right.
I think it's really Scott. I think

252
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.440
is really Scott again. But really, Scott can make a bad movie.

253
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:29.640
Those prequels anyone, I mean,
yeah, sixty years ago, what Aliens?

254
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.480
No, he said, the prequel, like the prequel, the newist

255
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:37.319
Ones, Prometheus, that ship,
that Prometheus. Yeah, I didn't think

256
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.720
Prometheus was that bad. It definitely
wasn't iconic Aliens, But screaming at it

257
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.640
give me like shitty movies that you're
a big fan of like that, Like

258
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.400
that's a whole other podcast. Yeah, Well, I don't know what should

259
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.519
he means? Because I like,
I just like to be entertained, like

260
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.599
anything that got dug out in the
public media. Yeah, every movie I

261
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.519
like, probably I mean The Phantom
Menace. Everyone bops out that thing.

262
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:07.160
That movie. Yeah, yeah,
tons of movies, because I mean a

263
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:08.359
lot of it too, is like
it's a movie. You know, I'm

264
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.480
not looking at things always the same, you know, you look at it

265
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.000
like growing up, and I still
do this. I rate everything by like

266
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.000
the dollars you're spending. It's like
a movie's ten bucks, Like I'm pretty

267
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.279
two hours ten bucks, Like that
was pretty good. Yeah, well because

268
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.880
because I play golf my whole life, and motherfuckers would always come at you

269
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.119
like golf so expensive. I'm like, bro, it's twenty five dollars and

270
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.680
it's like five hours. You go
to movies all the time, like,

271
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.799
don't tell me it's expensive like that. Do some ratio and yeah, you

272
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.440
can tell me you don't like golf, that's fine, But if you want

273
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.160
to golf, but it's so expensive, now you're just making shit up.

274
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.480
So I kind of think about movies
like that, and especially now shit's free.

275
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:45.839
Like when I say like, oh
this was pretty good, it's like,

276
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.160
man, it took me two clicks
to get there. The effort towards

277
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:55.160
the entertainment, it's pretty good.
You know. The way you calculate things

278
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.079
is so funny. That's just how
life works. You know. Is it

279
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.160
worth my effort to make X amount
of money? Is it worth if my

280
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.799
effort of get X amount of results
in the gym, like I could pull

281
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.240
seven hundred and fifty pounds. It
reminds me of these You could take me

282
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.880
like X amount to get there.
I don't. I don't got x right

283
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.640
now. Eating crab legs, yeah, calculating that shim. Yeah, I'm

284
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:18.200
not trying to get my fingers yucky
and sea juice on me. And I'm

285
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.039
not trying to eat yeah fucking spider
