A Few Good Men / Nomad Outland Whisky

1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:04,900
In 1992 director Rob Reiner and
star Tom Cruise gave the road an

2
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:08,800
electric courtroom drama that
pulls no punches in its search

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,000
for the truth in 2022.
We try it Whiskey that Embraces

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,700
the heart of a traveler.
The film is a Few Good Men.

5
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:21,700
The whiskey is Nomad Outland
whiskey and we'll review them

6
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:24,900
both.
This is the film and whiskey

7
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:45,600
podcast.
Welcome to the film and whiskey

8
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
podcast, where each week, we
review a classic movie at a

9
00:00:48,808 --> 00:00:52,800
glass of whiskey.
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G and

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,600
this week we continue the Rob
Reiner train that we have rollin

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,800
with 1992's.
A Few Good Men.

12
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,400
Brad basically the same thing as
misery.

13
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,400
You know, we've talked about how
Rob Reiner is just kind of all

14
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,700
over the place when it comes to
genre exercises.

15
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,200
And the same is true again this
week.

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,900
So now this is the fourth Rob
Reiner film, we've done on the

17
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:20,500
podcast and we have gone from
When Harry Met Sally to, This Is

18
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:25,200
Spinal tap to misery to A Few
Good Men, which, you know, just

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,800
they all seem like very logical
steps for Rob Reiner to take.

20
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Right?
Yeah.

21
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,100
It's pretty obvious.
If you're going to be moving

22
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:36,900
your directorial career along,
you should just jump from genre

23
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:39,400
to genre as you go, it's the
best move.

24
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,700
Absolutely.
It's what everyone always says,

25
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,400
they can't pin down.
What kind of things scorsese's

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,900
all about?
You know, it's like he he made

27
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:49,200
that one gangster movie that one
time, but he never really

28
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,700
returned to that Jean.
Ah, yeah, exactly.

29
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,500
And that's that's what makes him
so great.

30
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,200
Exactly.
All right.

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,900
So I don't have too much to say
about this movie Brad other than

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,500
this is just a really Movie in.
Oh yeah.

33
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:03,900
Yeah, that's it, man.
All right, look it up, sewed.

34
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:05,500
Those drink the whiskey and get
out of here.

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,900
Bob.
I think what I love about A Few

36
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:16,600
Good Men is that you have a
Sorkin screenplay just with the

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,500
perfect actors to execute what
he is going for on the page?

38
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:21,800
You know what I mean?
Hmm.

39
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:25,900
Yeah, I mean this was adapted
from a play that Sorkin wrote

40
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:29,600
and it's very obviously a play
like this just feels like it was

41
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400
meant It to be on the stage.
The scenes are very long,

42
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,000
they're very dialogue heavy.
I mean, of course, it's dialogue

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,800
heavy its Sorkin but even more
than most of his screenplays,

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200
this feels like a stage
adaptation and what I really

45
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,100
love about Sorkin and he's a guy
that has in some ways, kind of

46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,900
come full circle, and become
like a parody of himself.

47
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,400
I think these days.
But what I really love about

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,100
Sorkin is that he has one foot
in the present with the way that

49
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:58,400
he writes dialogue and his ear
for dialogue.

50
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,300
And he also has one foot In
Classic Hollywood like there

51
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,400
are, there are lines in this
movie that work in the context

52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,200
of a movie and they work.
Because how do I explain it?

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,600
It's almost like we know that a
scene is building to that payoff

54
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,500
line and then every single time
a scene is building to a payoff

55
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:19,900
line.
Or, you know, if it was a

56
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,800
comedy, we call it a punch line,
but every single time the scene

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000
is building to one of those
lines, he delivers.

58
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Yeah, there's just this
incredible tension that builds

59
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,600
in each.
Seen and as we as we hit those

60
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,600
scenes, it just feels like Tom
has an ability to nail the

61
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,000
emotional Timbre of the seen
every single time.

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,900
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

63
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:51,400
Tom what?
Tom Tom you said, Tom, which

64
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,900
time are we talking about here?
Our boys are boy Tommy.

65
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:58,300
See our boy, Tommy see here.
It is the one and only I just

66
00:03:58,300 --> 00:03:59,900
love that.
You're on a first-name basis

67
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:03,000
with him at and first name only,
like he's Madonna.

68
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:04,300
You know?
It's just Tom.

69
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:08,500
Yeah, obviously I mean, yeah.
I mean do you owe me calm like

70
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:13,200
Thomas Crews?
Know, I don't know.

71
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,900
You're absolutely right.
This is a stellar Tom Cruise

72
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:19,800
performance and Tom Cruise is
kind of a good microcosm for how

73
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,800
I feel about this whole movie
Brad and I promise, we'll get

74
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,100
into the meat of Episode here.
I'm kind of just like going off

75
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:30,100
on tangents but up until about
the last 25 minutes of this

76
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,500
movie.
I was watching it and saying,

77
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:36,900
like, it does everything a movie
is supposed to do and it does it

78
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:41,000
pretty darn well, like this is a
solid eight and a half and it's

79
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,300
a site.
Like it's the kind of

80
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:45,800
eight-and-a-half that everyone
in the world would agree that

81
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,200
this movie is like an eight and
a half.

82
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,800
And that's why everyone loves
it.

83
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,700
But it's not quite has a 7.7 on
TV.

84
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:54,700
Yeah, exactly.
But it's Not exactly like the

85
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:59,100
greatest movie I've ever seen
and then they'll last 25 minutes

86
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:01,900
of the movie happen.
And I said, oh, this is way

87
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:05,400
better than eight and a half.
And I think Tom Cruise's

88
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,400
performance kind of mirrors that
for me for most of the movie.

89
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,700
I'm like, you know, Tom Cruise
is holding his own here and he's

90
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:15,200
doing a pretty good job, but
he's leaning on some of the old

91
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Tom Cruise standbys and then the
last 25 minutes happened and I

92
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000
was like, oh, this is one of the
best, Tom Cruise performances of

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,300
his whole career.
Easily.

94
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:30,100
I think that when he comes back
to the apartment and he's drunk

95
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:34,300
because you know he's found out
that their he's found out that

96
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:36,800
there are spoilers ahead Bob.
Yeah, exactly.

97
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:41,900
He's found out that Colonel
markinson has killed himself and

98
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:43,900
that their entire defense has
fallen apart.

99
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:49,500
And you know, Galloway is
continually trying to get him to

100
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:55,700
essentially like keep fighting
and he just Loses his mind and

101
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,600
like, ends up throwing
everything off the table.

102
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,900
He, you know, slams it off the
table and he's screaming at his

103
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:07,800
coworker and it's just
absolutely electric and you can

104
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,700
feel the tension in the room and
I it's moments like that where

105
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:16,300
I'm like, man Tom is just one of
the best actors of Our

106
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:20,900
Generation.
Picture and Tom from Myspace.

107
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:25,700
Every time you do that like man,
Tom, what a good guy, what a

108
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:29,000
great guy, Thomas.
All right, it is time for us to

109
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,800
get into Brad explains, which is
America's favorite segment of

110
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,700
this show.
This is the part of the podcast,

111
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,300
where Brad breaks down the plot
of the film that he has just

112
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:40,900
seen often for the first time
Brad.

113
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,400
This is not your first time
seeing a Few Good Men, right?

114
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,100
Hmm.
No, definitely seen it before.

115
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:50,400
This was probably three or four.
Okay, I've seen it a few times

116
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,200
before.
It's probably been, maybe six or

117
00:06:54,207 --> 00:06:55,800
seven years since I last saw it
though.

118
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,800
So it's been a minute.
Was this a cable movie for you?

119
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,900
Or was this a, like, I saw it
on, you know, VHS or I saw it on

120
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:06,200
DVD or whatever.
Bob, I don't know if you knew

121
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,800
this or not, but I did not have
cable growing up.

122
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,100
Oh, really?
Oh yeah, no side.

123
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,900
Never watched cable movies.
I think it's why I never

124
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:17,500
understood like the Shawshank.
Yes, appeal, yes.

125
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:23,000
So yeah, I am not really
familiar with movies being shown

126
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
on TV.
Okay.

127
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:26,500
Well, it's funny.
You bring that up because I do

128
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:28,600
think like, if I'm going to
compare this move, eat anything

129
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,300
today, it's going to be
Shawshank because I think this

130
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:33,300
has a very similar Vibe just in
the way it's structured.

131
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:38,300
But yeah, I forgot that you
lived under a proverbial rock as

132
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:40,600
a child.
So you've seen this movie three

133
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,600
or four times and not divide it
up by commercials, which is, I

134
00:07:43,608 --> 00:07:46,500
think crucial to one's enjoyment
of this movie.

135
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,400
Yeah, I feel like if You had a
10-minute interval of like

136
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,300
Swiffer commercials and I'm
like, I don't know, but it was

137
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:59,200
probably shown in like the early
to mid-2000s so like Axe Body

138
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Spray commercial.
Yeah.

139
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,100
Like I don't, I don't think that
would really accent the movie

140
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:07,900
very well.
Come on, man.

141
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,600
You when I'm watching this
movie, though, I'm thinking of

142
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,900
like, hey, you know, it sounds
really good right now, A Quiznos

143
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:17,000
Sub and then there are the
commercial Power Pro Quiznos

144
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,700
used to have this like Like
roast beef, steak house sub.

145
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:25,300
That was freaking killer.
I never never had Quiznos.

146
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,700
I feel like I've missed my
chance now.

147
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:31,000
Yeah, I think you have, I don't
know if they exist any, they've

148
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,500
been swallowed up by the Jersey
Mike's Cinematic Universe.

149
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:40,400
Now, there's like a little
business heaven where, like, you

150
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,799
can go to Blockbuster and then
next door.

151
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,700
There's a quiz know who's inside
of a Circuit City.

152
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:50,200
Yeah.
All right, dude, we are way off

153
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,800
course.
It's time for Brad explains.

154
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,500
We've got 60 seconds on the
clock.

155
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,700
Can you break down in a spoiler
filled fashion?

156
00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:02,900
The plot of A Few Good Men.
Tom Cruise is a just kind of a

157
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:06,600
d-bag lawyer who gets by on plea
Bargains.

158
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,900
But he is tasked with defending
two marines who have been

159
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:13,000
accused of murdering one of
their fellow Marines.

160
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:16,500
He travels down to Guantanamo
Bay to learn more about the case

161
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:18,200
and has an interaction with the
environment.

162
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:21,800
Infamous Lieutenant Nathan are
Jessup, Colonel heard and

163
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,700
Colonel.
Sorry.

164
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:27,000
Yeah, he very clearly wants to
be called Colonel, he goes back

165
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,600
and mounts a case to defend
these men going through all

166
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,000
sorts of trials and tribulations
in the meantime by the end of

167
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,300
it.
The only way to prove their

168
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:39,900
innocence is to get Colonel
jessep to admit that he ordered

169
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,500
a code red which is a
disciplinary measure that's a

170
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:47,800
little bit off the books he does
this in spectacular fashion

171
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,100
helping His clients along the
way.

172
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Boom yente boom.
That might that might have been

173
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,000
one of like that's a good one.
Like mechanically one of my best

174
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,600
and you came in like eight or
nine seconds under time to.

175
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:04,800
Yeah, that's impressive.
Nicely done.

176
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,000
It drink some whiskey to myself
as you should.

177
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,900
All right man, let's jump in and
let's start talking about

178
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:13,000
performances because we've
already mentioned Tom, as we

179
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,300
like to call him.
I do think this is one of Cruz's

180
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:20,400
best performances and we've done
a few Cruise movies on the show.

181
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:23,100
I think a few weeks ago, I don't
remember what episode it was,

182
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:26,900
but I was talking about the
slight variations that he did on

183
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:31,100
the same general douche-baggy
character, for such a long time

184
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,700
and like in Top Gun, he does it
one way and then the next year,

185
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,900
he does the color of money with
Scorsese, and it's a very

186
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:41,200
different take on the same
general Cockiness.

187
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:45,400
And he has that here where I
mean like this is a really

188
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,100
interesting one to hold up
against Maverick.

189
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,600
Top Gun because in like at that
the root of both of those

190
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,700
characters is this thing with
their parents and how I think is

191
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:58,700
it Mavericks dad is dead or
something or like his dad was

192
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:02,900
like a really important flying
ace and he can't live up to that

193
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:06,900
and then in this movie his dad
was a really important lawyer

194
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,700
but they're motivated by
different things.

195
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,900
And I think it's a really
interesting study and how Crews

196
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:17,500
didn't really stretch himself in
terms of the types of characters

197
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:18,400
he played.
Jade.

198
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:21,200
But at the same time I don't
think he gets enough credit for

199
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,700
the different shades that he
brings to each incarnation of

200
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:29,900
this kind of same stereotype.
I think it's just fascinating

201
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:33,900
that he very clearly had some
daddy issues and yet never

202
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:36,200
worked with Steven Spielberg.
Well, he's worked with Steven

203
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,200
Spielberg many times.
Oh, that's true.

204
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,700
Minority Report War of the
Worlds War of the Worlds.

205
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:43,500
I guess.
That's to maybe not many, but

206
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:48,100
but it to a couple for sure to
that's fun.

207
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:53,000
Like literally, as I said it, I
was like, wait a second.

208
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,700
I agree with you, Bob.
I think that he brings a Nuance

209
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:02,600
to this character and I think
one of the things that helps the

210
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,900
most with it is his interactions
with his his co-leads.

211
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,200
I think that Demi Moore and I'm
Kevin Pollak just really bring

212
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,700
out all of the different shades
of his character that he needs

213
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:22,000
to bring out the actions with
them reveal a much deeper and

214
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,300
kind-hearted person than you get
at the very start.

215
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:29,000
When he, you know, he's wheeling
and dealing and and talking

216
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,700
about how he's gonna have him
doing paperwork for up to a

217
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:34,000
year.
If you don't take this plea

218
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,500
bargain.
And and the the cheesiness at

219
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:40,700
the start is kind of paid off
with a much deeper character, by

220
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:44,900
the end of the film, for sure,
and you've mentioned his to

221
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:49,500
co-counsels Kevin Pollak and
Demi Moore, and I'm going to

222
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:52,800
wait to get to Jack Nicholson.
But let's talk about Demi Moore

223
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,100
for a little bit because It is a
rare thing, Brad to find an

224
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:00,900
actor.
Who can deliver Sorkin, dialogue

225
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:05,700
believably, I think, you know,
like at its worst sorkin's

226
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:10,400
dialogue or I guess, the actors
in a Sorkin movie are just kind

227
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,500
of like vessels to get the
dialogue across.

228
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,300
And there are times when the
dialogue in a Sorkin movie

229
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:19,600
always seems to showy and it
seems too much like Sorkin is

230
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,900
trying to go for like these
verbal fireworks and it's

231
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,900
sometimes really Obvious.
And I think that Demi Moore does

232
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:30,000
a really good job in this movie,
especially by the end of the

233
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,800
film.
But in the early going, I

234
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,900
definitely noticed that she was
just saying dialogue, and I was

235
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,200
noticing the dialogue more than
I was noticing her performance.

236
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:43,000
I don't know.
That's fair.

237
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,700
But, you know, now she's fine.
Yeah, I don't know if I've ever

238
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:51,300
seen a Demi Moore movie that I
was like super impressed with

239
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,600
uh-huh.
You know, her performance.

240
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,300
I think that.
This role though, she does what

241
00:13:56,300 --> 00:14:02,600
she needs to do in that she she
highlights the Nuance of Cruz's

242
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,100
performance and helps, you know,
dry.

243
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:10,000
She challenges him, which is
what he needs to make him a

244
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,200
better lawyer, and a better
person.

245
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:15,700
And so, I think she stands up
for herself in just the right

246
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:21,800
ways and her performance has a
tenacity to it that I think

247
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,800
stands up pretty well, when you
look at the The other

248
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,200
performances which I think are
really spectacular.

249
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,900
Alright, Kevin Pollak, I think
does a really good job in a

250
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:33,500
pretty thankless role.
I mean, he's just there to kind

251
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:37,900
of be like the Buddy, he is the
goose to Tom Cruise is Maverick.

252
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,500
Like, if we're being honest here
and he does a good job with it.

253
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:45,800
Yeah he talks about his kid and
says that she called him dad and

254
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Tom Cruise.
Like she's pointing at a

255
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,000
mailbox.
Yeah.

256
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,700
I guess that's the extent of our
conversation about Kevin Pollak.

257
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:55,300
So it's time for Jack.
Nicholson.

258
00:14:55,700 --> 00:15:00,500
Hmm who has entered a phase of
his career here where it's kind

259
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:05,200
of like Pacino where once Pacino
hits Scarface in the early 80s.

260
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
He can't not be Pacino in a
movie anymore and I think

261
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Nicholson has kind of hit that
at this point.

262
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,600
You know, this is post Batman.
So he's already done.

263
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,100
The Joker thing he is once
again, one of the biggest names

264
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:20,700
in Hollywood, he is commanding
an incredible salary.

265
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:23,700
I think he gets five million
dollars for this movie for doing

266
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:26,800
10 days.
Of work and went on the record

267
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,400
afterward and said, like this is
one of the few times that amount

268
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,500
of money was worth it, but Rob
Reiner raved about working with

269
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,900
him said that, you know, when
they were doing the courtroom

270
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:39,600
scenes, you know, when you're
filming something, you do what's

271
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,600
called coverage, we're like, all
right, we're going to get the

272
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,000
shots of both of these guys.
Tom Cruise, and Jack Nicholson

273
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,900
talking with each other, whether
both in the shop, and then we

274
00:15:48,908 --> 00:15:52,200
need to film it from jessup's
point of view, only looking at

275
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Tom Cruise, and so, Jack
Nicholson's office, Gene.

276
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,300
And in a lot of time, a lot of
cases, what you'll have is like

277
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:00,300
a script supervisor, or someone
will be just reading the lines.

278
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:03,400
And Tom Cruise is just reacting
and he said that not only did

279
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,000
Jack Nicholson stay and do all
of his lines, but he did it in

280
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,000
character at like, level 100 the
whole time, no matter Mecca and

281
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,900
I was there it is.
No matter if the camera was on

282
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:18,700
him or not like he really did
give his all for 10 days and got

283
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:22,900
five million dollars for it.
Yeah and I guess I'll say this

284
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:27,200
man if you're Getting paid five
million dollars to work for 10

285
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,900
days and granted you know, movie
shoots are intense days.

286
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:36,200
He's probably there for like 12
to 14 hours but I think it's

287
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,300
not, you know, too much to ask
for him to just go balls to the

288
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:42,800
wall the entire time.
Yeah, here's the thing.

289
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,500
All right, so I said all that
about Nicholson to say this, I

290
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:51,200
don't know that he's necessarily
believable as a marine Nicholson

291
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,600
made his bones on being
counterculture.

292
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,000
Like he was in Writer.
Hmm, right?

293
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And all through the 70s, he
played these countercultural,

294
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:02,000
whether it was in Five Easy
Pieces or even in the Last

295
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,700
Detail, where he is playing a
member of the military or One

296
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:08,300
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,
where he arrives at this, you

297
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:10,200
know, mental institution and
wreaks Havoc.

298
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,700
I don't all the time.
Go ahead.

299
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,099
Sorry.
And also was, you know, charged

300
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:17,900
with raping underage girl,
right?

301
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,400
You know.
No big deal in that movie not in

302
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,599
not, in this is not Jack
Nicholson.

303
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:25,200
This is yes, Nick Murphy in
Portent detail.

304
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,100
I don't know that I trust trust
I don't know that I buy him as a

305
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:36,600
lifelong member of the military
but I Do by him as Jack

306
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:42,400
Nicholson outsized actor, who is
there to chew scenery and kick

307
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:47,900
ass and in that capacity putting
him up against Tom Cruise.

308
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:52,700
I think what makes it compelling
is like it's not even so much

309
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:57,300
Jessup versus Kathy as It is,
you know, Nicholson versus Cruz.

310
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,800
And so like even if I don't
totally buy the character of

311
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,200
Jessup, played by Nicholson, I'm
invested in watching these two

312
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,200
actors bounce off each other.
I think that's ridiculous.

313
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,200
Bob.
Alright, I think that Nicholson

314
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:22,300
has an incredible ability to
embody the best worst part of

315
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:28,400
the American Military.
In that that crude snide - that

316
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,800
looks down on the people.
It protects.

317
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:34,300
And I think that from what I
have heard, you know, my brother

318
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:38,100
was military for for eight
years, I've had some other good

319
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:41,300
friends in the military from
what I've heard, there are those

320
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:45,400
people who you know and
unfortunately it seems like our

321
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,200
country gets further and further
away from appreciating the

322
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,100
military.
But a lot of people in the

323
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:54,100
military feel that distance and
feel further and further from

324
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:57,500
want In to listen or care for
the people that they're

325
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:00,800
protecting.
And so I would honestly say that

326
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,500
in my mind, the character of
Nathan Jessup played by

327
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:09,500
Nicholson is eminently
believable, that's fair.

328
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:13,800
I mean I guess I will say I buy
Nicholson as a hard-ass and I

329
00:19:13,808 --> 00:19:15,600
think he's playing a hard-ass
here.

330
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800
I just don't know if I'm ever
going to look at Jack Nicholson

331
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,500
and be like, Oh yeah, this guy
who wears big sunglasses and

332
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:24,900
sits courtside at the Lakers
games, you know, is Clearly a

333
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:26,600
member of our military.
Do you know what I mean?

334
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Like, it's just, I'm so familiar
with the Persona of Jack.

335
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,100
Now that it's hard to detach
from that, I think I would just

336
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:35,500
call the Tom Hanks.
Effect.

337
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,000
Yeah.
Like, you know, Tom Hanks is Tom

338
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,600
Hanks is Tom Hanks, whether he's
in big or, you know, Mister

339
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Mister Rogers or anything.
It's just, it's just Tom Hanks.

340
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,700
All right, before we go to
break, let's talk a little bit

341
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:55,000
about Reiner and Sorkin, and I
guess we'll kind of I don't

342
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,400
know, we'll go in and out of
both of them, but I think, with

343
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,300
Reiner, we've talked about this
already, he always knows how to

344
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:06,900
align himself with a really good
script, and then just be

345
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:10,700
efficient at movie making.
Like, when I watch this movie,

346
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,200
there's not much fat on it and
it's because it's a script that

347
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,400
doesn't have much fat on it, but
Reiner also is wise enough to

348
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,900
know not to add a whole bunch of
like extraneous details and

349
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:25,600
things.
That Don't really belong in this

350
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,300
movie, you know, we've knocked
him a little bit for not being

351
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:32,200
the most artistic director of
all time, but because I feel

352
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,300
like he knows his limitations, I
guess is what I'm saying because

353
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:38,200
he knows to pick a script that
he doesn't have to do anything

354
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,500
extra to and then just direct to
the script and then you have a

355
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,500
great movie.
And it's a formula that seems to

356
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:47,100
work time and time again for him
because it works again here.

357
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,900
Here's the thing, though, I
agree with you 100%, but I think

358
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,000
when you want to look for
artistic touches, I think that

359
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,200
the oh, Winning scene of this
film is actually pretty

360
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,600
brilliant.
Like you get a solid 3 to 4

361
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:07,400
minute scene of, you know,
Marines basically doing a gun

362
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,600
choreography when you know,
where they're flipping their

363
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,600
guns back and forth.
And there's like, probably, like

364
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:18,400
20 Marines, moving through this
really intricate choreography

365
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:22,500
and the the song playing in the
background I believe is Semper

366
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:29,700
Fidelis and It builds this this
idea of order in the midst of

367
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:33,200
chaos.
This this idea that no matter

368
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,800
what happens, the Marines will
be in.

369
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,600
Perfect Unison, will be in
perfect lockstep with one

370
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,200
another as they move throughout
this movie and that sets up the

371
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,500
core tension of the film, which
is what happens when you have

372
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:53,700
that sort of Unity come into,
you know, fly in the face of a

373
00:21:53,708 --> 00:21:56,700
character.
Like Lieutenant, Daniel kaffee,

374
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,600
and what's going to happen when
the Marines have to eat their

375
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,600
own, where they're no longer
able to work in lockstep

376
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,800
anymore.
And so, I think that, that

377
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,300
opening scene is Reiner setting,
the stage for everything that's

378
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:13,800
to come and I found myself
really impressed by it.

379
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,300
Yeah, that's a really good point
and I do I do really like that

380
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:20,100
opening scene wordless and, you
know, without a score like

381
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:21,200
you're right.
It's just, it's just the

382
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,800
marching band.
I thought when you said that you

383
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,600
were talking about The opening
scene, I thought you were

384
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,800
talking about the very opening
which is where they show

385
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,600
Santiago get attacked.
Oh yeah.

386
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:37,900
And I have to say that the few
times that it seems like Reiner

387
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,500
/, Sorkin /, William Goldman.
Who did a touch-up on the

388
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:46,100
screenplay do anything?
That's outside of what I think

389
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:47,900
would be in that play.
You know?

390
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:49,700
I mean like there's just a
couple moments where they like

391
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,000
they kind of cut away to
something else or they do like a

392
00:22:52,008 --> 00:22:54,800
flashback.
There's only a few Scenes like

393
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,300
that in the movie and I honestly
think that they're the only few

394
00:22:58,300 --> 00:23:02,700
things that kind of date the
movie, like the way that that

395
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:04,900
scene is filmed the very first
scene where the you should were.

396
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:08,000
You see the attack?
It just looks like a movie from

397
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,100
1992.
The way that the slow-mo works,

398
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,800
and the sound effects and like,
it just looks.

399
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,800
So dated and the rest of the
movie feels like it hasn't aged

400
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,300
a day and so that's part except
for the score.

401
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:23,400
Oh my gosh.
You have, the score is terrible.

402
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:27,100
Dun dun dun.
Oh no, dude, I don't know what

403
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:31,800
it is about the 90s and their
use of like, not quite synth

404
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,700
piano.
I don't even know what you would

405
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:35,800
call it is.
It's like sympathy for sure.

406
00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:39,200
Yeah, it's it's terrible, it's
so bad.

407
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,900
Like, I want this movie to be
remade, just so that it has a

408
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:47,600
normal score like orchestral
score, because this movie would

409
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,400
be Kick-Ass if it had one.
Well, so like that's a great

410
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,000
point but to the extent that it
affects Reiner.

411
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:57,600
I guess what I'm saying is like
the few times that it actually

412
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,100
seems like Reiner is trying to
do something a little artistic

413
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:04,800
or do something that's not just
strictly on the page.

414
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,200
It also seems like he's kind of
caught up in whatever was really

415
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,600
popular at the moment and those
are the moments of the film that

416
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800
seemed to data and it was the
same thing with misery, like we

417
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,600
talked about all of his little
weird, cheesy flourishes, in the

418
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,200
first half of that movie before,
he just kind of took a backseat

419
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,800
in the second half to the Script
and then the movie got a lot

420
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,600
better.
And I think that in misery it

421
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,500
worked a little bit better
because this, this sounds bad.

422
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:35,400
For those of you are fans of
horror movies.

423
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,900
I apologize.
But like when you're writing a

424
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:41,500
horror Thriller, I feel like
it's almost expected to have

425
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:45,400
some of those cheesy moments
that set up the movie.

426
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,800
Whereas when you have it in a
really serious legal courtroom

427
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,500
drama, then for me, they'd
attracted a lot more and I I'm

428
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:56,700
with you that that opening
scene.

429
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,700
I don't know.
I've watched a lot of NCIS with

430
00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:04,700
my wife to the point where this
movie just feels like an

431
00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:07,300
extended episode of NCIS.
Yeah.

432
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:10,800
You know, with some things
change but that that opening,

433
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,200
you know, oh no.
Here's the mystery.

434
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,800
That the the team's going to
solve the rest of the show, like

435
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,600
that's what that felt like.
And yeah, I don't, I didn't

436
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,200
watch TV in 1992 being, you
know, one to two years old.

437
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,400
So, I don't know if that was a
thing before then, you know,

438
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,000
maybe a Few Good Men set.
The, the stage for all legal

439
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,300
television, dramas for the next
20, 30 years, but it didn't work

440
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:38,800
great for me either.
Yeah, there's definitely I will

441
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,300
say this movie.
I think really is on the

442
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:45,800
Forefront of that, because every
Military Tribunal TV show that

443
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,400
comes after it or even just
courtroom drama like Law & Order

444
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,000
follows this same structure,
right?

445
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,500
Like the murder happens and then
when he Briscoe says something

446
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:58,300
smart-alecky And Dot da Papa,
but like, it's just the way that

447
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:01,700
these things work.
But I think that this is one of

448
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:06,400
those instances where we've had
30 years of copycats come after

449
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,900
this movie.
And so, it's a little unfair to

450
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:13,500
read back into this movie, the
copycats, and, and to hold the

451
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:15,900
copycats copycats against this
movie.

452
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,900
And I think that's where Sorkin
script really really shines.

453
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,400
Because at the end of the day,
this is still 10 times better

454
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,800
than any episode of NCIS of Ever
seen and it's because of that

455
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,500
script.
Yeah easily.

456
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:31,300
And you know you got Tom Cruise
and Jack Nicholson.

457
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:32,900
You got you got Tom?
No.

458
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,200
No offense to Mark Harmon.
But uh, all right so let's go to

459
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,200
break here in just a minute.
But as a send-off to the first

460
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,400
half of the episode and in honor
of Aaron Sorkin Brad, you know,

461
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,300
the script is famous for the.
You can't handle the truth line

462
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,200
but I'm wondering Brad aside
from that line.

463
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:57,500
What is a Doubt line from the
movie for you, because there was

464
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:01,500
at least one for me that as I
was watching it, I was like, oh,

465
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:06,200
that is a good line and, and
wrote it down, just specifically

466
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:11,500
to talk about.
I really love when Galloway

467
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:16,500
comes to talk to to Caffee and
she tells him that she doesn't

468
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:19,700
think he's fit to handle the
defense and he goes, you don't

469
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:22,100
even know me ordinarily.
It takes someone hours to

470
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:24,000
discover.
I'm not fit and Elizabeth.

471
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:30,300
As there's like so many little
moments like that that cruises

472
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:35,100
comic ability just shines and
and I think that it's those

473
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,600
little moments where I really
actually appreciate Demi's and

474
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,700
Tom's chemistry.
But yeah, that was that was one

475
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:43,200
of the lines that stood out to
me.

476
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,900
Well and I think that's really
indicative of the fact that

477
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:48,600
Sorkin is a student of movie
scripts.

478
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Like that is the kind of lining
that Cary Grant would deliver in

479
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,200
Arsenic and Old Lace.
Or, you know what I mean?

480
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,900
Like, in a 1930s screwball
comedy.

481
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:01,200
That's exactly the kind of punch
line you're going for it.

482
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,100
Kind of feels like a billy
Wilder, like Yak lemon, throw a

483
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:08,800
type of thing hundred percent I
think for me there's a line that

484
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,800
is on the more dramatic side but
it's also I guess I don't know

485
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,400
what to call.
What do you call a dramatic

486
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:20,900
punch line Brad and I can't be
going to keep calling it a

487
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:23,800
payoff line because the whole
scene builds to it and it's a

488
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,700
moment.
Between Kevin Pollak and Demi

489
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:30,000
Moore where she asks him.
Why do you hate these guys so

490
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,100
much?
And he goes off, granted, he

491
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:35,100
goes on this rant about like,
they, they have Dishonored, the

492
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:39,800
Marines and blah, blah blah.
And then she starts walking away

493
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:42,000
and he says, why do you like
them so much?

494
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,100
And again, it's like this is,
this is like the formula for how

495
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:49,800
to write a script so much, so
that like in anyone else's

496
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,800
hands, this scene would be
excruciating Lee bad, but he

497
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,500
says, You like them so much and
she Wheels around and just looks

498
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:01,200
at him in the eyes and says,
because they stand on a wall and

499
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,600
say, Nothing's Gonna Hurt you
tonight, not on my watch, and

500
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,500
then she walks away and I was
like, holy shit, what an

501
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:13,300
incredible line.
Like, that's the kind of line

502
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,800
that someone delivers and you're
like, Demi Moore.

503
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,700
I don't think you're great in
this movie, but if you wanted a

504
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:21,900
campaign for an Oscar, that's
your Oscar clip right there.

505
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:23,500
Yeah.
That's exactly what that line is

506
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:24,800
for.
And It works.

507
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:29,100
Can I ask you though?
And you know obviously things

508
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:32,300
were different between Cuba and
the u.s. in 1992 than they are

509
00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:39,700
now was the premise believable.
Because I feel like they just

510
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:45,200
constantly like build it up,
like Nathan are Jessup.

511
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,700
And at the very least, I believe
that he believes this.

512
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,500
But like they believe that
nuclear Armageddon could ensue

513
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:58,000
if they don't properly, you
know, walk along that wall and

514
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
if he wears his his officer's
uniform then he's going to get

515
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,600
shot by a Cuban and I'm like, I
don't know what things were like

516
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,100
back then but I don't feel Like
the Cubans were just ready to be

517
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:15,000
like, hey, let's go shoot an
American officer and and cause a

518
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,100
war between us and America,
that's a great idea.

519
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,300
Yeah, I'm with you, like I don't
think, you know, especially like

520
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:25,800
post fall of the Berlin wall
and, you know, yeah and

521
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,700
Gorbachev and like, you know,
like the USSR is cooling off.

522
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,900
Cuba is not a threat to America
at this point.

523
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:37,700
However, I think it says, a lot
about what's organist, Trying to

524
00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:43,000
get at with Jessup, right?
That if you're in the military,

525
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:48,100
you have to be convinced that
you are protecting America, from

526
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:51,700
any impending threat, right?
And on this base, the impending

527
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:53,300
threat is right outside, their
Gates.

528
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:57,600
And whether or not it is a is a
legitimate threat Jessup.

529
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,000
Has convinced the people on this
base that it is a legitimate

530
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,700
threat.
And I think his his sway over

531
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:10,400
everyone Underneath Him.
Is crucial to the premise of the

532
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,800
movie.
Like The Code, Red doesn't

533
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,300
happen if those guys aren't 100%
on board with what Jessup is

534
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:18,500
selling.
So for me, like, even if the

535
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:22,400
lake geopolitical aspect of it
doesn't work so much.

536
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:26,400
I think what it all boils down
to still does.

537
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:29,400
Well, I guess and that was kind
of my question that in the end.

538
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Like do you think that Sorkin
tried to keep that reality as a

539
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,200
premise to make, you know,
Jessup appear more?

540
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:38,600
Lionel.
Hmm.

541
00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:43,100
Oh, good, like, like, like
Brando in Apocalypse Now?

542
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,200
Kind of, yeah, honestly, yeah,
tell me that.

543
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,700
There's not certain.
I don't know comparisons between

544
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:51,300
Brando and head.
That's true.

545
00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:53,900
Because you, I mean, you could
have just as easily set this on

546
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:57,000
a base that was closer to Russia
or closer.

547
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,700
Know, you know, you know, we're
in Desert Storm at this point,

548
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,400
right?
So why not send it overseas?

549
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,600
I think that would make more
sense.

550
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,400
But yeah, that's a good point.
I think, I think maybe you're

551
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,300
onto something there.
Well, I think we need to get

552
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:12,900
onto this Nomad whiskey Bob.
Dude, I cannot wait.

553
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:16,000
Let's get to it some whiskey
Nation.

554

00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:21,600
whiskey and watch movies which
means that, you know, that

556
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,400
nothing is validated until a
group of random people say, hey,

557
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:27,600
we love what you're doing.
The awesome thing about doc

558
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,800

00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:26,900
All right, so today we are
checking out, Nomad Outland,

576
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:29,900
whiskey Brad.
This is a bottle that I picked

577
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:35,200
up when my family took a little
weekend vacation, to the Finger

578
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,900
Lakes and we were, you know, all
over New York State and up in

579
00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:43,600
the Buffalo area and I happen to
stop into a liquor store that

580
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,600
had this on the shelf and it is
one of the coolest looking

581
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,900
bottles in my collection now.
And then I looked at the bottom

582
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:51,600
of the it and it was $35 and I
said, you know what, I don't

583
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,400
know.
A thing about this, I'm just

584
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,400
going to take a chance and I
bought it and it has been

585
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,800
sitting on my shelf for about a
year, have not cracked it yet

586
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,100
and so we're drinking this
together in.

587
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:02,600
This is the first that I've had
of it.

588
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,800
I gave you a full half of this
bottle, which is unlike me

589
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,699
because I try to hoard my
whiskey and not share with you,

590
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:12,500
but I gave you half of it.
So I'm hoping that it's really,

591
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:16,000
really good.
This is a blended Scotch whisky,

592
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:21,199
it's a blend of over 30 malt,
and In Scotch whiskies Blended

593
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:24,300
by the master blender from White
and Makai named Richard

594
00:34:24,300 --> 00:34:27,800
Patterson, who's like a really,
really famous, whiskey blender.

595
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:30,000
Like, if you look up anything on
YouTube, if you just type in

596
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,600
whiskey blending, he's the first
guy that comes up on there.

597
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:36,600
And so, this is, this is a
product of this master blender.

598
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:41,000
And it's aged 45 years in Sherry
butts and then it is shipped

599
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,600
over to Spain and aged for an
additional year in PX casks.

600
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,900
So, this is like extra extra
Sherry finished.

601
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,600
Scotch.
I'm pretty pumped about it, man.

602
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:55,300
Why do you think that they call
it Sherry butts, but everything

603
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,600
else, it's barrels.
Well, so it has to do with the

604
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,200
size of the barrel.
First of all, like a butt is a

605
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,600
particular size of barrel.
Yeah.

606
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,900
When you get into like, reading
about different casks, it's

607
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:08,100
really interesting because the
shapes are slightly different.

608
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:12,400
The volumes are different.
I know that Laphroaig makes a

609
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,100
variant.
That's called Laphroaig quarter

610
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:17,000
cask, and it's aged in really,
really small.

611
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,900
Barrels that are quarter Cask
sized.

612
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:22,700
So yeah, there's a hole is a
hole terminology that we haven't

613
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:26,300
come up against any butts on
this podcast except for Sherry

614
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:29,700
Sherry butts.
So yeah, I was gonna say I feel

615
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,300
like the only time I ever heard
hear the term but is with

616
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:34,300
Sherry.
So I just figured it was a weird

617
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:38,600
like, layover from ancient term
or something.

618
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,400
Not just, but just but just a
but.

619
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:45,500
All right.
So this is clocking in at 82.6

620
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:47,800
proof.
So pretty, Lo proof, it does

621
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,900
have color added to It, which is
typical for scotches.

622
00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:54,400
Scotch does not make any sort of
Regulation that you can't add

623
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,400
coloration to it.
So it has a really nice almost

624
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,800
bourbon e color to it, but
that's because they've added

625
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,900
some caramel coloring to it.
Brad we have it poured out here

626
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:04,400
in front of us.
What are you picking up on the

627
00:36:04,408 --> 00:36:08,300
nose of this Nomad Outland?
Whiskey man.

628
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:11,600
This is like, incredibly grape
forward.

629
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,900
It almost like to me.
It almost smells like grape

630
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:21,300
drink like like now.
Just grape juice like this kind

631
00:36:21,300 --> 00:36:24,200
of smells like grape drink
plastic jug?

632
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,700
Yeah, let's drink.
Yeah.

633
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:28,500
Yeah, there's a little bit of
cherry.

634
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:32,600
Some orange creamsicle.
I start to get the barley as I

635
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,500
sit with it for a while and then
at the very end I after after

636
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,900
being in the glass for a bit, I
got a little bit of cinnamon

637
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,100
going on.
Just a tiny bit of spiciness

638
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:45,100
that I really enjoyed.
I think, I'll give it an 8 out

639
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:47,100
of 10 on the nose.
Bob, yeah, I'm right there with

640
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:48,900
you.
I think I'm gonna give a 7.5.

641
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,600
Five on the nose, it doesn't
smell like inexpensive blended

642
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,300
Scotch like I literally just had
some Cutty Sark the other night,

643
00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:00,400
and Cutty Sark is phenomenal for
$14.

644
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:04,200
This is not smell like that, and
it may just be that the Sherry

645
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,100
butts have rounded off the sharp
edges of this.

646
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:10,000
But this smells more like in
line with something that we

647
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,700
would try like a Glenmorangie.
You know what I mean?

648
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:16,300
Like it just it just has that
really doesn't like softness and

649
00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:20,600
roundness to it, it's not.
Are complex and it still does

650
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:25,700
smell a little bit flat from
being honest but it smells good.

651
00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:28,000
So I'm gonna give it a seven
point five out of ten.

652
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:32,200
Yeah and then Bob I got into the
taste of this thing.

653
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,100
Bob I'm going to say this this
very very slowly.

654
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:43,100
This is a 10 out of 10 on taste.
This is delicious.

655
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,500
Oh my gosh.
There's like, bro, there's so

656
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:54,200
many layers to this.
So OK, on the tip of my tongue,

657
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:57,100
it is, it's blended Scotch,
right?

658
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:58,500
It's Cutty Sark, it's whatever
you want.

659
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,300
Actually, it probably tastes
closer to an Irish whiskey than

660
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:04,000
a scotch to me.
Like it does really similar to

661
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,400
that Bushmills.
We had a few weeks ago and then

662
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,000
about halfway back on the pallet
you start to get that Sherry

663
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,600
finish coming out pretty
significantly you go to swallow.

664
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,300
I get some like really dark
almost concord grape kind of

665
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:20,700
elements to it and then as soon
as you swallow it is like when

666
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:25,200
you Crack open a fresh bag of
brown sugar dark brown sugar.

667
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:29,000
And it's just like, Hey, do you
remember bourbon?

668
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,600
Here's a reminder of bourbon at
the very end of this Sherry

669
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,200
finished scotch, and it's just a
wave of brown sugar.

670
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:42,700
And then, like, like pure maple
syrup for me, it is a fantastic

671
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:45,000
dude.
It's absolutely incredible for

672
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,700
me.
What stuck with me was how like,

673
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:53,700
on my lips, my lips tasted like,
Like a cherry candy like like a

674
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:57,900
cherry cordial.
The flavor that sticks around

675
00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:00,400
his incredible.
There's all sorts of brown sugar

676
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,900
on the back end.
Like you said, there's those

677
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:06,400
hints of barley that hit you
throughout that remind you that

678
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,200
this is a scotch and and not
like in a bad way like it's

679
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,400
like, hey here's like a pallet
of sweets and there's this nice

680
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,200
little Foundation of barley
underneath that.

681
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,800
That holds it all together, I
think.

682
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:22,500
This is an incredible palette
Bob.

683
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:24,900
Wow, this is I just poured a
second poor of this.

684
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:28,600
That's how much I liked it.
And once you taste it, you know,

685
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:30,900
I mean, it's like an obvious
thing to say, but like now that

686
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:33,600
I've tasted the brown sugar, I'm
going back to the nose and

687
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,500
there's brown sugar all over the
nose on this now.

688
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,900
Like it is man, this is good.
Let's talk finish here.

689
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,300
The Finish is not, I don't know
what the word is.

690
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:47,100
Its long-lasting, it's very,
very sweet.

691
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:50,100
It's like candy, sweet.
There's no chest burn at all

692
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:52,800
going down for me.
So like, there's not much of a

693
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,700
reminder that you had whiskey in
terms of, like, alcohol burn.

694
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,900
Yeah.
But the the Finish is very

695
00:39:58,900 --> 00:40:01,300
mouth-watering.
I wouldn't call it super long.

696
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:04,700
I definitely call it like a more
medium finish, but if you like

697
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:08,600
sweet Whiskey's, the way that I
do, this is like a dream finish

698
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,800
for an 82 proof whiskey.
I think I'm going to give it to

699
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:12,800
me.
Give it a 9 out of 10 on the

700
00:40:12,808 --> 00:40:15,500
finished bread.
Yeah, I'll give it an eight and

701
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:17,500
a half.
I think that, like I said, The

702
00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:20,800
Barley kind of sticks around.
There's some orange it.

703
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:23,600
It's creamy.
It goes back into that really

704
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,100
heavy grape drink flavor and
then it's almost like a burnt

705
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:30,200
sugar.
Almost like a creme brulee.

706
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:34,900
Yeah that is just beautiful the
way it sticks around.

707
00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:39,900
And I, yeah, man.
I I'm in love with this whiskey,

708
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:41,700
man.
I'm going to see his now, dude.

709
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:44,600
I like and I'm sorry to
interrupt you but this may not

710
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:49,000
be if all that, if all else is
equal this may not be the best

711
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
whiskey we have this season, you
know?

712
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,700
I mean like I wouldn't rank this
up there with like the best

713
00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:57,200
btech we've ever had.
Hmm But we're going to get to

714
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,500
Value in a minute but even
setting that aside, this may end

715
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:04,800
up being my favorite whiskey of
the season because I just tried

716
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,700
it knowing nothing.
Out it and I can already say I

717
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:13,300
am trying to find a bottle of it
now so that I can continue to

718
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:17,300
have this on my shelf whenever I
run out of this like from now on

719
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:20,500
as long as I can find it there
will be a bottle of this Whiskey

720
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:23,700
on my shelf.
Yeah I I'm with you 100%.

721
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:27,000
It kind of reminds me of like
why I like to watch movies

722
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,700
without knowing anything about
them where you're like yeah you

723
00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:33,400
look at the bottom you're like
sure blended Scotch.

724
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,300
Let's try it.
Pinion 0px finished.

725
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:35,900
Great.
Eight.

726
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,900
Oh my gosh Bobby.
Yeah this is this is great.

727
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,300
I think balance score.
I'm going to give it an 8 out of

728
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:44,900
10.
The nose and finish are like

729
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:48,600
solid above average but it's
paired with one of the best

730
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,300
pallets I've ever had.
And so I think it's pretty easy

731
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:55,900
to say that even though this is
an incredibly complex whiskey

732
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
and I think that kind of bumps
the score down a tiny bit as

733
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,500
well.
You like once you've tasted it

734
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:05,100
you know what you're getting and
it's it's incredible man.

735
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,200
Yeah, I You think just because
of that fact, I'm going to give

736
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,000
this a nine and a half on
balance.

737
00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:13,600
So the only thing that stood out
to me as being lesser than the

738
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,300
rest of it is the nose, but it's
not because the nose was the, I

739
00:42:18,308 --> 00:42:21,500
think I said flat the first time
around and I think that I would

740
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:25,000
probably amend that to say, it's
almost like it was playing its

741
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,100
cards.
Really close to the chest or

742
00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:31,100
close to the vest, whatever the
the saying is like, it seems

743
00:42:31,100 --> 00:42:35,000
like it was trying to not give
itself away when you go back for

744
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
a second.
Nosing of this, everything

745
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,100
that's on the palate is there.
And it's just beautiful man.

746
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,100
Like I think this is a superbly.
Well, balanced whiskey.

747
00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:48,000
It's a 9 and a half for me and
that takes us to value.

748
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,500
Now, unfortunately, this is not
for sale in the state of Ohio.

749
00:42:53,700 --> 00:42:55,900
So I know, right?
So we have to look elsewhere.

750
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,400
And this is selling at weird
price points, all around the

751
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,300
internet.
So I saw this for sale as high

752
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:05,200
as $200 somewhere, which is
outrageous.

753
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Which leads me to believe that
maybe this has been

754
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,200
discontinued.
And I certainly hope not because

755
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,900
I need to get it for the rest of
my life.

756
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:14,900
But in the places, where I'm
actually seeing it in stock,

757
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:18,100
like, I'm looking at some
binney's locations out in the

758
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:20,500
Chicagoland area.
It looks like it's about 40

759
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:22,300
bucks there.
And like I said, I got it last

760
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:26,300
year in New York for $36.
So, I mean, let's just call it

761
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:28,600
40 bucks.
If you can find this anywhere

762
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,300
near you, I expect that you
would be paying around.

763
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:35,600
Forty dollars retail for this,
this is a 10/10 Brad, I have.

764
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:39,500
Nothing else to say like it's
just I can't think of a better

765
00:43:39,500 --> 00:43:43,500
40 dollar whiskey than this.
Yeah, yeah, this is insane value

766
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:46,700
in the world of scotch ten out
of ten for me.

767
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:51,100
Bob, that brings my total to a
44.5 out of 50.

768
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,900
I'm going to 46 out of 50.
This is one of the highest rated

769
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:57,300
whiskeys I've ever had on this
show.

770
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,900
That brings us to a 90.5 out of
100.

771
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,200
We finally hit the 90 Mark Again
Brad.

772
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:09,100
Hey let's go for a 45. 825 out
of 50, dude.

773
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:11,500
I'm so happy.
I had no idea what this was

774
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:13,600
going to be.
Like I had never heard it like

775
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:15,800
bread.
We've had so much whiskey and

776
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,800
I'm on Whiskey Instagram all the
time.

777
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:21,700
I have never seen this bottle.
I have never heard of this

778
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:24,300
bottle.
This was a complete bind Blind.

779
00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:26,900
By, to be honest, I gave you
half of it because I was

780
00:44:26,900 --> 00:44:29,700
worried, it would suck and I
wanted to move, I wanted to move

781
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:32,800
some product off my shelf.
It's phenomenal.

782
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:34,600
I can't recommend this highly
enough.

783
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,800
Yeah, go Go find a bottle of
nomad Outland.

784
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,300
It is spectacular.
Whiskey.

785
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:43,500
That honestly, you should pull
out and drink while you're

786
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:46,100
watching A Few Good Men.
A spectacular movie.

787
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,900
Well, let's get back into
talking about that movie.

788
00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:50,000
Brad, what do you say?
Let's get to it.

789
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:56,300
Bob All right, everybody, that
was Nomad Outland.

790
00:44:56,300 --> 00:45:00,300
Whiskey finished in heaven.
I think?

791
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,700
Yeah, for sure, that was Brad.
Like, I have lost my ability to

792
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:11,500
speak in a coherent way.
Well, hopefully that continues

793
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,000
as we get into two facts in a
false issue, facts, and a

794
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,000
falsehood where Brad tries to
stump Me by presenting three

795
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,300
items.
As fact, one of which he has

796
00:45:21,300 --> 00:45:23,200
completely made up and it is up
to me.

797
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,900
Decide which of these facts is
actually a falsehood.

798
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,400
I feel like when you get it
wrong, I need to just be like,

799
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,700
boom stumped, lawyered below
yer'd.

800
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:35,800
All right.
Brad, hit me with your three

801
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,400
facts.
Supposed facts about A Few Good

802
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,400
Men.
Alrighty Bob fact, number one

803
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,100
and unnamed executive gave Aaron
Sorkin this note.

804
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:47,500
If Tom Cruise in Demi Moore
aren't going to sleep with each

805
00:45:47,500 --> 00:45:50,200
other.
Why is Demi Moore a woman he

806
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,200
responded?
I said the obvious answer women.

807
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:56,000
In had purposes other than to
sleep with Tom Cruise.

808
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:01,400
Fax number two with Jack
Nicholson only being on set for

809
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,400
10 days Reiner one to make sure
that the final bits of the trial

810
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,300
scene were perfect.
So he shot those scenes right

811
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:13,300
away, making it the first scenes
shot in the movie fact.

812
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:19,800
Number three, the word sir is
used 164 times during the movie

813
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,700
which makes it an average of
once every 50 seconds.

814
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,400
I think three is true.
I mean those two marines, say

815
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,300
Sir all the freaking time and I
was as annoyed with it as Tom

816
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:35,900
Cruise was once a day they use,
they use that word.

817
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,700
So with such versatility.
Yeah, to express contempt,

818
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,000
respect disappointment,
frustrate like it's incredible.

819
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,900
One also sounds plausible to I
mean obviously sounds like it

820
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:54,000
could be plausible but I don't
know if I don't know if

821
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:56,800
Nicholson was available at the
start of the shoot.

822
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:00,200
Like I'm sure that they spent
the majority of his time

823
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,400
shooting those scenes but like
was that the first thing in the

824
00:47:02,408 --> 00:47:04,800
whole movie that was shot.
I don't know.

825
00:47:07,300 --> 00:47:10,500
I'm going to say one is true.
I'm going to assume three is

826
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:12,500
true so I'll say to is the
falsehood here.

827
00:47:12,500 --> 00:47:15,600
Brad.
Bob you are 100% correct.

828
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,900
Yeah.
You handled the truth.

829
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:24,300
Yes I did.
Oh man, that was well that was a

830
00:47:24,308 --> 00:47:26,700
really relatively painless one
today.

831
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,700
Yeah, that was good.
Going back to your comment about

832
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:33,900
the two Marines saying, Sir with
so much contempt and everything

833
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:36,400
else.
My other favorite part of this

834
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,200
movie.
Is right at the end when Tom

835
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,200
Cruise has finally won the
respect of the one guy and he

836
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,400
turns around and salutes him and
then says he says ten-hut

837
00:47:47,900 --> 00:47:52,300
there's an officer on deck that
like I'm not gonna lie, I cried

838
00:47:52,300 --> 00:47:56,500
a little bit oh dude it's so
cheesy so cheesy.

839
00:47:56,500 --> 00:47:58,900
I don't know why it was so
effective because I was like

840
00:47:58,900 --> 00:48:02,400
this is this is horrible this is
what they teach you not to do in

841
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,100
screen writing classes but also
you know what, it reminded me of

842
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:10,200
is that famous In in To Kill a
Mockingbird which, which Sorkin

843
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,800
has now done an adaptation of,
and, yeah, it's been running on

844
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,800
Broadway for like the last year
year to nice.

845
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,400
But, you know, when when the the
Reverend says to Scout and Jem,

846
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,700
you know, stand up your father's
passing and it's just like, wow,

847
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,500
what a line right there, this is
his version of that.

848
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:30,400
And for me, as cheesy as it is,
it works.

849
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,500
I was going to say, at the very
start of this episode, you

850
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:36,800
mentioned how this movie is like
an eight and a half.

851
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,700
Laughs and then the final bits
of the courtroom scene are just

852
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:43,700
they just take it to a whole
nother level and it honestly

853
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:47,500
made me think of To Kill a
Mockingbird which made me start

854
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:52,800
wondering are all courtroom
movies average until the very

855
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,500
end and there's something about
either Justice being served or

856
00:48:57,500 --> 00:49:01,900
like a miscarriage of justice
that just hits at the human soul

857
00:49:01,900 --> 00:49:05,200
in a way that most movies don't.
I think there's just something

858
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,800
so inherently dramatic.
About the courtroom, right?

859
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,200
This is my Law and Order Works
Law and Order wouldn't work if

860
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,400
it was called order in law.
Like if if, if the courtroom

861
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,200
stuff came first and then the
police investigative stuff was

862
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,000
the second part of the episode
that show would suck.

863
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,500
Like there's something about
watching people in a confined

864
00:49:24,500 --> 00:49:28,000
space argue with each other and
build a case.

865
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,000
And and it builds this mounting
tension to the point where

866
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,100
there's some sort of a Smoking
Gun and they say ha and that's

867
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:35,600
how the person gets found out
right.

868
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,200
Like there there's Just
something and maybe it's just

869
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,000
because I'm a dad now and this
is like perfect dad movie

870
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:47,200
fodder, but I will never say no
to a well-made courtroom drama.

871
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,000
Yeah I think that it just has a
certain.

872
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:58,300
There's just a reality that
humans like resolution and like

873
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:03,600
a gavel being banged on the on
the judges, you know, whatever.

874
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:04,900
Whatever.
It's what do they call?

875
00:50:04,900 --> 00:50:06,800
The thing that you bang it on?
This is called a block.

876
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,200
Isn't it a block?
The gavel being, you know, just

877
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,500
hammered onto the bottle being
gobbled?

878
00:50:13,900 --> 00:50:20,500
The being gaveled the gavel of
nations of the film is going.

879
00:50:20,500 --> 00:50:24,200
We're facing up.
Yeah, I gotta say, is when the

880
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:29,600
movie finally ends and the
sentence is red and the gavel is

881
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:33,300
hammered.
Like it's just there's something

882
00:50:33,300 --> 00:50:36,600
about that.
That feels so satisfying and

883
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,300
there.
The finality of it is is just

884
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:42,500
good for the human soul and I
think that's why courtroom

885
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:45,700
dramas just work.
All right, speaking of other

886
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:47,300
lines that are really great in
this movie.

887
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:52,600
That last line, that Tom Cruise
says to Jack Nicholson where he

888
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,200
just says, don't call me son,
I'm a lawyer and I'm an officer

889
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,500
in the United States.
Navy at you're under arrest, you

890
00:50:58,500 --> 00:51:01,800
son of a bitch.
Like, it is so good.

891
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:06,500
It's amazing in that moment.
He's been fighting.

892
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:10,900
No, being a lawyer for the
military, the entire movie.

893
00:51:10,900 --> 00:51:14,300
And he finally like stands up to
the occasion, realizes who he is

894
00:51:14,300 --> 00:51:20,600
and just delivers that line with
such tenacity and oh, dude, it's

895
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,200
so good.
All right, Brad, it's time for

896
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,800
us to make this a double.
I think we've already kind of

897
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,100
hinted it.
That two movies.

898
00:51:27,100 --> 00:51:28,400
That would be really, really
good.

899
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:29,900
Pairings to go with a Few Good
Men.

900
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:32,900
Do you want to stick with To
Kill a Mockingbird or do you

901
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:34,700
have something else in mind?
Oh no.

902
00:51:34,700 --> 00:51:36,900
Bob, do I have something else in
mind?

903
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:44,400
In mind I have another courtroom
drama from the year 1992 about a

904
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,700
lawyer who has never actually
practiced law in the courtroom.

905
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:51,100
Do you know what movie I'm
talking about?

906
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:58,600
I do not.
My, My Cousin Vinny Vinny is a

907
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,100
this with My Cousin Vinny Bob.
It's a great movie.

908
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,100
Like, there's nothing to be
ashamed of.

909
00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:05,200
I mean, this is, that's an
oscar-winning film.

910
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,100
Yeah, it sure is that.
It's Joe Pesci.

911
00:52:08,100 --> 00:52:11,300
Just being perfect, being Joe
Pesci.

912
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,900
Yeah, I also love that it's like
Joe Pesci in Peak to pay mode.

913
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:22,000
Oh yeah, you know, yes.
That's a great pick.

914
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:25,000
I think I am going to pair this
with Shawshank and it's for a

915
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,900
lot of reasons.
I think one of them being that

916
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,900
this has that episodic feel to
it, that it's a perfect cable

917
00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:35,300
movie where every 20 minutes you
take a little break, there's

918
00:52:35,300 --> 00:52:37,700
there's a, there's a nice little
button on the end of the scene,

919
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,400
that's a great line.
And, you know, they say that

920
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,000
line and then you go to
commercial break and you come

921
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,000
back and you're in another
location, it just it works that

922
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,700
way, it has that very early to
mid-90s feel to it and I know

923
00:52:49,700 --> 00:52:53,500
that like, Nothing I'm saying is
really tangible or substantial,

924
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:56,600
but these movies just have a
really similar vibe to them

925
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:02,200
right down to how in Shawshank,
you know, Morgan, Freeman's

926
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,700
narration doesn't really sound
like how people actually talk.

927
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:09,700
They sound like how people talk
in the movies and I think

928
00:53:09,700 --> 00:53:12,800
there's something to be said
about a movie that is

929
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,400
self-aware.
Enough to know how people talk

930
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,300
in the movies and Sorkin does it
so.

931
00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:22,100
So, well, here, and for all the
problems, I Was Shawshank like I

932
00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:24,200
think it's a really good movie.
I don't know if it's like a

933
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,400
great great movie, it does that
really well?

934
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,500
And so I think that watching
this and Shawshank back-to-back

935
00:53:30,500 --> 00:53:33,400
would just be one of those.
Hey, I'm gonna watch two movies

936
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,600
in a row that are like
guaranteed to be a 9 out of 10

937
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,600
experience and I'm just going to
fully Embrace dad mode on a

938
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,100
Saturday afternoon, in the fall,
watching AMC or whatever it is.

939
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,700
And I think you'd have a good
time if I had to give Shawshank

940
00:53:48,700 --> 00:53:50,500
a, let's make it a double I
think I do.

941
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,700
To go with Green Mile.
Well, sure.

942
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:55,900
I feel like those two movies at
the same movie, but just

943
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:58,400
slightly different.
I mean, same director, same

944
00:53:58,400 --> 00:53:59,500
author.
Yeah.

945
00:53:59,500 --> 00:54:01,700
It's they really are the same
movie.

946
00:54:02,300 --> 00:54:03,800
I'd honestly didn't know that.
Yeah.

947
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,800
All I knew is that I'd seen them
both and felt like they were the

948
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,100
same movie.
Yeah, definitely.

949
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:09,200
I mean, they're both Stephen
King.

950
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,300
I gotta adaptations by Frank
Darabont like, there you go.

951
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,200
Yep, it's me.
Not going back to our thing

952
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,700
about Scorsese making the same
movie over and over.

953
00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:21,700
Nailed it.
All right, so those are our two

954
00:54:21,700 --> 00:54:23,300
picks for let's make it a
double.

955
00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:25,800
I like them both man and you
could throw in To Kill a

956
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,000
Mockingbird and and and make it
a triple I guess.

957
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,700
Yeah.
I if you want to spend like

958
00:54:32,300 --> 00:54:36,500
eight hours nine hours, watching
courtroom dramas just three

959
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:39,100
courtroom dramas the That's it
man.

960
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:41,900
All right, Brad, it's time for
our final scores.

961
00:54:42,300 --> 00:54:45,900
I'm wavering between a nine and
a nine and a half because this,

962
00:54:45,900 --> 00:54:49,400
not a perfect movie, and there
are parts of it where I'm like,

963
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,600
this is not even real.
Great movie and certain

964
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,200
characters are just caricatures.
And there are many many times

965
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:59,500
where the dialogue is cheesy,
and yet it just works.

966
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,600
I don't know that I would put
this in like my top 100 American

967
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,300
movies ever but I would
definitely put it in the best

968
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:08,500
screenplays ever written.
It's like an airtight

969
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:10,500
screenplay.
And if we're going to say that

970
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:15,200
we love dialogue by people like
Billy Wilder who know how people

971
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,300
talk in the movies and not in
real life.

972
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,600
Sorkin's really, really damn
good at that and It is a prime

973
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,500
example.
I think I'm going to give it a 9

974
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:25,600
and a half out of ten Brad man.
Yeah, I think I'm going to give

975
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,300
it a 9 out of 10 for most of the
movie.

976
00:55:28,300 --> 00:55:30,600
I was I was sitting around in 88
and a half.

977
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:36,300
Those final few scenes man, just
rocketed up to a nine and a half

978
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,800
and then there's the the officer
on debt ten-hut and that brings

979
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,700
it back down to nine for me.
So yeah, let it sit, let it be

980
00:55:44,700 --> 00:55:48,000
known, let it be known this
Veterans Day filmin, whiskey

981
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Nation.
That somebody saluting an

982
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,400
officer in the United States.
Navy is something that Brad

983
00:55:56,500 --> 00:56:01,300
dings holds against the film.
Yeah, it's an automatic Half

984
00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:06,400
Point deduction saluting
saluting an officer boo.

985
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,100
I think, at this point filmin,
whiskey Nation knows that if

986
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:13,900
there's anybody who has respect
for our military Bob, it's me,

987
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:15,900
it's Bob book.
Definitely gonna be me.

988
00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:18,600
All right.
Well, we just want to say

989
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,000
Veterans.
Day is this Friday?

990
00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:21,900
Day.
And we do want to thank anyone

991
00:56:21,900 --> 00:56:24,500
in our audience.
Who is a veteran who has served

992
00:56:24,500 --> 00:56:28,900
in any capacity in the armed
forces, this is a movie that I

993
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:31,900
think on its surface, Brad might
seem like a weird pick for

994
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:35,200
Veterans Day.
Like, I mean seriously, that's

995
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,700
like the way it's all over, but
it doesn't though because it's I

996
00:56:38,707 --> 00:56:41,500
mean, it's I'm trying to make a
serious point.

997
00:56:41,500 --> 00:56:44,600
Like I think that it's also a
movie about what it means to

998
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,000
have integrity in an institution
like the military.

999
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,000
And if you look at it from the
point of view of somebody like,

1000
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,300
Cruz who earns the respect of
everybody around him by

1001
00:56:53,300 --> 00:56:56,500
understanding what it actually
means to be an officer in the

1002
00:56:56,508 --> 00:56:59,200
military.
Like, I think that it is, I

1003
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,100
don't know, I think it's a
really effective movie and maybe

1004
00:57:02,100 --> 00:57:05,400
I'll leave it at that as you
continue to crap on our Armed

1005
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:11,000
Forces, I have not crapping on
armed forces, I if anything I

1006
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:16,000
think that Sorkin probably is,
you know, just taking a guess at

1007
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,900
people who live in the world of
New York, you know, Broadway.

1008
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:22,600
And l.a.
Hollywood, I'm guessing he's

1009
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:27,600
left of center to put it nicely.
Now, I would imagine that he

1010
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:32,100
wrote this movie with a bent
against a certain type of person

1011
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:35,100
in the military, maybe not
against the whole military, you

1012
00:57:35,100 --> 00:57:39,100
know, who knows?
I'm not in the guy's head, but I

1013
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:45,100
personally would think that he
meant this as a scathing polemic

1014
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,300
against certain types of people
in the military.

1015
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:52,100
And I don't know if he gets, It
totally right because I don't

1016
00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:55,300
know if there's very many
Colonel Nathan R jessup's out

1017
00:57:55,300 --> 00:57:57,600
there but I could be wrong.
Maybe there are maybe our

1018
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,300
military friends can call in and
be like now he he kind of hit

1019
00:58:00,300 --> 00:58:03,400
the nail on the head, who knows?
Man, I think this is a great

1020
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,500
question to ask our audience.
When you watch this movie, do

1021
00:58:06,500 --> 00:58:11,800
you view this movie more as in,
Praise of the people who stick

1022
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:17,000
up for the little guy or a movie
that is intending to condemn

1023
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,500
those in power.
And I think the way Way that you

1024
00:58:20,500 --> 00:58:23,000
answer, that question, really
does inform how you watch this

1025
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,900
movie.
And so I'd like to hear from

1026
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:27,800
filmin, whiskey Nation on that.

1035
00:58:55,700 --> 00:59:00,400
Reiner into another genre yet
again, we're going back a few

1036
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,700
years into the 1980s to look at
a movie that a lot of people say

1037
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,100
as a perfect script and that is
William Goldman's The Princess

1038
00:59:09,100 --> 00:59:11,000
Bride.
So we'll be watching that next

1039
