Season 10 Bracket Challenge (Part 2): Chaos & Coin Flips

The bracket chaos continues.

In Part 2 of the Film & Whiskey Season 10 Bracket Challenge, Bob and Brad take the field from 16 films down to four—and things get messy fast. What starts as thoughtful film debate quickly spirals into coin flips, upsets, and pure cinematic anarchy.

Along the way, the guys go head-to-head on legendary matchups like Vertigo vs. Star Wars, Pulp Fiction vs. Rear Window, and Casablanca vs. Singin’ in the Rain—all while sipping mystery whiskies pulled from the depths of Bob’s cabinet.

It’s film theory vs. vibes. Structure vs. chaos. And somehow… Star Wars might break the bracket.

Think you can build a better bracket?

1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,280
Today on the Film and Whiskey
podcast, we are continuing the

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,080
season 10 bracket and apparently
we're drinking some surprise

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,760
whiskeys as well.
That's all ahead on Film and

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:34,520
Whiskey.
Well, hey there everybody.

5
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,120
Welcome into the Film and
Whiskey Podcast.

6
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,640
I'm Bob Book.
I'm Brad.

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,720
Gee.
And Brad, we are coming at Film

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,560
and Whiskey Nation with another
special bonus episode.

9
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,760
Bonus episode.
I love it, man.

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Because this is Part 2 of the
Season 10 Bracket challenge.

11
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,000
Folks, if this is your first
time joining us, why?

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Why is this the one you chose?
Part 2 of the Season 10 bracket.

13
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,680
I have to give so much context
to catch you up.

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,320
I'd recommend just just press
stop, go back one episode and

15
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,000
let past Bob give you that
context.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Because folks, we want to dive
right in.

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Today.
We started with 32 movies.

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,760
We only got down to 16 last time
around, and today we're trying

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,080
to go from 16 through the round
of eight and get down to just

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,280
our final four films.
So we have a lot of picks to do.

21
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,680
Brad suggested drinking some
whiskey.

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,120
Folks, I'll be honest with you,
nobody has sent us any new

23
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,080
whiskeys to review in a while.
So he said we should just grab

24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,440
something off our shelves and
and try it out.

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440
So Brad, what did you pick to
sip on tonight as we get into

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,400
this bracket?
As a true whiskey drinker in

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,280
America ought to do.
I'm drinking Scotch, Bob.

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,080
I'm drinking Tam.
Do 12 comes in this fancy box.

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,880
I want to see you like just open
the lid of the box and take the

30
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,800
cork out, but not take it
out-of-the-box and just pour it

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,920
still in taste.
In the box, it's just like that

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,400
is that is how I pour my whiskey
when it when it comes in a box.

33
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,440
I believe I am also drinking
Scotch bread, though I can't say

34
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,120
for sure.
So a year or two ago, our friend

35
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Zach Johnston gave us a whole
bunch of whiskeys to try.

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,160
We were very eager about trying
a lot of them on the show.

37
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,880
I have now accepted that we will
simply never, I might not never

38
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,800
drink these whiskeys as long as
I live, Brad.

39
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,400
But yeah, I spent a long time
cataloging these whiskeys, and

40
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,520
there were these tiny little
vials amongst the whiskeys that

41
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,400
look like this.
If you're on the Patreon, you

42
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,360
can see how small these things
are.

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,040
They're very tiny and they are,
they're kind of Scotch colored.

44
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400
Like they're pretty clear.
There's not much color to them

45
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,120
and there is no label on them
except on the very bottom.

46
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Some of them have tiny, tiny
letters.

47
00:02:52,520 --> 00:03:00,160
One says GC1 says FB1 says PC,
and one just says B.

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,480
And I've believe me dude, I've
tried Googling it.

49
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,640
I don't.
I have no idea what this is.

50
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:08,560
So I'm trying 4 mystery liquids
tonight Brad.

51
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,480
And that's all I know at this
point.

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,080
OK, we're going to ask ChatGPT
about this.

53
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,280
Bob, What?
What are the labels again?

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,520
FBTC one just says.
BB.

55
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,040
And.
GCGC.

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,600
All right, let's see what.
ChatGPT says it's going to be

57
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,160
wrong.
It's going to pull a whole bunch

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,080
of stuff out of its butt here.
No, ChatGPT can never be wrong,

59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,640
Bob.
All right, Short answer, those

60
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
letter codes alone aren't enough
to confidently identify a Scotch

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,840
brand, but we can make some
educated guesses.

62
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,920
Nope, PC could be port.
Charlotte.

63
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,520
I do like Port Charlotte, yeah.
If it's a heavily peded line, it

64
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,800
might be the bruclotic B could.
Be so that might be.

65
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,480
More Oh yeah.
Or B could, yeah.

66
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,760
GC.
Yeah.

67
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,040
Probably wouldn't be Glenn
Morgan.

68
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,320
Glenn something.
Yeah, Glenn.

69
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,960
Yeah, it's gotta be Glenn.
Something it.

70
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,480
Has to be like one big Scotch
producer that owns a lot of

71
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,200
brands and it's like all their
brands but.

72
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,480
Yeah, I don't know, probably.
It's probably $1000 whiskey and

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,079
I have no idea.
In any case, Brad, we're not

74
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:22,079
here to really talk about the
whiskey much tonight at all.

75
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,520
We're here to talk about our
bracket.

76
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000
And folks, if you are watching
on the Patreon, I'm gonna share

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200
my screen for a second so you
can see where we're at in the

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,760
film and whiskey bracket.
And here we are, man.

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
We are entering the round of 16
here.

80
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,040
Brad.
I think we should just go ahead

81
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:43,280
and dive right in.
We've got our number one overall

82
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:47,080
seed, Vertigo, going up against
Brad's favorite movie of all

83
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,120
time, the number 16 seed Star
Wars.

84
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,800
Over to you, Brad.
Break this one down for me.

85
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,160
Man O man, Vertigo all time
classic Bob.

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:06,240
I mean it is just I would say
the epitome of like Hitchcockian

87
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,080
mystery and colors and the
blocking in the movie is beyond

88
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,080
spectacular.
I like, I remember watching

89
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Vertigo as a teenager for the
first time and like having

90
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,200
nightmares being terrified.
It was like a a truly horrifying

91
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,920
movie.
Great great film.

92
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,200
Star Wars, maybe the most
impactful movie ever released on

93
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,960
the history of cinema.
Tell me I'm wrong, Bob.

94
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,280
I mean, it's close, definitely
close, man.

95
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:39,680
Yeah.
Listen, this was easy for me.

96
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,760
Vertigo's moving on in the Bob
book bracket.

97
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Now I, I will say I'm looking at
your vibes based list, your

98
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,520
heart rankings, and Star Wars is
your #2 film Vertigo's number 3.

99
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,720
So this really is as easy as you
might make it sound to move Star

100
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,040
Wars on here, and this is a
pretty close call for you, I

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,360
would think.
Dude Vertigo's is one of my

102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,480
favorite movies of all time.
Definitely on my it's probably

103
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,880
in my like 5th to 10th favorite
movie of all time.

104
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,360
I don't know if Star Wars
Episode 4 is quite that high.

105
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,280
So like vibes for Star Wars is
higher.

106
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,360
I think overall though, if I had
to rank my top 10 movies of all

107
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,600
time, I think Vertigo might be
higher on that list.

108
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,480
I am going to move Vertigo on I,
I.

109
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,720
Think it's.
I think it's.

110
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,920
The right decision.
Do you feel pressured to do this

111
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,760
like I?
Don't feel pressured.

112
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Honestly, if I feel anything,
Bob, I feel pressured to choose

113
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,040
Star Wars just for the chaos,
because I just for the point of

114
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,680
view.
I feel like, you know the one,

115
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,400
the number one seed getting
defeated by the 16 would never

116
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520
happen in any other bracket.
I'm picking Star Wars.

117
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,720
Star Wars is moving on, Bob.
Dude, and just just for that, I

118
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,200
have poured out a whole vial of
PC for you my friend.

119
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,040
And I got to say this smells
fantastic.

120
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,080
Brad.
It's it's Granny Smith apple for

121
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,520
days.
I wish you were here to

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,560
experience.
Is it is it Scotch or is it

123
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,680
something else?
I want to say Scotch, Brad.

124
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,320
OK.
You drank a lot.

125
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,280
I was.
Going to say Scotch I trust a

126
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,760
little smoky.
It's.

127
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,160
I'm going to say Scotch.
Watch it be like a mescal or

128
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,840
something.
I have no idea, you know.

129
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,080
Here I will say Film Whiskey
Nation, here's an update for

130
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,880
you.
I did flip the Coin of Destiny

131
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:36,080
about 50 times after our first
bracket episode and I would say

132
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,760
there is a slight lean towards
heads.

133
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760
Now I, I don't know if that
means that it's actually towards

134
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,640
tails 'cause I always flip, flip
the coin in the air and then do

135
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,360
the flip onto my hand.
So I don't know that, you know,

136
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,240
I don't know if that technically
means that it is weighted

137
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,880
towards tails.
Either way, start with the coin

138
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,280
with the same orientation before
flipping.

139
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,320
No, OK, I, I don't now I will
say I, I tried doing different

140
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880
things like flipping it a little
higher than normal or a little

141
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,960
less and that like helped with
the variability.

142
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,520
So I, I think we're working with
an OK coin.

143
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,880
I I don't think it is weighted.
I don't know that we'll need a

144
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,480
coin flip for this one, but you
never know because Brad has

145
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,120
established that he is an enemy
of the movie musical.

146
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,720
And that's my Segway into the.
Hold on what?

147
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,800
I picked Star Wars.
We have to flip the coin of

148
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,080
destiny.
No, you didn't.

149
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,720
You said you're moving Vertigo.
Yeah.

150
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280
And then I thought about it and
I was like, there's no chance

151
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,880
that a #16 seed ever again will
have the opportunity to beat the

152
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040
number one seed.
And I picked Star Wars.

153
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,800
You did not 100%.
You know what?

154
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,080
I'm picking Star Wars.
I thought we were going to skate

155
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,080
by here, you bastard.
All right, we're going to flip

156
00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,920
the coin of destiny, which has a
slight lean as we all do.

157
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,840
A slight lean in One Direction.
Vertigo's going to be heads.

158
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,160
Vertigo wins my bracket and I'm
voting against.

159
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,320
Him.
Why are you doing this?

160
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,920
Why you?
This is just for chaos.

161
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,040
Chaos, baby.
Vertigo's heads, Star Wars is

162
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,160
tails Brad to ruin both of our
brackets.

163
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:33,760
Flip that coin.
Is it really?

164
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Is it Tales?
It is the first tales that we've

165
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,440
had for the whole brackets.
I think you've established what

166
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,920
you're going to do for the rest
of the bracket.

167
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,960
Now you're just going to flip
Star Wars against every movie

168
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,320
just to see like Harvest.
To see what happens, like, yeah.

169
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:54,600
Yeah, exactly.
God, I hate you man.

170
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,440
Why did you do that?
There's no reason for you to do

171
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,240
that because Bob.
Our brackets are boring at the

172
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,840
end of the day.
It ends up being like 1/2, 3:00

173
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,680
and 5:00.
Every season.

174
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,160
We need, we need a Cinderella.
Cinderella we we need somebody

175
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,080
from the Mac to get into the
Final four.

176
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,880
Here it's it's funny that I say
we need a Cinderella Man.

177
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,200
We literally have a Cinderella
Man.

178
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,880
We do, we do.
All right, let me get to the

179
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,600
next match up here.
It's the number 9 overall seed.

180
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,560
West Side Story up against #8
The Tree of Life.

181
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Now that would mean that if
there is a coin flip, the Tree

182
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,920
of life will be heads as the
eight seed.

183
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,160
Brad, this was not that
difficult for me.

184
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,680
But as we established, you are a
hater of the movie musical and

185
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,320
all things good.
And so the Tree of Life, I think

186
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,160
I said in the last episode, it's
like it's a movie that I can

187
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,800
kind of sit on a shelf and
acknowledge as a 10.

188
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,560
I don't get like a ton of
enjoyment watching that movie.

189
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,400
And there are there are moments
of true beauty and awe in that

190
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,520
movie, but I think beginning to
end, West Side Story is just a

191
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,040
much more impactful experience
for me.

192
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,640
Yeah, I and I totally understand
that.

193
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,560
I, I think West Side Story is
one of the best musicals ever

194
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:08,080
made.
I just, I don't know, man.

195
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,000
I think the older I get, the
more I feel intrigued by weird,

196
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,480
artsy like stories that have a
meaningful thing to say about

197
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,440
the human experience.
I think that Tree of Life has

198
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,920
that in absolute spades and I am
going to move Tree of Life

199
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,440
forward.
Of course you are.

200
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,120
So we're going to have
back-to-back coin flips on a day

201
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,440
where we are already going to
run long on this episode.

202
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,720
You're like, let's, let's grind
this baby to a halt.

203
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,440
Why not?
Tree of Life is heads, West Side

204
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,840
Story is tails.
You are going to really screw up

205
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,240
my bracket my friend.
Flip that coin.

206
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,200
Bob, we have two tails in a row.
I'll take it.

207
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,760
I I I can't get her to go back,
but I can move West Side Story

208
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,240
on into the round of eight.
That takes us to the bottom left

209
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,480
quadrant.
This one might not need much

210
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,800
debate, Brad, as much as we love
the number 13 seed, Amadeus,

211
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,840
it's going up against the number
four overall seed.

212
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,600
And I believe your number one
overall seed, Pulp Fiction.

213
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,080
Yeah, dude.
Pulp Pulp Fiction.

214
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,480
Just I don't know what it was
this time around.

215
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,480
It checked all the boxes for me.
I it still isn't once again

216
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,000
similar to Vertigo.
It probably would be in like my

217
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,120
5 to 10, fifth to 10th best
overall movie range.

218
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,360
So it's it's not like I have the
passion for it, but it could

219
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,960
easily win any individual season
of our show.

220
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,360
So I for me, this is an easy
pick.

221
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,800
Pulp Fiction.
Yeah, for me too.

222
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,280
And I love Amadeus.
But like, again, if we're

223
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,720
talking about movies that
changed the course of movie

224
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,680
history, yeah, Pulp Fiction's
kind of a no brainer here.

225
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:02,920
So after 2 long debates, we have
one very quick one, getting the

226
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,160
number four seed Pulp Fiction
into the round of eight.

227
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,680
And this will finalize the left
side of the bracket here, Brad,

228
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,400
the number 12 overall seed, the
Treasure of the Sierra Madre,

229
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,320
going up against the number 5
seed, Rear Window.

230
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Now I will.
I'm just telling you now, I will

231
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,920
be a ride or die for Rear
Window, I think, on this side of

232
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640
the bracket from here on out
because I think that is just

233
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,080
frankly, a perfect movie.
Yeah.

234
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,000
And even even in the next round
when I would like to think it

235
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,560
will go up against Pulp Fiction,
I think I'm going to pick it

236
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:38,240
there too because I think Pulp
Fiction is a great, slightly

237
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,480
unwieldy movie.
And Rear Windows, just like a

238
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,800
freaking well oiled machine that
just extracts suspense from you.

239
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,920
So we don't even have to talk
about that now, because it's up

240
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,200
against The Treasure of the
Sierra Madre, a movie that I

241
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,120
love dearly, but that it just
doesn't hold the candle to Rear

242
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,160
Window in my mind.
Dude, not at all.

243
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Rear window is like, once again,
we're we're we're kind of

244
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,120
whittling away the chaff and we
are getting towards the cream of

245
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,920
the crop.
What, what would you say is your

246
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,080
favorite Walter Houston quote
from Treasure of the Sierra

247
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Madre?
Because he's he has some

248
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,200
incredible ones.
All I keep coming back to is

249
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,000
when he's doing his little like
hop skip and he's like you're

250
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Dumber than the dumbest Jackass.
Like it's just a great like of

251
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120
all the you're dumb quotes,
you're Dumber than the dumbest

252
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,280
Jackass is top tier.
You're dumb.

253
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,280
It's so.
Freaking good dude.

254
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,240
I love when he's talking to the
guys and he's like, hey you

255
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,920
fellas, now how about some
beans?

256
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,240
You want some beans going
through some mighty rough

257
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,240
country tomorrow?
You better.

258
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,600
Have he's trying to break up a
fight by like, dangling beans in

259
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,000
front of people, yes.
It's.

260
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,640
Incredible, dude.
I freaking love that movie,

261
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,200
dude.
I'm sorry to see it go into the

262
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,080
fiery abyss, but Rear Window
must move on here.

263
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,520
And so we've got our first half
of the round of eight locked in

264
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,640
Star Wars, West Side Story, Pulp
Fiction and Rear Window.

265
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,440
I like that.
I've been talking a lot this

266
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,640
episode.
I know that you have the bracket

267
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,680
on your end.
I would like for you to intro

268
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,360
the right side of our bracket so
that I can sit back and enjoy my

269
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,200
pour of BBB.
You got the.

270
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,760
You got the B, Bob, just B.
On the right side of the

271
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:28,520
bracket, we have our number two
overall seed 12 angry Men going

272
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,320
up against the number 18 seed
and a real, you know, underdog

273
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:39,480
story, if you will, Cinderella
Man Bob I, I feel like once

274
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,480
again, this this is where the
bracket just kind of, you know,

275
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,960
the, the one through 4 seed kind
of has an easy row the first two

276
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,760
rounds, as it should be.
Cinderella Man is a great movie.

277
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,520
It is a stirring film.
It ought to it deserves more

278
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,520
recognition than it gets.
It's not 12 Angry Men.

279
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,240
It's I don't.
I don't have Ron Howard's book

280
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,560
up here on my ledge.
I have Sidney Lumetz.

281
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,920
You do have Sidney Lumetz.
Have you read it yet?

282
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,360
I haven't I I really want to.
I bought myself a copy of it

283
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,160
about a year ago and I also
haven't read it.

284
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,720
I think we should have Film and
Whiskey book club next season

285
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,600
dude, and that could be our
bonus episodes is just going

286
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,440
through Sidney Lumetz book.
Dude, we'll do a Patreon book

287
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,760
club.
Patreon Book Club.

288
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,960
We'll do a giveaway, will buy a
new Patreon, member a copy of

289
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,480
the book, and you can join the
book club.

290
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,520
But I love it dude.
We're moving into books and

291
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,720
whiskey for season 11.
I freaking love it man.

292
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,640
Wine my only.
Remaining question, right.

293
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,120
My only remaining question about
this matchup is do you think

294
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:56,200
that James J Braddock could
could take all 12 men in the

295
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,160
jury room if you just put him in
there?

296
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,000
Like the old man's dead
immediately and the little share

297
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,520
of glasses is dead immediately,
but there's like 10 able bodied

298
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,760
men in there that I think might
be able to gang up and and

299
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,920
defeat Jim Braddock.
That's a good question man.

300
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,359
Are we talking about like pre
broken hand got real strong

301
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,520
working on the docks?
Braddock, are we talking?

302
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,000
We're talking about the same one
that faces Max Baer at the end

303
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,600
of the movie, Dings and all.
I I think overcoming 10 men

304
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,600
would be hard.
I think if you put Max, I think

305
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,680
if you put Max, Baer and Brad in
the room.

306
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,600
Just like 1 uppercut to each guy
and they're all dead.

307
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:44,560
And it's, it's like a bad like
action movie where they're

308
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,440
coming one at a time and he's
just boom, boom, boom.

309
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,400
Like Popeye?
Yeah, dude.

310
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,640
Yes, dude.
Max Baer would have been a great

311
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,320
if there's ever a live action
Popeye, who's the actor who was?

312
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,600
There was a live action Popeye,
but we don't need to talk about

313
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,600
that right now, Brad.
That's another bonus episode.

314
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,520
Why did we ever think that that
was a good idea?

315
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,680
All right, we're moving down
into the next match up, the

316
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,600
number 10 overall seed, The
Great Escape up against #7

317
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,920
Inglourious Basterds.
This is a really hard match up

318
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,280
for me, Brad, because I've
really gone back and forth on

319
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Inglourious Basterds in our time
on the show here.

320
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,240
I think I was at like a six out
of 10 the first time we watched

321
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,200
it, and this time I was at like
a nine out of 10.

322
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,480
I, I do think that it's one of
Tarantino's best.

323
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,600
I also think it's one of
Tarantino's most indulgent,

324
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,280
along with Once Upon a Time in
Hollywood.

325
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,200
It's not one of my favorite
Tarantino's.

326
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,760
It's just one that I kind of
like, appreciate and respect a

327
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,400
little more than I love.
And I think that opens the door

328
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,680
for me for The Great Escape, a
movie that is very solidly a

329
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,720
nine out of 10 and nothing more
than that, but like one of the

330
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,840
best.
I'm going to fall asleep with a

331
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,000
window open on a Saturday
afternoon and this movie's

332
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,360
playing in the background and I
wake up and it's still on and

333
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,400
I'm like, dope, let's watch
these guys try to escape.

334
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Steve's jumping over a barbed
wire fence.

335
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,280
It's crazy.
Yeah, dude, I don't know what to

336
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,000
do here, Brad.
I'd like to hear your opinion,

337
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,320
Bob.
You're silly.

338
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,560
Inglourious Basterds has one of
the absolute greatest opening

339
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,160
scenes of all time.
Like True Bar None has one of

340
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:29,080
the most incredibly dark and
intimidating villains of all

341
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,520
time who also pulls a little bit
of a comedic edge.

342
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,320
Right.
The lows of Inglorious Basterds

343
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,320
are like the midpoints of The
Great Escape.

344
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,000
And there's not many lows in
Inglorious Basterds.

345
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,120
Like for me this is an easy easy
pick.

346
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:53,040
I think Shoshanna out acts any
human being who's in the Great

347
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:59,560
Escape like this is an easy easy
pic of inglorious Basterds.

348
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,920
Man, my head says you're right.
My heart says the great escape.

349
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,400
And your heart is not saying
anything, it is singing.

350
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,960
Real quick, one more point.
Against Inglorious Basterds?

351
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,960
Not really.
Against, Obviously.

352
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,040
Tarantino is hugely influenced
by The Good, The Bad and the

353
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,400
Ugly.
It's his favorite movie of all

354
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,600
time.
That movie was on TV the other

355
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,000
night and I watched the opening
couple scenes and I forgot about

356
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,280
that first scene with the
villain Lee Van Cleef, where he

357
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,280
goes to that family's farmhouse
and there's hardly any dialogue

358
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,760
spoken.
So it is different than

359
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,280
Tarantino, but over the course
of like 15 minutes, you watch

360
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,080
this terrified family come to
understand that this guy's going

361
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,360
to kill everybody in the house.
And he does that.

362
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,600
And I was like, oh, it's the
beginning of Inglourious

363
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Basterds.
Tarantino just took his his

364
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,640
favorite scene from his favorite
movie and redid it with

365
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,800
Christoph Waltz and a giant
tobacco.

366
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:04,160
If if Coogler can steal the
entirety of well, what movie is

367
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,840
it If.
He can steal the entire movie of

368
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,360
From Dusk Till Dawn.
I think we can forgive 1 scene

369
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,520
for Tarantino.
Brad, I I'm sorry.

370
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,720
I'm gonna make you do a coin
flip.

371
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
I'll get the great Escape more.
Yeah, I just.

372
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,840
I think you're right.
But I also like you.

373
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,680
You'd screwed me on Star Wars,
so I.

374
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,200
Knew this was coming.
Flip this.

375
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:28,160
Coin Yeah, let's see, the Great
Escape is gonna be tails.

376
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,400
So Inglorious Basterds heads and
Great Escape tails, Brad, just

377
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,640
for the hell of it, flip that
coin.

378
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,280
All right, we have another
heads.

379
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,840
There you go, it all worked out
at the end.

380
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,000
I went to bat for my movie.
You did.

381
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,200
I'm proud of you, Bob.
All right, so 12 Angry Men and

382
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,880
Inglourious Basterds will be
facing off against each other in

383
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,080
the round of eight.
And that takes us to our last

384
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,360
two matchups in this round, the
number three overall seed

385
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:10,680
Casablanca up against the 14
seed The Lion King, a film which

386
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,720
once again, I, I think that's
the first movie I remember going

387
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,680
to see in the movie theater.
I was like 4 years old, not even

388
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,000
four years old.
Yeah, I, I know that I saw

389
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,520
movies in my zero to 10 years
old.

390
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,360
The first movie I really
remember going to see in the

391
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:30,120
theaters was Monsters, Inc when
I would have been 10 or 11.

392
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:33,240
So it came out 2001.
And that like that's a great,

393
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,440
what a great memory.
Great movie, dude.

394
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,880
And yet I think this is pretty
obvious, man.

395
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,320
I'm I'm riding Casablanca here.
Sorry Lion King, we will dangle

396
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,200
you over the edge like Mufasa
and drop you into the herd of

397
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,920
wildebeests.
Now here's the real question.

398
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Am I going to be scar and hurl
Casablanca into the wildebeests?

399
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,200
No you're not, because you had
Casablanca going really far in

400
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,120
your your bracket as well.
And you don't.

401
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,800
Like The Lion King that much?
I had Vertigo going real far,

402
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,440
Bob.
I don't like Lion King that

403
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,120
much.
That's true.

404
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:10,000
That's true.
I don't Casablanca.

405
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,360
Is safe for this round.
I would.

406
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:12,600
It is.
Yeah, it is.

407
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,360
All right.
That takes us to our last match

408
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:18,080
up here, which I think may be
another coin flip, Brad, because

409
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,360
we're talking about a movie that
you apparently loathe the number

410
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:24,600
11 seed singing in the rain up
against the number six seed.

411
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,120
Some like it hot.
A movie that we did have

412
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:30,920
conversation about last episode
and both said it's it's a

413
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,560
perfect movie.
The problem here is that I kind

414
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,600
of also think that Singing in
the Rain is a perfect movie and

415
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:42,680
just a vessel for God to impart
the divine gift of joy unto

416
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,240
mankind.
Except for you.

417
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,440
Bob, this is this is a classic
Goodfellas experience where I I

418
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,600
gave this movie at 8.5.
Like I I like singing in the

419
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,400
rain.
I'm just not like, captivated by

420
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,280
its spell.
There are certain films where

421
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,880
it's like almost more insulting
that you found it to be an 8

422
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,680
point, but I'd rather you'd be
like, it didn't work for me 5

423
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,400
out of 10 then like it's pretty
good.

424
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Yeah, it's that's like how who
lands on?

425
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,080
It's pretty good.
I mean, it's a pretty good.

426
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,400
Movie.
I like it it.

427
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,320
It entertained me.
OK, so fair to say you moved

428
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,280
some like it hot on here.
Oh, obviously some like it hot,

429
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,960
OK.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna force a

430
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,040
coin flip.
The thing is that I don't care

431
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,480
if some like a hot wins here
'cause I I do love that movie.

432
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,720
I just like genuinely, truly
think Singing in the Rain

433
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:37,200
deserves is on like a Mount
Rushmore of all time movies and

434
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,760
not for Brad.
So whoa, A.

435
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:47,560
Top four movie all time.
Not necessarily for me, but if

436
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,360
you look through the history of
like the sight and sound pools

437
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:54,360
and like the French auteurs and
movie critics down through the

438
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,520
years, it is like, I'm telling
you, it's like Citizen Kane one

439
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,680
or two out, like Tokyo Story,
maybe Singing in the Rain is in

440
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,240
there.
It is just considered like an

441
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,320
auteurist masterpiece that
deserves to be studied until the

442
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,480
Earth explodes someday like it
is.

443
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,200
I'm sorry, I don't understand
that.

444
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,960
That's wild.
I think we should flip the coin.

445
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,320
All right, I think some might
get hot as heads here, as the

446
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,880
sixth seed singing in the rain
will be tails for perhaps the

447
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,280
most consequential 1 yet.
Brad, flip that coin.

448
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,600
See, now we're getting a little
variety.

449
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:40,880
We have tails again.
Singing in the Rain pulls out

450
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,520
the upset.
Brad clearly pissed on his end

451
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,040
over there, and I love it,
folks.

452
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,040
So that completes our round of
eights.

453
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,640
Now, I'll go back to the
beginning to read these.

454
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,520
We've got Star Wars against West
Side Story, Pulp Fiction versus

455
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,720
Rear Window 12, Angry Men
against Inglourious Basterds,

456
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,240
and Casablanca versus Singing in
the Rain.

457
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,800
Brad, I think that is a perfect
time for us to press pause.

458
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,680
Let's take a quick break here
and then we'll come back and do

459
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,000
our round of eight.
What do you say?

460
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,640
I'm ready man.
Let's do it.

461
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,920
All right, we're jumping back
into the bracket in the round of

462
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240
eight.
I, you know, honestly, Brad, for

463
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,920
having three coin flips in the
round of 16, we moved through

464
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,240
that pretty briskly.
And I look through, you know,

465
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,200
obviously season 1 is full of
old movies, but it is, it's

466
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,160
pretty funny how quickly the
movies are getting older and

467
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,360
older by round.
And I think that speaks to, you

468
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:42,040
know, not just that we like old
movies, but that the ones in

469
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,480
this season are kind of
unimpeachable classic old

470
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,160
movies.
Brad.

471
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,560
Yeah, absolutely.
I like if not for Vertigo being

472
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,600
against Star Wars and me
enjoying chaos like sure Vertigo

473
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,440
is in here.
I almost the average age of

474
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:07,240
these movies As I look through
is the only two movies made in

475
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,720
the 2000s are Quentin not even
from like 1995 on.

476
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,280
The only two movies are Quentin
Tarantino films, and even then

477
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,040
our our youngest movie is 19
years old.

478
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,000
Like, these are some old films,
Bob, and they're pretty much

479
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,920
some of the greatest.
Yeah, man.

480
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,320
And you know, not to dive too
quickly into this first match up

481
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,200
here, but your boy's going to
flip the coin again because

482
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,440
we're talking about Star Wars
versus West Side Story now.

483
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,080
I don't think we need to state
our cases too much.

484
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,840
I do have one question that I'm
curious about, Brad.

485
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,720
You know, we've, we've talked
through auteur theory a little

486
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,600
bit on the podcast and at least
what we think it means.

487
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,040
And you know, I look at a movie
like West Side Story versus Star

488
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,560
Wars, and I think it would be
very easy to say if you're kind

489
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,800
of an authorist, West Side Story
is the clear winner here because

490
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,160
it has such a clear kind of
direction, visual theme,

491
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,080
understanding of Miss Anson and
all these things.

492
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,120
Sure.
I do think there's an arcturist,

493
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,360
obviously an arcturist argument
to make for Star Wars.

494
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,520
Like it's George Lucas creating
this world that he would come to

495
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,840
spend his entire career on after
the fact.

496
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,040
Yep.
But I guess what I'm asking is

497
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,480
if you put your sort of like
analytical film guy hat on and

498
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,600
you only could pick this match
up based on that, do do you

499
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,320
think that even for you, West
Side Story would win that match

500
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,240
up?
Like as in like.

501
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,200
Which one represents Otur theory
more?

502
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,120
Which one encapsulates like,
yeah, cinema, whatever that

503
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,920
means that that ephemeral term
of cinema.

504
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,840
Oh my gosh, think I would still.
That's a tough one, man.

505
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:01,520
I think I would still say Star
Wars because it feels like such

506
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,200
a singular vision like that.
Like, yes, West Side Story is

507
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,280
unique.
I wouldn't say it's like

508
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,160
completely separate from all of
their musicals.

509
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:18,080
I can't think of many movies
that capture the hero's story,

510
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:24,800
the incredible miniature work
that Lucas and his team did with

511
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,880
a driving story and action like
that.

512
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,800
He combines all those things.
Like, sure, you have 2001 a

513
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,560
Space Odyssey.
That's not an action movie, you

514
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,680
know what I mean?
It's not a popcorn movie.

515
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,400
So I, I think that Lucas
captures a lot of different

516
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,240
elements in a very unique way.
And for me, I think that's kind

517
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:53,160
of the hallmark of auteur theory
is that it's a director who can

518
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,120
take all the different elements
of filmmaking and create

519
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,320
something unique to them.
Like Wes Anderson is an auteur

520
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,640
because he has all the same
equipment everybody else is

521
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,320
using, and yet he creates movies
in such a way that you know it's

522
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,800
him when he makes it.
I think the same could be said

523
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,040
true for Lucas in the films that
he makes.

524
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,560
I'll be honest with you, Bob.
I don't remember who directed

525
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,160
West Side Story.
So.

526
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,720
It's 'cause you're a casual,
'cause you are not a ball

527
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,880
knower, Brad, it's Robert Wise.
Yeah, but there's another guy

528
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,840
directing it, right?
And he got like fired.

529
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,000
Jerome Robbins, Yeah, he got
booted.

530
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,360
They said get out of here.
You can't call it an author

531
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,120
movie if two different people
directed the film.

532
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,280
Get out of here.
And on that note, it is time to

533
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,280
flip that coin.
I do wish that West Side Stories

534
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,040
extended cast of characters got
their own movie The way that

535
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,120
Star Wars extended cast of
characters do.

536
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,120
I would like to see Baby John
and Grogu like that.

537
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,680
I would.
I would go watch that movie in a

538
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,200
heartbeat.
If Disney made it though.

539
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:00,480
Yeah, no, it wouldn't be any
good.

540
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:14,760
Flip the coin.
All righty, we have another

541
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Tales victory, which means my
boy, my boy, Georgie Luke is

542
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,600
heading on dude.
Why did you do this dude?

543
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,720
This could have been Vertigo.
I'm happy as a clam right now.

544
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,080
You did.
You knew you were going to do

545
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,880
this.
You came in this night knowing

546
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,360
you were going to do this.
I I feel it in my bones.

547
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,360
I am.
I am as happy as Walter Houston

548
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,920
when he stares dead into the
camera.

549
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,400
You you my friend, are Dumber
than the dumbest Jackass.

550
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,720
And that takes us to our next
match up, the four seed Pulp

551
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,800
Fiction up against the five seed
rear window.

552
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:00,400
This might be the I mean, it's
not as hard for me 'cause I

553
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,680
think Rear Window's perfect, but
just in general, this might be

554
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,680
the toughest match up of the
entire bracket, Brad.

555
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,800
I I would agree.
With you 4 versus.

556
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,320
Five Yeah, I, I would agree with
you.

557
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,560
I think Rear Window I, I here's
the problem.

558
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,280
I think both of them are perfect
films in their own way.

559
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:23,760
I think I, I think I lean
towards Pulp Fiction because of

560
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,120
Samuel's speech at the end of
the movie.

561
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,680
Like there's some, oh dude,
there's something about the end

562
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:36,360
of a movie that has a good
resonant ending and the idea of

563
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:42,760
a man who has come face to face
with God and just wants to be

564
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,240
better.
He's just trying Bob.

565
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,120
That just that hit me.
Dude, I've seen that scene.

566
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,360
I was obsessed with this movie
when I was in high school.

567
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,200
Dude obsessed with this movie
and I have watched this scene so

568
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,600
many times that I can play it in
my mind like a DVD now.

569
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,640
And the moment when he he shifts
his weight and he kind of

570
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,800
squints his eyes like he's
focusing extra hard on on Ringo

571
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,000
when he says the truth is and he
leans in and points the gun at

572
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,640
him and says you're the weak.
It's just it's the best line

573
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,080
reading of all time.
Brad.

574
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,600
It's it's so good.
He should have won an Oscar.

575
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,080
Yeah, it's AB.
It's stunningly good.

576
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,280
It is Samuel L Jackson at his
absolute peak.

577
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,120
And I like, I love Rear Window
Man.

578
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,000
I would watch it 9 times out of
10 if you put it up against ten

579
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,880
other movies.
I think I'm taking Pulp Fiction

580
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,080
on this one.
I don't mind that dude and like

581
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,240
I I think I am going to take
Rear Window here.

582
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,320
Not just because I want to force
a coin flip, but because these

583
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,720
movies are so close in my mind
that on any given day, I think I

584
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,320
would pick either one of them.
And so a coin flip is kind of

585
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,600
the only way for me to to hash
this out.

586
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,800
I'm happy with whichever one
wins.

587
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,080
Pulp Fiction will be heads in
this scenario, and Rear Window

588
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,560
will be tails.
So Brad for a spot.

589
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,840
Oh, you look like you're gonna
make a joke about the rear.

590
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,320
What I'll I'll give you, I'll
give you an option.

591
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,760
I'm gonna give you an out.
Robert, Are you ready?

592
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,719
You're going to.
Let me have rear window as long

593
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,120
as I agree to a coin flip
against Star Wars and no.

594
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,719
I will let you have both of them
if one of them replaces

595
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,679
Casablanca on the other side of
the bracket.

596
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,360
Oh interesting.
Well, I guess that depends on

597
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,400
how hard are you going to ride
for 12 Angry Men or Inglorious

598
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,360
Basterds.
That's that's a that is a

599
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:46,239
something that I know and you
don't.

600
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,120
Yeah, I don't care.
We're going to flip this coin,

601
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,840
dude.
This is, we have to do this the

602
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,480
way nature and God intended us
to do it, and that is via chaos.

603
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,720
So Pulp Fiction, Heads, Rear
Window Tails, Brad, Flip that

604
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:10,720
coin.
Dude, see this?

605
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,800
I told you, man, we got a few
tails in here.

606
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,160
Look at that, that that coin got
pissed.

607
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,840
Off at you for criticizing it
publicly so much.

608
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,600
It did.
Rear Window is into the Final

609
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,240
Four, so I think surprisingly to
both of us, Brad, our our two

610
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,720
entrants on this side of the
bracket, Star Wars in Rear

611
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:33,640
Window, I don't think either of
us had that in our bracket.

612
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,560
No what?
What did you have for the bottom

613
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,640
bracket?
I I don't have my bracket pulled

614
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,640
up, I either had Vertigo or West
Side Story coming out of the top

615
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,560
and I had Rear window coming out
of the bottom here.

616
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:49,800
Oh OK, alright, yeah, no, I had
Vertigo and Pulp Fiction, so my

617
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,600
western half of the bracket.
Shot dude is.

618
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,520
Done for.
Well, why don't you take us over

619
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,720
to the right side of the bracket
here Brad, as we look at our

620
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,240
first match up in the top right
quadrant.

621
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,120
Yeah, We are looking at the
number two overall seed 12 angry

622
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:13,320
men versus Inglourious Basterds.
Now I will I will say if we're

623
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,000
continuing on with our theme of
who could fight 12 angry men, I

624
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,560
think the Bear Jew would have a
good chance.

625
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,960
You give him that baseball bat.
Yeah, that that doesn't seem

626
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,560
like it'd actually be very hard
at all, Brad.

627
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:31,200
But but here's the thing, Henry
Fonda gets the knife that he

628
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,720
stabs into the.
Table switchblade.

629
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:36,800
That's it.
That's true, man.

630
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,320
We're just creating better
sequels for both of these

631
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,760
movies.
All right, look, I I picked the

632
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,000
great escape in the last round
against this.

633
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,520
I like Inglorious Basterds a
lot.

634
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,640
I think the great escape very
narrowly edged it out for me.

635
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,440
I don't think it holds a candle
to 12 angry men 12 angry men's

636
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,280
another perfect movie.
And so for me, this is like this

637
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,880
is a no brainer.
I I moved 12 angry men on pretty

638
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:03,520
easily.
Man, I so I gave 12 Angry Men

639
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,080
and Inglourious Basterds a 10
out of 10.

640
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,640
I like I love both of these.
Movies for Inglorious?

641
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,640
I didn't know that.
And I gave I in my vibe

642
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,480
rankings, I put 12 Angry men at
4:00 and I put Inglourious

643
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,440
Basterds AT5I.
I love both of these movies, Bob

644
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:27,560
I I think they both I will say,
unlike last round and talking

645
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:35,200
about great escape, 12 angry men
is consistently A9 or 9 1/2.

646
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,560
Like the lowest point of that
movie might be a nine out of 10.

647
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:44,560
And it's probably when the judge
is like, telling them to go back

648
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,480
into the room, and then they're
in the room and it's at least a

649
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,080
9 1/2 out of 10.
The rest of the movie, like,

650
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,520
right.
Like, it is a perfect movie

651
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,400
through and through.
Inglourious Basterds has some

652
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,800
slow moments.
We talked about it.

653
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,120
It dips a little bit.
It dips a little bit and it's

654
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,640
whenever the Inglourious
Basterds are like doing things.

655
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,600
On the screen, yeah.
Yeah, anytime anybody else is on

656
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,920
the screen, it's great.
Now, the one exception to that

657
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,360
is the bar scene.
But even that, it's like, not

658
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,440
all the bastards, it's just a
few of them.

659
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,680
And who's the actress?
Kruger.

660
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,160
Diane Kruger.
Diane Kruger.

661
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,360
Yeah, yeah, it's like them and
her and the German guy and it's

662
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:30,800
great.
Anyways, I, I want to see, I'm

663
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:36,880
going to once again, Bob, I'm
going to go against what I

664
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,560
picked and I'm going to choose
12 Angry Men to move on.

665
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,640
Yeah, you are.
I I just, oh, I know I can't.

666
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:49,800
I can't put in glorious over it.
At the other listen, at the end

667
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,360
of the day, you're being
consistent because Star Wars was

668
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,160
your number 2, Vertigo was your
three and you picked Star Wars.

669
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,200
That's true.
Angry Men was your four and

670
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,600
Glorious is your 5.
Like, that's just, that's how

671
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,360
the ranking shook out my friend.
Dude, I, I mean, I've screwed

672
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:08,800
myself out of two of my four
final four.

673
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,480
I might just have to do the same
thing once we get down to our

674
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,120
bottom right bracket, which is
the number three seed Casablanca

675
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,400
versus the number 11 seed
Singing in the Rain.

676
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,840
This, I can't, I can't do that.
Bob Casablanca's moving on.

677
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,520
I love Casablanca.
It's an incredible film.

678
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,480
If some Like It Hot was here, I
might want to play a little

679
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,760
chaos and choose it.
But Singing in the Rain is a

680
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,760
garbage movie for garbage
people, so.

681
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,120
I have a couple confessions to
make.

682
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,720
Brad, this is our confession.
I'm, I'm 3.

683
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,160
Is it a, is it a Dashboard
Confessional?

684
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:51,640
Yeah, it's a Dashboard
Confessional.

685
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,040
It sure is.
Now I've watched Casablanca 2

686
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,840
times in the last year.
My perhaps my favorite movie of

687
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,640
all time after having not
watched it in about 5 years.

688
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:06,000
And there is a section in the
middle and I can, I can pinpoint

689
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,520
the exact moment.
It's when it's it's the daytime

690
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,720
after.
The eventful first night and he

691
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:15,760
runs into Ilsa out in the bazaar
when she's looking at things.

692
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,800
And then they go visit Sydney
Green Street at the Blue Parrot

693
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,240
and talk to him for a while.
And I thought to myself, this is

694
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,560
boring.
This section of this movie is

695
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,480
boring.
And I've never felt this way

696
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,880
before.
And I stuffed that down because

697
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,840
I said, you can't say that about
Casablanca.

698
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,680
It's your favorite movie.
You're not allowed to.

699
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,040
Then I watched it a second time
and I was like, Oh my God, is

700
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,800
Casablanca closer to a nine and
a half than a 10 for you now,

701
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,200
Bob?
And I stuffed that down within

702
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,720
me.
And then when I did my bracket,

703
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:54,160
I had this match up and I
remembered my son, who was three

704
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,720
years old at the time, wanting
to watch Singing in the Rain

705
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,640
because he loved the dancing and
he wanted to watch the Singing

706
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,680
in the Rain number.
He wanted to watch, Moses

707
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,600
supposes, and he wanted to watch
Make Him Laugh.

708
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,960
And when he watched Donald
O'Connor doing Make Him Laugh, I

709
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,000
was like, this is what movies
are about, dude.

710
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,400
I'm watching my kid fall in love
with one of my favorite movies,

711
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,840
not because of something I did,
but because it just freaking

712
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,280
works, man.
And hopefully someday he'll fall

713
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,920
in love with Casablanca the way
I did.

714
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,840
But at this moment of my life,
Brad, if I had to pick one movie

715
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:38,480
to save from the fiery furnace
for my children's sake, I think

716
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,040
it's singing in the rain, Brad.
I I like that you've placed this

717
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,760
now that I am the destroyer of
your children's no.

718
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,360
I'm just telling you, like, for
me to to willingly let

719
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,760
Casablanca go into the fiery
furnace there, there had to be

720
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,920
some monumental shift.
And I think what I'm telling you

721
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,880
is I'm experiencing that now in
fatherhood.

722
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,320
Yeah.
And I think singing in the rain

723
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,680
at this moment is more near and
dear to my heart, even though if

724
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,720
I'm making a list of like, best
movies ever, it's behind

725
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:10,360
Casablanca.
Yeah.

726
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,720
I don't know, it's like it's
like second hand Lions for You

727
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:16,440
is behind a lot of movies on the
best movies ever list, but like

728
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,000
it's going to be in your final
four movies.

729
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:26,080
Second Hand Lions, a movie that
was quoted of Robert Duvall's

730
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,560
movies.
That is the movie they chose.

731
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,600
The quote from Bob that's going
to come up every time Second

732
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,960
Hand Lions comes up on this
podcast from here on out.

733
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,760
If this.
Ends very anticlimactically here

734
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,280
with an easy Casablanca coin
flip victory.

735
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,720
Like that's fine.
I just had to say I I should

736
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:48,080
have known when I offered you to
get rid of Casablanca and keep

737
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Rear Window OR Pulp Fiction and
you didn't even say anything.

738
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,520
You're like, yeah, maybe I could
do that.

739
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,160
I should have known you.
You're traitor.

740
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:58,160
You don't.
You don't.

741
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,080
Actually, I would still pick
Singing in the Rain over both

742
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,600
those movies 'cause if
Casablanca's my favorite movie

743
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,160
and those other two aren't, and
I'm still picking Singing in the

744
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,200
Rain here, what does that tell
you, man?

745
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,440
I I love my children that I'm
gonna I'm think I'm gonna call

746
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,840
Wellness check on you, but let's
let's get this coin for.

747
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,840
My children.
All right.

748
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,680
Casablanca is heads.
Singing in the rain is tails.

749
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:35,120
Brad, flip that coin.
Robert Casablanca will be moving

750
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,040
on.
We have finally.

751
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,040
Casablanca moves on.
As I said, it ended anti

752
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,960
climactically, but it did not go
down without a fight.

753
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,240
So thank you to Singing in the
Rain.

754
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:51,080
But we have our final four
films, Brad, 1977's Star Wars,

755
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:59,440
the most recent film, our final
41954's Rear Window, 1957's 12

756
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:07,440
Angry Men and 1942's Casablanca.
Looking at this list of four, I

757
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,720
very easily can identify my
championship match up.

758
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:12,960
Brad does.
Do you have one in mind?

759
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,880
Does one stick out to you pretty
quickly here too?

760
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:23,760
Oh man, I I would say it feels
pretty obvious to me who the

761
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,360
winner's who the winner's gonna
be.

762
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,760
I could tell that there's a coin
flip coming pretty quickly in

763
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,000
our next episode, Brad.
But folks, that will do it for

764
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,720
us today.
Now, if you've been following

765
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:38,880
along with your own film and
whiskey bracket, especially if

766
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,960
you're following us on social
media, you will know that we are

767
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,600
giving out some prizes to people
who are completing their film

768
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,000
and whiskey bracket and letting
us know their winner.

769
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,640
So we will be tagging winners in
our social media posts.

770
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,000
If you have not yet downloaded
your film and whiskey bracket,

771
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,880
it is not too late to do so.
You see how we're shaking out.

772
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,000
But we want to know what your
final four movies would be and

773
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,080
especially what your Film and
Whiskey Season 10 champion would

774
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,520
be.
So go to filmwhiskey.com.

775
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,680
That is film whiskey with an E
dot com.

776
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,200
You'll see the bracket challenge
button right up in the

777
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,440
navigation bar.
You can download and fill out

778
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,040
your own bracket there.
Brad, where else should we send

779
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,840
to the folks as we sign off for
the day?

780
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,040
Man, head over to our Discord.
We're talking about movies,

781
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,240
We're talking about brackets,
We're talking about book clubs.

782
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:29,800
Apparently you can find a link
to our Discord server at the end

783
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,600
of every single one of our show
notes.

784
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,600
Don't forget about the Patreon
page, folks.

785
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,160

786

little more, we won't say no to

787
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,040
that either, but there are
special video episodes.

788
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,160
There's going to be a book club

789
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,280
Film and Whiskey Book Club, $3 a

00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:56,080
patreon.com/filmwhiskey.
That will do it for us today.

792
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,800
We'll be back next week to
finish out the season 10

793
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,560
bracket, to talk about our
favorite whiskeys of the season

794
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,160
as well, and to give out the
filmies the best Movie Awards

795
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,040
there are.
Brad.

796
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,320
That's right, and it won't be a
four hour telecast.

797
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,040
It will not, Not this time.
All right, so until next week,

798
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,840
I'm Bob Book.
I'm Brad.

799
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,760
Gee.
And we'll see you next time.
