Hey, everybody.
Welcome into the film and

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,500
whiskey podcast.
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G.

25
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Why Brad do you know what day it
is today, bro?

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,200
I am so excited.
It's Cruz miss Christmas.

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,900
Merry Christmas to you sir.
Dude, Merry Christmas to you.

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,400
Listen, we've been doing
hanksgiving for the last three

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,500
years and we first, we finished
Thanksgiving and said, man, this

30
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,500
is so much fun every year.
What other holidays can we do?

31
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
And of course, the first thing
we thought of was Brad's

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,300
favorite actor of all time, Tom
Cruise and easily just attaching

33
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,100
it to Christmas.
Yeah.

34
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:11,800
It seemed pretty obvious.
I texted you a few days later

35
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:18,900
and had a few more ideas about
possibly Meryl Streep, stir a

36
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,200
place of Easter, is that what
that is place of Easter, the 4th

37
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,600
of June.
I, he, she okay, then Bill night

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,000
and Ida.
I like, even though he is

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,000
British and probably doesn't
celebrate the Fourth of July,

40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,600
probably not so much.
What else we got?

41
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,800
Oh man.
Oh, there was a Halloween.

42
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,100
What was my Halloween 10?
Let's look at your text.

43
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:45,800
Oh, Tom Holland ween.
There we go.

44
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Tom Holland, wean I responded.
If I responded with Halloween

45
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,100
McKellen, that would be a big
fan of that and I took your

46
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,700
Meryl Streep won and I turned it
into the Oral day.

47
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:03,900
From the mayor of the hey, I
love it.

48
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,100
In honor of the Fallen.
We watch Meryl Streep every

49
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:09,800
year.
Oh man!

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,700
Alright, so, as you can tell,
this is our first cruise Miss

51
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:15,300
episode.
We are happy that you've joined

52
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:16,400
us.
We're going to be talking about

53
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,600
the year's biggest movie as of
right now.

54
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,300
Who knows if Avatar will
overtake it?

55
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:26,700
But as of now, top gun, Maverick
is the top movie of 2022.

56
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:28,200
How can we start?
Yeah.

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,000
How could we start Cruise Miss
with any movie besides Is that

58
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,800
yeah it feels like this.
Triumphant return.

59
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,700
For Tom even though he's gone
nowhere.

60
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,500
Like he continues to pump out.
Awesome.

61
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,100
Incredible movies, when we went
to see Maverick my wife and I,

62
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:48,600
they were showing the trailer
for the new Mission Impossible

63
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,600
and I just it literally finished
and I was like, all right, but

64
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,000
we can go now that that's all I
needed to see.

65
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,300
Did you see the video they just
posted like yesterday?

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,700
No, I didn't.
There's a new Nine minute video

67
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,800
from the makers of Mission
Impossible of Tom Cruise doing

68
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,300
the biggest stunt in the next
movie and how they, like, how

69
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:12,400
they set it up.
It is a Christmas gift to us all

70
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Brad.
Oh man.

71
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,900
I don't even know if I want to
watch it until like, after I've

72
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:18,500
seen the movie.
I'm just so giddy.

73
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:20,800
Well, we have plenty to talk
about today.

74
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,100
And before we get into talking
about top gun Maverick, we do

75

us, Us on patreon.com film
whiskey, Brad.

89
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,600
I think what we should do today
is just use our normal reviewing

90
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,200
format and just do a condensed
version because we have three

91
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,500
whiskeys to drink today.
Yeah, we do.

92
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,900
We are checking out the
Bardstown bourbon company.

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,400
If we could have a drum roll I
would ask for it up their origin

94
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,200
Siri yes dude, I'm super
excited.

95
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,200
I am so freaking jacked.
Bardstown has been Incredibly

96
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,900
kind to the film whiskey podcast
over the years.

97
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:39,500
We went to a really cool weird
white T-shirt party there.

98
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,100
Few months back at the Kentucky
Bourbon Festival.

99
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,200
I mean they just put on some of
the coolest stuff and I'm just

100
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,600
so, so so excited for them to
put out their very own

101
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,200
distillate.
Well, because we have three of

102
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,600
those to review.
We got to kind of rush through

103
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,600
Crews mess here a little bit.
Let's talk about top gun

104
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,500
Maverick.
This movie is in some ways, the

105
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,800
biggest Triumph of Tom Cruise's
career.

106
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,100
It is a movie that has been in
development since like the early

107
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:13,900
2010's in Earnest, the director
of the original film Tony, Scott

108
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:16,500
was attached and they were
developing ideas for it.

109
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:19,700
It got kind of kicked to the,
you know, they put on the back

110
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:23,300
burner a bit and then Tony Scott
died tragically and they really

111
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,200
put the brakes on this for a
long period of time.

112
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:29,700
It got kind of picked back up
again around 2015, 2016.

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,300
They Are doing different
revisions and bringing in new

114
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:33,900
writers and looking for
directors.

115
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,100
And of course, Tom Cruise is
kind of guiding this whole

116
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,400
thing.
It was supposed to come out, I

117
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,300
believe in 2019, like the first
trailer for this came out in

118
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,900
like 2018 and they decided to
hold it.

119
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,800
I think for an early 2020
release and then the pandemic

120
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,600
happened and it sat on a shelf
and there was a bidding war for

121
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,000
the rights to stream this during
the pandemic because everybody

122
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,200
was desperate for something to
bring in some revenue.

123
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,200
And Tom Cruise being the guy
that he is said, absolutely not.

124
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,400
We will not sell this movie to
streamers like this is going to

125
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,100
be the movie that saves Cinema.
And the crazy thing about it is

126
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,700
that he was right, like this
100%, right?

127
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,100
This is a James Cameron level,
ballsy move and it paid off in

128
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:22,000
Spades for my man.
I mean, it literally is Tom

129
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,100
Cruise living out every single
movie he made in the 80s and 90s

130
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,000
of him like betting against the
world, that What he had to offer

131
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,100
was greater than anybody
realized, and he was 100%,

132
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,000
right?
And it made just the most

133
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,300
Kick-Ass movie of the 21st
century.

134
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:48,100
Like, it's movie, Just rocks,
bro.

135
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400
All right, let's talk a little
bit about the first Top Gun to

136
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,000
set the stage here.
Brad, have you seen the first

137
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Top Gun from 86 and if so, how
recently did you check it out?

138
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:03,400
I actually just Watched it.
Well, at this point, probably

139
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,400
like eight to ten months ago.
So I watched it may be a few

140
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,800
months before I saw Maverick.
Same for me.

141
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,800
I had never seen Top Gun.
And the thing is like, when you

142
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,700
grow up hearing about Top Gun
and how eighties it is and the

143
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:21,200
shirtless volleyball and like
the homoerotic subtext and the

144
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,900
cheesy synthesizer, Quentin,
Tarantino, right?

145
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,800
If the the cheesy synthesizers
and you know I'm thinking like

146
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,500
oh this is just going to be, you
know, an advertisement for The

147
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:34,299
Navy and for how cool are the
80s and I watched it and I was

148
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:36,799
like, oh, I forgot Tony Scott
makes really freaking good

149
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:38,900
movies.
That movie was thrilling.

150
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,100
Like, yes, it had some of those
elements to it, but I didn't

151
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:46,100
find it to be as overbearing as
some other 80s movies that we've

152
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,700
watched for this podcast.
Wait a second.

153
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,400
So you had not actually seen it
until like just a few months

154
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,600
before Maverick.
Yes.

155
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,700
Oh my gosh, yeah, I mean, I had
seen it probably a decade ago,

156
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,900
when I, you know, getting out of
college area.

157
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,600
So I'd seen it a while back and
I remember enjoying it thinking

158
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,400
like, oh, this is pretty solid
and watching it again right

159
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,200
before I went to see Maverick I
was like, oh man, if they're

160
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,100
able to pull off a 2022 version
of this, this could be pretty

161
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:18,000
daggone incredible.
Yeah, that's the thing, people

162
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,700
don't remember Top Gun,
incredible movie really, really

163
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:24,600
good movie.
And then they do this, and they

164
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,600
just one up themselves.
Yeah.

165
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,700
And I guess where I'd like to
really jump in here.

166
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:30,200
Brad is.
I've heard a lot.

167
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:32,800
A lot of people talk about this
movie and say, this is how you

168
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,900
do a sequel, and I'd really like
to parse out.

169
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,700
What does that mean in the
context of this movie?

170
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,900
Because there are those little
callbacks to the first movie.

171
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:45,400
There's, there's even the really
obvious like wink-wink call back

172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,900
to the first movie.
I don't know if they all work

173
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:52,500
100% perfectly but I think what
a lot of people are trying to

174
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:57,200
get at here, is that the
characters in this movie are

175
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,500
Reckoning with the decisions
they made in the first The.

176
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:03,100
And so there is there's
conversation with the first

177
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:08,100
movie, while not being like,
100% indebted to the first

178
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:09,200
movie.
I don't know if that makes

179
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400
sense.
No, 100%.

180
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,300
I think that the, the really
neat thing about what they do

181
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:19,100
with the script in this is that
the characters of the film.

182
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:21,400
Yes.
They're in conversation with the

183
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,200
activities and actions taken by
themselves, or their parents in

184
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,800
the first film.
And yet, the mission still

185
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600
comes, First.
And I think that they do such a

186
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,200
masterful job of pairing
together.

187
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,900
The the drive, the thing that is
pushing them forward and forcing

188
00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:43,700
them to be the best of the best,
which is, you know, this

189
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,400
Mission.
They have to accomplish with a

190
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:52,800
lot of really important and just
well-written dialogue about who

191
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,800
these people are and you get to
see some good character

192
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,700
development but all of it has
the feel of the original Top

193
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:04,400
Gun, which is that of like
competition and pushing

194
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,800
yourself, and striving to be the
absolute best.

195
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,100
And they do it in just an
incredible way.

196
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,400
And I think the thing that
really puts it over the top is

197
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,600
the fact that they're not just
trying to be the best at

198
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,500
shooting pool, they're trying to
be the best at maneuvering.

199
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:22,900
Some of the most expensive
things humans have ever created

200
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,400
that go really fast and look
really cool.

201
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,000
And the great thing about it is
like all of the military

202
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,100
superiors, remind them of that
fact.

203
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,100
Frequently.
They're always like yeah you put

204
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,300
yourself at risk but you also
put this 50 million dollar piece

205
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:38,300
of Machinery at risk and cigars.
John Hammond thinks.

206
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:40,900
Yeah.
All right.

207
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,500
Let's let's dive in a little bit
on I guess the plot of the movie

208
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,300
and usually what we do is
something called Brad explains

209
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:50,200
where you break down the plot of
the film in 60 seconds or less.

210
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,700
But since we are going speed
round today, I think we should

211
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:55,700
do 30 seconds or less for Top
Gun.

212
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:59,400
Marty, second you get 30 seconds
to explain this movie, I gave

213
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,300
you no warning about It and go,
Tom Cruise is an experimental

214
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:08,200
pilot and then he isn't and he's
teaching young pilots on how to

215
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,300
do this crazy stunts.
One of the pilots is gooses son

216
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,200
and he's angry at him but that
to work through their

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,400
differences to defeat the bad
guys.

218
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:18,600
And then there's a little
Mission Impossible sequence and

219
00:12:18,608 --> 00:12:21,300
they steal an F-16 from the 80s
and escaped.

220
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:26,700
It's actually an F-14 I think.
Oh yeah, you still fail, but

221
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,100
that was only 20 seconds.
So nice job sir.

222
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:30,100
Yeah.
Thanks man.

223
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,600
Man, you did leave out the
entire subplot of Maverick.

224
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,400
Finally, finding love.
That's true.

225
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,900
You know, that really is that
what we go to the theater for is

226
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:45,400
that?
I mean, listen, if that is

227
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,500
almost.
It's like what two and a half

228
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,200
hours.
It's a pretty long movie.

229
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,900
Yeah.
It's like yeah, 215, something

230
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:54,000
like that to 22 to 20 and 20
seconds.

231
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:55,900
Yeah, you know.
Okay.

232
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,100
All right.
I went to see this movie in the

233
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,400
Peter for a third time, the
other day in preparation for

234
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,300
this episode because they
re-released it at Christmastime,

235
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,600
just hoping to squeeze a little
more money out of this thing.

236
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,700
It has incredible legs.
I mean, it came out in like

237
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:13,400
April, so then I got them April
or May.

238
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,800
And it got the Memorial Day
bump, it got the Father's Day

239
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,000
bump, they got it like and then
just kept stretching and

240
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
stretching.
It got the Labor Day bump, like

241
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,400
it was just incredible.
How long this thing played in

242
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,600
theaters and one of our best
friends, Mike Giles still had

243
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,100
not seen this movie.
I've been trying to get him to

244
00:13:29,108 --> 00:13:33,000
go see if her forever.
Michael and I'm like, Mike, it's

245
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,300
dudes.
Fly in Planes.

246
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:37,800
Like, what more motivation do
you need to go see this movie?

247
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,000
I'll tell you what, what?
I was really looking for.

248
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Was this after the second time I
saw this movie in theaters, I

249
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,800
started to get a little bit like
pretentious and, like film,

250
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,700
critically about it and I was
like, okay, the script is kind

251
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:54,000
of bad and a lot of the dialogue
is like Maverick.

252
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
You used to be the best and
Maverick being like what I ain't

253
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,600
done yet.
Like there's just a lot of that

254
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,500
kind of stuff going on in here.
And I'm like, ah, like this is

255
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:05,400
really bad dialogue guy, really
liked this movie.

256
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,700
But can I really be 100% on the
like?

257
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,500
Whoa, Top Gun Mavericks, the
best ever.

258
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,900
And I have to admit, I was
wavering and I went to go see

259
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:16,900
Avatar the way of water, and I'm
like, Jim Cameron.

260
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:19,200
You've done it again.
Like, it's a really good movie.

261
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,800
Let's go.
Try Top Gun for a third time and

262
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,800
see what's going on.
And I gotta say, dude, top gun.

263
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Maverick is a better movie than
Avatar, the way of water and it

264
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,500
is, it is one of the best action
movies I've ever seen it.

265
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:36,900
Like, I just paid attention this
time to the editing and like the

266
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:40,000
sheer volume of what they had to
stitch together.

267
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,800
In some of these sequences is
stagger.

268
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,800
I don't know how they got.
So much footage for some of

269
00:14:46,808 --> 00:14:49,200
these like in-flight aerial
sequences.

270
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,900
It's incredible, man.
This movie is, it's not just oh

271
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:55,700
this is a cool movie.
This is a fun movie, this is a

272
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,800
real feat of filmmaking.
The type of which we only see

273
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,800
one In a generation.
I think, yeah, what Tom is able

274
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:11,700
to do with the camera to create
the movie.

275
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,900
Let's Talk 100% directed this
movie Bob.

276
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,800
Like all everyone in the credits
is just an alias for Tom Cruise

277
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,600
who wouldn't put it past him.
Jennifer Connelly, actually just

278
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:33,000
Tom Cruise wear the wig, okay?
What they are able to do with

279
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,500
the cameras in this movie to
give you the experience of being

280
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:43,700
a fighter pilot is beyond
recognized.

281
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,300
Yeah, like the I just Don't know
how you're able to do it, so

282
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:54,400
seamlessly and just give you the
utter exhilaration of being a

283
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,500
fighter pilot.
And I think that the reason I

284
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:01,800
call Tom out specifically, is
because he is, he has such a

285
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,100
desire to truly immerse people
into action.

286
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,100
And I know how deeply he works
with the directors and with the

287
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:14,800
editors and how involved he was,
especially in this movie that,

288
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,800
you know, like you said, he
didn't work.

289
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,800
On for over a decade at this
point.

290
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Yeah, man, and I feel like there
is to some extent.

291
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,600
There's not much we can say
about the making of this movie.

292
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:27,300
Like people people kind of Pride
themselves on knowing some of

293
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:31,700
the backstory here, the way that
they fit it out, these fighter

294
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:34,700
jets with cameras so that the
actors could sit in the back

295
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:37,100
seat and the pilot in the front
seat, but it looked like the

296
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:39,300
actors are flying the planes,
but they really were in the

297
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:42,500
plains and they would go up for
hours at a time and the actors

298
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,800
would kind of be responsible for
filming themselves.

299
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,800
They had to learn cinematography
techniques and editing

300
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,300
techniques.
To be able to capture their own

301
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:54,000
takes of what was going on as
they were up in the air for a

302
00:16:54,008 --> 00:16:56,500
couple hours.
And I mean it's just it's an

303
00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:01,200
incredible collaborative effort
but it's also like this is Tom

304
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,400
Cruise's movie like from front
to back and not just as an

305
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,400
actor.
But this is really like I said,

306
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,900
this is his crowning achievement
in terms of having his

307
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,700
fingerprints on every part of
this movie.

308
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:17,000
Yeah.
And what an honor for like, for

309
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,900
all of these young actors you
know, like Miles Teller is a

310
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:24,800
star in his own right by now,
but for all the rest of them,

311
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,600
like, can you imagine working
with Tom Cruise on this movie?

312
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,400
How awesome that would be?
Like there's not a lot of movies

313
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,900
that have this much of an
ensemble cast where there's such

314
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:42,800
an obvious difference between
the lower Echelon actors.

315
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,400
One of the greatest stars of all
time.

316
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,100
All right, well, let's talk a
little bit about those actors

317
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,200
and let's go to performances
here.

318
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:53,700
I think maybe we should start
with those younger.

319
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,700
You know, the people in The
Academy here in Top Gun Academy

320
00:17:58,100 --> 00:17:59,900
and like, I don't know that we
need to go through each and

321
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:02,500
every one of them.
I am a big fan of bob bobs.

322
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:06,800
Bob is my guy, my favorite scene
in this watch through is when

323
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,900
they're all playing.
Like what is it called?

324
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:12,600
A fighter pilot football, or
whatever, on the beach?

325
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:15,900
Play offense and defense at the
same time and that scene ends

326
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,800
with everyone lifting up Bob and
chanting Bobby.

327
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,300
Yeah, Bob and I was like, yeah,
this is my dream.

328
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:25,000
This is this is exactly what my
dream is being carried off a

329
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,200
beach by fighter pilots, who are
chanting my name and you're just

330
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,200
slathered in like Sons.
Yeah, you know like why not I

331
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,800
think Bob does a great job I
think you like honestly I think

332
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,600
they all do a really good job.
The two people that you really

333
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,100
need to focus in on our miles
Color as rooster and Glen Powell

334
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:49,600
as hangman.
And Glen, Powell is a superstar

335
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,100
in the making.
Like that guy just has the face

336
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:55,500
and the jaw lie of a guy that's
like destined for superstardom

337
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,600
of the future, Tom Cruise.
Yeah, like a hundred percent and

338
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,300
thing is like, he's the cocky
pull.

339
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:02,700
In this movie, he is the
Maverick of this movie.

340
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:05,700
That's the thing.
Is that like rooster is the

341
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:08,200
Iceman in a lot of ways and
like, ice man had his own

342
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,600
Swagger in the first one, but
ice was known for being cool,

343
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,100
under pressure and for not
spring.

344
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,900
NG into action all the time and
Tom Cruise's character.

345
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:18,700
Maverick was known for being the
hothead and and not caring

346
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:20,700
about, you know, putting
everybody else in danger.

347
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,600
And now you see that Dynamic
flipped where it's like, oh no

348
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,400
hangman.
The Maverick of this movie is

349
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,500
kind of the bad guy.
He's the dick and he's the worst

350
00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:33,400
and Glen Powell plays it so well
because it's not simply a

351
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,600
one-dimensional 80s, you know,
villain.

352
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,600
We're like your family came to
the ski resort and disguise like

353
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,200
I could ski faster than you
like, it's not like that.

354
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,000
He he truly does have a point
with telling rooster, like you

355
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,300
can't be as cautious as you are,
and they play this really

356
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:53,000
wonderful yin-yang with each
other.

357
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,800
And I got to say, man, like
Miles Teller might be at this

358
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,700
stage of his career, the better
actor than Glen Powell, but

359
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:02,700
roosters also a much more
complicated and layered

360
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:07,200
character and so in every scene
Miles Teller has a lot more to

361
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,800
do, and Glen Powell gets like
one line and it's kind of Gish

362
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:15,700
and it's amazing how How much
your eyes are drawn to Glen.

363
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:18,900
Powell like he just has a
commanding screen presence.

364
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,400
For someone who is like, you
know, the fourth fifth, most

365
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,900
important character in this
movie.

366
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:28,600
Yeah, he has a way of
commanding, the attention of the

367
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,400
viewer just with his physicality
in his presence.

368
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,100
And you you don't want to like
him but you can't help but

369
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:41,600
understand his point of view and
what he's trying to tell rooster

370
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,100
throughout the film.
And I, yeah.

371
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:46,100
I'm with you. 100% on Glen
Powell in this.

372
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:49,400
I've been a big Miles Teller fan
for a long time now, probably,

373
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200
since he was in a movie called
The Spectacular, Now, back in

374
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,500
2013, and then Whiplash happen,
and I was like, yeah, I'm on

375
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:57,200
board for whatever this kid
wants to do.

376
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,800
Dude, Whiplash, it's such a good
movie.

377
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:03,600
I remember, reading a profile of
Miles Teller that, I think it

378
00:21:03,608 --> 00:21:08,900
was in GQ back in about 20, 15
or so, and he seemed, like, just

379
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:11,700
the most full of himself person,
ever, and I was like, oh, that's

380
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:13,100
a bummer.
And I don't know.

381
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,700
Like I don't know if life has
kind of leveled him out a little

382
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:20,400
bit but I'm really I'm ready for
the the teller science here.

383
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,400
Like I'm ready for him to like
finally come into his own and

384
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,000
take off as a movie star because
I think that he has the ability

385
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,100
to be a star and he also has the
acting chops to be a really good

386
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:33,100
actor along with it.
Mmm.

387
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,000
Yeah, I'm with you dude.
Ever since I saw him in

388
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,500
Whiplash, I have been just a fan
of anything that he does and I'm

389
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,100
with you, I I think the real
question to ask about Miles

390
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:49,500
Teller is mustache.
Yay, or nay, I'm going to say,

391
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:55,400
yay, it is a bit wispy, but he
pulls it off and he pulls it.

392
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,900
Like, I know for a fact I cannot
pull off a mustache, it takes a

393
00:21:59,908 --> 00:22:02,300
very particular kind of man to
pull off the mustache.

394
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:06,000
I think a, it helps that all
these dudes are jacked.

395
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Yeah.
So it doesn't look accidental.

396
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:09,500
You know what I mean?
Like, you can tell that they're

397
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:11,900
taking care of themselves, so,
the mustache is clearly on

398
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:12,900
purpose.
Mmm.

399
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,600
If Miles Teller was like 50
pounds overweight and tried that

400
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,400
mustache to be like, oh, okay.
You've just you've just got to

401
00:22:19,408 --> 00:22:20,700
try beard?
Yeah.

402
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:23,600
Right.
I don't know how about you

403
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,400
mustache?
I think I met on the mustache.

404
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:29,800
There.
There are not many mustachioed

405
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,000
men out there that I would
approve of.

406
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,500
Okay, I'm glad that we settled
that, let's talk a little bit

407
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:38,900
about, I don't know.
The rest of the military people.

408
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:41,400
Ed Harris shows up for a couple
minutes and he's great because

409
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,500
he said Harris, I actually I
want to focus in, on a scene

410
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:47,300
with Ed Harris, is maybe in the
second a good.

411
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:50,100
It's like, it's like the thesis
statement of the movie, but he's

412
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,800
gone after about ten minutes and
he's replaced by Jon Hamm.

413
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,600
Who, once again, I don't know
what it is with Jon Hamm and me,

414
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,800
but like, I never 100% by, what
Jon Hamm is doing.

415
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:03,400
I just don't know what it, I
really like him and I think he's

416
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,800
a good actor but I just like not
always believable for me.

417
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:10,900
And even here, he's like I buy
him as a guy who dislikes

418
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:15,000
Maverick, I don't buy him as a
high-ranking official in the US

419
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,500
Navy had.
And I don't know, I just all of

420
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:20,100
Madmen.
I watched the first full season

421
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:23,000
of Mad Men and select episodes
following that.

422
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,300
Okay, so like all right, I want
to show.

423
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,000
Yeah, he's incredible.
I think that that role just fits

424
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,300
him so perfectly that I don't
know if it's, you know, he acted

425
00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:39,000
as way into a corner for Himself
like talent-wise?

426
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,600
Or if he I like it just seems to
be his bit that he's slightly

427
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,500
reserved and like has a secret
all the time.

428
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:52,600
And like, that was his big thing
in Mad Men.

429
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,700
And I, I just think that it
carries over into every single

430
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:59,900
role he takes.
And it doesn't fit every role,

431
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:01,900
but that's kind of who he is
now.

432
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:04,700
And so, I don't think it's
necessary that he's Don Draper.

433
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:10,600
I think it's just that he He was
that character for so long that

434
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,700
he always holds something back
from his roles.

435
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,600
Do you know what I think it is?
I think that he tries to find an

436
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,200
edge to his characters that I
don't know if he's truly capable

437
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,600
of conveying and I think what
he's going for is what Bradley

438
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,900
Cooper actually does really well
listening to podcast.

439
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:34,300
The other day was talking about
how like when Bradley Cooper did

440
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:36,600
Silver Linings Playbook?
The director of that movie

441
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,400
basically.
It was like I saw before anybody

442
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,300
else that what Bradley Cooper's
best treat is is his his ability

443
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:47,500
to be driven by anger and in
every character he's played

444
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:49,800
since then he's a character
that's driven by Angela even

445
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,600
licorice pizza.
He's it's funny but like he just

446
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,900
blows up at people and you know
that's what's so great about his

447
00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:59,800
performance in American Sniper.
It's like a very calm chaotic

448
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,100
build inside his head, but he's
driven by anger and I think that

449
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:07,100
with Jon Hamm he's trying to do
the Bradley Cooper but he just

450
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,100
Doesn't quite get there and I
can makes me wonder now like how

451
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:11,600
would Bradley Cooper be in this
role?

452
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,600
So I don't know.
Yeah, well I think that's all

453
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,100
fascinating stuff but I want to
drink some whiskey.

454
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,400
So how about we get into this
Bardstown bourbon company

455
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,300
origin?
Series?

456
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:23,700
That sounds good to me.
We'll come back.

457
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,400
We'll talk about Jennifer
Connelly and Tom Cruise, but

458
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:35,200
let's drink some whiskey.
Alright, today, we are trying

459
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,600
bardstown's origin series.
Now again, Brad alluded to this

460
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,000
but this is the first release
from Bardstown that is made

461
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,200
solely of their own distillate.
And we've got three incredible

462
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,100
Expressions here.
The first one we're going to

463
00:25:49,108 --> 00:25:50,600
try.
It's the origin series.

464
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,200
Kentucky Straight Bourbon
whiskey.

465
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:55,400
It's 6 years old.
It's a high ride bourbon Mash

466
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,100
bill.
There's 36 percent Rye in the

467
00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,200
mash Bill and they're releasing
it at 90.

468
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,500
Six proof, they have like a
whole list of reasons.

469
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:04,200
They want to release it at 96
proof, but we're going to take

470
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,200
them at their word that they say
that this just happened to be

471
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,900
the one that tested best.
And I'm excited to try it, man.

472
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,700
Let's, let's give it a nose and
a taste and give our our

473
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:15,400
thoughts.
On this 96, proofer?

474
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,600
Oh man.
Bob that is, that is really

475
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,500
nice.
It's really bright on the nose.

476
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:25,900
There's a lot of like I orange
blue.

477
00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:29,800
Just gonna say orange and like,
hmm.

478
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,400
Almost like a grapefruit kind of
citrusy.

479
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:37,500
I like that a lot.
All right, I'm interested to

480
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:38,900
hear.
We have to say about the flavor

481
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:42,100
because I have thoughts.
The only one of these three that

482
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:44,900
I had tried prior to tonight was
the second one that we're going

483
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:48,300
to try, which is 100 proofer
which I loved.

484
00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:51,400
This one is very Because 100
proof or is a weeded Mash bill.

485
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,400
This is a high-rise.
You're a reigai.

486
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,900
What do you think of this one?
I was going to say, it gets a

487
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:00,700
little bit minty.
Mmm, throughout.

488
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,100
There's a little bit of that
Rice spice coming through for

489
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:05,500
me.
It's a little bit creamy.

490
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:08,900
I really like what they have
going on here.

491
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,900
Yeah, it's not a very sweet
bourbon.

492
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,700
Like it definitely goes more Oak
heavy and it's not grainy, but

493
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:18,700
like the spice is there, the
black pepper is there.

494
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,000
It does have some of those kind
of minty Rye notes to it.

495
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Brad.
You're absolutely right.

496
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,200
I think subsequent sips prepared
me for that better but I'm going

497
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,300
to go ahead and go on record and
say, the 96 proof actually was

498
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:33,700
the perfect proof to release
this.

499
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:35,900
This thing packs a punch at 96
proof.

500
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,900
It gave me a heck of a Kentucky
hug on the way down.

501
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,800
I'm really impressed with this
even if it's not necessarily my

502
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:48,200
preferred flavor wheelhouse.
Yeah, dude, I am a huge fan of

503
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,500
this.
It's got some really nice

504
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:55,600
oakiness almost gets into some
like Christmas spices on the on

505
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,500
the Finish little bit of
molasses, kind of a feel, almost

506
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:04,500
like a gingerbread cookie.
I really like this bourbon a

507
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:06,200
lot, man.
All right, we're going to move

508
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,700
into what I think will be my
favorite one on the day.

509
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:10,800
Like I said, the only one I've
tried so far.

510
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,400
This is there, 100 Proof bottled
and bond.

511
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,100
It is a weeded Mash Bill
featuring, 20% wheat.

512
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:20,800
It's a six year old bourbon.
Coming in at 100 Proof.

513
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,300
Brad, what are you picking up on
the nose on this one?

514
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:27,400
Man, this one gets a little bit
sweeter.

515
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,100
Mmm, it's got vanilla, it's got
caramel it.

516
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:35,700
Almost gets a little bit into,
like, a fruity, like juicy Peach

517
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:38,900
type of feel.
I really like this knows.

518
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,900
Bob it reminds me of like a
pineapple upside down cake, but

519
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:45,300
if you swap the pineapple ever
peaches, it's like it's

520
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:48,100
caramely.
It's bready, but it's definitely

521
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:51,100
got that layer of vanilla.
There's some Maple going on

522
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:54,200
here.
It almost tips into like, like,

523
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:57,200
Knob Creek territory for me.
I have a Knob Creek Single

524
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,700
Barrel.
That I'm really liking right now

525
00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:02,100
and it's almost into that like,
nuttiness but not quite there.

526
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,000
It's more of like a freshly
baked bread or cake to go along

527
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,100
with that.
Wonderful note of peachy were

528
00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:09,900
picking up.
I'm going to give it a sip, I'm

529
00:29:09,900 --> 00:29:11,100
assuming you're already stepping
on it.

530
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,800
So give us your notes Brad.
Yeah.

531
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,700
It stays in that kind of stone,
fruit Peach.

532
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:21,100
Feel it gets a little bit
caramely, but literally, to the

533
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:25,600
point of almost being like, like
a A toffee.

534
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Like there's a chocolaty feel to
this and smooth and velvety Bob

535
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:33,900
Parts, on Bourbon company makes
makes good whiskey.

536
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:35,800
This is damn good.
This is really good.

537
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,900
I brought I just love weeded
bourbon, it's just my favorite

538
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:43,100
kind of whiskey.
Like yep, everything I love

539
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:46,200
about bourbon is here in this.
It's really decadent really

540
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,900
sweet waves of caramel, waves of
vanilla.

541
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,800
I will say, right when I went to
swallow, that same thing

542
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,100
happened that happened on the
first one.

543
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,600
It gets this one.
Almost gets a little bit tannic

544
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,000
to me like it made my mouth
pucker a little bit and it kind

545
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,700
of dried out my tongue a little
bit.

546
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:04,600
It's not just okey but it's
almost tannic and it turns

547
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,500
slightly bitter.
That's the only note that I can

548
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:09,900
give on this.
That I don't really care for but

549
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,500
overall, I mean, this is like
right in the Wheelhouse if you

550
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,400
like Weller.
You're going to love this if you

551
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400
like Rebel Yell.
You're going to love this

552
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,700
really, really good stuff here.
Yeah.

553
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:27,400
And then honestly, if I can move
into the Rye Bob, this is some

554
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,000
damn good.
All right.

555
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,300
So this one is also clocking in
at, 96 proof.

556
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,900
I have not tried it yet.
Brad, I'll allow you to sway me,

557
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,900
as I give it a nosing.
Nosh this has all sorts of like

558
00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:46,100
really fresh cherry going on.
I think it gets into a little

559
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:47,900
bit of spiciness right on the
nose.

560
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:50,400
It gets into some cinnamon, some
clove.

561
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:54,200
I love this nose.
Yeah, it's definitely Raw.

562
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:58,900
Why forward this smells like a
almost like unbaked rye bread

563
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:02,000
dough there's some dill on it
for me it's almost in that like

564
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,900
more sour rye as opposed to the
mint irae.

565
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,900
I really like it though.
I'm excited to see if it has

566
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:10,700
sweetness to it or if it stays
in that like really grain

567
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:15,100
forward kind of palette.
Now, for me, as I get into the

568
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:21,300
palette that it has all of the
Rye punch up front and then it

569
00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:24,600
sits on your palate for a little
bit and almost turns into like a

570
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:29,500
really soft vanilla almost like
a shortbread cookie for me.

571
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:34,400
Mmm.
And the the finish on this has a

572
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,500
little bit of spiciness but it
finishes with all sorts of

573
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:42,000
really nice, soft, sweet notes,
it's vanilla.

574
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,100
It's caramel.
It's it almost turns nutty for

575
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:47,700
me a tiny bit almost like a like
an almond.

576
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:53,300
I think this is an incredible R.
I usually when I when I go nuts

577
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:55,700
for a ride it's because it
starts off a little bit sweet

578
00:31:55,700 --> 00:32:00,200
and then get spicy this one for
me starts off spicy and moves

579
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:04,500
into those sweeter areas and I'm
a huge fan.

580
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,100
I do think this is the thinnest
mouthfeel of the three like it's

581
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:13,600
a little bit thinner for me and
I think it almost drinks like a

582
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,200
almost like an 80 proof bourbon.
Like there's a little bit of

583
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,400
sweetness there.
It's it's kind of hokey it

584
00:32:21,408 --> 00:32:24,200
reminds me of like some of the
lower proof, Buffalo Trace

585
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,800
offerings like a benchmark, but
definitely more on the rise side

586
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,200
of things.
It's really Pleasant.

587
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,200
And I think inoffensive and in
my again, it might just be,

588
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,400
because I'm not as big of a ride
Drinker as Brad is.

589
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:39,200
But for me, if I had to rank
these from one, two, three, I

590
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,900
think I would go, 100 Proof
bourbon, 96, proof Bourbon, and

591
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:49,200
then this Rye, Yeah, I think I
would go Rye just a little bit

592
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,800
above the bottle and bonds and
then the there, their regular

593
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,200
bourbon.
Oh, the second sip of that ride,

594
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,700
Bro, I might be on board with
you man.

595
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:00,800
Oh yeah, I'm telling you man
it's a damn good rock.

596
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,700
Got really good all of a sudden.
Oh yeah.

597
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:06,100
Okay the rise.
Number two actually the Rye

598
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:09,700
might be number one.
This is slowly creeping up here.

599
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,800
Bob I'm telling you man, you sit
with it for long enough.

600
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:16,700
There's just so much complexity
there, man.

601
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:17,600
Yeah.
Wow.

602
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,100
And I was comparing it to
Benchmark.

603
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,100
A minute ago.
Shame on me.

604
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,200
I wasn't going to say anything.
Wow.

605
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,300
All right.
So I guess We're saying here is

606
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:29,000
that all three of these are
really good and all three of

607
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
these could be our favorite on
any day of the week.

608
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,400
And that's kind of par for the
course with Bardstown bourbon

609
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,000
company.
We really love what they're

610
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,200
doing.
We always have, I'm super pumped

611
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,200
that they're finally releasing,
their own distillate, not

612
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,100
blended with anything else, and
they can hang their hat on these

613
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:45,000
three Expressions.
I think, if you can find any of

614
00:33:45,008 --> 00:33:48,300
these on the Shelf, they're
definitely all worth picking up.

615
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:51,100
I would give a wholehearted
recommendation to the bottled

616
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:53,800
and bond and to, the Rye.
Yeah, 100%.

617
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,600
This Rye is Edible and the
bottle and bond and their their

618
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,300
regular bourbon are both nothing
to sneeze at sneeze at either.

619
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:05,800
So, get yourself some origin
series Bardstown.

620
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,300
Berman company guys.
Well, Brad, are you ready to

621
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:13,000
return to the danger zone?
Dude, I was born ready.

622
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:20,199
All right.
That was the origin series from

623
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,900
Bardstown bourbon company.
We are freaking pumped about

624
00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:25,199
that.
We are also pumped about Cruz.

625
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,600
Miss Mary greedy, for two facts
in a falsehood Bob.

626
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,300
Oh, did you, did you prepare to
fax in a falsehood For Crews?

627
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:35,500
Miss fax number one.
My goddamn Cruz is awesome.

628
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,500
Fact, number two, Tom Cruise.
Maybe one of the greatest movie

629
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:43,300
actors of all time.
Fax number three, Tom Cruise

630
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:48,500
blows the big one.
Because Leslie 3, that is the

631
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,699
falsehood good job.
I did it.

632
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Let's talk about the last two
big names in this movie.

633
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,100
Jennifer Connelly as Penny and
Tom Cruise as Maverick.

634
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:01,900
Jennifer.
Connelly does a very commendable

635
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:05,200
job here because her character
is ridiculous.

636
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,900
She is a single mom talking
about Bob's, a single mom who

637
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:12,300
owns the nicest bar in that area
of the country.

638
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:16,500
And she apparently works it by
herself on a Friday night

639
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:18,800
serving.
Guests at a time.

640
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,100
She's a supermodel.
She rocks the hell out of a pair

641
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:24,400
of jeans.
I mean, just an absolute smoke

642
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,900
show, if we're being honest
Brad.

643
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,200
Like, yeah, she's great.
She's also not a real human

644
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,400
being and I think Jennifer
Connelly does the absolute

645
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,400
utmost she can with one of the
most ridiculous characters I've

646
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,200
ever seen.
I love Jennifer Connelly, man.

647
00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:41,000
Dude, ever since A Beautiful
Mind.

648
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,900
Like exactly.
That was well maybe maybe dating

649
00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:46,800
myself here.
She's obviously has been famous

650
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,300
for much longer than a Double
mind.

651
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:52,200
But like I remember seeing a
beautiful mind in theaters, when

652
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,800
I was like, I just turned 11 and
I was like, who is that lady?

653
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,600
Because she is a real pretty.
And that's what that's what,

654
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:00,800
that's what hooked me.
And then I watched her

655
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,000
performance, she wins an Oscar
for it.

656
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Like, she's so good in that
movie.

657
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,600
And I'm so happy to see that.
She is like, back on top of

658
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,500
people's minds again because
she's great.

659
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:13,700
Yeah, I really love Jennifer
Connelly in this.

660
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:17,500
I think that she plays she's a
perfect counterpart.

661
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,400
Or Tom Cruise at this stage of
his career in that she is so

662
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,700
self-confident.
She knows what she wants to do

663
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:29,800
as an actress that with
everybody else in this film

664
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,800
being really young and, you
know, not just in the in the

665
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,400
shadow of Maverick but also in
the shadow of Tom Cruise, I

666
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,100
think he really needed somebody
like Jennifer Connelly to play

667
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:45,000
the, I mean, I don't know about
second lead, third lead,

668
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,600
whatever you want to call it,
but she plays opposite of Tommy

669
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,000
An incredibly well and holds her
own.

670
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,000
Yeah, I mean I was listening to
a review of this and they were

671
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,200
talking about how Tom Cruise
hasn't really had a believable

672
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,400
love interest in a movie for
like 20 years.

673
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,400
And a lot of that is just that
Tom Cruise's characters have

674
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,800
become very sexless characters.
Like he's just the guy who jumps

675
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,100
off buildings instead of the guy
who's a woman and I mean it's

676
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:10,700
kind of true.
This is the first time that you

677
00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:15,500
really get to see Intimacy in a
Tom Cruise movie in a long long

678
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:18,600
time and it's not like sex.
It's just Just like it really

679
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,100
that sex scene in this movie is
Tom Cruise is shirtless and you

680
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,800
see him lay her down in a bed
and then you just see them like

681
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,200
giggling for a while and then
they're talking about deep

682
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,600
stuff.
And once again, I think that

683
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:36,800
it's a credit to the movie that
its Chief concern is showing the

684
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,300
maturity of Maverick showing how
Maverick grows up.

685
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:44,100
Even though he's in his 50s,
right, that this is like this is

686
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:46,800
the kind of relationship that
two mature adults should have

687
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:49,900
and I really, really loved that.
I think it was a great touch,

688
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:52,100
like I don't know if it's just
something weird within

689
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,500
Scientology, that Tom Cruise
doesn't do sex scenes or

690
00:37:54,508 --> 00:37:58,400
whatever.
But like, in this instance, the

691
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,600
the very chaste nature of their
relationship.

692
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,700
I think actually thematically
helped.

693
00:38:04,700 --> 00:38:05,700
What?
They were trying to do in the

694
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:07,900
movie.
Bob, are you really going to

695
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:09,900
bring up Scientology on cruise
missile?

696
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,400
Do scientologists celebrate
Christmas.

697
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,700
I hope they do.
I thought you were gonna ask

698
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:20,100
him.
They have sex that juice, who

699
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:22,900
knows?
Knows who's to say.

700
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,000
All right man.
Let's talk about Tom Cruise.

701
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Like, I don't know what else to
do here.

702
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:31,500
The reason we save him for last
because, obviously, it's his

703
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,000
movie.
But Brad, I think the most

704
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:36,600
obvious, like, I almost don't
even want to bring it up.

705
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,000
The obvious thing about this
movie is that it is a Meta

706
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,700
commentary on Tom Cruise
himself, right?

707
00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:49,800
Like there is that scene with Ed
Harris where he's like, you

708
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,300
know, what does he say?
As he walks out, he's like,

709
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,600
you're about to be obsolete.
We don't need your kind anymore.

710
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,300
And Tom Cruise turns around and
says, maybe so sir, but not

711
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:04,100
today, and I would not today.
Only, yeah, Cruise Miss baby

712
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:09,600
like Christmas and it's a very
obvious I don't want to call it

713
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,100
a metaphor.
It's it is an allusion to the

714
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:15,500
fact that Tom Cruise is part of
a Dying Breed which is movie

715
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:17,300
stars.
We don't have movie stars

716
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:19,600
anymore.
Who else who else out there?

717
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,300
Can open a movie like this and
make it have the legs to make a

718
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:25,500
billion and a half dollars at
the box office?

719
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:32,100
Leo DiCaprio is probably the
youngest real Mega wattage movie

720
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:34,900
star that we have anymore and
he's like almost 50.

721
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,100
Really?
There's nobody younger than him.

722
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,600
I mean, Like can you think of a
person that can open a movie on

723
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:46,300
the scale of a Leo?
Like just based on, I want to go

724
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,900
see the new blank movie with
their name.

725
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:52,700
Cert like there's just like
stardom is measured differently

726
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:55,200
than it used to be.
Yeah I used to just go see the

727
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,500
new Denzel or the new Tom Hanks
and now it's like that movie

728
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:02,400
looks cool because it's
Spider-Man and also Tom Holland

729
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,400
is in it and I like Tom Holland
because he is Spider-Man.

730
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,300
Yeah yeah and then you have
people like Downey jr.

731
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:11,900
Doing something like Doolittle
right?

732
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:15,000
That's yeah, so I guess what I'm
saying is like, Tom Cruise knows

733
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:19,900
that he is our one of our Last
of a Dying Breed.

734
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,200
And this movie is very much.
The story of how Tom Cruise

735
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,300
saves Cinema.
In addition, to being the story

736
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:31,500
of how Maverick Saves the Day.
Yeah, I think he's also not just

737
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:35,700
talking about like superstardom
I think he's also pointing out

738
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:41,000
the use of man.
Annual mechanical filmmaking

739
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:47,200
techniques, rather than CGI and
how that is a Dying Breed among

740
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,900
filmmakers that there's just not
as much use of practical effects

741
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:55,000
that there's this massive
Reliance on, you know,

742
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,900
computer-generated images and
for him, that's not what a movie

743
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:02,500
is.
And so I for me when I heard Ed

744
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:06,600
Harris deliver that line, I took
it to be more about the craft

745
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,900
and the Art of filmmaking.
Being more so than just, you

746
00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:14,000
know, I'm Tom Cruise, I am a
superstar, although I know it's

747
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,900
about that as well.
All right, I want to close out

748
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:20,100
today.
Before we get final scores, I

749
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:21,500
don't think we need to make it a
double today.

750
00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:24,100
It's pretty obvious, double
watch Top Gun and then watch top

751
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:27,700
gun.
Maverick does Tom Cruise deserve

752
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:30,800
an Oscar for this movie.
And I say that because I think

753
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,500
the real question is like, does
he deserve to be nominated?

754
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:36,500
Because everything I'm seeing
right now is like he was a

755
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,300
shoo-in to be nominated.
And now at the end of the year,

756
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:41,900
he's like, teetering on the edge
of whether he'll be nominated.

757
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:45,300
I think it's 100%.
Yes, he should be nominated.

758
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,800
Added but I want to go back to
that argument.

759
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,900
We've had for so long about if
we really want to respect the

760
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,900
ego stroking that is method
acting.

761
00:41:56,900 --> 00:42:00,300
What is more method than flying?
A fucking plane.

762
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:06,900
Like this man is diving off of
cliffs and parachuting, down

763
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:12,500
mountains and flying planes for
your enjoyment and also he's a

764
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:15,300
really good actor.
Like what more do you need?

765
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,300
Need and again in a year like
this where we're still bouncing

766
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:23,100
back from covid and the movies
are still not really all the way

767
00:42:23,107 --> 00:42:26,900
back to what they used to be.
If we didn't have top gun

768
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:29,900
Maverick this year, this year
would have been an absolute

769
00:42:29,900 --> 00:42:31,800
financial disaster for the movie
industry.

770
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:37,100
Like, my man literally saved
Christmas for for the movie

771
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:39,700
industry.
Yeah, I just thought, how do you

772
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:43,900
not honor that?
I don't know, man, for me.

773
00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:46,600
I feel like this should be his
Revenant.

774
00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:50,200
Like, I don't know how Tom
Cruise doesn't have an Oscar

775
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,900
like some of his early films.
I think are some of his best

776
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:56,300
acting.
Some of the middle years of his

777
00:42:56,300 --> 00:42:59,000
career, I think he was really
honing in on what it meant to be

778
00:42:59,008 --> 00:43:03,300
an action star.
And at this point, I think he

779
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:07,500
really kind of coalesces.
Both of those things in one

780
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:11,600
movie in Top Gun Maverick.
And so, beyond the fact that

781
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:16,900
this movie saved Cinema for a
year at least and the amount of

782
00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:19,100
work and dedication, he put into
it.

783
00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:22,900
I think, I think he just
deserves it based on the body of

784
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:24,200
work of his career.
Here.

785
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:26,700
Yeah.
And I mean, like, we always seem

786
00:43:26,700 --> 00:43:30,300
to get pissed off when we talk
about past Oscars and, you know,

787
00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:33,700
like the year that the Godfather
to came out.

788
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:37,400
They gave the Academy Award to a
guy named Art Carney, who was a

789
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:42,100
well, respected older actor and
comedian, and it was basically

790
00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:44,500
like this is your Lifetime
Achievement Award Art Carney.

791
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:47,000
But then, if you go through and
look at the list of best actor,

792
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,100
nominees that year, it's like
Pacino and Godfather Part 2 and

793
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:54,600
Nicholson in Chinatown.
Like it's just, it was a Regis

794
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,300
in retrospect.
And I guess what?

795
00:43:57,300 --> 00:44:00,300
I don't care in this instance,
like, give Tom Cruise a freaking

796
00:44:00,300 --> 00:44:03,000
Oscar.
I like, I think Colin Farrell

797
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,700
maybe gave the best performance
all year and I would love to see

798
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:08,800
him win but not really at the
expense of Tom Cruise at this

799
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,800
point, like my guy is going to
end up killing himself, doing

800
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,500
some dumb stunt to try to win an
Oscar.

801
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:18,200
Like please, please just get an
Oscar do get a posthumus what.

802
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,600
All right, man, move man.
What kind of score you give in

803
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,500
Top Gun Maverick?
I will give it a nine and a half

804
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:28,300
out of ten.
I'm giving it a night and a half

805
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:31,000
as well.
This is its dude, it is as good

806
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,500
as advertised and then say yes
yes 100% I really want to give

807
00:44:35,500 --> 00:44:38,700
it a 10.
It's not a perfect movie but

808
00:44:38,700 --> 00:44:40,600
man.
Oh man, is it good?

809
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,800
I'm gonna be real though, I have
not been able.

810
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:47,200
So like we have a copy of it
that you and I share that we can

811
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,300
watch on our TVs.
And I'm like, I tried to turn on

812
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:52,400
the first 10 minutes of it, and
I'm like, this is not working

813
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,800
for me on TV, like I need to go
back to the During see it.

814
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,000
And that's why as part of the
reason I went and saw it again

815
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,000
while it's still out.
I wonder how much this is going

816
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,300
to suffer from the in-home
experience as opposed to the

817
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:06,500
theater experience.
But like at the same time, I've

818
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:08,200
seen it three times in the
theater and I still think it's a

819
00:45:08,207 --> 00:45:10,100
nine and a half.
So like, what does that tell

820
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:11,700
you?
Yeah, yeah.

821
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:13,200
This is an incredible movie
guys.

822
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,100
Go watch it.
Merry Christmas, Merry

823
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:17,700
Christmas.
I can't wait to do this again

824
00:45:17,700 --> 00:45:20,400
next year.
Yeah, dude, I will have to think

825
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,200
about what movie we're going to
put up there because this is a

826
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,000
heck of a start.
Art to our annual tradition of

827
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,600
celebrating Tom, Cruise miss.
All right, we do want to say to

828
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,100
all of you and filmin.
Whiskey Nation.

829
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:33,400
Merry Christmas.
Happy Holidays.

830
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,300
Happy New Year.
We'll see you again on Monday.

831
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:40,600
We won't be gone long but until
then I'm Bob book, I'm Reggie

832
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,100
and we'll see you next time.
