Hanksgiving, Vol. 3: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Bob and Brad revisit their annual holiday on the Film & Whiskey Podcast: HANKSGIVING. For the third year, they watch a Tom Hanks movie, and this year it's an especially warm-and-fuzzy one, 2019's A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. They discuss Hanks' turn as Fred Rogers, whether Matthew Rhys deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance, and how Mr. Rogers' ethic aligns with the Thanksgiving holiday.
Meanwhile, our hosts sip on two whiskeys from Two Souls Spirits, a new independent bottler form Gainesville, FL., a high-proof bourbon and a higher-proof rye.

1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:02,000
Hey, everybody.
Welcome into the film and
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,800
whiskey podcast.
I'm Bob book, I'm Reggie, and
3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,500
we're coming at you today with
another special bonus episode.
4
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:13,300
It's hanksgiving.
It's Thanksgiving, it's
5
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:16,700
hanksgiving.
It sure is.
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,000
And I love that you that you
used A Christmas, Carol fernet
7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,100
bad I guess there aren't any
Thanksgiving songs are there.
8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:24,800
Yeah.
Yeah.
9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,900
As I said there's like three
Halloween songs and yet somehow
10
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:31,200
people try to convince To
themselves that they can have
11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,700
like, a whole Halloween
playlist, there's no things
12
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,700
going songs.
Although some of the Christmas
13
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,300
songs I believe Jingle Bells, I
could be wrong there.
14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,200
That's like the deep in the
recesses of my mind is actually,
15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,000
was originally a Thanksgiving
song.
16
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:50,900
So, interesting side.
I know that some Christmas
17
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,100
carols.
Originally were like,
18
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,700
Thanksgiving songs, but but now
there's not really any in the
19
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,200
modern understanding of the
word.
20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,500
Well, in any case we are
celebrating Thanksgiving.
21
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:02,200
So, first of all, filmin,
whiskey Nation.
22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Happy Thanksgiving to you.
We're glad that you chose to
23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,800
join us today as we continue a
series that we started.
24
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:11,400
I think this is the third year.
Now, Brad, we're on
25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,700
Thanksgiving.
We watch a Tom Hanks movie and
26
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,800
we call it hanksgiving.
I'm freaking pumped.
27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,900
Hanksgiving was the best idea
we've ever had Brad easily.
28
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:24,500
We're going to keep doing this
until we get Tom on the podcast
29
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,900
for a Thanksgiving episode.
Oh my gosh.
30
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,500
Did you ever there's a whole
podcast about that if you seen
31
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,500
this Cast.
It's like oh it was a guy I
32
00:01:32,508 --> 00:01:35,100
can't remember what the podcast
was called but it was a guy that
33
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,500
was like Tom Hanks rejected me
or something and it was all
34
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:42,200
about like how he read for a
part or something and then
35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,900
didn't get the part and it like
screwed with his psyche for
36
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:47,500
forever and it was like a joke
and he started it with just him
37
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:51,100
and his friends and then it took
off and then eventually Tom
38
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,100
Hanks came on the on the podcast
and that was like the last
39
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:56,800
episode was like him.
Recounting this with Tom Hanks.
40
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,800
All right, we're going to hit
the rebranding room immediately.
41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,600
Following this episode Bob
that's like we're only gearing
42
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200
this podcast towards Tom Hanks
movies?
43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,200
No yeah I'll if we're gonna go
after a Tom that I think I hate
44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,300
to say it.
I really want to get Tom Cruise
45
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,100
podcast.
I never and I never knew the
46
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:19,100
extent of your love for Tom
Cruise until lately like you
47
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:22,500
have mentioned him on every
episode of this podcast for
48
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:25,600
probably the last four months.
You know.
49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,500
I think that my fandom for him
has grown over the years.
50
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,400
But as I've gotten older and
honestly, as we've done this
51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,700
podcast and watching more and
more films than more, I'm just
52
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:37,700
like damn it.
If I don't love me some, Tom
53
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:42,100
Cruise, we're not here to talk,
it's not Cruz giving, man, it's
54
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:46,900
hanksgiving.
Should we should we do bonus
55
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,000
episodes called Cruz miss
Christmas?
56
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Yes, that's alright.
We're coming at you next month
57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,100
on Christmas Eve cruise missile,
Eve.
58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,100
Tom Cruise - all right.
So Happy Thanksgiving,
59
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:04,200
everybody.
We're in part 3 of hanksgiving
60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200
and we decided to watch a very
recent movie in the Tom Hanks,
61
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:10,800
Louvre.
I asked Brad what he wanted to
62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,900
do.
I think we were kicking around
63
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,200
the idea of that thing you do
and Brad said, no, I want to
64
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,800
watch a beautiful day in the
neighborhood, which is his 2019.
65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Mr. Rogers biopic.
And I said, absolutely because,
66
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,500
you know, I watched it in the
theater and I loved it.
67
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,400
I watched it at least a couple
times at home with my wife and
68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,100
we both really like it.
It's Been probably a year year
69
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,900
and a half since I've watched it
last and Brad, I remember liking
70
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:39,000
this movie, but not totally
being on board with some of the
71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
more artistic flourishes of the
movie and thinking like, you
72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,900
know, it's probably like a 77
and a half out of ten.
73
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:48,100
It was a good movie but not as
good certainly, as that Mister
74
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:51,400
Rogers, documentary that came
out a couple years ago and I got
75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,700
us a man watching it back this
time, I'm growing to appreciate
76
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,300
this movie more and more, the
more frequently I watch it.
77
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:00,900
I think this is Really great
movie.
78
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:04,800
I think it was slept on, I think
a lot of people evaluated it
79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,400
probably the way I did the first
time around, but it really holds
80
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,000
up to repeat viewings.
And I'm a much bigger fan now
81
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,600
than I was three years ago when
it came out Bob.
82
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,300
I've drank just enough whiskey
and the whiskey were drinking
83
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:24,400
tonight is wildly high-proof so
I've had enough of this whiskey
84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,000
to become pedantic and say that
you've ra-ra refers to the works
85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
of AR.
Artist painter composer or
86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,700
author but not that of an actor.
So I think you need to take it
87
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,200
back.
Sure.
88
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,200
The Tom Hanks catalog the Tom
Hanks filmography.
89
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:49,100
Hey those are great words.
Bob the threat was a great.
90
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:51,600
I appreciate the diction.
Thank you very much.
91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,700
Thank you.
We urge.
92
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:55,900
All right.
So yeah yeah, talk about the
93
00:04:55,907 --> 00:04:59,500
movie man.
I remember watching this with
94
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:04,700
some Hands that like Haley.
And I are really close to, and
95
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:09,900
like, the scene when Tom just
makes him stop for.
96
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:11,700
I'm pretty sure an actual.
Yeah.
97
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:14,100
It's a full moon literal, 60
seconds.
98
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:19,900
Which I love when movies are,
like, we only have 30 seconds to
99
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:24,800
save the planet and then, like,
four minutes later in movie time
100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,000
that like they saved the planet.
But in this case, they actually
101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,600
take a literal Sixty seconds to
examine like, think about the
102
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,300
people who have made us who we
are who loved us into becoming
103
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:43,000
who we are and Tom Hanks just
looks directly into my soul.
104
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,300
Yeah, and I look around and
everybody's just kind of like
105
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:52,900
silently shoulders shaking
sobbing including myself and I'm
106
00:05:52,900 --> 00:06:00,200
just like oh this might be like
a top, ten like single Movie
107
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,900
scene for me that I've ever
seen.
108
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,800
I, one of the things I love
about this movie and Brad.
109
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,800
If you don't mind, I think we
should just really just jump
110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,100
right into talking about the
movie and what we loved about it
111
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:13,600
because these episodes are not
usually as long as the full film
112
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,500
in whiskey episodes.
What whiskey are we going to
113
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:19,400
drink today, Bob?
Okay, yeah, you teased it but we
114
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,900
haven't talked about it.
All right, so these are from Two
115
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:27,000
Souls Spirits, which is a new I
guess what they call themselves.
116
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Is a bottler.
Of craft whiskey so they select
117
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,900
barrels.
They bottle it under their label
118
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,100
and then they release it.
There's a few Brands doing this
119
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,400
right now.
Two Souls is a new one based out
120
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,100
of Gainesville Florida and their
first two products are a
121
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:45,400
four-year bourbon that comes
from Watershed distillery in.
122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,100
Oh yeah, let's go and an
eight-year ride from Yahara Bay
123
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,600
distillers, in Wisconsin and
Brad.
124
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:54,900
This is going to be jogging your
memory here.
125
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:59,800
But last season, we tried
whiskies from a producer called
126
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:02,600
Good water.
And all of those came from
127
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Yahara Bay, I believe.
So we had uehara Bay whiskey
128
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,000
before but this one's an
eight-year rye.
129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,500
As you said these are very high
proof whiskies.
130
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:14,700
They're both Barrel proof.
The bourbon comes in at 120 3.0
131
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,000
for proof and the Rye comes in
at 140 7.18 Proof.
132
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,900
So this might be Brad.
I think our first they call this
133
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:28,900
Hazmat when something is over
70%, I think this might actually
134
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:31,500
be our first has Matt Whiskey on
the podcast.
135
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,600
And if it's not the first, it's
maybe the second.
136
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,800
Yeah, I was going to say, I've
only I think it has to be our
137
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,300
first because I've only ever had
one, Hazmat designated whiskey
138
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,900
before, and it actually was a
watershed whiskey.
139
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:46,300
Oh, wow.
Okay, so yeah.
140
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,500
So this is, I'm pretty sure our
first one on the podcast and
141
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,300
having drink it already.
I will say it's a good whiskey.
142
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:57,500
It is very has.
Matt Gregory has Matic.
143
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,700
So let's get back into talking
about the movie though.
144
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:02,300
Wanted to say that.
One of the things I love about
145
00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:06,100
this movie is the way that the
script brings in elements from
146
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:09,800
Fred Rogers life that didn't
necessarily happen, you know, at
147
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,300
this exact moment in Fred Rogers
life but things they needed to
148
00:08:13,308 --> 00:08:15,900
touch on and they weave them in
really beautifully.
149
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,400
It's a really well-done biopic
and to be fair, it's not really
150
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,700
a biopic of Fred Rogers, but,
you know, he is a character in
151
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:27,600
it and it is a pretty accurate
depiction of what he was like.
152
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:31,700
And so bringing in that famous
Moment where I think he was
153
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:35,400
accepting a Lifetime Achievement
Award at the Emmys and he did
154
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,900
this from the stage.
He stopped the whole, you know,
155
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:41,000
Emmy telecast to make everybody
in the audience sit there and
156
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,400
think about the people that
helped to get them to that
157
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,300
moment.
And it is a really famous clip.
158
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:48,300
I'm sure a lot of you have seen
it on YouTube and I think the
159
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:51,700
choice to include that in the
movie is, it's a really bold
160
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,600
choice and it's a really great
touch and they do a few of those
161
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,100
throughout the movie, you know,
at one point somebody asked mr.
162
00:08:58,100 --> 00:08:59,700
Rogers weren't you like a
sniper?
163
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:03,100
In the war and he debunks that
theory and you know, it's little
164
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,400
things like that that we've all
heard about mr.
165
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,300
Rogers.
But those of us who maybe
166
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,900
haven't seen the documentary or
haven't read more about his
167
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,400
life.
They do a good job of weaving.
168
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,100
Those in to answer those
questions.
169
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,100
I think the question I need
answered most is one that my
170
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:21,200
wife pointed out.
Do you think that mr.
171
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Rogers wore a speedo to swimmin.
Hmm, I'm a little concerned.
172
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,600
That that was the question on
your wife's.
173
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,500
Mind that.
That was the one question she
174
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:34,300
and I both got out of this
movie.
175
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:36,800
Yeah.
Where I was like, you know, old
176
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,300
people do weird things, so, it
wouldn't surprise me.
177
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,300
But that, yep, that was it, man.
That was the one question we had
178
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,400
coming out of this film.
I'm not going to answer that
179
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,300
because I don't want to think
about mr.
180
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:55,700
Rogers wearing a speedo but you
will think about Tommy.
181
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,500
Yeah I will.
I will see that in all its
182
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:04,100
Glory.
Oh, man, I guess if we could
183
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:08,700
start with just a few of the
things that I struggle with
184
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Matthew Rhys, I believe you
would pronounce his last name.
185
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,600
Is he like a C+, Edward Norton.
So I mean I guess we can just
186
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,400
get into this right away.
The first time I saw this movie,
187
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,500
I was like he's really solid and
he's a very good actor.
188
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:30,400
He was on a show on FX for a
number of years called The
189
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,500
Americans, which is a really
highly regarded show won a ton
190
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,100
of awards.
He was the lead actor on that
191
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:40,600
and again, like the supporting
role is mr.
192
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Rogers.
And he's the charismatic one and
193
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,100
it's Tom Hanks, so you've got
the mega wattage star in this
194
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:49,300
movie and Matthew, Rhys has
there to be sad and Then to not
195
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:52,400
be so sad.
And I watched it this time Brad.
196
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,500
And I have to say, man, like,
Matthew Rhys has the best actor
197
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,700
in this movie, and I don't know.
He's, he's a better actor
198
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:03,500
overall than Tom Hanks.
His performance is outstanding,
199
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,100
dude.
And and again, maybe it's
200
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,200
because I've seen it three
times.
201
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,700
Now, he plays every moment of
this movie Perfectly.
202
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,800
I'm like, I could not believe
how good his performance was in
203
00:11:14,808 --> 00:11:16,500
this movie bread.
Alright?
204
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,900
So maybe the reason I don't
Enjoy him as much as because of
205
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:25,900
my second nitpick.
I just feel like he and Susan.
206
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:32,500
Watson have literally the
smallest amount of chemistry if
207
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:37,100
it exists at all of any romantic
pairing that I've seen in a
208
00:11:37,108 --> 00:11:40,800
movie.
And I just, I just feel like
209
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,900
they have zero on screen
presents together where I can,
210
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:48,300
like hardly believe that they
would ever be.
211
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,000
Married in the first place,
that's so funny.
212
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,900
Yeah.
I think again, maybe this is
213
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:54,400
where we're going to come down
on different sides of this
214
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,000
movie.
I think the movie does a really
215
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,300
good job of placing you in the
middle of a marital conflict or
216
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:06,200
a life conflict, like they have
just had a baby so they're super
217
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,300
tired.
That's, you know, Brad you and I
218
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:11,700
both know this like new baby
time is not the most romantic
219
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,900
time in anyone's marriage.
Like you're doing what you can
220
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,900
to find some equilibrium and I
think they play that really
221
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,000
well.
I think he does a really great
222
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
job of playing a guy who has
repressed emotions really,
223
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
really well.
And and this this anger that
224
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,300
bubbles to the surface, anytime
he's challenged on that and man,
225
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:35,900
he calls himself a broken person
in the middle of the movie.
226
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:37,900
And that's I mean that's in that
same scene that you were just
227
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:40,300
referring to where they're in
the Chinese restaurant.
228
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,700
And Mister Rogers, tells him
that I don't think you're broke.
229
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,000
And I think that you have a
really good gauge on what's
230
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,500
right and wrong, and, Man, I
don't know.
231
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:53,200
I think he does such a fantastic
job of playing a guy who is in
232
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,300
the most vulnerable spot.
He's ever been in his life and
233
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:59,900
doesn't know how to Grapple with
that and his performance.
234
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:05,000
Just wowed me man that that is.
I don't know man, that's
235
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,200
fascinating me.
I just walked away from this
236
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200
movie.
The first time I saw it and this
237
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,100
time thinking to myself.
Wow that series was just okay.
238
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,200
I think they could have done
better that Those are my little
239
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,300
thoughts, it's not that he was
terrible.
240
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:26,000
Like, I think he does a really
nice job of portraying the
241
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,800
frustration that he has, but I
just feel like he has this dead
242
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,900
look in his eyes throughout the
entire film.
243
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:36,900
Even when he's like, starting to
get healthier that I'm like, oh,
244
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:40,100
he just can't really Express
emotion.
245
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:44,100
Well, as an actor, that more
than just letting his his
246
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,500
character, but, you know, being
being hurt.
247
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:50,000
Wow, well, Brad while I am I'm
thankful for you on this
248
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Thanksgiving.
I think I completely disagree,
249
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,300
because even in that Chinese
restaurant scene, it's the first
250
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,800
time in the whole movie, you see
him smile, and you see, you see
251
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,300
the top row of his teeth and I
was like, oh, he, this man has
252
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:05,900
teeth and it's such a genuine
moment of emotion, finally
253
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:10,200
cracking through and and like
the sense of relief and a weight
254
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,100
being lifted off of his
shoulders, you know, Brad I
255
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,700
obviously I'm a sucker for
movies like this, where we're
256
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,300
broken people find some sort of
therapy.
257
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,100
And they would be for what Bob,
you know what?
258
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,600
In further issues with their
dad, in true.
259
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,500
You know, man, fashion men will
literally write a 10,000 word
260
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:34,600
article in Esquire magazine
about mr.
261
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Rogers, instead of going to
therapy.
262
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,300
Yeah.
And and that's what this man
263
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:41,000
does to get over.
You know, his daddy issues and
264
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,900
the movie obviously works for me
on that front.
265
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,800
But also I just think that it's
really smart to not Make a
266
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,800
straight mr.
Rogers biopic.
267
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:52,900
I actually don't think that
would be a good movie, mr.
268
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:55,900
Rogers, it's weird to say this
mr.
269
00:14:55,900 --> 00:15:00,800
Rogers is a man with too few
demons to make a compelling film
270
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400
like with him as the main
character.
271
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800
Do you know what I mean?
No, 100% And I think that having
272
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,600
mr.
Rogers enter, someone's life and
273
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,900
fix it for the better is the way
to go.
274
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:14,900
And I think this movie really
does a great job with that,
275
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:16,000
Brad.
What do you say?
276
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,900
We try this first whiskey and
then we'll come back and About
277
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:22,100
Hanks himself and then we'll go
from there.
278
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:23,900
What do you say?
Yeah, I love it, man.
279
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,400
Let's do it.
Let's try this Watershed Ohio
280
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,400
straight bourbon whiskey.
Like I said, aged 44 years, it
281
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,100
is 123 proof.
I'm just now pouring it out into
282
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,000
the glass.
So Brad, why don't you give us
283
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,600
your notes on this?
Yeah, as I got into the nose on
284
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,300
this guy, I felt like it was a
lot of brown sugar vanilla and
285
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,900
then I don't know, man,
Watershed is one of the most
286
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,900
unique.
Whiskey's in that.
287
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:55,900
I think that I could pick a
watershed nose out of almost any
288
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:59,900
lineup you would give me.
And I'm not always sure what it
289
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:02,700
is.
It has its own Funk.
290
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,400
If you will its own, will it
funk?
291
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:09,600
Hmm, I think I'm gonna say it's
like Cream of Wheat.
292
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:13,200
Yeah, for me, I think I'd said
this last time we tried will it
293
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,300
like, an actual Willett product?
It's not actually that funky, I
294
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:18,900
just remember it as being
Monkey.
295
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:21,700
It's a dustiness that goes with
like rose petal.
296
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,800
It's floral and dust at the same
time and like how is think
297
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,500
about?
Did you ever read that book?
298
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,100
Great Expectations.
When you were in high school or
299
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:33,300
anything, we had to do that.
There's a, the Jane Austen book.
300
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:36,000
It's Charles Dickens.
There's a character in that book
301
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,300
called Miss havisham.
Who's this old lady who got
302
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:41,400
abandoned on her wedding day, or
whatever and she, like lives, in
303
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,300
this old mansion covered in
cobwebs and she wears her old
304
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:47,100
wedding dress around and she
liked the inspiration for
305
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,900
Eleanor Rigby proud.
Bubbly.
306
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,100
And I just want to think about
Dusty floral arrangements.
307
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:54,400
I'm like, oh, this is like,
probably what Miss Miss
308
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,600
havisham's wedding, bouquet
smells like.
309
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,100
So there's a guy what's really
dark brown?
310
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,500
No, I'm just, like, I can't my
mind is thinking like, what
311
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:05,800
would make a floral bouquet
Dusty and it's like, well, I
312
00:17:05,808 --> 00:17:07,700
guess Miss havisham would make
it Dusty.
313
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,900
So for her sad, so with
Watershed, I think you're right
314
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:16,800
there.
Their usual stuff like there.
315
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,099
I don't know what you were.
They're standard product line
316
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:22,900
that you buy Off.
The Shelf, has a certain nose to
317
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:25,200
it but then I feel like they're
Barrel picks.
318
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,599
Have a completely different nose
to them and obviously we've done
319
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,800
a barrel pick with them.
So we've sampled straight from
320
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,900
the barrel.
This reminds me a lot on the
321
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:34,800
nose of the barrel that we
picked Brad and it has that sort
322
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,300
of Dusty floral quality to it.
I really like it.
323
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:39,700
And I'm going to give it a sip
now.
324
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:43,000
So I'm preparing myself for the
120 plus proof here.
325
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:48,400
Yeah, yeah, on the taste for me
it got a lot more.
326
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,300
More decadent on the, on the
palate.
327
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,000
It reminded me of like warmed
up.
328
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,000
Caramel, topping.
Hmm.
329
00:17:57,300 --> 00:17:59,100
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like that?
330
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:02,100
You would put on a Sunday with
peanuts.
331
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:06,900
Yeah, like it's warm caramel
topping, it's incredibly viscous
332
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,300
and then there's some brown
sugar and a little bit of cherry
333
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:13,000
on it.
That I am really intrigued by
334
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:18,100
this thing like was like warming
up on the runway of the nose and
335
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:21,500
then Blasted off with with the
actual palette.
336
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,000
It's not super complex.
I'll say that about it.
337
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,800
It's funny that you mentioned
something being warmed up,
338
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,100
because there is like a
difference in flavor when
339
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:30,900
something is warm versus when
it's chilled.
340
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And this actually reminded me of
back in like the 50s and 60s,
341
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,400
they try to encourage people to
drink dr.
342
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,100
Pepper hot, like to put dr.
Pepper in a saucepan and warm it
343
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:44,100
up and then drink it hot and
I've never tried that but this
344
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,300
this reminds me of like if you
did that with Coca-Cola it.
345
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,700
Doesn't have that sort of like
pop or fizziness to it, but it
346
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:56,200
reminds me of like, if you were
to take Coke and kind of make it
347
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,700
flat by heating it up and then
taking a sip of it, super
348
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:01,700
simple.
So, you know, a little bit of
349
00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:03,900
caramel a little bit of that
Cola flavor.
350
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,700
Underlying it, I like it a lot.
It doesn't drink like 120 proof,
351
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:11,500
it drinks spicy but it's not
super harsh.
352
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:14,500
The thing about all Watershed
products and and I guess I
353
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:17,400
should say this is a two Souls
product.
354
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,600
We're just we live right next to
Watershed.
355
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,000
We're very familiar with their
products.
356
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,700
So that's why referring it to to
it so much.
357
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:30,700
The thing about Watershed
products is that anything they
358
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:37,300
have over 120 proof drinks.
Like it's like, 108, like even
359
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:42,300
their Hazmat one, and I think it
was like, 142 proof whiskey that
360
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:47,900
I drank drank, like it was some
other companies 120 proof.
361
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:51,400
If you like it was definitely on
the higher end of the spectrum.
362
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,400
But not to the point where I was
like, wow, this is 15 points
363
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,300
higher than anything I've ever
drank before.
364
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,200
So I am always very impressed
with watersheds high-proof
365
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,200
outputs and I think this is a
really good place to start.
366
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,800
If you are two Souls because
it's a barrel pick from a
367
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,400
regional, you know, distribution
distillers.
368
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,500
So it's going to places that you
can't usually get Watershed
369
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:20,600
right now and and like I said
it's not super complex but it's
370
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,000
definitely a crowd pleaser.
I have no issues with this
371
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800
whiskey at all.
It drank really easily for 120.
372
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,400
Something proof.
I think this would be a really
373
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,000
good starting point for people
who are looking to get into the
374
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
world of barrel proof, Single
Barrel whiskeys.
375
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:37,800
I'm a big fan of this.
Yeah, honestly, I think I'd
376
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,000
probably end it like, a 37 38
out of 50.
377
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,600
Yeah, which is darn good.
Yeah, which is a really solid
378
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,800
whiskey that I would recommend.
All right, Brad, let's talk
379
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,200
about Tom Hanks on this
hanksgiving.
380
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:54,500
I struggle with this
performance.
381
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:58,900
It's a really good performance
and I feel like I have to
382
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:01,900
qualify that statement a little
bit because there are moments in
383
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:07,400
the movie where Tom Hanks is
doing a very good job at
384
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,300
impersonating.
Mr. Rogers.
385
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,200
There's moments in the movie,
which are the the down parts of
386
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,200
this performance, where Tom
Hanks is doing a very bad job at
387
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,800
impersonating, mr.
Rogers and then There's this
388
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,600
third type of moment where Tom
Hanks isn't so much even trying
389
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,200
to be mr.
Rogers anymore, as he is
390
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:30,700
leveraging, his Tom Hanks.
Enos does that make sense?
391
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:33,700
Like I feel like there are
moments where he stops trying to
392
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,500
impersonate Fred Rogers and he
just fully leans into the fact
393
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:42,300
that he's like I know that, you
know, that I'm Tom Hanks and I'm
394
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:45,900
going to give you like the most
Earnest Tom Hanks version of
395
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:48,800
this.
Yeah and it's almost like I
396
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:51,700
don't know how to explain it.
It's like a meta thing where
397
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:55,100
he's, he's not being mr.
Rogers anymore, he's being Tom
398
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:58,100
Hanks being mr.
Rogers, and it still works real.
399
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:01,100
It kind of reminds me of what I
was talking about with the the
400
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:05,400
Jack Nicholson performance in A
Few Good Men, where I don't buy
401
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,800
him as a member of the military.
But I buy him as Jack Nicholson
402
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,400
and he's leading into like I'm
gonna be the hard ass because
403
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,000
that's what Jack Nicholson does
and he does it really well.
404
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:21,300
Yeah, I think for me, one of the
this might sound dumb, but one
405
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:26,600
of the scenes that really stood
out to me is when Hanks was
406
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,400
underneath the castle playing,
you know, Daniel Tiger and doing
407
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,800
the puppeteering and he's like,
not even just not looking at the
408
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,900
camera but like completely
focused on something else.
409
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:42,400
And, you know, doing Daniel
Tiger's voice and all that.
410
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,100
There was something about that
moment that I was Like.
411
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:51,800
Oh, this is an incredible
performance where I just love
412
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,900
the sincerity with which he
plays the character and even in
413
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:00,900
a moment where it's not
glamorous, he's you know,
414
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:05,800
hunched over your hunche to
underneath this set piece
415
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:11,500
playing a tiger, you know,
puppeteering a tiger and and and
416
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,800
yet his voice comes across with
such sincerity.
417
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,700
I don't know if it's like the
voice.
418
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,500
Acting effect that he has of,
you know, having played Woody,
419
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:23,300
all these years and he just
knows how to work his voice.
420
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:25,600
Even when the camera is not
focused on him.
421
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,900
There is something about that
scene.
422
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,500
That just really stuck with me
and was like, oh man, I just I
423
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,000
really love what Tom is doing
with this character.
424
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:39,100
I think there are moments where
he is, he's really got the
425
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:42,000
Cadence of mr.
Roger's voice down, he never
426
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
quite gets the accent down.
And I think the worst moments of
427
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,900
this movie, Tom Hanks was
actually doing a Southern accent
428
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:51,200
for some reason, and I'm like
mr.
429
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,800
Rogers didn't talk like that,
but he does a very good job of
430
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,700
nailing, the Cadence with which
mr.
431
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:59,200
Rogers spoke.
And it was, especially apparent
432
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,500
to me in that very opening scene
of the movie.
433
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:05,100
So we'll talk a little bit about
how the movie structured, but
434
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,900
it's almost kind of book Ended
as if it is an episode of mr.
435
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:11,900
Rogers Neighborhood.
And so Tom Hanks comes in to the
436
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:15,100
set singing the song and talking
about, you know, let's meet one
437
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:17,300
of my friends in the
neighborhood That's how he
438
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:21,000
frames the story here, but you
can almost tell that the
439
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,500
director me real Heller.
Kind of let Tom Hanks, I mean I
440
00:24:27,508 --> 00:24:29,300
don't know if she'd let him
improvise there or not, but it
441
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:31,500
feels improvised.
It feels like he's coming up
442
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,100
with some of these things on the
spot which is very much, what
443
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:37,800
Fred Rogers did like they had a
script obviously, but, you know,
444
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,800
little things would happen on
set and he would just kind of
445
00:24:39,808 --> 00:24:41,300
talk about them as they
happened.
446
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:44,100
And if he didn't tie his shoe,
the right way, he would take an
447
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:46,600
extra beat during the song to
tie his shoe, correct way.
448
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:48,200
Way.
And if the zipper on his sweater
449
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,900
wasn't working it, you know like
it was always fluid with mr.
450
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:55,700
Rogers.
And he wanted it that way.
451
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,000
He wanted it to not be a perfect
production.
452
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,400
And I think that that especially
that very first scene, I was
453
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,100
like, oh this director and this
actor, get what mr.
454
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:07,900
Rogers was about.
Yes, and I love that it didn't
455
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:14,100
feel like a perfect polished
take of that scene and that made
456
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,100
it a perfect scene for me.
Yeah.
457
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,000
And if it Been a perfect polish
take that I think Tom Hanks
458
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,400
would have lost about 30 pounds
for the role.
459
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:24,700
Yeah, which would have been
really hard because I'm sure Tom
460
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:27,700
Hanks was, I'm sure Tom Hanks is
taller than mr.
461
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:31,600
Rogers was, but mr.
Rogers very famously kept his
462
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,400
weight at exactly 143 pounds for
his whole life because, you
463
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,800
know, the numbers 143 correspond
to the numbers of letters in the
464
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,900
phrase.
I love you.
465
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:47,300
And so, he always kept his
weight at 143 and You know, Tom
466
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:49,100
Hanks is never going to be 143
pounds.
467
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:52,200
Even at his most fit, when he
was in Castaway.
468
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,000
I think he said he got down to,
like, 170 something.
469
00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:00,300
So like, you know, I don't blame
him for not being a Grimm as mr.
470
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:04,300
And he certainly likes still not
pudgy like he's in pretty decent
471
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:08,400
shape for a man in his mid 60s
but but you're right like there
472
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,100
are some physical differences
between him and mr.
473
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:14,500
Rogers.
And I will say, as the movie
474
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:18,000
ends and the credits are rolling
and they Start playing an actual
475
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,700
clip of Fred singing.
Hayley and I just looked at each
476
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,400
other and we were like, Tom
Hanks is great.
477
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:29,400
But nobody can do mr.
Rice.
478
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:37,800
Like, he is a unique talent for
being a terrible, good singer
479
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,800
that.
I just don't understand how he
480
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:47,300
did it but the way he lived his
life led to the point where
481
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:51,500
everything he said, just made
you feel loved even if it's him
482
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:58,700
singing in a mostly on Ki voice.
I just can't explain it.
483
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:02,600
Bob how, how perfect he was at
being himself.
484
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Well, and I think that that is
ultimately the downfall of Hanks
485
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,400
trying to do this, right?
And this is nothing.
486
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,400
I want to say this like, by all
accounts, Tom Hanks is the
487
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,200
nicest guy in Hollywood.
That's like his brand and he
488
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,600
seems like a really decent
person in real life.
489
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,100
But they go to Great pains in
this movie to talk about how
490
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,000
people refer to Fred Rogers, as
an actual st.
491
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,000
And His wife in the film Joanne
talks about how it's a practice
492
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,100
that he does.
Like it's like a spiritual
493
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:34,100
practice, he's like a monk that
goes through these rituals to
494
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:36,900
keep himself from from letting
his anger over take him or
495
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,700
whatever.
And when you watch Fred Rogers,
496
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,800
do an interview like a, you
know, a YouTube clip of an
497
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,900
interview or when you actually
watch mr.
498
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:48,400
Rogers Neighborhood.
No matter how good of an actor
499
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,400
you are, there is like something
behind the eyes of mr.
500
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,200
Rogers.
Then that just emanates Truth.
501
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Yes, sincerity sincerity.
And like yeah, reflecting a life
502
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,300
that is authentically that and
as good of an actor is Tom Hanks
503
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:10,200
is he like you and I Brad are
not practicing this stuff to the
504
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,500
extent That Mister Rogers did
and it it shows through like
505
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,500
he's doing a really good
impression but even at even at
506
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:22,300
his most authentically, Tom
Hanks e he's still not hitting
507
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,700
Fred Rogers levels if that makes
sense.
508
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,700
Us.
And I think that should go to
509
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:32,100
show how special Fred Rogers is.
Yeah, because I'm with you 100%.
510
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:37,000
Tom Hanks is one of the greatest
living actors we have and not
511
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,900
only that, he is one of the
greatest human beings.
512
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,900
That is also an actor that we
currently have.
513
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:48,000
Like, he's an incredible man but
even he couldn't quite capture
514
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,300
it and it.
But I will say, I think that's
515
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:54,700
why the final scene of this
movie is really meaningful that
516
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:59,100
You know, you have him finish
the episode of Mister Rogers
517
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:02,100
Neighborhood and he kind of goes
off and he's saying goodbye to
518
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,600
everybody and he sits down he's
playing at the piano and he does
519
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,400
his, you know, what he said
earlier in the movie, he bangs
520
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,500
the, some of the bottom Keys,
real hard, because he's angry,
521
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:16,600
and there's something about that
final scene, that, that it's not
522
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:22,000
Tom acting anymore.
It's just a human being
523
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,300
internalizing.
Some of His frustration and
524
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:29,800
engaging.
In a, in a spiritual discipline
525
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:33,900
of this is how I will express my
anger, I'm gonna pound the
526
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:40,700
bottom keys of a keyboard.
And I think that that seen among
527
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:43,600
a few others felt the most
authentic to me.
528
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,200
And really was, like, why I love
this movie.
529
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,200
All right, Brad what?
We'll come back from our second
530
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,700
whiskey.
And I want to talk a little bit
531
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:53,800
about the direction of the
movie.
532
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,900
The Script do that.
The nitty-gritty stuff we get
533
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:59,300
into before we give final
scores, but let's try this
534
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,100
Hazmat Rye.
What do you say?
535
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:07,500
Let's get to it.
Alright, so we are checking out,
536
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:13,100
this Yahara Bay 147 proof rye
and I have to say Brad on the
537
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,900
nose, it certainly doesn't smell
147 proof.
538
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:20,000
I expected this, you know, to
have the Sex Panther by Odeon
539
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,500
effect on my nostrils and
stealing the nostrils, but it's
540
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:27,200
not doing that.
And it reminds me a lot on the
541
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,000
nose of the barrel of MGP Rye,
that we picked from Western
542
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,100
Reserve.
Yeah.
543
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:36,700
So this is very weird because
The Watershed smelled like the
544
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:39,600
Watershed we picked, this smells
like the Rye we picked.
545
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,200
I have a feeling that the guys
at two Souls have very similar
546
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,700
pallets to you and me, I don't
know about similar but
547
00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:50,000
incredible.
Yes like spectacular palette.
548
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,200
I don't know if there's a good
as ours but they're pretty, darn
549
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,300
good.
Yeah, Bob I will say if you are
550
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:01,800
ever drinking Hazmat quality
whiskey I would encourage you to
551
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,600
drink 123 proof whiskey right
before.
552
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:07,100
Or it.
Hmm because I think if you tried
553
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,900
this without having drink, the
water shed product first, I
554
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:14,400
think it would come across a
little stronger but, you know,
555
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,100
we're warmed up.
We're ready to go.
556
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,800
Whoo.
Yeah Dad.
557
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,900
I just drank it.
Okay.
558
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:24,700
So whole I'm gonna try to walk
you through this real quick
559
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:29,200
filming.
Whiskey Nation really sweet on
560
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,300
the first pass.
It goes down and it starts to
561
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:33,900
get spicy on the back of your
palate and you're like okay and
562
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:35,400
then it heats up.
A little bit more.
563
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,800
And you're like, oh yeah, this
is definitely Barrel proof, and
564
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,300
then it shot all the way back up
my tongue.
565
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,700
Like a, like the fuse at the
beginning of a mission
566
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:48,300
impossible movie and it hit it.
Landed on the tip of my tongue
567
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:52,100
and then was just like, hey
would you like to be on an
568
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:56,900
episode of hot ones?
Like it just like it is real
569
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:59,900
spicy and there.
But the cool thing is like it
570
00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:04,400
pairs with the Rye spice.
So it in it has the pepperiness
571
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,000
of a awry.
But then also like straight
572
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,100
alcohol burn like this is
definitely 147 proof but it
573
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:16,000
manifested that alcohol
differently than I would have
574
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,300
thought.
Yeah for me the nose gave off
575
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:26,900
not just Rai but like a freshly
baked loaf of rye bread like
576
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:30,500
really really fresh rye bread
with a little bit of like
577
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:36,400
cardamom and and if few other
baking spices, Isis and it
578
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,800
didn't lead me to believe that I
would get what I got on the
579
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,900
palate bro.
It is brown sugar.
580
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:46,300
Sweet vanilla and I almost got
like a butterscotch pie.
581
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,700
So interesting like Justin is
that a thing is there
582
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:51,900
butterscotch pie?
Bob.
583
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,300
All right.
Forget the rest of this episode.
584
00:32:56,700 --> 00:33:00,100
The next time I see you, I'm
going to bring you Haley's,
585
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:02,300
butterscotch, pie.
Is this something that you eat
586
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,300
at Thanksgiving?
It's freaking killer, honestly,
587
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:08,400
it would be a good Thanksgiving
dessert.
588
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:11,100
I don't know if it's like a
traditional Thanksgiving
589
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,700
dessert.
All I'm saying is it's freaking
590
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,500
delicious.
Yeah, yeah.
591
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:18,300
This is good, man.
This is incredible.
592
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,300
I like the, the Finish has a
little bit of, oh, can dry it
593
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:24,000
with Mixed with that
butterscotch.
594
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,600
That just lingers for a really
long time.
595
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,800
Yeah, I think that's one of the
things I love about Barrel.
596
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Proof whiskies is how long they
sit on your, on your palate.
597
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,000
And your flavor wheel for like,
30 minutes afterwards, like I
598
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,000
the last, I drink this.
This whiskey was like 30 minutes
599
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,400
ago and I can still like taste a
little bit of it on my palette
600
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,500
and I just man, I'm a really big
fan honestly dude.
601
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:52,700
I think I would probably give
this one close to like a 40 to
602
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,100
Two out of 50.
Yeah, this is really good.
603
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,100
Both of these are fantastic
picks.
604
00:33:57,100 --> 00:34:00,500
And like if this is the kind of
level that two Souls is going to
605
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:02,300
be operating on.
I think they're going to really
606
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:04,500
make a name for themselves
quickly because like yeah,
607
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:06,800
easily really really good pics
here.
608
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:09,900
All right, Brad.
So we will say thank you now to
609
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:12,500
two souls for both of these
samples because they're
610
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:15,699
fantastic.
Let's talk Marielle Heller and
611
00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:19,600
the direction of this movie.
So Heller had just come off of a
612
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,600
movie, that was nominated for a
few, Oscars called.
613
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,800
Will you ever forgive me?
Which got an Oscar nomination
614
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,400
for Melissa McCarthy in the lead
role.
615
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,699
That was a really good movie and
she does like she likes to
616
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:33,000
operate in.
I don't know how to explain this
617
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,100
like the way that this movie has
almost like a Grime Enos to it
618
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:42,900
or a dinginess to it in the New
York scenes like that's kind of
619
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:45,300
what will you ever forgive me?
Looks like the whole movie.
620
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:48,000
She likes to kind of get down
and dirty with her characters
621
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,600
and reflects that in the
visuals.
622
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:54,300
I really loved the way that she
uses The techniques of
623
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:57,500
filmmaking to get a lot of her
points across in this movie,
624
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:59,700
especially with the look of the
film.
625
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:02,500
And I really stuck out to me.
There's the scene where he's
626
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:06,700
first on set watching the mr.
Rogers thing happening and it's
627
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:08,200
what you're talking about.
So scene where he's filming
628
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,700
Daniel Tiger and Lloyd is
watching.
629
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,100
You know, from behind the scenes
as Fred Rogers performs and they
630
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:18,300
had this like brilliant shot,
looking at him watching Tom
631
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:22,700
Hanks and in the background
everything is really warmly lit.
632
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,400
It like the whole studio has
this like homey, yellow E Light
633
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,800
to it, it just looks very
comfortable but where Lloyd is
634
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,300
standing is off to the side of
that.
635
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:36,800
And he's standing in this like
almost sickly green, fluorescent
636
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,400
light.
And for the first third of the
637
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,200
movie first half of the movie,
almost, she does all these
638
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,500
incredible visual things that
just emphasize the point that,
639
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:49,000
like he is not a part of the
neighborhood quote-unquote.
640
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,500
Like he has not embraced what
mr.
641
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:54,300
Rogers is about.
He doesn't consider himself
642
00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:58,000
worthy of that because of all
this baggage, he's like actively
643
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,700
looking for ways to undermine it
or expose it.
644
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:03,500
And there's another great shot
right before that where they
645
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:06,600
where he's looking at the model
of the neighborhood that they
646
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,600
show at the beginning of the
each episode and he's looking
647
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,700
down on it like a judgmental.
God, like his face is just in
648
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:17,400
the background of it.
And again, it's this way of of
649
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,500
conveying, he is not a part of
this.
650
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,600
He's judging it.
He's looking for a way to ruin
651
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,500
it.
It if he can't because that's
652
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:27,000
what he's coming here to do is
find some sort of flaw or crack.
653
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,300
And I just really loved the way
that they conveyed that visually
654
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:33,800
in this movie.
And I think that is the greatest
655
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:39,700
strength of this movie is that
movies are always a product of
656
00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:43,800
their time and you can you know,
you can watch almost any film
657
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,700
and use it as a commentary on
the culture and you know, the
658
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:52,800
decade that it came out of and I
think that this movie coming out
659
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,700
Out in was it was a two dozen 18
or 19.
660
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:58,200
I think it was 19.
Yeah, so that, you know, this
661
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,300
movie comes out in 2019 and I
think that in a world of
662
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,400
massive, political upheaval and
questioning about what it means
663
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,800
to be a human being and a world
where there was a lot of
664
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,400
disbelief in traditional moral
figures, right?
665
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,700
Like Bob you and I, you know,
are a part of the Christian
666
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:22,700
culture, there's been a lot of
really crappy.
667
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:26,000
Be pastors out there who have
fallen from Grace if you will.
668
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,100
So like in a world of 2019 where
we're questioning all these
669
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,900
things.
Any of us would approach a mr.
670
00:37:34,900 --> 00:37:37,600
Rogers type figure and be like.
Yeah.
671
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,800
There there's something dirty
here, there's something behind
672
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:47,500
the facade and this movie is is
making the claim like mr.
673
00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:52,000
Rogers life made the claim?
No, there there are some pure
674
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,800
people out.
There that have their flaws, and
675
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,800
they will admit to them, but
they engage in such a lifestyle
676
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:04,800
that they are pure.
Even at, you know, even amongst
677
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,800
the fact that they're still
Sinners, if you will, they're
678
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,200
pure.
And there's so pure that they
679
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,900
can turn the mind of the deepest
cynic.
680
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:18,800
And I think that's where this
movie really, really succeeds.
681
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:22,400
Because even, I, somebody who
believes in mr.
682
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,200
Rogers, Rogers lifestyle as a
way of life for anyone to to
683
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,400
live into, even I would watch
some of mr.
684
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Rogers stuff and be like, is he
really that good?
685
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:38,500
No, I totally get it man.
And I think that again if
686
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:41,200
there's a fundamental flaw with
this movie and it was the thing
687
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,500
I struggled with the first time
around, its kind of the Flights
688
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:47,600
of Fancy that the movie takes
and having like the model
689
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,000
buildings and the model
airplanes and reflecting some of
690
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,400
the the more fanciful.
Of the Mister Rogers,
691
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,400
Neighborhood TV show.
And there's this extended dream
692
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,000
sequence in the middle of the
movie.
693
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,300
And if that was always the part
of the movie that I struggle
694
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,800
with the most, I just, I don't,
I never liked dream, sequences
695
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,700
and movies anyway.
But this one was, especially
696
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:12,200
jarring because it really pulled
me out of the movie.
697
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,600
And I think that this time
around, you know, I knew it was
698
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,400
coming.
But something had to be the
699
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:22,800
point where Lloyd's character
broke because he flies back back
700
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,600
to Pittsburgh at a really
crucial moment where his
701
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,700
estranged father has collapsed
and is in the hospital dying and
702
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:33,100
he kind of like walks out on
everybody and leaves.
703
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,300
He gets to Pittsburgh and
collapses and has this like
704
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,500
crazy fever dream.
And when he wakes up from that
705
00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:43,400
dream, he is like ready to be a
new person.
706
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,800
There's like something changed
about him, his demeanor is
707
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,600
different.
He starts accepting that he is a
708
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,900
broken person that he needs to
be made whole and so that, that
709
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:54,000
dream.
It serves a really important
710
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,400
function in the movie and I
don't think you could cut it.
711
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,400
I don't think you could just go
from him, leaving New York and
712
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,600
going to Pittsburgh to him
waking up in that bed and being
713
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,200
a changed man.
But it's also like, if this was
714
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,800
the best way to convey that then
I think there might actually be
715
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,600
like a flaw with the movie
because it still doesn't work
716
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:16,100
fully.
Even if I understand why it's
717
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:21,200
there.
But I will say you, you claim to
718
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,200
not like you know, dream
sequences in movies and yet we
719
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,900
just came off of a episode of
you, loving a movie.
720
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:32,800
That is one giant dream
sequence.
721
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:39,700
What's that Eternal Sunshine?
Oh yeah, the entire movie is a
722
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:43,900
dream sequence, that's true.
I mean, that's the Saudis are.
723
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:46,900
Yeah, either needs to be all of
the movie or none of the movie.
724
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Yeah.
Can't you see?
725
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,400
Can't just be part of the movie.
You gotta go all in and okay?
726
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,200
Just want to be clear on your
feeling right about.
727
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:00,700
I don't know.
What did you think of that that
728
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:03,300
moment of the movie for me that
is like the weakest moment of
729
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:06,100
the movie even if it's like a
necessary part.
730
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,000
It's rough.
Yeah and and I think that it's
731
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,700
rough because I think as we're
talking about this, what I'm
732
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:19,100
honing in on is I think that the
It can be the weakest part of
733
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:24,400
this film at times and it really
comes to bear in that dream
734
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,200
sequence where I don't know if
it's Reese's delivery or just
735
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,800
the lines themselves, they just
feel put on and like like
736
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,100
they're not a normal person
delivering them and I think
737
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:41,000
that's the struggle.
I mean we haven't really talked
738
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,200
about Chris Cooper at all.
I think he does fine in this but
739
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,100
there's definitely moments where
I'm like, Chris Cooper is A
740
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:52,000
great actor, but the lines that
they are giving him are just so
741
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,400
stale and stereotypical that.
I struggle to believe them.
742
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,400
Yeah.
For me, they worked.
743
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,800
I mean, II would say, 98% of
this movie works for me and even
744
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,500
like I said, even that dream
sequence.
745
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,300
It doesn't work great, but it's
a functionally necessary part of
746
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:13,100
the script.
And so I kind of give it a pass.
747
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,000
I don't know.
Brad, I'm ready to give a final
748
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,900
score on this movie and I am way
higher.
749
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:18,700
On this movie than I thought
that I would be.
750
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,600
I think this is a pretty
brilliantly structured movie.
751
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:28,100
Well acted really well directed
with a very smart script.
752
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:29,700
I'm going to give this a nine
out of ten.
753
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,500
I really enjoyed this this time
around.
754
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:35,300
I honestly, I feel like I've
spent this whole episode just
755
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:40,200
kind of crapping on the movie,
which is, is not actually how I
756
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,200
feel about it.
I was gonna say, where's your
757
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,600
Thanksgiving Spirit, man?
Man, I don't know, I love this
758
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,400
movie.
Gee, I think it really
759
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:55,400
illustrates the power of living,
a disciplined life and how
760
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:02,300
someone, who lives a disciplined
life can learn to just love
761
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:08,700
people into being that for Lloyd
Vogel at the end of his life.
762
00:43:08,700 --> 00:43:12,100
Or, you know, let's let's be
honest about it for Tom, junod,
763
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,900
at the end of his life if he
took 60 seconds to think about
764
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:19,800
the people who have shaped Him,
I would imagine Fred Rogers
765
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,400
would be in the top three, and
it's because of the the
766
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,200
sincerity with which Fred
believed in his convictions.
767
00:43:28,700 --> 00:43:33,300
And man, I could only hope to
live such a life like that where
768
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:40,400
I believe so deeply in the
beauty of humility and honesty,
769
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,600
and loving your neighbor as
yourself that man, I hope I
770
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,000
could have Affect people in the
way that Fred Rogers did.
771
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000
So I I like the movie a lot.
I'll give it an eight and a half
772
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:57,400
and I, yeah, man, I think that
Tom Hanks does a really, really
773
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,600
nice job of presenting the
sincerity of it.
774
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,700
Even if no one can ever actually
imitate it, if you've never read
775
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:09,700
the essay that inspired this
movie by the writer, Tom junod,
776
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:13,600
in Esquire.
It is one of the best pieces of
777
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,800
magazine profiles, I've ever
ever read.
778
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,700
Like it is, it's one of those
things like you read it and
779
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:21,600
you're like, I'm gonna remember
reading that for the rest of my
780
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,900
life.
It is just an incredible piece
781
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:26,000
of writing.
Do yourself a favor, you know,
782
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:31,400
before the the carb coma sets in
after Thanksgiving dinner, while
783
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,000
you're sitting around with, not
much to do, pull that up and
784
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,800
read that Esquire article
because it is incredible.
785
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:39,800
I want to say once again.
Happy Thanksgiving filmin.
786
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,900
Whiskey Nation.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Brad
787
00:44:41,900 --> 00:44:43,300
G.
Yeah man.
788
00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:46,200
It is so good to spend a little
bit of time with you here on
789
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,100
Thanksgiving.
I'm here on Thanksgiving.
790
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:50,500
Hey Brad, I'm so we're recording

791
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:54,600
Thanksgiving.
My birthday is on Thanksgiving
792
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,600
this year.
So not only is it Thanksgiving?
793
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,400
It's my birthday right now.
That's right.
794
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,200
And you need a butterscotch pie.
I sure do man.
795
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,800
So I will be expecting that
delivery on my birthday /
796
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,200
Thanksgiving day so hopefully
filmin whiskey Nation.
797
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,100
As you listen to this Brad will
be on my doorstep bringing me
798
00:45:13,100 --> 00:45:16,800
pie so we'll be back on Monday
with another regular.
799
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,500
We scheduled episode but until
then I'm Bob book I'm Reggie and
800
00:45:21,500 --> 00:45:22,500
we'll see you next time.
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:02,000
Hey, everybody.
Welcome into the film and
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,800
whiskey podcast.
I'm Bob book, I'm Reggie, and
3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,500
we're coming at you today with
another special bonus episode.
4
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:13,300
It's hanksgiving.
It's Thanksgiving, it's
5
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:16,700
hanksgiving.
It sure is.
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,000
And I love that you that you
used A Christmas, Carol fernet
7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,100
bad I guess there aren't any
Thanksgiving songs are there.
8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:24,800
Yeah.
Yeah.
9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,900
As I said there's like three
Halloween songs and yet somehow
10
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:31,200
people try to convince To
themselves that they can have
11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,700
like, a whole Halloween
playlist, there's no things
12
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,700
going songs.
Although some of the Christmas
13
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,300
songs I believe Jingle Bells, I
could be wrong there.
14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,200
That's like the deep in the
recesses of my mind is actually,
15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,000
was originally a Thanksgiving
song.
16
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:50,900
So, interesting side.
I know that some Christmas
17
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,100
carols.
Originally were like,
18
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,700
Thanksgiving songs, but but now
there's not really any in the
19
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,200
modern understanding of the
word.
20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,500
Well, in any case we are
celebrating Thanksgiving.
21
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:02,200
So, first of all, filmin,
whiskey Nation.
22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Happy Thanksgiving to you.
We're glad that you chose to
23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,800
join us today as we continue a
series that we started.
24
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:11,400
I think this is the third year.
Now, Brad, we're on
25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,700
Thanksgiving.
We watch a Tom Hanks movie and
26
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,800
we call it hanksgiving.
I'm freaking pumped.
27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,900
Hanksgiving was the best idea
we've ever had Brad easily.
28
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:24,500
We're going to keep doing this
until we get Tom on the podcast
29
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,900
for a Thanksgiving episode.
Oh my gosh.
30
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,500
Did you ever there's a whole
podcast about that if you seen
31
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,500
this Cast.
It's like oh it was a guy I
32
00:01:32,508 --> 00:01:35,100
can't remember what the podcast
was called but it was a guy that
33
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,500
was like Tom Hanks rejected me
or something and it was all
34
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:42,200
about like how he read for a
part or something and then
35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,900
didn't get the part and it like
screwed with his psyche for
36
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:47,500
forever and it was like a joke
and he started it with just him
37
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:51,100
and his friends and then it took
off and then eventually Tom
38
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,100
Hanks came on the on the podcast
and that was like the last
39
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:56,800
episode was like him.
Recounting this with Tom Hanks.
40
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,800
All right, we're going to hit
the rebranding room immediately.
41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,600
Following this episode Bob
that's like we're only gearing
42
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200
this podcast towards Tom Hanks
movies?
43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,200
No yeah I'll if we're gonna go
after a Tom that I think I hate
44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,300
to say it.
I really want to get Tom Cruise
45
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,100
podcast.
I never and I never knew the
46
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:19,100
extent of your love for Tom
Cruise until lately like you
47
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:22,500
have mentioned him on every
episode of this podcast for
48
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:25,600
probably the last four months.
You know.
49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,500
I think that my fandom for him
has grown over the years.
50
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,400
But as I've gotten older and
honestly, as we've done this
51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,700
podcast and watching more and
more films than more, I'm just
52
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:37,700
like damn it.
If I don't love me some, Tom
53
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:42,100
Cruise, we're not here to talk,
it's not Cruz giving, man, it's
54
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:46,900
hanksgiving.
Should we should we do bonus
55
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,000
episodes called Cruz miss
Christmas?
56
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Yes, that's alright.
We're coming at you next month
57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,100
on Christmas Eve cruise missile,
Eve.
58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,100
Tom Cruise - all right.
So Happy Thanksgiving,
59
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:04,200
everybody.
We're in part 3 of hanksgiving
60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200
and we decided to watch a very
recent movie in the Tom Hanks,
61
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:10,800
Louvre.
I asked Brad what he wanted to
62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,900
do.
I think we were kicking around
63
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,200
the idea of that thing you do
and Brad said, no, I want to
64
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,800
watch a beautiful day in the
neighborhood, which is his 2019.
65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Mr. Rogers biopic.
And I said, absolutely because,
66
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,500
you know, I watched it in the
theater and I loved it.
67
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,400
I watched it at least a couple
times at home with my wife and
68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,100
we both really like it.
It's Been probably a year year
69
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,900
and a half since I've watched it
last and Brad, I remember liking
70
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:39,000
this movie, but not totally
being on board with some of the
71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
more artistic flourishes of the
movie and thinking like, you
72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,900
know, it's probably like a 77
and a half out of ten.
73
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:48,100
It was a good movie but not as
good certainly, as that Mister
74
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:51,400
Rogers, documentary that came
out a couple years ago and I got
75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,700
us a man watching it back this
time, I'm growing to appreciate
76
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,300
this movie more and more, the
more frequently I watch it.
77
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:00,900
I think this is Really great
movie.
78
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:04,800
I think it was slept on, I think
a lot of people evaluated it
79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,400
probably the way I did the first
time around, but it really holds
80
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,000
up to repeat viewings.
And I'm a much bigger fan now
81
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,600
than I was three years ago when
it came out Bob.
82
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,300
I've drank just enough whiskey
and the whiskey were drinking
83
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:24,400
tonight is wildly high-proof so
I've had enough of this whiskey
84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,000
to become pedantic and say that
you've ra-ra refers to the works
85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
of AR.
Artist painter composer or
86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,700
author but not that of an actor.
So I think you need to take it
87
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,200
back.
Sure.
88
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,200
The Tom Hanks catalog the Tom
Hanks filmography.
89
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:49,100
Hey those are great words.
Bob the threat was a great.
90
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:51,600
I appreciate the diction.
Thank you very much.
91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,700
Thank you.
We urge.
92
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:55,900
All right.
So yeah yeah, talk about the
93
00:04:55,907 --> 00:04:59,500
movie man.
I remember watching this with
94
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:04,700
some Hands that like Haley.
And I are really close to, and
95
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:09,900
like, the scene when Tom just
makes him stop for.
96
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:11,700
I'm pretty sure an actual.
Yeah.
97
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:14,100
It's a full moon literal, 60
seconds.
98
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:19,900
Which I love when movies are,
like, we only have 30 seconds to
99
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:24,800
save the planet and then, like,
four minutes later in movie time
100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,000
that like they saved the planet.
But in this case, they actually
101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,600
take a literal Sixty seconds to
examine like, think about the
102
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,300
people who have made us who we
are who loved us into becoming
103
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:43,000
who we are and Tom Hanks just
looks directly into my soul.
104
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,300
Yeah, and I look around and
everybody's just kind of like
105
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:52,900
silently shoulders shaking
sobbing including myself and I'm
106
00:05:52,900 --> 00:06:00,200
just like oh this might be like
a top, ten like single Movie
107
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,900
scene for me that I've ever
seen.
108
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,800
I, one of the things I love
about this movie and Brad.
109
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,800
If you don't mind, I think we
should just really just jump
110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,100
right into talking about the
movie and what we loved about it
111
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:13,600
because these episodes are not
usually as long as the full film
112
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,500
in whiskey episodes.
What whiskey are we going to
113
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:19,400
drink today, Bob?
Okay, yeah, you teased it but we
114
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,900
haven't talked about it.
All right, so these are from Two
115
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:27,000
Souls Spirits, which is a new I
guess what they call themselves.
116
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Is a bottler.
Of craft whiskey so they select
117
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,900
barrels.
They bottle it under their label
118
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,100
and then they release it.
There's a few Brands doing this
119
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,400
right now.
Two Souls is a new one based out
120
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,100
of Gainesville Florida and their
first two products are a
121
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:45,400
four-year bourbon that comes
from Watershed distillery in.
122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,100
Oh yeah, let's go and an
eight-year ride from Yahara Bay
123
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,600
distillers, in Wisconsin and
Brad.
124
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:54,900
This is going to be jogging your
memory here.
125
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:59,800
But last season, we tried
whiskies from a producer called
126
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:02,600
Good water.
And all of those came from
127
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Yahara Bay, I believe.
So we had uehara Bay whiskey
128
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,000
before but this one's an
eight-year rye.
129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,500
As you said these are very high
proof whiskies.
130
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:14,700
They're both Barrel proof.
The bourbon comes in at 120 3.0
131
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,000
for proof and the Rye comes in
at 140 7.18 Proof.
132
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,900
So this might be Brad.
I think our first they call this
133
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:28,900
Hazmat when something is over
70%, I think this might actually
134
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:31,500
be our first has Matt Whiskey on
the podcast.
135
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,600
And if it's not the first, it's
maybe the second.
136
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,800
Yeah, I was going to say, I've
only I think it has to be our
137
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,300
first because I've only ever had
one, Hazmat designated whiskey
138
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,900
before, and it actually was a
watershed whiskey.
139
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:46,300
Oh, wow.
Okay, so yeah.
140
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,500
So this is, I'm pretty sure our
first one on the podcast and
141
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,300
having drink it already.
I will say it's a good whiskey.
142
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:57,500
It is very has.
Matt Gregory has Matic.
143
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,700
So let's get back into talking
about the movie though.
144
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:02,300
Wanted to say that.
One of the things I love about
145
00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:06,100
this movie is the way that the
script brings in elements from
146
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:09,800
Fred Rogers life that didn't
necessarily happen, you know, at
147
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,300
this exact moment in Fred Rogers
life but things they needed to
148
00:08:13,308 --> 00:08:15,900
touch on and they weave them in
really beautifully.
149
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,400
It's a really well-done biopic
and to be fair, it's not really
150
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,700
a biopic of Fred Rogers, but,
you know, he is a character in
151
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:27,600
it and it is a pretty accurate
depiction of what he was like.
152
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:31,700
And so bringing in that famous
Moment where I think he was
153
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:35,400
accepting a Lifetime Achievement
Award at the Emmys and he did
154
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,900
this from the stage.
He stopped the whole, you know,
155
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:41,000
Emmy telecast to make everybody
in the audience sit there and
156
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,400
think about the people that
helped to get them to that
157
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,300
moment.
And it is a really famous clip.
158
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:48,300
I'm sure a lot of you have seen
it on YouTube and I think the
159
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:51,700
choice to include that in the
movie is, it's a really bold
160
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,600
choice and it's a really great
touch and they do a few of those
161
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,100
throughout the movie, you know,
at one point somebody asked mr.
162
00:08:58,100 --> 00:08:59,700
Rogers weren't you like a
sniper?
163
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:03,100
In the war and he debunks that
theory and you know, it's little
164
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,400
things like that that we've all
heard about mr.
165
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,300
Rogers.
But those of us who maybe
166
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,900
haven't seen the documentary or
haven't read more about his
167
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,400
life.
They do a good job of weaving.
168
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,100
Those in to answer those
questions.
169
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,100
I think the question I need
answered most is one that my
170
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:21,200
wife pointed out.
Do you think that mr.
171
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Rogers wore a speedo to swimmin.
Hmm, I'm a little concerned.
172
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,600
That that was the question on
your wife's.
173
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,500
Mind that.
That was the one question she
174
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:34,300
and I both got out of this
movie.
175
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:36,800
Yeah.
Where I was like, you know, old
176
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,300
people do weird things, so, it
wouldn't surprise me.
177
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,300
But that, yep, that was it, man.
That was the one question we had
178
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,400
coming out of this film.
I'm not going to answer that
179
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,300
because I don't want to think
about mr.
180
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:55,700
Rogers wearing a speedo but you
will think about Tommy.
181
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,500
Yeah I will.
I will see that in all its
182
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:04,100
Glory.
Oh, man, I guess if we could
183
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:08,700
start with just a few of the
things that I struggle with
184
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Matthew Rhys, I believe you
would pronounce his last name.
185
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,600
Is he like a C+, Edward Norton.
So I mean I guess we can just
186
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,400
get into this right away.
The first time I saw this movie,
187
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,500
I was like he's really solid and
he's a very good actor.
188
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:30,400
He was on a show on FX for a
number of years called The
189
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,500
Americans, which is a really
highly regarded show won a ton
190
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,100
of awards.
He was the lead actor on that
191
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:40,600
and again, like the supporting
role is mr.
192
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Rogers.
And he's the charismatic one and
193
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,100
it's Tom Hanks, so you've got
the mega wattage star in this
194
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:49,300
movie and Matthew, Rhys has
there to be sad and Then to not
195
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:52,400
be so sad.
And I watched it this time Brad.
196
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,500
And I have to say, man, like,
Matthew Rhys has the best actor
197
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,700
in this movie, and I don't know.
He's, he's a better actor
198
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:03,500
overall than Tom Hanks.
His performance is outstanding,
199
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,100
dude.
And and again, maybe it's
200
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,200
because I've seen it three
times.
201
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,700
Now, he plays every moment of
this movie Perfectly.
202
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,800
I'm like, I could not believe
how good his performance was in
203
00:11:14,808 --> 00:11:16,500
this movie bread.
Alright?
204
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,900
So maybe the reason I don't
Enjoy him as much as because of
205
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:25,900
my second nitpick.
I just feel like he and Susan.
206
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:32,500
Watson have literally the
smallest amount of chemistry if
207
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:37,100
it exists at all of any romantic
pairing that I've seen in a
208
00:11:37,108 --> 00:11:40,800
movie.
And I just, I just feel like
209
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,900
they have zero on screen
presents together where I can,
210
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:48,300
like hardly believe that they
would ever be.
211
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,000
Married in the first place,
that's so funny.
212
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,900
Yeah.
I think again, maybe this is
213
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:54,400
where we're going to come down
on different sides of this
214
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,000
movie.
I think the movie does a really
215
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,300
good job of placing you in the
middle of a marital conflict or
216
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:06,200
a life conflict, like they have
just had a baby so they're super
217
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,300
tired.
That's, you know, Brad you and I
218
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:11,700
both know this like new baby
time is not the most romantic
219
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,900
time in anyone's marriage.
Like you're doing what you can
220
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,900
to find some equilibrium and I
think they play that really
221
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,000
well.
I think he does a really great
222
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
job of playing a guy who has
repressed emotions really,
223
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
really well.
And and this this anger that
224
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,300
bubbles to the surface, anytime
he's challenged on that and man,
225
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:35,900
he calls himself a broken person
in the middle of the movie.
226
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:37,900
And that's I mean that's in that
same scene that you were just
227
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:40,300
referring to where they're in
the Chinese restaurant.
228
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,700
And Mister Rogers, tells him
that I don't think you're broke.
229
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,000
And I think that you have a
really good gauge on what's
230
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,500
right and wrong, and, Man, I
don't know.
231
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:53,200
I think he does such a fantastic
job of playing a guy who is in
232
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,300
the most vulnerable spot.
He's ever been in his life and
233
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:59,900
doesn't know how to Grapple with
that and his performance.
234
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:05,000
Just wowed me man that that is.
I don't know man, that's
235
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,200
fascinating me.
I just walked away from this
236
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200
movie.
The first time I saw it and this
237
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,100
time thinking to myself.
Wow that series was just okay.
238
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,200
I think they could have done
better that Those are my little
239
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,300
thoughts, it's not that he was
terrible.
240
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:26,000
Like, I think he does a really
nice job of portraying the
241
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,800
frustration that he has, but I
just feel like he has this dead
242
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,900
look in his eyes throughout the
entire film.
243
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:36,900
Even when he's like, starting to
get healthier that I'm like, oh,
244
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:40,100
he just can't really Express
emotion.
245
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:44,100
Well, as an actor, that more
than just letting his his
246
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,500
character, but, you know, being
being hurt.
247
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:50,000
Wow, well, Brad while I am I'm
thankful for you on this
248
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Thanksgiving.
I think I completely disagree,
249
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,300
because even in that Chinese
restaurant scene, it's the first
250
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,800
time in the whole movie, you see
him smile, and you see, you see
251
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,300
the top row of his teeth and I
was like, oh, he, this man has
252
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:05,900
teeth and it's such a genuine
moment of emotion, finally
253
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:10,200
cracking through and and like
the sense of relief and a weight
254
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,100
being lifted off of his
shoulders, you know, Brad I
255
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,700
obviously I'm a sucker for
movies like this, where we're
256
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,300
broken people find some sort of
therapy.
257
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,100
And they would be for what Bob,
you know what?
258
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,600
In further issues with their
dad, in true.
259
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,500
You know, man, fashion men will
literally write a 10,000 word
260
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:34,600
article in Esquire magazine
about mr.
261
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Rogers, instead of going to
therapy.
262
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,300
Yeah.
And and that's what this man
263
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:41,000
does to get over.
You know, his daddy issues and
264
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,900
the movie obviously works for me
on that front.
265
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,800
But also I just think that it's
really smart to not Make a
266
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,800
straight mr.
Rogers biopic.
267
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:52,900
I actually don't think that
would be a good movie, mr.
268
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:55,900
Rogers, it's weird to say this
mr.
269
00:14:55,900 --> 00:15:00,800
Rogers is a man with too few
demons to make a compelling film
270
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400
like with him as the main
character.
271
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800
Do you know what I mean?
No, 100% And I think that having
272
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,600
mr.
Rogers enter, someone's life and
273
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,900
fix it for the better is the way
to go.
274
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:14,900
And I think this movie really
does a great job with that,
275
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:16,000
Brad.
What do you say?
276
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,900
We try this first whiskey and
then we'll come back and About
277
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:22,100
Hanks himself and then we'll go
from there.
278
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:23,900
What do you say?
Yeah, I love it, man.
279
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,400
Let's do it.
Let's try this Watershed Ohio
280
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,400
straight bourbon whiskey.
Like I said, aged 44 years, it
281
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,100
is 123 proof.
I'm just now pouring it out into
282
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,000
the glass.
So Brad, why don't you give us
283
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,600
your notes on this?
Yeah, as I got into the nose on
284
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,300
this guy, I felt like it was a
lot of brown sugar vanilla and
285
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,900
then I don't know, man,
Watershed is one of the most
286
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,900
unique.
Whiskey's in that.
287
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:55,900
I think that I could pick a
watershed nose out of almost any
288
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:59,900
lineup you would give me.
And I'm not always sure what it
289
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:02,700
is.
It has its own Funk.
290
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,400
If you will its own, will it
funk?
291
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:09,600
Hmm, I think I'm gonna say it's
like Cream of Wheat.
292
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:13,200
Yeah, for me, I think I'd said
this last time we tried will it
293
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,300
like, an actual Willett product?
It's not actually that funky, I
294
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:18,900
just remember it as being
Monkey.
295
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:21,700
It's a dustiness that goes with
like rose petal.
296
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,800
It's floral and dust at the same
time and like how is think
297
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,500
about?
Did you ever read that book?
298
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,100
Great Expectations.
When you were in high school or
299
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:33,300
anything, we had to do that.
There's a, the Jane Austen book.
300
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:36,000
It's Charles Dickens.
There's a character in that book
301
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,300
called Miss havisham.
Who's this old lady who got
302
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:41,400
abandoned on her wedding day, or
whatever and she, like lives, in
303
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,300
this old mansion covered in
cobwebs and she wears her old
304
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:47,100
wedding dress around and she
liked the inspiration for
305
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,900
Eleanor Rigby proud.
Bubbly.
306
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,100
And I just want to think about
Dusty floral arrangements.
307
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:54,400
I'm like, oh, this is like,
probably what Miss Miss
308
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,600
havisham's wedding, bouquet
smells like.
309
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,100
So there's a guy what's really
dark brown?
310
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,500
No, I'm just, like, I can't my
mind is thinking like, what
311
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:05,800
would make a floral bouquet
Dusty and it's like, well, I
312
00:17:05,808 --> 00:17:07,700
guess Miss havisham would make
it Dusty.
313
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,900
So for her sad, so with
Watershed, I think you're right
314
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:16,800
there.
Their usual stuff like there.
315
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,099
I don't know what you were.
They're standard product line
316
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:22,900
that you buy Off.
The Shelf, has a certain nose to
317
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:25,200
it but then I feel like they're
Barrel picks.
318
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,599
Have a completely different nose
to them and obviously we've done
319
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,800
a barrel pick with them.
So we've sampled straight from
320
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,900
the barrel.
This reminds me a lot on the
321
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:34,800
nose of the barrel that we
picked Brad and it has that sort
322
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,300
of Dusty floral quality to it.
I really like it.
323
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:39,700
And I'm going to give it a sip
now.
324
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:43,000
So I'm preparing myself for the
120 plus proof here.
325
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:48,400
Yeah, yeah, on the taste for me
it got a lot more.
326
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,300
More decadent on the, on the
palate.
327
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,000
It reminded me of like warmed
up.
328
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,000
Caramel, topping.
Hmm.
329
00:17:57,300 --> 00:17:59,100
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like that?
330
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:02,100
You would put on a Sunday with
peanuts.
331
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:06,900
Yeah, like it's warm caramel
topping, it's incredibly viscous
332
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,300
and then there's some brown
sugar and a little bit of cherry
333
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:13,000
on it.
That I am really intrigued by
334
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:18,100
this thing like was like warming
up on the runway of the nose and
335
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:21,500
then Blasted off with with the
actual palette.
336
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,000
It's not super complex.
I'll say that about it.
337
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,800
It's funny that you mentioned
something being warmed up,
338
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,100
because there is like a
difference in flavor when
339
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:30,900
something is warm versus when
it's chilled.
340
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And this actually reminded me of
back in like the 50s and 60s,
341
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,400
they try to encourage people to
drink dr.
342
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,100
Pepper hot, like to put dr.
Pepper in a saucepan and warm it
343
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:44,100
up and then drink it hot and
I've never tried that but this
344
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,300
this reminds me of like if you
did that with Coca-Cola it.
345
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,700
Doesn't have that sort of like
pop or fizziness to it, but it
346
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:56,200
reminds me of like, if you were
to take Coke and kind of make it
347
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,700
flat by heating it up and then
taking a sip of it, super
348
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:01,700
simple.
So, you know, a little bit of
349
00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:03,900
caramel a little bit of that
Cola flavor.
350
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,700
Underlying it, I like it a lot.
It doesn't drink like 120 proof,
351
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:11,500
it drinks spicy but it's not
super harsh.
352
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:14,500
The thing about all Watershed
products and and I guess I
353
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:17,400
should say this is a two Souls
product.
354
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,600
We're just we live right next to
Watershed.
355
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,000
We're very familiar with their
products.
356
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,700
So that's why referring it to to
it so much.
357
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:30,700
The thing about Watershed
products is that anything they
358
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:37,300
have over 120 proof drinks.
Like it's like, 108, like even
359
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:42,300
their Hazmat one, and I think it
was like, 142 proof whiskey that
360
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:47,900
I drank drank, like it was some
other companies 120 proof.
361
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:51,400
If you like it was definitely on
the higher end of the spectrum.
362
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,400
But not to the point where I was
like, wow, this is 15 points
363
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,300
higher than anything I've ever
drank before.
364
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,200
So I am always very impressed
with watersheds high-proof
365
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,200
outputs and I think this is a
really good place to start.
366
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,800
If you are two Souls because
it's a barrel pick from a
367
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,400
regional, you know, distribution
distillers.
368
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,500
So it's going to places that you
can't usually get Watershed
369
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:20,600
right now and and like I said
it's not super complex but it's
370
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,000
definitely a crowd pleaser.
I have no issues with this
371
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800
whiskey at all.
It drank really easily for 120.
372
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,400
Something proof.
I think this would be a really
373
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,000
good starting point for people
who are looking to get into the
374
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
world of barrel proof, Single
Barrel whiskeys.
375
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:37,800
I'm a big fan of this.
Yeah, honestly, I think I'd
376
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,000
probably end it like, a 37 38
out of 50.
377
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,600
Yeah, which is darn good.
Yeah, which is a really solid
378
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,800
whiskey that I would recommend.
All right, Brad, let's talk
379
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,200
about Tom Hanks on this
hanksgiving.
380
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:54,500
I struggle with this
performance.
381
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:58,900
It's a really good performance
and I feel like I have to
382
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:01,900
qualify that statement a little
bit because there are moments in
383
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:07,400
the movie where Tom Hanks is
doing a very good job at
384
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,300
impersonating.
Mr. Rogers.
385
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,200
There's moments in the movie,
which are the the down parts of
386
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,200
this performance, where Tom
Hanks is doing a very bad job at
387
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,800
impersonating, mr.
Rogers and then There's this
388
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,600
third type of moment where Tom
Hanks isn't so much even trying
389
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,200
to be mr.
Rogers anymore, as he is
390
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:30,700
leveraging, his Tom Hanks.
Enos does that make sense?
391
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:33,700
Like I feel like there are
moments where he stops trying to
392
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,500
impersonate Fred Rogers and he
just fully leans into the fact
393
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:42,300
that he's like I know that, you
know, that I'm Tom Hanks and I'm
394
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:45,900
going to give you like the most
Earnest Tom Hanks version of
395
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:48,800
this.
Yeah and it's almost like I
396
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:51,700
don't know how to explain it.
It's like a meta thing where
397
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:55,100
he's, he's not being mr.
Rogers anymore, he's being Tom
398
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:58,100
Hanks being mr.
Rogers, and it still works real.
399
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:01,100
It kind of reminds me of what I
was talking about with the the
400
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:05,400
Jack Nicholson performance in A
Few Good Men, where I don't buy
401
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,800
him as a member of the military.
But I buy him as Jack Nicholson
402
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,400
and he's leading into like I'm
gonna be the hard ass because
403
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,000
that's what Jack Nicholson does
and he does it really well.
404
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:21,300
Yeah, I think for me, one of the
this might sound dumb, but one
405
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:26,600
of the scenes that really stood
out to me is when Hanks was
406
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,400
underneath the castle playing,
you know, Daniel Tiger and doing
407
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,800
the puppeteering and he's like,
not even just not looking at the
408
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,900
camera but like completely
focused on something else.
409
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:42,400
And, you know, doing Daniel
Tiger's voice and all that.
410
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,100
There was something about that
moment that I was Like.
411
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:51,800
Oh, this is an incredible
performance where I just love
412
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,900
the sincerity with which he
plays the character and even in
413
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:00,900
a moment where it's not
glamorous, he's you know,
414
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:05,800
hunched over your hunche to
underneath this set piece
415
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:11,500
playing a tiger, you know,
puppeteering a tiger and and and
416
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,800
yet his voice comes across with
such sincerity.
417
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,700
I don't know if it's like the
voice.
418
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,500
Acting effect that he has of,
you know, having played Woody,
419
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:23,300
all these years and he just
knows how to work his voice.
420
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:25,600
Even when the camera is not
focused on him.
421
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,900
There is something about that
scene.
422
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,500
That just really stuck with me
and was like, oh man, I just I
423
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,000
really love what Tom is doing
with this character.
424
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:39,100
I think there are moments where
he is, he's really got the
425
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:42,000
Cadence of mr.
Roger's voice down, he never
426
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
quite gets the accent down.
And I think the worst moments of
427
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,900
this movie, Tom Hanks was
actually doing a Southern accent
428
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:51,200
for some reason, and I'm like
mr.
429
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,800
Rogers didn't talk like that,
but he does a very good job of
430
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,700
nailing, the Cadence with which
mr.
431
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:59,200
Rogers spoke.
And it was, especially apparent
432
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,500
to me in that very opening scene
of the movie.
433
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:05,100
So we'll talk a little bit about
how the movie structured, but
434
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,900
it's almost kind of book Ended
as if it is an episode of mr.
435
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:11,900
Rogers Neighborhood.
And so Tom Hanks comes in to the
436
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:15,100
set singing the song and talking
about, you know, let's meet one
437
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:17,300
of my friends in the
neighborhood That's how he
438
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:21,000
frames the story here, but you
can almost tell that the
439
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,500
director me real Heller.
Kind of let Tom Hanks, I mean I
440
00:24:27,508 --> 00:24:29,300
don't know if she'd let him
improvise there or not, but it
441
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:31,500
feels improvised.
It feels like he's coming up
442
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,100
with some of these things on the
spot which is very much, what
443
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:37,800
Fred Rogers did like they had a
script obviously, but, you know,
444
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,800
little things would happen on
set and he would just kind of
445
00:24:39,808 --> 00:24:41,300
talk about them as they
happened.
446
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:44,100
And if he didn't tie his shoe,
the right way, he would take an
447
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:46,600
extra beat during the song to
tie his shoe, correct way.
448
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:48,200
Way.
And if the zipper on his sweater
449
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,900
wasn't working it, you know like
it was always fluid with mr.
450
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:55,700
Rogers.
And he wanted it that way.
451
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,000
He wanted it to not be a perfect
production.
452
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,400
And I think that that especially
that very first scene, I was
453
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,100
like, oh this director and this
actor, get what mr.
454
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:07,900
Rogers was about.
Yes, and I love that it didn't
455
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:14,100
feel like a perfect polished
take of that scene and that made
456
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,100
it a perfect scene for me.
Yeah.
457
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,000
And if it Been a perfect polish
take that I think Tom Hanks
458
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,400
would have lost about 30 pounds
for the role.
459
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:24,700
Yeah, which would have been
really hard because I'm sure Tom
460
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:27,700
Hanks was, I'm sure Tom Hanks is
taller than mr.
461
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:31,600
Rogers was, but mr.
Rogers very famously kept his
462
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,400
weight at exactly 143 pounds for
his whole life because, you
463
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,800
know, the numbers 143 correspond
to the numbers of letters in the
464
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,900
phrase.
I love you.
465
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:47,300
And so, he always kept his
weight at 143 and You know, Tom
466
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:49,100
Hanks is never going to be 143
pounds.
467
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:52,200
Even at his most fit, when he
was in Castaway.
468
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,000
I think he said he got down to,
like, 170 something.
469
00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:00,300
So like, you know, I don't blame
him for not being a Grimm as mr.
470
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:04,300
And he certainly likes still not
pudgy like he's in pretty decent
471
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:08,400
shape for a man in his mid 60s
but but you're right like there
472
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,100
are some physical differences
between him and mr.
473
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:14,500
Rogers.
And I will say, as the movie
474
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:18,000
ends and the credits are rolling
and they Start playing an actual
475
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,700
clip of Fred singing.
Hayley and I just looked at each
476
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,400
other and we were like, Tom
Hanks is great.
477
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:29,400
But nobody can do mr.
Rice.
478
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:37,800
Like, he is a unique talent for
being a terrible, good singer
479
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,800
that.
I just don't understand how he
480
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:47,300
did it but the way he lived his
life led to the point where
481
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:51,500
everything he said, just made
you feel loved even if it's him
482
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:58,700
singing in a mostly on Ki voice.
I just can't explain it.
483
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:02,600
Bob how, how perfect he was at
being himself.
484
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Well, and I think that that is
ultimately the downfall of Hanks
485
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,400
trying to do this, right?
And this is nothing.
486
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,400
I want to say this like, by all
accounts, Tom Hanks is the
487
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,200
nicest guy in Hollywood.
That's like his brand and he
488
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,600
seems like a really decent
person in real life.
489
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,100
But they go to Great pains in
this movie to talk about how
490
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,000
people refer to Fred Rogers, as
an actual st.
491
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,000
And His wife in the film Joanne
talks about how it's a practice
492
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,100
that he does.
Like it's like a spiritual
493
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:34,100
practice, he's like a monk that
goes through these rituals to
494
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:36,900
keep himself from from letting
his anger over take him or
495
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,700
whatever.
And when you watch Fred Rogers,
496
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,800
do an interview like a, you
know, a YouTube clip of an
497
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,900
interview or when you actually
watch mr.
498
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:48,400
Rogers Neighborhood.
No matter how good of an actor
499
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,400
you are, there is like something
behind the eyes of mr.
500
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,200
Rogers.
Then that just emanates Truth.
501
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Yes, sincerity sincerity.
And like yeah, reflecting a life
502
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,300
that is authentically that and
as good of an actor is Tom Hanks
503
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:10,200
is he like you and I Brad are
not practicing this stuff to the
504
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,500
extent That Mister Rogers did
and it it shows through like
505
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,500
he's doing a really good
impression but even at even at
506
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:22,300
his most authentically, Tom
Hanks e he's still not hitting
507
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,700
Fred Rogers levels if that makes
sense.
508
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,700
Us.
And I think that should go to
509
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:32,100
show how special Fred Rogers is.
Yeah, because I'm with you 100%.
510
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:37,000
Tom Hanks is one of the greatest
living actors we have and not
511
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,900
only that, he is one of the
greatest human beings.
512
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,900
That is also an actor that we
currently have.
513
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:48,000
Like, he's an incredible man but
even he couldn't quite capture
514
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,300
it and it.
But I will say, I think that's
515
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:54,700
why the final scene of this
movie is really meaningful that
516
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:59,100
You know, you have him finish
the episode of Mister Rogers
517
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:02,100
Neighborhood and he kind of goes
off and he's saying goodbye to
518
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,600
everybody and he sits down he's
playing at the piano and he does
519
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,400
his, you know, what he said
earlier in the movie, he bangs
520
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,500
the, some of the bottom Keys,
real hard, because he's angry,
521
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:16,600
and there's something about that
final scene, that, that it's not
522
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:22,000
Tom acting anymore.
It's just a human being
523
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,300
internalizing.
Some of His frustration and
524
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:29,800
engaging.
In a, in a spiritual discipline
525
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:33,900
of this is how I will express my
anger, I'm gonna pound the
526
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:40,700
bottom keys of a keyboard.
And I think that that seen among
527
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:43,600
a few others felt the most
authentic to me.
528
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,200
And really was, like, why I love
this movie.
529
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,200
All right, Brad what?
We'll come back from our second
530
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,700
whiskey.
And I want to talk a little bit
531
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:53,800
about the direction of the
movie.
532
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,900
The Script do that.
The nitty-gritty stuff we get
533
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:59,300
into before we give final
scores, but let's try this
534
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,100
Hazmat Rye.
What do you say?
535
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:07,500
Let's get to it.
Alright, so we are checking out,
536
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:13,100
this Yahara Bay 147 proof rye
and I have to say Brad on the
537
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,900
nose, it certainly doesn't smell
147 proof.
538
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:20,000
I expected this, you know, to
have the Sex Panther by Odeon
539
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,500
effect on my nostrils and
stealing the nostrils, but it's
540
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:27,200
not doing that.
And it reminds me a lot on the
541
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,000
nose of the barrel of MGP Rye,
that we picked from Western
542
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,100
Reserve.
Yeah.
543
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:36,700
So this is very weird because
The Watershed smelled like the
544
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:39,600
Watershed we picked, this smells
like the Rye we picked.
545
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,200
I have a feeling that the guys
at two Souls have very similar
546
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,700
pallets to you and me, I don't
know about similar but
547
00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:50,000
incredible.
Yes like spectacular palette.
548
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,200
I don't know if there's a good
as ours but they're pretty, darn
549
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,300
good.
Yeah, Bob I will say if you are
550
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:01,800
ever drinking Hazmat quality
whiskey I would encourage you to
551
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,600
drink 123 proof whiskey right
before.
552
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:07,100
Or it.
Hmm because I think if you tried
553
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,900
this without having drink, the
water shed product first, I
554
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:14,400
think it would come across a
little stronger but, you know,
555
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,100
we're warmed up.
We're ready to go.
556
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,800
Whoo.
Yeah Dad.
557
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,900
I just drank it.
Okay.
558
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:24,700
So whole I'm gonna try to walk
you through this real quick
559
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:29,200
filming.
Whiskey Nation really sweet on
560
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,300
the first pass.
It goes down and it starts to
561
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:33,900
get spicy on the back of your
palate and you're like okay and
562
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:35,400
then it heats up.
A little bit more.
563
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,800
And you're like, oh yeah, this
is definitely Barrel proof, and
564
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,300
then it shot all the way back up
my tongue.
565
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,700
Like a, like the fuse at the
beginning of a mission
566
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:48,300
impossible movie and it hit it.
Landed on the tip of my tongue
567
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:52,100
and then was just like, hey
would you like to be on an
568
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:56,900
episode of hot ones?
Like it just like it is real
569
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:59,900
spicy and there.
But the cool thing is like it
570
00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:04,400
pairs with the Rye spice.
So it in it has the pepperiness
571
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,000
of a awry.
But then also like straight
572
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,100
alcohol burn like this is
definitely 147 proof but it
573
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:16,000
manifested that alcohol
differently than I would have
574
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,300
thought.
Yeah for me the nose gave off
575
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:26,900
not just Rai but like a freshly
baked loaf of rye bread like
576
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:30,500
really really fresh rye bread
with a little bit of like
577
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:36,400
cardamom and and if few other
baking spices, Isis and it
578
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,800
didn't lead me to believe that I
would get what I got on the
579
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,900
palate bro.
It is brown sugar.
580
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:46,300
Sweet vanilla and I almost got
like a butterscotch pie.
581
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,700
So interesting like Justin is
that a thing is there
582
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:51,900
butterscotch pie?
Bob.
583
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,300
All right.
Forget the rest of this episode.
584
00:32:56,700 --> 00:33:00,100
The next time I see you, I'm
going to bring you Haley's,
585
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:02,300
butterscotch, pie.
Is this something that you eat
586
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,300
at Thanksgiving?
It's freaking killer, honestly,
587
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:08,400
it would be a good Thanksgiving
dessert.
588
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:11,100
I don't know if it's like a
traditional Thanksgiving
589
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,700
dessert.
All I'm saying is it's freaking
590
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,500
delicious.
Yeah, yeah.
591
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:18,300
This is good, man.
This is incredible.
592
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,300
I like the, the Finish has a
little bit of, oh, can dry it
593
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:24,000
with Mixed with that
butterscotch.
594
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,600
That just lingers for a really
long time.
595
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,800
Yeah, I think that's one of the
things I love about Barrel.
596
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Proof whiskies is how long they
sit on your, on your palate.
597
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,000
And your flavor wheel for like,
30 minutes afterwards, like I
598
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,000
the last, I drink this.
This whiskey was like 30 minutes
599
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,400
ago and I can still like taste a
little bit of it on my palette
600
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,500
and I just man, I'm a really big
fan honestly dude.
601
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:52,700
I think I would probably give
this one close to like a 40 to
602
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,100
Two out of 50.
Yeah, this is really good.
603
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,100
Both of these are fantastic
picks.
604
00:33:57,100 --> 00:34:00,500
And like if this is the kind of
level that two Souls is going to
605
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:02,300
be operating on.
I think they're going to really
606
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:04,500
make a name for themselves
quickly because like yeah,
607
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:06,800
easily really really good pics
here.
608
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:09,900
All right, Brad.
So we will say thank you now to
609
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:12,500
two souls for both of these
samples because they're
610
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:15,699
fantastic.
Let's talk Marielle Heller and
611
00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:19,600
the direction of this movie.
So Heller had just come off of a
612
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,600
movie, that was nominated for a
few, Oscars called.
613
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,800
Will you ever forgive me?
Which got an Oscar nomination
614
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,400
for Melissa McCarthy in the lead
role.
615
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,699
That was a really good movie and
she does like she likes to
616
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:33,000
operate in.
I don't know how to explain this
617
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,100
like the way that this movie has
almost like a Grime Enos to it
618
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:42,900
or a dinginess to it in the New
York scenes like that's kind of
619
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:45,300
what will you ever forgive me?
Looks like the whole movie.
620
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:48,000
She likes to kind of get down
and dirty with her characters
621
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,600
and reflects that in the
visuals.
622
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:54,300
I really loved the way that she
uses The techniques of
623
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:57,500
filmmaking to get a lot of her
points across in this movie,
624
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:59,700
especially with the look of the
film.
625
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:02,500
And I really stuck out to me.
There's the scene where he's
626
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:06,700
first on set watching the mr.
Rogers thing happening and it's
627
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:08,200
what you're talking about.
So scene where he's filming
628
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,700
Daniel Tiger and Lloyd is
watching.
629
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,100
You know, from behind the scenes
as Fred Rogers performs and they
630
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:18,300
had this like brilliant shot,
looking at him watching Tom
631
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:22,700
Hanks and in the background
everything is really warmly lit.
632
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,400
It like the whole studio has
this like homey, yellow E Light
633
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,800
to it, it just looks very
comfortable but where Lloyd is
634
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,300
standing is off to the side of
that.
635
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:36,800
And he's standing in this like
almost sickly green, fluorescent
636
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,400
light.
And for the first third of the
637
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,200
movie first half of the movie,
almost, she does all these
638
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,500
incredible visual things that
just emphasize the point that,
639
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:49,000
like he is not a part of the
neighborhood quote-unquote.
640
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,500
Like he has not embraced what
mr.
641
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:54,300
Rogers is about.
He doesn't consider himself
642
00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:58,000
worthy of that because of all
this baggage, he's like actively
643
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,700
looking for ways to undermine it
or expose it.
644
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:03,500
And there's another great shot
right before that where they
645
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:06,600
where he's looking at the model
of the neighborhood that they
646
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,600
show at the beginning of the
each episode and he's looking
647
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,700
down on it like a judgmental.
God, like his face is just in
648
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:17,400
the background of it.
And again, it's this way of of
649
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,500
conveying, he is not a part of
this.
650
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,600
He's judging it.
He's looking for a way to ruin
651
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,500
it.
It if he can't because that's
652
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:27,000
what he's coming here to do is
find some sort of flaw or crack.
653
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,300
And I just really loved the way
that they conveyed that visually
654
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:33,800
in this movie.
And I think that is the greatest
655
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:39,700
strength of this movie is that
movies are always a product of
656
00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:43,800
their time and you can you know,
you can watch almost any film
657
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,700
and use it as a commentary on
the culture and you know, the
658
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:52,800
decade that it came out of and I
think that this movie coming out
659
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,700
Out in was it was a two dozen 18
or 19.
660
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:58,200
I think it was 19.
Yeah, so that, you know, this
661
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,300
movie comes out in 2019 and I
think that in a world of
662
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,400
massive, political upheaval and
questioning about what it means
663
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,800
to be a human being and a world
where there was a lot of
664
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,400
disbelief in traditional moral
figures, right?
665
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,700
Like Bob you and I, you know,
are a part of the Christian
666
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:22,700
culture, there's been a lot of
really crappy.
667
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:26,000
Be pastors out there who have
fallen from Grace if you will.
668
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,100
So like in a world of 2019 where
we're questioning all these
669
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,900
things.
Any of us would approach a mr.
670
00:37:34,900 --> 00:37:37,600
Rogers type figure and be like.
Yeah.
671
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,800
There there's something dirty
here, there's something behind
672
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:47,500
the facade and this movie is is
making the claim like mr.
673
00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:52,000
Rogers life made the claim?
No, there there are some pure
674
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,800
people out.
There that have their flaws, and
675
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,800
they will admit to them, but
they engage in such a lifestyle
676
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:04,800
that they are pure.
Even at, you know, even amongst
677
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,800
the fact that they're still
Sinners, if you will, they're
678
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,200
pure.
And there's so pure that they
679
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,900
can turn the mind of the deepest
cynic.
680
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:18,800
And I think that's where this
movie really, really succeeds.
681
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:22,400
Because even, I, somebody who
believes in mr.
682
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,200
Rogers, Rogers lifestyle as a
way of life for anyone to to
683
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,400
live into, even I would watch
some of mr.
684
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Rogers stuff and be like, is he
really that good?
685
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:38,500
No, I totally get it man.
And I think that again if
686
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:41,200
there's a fundamental flaw with
this movie and it was the thing
687
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,500
I struggled with the first time
around, its kind of the Flights
688
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:47,600
of Fancy that the movie takes
and having like the model
689
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,000
buildings and the model
airplanes and reflecting some of
690
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,400
the the more fanciful.
Of the Mister Rogers,
691
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,400
Neighborhood TV show.
And there's this extended dream
692
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,000
sequence in the middle of the
movie.
693
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,300
And if that was always the part
of the movie that I struggle
694
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,800
with the most, I just, I don't,
I never liked dream, sequences
695
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,700
and movies anyway.
But this one was, especially
696
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:12,200
jarring because it really pulled
me out of the movie.
697
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,600
And I think that this time
around, you know, I knew it was
698
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,400
coming.
But something had to be the
699
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:22,800
point where Lloyd's character
broke because he flies back back
700
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,600
to Pittsburgh at a really
crucial moment where his
701
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,700
estranged father has collapsed
and is in the hospital dying and
702
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:33,100
he kind of like walks out on
everybody and leaves.
703
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,300
He gets to Pittsburgh and
collapses and has this like
704
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,500
crazy fever dream.
And when he wakes up from that
705
00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:43,400
dream, he is like ready to be a
new person.
706
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,800
There's like something changed
about him, his demeanor is
707
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,600
different.
He starts accepting that he is a
708
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,900
broken person that he needs to
be made whole and so that, that
709
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:54,000
dream.
It serves a really important
710
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,400
function in the movie and I
don't think you could cut it.
711
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,400
I don't think you could just go
from him, leaving New York and
712
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,600
going to Pittsburgh to him
waking up in that bed and being
713
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,200
a changed man.
But it's also like, if this was
714
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,800
the best way to convey that then
I think there might actually be
715
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,600
like a flaw with the movie
because it still doesn't work
716
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:16,100
fully.
Even if I understand why it's
717
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:21,200
there.
But I will say you, you claim to
718
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,200
not like you know, dream
sequences in movies and yet we
719
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,900
just came off of a episode of
you, loving a movie.
720
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:32,800
That is one giant dream
sequence.
721
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:39,700
What's that Eternal Sunshine?
Oh yeah, the entire movie is a
722
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:43,900
dream sequence, that's true.
I mean, that's the Saudis are.
723
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:46,900
Yeah, either needs to be all of
the movie or none of the movie.
724
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Yeah.
Can't you see?
725
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,400
Can't just be part of the movie.
You gotta go all in and okay?
726
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,200
Just want to be clear on your
feeling right about.
727
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:00,700
I don't know.
What did you think of that that
728
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:03,300
moment of the movie for me that
is like the weakest moment of
729
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:06,100
the movie even if it's like a
necessary part.
730
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,000
It's rough.
Yeah and and I think that it's
731
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,700
rough because I think as we're
talking about this, what I'm
732
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:19,100
honing in on is I think that the
It can be the weakest part of
733
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:24,400
this film at times and it really
comes to bear in that dream
734
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,200
sequence where I don't know if
it's Reese's delivery or just
735
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,800
the lines themselves, they just
feel put on and like like
736
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,100
they're not a normal person
delivering them and I think
737
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:41,000
that's the struggle.
I mean we haven't really talked
738
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,200
about Chris Cooper at all.
I think he does fine in this but
739
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,100
there's definitely moments where
I'm like, Chris Cooper is A
740
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:52,000
great actor, but the lines that
they are giving him are just so
741
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,400
stale and stereotypical that.
I struggle to believe them.
742
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,400
Yeah.
For me, they worked.
743
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,800
I mean, II would say, 98% of
this movie works for me and even
744
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,500
like I said, even that dream
sequence.
745
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,300
It doesn't work great, but it's
a functionally necessary part of
746
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:13,100
the script.
And so I kind of give it a pass.
747
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,000
I don't know.
Brad, I'm ready to give a final
748
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,900
score on this movie and I am way
higher.
749
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:18,700
On this movie than I thought
that I would be.
750
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,600
I think this is a pretty
brilliantly structured movie.
751
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:28,100
Well acted really well directed
with a very smart script.
752
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:29,700
I'm going to give this a nine
out of ten.
753
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,500
I really enjoyed this this time
around.
754
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:35,300
I honestly, I feel like I've
spent this whole episode just
755
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:40,200
kind of crapping on the movie,
which is, is not actually how I
756
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,200
feel about it.
I was gonna say, where's your
757
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,600
Thanksgiving Spirit, man?
Man, I don't know, I love this
758
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,400
movie.
Gee, I think it really
759
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:55,400
illustrates the power of living,
a disciplined life and how
760
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:02,300
someone, who lives a disciplined
life can learn to just love
761
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:08,700
people into being that for Lloyd
Vogel at the end of his life.
762
00:43:08,700 --> 00:43:12,100
Or, you know, let's let's be
honest about it for Tom, junod,
763
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,900
at the end of his life if he
took 60 seconds to think about
764
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:19,800
the people who have shaped Him,
I would imagine Fred Rogers
765
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,400
would be in the top three, and
it's because of the the
766
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,200
sincerity with which Fred
believed in his convictions.
767
00:43:28,700 --> 00:43:33,300
And man, I could only hope to
live such a life like that where
768
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:40,400
I believe so deeply in the
beauty of humility and honesty,
769
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,600
and loving your neighbor as
yourself that man, I hope I
770
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,000
could have Affect people in the
way that Fred Rogers did.
771
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000
So I I like the movie a lot.
I'll give it an eight and a half
772
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:57,400
and I, yeah, man, I think that
Tom Hanks does a really, really
773
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,600
nice job of presenting the
sincerity of it.
774
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,700
Even if no one can ever actually
imitate it, if you've never read
775
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:09,700
the essay that inspired this
movie by the writer, Tom junod,
776
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:13,600
in Esquire.
It is one of the best pieces of
777
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,800
magazine profiles, I've ever
ever read.
778
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,700
Like it is, it's one of those
things like you read it and
779
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:21,600
you're like, I'm gonna remember
reading that for the rest of my
780
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,900
life.
It is just an incredible piece
781
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:26,000
of writing.
Do yourself a favor, you know,
782
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:31,400
before the the carb coma sets in
after Thanksgiving dinner, while
783
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,000
you're sitting around with, not
much to do, pull that up and
