Season 10 Finale: The Final Four, The Filmies & A Very Controversial Champion
In the Season 10 finale of Film & Whiskey, Bob and Brad wrap up their ambitious “re-review” season by finishing the official Film & Whiskey Bracket Challenge, handing out the annual Filmies, and crowning the best movie of the season, for better or worse.
Along the way, they review Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Cascadia Garryana Oak Barrel Finish, debate whether Rear Window, Casablanca, and 12 Angry Men are actually perfect films, and once again allow the dreaded Coin of Destiny to wreak absolute havoc on the bracket.
There are arguments. There is betrayal. There is deep cinematic reflection.
And there is one champion that may permanently damage this friendship.

Today on the Film and Whiskey
podcast, we are wrapping up
2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,200
season #10 Brad, we're finally
getting to take a break.
3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,120
I can't wait.
Oh, and we're also reviewing a
4
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:11,640
Whiskey.
Brad, tell the folks about the
5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,200
whiskey we're trying today.
Today we are going to be
6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,840
drinking Bardstown Bourbon
Company's Cascadia Gary Anna Oak
7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Barrel Finish, a whiskey that I
am very excited to try.
8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Bob, That's all.
Ahead on film and whiskey.
9
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Well, hey everybody, welcome
into the Film and Whiskey
10
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,400
podcast.
I'm Bob Book.
11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,960
I'm Brad Gee.
And for the last time in season
12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,960
#10 Brad, we are coming at you
with another special bonus
13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,640
episode.
Bonus episode.
14
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,599
It's music to my ears every time
you do it, man.
15
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,840
Brad, we actually don't have
that that much on the agenda
16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,840
today.
We can take our time episode.
17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,560
It's gonna go for an hour. 4.
Minutes.
18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,880
Let's just be honest here.
You know, it's funny because of
19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,600
all the things that I didn't
pull up in prep for this
20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,240
episode, I did not pull up our
bracket and we only have 4
21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,400
movies left and I'm like
scrambling to figure out what
22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,520
those 4 movies are.
You're joining us for the first.
23
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,920
It would help me.
Go ahead.
24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Yeah, we are looking at our
final four Bob for season 10.
25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,240
In the top left quadrant, we
have the number 16 overall film,
26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,080
Star Wars going against the
number 45 overall film, Rear
27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Window.
On the right side of the
28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,760
bracket, we have the number 2
seed 12 Angry Men versus the
29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,400
number three seed Casablanca
Bob.
30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,400
I think this is the first time
we have two upsets in the Final
31
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240
four.
I mean, what can you say, Brad,
32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,240
we're getting more and more
exciting in our old age, I guess
33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,479
just.
Folks, I was going to.
34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Going to intro this a little
bit, if this is your first time
35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,520
joining us, as I said last time,
why?
36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,120
Why is this your first time that
you chose to join us?
37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,480
Because this is the third
bracket episode in season #10
38
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Every year what we do we is we
watch 32 movies a season.
39
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:28,240
At the end of the season we put
those movies into a madness
40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,520
style bracket and we start
hacking away at that list until
41
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,000
we come to the champion of each
season.
42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Now we have arrived at our final
four films, as Brad has just
43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,520
said, I believe the newest of
which is Star Wars, right?
44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,640
Yeah.
These are all 40s and 50s films
45
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:48,480
except for Star Wars from 1977.
So we're looking at some true
46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,360
classics of Hollywood here in
our final four.
47
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Also, today we're gonna be
reviewing a Whiskey and we have,
48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,760
I guess what you could call
Brad, the most prestigious Film
49
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,520
Awards to give out, as we do
every season.
50
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Far and away I don't.
I don't think any other Film
51
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Awards get handed out in March,
do they?
52
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,480
No, in fact, The funny thing is
everybody's been complaining
53
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,280
about how late the Oscars were
this year, and we said screw
54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,840
that, we're going to go two
weeks after the Oscars, baby.
55
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,400
And we'll probably have we're
the last awards.
56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,120
Given out.
We'll probably have about the
57
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,120
same amount of viewers.
Yeah, exactly.
58
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,480
And you know, we're all just
going to be streaming on YouTube
59
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,920
eventually.
So welcome to our brethren at
60
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:31,560
the Oscars, is what I'm saying
here.
61
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,480
Brad, I am popping the cork on
our whiskey for the day.
62
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,720
I'm going to leave it up to you.
Do you want to dive into the
63
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,880
whiskey first?
Do we want to do it in between
64
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,480
rounds?
What?
65
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,000
How would you like to do this?
Let's do the whiskey, man.
66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,280
I'm I'm ready to drink.
This is a fresh pop.
67
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,200
OK, so I have not even remotely
sniffed at this bad boy until
68
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,760
right now.
Brad gave the name of this.
69
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,440
It is the Bardstown Bourbon
Company Distillery Reserve
70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,920
Cascadia Garyana Oak.
Now, Garyana is an interesting
71
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,520
kind of oak that I've only ever
experienced and I think one
72
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,240
other whiskey.
Brad, we tried a few whiskeys
73
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,920
from Westland Whiskey a couple
years ago, and I believe it's
74
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,200
Westland that has a Garyana.
And they've been doing it for a
75
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,279
couple years and it's always
like their biggest release of
76
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,920
the year.
It cost $200.
77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,240
And now Bardstown's getting
themselves in the game.
78
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:26,200
As always, Bardstown is killing
it with the packaging on their
79
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,480
little samples that they send
out.
80
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Because we got this nice little.
I mean, if it if it didn't have
81
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,080
information about whiskey on it,
I would hang it in my child's.
82
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,560
It looks like an Eric Karl very
Hungry Caterpillar book, You
83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,560
know what I mean?
Yeah.
84
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,880
That's good, so.
Here's the notes that Bardstown
85
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,880
gives on this Garyana Cascadia
blend.
86
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:49,720
Garyana oak, native only to the
Pacific Northwest, is as wild as
87
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,640
the shrinking forests it calls
home.
88
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,840
Dense and fiercely rare, it
can't be farmed or cut at will,
89
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,520
but rather gathered only from
fallen trees and sanctioned
90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,840
harvests.
It's tight grain and rich sugars
91
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,800
shaped bold baking spice,
caramelized oak, and a
92
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,080
smoldering finish found nowhere
else.
93
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:10,080
That is some damn good marketing
copy.
94
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,360
I got to be honest with you,
man.
95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,600
I think we need to put a not for
kids label on this.
96
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,480
I was going to say, the way you
read that it's supple.
97
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,360
Curves OK.
Finish.
98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,320
So let's give some quick stats
on this.
99
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,200
It's 107.5 proof.
It looks like it's a blend of
100
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,800
three different whiskeys, one
from Kentucky, I'm sorry, 2 from
101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,040
Kentucky, one from Indiana, and
they range from 8 years to 10
102
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,920
years in age.
Let's get that out of the way.
103
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,720
Now Brad, I want to dive into
this.
104
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,480
You look like you have already
gone ahead and just swigged the
105
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,480
whole thing.
So I'll let you give nosing
106
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,040
notes while I stick my nose in
this.
107
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,480
I think this is a really
interesting nose.
108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,440
It has a lot of oak on it.
There's a decent amount of
109
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,800
caramel.
And for me, it, it reminds me of
110
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,560
like the like the sour candy
candy apple suckers that have
111
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,480
like caramel on the outside, but
then it's, you know, the, the
112
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,080
sour apple on the inside it, it
kind of reminds me of one of
113
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,760
those.
I like this there man.
114
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,720
There's like 1 little funky note
in there that I can't quite put
115
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
my finger on.
And at first it was like, maybe
116
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,440
this is dill and then it tipped
into like maybe it's because I
117
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,440
like to, I like to pair dips
because I'm in the Midwest.
118
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,120
My wife makes like a pickle dip
sometimes and I, I associate it
119
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,760
with like potato chips.
OK, we we get it, Brad.
120
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,040
Pickle dip.
Do you not like Pickles?
121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Pickles are one of the most
disgusting things humans have
122
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,720
ever.
Created you you have the palette
123
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,400
of a.
Child that is not true First
124
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,320
off.
Second off, Pickles are gross
125
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,800
man and the like the if the
juice touches any part of the
126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,880
burger bun the entire thing is
infected and it your.
127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Ability to derail my main point
by latching onto 1.
128
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Of my minor points is pickle
dip.
129
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,000
OK, so like, dill reminds me of
Pickles.
130
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Sue me, I'm sorry.
Like dill Pickles are the most
131
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,840
popular kind of Pickles.
Yeah, but but in any case.
132
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,200
I'm like, who?
Who makes it?
133
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,400
Is it dill or is it like oniony?
There's this weird savory, kind
134
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,320
of like, I don't know how to
describe it except like there's
135
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,640
like a ranch dressing note going
on in here somewhere and I'm
136
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,520
getting weird wafts of it in
between, like these nice waves
137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,800
of oak and brown sugar and
caramel I don't know what to
138
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,400
make of.
It dude, does your wife make
139
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,440
onion dip as well?
Probably I'm not.
140
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,120
I'm not a big raw onion eater.
I like caramelized onions, but I
141
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,880
can't bite into a raw onion.
I like a good red onion on a
142
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,640
burger, but white onions?
Yellow onions raw, Not so much,
143
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,840
man.
Do you know where I don't like
144
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120
onions on your whiskey?
Yeah.
145
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,920
So it's I'm going to be a little
bit muted on this because I
146
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,800
don't know where this is going.
I'm going to give it a 7 out of
147
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,080
10 on the nose, Brad.
I I'm actually with you, I'm at
148
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,080
a 7 out of 10 and the funkiness
that I was picking up, I think
149
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,440
you're right.
It's an onion vibe that I don't
150
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,720
know.
It's not in the, it's not in the
151
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240
realm of vegetal like a like a
Scotch might be.
152
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,880
It's just, I don't know.
It's interesting the the palette
153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,840
on this doesn't stray too far
from the nose.
154
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,240
It is oaky.
There's like Sour Patch Kids
155
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,559
kind of vibe going on.
The funk kind of sticks around.
156
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,520
I don't know if it stays as
Onion, but there's just a
157
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,960
there's a weird vibe to this
that I'm not totally jiving
158
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,720
with.
Dude, do you know what it has?
159
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,880
What's it got?
It's got the will it funk.
160
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,200
It's this is like, you can set
this down next to some Noah's
161
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,680
Mill.
Then I'd be like, Oh yeah, this
162
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:55,760
is totally made by Willet.
It's got that like that weird
163
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,520
funky dusty note paired with
some floral like on on Noah's
164
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,720
Mill.
For me, it's always rose.
165
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,240
This has that.
And I will say like for being
166
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,000
107 proof, there's really not
much prickliness on the palate.
167
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,520
It's a very muted kind of
warmth, almost like if you are
168
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,720
drinking like a Coca-Cola and
you leave it sitting out and
169
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,320
then it goes flat.
It almost has like a flat
170
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,560
whiskey vibe.
And I don't mean to say that it
171
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,520
has no flavor.
It just doesn't have that sort
172
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,960
of like alcohol prickliness that
you typically get.
173
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Now, the flavor itself, I I'm
going to differ from you, Brad.
174
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,440
I think this is fantastic.
It's super rich, really, really
175
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,480
syrupy.
You said Sour Patch Kids.
176
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,160
It does remind me of like when
you suck all the sour off of the
177
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,400
red ones and you're basically
left with like Swedish Fish at
178
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,120
that point.
It's got that like cherry candy
179
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,360
syrup vibe to it with a nice
undercurrent of oak.
180
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,520
I like this quite a bit.
I'm going to give it a nine out
181
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,520
of 10 on the palate.
Dude, you're just naming all the
182
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,400
things I hate.
Swedish Fish.
183
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,440
One of the worst candies ever
made.
184
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Do you just hate the Swedes?
Maybe that's what it is.
185
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,880
That might be it.
You don't like IKEA, you don't
186
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,720
like sweetest fish.
That's true.
187
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,560
I do like a good horse meat
meatball though.
188
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,840
Get down with that.
Sure, but not a dill pickle
189
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120
Horse dill pickle.
Good.
190
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,280
Two thumbs up.
I'll give it a 7 out of 10 on
191
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,560
the pallet.
I really don't care for this
192
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:23,360
that much.
Bob.
193
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,800
It it's yeah.
And I think the finish kind of
194
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,440
continues that for me.
It falls into like a cherry
195
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:38,360
cough syrup oak vibe that is
just kind of not quite bitter,
196
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,840
but it's just kind of this like
type of a finish.
197
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,440
I don't know if that's a good,
good auditory example of how I
198
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,520
feel about it, but I'll give it
a six out of 10 on the finish.
199
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,720
I like this.
Starts in kind of a weird place
200
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,640
that it dips into a meh kind of
place.
201
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Yeah, I don't know how to sell
this because I do like it.
202
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
But like all of my tasting
notes, if you read them, you'd
203
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
be like, that sounds kind of
gross because it's it's that
204
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,680
combo of like savory and sweet,
almost like at at Thanksgiving
205
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,760
when people will sometimes put
the cranberry sauce directly on
206
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,200
their like Turkey.
And so you get the combo of like
207
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,160
meatiness and fruit.
Like this is cherry and almost
208
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,560
wheat weeded bourbon notes
coupled with this kind of like
209
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,040
beef consomme French onion soup
note.
210
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,600
And I like, I don't know how to
explain that sort of salty
211
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,680
savoriness that goes with the
cherry.
212
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,360
It does work for me.
But if that sounds super gross
213
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,080
to you, I can totally understand
why.
214
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,640
On the finish, I'm going to give
it an 8 out of 10.
215
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,560
It is a little less long lasting
than I would like it to be.
216
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,280
It's kind of short for a 107
proof whiskey.
217
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,120
But overall, I think the flavors
that are left behind are pretty
218
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,400
complex and I do like them.
So I'm at an 8 out of 10 here,
219
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,440
Brad.
I'm at a six out of 10 on the
220
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,160
finish and I think balance wise
I'm at a four out of 10 Bob, I
221
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,720
think.
I think that this just nothing
222
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,800
works.
All the flavors are kind of
223
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,240
discordant and they don't create
a great experience.
224
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,240
I'm at a four out of 10 man.
This one is not working for me.
225
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,080
I I get it.
This one definitely feels like
226
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,880
the biggest experiment we've
gotten from Bardstown in a
227
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,520
while.
And I don't mean that in in that
228
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,160
like it's the most ambitious
one.
229
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,240
I think that's probably the
Cathedral French Oak, which is
230
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,440
one of the best whiskeys we've
ever had on this podcast.
231
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,800
Yes, this is an experiment in
that it's like a big swing and I
232
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,080
have a feeling that for a lot of
people it's going to be a swing
233
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,880
and a miss.
Now I mention the Cathedral
234
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,280
French Oak because this is part
of the same series, this
235
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,640
distillery series that they only
sell in these 375 ML bottles and
236
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,720
you can only get them from the
distillery unless you are
237
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,560
shopping from a trusted retailer
online.
238
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:55,040
Now, I believe the MSRP on this.
Brad, did you have it pulled up?
239
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:02,920
It is $99.00 for the 375.
So I think for for our audience,
240
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,520
we're just going to call this a
$200 bottle of whiskey.
241
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,120
Well, and as with most of the
distillery Reserve stuff, if it
242
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,760
sells as fast as those other
ones have, it's going to be $200
243
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,240
plus just for the 375.
So we'll take it at the MSRP
244
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,520
value, but you're probably going
to have to spend more than that
245
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,520
to try this.
I don't think this is bad, but I
246
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,920
wouldn't call it the top tier of
the Distillery Reserve series
247
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,600
yet.
I'm going to give it a 6.5 on
248
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,840
value Brad.
Yeah, if I'm thinking about this
249
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,560
as a $200 bottle of, you know,
750 bottle of whiskey, this is
250
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:41,840
like a four out of 10 man.
It it's, it's not working in the
251
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,480
vein that I want it to.
And I hate to say it, but like,
252
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,440
I drank this the other day with
a buddy of mine and we tried it
253
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,160
and we were like, huh, that's
really interesting.
254
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,440
And then we drank like a
somewhat cheap bottle of Scotch
255
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,560
and we're like, this is I would
rather drink this any day of the
256
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:04,440
week.
Wow.
257
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,480
So I'm I'm kind of in a place
where I'm out on this one now.
258
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,560
I will I will caveat this, as
always, I love Bart sound
259
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,080
bourbon company.
I think they make incredible
260
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,240
whiskeys that cathedral finishes
one of the best whiskeys I've
261
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,840
ever had.
Their discovery stuff is really
262
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,600
good.
I like across the board, I love
263
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,360
Bardstown.
This is just one of those
264
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,960
experiments that I don't quite
vibe with.
265
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,200
Yeah.
And I realized I did not give my
266
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,200
overall balance score.
I'm going to call that a 7.5,
267
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,600
which brings me out to a 38 out
of 50.
268
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,880
Brad, I have a feeling you're
going to be significantly lower
269
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,120
than that.
Where are you at on this one?
270
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,080
I'm at a 28 out of 50.
Wow.
271
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,560
All right.
So that's taking us to just a 66
272
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,040
out of 100 or a 33 out of 50.
Now, you know, even though you
273
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,960
gave it a low score, I kind of
like the 33 out of 50 mark
274
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,560
because it is like just a touch
below where we start
275
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,080
recommending a whiskey.
And I think that like
276
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,200
thematically that makes a lot of
sense because I recommend it,
277
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,680
you don't.
And we both acknowledge it's
278
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,320
going to be very iffy on if
people get down with this one or
279
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,280
not.
So I think that 33 out of 50
280
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,080
kind of speaks for itself about
the divisiveness I'm going to
281
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,160
see in this one.
Yeah, yeah, I I think that once
282
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,520
again, bar sound makes great
whiskey and that's the beauty.
283
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,640
They they experiment and they
try new things.
284
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:32,360
And this is a a limited release.
If you want to try something
285
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,800
from them, just wait for the
next one.
286
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,040
It's that's probably going to be
incredible.
287
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,120
All right, the whiskey has been
gotten out of the way and that
288
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,400
means that it is time for us to
dive into this bracket.
289
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,760
Now, we only have 3 total match
ups today, Brad, so I think we
290
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,760
can talk a little bit more in
depth about our thoughts on each
291
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,840
movie and the match ups in
general.
292
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,880
But let let me cue my dramatic
sound here.
293
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,040
It's time to get into the
bracket.
294
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,040
Brad, can you walk us through
the first match up in our final
295
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,760
four films?
Yeah, we have 1977 Star Wars, a
296
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:14,160
film that is beloved for one of
us and misunderstood by the
297
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,560
other.
We have 1954's Rear Window,
298
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,400
which is one of Hitchcock's
greatest films.
299
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,280
I would say that it almost gets
lost, though, in the breadth of
300
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,280
films that Hitchcock has made.
And so I'm glad that it is here
301
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,360
representing because I like, I
still think that this might be,
302
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,520
I don't know, is it his best
movie?
303
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,480
It's this or Vertigo for me, and
maybe that's a good starting
304
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,680
point.
So I subscribe to this
305
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,680
newsletter called The Reveal and
it's 2 movie critics that are
306
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,840
working through a countdown of
the top 100 films in the Sight
307
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,760
and Sound list that came out a
couple years ago.
308
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,720
And they have a very long back
and forth.
309
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,800
Like they're basically they're
like corresponding with each
310
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,440
other.
And one of them will like ask a
311
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,520
question about the movie and the
other one will respond.
312
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:09,440
And a couple weeks ago, they
landed on North by Northwest and
313
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,880
they were both very surprised
that it would be in the Sight
314
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,560
and Sound poll, not because it's
a great movie, but because
315
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,560
especially that international
crowd that votes on that award
316
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,119
really tend to like high art
movies.
317
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,000
And so they're like, you know,
if any movie really encapsulates
318
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,440
Hitchcock's kind of Hollywood
entertainer vibes, it's North by
319
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Northwest.
Yeah.
320
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,960
And so they both had to kind of
reckon with, like, do I have
321
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,760
implicit bias for movies that
feel more artsy or feel more
322
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,640
weighty?
And have I been ignoring North
323
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,880
by Northwest's place on this
list?
324
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,200
And I think that they both kind
of referenced Rear Window as a
325
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,520
movie that I could see that
being on the list even before
326
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,960
North by Northwest, because at
least you have kind of the
327
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,600
technical craft of being
confined to a space and and
328
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,640
seeing how the camera is
utilized in that space.
329
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,440
But I think a lot of that still
applies to Rear Window where
330
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,240
Vertigo has been kind of fawned
over critically the last 20
331
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,720
years.
And Rear Window is always like,
332
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,760
Yep.
And that's one step below
333
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,280
Vertigo for me.
And the more I watch Rear
334
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,640
Window, the more I'm like, it's
a different kind of movie, but
335
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,520
it is every bit the equal of
Vertigo.
336
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,960
And it's really similar to like
when we watched The Apartment,
337
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,520
which is my favorite Billy
Wilder movie, and then we
338
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,840
rewatched some Like It Hot.
And it's like, OK, it's a
339
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,360
different kind of movie, but you
can't tell me that it is any
340
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:39,120
less the equal of The Apartment.
I really think that in the
341
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:45,480
absence of Vertigo here, Rear
Window and 12 Angry Men are the
342
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,800
closest things we have to two
perfect movies.
343
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,640
However you want to describe
that both in the effect they
344
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,880
have and in the sort of like
clockwork precision with which
345
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,520
they move.
And so I guess that would be my
346
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,920
opening argument as to why I'm
just a no brainer going to take
347
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,520
Rear window in this debate.
Yeah, I was.
348
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,280
I was wondering where this
monologue was going.
349
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,440
Bob I I should have known.
You should have known, man,
350
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,320
that.
You were just.
351
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,880
A monologue, though, you got to
admit.
352
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:19,360
It was a great monologue, Bob, I
think, I think Rear Window is a
353
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,120
a perfect movie, nearly a
perfect movie.
354
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,440
The the ability that he has to
help you feel claustrophobic and
355
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:33,480
yet like open, like you feel
like you're included in this New
356
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,080
York courtyard that you kind of
have a life here with the
357
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,240
people, even as Jimmy Stewart
is, you know, wheelchair bound
358
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,760
for the duration of the film.
It it's so much craft and story
359
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,720
and it's compelling.
I like I'm with you on rear
360
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,520
window man It's incredible.
I do think that I was, I was
361
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,040
listening to you and I was like
feeling myself like, yeah, Rear
362
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Window, man, it's incredible.
And then in my head I was like,
363
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,640
what?
What makes Star Wars, Star Wars?
364
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,000
And I just heard the opening
theme and my heart just leapt
365
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
with joy.
And I'm like, Rear Window can't
366
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,520
make, can't do that, can't just
think about the soundtrack from
367
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,720
Rear Window.
And I have an emotional
368
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,360
response.
I I think that there's something
369
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:26,920
to be said for a movie that.
Absolutely set the stage for
370
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:33,400
what an epic movie could be for
the rest of cinematic history, I
371
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,920
think.
I think Star Wars still holds
372
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,800
itself high.
It was my #2 vibe choice and for
373
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,440
a reason.
I I think Star Wars is going to
374
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,840
be my pick here, Bob.
Dude, I went back and listened
375
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,280
to our last episode, obviously,
because I had to edit it.
376
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,760
But you were like, Vertigo's
moving on.
377
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,560
And then I made the stupid
decision of saying like, huh?
378
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,280
Do you feel, do you feel
pressured to do that?
379
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,760
And then you were like, screw
you, Star Wars is moving on.
380
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,840
And it was that I wasn't even
trying to rile you up.
381
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,880
I was really asking you a
genuine question.
382
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,120
And you immediately flipped to
Star Wars.
383
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,360
Yep.
And I just need you to know that
384
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:15,880
you ruined everything.
You have ruined everything,
385
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,440
Brad, because I just know that
we're going to end up with
386
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,440
back-to-back to back coin flips
here and Star Wars is going to
387
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,840
come out the champion of this
season against my will.
388
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,000
And it's it'll be forever.
To your shame, I mean.
389
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,360
If it makes me feel.
Better like Pulp Fiction won our
390
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:33,080
first time around for this
season.
391
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,760
That's true.
So the a very was your.
392
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,240
Number one pick for for the
vibes list here too.
393
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,560
It was.
And I will say, if we're just
394
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,480
comparing scores, like Star Wars
runs away with it both because I
395
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920
don't really remember much of
the actual score from your
396
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,760
window and because once you get
into the movie, there is no more
397
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,160
score.
Like, it's just diegetic music.
398
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,640
So, like, John Williams wins by
default, but also because it's
399
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,040
one of the best movie scores
ever written, you know, ever
400
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
written.
Yeah, I like it.
401
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,400
Also, it elevates what I
perceive to be a a kind of
402
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,000
middling movie to the heights of
like, pretty good.
403
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Yeah, but.
But can a great score cover a
404
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,360
multitude of sins is the real
question before us, Brad, that
405
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,240
means that we have to flip the
coin of Destiny now, as we've
406
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,240
established the coin of Destiny.
He he has a slight lean to him,
407
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,720
Brad, as you described it last
episode, a slight lean towards
408
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,440
heads, right?
It seems to be the case.
409
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,760
Yeah, and I guess that means
that Rear Window is heads
410
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,680
because it is the higher ranked
film among the two.
411
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,960
So Rear Window will be heads,
Star Wars will be tails for a
412
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,240
spot in our championship.
Brad, flip that coin.
413
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,640
Bob, I hate to tell you know it
just it brings me a lot of joy
414
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,440
to see you sad it also, you
know, it hurts my soul a little
415
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,800
bit.
I've known you for a long time,
416
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,080
but we have another tales coming
up for my boy Star Wars.
417
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,000
I hate you so much dude.
This is this is an outrage.
418
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,320
The highest the number 16 film
has ever gone in our bracket,
419
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Bob.
Yeah, and it's just because
420
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,960
you've manipulated things.
Manipulated a strong word.
421
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Is in here man.
I stand by my vibes list,
422
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Robert.
I am fairly certain that we've
423
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,040
had like 9 tails in a row now
too, which does not bode well
424
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,200
because if there's a coin flip
in the championship, Star Wars
425
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,680
is automatically the tails in
that match up too.
426
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,480
So I'm preparing myself to be
heartbroken at the end of this
427
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,920
episode, and it's all Brad's
doing.
428
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,840
And I think that that is a
perfect segue into the Brad G
429
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,080
Awards.
Every season, Brad just makes up
430
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,800
a couple awards that he wants to
give out.
431
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,320
Sure, there's a lot of times
he's watching these movies for
432
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,440
the first time, and there's
certain things that stick with
433
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,000
him throughout the season that I
would just never think about.
434
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,480
And then he gives it an award at
the end of the year.
435
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,320
So, Brad, I know that you've
been hard at work on these
436
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,040
awards, so I'm gonna turn it
over to you to present the Brad
437
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,320
G Awards.
You know, Bob, before we started
438
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,000
this podcast, we, we're
discussing, you know, what we
439
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,120
would want to talk about and how
we would want to do it.
440
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,720
And we kind of landed on this
idea of movies in whiskey.
441
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,240
And we said, you know, let's,
let's do a test episode and just
442
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,760
just see what it's like.
What?
443
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,400
What movie did we choose for our
test?
444
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,280
Episode Bob, Brad.
We chose the eternal classic
445
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,000
Anchorman, the legend of Ron
Burgundy.
446
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,800
In the spirit of Anchorman, The
Legend of Ron Burgundy, I have
447
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,000
three awards to give out today.
The first of which being the
448
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,760
that That Escalated Quickly
Award, which is the movie that
449
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,200
took the hardest left turn.
We have The Milk was a Bad
450
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,400
Choice Award, which is the movie
that has aged the worst, and we
451
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,240
have the 60% of the time it
works every Time award, which is
452
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,960
for the movie that shouldn't
really work, but man, it just
453
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,280
does.
I'm really glad that you didn't
454
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,680
pivot towards you are a smelly
pirate hooker for Brad's least
455
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,840
favorite female character.
That that'd be hard to sell, you
456
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,600
know that.
'D be a tough one, man.
457
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,520
Oh man.
All right.
458
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,480
I'd love to hear the the
winners.
459
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,400
Do you have a nominees list or
is it just one film for each?
460
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,880
I, I honestly am open to
whatever we decide, so let's go
461
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,360
to that.
That escalated quickly.
462
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,960
I do have a nominee that I would
like to argue for for the movie
463
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,880
that took the highest left turn,
and it has more to do with how I
464
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,920
watched the film.
I would give this award to
465
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:03,360
sinners given the fact that I
stopped watching it right before
466
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:07,440
the vampires came on screen.
Like I mean.
467
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,600
You did.
I hit play a few days after I
468
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,960
paused it and literally the next
thing I saw was him jumping over
469
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,880
the camera and like landing on
the field in front of the
470
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,160
farmhouse.
So for me, I think the hardest
471
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,200
left turn was sinners.
I'll give a couple nominees just
472
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,840
to scanning our list of movies
from the year, Inglourious
473
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,320
Basterds, when they actually
start blowing up and burning
474
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,280
down the theater and then you
just see Hitler's face getting
475
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,080
blown apart with a machine gun.
That escalated quickly.
476
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:44,640
It did $1,000,000, baby, the
worst placed stool in history is
477
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,680
all I have to say there.
That really that took a hard
478
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,240
left turn.
And then I suppose you could do
479
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,960
at least four different moments
from Pulp Fiction.
480
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,040
You could you could do the GIMP.
You could do Mia with the
481
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,480
heroin.
You could do, oh man, I shot
482
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,840
Marvin in the face.
There's a lot of moments that
483
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,120
escalate very quickly in Pulp
Fiction, Brett.
484
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:13,520
I man of these four options, I
think it like let's just assume
485
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,360
that we are watching these
movies with absolutely no
486
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,920
knowledge of the film going in.
I feel like $1,000,000 baby
487
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,560
would be the hardest left turn
'cause you like that is so far
488
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,280
and away not what the movie is
about.
489
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,200
Like he, like Clint, has lulled
you into this sense of Ron
490
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,440
Howard.
Miss that.
491
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,000
You're like, yeah, this is just
like, you know, an Apollo 13.
492
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:43,000
Yeah, it's, you know, it's just
like this Cinderella Man type of
493
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,960
movie.
And then it's not.
494
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,560
So I I think that's my vote.
Where are you at, Bob?
495
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,920
I think I'm in the same place.
You know, Pulp Fiction may have
496
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,560
like crazier left turns, but the
fact that every story is
497
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,480
designed to take that left turn,
you come to expect it a little
498
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,360
bit, $1,000,000 baby.
Truly catches you off guard man.
499
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,520
Pulls the legs right out from
under you.
500
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,160
All right, so Paul Haggis and
Clint Eastwood come collect your
501
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,400
That Escalated Quickly award
from Brad G.
502
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,680
All right, our second award is
Milk was a bad choice.
503
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,360
What movie for you?
Bob has aged the worst.
504
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:24,800
Or even maybe not a movie, but
like acting, performance, a line
505
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,800
from a movie.
What's something that has just
506
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,840
aged incredibly poorly?
I think my two it will be no
507
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,160
surprise to anybody listening to
this.
508
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,960
My 2 nominees would either be
Star Wars, which I think has
509
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,560
just truly aged poorly.
Like I just.
510
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,000
The more I watch it the more I'm
like this is this is cheesy, the
511
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,000
effects are bad, the added CGI
in the special editions is
512
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,320
actually aging worse than the
original.
513
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,720
Like miniature work.
That one aged pretty badly and
514
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,040
then I.
Wouldn't disagree with you on
515
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,200
that.
Yeah, man, I think my second one
516
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080
would be Fight Club, which is a
movie that just has never worked
517
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,640
for me.
And I think the farther we get
518
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,360
from it, the more we can
understand why people
519
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,600
misunderstood it and how it
captured a generation of Gen.
520
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,240
X Bros.
That's those are my 2 nominees.
521
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400
I guess you know my nominee is
singing in the rain because
522
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,240
nobody likes singing.
Anymore.
523
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,960
Clearly it's singing in the
rain, dude.
524
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,440
All right, What are you
thinking, man?
525
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,120
I.
I mean, I'm proud of neither of
526
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,960
us for saying American Beauty,
because I feel like that or
527
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,720
Green Book would be the two that
everybody else would vote for.
528
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,960
That the woke mob would come for
a. 100% man.
529
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,200
I don't.
I honestly, I, I've made this
530
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,560
award and then I'm looking
through it and I'm like, you
531
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,080
know, I don't, I don't know if
any have aged extremely poorly
532
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,600
for me.
I, you know what?
533
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,600
I will give the award to 1
Battle after another because
534
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,160
it's aged pretty poorly since it
came out six months ago.
535
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,680
Now, 10 seconds, if you have to
think about this longer than 10
536
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,920
seconds, we'll just move on.
But milk was a bad choice could
537
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,960
be the the circumstances under
which you watched the movie.
538
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,320
So like it was a bad choice for
me to start watching The
539
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,320
Assassination of Jesse James at
11:30 at night or something like
540
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,400
that.
So is there any anything in this
541
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,960
list that you're like, it was a
bad choice for me to watch this
542
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,320
movie on this day or at this
time?
543
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,280
Not one that.
Not one that comes up for me
544
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,120
right off the hat.
I I would say Shawshank
545
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,080
Redemption.
I remember watching Shawshank at
546
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:48,200
like 5:00 in the morning for
that episode and being like like
547
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,360
this is pretty dour start to the
day.
548
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,400
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, that, that was a little
549
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,080
rough, even as enjoyable of a
film as it is.
550
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,520
All right, well, we'll give it
to 1 battle after another,
551
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,480
because that's the spiciest take
I've heard yet today.
552
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,640
So, Paul Thomas Anderson, on
your way back from the Oscars,
553
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,200
stop by Brad's house.
All.
554
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,160
Right.
And that leaves us with just one
555
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,560
Anchorman Award left to give.
It is the 60% of the time it
556
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,880
works every time and it's the
movie that shouldn't work but
557
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,000
just does.
And I, I think there's a few
558
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,160
options for this award.
I think Cinderella Man could
559
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,480
could fit that.
You just have a lot of things
560
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,880
going on that make it seem like
it shouldn't be great.
561
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,800
And yet for you and I, it
transcends all that.
562
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,040
But I am going to go with a
movie that if I just described
563
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:42,280
the plot to you in 20252026, you
would say Brad never make that
564
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,520
film.
And it's a movie where a man
565
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:51,320
with a mental handicap goes on a
journey across Americana and
566
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,120
experiences all of the most
important events of the 60s and
567
00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:01,720
70's the entire while pursuing a
woman who does not want him,
568
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,040
uses him, and gets AIDS and
dies.
569
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,080
Yeah.
I think that's a movie that
570
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,800
shouldn't work, but man oh man
does it work so incredibly well.
571
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,080
And that movie is called Singing
in the Rain.
572
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,720
That's right.
Yeah.
573
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,880
I think that Forrest Gump is a
good nominee here, for sure,
574
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480
because you're right, the pitch
meeting on that one has to be
575
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,120
absolutely wild.
But the extent to which it works
576
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,720
is also up for debate.
I think that that's a good
577
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,640
movie.
I think my nominee here would
578
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,080
probably be Green Book, a movie
that did come out in this
579
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,720
political climate and did meet a
whole bunch of resistance
580
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,000
because of it.
And despite all of the very
581
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,040
valid criticisms of Green Book,
damn good movie.
582
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,400
I yeah, I get misty at the end
of that, but I don't know what
583
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,760
to tell you, man.
I think it works.
584
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,640
So that's my nominee.
I'm with you man, I think Green
585
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,600
Book is a great choice for this
award.
586
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:01,320
All right, what are we?
Are we giving?
587
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,000
It's a Green Book or it's a
Forrest Gump.
588
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,520
I I think Green Book is the
choice.
589
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,560
That's a good one.
Nice.
590
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,360
All right, Peter Farrelly, I
don't know what the hell you're
591
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,680
doing these days, but you can
come.
592
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,520
You probably actually do have
the time to come to Brad's house
593
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,760
and collect your work for 60% of
the time.
594
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,960
Brad.
What a fantastic Brad G awards
595
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,080
list that was.
I like it.
596
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,560
Thank you very much, Sir.
All right, man, let's get back
597
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,920
into the bracket.
We have the match up on the
598
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,600
right side of the bracket.
I'll turn it over to you for the
599
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,400
intros.
Brad.
600
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:37,160
Yeah, we are looking at Sidney
Lumet's absolute classic The
601
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:43,640
195712 Angry Men versus 1 of
Bob's all time favorites
602
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,920
recently dethroned.
He does not love this movie
603
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:54,280
anymore. 1942's Casablanca.
Bob, let me just tell you what
604
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,360
happened to you or let me ask
you what what happened to you,
605
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,080
Man, you have been a ardent
Casablanca defender.
606
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,240
I walked away from our last
episode shook.
607
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,520
Yeah, I don't know if it's just
because for so long it was my
608
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,400
default answer for what's your
favorite movie of all time?
609
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,199
And that the older I get, the
more I've realized like maybe
610
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:18,760
it's Jurassic Park, maybe it's
ET and Casablanca is still up
611
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,480
there for me, but it may not be
my favorite anymore.
612
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,840
And so I can I.
Can I just tell you I was having
613
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,239
a meter with a, a meeting with a
donor last week and he was
614
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,199
trying, he said something about
like, we're talking about movies
615
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:35,000
and he says something or I'm
like, yeah, you know, it's
616
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,679
movies that are like just fine.
And they're kind of fun to watch
617
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:39,800
every once in a while, you know,
like Jurassic Park.
618
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:44,560
I I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa.
619
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,360
Your.
Money anymore?
620
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,840
I literally went off about
Jurassic Park for like 10
621
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,560
minutes.
That was you should dude that
622
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,560
that guy's not giving any more.
Money literally at the end.
623
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,000
Of it, he goes like, Brad, why
did we lose our biggest donor?
624
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,080
You're like, don't worry about
it.
625
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,720
It was incredible.
Oh, man, yeah, forget that guy.
626
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,920
All right, so we're talking
about Casablanca, though, And I
627
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,680
do think that there are some
small flaws with Casablanca.
628
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,440
It is about as perfect of a
script as you can possibly get,
629
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,840
but I do think it hits a little
bit of a lull in the middle.
630
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,680
Now, 12 Angry Men is a movie
that we have both said multiple
631
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,640
times is as close to perfect as
you can get in what is
632
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,240
essentially a 90 minute film.
I believe in the episode we said
633
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:33,960
that there were 300 different
camera setups across that movie,
634
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,680
which is just staggering.
And it, you know, when you think
635
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,480
about the fact that it's Sidney
Lumet's first feature film, it's
636
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,800
like, how how could you do
better than that?
637
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:47,960
I think if we're looking at the
IMDb scores, 12 Angry Men does
638
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,920
rank higher than Casablanca at
this point.
639
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,880
It's in the top ten, maybe the
top five on IMDb.
640
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,560
Now, again, this is our list, so
we can do whatever the hell we
641
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,360
want.
I'm really torn, man.
642
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,040
I think my heart still says
Casablanca 'cause I I could
643
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,040
never throw Ingrid Bergman and
her beautiful face into the
644
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,880
fiery abyss.
Yeah.
645
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,600
But I think if we're just
talking about like, the
646
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,480
mechanics of a movie, 12 Angry
Men might barely edge out
647
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,200
Casablanca.
So where are you at on this one?
648
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:25,520
Yeah, I mean, Casablanca is #47
on the IMDb top two, 5012 Angry
649
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,200
Men is number 5.
Wow.
650
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,240
It is one of the very few films
with a nine point O aggregate
651
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:37,080
score, which is, which is really
wild.
652
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:43,600
And I, I think it does speak to
what happens when you take a
653
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:49,080
really beautiful script, you
tighten it up and you, you put
654
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,760
them in this claustrophobic room
and you have like, I think
655
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,400
there's a version of this movie
where like they take it and they
656
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,680
do a Warner and like just follow
everybody around.
657
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,760
And you know, because it's in
one room, it feels very
658
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,040
contained.
But I think the choice to go on
659
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,640
the far opposite end of the
scale and use as many different
660
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,440
takes of the exact same room as
possible, it really works for a
661
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,280
film that is trying to establish
how viewpoints can change when
662
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,720
you add more information.
And so I, I, I think I'm going
663
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:23,520
to vote for 12 Angry Men on this
one, Bob.
664
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,440
Wow.
I think that's the only thing
665
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,960
for me to do then is to say
Casablanca because I'm so close
666
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,080
on these movies.
Who's an agent of chaos now?
667
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Robert, I think I was going to
vote for Casablanca anyway, but
668
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,280
it it seems more poetic now to
force the coin flip.
669
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,000
Yeah, man, it's really hard to
say Casablanca should go in the
670
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000
abyss because if if your
argument for Star Wars is like,
671
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,640
I can't think of a movie that
influenced cinema more,
672
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,800
Casablanca is top five on that
list for sure.
673
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,040
Like, it's it's freaking
Casablanca, dude.
674
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,200
What?
What else can you do?
675
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,720
I think that we're going to do a
coin flip.
676
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,160
And what does that mean in terms
of the seating 12?
677
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,120
Angry Men is the two seed.
Casablanca is the three.
678
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,520
So Casablanca is in the
privileged position of tails
679
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,920
here, Brad, for a spot in the
championship.
680
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:26,520
Flip that coin.
Robert, we have set our finals.
681
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:32,200
We are looking at 12 Angry Men
versus Star Wars.
682
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:41,840
Man, no Casablanca, no Vertigo.
I can't believe that I have to
683
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,680
advocate for 12 angry men to win
our bracket now because I just,
684
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,760
There's no way I'm going to
advocate for Star Wars to win
685
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,280
this bracket.
That's that.
686
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,200
Dude.
Well, luckily for you Bob, we
687
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:56,040
have a little bit of time before
we get there because we have our
688
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,680
not quite annual, what would you
call it for an every 32 weeks
689
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,800
seasonal.
We have our seasonal awards that
690
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,560
we're going to be giving out
called The Filmies.
691
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,400
Yeah, these are pretty simple.
It's just really based on how
692
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,800
how do Brad and I appreciate
movies versus the general
693
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,240
population.
And so there's really only three
694
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:21,440
awards.
There's the most overrated film,
695
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,960
the most underrated film, and
then the most divisive film,
696
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,480
which is the film that Brad and
I were the most divided on.
697
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,480
Now, Brad, I have told you dot
to look at a specific tab of our
698
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,680
shared Google Sheet here because
this is where I have it all
699
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,680
listed.
So I would like you to try to
700
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,000
guess.
Let's start with the most
701
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,400
overrated film.
This is the film that had a much
702
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,480
higher rating by the general
population on IMDb versus where
703
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,960
Brad and I landed on it, which
is much lower.
704
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,920
Brad, where would you think we
would be giving out the most
705
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:59,720
overrated film award?
Oh man, I I have to think.
706
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,080
I mean, part of me wonders if
it's sinners or one battle
707
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,320
because I was, you know, I was
pretty low on one battle, but I
708
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,200
don't think the overall IMDb
score for one battle is actually
709
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,600
that high.
Like I want to say it's like a
710
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,520
7.5.
So I I can't imagine it's that
711
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,040
American.
We, we well, sorry, we're going
712
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,320
ones that we scored low and the
population scored high, correct?
713
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,480
Correct.
Yep.
714
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:32,600
OK man, we've just watched so
many great movies this year.
715
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,440
It's really hard to say.
I I'll say Green Book cause
716
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,600
'cause you and I are higher on
Green Book than the average
717
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,480
person, Brad.
You have fallen victim to one of
718
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,160
the classic blunders and what
that is, is that.
719
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,880
Starting a a landlord.
You forget that sometimes one of
720
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,520
us can give a score so low that
it affects our average score
721
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,200
even if one of us likes the
film.
722
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,640
And that is exactly what I did
by tanking our final average on
723
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,160
the film Fight Club, which I
believe has like an 8.8 or
724
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,560
something on IMDb and in our
average it only came out to a
725
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:15,680
6.75.
So we were a full 2 points out
726
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:20,640
of 10 or more lower than the
IMDb score on Fight Club.
727
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,760
Man and I, I think I gave Fight
Club like an 8 1/2 or A9.
728
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,440
Yeah, and I gave it A5, so suck
it my club I don't.
729
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,680
Care.
Yeah, Bob, that's insane, man.
730
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,120
I I honestly was wondering if,
like, the Assassination of Jesse
731
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,480
James by the coward, Robert Ford
might hit that because of me.
732
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,000
I forgot that you occasionally
like to tank things as well.
733
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,600
And The thing is, you came all
the way up to a 6 1/2 out of 10
734
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,120
on The Assassination of Jesse
James, this time where the IMDb
735
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,600
average is only a 7 1/2.
So we really weren't that far
736
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:53,880
off on that one.
Sure.
737
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,720
All right, now let's flip the
script because it's time for us
738
00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:58,880
to talk about the most
underrated film.
739
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,520
This is the film that Brad and I
loved more than the general
740
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,720
population did.
So Brad, as you scan this list,
741
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,080
keep in mind how average scores
work at the end of an episode.
742
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,240
What do you think is the most
underrated film of the crop?
743
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:21,920
Oh man, honestly, I think only
my brain and heart is
744
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,160
immediately drawn towards
Anchorman, the legend of Ron
745
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,400
Burgundy, because I know you and
I just love that movie.
746
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:34,920
And I think we gave it 10 out of
10 just for nostalgia and, you
747
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,720
know, in the world of comedy, I
think it's a perfect comedy.
748
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,480
So I my brain goes towards that,
I think you and I are both still
749
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,200
higher on American Beauty than
the average population.
750
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,920
Green Book would fall into that
category.
751
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:55,440
I think.
I will go ahead and say
752
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,440
Anchorman is my guess.
I like it.
753
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,960
It's a good guess.
It's wrong, but it's a good
754
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,000
guess.
Now I think with this award, a
755
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,720
good rule of thumb to keep in
mind is like if you and I are
756
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:12,720
both giving a movie a 9 1/2 or
A10, we're already separating
757
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:15,640
ourselves from the IMDb score
because the highest ranked movie
758
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,680
there, it has like a 9.1.
So in that case, you and I gave
759
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:26,760
a film A10 and a 9.5 for a 9.75
average that only has I believe
760
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:33,120
a 7.6 on IMDb.
And that film is 1961's West
761
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,400
Side Story.
So we were a full again, we were
762
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,240
over 2 points higher than the
average on West Side Story.
763
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,480
Now, despite your hatred for
musicals, I do think when I see
764
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,960
West Side Story and then 7.6
next to it, I'm like all right
765
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,080
guys, like that seems a little
low.
766
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,600
That that is a little, that is a
little bit low.
767
00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,320
I gave it a 9.5.
I really like West Side Story.
768
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,800
It's not like my jam that I'm
going to turn on once a year,
769
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,840
but to what?
7.6 is pretty low.
770
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,880
Man that that's an absolute
classic.
771
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,440
That's that's a travesty, is
what we call that.
772
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,080
Yeah.
All right, Brad, it's time for
773
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,840
the last Filmy Award.
And that is the most divisive
774
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,440
movie of season 10.
Now.
775
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,720
We actually had surprisingly
more divisive movies than I
776
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:28,120
expected between ones from the
past that one of us hated once
777
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:31,480
from now that we have changed
our tune on, and then also
778
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,640
contemporary films that
definitely did not work for Brad
779
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,640
and only kind of worked for me.
So what is sticking out to you
780
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,200
as the most divisive, Brad?
I mean, I think I gave 1 battle,
781
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,720
A4 or A5 and you gave it an 8, I
want to say, so that that
782
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:53,200
immediately sticks out to me.
I came up on Assassination of
783
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,800
Jesse James by the coward Robert
Ford quite a bit.
784
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,840
I can't think of many other
movies that we were like super
785
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,120
separate on.
I mean Star Wars I gave a pretty
786
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:08,200
high score and you are wrong.
So I'll, I'll go ahead and say
787
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:14,600
Star Wars knowing your lunacy.
Well, once again, Brad, your
788
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,480
memory continues to be faulty
and very short because the most
789
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:24,200
divisive film is very obviously
Fight Club, David Fincher's 1999
790
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:29,040
turd of a movie that I gave a 5
out of 10 to, and you gave an 8
791
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:34,240
1/2 for a full 35% difference on
our scores out of 10.
792
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,320
Yeah, yeah, that movie sucks,
bro.
793
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,120
It's a, it's a, it's not a well
made movie and I don't
794
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,520
understand why people like it.
Bob, Fight Club is a incredibly
795
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,920
well made movie.
It has a very interesting
796
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,200
message and there's a reason
people really like that though.
797
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:53,120
And that message is come pick up
your award for the most divisive
798
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,840
David Fincher.
We'll see you soon, Brad.
799
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,880
We have a championship match up
to get to here.
800
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,160
And I don't know if you had
given us 50 guesses about what
801
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,440
the championship match up could
be that we would land on these
802
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,440
two movies.
Sure.
803
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,360
Yeah.
I, I think that Star Wars is the
804
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,800
dark horse that was always meant
to be.
805
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,560
If I was still a Calvinist, I
would have said, yeah, this is
806
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:25,240
this is as God intended, Bob,
But you have it up against what
807
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:29,680
I think the general population
would say is a true worthy
808
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,040
contender for the throne in 12
Angry Men.
809
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,320
Yeah.
Now, you had the IMDb top 250
810
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,320
pulled up a minute ago.
I'm wondering, you know, if you
811
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,560
still have it up or still have
it handy where Star Wars Episode
812
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,240
4 ranks on that list.
It's got to be top 10 or 15 for
813
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:48,680
sure.
I think I want to say Empire is
814
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,200
more highly rated, but I could
be wrong about that.
815
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,840
Yeah, but we're talking about
two beloved films here.
816
00:46:54,320 --> 00:47:00,720
Yeah, Star Wars Episode 6 is at
93, so still the top 100.
817
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:08,120
Star Wars Episode 5 is at #15
overall with an 8.7 and Star
818
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:13,200
Wars Episode 4 A New Hope is at
#29 with an 8.6.
819
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,320
So it does.
It does make me feel a little
820
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,360
bit justified to say Bob.
This still has an average of an
821
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,600
8.6 on IMDb, which is nothing to
sneeze at.
822
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,760
It is right below Terminator 2
Judgement Day.
823
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,560
There you go, as it should be.
Let's be honest here, Terminator
824
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,880
2 significantly better than Star
Wars episode.
825
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,440
You gave that movie like a nine.
What are you talking about dude?
826
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,480
It's a it's a great movie, man.
I kind of want to go back and
827
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,840
watch that and Aliens again.
Oh dude, so good.
828
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,400
I need you to just tell me
before we start talking about
829
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,680
these movies anymore.
Are you voting Star Wars here?
830
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,360
Yes.
OK, I will give you as much time
831
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,800
as you want to try to convince
me or to try to defend your
832
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,120
choice here.
Why Star Wars over 12 Angry Men
833
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:11,520
specifically?
Man, if there was a movie on
834
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,000
this list to compete with it, I
think it would be Pulp Fiction
835
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:23,400
and 12 Angry Men, because both
movies to me stand out as just
836
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,560
visionary usage of craft.
I think for me though, Star Wars
837
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:33,080
is what stands out when it, when
you look at what they did for
838
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:38,920
film, for the industry in terms
of miniature usage, even in the
839
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:44,320
realm of CGI, like what Lucas
was willing to do to advance the
840
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,080
the world of CGI.
And I like I'm with you, I think
841
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,560
that the special editions from
the late 90s, like the CG
842
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:56,800
doesn't stand up great.
But you wouldn't have any Pixar
843
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:02,320
and like these modern CG marvels
if you don't have Lucas pushing
844
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:07,200
for it with episode 4.
Beyond that, I think that you
845
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:12,360
have a like, you wrap this
classic hero's journey in a
846
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:20,240
inimitably fun and interesting
framework with great actors who
847
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:23,920
I think are doing a great job.
I think Alec Guinness is
848
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:29,600
absolutely wonderful as Obi Wan.
You have Han Solo is like one of
849
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,520
the greatest rogue characters of
all time.
850
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,880
Harrison Ford just starts his
career off with a bang.
851
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,400
And because it goes on to become
one of the highest grossing
852
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,880
actors of all time, there's just
so much about Star Wars that
853
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:49,680
works that it, it continuously
amazes me how much angst you
854
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,480
hold towards Star Wars.
What, what did Star Wars do to
855
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,000
you as a child, Bob?
That's what I'm curious about.
856
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,560
You phrase it as angst, which
and when it's more of just like
857
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,800
I don't think about these.
They just didn't work on me to
858
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,760
that extent.
And I think the clunkiest 1 is
859
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,480
episode 4.
Now, I, I will also, I need to
860
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,000
make you clarify here because
even in your defense of Episode
861
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,120
4, you used the word they a
couple different times to talk
862
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,480
about the Star Wars movies,
plural.
863
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:24,480
And I, I'm wondering the extent
to which you are using Episode 4
864
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,000
as a representative for all of
the Star Wars movies and the
865
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,280
sort of revolution that they
ushered in.
866
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:35,200
Because I only want to focus on
Episode 4 here because I do
867
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,720
think it's clunky.
I think they they really ironed
868
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:42,320
out all the kinks for Episode 5,
which is a much better movie
869
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:46,840
than Episode 4.
And when I look at how clunky I
870
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:51,680
think episode 4 is up against a
movie like 12 Angry Men, This
871
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,160
would be a much more difficult
choice if we were talking about
872
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,800
Empire, but we're just not.
We're only talking about A New
873
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,920
Hope here.
And I get that it kicked it off,
874
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,560
and I get that it ushered it in,
but it is a materially worse
875
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,280
film to me than probably either
of the other two in the original
876
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,280
trilogy.
And I I like the other two.
877
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,280
I I always go back and forth
between 6:00 and 4:00.
878
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:21,160
Which one I like more, I like 5
is the clear best of the films.
879
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:27,240
I would say though, Star Wars
sans the other two, if the other
880
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:30,960
two had never gotten made.
I still think Star Wars stands
881
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,120
up as one of the greatest films
of all time.
882
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:38,640
I think that it struck A chord
with the American public and it
883
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:43,480
would stick around to the public
consciousness even if Lucas went
884
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,560
on to make other movies and do
other projects.
885
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,960
That's a good point.
I there's a part of me that
886
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,040
wonders too, like if that had
happened, how much would it
887
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,600
personally have affected you
though?
888
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,880
Because any movie that you know,
if you look at all the movies
889
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,240
throughout history that broke
the record for highest grossing
890
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:03,480
film of all time, whether it's
Gone with the Wind, Sound of
891
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,240
Music, The Godfather, Jaws, and
then after Star Wars, it becomes
892
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,800
ET and then Titanic.
Those movies all had major
893
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,480
cultural impact in the 10 to 20
years after they came out.
894
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,280
And then as generations come
out, you just have less of an
895
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,440
attachment to those.
And so even a movie like
896
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,200
Titanic, I find myself defending
to people more than I thought I
897
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,640
would have to because that was
very personally affected me as a
898
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,240
as a kid seeing that movie.
And I still think it's like a
899
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:37,040
nearly perfect Hollywood movie,
but there's a distance now that
900
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,360
that young kid, there's no like
Titanic cinematic universe that
901
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,320
is bringing people on as new
converts to that movie The way
902
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,880
that Star Wars is.
And so it's it's hard because as
903
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:52,400
much as we want to mentally
divorce Episode 4 from the rest
904
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,960
of the Star Wars franchise and
universe, you really can't.
905
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,560
Like the prequels got their
hooks in you.
906
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,280
And because the prequels got
their hooks in you, the original
907
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,920
trilogy was able to to get an
audience with you.
908
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,280
No, it was the opposite for me.
I I grew up watching the
909
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,920
originals, Yeah, like in the 90s
before they came out.
910
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,920
I remember seeing the prequels
in theaters.
911
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,360
But I like I got man.
I had the VH s s I had the
912
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:22,240
special edition VH s s original
trilogy, Man got its hooks in
913
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:24,920
me.
Yeah, well, and it's just
914
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,920
frankly better than the prequel
trilogy is.
915
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,360
So like, I'm, I'm good with
that.
916
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,560
But I guess my point still
stands though that it's really
917
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:36,440
hard to divorce one entry in a
franchise from the impact of the
918
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,680
rest of it, especially since
it's now a multi generational.
919
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,160
The only thing that's like that
in the history of movies is like
920
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,400
James Bond where your grandpa
could have been going to see new
921
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,280
James Bond movies and now you
are too.
922
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,120
The MCU hasn't spanned that that
time frame and so it we don't
923
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,400
know if it's going to have the
staying power of some of those
924
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,200
other franchises.
Yeah, Mission Impossible would
925
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:03,760
be close, but, you know, even
that's only 30 years. 30, Yeah.
926
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:04,400
Yeah.
Yep.
927
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,920
So yeah.
All right, Jamie, we've delayed
928
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,680
it long enough.
You're just making the argument
929
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,840
for me, man.
This is Star Wars through and
930
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,200
through.
No, I'm trying to say I think
931
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:19,920
you're lumping 9/10/11 movies
and some TV shows into one
932
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,200
movie.
Bob, do you really?
933
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,320
Think I'm lumping the TV shows
between the Star Wars Holiday
934
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,040
special and everything Disney
has made.
935
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,960
I will say there are some very,
some critics that I really
936
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,800
respect that say that Andor is
the best thing Star Wars has
937
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:42,120
done since like Empire and that
people should be watching it.
938
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,280
And I I've never watched it, but
I might, I might get around to
939
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,360
it.
I'll never get around to it,
940
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,400
mostly because I don't watch TV
anymore.
941
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,280
Well, there you go.
All right, well, on that note,
942
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,600
Brad, we're talking about movies
and we're doing a coin flip.
943
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,280
So Star Wars for sure is Tales
because it's the sixteen seed 12
944
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,720
Angry Men, the objectively
better film.
945
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:06,360
It's going to be heads Brad, for
the championship of season 10.
946
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:16,920
Flip that coin.
Bob, when you started this
947
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,320
season, did you have any idea
that you would have to be
948
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:26,280
playing the John Williams theme
music because Star Wars is our
949
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:43,240
number one film of season 10.
Just before we were recorded, I
950
00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:46,640
took a shower because I want to
look nice on camera, you know?
951
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,880
And as I'm stripping off my
clothing in the bathroom, I
952
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,320
have.
This is AR rated episode.
953
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,000
Yeah, dude, I have YouTube reels
going.
954
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,400
And it was just a clip from an
episode of The Office where
955
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:05,120
Michael Scott is having casino
night, and he asked Toby if the
956
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,120
Boy Scouts are coming to receive
their check.
957
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,240
And Toby's like, no, I didn't
think that'd be a good idea
958
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:13,680
because of the alcohol and the
gambling and because it's school
959
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,320
night and because it's in our
dangerous warehouse and because
960
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,200
Hooters is catering.
And then he says, is that
961
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,600
enough?
Or do you want me to keep going?
962
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:26,080
And Michael just looks at him
that says, why are you the way
963
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,640
that you are?
And then he says, I hate so much
964
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,400
about the things that you choose
to be.
965
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,960
And Brad, I don't know if words
have ever applied more to my
966
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,960
relationship to you in this
moment.
967
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:46,800
You chaos agented your way from
the round of 16 all the way to
968
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,440
the championship via coin flip.
You had to flip the coin every
969
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,480
single time.
There was no good argument made,
970
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,920
and yet you still got your way.
It's infuriating you.
971
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:58,840
Know what I have to say to that,
Bob?
972
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,400
What?
But a BOM, BOM, BOM, BOM, BOM,
973
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:10,120
BOM, BOM.
I hate this.
974
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,360
I hate we're done.
The podcast is over.
975
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,160
This is the last episode.
This is all just a gimmick to
976
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,040
tell you guys that we're done
with the podcast.
977
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,760
We're done.
We're not friends anymore.
978
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,720
Yeah, it's over.
Now Listen, Star Wars, I will
979
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,080
give you your kudos.
You are the season 10 champion
980
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,800
in at least one of our hearts.
And Brad, on that note, I think
981
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,760
the only thing left to do is to
very quickly walk through our
982
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,600
top five whiskeys of the season,
which were definitely something
983
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,080
that we had more of a consensus
on.
984
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,480
I'll go really quickly through
these because we've already
985
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,200
tried these whiskeys multiple
times and three of our five are
986
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,000
from maybe our favorite
distillery in the world and that
987
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,800
is Glenn Moringy at #5 We had
the Glenn Moringy 10 at #4 the
988
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:04,360
Glenn Moringy Nectar #3 is the
Glen Moringy Quinta Rubin 12
989
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:08,880
year, which I immediately was
like, oh, that's going to be #1
990
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,480
No, it was only #3 and it was
defeated by two whiskeys that we
991
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,200
tried for the first time this
season.
992
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,880
The number 2 was the Jack
Daniels twice barreled American
993
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:23,200
single malts that we tried,
which came out to a 44.25 out of
994
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:27,040
50.
And at #1 the Pursuit United
995
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:31,640
Triple Mash Rye, which I'm super
happy to say is #1 because we
996
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,320
love those guys at Pursuit
United.
997
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:38,360
And I, I respected the swing of
them sending us that sample with
998
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,160
a note that said we think this
is the best whiskey of the year.
999
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,760
And then they were right.
It was the best whiskey we had
1000
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,120
this season.
And that was like it.
1001
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,000
That was the only sentence in
the letter.
1002
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,360
It was like, it was like.
We think this is the best
1003
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,680
whiskey ever made by human
hands.
1004
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,360
Cheers.
I was like, all right, call your
1005
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:55,640
shot, man.
Good job, Kenny.
1006
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,560
The balls on these guys, yeah,
couldn't believe it, man, but
1007
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,200
they were right.
And so we have our ultimate
1008
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,280
pairing of film and whiskey for
season 10, our champion Star
1009
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:09,720
Wars, A New Hope and Pursuit
United Triple Mash Rye.
1010
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,920
And that is our final.
Let's make it a double for
1011
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,680
season #10 Brad, it's time for
us to get out of here for the
1012
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,240
day.
It's been almost an hour like
1013
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,120
you said it would be.
I want to turn it over to you
1014
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,360
just for 30 seconds.
Final thoughts on Season 10 and
1015
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,320
what you're looking forward to
in season #11?
1016
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:33,000
You know, I, I found myself as
we went through this season, so
1017
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,520
glad that we took the time to
like review a whole season.
1018
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,600
I don't think we'll ever do it
again, but I think it was
1019
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,320
worthwhile.
And I think Season 1, we had no
1020
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,160
idea what we were getting into
before we started.
1021
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:52,560
Man, oh man, we started with a
heck of a group of 32.
1022
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:59,080
Especially when you think that
we took Goodfellas out of this.
1023
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,560
What were the other two movies
that we had already reviewed?
1024
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,440
Yeah, I can't remember.
There's a couple of them though.
1025
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,280
Yeah, we just had a a really
great grouping of movies and
1026
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,800
it's been so much fun, man.
You said that this took an hour,
1027
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:17,040
but in all reality, Bob, this
has taken seven years.
1028
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:23,160
Like we have built up to this
since 2019 when we put out a
1029
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,160
preview episode of Anchorman,
The Legend of Ron Burgundy that
1030
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,160
sounded like it was recorded in
a barn.
1031
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,880
Dude, I was just telling someone
yesterday about our first
1032
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,720
marathon recording session of
season #1 where we did 4 movies
1033
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,040
in one day and the only mic we
had to record with was a
1034
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,520
conference call microphone that
sat on the table in between us.
1035
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,840
Like, we've come a long way
since then for sure.
1036
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,240
Yeah, I really the preview for
this season should have been
1037
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:58,800
like audio from the Anchorman
original episode and then like
1038
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,120
morphed into audio from us
today, Crystal.
1039
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:03,400
Clear.
Yeah, exactly.
1040
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,360
I'll, I'll just say real
quickly, you know, we started
1041
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:11,480
season 10 as kind of a bonus
content thing back in 2023.
1042
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,400
So if you listen to some of
these recent episodes, you'll
1043
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:18,000
hear me saying in 2023, because
they originally released as
1044
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,440
bonus episodes for our Patreon
patrons.
1045
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,120
And we told them at the time,
eventually these will become the
1046
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,800
episodes for season 10.
And so I think we knocked out
1047
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:29,880
about half the season ahead of
time via audio so that we could
1048
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,920
start implementing video in the
meantime.
1049
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,560
And so this season in itself has
been almost three years in the
1050
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:41,120
making, Brad, as always, man,
this has been just like, it's so
1051
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,720
much fun to do this podcast with
you.
1052
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,400
It's so much fun to be able to
have a little community online
1053
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,160
that follows us through it.
We are gonna take a couple weeks
1054
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,800
off here across April, but we
will be back in May with season
1055
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,080
#11 Brad and I are finalizing
our list of movies for season
1056
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,680
11.
I'm really excited about the
1057
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,160
ideas we have for it.
Dude, I just, I can't wait.
1058
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,480
I'm ready to take a couple weeks
off and come back fully
1059
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:06,120
energized for another almost
year long endeavor here with
1060
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,480
you.
Dude, it's been such an absolute
1061
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:14,120
blessing to go on this journey
to watch over 300 odd movies
1062
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,520
with you, drink a ton of
whiskey, go go to cool places
1063
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:22,080
like New York and Kentucky and
it's just been a blast, man.
1064
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,720
It's a it's a wild time.
Also just to for you guys, the
1065
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,960
fans, like we have patrons out
there who believe in what we do
1066
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,560
enough to give us money, which
is wild.
1067
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,120
Thank you.
We have fans who come on to our
1068
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,440
Discord and have conversations
with one another.
1069
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:42,680
It is really just an absolute
blast to be a part of this and I
1070
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,400
I feel really thankful today.
I love it man.
1071
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,640
You're just thankful because you
won all the coin flips so.
1072
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,320
I mean.
You know, on that note, guys, we
1073
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:56,600
will see you in May for season
#11 we may or may not have some
1074
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,640
bonus episodes in the meantime
for you.
1075
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,440
You know what, like give us a
couple weeks off.
1076
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,560
We've been posting every week
for seven plus years, so we
1077
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,720
might just take a couple weeks
off here, guys.
1078
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,320
But on that note, that wraps up
season #10 let's go ahead and
1079
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,000
sign off until season 11.
I'm Bob.
1080
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,600
Book.
I'm Brad G.
1081
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:16,680
And we'll see you next time.
