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.

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,400
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

01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,000
sign off until season 11.
