Season Eight Bracket Challenge, Part 1

The wait is over! We’re diving into the epic showdown of our Season Eight Bracket, where the 32 films we reviewed this season face off in a head-to-head tournament to determine the ultimate champion.

In Part 1, we take the bracket from 32 films down to the final 8. Which movies will rise to the top, and which will be sent packing? Along the way, we also discuss our top 5 whiskeys of the season, adding a little extra flavor to the competition.

Full Breakdown:

The Season Eight Bracket is here, and the competition is fierce! In this first part of the tournament, we start with the full roster of 32 films reviewed during Season Eight and pit them against each other in a knockout-style bracket. With movies spanning all genres, directors, and eras, this is an intense battle of cinematic excellence.

As we work through the matchups, we debate the merits of each film—whether it’s the acting, the directing, the story, or the emotional impact—and make some tough calls along the way. Will your favorite film make it through to the final 8?

But it wouldn’t be Film & Whiskey without a toast to our favorite spirits. We take a break from the movie madness to highlight our top 5 whiskeys of the season, sharing tasting notes and memories from some of the best bottles we’ve reviewed this year.

Tune in to see how the bracket unfolds, which films advance, and which ones fall short. This is just the beginning—Part 2 promises even more surprises as we crown the champion of Season Eight!

00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Blackwood Distilling was born in
2020 after Co founder Guinness

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,840
Mcfadden's big win at the 2019
Kentucky Derby.

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,120
With the help of the Justin's
from Justin's House of Bourbon,

10
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,760
Blackwood created a luxury
toasted bourbon and America's

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,280
first triple distilled toasted
rye.

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,080
By using toasted barrels from
Kelvin Cooperage, Blackwood

13
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,080
created an Indiana Rye whiskey
like no other, blended from five

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,400
to seven-year old barrels.
Both the bourbon and the rye are

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,160
bottled at barrel strength.
Batch four of the bourbon and

16
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,640
Batch three of the rye along
with single barrels of each are

podcast.
Well, hey everybody, welcome

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,320
into the Film and Whiskey

26
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,800
I'm Bob Book.
I'm Brad Gee.

27
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,440
And we're coming at you with
another special bonus episode.

28
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,880
Bonus episode Not just any bonus
episode, Brad a sponsored bonus

29
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,320
episode.
Sponsored bonus episode.

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Oh, I'm sorry.
Sponsored bonus episode.

31
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,840
See.
Oh yeah, I forgot you like to do

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,960
your little old tiny radio voice
when we have sponsorships.

33
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,760
It's kind of my favorite thing
to do.

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
It's, it's throwing back to when
people could actually make money

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,280
from being on the radio, you
know?

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Yes, exactly.
It's a it's a call back.

37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,880
I I'm glad you understood it.
Well, we want to say thank you

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,240
right here at the top to our
friends at Blackwood Distilling

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,680
for sponsoring today's episode.
Brad, it is time for us to put a

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,520
bow on season eight.
We've done 32 movie reviews and

41
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,320
even more whiskey reviews than
that.

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,640
But for the purposes of today,
we're we're strictly focusing on

43
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:41,400
movies folks, because we have
taken all 32 of those movies and

44
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,440
put them into a tournament style
bracket.

45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,240
And we are going to eliminate
movies from existence as we pair

46
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,800
them up with each other until we
whittle it down to the top

47
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:55,520
eight.
So this episode, Brad, is a lot

48
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,720
of names being read and a lot of
movies being eliminated.

49
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,280
And I'm going to be honest with
you, I really like the second

50
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,240
part of the bracket where we
pick a winner.

51
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,440
But I think it's more fun to
just have the chaos of episode

52
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,480
one.
I think I enjoy episode one more

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,040
when we do it.
Oh 100% man, it gets a little

54
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,200
bit wild and the Coin of Destiny
often gets flipped a little bit

55
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,840
more in that first episode, so.
That's that's very true.

56
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,920
Although I think last season
didn't we have like 3 out of the

57
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:31,360
top four were all coin flips.
There was something crazy like

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,800
that.
Yeah, it was an insane time.

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,840
Folks, we're already using
terminology that if you are new

60
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,080
to the show, you have no idea
what we're talking about.

61
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,800
Like I said, we put all these
movies into a bracket.

62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,640
Now, how do we determine where
the movies go in the bracket?

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Well, if you listen to our
episodes, at the end of each

64
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,960
episode we give a movie a final
score.

65
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,080
And so Brad and I have an
average score for each film, and

66
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,120
based on that, we can basically
rank these movies 1 to 32.

67
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,400
However, in the spirit of
fairness, sometimes you get to

68
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,080
the end of a season and you say
something like, you know what,

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,000
Maybe The Last Jedi wasn't so
bad after all.

70
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Maybe I was, maybe I was a
little too harsh on that movie.

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,760
And So what we also do is, apart
from our scores that we gave in

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,360
that week, Brad and I just kind
of look at the list of 32 movies

73
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,360
and we ask our heart where,
where should these movies go?

74
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,080
And we reorder those movies just
in terms of personal preference.

75
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,800
So at the end of this whole
thing, I have 3 lists.

76
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520
I have the list from the week
that we did it, and I have both

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,920
of our end of season.
Here's my heart list.

78
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:37,160
And based on all those, we can
determine where each movie gets

79
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,120
seated, with the number one seed
being the one that we liked the

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,040
most and the 32 being the one
that we liked the least.

81
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,320
And what's really fun about
having all three of those lists

82
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,800
is that it inevitably creates
match ups in the bracket that

83
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,600
really, really suck to have to
decide Brad.

84
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Yeah, really often we get match
ups where even if it's like 12

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,040
versus 18, seed it.
It makes a really difficult

86
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,800
thing for us where it's it's
this movie's gone forever, it's

87
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,080
in the fiery furnace.
What are we supposed to do

88
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,600
without How the Grinch Stole
Christmas in our lives, Bob?

89
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,880
Luckily, we won't have to wonder
about that for long, Brad.

90
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,080
We will be coping with that
reality here very shortly.

91
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,960
So once we have the bracket
created, it's uploaded onto our

92
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,600
website.
So if you'd like to follow along

93
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,680
with us, you can go to
filmwhiskey.com.

94
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,800
There's a tab right at the top
of that says season eight

95
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,840
bracket on it and you can
download your own bracket, fill

96
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:39,680
it out for funsies and see how
you do versus US and the Queen

97
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,080
of Destiny.
But Brad and I have each filled

98
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,000
out our personal bracket so I I
can see what I want to win this

99
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,600
season.
Brad can see what he wants to

100
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
win this season.
And as each match up comes up,

101
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,240
we will reveal to each other
what we picked to move on.

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,560
If there is consensus, then you
know all is right with the

103
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,920
world.
But if there is a a, what's the

104
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,680
word?
What's that?

105
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,240
Tie No.
A loggerhead head?

106
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Is that what it's called?
What's it called?

107
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,000
When if we come to loggerheads.
Is that what it's called?

108
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,760
I don't know.
Anyway, a log jam?

109
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Is that the word?
I don't know.

110
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,600
Sure.
If we're at odds with each

111
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,040
other, we flip the coin of
destiny and.

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,840
No, Bob, I just want you to keep
going.

113
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,200
What are what other words could
you use there?

114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,840
I just.
Can't think of the word.

115
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,160
I guess log jam is the word I
was.

116
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,880
Trying to think of you're on
fire tonight, Bob.

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,000
Keep at it.
Clearly.

118
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,280
So Brad has a coin that he
flips, and I am always dubious

119
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:33,440
of whether there's a real coin
and whether he's actually

120
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,040
flipping it, but he assures me
that it is the case.

121
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,280
And if the coin flip goes
through, then hopefully it

122
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,440
favors me.
Folks, that's about all you need

123
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,560
to know in terms of rules being
laid down.

124
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,800
Brad, is there anything you want
to say before we jump into our

125
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,680
bracket?
I would like to say that you

126
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,200
have impugned my honor one too
many times, Bob.

127
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,360
I do not lie about coin flips.
The integrity of the game is far

128
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,040
more important than any
individual movie.

129
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Now, in the past, folks, we have
had whiskeys lined up to drink

130
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,400
across these episodes and Brad
and I kind of conversed off to

131
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440
the side and said, hey, that's a
lot to try to fit into two

132
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,240
episodes.
So if you're here for whiskey

133
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,200
content, I'm really sorry, but
this is going to be 99% movies.

134
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,360
We have not lined up whiskeys to
review today.

135
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,000
However, as we go through these
two episodes, we are going to be

136
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,440
counting down our top five
whiskeys of the season.

137
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,560
And Brad, I believe you're also
drinking our sponsored whiskey

138
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,840
for the evening.
Right.

139
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Yeah, I sure am.
I'm drinking this Blackwood

140
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,680
toasted bourbon which fun fact
Bob incredibly.

141
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Delicious.
Yeah, We just reviewed it in a

142
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,960
kind of mini capsule review a
few episodes back.

143
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,880
So we were.
We're not going to give too much

144
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080
air time to them other than what
you've already heard.

145
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,480
But suffice it to say, if this
had been in our list of 32

146
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960
whiskeys for the season, Brad, I
think it would have been pushing

147
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,080
for that top five list.
I think it probably would have

148
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,640
been in it.
I mean, you said yourself

149
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960
toasted whiskeys are not usually
your favorite.

150
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,400
I'm usually OK with them.
This one is easily one of the

151
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840
best toasted bourbons we've ever
had.

152
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,160
That probably the best toasted
bourbon.

153
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,880
So as I looked at our top five
whiskeys for the season, Brad, I

154
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,120
realized that I only have four
of them left because one of them

155
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,280
was a really, really small
sample that both of us got

156
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,520
through really quickly.
So I have four of them left on

157
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120
my shelf, and I thought maybe
I'll just kind of drink them as

158
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,880
we go through these two
episodes.

159
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,559
And if you don't mind me
revealing our fifth best whiskey

160
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,799
of the season, it's one that I
really wanted to revisit tonight

161
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,960
because it was the first whiskey
we drank this season and I don't

162
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,840
remember a damn thing about it,
Brad.

163
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,520
And that is Old Poultney 12
single malt Scotch whiskey.

164
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,640
This is a whiskey that received
a 39.75 out of 50 from us.

165
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,040
So almost cracking that 40 mark.
You had it at a 41 1/2 out of

166
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,160
50, Brad.
So this is one that you really,

167
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,040
really liked.
And I'm, I'm just pouring it

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,760
out.
I'll give some notes as we go,

169
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,800
but it's nice to revisit old
friends in Old Poultney here.

170
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Yeah, I remember really enjoying
it.

171
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,240
I don't remember exactly what
stood out to me.

172
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,760
So you'll you'll have to give me
a reminder.

173
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,760
It's so funny, Bob.
People will ask me though, like,

174
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,720
Oh yeah, I was listening to your
Toy Story three episode the

175
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,760
other day and I don't know about
what you said with this, this

176
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,960
and that.
And I'm like, hey listen, I do

177
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,480
this every single week and I
don't remember what I said about

178
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,840
the movie we reviewed last week,
let alone something from 7 weeks

179
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,960
ago.
All right, so this is a Highland

180
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,720
Scotch.
It's really light in color.

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,080
It's very, very floral.
It's got some honey sweetness to

182
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,840
it.
And then I got kick of like PD

183
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Smokey goodness on the back.
It doesn't like it's not a super

184
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,120
PD whiskey, but Highland
scotches are not usually PD.

185
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,640
And so this is kind of like the
best of both worlds.

186
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,000
I can see why we really like
this one, Brad and it, it's a

187
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,040
really easy sipper.
There you go, there's, there's

188
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,360
#5.
Beautiful.

189
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,920
Well, while you're sipping on
that, how about we get started

190
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,880
with our bracket in the very top
left quadrant?

191
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,360
I know that we've come up with
names for them before, but right

192
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,400
now I'm just going to call the
northwest bracket the Nicolas

193
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Cage.
Match.

194
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,160
I love every season you just
pull out random actors names.

195
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:28,360
Yep.
I don't think Nicolas Cage was

196
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,680
in any of the movies we
discussed this season.

197
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:32,000
But you know what?
He sure wasn't.

198
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,680
It's the Nick Cage memorial.
Quadrant Memorial Memorial.

199
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,880
Is it for the terrible job he
did in raising Arizona?

200
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,400
No, it's not because he was
freaking phenomenal in that.

201
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,640
All right, So our first match up
of the day is perhaps the

202
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,280
easiest one that we're going to
get through, Brad.

203
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,960
It is the number one overall
seed, up against the number 32

204
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,080
seed, Ron Howard's How the
Grinch Stole Christmas.

205
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:02,880
All right, say one nice thing
about Ron Howard and his

206
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,240
directing of How the Grinch
Stole Christmas I.

207
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,120
Can say many nice things about
Ron Howard.

208
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,120
He's a great director.
He's made some incredible

209
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,960
movies.
I cannot say one nice thing

210
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,040
about his direction.
This movie is like a true

211
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,720
abomination.
Everything that any American

212
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,360
movie is ever accused of.
You know, crass commercialism,

213
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,800
ugly aesthetics, cynicism, it's
all here in this movie, Brad.

214
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,320
This is like every Snooty thing
that the French have ever said

215
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,360
about us was proven right by
this movie.

216
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,600
Yeah.
I mean, I would love to disagree

217
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,640
with you, and I think I would on
a very small measure that

218
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,600
there's some good stuff, there's
some redeemable qualities, but

219
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,120
not nearly enough to make my
heart grow 3 sizes too big.

220
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,720
Up is up is the easy the easy
winner here.

221
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600
Well, it's pretty obvious that
Up is going to move on into the

222
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,400
round of 16, but let's take just
2030 seconds here, Brad, and

223
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,800
talk about the fact that Up is
our number one overall movie.

224
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,360
I'm a little surprised by that
because for me, I had it ranked,

225
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,720
let's see, 4th on my list.
It's a great movie and it was

226
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,360
obviously one of the best ones
here.

227
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,800
But when your list came back,
Brad, it was your #1 ranked film

228
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,680
of the season.
So yeah, why is up the champion

229
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,320
for you?
You know, I don't think it would

230
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,320
be the champion in a lot of
other seasons.

231
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,160
I feel like this season eight
was just kind of weird in the

232
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,080
fact that while there were a lot
of movies I really enjoyed, I

233
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,480
don't know if any of them really
stood out to me as like all the

234
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,120
time.
Yeah, classics and so up is

235
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,560
probably the closest thing I
would get to that.

236
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:51,520
Fugitive was up there as well.
Really loved American Sniper.

237
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,840
The especially the more I think
about it, the more I really like

238
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,280
that movie.
So that, you know, there's a few

239
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,880
that I really loved, but up I, I
think it has that mixture of I

240
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,440
saw it when I was like 1819
years old.

241
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,800
I've seen it many times since my
wife loves it there.

242
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,080
There's so much beauty and
meaning to it as you get older

243
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,400
that you don't necessarily have
when you're younger that it just

244
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,880
hits so many different boxes
that it's a it's a number one

245
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680
for this season.
All right, so up is moving on

246
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:24,160
into the round of 16.
Brad, why don't you introduce

247
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,040
our next match up?
Next up, we are going to be

248
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:34,560
looking right to the middle of
things #16's Black Panther

249
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:37,800
versus #17 at night at the
museum.

250
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,000
This is an interesting
conversation piece and I think

251
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,120
Black Panther being at 16 is the
spicier take.

252
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,640
But just for a second, I want to
focus on Night at the Museum, a

253
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,240
movie that I had never seen
before.

254
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,200
We watched it with our friendly
Diaz and I was expecting it to

255
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,680
kind of suck.
Honestly, in the first thirtyish

256
00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,200
minutes of the movie do kind of
suck, and then the rest of the

257
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,280
movie was an utter delight.
It's a movie directed by Sean

258
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,840
Levy, who has gotten a lot of
crap for the movies that he's

259
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,000
made since then, like Free Guy
and the most recent Deadpool

260
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,360
movie and I got to see.
Deadpool and Wolverine.

261
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,800
I sure did, Brad.
How is that Bob?

262
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,560
It was exactly what you thought
it would be.

263
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:22,400
It was Avengers end game with a
more of a wink to the camera,

264
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,080
you know?
I don't think that's what I

265
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,600
would have expected, but sure.
There's so many cameos.

266
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,560
It's just like, you know, here
are Marvel fans.

267
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,520
This is all we can do now is
bring dead people back to life.

268
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,680
So enjoy.
Yeah, and and have Ryan Reynolds

269
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,360
making fun of them.
Absolutely sucked.

270
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,440
All right.
Yeah.

271
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,240
So Night at the Museum better
than anticipated.

272
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,120
Brad, what are your like
enduring thoughts about Night at

273
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,400
the Museum?
Another movie that I remember

274
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,520
watching as a teenager and
really enjoying and returning to

275
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,920
it as an adult.
I was genuinely surprised by how

276
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,600
much it held up versus how I
thought it would.

277
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,600
I, I did not think the humor in
the movie would work.

278
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,400
I, I was like, this feels like
it's going to come across much

279
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,640
more like a kids movie.
But man oh man, I was pleasantly

280
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,200
surprised here.
Really enjoyed my return tonight

281
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,880
at the museum.
Now Black Panther on the other

282
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,960
hand is a movie that I really
like and I remember Brad telling

283
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,240
me not really my jam, but he
gave it a 6 1/2 on the episode.

284
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,080
However, when I got back his
ranking of movies for the end of

285
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,400
the season, Brad, you had it
ranked as your fifth lowest

286
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,440
movie of the season behind some
truly God awful films.

287
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,000
So did you, did you just turn on
this movie or do you feel like

288
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,160
you were pulling punches during
the episode?

289
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,640
I don't know if I was pulling
punches.

290
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,400
I would say that 6 1/2 is a
pretty low score for me.

291
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,080
If you like.
If you took every single movie

292
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:02,640
I've ever rated, I would say 6
1/2 is in the bottom 30 to 40%

293
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320
of movies I've rated.
For this podcast, that's

294
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,600
probably fair.
We do tend to watch really good

295
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,720
movies on this show.
Right.

296
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,000
Yeah, usually we're anywhere
from a 7 1/2 to a nine out of 10

297
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,000
on our scores.
So 6 1/2 I I really didn't love

298
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Black Panther.
Man, well, I have to be honest

299
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,720
dude, this was a pretty easy one
for me.

300
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,120
I really like tonight at the
museum, but Black Panther moved

301
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,760
on relatively easily for me.
And I'm assuming that you are

302
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,920
trying to push Ben Stiller
through to the next round.

303
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,840
I sure am.
I mean, come on, dude.

304
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,040
This is a good Ben Stiller
performance.

305
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,320
Yeah.
It's no Walter Mitty or Derek

306
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Zoolander, but it's pretty good.
Basically the same performances,

307
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,360
all right.
So honestly, weirdly enough,

308
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,920
Night at the Museum is almost a
combination of Derek Zoolander

309
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,040
and Walter Mitty.
Like if those are, if those are

310
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,320
the extremes of the Ben Stiller
spectrum, this one kind of gets

311
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,480
a a little dose of both.
I would say that this is a good

312
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Ben Stiller performance, but I
don't even remember his name in

313
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,040
the movie.
Is it Larry?

314
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,720
Is his name Larry?
I think so.

315
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,920
Yeah, see, it's not that good.
OK, Brad, we're gonna flip the

316
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,000
Coin of destiny.
Black Panther will be heads as

317
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,880
the higher seed, and Night at
the Museum will be Tales.

318
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:34,320
So, Brad, flip that coin.
Bob Night at the Museum will be

319
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:40,240
moving on to the next round.
That's OK because I'm looking

320
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,360
ahead at the next match up here,
Brad, and I'm putting all my

321
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:45,280
hopes on this one.
This will be perhaps the

322
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,960
spiciest of all spicy takes in
the history of our show because

323
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:55,360
you are forcing me to put the
number 24 seed, The Last Jedi, a

324
00:17:55,360 --> 00:18:02,160
film that you notoriously gave a
0 out of 10 to up against not

325
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,640
just any film, but the film
depicting our Lord and Savior

326
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Jesus Christ, Passion of the
Christ.

327
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,000
Baba.
You are forcing me to choose

328
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,920
Ryan Johnson over Jesus Christ.
Brad, what are you doing, man?

329
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,120
I'm not forcing you to do
anything.

330
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,720
If you choose Ryan Johnson,
you're not just choosing him

331
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:29,720
over Jesus Christ, over Mel
Gibson, bloodied, scorned Jesus

332
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,400
Christ who is on the cross for
your sins.

333
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,960
OK, well, first of all, let's
let's pull back a little bit

334
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,040
from that.
Not true.

335
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,680
I'm just, I'm just saying if
that's what you're choosing.

336
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,840
If the Passion of the Christ
shuffles off this mortal coil

337
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,480
and is thrown into the fiery
abyss as a film, I still take

338
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,640
comfort in knowing that I serve
a risen Lord and that He is not

339
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,800
tied at all to the fate of that.
Pretty good movie.

340
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,520
I mean, you got naked Jim
Caviezel rising at the end of

341
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,520
the film, man.
You were on one today, dude.

342
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,080
All right, let me be honest
here.

343
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,480
This was a very easy one for me.
I think The Last Jedi is just a

344
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080
more successful film than The
Passion of the Christ is.

345
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,000
I think the Passion of the
Christ is a good movie that we

346
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,400
both acknowledge has some weird
decisions and definite flaws in

347
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,240
it.
The the power of that movie, if

348
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,440
especially if you are a believer
kind of overrides that.

349
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,880
But it is a more deeply flawed
movie and it in terms of the

350
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,320
actual direction and movie
making I found as well than The

351
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Last Jedi.
Now I know that you were going

352
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,680
to vehemently disagree with that
Brad.

353
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,800
So please have have the floor
for the next 30 seconds make

354
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,920
your case and then we are going
to flip a coin because I know

355
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,840
where you stand on this.
All right, so page 13 of my 22

356
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,680
pages of notes.
Let's get back into this.

357
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,360
No, if if you want to hear my
rant, go back and listen to our

358
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:57,120
Last Jedi episode.
It is the longest episode in

359
00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:00,120
film and whiskey history for
good reason.

360
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:03,880
That movie sucks.
OK, there you go, Brad.

361
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,720
Here, Here's the thing Bob, I
like.

362
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,560
I will fully equip myself from
any amount of favouritism here.

363
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,960
If you want to flip a coin like
I, you go right ahead man.

364
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,560
I will fully recuse myself.
I'm a OK with that.

365
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,560
I mean, OK, so I I haven't seen
your bracket, I have to assume

366
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,080
that you pick a movie over the
Passion of the Christ at some

367
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,520
point.
Nope, it's my bracket winner.

368
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,680
OK, I will be the one then.
Do you want me to flip the coin?

369
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,720
Yeah, go for it, man.
Well, I don't have a coin handy

370
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,520
so I'm going to have to do an
online coin flipper.

371
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,880
You don't just have coins in
your pocket at all times.

372
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,960
I don't.
What kind of what kind of mid?

373
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,240
What kind of Midwest dad are
you, Bob?

374
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,640
Coin flip.
OK, so we are going to say that

375
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,640
the Passion of the Christ is
heads and the Last Jedi, one of

376
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,680
my final four entrance is tails.
I am a little bit nervous about

377
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,160
this.
All right, we're flipping now,

378
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,360
Brad.
Yes.

379
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,480
Would you like me to share my
screen so you can see this?

380
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,040
Sure.
Right there, baby.

381
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,800
Folks, The Last Jedi is moving
on to the next round.

382
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,920
That's disgusting.
I live to.

383
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,720
Fight one more day, it's going
to face a lot of coin flips.

384
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:33,920
I was going to say, yeah, I
know.

385
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,200
It's, I will say though, if it
gets all the way to the Final

386
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,040
four where I have it, I don't
have a going any farther than

387
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,280
the final four, Brad.
But like it's going to have to

388
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,720
get through like what, two or
three more coin flips just to

389
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,480
get there.
And at that point, it's going to

390
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,440
feel destined.
I'm just going to be honest.

391
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:56,680
I I all I have to say, Bob, is
that movie is hot garbage and it

392
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,400
makes me doubt your ability as a
cinephile.

393
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,800
Yeah.
OK, let's do something that's a

394
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,200
little bit easier here.
The next match up is the number

395
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,600
8 seed, Rise of the Planet of
the Apes up against the number

396
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,800
25 seed, Sister Act.
Brad, I think we both really

397
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,120
like Sister Act for what it was.
It is like the definition of a 6

398
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,760
1/2 out of 10.
It's like a perfect, you know,

399
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,120
if you're on a four-star scale,
it's a perfect like 2 1/2 star

400
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:23,720
movie.
Yeah.

401
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,200
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
is like a three pushing a 3 1/2

402
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,720
like a really good movie.
And I think that I don't, I'm

403
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,280
not going to stump for it or
anything.

404
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,520
I just think it's a, it's a,
it's a pretty obviously better

405
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,200
made movie than Sister Act.
Yeah, I'm 100% with you.

406
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,840
I think Rise of the Planet of
the Apes is enduringly fun.

407
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,760
Like it does an incredible job
of being like a pre pandemic

408
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,080
type of movie there.
There's some good drama, there's

409
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,760
some good action.
All of it is at like B minus to

410
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,880
B plus level and and that's all
it needs to be.

411
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,680
It's a really fun movie.
I'm going to move it on past

412
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,560
Sister Act pretty easily.
All right, so that does it for

413
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,800
the Nick Cage Memorial Quadrant.
Our four entrants into the Sweet

414
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,960
16 are up Night at the Museum,
The Last Jedi and Rise of the

415
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,920
Planet of the Apes.
Brad, why don't we go down here

416
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,400
into the lower left quadrant,
the southwest quadrant and?

417
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,480
Also known as the Jessica
Chastain.

418
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,160
Memorial, memorial brackets.
OK, what's our first match up

419
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,320
here, Brad?
That is going to be the number 4

420
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:43,080
seeded Toy Story 3, going up
against our favorite, the

421
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,000
Michael Bay Transformers.
We're running long already.

422
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,360
I have many thoughts on how Toy
Story 3 got seated because you

423
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,680
have it ranked as like your
eighth highest movie of the

424
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,080
year, which I was shocked to see
it that low, but I had it as my

425
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,720
#1 ranked movie of the season.
So it kind of balanced out.

426
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,080
We we ended up with a four seed.
Transformers is a movie that we

427
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,880
acknowledged is brilliant in its
action sequences and then the

428
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,800
rest of the movie is like inept.
So I don't know, man.

429
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Would you have anything else to
say on this one?

430
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,680
Transformers is fun like one
time and then never again, so

431
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,720
Toy Story 3.
Toy Story 3.

432
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,720
All right, that was easy and
we're moving down into the

433
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:35,800
number 13 seeded Star Wars The
Phantom Menace, up against Men

434
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,280
in Black, the number 20 seed.
You're going to hate me like all

435
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,800
day, dude.
I.

436
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,040
I know what you're about to do.
Well, I just don't think I like

437
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,360
truly what you think about The
Last Jedi.

438
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,720
Well, no, that's not true.
No one thinks that about any

439
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,560
movie.
I just think that The Phantom

440
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,480
Menace is probably the worst
Star Wars movie except for maybe

441
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,200
Rise of Skywalker.
And like, I just think it's a

442
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,680
bad movie.
Oh.

443
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,480
Come on, it is so much better
than Rise of Skywalker.

444
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Yeah, come on, I just almost
don't consider Rise of Skywalker

445
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,760
to be just like, you know what
I'm thinking?

446
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Like, oh, what's the worst one?
I'm thinking of like the six,

447
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,000
not the nine.
So it's bad, and I think Men in

448
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,120
Black's better.
And yet you had it ranked as

449
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:21,560
like your 4th best movie of the
season or something.

450
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,600
I don't remember if it was quite
4th, but it was up there, yeah.

451
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,360
What?
OK, Why?

452
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,640
Like, just why, Brad?
Because I love this movie, man.

453
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,480
I think it's an incredibly well
made film.

454
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,120
I think that it's a great Star
Wars film and I, I think that

455
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,120
all, all of the detractions
against it are much more muted

456
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,160
when you actually watch the film
then everyone makes them out to

457
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,600
be.
So I mean, once again, this film

458
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:58,040
hits the nostalgia, it hits the
action, it hits the the grand

459
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,520
world building that you would
want from a Star Wars film.

460
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,600
And there's a lot of just
incredible sequences.

461
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,840
I mean the combination of the
John Williams score with the

462
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:15,160
final fight between between.
See even you don't remember.

463
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,400
Yeah, my my brother Darth
Murray.

464
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:18,800
Ty.
And.

465
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:24,400
Yeah, yeah, the the final battle
is just some of the best film

466
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,160
making ever.
So yes, I'm going to move The

467
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,600
Phantom Menace on.
I had this movie as my seventh

468
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,480
lowest movie of the season, and
I initially put it lower and

469
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,480
then I was like, you know what?
That's actually not fair to this

470
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,240
movie because I focused solely
on the pod racing sequence,

471
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,800
which is Ben Hur level chariot
race filmmaking.

472
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,000
And I have to be honest, I think
the whole rest of the movie

473
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,240
around that thing sucks, but it
is good enough on its own to

474
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,440
bump it up from being like my
third worst movie to the 7th or

475
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,400
8th worst movie.
And so there you go George.

476
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,680
That's your consolation prize.
I did move Men in Black on and

477
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,600
so I know we have another coin
flip here.

478
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,000
Brad, do you want to flip a
coin?

479
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:15,400
Yeah, I'll go ahead and flip it,
Bob.

480
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,440
The Phantom Menace will be
moving on.

481
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,720
OK, heads, heads again.
OK, let's see.

482
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,680
We've gone heads, tails, heads
so far.

483
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,200
So, you know, we're on a pretty
good pathway towards the 50%

484
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,240
margin.
All right, Next up we've got

485
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,560
Home Alone, the number 12
overall seed up against #21

486
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:46,200
Independence Day, a movie that I
am just still attached to from

487
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,960
my childhood.
This is like one of the 1st

488
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,240
movies.
I remember feeling the sort of

489
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,480
summer blockbuster feeling, you
know what I mean?

490
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,120
Like when you went to a movie
and it was like, that was

491
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:58,600
entertaining as hell.
That's everything I want out of

492
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,640
a movie in the summertime when I
go to the movies with my whole

493
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,960
family.
Like it just knocked me out of

494
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,840
the park when I was 6.
And I watch it now and I'm like,

495
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,040
yeah, this is the kind of movie
that would knock a six year old

496
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,040
out of the park.
It's deeply flawed.

497
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,400
I think I still just I have more
of a soft spot for this one than

498
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,960
I do Home Alone and I'm and
Brad, we even talked about in

499
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,800
the Home alone episode, like it
picks up in the back half of the

500
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,640
movie, but the first half of
that movie not not great.

501
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,080
Yeah, there are some issues with
Home Alone, but it is like

502
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,560
ubiquitously known as a top
three to top five Christmas

503
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,000
movie like that.
Like this is something you watch

504
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,520
every year and, and for good
reason.

505
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,560
I, I think when you pair the
ridiculousness of the back half

506
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,280
of the movie with the
meaningfulness of the lessons

507
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,480
that Kevin is learning, I I
think it's a great pairing of

508
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,920
like a coming of age story set
in the Christmas season.

509
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Yeah, it's a good movie.
It's it's a top five Christmas

510
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,000
movie.
Counterpoint, Independence Day

511
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,040
is the top one.
Independence Day?

512
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,840
How many movies for that
holiday?

513
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,600
Well, it's like this and Yankee
Doodle Dandy.

514
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,960
Like what else are we watching
on Independence Day?

515
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:15,600
Man?
Come on.

516
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,840
Oh, man, I, I, I have to be
honest with you, Bob, I still

517
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:26,920
don't think I understand why we
have quote UN quote summer

518
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,760
blockbusters.
Like, what is it about

519
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,200
summertime that you're like, oh,
this is the only time we can

520
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,560
have a dumbed down action movie?
The The summer blockbuster

521
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,720
started in earnest when
Spielberg released Jaws in 1975,

522
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,840
and it became the highest
grossing movie of all time.

523
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,160
And then every year after that,
studios tried to replicate that.

524
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Question, what if that had been
released, like, I don't know, in

525
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,200
March?
Yeah.

526
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,160
And and all of a sudden, it's
the spring blockbuster.

527
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,600
I think that's a valid question.
Yeah.

528
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,760
There's no, there's nothing
inherent to summer that's like

529
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,560
this is the time to go see
movies.

530
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,320
It's just that we've been doing
it for 45 years now, almost 50.

531
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,720
OK.
Yeah, I I can get down with

532
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,080
like, there's no real reason
other than the reason itself.

533
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Yeah, that's fine with me.
All right.

534
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,840
Did you move on Home alone or
Independence Day?

535
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,080
Home alone.
Independence Day, which means

536
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,520
it's time for hour.
Bob.

537
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,160
I mean what?
I just like it better.

538
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,160
I I, I mean, are you surprised I
went on a whole soapbox saying I

539
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,560
like it better?
Yeah.

540
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,160
But Home Alone is very clearly a
better made film.

541
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,520
Maybe get out of here.
All right, go ahead.

542
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Am I flipping this time?
Yeah, we'll, we'll take turns.

543
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,480
We'll go ahead and flip.
All right, All right.

544
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,280
So Home Alone is going to be
heads and Independence Day is

545
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,640
going to be tails.
Bob, what is that result?

546
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,080
It is tails, Brad.
Look at you go.

547
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:03,040
Independence Day is setting
itself up to get absolutely

548
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,120
annihilated by American Sniper
in the next round 'cause I know

549
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,280
how much Brad liked that movie
and but its first round match up

550
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,200
is right here.
The number five seed American

551
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,960
Sniper up against the number 28
seed, My Big Fat Greek Wedding,

552
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,400
A film that I went from being
just fine with and and kind of

553
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,080
feeling pleasant towards to
absolutely hating.

554
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,880
I wish this movie was ranked
even lower.

555
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,680
I didn't laugh one time watching
that movie again, Brad.

556
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,800
I I do feel like My Big Fat
Greek Wedding is the largest

557
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:41,480
anomaly in this bracket.
Like, like, think about all 31

558
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,880
other films and then tell me
that My Big Fat Greek Wedding

559
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,880
fits in with like top grocers of
these last 32 years.

560
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,560
I, if I recall correctly, that
was 2002, right?

561
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,720
And so we went pretty far down
the list to find my Big Fat

562
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,120
Greek Wedding.
We, we know we had like three

563
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,040
options that were like the 5th,
6th, 7th highest grossing.

564
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,000
And we were like, you know, it
would be cool to do My Big Fag

565
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,480
Greek Wedding 'cause we did a
Star Wars Episode 2 for the

566
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,960
patrons as a, as a makeup
episode to apologize for My Big

567
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,240
Fag Greek Wedding.
So yeah, I mean, it doesn't fit

568
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,280
in, but it's also like, you
know, that's what happens when

569
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,440
you pick the seventh highest
grossing movie of a year.

570
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,360
It was only the fifth highest
grossing Bob.

571
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,360
Yeah #5 just behind Mel Gibson
in signs.

572
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,720
What a freaking great movie.
Let's watch that again.

573
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,240
Dude it made more money
domestically than the Lord of

574
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,160
the Rings, The Two Towers.
Americans, am I right?

575
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,120
All right, dude, American Sniper
is moving on here.

576
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,160
Oh, very clearly.
Yeah.

577
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,240
Incredible.
Once again America defeats

578
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,040
Greece, so here we go.
That is the Chastain Quadrant.

579
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,200
We've got Toy Story 3, The
Phantom Menace, Independence

580
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,720
Day, and American Sniper.
What a dude bro quadrant that

581
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,800
has become.
Yeah, very much so.

582
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,040
This is a heck of a heck of a
quadrant for Jessica Chastain to

583
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,680
be in.
All right, let's speed through

584
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,880
this next set.
Brad.

585
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,960
We're going to go to the upper
right quadrant, which we are

586
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,520
dubbing what the.
Billy Crystal.

587
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,920
Memorial Bracket.
OK, we've got #2 The Fugitive up

588
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,000
against the number 31 seed,
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of

589
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,200
the Crystal Skull, a movie that,
despite Spielberg's best

590
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,600
efforts, absolutely blows.
Like, just not a good movie.

591
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,920
And I wanted to defend it, and I
tried to defend some of the cool

592
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,640
camera work, but just not a good
film.

593
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,280
Yeah.
Terrible movie, Fugitive.

594
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,200
Incredible movie.
And we'll talk about it more

595
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,440
later.
And we sure will.

596
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,240
All right, moving down to Shrek,
the number 15 overall seed up

597
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,160
against Avengers End game, the
number 18 overall seed.

598
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,400
Now, don't get your panties in a
wad, Avengers fans.

599
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,960
I already told you I don't like
this movie.

600
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,480
I am responsible for it being
down here at 18.

601
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,360
Brad, I think you had it in like
your top eight or nine of the

602
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,159
season, which I was, I was a
little bit surprised by.

603
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,120
I love that movie, man.
It like not even because it's a

604
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,360
Marvel film.
There's just something about it

605
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,000
that hit me this time that it
worked really beautifully and

606
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,239
made me cry multiple times.
Do you like it better than the

607
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,360
original Avengers?
Like the 2012 Avengers.

608
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,360
I think it's more meaningful
than the original Avengers.

609
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,800
I don't know if I like it more,
but it definitely has a deeper

610
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,199
impact on me.
Yeah, I mean, it has the benefit

611
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:48,840
of being like the final chapter
too.

612
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,920
You know, no one ever gives
credit to like the opening

613
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,320
chapter.
Yeah, I mean that it's kind of

614
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:58,880
like in general I'm like, I like
Fellowship of the Ring is such

615
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,680
an incredible film.
I I might give it my favorite,

616
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,600
but then I look at Two Towers
and Return of the King.

617
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,360
I'm like, wow, it's kind of hard
to do that because those have

618
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,400
such different impacts on you as
a viewer.

619
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,120
So I, I don't know man, it's
tough.

620
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,760
OK, where are we at with this
one?

621
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,280
Let's see what I moved on here
'cause I don't like either of

622
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,320
these movies.
Brad, I moved Shrek on here.

623
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,240
I am.
I am an agent of chaos.

624
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,120
I assume you moved end game on
here?

625
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,320
I I did move end game on I'm.
Going to be real with you,

626
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,600
whatever gets moved on is going
to get defeated by the fugitive

627
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,160
and I will be glad to see that
happen regardless.

628
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,840
So you want to flip a coin?
Sure.

629
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,240
All right.
Shrek is heads.

630
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,600
End game is Tales.
Let us Thanos one of these

631
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:53,040
movies out of existence.
Bob, the gods have spoken.

632
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:59,360
Shrek survives another day.
Freaking Shrek dude.

633
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,200
What a stupid movie.
Oh man, I you crap over both of

634
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,200
these movies.
I actually like both of these

635
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,040
films, but not enough to put
them past The Fugitive.

636
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,200
But you you need to give things
the credit that they are due.

637
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,760
I mean, Shrek's fine, I just
don't think it deserves to be

638
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,960
like one of the most enduring
classics of animated film.

639
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,640
I think you just found like way
too weird of stuff on the

640
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,800
Internet in the 2000 tens about
Shrek and then that's why you

641
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,840
don't like the movie.
All right, on that note, let's

642
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:38,000
move down to the next match up
#10 Rain Man up against the

643
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:44,560
number 23 seed Batman, the 1989
Tim Burton film 88 versus 89

644
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,000
Brad.
These are the 1st 2 movies of

645
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,440
our season and they're squaring
off against each other.

646
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,040
Now we have said the entire time
we're millennials who were just

647
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,320
a little bit too young for
Batman when it came out, mostly

648
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,720
because it came out before we
were born.

649
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,320
But like I.
Was about to say a little too

650
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,680
young.
By the time that we were like of

651
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,120
movie watching age, I just feel
like we had completely shifted

652
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,800
the tone of the aesthetics of
what superhero films were going

653
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,680
to be.
Yeah, as I say, I remember

654
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:15,720
watching Batman Begins when it
came out and like, that set the

655
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:21,080
tone for me for what a Batman
franchise should look like.

656
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,640
I mean, even Sam Raimi's Spider
Man, right?

657
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,360
Just, you know, just completely
sets the bar so much higher for

658
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,280
what superhero movies should be
and.

659
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,280
Raimi's Spider Man has those
cheesy elements to it, like

660
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,160
Willem Dafoe is just like, it's
a ridiculous cartoony

661
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,040
performance.
But what Tim Burton is doing in

662
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,840
Batman, despite some really
great set design and

663
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,440
cinematography and some great
moments, there are just as many

664
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,240
moments that completely
undermine that movie.

665
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:51,840
I think Rain Man moves on pretty
easily here, Brad.

666
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,160
Yeah, I'll, I'll move Rain Man
on I I don't remember any of the

667
00:37:55,160 --> 00:38:00,160
lines, but I do know that Jack
Nicholson has some wild lines in

668
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:00,880
that.
Movie.

669
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,440
What does he say?
Like don't, don't do something

670
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,040
with another man's rhubarb.
Yeah, yeah, what a freaking

671
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,160
weird movie it's.
The peanut butter sandwiches of

672
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,640
the 1980s?
Exactly.

673
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,400
OK, our next match up is #7 The
Avengers.

674
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,520
We were just talking about that
versus the number 26 seed Robin

675
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Hood, Prince of Thieves, the
1991 Abomination.

676
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,360
What an incredible film.
What the?

677
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,720
Hell are you doing?
Man?

678
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:32,320
I saw your list, you had it up
in like the top ten or

679
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,720
something.
It was not in the top 10.

680
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,680
But like, it was way higher than
this movie ever needs to be.

681
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,960
And I was like, Brad, that movie
objectively sucks.

682
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,760
And you were like, it sucks and
I love it.

683
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,600
Objectively, probably the best
movie we watched all season.

684
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:55,640
I mean a truly terrible movie.
Alan Rickman is godly in that

685
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,040
film.
There's there's so much

686
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,920
feathered hair in that movie
that you wonder where were they

687
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,840
getting their blow dryers and
Aqua Net back in those days.

688
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,400
All I know is that that film
rocks.

689
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,920
I every single decision for that
movie is turned up to 11 and I I

690
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,440
don't know what it was.
I was ready for it to suck so

691
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,400
bad and I was so pleasantly
surprised by what I received.

692
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,320
Oh my God that movie is awful.
The Avengers is moving on, and I

693
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,680
get to say once again how cool
the moment is where he goes.

694
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,800
Hulk, now would be a really good
time to get angry.

695
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,000
And he goes, That's my secret,
Captain.

696
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,760
I'm always angry.
And then he punches a spaceship

697
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,080
in the face.
What a freaking great movie.

698
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,480
Not just a spaceship like a
space worm, it's like a space.

699
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,000
Dude, yes.
Yeah, it's the greatest man.

700
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,720
Yeah, I I'm moving Avengers on.
I love Robin Hood, Prince of

701
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:58,640
Thieves, but the the first
Avengers oh man what a what a

702
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,920
great film.
OK, so the witch memorial is

703
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,640
Billy Crystal Memorial bracket
now features these movies in the

704
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:11,720
round of 16 The Fugitive, Shrek,
Rain Man and The Avengers.

705
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,240
And that takes us down to our
final quadrant here, Brad, which

706
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:18,320
is, I guess, going to be named
after some unfortunate woman.

707
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,680
Yeah, it's not an unfortunate
woman.

708
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,480
It's going to be the Audrey
Hepburn Memorial bracket.

709
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,680
It's actually a memorial bracket
and we're kicking it off with a

710
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,520
match up that I am so happy to
see.

711
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,720
The number three overall seed
James Cameron's True Lies, the

712
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:41,000
little movie that could the
movie that cost $200 million.

713
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,240
I would say that was not a
little movie.

714
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,640
Versus the number 30 seed,
Frozen.

715
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:50,000
Now, if there is a movie, Brad,
that I feel like I can accuse

716
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:54,000
you of being a little bit too
harsh on, Frozen is a movie that

717
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,840
I don't like and I feel like
morally, like I hate what this

718
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,400
movie did to cinema.
I don't think that it's an

719
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,680
incompetently made movie.
It's definitely like a severely

720
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,280
flawed script, but it's not.
We're not talking about like,

721
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,440
Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves
here.

722
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,480
No, we're not.
I mean, Bob, you, I gave this my

723
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,840
fourth worst rating.
You gave it the 6th worst rating

724
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,120
on your list.
Yeah, but then we also.

725
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,000
Right next to each other.
OK, that's fair.

726
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,520
I just feel like you really,
really crapped on this movie in

727
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,080
the episode about it.
Oh, that's because it deserves

728
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,840
it.
It's a garbage film it, but once

729
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,320
again, I think my anger is for
the fact that it could have been

730
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,640
so good.
Like the the pieces are there

731
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,280
and they nail them in certain
elements.

732
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:50,640
And then so much of that film is
hot, horrific garbage that it

733
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,640
just, it makes me angry.
And yeah, I am reading the

734
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,240
Disney of the decade following
back onto that film because I

735
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:02,520
think that film started a a lot
of the trends that we've seen in

736
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,880
Disney's decision making.
Process touché.

737
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,480
All right, so True Lies sounds
like it's moving on pretty

738
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,760
easily here.
Oh, no, I'm, I'm moving frozen

739
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,880
on Bob come.
On All right man, why don't you

740
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,680
introduce our next match up?
Yeah, so we now have the number

741
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:24,960
14 seed Rogue One, a Star Wars
story going up against The

742
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,880
Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion,
The Witch and the Wardrobe.

743
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,920
These are two movies that I feel
like remarkably ambivalent

744
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,880
about.
Rogue One.

745
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,720
I loved that movie in the
theater, and watching it again,

746
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,240
I was like, man, this is kind of
like a 6 1/2 movie.

747
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,320
And I ended up giving it a 7
1/2.

748
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,360
And it's mostly because of that
cool Vader scene.

749
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,360
But I was like, frankly kind of
bored watching it this time.

750
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,240
And Narnia has just always felt
like berate Lord of the Rings.

751
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:00,520
Like it, it's Lord of the Rings
made by less talented people,

752
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,040
despite what you think of how
good the story itself is.

753
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,160
Like the movie, just it, it
seemed like the JV squad showed

754
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,880
up to try to make a Lord of the
Rings movie.

755
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,800
So I I don't know man, where are
you at with this one?

756
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:18,000
I mean, at the end of the day,
we came out to a 7 1/2 average

757
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:24,280
for both of these films.
So I, I think I would lean

758
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,720
towards Chronicles of Narnia as
my choice to move on.

759
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,720
I I think Rogue One has a lot of
merits, but overall I think I'm

760
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:38,560
going to vote against it just
based on once again, what Disney

761
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,920
has done to the universe that
I'm just so unimpressed with.

762
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,760
So you're voting Rogue One?
No, I'm going to vote for

763
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,040
Chronicles of Narrative.
Move on.

764
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,600
I voted for Rogue One.
We can flip a coin.

765
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,960
I truly do not care.
Do you just want to move Narnia

766
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,360
on?
Bob, it's up to you.

767
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,320
This in order for it to move on,
it has to have two votes.

768
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,800
So you, you cast your vote where
you will.

769
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,320
I know where me and my house
lay.

770
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,720
Let's do this.
Let's flip the coin.

771
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,320
Let's let.
Let's let fate decide.

772
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,520
Rogue One is heads.
Narnia is tails.

773
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:18,280
Brad, flip the coin of destiny.
Bob, I have flipped a heads

774
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,840
meaning Rogue One will be moving
on to the next bracket.

775
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,400
OK, And that leaves us with only
two more matchups in this round

776
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,480
of 32.
The number 11 seed Armageddon up

777
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,800
against the number 22 seed
Goldeneye.

778
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,320
Goldeneye, a movie that I don't
know if I'd ever watched all the

779
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,480
way through before, and it had
been hailed as one of the best

780
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,400
James Bonds.
And I think that it is like half

781
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,320
of a great James Bond movie and
half of an absolutely awful

782
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,560
James Bond movie.
And they just kind of slapped

783
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,040
him together in a weird
Frankenstein E way.

784
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:53,920
Armageddon is a preposterous
film, but it is a Michael Bay

785
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,560
movie through and through.
And it has a very unique vision

786
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,520
to it.
And at the end of the day, that

787
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,920
was the deciding factor for me.
Armageddon moved on for me,

788
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,200
Brad.
Bob, I am with you 100%.

789
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,440
Armageddon is the better film.
The action is better.

790
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,480
There are so many great one
liners when the the group is

791
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,280
deciding like what they want
from the government if they

792
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,880
destroy the asteroid and they
just keep tacking things on

793
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,000
about like taxes and having
their criminals records stripped

794
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,880
like it's just wonderful.
So I like I'm with you.

795
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:37,120
Armageddon is moving on until
like a tank bursting out of a

796
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,960
wall at the last second, I
remembered I have to move

797
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,000
Goldeneye on because it has a
tank busting out of a wall.

798
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,960
It sure does.
It's the it's the greatest thing

799
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,400
I've ever seen.
And so I moved Goldeneye on.

800
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,640
It looks like we're going to
flip a coin because I have

801
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,640
Armageddon winning at least one
more round after this, too.

802
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,560
So I have to defend the honor of
Michael Bay here.

803
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,400
Armageddon is heads.
Goldeneye is tails.

804
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,360
I do not have the coin flip
thing pulled up, so I'm trusting

805
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:05,520
you, Brad.
Flip.

806
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,800
All right.
That coin?

807
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:18,720
Bob the Flip has come up in
favor of tanks bursting out of

808
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:21,400
walls.
Goldeneye is moving on.

809
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,880
Right, and that leaves us with
only one match up left.

810
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,080
Pirates of the Caribbean, The
curse of the Black Pearl, the

811
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,360
number six overall seed up
against JJ Abrams.

812
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:38,280
The Force Awakens at #27 I don't
even want to dignify JJ Abrams

813
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,400
with a conversation.
Brad.

814
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,520
Pirates of the Caribbean moves
on for me.

815
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,440
I'm ready as well.
Yeah, let's move pirates on.

816
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,640
All right, so in the Audrey
Hepburn quadrant, we're moving

817
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,960
on.
True Lies, Rogue One, Goldeneye,

818
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,280
and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The true dude bro quadrant of

819
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,360
all dude bro quadrants.
Yeah, very much so.

820
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:04,600
The This is a lot of action
movies, not much depth of

821
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,440
intellectual thought.
Brad, let's take a little break

822
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,920
here and then we'll come back
and we will whittle our 16 down

823
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:10,920
to 8.
What do you say?

824
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:19,120
Let's get to it.
All right, so we have 16 movies

825
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,520
to get through.
Brad, I have just poured out our

826
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,800
#4 whiskey of the season, one
that was a damn good whiskey on

827
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,480
its own merits, but is
affordable and is winning prizes

828
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,920
all over the place now.
And it comes direct from our

829
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,040
good friend Aaron Harris down at
Green River.

830
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,520
It's the Green River foolproof
bourbon.

831
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,080
Dude.
Now I can't say this is a daily

832
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:48,000
drinker for me because it's
foolproof, but like every time

833
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,080
I've just wanted to pour myself
some whiskey lately I've been

834
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,280
like, where's that Green River?
That stuff was really good.

835
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,920
This has become kind of like my
go to and even for people who

836
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,400
are just getting into higher
proof whiskey, I'm like, you got

837
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,640
to try this.
It's really affordable and I

838
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,080
feel like it's a crowd pleaser
even at a foolproof level.

839
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,840
Yeah, the Green River just hits
on so many levels and like you

840
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,080
said, it is affordable.
So if you have not gotten your

841
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,280
hands on the Green River
Foolproof Bourbon yet, you need

842
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,720
to get on it because man,
they're making some great, great

843
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:25,720
whiskey down there.
All right, man, we talked a lot

844
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:27,680
in that first round.
So I'm going to try to speed us

845
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,480
through this round of 16,
especially where it's a no

846
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,160
brainer.
And I think the first no brainer

847
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,480
for us is the number one seed up
against the number 17 seed.

848
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,200
Night at the Museum Up is a
better movie.

849
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,280
I don't think there's much
conversation that needs to be

850
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,400
had here, Brad.
Yeah, the up is moving on.

851
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,400
I freaking love that movie night
at the museum.

852
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,360
Good fun time.
But just like our friend Robin

853
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:55,120
Williams, it is all done for
memorial.

854
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,440
Oh my gosh, that's not how you
honor someone who died.

855
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,600
They're all done for.
Has he made anything new good?

856
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:11,120
Lord Brad, all right up is
moving on and that takes us to

857
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,280
the spicy take match up of all
spicy take match ups.

858
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,600
The Last Jedi up against Rise of
the Planet of the Apes.

859
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,760
I have already said Last Jedi is
in my final four, so I moved it

860
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,520
on here.
I assume you moved on Rise of

861
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:29,240
the Planet of the Apes.
Actually I I originally put

862
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:33,640
Passion of the Christ on.
You had Jesus defeating the apes

863
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:39,960
in in hand to hand combat.
That would be a heck of a movie,

864
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,120
Bob.
OK, so your your pick is just

865
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,360
completely eliminated.
Yeah.

866
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,920
Are you, are you, are you going
to put Planet of the Apes on

867
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,160
here?
I'm not even gonna Dane to

868
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,800
answer that question.
Do you want me to flip the coin

869
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:54,920
or do you want to flip the coin
you.

870
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,200
Can flip the coin.
I trust you.

871
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,480
Heads is.
Well I guess heads would be

872
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,000
Planet of the Apes.
It's the higher seed.

873
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,880
Tails is the last Jedi.
Flip the coin, Brad.

874
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:17,920
Bob Jesus has been resurrected
into avenge to avenge its loss

875
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,560
to the Last Jedi.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes

876
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,480
is moving on.
All right, so we've got up and

877
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:29,120
we've got Rise in this quadrant.
Moving on to the bottom

878
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,600
quadrant, the Jessica Chastain
Memorial.

879
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,600
We've got Toy Story 3 going up
against Star Wars The Phantom

880
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,040
Menace.
Now again, Brad, I will say Toy

881
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,120
Story three was my #1 ranked
movie of the year, and you did

882
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,960
in fact, put The Phantom Menace
as your fourth highest grossing

883
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,640
or highest grossing, your 4th
best movie of the season, which

884
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,280
was higher than Toy Story 3.
So now I'm curious, did you move

885
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,280
The Phantom Menace on over Toy
Story 3?

886
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:03,120
Bob, if I answer the question,
would I prefer to watch The

887
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:09,200
Phantom Menace one more time in
my life or Toy Story 3?

888
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,640
The it's such an easy answer.
I am choosing The Phantom Menace

889
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,600
to move.
On Oh my gosh, if somebody asked

890
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,920
me the question, would you like
$10 out of my wallet or would

891
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,200
you like to pay me $10.00 for me
to erase the memory of having

892
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,080
ever seen The Phantom Menace?
I would say let me give you $10

893
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:32,920
cuz that movie.
Are you trying to use the plot

894
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,640
of one of my most hated films of
this podcast history to get me

895
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:38,520
on your side?
Are.

896
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,920
We gonna Eternal Sunshine, The
Phantom Menace.

897
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,440
I mean, that's what you're
trying to do.

898
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,920
Also, what a cool title for a
movie that would be Eternal

899
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,200
Sunshine of the Phantom Menace.
Dude, that's pretty dope.

900
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,760
Yeah, all right, let's flip the
coin, man.

901
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,000
Toy Story 3 is heads.
Phantom Menace is tails.

902
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,840
Now, Brad, I will spoil
everything before you flip this

903
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,800
coin.
Toy Story 3 is the winner of my

904
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,640
bracket.
Oh my goodness.

905
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,680
So if you knock it out here, I
might be legitimately pissed

906
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,080
off.
Don't be pissing me Bob.

907
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:20,880
Be mad at the Coin of destiny,
Robert.

908
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:26,600
The coin has spoken and you do
not have to quit the podcast

909
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,480
because Toy Story 3 is moving
on.

910
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,040
Thank.
God, I think that's one of the

911
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,680
few ones where everyone
listening to this podcast is

912
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:39,760
going to be like, Bob's pick was
objectively right, like IMDI.

913
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,680
Don't know about that.
IMDb score is like almost two

914
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,840
full points higher for Toy Story
3 than it is for The Phantom

915
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,600
Menace dude.
Toy Story 3 is a great movie, I

916
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,240
I liked it, It's no phantom
menace.

917
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,440
Oh my gosh, no it's not.
And that is a badge of honor

918
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:58,920
which takes us to Home Alone.
No, not Home alone.

919
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,120
We knocked that out.
Independence Day up against

920
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,920
American Sniper.
Do I spoil Brad's party again?

921
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,600
That's up to you, man.
You liked American Sniper?

922
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,800
I did like American Sniper and I
think American Sniper is just an

923
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,000
objectively better movie.
It's.

924
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,680
Such a great movie.
Yeah, American Sniper moved on

925
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,040
for me, Brad.
Like I I think back to was it

926
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:32,480
last season or the year before
when we watched Zero Dark 30 and

927
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,680
what, what was the other film
the the bomb film?

928
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:39,240
Oh, the Hurt Locker.
Yeah, we watched Hurt Locker in

929
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:42,480
Zero Dark 30.
I feel like American Sniper is

930
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:49,000
like the peak, like the
perfected form of that genre of

931
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,120
film.
Brad, I'm going to be honest

932
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:54,720
with you.
I just checked my bracket and I

933
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:58,000
absolutely did put Independence
Day on over American Sniper.

934
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,040
No, you.
Didn't.

935
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,200
I did.
But here's what I'm I'm trying

936
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,280
to I know in my head that
American Sniper is the better

937
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,120
movie, OK?
However, if we move American

938
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:13,200
Sniper on, I I expect that you
will pick that over Toy Story 3

939
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,160
in the next round.
So do I just try to sabotage

940
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:21,000
things by hoping a coin flip
will move Independence Day

941
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,440
further on in this thing?
I'm not going to do that.

942
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,640
I will respect the integrity of
the bracket and I will move

943
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,520
American Sniper on.
But so help me if that fake

944
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:34,640
plastic baby doll from American
Sniper beats Toy Story 3, I'm

945
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,840
going to be so mad.
Fake plastic baby doll.

946
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,640
Did we not talk about that
during the episode?

947
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,400
Oh dude, the the one scene where
they're like arguing and he's

948
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,200
trying to like shush the baby
the whole time.

949
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,160
It's not even like a
professional doll.

950
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,920
It's like they went to the store
and got like the crappiest baby

951
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,320
doll and like it's egregious,
dude.

952
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,560
I did not notice that.
Oh man, I'll have to send you

953
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:58,760
clips.
It's really funny.

954
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,240
Yeah.
All right, American Sniper's

955
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:03,320
moving on here.
And that takes us to the upper

956
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,600
right quadrant, The fugitive
versus Shrek.

957
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,320
Do we need a conversation here?
No, OK, no.

958
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,840
Shrek's moving on.
Is obviously moving on.

959
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:21,040
Yeah, Bob, I, you know, Shrek's
a great film, Fugitive.

960
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,400
Incredible film.
Easily moving on.

961
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:27,640
And that takes us to one of the
more unique matchups of our

962
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:32,160
bracket Rain Man versus The
Avengers, which sounds like the

963
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:37,720
world's worst comic book.
Yeah, Rain Man.

964
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,720
Rain Man like walks out of one
of the portals and he and he's

965
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:46,400
like 417,287 bad guys.
They're they're right over

966
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:50,920
there.
OK, I moved The Avengers on

967
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,120
rain.
Man's a good movie.

968
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:57,160
I I just really think that the
original Avengers is, it's not

969
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,760
perfect, but it's kind of like
the platonic ideal of what a

970
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,360
Marvel movie should look like.
And it's a really fun time at

971
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,280
the movies.
So I moved The Avengers on here.

972
00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:10,760
Oh man, I this was probably one
of the hardest decisions for me

973
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,480
because I really love Rain Man.
I I think the story of brotherly

974
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,640
love being developed is really
incredible.

975
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:24,560
And I think it's I almost want
to move Rain Man on just as like

976
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:30,200
an homage to quiet dramas that
people used to love to go to.

977
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:36,200
But I but also I wasn't, I was
just say I wasn't born in the

978
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,800
70s or 80s Dog day afternoon
doesn't do it for me.

979
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:44,480
Rain Man, great movie.
I'm going to go with The

980
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,120
Avengers.
All right, so Fugitive and

981
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,680
Avengers are moving on and that
takes us to our last two

982
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:56,080
matchups in the round of 16,
True Lies versus Rogue One.

983
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,160
This was not difficult for me,
Brad.

984
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:02,200
I really do think that True Lies
has a chance to play spoiler

985
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:07,120
throughout this bracket because
it is such a fun, silly but

986
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:12,320
incredibly well made movie and
like every other kind of

987
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,600
blockbustery fun time at the
movies movie that it's going to

988
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,320
come up against, I think it just
does it better.

989
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,760
So True Lies like kind of
dominated on this side of the

990
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:26,080
bracket for me.
Yeah, no, True Lies is easily a

991
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:31,120
better film than Rogue One to
point out one specific thing.

992
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,280
Jamie Lee Curtis is incredible
in that movie.

993
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,640
Yeah, I I mean, she plays so
many different roles so

994
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:44,640
incredibly well, even if if you
have not seen it, but you have

995
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,920
seen Everything Everywhere All
at Once.

996
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:53,360
Like her character in Everything
Everywhere All at Once is what

997
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,520
would have happened if the
character from True Lies never

998
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:01,320
went on an adventure, right?
Like, and and she plays that so

999
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,480
well.
And yet she also plays this like

1000
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:08,880
action sex symbol spy so
incredibly well.

1001
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,840
So yeah, True Lies.
Great film.

1002
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,400
OK, that leaves us with just one
match up here, and it's

1003
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:15,800
Armageddon.
No, it's not.

1004
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,320
And it's Goldeneye versus
Pirates of the Caribbean, the

1005
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,520
Curse of the Black Pearl.
Now, I had Armageddon winning

1006
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,480
this round as well, and it got
knocked out.

1007
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:30,200
So that leaves me kind of a a
man stranded here, but I think

1008
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:32,680
number.
Six seed Bob.

1009
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,400
Yeah, dude, Pirates is a better,
You like it better than I do.

1010
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,080
Like, I think it's a really
solid 7 1/2 and you were like,

1011
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:43,440
this is a 9 1/2 movie, but it's
better than Goldeneye, so there

1012
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,280
you go.
Yeah, 100% Pirates of the

1013
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,600
Caribbean.
We haven't talked about it much

1014
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,880
yet.
Incredible movie and it's moving

1015
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,360
on over Goldeneye.
So there you have it, we are

1016
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,360
down to 8 movies.
We did it Brad in just under an

1017
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:02,440
hour.
And here are the 8 films up Rise

1018
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:08,080
of the Planet of the Apes, Toy
Story 3, American Sniper, The

1019
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:13,800
Fugitive, The Avengers, True
Lies, and Pirates of the

1020
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,680
Caribbean.
I have used the word dude bro a

1021
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,160
lot but holy shit dude.
Like this is.

1022
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,640
There is no brief encounter to
balance things out this season,

1023
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,280
Brett.
No, no, this is like I said,

1024
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:30,360
this is a really weird season.
I I don't think I realized what

1025
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,320
we were getting into when we
said we were just going to do

1026
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,720
like top grossing films from the
last 32 years.

1027
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,200
But here we are, man.
I mean, up up kind of balances

1028
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,320
it out a little bit.
It's not a dude bro movie.

1029
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,720
It's a movie about two dudes
being Bros.

1030
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,840
That's right, they are hanging
out with a bird, you know what I

1031
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,720
mean?
OK, so there you have it folks.

1032
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,880
We'd like to know what you think
of our what do you want to call

1033
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,720
this?
Our round of eight that's left

1034
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,280
here.
You can let us know what what

1035
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,000
did we knock out that we
shouldn't have knocked out?

1036
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,440
What has gotten way too far
along in the process here.
