The Princess Bride / Bushmills Red Bush

1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,700
In 1987 director, Rob, Reiner
and Star, Andre the Giant gave

2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:08,300
the world a hilariously epic.
Children's story, that will

3
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:13,400
sweep you off your feet in 2022.
We returned to Ireland, to try

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,100
another in a long line of
popular Whiskey's.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,700
The film is The Princess Bride,
the whiskey is Bushmills red

6
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:25,700
bush and we'll review them both.
This is the film and whiskey

7
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:45,700
podcast.
Welcome to the film and whiskey

8
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:48,800
podcast, where each week, we
review a classic movie and a

9
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,300
glass of whiskey.
I'm Bob book, I'm Reggie.

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,500
And this week, we're looking at
the 1987 film, The Princess

11
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:59,800
Bride.
We're rounding out a mini series

12
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,200
of Three movies by director, Rob
Reiner, and we have gone kind of

13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,500
out of analyze it.
Kind of, we've gone out of

14
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:10,300
chronological order here.
We started in 1990 with Misery,

15
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,600
we jumped ahead a couple years
to A Few Good Men and now we are

16
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,300
returning to the late 80s with
our buddy.

17
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:18,400
Rob to look at The Princess
Bride.

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,100
Perhaps his most beloved film
question mark.

19
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:25,700
I mean, actually is most famous.
I don't know, man, When Harry

20
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,100
Met Sally, he's got to be up
there in both categories.

21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Oh yeah, that's true.
And A Few Good Men.

22
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,200
I just like the man just makes
good maybes.

23
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:36,500
I was going to say, how did you
make such good movies, man?

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,700
I mean, listen to this run.
So he does this a spinal tap in

25
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:42,000
84?
He follows it up in 85 with the

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,100
movie called the sure thing
which is not a classic but it's

27
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,200
a well-liked movie.
He follows that up in 86 with

28
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,600
stand by me then The Princess
Bride.

29
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,400
When Harry Met Sally misery and
A Few Good Men all back to back.

30
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:59,700
Wow, like what a run to I was
going to say, tell me how many

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Directors have a run of six,
seven movies like that.

32
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:06,400
That's better, like, kind of
insane.

33
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:13,500
Like that are all be to a -
movies with a few like true

34
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,700
All-Stars, pepper didn't.
And it like, like, When Harry

35
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:19,200
Met Sally is one of the best
romantic comedies of all time.

36
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:21,800
Well, in The Princess Bride.
And of course, we're going to

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,200
get into talking about this
today, but like I said, it has

38
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,200
not just a cult following you,
right?

39
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,500
It's not like a small group of
people, but there is a Devoted

40
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:33,000
fanbase of The Princess Bride
Brad.

41
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,400
I, you know, I remember, I dated
a girl in college that was

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,600
really into The Princess Bride,
and her whole family had watched

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,700
it when they were growing up,
and she knew every line.

44
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:44,700
And like, that wasn't me.
That wasn't my experience

45
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:47,400
growing up, but something tells
me that they're not.

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,800
The only ones that are like
that.

47
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:52,600
I know that this is an endlessly
quotable film, and there are a

48
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,100
lot of people out there that
hold, this screenplay by William

49
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:59,300
Goldman, in really high regard.
Yeah.

50
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:03,300
And and I will say like my first
time watching it was I think

51
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:07,100
sophomore year of high school I
was on a school field trip out

52
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:12,300
to Boston and I remember some
friends had like a you remember

53
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:15,200
the portable DVD players?
Oh yeah.

54
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,800
They were watching The Princess
Bride and I watched like three

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,800
minutes of it with them right?
When they're in the fire swamp

56
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:28,300
and the Met like the the rodents
of unusual size who are clearly

57
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:32,400
just And in really gross.
Yeah, rodents costumes like

58
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,700
attacked him.
And I just looked at my friends

59
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:37,700
and I was like, what are you
watching?

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,900
This is the dumbest thing I've
ever seen in my life and they're

61
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:44,900
like, oh it's The Princess.
Bride is a great movie man.

62
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:49,000
And I was like, now, this is not
a great movie, this is terrible.

63
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,300
And so I just went for many many
years after that, it probably

64
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:56,400
wasn't until like post-college
where I watched it and was like,

65
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,800
oh this is a great movie.
So here's where I'm at with the

66
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,300
princes bride.
It's really hard for me to know

67
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:08,900
what elements of this movie are
done on purpose and which ones

68
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,000
aren't.
And I don't mean like the silly

69
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,600
elements of it or things like
that, but you're talking about

70
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,700
the rodents of unusual size.
I actually loved that scene in

71
00:04:17,707 --> 00:04:21,600
this movie even though you could
clearly tell that it was people

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,900
in a large rodent costume.
Yep.

73
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,700
Because there was something
about the way that those things

74
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:31,400
jumped on Cary Elwes has
character and there's like such

75
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,400
a weight to it and you can tell
that he's really fighting with

76
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,700
something on camera in real
life.

77
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:40,400
And after years, and years and
years of horrible CGI,

78
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,700
everything that has a
weightlessness to it.

79
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:46,100
I was like I would take this any
day of the week.

80
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,100
Over another CGI rat.
You know what I mean?

81
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:53,100
Oh, 100%.
And like the other part of it is

82
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:57,000
they say that like every comedy
is all about timing, right?

83
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:00,800
The moment when He says, what
line does he say?

84
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,500
He goes rodents of unusual size.
I don't think they exist.

85
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,500
Yeah.
And it's like the moment and I

86
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:13,800
think that's like it illustrates
everything that Reiner does

87
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,600
properly in this movie that his
his comedic timing.

88
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:20,800
I don't know if we've seen many
directors with better comedic

89
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,200
timing than Rob Reiner.
Well, so that gets me back to

90
00:05:23,207 --> 00:05:26,000
what I was just saying which is
like there are elements of this

91
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,700
movie that look really cheesy.
And Really fake, right?

92
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:33,200
It's 1987 and of course, you
know, certain elements of our

93
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,000
technology have advanced since
then.

94
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:38,400
But there's also a sense that
some of this is being done on

95
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,800
purpose because it's supposed to
be a fairy tale and not just a

96
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:44,800
fairy tale but a fairy tale
where everyone is in on the joke

97
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:49,300
like it's very clearly a joke,
fairy tale in a similar way that

98
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,500
you would talk about like Shrek,
you know what I mean?

99
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:56,100
Like this is a this is a pretend
children's story within a story

100
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:59,000
being told to a sick
ten-year-old in the You know, in

101
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,100
the world of this movie.
So I understand that like they

102
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:05,900
might be trying to make the
movie look even more fake than

103
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:08,300
usual, but then you kind of run
into this thing.

104
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:10,500
We've been talking about with
Reiner for the last couple of

105
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:16,500
weeks, which is, I don't always
know if his visual sense is up

106
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:20,200
to par because for a good
portion of this movie, it kind

107
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,400
of looks like it's being lit
with fluorescent lights like in

108
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,800
an office building.
Like it's just even though

109
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,200
they're inside of a castle, like
the lighting can be very And

110
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,800
then all, you know, all of a
sudden you'll get a shot, like,

111
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:35,400
Inigo Montoya annealing with his
sword, in the air, and it's the

112
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400
greatest most cinematic shot
ever.

113
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,300
And then you'll go back to 18
shots in a row that looked like

114
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,900
they were shot, you know, in
somebody's garage and it's just

115
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:48,600
really hard for me to be able to
parse out this movie in terms of

116
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,400
like what's intentional and
what's not.

117
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,900
Yeah, it seems like he would
have had had to have had a,

118
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:57,200
something of, a decent budget
for this.

119
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,900
I mean, you know, this Point.
He's gotten Stand By Me, spinal

120
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:03,600
tap.
Like I feel like it's not like

121
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,900
he's just some indie director at
this point.

122
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:08,900
So if it feels like he should
have had a little bit of money

123
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,100
to up the production budget a
little bit, but I agree.

124
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:18,800
Like they're many of the sets
look like built sets that had

125
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,700
like you said I fluorescent
lighting almost.

126
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:23,600
Yeah.
But the lighting just doesn't

127
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,200
often make sense and I think
it's really clear when they're

128
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,600
being fake on purpose but Then
there are also times where it

129
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,800
seems like oh no.
They're really trying here and

130
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,300
it just doesn't look right.
I don't know.

131
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,600
I just, you know, I think part
of that is the fact that Rob

132
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,100
Reiner comes from TV and you
know, he doesn't necessarily

133
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:46,700
have the Hollywood pedigree but
I mean, you know, definitely

134
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:48,800
like literally has the Hollywood
pedigree.

135
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,200
How we're gonna, we haven't
talked about, you know, his dad

136
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,600
being Carl Reiner at all the
whole time.

137
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,100
We've been doing these three
weeks of Rob Reiner.

138
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,300
I mean, he comes from Hollywood
royalty, the man is, you know,

139
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,200
he's made good but he's a
nepotism baby in a A lot of

140
00:08:04,207 --> 00:08:05,600
ways.
Yeah.

141
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,800
Hey man, you know, harsh there,
that help who your parents are I

142
00:08:09,808 --> 00:08:11,100
guess?
Well, I was just saying, what's

143
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:12,400
wrong with a little bit of
nepotism.

144
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Asked the offensive coordinator
of the Iowa Hawkeyes, I was

145
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,300
gonna say, look at the the
friends family, man.

Bob you keep using the word

173
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:44,500
blue, and I don't think that
word means what you think it

174
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:49,900
means should, I should I say
blue, there you go.

175
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,900
Alright, let's get into Brad
explains.

176
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:55,900
This is the part of the podcast,
where Brad breaks down the plot

177
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:59,200
of the movie that he has just
seen often for the first time.

178
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,300
This was not Brad's first time
seeing The Princess Bride, which

179
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:06,400
means These 60 seconds should be
pretty easy for you to fit the

180
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,400
plot into Brad.
You got a minute on the clock

181
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,200
and go.
Wow, Fred Savage lies in his bed

182
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,300
sick at home.
His grandfather comes to tell

183
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:19,300
him a fairy tale to help keep
his mind off of being sick.

184
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,400
The story is about a farm boy,
who is goes off to make a

185
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,200
fortune to win his love.
He is captured by a pirate.

186
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,600
His love goes to marry the
prince The farm boy turned.

187
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,900
Pirate comes back to Rescue his
princess in a, in a series of

188
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:42,400
Daring adventures and he
eventually fights off death

189
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,600
itself to make it back and
rescue his true love.

190
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,500
There you go.
Alright.

191
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,100
Brad, where do you want to start
today?

192
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:50,600
Do you want to start with Rob,
right?

193
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,200
I feel like we've kind of
already touched on Reiner a

194
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:53,700
little bit.
Do you want to keep going with

195
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:55,500
Reiner?
Do you want to jump into this

196
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,600
screenplay?
Do you want to start talking

197
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,200
performances?
I want to talk about the star of

198
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,500
this movie.
The one and only Andre the Giant

199
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,400
dude.
It's not Andre the Giant.

200
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:16,700
This is Andre Renee the ruse.
Mm-hmm, dude.

201
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:22,300
I just all I know about this man
is that he might be the largest

202
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:26,300
human being to live on this
Earth since Goliath and Biblical

203
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,300
times.
And his, have you ever seen the

204
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:32,900
picture of him holding a beer?
Can, yes.

205
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,800
It is yes, the most wild thing
I've ever seen in my life.

206
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,600
I've watched so many
documentaries about Andre the

207
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,200
Giant at this point in my life.
That I mean, I've heard all the

208
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,000
stories, right?
The he would drink literally

209
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,100
like 120 beers or something.
And one sitting, which is also

210
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:53,000
like, you know, I feel bad
talking about his untimely

211
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,600
death, but like, that might have
contributed just a bit probably

212
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,100
not, you know, no.
Oh, come on now.

213
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:03,600
Definitely not.
I mean, the man was 74 500-plus.

214
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:10,300
Pounds and I'm not going to lie.
He and Mandy Patinkin might have

215
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:15,500
the best chemistry of any duo.
In any movie we have ever

216
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:18,800
watched they're just wonderful.
Like I mean it's here's the

217
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,200
thing I really feel like I'm
going to be playing bad cop on

218
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,500
this episode and I don't mean to
be because this movie is

219
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:28,100
charming as hell.
And I enjoy it so much, but of

220
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:30,700
all the people, you could have
started talking about the

221
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:33,500
performances with Brad.
You had to start with Andre the

222
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:39,500
Giant whom whom I love and who
is incredibly endearing.

223
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:46,000
Yes, but thank God for subtitles
on Disney plus streaming.

224
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:52,100
Like, even with the subtitles I
had to like, press pause and go

225
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:55,300
back and listen.
Again, because the man's grasp

226
00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:59,800
on the English language is just
not sound and not very firm.

227
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:03,700
Like like he's just really, he's
not a good actor in the first.

228
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,200
Place, which you could forgive
because he's Andre the Giant.

229
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,800
And like, where else are you
going to get a 7-foot for 500

230
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,300
pound person to act in your
movie but like he can't deliver

231
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:15,500
lines like his mouth.
Just won't make the words.

232
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,300
No, they won't.
And I think that's what makes

233
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:24,100
him so perfect.
Is the hey the fact that Mandy

234
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:30,600
Patinkin has such an endearing
love for Andre the Giant, like I

235
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,900
guess I should say any go and
fezzik have such A brotherhood

236
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:40,000
and like a deep lasting
connection that there's

237
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,800
something about that, that makes
Andre the Giant that like you

238
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,400
said, he is charming and
endearing and his accent is so

239
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,700
bad.
That I don't know if I ever

240
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:53,800
fully picked up on the rhyming
joke, right?

241
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,700
Start of the movie which is a
major component of the movie,

242
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,800
like it comes back three times I
think.

243
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,900
Yeah.
And it's brilliant.

244
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:05,900
Like it is some of the it's some
of the Best comedic writing and

245
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,600
acting that I've ever seen
except for the part where,

246
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:11,500
unless you accept of the apples
on.

247
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:14,000
Yeah.
Well, not the acting part.

248
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,400
Just the line delivery.
There's more to acting than just

249
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,600
just speaking.
Bob.

250
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:22,500
Yeah, man, I just, I really
struggle with Andre the Giant

251
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:25,000
because, like you said, he and
Mandy Patinkin.

252
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Have incredible chemistry.
And the funny part of this, this

253
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,500
movie is that certain actors
have to take their rules.

254
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:37,100
Seriously for the movie to work
like Mandy Patinkin has to play

255
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:39,900
this completely straight and
even somebody like Chris

256
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:43,600
Sarandon as you know the evil
Prince, he's playing it

257
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,900
seriously what Bob Prince
Humperdinck?

258
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,800
There we go.
So he's playing it seriously but

259
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,700
he's also playing.
He's Hamming it up on purpose,

260
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:53,700
right?
Like it is an overshot villain,

261
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,900
whereas Mandy Patinkin is
playing this as if he's like

262
00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:01,500
trying to win an Oscar in a
drama and yeah he's taking the

263
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:03,600
Spanish accent.
So seriously.

264
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:06,600
Instead of just doing like the
normal Hollywood thing of like

265
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:09,900
I'm an American, who's going to
kind of speak with a Spanish

266
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:11,400
accent and that's what you're
going to get.

267
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:14,900
He's like he does that he kind
of slurs his words a little bit

268
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,100
where you normally would when
you have a Spanish accent and he

269
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:21,000
elides certain words together
and things like that.

270
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,900
And so at times you're like what
did Mandy Patinkin just say and

271
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:29,100
then and so they're just whole
scenes that hang in the balance

272
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,500
between Mandy Patinkin and Andre
the Giant and I only understood

273
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,800
like five words.
Between the two of them but you

274
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,600
walk away from that scene, still
being entertained and amused.

275
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:45,400
I got so man even though you
don't know what they said, I

276
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,900
think a fun way to do this Brad.
I'm looking for the cast list

277
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:51,600
right now and obviously there
are certain people in this movie

278
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,900
that pop up like Billy Crystal
and Carol, Kane and extended

279
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:57,900
cameos, Peter Cook as the
clergyman.

280
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:01,900
But there's really like nine
people in this movie that have

281
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:04,600
speaking parts that are
Stanshall, okay.

282
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:09,700
So Cary Elwes Robin right?
Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant.

283
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:12,600
You've got Chris Sarandon
Christopher, Guest Wallace,

284
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,400
Shawn and then Fred Savage and
Peter Falk.

285
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,400
I think that would be like the
cast if I could call them that.

286
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:22,200
Yeah, I kind of want to like
power rank the people in this

287
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,300
movie and I'm be really
interested to hear.

288
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,000
Maybe the way to do it is just
kind of like walk from number

289
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,800
nine up to number one.
And give me some candidates for

290
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,300
who you think is the Ninth Place
person in this movie.

291
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,400
I was going to say now.
What are you?

292
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,800
What are we judging on
Effectiveness within the movie.

293
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,900
Actual just acting ability.
Kind of both.

294
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,200
I mean, like, you know, is your
character interesting Ru?

295
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Ru charismatic?
Are you memorable?

296
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,600
Are you a good actor?
Like all those the, you know,

297
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Andre, the Giant is the worst
actor here by a lot, right?

298
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,600
Yeah, I don't know if I would
power ranked him number 9 in

299
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,599
this movie.
Now, number 9, Number 9.

300
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:12,200
Is he real with?
No, no, I was gonna say.

301
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Number nine is Robin, right?
But I think just gives choose

302
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,500
Gonna Be My Number 8, this gets
at the problem of movies like

303
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:22,300
this, like Beauty and the Beast.
We talked about this beauty,

304
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,800
like Belle and the Beast are the
two least interesting

305
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,000
characters.
In that movie The Supporting

306
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,100
roles are always more, flashy,
and flamboyant, and charismatic,

307
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:33,800
and memorable in movies like
this.

308
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,500
I think Cary Elwes is
phenomenal, and he has to do a

309
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,900
lot of Physical comedy,
especially at the end of the

310
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,800
movie where he can't quite walk
anymore.

311
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,700
And it reminded me of a lot of
the pratfalls that they made

312
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:49,300
like Neil Patrick Harris.
Do on How I Met Your Mother.

313
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:51,300
Yeah, yeah, there was a lot of
that going on here.

314
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,900
So he has like one foot in kind
of, like, the classic Vaudeville

315
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:58,400
style of Comedy.
Robin Wright's character, it's

316
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,100
me there.
Robin Wright's at the bottom.

317
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:03,200
Robin Wright has nothing to do
in this movie and she's a great

318
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,200
actress and I love her to death,
but like you could have put a

319
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,900
cardboard cut out of a human
being in her place and just

320
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,200
voiced over like no Prince
Humperdinck and it would have

321
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,500
had the same effect and I feel
like you could have done that

322
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,200
and people would be like yeah
it's The Princess Bride that's

323
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,800
why it's so funny and Brilliant.
And I again I feel bad saying

324
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,000
that because it's not like Robin
Wright.

325
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,900
Does anything inherently wrong
here?

326
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:34,400
It tasted like she's supposed to
be mopey and she does that and

327
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,300
that's it.
Her, her stunt double does a

328
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:39,200
phenomenal.
Old job of falling down that

329
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,900
hill just her Cletus km.
Lee, male stunt up with an

330
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:47,200
awesome.
Awesome.

331
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Blond wig.
Oh my gosh.

332
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,200
All right, let's go number
eight.

333
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,500
Who would you put in here?
I think I'd probably put Cary

334
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,100
Elwes.
All right, I like ideality of

335
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:01,300
good.
I enjoy his vaudevillian humor

336
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,700
but similarly the Buttercup.
He just kind of plays one

337
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:07,100
character.
He's kind of a one-note

338
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:10,000
character throughout.
The entire thing, I get that I

339
00:19:10,008 --> 00:19:14,800
think that this movie Works
significantly less.

340
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,000
Well if you have an actor in
here with worst comic timing.

341
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,700
Yeah.
It it's saying something about

342
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:25,600
how well he's able to deliver
lines like you seemed a decent

343
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,000
fellow.
I hate to die like that's it's a

344
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,600
great line and he just, yeah, I
think that's why he's probably

345
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,400
top three for me honestly, man.
But Lissa, I'll put him at.

346
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,000
I'll put him at 8:00.
Whoa, I didn't realize this is

347
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,500
our combined if you're putting
in that high.

348
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,100
Well, who are you thinking in
the Ada?

349
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,000
I don't know, man.
I feel like everyone kind of

350
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,600
like morphs together and then
there's a couple standouts,

351
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,600
right?
Like I don't know, we could put

352
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Fred Savage at eight like he
doesn't really do much except

353
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,800
sit in the bed.
Yeah, that's fine.

354
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:57,600
Fred Savage and a Fred Savage,
who do you guys 7?

355
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,600
I don't know, man, how are you
feeling about Peter Falk?

356
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:08,500
He has a little bit of like a
lazy eye going on and I freaking

357
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,900
love it.
Are you see, is that these are

358
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:13,800
you allowed to say that in 2022?
Or you like to call it a lazy

359
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,200
eye?
Is that like, is that like

360
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:18,500
incorrect now?
Yeah.

361
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:22,100
I mean, maybe it's just like a
slightly unmotivated.

362
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:24,900
I that's been oppressed by his
other eye.

363
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,500
I don't know.
Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful.

364
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:32,700
Cake is an incredible actor and
I mean, I love Jambo.

365
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:35,000
I think it's really interesting
to see him in this movie,

366
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,200
because he's only 60 years old
in this movie, and they clearly

367
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,200
have him made up to look much
older than he is.

368
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:44,200
And they don't really make him
up very well.

369
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,100
It kind of looks like how we did
old age makeup in like high

370
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:51,500
school when we were doing like
theater and they were just like

371
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:53,800
draw lines on your forehead to
make you look like you had

372
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,800
deeper creases and yep and he's
wearing this wig.

373
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,100
That is so clearly a wig.
And I think that that's one of

374
00:21:01,108 --> 00:21:03,600
the areas where I'm like, Is
this on purpose because this

375
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,400
isn't the fairy tale part of the
movie.

376
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,200
Like why is Peter Falk six?
Who is 60 years old?

377
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,700
I just don't get it.
Yeah, I think that where he wins

378
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:20,700
the day is like he's the most
Charming grandpa I think that

379
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:24,300
has ever existed.
Yeah and he just has a way of

380
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,600
interacting with Fred Savage
that I think, shows how

381
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,700
important it is to have really
experienced actors with child

382
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:33,800
actors.
Hours to help kind of draw a

383
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,300
good performance out of them.
Because I think that the the

384
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:38,200
scene, you know, there's only a
few of them but the scenes

385
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:44,500
between Savage & Falk are really
actually really incredible and

386
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:47,700
it honestly makes me think about
the way we've been scouring our

387
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:51,400
directors.
I feel like reinders highest

388
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,300
category might end up be the way
he works with addict actors

389
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,300
because it just seems like he
continues to get great

390
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:00,900
performances out of people.
All right.

391
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:03,500
I will put Cary Elwes at six
because I don't want to put them

392
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,500
to high based on how you feel
about him.

393
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:10,800
If you will put Andre the Giant
at Five, I'll put them at five.

394
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,200
Alright, I think that's fair.
All right, so that gives us for

395
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800
people to talk about here, we've
got Wallace, Shawn, we've got

396
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,500
Christopher Guest, Chris
Sarandon, and Mandy Patinkin.

397
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:22,800
And I'm going to kind of go in
the opposite order here, Brad

398
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,800
because I'm thinking about, this
was going to be my big reveal.

399
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:30,000
I think, Christopher Guest might
steal this whole movie.

400
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,300
And I'm really surprised to say
that because his character is

401
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:37,400
like a nothing character.
And he's kind of also Hamming it

402
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,000
up but also not having it.
I don't know how to explain it.

403
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,100
It's like it's like if you took
Jeremy Irons as Scar in The Lion

404
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:51,700
King but told him to do it as
subdued as possible.

405
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:54,300
So there are still elements of
his character that are

406
00:22:54,300 --> 00:23:01,000
over-the-top and campy but he
does it in such a like Strained

407
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
way.
He never liked gets very

408
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,800
emotional throughout the movie
and eat when he's menacing.

409
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,900
He's really menacing.
And when he has a line, that

410
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:12,600
makes him look like a buffoon,
he he says it in such a straight

411
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,000
way that it almost takes you a
second.

412
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,300
And and I think honestly to part
of it is like he came up in a

413
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,500
Few Good Men and we forgot to
talk about him like he's in that

414
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:24,900
movie for a hot second.
And it's so it's just so

415
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:29,300
interesting to see you know,
Nigel from spinal tap show up in

416
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:31,700
a Few Good Men.
And then show up in this movie

417
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:35,500
and play three completely
different characters that are so

418
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:38,300
well constructed that you forget
that it's Nigel.

419
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:40,800
From spinal tap?
Yeah, I was going to say

420
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,800
Christopher Guest was my number
two.

421
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:46,600
Hmm.
He just has an incredible

422
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,500
presence about him that even
when he's next to, you know,

423
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:54,800
Prince Humperdinck.
It feels like he's the one who's

424
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,300
really in control like he's the
master hot mine behind the whole

425
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:01,800
situation and I think it's
Because of what you said that he

426
00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:06,400
he is almost like clinically
devoid of emotions.

427
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,700
Yeah.
Like he has this psychotic.

428
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,400
Killer feel about him where your
but the fact that he's in a

429
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,300
comedy and he's just interested
in the science of pain and

430
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:23,400
suffering your kind of like he's
like over-the-top evil like

431
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,700
clearly the most evil person out
of everybody in this movie and

432
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:35,200
yet the way he delivers the line
fascinating just as Cary Elwes

433
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,600
is just screaming on the torture
machine just is brilliant and so

434
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,000
yeah I'm with you.
That I think guest is a

435
00:24:42,008 --> 00:24:45,000
phenomenal part of this movie.
So would Patinkin be your number

436
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,900
one?
Then dude, when his seen when

437
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,200
guests stabs him a few times and
like, throws the knife into his

438
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,900
gut and he just slowly builds
and builds and builds.

439
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,500
I like got the freaking chills
man.

440
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,800
What?
And when he tells him to bag yes

441
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,300
because beg beg for your life
because anything, anything I'll

442
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:10,200
give you money, I'll give you
power everything I have and more

443
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,700
And the way he delivers, I want
my father back, you son of a

444
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:20,400
bitch, it's such a good lab so
it's worthy of like, the most

445
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,500
epic of Epic movies.
It's a better line than hello.

446
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:28,200
My name is Inigo Montoya.
It's a better line than you

447
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,900
seemed a decent fellow.
I hate to kill you.

448
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:33,100
It's, it's the best line.
It's better than inconceivable,

449
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:35,100
which is the big movement a
smoothie, right?

450
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:38,400
It's the best line in the film
and easily.

451
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,300
It's because there's such an
emotional payoff.

452
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,900
But it also makes me wonder if
William Goldman is the one who

453
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:46,900
wrote the son of a line in A Few
Good Men.

454
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:49,000
Because remember, we talked
about how even though that is a

455
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,300
Sorkin script Goldman came in
and touched it up a little bit.

456
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:54,200
Hmm.
And I thought my favorite line

457
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,500
in A Few Good Men is when he
says you're under arrest, you

458
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:58,400
son of a bitch like so maybe.
Yeah.

459
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,700
He's just has the key to good
lines and it's just ending it

460
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:06,400
with your son of a.
It seems like a pretty easy way

461
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,200
to do it for.
So for all you young

462
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,700
screenwriters out there today.
Take note, I do think that

463
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:16,400
Patinkin also gets the second
best line of the movie which in

464
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,200
my opinion is the best comedic
line when they're on the boat

465
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,800
sailing across the sea of eels.
And he looks back and he goes, I

466
00:26:25,808 --> 00:26:29,700
wonder if they're using the same
Windows us Patinkin.

467
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
The thing about Patinkin to is
like underrated comic timing and

468
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,600
he has my favorite comedic
moment of the whole movie, where

469
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,600
he's sword, fighting with Cary,
Elwes and Then it's like, who

470
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,500
are you Cary?
Elwes says no one of consequence

471
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,600
and he says, I must know, an LG
says, get used to disappointment

472
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,800
at just the way he goes.
Okay.

473
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,600
And then starts fighting again.
It is a perfect reaction shot,

474
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,500
like it's just.
Yeah.

475
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:00,300
So you could not read the line.
Okay.

476
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,400
Better than that.
No, it's absolutely perfect.

477
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,200
And I think it's for so many of
these reasons that I think that

478
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,500
Mandy Patinkin, Is easily the
best like indigo is the best

479
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:18,600
character and Patinkin is the
best performance in this movie.

480
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:21,700
That leaves us two people to
talk about real quick Wallace,

481
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:24,700
Shawn and Chris Sarandon.
Let's get Wallace Shawn out of

482
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:26,200
the way, and I don't mean to say
it like that.

483
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,700
But the reason you have Wallace
Shawn in this movie, is to be

484
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:32,800
Wallace Shawn.
And yeah, he like, he is a

485
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,000
brilliant writer and actor in
many, many other films besides

486
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,500
this one.
He's in here.

487
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,700
To be like the, the
stereotypical version of Walsh.

488
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:48,000
It's almost like having Gilbert
godfried in a lattice like, he's

489
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,100
just there to Gilbert.
Not gonna say he feels a lot

490
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:56,600
like Gilbert godfried and it's
just Wallace Shawn.

491
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:58,300
Yeah.
And that's what you need him to

492
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:00,300
be in this movie.
They kind of the same way Andre,

493
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:05,900
the Giant doesn't have enough
grasp of the English language or

494
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:08,600
acting capabilities to be
anything more than Andre the

495
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,200
Giant.
Yeah.

496
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:11,900
And he's perfect.
Because of that I think will

497
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,800
say, I think is this our second
Wallace Shawn movie?

498
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:18,300
Was he in marriage story?
Oh yeah, I forgot that he was in

499
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:19,900
marriage story.
There you go.

500
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:22,700
To to Wallace, Shawn movies
down, there you go.

501
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600
It's also our second movie
featuring Chris Sarandon.

502
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:31,300
Do you remember the first
Sarandon, what else?

503
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,900
Man, I can't believe what he was
in.

504
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:39,900
He played Al Pacino's lover in
Dog Day Afternoon.

505
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:45,400
Oh, snap.
Yes, that was Chris, wait, that

506
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,200
was Chris.
I was Chris, he's on the phone

507
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,000
and the barbershop talking
death.

508
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,300
She know in the that's
Christopher and I did not know

509
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:54,600
that, right.
Talk about two wildly different

510
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,300
performances and I think it
really gets at how good of an

511
00:28:57,300 --> 00:28:59,600
actor Sarandon is and how
versatile he is.

512
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Incredibly good-looking guy.
Guy like really in control here

513
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,300
and he's doing like he's doing a
James Mason impression.

514
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,000
You know, if you remember James
Mason from North by Northwest

515
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,300
the bad guy in North by
Northwest, he's doing James

516
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:14,500
Mason and he kind of looks like
James Mason.

517
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,800
And so it works really really
well I just I think he's

518
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,700
fantastic in this movie.
He's batting a thousand.

519
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,600
Every time he comes into the
film, he's funny when he needs

520
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,900
to be funny.
He's a coward.

521
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:27,500
When he needs to be a coward.
He's intimidating when he needs

522
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:31,600
to be intimidating and I think
he's a great you know, again to

523
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,700
go back to the Comparison, you
know, they have Lithgow as as

524
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:39,800
Farquaad in that movie and I
think that he's doing his best

525
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400
Farquaad here, right?
And perhaps even better than

526
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,100
Lithgow.
Yeah.

527
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:48,900
My question would be, how much
funnier would it have been if

528
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:52,300
Wallace Shawn was Humperdinck
because I feel like that's the

529
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:56,900
better, Farquaad comparison,
because rap kind of trashley

530
00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:00,900
five-foot-one, Wallace Shawn the
out there doing his best.

531
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,100
All right, Man, I think we're in
a good place to hit, pause will

532
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:06,300
come back from the break.
We'll talk about this, you know,

533
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:09,200
quote unquote, perfectly
structured script, a little bit

534
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,900
more on Rob Reiner and then
we'll get into our final scores.

535
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:14,800
But first, let's try this
Bushmills, red bush.

536
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,600
What do you say?
Let's get to it.

537
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,300
Some whiskey Nation.
Do you ever think about Awards,

538
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,000
of course you do you drink
whiskey and watch movies which

539
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,500
means that, you know, that
nothing is validated until a

540
00:30:25,508 --> 00:30:28,200
group of random people say hey
we love what you're doing.

541
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,800
The awesome thing about doc
Swensons, whiskey is that it

542
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,500
isn't just Some group of slums
that are given them Awards.

543
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,700
They have been winning attention
from some of the most important

544
00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:39,500
whiskey experts that you can
imagine.

545
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,400
They've been voted best
distillery in Washington state

546
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,300
by the New York International
Spirits competition.

547
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,400
They've been voted the best
Independent bottler by the Ascot

548
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,300
Awards, as well as the best
finished bourbon from the Ascot

549
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:55,700
awards for their La meant to
exploratory, Cask their sport or

550
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:58,000
Cask series is where they
release some of the most

551
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
fascinating and adventurous
experiments, if you're ever

552
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,100
checking out docs line, A up and
see a white label is a really

553
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:06,500
good chance that that's the only
time you'll see that bottle.

554
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,700
So, make sure you snatch it up.
Doc Swensons has been offering

555
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:13,400
just phenomenal finished and
Blended whiskies for quite some

556

time.
Now, you can find them online at

557
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:19,400
Doc's, whisky.com, that's doccs
whisky.com.

558
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:27,500
Alright, today we are checking
out.

559
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:30,900
Bushmills, red bush.
Brad asked that we can

560
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:33,400
immediately get the sexual
connotation of the name out of

561
00:31:33,408 --> 00:31:36,400
the way, so there it is.
You know, we're going to talk

562
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,200
about red bush today.
And next week, we're going to

563
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,100
talk about Bushmills Black Bush.
So, depending on your preference

564
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:47,000
of color, join us for more Bush
conversation down the road.

565
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,600
Is that a good enough disclaimer
for you?

566
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,800
Are you satisfied now?
Brad.

567
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,900
I'm very satisfied.
All right.

568
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:58,100
Wonderful.
Bushmills, red bush is, I mean,

569
00:31:58,100 --> 00:32:00,900
like if I can be frank here,
it's kind of just a variation on

570
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:03,800
regular Bushmills.
So it's nonage stated.

571
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,400
It is a blend of single malt
whiskey and grain whisky that is

572
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,700
aged for at least three years
and it's aged in used bourbon

573
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:16,500
barrels.
So regular Bushmills, is h and a

574
00:32:16,508 --> 00:32:21,300
combo of bourbon and cherry red
bush is aged solely in Bourbon

575
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:23,900
casks and their first fill so,
like they've been used for

576
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,300
bourbon and nothing else that
gets shipped over to Ireland,

577
00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:28,900
the age of them there.
The Black Bush, which will try

578
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:31,200
next week is aged solely in
Sherry.

579
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,900
So, it's kind of like, you're
getting one half of the process,

580
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,500
but it's going to have a little
bit of that kind of, they're

581
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:40,600
hoping that this is like a
Gateway into Irish whiskey for

582
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,500
people who only drink Bourbon
and I really like that approach,

583
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:45,500
Brad.
Because it is sometimes hard to

584
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:48,600
convince people to try Irish
whiskey or to try Scotch.

585
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,800
If they're only used to that
brown sugar, vanilla thing that

586
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,600
you get from bourbon.
Yeah.

587
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,500
And I think that is Whiskey has
an incredible amount of

588
00:32:58,508 --> 00:33:01,900
experience to offer, any of you,
bourbon drinkers out there.

589
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:06,000
So, I am, I'm always beating the
drum for my Irish Whiskey's,

590
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,600
which have always kind of had an
attraction for me.

591
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,900
And so yeah, this Bushmills red
bush.

592
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,700
So far, my experience with it
has been pretty positive Bob.

593
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,500
I have not tried it yet, so I'm
trying it live on air.

594
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,400
I'll give a few nosing notes if
you don't mind.

595
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:24,200
Yeah, go for it.
So, I mean, like, a lot of Irish

596
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,100
Whiskey's, I'm getting a ton of
and on this, I think it's like a

597
00:33:27,108 --> 00:33:28,900
lot of honeydew.
There's actually a little bit of

598
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:32,600
tropical like, pineapple for me
as well, but more than anything,

599
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,400
it smells like orange juice to
me like fresh, squeezed orange

600
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,900
juice.
Almost like a like a mimosa.

601
00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:42,400
Like, it has a little bit of
that, like, champagne, anything

602
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,100
going on to, I will say Brad
that after sitting with this,

603
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:50,300
for a couple minutes there is a
really, really faint.

604
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Almost vinegary note for me and
it kind of smells like a can of

605
00:33:55,900 --> 00:34:01,000
Pickled beets, which is not a
food that I'm a huge fan of and

606
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,700
it's just like a little wisp of
it underneath everything else.

607
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:07,300
So it's really nice.
It's like pineapple and orange

608
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:09,400
juice and I'm digging it and
then there's just a little bit

609
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,600
of beet and then our get
reminded of Dwight Schrute,

610
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,000
which is not what I want to be
thinking about when I'm drinking

611
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,400
whiskey.
So I'm kind of torn about this

612
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,699
one man.
What kind of score?

613
00:34:19,699 --> 00:34:21,900
Would you give it?
I think I'd still give it like a

614
00:34:21,908 --> 00:34:25,000
seven and a half but it was
approaching like an eight and a

615
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,800
half before.
Or okay.

616
00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:29,400
I was going to say I really like
this for me.

617
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,500
It's honey, there's some brown
sugar notes.

618
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:34,199
I get the barley starts to come
through.

619
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,300
It's a little bit raw.
And then, like you said, I think

620
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:41,800
honeydew is the right note.
It's it, it's Melanie but not a

621
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,199
super-strong overpowering.
Those I gave it an 8 out of 10

622
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:49,600
on the nose.
I think it's pleasant but I'm

623
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,800
curious to see where it goes.
Especially after last week.

624
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,500
Drinking the there, you know,
regular off.

625
00:34:55,699 --> 00:34:58,700
And really feeling like it was
like, kind of a white wine, huh?

626
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,700
Feel.
I'm curious to see how much more

627
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,800
bourbon e or, you know, even
more like classic Irish whiskey,

628
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,200
this one will come out to be.
Yeah, for me, I just took a sip

629
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,000
as you were talking Brad and
this one still has a lot of

630
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,500
that, white wine character.
But this time around it is like

631
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:18,000
a really dry sparkling wine for
me like it reminds me of

632
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,400
champagne when I drink it and
there is there's a little bit

633
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,700
more sweetness here than there
was last week which I really

634
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:26,400
like it's certainly not a sweet.
Ski at all.

635
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,800
But I think a little bit of that
bourbon character has been

636
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,900
imparted here.
It's way spicier than last

637
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:34,800
week's was like from the, from
the get-go tip of my tongue.

638
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:36,800
There's a prickly Nest here that
wasn't there.

639
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,800
Last week, I gotta keep saying,
last week, I guess it was, I

640
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,900
think two weeks ago that we
tried this one.

641
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,400
So anyway, you know what I mean?
But I get a lot of citrus peel

642
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,300
on this Brad.
There's like a grapefruit

643
00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:51,300
character to this on the back
for me to.

644
00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:54,000
It's not like all of the
bitterness that you get with

645
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,900
grapefruit, but it does.
Mind me of drinking orange

646
00:35:56,900 --> 00:35:59,800
juice, or drinking grape fruit
juice to go along with that kind

647
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,500
of champagne thing.
I guess I just have mimosas on

648
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:05,800
my mind right now, but this
tastes like the whiskey

649
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,800
equivalent of a mimosa to me.
Yeah, for me it was like, honey,

650
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:17,000
drizzled over a grapefruit with,
like a little bit of a mint,

651
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,200
sprig, kind of like, put on the
side, but like crushed a little

652
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,500
bit, so you smell it.
Yeah.

653
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,500
Like that is what I got on the
pallet here, it's a little bit.

654
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,900
Of a refreshing mint but then
all sorts of Honey mixed with

655
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:33,700
grapefruit and then it kind of
dries out by the end of it and

656
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:36,600
hits a few of those white wine
notes that we've been talking

657
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,500
about with our last iteration of
Bushmills.

658
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:43,000
Bob, I really like this a lot.
I think I'm going to stay like

659
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,700
right at an 8 because this is
really solid whiskey.

660
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,000
I'm going to give it an 8 on the
taste as well and same

661
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,400
unfinished because it.
Hmm.

662
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,700
What's the word Brad?
It's not bitter.

663
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,500
I guess it is kind of better in
that.

664
00:36:55,700 --> 00:36:59,200
Fruit way, it has that
grapefruit character to it and

665
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,400
it really does remind me of
toasting someone on New Year's

666
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,000
with a glass of champagne.
But I don't like champagne that

667
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,200
much and I would much rather
have this in a glass to toast

668
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,500
somebody with on New Year's.
It's really really good.

669
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:15,300
It's light, it's bubbly.
It has that sort of

670
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,000
effervescence to it.
I'm really shocked that this is

671
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,600
coming out of bourbon barrels,
because it doesn't really remind

672
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,400
me of bourbon at all.
They reminds me of drinking, you

673
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,100
know, a screwdriver.
Her or a mimosa or something

674
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:30,000
with orange and champagne in it.
I'm a big fan.

675
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,300
I'm going to give it an 8 on the
Finish.

676
00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:35,400
Yeah I think I'll come down a
tiny bit on the Finish just just

677
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,200
to say that it doesn't last very
long and there's not quite

678
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,100
enough of a lingering palette
that like really makes me in

679
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:46,400
love with it.
But I'm right there with you

680
00:37:46,408 --> 00:37:48,200
man.
It has all of the notes we've

681
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,500
been talking about so far.
The the Citrus little bit of

682
00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:54,100
Honey to finish, it gets a
little bit more, okey at the

683
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:58,200
end, but not enough to Sour it.
So yeah, seven and a half on the

684
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,700
finish.
I'll give it an eight and a half

685
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:02,700
on balance.
Bob, I think I'll do that.

686
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:04,200
Yeah.
I think I'll do the same.

687
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Go ahead and finish your
thought, I'm sorry.

688
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:09,200
No you good?
I just think that balance wise,

689
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:14,000
you get what you are expecting
throughout the entire drink and

690
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,300
I think you know in order to hit
the nine, ten out of ten type of

691
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:21,800
area, you almost have to
transcend that and like be more

692
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,300
complex than initially you think
it is.

693
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,900
But with this One man.
I mean, there's nothing to

694
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:29,500
complain about here, balance
wise.

695
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,300
No.
And is this the best Irish

696
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:35,500
whiskey we've ever had?
No, but for what it is and kind

697
00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:39,200
of as a self-contained thing, it
balances everything really,

698
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,900
really well.
Everything I got on the nose,

699
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:42,800
was there on the palette,
everything that was on the

700
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,100
palate, was there on the Finish.
It's a super consistent product

701
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:49,300
and I really appreciate that.
So I'm also going to go eight

702
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:52,300
and a half on balance and that
brings us to value.

703
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,000
Now Brad as you know, our value
score is Dependent on simply is

704
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,200
it cheap or is it expensive?
It is does the quality of what

705
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,300
we just drank make sense at the
price point, or even more.

706
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:08,700
Is it a steal at the price point
and at in the state of Ohio?

707
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:11,700
Brad, I'm pretty sure this is,
like in the 20s, right?

708
00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:20,000
$22.49 $22 for a 750 milliliter
bottle of, this is a freaking

709
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,800
steal like so much so that I
thought this was like 28 or 29

710
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,700
dollars at.
Eighty-two dollars.

711
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:30,000
This is a nine out of ten value
bread.

712
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,800
It's a nine and a half for me,
Bob.

713
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,000
Yeah.
Like, it's pretty close to being

714
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,400
a perfect value.
If it was 20 or below, I would

715
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:42,000
give it a 10 out of 10. 2250 is
a steal for this whiskey guys.

716
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,200
If you have not tried Bushmills
redbush yet, I am really, really

717
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,100
impressed.
And there's like, you can't ask

718
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:54,000
for much more out of a bottle of
whiskey that costs less than

719
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
$25.
No, I'm coming out to a forty

720
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,600
one out of Brad.
What are you coming out to 41.5?

721
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,700
Wow.
So we're at a 41-point 25 or an

722
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:09,700
82 and a half out of 100.
This is a big deal, man.

723
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,600
It's pretty rare for a whiskey,
this inexpensive to score this.

724
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,600
Highly on our show.
Yeah.

725
00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:19,500
Well and the big thing is, I
always try to score the first

726
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:24,800
four categories with no regard
to the value category and allow

727
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,700
value to adjust the score.
Core as need be, you know, if

728
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:33,100
this was a ninety dollar bottle
of whiskey, it would get a 2 out

729
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:38,900
of 10 and be in like the mid
30s, the low 30s, but because it

730
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:43,200
is a $22.50 bottle of whiskey,
it got a nine and a half and

731
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,000
that bumped it up to where I
think it should be.

732
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,600
This is a huge step up from the
regular Bushmills, white label,

733
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,900
you know, so much.
So that I think we had some

734
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:53,100
complaints about Bushmills last
week.

735
00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:56,500
I have no complaints about this.
This is an immediate go out and

736
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:58,600
purchase this.
Even if you're not an Irish

737
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,300
whiskey fan because it is out of
the ordinary enough that I think

738
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:05,800
this should be something that
you need to give a try to.

739
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:08,100
Yeah.
And if you haven't watched The

740
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:11,200
Princess Bride yet, you need to
go out and give it a try.

741
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,500
So Bob, how about you say?
We get back into finishing.

742
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,900
Our conversation about The
Princess Bride.

743
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:21,900
Let's get to it.
All right.

744
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:26,000
Everybody that was Bushmills,
red, bush, whiskey, that we were

745
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,900
just over the top About Bob I'm
still, I'm over here like

746
00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:33,400
Googling about it right now
because I had no idea.

747
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,600
It was this good.
Why is no one talking about

748
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,200
this?
It's it's available everywhere.

749
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,200
All the time for less than $25
and it's phenomenal.

750
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:46,900
Hmm, I don't know.
Bob it's not very exclusive, you

751
00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:47,900
know what I mean?
That's what it is.

752
00:41:48,100 --> 00:41:51,000
We need to create scarcity,
artificial scarcity.

753
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,200
We need what we need is for
Bushmills, red bush to get

754
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,600
acquired by Buffalo Trace.
There you go.

755
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
That's it.
If you put this in the beat, At

756
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,600
collection and called it like,
Georgios tag Irish whiskey,

757
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:06,100
dude.
Sure.

758
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:09,600
Just a, it could sell for $900
and people would finally

759
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,900
understand man.
Well, speaking of btech, I'd

760
00:42:13,900 --> 00:42:17,100
like to thank our new sponsor,
Buffalo Trace for sponsoring,

761
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:18,800
our two facts in a falsehood
section.

762
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,500
Alright, two facts.
And a falsehood, this is the

763
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:25,300
part of the podcast where Brad
presents three items to me all

764
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:27,900
of them.
As fact, little tidbits about

765
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:32,000
the making of this V.
And so all of them not sponsored

766
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,400
by Buffalo, not actually none of
them to be to be clear.

767
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,900
No free advertising on this
podcast, Buffalo Trace.

768
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:41,300
So, two of them are actually
true.

769
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:43,700
One of them is made up by Brad.
I have to guess.

770
00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:48,000
Which one is the falsehood?
Brad hit me with your two facts

771
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,000
and a falsehood fax.
Number one, Christopher, Reeve

772
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,600
famous for playing Superman.
Was it one point interested in

773
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,100
playing the role of Wesley?
Fax number two, when count.

774
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:01,700
That's the real game.
That's the whole fact.

775
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,600
That's it, man.
Well, usually there's like a,

776
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,400
you know, but this, this
happened, blah blah, blah, so I

777
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,900
thought something was coming in.
All right, fact, number two,

778
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:15,400
when count rugen hits Wesley
over the head Cary, Elwes told

779
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,700
Christopher Guest to go ahead
and hit him for real, guess it l

780
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:22,500
was so hard that he knocked him,
unconscious lacerating, the top

781
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:23,800
of his head.
Oh my gosh.

782
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,200
It was very violent.
Fact, number three, the line

783
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,500
never mess with a sicilian.
When death is on the line was

784
00:43:31,500 --> 00:43:34,900
one of Goldman's favorites, who
said it was a direct quote of

785
00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:39,800
one of his childhood friends.
Wow, I have no idea.

786
00:43:41,300 --> 00:43:46,500
Fact, number one sounds, so
Bland that I can't tell if it's

787
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:50,800
real or not.
I mean like okay cool like

788
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,700
Christopher Reeve was interested
in great.

789
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:58,900
Like I'm glad I know that now.
Fact number two huh I think they

790
00:43:58,908 --> 00:44:01,600
could all be false.
Is it possible that all three of

791
00:44:01,607 --> 00:44:05,700
these are false?
There is zero percent chance.

792
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:06,600
Okay.
All right.

793
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:10,700
I think I'm just going to have
to guess one because I think I'm

794
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:14,800
gonna be wrong regardless.
I'm going to say that too.

795
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,800
Is the falsehood that count
rugen?

796
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,900
Hit Wesley over the head, so
hard that he knocked him

797
00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:26,400
unconscious for real.
Yes, that Bob is a 100% true

798
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,400
facts, how nice?
Yeah.

799
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,500
What was the falsehood bread?
The wine.

800
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:35,200
Never mess with Sicilian.
When death is on the line, was

801
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,900
not one of William Goldman's
favorites.

802
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,900
It wasn't, I mean, maybe it was
maybe maybe it wasn't.

803
00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:44,400
There is no record of it being
his favorites and he did not say

804
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,600
it was a direct quote from one
of his childhood friends.

805
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,200
As far as I know, I made that up
what a great line, dude.

806
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:54,200
Okay, see this?
Such a great line.

807
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:58,000
Alright.
So now I'm taking the Elvis

808
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,100
week.
I'm okay with that because I'm

809
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:02,700
still way above 500 on the year.
Yeah, you're killing it, man.

810
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,800
Let's get back into.
It was a rough start for you.

811
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,200
It was a really rough start.
I want to talk a little bit more

812
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,500
about this script and about,
Owners direction of it.

813
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,700
This is the third movie, that
William Goldman and Rob Reiner

814
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,300
have worked on together that has
been on this show.

815
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:24,200
Like I had no idea that William
Goldman did revisions On A Few

816
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,500
Good Men when we picked that for
the show, but like it's pretty

817
00:45:27,500 --> 00:45:30,200
obvious that the two of them
really enjoyed working together

818
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,900
and that Reiner understands if
nothing else how to put the

819
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:38,600
actors in a position to deliver
this Goldman dialogue.

820
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,600
Better than almost anybody D.
Yeah, Goldman is like, really

821
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,500
famous for a reason Bob.
Yeah, yeah.

822
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:54,000
He's, you know, he's fun fact.
Great at writing scripts, I

823
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,200
think that is easily the
strength of this movie is the

824
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,800
fact that a the actors are
committed.

825
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,200
Like every single actor, is
committed to this script and be

826
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,600
that elevates this script to the
next level because it's Already

827
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,700
a spectacular script like the,
the lines that he writes are

828
00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:18,800
some of the funniest of any
movie, you know, like to throw

829
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,400
things, Way, Way Back for those
of you, who remember, when we

830
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:28,400
did our Test episode on the film
Anchorman, the Legend of Ron

831
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,400
Burgundy, we talked about how
that is easily.

832
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,900
One of the most quotable movies
of all time.

833
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:38,100
Bob, I think Princess Bride
might be more quotable.

834
00:46:38,100 --> 00:46:40,200
Yeah.
And it's, it gets to the The

835
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,500
fact that they're two different
styles of Comedy, right, where

836
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:49,500
Adam McKay is kind of the master
of, I don't know wrangling chaos

837
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:52,200
into something like that whole
movies, improvised or a good

838
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,400
portion of it, and they cobbled
together, different takes to

839
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,900
make what you see in the final
product.

840
00:46:58,300 --> 00:47:00,200
This is not an improvised movie,
right?

841
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,400
I mean I'm sure, you know, maybe
Billy Crystal's character is

842
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,700
doing some improv there, but
this is an example of really,

843
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:11,700
really great joke writing And
people delivering it with

844
00:47:11,700 --> 00:47:14,900
perfect timing.
It's much closer to Billy wilder

845
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,600
than it is to Anchorman.
Yeah, there's a element of

846
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:24,500
snappiness to the movie.
That feels much more like old

847
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:26,800
Hollywood than it does like new.
Yeah.

848
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,600
And I think that's I think that
the other thing is the lines are

849
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,100
incredibly Snappy but they are
delivered in such a laconic

850
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:38,100
manner.
By by Inigo Montoya by Cary

851
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:42,400
Elwes?
That it As a slow cadence, even

852
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,700
though they're really fast, one
line is and I think that that

853
00:47:46,700 --> 00:47:50,400
that dissonance almost serves to
make it even funnier.

854
00:47:50,900 --> 00:47:53,000
All right, so I think this is a
good point to kind of tip my

855
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,500
hand a little bit about my
overall feelings on this movie.

856
00:47:57,300 --> 00:48:02,100
I respect this movie.
I respect the script, I think

857
00:48:02,100 --> 00:48:05,000
it's clever.
I chuckle a lot.

858
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:08,800
I do a little smirk.
I nod my head and say I see what

859
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,600
you did there.
This is not a movie that really

860
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,900
makes me laugh out loud every
once in a while it will.

861
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:17,700
And I actually watched this
movie with my five-year-old,

862
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:20,500
this was like one of the first
movies I've ever shown him where

863
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:22,600
like, someone gets stabbed and
dies.

864
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,100
There was a big deal for my son
to watch.

865
00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:27,200
He thought it was hilarious.
He loved it.

866
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,000
And so it's really it was great
to watch it with a younger

867
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,300
person who had never seen it
before in the jokes really

868
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:34,600
worked.
And, you know, Andre the Giant's

869
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:40,000
rhyming thing killed in my
household, but at the end of the

870
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:43,800
The day, I think this is why I
think spinal tap is such a

871
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,600
better movie than this, and I
know that it's two completely

872
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,000
different.
Styles of Comedy, spinal tap

873
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,200
makes me laugh out loud and this
movie gets more of a, an

874
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,300
appreciative chuckle every now
and then.

875
00:48:56,300 --> 00:49:00,200
And so it's really hard for me
to hold this movie in as high of

876
00:49:00,300 --> 00:49:03,800
a steam as other people do.
That's crazy to me Bob.

877
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:08,500
Yeah, it feels like to me.
This movie should have all the

878
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:13,300
kinds of humor that you're
Looking for in a movie and I'm

879
00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:15,400
kind of surprised that this one
didn't hit you the right way.

880
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,200
Yeah.
It kind of reminds me of Some

881
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,300
Like, It Hot that way to go back
to Wilder.

882
00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:22,000
Again, that's a great movie.
It's funny.

883
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,300
It's so well written.
It's almost perfectly written

884
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:30,000
and yet, I think there's an
element of because it is all

885
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,800
written down, because there
doesn't seem to be any actual

886
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,400
joking going on.
You know what I mean?

887
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:41,400
Like, I'm not saying I need
Improv ization to make me laugh,

888
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,600
but sometimes the stage Enos of
delivering jokes that are pre

889
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,100
written in a movie, just doesn't
work quite as well for me.

890
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,000
And so, I like the apartment way
better than I like Some Like It

891
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,700
Hot and again, I know the
apartments a much more dramatic

892
00:49:55,700 --> 00:49:59,200
movie, but there's just
something more to appreciate

893
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,000
their for me.
Whereas Some Like, It, Hot is a

894
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,400
very, very well-made movie.
That doesn't really go anywhere

895
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,100
under the surface of what it's
presenting and that's kind of

896
00:50:09,100 --> 00:50:11,400
the same thing here.
Maybe I'm just old and I'm a

897
00:50:11,408 --> 00:50:15,400
stick in the mud and I'm no fun
anymore, but this movie has just

898
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,100
never quite done it for me, the
way that it seems to for other

899
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:21,100
people.
Well, maybe maybe let's make it

900
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:24,700
a double give you a chance to
point towards a movie that you

901
00:50:24,700 --> 00:50:27,100
feel like does it just a little
bit better then?

902
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,100
Oh, that's a good one.
I have not even thought about

903
00:50:30,100 --> 00:50:31,600
what I would make this a double
with.

904
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,700
Do you have yours and mine so I
can not listen to you and think

905
00:50:35,700 --> 00:50:37,500
about it while you talk.
Yeah.

906
00:50:37,500 --> 00:50:40,800
Bob, I have been thinking about
the movie and I I think that

907
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:47,100
there's another children's film
that is similar in tone and and

908
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:49,900
its content.
We mentioned it once earlier.

909
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,000
I think I'm gonna pair this with
Shrek.

910
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:55,400
Oh interesting.
Yeah, I mean I think it's kind

911
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,600
of like it's an obvious pairing
for this, right?

912
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:04,700
Like it's I think Shrek's a
little more Mean-spirited than

913
00:51:04,700 --> 00:51:07,500
this movie?
Is it is I think one of the

914
00:51:07,508 --> 00:51:09,800
things don't like about Shrek is
that it?

915
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:10,800
Yeah, go ahead and finish your
thought.

916
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,900
I'm sorry, as you say it hates
Disney.

917
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:19,400
It does just so much and it
doesn't seem to like its own

918
00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:24,000
source material either like, it
doesn't like fairy tales.

919
00:51:24,900 --> 00:51:28,000
Whereas I think this movie,
ultimately what what really

920
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,400
saves this movie is that it's
not just making fun of fairy,

921
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,800
tales for the point of making
fun of fairy And saying aren't

922
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,000
these dumb, it's ultimately
about the power of a story and

923
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,300
how stories like this bring
people together and that

924
00:51:40,300 --> 00:51:45,100
grandfather and Grandson
bookends on this movie, really?

925
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,800
I mean, that's what makes you
feel the warm fuzzies about this

926
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,700
movie.
And I think that's why, I mean,

927
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:52,300
I definitely like this better
than Shrek.

928
00:51:53,500 --> 00:51:55,700
There's a lot of ways you could
go with making this a double.

929
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:58,300
Like I said, I think it would go
really well with a movie like

930
00:51:58,300 --> 00:52:02,100
Some Like It Hot, it would go
really well with the Original

931
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:04,300
Adventures of Robin Hood with
Errol Flynn.

932
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:07,000
I think it has that sort of
swashbuckling thing going on

933
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000
here.
I think I'm going to pair it up

934
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:15,200
with a movie based on movies
that The Script is perfect but

935
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:19,100
that I'd still don't really care
for and it is Back to the Future

936
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:25,100
where I think Back To The Future
Has like like actual problematic

937
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:28,400
elements to it that don't fly in
2022 and this movie doesn't

938
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:33,100
really have those, but it's a
movie that on paper, literally

939
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:36,700
on paper should work like
gangbusters for me and how

940
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:41,800
people talk and, and right and
worship at the altar of these

941
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,100
two scripts and how perfectly
structured they are.

942
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:46,100
And how there's a payoff for
everything that happens.

943
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:50,700
And yet, even though it's
perfectly structured, I still

944
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:53,100
don't think it's anywhere near
approaching a perfect.

945
00:52:53,300 --> 00:52:57,800
We both really enjoyable both,
you know, entertaining on

946
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,200
surface level, but, you know, or
we could just call it the double

947
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,500
of movies that everyone else on
Earth likes that Bob doesn't

948
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:07,400
care for.
And here's why Bob's wrong?

949
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:08,900
And you could have a double
feature of those.

950
00:53:08,900 --> 00:53:11,000
So there you go.
I'm gonna go Princess Bride and

951
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,500
Back to the Future.
Sounds good man.

952
00:53:15,300 --> 00:53:18,300
You know Bob I've been thinking
about this, you know, we'll make

953
00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:22,200
it a double for a while now I
think I'm going to compare this

954
00:53:22,300 --> 00:53:25,600
and pair it up.
Up with a movie called Stardust.

955
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,200
Hmm.
Have you ever seen Stardust Bob?

956
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,600
I have not ever seen Stardust
Bob.

957
00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:34,800
Yeah.
It came out in 2007.

958
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,400
It's an action-adventure movie
about a young man.

959
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,000
Who promises the woman that he
loves that.

960
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,100
He will go retrieve a fallen
star and he goes forth into this

961
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:51,600
magical realm and goes on a
Grand Adventure to to find it.

962
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,100
And he learns a little bit about
himself.

963
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,500
And honestly, I think it's
almost like the movie version of

964
00:53:57,500 --> 00:54:03,500
what happens to Wesley in
between him leaving Buttercup

965
00:54:03,500 --> 00:54:06,100
and coming back to Buttercup.
Mmm interests.

966
00:54:06,100 --> 00:54:07,300
I'm a big.
I'm a big fan.

967
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:12,000
I think it's a good a good
pairing for for The Princess

968
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,700
Bride.
All right.

969
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:16,000
Brad.
It is time for us to give final

970
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,600
scores on this movie.
I'll go first since I just said

971
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,400
that, you know, this is not my
favorite film.

972
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,800
I think again on paper this is
Is like an eight and a half nine

973
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:29,700
out of ten, but it just doesn't,
it's one of those movies where I

974
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:31,100
watch it.
I smile, I say.

975
00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:33,300
That was cute.
That was well made and then I

976
00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:36,200
forget about it and it just
doesn't have the staying power

977
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,700
in my own mind that it seems to
have for other people.

978
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:40,900
I'm gonna give it a seven and a
half out of ten.

979
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,200
I think it's, it's competently
directed.

980
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,400
It has a brilliant screenplay.
I think a lot of the people in.

981
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:55,000
It have insane comic timing, but
like, Wanting to put this on

982
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,300
every day.
Not really.

983
00:54:56,700 --> 00:54:59,700
So for me, I think just my own
personal enjoyment of it.

984
00:54:59,700 --> 00:55:01,100
It's a seven and a half out of
ten.

985
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:02,900
Yeah.
Bob, I think that the difference

986
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:06,400
between you, and I in this movie
is that I just everything worked

987
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,800
for me in this film.
Hmm.

988
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:13,800
Like, it's nothing more than it
tries to be, but it is perfect

989
00:55:13,900 --> 00:55:16,700
at what it tries to be.
And so for me I'm going to give

990
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:18,100
it an eight and a half out of
ten.

991
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,500
I think it's one of the funnier
movies we've ever had on the

992
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:25,500
podcast and And I think that
Patinkin performance

993
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:29,000
single-handedly, bumps this up,
at least a half a point for

994
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,000
sure, for sure.
Alright, so there you have it.

995
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,100
We are coming out to an 8 out of
10 on average, but we like to

996
00:55:36,107 --> 00:55:38,700
know what you think is this one
of those movies that you've

997
00:55:38,700 --> 00:55:41,700
watched ever, since you were a
kid and you hold it very near

998
00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:44,300
and dear to your heart.
Is this a movie that doesn't

999
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:47,800
work for you?

1009
00:56:18,308 --> 00:56:23,600
the best ever made 1962, S,
Lawrence of Arabia, Brad.

1010
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,500
We are taking a very, very hard
turn from from Rob Reiner into

00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:30,300
