The Secret Life of Walter Mitty / Glenlivet 12

1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:05,400
In 2013 director and star Ben
Stiller gave the world.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,400
A smooth ride into the world of
one man's imagination in 2022.

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,800
We try one of the world's most
famous single malts.

4
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:19,100
The film is The Secret Life of
Walter, Mitty, the whiskey is

5
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:22,100
the Glenlivet, 12-year and we'll
review them both.

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,400
This is the film and whiskey
podcast.

7
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,400
Welcome to the film and whiskey
podcast, where each week, we

8
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,300
review a classic movie and a
glass of whiskey.

9
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:53,000
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G and
this week we're looking at the

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,800
2013, Ben Stiller starring and
directed film The Secret Life of

11
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,800
Walter Mitty.
Brad.

12
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,200
This is not the first time this
movie has come up on our podcast

13
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,800
before.
I feel like we've talked with a

14
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,800
number of people during our my
favorite movie series who have

15
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,100
kind of floated this out there
as a possibility.

16
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:15,500
I know that Kate Douglas from
old elk actually chose it as her

17
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:18,200
favorite movie.
So I like we've been kind of

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,100
dancing around this one for a
while.

19
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:23,000
Now you've been given it like
googly eyes in the hallway.

20
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,400
We got to get it to fit their
back that the exactly, exactly.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600
It's pretty much like Ben
Stiller and Austin wiggin this?

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,600
Yeah.
All right.

23
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Listen.
Hold on.

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,400
Before we go any further like
halfway through this movie?

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,900
My wife was watching it with me
last night.

26
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:38,500
We both really liked this movie
a lot.

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,200
I just said, I wish these two
had made more movies together,

28
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:47,000
because I really like them
together like that, every once

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,700
in a while, you just see a star
pairing and you're like, damn

30
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:51,300
it.
Why didn't we get more from them

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,300
like Meg, Ryan and Billy
Crystal, it's like I need, I

32
00:01:54,308 --> 00:01:56,400
need more of them.
I like that.

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,800
You're saying that like like
they died.

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
What if we get more out of them?
While we had them we didn't know

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,800
what we had before it was gone.
Dude.

36
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:12,500
I'm not gonna lie.
I really, really despise,

37
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:17,200
Kristen wigs, comedy style, not
a fan at all.

38
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:21,100
I think that almost nothing she
does is genuinely funny.

39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000
She's spectacular as a serious
actor.

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Oh, she's a great actress.
Yeah, like so so good in this

41
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,900
movie and the one or two moments
where she like kind of gave into

42
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:38,000
her awkward humor a little bit.
It worked because she came off

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,300
as like a normal human being.
Yep.

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,100
Totally agreement.
I just had a but I'm way far

45
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:47,800
away from her in her, like,
actual comedy, comedy routine.

46
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:53,000
I like how even when I try to
set you up, I give you like the

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800
lob of all lobs.
The alley-oop to end.

48
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,600
All alley-oops.
How great is this John Starks?

49
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,100
I'm too Patrick.
Yes, in NBA Jam.

50
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,800
How great is this romantic
couple and you're like, you know

51
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,200
what, I'm not even going to
answer your question.

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,000
I'm just going to talk about how
much I typically don't like one

53
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,900
of them.
Yeah, I mean it's obvious that

54
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:16,800
you always have engaged with
every one of my points I've ever

55
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,000
brought up with with genuine
authenticity.

56
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:22,000
I have and and obstinate
thousand, bro.

57
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,300
I'm just saying, man.
She is spectacular in this

58
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:28,400
movie.
I think that her and Ben,

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,300
Stiller's chemistry, as like a
normal group pairing of human

60
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:37,400
beings, who are interested in
each other, might be one of the

61
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,100
best portrayals of regular human
romance that I've ever seen on

62
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:44,100
film.
Yeah, I think there's a lot to

63
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,300
praise with this movie.
Obviously, it does have some

64
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,500
flaws and we'll get into talking
about those but before, Get any

65
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,600
further.
I have to ask you was this your

66
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,300
first time seeing Walter Mitty.
Oh, The Secret Life of Walter

67
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:57,300
Mitty.
You mean no.

68
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,400
Just just Walter de never seen
him before.

69
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Oh, yes.
I have.

70
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,300
I've met him many times.
He was on the cover of Life.

71
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,200
Oh yeah.
Of course.

72
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,800
Yeah.
Yes.

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,300
Bob, I had seen The Secret Life
of Walter Mitty before at your

74
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:12,700
house.
Oh really?

75
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Yeah, we were staying with you
guys one time.

76
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,700
Like I said last week at the end
of the episode we won't

77
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:20,399
remember.
This first of all, I don't

78
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,700
remember you saying at the end
of last week and I also don't

79
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,500
remember what let alone five
years ago.

80
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:29,300
Exactly what.
No, you didn't watch it with me.

81
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:31,600
You and Carrie were out and
about doing stuff and Haley.

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,900
And I watch.
Oh nice.

83
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:33,600
Nice.
Okay.

84
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,500
Because you told me to watch it,
you're like, oh, you need to

85
00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:36,400
watch this.
It's really good.

86
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,800
And I was like, okay, I'll watch
it.

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,700
Well, I'm glad you did.
And then this, the same thing

88
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:43,700
happened, five years later, and
it has led you back to me again.

89
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,500
So, here we are.
Five years later at least one

90
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,000
more viewing down and it's time
for us to move in.

91
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,400
Brad explains.
This is the part of the podcast

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,100
where Brad breaks down the plot
of the film that he has just

93
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,200
seen often for the first time.
Brad.

94
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,700
Do you think that with 60
seconds here on the clock?

95
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:02,100
You can break down the plot of
The Secret Life of Walter.

96
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:07,600
Mitty, The Secret Life of Walter
Mitty is about a man named

97
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,900
Walter Mitty.
Who is a - asset producer

98
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:14,100
something or other.
He basically takes film and

99
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:16,800
turns it into pictures for Life
Magazine.

100
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:20,200
His mom is getting old his
Esther's useless.

101
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:22,800
Let's see.
What else is important about

102
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,600
him.
Oh wait nothing, he's boring.

103
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,200
They set him up.
Kind of like an accountant and

104
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000
he has a very vibrant and Rich
thought life.

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,600
He imagines a lot of different
things and he is sent a photo

106
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Real by their most famous
photographer and one of the

107
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,600
clips is missing and it's going
to be the cover of the year.

108
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,700
It's gonna be the best cover
ever and they lose it.

109
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:48,200
So he goes on a journey to find
the photographer so that he can

110
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,300
find the missing.
Lip and he finds himself along

111
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:56,000
the way.
Hmm, beautiful, dude, I think

112
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400
that was like, one of the first
times where I kind of caught

113
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,900
like, the philosophy of the
movie and, like, the theme of

114
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:06,100
the movie along with like the
actual plot details, you did a

115
00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:07,900
good job.
I'm very proud of ya.

116
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,500
That's pretty smooth.
So this is a pretty simple

117
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,200
movie.
So The Secret Life of Walter

118
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,100
Mitty is based on a very famous
short story, which I remember

119
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:18,000
reading in high school Brad.
Did you ever have to read the

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,300
short story?
I'd never heard of it, all

121
00:06:20,308 --> 00:06:22,000
right.
So it's very famous and of

122
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
course you'd never heard of it
because that's how this podcast

123
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,400
works.
So I don't know about very

124
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,300
famous.
It's really like I'm not

125
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:32,000
exaggerating.
It's very, very famous.

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,100
So take it, I don't believe you.
Okay, well, it's written by

127
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:39,500
James.
Thurber it was written back in

128
00:06:39,508 --> 00:06:44,700
the 1940s and it's been
interpreted as the story of a

129
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:48,100
guy who's kind of imagining
himself in all these situations,

130
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:51,200
even though he's living, A very
mundane life and so they

131
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,000
borrowed that element of the
story and they kind of

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,600
modernized it with this film
here.

133
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,000
This is actually the second film
adaptation of the Walter Mitty

134
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,300
Story.
The first one was much more

135
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,800
faithful to the original short
story.

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,600
I really like what they did with
the like the premise of the film

137
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Brad and I like, where they go
with it and how in the second

138
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,300
half of the film.
Once he finally does start

139
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:16,900
taking those Adventures for
himself, you know, by the end of

140
00:07:16,907 --> 00:07:20,600
the movie, somebody even asks
him How's the daydreaming going?

141
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:23,500
And he just says, you know, a
lot less So lately.

142
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:26,900
And I think that's kind of like
the perfect line to summarize.

143
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:29,800
This movie is like, you don't
have to wonder what life would

144
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,800
be like if you actually go out
and live it.

145
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Yeah, man.
I mean, I picked this movie,

146
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,900
it's on my season 5 list.
I have a lot of wonderful things

147
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:40,300
to say about it.
I guess I just like to hear your

148
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:45,300
initial Impressions about, you
know, the themes of the movie or

149
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:48,400
the flow of the movie, wherever
you want to go with this.

150
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,200
Let's let's just start diving in
here.

151
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,400
I feel like what what Ben
Stiller really did?

152
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Well, in this movie is it feels
like he really honed in on like

153
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,200
minor little small things and
made sure that they were done

154
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,200
well, in this film.
Like the, the way the characters

155
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,200
interact with one another, the,
the way he finds clues that all

156
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,000
the little things that that
Stiller does as a director here,

157
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,400
just feel Really intricate and
well done.

158
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,400
One of the things I really loved
about the movie and I don't

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,800
think this was necessarily
Stiller as a director, but I

160
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,800
love that halfway through the
movie.

161
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,000
Kristen Wiig comes out in the
middle of green land and sings

162
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,600
Major, Tom to Walter Mitty,
right?

163
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,600
And it's his imagination, he's
thinking about her, you know,

164
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,300
propelling him off into the vast
unknown and it gives them

165
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:51,000
courage to go get on a
helicopter being piloted by a

166
00:08:51,008 --> 00:08:54,200
drunk man.
And in the midst of that, you

167
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,700
don't realize it.
But that is the last time he

168
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,300
Daydreams the entire movie,
every single other thing that

169
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:04,500
happens to him is real life.
It really happens.

170
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,400
And I think there's something
about that that for me, it was

171
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,000
almost like one of the most
perfectly executed flips in a

172
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,400
script that I've ever seen.
Hmm, you know what I mean?

173
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600
Like The idea of this man who
Daydreams a lot.

174
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,300
And at that point, he'd had a
few Adventures, he done a few

175
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,600
crazy things, but it was at that
point he was like, you know

176
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,600
what, I have the courage to do
this crazy stuff and he jumps

177
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,900
into the ocean and is attacked
by sharks and he almost gets hit

178
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:41,500
by a volcano eruption and all
this other stuff happens and you

179
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,300
don't realize it because all
this fantastic stuff is

180
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:47,300
happening, just like it was at
the start, but he's not

181
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:49,900
daydreaming anymore.
And There's just something about

182
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:51,400
that after the movie.
I was like, dang.

183
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:55,300
That was really well, written.
Like, like hats off, man.

184
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:58,500
That was so good.
You asked me at some point in

185
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:01,600
the early seasons of this
podcast, to try to explain what

186
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800
it means for a movie to be
well-directed, I think you asked

187
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,600
like, what what does a director
do?

188
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,000
What can we credit a director
for as opposed to an editor or a

189
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,100
writer or whatever?
And weirdly enough, I think this

190
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:16,700
is one of those movies that I
would probably point to for an

191
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:21,400
example of really clear up.
Parent, good directing and Ben.

192
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Stiller has directed a number of
movies but he's not exactly

193
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,800
known.
You know like I wouldn't set him

194
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,400
next to a Hitchcock or Spielberg
and yet I think with this movie

195
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,700
he really just said I'm going to
make a movie that is yes.

196
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:37,900
Funny and parts.
Yes silly and parts but I'm

197
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,700
going to put every ounce of
Creative Energy that I have into

198
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:42,900
it.
It's going to have a very unique

199
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,800
but like super cohesive look and
aesthetic and style to it and he

200
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,000
stuck with it throughout.
The entire movie.

201
00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:53,700
And I think the result of it is
a movie that in a lot of ways,

202
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:57,600
Brad is greater than the sum of
its parts on paper.

203
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Like the acting is very good in
this movie but like the acting

204
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,300
is probably like, you know, a
seven and a half to an 8 out of

205
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,300
10 and the visuals are very
breathtaking.

206
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,500
But like you put all these
things together and it seems

207
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:09,900
like they're going to add up to
a movie.

208
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,500
That is a seven and a half,
there is just something about

209
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:18,400
that extra amount of effort and
that extra amount of artistry.

210
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:22,600
That this movie was not like
calling out for, but the fact

211
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,400
that he gave it that extra
amount, I think really kind of

212
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,600
pushes this movie over the edge
for me, into being something.

213
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,100
That is kind of like
transcending The Source

214
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:36,700
material, the ice Jace.
She moves like a woman.

215
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:45,800
I'm Walter Mitty Cheryl melhoff,
where have you been testing the

216
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,800
limits of the human spirit Like
to climb your hair test that

217
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,300
out.
Perhaps I can contact you

218
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:57,100
possibly to my portrait Alcorn.
Poetry Falcon.

219
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:03,700
I like that.
You think?

220
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:06,300
If I hit him with a paperclip
what do you move?

221
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,900
I don't know.
Do it.

222
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,500
Yeah it feels to me like this
movie is like basically Ben

223
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:20,300
Stiller directing a reflection
of who he he wants himself to be

224
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:26,100
seen as the style of directing
the style of how they captured

225
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:31,500
images in this movie, the style
of how his relationship with

226
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,900
Kristen wigs character
progresses.

227
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:39,500
It almost feels like all of
those things, riff are reflected

228
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:41,100
in the character of Walter
Mitty.

229
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,000
He's not showy, he's not out to
draw attention to himself.

230
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,500
He's not out to, you know, be
the big brash.

231
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:50,800
You know, I'm going to take over
the world kind of guy.

232
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:57,100
He's just and every man who puts
his head down goes to work cares

233
00:12:57,100 --> 00:12:59,400
about the people in his life.
He cares about his co-workers a

234
00:12:59,408 --> 00:13:01,100
lot.
He's interested in this cute

235
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:03,700
girl, he really cares for his
mom.

236
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:09,300
Well like I love the small
things of like every time they

237
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:13,300
show Ben, Stiller basically
pumping out a large check for

238
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:17,700
his mom's retirement home.
His sister gives him a really

239
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:20,700
cheap meaningless Alice object,
right?

240
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,700
Like there's this there's this
essence of Like Walter.

241
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:28,700
Mitty is the man who just does
what he needs to do because he's

242
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:33,900
a responsible human being and I
feel like this movie, reflects

243
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:38,100
that attitude and every single
thing it just goes about doing

244
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:41,000
its job quietly and with
Excellence.

245
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,300
Yeah I'm well I could not have
said it any better myself.

246
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:47,400
That was really some better at
this than you really well done.

247
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:50,200
Well let's talk about And still
are a little bit then and we've

248
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,600
kind of hinted at him as
director, but let's talk about

249
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,500
him as actor.
Ben Stiller's one of those guys

250
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:59,300
that I feel like in the last
five or so years, we have kind

251
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:02,700
of forgotten about how wonderful
he is and how brilliant he is.

252
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,700
And if you kind of just plot out
the 21st century so far in terms

253
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:11,700
of, you know, film history, I
mean even like a Will Ferrell

254
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:14,600
hasn't quite had the longevity
of Ben Stiller.

255
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,400
He started off this Century with
Meet the Parents, which is one

256
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,600
of the the most successful
comedies of all time and then

257
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,400
Meet the Fockers, like, went way
far above and beyond that at the

258
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,600
box office, he directs
Zoolander.

259
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:29,700
He directs this movie, he
directs Tropic Thunder.

260
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:35,400
Like he has truly been a fixture
of American Comedy for years and

261
00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:37,800
years and years stretching, you
know, as far back as the late

262
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,600
80s, early 90s.
But I don't think we often kind

263
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,000
of frame him as potentially, the
most important figure in 21st

264
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,100
century comedy because Will
Ferrell, went on a run, That I

265
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:51,900
think a lot of people will just
remember forever with Anchorman

266
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,100
and Talladega Nights and all
those films, Adam Sandler, has

267
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:58,800
had really great longevity and
and Ben Stiller doesn't quite

268
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,300
have the like bombastic nature
of either of those two other

269
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:07,600
guys I just mentioned and yet I
feel like we've let him kind of

270
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,000
fly under the radar because of
that and you get him in a movie

271
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,700
like this and you're just
reminded like his comic timing

272
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:17,900
is absolutely impeccable.
He's just perfect in some of

273
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:22,300
these scenes where R.
He is very dryly giving you the

274
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:25,700
punchline, but then also
dramatically he really has the

275
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:27,900
chops, man.
I thought that he was just

276
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:31,800
excellent in this movie.
Yeah, honestly he I'm really

277
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,700
glad you brought up Adam Sandler
because I feel like Ben Stiller

278
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:41,700
is Adam Sandler without the poop
humor and and I mean that in a

279
00:15:41,708 --> 00:15:45,900
very good way.
You do you mean like, it kind of

280
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:48,800
helps that I think they look a
little bit alike There's

281
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,900
definitely a moment in this
movie when, when he is arguing

282
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:57,400
with the two guides that he
hired and he's got that red, you

283
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,100
know, hiking jacket on and it's
over his head he's got the

284
00:16:02,108 --> 00:16:05,900
glasses on I was like oh they
got a cameo with Adam Sandler in

285
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:09,500
here like a hundred percent.
I like I was convinced that that

286
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:11,800
was not Ben Stiller anymore as
Adam Sandler.

287
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,600
But I think that with Ben
Stiller, what you have in this

288
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,800
movie is a performance.
That once again, it just doesn't

289
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,400
call attention to itself and
that's what calls attention to

290
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,700
it, and makes it so daggone
good.

291
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,900
He's not trying to be showy.
He uses the little nuances of

292
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:35,600
the face of the eyes to really
draw you into his character.

293
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:38,400
Because, in all reality, he's
really boring.

294
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,700
He's a, he's a boring guy.
That doesn't have the courage to

295
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:46,000
ask a girl out in person.
And he still keeps a check book

296
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:48,600
which I guarantee you if we show
this to our Our kids and 10

297
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,700
years, they're going to be like,
why is he writing?

298
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,500
What is he writing?
What is right?

299
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,000
Why is he putting somebody is
writing?

300
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,200
Yeah that's actually probably
what it's gonna be but like I

301
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,000
think that's the beauty of his
character is that he doesn't

302
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,500
have to do anything showy to
draw you in as a viewer.

303
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,900
He just is.
And he's unique.

304
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:16,300
And he's interesting.
And I don't know, I think about

305
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,000
I don't remember where this
quote comes from, but basically

306
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,200
the most important asset that
any Studio has any director has

307
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,600
anything is a, is an actor's
face and like though, that is

308
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,600
the window into whether or not
somebody is a good actor is if

309
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,200
you are engaged with them, even
when they're not like gunning

310
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,200
down enemies in an action movie
or, you know, doing poop humor

311
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,400
and and in comedy movie These
things like that.

312
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,000
It's stuff like this.
Where you go?

313
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,700
Oh no.
Like Ben, Stiller can do the

314
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:55,900
comedy and he's really funny but
he's also just a really good

315
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:58,200
actor.
So I was on the cultural

316
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,400
Cesspool that is Twitter the
other day and you nailed it.

317
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,900
And there was a critic on there
that had just re-watched Walter

318
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:05,900
Mitty.
And he was talking about how

319
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:07,800
much he loved that movie, and
how bummed he was.

320
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,900
That more critics didn't get
behind it.

321
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:12,500
And I have to agree because I
went and looked at the, the

322
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:14,700
Metacritic score on this
afterwards and I think it's like

323
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,600
a 49 or something, it was really
low.

324
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:21,300
I was really shocked at that.
This movie just works.

325
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:24,300
I mean like it does exactly what
it sets out to do and I think it

326
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,400
really over achieves is the word
that I've been looking for this

327
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,800
movie just goes above and
beyond.

328
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,300
I think what anybody expected or
even asked of it.

329
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:36,200
And that kind of bums me out
because I feel like Ben Stiller

330
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,700
has some really excellent like
directorial, impulses, and I

331
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:44,200
feel like if this movie had been
a little bit better received, we

332
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,400
might have seen him kind of
pursue those a little bit more

333
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:49,600
and instead Like this movie
comes out, doesn't do super

334
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,800
well, the critics don't like it
and then he goes and makes

335
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,900
Zoolander 2 which is just an
awful awful and I love

336
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,500
Zoolander.
But but that movie is terrible

337
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:02,900
and it really just kind of
becomes a what-if for me because

338
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:05,900
I think Ben Stiller could have
leaned into this side of

339
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:09,100
himself, both as a director and
as a performer.

340
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,200
If this had been a little bit
better received, this is just

341
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,100
maybe it's just my perception
but you can confirm it for me or

342
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:22,300
not do In general, just dislike.
SNL alums when they move into

343
00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:23,500
Hallelujah.
I don't know.

344
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:26,100
That there's any Rhyme or Reason
to it like some movies that you

345
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:28,100
think are just not going to get
good reviews at all.

346
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,100
Just do.
I think a lot of that has to do

347
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:33,700
with the fact that like these
people are seeing 300-plus

348
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:38,000
movies a year and maybe they're
still pissed off at the MCU

349
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,400
movie.
They had to watch earlier in the

350
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,100
day and they don't they're
dreading writing that long essay

351
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:43,700
and then this hits them at a bad
time.

352
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:45,900
You know what I mean?
Like there's so many variables.

353
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:50,400
Like if this had opened in April
instead of September or whatever

354
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,500
the hell it opened like what
would it have caught people in a

355
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:55,900
different phase?
And I thought about that too.

356
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,200
Like, I've been trying to put
together, my own kind of like

357
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,800
top 10 list of 20 21 and I think
the most like important

358
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,200
impactful thing I saw in 21 was
the Bo Burnham special called

359
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,500
inside which has just haunted me
for months and months.

360
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:14,900
But at this point in my life
like almost 12 months later

361
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:18,100
after seeing that that really
dealt with like the Russian in

362
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:22,200
the paranoia of the pandemic and
I just went and saw the new Paul

363
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,900
Thomas Anderson movie last week.
Licorice pizza.

364
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,200
And that was the most.
Like, just I was like, grinning

365
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,400
at the screen for two hours.
I was so happy.

366
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,400
It was just a joyous movie and
I'm like, all right.

367
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,300
Well, one of them had a bigger
impact on me, but I don't know

368
00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:39,600
that I want that to be the movie
that I look back and that it

369
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,500
defines the year for me.
Do you know what I'm saying?

370
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,700
And so maybe this movie just
caught people at the wrong time.

371
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,300
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know why.

372
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:53,100
I literally have never once had
a movie, catch me at the wrong

373
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:55,300
time.
I've never had my emotions in

374
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:57,700
the way when I reviewed a movie
for the podcast.

375
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
So I think they're just I know
you've never ever not given a

376
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,800
movie.
A chance.

377
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,600
I have eternally given movies a
chance.

378
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,700
All right.
So we have already talked about

379
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:12,700
Kristen Wiig a little bit.
Let's let's kind of go down the

380
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:16,000
the cast list here.
Everybody else, is kind of a

381
00:21:16,008 --> 00:21:18,800
true supporting player.
You've Shirley MacLaine showing

382
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,600
up as his mob.
You've got Kathryn Hahn in kind

383
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,100
of a thankless role as his
sister.

384
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:27,300
You've got Sean Penn making a
great extended Cameo as Sean

385
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:31,600
O'Connell the photographer.
You've got Adam Scott from Parks

386
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,600
and Rec showing up as the The
Evil Nemesis of Walter bearded

387
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,400
the year.
Yeah, yeah.

388
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:39,300
Who do you want to talk about
first bread?

389
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:42,000
Can we, can we talk about Adam
Scott's beard for a minute?

390
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,700
Yeah, just the beard though.
Just the beard Bob.

391
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,500
I don't know it.
Like, I genuinely this.

392
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,900
Time through.
I remember the first time

393
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,800
through thinking like, oh,
that's just a bad costume.

394
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,600
Like, who did that this time
through?

395
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
I was like, did they meet it
intentionally?

396
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Because like by the end of the
film Walter comes back from his

397
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,800
journey and his one co-worker or
former co-workers that are all

398
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,500
getting fired is like why do you
look rugged?

399
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,900
And he's got like this little
stubble and right off and do you

400
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,300
like, am I just searching too
deep or do you think there was

401
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,500
like yeah he has to like fake
this beard.

402
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,500
Like he probably pays $500.
Hours for his haircut and beard

403
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:23,100
to be trimmed this way.
But Walter like earned it in the

404
00:22:23,108 --> 00:22:25,100
Himalayas.
Well, that might be.

405
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:26,400
I never thought about it that
deeply.

406
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:31,900
I do think the fake beard is, is
a, the worst fake piece of hair

407
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,500
I've ever seen ever ever and
land.

408
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:38,100
It has to be intentional like
this movie cost a lot of money

409
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:39,500
to make.
I can't imagine that they

410
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:42,600
because the thing is like, when
you, when you die something

411
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,700
pitch black, it is a color of
black that human hair cannot

412
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:48,500
actually.
Eve, exact.

413
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:51,800
And like, even though Adam Scott
has dark hair like the beard is

414
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:57,000
just significantly darker than
his actual air and it's the fact

415
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,500
that it is so perfectly
manicured, like it, it almost

416
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:06,900
looks like it was cgi'd onto his
face and pose maybe it's not

417
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:09,100
real.
And and Walter's just imagining

418
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:14,500
him with a beard.
Oh, that's a new Theory.

419
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,500
Yeah, well at the very least
we've decided, That the beard is

420
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,000
the worst character in the
movie.

421
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:24,200
I agree with that.
Wholeheartedly Shirley MacLaine,

422
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,600
though.
Wonderful.

423
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:27,000
Let's go.
Do you under fight?

424
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,800
Like, what a perfect supporting
performance.

425
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:35,800
I was just Enchanted by her
every time she was on screen.

426
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,700
So there's a huge plot point in
the movie where you find out.

427
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:41,400
Basically, the thing that sets
the movie into motion is that

428
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,000
Walter works at Life magazine.
And he develops photos,

429
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,200
especially for this very famous
photographer.

430
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,600
They find out that it is going
to be the last issue ever of

431
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,400
Life magazine in physical form,
and the photographer sends along

432
00:23:55,500 --> 00:24:00,500
a very prized - for Walter to
process and when they go to

433
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:03,000
like, you know, they take out
the whole roll of film and all

434
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,800
the negatives to develop and
it's not there.

435
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:07,700
And it sends Walter on this
journey, to find this

436
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:12,100
photographer recover this - and
you find out, basically the end

437
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:14,300
of the movie, Walter had it the
whole time and it was in a

438
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:17,500
wallet, which we'll talk about
that scene.

439
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,800
But that scene with Sean Penn is
really funny and I liked it a

440
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:20,600
lot.
Yeah.

441
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,200
Walter has discarded this wallet
at some point because he's so

442
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,600
frustrated about his life and
his choices.

443
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:30,100
And then you have, you know, the
reveal at the end that the Mom,

444
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,000
Shirley MacLaine rescued the
wallet out of the garbage and

445
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,400
Brad, I don't think you can
deliver those few lines she has

446
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,200
in that scene where she says,
like I always save all your

447
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,200
knickknacks and there is just
such a level of like Unbridled

448
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,000
love between mother and son in
that scene that she conveys

449
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,000
wordless lie and Stiller
conveys, wordless lie and it was

450
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,100
just such a touching moment that
I don't even know if it was

451
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:03,400
meant to be that touching in the
script but like, like it

452
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,600
legitimately got me a little bit
choked up because those two

453
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,300
actors just nailed that little
moment.

454
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:12,100
Yeah, I was going to say, I
think that's probably the most

455
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:15,400
poorly written line in the movie
like that.

456
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,900
There is for some reason that
just felt so awkward to me,

457
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:22,500
like, yeah, I always save your
knickknacks and and it feels

458
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,500
like forced because earlier she
has a line where she talks

459
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:28,900
about.
Oh, that's my Walter box and and

460
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:31,200
that's where I keep all my
Walter things.

461
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,600
And it feels like one of those
kind of forced like we had to

462
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,900
write that first line in order
to make sense of why she keeps

463
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:42,000
his wallet.
But all of that just fell away

464
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,400
when I watched Ben, Stiller,
look at his mom.

465
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:49,400
Gratitude for the fact that
she's being a mom.

466
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:51,600
Yep, it just it just all fell
away.

467
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,700
I didn't care about any of that.
I was like, yeah, we're good.

468
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:59,900
Mom does keep knickknacks.
I'm with you man.

469
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:02,700
And like again, these are the
little things that I think

470
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:06,700
helped this movie kind of Click
into Focus because even though

471
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:10,700
like on its surface, it has a
very clear message which is like

472
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:13,700
go out and live instead of
thinking about it.

473
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,500
When I started thinking about
like, all right, what's beneath?

474
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,700
The surface, like, what is this
movie really about?

475
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:22,900
I was kind of struggling because
I think sometimes it can send

476
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:25,500
mixed messages and sometimes I'm
just looking deeper than I need

477
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:28,400
to look, let's be honest.
But I think in moments like

478
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,400
that, this movie really kind of
lasers in on what it's trying to

479
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,600
say.
She saves all his knickknacks

480
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,300
because it's a way of
demonstrating that like, yes,

481
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:41,300
it's worth preserving things in
life, there are things worth

482
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,300
remembering and you shouldn't
throw them away, and you

483
00:26:43,308 --> 00:26:46,400
shouldn't move past them.
And like, Walters mom saves all.

484
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,900
Junk.
Because she's a mom, but it's

485
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:52,100
also like one more lesson that
Walters learning along the way

486
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:55,000
about, like, what it really
means to live life.

487
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,900
And it's that, yeah, we need to
collect these memories for

488
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:01,100
ourselves and I just I don't
think that would have been

489
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:04,600
conveyed if you were just
reading the script on the page

490
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,300
and it's just the performance of
those.

491
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:09,200
Two actors that make that just a
really special scene for me.

492
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,800
Well and the choice to not.
Look at the - right like at the

493
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,100
end.
His coworker asks him like like,

494
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,200
what was Jean.
It was the - and he goes, I

495
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,200
didn't look at it and you know,
the guy is like, oh, you're

496
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,200
crazy.
I don't understand you but like

497
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:29,900
the journey to get, the - is
what he needed to collect.

498
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:34,300
Not these actual - itself.
And so like that, that lesson is

499
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:38,500
just under laid so many
different times, but it's never,

500
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,800
it's never forced.
It's never shoved in the

501
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,200
audience's face.
I, you've talked about this

502
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,500
before, it's so frustrating when
a director Assumes that his

503
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:52,800
audience is stupid right and
this movie does not do that.

504
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:54,500
They don't shove it in your
face.

505
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:59,700
They don't force you to think
about what the deep meaning or

506
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:02,500
they don't just tell you what,
the deep meaning of the movie is

507
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:05,700
they let you suss it out for
yourself and it's not very far

508
00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:07,700
under the surface.
It's not like it's hard to

509
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:12,300
figure out but it's not right in
your face and I think still does

510
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:18,100
a really great job as an actor
and as a director Allowing the

511
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:21,800
audience to go on the journey
with him to find the meaning

512
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,700
that the movie is trying to sell
you.

513
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:26,100
All right, babe, I think we're
in a really good spot right now.

514
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,500
The, I'm excited to keep talking
about this movie because it's

515
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:33,400
just man, if Chef was a
feel-good movie, then this is a

516
00:28:33,408 --> 00:28:36,700
feel great movie.
Like, I came out of this just so

517
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:40,400
freaking happy, but let's
continue our happiness with a

518
00:28:40,408 --> 00:28:42,700
review of Glenlivet 12.
What do you say?

519
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:50,100
Let's get to it.
Alright, so today we are

520
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:53,600
checking out the Glenlivet
12-year single malt scotch

521
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,400
whiskey.
This is one of the most famous

522
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,800
brands of scotch you know in the
world over super historic.

523
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:01,500
If I'm being honest.
Brad.

524
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,900
I have really regretted the fact
that we did not pair this up

525
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:09,000
initially with our very first
preview episode Anchorman,

526
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,300
because this is Ron burgundy's
Scotch of choice, he orders two

527
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:15,300
fingers of Glenlivet when he
when he goes into the bar.

528
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:17,700
Yeah, Yeah, thinking about it
ever since man.

529
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:21,100
But, you know, we're close
enough here with Ben Stiller

530
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:22,800
movie.
I guess.

531
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:28,600
Well, we're kind of close
because, you know, they're both

532
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,500
men and they're similar age and
they act sent Ben Stiller was in

533
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:38,400
Anchorman.
So I know, man, I am excited for

534
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,600
this.
I will say that in the, in the

535
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,800
many, many jobs that I've
worked, I used to be.

536
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,100
Wedding coordinator help
weddings go smoothly.

537
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,900
And at one of those weddings
they had Glenlivet 12 double

538
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:58,200
oaked and I was a lot of try, a
few shots of it and I remember

539
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,200
thinking it was one of the first
scotches I ever had and I was

540
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,900
like man I think Scott really
has a lot to offer this is good

541
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:09,200
stuff so this is one that I've
honestly been quietly

542
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,800
anticipating so this is a space
side single malt.

543
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,900
We've had a couple space sides
on the show before note.

544
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,800
Tably a burl.
Our and I think one thing that

545
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,900
that at least I have noted about
them because Brad, I think you'd

546
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:24,700
like them a little more than me
is that they're just very mild.

547
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:27,500
They're really inoffensive.
You're not going to get tons of

548
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:29,900
Pete on top of something from
this region, at least,

549
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:34,100
typically, this is clocking in
at 40% ABV or 80 proof.

550
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:37,400
So, it is, I mean, it's just a
really light whiskey, but this

551
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,500
is the first time we've had an
80 proof in.

552
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:42,800
It's been a while agent.
This is a guy's like a lot of

553
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,600
really?
Yeah, really long time.

554
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,300
So I'm actually trying it live.
The show Brad, you've already

555
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:51,100
taken notes so while I give this
a nose and a sip, can you give

556
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:52,900
us your scores for both of those
categories?

557
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Yeah, the nose for me was this
like Creamsicle orange almost

558
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,300
heavy on the orange side.
With a little bit of Honey, a

559
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:08,000
little bit of vanilla I really,
really love this like soft.

560
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,800
Gentle creamy knows, I will give
it an eight and a half on the

561
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,900
nose and then the taste jumped
into there's Like a candied,

562
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:19,200
orange.
But then it was a little bit

563
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,500
nutty.
I got to, like, soft hint of

564
00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:25,200
cinnamon on there.
I really like the taste as well.

565
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,900
I'll give it an 8 out of 10.
So an eight and a half on the

566
00:31:27,908 --> 00:31:29,800
nose.
Eight out of ten on the palate.

567
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:32,400
Yeah, I'm with you, man.
There's a lot of citrus fruit on

568
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,500
this.
I don't know if it's quite

569
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,600
orange for me, but it's
definitely in that family.

570
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,500
You're totally right.
I got a little bit of pear on

571
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,700
the nose as well.
When it comes to The Taste, I

572
00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:44,400
got like some apricot as well,
which was really, really nice.

573
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,800
And I'm not used to that.
I think on the nose, it's just,

574
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,700
it's super Pleasant.
There's not much more to say,

575
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:54,200
there's not a strong scent of
like multi-.

576
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,700
It really does kind of stay in
that fruity area.

577
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,800
I think I'll give it a seven and
a half on the nose on The Taste.

578
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,100
It's really beautiful.
Like all that creaminess you

579
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:05,100
were talking about comes out.
It starts out fruity it kind of

580
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:09,200
goes into like a like a really
heavy cream kind of flavor and

581
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,300
then on the back end you're
right.

582
00:32:10,300 --> 00:32:14,800
It's like black coffee, with a
couple dashes of cinnamon on

583
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,900
top.
Really.

584
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,400
Ali really nice.
I like this a lot especially at

585
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,200
80 proof.
This doesn't seem like a

586
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,000
watered-down experience that the
mouthfeel is not super thin.

587
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:28,300
The alcohol has just enough of a
tingle to let you know.

588
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:30,600
It's there.
I think this is really nice on

589
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,200
the pallet Brad.
So I think I'm going to give it

590
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,900
a 9 out of 10 on the palate as I
get into the finish, it has just

591
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:39,700
the tiniest hint of like, I
don't know.

592
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:42,200
I didn't even want to call it a
sour finish that there's just a

593
00:32:42,208 --> 00:32:47,000
little hint of something there.
But overall, It's it's a little

594
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,600
bit, okey there's a lot of
orange for me that has persisted

595
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,500
through the entire experience.
But overall, I think what I love

596
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:57,600
most about the finish, I feel
like I just ate like a spoonful

597
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,300
of honey and there's just this
nice soft honey, presence on my,

598
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,900
on my tongue, in my throat, as I
finish, I really like the finish

599
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:07,100
a lot.
I'm going to jump back up to an

600
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:09,500
eight and a half.
Yeah I'm pretty much right there

601
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:11,100
with you.
I think I'm going to give it an

602
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:14,500
eight and a half even though I
kind of only think it's an eight

603
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:15,800
but that's because I want to
bump up.

604
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:19,100
Up my seven and a half.
No score to 1/8 so this will

605
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,300
help balance it out nicely.
You're right.

606
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:23,400
There is something right there
on the very end.

607
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,800
That's like a shout of a
cigarette tray.

608
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,700
Like there's just this really
burnt kind of a she thing going

609
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:33,500
on that almost turns the
experience a little bit bitter,

610
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,800
but I think ultimately like what
you're left with are those

611
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,500
sweeter lighter notes so I'm
going to give it an eight and a

612
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,700
half on the nose on balance
bread.

613
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:44,200
At this, is a really
well-balanced whiskey.

614
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,800
I can't think of a lot of things
that I would.

615
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:47,900
Get on except for maybe that
one.

616
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Kind of off note in the finish.
I guess, I'll give it an eight

617
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,800
and a half again on balance.
Yeah, dude, I'm with you, man.

618
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,400
That like there's nothing about
this whiskey that's like, out of

619
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,300
this world but there's
absolutely nothing about it.

620
00:34:01,300 --> 00:34:03,900
That's poorly done.
So I'm with you, dude.

621
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,500
Eight and a half.
It's just a really solid

622
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:09,800
drinking experience.
And then when we jump into

623
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,500
value, Bob this bottle of
whiskey will set you back in the

624
00:34:13,507 --> 00:34:16,400
state of Ohio.
Dollars.

625
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,500
And if you really love it, you
can jump up to a whole liter for

626
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:23,900
only $10 more $55 and you got a
leader, this bad boy.

627
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:25,900
All right.
So that that's really not bad at

628
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:26,400
all.
Brad.

629
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,300
What are you thinking for your
value score?

630
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:34,100
I mean I think this is one of
one of the better values in a

631
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:36,800
single malt that you can really
grab.

632
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:41,600
I'll give it an 8 out of 10 on
the value like it's not perfect

633
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,199
this isn't my favorite Scotch
out there.

634
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:47,199
I really I think I might like a
bird our a little More overall,

635
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,000
but this is really good stuff
and 45 bucks.

636
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,000
Go get yourself some come on.
Yeah, I think I'll give it an

637
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,500
eight and a half as well.
This is definitely towards the

638
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:59,700
top of the Heap.
When it comes to Affordable

639
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:03,500
single malts, we're actually
starting four consecutive weeks

640
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,600
of Glenlivet products here, and
that's because we got ourselves

641
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,700
this nice little sample pack of
for Glenlivet.

642
00:35:09,700 --> 00:35:15,200
So they're 50 ml samples of the,
12-year the founders reserve,

643
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:19,200
the Ian reserve and the 14 year
and in the state of Ohio that

644
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,300
for pack costs 999.
So we had essentially, I think

645
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,600
we split my sample into two.
So Brad, we just had a dollar

646
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,100
twenty-five is worth of whiskey
and if that's the criteria for

647
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:34,200
the value score than this is
like a 14 out of 10 because I

648
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,000
will have darn good dollar 25.
We just spent, I think, you

649
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,700
know, for the price of a 750
milliliter bottle.

650
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,600
I'm going to go eight and a
half, but I will say, if you can

651
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,800
find Glenlivet sampler.
Please get that because it is a

652
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,400
really, really great value.
Yeah.

653
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,100
That brings my total score out
to a 41.5 out of 50.

654
00:35:57,500 --> 00:36:00,100
I'm going to 42 out of 50.
So that is taking us to a

655
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:05,400
41-point 75 or an eighty three
point five out of a hundred.

656
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,100
This is kind of approaching the
upper reaches of our scores and

657
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,500
I think it's because it's such
an affordable bottle.

658
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,800
Yeah.
The the quality of the juice

659
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:20,600
inside this 45 dollar single
malt speyside is almost

660
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,100
unmatched.
So go out.

661
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:26,700
Get yourself some Glenlivet 12
immediately.

662
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:30,700
It is honestly Bob right now, it
doesn't, it doesn't try too

663
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:33,200
hard.
It doesn't, it's not too showy.

664
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,100
It's not putting itself out
there thinking.

665
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:39,100
It's more than it is.
It's just almost exactly like

666
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,800
the movie.
We're watching the vector midi

667
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,800
of Whiskey's.
It's the Walter Mitty of

668
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,700
Whiskey's whiskey midi right
here.

669
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,200
Whiskey midi.
All right man.

670
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,700
Let's get back into talking
about the movie.

671
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:52,100
What do you say?
Let's have at it, man.

672
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:56,900
I'm excited.
All right.

673
00:36:56,900 --> 00:36:59,600
That was Glenlivet 12-year a
whiskey that we really really

674
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,100
liked Brad.
Before we left for the break, we

675
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:05,900
kind of talked about Sean Penn
and his extended Cameo here as

676
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:08,500
Sean, O'Connell the photographer
man.

677
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:12,100
Oh man, is Sean Penn.
Like he just comes off the bench

678
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:15,600
and hits 18 three-pointers in a
row like that, the entire

679
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,300
sequence of Ben Stiller
encountering him on that

680
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:21,900
Mountainside, and them sharing
that little moment.

681
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:25,500
And then going to play soccer,
man, Sean Penn In is such a good

682
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:26,800
actor.
I don't know if you guys needed

683
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,200
to know that but Academy Award
winner Sean Penn actually a good

684
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,900
actor.
Yeah, I think there's a reality

685
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:37,800
where I actually don't know if I
like Sean Penn as an actor

686
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,000
primarily because I've not
really seen many of his films.

687
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,400
I get that.
You know, and you like him here

688
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,900
though is the real question.
I do like him.

689
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,700
I think he plays a small enough
role that he's not overwhelming.

690
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,500
Yeah, you get that one, you
know, fun.

691
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:57,300
But really the ones.
Scene with him where they're

692
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:00,200
they're checking out the snow
leopard and he kind of imparts

693
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,700
the wisdom of the movie of,
like, sometimes you don't need

694
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:05,500
to take the picture sometimes,
just the journey to get there

695
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,900
is, is worth more than what the
picture is worth.

696
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:13,200
And yeah, there's like something
nice about that scene, but I

697
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,800
don't know if he added like a
ton of the movie.

698
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,400
I think you could have replaced
him with, with other actors, but

699
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,800
I thought it was I thought he
was solid good.

700
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:31,100
When are you gonna take it?
sometimes, I don't if I like a

701
00:38:31,107 --> 00:38:39,000
moment.
Made me personally, I don't like

702
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:48,500
to have the distraction the Kim.
Just want to stay in it.

703
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,700
Stand up.
Yeah, right there.

704
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:02,000
Right here.
I think when you have a moment

705
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,600
like this, when you have the
like surprise celebrity Cameo,

706
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:09,800
there's a lot of ways that could
go and I think Sean Penn is one

707
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,100
of those guys who likes to play
understated sometimes and you

708
00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:16,400
know, he'd like, I like that.
He's very restrained here

709
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,800
because I think you could slide
a number of very famous people

710
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,600
into this role, but it would
ultimately take away from the

711
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,400
movie.
Like, if you put George Clooney

712
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:31,100
in here, he's so disarmingly,
you know, ride and That it

713
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:33,100
wouldn't fit with what this
character is supposed to be.

714
00:39:33,100 --> 00:39:36,100
You could not put a Tom Hanks in
this role even though he could

715
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:40,700
very well acted like it's just
the the tone and the vibe that

716
00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:44,000
those kind of guys bring to the
table, I think really could take

717
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,400
away from it here.
And Sean Penn does kind of have

718
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,400
that like he has the look and
feel of a guy who's traveled,

719
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,300
the world and is speaking from a
place of wisdom.

720
00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:55,600
And I think he plays that
really, really well.

721
00:39:55,900 --> 00:39:59,500
Yeah, these got that hermit
photographer vibe that is nails.

722
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,400
I wouldn't mind.
I wouldn't mind seeing like a

723
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,900
Tommy Lee Jones in this role
just as a guy who's, like really

724
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:08,600
pissed and annoyed that Walter
Mitty showed up, you know what I

725
00:40:08,607 --> 00:40:09,200
mean?
Yeah.

726
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,500
Just given him tons of get the F
out of my shot and then he just

727
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:16,500
does the whole monologue from no
country.

728
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:23,200
And then that's the end of the
movie directed by the Coen

729
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,200
Brothers.
All right, man, I think that we

730
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,500
have discussed this movie
probably enough.

731
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:29,500
At this point, I love this movie
a lot.

732
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:33,000
Is it a perfect movie know?
And I think I've said that twice

733
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
and the reason primarily that I
say that is I think that some of

734
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,500
Walters Flights of Fancy, they
get their point across and then

735
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:44,000
they go on for like another two
minutes longer than they need to

736
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,200
go.
And there's one in particular,

737
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,100
it's the one where, where he
Stretch Armstrong, it's the one

738
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:51,900
where?
No, not even that one summer.

739
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:55,200
He imagines that he has Benjamin
Button disorder and, and the

740
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,700
joke is like, haven't seen the
movie yet, but like that, That

741
00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:04,400
little vignette feels like a
clip from any other movie, Ben

742
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,400
Stiller has ever done.
It's very silly, it's very

743
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,400
over-the-top.
And it really every time I watch

744
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,500
this movie, they go so far into
the future, where he's dying of

745
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:18,300
Benjamin Button disorder.
And it's like, it just pulls me

746
00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:20,100
out of what this movie is trying
to do.

747
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:24,800
And I honestly think like if you
had just not put that one gag in

748
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,000
the movie, my score on this
movie would be like at least a

749
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,600
half Point higher, you know.
In like I really want to give

750
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,600
this movie a 9 because I love it
a lot.

751
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,300
I'm kind of leaning towards an
eight and a half and I hate to

752
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:42,400
say it but I think it's because
there are still a few moments in

753
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,400
this movie where man you really
could have had me saying this

754
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,000
was like an Alzheimer and
instead it's just like a very,

755
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,800
very good film, that kind of
punches above its weight class

756
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,000
for me.
So I'm going to give it an eight

757
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
and a half out of ten.
Yeah, I think that's a fair

758
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:57,800
score.
Bob.

759
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,500
I'm going to sum up all my
Nations with this movie, in just

760
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:09,500
a simple way, it has kind of a
Family Guy syndrome to it, like

761
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:12,000
there's a lot of jokes in the
movie.

762
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,300
There's even some of the serious
stuff that they do.

763
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,600
That just lingers a little too
long.

764
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,200
It goes a little too far and
that's like Family Guys entire

765
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,400
premise, right?
Like the whole idea of the show

766
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,700
is, let's just go a little too
far with everything, you know,

767
00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:32,300
they're not South They're not
going just wildly out of bounds

768
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:37,900
and just disgusting ways usually
but Family Guy has that.

769
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:39,500
That's like they're stick.
That's what they do.

770
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:43,300
They go a little too far with
everything and it's mostly

771
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:47,600
pretty amusing.
This movie does that with a lot

772
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,200
of different things.
Whether it's his his Flights of

773
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:55,900
Fancy, or the the awkward humor,
sometimes, or even when they're

774
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:58,900
trying to be serious.
It just it just lasts a little

775
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:01,200
bit too long.
Long as watching this, with my

776
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,200
friend Michael and the the scene
that I mentioned earlier where

777
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,800
he looks like Adam Sandler, they
literally spend about 45 to 60

778
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,800
seconds of screen time.
Like just just stick you lating

779
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,800
back and forth about like it's
almost like a Monty Python skit

780
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:21,500
like like no, no you're going,
but I but I'm staying and then

781
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:25,600
they're like, oh no.
So we take leave the sun here

782
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,900
until he leaves and you're like
no no.

783
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,700
Let me re explain it.
It's like, it's funny.

784
00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:36,000
It's fine, but it goes on too
long and so, yeah, I'm with you,

785
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,100
dude.
I think that this is a just

786
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:41,500
fantastically Pleasant fun movie
to watch.

787
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:45,500
It's pleasing to the eye to the
ear like that.

788
00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:47,900
Like, I really like the
soundtrack that they use, for

789
00:43:47,900 --> 00:43:52,200
this movie, the songs that they
insert, I really enjoy Kristen

790
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,500
Wiig and how she.
And, and Ben Stiller just

791
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:58,800
portray a really fun relaxed
romance.

792
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,600
That doesn't die.
Dominate the movie.

793
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,000
There's a lot to love about this
movie.

794
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,300
I think, honestly, Bob this is
the perfect whiskey and movie

795
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:11,500
pairing of 40 out of 50 is
pretty much an 8 out of 10, so

796
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:13,200
I'm going to give this an 8 out
of 10 Bob.

797
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:16,100
All right, there you have it.
We have a shout-out to an eight

798
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:20,400
point two five out of ten.
I kind of do almost want to, but

799
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,800
mine up to a nine.
Just so that the average score

800
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,600
is a little higher because I
think when I look at this movie,

801
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,500
they means more to me and I
think it really is about.

802
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:34,000
Filmed in an 82 out of 100, but
let's let our audience decide.

803
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:37,400
Have you guys seen Walter Mitty?
If so, what do you think of it?

804
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,500
Is it closer to a nine or is it
closer to a 2?

805
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,000
Who knows what kind of answer
we're going to get, but you can

806
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,100

accounts on Facebook, Twitter or

Now in your list and I have them
all in the randomizer wheel

816

fate of our podcast next week?
I am so excited.

818
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,800
Bob, you know what this week?
I'm going to make some wheel

819
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,900
clicking sounds.
You ready?

820
00:45:26,100 --> 00:45:30,300
Thank God.
Dddd.

821
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:34,800
Dddd, dddd.
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t Oh, we're

822
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,200
looking at the first movie in a
really, really good Trilogy.

823
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,900
And then a really bad reboot.
The first one is called The

824
00:45:41,900 --> 00:45:45,300
Bourne Identity.
The Matt Damon finds a man.

825
00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:46,700
I haven't Brett.
I'm telling you, I haven't seen

826
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:50,400
the first one in years and years
so I'm really excited for that.

827
00:45:50,500 --> 00:45:54,800
But until then I'm Bob book, I'm
Brad G and we'll see you next

828
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:55,200
time.
