The Silence of the Lambs / Old Tub feat. It's Bourbon Night
Bob and Brad are joined by Chad and Sara from It's Bourbon Night to talk about the Best Picture-winning 1991 thriller The Silence of the Lambs. Brad's never seen this one, and our guests hosts are all too eager to get him acclimated to the horrors that await him.
Meanwhile, they all sip on Old Tub, a bottled-in-bond bourbon from Jim Beam. Previously only available in 375-mL special-edition bottles at their Clermont, KY distillery, Beam Suntory has taken this product national, and at a more-than-reasonable price, too. Does it stand up against other budget bourbons?

This is the film and whiskey

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:44,900
podcast.
Welcome to the film and whiskey
8
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:47,700
podcast, where each week, we
review a classic movie and a
9
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,500
glass of whiskey.
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G and
10
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:56,200
this week we are looking at the
1991 Best Picture Winner.
11
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,300
The Silence of the Lambs Brad.
This is kind of lining up at a
12
00:01:00,308 --> 00:01:02,900
perfect time for us.
We are in the middle of women's
13
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:05,300
History Month.
This movie has one of the best
14
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:08,700
female protagonist of all time,
and it's also kind of kick
15
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,600
starting a new series for us
where we're going to be looking
16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600
at Best Picture winners.
So we've selected a number of
17
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,300
Best Picture winners in the
lead-up to next month's.
18
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:22,100
Oscars, I'm super pumped to use
this movie as our Bridge movie
19
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,700
to talk about today, you know,
Bob, I'm just going to be
20
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,400
upfront and honest.
This is one of those movies.
21
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:33,400
Is that when you were a young
lad in the early to mid-1990s,
22
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,300
you would be perusing the, the
walls of a of your local
23
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:41,000
Blockbuster Blockbuster.
For those of you young enough
24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,800
was a place where you went to
like, get movies and you gave
25
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,200
them money and you brought them
home for like a week.
26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,200
Is that a good explanation?
Yeah, I think it is.
27
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,300
But yeah, I would go to
Blockbuster and I would see this
28
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,400
movie on the shelves and there
was just something.
29
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,900
Thing about it, that was
absolutely terrifying to like
30
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,400
five six seven year, old me.
And I don't know if that horror
31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,500
has ever left me and I've like
refused to watch this movie.
32
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,700
So I just want you to know that,
I still haven't watched it and
33
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:15,100
we're just going to make stuff
up.
34
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,900
Please, please tell me that's a
joke.
35
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,700
Bob, the best part is that
there's a part of you that
36
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:27,800
really is wondering.
Oh absolutely, I'm Brad, you
37
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600
know.
I did watch the movie for this.
38
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,900
I just want you to know how much
I love you.
39
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,800
This podcast and filming whiskey
Nation enough to overcome this
40
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,500
deep-seated childhood fear.
Well, I'll tell you what, man,
41
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:42,600
it is a justifiable fear because
there are elements of this
42
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,000
movie, that are absolutely
terrifying.
43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,700
It is one of only a handful of
movies that could be considered
44
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:52,300
a horror movie that have ever
been nominated for Best Picture
45
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:53,700
Brad, we're going to get into
it.
46
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:54,700
We're going to break it all
down.
47
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:57,300
We're going to talk about your
first time watching this movie,
48
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:00,500
but in order to do that, that we
need to welcome in some special
49
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,800
guest hosts.
We have Chad and Sarah with us
50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200
from the YouTube channel.
It's bourbon night.
51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,900
Chad and Sarah.
How are you guys doing?
52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,400
We're doing great.
Pretty good.
53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,400
Thank you so much for being
along on the ride watching this.
54
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:18,400
Highly uncomfortable film.
I'm really excited to see how we
55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,100
talk about this one, as we kind
of intro the movie.
56
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,300
Before we talk about anything
else.
57
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,900
What made you choose this movie
to come on our show and talk
58
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,700
about today?
That's a good question.
59
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:37,100
I think your question.
I mean I shocker love serial
60
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:39,700
killer information.
I don't know, like
61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400
documentaries.
So Shane she learned refers to
62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,300
them as how to's?
Well, I'm sure.
63
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:50,800
Really is more of a how to not
not be kidnapped and have your
64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,400
skin worn as a suit.
That's more of those live a
65
00:03:54,408 --> 00:03:58,000
little over how to Amman
typically used formation.
66
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,500
Yeah, these are things.
Honestly, I was a little worried
67
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,000
that you were just going to
leave it at.
68
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:06,100
I love cereal.
Oh, I love serial killers.
69
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,100
That's why she married me.
I still have even been caught.
70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,600
No, I just, I find, I think
it's, you know, some people will
71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,500
be, like, why are you scared of
monster movies but not serial
72
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,600
killer movies and I'm like, I
don't know why.
73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,899
I think I find there's comfort
in like seeing it play out this
74
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:25,000
real life threat and like, hmm,
think seeing how things happen
75
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,300
and thinking like, how would I
defend against that?
76
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,600
It's almost soothing Away.
No, that's probably weird.
77
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,400
No, it's cathartic to think
about how you defend your site.
78
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,600
As I get out, I'm trying to
prepare myself, right?
79
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,500
Little sure toolkit Chad, why
did you pick this movie?
80
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:42,200
I, I was not.
What do you want?
81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,700
Yes, exactly.
I was kind of, like, A League of
82
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:45,900
Their Own.
That's fun.
83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Like, like a good husband.
I was like, absolutely not.
84
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,200
We need dark and I'm here.
I can't remember the list now,
85
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,200
but wasn't like Wally on there
or something.
86
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,200
Oh yeah.
And I was, I was my second
87
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400
choice like, oh, Wally.
The League of Their Own, you
88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,500
know?
And it's there was like, sounds
89
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,300
of lamps.
It's like, yeah, sounds good
90
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:05,300
definitely.
That's the one.
91
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,500
So Sarah, you're like, movie,
preferences are either serial
92
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,000
killer movies or Pixar.
Correct.
93
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:16,400
Now, when they can combine the
two, that is it.
94
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,000
That is the next Oscar winner.
That's a day.
95
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200
We're looking forward to.
I mean, I'd watch it.
96
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Absolutely, it would be great.
All right guys, so can you break
97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,700
down for us a little bit about,
you know, the the Should have
98
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:31,700
the YouTube channel, maybe how
you guys met some of our
99
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,500
listeners.
I'm sure are familiar with you.
100
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,800
You have an incredibly
successful YouTube channel.
101
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,700
I am a huge fan.
I've been subscribing for a
102
00:05:37,707 --> 00:05:41,100
couple of years now but but
yeah, absolutely.
103
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,100
Thank you.
I have to thank you even before
104
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:47,000
you get started on your intro
for introducing us to the phrase
105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Kentucky hug, which is something
that we have wholeheartedly
106
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,300
stolen from you.
And it is, it's really, really
107
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:56,900
helpful for us to use as we talk
about tasting whiskey.
108
00:05:57,300 --> 00:05:58,200
So what?
Thank you.
109
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,900
For the Kentucky hug, first of
all?
110
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,900
Yeah, absolutely.
We will Kentucky hug.
111
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:05,000
Anyone who wants to be Kentucky
hooked?
112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,500
We can't take credit for it.
Credit goes to Fred.
113
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:13,400
No from Jim Beam, but yeah, we
definitely can take a little bit
114
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,900
of credit for spreading it
around.
115
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:16,700
It's meant to be shared.
Yeah, absolutely.
116
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,400
Had, I'm curious.
It would your serial killer
117
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,800
named be the Kentucky hugger?
Yeah, I got a pretty good bear
118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,100
hug.
So I would you know, start off.
119
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,000
Ice and they were like, oh, this
is a little little too tight
120
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,100
there buddy, little
uncomfortable.
121
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:35,600
And then, if you like help and
then it's lights out, we are off
122
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,900
to a great start you guys.
I'm not sure how I feel about
123
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:43,300
that.
So walk us through like the
124
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,000
creation of the YouTube channel
and how you guys came to be
125
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,300
where you are today.
Oh goodness, I'll try to make it
126
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,100
the I tend to go off on tangents
so I'll try to make it The
127
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,700
Abridged version but we're both
working.
128
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:00,500
I was working in marketing.
Apartment for a restaurant group
129
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,500
that was opening a bourbon bar.
So I was getting really
130
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,700
interested in Bourbon because I
was like Hey I've lived in
131
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,000
Kentucky my whole life.
Now I'm working on this bar
132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,900
that's going to have 200 plus
Bourbons.
133
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:11,900
I could probably couldn't even
name 20.
134
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,500
So I was like, okay, I'm
starting to get more into
135
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:16,700
bourbon.
We were shooting a video for
136
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,400
that particular bar that was
opening.
137
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,900
Chad, worked on the video crew.
We met, we did a couple
138
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:25,200
different shoots over the course
of a few months.
139
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:31,400
So we started hanging out and In
our own bourbon nights as
140
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,700
friends.
We kept it as friends for a
141
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,800
while then we realized as we
were doing these bourbon, I
142
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,000
swear we do tastings and flights
and things like, wait a second,
143
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,900
Chad you're in video production,
I'm in marketing, our powers
144
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:45,800
combined.
We could create a YouTube
145
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800
channel, you'll be unstoppable.
Know, it was really more just
146
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,700
like, Hey, we're doing this, why
not try to make something fun
147
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,100
out of it, even if it's just a
hobby that is for ourselves, we
148
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,200
never really expected and much
too.
149
00:07:58,300 --> 00:07:59,800
Come of it.
I mean, I remember one day we
150
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,100
were like, can you imagine if we
ever had like a thousand
151
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,100
subscribers?
Like, what if we read 10,000
152
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,700
subscribers?
That would be crazy.
153
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,000
That's not even real.
And now here we are.
154
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,200
Yeah, it's been, it'll be five
years.
155
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,100
This June that we've been
working on the channel.
156
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:17,400
And, I mean, it still feels new
though.
157
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,700
Feels like we just started it
yesterday, and it also feels
158
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,600
like we've been doing it for
forever because the community is
159
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,500
so amazing, and they just feel
like family.
160
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,600
And I can't imagine, you know,
doing anything else to be
161
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,800
honest.
True.
162
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,400
I had always kind of been
looking well, not always for,
163
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,600
for a couple years.
I had had the idea of a YouTube
164
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,100
channel in my head and I was
kind of looking for the right
165
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,700
person to do it along with me,
because I knew that I wasn't
166
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,400
going to do it solo scouted me.
Yeah.
167
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,400
So then when Sarah came along, I
was like, ah, this we met for a
168
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,100
reason.
Yes, let's let's do this.
169
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200
Let's do this YouTube thing so
it just made sense you know.
170
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,200
Of course we spent a lot of time
together and there was bourbon
171
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:02,400
Moved, you know what trips
travel and just got to know each
172
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,000
other over time and you know
eventually Chiapas like so do
173
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,700
you want to get married or what?
Yes, I just came down to the
174
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,200
courthouse.
Then no.
175
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,000
I mean, I definitely thought
about it but no we ended up
176
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,100
doing the whole big thing and it
was like, what the fall of 2019.
177
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,400
So literally one of the last big
events that we did before we got
178
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,100
out in under the wire and right?
Yeah.
179
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Yeah logs and say you guys are
located in Lexington.
180
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,500
One of the my favorite weddings
that I've ever officiated was
181
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:37,200
right in Triangle Park.
Right downtown.
182
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,800
It was like in the middle of
December, at midnight and I did
183
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,500
a wedding for battle and there's
like 50 people there and it was
184
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,700
a blast, that's awesome.
So I will say, what, what Brad
185
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:50,700
was talking about is a perfect
segue because as I was reading
186
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:53,900
your background and kind of the
Inception of this, this YouTube
187
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:56,000
channel.
I realized that we actually had
188
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,900
a ton of overlap because Brad,
And I were actually going to
189
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:04,000
grad school in Wilmore while you
guys were starting this Channel.
190
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,500
And so when I was reading like,
you know, some interviews that
191
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:11,200
Sarah had done where she talked
about starting this bourbon bar
192
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,500
was like, oh my gosh, that has
to be 0, BC kitchen, right?
193
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:17,100
And and then I realized that was
the first bourbon bar I ever
194
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,200
went to that was where I kind of
fell in love with bourbon and I
195
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400
remember going there with my
wife and looking at the awesome
196
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400
b-roll that was playing on the
TVs.
197
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,000
And and now knowing that that
was Chad Film that.
198
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:32,400
And that Sarah, you were like
launching that bourbon bar.
199
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,600
Like that's, it's just
incredible to me.
200
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Like, I used to go there as a
poor grad student, and wait
201
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,400
until the kitchen closed at
10:00 and asked them if they had
202
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,200
any more, you know, bacon with
peanut butter to dip it in and
203
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,200
they would just give it to me
and it was like, heaven.
204
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,500
So, I feel like I have to
express my gratitude for that
205
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:54,000
place to both of you for making
it so special to me.
206
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:56,300
Well, they're not supposed to
feed Strays know.
207
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,000
That's so nice to hear, you
know, that's it.
208
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,600
Yeah, it's sometimes it, I
forget until we take people back
209
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,800
there when they come in town to
visit because like we just don't
210
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,300
get out that much anymore.
Sure ably.
211
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,300
But whenever we do end up going
there and I see that video.
212
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,200
I mean it's definitely gives you
the feels because I'm like well
213
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,700
this is where it all began.
Yeah, we okay, if it hadn't been
214
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:22,100
for that place we probably never
would have met so probably not.
215
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,800
That's awesome.
It's very special.
216
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:27,700
It's wild because it really
speaks to like what the heart of
217
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:32,100
the Community is all about that.
It is all about bringing people
218
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,400
together, to share great
experiences and sometimes, you
219
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,900
never know, it leads to love and
sometimes it leads to us talking
220
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,700
about serial killer movies tag
on, right?
221
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,600
It does Brad.
This is your first time watching
222
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,000
The Silence of the Lambs.
It's time for us to move into
223
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,400
the segment that we call Brad
explains.
224
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,000
This is where Brad breaks down
the plot of the movie that he
225
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
has just seen often for the
first time if you are a
226
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,100
first-time listener to our
Podcast.
227
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
The whole conceit behind this
podcast is that I am a huge
228
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,900
movie nerd.
Brad has not seen a lot of these
229
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,700
classic movies and is
encountering.
230
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,600
A lot of them for the first time
and we drink whiskey together
231
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,700
while we talk about it.
So, Brad, this is your shining
232
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,700
opportunity to talk about this
movie that has terrified you
233
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,200
from childhood.
As you know, Brad we have
234
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,000
implemented a strict 62nd.
Brad explains limit this this
235
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,300
season.
Can you break down the plot of
236
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:27,500
The Silence of the Lambs for our
listeners in under 60 seconds,
237
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,900
man?
I was really hoping to like have
238
00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:33,400
as much time as possible and
just be like we start alone,
239
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,900
Jodie, Foster running through
the woods, right?
240
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,500
Yeah, but I would love to
explain it.
241
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:43,300
The Silence of the Lambs is a
psychological Thriller about a
242
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:48,100
young FBI's student named
Clarice Starling, who is tasked
243
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:53,100
with interviewing, an old serial
killer who was a cannibal named
244
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:56,900
Hannibal Lecter.
And Hannibal is helping her to
245
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,000
solve a case.
Case that is happening.
246
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,200
Now the new sillier serial
killer named Buffalo.
247
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,700
Bill who is skinning?
His captives alive.
248
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:12,000
And so the relationship between
ha and Starling is kind of the
249
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800
centerpiece of the movie.
Hannibal is, actually a
250
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,200
psychiatrist.
He's dr.
251
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,300
Hannibal Lecter.
And so he's delving into her
252
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:22,800
history and her past and trying
to glean as much as he can to
253
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,300
find anything interesting to go
on in this prison cell that has
254
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,400
stuck in.
And at a certain point later in
255
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,800
the movie Hannibal, kind of a
range has a transfer to a new
256
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,800
prison.
He escaped skills.
257
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Some guards, wears a face and
Jodie Foster finds her way with
258
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,800
Hannibal's, help to the new
serial killers Lair, and she is
259
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,500
able to hunt down and kill the
serial killer Buffalo Bill and
260
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:52,400
his lair, and time in his lair.
Perfect it.
261
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,200
Yeah, I was trying not to say
layer twice in a row.
262
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,200
I'll tell you what man that she
saves the day, man.
263
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Most states.
Do you need a serial killers
264
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,900
dwellings?
Yeah, I know.
265
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:08,300
Yeah but I have to end with one
of the greatest ending lines in
266
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:12,100
the history of Cinema.
I'm having an old friend for
267
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,400
dinner.
Oh, it's so good.
268
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,600
Okay, so I just have to share
something real quick, so Sarah.
269
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,400
And I watch this, what would you
say to next three weeks ago?
270
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,300
Now, I would say it was, at
least a month ago.
271
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:26,700
Yeah, probably a month ago.
We probably watched it a little
272
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:29,100
bit too far.
Out from from our recording and
273
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:31,300
we were excited.
We've both seen it before, but
274
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,400
we hadn't seen in a long time.
Anyway, so today we're like,
275
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:38,300
let's watch one of those recap
videos on YouTube just you know,
276
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,500
just to refresh our memories and
it's been a month.
277
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,200
This guy who was doing it, it
was like one of those, you know,
278
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:50,100
Recaps and five minutes.
He ruined ruined ruined the the
279
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,500
best line he said.
And then Hannibal Lecter says,
280
00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:55,600
I'm having an old friend over
for dinner.
281
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,000
No, that's not the law.
Actually takes everything out of
282
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,200
the line that pisses me off,
actually, yeah.
283
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,400
But, um, yeah, I mean,
everything about that line.
284
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,700
It's the way Hopkins delivers
it, right?
285
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,800
Like he just has this perfect
Immaculate.
286
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,100
Annunciation that leaves.
Absolutely.
287
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,800
No room for thinking anything
other than what he's about to
288
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,000
do?
Yeah.
289
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,800
Well Brad, I think that's a
really good transition into
290
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,600
talking about the performances
in the movie and I think we
291
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,200
should really focus on the
three.
292
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:31,000
Three kind of main characters
here in Lecter, Starling and
293
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Buffalo Bill.
And since you've already brought
294
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,500
up Anthony Hopkins let's talk
about Hannibal Lecter he is one
295
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:40,400
of the most iconic villains in
cinema history.
296
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,000
Anthony Hopkins wins the act of
best actor Oscar despite only
297
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,700
being in the movie for I think
20 minutes like and and the
298
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:52,000
funny thing is he totally
deserved it like even if he was
299
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,500
only on screen for 20 minutes.
I mean, this is going to sound
300
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:58,500
stupid to rhyme but like I was
Through the whole movie, The
301
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,400
Specter of him is hanging over
the whole movie and I wish I
302
00:16:02,408 --> 00:16:05,100
could think of a better word
than the Specter of Lecter, but
303
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,400
like it really does.
Like there's just this sense
304
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,200
that at all times he is
operating in the background.
305
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:15,700
There's this this sense of dread
that comes over you knowing that
306
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:20,300
he's out there after he escapes.
It is a commanding performance
307
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:23,000
from Anthony Hopkins.
But I will say the thing that
308
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,700
really struck me this time
through Brad is that I think
309
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:30,900
that what makes it rewatchable
isn't just the scary parts isn't
310
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:35,300
just, when he's kind of toying
with Clarice, it's how Sassy he
311
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,700
is at times and how kind of
snarky he is.
312
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,500
You can really tell that Hopkins
is having fun with this role.
313
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:44,900
And that, even though he's a
terrifying villain, he really
314
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:47,600
does kind of have an ease about
him as well.
315
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,000
Oh yeah.
There's a few moments especially
316
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,800
early with him where I actually
like almost laughed out loud
317
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,300
with some of his dialogue.
Like he's so The end sharp in
318
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:03,200
his in the way he delivers his
lines and also I think that the
319
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,300
script in this movie is over all
like it's pretty good.
320
00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:08,400
It's not the best script I've
ever seen for a film.
321
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:15,800
However the writing for Hannibal
is just so good, it's just over
322
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,099
the top and its ability to
capture this, this insanely
323
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:25,900
precise mind that thinks through
everything to the nth degree and
324
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:27,300
Brad.
One of the things that I I
325
00:17:27,308 --> 00:17:30,200
really really loved is the way
that they introduced him.
326
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,000
You know you're coming down that
hallway.
327
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,400
Full of just deranged
Psychopaths who are
328
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,100
progressively more and more
violent in their behavior
329
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,000
towards Clarice.
And you know that this guy is at
330
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800
the end of the hall and you're
looking at this hallway like,
331
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,100
from her point of view and all
of a sudden it comes kind of
332
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:48,400
around the corner and you just
see, Anthony Hopkins standing
333
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,500
there, calmly passively and like
he doesn't look imposing at all.
334
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,800
And when he says hello it's like
a very cordial.
335
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,700
Like hello.
And you're like Who is this?
336
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:01,000
This is the serial killer and
then they use the rest of that
337
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,400
scene to just slowly crank up
the tension and it gets to the
338
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,100
point where like he's really mad
that she has been sent to screw
339
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:13,600
with him and he decides to toy
with her instead and it really
340
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,800
becomes like this kind of
psychological torture throughout
341
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000
that scene.
And then let you know later on
342
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,600
when you find out that he's been
like whispering to the guy in
343
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,000
the cell next to him to the
point where he swallows his own
344
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,700
tongue is super believable
because you've Seen already, how
345
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,300
much damage and how much torture
he can do to Clarice.
346
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Just in that one little sequence
that they have, yeah, and I love
347
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,100
villains like that.
That, you know, he's as you
348
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:43,600
said, as she's walking down the
hall, they're basically like Mad
349
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,900
Dogs and then you come to
Hannibal and he's, you know,
350
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,500
just very calm and collected.
I love villains like that
351
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:52,600
because obviously, he's the most
deadly of all of them and that
352
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,800
entire hallway, but he's the
most composed and those type of
353
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,800
villain In cinema I think are
the more compelling of course.
354
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:06,900
Yeah he feels like this Moriarty
type of villain that's just so
355
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:09,400
far beyond everyone else that
you're like how did he even get
356
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,700
captured in the first place?
I read a fun fact that Anthony
357
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:16,300
Hopkins convinced the director
that has jumped through jumpsuit
358
00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:19,600
should be white instead of
orange because it would be more
359
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,500
unsettling like to see the stark
white and that dark cell like
360
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:25,600
that instead of the orange and I
don't know why.
361
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,100
But I, when I thought about that
I was Like, actually, I think
362
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:30,800
that it was a good choice
because it does.
363
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,700
It feels weird like a little
off-kilter, like why absolutely
364
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:36,800
put him in white.
It also makes them feel a little
365
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,200
less pedestrian.
Like, if it was just orange, you
366
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,900
would just feel like a normal,
right?
367
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:43,200
Your everyday, their criminal.
Yeah, exactly.
368
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,100
White White's, almost more like
it like elevates him, you know,
369
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:49,200
as like a drape jacket or yes.
I'll mmm.
370
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,700
Yes, very much.
Yeah.
371
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,300
So Chad, I want to ask your
opinion on something as a
372
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:57,900
videographer especially there's
a thing that the Of this movie.
373
00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:01,000
Jonathan Demi is known for, and
they call it the Demi close-up.
374
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,300
And if you notice every time
there's a close up in this
375
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:08,400
movie, or almost every time, the
characters that are being shot
376
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,700
are looking straight down the
barrel of the camera.
377
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,400
They're essentially breaking the
fourth wall and it's not
378
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,700
something that you see in a lot
of movies, like, you try to keep
379
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:19,000
eyelines consistent, and you try
not to break the 180 degree
380
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,200
rule, they call it.
But in this movie, you are put
381
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,600
directly in the position of
whoever is, you know, listening
382
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,600
to the person in the close-up
and when it's on Hannibal Lecter
383
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,100
and he is staring right down
into your soul it is incredibly
384
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,700
unsettling.
So I mean I guess I just wanted
385
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,500
to pick your brain.
Did you notice the camera work
386
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:42,500
in that aspect and what other
kind of visual things stood out
387
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:45,100
to you in the movie?
Yeah I think Sara and I both
388
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:49,200
kind of picked up on that pretty
quickly and it's really I think
389
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,300
to kind of comment on how
Clarice is being observed.
390
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,300
Yep.
I by men in the The because she
391
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:01,800
is always looking off to the
side and people are always
392
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,500
looking directly into the camera
when they're speaking to her.
393
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:09,500
And it's really the only time
that Jodie Foster looks directly
394
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:13,600
to the camera as when she's
talking to her female friend.
395
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:15,200
I think they're like doing
laundry.
396
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,400
I think they're sitting on like
a washer and dryer or something
397
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,300
and they're going over the case
files.
398
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:22,500
And she looks directly into the
camera, which is her friend and
399
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:26,400
her friend looks directly into
the camera which is to Clarice.
400
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,800
But every other time, if it's
looking directly to the camera,
401
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,800
it's a man talking to her and
she's always the one with the
402
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,600
eye line off.
And I thought that's obviously
403
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,100
very deliberate and I think it's
something that the audience can
404
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:44,500
pretty easily pick up on.
Well, and one of my favorite
405
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:47,600
interactions.
I'm so glad you brought up how
406
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,100
men observe her throughout the
movie, because one of the key
407
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:55,800
things that you know, Hannibal
talks about is this idea of
408
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,300
sight, like what do we see, we
see what we want and it brings
409
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:03,700
in this idea of covetousness was
the first in principle thing.
410
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:06,600
He does.
What needs does he serve by
411
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:12,900
killing anger?
Um, social acceptance?
412
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,900
Sexual frustrations know it
cuts.
413
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:23,000
That is his nature.
And how do we begin to covered
414
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,900
Clarice?
Do we seek out things to
415
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:29,200
covered?
Make an effort to answer now.
416
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Now, we just now we begin by
coveting.
417
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,400
What we see every day.
And it feels like all of these
418
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,900
men in the movie have so many
different various feelings.
419
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:46,200
When they see Jodie Foster
walking into the room.
420
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:51,000
And yet, the only person in the
entire movie, gee that really
421
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,200
truly respects Jodie Foster for
who she is and treats her.
422
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,500
Like, she's really brilliant is
Hannibal.
423
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:00,900
Yeah, like she kind of gets that
from her boss.
424
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,500
The, I can't remember his name
right now, who's the guy that
425
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:07,500
like calls her in Jack cross?
Yeah, Scott Glenn is the actor.
426
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,300
Yeah.
Sky.
427
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,400
Yeah.
Just got Glen.
428
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:13,700
So Crawford calls her in.
He kind of treats her with with
429
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,800
respect and he learns to do
that.
430
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,900
You know, she basically tells
him like, Hey, like, if you
431
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:22,300
treat me like crap.
Nobody else's today, but but
432
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,600
it's just fascinating to me that
the only person who looks her
433
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,100
dead in the eye and not just for
her.
434
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,300
Physical beauty is Hannibal
Lecter, and he's the one who who
435
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:37,900
treats her well and I that I
think things like that are what
436
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:41,200
make a script even better?
Yeah, I think that's what's the
437
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,200
most disturbing for me.
I mean, when you think about it,
438
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,200
because they present him in that
way, is like the only person who
439
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,200
really tries to get to know her
the only person.
440
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:51,000
Who's like really super direct
with her.
441
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,400
As like he, he's the most
terrifying man in the movie and
442
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,000
yet, we feel like he's giving
her, I don't know, the most
443
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,900
respect the most, like
acknowledgement and then there's
444
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:07,700
all these other people in her
life who are who, you know,
445
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:11,700
should be co-workers or bosses
or whatever and be respectful.
446
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:16,000
And then we see, like Chad was
saying, like, just, there's like
447
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,700
the elevator scene where
everyone's bigger than Her and
448
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:21,800
she's made to feel small and
then there's the scene at the
449
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,800
morgue.
We're like everyone turns and
450
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,500
looks at her at once.
There's just all these scenes
451
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:30,500
were, she's definitely not in
the same position as she is when
452
00:24:30,500 --> 00:24:33,800
she's talking to Hannibal.
But that's weird because he is a
453
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,800
terrifying serial killer.
Yeah, very polite.
454
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:39,500
And I'm so glad that everyone
like is picking up on this too
455
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,700
because I definitely noticed it
this time.
456
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:47,500
Jonathan Demi is perfectly
willing to kind of get out of
457
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,100
the rhythm of the editing.
And in order to Showcase that to
458
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,100
like and it made me think about,
there's, you know, there's this
459
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:56,400
concept in, like, film studies.
That's called the male gaze.
460
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,800
And essentially, it's when a
director, who is usually a male
461
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:07,000
is using the camera in a way
that a man would look at a
462
00:25:07,008 --> 00:25:08,900
woman.
Lustfully, so like, if you think
463
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:13,100
about the way that Michael Bay
would film Megan, Fox in the
464
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:16,400
Transformers movies where it's
just super objectifying the
465
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,900
camera.
Lingers in places that it
466
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:21,900
shouldn't linger.
And this movie, it is all about
467
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:24,300
the male gaze, but it's totally
condemning it.
468
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,800
And so, like, you have these
scenes where it's like, two
469
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,300
characters are talking and then
like one character will walk off
470
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:33,000
screen and the camera will just
Linger on the second person for
471
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,500
a while.
And you're kind of wondering,
472
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,800
like, why didn't they cut away
their but as the movie kind of
473
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,400
builds and they do it more and
more, you start to realize that
474
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,600
Demi is doing this thing where
he is like implicating all of
475
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,700
the men in the movie in being
just huge, creeps and huge pervs
476
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,100
like there.
There's even A little scene
477
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,500
where it's Kasi Lemmons and
Jodie, Foster are just out for a
478
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:58,100
jog and all of the the male FBI
trainees who jog past them?
479
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,100
Alternately turn around.
Yeah, all of them do.
480
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,000
It's like that Meme.
Yeah, absolutely.
481
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:07,600
And I just, I really love that,
you know, even the people who
482
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,000
you think are trustworthy people
like at the very end of the
483
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,100
movie, there's another guy that
graduates, the academy with
484
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:15,500
them, and he like, he grabs, one
of them and says, hey, let's
485
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:18,200
take a picture together, and you
can tell how uncomfortable she
486
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,800
is and I just, I really love
that.
487
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,400
They subtly worked this critique
into the movie that even while
488
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,400
we're looking at the things that
Buffalo Bill is doing to these
489
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,000
people.
He is not, you know so far down
490
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,400
the road that we can't identify
what's driving him.
491
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:40,600
Like it's very perverse but that
perversity is is present in a
492
00:26:40,608 --> 00:26:44,300
lot of people in this movie.
Yeah, I think you totally hit
493
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:46,300
the nail on the head.
There like we're seeing Buffalo
494
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:48,800
Bill as being like the extreme
version of this but then the
495
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,600
rest of The movie is filled with
everyday instances of things
496
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,700
that are in the same vein but
not as Extreme as what he's
497
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:58,000
doing, right?
Yeah, and can we talk about the
498
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,800
Bug Guy?
Remember when she goes to get
499
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,800
the moth as a mom?
Yeah she goes to get the mop
500
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,400
identified at like a library or
it's some sort of a.
501
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,700
So one of the actors, they're
one of the two bug guys book
502
00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:16,100
scientist was caused by one bug
idea bug guy to he was
503
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,900
cross-eyed in one eye and he was
looking at I think that had to
504
00:27:19,908 --> 00:27:23,200
be on purpose, right?
There's no they wouldn't have
505
00:27:23,208 --> 00:27:27,700
just casted that actor just
because right so his right eye
506
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:31,600
was looking in and his left eye
was looking at Clarisse.
507
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,500
Yeah, and I don't know what that
could be like a commentary on
508
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:36,800
though, but I agree with you.
It had to be intentional because
509
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,200
he asked her out.
He asks her out and he comes
510
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,800
across very nice.
So I think it's fair to do a
511
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,700
job.
Yeah.
512
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:47,000
So it's like is he being nice?
Is he being a creep?
513
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Were not really sure because he
sort of, in the middle.
514
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,300
All right, your he's sort of in
the middle like his eyes.
515
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,400
Well, yeah, exactly.
Oh my gosh, I am like I'm
516
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,000
nerding out over here right now.
I'm so happy that we're breaking
517
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
down this movie at such a deep
level.
518
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,400
But before we go to break, Brad,
I do want to hit on these other
519
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,300
two performances.
Especially let's talk about
520
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:08,600
Jodie Foster because we've been
talking about the way everyone
521
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,200
in the movie, looks at her, you
know, Brad and I were texting
522
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,400
before we recorded this episode,
I kind of asked him what his
523
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,300
General thoughts on the movie
were, and of course, on your
524
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:20,700
first viewing, Anthony Hopkins.
As Hannibal Lecter is really
525
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,700
going to stand out but for me,
you know, having seen this movie
526
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,900
a few times.
Now, I think the best
527
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:29,800
performance to re-watch is
Jodie, Foster because she is
528
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,900
doing just so much subtle stuff
in her performance, where it's
529
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,500
almost like, you know, because
her character goes from being a
530
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:42,200
little more timid to a little
more assertive, you see that
531
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,600
slow transformation throughout
the movie, but also just as an
532
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,200
actress, I think she knows that
some of these other
533
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,900
performances.
Are much bigger and much more
534
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:53,000
showy.
Like Hannibal Lecter is a big
535
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,900
showy performance, Buffalo
Bills, a big showy performance.
536
00:28:56,500 --> 00:28:59,500
And she's really just content in
a lot of scenes to kind of
537
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,800
support that other person and I
really her performance really
538
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,900
blew me away this time.
I mean, it was she absolutely
539
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:10,600
deserved the Oscar that she won
but I think in a lot of ways she
540
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,000
even tops.
What Anthony Hopkins is doing
541
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,800
here.
Well what I think what was
542
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:21,200
really truly amazing about her.
Her It's is the fact that she
543
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,200
plays this dichotomy.
So well-liked, in the face of
544
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:29,600
99% of the characters of the
movie, she comes across as a
545
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,400
slightly demure, but confident
young woman who recognizes that
546
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,400
she is a student who recognizes
that.
547
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,100
She's, you know, not like a top,
detective at the FBI.
548
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:44,300
She's just kind of there to do
her job and she's kind of cool.
549
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:49,400
Calm confident and relaxed.
But when it comes to Hannibal
550
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,000
the only person who truly
respects her in this movie, he
551
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
is the only one where you see
the other side of her
552
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,100
performance.
And I think that is what gives
553
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:01,200
her performance strength is
those moments where she breaks
554
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,600
down just in the slightest.
Because Hannibal is actually
555
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,300
paying attention to her is
actually like looking into her
556
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:13,000
soul and trying to dig at things
that have been bothering her her
557
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,600
entire life.
And so, I think it's that
558
00:30:15,608 --> 00:30:19,100
dichotomy of a performance where
She presents this front to the
559
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:23,600
entire world, except for the
serial killer that like, that is
560
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,600
what makes her performance?
So powerful.
561
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:29,600
Yeah.
And I thinking about that, I was
562
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,000
wondering, like this kind of
goes against what we were just
563
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
talking about, but the front
that she puts out, right?
564
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,100
Is a form of control, right?
She's in all these situations
565
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:43,000
with coworkers and things and so
she's putting that forward as
566
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,700
like that is her way of
controlling the situation but I
567
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:50,000
think when she's with Hannah, He
gets below the surface and into
568
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,100
her past at things that I think
throw her off kilter and she
569
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:54,900
loses control.
And I think that's what brings
570
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:56,700
out those elements of her
character.
571
00:30:56,700 --> 00:31:00,400
That are so interesting of like,
who is she, when, when she's not
572
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:03,500
putting that mask on?
Yeah, for sure.
573
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,600
And then, so I think we go from
the most complex character in
574
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,300
the movie.
In Clarisse to the least complex
575
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:13,800
character in a lot of ways in
Buffalo Bill, and I feel like
576
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,600
they try to do a lot to set him
up, like, they talked about his
577
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,400
motivation.
Ins.
578
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,100
They talk about, you know,
there's a lot of conversation
579
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:22,300
about like, is he transsexual?
No, he's not.
580
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,600
He just wants to, you know,
metamorphose into something
581
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,200
else.
And and I was really looking
582
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,200
forward to them getting a little
bit more in-depth with his
583
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,500
character, but they never really
do.
584
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,400
And I think, if I do have one
complaint with the movie, it's
585
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,600
that they spend so much time
developing the Hannibal, Lecter
586
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600
and Clarice relationship that
Buffalo Bills.
587
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,900
Really, not in the movie that
much like he comes in.
588
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:49,300
I think like 30.
I 40 minutes into the movie and
589
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:52,700
he really only has like, three
long scenes and that's it.
590
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,100
And so, like by the 2/3 point
where Hannibal Lecter escapes
591
00:31:57,100 --> 00:32:00,900
from his cell and they really
shift hard into the Buffalo Bill
592
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:02,400
stuff.
I didn't find that.
593
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,600
Like as I don't know as
compelling as I wished it was
594
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,900
because it really did seem like
a hard left.
595
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:10,000
Turn into okay.
Now we're going to follow this
596
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,700
guy who we haven't really set up
very well.
597
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:15,400
And we haven't really given you
a lot to work with.
598
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,900
I don't know.
Did you guys have the same vibe?
599
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:20,900
You know, it's a balancing act
with those three characters and
600
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:22,400
of course this is based off a
book.
601
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,800
So the book Dives more into his
past but it's kind of like do
602
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,800
you try to flush out three
characters to the detriment of
603
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:33,500
them?
Not getting flushed out as much
604
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:37,700
or do you really flush out
Clarice and Hannibal and kind of
605
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:42,300
put bill on the back burner just
so you don't have an overstuffed
606
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:44,800
movie.
I bet there was you know,
607
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800
discussion discussion about
that.
608
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,100
But You know, through through
the Buffalo Bill stuff, we're
609
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:54,400
still with Clarice, at least
they're in the end and I think
610
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,300
it's more about the stories more
about her triumphed over that,
611
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:03,500
you know, being out in the field
with such a danger for the first
612
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:07,200
time then it is about Buffalo
Bill himself.
613
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Yeah, yeah.
I think one of the, the problems
614
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,300
with Buffalo Bill is a character
is the one specific moment where
615
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:19,500
it gives a close-up on his?
Oops, and he just says, multiple
616
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:22,300
times in a row.
Like would you f me?
617
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600
Like and he just kind of repeats
that over and over goes.
618
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:31,600
Yeah, yeah I would and I for me,
that was just this reduction of
619
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,200
him as like, oh, he's just a
sexual deviant.
620
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,000
Like you've been, you've been
given This brilliant mind of
621
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,700
Hannibal Lecter who just is
immaculate in the way he thinks
622
00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:49,800
about things and it just feels
like A bill is a crude cheap
623
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,100
imitation of Hannibal Lecter and
I don't know, maybe they were
624
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:57,600
trying to go for that but for me
then it kind of lessened, the
625
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,000
impact of of what you were going
for with Buffalo Bill as a
626
00:34:01,008 --> 00:34:02,000
serial killer.
Yeah.
627
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,400
Brad, I think that's that's a
good point.
628
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,100
And that's kind of giving voice
to what I was thinking too, and
629
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,800
I think that that Ted Levine who
plays Buffalo Bill is fantastic.
630
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,100
I think he really plays that
role.
631
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:14,000
Well, he brings a little bit of
nuance to that character.
632
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,300
That isn't really there on the
page, but you're right.
633
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,900
I think like especially setting
it up where you see Hannibal
634
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:25,199
escape and you know that this
criminal mastermind is out there
635
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,400
in the world somewhere that just
kind of cutting back to Buffalo
636
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,500
Bill and finding out like you
said that they're kind of just
637
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:36,300
reducing him to being a sexual
deviant like he never really had
638
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:41,300
the the threat of Hannibal.
Like I always felt more
639
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:45,199
threatened by Hannibal than I
did by Buffalo Bill and I do
640
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,300
think that like, if there is
something to nitpick with this,
641
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:49,000
It would be the way they handle
that.
642
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,699
Yeah I mean Hannibal as a threat
like I think the way you can sum
643
00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:57,500
him up as a threat is that at
the end of the movie you know,
644
00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:00,200
right before he delivers the you
know, one of the best ending
645
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,700
lines of all time.
He says, what I think to be, why
646
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:09,100
he is a threat and he says to
Clarisse oh don't worry, you
647
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:13,000
know, I am not going to call,
you know call a visit or pay a
648
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,600
visit to you.
The world is much more
649
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:21,100
interesting with you in it.
And the threat there is, if I
650
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:24,700
didn't think you were
interesting I could kill you
651
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
know, like no questions asked.
There's no way anybody could
652
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,100
stop me, but I think the world's
more interesting with you in it.
653
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:34,600
So I'll leave you be for now,
it's like this ultimate power
654
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,800
play.
That is just so calmly and
655
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,100
coolly delivered that yeah,
Buffalo.
656
00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:44,100
Bill just isn't really even a
threat compared to Hannibal
657
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:46,700
Lecter.
He's definitely more
658
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:49,900
two-dimensional and I think that
they try to get there.
659
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,400
Obviously, again, like Chad
said, it comes from the books,
660
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,800
but like, they bring up things
that allude to like, why is he,
661
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,300
the way he is, what kind of, you
know, he's going through some
662
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:03,900
sort of transformation.
Obviously, he's in some sort of
663
00:36:03,908 --> 00:36:06,800
stage of psychosis and like they
connect the transformative stuff
664
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,500
back to the moth and like the
Cocoon to the full-blown moth
665
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,600
and all that stuff.
But I agree, I think as somebody
666
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,800
who really likes to learn About
serial killers and why they do
667
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,500
what they do.
I do feel like they really
668
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:23,500
didn't deliver on connecting the
dots all the way around on on
669
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:28,500
him and like why is he so scary?
Because he is the headline
670
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,900
murderer of the movie.
Even though Hannibal's this
671
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:33,100
technically comes across the
scariest.
672
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:35,700
He's for the most part of the
movie.
673
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:40,200
He's in a prison cell locked up
in in someone else's control.
674
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,500
So we have this guy out there
running all the loose and yet
675
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,800
somehow he comes across as less
scary.
676
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:46,900
Yep.
I think it kind of makes sense
677
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,300
when you think about it, because
it's a more nuanced script that
678
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:55,200
way.
Like if Hannibal Lecter is the
679
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,500
boss battle, okay?
And Buffalo Bill, my language.
680
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:04,700
Yeah, Buffalo build is, you
know, just an end level Baddie,
681
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:09,600
Buffalo Bill can be defeated,
but Hannibal cannot.
682
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,600
So you know, it's kind of
scarier that way.
683
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,100
Like yeah, there's these
Psychopaths.
684
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:19,300
Out there who are just sexual
deviants, like you said, reduced
685
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:25,600
to something as simple as that.
And then there's the real,
686
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:31,100
intellects that are much scarier
because they are both a genius
687
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,200
and a killer that will not be
caught.
688
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,900
The cannot be caught.
Whether it's, you know, from
689
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:43,000
Clarice or anyone else of her
colleagues, I think that kind of
690
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,300
it makes it Less of,
everything's tied up in a nice
691
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:48,000
neat.
Bow.
692
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,700
At the end of the movie.
Yeah, you got the bad guy but
693
00:37:51,700 --> 00:37:53,700
you didn't get the big bad.
Yeah.
694
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,900
Yeah.
Wow guys.
695
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:58,800
I am so enjoying talking about
this movie.
696
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,300
We are like really deep into
talking about this movie at this
697
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:05,300
point.
I don't want to press pause, but
698
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:06,900
we do need to get to our whiskey
for the day.
699
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:09,300
So what do you all say?
We tried this old tub.
700
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,300
Let's do it.
Do I have to drink out of a tub?
701
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:48,700
Not not today.
All right, so today we are
702
00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:51,900
checking out old tub.
Now, this is a bottled in bond
703
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:55,000
bourbon that comes from the Jim
Beam company Brad.
704
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,500
This has a really interesting
backstory, I will spare everyone
705
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,900
the Gory details of the rich
history of this hundred proof
706
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:06,600
bourbon, but for a long time,
they were only selling this as
707
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,200
kind of like a touristy visitor,
special thing, you can only get
708
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,500
it at one of their distilleries.
It was the one in Clermont
709
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:14,500
Kentucky.
And so if you wanted, you could
710
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,400
buy a pint of old tub for like
20 bucks.
711
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,100
X.
And when you and I went to
712
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,700
Kentucky, a couple years ago, I
really wanted to get up there
713
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:23,500
and try this old tub.
I'd heard really good things
714
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:25,200
about it, for being kind of a
budget.
715
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,700
Bargain whiskey, we didn't get a
chance to and then all the
716
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:32,600
sudden, they decided we're going
to take this brand National and
717
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,200
so they have, you know gone are
they have upgraded from having
718
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,000
just pints of it to offering
them in a fifth.
719
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,700
It is still an incredibly
affordable bourbon.
720
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,100
We'll get into what we think of
the price on this.
721
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:49,100
And if it's worth buying Brad,
You heard of old tub before we
722
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:52,600
worked it into the show here?
No, nice.
723
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,400
There it is.
No.
724
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,300
But Bob, I had not heard of old
tub before.
725
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:01,100
And honestly, there was part of
me that was like, man, you just,
726
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:04,800
you hear certain names of
Whiskey's and you're like, oh,
727
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,500
that's going to be a cheap
whiskey, isn't it?
728
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,700
When you hear the name old tub?
You don't necessarily think like
729
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,300
yes, this is a Glenmore geoduck,
right?
730
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,100
Great.
But, but at the same time, Brad
731
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:21,600
you And I are huge fans of
getting a whiskey for a steal
732
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,000
and I think this really could
qualify depending on what we
733
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,700
think of it.
Now again, coming from Jim Beam.
734
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:30,600
It is said to have that
signature Jim Beam kind of
735
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,500
nuttiness that you get on the
nose and on the taste you know
736
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,800
we have that Brad when we looked
at not Creek.
737
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,000
When we looked at you know
Booker's they all really have
738
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
that sort of signature Jim Beam
flavor profile.
739
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,900
So as all of us get into the
nose here.
740
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,100
What are some of the notes that
you're picking Brad is that
741
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:51,500
nuttiness coming out for you
know, really?
742
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,300
Really.
Yeah, it's like jumping out of
743
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,300
it is for me.
No judgment but you're wrong.
744
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:59,300
Yeah 100% right, I'm sorry.
Tell him, just kidding.
745
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:01,600
Tell him what we have for him.
It's a lovely Parting Gift,
746
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,700
right.
Ya know for me I come to the
747
00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:08,600
nose and it's a little bit
potent.
748
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:10,800
I feel like it hits me a little
strong.
749
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,500
I try to blow out some of that
alcohol and it's just lingering
750
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,400
for me.
I get I get some nice vanilla.
751
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:22,200
Nila some Oak little bit of corn
but I'm not hitting a ton of
752
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,000
nuttiness.
It's not coming out for me for
753
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,600
me, the nose here.
It's not enough of something to
754
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,800
make me like it so I'm going to
give it a 5 out of 10 on the
755
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,400
new.
Wow.
756
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,300
Yeah.
Brett, I'm having a completely
757
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:39,500
different experience and I know
for a fact we're drinking the
758
00:41:39,508 --> 00:41:41,900
same whiskey because I gave you
a sample out of my bottle of
759
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:44,500
this.
And for me this is all just
760
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:48,800
peanuts and like, really waxy
kind of nuts like Like cashews.
761
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:51,500
There is like you said, there's
some Oak here.
762
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:54,100
I don't get a lot of Oak Char,
it's kind of like a younger
763
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,200
would smell to me and you're
right.
764
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,800
Like, it's a little bit
aggressive on the nose, there's
765
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,200
definitely some alcohol present.
But at 100 proof, I would expect
766
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,700
that I really dig this, this
nosing profile here.
767
00:42:05,700 --> 00:42:07,800
I'm actually going to give this
an 8 out of 10 now.
768
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,200
Are you guys drinking out of the
same type of glass?
769
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:13,100
I'm, yeah, I'm drinking out of a
glen care and I believe Brad is
770
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:14,800
too.
Yep.
771
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:19,200
So mine's been sitting out for a
bit, so I might be having a
772
00:42:19,207 --> 00:42:22,700
different experience than you,
but I kind of having more of
773
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:25,700
Bob's experience.
I'm getting like nuttiness on
774
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:29,400
the nose but for me it's more
pecans and I'm getting like,
775
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,900
salted, caramel and pecans,
which I find that sounds
776
00:42:32,900 --> 00:42:37,200
delicious to me right now.
Yeah, I get what you're saying,
777
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,700
there's more, you know, but of
alcohol coming through.
778
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:42,900
But I think for the price and
the proof that is also to be
779
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:46,300
expected.
But for me, it screams Jim Beam,
780
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,200
sure and I was, I was kind of
getting, you know, sort of some
781
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,300
powerful ethanol on it when I
was first really nosing it.
782
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:59,800
So what I did is I just blew
into my glass, it's kind of did
783
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,100
that sound effects and then I
went back and it's it's not it's
784
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:05,600
not as hard as she more if you
do that.
785
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,500
And actually after I did that, I
kind of got some popcorn.
786
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:10,700
So I think it is that going to
you're talking about but
787
00:43:10,700 --> 00:43:14,400
specifically like buttered
popcorn along with The nuttiness
788
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,400
that's obviously there.
I kind of feel like those are
789
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,300
almost Givens on on a Jim Beam.
But yeah, caramel corn.
790
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:24,000
What do you think out of 10?
I gave it.
791
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,500
I mean, it's yeah, I gave it a
7.
792
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:31,400
I can be seven, it is good but
you know I've we've also smelled
793
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,000
some exceptional stuff, right?
Yeah, you know if I'm thinking
794
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,300
of all of all time it is it's
smells nice that yeah yeah.
795
00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:41,500
I think that caramel is coming
across from me a little bit more
796
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:43,700
as like a Coca-Cola kind of nose
and eye.
797
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:47,600
I like that: note as well.
So you both went seven on this.
798
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:52,000
Brad went five, I went eight.
Alright, so we have our first
799
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,600
score here and that means that
it's time for us to taste it.
800
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,700
So let's all give it a sip and
Brad, I'm sure that you've
801
00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,400
already been sipping on it and
ready to just eviscerate it
802
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,500
based on your nose score.
So what do you picking up here
803
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:04,900
on the taste?
Honestly, it's not as bad on the
804
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:07,100
palate as it is on the nose for
me.
805
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,100
There's a decent bit of vanilla
coming through for me.
806
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:12,400
That, that hit me on the aroma
here.
807
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,700
I get a little bit more of that.
Caramel a little more buttery,
808
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:21,100
smooth of a flavor profile.
Then I had on the nose, it's
809
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:25,200
still not popping for me or like
overwhelming me, but I'm going
810
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,200
to bump my score up a little
bit.
811
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,400
I'll give it a six and a half.
I'm getting a little bit of that
812
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,200
nuttiness that I was getting on
the nose.
813
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,100
I still think for me, it's in
like a lighter nuttiness like a
814
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:37,400
pecan, maybe like a walnut or
something like that.
815
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:42,800
But now that coming off of our
you know knows notes, I actually
816
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,900
get the cola That you mentioned
and it's almost like a and I
817
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:48,300
don't really drink soda that
much.
818
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:50,800
So for me, it's reminding me of
something, like, a chocolaty
819
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,000
vanilla Cola, or like at the
bottom of a root beer float, or
820
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,900
something like that, with some
of those Okie notes to.
821
00:44:57,900 --> 00:45:02,200
Yeah, I I'm glad you said root
beer Sarah because with this
822
00:45:02,207 --> 00:45:05,400
whole, when the whole Cola
discussion got brought up Bob, I
823
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,800
was kind of like, yeah, okay, I
can.
824
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,400
And then it kind of went in that
area almost like a root beer
825
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,600
float because there is that
vanilla in there.
826
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:17,900
So I'm kind of Like when a root
beer float, kind of Frost's, and
827
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:21,700
you just sort of before you get
to the real Cola part, you kind
828
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:24,800
of drink that froth, that's sort
of what I'm getting for the
829
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,600
nuttiness it's sort of like for
me it's a cross between like a
830
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,600
salted peanut and dry pecan.
Hmm, But I am getting the right
831
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,400
Spice in there.
The butter popcorn caramel and a
832
00:45:34,408 --> 00:45:36,300
little bit of brittle sort of in
them.
833
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:38,300
Chad, wow.
Yeah, which is, you know, pretty
834
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,500
pretty just the movies.
Yeah, let's all go.
835
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,800
Hobbies, it's all good.
I don't know about the rest of
836
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,200
you but I'm picking up almost
all the notes that you're
837
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,400
talking about here, but I also
wouldn't really classify this as
838
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,300
an overly sweet bourbon.
Like a all, the notes were
839
00:45:56,300 --> 00:46:00,000
talking about our sweet things
but disliked the lingering notes
840
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,400
for me on this, I think this is
really alcohol forward and mean,
841
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,800
it isn't a hundred proof and
Brad and I have talked before
842
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,500
about how sometimes things in
this kind of hundred. 210 prove
843
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:15,000
range, the alcohol can seem more
harsh than than a barrel proof
844
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,800
for some reason.
And I really do think the
845
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,300
alcohol is front and center
here.
846
00:46:18,300 --> 00:46:20,300
And the oak is really front and
center here.
847
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,900
I get a lot of that kind of like
Sarah.
848
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:24,700
You talked about chocolate a
little bit too.
849
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,500
I do get some kind of dark
chocolate notes on this as well.
850
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,900
And you know it does have your
classic bourbon profile.
851
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,200
But again like I don't think
that it tips into like,
852
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,400
lingering sweetness on the
palate.
853
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,000
I'm only going to give this one
like a six and a half on the
854
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,400
palate.
Same shock.
855
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,500
Oh man, are we all in a
six-and-a-half?
856
00:46:44,500 --> 00:46:47,500
No, I'm at a seven and a half
how big?
857
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:51,600
I think I know.
And I might be kind of unfairly
858
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,300
rating.
It knowing what the prices and
859
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:55,600
yeah, that.
Yeah.
860
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,000
But I gave it a 7 half.
I think for a and I'm kind of
861
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,500
comparing it to other bottled
and bonds and its price range,
862
00:47:02,500 --> 00:47:04,000
which I probably am.
Italy.
863
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,700
Shouldn't be doing.
But I'm kind of thinking of the
864
00:47:06,707 --> 00:47:09,900
Evan Williams bald and bond.
I'm thinking of jts brown, I'm
865
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:16,600
thinking Of JW dant and but
except maybe everybody's bought
866
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,800
in a bond.
I think it's kind of going above
867
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,300
those other guys.
So I don't know, I think for,
868
00:47:22,500 --> 00:47:26,600
for an ancho filtered bi bi it's
got a taste of a 7.5 for me and
869
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,500
that rhymed uh well so here's
the thing, chat on the nose, we
870
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,000
judged it.
Based on what's the 10/10?
871
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,100
The best thing we've ever known.
I know that's why I bet on the
872
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:40,000
taste your leg well compared to
other bottom and I don't
873
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,900
disagree.
With you if we this was just
874
00:47:41,900 --> 00:47:43,700
mine site compared to other
bottle to Mom's, I would have
875
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:47,500
also given this higher score but
I thought we were doing just in
876
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:49,200
general.
Well we are tell you what I'm
877
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,200
going to take it down to seven
even good.
878
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,000
Seven look what I've done was it
we are wildly inconsistent in
879
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000
how we scored things because oh
yeah.
880
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,100
Because like we always say that
we're trying to be objective and
881
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:03,300
like you said Sarah like based
on the best we've ever had but
882
00:48:03,300 --> 00:48:06,400
it is impossible to not keep the
price tag in mind when you're
883
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,200
drinking something that's on the
cheaper end of the spectrum and
884
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,500
so weird because A 25-dollar
whisky isn't supposed to taste
885
00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:15,000
like a 200 dollar whiskey.
Like, they're not supposed to be
886
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,800
comparable.
Yeah.
887
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,500
So as I think it's fair.
Exactly.
888
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:22,500
And that takes us from our taste
scores into our finished scores,
889
00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:24,200
I guess, I'll just go first real
quick.
890
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,100
I don't think this has like, an
overwhelmingly great finish.
891
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,000
Its pleasant, it doesn't burn
too badly, the Kentucky hug on.
892
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,800
This is not like, it doesn't
Scorch your esophagus on the way
893
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,700
down, but it definitely is
warming.
894
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:39,900
It's not it's not a dry finish
it.
895
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,000
Mouth-watering.
But still again like the
896
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,400
predominant flavor that's left
on my palate, is the oak.
897
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,400
So if you're into something like
that, it's not super short.
898
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,100
It's a little bit lingering, you
know, again given the price.
899
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,700
I'm going to give it again a six
and a half out of ten on the
900
00:48:55,700 --> 00:48:58,200
finish.
I'm 100% on the same page as you
901
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,700
but I think I'm going to go a 6
out of 10.
902
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,000
Yeah, sir I'm actually right
there with you.
903
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,800
I think that this has like you
said, Bob, it's got that
904
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,200
oakiness I get a little bit of
spice as it starts.
905
00:49:10,300 --> 00:49:15,200
It's moving down the throat and
I will, I will admit.
906
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:20,000
I will fully admit the last like
breath that I had of this
907
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,400
bourbon.
I was kind of like, oh I was a
908
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:30,000
little bit like peanut butter is
there, but that was the only
909
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,700
hint of nuttiness I had
throughout the entire
910
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:33,400
experience.
I'll give it a six out of ten on
911
00:49:33,408 --> 00:49:36,200
the Finish.
It's decent but it's not blowing
912
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,600
me away.
Okay, I actually think just a A
913
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,700
little bit with you.
I think it's a tad dry, but I am
914
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:49,500
getting some rice spice on the
back end and it's almost a
915
00:49:49,508 --> 00:49:52,100
little tart or something.
There's something.
916
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:58,300
There's some little yeah, under
defined, something rather and
917
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:00,800
I'm not really getting a hug on
this one for 100 proof or I'm
918
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,700
not getting a Kentucky hug which
should I feel like it should be
919
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:05,500
there?
I want it to be there.
920
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:08,200
Anyway I always wanted to be
there so I'm also giving it a
921
00:50:08,207 --> 00:50:10,500
six out of ten.
I think that note that you're
922
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:14,700
picking up is the tub.
Yeah, that's what it is.
923
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,500
Old grimy tub that has funk.
That's right.
924
00:50:19,300 --> 00:50:21,600
All right, so that takes us into
our balance score.
925
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,900
Now, the way we Define balance
here on the podcast is, take
926
00:50:24,900 --> 00:50:28,400
your nose taste and finish
experiences and consider them as
927
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,400
one cohesive whole.
It doesn't necessarily mean
928
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,700
that, you know what, you picked
up in the nose had to be there
929
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:37,200
in the taste in the Finish but
we're looking more at was there
930
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,500
a peak and then like a huge
Valley or Is it one nice
931
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:44,700
drinking experience throughout
so knowing that Brad where would
932
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:46,100
you put this on the balance
score?
933
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,900
I think I'd give it a seven like
its overall, pretty well
934
00:50:49,900 --> 00:50:52,500
balanced whiskey.
You what?
935
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:56,000
I got on the aroma was a little
softer than what I ended up
936
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000
tasting and finishing with.
But overall it's it's decent,
937
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,600
it's solid.
I think that you can tell that
938
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,900
this is a high quality budget
bourbon.
939
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:08,600
Does that make sense?
Absolutely.
940
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,700
I think it does kind of hate
using the word smooth because
941
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:16,800
really what does that mean?
But I think it drinks a little
942
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:23,200
smoother than the nose gives off
but I think altogether knows the
943
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,600
palate, the finish.
I think it's pretty cohesive,
944
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,700
nothing's really jutting out.
I would say, maybe the Finish
945
00:51:31,100 --> 00:51:33,000
might be the thing.
That's lacking just a little
946
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,500
bit, but I would also give it
about a seven for me.
947
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:41,700
I agree that the Finish It
definitely wasn't where I hoped
948
00:51:41,700 --> 00:51:45,600
it would be based on the palate,
but I thought that the nose was
949
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,900
not a huge departure, but I was
really looking forward to
950
00:51:49,900 --> 00:51:51,900
something.
From all the notes that I got on
951
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:54,900
the nose that I don't feel like
is what it necessarily delivered
952
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:57,300
on on the palette.
There was a lot of overlap there
953
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:58,800
but it wasn't.
I don't know.
954
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,000
I think I was my expectations
weren't exactly met and then to
955
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,300
end what that finish, that that
was a little lackluster.
956
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:09,000
Made me give it a six point five
on the balance.
957
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,800
However, Again for the price.
I do think that it delivers I
958
00:52:13,808 --> 00:52:16,400
mean it's an enjoyable
experience, it's not all over
959
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:17,600
the place.
Yeah.
960
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,200
I'm right there with you guys.
This is, you know, it's
961
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,500
enjoyable, it's not knocking my
socks off in any way.
962
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,700
And, you know, again we were
talking about Jim Beam products.
963
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:29,800
I think that if we were
comparing this to Knob Creek at
964
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,800
100 proof, I would choose Knob
Creek over this probably any day
965
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,400
of the week.
But again, that's kind of a
966
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,200
little bit, comparing apples to
oranges because of the
967
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,100
significant price Difference
between this and Knob Creek, so
968
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:46,600
yeah, I'll give it a 7 out of 10
on the overall balance and that
969
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,800
is going to take us to our value
score.
970
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,100
This is the final score that we
do.
971
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:54,400
We do consider value in our
reviews here and me, if you're
972
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,300
only interested in the actual
tasting experience, you can look
973
00:52:58,300 --> 00:53:01,700
at our first four categories,
but we want to keep the, you
974
00:53:01,700 --> 00:53:05,700
know, the average everyday
consumer in mind and look at,
975
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:07,500
where does this stand at the
price point?
976
00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:10,300
That it's at?
Is it overpriced It underpriced
977
00:53:10,300 --> 00:53:13,800
is a huge bargain.
And Brad, I picked this up when
978
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:19,100
it was still only available in.
Kentucky, for $20.99 it has
979
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,900
since expanded Nationwide, I
think in the state of Ohio is
980
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:27,300
currently retailing at 2199 for
the price, this one's pretty
981
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:29,500
hard to beat.
Like, Chad was talking about,
982
00:53:29,500 --> 00:53:32,300
you know, really the only thing
at its price point.
983
00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:36,700
That's available Nationwide.
Is that Evan Williams bottled in
984
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:39,900
bond, which retails for about 18
bucks, and I think this is
985
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:42,400
really comparable to that.
I'm going to go ahead and give
986
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,800
this an eight and a half on
value.
987
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:50,000
Yeah, that's what I gave it to.
And the reason why two is
988
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,100
because when I know that Wild
Turkey 101 is out there for a
989
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:56,400
couple bucks less.
I'm like, well you're almost
990
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,800
there you're almost at the top
of the value but not are quite
991
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,200
personally.
That's just a reliable poor for
992
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,700
me.
And if I can spend a little bit
993
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:06,400
less money on it, then that's
what I'll do.
994
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,100
Yeah.
You know, the wild turkey.
995
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,400
Benchmark hate using that
because that's the name of
996
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,200
another bourbon the wild turkey.
It really draws a Line in the
997
00:54:17,207 --> 00:54:20,700
Sand Yellow Line in the Sand,
the pole, I don't know the limbo
998
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:22,300
pole.
I don't know the far that it
999
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:25,100
sets.
Yes, the bar is definitely a
1000
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:28,700
good one and then, you know, you
brought up Knob Creek and I
1001
00:54:28,700 --> 00:54:31,300
can't believe I wasn't thinking
about that Knob Creek, 100 Proof
1002
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,500
in our area is only $25, right?
So just a couple bucks, more $3
1003
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:39,200
more, I would definitely get
Knob Creek, 100 Proof small.
1004
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,500
Patch.
I think it's developed a bit
1005
00:54:40,500 --> 00:54:42,600
more character.
Yeah, one a little bit more
1006
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,900
depth for sure.
So I think that kind of dings it
1007
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,100
but for what it is, I still gave
it.
1008
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:52,000
I gave it an eight.
Yeah, I'm sitting at a seven and
1009
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,700
a half.
I like you guys have said it
1010
00:54:54,700 --> 00:54:58,600
all, it's a solid budget
bourbon.
1011
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,700
Like it's not the most massively
flavorful or complex whiskey.
1012
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:05,400
You're going to have.
But for twenty to twenty five
1013
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,100
dollars, you know, depending on
where you're getting it, this is
1014
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:11,300
a really solid whiskey.
It's a good pick up and I think
1015
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:13,700
it's something that you can
easily pull out on.
1016
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,100
You know, if you're having a
bourbon night with some friends,
1017
00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:19,500
or if you're like Chad and
you're having a cute girl over
1018
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:21,500
that you're interested in.
Oh yeah.
1019
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:22,900
Well, let's just have a bourbon
night.
1020
00:55:22,900 --> 00:55:25,700
All pull out a few Bourbons.
Wait, I think that's being cute
1021
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:28,300
girls over.
I told you guys that in
1022
00:55:28,308 --> 00:55:30,400
confidence.
No, man.
1023
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,000
Well that is a bin.
It's bourbon night.
1024
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,500
This is their final public
showing.
1025
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:41,600
Yeah, this is you know you guys
got a got a scoop Oh man.
1026
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,900
But yeah that's that's bringing
me to a 31.5 out of 50.
1027
00:55:46,100 --> 00:55:48,200
What's the total coming out to
for you guys?
1028
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:50,400
Brad, I'm actually a little bit
higher than you.
1029
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,900
I'm coming out to a 36 point
five which means that our
1030
00:55:53,900 --> 00:55:58,800
overall score put together is a
68 out of 100 or a 34 out of 50
1031
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:01,400
typically, where we fall on this
is that if something hits, the
1032
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,500
35, Mark will recommend buying a
bottle.
1033
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,200
I actually would still recommend
buying a bottle because it's $21
1034
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,500
like, it's Even if you don't
really care for it or if you
1035
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:14,500
think it's just like we do a
solid poor but nothing to write
1036
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:17,300
home about you're only investing
20 bucks in this.
1037
00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:19,600
I definitely think it's worth
buying a bottle.
1038
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,900
I actually would not recommend
getting a poor.
1039
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,900
You know, sometimes we say like
okay, if you don't wanna get a
1040
00:56:23,908 --> 00:56:25,400
bottle, go ahead and get a poor
at a bar.
1041
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:28,300
You're going to spend so much on
getting, you know, a one-ounce
1042
00:56:28,300 --> 00:56:31,300
sample of this that you might as
well just go ahead and go whole
1043
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:33,700
hog and get it.
Get the the bottle here.
1044
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,500
So that's where we're coming
out.
1045
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:37,100
Chad and Sarah.
Where are you guys on this one?
1046
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,600
I give it a .5, which I feel
like should just be rounded up
1047
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,200
to a 35 because I would
recommend for all the reasons
1048
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,100
that you've said that to go out
and get a bottle of this.
1049
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,400
Yeah.
And I was at a 35 35 out of 50.
1050
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,800
So, yeah, right there on the
cusp and yeah, like you said, a
1051
00:56:53,808 --> 00:56:56,800
porter bar would probably be
five to six dollars, which is a
1052
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,000
fourth, of the bottle, right?
Yeah, right.
1053
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:06,000
They also sell a 375 for $15,
which is all so ridiculous, just
1054
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:11,600
by the door full 750 Absolutely,
yeah, honestly these are the
1055
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:16,400
types of Whiskey's that bars
make just make Bank off of.
1056
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:21,600
So go buy yourself a bottle
guys, I am just so thankful to
1057
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,300
have more whiskey experts on the
show.
1058
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,500
I think it enlightens Bob and I
on just better ways of nosing
1059
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:30,500
and thinking through whiskey.
So thank you guys so much for
1060
00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:33,000
sharing your expertise here.
Well thanks for inviting us to
1061
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,700
share our pleasure.
Yeah, well let's let's jump back
1062
00:57:36,700 --> 00:57:39,200
in and finish our thoughts on
this.
1063
00:57:39,300 --> 00:57:42,800
It's just classic of a thriller
Silence of the Lambs.
1064
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,500
Alright, so that was old tub of
whiskey that we all recommend,
1065
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:31,400
especially at the price point,
and we are getting back into
1066
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,300
talking about The Silence of the
Lambs, Brad.
1067
00:58:34,300 --> 00:58:37,700
Again, this is a Best Picture
Winner, you know, I've gone back
1068
00:58:37,700 --> 00:58:40,200
and forth on my overall Thoughts
with this movie.
1069
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,300
I've always thought that this
was a very well-made movie and a
1070
00:58:43,300 --> 00:58:46,300
very good movie.
But there's just always been
1071
00:58:46,300 --> 00:58:49,800
something that kept me from
thinking it was a great movie.
1072
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:52,200
And I'm trying to parse out, is
it?
1073
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:57,000
Just because this movie changed
The landscape of the serial
1074
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,200
killer movie forever.
And that we've just had 30 years
1075
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,200
of copycats, because I really do
think that even when you watch
1076
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,400
like Criminal Minds are things
on TV.
1077
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,000
Now, they resemble the Silence
of the Lambs so much that I
1078
00:59:10,008 --> 00:59:12,900
think, maybe it's just that,
we're 30 years removed now.
1079
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:15,300
And the shock value has kind of
lost.
1080
00:59:15,300 --> 00:59:18,200
Its Effectiveness, I don't know.
What do you guys think of that?
1081
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,000
Is it, is it a movie that it has
aged poorly or have we just seen
1082
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,100
so many copycats of this that it
may not just Hold up as well as
1083
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:29,700
we would like it to.
I think that you're right there.
1084
00:59:30,300 --> 00:59:34,400
I think we've seen so much in
this vein over the past 20 years
1085
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,900
or it cost 30 years almost since
this was made.
1086
00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:43,000
Wow that it feels almost like
it's not going far enough which
1087
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,700
is weird to think about because
it's like what else do we want
1088
00:59:45,700 --> 00:59:46,500
to see?
Right.
1089
00:59:47,500 --> 00:59:49,400
But I think we got into that a
bit when we were talking about
1090
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,800
wanting to see Bill go further
like I think in 1991 when this
1091
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,700
movie came out that this Was
enough.
1092
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:59,200
And this was terrifying enough.
And I'm sure it's probably like
1093
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,900
a product of the internet,
right?
1094
01:00:00,900 --> 01:00:03,600
And, and serial killer
miniseries.
1095
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,900
That we feel like now
re-watching this again.
1096
01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:10,000
And I've seen this so many times
that it, it feels a little safe.
1097
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,300
Yeah, but I still yeah, it's an
I watched it over and over
1098
01:00:13,300 --> 01:00:14,600
again.
I definitely think it's a great
1099
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,100
film in a weird sense.
This film is still very shocking
1100
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:21,500
and it's very violent and you
see things that you really can't
1101
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:23,500
unsee.
And yet there is still an
1102
01:00:23,500 --> 01:00:26,500
element of it.
That feels kind of Like quaint.
1103
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,600
I don't know if there's another
word I can use for that, but I
1104
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,100
think because it's just like a
police procedural and you're
1105
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:35,800
following this FBI agent, it
never really made me think.
1106
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,700
Oh, this is a horror movie.
It was always more of like,
1107
01:00:38,700 --> 01:00:40,400
okay, I would call it a
thriller.
1108
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,800
I'd call it like, Brad has been
calling it a psychological
1109
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:47,200
Thriller, but I don't know that
I was ever actually terrified
1110
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,700
watching this movie, I think.
And I'm going to try to
1111
01:00:50,700 --> 01:00:53,000
articulate this the best way
that I can, but I think there's
1112
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,700
like two parts of this.
This and how I'm thinking about
1113
01:00:56,700 --> 01:01:00,600
it and that one, it's a movie
about the uncomfortableness and
1114
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,900
the terror that women can
experience at the hands of men,
1115
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:09,300
which is not a new like again.
Like we were just talking about
1116
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:13,600
it's not new subject matter.
We see stuff like that in here.
1117
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,900
Stuff like that all the time.
I think what is kind of
1118
01:01:16,900 --> 01:01:19,300
groundbreaking and stuck with
the movie, is the way in, which
1119
01:01:19,300 --> 01:01:22,700
they communicate that visually.
And through sound through that,
1120
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:25,600
eye contact that we were talking
about before like those Ways
1121
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,800
that you can't even register,
sometimes that make it feel,
1122
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,600
unsettling that again for the
same reason, so, you know, the
1123
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,800
male gaze that they're using
that to make you feel
1124
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,100
uncomfortable.
And so that's what's really
1125
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:40,100
sticking with me as to why I
think I find that it does hold
1126
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:43,800
up.
Hmm, I kind of like what they
1127
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:48,400
are, how they are making people
feel uncomfortable with with
1128
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,500
the, you know, straight to
camera.
1129
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:52,800
And those type of things where
if you're thinking about, I know
1130
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,300
this isn't a horror movie.
But, you know, We said it could
1131
01:01:56,300 --> 01:01:59,800
kind of be classified that way.
Like today, it's always that
1132
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,600
really unsettling note on the
violin that just plays like that
1133
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,000
single room.
You don't know things like that.
1134
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:11,700
Where I appreciate those things
that have become tropes.
1135
01:02:13,300 --> 01:02:17,900
I don't think it really anything
from this movie besides sort of
1136
01:02:17,900 --> 01:02:24,700
the story beats or the format.
Nothing really anything that
1137
01:02:24,700 --> 01:02:26,900
they do.
It didn't become a Trope, like
1138
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,800
they didn't have a bullet time.
You know, where the Matrix it is
1139
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,700
revolutionary and then everyone
did it and then it became a
1140
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:38,900
tired Trope, nothing for a this
movie kind of suffered because
1141
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:41,200
of that it's hard.
That's kind of what I was saying
1142
01:02:41,300 --> 01:02:42,800
like.
Yeah, okay, and the plot and
1143
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:47,400
things like that and it's very
much, you know, run-of-the-mill
1144
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:48,300
now.
Yes.
1145
01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:51,700
But I think the way in which
they went about communicating it
1146
01:02:51,700 --> 01:02:54,900
is what really stood the test of
time, okay.
1147
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,800
Okay.
And and isn't something that you
1148
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,500
see a lot of now and nothing
became.
1149
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:03,900
You know, nothing took me out of
the movie because of the Year
1150
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:07,000
there was filmed except oh well,
she would just use her cell
1151
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,400
phone at this point.
But, you know, there's so many
1152
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,100
movies that you could say that
to, like she could just call her
1153
01:03:11,100 --> 01:03:14,300
boss on her cell phone, she had
a cellphone but it's 1991 and
1154
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:16,200
yeah, right?
So that really didn't bother me,
1155
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,100
but it doesn't have a whole
whole lot of re-watch value for
1156
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:24,500
me just because I see, I love,
oh, yes, sir, every watches it
1157
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:28,200
For me, there's always more
notes you could take to learn,
1158
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:30,600
but I was just kind of thinking
when you guys are talking like
1159
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,200
it almost like you want it to
push more.
1160
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,200
Now, it's like it's okay.
It's not seven.
1161
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:42,500
I think seven is kind of like
the new Silence of the Lambs for
1162
01:03:42,500 --> 01:03:45,200
its time, sort of type of thing.
Okay, let's show more.
1163
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,900
Let's get a little bit more
graphic, but the one thing that
1164
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:54,400
I can't really forget about this
movie is when Hannibal Lecter
1165
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:59,300
takes It's the guards baton when
he's in the cell.
1166
01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:00,000
Yeah.
Yeah.
1167
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:04,100
He just whacking them with that.
Look on his face.
1168
01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:07,700
Like, he could have been making
a cake or something, just so
1169
01:04:07,700 --> 01:04:11,100
mundane the look on his face
when and the blood is
1170
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:15,000
splattering up on his white
T-shirt and on his face that
1171
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:19,500
like so much of this movie in
its Terror and it's uneasiness
1172
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,100
comes, from not, just the camera
work, but from Anthony Hopkins,
1173
01:04:23,100 --> 01:04:25,400
performance.
I feel like I think this In that
1174
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,500
sticks with me is when Clarice
is feeling around in the dark,
1175
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:30,800
and Buffalo, Bill has the night
vision goggles on like, I'm
1176
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,900
pretty sure that's the reason
why as an adult, I'm
1177
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:34,400
occasionally still afraid of the
dark.
1178
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,300
Yes, because who knows if
there's a Buffalo Bill,
1179
01:04:37,300 --> 01:04:39,000
someone's got.
What's that lesson?
1180
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,600
That we learned always carry
night vision goggles in your
1181
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,100
purse or flashlight, right?
Or that what do you guys think?
1182
01:04:45,500 --> 01:04:46,900
Well Brad.
I was going to ask you about
1183
01:04:46,900 --> 01:04:49,400
this too because, you know,
we've all watched this movie
1184
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,600
before except for you and we're
talking about it's re-watch
1185
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,700
value.
And so, maybe the best way to
1186
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:58,200
talk about that is To give out
your Brad G award for this
1187
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,200
movie.
So having come into it for the
1188
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,800
first time, what stuck out to
you in this movie?
1189
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,200
And what award would you give
the Silence of the Lambs?
1190
01:05:06,900 --> 01:05:10,400
Well, I feel like there's
there's a number of different
1191
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,900
awards that you could give it.
I'm actually gonna draw in on
1192
01:05:13,900 --> 01:05:18,600
the title of the movie and say
that this film receives the
1193
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:23,400
award for the most terrifying,
story of childhood I have ever
1194
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,800
heard in my life.
Hey, is the idea of losing your
1195
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:31,100
mother as a what she portrayed
as like, a baby or infant or
1196
01:05:31,100 --> 01:05:34,900
toddler and then losing your
father when you're 10 and then
1197
01:05:34,900 --> 01:05:41,100
going to a ranch in Montana and
listening to Lambs scream as
1198
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:44,000
they get slaughtered.
What did you do?
1199
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:53,200
Downstairs outside.
I crept up into the mornings.
1200
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,700
I'm so scared to look inside my
head.
1201
01:05:58,700 --> 01:06:01,500
What did you see?
Clarys, what did you see?
1202
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,800
Wow.
I was screaming.
1203
01:06:08,100 --> 01:06:10,500
They were slaughtering the
spring Lambs.
1204
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:16,100
They were screaming.
That is like one of the most
1205
01:06:16,100 --> 01:06:19,700
horrifying traumatizing
childhood experiences I've ever
1206
01:06:19,700 --> 01:06:21,400
seen.
And I don't know if there's any
1207
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,500
movie that we can really top
that story.
1208
01:06:23,900 --> 01:06:25,500
Yeah, that's, I mean, that's a
good point.
1209
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,700
I think it's crazy how they
connected back to like, what
1210
01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:30,100
she's doing now, right?
She's hunting, a serial killer
1211
01:06:30,100 --> 01:06:32,100
who's murdering innocent women,
right?
1212
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:35,800
Absolutely, Mmm.
Yeah, but as I was listening to
1213
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,500
you guys talk, I had a few
different thoughts, the mundane
1214
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:44,600
way that he looks at killing the
guard with the, the Baton Is
1215
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,000
like counter imposed with the
intensity and the interest that
1216
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,600
he looks at Clarisse with right.
Like it is human beings that he
1217
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,700
finds interesting, not the whole
mundane nature of killing people
1218
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,100
and I just I love that
juxtaposition and then when you
1219
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:05,700
guys were talking about it as
like a crime procedural, I think
1220
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:10,600
the thing for me that makes this
movie Stand Out and and really
1221
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:14,000
rise above all of the copycats
that came after it.
1222
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:20,000
Is that you can tell that Demi
is not using anything extraneous
1223
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,800
to the movie.
And he's not like pushing his
1224
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,800
way into anything that is
familiar.
1225
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,300
And the two things that really
stick stuck out to me, were her
1226
01:07:28,300 --> 01:07:33,100
best friend and an opening scene
that might feel meaningless.
1227
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:38,400
But she's training as an FBI
agent and she gets fake killed
1228
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:39,900
because she doesn't check the
corner.
1229
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:42,800
Right.
And what I loved about the movie
1230
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:47,000
is that it didn't Fall into this
like best friend giving advice
1231
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,500
Trope like her friend in the
academy is just there for a few
1232
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:55,700
small moments and we don't have
her for anything more than what
1233
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:57,200
we need.
Like, I feel like a lesser
1234
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:01,100
director easily could have had a
6-minute scene where she's
1235
01:08:01,100 --> 01:08:04,500
conversing with her friend and
like hashing out the details of
1236
01:08:04,500 --> 01:08:08,200
the case and it would have taken
forever and Sloan the movie down
1237
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:12,300
and that would have happened in
like a 43 minute TV episode.
1238
01:08:12,500 --> 01:08:15,600
And the second thing was, when
she's Going down the stairs into
1239
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,200
Buffalo Bill's house.
My immediate thought was, I hope
1240
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,500
she's not going to check the
corner because that's just.
1241
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:24,500
Yeah, because that's just what
directors and movies.
1242
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:28,000
Do they set you up for checking
the corner quote-unquote?
1243
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,200
And then the character like does
it and it's heroic or they don't
1244
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,899
do it and they fail because of
it and then they didn't do that
1245
01:08:33,899 --> 01:08:36,100
at all.
They didn't they didn't like use
1246
01:08:36,100 --> 01:08:39,300
that at all and I was kind of
like oh good job Demi, I'm proud
1247
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:42,399
of you for not doing that
because if this is a TV show it,
1248
01:08:42,399 --> 01:08:44,100
100% would have played into
this.
1249
01:08:44,300 --> 01:08:47,399
Story completely.
I think that's a good point and,
1250
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:49,500
and that kind of brings me
around to my final score on this
1251
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:52,000
movie.
And I think I'll start with the
1252
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,100
final scores because I'm afraid
that I might have the lowest
1253
01:08:55,100 --> 01:08:58,300
final score of all of us.
And it's not because I dislike
1254
01:08:58,300 --> 01:09:01,899
this movie like I said, I have
really gone back and forth on is
1255
01:09:01,899 --> 01:09:05,200
this a very good movie or is it
a great movie and it's
1256
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,100
definitely a movie that people
Revere.
1257
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:09,500
Like it's, you know, if you go
on IMDb I think it's like number
1258
01:09:09,500 --> 01:09:10,899
23.
All time.
1259
01:09:10,899 --> 01:09:14,300
It's super well made the first
time I saw it, it was
1260
01:09:14,300 --> 01:09:16,500
Horrifying.
I think it still holds up on
1261
01:09:16,500 --> 01:09:20,300
re-watch, but like Chad said, it
definitely loses something in
1262
01:09:20,300 --> 01:09:22,399
the re-watch.
And so I'm coming at this movie
1263
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:24,600
having seen it, you know, ten
times.
1264
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,000
Now probably I think I'm going
to give it an eight and a half
1265
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:29,800
like it's a really well-made
movie.
1266
01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:33,000
It won best picture.
I think deservedly so.
1267
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,500
But I don't know if I would put
it like in that all time ranking
1268
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,700
and I was thinking about like
serial killer movies and how
1269
01:09:40,700 --> 01:09:42,100
they've developed over the
years.
1270
01:09:42,399 --> 01:09:45,700
And I think if I had to choose
one Serial killer movie to put
1271
01:09:45,700 --> 01:09:48,100
over this.
I think I put David Fincher's
1272
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:51,800
movies, zodiac over this movie.
Like it, has that sort of, like,
1273
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,300
procedural element to it.
I think the suspense is really
1274
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:57,500
well done, and so, I think that
we've seen this movie done
1275
01:09:57,500 --> 01:10:01,400
better over the years, but it's
definitely still worth watching,
1276
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,600
especially, because of
everything we've talked about,
1277
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,900
with, you know, condemning the
male gaze and having such a, you
1278
01:10:06,900 --> 01:10:10,200
know, a really strong female
protagonist, which you still
1279
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,200
don't see in movies like this.
So, yeah, I'm coming out to an
1280
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,000
eight and a half out of ten.
Where's everybody else?
1281
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,700
Falling?
I was leaning, I was leaning 9 9
1282
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:22,200
out of 10 because I tried to put
myself back in the shoes of the
1283
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,400
first time that I saw it, and
the impact that it had, I was
1284
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,200
shook up after I watched that
movie.
1285
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,300
So I got to go with that.
And like I said, I'd continue to
1286
01:10:31,300 --> 01:10:32,600
go back to it every couple of
years.
1287
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,900
I'll be like, you know what, I'm
gonna watch that again because
1288
01:10:34,900 --> 01:10:38,100
there's just something that's
so, I don't know, it's
1289
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:41,500
comforting about.
I know that sounds crazy, but
1290
01:10:41,500 --> 01:10:43,900
the level of performance and
like that, I know what I'm going
1291
01:10:43,900 --> 01:10:44,600
to get.
Out of it.
1292
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,700
And yet I also know that there's
going to be a level of intrigue
1293
01:10:47,700 --> 01:10:49,500
every time I watch it, even
though I know it's going to
1294
01:10:49,508 --> 01:10:52,300
happen.
I just don't find things like
1295
01:10:52,300 --> 01:10:54,200
that all the time.
So yeah.
1296
01:10:54,300 --> 01:10:57,400
Agreed and I'm not stealing your
score.
1297
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,200
I promise.
I thought this before but I also
1298
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:06,500
am going to give it a 9.
I think that it's it's just a
1299
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:10,700
well-made movie on so many
levels from the directing from
1300
01:11:10,700 --> 01:11:13,100
the performances from the
cinematography.
1301
01:11:14,300 --> 01:11:17,800
That it just it stands up.
It stands up to the test of
1302
01:11:17,808 --> 01:11:18,700
time.
So, yeah.
1303
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:21,800
Nice solid nine.
Yeah, I were sounding like a
1304
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,000
broken record here, but I'm also
going to give it a 9 out of 10.
1305
01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:29,400
I think that one of my favorite
Parts about this movie is how it
1306
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:33,000
is bookended, and I love when a
director really takes into
1307
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,700
account, how a movie starts and
How It Ends.
1308
01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:39,500
And the way that the movie
starts with this, this truly
1309
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:44,100
kind of creepy tone set by the
music.
1310
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,300
Like that Howard Shore has
composed for it as you watch
1311
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:51,700
Jodie Foster run alone through a
forest, kind of covered in fog a
1312
01:11:51,700 --> 01:11:56,900
little bit and it ends with
Hannibal Lecter and this kind of
1313
01:11:56,900 --> 01:12:02,100
creepy music playing once again,
as he slowly follows his next,
1314
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:06,300
you know, Quarry down the road,
like, there's just this sense of
1315
01:12:06,300 --> 01:12:10,500
unease from start to finish in
this film and there's no
1316
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:13,200
resolution for it.
Hannibal Lecter is a looming
1317
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,300
threat at the start of the The
even though you don't know it
1318
01:12:15,300 --> 01:12:18,500
yet and he is a looming threat
at the end of the movie, just
1319
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:21,200
because he's alive.
And there's something about
1320
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,500
that.
That just I think it does stand
1321
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:26,000
the test of time as somebody
who's seen it for the first time
1322
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:31,300
30 years since its Inception.
I'm all in man, this is a great
1323
01:12:31,300 --> 01:12:33,500
film.
Alright, well there you have it.
1324
01:12:33,500 --> 01:12:37,100
I am the lone person out here at
an eight and a half but not too
1325
01:12:37,100 --> 01:12:39,800
far off of what everybody else
is bringing to the table with a
1326
01:12:39,808 --> 01:12:42,500
9 here.
If you average out Brad and my
1327
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:47,000
score you come out to an At 75
out of 10, we would love to know
1328
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,100
what you think of this movie.

movies as much since College.

podcast, where each week, we
review a classic movie and a
9
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,500
glass of whiskey.
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G and
10
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:56,200
this week we are looking at the
1991 Best Picture Winner.
11
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,300
The Silence of the Lambs Brad.
This is kind of lining up at a
12
00:01:00,308 --> 00:01:02,900
perfect time for us.
We are in the middle of women's
13
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:05,300
History Month.
This movie has one of the best
14
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:08,700
female protagonist of all time,
and it's also kind of kick
15
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,600
starting a new series for us
where we're going to be looking
16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600
at Best Picture winners.
So we've selected a number of
17
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,300
Best Picture winners in the
lead-up to next month's.
18
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:22,100
Oscars, I'm super pumped to use
this movie as our Bridge movie
19
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,700
to talk about today, you know,
Bob, I'm just going to be
20
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,400
upfront and honest.
This is one of those movies.
21
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:33,400
Is that when you were a young
lad in the early to mid-1990s,
22
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,300
you would be perusing the, the
walls of a of your local
23
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:41,000
Blockbuster Blockbuster.
For those of you young enough
24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,800
was a place where you went to
like, get movies and you gave
25
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,200
them money and you brought them
home for like a week.
26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,200
Is that a good explanation?
Yeah, I think it is.
27
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,300
But yeah, I would go to
Blockbuster and I would see this
28
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,400
movie on the shelves and there
was just something.
29
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,900
Thing about it, that was
absolutely terrifying to like
30
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,400
five six seven year, old me.
And I don't know if that horror
31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,500
has ever left me and I've like
refused to watch this movie.
32
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,700
So I just want you to know that,
I still haven't watched it and
33
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:15,100
we're just going to make stuff
up.
34
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,900
Please, please tell me that's a
joke.
35
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,700
Bob, the best part is that
there's a part of you that
36
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:27,800
really is wondering.
Oh absolutely, I'm Brad, you
37
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600
know.
I did watch the movie for this.
38
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,900
I just want you to know how much
I love you.
39
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,800
This podcast and filming whiskey
Nation enough to overcome this
40
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,500
deep-seated childhood fear.
Well, I'll tell you what, man,
41
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:42,600
it is a justifiable fear because
there are elements of this
42
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,000
movie, that are absolutely
terrifying.
43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,700
It is one of only a handful of
movies that could be considered
44
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:52,300
a horror movie that have ever
been nominated for Best Picture
45
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:53,700
Brad, we're going to get into
it.
46
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:54,700
We're going to break it all
down.
47
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:57,300
We're going to talk about your
first time watching this movie,
48
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:00,500
but in order to do that, that we
need to welcome in some special
49
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,800
guest hosts.
We have Chad and Sarah with us
50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200
from the YouTube channel.
It's bourbon night.
51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,900
Chad and Sarah.
How are you guys doing?
52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,400
We're doing great.
Pretty good.
53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,400
Thank you so much for being
along on the ride watching this.
54
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:18,400
Highly uncomfortable film.
I'm really excited to see how we
55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,100
talk about this one, as we kind
of intro the movie.
56
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,300
Before we talk about anything
else.
57
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,900
What made you choose this movie
to come on our show and talk
58
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,700
about today?
That's a good question.
59
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:37,100
I think your question.
I mean I shocker love serial
60
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:39,700
killer information.
I don't know, like
61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400
documentaries.
So Shane she learned refers to
62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,300
them as how to's?
Well, I'm sure.
63
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:50,800
Really is more of a how to not
not be kidnapped and have your
64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,400
skin worn as a suit.
That's more of those live a
65
00:03:54,408 --> 00:03:58,000
little over how to Amman
typically used formation.
66
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,500
Yeah, these are things.
Honestly, I was a little worried
67
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,000
that you were just going to
leave it at.
68
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:06,100
I love cereal.
Oh, I love serial killers.
69
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,100
That's why she married me.
I still have even been caught.
70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,600
No, I just, I find, I think
it's, you know, some people will
71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,500
be, like, why are you scared of
monster movies but not serial
72
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,600
killer movies and I'm like, I
don't know why.
73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,899
I think I find there's comfort
in like seeing it play out this
74
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:25,000
real life threat and like, hmm,
think seeing how things happen
75
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,300
and thinking like, how would I
defend against that?
76
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,600
It's almost soothing Away.
No, that's probably weird.
77
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,400
No, it's cathartic to think
about how you defend your site.
78
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,600
As I get out, I'm trying to
prepare myself, right?
79
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,500
Little sure toolkit Chad, why
did you pick this movie?
80
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:42,200
I, I was not.
What do you want?
81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,700
Yes, exactly.
I was kind of, like, A League of
82
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:45,900
Their Own.
That's fun.
83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Like, like a good husband.
I was like, absolutely not.
84
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,200
We need dark and I'm here.
I can't remember the list now,
85
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,200
but wasn't like Wally on there
or something.
86
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,200
Oh yeah.
And I was, I was my second
87
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400
choice like, oh, Wally.
The League of Their Own, you
88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,500
know?
And it's there was like, sounds
89
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,300
of lamps.
It's like, yeah, sounds good
90
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:05,300
definitely.
That's the one.
91
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,500
So Sarah, you're like, movie,
preferences are either serial
92
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,000
killer movies or Pixar.
Correct.
93
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:16,400
Now, when they can combine the
two, that is it.
94
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,000
That is the next Oscar winner.
That's a day.
95
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200
We're looking forward to.
I mean, I'd watch it.
96
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Absolutely, it would be great.
All right guys, so can you break
97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,700
down for us a little bit about,
you know, the the Should have
98
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:31,700
the YouTube channel, maybe how
you guys met some of our
99
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,500
listeners.
I'm sure are familiar with you.
100
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,800
You have an incredibly
successful YouTube channel.
101
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,700
I am a huge fan.
I've been subscribing for a
102
00:05:37,707 --> 00:05:41,100
couple of years now but but
yeah, absolutely.
103
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,100
Thank you.
I have to thank you even before
104
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:47,000
you get started on your intro
for introducing us to the phrase
105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Kentucky hug, which is something
that we have wholeheartedly
106
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,300
stolen from you.
And it is, it's really, really
107
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:56,900
helpful for us to use as we talk
about tasting whiskey.
108
00:05:57,300 --> 00:05:58,200
So what?
Thank you.
109
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,900
For the Kentucky hug, first of
all?
110
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,900
Yeah, absolutely.
We will Kentucky hug.
111
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:05,000
Anyone who wants to be Kentucky
hooked?
112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,500
We can't take credit for it.
Credit goes to Fred.
113
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:13,400
No from Jim Beam, but yeah, we
definitely can take a little bit
114
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,900
of credit for spreading it
around.
115
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:16,700
It's meant to be shared.
Yeah, absolutely.
116
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,400
Had, I'm curious.
It would your serial killer
117
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,800
named be the Kentucky hugger?
Yeah, I got a pretty good bear
118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,100
hug.
So I would you know, start off.
119
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,000
Ice and they were like, oh, this
is a little little too tight
120
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,100
there buddy, little
uncomfortable.
121
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:35,600
And then, if you like help and
then it's lights out, we are off
122
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,900
to a great start you guys.
I'm not sure how I feel about
123
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:43,300
that.
So walk us through like the
124
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,000
creation of the YouTube channel
and how you guys came to be
125
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,300
where you are today.
Oh goodness, I'll try to make it
126
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,100
the I tend to go off on tangents
so I'll try to make it The
127
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,700
Abridged version but we're both
working.
128
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:00,500
I was working in marketing.
Apartment for a restaurant group
129
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,500
that was opening a bourbon bar.
So I was getting really
130
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,700
interested in Bourbon because I
was like Hey I've lived in
131
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,000
Kentucky my whole life.
Now I'm working on this bar
132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,900
that's going to have 200 plus
Bourbons.
133
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:11,900
I could probably couldn't even
name 20.
134
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,500
So I was like, okay, I'm
starting to get more into
135
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:16,700
bourbon.
We were shooting a video for
136
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,400
that particular bar that was
opening.
137
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,900
Chad, worked on the video crew.
We met, we did a couple
138
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:25,200
different shoots over the course
of a few months.
139
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:31,400
So we started hanging out and In
our own bourbon nights as
140
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,700
friends.
We kept it as friends for a
141
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,800
while then we realized as we
were doing these bourbon, I
142
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,000
swear we do tastings and flights
and things like, wait a second,
143
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,900
Chad you're in video production,
I'm in marketing, our powers
144
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:45,800
combined.
We could create a YouTube
145
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800
channel, you'll be unstoppable.
Know, it was really more just
146
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,700
like, Hey, we're doing this, why
not try to make something fun
147
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,100
out of it, even if it's just a
hobby that is for ourselves, we
148
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,200
never really expected and much
too.
149
00:07:58,300 --> 00:07:59,800
Come of it.
I mean, I remember one day we
150
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,100
were like, can you imagine if we
ever had like a thousand
151
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,100
subscribers?
Like, what if we read 10,000
152
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,700
subscribers?
That would be crazy.
153
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,000
That's not even real.
And now here we are.
154
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,200
Yeah, it's been, it'll be five
years.
155
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,100
This June that we've been
working on the channel.
156
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:17,400
And, I mean, it still feels new
though.
157
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,700
Feels like we just started it
yesterday, and it also feels
158
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,600
like we've been doing it for
forever because the community is
159
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,500
so amazing, and they just feel
like family.
160
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,600
And I can't imagine, you know,
doing anything else to be
161
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,800
honest.
True.
162
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,400
I had always kind of been
looking well, not always for,
163
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,600
for a couple years.
I had had the idea of a YouTube
164
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,100
channel in my head and I was
kind of looking for the right
165
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,700
person to do it along with me,
because I knew that I wasn't
166
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,400
going to do it solo scouted me.
Yeah.
167
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,400
So then when Sarah came along, I
was like, ah, this we met for a
168
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,100
reason.
Yes, let's let's do this.
169
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200
Let's do this YouTube thing so
it just made sense you know.
170
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,200
Of course we spent a lot of time
together and there was bourbon
171
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:02,400
Moved, you know what trips
travel and just got to know each
172
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,000
other over time and you know
eventually Chiapas like so do
173
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,700
you want to get married or what?
Yes, I just came down to the
174
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,200
courthouse.
Then no.
175
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,000
I mean, I definitely thought
about it but no we ended up
176
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,100
doing the whole big thing and it
was like, what the fall of 2019.
177
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,400
So literally one of the last big
events that we did before we got
178
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,100
out in under the wire and right?
Yeah.
179
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Yeah logs and say you guys are
located in Lexington.
180
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,500
One of the my favorite weddings
that I've ever officiated was
181
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:37,200
right in Triangle Park.
Right downtown.
182
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,800
It was like in the middle of
December, at midnight and I did
183
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,500
a wedding for battle and there's
like 50 people there and it was
184
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,700
a blast, that's awesome.
So I will say, what, what Brad
185
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:50,700
was talking about is a perfect
segue because as I was reading
186
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:53,900
your background and kind of the
Inception of this, this YouTube
187
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:56,000
channel.
I realized that we actually had
188
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,900
a ton of overlap because Brad,
And I were actually going to
189
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:04,000
grad school in Wilmore while you
guys were starting this Channel.
190
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,500
And so when I was reading like,
you know, some interviews that
191
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:11,200
Sarah had done where she talked
about starting this bourbon bar
192
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,500
was like, oh my gosh, that has
to be 0, BC kitchen, right?
193
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:17,100
And and then I realized that was
the first bourbon bar I ever
194
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,200
went to that was where I kind of
fell in love with bourbon and I
195
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400
remember going there with my
wife and looking at the awesome
196
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400
b-roll that was playing on the
TVs.
197
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,000
And and now knowing that that
was Chad Film that.
198
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:32,400
And that Sarah, you were like
launching that bourbon bar.
199
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,600
Like that's, it's just
incredible to me.
200
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Like, I used to go there as a
poor grad student, and wait
201
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,400
until the kitchen closed at
10:00 and asked them if they had
202
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,200
any more, you know, bacon with
peanut butter to dip it in and
203
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,200
they would just give it to me
and it was like, heaven.
204
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,500
So, I feel like I have to
express my gratitude for that
205
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:54,000
place to both of you for making
it so special to me.
206
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:56,300
Well, they're not supposed to
feed Strays know.
207
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,000
That's so nice to hear, you
know, that's it.
208
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,600
Yeah, it's sometimes it, I
forget until we take people back
209
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,800
there when they come in town to
visit because like we just don't
210
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,300
get out that much anymore.
Sure ably.
211
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,300
But whenever we do end up going
there and I see that video.
212
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,200
I mean it's definitely gives you
the feels because I'm like well
213
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,700
this is where it all began.
Yeah, we okay, if it hadn't been
214
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:22,100
for that place we probably never
would have met so probably not.
215
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,800
That's awesome.
It's very special.
216
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:27,700
It's wild because it really
speaks to like what the heart of
217
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:32,100
the Community is all about that.
It is all about bringing people
218
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,400
together, to share great
experiences and sometimes, you
219
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,900
never know, it leads to love and
sometimes it leads to us talking
220
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,700
about serial killer movies tag
on, right?
221
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,600
It does Brad.
This is your first time watching
222
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,000
The Silence of the Lambs.
It's time for us to move into
223
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,400
the segment that we call Brad
explains.
224
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,000
This is where Brad breaks down
the plot of the movie that he
225
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
has just seen often for the
first time if you are a
226
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,100
first-time listener to our
Podcast.
227
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
The whole conceit behind this
podcast is that I am a huge
228
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,900
movie nerd.
Brad has not seen a lot of these
229
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,700
classic movies and is
encountering.
230
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,600
A lot of them for the first time
and we drink whiskey together
231
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,700
while we talk about it.
So, Brad, this is your shining
232
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,700
opportunity to talk about this
movie that has terrified you
233
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,200
from childhood.
As you know, Brad we have
234
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,000
implemented a strict 62nd.
Brad explains limit this this
235
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,300
season.
Can you break down the plot of
236
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:27,500
The Silence of the Lambs for our
listeners in under 60 seconds,
237
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,900
man?
I was really hoping to like have
238
00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:33,400
as much time as possible and
just be like we start alone,
239
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,900
Jodie, Foster running through
the woods, right?
240
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,500
Yeah, but I would love to
explain it.
241
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:43,300
The Silence of the Lambs is a
psychological Thriller about a
242
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:48,100
young FBI's student named
Clarice Starling, who is tasked
243
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:53,100
with interviewing, an old serial
killer who was a cannibal named
244
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:56,900
Hannibal Lecter.
And Hannibal is helping her to
245
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,000
solve a case.
Case that is happening.
246
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,200
Now the new sillier serial
killer named Buffalo.
247
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,700
Bill who is skinning?
His captives alive.
248
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:12,000
And so the relationship between
ha and Starling is kind of the
249
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800
centerpiece of the movie.
Hannibal is, actually a
250
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,200
psychiatrist.
He's dr.
251
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,300
Hannibal Lecter.
And so he's delving into her
252
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:22,800
history and her past and trying
to glean as much as he can to
253
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,300
find anything interesting to go
on in this prison cell that has
254
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,400
stuck in.
And at a certain point later in
255
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,800
the movie Hannibal, kind of a
range has a transfer to a new
256
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,800
prison.
He escaped skills.
257
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Some guards, wears a face and
Jodie Foster finds her way with
258
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,800
Hannibal's, help to the new
serial killers Lair, and she is
259
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,500
able to hunt down and kill the
serial killer Buffalo Bill and
260
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:52,400
his lair, and time in his lair.
Perfect it.
261
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,200
Yeah, I was trying not to say
layer twice in a row.
262
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,200
I'll tell you what man that she
saves the day, man.
263
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Most states.
Do you need a serial killers
264
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,900
dwellings?
Yeah, I know.
265
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:08,300
Yeah but I have to end with one
of the greatest ending lines in
266
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:12,100
the history of Cinema.
I'm having an old friend for
267
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,400
dinner.
Oh, it's so good.
268
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,600
Okay, so I just have to share
something real quick, so Sarah.
269
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,400
And I watch this, what would you
say to next three weeks ago?
270
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,300
Now, I would say it was, at
least a month ago.
271
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:26,700
Yeah, probably a month ago.
We probably watched it a little
272
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:29,100
bit too far.
Out from from our recording and
273
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:31,300
we were excited.
We've both seen it before, but
274
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,400
we hadn't seen in a long time.
Anyway, so today we're like,
275
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:38,300
let's watch one of those recap
videos on YouTube just you know,
276
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,500
just to refresh our memories and
it's been a month.
277
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,200
This guy who was doing it, it
was like one of those, you know,
278
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:50,100
Recaps and five minutes.
He ruined ruined ruined the the
279
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,500
best line he said.
And then Hannibal Lecter says,
280
00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:55,600
I'm having an old friend over
for dinner.
281
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,000
No, that's not the law.
Actually takes everything out of
282
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,200
the line that pisses me off,
actually, yeah.
283
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,400
But, um, yeah, I mean,
everything about that line.
284
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,700
It's the way Hopkins delivers
it, right?
285
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,800
Like he just has this perfect
Immaculate.
286
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,100
Annunciation that leaves.
Absolutely.
287
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,800
No room for thinking anything
other than what he's about to
288
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,000
do?
Yeah.
289
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,800
Well Brad, I think that's a
really good transition into
290
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,600
talking about the performances
in the movie and I think we
291
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,200
should really focus on the
three.
292
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:31,000
Three kind of main characters
here in Lecter, Starling and
293
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Buffalo Bill.
And since you've already brought
294
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,500
up Anthony Hopkins let's talk
about Hannibal Lecter he is one
295
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:40,400
of the most iconic villains in
cinema history.
296
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,000
Anthony Hopkins wins the act of
best actor Oscar despite only
297
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,700
being in the movie for I think
20 minutes like and and the
298
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:52,000
funny thing is he totally
deserved it like even if he was
299
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,500
only on screen for 20 minutes.
I mean, this is going to sound
300
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:58,500
stupid to rhyme but like I was
Through the whole movie, The
301
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,400
Specter of him is hanging over
the whole movie and I wish I
302
00:16:02,408 --> 00:16:05,100
could think of a better word
than the Specter of Lecter, but
303
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,400
like it really does.
Like there's just this sense
304
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,200
that at all times he is
operating in the background.
305
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:15,700
There's this this sense of dread
that comes over you knowing that
306
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:20,300
he's out there after he escapes.
It is a commanding performance
307
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:23,000
from Anthony Hopkins.
But I will say the thing that
308
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,700
really struck me this time
through Brad is that I think
309
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:30,900
that what makes it rewatchable
isn't just the scary parts isn't
310
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:35,300
just, when he's kind of toying
with Clarice, it's how Sassy he
311
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,700
is at times and how kind of
snarky he is.
312
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,500
You can really tell that Hopkins
is having fun with this role.
313
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:44,900
And that, even though he's a
terrifying villain, he really
314
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:47,600
does kind of have an ease about
him as well.
315
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,000
Oh yeah.
There's a few moments especially
316
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,800
early with him where I actually
like almost laughed out loud
317
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,300
with some of his dialogue.
Like he's so The end sharp in
318
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:03,200
his in the way he delivers his
lines and also I think that the
319
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,300
script in this movie is over all
like it's pretty good.
320
00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:08,400
It's not the best script I've
ever seen for a film.
321
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:15,800
However the writing for Hannibal
is just so good, it's just over
322
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,099
the top and its ability to
capture this, this insanely
323
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:25,900
precise mind that thinks through
everything to the nth degree and
324
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:27,300
Brad.
One of the things that I I
325
00:17:27,308 --> 00:17:30,200
really really loved is the way
that they introduced him.
326
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,000
You know you're coming down that
hallway.
327
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,400
Full of just deranged
Psychopaths who are
328
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,100
progressively more and more
violent in their behavior
329
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,000
towards Clarice.
And you know that this guy is at
330
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800
the end of the hall and you're
looking at this hallway like,
331
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,100
from her point of view and all
of a sudden it comes kind of
332
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:48,400
around the corner and you just
see, Anthony Hopkins standing
333
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,500
there, calmly passively and like
he doesn't look imposing at all.
334
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,800
And when he says hello it's like
a very cordial.
335
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,700
Like hello.
And you're like Who is this?
336
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:01,000
This is the serial killer and
then they use the rest of that
337
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,400
scene to just slowly crank up
the tension and it gets to the
338
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,100
point where like he's really mad
that she has been sent to screw
339
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:13,600
with him and he decides to toy
with her instead and it really
340
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,800
becomes like this kind of
psychological torture throughout
341
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000
that scene.
And then let you know later on
342
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,600
when you find out that he's been
like whispering to the guy in
343
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,000
the cell next to him to the
point where he swallows his own
344
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,700
tongue is super believable
because you've Seen already, how
345
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,300
much damage and how much torture
he can do to Clarice.
346
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Just in that one little sequence
that they have, yeah, and I love
347
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,100
villains like that.
That, you know, he's as you
348
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:43,600
said, as she's walking down the
hall, they're basically like Mad
349
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,900
Dogs and then you come to
Hannibal and he's, you know,
350
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,500
just very calm and collected.
I love villains like that
351
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:52,600
because obviously, he's the most
deadly of all of them and that
352
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,800
entire hallway, but he's the
most composed and those type of
353
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,800
villain In cinema I think are
the more compelling of course.
354
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:06,900
Yeah he feels like this Moriarty
type of villain that's just so
355
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:09,400
far beyond everyone else that
you're like how did he even get
356
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,700
captured in the first place?
I read a fun fact that Anthony
357
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:16,300
Hopkins convinced the director
that has jumped through jumpsuit
358
00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:19,600
should be white instead of
orange because it would be more
359
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,500
unsettling like to see the stark
white and that dark cell like
360
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:25,600
that instead of the orange and I
don't know why.
361
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,100
But I, when I thought about that
I was Like, actually, I think
362
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:30,800
that it was a good choice
because it does.
363
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,700
It feels weird like a little
off-kilter, like why absolutely
364
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:36,800
put him in white.
It also makes them feel a little
365
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,200
less pedestrian.
Like, if it was just orange, you
366
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,900
would just feel like a normal,
right?
367
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:43,200
Your everyday, their criminal.
Yeah, exactly.
368
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,100
White White's, almost more like
it like elevates him, you know,
369
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:49,200
as like a drape jacket or yes.
I'll mmm.
370
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,700
Yes, very much.
Yeah.
371
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,300
So Chad, I want to ask your
opinion on something as a
372
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:57,900
videographer especially there's
a thing that the Of this movie.
373
00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:01,000
Jonathan Demi is known for, and
they call it the Demi close-up.
374
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,300
And if you notice every time
there's a close up in this
375
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:08,400
movie, or almost every time, the
characters that are being shot
376
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,700
are looking straight down the
barrel of the camera.
377
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,400
They're essentially breaking the
fourth wall and it's not
378
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,700
something that you see in a lot
of movies, like, you try to keep
379
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:19,000
eyelines consistent, and you try
not to break the 180 degree
380
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,200
rule, they call it.
But in this movie, you are put
381
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,600
directly in the position of
whoever is, you know, listening
382
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,600
to the person in the close-up
and when it's on Hannibal Lecter
383
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,100
and he is staring right down
into your soul it is incredibly
384
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,700
unsettling.
So I mean I guess I just wanted
385
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,500
to pick your brain.
Did you notice the camera work
386
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:42,500
in that aspect and what other
kind of visual things stood out
387
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:45,100
to you in the movie?
Yeah I think Sara and I both
388
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:49,200
kind of picked up on that pretty
quickly and it's really I think
389
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,300
to kind of comment on how
Clarice is being observed.
390
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,300
Yep.
I by men in the The because she
391
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:01,800
is always looking off to the
side and people are always
392
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,500
looking directly into the camera
when they're speaking to her.
393
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:09,500
And it's really the only time
that Jodie Foster looks directly
394
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:13,600
to the camera as when she's
talking to her female friend.
395
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:15,200
I think they're like doing
laundry.
396
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,400
I think they're sitting on like
a washer and dryer or something
397
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,300
and they're going over the case
files.
398
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:22,500
And she looks directly into the
camera, which is her friend and
399
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:26,400
her friend looks directly into
the camera which is to Clarice.
400
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,800
But every other time, if it's
looking directly to the camera,
401
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,800
it's a man talking to her and
she's always the one with the
402
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,600
eye line off.
And I thought that's obviously
403
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,100
very deliberate and I think it's
something that the audience can
404
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:44,500
pretty easily pick up on.
Well, and one of my favorite
405
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:47,600
interactions.
I'm so glad you brought up how
406
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,100
men observe her throughout the
movie, because one of the key
407
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:55,800
things that you know, Hannibal
talks about is this idea of
408
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,300
sight, like what do we see, we
see what we want and it brings
409
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:03,700
in this idea of covetousness was
the first in principle thing.
410
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:06,600
He does.
What needs does he serve by
411
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:12,900
killing anger?
Um, social acceptance?
412
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,900
Sexual frustrations know it
cuts.
413
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:23,000
That is his nature.
And how do we begin to covered
414
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,900
Clarice?
Do we seek out things to
415
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:29,200
covered?
Make an effort to answer now.
416
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Now, we just now we begin by
coveting.
417
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,400
What we see every day.
And it feels like all of these
418
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,900
men in the movie have so many
different various feelings.
419
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:46,200
When they see Jodie Foster
walking into the room.
420
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:51,000
And yet, the only person in the
entire movie, gee that really
421
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,200
truly respects Jodie Foster for
who she is and treats her.
422
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,500
Like, she's really brilliant is
Hannibal.
423
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:00,900
Yeah, like she kind of gets that
from her boss.
424
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,500
The, I can't remember his name
right now, who's the guy that
425
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:07,500
like calls her in Jack cross?
Yeah, Scott Glenn is the actor.
426
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,300
Yeah.
Sky.
427
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,400
Yeah.
Just got Glen.
428
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:13,700
So Crawford calls her in.
He kind of treats her with with
429
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,800
respect and he learns to do
that.
430
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,900
You know, she basically tells
him like, Hey, like, if you
431
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:22,300
treat me like crap.
Nobody else's today, but but
432
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,600
it's just fascinating to me that
the only person who looks her
433
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,100
dead in the eye and not just for
her.
434
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,300
Physical beauty is Hannibal
Lecter, and he's the one who who
435
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:37,900
treats her well and I that I
think things like that are what
436
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:41,200
make a script even better?
Yeah, I think that's what's the
437
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,200
most disturbing for me.
I mean, when you think about it,
438
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,200
because they present him in that
way, is like the only person who
439
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,200
really tries to get to know her
the only person.
440
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:51,000
Who's like really super direct
with her.
441
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,400
As like he, he's the most
terrifying man in the movie and
442
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,000
yet, we feel like he's giving
her, I don't know, the most
443
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,900
respect the most, like
acknowledgement and then there's
444
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:07,700
all these other people in her
life who are who, you know,
445
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:11,700
should be co-workers or bosses
or whatever and be respectful.
446
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:16,000
And then we see, like Chad was
saying, like, just, there's like
447
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,700
the elevator scene where
everyone's bigger than Her and
448
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:21,800
she's made to feel small and
then there's the scene at the
449
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,800
morgue.
We're like everyone turns and
450
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,500
looks at her at once.
There's just all these scenes
451
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:30,500
were, she's definitely not in
the same position as she is when
452
00:24:30,500 --> 00:24:33,800
she's talking to Hannibal.
But that's weird because he is a
453
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,800
terrifying serial killer.
Yeah, very polite.
454
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:39,500
And I'm so glad that everyone
like is picking up on this too
455
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,700
because I definitely noticed it
this time.
456
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:47,500
Jonathan Demi is perfectly
willing to kind of get out of
457
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,100
the rhythm of the editing.
And in order to Showcase that to
458
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,100
like and it made me think about,
there's, you know, there's this
459
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:56,400
concept in, like, film studies.
That's called the male gaze.
460
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,800
And essentially, it's when a
director, who is usually a male
461
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:07,000
is using the camera in a way
that a man would look at a
462
00:25:07,008 --> 00:25:08,900
woman.
Lustfully, so like, if you think
463
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:13,100
about the way that Michael Bay
would film Megan, Fox in the
464
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:16,400
Transformers movies where it's
just super objectifying the
465
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,900
camera.
Lingers in places that it
466
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:21,900
shouldn't linger.
And this movie, it is all about
467
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:24,300
the male gaze, but it's totally
condemning it.
468
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,800
And so, like, you have these
scenes where it's like, two
469
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,300
characters are talking and then
like one character will walk off
470
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:33,000
screen and the camera will just
Linger on the second person for
471
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,500
a while.
And you're kind of wondering,
472
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,800
like, why didn't they cut away
their but as the movie kind of
473
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,400
builds and they do it more and
more, you start to realize that
474
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,600
Demi is doing this thing where
he is like implicating all of
475
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,700
the men in the movie in being
just huge, creeps and huge pervs
476
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,100
like there.
There's even A little scene
477
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,500
where it's Kasi Lemmons and
Jodie, Foster are just out for a
478
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:58,100
jog and all of the the male FBI
trainees who jog past them?
479
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,100
Alternately turn around.
Yeah, all of them do.
480
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,000
It's like that Meme.
Yeah, absolutely.
481
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:07,600
And I just, I really love that,
you know, even the people who
482
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,000
you think are trustworthy people
like at the very end of the
483
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,100
movie, there's another guy that
graduates, the academy with
484
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:15,500
them, and he like, he grabs, one
of them and says, hey, let's
485
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:18,200
take a picture together, and you
can tell how uncomfortable she
486
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,800
is and I just, I really love
that.
487
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,400
They subtly worked this critique
into the movie that even while
488
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,400
we're looking at the things that
Buffalo Bill is doing to these
489
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,000
people.
He is not, you know so far down
490
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,400
the road that we can't identify
what's driving him.
491
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:40,600
Like it's very perverse but that
perversity is is present in a
492
00:26:40,608 --> 00:26:44,300
lot of people in this movie.
Yeah, I think you totally hit
493
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:46,300
the nail on the head.
There like we're seeing Buffalo
494
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:48,800
Bill as being like the extreme
version of this but then the
495
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,600
rest of The movie is filled with
everyday instances of things
496
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,700
that are in the same vein but
not as Extreme as what he's
497
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:58,000
doing, right?
Yeah, and can we talk about the
498
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,800
Bug Guy?
Remember when she goes to get
499
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,800
the moth as a mom?
Yeah she goes to get the mop
500
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,400
identified at like a library or
it's some sort of a.
501
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,700
So one of the actors, they're
one of the two bug guys book
502
00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:16,100
scientist was caused by one bug
idea bug guy to he was
503
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,900
cross-eyed in one eye and he was
looking at I think that had to
504
00:27:19,908 --> 00:27:23,200
be on purpose, right?
There's no they wouldn't have
505
00:27:23,208 --> 00:27:27,700
just casted that actor just
because right so his right eye
506
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:31,600
was looking in and his left eye
was looking at Clarisse.
507
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,500
Yeah, and I don't know what that
could be like a commentary on
508
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:36,800
though, but I agree with you.
It had to be intentional because
509
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,200
he asked her out.
He asks her out and he comes
510
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,800
across very nice.
So I think it's fair to do a
511
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,700
job.
Yeah.
512
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:47,000
So it's like is he being nice?
Is he being a creep?
513
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Were not really sure because he
sort of, in the middle.
514
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,300
All right, your he's sort of in
the middle like his eyes.
515
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,400
Well, yeah, exactly.
Oh my gosh, I am like I'm
516
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,000
nerding out over here right now.
I'm so happy that we're breaking
517
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
down this movie at such a deep
level.
518
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,400
But before we go to break, Brad,
I do want to hit on these other
519
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,300
two performances.
Especially let's talk about
520
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:08,600
Jodie Foster because we've been
talking about the way everyone
521
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,200
in the movie, looks at her, you
know, Brad and I were texting
522
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,400
before we recorded this episode,
I kind of asked him what his
523
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,300
General thoughts on the movie
were, and of course, on your
524
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:20,700
first viewing, Anthony Hopkins.
As Hannibal Lecter is really
525
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,700
going to stand out but for me,
you know, having seen this movie
526
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,900
a few times.
Now, I think the best
527
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:29,800
performance to re-watch is
Jodie, Foster because she is
528
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,900
doing just so much subtle stuff
in her performance, where it's
529
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,500
almost like, you know, because
her character goes from being a
530
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:42,200
little more timid to a little
more assertive, you see that
531
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,600
slow transformation throughout
the movie, but also just as an
532
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,200
actress, I think she knows that
some of these other
533
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,900
performances.
Are much bigger and much more
534
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:53,000
showy.
Like Hannibal Lecter is a big
535
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,900
showy performance, Buffalo
Bills, a big showy performance.
536
00:28:56,500 --> 00:28:59,500
And she's really just content in
a lot of scenes to kind of
537
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,800
support that other person and I
really her performance really
538
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,900
blew me away this time.
I mean, it was she absolutely
539
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:10,600
deserved the Oscar that she won
but I think in a lot of ways she
540
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,000
even tops.
What Anthony Hopkins is doing
541
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,800
here.
Well what I think what was
542
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:21,200
really truly amazing about her.
Her It's is the fact that she
543
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,200
plays this dichotomy.
So well-liked, in the face of
544
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:29,600
99% of the characters of the
movie, she comes across as a
545
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,400
slightly demure, but confident
young woman who recognizes that
546
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,400
she is a student who recognizes
that.
547
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,100
She's, you know, not like a top,
detective at the FBI.
548
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:44,300
She's just kind of there to do
her job and she's kind of cool.
549
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:49,400
Calm confident and relaxed.
But when it comes to Hannibal
550
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,000
the only person who truly
respects her in this movie, he
551
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
is the only one where you see
the other side of her
552
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,100
performance.
And I think that is what gives
553
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:01,200
her performance strength is
those moments where she breaks
554
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,600
down just in the slightest.
Because Hannibal is actually
555
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,300
paying attention to her is
actually like looking into her
556
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:13,000
soul and trying to dig at things
that have been bothering her her
557
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,600
entire life.
And so, I think it's that
558
00:30:15,608 --> 00:30:19,100
dichotomy of a performance where
She presents this front to the
559
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:23,600
entire world, except for the
serial killer that like, that is
560
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,600
what makes her performance?
So powerful.
561
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:29,600
Yeah.
And I thinking about that, I was
562
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,000
wondering, like this kind of
goes against what we were just
563
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
talking about, but the front
that she puts out, right?
564
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,100
Is a form of control, right?
She's in all these situations
565
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:43,000
with coworkers and things and so
she's putting that forward as
566
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,700
like that is her way of
controlling the situation but I
567
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:50,000
think when she's with Hannah, He
gets below the surface and into
568
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,100
her past at things that I think
throw her off kilter and she
569
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:54,900
loses control.
And I think that's what brings
570
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:56,700
out those elements of her
character.
571
00:30:56,700 --> 00:31:00,400
That are so interesting of like,
who is she, when, when she's not
572
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:03,500
putting that mask on?
Yeah, for sure.
573
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,600
And then, so I think we go from
the most complex character in
574
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,300
the movie.
In Clarisse to the least complex
575
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:13,800
character in a lot of ways in
Buffalo Bill, and I feel like
576
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,600
they try to do a lot to set him
up, like, they talked about his
577
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,400
motivation.
Ins.
578
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,100
They talk about, you know,
there's a lot of conversation
579
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:22,300
about like, is he transsexual?
No, he's not.
580
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,600
He just wants to, you know,
metamorphose into something
581
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,200
else.
And and I was really looking
582
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,200
forward to them getting a little
bit more in-depth with his
583
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,500
character, but they never really
do.
584
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,400
And I think, if I do have one
complaint with the movie, it's
585
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,600
that they spend so much time
developing the Hannibal, Lecter
586
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600
and Clarice relationship that
Buffalo Bills.
587
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,900
Really, not in the movie that
much like he comes in.
588
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:49,300
I think like 30.
I 40 minutes into the movie and
589
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:52,700
he really only has like, three
long scenes and that's it.
590
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,100
And so, like by the 2/3 point
where Hannibal Lecter escapes
591
00:31:57,100 --> 00:32:00,900
from his cell and they really
shift hard into the Buffalo Bill
592
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:02,400
stuff.
I didn't find that.
593
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,600
Like as I don't know as
compelling as I wished it was
594
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,900
because it really did seem like
a hard left.
595
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:10,000
Turn into okay.
Now we're going to follow this
596
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,700
guy who we haven't really set up
very well.
597
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:15,400
And we haven't really given you
a lot to work with.
598
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,900
I don't know.
Did you guys have the same vibe?
599
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:20,900
You know, it's a balancing act
with those three characters and
600
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:22,400
of course this is based off a
book.
601
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,800
So the book Dives more into his
past but it's kind of like do
602
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,800
you try to flush out three
characters to the detriment of
603
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:33,500
them?
Not getting flushed out as much
604
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:37,700
or do you really flush out
Clarice and Hannibal and kind of
605
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:42,300
put bill on the back burner just
so you don't have an overstuffed
606
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:44,800
movie.
I bet there was you know,
607
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800
discussion discussion about
that.
608
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,100
But You know, through through
the Buffalo Bill stuff, we're
609
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:54,400
still with Clarice, at least
they're in the end and I think
610
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,300
it's more about the stories more
about her triumphed over that,
611
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:03,500
you know, being out in the field
with such a danger for the first
612
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:07,200
time then it is about Buffalo
Bill himself.
613
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Yeah, yeah.
I think one of the, the problems
614
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,300
with Buffalo Bill is a character
is the one specific moment where
615
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:19,500
it gives a close-up on his?
Oops, and he just says, multiple
616
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:22,300
times in a row.
Like would you f me?
617
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600
Like and he just kind of repeats
that over and over goes.
618
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:31,600
Yeah, yeah I would and I for me,
that was just this reduction of
619
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,200
him as like, oh, he's just a
sexual deviant.
620
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,000
Like you've been, you've been
given This brilliant mind of
621
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,700
Hannibal Lecter who just is
immaculate in the way he thinks
622
00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:49,800
about things and it just feels
like A bill is a crude cheap
623
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,100
imitation of Hannibal Lecter and
I don't know, maybe they were
624
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:57,600
trying to go for that but for me
then it kind of lessened, the
625
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,000
impact of of what you were going
for with Buffalo Bill as a
626
00:34:01,008 --> 00:34:02,000
serial killer.
Yeah.
627
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,400
Brad, I think that's that's a
good point.
628
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,100
And that's kind of giving voice
to what I was thinking too, and
629
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,800
I think that that Ted Levine who
plays Buffalo Bill is fantastic.
630
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,100
I think he really plays that
role.
631
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:14,000
Well, he brings a little bit of
nuance to that character.
632
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,300
That isn't really there on the
page, but you're right.
633
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,900
I think like especially setting
it up where you see Hannibal
634
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:25,199
escape and you know that this
criminal mastermind is out there
635
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,400
in the world somewhere that just
kind of cutting back to Buffalo
636
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,500
Bill and finding out like you
said that they're kind of just
637
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:36,300
reducing him to being a sexual
deviant like he never really had
638
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:41,300
the the threat of Hannibal.
Like I always felt more
639
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:45,199
threatened by Hannibal than I
did by Buffalo Bill and I do
640
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,300
think that like, if there is
something to nitpick with this,
641
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:49,000
It would be the way they handle
that.
642
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,699
Yeah I mean Hannibal as a threat
like I think the way you can sum
643
00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:57,500
him up as a threat is that at
the end of the movie you know,
644
00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:00,200
right before he delivers the you
know, one of the best ending
645
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,700
lines of all time.
He says, what I think to be, why
646
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:09,100
he is a threat and he says to
Clarisse oh don't worry, you
647
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:13,000
know, I am not going to call,
you know call a visit or pay a
648
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,600
visit to you.
The world is much more
649
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:21,100
interesting with you in it.
And the threat there is, if I
650
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:24,700
didn't think you were
interesting I could kill you
651
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
know, like no questions asked.
There's no way anybody could
652
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,100
stop me, but I think the world's
more interesting with you in it.
653
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:34,600
So I'll leave you be for now,
it's like this ultimate power
654
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,800
play.
That is just so calmly and
655
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,100
coolly delivered that yeah,
Buffalo.
656
00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:44,100
Bill just isn't really even a
threat compared to Hannibal
657
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:46,700
Lecter.
He's definitely more
658
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:49,900
two-dimensional and I think that
they try to get there.
659
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,400
Obviously, again, like Chad
said, it comes from the books,
660
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,800
but like, they bring up things
that allude to like, why is he,
661
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,300
the way he is, what kind of, you
know, he's going through some
662
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:03,900
sort of transformation.
Obviously, he's in some sort of
663
00:36:03,908 --> 00:36:06,800
stage of psychosis and like they
connect the transformative stuff
664
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,500
back to the moth and like the
Cocoon to the full-blown moth
665
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,600
and all that stuff.
But I agree, I think as somebody
666
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,800
who really likes to learn About
serial killers and why they do
667
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,500
what they do.
I do feel like they really
668
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:23,500
didn't deliver on connecting the
dots all the way around on on
669
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:28,500
him and like why is he so scary?
Because he is the headline
670
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,900
murderer of the movie.
Even though Hannibal's this
671
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:33,100
technically comes across the
scariest.
672
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:35,700
He's for the most part of the
movie.
673
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:40,200
He's in a prison cell locked up
in in someone else's control.
674
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,500
So we have this guy out there
running all the loose and yet
675
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,800
somehow he comes across as less
scary.
676
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:46,900
Yep.
I think it kind of makes sense
677
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,300
when you think about it, because
it's a more nuanced script that
678
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:55,200
way.
Like if Hannibal Lecter is the
679
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,500
boss battle, okay?
And Buffalo Bill, my language.
680
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:04,700
Yeah, Buffalo build is, you
know, just an end level Baddie,
681
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:09,600
Buffalo Bill can be defeated,
but Hannibal cannot.
682
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,600
So you know, it's kind of
scarier that way.
683
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,100
Like yeah, there's these
Psychopaths.
684
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:19,300
Out there who are just sexual
deviants, like you said, reduced
685
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:25,600
to something as simple as that.
And then there's the real,
686
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:31,100
intellects that are much scarier
because they are both a genius
687
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,200
and a killer that will not be
caught.
688
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,900
The cannot be caught.
Whether it's, you know, from
689
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:43,000
Clarice or anyone else of her
colleagues, I think that kind of
690
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,300
it makes it Less of,
everything's tied up in a nice
691
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:48,000
neat.
Bow.
692
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,700
At the end of the movie.
Yeah, you got the bad guy but
693
00:37:51,700 --> 00:37:53,700
you didn't get the big bad.
Yeah.
694
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,900
Yeah.
Wow guys.
695
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:58,800
I am so enjoying talking about
this movie.
696
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,300
We are like really deep into
talking about this movie at this
697
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:05,300
point.
I don't want to press pause, but
698
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:06,900
we do need to get to our whiskey
for the day.
699
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:09,300
So what do you all say?
We tried this old tub.
700
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,300
Let's do it.
Do I have to drink out of a tub?
701
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:48,700
Not not today.
All right, so today we are
702
00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:51,900
checking out old tub.
Now, this is a bottled in bond
703
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:55,000
bourbon that comes from the Jim
Beam company Brad.
704
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,500
This has a really interesting
backstory, I will spare everyone
705
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,900
the Gory details of the rich
history of this hundred proof
706
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:06,600
bourbon, but for a long time,
they were only selling this as
707
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,200
kind of like a touristy visitor,
special thing, you can only get
708
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,500
it at one of their distilleries.
It was the one in Clermont
709
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:14,500
Kentucky.
And so if you wanted, you could
710
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,400
buy a pint of old tub for like
20 bucks.
711
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,100
X.
And when you and I went to
712
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,700
Kentucky, a couple years ago, I
really wanted to get up there
713
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:23,500
and try this old tub.
I'd heard really good things
714
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:25,200
about it, for being kind of a
budget.
715
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,700
Bargain whiskey, we didn't get a
chance to and then all the
716
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:32,600
sudden, they decided we're going
to take this brand National and
717
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,200
so they have, you know gone are
they have upgraded from having
718
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,000
just pints of it to offering
them in a fifth.
719
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,700
It is still an incredibly
affordable bourbon.
720
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,100
We'll get into what we think of
the price on this.
721
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:49,100
And if it's worth buying Brad,
You heard of old tub before we
722
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:52,600
worked it into the show here?
No, nice.
723
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,400
There it is.
No.
724
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,300
But Bob, I had not heard of old
tub before.
725
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:01,100
And honestly, there was part of
me that was like, man, you just,
726
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:04,800
you hear certain names of
Whiskey's and you're like, oh,
727
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,500
that's going to be a cheap
whiskey, isn't it?
728
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,700
When you hear the name old tub?
You don't necessarily think like
729
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,300
yes, this is a Glenmore geoduck,
right?
730
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,100
Great.
But, but at the same time, Brad
731
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:21,600
you And I are huge fans of
getting a whiskey for a steal
732
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,000
and I think this really could
qualify depending on what we
733
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,700
think of it.
Now again, coming from Jim Beam.
734
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:30,600
It is said to have that
signature Jim Beam kind of
735
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,500
nuttiness that you get on the
nose and on the taste you know
736
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,800
we have that Brad when we looked
at not Creek.
737
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,000
When we looked at you know
Booker's they all really have
738
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
that sort of signature Jim Beam
flavor profile.
739
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,900
So as all of us get into the
nose here.
740
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,100
What are some of the notes that
you're picking Brad is that
741
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:51,500
nuttiness coming out for you
know, really?
742
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,300
Really.
Yeah, it's like jumping out of
743
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,300
it is for me.
No judgment but you're wrong.
744
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:59,300
Yeah 100% right, I'm sorry.
Tell him, just kidding.
745
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:01,600
Tell him what we have for him.
It's a lovely Parting Gift,
746
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,700
right.
Ya know for me I come to the
747
00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:08,600
nose and it's a little bit
potent.
748
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:10,800
I feel like it hits me a little
strong.
749
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,500
I try to blow out some of that
alcohol and it's just lingering
750
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,400
for me.
I get I get some nice vanilla.
751
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:22,200
Nila some Oak little bit of corn
but I'm not hitting a ton of
752
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,000
nuttiness.
It's not coming out for me for
753
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,600
me, the nose here.
It's not enough of something to
754
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,800
make me like it so I'm going to
give it a 5 out of 10 on the
755
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,400
new.
Wow.
756
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,300
Yeah.
Brett, I'm having a completely
757
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:39,500
different experience and I know
for a fact we're drinking the
758
00:41:39,508 --> 00:41:41,900
same whiskey because I gave you
a sample out of my bottle of
759
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:44,500
this.
And for me this is all just
760
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:48,800
peanuts and like, really waxy
kind of nuts like Like cashews.
761
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:51,500
There is like you said, there's
some Oak here.
762
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:54,100
I don't get a lot of Oak Char,
it's kind of like a younger
763
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,200
would smell to me and you're
right.
764
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,800
Like, it's a little bit
aggressive on the nose, there's
765
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,200
definitely some alcohol present.
But at 100 proof, I would expect
766
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,700
that I really dig this, this
nosing profile here.
767
00:42:05,700 --> 00:42:07,800
I'm actually going to give this
an 8 out of 10 now.
768
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,200
Are you guys drinking out of the
same type of glass?
769
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:13,100
I'm, yeah, I'm drinking out of a
glen care and I believe Brad is
770
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:14,800
too.
Yep.
771
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:19,200
So mine's been sitting out for a
bit, so I might be having a
772
00:42:19,207 --> 00:42:22,700
different experience than you,
but I kind of having more of
773
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:25,700
Bob's experience.
I'm getting like nuttiness on
774
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:29,400
the nose but for me it's more
pecans and I'm getting like,
775
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,900
salted, caramel and pecans,
which I find that sounds
776
00:42:32,900 --> 00:42:37,200
delicious to me right now.
Yeah, I get what you're saying,
777
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,700
there's more, you know, but of
alcohol coming through.
778
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:42,900
But I think for the price and
the proof that is also to be
779
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:46,300
expected.
But for me, it screams Jim Beam,
780
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,200
sure and I was, I was kind of
getting, you know, sort of some
781
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,300
powerful ethanol on it when I
was first really nosing it.
782
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:59,800
So what I did is I just blew
into my glass, it's kind of did
783
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,100
that sound effects and then I
went back and it's it's not it's
784
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:05,600
not as hard as she more if you
do that.
785
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,500
And actually after I did that, I
kind of got some popcorn.
786
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:10,700
So I think it is that going to
you're talking about but
787
00:43:10,700 --> 00:43:14,400
specifically like buttered
popcorn along with The nuttiness
788
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,400
that's obviously there.
I kind of feel like those are
789
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,300
almost Givens on on a Jim Beam.
But yeah, caramel corn.
790
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:24,000
What do you think out of 10?
I gave it.
791
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,500
I mean, it's yeah, I gave it a
7.
792
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:31,400
I can be seven, it is good but
you know I've we've also smelled
793
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,000
some exceptional stuff, right?
Yeah, you know if I'm thinking
794
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,300
of all of all time it is it's
smells nice that yeah yeah.
795
00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:41,500
I think that caramel is coming
across from me a little bit more
796
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:43,700
as like a Coca-Cola kind of nose
and eye.
797
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:47,600
I like that: note as well.
So you both went seven on this.
798
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:52,000
Brad went five, I went eight.
Alright, so we have our first
799
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,600
score here and that means that
it's time for us to taste it.
800
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,700
So let's all give it a sip and
Brad, I'm sure that you've
801
00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,400
already been sipping on it and
ready to just eviscerate it
802
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,500
based on your nose score.
So what do you picking up here
803
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:04,900
on the taste?
Honestly, it's not as bad on the
804
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:07,100
palate as it is on the nose for
me.
805
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,100
There's a decent bit of vanilla
coming through for me.
806
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:12,400
That, that hit me on the aroma
here.
807
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,700
I get a little bit more of that.
Caramel a little more buttery,
808
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:21,100
smooth of a flavor profile.
Then I had on the nose, it's
809
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:25,200
still not popping for me or like
overwhelming me, but I'm going
810
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,200
to bump my score up a little
bit.
811
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,400
I'll give it a six and a half.
I'm getting a little bit of that
812
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,200
nuttiness that I was getting on
the nose.
813
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,100
I still think for me, it's in
like a lighter nuttiness like a
814
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:37,400
pecan, maybe like a walnut or
something like that.
815
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:42,800
But now that coming off of our
you know knows notes, I actually
816
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,900
get the cola That you mentioned
and it's almost like a and I
817
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:48,300
don't really drink soda that
much.
818
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:50,800
So for me, it's reminding me of
something, like, a chocolaty
819
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,000
vanilla Cola, or like at the
bottom of a root beer float, or
820
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,900
something like that, with some
of those Okie notes to.
821
00:44:57,900 --> 00:45:02,200
Yeah, I I'm glad you said root
beer Sarah because with this
822
00:45:02,207 --> 00:45:05,400
whole, when the whole Cola
discussion got brought up Bob, I
823
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,800
was kind of like, yeah, okay, I
can.
824
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,400
And then it kind of went in that
area almost like a root beer
825
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,600
float because there is that
vanilla in there.
826
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:17,900
So I'm kind of Like when a root
beer float, kind of Frost's, and
827
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:21,700
you just sort of before you get
to the real Cola part, you kind
828
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:24,800
of drink that froth, that's sort
of what I'm getting for the
829
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,600
nuttiness it's sort of like for
me it's a cross between like a
830
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,600
salted peanut and dry pecan.
Hmm, But I am getting the right
831
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,400
Spice in there.
The butter popcorn caramel and a
832
00:45:34,408 --> 00:45:36,300
little bit of brittle sort of in
them.
833
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:38,300
Chad, wow.
Yeah, which is, you know, pretty
834
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,500
pretty just the movies.
Yeah, let's all go.
835
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,800
Hobbies, it's all good.
I don't know about the rest of
836
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,200
you but I'm picking up almost
all the notes that you're
837
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,400
talking about here, but I also
wouldn't really classify this as
838
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,300
an overly sweet bourbon.
Like a all, the notes were
839
00:45:56,300 --> 00:46:00,000
talking about our sweet things
but disliked the lingering notes
840
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,400
for me on this, I think this is
really alcohol forward and mean,
841
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,800
it isn't a hundred proof and
Brad and I have talked before
842
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,500
about how sometimes things in
this kind of hundred. 210 prove
843
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:15,000
range, the alcohol can seem more
harsh than than a barrel proof
844
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,800
for some reason.
And I really do think the
845
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,300
alcohol is front and center
here.
846
00:46:18,300 --> 00:46:20,300
And the oak is really front and
center here.
847
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,900
I get a lot of that kind of like
Sarah.
848
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:24,700
You talked about chocolate a
little bit too.
849
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,500
I do get some kind of dark
chocolate notes on this as well.
850
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,900
And you know it does have your
classic bourbon profile.
851
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,200
But again like I don't think
that it tips into like,
852
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,400
lingering sweetness on the
palate.
853
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,000
I'm only going to give this one
like a six and a half on the
854
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,400
palate.
Same shock.
855
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,500
Oh man, are we all in a
six-and-a-half?
856
00:46:44,500 --> 00:46:47,500
No, I'm at a seven and a half
how big?
857
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:51,600
I think I know.
And I might be kind of unfairly
858
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,300
rating.
It knowing what the prices and
859
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:55,600
yeah, that.
Yeah.
860
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,000
But I gave it a 7 half.
I think for a and I'm kind of
861
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,500
comparing it to other bottled
and bonds and its price range,
862
00:47:02,500 --> 00:47:04,000
which I probably am.
Italy.
863
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,700
Shouldn't be doing.
But I'm kind of thinking of the
864
00:47:06,707 --> 00:47:09,900
Evan Williams bald and bond.
I'm thinking of jts brown, I'm
865
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:16,600
thinking Of JW dant and but
except maybe everybody's bought
866
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,800
in a bond.
I think it's kind of going above
867
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,300
those other guys.
So I don't know, I think for,
868
00:47:22,500 --> 00:47:26,600
for an ancho filtered bi bi it's
got a taste of a 7.5 for me and
869
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,500
that rhymed uh well so here's
the thing, chat on the nose, we
870
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,000
judged it.
Based on what's the 10/10?
871
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,100
The best thing we've ever known.
I know that's why I bet on the
872
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:40,000
taste your leg well compared to
other bottom and I don't
873
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,900
disagree.
With you if we this was just
874
00:47:41,900 --> 00:47:43,700
mine site compared to other
bottle to Mom's, I would have
875
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:47,500
also given this higher score but
I thought we were doing just in
876
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:49,200
general.
Well we are tell you what I'm
877
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,200
going to take it down to seven
even good.
878
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,000
Seven look what I've done was it
we are wildly inconsistent in
879
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000
how we scored things because oh
yeah.
880
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,100
Because like we always say that
we're trying to be objective and
881
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:03,300
like you said Sarah like based
on the best we've ever had but
882
00:48:03,300 --> 00:48:06,400
it is impossible to not keep the
price tag in mind when you're
883
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,200
drinking something that's on the
cheaper end of the spectrum and
884
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,500
so weird because A 25-dollar
whisky isn't supposed to taste
885
00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:15,000
like a 200 dollar whiskey.
Like, they're not supposed to be
886
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,800
comparable.
Yeah.
887
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,500
So as I think it's fair.
Exactly.
888
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:22,500
And that takes us from our taste
scores into our finished scores,
889
00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:24,200
I guess, I'll just go first real
quick.
890
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,100
I don't think this has like, an
overwhelmingly great finish.
891
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,000
Its pleasant, it doesn't burn
too badly, the Kentucky hug on.
892
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,800
This is not like, it doesn't
Scorch your esophagus on the way
893
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,700
down, but it definitely is
warming.
894
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:39,900
It's not it's not a dry finish
it.
895
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,000
Mouth-watering.
But still again like the
896
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,400
predominant flavor that's left
on my palate, is the oak.
897
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,400
So if you're into something like
that, it's not super short.
898
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,100
It's a little bit lingering, you
know, again given the price.
899
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,700
I'm going to give it again a six
and a half out of ten on the
900
00:48:55,700 --> 00:48:58,200
finish.
I'm 100% on the same page as you
901
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,700
but I think I'm going to go a 6
out of 10.
902
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,000
Yeah, sir I'm actually right
there with you.
903
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,800
I think that this has like you
said, Bob, it's got that
904
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,200
oakiness I get a little bit of
spice as it starts.
905
00:49:10,300 --> 00:49:15,200
It's moving down the throat and
I will, I will admit.
906
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:20,000
I will fully admit the last like
breath that I had of this
907
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,400
bourbon.
I was kind of like, oh I was a
908
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:30,000
little bit like peanut butter is
there, but that was the only
909
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,700
hint of nuttiness I had
throughout the entire
910
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:33,400
experience.
I'll give it a six out of ten on
911
00:49:33,408 --> 00:49:36,200
the Finish.
It's decent but it's not blowing
912
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,600
me away.
Okay, I actually think just a A
913
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,700
little bit with you.
I think it's a tad dry, but I am
914
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:49,500
getting some rice spice on the
back end and it's almost a
915
00:49:49,508 --> 00:49:52,100
little tart or something.
There's something.
916
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:58,300
There's some little yeah, under
defined, something rather and
917
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:00,800
I'm not really getting a hug on
this one for 100 proof or I'm
918
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,700
not getting a Kentucky hug which
should I feel like it should be
919
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:05,500
there?
I want it to be there.
920
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:08,200
Anyway I always wanted to be
there so I'm also giving it a
921
00:50:08,207 --> 00:50:10,500
six out of ten.
I think that note that you're
922
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:14,700
picking up is the tub.
Yeah, that's what it is.
923
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,500
Old grimy tub that has funk.
That's right.
924
00:50:19,300 --> 00:50:21,600
All right, so that takes us into
our balance score.
925
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,900
Now, the way we Define balance
here on the podcast is, take
926
00:50:24,900 --> 00:50:28,400
your nose taste and finish
experiences and consider them as
927
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,400
one cohesive whole.
It doesn't necessarily mean
928
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,700
that, you know what, you picked
up in the nose had to be there
929
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:37,200
in the taste in the Finish but
we're looking more at was there
930
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,500
a peak and then like a huge
Valley or Is it one nice
931
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:44,700
drinking experience throughout
so knowing that Brad where would
932
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:46,100
you put this on the balance
score?
933
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,900
I think I'd give it a seven like
its overall, pretty well
934
00:50:49,900 --> 00:50:52,500
balanced whiskey.
You what?
935
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:56,000
I got on the aroma was a little
softer than what I ended up
936
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000
tasting and finishing with.
But overall it's it's decent,
937
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,600
it's solid.
I think that you can tell that
938
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,900
this is a high quality budget
bourbon.
939
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:08,600
Does that make sense?
Absolutely.
940
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,700
I think it does kind of hate
using the word smooth because
941
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:16,800
really what does that mean?
But I think it drinks a little
942
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:23,200
smoother than the nose gives off
but I think altogether knows the
943
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,600
palate, the finish.
I think it's pretty cohesive,
944
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,700
nothing's really jutting out.
I would say, maybe the Finish
945
00:51:31,100 --> 00:51:33,000
might be the thing.
That's lacking just a little
946
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,500
bit, but I would also give it
about a seven for me.
947
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:41,700
I agree that the Finish It
definitely wasn't where I hoped
948
00:51:41,700 --> 00:51:45,600
it would be based on the palate,
but I thought that the nose was
949
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,900
not a huge departure, but I was
really looking forward to
950
00:51:49,900 --> 00:51:51,900
something.
From all the notes that I got on
951
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:54,900
the nose that I don't feel like
is what it necessarily delivered
952
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:57,300
on on the palette.
There was a lot of overlap there
953
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:58,800
but it wasn't.
I don't know.
954
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,000
I think I was my expectations
weren't exactly met and then to
955
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,300
end what that finish, that that
was a little lackluster.
956
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:09,000
Made me give it a six point five
on the balance.
957
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,800
However, Again for the price.
I do think that it delivers I
958
00:52:13,808 --> 00:52:16,400
mean it's an enjoyable
experience, it's not all over
959
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:17,600
the place.
Yeah.
960
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,200
I'm right there with you guys.
This is, you know, it's
961
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,500
enjoyable, it's not knocking my
socks off in any way.
962
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,700
And, you know, again we were
talking about Jim Beam products.
963
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:29,800
I think that if we were
comparing this to Knob Creek at
964
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,800
100 proof, I would choose Knob
Creek over this probably any day
965
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,400
of the week.
But again, that's kind of a
966
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,200
little bit, comparing apples to
oranges because of the
967
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,100
significant price Difference
between this and Knob Creek, so
968
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:46,600
yeah, I'll give it a 7 out of 10
on the overall balance and that
969
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,800
is going to take us to our value
score.
970
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,100
This is the final score that we
do.
971
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:54,400
We do consider value in our
reviews here and me, if you're
972
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,300
only interested in the actual
tasting experience, you can look
973
00:52:58,300 --> 00:53:01,700
at our first four categories,
but we want to keep the, you
974
00:53:01,700 --> 00:53:05,700
know, the average everyday
consumer in mind and look at,
975
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:07,500
where does this stand at the
price point?
976
00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:10,300
That it's at?
Is it overpriced It underpriced
977
00:53:10,300 --> 00:53:13,800
is a huge bargain.
And Brad, I picked this up when
978
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:19,100
it was still only available in.
Kentucky, for $20.99 it has
979
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,900
since expanded Nationwide, I
think in the state of Ohio is
980
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:27,300
currently retailing at 2199 for
the price, this one's pretty
981
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:29,500
hard to beat.
Like, Chad was talking about,
982
00:53:29,500 --> 00:53:32,300
you know, really the only thing
at its price point.
983
00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:36,700
That's available Nationwide.
Is that Evan Williams bottled in
984
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:39,900
bond, which retails for about 18
bucks, and I think this is
985
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:42,400
really comparable to that.
I'm going to go ahead and give
986
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,800
this an eight and a half on
value.
987
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:50,000
Yeah, that's what I gave it to.
And the reason why two is
988
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,100
because when I know that Wild
Turkey 101 is out there for a
989
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:56,400
couple bucks less.
I'm like, well you're almost
990
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,800
there you're almost at the top
of the value but not are quite
991
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,200
personally.
That's just a reliable poor for
992
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,700
me.
And if I can spend a little bit
993
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:06,400
less money on it, then that's
what I'll do.
994
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,100
Yeah.
You know, the wild turkey.
995
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,400
Benchmark hate using that
because that's the name of
996
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,200
another bourbon the wild turkey.
It really draws a Line in the
997
00:54:17,207 --> 00:54:20,700
Sand Yellow Line in the Sand,
the pole, I don't know the limbo
998
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:22,300
pole.
I don't know the far that it
999
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:25,100
sets.
Yes, the bar is definitely a
1000
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:28,700
good one and then, you know, you
brought up Knob Creek and I
1001
00:54:28,700 --> 00:54:31,300
can't believe I wasn't thinking
about that Knob Creek, 100 Proof
1002
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,500
in our area is only $25, right?
So just a couple bucks, more $3
1003
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:39,200
more, I would definitely get
Knob Creek, 100 Proof small.
1004
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,500
Patch.
I think it's developed a bit
1005
00:54:40,500 --> 00:54:42,600
more character.
Yeah, one a little bit more
1006
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,900
depth for sure.
So I think that kind of dings it
1007
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,100
but for what it is, I still gave
it.
1008
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:52,000
I gave it an eight.
Yeah, I'm sitting at a seven and
1009
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,700
a half.
I like you guys have said it
1010
00:54:54,700 --> 00:54:58,600
all, it's a solid budget
bourbon.
1011
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,700
Like it's not the most massively
flavorful or complex whiskey.
1012
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:05,400
You're going to have.
But for twenty to twenty five
1013
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,100
dollars, you know, depending on
where you're getting it, this is
1014
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:11,300
a really solid whiskey.
It's a good pick up and I think
1015
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:13,700
it's something that you can
easily pull out on.
1016
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,100
You know, if you're having a
bourbon night with some friends,
1017
00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:19,500
or if you're like Chad and
you're having a cute girl over
1018
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:21,500
that you're interested in.
Oh yeah.
1019
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:22,900
Well, let's just have a bourbon
night.
1020
00:55:22,900 --> 00:55:25,700
All pull out a few Bourbons.
Wait, I think that's being cute
1021
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:28,300
girls over.
I told you guys that in
1022
00:55:28,308 --> 00:55:30,400
confidence.
No, man.
1023
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,000
Well that is a bin.
It's bourbon night.
1024
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,500
This is their final public
showing.
1025
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:41,600
Yeah, this is you know you guys
got a got a scoop Oh man.
1026
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,900
But yeah that's that's bringing
me to a 31.5 out of 50.
1027
00:55:46,100 --> 00:55:48,200
What's the total coming out to
for you guys?
1028
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:50,400
Brad, I'm actually a little bit
higher than you.
1029
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,900
I'm coming out to a 36 point
five which means that our
1030
00:55:53,900 --> 00:55:58,800
overall score put together is a
68 out of 100 or a 34 out of 50
1031
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:01,400
typically, where we fall on this
is that if something hits, the
1032
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,500
35, Mark will recommend buying a
bottle.
1033
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,200
I actually would still recommend
buying a bottle because it's $21
1034
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,500
like, it's Even if you don't
really care for it or if you
1035
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:14,500
think it's just like we do a
solid poor but nothing to write
1036
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:17,300
home about you're only investing
20 bucks in this.
1037
00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:19,600
I definitely think it's worth
buying a bottle.
1038
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,900
I actually would not recommend
getting a poor.
1039
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,900
You know, sometimes we say like
okay, if you don't wanna get a
1040
00:56:23,908 --> 00:56:25,400
bottle, go ahead and get a poor
at a bar.
1041
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:28,300
You're going to spend so much on
getting, you know, a one-ounce
1042
00:56:28,300 --> 00:56:31,300
sample of this that you might as
well just go ahead and go whole
1043
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:33,700
hog and get it.
Get the the bottle here.
1044
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,500
So that's where we're coming
out.
1045
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:37,100
Chad and Sarah.
Where are you guys on this one?
1046
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,600
I give it a .5, which I feel
like should just be rounded up
1047
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,200
to a 35 because I would
recommend for all the reasons
1048
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,100
that you've said that to go out
and get a bottle of this.
1049
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,400
Yeah.
And I was at a 35 35 out of 50.
1050
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,800
So, yeah, right there on the
cusp and yeah, like you said, a
1051
00:56:53,808 --> 00:56:56,800
porter bar would probably be
five to six dollars, which is a
1052
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,000
fourth, of the bottle, right?
Yeah, right.
1053
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:06,000
They also sell a 375 for $15,
which is all so ridiculous, just
1054
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:11,600
by the door full 750 Absolutely,
yeah, honestly these are the
1055
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:16,400
types of Whiskey's that bars
make just make Bank off of.
1056
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:21,600
So go buy yourself a bottle
guys, I am just so thankful to
1057
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,300
have more whiskey experts on the
show.
1058
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,500
I think it enlightens Bob and I
on just better ways of nosing
1059
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:30,500
and thinking through whiskey.
So thank you guys so much for
1060
00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:33,000
sharing your expertise here.
Well thanks for inviting us to
1061
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,700
share our pleasure.
Yeah, well let's let's jump back
1062
00:57:36,700 --> 00:57:39,200
in and finish our thoughts on
this.
1063
00:57:39,300 --> 00:57:42,800
It's just classic of a thriller
Silence of the Lambs.
1064
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,500
Alright, so that was old tub of
whiskey that we all recommend,
1065
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:31,400
especially at the price point,
and we are getting back into
1066
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,300
talking about The Silence of the
Lambs, Brad.
1067
00:58:34,300 --> 00:58:37,700
Again, this is a Best Picture
Winner, you know, I've gone back
1068
00:58:37,700 --> 00:58:40,200
and forth on my overall Thoughts
with this movie.
1069
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,300
I've always thought that this
was a very well-made movie and a
1070
00:58:43,300 --> 00:58:46,300
very good movie.
But there's just always been
1071
00:58:46,300 --> 00:58:49,800
something that kept me from
thinking it was a great movie.
1072
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:52,200
And I'm trying to parse out, is
it?
1073
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:57,000
Just because this movie changed
The landscape of the serial
1074
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,200
killer movie forever.
And that we've just had 30 years
1075
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,200
of copycats, because I really do
think that even when you watch
1076
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,400
like Criminal Minds are things
on TV.
1077
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,000
Now, they resemble the Silence
of the Lambs so much that I
1078
00:59:10,008 --> 00:59:12,900
think, maybe it's just that,
we're 30 years removed now.
1079
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:15,300
And the shock value has kind of
lost.
1080
00:59:15,300 --> 00:59:18,200
Its Effectiveness, I don't know.
What do you guys think of that?
1081
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,000
Is it, is it a movie that it has
aged poorly or have we just seen
1082
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,100
so many copycats of this that it
may not just Hold up as well as
1083
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:29,700
we would like it to.
I think that you're right there.
1084
00:59:30,300 --> 00:59:34,400
I think we've seen so much in
this vein over the past 20 years
1085
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,900
or it cost 30 years almost since
this was made.
1086
00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:43,000
Wow that it feels almost like
it's not going far enough which
1087
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,700
is weird to think about because
it's like what else do we want
1088
00:59:45,700 --> 00:59:46,500
to see?
Right.
1089
00:59:47,500 --> 00:59:49,400
But I think we got into that a
bit when we were talking about
1090
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,800
wanting to see Bill go further
like I think in 1991 when this
1091
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,700
movie came out that this Was
enough.
1092
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:59,200
And this was terrifying enough.
And I'm sure it's probably like
1093
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,900
a product of the internet,
right?
1094
01:00:00,900 --> 01:00:03,600
And, and serial killer
miniseries.
1095
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,900
That we feel like now
re-watching this again.
1096
01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:10,000
And I've seen this so many times
that it, it feels a little safe.
1097
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,300
Yeah, but I still yeah, it's an
I watched it over and over
1098
01:00:13,300 --> 01:00:14,600
again.
I definitely think it's a great
1099
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,100
film in a weird sense.
This film is still very shocking
1100
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:21,500
and it's very violent and you
see things that you really can't
1101
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:23,500
unsee.
And yet there is still an
1102
01:00:23,500 --> 01:00:26,500
element of it.
That feels kind of Like quaint.
1103
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,600
I don't know if there's another
word I can use for that, but I
1104
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,100
think because it's just like a
police procedural and you're
1105
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:35,800
following this FBI agent, it
never really made me think.
1106
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,700
Oh, this is a horror movie.
It was always more of like,
1107
01:00:38,700 --> 01:00:40,400
okay, I would call it a
thriller.
1108
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,800
I'd call it like, Brad has been
calling it a psychological
1109
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:47,200
Thriller, but I don't know that
I was ever actually terrified
1110
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,700
watching this movie, I think.
And I'm going to try to
1111
01:00:50,700 --> 01:00:53,000
articulate this the best way
that I can, but I think there's
1112
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,700
like two parts of this.
This and how I'm thinking about
1113
01:00:56,700 --> 01:01:00,600
it and that one, it's a movie
about the uncomfortableness and
1114
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,900
the terror that women can
experience at the hands of men,
1115
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:09,300
which is not a new like again.
Like we were just talking about
1116
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:13,600
it's not new subject matter.
We see stuff like that in here.
1117
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,900
Stuff like that all the time.
I think what is kind of
1118
01:01:16,900 --> 01:01:19,300
groundbreaking and stuck with
the movie, is the way in, which
1119
01:01:19,300 --> 01:01:22,700
they communicate that visually.
And through sound through that,
1120
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:25,600
eye contact that we were talking
about before like those Ways
1121
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,800
that you can't even register,
sometimes that make it feel,
1122
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,600
unsettling that again for the
same reason, so, you know, the
1123
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,800
male gaze that they're using
that to make you feel
1124
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,100
uncomfortable.
And so that's what's really
1125
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:40,100
sticking with me as to why I
think I find that it does hold
1126
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:43,800
up.
Hmm, I kind of like what they
1127
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:48,400
are, how they are making people
feel uncomfortable with with
1128
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,500
the, you know, straight to
camera.
1129
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:52,800
And those type of things where
if you're thinking about, I know
1130
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,300
this isn't a horror movie.
But, you know, We said it could
1131
01:01:56,300 --> 01:01:59,800
kind of be classified that way.
Like today, it's always that
1132
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,600
really unsettling note on the
violin that just plays like that
1133
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,000
single room.
You don't know things like that.
1134
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:11,700
Where I appreciate those things
that have become tropes.
1135
01:02:13,300 --> 01:02:17,900
I don't think it really anything
from this movie besides sort of
1136
01:02:17,900 --> 01:02:24,700
the story beats or the format.
Nothing really anything that
1137
01:02:24,700 --> 01:02:26,900
they do.
It didn't become a Trope, like
1138
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,800
they didn't have a bullet time.
You know, where the Matrix it is
1139
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,700
revolutionary and then everyone
did it and then it became a
1140
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:38,900
tired Trope, nothing for a this
movie kind of suffered because
1141
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:41,200
of that it's hard.
That's kind of what I was saying
1142
01:02:41,300 --> 01:02:42,800
like.
Yeah, okay, and the plot and
1143
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:47,400
things like that and it's very
much, you know, run-of-the-mill
1144
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:48,300
now.
Yes.
1145
01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:51,700
But I think the way in which
they went about communicating it
1146
01:02:51,700 --> 01:02:54,900
is what really stood the test of
time, okay.
1147
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,800
Okay.
And and isn't something that you
1148
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,500
see a lot of now and nothing
became.
1149
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:03,900
You know, nothing took me out of
the movie because of the Year
1150
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:07,000
there was filmed except oh well,
she would just use her cell
1151
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,400
phone at this point.
But, you know, there's so many
1152
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,100
movies that you could say that
to, like she could just call her
1153
01:03:11,100 --> 01:03:14,300
boss on her cell phone, she had
a cellphone but it's 1991 and
1154
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:16,200
yeah, right?
So that really didn't bother me,
1155
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,100
but it doesn't have a whole
whole lot of re-watch value for
1156
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:24,500
me just because I see, I love,
oh, yes, sir, every watches it
1157
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:28,200
For me, there's always more
notes you could take to learn,
1158
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:30,600
but I was just kind of thinking
when you guys are talking like
1159
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,200
it almost like you want it to
push more.
1160
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,200
Now, it's like it's okay.
It's not seven.
1161
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:42,500
I think seven is kind of like
the new Silence of the Lambs for
1162
01:03:42,500 --> 01:03:45,200
its time, sort of type of thing.
Okay, let's show more.
1163
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,900
Let's get a little bit more
graphic, but the one thing that
1164
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:54,400
I can't really forget about this
movie is when Hannibal Lecter
1165
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:59,300
takes It's the guards baton when
he's in the cell.
1166
01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:00,000
Yeah.
Yeah.
1167
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:04,100
He just whacking them with that.
Look on his face.
1168
01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:07,700
Like, he could have been making
a cake or something, just so
1169
01:04:07,700 --> 01:04:11,100
mundane the look on his face
when and the blood is
1170
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:15,000
splattering up on his white
T-shirt and on his face that
1171
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:19,500
like so much of this movie in
its Terror and it's uneasiness
1172
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,100
comes, from not, just the camera
work, but from Anthony Hopkins,
1173
01:04:23,100 --> 01:04:25,400
performance.
I feel like I think this In that
1174
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,500
sticks with me is when Clarice
is feeling around in the dark,
1175
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:30,800
and Buffalo, Bill has the night
vision goggles on like, I'm
1176
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,900
pretty sure that's the reason
why as an adult, I'm
1177
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:34,400
occasionally still afraid of the
dark.
1178
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,300
Yes, because who knows if
there's a Buffalo Bill,
1179
01:04:37,300 --> 01:04:39,000
someone's got.
What's that lesson?
1180
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,600
That we learned always carry
night vision goggles in your
1181
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,100
purse or flashlight, right?
Or that what do you guys think?
1182
01:04:45,500 --> 01:04:46,900
Well Brad.
I was going to ask you about
1183
01:04:46,900 --> 01:04:49,400
this too because, you know,
we've all watched this movie
1184
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,600
before except for you and we're
talking about it's re-watch
1185
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,700
value.
And so, maybe the best way to
1186
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:58,200
talk about that is To give out
your Brad G award for this
1187
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,200
movie.
So having come into it for the
1188
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,800
first time, what stuck out to
you in this movie?
1189
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,200
And what award would you give
the Silence of the Lambs?
1190
01:05:06,900 --> 01:05:10,400
Well, I feel like there's
there's a number of different
1191
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,900
awards that you could give it.
I'm actually gonna draw in on
1192
01:05:13,900 --> 01:05:18,600
the title of the movie and say
that this film receives the
1193
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:23,400
award for the most terrifying,
story of childhood I have ever
1194
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,800
heard in my life.
Hey, is the idea of losing your
1195
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:31,100
mother as a what she portrayed
as like, a baby or infant or
1196
01:05:31,100 --> 01:05:34,900
toddler and then losing your
father when you're 10 and then
1197
01:05:34,900 --> 01:05:41,100
going to a ranch in Montana and
listening to Lambs scream as
1198
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:44,000
they get slaughtered.
What did you do?
1199
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:53,200
Downstairs outside.
I crept up into the mornings.
1200
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,700
I'm so scared to look inside my
head.
1201
01:05:58,700 --> 01:06:01,500
What did you see?
Clarys, what did you see?
1202
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,800
Wow.
I was screaming.
1203
01:06:08,100 --> 01:06:10,500
They were slaughtering the
spring Lambs.
1204
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:16,100
They were screaming.
That is like one of the most
1205
01:06:16,100 --> 01:06:19,700
horrifying traumatizing
childhood experiences I've ever
1206
01:06:19,700 --> 01:06:21,400
seen.
And I don't know if there's any
1207
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,500
movie that we can really top
that story.
1208
01:06:23,900 --> 01:06:25,500
Yeah, that's, I mean, that's a
good point.
1209
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,700
I think it's crazy how they
connected back to like, what
1210
01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:30,100
she's doing now, right?
She's hunting, a serial killer
1211
01:06:30,100 --> 01:06:32,100
who's murdering innocent women,
right?
1212
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:35,800
Absolutely, Mmm.
Yeah, but as I was listening to
1213
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,500
you guys talk, I had a few
different thoughts, the mundane
1214
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:44,600
way that he looks at killing the
guard with the, the Baton Is
1215
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,000
like counter imposed with the
intensity and the interest that
1216
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,600
he looks at Clarisse with right.
Like it is human beings that he
1217
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,700
finds interesting, not the whole
mundane nature of killing people
1218
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,100
and I just I love that
juxtaposition and then when you
1219
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:05,700
guys were talking about it as
like a crime procedural, I think
1220
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:10,600
the thing for me that makes this
movie Stand Out and and really
1221
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:14,000
rise above all of the copycats
that came after it.
1222
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:20,000
Is that you can tell that Demi
is not using anything extraneous
1223
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,800
to the movie.
And he's not like pushing his
1224
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,800
way into anything that is
familiar.
1225
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,300
And the two things that really
stick stuck out to me, were her
1226
01:07:28,300 --> 01:07:33,100
best friend and an opening scene
that might feel meaningless.
1227
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:38,400
But she's training as an FBI
agent and she gets fake killed
1228
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:39,900
because she doesn't check the
corner.
1229
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:42,800
Right.
And what I loved about the movie
1230
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:47,000
is that it didn't Fall into this
like best friend giving advice
1231
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,500
Trope like her friend in the
academy is just there for a few
1232
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:55,700
small moments and we don't have
her for anything more than what
1233
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:57,200
we need.
Like, I feel like a lesser
1234
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:01,100
director easily could have had a
6-minute scene where she's
1235
01:08:01,100 --> 01:08:04,500
conversing with her friend and
like hashing out the details of
1236
01:08:04,500 --> 01:08:08,200
the case and it would have taken
forever and Sloan the movie down
1237
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:12,300
and that would have happened in
like a 43 minute TV episode.
1238
01:08:12,500 --> 01:08:15,600
And the second thing was, when
she's Going down the stairs into
1239
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,200
Buffalo Bill's house.
My immediate thought was, I hope
1240
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,500
she's not going to check the
corner because that's just.
1241
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:24,500
Yeah, because that's just what
directors and movies.
1242
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:28,000
Do they set you up for checking
the corner quote-unquote?
1243
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,200
And then the character like does
it and it's heroic or they don't
1244
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,899
do it and they fail because of
it and then they didn't do that
1245
01:08:33,899 --> 01:08:36,100
at all.
They didn't they didn't like use
1246
01:08:36,100 --> 01:08:39,300
that at all and I was kind of
like oh good job Demi, I'm proud
1247
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:42,399
of you for not doing that
because if this is a TV show it,
1248
01:08:42,399 --> 01:08:44,100
100% would have played into
this.
1249
01:08:44,300 --> 01:08:47,399
Story completely.
I think that's a good point and,
1250
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:49,500
and that kind of brings me
around to my final score on this
1251
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:52,000
movie.
And I think I'll start with the
1252
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,100
final scores because I'm afraid
that I might have the lowest
1253
01:08:55,100 --> 01:08:58,300
final score of all of us.
And it's not because I dislike
1254
01:08:58,300 --> 01:09:01,899
this movie like I said, I have
really gone back and forth on is
1255
01:09:01,899 --> 01:09:05,200
this a very good movie or is it
a great movie and it's
1256
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,100
definitely a movie that people
Revere.
1257
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:09,500
Like it's, you know, if you go
on IMDb I think it's like number
1258
01:09:09,500 --> 01:09:10,899
23.
All time.
1259
01:09:10,899 --> 01:09:14,300
It's super well made the first
time I saw it, it was
1260
01:09:14,300 --> 01:09:16,500
Horrifying.
I think it still holds up on
1261
01:09:16,500 --> 01:09:20,300
re-watch, but like Chad said, it
definitely loses something in
1262
01:09:20,300 --> 01:09:22,399
the re-watch.
And so I'm coming at this movie
1263
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:24,600
having seen it, you know, ten
times.
1264
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,000
Now probably I think I'm going
to give it an eight and a half
1265
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:29,800
like it's a really well-made
movie.
1266
01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:33,000
It won best picture.
I think deservedly so.
1267
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,500
But I don't know if I would put
it like in that all time ranking
1268
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,700
and I was thinking about like
serial killer movies and how
1269
01:09:40,700 --> 01:09:42,100
they've developed over the
years.
1270
01:09:42,399 --> 01:09:45,700
And I think if I had to choose
one Serial killer movie to put
1271
01:09:45,700 --> 01:09:48,100
over this.
I think I put David Fincher's
1272
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:51,800
movies, zodiac over this movie.
Like it, has that sort of, like,
1273
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,300
procedural element to it.
I think the suspense is really
1274
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:57,500
well done, and so, I think that
we've seen this movie done
1275
01:09:57,500 --> 01:10:01,400
better over the years, but it's
definitely still worth watching,
1276
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,600
especially, because of
everything we've talked about,
1277
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,900
with, you know, condemning the
male gaze and having such a, you
1278
01:10:06,900 --> 01:10:10,200
know, a really strong female
protagonist, which you still
1279
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,200
don't see in movies like this.
So, yeah, I'm coming out to an
1280
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,000
eight and a half out of ten.
Where's everybody else?
1281
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,700
Falling?
I was leaning, I was leaning 9 9
1282
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:22,200
out of 10 because I tried to put
myself back in the shoes of the
1283
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,400
first time that I saw it, and
the impact that it had, I was
1284
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,200
shook up after I watched that
movie.
1285
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,300
So I got to go with that.
And like I said, I'd continue to
1286
01:10:31,300 --> 01:10:32,600
go back to it every couple of
years.
1287
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,900
I'll be like, you know what, I'm
gonna watch that again because
1288
01:10:34,900 --> 01:10:38,100
there's just something that's
so, I don't know, it's
1289
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:41,500
comforting about.
I know that sounds crazy, but
1290
01:10:41,500 --> 01:10:43,900
the level of performance and
like that, I know what I'm going
1291
01:10:43,900 --> 01:10:44,600
to get.
Out of it.
1292
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,700
And yet I also know that there's
going to be a level of intrigue
1293
01:10:47,700 --> 01:10:49,500
every time I watch it, even
though I know it's going to
1294
01:10:49,508 --> 01:10:52,300
happen.
I just don't find things like
1295
01:10:52,300 --> 01:10:54,200
that all the time.
So yeah.
1296
01:10:54,300 --> 01:10:57,400
Agreed and I'm not stealing your
score.
1297
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,200
I promise.
I thought this before but I also
1298
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:06,500
am going to give it a 9.
I think that it's it's just a
1299
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:10,700
well-made movie on so many
levels from the directing from
1300
01:11:10,700 --> 01:11:13,100
the performances from the
cinematography.
1301
01:11:14,300 --> 01:11:17,800
That it just it stands up.
It stands up to the test of
1302
01:11:17,808 --> 01:11:18,700
time.
So, yeah.
1303
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:21,800
Nice solid nine.
Yeah, I were sounding like a
1304
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,000
broken record here, but I'm also
going to give it a 9 out of 10.
1305
01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:29,400
I think that one of my favorite
Parts about this movie is how it
1306
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:33,000
is bookended, and I love when a
director really takes into
1307
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,700
account, how a movie starts and
How It Ends.
1308
01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:39,500
And the way that the movie
starts with this, this truly
1309
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:44,100
kind of creepy tone set by the
music.
1310
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,300
Like that Howard Shore has
composed for it as you watch
1311
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:51,700
Jodie Foster run alone through a
forest, kind of covered in fog a
1312
01:11:51,700 --> 01:11:56,900
little bit and it ends with
Hannibal Lecter and this kind of
1313
01:11:56,900 --> 01:12:02,100
creepy music playing once again,
as he slowly follows his next,
1314
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:06,300
you know, Quarry down the road,
like, there's just this sense of
1315
01:12:06,300 --> 01:12:10,500
unease from start to finish in
this film and there's no
1316
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:13,200
resolution for it.
Hannibal Lecter is a looming
1317
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,300
threat at the start of the The
even though you don't know it
1318
01:12:15,300 --> 01:12:18,500
yet and he is a looming threat
at the end of the movie, just
1319
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:21,200
because he's alive.
And there's something about
1320
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,500
that.
That just I think it does stand
1321
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:26,000
the test of time as somebody
who's seen it for the first time
1322
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:31,300
30 years since its Inception.
I'm all in man, this is a great
1323
01:12:31,300 --> 01:12:33,500
film.
Alright, well there you have it.
1324
01:12:33,500 --> 01:12:37,100
I am the lone person out here at
an eight and a half but not too
1325
01:12:37,100 --> 01:12:39,800
far off of what everybody else
is bringing to the table with a
1326
01:12:39,808 --> 01:12:42,500
9 here.
If you average out Brad and my
1327
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:47,000
score you come out to an At 75
out of 10, we would love to know
1328
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,100
what you think of this movie.
Am, I just way off base and

01:12:50,100 --> 01:12:52,900
