The Treasure of the Sierra Madre / Four Roses
Bob and Brad revisit the absolutely beloved, and yet still somehow underseen, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. This is a movie that casts a long shadow: it might be the quintessential American "adventure" movie. And it also features some freaking insane performances from Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston.
The guys discuss those performances, as well as that of Tim Holt, who, in his own quiet way, might be the best performer in the whole thing.
Meanwhile, thanks to their Instagram friend @bourbon_in_college, they try out a flagship bourbon from one of America's favorite lines: Four Roses Yellow Label. For $20, it's hard to beat the value on this one, but does it stand up to other, more expensive bourbons?
Also, this week's intro is all about some exciting updates to the podcast, including that we've been picked up by a network: Robots Radio!

Hey everybody.
I'm Bob and I'm Brad, we're the
2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,900
host of the film whiskey podcast
and we're just so excited
3
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:09,100
because we've been doing this
for about six seven, eight
4
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,400
months now and we have some big
exciting news for you guys.
5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,600
And so we just kind of want to
give you a couple updates about
6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,900
the podcast as a whole.
Yeah, just here at the top of
7
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:19,000
this episode we thought that we
would give you a couple
8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,800
announcements and the first one
is that we have joined a podcast
9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,500
Network which we are super
excited about.
10
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,500
This is such a great opportunity
to collaborate with other
11
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:31,800
creators and the network.
We have joined is called robots
12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,400
radio.
So Bob, once you tell them what
13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,200
robots video is all about.
Yeah, so robots radio is a
14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,600
small, but growing network of
podcasts, and all of their
15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,400
podcasts have to do with nerd
culture.
16
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:45,500
So on the network, you're going
to see podcast about gaming,
17
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,000
you're going to see podcasts
about even something like
18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,900
boardgaming I think is on the
podcast.
19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
There's actually one other movie
podcast on the network called
20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,800
fresh tomatoes, where they look
at films that have rotten Rotten
21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,300
Tomato scores and they try to
find something positive in them.
22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,900
So, Super excited to be joining
this network.
23
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:05,200
You know, if you've listened to
the podcast, you have heard me
24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,700
go on and on, in my nerdy way
about movies and I think we fit
25
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,500
right in.
So what this means is that
26
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,300
you're going to start hearing a
couple advertisements for other
27
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:16,700
shows on the network.
And usually, we're going to play
28
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:20,400
those at the Midway point or at
the end of each episode.
29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,800
So just be prepared to hear a
couple advertisements but please
30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,900
check out the other podcast on
this network.
31
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:28,300
They are all great.
They've all been produced at a
32
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:30,900
super high level just like you
would Come to expect from
33
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:34,100
filming whiskey.
And we've really just realized
34
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:35,900
that this is such an awesome
opportunity.
35
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:40,800
We have to collaborate with
other people on making cool, fun
36
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,600
and interesting podcasts.
So, we're just so excited to
37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,700
bring you that we've updated our
logo to represent the change.
38
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,400
Yeah.
And speaking of changes, we are
39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,100
actually in the process of
making a 4 to 5 Minute Podcast
40
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:57,400
trailer, that is going to show
up as the preview episode for
41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,500
the podcast in your player.
So, currently right now, You
42
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,100
will see that we have a preview
episode that we recorded back in
43
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,300
February on Anchorman and that
was never really intended for us
44
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,800
to release as a full episode.
It was something that Brad and I
45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,000
just did one day for fun to see
if this film.
46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,500
And whiskey thing might work out
and that preview episode has
47
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,000
really served us.
Well, but what we found is that
48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
it doesn't really reflect the
quality that you all have come
49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,800
to expect from the show if you
absolutely love the Anchorman
50
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,700
episode, you can go ahead, go to
the simple cast are simple, cast
51
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:32,800
page, And you can download it
right now and keep it forever.
52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,400
Listen to it at your heart's
content, but that will be coming
53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,100
down in the next two to three
weeks.
54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,800
And so that's it.
We are about to get into our
55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,600
episode on Humphrey.
Bogart's classic.
56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,300
The Treasure of the Sierra
Madre.
57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,800
Bob, is there anything else
you'd like to say?
58
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:47,100
No.
Enjoy.
59
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,200
We love you guys.
Thanks again.
60
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,700
Robots radio presents in 1948
director, John Huston and star
61
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:56,600
Humphrey Bogart, gave the world,
a tragic.
62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,100
Tale about the fruits, born out
of greed in 2019.
63
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:01,900
We sample?
A flagship bourbon.
64
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:04,100
That could be a gateway to
Liquid Gold.
65
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:07,900
The film is The Treasure of the
Sierra Madre, the whiskey is for
66
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:10,000
roses and we'll review them
both.
67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,900
This is the film and whiskey
podcast.
68
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,500
Welcome to the film and whiskey
podcast were each week, we
69
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,100
review a classic movie and a
glass of whiskey.
70
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,500
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G.
And this week we're looking at
71
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,200
the 1948 film.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
72
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:47,100
Brad.
I feel like this is one of those
73
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:50,800
movies, you know?
It's one of my favorite older
74
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,600
movies and I feel like it's had
such an impact on culture.
75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000
And yet at the same time, it's
one of those movies that I don't
76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,600
think anyone has really heard of
before.
77
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:02,500
Yeah.
I mean, I've watched the movie
78
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:04,600
recently and I don't think I've
ever heard of it.
79
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:06,400
Yeah.
It's just not one of those
80
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,300
titles that comes up when you
hear the list of classic movies,
81
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:11,700
it just doesn't come up in the
conversation with, you know,
82
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:14,500
Citizen Kane, Casablanca
vertigo.
83
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,300
And yet it's just as highly
regarded as any of those movies,
84
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,200
you know, when Library of
Congress started.
85
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,300
This thing called the national
film registry in 1989 to
86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,900
basically like preserve movies
that they thought were
87
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,700
culturally important to the
United States.
88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,900
This movie was inducted in the
second year of existence for
89
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,700
that thing.
So, it's like, people certainly
90
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,900
hold this movie in high regard.
And yet, at the same time, I
91
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,400
think if you ask the average
person on the street, like, name
92
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,600
more than one movie that has
Humphrey Bogart in it.
93
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,300
I don't really know if this
movie is coming out of their
94
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:46,800
mouths.
Yeah, and it's, and it's really
95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,800
sad to see that because Cuz
honestly, I'll give myself away
96
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,500
right now.
It's a really good.
97
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,300
Oh, it's so good, it's one of my
favorites.
98
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,700
So I'm glad to hear that, you
know, you hadn't heard of it and
99
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:00,400
that you also really enjoyed
watching it Brad.
100
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,800
What were your kind of initial
impressions of the movie as you
101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,800
went into it?
Did you have any idea what it
102
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,700
was going to be about?
Did you know, the plot in
103
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:12,300
advance for some reason just the
title and the cover art for the
104
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:15,500
film kind of gave away?
The fact that it was gold mining
105
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,900
or something about, you know,
striking it rich out.
106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Wild West.
I didn't know that it was in
107
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,900
Mexico, even though you probably
could have gotten that from the
108
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:26,000
title Sierra Madre.
Well, that's okay.
109
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,200
We forgive you for that.
Well, you know, but yeah, a long
110
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,600
story short.
I went into this movie without
111
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,900
many expectations.
I didn't know what was coming my
112
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:38,000
way and I was blown away.
I think one of the things that
113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,100
makes it difficult to be
accessible to the common public
114
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:44,500
is just the fact that I don't
know man, old movies or just
115
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:48,700
made so very differently than
modern movies.
116
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:49,200
Yeah.
Yeah.
117
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,400
And I think that really comes
out in this film.
118
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:55,000
Yeah, and I noticed it in the
way that John Huston, the
119
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,400
director kind of put this movie
together as well.
120
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,000
He wasn't making this movie in
like the conventional way that
121
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,100
you would have seen movies made
at that time.
122
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,800
This was actually one of the
very first movies, ever to be
123
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,500
filmed almost entirely on
location outside of the United
124
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:11,300
States.
They went to Mexico.
125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000
They were roughing it, you know,
kind of in the wilderness out
126
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,800
there.
John Huston kind of prided
127
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800
himself on being like a
rough-and-tumble guy and he made
128
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,800
All of his actors go out hiking
with him in all of these scenes
129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,700
and this movie was like,
exorbitantly expensive, because
130
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:27,800
of that.
But you see it also in the way
131
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,600
that Houston kind of directs a
scene like I don't know how to
132
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,200
explain it but it almost struck
me as like a foreign film.
133
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,100
The way that the first couple
scenes are pasted, it was like
134
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:40,900
lots of cuts.
Lots of weird camera angles as
135
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,700
you get the feel for what this,
you know, City street in Tampico
136
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:48,200
and Mexico, looks like and you
just immediately are put into
137
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,500
this world where or like whoa,
old movies, don't usually flow
138
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:53,000
like this.
There's something different
139
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,400
about this one and that's truly.
Thanks to director John Huston.
140
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,600
He now correct me if I'm wrong.
He was the director for African
141
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,300
queen.
Correct.
142
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:01,600
Yeah.
He directed The African Queen.
143
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,700
And then before this his first
film as biggest most
144
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:07,800
well-remembered film would be
the Maltese Falcon, which he
145
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,400
also did with Bogart, right?
And so would you say that one of
146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,000
Houston's legacies is the fact
that he really promoted the
147
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,700
format of actually filming in a
location that truly Slate's to
148
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:21,500
the viewer.
What it's like to be in a
149
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:22,800
foreign country.
Absolutely.
150
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,200
Yeah.
And I mean, you just can't beat
151
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,500
the authenticity.
And I think part of that is why
152
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,600
this movie has such a different
feel because, you know, when you
153
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,100
watch a Casablanca or any movie
made in that era, you know, your
154
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:36,100
mind doesn't know it, but you're
watching something that was
155
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,500
filmed on a soundstage and all
of the camerawork reflects that
156
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:42,300
whereas in this movie like when
you're watching, somebody walk
157
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:43,900
up the side of a mountain you're
watching.
158
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:47,100
Someone walk up the actual side
of a mountain and no matter what
159
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:48,800
kind of fancy camera work, they
try to do.
160
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:51,600
Do there's only so much that you
can work around nature.
161
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,600
And so, it really does give this
film a completely different vibe
162
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,200
and feel like throughout the
whole thing.
163
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:01,600
Yeah, the scene that I think of
when you talk about that is when
164
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,400
the fourth member of their group
briefly joins them and they're
165
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,400
ready to kill him, but then he
points out.
166
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,000
Hey, there's there's Bandits
coming up the mountain and they
167
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,700
give you that beautiful camera
shot of the entire mountain and
168
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:18,800
you see the Bandits on horses?
Yeah, you know a few miles away
169
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,900
Right.
And and that shot gives you the
170
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:27,000
sense of how big the the set is
that you're not on a soundstage
171
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,500
at, you're actually out in
nature and it gives credibility
172
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:34,000
when, you know, Walter Huston
says, well, it'll probably take
173
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
him an hour to get here.
We should probably eat some food
174
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,400
for.
Yeah, right, right.
175
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:39,700
And that like make sense, you're
like, oh yeah, they're really
176
00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:41,299
far away.
It'll probably take him an hour
177
00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:44,200
to get here, so I don't want to
go too far into the details of
178
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,400
the plot especially for people
who are listening to this and
179
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,200
haven't seen the movie yet.
So why don't we hit the X right
180
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200
now and go to our favorite
segments.
181
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:54,100
Brad explains.
The Treasure of the Sierra
182
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,900
Madre, I think that we might
need to rename the segment Brad
183
00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:58,900
spoils.
The Treasure of the Sierra
184
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:01,700
Madre, dad spoils the movie
that's 71 years old.
185
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:05,600
That's right.
Oh yeah, we forgot to mention.
186
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,700
This is the 71st anniversary.
It's a big one, it's a major
187
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:12,600
Milestone.
You're the worst just do Brad
188
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,800
explode.
So The Treasure of the Sierra
189
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,700
Madre is a movie that It's off
by basically just following
190
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:26,500
Humphrey Bogart, around a town
in Mexico and he's just a hobo.
191
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:31,600
He's a Drifter that ask people
for money and he ends up,
192
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,700
striking it rich with the
lottery.
193
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,900
And with that money, he decides
that.
194
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:39,900
Hey, I should probably take this
money by some donkeys and
195
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,400
equipment, and go prospecting
with my other hobo friend.
196
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,300
And this crazy old man, we found
in a bar who talked to us about
197
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:48,800
prospecting.
I mean, that's pretty much.
198
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:51,000
Much does that set?
Our, that's the setup for the
199
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,900
movie and then, that's, that's
the entire set of.
200
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:54,100
Yeah.
And then, where it goes from,
201
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:58,600
there is essentially, you know,
everything that Walter Houston's
202
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,600
character, Howard.
And that would be the crazy old
203
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,400
man that they find.
He basically gives this speech
204
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,600
about the, you know, the power
of gold to corrupt people and
205
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,400
what happens to people's, you
know, psyches as they go out and
206
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,900
try to Prospect.
And the rest of the movie is
207
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:17,200
that basically becoming a
prophecy and coming true and you
208
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,600
watch these three men go Into
the Wilderness and slowly lose
209
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,800
their minds as they look for
gold.
210
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:27,000
Yeah, and the, the movie
succeeded, I think the only
211
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
reason the movie is good is
because the three main
212
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,900
performers in the movie Walter
Huston, Humphrey Bogart.
213
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,200
And I can't remember the third
guys name, it's Tim Holt, Tim
214
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,700
Holt, they turn in three of the
best performances.
215
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,700
I think I've ever seen, they're
all fantastic and the great
216
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:47,100
thing about the roles that
they're playing is, you know,
217
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:51,700
they're not all Super complex
characters, like you get the
218
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:55,500
sense from the beginning that
Bogart's character is this loud.
219
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:59,300
Brash kind of morally.
Corrupt guy, that's capable of
220
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:01,700
doing bad things and that's
exactly what he becomes.
221
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,900
You know, Walter Houston's
character is the Wise Old
222
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:08,400
Prospector who seems, you know,
insane, but is the most sane one
223
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,600
of all, and then, Tim Holtz
character and I actually think
224
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,900
Tim Holt is the character that
anchors the movie down because
225
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:18,400
he ends up becoming who we as
the audience latch onto, because
226
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,600
he's the only One that kind of
keeps his sanity and has a good
227
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,700
heart throughout the movie.
Yeah.
228
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,900
For sure.
The the moment that you really
229
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:32,100
latch onto him as a character is
when the cave-in at the mine
230
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:37,500
happens and he almost turns and
leaves Humphrey Bogart to die.
231
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:39,100
Yeah.
So they're, they're like they're
232
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:41,200
just starting their sort of
prospecting Journey.
233
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,200
They've like they've basically
created a mine in the side of
234
00:11:44,208 --> 00:11:46,600
the mountain and it caves in on
top of Humphrey Bogart.
235
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,700
And you're right Brad, you get
this wonderful scene.
236
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,600
Scene where Tim hold is like
calling into the mine Dobbs
237
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,700
Dobbs, which is Bogaerts
character's name.
238
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,500
And for just a second, he turns
his back and you, you get the
239
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:02,900
sense of like, oh, gold is
starting to corrupt, even this
240
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:06,300
guy and then all of a sudden,
you get this great musical cue
241
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:09,600
of like the camaraderie theme
that you've heard through the
242
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,100
whole movie and he runs back
into the mine to rescue,
243
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:14,400
Humphrey Bogart.
It really is it's a great beat
244
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,700
in the movie.
Yeah.
245
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,700
And that I will say that brings
me to one of my points of how
246
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:23,200
Old movies are so much different
than new and older movies.
247
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,600
It is so much more obvious.
What the director wants you to
248
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,600
feel with music?
Yeah but you know what?
249
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,200
I almost I kind of wanted to
talk about this too, because I
250
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,100
almost feel like the music in
this movie is too much and like
251
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:39,200
it's really catchy.
I love all the different themes
252
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,100
but it beats you over the head
with what it's trying to do.
253
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,800
Yeah.
But I guess the thing for me is
254
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,700
I feel like that happens in a
lot of older movie.
255
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,200
For sure, the music is, is just
be like you said, it beats you
256
00:12:52,208 --> 00:12:54,600
over the head with like this is
how you should feel, and we
257
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,000
talked about on the waterfront
of few weeks ago, I felt very
258
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,100
similarly about that movie, that
whenever you were supposed to
259
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,000
feel good, you had a nice
upswell in the music whenever
260
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,700
you supposed to be scared.
There's a nice little you know
261
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,500
up and down wavery.
Oh man.
262
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:11,000
What's going to happen next?
You know piece of the music
263
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,200
right?
And so like these older movies,
264
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,400
they just hit you over the head
with music is showing you how
265
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,100
you should feel.
Yet, at the same time, I think
266
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,900
this is where Houston's
decisions as a director really
267
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:26,300
shine because he makes the
decision that not a lot of
268
00:13:26,308 --> 00:13:30,000
people did back then to
completely drop out the music at
269
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,700
really crucial moments.
And it's, it's always when
270
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,600
there's a really suspenseful
scene happening and he knows
271
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,100
exactly when to make it just
silent and it happens, probably
272
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:40,900
three or four times in the
movie.
273
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:43,900
One of the first times that it
happens is, you know, Brad, you
274
00:13:43,908 --> 00:13:46,600
were referring to this earlier.
There's a point in the movie
275
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,100
where one of the characters
Curtain.
276
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:52,200
Tim Holtz character has to go
down into town and buy supplies
277
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,000
and someone notices him down
there and follows him up the
278
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,500
mountain and tries to become
part of their group and they're
279
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:03,600
sitting around the campfire that
night and Tim Holt is recounting
280
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,900
to the other two guys.
Yeah, I think that guy followed
281
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,700
me and all of a sudden, the
music cuts out and you see that
282
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,400
the guy standing right there by
his camp and you have no idea
283
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,500
what's going to happen.
But the tension is so ratcheted
284
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:18,700
up because you do get rid of
that, sort of like bombastic.
285
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,700
Music and you're left with
nothing but the silence that all
286
00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:25,200
these guys are sharing with each
other and and that silence, I
287
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,800
think mimics real life.
Oh crap moments.
288
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,200
Yeah, we're, you know,
obviously, we don't all run
289
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,800
around with music playing in our
head but if we did, they would
290
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,500
stop when we feel like we got
caught doing something, we
291
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,100
shouldn't be doing or we're in
trouble for something you don't
292
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:41,600
know, I mean solutely.
All right.
293
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,300
So maybe this is a good time for
us to kind of walk back to the
294
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:47,800
three lead performances that
we've been talking about.
295
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,300
So we're talking about Bo.
Bogart.
296
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:52,600
We're talking about Walter
Huston and Tim Holt and I want
297
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,000
to start with Humphrey Bogart
because he is, you know, the
298
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,600
major Hollywood star.
He's been at the top of the
299
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,700
Heap, since Casablanca really
catapulted him into the
300
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:04,800
stratosphere, and he takes a lot
of risks here.
301
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:08,300
I mean, he's the villain of the
movie and yet he's the, he's the
302
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:11,300
first person you see where
dropped into the movie and we
303
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:14,600
think that we're going to be
sympathizing with and following
304
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,100
his character of Dobbs, all
through the movie and really
305
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:20,200
what the movies.
God is watching this guy Dobbs
306
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,800
go from kind of you know a jerk
of a guy to being a completely
307
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,600
insane murderer and for someone
of his stature to take on a role
308
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,500
like that, I think was super
gutsy.
309
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:35,500
Yeah, I think you could almost
call him a lovable loser, at the
310
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:39,000
start of the movie and by the
end of the movie, he really does
311
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200
turn into this.
This murderous psychotic
312
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,000
mumbling to himself crazy
person.
313
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,400
That is the villain of the
movie.
314
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800
Who tried to kill the man who
Who saved his life.
315
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,600
I know you for what you want for
a long time.
316
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,900
I've had my suspicions about
you.
317
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:56,400
Now, I know I've been a right
suspicions.
318
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,400
Are you talking about?
Oh you're not putting anything
319
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,800
over on me, I see right through
you for a long time.
320
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,600
You had in your mind a bumping
off at the first, good
321
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,200
opportunity and bury me out here
in the bush, like a dog.
322
00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:09,100
So she could take not only the
old man's good but mine and the
323
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,800
bargain.
And when you get to Durango
324
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,800
safely, you'll have a big laugh.
Won't you thinking how dumb the
325
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,800
old man?
And I were make another move
326
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,200
toward me and I'll pull the
trigger.
327
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,200
I'll get your hands up.
Come on, get them up.
328
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,400
Was I right?
Or was I you and your Sunday
329
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,300
school?
Talk about protecting people's
330
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:34,500
Goods.
You want.
331
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,600
Stand up and take it like a man.
Come on, get up.
332
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,600
You know, it's really funny as
you call him a lovable loser, at
333
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,100
the start of the movie, and I
think maybe it's because I've
334
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:48,900
seen the movie before that, on
this watch, I knew where his
335
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,300
character goes.
But because he's the first
336
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:55,500
person we see, I think the
audience tries to forgive some
337
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:58,700
of his rough edges and, and try
to sympathize with him.
338
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:01,600
But on a second watch, you can
kind of see from the very
339
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,599
beginning.
The signs are all there of where
340
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,400
this guy is going to go like the
the Mexican kid that comes in
341
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,300
and tries to sell him the
lottery ticket.
342
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:13,599
He's been out on the street
asking for meals from all the
343
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,700
Americans and basically like
manipulating the same guy over
344
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,099
and over to give him money.
And then this kid comes in to
345
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:20,599
tries to sell him a lottery
ticket.
346
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,400
And he says, get away from me,
you little beggar, and he, like,
347
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,000
chases after him.
And it just shows how much Dobbs
348
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,600
has absolutely no self-awareness
or is in denial of who he is.
349
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,300
Like, he's clearly just as much
a beggar as this kid is, but in
350
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:40,000
his mind, he's above that kid
and it comes out like the
351
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,400
foreshadowing.
In this movie comes out time and
352
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000
time again, you know, when
they're all in, like the Flop
353
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,600
House together.
And Walter Huston is saying,
354
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,900
I've seen what gold will do to
people, you'll never stop
355
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:54,100
wanting more.
And Dobbs kind of drunkenly says
356
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:58,200
like, you know, I would only get
what I set out to get, you know,
357
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,100
immediately like that's BS and,
you know, watching it a second
358
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:05,800
time, you know, exactly that.
He has no idea what he's in
359
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,200
store for.
Yeah, I suppose that's one of
360
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,200
those situations where You kind
of see his character during
361
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,600
rough times, but when the true
difficult Hard Times come out,
362
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,100
you see that, who he always was,
is what comes out in the hardest
363
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:24,700
of times.
Yeah, definitely.
364
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,400
So the big thing for me, with
this movie about Humphrey
365
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,500
Bogart, as an actor, this movie
actually made me very glad that
366
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:35,600
I gave Casablanca a nine and a
half.
367
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,500
Why is that?
I looking back on Casablanca, I
368
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:42,900
really struggled with You know,
shy to give it a 10, it's such a
369
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:45,700
great movie.
I don't think Humphrey, Bogart,
370
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:50,400
turns in half as good of a
performance in Casablanca.
371
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,300
As he does, in The Treasure of
the Sierra Madre.
372
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:55,200
You know, I would agree that his
his performance here is the
373
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,500
better performance.
I also think it's the showier
374
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:00,200
performance, so we're kind of
looking for it a little bit, but
375
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,000
I'm in complete agreement with
you Brad.
376
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800
This is in my opinion, like the
best performance of Bogaerts
377
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,700
career.
Yeah.
378
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:09,800
And you get it right away, he
actually like raises his voice.
379
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,000
Like it.
In all of Casablanca.
380
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,600
He just kind of uses this low
Gravely.
381
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:18,700
Like he almost sounds drunk the
entire movie of just like, oh,
382
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,000
what are you doing in my bar of
all?
383
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,100
The Gin joints?
Yeah, I'm Han.
384
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:28,000
So it's going to say, I love how
he sounds like elderly Harrison
385
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,900
Ford it.
Yeah, for sure.
386
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:34,400
But like in this movie he
actually gets excitable any any
387
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,600
any speaks loudly?
And he speaks softly and he he
388
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,500
just works the camera.
And he works his voice in such
389
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:47,900
different ways that I love this
performance by Bogart even with
390
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:50,500
him being the villain.
Yeah, definitely and it's not
391
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:53,300
the only show we performance in
the movie because you've got
392
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:56,800
Walter Huston there.
As the old man Howard who is
393
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,500
like every bit chewing, the
scenery as Bogart is.
394
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,200
What did you think row?
What did you think of Houston's
395
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,400
performance bro?
He is Hamming.
396
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,300
It oh yeah, I mean he just like
you said, he Just choose the
397
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:13,100
scenery up.
He doesn't care what's happening
398
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:16,100
around him.
He knows what his line is and he
399
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:20,700
knows the type of character he
needs to be and he throws it in
400
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:24,600
your face every time he laughs.
Every time he delivers a line, I
401
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,000
mean, he's just spot-on.
And it's funny because I feel
402
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,200
like I've seen this character a
hundred times, but then when you
403
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,100
trace it back, they all have
their origins in this Walter
404
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:38,600
Huston character.
Like we I'd also I don't want to
405
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,700
undersell his performance either
because it Fantastic.
406
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,100
Yeah, he honestly reminds me a
little bit or I should say this
407
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:51,800
other actor reminds me of Walter
Huston Joey Brown in Some Like
408
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,900
It Hot so interesting.
Like the just the way he laughs
409
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:59,200
and he hands it up and granted.
It's a comedy versus a drama.
410
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,400
So it's different.
But like, just the way he hams
411
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,800
up the older male character,
right?
412
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,800
The it just screamed Walter
Huston to me.
413
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,800
And the funny thing is, Walter
Huston had been, you know, he He
414
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,400
was a classically trained actor
and he was an Oscar winner.
415
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,100
He had been a leading man and,
you know, getting into his older
416
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:18,900
years.
He still felt like he was
417
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:21,500
leading man, and so when his
son, you know, the director John
418
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:24,800
Huston, came to him and said,
Dad, I want you to play the
419
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,300
supporting part and also you're
going to be playing like the old
420
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:31,400
stinky prospector.
And also, I want you to take out
421
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,600
your dentures in the course of
the movie.
422
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,500
So, it seems more authentic that
he didn't think he could do it
423
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:38,700
at first.
And so, it's kind of like, with
424
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:41,200
Bogart.
They're playing But what people
425
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,900
are used to seeing them play but
I think they do it to such
426
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,300
incredible results.
That you don't question the
427
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:50,500
decision that John Huston made.
I'm not going to Nazca and
428
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:53,000
Canada and Colorado house with
the crowd in the British
429
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,900
Honduras.
What made the fare back home and
430
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:57,700
almost enough over to kill me
the fiery, red card doesn't
431
00:21:57,700 --> 00:22:00,000
California and Australia all
over the word practically.
432
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,200
I know what Goldust Amanda
Souls.
433
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:07,000
You talk is all you struck it
rich some time or other pop.
434
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,800
How about it?
And what are you doing in here?
435
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,500
The down in order to Gold?
That's what makes this never
436
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:17,800
know, Prospect, he had to died
Rich, make own fortune, should
437
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,500
have blowed in trying to find
another, I'm no exception to the
438
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:23,300
rule.
Sure.
439
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,500
I'm an Audubon now, would say,
don't you guys think the spirit
440
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:29,400
gone, I'll set the shoulder
pickaxe, and shovel anytime
441
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,500
anybody's going to share
expenses, rather go by myself.
442
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:34,000
Go along the best way, but you
got to have a stomach for long.
443
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,200
- some guys gonna do with it.
On the other hand going to
444
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,700
partner to his dangerous.
Murderers, always lurking about
445
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,000
Partners the kidneys out of all
sorts of crimes.
446
00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:47,400
Long as there's no find the
noble, Brotherhood will last,
447
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:51,200
but when the piles of gold begin
to grow, that's when the trouble
448
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,400
starts.
Yeah.
449
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,200
So can I can I throw something
at you?
450
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,000
And you can confirm if I'm right
or wrong?
451
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,600
Yeah, sure.
Toy Story tip.
452
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,100
The character is it.
Stinky Pinky Pete.
453
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,700
Tell me that he was not based
100% on Walter.
454
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:11,200
He's, it was totally a throwback
to treasure this year.
455
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,400
Madre like and, you know, the
Kelsey Grammer voiced isn't the
456
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,700
same as Walter Huston, but the
design of that character, 100%
457
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:21,600
Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
Yeah, what, as I was watching?
458
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,100
Howard.
I was like, man, he just there's
459
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:26,300
something about him.
That seems so familiar.
460
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,000
And like halfway through the
movie, I put my finger on, I was
461
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,100
like oh it's Stinky Pete from
Toy Story. 2.
462
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:36,200
That's exactly right.
And, you know, you said that, he
463
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,200
was Hamming it up.
And I actually like, I think
464
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,500
that's probably the best way to
phrase it.
465
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,800
There's one point in the movie,
where I just cannot forgive
466
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Walter Huston, or John Huston,
and it's like towards the end of
467
00:23:47,008 --> 00:23:49,400
the movie, you know, they're
getting ready to come in from
468
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,600
prospecting and cash in all
their gold and these Mexican
469
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,600
villagers come and say, there's
a sick boy, we need a Healer to
470
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200
come and take care of him.
And so Howard's, like, well, you
471
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,300
know, I've got some experience
in that and he goes off with the
472
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:04,100
Villagers.
He saves the boy and the
473
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Villagers make him stay so they
can honor him and treat him like
474
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,200
a god basically.
And in this scene where they're
475
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,600
like, pampering him Walter
Huston like takes a puff off of
476
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,000
a pipe or he takes a drink out
of a coconut or something and he
477
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,100
looks right at the camera and he
like winks and goes blurry.
478
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:28,700
And I couldn't believe that in
the middle of the Super's
479
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:34,500
dispensable dark cynical movie
that this man looked Right?
480
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:38,300
Down the barrel of the camera.
Like a Bugs, Bunny cartoon, and
481
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:41,100
they left it in the movie.
It's unforgivable.
482
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:45,800
Yeah, I do not, I didn't
understand that either if that
483
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,700
had happened like at the start
of the movie.
484
00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:48,400
Maybe.
Yeah.
485
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,000
But like, we're right in the
series part where it pulled me
486
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,700
out of the movie guard has.
Yeah.
487
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:59,500
Humphrey Bogart has just killed
Tim Holt In Cold Blood, right?
488
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,900
And you just have him Hamming.
It up winking at the camera we
489
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:05,500
can.
This young girl whose lighting
490
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:07,800
his pipe, it was the most like
whoa.
491
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,300
It was the most jarring thing in
the whole movie and yeah, it
492
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:12,900
really did.
Pull me out of the movie for a
493
00:25:12,908 --> 00:25:15,400
minute.
Well, it felt like an outtake.
494
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,400
That should have been left on
The Cutting Room floor or like,
495
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,900
you know, John Huston keeps it
for his private collection and
496
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:22,900
laughs with his dad.
When they watch that go.
497
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:25,700
Haha, I remember when you worked
at the camera and they just left
498
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:27,800
it in.
Yeah, that that was amusing to
499
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,900
me.
So, let's round out our
500
00:25:28,908 --> 00:25:30,800
discussion of the three main
actors here.
501
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,000
I want to talk about Tim Holt
for a minute as his name.
502
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:36,800
Is Bob curtain in the movie,
they call him curtain, the whole
503
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,600
movie, Jim Holt, in my opinion,
like I said earlier, he anchors
504
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,500
the whole movie down, he gives
the most grounded performance
505
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:48,200
and you kind of have to because
you can't be at the intensity
506
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,900
level of either.
One of those other two actors
507
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:54,000
like someone had to balance it
out and I don't think people
508
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,600
give Tim Holt enough credit for
what he does in this movie.
509
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,500
Yeah.
The depth of his character.
510
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:02,700
I think really is shown best at
the very end of the movie when
511
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:06,500
they've ridden back to Ruins and
they're looking for their gold
512
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:08,900
and Walter Huston, just loses
it.
513
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:11,300
And he's giving us that
ridiculous laughs.
514
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:15,300
And he finally just says he's as
ah, the Earth is taken back.
515
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:20,400
What we took from it, you know,
hahaha, that's so funny and you
516
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:28,000
see this this path from anger
and frustration to acceptance
517
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,900
and understanding.
Yeah.
518
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:35,100
In Tim Holtz face that any
regular, you know, No American
519
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:38,600
watching that movie would say,
yeah, I could do the same thing.
520
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,700
I could come to terms with
losing out on 35,000 gold,
521
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:44,500
right, right.
And there's something about that
522
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:48,900
character that he just.
He works the camera perfectly.
523
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:52,100
He he bounces off of Humphrey
Bogart.
524
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:57,100
So well like he's so calm and
cool and collected in the face
525
00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:01,900
of Bogaerts Madness that you
just, he really does ground the
526
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:05,400
movie and anchor it in reality.
And he's the only one that they
527
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,500
really give these emotional
speeches to or I don't even know
528
00:27:09,508 --> 00:27:12,900
say emotional, but like hopeful
because, like, Howard gets a
529
00:27:12,908 --> 00:27:15,200
couple speeches where he talks
about what gold can do to a
530
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,600
man's soul.
But curtain is the guy who reads
531
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,600
the letter, from the fourth guy,
Cody's wife after we find out
532
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,500
that Cody's been killed by
Bandits.
533
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,200
You know, he's reading about
like little Timmy wants you to
534
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,600
come home and keeps asking
where's Dad?
535
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,900
And it's such a cheesy.
Seen.
536
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:38,600
But the way Tim Holt gives this
movie a little bit of like,
537
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,800
gravitas and emotion you buy it
coming from him.
538
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:47,400
Like he is the only thing that
gives this movie an emotional
539
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,700
punch because otherwise I feel
like it would be almost too dark
540
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:53,100
and too cynical to really
succeed.
541
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:56,900
Yeah, I feel like the three
characters are set up so
542
00:27:56,900 --> 00:28:00,600
perfectly that they're all
they're almost like caricatures
543
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,000
of what we want to see, you
know, with Walter Huston.
544
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,700
You see the person who you, you
almost see this, this might
545
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:12,900
sound weird, but he's almost
like an Angelic figure that is
546
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:16,600
trying to send a message to
Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt.
547
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:20,100
He comes in, he tells them the
danger of gold, he tells them
548
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:24,300
the danger of greed and then and
then he just lets them play it
549
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:26,900
out.
And you see and Humphrey Bogart.
550
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:30,500
And in Tim Holtz, the two
results that can happen.
551
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:34,200
You can be tempted by the gold
and turn away from it or or you
552
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,800
can be tempted by the gold and
given to the Mad.
553
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,300
Yes, yeah, definitely.
So Brad, you know, we have so
554
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:41,600
much more to talk about in this
movie.
555
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,600
We haven't really gotten into
John Huston's direction.
556
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,200
We haven't talked about our
favorite scenes.
557
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,200
We haven't analyzed what this
movie is all about, but I think
558
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,100
that in order to really get into
The Treasure of the Sierra
559
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:56,400
Madre, it's time for us to drink
a little bit of liquid gold.
560
00:28:56,700 --> 00:28:58,500
What do you say we tried this
for Roses?
561
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:01,700
Yellow label, the only gold that
truly matters.
562
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,500
Amen.
Let's get To it.
563
00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:13,600
All right, so today we are
checking out for Roses, yellow
564
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,900
label.
Now this is for like, just
565
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:18,400
standard for Roses, but they
call it yellow label.
566
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,400
It used to actually have a
yellow label.
567
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,100
They've redesigned the package.
It has this weird cream colored
568
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:24,900
label.
Now, I don't know, don't shoot
569
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:26,700
the messenger, but that's what
we're drinking today.
570
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:28,100
Brad.
What?
571
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,100
Why do you think it's for Roses?
Like, why not five roses?
572
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,500
I almost looked up the origin of
the name for Roses before we hit
573
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:41,000
record, but I did not do it.
So next time, We have four roses
574
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,900
on the show, I'll have an answer
for you but today I have no
575
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:45,500
idea.
Hey man, that's okay.
576
00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:51,600
We all have our faults.
So for Roses clocks, in at 80
577
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,900
proof, the website says that
it's aged for a minimum of five
578
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:59,000
years.
It runs 2199 for a fifth in the
579
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,900
state of Ohio.
So it's a super affordable
580
00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:02,600
whiskey.
Like I said, this is their
581
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Baseline standard whiskey.
Now, we have a fantastic friend
582
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,100
on Instagram, called bourbon in
college.
583
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,100
If you are not listening, Link
to his podcast, go check it out.
584
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:14,800
If you're not following Bourbon
and College on Instagram, go
585
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,500
follow him right now.
But Bourbon and college is
586
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:21,100
actually sent us four different
samples of Four Roses.
587
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600
So maybe that's where the Four
Roses come from Brad, it
588
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,900
probably, they probably
rebranded after he sent us the
589
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:29,700
for saying that they knew
exactly what he was doing.
590
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,200
So he sent us a sample of their
standard yellow label.
591
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,700
He sent us a small batch.
He sent us a single barrel and
592
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:38,300
then he also sent us a small
batch select.
593
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:41,000
So at four different points in
the coming weeks, we will be
594
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,600
trying for different kinds of
Four Roses.
595
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,800
Thanks to our friend bourbon in
college.
596
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:48,600
Yeah.
Tonight's drink goes out to my
597
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,800
boy Bourbon and college.
Go check him out.
598
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:53,600
All right, so let's get into it
Brad.
599
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,900
What are you thinking about
this?
600
00:30:55,900 --> 00:31:00,700
On the nose?
Ooh, it smells boozy doesn't
601
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:02,200
really smell boozy to.
You see?
602
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,200
I'm I'm smelling mine and I
don't, it actually doesn't give
603
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,600
me a lot at all.
It seems kind of low proof.
604
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,900
I mean, I know that it's only 80
proof.
605
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,000
But I don't smell a lot of
ethanol.
606
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,400
There's not a lot going on here.
I was just pulling your chain
607
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,300
Bob.
Well, my chain has been pulled
608
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:23,700
my friend.
So what do you actually think
609
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:25,500
about it?
I'm getting a little bit of like
610
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:28,700
vanilla and butterscotch.
That is so crazy.
611
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:32,900
I'm not getting any.
So I I have a lot of Oak.
612
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:37,600
Like I'm just smelling Oak
Barrel and almost like a like a
613
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,900
sea water.
Kind of smell like a saline.
614
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,300
Well but not a lot of vanilla.
Not a lot of brown sugar.
615
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,700
Not a lot of maple, it smells a
little bit spicy.
616
00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:52,000
Like maybe there's a higher
rhyme Ash bill and I get a
617
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,900
little bit of fruit on it but
I'm not getting those classic
618
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:57,900
vanilla notes that you are.
Yeah, I don't understand that
619
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:00,600
for me right now I'm picking up
some of the vanilla I do.
620
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,100
Pick up a little bit of that
spiciness that you're talking
621
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,300
about.
I can I can sense that.
622
00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:07,900
But yeah, a little bit of
vanilla and butterscotch.
623
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:10,700
I feel like so what kind of
score was Give it on the nose
624
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:13,100
Brad.
I'm gonna give it a seven on the
625
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,200
nose.
I think it has a nice pleasant.
626
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,700
It's not offensive.
It doesn't hit you very hard.
627
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,400
I like the nose pretty well.
Well, that's good.
628
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,700
I'm actually only going to give
it a 5 on the nose.
629
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:24,700
For me, it's just, it's not
doing it.
630
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:27,200
I I wish that there was a little
bit more complexity.
631
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,600
I wish I was picking up some of
those things that Brad's picking
632
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,500
up, but for me, it's just a 5.
Yeah.
633
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:33,800
So what do you think about
taste?
634
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,400
Let's give it a swig.
All right, so, first thing I'll
635
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,000
say is, it's really thin.
Yeah.
636
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,800
And it's not very sweet, it's a
little bit peppery.
637
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,000
Like I get a little bit of a
tingle from it, and I don't
638
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,600
think that's the alcohol.
I think that, you know, like we
639
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,500
said, there might be a little
bit more Ryan this than we're
640
00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:56,800
used to, but I'm just getting
tons and tons of Oak.
641
00:32:56,900 --> 00:33:00,500
This tastes underaged.
And I'm surprised that it says
642
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:03,200
that it's five years minimum
because I would have sworn, this
643
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,000
was like a two-year whiskey.
Just it, it tastes like Oak,
644
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,700
that hasn't mellowed.
Yeah, I would totally agree with
645
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:11,400
that.
It's a little bit thin.
646
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,700
You can tell it's watered down
to 80 proof and I still taste a
647
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:18,700
hint of the vanilla and
butterscotch.
648
00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:21,900
But I'm getting more of that
pepper and more of that Oak that
649
00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:26,400
you smelt on the nose.
I will say the second and third
650
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,800
sip of this I really really like
it's an easy sipper and that's
651
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,300
because it's 80 proof.
It doesn't have a ton of
652
00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:34,600
character on it but it's not
bitter.
653
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:37,500
It's Unpleasant.
It's not that astringent like
654
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:41,500
harsh ethanol taste.
It's just it just kind of tastes
655
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:43,600
like it hasn't been aged long
enough.
656
00:33:43,700 --> 00:33:45,100
I don't know how else to explain
it.
657
00:33:45,500 --> 00:33:47,900
Yeah I would agree.
I think I'm going to give it a 6
658
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:50,800
on the taste.
It tastes fine.
659
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,500
It's solid.
It doesn't quite live up to the
660
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:57,300
nose but yeah, it's easy sipper.
That's the best way to describe
661
00:33:57,300 --> 00:33:59,000
it.
I think I'm gonna give it a
662
00:33:59,008 --> 00:34:01,500
seven on the taste.
I don't dislike this.
663
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:04,500
It just doesn't really have a
ton of character, but again, for
664
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:09,100
an 80, Proof 21 dollar whiskey.
Like, what do you really expect?
665
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:12,600
So I like sipping on this.
I think it's something that I
666
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,300
could have a couple glasses of
and be satisfied.
667
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,100
So I'm gonna give it a seven on
the taste and that brings us to
668
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:22,900
finish which I kind of felt was
almost non-existent.
669
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:26,199
Like I said, it's not bitter.
It doesn't leave a bad taste in
670
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:28,600
your mouth.
It does have that sort of spicy
671
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:33,699
Oak flavor to it, but it
evaporates pretty quickly, which
672
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:36,000
if you're looking for a long
con, Lex finish, you're not
673
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,100
going to find it here, but if
you're looking for something
674
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:41,900
that you can just continually
sip on, this might be right up
675
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:43,699
your alley.
It just depends on what you like
676
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:46,199
on the finish.
I can't say anything that you
677
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:48,800
didn't just say, I mean, it's an
easy sipper.
678
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:52,300
It goes down, smooth.
It does not sit on your palate
679
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:54,400
for very long.
You could, you can almost feel
680
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,500
it evaporating, as you're
swallowing, it disappears pretty
681
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:01,900
quick, and that is a little bit
of a disappointment.
682
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:07,000
But for $21, I'd say it's about
Right on what I'd expect.
683
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,500
I would say the same thing.
Brad.
684
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:11,700
Do you generally consider
yourself to be a guy that enjoys
685
00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:14,800
a longer finish or one?
That Fades pretty quickly.
686
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,100
That's actually a really hard
question.
687
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:20,700
I I don't know the answer to
that question.
688
00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:22,200
Yeah.
I guess it depends on whether or
689
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,300
not you like the taste because,
you know, if it's like for me a
690
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:29,000
really heavily peated, Scotch
like those have super-long
691
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,200
finishes, but they just remind
me of how much I hated the
692
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,000
experience of drinking it.
So I hate the finish on those.
693
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,300
For sure.
And like when you have a ride
694
00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:42,600
that's just you know 99% rye and
it sits on your palate 45
695
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,400
minutes after you're done
sipping on it.
696
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,600
I don't know if I enjoy that.
No same thing.
697
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,100
But again, I wish there was a
little more going on in the
698
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:53,000
finish on this particular
whiskey.
699
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,700
So I'm just going to give it a 5
on the Finish.
700
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,800
Yeah, I'm gonna give it a 6 on
the finish.
701
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:02,700
It lingers just long enough to
remind you what it did for you,
702
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:04,900
but it doesn't stick around for
very long.
703
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,200
All right, that brings us to
overall balance.
704
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,500
We're talking knows taste and
finish on this Brad.
705
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,100
How do you think the stacked up
when all things are considered,
706
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,200
you know, this is a really
well-balanced whiskey for all of
707
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,400
its pitfalls.
I think that the nose and The
708
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,900
Taste and the balance.
All, tell me exactly what
709
00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:26,200
they're going to do up front.
They don't trick me into
710
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,700
thinking.
It's something that it is.
711
00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:32,000
And I actually I'm going to give
it an 8 on balance, it's very
712
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,300
honest about what it is.
Yeah I'm going to do the same.
713
00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:37,600
I'm going to give it an eight
like you said.
714
00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:40,700
I'm not expecting a ton out of
this and I think that might be
715
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:43,800
kind of boosting my score a
little bit but no one part of
716
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,100
this stuck out, which says a lot
for a cheap whiskey because
717
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:50,000
usually either it's going to
smell too harsh on the nose or
718
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,400
it's going to taste too harsh or
it's going to finish too harsh,
719
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,300
but it was fairly mellow and
that may have something to do
720
00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:59,600
with the 80 proof.
But I think it still says a lot
721
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,800
that it was consistent from the
time I nosed it to after I
722
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,400
swallowed it.
So I'm going to Head and give it
723
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,600
an 8 on balance as well.
Yeah.
724
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,100
And when we come into the final
category of value, I think I
725
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:12,700
initially started to think man
like yeah this is pretty good
726
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:16,200
value but then I really started
to think about other Whiskey's
727
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:21,900
I've bought in the 2224 dollar
category and there's a lot of
728
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:25,600
other whiskies and Bourbons.
I think I'd rather be drinking.
729
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,200
Yeah you wouldn't think that a
fifteen dollar and a twenty
730
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,600
dollar whiskey would be that
different but if this was
731
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,900
something that was like sitting
Sitting next to Jack Daniels or
732
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:39,800
Jim Beam on the Shelf at fifteen
to Seventeen dollars.
733
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,000
I would think this would be an
astronomical value.
734
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:47,400
But I mean, I paid or I guess
Bourbon and college paid as much
735
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,200
for this as we would have paid
for like a Weller Special
736
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,100
Reserve and we weren't super
high on Weller.
737
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,500
But at the price point I would
take Weller over this any day of
738
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:59,400
the week.
Yeah, for sure.
739
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,400
I think I'm going to give this a
6 on value.
740
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,700
It's not you know it's not fully
average.
741
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:08,600
It's Above average value, but
it's just, okay, yeah, I'm gonna
742
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,200
give it a seven on value.
I do think that it's definitely
743
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,400
above average, I still like it
for the price point, it's not
744
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,800
terrible.
I do wish it was a few dollars
745
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,100
cheaper, but it's not like
they're guiding people for what
746
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:22,400
they're providing.
Yeah, I totally agree.
747
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,000
So that brings me out to a 33
out of 50 Bob.
748
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,200
What does that bring you to?
That brings me to a 32 out of
749
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,000
50.
Yeah, so we're like right on par
750
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,600
with each other.
I think we kind of think the
751
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,200
same The thing about this
whiskey, it's good, it's above
752
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,100
average, it doesn't sit with you
very long but it's a good easy
753
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:43,000
sipper.
Yeah, I mean we come out to a 65
754
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,900
out of 100 and you know when you
just look at the score it makes
755
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:49,000
it seem like this is a mediocre
whiskey.
756
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,600
I don't think that's the case at
all.
757
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,500
You know, most of our scores
have been in that 60 to 70
758
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,100
range.
Except for ones that we really,
759
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:57,500
really don't like.
And I think to say that
760
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:01,000
something is a 65 out of 100 and
you only have to pay twenty
761
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,400
Twenty-One dollars for it
actually says quite a About what
762
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,000
they're able to do at such a low
price point and at such a low
763
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,300
proof.
Yeah, and if you are looking for
764
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:12,800
an easy sipper, this would be
one.
765
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,500
I highly recommend and I guess
to get to our recommendation in
766
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:18,100
general.
I would recommend this.
767
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:20,700
I think it's a solid whiskey
that you should try at some
768
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:22,400
point.
Yeah, I would too.
769
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,700
And, you know, we're not going
to be trying these four
770
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:28,100
different samples of, for the
Four Roses line in consecutive
771
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:30,300
weeks.
But this makes me excited to see
772
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:33,000
what happens when we get into a
small batch when we get into a
773
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
singer single.
Barrel that are going to be at
774
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,600
higher proofs because what we're
getting at 80 proof, I'm really,
775
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,400
really excited about.
Yeah, and it excites me that big
776
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,000
companies are willing to make
products like this that are
777
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,200
still really high quality, but a
little bit lower on the price
778
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,100
because I think it's easy to get
into this attitude of.
779
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:58,400
Well, if I can't spend $100 on a
bottle of, you know, liquor then
780
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,200
it's not worth it for me.
Well, not many people can do
781
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,200
that.
Most people are in the category
782
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,800
of I'm looking for something I
really want to enjoy but my
783
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,500
budget for, you know,
non-essentials isn't super high.
784
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,400
So what can I enjoy?
And if you're if you're in that
785
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,300
category, go buy some, you know,
for Roses, yellow label.
786
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,200
Absolutely well, we both
recommend.
787
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,700
I actually really enjoyed that.
Thank you again to Bourbon and
788
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:23,700
college.
Brad.
789
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:25,400
What do you say?
We get back into talking about
790
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,300
The Treasure of the Sierra
Madre.
791
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:35,300
Let's do it.
So that was for Roses, yellow
792
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:38,200
label, Brad and I both
recommending it and Brad, and I
793
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,500
both recommend this movie
Treasure of the Sierra Madre,
794
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,400
Brad.
There's a lot of different
795
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,600
directions we can go, but I just
want to take a minute and talk
796
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,100
some more about John Huston's
Direction in this movie.
797
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:53,500
One of the things that I'm
shocked by every time I watch
798
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:57,400
this movie, it's not just that
it's a really dark kind of
799
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,400
cynical movie.
But it's that the only word I
800
00:41:01,408 --> 00:41:04,700
could think of to write down in
my notes was It'll it's just
801
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,100
there's such brutality in this
movie and it doesn't have that
802
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:14,500
sort of Classic Hollywood Sheen
of the violence is covered up
803
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:18,000
and you don't see anything.
I mean you get it like really
804
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,800
early on in the movie when
Bogart and Tim Holtz characters
805
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,800
have been working like hard
labor for this guy who's
806
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,500
supposed to pay them and then
stands them up and they find him
807
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:31,600
they track him down in a bar and
they just beat him to a pulp and
808
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,300
that fight scene goes on for
like Four minutes, and it's
809
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:39,100
literally like it was like a
Goodfellas stomping of this guy
810
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,600
and it happened like
40-something years before.
811
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,000
Goodfellas was filmed, I was
shocked at how brutal that fight
812
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,400
scene was, oh, for sure.
And I think, I think maybe that
813
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,500
scene is, why you have hope for
Humphrey Bogart's character
814
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,200
because they didn't just robbed
the man blind.
815
00:41:55,300 --> 00:41:58,100
They took the money that he
said, he would pay them for
816
00:41:58,100 --> 00:42:02,000
working on the oil rig, and then
they left him the rest.
817
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,800
And then they paid the bartender
and says, Ed.
818
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,300
Hey, thanks for the use of the
bar.
819
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:07,600
We apologize.
We're heading out.
820
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,000
And so there's that kind of hope
that he's not just going to you
821
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000
know be a greedy son of a gun
that he's actually a decent
822
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,200
person at heart.
You know.
823
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,700
I thought about that seen a lot
after it and I part of me
824
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:23,200
wonders though if it's because
Tim Holt was there with him
825
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:25,700
because he pulls the money out
of that guy's wallet and he's
826
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:28,200
counting it out and he says
like, you know what does he owe
827
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,400
us 300 and then Tim Holtz says
yes.
828
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,300
And then he says okay and part
of me wonders if Fred see Jobs
829
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:39,100
had beat that guy up on his own.
Would he have felt the need to
830
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:41,600
be as upstanding?
Or would he have just robbed
831
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,700
that guy blind and I love that
you said Fred C Dobbs there.
832
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,400
I think one of the best
caricatures of his character is
833
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,400
when Humphrey Bogart says a few
times throughout the movie.
834
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,800
Well I'm Fred C Dobbs and I have
my rights and he says it like he
835
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,100
is somebody like you're supposed
to know his name, right?
836
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,600
But just going back to that
fight scene, you know the first
837
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,000
First thing, I wrote down in my
notes was about the guy that
838
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,600
they beat up because he starts
the fight, he knows he's
839
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,600
cornered and he hits, I think
Bogart like over the head with a
840
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,600
bottle and the first thing I
wrote was, why would that guy
841
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,500
throw a punch against two guys?
Like knowing he's going to lose
842
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,900
and I came to the realization
that like this fight.
843
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:27,700
Scene is a foreshadowing of the
whole movie because that guy is
844
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:31,700
so greedy and so protective of
his money that he will get
845
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:35,300
himself in a fight that he knows
he And win just to try to
846
00:43:35,300 --> 00:43:37,500
protect what little bit of money
he has.
847
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,100
And it shows early early on the
lengths, people will go when
848
00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:46,100
they become obsessed with wealth
with money with gold.
849
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:49,100
It was actually a really, really
interesting piece of
850
00:43:49,100 --> 00:43:52,000
foreshadowing that you might not
have seen like on first glance.
851
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:55,800
Yeah, I really was interested by
John Huston's choice to split
852
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,400
the movie into that.
You have that foreshadowing.
853
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,500
I mean it's like 40 minutes of
the movie when he's kind of a
854
00:44:02,508 --> 00:44:05,900
hobo and he finds that At job
working on the oil rig and then
855
00:44:05,900 --> 00:44:09,000
they beat that guy up and that
kind of transitions you into the
856
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,900
second half of the movie.
But like you said, the first
857
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:17,900
little bit of the movie is a
full, you know, foreshadowing of
858
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:21,400
what's going to happen in the
entire second half of the movie
859
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,900
and you're right.
That is it's a brilliant use of
860
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:27,400
foreshadowing that you don't
even realize until after the
861
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,500
movie when you're talking about
it on a podcast.
862
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,800
Yeah for sure.
And I think part of that goes
863
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,000
back to the fact that this movie
was a Opted from a novel of the
864
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,300
same name and as you watch it
play out on screen.
865
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:41,800
You really do understand that.
Like yeah this definitely came
866
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,500
from a book because if this was
an original screenplay I can
867
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:48,200
just see some.
You know, some executive
868
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,100
somewhere saying, cut this cut
this cut.
869
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:53,900
This get us out into the
Wilderness quicker, but they
870
00:44:53,900 --> 00:44:56,600
really take their time.
Setting up the themes of the
871
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,600
movie and as you watch it, you
may not understand exactly where
872
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,300
it's going because it does seem
like it takes forever to get out
873
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:04,400
there.
But Once they get out there,
874
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,700
they can get you plunged really
quickly into the greed, the
875
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:12,200
suspicion, the denials the
frustration, the jealousy
876
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,900
because they've set those things
up so well on the front end of
877
00:45:14,900 --> 00:45:17,000
the movie.
Yeah, I will say one of my
878
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,600
frustrations with the movie is
that there are certain times
879
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,400
where Humphrey Bogart's
character makes assumptions.
880
00:45:23,900 --> 00:45:28,400
That I I just shake my head at
and I'm like man like you're
881
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,400
jumping at shadows and not in a
way that would make any logical
882
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,700
sense.
But Maybe that's the whole point
883
00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:37,900
is to say that you know, the
Greed for gold brings about
884
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,900
Madness and you know illogical
thinking, I don't know, I
885
00:45:41,900 --> 00:45:44,600
struggle with some of those
scenes as well and for me it was
886
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,800
because I didn't think the
writing was fantastic.
887
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,900
Like the dialogue didn't sound
natural and Bogart does his best
888
00:45:50,900 --> 00:45:54,400
with that but there's so many
times where he's like ah yes I
889
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,500
see that your plan all along was
for me to get descended upon by
890
00:45:57,500 --> 00:46:01,600
Bandits and it's like who thinks
to talk like that when you
891
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,500
haven't slept in four hours?
Yeah.
892
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,700
Yeah, that that is the best way
of putting it.
893
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:09,600
A lot of the dialogue just felt
stilted whenever he was getting
894
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,800
angry and upset about things but
I will say that I do think from
895
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:18,100
a director standpoint Houston
does such a good job of
896
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,700
introducing this kind of
creeping sense of dread that you
897
00:46:21,700 --> 00:46:25,000
know, something's coming and it
really happens well in the
898
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,300
close-ups that he uses like I'm
thinking about the shots in one
899
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:32,600
of the first nights when they're
all back in the tent and they
900
00:46:32,607 --> 00:46:35,200
decide to split.
All the gold up three ways and
901
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,700
you see Walter Huston pouring
the gold into the bags and
902
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:42,400
they're all watching the bags.
They they're already like
903
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,600
licking their lips, looking at
this gold and then you see their
904
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,600
eyes dart back and forth to each
other.
905
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,700
And it's like they're already
suspicious of each other.
906
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:55,200
And, you know, like, right from
that point on, there's no way
907
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,300
this can end.
Well, yeah, there's something
908
00:46:57,300 --> 00:46:58,600
about the directing in this
movie.
909
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,100
I loved the, the phrase you use
the creeping sense of dread
910
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:05,300
this.
V really reminded me of an
911
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:10,000
Alfred Hitchcock movie it with
his use of Silence, with his use
912
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,000
of, you know, slight bits of
humor to like offset.
913
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,500
The, the horror that, you know,
is about to unfold like, the
914
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:21,600
entire time, you know, something
bad is going to happen and it's
915
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,600
a suspenseful movie and I
haven't seen a suspenseful movie
916
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,800
like that outside of many
Hitchcock films.
917
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,300
I actually think that's a really
good comparison because
918
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:34,400
Hitchcock, really like to toy.
With the audience.
919
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,100
And, you know, a lot of times
you walk that fine line between
920
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:41,300
really suspenseful horrific
things and really Darkly funny
921
00:47:41,300 --> 00:47:45,500
things and I feel like there's
one scene in this movie, you
922
00:47:45,500 --> 00:47:49,100
know, the scene where they've
all hidden their goods out in
923
00:47:49,100 --> 00:47:51,200
the wilderness.
And they don't want each other
924
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,500
to find out where all their
goods are hidden and one night,
925
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:56,600
you know, one of the characters
wakes up and one of the other
926
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,500
characters is you know, out
relieving himself or something
927
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:03,800
and it starts this scene where
each guy has to get up and go
928
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,300
out and check on whether his
goods are still there.
929
00:48:06,300 --> 00:48:09,000
And then the other guys are
waking up and getting suspicious
930
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:12,300
and at its core.
That's a comedy scene.
931
00:48:12,300 --> 00:48:14,700
Like, that's the kind of thing.
You would see in like a Marx
932
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:18,500
Brothers movie, but Houston,
takes it and the actors play it.
933
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:20,900
So straight that it plays for
suspense.
934
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,200
It's a really, really
suspenseful scene but at its
935
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,500
heart like it's actually a
comedy routine.
936
00:48:26,900 --> 00:48:30,500
Oh, for sure, there, you could
see the Three Stooges doing that
937
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:33,400
exact same scene, but they'd be
moving a lot faster.
938
00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:35,500
And everybody would be laughing
at them.
939
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:38,700
Yeah for sure.
Houston uses it but Houston uses
940
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:41,800
it in such a way that you you
just kind of feel it's creeping.
941
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,100
Dread of, you know, is one of
them going to shoot each other
942
00:48:44,100 --> 00:48:47,700
in the middle of the night, you
know, what's going to happen and
943
00:48:47,700 --> 00:48:50,700
I think that kind of gets us
into like our final analysis on
944
00:48:50,707 --> 00:48:52,400
the movie.
You know, I've said a couple
945
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,200
times at this is a really
cynical movie and I don't know
946
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,000
if cynical is the right word,
but I've spent a lot of time
947
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,500
trying to figure out the overall
message of the movie.
948
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:03,400
Is it just that greed corrupts
or is there something more?
949
00:49:03,500 --> 00:49:07,200
Going on because you know Brad
hinted at this earlier in the
950
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,800
episode.
The end of the movie is that it
951
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,500
ends up that.
Humphrey Bogart tries to kill
952
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:18,200
Tim Holtz character Holt doesn't
actually die, but Bogart ends up
953
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,900
with all of the gold and then he
gets descended upon by Bandits.
954
00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:24,500
They murder him, the bandits
don't recognize that.
955
00:49:24,500 --> 00:49:26,500
The gold is what's actually in
the bags, they think.
956
00:49:26,500 --> 00:49:29,900
It's just, you know, dust and
they scatter it to the winds
957
00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:33,300
Walter Huston and Tim Holt come
riding into town and they find
958
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:35,300
out.
All their gold is gone and they
959
00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:40,600
laugh at the irony of everything
and on face value, it kind of
960
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,300
seems like a really nihilistic
ending, like all of this has
961
00:49:44,300 --> 00:49:47,100
been for nothing.
It doesn't really seem to give a
962
00:49:47,107 --> 00:49:51,700
lot of Hope about what all of
our work is for, in life.
963
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
I think that for me, I read a
more positive ending into the
964
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,500
movie that, you know, all the
wealth in the world is not worth
965
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:14,000
the value of your soul.
Oh boy, it's a great job paid on
966
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,300
this for the Lord or faint,
their nature, whatever you
967
00:50:16,300 --> 00:50:18,600
prefer.
But whoever or whatever plan is
968
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,200
turned, the in a sense of humor,
the gold is gone back to where
969
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:40,000
we found it.
And Humphrey Bogart loses his
970
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,200
soul, to the corruption of
wealth.
971
00:50:42,700 --> 00:50:47,100
And, you know, Tim Holtz is able
to resist that, and he's able to
972
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:50,300
go on to do good in the world,
you know, Walter Walter
973
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:52,500
Houston's character, says, hey,
I'm going to give you all the
974
00:50:52,508 --> 00:50:55,800
money that we get from selling
the donkeys and, and pretty much
975
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,100
everything that I have.
And why don't you go up to, to
976
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:05,000
Texas and call on the Widow of
Man that we kind of in a sense,
977
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,800
killed right?
And, you know, pay her respects
978
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,900
and tell her about how her
husband died.
979
00:51:10,100 --> 00:51:12,400
And then why don't you go off,
you know, and enjoy what you
980
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,000
wanted.
Enjoy all along, which was
981
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,300
peaches and fruit season.
Yeah, and I think that a good
982
00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:20,300
microcosm of that is even
earlier in the movie, when that
983
00:51:20,300 --> 00:51:24,900
fourth guy, Cody dies and it
happens in the course of Bandits
984
00:51:24,900 --> 00:51:28,600
coming to attack their camp, and
they fight all the bandits off
985
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,400
and they're like in the midst of
celebrating winning this battle.
986
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:34,700
Oh, and then they look down and
they remember that there's a
987
00:51:34,700 --> 00:51:37,300
dead guy there at their feet and
it's there, you know, this guy
988
00:51:37,300 --> 00:51:41,600
Cody and they just kind of look
at his dead body and say like,
989
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,100
oh, what are we going to do with
this and Bogart looks down?
990
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:48,600
And says, oh yeah, him and it
reminds you that in Dobbs is
991
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,200
eyes.
Human life, ultimately is really
992
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,400
cheap.
Like he doesn't care.
993
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,300
One, bit about that guy.
And then you see Tim Holt pull
994
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:57,600
the letter out of his pocket,
read the letter, it gives that
995
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,300
character a backstory and it
reminds you even at that point.
996
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:06,200
That there are some things that
are more important than the
997
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,900
pursuit of wealth, the pursuit
of gold and Dobbs, clearly
998
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:13,100
doesn't see it even if the other
two guys do and I think that
999
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:17,300
that truly is the moral of this
story is that there are, there's
1000
00:52:17,300 --> 00:52:21,400
things more valuable in this
world than money and wealth.
1001
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,500
And that it's not worth giving
up your soul for something that
1002
00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:30,200
is so transitory and you have it
one day and you lose it, the
1003
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,100
next and that the The important
things in this world are
1004
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:36,700
valuing.
Human life of caring for one,
1005
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:40,000
another of truly taking care of
one another in this life.
1006
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,700
And you see that in Tim, you
know, Tim Holt and you see the
1007
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:46,900
lack of it and Humphrey, Bogart,
and the movie tells you what
1008
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,700
each type of life gets.
Yeah.
1009
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,600
So Brad, why don't we go ahead
and score this bad boy out.
1010
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,400
I'm excited to hear what you
thought of it.
1011
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,100
What kind of a score?
Would you?
1012
00:52:56,100 --> 00:52:58,600
Give this movie out of 10?
And would you recommend it?
1013
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,700
Yeah, I mean, starting with the
bad there are certain parts of
1014
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,300
This movie where, you know,
Walter Huston is hammin it up
1015
00:53:04,300 --> 00:53:07,900
and he's looking at the camera.
He's also doing some sort of
1016
00:53:07,900 --> 00:53:10,300
weird Medicine Man.
Ritual with this little boy,
1017
00:53:10,300 --> 00:53:12,900
where he's raising his arms up
into town and like we didn't
1018
00:53:12,900 --> 00:53:15,800
even talk about that.
Like that scene for me.
1019
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,400
First of all, it's like 48
minutes long.
1020
00:53:18,500 --> 00:53:19,900
It's so long.
Yes.
1021
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:22,400
And, and when you look at what
he's actually doing, like,
1022
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,300
literally, all he's doing is
making the kid.
1023
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:28,000
Do like jumping jacks and that's
like his, that's his form of
1024
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,800
medicine.
Yeah, I Walter Huston knows how
1025
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,900
to do a magic.
That I have no clue about so
1026
00:53:34,900 --> 00:53:38,200
there's certain things like that
and certain parts of Humphrey
1027
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,000
Bogart's dialogue that we
already said was pretty rough
1028
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,100
when he gets kind of maniacal.
So it's not a perfect movie.
1029
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,500
However is it a 9 out of 10?
Yes.
1030
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,400
Like this is a phenomenal movie
it tells a good story and I
1031
00:53:53,408 --> 00:53:58,200
think it offers a very important
message that is applicable to
1032
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,600
All Humans in all times.
Yeah I'd go one step further.
1033
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,300
Than that, you know, this used
to be at one point in my life.
1034
00:54:04,300 --> 00:54:07,300
This was like, in my top 10
movies of all time, I do think
1035
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:10,800
I've come down a little bit
since then, but I would still
1036
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,900
get this movie a 9 and a half.
You know, if you remove that
1037
00:54:13,900 --> 00:54:18,800
ridiculous breaking the fourth
wall by Walter Huston and some
1038
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,200
of those lines of dialogue, like
you said, this movie is nearly
1039
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,000
perfect and it was doing
something at a time where
1040
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,500
movies.
Just didn't do it like filming
1041
00:54:28,500 --> 00:54:31,600
on location getting into this
really, really harsh.
1042
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:36,100
Cynical.
Look at greed and the brutality
1043
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:39,200
of violence is stuff.
You didn't see in a movie in
1044
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,400
1948, and that I think is what
helps it hold up in 2019.
1045
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,800
So I'm going to give this movie
a nine and a half, that brings
1046
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,500
our average out to a 9.25.
So, I think we'd both definitely
1047
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:54,200
recommend this movie.
Yeah, highly recommend.
1048
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,800
And and like I said earlier, in
this movie about like, Clint
1049
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,000
Eastwood.
You don't have the gritty
1050
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:04,000
realism of Clint Eastwood.
If you Don't have, you know, the
1051
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,300
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
for sure.
1052
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,100
But we want to know what you

I'm Bob book, I'm Brad, she will
see you next time.
1071
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,800
There is one thing I want to say
about Humphrey Bogart is there a
1072
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,400
way that I can like lead into
it?
1073
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,400
Or is it just going to be like a
random observation?
1074
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,600
Probably probably a random
observation.
1075
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:43,100
You're so mysterious.
Yeah, you know me so.
1076
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:45,500
Well now I'm just going to say
he looks exactly like Hugh
1077
00:56:45,500 --> 00:56:48,400
Jackman.
What he look.
1078
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,200
Are you serious in?
Oh 100%, he looks exactly like
1079
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,700
Hugh Jackman with a beard.
You're insane man.
1080
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,400
Have you seen him without know?
He looks like a potato Humphrey
1081
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,800
Bogart or You Jackman Humphrey
Bogart Hugh Jackman looks like
1082
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,800
he was chiseled by the gods.
What do you Humphrey?
1083
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:09,000
Bogart looks like if you if you
melted the plastic on a mr.
1084
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:14,200
Potato Head.
And then left a man and then
1085
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,000
left it to baked in the hot.
Mexican Sun for months for 10
1086
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,400
months.
In a gold mine.
1087
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:22,700
Exactly.
If you just look at his face in
1088
00:57:22,700 --> 00:57:26,900
this movie, he looks exactly
like Hugh Jackman with a beard.
1089
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,300
I'm gonna make a pull out of
this audience to Graham, we're
1090
00:57:29,308 --> 00:57:31,500
gonna see what people think this
is going to be the outtake for
1091
00:57:31,500 --> 00:57:37,400
this episode perfect.
Hello.
1092
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,500
Hi.
Do you like bad movies?
1093
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:42,200
Do you find yourself defending
bad movies saying things like?
1094
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:46,200
Well, the soundtrack was, okay,
or the costumes were pretty fun
1095
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,500
from the previous host of.
It's not that bad podcast.
1096
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:51,500
We bring you fresh tomatoes, the
movie podcast from Simone LaRue,
1097
00:57:51,500 --> 00:57:54,500
and Shadow covers every week.
We review two movies that did
1098
00:57:54,500 --> 00:57:57,000
not do well critically.
What we say, hey, there are some
1099
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,700
nice things about them, maybe
Rotten Tomatoes was wrong, maybe
