Top Fives: IMDb Was Wrong
In the latest installment of their Top Fives series, Bob and Brad shine a light on some underrated favorites. These are films that IMDb users voted a 6.5 or lower on a 10-point scale, but that our hosts would award at least an 8.0.
Meanwhile, they sip on two whiskeys from Spirits of French Lick, an Indiana distillery making waves in the world of craft whiskey. These bottled-in-bond bourbons include a buckwheat bourbon, which is certainly the first time our hosts have used those words.

00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:02,000
Hey everybody, Welcome to the
podcast.
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,600
We are back with another special
bonus episode.
3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,100
Bonus episode food.
Oh, that was nice.
4
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:14,200
He had a nice little like a
barbershop quartet tag at the
5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,800
end their bonus episode.
All right.
6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Well we are not talking about
barbershop quartets today we're
7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,700
actually bringing back our top
fives series, which Brad we
8
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:30,100
haven't done one of these in a
while and we need to do Do a
9
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:32,000
more often.
I love doing the top fives.
10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,300
Yeah I mean and I'm really
excited.
11
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:37,500
Today's topic is top 5.
Movies about barbershop
12
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,100
quartets.
There it is.
13
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:42,300
I don't know I don't know if
there are five movies about I'm
14
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,200
just trying to think.
I was racking my brain and I do
15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,100
picks top five bottle tops
barbershop quartet by hope
16
00:00:50,108 --> 00:00:51,900
picks.
That's it man.
17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,100
So today we're actually doing
top 5 movies that we love but
18
00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:00,300
that IMDb does not like so Brad
actually Out to me.
19
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,000
And we were kind of talking
about this because the theme of
20
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:06,900
season 5 on this show is just
kind of like personal favorites
21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,900
or movies.
We want to revisit to see if
22
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:12,600
they hold up and a lot of times
what we've come across is, you
23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,700
know, a movie like Signs, the M
Night Shyamalan film which I
24
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:18,400
think on IMDb only has like a
six point eight.
25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,200
And I mean I just found that
shocking because I gave it like
26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,100
at least a nine.
I think Brad you gave it a 9 as
27
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,800
well.
Like there's certain movies that
28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,800
for some reason it doesn't seem
to click with the general.
29
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:35,300
Public, but it does with us.
Yeah, I think that there's just
30
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:39,400
this reality that the general
public sucks.
31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,900
It wrong all the time, aren't
they?
32
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:44,800
And the proof of it is in the is
in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,800
pudding, man.
Listen, I went to see no way
34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,900
home.
Just the other day.
35
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,400
I finally got around to it.
Finally jumped on the bandwagon.
36
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:52,300
It was good.
I did.
37
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:53,600
You feel it?
Was, who's good?
38
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,300
Who's that sitting here?
Yeah, it's good but good movie
39
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,700
times were had.
Yeah, as they always are with
40
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:04,100
Marvel.
Here's the thing, I feel bad dog
41
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:07,600
and on the MCU so much because
they genuinely put out like
42
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:12,900
anywhere from like C plus to a
minus movies like really
43
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,000
consistently like they put out a
lot of good work.
44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,600
The problem.
The two problems I have is that
45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,300
a they are treated like every
film is an A-Plus work and B,
46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,300
they just destroy everything
else.
47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,300
Like people act as if the MCU
does if the MCU doesn't do well
48
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:34,700
then that's like bad for Cinema
and I'm like no the fact that
49
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:39,200
y'all won't go see literally
anything else in theaters but
50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,100
only Marvel movies.
That's like that's probably the
51
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:44,300
biggest problem.
And what's going to destroy
52
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:47,200
Cinema in the next five, you
upset, we get down this Rabbit
53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Hole again.
I don't know man.
54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,900
Every single time we press
record, we are, like, you're
55
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,100
putting them on trial.
I don't understand, we're here
56
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:58,900
to do a top 5 episode man, and
it doesn't have anything to do
57
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,500
with the FCC.
All right, so the criteria When
58
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,600
Brad reached out to me, he said
what would you think about doing
59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,900
a top five where on IMDb we have
rated a movie at an eight or
60
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:15,300
higher and IMDb users in general
have rated it at it lower than a
61
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:18,300
6.5 like that was the criteria
right?
62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,300
Yeah.
That that was the beginning of
63
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,700
the criteria.
Honestly, I had a hard time
64
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:25,700
finding movies that fit into
that criteria.
65
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,200
So all of mine are under a 7.0 I
The highest score I have is a
66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,800
six point eight.
So, for the most part I would
67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,400
say that once you hit like 7.5
and up that's pretty hard to do
68
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,100
on IMDb right once.
But once you hit like, six point
69
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,400
seven, six point eight and
Below.
70
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,700
That's usually a sign that
people don't like this movie.
71
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:53,700
Yeah.
See, I'm in the opposite.
72
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,100
Boat is you, man?
Because I think I have like nine
73
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,600
or ten movies that met the
criteria that I'm trying to
74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,700
figure out which ones would be.
My top five.
75
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:02,800
So I'm really doing this on the
Fly today.
76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,100
I don't know if there's going to
be any Rhyme or Reason to my
77
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,000
list but I'm excited to jump
into it.
78
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:11,200
And while we do it today we have
two whiskies that were sent to
79
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,500
us from a fantastic.
Distillery in Indiana called
80
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:17,500
spirits of French Lick.
They have really been making a
81
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:20,500
name for themselves in the
craft, Distillery industry.
82
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,700
The last few years, I have heard
nothing but Raves from people,
83
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,800
like every time I see people
release year-end lists with
84
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
their favorite, whiskies spirits
of French Lick is always On
85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,100
there.
So we were sent samples of their
86
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:34,400
whiskey that's called The
Morning Glory which is a buck
87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,700
wheat bourbon and then we've
also been sent a sample of their
88
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:42,000
William Dalton weeded bourbon.
So two completely different
89
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
flavor profiles.
I would imagine Brad, but I'm
90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,300
excited to try them both.
Yeah I love seeing whiskey
91
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:52,100
coming out of Indiana.
That isn't sourced in Indiana.
92
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:56,800
You know what I mean?
Yes, that's actually coming from
93
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,900
something that that isn't a
conglomerate.
94
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:02,000
Yes.
Yes, I'm really pumped to get
95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,200
into this today.
All right, man.
96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,100
Well, let's let's jump into it
then why don't you kick us off
97
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,300
with your number five movie?
You love that, the general
98
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:14,400
public does not number five for
me.
99
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:20,000
This movie I genuinely did not
expect to find on this list but
100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,700
the movie Click Adam Sandler.
Kate Beckinsale 2000 and want to
101
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:31,700
say like five or six dude.
I remember watching this movie
102
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:36,500
as a 15, 16 year-old and
thinking to myself, I've never
103
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:41,600
seen a movie go from being, like
complete comedy for the first
104
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,600
half of the movie to like tear
jerker Drama by the end of the
105
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,100
film.
I, this movie Wrecked me, and I
106
00:05:51,108 --> 00:05:54,500
think one of the reasons I love
this movie so much, and I would
107
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,600
probably give it like, a seven
and a half to an eight.
108
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
It's, there's a lot of flaws.
It's Much so an Adam Sandler
109
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,900
movie.
But what I really loved about
110
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:08,200
this movie was that it forced
you to think about what are the
111
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,300
things you're skipping over in
life.
112
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:16,000
And honestly, the more we get
into a social media era, I feel
113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,200
like this movie was prescient
like my wife tells me about her
114
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,400
friends at work, who will sit on
Tick Tock and scroll Tick Tock,
115
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,000
while they're having
conversations with her.
116
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,700
Hmm.
And that's just mind boggling.
117
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,500
Lie to me that, like in my mind,
that is literally like, pressing
118
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,000
the fast-forward button on your
life, just skipping over things.
119
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Michael was eagerly awaiting,
the arrival of his lunch order
120
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,700
was that James, Earl Jones,
James hell does a lot of
121
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:46,800
voiceover work, because
anticipation quickly turned to
122
00:06:46,808 --> 00:06:50,700
dismay, as a realized Alice had
brought him a cheeseburger to
123
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,400
serve a hamburger.
As we request a cheeseburger, I
124
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800
said, a hamburger.
She always does this.
125
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,400
To me, might be considered
demanding.
126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,100
That Alice grated cheese off,
but decided, Hearing that Alice
127
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,200
May spit in or otherwise,
defiled, a burger.
128
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,600
In some manner, a wise decision
for, that was exactly what Alice
129
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,900
was planning to do.
Ha, ha ha.
130
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,700
And so I just, I really like
click.
131
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,900
I think it has a really
important message and barring a
132
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:24,700
lot of the fart joke, type of
humor that's in the movie II.
133
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:28,600
Do not think this deserves a 6.4
know, you know, like that's the
134
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,700
thing.
It's not a great movie.
135
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,900
She but I really think that
everything that it does, it does
136
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:35,400
very well.
And the emotion towards the end
137
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,100
of the movie is really earned
and you know people have
138
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:41,000
commented before on how Adam
Sandler, when he does dramatic
139
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,100
stuff, he's a really good actor
and I think the earnestness
140
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,800
coming from him and especially
from Henry Winkler in that scene
141
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,600
where, you know, I mean I think
you know what scene I'm talking
142
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000
about.
But he's fast forward to the
143
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,800
point where like his dad is an
old man and he's gonna die, and
144
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,100
it's going to be the last time
he sees his dad and he just
145
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,800
outright reject spending time.
With him and you have Young Adam
146
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,300
Sandler like standing in the
middle of this, kind of, you
147
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:08,100
know, DVD fast forward scene of
his own life, like shouting at
148
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:10,000
his dad, like, please come back.
I'm sorry.
149
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:12,500
Oh, my gosh, dude is like that's
your right, dude.
150
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:15,600
That scene wrecked me, so, so
good.
151
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,900
So yeah, man.
I'm glad you put that one on
152
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:20,900
here because even though it's
not anywhere near approaching
153
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:23,100
like a 10/10 movie.
I definitely think it's above a
154
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:25,100
6.4.
Yeah.
155
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:27,800
And honestly, I figured I'd get
you with that father-son
156
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,600
relationship right off the bat,
you know, me.
157
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,799
So well, you know, me so well.
So for my number five, Brad, I'm
158
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,700
actually going to go into a
genre of movie that we've we've,
159
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:38,700
I don't want to say, we've
avoided talking about on this
160
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:41,600
show but we've really not dipped
our toes into it.
161
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:44,600
And that is the world of the
quote-unquote, Christian movie,
162
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,800
you know.
Brad and I are, oh man, yeah
163
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,700
Brad and I are both, you know,
ostensibly pastors.
164
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:52,900
We've both worked in churches,
we both went to Seminary, we
165
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:56,500
have M divs A stamina sensibly,
you know whether or not you're
166
00:08:56,500 --> 00:09:00,800
paid, I don't know.
Movie that I want to talk about
167
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,000
is a film that came out just a
few years ago and it's called
168
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,800
risen.
And the concept of the movie is
169
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,200
it's told from the perspective
of a Roman Centurion who has
170
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,200
basically been assigned to track
down the body of Jesus after it
171
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,400
disappears from the tomb.
So it's told from the
172
00:09:17,408 --> 00:09:19,800
perspective of the Romans and
the Romans think that Jesus's
173
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,100
body has been stolen obviously.
And it's you know, it's a
174
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,300
fictional story and towards the
end he discovers what really
175
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,600
happened with Jesus and man, I
gotta say so.
176
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,700
Many of these like Cristiano
movies.
177
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:35,500
Now are designed for the lowest
common denominator they're made
178
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:37,900
for no money.
They have like very few,
179
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:40,600
professional actors in them.
Like if you've ever seen the
180
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,700
God's Not Dead series, I
apologize to you on behalf of
181
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,500
Christians everywhere because
it's horrific and horrendous.
182
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,600
And this movie, I just feel like
it had such a more Deft hand
183
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,400
behind it.
Like, the production values are
184
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,200
there, but you can tell it's not
like the biggest budget movie
185
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,000
ever made, but like, It has real
actors in it, which is a huge
186
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,900
plus.
And, you know, there's a really
187
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,800
poignant scene towards the end
of the film where that century
188
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,200
and finds Jesus alive again and
watching him kind of walk into
189
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,400
this room where Jesus is
teaching people and, and the
190
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,000
reality of what's going on
around him, setting in whether
191
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,700
or not you're a Christian,
whether or not you believe, in
192
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:25,500
any of that, if you're able to,
even take this story on face
193
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:28,700
value for what it is, the places
that the story is going.
194
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,100
I thought this was an incredibly
rewarding movie.
195
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,600
It's one of the very few in that
sort of like contemporary
196
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,500
Christian movie.
Genres that I really enjoyed.
197
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,100
So that's my number five.
It's called risen.
198
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,800
If it makes you feel any better?
God is not dead.
199
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:48,500
Has a 5.0 on IMDb versus the 6.3
that risen has.
200
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,700
There it is, man.
Both still failing grades in any
201
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:55,800
glass in America, you know, but
also, I will say, when you said,
202
00:10:56,100 --> 00:11:00,900
when you describe the movie as a
Roman centurions, Trying to find
203
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:04,500
Jesus.
I really just now want to see a
204
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:10,400
1952 like knockoff of film Noir
and have like this, like a
205
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,900
private eye, like private eye
who's been hired on the down low
206
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:18,300
by King Herod to, like find
Jesus.
207
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800
The either that or we need like
a National Treasure movie.
208
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,300
That's set back in in Roman
times and then you just have
209
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,500
Nick Cage saying I'm gonna steal
the body of Jesus and that's
210
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:34,300
the, that's the hook.
Yeah dude I am 100% in.
211
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,700
All right man, what's your
number for my number for movie
212
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:41,100
Bob you.
You kind of ruined it for me as
213
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:45,900
you do a lot of things.
Good signs has a 6.7.
214
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,300
I hate to tell you that you were
wrong about it went down since
215
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:53,500
the last people that listen to
our episode like went and bombed
216
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:57,400
that IMDb account afterwards.
Yeah, they must have it is a six
217
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,200
point seven out of ten.
I Probably should have done the
218
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,700
work and looked up, what I gave
it.
219
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,700
I think I gave it a 9, maybe an
eight and a half that it's still
220
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:10,000
Bonkers to me.
Honestly, we don't need to spend
221
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,300
much time talking about it.
Hey, go watch the movie.
222
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:16,900
Be go listen to the episode that
we recorded on it because
223
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:20,900
science is a phenomenal movie.
And if you're willing to stop
224
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:26,000
looking at Shyamalan as the
twist director, if you're
225
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,800
willing to start, looking at him
as a director of human, And
226
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,000
chips and and how humans deal
with trauma.
227
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:36,400
You will have a phenomenal
experience with that movie.
228
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,900
Yeah, so go check it out.
All right, man, for my number
229
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,300
four, I'm actually going to go
with the movie that just came
230
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:46,900
out what, 3 years ago now, and
it made absolutely no dent in
231
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,800
the box office and no one talked
about it and the critics
232
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,000
immediately dismissed it, but it
was, it was positioned as kind
233
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,100
of an Oscar e movie starring
Hugh Jackman and the movies
234
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,500
called the front-runner.
And it's a true story about a
235
00:12:58,508 --> 00:13:01,900
politician.
In the 1990s, late 80s, early
236
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:05,700
90s, I think who got caught up
in a sex scandal and, you know,
237
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:09,300
it ruined his whole his whole
career and the way the movie
238
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:13,400
unfolds, you kind of aren't sure
at first, if he really is, you
239
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,800
know, cheating on his wife and
you find out obviously that he
240
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,000
is, but it was such a clever
movie to come out kind of at the
241
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,700
time that it did, because it was
released into a very charged
242
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:28,000
political climate in 2018.
But, it also, I don't know.
243
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,700
It's just so interesting to see
the way.
244
00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:32,600
The way that they portrayed it
and, you know, the factual
245
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,800
elements of that story.
I think the guy's name was Gary
246
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,700
Hart to see what would bring a
politician democrat or
247
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:42,600
republican down in the 90s
versus what would what brings a
248
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,100
politician down now?
Like it seems like such a minor
249
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,700
little hiccup, you know, that
would be like a bump in the road
250
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,100
of a politician's journey.
Now and I'll tell you what, man,
251
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,600
I loved this movie, it might be
in my opinion.
252
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,200
The best performance Hugh
Jackman has ever given.
253
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
I thought that, you know, for
the most part they Didn't try
254
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,400
too hard to draw parallels to,
you know, the political climate
255
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,500
of 2018.
There were a couple moments that
256
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,200
I was like, all right, you could
have cut that line, but I walked
257
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,400
out of that movie, I gave it a 9
out of 10 and on IMDb it has a
258
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,700
6.1, so the critics didn't care
for it.
259
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,000
The general public didn't care
for it but almost everything
260
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,300
about that movie worked for me.
And again, if you're a fan of
261
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:24,800
Hugh Jackman, I think you owe it
to yourself just to watch that
262
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,100
performance because it was
really, really excellent.
263
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:33,000
Yeah, I think that there is A
fascination with tabloid type
264
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
news that almost leads into this
perverse place of like well if
265
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,200
famous people are having Affairs
then you know it's okay for us
266
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,800
to do it too and like you said
after 3040 years of that, we're
267
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:53,800
finally at a place where you can
get away with so much as a
268
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,300
politician and the general
Public's like me right.
269
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:01,500
You know, that's fine.
It genuinely makes me think
270
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:07,300
about the the local city
councilman from dexhart from
271
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:14,900
Parks and Rec like just just
Google like best of debt Council
272
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:19,500
councilman dexhart because he
just says exemplifies the the
273
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:23,400
parody of a politician who just
doesn't give a ring.
274
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,300
I love I love in one episode.
His whole defense he goes like
275
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:32,000
in my defense I was really horny
and then Exactly.
276
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,500
So let me ask you this bread.
Before we move into our first
277
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:38,200
whiskey for the day, have you
seen or even heard of either of
278
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,100
my first two movies on this
list?
279
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,100
That would be a negatory,
Robert?
280
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:43,200
Okay.
I didn't know if you might have
281
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,700
heard of risen because of, you
know, we're almost kind of
282
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:49,300
circles.
But I mean, I've heard of the
283
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:53,200
word risen and I did, I would
relate that to my Lord and
284
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,500
Savior.
Jesus Christ.
285
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,900
And I have heard of a
front-runner before.
286
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:01,300
Usually it refers to somebody
who's Like in the lead in a
287
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,000
race.
See there it is.
288
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,700
So and it's a double meaning
because it also means someone
289
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:10,400
who is trying to deceive you and
so, yeah.
290
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,500
Do you get it?
Mmm.
291
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:15,900
Yeah, that's amazing man.
They're so smart also, whoever
292
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:20,100
named it should have taken over
the subtitle, because the
293
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:24,900
subtitle for the front-runner is
the week, America went tabloid.
294
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:28,600
That's that's terrible.
That's the worst tag line I've
295
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,000
ever heard.
It's, it might be the greatest
296
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,600
though.
All right.
297
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,500
Think about it.
Some more.
298
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:34,500
Let's take a break.
Let's try the first of these two
299
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:35,800
whiskies.
Which one do you want to jump
300
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,200
into first, the buckwheat
bourbon or the weeded bourbon?
301
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,100
I mean, let's go for The Unique,
man.
302
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:42,600
I've never had a buck wheat
bourbon.
303
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:49,800
All right, let's get to it.
All right, so the first one
304
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,400
we're trying today is called the
Morning Glory.
305
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,800
This is a it's called a Kasha
Bourbon and Brad.
306
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,100
I have just literally just now
just learned that Kasha is what
307
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,700
you call Buckwheat when it has
been toasted.
308
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:05,500
So this is a bourbon that
contains all of the essential
309
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:09,000
bourbon ingredients and it also
includes Kasha and then
310
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,599
untoasted buckwheat as well.
So the mash bill is composed of
311
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:19,800
66% corn, 12% ri6 10% Kasha and
then 2% buckwheat 4% malt.
312
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,300
So if you consider the Kasha and
the on toasted buckwheat two
313
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,700
separate grains than we're
dealing with a five grain Mash
314
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:28,000
bill here Brad.
This is a bottled and bond
315
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,500
bourbon.
So it's four years old, at
316
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,100
least, four years old.
This one was actually barreled
317
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:34,200
in 2016.
It looks like it was dumped in
318
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,200
2021, so it's five years old and
it was aged in number two.
319
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,500
Char barrels come in at 100
proof as bottled and bond
320
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:44,500
Whiskey's do man.
This has a beautiful color to
321
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:45,000
it.
Brad.
322
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:45,700
Yeah.
Yeah.
323
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:50,500
The the I mean you can only say
Amber and so many different ways
324
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:56,000
but there's a depth of quality
to this and the legs are just
325
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,600
whoo.
Yeah.
326
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,500
Yeah, no man.
I mean is a beautiful was really
327
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:02,000
is the word though because it
has this really nice almost like
328
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200
orangie kind of hue to it.
I'm excited to give it a nose at
329
00:18:05,208 --> 00:18:06,900
a taste Brad.
Why don't you tell me what
330
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:10,100
you're picking up on the nose
here honestly you get like a
331
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:15,200
hint of caramel and vanilla and
then you get all sorts of like
332
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:18,300
toes.
Did bread, not even bread.
333
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:21,600
You put in the toaster.
I'm talking like a taken baked
334
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:26,000
loaf of bread and you put in
your oven and it comes out fresh
335
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,500
and you, you bake it just a
little too long.
336
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:32,800
So the crust is as nice and
crunchy, like, that's the kind
337
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,300
of bread I'm thinking about
here.
338
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,600
I really love this knows.
Yeah, for me, I think that the
339
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,400
Rye and the molt really come out
on this.
340
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Like it has, it doesn't smell
like a young whiskey, but it has
341
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,200
this kind of I don't know if
there's a graininess to it, that
342
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,300
is clearly not corn.
You know what I mean?
343
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,400
And I don't want to call like
The Malt and the Rye likes our
344
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,600
grains because that's not what
I, what I'm getting here.
345
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,500
There's just an earthiness to
this one that it doesn't smell
346
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:01,700
like a typical Bourbon, and I
actually just took a sip of it
347
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:02,500
as well.
Brad.
348
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,700
And I again I get the Rye, I get
The Malt, I don't really know
349
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,500
what Kasha tastes like.
So like, you know, I don't know
350
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:12,200
if some of this kind of sweeter
nuttiness is coming from the
351
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,000
corn or if it's coming from the
buckwheat.
352
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,200
But this reminds Have a whiskey.
We had about a year ago on the
353
00:19:17,208 --> 00:19:19,800
podcast from the laws.
Company out in Colorado.
354
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,000
We also did one with old elk on
that episode and one of those
355
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,700
companies had a high malt
bourbon, this really reminds me
356
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:31,900
of that bread.
Yeah, there's there's a, it's
357
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:34,700
escaping me, the exact way to
describe this.
358
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:41,200
There's just something earthy
and grainy about it, that is
359
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,300
beautiful and, and sometimes
that's an indicator of a young
360
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,600
whiskey.
But I think When you keep the
361
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,500
grain flavor on an older
whiskey, you know, this one's
362
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:53,200
age at least five years, there's
something about that, that age
363
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,700
is really nicely, and I love
this stuff, man.
364
00:19:57,100 --> 00:19:59,200
And it's always nice when we get
something that is kind of
365
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,800
outside the norm or like out of
the regular wheelhouse of, you
366
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,600
know, a whiskey category.
And this is that for sure, this
367
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,500
is really unique.
Yeah, something that friend of
368
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,000
shows, Scott's our has often
said, is like once you drank
369
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,900
enough, classic Bourbons.
Kind of drink them all.
370
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:20,500
And so at a certain point you
just start looking for a unique,
371
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:24,100
interesting, flavor, profiles
and spirit of French Lick is
372
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:25,500
done it here.
All right.
373
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,600
Well, we're off to a good start
with spirits of French, Lick,
374
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,600
why don't we get back into our
top five?
375
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,600
So for my number three, movies
that I love, but I'm DB hates, I
376
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,800
am looking at perhaps the
greatest franchise of all time.
377
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,600
We're talking about George
Lucas's, Star Wars, and Bob,
378
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,700
you've known for a long time
that I love the prequels.
379
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,100
I think that they are criminally
underrated Star Wars episode
380
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:58,100
one.
I honestly was surprised about
381
00:20:58,100 --> 00:20:59,100
this.
I thought it was going to be
382
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:03,100
lower.
It has exactly a six point five
383
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,400
out of ten on IMDb, which I was
really happy about because I was
384
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,000
expecting it to be like a 4.5,
the way people talk about it,
385
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,200
right?
For me, I love episode 1.
386
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,600
I even going back and watching
it now as an adult.
387
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,900
I think that there is so much to
enjoy about the World building,
388
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:25,600
that Lucas does I enjoy you and
McGregor a lot?
389
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,300
I think that the kid who plays
Anakin isn't nearly as bad as
390
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:32,300
what a lot of people say, he is
overall.
391
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,400
I really love this movie.
I would probably give it in the
392
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,200
same vein as click a seven and a
half to an eight.
393
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,600
It's obviously not a perfect
movie, is there.
394
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,600
There is some Awkwardness to the
film.
395
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,900
That just comes.
When you have Lucas directing,
396
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:50,100
I'm not a Star Wars fan boy to
the point where every one of the
397
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:55,500
movies is a 10 out of 10.
My best friend in the world, he
398
00:21:55,500 --> 00:22:00,000
will, he will argue till the day
he dies, that his favorite.
399
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,900
Six movies are the top, are the
Star Wars prequels and and
400
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:07,400
originals.
And so for him it's just a
401
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,900
matter of where within the top
six does this fall, I'm not the
402
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:14,200
not.
At that point, there's a few
403
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,300
movies better than Star Wars,
episode one just a few, just a
404
00:22:18,308 --> 00:22:19,900
few.
But all that being said, I
405
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:23,300
really love episode 1.
I know it is, you are not a fan
406
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,700
of it, but I think it's, I think
it's worth more than a 6.5.
407
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,200
Well, good for, you know, I will
say this, like, I truly think
408
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,900
that movie is awful like really
bad, but I'm not gonna poop on
409
00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:39,300
your pick here.
Because what, I think that I
410
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:42,600
figured out is that when you
talk about the prequels, I mean,
411
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,800
everyone knows and agrees that
the third one is the best one,
412
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,100
right?
Like episode 3.
413
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,600
Yeah, is Head and Shoulders
above the other two and it's
414
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,500
really just a matter of like do
you think it's good or do you
415
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,300
think it's great but then with
the other two I feel like people
416
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:58,600
really stick up for one or the
other like people are really a
417
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,700
fan of the first one or really a
fan of the second one and
418
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,500
there's not much crossover like
if you love episode one you
419
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:07,600
probably don't like episode 2
that much and I re-watched all
420
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,000
the prequels about a year ago
with my wife as she can, she's
421
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,700
never seen the prequels before.
And like for me episode 1 is a 2
422
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:18,900
hour movie that I could have
sworn was eleven point five
423
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:22,900
hours long and we watched it in
one sitting and like we were
424
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,200
checking our like our phones for
the time.
425
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,300
I'd say 15 minutes into the
movie like it just it never
426
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,900
worked for me but episode 2.
I was like why do people hate
427
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:33,900
this?
Like I really really liked that
428
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:36,900
movie a lot.
So I'm kind of with you like my
429
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:40,800
pick would be the second one,
but I understand that, you know,
430
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,600
I understand the impulse to
stick up for one of these movies
431
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:48,500
fascinatingly enough, both
episode 1 and 2 have a 6.5 on
432
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:51,000
IMDb yeah, that sounds about
right.
433
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:54,200
But I'm sure that it's from like
two completely different camps
434
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,700
of people to yes 100% All right,
over my number three Brad, I'm
435
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,400
picking a movie that I think
some people will have seen in
436
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,400
some people like you have
probably never heard of.
437
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,400
It's a movie that stars, Matt
Damon.
438
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,300
It's from director, Steven
Soderbergh.
439
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:11,900
So, I like it has some Prestige
behind it but it is just like an
440
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:14,500
out-and-out comedy.
It's a farce, it's called the
441
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:16,800
informant.
All right, so it's about this
442
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,800
guy who is basically a
whistleblower against his giant
443
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,700
Corporation and he wants to work
with the FBI.
444
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:27,000
And he really wants to be like
an FBI agent, like he sees on
445
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:27,700
TV.
TV.
446
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:31,100
And as the movie unfolds, what
you find is like not only is
447
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:35,300
this guy the most bumbling
informant ever.
448
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,000
But that he's been making
everything up and it's a true
449
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,200
story and they play the whole
thing for Laughs.
450
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,800
It's like it's really
compelling.
451
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:46,700
Matt, Damon is a way better
comedic actor than I think, any
452
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:48,400
of us would have probably
expected.
453
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,300
I mean, if you've seen the
oceans movies, then you know
454
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:52,200
that like he has good comic
timing.
455
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,600
But in this movie, he is playing
such a hapless loser and The way
456
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,400
that you play that and make it
actually funny is to play it
457
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,100
completely straight.
Like he's playing this
458
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:05,600
character, as if this is a
serious drama and the re and
459
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,300
because he's playing it.
So seriously, it makes
460
00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:12,700
everything even more funny.
He seems like a real good guy.
461
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:15,200
I hope he doesn't mind me
calling him Brian.
462
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,400
Instead of Aging Shepherd.
I might even try Bry out.
463
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,300
This must be very different for
him.
464
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,400
Talking to a guy like me instead
of a bank robber or a drug
465
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,500
dealer.
I could see us fishing or
466
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:28,900
whatever.
What a good listener?
467
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,100
You'll meet one of those every
day.
468
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,800
This movie just totally worked
for me.
469
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,400
I enjoyed the hell out of it.
It's a short movie.
470
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,000
I think, you know, if you find
it on Netflix, if it's streaming
471
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,200
anywhere, you really should
watch the informant.
472
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:43,800
Super enjoyable, what do you
think you would give it out of
473
00:25:43,808 --> 00:25:46,100
10?
Well, on IMDb I gave it an
474
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:48,800
eight, so somewhere between an
eight and a nine, like, you
475
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,600
know, it's kind of reminds me
of, like, Chef in that way, the
476
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,900
movie that we just reviewed.
Because, like, there's a ceiling
477
00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:58,000
for movies like this.
Like, I don't, If I would ever
478
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,300
give this movie a 10 out of 10
just because I don't really know
479
00:26:01,300 --> 00:26:03,600
like what a 10/10 version of
this looks like.
480
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,300
But in terms of like sheer
enjoyment like as an eight and a
481
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:11,500
half, it's a great movie.
It feels like there's a limit
482
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:15,700
that just an enjoyable movie can
hit, right?
483
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:17,600
Like it.
Like, there's something about a
484
00:26:17,608 --> 00:26:19,800
movie that in order to give it a
10 out of 10.
485
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,200
It has to really like move you
personally or challenge what you
486
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,000
thought Cinema could do or
Something along those lines,
487
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
where something like this.
It's just it's just
488
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,700
entertaining.
It's just funny and a good time
489
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:35,500
and the most it could ever get
is like an eight eight and a
490
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:37,600
half.
All right man, let's move into
491
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,300
our number two picks, you're on
board and you're on board.
492
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,900
You're up to bat up to hopefully
a knock this one.
493
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:49,900
Out of the park.
Shut up Bob.
494
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:53,000
My number two movie is Tree of
Life.
495
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,200
Oh nice Terrence Malick.
Knocked this one out.
496
00:26:57,300 --> 00:26:59,800
The park to continue the
baseball metaphor.
497
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:04,200
Hey, I do this movie is wildly,
good.
498
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,800
It has a six point eight on
IMDb, which out of all of my top
499
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,600
five.
This one, I understand the most
500
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,400
art house is not built for the
general population.
501
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,700
It's it genuinely is built
simply for the director and for
502
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:26,100
the actors working on it and it
works for some people and it
503
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:28,600
doesn't work for everybody.
But it works for me.
504
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,200
I give it a 9 out of 10.
I think this is probably the
505
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,900
biggest gap for me and my top
five from where I'm at to, where
506
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:40,200
I am DB is, and I understand it
and I'm okay with it.
507
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:46,200
I just think that the story of
Grace versus punishment is told
508
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,400
so beautifully and watching the
transition in the main
509
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,200
character.
When he grows to understand how
510
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,900
his evil actions affect his
family.
511
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:00,400
It's just it's just brilliant
and it's moving and it
512
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,000
challenges you and forces you to
think and I love it.
513
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,700
Yeah man.
Nothing to add to that one.
514
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:09,000
For my number two, I'm going to
really steer us into territory
515
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,200
that we don't go into on this
podcast and that is like the
516
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,100
outright horror movie.
I don't watch a ton of horror
517
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:16,400
movies.
Brad, I know you don't really
518
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,800
watch any horror movies.
I feel like I can handle some
519
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,100
and then others are just too
kind of traumatic for me to
520
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:24,900
watch.
I'm going to talk about a movie
521
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:28,500
that came out in 2007 and it's
Old Paranormal Activity.
522
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Now this movie spawned four
thousand sequels that all suck.
523
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:40,500
However, the original Paranormal
Activity is so fucking good like
524
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:43,500
practice movie.
I made the mistake of thinking
525
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,600
like yeah, I'm going to turn on
this movie at 2:00 in the
526
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,800
morning.
I was bored one night and I
527
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,700
watched this movie by myself, in
a dark room at 2 a.m. and that
528
00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:55,200
was one of the worst mistakes
I've ever made.
529
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,600
Because I You like this movie
really kind of kick-started or
530
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,100
re kick-started the
found-footage genre, that was
531
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,400
kind of popularized by The Blair
Witch Project, and the whole
532
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,700
conceit of this movie is just
like these people have cameras
533
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:12,100
set up in their house because
they think that there's
534
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:16,100
something going on and you just
watched like really eerie things
535
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:19,700
happen and then the end of the
movie happens and it's like yep
536
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:21,100
that I should have seen that
coming.
537
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,900
But what I loved about this
movie because it is such a
538
00:29:25,908 --> 00:29:29,000
shoestring budget.
But most of what's really scary
539
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
is what you don't see.
Like when a character leaves the
540
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,900
frame, you're like, what's going
on out there because you might
541
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:39,600
hear something and it is
infinitely more terrifying.
542
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:44,300
Than if you saw some like cheap
CGI thing on screen, this movie
543
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:48,600
scared me down to my bones and I
think again, it's because they
544
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,900
leave so much up to your
imagination.
545
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,800
One of the scariest movies I've
ever seen.
546
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:55,400
I tell everyone that I talked to
you about it and I get so many I
547
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,500
rolls because horror fans Eight
Paranormal Activity.
548
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,600
I don't understand why I think
this is like a prime example of
549
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,700
how to take no budget and make
an independent movie and just
550
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:09,300
like make the hell out of it.
It's a great movie.
551
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,300
It scared the hell out of me.
It's my number two pick, dude.
552
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,300
All I gotta say is I'm not
watching it, won't do it.
553
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,800
You can't make me.
I get it.
554
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:24,300
Honestly, I watched a movie on
Netflix month or two ago and it
555
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:27,000
was a similar situation.
I was like kind of tire but not
556
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:29,400
Quite going to bed.
It was like I don't know, 10:30
557
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,700
or 11 and I was looking through
Netflix I saw a movie that I
558
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:36,500
remember hearing about and I
thought looked intriguing and so
559
00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:39,300
I turned it on it.
I can't remember the name of it
560
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:44,800
right now.
It's Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy
561
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,100
Adams and he is a novelist and
he sent so this.
562
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:53,800
Nocturnal animals, bro.
That was one of the most
563
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,000
terrifying movies I've ever
watched.
564
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,500
Let's not even know who I am.
Right.
565
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:05,900
Sorry this is a genuine on a
Content warning, bad stuff
566
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:08,100
happens in this movie.
If you don't like bad stuff
567
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,100
happening, maybe don't listen
for a second.
568
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:13,800
Yep.
The movie is about a family
569
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:18,400
being forced off the road in the
middle of Texas and the wife and
570
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,400
child are dragged away raped and
murdered and they show it in
571
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,700
about as much a graphic way as
they can.
572
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,900
Bob it is Of the worst things
I've ever watched in my life.
573
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:30,400
And there is nothing redeeming
about it.
574
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,400
There was no, there is no way
shape or form that this was
575
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,900
redeeming in the end.
I hate that movie, I would get
576
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,400
give it a 10 out of 10, I
recognize that there's a lot of
577
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,100
good stuff they do in it.
It is not a poorly made film,
578
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:47,500
but it's a 1 out of 10 for me.
And how does that relate to the
579
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:50,000
Paranormal Activity thing?
I'd probably give that a 10 out
580
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,700
of 10 to maybe a 2 out of 10 if
people don't get raped and
581
00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:56,600
murdered.
Yeah, I mean there's definitely
582
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,400
murder Yeah.
Yeah.
583
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:01,400
Well, great on that note, man.
I feel like spirits of French
584
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,400
like a really going to hate us
because we keep segueing
585
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,800
awkwardly into their, their
Whiskey In other news, right?
586
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,000
Very good whiskey.
Let's take a break.
587
00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:13,600
Let's try this second spirits of
French Lake whiskey.
588
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:15,800
What do you say?
Let's do it.
589
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:24,900
Bob Bob our second whiskey from
the spirits of French Lick.
590
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:27,700
Is there William?
Dalton bobbled and bond.
591
00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:30,200
We did bourbon.
This one.
592
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,400
I am really excited about.
I've already been nosing it a
593
00:32:32,408 --> 00:32:34,400
little bit.
It's got a beautiful, beautiful
594
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,100
smell.
The mash.
595
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:42,400
Bill comes in at 70% corn, 20%
wheat and 10% to row caramel
596
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,100
malts.
Now, Bob, I have not heard of to
597
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,300
row, caramel malt.
Don't know what makes it
598
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:51,000
different from one row, caramel
malt but so far, I'm really
599
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,100
excited.
About it.
600
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:55,400
What I'm most excited for here
and they noted this in all of
601
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,100
their press materials as well,
is that they're using caramel
602
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:01,100
malt to add a little bit more
sweetness to this whole thing.
603
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:03,700
I'm really, really excited for
this man.
604
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,900
Yeah, when I get into the nose,
this is one of the most
605
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:11,900
beautifully sweet whiskeys.
I've ever smelled like the
606
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,500
caramel.
If you told me that you just
607
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,700
melted down a little bit of
caramel and pour it in my glass,
608
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:20,400
I'd be like, yeah, 100% totally
makes sense to me.
609
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,900
Let's drink it.
I will say that it does still
610
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:25,600
have a little bit of that.
Note, we were picking up on the
611
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,000
first whiskey that it's like, it
doesn't smell young, but it just
612
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,400
smells like kind of intensely
grainy.
613
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,800
Does that make sense?
Yeah, it really does.
614
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,900
There's just this kind of
foundational level of grain to
615
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:42,700
this that you're right.
You're not getting away from it
616
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:46,000
from that buckwheat.
No, no maybe.
617
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,400
I mean maybe it'll be different
on the taste.
618
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:55,100
So let's give it a sip bread.
But that's that's really nice.
619
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,800
Honestly, it reminds me a little
bit of an Irish whiskey.
620
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,000
It's just got this like
brightness.
621
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
There's a little bit of
fruitiness going on.
622
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,000
I don't know, like a honeydew or
a melon type of feel to it.
623
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,400
It's very soft.
There's not as much caramel as I
624
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,800
thought they would be.
Hmm.
625
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:15,300
Are you getting very much?
No, I'm not.
626
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,800
And I gotta say this one kind of
tastes Young To Me Brad.
627
00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:21,699
Like even though it's four
years, Old now on the buck wheat
628
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:23,800
bourbon, all their press
materials noted that they use a
629
00:34:23,808 --> 00:34:27,300
number two Char.
So like when you buy barrels,
630
00:34:27,699 --> 00:34:31,000
you can get them, charred to a
specific like level of char
631
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:34,100
alligator Char, because of what
it looks like on the inside.
632
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,300
That's like the most charge, you
can get if you're plotting, it
633
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:42,300
all out on the Spectrum.
And I wonder if the lack of
634
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:47,600
contact with like really deep
Char is kind of what is, is
635
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,400
causing these to taste a little
young to me.
636
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,900
Now, I don't know if they use
number two barrels on this one
637
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:56,300
or not, but like, it has those
same kind of young grain notes
638
00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:59,800
to me on the taste and I
wouldn't expect it at this age.
639
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,300
Yeah, I'm with you man.
Both of them have just a little
640
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:09,100
bit of that young taste that I
don't enjoy as much and maybe
641
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:12,000
it's not young, maybe it's just
the charring process that you
642
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,800
just talked about.
But overall, I think that they
643
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,800
have really interesting flavor
profiles.
644
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,500
I think the buckwheat
Fascinating, but I'm kind of
645
00:35:22,508 --> 00:35:25,100
with you.
I think that there's just some a
646
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:29,000
little hint of something missing
for me in these whiskeys now.
647
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,900
I like the uniqueness of it but
whenever you go unique in a
648
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:35,300
whiskey there's a chance that
the uniqueness isn't going to
649
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,900
work for someone.
I wouldn't go as far as to say,
650
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:40,300
it doesn't work for me.
It's just not necessarily the
651
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:43,000
first thing I would grab for off
the shelf.
652
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:46,400
Yeah, totally agree.
I will say like, at the end of
653
00:35:46,408 --> 00:35:51,000
the day I am always down to
Champion a A small producer or a
654
00:35:51,008 --> 00:35:54,100
small distiller.
I think what the the foundations
655
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:55,800
of these whiskies are.
Excellent.
656
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:58,300
I just think that like if you,
if you put him in like a number
657
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:01,800
for Char and aged him for six
years they would be mind
658
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,300
blowing.
You know what I mean?
659
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,200
Yeah, I think a little more time
in the barrel.
660
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,300
Would do these some good but but
hey, I Spirits a French Lick is
661
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:11,800
putting out really great stuff.
All right, well, we want to say
662
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,900
thanks to the spirits of French
Lick for sending us both of
663
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:15,600
these bottled and bond Bourbons.
Brad.
664
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Let's reveal our number one
picks.
665
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:29,200
Bob my number one pick for a
movie that I love just dearly
666
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:33,700
just absolutely adore.
And I am DB gives a six point
667
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:37,200
five out of ten.
The Santa Claus.
668
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:43,300
Oh nice, body more.
I think that Tim.
669
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:48,500
Tim Allen is just the most
perfect reluctant Santa Claus
670
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:52,400
that could ever exist.
I think that the the Of the
671
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,300
movie is nearly perfect.
The, the way you have the
672
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,600
estranged, dad, trying to
connect with his son, who's at
673
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,300
an age where he has no idea how
to connect to him.
674
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,000
The way they play off him.
You know, burning the Christmas
675
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,800
dinner, it flies into that Trope
of, like, you know, incompetent
676
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,800
father, but I don't think it
does it in such a way that is
677
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:22,400
hokey or, or, I don't know,
unoriginal, the the Seen at
678
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,500
Denny's the joke that he that
literally always gets me.
679
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:28,800
Is when he goes, come on, we're
going to Denny's.
680
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,100
It's an all American
establishment and then there's
681
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:35,700
just the massive business party
of Japanese business.
682
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:42,000
Men arguing with each other,
that, that cutaway just gets me
683
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:46,300
every single time.
I love Santa Claus, I think it's
684
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:48,700
very touching by the end of it,
the way he connects with his
685
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:52,600
son, it's a beautiful movie.
I'd probably give it like A to
686
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,600
an eight and a half, you know,
it's not it falls into the vein
687
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,500
of what we talked about was chef
and the front-runner, you know,
688
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:03,500
it's an enjoyable, fun,
Christmas movie that I really
689
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:08,200
love and I was amazed to see
that it has a 6.5 on IMDb.
690
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,700
So two quick thoughts on the the
Santa Claus.
691
00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:16,200
The first is it is in this this
group of like mid 90s, Christmas
692
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,200
movies, that are very weirdly
like way too adult for children
693
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,100
like theirs.
There's a lot of jokes in this
694
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:26,100
movie that are very much for the
parents, like, the movie starts
695
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:30,100
with Santa Claus falling off a
roof and dying, like Tim Allen
696
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,100
is responsible for manslaughter
for murdering Santa and then
697
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:38,000
covers up his crime by taking
the mantle of Santa Claus upon
698
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,400
himself.
It's a it's a it's a very adult
699
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,100
movie.
He falls off the roof and then
700
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:47,600
he waves at Tim Allen and then
he just, he just kind of gives
701
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,100
it's a Yoda death, man.
He gives up the ghost.
702
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,500
Yeah, he got really old.
He was tired of delivered
703
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,800
presents and so he just
disappeared.
704
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,300
All right, Yoda.
I mean, it just kind of reminds
705
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:01,700
me of jingle all the way in
that, in that fashion like that
706
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:04,400
movie.
I mean, like, a man blows up
707
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,300
police officers with a bomb.
It's just, it's very weird to
708
00:39:07,308 --> 00:39:09,600
watch that movie with a child in
2022.
709
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:13,000
The second thought I have on the
Santa Claus is unrelated to the
710
00:39:13,008 --> 00:39:19,100
movie, but but the title of the
film is so clever that it
711
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:23,600
actually ruined.
A whole generation of Americans
712
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,800
on how to properly spell Santa
Claus is named because I see
713
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,200
everyone.
Now, spell Santa Claus with an e
714
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,600
on the end.
That's not how Santa Claus is
715
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,500
spelled.
The reason the movie is called,
716
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:39,700
The Santa Clause is that there
is a clause in Santa's contract
717
00:39:39,700 --> 00:39:43,100
that like when Santa dies, the
mantle gets taken up by somebody
718
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:45,700
else.
And that Clause is the reason
719
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:49,400
that Tim Allen becomes, you
know, Kris Kringle but it's just
720
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,900
so funny because I feel like
we've all seen the cover.
721
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:55,600
That VHS so many times that
everyone just thinks that that's
722
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,100
how Santa Claus is name is
spelled.
723
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,100
Now, it's on my father'd.
Me.
724
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,500
My movie Changed History, it
sure it sure did, man.
725
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,300
All right, Brad for my number
one II didn't want to do this at
726
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:11,100
number one because I'm really
setting myself up for a
727
00:40:11,107 --> 00:40:13,600
disappointment here, but it's a
movie that's going to be coming
728
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:18,100
up later in season 5 and it's a
movie called young adult.
729
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,200
This is a film that stars
Charlize Theron.
730
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,500
It's directed by Jason.
Reitman.
731
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:24,600
Who was really just coming off
of Juno?
732
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,900
Like, Juno gets nominated for
best picture.
733
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:30,700
He gets nominated for best
director, the screenwriter
734
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:33,300
Diablo.
Cody wins the Oscar for the
735
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:37,400
screenplay and then this is like
their next big project together.
736
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,800
And this movie is like a dark
comedy to the extreme.
737
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,200
It's not like a dark comedy in
that like people are getting
738
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,600
murdered or anything like that,
but it's just like it is so hard
739
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,400
edged.
It's so cynical.
740
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,300
Like I don't want to call it
mean-spirited but it Of is and
741
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:56,800
the thing that I love about this
movie is the main character
742
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,800
played by Charlize Theron.
She was basically like the most
743
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,700
popular thing in high school.
She was the the person that
744
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:05,400
everyone worshipped and she's
just a jerk about it.
745
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,300
And now, her life is spinning
out of control at like age, 35
746
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:13,600
or whatever and she moves back
to her hometown and doesn't
747
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,500
realize that everyone kind of
knows that her life is spinning
748
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:20,800
out of control, and is trying to
re-establish herself as like hot
749
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,800
and And ruins a bunch of
people's lives in the process,
750
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,200
but her character reminds me so
much of Scarlett, O'Hara.
751
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:32,100
And when we talked about Gone
With the Wind, one of the things
752
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:35,300
we mentioned was like, what is
the character Arc for Scarlett?
753
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:37,000
O'Hara?
Like she gets everything She
754
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,700
Wants.
Does she even change at the end
755
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:41,100
of the movie?
And I think this movie kind of
756
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:45,300
keeps that in mind where they
really do kind of go for like
757
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,900
the gut, punch cynical ending,
and I love it for it.
758
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:50,900
I'm super excited for you to
watch this movie.
759
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:53,300
Brad.
It's 10/10 movie, for me.
760
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:56,500
At least it has been when I wash
it in the past, it is not a 10
761
00:41:56,500 --> 00:42:00,400
out of 10 on IMDb.
And I just, I can't wait to hear
762
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,600
what you think because I really
feel like you could go either
763
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,400
way on this movie.
Yeah.
764
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,600
The the way you've described it,
I'm intrigued and interested but
765
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:15,600
it feels like a common enough
Trope that I'm worried that it
766
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,900
actually isn't good and you're
just crazy.
767
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,300
All right, cool.
Well, well I guess we'll find
768
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:21,800
out.
So that's my number.
769
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,600
One movie and that's my little
tease for down the road in
770
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,400
season 5.
When we get around to young
771
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,000
adult.

Hey everybody, Welcome to the
podcast.
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,600
We are back with another special
bonus episode.
3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,100
Bonus episode food.
Oh, that was nice.
4
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:14,200
He had a nice little like a
barbershop quartet tag at the
5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,800
end their bonus episode.
All right.
6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Well we are not talking about
barbershop quartets today we're
7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,700
actually bringing back our top
fives series, which Brad we
8
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:30,100
haven't done one of these in a
while and we need to do Do a
9
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:32,000
more often.
I love doing the top fives.
10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,300
Yeah I mean and I'm really
excited.
11
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:37,500
Today's topic is top 5.
Movies about barbershop
12
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,100
quartets.
There it is.
13
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:42,300
I don't know I don't know if
there are five movies about I'm
14
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,200
just trying to think.
I was racking my brain and I do
15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,100
picks top five bottle tops
barbershop quartet by hope
16
00:00:50,108 --> 00:00:51,900
picks.
That's it man.
17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,100
So today we're actually doing
top 5 movies that we love but
18
00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:00,300
that IMDb does not like so Brad
actually Out to me.
19
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,000
And we were kind of talking
about this because the theme of
20
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:06,900
season 5 on this show is just
kind of like personal favorites
21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,900
or movies.
We want to revisit to see if
22
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:12,600
they hold up and a lot of times
what we've come across is, you
23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,700
know, a movie like Signs, the M
Night Shyamalan film which I
24
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:18,400
think on IMDb only has like a
six point eight.
25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,200
And I mean I just found that
shocking because I gave it like
26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,100
at least a nine.
I think Brad you gave it a 9 as
27
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,800
well.
Like there's certain movies that
28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,800
for some reason it doesn't seem
to click with the general.
29
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:35,300
Public, but it does with us.
Yeah, I think that there's just
30
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:39,400
this reality that the general
public sucks.
31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,900
It wrong all the time, aren't
they?
32
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:44,800
And the proof of it is in the is
in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,800
pudding, man.
Listen, I went to see no way
34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,900
home.
Just the other day.
35
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,400
I finally got around to it.
Finally jumped on the bandwagon.
36
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:52,300
It was good.
I did.
37
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:53,600
You feel it?
Was, who's good?
38
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,300
Who's that sitting here?
Yeah, it's good but good movie
39
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,700
times were had.
Yeah, as they always are with
40
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:04,100
Marvel.
Here's the thing, I feel bad dog
41
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:07,600
and on the MCU so much because
they genuinely put out like
42
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:12,900
anywhere from like C plus to a
minus movies like really
43
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,000
consistently like they put out a
lot of good work.
44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,600
The problem.
The two problems I have is that
45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,300
a they are treated like every
film is an A-Plus work and B,
46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,300
they just destroy everything
else.
47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,300
Like people act as if the MCU
does if the MCU doesn't do well
48
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:34,700
then that's like bad for Cinema
and I'm like no the fact that
49
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:39,200
y'all won't go see literally
anything else in theaters but
50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,100
only Marvel movies.
That's like that's probably the
51
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:44,300
biggest problem.
And what's going to destroy
52
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:47,200
Cinema in the next five, you
upset, we get down this Rabbit
53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Hole again.
I don't know man.
54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,900
Every single time we press
record, we are, like, you're
55
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,100
putting them on trial.
I don't understand, we're here
56
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:58,900
to do a top 5 episode man, and
it doesn't have anything to do
57
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,500
with the FCC.
All right, so the criteria When
58
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,600
Brad reached out to me, he said
what would you think about doing
59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,900
a top five where on IMDb we have
rated a movie at an eight or
60
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:15,300
higher and IMDb users in general
have rated it at it lower than a
61
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:18,300
6.5 like that was the criteria
right?
62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,300
Yeah.
That that was the beginning of
63
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,700
the criteria.
Honestly, I had a hard time
64
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:25,700
finding movies that fit into
that criteria.
65
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,200
So all of mine are under a 7.0 I
The highest score I have is a
66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,800
six point eight.
So, for the most part I would
67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,400
say that once you hit like 7.5
and up that's pretty hard to do
68
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,100
on IMDb right once.
But once you hit like, six point
69
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,400
seven, six point eight and
Below.
70
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,700
That's usually a sign that
people don't like this movie.
71
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:53,700
Yeah.
See, I'm in the opposite.
72
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,100
Boat is you, man?
Because I think I have like nine
73
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,600
or ten movies that met the
criteria that I'm trying to
74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,700
figure out which ones would be.
My top five.
75
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:02,800
So I'm really doing this on the
Fly today.
76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,100
I don't know if there's going to
be any Rhyme or Reason to my
77
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,000
list but I'm excited to jump
into it.
78
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:11,200
And while we do it today we have
two whiskies that were sent to
79
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,500
us from a fantastic.
Distillery in Indiana called
80
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:17,500
spirits of French Lick.
They have really been making a
81
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:20,500
name for themselves in the
craft, Distillery industry.
82
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,700
The last few years, I have heard
nothing but Raves from people,
83
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,800
like every time I see people
release year-end lists with
84
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
their favorite, whiskies spirits
of French Lick is always On
85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,100
there.
So we were sent samples of their
86
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:34,400
whiskey that's called The
Morning Glory which is a buck
87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,700
wheat bourbon and then we've
also been sent a sample of their
88
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:42,000
William Dalton weeded bourbon.
So two completely different
89
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
flavor profiles.
I would imagine Brad, but I'm
90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,300
excited to try them both.
Yeah I love seeing whiskey
91
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:52,100
coming out of Indiana.
That isn't sourced in Indiana.
92
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:56,800
You know what I mean?
Yes, that's actually coming from
93
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,900
something that that isn't a
conglomerate.
94
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:02,000
Yes.
Yes, I'm really pumped to get
95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,200
into this today.
All right, man.
96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,100
Well, let's let's jump into it
then why don't you kick us off
97
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,300
with your number five movie?
You love that, the general
98
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:14,400
public does not number five for
me.
99
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:20,000
This movie I genuinely did not
expect to find on this list but
100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,700
the movie Click Adam Sandler.
Kate Beckinsale 2000 and want to
101
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:31,700
say like five or six dude.
I remember watching this movie
102
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:36,500
as a 15, 16 year-old and
thinking to myself, I've never
103
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:41,600
seen a movie go from being, like
complete comedy for the first
104
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,600
half of the movie to like tear
jerker Drama by the end of the
105
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,100
film.
I, this movie Wrecked me, and I
106
00:05:51,108 --> 00:05:54,500
think one of the reasons I love
this movie so much, and I would
107
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,600
probably give it like, a seven
and a half to an eight.
108
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
It's, there's a lot of flaws.
It's Much so an Adam Sandler
109
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,900
movie.
But what I really loved about
110
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:08,200
this movie was that it forced
you to think about what are the
111
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,300
things you're skipping over in
life.
112
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:16,000
And honestly, the more we get
into a social media era, I feel
113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,200
like this movie was prescient
like my wife tells me about her
114
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,400
friends at work, who will sit on
Tick Tock and scroll Tick Tock,
115
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,000
while they're having
conversations with her.
116
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,700
Hmm.
And that's just mind boggling.
117
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,500
Lie to me that, like in my mind,
that is literally like, pressing
118
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,000
the fast-forward button on your
life, just skipping over things.
119
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Michael was eagerly awaiting,
the arrival of his lunch order
120
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,700
was that James, Earl Jones,
James hell does a lot of
121
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:46,800
voiceover work, because
anticipation quickly turned to
122
00:06:46,808 --> 00:06:50,700
dismay, as a realized Alice had
brought him a cheeseburger to
123
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,400
serve a hamburger.
As we request a cheeseburger, I
124
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800
said, a hamburger.
She always does this.
125
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,400
To me, might be considered
demanding.
126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,100
That Alice grated cheese off,
but decided, Hearing that Alice
127
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,200
May spit in or otherwise,
defiled, a burger.
128
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,600
In some manner, a wise decision
for, that was exactly what Alice
129
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,900
was planning to do.
Ha, ha ha.
130
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,700
And so I just, I really like
click.
131
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,900
I think it has a really
important message and barring a
132
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:24,700
lot of the fart joke, type of
humor that's in the movie II.
133
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:28,600
Do not think this deserves a 6.4
know, you know, like that's the
134
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,700
thing.
It's not a great movie.
135
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,900
She but I really think that
everything that it does, it does
136
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:35,400
very well.
And the emotion towards the end
137
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,100
of the movie is really earned
and you know people have
138
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:41,000
commented before on how Adam
Sandler, when he does dramatic
139
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,100
stuff, he's a really good actor
and I think the earnestness
140
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,800
coming from him and especially
from Henry Winkler in that scene
141
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,600
where, you know, I mean I think
you know what scene I'm talking
142
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000
about.
But he's fast forward to the
143
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,800
point where like his dad is an
old man and he's gonna die, and
144
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,100
it's going to be the last time
he sees his dad and he just
145
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,800
outright reject spending time.
With him and you have Young Adam
146
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,300
Sandler like standing in the
middle of this, kind of, you
147
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:08,100
know, DVD fast forward scene of
his own life, like shouting at
148
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:10,000
his dad, like, please come back.
I'm sorry.
149
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:12,500
Oh, my gosh, dude is like that's
your right, dude.
150
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:15,600
That scene wrecked me, so, so
good.
151
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,900
So yeah, man.
I'm glad you put that one on
152
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:20,900
here because even though it's
not anywhere near approaching
153
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:23,100
like a 10/10 movie.
I definitely think it's above a
154
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:25,100
6.4.
Yeah.
155
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:27,800
And honestly, I figured I'd get
you with that father-son
156
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,600
relationship right off the bat,
you know, me.
157
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,799
So well, you know, me so well.
So for my number five, Brad, I'm
158
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,700
actually going to go into a
genre of movie that we've we've,
159
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:38,700
I don't want to say, we've
avoided talking about on this
160
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:41,600
show but we've really not dipped
our toes into it.
161
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:44,600
And that is the world of the
quote-unquote, Christian movie,
162
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,800
you know.
Brad and I are, oh man, yeah
163
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,700
Brad and I are both, you know,
ostensibly pastors.
164
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:52,900
We've both worked in churches,
we both went to Seminary, we
165
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:56,500
have M divs A stamina sensibly,
you know whether or not you're
166
00:08:56,500 --> 00:09:00,800
paid, I don't know.
Movie that I want to talk about
167
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,000
is a film that came out just a
few years ago and it's called
168
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,800
risen.
And the concept of the movie is
169
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,200
it's told from the perspective
of a Roman Centurion who has
170
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,200
basically been assigned to track
down the body of Jesus after it
171
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,400
disappears from the tomb.
So it's told from the
172
00:09:17,408 --> 00:09:19,800
perspective of the Romans and
the Romans think that Jesus's
173
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,100
body has been stolen obviously.
And it's you know, it's a
174
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,300
fictional story and towards the
end he discovers what really
175
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,600
happened with Jesus and man, I
gotta say so.
176
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,700
Many of these like Cristiano
movies.
177
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:35,500
Now are designed for the lowest
common denominator they're made
178
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:37,900
for no money.
They have like very few,
179
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:40,600
professional actors in them.
Like if you've ever seen the
180
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,700
God's Not Dead series, I
apologize to you on behalf of
181
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,500
Christians everywhere because
it's horrific and horrendous.
182
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,600
And this movie, I just feel like
it had such a more Deft hand
183
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,400
behind it.
Like, the production values are
184
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,200
there, but you can tell it's not
like the biggest budget movie
185
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,000
ever made, but like, It has real
actors in it, which is a huge
186
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,900
plus.
And, you know, there's a really
187
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,800
poignant scene towards the end
of the film where that century
188
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,200
and finds Jesus alive again and
watching him kind of walk into
189
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,400
this room where Jesus is
teaching people and, and the
190
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,000
reality of what's going on
around him, setting in whether
191
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,700
or not you're a Christian,
whether or not you believe, in
192
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:25,500
any of that, if you're able to,
even take this story on face
193
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:28,700
value for what it is, the places
that the story is going.
194
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,100
I thought this was an incredibly
rewarding movie.
195
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,600
It's one of the very few in that
sort of like contemporary
196
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,500
Christian movie.
Genres that I really enjoyed.
197
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,100
So that's my number five.
It's called risen.
198
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,800
If it makes you feel any better?
God is not dead.
199
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:48,500
Has a 5.0 on IMDb versus the 6.3
that risen has.
200
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,700
There it is, man.
Both still failing grades in any
201
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:55,800
glass in America, you know, but
also, I will say, when you said,
202
00:10:56,100 --> 00:11:00,900
when you describe the movie as a
Roman centurions, Trying to find
203
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:04,500
Jesus.
I really just now want to see a
204
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:10,400
1952 like knockoff of film Noir
and have like this, like a
205
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,900
private eye, like private eye
who's been hired on the down low
206
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:18,300
by King Herod to, like find
Jesus.
207
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800
The either that or we need like
a National Treasure movie.
208
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,300
That's set back in in Roman
times and then you just have
209
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,500
Nick Cage saying I'm gonna steal
the body of Jesus and that's
210
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:34,300
the, that's the hook.
Yeah dude I am 100% in.
211
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,700
All right man, what's your
number for my number for movie
212
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:41,100
Bob you.
You kind of ruined it for me as
213
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:45,900
you do a lot of things.
Good signs has a 6.7.
214
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,300
I hate to tell you that you were
wrong about it went down since
215
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:53,500
the last people that listen to
our episode like went and bombed
216
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:57,400
that IMDb account afterwards.
Yeah, they must have it is a six
217
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,200
point seven out of ten.
I Probably should have done the
218
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,700
work and looked up, what I gave
it.
219
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,700
I think I gave it a 9, maybe an
eight and a half that it's still
220
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:10,000
Bonkers to me.
Honestly, we don't need to spend
221
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,300
much time talking about it.
Hey, go watch the movie.
222
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:16,900
Be go listen to the episode that
we recorded on it because
223
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:20,900
science is a phenomenal movie.
And if you're willing to stop
224
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:26,000
looking at Shyamalan as the
twist director, if you're
225
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,800
willing to start, looking at him
as a director of human, And
226
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,000
chips and and how humans deal
with trauma.
227
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:36,400
You will have a phenomenal
experience with that movie.
228
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,900
Yeah, so go check it out.
All right, man, for my number
229
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,300
four, I'm actually going to go
with the movie that just came
230
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:46,900
out what, 3 years ago now, and
it made absolutely no dent in
231
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,800
the box office and no one talked
about it and the critics
232
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,000
immediately dismissed it, but it
was, it was positioned as kind
233
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,100
of an Oscar e movie starring
Hugh Jackman and the movies
234
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,500
called the front-runner.
And it's a true story about a
235
00:12:58,508 --> 00:13:01,900
politician.
In the 1990s, late 80s, early
236
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:05,700
90s, I think who got caught up
in a sex scandal and, you know,
237
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:09,300
it ruined his whole his whole
career and the way the movie
238
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:13,400
unfolds, you kind of aren't sure
at first, if he really is, you
239
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,800
know, cheating on his wife and
you find out obviously that he
240
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,000
is, but it was such a clever
movie to come out kind of at the
241
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,700
time that it did, because it was
released into a very charged
242
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:28,000
political climate in 2018.
But, it also, I don't know.
243
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,700
It's just so interesting to see
the way.
244
00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:32,600
The way that they portrayed it
and, you know, the factual
245
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,800
elements of that story.
I think the guy's name was Gary
246
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,700
Hart to see what would bring a
politician democrat or
247
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:42,600
republican down in the 90s
versus what would what brings a
248
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,100
politician down now?
Like it seems like such a minor
249
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,700
little hiccup, you know, that
would be like a bump in the road
250
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,100
of a politician's journey.
Now and I'll tell you what, man,
251
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,600
I loved this movie, it might be
in my opinion.
252
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,200
The best performance Hugh
Jackman has ever given.
253
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
I thought that, you know, for
the most part they Didn't try
254
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,400
too hard to draw parallels to,
you know, the political climate
255
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,500
of 2018.
There were a couple moments that
256
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,200
I was like, all right, you could
have cut that line, but I walked
257
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,400
out of that movie, I gave it a 9
out of 10 and on IMDb it has a
258
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,700
6.1, so the critics didn't care
for it.
259
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,000
The general public didn't care
for it but almost everything
260
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,300
about that movie worked for me.
And again, if you're a fan of
261
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:24,800
Hugh Jackman, I think you owe it
to yourself just to watch that
262
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,100
performance because it was
really, really excellent.
263
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:33,000
Yeah, I think that there is A
fascination with tabloid type
264
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
news that almost leads into this
perverse place of like well if
265
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,200
famous people are having Affairs
then you know it's okay for us
266
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,800
to do it too and like you said
after 3040 years of that, we're
267
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:53,800
finally at a place where you can
get away with so much as a
268
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,300
politician and the general
Public's like me right.
269
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:01,500
You know, that's fine.
It genuinely makes me think
270
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:07,300
about the the local city
councilman from dexhart from
271
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:14,900
Parks and Rec like just just
Google like best of debt Council
272
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:19,500
councilman dexhart because he
just says exemplifies the the
273
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:23,400
parody of a politician who just
doesn't give a ring.
274
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,300
I love I love in one episode.
His whole defense he goes like
275
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:32,000
in my defense I was really horny
and then Exactly.
276
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,500
So let me ask you this bread.
Before we move into our first
277
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:38,200
whiskey for the day, have you
seen or even heard of either of
278
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,100
my first two movies on this
list?
279
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,100
That would be a negatory,
Robert?
280
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:43,200
Okay.
I didn't know if you might have
281
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,700
heard of risen because of, you
know, we're almost kind of
282
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:49,300
circles.
But I mean, I've heard of the
283
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:53,200
word risen and I did, I would
relate that to my Lord and
284
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,500
Savior.
Jesus Christ.
285
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,900
And I have heard of a
front-runner before.
286
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:01,300
Usually it refers to somebody
who's Like in the lead in a
287
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,000
race.
See there it is.
288
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,700
So and it's a double meaning
because it also means someone
289
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:10,400
who is trying to deceive you and
so, yeah.
290
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,500
Do you get it?
Mmm.
291
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:15,900
Yeah, that's amazing man.
They're so smart also, whoever
292
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:20,100
named it should have taken over
the subtitle, because the
293
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:24,900
subtitle for the front-runner is
the week, America went tabloid.
294
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:28,600
That's that's terrible.
That's the worst tag line I've
295
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,000
ever heard.
It's, it might be the greatest
296
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,600
though.
All right.
297
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,500
Think about it.
Some more.
298
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:34,500
Let's take a break.
Let's try the first of these two
299
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:35,800
whiskies.
Which one do you want to jump
300
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,200
into first, the buckwheat
bourbon or the weeded bourbon?
301
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,100
I mean, let's go for The Unique,
man.
302
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:42,600
I've never had a buck wheat
bourbon.
303
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:49,800
All right, let's get to it.
All right, so the first one
304
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,400
we're trying today is called the
Morning Glory.
305
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,800
This is a it's called a Kasha
Bourbon and Brad.
306
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,100
I have just literally just now
just learned that Kasha is what
307
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,700
you call Buckwheat when it has
been toasted.
308
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:05,500
So this is a bourbon that
contains all of the essential
309
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:09,000
bourbon ingredients and it also
includes Kasha and then
310
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,599
untoasted buckwheat as well.
So the mash bill is composed of
311
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:19,800
66% corn, 12% ri6 10% Kasha and
then 2% buckwheat 4% malt.
312
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,300
So if you consider the Kasha and
the on toasted buckwheat two
313
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,700
separate grains than we're
dealing with a five grain Mash
314
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:28,000
bill here Brad.
This is a bottled and bond
315
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,500
bourbon.
So it's four years old, at
316
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,100
least, four years old.
This one was actually barreled
317
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:34,200
in 2016.
It looks like it was dumped in
318
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,200
2021, so it's five years old and
it was aged in number two.
319
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,500
Char barrels come in at 100
proof as bottled and bond
320
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:44,500
Whiskey's do man.
This has a beautiful color to
321
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:45,000
it.
Brad.
322
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:45,700
Yeah.
Yeah.
323
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:50,500
The the I mean you can only say
Amber and so many different ways
324
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:56,000
but there's a depth of quality
to this and the legs are just
325
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,600
whoo.
Yeah.
326
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,500
Yeah, no man.
I mean is a beautiful was really
327
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:02,000
is the word though because it
has this really nice almost like
328
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200
orangie kind of hue to it.
I'm excited to give it a nose at
329
00:18:05,208 --> 00:18:06,900
a taste Brad.
Why don't you tell me what
330
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:10,100
you're picking up on the nose
here honestly you get like a
331
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:15,200
hint of caramel and vanilla and
then you get all sorts of like
332
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:18,300
toes.
Did bread, not even bread.
333
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:21,600
You put in the toaster.
I'm talking like a taken baked
334
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:26,000
loaf of bread and you put in
your oven and it comes out fresh
335
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,500
and you, you bake it just a
little too long.
336
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:32,800
So the crust is as nice and
crunchy, like, that's the kind
337
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,300
of bread I'm thinking about
here.
338
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,600
I really love this knows.
Yeah, for me, I think that the
339
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,400
Rye and the molt really come out
on this.
340
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Like it has, it doesn't smell
like a young whiskey, but it has
341
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,200
this kind of I don't know if
there's a graininess to it, that
342
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,300
is clearly not corn.
You know what I mean?
343
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,400
And I don't want to call like
The Malt and the Rye likes our
344
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,600
grains because that's not what
I, what I'm getting here.
345
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,500
There's just an earthiness to
this one that it doesn't smell
346
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:01,700
like a typical Bourbon, and I
actually just took a sip of it
347
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:02,500
as well.
Brad.
348
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,700
And I again I get the Rye, I get
The Malt, I don't really know
349
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,500
what Kasha tastes like.
So like, you know, I don't know
350
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:12,200
if some of this kind of sweeter
nuttiness is coming from the
351
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,000
corn or if it's coming from the
buckwheat.
352
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,200
But this reminds Have a whiskey.
We had about a year ago on the
353
00:19:17,208 --> 00:19:19,800
podcast from the laws.
Company out in Colorado.
354
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,000
We also did one with old elk on
that episode and one of those
355
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,700
companies had a high malt
bourbon, this really reminds me
356
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:31,900
of that bread.
Yeah, there's there's a, it's
357
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:34,700
escaping me, the exact way to
describe this.
358
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:41,200
There's just something earthy
and grainy about it, that is
359
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,300
beautiful and, and sometimes
that's an indicator of a young
360
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,600
whiskey.
But I think When you keep the
361
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,500
grain flavor on an older
whiskey, you know, this one's
362
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:53,200
age at least five years, there's
something about that, that age
363
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,700
is really nicely, and I love
this stuff, man.
364
00:19:57,100 --> 00:19:59,200
And it's always nice when we get
something that is kind of
365
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,800
outside the norm or like out of
the regular wheelhouse of, you
366
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,600
know, a whiskey category.
And this is that for sure, this
367
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,500
is really unique.
Yeah, something that friend of
368
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,000
shows, Scott's our has often
said, is like once you drank
369
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,900
enough, classic Bourbons.
Kind of drink them all.
370
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:20,500
And so at a certain point you
just start looking for a unique,
371
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:24,100
interesting, flavor, profiles
and spirit of French Lick is
372
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:25,500
done it here.
All right.
373
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,600
Well, we're off to a good start
with spirits of French, Lick,
374
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,600
why don't we get back into our
top five?
375
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,600
So for my number three, movies
that I love, but I'm DB hates, I
376
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,800
am looking at perhaps the
greatest franchise of all time.
377
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,600
We're talking about George
Lucas's, Star Wars, and Bob,
378
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,700
you've known for a long time
that I love the prequels.
379
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,100
I think that they are criminally
underrated Star Wars episode
380
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:58,100
one.
I honestly was surprised about
381
00:20:58,100 --> 00:20:59,100
this.
I thought it was going to be
382
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:03,100
lower.
It has exactly a six point five
383
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,400
out of ten on IMDb, which I was
really happy about because I was
384
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,000
expecting it to be like a 4.5,
the way people talk about it,
385
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,200
right?
For me, I love episode 1.
386
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,600
I even going back and watching
it now as an adult.
387
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,900
I think that there is so much to
enjoy about the World building,
388
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:25,600
that Lucas does I enjoy you and
McGregor a lot?
389
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,300
I think that the kid who plays
Anakin isn't nearly as bad as
390
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:32,300
what a lot of people say, he is
overall.
391
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,400
I really love this movie.
I would probably give it in the
392
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,200
same vein as click a seven and a
half to an eight.
393
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,600
It's obviously not a perfect
movie, is there.
394
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,600
There is some Awkwardness to the
film.
395
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,900
That just comes.
When you have Lucas directing,
396
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:50,100
I'm not a Star Wars fan boy to
the point where every one of the
397
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:55,500
movies is a 10 out of 10.
My best friend in the world, he
398
00:21:55,500 --> 00:22:00,000
will, he will argue till the day
he dies, that his favorite.
399
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,900
Six movies are the top, are the
Star Wars prequels and and
400
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:07,400
originals.
And so for him it's just a
401
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,900
matter of where within the top
six does this fall, I'm not the
402
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:14,200
not.
At that point, there's a few
403
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,300
movies better than Star Wars,
episode one just a few, just a
404
00:22:18,308 --> 00:22:19,900
few.
But all that being said, I
405
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:23,300
really love episode 1.
I know it is, you are not a fan
406
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,700
of it, but I think it's, I think
it's worth more than a 6.5.
407
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,200
Well, good for, you know, I will
say this, like, I truly think
408
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,900
that movie is awful like really
bad, but I'm not gonna poop on
409
00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:39,300
your pick here.
Because what, I think that I
410
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:42,600
figured out is that when you
talk about the prequels, I mean,
411
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,800
everyone knows and agrees that
the third one is the best one,
412
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,100
right?
Like episode 3.
413
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,600
Yeah, is Head and Shoulders
above the other two and it's
414
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,500
really just a matter of like do
you think it's good or do you
415
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,300
think it's great but then with
the other two I feel like people
416
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:58,600
really stick up for one or the
other like people are really a
417
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,700
fan of the first one or really a
fan of the second one and
418
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,500
there's not much crossover like
if you love episode one you
419
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:07,600
probably don't like episode 2
that much and I re-watched all
420
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,000
the prequels about a year ago
with my wife as she can, she's
421
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,700
never seen the prequels before.
And like for me episode 1 is a 2
422
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:18,900
hour movie that I could have
sworn was eleven point five
423
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:22,900
hours long and we watched it in
one sitting and like we were
424
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,200
checking our like our phones for
the time.
425
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,300
I'd say 15 minutes into the
movie like it just it never
426
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,900
worked for me but episode 2.
I was like why do people hate
427
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:33,900
this?
Like I really really liked that
428
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:36,900
movie a lot.
So I'm kind of with you like my
429
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:40,800
pick would be the second one,
but I understand that, you know,
430
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,600
I understand the impulse to
stick up for one of these movies
431
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:48,500
fascinatingly enough, both
episode 1 and 2 have a 6.5 on
432
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:51,000
IMDb yeah, that sounds about
right.
433
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:54,200
But I'm sure that it's from like
two completely different camps
434
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,700
of people to yes 100% All right,
over my number three Brad, I'm
435
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,400
picking a movie that I think
some people will have seen in
436
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,400
some people like you have
probably never heard of.
437
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,400
It's a movie that stars, Matt
Damon.
438
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,300
It's from director, Steven
Soderbergh.
439
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:11,900
So, I like it has some Prestige
behind it but it is just like an
440
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:14,500
out-and-out comedy.
It's a farce, it's called the
441
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:16,800
informant.
All right, so it's about this
442
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,800
guy who is basically a
whistleblower against his giant
443
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,700
Corporation and he wants to work
with the FBI.
444
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:27,000
And he really wants to be like
an FBI agent, like he sees on
445
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:27,700
TV.
TV.
446
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:31,100
And as the movie unfolds, what
you find is like not only is
447
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:35,300
this guy the most bumbling
informant ever.
448
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,000
But that he's been making
everything up and it's a true
449
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,200
story and they play the whole
thing for Laughs.
450
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,800
It's like it's really
compelling.
451
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:46,700
Matt, Damon is a way better
comedic actor than I think, any
452
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:48,400
of us would have probably
expected.
453
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,300
I mean, if you've seen the
oceans movies, then you know
454
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:52,200
that like he has good comic
timing.
455
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,600
But in this movie, he is playing
such a hapless loser and The way
456
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,400
that you play that and make it
actually funny is to play it
457
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,100
completely straight.
Like he's playing this
458
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:05,600
character, as if this is a
serious drama and the re and
459
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,300
because he's playing it.
So seriously, it makes
460
00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:12,700
everything even more funny.
He seems like a real good guy.
461
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:15,200
I hope he doesn't mind me
calling him Brian.
462
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,400
Instead of Aging Shepherd.
I might even try Bry out.
463
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,300
This must be very different for
him.
464
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,400
Talking to a guy like me instead
of a bank robber or a drug
465
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,500
dealer.
I could see us fishing or
466
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:28,900
whatever.
What a good listener?
467
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,100
You'll meet one of those every
day.
468
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,800
This movie just totally worked
for me.
469
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,400
I enjoyed the hell out of it.
It's a short movie.
470
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,000
I think, you know, if you find
it on Netflix, if it's streaming
471
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,200
anywhere, you really should
watch the informant.
472
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:43,800
Super enjoyable, what do you
think you would give it out of
473
00:25:43,808 --> 00:25:46,100
10?
Well, on IMDb I gave it an
474
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:48,800
eight, so somewhere between an
eight and a nine, like, you
475
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,600
know, it's kind of reminds me
of, like, Chef in that way, the
476
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,900
movie that we just reviewed.
Because, like, there's a ceiling
477
00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:58,000
for movies like this.
Like, I don't, If I would ever
478
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,300
give this movie a 10 out of 10
just because I don't really know
479
00:26:01,300 --> 00:26:03,600
like what a 10/10 version of
this looks like.
480
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,300
But in terms of like sheer
enjoyment like as an eight and a
481
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:11,500
half, it's a great movie.
It feels like there's a limit
482
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:15,700
that just an enjoyable movie can
hit, right?
483
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:17,600
Like it.
Like, there's something about a
484
00:26:17,608 --> 00:26:19,800
movie that in order to give it a
10 out of 10.
485
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,200
It has to really like move you
personally or challenge what you
486
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,000
thought Cinema could do or
Something along those lines,
487
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
where something like this.
It's just it's just
488
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,700
entertaining.
It's just funny and a good time
489
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:35,500
and the most it could ever get
is like an eight eight and a
490
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:37,600
half.
All right man, let's move into
491
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,300
our number two picks, you're on
board and you're on board.
492
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,900
You're up to bat up to hopefully
a knock this one.
493
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:49,900
Out of the park.
Shut up Bob.
494
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:53,000
My number two movie is Tree of
Life.
495
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,200
Oh nice Terrence Malick.
Knocked this one out.
496
00:26:57,300 --> 00:26:59,800
The park to continue the
baseball metaphor.
497
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:04,200
Hey, I do this movie is wildly,
good.
498
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,800
It has a six point eight on
IMDb, which out of all of my top
499
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,600
five.
This one, I understand the most
500
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,400
art house is not built for the
general population.
501
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,700
It's it genuinely is built
simply for the director and for
502
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:26,100
the actors working on it and it
works for some people and it
503
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:28,600
doesn't work for everybody.
But it works for me.
504
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,200
I give it a 9 out of 10.
I think this is probably the
505
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,900
biggest gap for me and my top
five from where I'm at to, where
506
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:40,200
I am DB is, and I understand it
and I'm okay with it.
507
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:46,200
I just think that the story of
Grace versus punishment is told
508
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,400
so beautifully and watching the
transition in the main
509
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,200
character.
When he grows to understand how
510
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,900
his evil actions affect his
family.
511
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:00,400
It's just it's just brilliant
and it's moving and it
512
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,000
challenges you and forces you to
think and I love it.
513
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,700
Yeah man.
Nothing to add to that one.
514
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:09,000
For my number two, I'm going to
really steer us into territory
515
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,200
that we don't go into on this
podcast and that is like the
516
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,100
outright horror movie.
I don't watch a ton of horror
517
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:16,400
movies.
Brad, I know you don't really
518
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,800
watch any horror movies.
I feel like I can handle some
519
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,100
and then others are just too
kind of traumatic for me to
520
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:24,900
watch.
I'm going to talk about a movie
521
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:28,500
that came out in 2007 and it's
Old Paranormal Activity.
522
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Now this movie spawned four
thousand sequels that all suck.
523
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:40,500
However, the original Paranormal
Activity is so fucking good like
524
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:43,500
practice movie.
I made the mistake of thinking
525
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,600
like yeah, I'm going to turn on
this movie at 2:00 in the
526
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,800
morning.
I was bored one night and I
527
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,700
watched this movie by myself, in
a dark room at 2 a.m. and that
528
00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:55,200
was one of the worst mistakes
I've ever made.
529
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,600
Because I You like this movie
really kind of kick-started or
530
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,100
re kick-started the
found-footage genre, that was
531
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,400
kind of popularized by The Blair
Witch Project, and the whole
532
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,700
conceit of this movie is just
like these people have cameras
533
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:12,100
set up in their house because
they think that there's
534
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:16,100
something going on and you just
watched like really eerie things
535
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:19,700
happen and then the end of the
movie happens and it's like yep
536
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:21,100
that I should have seen that
coming.
537
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,900
But what I loved about this
movie because it is such a
538
00:29:25,908 --> 00:29:29,000
shoestring budget.
But most of what's really scary
539
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
is what you don't see.
Like when a character leaves the
540
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,900
frame, you're like, what's going
on out there because you might
541
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:39,600
hear something and it is
infinitely more terrifying.
542
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:44,300
Than if you saw some like cheap
CGI thing on screen, this movie
543
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:48,600
scared me down to my bones and I
think again, it's because they
544
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,900
leave so much up to your
imagination.
545
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,800
One of the scariest movies I've
ever seen.
546
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:55,400
I tell everyone that I talked to
you about it and I get so many I
547
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,500
rolls because horror fans Eight
Paranormal Activity.
548
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,600
I don't understand why I think
this is like a prime example of
549
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,700
how to take no budget and make
an independent movie and just
550
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:09,300
like make the hell out of it.
It's a great movie.
551
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,300
It scared the hell out of me.
It's my number two pick, dude.
552
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,300
All I gotta say is I'm not
watching it, won't do it.
553
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,800
You can't make me.
I get it.
554
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:24,300
Honestly, I watched a movie on
Netflix month or two ago and it
555
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:27,000
was a similar situation.
I was like kind of tire but not
556
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:29,400
Quite going to bed.
It was like I don't know, 10:30
557
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,700
or 11 and I was looking through
Netflix I saw a movie that I
558
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:36,500
remember hearing about and I
thought looked intriguing and so
559
00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:39,300
I turned it on it.
I can't remember the name of it
560
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:44,800
right now.
It's Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy
561
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,100
Adams and he is a novelist and
he sent so this.
562
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:53,800
Nocturnal animals, bro.
That was one of the most
563
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,000
terrifying movies I've ever
watched.
564
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,500
Let's not even know who I am.
Right.
565
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:05,900
Sorry this is a genuine on a
Content warning, bad stuff
566
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:08,100
happens in this movie.
If you don't like bad stuff
567
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,100
happening, maybe don't listen
for a second.
568
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:13,800
Yep.
The movie is about a family
569
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:18,400
being forced off the road in the
middle of Texas and the wife and
570
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,400
child are dragged away raped and
murdered and they show it in
571
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,700
about as much a graphic way as
they can.
572
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,900
Bob it is Of the worst things
I've ever watched in my life.
573
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:30,400
And there is nothing redeeming
about it.
574
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,400
There was no, there is no way
shape or form that this was
575
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,900
redeeming in the end.
I hate that movie, I would get
576
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,400
give it a 10 out of 10, I
recognize that there's a lot of
577
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,100
good stuff they do in it.
It is not a poorly made film,
578
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:47,500
but it's a 1 out of 10 for me.
And how does that relate to the
579
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:50,000
Paranormal Activity thing?
I'd probably give that a 10 out
580
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,700
of 10 to maybe a 2 out of 10 if
people don't get raped and
581
00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:56,600
murdered.
Yeah, I mean there's definitely
582
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,400
murder Yeah.
Yeah.
583
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:01,400
Well, great on that note, man.
I feel like spirits of French
584
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,400
like a really going to hate us
because we keep segueing
585
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,800
awkwardly into their, their
Whiskey In other news, right?
586
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,000
Very good whiskey.
Let's take a break.
587
00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:13,600
Let's try this second spirits of
French Lake whiskey.
588
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:15,800
What do you say?
Let's do it.
589
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:24,900
Bob Bob our second whiskey from
the spirits of French Lick.
590
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:27,700
Is there William?
Dalton bobbled and bond.
591
00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:30,200
We did bourbon.
This one.
592
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,400
I am really excited about.
I've already been nosing it a
593
00:32:32,408 --> 00:32:34,400
little bit.
It's got a beautiful, beautiful
594
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,100
smell.
The mash.
595
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:42,400
Bill comes in at 70% corn, 20%
wheat and 10% to row caramel
596
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,100
malts.
Now, Bob, I have not heard of to
597
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,300
row, caramel malt.
Don't know what makes it
598
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:51,000
different from one row, caramel
malt but so far, I'm really
599
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,100
excited.
About it.
600
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:55,400
What I'm most excited for here
and they noted this in all of
601
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,100
their press materials as well,
is that they're using caramel
602
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:01,100
malt to add a little bit more
sweetness to this whole thing.
603
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:03,700
I'm really, really excited for
this man.
604
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,900
Yeah, when I get into the nose,
this is one of the most
605
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:11,900
beautifully sweet whiskeys.
I've ever smelled like the
606
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,500
caramel.
If you told me that you just
607
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,700
melted down a little bit of
caramel and pour it in my glass,
608
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:20,400
I'd be like, yeah, 100% totally
makes sense to me.
609
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,900
Let's drink it.
I will say that it does still
610
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:25,600
have a little bit of that.
Note, we were picking up on the
611
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,000
first whiskey that it's like, it
doesn't smell young, but it just
612
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,400
smells like kind of intensely
grainy.
613
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,800
Does that make sense?
Yeah, it really does.
614
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,900
There's just this kind of
foundational level of grain to
615
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:42,700
this that you're right.
You're not getting away from it
616
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:46,000
from that buckwheat.
No, no maybe.
617
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,400
I mean maybe it'll be different
on the taste.
618
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:55,100
So let's give it a sip bread.
But that's that's really nice.
619
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,800
Honestly, it reminds me a little
bit of an Irish whiskey.
620
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,000
It's just got this like
brightness.
621
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
There's a little bit of
fruitiness going on.
622
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,000
I don't know, like a honeydew or
a melon type of feel to it.
623
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,400
It's very soft.
There's not as much caramel as I
624
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,800
thought they would be.
Hmm.
625
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:15,300
Are you getting very much?
No, I'm not.
626
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,800
And I gotta say this one kind of
tastes Young To Me Brad.
627
00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:21,699
Like even though it's four
years, Old now on the buck wheat
628
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:23,800
bourbon, all their press
materials noted that they use a
629
00:34:23,808 --> 00:34:27,300
number two Char.
So like when you buy barrels,
630
00:34:27,699 --> 00:34:31,000
you can get them, charred to a
specific like level of char
631
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:34,100
alligator Char, because of what
it looks like on the inside.
632
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,300
That's like the most charge, you
can get if you're plotting, it
633
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:42,300
all out on the Spectrum.
And I wonder if the lack of
634
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:47,600
contact with like really deep
Char is kind of what is, is
635
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,400
causing these to taste a little
young to me.
636
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,900
Now, I don't know if they use
number two barrels on this one
637
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:56,300
or not, but like, it has those
same kind of young grain notes
638
00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:59,800
to me on the taste and I
wouldn't expect it at this age.
639
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,300
Yeah, I'm with you man.
Both of them have just a little
640
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:09,100
bit of that young taste that I
don't enjoy as much and maybe
641
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:12,000
it's not young, maybe it's just
the charring process that you
642
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,800
just talked about.
But overall, I think that they
643
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,800
have really interesting flavor
profiles.
644
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,500
I think the buckwheat
Fascinating, but I'm kind of
645
00:35:22,508 --> 00:35:25,100
with you.
I think that there's just some a
646
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:29,000
little hint of something missing
for me in these whiskeys now.
647
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,900
I like the uniqueness of it but
whenever you go unique in a
648
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:35,300
whiskey there's a chance that
the uniqueness isn't going to
649
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,900
work for someone.
I wouldn't go as far as to say,
650
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:40,300
it doesn't work for me.
It's just not necessarily the
651
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:43,000
first thing I would grab for off
the shelf.
652
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:46,400
Yeah, totally agree.
I will say like, at the end of
653
00:35:46,408 --> 00:35:51,000
the day I am always down to
Champion a A small producer or a
654
00:35:51,008 --> 00:35:54,100
small distiller.
I think what the the foundations
655
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:55,800
of these whiskies are.
Excellent.
656
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:58,300
I just think that like if you,
if you put him in like a number
657
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:01,800
for Char and aged him for six
years they would be mind
658
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,300
blowing.
You know what I mean?
659
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,200
Yeah, I think a little more time
in the barrel.
660
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,300
Would do these some good but but
hey, I Spirits a French Lick is
661
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:11,800
putting out really great stuff.
All right, well, we want to say
662
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,900
thanks to the spirits of French
Lick for sending us both of
663
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:15,600
these bottled and bond Bourbons.
Brad.
664
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Let's reveal our number one
picks.
665
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:29,200
Bob my number one pick for a
movie that I love just dearly
666
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:33,700
just absolutely adore.
And I am DB gives a six point
667
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:37,200
five out of ten.
The Santa Claus.
668
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:43,300
Oh nice, body more.
I think that Tim.
669
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:48,500
Tim Allen is just the most
perfect reluctant Santa Claus
670
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:52,400
that could ever exist.
I think that the the Of the
671
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,300
movie is nearly perfect.
The, the way you have the
672
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,600
estranged, dad, trying to
connect with his son, who's at
673
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,300
an age where he has no idea how
to connect to him.
674
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,000
The way they play off him.
You know, burning the Christmas
675
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,800
dinner, it flies into that Trope
of, like, you know, incompetent
676
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,800
father, but I don't think it
does it in such a way that is
677
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:22,400
hokey or, or, I don't know,
unoriginal, the the Seen at
678
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,500
Denny's the joke that he that
literally always gets me.
679
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:28,800
Is when he goes, come on, we're
going to Denny's.
680
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,100
It's an all American
establishment and then there's
681
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:35,700
just the massive business party
of Japanese business.
682
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:42,000
Men arguing with each other,
that, that cutaway just gets me
683
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:46,300
every single time.
I love Santa Claus, I think it's
684
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:48,700
very touching by the end of it,
the way he connects with his
685
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:52,600
son, it's a beautiful movie.
I'd probably give it like A to
686
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,600
an eight and a half, you know,
it's not it falls into the vein
687
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,500
of what we talked about was chef
and the front-runner, you know,
688
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:03,500
it's an enjoyable, fun,
Christmas movie that I really
689
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:08,200
love and I was amazed to see
that it has a 6.5 on IMDb.
690
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,700
So two quick thoughts on the the
Santa Claus.
691
00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:16,200
The first is it is in this this
group of like mid 90s, Christmas
692
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,200
movies, that are very weirdly
like way too adult for children
693
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,100
like theirs.
There's a lot of jokes in this
694
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:26,100
movie that are very much for the
parents, like, the movie starts
695
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:30,100
with Santa Claus falling off a
roof and dying, like Tim Allen
696
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,100
is responsible for manslaughter
for murdering Santa and then
697
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:38,000
covers up his crime by taking
the mantle of Santa Claus upon
698
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,400
himself.
It's a it's a it's a very adult
699
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,100
movie.
He falls off the roof and then
700
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:47,600
he waves at Tim Allen and then
he just, he just kind of gives
701
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,100
it's a Yoda death, man.
He gives up the ghost.
702
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,500
Yeah, he got really old.
He was tired of delivered
703
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,800
presents and so he just
disappeared.
704
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,300
All right, Yoda.
I mean, it just kind of reminds
705
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:01,700
me of jingle all the way in
that, in that fashion like that
706
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:04,400
movie.
I mean, like, a man blows up
707
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,300
police officers with a bomb.
It's just, it's very weird to
708
00:39:07,308 --> 00:39:09,600
watch that movie with a child in
2022.
709
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:13,000
The second thought I have on the
Santa Claus is unrelated to the
710
00:39:13,008 --> 00:39:19,100
movie, but but the title of the
film is so clever that it
711
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:23,600
actually ruined.
A whole generation of Americans
712
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,800
on how to properly spell Santa
Claus is named because I see
713
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,200
everyone.
Now, spell Santa Claus with an e
714
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,600
on the end.
That's not how Santa Claus is
715
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,500
spelled.
The reason the movie is called,
716
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:39,700
The Santa Clause is that there
is a clause in Santa's contract
717
00:39:39,700 --> 00:39:43,100
that like when Santa dies, the
mantle gets taken up by somebody
718
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:45,700
else.
And that Clause is the reason
719
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:49,400
that Tim Allen becomes, you
know, Kris Kringle but it's just
720
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,900
so funny because I feel like
we've all seen the cover.
721
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:55,600
That VHS so many times that
everyone just thinks that that's
722
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,100
how Santa Claus is name is
spelled.
723
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,100
Now, it's on my father'd.
Me.
724
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,500
My movie Changed History, it
sure it sure did, man.
725
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,300
All right, Brad for my number
one II didn't want to do this at
726
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:11,100
number one because I'm really
setting myself up for a
727
00:40:11,107 --> 00:40:13,600
disappointment here, but it's a
movie that's going to be coming
728
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:18,100
up later in season 5 and it's a
movie called young adult.
729
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,200
This is a film that stars
Charlize Theron.
730
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,500
It's directed by Jason.
Reitman.
731
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:24,600
Who was really just coming off
of Juno?
732
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,900
Like, Juno gets nominated for
best picture.
733
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:30,700
He gets nominated for best
director, the screenwriter
734
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:33,300
Diablo.
Cody wins the Oscar for the
735
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:37,400
screenplay and then this is like
their next big project together.
736
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,800
And this movie is like a dark
comedy to the extreme.
737
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,200
It's not like a dark comedy in
that like people are getting
738
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,600
murdered or anything like that,
but it's just like it is so hard
739
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,400
edged.
It's so cynical.
740
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,300
Like I don't want to call it
mean-spirited but it Of is and
741
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:56,800
the thing that I love about this
movie is the main character
742
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,800
played by Charlize Theron.
She was basically like the most
743
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,700
popular thing in high school.
She was the the person that
744
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:05,400
everyone worshipped and she's
just a jerk about it.
745
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,300
And now, her life is spinning
out of control at like age, 35
746
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:13,600
or whatever and she moves back
to her hometown and doesn't
747
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,500
realize that everyone kind of
knows that her life is spinning
748
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:20,800
out of control, and is trying to
re-establish herself as like hot
749
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,800
and And ruins a bunch of
people's lives in the process,
750
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,200
but her character reminds me so
much of Scarlett, O'Hara.
751
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:32,100
And when we talked about Gone
With the Wind, one of the things
752
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:35,300
we mentioned was like, what is
the character Arc for Scarlett?
753
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:37,000
O'Hara?
Like she gets everything She
754
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,700
Wants.
Does she even change at the end
755
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:41,100
of the movie?
And I think this movie kind of
756
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:45,300
keeps that in mind where they
really do kind of go for like
757
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,900
the gut, punch cynical ending,
and I love it for it.
758
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:50,900
I'm super excited for you to
watch this movie.
759
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:53,300
Brad.
It's 10/10 movie, for me.
760
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:56,500
At least it has been when I wash
it in the past, it is not a 10
761
00:41:56,500 --> 00:42:00,400
out of 10 on IMDb.
And I just, I can't wait to hear
762
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,600
what you think because I really
feel like you could go either
763
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,400
way on this movie.
Yeah.
764
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,600
The the way you've described it,
I'm intrigued and interested but
765
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:15,600
it feels like a common enough
Trope that I'm worried that it
766
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,900
actually isn't good and you're
just crazy.
767
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,300
All right, cool.
Well, well I guess we'll find
768
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:21,800
out.
So that's my number.
769
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,600
One movie and that's my little
tease for down the road in
770
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,400
season 5.
When we get around to young
771
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,000
adult.
Well, Bob we've had a blast
772
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
today.
I love these top 5 lists.
773
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,200
We should try to get back to a
more often but for now, we will
774
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,800
be back next Monday with another
regularly.
775
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,200
Scheduled episode.
Thank you guys for joining us.
776
00:42:42,300 --> 00:42:44,300
We have had an absolute blast.
If you want to join the
777
00:42:44,308 --> 00:42:47,900
conversation, talk about your
top fives that you love that
778
00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:49,900
IMDb just doesn't like for some
