Introduction and Episode Overview
00:00:28
Brian Clark
So we're back for ah another episode. We didn't take another year. We actually did it in like a year, not a year, shoot, a week or two.
00:00:34
Seth
make Yeah.
00:00:39
Brian Clark
um So i'm ah you're
Opening Scene Controversy
00:00:45
Brian Clark
you're you're going to get annoyed at this the entire episode.
00:00:47
Seth
oh
00:00:51
Brian Clark
Because we're
00:00:57
Brian Clark
I'm just going to hit it. you know hit see
00:01:03
Seth
Oh my god. Christ. Oh my god. so It's so loud.
00:01:12
Brian Clark
It's so loud, but it fits. It fits with the episode because we're going to talk about 1984's Red Dawn.
00:01:22
Seth
Wonderful.
00:01:23
Brian Clark
um Wait, what?
00:01:25
Seth
I said wonderful. I didn't need to hear any names.
00:01:28
Brian Clark
I thought you were like something, i oh sorry, I'm old.
00:01:37
Brian Clark
So I think we were talking before we started. I figured we would just kind of talk more about the movie and kind of how it you felt about it kind of compared to movies, you know, we saw now or we see now or movies that you've seen after you were born because this movie is so different
00:01:58
Seth
Mhm.
00:01:59
Brian Clark
And even when I saw it with you, it kind of caught me off guard because I think I i might have seen this once before you and I watched it.
00:02:09
Seth
One time.
00:02:12
Brian Clark
And yeah, I had seen it a long time ago and I didn't remember hardly any of it.
00:02:19
Brian Clark
And it just, it hit so hard. um And So I guess we could just start with that because it's especially because i mean it has the the opening 10 minutes of that movie are probably the hardest opening 10 minutes of a movie I think I've seen in a long time.
00:02:44
Seth
Yeah!
80s Fear of Russian Attacks
00:02:46
Brian Clark
um Because I remember when I remember reading like when it came out like that that opening scene was
00:02:55
Brian Clark
A lot of people thought it was you over the top and kind of crazy because, I mean, you know, they basically the Russians parachute in and shoot up a school.
00:03:07
Seth
Ooh, yes!
00:03:11
Brian Clark
um And especially the.
00:03:13
Seth
i thought i remember now i remember the movie now yeah they're all like yeah they're
00:03:20
Brian Clark
Um, cause you remember where the, I think it's, I think it starts at the, like they're in history class, you know, cause they're, cause you know, they're in, he he's in the middle of teaching and he, you see him like walk to this, you know, this big window and he kind of trails off and everybody's like, well, what is he doing?
00:03:44
Seth
He's like, oh.
00:03:48
Brian Clark
And you see all these people um parachuting to the yard outside the school.
00:03:52
Seth
Lying down from the sky.
Comparing Past and Present Global Tensions
00:03:56
Brian Clark
And he goes out and he's like, can I help you? And they're like, no, no, you cannot help us. And they just start bolt just blasting.
00:04:10
Brian Clark
So I I guess. And it's strange, too, because like You probably don't have well i might it know you don't have this feeling. you know and Well, in 1984, I was three. So I don't remember how it felt then. But even into the late 80s, early 90s, the Russians were scary.
00:04:41
Seth
Yeah, that's what everyone was was was crapping their pants about
00:04:48
Brian Clark
like You know, the the the Russian army, the Russian military it was a scary thing. And, you know, there was the almost normal worry of, you know, hey, you know, eventually stuff's going to kick off between the United States and Russia and we're going to go to war. And I guess
00:05:18
Brian Clark
How do you kind of place that
2012 Red Dawn Remake Discussion
00:05:22
Brian Clark
now with the way things are in the world?
00:05:27
Seth
Well, hell, I feel like even now Russia is still like this big figure that everyone still kind of stigmatizes and looks at as, oh, these guys are kind of malicious and scary. And like, cause like, you know, world tensions are like higher than they've been like now than they've been in a long time. Like, I feel like and i feel like not even just like with like russia like but with other countries like i feel like we still have that fear that you know someone could be like a little too confident one day and decided to do something stupid i feel like i don't know i will say i don't think they'd be making move they they make many movies around the topic anymore
00:06:19
Brian Clark
Well, it almost seems like now with movies that come out using Russians as a a villain, it's just not done.
00:06:29
Seth
Yeah.
00:06:32
Brian Clark
it's um i can't think I can't think of the last movie, the newest.
00:06:37
Seth
I can think of TV shows.
00:06:43
Brian Clark
I don't think there's a lot of movies that are like newer, like post, say 2010, that have Russians as a villain.
00:06:55
Brian Clark
a they They did a remake of this in 2012-ish.
00:07:02
Seth
Yeah.
00:07:02
Brian Clark
And originally it was supposed to be the Chinese.
00:07:05
Seth
Mhm.
00:07:09
Brian Clark
And that got um that got sent to the trash can because China is such a huge market for movies that they're like, no, you're not going to make a movie with us and the villain. And of course, Hollywood was like, yeah, we're not going to do that. And they chose the North Koreans, which is laughable.
00:07:33
Seth
yeah
00:07:37
Brian Clark
I don't know that the North Koreans could take over a gas station, let alone take over the United States.
00:07:48
Brian Clark
I could be wrong. um But even like even into um like the early 2000s, and I think this movie is on our list, um Some of All Fears, which was a Tom Clancy book who wrote a lot of stuff about the Russians. ah lot I think most of his early books were all about Russia in some way or another.
00:08:18
Brian Clark
um, was supposed to have, um,
American Resilience in Hypothetical Invasions
00:08:27
Brian Clark
villains that were, um, Bader Meinhof gang and, um, Middle Eastern adjacent, not Hezbollah, but close.
00:08:40
Seth
Yeah.
00:08:41
Brian Clark
And, and when they made that movie, They ended up changing it from Bader-Meinhof and Hezbollah to Nazis. It's just like, come on. you know Let's have real villains.
00:08:57
Brian Clark
um
00:09:00
Brian Clark
but And the other thing, too, that that was weird about Red Dawn, looking back on it now, it was the the invading force was Russia, Cuba,
00:09:13
Seth
Yeah.
00:09:15
Brian Clark
Nicaragua and I don't remember the other country and they invaded through Mexico.
00:09:23
Seth
Yeah. It's like a really weird smash together team.
00:09:30
Brian Clark
Yeah, and I remember that one of the sold the ah pilot that they find, um which
00:09:48
Brian Clark
used
00:09:53
Brian Clark
You know they they they find that Pilot who had gotten shot down he's out in the middle of nowhere and he said something along the lines of that a bunch of the Cubans and Nicaraguans crossed the border illegally and infiltrated military bases in the Midwest.
00:10:15
Seth
Mm hmm.
00:10:20
Seth
Mm hmm.
00:10:24
Brian Clark
And it's I just saw that. I thought, huh, where have I heard that before?
00:10:36
Brian Clark
um
00:10:39
Brian Clark
So I guess you know, the movie starts out, there you know, everybody invades, they all run off in the, there was that scene in the parking lot where everybody's trying to get out. and It's like a, it was like the crashing at the beginning, at the end of Blues Brothers.
00:11:02
Seth
Yeah, it was very insane.
00:11:04
Brian Clark
um
00:11:08
Brian Clark
They all go and run off to the woods. What, I guess what's your, cause especially cause you get this line, they all go off into the woods.
00:11:30
Brian Clark
big game mr quarterback he can go every everyone
00:11:35
Brian Clark
ah damn jo I guess
00:11:41
Brian Clark
You know, looking back on it growing up, that
Community Responses to Modern Invasions
00:11:44
Brian Clark
was kind of the normal way everybody kind of at least expected kids to act. I guess when you, when you look at that now, like, I'm not saying like, how do you think you would act if the Russians parachuted in, you know, in behind your school and you had to run off to the woods.
00:12:11
Seth
Dude, at my school, I feel like everyone would be pulling guns out at their own. We're all hicks. I feel like you'd be every man for himself. It would be insane.
00:12:24
Brian Clark
I remember. um I can't remember if it was World War Two or just or it might have been might have even been a Russian quote. um Where. Somebody was talking about invading the US and. um They said that it would be a it would be foolish to do so because. OK, now I'm at the look.
00:12:58
Brian Clark
fact check. um
00:13:00
Seth
Yeah, don't want to spread misinformation, boy.
00:13:05
Brian Clark
So it was a lot of people because a lot of people say it was Admiral Yamamoto of Japan who's saying you cannot invade the mainland the United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.
00:13:19
Seth
Yeah.
00:13:20
Brian Clark
Apparently he didn't say that. But even if he didn't say it, It's kind of true. I feel like it would be a fool's errand to try to invade because, I mean, like I always, you know, you've probably heard, you know, all the people saying, oh, you know, all these right wing people are going to, you know, go up against the government.
00:13:46
Brian Clark
They're going to, you know, resist and take over.
00:13:48
Seth
Mm-hmm.
00:13:48
Brian Clark
And I'm like, you guys are going to get absolutely demolished.
00:13:55
Seth
Dude, because I was watching, uh, War of the Worlds with Mom a couple days ago, and I was like, I was thinking about, like, I was like, how today, like, what would we actually be able to deal with this? And I was like, I was, I was, I was thinking, like, I feel like we would find a way. Like, we are, we are insane. I feel like if,
00:14:18
Seth
Someone invaded the earth doesn't have to be aliens If someone invaded our country, I feel like we would find a way because I feel like we are genuinely so crazy like I feel like We would find a way to do at least something to fight back because everyone has guns, everyone has knives, everyone knows how to make insane shit. I feel like we'd be firing fireworks at people. why That's what I'd be doing. I'd be sitting out on the porch with the Roman candles shooting at people.
00:14:58
Brian Clark
Like I saw a video the other day um from Georgia, not the not the state, the country Georgia, over by Russia. And I'll have to see if I can find it for it because it's absolutely insane. This guy had, he basically made what I would, the best way I could describe it is a Gatling gun made out of Roman candles.
00:15:21
Seth
Oh my god, my idol
00:15:25
Brian Clark
And They had, they like, you know, there were police barricades that were knocked over and he goes up and he lights it and he's just, and you just hear him go, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. And there's police with water cannons, like trying to spray him and he keeps moving it and they can't.
00:15:42
Brian Clark
And it's like, I'm like, this guy is, I mean, yeah, it's George.
00:15:46
Seth
What a legend!
00:15:49
Brian Clark
Yeah, well, and I was like, this guy is in Georgia, the country, but he wouldn't be out of place in Georgia, the state.
00:15:55
Seth
like
00:16:03
Brian Clark
you And I feel like it it's different. Like when I look at this now, I have a different feeling of it because, you know, when this movie came out, you know, if if I needed to call somebody, I had to remember their number or have it written down because you're looking up in a phone book, which half the kids your age probably don't know what what that is.
00:16:33
Seth
i know the phone book is you should get those on the on the doorstep when we got newspaper delivered
00:16:36
Brian Clark
I didn't say you, I said other kids your age.
00:16:45
Brian Clark
Yeah, we used to get them on the doorstep and I would put them in the recycle.
00:16:53
Seth
oh
00:16:53
Brian Clark
But it was, you know, if you called somebody, you had to know their number, look it up in the phone book, you knew who your neighbors were, you knew where people lived, you know,
00:17:05
Brian Clark
people had stuff like that and looking at it now, it's it's a little different because it's like, you know, heck, there's times when I, if I have to try to remember what your number, your phone number is, I have to look at my phone because I don't remember it.
00:17:24
Seth
i remember your phone number i remember months on the right and remember my own phone number i remember your mom's phone number i feel like i'd be fine i'd be like yep i'm calling everybody with an amazing casting
00:17:34
Brian Clark
So, but I just, and I'm not sure, because like, you know, in the movie, you've got this really diverse group of kids. And I look, yeah, I mean, you you can't get a better cast than it was in this movie. But there's a small part of me that looks at that group and like,
00:18:04
Brian Clark
I don't know that like even when I was your age, that I would be able to grab that many kids who thought like me to be able to do anything like that.
00:18:19
Brian Clark
And I don't know i don't know how that would work with kids your age.
00:18:19
Seth
Yeah.
00:18:26
Seth
Uh, yeah.
00:18:28
Brian Clark
Granted, it's different here. and
00:18:32
Brian Clark
I feel like it's a little different here because like all the hillbillies, okay, I hate to say I use hillbillies, but I mean, yeah, all the hillbillies back in Indiana, I don't know you would have been able to gather a couple to go with you to do anything.
00:18:46
Seth
Oh, hell no.
00:18:50
Brian Clark
what They would have probably turned you over to the Russians, but I don't know how you feel like that would work now.
00:18:59
Seth
here in Maine, I feel like Mainers already have this, while we're all kind of like loners a little bit and we kind of stick to ourselves, I feel like already we have a better sense of teamwork than a lot of other people do because we don't give a shit where you came from. Like we don't care.
00:19:28
Seth
like I don't think that that's really a big concern to a lot of people up here because like I feel like Maine being like a coastal state we have a lot of diversity but at the same time we don't um but I feel like up here I have quite a bit of people even that I'm not friends even if I'm not friends with them I feel like a couple of my classmates I'd I'd be I'd be I'd be willing to put in my group and run off and try and figure stuff out with cuz like and I have plenty of friends who I'd I'd feel comfortable with that but
U.S. Isolation in Global Conflicts
00:20:10
Seth
like here I feel like if I was just on the street with a bunch of random people I feel like I'd be okay yeah
00:20:19
Brian Clark
Like, if if stuff really hit the fan just out of nowhere, even if you were like in Bangalore, you would just be able to grab a couple of people and be like, hey, you know, we're gonna take care of each other and figure this stuff out.
00:20:34
Seth
Yeah.
00:20:36
Brian Clark
So, yeah, it's... I think it's it's just such a weird thing, you know, because they coalesce into this group. And I'm like, you know, when I think back to the friends that I had in high school, I was like, I could probably grab some of them and like, hey, you know, we're going to go figure this out. But I don't know how long long we would last because we were massive geeks.
00:21:06
Seth
No.
00:21:10
Brian Clark
You know, i I don't know how far we would have gotten, you know, it's different now. Um, I guess we could talk about too, about the casting of this movie.
00:21:23
Brian Clark
Cause you've got Patrick Swayze, who's
00:21:24
Seth
Oh, the beloved Patrick Swayze.
00:21:31
Brian Clark
he's going to be in a lot. He's going to be in some more movies that we watch. Um, Leah Thompson. she's a She's. I hate doing this because I'm like, i I see somebody's name. I'm like, oh yeah, they weren't.
00:21:48
Brian Clark
We'll have to watch Back to the Future sometime because she's in that and she's good in that. Although that movie is kind of weird. Charlie she charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey.
00:21:56
Seth
yeah
00:22:01
Brian Clark
I want to see there. were Oh, why do I think that there was more people that were in this that were in?
00:22:04
Seth
Yeah.
00:22:09
Brian Clark
um
00:22:13
Brian Clark
Oh, shoot. ah The Outsiders.
00:22:16
Seth
um Patrick Swayze is one of them and the kid who plays Ponyboy is. and there's another one i feel like this three of them
00:22:29
Brian Clark
Because Darren Dalton, who was in The Outsiders, and then was Charlie Sheen in The Outsiders?
00:22:45
Seth
but um meaning like
00:22:47
Brian Clark
Oh, I'm trying to look too. No, he was not.
00:22:56
Seth
There's, there's four of them.
00:23:01
Seth
Wait, no, it's, wait. Oh, it was only, wait, there was only two of them.
00:23:05
Brian Clark
I guess I could.
00:23:08
Seth
It was T.
00:23:09
Brian Clark
Oh.
00:23:10
Seth
Thomas Howell and Patrick Swayze.
00:23:13
Brian Clark
Yeah.
00:23:15
Seth
I thought there was three of them.
00:23:16
Brian Clark
No, there's there was three.
00:23:19
Seth
Darren Dalton.
00:23:21
Brian Clark
Yeah, he played Randy Anderson.
00:23:23
Seth
Yeah, Randy, okay.
00:23:25
Brian Clark
Whoever that is, I don't know.
00:23:29
Seth
But William Smith was some Russian guy and the store clerk from the outsiders.
00:23:39
Brian Clark
Oh, okay. So now we're up to four.
00:23:43
Seth
Yeah.
00:23:49
Brian Clark
Oh, I got it. Oh, that's not who or what I thought he was in. I was looking at the, oh, he was in the, ah he he played football. The ah teacher to be getting played football.
00:24:08
Seth
Mmm.
00:24:09
Brian Clark
in the NFL. So the the big thing about this movie is there's a lot of it.
00:24:26
Brian Clark
the The weird thing for me is you watch this movie and the big thing is they are insurgents. um I guess it's the best way I could describe it. And, you know, they're fighting back against the Russian occupiers who are trying to take them over. And, you know, of course, you would expect that, you know, anybody would look at that like, OK, that's a great thing. That's you know, anybody would do that. I just don't know how you kind of look at that now at your age. At the same time, looking at
00:25:08
Brian Clark
you know, like how people are looking at, you know, like what's going on in Gaza and all those places like that. Or it's like, how is this good? But that is it.
00:25:19
Seth
she yeah uh... uh... i have things to say about that but i can't say that here cuz they're not appropriate uh... i i don't even know like i don't feel that's the bad thing is like i feel like us as a country would be united but I don't think, I don't think anyone else would come, would would be at our aid.
00:25:54
Seth
Like maybe Europe, I don't know, some someone, maybe, I feel like we'd kind of be on our own. If in today's standards, I feel like we'd be on our own, everyone would be like, huh, huh, look what you got yourself into now, who's gonna help you?
00:26:11
Seth
Like, I don't know.
00:26:12
Brian Clark
Well, in the movie, um At one point, he talks about how um you know the the the pilot, when yeah all the guys are all the kids are like, you know what's going on?
00:26:31
Brian Clark
Because they're out in the middle of, I think it was Colorado.
00:26:34
Seth
Now.
00:26:36
Brian Clark
They're in the woods. They're like, we don't even know what's going on.
Emotional Impact of Character Deaths
00:26:39
Brian Clark
And I remember he was at one point, he's is like you know you know the UK is kind of on their own, but it's like, they're not going to last that long.
00:26:48
Brian Clark
And he kind of made it sound like nobody's coming to help us. It's just us.
00:26:54
Seth
Yeah.
00:26:58
Brian Clark
And I'm um kind of of the same way.
00:26:58
Seth
Wish.
00:27:01
Brian Clark
It's like, I don't know if if things kicked off like that. If, you know, we would be on our own, not necessarily, I don't think because nobody wanted to come to help us, but I think it would be everybody else would be dealing with the same thing.
00:27:16
Seth
yeah
00:27:22
Brian Clark
um And the other crazy thing about this movie is that the scenes of like where all the parents are, the kids as parents, they're in like reeducation camps and the kids have to go and break them out or where there was a scene where a bunch of the parents got shot you know, in a mass grave by the Russians, because I don't remember why, but, you know, that was shocking then. But I feel like now it would play differently.
00:28:08
Seth
Yeah. Everyone's pulling out their phones and recording.
00:28:15
Brian Clark
Well. On the one hand, I think people might do that, but at the same time, it's like, If things are that bad, where are you going to post it?
00:28:26
Seth
yeah
00:28:27
Brian Clark
Well, Twitter will probably still be around.
00:28:29
Seth
I hate Twitter.
00:28:33
Brian Clark
Sorry, I couldn't resist to get that dig in.
00:28:36
Seth
ah ha
00:28:40
Brian Clark
um So I guess having watched this movie and what just looking at it as a whole at your age and kind of knowing what you know growing up when you look at this movie, what is what do you think? What do you what is your takeaway of it?
00:29:02
Seth
What do you mean, my takeaway?
00:29:05
Brian Clark
Like. When you watch this movie, I mean, granted, knowing this was. This was what people thought and feared. When I was a little kid,
00:29:19
Brian Clark
When you watch it now, does it still give you the same kind of like, oh, this is kind of freaky. Or is it just you kind of look at like, it's a great action movie, but there's nothing else to take from it, I guess.
00:29:33
Seth
my feelings well first of all it is a great action movie i think it is i also it's a to me it's absolutely devastating absolutely devastating movie to me we work why it's It's so... because like i don't really and I guess I don't think about movies on that standpoint because I'm weird and autistic. but ah I sad at the end of the movie. like i was I was devastated by you know what happened to the characters. like i wasn't really
00:30:16
Seth
i guess I guess it's that to that much of a degree where I'm not concerned about it. Like, I don't follow the original message of the movie. I'm just like, sad movie with kids that I like die.
00:30:32
Brian Clark
Mm hmm.
00:30:36
Brian Clark
And it's the other crazy thing, too, is it's like you get to the end and it's like. It seems like most a lot of the cast dies. It's it's weird, too, for that.
00:30:47
Seth
Yeah. It's like I have hope.
00:30:50
Brian Clark
I.
00:30:51
Seth
I have hope for certain characters and then they die. I'm like, oh, this is wonderful.
00:30:57
Brian Clark
Because I think. Let me think. I'm looking at the cast again, because the character that Leah Thompson, she dies. I think. Patrick Swayze's brother dies.
00:31:24
Seth
Yep, and he dies too at the end.
00:31:28
Brian Clark
I didn't even. Yeah, so it's like you get to get
00:31:30
Seth
They die.
00:31:32
Brian Clark
you get to the end of the movie and like 90% of the people die. It's like, I was so invested in these people and they're all dead.
00:31:37
Seth
What the fuck?
00:31:42
Seth
ah but
00:31:46
Brian Clark
But I guess just to kind of wrap things up, I guess, when you, granted, you know, this movie was 1984 and computer graphics were not a thing, what do you think Because like you know we try to look at when you and I talk about movies, you know we we talk about you know who's in it. And we've both agreed that the you know the casting in this movie is fantastic. and I don't think there's a miss anywhere in it.
00:32:20
Brian Clark
um
00:32:22
Brian Clark
What do you think about like how it's made? because it's There's a lot of practical effects in this movie. There's actual tanks. There's actual planes. They granted some of the... Go ahead.
00:32:39
Seth
No, I was just saying I don't know I don't even think that like it was bad like it they did it pretty well
00:32:46
Brian Clark
Like there was one, I remember there's one scene that stands out that I look at when I look at like that is goofy as all get out. um when the Russians are going up against the school and one of the Russian soldiers fires an RPG into into the building, you look at that, you're like, that is on a wire.
00:33:06
Seth
Yeah.
00:33:10
Seth
What the fuck? ah
00:33:12
Brian Clark
I was like, that that's that's on a wire.
00:33:16
Seth
ah
00:33:16
Brian Clark
but Everything else looks really good. And I guess there's not really any Like, yeah, there's a soundtrack, but there's no like music.
00:33:31
Brian Clark
But I guess the big question is, you know, this movie is from 1984, which is if I do my math right.
00:33:41
Brian Clark
Oh, my God, that makes me feel so old. That is 40 years ago.
00:33:47
Seth
Damn.
00:33:48
Brian Clark
So how does this 40 year old movie, how does it hold up?
00:33:53
Seth
Well, on the account, I will say, on the account of being
Production Analysis and Legacy
00:34:00
Seth
offensive, it's not. It's not an offensive movie. I feel like, I mean, other than villainizing Russia, but you know, who doesn't?
00:34:04
Brian Clark
yeah
00:34:09
Seth
So I guess it doesn't count. oh Um, there's no really weird sexual shit in it. Like they don't force that.
00:34:22
Seth
There's no, there's no, so nobody says any slurs.
00:34:23
Brian Clark
Yeah.
00:34:27
Seth
And like,
00:34:27
Brian Clark
I will say that there is that kind of weirdish kind of romance between the pilot and one of the kids but it you but at the same time it's not forced it's not try to figure how like looking at it now you're like yeah that's kind of weird but it's also it's like it's a time of war you know things are a little different
00:34:35
Seth
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:34:58
Seth
And I feel like it's just a like a kid having a crush on ah on a guy like like
00:35:02
Brian Clark
Yeah.
00:35:03
Seth
Like a cool military guy, you know?
00:35:06
Brian Clark
Yeah.
00:35:07
Seth
And I feel like I said like the effects and like how the movie was made like it doesn't look horrible for its time. It looks really good for its time. And I think it held up very well, but maybe I'm just biased because I like the movie.
00:35:24
Brian Clark
No, I don't think you're biased. I like it, too. And like I said, I think I'd seen it once before.
00:35:30
Seth
Yeah.
00:35:33
Brian Clark
It's, as it happens a couple of times, there are several movies that we've watched. I'm like, you know, the second time I watched it, I'm like, man, I don't remember this being this good.
00:35:43
Seth
Yeah!
00:35:46
Brian Clark
So I guess we should. I know we've got some movies kind of that we've watched already that we can kind of circle around and and talk about, but we need to watch another movie coming up, especially because
00:35:59
Seth
to
00:36:02
Brian Clark
Well, mom doesn't work. Well, she hasn't updated her account her calendar. So I don't know if she works this Friday or not. She probably does. So we need to spin for a new movie.
00:36:13
Seth
We do.
00:36:15
Brian Clark
So let me see what the app gets me.
00:36:18
Seth

00:36:26
Seth

00:36:30
Brian Clark

00:36:37
Brian Clark

00:36:40
Seth
What do we get? What do we get?
00:36:42
Brian Clark
OK, this is a good one that I like, but this movie is also it is ancient, but it's really, really, really, really good.
00:36:53
Seth

Brian Clark

00:36:57
Seth

00:36:59
Brian Clark
This is a movie about World War II. It's actually kind of grounded in... um It's not like based on a true story, but close. And it has got an insane cast.
