Introduction to Paddington Gone Wild
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to Paddington Gone Wild, the internet's only award show.
00:00:04
Speaker
Yeah, get fucked, Oscars.
00:00:07
Speaker
And the Billy Crystal of this program, Red Rankin.
00:00:10
Speaker
I'm joined, as always, by my co-host in award punditry, the James Franco to my Anne Hathaway, Austin Ingalls.
00:00:16
Speaker
I fucking knew you were going to go there, you piece of shit.
00:00:20
Speaker
I was like, who's the worst?
00:00:21
Speaker
It's Ellen or it's James Franco.
00:00:23
Speaker
Those are my two options.
00:00:25
Speaker
God damn it.
00:00:26
Speaker
Whatever.
00:00:27
Speaker
You are
Who Should Host Award Shows?
00:00:28
Speaker
my Anne Hathaway, though.
00:00:28
Speaker
That's true.
00:00:30
Speaker
He thinks Ricky Gervais should just keep hosting every award show, Mr. Zach.
00:00:35
Speaker
Oh, ding, bomb.
00:00:38
Speaker
And the man just waiting on another Seth MacFarlane musical number, Joe Hayes.
00:00:43
Speaker
That's honestly true.
00:00:43
Speaker
I do love those every time.
00:00:46
Speaker
I've said it on record, and I'll say it again.
00:00:48
Speaker
Family Guy is at its best when Seth MacFarlane just throws a random original musical number into the episode.
00:00:54
Speaker
It's pretty good.
00:00:54
Speaker
He cooks.
00:00:55
Speaker
He cooks.
00:00:56
Speaker
Ricky Drew goes to award ceremonies and the Oscar goes to, there's no God.
00:01:02
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:01:03
Speaker
Good bit.
00:01:04
Speaker
I like that.
00:01:05
Speaker
You know, I'm really smart because I don't believe in God and also you're all pedophiles.
00:01:11
Speaker
And I'm like, what?
00:01:12
Speaker
Okay, that's not a joke though.
00:01:14
Speaker
Don't cast the first stone, ye without sin.
00:01:16
Speaker
Have y'all ever seen his old band videos of it?
00:01:19
Speaker
No.
00:01:20
Speaker
He was in an 80s glam band.
00:01:23
Speaker
Pop, jumpsuits, and shit.
00:01:25
Speaker
Jesus.
00:01:26
Speaker
David Bowie hair and jumpsuits.
00:01:29
Speaker
Britpop.
00:01:29
Speaker
That sounds ugly.
00:01:33
Speaker
It sounds ugly.
The Golden Marmalades Format and Nominations
00:01:35
Speaker
Oh, folks, today is a very, very, very special day.
00:01:40
Speaker
It is the Golden Marmalades.
00:01:43
Speaker
It sure is.
00:01:45
Speaker
A very special show.
00:01:49
Speaker
It is the PGW Award Show where we will crown our winners of 2024 in Film.
00:01:56
Speaker
The way this is going to work is we've come up with a couple of PGW-specific categories, and each of us has presented some nominations.
00:02:05
Speaker
None of us know each other's nominations, but you can probably guess a couple of them.
00:02:09
Speaker
And we are going to draft to see who goes first.
00:02:13
Speaker
This is mostly just to give a little bit of structure in order to who's going to talk.
00:02:19
Speaker
and if not we're gonna be yelling all over each other that's true it's true okay so I have my random.org list with all of our names and I hit generate and as it goes it will be red first then Austin then Joe and Zach will be bringing up the rear everyone knows third is the best spot are we gonna do are we gonna do snake over boys
00:02:49
Speaker
I mean, I don't know if we necessarily have to because it's not really a draft.
00:02:52
Speaker
We can say the same thing for this one.
00:02:55
Speaker
It just confirms it's a winner.
00:02:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:59
Speaker
It's true.
00:03:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:03:01
Speaker
We are going to get right into it.
00:03:03
Speaker
Should we list out all the categories first?
00:03:05
Speaker
Or are we going to go... Isn't it kind of fun to have them revealed as the show goes along?
00:03:11
Speaker
I actually shut the fuck up, Joe.
00:03:15
Speaker
The first category.
00:03:16
Speaker
This is the world debut.
00:03:18
Speaker
It's true.
00:03:19
Speaker
Nobody's ever heard these.
00:03:20
Speaker
This is the definitive award show.
00:03:22
Speaker
The Golden Globes, out.
00:03:24
Speaker
Oscars, get fucked.
00:03:26
Speaker
Gotham Awards, you can stay.
00:03:28
Speaker
I'd fuck with you.
00:03:29
Speaker
Independent Film Critics Circle.
00:03:31
Speaker
Yeah, Film Independent Spirit Awards, you know, stay in your lane, but you know, you can stick around.
00:03:36
Speaker
Critics Choice Awards, you're on my shit list.
00:03:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:40
Speaker
Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Award, though, you can stay.
00:03:43
Speaker
Yo, but you got to go up in a blimp this time.
00:03:46
Speaker
You got to do it from a blimp.
00:03:47
Speaker
Let's get all the teenagers covered in slime.
00:03:50
Speaker
It's so cool when an award is a full-size surfboard.
00:03:54
Speaker
I laughed so hard my hat flew off.
00:03:55
Speaker
Is that Teen Choice Awards, the surfboard?
00:03:58
Speaker
I think so.
00:03:59
Speaker
Surfport.
00:04:00
Speaker
I think it's Nickelodeon.
00:04:02
Speaker
No, kids' choice is the blimp.
00:04:03
Speaker
You get the blimp.
00:04:05
Speaker
Teen choice, I think, is surfboards.
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah, whatever.
00:04:07
Speaker
The first category.
Great Time at the Movies Award Nominees
00:04:09
Speaker
No, this is important, Red!
00:04:11
Speaker
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:04:12
Speaker
Jesus Christ.
00:04:13
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:04:14
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:04:16
Speaker
I'm not trying to yada yada you.
00:04:19
Speaker
Is the Great Time at the Movies Award?
00:04:22
Speaker
Oh, yeah, let's go.
00:04:23
Speaker
This is an award given out to a great time at the movies.
00:04:27
Speaker
This can be particular movie moments.
00:04:29
Speaker
This can be particular movies.
00:04:32
Speaker
I myself went with movies that I just had a great fucking time at the movies with.
00:04:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:38
Speaker
Now, boys, is it better if I present all five of my nominees and then we move on to someone else and then we'll all say our winners?
00:04:46
Speaker
Five nominees.
00:04:47
Speaker
What you talking about?
00:04:48
Speaker
Yeah, I have one.
00:04:49
Speaker
I think we're just going to do winners.
00:04:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:51
Speaker
Oh, just pick your winner.
00:04:52
Speaker
We've got a wall vote on the overall winner.
00:04:55
Speaker
No, no, no, you're right.
00:04:55
Speaker
You're right.
00:04:56
Speaker
You're right.
00:04:56
Speaker
You're right.
00:04:56
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:04:57
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:04:57
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:04:58
Speaker
You're good.
00:04:58
Speaker
Say an honorable mention, though.
00:05:01
Speaker
For sure.
00:05:01
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
00:05:02
Speaker
I am going to go ahead and say the Lee Isaac Chung film Twisters.
00:05:08
Speaker
Yeah, baby.
00:05:09
Speaker
Is my great time at the Movies Award.
00:05:11
Speaker
It's a great pick.
00:05:13
Speaker
Love that pick.
00:05:14
Speaker
Any explanation?
00:05:17
Speaker
Here's the thing.
00:05:18
Speaker
We talked about it on this podcast.
00:05:20
Speaker
Twister is a three-star, five-star movie in the sense that it is just a great fucking time.
00:05:28
Speaker
You feel a lot of emotions.
00:05:31
Speaker
I think Twister's is a three-star, four-and-a-half-star movie.
00:05:35
Speaker
I'm into that.
00:05:36
Speaker
I'm into that.
00:05:37
Speaker
I don't think it quite reaches the same heights.
00:05:40
Speaker
However,
00:05:43
Speaker
It is just so goddamn fun.
00:05:45
Speaker
It is the kind of movie that I am a little not looking forward to rewatching because getting to see it on the biggest screen possible in a loud theater is so enjoyable.
00:05:58
Speaker
And Glenn Powell had an incredible year.
00:06:01
Speaker
And I think we'll talk about Powell later on in this pod.
00:06:03
Speaker
I'm sure.
00:06:04
Speaker
But Twisters is just great.
00:06:06
Speaker
And I think shooting that entire thing on film, it looks great.
00:06:09
Speaker
It's so well done.
00:06:11
Speaker
It's got that Amblin magic to it.
00:06:14
Speaker
The Spielberg producing really helps, I think.
00:06:17
Speaker
So Twisters.
00:06:19
Speaker
Love it.
00:06:20
Speaker
Do you have an honorable mention?
00:06:22
Speaker
My honorable mention is... I don't even know who directed this flick.
00:06:25
Speaker
It's Madam Web.
00:06:28
Speaker
I got... Nice.
00:06:30
Speaker
I got...
00:06:31
Speaker
up there with the highest I've ever been.
00:06:34
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:06:36
Speaker
And watched Madam Web.
00:06:37
Speaker
Allegedly.
00:06:38
Speaker
Allegedly.
00:06:38
Speaker
And I laughed at one point.
00:06:41
Speaker
He was literally just talking about elevation, Joe.
00:06:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:44
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:45
Speaker
I was very high up in the theater.
00:06:47
Speaker
Get your head out of the gutter.
00:06:48
Speaker
Very scary.
00:06:50
Speaker
And I, for the first time in my life, I thought I was actually going to pee my pants laughing.
00:06:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:57
Speaker
It was, I just had an incredible time.
00:06:59
Speaker
I went with my friends, Cam and Abby, and it was just all giggles.
00:07:05
Speaker
At one point, I just straight up yelled at the screen.
00:07:09
Speaker
Love that.
00:07:10
Speaker
That sounds like a great time at the movies.
00:07:12
Speaker
Yeah, great time at the movies, Madam Web.
00:07:14
Speaker
I can see why you would give it to Twister over that, though, because one is objectively a better movie.
00:07:20
Speaker
100%.
00:07:20
Speaker
One's objectively dog-ass.
00:07:22
Speaker
Yeah, but, you know, it's like Fight Plane.
00:07:25
Speaker
It's fantastic fun.
00:07:27
Speaker
Okay, I guess it's my turn.
00:07:30
Speaker
Let's see.
00:07:32
Speaker
Okay, I think I'm going to go Snack Shack.
00:07:36
Speaker
Hey, that's a good choice.
00:07:38
Speaker
I don't... My only qualm is this... That I didn't put something I saw in theaters in this category.
00:07:44
Speaker
I saw Snack Shack at home.
00:07:46
Speaker
But still, I would have loved to have seen it in a theater.
00:07:48
Speaker
It's the spirit of the award.
00:07:50
Speaker
It's the spirit of the award.
00:07:53
Speaker
But I... There's just something so fun about it.
00:07:56
Speaker
And there's something so trope-y.
00:07:58
Speaker
But when it's trope-y and it's well done, I don't mind.
00:08:01
Speaker
You know, it's just...
00:08:02
Speaker
I wish we got there's another coming of age movie this year, my old ass that I really loved.
00:08:07
Speaker
Like, I just wish we got more of these things that instead of just being like schlock garbage are actually intentional and using these tropes in very cool ways.
00:08:15
Speaker
And it's also just super fucking dirty.
00:08:17
Speaker
Ernest, the B movies rule.
00:08:19
Speaker
Yeah, it's fantastic.
00:08:21
Speaker
If I want a hamburger, I don't want a fucking fancy-ass $15 hamburger.
00:08:27
Speaker
I don't need truffles.
00:08:29
Speaker
Sometimes I just want meat and lettuce, tomato, some ketchup on a bun.
00:08:34
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:08:35
Speaker
This man puts ketchup on burgers.
00:08:37
Speaker
Yeah, no thanks.
00:08:38
Speaker
I like ketchup on a burger as well.
00:08:40
Speaker
I'm with you, Joe.
00:08:41
Speaker
I like a mayo-based special sauce.
00:08:45
Speaker
I was raised by a father who puts ketchup on eggs, so you're lucky I don't do that.
00:08:49
Speaker
Fair point.
00:08:50
Speaker
I know a lot of people who would catch up on X people.
00:08:52
Speaker
I like making a burger sauce, but I would say my burger sauce is...
00:08:57
Speaker
The highest percentage is ketchup.
00:09:00
Speaker
I'm there with you.
00:09:00
Speaker
What kind of sauce would the movie Snack Shack be?
00:09:03
Speaker
Jizz.
00:09:04
Speaker
Underwear sauce.
00:09:07
Speaker
What's that action Bronson line?
00:09:09
Speaker
Whitesnake and underwear sauce.
00:09:10
Speaker
Whitesnake and underwear sauce.
00:09:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:12
Speaker
It's very good.
00:09:15
Speaker
I don't know, man.
00:09:16
Speaker
I feel like it's like the summertime vibes, maybe barbecue sauce.
00:09:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:22
Speaker
You know, it's a little sweet.
00:09:23
Speaker
You know, it's a little sweet.
00:09:24
Speaker
It's got a little sweetness, maybe a little smokiness.
00:09:26
Speaker
It's kind of beautiful.
00:09:28
Speaker
My other one for this is my honorable mention is a movie I saw in theaters that I have not really thought about much, but I did have a wonderful time watching.
00:09:34
Speaker
It was Drive Away Dolls, the Ethan Coen movie.
00:09:36
Speaker
Oh, which I just hog out.
00:09:41
Speaker
Sure.
00:09:43
Speaker
It's an 82-minute movie with Pedro Pascal and Matt Damon and Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Swarthon.
00:09:48
Speaker
I was going to say, Qualley also had a good year.
00:09:50
Speaker
Yeah, she did.
00:09:51
Speaker
She did.
00:09:51
Speaker
Very good.
00:09:53
Speaker
And I just had a great time with it.
00:09:54
Speaker
It's super fun.
00:09:55
Speaker
Clarissa and I saw it together, and we loved it.
00:09:57
Speaker
I have to be honest.
00:09:58
Speaker
I confused Driveway Dolls with the other queer-centered women movie, Love Lies Bleeding, of which the guy did have his hog out in the theater.
00:10:06
Speaker
That's true.
00:10:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:08
Speaker
I enjoyed Love Lies Bleeding more.
00:10:11
Speaker
I love lies bleeding is higher on my list.
00:10:13
Speaker
It's just, you know, there's just something about driveway dolls that I had just a ton of fun with.
00:10:18
Speaker
And it was early in the year.
00:10:19
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:10:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:20
Speaker
So that helped.
00:10:20
Speaker
No, it's okay.
00:10:21
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:10:23
Speaker
I'm just going to go ahead.
00:10:24
Speaker
Well, I'll do my honorable mention first.
00:10:26
Speaker
My honorable mention was the beekeeper.
00:10:31
Speaker
I saw that shit with my stepdad Or my stepdad in law It was complicated Matty's stepdad It was so fun I leaned forward in my seat When he kills a guy By shoving a book Into his throat Sort of John Wick-esque Statham sells it He's very good It's a great movie
00:10:58
Speaker
But my actual one, and I'll just cement this one in right now because we got two votes for Twisters, Lee Isaac Chung.
00:11:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah, baby.
00:11:06
Speaker
Great time in the movies.
00:11:07
Speaker
I love it.
00:11:08
Speaker
It's a terrific time.
00:11:09
Speaker
It was awesome.
00:11:12
Speaker
I'll also go with my honorable mention first.
00:11:14
Speaker
We've already talked about old Glinny, but a hit man is a movie.
00:11:18
Speaker
I watched three times in the weekend that came out.
00:11:20
Speaker
So even though it wasn't a theatrical release, I rarely watch a movie three times in a weekend.
00:11:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:28
Speaker
You don't do that unless you're having fun.
00:11:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:30
Speaker
A lot of fucking fun.
00:11:32
Speaker
It's a hog out movie, too.
00:11:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:35
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:11:35
Speaker
Shout out to Glenn Powell.
00:11:37
Speaker
That's a hog out and a clit out movie because that's got something for both Ginitalia.
00:11:43
Speaker
That guy munches bush, bro.
00:11:47
Speaker
Like, he goes to fucking box town.
00:11:49
Speaker
And let me tell you what, he does it until she's finished.
00:11:52
Speaker
Oh, I mean, he doesn't he doesn't stop when he gets tired.
00:11:56
Speaker
Listen, you can't see this.
00:11:57
Speaker
But Joe made a face like he had made an excellent point in an argument and like a political point.
00:12:05
Speaker
No, you're right.
00:12:05
Speaker
You're right.
00:12:05
Speaker
You're
Finalizing Great Time at the Movies Award
00:12:06
Speaker
right.
00:12:06
Speaker
He's also doing all of this, I should say, while munching down on some raisin canes, just like Glenn Powell munches on that box.
00:12:13
Speaker
I was about to say a face like he had just checkmate liberals someone like it was a little bit like a hmm.
00:12:21
Speaker
Single index finger in the air.
00:12:23
Speaker
It's because that shit came to me off the dome and I was like, damn, I am smart as hell.
00:12:28
Speaker
Damn, that's a bar.
00:12:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:30
Speaker
And Zach, what's your pick?
00:12:32
Speaker
So in the style of Red Rankin, I also listen to some jazz before my movie going experience.
00:12:38
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:39
Speaker
But yeah, Romulus in the IMAX was a really fun time for me.
00:12:44
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:12:45
Speaker
I thought about it.
00:12:46
Speaker
Yeah, went with Friend of the Pod.
00:12:48
Speaker
For all of its faults, and it has plenty, there's several scenes that on an IMAX screen feeling good are something to behold.
00:12:58
Speaker
It may come up later in our conversation.
00:13:01
Speaker
Super fun time for me.
00:13:03
Speaker
That being said...
00:13:05
Speaker
Another one in my mind was also Twisters.
00:13:08
Speaker
So it's hard to argue with this one here.
00:13:10
Speaker
Yeah, I'm good with Twisters as our overall winner, for sure.
00:13:13
Speaker
I mean, obviously I'm good with it, but I just think that that's just... It's a solid padding tingle on wild pick.
00:13:19
Speaker
100%.
00:13:19
Speaker
And we loved it.
00:13:20
Speaker
We all loved it so much when it came out.
00:13:22
Speaker
We all talked about it.
00:13:23
Speaker
All of the nominees, great.
00:13:24
Speaker
I would vote for all of them if given the chance, but I do think it's Twisters.
00:13:30
Speaker
I would have voted for Obama a third time.
00:13:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:35
Speaker
I switched up our order a little bit because I want to keep things going in a really great way.
00:13:43
Speaker
So the next category is the...
00:13:47
Speaker
Jerry Seinfeld's, they really did that.
00:13:50
Speaker
They really did that.
00:13:53
Speaker
I said it before we recorded that when the time came, Joe would show up and show out.
00:13:59
Speaker
I already did my Jerry voice.
00:14:01
Speaker
He rocked out with his cock out.
00:14:02
Speaker
That one right there was perfect.
00:14:04
Speaker
Truly.
00:14:04
Speaker
Thanks, man.
00:14:05
Speaker
Thank you.
00:14:07
Speaker
This is a category that Zach very kindly presented to us to celebrate Deride, talk about some moments in film this year that just made you go...
00:14:17
Speaker
They really did that.
00:14:19
Speaker
Hey, they really did that.
00:14:20
Speaker
Sometimes derogatory, sometimes positive.
00:14:22
Speaker
Most of my nominees are derogatory.
00:14:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:27
Speaker
Yeah, I'd say both of mine are.
00:14:32
Speaker
Yeah, mine's... I only have one.
00:14:34
Speaker
I can really only think of one, but yeah.
00:14:36
Speaker
Do we want to go snake, or should we just keep going?
00:14:39
Speaker
Let's just keep going.
00:14:41
Speaker
I like the order going back and forth.
00:14:43
Speaker
I think it adds some variety.
00:14:44
Speaker
I can go again.
00:14:49
Speaker
Okay, I'm going to do my nominee first before my honorable mention.
00:14:54
Speaker
My nominee for Jerry Seinfeld's, they really did that award, is the entirety of The Brutalist.
00:15:01
Speaker
Fair enough.
00:15:04
Speaker
They really made a three and a half hour movie in VistaVision.
00:15:09
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't have to think super hard on that one.
00:15:13
Speaker
Most of the second half of that movie is, oh, okay.
00:15:18
Speaker
That's all that this is, and they really did that.
00:15:20
Speaker
Real quick, Maddie, what was your good time at the movies award winner?
00:15:26
Speaker
I can't even remember what all I've seen.
00:15:32
Speaker
Is it like calendar year like this time last year or only 2023?
00:15:35
Speaker
What year is it?
00:15:37
Speaker
I'm on the exact same page.
00:15:43
Speaker
Yeah, the school is getting derved, you can tell.
00:15:46
Speaker
Tell them what you did with our dinner.
00:15:48
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't say it.
00:15:49
Speaker
I said it before.
00:15:50
Speaker
I messed up dinner because I'm a numbnuts and I had to go get canes and that's why I was monching on canes like Glen Powell eats pussy.
00:16:01
Speaker
That was something we discussed earlier.
00:16:04
Speaker
I just don't know what person doesn't think you need to stir in the meat to the sauce that's going to slow cook.
00:16:10
Speaker
I did not think that's where that sentence was going.
00:16:12
Speaker
Okay, I put in the meat and I thought it was, so it's a pressure cooker.
00:16:18
Speaker
It was still in the shape of the Tupperware when I opened it after work today.
00:16:22
Speaker
I thought the pressure cooker would like do it, but it turns out that it's not a pressure cooker.
00:16:31
Speaker
It's a slow cooker?
00:16:32
Speaker
So, sorry.
00:16:35
Speaker
Oh my god, that's amazing.
00:16:37
Speaker
Sorry.
00:16:38
Speaker
Joe, we love you so much.
00:16:39
Speaker
That's amazing.
00:16:42
Speaker
Maddie's pick is Twisters also, I think.
00:16:44
Speaker
Yeah, baby.
00:16:45
Speaker
What else?
00:16:45
Speaker
What all I saw?
00:16:47
Speaker
Twisters or Hitman?
00:16:48
Speaker
Wicked.
00:16:52
Speaker
Maddie's a girl.
00:16:53
Speaker
She liked Wicked because she's a girl.
00:16:55
Speaker
Austin visibly upset.
00:16:57
Speaker
I just can't.
00:16:58
Speaker
The movie's fucking terrible.
00:16:59
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:17:00
Speaker
It's not fun.
00:17:01
Speaker
It's not good at all.
00:17:01
Speaker
Zach, do you have an honorable mention?
00:17:03
Speaker
Yeah, I do.
00:17:04
Speaker
So there's this little docuseries on HBO Max, or Max as they call it these days, called Renfair.
00:17:14
Speaker
And there's several scenes where...
00:17:17
Speaker
The old man that owns this Ren Faire down near Houston is going on dates with women probably 50 years his junior.
00:17:28
Speaker
Like openly interviewing for like to be a sugar daddy.
00:17:33
Speaker
And it's like the hardest thing I've watched in a long time.
00:17:37
Speaker
It's really funny in a really cringy way.
00:17:39
Speaker
That documentary is like three episodes of just straight cringe just injected right into your veins.
00:17:45
Speaker
By the end of the documentary, I was like, that was one of the worst things I've ever seen.
00:17:48
Speaker
Because at first, the shock value of some of it, it's like, oh, that's pretty funny and silly.
00:17:52
Speaker
Then you're like, that was the most irredeemable group of people in the entire world.
00:17:57
Speaker
So yeah, that man...
00:18:01
Speaker
I don't know if he's still alive, but I hope he's still going on plenty of sugar daddy dates.
00:18:07
Speaker
Maybe he's found someone by now.
00:18:09
Speaker
Or he's dead.
00:18:10
Speaker
Yeah, who knows?
00:18:12
Speaker
Joe.
00:18:12
Speaker
Joe.
00:18:14
Speaker
Like I said, I don't have an honorable mention.
00:18:15
Speaker
I could only really think of one.
00:18:17
Speaker
It's Dennis Quaid portraying Ronald Reagan and Harvey in the substance in the same year.
00:18:22
Speaker
Oh, fuck, he really did that.
00:18:26
Speaker
Yep, he really did that.
00:18:27
Speaker
He really fucking did that.
00:18:30
Speaker
I really wish that he ate like shrimp in both movies.
00:18:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:36
Speaker
I actually don't know.
00:18:37
Speaker
Cause I didn't see Reagan.
00:18:38
Speaker
I was about to ask.
00:18:39
Speaker
I don't know if you saw Reagan.
00:18:41
Speaker
I mean, Southern, or I guess he's from California.
00:18:43
Speaker
He's not a Southern gentleman.
00:18:45
Speaker
Um, no, he's, he stole, he has Southern gentlemen, stolen valor.
00:18:49
Speaker
He does.
00:18:50
Speaker
He really does.
00:18:50
Speaker
Um,
00:18:52
Speaker
I had a few for this.
00:18:54
Speaker
So I got a little mixed up between this and another category we'll talk about of like where to put stuff.
00:18:58
Speaker
Um, but I don't want to spoil category.
00:18:59
Speaker
So we'll get there.
00:19:00
Speaker
So for this, I had two.
00:19:03
Speaker
So I guess that's right.
00:19:04
Speaker
My nomination is, uh, the kind of second to last scene in Romulus.
Jerry Seinfeld's They Really Did That Award
00:19:12
Speaker
Um, when, uh, spoiler alert, birth is given to a creature.
00:19:17
Speaker
Um, and then that creature becomes something entirely different.
00:19:20
Speaker
Um,
00:19:22
Speaker
That was crazy.
00:19:23
Speaker
I was like, oh, fuck.
00:19:24
Speaker
They went for that.
00:19:25
Speaker
I loved that in a movie that I thought was a good time.
00:19:29
Speaker
My winner is naming a character Wow Platinum.
00:19:38
Speaker
Holy shit.
00:19:39
Speaker
He really did.
00:19:40
Speaker
Speaking of, Auntie Wow might come up later.
00:19:43
Speaker
Yo, Auntie Wow's, that, yeah.
00:19:45
Speaker
That's also in the conversation for me.
00:19:47
Speaker
Megalopolis could hold a lot of these awards.
00:19:51
Speaker
100%.
00:19:52
Speaker
In my group of nominations, I came up with five.
00:19:55
Speaker
One of them is just, for this category specifically, is all of Megalopolis.
00:19:59
Speaker
Yeah, baby.
00:20:00
Speaker
They really did that.
00:20:01
Speaker
They really did that.
00:20:02
Speaker
They really did that.
00:20:03
Speaker
Hey, how do you like my Bona?
00:20:04
Speaker
How do you like my Bona?
00:20:10
Speaker
I am going to I'll do my I'll do my honorable mention first.
00:20:14
Speaker
I talked about all of Megalopolis, but I also just want to shout out this movie because it makes me so upset.
00:20:20
Speaker
The choice that Ty West made to make Maxine so goddamn boring and actively so hard, actively horrible movie, like genuinely one of the worst things I've seen in a long time.
00:20:34
Speaker
Yeah, horrible movie.
00:20:36
Speaker
That's my nomination.
00:20:37
Speaker
I'm sorry, that's my honorable mention.
00:20:39
Speaker
My actual nomination, and I don't know if all of us have seen this film, so I'll just say in the second vignette of Kinds of Kindness, the reveal of the sex scene and the sex tape is my holy shit.
00:20:54
Speaker
It's pretty fantastic.
00:20:57
Speaker
That one is slightly positive, but mostly, oh, good God.
00:21:02
Speaker
That's my favorite segment of that movie.
00:21:05
Speaker
As much as I love Lanthimos, there's a reason I shouldn't have watched that by now.
00:21:10
Speaker
I think there's a lot to like in it.
00:21:11
Speaker
I do too.
00:21:12
Speaker
I don't think it's successful fully, but I think it's decent.
00:21:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:21:17
Speaker
We have four distinct nominees.
00:21:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:20
Speaker
I haven't seen The Brutalist, so I can't like, I like agree with you in theory.
00:21:26
Speaker
I still haven't seen The Brutalist either, so I'm sorry, Zach, here.
00:21:29
Speaker
But in Praxis, I don't know.
00:21:32
Speaker
I have to go with naming a character WoW Platinum.
00:21:35
Speaker
I'm okay with WoW Platinum being the winner for this one.
00:21:38
Speaker
Naming a character WoW Platinum rules, dude.
00:21:40
Speaker
It's the best.
00:21:42
Speaker
It's positive.
00:21:44
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:21:44
Speaker
I like the positivity.
00:21:45
Speaker
And good on Aubrey Plaza for just fucking sending it.
00:21:49
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:21:50
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:21:51
Speaker
I was about to make a really insensitive joke.
00:21:53
Speaker
I'm not going to do it.
00:21:54
Speaker
Thank you.
00:21:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:55
Speaker
I'll tell you all after.
00:21:58
Speaker
Joe, I bet you're picking up what I'm shitting.
00:22:00
Speaker
Yeah, I'm putting it in a bag.
00:22:02
Speaker
I'm lighting it on fire.
00:22:04
Speaker
Amen, brother.
00:22:05
Speaker
Okay, Red, would you like to get our next category?
00:22:07
Speaker
Yeah,
For the Ladies Award Discussion
00:22:08
Speaker
the next category is the For the Ladies Award.
00:22:13
Speaker
Because PGW respects and cherishes women.
00:22:20
Speaker
My nominee is just the... I'm sorry.
00:22:23
Speaker
Actually, I'm going to give my honorable mention first.
00:22:29
Speaker
I am just going to put Zendaya making boys kiss.
00:22:31
Speaker
That's my honorable mention.
00:22:33
Speaker
Yeah, I like that.
00:22:34
Speaker
Nah, kiss.
00:22:36
Speaker
Yeah, Zendaya making boys kiss is pretty sick.
00:22:40
Speaker
And my nominee is the entire film Red Rooms as a role boss flick.
00:22:48
Speaker
That one's for the girl bosses?
00:22:50
Speaker
That one is for the ladies for sure.
00:22:52
Speaker
Oh no.
00:22:53
Speaker
Did you see that letterboxd list on Twitter that was just like, great films to show someone who's never seen a movie before.
00:23:02
Speaker
Red Rooms could be on the great first date movies list.
00:23:06
Speaker
Oh yeah.
00:23:08
Speaker
You will know that other person immediately by their response to that movie.
00:23:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:15
Speaker
I like those red
00:23:17
Speaker
I, for me, I was having trouble thinking of like real moments.
00:23:25
Speaker
My nominee is The Idea of You.
00:23:29
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:23:30
Speaker
Which I don't hate.
00:23:32
Speaker
I think it's like pretty unsuccessful, but I think Anne Hathaway is genuinely great in it and no one's ever looked hotter.
00:23:40
Speaker
So she's pretty great.
00:23:42
Speaker
Is that the better version of Baby Girl?
00:23:45
Speaker
Oh, it's much better than Baby Girl.
00:23:47
Speaker
IMO.
00:23:47
Speaker
It's not hard to be better than Baby Girl.
00:23:50
Speaker
Yeah, that was another, they really did that moment for me when leaving the theater of Baby Girl just being like, they really did that?
00:23:58
Speaker
You know?
00:24:01
Speaker
I think both of the nun movies this year worked.
00:24:07
Speaker
So for the ladies, first omen particularly, but also immaculate, I thought was okay.
00:24:12
Speaker
I'm going to go with Furiosa.
00:24:15
Speaker
Hard to leave that one out.
00:24:17
Speaker
It's for the ladies for me.
00:24:18
Speaker
And it's a movie that I still have at number... It's high on my list.
00:24:25
Speaker
I don't find really any other place to talk about in our awards, sadly, but I wanted to shout it out here.
00:24:31
Speaker
Yeah, excellent.
00:24:35
Speaker
My, for the ladies, honorable mention is...
00:24:41
Speaker
I love eating your pussy, Auntie Wow from Megalopolis.
00:24:54
Speaker
I had to talk about it.
00:24:55
Speaker
If anyone's for the ladies, it's Shia LaBeouf.
00:24:58
Speaker
Shia is a known respecter of women.
00:25:00
Speaker
And yeah, so that's my honorable mention.
00:25:12
Speaker
My actual for the ladies award nominee is the Glenn Powell white t-shirt cowboy hat moment from Twisters.
00:25:20
Speaker
I'm bringing it back up.
00:25:21
Speaker
It's really fucking good.
00:25:23
Speaker
Because I remember sitting next to Maddie and her going, yeah.
00:25:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:29
Speaker
As soon as he walked out, she was like, yeah.
00:25:31
Speaker
I mean, I've told the story on this podcast, I know.
00:25:34
Speaker
But, you know, going into that movie, I've been preaching the gospel of Glenn Powell forever.
00:25:39
Speaker
And Clarissa was just like, I just I don't I don't quite get it.
00:25:42
Speaker
I think he's good, but I don't get it.
00:25:44
Speaker
The moment the moment he walks out of the house in the white T-shirt, she grabbed my arm.
00:25:48
Speaker
yeah and i was like yeah i mean i said this on our twisters pod but like several like tween girls stood on their chairs in the theater when that happened yes dude it's i mean that and i i gotta give it up to i one more audible mention i gotta give it up to the um the subtext of the scene where the mom comes in and is basically like hey do you guys want to fuck yeah
00:26:12
Speaker
Please.
00:26:13
Speaker
There's a bedroom upstairs.
00:26:14
Speaker
I won't come in.
00:26:15
Speaker
I won't listen.
00:26:16
Speaker
I'll go somewhere else.
00:26:16
Speaker
You guys can fuck.
00:26:17
Speaker
I promise.
00:26:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:19
Speaker
She basically looks at her daughter and says, why do you not want to fuck him?
00:26:23
Speaker
Do you see him?
00:26:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:24
Speaker
Do you have eyes?
00:26:25
Speaker
Psycho.
00:26:29
Speaker
I like that, Joe.
00:26:30
Speaker
That's a good one.
00:26:31
Speaker
All right.
00:26:32
Speaker
So my honorable mention is Demi Moore, particularly the mirror scene.
00:26:40
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:26:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:42
Speaker
That one's hard to leave out of this category.
00:26:44
Speaker
One of the best scenes of the year.
00:26:45
Speaker
yeah um but my nomination is for isabella rossellini in conclave god what a pick mother yeah mother mother served she's mothering mama say mama i might add oscar nominated rossellini yeah absolutely i like i like that i like a shout out for conclave in this spot
00:27:10
Speaker
I vote with that.
00:27:12
Speaker
Conclave is a movie we all loved, but it's hard to talk about when we're being silly because it's just so like... I have very few.
00:27:21
Speaker
I... This is hard for me because I do think that Joe nailed it with a moment for the ladies.
00:27:25
Speaker
Now granted, that is specifically for ladies that are attracted to men.
00:27:30
Speaker
Right.
00:27:31
Speaker
but it's if it makes you feel any better i'm voting for rossellini on this one i think that well i'm outvoted so there we go i just think that it's a tough one it's there's a lot to a lot to love here because i i didn't even think about that but i do remember like that's another hell yeah from maddie sitting next to me in the theater like it was like uh when she when she was like talking her shit maddie was like yeah
00:27:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:58
Speaker
So either empowering or horny.
00:28:03
Speaker
We have to choose.
00:28:05
Speaker
Well, I mean, I'm already voted three to one.
00:28:07
Speaker
So Isabel Rossellini, congratulations.
00:28:11
Speaker
And congratulations for probably going to be winning an Oscar coming up soon.
00:28:17
Speaker
If Saldana's out, it's going to be interesting.
00:28:20
Speaker
Saldana, yeah, I don't know.
00:28:22
Speaker
We'll see if Saldana's the final fucking domino to fall from all this shit.
00:28:26
Speaker
Yeah, God.
00:28:28
Speaker
We'll see.
00:28:29
Speaker
The next category.
00:28:30
Speaker
There's
Fitted Like Paddington Award for Best Dressed
00:28:31
Speaker
no funnier thing to me than just people crashing out right before award ceremonies.
00:28:36
Speaker
Dude, I was talking to Andy, I cannot remember anything worse than this in the last 10 years of being obsessed with the art.
00:28:45
Speaker
It's an internet shitstorm, too.
00:28:47
Speaker
It's a good thing Michael B. Jordan doesn't have a movie this year.
00:28:51
Speaker
Yeah, I know we got Michael B. Jordan being like, Jonathan Majors is my buddy.
00:28:55
Speaker
He didn't do anything wrong.
00:28:56
Speaker
We got Kanye selling swastikas.
00:28:58
Speaker
He wasn't accused.
00:28:58
Speaker
He was convicted.
00:28:59
Speaker
And then we got Gascon tweeting crazy shit.
00:29:08
Speaker
Just tweeting.
00:29:09
Speaker
Yeah, she is just out here saying some shit.
00:29:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:12
Speaker
And then being like and then being like the fake news media and the allegations against me.
00:29:18
Speaker
And it's like, lady, I could see the tweets on your Twitter.
00:29:22
Speaker
I love it when people say for a tweet, it was taken out of context.
00:29:27
Speaker
Yes.
00:29:28
Speaker
The context is.
00:29:31
Speaker
you know what?
00:29:32
Speaker
I don't like these Jews.
00:29:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:35
Speaker
Twitter literally has, they literally count characters in your tweets so that there's no context.
00:29:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:40
Speaker
Like, that's the context.
00:29:42
Speaker
Saying why the fuck are there so many Muslims in Spain, that's, there's no context.
00:29:47
Speaker
You can't say that in a context that makes it good.
00:29:50
Speaker
No.
00:29:51
Speaker
There is a context that makes it very easily explained.
00:29:55
Speaker
Yeah, I'd read a history book.
00:29:59
Speaker
Oh, and the next category.
00:30:01
Speaker
Right from For the Ladies into Us All Dating on a Lady.
00:30:05
Speaker
Into the Fitted Like Paddington Award for the person who had that shit on the most in a film this year.
00:30:13
Speaker
There's a lot of fits this year.
00:30:15
Speaker
A lot of fits.
00:30:16
Speaker
There were a lot of fits.
00:30:17
Speaker
There were a lot of fits.
00:30:19
Speaker
I'm excited because I went with kind of a wild card for this one.
00:30:22
Speaker
Zach, it's back to you.
00:30:24
Speaker
Yeah, this one might end up being someone's nomination, but I'm going to just say it for the sake of it has to be said for sure.
00:30:34
Speaker
Just for the sake of Denzel.
00:30:36
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:30:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:38
Speaker
He put those rings on and I'm going crazy.
00:30:42
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:30:44
Speaker
That's fitted to a T. Absolutely.
00:30:46
Speaker
He had that shit on.
00:30:48
Speaker
He had that shit on.
00:30:50
Speaker
But my actual nomination is actually going to be Tom Hardy and the Bike Riders.
00:30:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:58
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:30:59
Speaker
Maybe the only nomination for that movie that we're going to see.
00:31:02
Speaker
No, genuinely.
00:31:02
Speaker
I don't think it's a very good movie, actually.
00:31:04
Speaker
But yeah, I pick him in front of Butler because Butler's just wearing the classic punk leather jacket the whole time.
00:31:11
Speaker
But there's a few shirt-jean jacket combos that Tom Hardy has in that movie.
00:31:17
Speaker
Sure, he looks hot as hell.
00:31:19
Speaker
He gets them off.
00:31:20
Speaker
I love it.
00:31:22
Speaker
Joey.
00:31:23
Speaker
My honorable mention is Daniel Craig's fits in Queer.
00:31:28
Speaker
Ooh.
00:31:28
Speaker
He is.
00:31:29
Speaker
He is dressed.
00:31:30
Speaker
Fuck up in this movie.
00:31:34
Speaker
He rocks a fedora better than anyone I've ever seen.
00:31:37
Speaker
Beautiful.
00:31:39
Speaker
Good suits.
00:31:41
Speaker
Good beach fit in this movie from him.
00:31:46
Speaker
Good full buttocks in this movie from Daniel Craig.
00:31:51
Speaker
Craig's really been upping his tailoring game.
00:31:53
Speaker
He kind of left behind the... His suits were way too tight for a while.
00:31:57
Speaker
His tailoring has gotten significantly better.
00:32:00
Speaker
And he's been walking the runway in a lot of Luaybe, which is sick.
00:32:04
Speaker
He's tied with Jonathan Anderson for sure.
00:32:06
Speaker
His fits are...
00:32:08
Speaker
Going crazy.
00:32:09
Speaker
And he also does suck Omar Apollo's dick crazy style.
00:32:13
Speaker
I'm not kidding.
00:32:19
Speaker
When we talked about the handmaiden with the pussy Foley, the dick sucking Foley in Queer is next level.
00:32:25
Speaker
It's sloppy.
00:32:26
Speaker
That's so exciting.
00:32:30
Speaker
Real quick while we're going on rabbit trails because this is what we do here.
00:32:34
Speaker
While we're talking about sex scenes and movies, I just saw The Devil's Rejects, which has one of the most convincing simulated sex scenes I've ever seen.
00:32:43
Speaker
Man, that sex scene was uncomfortable.
00:32:45
Speaker
Dude, what the fuck, man?
00:32:47
Speaker
I was thinking about firing that up tonight.
00:32:48
Speaker
Now I'm a little concerned.
00:32:50
Speaker
I mean, throughout most of that movie, I was viscerally uncomfortable.
00:32:53
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
00:32:56
Speaker
uh excellent my actual uh nominee for fit for fitted like paddington for having that shit on jack ben singer and rap world baggy jeans hoodie over the avenged sevenfold t sideways beanie with da brim you know what i'm saying
00:33:14
Speaker
Yes, dude.
00:33:15
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:33:15
Speaker
Hell yeah, brother.
00:33:17
Speaker
That's great, man.
00:33:18
Speaker
Dropping bars like I did a Bukkake all over Benghazi.
00:33:25
Speaker
So I got a shout out.
00:33:28
Speaker
Well, actually, all the fits in rap world are pretty crazy.
00:33:30
Speaker
They're fantastic.
00:33:32
Speaker
But I got the Ben Singer fit.
00:33:34
Speaker
The Avenged Sevenfold t-shirt really makes it.
00:33:36
Speaker
Yeah, 100%.
00:33:37
Speaker
It speaks to a certain era of really terrible white guy.
00:33:42
Speaker
Oh, excellent shout, Joe.
00:33:44
Speaker
This is, this is why you're here.
00:33:46
Speaker
This is why you're one of the great voices in podcasting.
00:33:51
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:33:51
Speaker
I think it's fantastic.
00:33:53
Speaker
Um, I'm going to do two quick honorable mentions.
00:33:55
Speaker
Sure.
00:33:56
Speaker
One, one is the, uh, red rooms, uh, impersonation fit.
00:34:00
Speaker
Great choice.
00:34:01
Speaker
Unbelievable.
00:34:02
Speaker
Unbelievable fit.
00:34:03
Speaker
Zach, you're going to, you're going to watch it.
00:34:05
Speaker
You're going to love it so much.
00:34:06
Speaker
Um, fantastic.
00:34:08
Speaker
Uh,
00:34:10
Speaker
All of Timmy's stuff in A Complete Unknown, but particularly the green polka dot shirt that he wears towards the end.
00:34:18
Speaker
Fantastic.
00:34:20
Speaker
I think the character most fitted up all year might be controversial.
00:34:24
Speaker
Long legs.
00:34:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:28
Speaker
That is quite controversial.
00:34:29
Speaker
He was fitted.
00:34:30
Speaker
He had that shit on.
00:34:31
Speaker
His makeup game is strong.
00:34:37
Speaker
Very good makeup game.
00:34:38
Speaker
That local core game strong.
00:34:41
Speaker
The code is coding.
00:34:43
Speaker
The coat is coating, man.
00:34:44
Speaker
That white sort of like Sherpa that he's got on, pretty good.
00:34:49
Speaker
He was Slay Mama-ing.
00:34:51
Speaker
Yeah, it's pretty good.
00:34:55
Speaker
He was Slay Mama-ing about Longlegs.
00:34:57
Speaker
It's so fucking funny.
00:34:59
Speaker
Longlegs hit up the Burlington Coat Factory with a Chris 50, and he came out of there fully fitted up.
00:35:11
Speaker
Shout out to the Burlington Coat Factory.
00:35:13
Speaker
Sponsor us.
00:35:14
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:35:15
Speaker
PGW proudly brought to you by the Burlington Coat Factory.
00:35:19
Speaker
It just makes me think of Oh Hello and the way specifically that Gil Faison says Burlington Coat Factory.
00:35:28
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:35:31
Speaker
Well, my... I'm sorry.
00:35:37
Speaker
I have to talk about my two favorite of Holo things.
00:35:39
Speaker
First of all, I saw it on Broadway.
00:35:42
Speaker
You saw Oh Hello on Broadway.
00:35:44
Speaker
I saw Oh Hello on Broadway.
00:35:45
Speaker
It was one of the great nights of my life.
00:35:46
Speaker
Who was the guest?
00:35:48
Speaker
Steven Pasquale, great theater actor and he's been in some movies.
00:35:52
Speaker
He was on Rescue Me for a long time.
00:35:56
Speaker
But the moment where they're doing the montage and he keeps going, Ravi, I'm on the floor.
00:36:02
Speaker
Ravi, it's me, Gil, I'm on the floor.
00:36:07
Speaker
Watching it on stage when he says...
00:36:10
Speaker
Ravi, would you go to the Magnolia Bakery tour?
00:36:14
Speaker
The Magnolia Bakery is seen on the Sex and the City walking tour and just open fire.
00:36:18
Speaker
That's the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.
00:36:25
Speaker
Violence can be funny.
00:36:27
Speaker
It can be very funny.
00:36:28
Speaker
And then they did a 92nd Street wide talk with John Oliver and one of the one of the audience questions.
00:36:36
Speaker
So they couldn't prepare for this.
00:36:37
Speaker
This is all Mulaney monologuing.
00:36:38
Speaker
And they were doing it in character.
00:36:40
Speaker
And a girl says, like, what's a moment that you think back on is really embarrassing?
00:36:45
Speaker
And.
00:36:47
Speaker
John Mulaney just goes, with my second wife, I took her to the doctor and he told her you have lupus.
00:36:53
Speaker
Maybe you're born with it.
00:36:54
Speaker
And I cracked.
00:36:55
Speaker
Maybe it's Maybelline.
00:37:01
Speaker
Oh, sorry.
00:37:03
Speaker
I'm so sorry.
00:37:04
Speaker
I'm so sorry.
00:37:05
Speaker
I do not apologize.
00:37:07
Speaker
I love those.
00:37:08
Speaker
I love a hello so much.
00:37:09
Speaker
Oh, hello rules.
00:37:10
Speaker
I need to fire it up again.
00:37:12
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:37:13
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:14
Speaker
Much tuna.
00:37:15
Speaker
Timmy in A Complete Unknown was one of my honorable mentions.
00:37:21
Speaker
But I think I'm going to switch to a different honorable mention and then I'll go to my actual nominee.
00:37:26
Speaker
Gosling in the white T-shirt, old beat up Levi's and the Red Wing Mock Toes in Fall Guy, I think is just like a...
00:37:37
Speaker
Gosling had that shit on in Fall Guy for sure.
00:37:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:40
Speaker
And I think it's a real understanding of just from a fashion perspective of like...
00:37:48
Speaker
Sometimes wearing something that is old and actually looks worn in is an incredible look.
00:37:55
Speaker
And the Miami Vice jacket from that movie is really good also.
00:37:59
Speaker
Even though it was corny on purpose, the club fit was still a thing.
00:38:04
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
00:38:06
Speaker
It also just helps that when you're as beautiful and confident and shaped like Ryan Gosling, it's very easy.
00:38:12
Speaker
When you consider shape and drape, it's very easy to make things look good.
00:38:15
Speaker
I wish that we had done this last year or a couple years ago so that we could have all universally agreed on Ryan Gosling wearing the mink from Barbie.
00:38:25
Speaker
Oh, yeah, 100%.
00:38:27
Speaker
Had that shit on.
00:38:28
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:38:28
Speaker
Incredible.
00:38:29
Speaker
But my actual nominee is Jesse Plemons in the heart glasses in Civil War.
00:38:34
Speaker
Yes.
00:38:35
Speaker
That's good.
00:38:36
Speaker
That's really good.
00:38:38
Speaker
What kind of American are you?
00:38:40
Speaker
When I thought about favorite fits of the year, that was one just burned into my brain of just like one.
00:38:48
Speaker
I think it really speaks to the way it does a lot of like environmental storytelling of like these are clearly guys who are genuinely like.
00:38:58
Speaker
just kind of going through stolen valor.
00:39:00
Speaker
Like the fact that he's got like kind of a scruffy beard and his hair kind of touches off of a dead body for sure.
00:39:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:06
Speaker
His hair kind of touches his collar.
00:39:08
Speaker
Like the entire uniform looks a little frumpy.
00:39:11
Speaker
Like these are not real military men.
00:39:14
Speaker
So I think it does a lot of environmental storytelling in that way.
00:39:16
Speaker
And I think he looks hilarious with those goddamn sunglasses.
00:39:19
Speaker
So I concur with you on this one, Redd.
00:39:22
Speaker
Yeah, I'm totally chill voting for I think I think the the Plemons fit is I mean in the they're in the zeitgeist now like that's yeah, because I remember seeing that rotation and going like, okay, like Civil War.
00:39:37
Speaker
What the fuck is this going to be about?
00:39:38
Speaker
And then I saw Plemons in the heart glass to saying what kind of American are you?
00:39:41
Speaker
And I was like, yeah, okay.
00:39:43
Speaker
I'm in.
00:39:44
Speaker
I'm in.
00:39:44
Speaker
You sold me.
00:39:45
Speaker
I rewatched that a couple of weeks ago.
00:39:47
Speaker
And there's the moment in that scene where the guy was from Hong Kong has to tell him he's from Hong Kong.
00:39:53
Speaker
And Plum just goes, he's like, what?
00:39:55
Speaker
And he says, Hong Kong.
00:39:56
Speaker
He says, oh, China.
00:39:58
Speaker
And then he shoots him.
00:39:59
Speaker
And it's just like, oh, fuck.
00:40:02
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:40:02
Speaker
Especially in the IMAX theater where that gunshot sounded like it was in the room.
00:40:06
Speaker
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:40:08
Speaker
And I think that movie is very special.
00:40:10
Speaker
Speaking of oh, fuck, that brings us into our next category.
Oh, Fuck Award for Shocking Moments
00:40:14
Speaker
The oh, fuck award for the moment in a movie this year that made you say, oh, fuck.
00:40:23
Speaker
And there were plenty.
00:40:24
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:40:25
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:40:27
Speaker
There are plenty.
00:40:28
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:40:29
Speaker
And there's a lot of ways that you can take this.
00:40:32
Speaker
This was honestly one of the harder categories for me to...
00:40:37
Speaker
narrow down and come up with some nominees.
00:40:41
Speaker
And so I could rattle off a bunch of honorable mentions, but I think there's going to be some overlap here.
00:40:45
Speaker
So I'm going to intentionally pick an honorable mention.
00:40:48
Speaker
I don't think we're going to hear, and then I'll give my nominee.
00:40:51
Speaker
My honorable mention is,
00:40:53
Speaker
is probably the first moment this year in a movie where I was like, oh, fuck.
00:40:59
Speaker
And it's the magnetic mines in Dune Part II.
00:41:02
Speaker
That's my honorable mention.
00:41:04
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:41:06
Speaker
It's fucking sick as hell.
00:41:07
Speaker
It was a moment of which, sit up in your chair, holy shit.
00:41:13
Speaker
And it's a reminder of you are in the hands of a master scale and action filmmaker in Denis.
00:41:22
Speaker
So absolutely incredible moment.
00:41:24
Speaker
Love that.
00:41:25
Speaker
That's my honorable mention.
00:41:28
Speaker
But my actual one.
00:41:32
Speaker
is going to be the... Essentially the final 20 minutes of The Substance, but really the first reveal of Monstro Elissisu as like a, oh, fuck.
00:41:43
Speaker
This movie has been building all this body horror stuff for, you know, it's an almost two and a half hour film.
00:41:49
Speaker
Like, for two hours, you've been building... Yeah, 100%.
00:41:52
Speaker
You've been building towards this...
00:41:54
Speaker
this body horror masterpiece and wondering and they've been building it up the whole time you know that the New Year's Eve is going to be the climax but wondering where it goes and it ending on Monstro Alyssa Sue and the blood spray and the face on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and everything is my oh fuck moment of the year yeah that's a great shout
00:42:23
Speaker
Okay, my honorable mention, I'm going to do two really quick.
00:42:28
Speaker
One is Cardinal fucking Spaghetti-O hitting his vape.
00:42:34
Speaker
Every time a motherfucker hits his vape, I went, oh, fuck.
00:42:38
Speaker
It was cool every time.
00:42:40
Speaker
He was ripping that shit.
00:42:42
Speaker
Pretty sick every time.
00:42:44
Speaker
I also had writing Shai Haloud.
00:42:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:47
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:42:48
Speaker
Like, you know, like that moment really sitting up in the theater and just being like, fuck that, you know, they're they're doing this shit.
00:42:56
Speaker
My winner is.
00:43:00
Speaker
The ending of Conclave when Zweig puts the ball in the hole on his racket and reveals... Of Conclave or Challengers?
00:43:10
Speaker
Challengers.
00:43:10
Speaker
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:43:12
Speaker
I was... That's like Zweig in Challengers?
00:43:15
Speaker
Yeah, it was Zweig in Challengers.
00:43:16
Speaker
When Josh O'Connor at the very end puts the ball into the hole and reveals to Mike Feist everything that's happened.
00:43:23
Speaker
I literally, I mean...
00:43:25
Speaker
Everybody in my theater was like, holy shit.
00:43:27
Speaker
Everybody went, oh, lean forward in the chair.
00:43:30
Speaker
I was like, I was like lifting out of my seat during that whole last, because the music kicks in too.
00:43:35
Speaker
Oh, dude, it's phenomenal.
00:43:37
Speaker
It's phenomenal.
00:43:37

Speaker
Still haven't seen it.
00:43:58
Speaker
It doesn't spoil anything for you because boy, does it go on for a long time?
00:44:05
Speaker
I think it was basically Damien Leone receiving the criticism of how come he only does all the crazy shit to women?
00:44:11
Speaker
And he's like, okay.
00:44:14
Speaker
And then he just fucking I mean he mutilates this guy It was pretty cool I have to say it was a very big oh fuck Moment I gotta go I gotta go Rebel Ridge I think he's on the Wikipedia Yeah That one was just fantastic Last honorable mention is The Alien-Human Hybrid from Romulus

They were holding out on me.

00:45:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:45:17
Speaker
That shit is nuts.
00:45:20
Speaker
That's a really good one.
00:45:21
Speaker
It was just one of those things where I was like, George Miller is the coolest fucking dude on the planet.
00:45:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:45:26
Speaker
How did he do that?
00:45:27
Speaker
not to hijack some honorable mentions, but I also had Kellyanne.
00:45:30
Speaker
Kellyanne was almost my shout.
00:45:33
Speaker
Kellyanne getting dressed.
00:45:34
Speaker
That was almost my nomination.
00:45:35
Speaker
And then funny enough, another one of my honorable mentions was the scene Praetorian Jack getting killed and Furiosa losing her arm.
00:45:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:45:44
Speaker
That scene was another.
00:45:44
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:45:46
Speaker
But I just, if I was going to do a Furiosa when I had to do it when those guys start flying, because it's legit.
00:45:51
Speaker
It's one of the best looking moments of the year.
00:45:53
Speaker
It's so cool.
00:45:54
Speaker
It's just one, it's another one of those moments too in a movie where you go, fuck, movies are magic.
00:46:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:02
Speaker
Absolutely, man.
00:46:03
Speaker
I love it.
00:46:04
Speaker
What a great movie that is.
00:46:05
Speaker
I need to rewatch it.
00:46:06
Speaker
Zaka'V?
00:46:07
Speaker
Mine were almost identical to Red's.
00:46:09
Speaker
A lot of the ones you just said, Joe, for sure.
00:46:12
Speaker
Another honorable mention I'll throw in, there is literally the opening shot of Enora.
00:46:18
Speaker
I still got to see it.
00:46:20
Speaker
Oh my god, dude.
00:46:23
Speaker
You know what movie you're going to see, and then it opens that way, and you're like, oh, fuck.
00:46:28
Speaker
He's doing it.
00:46:29
Speaker
He's going.
00:46:31
Speaker
We should do some more split boy opters.
00:46:33
Speaker
Those were fun.
00:46:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:37
Speaker
But my I mean, the one I was going to nominate is also from The Substance, but it's the first it's like the close up you see of the spinal fluid in the closet.
00:46:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:46:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:50
Speaker
That's the one that probably out of anything made me viscerally say, oh, fuck out loud.
00:46:56
Speaker
Mm hmm.
00:46:57
Speaker
My moment in The Substance is when the two, when Elizabeth and Sue are fighting, and she keeps smashing her head into the mirror.
00:47:06
Speaker
Mine was when she kicked her.
00:47:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:09
Speaker
Oh, does she have super strength?
00:47:11
Speaker
Yeah, it's insane.
00:47:12
Speaker
You could just put up the entirety of The Substance for the over.
00:47:15
Speaker
Yeah, that's true.
00:47:17
Speaker
That's true.
00:47:18
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:47:19
Speaker
This is really hard.
00:47:20
Speaker
This is really hard.
00:47:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:23
Speaker
I don't know, man.
00:47:24
Speaker
I'm split between The Substance and Joe's.
00:47:27
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:47:27
Speaker
I have one more honorable mention in rap world.
00:47:30
Speaker
When the scene is happening where Jason is getting rejected by that girl, that's huge.
00:47:38
Speaker
That I've, I was the most uncomfortable I've ever been.
00:47:41
Speaker
That's a sort of pathetic, like, Oh, yeah.
00:47:44
Speaker
Oh fuck.
00:47:45
Speaker
Oh fuck.
00:47:46
Speaker
Oh no.
00:47:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:49
Speaker
Sorry, I just had to shout that out.
00:47:51
Speaker
Okay, so Zach, Joe's is really good, which I agree with.
00:47:55
Speaker
And then the substance also, you said, like the Monstro Elisa Sue.
00:47:58
Speaker
Yeah, I love the Monstro Elisa Sue so much.
00:48:01
Speaker
I'm good with that.
00:48:02
Speaker
The Blood Cannon.
00:48:03
Speaker
Yeah, I'm good with Blood Cannon too, just because it's, you know, I love that we got to talk about Fiorosa some more, but I do think that that moment is just so cool.
00:48:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:13
Speaker
But Furiosa, a lot of great shouts in there.
00:48:15
Speaker
Two movies for the ladies.
00:48:17
Speaker
Furiosa already won, yeah, for the ladies.
00:48:19
Speaker
So we're rocking.
00:48:19
Speaker
It's true.
00:48:20
Speaker
It's true.
00:48:21
Speaker
So Zach, we, the next category, is going to be Best Actress.
Best Actress and Actor Nominations
00:48:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:48:30
Speaker
This one's going to be contentious, I think.
00:48:32
Speaker
I'm excited.
00:48:32
Speaker
I 100% agree.
00:48:34
Speaker
So my honorable mention just talked about her, Mikey Madison.
00:48:38
Speaker
I'm glad she got a main role and not just supporting B-movie horror role.
00:48:46
Speaker
But I'm not going to beat her on the bush.
00:48:50
Speaker
The person that I feel like just did the most out of any actress this year was Zendaya.
00:48:58
Speaker
But specifically...
00:49:00
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, not even specifically, just between Dune Part 2 and Challengers.
00:49:06
Speaker
There's so much in both of those that are also very different from each other.
00:49:11
Speaker
I have to nominate Zendaya for it, and I can't pick one movie for it.
00:49:16
Speaker
Excellent shout.
00:49:17
Speaker
I agree.
00:49:19
Speaker
Zendaya is my honorable mention, so is Demi Moore.
00:49:22
Speaker
Both of these women are just truly fantastic, but my best actress pick has got to be Juliette Garieppe.
00:49:29
Speaker
I don't know how to pronounce her name from Red Rooms.
00:49:31
Speaker
Kelly Ann's actress.
00:49:34
Speaker
I truly cannot think of a performance that...
00:49:39
Speaker
affected me that much.
00:49:41
Speaker
Like she truly gives such a spine chilling performance in the, she gives the scariest performance in a non horror movie or a horror movie all year.
00:49:52
Speaker
I'm truly terrified of that woman.
00:49:54
Speaker
Totally agree.
00:49:56
Speaker
I don't think I could see her in public and not be scared.
00:49:58
Speaker
Like genuinely, like I know that that was not her and that's her character.
00:50:01
Speaker
It was so scary.
00:50:03
Speaker
good so powerful um and she just like every time the camera was on her she was eating it up like it was like her presence on screen was so huge and commanding uh i mean i i can't i can't praise her performance in that movie enough i agree really excellent really excellent so much so much so i agree that julia garriup is also my winner
00:50:27
Speaker
I the the the thing of in that movie that may be the scariest moment, but definitely one of the scariest moments is from the perspective of her computer screen.
00:50:39
Speaker
And we're seeing her light lit by a computer.
00:50:41
Speaker
Oh, my face lit by a computer.
00:50:43
Speaker
I mean, like it.
00:50:45
Speaker
And what she's able to communicate in those moments, I find absolutely astonishing.
00:50:49
Speaker
It's definitely the performance from this year that I've thought about the most and gone back to thinking about.
00:50:56
Speaker
I think she is, I totally agree with everything Joe said, absolutely phenomenal.
00:50:59
Speaker
It's funny, I'm going to mention one honorable mention because everything else in my five has already been mentioned.
00:51:05
Speaker
So I love that.
00:51:07
Speaker
We're all kind of in unison there.
00:51:08
Speaker
My other honorable mention is Julianne Nicholson in Janet Planet.
00:51:12
Speaker
Oh yeah.
00:51:13
Speaker
I didn't see that, but it seems really, it's a really great movie.
00:51:16
Speaker
I really, I think Andy Baker is so special.
00:51:19
Speaker
I think her directing is really good, but her writing is phenomenal.
00:51:22
Speaker
And she found the perfect person in Julian Nicholson, who's an actor that I love mostly from her TV work.
00:51:27
Speaker
Um,
00:51:28
Speaker
But in this movie, she has to communicate so much through very sparse writing.
00:51:35
Speaker
She has to communicate her relationships with all these people that are kind of... The movie is very sequential.
00:51:40
Speaker
These people come in and out.
00:51:41
Speaker
It's very episodic.
00:51:42
Speaker
And her ease with communicating these relationships through not much speech, I find absolutely phenomenal.
00:51:51
Speaker
So Julia Nicholson is my honorable mention, but my winner is also Julia Gariappe from The Drums.
00:51:57
Speaker
Um, you know, this is, uh, it's funny.
00:52:01
Speaker
Everything is already been shouted out.
00:52:04
Speaker
I had, we've already talked about it.
00:52:08
Speaker
I'm going to give two honorable mentions.
00:52:11
Speaker
One, and this is... It's kind of on the edge for me, but her face is on the goddamn poster, so I think I can say it.
00:52:17
Speaker
Is Adrià Arjona in Hitman?
00:52:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:20
Speaker
No, that's... Yeah.
00:52:21
Speaker
I think she's the lead.
00:52:22
Speaker
100%.
00:52:22
Speaker
She's fantastic.
00:52:24
Speaker
I think she's definitely the actress who has the film.
00:52:27
Speaker
The female lead.
00:52:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:29
Speaker
I thought she was...
00:52:30
Speaker
Excellent.
00:52:31
Speaker
She's phenomenal.
00:52:32
Speaker
Julia Gariepi was also my honorable mention.
00:52:34
Speaker
I want to shout out and this feels complicated and I want to I want to put this forth at the time of at the time the film was made and released.
00:52:44
Speaker
They were still identifying as a woman.
00:52:47
Speaker
And so I want to shout out Jack Haven in I Saw the TV Glow, who plays Maddie.
00:52:52
Speaker
I think that performance is really, really powerful and really, really, really phenomenal.
00:52:58
Speaker
And you could say, I mean, we can change the verbiage here.
00:53:00
Speaker
Best performance of a female character.
00:53:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:04
Speaker
Yes.
00:53:04
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
00:53:05
Speaker
So then I would say.
00:53:08
Speaker
Jack Haven.
00:53:09
Speaker
They're phenomenal.
00:53:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:10
Speaker
That's an incredible performance.
00:53:12
Speaker
Really excellent in TV glow.
00:53:15
Speaker
My winner is... And I know this is going to split the vote, but I'm with Zach on... I picked Zendaya specifically in Challengers.
00:53:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:23
Speaker
She's on my list.
00:53:24
Speaker
But I think...
00:53:28
Speaker
The Zendaya domination in the year that she had, I think Challengers is her movie.
00:53:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:34
Speaker
If you were to do Oscar nominations, it would be her in lead.
00:53:37
Speaker
And then you could put O'Connor and Feist in supporting because she really is the heart and soul of that movie.
00:53:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:48
Speaker
I was so taken by it.
00:53:50
Speaker
I was just bowled over by it.
00:53:53
Speaker
And I really specifically want to celebrate that one because, like, my favorite movie of the year is The Substance, but I...
00:54:01
Speaker
Demi Moore's going to win the Oscar, so I don't really feel the need to talk about that.
00:54:04
Speaker
I don't think Challenger sells the changing of the season, so to speak, without her performance specifically.
00:54:11
Speaker
That's true.
00:54:12
Speaker
She's a unifying force.
00:54:13
Speaker
I'm good with that mostly because Zach hasn't seen Red Rooms and can't speak to her.
00:54:17
Speaker
I'm also good with it.
00:54:18
Speaker
I just want to... I mean, I might watch that movie and then come back here and be like, we fucked up Red.
00:54:26
Speaker
But she was mentioned by all three of us who have seen it.
00:54:28
Speaker
I don't think you can fuck up with...
00:54:30
Speaker
with her versus zendaya i just i just again i just wanted to make sure that she got her flowers because totally yeah exactly when you watch it you're gonna be blown away oh my god i know i will yeah zendaya rock and roll the way the way dune 2 closes on her stare like yeah she's central to both of those movies uh yeah i and she's she's got the most commanding face and that eyebrow raise
00:54:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:55
Speaker
She's next goddamn level.
00:54:57
Speaker
And she makes the boys kissy kiss.
00:54:59
Speaker
She makes the boys kissy kiss.
00:55:00
Speaker
She made the boys kiss.
00:55:02
Speaker
And she breaks her knee.
00:55:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:05
Speaker
And she should have been nominated twice this year, honestly.
00:55:10
Speaker
It's just truly such a huge snub that she wasn't.
00:55:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:15
Speaker
On to best actor.
00:55:16
Speaker
Let's go.
00:55:18
Speaker
man, this is really hard.
00:55:20
Speaker
This is really hard.
00:55:22
Speaker
I have some wild cards here.
00:55:24
Speaker
I've got some wild cards too, and honestly... I also have wild cards, but we'll see.
00:55:28
Speaker
I could shout out a million things.
00:55:33
Speaker
I very intentionally with this category went for people who were not celebrated at all by the Academy.
00:55:38
Speaker
I think Timmy and A Complete Unknown is excellent.
00:55:42
Speaker
But in my honorable mentions, I put Timmy and Dune Part 2.
00:55:48
Speaker
I'm just going to do it because we haven't really talked about it at all in terms of my honorable mention is Josh Hartnett in Trap.
00:55:56
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:55:57
Speaker
Great.
00:55:57
Speaker
Yeah, great.
00:55:58
Speaker
I love that.
00:55:59
Speaker
Unassailable.
00:56:00
Speaker
I think it's an excellent performance.
00:56:02
Speaker
He's, I mean, like, he's really the only person in that movie who is doing some, like, capital A acting.
00:56:09
Speaker
The mom does, too.
00:56:10
Speaker
I can't remember her name.
00:56:11
Speaker
Yeah, Alison Pill.
00:56:12
Speaker
Alice in Pill, yes, thank you.
00:56:13
Speaker
There's this crazy guy, the Butcher, running around chopping people up.
00:56:17
Speaker
That's what I think.
00:56:20
Speaker
He's fucking awesome.
00:56:21
Speaker
He's so good.
00:56:22
Speaker
And carries it and fully understands.
00:56:24
Speaker
So physical, too.
00:56:25
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:26
Speaker
Such a physical performance, him taking his shirt off in the house.
00:56:31
Speaker
Everything he does in that movie, I think, is excellent.
00:56:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:56:36
Speaker
But my nominee is Justice Smith and I Saw the TV Glow, which I think is one of the more difficult performances I've ever seen.
00:56:48
Speaker
In the same way we talk about Juliet Gariepi and the difficulty and the amount of work and the amount that this person is putting on screen –
00:56:59
Speaker
and how upsetting and how visceral it is, is I think Justice Smith's performance is upsetting and visceral for a very different reason.
00:57:07
Speaker
Because you were watching this young person have so much done to them, and so much happened in their life.
00:57:15
Speaker
But I think about a moment that really made me break into tears and almost weep in the theater, and
00:57:22
Speaker
is the moment, and this is a spoiler for I Saw the TV Globe, but the moment his head is in the television, and his dad has to come pull him out.
00:57:30
Speaker
It's not a spoiler, it's in the trailer.
00:57:32
Speaker
Oh, true.
00:57:35
Speaker
Also, that movie's been out all year.
00:57:37
Speaker
Yeah, it's been out since the spring.
00:57:39
Speaker
It's on Max.
00:57:40
Speaker
Just go watch it.
00:57:42
Speaker
It's really, really, really affecting and excellent, and I just couldn't.
00:57:49
Speaker
Yeah, like when I thought about my favorite performances of the year, that was like up there.
00:57:56
Speaker
Yeah, I love that.
00:57:58
Speaker
Yeah, I found this category endlessly difficult.
00:58:01
Speaker
Red, I kind of like your mandate to steer clear of the Oscars pick.
00:58:04
Speaker
So I'm going to go with that.
00:58:06
Speaker
I only had one Oscar pick on my five, and it was Chalamet, who I think is terrific.
00:58:14
Speaker
Agreed.
00:58:15
Speaker
That movie works for a lot of reasons, but it mostly works because he nails it.
00:58:21
Speaker
And it's an incredibly difficult thing to pull off.
00:58:24
Speaker
I'm going to give two honorable mentions.
00:58:28
Speaker
One is a movie, Justice Smith, also on my list.
00:58:31
Speaker
One is a movie that will not come up anywhere else on my list, but I think this performance is staggeringly good.
00:58:37
Speaker
It's Alex Hurt in Blackout, which is the Wolfman movie that wasn't Wolfman.
00:58:43
Speaker
It's a Larry Fessenden movie.
00:58:45
Speaker
It's on 2B.
00:58:46
Speaker
It's on maybe one other thing.
00:58:49
Speaker
Very small budget Wolfman movie.
00:58:52
Speaker
It's very good.
00:58:53
Speaker
It's called Blackout because his...
00:59:00
Speaker
the guy who becomes a werewolf is an alcoholic and so his his moments where he's it's a metaphor for his alcoholism yeah the moments where he's a wolf he blacks out um and so it's it's all kind of coalescing come together and alex hurt who is william hurt's son um and also a friend a friend of my brother which is kind of fun um but he
00:59:23
Speaker
he holds this movie together with his bare hands it the effects are not very good it's like the movie probably cost a million and a half dollars if that it's very low budget um and it's his performance is just very very affecting to me um and the way he kind of portrays somebody fighting against himself and his his worst demons
00:59:46
Speaker
So just wanted to shout that out.
00:59:48
Speaker
My other quick mention is Adam driver and Megalopolis.
00:59:51
Speaker
That's kind of a joke, but not really.
00:59:53
Speaker
He's great in the movie.
00:59:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:55
Speaker
It, it, it, again, that movie already does not work on so many levels and I love it so much for the, for all of its iniquities.
01:00:04
Speaker
I love it.
01:00:05
Speaker
But nothing of the stuff that does work would work without him.
01:00:09
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:10
Speaker
He is, he is, he is the heart and soul of that movie.
01:00:12
Speaker
Go back to the club.
01:00:14
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
01:00:15
Speaker
My winner, as you can probably guess, is Glenn Powell in Hitman.
01:00:19
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:20
Speaker
That's my nominee.
01:00:21
Speaker
I just, you know, there's just, there's something to the perfect part for the perfect movie star.
01:00:28
Speaker
Yes.
01:00:29
Speaker
Like, and that was the best example I saw this year of just like some, like a director who is close to his actor,
01:00:38
Speaker
understands him at a visceral level, understands that he holds within him this goofiness and also this incredible charm.
01:00:47
Speaker
And putting those two things together, he's a little bit of a dork.
01:00:51
Speaker
He's hot as fuck.
01:00:53
Speaker
Like, all of those things coalescing at once, I just found.
01:00:56
Speaker
And his chemistry with Adjira Hona also.
01:00:58
Speaker
All his little characters.
01:01:01
Speaker
It's so fun.
01:01:02
Speaker
And I love watching an actor like Glenn Powell.
01:01:05
Speaker
Like,
01:01:06
Speaker
have so much fun while also being so good.
01:01:09
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:10
Speaker
Like, cause that's hard to do.
01:01:12
Speaker
Big agree.
01:01:13
Speaker
My winner is Glenn Powell.
01:01:15
Speaker
Great.
01:01:15
Speaker
Joe.
01:01:17
Speaker
Uh, like we've all done some shout outs.
01:01:20
Speaker
Please.
01:01:21
Speaker
Uh, got to shout out Richard gear.
01:01:22
Speaker
No Canada.
01:01:23
Speaker
Yeah, it was really good.
01:01:24
Speaker
I did love the movie, but he's amazing.
01:01:26
Speaker
I did love the movie, but Schrader just kind of hits me on a weirdly personal Protestant level where I'm like, I get it.
01:01:34
Speaker
I get what you're going through.
01:01:36
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:38
Speaker
And Richard Gere's performance as a dying man is like...
01:01:43
Speaker
He's amazing.
01:01:43
Speaker
He's so insanely next level.
01:01:45
Speaker
I honestly can't believe that that's a performance that was given this year.
01:01:49
Speaker
So congratulations.
01:01:51
Speaker
I got to say fucking, God, I'm blanking on his name, Gabriel LeBelle on Saturday Night.
01:01:59
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:59
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:00
Speaker
As Lorne.
01:02:01
Speaker
I thought he was fantastic.
01:02:02
Speaker
He's the best thing in that movie for sure.
01:02:04
Speaker
I got to say this one's a little bit of a weird one.
01:02:08
Speaker
A movie I think only I saw this year.
01:02:11
Speaker
It's a Quentin DePue movie called.
01:02:15
Speaker
fuck uh yannick it's on movie it's a movie release yeah i've heard of that one the central performance that movie is by rafael canard i don't know i'd never heard of him before but uh he plays this the title character and the movie is basically just him acting the shit out of a movie so i recommend it's on movie uh and then last shout out before i get to my real one is jim cummings in the last stop at yuma county which is like a little indie i'm a big jim
01:02:42
Speaker
cummings fan yeah you are boy he's awesome i would i would kiss him right on the lips if he was here uh but he's great in this movie i've only seen him direct himself and this is the first time i've seen him directed by someone else and he's still great uh my number one performance of the year uh is conor o'malley and rap world i knew it i knew we were going there there was no way it was not it was a toss-up
01:03:08
Speaker
And the only reason I went Conor O'Malley is because Eric Rahill, I would say, is technically a supporting actor.
01:03:14
Speaker
He's supporting.
01:03:14
Speaker
Jason's supporting.
01:03:16
Speaker
His performance, I think, is the best in the movie.
01:03:18
Speaker
But Conor O'Malley in Rap World is just, I don't know.
01:03:23
Speaker
It's so perfect.
01:03:24
Speaker
It's so funny.
01:03:26
Speaker
It's the funniest performance of the year.
01:03:28
Speaker
Yeah, and he does do such a convincing trying to get your dick hard when you have erectile dysfunction.
01:03:36
Speaker
Yeah.
01:03:38
Speaker
I have to shout that out.
01:03:40
Speaker
You're going to hurt yourself.
01:03:42
Speaker
People were talking, and I don't want this to sound diminutive because it isn't.
01:03:45
Speaker
People were talking about how brave Demi Moore's performance is in The Substance.
01:03:49
Speaker
Yes, it's incredibly... It's a good comp.
01:03:52
Speaker
I'm with you, Joe.
01:03:53
Speaker
It's a good comp.
01:03:54
Speaker
Conor O'Malley fully just subjecting himself to humiliation by being this character in Rap World is... It's special.
01:04:02
Speaker
So great.
01:04:03
Speaker
And I can't wait to see him in Friendship with Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd.
01:04:07
Speaker
Yeah.
01:04:08
Speaker
Yeah.
01:04:09
Speaker
And he's also great in I Saw the TV Glow.
01:04:11
Speaker
He really is.
01:04:12
Speaker
Yeah.
01:04:12
Speaker
He's very good.
01:04:14
Speaker
Zach?
01:04:14
Speaker
Very different character.
01:04:16
Speaker
I'm just going to buzz through some honorable mentions.
01:04:18
Speaker
Please.
01:04:19
Speaker
We all have to.
01:04:20
Speaker
Hugh Grant and Heretic.
01:04:22
Speaker
Um...
01:04:26
Speaker
Kieran Culkin in A Real Pain.
01:04:28
Speaker
I would say that's a lead.
01:04:30
Speaker
I like that.
01:04:31
Speaker
They're co-leads for sure.
01:04:33
Speaker
I think he leads it more than Eisenberg.
01:04:35
Speaker
He does.
01:04:35
Speaker
I would agree.
01:04:38
Speaker
I have a few that are also kind of supporting but they're the main dude in the movie.
01:04:45
Speaker
I think Kyle Garner in Strange Darling was awesome.
01:04:48
Speaker
Very good.
01:04:50
Speaker
That movie just barely missed on a bunch of categories for me.
01:04:53
Speaker
I've been seeing his name pop around in a lot of stuff.
01:04:55
Speaker
Apparently people love his performance in the Smile movies too.
01:04:58
Speaker
Yeah, he's in the newer Scream movies as well.
01:05:01
Speaker
He's out there.
01:05:02
Speaker
He's made an awesome career out of horror movies with actual good performances.
01:05:08
Speaker
The co-leads in Nickel Boys, Ethan Harise and Brandon Wilson.
01:05:12
Speaker
I'm excited to watch that movie.
01:05:13
Speaker
Yeah, I need to watch it.
01:05:14
Speaker
They're incredible.
01:05:16
Speaker
Another pseudo support.
01:05:17
Speaker
Well, no, this is straight up supporting, but we can't not say his name is Yuri Borisov.
01:05:23
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
01:05:23
Speaker
We're talking about actors this year.
01:05:25
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:26
Speaker
But I kind of caveat of this.
01:05:30
Speaker
Some people, I think most people even categorize him as a supporting performance, but he is the lead actor in this movie as far as a male performance.
01:05:40
Speaker
But I I'm going with Chris Hemsworth.
01:05:43
Speaker
In Furiosa.
01:05:44
Speaker
I mean, come on, man.
01:05:46
Speaker
He's really good.
01:05:48
Speaker
I mean, I didn't know he had that in him, and it was a joy to watch.
01:05:52
Speaker
He had it in him to make it epic.
01:05:54
Speaker
Yep.
01:05:55
Speaker
Same wavelength.
01:05:57
Speaker
We were all good.
01:05:58
Speaker
I appreciate that a lot.
01:05:59
Speaker
He's really good, man.
01:06:00
Speaker
That's, yeah, that's a great shout.
01:06:03
Speaker
The only name that we haven't mentioned that I do want to mention is Aaron Pierre in Rebel Ridge.
01:06:08
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
01:06:08
Speaker
Aaron Pierre, and we also haven't mentioned Ray Fiennes.
01:06:11
Speaker
Yeah.
01:06:13
Speaker
I do want to shout out Daniel Craig in Queer, too, because he is fucking awesome in that movie.
01:06:18
Speaker
I can't wait to see it, man.
01:06:19
Speaker
I'm so excited to see it.
01:06:20
Speaker
Yeah.
01:06:22
Speaker
I have to be honest.
01:06:24
Speaker
I very intentionally laid out my nominations because I knew that Austin was going to bring Powell for Hitman.
01:06:33
Speaker
But Powell for Hitman is my pick.
01:06:35
Speaker
I wouldn't mind going Justice Smith.
01:06:38
Speaker
Interesting.
01:06:39
Speaker
I would lean more towards Powell and Hitman just for the variety.
01:06:43
Speaker
And I don't know, there's something fun.
01:06:45
Speaker
And this is what movies is about, about it.
01:06:50
Speaker
I'll say for myself, too, like for me, this is like represents Hitman in my picks.
01:06:56
Speaker
And Hitman, I have as my number two movie of the year.
01:06:59
Speaker
Like, I love it so much.
01:07:02
Speaker
So I would be delighted if that is the consensus we come to, because I do think it's fantastic.
01:07:08
Speaker
But yeah, oh, cat.
01:07:10
Speaker
Joe just got a cat, jump on his lap.
01:07:11
Speaker
This is the one that's a bitch.
01:07:14
Speaker
She's about to start biting me, I guarantee it.
01:07:17
Speaker
She's going to claw me and I'm going to scream.
01:07:19
Speaker
Let's just say it's Glenn Powell and move on to Best Director.
01:07:22
Speaker
Love it.
01:07:23
Speaker
Shout out to Glenn Powell.
01:07:25
Speaker
We love you, Texas
Celebrating Bold Directors
01:07:26
Speaker
boy.
01:07:26
Speaker
Excellent.
01:07:27
Speaker
I'm so excited for Running Man I love you I'm so excited for Running Man because I also want Edgar Wright to redeem himself so bad because Last Night Soho was such a dud and Baby Driver is still so good but he has it in him to make it epic but he chose to make Last Night Soho he's only made one bad movie in my opinion yeah and it was that one Last Night Soho yeah yeah yeah Zach will you kick us off for Best Director
01:07:50
Speaker
I sure can.
01:07:52
Speaker
I'm not going to list off a whole bunch of Best Director honorable mentions, but I will mention, as an honorable mention, Ramel Ross, the director of Nickel Boys.
01:08:02
Speaker
Totally agree.
01:08:04
Speaker
I mean, I know half of us have seen it at this point, but both of us, it shot into our first place immediately after watching it.
01:08:11
Speaker
Correct.
01:08:12
Speaker
And part of it is because...
01:08:15
Speaker
The most skeptical thing about this movie is the way it was shot and he pulled it off.
01:08:21
Speaker
To shoot a movie from literally point of view, which is a term people don't know how to use anymore.
01:08:28
Speaker
From first person perspective.
01:08:31
Speaker
It's unreal.
01:08:32
Speaker
But genuinely from a first person perspective was like staggeringly well done.
01:08:39
Speaker
And the moments, I'll say too, the moments he chooses to shift that perspective, both within one character and between characters, is incredible.
01:08:49
Speaker
And between characters, he goes Terry Malick mode.
01:08:52
Speaker
He does.
01:08:52
Speaker
Wow.
01:08:54
Speaker
There's a lot of Malick.
01:08:55
Speaker
I mean, he talks about Tree of Life a lot.
01:08:57
Speaker
I need to see this flick.
01:08:59
Speaker
I'm excited to watch a movie that's like a student of Malick that isn't just like a clone of him.
01:09:04
Speaker
Yeah, no.
01:09:04
Speaker
That's a good way to describe this.
01:09:08
Speaker
But unsurprisingly, my nominee is Luca G. I mean, I haven't seen Queer yet, but I've seen clips and it looks cool and I love the idea of using like miniatures and
01:09:21
Speaker
shot on location combined and all that good stuff.
01:09:26
Speaker
But, I mean, Challengers got snubbed on so many levels, but one of those would definitely be... I mean, yeah, Luka G's my nom.
01:09:36
Speaker
I love it.
01:09:37
Speaker
He's feeling it this year.
01:09:38
Speaker
My brain is so dead this week.
01:09:40
Speaker
You're great.
01:09:40
Speaker
You're doing great, man.
01:09:41
Speaker
Yeah, you're doing great, man.
01:09:44
Speaker
Joseph.
01:09:45
Speaker
Honorable mentions, Jane Schoenbrunn.
01:09:51
Speaker
Pascal Blante for Red Rooms.
01:09:54
Speaker
I don't know how you pronounce his last name.
01:09:56
Speaker
I think, yeah, close enough.
01:09:58
Speaker
I'm going to say it.
01:10:01
Speaker
Francis Ford Coppola for Megalopolis.
01:10:03
Speaker
Yeah, baby.
01:10:03
Speaker
I agree.
01:10:05
Speaker
But, I mean, my nomination is Luke G. Yeah, I love it.
01:10:10
Speaker
For both Challengers and Queer, they're both exceptionally directed.
01:10:14
Speaker
I mean, I truly can't think of a director who's making choices right now that constantly surprise me, but also, like, he makes the choices that I'm, like...
01:10:25
Speaker
oh, I hope he does this.
01:10:26
Speaker
And then he does it, but then he also makes a choice that's where you're like, whoa, how did you fucking think of that, dude?
01:10:30
Speaker
Yeah.
01:10:31
Speaker
Yeah.
01:10:32
Speaker
And yeah, he's probably my favorite director working right now.
01:10:39
Speaker
Yeah.
01:10:39
Speaker
I love that.
01:10:41
Speaker
My pick is a movie that none of you have seen, so I'm going to hold off on that for a second.
01:10:46
Speaker
And I'm going to concede to whatever y'all pick because my pick is something I haven't seen.
01:10:52
Speaker
But I agree fully with Zach Rommel Ross on my list.
01:10:56
Speaker
Unbelievable.
01:10:57
Speaker
Jane Joan Brun also on my list.
01:11:01
Speaker
I told you.
01:11:02
Speaker
I would like to shout out Clint Eastwood for juror number two.
01:11:05
Speaker
Yeah.
01:11:06
Speaker
Good shot.
01:11:07
Speaker
Is my guy still just putting in the goddamn work?
01:11:10
Speaker
Also, shout out Nicholas Holtz on that one.
01:11:12
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
01:11:13
Speaker
That's a performance we didn't mention.
01:11:14
Speaker
He's great in that.
01:11:14
Speaker
Incredible.
01:11:15
Speaker
J.K.
01:11:15
Speaker
Simmons is also great.
01:11:17
Speaker
Yeah, I think that movie is...
01:11:19
Speaker
kind of a miracle in its direction and to see clint is truly awe-inspiring um my winner is risky hamaguchi for uh evil does not exist i respect it which i have not i saw it three days ago i have not stopped thinking about it um it's my number three movie of the year um i
01:11:43
Speaker
It's so different from Drive My Car, his prior movie.
01:11:47
Speaker
God, you son of a bitch.
01:11:49
Speaker
Sorry, my cat again.
01:11:50
Speaker
Joe's dealing with cat.
01:11:53
Speaker
It's so different, yet there's such a hand there.
01:11:57
Speaker
It's an incredibly quiet movie and knows exactly when to live in its quietness and be okay with it.
01:12:04
Speaker
He gets incredible performances and constructs my favorite ending of the year of any movie.
01:12:11
Speaker
Whoa, exciting.
01:12:12
Speaker
So...
01:12:14
Speaker
It's on criterion.
01:12:16
Speaker
It's on criterion.
01:12:17
Speaker
It's on criterion channel.
01:12:19
Speaker
It's it's incredibly special.
01:12:22
Speaker
And I think it will only continue to grow for me over time.
01:12:24
Speaker
So that's my.
01:12:25
Speaker
Wow.
01:12:25
Speaker
I'm risky.
01:12:26
Speaker
Hamaguchi for evil.
01:12:27
Speaker
Does not exist.
01:12:28
Speaker
Excellent.
01:12:33
Speaker
I think this is a really good chance to celebrate.
01:12:37
Speaker
And we've talked about this movie a little bit.
01:12:38
Speaker
I'm going to honorable mention George Miller for Furiosa, the Mad Max saga.
01:12:45
Speaker
Yeah.
01:12:46
Speaker
This is a guy who is now in his 70s.
01:12:48
Speaker
I don't quite believe he's an octogenarian yet.
01:12:51
Speaker
Yeah, I think he's late 70s, yeah.
01:12:52
Speaker
He...
01:12:54
Speaker
is still going out into the fucking desert and making movies and has been doing it for a long fucking time and is one of the most compelling things about Miller is also compelling about the guy I'm actually going to nominate.
01:13:11
Speaker
But the way that Miller can do so much and has made a million kinds of movies, like this is the guy behind
01:13:19
Speaker
And Happy Feet.
01:13:21
Speaker
And Happy Feet 2.
01:13:23
Speaker
And has made so much.
01:13:26
Speaker
And like the Witches of Eastwick.
01:13:28
Speaker
He's done so much.
01:13:32
Speaker
And so I really want to celebrate George Miller.
01:13:35
Speaker
But...
01:13:37
Speaker
my nominee and who will be the winner because this will be three against one is Luca Guadagnino.
01:13:43
Speaker
That's great.
01:13:44
Speaker
I thought that that was what was going to happen.
01:13:47
Speaker
I thought there was a chance here going Villeneuve, but I, yeah, he was, he was on my list.
01:13:53
Speaker
He's probably, he was on my list.
01:13:55
Speaker
I would hope that he wins the Oscar.
01:13:57
Speaker
Wait, he didn't get nominated.
01:13:58
Speaker
No, he didn't get nominated.
01:13:59
Speaker
Fuck.
01:14:01
Speaker
I kind of forgot that he didn't get nominated.
01:14:02
Speaker
It made me angry again.
01:14:05
Speaker
Yeah.
01:14:06
Speaker
Shout out Coralie Farge.
01:14:07
Speaker
Is that how you pronounce it?
01:14:08
Speaker
Yeah.
01:14:09
Speaker
Farge.
01:14:09
Speaker
Farge.
01:14:10
Speaker
Farge.
01:14:11
Speaker
Shout out Coralie Farge, too.
01:14:13
Speaker
I mean, the substance was impeccably well-directed.
01:14:15
Speaker
Yes.
01:14:16
Speaker
It's incredible.
01:14:17
Speaker
I mean, like...
01:14:19
Speaker
I didn't really like Revenge that much.
01:14:23
Speaker
There's some cool shit in Revenge, though.
01:14:25
Speaker
Yeah, I just like... I want to say that she's fantastic.
01:14:28
Speaker
It's just like Luka G, unassailable.
01:14:32
Speaker
The scene in Revenge where she's in the cave and she's high as shit,
01:14:36
Speaker
And she uses the can to solderize her wound.
01:14:40
Speaker
Incredible.
01:14:41
Speaker
I mean, she's a freak.
01:14:42
Speaker
And that's, I do.
01:14:44
Speaker
I so appreciate a freak, especially when my main complaint with like, let's say something like cocaine bear was that that movie should have been made by a freak.
01:14:52
Speaker
And it was made by Elizabeth banks instead.
01:14:53
Speaker
Like, thank, thank God that we have Corley Farge making free shit.
01:15:00
Speaker
The internet's only anti-Elizabeth Banks podcast.
01:15:04
Speaker
I love Elizabeth Banks.
01:15:05
Speaker
She's not a freak.
01:15:07
Speaker
She made Pitch Perfect and Cocaine Bear.
01:15:09
Speaker
It's like, okay.
01:15:10
Speaker
Pitch Perfect is her speed.
01:15:12
Speaker
Pitch Perfect is good.
01:15:13
Speaker
And I do love that movie, but Cocaine Bear should have never been directed by Elizabeth Banks.
01:15:18
Speaker
I agree.
01:15:19
Speaker
I agree.
01:15:20
Speaker
So, yeah, I love that.
01:15:21
Speaker
Luca G for Challengers.
01:15:23
Speaker
Luca G is our winner.
01:15:25
Speaker
Very well-deserved.
01:15:25
Speaker
Very well-deserved.
01:15:26
Speaker
Austin, I also do think that when you watch Queer, you're going to be like...
01:15:30
Speaker
Oh, I fully think I'm going to... I actually think Queer is a little bit better directed than Challengers, but also just because Challengers is so flashy and fun.
01:15:41
Speaker
It's like, I don't know, it's hard to pick between...
01:15:47
Speaker
fucking Revolver or the White Album.
01:15:50
Speaker
They're both insanely good, but they're good for different reasons.
01:15:53
Speaker
To give an example of
Film Nominee Discussions and Critiques
01:15:55
Speaker
another director who made two movies the same year, if you compare Schindler's List and Jurassic Park.
01:15:59
Speaker
Yeah, both incredibly well-directed.
01:16:00
Speaker
It's both impeccably directed in entirely different styles.
01:16:03
Speaker
One's not quite as fun as the other one.
01:16:05
Speaker
Yeah, one's not a joyride.
01:16:07
Speaker
Yeah.
01:16:08
Speaker
Another one is.
01:16:09
Speaker
So, yeah, I feel that.
01:16:11
Speaker
But Queer does have two of the best needle drops of the year.
01:16:15
Speaker
Hell yeah.
01:16:16
Speaker
I'm really looking forward to watching it.
01:16:18
Speaker
Me too.
01:16:18
Speaker
We are on to Best Picture.
01:16:20
Speaker
Let's go.
01:16:21
Speaker
And this is an interesting one because I think a lot of our nominees are just going to be movies we kept talking about.
01:16:28
Speaker
And so it's really going to come down to what we pick as a unit.
01:16:34
Speaker
So I'm just going to say my honorable mention is Challengers.
01:16:40
Speaker
And my pick and my nominee is my favorite movie of the year.
01:16:43
Speaker
It's The Substance.
01:16:44
Speaker
I...
01:16:46
Speaker
Which feels like a no-brainer.
01:16:47
Speaker
It's already nominated for Best Picture, and I felt a little cautious of putting it up, but I just had to celebrate what I loved, and I had to celebrate the closest thing I thought we had to a five-star masterpiece this year.
01:17:06
Speaker
But there's still shit I haven't seen.
01:17:07
Speaker
I still haven't seen Enora.
01:17:08
Speaker
I still haven't seen Nickel Boys.
01:17:11
Speaker
So there's stuff I'm still missing out on.
01:17:12
Speaker
So it's entirely possible that in three weeks, I'll be like, what the fuck, dude?
01:17:15
Speaker
I'm so stupid.
01:17:16
Speaker
You can always circle back.
01:17:20
Speaker
These are growing, changing documents.
01:17:23
Speaker
We can always change our minds.
01:17:24
Speaker
So I am going to nominate the substance.
01:17:28
Speaker
I love it.
01:17:29
Speaker
I love it.
01:17:29
Speaker
Great movie.
01:17:31
Speaker
Honorable mention to both Evil Does Not Exist and Hitman.
01:17:34
Speaker
Those are my three and two respectively.
01:17:38
Speaker
Another honorable mention to I Saw the TV Glow, which I just think is masterful.
01:17:44
Speaker
My winner is, again, another thing that only Zach and I have seen, which is Nickel Boys.
01:17:48
Speaker
I think in terms of ambition and achievement of said ambition, there I have not seen anything that approaches it.
01:18:02
Speaker
I think it's...
01:18:04
Speaker
I think it's really a profound statement and a profound use of the medium.
01:18:11
Speaker
Not to get too hoity-toity.
01:18:13
Speaker
But I just thought it was mind-bogglingly good.
01:18:19
Speaker
And there are moments in it that I don't think are appropriate for a category.
01:18:23
Speaker
Like, oh, fuck.
01:18:24
Speaker
But there are some real, oh, fuck moments.
01:18:26
Speaker
I wouldn't call them twists.
01:18:28
Speaker
I'd call them more like realizations.
01:18:30
Speaker
Yeah, and like confluences.
01:18:33
Speaker
Like there are moments where things come together that have been coming together without you realizing it for hours.
01:18:39
Speaker
And you're like, oh, my fuck.
01:18:41
Speaker
Like, holy fucking shit.
01:18:42
Speaker
It feels more like a fucking gut punch than an oh, fuck moment.
01:18:46
Speaker
Wow.
01:18:46
Speaker
Well, it's
Top Film Picks of the Year
01:18:47
Speaker
like it's that old saying of like the best endings are both surprising and inevitable.
01:18:51
Speaker
It's like that's it is so beautifully achieved in Nickel Boys.
01:18:57
Speaker
I think it's really, really great.
01:19:01
Speaker
So Nickel Boys is my pick.
01:19:03
Speaker
Joe.
01:19:04
Speaker
I want to shout out.
01:19:06
Speaker
I'm just going to quickly shout out my whole top five and that'll lead us into my pick.
01:19:09
Speaker
That's great.
01:19:12
Speaker
It's my top five is Red Rooms.
01:19:15
Speaker
Could have been best picture.
01:19:16
Speaker
You know, I think it's truly like one of the most upsetting movies I've seen in a long ass time.
01:19:23
Speaker
Great movie.
01:19:25
Speaker
Queer.
01:19:26
Speaker
Love it.
01:19:27
Speaker
Insanely good.
01:19:28
Speaker
So surprising.
01:19:30
Speaker
Not what I thought it was going to be at all.
01:19:31
Speaker
And then it just ended up like taking me to a place that I didn't know it was going to go.
01:19:37
Speaker
And it really affected me.
01:19:38
Speaker
Great movie, great performances.
01:19:41
Speaker
I saw the TV glow.
01:19:44
Speaker
Cried in the theater.
01:19:46
Speaker
I didn't do that a lot this year, but TV glow did it to me.
01:19:50
Speaker
And this is where it's going to start to get funky.
01:19:54
Speaker
Challengers.
01:19:55
Speaker
Yep.
01:19:56
Speaker
And my best pick nom is Rap World.
01:19:59
Speaker
I knew it.
01:20:00
Speaker
I fucking knew you were going to do it.
01:20:02
Speaker
Challengers was my number one for so long.
01:20:04
Speaker
And then I was thinking about it when I was picking my nominations.
01:20:08
Speaker
And I was like, I love Challengers.
01:20:10
Speaker
I've seen it twice this year.
01:20:12
Speaker
I've seen Rap World six times this year.
01:20:16
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
01:20:17
Speaker
And it doesn't stop getting better.
01:20:20
Speaker
I could probably watch it five times in a row and still laugh.
01:20:25
Speaker
I think I also just think it's great.
01:20:27
Speaker
It's a it's it's funny in a way that's not just like, obviously, one of my favorite comedies of all time is Dumb and Dumber.
01:20:36
Speaker
I love that movie.
01:20:37
Speaker
That's that's a movie that's funny.
01:20:38
Speaker
And it's just funny.
01:20:39
Speaker
You just watch it and you laugh.
01:20:41
Speaker
The emotions are so minimal compared to lines like, hey, John Denver's full of shit.
01:20:53
Speaker
or nice hooters and he's talking about an owl um but rap world is so funny but also creates this it creates a vibe i there's a letterboxd review that kind of encapsulates or encapsulates what i'm saying that it is a comedy movie that is willing to sacrifice the funniest joke
01:21:13
Speaker
for the joke that makes... For, like, the line that makes sense for the character.
01:21:18
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair.
01:21:21
Speaker
And it's not necessarily, like, the jokes aren't, like, you know, snappy 30-rock level constructed, but every character is so lived in and thought through and, like...
01:21:33
Speaker
embodied by the people that are playing them and i i i was genuinely moved by this movie because it's a movie about getting together with your friends and creating something and it's also about like the collapse of the american empire uh in a way uh i could wax this is what i love it joe they fucked up when they let me go to grad school and get a master's degree in film because i can i can talk about uh rap world for i could write a essay about rap world
01:21:58
Speaker
I mean, talk about endings that are surprising but inevitable.
01:22:01
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
01:22:02
Speaker
You get up there like you're some great orator.
01:22:05
Speaker
No, I don't even do that.
01:22:06
Speaker
I don't even do that.
01:22:07
Speaker
I don't even do that.
01:22:09
Speaker
That's maybe my favorite joke.
01:22:11
Speaker
That and the applesauce.
01:22:14
Speaker
They make me laugh so goddamn hard.
01:22:16
Speaker
Holy shit.
01:22:18
Speaker
Can I get a McFish?
01:22:19
Speaker
I want to remember this as a night I had a conversation.
01:22:22
Speaker
What's the name of the sauce that he tells him to order?
01:22:29
Speaker
Mystic sauce?
01:22:30
Speaker
Yeah, mystic sauce.
01:22:30
Speaker
Mystic sauce?
01:22:32
Speaker
Do you have mystic sauce?
01:22:33
Speaker
We see him behind the tree.
01:22:37
Speaker
Okay.
01:22:38
Speaker
Zach, take us home.
01:22:40
Speaker
I'll go backwards from my fifth to my first.
01:22:44
Speaker
Five have got Conclave.
01:22:46
Speaker
It's a great drama all around.
01:22:49
Speaker
It's hard to write a tighter, more compelling drama.
01:22:52
Speaker
I'm sorry for calling him Cardinal Spaghetti earlier.
01:22:55
Speaker
No, you can make fun of Italians.
01:22:59
Speaker
He's also a bitch.
01:23:00
Speaker
Yeah, he sucks.
01:23:01
Speaker
He sucks dick.
01:23:03
Speaker
Four, I have Dune 2.
01:23:06
Speaker
Love it.
01:23:06
Speaker
Three, Enora.
01:23:08
Speaker
Two, Challengers.
01:23:09
Speaker
And then one, we've been over it, Nickel Boys.
01:23:12
Speaker
Yeah.
01:23:13
Speaker
See, it's so hard for me because I feel like I would agree with you if I'd seen it.
01:23:18
Speaker
And it's like, it's totally on me for not having not seen it.
01:23:23
Speaker
I got lucky I caught it.
01:23:25
Speaker
The filming technique.
01:23:27
Speaker
Yeah, it does take a little bit to get used to.
01:23:31
Speaker
Yeah, I do think it has potential to be divisive.
01:23:33
Speaker
If there's anyone on the pod who like will appreciates a swing more than a follow through like I you know me I have said that I liked movies that I like just because they did something weird with the camera that and I'm like, listen, it's a bad movie.
01:23:47
Speaker
But if you watch it like for the camera, yeah, the
01:23:50
Speaker
Soderbergh's new movie presence.
01:23:52
Speaker
It was kind of hard to get used to, but he lands the plane.
01:23:56
Speaker
Fantastic.
01:23:57
Speaker
He does.
01:23:58
Speaker
Can I, I would like to present two options here, because I think we have to come to an agreement.
01:24:07
Speaker
I think I know what one of them is.
01:24:09
Speaker
Yeah, I think, and this is, this is more on brand for PGW.
01:24:16
Speaker
I think we either pick Rap World or Challengers.
01:24:18
Speaker
I'm kind of with you.
01:24:20
Speaker
I'm down for Challengers.
01:24:21
Speaker
I think Challengers.
01:24:22
Speaker
And I say Challengers because Austin is not like, Austin liked Rap World, but it's not as high as Liz said.
01:24:30
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not in the church of Rap World to the level that you guys are.
01:24:34
Speaker
Yeah, and I would say that I don't want to like – like Rap World is fantastic.
01:24:37
Speaker
Please go watch it.
01:24:38
Speaker
I've seen Rap World more times than Challengers, and I've seen Challengers three times, but I'd still go for Challengers.
01:24:44
Speaker
Like I think too –
Recent Movie Highs and Lows
01:24:46
Speaker
I've talked a lot about this experience this year.
01:24:48
Speaker
Like Rap World has sat with me so beautifully.
01:24:52
Speaker
Yeah, it ages like fine wine.
01:24:54
Speaker
It ages like fine wine.
01:24:55
Speaker
Every time a joke from that movie is brought up on this podcast, it makes me laugh as hard as I did watching the movie.
01:25:02
Speaker
And that's very special.
01:25:03
Speaker
So, like, shout out to Rapp World.
01:25:05
Speaker
I'm good with Challengers being our best picture winner.
01:25:08
Speaker
That sounds good to me.
01:25:09
Speaker
Because I was like, this is going to be like the Oscars ranked voting thing.
01:25:13
Speaker
We're all going to put Challengers as a number two.
01:25:15
Speaker
And then it all gets added up.
01:25:18
Speaker
I think...
01:25:19
Speaker
I was 100% prepared to say Challenger's best pick regardless.
01:25:24
Speaker
I mean, it's truly like when I saw it for the first time in the theater, I was like, this is movies.
01:25:31
Speaker
It was my number one of the year until I saw The Substance.
01:25:33
Speaker
And even then, still to this day, I wonder...
01:25:37
Speaker
if on rewatch, if challengers will move to my number one, like, I mean, it's Austin's oh, fuck moment of the year.
01:25:43
Speaker
The fucking Zweig putting the ball in the hoop and in the thing that's nice record and then them like hitting the ball hard as fuck back and forth and then leaping into the air.
01:25:53
Speaker
I mean, that the shots from under under the court, like the tennis ball, the the first time the music kicks in the fucking sauna scene, the sweatiest scene of the year.
01:26:05
Speaker
I think if we were going to deeper categories, I think we would all have Reznor and Ross for score.
01:26:10
Speaker
Yeah.
01:26:12
Speaker
That's the easiest pick of the year for me.
01:26:16
Speaker
Understated moment of the year, the Reznor-Ross score for queer also.
01:26:20
Speaker
I'll talk about it for all the categories.
01:26:22
Speaker
It is so much more subtle than the Challengers score, especially because they use needle drops in Queer that they don't use in Challengers.
01:26:32
Speaker
They're fucking chameleons, man.
01:26:34
Speaker
When the music kicks in in Queer, it's this dreamy sort of orchestral... And they do have a cunty little EDM
01:26:44
Speaker
like a bit in there towards the end when the movie gets really trippy but like the dreamlike sort of romance yearning music that they have in that movie is next level wow who's gonna who's gonna hire charlie xcx to do her first movie score she's writing she wrote a movie oh i saw that maybe she'll john carpenter and write the score
01:27:07
Speaker
Well, congratulations to Luca Guadagnino for his film challengers to Zendaya, to Mike Feist, to Josh O'Connor, to the lady who gave Josh O'Connor.
01:27:19
Speaker
It's true.
01:27:20
Speaker
To the lady who gave Josh O'Connor that breakfast sandwich.
01:27:24
Speaker
God bless you.
01:27:25
Speaker
Austin, will you take us out with the famous golden marmalade song?
01:27:30
Speaker
Absolutely.
01:27:31
Speaker
Marmalade, oh, marmalade, you shine so brightly in the sun.
01:27:38
Speaker
You shine so bright, you are so right, and we love you day to day.
01:27:47
Speaker
Oh!
01:27:47
Speaker
That was pretty good.
01:27:52
Speaker
Goddamn, that was really fucking good.
01:27:54
Speaker
That was awesome.
01:27:55
Speaker
Yeah, baby.
01:27:56
Speaker
I'm a tough rep for that.
01:27:58
Speaker
I'll be honest.
01:27:58
Speaker
Do you want to do a lightning round high and lows?
01:28:02
Speaker
Yeah.
01:28:02
Speaker
Let's go quick.
01:28:03
Speaker
We are going to roll into the Akira Kurosawa high and low.
01:28:07
Speaker
We might as well just kind of take this.
01:28:09
Speaker
We were already doing the snake draft, so we might as well just keep going in the same order.
01:28:14
Speaker
Zach, would you mind kicking us off with your high and low?
01:28:17
Speaker
Yeah, I've been pretty much only watching Fast and Furious movies this week.
01:28:22
Speaker
So my low of those is Fast and Furious, the fourth one.
01:28:27
Speaker
We had a little bit of talk about this in the chat.
01:28:30
Speaker
I think it's pretty bad.
01:28:36
Speaker
Oh, he froze.
01:28:38
Speaker
No!
01:28:39
Speaker
He's so happy, though.
01:28:40
Speaker
The only two that I think are just massive misses are that one and X. I don't think I view these...
01:28:50
Speaker
Oh, no.
01:28:51
Speaker
Oh, no.
01:28:52
Speaker
Zach keeps freezing.
01:28:54
Speaker
You keep freezing, Zach.
01:28:55
Speaker
Sorry.
01:28:56
Speaker
No, y'all do as well.
01:28:57
Speaker
My internet is fucking up right now.
01:28:59
Speaker
Oh, you're good, man.
01:29:00
Speaker
I literally spread an alert on my computer screen.
01:29:01
Speaker
Yeah, fucking Dom is DDoSing you.
01:29:06
Speaker
Dom Toretto is DDoSing you to talk.
01:29:08
Speaker
You can't talk shit about his movie.
01:29:11
Speaker
There's three trilogies in Fast and Furious, so anything after the ninth one doesn't exist in my mind.
01:29:17
Speaker
Love that.
01:29:18
Speaker
But my high, which is my favorite Fast and Furious movie, is Two Fast, Two Furious.
01:29:23
Speaker
Shout out to John Singleton.
01:29:25
Speaker
What's up, huh?
01:29:26
Speaker
Yeah.
01:29:27
Speaker
But real quick, honorable mention to Soderbergh's The Presence.
01:29:30
Speaker
Mentioned it.
01:29:31
Speaker
It's dope.
01:29:31
Speaker
Very good.
01:29:32
Speaker
It's very good.
01:29:33
Speaker
I liked it a lot.
01:29:35
Speaker
Joe?
01:29:35
Speaker
Joe is... I started watching Gattaca on the Criterion Channel.
01:29:43
Speaker
I hated this movie.
01:29:44
Speaker
I couldn't finish it.
01:29:45
Speaker
I couldn't fucking finish it.
01:29:46
Speaker
I hated it.
01:29:47
Speaker
It's got this 90s cheese that I can't handle where it's got this... It tells an interesting story in the most meandering worst way.
01:30:00
Speaker
And it's got this narration that really fucking drives me up a wall.
01:30:05
Speaker
it's just so saccharine for no reason to like, and it shouldn't be because it's like a, it's like a surveillance sci-fi noir, uh,
01:30:14
Speaker
but it somehow finds a way to be annoying.
01:30:17
Speaker
Damn.
01:30:19
Speaker
My high is split between two movies I watched on the same day, and you've heard me talk about it a bunch, Queer, fucking fantastic movie, and then the other one is the first of the Pusher movies, when Nicholas Winding Refn was still making movies in Denmark, I think.
01:30:37
Speaker
Something like that.
01:30:38
Speaker
Sure.
01:30:38
Speaker
Is it Mads Mikkelsen in those?
01:30:40
Speaker
There is a guy in this movie that is basically Danish Tom Sizemore.
01:30:45
Speaker
Sick.
01:30:46
Speaker
And he's fucking phenomenal in this movie.
01:30:49
Speaker
Hell yeah.
01:30:49
Speaker
That's a good sell.
01:30:50
Speaker
Yeah.
01:30:50
Speaker
No, it's fantastic.
01:30:52
Speaker
They're all into the... You should go watch Pusher if you haven't.
01:30:54
Speaker
The trigger warning, they're really racist.
01:30:59
Speaker
Gotcha.
01:31:01
Speaker
The characters are... I don't think the movie itself is a racist movie, but the characters say some shit in this movie that was mind-boggling.
01:31:07
Speaker
damn well i love it i love it um my low is a movie i just finished today i started last night um runaway jury um which is a 2003 movie from gary fleeter um based on a john grisham novel it stars a great cast john cusack rachel vice gene hackman dustin hoffman
01:31:30
Speaker
Mr. Hairpiece Jeremy Piven.
01:31:33
Speaker
It's fun.
01:31:35
Speaker
It's just kind of inert and wants to be a Tony Scott movie and isn't.
01:31:39
Speaker
It's a legal thriller about a guy who is trying to swing a jury for money.
01:31:44
Speaker
Sounds cool.
01:31:46
Speaker
It's compelling.
01:31:47
Speaker
It's on Paramount+.
01:31:47
Speaker
I just kind of threw it on last night because I finished watching Raiders and I wanted something a little different.
01:31:54
Speaker
But my high is the new Mac series, The Pit.
01:32:00
Speaker
I've heard good.
01:32:00
Speaker
Really good things.
01:32:02
Speaker
Dude, it's fantastic.
01:32:04
Speaker
I'm all caught up.
01:32:05
Speaker
There's a new episode tonight.
01:32:05
Speaker
I can't wait.
01:32:08
Speaker
After tonight's episode, there'll be seven out.
01:32:10
Speaker
So for anybody who doesn't know, this show is basically ER meets 24.
01:32:14
Speaker
So every episode is an hour in a day.
01:32:16
Speaker
The whole season is 15 episodes.
01:32:18
Speaker
It's one day in an ER.
01:32:19
Speaker
Sounds phenomenal.
01:32:21
Speaker
Noah Wiley plays Dr. Robbie, the main character, in a performance that will fucking annihilate you.
01:32:27
Speaker
He is
Conclusion and Reflections
01:32:28
Speaker
so good on this show.
01:32:29
Speaker
It's the best performance I've seen on TV in at least a year.
01:32:34
Speaker
It's absolutely phenomenal.
01:32:36
Speaker
This is so surprising considering the show is basically just like...
01:32:40
Speaker
the most normal sounding medical drama 100 i was very skeptical and i like medical shows and so but i started launching it and they do this beautiful thing where the day that this season takes place on is a confluence of a bunch of things um it's the anniversary of when the main character's mentor died during covid um so he's dealing with that still and the trauma from that um died like in his arms essentially um
01:33:04
Speaker
then you're also dealing with on this day, there's a bunch of new student residents at the hospital.
01:33:10
Speaker
So you have all these new faces coming in.
01:33:12
Speaker
And also just like the procedure, there was a piece in the Times about how it was an ER worker writing an op-ed about the show that it's the most accurate depiction of the medical profession they've ever seen.
01:33:23
Speaker
Wow.
01:33:24
Speaker
And so it's very procedural, but there's so much heart and so much character.
01:33:29
Speaker
And Noah Wiley at the center is like truly will knock your socks off.
01:33:32
Speaker
He is phenomenal.
01:33:34
Speaker
Well, damn, I'm so very excited.
01:33:36
Speaker
Yeah, I I cannot.
01:33:37
Speaker
You might hate it.
01:33:38
Speaker
I might be fully wrong, but it locked me in.
01:33:42
Speaker
It took about 20 minutes and I was like, oh, this this is not what it purports to be.
01:33:47
Speaker
Wow.
01:33:48
Speaker
It's really quite special.
01:33:49
Speaker
So I commend that to everybody.
01:33:53
Speaker
That's just really delightful to hear.
01:33:55
Speaker
I keep hearing people talk about it.
01:33:59
Speaker
And when I think we talked about it in the pod, and Joe was the first person to bring it up, because he was like, do you know that Noah Wiley's in a show about a hospital in Pittsburgh?
01:34:07
Speaker
And I was like, all right.
01:34:09
Speaker
But it's... Dude, and to talk about Pittsburgh...
01:34:13
Speaker
They, it is a very great, I think they shoot it in LA, but like it has Pittsburgh running through it.
01:34:19
Speaker
And, and no, while he made a great appearance on WTF, I would wait till we watch this show to listen to him on WTF, but because he talks a lot about the show.
01:34:28
Speaker
Um,
01:34:29
Speaker
But he's also, Noah Wiley's on the writing staff of this season.
01:34:33
Speaker
He wrote an episode, a very good episode.
01:34:36
Speaker
And his interest was in getting into this through the lens of Pittsburgh.
01:34:43
Speaker
And so there's a lot of Pittsburgh in it.
01:34:45
Speaker
There's a character in the first few episodes whose father worked for Mr. Rogers.
01:34:49
Speaker
So that's bringing in Pittsburgh elements.
01:34:52
Speaker
And...
01:34:54
Speaker
it's getting at a lot of things.
01:34:55
Speaker
I'm sorry to talk about the show so much.
01:34:56
Speaker
I'm just really loving it.
01:34:58
Speaker
Please.
01:34:59
Speaker
But it's getting at a lot of things in the medical profession that nobody else is interested in talking about, like the national nursing shortage, like the fact that there's all these big box companies that are coming in and buying up all these emergency rooms and then putting them into their stable and they're underpaying these doctors.
01:35:13
Speaker
And that's why so many people are leaving.
01:35:15
Speaker
And like, these are real issues that I don't see anybody talking about, especially on, you know, medical shows that are supposed to make you feel good.
01:35:23
Speaker
I cannot say enough great things about it.
01:35:24
Speaker
Wow.
01:35:24
Speaker
It's really, really good.
01:35:26
Speaker
This is such an incredible recommendation.
01:35:29
Speaker
On to me.
01:35:30
Speaker
I don't really have a low.
01:35:32
Speaker
I had to take a couple of days break.
01:35:34
Speaker
I was in Scottsdale, Arizona for the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
01:35:39
Speaker
So I guess my low is...
01:35:42
Speaker
we were going to shoot some content out there while we were selling some stuff for Sendero.
01:35:47
Speaker
And, uh, we were shooting some content and I was doing like a man on the street style interview with these two ladies.
01:35:53
Speaker
And they just kept saying like, the whole bit was we were going to do golf trivia and,
01:35:59
Speaker
to give away some hats and they responded to every question with either MAGA or Donald Trump.
01:36:05
Speaker
Cool.
01:36:07
Speaker
And it was frustrating because it's like, lady, I'm trying to make content here.
01:36:11
Speaker
Like, I'm just trying to have fun.
01:36:12
Speaker
I want to give you this free hat.
01:36:15
Speaker
Like, let me... And every time you open your mouth, I want to give it to you, Les.
01:36:18
Speaker
So let's just stick with this.
01:36:21
Speaker
So it was just so annoying to listen to people like that.
01:36:25
Speaker
Sore ones.
01:36:28
Speaker
My... I'm going to do an honorable mention high first.
01:36:31
Speaker
Is Death Spa, which Joe kept talking about and kept recommending.
01:36:38
Speaker
And it...
01:36:41
Speaker
like a lot of these kind of 80s horror movies.
01:36:44
Speaker
And what was interesting is that I think, and Joe, you didn't really do this, but I had seen it categorized as a slasher.
01:36:52
Speaker
Because I think in the beginning, it sets up like it's going to be a slasher, and it is really not.
01:36:58
Speaker
I don't want to spoil what kind of horror movie it is, because I really think it's really effective when you get there.
01:37:05
Speaker
But it had a really effective final 35 minutes.
01:37:11
Speaker
And one of the hardest title cards I've ever seen in my entire life.
01:37:16
Speaker
Yes.
01:37:17
Speaker
Starbody Hellspa turning into Death Spa.
01:37:20
Speaker
The movie opens with a title card drop.
01:37:21
Speaker
You're just like, okay, all right, I'm in.
01:37:23
Speaker
Yeah, you're in.
01:37:24
Speaker
Yeah.
01:37:25
Speaker
I got to watch this flick.
01:37:26
Speaker
I'm excited.
01:37:26
Speaker
John already talked about it.
01:37:28
Speaker
It is on Tubi.
01:37:29
Speaker
Another movie that's on Tubi that is my actual high.
01:37:30
Speaker
The people streamer.
01:37:32
Speaker
is uh i want to make sure i get this uh director's name correctly bob clark um directed a little film called black christmas which i watched last night that i absolutely adored and it's like almost a five-star movie for me um i love slash movie really really really fucked up um
01:37:55
Speaker
Does some pretty cool giallo stuff that I wasn't sure when I watched it last time.
01:37:58
Speaker
Yes, it really does.
01:37:59
Speaker
Some really cool kind of black glove killer.
01:38:02
Speaker
Like, the way that they shoot it is really incredible.
01:38:05
Speaker
There's one specific moment, and this movie is 51 years old, so I'm going to go ahead and spoil it.
01:38:11
Speaker
There's a moment of which you see someone's red eye through the crack of a door that's very giallo, really effective.
01:38:18
Speaker
Oh, it's really cool scare.
01:38:20
Speaker
There's some really interesting POV shots and the way that they executed.
01:38:24
Speaker
There's one moment, particularly at the very beginning of the film where I truly went.
01:38:28
Speaker
How do you shoot that in 1974?
01:38:29
Speaker
Yeah, dude, I think I know what you're talking about.
01:38:32
Speaker
Like, how do you accomplish getting a camera there in what doesn't look like a crane shot?
01:38:38
Speaker
Like it's really, really, really fascinating.
01:38:42
Speaker
I think Olivia Hussey is like great in this movie.
01:38:46
Speaker
She's fantastic and so gorgeous.
01:38:48
Speaker
Oh, my God.
01:38:49
Speaker
So gorgeous.
01:38:50
Speaker
Holy shit.
01:38:51
Speaker
Yeah.
01:38:52
Speaker
And Margot Kidder is just being like the kind of lady that you want to make out with, but you don't want to date.
01:38:58
Speaker
That's right.
01:39:00
Speaker
Same in, brother.
01:39:02
Speaker
And really effectively upsetting in certain points.
01:39:07
Speaker
Really fucked up, vile movie.
01:39:11
Speaker
um which kind of just speaks to yeah yeah really hateful which kind of just speaks to our interests it's like another great ending incredible incredible cliffhanger ending on that flick oh my god yeah it also is really fun to watch that knowing what what it spawned and what came after it because it's it's like the it's like the perfect proto slasher oh yeah it's an it's an ur text for sure yeah it's four years before halloween
01:39:36
Speaker
May 1974 just to and you can tell that still you can tell that John Carpenter watched that movie was yeah and and Halloween is my is my favorite slasher I think Halloween's a five-star masterpiece yeah but there are things in this movie that I think it does better than Halloween it's just the culmination yada yada Halloween is just like a diamond it's just like cut perfectly on all sides you can see every little bit and piece
01:40:02
Speaker
Black Christmas is the raw gemstone that you cut.
01:40:04
Speaker
Exactly.
01:40:05
Speaker
That's a great, excellent way to put it.
01:40:07
Speaker
Great way to put it.
01:40:08
Speaker
Just for the listener, if you want, just the log line is it's Christmas break at a college that's very clearly the Northeast.
01:40:19
Speaker
And there is a serial killer on the loose who is terrorizing a sorority house.
01:40:25
Speaker
Which is a very classic slasher setup.
01:40:27
Speaker
Classic slasher setup.
01:40:28
Speaker
That's like the Slumber Party Massacre.
01:40:29
Speaker
Slumber Party Massacre.
01:40:31
Speaker
And it's excellent.
01:40:33
Speaker
So can't recommend it more highly.
01:40:36
Speaker
Boys, thank you for participating in this.
01:40:38
