Introduction and Genre Exploration
00:00:21
Speaker
Hello Hazardous Opinions fans. I am your host Andy and I have with me Eric. Hello. And Hunter.
00:00:30
Speaker
Hey everyone. And today we're gonna be covering our miscellaneous topic for February. So today, this month was my pick and we're gonna be covering some movies that we really enjoy from genres that we typically do not enjoy. So this is gonna be more of a open flowing episode across a lot of genres and you'll get to know a little bit more about our preferences as hosts and see what we like.
00:00:59
Speaker
So today's order is going to be Hunter, Eric, and then myself. And we're going to kind of have our same roundtable discussion as our past topics. So let's talk about this one today.
Hunter's Genre Exceptions
00:01:14
Speaker
There's not many genres I found out that I actually dislike.
00:01:19
Speaker
I was in the same position. I'm like, do I really not like this? I mean, because I do like some from it, but as a whole genre, I don't know. I did find some exceptions to this rule.
00:01:36
Speaker
You know, I did find that there was some topics or some categories where I was like, Oh, I definitely do not like that genre sub genre. And then I was like researching into it. I'm like, wait, there's actually been a few really good entries that I really enjoyed. Yeah. Yeah. What are you kicking us off with today, Hunter?
Debate on Westerns
00:01:56
Speaker
Okay. So probably like one of my most disliked genres is.
00:02:06
Speaker
Westerns, like I've mentioned you guys before, and before anybody gets angry with me, I understand, I understand that Westerns are huge to film history. And I mean, we just went over a movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, that
00:02:27
Speaker
Quentin Tarantino, you can tell he is passionate about like, that time in the Western series, as well as movies, you can tell he's very passionate about it. That's why it was included in the story with Rick Dalton being a Western type actor that was aging. And I get like the John Wayne of it all the Clint Eastwood I do I do and
00:02:57
Speaker
Westerns kind of encapsulate like quite a bit of our history with, you know, the Western frontier and everything like that. It's just, it's tough for me, because even in school, I didn't find myself interested in cowboys. I am one 16th Chippewa, and it's a very,
00:03:24
Speaker
low section of being part native American it is, but I was very interested in native American culture and everything like that. So that part of, you know, when people say Cowboys versus Indians all the time, I was interested in just like basically the native American part. Mm-hmm.
00:03:44
Speaker
And, you know, Jesse James wasn't one of my heroes or anything like that. Like you could hear from somebody else. So yeah, Westerns are one of my least favorite genres. And I did pick no country for old men as one of my interests. It is a Western.
00:04:03
Speaker
I, yeah, I mean, uh, we had the discussion before too, but like, it doesn't really need to be in a certain location, but yeah, Texas is definitely like Western, even though it's Southern. Mm-hmm. U S and yeah, that one's in El Paso, I think. I think so. I know it's in Texas. I just, it's been like two years since I've watched it. So I don't know what city exactly, but yeah.
00:04:33
Speaker
That's a, that's a good choice. It's a great movie. Yeah. Thank you. And Eric, I do understand why you're like, Oh, that's a Western. What? I mean, even if you kind of just look at it, even if it's a little more updated, like in a.
00:04:50
Speaker
more near year. Yeah. From us. Recent. There we go. Yeah. That's an easier word to say than what the fuck I just said. But it's got kind of that feel and tone of a Western as well. I could like, I could feel it because I'm like, oh, I've seen plenty of sections of Westerns that are like this. And it's also just got that
00:05:18
Speaker
underlying tone of a western where it's you know kind of almost like so dangerous and so some guys are for themselves and just low like lone ranger type you know but you know country for old men i think i enjoyed it even though as a western because
00:05:42
Speaker
Even psychologists say that Javier Bardem's portrayal of Anton Chigurh is very close to a real life psychopath. I believe that. It is. And that's always been an interesting fact to me that psychologists have actually said that, like credible people.
00:06:06
Speaker
Yeah. And I'm like, wow, that's amazing that a man that is not a psychopath in real life. I don't think Javier is a psychopath. I hope, I hope not. But like that, he can portray something like that and get pretty close to it because there's a lot of inaccurate portrayals in media of psychopaths and not
Musicals and Tim Burton
00:06:30
Speaker
to be like a
00:06:32
Speaker
like a dark freak about it or anything like that. I know a lot of people have said that like, if you're super into true crime, if you're super into serial killers, like, you know, I don't even want to go into it, but it's just that kind of just interest. It's not that glorification.
00:06:51
Speaker
Right. It's not interesting for me that like, I don't see in my everyday life. And that it like psychology is so interesting. Right. So yeah, no, like, I mean, I will say for myself, I'm not a bad guy. I'm not
00:07:07
Speaker
crazy for liking that stuff. I find it interesting that you say that because we literally have a book on our shelf that has, in big lettering, it says on the title, it's called Psychopaths in Serial Killers. It's like a big compendium of all different types of serial killers and psychopaths from the past.
00:07:36
Speaker
You know, like that's, that's something it's just like something to learn about because honestly, psychopaths are interesting because we don't understand them. Right. So, yep. Like, uh, yeah. And just same thing as like sci-fi or something. You don't have to understand it to have an interest in it. So that's, that's just what I want to put it in there. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. I, uh, yeah, I, I.
00:08:05
Speaker
I wouldn't put Westerns on my list because I don't think I've ever disliked a Western, but it's not one of those categories they necessarily seek out. So I see why you'd put that on there. But I always, I always liked the vibes, especially with, you know, all the sand really helps.
00:08:25
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. The desert, desert like nature of Texas. Yeah. Yeah. And like speaking of like Westerns that are like in recent years or like more modern, I guess, there's this movie called The Last Ant with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah. Yeah. That is also a Western. So.
00:08:51
Speaker
And that's like really high action like shooty shooty with like cars and like the guy the main the main antagonist is like literally just driving through the states in a sports car. So like I don't know what you what is considered a Western at that point. Arnold was in a Western. Apparently it's called it's called the last stand and it's also got Johnny Knoxville in it too.
00:09:17
Speaker
Oh, what the hell? Okay. That's right. It is not good. It is one of those drunk police. Yeah, it's all right. It's not great, but like that was one of those things was like, I was like, is that a Western? And then I looked it up and it was a Western. So like, I don't know. I guess because it was on the Mexican border.
00:09:40
Speaker
That's the only thing that qualifies it to be a Western. So anything like South related, considered a Western. I don't know. Yeah. I think you just, you throw that sand out there in the environment and guns and a lot of guys and it's a Western. And, uh, just one person with a cowboy hat. That's, that's it. And a tumbleweed, a tumbleweed, a tumbleweed, at least one, you know, floating across, floating across the street. You got to have Mandalorian is a Western Mandalorian.
00:10:10
Speaker
yeah okay it is now I'm officially confused I know it's uh well okay okay it's inspired by westerns yeah yeah all it takes is be inspired by a western I guess okay so if you want to say like a western
00:10:27
Speaker
has to be inspired by a Western, has a vibe like a Western. It could be a Western. It's got very, like, folky music from what I remember. It's got a gunslinger as your kind of main character. You're in the desert most of the time. It's just killing bad guys. Yeah, bounty hunters were big during the cowboy times. Yeah. Yeah. So, like, it's just inspired by Westerns. It's kind of like that futuristic
00:10:55
Speaker
touch on it though you know like which is which is interesting and I do love the Mandalorian and I love the character of Mando Din Djarin like he's amazing and I do feel like even Boba Fett back in the original trilogy like he he was he kind of had a touch of Western ish
00:11:19
Speaker
Yeah. God, that's such a, I feel like an idiot. I know. Right. Like it doesn't, it doesn't really make sense in your head. Yeah, correct. The space Western it's categorized space. Where do we go? Space Western. You know what I can, I can vibe with that. Yes. Yeah. There we go. There are space Western. Yeah. Yeah. But that's one of the Westerns I have on the list. I'll have some more for you guys, but okay.
00:11:46
Speaker
Okay, so I am not a huge fan of musicals. Yep. I never really liked them. I think the songs are hard to sit through. But I really like Tim Burton's Willy Wonka.
00:12:08
Speaker
just like just how it was with the whole thing and how modernized it was from the original Willy Wonka. I like I like seeing Johnny Depp act like a complete weirdo in it and it warms my heart. So yeah, the songs in it were I mean, they weren't terrible, but
00:12:38
Speaker
You know, they were, they were kind of cool, but obviously it wasn't like the whole part of watching it, I guess. Uh, some people like the musicals for the songs. Other people like the story. I don't know how someone could get through Hamilton, but, uh, yeah. I kind of forget that there's, there's songs in that other than like the Oompa Loompa singing.
00:13:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's just Oompa Loompas. I suppose it does fit in that category because of that, but, uh, yeah. It's a lot of the Oompa Loompas singing in that one. Pretty much. Yeah. And it's funny, you mentioned Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because. That's what it is. What am I saying? I said Tim Burton's, yeah, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. That's what it's called originally. Yep.
00:13:33
Speaker
And Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors.
00:13:37
Speaker
ever, I gotta say, uh, I love his, I don't even know how else to describe it, but like, just his, his feel and his vibe, his outlook on the world and how he sees fantastical stories and his, uh, his style. There we go. And I gotta say that all the musicals he's done, he was like, I, like we talked about before on one of our pods, I think it was Coraline's.
00:14:05
Speaker
Way back Wow throwback now But nightmare before Christmas it yeah Tim Burton wasn't heavily heavily involved It was kind of his baby, you know, and then Henry Selik delivered it right because he was working on Batman
00:14:21
Speaker
but that was a musical. So I'm sure like he kind of had a hand in that. Yes, the songs are iconic and it's not too much. And then you got Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You also have Corpse Bride. Those are musicals, but it's not too much like a regular musical is. Because I do also have musicals on my list. That's kind of what I was trying to get to.
00:14:50
Speaker
Eric, but yeah, I, I agree with you and it's funny too. Nell and I just watched Peter Kings, uh, the new Willy Wonka, the Wonka with Timothy Chalamet being Willy Wonka. And we actually, well, Nell didn't enjoy it. I,
Romance and Cultural Insights
00:15:07
Speaker
I'd say 60, I'd say 65% enjoyed it just for different reasons. I'm not going to like dive into it because we're not talking about Wonka right now, but.
00:15:19
Speaker
That, you know, that was a musical too. And a lot of the songs were pretty forgettable. I would say Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's songs stick more in your head. Yeah. You know, and I do enjoy it. It's very weird. Johnny Depp's doing a very weird thing. He might even be like overstepping the Willy Wonka weirdness compared to Timothy Chalamet and Gene Wilder.
00:15:44
Speaker
But oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Wilder just like makes you feel comfortable. Like, oh, yeah, I'll tour your chocolate factory. This guy seems cool. Hell yeah. Let's go on a fucking tour. Yeah. Yeah. But then Johnny Debs character, he's like, all right, I'm I'm ready to be done. But like.
00:16:01
Speaker
Just this guy's weirded me out. But like he also like has some witty comebacks to these bratty kids. The bratty kids. And you can just tell he he cannot stand the kids right away. It doesn't even take much. He's just like, yeah, he's just like kind of grossed out by them and then kind of like dismisses them. And I'm like, yeah, I love that. I like this guy. Yeah.
00:16:27
Speaker
I, uh, I think the Tim Burton, Charlie and chocolate factory always creep me out as a kid. Um, but I will never forget the Oompa Loompa songs. Mostly due to basic training. Yeah. Doing some very interesting exercises to that song. That's cool. We'll be forever in my head. Well, they have a pretty consistent beat. So I suppose you can have like some exercises like to the beat of those songs.
00:16:56
Speaker
That's actually funny. Yeah, you could move. They get down with it. It was us doing lunges around this big square with our full camelbacks above our head. And as you're doing each lunge, you're singing the Oompa Loompa song.
00:17:14
Speaker
No way. Yeah. You're so embarrassing. I would just sit in the corner watching like 30 grown ass men. Well, I mean, he's getting a kick out of that 17 to 30. Yeah. Like like oompa loompa like that. Yeah. Yeah. No. No sergeants have no chill. Sometimes they will just humiliate you and laugh at you. Yeah.
00:17:39
Speaker
Just holding the water above your head and just doing the thing around the square. Because why not, right? We should. Eric, can we just like make a movie of Andy and the guys doing that? Right. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's amazing. You do a lot of stupid shit in the army. Yeah, that's that's funny. You got to make it like somewhat fun, right?
00:18:04
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. They get, they get to put exercise into you somehow and they just, they want to have fun with it. So. Right. Yeah. That's not what I was expecting when you said musicals, but that's, that's a good one that, uh, uh, it's classic. And I do, I do have one too, Eric. So I'm glad you started rolling with that. Yep. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I also have musicals on my list, but I'm going to skip that one for now. Okay.
00:18:30
Speaker
I want to start off a little bit with my romance ones. So as you guys know with like spring and stuff like that, romance is not usually my category. Very cheesy, cookie cutter, low effort a lot of times. And maybe it's my own thing that I don't have my own, you know, love story yet to compare it to.
00:18:58
Speaker
But I usually just don't like, I don't connect to it. I don't like him. I don't like him. But one movie that I've watched recently that I really loved and I'm probably gonna watch again here soon is Crazy Rich Asians. It's a very sweet movie.
00:19:15
Speaker
Andy. Yeah. Andy. Yeah. Right after my wife Nell listens to this pod, she's going to be messaging you. She's going to be messaging you about Crazy Rich Asians. She read the book and she loves that and she showed it to me and I really enjoyed it too. Okay. Is it accurate in the book from what she's told you? Because it's a true story, right? It's not. I don't think so.
00:19:44
Speaker
I think it changed some things from the book, from what I remember her saying, but you'll have to have a conversation with her. Okay. Yeah. I don't know the backstory enough about it, but I'd be interested to learn. Oh, of course. I don't know. I don't know if it just hit me in the right mood or if it's back of a movie, but I mean, the ratings can speak for yourself. I think it's just a outstanding romance movie that's.
00:20:11
Speaker
Even though most people that probably watch it are not of the like family dynamic to really understand Chinese families and how that works. You still kind of like, you can pick up on all that and like understand, even though you haven't experienced a lot of that yourself and.
00:20:32
Speaker
at least understanding it in your own way and like people that are out of your league. And it's I think it's just a really sweet romance movie that got me in the fields multiple times. The the cultural differences. Right. You can like. Yeah. I really like that you brought up that point. That's maybe a part of why I enjoy that movie is because how are we supposed to know as you know, like
00:20:58
Speaker
not coming from Asian families or Asian countries. And apparently it is really a thing. It's a real thing. And it's really sad to think about when you put it in a story like this. Right. You know. Yeah. I'm sorry, it is Chinese, right? Or is it it's Singapore? It's us. Yeah, it's Singapore. Yep. OK. My bad. I just want to get the right country there.
00:21:24
Speaker
No, you're good. I can't believe you. How could you not? Eric, have you seen it? I have. Our main character was Chinese, I thought. Oh, actually, no, I think she might be boyfriend. Yeah, so it's like the Asians, but like the. They like a lot of there's a lot of different cultures within Asia, right?
00:21:52
Speaker
So it's easy to mix up, I guess. Well, in classes. So yeah, classes. Yeah. So there's, there's that too. That's the complexity too of like.
00:22:06
Speaker
Like, Oh, you're from this country. And like,
Biopics and Authenticity Debate
00:22:08
Speaker
it's just the thing that like, we don't really practice in America. Like we were such a melting pot that like, what country you really come from doesn't matter too much, or at least I hope for most people here. Yeah. I can't speak for everyone. What, what, whereas over in like Asia, it's very like, Oh, you come from this predominant family and stuff. And yeah, like you said, it's very much cultural differences watching the movie, but I think they, they ease you into that really well.
00:22:36
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, definitely. And, uh, like right away when you brought up, uh, when we were talking about where it was set mostly and like bringing up signipore, God guys, like, Oh, what a beautiful fricking city that I would love to visit. Right. Absolutely. Oh God. Just breathy chance. I get, I'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. And very good Asian actors in this movie. Like you got Michelle, yo, you got.
00:23:07
Speaker
Henry, why am I blinking on his last name? Yup.
00:23:13
Speaker
And Gemma Chan. I'm still somewhere in the middle for her. I don't know. I feel about Awkwafina. Awkwafina? Who's the other comedian in there? Ken Jeong? Is that what it is? Oh, yes. Yeah, that played Leslie Chow. Hangover. Hangover, yeah. Yes, that's Ken Jeong.
00:23:39
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. He's good at it. I like his role. Oh yeah. He always kills it in anything he's in. Yeah. But yeah, very enjoyable.
00:23:49
Speaker
Sorry, last point on Crazy Rich Asians. You're good. Wow. Like, so when they say crazy rich, like they're not lying. Like you watch this movie and you're like, you think, you know, rich watching like my million dollar lotto home or something in America here. Like it's a whole nother level in this movie. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's insane. Yeah. No, it's nuts. Like they actually capitalize on how rich the people are.
00:24:17
Speaker
You know, like it does tell that part of the story very well. I agree. Yeah. Like a, like a level of wealth that like most the 99.99% of people will never understand.
00:24:31
Speaker
Like right at the beginning, that's where it kicks off. And like, I actually love that beginning scene in the hotel. Where it's like, yeah, I'm, I'm her, you know, like Michelle, yo, God, she kills it. Michelle, yo seems so sweet, but God damn her role in that. Yeah. God, she seems so cold and it's so weird seeing her in that light. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, definitely.
00:24:59
Speaker
Okay, anything else on Crazy Rich? No, no, I'd like to one day cover that one more in depth because it's it's just a fantastic movie. But yeah, just one of those romance movies that is really good. You know, Andy, you just gave me an idea. That's
00:25:18
Speaker
an episode Nelkin guest star on. She would love that. Yes. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. That would be interesting to have like, you know, kind of comparing that in the book and yeah, no, she, she'd be very good at it. Promise not guys. I'm not just saying it because she's my wife. She's passionate about that movie. That's one of the first movies she showed me and it does hold a special place in my heart. So thank you for bringing that up, Andy. That, that was very good.
00:25:47
Speaker
Oh, let's see here. Okay. So going away from Westerns, musicals. All right. And well, I love romance movies. Actually. Thanks, Andy. Shut up. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding, bud.
00:26:04
Speaker
but I'll go with a, whether you guys wanna say a biopic or biopic, I don't know, I don't know what people like to say. Biopic. Biopic. Biopic. Biography? That's usually what I say. Biography. Yes, biopic. That's what I would say. Okay, thank you. But somebody, some people say biopic. That's okay. If it's a medical term, but medical term. Biopic, biography, so you're saying these things aren't the same thing.
00:26:33
Speaker
Because biopsies, right? So I assume biopic would be medical. Oh, yeah, it kind of does sound like you do a biopic. What the fuck are we getting into, boys? I'm trying to defend this person that I don't even know if it's saying it wrong. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not just saying one single person, guys. I've heard it on podcasts. I've heard it on videos. Trust me. People say both biopics and biopics.
00:27:01
Speaker
Well, it's interchangeable, I guess. I'm sorry, but they're wrong. I mean, yeah, I say biopics too. Okay. Let's, as a pod, biopics. Okay. Biopics. So I chose Bohemian Rap City. I know the director, which I believe is Brian Singer.
00:27:23
Speaker
He's not a good man. I will come out and say that right away. I think I have it right. I think that's why people had some pushback on this movie. Honestly though, if you watch it,
00:27:35
Speaker
wow I love 80s classic rock and the story of Queen it was enjoyable and entertaining enough just on its own without it adding some spectacle to it like movie spectacle right yeah it was like these guys's lives you know and it was also like it was also touching and
00:28:00
Speaker
Dang, guys, like, Raimi Malek. Wow. His effort going in. Freddie Mercury? Damn. Freddie Mercury was, like, such an interesting character, too. He's so unique, right? Yeah. Yeah. And he just, like, he just embodied that, like, that character. And, like, I can't tell the two from apart now. No, not really. No. And it's just...
00:28:26
Speaker
props to the makeup too with the with the teeth and yeah and like all the rest of the guys were very good as the rest of the queen team you know and it was just it was a very enjoyable movie
00:28:44
Speaker
I'm, I'm glad that they actually played over like actually like the actual queen songs instead of having somebody else sing them. I don't know. It just, it felt so effortless and like natural. It really matched what they were doing on screen. Yeah. And I wasn't blown off by it, that it was just original audio and.
00:29:09
Speaker
Like, you know, it's better than trying to replicate his voice. You know what I mean? Right. Right. Yeah. And like, you know, I don't know who could do nowadays. They have Queen has Adam Lambert as their lead singer. And he sounds somewhat close, but I wouldn't say the exact. Yeah, I've never heard him. So I don't know. OK. Yeah. You look up some of their songs like with Adam Lambert now being their singer, but
00:29:38
Speaker
with Bohemian Rhapsody and me being so close to classic rock because of my dad and just loving 80s music in general. I forgot I'm a pretty old soul guys, but like I wanted to share some of that with Nell because she didn't grow up with that. And I kind of just wanted to give her a little insight into my world. And I felt like Bohemian Rhapsody was kind of a medium to do that.
00:30:07
Speaker
which was awesome. Rocket Man next. Rocket Man, yes, that is on our list still. We need, yeah, yeah. I love Elton John and I love Taron Edgerton, so I really wanna see that still. Yeah, I haven't seen that yet either, but that is, yeah, definitely.
00:30:29
Speaker
going on the list. Also, the dirt. Yeah, the dirt is so cool. I've seen that one. That one's a good one. Oh, with Molly Crew. Molly Crew. Yeah, I watched the beginning of it. I can't remember why I didn't finish it, though. But I heard a lot of things about it. Yeah. And also like with biopics. All right. I'm going to say it. We're just rolling with that.
00:30:54
Speaker
with biopics, why I kind of brought it up as one of my least favorite genres is because it's tough. It's really tough capturing a huge figures life, even when you're doing a movie on it. And it's very tough to find that one person that embodies
00:31:13
Speaker
that famous person, sometimes it can take you out of it seeing somebody else on screen. And I know I know we can't bring these people back, you know, like if they're they're passed away, you know, everything like that. But yeah, and their lives sometimes, like I said, with Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen story was very interesting without adding these theatrics and stuff to it. Sometimes
00:31:38
Speaker
movies push the theatrics too much. And then you kind of get like, okay, why did they add that if that actually didn't happen? You know, and that's, that's an interesting thing. And like, I, I like to do, I like to think of a weight
00:31:59
Speaker
Well, I don't know how I'm gonna word this, but like, I like to get my information about a certain person if they made a biopic about them, right? Like, recently I've seen, I've seen a movie called Notorious. It was about Biggie Smalls, Notorious B.I.G. And I liked it. It was really good. And the thing is, is like, I don't know
00:32:25
Speaker
if like everything in that movie was true to his story and I don't know if I would ever know because like they would kind of have to know enough to go off of like how this went about to make this thing but then I don't know I if they added theatrics in there I wouldn't know and that's the part where like
00:32:49
Speaker
I worry about because if they put the actress in there that I don't know about it, I'm just going to believe that happened. If they told me that Biggie Smalls hijacked a tour bus and murdered everybody on board, I don't know if I would believe that, but I would be pretty inclined to believe it because I don't do my research. That would be misinformation, I guess.
00:33:19
Speaker
I don't know why they, like, yeah. I think it's for drama. I have a question for you guys on Biopics. Okay. Yeah. How do you guys feel about doing them while the person is still alive? That's a little weird. Mm. Rocket Man? Yeah, like Elton John's still alive. Oh, well, I think that's like...
00:33:43
Speaker
better, in my opinion, because like, you can only assume that they went to him for reference on his story, right? Because they're able to tell you stuff. Yeah, indescrepancy happened or this happened. And then, you know, even if they did want to put theatrics in there, you'd be okay, because the person that's still alive probably gave permission for them to do that, right? So yeah, they're like, juice it up a little bit.
00:34:10
Speaker
I don't know, like, like if Freddie Mercury is still alive, do you think he would like, if he was able to give his voice on the movie of Bohemian Rhapsody, he'd be like, no, take out all the stuff that makes me look bad or take out the drug use. Just the drug use and stuff, I think. Drug use? Well, what aid? And also like Rock Band hasn't used drugs.
00:34:33
Speaker
Very true. But like, you wonder like if they're still alive, would they also, also cheating on his wife and best friend with true men, you know, like not, not a bad thing that it was with men. I'm just saying cheating in general, you know, well, of course. And.
00:34:55
Speaker
You think you would come to terms with it though? Be like, yeah, that's, that's my past and like, you know, it's okay. Honestly, honestly, if they, the famous people were honest people and that it was already out there. Like it was for us. If you think about it with the Freddie Mercury queen stuff, maybe they would allow it.
00:35:22
Speaker
You know, and just let it in like, Hey, tell my story, you know, go ahead. And if they really appreciate art as well, movies are art. Yep. So yeah, I'll give a very simple answer on like, if they're still alive and like making it, uh, like, um, Rocket Man with Elton John, I'll say it like, if they just give permission, it's all good.
00:35:51
Speaker
You know, that's, that's my clean answer really. Like if they're totally for it and they consult on it a bit or whatever they want to do, or it's just like, Oh, it's in your guys's hands. Do whatever. All right. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's about a, it's about a horse a piece. Like if they're dead, then you can lie about them. Um, but yeah, if they're alive, it's yells of those things. So I don't know. Biopics are an interesting thing.
00:36:21
Speaker
They are. Yeah. That made me think about like a notorious, uh, where he, where they told, you know, his story and he didn't do. He didn't do very great things throughout that movie. Like he also cheated and stuff. So I'm thinking that like, maybe they did like a whole.
00:36:45
Speaker
Like a, uh, tell-all before they died at some point. I mean, otherwise who's going to know about this stuff? I guess the exes and stuff, but like, do you think that's where these, uh, biopics are made from? Or people close to them kind of just passing on their story too. Yeah. Yeah, I suppose. Yeah. Like any close ones that might've, might've known. Yeah.
00:37:12
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You think we're going to never mind. Yeah. I don't know. I guess that's where we as viewers get to rate it and actually look at the history and see, but like, I don't want to talk about too much. Yes. We'll, we'll talk about
Murder Documentaries and Narratives
00:37:28
Speaker
more on the Oscars, but I watched Flamin' Hot finally Hunter. Oh, you did. And really enjoyed it. But yeah, looking into the story behind it, you're like, Oh yeah. A lot of this is fabricated and yeah.
00:37:41
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, and I have seen articles on that too.
00:37:47
Speaker
Hopefully Kayla's, hopefully Kayla's listening out there, but like, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and saw what I saw in it, like describing it to you. And editing was very good. Can you say? Yeah, I was just gonna say, yeah, from Kayla's perspective, she did everything right. Yeah. Story, comedy, all the actors, just, uh, obviously the story bordering behind the scenes, I guess.
00:38:14
Speaker
I don't know the push for that if it's a marketing thing. But yeah, we'll go more into that in the Oscars because I do want to talk in depth about that one. Awesome. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, of course. OK, so this is kind of a niche genre because I like I generally like romantic comedies like
00:38:42
Speaker
because like a lot of the romantic comedies I've seen, I pretty much liked. What I really, what I don't like is the romance dramas. Cause mainly what comes to mind is like the notebook and Fifty Shades of Grey, which I don't like. So with that being said, I'm going to say that I like from this category, passengers.
00:39:12
Speaker
OK, which I don't know if it has to have like a sci-fi element for me to like it, but I really enjoyed this one. Probably, Eric, probably. Maybe, maybe it does. I don't know. But yeah, I really enjoyed this one with with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah.
00:39:41
Speaker
Oh, sounds like you really remember this sci-fi romance film, Eric. I forgot her name. I was going to say Mockingjay. I knew she wanted to say it. Oh, she wanted to say it. You got this evergreen. Come on now. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. I mean, like, I really, I really enjoyed it. That's why I was like, I was trying to find a category that I didn't like and this was it. And then this was like a movie that I liked. So I'm going to fight both of you on this genre.
00:40:06
Speaker
Okay, okay, I agree with you and I agree with you on the movie You so you like it Andy, huh? You like that. Yeah, I I don't like the genre And I do like the movie. So I agree with Eric here. Okay. Do you like the notebook? I
00:40:26
Speaker
me yeah i love it oh no yeah that's why i'm gonna fight you guys oh my god oh my god dude no seriously bro oh all right okay i know it hurts you to the core but i'm gonna say it eric eric human connection is a snooze fest it is when it's like that
00:40:54
Speaker
joking oh my god maybe maybe i don't find human connection as entertaining as anyone else okay hey i'm the weird one i don't know i understand that you're masculine men both of you all right oh yeah but as a as a man that is in touch with his feelings
00:41:16
Speaker
I love the notebook and other movies like it. I gotta say, no, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm not going to be, I mean, if you do, that's okay, man, but you know, like, uh, like just one little tidbit about that genre. Yeah. Even though.
00:41:37
Speaker
you might have a partner in real life. Like you do, Eric, Andy. Yeah. I hope, I hope sometime soon. All right. You don't get those emotions with your partner every single day. You don't get that kind of huge overarching story.
00:42:01
Speaker
Yeah. But in moments, in moments with them, I feel like you do have some of those feelings. And movies like that just really bring them out. And like, okay, God, guys, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sound sappy as shit right now. Don't don't make fun of me. Don't laugh. Okay. But
00:42:24
Speaker
Like they make, they make me more grateful for my wife. All right. And, uh, kinda just, uh, the position I'm in and really appreciating love like that. Right. That you can find it in a world like this. And I'm just saying that as I'm not even going to go into the world right now, but just, uh, kind of a general sense, right?
00:42:53
Speaker
So yeah, that's that's all I gotta say. I'm sorry for getting serious. I'm just no, no, no, I that's it. That's it. I think that's beautiful, man. Thanks, man. Thank you. God, you're that's so touching. Thank you. I do like passengers. I mean, it's not like the the like it's not like the sci-fi part like carries it. Like I really like how. Like.
00:43:20
Speaker
he was like the only one he thought he was the only one left alive and then like he saw this most beautiful girl and then like he did a really worked up the courage to talk to her like he was talking to the bartender the robot bartender about her oh yeah this time and then like yeah and then it was like there was like rise and falls throughout it and leaving out the whole world dilemma where he doomed her to die
00:43:54
Speaker
And Eric, I watched that in theaters and I really enjoyed it too. I did. I really liked that movie even though the reviews say otherwise. I do. I think the sci-fi aspect really adds to it. That's why I was kind of adding that little bit about like, that's probably why you enjoy it more. And that's perfectly okay if an aspect like that needs to be thrown into the works, like totally.
00:44:12
Speaker
Yeah, that was messed up. Hey, that's a pretty big part of it.
00:44:22
Speaker
I mean, if it, if it just like, if that's what keeps me in there, like, I mean, cool. I'm all for it. You know? So yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Is that back to mine already? Yeah. Back to you, man. Damn. I'm going to kind of touch on a little bit of rom-dram romance dramas, but being mainly in the musical category, going back to Eric's other category and go with La La Land.
00:44:53
Speaker
So this one combines romance and musicals, two things that equally not, I wouldn't say a dislike any genre, but I definitely don't favor it or go towards it. And, uh, this movie's pretty fucking awesome. And how could you go wrong with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling? Yeah.
00:45:14
Speaker
Yeah. You know, I never saw it because it was a musical. So I don't know. It's it's really good. There's like the songs aren't bad. Like. I can't say I really remember any of them now. It's been about a year since I've watched it, but like, yeah.
00:45:35
Speaker
i remember really enjoying all of it and there's uh some really good jazz uh ryan gosling is like a jazz pianist i think i love jazz everybody can make fun of me but i love jazz whatever you like jazz god damn and that's exactly what i was waiting for you bitches
00:45:59
Speaker
You know, B-movie episode coming up. I know. Yeah. I just watched B-movie. Like I rewatched it like a couple months ago and that's just so fun. But no, yeah, La La Land is seriously like amazing performances from Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
00:46:17
Speaker
The director, Damien Chazelle is super good. I do need to see more of his stuff. Like Andy, I'm gonna watch Whiplash to get ready for our episode on that. And still need to finish Babylon. Nell and I started it a while ago, but I'm really excited for that as well. La La Land, since I love cinematography, like one of the best looking movies to me.
00:46:48
Speaker
It is I just don't remember loving loving the story. I do enjoy the ending because of what it did. And that it wasn't typical, right? But yeah, yeah, I just I really remember the look of it and the jazz part of it and the ending really.
00:47:07
Speaker
La La Land has a very, from what I remember, like stage play type of cinematography, or it's very like, like set cameras and like, almost like your stage is moving rather than the camera.
00:47:22
Speaker
Yeah, type of thing. But yeah, it's a it's a great movie. And yeah, the I think Damien Chazelle in general is just trying to really get me into jazz with whiplash in this. And it's working like I never just like jazz, but I didn't listen to it too much. And these guys listen to it together.
00:47:42
Speaker
We shall. We shall. And hey, I can whip out my alto sax from high school guys and I can start finally fucking playing jazz. That's exactly
Animation for Adults
00:47:51
Speaker
why I picked up that instrument. I thought we'd be playing jazz, but we didn't, we got the recording. We didn't play jazz. We did it. Okay. Yeah. Just, you know, you guys know small schools, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But.
00:48:07
Speaker
You know, there goes that dream. It'd be cool if you did though. Honestly, I'd rather listen to jazz than the marching band type shit. Concert music. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Yes. Same. Instead of those symphonies. Let's. Yeah. We like jazz. We like jazz. Yeah. I like jazz. God. Yeah. Yeah. Good pick though. Yeah. Back to you Hunter.
00:48:35
Speaker
I'll go, since you went with musical, I'll hop back to another Western. Okay. Bone Tomahawk. Have either of you seen this?
00:48:47
Speaker
I have never even heard of bone. Tomahawk bone Tomahawk. Well, guys, I got a special thing for you. All right. So don't like Westerns. And this is definitely, definitely a Western. Not the ones that were contemplating. This is full on Western. Oh, yeah. They ride horses in this one. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. And Kurt Russell is in it. Just like he was in the hateful eight. I feel like this guy likes Westerns. Yeah.
00:49:16
Speaker
But, uh, also Patrick Wilson is in it. And the, uh, I keep forgetting the actor's name, the dad from stepbrothers. Oh, yes. He's, he's also in it. Richard Jenkins. Richard. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So those guys, dad from Dahmer as well. That's the guy you're thinking of.
00:49:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. He's just dead. He's everywhere. Yeah. He's a dad of people. Yeah. Yeah, basically. And he got all right. Why'd you have to say that? You got me now. But it's it's a pretty recent movie. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's 2019. But yes, Bone Tomok.
00:50:10
Speaker
2015 20 I mixed it up with a different movie my bad. I should have known it was 2015 anyways very good movie But what I like about this movie to kind of like get you guys into it and not give away too much of the plot This small Western settlement is disturbed by some strange murderings
00:50:38
Speaker
And there's a drifter, David Arquette from ScreamFam, love David. Thankfully he was in this as well. He's a straggler and he comes into the town, he gets arrested and things kick off from there because he did run into something outside of the town in the beginning and they were coming for him.
00:51:05
Speaker
It is that's our guy I was gonna get into that okay, okay, so it does say in the plot Yes, there are there's a tribe of cannibals. That's all I'll say
00:51:16
Speaker
Okay. Okay.
00:51:36
Speaker
long-term i'll give it away we'll just get a list off a bunch of movies yeah you don't have to tell us more i'm i'm intrigued with this though seriously it is so good seriously like okay they take their time with it i like what they do with it like being in the western element with this horror element added into it
00:51:59
Speaker
I really enjoy it. Yeah. That's okay. That's interesting. Ashley, my coworker, my old coworker, I hope she's listening to this. You, you suggested this for me. So thank you. And I just brought it up.
00:52:12
Speaker
Thanks, Ashley. I had to shout her out because I totally forgot to shout her out during spring. She also, she also recommended spring to me and she's a big Eli Roth fan and big into horror. So I'm really glad she found this Western gem for me because we were talking about it one day and I told her I don't like Westerns and she doesn't really like Westerns either, but she's like, check this one out. I'm like, Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson. I'm sold, you know?
00:52:43
Speaker
Yeah. So that's Bone Tomahawk and add it to your guys's list. Yeah. It's on Hulu. It's on Hulu, by the way. It's for free. I don't know if I watched a Western horror before, so this is a good one. Western horror. Isn't that kind of an interesting, like, you know? You know, I mean, wasn't that one Lincoln movie with the vampires? A Lincoln vampire slayer. Yeah. Was that a was that a Western horror movie?
00:53:14
Speaker
What the fuck was Abe Lincoln involved in western stuff? I don't know, man. I'm just I might be stretching here or I might be reaching here. Another Quentin Tarantino thing, guys, from dusk till dawn. That was, I'd say, western vampire stuff, right? Yeah. Yeah, killed on from dusk till dawn.
00:53:40
Speaker
There's also that one movie that was that one Western movie that was about zombies. It was Red Dead Redemption. No, that's not what it's called.
00:53:54
Speaker
Yeah, I don't remember what it's called, but I think there's like some sort of Western zombie movie that I've seen a long time ago out there. OK. That might be also a Western horror. Maybe we should like look up like Western horror or no round up a group of them. Yeah. Yeah. Like like now I'm like intrigued. I'm like to answer this question because it does seem like a very, very niche thing. Yeah.
00:54:22
Speaker
Yeah, it's definitely a very niche category. So I just want to point this out. I don't have any examples of like any movies I particularly like from this genre, but I don't like murder documentaries. They put me in
00:54:42
Speaker
Oh. Really? Yeah, usually. It has to be something else other than murder for me to invest my attention in a documentary. It may sound weird, but that's how I am. So true. True crime. You don't really enjoy? True crime, not really. Because it seems like I already know what happened. Obviously, somebody died. Somebody got murdered by somebody. I already know who it was that killed them.
00:55:11
Speaker
But all they're talking about is the person that did it and how they were before they got killed. And I feel like I sound very insensitive when I say shit like this, but that just doesn't really interest me because like, all right, well, we caught him, right? I know he's life in prison, so...
00:55:35
Speaker
I don't know. You do sound like the worst person ever. Yeah. I know. I suck so bad. Did you ever watch the conversations with the killer on Netflix? The what? Conversations with the killer. There's like four different ones, I think, where they do a different serial killer per show. Conversations with the killer. You know, like.
00:56:01
Speaker
When it, when it goes into that, I guess, I don't know. Maybe Mindhunter isn't an exception. Maybe because it's not really a documentary. It's a show, but. Hmm. Did you enjoy Mindhunter? I really did. I really enjoyed Mindhunter. Okay. That's from my boy, David Fincher. So you fricking better. I'm just kidding. I passed the test. I passed the vibe test. I'm so mad. It was canceled guys. Can you believe that? One of the best Netflix series? Yeah, it's canceled. Yeah. Bro.
00:56:30
Speaker
It wasn't David Fincher's idea either. All right, well, we're about. Oh, my God. And no ad sponsors ever. Please, please, we want your business sponsors, sponsored by murder. Anyways, it's just getting out and they're going to have to wonder what you said.
00:56:56
Speaker
Yeah, you can cut that out, Andy. I didn't say it. It was just a harmless joke. I swear. Okay. I'm going to bring us around to a category that we haven't covered yet. And this is a very niche, not exactly cut and dry one, but like post adulthood animation movies.
00:57:24
Speaker
obviously i love i love animations from when i was a kid uh because i was a kid and they were made for me but now that i'm an adult like any they've been made since i usually avoid them i don't like disney movies i don't usually delve into that realm but one i do want to talk about is the puss in boots movie from two two years ago now
00:57:48
Speaker
The last one. Yeah, I think the second one. Yeah, it's very good. And yes, actually delves into some real topics, has some really good comedy that works for adults and kids and very nice animation style.
00:58:07
Speaker
Yeah, it was definitely different from the first plus and boots and all the track movies. You could kind of see that like change very easily with the animation style. And even though like into the spider verse came out before it, I wouldn't say like I've heard some people kind of compare the animation style to that. I would disagree.
00:58:33
Speaker
You know, Spider-Verse is kind of its own thing, and I don't think it was trying to copy it. I think it just... It's just Android, right? Try to go into a different direction, you know? But Andy, I'm really glad you brought it up, because, yeah, wow, that is one of the best animated movies I've seen in years. And to add on to it, you wouldn't really think a villain
00:59:02
Speaker
in an animated movie would be one of your favorite villains you've seen in a while. Right. The Wolf. Right. Oh, man. And I I can't remember the voice actor to save my life, but I know like I see his face. Oh, yeah. Yes. I didn't even see him in the villain. I considered him like a. I don't know, just like a part of the story. I. The Wolf.
00:59:29
Speaker
Yeah, I guess, yeah, he is kind of an antagonist. He, I'd say he's the biggest one. And then the second one is John Mulaney's, um, character, the big baby thing. Yes. I'd say he's a secondary. Yeah. And it all comes down to the wolf and Puss in Boots fate, right. With death or, you know, wow. Just, you know, I'm very, I'm biased because I love wolves to death and they are.
00:59:59
Speaker
They are not the scary creatures people paint them out to be because I've been around one. But that being said, still just you could plant any animal. But I think just a wolf for some reason really fit this character. And was just stunning, amazing, intimidating, effective, everything. Yeah.
01:00:25
Speaker
Yeah, this, this movie works on so many levels. And his name was Wagner Mora. And he plays, uh, plays Pablo Escobar in one of my favorite shows in, in Narcos. Shit. Well, he's also on something else because I didn't really watch Narcos. I remember the gray man, that, and there's gotta be one other thing that I remember him from, but I can't.
01:00:54
Speaker
Think of it for the life of me. Dang. But yeah, no, very, very good voice acting from him. Yes. Yeah. And from Antonio Banderas as well as, as Puss. Oh yeah. Once Puss in Boots, like once he showed up in Trek II, I was, I was done for. That was one of my favorite animated characters ever. And I'm so happy that there's like a standalone movie, two movies for him.
01:01:20
Speaker
Even the first one
Sci-Fi Preferences
01:01:21
Speaker
was pretty good too, but this one was just a step up. And how do you do that? You know? Yeah. Oh, and not just the like amazingly real chats on anxiety, but like really like relationship talk as well with the, the kitty. Salma Hayek's character. Oh, I love Salma.
01:01:44
Speaker
And yeah, just a lot of really good adult conversations in this movie, even though it's obviously animated and like more targeted towards kids. And, you know, it's in that boundary in like that middle line where it can be disguised for kids as well, though. Yeah. I think that's just what it takes for me. I need something for me, something for the adults when I watch it. I get you. I get you.
01:02:12
Speaker
I would say on your point about like Disney movies and I mean, can we like have some hazardous opinions on hazardous opinions? Oh man, I'm doing that Leo point meme right now. There it is. No, I just watched once upon a time, but I will say what the Disney movie is more, more on the line of Pixar at least there.
01:02:42
Speaker
Even when we were kids, it wasn't just for us. And I think I had a, I think I told you guys in the Coraline episode, throwing it back again to the first episode I was on, like, I can't remember, you know, I can't believe I remember, but I just, I feel like there has always been in quite a bit of animated movies, I won't say all of them,
01:03:08
Speaker
But those like big tentpole ones like Pixar and Disney, there's always been underlying adult elements for us. You just, you have to find them when you're in the right spot in your life, you know? Like as a kid, you kind of just view it and you just see this nicely wrapped gift. But when you really like get in it, when you're older,
01:03:37
Speaker
It's just really eye-opening, I gotta say. And that's why I love animation. And Andy, I don't blame you for not liking a lot of...
01:03:49
Speaker
animated now, now that you're older. I'm, I'm just kind of bringing up that, that counterpoint, you know, to it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I see that. And I think there's in the last couple of years, there's been a few good standouts, but overall I can say I'm safe to blanket the category as generally avoiding for me.
01:04:12
Speaker
Oh, for sure. Hey, yeah. If it's not for you, it's not for you. You know, did you check out all time lately? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, definitely. Did you check out Orion in the dark by the way? I did not yet. No. Okay. Okay. Please let me know your thoughts on that one. I want to know. Yeah. No, nice. Okay. Sweet. I'm back to you. Okay. One more round through.
01:04:42
Speaker
Okay, so I'll bring up one we haven't brought up yet. Even though Eric kind of had that romance with the sci-fi element, I will go mostly sci-fi. I knew this one. It's a very, I knew some of your guys' too, this fucking episode. I was ready for the romance stuff. Wait, are you taking a jab at sci-fi as a whole?
01:05:12
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no, not not as a whole. So like, I'm really kind of going sub genre of sci fi, if it makes sense. Like, yeah, kind of just movies like really primarily set out in space. And
01:05:27
Speaker
You know, I don't know if I could even categorize this movie in the movies. I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of like gravity interstellar guys. I haven't, I haven't even seen gravity, but I have no interest at all whatsoever. It's like space films. Yes. Okay. Those are like drama space films. And like, so you wouldn't like a space obviously at all.
01:05:50
Speaker
Probably not, probably not. And I think I mentioned that to you guys. Like that is a big classic on everybody's list, but I'm not interested in watching it. I don't have that urge. And it's really weird. Like space is a very interesting thing. It's just that the movies that are made up there, they don't really, they're not actually set in space. Sorry. Sorry, but like not filmed in space, but
01:06:19
Speaker
They just, they don't really speak to me and I don't connect to them, but I could go, I'll say Dune.
01:06:32
Speaker
Okay, does that kind of make sense? It's okay. So it can be a big space. Yeah, planet side. That's more of like another planet. Yeah, that's true. And like I had Star Wars on this list too, but okay. Well, maybe I shouldn't go doing okay. Could I go?
01:06:51
Speaker
Well, can I can I say something? So yeah, I'm gonna like I'm gonna agree with you on the whole space thing. If it's gonna be like a realistic type space movie. Yep.
01:07:06
Speaker
boring because yes yes there's nothing in space like we kind of know like what space is it's really literally quite literally nothing so like make a movie about it like gravity i've never seen gravity either and i've never had no interest in watching it either no because like yeah i know that if you let go of that thing you're gonna be screwed and i'm like if that's what the whole movie is about i
01:07:33
Speaker
I, I don't think that's like really worth it to me. So I agree with you on that. It would be boring. But like, would you add like laser guns and laser swords and stuff? Okay. That's pretty cool. Okay. Have my, uh, maybe have my attention here, but you have to have something else other than like space. If you make space, the whole thing about the movie, it's going to suck. You know what I mean? Right. Right.
01:08:03
Speaker
I'm also thinking too of, let's see, Guardians of the Galaxy, that's in space quite a bit. It's jumping from planet to planet, but I do enjoy it. Star Wars, of course. I mean, you know, Star Wars is obviously grouped in the conversation with Dune, of course, because Star Wars pulled from Dune's stuff. Did it?
01:08:28
Speaker
It did. It did. Dune came first. Oh. Pretty sure. Yup. Yup. So you can see a lot of that like Messiah stuff and you know, like the chosen one. I did see similarities. Yeah. That's cool. It's basically from Dune, you know. And I'm trying to think of another. Okay. You haven't seen Martian yet, have you?
01:08:49
Speaker
The Martian. No, you guys told me about that one. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. So I don't know. That one's a good one. I don't know if I'm going to enjoy that. I'll be honest with you guys, but I am going to watch it for you guys. I do like, and I'm not saying, Oh, I'm going to watch it for you guys. So like praise me, you know, like.
01:09:07
Speaker
that I'm just gonna watch it because you guys recommended it and you really like it so I really respect that and I'll watch it. I was primarily thinking of Interstellar for this one because Interstellar kind of goes
01:09:22
Speaker
to planets, and it has a little more futuristic things in it and like kind of mind bendy stuff. A lot of mind bendy stuff. So I'm trying to I'm trying to think of like what that is for me that I just did not really latch on to and didn't like but I love doing in Star Wars. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Does that kind of make sense? So yeah, it kind of does. Like, I think, I think interstellar
01:09:53
Speaker
was playing more with the idea of like space itself. Maybe that doesn't like, like cause cause it goes into like wormholes and time travel and stuff like that. Maybe, maybe it's more of the fiction part and then the more of like the space idea part.
01:10:13
Speaker
this? Yeah, yeah, wait, gravitate, you gravitate towards I'm not sure. It could be that's, that's kind of a good point. And like, don't get me wrong, guys, space is beautiful. Like, I, I could look up at the clear night sky with stars every night in the moon. You know, like I told you guys about Orion in the dark. I love I still love the nighttime. Even now, you know, it's very important to me. And that's like, that's my time. But
01:10:43
Speaker
just something there is just not clicking. And I really do want to get to the bottom of it still. Maybe more of a related movie that I could bring up that I love from that kind of sub genre. I could go life. Have you guys seen that? I haven't. Like with Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson,
01:11:11
Speaker
It takes place up in a space shuttle and they capture species of alien and they don't know what it is exactly yet. And they keep kind of like testing around on it. And then it kind of evolves and it kind of creates havoc on the ship.
01:11:36
Speaker
And I'll say about that movie, not just because I love the, I love Rebecca Ferguson. I love Jake Gyllenhaal. I love Ryan Reynolds. You know, that really helped those performances, but it was a thriller up in this space shuttle in close quarters, like
01:11:53
Speaker
like a different kind of thriller instead of, oh man, I let go of the spaceship off, you know? I'm so sorry. I'm sorry guys, if that like scene seems like shallow or something like that. But you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know. It just, it created an element up there that I was really interested in. And you could kind of compare that to alien, which took place in a spaceship in space, but it's so different.
01:12:23
Speaker
You know, I don't know. Just, you gotta add some little spice to it for me to like it. If that makes sense. I might be very picky on that, but that's me. That's, no, that's totally fair. Have you ever seen Apollo 18? I have not. Is it good? Okay. I...
01:12:42
Speaker
I was a huge fan of that movie, honestly. And I am trying to think of like, you know, the whole thing was like in space and there was like, it was like a mystery. Maybe, maybe, I mean, maybe you would like it because you liked life. Because you were describing like a mystery thriller type thing of like, you don't know what's out there, but something's out there. I don't know. It didn't really.
01:13:13
Speaker
you know, captivate me that much, but I'm trying to like get on the level of like, yeah, I was in space. I mean, it was one of those like found footage type movies too. Yeah. Okay. That's a good one, Eric. As someone who'd seen both life in Apollo 18, I'll bridge the gap here and say, I think you would probably like that one, Hunter. It's not as good as life, but it's in that vein.
01:13:38
Speaker
Okay. Oh shit. Andy, I'm so sorry. I didn't hear that you did see life and I'm sorry. Well, I was kind of just explaining it for Eric, I guess then, you know, I'm sorry. But yeah, did you, you enjoyed life though? Yeah, I enjoyed, I enjoyed life. I thought it was a decent movie. Good. Okay. I've been trying to find a space movie that I think you'd like. Okay. I've only found one that I'm going to ask you. Have you seen arrival? Ha ha ha.
01:14:26
Speaker
Yeah Everybody's watching this movie. I've never even
Genre Preferences and Storytelling
01:14:31
Speaker
heard of it. So I'm jealous That's one of the I might be in my top 10 list of like movies I could choose to watch again for the first time that would be in there
01:14:35
Speaker
it's Denis.
01:14:40
Speaker
I think so too, Andy. I think so too. And that's why I'm finding Denis Villeneuve, not even with this doing stuff. I love a bunch of his movies. I just haven't seen one of his movies, but God, the rest? Man, that guy is just shot for shot. And I love his stuff and arrival. Yeah, I agree, man. Can we watch it for the first time together in another life? Is it about aliens?
01:15:11
Speaker
course it is yes it's always about aliens but it's not up in space I think that one's actually unlike Montana so yeah I think so okay all right yeah it's in the middle of a field for most movie but it's it's actually really interesting it's a slow burn though it's a slow burn but it really it drives you anyways and
01:15:37
Speaker
Nell can't really tolerate a bunch of slow burn stuff. And she enjoyed that. So, and God, the theme running through it guys. Well, Andy would know the, the orchestra piece. Can't ever remember the name of the piece, but the main piece in it, and it's also in Shutter Island. Oh, yes. The violin. Uh, uh.
01:16:08
Speaker
Yeah, it's not going to come to me on top of my head, but yeah, I know what you mean. Oh, it just adds to it. Yeah. Yeah. That was, yeah, that was mine. Sorry guys that I kind of went long on that. I'm glad we kind of got down to it though and really like dove.
01:16:26
Speaker
It's like a sensing session for us to like dig down to our, our desires and our hates. Yeah. Yeah. Like maybe some other people see themselves in it. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. So it was good. What's your worst genre? People send us a message. Yeah, please.
01:16:47
Speaker
Cause like there's a lot of genres out there. It's hard to just say I hate that one, right? In that category. Yeah. You know, Eric, what are you going to wrap us out with, with your last one? All right. So I'm going to say that I don't like, there's not a whole lot of genres that I don't like, but I'm going to go back to the romance dramas.
01:17:16
Speaker
You want to say? I'm going to say Silver Lining's playbook is the one that's that I like out of that one. Way to go, Eric. Way to go. Thank you. Maybe it's Jennifer Lawrence. Maybe maybe she just carries that shit in both of these films. But she's just the one that does it for you. Yeah, I don't know. But I also like her.
01:17:41
Speaker
Does she bring out some? Well, it does. Scarlett Johansson, but she's not like visible. So like, I don't know. Does she bring out some like heart eyes from you, like Tom and Jerry type shit, like those cartoon heart eyes? Probably. Yeah. No, I feel like that's happening for you. It's just like every time she's on screen, like. Oh, you know.
01:18:10
Speaker
You know what I mean, dawg? I hope Courtney's around. I hope Courtney's around. He's not, thank god. They really love you. Okay, anyway, Silver Linings. Yeah, Silver Linings Playbook. Yeah, I really enjoy this one.
01:18:32
Speaker
Yeah, I guess it's funny in a lot of moments, honestly, because the main character played by Bradley Cooper, he's just like really random and straightforward with everything. And I think that's that's kind of funny. What he has, I think he has some sort of mental condition. I forget what it is. But
01:19:02
Speaker
Yeah, it's like him and he has to learn to deal with it. And, uh, so does his dad has his dad played by, uh, Robert D Gennaro didn't Robert De Niro, Robert De Gennaro, Robert De Niro.
01:19:19
Speaker
Yeah, he also has like, uh, I think, uh, OCD he has to deal with and I dunno, I, maybe it's the, the mental illness stuff that like makes me like it so much, but like, I, I really like it.
01:19:38
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. The mental health aspects like definitely add to the story and really throw kind of a spanner in the works. Yeah. And I think, I want to say Bradley Cooper's character has bi, I think he's bipolar. Bipolar. Yeah. I think you're right. I want to say or something like that. And you know, then you take Jennifer Lawrence's character and I don't even think she, no, she doesn't have a mental illness, but wasn't her, her husband passed away, right? Yeah.
01:20:07
Speaker
It recently, and she's now a widow and she's kind of depressed and kind of just up and down. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Just really added to it. Yeah. Yeah. They were super rude to each other at first, but then they started liking each other. Oh, they were. Yeah. It's just a great story on how that worked out. It's a love story for the ages. Yeah.
01:20:32
Speaker
No, I really enjoyed that movie too. I'm glad you brought that one up. And I feel like you really like those special type of romance dramas. I do. You know, where Passengers had that sci-fi aspect to it and Silver Line's playbook, it's really not a traditional love story at all. I think you enjoy when it's kind of
01:21:02
Speaker
I can't come up with anything other than spice unorthodox. Maybe, you know, yeah, there we go. There we go. That's a good word too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I think that would be a good way to put it. I think, uh, you know, the way it's done in the movies is kind of unrealistic to me. So it's like, I, that's why I can't really like relate to it because like, you know, I mean, sometimes.
01:21:30
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know why I don't, but I just never really believed in it. So that's probably why I don't like it. Okay. All right. That's fair. And that's maybe a little bit of a, what Andy over there is feeling too, but yeah, no, I totally understand. And I don't like when I kind of went on my spiel about the romance films, I don't.
01:21:56
Speaker
feel all of it and I don't, or I should say, I don't relate to all of it. I don't. You don't have to if you enjoy it either, but I'm just saying, that's why I like, that's like, it's like one of those things is like when, like sometimes when an action movie gets a little too cheesy,
01:22:18
Speaker
It's like, ah, all right. But, you know, it happens all the time. You know, there's actually a lot of movies that I watch that I like. Maybe that's not a good example to where that happens. And I'm like, you know, nah. But no, I got to explain it. Maybe it's like my thing with.
01:22:40
Speaker
Rom drums is the same with your, you know, space movies. Like I haven't really figured out like why I don't really like it. I just don't. Yeah. Yeah. No, very fair. God, we're getting some like therapy about movies in here. Like what we like, what we don't like. And, oh man. I'm trying. I'm trying my best here. I'm really grateful for you guys. That was a good one though, Eric. Yeah. Thank you.
Comedy Films and Evolution
01:23:11
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to wrap us out with another category we haven't really touched yet, but comedies. And with a caveat that it's mostly again, post adult stuff, like my animation things, I think I liked a lot more comedies. We had an offline conversation about this, but like, uh, I think early 2000s had a lot of really good comedies. 90s had a lot of really good comedy.
01:23:41
Speaker
Not a lot of stuff nowadays that really scratches that itch, I guess. But one that I watched recently, The Ballad of Buster's Krugs. I think this one's on Netflix still. This one's a Coen Brothers film. Was it a Netflix original? I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm just wondering. Yeah, it was. I think you might be right. Yeah. Yep. OK. Yeah, it was probably permanently Netflix.
01:24:11
Speaker
okay you go ahead yeah this is a compilation of like two and a half hours of mini episodes mini stories there's like eight different stories i think six or yeah six six stories and they're not all comedies but there's a lot of comedic elements that run through them and some are funnier than others some are overall better than others but uh
01:24:38
Speaker
This movie is very funny. I was going to touch on Palm Springs as my comedy, but I think that's one that will probably end up having our own episode on one day. Just because that's a great movie. Oh, we got it. I don't think Battle Buster Scruggs gets enough love even from people who enjoy Coen Brothers films. It's all stuff like No Country for Old Men, like you talked about for your Westerns and stuff. And Fargo.
01:25:08
Speaker
Yeah, and this one just kind of gets overlooked in their repertoire. I get you. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, no. Andy actually like funny that you bring up comedies and that there was a lot of gems back a little ways, you know, in
01:25:29
Speaker
the 90s, 2000s that we love and we can watch over and over again because they're so good and you can't stop laughing. There's also that conversation to have about how comedy is nowadays and who it will kind of tick off, rub the wrong way, who it won't.
01:25:57
Speaker
Yeah, it's very tough. It's a very thin line. I understand. I do understand. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna fault comedians. I'm not gonna fault people for how they feel. And I won't really get into that because it's yeah, it's it's a very, very tough topic to talk about. And if we're on a social issue, political
01:26:25
Speaker
type podcast maybe, you know, but this is movies. So, you know, I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other, but very interesting that you bring that up because I thought about that for my genres for this topic episode because there aren't a lot right now.
01:26:52
Speaker
like for me, comedies that I can find that are gems for me that I will watch forever and ever. But at the same time, I thought, okay, but I still do cherish those back then. And a couple here and there. So I didn't think that could be one of my genres, because I have enjoyed it. I've enjoyed it before. You know, and I hope, I hope that it can
01:27:22
Speaker
thrive again, really, like I have hope for it. So, but like, it's very interesting that you brought that up. And I just wanted to say that, you know, like I was almost in line with you for bringing that up, but ballad of Busker Scruggs. I, I'm ready. I'm ready to watch.
01:27:44
Speaker
Yeah, I think you'll like it. And if you don't, there's, there's five more episodes in it. So, or not like episodes, but there's six different vignettes. So if you don't like, probably one that you will like. So, Oh yeah. And I like those like little short story things, like the kind of, uh, a movie that has multiple parts to it and they kind of like link up. Yep. Is it kind of like that?
01:28:10
Speaker
There's some common themes, and I think there's one or two characters that do occur in multiple. But for the most part, they're separate. Oh, OK. OK. But no, I still might enjoy. All right. Awesome. I'll check that out. Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. So obviously, there were some categories we touched on more than others. For the most part, it's really hard to actually pick categories that you
01:28:40
Speaker
Like don't necessarily like and I think we all feel that way here just because Movies are so diverse and I love that that even though we don't necessarily like a certain genre You can still find like gems and each in every genre out there and sub genre. I think this was a good conversation for us to see what we need to watch into more and develop more strengths into And good therapy Yes, always good therapy.
Mental Health and Media
01:29:09
Speaker
Yes
01:29:10
Speaker
Yes. Speaking of good therapy. What, Eric? What a plug. You are sponsoring, Eric. Better help. They missed a few episodes since Hellblade, but they're back.
01:29:34
Speaker
It's not funny. Mental health is not funny, guys. It's serious. If you need help, get help. Get some help. Okay. This is a serious subject. I am... What is the word? It starts with an F. Facetious. I'm being facetious, all right? But yes.
01:29:59
Speaker
I'm just I'm laughing because like I keep like I don't know why I keep plugging in like better help They're not paying me to say this or anything. But like man
01:30:10
Speaker
Every time we want to talk about mental health, I'm like, yeah, get better help, man. We had like a string of like four or five episodes near a start where we just talked about mental health for a while. Yeah. Really? We did. That's why they're kind of like a not official, official sponsor.
01:30:31
Speaker
Okay. I would love to talk more about mental health because honestly, like I was interested in being a mental health counselor until I was like, okay, I can't go through four years of school with these classes. You know, I'm not a school guy. So like, and I'm okay with just giving advice to my close ones that I'm good with that.
01:30:55
Speaker
And I'm sure it's very taxing. Thank you for every mental health counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist. Oh, man. You're the real one. Seriously. That's, it's tough. Yes. Yeah. As always on the, on the, on the serious notes, um, make sure you wear the suicide hotline is now 9 8 8. And, uh, if you need help, get help. Yes. Depression. Not cool, man.
01:31:25
Speaker
No, it's tough. Yeah. Not cool. Now, where's my car, man? Yeah. And hey, hey, I will throw it out there. I am on anxiety meds.
01:31:40
Speaker
So I understand everybody, I do. I used to, yeah, I used to be on those too. Any depressants too. I don't know if going off of them was a good idea, but like, hey man, we're figuring it out out here. We're just, we're vibing. Eric, I'm worried about you, but yeah, okay.
Film Reviews: Killers of the Flower Moon and Absencia
01:32:01
Speaker
I am too, a little bit, honestly. Just kidding, I'm just kidding. No, we're good, we're good, we're all good.
01:32:09
Speaker
Hey guys, is our next episode gonna be... during Eric's birthday, right? Yes. It's gonna be my bee day. Right, Andy?
01:32:19
Speaker
Our next one is Eric's back because it's Eric's birthday month and it just worked out like that. Uh, it will release the Monday before his birthday or yeah. Yeah. The Monday before. Okay. Just for just letting you guys in on a preview that we're going to do one during Eric's birthday weekend too.
01:32:44
Speaker
Just saying. Yeah. Yeah. We may have a special Oscar episodes. It'll be one for every week in March. Mm-hmm. Surprise. You guys are welcome. You got more content. Mm-hmm. So, yeah. What have you guys been watching lately? Lately, I've seen a little film called Killers of the Flower Moon.
01:33:10
Speaker
I am sure nobody's heard of it ever. I've heard that's a big one. It's probably a diamond in the rough, honestly. I think they're like in the indie film category for Oscars. Yeah. Yeah. And no, it's very like it's very not well known actors in it in a very little known director directing it. Somebody called Martin Scorsese.
01:33:36
Speaker
or Scorsese, as I don't know how it's actually, yeah, see, I told you. But my boy Leo is in it, and another boy Jesse Plemons, and another boy Robert De Niro, and a new gal, Lily Gladstone, that I hope is in a lot more things to come.
01:34:01
Speaker
But I've been excited about this movie ever since it came out in theaters or that it was even announced. Unlike Leo and Robert are partnering with Martin Scorsese again. Let's go. It's been a few years, yeah. It has. And God, Leo and De Niro weren't in any Scorsese films together. Where? Am I wrong?
01:34:29
Speaker
No, they actually might have alternated. They weren't. No, no near wasn't in departed. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. So like, you know, first film being together and wow. Wow. Like amazing one to be in together for the first time. Just in, like we talked about during this episode, it's a Western, but guys, I really enjoyed it.
01:34:51
Speaker
And once I learned about the plot and that it was based off a true story, and it was dealing with the Native American Osage tribe, really interested me. And I also heard that it was a very, very good novel. So I was super excited about it. And
01:35:14
Speaker
I don't want to give away much, but just, I don't know. It, it's, there's not a lot of action in the movie. I will say that. Not a lot of a bing, bang, boom, but wow, performances, the conversations, the plot.
01:35:33
Speaker
they carry, they carry a lot. And it's wow. Yeah, I don't know what I would have changed about the movie, honestly. So Scorsese, Robert, Leo, Lily, everybody, Jesse, good job.
01:35:51
Speaker
watch that one and I can't recommend it more. It's on Apple TV plus for free now. Finally, we're, my wife and I were kind of waiting for it because it is a long movie guys. I got her warn you, you know, it's, it's a long movie, but really like I, I don't, my wife, like I said, she doesn't do well with slow burns or long movies in general.
01:36:17
Speaker
But she was locked in. She wanted to keep watching it. So can't say more good things about it. And just last night, I finally finished absentia. And it is one of the first movies from Mike Flanagan, my boy, that you guys have probably heard me talk about before on the podcast.
01:36:38
Speaker
But yeah, one of his early films and I did recognize one of the actresses in it that played one of the main sisters. And it's a very interesting movie, the plot, like I'll just sum it up real quick and not give away much. But so there's two sisters, the one sister that does not have a house, not a place to live. She was a drug addict and trying to get her shit together, she moves in with
01:37:08
Speaker
her sister that has had her husband missing for seven years. And they can't find a trace of him, like the cops, nothing. So they're about to declare him dead in a censure, it's called. It's like kind of just a term where we don't know where they are.
01:37:32
Speaker
But they're probably presumed dead. Cast away. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. There we go. Yeah. Yeah. Frickin. Yeah. What's it? No. Something Nolan. What? That's his last name though. Chuck. Chuck. Chuck. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. I was just thinking about Chuck. Oh, poor Chuck. But. Chuck Nolan. Yeah. Chuck Nolan.
01:37:57
Speaker
But yeah, the husband has been missing for seven years and there's a mysterious tunnel under a highway that the one sister that is trying to put her shit together that moves in with the sister that is married to that missing man, she kind of notices and yeah, some weird shit starts to go down.
01:38:23
Speaker
Okay, so I'm going to be completely honest. I haven't been watching very many movies lately.
TV Series and Documentaries
01:38:30
Speaker
I've been watching a show called Umbrella Academy. Yeah. And I've been really enjoying it so far. We're on season three and we're like halfway through it, halfway through season three.
01:38:46
Speaker
Yeah, it's a lot of time travel and like, it's very interesting things, a lot of interesting theories about that.
01:38:55
Speaker
Okay. Interesting characters too. You guys got a fishbowl for a head. And I think that's like why I clicked on it in the first place. Cause like I saw a picture of a guy with a fishbowl for a head and I'm like, okay, this has got to be good. This is weird as shit. I'm in it. Exactly. It was like appealingly odd. And I'm like, hell yeah, let's do it. That's amazing. I was definitely getting what I was expecting. All right. Have you seen that one yet Hunter?
01:39:24
Speaker
No, Andy, funny thing though, when you brought it up, I remember when we worked together years and years ago, it seems like that you brought it up to me and that you told me to watch it. Haven't watched it. I feel like I started the first episode and then I got caught up doing something.
01:39:46
Speaker
and just never return to it. I'm sorry, I'm just kind of like that person that totally forgets, but I'm gonna hop back on for you guys, of course. Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what I did the first time around when I saw it. I watched the first episode and nothing was really latching onto me, really, I guess.
01:40:08
Speaker
for the first half of the episode and then I never got back to it for a while. And then I started watching it recently and then actually getting into it and the first episode, I'm not gonna lie, it was all a lot of introducing things. I don't know. And then getting into it, the first later episodes, you actually get hooked. That's where you just have to give it a chance. That's all I'm saying.
01:40:35
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. In August. So you have enough time to, uh, binge and catch up. Yeah. Sweet. All right. Yeah. I'll do it guys. Okay. And Andy, what you got? Awesome. Uh, so I got a pick and Eric, tell me if you recommended this one. If you did, I have a backup. Okay. So free solo 2018. Not at all.
01:41:01
Speaker
Okay. I remember, I remember you recommend a hiking one last time. I couldn't remember if it was just Everest or if there's another one, but it was just Everest. Yeah. But into this, I guess this movie isn't hiking. Uh, this is a free climbing and are free soloing as it's called. And been into this binge of watching these dangerous stunt movies. And this follows this guy. It's kind of a.
01:41:29
Speaker
more documentary than like just a standard film. This guy, Alex Honnold, who wants to free solo El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. And it's like 1,800 meters up or something crazy like that. It's some crazy height. It's like just this huge straight rock wall. And this is by directors Jimmy Chin and his wife Elizabeth.
01:41:58
Speaker
and they did like the new Nyad movie that we'll talk about during the Oscar and they do really good this movie gets very in-depth to the behind the scenes of this guy's motives and he's pretty much has reasons for doing such crazy pretty much things they're guaranteed to get you killed eventually
01:42:21
Speaker
Uh, and for those of you that don't know, like what free soloing is basically like climbing without ropes. So you're not suspended anything. You make a slip up. You, uh, your foot falls off the little bit of rock that you have. You're dead.
01:42:39
Speaker
so it's a really harrowing movie to watch and for most of the movie it just follows his life and his accomplishments to date and then kind of last half hour or so you get to see the big thing and
01:42:58
Speaker
Everyone kind of grapples with like the morality of making a movie like that. Like, Oh, we're, we're, we're a film crew following on a guy who could very likely die while we're filming this. And we might just record him falling to his death. Jesus. It's very real. And, uh, I just, I enjoyed this one a lot. It was, it was a good watch. It's on the Hulu. Would you say it's more of like a documentary?
01:43:26
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, it's more documentary. It's like handheld cameras and stuff. OK. But like high production value, like these drones, they get all this high tech stuff. Oh, OK. Cool. Been hearing a lot about it and like a lot of good things. So I might have to check that out. It might give me too much anxiety to where my chest might pop. But.
01:43:49
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I'm ready. Dude, most of the movie's good, but that last, like, when it actually gets into the climb, it is insane. Like, I didn't think my heart could, like, tighten that much just watching a movie. Mm-hmm. And usually, like, heights don't bother me in movies, even though heights bother me a lot in real life, and got that. It's insane, just because it's like watching
01:44:18
Speaker
Like a YouTube video of someone doing the shit. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Now, because of your recommendation, Andy, I will, I will be adding it to my letterbox watch list. Honestly. Yeah. It's just, it's gripping. It's good. Free solo. Awesome.
01:44:38
Speaker
It's good like in. Yeah, as you know, Eric, I got into getting into climbing recently and it's kind of insane how far ahead some of these people are like seeing the kind of shit that Alex does in this movie, like. Like you just like what like you'll see some of the grips he does and you're like, how does the human body even do that? Yeah, right. Oh, yeah. Thanks. Yeah, I mean, they put some like was it the powder?
01:45:07
Speaker
The grip powder on them, on their hands. Yeah. Like when he's climbing, that's pretty much all he has on him. It's just a little bag of chalk. You're joking. Yeah. And then they could just work wonders with that shit. It's almost like their hands turned sticky.
01:45:24
Speaker
Yeah, it's, I dunno, this dude's just grabbing things. It's like, and you're putting his foot on like, like maybe, uh, like a thumbs length of room or something. And you're like, using all your body weight on that and pushing yourself up. And it's just crazy stuff. Yeah. Some of these free climbers though, like they can like climb something that's like 30 degrees, like upside down to it's not like mountain goats. Yeah. Yeah. Mountain goat.
01:45:56
Speaker
Yeah. So we're going to do not a hiking movie next, but we're going to do one of Eric's picks that, uh, deal a little bit with, uh, mind fuckiness. Whatever the movie was. I don't remember, but it's memento. You got a tattoo it on yourself. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Andy tattoo.
01:46:26
Speaker
Pump them full of some sleep meds. We'll tattoo them. Then he'll remember what we remember picked. Just just right. We're a memento like on every inch of my body. I'm like, yeah, like, I don't know. I was it's on the tip of my tongue, but. I don't know. Freaks that that's yours. A thousand mementos on my arm. Dude, memento is going to be all caps on your body. All right. We got this. We got this, Andy.
01:46:56
Speaker
Christopher Nolan movie. I think that's our first one we're going to cover from him. So really for that. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Right. Interesting. We've been wanting to do inception, but yeah, this might be the first. Oh, inception will be coming up. I hope it'll be coming up, but yeah, this is a lesser known Christopher Nolan. I'm sure.
01:47:17
Speaker
