Podcasting Experiences & Goals
00:01:07
Speaker
We are not strangers to podcasts, let alone movie podcasts. I am. How does it feel? or alex's Alex is. Alex, you're new. Tachi, how does it feel to to be so back?
00:01:18
Speaker
Oh, we're so back. We're so back. um Feels good. yeah I've been really excited about this and um really hoping that we're able to achieve our goals and have fun.
00:01:31
Speaker
That's what it's about. that's it. yeah No third. Alex, you're new to all of this. Yeah. how does how do you How do you feel coming into our first episode?
00:01:43
Speaker
Well, I honestly feel like um the first couple episodes I do is all going to be just like a giant like imitation of every other podcast I listen to. It's all going to be like a front and I'll finally get comfortable. So life imitates art.
00:01:54
Speaker
Yeah. You know, every ah crappy podcast I've ever been recommended, it's all it's all coming out in this mic right now. Were you ever recommended the crappy podcast of ah of ours previously?
00:02:09
Speaker
Yes. guy named Malik kept sending me the link. It was really weird. Did you ever listen to one of the episodes? I listened to clips. I would jump around sometimes. I didn't really get into podcasts, honestly, until like the last like year and a half um when work really started to suck. So, oh, I probably shouldn't have said that. This isn't a therapy session. We're here to talk movies. No, in case my boss is listening something. There's no way to trace this back to you. No, I'm really happy. um I'm really, I love generating value for the shareholders.
00:02:41
Speaker
um No, i i mean I didn't really start listening to podcasts until like the last like year and a half. like kind of Not every day, but like couple times a week, I'll throw something on. yeah um you know Besides that, I'd throw it on if I was going on a road trip, but usually that would be like ah like something about like Bigfoot or something. you know Real, not normal.
00:03:06
Speaker
so I kind of didn't publicize that a lot.
Innovative Movie Draft Concept
00:03:08
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I hope that this podcast becomes exactly that for people. Bigfoot. Because we're smart. We're smart dudes.
00:03:17
Speaker
Allegedly. We're going many great opinions on movies that everyone will agree with all of the time. and Oh, yeah. And us three, we're always going to agree. Oh yeah, we we we never disagree. You'll never disagree. just isn This will be the hub for wholesome movie opinions, news, what have you.
00:03:37
Speaker
We share the same brain. so We do. And so I thought it was fitting that for our first episode for introductions to do a draft, a draft of our favorite movies.
00:03:51
Speaker
And so what we went ahead and did, we've got eight different categories. We're going to do a little bit of a snake draft. Why'd you make that face, Alex? I thought it was six, not eight.
00:04:02
Speaker
I guess I'm bad at counting. You said you were going to wing some of your picks, though. Listen, that's what that that's what makes it interesting. I'm going to be the the wild card, you know, because I'm the new one. You don't know what I got up my sleeve.
00:04:14
Speaker
No, yeah, I can't wait to have and a new personality thrown into the mix. Eight different categories. think it's going to give a little bit of insight into the types of movies we like.
00:04:26
Speaker
And I think it's going to be a lot of fun. um As far as the rules for a draft go, not many rules for this one. We're kind of doing a big brink blanket umbrella of just our favorite movies.
00:04:39
Speaker
Only rule is no repeats. So s sequels are on the board. yeah can do same director. are We can't say the same director, but yeah you get what I'm trying to say.
00:04:51
Speaker
I don't. Okay. But let's go and do it. Cool. So I've got a wheel. We're going to go ahead and spin to see who goes first. How do you? Okay. Click to spin. It's spinning.
00:05:01
Speaker
I'm going to pay you a dollar so I can be first. Damn it. I'm first. Damn it. Audit. I'm auditing the draft. I'm spinning again to see who goes second.
00:05:15
Speaker
And it looks like Alex. Let's go. You know I'll take the turn. That's okay. Okay. So... We're familiar with drafting. I think we've all played fantasy football.
00:05:26
Speaker
So in a snake draft, first and third, we'll get two picks as we go around the horn. and So we'll go me, Alex Tachi, and then Tachi, Alex, me. Yep. Cool.
00:05:37
Speaker
Damn it. I did not want to go first. Okay. I'm ready though. I'm ready. Spotlight's on you. It is.
Draft Round 1: Directors & Scores
00:05:41
Speaker
Okay. Right. First official pick. All right. First official pick for the first official draft.
00:05:48
Speaker
For the first official podcast. And I think, oh, wait, I should say real quick what the categories are. So the eight categories we're going to be drafting. We're going to be doing favorite director, favorite horror movie, a favorite from the year you were born, your favorite soundtrack, favorite animated movie, favorite rom-com,
00:06:10
Speaker
favorite comedy and favorite franchise does that sound right yep sounds right perfect all right so i think the first the one i'm worried about i don't think a lot of us are going to have a lot of like overlap in what we're choosing but i feel like for favorite soundtrack i might like i think we might have the same answers at least like with with somebody i'm looking at you i think like we might have the same answer so i might do soundtrack first that way i can get it okay trust your gut Or not soundtrack. Sorry. Favorite score. Score.
00:06:41
Speaker
yeah have Score. Score. Not soundtrack. But I'm not going to do score. Oh my God. All that lead up for nothing. I'm sorry. Okay. I'm just going to start with the first one. What's your genre? I'm going to favorite director.
00:06:52
Speaker
Okay. And for favorite director, I'm picking the Coen brothers. ahs Okay. Yeah. Respect it. Yeah. You do love their movies. I do. I think I remember in high school watching, um,
00:07:06
Speaker
Oh my God, I'm blinking. You really love them. it Oh Brother Where Art Thou? Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Yeah. And just like, it just blew my mind. I love that movie.
00:07:17
Speaker
And if we were doing soundtrack, I could i would pick that for soundtrack too. You know, in in like two years, it's going to be really crazy to see which Odyssey movie is going to be the best. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey or Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
00:07:31
Speaker
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou set a high standard. It is tough to beat. I mean, unless Odysseus is singing Man of Constant Sorrow, I think I know which one. Yeah, yeah if yeah if there is if there's no musical number in and Nolan's The Odyssey, consider it a wash for me.
00:07:46
Speaker
But that is my first pick. All right. what are your What are your top three Coen brothers? Like your Mount Rushmore almost? Mount Rushmore. It'd be, oh brother, where art thou?
00:07:58
Speaker
Oh my God, that is actually hard to pick. im ah I'll get back to you on that one. I thought one of them would be easy for you. Inside Llewyn Davis? Yes, but the third is where I'm stuffed. The third one's the tough one. that's Yeah, the third one's the tough one. we about it Because then you get to like, do you count...
00:08:16
Speaker
Like if only one of them directed it do you still count it as like a, co like I consider them as just like cohesive. So like they're both directors for Inside Lou and Davis, but they both got their own, their own solo ah directing movies as well. So we can, ah we can, we can put a pin in that topic until like six episodes from now.
00:08:33
Speaker
Six episodes from now. Yeah. We really dive in then. We will reveal my third favorite Cohen of this movie. Stay tuned, everybody. In the outro, you're going to have to wait. The end seasons.
00:08:46
Speaker
All right. That's my first pick.
Draft Round 2: Animation & Franchises
00:08:48
Speaker
So we to Alex. So I am actually going to lock in my best film score because I'm terrified someone's going to pick it. And frankly, there is nothing that's even close to being second in terms of how much I love it and how important it is to the Alex canon.
00:09:04
Speaker
um So with that, the second pick in the Lost in the Frame draft. is going for soundtrack Tron Legacy. yeah Dude.
00:09:16
Speaker
good take Good pick. Good pick. um That one will, as much as I love like you know Interstellar and Spirited Away's soundtrack and the good, the bad, and the ugly, any of the iconic scores, yeah there's been some absolutely incredible ones.
00:09:32
Speaker
None of them have... fundamentally shaped um my music taste as much as Tron Legacies did when it came out. I was in eighth grade, I think, when that soundtrack got released. And um I remember watching the movie for the first time in the opening scene where it's like,
00:09:52
Speaker
you know Jeff Bridges is narrating and it's like the the, um you know, the shot over Seattle. The track is called The Grid. If anyone wants to go listen to it right now, um when that part hits and you'll know the one that I'm talking about, like altered my brain chemistry and it was irreversible.
00:10:09
Speaker
Daft Punk is still my favorite artist to this day. um And so like whenever whenever anyone asks me, um you know, what's your favorite movie soundtrack? It's just instantly that one and the fact that it did not win best original soundtrack at the grammy or at at the oscars sorry not the grammys well grammys as well um is probably one of the biggest travesties in the history of both those awards and i'll die on that hill who was it uh who was it going against that year for a soundtrack good questions that was 2011 oscars best original score chat we're pulling this up right now yeah i i'm super curious
00:10:48
Speaker
Tachi, you can you can make your pick while i while I figured this out for the people. OK, first pick will be OK, so, oh, man. and
Draft Round 3: Rom-Coms & Emotional Ties
00:11:02
Speaker
You know, going into this, I was like, oh, this gonna be super easy.
00:11:05
Speaker
Yeah, I I'm scared of this being taken, so I'm just going to go ahead and call my franchise. Okay. And I'm going with Lord of the Rings.
00:11:16
Speaker
Okay. Good pick. It is pretty much almost, you know, a perfect trilogy. Each movie in itself is almost perfect.
00:11:27
Speaker
Um, really no glaring flaws, really fundamental to my childhood and is just, just contains some of the best movies of all time. Yeah. And it holds up so well against time.
00:11:41
Speaker
No notes. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's just ban aftered banger after banger after banger. Yeah. Like having a favorite between the three, you just, you just can't go wrong. That's also really hard to pick. I remember watching, I don't remember if it was for my birthday or your birthday. i think it was mine. It was your birthday. Yeah. And you came over and we watched all three directors cut Lord of the Rings in a row.
00:12:03
Speaker
That was awesome. So good. How do you feel about The Hobbit? Uh, I've seen those movies one time each. Yeah. I, I know that it was plagued by production issues, so I can't really be too harsh, but they're not my favorite, but that's okay.
00:12:19
Speaker
That's okay. We still have Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Good fall back. Do you count that as the same franchise or do you like split it in your head? Like the Hobbit's not the Lord the Rings. I mean, we, we all know it is, but like,
00:12:31
Speaker
I split it in my head. ice Yeah, I split it. If someone's talking about the Lord of the Rings, like I don't think the Hobbit. It's not like ah sound like Star Wars prequels versus sequels. it's Exactly.
00:12:45
Speaker
It's like a whole other thing. Yeah, they're their theyre their own entities. Alex, did you find it? I did find it. um So... I'm not going to walk back my travesty comment, but people are going to argue with me about it because it was actually a pretty good year for soundtracks.
00:13:02
Speaker
It was 2011. It was 2010. Okay. okay i was wrong. So you're not going to hear that many times. So it's a good time that you hear it in the first episode. Show my humility.
00:13:14
Speaker
Yeah. But 2010 King's Speech. but twenty ten was the king's speech Inception, How to Train Your Dragon, 127 Hours, and the winner was The Social Network.
00:13:28
Speaker
Wow. so Against Inception and How to Train Your Dragon is actually... crazy. That's actually a a nuts category that year. It's... it's Probably the most impressive one actually scrolling through like the years around it, because the one below is ah the artist Adventures of Tintin, Hugo, Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy and War Horse. And I cannot.
00:13:55
Speaker
you know This isn't to say that, you know, those were bad scores, but I couldn't tell any of them out of a lineup. So since I'm curious, how do you feel with the social network winning that year?
00:14:07
Speaker
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Daft Punk is not returning for the Tron sequel to do the score, but they are. So um you kind of hit the nail on the head when we were talking about this off camera. It's like if you're going to have someone do it and it's not Daft Punk, like it would be them. And I'm going to have to agree with you there. a because like for anyone who isn't like obsessed about Daft Punk,
00:14:33
Speaker
One of their schticks is they've never kind of done the same thing twice. So even though this second Tron movie was happening like in production for a while, it seemed really far-fetched that they would do a second soundtrack.
00:14:47
Speaker
um And also they were tired. so And they were like, done. done But... The yeah I don't think there's someone better that could do it, um because the thing with Tron is, you know, what really made the soundtrack was I think it was such a great accompaniment to the insane like techno visuals that were on the screen. Mm hmm. I think like the best composer right now is like Hans Zimmer.
00:15:14
Speaker
But I don't think he would do as good of a job with kind of like that electronic music as Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross would. Hans Zimmer did help Daft Punk. He did do the the orchestrals.
00:15:28
Speaker
for oh i didn't know that for the tron legacy one yeah very cool um so you know it feels a little like weird saying like oh he wouldn't be good for it because he yeah you know kind of did it but um i'm i'm really excited i liked what i heard from the the teaser trailer they released so yeah i'm really interested to to hear the full thing and for the listeners real quick who are those two guys from Nine Inch Nails.
00:15:53
Speaker
Rock. Yeah. what what a crazy What a crazy pivot. Tachi, we're back to you. Yes. Your pick again. For the fourth pick, my second pick, I'm going to go with animated movie.
00:16:08
Speaker
And my choice from role is Spider-Man Across Spider-Verse. Good pick. The number two. Yeah. Number two in that series. Are they ever going to release the third one?
00:16:23
Speaker
We'll see. Remember at the end when it was like, this is coming out Yeah. next year And they hadn't even started. um Yeah, no, that was just one of the very few movies.
00:16:36
Speaker
And I think the only animated movie. No, that's not true. One of the few movies in my life that I've watched that I just, I really did not want it to end. I was devastated when the credits started rolling.
00:16:49
Speaker
I just, I needed more. i had to have more. it just, it excels in so many facets and it's just beautiful to look at. It was so good.
00:17:00
Speaker
It was such a short two hours and 50 minutes. It was, it really, really was. Um, Yeah, one of my favorite movies of all time. That's a great pick.
00:17:11
Speaker
They did just release like some teasers. I think it was like at CinemaCon or something like a week a week or two ago. um
Anticipation for Future Projects
00:17:18
Speaker
What's the third one called? Beyond the Spider-Verse? Beyond, yeah. Yeah, they released like a few like still images of it. um But I think it was 2027...
00:17:27
Speaker
yeah i think so release date which like sucks it's so far away but whenever they announced like immediately after the second one that the third was coming next summer like and knowing the work that the animators through i was like there absolutely no way this is coming out in a year and i don't think anyone believed it and sure enough i don't know why they actually put that on there i don't know why they tried like it it's okay we can wait it'll be worth it i think everyone will will be waiting in anticipation what's What's going to come out first, the Batman Part 2 or Beyond the Spider-Verse? Bro, I don't know.
00:18:02
Speaker
I'm scared the Batman Part 2 is going to get canceled because I just saw Disgusting Film tweet right before this that Robert Pattinson is being eyed for a role in Dune 3. Whoa.
00:18:14
Speaker
I can do both. He could do both. He could. He should do both. He should do both. It just, it made me very excited because that's going to be sick to see him in Dune. But it also, i had thought like in the background, Batman.
00:18:27
Speaker
And he and ah Timothy have acted together in the King. they're great the king is the only shalladoo movie i have not seen i watched it and my immediate reaction was that it was just fine uh-huh but i think um as time has progressed i i appreciate it more i'll have to check i think it's solid movie but anyways alex your next pick yeah i'm gonna lock in my franchise because this was another one i was scared of getting taken i'm scared you might take my franchise are you gonna try and take star wars
00:19:00
Speaker
No, because I'm taking Star Wars. OK.
00:19:04
Speaker
It's ah we got May the 4th coming up. Yes. so I'm not really going to dive that deep into it because I can talk for probably a good two hours and 40 minutes by myself um about Star Wars. But I love Star Wars.
00:19:17
Speaker
Always have. And as hard as Disney tries, always will. um And I'm excited to go see Revenge of the Sith in theaters this month. Dude, I would love. Yeah, i I definitely need to be there.
00:19:30
Speaker
Have you seen Andor? Yeah. I have not. have not. So good. i is so good. Season two comes out, I think, April 22nd. So the thing that I love about Andor, and this is what I think makes it such a great Star Wars TV show, is it's if you took away all the Star Wars elements, it's still be a great TV show. yeah You said that in like 1970s, like Washington, D.C. and made like a Cold War spy thriller would be sick. It's it'd be so sick.
00:19:59
Speaker
But it's in so it's Star Wars. And so it's just. It's awesome, but it's ah yeah, I'll I'll I'll save all my Star Wars takes for the Star Wars episode. Good stuff. Good stuff.
00:20:11
Speaker
All right. Back to me for my first pick of two. I think I'm going to go favorite animated movie and I'm going to go with surfs up.
00:20:26
Speaker
Excuse me. What was that reaction? I knew you love Surf's Up. Surf's Up is is such a good movie. Favorite though? like All time favorite? There's a lot of favorites. I'm looking at the list and I'm like, okay, what do I want to pick?
00:20:41
Speaker
and I'm thinking like this is our first episode. These are like, this is kind of the introduction to us. Like what are we about? Like the fundamental, like what's a little bit fundamental? And Surf's Up, I feel, just kind of encapsulates that for me.
00:20:54
Speaker
He stepped on me. i think like I think the comedy still his. I watched it like maybe a couple
Draft Round 4: Horror & Personal Favorites
00:21:00
Speaker
months ago. It it does still his. It's actually, it it has aged so well. It's aged very well.
00:21:06
Speaker
And it's just, it just feels, it feels, especially looking at a lot of like more recent animated movies that we have today. Like it just feels like it's in its own special little place between just like, like blurring, like almost a reality and just like getting lost in the entire world. And I just think it executes it very well.
00:21:23
Speaker
And so I'm going surf sub. i I'll talk, we could, we could talk about our alternative picks once we, once we wrap up. Cause I got a few. So I would love to hear you guys just too, but that's what I got right now.
00:21:35
Speaker
um Okay, so that was animated. Franchise. I'm going franchise. Okay. And I'm picking Alien. oh Oh.
00:21:47
Speaker
This is a bit newer to me because I saw the Alien movies for the first time like mid to late last year. And just binged them all. And I think I've ran through it two or three times by now.
00:22:01
Speaker
They're... I don't know. They are just... They are something special. Everyone knows that. Everyone's known that since Alien came out in what, like the 80s? and I'm very behind on the train, but I get the hype.
00:22:14
Speaker
It's a lot of fun. I'm very excited for the Alien series coming on Hulu soon. I think it's it's flawed. It's not perfect, but I love it. And Prometheus slaps.
00:22:27
Speaker
Prometheus was so overhated. it was so overhated. All I knew about Prometheus before I watched it was how much people hated it. And my first thought when the credits rolled was, huh?
00:22:39
Speaker
This was perfect.
00:22:43
Speaker
So, yeah I'm going Alien. I watched the first Alien for the first time um maybe a year or two ago, and I was genuinely shocked by just how good it is and how it's, like, stood the test of time.
00:22:56
Speaker
You know, obviously they didn't have the best, you know, effects or whatever, but I don't know. they They just found a way to... I mean, I'd say they did. mean, you got to remember this was the 80. It was excellent.
00:23:08
Speaker
Yeah. Like I've got, I've got the, uh, like the DVD box set. So it's got a lot of behind the scenes. I love watching the behind the scenes of alien one. Like there's just so much like attention to detail and the craft that you just like, don't see yeah nowadays. And that was like a lot of like the problems that people had with Romulus more recently.
00:23:24
Speaker
Um, So I think it's just a like a good time capsule to see like how far you could extend filmmaking. and And I think Ridley Scott is at the top of his game and and when he does that. Yeah.
00:23:36
Speaker
Yeah. When they were like the set design, when they were exploring um the alien ship or whatever it was. Yeah. Amazing. It was so good. Uh huh. Ridley Scott, like early Ridley Scott was, he was up there with any other great director.
00:23:51
Speaker
ah agree. I mean, you want to talk about like a generational run that like Francis Ford Coppola had Ridley Scott also had a generational run. Um, And he, uh, feel like he's a little overlooked because of recent output.
00:24:07
Speaker
But even then, i mean, I'll still go to bat for him every single time. did not like Napoleon, but anyways. All right. Back to Alex. All right. I've done two, uh, Disney adjacent, um,
00:24:22
Speaker
pick so gonna go wild here i'm gonna go left field it's scared to you first yes um i uh i'm doing bet favorite director okay and uh i'm picking ah sergio leone Okay. the Known for Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
00:24:44
Speaker
Fistful of Dollars, Once Upon a Time in the West. Generational runs almost every single movie of his slaps. I haven't seen one, and that is The Colossus of Rhodes, which was ah like a, what were they called? Sword and Sand flick.
00:25:00
Speaker
You know, those ancient ancient, yeah, ancient Rome, ancient yeah Greece, uh, You know, movies that they would make like in like the 50s and It's the only one of his that I haven't seen.
00:25:12
Speaker
But I mean, he did lift a fistful of dollars straight from Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. Mm hmm. But, I mean, he basically put the spaghetti Western genre on the map and influenced, um you know, the image and iconography of the Wild West basically to to give us the view of it, ah you know, what we have today, give us that view.
00:25:36
Speaker
And, um you know, but people but people obviously know him for like the really famous Clint Eastwood ones, but Once Upon a Time in the West is also an absolutely incredible movie. His work that he did with Ennio Morricone was always just incredible.
00:25:51
Speaker
The best pairings between you know director and composer and even his mob movie that he made Once Upon a Time in America with ah Robert De Niro. Still an incredible movie, which actually has a ah funny story about its distribution because it got completely butchered.
00:26:10
Speaker
By um the studio when it was released in America. Yeah. It's like a three and a half hour movie and they cut it down to like 130 minutes or something. Oh, geez. Yeah.
00:26:21
Speaker
And so when it came out, everybody hated it because it didn't make any sense, which is fair considering like 60% of it was gone. Yeah.
00:26:32
Speaker
But yeah, that's my pick. He ah just in terms of like directors where it's just been like, hit, you know, hit for hit. It's, there wasn't a guy who, uh, who I think stands close to him in my opinion. Um, taken a little too soon because, uh, the most interesting sounding movie that he had in his, in his pocket was the one he was working on when he died. and So, you know, one day maybe we'll see it something like that, but, uh,
00:26:58
Speaker
Yeah, you're you're very big on on Westerns, and I'm sad to say that Westerns is a huge blind spot for me. so i'm not So I'm not familiar with his work. So yeah, I'm definitely open to to checking some of his stuff out.
00:27:11
Speaker
What was the tie to Disney? You prefaced that with Disney, right? No, I was saying my first two were tied to Disney. So I was like, I'm going to go way out of left field. I can't I can't have the people thinking im mainstream. Gotta have them thinking I'm the wild card. Remember the wild card?
00:27:27
Speaker
Never fear people. I am very mainstream. It's OK. All right. So my third pick in the second round is I wait. So now that Star Wars has been picked, I cannot pick like any movie from that series.
00:27:44
Speaker
It doesn't really matter, actually. But OK, I'd say so. Yeah. OK, that's fine's fine. That's fine. I'll avoid that. Then I will go with has romcom been taken yet?
00:27:55
Speaker
No. Okay, so I'm kind of bending the rules a little bit. It's not really early 2000s. and we're not we Yeah, we I think we we voted that we're not doing early. It doesn't need to be early 2000s. We just did. We're just doing rom-com.
00:28:08
Speaker
It's also not really rom-com either. There are romantic aspects. There are some comedic aspects, but my favorite rom-com-ish movie ever is About Time.
00:28:20
Speaker
oh Nice. I, that movie like rewired my brain chemistry. It hit me so hard. It was, I mean, the writing was, come on.
00:28:32
Speaker
It was so good. And the, the way that they structured the story, i don't know. I, even if it was obvious building up to, you know, the big reveal. I just, I didn't see it coming.
00:28:43
Speaker
And I love that. That's part of the story. It makes it so dynamic and interesting. I just, I love that movie. I really, really love it. That's a great pick. I think you, I believe you had recommended that to me a few years ago.
00:28:57
Speaker
is Is that or the other way? Yeah. yeah Yeah. Whoever, whoever did what kudos. Yep. That's a great, that's a great movie. I was ah sick last week and I watched it for the first time. and Yeah.
00:29:08
Speaker
Got you, dude. Stop balling. Yeah. That was tough. That was tough. No, that's a, that's a, real that's a, that's a solid pick for sure. Well, thank you.
00:29:18
Speaker
Um, all right. So I'm on the turn again. My fourth pick is,
00:29:26
Speaker
I'm going to go with horror. Horror has kind of been taken, but I'm going to go with the only horror movie I've ever enjoyed because i hate horror. I hate being scared. You're going to hate October.
00:29:37
Speaker
We're definitely doing a horror themed month. shit We might even do one in July. o Yeah. Okay. We'll talk about that later. Okay, so my pick for horror movie is Hereditary.
00:29:50
Speaker
You probably saw that one coming. um that was Sorry, Alex. um Yeah, genuinely the only horror movie I have enjoyed, like start to finish. I was so terrified, especially the final sequence was like...
00:30:04
Speaker
Please stop. Like, please end this movie. i I don't want to watch anymore. But also, I do want to keep watching. I very much enjoyed getting to show you that movie. Yeah. That... I still... oh my god.
00:30:16
Speaker
Just the other night, I was brushing my teeth, but the bathroom was dark. And in the mirror, I can see like the bedroom. And I just keep imagining some woman climbing on my wall in the darkness.
00:30:29
Speaker
And it just I hate it. But I love that movie. It's so well done. I'm glad you love it. I don't I don't remember our conversation on Hereditary, but it sounds new to me that you love it this much.
00:30:41
Speaker
Like the sound this sounds like well, to me I was I'm personally shocked that if you don't like horror, you liked that movie so much. I mean, I love it Like I love hereditary. I almost left the theater 30 minutes in.
00:30:54
Speaker
Why? You know, the one scene. Towards the beginning. cut About 30 minutes in. Yeah. Um, yep. That for whatever reason was such a sharp left turn.
00:31:07
Speaker
It was such a swerve of the car. I, shut
00:31:12
Speaker
that um I was so caught off guard and I was actually so shaken up by it. Yeah. And I really was like, do do I want to watch like the rest of this? like um And I powered through and it hasn't gotten easier on ah repeat viewings. But I mean, oh, my goodness, that movie is just incredible there's something new in it every time you watch it yeah it took me a long time ah don't know why but i really wanted my mom to watch it because because i was like it's a really good movie and she doesn't do she doesn't do horror movies and i'd finally kind of convinced her to watch it uh one of the times i was visiting el paso but her rules were that we had to watch it during the day we had to have the blinds open
00:31:58
Speaker
And we had to watch it on a Sunday. valid So those were the ground rules, but... Jesus is going to save you. But we watched it. i mean... I don't know if she liked it, but it definitely scared her.
00:32:11
Speaker
Fair enough. I think I just chased the high of showing you. i just off if i could If I could be the first time to show that to anybody, like i will I will take it. Yeah, I actually i haven't rewatched it since then. And I think maybe that's why I like it so much.
00:32:25
Speaker
Because it's still left such an impact on me. yeah I'm just... continue to appreciate it from afar and just my memories and my experience of watching that with you. And yeah, maybe maybe that's why I like it so much, but I, I never go out of my way to watch a horror movie ever.
00:32:43
Speaker
Alex, your pick. All right. I'm up. Um, I think I'm going to do, Let me lock in favorite comedy. I'm going to do Animal House. Okay. Wow. Never seen it. I haven't seen it in a while.
00:32:57
Speaker
Animal House, when I was a kid, had a lot of mystique around it because was dad's favorite comedy. And so for 15 or so years, I heard again and again and again about how Animal House was so funny and I needed to see it.
00:33:13
Speaker
But I couldn't because I was too young. And then I finally watched it. And honestly, i always see it's like, oh, the humor hasn't aged great.
00:33:25
Speaker
um I still think it's hilarious. It is so just like laugh out loud, funny. It's got a lot of really stupid like college humor. But then like the clever jokes that are in there are insanely clever.
00:33:39
Speaker
And it's something that at least in my family is so quotable that, um you know, it never fails to just work its way into conversation. I'm actually I'm actually wearing my my Delta House T-shirt as we record this.
00:33:53
Speaker
I am a member of ah Delta Tau Chi and I do have a zero point zero GPA. um And that is probably why it's my favorite movie or my favorite comedy movie. But good um maybe it was the mystique behind it growing up.
00:34:08
Speaker
But it's just every time every time I watch a new comedy, I just compare it to Animal House. I do have a banger of an alternate for this one, though. So ah when we do the alternate breakdown, we can we can talk about mine for this one.
00:34:22
Speaker
All right. All right. I think I think I'm going to go rom-com as well. I'm pretty sure this counts as a rom-com. Did mine count? Would we count about time as a rom-com? i It's a lot of things. It is a lot of things. I think I would. i don't know what you... It feels rom-com-y. Right.
00:34:40
Speaker
like he's got It's got the vibe of one. Sometimes. not to like But then it has so much more. Yeah. yeah like it's not it's not It's not a slight against the movie. Because like when I think rom-coms, I don't think about time.
00:34:54
Speaker
But not to say that it's not. ah It is. I guess... It's definitely more drama. Maybe not in the traditional sense. But maybe maybe sort of the first arc is more traditional rom-com-y.
00:35:05
Speaker
yeah and Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, anyways. Oh, no, you're good, you're good. Your pick. um Yeah, I'm go rom-com, and I'm going Seeking a Friend for the
Draft Round 5: Year-of-Birth Picks & Recommendations
00:35:13
Speaker
End of the World. Oh. haven't thought about that one in a while.
00:35:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's that's definitely one of my favorites. I could put that on at any time and just fully get lost in it. I think Steve Carell is fantastic in it. Keira Knightley, like I wouldn't expect them to have the chemistry they do. But I think the movie is very funny.
00:35:32
Speaker
One of my favorites. Yeah, like I said, could any time of day just pop that in and and I always have a really good time with it. Pop it in. Do you have a physical version? I don't. So I guess turn it on.
00:35:45
Speaker
Next category, I'm going a go ah favorite from the year I was born. How did you guys feel about this category? Were there good choices for the year you were born? Anything that you're actually a really big fan of? There were. Yes. There were some good ones. I was very scared that you guys would take mine, and then I realized I am older, so it doesn't really apply. None of us are born in the same year, so yeah we're okay.
00:36:08
Speaker
True. So for me, favorite from the year I was born. This movie was one of my childhood favorites growing up, and it also used to scare the living shit out of me.
00:36:19
Speaker
But I think it's been remade. Obviously, the remake is not nearly to the level as the original, but for my pick, I'm going Jumanji. Oh.
00:36:30
Speaker
The game, that movie, it did used to scare me. and like I ah remember the first like watching it as a kid and just being scared to go to sleep and terrified that I was just going hear like the thumping of the board game, like of like waking up or whatever.
00:36:45
Speaker
The drums. Yeah. And i was like, if I ever hear that, like I'm just... running as fast as I can in the other direction. But I'd be like if I said I wasn't curious to experience something like that. But I think Jumanji is a ah great movie.
00:36:58
Speaker
Great choice. Love Robin Williams. I think I'll do a favor from the year I was born to just to keep the theme going. There were a lot to choose from. There were some absolute bangers in there. And if you go and look at like what came out that year when I say ah say it, um you'll be like, oh, wow. Like, yeah, there were.
00:37:14
Speaker
um but I think to have to go with saving prior run. Oh, yes. so Good. Good. Yeah, that's perfect. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. I mean, the opening scene, but ending scene, everything in between.
00:37:29
Speaker
um That movie, it really can do no wrong in my eyes. It's just such an accomplishment in ah war films. And it was it was just such an easy choice. yeah It's the best war movie of all time.
00:37:45
Speaker
It's so, so well done. i always watched it when it would like show up in the TV guide back in the Anytime I saw it, I would put it on. No matter what part it's on, it just... Yeah, that's a great pick.
00:37:56
Speaker
All right. My next pick... I'm going to with my year. Oh, also, what were your years? 1995. 1998. Young Buck. I'm going to with my pick. What is your 1994. Old ass.
00:38:10
Speaker
I know. Don't mind me. um My pick, I think, has some pretty stiff competition. 1994 was a good year, especially for Jim Carrey. But, not going Jim Carrey.
00:38:22
Speaker
I'm going... disney this is what i was afraid of i thought you gonna something about this but i'm gonna go with the lion king it actually was close to being my favorite animated movie but and being in 94 just made it so easy it's one of the most memorable ah soundtracks of all time one of disney's best efforts and it's just a wonderful movie isn't it so sad to see how great the lion king is compared to what we have now with mufasa and his life action I can't say I love the live action adaptations.
00:38:56
Speaker
Earth tones. Yeah, but it's OK. Grace Lodge. We still have the original in all its beauty. I know, Tachi. I'm a little pissed you picked it because ah i was lining up an AARP joke, whatever you picked, and I can't do it for the Lion King.
00:39:15
Speaker
All right. I'm going to go with. My comedy. I wasn't really afraid that this could, this is good picks. Well, you can probably guess it. Wait, there's a big possibility that like we have maybe the same answer, but go ahead. and We'll see my favorite comedy that has made me laugh.
00:39:33
Speaker
Harder than any other comedy movie of all time. Popstar, Never Stop, Never Stopping. God damn it. Yeah. By the Lonely Island crew. It a true piece of art.
00:39:44
Speaker
And they they use their brains at 120% making up those jokes. And I just love it. Popstar, Never Stop, Never Stopping. It's so slept on. It is. Alex, have you seen it?
00:39:54
Speaker
No, I haven't. Oh, no. It's a travesty. Do you like the Lonely Island at all? Like, is that like your vibe at all? Oh, yeah. it Oh, my God. We need to have a movie night. We need to watch it. That and Hot Rod.
00:40:06
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, Hot Rod's a good one. Yeah. If you like Hot Rod, you'll love Popstar. Yes, absolutely. That's like a guarantee. All right. Those are my two picks. Sweet.
00:40:16
Speaker
Back to Alex. All right. I'm trying to strategically pick and I actually think every single category I have left is ah is you guys have picked one already.
00:40:28
Speaker
I'm going to knock rom-com out of the way. This is a tough one. I don't know why I found this ah this one so challenging, but i think I'm going to have to go with probably Crazy Stupid Love. Oh, that's a really good one. That's a good pick.
00:40:44
Speaker
the The only part of that movie I didn't like... was there there's a joke in the end involving the the son and the like the the babysitter it's like it's a little weird you know like it didn't age well it did not age well like i mean ah the first time i had like seen it in full was way after like all like the hollywood you know scandal stuff epstein all that and then just boom that one and i was like
00:41:17
Speaker
That's not great. The movie's still a banger, though. um Ryan Gosling, he's literally me. hot. Yeah. Oh, you know, such a good pick.
00:41:28
Speaker
And that's good. movie ah Steve Carell. Fantastic in it. Yep. I knew we were going to get i knew Ryan Gosling was going to show up somewhere here. He always does. Well, I mean, he's showing up on the third mic, so... Three mics. He's showing up on three different mics.
00:41:45
Speaker
He can show up on my mic. Whoa. All right. We got a few categories left. I think I'm going to go... going to go horror movie and then comedy.
00:41:56
Speaker
Horror movie was... a little A little hard of ah of a choice, not going lie. I did think hereditary, but I was like, let's cut a little deeper. like What have we got in there?
00:42:09
Speaker
So I think for my pick for horror movie, I'm going to go Green Room. Never seen it. if's neith You guys haven't seen Green Room? no what's What's the gist?
00:42:20
Speaker
Real quick. There's a room and it's green. Yeah, let me bring up the synopsis real quick. The film focuses on a punk band who find themselves attacked by neo-Nazi skinheads after witnessing a murder at a remote club in the Pacific Northwest.
00:42:33
Speaker
Oh. Yeah, directed by Jeremy Saulnier, starring Anton Yelkin, Eamogan Poots, and Patrick Stewart. Anton Yelkin, rest in peace. that sorry horrificistic Top five name in Hollywood.
00:42:45
Speaker
I highly recommend you guys checking that one out. will, I'll put on the list. Yeah, yeah put put it on your list now. Watch it immediately. and the we I'm watching it right now, actually. like And then for, let's see, this that was horror.
00:43:01
Speaker
For comedy, Popstar was on my list. I wasn't 100% sure. had a feeling. Yeah.
00:43:09
Speaker
I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to pick it, but i I had it on my list. yeah And I'm debating between episodes. And these are like, I've got like five on here, but like the top two are kind of tough to pick, but I'm going to go with my gut based off of what you said, Tachi, like just something that constantly makes you laugh just like through and through the first time I watched this movie, there was a scene in it and I don't think I've ever laughed harder.
00:43:34
Speaker
Like, Physically in pain, tears running down my eyes. I'm going with the other guys. Oh. And the scene is obviously the aim for the bushes. It's a very talked about scene, but the first time seeing that in the theater to the cut to them hitting the floor and you're just like, wait, what?
00:43:53
Speaker
And then the immediate hard cut to the funeral. i could not control myself. Like, And it just didn't stop for like the rest of the movie. That gag feels right up your alley.
00:44:04
Speaker
Yeah. It's. ah
00:44:08
Speaker
Yeah. That's what I got for choice. right. I'm going to do. I'm in a similar predicament with horror um where it's I got two in my gut is. It's all upside down.
00:44:21
Speaker
going to do one that's that's really special to me. It's not necessarily my favorite one, um but it has a it'll always have a place in my heart. And it's the 2011 remake of the crazies.
00:44:33
Speaker
Oh, haven't seen it. haven't heard of it. I don't know why, but I've seen that movie like 20 times. um don't even know if I've heard of that one. um It rocks.
00:44:44
Speaker
It's so good. It's got ah Timothy Oliphant in it of justified fame. And he... yeah body mean, the i don't know if you guys want me to give the ah ah synopsis of that one.
00:44:58
Speaker
yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, all all all i'm I'm not going to read it. I'm just going to I'm just going to give you my ah my synopsis of it is a small town, Iowa, um really picturesque, you know little farm town and people start going crazy.
00:45:13
Speaker
Like really crazy. Oh, the title. Yeah. like Crazy, crazy. Yeah. And they call the people, the craziest. No, um but I mean, it's, it's, it's one of those movies that it doesn't actually do anything like groundbreaking, but there's some solid like kills, some solid blood and guts.
00:45:31
Speaker
The soundtrack is really good. There's like a couple just moments that'll always live like rent free in my head and it's it was always like it it came out like during like the the zombie craze and so it was always like um like a next step on uh kind of like the the zombie apocalypse what if that my friends and i would all have we don't discuss very seriously high school lunch yeah yeah i love that movie it's it's not my highest rated horror movie.
00:46:01
Speaker
Not even like close, I think. But I mean, every time I'm listening, like what are your favorite horror movies? Like it's always in there. Like I think even my mom liked that one and she's not like a huge horror fan. and Would you recommend? So I just added it to my watch list.
00:46:15
Speaker
So you said it was a remake, the original from 1973. I've never seen Yoshi. OK, never seen it. it That has been on my list since I watched the first one. I've never gotten around to doing it.
00:46:26
Speaker
Breck Eisner directed it. I have never heard of Breck Eisner. Oh, he did The Last Witch Hunter, the Vin Diesel movie. Love all Vin. I did it. did it to my watch list.
00:46:36
Speaker
Same. And Green Room. Nice. All right. Two more
Celebrating Creative Impact
00:46:40
Speaker
picks for me. I'm going to go with Director. um This one was pretty close. The Tiebreaker for me was just more of like, um I guess the impact on like sort of a cultural level, but I'm going to go Miyazaki.
00:46:53
Speaker
Um, it was kind of, nice it's not that his movies like are my absolute favorite. I mean, they're really great and I love them and I grew up watching them, but I think he just does a really great job of representing Japan. And I i value that part of my life really highly. And so it's great that we have such a good representation of Japanese media through him. And I just respect how bonkers creative he is. Cause I can never,
00:47:22
Speaker
I mean, very few, I guess, in history could ever match his level of um creativity. It is one of a kind. Yeah. That's a great pick. And for my final pick for the score, it's been a while since we did score, but I'm going to go with All Quiet on the Western Front.
00:47:38
Speaker
No, you're not. Oh, my God. brown Yeah. It's still in my head. It's the first thing I thought of. Yeah.
00:47:50
Speaker
Um, no, I'm going to go with because Star Wars was taken. i think Star Wars has like the most iconic score. Um, everybody knows it, but I'm going to go with a pretty close second.
00:48:02
Speaker
I think lot of people can argue this, but I'll go with Harry Potter. One of my favorite franchises growing up, super iconic theme, love the books, love the movies. So pretty easy choice for me as a backup.
00:48:14
Speaker
Nice. Good choice. Thanks. Alex. I like it. Is this your last pick? It is my last pick. If someone picked a director, am I not allowed to pick a movie that director made?
00:48:26
Speaker
I think that's safe. that's That's safe. Yeah. That's okay. yeah I would have really thrown a wrench in this because my favorite animated movie is Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki.
00:48:37
Speaker
Nice. Just... Gorgeous. It's actually it's actually probably a one a one B between spirited away and Princess Mononoke. But I think spirited away just edges it out.
00:48:48
Speaker
Yeah. Both of them are fantastic. And I got cooked so hard for dropping that favorite of mine in a in a icebreaker at work. Really? They kept calling it. They're like someone was like, isn isn't that the horse movie? And I'm like, that's spirit.
00:49:02
Speaker
Yeah, that's crazy. That's an insane response. One person stood up and defended me. Wow. Just one. And they were like, no, no, no. Trust me, guys. That's ridiculous. Yeah, that is kind of shocking. Yeah.
00:49:15
Speaker
the The haters were in full force. feel like Away is like a universally loved movie. I mean, it's top 30 all time on IMDb. It's not like it's niche or like...
00:49:27
Speaker
I pulled out some like weird, like weeb movie. Like, no, like everybody's heard. It's a very popular movie. Yeah. Interesting. Hilarious. Yeah. Great choice. It is a good movie. Spirit is also a good movie. Yeah.
00:49:39
Speaker
Spirited away. That's a handsome horse. little too handsome. little too handsome. They made me act up. Hear me out. That's yeah. That's a, that that'll be the top of the hear me out. It's like Diego from Ice Age.
00:49:50
Speaker
What? What? Oh, dude, you said Diego, and I immediately thought of Scratch. The... The little squirrel thing. Yeah. Yeah. You said Diego, and then immediately, like, Scratch, just like, in my head, and I was like, huh?
00:50:03
Speaker
Scratch, jump scare.
00:50:07
Speaker
All right. So this is the final pick for our first episode and first draft, and my last category is favorite soundtrack. This soundtrack is Score.
00:50:17
Speaker
Score. I wrote soundtrack, and I meant to put score. this score is loved by if not all most bomb boom boom it's a pretty safe answer and it was kind of hard picking this but i remember buying the vinyl this was the first movie score i bought on vinyl and i would listen i was listening to it for like weeks at a time and i would fall asleep to it and when i saw Hans Zimmer a few months ago and he played time I ascended and I cried and it was perfect so my pick for favorite score is inception good choice that's a great choice can't go wrong
00:51:02
Speaker
can't go You can't go wrong with it. I feel like it's a pretty safe answer, but I think seeing Hans Zimmer really solidified... I mean, Hans Zimmer is obviously just one of the best greatest to ever do it.
00:51:13
Speaker
he When he played... He was playing some songs from The Lion King. Also cried then. like Didn't expect that one. And it was it was the scene where Simba's talking to Mufasa in the clouds.
00:51:25
Speaker
And he starts going, Remember! And as he fades away into the clouds and he's running after him like, Dad! Just so good. But yeah, so I'm going Inception. Good choice. Great choice.
00:51:36
Speaker
All right. Well, that wraps up our first official draft. What I'd like to do is just each of us say the category in our picks and we'll kind of go around. We'll start with Alex.

00:53:25
Speaker
So I thought, oh yeah, I've got this in the bag. But i mean no, you guys have great picks. No, I don't think so. like it's Like I said, it's kind of the the introductory. so it's We can't scare the hoes yet.
00:53:43
Speaker
That is what technically true. Yeah, what's near what's near and dear to our hearts. Awesome. So alternates? Oh yeah, alternates, yeah. um Alex, you've been dying.
00:53:55
Speaker
Yeah. Let's talk about your alternates. Go ahead. Yeah. So the the the two main alternates that I had ah was horror was The Exorcist for and instead of The Crazies.
00:54:07
Speaker
um And then for comedy, Tucker and Dale versus evil. that would have been a out have been That would have been a really good one. Yeah. That movie. I was actually talking about it the other day. Just such a surprise at how good it was.
00:54:20
Speaker
Again, like like Animal House, so quotable. Yeah. ah So many bangers that I use on ah on a day-to-day basis, actually, because you know I have been having a doozy of a day. tom Sometimes those college kids, they just they come out of my property and they just start kill and jumping in the woodshipping. And then, like I mean, what's...
00:54:45
Speaker
What's been said about the or what hasn't been said about the Exorcist like that's one. So yeah, yeah, yeah those are my alternate. Some of the other alternates that I had that were ah kind of way out there. um I did have Miyazaki for director.
00:54:58
Speaker
I'd Scorsese as well. I thought you would Scorsese to because I'm Italian. yep exactly racist um two for rom-com the other two i had were love actually good pick and then one that is wild pick because i haven't watched it since high school and it probably is horrible uh but sex drive i don't know if you ever watched sex drive i i have heard of it yeah i don't remember is seth green in that one yes seth green plays an amish guy in that movie
00:55:30
Speaker
It's probably it probably doesn't hold up. I would not. while on but I have i for some reason in high school, I loved it. It's not like particularly like dirty or anything. So it wasn't like for that. For some reason, like the story just like it like scratched an itch.
00:55:49
Speaker
the story of sex drive is what changed dude i mean i can't explain it it's probably one of those like moment in time movies yeah and we can probably devote a whole episode to moment in time movies where it's like this would not hold up if we rewatched it that's a good idea for an episode but that one just i'm scared to rewatch it and i think i never will actually yeah I think you should just leave it as a nice memory. I'm going to leave it as a movie I really enjoyed. Yeah.
00:56:19
Speaker
And just the memories I had of it and the... i don't know, man. It had some solid Neil drops in it. Uh-huh. It did. um Some good, like, seriously good music in it. i don't know. Maybe it was an all-vibes movie.
00:56:31
Speaker
Can't be some vibes. That was like seventh round. That would have been throughou like an out-of-the-field answer. Like, if you straight-up said sex drive, would have been like... Same.
00:56:42
Speaker
And Alex is off the podcast. Yeah, I just I can't I've never been able to explain it. It's one of those ones where it was like I told it I remember I told someone they're like, what? And I'm like, I think everyone has those movies, though. You're nice houses and like, I know this isn't a great movie.
00:57:00
Speaker
Yeah. But I love it. And that's how it should be. Tachi, you want to talk about some of your alternates? Did you have much or not really? I didn't really have alternates, but I was surprised by some of the snubs, like especially with director.
00:57:14
Speaker
mean, there's really tough competition like Villeneuve or Fincher or don't know, just a lot those guys that were really heavy hitters in the early Yeah, kind of surprised that they didn't go, but it happens. I'd probably give Villeneuve an honorable mention.
00:57:34
Speaker
I had yeah, I had him as as one of my honor honorable mentions for sure. I had him and also had Damien Chazelle. I thought about him too. That was awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Damien Chazelle is just. We give that man all and my God needs Babylon.
00:57:48
Speaker
Babylon. Babylon smacks. Babylon is so good. I'm with consensus. Let me see. What are some other. And Tachi's off the podcast. This is just Malik.
00:58:00
Speaker
ah Comedy, I had Popstar. also had Hot Rod. And then a couple of others were Game Night and Nice Guys. Oh, Game Night. That's so good. Nice Guys. I like that.
00:58:11
Speaker
Yeah. Nice. There's there's Ryan Gosling again. Nice Guys is You could have gone with the Nice Guys you went with the other guys. That's true. was going to pick the guys. Looks for the guys. Franchise, I did write Mission Impossible.
00:58:24
Speaker
Oh. And Planet of the Apes. Oh, yes. Shocker. Mm-hmm. So that was ah that was a pretty hard one. But yeah other than that, not many um many other alternates. I did have hereditary for horror movie. but um Oh, also, before Sunrise came out the year I was born.
00:58:40
Speaker
and That is and didn't make the cut? I very much love. I was... Jumanji's zmanji' has got a deeper cut. That's true. That's true. That's a childhood movie. You know, it was hard. it was hard to pick between the two, but Jumanji's all fundamentals.
00:58:54
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Four Sunrises, the flashy superstar, but you know, Jumanji's in the trenches. Yeah, exactly. I think kids just hate Ethan Hawke.
00:59:05
Speaker
Why?
00:59:07
Speaker
i don't think he's done anything that's for kids. The black phone. What's that? Is that a kid's movie? Where he attacks children. See what I mean?
00:59:18
Speaker
So, I guess you're not wrong. I gotta research this now. Ethan Hawke. You're googling, me does Ethan Hawke hate children? Do children hate Ethan Hawke? He Batwheels, apparently.
00:59:31
Speaker
i don't know what Batwheels is, but he was in it. Looks like a Batman related. Cool. Wait, real quick. i think what's oh yeah What's the best Alien movie? What's the best Alien movie? What's your favorite out of the series? so Prometheus.
00:59:47
Speaker
Well, I haven't seen Romulus and I haven't seen Prometheus since probably came out. but i still watch I think the first or the second are probably my favorites. I do love Alien 2.
00:59:59
Speaker
there's Honestly, it's like Mission Impossible. They're all good. There's there's no wrong order in how like you rank your favorites. Except Fallout's the best. Dude, I got Ghost Protocol above Fallout. What? Yeah, that's like my that's like one of my hot takes.
01:00:15
Speaker
It's going around on Twitter. People are posting their rankings of Mission Impossible. Fallout's obviously in a lot of people's, but I'm like, Ghost Protocol, for some reason, I was like, hell yeah. Fallout is number two, though.
01:00:26
Speaker
Okay, fair enough. Cool. Well, I think that about wraps it up. We've successfully drafted our first draft. Is there anything else you guys want to say?
01:00:36
Speaker
Well, I'm, I'm really excited for future drafts. I think there's a ton of ground to cover and a lot of yeah hot takes to provide. Yeah. So we'll definitely have more drafts. We're going to have obviously, um, movie related, not movie related movie review episodes, but I think there's a lot coming down and I'm excited to see where we take everything.
01:00:57
Speaker
All right. Well, that about wraps it up. We will see you guys in the next episode. Thanks for listening. Yeah. Thanks guys. See ya.
01:01:30
