Introduction to 'Paddington Gone Wild'
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to Paddington Gone Wild, the internet's only hotel movie drafting podcast.
00:00:07
Speaker
I am one of your hosts, Red Rankin, as well as the maintenance man for our beloved hotel.
00:00:13
Speaker
I'm joined, as always, by the man who takes care of the linens, Mr. Austin Ingalls.
00:00:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's right.
00:00:19
Speaker
Both at home and at work.
00:00:22
Speaker
The concierge of our lovely hotel, Zach.
00:00:25
Speaker
Nice to meet you.
00:00:27
Speaker
He also would be a great concierge for the Continental.
00:00:31
Speaker
They're very discreet.
00:00:33
Speaker
Can take care of your dog.
00:00:35
Speaker
He didn't need to... Do not fuck with my dog.
00:00:38
Speaker
Or my friend's dog.
00:00:39
Speaker
He doesn't need to know anything.
00:00:41
Speaker
And the kid walking through the lobby out of the pool with no towel, just dripping water everywhere.
00:00:47
Speaker
Joey.
00:00:49
Speaker
Mom said I could have a popsicle from the store.
00:00:55
Speaker
Oh, this is a podcast about hotels.
00:01:00
Speaker
And more specifically, the time you spend in a hotel watching television.
Podcast Format and Categories
00:01:06
Speaker
This is we're bringing back to draft or rather we've we've
00:01:10
Speaker
done the to be episode was sort of a draft but we were picking from such a large library which we will do similarly here but we're gonna nail down some categories and have a lot of fun with this one this is movies and television that you would watch when you uh find yourself inside of a hotel oh my boys are frozen uh-oh uh-oh
00:01:35
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:01:37
Speaker
You lagged for a hot minute, buddy.
00:01:39
Speaker
I'm so sorry.
Hotel Wi-Fi Woes
00:01:41
Speaker
I literally went, oh, my boys are frozen.
00:01:44
Speaker
And then I looked up.
00:01:45
Speaker
The categories are...
00:01:49
Speaker
I did a full on soy face for the people.
00:01:51
Speaker
That's awesome.
00:01:52
Speaker
And it's even better because this is it's all recorded on my computer.
00:01:57
Speaker
So it's you're just going to hear me going.
00:02:00
Speaker
Oh, oh, oh, oh, because I was like, oh, is my connection kind of bad?
00:02:07
Speaker
And then I realized my connection is just completely cut out.
00:02:10
Speaker
Cool.
00:02:11
Speaker
It happens.
00:02:12
Speaker
It happens, man.
00:02:14
Speaker
Super good podcasting.
00:02:14
Speaker
Kind of like it would at a hotel.
00:02:16
Speaker
Yeah.
The Decline of Hotel Pay-Per-View
00:02:17
Speaker
Hey, there we go.
00:02:18
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:02:18
Speaker
Do you ever try to stream anything in a hotel on, like, hotel Wi-Fi?
00:02:21
Speaker
Oh, it's terrible.
00:02:22
Speaker
Dog ass.
00:02:22
Speaker
It's terrible.
00:02:23
Speaker
Because there's 80 people jerking off and hogging it all.
00:02:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:28
Speaker
that's true a lot of joking oh damn it he did it again you talking about jerking off ruined everything yeah thank you yeah just cranking it at the hardcock hotel can you imagine the days of like pay-per-view porn and hotels it still happens man up to him i know it does but like i feel like
00:02:53
Speaker
I was at a hotel in Vegas for an undisclosed reason as I was there on a business trip sure you were I was in my hotel room like okay what movies we got on here and I was just going through the tabs and I was like holy shit there's an adult movies tab I have to see what they have because I was like what even porn is just like porn is not like you know porn used to be like important it used to have like a thing yeah
00:03:21
Speaker
have like titles and actors that have stories.
00:03:25
Speaker
It used to be a film.
00:03:25
Speaker
It used to be important.
Draft Categories Announced
00:03:27
Speaker
You know, it's like more titles.
00:03:28
Speaker
Now are like eight, eight lesbians are, are turned by one straight guy with a massive hog.
00:03:35
Speaker
But like porn used to be like,
00:03:37
Speaker
double entendre and it's like and it was like you're literally describing this scene in Big Lebowski where Maude goes you can guess what happens next and Lebowski says he fixes the cable yeah exactly
00:03:53
Speaker
But okay, so I was like, I gotta see what the titles are like on these hotel porns because I am like so curious.
00:04:00
Speaker
And it was the shitty kind.
00:04:02
Speaker
It was like Big Dick Johnson and Tight Pussy Tina.
00:04:08
Speaker
It was kind of like a middle of the road one.
00:04:14
Speaker
I gotta say I was disappointed.
00:04:15
Speaker
To be fair, Big Dick Johnson is redundant.
00:04:18
Speaker
You already messed up there.
00:04:20
Speaker
Just call him Big Johnson.
00:04:22
Speaker
Yeah, or just, or like Biggie.
00:04:24
Speaker
Or Big Dick.
00:04:25
Speaker
Biggie.
00:04:26
Speaker
Biggie and Tupac.
00:04:27
Speaker
Fuck.
Drafting Hotel Movie Picks
00:04:28
Speaker
Large Richard.
00:04:32
Speaker
Well, our categories could potentially include pornography because the categories are as followed.
00:04:40
Speaker
Action.
00:04:41
Speaker
Comedy, director, television program.
00:04:46
Speaker
So anything that, you know, a lot of people end up watching way more TV because there's always a marathon of something on and wild card.
00:04:55
Speaker
That is anything, truly anything that you associate with staying in a hotel room.
00:05:02
Speaker
You do not have to draft in specific category order.
00:05:05
Speaker
I know that you boys know that, but just for the listener, you know, we might be picking certain things.
00:05:10
Speaker
Joe might be so set that he has to have a specific director that that's the first thing he calls out.
00:05:16
Speaker
Or maybe we find ourselves getting near the end before we do that.
00:05:21
Speaker
But because I think some of these categories are going to get rather contentious, I am going to go ahead and put together our draft order.
00:05:29
Speaker
I have random.org here with all of our names entered into a list, and I'm hitting randomize.
00:05:35
Speaker
Did you clear the cookies?
00:05:38
Speaker
I did not clear the cookies.
00:05:41
Speaker
Listen, motherfucker, I'm not gonna be here for much longer.
00:05:45
Speaker
I'm being hunted.
00:05:46
Speaker
I'm being fucking hunted by spies.
00:05:48
Speaker
Spies from every country.
00:05:50
Speaker
I need you to delete my cookies.
00:05:53
Speaker
I need you to delete my fucking cookies.
00:05:54
Speaker
All the cookies gone!
00:05:56
Speaker
Deleting cookies.
00:05:58
Speaker
The order will go as follows.
00:05:59
Speaker
This is a snake draft.
00:06:01
Speaker
It will be Joe.
00:06:03
Speaker
Yes, bitch!
00:06:05
Speaker
Then Austin.
00:06:06
Speaker
Okay, I'll take second.
00:06:07
Speaker
That's good.
00:06:08
Speaker
Zach and then myself at the turn.
00:06:11
Speaker
So I will have picks four and five.
Director and Comedy Film Picks
00:06:13
Speaker
Okay, whoa I've waited my whole life for this moment I'm so ready Hotel room draft on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday The four worst people you know are gonna talk about what they like to sit To watch when their underwear at a hotel And their significant others are out of town Joe, take a fuck and make a pick, dude Yeah
00:06:39
Speaker
Okay I'm gonna come out swinging on action Okay Minority Report Oh I like that Catch that on fucking FX has the movies In a hotel room Oh my god you're singing all night long
00:06:56
Speaker
I was not on my board, but hearing you explain it, I, I really love it.
00:07:02
Speaker
It's the perfect Spielberg movie for the list because like Jurassic park is an obvious one, but that's like, I don't know.
00:07:07
Speaker
That doesn't feel very hotel room.
00:07:08
Speaker
That's like childhood.
00:07:10
Speaker
I thought I had the exact same thought with Jurassic park.
00:07:12
Speaker
But Minority Report is cool.
00:07:16
Speaker
It has a look that could still look cool on a hotel TV.
00:07:22
Speaker
It's got that future sheen.
00:07:24
Speaker
It's got Tom Cruise in it.
00:07:26
Speaker
We don't have actor on here.
00:07:28
Speaker
I think we were going to have actor.
00:07:29
Speaker
But Tom Cruise would probably be in my hotel room.
00:07:33
Speaker
But it's got Tom Cruise in it.
00:07:35
Speaker
It's got a fucking mystery plot that when you could turn it on probably 30 minutes in and still enjoy it.
00:07:40
Speaker
Oh, pretty much.
00:07:41
Speaker
That's a prerequisite for just the visual storytelling.
00:07:44
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:07:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:46
Speaker
And it's Steven Spielberg.
00:07:48
Speaker
You're in good hands.
00:07:49
Speaker
See, I would almost rather have talking about 2000 zero Spielberg, right?
00:07:53
Speaker
Because I think I think in that decade, it encompasses his best hotel room movies.
00:07:57
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
00:07:58
Speaker
Right.
00:07:58
Speaker
His 2010s, 2020s.
00:07:59
Speaker
Got War of the Worlds in there.
00:08:01
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:08:02
Speaker
That's what I was going to say.
00:08:03
Speaker
I'd almost rather have War of the Worlds.
00:08:06
Speaker
Can I submit?
00:08:06
Speaker
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:08:07
Speaker
No, I was just going to say, because there's moments where I can get up and take a shit.
00:08:12
Speaker
Oh, fair.
00:08:13
Speaker
You know, it's like Minority Report.
00:08:15
Speaker
I love and I totally agree with you that it's a good choice.
00:08:17
Speaker
But like I'm locked in on Minority Report.
00:08:19
Speaker
See, where the world's I can kind of falter in and out and still see some great shit that I think is in that movie.
00:08:24
Speaker
The only reason that I'm probably not there with you is because that's actually one of my bigger Spielberg blind spots.
00:08:29
Speaker
I have not seen War of the Worlds.
00:08:30
Speaker
Fair enough.
00:08:30
Speaker
So I probably agree with you.
00:08:33
Speaker
I think most people would actually not call that a big Spielberg blind spot.
00:08:36
Speaker
But for perverts like us, it's like, dude, you haven't seen War of the Worlds?
00:08:40
Speaker
It's a fucking Tom Cruise, Spielberg, you know.
00:08:43
Speaker
I think there's a lot of good shit in there.
00:08:45
Speaker
I don't like the movie overall, but I would like, or I don't, you know, in the scope of Spielberg, I don't like it.
00:08:52
Speaker
But like, I would, if it was like on FX or TNT, I would just like fire that shit up.
00:08:57
Speaker
That movie would have done numbers if not for that pesky Osama bin Laden.
00:09:01
Speaker
Yeah, that fucking guy.
00:09:02
Speaker
Imagine if my wild card pick was like fucking the Orson Welles War of the Worlds.
00:09:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:09
Speaker
I would like to submit a potential different 2000 Spielberg pick and from the same year as Minority Report, but I think actually is the best Spielberg hotel movie.
00:09:21
Speaker
Witches, catch me if you can.
00:09:23
Speaker
Ah, but see, that's the thing.
00:09:24
Speaker
Drop in whenever you need to.
00:09:27
Speaker
Yeah, I want to be locked in, and it's great fun, but it is very sad.
00:09:32
Speaker
And I guess Minority Report has sadness, too.
00:09:34
Speaker
Minority Report's really sad, too.
00:09:36
Speaker
Minority Report is sad in, like, a manly way.
00:09:38
Speaker
And it feels disconnected.
00:09:39
Speaker
Catch me if you can is going to make me think about my dad.
00:09:41
Speaker
yeah it's it's not great i do i it's from the same it's from the same year as minority report yeah kind of incredible the guy did it two and double hitters all the time it's unbelievable crazy like absolute masterpieces back to back
00:09:57
Speaker
I just think catch me if you can, as it's like, you know, not to just crib another podcast, but it is it's such a quintessential rewatchables.
00:10:05
Speaker
And that like if you sit down and you're like, oh, shit, he's the TVA pilot right now.
00:10:08
Speaker
You're like, well, fuck it.
00:10:09
Speaker
I'm going to stick around.
00:10:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:10
Speaker
And then you're like, oh, dude, he's the doctor right now.
00:10:12
Speaker
You're like, well, fuck, I'm going to sit down here.
00:10:15
Speaker
Wait, I got Amy Adams and Martin Sheen are here.
00:10:17
Speaker
I'm happy.
00:10:21
Speaker
I think you have your pick of the litter on those.
00:10:23
Speaker
I think they're all great.
00:10:24
Speaker
The Spielberg Hotel Room movie era is vast
Comforting Hotel TV Shows
00:10:28
Speaker
and varied.
00:10:29
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:10:30
Speaker
It's totally the odds, though.
00:10:32
Speaker
It's the odds, I think.
00:10:34
Speaker
Okay, my pick.
00:10:35
Speaker
I'm starting in director.
00:10:37
Speaker
It has to be my first pick overall, Tony Scott.
00:10:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:40
Speaker
It has to be.
00:10:42
Speaker
Like, I can't.
00:10:43
Speaker
I would have been so upset.
00:10:45
Speaker
I might start crying just thinking about the prospect.
00:10:48
Speaker
I would have been so upset if I lost good old PS.
00:10:52
Speaker
Talk about a king of the aughts.
00:10:55
Speaker
Like prior to I didn't text all this earlier Because I didn't want to start tipping my hand But I was rewatching Enemy of the State today With Will Smith and Gene Hackman Which is just like He is the absolute lord of TNT movies Movies you want to see pop up on TNT And like TNT knows drama Oh dude Yeah Crimson Tide would fucking murder in a hotel room Exactly And I don't want to list too many of the movies Because they're probably on our list But I think like
00:11:23
Speaker
just you look at the body of work, I'd be essentially happy with any of them.
00:11:28
Speaker
Like any Tony Scott movie, barring maybe two of them, but even the two that I like, I'm not crazy about, I'd still be like, yeah, sure.
00:11:36
Speaker
That's the beauty of a hotel room movie is even if you don't really love the movie, it might be the only one that you know, that's on.
00:11:42
Speaker
So yeah, I'm probably going to be on my phone anyway, whatever.
00:11:45
Speaker
Like I'm probably going to be on my phone anyway.
00:11:47
Speaker
So I can just like pop in when it gets interesting.
00:11:50
Speaker
It's kind of the beauty of, and I had a feeling that if you were in the top two or top three in terms of draft order, is that that was going to be your number one overall pick?
00:12:00
Speaker
It just had to be.
00:12:00
Speaker
It just had to be for me.
00:12:01
Speaker
But even, I mean, the inspiration for this episode, and I'll just go ahead and tip my hand for this movie, which I don't think I'm going to draft, but I was watching Man on Fire in a hotel room, and I was talking about TNT movies and hotel room movies, and that's how we ended up where we ended up.
00:12:19
Speaker
yeah yeah i mean he's he's he's the patron saint of the hotel room television i i love him so much i i could watch his movies i could watch once one every week and be so happy for the rest of my life freaking top gun yeah exactly come on throw that like thunder any part of the movie anytime days of thunder is actually blind spot for me i have a 4k sitting waiting for me that i'm gonna watch soon watch it tonight
00:12:42
Speaker
I might watch it tonight.
00:12:43
Speaker
We'll see where the night takes me.
00:12:45
Speaker
Okay, next up is Zach, right?
00:12:47
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to stick in the director's category because I think that is where it might get the most contentious.
00:12:52
Speaker
But my backup option, I'm leaving as a backup because I do think either Red or Joe will pick it.
00:12:59
Speaker
But my pick is going to be Adam McKay.
00:13:01
Speaker
Damn it.
00:13:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:04
Speaker
I could feel it coming.
00:13:05
Speaker
I was a fucking excellent pick.
00:13:06
Speaker
From TNT to Comedy Central and like, pick of the litter, you take Step Brothers, Anchorman, the other guys.
00:13:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:15
Speaker
Fucking big shirt.
00:13:16
Speaker
That would kill on a TV too.
00:13:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:19
Speaker
Hotel TV.
00:13:19
Speaker
Any of those movies.
00:13:21
Speaker
I've actually probably watched each of those movies in a hotel room.
00:13:24
Speaker
Oh yeah, for sure.
00:13:25
Speaker
I even think you could find things to like in Vice if you're in a hotel room.
00:13:28
Speaker
Every time Sam Rockwell shows up, you just get off your phone.
00:13:32
Speaker
Yeah, big short's a great hotel room movie.
00:13:35
Speaker
That's a great pick.
00:13:36
Speaker
He was on my list.
00:13:38
Speaker
There's not that much to say about Will Smith doing funny shit is just familiar to all of us.
00:13:45
Speaker
Will Ferrell?
00:13:47
Speaker
He had Tony Scott on the brain.
00:13:51
Speaker
I don't wait.
00:13:52
Speaker
What you said?
00:13:53
Speaker
Will Smith, not Will Ferrell.
00:13:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:57
Speaker
I mean, I do love it.
00:13:58
Speaker
I do love Will Smith saying funny shit.
00:14:00
Speaker
For instance, men in black, a movie.
00:14:02
Speaker
Zach and I have both rewatched recently and me.
00:14:05
Speaker
I rewatched it maybe a week ago.
00:14:07
Speaker
Great movie.
00:14:07
Speaker
What I was going to say, just as far as kind of like my approach to hotel room movies, because I don't, I honestly don't spend that much time in hotels these days.
00:14:15
Speaker
Like I used to travel for work, but as a teacher, that's not something you do.
00:14:20
Speaker
But like when I'm in a hotel, most of the time I'm trying as hard as possible not to be at the hotel because it means I'm somewhere I want to hang out.
00:14:29
Speaker
So like most of the time the TV's on is like late at night after probably drinking a good bit, like just wanting to watch something funny to wind down that isn't new to me.
00:14:39
Speaker
So something like Step Brothers is perfect for that situation.
00:14:44
Speaker
Totally.
00:14:45
Speaker
McKay off the board.
00:14:47
Speaker
Yeah, you're right.
00:14:48
Speaker
Now we talked about this on in the chat.
00:14:51
Speaker
If a director is taken, we can still take their film.
00:14:54
Speaker
Yes.
00:14:54
Speaker
They'll take their movies.
00:14:56
Speaker
Perfect.
00:14:57
Speaker
Because what I think was going to be my number one overall pick, if I could get it, is Step Brothers.
00:15:03
Speaker
Yeah, it was top of my comedy board.
00:15:05
Speaker
It's a great hotel room movie, especially the censored version.
00:15:08
Speaker
So fucking funny.
00:15:10
Speaker
Dude, I was literally about to say, and there's another movie that I had on my long list, that there is a degree of how much it can make me laugh, even despite the fact that it is...
00:15:23
Speaker
censored even despite the fact that it is gonna be a little different in terms of the actual dialogue but I think Step Brothers is still just as funny probably the first like three times I watched it was on either TNT or Comedy Central at my house or going like on a trip to a hotel and when my parents would like
00:15:45
Speaker
go out to dinner, I would turn it on or something like it's great because you can watch stepbrothers a thousand times without ever knowing that you see ball sack in that movie.
00:15:55
Speaker
Sure.
00:15:56
Speaker
It's true.
00:15:57
Speaker
I will say it's one of the only comedies I've shown Clarissa in the four years we've been dating that she actually enjoyed.
00:16:04
Speaker
She really liked it.
00:16:05
Speaker
And I think part of the reason is because it actually ages really well.
00:16:10
Speaker
Yeah, it does.
00:16:11
Speaker
Like it doesn't, there's really little about it that has aged poorly.
00:16:14
Speaker
Like severance exists.
00:16:17
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
00:16:18
Speaker
For sure.
00:16:18
Speaker
Adam Scott gave us, gave us, uh, Derek.
00:16:22
Speaker
One of my favorite performances of a bad guy ever.
00:16:27
Speaker
He's fantastic.
00:16:28
Speaker
Oh, he's so incredible.
00:16:30
Speaker
He's incredible.
00:16:31
Speaker
I spend a thousand dollars a month on fucking vocal lessons for you to be flat.
00:16:37
Speaker
Catherine Han is like, throw my life away in that movie.
00:16:40
Speaker
That, no, seriously.
00:16:42
Speaker
I want you to roll me up into a ball and put me inside.
00:16:45
Speaker
I want to roll you up into a ball and put you inside my vagina.
00:16:48
Speaker
I just know
Action Movies for Hotel Viewing
00:16:49
Speaker

00:16:49
Speaker
Every time I feel a tickle, I'll know it's you.
00:16:51
Speaker
Oh.
00:16:52
Speaker
What, me, Dale?
00:16:53
Speaker
I made 550K last year.
00:17:02
Speaker
There's just so many boats and hoes, you know, classes.
00:17:05
Speaker
Boats and hoes is incredible.
00:17:06
Speaker
I still say, I still, every time like I'm at a work event and it's like, people are setting up like, this is a fucking Catalina wine mixer.
00:17:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:15
Speaker
I'll literally, we've talked about it of like, this wedding is horse shit.
00:17:19
Speaker
This is a house of learned doctors.
00:17:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:21
Speaker
I'll literally, if Clarissa is like, you're getting, you're getting crumbs on the couch.
00:17:25
Speaker
I'll think in my head, this house is a fucking prison.
00:17:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:29
Speaker
I say that constantly.
00:17:31
Speaker
It's incredible.
00:17:34
Speaker
It's so good.
00:17:35
Speaker
We talked about
00:17:38
Speaker
wriggle earlier off mic oh wriggle freaking out and then scott going were you thinking about your nana again also i fucking love seth rogan seeing that movie where he just has to react to yeah john c reilly farting for like 30 days okay i um you got another one red go on yeah i'm on the turn rip our hearts out again
00:18:06
Speaker
I think I have to do it because I'm really worried it will not be here in six picks.
00:18:11
Speaker
In television show, I'm going triple D. I'm going diners, drive-ins, and dives.
00:18:15
Speaker
Wow.
00:18:16
Speaker
What a great pick.
00:18:17
Speaker
Hey, buddy.
00:18:18
Speaker
Holy shit.
00:18:20
Speaker
Maddie loves Guy Fieri.
00:18:22
Speaker
It's one of the funniest things about her.
00:18:24
Speaker
She just absolutely adores that man.
00:18:26
Speaker
Is this because you were pissed off?
00:18:29
Speaker
There was no food network in your room.
00:18:32
Speaker
I was... Okay, so I did also text the boys when I was... The first time that we came up with this, I was staying in a hotel on a work trip, and then the second time, we were in Austin for a little South by Southwest activation, and I...
00:18:46
Speaker
I was so stoked because every time I go to a hotel room is there will be a triple D marathon on for like six and a half hours straight.
00:18:55
Speaker
And it's like it's comfort television to me.
00:19:00
Speaker
It's beautiful.
00:19:01
Speaker
It is.
00:19:02
Speaker
Like you watch and the people who have seen as many episodes as I have and maybe you boys have of, you know, you have a little assistance, whether it be liquid or, you know, medicinal.
00:19:16
Speaker
Grass, if you will.
00:19:17
Speaker
You start to notice little things like you could pick up on when guys like actually really into a meal versus when guys like this is not that great.
00:19:25
Speaker
I'm going to be nice because I'm a I'm a minch.
00:19:28
Speaker
You know, just recently passed away.
00:19:30
Speaker
RIP one of the goats.
00:19:31
Speaker
Gene Hackman appears.
00:19:33
Speaker
Guy Fieri didn't die.
00:19:34
Speaker
I thought that's what he was saying.
00:19:35
Speaker
I was like, wait, what?
00:19:37
Speaker
Gene Hackman appears in an episode of Triple D, which I think is sick.
00:19:41
Speaker
Hey, we're in the same fraternity.
00:19:43
Speaker
That's amazing.
00:19:45
Speaker
He's a brother.
00:19:47
Speaker
He's a brother.
00:19:48
Speaker
My brother, Guy.
00:19:50
Speaker
Yeah, I had to do it because I was worried it was not going to be back.
00:19:54
Speaker
And I
00:19:56
Speaker
I'll be honest, my television list was not as deep as I would have hoped.
00:20:01
Speaker
So I had to go with my gut.
00:20:02
Speaker
The reality shows are awesome hotel watching.
00:20:05
Speaker
Yeah, they're perfect.
00:20:05
Speaker
Like Ink Masters or Pawn Stars, like, put something like that on.
00:20:09
Speaker
I'm not going to watch that on Netflix, like, at home by myself.
00:20:13
Speaker
Don't go tipping your hand too early, Zach.
00:20:17
Speaker
Speaking of Zach, it's back to you, brother.
00:20:20
Speaker
I'm going to take us over to the comedy world.
00:20:24
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:25
Speaker
I almost picked an Adam McKay movie for this one as well, but in a similar flavor as Adam McKay, I'm going to go with 21 Jump Street.
00:20:35
Speaker
Yes.
00:20:35
Speaker
Oh, great pick.
00:20:37
Speaker
All my long list.
00:20:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:39
Speaker
Korean Jesus deserves a spot in this draft, so I'm going to give him one.
00:20:45
Speaker
Honestly, it's a movie that I didn't think would age well, and here you watch it, and it's actually still pretty fun.
00:20:52
Speaker
It's really good.
00:20:53
Speaker
Yeah, 22 is good too.
00:20:54
Speaker
I like 22.
00:20:56
Speaker
I mean, 22 has the he fucked the Chief's daughter scene, which is like an all-timer Channing Tatum moment.
00:21:06
Speaker
Honestly, it's for me a great pick because I honestly don't care that much about it at the end of the day.
00:21:14
Speaker
Like Austin was saying, if you need to get up and take a shit, I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
00:21:20
Speaker
And you'll still have good bits when you pop back in.
00:21:22
Speaker
Good bits.
00:21:23
Speaker
I know when to poke my head up from my phone and want to tune in.
00:21:27
Speaker
Just want to go do something else.
00:21:29
Speaker
But yeah, a nice movie to just pop in on different moments.
00:21:33
Speaker
But yeah, very funny.
00:21:36
Speaker
I don't have much to say other than that.
00:21:37
Speaker
I love that.
00:21:38
Speaker
That's fantastic.
00:21:39
Speaker
Hang on.
00:21:40
Speaker
I'm second guessing myself on one thing.
00:21:43
Speaker
I don't have time for that shit.
00:21:44
Speaker
Hey, can you fuck off?
00:21:45
Speaker
We have plenty of time.
00:21:46
Speaker
What are you doing?
00:21:47
Speaker
We have nothing but time, my friend.
00:21:51
Speaker
Okay.
00:21:52
Speaker
I'm going to go comedy.
00:21:55
Speaker
Okay.
00:21:58
Speaker
This might not... I don't know.
00:22:02
Speaker
This might not be on y'all's boards and I'm okay with it.
00:22:05
Speaker
I'm going dodgeball.
00:22:07
Speaker
That's a great one for a hotel room.
00:22:09
Speaker
That's exactly what I want.
00:22:12
Speaker
Because here, I don't want to tip my hand.
00:22:14
Speaker
These may come up again.
00:22:16
Speaker
But I'll read you other things on my list.
00:22:19
Speaker
I had two Ben Stiller movies.
00:22:20
Speaker
That's all I'll say.
00:22:23
Speaker
And I had Popstar.
00:22:25
Speaker
Now, I don't want to miss a second of those movies.
00:22:29
Speaker
Again, I don't want anything.
00:22:31
Speaker
This is going to be a theme throughout.
00:22:32
Speaker
I don't want anything I'm too connected to.
00:22:34
Speaker
Pop stars aren't going to be on TV, though.
00:22:36
Speaker
That's also true.
00:22:37
Speaker
It's too raunchy.
00:22:38
Speaker
It's too raunchy.
00:22:39
Speaker
That's also true.
00:22:40
Speaker
Dodgeball is a PG-13.
00:22:41
Speaker
I love that era of Vince Vaughn.
00:22:45
Speaker
Superstar.
00:22:48
Speaker
Superstar.
00:22:49
Speaker
Everything about his comedic persona.
00:22:50
Speaker
I love that movie, The Internship, with him and Owen Wilson.
00:22:54
Speaker
Yeah, that movie's fun.
00:22:55
Speaker
I like that movie, too.
00:22:56
Speaker
There's a couple other Vaughn comedies that I'm a little curious if the other boys will take, so I won't say.
00:23:02
Speaker
We'll see if they come up.
00:23:03
Speaker
Just for me, it was the one that I watched the most when I was a kid, too, because it wasn't like Wedding Crashers.
00:23:09
Speaker
It wasn't as raunchy, and my dad really liked it.
00:23:11
Speaker
He loved the ripped horn stuff.
00:23:14
Speaker
You know, if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
00:23:16
Speaker
um like hilarious justin long performance in this movie he's a real hotel room movie guy oh yeah yep so i just i just and still and stiller is great stiller too stiller is one of those guys where i'm like he could if we had had actor stiller would be up on my list oh 100 um and so yeah it just it's everything i want in that experience dodgeball is my is my pick in comedy
00:23:41
Speaker
Joe.
00:23:42
Speaker
Great pick.
00:23:43
Speaker
Wild card, bitch.
00:23:45
Speaker
Early.
00:23:46
Speaker
Early wild card.
00:23:47
Speaker
So early.
00:23:48
Speaker
This is your second pick, Joe.
00:23:52
Speaker
I don't want anyone to take it.
00:23:54
Speaker
Okay?
00:23:55
Speaker
You go ahead, pal.
00:23:56
Speaker
You go ahead.
00:23:57
Speaker
Adult swim.
00:24:00
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:24:02
Speaker
I don't want to pick one adult swim show.
00:24:05
Speaker
They're all important.
00:24:06
Speaker
They're all, most of them are like fine.
00:24:09
Speaker
There's never really like, I'm not going to sit down and binge watch robot chicken on, you know, Netflix.
00:24:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:16
Speaker
It's,
00:24:17
Speaker
But at 2 a.m.
00:24:19
Speaker
at a hotel room when I'm a little drunk, yeah, no, I'm going to watch that.
00:24:22
Speaker
I'm going to watch a marathon of that.
00:24:25
Speaker
It's got a fucking anime block, which, you know, that'll get me hard in a hotel room.
00:24:29
Speaker
The bumpers alone are worth it.
00:24:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:31
Speaker
The bumpers alone, just like randomly catching something like Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared on there, where you're just fucking freaking out at 4 a.m.
00:24:41
Speaker
Yeah, I think, I mean, Adult Swim is like, that is...
00:24:44
Speaker
what I look forward to when I can't sleep at a hotel, I just throw on adult swim and just watch what I'm going on.
00:24:49
Speaker
I love that.
00:24:50
Speaker
I think that's right on.
00:24:52
Speaker
So you've locked down all of those programs as well.
00:24:55
Speaker
So like, no, no, no, he's good.
00:24:57
Speaker
You pick whatever, if you want an adult swim show, that's not, I mean, like it's, I'm not saying all encompassing, but just know that Joe is better than you because he has the whole network.
00:25:07
Speaker
I already got my television program so I'm not concerned for clarifying that when he asked strip clubs to change all the TVs to a cartoon network he wasn't watching kids shows it was adult swim hours before adult swim hours his quote about that was so funny if I'm going to the strip club to look at naked buttholes and vaginas I don't want my entertainment to be fucking basketball laughter laughter
00:25:38
Speaker
Fair enough.
00:25:39
Speaker
Fair enough.
00:25:41
Speaker
Austin John is back to me.
00:25:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:43
Speaker
No.
00:25:44
Speaker
Joe has two picks.
00:25:45
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:25:46
Speaker
You have two picks.
00:25:47
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:25:48
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:25:48
Speaker
Shit.
00:25:49
Speaker
Fuck.
00:25:50
Speaker
Comedy.
00:25:50
Speaker
Goddamn.
00:25:51
Speaker
Comedy.
00:25:52
Speaker
Comedy, bitch.
00:25:53
Speaker
Happy, damn-ass fucking Gilmore.
00:25:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:57
Speaker
It's a great pick.
00:25:58
Speaker
Can you write down happy, damn-ass fucking Gilmore for me, please?
00:26:03
Speaker
Damn ass fucking Gilmore is basically how I speak now.
00:26:06
Speaker
It's just kind of like I've been putting damn ass in front of stuff.
00:26:12
Speaker
I say fucking a lot.
00:26:13
Speaker
It's just who I am.
00:26:15
Speaker
Praise God.
00:26:17
Speaker
Praise be.
00:26:17
Speaker
Praise be to him.
00:26:18
Speaker
Been watching a lot of gemstones.
00:26:20
Speaker
Praise be to he.
00:26:22
Speaker
Praise be to he.
00:26:22
Speaker
We got a gemstones pod.
00:26:24
Speaker
Thank God.
00:26:25
Speaker
Yeah, no, I just love Javi Gilmore.
00:26:28
Speaker
It's one of those, like I said, this is a prerequisite for me for hotel rooms, movies.
00:26:32
Speaker
I want to be able to jump in 45 minutes in and be like, yeah, no, this is still great.
Wildcard Picks
00:26:37
Speaker
And plus, I mean, it's an Adam Sandler probably would have been my actor.
00:26:41
Speaker
If I'm being honest, because I mean, literally, even if it's one of these really shitty ones, like if I'm going to watch fucking blended or something, I'll still watch it.
00:26:48
Speaker
Sure.
00:26:49
Speaker
He's still fun.
00:26:50
Speaker
You know, I'm still going to see the Sandman do his thing with his good racist buddies.
00:26:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:56
Speaker
I also had funny people on my comedy list, but it's just too sad.
00:26:59
Speaker
It just gets too sad.
00:27:01
Speaker
I do think it's very funny.
00:27:03
Speaker
I love funny people, but that's one of those.
00:27:05
Speaker
That's like a three hour long.
00:27:07
Speaker
But that's the thing, too.
00:27:10
Speaker
I'll watch Punch Drunk Love in a hotel room.
00:27:11
Speaker
100%.
00:27:11
Speaker
The thing about funny people is it's incredibly long.
00:27:15
Speaker
If I'm in the hotel room, like Zach was saying, late, I'll get the funny bits early and then I'll fall asleep.
00:27:20
Speaker
There you go.
00:27:21
Speaker
Great.
00:27:21
Speaker
Austin.
00:27:22
Speaker
Megan.
00:27:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:27
Speaker
I'm going to do action.
00:27:29
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:30
Speaker
A couple of different ways to go here.
00:27:32
Speaker
I'll say my number one overall pick would be a Tony Scott movie, but I'm not going to do that.
00:27:36
Speaker
And we can go, we can go over that at the end.
00:27:38
Speaker
Um, I already have them as a director.
00:27:40
Speaker
We're good.
00:27:41
Speaker
Um,
00:27:43
Speaker
Too Fast, Too Furious.
00:27:45
Speaker
Yes.
00:27:47
Speaker
That's the one that got me most excited on my list.
00:27:50
Speaker
That's a great pick, man.
00:27:54
Speaker
I have a lot of great movies on this list.
00:27:57
Speaker
The one I would most want to watch.
00:27:58
Speaker
Shout out to John Singleton.
00:27:59
Speaker
Yeah, shout out to John Singleton.
00:28:00
Speaker
May he rest in peace.
00:28:01
Speaker
I have a lot of other great movies on this list that I love to death that are not right for the hotel room experience.
00:28:07
Speaker
I want Paul Walker...
00:28:11
Speaker
I want Eva Mendez.
00:28:13
Speaker
I want Cole Hauser.
00:28:16
Speaker
Like, this is what I want.
00:28:19
Speaker
And so... Chris Bridges.
00:28:21
Speaker
Chris Bridges.
00:28:23
Speaker
I would just be delighted.
00:28:24
Speaker
And who plays, like, the head of the... There's some great, like, older actor who plays the cop.
00:28:29
Speaker
Like, his boss.
00:28:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:31
Speaker
Oh, it's Ted Levine.
00:28:35
Speaker
It's Ted Levine.
00:28:36
Speaker
Okay, fantastic.
00:28:37
Speaker
Game gum himself.
00:28:38
Speaker
Game gum himself.
00:28:39
Speaker
These are the things I want.
00:28:41
Speaker
And I think it's Singleton directs the action beautifully.
00:28:45
Speaker
It's got that awesome sort of like, is it Miami?
00:28:48
Speaker
Are they in Miami?
00:28:49
Speaker
I think so.
00:28:49
Speaker
Yes, it is Miami.
00:28:50
Speaker
It's got that beautiful like Miami 2000s Miami filter on it.
00:28:52
Speaker
That's the one where they fully do like the initial D shit inside the cars whenever they're drifting, like whenever they're racing, like they have like fucking like
00:29:02
Speaker
lines that appear like it looks like it literally looks like the anime it's based on before they actually just copy initial D in the following film yeah exactly and so this is like I think a lot of the fast movies would work wonderfully here for me this is the one that I want I think it's probably the one I've seen the most because of the function of it being on like FX all the time when I was a kid
00:29:26
Speaker
I'm kind of glad you picked it because my pick was Tokyo Drift.
00:29:29
Speaker
And I'm going to change it now.
00:29:31
Speaker
But generally, like any fast movie.
00:29:35
Speaker
But for me... I'm going to be happy.
00:29:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:39
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:29:39
Speaker
All right, Z-Robbins.
00:29:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:41
Speaker
All right.
00:29:42
Speaker
So my backup's going a little bit different territory for the action movies.
00:29:46
Speaker
But I mean, this might be a recency bias for me, but it's also a movie I've seen a hundred times.
00:29:55
Speaker
I'm going National Treasure.
00:29:56
Speaker
Yeah, bitch.
00:29:57
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
00:29:58
Speaker
Incredible choice.
00:30:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:00
Speaker
Oh, what a movie.
00:30:02
Speaker
You can tune in and they might be stealing the fucking Declaration of Independence.
00:30:07
Speaker
They might be running away from fucking Sean Bean.
00:30:11
Speaker
I mean, he might be rubbing off the Liberty Bell.
00:30:14
Speaker
Diane Kruger's buttons, if you do, if you say.
00:30:17
Speaker
What's that accent?
00:30:18
Speaker
Pennsylvania Dutch?
00:30:20
Speaker
Saxony German.
00:30:24
Speaker
It's such a familiar, it's such a warm movie.
00:30:28
Speaker
As far as a movie that feels cozy.
00:30:31
Speaker
It's the perfect amount of nostalgia for a hotel room because it doesn't make you think about anything that's going to make you feel emotions that are hard.
00:30:38
Speaker
It's only going to make you feel cool emotions.
00:30:41
Speaker
I can tell you what's going to be hard though.
00:30:42
Speaker
My dick when Diane Kruger walks in.
00:30:45
Speaker
Ow, ow, ow!
00:30:48
Speaker
Sorry, Zach.
00:30:49
Speaker
I didn't mean to joke.
00:30:50
Speaker
I was just saying John Voight got pissed off.
00:30:51
Speaker
They hooked the declaration in his oven.
00:30:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:56
Speaker
This is the declaration of independence.
00:31:00
Speaker
It's honestly one of my favorite Voight roles.
00:31:03
Speaker
He's really good.
00:31:05
Speaker
He's really good.
00:31:06
Speaker
What does he say when the FBI is there?
00:31:08
Speaker
He's like, he tied me to a chair.
00:31:11
Speaker
And then the guy comes in and talks about the car and he says, and he stole my car.
00:31:17
Speaker
I do have a back oh man I just thought of a perfect hotel action movie I'm gonna wait until everyone says it we'll get to honorable mentions I think I just remembered the best one damn okay well I can't wait to hear what that is unless somebody takes it I'm gonna go I'm gonna go director first because I've got back to back picks so I'm not particularly worried
00:31:39
Speaker
about losing one.
00:31:41
Speaker
So for director, I will go the great John McTiernan.
00:31:47
Speaker
Yeah, that's a great one.
00:31:50
Speaker
I almost went with him.
00:31:52
Speaker
Have to have him there.
00:31:55
Speaker
I... The beauty of John McTiernan is that you get so much great shit.
00:31:59
Speaker
I know that Zach and I are more pro-Predator.
00:32:02
Speaker
Wow.
00:32:03
Speaker
Very poor choice of words.
00:32:05
Speaker
Poor or pro the film Predator.
00:32:08
Speaker
My opponents will say it.
00:32:09
Speaker
They said it in their own words.
00:32:10
Speaker
They said, I love Predators.
00:32:13
Speaker
I don't.
00:32:14
Speaker
I only love Predators.
00:32:14
Speaker
I don't love the film Predators, but I do love the film Predator starring Arnie.
00:32:21
Speaker
I think...
00:32:22
Speaker
Arnold is a guy who he is not quite the patron saint of the hotel room, but he is up there in terms of like, he's just got great action movies in a lot of them.
00:32:31
Speaker
He's on the Rushmore.
00:32:33
Speaker
Yeah, he's on the Rushmore for sure.
00:32:34
Speaker
Dude, he directed the Thomas Crown Affair remake in 1999.
00:32:36
Speaker
Incredible.
00:32:38
Speaker
I think the Thomas Crown Affair remake is fucking excellent.
00:32:41
Speaker
It's amazing.
00:32:42
Speaker
Die Hard and Die Hard with a Vengeance.
00:32:44
Speaker
Hunt for Red October.
00:32:46
Speaker
Hunt for October is fucking excellent.
00:32:47
Speaker
I'm a huge Last Action Hero fan.
00:32:49
Speaker
I am too.
00:32:50
Speaker
That's something I haven't seen.
00:32:52
Speaker
I haven't seen it until like last year when Blank Check was doing McTiernan and I watched it.
00:32:56
Speaker
I thought it was.
00:32:56
Speaker
I think it's excellent.
00:32:57
Speaker
I think it's one of Arnie's more undersung roles.
00:33:00
Speaker
It's great.
00:33:00
Speaker
I agree.
00:33:01
Speaker
Speaking of Schwarzenegger, are we sure Patrick Schwarzenegger is acting in The White Lotus?
00:33:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:06
Speaker
I don't care because he's incredible.
00:33:09
Speaker
I've seen I've seen enough videos of him being a real sweetie pie.
00:33:12
Speaker
Like there's that video going around of him like crying when he got the part and like crying with his mom.
00:33:17
Speaker
And I'm like, OK, he's probably a sweet guy.
00:33:19
Speaker
I did.
00:33:20
Speaker
Chris Pratt.
00:33:22
Speaker
I fucking I did not like I was about to bring it.
00:33:25
Speaker
But yeah, the whole thing of him being like, he's not blood red.
00:33:28
Speaker
I'm trying to see that dick.
00:33:29
Speaker
Shut the fuck up.
00:33:30
Speaker
You're a piece of shit.
00:33:33
Speaker
Go back to church.
00:33:34
Speaker
I hate that guy.
00:33:35
Speaker
Go back to church.
00:33:36
Speaker
Weirdo.
00:33:36
Speaker
That's a bar.
00:33:37
Speaker
Frank, can I, can I tell, uh, can I tell a quick Thomas crown affair story?
00:33:40
Speaker
Of course you can.
00:33:41
Speaker
Um, I, I love that movie.
00:33:43
Speaker
That's the most you sentence I've ever heard.
00:33:46
Speaker
You know, I can only be what I can be.
00:33:48
Speaker
Um,
00:33:49
Speaker
I love that movie.
00:33:50
Speaker
My mom, you know, she likes Pierce Brosnan a lot.
00:33:53
Speaker
She likes those Bond movies and she had never seen it.
00:33:56
Speaker
And so one time I was home at my parents' house and my parents are like very conservative.
00:34:00
Speaker
My dad watches a lot of shit, but like my mom doesn't really like she doesn't want gratuitous stuff.
00:34:05
Speaker
And I forgot how much Rene Russo tit is in that movie.
00:34:09
Speaker
So much.
00:34:10
Speaker
A lot of tit from Rene Russo.
00:34:12
Speaker
And I was like, oh, my God.
00:34:15
Speaker
And like, I think she broadly enjoyed the movie, but I'm just like sitting there next to my mom on their sectional just being like, oh shit, please don't.
00:34:23
Speaker
Oh God.
00:34:24
Speaker
Oh no.
00:34:24
Speaker
Oh, the shirt's coming off again.
00:34:26
Speaker
Oh shit.
00:34:27
Speaker
And it was very fun.
00:34:28
Speaker
I think she broadly enjoyed it, but that movie rips so hard.
00:34:32
Speaker
So much Rene Russo tit.
00:34:34
Speaker
Have you guys seen the film Basic?
00:34:36
Speaker
i have not travolta and jackson it is the last john mctiernan film starring john travolta and samuel jackson john travolta plays a character who's a dea agent his name is tom hardy incredibly i like that a lot i have to ask a clarifying question about my next pick because i am going to take action
00:35:01
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:03
Speaker
You're wondering if something qualifies?
00:35:05
Speaker
I'm wondering if something qualifies.
00:35:08
Speaker
I'll just go ahead and present it.
00:35:10
Speaker
Do you guys, a car racing film called Ford v. Ferrari, I think it's a sort of action, sort of drama.
00:35:20
Speaker
There's a lot of like, because so much of it is the actual race is kind of my argument I'm trying to make here.
00:35:26
Speaker
I don't want to yuck your yum.
00:35:28
Speaker
I don't think that's an action movie, but again, I don't give a shit.
00:35:31
Speaker
Like, yeah, pick a movie.
00:35:32
Speaker
I think I'm with Joe on this.
00:35:34
Speaker
I'm okay with it because of the racing elements.
00:35:37
Speaker
And I think the racing elements of the movie are really well done.
00:35:40
Speaker
I'd like to see what man gold did with more of them.
00:35:42
Speaker
Um,
00:35:44
Speaker
I would almost call is Ferrari more of an action movie than Ford v Ferrari, just because of the sort of gratuitous nature of the one scene.
00:35:51
Speaker
And that's true.
Concluding the Draft
00:35:52
Speaker
That's true.
00:35:53
Speaker
Whereas I think Ford v Ferrari has significantly more.
00:35:56
Speaker
Yeah, it does have a lot more car.
00:35:58
Speaker
And it's it's one of the best Christian Bale performances.
00:36:02
Speaker
I think he's phenomenal in that movie.
00:36:05
Speaker
If I can have it.
00:36:05
Speaker
You're forgetting Thor Love and Thunder.
00:36:08
Speaker
He's the only good part of that movie.
00:36:10
Speaker
The rest of that movie is complete dog ass.
00:36:13
Speaker
If I can have it, I would like to take.
00:36:16
Speaker
I'm happy for you to take it.
00:36:18
Speaker
i'll allow it but watch yourself mccoy watch yourself counselor uh so ford versus ferrari the reason i picked this one is i do i do find the racing scenes very thrilling um i think the performances are great everyone is super charismatic yeah but the reason specifically i went with something like this i've got some bangers on here i've got tony scott pictures on my list i've
00:36:42
Speaker
A McTiernan movie was really my number one action on the list, but I opted out because I just wanted to celebrate other things and other people.
00:36:52
Speaker
But it is, the film is two and a half hours long.
00:36:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:57
Speaker
And on television, on FX or TNT, that means you almost have a four hour block.
00:37:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:06
Speaker
And so I can just throw it on or I can wander in after dinner and after drinks and it's still going to be on and I'm still going to get a lot of movie.
00:37:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's true.
00:37:19
Speaker
Whereas like something that's really brisk, a lot of Tony Scott pictures are really brief.
00:37:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:25
Speaker
And so if I catch it on TNT, I get like the climax that I'm gone.
00:37:31
Speaker
I'm out of it.
00:37:33
Speaker
So that's why I went with it.
00:37:35
Speaker
I really, really, really love that movie.
00:37:38
Speaker
It's great.
00:37:39
Speaker
It got lost inside of an excellent year in film.
00:37:43
Speaker
But it really clicked.
00:37:45
Speaker
It's just pure dad cinema.
00:37:47
Speaker
I was about to say, I think a lot of people undervalue dad cinema.
00:37:50
Speaker
It's like people didn't go see the fucking Horizon, which I thought was actually pretty great.
00:37:58
Speaker
I think it's just because... I still haven't watched it, and I'm such a Cosmo fan.
00:38:03
Speaker
I don't know.
00:38:04
Speaker
I feel like... Fucking Moneyball?
00:38:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:07
Speaker
Honestly, I feel like that movie was underseen as well.
00:38:09
Speaker
I feel like dad movies just don't do very well in the box office.
00:38:11
Speaker
It was definitely underappreciated by awards bodies.
00:38:15
Speaker
And because of streaming these days, dad movies have just gotten more and more sloped.
00:38:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:23
Speaker
I agree.
00:38:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:24
Speaker
It sucks.
00:38:25
Speaker
It's a bummer.
00:38:26
Speaker
Back to Z-Rob.
00:38:27
Speaker
All righty.
00:38:28
Speaker
I'm going to go.
00:38:28
Speaker
I've been watching Comedy Central, and I'm going to stay there.
00:38:31
Speaker
21 Jump Street just finished playing in his block, and guess what's up next?
00:38:35
Speaker
It's a Nathan for you marathon.
00:38:36
Speaker
Yes, Ben.
00:38:37
Speaker
Nice.
00:38:38
Speaker
That's really good.
00:38:40
Speaker
Any season, any episode, I'm there.
00:38:43
Speaker
I'm locked in.
00:38:45
Speaker
And honestly, I've been rewatching some of it lately, and it's been a minute.
00:38:51
Speaker
I love it when a show holds up just the same, if not better, as the other billion times you watched it.
00:38:57
Speaker
It's just, yeah, it goes by quick, too.
00:39:00
Speaker
So if you're passing time or counting sheep or whatever, like that'll get you there.
00:39:05
Speaker
Yeah, I love that.
00:39:07
Speaker
Great pick.
00:39:08
Speaker
Great pick for a TV show.
00:39:10
Speaker
Lots of good Comedy Central.
00:39:12
Speaker
I feel comfortable saying this because none of my picks are on there.
00:39:16
Speaker
My pick for TV isn't Comedy Central.
00:39:18
Speaker
I don't want to tip my hand too hard, but you got fucking Review.
00:39:21
Speaker
You got Reno 911.
00:39:25
Speaker
Comedy Central was going to be my other wildcard pick if I didn't do Adult Swim.
00:39:28
Speaker
Comedy Central is always, probably always on in my hotel rooms.
00:39:33
Speaker
Yeah, it's got your back.
00:39:34
Speaker
It's got your back all the time.
00:39:36
Speaker
I love it.
00:39:38
Speaker
Okay, my pick.
00:39:43
Speaker
I think I'm picking the things that get me, I would be most excited to watch in a hotel room because I have an excuse to watch them.
00:39:52
Speaker
So my TV pick is My 600-lb Life.
00:39:56
Speaker
It has to be.
00:40:00
Speaker
It's the only time I've ever watched that show.
00:40:03
Speaker
is in hotel rooms on TLC because it comes on late at night and I'm just scrolling and I'm like fascinating.
00:40:10
Speaker
I find it sometimes viscerally upsetting.
00:40:13
Speaker
Yes.
00:40:14
Speaker
Sometimes extremely funny.
00:40:17
Speaker
And I'm okay with either of those things late at night at a hotel because I just find it so compelling.
00:40:25
Speaker
And it's one of those things where I'm restricted to it.
00:40:28
Speaker
Like I'm like, okay, I don't, there's nothing else on.
00:40:31
Speaker
my 600 pound life is on.
00:40:32
Speaker
I'm going to lock in with this.
00:40:33
Speaker
I'm really going to engage and I'm never going to turn it on at home.
00:40:37
Speaker
Cause why would I, you know?
00:40:39
Speaker
And I have, I have to be alone.
00:40:42
Speaker
Nobody else is going to want to watch that shit with me.
00:40:44
Speaker
Like I just have to be alone.
00:40:46
Speaker
And,
00:40:47
Speaker
So the hotel room is perfect.
00:40:48
Speaker
And so I think TLC is the only time I ever watch that channel is in a hotel room just because I find it fascinating.
00:40:56
Speaker
90 Day Fiance.
00:40:57
Speaker
90 Day Fiance.
00:40:59
Speaker
I've watched a weird amount of Say Yes to the Dress when I'm in a hotel room with my family.
00:41:03
Speaker
That's a great, that's quality entertainment.
00:41:05
Speaker
Maddie, come here.
00:41:11
Speaker
This is podcasting.
00:41:12
Speaker
A TLC show you're talking about?
00:41:14
Speaker
She showed you a TLC show.
00:41:15
Speaker
Yes, and I can't remember what it is, but it's like... She'll remember the name.
00:41:19
Speaker
Okay, Maddie, what's that show where they make the brides compete for who has the best wedding?
00:41:26
Speaker
Bride Wars?
00:41:27
Speaker
Bridezilla.
00:41:29
Speaker
It's not Bride Wars, is it?
00:41:30
Speaker
Four Weddings.
00:41:32
Speaker
Basically, they follow these four brides over the course of the hour.
00:41:38
Speaker
TLC.
00:41:41
Speaker
Okay, it's over the course of 30 minutes, sorry.
00:41:44
Speaker
But they, basically at the end of all the weddings, whoever had the best wedding, they like pay for the honeymoon.
00:41:53
Speaker
It's kind of sick.
00:41:55
Speaker
Based off of like food, venue, dress, like overall vibe, different things.
00:42:00
Speaker
But and then they like average out the scores.
00:42:03
Speaker
But somehow they make it so that you can't like score everybody low.
00:42:08
Speaker
I don't know.
00:42:09
Speaker
There's some restriction there.
00:42:10
Speaker
OK, there is another show I heard of recently where the.
00:42:15
Speaker
the groom is given a budget and the bride is not allowed to know anything he's planning for the wedding.
00:42:21
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:42:22
Speaker
That sounds terrifying.
00:42:24
Speaker
I mean that for weddings, that sounds like a show I'd watch in a hotel.
00:42:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:29
Speaker
She was like, you've never seen the show.
00:42:30
Speaker
And we turn it on.
00:42:31
Speaker
It was like, these are maybe the meanest women I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:42:38
Speaker
Was it bridezilla?
00:42:39
Speaker
Is that what I'm thinking of?
00:42:40
Speaker
Wasn't that a TLC or HGTV show?
00:42:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:43
Speaker
Do you want to say your hotel movie?
00:42:45
Speaker
I would say a funny hotel moment, movie moment.
00:42:48
Speaker
Okay, please.
00:42:49
Speaker
The night Joe and I got married, we stayed in a hotel afterwards and we watched Catfish, the documentary.
00:42:56
Speaker
Yes, because it was on and we were like, I've never seen this.
00:43:00
Speaker
Do you want to watch it?
00:43:01
Speaker
They didn't consecrate their marriage, folks.
00:43:03
Speaker
They just watched Catfish.
00:43:05
Speaker
We, I mean, we truly like, we turned it on and was like, what?
00:43:08
Speaker
I don't even know.
00:43:08
Speaker
This show is like fine, I guess.
00:43:10
Speaker
I've never seen this movie.
00:43:12
Speaker
And then we're watching it going, holy shit, this is incredible.
00:43:15
Speaker
I've never seen the movie either.
00:43:17
Speaker
I haven't either.
00:43:18
Speaker
It's still Neve doing reporting.
00:43:21
Speaker
Cool.
00:43:23
Speaker
They did this documentary.
00:43:24
Speaker
It's him getting catfished?
00:43:26
Speaker
No.
00:43:27
Speaker
I don't remember exactly what it is, but it's Neve's friend that is getting catfished.
00:43:34
Speaker
I don't know.
00:43:35
Speaker
Basically, they go to where the person is and confront them.
00:43:39
Speaker
It's normal catfish shit, but it's happening to them.
00:43:44
Speaker
and like it feels more oh shit my fucking stupid bitch cat it feels more like the stakes are higher because they're not just like making fun of these people getting catfished they're the ones getting catfished and it's much sadder because like the ending is like genuinely pretty heartbreaking and
00:44:05
Speaker
But it's a good documentary.
00:44:07
Speaker
I feel like it won Sundance and South By.
00:44:10
Speaker
Hold on.
00:44:11
Speaker
Wait, I have seen this because me and two of my friends in college were obsessed with Catfish.
00:44:15
Speaker
So we were watching it all the time.
00:44:18
Speaker
That's great.
00:44:20
Speaker
That's so sick.
00:44:23
Speaker
Guys, did you know that Bridezilla's has 280 episodes?
00:44:29
Speaker
Most of these TLC shows are like One Piece for white women.
00:44:34
Speaker
Four weddings, 142 episodes.
00:44:36
Speaker
No, it's not One Piece, Joe.
00:44:38
Speaker
It's One Piece.
00:44:39
Speaker
One Piece.
00:44:40
Speaker
The One Piece is rule!
00:44:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:43
Speaker
Okay, is it my double pick again?
00:44:45
Speaker
Yeah, it's your turn.
00:44:46
Speaker
Okay.
00:44:46
Speaker
I'm going to do- Can you draft one piece?
00:44:49
Speaker
No, that is not a good hotel room thing because I'm fucking locked into that shit.
00:44:53
Speaker
I have to be in the right mind space.
00:44:54
Speaker
I have to like, lights off.
00:44:57
Speaker
No outside substances.
00:44:59
Speaker
I'm not even eating.
00:45:00
Speaker
I'm just feasting.
00:45:00
Speaker
Lights off, pants off.
00:45:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:45:02
Speaker
Stretchy.
00:45:03
Speaker
Nami comes on screen, instant.
00:45:05
Speaker
Joe, are these your last two picks?
00:45:08
Speaker
I believe so.
00:45:08
Speaker
I believe so.
00:45:09
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:11
Speaker
I'm going to go TV show first because I want to have some fanfare for director here.
00:45:18
Speaker
TV show.
00:45:19
Speaker
The Simpsons.
00:45:21
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
00:45:22
Speaker
It had to be shouted out.
00:45:24
Speaker
100%.
00:45:24
Speaker
It's perfect for the hotel room because it doesn't matter what season.
00:45:27
Speaker
Even the shitty seasons, it's still funny.
00:45:31
Speaker
You're hoping it's a season three, season four, maybe season five, but you'll be happy that it's on because you know, you know deep in your heart that you're going to learn a valuable family lesson at the end of every episode.
00:45:47
Speaker
And the lesson might be that Homer needs a damn beer in a donut.
00:45:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:45:52
Speaker
He often does.
00:45:53
Speaker
At the end of the day, he's doing it for her.
00:45:56
Speaker
Hold on.
00:45:57
Speaker
Hold on.
00:45:57
Speaker
Keep talking.
00:45:59
Speaker
Does Red have Simpsons memorabilia that he's going to show us?
00:46:02
Speaker
Probably so.
00:46:03
Speaker
I think he's got a Duff beer.
00:46:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:05
Speaker
What is that?
00:46:09
Speaker
This is Homer drawn by one of the artists who is currently working on The Simpsons.
00:46:14
Speaker
Beautiful.
00:46:15
Speaker
Oh, that's sick.
00:46:16
Speaker
Dope.
00:46:16
Speaker
I love it.
00:46:17
Speaker
He's at idrawhomer on Instagram.
00:46:20
Speaker
Shout out to my dear friend, Will Suarez, who told his buddy that I'm a huge Simpsons fan.
00:46:26
Speaker
So very sweet gift.
00:46:27
Speaker
That's adorable.
00:46:28
Speaker
My favorite part on The Simpsons is when Bart also says dope because it's like, oh, he's just like his dad.
00:46:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:37
Speaker
It's such a good little touch.
00:46:39
Speaker
But also, Icaramba is classic.
00:46:41
Speaker
Icaramba.
00:46:42
Speaker
I mean, eat my shorts.
00:46:42
Speaker
Come on.
00:46:43
Speaker
What are we talking about?
00:46:43
Speaker
He's got a million.
00:46:45
Speaker
He's got heaters.
00:46:47
Speaker
And frankly, he's got shooters.
00:46:49
Speaker
Let's be real.
00:46:50
Speaker
He's a Bart Simpson guy.
00:46:52
Speaker
He's got fucking... What the fuck is the kid's name?
00:46:57
Speaker
Milhouse.
00:46:58
Speaker
He's got Milhouse.
00:46:59
Speaker
He's got Milhouse.
00:47:01
Speaker
I don't know.
00:47:01
Speaker
I just thought about the episode where Bart goes to the school for genius kids.
00:47:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:06
Speaker
Legendary early Simpsons episode.
00:47:08
Speaker
Dude, fucking Great Escape episode where Maggie goes to the utilitarian preschool and everything is like, what's that fucking shitty writer's name?
00:47:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:22
Speaker
Ayn Rand.
00:47:23
Speaker
Ayn Rand.
00:47:23
Speaker
Everything is Ayn Rand themed.
00:47:24
Speaker
It's an Ayn Rand themed daycare.
00:47:26
Speaker
Very funny.
00:47:27
Speaker
Austin, I'm so proud of you for pulling that because he was like, what's that shitty writer?
00:47:31
Speaker
And honestly, I was just dreading that Joe was going to be like Aldous Huxley or like genuinely great writer.
00:47:37
Speaker
He had said utilitarian.
00:47:38
Speaker
I was like, okay, we're probably talking about that.
00:47:41
Speaker
I had left some context breadcrumbs.
00:47:43
Speaker
I don't know what any of those words mean.
00:47:45
Speaker
Shit, my headphones don't look like that.
00:47:47
Speaker
Joe, I'll be honest.
00:47:48
Speaker
I, um, Simpsons is on my long list.
00:47:53
Speaker
This doesn't matter.
00:47:54
Speaker
Cause Joe had his headphones off.
00:47:55
Speaker
Okay.
00:47:55
Speaker
I'm back.
00:47:56
Speaker
Did you make, no, I was, I was starting to respond to your pick and then you, uh, had a headphone issue.
00:48:03
Speaker
So Simpsons is on my long list, but another one that was on my long list that I felt beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were going to take, uh, was going to be King of the Hill.
00:48:13
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I watched it all the time.
00:48:15
Speaker
So it's like a special in the hotel.
00:48:18
Speaker
That's like a little treat.
00:48:20
Speaker
I read the I listen to King of the Hill like it's a podcast.
00:48:23
Speaker
Sometimes I'll just put it in my ear and put the phone in my pocket.
00:48:27
Speaker
I respect it.
00:48:28
Speaker
I really do.
00:48:29
Speaker
It's full of great voice performances.
00:48:31
Speaker
I used to do that with a little bit hotter.
00:48:34
Speaker
I'm going to kick your ass.
00:48:39
Speaker
What are you doing up there, Bill?
00:48:41
Speaker
I'm just up here to kill myself.
00:48:42
Speaker
My favorite line from that episode, though, is when Peggy goes, you know who I feel the most sorry for?
00:48:49
Speaker
Bill.
00:48:51
Speaker
He needs to see a psychiatrist.
00:48:53
Speaker
And Hank goes, psychiatrist?
00:48:55
Speaker
Peggy?
00:48:55
Speaker
He's suicidal, not crazy.
00:49:02
Speaker
Oh, what a show.
00:49:03
Speaker
Okay, so here we go.
00:49:05
Speaker
I wanted a little fanfare for director because I went through so many fucking picks in my head that I was like, dude, who do I even pick for this?
00:49:14
Speaker
My first thought was Verhoeven because I feel like
00:49:19
Speaker
Starship Troopers and RoboCop are like pre-hotel room movies, but most Veerholmen flicks are weird and sexy and horny, and I just feel like they're not going to show those on TV, or at least in a way that I would appreciate watching them.
00:49:32
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:49:33
Speaker
And then I thought, and then I thought Sam Raimi,
00:49:38
Speaker
But the movies that I really want to see are like the really gross, violent ones like Drag Me to Hell, Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2.
00:49:46
Speaker
Heart of Darkness, less so.
00:49:47
Speaker
You can show that in a hotel room.
00:49:48
Speaker
Army of Darkness.
00:49:49
Speaker
Army of Darkness.
00:49:50
Speaker
Sorry, not Heart of Darkness.
00:49:51
Speaker
That's the Joseph Conrad guy over here.
00:49:53
Speaker
Yeah, big Conrad guy over here.
00:49:55
Speaker
You're just going to end up watching Multiverse of Madness.
00:49:58
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:49:59
Speaker
I believe it'd be Mommyverse of Milkers.
00:50:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:50:03
Speaker
This led me to my pick, which he has a lot of gross, violent, gory shit, but they're all of every single one of them.
00:50:10
Speaker
I feel like can be censored in a way that is hotel friendly is a Texas native.
00:50:15
Speaker
Mr. Robert Rodriguez.
00:50:17
Speaker
Yeah, it's a great one.
00:50:19
Speaker
You can do the whole Mexico trilogy.
00:50:21
Speaker
You could watch on FX.
00:50:24
Speaker
They'll cut out anything they need to cut out.
00:50:26
Speaker
Spy Kids one and two and three.
00:50:28
Speaker
Great hotel room movies.
00:50:29
Speaker
Great hotel room.
00:50:30
Speaker
The battle angel.
00:50:31
Speaker
I fucking love Alita Battle Angel.
00:50:33
Speaker
It's great.
00:50:34
Speaker
I'll die on that hill.
00:50:35
Speaker
Never seen it.
00:50:36
Speaker
It's good.
00:50:37
Speaker
Even his like shitty ones are pretty fun.
00:50:39
Speaker
Like you turn them on, you're like, I'm going to finish this.
00:50:42
Speaker
Yo, fuck Machete 2 though.
00:50:45
Speaker
I have not seen any of these.
00:50:46
Speaker
Number one machete kills hater.
00:50:48
Speaker
Would you watch Sharkboy and Lava Girl?
00:50:52
Speaker
I've watched that on a whim.
00:50:53
Speaker
Yeah, of course I've watched it in a hotel.
00:50:55
Speaker
It's Joe.
00:50:56
Speaker
He watches Dog Piss all the time.
00:50:59
Speaker
I do.
00:51:00
Speaker
Zach bought me Sharkboy and Lovegirl on Blu-ray.
00:51:02
Speaker
I was so touched.
00:51:03
Speaker
Dream, dream, dream.
00:51:06
Speaker
Wow, good for you.
00:51:08
Speaker
That's fantastic.
00:51:11
Speaker
Also, what's the teacher's name?
00:51:17
Speaker
Mr. Watts or something?
00:51:19
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:51:20
Speaker
And then he becomes the electric guy in the alternate dimension.
00:51:22
Speaker
Yeah, he goes, Mr. Watts, Linus is playing with my dream journal.
00:51:28
Speaker
You have really good recall of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
00:51:32
Speaker
I do love this movie.
00:51:33
Speaker
I think it's because I had a massive crush on Shark or Lavagirl when I was young.
00:51:37
Speaker
On Sharkboy.
00:51:38
Speaker
On young, what's his name?
00:51:40
Speaker
Taylor.
00:51:41
Speaker
Well, the best part about Taylor Lautner's performance in this movie is that he does so many flips.
00:51:47
Speaker
He does a crazy amount of flips.
00:51:49
Speaker
This guy does so many flips.
00:51:50
Speaker
Did you guys see the clip of him going to the Eros Tour film and just being in a theater with... It's like him and his wife.
00:52:01
Speaker
Yeah, at a bunch of Swifties.
00:52:02
Speaker
At a bunch of Swifties, and he's just doing flips in the front.
00:52:06
Speaker
Also, can you imagine being Taylor Lautner's... This is weird.
00:52:09
Speaker
Can you imagine being Taylor Lautner's wife, where Taylor Lautner shows up and is like, Hey...
00:52:13
Speaker
Those four songs?
00:52:15
Speaker
About me.
00:52:16
Speaker
That's about me, motherfucker.
00:52:17
Speaker
His wife's name is also Taylor Lautner.
00:52:20
Speaker
Yes, I forgot about this.
00:52:21
Speaker
Thank you, Austin.
00:52:22
Speaker
Which is hilarious.
00:52:23
Speaker
Good God.
00:52:24
Speaker
Oh, the Taylor Lautners are coming.
00:52:26
Speaker
Fuck.
00:52:26
Speaker
They're coming.
00:52:26
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:52:27
Speaker
My other honorable mention for a TV show besides The Simpsons was Pawn Stars.
00:52:34
Speaker
Yeah, I was thinking about Storage Wars, too.
00:52:36
Speaker
Storage Wars is great.
00:52:37
Speaker
Maddie and I just watched Storage Wars in a hotel room, and it was fucking fantastic.
00:52:40
Speaker
It's so fun.
00:52:41
Speaker
I watched it in the hotel room with Bridget recently.
00:52:43
Speaker
Yeah, it's a great time.
00:52:44
Speaker
Thanks.
00:52:46
Speaker
My last pick for wild card.
00:52:53
Speaker
A person I'm always delighted to see in a hotel room.
00:52:57
Speaker
Scott Van Pelt.
00:52:59
Speaker
oh hell yeah hell yeah is my wild card pick is joe looking up with scott van peltis yes i probably know his face and i don't know his name he's a late night sports center anchor um he he does stuff throughout the day too but i feel like oftentimes like like later block after like the games are over you catch your svp segment
00:53:24
Speaker
And that's another just sort of like default for me in a hotel room.
00:53:30
Speaker
Just SportsCenter.
00:53:30
Speaker
Just turn on SportsCenter.
00:53:32
Speaker
Catch up with what's good.
00:53:32
Speaker
Especially if there's another person.
00:53:34
Speaker
And I don't want to watch my 600-pound life because like I'm with my brother or friends.
00:53:38
Speaker
It's like just turn on SportsCenter.
00:53:40
Speaker
We'll catch all the highlights.
00:53:41
Speaker
You can see the top plays.
00:53:42
Speaker
For some reason, sorry, I don't mean to interrupt you.
00:53:45
Speaker
I feel like Andy would have a like almost Werner Herzogian appreciation for my 600 pound life.
00:53:51
Speaker
Like he'd be like, oh, he definitely would.
00:53:53
Speaker
The human element of this show is so like these are real people struggling.
00:53:59
Speaker
The reason I can't watch with him is I want to talk about it too much.
00:54:02
Speaker
He wants to hypothesize and wax poetic.
00:54:06
Speaker
He wants to get into their trauma.
00:54:08
Speaker
And I'm like, I just want to watch.
00:54:09
Speaker
Can we just watch?
00:54:10
Speaker
You guys have heard the Herzog Honey Boo Boo rant before, right?
00:54:14
Speaker
Oh, of course.
00:54:14
Speaker
Honey Boo Boo.
00:54:15
Speaker
Honey Boo Boo.
00:54:16
Speaker
Is American tragedy.
00:54:23
Speaker
I would like to see the fat American child.
00:54:29
Speaker
Yeah, I just think maybe 10 years ago, another person, rest in peace, I would have said Stuart Scott.
00:54:36
Speaker
He was my guy.
00:54:37
Speaker
I loved him.
00:54:40
Speaker
But there's a lot of ESPN guys that I could go with, down to Buster Olney.
00:54:46
Speaker
I'm happy to see Buster Olney.
00:54:49
Speaker
I got Buster Olney for your ID.
00:54:51
Speaker
Okay.
00:54:54
Speaker
um call my dick a buster a buster um my dick buster old knee um i don't know what that means uh but i uh you're talking about a knee job yeah knee job um but yeah i'm i'm going sports center specifically scott van pelt as my wild card nice amazing red you uh you just have wild card left as well right yep
00:55:19
Speaker
The action movie that we all left off the table and we're all wrong for doing so is Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
00:55:26
Speaker
Oh, it's on the list.
00:55:27
Speaker
It's on the list.
00:55:28
Speaker
It's a whole time.
00:55:30
Speaker
That toes the line between action and pornography.
00:55:33
Speaker
Yeah, that's true.
00:55:37
Speaker
Which I think is a very important line to toe.
00:55:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:39
Speaker
Here's the thing.
00:55:40
Speaker
And a tug, maybe.
00:55:41
Speaker
And a tug.
00:55:42
Speaker
I just want the therapy scenes.
00:55:45
Speaker
I think there's good action.
00:55:48
Speaker
I like that movie a lot.
00:55:49
Speaker
I find it terrifically fun.
00:55:51
Speaker
It's one that if it's on, I'll just have it on.
00:55:54
Speaker
The therapy scenes are by far the best part of the movie.
00:55:57
Speaker
And the parts that I find most enjoyable and hilarious.
00:56:02
Speaker
This guy watches porn for the plot.
00:56:04
Speaker
Yeah, this guy watches porn for the plot.
00:56:06
Speaker
What can I say?
00:56:08
Speaker
I agree with Austin.
00:56:09
Speaker
I wish Mr. and Mrs. Smith was rated R and we got to see more fucking.
00:56:13
Speaker
That would be great.
00:56:14
Speaker
It should have been written R. Let's be honest.
00:56:17
Speaker
PG-13 is a pussy rating for Ms.
00:56:18
Speaker
Winsman.
00:56:19
Speaker
I'm just saying.
00:56:19
Speaker
That's what the P stands for.
00:56:22
Speaker
I'm sorry, Austin.
00:56:23
Speaker
I'm so sorry.
00:56:24
Speaker
There should not be pussy anywhere near the number 13.
00:56:27
Speaker
I'm just going to throw that out there.
00:56:32
Speaker
So, no, that is not what the P stands for in PG-13.
00:56:35
Speaker
I'm just going to fucking stop that right here because PGW is anti-pedophile.
00:56:40
Speaker
Speaking of that, PFT commentator tweeted today that a Drake is getting close to a sweet 16 out there at the moment.
00:56:52
Speaker
That's really good.
00:56:54
Speaker
Anyways, wild card.
00:56:56
Speaker
I'm going to set a scene here.
00:56:59
Speaker
You're laying in your bed.
00:57:00
Speaker
It's about 2.36 a.m.
00:57:05
Speaker
You turn the TV off already, but you still cannot go to sleep.
00:57:09
Speaker
You got your phone out on YouTube and you were watching primitive technology.
00:57:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:57:15
Speaker
Banger.
00:57:16
Speaker
Banger.
00:57:16
Speaker
You're watching a guy with Asperger's in the woods build shelters and knickknacks and doodads for hours on end.
00:57:24
Speaker
Dude, got a shout out.
00:57:25
Speaker
If we're talking about that, we got a shout out outdoor boys.
00:57:28
Speaker
Outdoor boys.
00:57:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:30
Speaker
No one.
00:57:30
Speaker
No.
00:57:31
Speaker
Primitive technology, I think, clears outdoor boys.
00:57:34
Speaker
None of my male peers have gone without seeing a primitive technology video at some point.
00:57:40
Speaker
Oh, of course.
00:57:41
Speaker
Of course.
00:57:42
Speaker
It's like a rumspringer.
00:57:43
Speaker
It's like everyone must do it.
00:57:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:45
Speaker
You know, at some point.
00:57:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:49
Speaker
I think I revealed this on New Year's Eve, but if I open my Facebook app on my phone, like the only videos served to me are POV rollercoaster videos.
00:57:59
Speaker
Oh, cool.
00:58:00
Speaker
Oh, dude.
00:58:01
Speaker
I was on Reddit earlier on the...
00:58:04
Speaker
mildly infuriating page, which is just one of the ones that I'm subscribed to because I think it's funny.
00:58:08
Speaker
And one of the people was like, it sucks that Facebook is just like a softcore porn site now and he's scrolling through his reels and it was just like softcore porn basically.
00:58:17
Speaker
And I wanted to comment, hey, buddy, it serves you what you click on.
00:58:23
Speaker
That's how an algorithm works, pal.
00:58:26
Speaker
And my algorithm is log flumes and roller coasters, bro.
00:58:30
Speaker
Hey, man.
00:58:30
Speaker
So sick.
00:58:31
Speaker
My algorithm on Facebook is just those.
00:58:33
Speaker
Do you guys know Zach D films?
00:58:35
Speaker
Yeah, I've seen it.
00:58:36
Speaker
It's like it's like I generated videos of like horrific construction accidents.
00:58:42
Speaker
Oh, fantastic.
00:58:43
Speaker
It's like, the man got his tie stuck in an industrial shredder.
00:58:48
Speaker
The man tried to get it out, but it was not enough.
00:58:51
Speaker
He was sucked neck first into a shredder.
00:58:55
Speaker
I want to be sucked neck first.
00:58:57
Speaker
Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:59:00
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:59:04
Speaker
My Facebook algorithm is a lot of people, like, they look like they're going to be life hack videos, and then they just end up being, like, entirely useless.
00:59:14
Speaker
Like Dharman?
00:59:15
Speaker
No, yeah.
00:59:16
Speaker
Dharman?
00:59:17
Speaker
But it's always, like, life hack videos where somebody's, like, cutting, like, a plastic water bottle in half with, like, a bandsaw.
00:59:24
Speaker
Like, it's, like, shit like that.
00:59:25
Speaker
Have you seen the life hack videos that are basically, like, weird fetish porn, too?
00:59:30
Speaker
Like, those are crazy.
00:59:31
Speaker
What?
00:59:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:32
Speaker
Yeah, so they have these life hack videos where it's very clearly... It's like, how to make a campfire out of a tuna can or whatever.
00:59:39
Speaker
It's like a normal life hack video.
00:59:40
Speaker
But the woman doing it is nipping underneath her sports bra very clearly.
00:59:46
Speaker
And I'm like, guys, just watch porn.
00:59:50
Speaker
It's free on the internet.
00:59:52
Speaker
The misdirection life hack ones are funny, though, because they're such a genius...
00:59:58
Speaker
algorithm play because if you're cutting a water bottle with a bandsaw everyone is going to fucking comment why are you cutting a water bottle with a bandsaw it's rage bait it's clickbait it's awesome I love rage bait on Facebook too because it'll say something like Pulp Fiction is two stars out of five I hate this movie or whatever and all the comments are like what the fuck are you talking about you fucking idiot you suck you're stupid
01:00:25
Speaker
And then they get paid $1,000 by Elon Musk.
01:00:28
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:29
Speaker
No, Facebook is Zuckerberg.
01:00:31
Speaker
You know what he means.
01:00:36
Speaker
Same Nazi, different asshole.
01:00:38
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
01:00:40
Speaker
Both robots.
01:00:41
Speaker
Both robots.
01:00:43
Speaker
Man, I wish I got more creative with my wild card.
01:00:46
Speaker
My wild card was just movies that I didn't feel like fit into specific categories.
01:00:50
Speaker
That's great.
01:00:51
Speaker
I had plenty of those too.
01:00:52
Speaker
So I'll just read my wild card list before I tell you.
01:00:55
Speaker
Yeah, go for it.
01:00:57
Speaker
I'll read the two that are not on my three.
01:01:00
Speaker
Because I drafted McTiernan is why I'm not going to draft the Thomas Crown affair.
01:01:04
Speaker
It didn't fit cleanly into any other categories.
01:01:07
Speaker
And Austin on my list was 2006 to 2009 SportsCenter top 10.
01:01:10
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:10
Speaker
Yeah, totally.
01:01:10
Speaker
Love that.
01:01:15
Speaker
like a very specific age range of like being old enough to care about sports and understand sports, but still like I had not seen every iteration of what can happen.
01:01:27
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:27
Speaker
Like on a baseball, like in a baseball diamond, like I had not seen every iteration of a three point shot or a dunk or a touchdown.
01:01:36
Speaker
Like it was just, it felt new.
01:01:38
Speaker
Top 10 was so important.
01:01:40
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:40
Speaker
You, you weren't a jaded old man is what you're saying.
01:01:43
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:44
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:45
Speaker
It was appointment viewing.
01:01:46
Speaker
It was.
01:01:47
Speaker
I think men of a certain age is like, that's what we know.
01:01:52
Speaker
But I will be taking a movie in my wild card because it really didn't fit cleanly, though you guys might say that my action movie is less of an action movie than this one.
01:02:02
Speaker
But it's the movie I've seen more than any other.
01:02:04
Speaker
It is Ocean's Eleven.
01:02:05
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:07
Speaker
Soderbergh was second.
01:02:08
Speaker
Soderbergh was also in my director's conversation.
01:02:11
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:12
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:13
Speaker
I felt Wildcard is so broad that I really felt confident that I was going to get it.
01:02:17
Speaker
But this is part of the reason why I've seen it so many times is both I would watch it on car trips with my parents.
01:02:25
Speaker
I had a portable DVD player and it would often be the only one that I brought with me on a car trip.
01:02:31
Speaker
And I would just literally just run it back.
01:02:34
Speaker
But also, I mean, it's a TNT classic.
01:02:38
Speaker
There was a period where it was kind of like, not like the movie channel, not like HBO or Cinemax or anything like that, but like literally the movie channel would play, would do like Oceans Marathons.
01:02:50
Speaker
Either Bravo or E!
01:02:52
Speaker
used to do an Oceans Marathon.
01:02:53
Speaker
Yeah, I think it was E!
01:02:55
Speaker
I think it was E!
01:02:56
Speaker
Like it was...
01:02:58
Speaker
Honest to God, if the stars aligned, you could probably watch a Soderbergh Oceans film on four separate channels at once.
01:03:07
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
01:03:07
Speaker
They're that watchable.
01:03:08
Speaker
People just want to watch those movies.
01:03:10
Speaker
Yeah.
01:03:11
Speaker
You turn it on and you're just sucked in because it's so well made and so thoughtfully crafted.
01:03:16
Speaker
Every shot kind of makes you lean forward a little bit more.
01:03:19
Speaker
Yeah.
01:03:21
Speaker
I almost went trilogy and wild card.
01:03:23
Speaker
Yeah.
01:03:23
Speaker
Like any of that.
01:03:24
Speaker
That'd have been really, that'd have been like delighted.
01:03:27
Speaker
I would have been crushed.
01:03:28
Speaker
Um, but I, I, yeah, I think that, and it's, it's a real great one.
01:03:36
Speaker
If you've seen it, if you're watching for the first time, you got to lock in yada, yada, yada.
01:03:39
Speaker
But,
01:03:40
Speaker
it moves so briskly.
01:03:44
Speaker
And you, like, one of the great constructions of storytelling is that, like, from the start of... Basically, once they have the team together and then they start planning, is you don't really realize that the entire movie has taken place by the time that they leave the casino.
01:03:58
Speaker
Yep.
01:03:59
Speaker
You're like, oh, fuck.
01:04:00
Speaker
Oh, fuck, the movie's over.
01:04:02
Speaker
Like, you're like, oh, shit.
01:04:04
Speaker
Like, Danny's about to go back to jail.
01:04:06
Speaker
Like, it moves so quickly that...
01:04:10
Speaker
And then it's over and you're just like locked in.
01:04:12
Speaker
Did she just say he doesn't make me cry?
01:04:18
Speaker
I like I totally agree with you.
01:04:19
Speaker
Right.
01:04:20
Speaker
It's a great it's a great pick.
01:04:21
Speaker
And it's one of those movies, too, where I'm like you.
01:04:24
Speaker
It's one of the movies I've seen most of my life.
01:04:26
Speaker
I know every beat of it.
01:04:27
Speaker
So I know when I want to be locked in.
01:04:30
Speaker
I know when to look up when Danny Ocean goes, I'll have a whiskey and a whiskey.
01:04:36
Speaker
That I want to see.
01:04:37
Speaker
I want to see Bernie Mac say, Denim like the Gene.
01:04:40
Speaker
Denim like the Gene.
01:04:42
Speaker
I want to see the fucking handshake scene where he strong arms the car dealer.
01:04:48
Speaker
And I need that in my life.
01:04:50
Speaker
I want to see Scott Kahn and Affleck on the racetrack every single time.
01:04:55
Speaker
Yep.
01:04:55
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
01:04:56
Speaker
I also want to see them when he's at the van dealership and they're outside bouncing the vans.
01:05:02
Speaker
Dude, this is... I mean, we could just have a PGW segment of let's name scenes from the Ocean franchise.
01:05:09
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
01:05:11
Speaker
It's the best.
01:05:11
Speaker
It's the best.
01:05:12
Speaker
I totally agree.
01:05:13
Speaker
I know it by heart.
01:05:15
Speaker
Let me give a shout real quick to a movie I watched in a hotel room recently or I watched the last 30 minutes of that I just think is funny and Zach will appreciate it.
01:05:23
Speaker
I caught Chris McQuarrie's Reacher movie.
01:05:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
01:05:29
Speaker
At a hotel room.
01:05:30
Speaker
With TC.
01:05:31
Speaker
Yeah, with TC.
01:05:31
Speaker
Are you thinking of Jack Reacher or Jack Reacher Never Go Back?
01:05:35
Speaker
Yeah, there's two.
01:05:35
Speaker
No, it was the first one.
01:05:37
Speaker
Okay.
01:05:38
Speaker
And I was watching it going, this is... McQuarrie has it, first of all.
01:05:42
Speaker
He's a great, like, glue guy director.
01:05:45
Speaker
Like, he just kind of, like...
01:05:47
Speaker
He knows how to direct an action scene.
01:05:49
Speaker
He makes it slick.
01:05:50
Speaker
He knows how to direct a cool-looking conversation.
01:05:53
Speaker
He's a really good writer, so he can kind of get in there.
01:05:55
Speaker
He's a great writer.
01:05:56
Speaker
Yeah, his Mission Impossible movies.
01:05:58
Speaker
I mean, there's a reason why they had different directors until McQuarrie, and they're like, let's just let McQuarrie do it.
01:06:03
Speaker
Let's let him finish it.
01:06:04
Speaker
And...
01:06:07
Speaker
But the funny thing about Jack Reacher, Tom Cruise version is that when they describe Reacher as a man who can kill a guy in one punch and then it cuts to Tom Cruise, you're like, yeah, interesting.
01:06:20
Speaker
But then when you watch the Amazon Prime show and they go, Reacher can kill a guy in one punch and they cut to Alan Richardson, you're like, I mean, yeah.
01:06:26
Speaker
Dude, yeah, I might talk Reacher some more in our highs, lows.
01:06:30
Speaker
So speaking of Reacher and dad cinema, my dad loves movies, but my dad does not go to the theater often.
01:06:37
Speaker
Fair.
01:06:38
Speaker
Unless it is like an action movie.
01:06:40
Speaker
He refuses to go for a comedy or a drama.
01:06:44
Speaker
I don't think he went to the theater for Oppenheimer.
01:06:47
Speaker
Just all sorts of shit he'll just skip in the theater.
01:06:49
Speaker
However, Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher never go back.
01:06:53
Speaker
My dad was fired up for it.
01:06:55
Speaker
I really liked the movie.
01:06:57
Speaker
I want to say that I don't watch that.
01:06:58
Speaker
It's fine.
01:06:59
Speaker
I'm not talking shit about Jack Reacher.
01:07:01
Speaker
I just think it's funny that Tom Cruise was to play the most, like Lee Childs' most hulking man.
01:07:06
Speaker
Werner Herzog is fourth build in that film, Zach.
01:07:10
Speaker
That's sick.
01:07:11
Speaker
Werner Herzog is fourth build in Jack Reacher.
01:07:14
Speaker
Yep.
01:07:14
Speaker
Really?
01:07:14
Speaker
Yeah.
01:07:15
Speaker
That's sick.
01:07:16
Speaker
Incredible.
01:07:17
Speaker
I love that.
01:07:17
Speaker
My dad... What's funny is my dad had read one Jack Reacher book before he went and saw it.
01:07:24
Speaker
And he walked out and he was like, you know, he plays the detective part well, but Tom Cruise is not really the guy you want to be Jack Reacher.
01:07:33
Speaker
Yeah, but he's right.
01:07:35
Speaker
That's why I never watched him.
01:07:37
Speaker
It's one of the funniest, like...
01:07:40
Speaker
Lee Child, I've never read any Lee Child books, but the way that he's like, yeah, he's simultaneously like military police and the world's greatest detective, and he could punch your head smooth off in the parlance of Joe Hayes.
01:07:54
Speaker
It's so cool because it is the exact book that I would have written as a 12-year-old.
01:08:00
Speaker
Yeah.
01:08:01
Speaker
And given the proper love...
01:08:05
Speaker
It is just so fun to watch because you just watch the biggest guy you've ever seen kill 12 dudes in a bathroom in a prison.
01:08:15
Speaker
And then the very next scene, he's laying smooth pipe to a townie, like a country bumpkin, feisty little thing in the next scene.
01:08:29
Speaker
And then he's like at the crime scene going,
01:08:33
Speaker
I can tell by the blood splatter that the gun was a Remington blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:08:38
Speaker
And you're like, dude, can this guy do anything wrong?
01:08:41
Speaker
He can do anything he wants.
01:08:42
Speaker
Dude, the third season, so one of the bad guys is...
01:08:47
Speaker
giant and like the whole bit is that Reacher finally met someone bigger than him.
01:08:52
Speaker
I thought they were doing some camera magic.
01:08:54
Speaker
That motherfucker is actually seven foot two.
01:08:56
Speaker
Whoa.
01:08:59
Speaker
They had like a whole casting thing where like, well, how do we get someone bigger than Richson?
01:09:03
Speaker
And then there's one specific scene where he's standing next to Richson and it's, they, they do have some camera magic on that part because it's shot low, but yeah,
01:09:13
Speaker
It's insane.
01:09:14
Speaker
He's like in a foyer of a mansion and this man is towering inside.
01:09:18
Speaker
That's so sick.
01:09:19
Speaker
I also just got a shout out.
01:09:20
Speaker
I fucking love Alan Richardson, by the way.
01:09:22
Speaker
He's like a white dude, Christian, cisgender male who also loves gay people, hates cops.
01:09:30
Speaker
His arch nemesis is Matt Gaetz.
01:09:33
Speaker
Yeah, his arch nemesis is Matt Gaetz.
01:09:34
Speaker
He's a huge wife guy.
01:09:36
Speaker
He loves talking about his wife and his king.
01:09:38
Speaker
Ballet guy.
01:09:38
Speaker
Ballet guy.
01:09:39
Speaker
I quit by Sinchel earlier, yeah.
01:09:41
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
01:09:41
Speaker
He's a mensch.
01:09:43
Speaker
I just love hearing him talk.
01:09:44
Speaker
He's a good cat, man.
01:09:44
Speaker
Yeah.
01:09:45
Speaker
Y'all know who the biggest Lee Child fan I know is?

Speaker

01:09:48
Speaker

01:09:49
Speaker

01:10:08
Speaker
There was this, there's this, Maddie and I have been rewatching Schitt's Creek, which is just lovely.
01:10:12
Speaker
But there's a scene where Eugene Levy walks into the, the lobby where there's a TV and there's three dudes just sitting in there watching Aaron Brockovich.
01:10:21
Speaker
Yeah.
01:10:24
Speaker
He just like walks up to the TV and goes, has she broken up with her boyfriend yet?
01:10:28
Speaker
And they go, no.
01:10:30
Speaker
And he goes, oh, man.
01:10:33
Speaker
That's like the hotel room movie ethos right there.

It's like, oh, has this even happened yet?

Oh, OK.

Yeah, Crocodile Hunter.
01:14:15
Speaker
Ancient Aliens, bro.

Speaker
Ancient Aliens, yeah.
01:14:18
Speaker
Ancient Aliens is sick.
01:14:19
Speaker
That whole three channels, they're right next to each other.
01:14:21
Speaker
It's like History, Animal Planet
Comforting TV Show Discussions
01:14:23
Speaker
Discovery Channel.
01:14:23
Speaker
Forensics Files.
01:14:25
Speaker
You had, anytime you clicked on one of those channels, you had three hours of content that you could watch and you could learn something.
01:14:32
Speaker
It would be awesome.
01:14:34
Speaker
It might even make you laugh.
01:14:35
Speaker
It might even make you a little horny.
01:14:38
Speaker
When Carrie comes on screen and makes us do something when it comes to normal cable.
01:14:45
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
01:14:46
Speaker
Let's get back to an era.
01:14:47
Speaker
My closest honorable mention on TV.
01:14:51
Speaker
My honorable mention on TV, my number one was SVU.
01:14:54
Speaker
Yes.
01:14:55
Speaker
Like just just comforting.
01:14:57
Speaker
Like, yes, upsetting often, but like just the vibes like and I got to feeling that way about just talking about Detective Munch about homicide life on the street where like, you know, a lot of like I would just turn it on right before bed at home.
01:15:12
Speaker
Like and there's something about the rhythms of it, however upsetting it may be that I find extremely comforting.
01:15:17
Speaker
Yeah, Ice, we're in the sex crimes division.
01:15:22
Speaker
Yes, Ice, he's a pedophile.
01:15:24
Speaker
You tell me this guy likes little girls with pigtails.
01:15:28
Speaker
I've only really got two like shouts.
01:15:30
Speaker
I got to make, um,
01:15:33
Speaker
Unsolved Mysteries was up there on my TV show.
01:15:35
Speaker
40-Year-Old Virgin and Old School were two that I was... Any Apatow joint you can throw on.
01:15:43
Speaker
Yeah, any Apatow.
01:15:44
Speaker
I'll go Burn After Reading.
01:15:48
Speaker
Yeah.
01:15:48
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good one.
01:15:50
Speaker
Flip to USA, Psych and Burn Notice, and Monk.
01:15:52
Speaker
Oh, my God.
01:15:54
Speaker
Psych Marathon in a Hotel Room would send me into the stratosphere.
01:15:57
Speaker
Or Monk, specifically.
01:15:59
Speaker
Monk is good, bro.
01:16:01
Speaker
Bye, guys, Shalhoub.
01:16:03
Speaker
We love Shalhoub.
01:16:04
Speaker
Shalhoub in Men in Black.
01:16:08
Speaker
Also in Spy Kids 1.
01:16:10
Speaker
Dude, Spy Kids 1 has such a fucking cast.
01:16:14
Speaker
All of them do, man.
01:16:15
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
01:16:18
Speaker
It's fantastic.
01:16:19
Speaker
I mean, George Clooney playing the president in the third one.
01:16:22
Speaker
With the cool fucking Star Trek.
01:16:24
Speaker
Yeah, it's really dope.
01:16:27
Speaker
Gentlemen, any final honorable mentions before we move on?
01:16:30
Speaker
I will say, when we were talking about Jack Reacher, I did want to shout out Jack Ryan.
01:16:34
Speaker
Yeah.
01:16:34
Speaker
I think I'd be happy with any Jack Ryan flick in a hotel room.
01:16:37
Speaker
Hunt for Red October, Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Game, Some of All Fears.
01:16:40
Speaker
I'd be delighted with any of those 90s-era Harrison Ford flicks.
01:16:45
Speaker
Yeah, Grisham.
01:16:46
Speaker
Yeah, 90s Ford.
01:16:47
Speaker
Any Clancy.
01:16:49
Speaker
Yeah.
01:16:49
Speaker
I'd also be like really happy with any Clint Western.
01:16:53
Speaker
You know, like Westerns in general, I find very comforting, but particularly like Pale Rider or Outlaw Josie Wells, those don't come on a lot.
01:17:02
Speaker
So that's kind of why I wasn't thinking about them, but just thinking about things that make me feel comfortable.
Highs and Lows of Media Consumption
01:17:06
Speaker
I also can't believe that none of us have shouted out Michael Bay.
01:17:08
Speaker
Armageddon.
01:17:10
Speaker
Armageddon was very close on my action.
01:17:12
Speaker
Transformers.
01:17:13
Speaker
Transformers.
01:17:14
Speaker
Yeah.
01:17:15
Speaker
Transformers Dark of the Moon, particularly.
01:17:17
Speaker
Yeah.
01:17:17
Speaker
In the hotel room, there's nothing like it.
01:17:20
Speaker
Watching that guy talk about the... You've never seen three?
01:17:23
Speaker
Three is pretty good, dude.
01:17:25
Speaker
Is this the first one without Megan Fox?
01:17:28
Speaker
Yes, it's Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
01:17:31
Speaker
Which is the one where the dude keeps the Romeo and Juliet claws in his pocket.
01:17:38
Speaker
That's a Wahlberg one.
01:17:40
Speaker
It's Last Night, I think.
01:17:41
Speaker
Yeah.
01:17:42
Speaker
Because that's the one, too, with the demented human-sized Transformer butler.
01:17:48
Speaker
Yes.
01:17:48
Speaker
I haven't seen one of them besides the first trilogy.
01:17:51
Speaker
No, there's a scene in one of the later Transformers movies where a guy goes, you know, my daughter's a little young for you.
01:17:57
Speaker
And he goes, it's technically legal, given this law that I keep in my pocket.
01:18:01
Speaker
Oh, my God.
01:18:05
Speaker
I believe in Transformers Dark of the Moon, a Transformer tries to sexually assault young Rosie Huntington Whiteley.
01:18:12
Speaker
Yeah, he does.
01:18:12
Speaker
I believe so.
01:18:13
Speaker
Yeah, there's... There's a weird snake one.
01:18:15
Speaker
It happens in Revenge of the Fallen, too.
01:18:17
Speaker
Revenge of the Fallen, the girl sticks her metal tongue down Shiloh Booth's throat.
01:18:24
Speaker
Oh, no, that's what I was thinking of.
01:18:25
Speaker
That's in Revenge of the Fallen.
01:18:26
Speaker
That's in Revenge of the Fallen.
01:18:29
Speaker
Oh, sorry.
01:18:30
Speaker
You're so right.
01:18:31
Speaker
No, that was the other way around.
01:18:32
Speaker
That was Shia LaBeouf sticking his metallic throat down Noah Jube's tongue.
01:18:37
Speaker
Huh?
01:18:38
Speaker
Yeah.
01:18:38
Speaker
All right.
01:18:39
Speaker
This is the Akira Kurosawa high and low.
01:18:42
Speaker
Everyone's favorite part of this podcast because it means it's the end for the uninitiated.
01:18:50
Speaker
Good God.
01:18:51
Speaker
How did you make it this long?
01:18:53
Speaker
This is where the gentleman on this podcast will talk about the highs and lows of the past week.
01:18:58
Speaker
It's been a little while since we've recorded, so I'm not limited to a week.
01:19:01
Speaker
Do whatever the fuck you want.
01:19:02
Speaker
You're grown men.
01:19:03
Speaker
I trust you with my heart and with my life.
01:19:05
Speaker
God bless you.
01:19:07
Speaker
So, yeah, you'll talk about the highs and lows of the media we have consumed as of late.
01:19:12
Speaker
And I would like to hear from one Joe Neal Hayes first.
01:19:15
Speaker
Okay, I'd love to talk about what I've seen.
01:19:21
Speaker
I got to shout out some honorable mentions for highs before I just say my high, because it's such a boring answer.
01:19:30
Speaker
But I watched, since the last time we recorded, I watched A Real Pain and Flow.
01:19:36
Speaker
Both of those movies are fantastic.
01:19:38
Speaker
I was so pleasantly surprised by Flow.
01:19:40
Speaker
I knew I was going to like it, but I didn't know I was going to fucking love it.
01:19:44
Speaker
I love David Erlich's review of it where you just like it just feels like vibing out to watching gameplay video of Myst.
01:19:51
Speaker
Yeah, it's just like so chill.
01:19:53
Speaker
It's so relaxing except for when that cat falls out of the fucking boat.
01:19:57
Speaker
Stay in the fucking boat.
01:19:59
Speaker
You don't gotta get out.
01:20:02
Speaker
Cappy Bear is my homie for real.
01:20:05
Speaker
The lemur is such a Chad.
01:20:08
Speaker
And A Real Pain was just beautiful.
01:20:10
Speaker
I mean, there's not much else to say about that.
01:20:11
Speaker
It was a beautiful movie.
01:20:13
Speaker
My high of the week was Tropic Thunder, though, because I rewatched it, and it's perfect.
01:20:18
Speaker
It's absolutely perfect.
01:20:20
Speaker
I genuinely think it might be one of my top three Tom Cruise performances.
01:20:25
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
01:20:25
Speaker
I'm into that.
01:20:27
Speaker
I love the, I mean, the classic fuck your own face line is great, but also when he first comes on screen on the webcam and goes, where's a key grip?
01:20:37
Speaker
I need a key grip.
01:20:38
Speaker
And they point to the guy and he's like, I want you to step over to there and hit him really fucking hard in the face.
01:20:47
Speaker
Yeah.
01:20:49
Speaker
It's incredible.
01:20:50
Speaker
It's perfect.
01:20:51
Speaker
Yeah, it's a perfect movie.
01:20:53
Speaker
It's a five-star masterpiece to me.
01:20:55
Speaker
I agree.
01:20:56
Speaker
Ben Stiller's best directing, I think.
01:20:58
Speaker
I mean, I love Severance and Walter Mitty.
01:21:03
Speaker
Walter Mitty.
01:21:04
Speaker
Walter Mitty stinks.
01:21:06
Speaker
Okay.
01:21:07
Speaker
I'm sorry you don't have a heart.
01:21:08
Speaker
I love Reality Bites.
01:21:10
Speaker
Walter Mitty's fine.
01:21:12
Speaker
Escape at Dan Moore is really well directed.
01:21:15
Speaker
Oh, Escape at Dan Moore is fantastic.
01:21:16
Speaker
The culture adjacent to Walter Mitty stinks.
01:21:20
Speaker
Yes, that is true.
01:21:20
Speaker
I don't like the people who really like that movie are annoying.
01:21:23
Speaker
It's mostly like really annoying Christians who like that movie.
01:21:27
Speaker
But I mean, it's perfect.
01:21:30
Speaker
It's got the fucking John Toll.
01:21:33
Speaker
cinematography yeah it looks incredible yeah it's it's looks yeah it's amazing um incredible nick nolte performance in that movie yeah i think it's i think it's one of my favorite bill hater performances specifically because i texted you guys about this but he is doing a perfect of a perfect impression of someone that nobody knows yeah he's just he just like heard a studio executive talking to ben stiller one day he's like okay i'm gonna do an impression of that guy
01:22:00
Speaker
Yeah.
01:22:01
Speaker
And he nailed it for an entire movie.
01:22:03
Speaker
Yeah.
01:22:03
Speaker
Yeah.
01:22:05
Speaker
Yeah.
01:22:06
Speaker
It's just great.
01:22:06
Speaker
It's perfect.
01:22:07
Speaker
I don't know what to say about it.
01:22:08
Speaker
My low is that I haven't been to the movie theater in like three weeks.
01:22:13
Speaker
Damn.
01:22:14
Speaker
I've seen three movies in theater in the last week.
01:22:16
Speaker
Yeah.
01:22:17
Speaker
Okay.
01:22:17
Speaker
Yeah.
01:22:18
Speaker
Okay.
01:22:19
Speaker
Brag.
01:22:19
Speaker
Brag.
01:22:19
Speaker
To be fair, I was on fucking spring break.
01:22:22
Speaker
Yeah, that's true.
01:22:24
Speaker
And I was in.
01:22:24
Speaker
Must be nice.
01:22:25
Speaker
I was out of town.
01:22:26
Speaker
Zach, let us hear your high and low.
01:22:30
Speaker
All right, I'll go low first.
01:22:32
Speaker
I mean, I don't dislike this movie, but I rewatched some Men in Black trilogy recently, and the second one is by far the weakest link for me, although it does have the Balcinian in that rules.
01:22:42
Speaker
Come on.
01:22:43
Speaker
My other low, and this is going to piss Austin off, I found the first half of Soderbergh's Black Bag incredibly boring.
01:22:50
Speaker
It's fine.
01:22:51
Speaker
I've had a lot of conversations with people who don't like it.
01:22:53
Speaker
It's all good.
01:22:54
Speaker
Yeah, I think it picks up and lands the plane by the end, but it was...
01:23:00
Speaker
I will say it was one of the first movies I've even considered walking out of in a long time.
01:23:04
Speaker
Wow.
01:23:05
Speaker
I was just, I was just like, Oh, this is literally just a mission impossible movie without any action.
01:23:12
Speaker
And like,
01:23:13
Speaker
not to say that there couldn't be a good version of that.
01:23:16
Speaker
And I think the way they land kind of is a good version of that.
01:23:19
Speaker
But yeah, I was just like, this is kind of like two slice of lifey in some ways for a stylized movie like this.
01:23:27
Speaker
Um, but as far as my highs, I honorable mentioned crimson tide fucking rules.
01:23:35
Speaker
Watch days of thunder for the first time as well.
01:23:38
Speaker
Rewatch the big Lebowski for the 40,000th time.
01:23:40
Speaker
Um,
01:23:43
Speaker
And then the other... People are shitting on the movie Opus with Ayo Adebri and John Malkovich.
01:23:52
Speaker
And a lot of the complaints are that it's just like really cut from the same cloth as blink twice and get out.
01:24:01
Speaker
And like just, you know, this genre of like...
01:24:05
Speaker
psychological thriller, social commentary stuff.
01:24:08
Speaker
Like, don't get up, don't look up, stuff like that.
01:24:11
Speaker
And, like, they're right.
01:24:12
Speaker
It is totally a continuation of that.
01:24:14
Speaker
But I thought it was really fun.
01:24:16
Speaker
Like, for me, like, I was just, like...
01:24:20
Speaker
never a dull moment.
01:24:21
Speaker
I was in for the whole ride.
01:24:22
Speaker
A lot of the styling reminds me of Pearl.
01:24:27
Speaker
The title card looks a lot like the Pearl title card.
01:24:29
Speaker
That's fun.
01:24:30
Speaker
It was fun.
01:24:31
Speaker
The only one of those X movies that I liked.
01:24:34
Speaker
I love Io Debris, man.
01:24:35
Speaker
She rules.
01:24:37
Speaker
I want to see more of her directing work.
01:24:39
Speaker
I was just saying I want to see more of her directing work.
01:24:42
Speaker
Her episode of The Bear was good.
01:24:44
Speaker
She'll get more for sure.
01:24:46
Speaker
um but my high for the week i'm counting last week is i finished nihon genesis evangelium yes sir and it's just one of those things you hear people talk about and it's really easy to oversell a recommendation of media to a friend and for the first half of the series i was like okay this is good but it's not changing my life or anything
01:25:10
Speaker
And then by like the last eight, nine episodes, probably eight episodes, especially it's genuinely like a soul shifting, like experience of, of watching television.
01:25:24
Speaker
Just the, there's literally scenes where it feels like you're going through like MK ultra conditioning with trying to input like how to be a good fucking person into your brain.
01:25:34
Speaker
16 on man is really incredible shit.
01:25:38
Speaker
Really excited for you to watch the other movies.
01:25:40
Speaker
Okay, my turn.
01:25:41
Speaker
End of Evangelion.
01:25:43
Speaker
Yeah, I'm the last one here who hasn't seen Evangelion, so I'm going to get on it soon.
01:25:47
Speaker
I have the Blu-ray box waiting for me.
01:25:48
Speaker
I just haven't done it.
01:25:50
Speaker
Okay, my low for the week, easy, Venom the Last Dance.
01:25:54
Speaker
It was very sad that this was so bad.
01:25:56
Speaker
I really liked the first two Venom movies.
01:25:58
Speaker
I really, really liked the first one.
01:26:00
Speaker
The second one is serviceable to me.
01:26:03
Speaker
That's the one that PTA liked, right?
01:26:05
Speaker
Yeah, I get to see Tom Hardy playing Venom.
01:26:07
Speaker
I'm not going to complain.
01:26:08
Speaker
This time I will.
01:26:11
Speaker
It's incredibly poorly directed.
01:26:12
Speaker
It has no momentum whatsoever.
01:26:16
Speaker
And Venom doesn't get enough good jokes.
01:26:17
Speaker
So I was pissed.
01:26:18
Speaker
Bummer.
01:26:20
Speaker
Bad deal.
01:26:21
Speaker
Honorable mention high to a couple of rewatches.
01:26:24
Speaker
Cronenberg's Crash and Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight.
01:26:28
Speaker
both of which I've rewatched in the last three days and had very different movies, but I had a phenomenal time.
01:26:34
Speaker
Clarissa and my sister watched out of sight with me and they both loved it.
01:26:38
Speaker
They were raving about it.
01:26:39
Speaker
Clarissa was like, why is this movie not talked about more?
01:26:41
Speaker
And like the zeitgeisty stuff.
01:26:43
Speaker
And I was like, I was like, you know, it's, it's got kind of overshadowed at the time, blah, blah, blah.
01:26:47
Speaker
And I was like, but also if you're in the right circles on the right Reddit boards, people are talking about that movie.
01:26:52
Speaker
So I just love, I love that movie so much.
01:26:55
Speaker
I think it's,
01:26:56
Speaker
I think it's J-Lo's best work.
01:26:57
Speaker
Maybe not.
01:26:59
Speaker
Maybe barring Hustlers.
01:27:00
Speaker
But, you know.
01:27:03
Speaker
Selena's fantastic.
01:27:04
Speaker
But her and Out of Sight.
01:27:06
Speaker
It's the perfect blend of artists and role.
01:27:09
Speaker
Keaton for like three minutes.
01:27:11
Speaker
Yeah, Keaton playing the same part he plays in Jackie Brown.
01:27:13
Speaker
Playing Ray Nicolette, the Elmore Leonard extended universe.
01:27:17
Speaker
My Hive of the Week is a TV show.
01:27:20
Speaker
Actually, first.
01:27:21
Speaker
Real quick, there's a Jackie Brown reference in Opus.
01:27:24
Speaker
Oh, love that.
01:27:26
Speaker
Also honorable mention, hi to The Pit.
01:27:27
Speaker
The Pit keeps on trucking.
01:27:29
Speaker
And The Pit is my favorite show on TV.
01:27:32
Speaker
My honorable mention, or sorry, my actual high is another TV show, but it's a limited series on Netflix called Adolescence.
01:27:40
Speaker
Dude, I've heard good things.
01:27:42
Speaker
I've heard excellent things.
01:27:44
Speaker
Strap in, fellas.
01:27:45
Speaker
Holy fucking shit.
01:27:46
Speaker
I watched all of it over yesterday and the day before.
01:27:51
Speaker
And so for anybody who doesn't know, the show is about a 13 year old who is accused of murdering one of his classmates with a knife.
01:28:04
Speaker
And Stephen Graham plays his dad who's been in a bunch of stuff.
01:28:07
Speaker
He's in The Irishman.
01:28:08
Speaker
He's a bloke type guy.
01:28:11
Speaker
Very good British actor.
01:28:12
Speaker
Yeah.
01:28:12
Speaker
Yeah.
01:28:13
Speaker
Very good British actor.
01:28:14
Speaker
He plays the father.
01:28:16
Speaker
And each episode of this show is a oneer.
01:28:22
Speaker
it's four episodes each about an hour long each episode is a one-er and at first I was like what is this gimmicky shit right and but it is the most effective use of that method that I have ever seen in my life I feel like I need to watch it just because it's I mean I literally teach 13 year olds and it's talking about the influencer culture and like
01:28:43
Speaker
It's got its finger on the – it's about what social media does to children is like the kind of big thesis of the show.
01:28:51
Speaker
And I – so the first episode is we begin with the police breaking into the house to arrest the son.
01:28:59
Speaker
Wow.
01:28:59
Speaker
And then we see the next hour.
01:29:01
Speaker
The second episode, this doesn't spoil anything really.
01:29:04
Speaker
The second episode jumps three days in the future from that.
01:29:06
Speaker
We get one hour in that day.
01:29:08
Speaker
The episode after that jumps seven months.
01:29:11
Speaker
We get one hour in that day.
01:29:13
Speaker
And then six more months after that, we get one hour in that day.
01:29:16
Speaker
And it moved me.
01:29:21
Speaker
in a profound way.
01:29:23
Speaker
I found it, it's A, it's incredibly well written and acted.
01:29:27
Speaker
It's written by Jack Thorne, who's written a lot of British TV.
01:29:30
Speaker
He also wrote Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
01:29:33
Speaker
And also written by Stephen Graham.
01:29:36
Speaker
He collaborated with Stephen Graham to write the scripts.
01:29:40
Speaker
I could not recommend it more highly.
01:29:42
Speaker
It is harrowing.
01:29:43
Speaker
It is upsetting.
01:29:45
Speaker
But I thought it was absolutely phenomenal.
01:29:47
Speaker
So Adolescence on Netflix is my high.
01:29:49
Speaker
Wow.
01:29:51
Speaker
I guess that just leaves me.
Critique of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'
01:29:53
Speaker
My low... I'll just go ahead and rip the band-aid off.
01:29:59
Speaker
I watched I Know What You Did Last Summer.
01:30:01
Speaker
The OG.
01:30:03
Speaker
The OG.
01:30:04
Speaker
Which I just found to be... It is neither campy nor violent enough to be enjoyable.
01:30:12
Speaker
Damn.
01:30:13
Speaker
That's a bad review.
01:30:16
Speaker
It just is...
01:30:19
Speaker
And people I know who I like their taste, were like, oh my god, such campy fun.
01:30:23
Speaker
And I was like, where was the camp?
01:30:24
Speaker
Where's the camp?
01:30:26
Speaker
Where's the jokes?
01:30:27
Speaker
Yeah, but we're freaks.
01:30:28
Speaker
Like, we just have a different definition.
01:30:30
Speaker
But like, Geller, we're not freaks, we're experts.
01:30:34
Speaker
Well, okay, thank you.
01:30:34
Speaker
That's a nicer way to say it.
01:30:35
Speaker
Geller and Freddie Prinze Jr. are in the same fucking flick together.
01:30:39
Speaker
They should be having a ball and like, cranking the shit to 11.
01:30:42
Speaker
And maybe kissing a lot.
01:30:44
Speaker
Yeah.
01:30:45
Speaker
Yeah.
01:30:46
Speaker
uh they they play not lovers but friends so they don't be boring cowards each they be kissing other people they do they don't be kissing each other and get the prettiest people to kiss each other that's like movie 101 and uh and i can't remember what i called him uh i think i called him big bang theory um oh yeah oh johnny galecki
01:31:10
Speaker
Johnny Galecki.
01:31:11
Speaker
He plays Leonard on Big Bang Theory.
01:31:12
Speaker
Yeah, I just kept referring to him exclusively as Big Bang Theory.
01:31:16
Speaker
At one point I sent a text to the boys that said, oh no, they killed Big Bang Theory.
01:31:23
Speaker
Big Bang Theory sounds like something that they would say in a British style rap.
01:31:27
Speaker
Big Bang Theory is one of those movies you found in the hotel room porn catalog, Joe.
01:31:32
Speaker
Yeah.
01:31:34
Speaker
I know Austin has some troubling takes about this band, but I really need to hear Liam Gallagher say Big Bang Theory.
01:31:41
Speaker
Big Bang Theory.
01:31:45
Speaker
I like to watch Big Bang Theory.
01:31:47
Speaker
Oasis is fun.
01:31:48
Speaker
Oasis fucking rips.
01:31:49
Speaker
That was a little bit too Eastender.
01:31:51
Speaker
You got to go mink.
01:31:52
Speaker
Oh, you're right.
01:31:52
Speaker
Yeah, you got to go real mink.
01:31:54
Speaker
I don't give a shit.
01:31:56
Speaker
No, I want more.
01:31:58
Speaker
We're starting to turn on each other.
01:32:00
Speaker
We got to wrap this up.
01:32:01
Speaker
I'm on the board of Manchester City.
01:32:03
Speaker
Manchester City.
01:32:04
Speaker
Manchester City.
01:32:06
Speaker
That's what I say.
01:32:08
Speaker
You're right.
01:32:09
Speaker
That's correct.
01:32:10
Speaker
I agree.
01:32:12
Speaker
Okay, my high.
01:32:13
Speaker
I'm going to do an argument.
01:32:13
Speaker
I thought I was going to make people angry with that one.
01:32:15
Speaker
Sorry.
01:32:15
Speaker
Keep going.
01:32:16
Speaker
No, all of us hate City.
01:32:18
Speaker
I think all of us would hate me and you as well.
01:32:20
Speaker
You're going to make very few people angry with that.
01:32:21
Speaker
Well, you will make my brother angry, Man City fan.
01:32:24
Speaker
Your brother's such a bitch.
01:32:25
Speaker
He sucks.
01:32:26
Speaker
Well, to be fair, he lives in the actual place that they have a sister team.
01:32:30
Speaker
That's true.
01:32:31
Speaker
Yeah.
01:32:31
Speaker
That's true.
01:32:32
Speaker
All right, go to a sister team because they're all girls.
01:32:34
Speaker
Hey-hoo!
01:32:35
Speaker
Keep going, Red.
01:32:37
Speaker
So my high – well, my honorable mention, and I –
01:32:42
Speaker
You know, I'm flipping it.
01:32:43
Speaker
Okay.
Deep Dive into 'Moneyball'
01:32:44
Speaker
My honorable mention high is Moneyball, which I rewatched for the... Talk about perfect.
01:32:50
Speaker
Genuinely probably 20th time.
01:32:52
Speaker
Yeah.
01:32:55
Speaker
Funny enough, I think I did this not last opening day, but the opening day previously of the MLB season.
01:33:02
Speaker
I rewatched Moneyball.
01:33:04
Speaker
And then the last time I rewatched it was...
01:33:07
Speaker
The day, I believe, when the Atlanta Braves won the World Series.
01:33:12
Speaker
Sorry to open up a wound, Austin.
01:33:15
Speaker
It's fine.
01:33:15
Speaker
You got two, man.
01:33:16
Speaker
I apologize for that.
01:33:18
Speaker
We got two.
01:33:18
Speaker
It's fine.
01:33:19
Speaker
I'm chilling.
01:33:21
Speaker
the day the Braves won the World Series, I was at Pinewood, and then I left and went home and watched Moneyball.
01:33:28
Speaker
I associated so much with the MLB season, because I'm just a baseball obsessive.
01:33:36
Speaker
And I found it so perfect.
01:33:38
Speaker
I think Bennett, like, the really excellent thing that happens, and I was trying to put words to this in a Letterboxd review, and I really couldn't, but...
01:33:48
Speaker
Bennett Miller throughout this entire movie is really trying his hardest to do a Fincher impression, which is really interesting because this was initially going to be a Soderbergh picture.
01:33:58
Speaker
If you guys didn't know that, it's going to be a Soderbergh picture.
01:34:00
Speaker
David Justice was going to play himself.
01:34:02
Speaker
David Justice was going to play himself.
01:34:04
Speaker
There was going to be interviews interspliced.
01:34:05
Speaker
It was going to be much more of an odd kind of amalgam of what became Moneyball.
01:34:12
Speaker
But, you know, there's this like really crackling Sorkin dialogue, but there's a lot of points of which it breathes.
01:34:21
Speaker
And, you know, so much of this is like just wanting to be a Fincher movie, even in like the sound editing and...
01:34:35
Speaker
in the score.
01:34:36
Speaker
I just tried to be really compelling, but Miller, Miller does this thing that Fincher does in the social network where it's like, all right, here's four interrupted minutes of people reading Sorkin dialogue of which it is just boom, boom, boom, boom.
01:34:50
Speaker
Like line after line after line, banger after banger after banger.
01:34:53
Speaker
The first time that pit comes in and talks to Jonah Hill and he goes like, what was that in there?
01:34:59
Speaker
Yeah.
01:34:59
Speaker
What do you mean?
01:35:00
Speaker
He's like, you know, what was that in there?
01:35:01
Speaker
What did you tell him?
01:35:03
Speaker
Shit like that.
01:35:04
Speaker
But then long stretches of letting it breathe, which I think makes the Sorkin dialogue even more effective.
01:35:10
Speaker
And that's what Sorkin fails to do in his own movies that he directs.
01:35:14
Speaker
He will not let his dialogue breathe.
01:35:16
Speaker
Yeah, correct.
01:35:16
Speaker
You took the words right out of the mouth, Joe.
01:35:18
Speaker
You nailed it.
01:35:20
Speaker
So that was going to be my high, but I feel like I rarely get to talk about books on this podcast.
01:35:26
Speaker
Can I quickly speak on Moneyball just real quick before we move on?
01:35:28
Speaker
Oh, please.
01:35:29
Speaker
Absolutely.
01:35:30
Speaker
It's a great example, too, of what I was talking about.
01:35:32
Speaker
It's a movie I could watch in a hotel very easily because I know all the beats and I know the parts I want to see.
01:35:37
Speaker
So when he first brings...
01:35:42
Speaker
what is jonah hill's character's name he's not paul d podesta but he is he is paul d podesta um but i peter brand is the character's name peter brand thank you when he brings him into the uh scouts room for the first time and he points to him and jonah hill says uh does that mean you want me to talk and he goes when i point to you yeah and i'm like that's perfect sorkin exchange right there that's perfect so sorry i just had to say that another hotel movie money ball
01:36:06
Speaker
him talking to Philip Seymour Hoffman as Art Howe, and then when he leaves and he goes, love talking to you, Art.
01:36:13
Speaker
Every time we talk, my love for the game is reinvigorated.
01:36:16
Speaker
Reinvigorated, yeah.
01:36:17
Speaker
And he does like a weird walk out.
01:36:19
Speaker
It's so good.
01:36:19
Speaker
He kicks the shit out of the garbage bin or whatever.
01:36:22
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
01:36:24
Speaker
I mean, and Art Howe being so pissed at how he was portrayed, which kind of makes the argument for his portrayal.
01:36:31
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
01:36:33
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
01:36:34
Speaker
Yeah.
01:36:35
Speaker
But my high is the Patrick Raddenkeith novel, Say... I'm sorry, it's not a novel.
01:36:40
Speaker
It's a nonfiction book.
01:36:42
Speaker
Say Nothing.
01:36:43
Speaker
Yeah.
01:36:44
Speaker
Which is... It technically takes place over the span of about 40 years.
01:36:49
Speaker
But where I'm at right now, I'm about probably a quarter to a third of the way through.
01:36:54
Speaker
And it is mostly focusing on the early 1970s and the IRA in Northern Ireland.
01:36:59
Speaker
Oh, cool.
01:37:01
Speaker
As an extremely Irish man who has spent the last week and a half trying to chart specifically where my family is from in Ireland, and being that just earlier this week we had St.
01:37:14
Speaker
Paddy's, it's been on the brain, and so it was the perfect time for me to start reading this book.
01:37:17
Speaker
It's been adapted to a Hulu series, which Austin, you watched and loved.
01:37:20
Speaker
It's a very good, very good TV show.
01:37:24
Speaker
But the novel is – I'm sorry.
01:37:26
Speaker
I keep calling it a novel because I don't read nonfiction, which I think is even – I so rarely read nonfiction because I just don't care.
01:37:33
Speaker
I used to almost exclusively read nonfiction, and now I've flipped all the fiction, but I've got a few nonfiction ones on the list now.
01:37:40
Speaker
I just put that one on it.
01:37:42
Speaker
I think when you have a kid, all the books on your shelf turn to books about submarines.
01:37:45
Speaker
Yeah.
01:37:47
Speaker
So we're all getting ready for that day.
01:37:49
Speaker
Yeah.
01:37:49
Speaker
So I like, you know, like if it's not like a Michael Lewis book, I so rarely read nonfiction.
01:37:54
Speaker
But it is the nonfiction storytelling in the way that it is described and told and the amount of work that Radden Keefe put into this book to get it where it was and to be able to have these oral histories and all of this documented story.
01:38:09
Speaker
um about dolores price and all these things also if you guys have seen the crying game the star of that film stephen ray uh was married to dolores price which i find so interesting that he was like just married to this like ira terrorist ira army member
01:38:25
Speaker
Yeah, married to a member of the... I was going to say, watch what you're fucking saying here.
01:38:29
Speaker
That's why I thought myself... Married to a member of the provost, the provisional... Come out, you black and tames, you know what I'm fucking saying.
01:38:37
Speaker
Fuck yeah.
01:38:38
Speaker
Have you all seen Kneecap yet?
01:38:40
Speaker
No, I got to.
01:38:41
Speaker
I really want to.
01:38:42
Speaker
I'm going to.
01:38:42
Speaker
Yeah.
01:38:44
Speaker
So, yeah.
01:38:47
Speaker
I believe in a unified Ireland, all 32 counties will be free.
01:38:50
Speaker
Fuck the crown.
01:38:51
Speaker
Fuck the crown.
01:38:52
Speaker
Fuck the Protestants.
01:38:54
Speaker
Re-Palestine.
01:38:55
Speaker
Yeah.
01:38:57
Speaker
So, yeah, that's it.
01:38:58
Speaker
Thanks for listening.
01:38:59
Speaker
Boys, thank you for doing this hotel movie draft.
01:39:01
Speaker
This was really, really fun.
01:39:02
Speaker
Fantastic time.
01:39:03
Speaker
It was.
01:39:04
Speaker
I think one of the best episodes we've done.
01:39:07
Speaker
I love you, boys.
01:39:09
Speaker
Outside of all my weird audio and connection issues, but whatever.
01:39:14
Speaker
There's only like two.
01:39:15
Speaker
Yeah, I don't really have it twice.
01:39:16
Speaker
They're good.
01:39:17
Speaker
Love you, boys.
01:39:18
Speaker
Love you, listener.
01:39:19
Speaker
Bye, y'all.
01:39:20
Speaker
