Introduction and 'Dumpuary' Discussion
00:00:16
Speaker
Beep, beep, beep. Look out! There's a dumpuary truck backing up.
00:00:30
Speaker
Can you believe it took eight minutes to come up with that?
00:00:36
Speaker
We are so back, guys. Welcome back to Lost in the Frame. I am your host, Alex. I'm your host, Malik. I'm your host, Tachi. And today we are talking about everybody's favorite movie release month, Dumpuary.
Reminiscing on Past 'Dumpuary' Films
00:00:52
Speaker
And we're doing a draft about it. I would say that Dumpuary, looking at some of the years that we went back on, it used to not be so bad. i don't even think it's that bad now.
00:01:05
Speaker
It's not. We get some and kind of get some bangers. Let's look at, or I guess last year's. twenty Last year's was bad. 20 25s oh there oh my god last year was 2025 yeah it keeps throwing me off um okay so we did have wolfman that wasn't very good one of them days but we had wide release for sing sing we had i'm still here limited release um
00:01:37
Speaker
We had, okay, Presence was really bad. We had the Brutalist wide release. Yeah. And I guess Companion.
00:01:49
Speaker
Okay, maybe it was not great. But there were some bangers.
Excitement for Upcoming Films and Alamo Theater Anecdotes
00:01:53
Speaker
To me, it does feel like, at least in the last few years, January has kind of become the dumping ground for like the B-horror movie. For the horror movies that are just like, meh.
00:02:03
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And you kind of expect that going in, which is why I'm excited to watch Primate when that comes out. I think that's going to be sick. Sometimes it's like a bad movie, but a bad movie that's like, this is awesome. You know, beware really Alamo theater goers. I will be going ape mode after.
00:02:23
Speaker
I'm not allowed back in Alamo. Last time I went eight mode.
00:02:27
Speaker
We don't talk about it.
Hollywood News: Casting Rumors and Film Roles
00:02:29
Speaker
um Let's see what's going on in the world of movies before we get to our draft as our warm up. First one I see here. Reports of Callum Turner being the next Bond.
00:02:41
Speaker
Dude, he's just on cloud nine. Is that Dua Lipa's boyfriend? Yes. Yep. I think they're engaged, actually. They are. It's so unfair. like Can't he just not have one thing? Look at me. I'm Callum Turner.
00:02:55
Speaker
I'm going to be born. I'm marrying Dua Lipa. Oi, mate. Oi, bruv. I mean, he shut up. I've only seen him in Eternity, and that was recent, and I thought he was fine in it.
00:03:08
Speaker
He's in one of your favorite movies, actually. Don't tell me. I actually know this. Is this like an actual favorite movie or not? Yeah. movie Because he he has a small role in, what is it? Tell me. Green Room.
00:03:20
Speaker
That's right. Right there. I'm looking at it. he He's also in Masters of the Air. Have you seen that? I haven't. That's the Austin Butler. yeah is it a movie or a show? Show.
00:03:30
Speaker
Okay. It was like Band of Brothers but planes. Yeah. Pretty good. I enjoyed a part of it a lot. um We'll save the Critics Choice Award for the last one so we can go through that quickly.
00:03:42
Speaker
um Sebastian Stan and Scar Jo in talks for the Batman 2. I think Scarlett Johansson is confirmed. I actually saw that she wasn't confirmed. Okay. That's like the other way around. But I think Sebastian Stan, the rumor is he's going to be Harvey Dent.
00:04:00
Speaker
Honestly, I'm down. and me too. That'd be pretty cool. I think that'd be great. We watched Thunderbolts last night because Cam hadn't seen it. And as soon as Bucky came on screen, I thought Harvey Dent. And I was like, yeah. he's like give him Give him a different haircut. Shave the beard.
00:04:15
Speaker
He's a good actor. He Different man was really underrated. Oh, yeah. Cool. Good for him. Hopefully it works out. Yeah. What's the next piece of news?
'Avengers Doomsday' Teasers and Actor Opinions
00:04:25
Speaker
Todd, I think this one's up your alley.
00:04:26
Speaker
Sure. I want to bring up the Avengers Doomsday teasers. I think there have been three released so far. So we got Steve Rogers, Thor and the X-Men.
00:04:38
Speaker
Yes. With cameos from ah Professor X and Cyclops. And Magneto. Yeah. Yeah. thoughts yes many do you care i i care i'm getting more frustrated um professor x and magneto ian mckellen and patrick stewart i don't want to be i don't want to sound ageist they're old like nearly decrepit that's what happens playing these roles that's what happens after a bit you know you just kind of get old
00:05:15
Speaker
I know that, i know that but i don't know if you guys remember that joke in Deadpool and Wolverine.
Casting Critique of Older Actors in Marvel Films
00:05:21
Speaker
Deadpool made some joke. I don't remember to someone where he's like, oh, Fox has you by the balls till you're 90. He's like, till you're 90. Yeah. Literally.
00:05:29
Speaker
It's happening. And it's so sad. um was going to say Ian McKellen as Gandalf. Yeah. Is he coming back? Yeah, he's coming back for the New Golem movie.
00:05:40
Speaker
Oh my God. Yeah. um Yeah. These are levels of key jangling that we've never seen. I'm actually, I'm going to go against the grain here and I'm going say i'm actually really excited.
00:05:51
Speaker
Really? i am so interested to see how low they can go. Are you ready to see Patrick Stewart die for a fifth time as the same character?
00:06:03
Speaker
Yes. In the last 20 or 30 years? I think it's going to be so good. think it's going be so good. I hope it's good, but i I don't really see a path where it is good.
00:06:20
Speaker
I also kind of feel, at least like on Twitter, I feel like Marvel is letting a lot of these leaks out purposefully to create hype. Because before the official teasers have come out, I've seen like cam rips of every of each one of these.
00:06:35
Speaker
I just saw one of a the next one that comes out is Black Panther and Fantastic Four. There's some interesting rumors going around going around about Black Panther, actually, slash the future Miles Morales.
00:06:53
Speaker
I saw potentially Dame Sinidris cast as T'Challa. Okay. that I was thinking about Caleb McFarlane. I thought T'Challa died in the movie.
00:07:04
Speaker
Did he die in the movie? He died off screen. too They just announced that he got sick and passed. You're right, in Black in black Panther 2, so he wouldn't beat T'Challa, but he would be he would take on the Black Panther mantle. Yeah.
00:07:19
Speaker
Yeah. Unless it's just T'Challa from another universe. Yeah. was the thing that you heard, though? ah That it was going to be Caleb McClellan, either as Black Panther or Miles Morales, because apparently he's been doing some acrobatic and martial arts training.
00:07:37
Speaker
So who knows? Hmm.
00:07:41
Speaker
yeah If any of those were true, I would lean more towards the Miles Morales route than Black Panther. I feel like seeing him as Black Panther would be kind of funny. I i think he's too young for that.
00:07:51
Speaker
Yeah. Too young and inexperienced. Well, the movie comes out this year. It comes out in December. Yeah. I might have to come out here and and so we can all watch it together.
00:08:02
Speaker
That'd be nice. Or you get us tickets to the ah the premiere. Oh, true. Yeah, you guys come over there. Yeah. What are we going to do for the Odyssey?
00:08:15
Speaker
What are we going to do? thought we were going New York or something. I think it's wrong that we're going to be apart for that. Isn't that kind of bullshit? You are the one causing it.
00:08:28
Speaker
I can still say it. We're trying to find the guys moving away. We'll figure it out. Don't worry. um Alex, don't these last couple ones. Sure.
00:08:44
Speaker
Well, since I've seen it, should I cover it? Sure. Okay, yeah. okay Actually, no. You know what, Alex? You take it away. I changed my mind. You got it.
00:08:54
Speaker
The Housemaid sequel with Sydney Sweeney returning has already been announced. Frowny face. Why a frowny face, Tachi? I wouldn't have a problem with the Housemaid sequel,
00:09:06
Speaker
if it didn't have Sydney Sweeney. Is she the worst part of the movie? She's kind of the worst part of the movie. She's just very flat. She seems a little uninterested.
00:09:19
Speaker
a lot of people could have played that character. I'm sorry, Sydney, but... yeah i don't think I don't think that's shocking at
Critics' Choice Awards and 'Chase Infinity' Snub
00:09:27
Speaker
all. From what I saw, the movie did make a lot of money very quickly, so I'm not surprised that a sequel was announced. They had the Gooner walk-ups.
00:09:35
Speaker
They did. i think this is the of a combination of Gooner and Book Talk, because I think this is a book, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, it is. So that's like a recipe for success. Good for them.
00:09:47
Speaker
what ah What a group of people that I don't ever want to be around. All right, let's finish this with just rattling off some of the winners from the Critics' Choice Awards the other night before we get into our draft. Cool?
00:10:00
Speaker
Sure. Best Picture. Do you guys know of these already? Yes. I assume. Roughly. We talked about them after we finished filming the Marty episode. Oh, we did. We did. Sorry. Best Picture.
00:10:12
Speaker
One battle after another. Yep. Makes sense. Best Actor. Dimothy Chalamet. His first win, think ever. His first win. I think so.
00:10:23
Speaker
That's a big one. Best actress went to Jesse Buckley for Hamnet. Do you agree with that? Chase Infinity snubbed. Haven't seen Hamnet yet, but... I really want to.
00:10:35
Speaker
Let me see...
00:10:38
Speaker
Alex, you got me like hype on the chase infinity train to like, I would love to see it. She was nominated in that category. So I feel a little, she's good. at She's really Jesse Buckley is really good in Hamnet though.
00:10:51
Speaker
So I'm not mad, but um you kind of made me a believer to Alex. Best Supporting Actor went to Jacob Elordi for Frankenstein, which was shocking. and shock That was surprising.
00:11:04
Speaker
I genuinely think that the industry hates Sean Penn, which is fair because he sucks. What about everybody else in here? Paul Mescal, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, Adam Sandler, Stellan Skarsgård.
00:11:20
Speaker
Can you be supporting actor if your character's name is the movie? Kind of, in a way. Like half of it.
00:11:30
Speaker
and Like people think Frankenstein. Yes, it's Frankenstein's monster. But like you think Frankenstein and you just think the monster. Even though it's incorrect. I feel like that's a weird category for him to be in supporting.
00:11:44
Speaker
It's like lead and co-lead. I don't know. Yeah, strange. ah Best supporting actress went to Amy Madigan for weapons. Thoughts, feelings. People were upset about that one.
00:11:58
Speaker
Why? i don't know. Who did she win over? Elle Fanning for sentimental value, Ariana Grande. Inga Ibstader Lilias for sentimental value.
00:12:08
Speaker
One meme, Mosaku for sinners. And Tiana Taylor for one battle after another. I think it was sinners that film Twitter was upset about.
00:12:18
Speaker
I think they were okay with that. She didn't win. Yeah. Oh, that, uh, weapons won over sinners in that category. Weapons lady was pretty crazy though. Film Twitter be tripping a lot of the time. So they're having a mid off right now.
00:12:34
Speaker
there Um, best young actor slash actress went to miles cat and for sinners. That makes sense. I think that's a good... Yeah.
00:12:47
Speaker
I like that. Although... Our boy from 28 Years Later. don't even think he was nominated. 28 Years Later has gotten no love for the entire award season. That's really sad.
00:12:59
Speaker
he was really good. Nothing. Bullshit. you'll They'll all see when the Bone Temple comes out. they should have They should have invested early. We invested early.
00:13:11
Speaker
I hope we're right. I hope we're right. a Best director went to Paul Thomas Anderson. Sure. I like that. And then best original screenplay went to Ryan Coogler for sinners.
00:13:24
Speaker
Beating out J Kelly, Marty Supreme weapons. Sorry, baby and sentimental value.
00:13:32
Speaker
I disagree. I'd actually go for Marty Supreme in that category.
00:13:39
Speaker
What was it again? Yeah. What one?
Introduction to 'Dumpuary' Draft Rules and Categories
00:13:42
Speaker
The one you just listed. kind of That was the best original screenplay. Screenplay. Screenplay. greenplay I'm going to say it. Sentimental value, just fine.
00:13:55
Speaker
It's just fine. I feel like I'm going crazy. Of all the con movies that I've seen, like I think it was like sentimental value and it was just an accident were like the two biggest ones that came out of con.
00:14:08
Speaker
Yeah. And I think it was just an accident. Clear sentimental value. Clear. I watched it was just an accident earlier today. And like the last 30 minutes of that movie. Dude, the last r five seconds of that movie. The last shot is like I had. Oh, my God, dude.
00:14:26
Speaker
Great movie. Really good movie. What's it on? ah Nothing. You got to buy it. It's on Apple TV and Prime. Buy it? Well, you can rent it. Not even rent? Okay. It's ten bucks. Okay.
00:14:37
Speaker
Ten bucks? Yeah. Get out of town. Do you have my Apple TV, Tachi? Yeah. You have 48 hours to watch it if you want to watch it as of earlier this morning.
00:14:48
Speaker
Got it. So if you can watch it tomorrow on my Apple TV, do that because it's it's there. Do you know how long it takes for a working man to save $10? At least years.
00:15:04
Speaker
um Last one I'll shout out here. Best cinematography went to Adolfo Veloso for Train Dreams. I like. I still need to see it. I'm in. Oh man, award season is in full swing, but we're not going to concern ourselves with that today. We're talking about the dumpies of January. Yes, sir.
00:15:23
Speaker
He gets ready to draft. I'm ready. It's going to be a tight one. It is going to be a tight one. I'm not because we do not know the order of where we are going. ah What do i type in? Wheel spinner? Guys, I'm finally going to win this one.
00:15:36
Speaker
Alex, you're going for the win. You announced that earlier. I'm going for the win. I have some feeling going into this.
00:15:43
Speaker
Got some banger picks lined up. I think Malik, you won the last two. I did. So it was this is our fourth draft as a podcast. Tachi, you won the first one. And I won the last two. And it seems like Alex is kind of coming for our necks on this one. So we'll see.
00:16:01
Speaker
Before I spin the wheel, i will let you guys know what the categories are for today. So the categories for our dump where we draft. And just so you, the listener, are aware,
00:16:13
Speaker
Our rule for the dumpuary he draft is these are all movies that have been released in the U.S. s theatrically in the month of January. We are not counting limited releases in December and then wide releases in January.
00:16:24
Speaker
We are counting limited releases in January, wide release other month. So this movie had to co up had to have come out in January. Those are the rules. yeah Here are the categories.
00:16:36
Speaker
Action, horror, comedy, 2010s, wild card, Hear Me Out, which is, it has less than 60%, either critics or audience on Rotten Tomatoes, and romance slash rom-com.
00:16:50
Speaker
Let's spin the wheel. It's spinning. The first person in the 2026 Dump You Wary draft Let's go.
Beginning 'Dumpuary' Draft and Film Selections
00:16:58
Speaker
is
00:17:02
Speaker
tachi let's go Oh, all right. Okay. For the second spot in the 2026 dumpy where we draft goes to Tachi me, mo but Alex being on the turn could be really nice. Yeah. Alex, I think the best spots to be our first and third.
00:17:29
Speaker
So, we know the rules. Have explained what dumpuary is to the people who may be confused? Maybe not. We kind of hit on it a little bit in the beginning. thought we covered it. Do you want to give a little spiel on dumpuary?
00:17:43
Speaker
Just to remind everybody, dumpuary is a play on the word January and the play on the word dump. And we combined the two to make dumpuary. This is not our creation. i'm saying we as a collective, as a society...
00:17:58
Speaker
Um, because apparently January is where studios will dump their worst movies, quote unquote, worst movies that they think might be failing. Or it seems to be that like Oscar, big Oscar pushes also go in January. So it's either garbage or they're swinging for the fence.
00:18:19
Speaker
Yes. So, but January is like the dumping ground of theatrical release once there's apparently science to all of this. I don't believe it. I think if you put Barbie in January, Barbie would still make a Barbilion.
00:18:31
Speaker
There's science behind it that like less people see movies in January? I think there is. I mean, because that's why like like summer releases, like summer blockbusters were a big deal, and like i guess releasing on Christmas was a big deal.
00:18:43
Speaker
yeah Because people will go like people go to the movies more of those days than others. like There are spots where... It's like just less people go to the movies during these months. Like there's statistics. i think Why would you say you don't believe it? Do you think that these numbers would be true? Even if like in an alternate world, do we flip the months where like the big movie. I'm saying like if you, if you put, I think it's a self perpetuating cycle. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Dump you worry is dump you worry because we've made it dump you worry. Yeah. Yeah. So all the bad movies go there. So less people go see it And there's like a feedback loop.
00:19:15
Speaker
Yeah. But yeah. think if you put Barbie and have the same marketing campaign with Oppenheimer and you put both of them in January, I still think. Barbenheimer happens and a bar billion dollars gets made.
00:19:28
Speaker
Interesting. Well, people yearn for theatrical events. That's very true. Nobody was lining up to see companion.
00:19:41
Speaker
So we created Dumpy Wary. Sure. All right. And now we're drafting about it. And now we're drafting about it. going to see who can make the best team of movies from a dumpy, wary draft.
00:19:56
Speaker
Tachi, the floor is yours. Let us know what category you're going with first and what your pick is. ah My plan is actually completely been derailed. um Completely. We haven't even started yet. I realized some of my picks actually didn't release in January. I should have vetted all of my movies, but so I'm going to have to pivot before anything has even happened. If it was a wide release in January, i think that's fine.
00:20:24
Speaker
No matter what Malik said. What is it? If it, what do you mean? You can't just have limited releases. Limited could be one screen. No, no, no. i was no no the rules You said no wide releases in January. that's not what I meant. Is that what I said? Yes. That's not what I meant. I meant no limited release in December, and then it was a wide release in January.
00:20:47
Speaker
So, like, example, Pan's Labyrinth had a limited release at the end of December, the year it came out. And then in January, it had a wide release. But I would count it as a December release.
00:21:00
Speaker
See, I wouldn't, because limited release can mean anything. Like it was screened at con or something. and We just. you Let's just roll with what we have. Let's just roll with what have. Okay, Tachi, if it helps, if you need picks, you can do what Alex said.
00:21:15
Speaker
It can be a limited release. sure your picks are right, Tachi. If they were just wide released in December or in January, in temporary there's there's one in particular neither were actually released in january i don't know what happened just one i think so so far okay so let's just after because it can't be yeah yeah and then after the after we'll talk about our our other picks oh my god i've been lied to so many times um oh actually remind this one works okay so this really wasn't what i wanted to start with because i don't think this will be picked
00:21:55
Speaker
out of any category, but it's safe. So I'm going to start with the category twenty ten s And my choice is the Revenant.
00:22:07
Speaker
And I'm starting with this because I think growing up, I had, uh, an interest in movies. Like I I've always really enjoyed them.
00:22:19
Speaker
i just never truly cared until I saw the Revenant in theaters and I was like, holy crap, like this is what movies are all about. Like this looks amazing. I couldn't get enough.
00:22:30
Speaker
And it was the first movie I ever bought on Blu-ray. wow. Have opened it on Blu-ray? No, but I have it and physical media is the future. So it's okay. What category was that in 2010s?
00:22:43
Speaker
twenty ten s Yeah. Revenant. And that's Leo's first Oscar, right? I believe so. His only Oscar. I have seen the Revenant. I'm going to be honest. I don't really remember it other than the bear scene. Like, I don't remember.
00:22:57
Speaker
Yeah. like why is he out there? What year is this? Like, I don't remember any details about the Fur trapping, right? I think so. Tom Hardy is also really great in it. Yeah, something like that.
00:23:09
Speaker
Cool. Yeah. Am I in the middle? You are in the middle. All right. Good pick Tachi. All right. there's There's a couple categories where I only have one movie.
00:23:19
Speaker
um It started to get a little bit slim pickings the later in time we got. So example for my for both my action and my 2010s category, I only found one movie.
00:23:32
Speaker
So I'm going to do one of those just in case either of you have it and you take it and then I'm screwed. I'm going to go with action because I think you it's more likely that you guys would have taken this one. um This movie was released January 30th, 2009.
00:23:44
Speaker
two thousand and nine And it has a very particular set of skills.
00:23:51
Speaker
And the movie is Taken. Starring Liam Neeson. You've Taken Taken. I've Taken Taken. Say what you want about the movie.
00:24:01
Speaker
I'm not going to listen to you. I like Taken. It's iconic. It is. I will find you and I will kill you. Did really great things his career. the from like the second or third one.
00:24:15
Speaker
Oh, Jumping Over the Fence? Yeah. Is that from a Taken movie? The one that's like 30 cuts? Yeah. yeah And then Stranger Things paid an homage to it with the Millie Bobby Brown work. Yeah, running across the line. They have 40 cuts.
00:24:28
Speaker
The cut of him hitting the floor. It takes me out every time. All right. Go ahead, Alex. So I'm a little scared that this is going to get taken because its backup is the worst movie I've ever seen in theaters. um But it was the only other one I could find, really. so I'm going to do horror January 2008.
00:24:56
Speaker
Cloverfield was released. Damn it. I had that as my number one. Let's go. I knew I knew someone was going to take it. Man, you guys really good. It was on my list. Yeah, the draft is all about strategy and you guys have already been sniped.
00:25:13
Speaker
I am winning this if not by vote than by gamesmanship. That's good. That honestly might be the best play in our in our draft so far. yeah That's a good pick. Well, there's only been three picks, so. That's true. ah Good pick, or good pick.
00:25:27
Speaker
What am I trying to say here? I just had a stroke. um Oh my God. Great pick. No. had a story about Cloverfield, and I don't know how I was going to like segue into saying it. Good pick. Here's a story. i can i mean I can start with my own story. This monster lived rent-free in my head for years.
00:25:48
Speaker
I loved it so much. thought it was so cool. I even had him made in... Remember the video game Spore? Does anyone remember Spore? Yes. yeah Had the monster made in Spore. And I would play as him. I'd run around and I'd do Spore things in a Spore way. and Fun.
00:26:04
Speaker
That was such a good game. Oh, I'd love to play a remastered version of it. My story was, i more than positive with that it was my idea to take my, or ask my family to go watch this movie with me. This 2008, I was 13. I think it's saw the trailer and I was like, that looks sick as hell.
00:26:21
Speaker
So I got my mom, my brother, and my grandma. really Not really knowing like the full scope of what the movie was, that was the last time my grandma went to the movie theaters. was saying Cloverfield, it traumatized her. It traumatized her. She's like, the camera was shaky. It was scary. I thought it was a roller coaster.
00:26:41
Speaker
Was this the first American kaiju movie?
00:26:46
Speaker
not about them Not counting like one of those like Godzilla's. Yeah. Like our own kaiju. Yeah. I don't know if it would be the first, but it was the first opportunity to at least make an American kaiju.
00:27:00
Speaker
I'm so stupid. It's not. It's King Kong. Oh. um Duh. I feel like King Kong. um i Yeah. I feel like King Kong would have been like an international IP, honestly. ah I mean, it came out in like the thirty s King Kong predates Godzilla because King Kong, I think, predates the atomic bomb.
00:27:21
Speaker
Which is nuts. And Godzilla is like, you know, and ah a ah well, it started as a um a cautionary tale of using nuclear weapons.
00:27:32
Speaker
Oh, yeah. yeah i now it's over Now it's just CGI monsters punching each other out, and it's so sick. and Both are sick. Both are sick. I think Cloverfield...
00:27:45
Speaker
We don't like reboots. I think Cloverfield should be rebooted. I think they had a chance to be like a really good series. And i really enjoyed 10 Cloverfield Lane. Cloverfield Paradox was just dog doo-doo.
00:27:58
Speaker
Let's give this another shot. Let's get like an iconic another iconic American Kaiju with Cloverfield. I'm in. I'd be down. Yeah. Alright, Alex. Take us to your second pick.
Alex's 'Phantom Thread' Pick and Praise
00:28:11
Speaker
Bitch. I'm going to go twenty ten s And this is another one that I think you guys could snipe, especially you, Malik. Oh my God, dude. I swear to God, I only have one in this. It's another gamesmanship pick.
00:28:25
Speaker
And it came out January 19th, 2019. Okay. And
00:28:32
Speaker
and it is Paul Thomas amers Anderson's Phantom Thread, starring Daniel Day-Lewis. I did have it on my list, but it wasn't my pick for that. Just, I think,
00:28:45
Speaker
the is one of, if not Daniel Day-Lewis' best role. Ooh. He is so convincing in it. um And I still, I love the set design in it so much.
00:28:59
Speaker
Especially like the New Year's scene with the rocket. I love the New Year's scene. Yeah. So good. It also has one of the all-time crazy scary ladies of cinema.
00:29:14
Speaker
Who's that? The main character. she just She's crazy scary? Yes. I think she is. Aren't they both crazy scary? Yes. they're they're They've looks maxed each other so hard.
00:29:30
Speaker
It's a romantic movie. They match each other's freak for sure. They really do. They're both freaks in the streets and freaks in the sheets. That's a great movie. I watched that for the first time right before one battle after another, and I loved it.
00:29:47
Speaker
It's very good. It's a very good movie. All right. Back to me. Yep. Yep. I'm doing my 2010s before. i really thought you were going take it. That was really scary.
00:29:59
Speaker
um We'll end off this category, but this movie was such an experience that Simply for the fact that at the very end of the movie, we find out that it's a sequel to another movie from the 90s.
Malik's 'Split' Choice and Twist Revelation
00:30:17
Speaker
It was not marketed like that. Nobody knew. so like you had to have seen it that opening weekend. And I remember watching it at opening weekend and being like, what the actual hell? I genuinely can't even think of what this is.
00:30:29
Speaker
The movie. I think I know. is split yeah directed by m night Shyamalan released January 20th, 2017. No one knew that this was a sequel to unbreakable that Bruce Willis movie, weird superhero movie that came out in the nineties.
00:30:45
Speaker
And then that was like the, the Marvel post credit sequence. I think they walked into a bar and he's sitting right there. i was like,
00:30:55
Speaker
I was hooting and hollering in my seat. So 2017 split. I like that movie. Glass. is Not so much. I love Unbreakable, but I'm here for it. So that's my pick.
00:31:07
Speaker
Spoo is on my list. Nice. it Back to me. Back to you. OK, I'm going to go with romance.
00:31:17
Speaker
This is my pivot. um This movie was released January 2018. twenty eighteen stars our boy timothy chalamet in call me by your name good pig really great movie about uh young love yearning and it's just shot fruit fruit included um yeah just a really sweet movie for the most part um i really liked it
00:31:54
Speaker
swedish
00:31:56
Speaker
American. Alex has thoughts. The age gap prevents me from thinking it's a particularly sweet movie.
00:32:08
Speaker
um
00:32:11
Speaker
It's like, ah you know, it's just a little bit of sure. little Epstein ish. It is. It is sweet. And then you remember the implication.
00:32:23
Speaker
Yeah. It's all about the implication. Yeah. ah Good pick. What's your second? Second pick is my wild card pick. It was going to be split, but now... Let's go.
00:32:37
Speaker
This movie was released January 12, 2007.
00:32:40
Speaker
I don't know if you guys will guess it, but it is a movie i actually haven't even seen, but I really do want to see. I don't know this is for these drafts. Yeah. You're taking a prospect without watching any game film. that's ah
00:32:56
Speaker
It's also just like the spirit of the movie.
Tachi's Wild Card Pick: 'Stomp the Yard'
00:32:59
Speaker
Okay. it It calls to me and I think it's something that we need these days. And this movie Stomp the Yard. Oh, you haven't seen Stomp the Yard? I've never never seen Stomp the Yard, but I just, I love the idea of it.
00:33:15
Speaker
And I think movies like this just don't get made anymore. That's a crazy pick, honestly. I kept seeing it when I was doing research. And I was like, stomp the yard.
00:33:27
Speaker
i've's I've actually heard a lot of good things. Yeah, I think so. Oh, no, that's... think that's from Dodgeball. That's not Camp Rock. What did you say, Tachi? it was Dodgeball. that's not The purple cobras. No, what I just did is stomp the yard. Okay.
00:33:42
Speaker
Wait, let me like let me look up Stomp the Yard real quick just so I can make sure. I don't want to... Alright, one sec. I don't even know who was in Stomp the Yard. Was that Channing's movie? Oh, yeah. Megan Good, Neo, Chris Brown, Mother's Milk from The Boys, okay and some guy who's squinting way too hard in this picture.
00:34:03
Speaker
Oh, my God. The craziest thing happens in the first 10 minutes of this movie is I wish I could talk about it, but now you have to watch it. Yeah, I really want to watch it. Okay, I just... That's a really good pick for Wild Card. I really here's like Here's like the first two sentences of the plot.
00:34:26
Speaker
DJ Williams is a young man in inner city l LA. He and his younger brother, Duran, compete in a local dance competition as members of a crew known as the Goon Squad. um Yeah, this is like one of the moves. I just remember we'd always go like that because they're like the snakes. Sure. then you'd walking around like that.
00:34:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:47
Speaker
That's awesome. cool Congratulations. Thank you. I'm really happy about that one. um Oh, wait. I need to... How do i What have I done? You did split for 2010s and... Okay, i just want to make sure highlight them so that way I don't repeat.
00:35:06
Speaker
Let's see here. i don't think you guys going to steal those, so I'll wait. I'll also do my wild card. Now, this was my number one pick, and then I ran into Phantom Thread, but I was like, I can't pick two Paul Thomas Anderson movies.
00:35:26
Speaker
I'm not going to do that. And I'm going to do the one that like is such a trip is so good. This was also a recent watch. I picked it up at I think half price books like six months ago and I watched it.
00:35:41
Speaker
But for my wild card, I'm going for PTAs Magnolia released January 7th, 2000. need to borrow that from you. Have you seen it? No. Okay. i mean That's why I said I need to borrow it from you. Yes. You both du both can borrow it and share it.
00:35:58
Speaker
Great movie. Great movie. That's all I'll
00:36:04
Speaker
say. Alex. Okay. Go ahead.
00:36:08
Speaker
Right now. i think I think I'm safe from poaching territory. Maybe. I would be shocked if you pulled some of these.
00:36:21
Speaker
However, i am going to go with my wild card.
00:36:31
Speaker
January 25th, 1961. Oh my God. oh my god Oh God. 101 Dalmatians. Wow.
00:36:41
Speaker
Good pull. That is a good pull. What list were you looking at? i I got my sources, okay? We we got shooters in Team Alex. our Our research core goes deep. I like how I sent the website. I'm like, hey, guys, here's what you can use. And Alex is like, oh, I got bookmarks on known sites you've never heard of. Buddy, I have terabytes of movie databases you haven't even poured 101 Dalmatians. Movies you've never even heard of.
00:37:11
Speaker
What year did that come out? 1961. That's insane. The original animated one. Oh, that was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Really good. It's one of my favorite movies as a kid. i we used to watch it every single time I got sick.
00:37:29
Speaker
Aww. Yeah. it was at my grandma's house, too. They're a fun um Easter egg in one of Tachi and I's favorite video game series, Kingdom Hearts. Is it really an Easter egg if there's just Disney characters for days in that?
00:37:44
Speaker
Not an Easter egg. What's the word I'm looking for, Tachi? Cameo? I don't know. the So they're they're spread throughout all of the different worlds. I guess you're supposed to like find Dalmatians. It's like a little side mission.
00:37:55
Speaker
Treasure hunt? A treasure hunt. Okay. Yeah, they're they're a fun little treasure hunt in there. Are there 101 them? I don't remember that at all. I think there's 101 them, if I'm not mistaken, like theyre throughout the entire game. Maybe.
00:38:08
Speaker
I could be wrong, though. Shadow Kingdom Hearts. Yeah. Good pick. Yeah. Man, this is hard. these are These teams are looking good.
00:38:18
Speaker
And then I'm going to follow it up with a very similar movie. We're going to go Action. January 18th, 2002.
00:38:31
Speaker
Black Hawk Down. Oh. Good choice. I didn't see that.
00:38:39
Speaker
Very similar thematically to 101 Dalmatians. In what way? mean, no, but when you think about it, it kind of is, okay? ahead. You have, what is it, Pongo and per Purdy?
00:38:54
Speaker
Yeah, sure. They go into enemy territory at their own risk to rescue the stranded puppies. And in Blackhawk Down, Gordon and Shudart rope in to the ah down Blackhawk helicopter to defend Mike Durant.
00:39:10
Speaker
Different outcomes. ah But thematically similar moments.
00:39:19
Speaker
Sure. I guess so. And you can find that with a lot of movies, I'm sure. because what Isn't there only like seven stories that we tell, basically? Okay, but Black Hawk Down really happened.
00:39:32
Speaker
There's only seven possibilities in life and in movies. You better hope you're in the good one. I mean, sure. Okay. All right.
00:39:43
Speaker
um I don't think you guys going to take this, but I'm going to it because I love it. I'm going comedy and I'm going into, I'm diving into my top four on Letterboxd with Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
00:39:55
Speaker
Oh God. Released December 22nd, 2000. two thousand No, you didn't steal it from me because I'm thinking three steps ahead. but it's a great pick. It is a great pick. I was considering it. A man of constant sorrow is one of the greatest songs ever put to film.
00:40:10
Speaker
i actually I actually saw a tweet today and it was like, George Clooney is one of those actors who's like just very good, you know solid actor and everything. But then he's the greatest actor of all time in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? He's so good in this movie and he's so funny, snappy. like I love the performance. this Christopher Nolan has a lot of work to do.
00:40:33
Speaker
because this is so far my favorite Odyssey adaptation. We'll see if the Odyssey can beat this, but this is where it's at for me. OK, good pick.
00:40:46
Speaker
Is it my turn? It is you. OK.
Action Category: Tachi Picks '1917'
00:40:50
Speaker
um For action. yeah I'm going to go with action. Let me make sure on the dates here.
00:40:58
Speaker
OK, yeah, so this had a wide release. On January 10th, 2020, a little bit more recent. It's a war movie and it is 1917.
00:41:14
Speaker
Probably a top five war movie in my opinion. Wow. One of favorites. yeah Very dumpuary-ish.
00:41:25
Speaker
Really? You don't like it? No. No, I'm just saying. I was going to be really shocked. Another dumpuary banger. That's what I'm saying. like a lot of these like These are good movies.
00:41:37
Speaker
m Screw dumpuary. Every month's a good month for movies. Okay, that leaves me with... Three categories remaining horror comedy and my hear me out.
00:41:52
Speaker
Let's see. Let me double check. can't wait hear you guys' hear me outs. I have a poll.
00:42:00
Speaker
Okay. I don't even know if I liked this movie. i probably won't present day. Actually, you know what?
00:42:12
Speaker
I'm willing to give this a second shot. This is you not like it the first time. I think I did. OK. But it's very 2009 ish. Which which category are you doing?
00:42:24
Speaker
This is a good point. This is comedy. OK. Released January 16th, 2009. I think it was a ah product at the time, but. This movie is Paul Blart Mall Cop.
00:42:37
Speaker
That's a good pick. I did see Paul Blart. It had a stranglehold for a while. It did. Like... Does it hold up today?
00:42:49
Speaker
Probably not. Probably not. There were some on this. I think it would hold up better than others that I saw on this list. I was never going to consider these for comedy. Sure. But off the top of my head, there was a haunted house, which is like ide that spoof movie with like the Wayans brothers about like oh paranormal activity. h If you remember that one, yeah there was epic movie.
00:43:13
Speaker
Do you guys remember those? It was like, so they had Scary Movie, Scary Movie 1, Scary Movie 2, and then I don't know if it was the same company, but someone made almost spinoffs of Scary Movie with like their, they had superhero movie and an epic movie. So the epic movie is making fun of like big action blockbusters, superhero movie, all the superhero movies.
00:43:33
Speaker
stupid as bricks movies. Dumb as hell. I did notice that Meet the Spartans was a... Meet the Spartans is another one of those. It's a dumpuary movie. Movie 43 was a dumpuary movie. forty three But my brother and I thought those movies were the funniest things when we were younger. But I know those were not holed I'm going to tell you what.
00:43:52
Speaker
I think Movie 43 is the most overhated movie of all time. It's not that bad. I saw it recently. It's genuinely, I think like... I didn't know it was like a skit thing, but like people freak out the fact that there's like no plot and it's all just like sketches.
00:44:08
Speaker
Yeah. Some of the sketches are so funny. Like straight up, like I think you should leave type stuff. Yes. They're hilarious. It is the most overhated movie ever.
00:44:21
Speaker
I also watched it for the first time in high school. That could have influenced that because that's yeah you know was dumb but i still think it's funny like that's the it's a circle like we we're we're younger we think something stupid is funny we get a little bit older we're like that's ridiculous and then we get a little bit older we loop right back around we're like that is so stupid it's funny so maybe we're at that point again
00:44:52
Speaker
If Dumpy Worry was in a different month, what would it be called? It was like March. If it was March, I think it would be called Fart. Farch. Dumptober.
00:45:07
Speaker
Dumbgest. Dumbgest.
00:45:13
Speaker
I like dumbgest.
00:45:18
Speaker
All right. Let me go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go now. Oh, wait. Did I do two? Huh? Yeah, you did too. Oh, okay. Cool. Right? did he did You did comedy and... Oh, I did 1917. Yep. Yeah, yeah. ahead.
00:45:30
Speaker
All right. right I'm going to do romance. We're going all the way back to January 27th, 1995 with the most romantic movie anyone has ever seen.
00:45:42
Speaker
Simple premise. Two people walking around the streets of Paris falling in love. Surprised to see this was a January release. But this is the first in the trilogy. before sunrise by Richard Linklater.
00:45:56
Speaker
So good. The sweet cakes milkshake scene. So good. One of my favorite movies of all time. Literally. When that poetry scene happened, I remember looking at my dad and we just both very acknowledged that this was peak.
00:46:09
Speaker
Yeah. It's one of those like, like this is it. And it it just, and it keeps that same pace, like not even just throughout the movie. I think throughout the entire trilogy.
00:46:20
Speaker
That was a code fine for us. Hmm. choice. And that's me. I'm also going to go romance for this next pick. And I'm going to do the one that probably started it all.
00:46:35
Speaker
January 23rd, 1943. Oh my God. Casablanca. Wow. Never seen it. It is like one of the cornerstone movies.
00:46:51
Speaker
There are so many things in that movie where you watch it, you're like, oh, that's where this came from. Yeah. It's it's truly incredible. I haven't seen it in a very long time. That'd be a good one to rewatch.
00:47:04
Speaker
What year did that come out? 1943. 43. That's crazy. There's one classic I've seen. i think it was Ben-Hur. Ben-Hur rips.
00:47:15
Speaker
I haven't seen Ben-Hur. The chariot racing. It's ours or something. So cool. Yeah, I've seen clips of it.
00:47:23
Speaker
I should put you on some classics. You guys seen Lawrence of Arabia? Let's do a classic month. We should. Maybe once Oscar season is over, we can do a classic month. There is a 4K remaster of Lawrence of Arabia coming out this year.
00:47:40
Speaker
I did see that. got an ad for the DVD. I haven't seen it, but I'd be down to grab that. and sure it looks amazing. Lawrence of Arabia is so just like, oh, it's so good. So good.
00:47:52
Speaker
But I'm delaying. The next nail in your coffin, the next pick going to make, is my comedy. And I'm going to go January 19th, 2001.
00:48:07
Speaker
With Snatch. Snatch? Directed by Guy Ritchie. What is Snatch? Starring Jason Statham, Brad Pitt, Benito Del Toro.
00:48:24
Speaker
One second. 2000. What is this? I'm going to be honest. I have never heard of this, but that is the cast. You have problems. thanks Is this a big movie?
00:48:36
Speaker
It's fairly popular. Yeah. Really? I mean, I'm sure it is. Look at this cast. Brad Pitt. Yeah. Jason Statham, Benicio, Vinnie Jones. That is a very British movie. It's very British.
Comedy Category: Alex Picks 'Snatch'
00:48:50
Speaker
But it's kind of funny, like the opposite of like train spotting. Just from the poster. Similar ish vibes. OK. But it's like about like crime in London, but it's really funny.
00:49:06
Speaker
love Brad Pitt has Brad Pitt has an all time accent in this movie.
00:49:13
Speaker
Should I watch it? Yes. Okay. You should. Okay. It's on Netflix. It's gas. All right. I'll take your word for it. It's an Alex 9 out of 10.
00:49:24
Speaker
Wow. That's really hard. Actually, it's in your watch list already. No, it's not. Yes, it is. How do you see this so quick? Because I'm on Letterboxd right now looking at it.
00:49:35
Speaker
Okay, so wait. If you go on a movie, you can see... Activity from Friends. I can see who's rated it. Oh, want to watch? Yes. Bro. You want to watch it. I don't know what this is.
00:49:48
Speaker
Okay. But you want to watch it. how long I wonder how long it's been there. Maybe I was doing like a Guy Ritchie thing and i was like, haven't seen this one. million people have seen this movie on Letterboxd. This is in the one million watch club.
00:50:03
Speaker
Jesus Christ. I mean, i guess I was lying when I said I hadn't heard of it because as apparently I had. So it's there. I took it off my watch list and I re-edited it. is that way It's at the top.
00:50:15
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you this evidence that Malik, and to a lesser extent Tachi, does not know Ball. And this is why you should vote Alex for this draft's winner.
00:50:28
Speaker
I only... What was my stat for my Letterboxd draft? but I think it was like a handful of movies watched from my watch list. That's going to change this year. I just need to knock them out before I start adding more.
00:50:42
Speaker
Alright. Two more categories. We got horror. Or for me, I have horror and hear me out. a Me too. Shoot. So horror, you took mine. And I'm pissed about it.
00:50:54
Speaker
hope. I had split in horror, but I used that somewhere else. And I have two more. One of them.
00:51:05
Speaker
I'm going to go hear me out while I think about this. So hear me out. Less than 60% on Rotten Tomatoes. This movie was released January 23rd, 2004, and it has a 37% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, which I was shocked to see because I remember watching this movie when I was younger and I was just like, this is a fucking mindfuck trip of a movie. Like literally stick if you go back in time and change one thing, like anything could change. And I thought it was like so sad and so scary.
00:51:39
Speaker
The movie I picked for my Hear Me Out category is The Butterfly Effect starring Ashton Kutcher. oh i really i This movie tripped me out when i was younger, but I really liked it.
00:51:51
Speaker
It was just like a go to school the next day and talk to all your friends about it and be like, bro, have you guys seen this mindfuck of a movie? Ashton Kutcher's freaking crazy in it. I don't know if it holds up today. I'm sure it doesn't because the 37% critics is' kind of abysmal But that's my pick for Hear Me Out.
00:52:11
Speaker
We all have those movies where it's like, you look back you're just like staking your entire reputation on it. like now it's like, ooh. what was with
00:52:23
Speaker
Guys, this is the godfather of our generation. And it's starring Ashton Kutcher. I remember desperately trying to go see Chernobyl Diaries in theaters. In like high school or middle school or something.
00:52:39
Speaker
It's like, why No one wanted to go with you? No, like we had people trying to go for like my birthday or something, but it was out of theaters by then. We were crushed. ah still haven't seen it.
00:52:52
Speaker
heard it was awful.
00:52:57
Speaker
All right, Tachi, I think these are your last two. Yeah, think I'm nailing down my last pick. Okay, so my first one is going to be the horror category.
00:53:12
Speaker
This was released.
00:53:17
Speaker
Okay, does it count if it had a limited release in January, but a wide release on February 1st? Yes, that does count. you like You're good. You can take that. So this was released, I think officially February 1st, 2013.
00:53:30
Speaker
It's a horror comedy, horror romance with Nicholas Holt. It is Warm Bodies. Whoa, 2013. twenty thirteen Yeah, little bit older than I thought it would be, but I remember it being pretty fun.
00:53:45
Speaker
Warm Bodies. And then I, if I, I don't know if I'm mistaken, but I feel like there's a remake of Warm Bodies recently. I'm not sure though. Because we were watching, um I was watching Pop Culture Jeopardy and I remember something about Warm Bodies coming up and I was like, o I don't know, I don't know. I'll have to look at that. I do remember that movie though. Good pick.
00:54:07
Speaker
Thank you. And my final pick is going to be a Hear Me Out. o And this one is actually the third in its series. ah Alex, you may be familiar, but it's the Ip Man series.
00:54:25
Speaker
This was the release of Ip Man 3, released limited theatrical January 2016. And Yen is the star in all of the major Ip Man movies, and he's incredible.
00:54:40
Speaker
One of the greatest martial art movie stars um ever. One and two are legitimately insanely good movies.
00:54:51
Speaker
Yep. Three is a little, ah thought it was a little silly. are one and two full rated higher. Four is bad. Like, the stunts are cool, but, like, the plot is so stupid.
00:55:04
Speaker
The plot in one and two, I think, is legit great. Like, genuinely awesome. And they're fantastic. Two... These were movies that I stake my reputation on in middle school and high school. And when the second one came out, we had like a watch party on New Year's Eve for it.
00:55:23
Speaker
And it finally came on Netflix. I mean, there were like maybe.
00:55:31
Speaker
Eight people like eight of my friends and their parents like watching this movie by the end. It was actually electric. That sounds awesome.
00:55:42
Speaker
No, it has some amazing fight sequences. Malik, you really need to watch them. Okay. It, man. Got it. Sir. Great soundtrack. Horror is my last one. This is where Malik fumbles.
00:55:56
Speaker
Dude, I might fumble. This might be it for me, guys. um I don't know if you guys have seen this movie. This is what I'll go with, and I'll talk about my alternative pick once we're done.
00:56:08
Speaker
This movie came out January 10th, 2020. twenty twenty This is one of the last movies I saw in theaters before. Well, I guess that's not true because there we saw it in March. um I like this movie. It's got an actress I really love and a big-ass sea monster that's scary.
00:56:25
Speaker
I'm going Underwater, starring Kristen Stewart. I got a poster for this in my office hanging. I like this movie. I will. I'm a shooter for this movie.
00:56:37
Speaker
Actually, what is the one?
00:56:42
Speaker
Our numbers are growing strong. I'm going to see what the Rotten Tomatoes score is for this. It can't be high. All right. Underwater 2020 has score Tomatoes. and a sixty percent audience score on ro tomatoes um I think most of you are wrong.
00:57:00
Speaker
I think you need more whimsy in your life and to have more fun with Kristen Stewart underwater fighting monsters. I rest my case. Underwater is great.
00:57:12
Speaker
Have you seen it? You guys seen it? I have not. but youha You're the biggest Kristen Stewart defender I know. so How about both of you put it in your watch list right now? Speaking of Kristen Stewart, have you listened to new Lord Huron album?
00:57:29
Speaker
No. She has an entire spoken word song in it. Wow. yeah That was their lead single off the album too. Wow. it is not I don't even think it's like top...
00:57:42
Speaker
seven songs on the album, but it's probably their top three songs of all time. And it's not three or two. okay i could tell you that much, buddy. You're getting choked. Next time I see you, I'm a, you want to talk about shooters?
00:57:58
Speaker
I am the Lee Harvey Oswald of Lord Huron. That's insane. That's quite a title. like Lord Huron Oswald. Yeah.
00:58:12
Speaker
We are getting taken off the air and it's going to be all my fault. I think every time it's been you. is I think I've had a couple. It has been me every single time because I am the one who is the bravest to say what needs to be said. You're brave?
00:58:28
Speaker
Yes. It's And it's always unprompted too. It's actually half of it's like bra like bravery, half it's like utter stupidity and probably a little bit of autism. but Why about you take your autism and finish out your categories? It's not how that works, dude. It might be. i don't know.
00:58:55
Speaker
I'm telling you, it's not how it works. Hear me out. January 21st, 2010. This movie had a stranglehold on me and I've seen it one time and it I still hold it in really high regard and I know if I watched it again, it would probably be terrible. 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh my God.
00:59:20
Speaker
Legion starring Paul Bettany. Wow. Honestly, i would fight for that movie too. I did see it on the list. it's It is a movie, for those who don't know,
00:59:33
Speaker
It's a movie about God starting the apocalypse. Yeah. Hmm. It's got. It has a like oddly stacked cast of like people you've all seen.
00:59:47
Speaker
um But yeah, when God loses faith in humanity, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the apocalypse. Humanity's only hope for survival lies in a group of strangers trapped in an out of the way desert diner with the archangel Michael.
01:00:02
Speaker
Paul Bettany plays the Archangel in the posters of him spreading his wings, carrying a knife and a machine gun. Sick. I bet that riffs. Starring Paul paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, a.k.a. a ah Sean from Tokyo Drift.
01:00:21

01:00:45
Speaker
i remember being really excited for that movie when I saw the trailer drop. Yeah, same. The poster does look really cool. I saw it. I didn't write it down, but I like that pic. Was that your last category?
01:00:58
Speaker
Yeah, it's just peak, like mid 2000s, early aughts, just early or late aughts, just kind of slot. slop All right.
01:01:12
Speaker
Let's um go back over the list with each of our picks in the category, and then we could talk about our alternate picks. um I'll go first. So for action. I did Taken, Horror, Underwater, Comedy, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, 2010's Split, Wild Card, Magnolia, Hear Me Out, The Butterfly Effect, and Romance Before Sunrise.
Hear Me Out Category: Tachi Picks 'Ip Man 3'
01:01:37
Speaker
My pick for 2010's was The Revenant. My wild card pick was Stomp the Yard, naturally. Romance was Call Me By Your Name. Action was 1917.
01:01:48
Speaker
Comedy, Paul Blart Mock Hop. Hear Me Out, Ip Man 3, and Horror Warm Bodies.
01:01:58
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, the list of films you're about to hear for the final time are the only films that you should vote for.
01:02:07
Speaker
Choose with your heart and your mind, for they will lead you to the same place. And these are for Action Black Hawk Down, for Horror Cloverfield, for Comedy Snatch, for the 2010s Phantom Thread, for the Wild Card 101 Dalmatians, for Romance we had Casablanca, and for the Hear Me Out we had Legion.
01:02:29
Speaker
I'm going to be honest, this could go anyway. Maybe not. If it doesn't go my way, I'm quitting the podcast. Alex, I do you feel like you have a pretty strong team.
01:02:41
Speaker
I agree. I have a strong team like for us.
01:02:47
Speaker
That's all that matters. But I need to appeal to the general audience, which is why i am making such an impassioned claim. Vote for me. Vote for change. 2026 is your year.
01:03:01
Speaker
um I actually don't have a lot of alternate picks. Do you guys? No, I had four or three. Okay. What are they? For action, i had Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
01:03:14
Speaker
Oh, I didn't see that one. For horror, I had Insidious, The Last Key, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
01:03:26
Speaker
And then for romance, from January 7th, 1946, It's a Wonderful Life. oh Wow, that would have been a good pick. That would have been good one.
01:03:39
Speaker
It would have been a great pick. And it was wild that that was a January movie, but we had just done an episode on and I wanted to talk about Casablanca. That's fair. um I only have a couple here for horror. This one could have also gone in the Hear Me Out, but I felt i had more conviction with the butterfly effect.
01:03:57
Speaker
Do you guys remember? This has a 0% critic score from Rotten Tomatoes, by the way. 29% audience. Let me know guys remember this movie. One missed call. who zoom remember that movie I remember seeing it on Redbox.
01:04:13
Speaker
Yes. On the thing. With the eyes, right? Yep. Like the the the eyes with the mouth. I never watched it. I never watched it. i just tried I watched it. I remember it freaked me out. And I changed it to my phone's ringtone. Because it was like ah it was very Not similar, but they took something like from the ring in a way. Like if you hear like the ringtone and like it's calling your phone, you hear this ringtone, you answer it. Then like you're going to die in X amount of days or whatever. But there's a certain ringtone and I had it as my phone's ringtone for a little bit. Is it a remake of a Korean movie? I am like 80% positive it is It looks like it because there was a one missed call to that looks Korean released in 2005.
01:04:57
Speaker
Yeah, this was released in 2008.
01:05:00
Speaker
So it is a remake then. oh It's...
01:05:07
Speaker
No, it's Japanese. Oh, it's directed by Takashi Miike. oh that probably is worth a watch. He's a pretty pretty wild director. Have you guys seen... I'd watch the OG for sure.
01:05:20
Speaker
Have you guys watched Ichi the Killer? I haven't. No. That's a great... You don't watch that around your significant others. Ichi the Killer. 13 Assassins rips.
01:05:32
Speaker
Like, unbelievably rips. That sounds funny. And the one I really want to see by him is Audition. But, yeah, I don't know why I thought that movie was Korean, but I guess Japanese.
01:05:43
Speaker
I'm pretty much sure I've seen 13 Assassins. think I liked it. moved Ichi to my watch list. 0% critics on that movie is actually crazy.
01:05:55
Speaker
Yeah. Ichi the Killer has the craziest title card you will ever see.
01:06:03
Speaker
title cards like it is unbelievable it puts like marty supreme to shame i'll watch it just for that um i also had for comedy along came polly oh with ben stiller and jennifer aniston yeah and it has a really funny philip seymour hoffman performance the basketball scene the basketball scene yeah love it it's him And for romance, I had this one as like a backup just in case someone took before sunrise because I was having a hard time finding romance. But that awkward moment.
01:06:38
Speaker
Released January 31st, 2014, starring Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan. and a Oh, yeah. teller think I watched a couple years ago. That awkward moment. You can't pick a good movie for your draft. Shut up.
01:06:53
Speaker
That's what I had. I also saw that there was a movie called The Housemaid released in like the ninety s in Japan. Which I think might have been like the original adaptation from The Housemaid that just was released.
01:07:07
Speaker
Yeah, I saw that too. Yeah, it wasn't any good. Couldn't have been as good. Oh, there's one from 1960. Damn. A remake of the remake of the remake of the adaptation.
01:07:20
Speaker
Housemaid-ception. This was a book. thought it was too. I thought it was too. It was written by a romance author. forgot her name. Or maybe they're just similar names. That's a very easy name i have a to name a movie. I didn't look too into it. I just saw the the similar titles.
01:07:36
Speaker
I don't think these are related at all One... I had one alternate that you guys didn't take. It was underworld, but not even the original. it was like the second or third. Did you guys watch those?
01:07:48
Speaker
Underworld. The vampires versus werewolves. Yeah. I remember those. Twilight? Really, really big in the 2000s. It's got a, oh my God, who's it got?
