Get Shorty
19 Plays4 months ago
Remember when Gene Hackman, John Travolta, Rene Russo, Danny DeVito, James Gandolfini, Delroy Lindo, and about 15 more great actors all got together with Barry Sonnenfeld directing and did a wildly fun gangster action comedy that was funny and meta as heck?
We didn't either. But here it is -- Get Shorty!

Introduction to 'Movie Life Crisis' Podcast
00:00:02
Speaker
Welcome to Movie Life Crisis.
00:00:04
Speaker
Join us as we watch the best movies from 30 years ago.
00:00:13
Speaker
He's a loan shark.
00:00:14
Speaker
I'm the one telling you how it is.
00:00:16
Speaker
He's got no respect for us.
00:00:18
Speaker
He's a producer.
00:00:20
Speaker
So you make movies, huh?
00:00:21
Speaker
A major Hollywood player.
00:00:22
Speaker
Together, they're going to make a killie.
00:00:26
Speaker
Yesterday you were a loan shark.
00:00:28
Speaker
Yeah, but I was never
Discussion on 'Get Shorty' Movie Plot and Themes
00:00:29
Speaker
that into it.
00:00:29
Speaker
John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, and Danny DeVito.
00:00:33
Speaker
Thought of a title yet?
00:00:35
Speaker
Get Shorty.
00:00:36
Speaker
All right, what's my motivation?
00:00:44
Speaker
Why'd they throw that gunshot in at the end?
00:00:47
Speaker
To make sure that people know that it was a movie where people shot other people?
00:00:51
Speaker
I don't know.
00:00:52
Speaker
I don't know, but did they?
00:00:54
Speaker
I mean, he did shoot people, but there wasn't a lot of shooting.
00:00:58
Speaker
Not a lot.
00:00:59
Speaker
Was there?
00:01:01
Speaker
I don't know.
00:01:01
Speaker
It seemed like John Travolta had a gun for a lot of it, but I also didn't think of it as like...
00:01:06
Speaker
It didn't seem like it was all that violent a movie.
00:01:09
Speaker
It wasn't like Pulp Fiction.
00:01:10
Speaker
It was just kind of like, it was like wacky, and then sometimes someone would shoot someone.
00:01:15
Speaker
But it was like, it wasn't even gory.
00:01:17
Speaker
It was just like funny.
00:01:18
Speaker
It was like violence, funny violence.
00:01:20
Speaker
I think that's what they were going for
Personal Experiences and Movie Choices
00:01:22
Speaker
too, though, right?
00:01:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:23
Speaker
I mean, dude, it says gangster comedy film.
00:01:26
Speaker
Right.
00:01:27
Speaker
Movie Life Crisis Season 5, Episode 25, Get Shorty.
00:01:31
Speaker
Criminy.
00:01:32
Speaker
I don't know if I ever saw this before.
00:01:35
Speaker
I've definitely seen it before.
00:01:36
Speaker
I have it on DVD.
00:01:37
Speaker
And it's a double thing.
00:01:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:39
Speaker
You know how you... Yeah.
00:01:41
Speaker
The Get Cool was in there with it.
00:01:42
Speaker
Get Cool from 2005.
00:01:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:45
Speaker
But I don't think I watched this more than once, which is weird because I enjoyed it.
00:01:50
Speaker
So, like, I don't... I don't know why.
00:01:53
Speaker
We were talking last episode about what we were going to do next.
00:01:55
Speaker
We were like, I don't know.
00:01:55
Speaker
We're kind of out of movies that we really want to do.
00:01:57
Speaker
There's a bunch of, like...
00:01:59
Speaker
Jumanji and Virtuosity and Housecast and whatever.
00:02:01
Speaker
Right.
00:02:02
Speaker
And I was like, dude, I think this is good.
00:02:03
Speaker
I feel like I've heard that it's good.
00:02:05
Speaker
I like all the people that's in it.
00:02:06
Speaker
Like, let's just do it.
00:02:07
Speaker
And then I watched it.
00:02:08
Speaker
I was like, this shit is really fun.
00:02:09
Speaker
I'm so glad that we did this.
00:02:11
Speaker
I probably would have never seen this if it wasn't for this podcast.
Meta Commentary on Hollywood and 'Get Shorty'
00:02:16
Speaker
And why?
00:02:17
Speaker
So that's, but I can't figure out why I didn't watch it before.
00:02:21
Speaker
Like you said, it's got a bunch of people in it.
00:02:24
Speaker
It's got nice reviews.
00:02:25
Speaker
It made some money.
00:02:26
Speaker
Like, I don't – why wouldn't I have watched this?
00:02:28
Speaker
I don't know, dude.
00:02:29
Speaker
But it hits all the right – I was thinking of like – because Barry Sonnenfeld directed it, and I was like, dude, I can kind of see like – I can see the bones for like Men in Black and Wild Wild West, where it's like funny and kind of wacky, like the timing's really good, and like the back and forth is great.
00:02:46
Speaker
And I was thinking about like Lucky Number Slevin and some of those kind of weird, funny, like crime heist movies.
00:02:53
Speaker
Dude, I love shit like that.
00:02:54
Speaker
This movie's like right up my alley.
00:02:56
Speaker
And I like when it's like meta Hollywood stuff where they're talking about making movies and then at the end they make the movie of the thing that they're talking about, which was actually the story that we just watched.
00:03:08
Speaker
Yeah, it was a whole bunch of inside baseball Hollywood stuff.
00:03:10
Speaker
And I liked it.
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:12
Speaker
It's like it's not a subtle metaphor at all that a mobster and a loan shark decides to get into the movie business.
00:03:17
Speaker
It's like, yeah.
00:03:18
Speaker
They're all crooks.
00:03:19
Speaker
That's the whole thing.
00:03:20
Speaker
It's awesome.
00:03:21
Speaker
That's the thing.
00:03:22
Speaker
That's the thing.
00:03:23
Speaker
And it's based on a novel by Elmore Leonard, and it's based on a guy that he actually knew who was a loan shark whose name was freaking Chili Palmer, who has a cameo in the movie.
00:03:32
Speaker
They don't say, like, it's a biopic or based on a true story, but it kind of is.
00:03:35
Speaker
Yeah, it kind of is.
00:03:38
Speaker
Dude, I don't want to be a loan shark, and I don't want to be in the movie making business, I don't think.
Humor and Critiques of Industry Norms
00:03:45
Speaker
If I had to pick between those two, if those are my only two job choices, I'm going to go movies.
00:03:50
Speaker
Give me the crab juice.
00:03:52
Speaker
I don't want... I don't think... Like, none of this stuff looks like it's appealing because, like you said, like, the movie people are...
00:04:01
Speaker
like in with the mob, like everything is tainted.
00:04:04
Speaker
I don't want to deal with anything.
00:04:06
Speaker
But like I say, I don't, you feel like every industry you could do, you're like, Oh, you know, it's, you know, what industry is, is pure as the driven snow pharmaceuticals.
00:04:16
Speaker
Like pick an industry where like airlines, they're whispered, they're super clean.
00:04:21
Speaker
They're clean as the priest.
00:04:22
Speaker
She's do.
00:04:23
Speaker
They're all crooked.
00:04:24
Speaker
They're all probably backed by drug and mob money.
00:04:26
Speaker
And they're probably all full of horrible people.
00:04:29
Speaker
stabbing each other to make more money.
00:04:31
Speaker
I think just to make more money.
00:04:32
Speaker
I'm like, that's what I think capitalism looks like up close there.
00:04:37
Speaker
Well there.
00:04:38
Speaker
So, and because it was a, um, uh, a mob thing and a, a loan shark, I could not think of the Richard Jenny bit about being a loan shark.
00:04:49
Speaker
And I was like, what was that?
00:04:51
Speaker
And then I remembered, uh, it's not really about a loan shark.
00:04:54
Speaker
It's about a girl getting her period.
00:04:57
Speaker
And the period is like a Lone Shark.
00:04:59
Speaker
And he's like, he walks up to the girl.
00:05:01
Speaker
He's like, hey, you have a baby this month.
00:05:04
Speaker
How many times we got to go through the same thing?
00:05:08
Speaker
I told you to.
00:05:09
Speaker
Boom.
00:05:09
Speaker
Hits her in the stomach.
00:05:10
Speaker
I'll be back next month.
00:05:11
Speaker
You wait for me right here.
00:05:13
Speaker
Like, dude, I looked all over for that and I couldn't find Lone Shark.
00:05:17
Speaker
And finally, after watching three Richard Ginny specials, I came across it and I realized that.
00:05:21
Speaker
That's the one it was.
00:05:22
Speaker
I was going to say, which special is that on?
00:05:24
Speaker
It's not Good Catholic Boy.
00:05:26
Speaker
That's from Steaming Pile of Me.
00:05:27
Speaker
Steaming Pile of Me.
00:05:28
Speaker
I got all of those.
00:05:29
Speaker
I haven't... God, I freaking... It's right before he... Do you like the waitress's tits, Richard?
Nostalgia and Movie Landscape of 1995
00:05:39
Speaker
I think how much fun Richard Ginny's podcast would be if he was still alive, because he's freaking so weird and funny.
00:05:46
Speaker
That shit would be...
00:05:48
Speaker
I feel so bad for people like that because I know he was tortured, but he's so funny.
00:05:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:55
Speaker
So funny.
00:05:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:56
Speaker
Dude, almost done with 1995, which is good because the tail end of 95 was like, we got a bunch of fine movies.
00:06:02
Speaker
But then I started looking at 96.
00:06:03
Speaker
It's like, oh, dude, I cannot wait.
00:06:07
Speaker
Dude, Ackerman was just telling me, he was like, man, the stuff you and JT talk about is for reals because I was listening to something else and they were like, oh my God, 1996, it's wall to wall, awesome movies.
00:06:18
Speaker
look at 97.
00:06:19
Speaker
It's amazing.
00:06:20
Speaker
95 was a, yeah, I'm like, yeah, that's, it's, it's all a bunch of good movies.
00:06:26
Speaker
We didn't do them all, but bangers.
00:06:28
Speaker
It's banger.
00:06:29
Speaker
But we did some Bye Bye Loves and Bye Bye Loves is great.
00:06:33
Speaker
The worst movie we did all year, I think was Pocahontas, but also it was the one I had the most fun doing because we just realized that we both hated it and just made fun of it.
00:06:41
Speaker
And I had like five people tell me how much they enjoyed that episode.
00:06:44
Speaker
I was like, yeah, sometimes you get surprised by a shitty movie and you just make stupid jokes and you giggle and that's a fun time.
00:06:50
Speaker
It kind of makes me want to do Pocahontas 2, the direct-to-video one when we get to that year, whatever year that is.
00:06:56
Speaker
Hopefully it's the year 3000.
00:06:57
Speaker
I'm not doing it.
00:07:00
Speaker
Give us the synopsis.
00:07:01
Speaker
I don't know how you synopsize this freaking complicated-ass movie.
00:07:06
Speaker
Um...
00:07:08
Speaker
A mob enforcer goes to Hollywood to collect a debt and ends up becoming a movie producer.
00:07:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:13
Speaker
Is what I put.
00:07:13
Speaker
Clean.
00:07:14
Speaker
I like it.
00:07:15
Speaker
$30 million budget, $115 million gross.
00:07:18
Speaker
Ended up the number 15 movie on the year between Bridges of Madison County, which we did not do, and While You Were Sleeping, which was last
Box Office and Critical Reception of 'Get Shorty'
00:07:25
Speaker
episode.
00:07:25
Speaker
Sandra Bullock is a very convincing toll booth operator.
00:07:30
Speaker
The hottest McDonald's person ever.
00:07:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:33
Speaker
They say she's on the fryer later.
00:07:41
Speaker
Atal.
00:07:44
Speaker
Barry Sonnenfeld lost, the director lost a bet to one of the crew members because the crew members said he thought the movie would make more than $68 million and Barry Sonnenfeld was like, there's no way.
00:07:54
Speaker
And so he took the under and he lost.
00:07:57
Speaker
So this movie was a surprise hit.
00:08:01
Speaker
He, but he wins either way in that case, right?
00:08:04
Speaker
That's the way to do it.
00:08:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:04
Speaker
That's like, uh, it's like, uh, Kyle back in the day when he would always bet against LSU or maybe it wasn't Kyle, maybe it was somebody else.
00:08:10
Speaker
He was like, that way, no matter what happens, I win.
00:08:13
Speaker
I'm happy.
00:08:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:13
Speaker
Either LSU wins or I make money.
00:08:16
Speaker
Right.
00:08:17
Speaker
Um,
00:08:18
Speaker
Yeah, not a blockbuster, but it's really hard to find an adult-targeted comedy-crime hybrid.
00:08:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:26
Speaker
Ensemble, movie, and then it spawned a franchise because there was a sequel in a television series.
00:08:32
Speaker
It was based on a book.
00:08:33
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:38
Speaker
That's a lot of money.
00:08:39
Speaker
$115 million.
00:08:40
Speaker
Sure, back then.
00:08:41
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
00:08:41
Speaker
I mean, you know, almost 4X the budget on a pretty small movie.
00:08:47
Speaker
And I can't complain about that.
00:08:48
Speaker
From MGM, classic Lion intro.
00:08:52
Speaker
And I saw frigging Travolta won a Golden Globe for this.
00:08:54
Speaker
That's incredible.
00:08:56
Speaker
Yeah, he got Best Actor for Comedy or Musical.
00:08:59
Speaker
It got nominated for Best Picture.
00:09:02
Speaker
It got nominated for Best Screenplay.
00:09:06
Speaker
And it's one of the better of the Elmore Leonard adaptions.
00:09:09
Speaker
Yeah, and Elmore Leonard, I think, said it's the best movie based off of one of his books.
00:09:14
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:09:14
Speaker
I was going to say he even likes it.
00:09:16
Speaker
Yeah, I also agree with all those nominations.
00:09:18
Speaker
Travolta was incredible.
00:09:20
Speaker
This script was awesome.
00:09:21
Speaker
I'm glad this movie got some love.
00:09:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:24
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:26
Speaker
That dude's from New Orleans.
00:09:27
Speaker
Did you know that?
00:09:28
Speaker
I feel like I did know that because I was like, I think he's got a connection somewhere.
00:09:32
Speaker
Yeah, he's from New Orleans.
00:09:33
Speaker
He knows about gangsters and loan sharks and crime.
Elmore Leonard's Influence and Adaptations
00:09:36
Speaker
Yeah, pretty good.
00:09:37
Speaker
Do you know the, what's his name?
00:09:40
Speaker
Wow.
00:09:41
Speaker
What's his name?
00:09:42
Speaker
Yeah, Owen Wilson.
00:09:43
Speaker
Owen Wilson.
00:09:44
Speaker
The one that he's in with Morgan Freeman and they're all wearing Hawaiian shirts.
00:09:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:49
Speaker
I think he wrote that book too, whatever it's called.
00:09:52
Speaker
I can't, God, Big Bounce, maybe?
00:09:56
Speaker
Big Bounce, Charlie Sheen's in that.
00:09:59
Speaker
Yeah, based on a novel from Elmore Leonard.
00:10:01
Speaker
Good call.
00:10:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:03
Speaker
I think after I saw that and found that, or after I figured that out, I tried to read it.
00:10:09
Speaker
I was going to say, I've read, I think I've read this one.
00:10:12
Speaker
I don't think I've read any of his other stuff.
00:10:13
Speaker
Yeah, that one's also got Lieutenant Dan, Morgan Freeman.
00:10:18
Speaker
Lieutenant Dan.
00:10:18
Speaker
Charlie Sheen, Lieutenant Dan.
00:10:22
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:10:23
Speaker
I saw Lieutenant Dan at the frickin' Grand Ole Opry when James Keller was there, and his band is called Gary Sneas and the Lieutenant Dan's.
00:10:31
Speaker
So if he can tour for 20 years with a band named Lieutenant Dan's, I can for sure call him Lieutenant Dan.
00:10:38
Speaker
You can definitely call him whatever you want.
00:10:39
Speaker
I think if I saw him and I went to hug him wearing his American flag T-shirt and I called him Lieutenant Dan, he wouldn't be upset at all.
00:10:46
Speaker
No, he probably wouldn't.
00:10:48
Speaker
He leans into it.
00:10:49
Speaker
Yeah, as well he should.
00:10:51
Speaker
I don't remember ever having seen, I don't think I've seen even clips of this movie.
Cast Performances and Character Analysis
00:10:58
Speaker
None of it felt like I had ever seen it before at all.
00:11:02
Speaker
None of it was ringing a bell.
00:11:03
Speaker
No.
00:11:06
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know.
00:11:07
Speaker
Dude, I remember having it on DVD because I pulled it out to make sure and it had the one with the double.
00:11:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:15
Speaker
And it was opened.
00:11:16
Speaker
It wasn't in the shrink wrap.
00:11:17
Speaker
Yeah, it was open.
00:11:19
Speaker
I remember watching it.
00:11:20
Speaker
Like, part of it was coming back to me.
00:11:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:24
Speaker
But, I mean, I didn't watch it all the time.
00:11:27
Speaker
This is not one I quote all the time.
00:11:28
Speaker
Dude, Danny DeVito got heavy billing and I felt like he wasn't in the movie that much.
00:11:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:34
Speaker
Yeah, I know.
00:11:35
Speaker
They slice it right in front of you.
00:11:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:36
Speaker
What are you going to do?
00:11:37
Speaker
Dude, he's, I mean.
00:11:38
Speaker
He speaks for the trees.
00:11:39
Speaker
I'm not, I'm never upset about Danny DeVito, but every trailer I looked at, I was like, Danny DeVito.
00:11:43
Speaker
I was like, he was in like two minutes of this movie.
00:11:45
Speaker
He had like five lines.
00:11:47
Speaker
I really liked him.
00:11:48
Speaker
I liked what he did in there, though.
00:11:50
Speaker
Dude, me too.
00:11:50
Speaker
Like when he was trying to get the.
00:11:52
Speaker
That was one of my favorite scenes.
00:11:53
Speaker
When he was trying to get the, and he just keeps going.
00:11:55
Speaker
All right, hang on.
00:11:56
Speaker
Let me try again.
00:11:58
Speaker
Yeah, he's great.
00:11:59
Speaker
I love it.
00:12:00
Speaker
Yeah, how'd you rate this movie?
00:12:02
Speaker
It's,
00:12:03
Speaker
One to ten.
00:12:03
Speaker
No sevens.
00:12:05
Speaker
No sevens.
00:12:06
Speaker
It's the no sevens that got me.
00:12:07
Speaker
This landed in a seven for me.
00:12:09
Speaker
But I really did have fun.
00:12:10
Speaker
It was better than I remember.
00:12:13
Speaker
I like a nice Hollywood satire.
00:12:16
Speaker
Smart, funny, cool, whatever you want to call it.
00:12:19
Speaker
I gave it an eight.
00:12:20
Speaker
Say eight.
00:12:21
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
00:12:23
Speaker
This was an easy eight for me.
00:12:27
Speaker
Because I enjoyed the whole thing and it was like, this is one of the few movies that we've done for the podcast, other than my very favorite movies of all time, like Groundhog Day and League of Their Own and whatever, that I was like, I kind of don't want it to end because I really am having a lot of fun.
00:12:42
Speaker
Usually I'm like, how much do we got left?
00:12:45
Speaker
Even great movies like Braveheart.
00:12:46
Speaker
I'm like, this shit is incredible.
00:12:48
Speaker
Wrap it up because I got to get to bed.
00:12:51
Speaker
But this is one where I was like, dude, I'm having fun.
00:12:54
Speaker
I don't want it to be over.
00:12:56
Speaker
It was an eight all day.
00:12:57
Speaker
If you would like it to continue on in 2005, you could watch Be Cool and it's not.
00:13:02
Speaker
It's not.
00:13:03
Speaker
It's not the same.
00:13:04
Speaker
No, not the same.
00:13:05
Speaker
But yeah, I just thought everyone was like,
00:13:08
Speaker
Dude, it's freaking snap.
00:13:10
Speaker
Like the cast list, John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, fantastic.
00:13:14
Speaker
Delroy Lindo, great.
00:13:16
Speaker
James Gandolfini, balding but with a ponytail, classic.
00:13:19
Speaker
Dennis Farina is my freaking guy.
00:13:23
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:13:23
Speaker
And then, like, kind of cameo from they slice it right in front of you.
00:13:27
Speaker
Like, it was fantastic.
00:13:29
Speaker
But they also had a cameo.
00:13:30
Speaker
What was the chick's
Iconic Scenes and Character Interactions
00:13:32
Speaker
wife?
00:13:32
Speaker
Midler.
00:13:33
Speaker
Bette Midler was in it?
00:13:33
Speaker
Bette Midler was in there.
00:13:35
Speaker
She showed up.
00:13:36
Speaker
Yeah, freaking.
00:13:36
Speaker
Penny Marshall.
00:13:37
Speaker
Harvey Keitel.
00:13:37
Speaker
Harvey Keitel.
00:13:38
Speaker
The inn was playing the thing, and Penny Marshall was the.
00:13:41
Speaker
That's great.
00:13:41
Speaker
A bunch of inside baseball movie stuff, like 90s shots of L.A., where I lived for a couple years.
00:13:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:48
Speaker
Yeah, I was absolutely delighted.
00:13:51
Speaker
Yeah, it really was good.
00:13:54
Speaker
So what's your first scene?
00:13:56
Speaker
I think my first scene is the one that we were talking about where he... So John Travolta is chilly.
00:14:00
Speaker
He's the Lone Shark.
00:14:02
Speaker
He somehow ends up in Los Angeles and decides that he wants to get into the movie business, which it turns out he doesn't think is all that different from Lone Sharking.
00:14:11
Speaker
And he meets Gene Hackman, who's like... Gene Hackman claims he's a big shot Hollywood producer, but really he makes B-movies where people scream a lot and alien monsters attack.
00:14:19
Speaker
Yeah, right.
00:14:22
Speaker
He's sleeping with Rene Russo, who's like the queen of the screen movies, who used to be married to Danny DeVito, who's a huge star.
00:14:30
Speaker
And so, like, they're going to try to get Danny DeVito to do this movie.
00:14:33
Speaker
And John Travolta and Rene Russo go and pitch the movie to Danny DeVito.
00:14:38
Speaker
And that scene, they're in his living room, and John Travolta's just, like, pitching Danny DeVito.
00:14:43
Speaker
And Danny DeVito completely buys in.
00:14:47
Speaker
And it's like...
00:14:49
Speaker
And even though no one knows who this guy Chili Palmer is, and it's his ex-wife that's with him, Danny DeVito immediately decides he very much wants this part, and he's like asking him to do whatever he needs to do.
00:15:03
Speaker
And John Travolta's giving him fricking acting notes, even though he's, this is like third day in LA.
00:15:07
Speaker
Look at me.
00:15:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:08
Speaker
Look at me.
00:15:09
Speaker
With the eyes.
00:15:10
Speaker
Do it with the eyes.
00:15:11
Speaker
I wish I could like accurately capture, but I'm not John Travolta or they slice it right in front of you.
00:15:16
Speaker
So I can't, but that scene was genius.
00:15:20
Speaker
And I loved everything that happened there.
00:15:23
Speaker
Dude, when he is like, he's like, all right, what about now?
00:15:28
Speaker
Do I have now?
00:15:29
Speaker
Like, did I do it that time?
00:15:31
Speaker
He's like, no, I'm not, I'm not buying it.
00:15:32
Speaker
And Rene Russo's like, yeah, I'm not buying it.
00:15:35
Speaker
And he's like, all right, let me, he's like rubbing his face.
00:15:37
Speaker
He's like, I can do it.
00:15:37
Speaker
He's like getting already.
00:15:38
Speaker
He's like, tell me what my motivation is.
00:15:42
Speaker
And he's like, I own him.
00:15:44
Speaker
I own him.
00:15:45
Speaker
He's like, it's with the eyes.
00:15:46
Speaker
It's all with the eyes.
00:15:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:50
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:15:51
Speaker
I, yeah.
00:15:52
Speaker
Slice it right in front of you.
00:15:53
Speaker
It was killing it.
00:15:54
Speaker
Danny DeVito was fantastic.
00:15:56
Speaker
That was one of my scenes also.
00:16:00
Speaker
My actual, my first scene that I had is when Chili walks into Harry Zim, who is Gene Hackman.
00:16:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:10
Speaker
Walks into his office, not into his office, into his house.
00:16:15
Speaker
And he's in, he's like in the house already with the TV on.
00:16:19
Speaker
No, it's Rene Russo's house.
00:16:20
Speaker
It's Rene Russo's house.
00:16:21
Speaker
He breaks into Rene Russo's house, and he's sitting in the living room waiting for Gene Hackman to come turn off the TV now that he has it on.
00:16:29
Speaker
And when he gets down there, he's telling him, look at me, look at me.
00:16:35
Speaker
He's like, what?
00:16:35
Speaker
I'm looking at you, what?
00:16:37
Speaker
And, dude, this whole thing sets the whole tone for the film because you think something bad's happening and they've panned to Renee Russo upstairs.
00:16:46
Speaker
And when she comes downstairs, they're sitting at the freaking kitchen table just hashing out.
00:16:51
Speaker
And then what happens?
00:16:52
Speaker
They're drinking whiskey and he's telling them his movie idea.
00:16:54
Speaker
And, like, Gene Hackman's in his freaking boxer shorts.
00:16:58
Speaker
Dude, I love the...
00:17:05
Speaker
Travolta plays a very good, laid-back, menacing-looking person.
00:17:13
Speaker
And I think, because, I don't know, I think he did a really good job.
00:17:18
Speaker
And he was killing it in that part.
00:17:20
Speaker
Dude, he was awesome.
00:17:21
Speaker
He was awesome in this.
00:17:22
Speaker
And I read, like, Gene Hackman is great.
00:17:24
Speaker
Everyone always loves Gene Hackman, me and you, especially.
00:17:27
Speaker
But, like, I read that he didn't want to do it because he doesn't do comedy.
00:17:31
Speaker
And then, like, and they told him, like, that's perfect because you don't – this character isn't trying to be funny.
00:17:37
Speaker
You play it totally straight.
00:17:39
Speaker
You play it straight.
00:17:40
Speaker
And then, like, that makes it funny.
00:17:42
Speaker
I was like, God.
00:17:43
Speaker
I think he is funny.
00:17:43
Speaker
I think he's hilarious, dude.
00:17:45
Speaker
He was so good.
00:17:46
Speaker
Yeah, I don't –
00:17:47
Speaker
But I can see, I mean, I do think that's important sometimes when you're playing comedy.
00:17:50
Speaker
Like, Jim Carrey's not playing it straight.
00:17:52
Speaker
That's not his thing.
00:17:52
Speaker
But, like, sometimes the real funny part is the guy who just stands there normally while wild shit happens and reacts completely normally to it.
00:18:00
Speaker
That's so good.
00:18:01
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:02
Speaker
I don't see Gene Hackman bending over and talking with his butt cheeks.
00:18:05
Speaker
No, that's probably not.
00:18:06
Speaker
I've got to ask you a few questions.
00:18:09
Speaker
Yeah, he's not going to birth himself through a rhinoceros.
00:18:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:14
Speaker
That's in 95.
00:18:14
Speaker
That's in 95.
00:18:15
Speaker
We didn't get to do When Nature Calls.
00:18:18
Speaker
We didn't make it there.
00:18:19
Speaker
That's okay.
00:18:19
Speaker
That's a great scene, dude.
00:18:20
Speaker
I had that on my extended list.
00:18:22
Speaker
My second one was I really wanted to get one with Dennis Farina because he was freaking great.
Supporting Characters and Comedic Elements
00:18:30
Speaker
And I think it was when, maybe early on when Dennis Farina goes to confront, when they're still in Miami, he goes to confront him in the restaurant, right at the beginning of the movie.
00:18:40
Speaker
Because right then I was in.
00:18:41
Speaker
I was like, I like all these people.
00:18:43
Speaker
All of them, yeah.
00:18:45
Speaker
He got up in Chili's face, and then Chili just freaking rolls out.
00:18:52
Speaker
Just when they got into it at the restaurant.
00:18:53
Speaker
And I think, was that when he stole his jacket?
00:18:56
Speaker
Was that the very beginning?
00:18:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:58
Speaker
Yeah, he stole his coat from the coat room.
00:19:01
Speaker
And then he walks right in and punches him square.
00:19:03
Speaker
Right, but I also love that at the end of that kind of same scene that Travolta gets into it with the restaurant people.
00:19:09
Speaker
He's like, that's my leather coat.
00:19:11
Speaker
He's like, it's cold outside.
00:19:13
Speaker
And the maitre d'Is trying to, well, Mr. Bones took that, so really I'm sure it was a mistake.
00:19:18
Speaker
And he's like, and dude, Travolta was just getting in their face.
00:19:21
Speaker
I was like, God, this is great.
00:19:22
Speaker
Somebody needs to give me $329.
00:19:23
Speaker
That's what they need.
00:19:25
Speaker
And then he goes over to his office and pops him right in the face.
00:19:29
Speaker
The fact that they're both tough guys and neither of them are afraid of the other and they just keep stabbing, shooting, and punching each other was great.
00:19:36
Speaker
Dude, I love how Dennis Farino's completely incompetent compared to Travolta's character.
00:19:43
Speaker
I just freaking love it.
00:19:44
Speaker
Plus, every time he talks, I hear the movie Snatch.
00:19:49
Speaker
Like here as Abby and snatch, like I love Dennis Farina and the way he, he plays it and he killed it as bones.
00:19:57
Speaker
He killed it.
00:19:58
Speaker
Dennis free.
00:19:59
Speaker
Dennis Farina is great.
00:20:00
Speaker
And like two things for me about him that are iconic.
00:20:04
Speaker
One is he has an incredible mustache and I never saw him without it.
00:20:08
Speaker
Never, not once.
00:20:09
Speaker
And number two, he's one of the best deliverers of the F word in my lifetime and movies.
00:20:14
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:15
Speaker
Like Samuel L. Jackson gets a lot of credit for that, as well he should.
00:20:19
Speaker
But Dennis Farina is great, too.
00:20:23
Speaker
Just his whole demeanor and the way he does it, I like all the stuff.
00:20:31
Speaker
I've seen a bunch of movies.
00:20:33
Speaker
What's the one where Eddie Murphy owns?
00:20:35
Speaker
Not Eddie Murphy.
00:20:36
Speaker
Eddie is the name of it.
00:20:37
Speaker
Whoopi Goldberg.
00:20:38
Speaker
Whoopi Goldberg owns the Knicks, and he's in that.
00:20:43
Speaker
Dude, I used to freaking love that movie, and I was like, who's this guy?
00:20:46
Speaker
I like this guy.
00:20:47
Speaker
He's in Saving Private Ryan and freaking Striking Distance, classic.
00:20:51
Speaker
Striking distance.
00:20:52
Speaker
I remember that.
00:20:53
Speaker
Is that where they killed all the James?
00:20:55
Speaker
That was when we did it on the podcast.
00:20:58
Speaker
Oh, right on.
00:20:58
Speaker
Bruce Willis is in this.
00:20:59
Speaker
Dude, he's in Stealing Harvard.
00:21:00
Speaker
Remember that movie?
00:21:01
Speaker
I used to like that movie.
00:21:02
Speaker
Jason Lee.
00:21:03
Speaker
Ooh, yeah.
00:21:04
Speaker
I remember that.
00:21:05
Speaker
Yeah, and they did like 20 seasons of NYPD whatever.
00:21:09
Speaker
And like shit before our time, like Midnight Run and stuff, which is iconic, but like slightly before our era.
00:21:15
Speaker
Yeah, that's before me.
00:21:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:19
Speaker
Yeah, it's a good scene.
00:21:20
Speaker
My next scene is...
00:21:25
Speaker
The very end, like the final scene, you get to see the fictionalized version of a movie being made of the events of the actual movie that we just watched.
00:21:36
Speaker
It's all like there's what's her name is.
00:21:40
Speaker
Penny Marshall is the director and Harvey Keitel is playing the Chili Palmer role.
00:21:47
Speaker
He's playing.
00:21:47
Speaker
He's playing.
00:21:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:48
Speaker
Dennis Farina.
00:21:49
Speaker
Danny DeVito's in it.
00:21:51
Speaker
And then freaking Travolta and Rene Russo are sitting with Danny DeVito's agent talking about another project they want to do, and they're like, he can't do it.
00:21:59
Speaker
He's too short.
00:22:02
Speaker
I just, I love how it all came together at the end.
00:22:08
Speaker
And then that scene, that scene and also the movie ends with this fricking incredible like crane shot that pulls back and the whole movie lot is full of fucking Oldsmobile minivans.
00:22:20
Speaker
Everyone's driving them now and they all pull away.
00:22:23
Speaker
I like to sit up high.
00:22:25
Speaker
I like to be able to see all the things.
00:22:27
Speaker
Which is such a great recurring bit because Travolta gets to LA and he gets to the rental car counter and he's like, what the fuck is this?
00:22:34
Speaker
He's like, I asked for a Cadillac.
00:22:35
Speaker
And the rental car clerk's like, well, this is the Cadillac of minivans.
00:22:38
Speaker
And he's like, all right.
00:22:41
Speaker
The Cadillac of minivans.
00:22:42
Speaker
But then through his confidence, he convinces everyone else that it's the jam.
00:22:47
Speaker
And Danny DeVito's like, can I take it for a ride?
00:22:49
Speaker
He's like, yeah.
00:22:49
Speaker
And then the next time we see Danny DeVito, his character's driving one.
00:22:53
Speaker
It's freaking great.
00:22:56
Speaker
Yeah, when those pull off and you could see like Chili Palmer parking under the thing.
00:23:01
Speaker
Yeah, that's great.
00:23:02
Speaker
Yeah, that's a great scene.
00:23:04
Speaker
It's a great ending.
00:23:05
Speaker
My third one is kind of in a similar vein.
00:23:08
Speaker
It's where they, Travolta, Rene Russo, go to meet Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito to pitch him.
00:23:16
Speaker
Danny DeVito in the movie is like one of the biggest movie stars.
00:23:19
Speaker
And Gene Hackman has just gotten the shit kicked out of him, and he's, like, in a full-body cast, and he insists on going to the meeting with his jaws wired shut, because he's like, there's more project.
00:23:31
Speaker
And DeVito rolls up in a frickin' Oldsmobile minivan, because he just drove Chili Palmers, and now he's got to have one.
00:23:37
Speaker
And Rene Russo's, like, just, like... She's doing the whole thing, where she's like, listen, like, just...
00:23:42
Speaker
if there was some question about the menu Danny DeVito's on there and it's like and Rene Russo's like don't worry about the menu movie stars never order off the menu like just forget about it yeah it'll be completely off and dude and Danny DeVito like rolls in late he's like just giving Rene Russo's like giving her a kiss and smelling her like shaking Chili's hand telling Gene Hackman he looks terrible and then
00:24:03
Speaker
Every time he touches Gene Hackman, Gene Hackman's like, oh.
00:24:07
Speaker
And he snaps at the waitress.
00:24:08
Speaker
He's like, yeah, can we get a strawberry crepe?
00:24:10
Speaker
And it's some of those blended drinks that have the fruit.
00:24:14
Speaker
For everyone.
00:24:15
Speaker
He just does the- Ted doesn't wait for it in freaking cheese.
00:24:18
Speaker
And then before the food even arrives, he's like, all right, I got to go.
00:24:20
Speaker
I'll see you guys later.
00:24:22
Speaker
He did the freaking 30 Rockhead, like a catfish po' boy in a Diet Fanta.
00:24:26
Speaker
No.
00:24:30
Speaker
Oh, dude, that was a great scene because he just freaking cheeses it.
00:24:33
Speaker
And then he just reverses everything, gives her a kiss, shakes his hand, taps Gene Hackman on the back and walks out.
00:24:39
Speaker
And then as he leaves, the waitress brings up his freaking off-menu random order of whatever the hell it was.
00:24:44
Speaker
It's like that shit cracked me up.
00:24:48
Speaker
I loved every moment of it.
00:24:50
Speaker
Yeah, that was a freaking fantastic scene.
00:24:53
Speaker
I should have picked that one.
00:24:54
Speaker
I like that one now that you say that.
00:24:57
Speaker
Dude, I did have an extra honorable mention.
00:24:59
Speaker
When he finally, when John Travolta shows that he actually can
Chemistry and Quotes from Key Scenes
00:25:07
Speaker
fight, and he walks up to Bear, what's his name?
00:25:11
Speaker
James Gandolfini.
00:25:12
Speaker
Tony Soprano.
00:25:13
Speaker
Yeah, and grabs him by the junk and throws him down the stairs.
00:25:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:17
Speaker
Fantastic.
00:25:18
Speaker
Fantastic.
00:25:19
Speaker
I love that scene.
00:25:20
Speaker
I also loved that John Travolta, Chili Palmer, is such a movie fan in the movie.
00:25:26
Speaker
He throws Bear down the stairs, and as he's falling, he's like, ooh, that's a good fall.
00:25:31
Speaker
Because Delroy Lindo had told him he was a stuntman.
00:25:34
Speaker
He's like, ooh, he's good.
00:25:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:36
Speaker
Because then the next time he sees James Gandolfini in the airport parking lot, he's supposed to beat his ass.
00:25:41
Speaker
He starts talking.
00:25:42
Speaker
He's like, what kind of stuff have you been working on?
00:25:43
Speaker
He's like, tell me some stuff.
00:25:44
Speaker
What would I have seen you in?
00:25:44
Speaker
He just starts to go through his credits.
00:25:47
Speaker
He's sitting next to a minivan, just leaning on it.
00:25:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:51
Speaker
That was great.
00:25:51
Speaker
Delroy Lindo's awesome, too.
00:25:53
Speaker
Delroy Lindo is fantastic.
00:25:54
Speaker
I like that guy.
00:25:54
Speaker
He's great.
00:25:56
Speaker
I like that guy.
00:25:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:57
Speaker
I need to get into some more of that.
00:26:01
Speaker
He's still around, right?
00:26:02
Speaker
He's not dead.
00:26:03
Speaker
Let's see.
00:26:06
Speaker
He's 73.
00:26:07
Speaker
Good Lord.
00:26:11
Speaker
Dude, he's from London.
00:26:13
Speaker
I never, never knew that.
00:26:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:18
Speaker
Oh, dude, he was in Sinners.
00:26:19
Speaker
How did I not catch that?
00:26:22
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:23
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:26:24
Speaker
Like, I like him.
00:26:25
Speaker
I need to get into some more of him.
00:26:27
Speaker
I don't know.
00:26:29
Speaker
They're talking about him winning awards for being slim in Sinners.
00:26:33
Speaker
Nice.
00:26:35
Speaker
Oh, dude, we'll see Delroy Lindo next year because we're definitely going to do Broken Arrow.
00:26:42
Speaker
That's another one where Travolta just plays like a, just a smooth, like, dude, I don't know.
00:26:48
Speaker
He's also in Ransom in 96, which I feel like we're probably going to do.
00:26:52
Speaker
Ransom is Mel Gibson?
00:26:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:55
Speaker
We're definitely doing that.
00:26:57
Speaker
I love that movie.
00:26:58
Speaker
I'm saying.
00:26:58
Speaker
And also he's in Feeling Minnesota in 96, which is that rom-com with Cameron Dio and Keanu Reeves.
00:27:06
Speaker
Yeah, Keanu Reeves.
00:27:07
Speaker
Yeah, I remember that.
00:27:08
Speaker
Delroy Lindo's busy in 96, but I mainly think of him from Gone in 60 Seconds because I've seen that movie a million times and he was the detective.
00:27:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:17
Speaker
When is that?
00:27:17
Speaker
2000.
00:27:17
Speaker
That's not until 2000.
00:27:19
Speaker
We got a minute.
00:27:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:21
Speaker
Yeah, we might make it there.
00:27:24
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
00:27:24
Speaker
He's big.
00:27:26
Speaker
He's freaking awesome.
00:27:27
Speaker
Let's do quotes.
00:27:28
Speaker
What's your first quote?
00:27:31
Speaker
Rough business, this movie business.
00:27:33
Speaker
I'm going to have to go back to Lone Shark and have a rest.
00:27:37
Speaker
I like how he's trying to do both.
00:27:41
Speaker
I like how he thinks it's going to be easy to just switch over because it's the same.
00:27:47
Speaker
And how he is always joking.
00:27:48
Speaker
He's like, I'm going to go back to doing the hard thing that everybody thinks is hard just so I can get a rest.
00:27:53
Speaker
I love that.
00:27:54
Speaker
So I threw that one as my first one.
00:27:56
Speaker
Yeah, dude, I don't know how much... I can't remember how much this was in the original book.
00:27:59
Speaker
Because it's been a long time since I read it, but I feel like Elmore Leonard is like, writes stuff like this.
00:28:04
Speaker
But the, I mean, I thought the iconic one was the Chili Palmer, look at me.
00:28:08
Speaker
Because he says it like every five minutes throughout the movie.
00:28:11
Speaker
He's like, look at me.
00:28:12
Speaker
But it just, it becomes, like the way that Travolta does it, it kind of becomes everything you need to know about the guy.
00:28:17
Speaker
Like just the kind of like quiet confidence.
00:28:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:20
Speaker
And apparently that is something that Quentin Tarantino said to John Travolta on Pulp Fiction set.
00:28:31
Speaker
And he was saying, look at me.
00:28:32
Speaker
So John Travolta threw that out there and said, like, I'm going to say it like this.
00:28:37
Speaker
Is that all right?
00:28:38
Speaker
And he changed it up to say it.
00:28:41
Speaker
It was something like, I want you to make eye contact or something.
00:28:44
Speaker
And he said, look at me, look at me.
00:28:45
Speaker
And that's how he kept saying it.
00:28:47
Speaker
And apparently that's how, you know, that's how Tarantino said it to him.
00:28:53
Speaker
So that's why he did it.
00:28:54
Speaker
Man.
00:28:54
Speaker
God, this is good.
00:28:56
Speaker
I was trying to figure out because I know Pulp Fiction happened before this and it's got kind of similar, a little bit similar kind of elements.
00:29:03
Speaker
I mean, Travolta, obviously, but also just the like, like the mafia stuff and the like violence.
00:29:07
Speaker
This is way funnier and that's way better.
00:29:10
Speaker
But yeah.
00:29:12
Speaker
But God, dude, I love stuff like that.
00:29:16
Speaker
The yeah.
00:29:18
Speaker
Depending on what you're looking for, better might, might not be the thing.
00:29:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:22
Speaker
Like, I could probably watch this with Jake.
00:29:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:24
Speaker
I don't know that I could watch Pulp Fiction with Jake.
00:29:26
Speaker
Pulp Fiction is a better movie.
00:29:28
Speaker
It's more important that Jake know about Pulp Fiction if you're just only going to do a few from 95.
00:29:32
Speaker
But this is really fun.
00:29:33
Speaker
Like, I totally agree.
00:29:35
Speaker
If he's 12, you probably could watch this.
00:29:36
Speaker
Only a few from 95.
00:29:37
Speaker
Why would I do such a thing?
00:29:38
Speaker
I can't imagine.
00:29:39
Speaker
You probably don't need to do all 25.
00:29:41
Speaker
You probably could skip Pocahontas.
00:29:44
Speaker
We'll hit two later on.
00:29:46
Speaker
Catch that.
00:29:48
Speaker
My next quote was from Gene Hackman.
00:29:52
Speaker
It's not lying.
00:29:53
Speaker
It's being flexible about the truth.
00:29:56
Speaker
It's just this like sleazy freaking like scary movie producer guy.
00:30:01
Speaker
And God, dude, he's so slimy.
00:30:03
Speaker
He's so good.
00:30:04
Speaker
His voice too, though.
00:30:05
Speaker
I can hear his voice and pick it out right away.
00:30:09
Speaker
There's a lot of people I can do that with, but his for sure.
00:30:12
Speaker
And slice it right in front of you.
00:30:14
Speaker
If either of those guys want to read any of the books that I'm reading, I would gladly listen to them read an audiobook.
00:30:20
Speaker
Like I love both of those.
00:30:22
Speaker
Do you think it's like an uncommon skill to be able to pick out someone's voice?
00:30:26
Speaker
Because every time we see an animated movie, my wife's always like, who's that?
00:30:30
Speaker
I'm like, that's Owen Wilson.
00:30:31
Speaker
She's like, who's that?
00:30:32
Speaker
I'm like, that's Amy Poehler.
00:30:33
Speaker
She's like, who's that?
00:30:33
Speaker
I'm like, that's – she never knows who anyone is.
00:30:37
Speaker
And I'm like, I don't think I have like a special talent for that.
00:30:41
Speaker
See, I didn't think I did either, but every once in a while, it'll be a voiceover for a Honda commercial, and I'm like, who is that?
00:30:48
Speaker
And Jake's like, I don't know.
00:30:49
Speaker
I can hear it.
00:30:50
Speaker
I'm like, it's John Cena.
00:30:53
Speaker
It is.
00:30:53
Speaker
I was like, yeah.
00:30:54
Speaker
He's like, how'd you get that?
00:30:55
Speaker
I was like, I don't know.
00:30:57
Speaker
You could tell his voice.
00:30:58
Speaker
He's like, that's weird.
00:31:00
Speaker
So, yeah, I, is that, that's gotta be, it's not just us.
00:31:05
Speaker
No.
00:31:05
Speaker
We don't have that superpower.
00:31:06
Speaker
No, no, I'm sure there's probably anyone who's nerdy enough to listen to this podcast is like, everyone can do that.
00:31:11
Speaker
But then you talk to normal people and they're like, I don't, can't, I can't, wow.
00:31:16
Speaker
My problem is I'm so old that I can't remember the people's names.
00:31:20
Speaker
So I'm always like, you know, that one guy who's in the thing with the stuff.
00:31:23
Speaker
Marge knew who I'm talking about.
00:31:25
Speaker
He drove that blue car.
00:31:27
Speaker
That's my problem.
00:31:28
Speaker
Yeah, sometimes that happens too.
00:31:29
Speaker
But especially the more that I watch animated movies now that my kid is older, I'm starting to go like – like he watches this Amazon show where it's like about a trash truck and an excavator.
00:31:38
Speaker
And they have all these different truck friends.
00:31:40
Speaker
And all the truck friends are voiced by like – like the fire truck comes up.
00:31:43
Speaker
And I was like, that's Whoopi Goldberg.
00:31:45
Speaker
And then the crane truck comes up.
00:31:46
Speaker
I was like, dude, that's, I'm like, that's Rex from Toy Story.
00:31:49
Speaker
That's Wallace Shawn.
00:31:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:52
Speaker
And like, my wife's like looking at me like I'm autistic.
00:31:55
Speaker
I'm like, that's just, these are very recognizable voices.
00:31:59
Speaker
Those two people have very recognizable voices as far as I'm concerned.
00:32:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:03
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:32:04
Speaker
But dude, God, Gene Hackman's so, and every time we talk about Gene Hackman, I just go back and look at his
00:32:10
Speaker
Like, dude, he won an Oscar in like 1971, but he
Gene Hackman's Career Retrospective
00:32:14
Speaker
was still doing amazing movies like 40 years later.
00:32:16
Speaker
Like, you look at his filmography and you're like, this doesn't seem possible.
00:32:20
Speaker
Like, Poseidon Adventure, Hoosiers, The Firm, Wyatt Earp, Crimson Tide, Quick and the Dead, Get Shorty.
00:32:26
Speaker
Like, Ants, Enemy of the State, Royal Tenenbaums,
00:32:31
Speaker
Enemy of the State was fantastic.
00:32:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:35
Speaker
He's great for 50 years.
00:32:37
Speaker
Like Academy Award nominated in the 70s.
00:32:40
Speaker
And I think he was nominated 70s, 80s and 90s.
00:32:45
Speaker
And like won, I think twice, like I think 30 years apart, something like that.
00:32:50
Speaker
That's awesome.
00:32:51
Speaker
Because he won for 92 in Unforgiven, and he was nominated in 67, nominated in 70, won in 71, nominated in... He was nominated in like four decades and won twice, like 25 years apart.
00:33:06
Speaker
Killing it.
00:33:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:08
Speaker
That's ridiculous.
00:33:09
Speaker
He's great.
00:33:09
Speaker
I'm so glad he did this.
00:33:11
Speaker
He's got that cold-ass goatee, and he's a perfect slimy B-movie producer.
00:33:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:16
Speaker
What's your next quote?
00:33:17
Speaker
In his robe, T-shirt, and boxers for a bunch of it.
00:33:24
Speaker
The next one I have is when he, Chili, is explaining his, quote, real job to Rene Russo.
00:33:33
Speaker
And it's just deadpan.
00:33:34
Speaker
And he's like, I'm not a gangster.
00:33:35
Speaker
I'm a loan shark.
00:33:38
Speaker
I like that there's a little crowbar separation, a little caveat there.
00:33:43
Speaker
Keep it separate.
00:33:43
Speaker
It's not the same.
00:33:45
Speaker
I like that.
00:33:48
Speaker
So my second one's from Chili Elso.
00:33:51
Speaker
That's a good one.
00:33:52
Speaker
My third one, I definitely wanted to do Dennis Farina, Ray Bones, and I was just trying to look through his list of quotes because I had a bunch of them.
00:33:58
Speaker
I can't, I couldn't, I loved when he just beat the crap out of Gene Hackman and put him in the hospital.
00:34:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:07
Speaker
Because that one, he was like, I'm going to break your fucking legs, Harry.
00:34:09
Speaker
I was like, that was a great one.
00:34:12
Speaker
But then the other one is, I think is like an iconic Dennis Farina quote.
00:34:15
Speaker
Like everyone who knows Dennis Farina could picture him saying this.
00:34:19
Speaker
Don't you point your fucking finger at me.
00:34:21
Speaker
Like I could just, I could always see and hear him saying that.
00:34:26
Speaker
See, to me, I picture him just being exasperated with the whole situation constantly.
00:34:32
Speaker
And he gets in the cab and he sits down and he just goes, the fucking airport.
00:34:39
Speaker
But dude, not only that, before he gets in the cab, he walks up to the cab and he's standing like at the front mirror and he fucking starts snapping at the cab to make the guy pull up four feet so he doesn't have to shift over to get into the back.
00:34:51
Speaker
Stuff like that is so perfect.
00:34:53
Speaker
Oh, that was so awesome.
00:34:55
Speaker
And then he goes, the fucking airport.
00:34:58
Speaker
Dude, he's got a little bit of Pete Ginobili, not the violence, but just the angry and exasperated all the time that I always think is funny.
00:35:08
Speaker
I love the angry old Italian guy.
00:35:11
Speaker
He's just had enough.
00:35:15
Speaker
I also like when he goes and shows up and talks to...
00:35:20
Speaker
Who's the lady whose husband took the money and went to Los Angeles?
00:35:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:35:28
Speaker
Leo's wife.
00:35:29
Speaker
Leo.
00:35:30
Speaker
What was her name?
00:35:31
Speaker
Faye.
00:35:32
Speaker
Faye?
00:35:32
Speaker
And just freaking smacks her in the face.
00:35:36
Speaker
Have you talked... No, he's like, have you talked to Mr. Palmer since your husband blew up or something like that?
00:35:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:43
Speaker
His Dennis Farina style is fantastic.
00:35:47
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
00:35:48
Speaker
He's the best.
00:35:49
Speaker
If you guys don't know who he is, look him up.
00:35:52
Speaker
Just... That's fantastic.
00:35:53
Speaker
He's the perfect kind of person that before we started doing this podcast, I wouldn't have known his name, but I would have been like, yeah, dude, that guy, obviously...
00:36:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:01
Speaker
Dude, what about when he's reading the magazine on the toilet and the phone starts ringing?
00:36:08
Speaker
And he just says the F word like 23 times in a row as he's pulling his pants up to answer the phone.
00:36:15
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:36:16
Speaker
And it ends up being Gene Hackman trying to act cool and trying to talk noise.
00:36:21
Speaker
Just regurgitating Chili Palmer lines to try to be hard.
00:36:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:25
Speaker
Also, shout out old tech magazines on the toilet because now we have technology.
00:36:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:31
Speaker
Magazines on the toilet.
00:36:32
Speaker
It's old school.
00:36:33
Speaker
We were never magazines in the toilet.
00:36:35
Speaker
We were all... In the toilet.
00:36:37
Speaker
Near the toilet.
00:36:38
Speaker
We were always just, you know, read whatever you got there.
00:36:42
Speaker
Shampoo bottles.
00:36:44
Speaker
I know all there is to know about toxic shock syndrome because...
00:36:48
Speaker
I can read about the little unfoldable piece of paper that's in the tampon box.
00:36:52
Speaker
I like how sometimes you would go to somebody's house back in the day and they'd have like a crossword puzzle book on the back of the toilet.
00:36:57
Speaker
You're like, dude, I think you've got a problem.
00:36:59
Speaker
Crossword puzzles, take a minute.
00:37:02
Speaker
What I do is I take and turn around so I can use the back of the toilet as a desk.
00:37:08
Speaker
Now, some of you are thinking, does he have to take his pants all the way off?
00:37:12
Speaker
Use it as a writing service.
00:37:13
Speaker
Yeah, dude, I remember when I was younger, when I was a kid, I would have those little Garfield books with Garfield cartoons.
00:37:18
Speaker
Those are great toilet books because it took no time to read them.
00:37:22
Speaker
Right.
00:37:22
Speaker
It didn't matter if they got pee on them.
00:37:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:26
Speaker
I like those because they were like the size of a half a piece of paper.
00:37:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:29
Speaker
Like when you opened them.
00:37:30
Speaker
Yeah, those.
00:37:31
Speaker
And they were numbered.
00:37:32
Speaker
It was great.
00:37:32
Speaker
I like that.
00:37:33
Speaker
Because I could keep them numbered on my shelf.
00:37:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:35
Speaker
And I picked one of those up not too long ago and tried to read them.
00:37:38
Speaker
I was like, why did I think this was funny when I was a kid?
00:37:40
Speaker
I must have been an idiot.
00:37:41
Speaker
You know what still is, though?
00:37:42
Speaker
And I showed, I was showing it to Cece, is the Farside and Calvin Hobbes.
00:37:47
Speaker
Farside is still hilarious.
00:37:48
Speaker
Calvin Hobbes is great.
00:37:49
Speaker
Both of those, both of those are still good.
00:37:52
Speaker
Still good.
00:37:52
Speaker
Characters.
00:37:55
Speaker
Characters.
00:37:56
Speaker
Yeah, characters.
00:37:58
Speaker
Dude, I put Chili Palmer.
00:37:59
Speaker
I thought John Travolta killed it.
00:38:00
Speaker
He was great, dude.
00:38:01
Speaker
That's one of my favorite John Travolta performances I maybe have ever seen, and I like John Travolta.
00:38:06
Speaker
That's because we haven't watched, we haven't broken Arrow yet, so that's why.
00:38:09
Speaker
Dude, we're going to do, 96 is a big year for Travolta because I think he also does Phenomenon, and we're doing both of those.
00:38:15
Speaker
Ooh.
00:38:17
Speaker
Nice.
00:38:18
Speaker
I used to love that movie.
00:38:20
Speaker
Dude, I mean, we're in the Travolta Renaissance.
00:38:24
Speaker
94 Pulp Fiction, 95 Get Shorty, 96 Broken Arrow, Michael, and 97 Face Off.
00:38:30
Speaker
Michael.
00:38:31
Speaker
Michael is the, he's got the angel wings.
00:38:35
Speaker
That's the angel wings.
00:38:35
Speaker
I don't care about that one.
00:38:37
Speaker
I've never seen that.
00:38:39
Speaker
Dude, Broken Arrow, Phenomenon, and Michael all come out in 96.
00:38:42
Speaker
Two of those we'll do.
00:38:43
Speaker
One of them I feel sure we're not going to.
00:38:45
Speaker
I can't believe we're as excited as we are for Broken Arrow because I am 99% sure that they can't even sell that for $5 in the $5 bin.
00:38:55
Speaker
Well, it's –
00:39:01
Speaker
It's part of the like group of action movies that are so fucking ridiculous.
00:39:06
Speaker
Like Con Air.
00:39:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's John Woo.
00:39:08
Speaker
Isn't it John Woo?
00:39:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:10
Speaker
I think John Woo does Broken Arrow.
00:39:12
Speaker
Yeah, I think he does.
00:39:13
Speaker
And I think Con Air is Michael Bay.
00:39:16
Speaker
Michael Bay, yeah.
00:39:18
Speaker
But like, so we have like The Rock, Con Air, Broken Arrow.
00:39:22
Speaker
They're completely, like Face Off.
00:39:24
Speaker
Those are ridiculous movies that are so fun.
00:39:28
Speaker
Like I can't, I cannot wait.
00:39:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:32
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:39:33
Speaker
I just pulled up his thing.
00:39:34
Speaker
He has a bunch of movies in a row.
00:39:37
Speaker
He does have one in 1998 called The Junket Whore.
00:39:40
Speaker
And do you know how I would like to say that instead?
00:39:43
Speaker
We're going to go to the honk it?
00:39:44
Speaker
Why can't we not go to the honk it?
00:39:47
Speaker
It's sometimes too big.
00:39:49
Speaker
You've had complaints.
00:39:50
Speaker
I have complaints.
00:39:52
Speaker
Dude, he also plays in The Punisher, the one with Thomas Jane.
00:39:56
Speaker
He kills it in that.
00:39:57
Speaker
Yeah, dude, this is a great Travolta performance.
00:40:00
Speaker
It's fantastic.
00:40:01
Speaker
He's just getting back on top of things after Pulp Fiction, and he is perfect, perfect in this role.
00:40:11
Speaker
I think he dressed fantastic in this.
00:40:15
Speaker
I thought it was cool the way he dressed.
00:40:16
Speaker
I don't know if that was on purpose.
00:40:19
Speaker
I mean, I know it was on purpose.
00:40:20
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:40:20
Speaker
Yes, definitely.
00:40:23
Speaker
I liked it.
00:40:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:25
Speaker
I mean, I think, dude, the costuming in this movie, all of it was great.
00:40:27
Speaker
Delroy Lindo was freaking wearing these cold-ass silk shirts buttoned all the way up.
00:40:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:34
Speaker
Dude, I... Everybody except Gene Hackman, who was dressed like a total douche.
00:40:38
Speaker
Everyone else was dressed great.
00:40:43
Speaker
Who's the guy that was with Delroy Lindo?
00:40:48
Speaker
Golly.
00:40:50
Speaker
He played in... What's the movie where Val Kilmer's a genius?
00:40:55
Speaker
Real genius.
00:40:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:57
Speaker
And I think he's the guy the whole time.
00:41:00
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:41:00
Speaker
I know who you're talking about.
00:41:01
Speaker
I think he's the guy that's in the closet in that movie.
00:41:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:06
Speaker
Oh, wait.
00:41:06
Speaker
I'm pretty sure.
00:41:07
Speaker
Hang on.
00:41:08
Speaker
Laszlo is the name of the character.
00:41:10
Speaker
Hold on.
00:41:11
Speaker
I'm looking it up.
00:41:14
Speaker
John Grease is his name.
00:41:16
Speaker
Laszlo Hollifeld.
00:41:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:17
Speaker
Holy crap, that's it.
00:41:19
Speaker
Dude, he was so good as Ronnie.
00:41:23
Speaker
He just gets shot in the chest.
00:41:25
Speaker
But he did, dude, he was awesome.
00:41:27
Speaker
Well, I mean, Travolta was a no-brainer for me, but after this, there's a lot of really great performances for only two slots, and I was having a lot of trouble.
Renee Russo's Role and Filmography
00:41:36
Speaker
Who's your next top character?
00:41:38
Speaker
Dude, my next one is Dennis Farina.
00:41:40
Speaker
If I don't put freaking Ray Bones in there, I was going to be super upset about it.
00:41:43
Speaker
I know, dude.
00:41:45
Speaker
I can't.
00:41:46
Speaker
I could not do it.
00:41:47
Speaker
Like, I just...
00:41:49
Speaker
He's so freaking funny.
00:41:52
Speaker
Like I, the whole time, again, the one where he is trying to read the magazine on the toilet.
00:42:01
Speaker
Oh God.
00:42:02
Speaker
And he just, oh man, dude, I loved it.
00:42:05
Speaker
I thought he was great, and I couldn't not put him in.
00:42:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:10
Speaker
Dude, seriously, when he answers the phone and Gene Hackman's like, Ray Boboni?
00:42:15
Speaker
He's like, yeah, who is this?
00:42:16
Speaker
Like, he's still butting in his pants.
00:42:19
Speaker
Dude, I love it.
00:42:21
Speaker
He's fantastic.
00:42:22
Speaker
Yeah, dude, you're right.
00:42:23
Speaker
That's the right answer.
00:42:24
Speaker
He's freaking brilliant at this.
00:42:26
Speaker
He's perfect for it.
00:42:27
Speaker
He's hilarious.
00:42:28
Speaker
He's got great clothes, too.
00:42:31
Speaker
And he says the F word better than anybody that isn't Samuel L. Jackson.
00:42:36
Speaker
23 times in a row while he's standing up off the toilet.
00:42:40
Speaker
Yeah, and this is, I think, iconic.
00:42:42
Speaker
I mean, it's maybe not as high-profile a movie as some of the ones he's done, but this is an iconic performance.
00:42:47
Speaker
If you're in the Dennis Farina fan club, you would probably have a lot of conversations about how great this was.
00:42:53
Speaker
Yeah, Ray Bones is definitely a big character for him.
00:42:56
Speaker
All right.
00:42:57
Speaker
Well, I got to do Renee Russo third because she was awesome, and we haven't talked about her at all.
00:43:02
Speaker
But the whole movie, I was just like, dude, Renee Russo is so good.
00:43:06
Speaker
She is a really good actress and is super cute in this.
00:43:11
Speaker
You know how old she is now?
00:43:12
Speaker
I don't know.
00:43:14
Speaker
71.
00:43:14
Speaker
What?
00:43:15
Speaker
We are so old.
00:43:16
Speaker
Super old.
00:43:19
Speaker
71?
00:43:20
Speaker
We're going to see her next year.
00:43:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:22
Speaker
She's in Ransom too, isn't she?
00:43:23
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:43:25
Speaker
Dude, I mean, we're in the era of Rene Russo.
00:43:29
Speaker
We did Major League 2, I remember, and then... Did we do Major League 2?
00:43:35
Speaker
We did Major League 2.
00:43:36
Speaker
We also did Lethal Weapon 3, and we did Outbreak.
00:43:39
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:43:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:41
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:43:41
Speaker
So we've...
00:43:43
Speaker
she's gotten her just due on this podcast but she was awesome in this movie she's super cute she's hilarious she's like a she's a perfect foil to Travolta she and then she's like goes along with him like scamming Gene Hackman and her ex-husband they slice it right in front of you dude and I just I don't know like her character didn't have as much to do as some of the other ones that I really love but I just thought her performance was it was rock solid she was great
00:44:10
Speaker
Do you have her filmography pulled up?
00:44:13
Speaker
Because I want to know the movie she does with Tim the Toolman Taylor.
00:44:19
Speaker
It's in the early 2000s, and it's got Stanley Tucci, where he's like, I need a nuclear weapon.
00:44:26
Speaker
Oh, no, nuclear weapon.
00:44:27
Speaker
Very, very hard to get.
00:44:28
Speaker
Big trouble.
00:44:30
Speaker
Big trouble.
00:44:31
Speaker
It's got Crunk in it?
00:44:32
Speaker
Yeah, based on the Dave Barry book.
00:44:34
Speaker
Yeah, Zooey Deschanel, Sophia Vergara, Jason Lee.
00:44:38
Speaker
Also, Barry Sonnenfeld directed that.
00:44:40
Speaker
Yeah, and I think Farina's in that, too, now that I'm thinking about it.
00:44:43
Speaker
Yeah, dude, that's a fun movie.
00:44:45
Speaker
Yeah, Farina is in that.
00:44:46
Speaker
Dude, we're doing that.
00:44:47
Speaker
I forgot about that movie until just now.
00:44:52
Speaker
I need you to try weary hard to find it, then.
00:44:55
Speaker
Dude, it's Tom Sizemore, Johnny Knoxville, Janine Garofalo, Patrick Warburton, Omar Epps.
00:44:59
Speaker
This is an incredible cast.
00:45:01
Speaker
Stanley Tucci.
00:45:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:45:03
Speaker
That movie was funny.
00:45:04
Speaker
I remember dying at that one.
00:45:08
Speaker
So, yeah, man, I got to put her in third.
00:45:09
Speaker
She was fantastic.
00:45:10
Speaker
Who's your third character?
00:45:12
Speaker
Dude, I put Gene Hackman.
00:45:14
Speaker
Man, he's good.
00:45:16
Speaker
Bumbly, sweaty, freaking low-rent producer that's like... You could tell he's in way over his head, and he just played the hell out of it.
00:45:26
Speaker
Dude, I love him.
00:45:27
Speaker
Well, and I wonder because he...
00:45:30
Speaker
At least what I read at this point, he was going like, nah, I don't do comedy.
00:45:34
Speaker
But then after this, if you look at some of the stuff he does, like the birdcage, royal tenenbaums, he's had some incredible comedic performances.
00:45:41
Speaker
And I wonder if this was his entree into, hey, I can be really funny.
00:45:45
Speaker
Just like you said, though, he's playing the straight guy in a lot of those movies.
00:45:53
Speaker
I freaking love Hackman.
00:45:54
Speaker
He's awesome.
00:45:55
Speaker
I know.
00:45:56
Speaker
Is Crimson Tide this year?
00:45:58
Speaker
I think it was.
00:46:01
Speaker
I loved Crimson Tide, and he's in that.
00:46:04
Speaker
But I liked it because it was him and Denzel.
00:46:09
Speaker
Yep, Crimson Tide was this year.
00:46:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:12
Speaker
Dude, I love me some Gene Hackman.
00:46:14
Speaker
Ever since I saw him in Superman, he's been one of my faves.
00:46:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:19
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you can never go wrong with Gene Hackman.
00:46:21
Speaker
I also, like, I wouldn't have been upset if you said Denny DeVito.
00:46:24
Speaker
He was great.
00:46:25
Speaker
Delroy Lindo was great.
00:46:26
Speaker
James Gandolfini was great, but didn't really have enough to do.
00:46:29
Speaker
But there were, like, six people competing for this top three spots that were totally... Yeah.
00:46:34
Speaker
Would have been fine calls.
00:46:36
Speaker
Even the guy, Leo, that owed the money.
00:46:40
Speaker
He's from Ocean's Eleven and all those movies.
00:46:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:42
Speaker
He's always, like, a sweaty, like, fitchy little guy.
00:46:45
Speaker
He's great.
00:46:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:48
Speaker
Um...
00:46:50
Speaker
Cool.
00:46:51
Speaker
Director, Barry Sonnenfeld.
00:46:52
Speaker
Yeah, Barry Sonnenfeld.
00:46:53
Speaker
We talked about this.
00:46:55
Speaker
I think we talked about him before, but he started with the Coen brothers doing cinematography.
00:47:00
Speaker
I think we talked about him kind of co-writing stuff with the Coen brothers way back in the day before he kind of went out.
00:47:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:07
Speaker
On his own.
00:47:07
Speaker
Well, the first one I remember him doing was For Love or Money, and we did that one.
00:47:11
Speaker
Yep, For Love or Money.
00:47:13
Speaker
With Michael J. Fox.
Barry Sonnenfeld's Directing Style
00:47:18
Speaker
But dude, Men in Black, Men in Black 2.
00:47:21
Speaker
Yep.
00:47:22
Speaker
Those are both hilarious.
00:47:23
Speaker
Wild Wild West, which everyone at the time made fun of, because it was like, we'd had like five years in a row of Will Smith destroying the summer blockbusters, and then that one didn't do as well.
00:47:32
Speaker
But I love Wild Wild West.
00:47:34
Speaker
She's a breast of fresh air.
00:47:37
Speaker
Dude, I still say she's... When I walk outside and it's muggy, I'm like, oh, it is a breath of fresh ass out here.
00:47:44
Speaker
All the time.
00:47:46
Speaker
Let's just get some shut ass.
00:47:49
Speaker
Dude, yeah, I freaking love the way he directs.
00:47:52
Speaker
I like how it's like...
00:47:54
Speaker
He uses wide-angle lenses in a lot of his shots, so you can see the stuff going around.
00:48:00
Speaker
And because it's so wide, when he moves the camera, it looks like it's moving super fast, and I love that.
00:48:08
Speaker
Yeah, and because he started as a cinematographer, the camera stuff is always really good, but it seems like his movies always have...
00:48:16
Speaker
I don't know.
00:48:18
Speaker
I love comedy, and I feel like it probably doesn't get the respect that it's due, but I think it's hard to capture comedy really well.
00:48:24
Speaker
And if you look at it, he's done it a bunch of times.
00:48:27
Speaker
He can always catch people being funny.
00:48:30
Speaker
And I don't know if that's performance or camera or lighting or editing or what, but it's like, dude, his movies are funny and they could not be.
00:48:36
Speaker
I think it's a lot to do with editing, too.
00:48:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:37
Speaker
But this is the thing I like about his comedies.
00:48:40
Speaker
You look at, like...
00:48:42
Speaker
Wawa West, whether you liked it or not, like it looked good.
00:48:45
Speaker
It looked colorful and sharp and slick, just like this movie.
00:48:50
Speaker
And just like Men in Black did.
00:48:51
Speaker
Like, he's really good at, like you said, it's because he started with being like a director of photography and all that stuff.
00:49:01
Speaker
But like, dude, I thought he did a, he was a cinematographer on, um,
00:49:11
Speaker
I wrote it down.
00:49:11
Speaker
Hang on.
00:49:12
Speaker
I'll find it.
00:49:14
Speaker
Oh, Harry Met Sally.
00:49:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:49:16
Speaker
And we did that with Rob Reiner.
00:49:17
Speaker
He was a super-timer from that.
00:49:20
Speaker
So, like, he knows how to get comedy, and he makes the comedy look like an actual movie.
00:49:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:49:28
Speaker
Because you can make comedy not look good.
00:49:30
Speaker
Look at the...
00:49:32
Speaker
Like, look at Van Wilder.
00:49:35
Speaker
I just saw that the other day.
00:49:36
Speaker
Like, it came up on Shuffle and Plex, and I started watching it, and I was like, it's funny.
00:49:40
Speaker
Don't get me wrong.
00:49:42
Speaker
But it is what it is, and it's not... It doesn't look slick and colorful and sharp and punchy.
00:49:48
Speaker
I like that movie, and I haven't seen it in a long time, but I used to think it was hilarious.
00:49:52
Speaker
But if you asked me now, I think I would say...
00:49:54
Speaker
It's Ryan Reynolds that is hilarious.
00:49:57
Speaker
It's nothing about the movie that was necessarily hilarious, other than that he's funny and he was in every scene.
00:50:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:50:03
Speaker
But yeah, man, I totally get that.
00:50:05
Speaker
The screenwriter, Scott Frank.
00:50:07
Speaker
Dude.
00:50:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:50:09
Speaker
Also very good.
00:50:10
Speaker
Like Academy Award nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay for Out of Sight in 98, George Clooney.
00:50:16
Speaker
That's the same dude's book.
00:50:18
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:50:18
Speaker
Elmore Leonard, George Clooney, J-Lo.
00:50:20
Speaker
And that's a Soderbergh movie, which is, that one's really good.
00:50:25
Speaker
And then also for Logan in 2017, which is freaking the jam.
00:50:29
Speaker
Ooh.
00:50:30
Speaker
And he wrote and directed Queen's Gambit on Netflix, which I loved.
00:50:33
Speaker
That shit was awesome.
00:50:35
Speaker
I haven't watched that.
00:50:36
Speaker
Oh, dude.
00:50:37
Speaker
Really good.
00:50:38
Speaker
But, like, looking at his movies, the stuff that he wrote, like Little Man Tate, I remember, from 91 we did not get to.
Screenplay and Soundtrack Highlights
00:50:47
Speaker
Out of Sight, Minority Report, Marley and Me, Wolverine.
00:50:50
Speaker
Ooh, Minority Report.
00:50:51
Speaker
Nice.
00:50:53
Speaker
Yeah, Stu's written some good stuff, man.
00:50:55
Speaker
Marley and me.
00:50:56
Speaker
That's what I want.
00:50:57
Speaker
Can we have a movie where I watch and I have to cry?
00:51:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:02
Speaker
Marley.
00:51:02
Speaker
I had a good cry.
00:51:04
Speaker
We just did Forrest Gump not that long ago.
00:51:06
Speaker
I don't know what else you're looking for.
00:51:07
Speaker
Yeah, but I knew that was going to happen.
00:51:11
Speaker
I keep forgetting that the dog's going to cry.
00:51:13
Speaker
Spoiler.
00:51:14
Speaker
Spoiler alert.
00:51:15
Speaker
You want to watch the yearling or old yeller?
00:51:19
Speaker
And we're going to pick the yearling again.
00:51:21
Speaker
I know we are.
00:51:23
Speaker
Dude, I can't.
00:51:25
Speaker
Because it was when I was a kid and I haven't watched it as an adult.
00:51:28
Speaker
And Old Yeller, didn't the kid shoot his own dog?
00:51:31
Speaker
Like they made the kid do it.
00:51:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:34
Speaker
That's way worse than just like when I was little, it was upsetting because the dog died.
00:51:38
Speaker
And now that I'm grown, it's upsetting that they made the kid do it.
00:51:41
Speaker
kid do it.
00:51:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:42
Speaker
I don't, we've covered this, but I don't want to live in the time before air conditioning and hot water where you had to shoot your own pets.
00:51:49
Speaker
I'm not.
00:51:50
Speaker
Did you, he shot him though, right?
00:51:53
Speaker
Yes.
00:51:53
Speaker
Because for some reason I'm picturing, I always say like, yeah, just like old Yeller, tie him to a tree and hit him with a shovel.
00:52:00
Speaker
No, that's not, what is that?
00:52:01
Speaker
They didn't beat him to death.
00:52:03
Speaker
So who gets tied to a tree and hits him with a shovel?
00:52:06
Speaker
Dude, I don't, I think you're talking about, that might be a Tarantino movie.
00:52:09
Speaker
Is that Inglorious Bastards?
00:52:10
Speaker
I'm not sure.
00:52:12
Speaker
Time to a tree.
00:52:14
Speaker
I mean, according to my kid, that is about the level of trauma I've inflicted if I ask him to put his bowl in the sink when he's done with it.
00:52:23
Speaker
And it's the green bowl.
00:52:24
Speaker
I wanted a blue bowl.
00:52:26
Speaker
You're the worst at it.
00:52:28
Speaker
If you think that I have not seen food thrown on the floor in the last week because it wasn't the right bowl, you are definitely mistaken.
00:52:35
Speaker
Yeah, I like how we tried to get the bowl that suction cups to the thing.
00:52:39
Speaker
Yeah, we got those.
00:52:41
Speaker
Yeah, CeCe pulled it so hard that she just ripped the top panel off of the freaking high chair when she was a big fan.
00:52:51
Speaker
She did like the Captain America where he grabs the log and just splits it with his bare hands.
00:52:57
Speaker
But anyway, writer Scott Frank, very good, Academy Award nominated a couple different times and has done some awesome movies.
00:53:04
Speaker
Those two know their shit.
00:53:06
Speaker
We should talk about, not a lot, but talk about the score.
00:53:09
Speaker
I love a nice whatever kind of guitar that is, like a funky, like a 70s, like wah pedal.
00:53:18
Speaker
Yeah, I like that sound.
00:53:20
Speaker
And they did that a lot.
00:53:21
Speaker
Well, there was some stuff.
00:53:23
Speaker
I think there were some, I don't know if it like won anything, but there were, oh yeah, soundtrack nominated for a Grammy.
00:53:29
Speaker
Best instrumental composition written for motion picture or television.
00:53:34
Speaker
And it, I mean, it says like acid and soul jazz themed soundtrack.
00:53:39
Speaker
And it was super, like Booker T, super weird, but it was actually very cool.
00:53:44
Speaker
Well, the guy who did it, his name is John Lurie.
00:53:50
Speaker
He was raised in New Orleans also.
00:53:52
Speaker
Nice.
00:53:53
Speaker
He is also as old as I am.
00:53:55
Speaker
He's born in 78.
00:53:55
Speaker
So he hit it perfect in all of the things for me.
00:54:03
Speaker
I was like, I got to look this guy up because I like this music in the background.
00:54:07
Speaker
No, born in 1952, started releasing music in 78. 52.
00:54:11
Speaker
It's 78.
00:54:12
Speaker
That's what it was.
00:54:13
Speaker
Oh, dude.
00:54:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:14
Speaker
Lounge, lounge lizards are wrong.
00:54:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:18
Speaker
I put the wrong, I put that wrong in my notes.
00:54:20
Speaker
That's on me.
00:54:22
Speaker
Um, and I was like, cool.
00:54:23
Speaker
He's born in 78.
00:54:24
Speaker
He's as old as I am and he's killing it.
00:54:27
Speaker
Now that I think about that, he would be having been like 16 score in this movie.
00:54:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:32
Speaker
That's all right.
00:54:33
Speaker
Oh man.
00:54:35
Speaker
That's when you try to go too fast with your, with your notes.
00:54:38
Speaker
Um,
00:54:41
Speaker
But yeah, dude, I like the score.
00:54:42
Speaker
I went back and listened to it while I was typing up some of my notes.
00:54:46
Speaker
The score was definitely cool as hell.
00:54:49
Speaker
Because it's one of those things where it's like, it was kind of perfect for the vibe of the movie, but also not what you would normally hear.
00:54:58
Speaker
I mean, it wasn't like the, you know, like Speed and Bad Boys, Mark Mancino.
00:55:02
Speaker
That's perfect for that movie, but this was totally different and weird and perfect for this movie.
00:55:08
Speaker
Yes.
00:55:09
Speaker
Yes.
00:55:12
Speaker
Any other good?
00:55:13
Speaker
I saw they offered a bunch of these parts to a bunch of different people, but honestly, they nailed all of them.
00:55:19
Speaker
Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Keaton all turned down Chili Palmer.
00:55:23
Speaker
Samuel L. was considered for Delroy Lindo's role.
00:55:27
Speaker
Steve Buscemi and Matthew McConaughey were
Casting Choices and Plot Intricacies
00:55:29
Speaker
offered some different parts.
00:55:30
Speaker
But, dude, this is such good casting.
00:55:32
Speaker
Yeah, this is the way.
00:55:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:34
Speaker
This is the way to do it.
00:55:35
Speaker
What did you have for the worst?
00:55:39
Speaker
I didn't, I mean...
00:55:41
Speaker
This is what I put for the worst.
00:55:42
Speaker
And I don't think it's bad, per se.
00:55:45
Speaker
But the whole plot with the airport locker?
00:55:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:49
Speaker
And, like, if you weren't paying attention, if you got up to go refill your drink... Oh, yeah....and came back, all of a sudden you're like, what the hell's going on again?
00:56:00
Speaker
Who's got the what now with the thing?
00:56:02
Speaker
And, like, if you literally miss any of the scenes that talk about that, you don't know what the other scenes are talking about.
00:56:10
Speaker
It felt a little convoluted, that's all.
00:56:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:56:12
Speaker
And you'd have to pay a little close attention for the type of movie it was, but...
00:56:16
Speaker
I mean, I could follow it fine, and I liked it.
00:56:19
Speaker
I liked it fine.
00:56:21
Speaker
Dude, I mean, you could definitely make the argument that you should simplify this plot, but I actually kind of loved—it's the kind of movie that you expect to kind of be twisty-turny.
00:56:30
Speaker
But yeah, you're right, dude.
00:56:31
Speaker
You could easily be going like, why are there guys at the airport who have microphones that are watching this locker?
00:56:37
Speaker
Right.
00:56:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:56:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:56:39
Speaker
Dude, sorry, I found some good that I didn't get to in time.
00:56:42
Speaker
Shorty in the book was based on Dustin Hoffman.
00:56:49
Speaker
And in fact, the actual order that freaking Danny DeVito ordered at the restaurant was based off of Elmore Leonard having lunch with Dustin Hoffman and him ordering completely off menu with just that same random shit.
00:57:02
Speaker
And then after the book was released, Dustin Hoffman, because he knew Elmore Leonard, read the book and figured out that it was based on him.
00:57:11
Speaker
That it was him?
00:57:12
Speaker
That's awesome.
00:57:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:14
Speaker
That's great.
00:57:15
Speaker
And Travolta wasn't going to play Chili Palmer, and then Quentin Tarantino told him that he should do it because he thought it was too similar to his Pulp Fiction part, and Tarantino was like, dude, do it.
00:57:25
Speaker
It's awesome.
00:57:25
Speaker
You'll be great at it.
00:57:28
Speaker
And he was right.
00:57:28
Speaker
He was absolutely right.
00:57:30
Speaker
Good job.
00:57:31
Speaker
Good job, Tarantino.
00:57:32
Speaker
But yeah, dude, I didn't have any.
00:57:35
Speaker
Old tech alert.
00:57:36
Speaker
I didn't have any worse, really.
00:57:37
Speaker
I was trying to think about it.
00:57:37
Speaker
Like, I think it's, I mean, it does exactly what it's supposed to do.
00:57:42
Speaker
It does it really well.
00:57:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:45
Speaker
I mean, it's a lot of like, movies like this have a lot of, they treat violence very casually, which is like, but it's also part of the comedy of it.
00:57:55
Speaker
Right.
00:57:55
Speaker
It's like these guys can be pointing guns at each other and then later laughing and talking about how they're going to make a movie together.
00:58:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:58:03
Speaker
Sorry, old tech, magazines on the toilet.
00:58:07
Speaker
magazines in the top.
00:58:08
Speaker
I had magazines.
00:58:09
Speaker
Also, there was a physical Rolodex that he went through.
00:58:12
Speaker
I like that.
00:58:13
Speaker
I like a nice Rolodex.
00:58:15
Speaker
Also, I don't think they have those lockers in LAX anymore.
00:58:18
Speaker
I don't think you can have lockers in the airport.
00:58:21
Speaker
Now that 9-11 happened.
00:58:24
Speaker
They'd be all full of bombs.
00:58:26
Speaker
All of them.
00:58:28
Speaker
Yeah, they do still have them at water parks and stuff, and they're very reasonable if you want to rent one.
00:58:31
Speaker
It's like $78 a day.
00:58:33
Speaker
But what I do is I just take my wallet, put it in the shoe, push it up towards the toe.
00:58:37
Speaker
They never look there.
00:58:38
Speaker
They check the heel, they move on.
00:58:39
Speaker
They move on.
00:58:41
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:58:43
Speaker
Yeah, the last time I used a locker like that was on the Tron ride at Disney World.
00:58:47
Speaker
You got to put your stuff in there because when it's twisting and turning, you don't want your chain falling out and killing the people below the roller coaster.
00:58:54
Speaker
I thought for a second you said you didn't want your chain falling off.
00:58:56
Speaker
I was like, what kind of chain are you wearing there?
00:58:59
Speaker
Ludicrous.
00:58:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:02
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:59:03
Speaker
Yeah, I like to be iced out when I go to Disney.
00:59:07
Speaker
Yeah, dude, in case they don't take your card, you can just take your watch off and hand that to them.
00:59:11
Speaker
Buy your family a nice buffet.
00:59:13
Speaker
Oyster.
00:59:18
Speaker
Five questions?
R-Rating and Genre Demand
00:59:19
Speaker
Political incorrectness?
00:59:20
Speaker
Oh, I didn't have any political incorrectness.
00:59:22
Speaker
I didn't.
00:59:22
Speaker
I mean, all of the political incorrectness seemed like it was intentional and part of the comedy.
00:59:26
Speaker
Yeah, right.
00:59:27
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:59:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:30
Speaker
Five questions.
00:59:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:31
Speaker
It's rated R. It's rated R. I mean, would you let like a 13, 14-year-old watch this?
00:59:37
Speaker
I would let Jake watch this.
00:59:38
Speaker
It's a soft R for me.
00:59:40
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I think it's... It's not a hard R. Yeah, dude.
00:59:43
Speaker
Well, it's like Fortnite violence.
00:59:45
Speaker
It's not like Pulp Fiction violence.
00:59:46
Speaker
And it's just a bunch of F-words, which I don't care that much about.
00:59:50
Speaker
It's so many F-words.
00:59:53
Speaker
I want to go back and just watch the scene where he's on the toilet now.
00:59:56
Speaker
And then go rewatch when they're at the restaurant and Danny DeVito orders off menu.
01:00:01
Speaker
Sounds great.
01:00:03
Speaker
Dude, what's the thing that Gene Heckman, he broke his hand, but there's like wires like connecting his fingers?
01:00:09
Speaker
I don't know.
01:00:09
Speaker
Is that so he doesn't move it?
01:00:11
Speaker
Like, I've seen that before.
01:00:13
Speaker
You're the one who's married to a medical professional.
01:00:15
Speaker
I have no idea.
01:00:17
Speaker
I can't ask her that.
01:00:17
Speaker
She'll tell me to get out of the room.
01:00:20
Speaker
Would this movie get made if it were pitched now?
01:00:23
Speaker
It seems like a perfect type of movie.
01:00:24
Speaker
I feel like they make this type of movie like every five years.
01:00:26
Speaker
That's what I was thinking about.
01:00:27
Speaker
Crime comedy vibe.
01:00:30
Speaker
Yeah, like Lucky Number Slevin or like what's the – there was like Logan's.
01:00:34
Speaker
I thought you said recently.
01:00:35
Speaker
Well, I mean for us.
01:00:39
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:40
Speaker
Dude, but like even the – does it have to be –
01:00:44
Speaker
It can be crime comedy and police stuff.
01:00:49
Speaker
They're still making Beverly Hills Cop movies.
01:00:52
Speaker
This one I just like because it skewers Hollywood.
01:00:56
Speaker
It's got that meta movie inside of a movie.
01:00:59
Speaker
I love that.
01:01:00
Speaker
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, dude.
01:01:01
Speaker
We love that movie.
01:01:01
Speaker
That's kind of a similar type of vibe.
01:01:03
Speaker
So good.
01:01:04
Speaker
I mean, they made that pretty recently, 2005.
01:01:06
Speaker
I remember it like it was yesterday, the early aughts.
01:01:11
Speaker
I had all my cartilage fluid still.
01:01:13
Speaker
I could just, I could just jump down off the couch like nothing.
01:01:19
Speaker
I like how you said jump down off the couch.
01:01:21
Speaker
Now I'm just like, what do you think I'm jumping from?
01:01:22
Speaker
I'm going to try to stand up without making noise.
01:01:24
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:25
Speaker
All my, all my joints are still under warranty.
01:01:28
Speaker
Uh,
01:01:29
Speaker
Movie or TV show, they made a TV series about this.
01:01:32
Speaker
They did.
01:01:33
Speaker
But it seems like such a, I don't know, I just, I like a movie like this.
01:01:36
Speaker
Did you see the guy from S&O?
01:01:42
Speaker
The name of the show is Barry.
01:01:43
Speaker
It was on HBO.
01:01:44
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:45
Speaker
Where he's the contract killer.
01:01:48
Speaker
Dude, like, I, it's not exactly the same.
01:01:52
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:52
Speaker
But it's got like... Yeah, Bill Hader....quick writing.
01:01:55
Speaker
What's that?
01:01:55
Speaker
Bill Hader.
01:01:57
Speaker
Bill Hader, that's right.
01:01:59
Speaker
It's got like quick writing, and it's back and forth.
01:02:02
Speaker
It's funny, but it's also got some violence, and it's hard to follow the plot in some of those episodes.
01:02:09
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:09
Speaker
I really liked it.
01:02:10
Speaker
I think they could make this a TV show.
01:02:12
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:12
Speaker
And follow Chili Palmer.
01:02:15
Speaker
Well, dude, looking at...
01:02:17
Speaker
Looking at, like I just clicked on the Wikipedia category, Mafia Comedy Films.
01:02:22
Speaker
It's like Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag, Analyze This.
01:02:27
Speaker
When's Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag?
01:02:28
Speaker
When did that come out?
01:02:29
Speaker
We missed it.
01:02:29
Speaker
No, it's 97.
01:02:29
Speaker
97.
01:02:29
Speaker
We can't miss it, dude.
01:02:34
Speaker
But like, yeah, Get Shorty, like Bad Boy.
01:02:37
Speaker
There's a bunch of really good movies on this list of like what they call, you know,
01:02:42
Speaker
Like Dick Tracy.
01:02:43
Speaker
Mafia comedies.
01:02:44
Speaker
Mafia comedies.
01:02:45
Speaker
I'm just looking through it.
01:02:47
Speaker
Mickey Blue Eyes, Mr. Nice Guy.
Recasting Ideas and Modern Comparisons
01:02:49
Speaker
Whole Nine Yards.
01:02:50
Speaker
Oh, God, Whole Nine Yards.
01:02:53
Speaker
My Blue Heaven.
01:02:54
Speaker
There's some good... This is Oscar, which you love.
01:02:56
Speaker
Why did you have 40 copies of the same book in case I wanted to read it more than once?
01:03:03
Speaker
Ah, man.
01:03:04
Speaker
What's the difference between a pregnant woman and a light bulb?
01:03:08
Speaker
You can unscrew a light bulb.
01:03:12
Speaker
I love My Blue Heaven.
01:03:13
Speaker
We need to watch that.
01:03:15
Speaker
We missed it for the podcast, but we can just watch it just for the fun.
01:03:17
Speaker
Yeah, I'm just going to watch it.
01:03:19
Speaker
Did you recast anybody?
01:03:22
Speaker
I had a couple of people.
01:03:23
Speaker
Yeah, hit me with what you got.
01:03:26
Speaker
So I know this is not the same feel, but I would love to have Ryan Gosling play Danny DeVito.
01:03:33
Speaker
Yeah.
01:03:34
Speaker
I just re-watched Fall Guy.
01:03:38
Speaker
That dude's funny.
01:03:39
Speaker
He's funny, dude.
01:03:40
Speaker
And I love Fall Guy.
01:03:41
Speaker
He really is funny.
01:03:43
Speaker
He really is funny.
01:03:45
Speaker
So I went Ryan Gosling playing Michael, whatever his last name was.
01:03:50
Speaker
Then I went Paul Giamatti playing the Gene Hackman part because I feel like he could be that kind of thing.
01:03:58
Speaker
For Karen Flores, I feel like she might be a little too old now, but Rachel McAdams is who I would like for that.
01:04:05
Speaker
And then Oscar Isaac is who I want playing Chili Palmer.
01:04:09
Speaker
Because I like that dude.
01:04:10
Speaker
And I feel like he could do it.
01:04:13
Speaker
I didn't do Delroy Lindo.
01:04:15
Speaker
Who's Peoples Hernandez?
01:04:18
Speaker
Jeffrey Wright.
01:04:19
Speaker
That's who I want for Delroy Lindo.
01:04:23
Speaker
Bo, whatever his name was.
01:04:25
Speaker
Wasn't it Bo?
01:04:26
Speaker
Uncle Bo?
01:04:27
Speaker
I was just... Yeah, I was just thinking because I just saw him posting on social media, he's doing like a play or something, and I was just thinking that like, I would love to see John Leguizamo in this movie as like, maybe either as Bones...
01:04:42
Speaker
Oh, God.
01:04:43
Speaker
Like, just as one of the, like, hard-ass mafia.
01:04:45
Speaker
But, like, Bones is kind of perfect because he's a hard-ass mafia guy, but he also is, like, kind of a bumbling.
01:04:49
Speaker
Like, he's always screwing stuff up, and he never stops talking.
01:04:51
Speaker
But he talks so much, too.
01:04:52
Speaker
Yeah.
01:04:53
Speaker
That's... Oh, man.

01:04:56
Speaker
Mr. Leguizamo Berg, you're so dark and exotic.
01:05:01
Speaker
Oh, God.
01:05:02
Speaker
John Leguizamo.
01:05:03
Speaker
Now I need to go watch his one-man show.
01:05:06
Speaker
He's great, dude.
01:05:09
Speaker
It burns.
01:05:09
Speaker
It's in my eyes.
01:05:10
Speaker
It burns because you're wicked.
01:05:12
Speaker
Not on the lips.
01:05:19
Speaker
You have to unravel it.
01:05:22
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:24
Speaker
All right, man.
01:05:25
Speaker
Dude, where?
01:05:25
Speaker
I can't even remember.
01:05:27
Speaker
I watched this like two weeks ago.
01:05:28
Speaker
I don't even remember where I watched it.
01:05:30
Speaker
You watched it on MGM+.
01:05:32
Speaker
You don't have that, do you?
01:05:33
Speaker
No, I never even heard of that.
01:05:36
Speaker
HBO Max.
01:05:37
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:38
Speaker
HBO Max is where it was?
01:05:39
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:40
Speaker
It's an MGM.
01:05:41
Speaker
They probably don't even have MGM+.
01:05:43
Speaker
I just know you said MGM earlier, so I guessed it was MGM+.
01:05:47
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:48
Speaker
Available for streaming on HBO Max.
01:05:50
Speaker
If you missed this one and you're listening to us talk about movies, you should probably check it out because it's pretty awesome.
Upcoming Movies and Year-End Wrap-Up
01:05:55
Speaker
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
01:05:56
Speaker
We got just one movie left for $95, and we were kind of looking at the list.
01:06:00
Speaker
We're like, I don't know.
01:06:00
Speaker
We got Jumanji, American President.
01:06:02
Speaker
We got a bunch of random stuff, and I think we're going to do the Goofy movie.
01:06:08
Speaker
Just because we spent like five minutes talking about Tevin Campbell before we started recording.
01:06:11
Speaker
Like, dude, let's just do that.
01:06:13
Speaker
That movie's great.
01:06:14
Speaker
Can we just play the whole song as part of the thing or will that not work?
01:06:18
Speaker
No, it definitely will not work.
01:06:19
Speaker
We could sing the whole song and we will not get copyright strikes.
01:06:24
Speaker
I'll find a karaoke.
01:06:24
Speaker
Yeah, because it doesn't sound anything like Tevin.
01:06:26
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
01:06:27
Speaker
No one will be confused as to whether we are infringing.
01:06:33
Speaker
But that soundtrack goes way too hard and I'm looking forward to watching it again.
01:06:38
Speaker
Yeah, it's fantastic.
01:06:39
Speaker
It's fantastic.
01:06:40
Speaker
So what else?
01:06:42
Speaker
Nothing else, man.
01:06:42
Speaker
One movie left for 95, and then we'll do our Nathan's year-end wrap-up.
01:06:47
Speaker
And then it's on to 96.
01:06:48
Speaker
I totally forgot we called them the Nathans.
01:06:51
Speaker
Some 96 shit, you know what I'm saying?
01:06:56
Speaker
93 and three pennies.
01:06:57
Speaker
Get E back for the nasty 96.
01:07:02
Speaker
They're coming to New Orleans, by the way.
01:07:05
Speaker
With Boyz II Men and Tony Braxton.
01:07:07
Speaker
Nick's trying to get me to go.
01:07:08
Speaker
That's awesome.
01:07:10
Speaker
If they would all agree to do three songs, I would go.
01:07:13
Speaker
No, I mean, New Edition and Boyz II Men can do as many songs as they want.
01:07:17
Speaker
Tony Braxton, three, and then I want her to wrap it up.
01:07:20
Speaker
I don't want the deep cuts.
01:07:21
Speaker
Wrap it up and don't come back out when they're singing either.
01:07:23
Speaker
It's like, oh, Keith Sweat, he got the Greatest Hits album.
01:07:25
Speaker
I was like, is it just Nobody and then the Nobody radio version?
01:07:29
Speaker
What does he have on there?
01:07:30
Speaker
And then Twisted and then that's it?
01:07:31
Speaker
And then Twisted?
01:07:33
Speaker
What do you mean album?
01:07:34
Speaker
Greatest Hits album?
01:07:35
Speaker
What's he thinking?
01:07:36
Speaker
Um...
01:07:38
Speaker
I don't know if you know this, but I heard him sing recently live on YouTube, and he is still completely stopped up.
01:07:44
Speaker
It's just like, I want to see you.
01:07:49
Speaker
He's nasally, man.
01:07:50
Speaker
Yeah, he is.
01:07:51
Speaker
But, you know, respect to Keef Sweat out there doing it.
01:07:54
Speaker
Keef.
01:07:55
Speaker
Yeah, Keef.
01:07:56
Speaker
Keef for that.
01:07:58
Speaker
All right.
01:07:59
