Speaker
Levels, levels.
00:00:03
Speaker
Levels, levels.
00:00:05
Speaker
So I sent you a link for the highest grossing sports films on Wikipedia.
00:00:14
Speaker
You see that?
00:00:16
Speaker
I saw you sent the link.
00:00:17
Speaker
I haven't looked at it yet.
00:00:18
Speaker
Is that what you wanted to talk about this time?
00:00:20
Speaker
Yes.
00:00:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:21
Speaker
I mean, all right, let me click on it.
00:00:23
Speaker
I mean, I can't imagine what we would talk about for 30.
00:00:26
Speaker
Are you kidding me?
Discussion on Highest Grossing Sports Films List
00:00:50
Speaker
Hi, toddlers.
00:00:51
Speaker
Welcome to another episode at a time edition of Talking to Todd, a weekly podcast with Dwayne Johnson and Todd Prins, where failure is always an option.
00:00:59
Speaker
Thanks for joining us.
00:01:00
Speaker
Hey, Todd.
00:01:01
Speaker
Nate, how's it going?
00:01:03
Speaker
Pretty good.
00:01:04
Speaker
Pretty good.
00:01:04
Speaker
How are you?
00:01:08
Speaker
This isn't right.
00:01:09
Speaker
I'm just going to say this.
00:01:10
Speaker
This isn't right.
00:01:12
Speaker
You sent me that link and I'm like, yeah, I'll get to it when I need to get to it.
00:01:15
Speaker
And I haven't looked at it until now because now I need to look at it.
00:01:19
Speaker
Are you?
00:01:21
Speaker
Oh, oh, I have I have some thoughts.
00:01:25
Speaker
So I I was I I turned on Apple TV cubed.
00:01:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:31
Speaker
Did you know that they have a partnership with Peacock?
00:01:34
Speaker
Would you would you like to sign up for Peacock?
00:01:36
Speaker
You know what shows Peacock has?
00:01:38
Speaker
Would you like to would you like to sign up for Peacock?
00:01:40
Speaker
We have Peacock.
00:01:43
Speaker
Anyway, sorry.
00:01:46
Speaker
I guess I'm thinking I've got to work out.
00:01:50
Speaker
And the ad that was fed to me, or the movie that was recommended to me.
00:01:56
Speaker
Yes, not an ad.
00:01:57
Speaker
It's not an ad.
00:01:58
Speaker
It's a recommendation.
00:02:00
Speaker
Right.
00:02:00
Speaker
Thank you.
00:02:01
Speaker
Yes.
00:02:02
Speaker
I sit corrected.
00:02:05
Speaker
F1, the movie.
00:02:08
Speaker
Number one sports movie of all time.
00:02:11
Speaker
And I went, oh, that can't be right.
00:02:16
Speaker
Really?
00:02:16
Speaker
What?
00:02:17
Speaker
Okay, so I go to Wikipedia.
00:02:22
Speaker
And by the way, by number one, they're pretty liberal with number one.
00:02:27
Speaker
In theory, what they're claiming is that it's the highest grossing sports movie of all time, not that it's the best reviewed or highest rated number one, right?
00:02:40
Speaker
Right.
00:02:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:02:42
Speaker
Which is either way hard to believe.
00:02:48
Speaker
Yes.
00:02:49
Speaker
But, you know, there's been some inflation.
00:02:51
Speaker
So you sell three tickets and congratulations.
00:02:53
Speaker
You're the highest grossing movie of all time.
00:02:56
Speaker
That's how Broadway works.
00:02:57
Speaker
Yes.
00:02:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:59
Speaker
So I go to Wikipedia.
00:03:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:01
Speaker
And the list of highest grossing sports films.
00:03:07
Speaker
And I had the reaction that you had during the cold open.
00:03:11
Speaker
I'm like, well, this can't be good.
00:03:13
Speaker
This can't possibly be right.
00:03:15
Speaker
This is the source of all truth and knowledge.
00:03:17
Speaker
Telling us, telling me, telling us, on the list of highest grossing sports films.
00:03:26
Speaker
Yep.
00:03:27
Speaker
Todd, the number one sports film.
00:03:30
Speaker
Yes.
00:03:31
Speaker
Is Inside Out 2.
00:03:37
Speaker
The sport?
00:03:39
Speaker
Ice hockey.
00:03:40
Speaker
Ice hockey.
00:03:43
Speaker
Wait, that's not what that's about.
00:03:46
Speaker
It's not an ice hockey movie.
00:03:51
Speaker
I will say this.
00:03:52
Speaker
I haven't seen it.
00:03:54
Speaker
I'm going to be saying this a lot.
00:03:56
Speaker
I haven't seen it, but from what I understand,
00:04:00
Speaker
Isn't Inside Out 2 about everything that goes on in the brain of a girl who's now a teenager and having to deal with different emotions?
00:04:11
Speaker
Isn't that the point of the movie?
00:04:13
Speaker
Not, I wonder if she wins the big ice hockey game.
00:04:17
Speaker
Correct.
00:04:18
Speaker
Okay.
00:04:19
Speaker
All right.
00:04:20
Speaker
I'm going to say I haven't seen it either, but I know you're correct.
00:04:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:04:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:04:27
Speaker
Well, that must have been a one-off.
00:04:29
Speaker
That was probably, I don't know, maybe that was a one-off.
00:04:33
Speaker
What's number two?
00:04:36
Speaker
Todd, numbers two through six.
00:04:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:41
Speaker
Are Fast and Furious movies.
00:04:44
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:04:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:04:47
Speaker
The sport listed is auto racing.
00:04:53
Speaker
I mean, are they racing?
00:04:54
Speaker
Are they racing cars?
00:04:56
Speaker
Yes.
00:04:57
Speaker
Yes.
00:04:57
Speaker
Also helicopters, tanks, other stuff.
00:05:06
Speaker
I would make an argument that car racing and auto racing are two related, but completely different items.
00:05:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:22
Speaker
Okay, so that gets us through six.
00:05:25
Speaker
That must mean that number seven has to be an actual sports movie, right?
00:05:30
Speaker
Forrest Gump.
00:05:31
Speaker
Oh my God, what the... Jesus, I don't... Because he plays football for two minutes...
00:05:43
Speaker
And plays ping pong for two minutes.
00:05:46
Speaker
And they don't even list the running that he did, which I would argue there's more about the running than either of those two things.
00:05:57
Speaker
Yeah, I'm guessing they probably thought running.
00:05:59
Speaker
Oh, well, that's not really a sport because he just did that outside on a public highway.
00:06:04
Speaker
Like all the Fast and Furious movies.
00:06:06
Speaker
Sorry.
00:06:06
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:06:07
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:08
Speaker
So Forrest Gump is also a sports movie.
00:06:11
Speaker
They're taking a lot of liberties here.
00:06:13
Speaker
A lot of liberties.
00:06:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:14
Speaker
All right.
00:06:15
Speaker
So we've got Inside Out 2, Five Fast and Furious Movies, Forrest Gump.
00:06:24
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:25
Speaker
So what's number eight?
00:06:27
Speaker
Is it a sports movie?
00:06:28
Speaker
Please tell me it's a sports movie.
00:06:29
Speaker
Number eight is F1 the movie.
00:06:32
Speaker
We did it.
00:06:33
Speaker
Hang the banner.
00:06:34
Speaker
Mission accomplished.
00:06:35
Speaker
We found a sports movie in the sports movie list.
Debate on True Sports Films
00:06:40
Speaker
Number nine is Fast Five.
00:06:43
Speaker
Sure, why not?
00:06:44
Speaker
And we might as well stay in that.
00:06:46
Speaker
Let me guess, is Fast and Furious 2 the next one?
00:06:52
Speaker
No, the next one is Cars 2.
00:06:53
Speaker
Oh, geez.
00:06:53
Speaker
I...
00:06:59
Speaker
Cars 2 is a sports movie.
00:07:02
Speaker
Yeah, it's about auto racing.
00:07:06
Speaker
You know what?
00:07:07
Speaker
Cars is more about auto racing than the Fast and Furious movies are.
00:07:12
Speaker
Is it?
00:07:12
Speaker
No, but maybe.
00:07:16
Speaker
11 and 12 are Gladiator and Gladiator 2.
00:07:20
Speaker
What sport is even that?
00:07:21
Speaker
That's like fight to the death.
00:07:23
Speaker
Gladiatorial combat, which apparently is listed as a sport.
00:07:29
Speaker
I'm telling you, yes, yes.
00:07:32
Speaker
I mean, this is really just stupid.
00:07:36
Speaker
Okay, I'm just, I'm pulling up the list here.
00:07:37
Speaker
Okay.
00:07:39
Speaker
When do we get to another actual sports movie?
00:07:45
Speaker
I'm not counting cars.
00:07:46
Speaker
YOLO is about boxing.
00:07:48
Speaker
A 2024 Chinese comedy drama film.
00:07:55
Speaker
Pegasus 2 is about auto racing.
00:07:58
Speaker
Alita Battle Angel is about motorball.
00:08:02
Speaker
Whatever the hell that is.
00:08:05
Speaker
Cars 3.
00:08:07
Speaker
The original Fast and Furious.
00:08:10
Speaker
Number 19 is the Karate Kid.
00:08:14
Speaker
Getting there.
00:08:16
Speaker
It is a competition, I guess.
00:08:19
Speaker
Sure.
00:08:20
Speaker
Number 20 is Dangle.
00:08:25
Speaker
Dan Gal.
00:08:27
Speaker
It's an Indian Hindi language biographical sports drama film about wrestling.
00:08:32
Speaker
And number 21 is The Blind Side.
00:08:35
Speaker
About football and misappropriation of somebody's talents.
00:08:41
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:08:43
Speaker
22 is Rocky IV.
00:08:49
Speaker
Okay, that's a boxing move.
00:08:50
Speaker
Well, I don't know.
00:08:53
Speaker
The first couple were four.
00:08:55
Speaker
Which one is that?
00:08:57
Speaker
I will break you.
00:08:58
Speaker
Oh, oh, yeah.
00:08:59
Speaker
No, that's a boxing movie.
00:09:00
Speaker
Sure.
00:09:00
Speaker
Yep.
00:09:01
Speaker
Okay.
00:09:02
Speaker
Oh, come on.
00:09:03
Speaker
No, I just saw 23.
00:09:04
Speaker
No, no, no, no.
00:09:10
Speaker
23 is Smokey and the Bandit.
00:09:13
Speaker
Also auto racing.
00:09:16
Speaker
You know, quite frankly, if you wanted to say competitive bootlegging was a sport, I would have more... Like... I would feel better if you said the sport is competitive bootlegging.
00:09:29
Speaker
And I would say, I didn't know that that was a sport, but apparently that's great.
00:09:33
Speaker
Okay, sure.
00:09:35
Speaker
Smoking the Bandit's sport movie.
00:09:37
Speaker
If you're just... If you're just...
00:09:43
Speaker
obliquely referencing some kind of sporting activity that happens during the movie.
00:09:48
Speaker
At that point, you put demolition derby, not auto racing.
00:09:54
Speaker
Fine.
00:09:56
Speaker
By the way, just do you know, are this... The worldwide gross is this...
00:10:02
Speaker
Are these all leveled out for inflation given the number of years?
00:10:07
Speaker
Or is this in the dollars that they made while released?
00:10:14
Speaker
I do not know.
00:10:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:10:16
Speaker
I only ask that because according to this, Smokey and the Bandit, which came out in 1977, made $300 million.
00:10:24
Speaker
That has to be adjusted.
00:10:27
Speaker
No, I mean, it's good film.
00:10:31
Speaker
It's great film.
00:10:33
Speaker
There is a note up at the top.
00:10:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:35
Speaker
This article may contain unverified or indiscriminate information.
00:10:41
Speaker
You know, I'm going to put that note at the top of every email I send at work.
00:10:47
Speaker
Did you know that we can help clean up the list by removing items or incorporating them into the text of the article?
00:10:53
Speaker
Great.
00:10:54
Speaker
Now they want me to do work.
00:10:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:57
Speaker
Okay.
00:10:57
Speaker
So then what do we have?
00:10:58
Speaker
We've got real steel turbo XXX.
00:11:03
Speaker
She's extreme.
00:11:05
Speaker
Oh, sorry.
00:11:06
Speaker
I didn't know how to pronounce that.
00:11:11
Speaker
Creed I I I. Which is that boxing movie.
00:11:17
Speaker
That's a boxing boxing movie.
00:11:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:19
Speaker
28 Jerry Maguire.
00:11:21
Speaker
That is a sports movie.
00:11:23
Speaker
Is it?
00:11:24
Speaker
I mean, it takes place in a sports world.
00:11:27
Speaker
I.
00:11:29
Speaker
If it was called Rod Tidwell, it's absolutely a sport.
00:11:34
Speaker
I understand.
00:11:34
Speaker
He's a sports agent.
00:11:35
Speaker
Okay, I'll give you that one.
00:11:38
Speaker
Rocky III, the first slam dunk.
00:11:40
Speaker
Oh, now we get back to Pegasus.
00:11:43
Speaker
Oh, number 32, Babe.
00:11:46
Speaker
Because there's a sheepdog competition.
00:11:51
Speaker
Oh, it said sheepdog trial.
00:11:53
Speaker
You made it a competition.
00:11:53
Speaker
I was like, it's a sheepdog.
00:11:55
Speaker
Was the sheepdog the defendant or the plaintiff in the sheepdog trial?
00:12:04
Speaker
34, we're back to animated planes.
00:12:09
Speaker
You missed Space Jam.
00:12:10
Speaker
That's a basketball movie.
00:12:11
Speaker
Oh, Space Jam.
00:12:13
Speaker
Yes.
00:12:13
Speaker
It's not a good movie, but it is a sports movie.
00:12:17
Speaker
Silver Lining Playbook, sure.
00:12:19
Speaker
And then we're back to Too Fast, Too Furious.
00:12:21
Speaker
Boy, that is well outside the range of all of the rest of the movies.
00:12:28
Speaker
Ford versus Ferrari, sports movie.
00:12:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:12:32
Speaker
Rocky, sports movie.
00:12:34
Speaker
Million Dollar Baby, sports movie.
00:12:36
Speaker
Creed, sports movie.
00:12:37
Speaker
The Fast and the Furious.
00:12:38
Speaker
The original.
00:12:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:41
Speaker
Wow.
00:12:42
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:43
Speaker
I mean, how does...
00:12:46
Speaker
How does Point Break not make this list?
00:12:49
Speaker
Because there was surfing going on in that movie.
00:12:53
Speaker
Okay, so I scroll down a little bit and I do find this.
00:12:55
Speaker
Highest grossing pure sports films.
00:12:58
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:12:59
Speaker
So now somebody's recognized.
00:13:00
Speaker
They're taking some liberties.
00:13:03
Speaker
So if you then see Formula F1 is the number one highest grossing pure sports film.
00:13:11
Speaker
I guess this is where...
00:13:13
Speaker
Apple Apple's found a page.
00:13:16
Speaker
I wonder if you find it.
00:13:18
Speaker
Is Eddie Q of Apple Inc.
00:13:19
Speaker
The
Hosts' Favorite Sports Movies
00:13:20
Speaker
editor of this page.
00:13:21
Speaker
Anyway, that's fine.
00:13:24
Speaker
But number two and number three on the list of pure sports movies, cars, two and cars and then cars.
00:13:31
Speaker
Three of the top six, three of the pure sports movies are cars.
00:13:42
Speaker
Wow.
00:13:43
Speaker
Now, look, when you get down to 18, they still have Babe on this list.
00:13:49
Speaker
I mean, it's the list from above with the iffy films removed, but not all the iffy films.
00:13:58
Speaker
Yeah, just some of them.
00:14:01
Speaker
The highest grossing sports film franchise and film series, Fast and Furious, with 10 films, has made $6.5 billion.
00:14:10
Speaker
Rocky, 1.9 billion with nine movies.
00:14:15
Speaker
And then, of course, the Cars franchise with four movies.
00:14:21
Speaker
And then Gladiator, gladiatorial combat as a sport.
00:14:26
Speaker
Fight to the death doesn't seem to be a sport.
00:14:31
Speaker
Oh, well.
00:14:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:14:34
Speaker
Sorry, I'm going to have to quibble with Cars here.
00:14:38
Speaker
Because they say Planes is a Cars movie.
00:14:42
Speaker
And I don't think Planes is a Cars movie.
00:14:45
Speaker
It's a Planes movie.
00:14:47
Speaker
If you keep scrolling down, it specifically says highest grossing films by sport, air racing, planes.
00:14:55
Speaker
So they're having it both ways.
00:14:57
Speaker
It's in the Cars world, but it's its own... Okay.
00:15:04
Speaker
So...
00:15:06
Speaker
This list is messed up.
00:15:07
Speaker
Let's just be honest.
00:15:08
Speaker
This is just... This is all by... This is all by gross.
00:15:16
Speaker
And some of it absolutely is gross.
00:15:21
Speaker
What?
00:15:23
Speaker
Since we're talking about sports movies, let's not worry about gross.
00:15:27
Speaker
Dwayne, maybe we should look at our favorite sports movies.
00:15:33
Speaker
Let's do that.
00:15:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:35
Speaker
Do you want to go top five-ish?
00:15:37
Speaker
Yep.
00:15:37
Speaker
Cars.
00:15:40
Speaker
Mater.
00:15:41
Speaker
Give me Mater.
00:15:44
Speaker
Nope.
00:15:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:46
Speaker
Sorry.
00:15:48
Speaker
You know how we do this.
00:15:51
Speaker
Poorly.
00:15:52
Speaker
Top five-ish.
00:15:57
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:58
Speaker
I brought 15.
00:16:00
Speaker
Jeez.
00:16:00
Speaker
I was going to let you start because I'm like, you've seen more films than I have.
00:16:03
Speaker
So we should probably let you, man, we need to let you start so that we can finish inside of two hours.
00:16:10
Speaker
Mine will be in no particular order because I didn't, uh, I did not go through and rank all my movies, but I also, I also did not rank all of my movies.
00:16:19
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:20
Speaker
All right.
00:16:22
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:23
Speaker
So on my list of my favorite, and I have a, I mean, I've,
00:16:27
Speaker
You could say I'm a movie guy.
00:16:29
Speaker
You could say that.
00:16:31
Speaker
I've seen a lot of movies.
00:16:32
Speaker
I don't know.
00:16:33
Speaker
Anyway.
00:16:35
Speaker
That's a weird flex, but okay.
00:16:38
Speaker
I wouldn't have to see very many movies to have seen more movies than my co-host.
00:16:49
Speaker
So in no particular order.
00:16:51
Speaker
Yes.
00:16:52
Speaker
But in some particular order.
00:16:56
Speaker
Let's start with Bull Durham.
00:17:02
Speaker
OK.
00:17:06
Speaker
So we could play a game within a game.
00:17:09
Speaker
OK.
00:17:11
Speaker
You're going to tell me your favorite movies, sports movies.
00:17:15
Speaker
Yes.
00:17:15
Speaker
Then I need you to guess whether I have seen it or not.
00:17:20
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:17:23
Speaker
Oh, I love this.
00:17:24
Speaker
I think this is, oh, this is fantastic.
00:17:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:27
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:27
Speaker
So Bull Durham, Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon.

Speaker
Yeah.

Speaker
Tim Robbins.
00:17:36
Speaker
Tim Robbins.
00:17:38
Speaker
Not, not the current Tim Robbins, the other Tim Robbins.
00:17:41
Speaker
Right.
00:17:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:42
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:42
Speaker
So we're going to, okay.
00:17:44
Speaker
A game within a game within a game.
00:17:46
Speaker
Yep.
00:17:47
Speaker
I am going to, so we'll go through my, Jesus, this is going to take us forever.
00:17:52
Speaker
We're definitely, this is great.
00:17:54
Speaker
I'm going to name the movie.
00:17:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:57
Speaker
And then I'm going to guess whether or not you have ever seen it.
00:18:01
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:02
Speaker
And then you are going to guess whether or not I have seen it in the last year.
00:18:05
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:09
Speaker
All right.

Okay.
00:18:11

So I'm moving.
00:18:12
Speaker

So hold her.
00:18:15
Speaker
I'm going to say yes, you have seen Bulldog.
00:18:19
Speaker
I have not.
00:18:32
Speaker
Game just escalated fairly quickly.
00:18:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:36
Speaker
And I believe you have seen that in the last year.
00:18:43
Speaker
True or false.
00:18:44
Speaker
I've seen it within the last week.
00:18:47
Speaker
Well, you didn't mention it when we recorded, but I will say true.
00:18:51
Speaker
That is true.
00:18:52
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:55
Speaker
Movie number two.
00:18:57
Speaker
Hoosiers.
00:19:00

Baskets are 10 feet.
00:19:06
Speaker
Yes.
00:19:07
Speaker
Just like back in Hickory.

Speaker
Hoosiers.
00:19:15
Speaker
Yep.
00:19:16
Speaker
Yep.
00:19:18
Speaker
That's my number two.
00:19:19
Speaker
Has Todd seen Hoosiers?
00:19:22
Speaker
I'm going to say, yes, he has seen Hoosiers.
00:19:25
Speaker
I have not seen Hoosiers.
00:19:29
Speaker
Do you also get a point every time I'm wrong?
00:19:35
Speaker
I don't know how that works.
00:19:36
Speaker
I don't...
00:19:41
Speaker
Okay, so have I seen Hoosiers within the last year, Todd?
00:19:45
Speaker
I will say no.
00:19:47
Speaker
That is also correct.
00:19:49
Speaker
Todd 2, Dwayne Nothing, sweet Lord.
00:19:52
Speaker
Movie number three, A League of Their Own.
00:19:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:19:57

You've got Madonna, Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell.
00:20:03
Speaker
You know a lot of people in a lot of movies without ever seeing them.
00:20:09
Speaker
I know a lot about stuff.
00:20:12
Speaker
Anyway, yes.
00:20:12
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:15
Speaker
I have to go the other way this time.
00:20:16
Speaker
I'm going to say Todd has never seen a league of their own.
00:20:19
Speaker
I have seen that one.
00:20:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:30
Speaker
Have I seen it within the last year?
00:20:32
Speaker
I will say no.
00:20:34
Speaker
That is also correct.
00:20:35
Speaker
I have not seen it within the last year.
00:20:40
Speaker
Movie number four, 10 cup.
00:20:44

Speaker
I have seen 10 cup.
00:21:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:09
Speaker
How have you seen Tin Cup and you've not seen Bull Durham?
00:21:13
Speaker
You're a baseball guy.
00:21:16
Speaker
Played the back nine with my seven iron.
00:21:18
Speaker
Why?
00:21:19
Speaker
Why?
00:21:23
Speaker
Pard it.
00:21:24
Speaker
Pard the back nine with my seven iron.
00:21:27
Speaker
Those are very advanced golf terms that you're using on your very first lesson.
00:21:31
Speaker
Okay.

Speaker
Have I seen it within the last year?
00:21:41
Speaker
Oh, I will say yes.
00:21:43
Speaker
I have not.
00:21:44
Speaker
Oh.
00:21:45
Speaker
Because it's not available for free anywhere.
00:21:47

Oh.

Speaker
Every movie is available for free if you know where to look.
00:21:51

Wait, did I?
00:21:53

Give him the heater, Ricky.
00:22:26
Speaker
Yes, I have seen it.
00:22:27
Speaker
I finally scored a point.
00:22:31
Speaker
That really says more about me than it does about you, if we're honest.
00:22:34
Speaker
But sure.
00:22:37
Speaker
Have I seen it in the last year?
00:22:39
Speaker
I'll say yes.
00:22:40
Speaker
Yes, I have.
00:22:41

Point for time.

Speaker
Okay?
00:23:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:26
Speaker
I'm going to say, no, you have not seen Moneyball.
00:23:29
Speaker
I have seen Moneyball.
00:23:32
Speaker
There's numbers involved in math.
00:23:33
Speaker
I should have.
00:23:34
Speaker
I should have.
00:23:35
Speaker
I should have been.
00:23:36
Speaker
I should have.
00:23:36
Speaker
Yes.
00:23:38
Speaker
Um, you have not seen it in the last year.
00:23:41
Speaker
I have seen it in the last year.
00:23:46
Speaker
I've never played first.
00:23:47
Speaker
I've never played first base.
00:23:48
Speaker
We'll teach you.
00:23:49
Speaker
It's really easy.
00:23:51
Speaker
Wash, tell him how easy it is.
00:23:52
Speaker
It's incredibly difficult.
00:23:59
Speaker
We, we just talked about this number seven on my list.
00:24:02
Speaker
Jerry Maguire.
00:24:04
Speaker
Show me the money.
00:24:05
Speaker
Show me the money.

Speaker
All right.
00:24:08
Speaker
So you've got you got Tom Cruise.

Speaker
Yep.
00:24:12
Speaker
You've got.
00:24:15
Speaker
Oh, Renee Zellweger.
00:24:16
Speaker
Yes, you do.
00:24:18
Speaker
And Oscar winning Kubrick, Kubrick Jr. In the role that made him famous.
00:24:25
Speaker
Yes, that is.
00:24:26
Speaker
Yep.
00:24:27
Speaker
Yep.
00:24:27
Speaker
Yep.
00:24:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:30
Speaker
I'm going to say, yes, you have seen Jerry Maguire.
00:24:33
Speaker
I have seen Jerry Maguire.
00:24:34
Speaker
Yes.
00:24:35
Speaker
And that's how I know that a human head weighs eight pounds.
00:24:38
Speaker
That's how you know.
00:24:39
Speaker
Look, you get facts wherever you can get them.
00:24:44
Speaker
I'm going to say you have seen it in last year.
00:24:48
Speaker
Oh.
00:24:50
Speaker
Number eight, Field of Dreams.
00:24:51
Speaker
Number eight on my list of my 15 favorite movies, Field of Dreams.
00:24:55
Speaker
You got Kevin Costner.

Impactful and Memorable Sports Films
00:25:00
Speaker
Timothy Busfield.
00:25:03
Speaker
Yes.
00:25:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:05
Speaker
Weird pull there.
00:25:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:11
Speaker
I mean, it's an Iowa movie.
00:25:13
Speaker
I have to think, yes, you have seen Field of Dreams.
00:25:18
Speaker
You are correct.
00:25:19
Speaker
I have seen Field of Dreams.
00:25:22
Speaker
And in new employee orientation this week, the icebreaker was name your favorite movie.
00:25:30
Speaker
I wanted to say what's a movie, but they wouldn't get the joke.
00:25:35
Speaker
So I threw out Field of Dreams.
00:25:38
Speaker
Mostly because.
00:25:41
Speaker
That's a safe pick for favorite movie.
00:25:43
Speaker
Is it my favorite movie?
00:25:44
Speaker
I don't know.
00:25:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:46
Speaker
Depends on the day.
00:25:47
Speaker
Yeah, I could take it or leave it.
00:25:49
Speaker
Haven't seen it in a while.
00:25:50
Speaker
But if you say Field of Dreams, people go, yeah, he's in his mid 50s.
00:25:56
Speaker
That sounds like that would work.
00:26:00
Speaker
Yes, so I have seen it.
00:26:01
Speaker
So you got that.
00:26:02
Speaker
And I will say you have not seen it in the last year.
00:26:05
Speaker
That would be correct.
00:26:05
Speaker
I have not seen it in the last year.
00:26:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:09
Speaker
Number nine, a deep cut.
00:26:12
Speaker
Heaven can wait.
00:26:15
Speaker
Warren Beatty.
00:26:16
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:18
Speaker
In a track suit, sweatsuit.
00:26:24
Speaker
Diane Cannon.
00:26:25
Speaker
I want to say Wilford Brimley, but it's not.
00:26:30
Speaker
It's a guy that looks like Wilford Brimley.
00:26:32
Speaker
Anyway, Todd, I'm going to say Todd has never seen Heaven Can Wait.
00:26:37
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:38
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:40
Speaker
I here's my problem with this one.
00:26:43
Speaker
I believe that I have seen it.
00:26:49
Speaker
25 years ago when it was 25 years old.
00:26:55
Speaker
I believe I think I actually have seen it.
00:26:57
Speaker
On the other hand, I'm like, OK, then, hey, Todd, what's the plot?
00:27:00
Speaker
I understand the plot.
00:27:01
Speaker
Quarterback killed.
00:27:03
Speaker
God gets sent back.
00:27:06
Speaker
He has an instrument that he has, right?
00:27:09
Speaker
Isn't that the... He plays a... He plays a soprano saxophone.
00:27:15
Speaker
Yes, and he picks that up in The New Life.
00:27:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:19
Speaker
So I believe I have seen it.
00:27:21
Speaker
Yes.
00:27:22
Speaker
It was released in 1978.
00:27:23
Speaker
Yes.
00:27:25
Speaker
Same year that God changed his mind about black people.
00:27:35
Speaker
Jack Warden.
00:27:36
Speaker
Was the actor's name that I was trying to come up with.
00:27:38
Speaker
Got it.
00:27:38
Speaker
Yes.
00:27:39
Speaker
Jack Warden.
00:27:40
Speaker
Also, Julie Christie, Charles Grodin.
00:27:43
Speaker
Charles Grodin is great in this movie.
00:27:46
Speaker
And Buck Henry is anyway.
00:27:52
Speaker
Heaven can wait.
00:27:53
Speaker
Yep.
00:27:54
Speaker
Have I seen it?
00:27:55
Speaker
And we're going to we're going to say yes, Todd has seen it.
00:27:57
Speaker
So I missed that one.
00:27:59
Speaker
Have I seen it in the last year?
00:28:00
Speaker
I will say no.
00:28:01
Speaker
I have not.
00:28:02
Speaker
That is correct.
00:28:04
Speaker
Todd six, Dwayne three.
00:28:07
Speaker
Number 10, I've been listing out these for the last several weeks because Robert Redford passed away.
00:28:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:14
Speaker
Number 10 on the list is The Natural.
00:28:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:19
Speaker
You got Robert Redford.
00:28:20
Speaker
You got the other co-star of the movies, The Light Stand.
00:28:24
Speaker
Yes.
00:28:26
Speaker
And a bat.
00:28:30
Speaker
Yes.
00:28:31
Speaker
Yep.
00:28:31
Speaker
And maybe Glenn Close.
00:28:36
Speaker
I'm going to say, yes, Todd has seen The Natural.
00:28:39
Speaker
I have not seen The Natural.
00:28:44
Speaker
Mostly what this episode is, is a list of movies that Todd needs to go watch.
00:28:52
Speaker
Todd, with all of the movies, all of the Robert Redford movies that I have been watching.
00:28:56
Speaker
Yes.
00:28:57
Speaker
Since Robert Redford passed away.
00:28:58
Speaker
Have I seen this movie in the last year?
00:29:00
Speaker
Yes.
00:29:01
Speaker
I have not.
00:29:02
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:29:03
Speaker
What?
00:29:05
Speaker
It is on my list to catch here soon.
00:29:09
Speaker
But as of this recording, I have not yet.
00:29:13
Speaker
Number 11 on my list, another deep cut, Mystery Alaska.
00:29:20
Speaker
That's a hockey movie.
00:29:22
Speaker
It is a hockey movie.
00:29:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:26
Speaker
Don't recall who's even in that.
00:29:28
Speaker
Russell Crowe.
00:29:31
Speaker
Hank Azaria.
00:29:33
Speaker
Mary McCormack.
00:29:35
Speaker
When you said Russell Crowe, I thought, wait, did I get that wrong?
00:29:38
Speaker
It's not an ice hockey movie.
00:29:40
Speaker
It's a gladiatorial combat.
00:29:43
Speaker
A comical tale about the residents of a small, remote Alaskan town and their preoccupation with ice hockey.
00:29:49
Speaker
Excitement comes to town when, as part of a publicity stunt, the professional stars of the New York Rangers come to Alaska to face off against a local amateur team in a televised match.
00:30:01
Speaker
I love this movie.
00:30:04
Speaker
Todd, you have never seen it.
00:30:06
Speaker
Absolutely not.
00:30:07
Speaker
Never seen that movie.
00:30:09
Speaker
No.
00:30:10
Speaker
Points for me.
00:30:12
Speaker
I'm going to say you have not seen it in the last year.
00:30:15
Speaker
You're correct.
00:30:16
Speaker
I have not seen it in the last year.
00:30:18
Speaker
Of this 15, if I had to narrow them down to just a hard top five.
00:30:24
Speaker
Let's say like a top five-ish, yes.
00:30:27
Speaker
Mystery Alaska is absolutely in my hard and fast top five sports movies of all time.
00:30:34
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:30:35
Speaker
I love this movie.
00:30:38
Speaker
the New York Rangers come to town.
00:30:40
Speaker
I'm like, well, my thought was, does somebody, somebody from there bring back, they won and they bring back the Stanley cup.
00:30:47
Speaker
And you said the New York Rangers.
00:30:48
Speaker
And I said, don't worry about the Stanley cup.
00:30:53
Speaker
Number 12, maybe John Brown's favorite sports movie of all time.
00:30:59
Speaker
Caddyshack.
00:31:02
Speaker
Chevy chase.
00:31:04
Speaker
Rodney Dangerfield.
00:31:05
Speaker
Correct.
00:31:07
Speaker
Bill Murray.
00:31:08
Speaker
Yep.
00:31:08
Speaker
Yep.
00:31:09
Speaker
Ted Knight.
00:31:10
Speaker
Oh, Ted Knight.
00:31:11
Speaker
Yes.
00:31:12
Speaker
How could one forget Ted Knight?
00:31:15
Speaker
Todd has not seen Caddyshack.
00:31:18
Speaker
I have seen Caddyshack.
00:31:19
Speaker
God damn it.
00:31:26
Speaker
Tell you what, you could just take all of Caddyshack, remove it, and just leave the Bill Murray parts in and make that alone is a good film.
00:31:37
Speaker
Yes.
00:31:39
Speaker
Yes.
00:31:40
Speaker
I said, so how about something for the effort?
00:31:43
Speaker
So I got that going for me.
00:31:47
Speaker
Have I seen Caddyshack in the last year?
00:31:49
Speaker
I'm going to say yes.
00:31:51
Speaker
I have not.
00:31:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:54
Speaker
And that just feels like, I'm going to be honest, that one feels like on a plane coming back from Miami or Dallas or like, and you're just like, oh man, I'm just, I don't know.
00:32:03
Speaker
I'm just flipping through, like flipping through the screen backs and like, ooh, Caddyshack.
00:32:11
Speaker
I'm probably due.
00:32:13
Speaker
In fact, I'm probably overdue to watch Caddyshack again.
00:32:17
Speaker
Number 13, another golf movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance.
00:32:22
Speaker
That is starring Will Smith.
00:32:24
Speaker
Yes.
00:32:26
Speaker
Golf movie.
00:32:27
Speaker
Yes.
00:32:29
Speaker
Yep.
00:32:34
Speaker
It's a period movie, isn't it?
00:32:35
Speaker
Where it's like in the 20s, 30s.
00:32:38
Speaker
Yep.
00:32:40
Speaker
Where having a black caddy is a anyway.
00:32:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:46
Speaker
Okay.
00:32:47
Speaker
Yep.
00:32:48
Speaker
Yep.
00:32:49
Speaker
Charlize Theron and a young Matt Damon.
00:32:54
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:32:56
Speaker
Yep.
00:32:58
Speaker
I'm going to say Todd has never seen The Legend of Bagger Vance.
00:33:02
Speaker
That is correct.
00:33:03
Speaker
I have not.
00:33:04
Speaker
I'm now at five.
00:33:05
Speaker
I'm catching it.
00:33:07
Speaker
Have I seen it within the last year?
00:33:09
Speaker
I'll say no.
00:33:10
Speaker
You're correct.
00:33:12
Speaker
But it did make my top 15.
00:33:15
Speaker
Number 14.
00:33:16
Speaker
We're almost to the end of this, I promise.
00:33:19
Speaker
Number 14
Exploring Less Mainstream Sports Films
00:33:20
Speaker
on my list is the Sandlot.
00:33:23
Speaker
Baseball.
00:33:25
Speaker
Kids.
00:33:26
Speaker
Yep.
00:33:27
Speaker
And I couldn't name a, I should be able to name somebody who's in it, but I can't because most of the, most of the people that are in under rock kids.
00:33:34
Speaker
So yeah.
00:33:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:35
Speaker
Yep.
00:33:36
Speaker
Todd, have you seen the sandlot?
00:33:38
Speaker
Has Todd seen the sandlot?
00:33:40
Speaker
I'm going to say yes.
00:33:41
Speaker
Todd has at one point in his life seen the sandlot.
00:33:44
Speaker
I have not.
00:33:45
Speaker
God, you're killing me.
00:33:47
Speaker
Smalls.
00:33:48
Speaker
Is that where that's from though?
00:33:48
Speaker
Because I use that.
00:33:49
Speaker
I quote that frequently.
00:33:51
Speaker
I just don't know where it comes from.
00:33:52
Speaker
That is where that comes from.
00:33:54
Speaker
Got it.
00:33:55
Speaker
I think I even said that like two weeks ago about something.
00:33:58
Speaker
And Lisa's like, who's smalls?
00:33:59
Speaker
I'm like, I don't know.
00:34:00
Speaker
It's just thing.
00:34:05
Speaker
Have I seen the sandlot in the last year?
00:34:08
Speaker
I'm going to say no.
00:34:10
Speaker
You're also correct.
00:34:12
Speaker
We have not reached the point where I cannot catch up, but we are going to do the last one.
00:34:16
Speaker
Amy and I. Yes.
00:34:17
Speaker
Real quick.
00:34:17
Speaker
Real quick.
00:34:18
Speaker
Yes.
00:34:18
Speaker
Yes.
00:34:19
Speaker
It's a baseball movie.
00:34:21
Speaker
So I'm looking at Wikipedia.
00:34:22
Speaker
It's a baseball movie.
00:34:24
Speaker
Therefore, contractually obligated, James Earl Jones is in the Sandlot.
00:34:29
Speaker
That's right.
00:34:31
Speaker
Yes, I clearly have not seen the Sandlot within the last year.
00:34:34
Speaker
As is Dennis Leary.
00:34:37
Speaker
Oh, I'd forgotten that, too.
00:34:38
Speaker
Clearly, if not.
00:34:39
Speaker
OK, yes.
00:34:40
Speaker
Sorry.
00:34:41
Speaker
I mean, it was released in 93.
00:34:43
Speaker
You and Amy were what?
00:34:45
Speaker
Busy in 93.
00:34:52
Speaker
Number 15.
00:34:54
Speaker
Amy and I were just talking about this movie.
00:34:56
Speaker
Last on my list, The Replacements.
00:35:01
Speaker
Football movie.
00:35:02
Speaker
Yes.
00:35:03
Speaker
Keanu Reeves.
00:35:04
Speaker
Yes.
00:35:05
Speaker
Gene Hackman.
00:35:06
Speaker
Yes.
00:35:08
Speaker
Others.
00:35:10
Speaker
Yes.
00:35:11
Speaker
John Favreau is in this movie.
00:35:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:16
Speaker
The actor, not the political consultant.
00:35:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:21
Speaker
Not like it matters in terms of points, but I'm going to say Todd has never seen The Replacements with Keanu Reeves.
00:35:31
Speaker
I have seen it.
00:35:33
Speaker
Love it.
00:35:35
Speaker
It is really a great movie.
00:35:37
Speaker
For what it is, it's a fantastic, fantastic movie.
00:35:45
Speaker
Football Like a Cold to Clifford Franklin.
00:35:49
Speaker
Clifford, the one man cold football is like a one man cold for Clifford.
00:35:55
Speaker
He's the only one catching it.
00:35:57
Speaker
He's the only one coming down with it.
00:36:01
Speaker
By the way.
00:36:02
Speaker
So yes, I saw, I saw Keanu Reeves was talking about that because that was early on in his career.
00:36:07
Speaker
Right.
00:36:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:09
Speaker
And he talked about being in a movie with Gene Hackman.
00:36:13
Speaker
And cause so Gene played the coach, Keanu played the replacement quarterback.
00:36:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:19
Speaker
And Keanu was talking about how they were doing a scene.
00:36:24
Speaker
And he was, he was, you know, he was just, Keanu was just acting like he was completely acting.
00:36:31
Speaker
And then during, as they were setting up to, to take the shot again, Jean walked over and said, save it for the closeup.
00:36:45
Speaker
Cause it was a long shot.
00:36:47
Speaker
You don't need to do that much work, bud.
00:36:49
Speaker
Like save, save the emoting for the closeup.
00:36:55
Speaker
It was like, Hey, listen, I've been doing this a long time.
00:37:00
Speaker
This is a guy who knows how to get it done.
00:37:01
Speaker
You need to know when to take your shot and when to save your energy.
00:37:04
Speaker
Uh huh.
00:37:07
Speaker
Where have you seen the last year?
00:37:09
Speaker
I'm going to say no.
00:37:10
Speaker
That is also correct.
00:37:14
Speaker
Final score on this game that Todd invented on the fly.
00:37:17

Much like the West wing that you forgot off of your top list.
00:38:18
Speaker
I believe you probably
Conclusion and Reflections on Sports Movie Lists
00:38:20
Speaker
also forgot another movie in your top five ish 15.
00:38:26
Speaker
I'm just going to remind you of it because, you know, I think it's pretty embarrassing for you that you forgot it.
00:38:31
Speaker
American underdog.
00:38:34
Speaker
The Kurt Warner story.
00:38:36
Speaker
Nope.
00:38:37
Speaker
It is a sports movie.
00:38:39
Speaker
But but if let me ask you this, Dwayne, if given the choice, hey, Dwayne, you want to watch a sports movie?
00:38:46
Speaker
Sure.
00:38:46
Speaker
You can watch cars or American underdog.
00:38:50
Speaker
Which sports movie are you picking?
00:38:51
Speaker
I will watch cars every day of the weekend twice on Sunday.
00:38:59
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:39:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:00
Speaker
Not every sports movie is a winner.
00:39:03
Speaker
Nope.
00:39:04
Speaker
Nope.
00:39:04
Speaker
Todd, are there any sports movies that are your favorite that did not make that list of 15?
00:39:13
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:13
Speaker
That's an excellent question.
00:39:15
Speaker
Let me go through a couple here.
00:39:18
Speaker
Let me throw on.
00:39:19
Speaker
I'm looking at the Rotten Tomatoes best sports movies.
00:39:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:24
Speaker
And some of these are really good movies, whatever.
00:39:28
Speaker
I'm looking through here, things that I would at least consider free solo, the documentary.
00:39:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:34
Speaker
If you haven't seen that, was that a climbing movie?
00:39:37
Speaker
Yes.
00:39:38
Speaker
About, uh, about the guy that climbs with no ropes.
00:39:43
Speaker
If you've not seen free solo, you have to watch this.
00:39:47
Speaker
He, he climbs in Yosemite, no ropes, no harness, nobody, just him.
00:39:55
Speaker
Oh my goodness.
00:39:56
Speaker
I thought this was a behind the scenes look at the making of Star Wars 3 where they have to go to Jabba the Hutt's lair.
00:40:08
Speaker
Free Solo?
00:40:08
Speaker
Yeah, to Free Solo.
00:40:12
Speaker
No, it's not it.
00:40:13
Speaker
You should know that.
00:40:14
Speaker
It's the Star Wars universe.
00:40:15
Speaker
It's Disney.
00:40:16
Speaker
Nothing's free.
00:40:19
Speaker
Okay.
00:40:19
Speaker
Also looking through here.
00:40:22
Speaker
Also another documentary sports movie, a Senna.
00:40:26
Speaker
What's that about?
00:40:27
Speaker
No, I've never seen this.
00:40:28
Speaker
About Ayrton Senna, a multiple time F1 champion died tragically in a race.
00:40:36
Speaker
Yes.
00:40:37
Speaker
This is the one where Lisa and I went to go see it in a movie theater.
00:40:42
Speaker
we were the only two people in it right before it started.
00:40:45
Speaker
Two people came in and sat in the row in front of us in the exact two seats in front of us.
00:40:51
Speaker
I don't, if, if you're into formula one and you want to learn more about what formula one was like in the late seventies and early eighties and who, uh, and a more about people, somebody who is considered by many the greatest driver ever Senna.
00:41:07
Speaker
It came out in 2010.
00:41:10
Speaker
And then another one that I would throw out and this isn't, it's, it's not a great movie, but I certainly enjoyed it.
00:41:18
Speaker
A lot of that has to do with John Candy.
00:41:21
Speaker
Cool Runnings.
00:41:23
Speaker
Oh, I suppose.
00:41:24
Speaker
Yes, it is a sports movie.
00:41:25
Speaker
It is about the Olympics.
00:41:26
Speaker
It is.
00:41:27
Speaker
Yes.
00:41:28
Speaker
It would not have made my list of, of my top 15, but yes, that is a, a, it's a fun, it is a fun movie.
00:41:36
Speaker
Yes.
00:41:36
Speaker
And,
00:41:38
Speaker
and John Candy's character has a line in it.
00:41:42
Speaker
That's one of those where it just, it, it spoke to me at the time and I haven't seen it.
00:41:47
Speaker
I don't think I've ever, I think I've seen it one, maybe twice, whatever, but, uh, he had this interesting line.
00:41:55
Speaker
He was talking about it.
00:41:56
Speaker
He said, funny thing about a gold medal.
00:41:59
Speaker
If you're not good enough without it, you're certainly not good enough with it, which was an,
00:42:06
Speaker
Like in the middle of this cheesy, formulaic, Disney-esque movie, there's a nugget of philosophy in there that was just like, are you kidding me?
00:42:21
Speaker
Where did that come from?
00:42:24
Speaker
And I think I'm just looking through the rest of the list to see if there's anything else that needed to be added.
00:42:31
Speaker
At one point, I wouldn't put it on my list now.
00:42:33
Speaker
At one point, remember the Titans?
00:42:37
Speaker
Is a good formulaic movie.
00:42:41
Speaker
I wouldn't put it on the list.
00:42:43
Speaker
I wouldn't put it on.
00:42:45
Speaker
I would not put it on the list.
00:42:46
Speaker
Yes.
00:42:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:48
Speaker
So anyway, I think those are a couple that I would I would put on there.
00:42:52
Speaker
The one that I was going to put on there that I was positive that wasn't going to be on your list.
00:42:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:57
Speaker
The replacements.
00:42:59
Speaker
Take it.
