Introduction and Show Setup
00:00:46
Speaker
Oh, me, oh, my. It's Friday night. That means you're here with Michael and I for another episode of Nonsense and Chill. Michael, how the hell are you, buddy?
00:00:56
Speaker
I'm awesome. um Just glad to be here, Blaze. ah Friday night. Could be out drinking. know But nope, I'm here talking about movies with you, my friend.
00:01:08
Speaker
I much rather stay home nowadays when I'm this age anyway talking about movies. So I'm okay with that. um But by all means, I'm going to open a beer if you want to while we talk about movies.
00:01:24
Speaker
so right with na Tonight I'm going with soda. I'm drinking the doctor. The first soda in the United
Creating Words and Artistic License
00:01:32
Speaker
States of America. The first soda pop.
00:01:36
Speaker
Soda pop, soda pop. um Before we get rolling. um Let's get rocking. Yeah, we are talking about...
00:01:49
Speaker
ah but but So this is ah Retroscriptive. It's sort of a long form show. Retroscriptive is a word I fucking made up. And I told Rick, I was like, dude, was like, I'm excited for fucking Friday. I made up a new word and he asked me what the word was and I told him what it was.
00:02:10
Speaker
He goes, what does it mean? And I'm like, you'll have to wait till Friday. Yeah. He's like, you asshole. So anyway, I mean, we know what retrospective is. you know It's a look back on something, situation or you know whatever, event or a thing. Retrospective is a look back on scripted arts, such as movies and books and magazines and comics and such.
00:02:39
Speaker
So it's a little bit more of a narrow definition of retrospective, just more of narrow more narrow focus on scripted art so that's what retro script of is so and it's so today perfect title perfect word for tonight's topic right that's what i thought i was driving down the road specifically retro scripted beautiful term i'm on board o thank you thank you yes and for anybody says anything out there all words are made up
00:03:15
Speaker
All words are made up. All words are made up. I just watched an episode of The Office last night where Dwight said that. That's a made up word. All
True Stories and Fictionalization
00:03:26
Speaker
words are made up.
00:03:26
Speaker
but God, I was talking to someone last night about Dwight. The guy who plays Dwight, Ryan Wilson. Rain.
00:03:38
Speaker
Rain Wilson. Yep. Sorry. Sorry. He owns property in Oregon, Central Oregon. And I ran into him a couple of times when I lived there. So I'm not a person that's like, oh, let me get your autograph.
00:03:50
Speaker
Don't ever fucking do that to a celebrity at a grocery store. If they cold cock you with the freaking pork chop, you deserve it. I'm just saying. But they're people too, man. Dude's funny, though.
00:04:09
Speaker
Very funny. So what are we talking about tonight? Real life. Well, movies based on real life. Okay. Based on.
00:04:21
Speaker
And that's a brilliant little term, based on. For instance, we we went we didn't schedule this one because we're to war films. But as an example for our audience, right?
00:04:32
Speaker
Cocaine Bear. Did you watch it? I have, yes. Almost none of that is actual. Almost none of that is real. Super duper artistic license taken on that one.
00:04:48
Speaker
And I'm glad you brought that up. I want you to go a little bit more into what based, quote unquote, based on a true story means. And this will cover my ass because I forgot movie lingo.
00:04:58
Speaker
So take it away, Michael. Well, it's the thing when they say based on, I mean, yes, there is one aspect of the story or some aspect of the story that is actually real.
00:05:14
Speaker
But other than that, a lot of it's artistic license in some cases. Not every case, in some cases. I will say most cases. Because they got to Hollywood it up. And that's one of the choices I made tonight was one of my movies I wanted to talk about so specifically.
00:05:28
Speaker
ah That war film, because it's all Hollywood it up. It turned it into a love story. And that's not what they should have done.
00:05:36
Speaker
what Wasn't there a some movie that came out years and years ago that hole spurred the whole Oh, let's call stuff based on a true story so we get sued for slander.
00:05:48
Speaker
Was it you that was telling that story? Oh, I was telling you about the disclaimer you see in the movies nowadays. no Everything depicted in this film is is know not based on any person, real or fictional. that That's all because of a film a film called Rasputin and the Tsarina.
00:06:09
Speaker
It's a very old flick, and in that film, it's depicted that Rasputin was banging the Tsarina, and that was speculation, not fact, speculation.
00:06:22
Speaker
And because it was depicted in the film, they sued the film company for making that slanderous slant in their film about their Tsarina at the time. Like for her family, the surviving family sued them over that.
00:06:39
Speaker
It seems like throwing that whole disclaimer based on a true story would get you out of any possible potential legal ramifications if you were to get something wrong. Well, the based on true story part is not the part. That's just something that they'll put in there so you know that this was based on a story that actually did happen in real life.
00:07:01
Speaker
and However, how much of that story is actual fact and accurate, we'll talk about a few movies and make those comparisons. Speaking of which, um would you like to go first?
00:07:14
Speaker
Sure. Okay.
00:07:19
Speaker
Hi, Zeus. I don't know which movie you want me to throw at it. my Man, anyone. Throw one at me. All right. Well, let's start with my number one piss off.
00:07:32
Speaker
Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor sucks almost as much as I love you. but going to be honest with you. since Considering tonight was just basically movies based on true stories, not so much military movies per se, um I don't really watch military movies. and i think I saw bits and parts of that once years and years ago.
00:08:00
Speaker
Good job. You saved yourself. What's that? Go ahead. Good job not watching the whole thing. You saved yourself. Don't you do it. It is unmitigated garbage.
00:08:12
Speaker
I believe it's on Michael Bay. and all it is It is just like South Park commented on him. He has no idea what story he is. He just knows what special effects are. He doesn't understand the difference.
00:08:27
Speaker
Yeah. i ah I'm disappointed that he was allowed... reigns over or he was given the reigns for Transformers.
00:08:38
Speaker
That franchise could have been so much more epic. It was good but it could have been a
Love Stories in Historical Films
00:08:46
Speaker
lot better. Here's your rise. I think Michael Bay lacks storytelling.
00:08:51
Speaker
Anyway, what was some of the biggest... Soulless special effects extravaganza. Yeah. i mean he took it a beloved part of my childhood dude i was a fan i was glued to the tv every friday night for miami vice so i was not drinking with my friends
00:09:10
Speaker
and dude i'm telling you right now that he he made the the switch to the big screen version and it was just special effects film it was it was not miami right did michael bay do miami vice Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure Michael Bay did my own advice. i'll I'll fact check myself.
00:09:32
Speaker
Interesting. What was some of the fuck-ups with Pearl Harbor, though? just Just this, can like, consistent inaccuracies? The part I hated about it was this.
00:09:45
Speaker
Based on a true story, yes, we know the attack on Pearl Harbor happened. I will seed concede that the little tinker pieces on the bottom going through the timeline of the morning are actually accurate.
00:09:58
Speaker
They do follow the timeline of that morning and a you in a few spots, different bombings and such. I believe it's the USS Arizona was the big the big ship dumped in the harbor. It's now an underwater museum.
00:10:11
Speaker
Pretty sure it's the Arizona. benho the i They turned it into a love story. And it just really...
00:10:23
Speaker
yeah It does know.
00:10:27
Speaker
it does know. ah So, and, you know, i think you and I have talked about this before with movies. They'll take a historical event and they'll add a love story to it that has no fucking place in the story at all, like Titanic was going on there.
00:10:46
Speaker
Oh, thank you for saying. Yes, yes. which Which I purposely did not pick that movie because I know it's quote unquote based on a true story. um I'm looking up Miami Vice real quick too.
00:11:07
Speaker
I was wrong. Michael Mann, not Michael Bay. Fair, fair. But, And, you know, Open Eye, Open Eye, Open was another one like that.
00:11:20
Speaker
It was senseless to make it a, a romantic movie too. I'm sorry. I dropped my, I dropped my formula. Some Hollywood studios have to have that formula or they will not make your film.
00:11:37
Speaker
Agreed. It's a love story. It doesn't have to no tell the love story. But that puts females in seats according to some algorithm somewhere that is probably accurate to a lot of effect. And that's unfortunate. now there are Now, there are true stories out there that, based on true stories that on film, that do deserve a love story plot in it. Like, if it was like an adaptation of Bonnie and Clyde would be one. Because there is a love story there.
00:12:06
Speaker
you know, within that true, true events, there's a love story, which you could adapt to film along with the the sequence of the whole story. Yeah.
00:12:17
Speaker
Yeah. ah Same with, uh, same with Jeffrey Dahmer. That should have been a love story. This should or shouldn't have should, should have been a love story.
00:12:29
Speaker
Very passionate man, Jeffrey Dahmer.
00:12:32
Speaker
I think it, I think it was, I think, i think, um, think we we experienced his love. God, that came out really fucking sick and twisted and weird.
00:12:46
Speaker
Minty Chaos, I'm not a guest, buddy. I'm part of the show now. yeah
00:12:53
Speaker
What I meant was, I think... Oh, no, I'm talking about this right here. Blaze and Guest? Oh, no, Minty, that is a co-host, buddy.
00:13:06
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah.
00:13:12
Speaker
You are good, friend. You're good. You're good, homie. Yeah, yeah. So... More. Yeah, so, Mitzi, if I remember right, I'm trying to remember. I know you watch Glick a lot. i'm trying You've been in here, and he's brought you up before.
00:13:28
Speaker
Mitzi Kow's gaming. Love a good gamer. That's who I thought. Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Well, welcome. Welcome.
00:13:43
Speaker
Excuse me. ah You know what? Along with like being old man week, because I've been feeling my age, allergies. Oh, my God. They're kicking my ass. But moving on. titan Just to make another quick comment.
00:13:56
Speaker
There was no big, beautiful stone like that on the boat, by the way. That was an entirely fabricated story. To put them all in the same place, to to tell that stump tale.
00:14:07
Speaker
The heart of the ocean. That was called the soul of the ocean. The ocean star, whatever the hell it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just a MacGuffin. Just to throw in there to give it something to grasp, the audience to grasp onto.
00:14:23
Speaker
All right. um know Which one did I want to start with? Let's start with... Let's go with Tombstone.
00:14:34
Speaker
Love that movie. Okay. Okay. The accurate. What's that? but The location's accurate. Was it? way It was filmed down there in the OK Corral, wasn't it?
00:14:47
Speaker
It was filmed in Tombstone. You can still tour Tombstone, the original Tombstone town. Did you know where you go to the tourist? Yes.
00:14:58
Speaker
You can go down there and tour the quote unquote OK Corral, but that's not where the real OK Corral is actually at. It's somewhere else that's been paved over. Because a tourist attraction was actually a thing that started after the fact.
00:15:12
Speaker
This whole tourist attraction thing is not something that America used to do a lot. That was pretty much right on Route 66, I think. Yeah.
00:15:23
Speaker
There were some contradictions in the movie that... um Hey, girl, hey.
00:15:31
Speaker
What's up? Britney. Speaking of Britney, where did that go? Is it still in here? It's Britney, bitch. It's Britney, bitch.
00:15:42
Speaker
Who put that on loop?
00:15:46
Speaker
ah Anyway, if you guys missed the interview the other other other day with Britney, that was pretty fun. um Did you know he met his first wife when he was a pimp?
00:16:05
Speaker
Who's that, Wyatt Earp? Yes, Wyatt Earp. No shit. Yeah. So when that movie starts, when they're rolling into town and they're you know getting there, to to ah he's he's retired, he's not getting back into law enforcement.
00:16:20
Speaker
Before he did get back into law enforcement, him and his brothers tried to start stagecoach business. However, all the other established ones, all the other well-established businesses there was too much of a competition.
00:16:38
Speaker
So they ended up going back into law enforcement. I imagine the Pinkertons didn't like them trying to horn out on their stagecoach protection business. Well, no, well, no, they were going into building stagecoaches.
00:16:54
Speaker
Ah. Yes, yes. okay Though prior to Earp going to Corral or Tombstone, yeah he was an a enforcer and a gambler and a sling peeper. So you mean he's everything that they depicted in that movie was stuff that he's actually done in the past.
00:17:15
Speaker
But not everything he did in the movie was stuff he did while he was actually there in Tombstone. Yeah, I still haven't got the name of that book. for you, but check it out. It's like a six or seven, eight-part miniseries about the real vengeance ride where after his brother gets shot, the ambush and brother gets shot, they go after him hardcore.
00:17:40
Speaker
like They make it sound like he just rounded up a posse. No, man. No. no they couldt It was a posse, dude. He had literally a hundred fucking riders.
00:17:52
Speaker
Hmm. He killed like four people though. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a, he was a state sanctioned murderer at that point. Yeah. ah He had ended up during that ride. He lost his marshalship because of some of the stuff he was doing.
00:18:10
Speaker
But then you know, in that got it back. Something happened. He got it back. So he gets the last guy legal. The Johnny Ringo thing in the movie that none that's accurate. No. One thing, they didn't read they didn't wear red sashes because that's... yeah Yes, you're right.
00:18:28
Speaker
The cowboy gang did not wear red sashes.
00:18:33
Speaker
So this is what I... I did a little bit of research for today because I wanted to be somewhat prepared. The ending of that movie portrays Doc Hollywood and Wyatt Earp's relationship solid.
00:18:52
Speaker
Doc Hollywood. Doc Holliday. It's Doc Holliday, isn't it? It is. I swear you said Doc Holliday. I might have. I don't know. that I might have said Hollywood. i don't know. It's good Michael J. Fox movie, but not the one we're talking about.
00:19:06
Speaker
No, sure, right? Oh, that is a good movie. God, I've forgotten all about that movie. Oh, I'll have to look that one up. But, uh, Ah, shit. Yes. So, the movie portrays their relationship before Doc dies as good. They're bromies and everything's all well and good.
00:19:25
Speaker
In reality, they had a falling out before Doc's death. Like, they weren't they were on the outs. So, that like that that whole ending was just totally fabricated. Also, Holiday's relationship with Big Nose Kate seemed handy-dandy and fancy fun.
00:19:41
Speaker
That's the one. He was a mean drunk that beat her big-dosed ass. Oh, you know, i um even though they didn't really touch on it in the movies, in the movies, in that movie, I always kind of was suspicious.
00:19:56
Speaker
Him being a drunkard and ah gambler and a misogynist. and And just the wouldn't would put it past him. He likes to smack him around a bit.
00:20:10
Speaker
Yeah. That's accurate. He did. Yeah.
00:20:16
Speaker
Yeah, you know, and only, like, according to official records, he only killed two people in his entire life. Doc Holliday wasn't some huge gunslinger like that movie portrays him to be.
00:20:28
Speaker
A lot of people think him that way. But he was mouthy, and he did run his trap a lot. He was hoping somebody would shoot him down and end his suffering with tuberculosis. He didn't have the guts to just put the gun in his mouth and pull the trigger.
00:20:41
Speaker
Yeah. And what else? of Oh my gosh. There was so much fucking shit wrong about that movie. It's still a good movie though.
00:20:53
Speaker
Oh, it's a great play. It's great. It's fun to watch. Great portrayals. That is my Doc Holliday. Val Kilmer is my Doc Holliday, period. The best ever Doc Holliday by far.
00:21:06
Speaker
Blows Randy Quaid's Doc Holliday out of the water in the Kevin Foster-Wyeder movie. Agreed. 100% agree. Oh, and by the way, I looked into it. God, I wish I would have brought the receipts. Now have to look it up again and send you the receipts.
00:21:23
Speaker
You know what? i' will wait until trivia night. Never mind. Never mind. um'm ah I'm going to hold on to trivia night for this one. So I'm going that women but that one in my back pocket. Put that one in the I'm going to forget it for sure bank. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:21:43
Speaker
But yeah, there's a there's so much more about that movie. like There's that one part of the movie. um God, who played the part? Who played that part?
00:21:55
Speaker
Johnny Tyler was thrown out. is when johnny Billy Bob Thurden. Yes, thank you. Johnny Tyler, mad cow. They portrayed that as it happened as soon as he got into town in 1879. That incident actually happened in 1881.
00:22:12
Speaker
With the span of like a couple, like that whole tombstone thing happened within a span of a couple of years. i um He had two other brothers that they did not depict in the movie that also was with him.
00:22:28
Speaker
God, there's so much. Virgil wasn't the one who took that job. It was another one of his other brother that wasn't even in the show. Correct. Correct.
00:22:38
Speaker
Very correct. Virgil stepped in with him, and so did Morgan. But yeah. Still a great flick, though, man. Absolutely.
00:22:49
Speaker
A fun watch. Great, great performances. Great performances.
00:22:56
Speaker
Very great performance.

Speaker
He played Johnny Ringo. Yes. You know who thought was... The guy who played... He's Shirley Bill Brosis. That's him.
00:23:13
Speaker
That guy. He, I, that character. The guy who played him was amazing. Isn't that Disney Powers Booth? I think so.
00:23:25
Speaker
But don't quote me on that. He's great in a few different things. ah him and joe Him and Bill Paxton were in Tombstone together. He also was in, Bill Paxton directed a movie called for frailty okay and that he plays an excellent role excellent role
00:23:51

00:27:25
Speaker
There's not one I'm going to get involved with. That's asking for a fight. That sounds it sounds like it. It's my stare, bitch. Wow.
00:27:37
Speaker
Oh, what movie you got next, homie? I'm going to what I think is the best for last. Let's talk about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre based on a true story. Ooh.
00:27:49
Speaker
Ooh, okay. This one's based on a true story. In lot of ways, the Tombstone was based on a true story. Yeah. Some of that stuff happened someplace.
00:28:01
Speaker
Loosely based on Ed Gein, super loose and that Ed Gein did put like human body part like lampshades and stuff like he had human skin lampshades, things like that. Human skin bound books, I think he bound some some of his ratings in human skin.
00:28:21
Speaker
But other than that, yeah, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a walk down the macabre path. Terrifying film. It still makes my flesh crawl when he plants that girl on the hook and she's still alive when he does it. ah yeah that was The wet sound and and just the look on her face and oh my God.
00:28:44
Speaker
To this day, just thinking about it makes my flesh crawl. One of the most gruesome things I've ever seen in my life. And it's stuck with me for my entire life. But yeah, other than that, other than that, it's pretty much nothing to do with Ed's actual deal.
00:29:03
Speaker
So I knew about the movie before I knew about Ed Game. When the first time I watched the movie, i didn't know was based on the true story. I didn't know what based on a true story even meant. ah Moist sounds are the best, according to me.
00:29:21
Speaker
but Sorry, I got distracted by the word moist. A lot of people find that word......cringy. But I love that word moist. It's very moist. It's very moist in here. Anyway, but I better unmoisted in here. But anyway, anyway, I'm getting on a tangent about being moisty. Moist. moist ah
00:29:42
Speaker
Chainsaw. So i didn't know them I didn't know what based on a true story meant. I was young. I was young at the time. But I had watched it. I was like, yay, horror movie. Fucking that was a dope-ass flick. Dude, the gore, the storyline. That's a fucked up family.
00:29:59
Speaker
And then I'm like, I find out that it's based on a true story. Like, oh my god, this shit fucking happened. Again, I didn't know what based on a true story really meant. Then I find out that it's based on some fucking dude, Ed Gain, that had, based on the true story, this is this is this was the movie when I found out based out based on a true story.
00:30:22
Speaker
is very very it's a It's a phrase that holds a lot of weight. A lot of weight. There's no real definition of what based on a true story is.
00:30:35
Speaker
Like, you can have, like, one element of your story be based on the true story, and then the rest of it just not. Like like do you said, cocaine there. And this story is one of those, because Ed Gang was just some evil dude, weirdo, which I don't think he actually ever killed anyone.
00:30:53
Speaker
He was a grave digger. He would take body parts, and he would make furniture and shit out He was a really wacko dude. But don't think he actually ever killed anyone, if I remember right.
00:31:04
Speaker
Am I wrong in that? I'm double checking that. I'm pretty sure he did. If he did, then okay, then I'm

totally wrong. But still, like not the same as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is about a whole entire family.
00:31:20
Speaker
Cannibals a murder and take over the suit. Serial killer and body snatcher. Okay, so he was a serial killer. I apologize. The butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield ghoul.
00:31:32
Speaker
Ghoul. I mean, but you know what? the texas saint The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did give a ghoulish kind of thing, like appearance to or aesthetic.
00:31:44
Speaker
So I'll give it that. That's accurate.
00:31:48
Speaker
But it's like I said, that was that was the movie where I learned what, quote unquote, what a based on a true story movie is. It means it's well, it could be real could be just crap.
00:32:03
Speaker
He admitted to killing two women in town.
00:32:07
Speaker
Oh. I thought he had to be three or more to be a serial killer. He's a suspected serial killer. Oh. So it could be more. Because there was a lot of deaths in his immediate family that were a little funky.
00:32:25
Speaker
I think maybe he was murdering off his family early in life. Huh.
00:32:32
Speaker
Hmm.
00:32:35
Speaker
I live versus he failed lie detectors, test and shit.
00:32:43
Speaker
On some of the cases they were asking about. Okay. 14 year old girl, eight year old girl, 42 year old woman.
00:33:01
Speaker
Well, what a crazy fuck. Yeah, he was a strange dude. Yeah, he was digging the bodies up and manufacturing little trinkets and tea sticks. Like the lampshade. Skin lampshade and stuff. I mean, what's that smell like when you dig up a dead body?
00:33:17
Speaker
That can't be fresh. I mean, that's going to be funky, no fresh. yeah I guess it all depends on how long it's been there. I mean, if it's been there long enough where it's supposed to decay, probably not much. But if it's fresh, yeah, I don't even think about it, dude.
00:33:33
Speaker
I'll tell you what's interesting, though, that my next movie is also based on a serial killer.
00:33:44
Speaker
But this guy killed 10 people.
00:33:47
Speaker
Would y'all ever dig up a dead body? Brittany asks. I definitely would not. I don't like the the smell of dead shit.
00:33:59
Speaker
It depends on why and what the incentive is.
00:34:04
Speaker
I mean, that's a weird fucking answer. bla Why? Because no is the answer. What's wrong with you? You don't dig dead bodies, motherfucker. You don't do that. What if what if I worked at?
00:34:18
Speaker
But what if I what if I got a job at a cemetery as the guy who digs the graves in court of order? And there was a court order that came down that said exhume the body. And I had to, like I said, why? and what's my incentive?
00:34:37
Speaker
be shoot Thank goodness you covered that. What do you mean, what's your incentive? What the fuck? there's a There's a rational answer to that. that is Thank goodness.
00:34:51
Speaker
You had to freaking out there for a minute. I like, holy shit, I thought I knew this guy. I mean, I'm not saying I show up to the graveyard with a freaking jar of petroleum jelly and a curling iron, but... I'm not saying that.
00:35:04
Speaker
But... it
00:35:08
Speaker
What's the curling iron for? yeah. Preheat. So there's this movie that came out 1973, 1974, starring Martin Sheen. One of his first movies. Watch. Walk me through this one.
00:35:26
Speaker
st starring martin sheen one of his first movies let dig watch sore gonna walk me through this one Yeah, so this was one I was wanting to do a watch party with you, but internet and timing, that'd be.
00:35:43
Speaker
So it's about this this this, the movie's about this guy. um that he's ah He's a Vietnam vet, or Korean War veteran, one of the two.
00:35:55
Speaker
trying to think of. It is late 50s, so Korean War. Korean War. takes place in mid to late 50s, Korean War. He's a veteran. He is a garbage man.
00:36:07
Speaker
he is... It was like a five year difference. He was 18. She was 13 when they met. He met this girl, Carol Fugit.
00:36:21
Speaker
um In the movie, totally different. I'm confusing the movie and the fucking real story now. Hold on. God, this was such an interesting story, dude.
00:36:33
Speaker
Anyway, Martin Sheen plays the main character. The woman, the romantic role, is played by Sissy Spacek. She played Carrie.
00:36:44
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. no Yeah, yeah. Coal Miner's daughter. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And so he basically, she's from like a a well more well-to-do family. He's white trash. Father doesn't like him.
00:37:03
Speaker
They get in a spat. He shoots the dad. They run off. He goes on a murder spree pretty much. ya Yada, yada, yada. Does this plot sound familiar to you?
00:37:16
Speaker
It's half of every movie I've ever watched ever. It's almost like Natural Born Killers.
00:37:24
Speaker
Because that movie, too, is also based off, what's this gentleman's name? His name is, I should have turned the fucking light on in here, Charles Starkweather.
00:37:37
Speaker
ah He was a serial killer in the mid-50s, killed like 10 people. That's what that movie's based off of. They had the National Guard out looking for his ass.
00:37:48
Speaker
everything, dude. It's nuts. Before the interstates were a big thing. ah They were just being built in the late 50s, really. Yeah, yeah.
00:37:58
Speaker
Disappear back then. Oh, man. You're off 20 different country roads, you know what mean? and cops aren't like they are today. you know There's no highway, interstate patrols, things like that.
00:38:09
Speaker
There's no interstates either. No, no, no. It would just be so easy to just disappear back then. And then half the people don't have picture or
00:38:19
Speaker
It's so easy just to make up a new identity and just go along. and
00:38:26
Speaker
I'm glad I'm born now because the fear of getting raped in prison is what keeps me out of jail. yeah but
00:38:39
Speaker
Is that a weird thing to say? It's just funny. It caught me off guard. You're good. It's been a weird week, man. um But no, I... I thought I had i had never really... i i was aware of Natural Born Killers.
00:38:55
Speaker
Good movie. I like its message. um But this movie, when I watched it... Okay, there was a lot of... It was a shorter movie. This movie came out 1973, so the storytelling is a lot...
00:39:11
Speaker
slower they they they they leave a lot out it's not embellished it's not michael bay buffoonery it's simple it's it's a very very very oh god what's that uh the tempo is very just monotone ah but martin sheen does a very good job playing this like manipulative conniving rebel kid that that uh uh uh with his charisma convinced this young young girl like the dude's like almost like charles manson like to get him to go on a fucking road trip where he gets an altercation just goes on a murder spree dude and then uh
00:39:59
Speaker
He ends up getting arrested, um of course. And they label they pretty much said he looks like the james he looks like James Dean. In the movie, yeah that that was also a reference, too.
00:40:11
Speaker
Very good looking good-looking teenager, or like you know like i said, 18, 19, something like that. Really good-looking, handsome charisma. And just, boom, and just um like a Bonnie and Clyde moment, man.
00:40:25
Speaker
And that movie had that romance in it. Not the typical boy done wrong, boy gone wrong.
00:40:33
Speaker
No, he was boy art. Well, if you look into the the story of Charles, charles not Studebaker, why do I want to say Studebaker? Starkweather.
00:40:44
Speaker
Starkweather. Like, he had a interesting, shitty childhood. So, yeah. A lot of those thrill-kill types, mass murderers slash thrill-killers,
00:40:58
Speaker
have that in their common ancestry. Oh yeah. Part of their origin story.
00:41:06
Speaker
But not every abused kid grows up to be an abuser. Nope, this is true. And not every non-abused kid grows up not to be a serial killer. Absolutely right. People are a box of chocolates with mayonnaise.
00:41:21
Speaker
I'm glad you followed that up with with mayonnaise because if you would if you don't know which one you'll get, I was going end the stream. yeah
00:41:33
Speaker
I have a special place in hell for its gulp. Yeah, tell me why. It'll movie noise and piss out of me.
00:41:45
Speaker
I found it an interesting and fun watch. I won't watch it now. I don't do anything with it. that Tom Hanks is in. I have no support for Tom Hanks whatsoever. We have to talk about that offline. I hear that from people. I don't know why that is, but go ahead.
00:42:02
Speaker
a I mean, I can tell you really quick why, unless you don't want to.
00:42:20
Speaker
That's some smooth stuff right there, kids. That's the smooth stuff right there, kids. but Fucking allergies, man.
00:42:32
Speaker
Anyway, sure. Just real quick, I guess. He was a frequent flyer on Child Island.
00:42:43
Speaker
One of the frequent flyer lists.
00:42:47
Speaker
72 trips or some shit like that. Mm-hmm. And as I read that, I was done with him. Fair enough. That does make sense. That's a line that you don't cross in my world and get to stay there. I vote with my dollar.
00:43:01
Speaker
I mean, I won't even, um don't care if it's on a free site somewhere.
Light Banter and Movie Trivia
00:43:05
Speaker
I'm worried that if I click on that somehow, some way he gets a penny for it. Yeah. And I don't want to support that type of activity and that type of behavior period.
00:43:14
Speaker
And that's why I don't watch Tom Hanks anything anymore. Fair enough. Actor. Can't take that away from him. He was a big part of the study that you showed me the other day on that link I clicked that was a really good video by the way About what a great actress versus somebody who's just themselves in multiple situations. Yeah yeah
00:43:37
Speaker
Man, I don't know if that's your strain bro not for livestream Oh man ah Call that strain. Not for live streaming. Man. o Shoot. No, it's not. i like but really be getting off no It's a combination of the allergies, too. Anyway. oh Yeah, that's the biggest thing. um so Badlands.
00:44:05
Speaker
What movie did you have next? and We are flying through these. I know. I know. i done new free I'm on my last one.
00:44:17
Speaker
Fargo. Do you want to take a break? Well, that's not what I'm saying. And we're kind of flying through these a little quick. I expected these to last little longer. I know.
00:44:28
Speaker
I picked poorly on our topic tonight. But we can talk about other major shit that was yeah we're good du adapted from other sports materials. Hold up. but
00:44:42
Speaker
But anyway, Fargo was my last choice based on true story. But this is one of the good examples of where based on true story covers the bases in a much more earnest, much more real way.
00:44:55
Speaker
That movie is way more real than you've realized. I mean, most of the facets in that film are depicted the way they the way they played out. Interesting. Because that was... Dumbest series of idiocy that led up to tragedy.
00:45:15
Speaker
Go ahead. Oh, no, no. you No, that's basically what i was going to say. oh There was a lot of... Dumbery? but Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:26
Speaker
You're good, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. ah yeah So, um yeah, if you don't know the story, used car lot owner, married into money, starts selling real nice cars and stuff.
00:45:44
Speaker
But the father's like a total gangster and wants to hold the purse strings over the guy's head. He's trying to do a deal for just himself. But really what he's doing is he's out blowing it all on gambling and and blown sharks and He doesn't have the money to cover his debts.
00:45:59
Speaker
Now he's like, ah, what do I do? He's about to get caught for a scam he was running and where he was just ah launching cars off the lot and selling them on the black market illegally.
00:46:09
Speaker
Ooh, going away from the taxes and everything else. Like that's what started the whole thing where he had to kidnap his own person. that spoiler alerts Spoiler alert, alert.
00:46:22
Speaker
But, ah ah yeah. yeah Just ah all the different weird little things about that. And even at the end, Homeboy hit the movie hid the money.
00:46:36
Speaker
Supposedly, that really did happen. It's buried somewhere. It still has been on not recovered, I don't think. Pretty sure it's still not recovered. And when that movie came out, every year after that, dozens and dozens of people are out looking for that money.
00:46:52
Speaker
So that's learned about that story. And the thing is, in the movie, they show it like right near a yeah property line or whatever near a road. The actual burial site somewhere else completely.
00:47:04
Speaker
But people will have looked and seen that movie so many times. The spot in the movie gets dug up yearly.
00:47:13
Speaker
Who researched it enough to not research it enough to know that that spot's been dug up several times. We have to find the actual spot from the movie and start digging.
00:47:24
Speaker
Well, Britney's heard of story, too. But yeah, a a true, true story. Like, almost every single aspect of that film is depicted honestly and factually. I'm going to have watch that again, because it's been so long. And honestly, I think when it was on... That movie. go When did that come out?
00:47:44
Speaker
That was late 90s. Oh, boy. I want to say 96, 97. 97.
00:47:49
Speaker
Yeah, that's around the time I graduated high school. was going in the Air Force. like I was not thinking with my movie watching head.
00:47:59
Speaker
My mind was elsewhere. What great flick. Fun to watch. Francis McDormand. Dude, it's Farrelly Brothers, man. You cannot go wrong. I know. i hear Like I got said, I was in the room when it was on TV, but I wasn't focused on the movie, but I know it's a good movie and there's great actors in it. I know it's a good movie. It's one of those ones. like, it's on the list where I need to go back and watch it.
00:48:26
Speaker
So like Blazing Saddles was until I finally watched it a couple months ago, finally. I know I'm horrible. I'm horrible for a guy on a movie show. horrible at watching movies.
00:48:38
Speaker
Well, that's an American classic. yeah I chose that film for a film as U.S. history class paper. Got an A-plus on a paper on Blazing Saddles for film as U.S. history. Great class.
00:48:51
Speaker
It's the best. I think that is definitely a movie that would fit into American history. Bravo, sir. I can see that.
00:49:02
Speaker
But, yeah, the the hype around the movie being true and everything. brings people there to this day every single year looking for that treasure trying to find it. That very satchel of money.
00:49:16
Speaker
Brittany, get a shovel. We got some digging to do. Not bodies. Not bodies, though. Yeah, what I said earlier, put the shovel away. Drop the shovel, baby. No, no. Unless it's a warrant from the court to exhume a body. Then other than that, put the shovel away.
00:49:38
Speaker
What a grim fucking occupation. Great. It's like that builds you in as a weirdo in town.
00:49:50
Speaker
I don't know. I, uh, when I was younger, always, uh, I always mess. I always not wrestle with the idea, but not drunk idea about getting into the, uh, being a mortician or into the, uh,
00:50:06
Speaker
the dead business of the dead i was i always always had in my head it's like man that is a that's job security right there that's right yeah that's the way i was looking at it so what do you think about um braveheart uh that's another one that's right up there with uh Pearl Harbor, very little actual history in that one.
00:50:36
Speaker
Very, very, very little. But what like overall, I think it's a shit movie. As far as the movie goes, dude, it's a fun watch. That's another one that's a fun watch for me.
00:50:51
Speaker
The camaraderie amongst the men and everything like that. The way they prove they paint Prince Philip from ah i the ireland our Irish Prince Philip. It's my island.
00:51:03
Speaker
The Almighty, I was talking to you. don't know so much about the characterizations. I mean, his buddy from childhood, Liam or... don't know if it was Liam. Either way, either way, it was, i don't know, man.
00:51:19
Speaker
Fair, fair. I know it's a it was a popular movie. It won a lot of awards. It was... Cinematically, it's a beautiful film, cinematically. I mean, so much beauty in the in the scenery.
00:51:34
Speaker
And it tells a tale of rebellion. Everyone loves an underdog story. It does. Especially when the big dog is the British Empire. Think your battery died, buddy.
00:51:48
Speaker
No, I turned it off. I was turning on the the light. um I like It's one of my cousin's favorite movies. You talking about Fargo or are we talking about?
00:51:59
Speaker
and They're starting about Braveheart. Okay, I thought we moved on. thought she might have been told about Fario, but um mostly I had to turn on my other light because I couldn't see my fucking notes.
00:52:14
Speaker
So... Well, the thing i the number one thing about that movie I did not like is the way they they paint... Oh,
00:52:26
Speaker
Leon DeBruce as a hero. Okay. Wallace were trying to do the and the Good thing the right thing Leon the Bruce was a ruthless Ruthless fucking stomp egg who would turn time I mean they The the ballot was a fall Kirk I think where he betrayed William Wallace That had happened multiple times with Leon DeBruce.
00:52:54
Speaker
You never knew whose side he was going to be on when he approached the the field of battle. He had switched sides with supporting Longshanks and not. Supporting Longshanks and not.
00:53:05
Speaker
Whatever was going to hold his position is what he did. I mean, thats the time period you're talking about, diplomacy isn't really a thing yet. It's just... vehement treachery and bloodthirsty betrayals.
00:53:18
Speaker
That was the order of the day. i mean, that was, i mean, if you know, treachery and just bloodthirsty ambition, that was politics.
00:53:32
Speaker
I agree. i agree. I, um,
00:53:38
Speaker
with all that said, i want to, I want, I wanted to say real quick, um, Even though tonight's about based on a true story, and this, I guess, still is quote-unquote based on a true story, but it's yeah was this movie was actually based off of a poem written 165 years after Wallace's death.
00:54:02
Speaker
That's what i was saying. It's kind of this one, room like the yeah whole Atlantis thing. They take a couple lines from a poem and just run with it, and now William Wallace is great folk hero.
00:54:14
Speaker
Yes, level zero nobody Yes, and they even like they even make a remark about that within the movie itself. Oh William Wallace is seven foot tall um But there was a lot of like like if you're not somebody that's really in the history in I'm not in the history especially Scottish history um Enough to have ever have figured any of this out without actually looking looking it up right yes first of all so i i don't want anybody think i'm like so i'm no at all i'm not i looked this shit up so um princess isabella was nine years old when wallace died in real life think about that creepy
00:55:08
Speaker
yeah yeah you yeah yeah either he was knocking boots or that it was just just made up love story that didn't need to be there absolutely it was absolutely it was yeah plus they wanted to see i think it was just a poke in the eye for long shanks without that final showdown her girl power moment it's you know There's so much inspiration in that movie based on absolute bullshit. Do do you know who Randall Wallace is?
00:55:44
Speaker
Offhand, no. He's the writer of Braveheart. Oh, okay. That makes sense then. He's a Wallace. ye and there was ah there was a I don't know if there' if there's a connection there, but ah there was an interview that he did years ago about about this movie.
00:56:00
Speaker
And this is why i don't think, and he'll even make the argument for me why I don't think this really should be quote unquote based on a true story. I think this is a total fictional.
00:56:11
Speaker
This is a 41 second clip. ah just it's it's It's interesting his mindset when he was writing about this. The question of the historical accuracy of Braveheart is one that um that always makes me laugh.
00:56:25
Speaker
When we're creating something, when we're in the business of storytelling, we're in a process of myth-making for which the audience, the listeners, are just as crucial as the speakers.
00:56:39
Speaker
They respond to the story in a certain way. I wasn't looking to describe facts or numbers or to quantify. William Wallace, I wanted to to capture a spirit and a feeling that I had had when movies had changed my life.
00:57:00
Speaker
Yeah, like, like no historical accuracy. This movie takes place in the 13th century. Like, late 13th century. like Like, 1280. 1286 is when it actually, suppose, real life took place.
00:57:20
Speaker
Real events in the movie. yeah But 1280 is when the movie says it opens up. Which is the 13th century. Kilts didn't emerge until the 16th century. Like the 1500s.
00:57:35
Speaker
Like ah two centuries after the fact. That's funny. Yeah. yeah or Yeah. But it's Scotland, so everybody's got to wear a kilt.
00:57:48
Speaker
Fucking don't. Oh, no, that would have been accurate. that's Never mind. I would say, well, Rob Roy's probably bullshit, too. But they had muskets in Rob Roy, so that was definitely in the 15 years ago.
00:57:59
Speaker
Rob Roy, great movie.
00:58:03
Speaker
Love me a kilt. You know what? to be To be fair, you can ask Glick about this, Brittany. I've been talking about it. and've actually I've actually jokingly, it's kind of serious, especially when gets hot, about getting one of those utility kilts.
00:58:18
Speaker
to wear when it's fucking extra hot, dude, because, like, it makes sense with that extra airflow, I'm just saying, it's good on the balls. um
00:58:32
Speaker
In the movie, it depicts... Huh? What's that? we tonight who In the movie, it depicts William Wallace as growing up as some poor farmer, dude.
00:58:48
Speaker
And his uncle teaching him how to fight with a sword. When in all actuality, he was a minor nobleman. Never done any sort of hard labor, but was actually trained to be a soldier.
00:59:03
Speaker
So, I thought that was pretty, and interesting tidbit of information. Well, that was so sort of the way it went, because he took him at a young age to yeah to London. I think he took him to London to grow to grow up and be educated.
00:59:18
Speaker
Or maybe it Edinburgh. Edinburgh Scotland. Well, in the real life, William Wallace, if I remember right, and please correct me, there is speculation that he did fight as a mercenary all for the English crown i went at one time.
00:59:42
Speaker
So that is possible. That is very, very possible. A lot folks did. A lot of folks did. That was the classic British tactic. Send the mercenaries first.
00:59:54
Speaker
Because every mercenary that dies in battle doesn't get paid after it's over.
01:00:00
Speaker
Think about it. I also found out that Prima Nocturna shit's bullshit.
01:00:08
Speaker
Prima Nocturna? Yeah. That's bullshit. Remember in the movie? yeah Yeah, I know what Prima Nocturna means. That was a thing. It's a myth. That is not a real thing. That is not a real thing. Yeah. oh Through my research, I found that. And apparently the chastity belts are made up myths as well.
01:00:30
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:33
Speaker
And the blue paint in the movie on their face? Not a real thing either. Like this movie was so not based when it comes to historical accuracy.
01:00:47
Speaker
like I knew it was off with some stuff, but once I started like peeling it pulling the layers back, it's like, holy shit. and This is only a few items that I wrote down. There's just so many more.
01:01:05
Speaker
Did you know that in like historical records, there's a story of William Wallace and a friend stealing a lady's casket gear out of her home? Say what?
01:01:18
Speaker
Yeah, Willie Wallace wasn't like some saint. Him and her buddy stole a fucking old lady's fucking cask of beer out of her home. Oh, man. What about you?
01:01:31
Speaker
That's it.
01:01:35
Speaker
Rewrite Braveheart. Cancel Braveheart. i thought it was freaking hilarious to tell you the truth. Oh, Don't go see on me. She needs it more than anybody.
01:01:48
Speaker
And there's so many more movies out there that are based on a true story. So many more. Amityville Horror is based on a true story. If you ghosts are real, I want to punch in the face. I won't because not a violent person.
01:02:06
Speaker
In the back my mind somewhere, it's like, punch me in the face, punch me in the face, punch in the face. Not real. Ghost hunts. i have yet to see any kind of fucking good proof.
01:02:16
Speaker
apparently All these very active places are inactive the days I'm there.
01:02:24
Speaker
Hell, I mean, the label based on a true story, you can pretty much pretty much slap on anything. You can slap that on Jurassic Park now. I'm just saying. but like but like ah put a Put a mouse mammoth and be like, it was meant to be accidentally a mammoth mammoth, but they fucked up.
01:02:46
Speaker
based on true story. That's inside fuck. That's inside. That is inside as fuck. Now, like with the with the Ableville horror and the fail and all that, they knew like a year or two after they released the first movie.
01:03:13
Speaker
that dude had recanted most of his story and let him know, you know, kind of, you know, we sort of, you know, embellish this and embellish that. So I made it up. I mean, so much of it was already debunked, but they still did it anyway. They still earned them. I'm sorry. A year or two before they made the movie, they knew all that was bullshit, but they did it anyway. A lot of the scenes were just written for the movie based on his bullshit that they already knew was bullshit.
01:03:40
Speaker
but they knew it was still a good movie. It was still a good story. Because that's the thing. Like that Randall Wallace said, they're in the business of writing stories.
01:03:53
Speaker
Oh, crap. There's a really good quote. was
01:04:00
Speaker
It's about law. It's not whether you're innocent or guilty of what you prove in court. Yeah. And that's a gross thing to hear.
01:04:13
Speaker
That's just gross to me. i mean Yucky cuckoo poo poo. A lot of the same as the film.
01:04:23
Speaker
I, um, well, and another thing I think is gross is I'll be talking to someone, me being somebody that was in the military. I'm talking to someone and we're talking about just general, general military shit.
01:04:39
Speaker
And, um, and they'll bring up a certain they'll bring up like pearl harvard or something and they'll say something off the wall that i remember from my from my uh because when when you're in the air force i know i'm speaking just perspective from the air force testing varies amongst the branches we test on not just knowledge on our job but knowledge of like the Air Force in general, like historical facts, you know, were places where the Air Force well had influences in wars and et cetera. Anyway, so they'll say something and I'm like, I know in the back of my head, well, that's not completely accurate. And I'm like, well, where'd you learn that from?
01:05:26
Speaker
And they I saw in Pearl Harbor. And I'm like, they're talking about the movie. Yes, sir. Wow. Stop getting your history lessons from fucking movies. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
01:05:39
Speaker
I'll even go as far as saying F a documentary to be very, very wary of those. Be extra wary of those because most of us know that when we go to hollywood like go see a Hollywood movie based on a true story, we know it's going to be embellished.
01:05:57
Speaker
But when we watch the documentary, a lot of us think that they're all completely factual. That isn't true either. So. See who backed it. See who funded it.
01:06:11
Speaker
evening And then you'll see where the slant is. Yep, yep, yep. See what their angle is. if their angle is to be informative, you're probably in the right hands, I'm just saying.
01:06:25
Speaker
So. So.
01:06:29
Speaker
other movies based on true stories. Can you think of any?
Promotions and Upcoming Events
01:06:33
Speaker
Oh, what's that one? It's another Tom Aang's one. It popped up on my radar. The baseball one. i always thought that one was good.
01:06:41
Speaker
Oh, League Their Own? Yes, a League of Their Own. Yes.
01:06:51
Speaker
I think, isn't E.T.? No, I'm joking. E.T.? but ah No, alien ET is not based on a true story. That alien story is not real. No, I'll find the other hand.
01:07:05
Speaker
If your cat's missing first check the Chinese restaurant second check her out. You know, I was usually I'll, uh, I will find a movie that I'm like, Oh man, that's like based on a true story. I didn't realize that was based on a true story.
01:07:25
Speaker
of course there's a lot of like obvious ones. I'm scrolling through a couple right here. I'm just like, yeah, some of these I can imagine. I have one just as a joke.
01:07:36
Speaker
um I'm wondering if you think it's considered based on a true story or not because this one did pop up on my radar. Idiocracy is based on a future true story. ah Now it is. Definitely now it is.
01:07:51
Speaker
i was going to say the passion of the Christ, but damn it, that's a better punchline.
01:08:01
Speaker
um What's that one? I remember watching. it's a It's a good movie. It's not like an action movie or anything. It's with, oh,
01:08:13
Speaker
Julia Roberts, Aaron Brockovich. Aaron Brockovich, a real person. dad's a That movie is accurate. There is some embellishment for entertainment's sake.
01:08:26
Speaker
Like Julia Roberts being the character. yeah Yeah, right. She was hot pants girl at all. um No, but for the meat of the story, the plot of what's going on, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:08:42
Speaker
yeah A self-made attorney.
01:08:47
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Erin Brockovich, a true story, yes. But the movie again, too much artistic license.
01:08:59
Speaker
But this is before you could put Philip Seymour off in a movie and he wins an Oscar for best actor.
01:09:05
Speaker
melissa Melissa McCarthy would have been a better Erin Brockovich to be the real life Erin Brockovich. Melissa McCarthy? Yes. I'm trying to picture who that is on the top of my head. Melissa McCarthy, yeah identity thief.
01:09:22
Speaker
lets mccarth Oh, I'm thinking somebody that was like around around at that time that movie come out and no, she wasn't. But yeah, you're right. I honestly don't think she's unattractive.
01:09:36
Speaker
I didn't suggest she was. No, I know. I know. I mean, like in a conventional sense.
01:09:42
Speaker
Anyway, it's not the point we're here. Um, The Blind Side. Yes, Blind Side is another one. That is true. Never watched this. i haven't either, but i know it's based on true story.
01:09:55
Speaker
One of my favorite movies is based on a true story. Remember the other night when Brittany asked what three movies we can watch all year? one Oh, was it Big Lebowski?
01:10:08
Speaker
No, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Big Lebowski not, sir. Yeah, I know however However, it is modeled off a real guy. Anyway. Now the thing about figure living in Las Vegas is I can totally buy that be a hundred of Thompson's day.
01:10:25
Speaker
I've read a lot about Hunter S Thompson and just as deep Dean was interesting. Yeah. so
01:10:36
Speaker
I mean to watch the intake that he would take daily.
01:10:41
Speaker
they
01:10:44
Speaker
Low cool. Low key. i've I've always had a crush on Sandra Bullock. I don't know where she came up from, but yeah. 28 days later.
01:10:57
Speaker
28 days. Her best movie by far.
01:11:04
Speaker
Great fucking movie. I liked her in Demolition, man.
01:11:11
Speaker
You really licked his ass. Yeah. Her character was just fun. Like...
01:11:20
Speaker
You ever been watching a movie and and you're watching this actor play a character and you're watching and you're like, God, they're really having fun with this character. You can just tell. And that just seems like that's what she was doing with that character. knew it It was awesome.
01:11:38
Speaker
Snipes 2. Huh? Snipes 2. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. He plays a fucking awesome villain. He plays a good hero, too. Don't get me wrong.
01:11:51
Speaker
But he plays an awesome villain. Yeah.
01:11:56
Speaker
One of his better roles. Fun fun to watch. God, he...
01:12:02
Speaker
I've seen the future and the future is a 45 year old virgin sitting in his mama's basement singing. I'm an Oscar Meyer wiener.
01:12:18
Speaker
benjamin brown du i forgot about that. He was the other, the other cop. Yeah. a fun cast. Even Stallone couldn't ruin that one.
01:12:32
Speaker
No, no, no, not at all. Not at all. God damn it, man. Wasn't Cliffhanger based on a true so true story?
01:12:43
Speaker
That I'm not sure. Oh, Firejumper was. Firejumper, was that a slice alone? It wasn't him. It was, I want to say Dolph Lundgren.
01:12:59
Speaker
But I could be wrong on that.
01:13:03
Speaker
It is the 1993 film Cliffhanger is based on a true story, specifically true story of Yosemite Dope plane crash in 1976. I had feeling it was. I think it was James Franco.
01:13:14
Speaker
He played in a and know based on a true story where he cut his hand off. 193 hours. That's That's the one. 127. 127 hours. Yeah. I was in flight 193. Yeah.
01:13:28
Speaker
um was flight one ninety three And depending on what what end of the ah time loop you're on when you're watching this, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is also based on true story.
01:13:46
Speaker
