The 1988 Movie Draft

The semester-by-tag lab-tabücher soft-behind the internet. It's a master's real-time.

“I'm saying, you can say that you're a hero.”

You're a master, right? But you don't understand. Exactly. It's a very useful trick. You just do it with this story. And if you then work, you'll be able to do it.

-That's right? -Safe. This story. You're going to be a hero. Now, let's try it out. [MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm Sean Fennessey. I'm Amanda Davin. And this is the big picture a conversation show about 1988. We're in the new studio with CR's here. So of course, we must be drafting.

And a special guest is here with us Bill Simmons. What were you last on the show? I don't know. Do you ever know? I never know.

You said to me, I never, you never ask about a week and a half ago.

And I was thinking about it. And we were talking about 1988 as a movie draft. And I go down the list. And I was like, a lot of Bill Simmons bangers in here. A lot of your stuff is in this year.

But a freshman year in college. Hold on. I don't want to talk about that yet. Because you have a million movie opinions. And some of which you're brave enough to share publicly.

Some of which you keep to yourself. I share all of them. I don't keep anything to myself. And all white stuff. So please pay me.

You don't have anything to debut here. Yeah, like we did. Did you try any modern movie stuff for us? Oh, modern stuff. Yeah.

Are we in and tell me, too? What did you see? Project Hell Mary. I didn't see that yet. Okay.

It's long. I saw that. It's like a commitment for me during like the height of when I'm studying MBA and March madness. Like three and a half hours.

Basically start to finish. Is Hamlet still your number one film of 2025? Was it my number one film? Was it my number one performance? Okay.

I think that's fair. Really appreciate it. And like that. You're talking about, okay. Right.

Okay. Did you cry? No. Wow. Definitely not.

This episode of The Big Picture is presented by State Farm, sure, being an expert and movie trivia is impressive. You know, it's even more impressive, being smart about saving money. And a great way to do that is by saving when you choose to bundle home and auto with the State Farm Personal Price Plan, bundling, just another way to save with the personal

price plan. This is based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer, availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state.

As always, the comedy is always get swept under the rug at the Oscars, which I know

is a big passion point of yours. It is. Were there any big comedies in 25? Happy Gilmore too? None that I can remember.

Okay. Yeah. Kind of an issue. I thought I was going to move here though.

“It was, uh, I think like an A minus, a lot of big directors, some good arguments.”

Good for content. Yeah. We have a nice time. My favorite movie was probably sinners, but I know that's minority opinion, but it was the one I saw the most times.

I think it's only minority in the academy at this point. I feel like most people are pretty high up would F1 be for you. I've seen it three times. I loved in the theater. I understand why I didn't win the Oscar.

I wasn't expecting it. Were you, when that movie gets nominated for Best Picture, are you excited? Are you like hell, yeah? This is what we need to do. I thought we should have done seven, six, sevens the right number.

Seven films nominated for Best Film. The theme you were every year. I think nine's a little fat, sir. I do too. I think that there's a lot of sacred, like ceremonial sacrifices that just get thrown

into business. But first one, you would have cut this year with sinners. The second one was what? It's secret age. Yeah, yeah.

The second one was what? The second one was what? The second one. The second one was what? Yeah.

The second one was what? The second one was what? The second one was what? The second one was what? It's secret age.

The second one was what? There should have been a male tech on F1, it shouldn't have been carried content.

“I think it was a really good movie here, and even some films that weren't even nominated”

for some of my most beloved. You know, one of the reasons it was a good movie here? Because we didn't have a two-year pandemic, and we were actually able to make stuff again. Yes, that was one thing. Outside.

Because if you look back at the first couple years of the ringer, they were pretty good movie years. We had a lot of stuff to talk about.

I think the best one was the one right before COVID-19 was amazing.

It also 2017 was Lady Bird, and get out, and spread, and yeah, 2017 and 2019 were amazing years. Yeah. So, I think we're back. We're clawing back.

But we have this next generation, these 18 to 22 year olds who've just been filming stuff with their phones since they were like seven years old. These are going to be our next-score phases. Are they going to go to cinema or are they going to become influencers and content creators? No, they're going to have their next view of just how to make their people who like

movies, but also have all those skills, that's going to be that's going to be our 1970s crew. What stopped you from being one of those people? Um, it was due to time consuming and demanded way too much focus.

What about talent? Did you have it? Not really. Not for that. Yeah.

Not for a break. I've been good for you though. Hold on, guys. You're going to take a break. Yeah.

Five minutes. I'm just going to talk to you. If you found something to take secret breaks without even becoming a filmmaker. Can I ask you one more modern cinema question? Yeah.

It's going to be in or out. Ooh. Of all the way in. All the way in. Yeah.

You're excited about this. Michael. Chris Nolan.

“Do you think Damon's going to bring any boss into the grease there?”

I'm in. I've intentionally tried to read nothing, watch any trailer and I don't know who's in it other than Matt Damon. Okay. You will this story of the Odyssey.

Of course. Do you think Matt Damon is going to hit the sideclubs with you? Think you're better than me? I'm playing. It's in play.

This is probably the last act for him because he's heading into his late 50s and I think it's hard to be an action here after a certain point. I think that I know what he mean by that. No, I just think you age in a different level of roles. I think he's well suited to color of my apartment.

Yeah. He's going to embrace it whereas like somebody like our GATC has not him with the show on me. No, Tom. Oh, right.

Okay. Not embraced. No. Well, we'll see.

We never talked about the probably bullshit rumor that Tom Cruise was

going to be the villain and Joseph Kizinski's Miami Vice. We didn't. We actually get your thoughts on told you my thoughts immediately did not pass the sniff test. Didn't seem real.

No. Yeah. It was debunked for us by the source.

“I like to sometimes live in like the alternate reality.”

You want, you want TC back out there. TC is called a roan or whatever like TC just being being like Neil from collateral, but in Miami Vice again would be amazing. Do you want him from like a Puerto Rican accent? No, we could we could iterate on his ethnic background if we, I'm just saying like

Miami Vice is rich with characters like that that he couldn't have it. My dream for TC, I'm not just saying this because Amanda's here, but like a Nancy Myers thing where he's like a divorced or a widowed old guy falling in love with like a slightly younger woman like an and half away, maybe like mid late 40s. It would be like.

Let's do it. He's great. It's done. Yeah. I feel like get him out of the helicopter though.

I want to say like basically Jared McGuire 30 years later coming to grips with some stuff. What did Nancy Myers ask title is it like it's about time.

And like it's a double on tangerine with like we finally see Tom Cruz back in.

You gotta head to him. Yes. Yeah. Exactly. It's honestly very good.

He feels like. It's like like a bouquet of flowers in one hand and his cell phone and the other. Yeah. He's got to make a choice. Love or money.

And Albert Brooks and and you know, Alec Baldwin like, oh, I guess in James I was the one with Reese with her spoon where she was a softball player. You know. Yeah. I didn't know.

That was Nancy Myers was like man, that's a great title. How to take that. How do you know? How do you know? No, no question mark.

No, no question mark. Are you sure? I'm almost positive. There's no question mark at the end of that title. No, you're right.

James Brooks getting like 10 years to research softball is one of the great. Did you do it for free? Did you? Did you? Did you do it for free?

I try to watch it. No. It's tough. Will them okay? Is that what you thought?

Yeah. My wife and I tried to watch. My wife was out in 15 minutes. I held on for another like six. Right.

It was on Hulu. I just couldn't like hang it on the cliff. Hang it on. That's James though. I just just didn't work.

Yeah, I just didn't work. Who does the him for? Did it make movies? I just that one didn't work. Do Brooks know 1988 movie?

No. Because 87 is the best. This is really his era though. This is kind of the nice segue CR. You ready to go forward?

We could stick around on on contemporary cinema if you want. Let's start with you because I know Bill has a lot of thoughts about this. Time, but who are you in 1988? What were you doing? Just bangin' on doors for DuCoccus.

You know? Making shit. Dude. Were you the one who put him in that tank? I was like, people love it.

Eleven year olds are gonna love it. Yeah. No, I was a, I was a VHS kid. So a lot of these movies, I've seen double digit times. I'm fair.

I wouldn't say very many of them. I saw it in the theater, but this was like the peak of going and renting two, three, videos a day coming home and then getting late charges and forgetting to rewind and all the, all the things that went along with blockbusters and smaller videos stores back then. What a time.

What if we had cable too? Yeah. There was two different ways to go see whatever. I was looking at the box office, you know, box office module also has like, you know, the release date and all this stuff and in April, there was still stuff from the previous

Christmas in theater, like, good morning Vietnam is still in theaters in like, like a thousand theaters in April. Yeah.

“So a thing I do think I remember is maybe getting to go see movies much later in their”

runs. If like my parents finally broke down, I'm like, I don't know what to do with you.

So you can see a good morning Vietnam, yeah, just an incredible variety of stuff.

And also, I don't even trust the box office figures because there was so much sneaking into the next movie and going for the entire day and seeing three movies.

Most horror movies, you could probably add like $2 million on just, yeah, kids sneaking

into them. There was no, there was nobody working at any theater. It would be like a 14 movie theater complex. There's only a couple of these left in bigger cities and you would just go at 12 and just bang out three.

Were you seeing a lot of movies at this time? Oh, yeah. In the theater. Oh, yeah. We had less to do.

Yeah. But it was, we knew what was coming out.

“I think premier magazine was already around at this point.”

There was just starting to be like some sense of the culture of it. And as you can see from the movies we're about to draft, they were just fucking awesome movies. Really stars. I remember seeing cocktail with my, we talked about this when we did the Rewatchables with

my buddy Jim Graydy in New York City, where we were going out in New York City that night

because we could legally drink there.

But we saw cocktail during the day and it was like structured this whole day or we'll see cocktail at the 230 show. Okay. We'll drive it in the city. But it was like a big deal.

Some of these actors, excuse me, rival aims. We didn't know Bruce Willis was yet, but crews, steamer, Stallones in here, cost not cared about at this point. We just had people you want to go to the theater for, which has been the problem really. This entire century.

Yeah. How many people do you want to go see just because it's like cost. Yeah. That's a really good way of putting it. Yeah.

Who are you? Who are you doing? I was three turning four. So I was primarily interested in the Oscar winning cinema of Julie Andrews. At this point on VHS.

So this is another draft where it's you're doing the homework after the fact. And so it's kind of what got handed down to me by my parents in the world's number one Barry Levinson fan Knox Dobbins, my dad. And then what I sought out on my own and what kind of rises to the public cultural, this is important.

You need to check this out even though it's been 10 or 15 years later. So it'll be interesting. Some of these categories are very full. And some of these categories are a little padding from me. That's okay.

I have a question about that. But I want to hear your biographical snapshot of 90. I probably just started going into the movies pretty regularly at this time. I was just telling a story to someone the other day that where I grew up, there was about an eight minute walk from my house.

I grew up near the Walt Whitman Mall and grew up in Huntington, which is where Walt Whitman was born. Everything was named after Walt Whitman. The Walt Whitman Mall had a single movie theater attached to it.

It's one of the very first mall movie theaters in America at open in 1963.

And I saw a shit ton of movies there in my life. It's close now. But I can remember going to that mall with my little sister and going to see like all of the new golden age Disney classics. So like in any nine, it was a little mermaid in 90.

It was the beauty in the beast in 92. It was Aladdin in 94. It was the Lion King.

“So like I remember that stuff very vividly.”

I don't remember watching a ton of these movies in 88 just because I'm a little bit. Except for who Frank Radja Rabbit, which established his love for Redheads. Well, we will get there for sure. Bringing up who Frank Radja Rabbit, this is an interesting list in that there is one film here that is like emotionally significant to each person at the table that I could think

of off the top of my head. I just won. Well, not just one, but there's one where it's like if the person in question doesn't get it. Yeah.

And it stars have a trifle like this in a minute. And that's intriguing. And you know, and Sean's is who framed Radja Rabbit, I think we all know, yours has already been named Chuck. Nobody knows what mine is.

Well, you have your full of surprise. There are a few big real movies in this presentation of Christ Guy. Good soundtrack. Yeah. You guys certainly share one in this year.

But I thought this would be a really fun one for the four of us specifically because like you say. Talisman's these idols. It really matters. I mean, the bubble was the sequels were really bad.

Yes. Oh, I was curious if I could have bought it. You elected sequels. He texted me at this morning, being like, the sequels really happening was this, why was just like purpose?

I for some reason I had made my list, I had kind of sort of lately organized it. And then I was like, did I miss five movies?

“And I was like, no, I think this is just a challenge.”

And then also your box office slider very interestingly went to 75. Okay. Well, I'll, I'll tell you, am I thinking on both one, I think these, these drafts. I mean, we've now done, I don't even know how many over a whole, almost a hundred probably. Oh, not, we, you've done a hundred drafts.

So I've been so fast at the same time. We've saved them like 60. I mean, you might hear. We've been doing those since 2020, once a month. So how many months is that?

Yeah. Well, 65. So yeah. So that's 60. Plus a couple.

Yeah. That's five. Yeah. Okay. It should definitely be movies that you love.

Movies that represent what was going on in the space at that time.

I think it's nice to get a snapshot of the state of the art. And the sequel thing gives you that snapshot to some extent. The box office here's why I did this this way. We did 1989 last year and we had the same threshold.

And there were 17 movies eligible with 75 million dollars threshold.

In 1988, there are only nine. There also was a $350 million movie in 1989. No movie cracked $200 million in the US in 1988. So what happened? What was that about?

Because we think of this as a great year. But the returns don't reveal a great year in movie going. I'm trying to remember. I just think first of all, there were so many movies back then. And maybe it feels like people just grabbed the oxygen from other movies.

Might have been way more 60 million dollar movies. And that might have been, we're not seeing that when we look at the top. There wasn't that one massive giant thing that was coming out. And there was also wasn't like the really the phenomenon either.

“Because two years later, I think is pretty women.”

And Ghost was two or three years later. But these movies that kind of came out of nowhere and then everybody went. And I didn't. When I was looking at the box office, Mojo for this, like, there's not, like, coming to America was Eddie Murphy.

Of course, we were going to that. Good morning, Vietnam was was Rob Williams trying to be funny. And big had the best buzz of anything. Big was like, we all love time hacks that whole decade. And it's like, this is Penny Marshall, the studio loves it.

They think it's going to be, and everybody went and then everybody loved it. I don't know how to even compare it to now, because so much of now is also pocket-wouturing

with, like, well, it actually costs 250 million dollars.

So I'll see you in three months and we'll see if it's in the black. When you look at, say, that April of 1988 that I was referring to earlier, you've got one outlier big earner at the top. And then everything else is, like, bunch together, but between 10 and 16 million dollars for that month, which is just steady.

It's just doubles, you know?

“And I think that's what they really excelled at, and it's a completely different model”

where it's just like, no, we want people coming to the weekend to come into the movies twice a week. Five times a month. And so we got to give them a lot of stuff to choose from and to your point about movie stars.

I think there was, like, a wider variety of people. It was like, I don't really know much about, you know, this cast, but I like Neil Simon and I like Matthew Broderick, so I'll check it out, you know, or- I saw them in the theater, I mean, I really like it. Some relaxing blues in the theater.

Yeah. We were like, there was nothing else. We had seen everything else. Like, fine, Matt Broderick, he was Ferris Bueller two years ago. Let's go.

This also maintenance eight starts a lot of franchises or, you know, it's interesting to have a sequel category here where there are a lot of firsts. There's only one sequel in the top 10 to the top. And so, but, you know, it's a starting point, and maybe even a little bit of a change going into the 90s.

So, you know, the first movie doesn't wrap up as much money.

“I think also Rayman was number one this year at the box office, and the reason why is”

because it had that long-tailed, iridescribing where it was in awards movie, and it was in theaters forever. So, it got to play for a long period of time, like, "Hemnets not in movie theaters anymore." You know, one battle is not in movie theaters anymore, it operates way differently now than it used to.

Well, cruise was the biggest star we had coming out of '88. This is like his MV PCs. Yeah. He's cocktail, no business being where you're finished. The same night's biggest movie.

Like, that's insane. Cocktails. I love Cocktails. Right, yeah.

But it made $78 million, but people were just in on cruise.

That's because you planned to see it at $2.30 before they got into the city. It made a bit of $50 million, it might have been mine. There was also, they were using their leverage because they essentially controlled the two ways you could see movies between home video and theaters. So they would control those windows where they were like, "If you don't see it, now you

have to wait a year before it hits video shelves." So, people were a little bit more motivated to be like, "Okay, this has been out for four months, but I want to see it because I don't want to have to wait till like, next summer to see this." I do remember, in the moment, the next summer, like thinking something might be heading

the wrong way and even like having, because there were so many sequels, and specifically the Indiana Jones movie, which we were excited to see and we all liked, but it just felt familiar. Yeah, when I was looking at that 88 list, it's a lot of like original stuff that just caught people, caught actors in the right time in their career where were the good ideas.

Our movies that couldn't be as equal, you could have big two unless it was probably like a really dark thriller. So it's still obsessed with them 20 years later. Every single movie in the top seven in '89, either was a sequel or kicked off a franchise. Yeah.

And that is just one year later where the, you know, almost the opposite is true for these movies, which is really interesting. You know, two Tom Cruise movies, two Michael's movies in this year, put to your point about Baloxy blues, a lot of heavyweight filmmakers made movies this year. I don't hear some forward movies, right, two Harrison Ford movies.

I don't usually do this, but Scorsese, a couple of Tim Burton, Lawrence Cazden, Ron Howard,

on down the line.

“All of the major horror guys had movies, Wes Craven, John Carpenter, George Romero, you”

know, you had your Gary N. Penny Marshall had a movie this year, Frank Oz had a movie this year, like a lot of the like well-known Hollywood professionals were making a lot of movies at this time. It was very active. Maybe this year, so it's interesting that like it's a mixed bag, almost, almost none of

them made their best movie this year, yeah, Bruce Willis, well, yeah, and then there's that too. And then that's a movie that kind of changed movies forever in a way as well. The star power is incredible. It's name a star from the 80s and 90s that had a movie this year and it's probably a good

movie. Some people like Hanks was in two movies. A lot of people were delved 'em up. Three, four, we have said Michelle Fyffrey, yeah, I know, I know, but this is a really rubber taser kind of thrown from the finish line out, like I'm here just looking at some

beats.

But I do always feel like because of my age that I'm a little bit behind some of the

80s stars, like I missed to me more at the height. I missed Michelle Fyffrey, you know, by the time that we work conscious, Michelle Fyffrey

“was doing what's the movie where she, you know, teaches the fingers, it's different from”

dangerous liaison from this year, but so, but this is, this is Fyffrey at the absolute peak of her powers. I don't think I told you this. I saw, I did talk about it on the 89 pod. I saw Fabulous Baker Boys for the first time last year and I was just blown away by it.

It's a grand slam. It's the other thing about, there were some people in here, the 80s we had less to talk about. There were some people you always liked, and I was like, I was like, I'm buying stock and blank joke.

There were some people like I like that guy, or I like that lady and you're hoping it would happen. Yeah. And it really happened for a bunch of people, like even Hanks, Hanks was not Hanks until big.

We knew who was the old decade, he had big movies, Splash was a hit, but he was kind of bouncing around and like, this is going to happen for this guy and then he did big. It's to this year. Willis was on mood lighting and it's like, that guy's a movie star and then he has died hard, but it was there's like eight or nine of those in there, even like the

neuro doing comedy was a huge deal, like it didn't even know he could do that. It's also an interesting year in the relationship between mainstream and independent cinema because I don't even know if you would say this is the slacker area yet, like you know, it's we're almost there though, like she's got to have it to come out, do the right things the next year, sex lies in the video tape is the next year.

Our most put some movie out, '89, there are underground filmmakers who are emerging, but they're not, there's not that like Indy Cinema Sundance moment yet. Kenan's was the was the one I remember from this year, I'm gonna get you suckers, yeah. That was like, I don't think he spent a lot of money on it and it was like kind of a

“ground soul movie, but it felt like that started to be there at Native 90, I think.”

Yeah. I mean, Spike had a movie he had school days this year, but then it wasn't the big massive breakthrough. You're right that it was not the independent movement had not been like subsumed in the Hollywood.

Yeah, it was famous in '90s. And it's premiere max too, so it's like, you know, we're still in a moment where they haven't created like a new like movies for like awards, like there are award movies, but I don't even know if you would even be able to define what they were at the time. You were referring earlier about certain guys in the government who got well known for

never raising their voices, but starting wars and there are a lot of film directors this

year, they're kind of similar, like 58 year old men who were just very assured hands were very good at making movies, but they're not a part of like a cool young class. Yeah. Maybe this is like a, I don't know, I'd say it was a transitional moment, but it's feels like right?

Yeah, the other thing that changed the, we're basically done with the 80s teen comedies. And you see we've moved, we're moved into this license to drive. There's just not as good. 87 was like the last year where you had camp, I mean love and like really good movies that still, that these, the teen movies from this era just I hadn't seen any of them until

that great, prepping for this. Any other stray thoughts before we determine our draft order, just also like this kind of mass volume Hollywood output also like really mixes up genres so that there's a lot of like you could put it in drama, you could put it in action, you could put it in a variety. We're going to need to talk about that.

So there's seven categories. You cut out comedy in the.com and he's one of the comedies. Yeah, yeah. I know why that doesn't hear. Sorry.

Yes. I just didn't even miss it. Yes, it isn't. That's okay. Well, I totally miss it.

There's just a comedy list. So long. Yes. My apologies. I think cut it out.

Seven categories, those categories are drama, comedy, action horror thriller, Oscar

nominee, sequel, lockbuster, the threshold is $75 million and wild card.

And we all have to have an Oscar nominee and they could only be one of the five of this. Nope. It can be any movie that got an Oscar nomination that you're. You're an Oscar.

So you have a part you can get a long list for that Oscar nominee.

Cocktail, no nominations.

“I think it did get a little music nomination.”

I think so. Let me. I was looking at it. Oh, Brian Bragg had a best supporting actor. So the challenge as Chris pointed out.

I'm wrong. So the challenge here is that there are only nine movies eligible for blockbuster. So there will probably be a run on that category. Yeah. There are a lot of sequels, but I would not describe too many of them as beloved for

heads. So you had to go and do your research on that one. I assume you guys did. Yeah. You knew the comedy was coming.

You feel good about. I knew comedy was coming sequel. I realized I would say today's Wednesday, so Monday afternoon. Okay. But with enough time, so I budgeted some things out.

We'll see. The comedy thing actually helps a little bit here. Loosen me up. Okay. Good.

This might be the best lineup of comedies ever in the history of movie drafts in my opinion. There is. I think it's 20 movies deep, movies that have held up. Yeah. Um, I think that's it, Jack.

Are you ready to film a new hit? Funny farm. So that's not even one here. Not on my board. Yeah.

Not on my board. Yeah. Yeah. Hate's funny farm. It's one of the weirdest Sean opinion.

When did we talk about this? I don't know. I came up with a scene. You were like dismissive. Yeah.

And you were met. Pulling the full Sean on. Yeah. The demo is bad. No.

I don't think it's not funny. I'm sorry. You're beloved George Roy Hills. Wasn't there a guy who said, let's go.

“That's the artist Chris Evans movie had a tribute to a funny farm that was cut out.”

Remember that story that? Ghosted. Yeah. That's reflected was like, I had a whole opening. That was a tribute.

That was a tribute. That's a funny farm. That's very weird. Did you see Ghosted? Yeah.

I can't recommend it. Okay. Let's see the draft order. Jack Sanders. Very briefly.

One thing we didn't mention. This year is also infamously known as one of the worst Academy Awards of all time with Rob Lo and Snow White doing the opening number. Oh. Great.

And I was recently reading Michael Shoman's Oscar Wars. And he talks at great length about how both the Academy felt the industry was stale and the award show is stale. That's why they hired Alan Carr. That's why they took a big swing.

They fell on their face. And it was embarrassing. But I feel like it definitely was a turning point. Yeah. They did such a great job the next year.

But I'm giving the best Oscar to driving this Daisy. Yes.

Does anybody want the first pick?

Yes. Oh. Okay. No. We got it.

Wow. Manifesting it. See y'all. Okay. So the month goes on.

This will be your final appearance on this show. That's your month. Drafting second. Bill Simmons. Okay.

Guess first. I guess. Very good. Such kindness from Jack Sanders. Third will be Sean.

You're fine. I'm going to stop. I'm going to stop. You'll be fine. You'll be fine.

You're going to get what you need. I think so. If everyone, you know, did you come to your heart? Or did you come to be a, you know, a spreadsheet man? How many in the history of your career as a podcast?

Yes. How many times have you come to an episode with love in your heart? I don't know. I think so. Marriage story.

Yeah. Good episode. And I think, I don't know. What's the other one where we started crying? Children in men.

That was a surprise. You were just like, what if something bad happens to me? It should children. But that's too. To answer your question.

Okay. And I did give you one battle after another in movie draft once. That was good. That was good. That was nice.

There we go. I was excited for CR to just get weird with this entire draft. And just to last temptation. Mrs. Sippy burning. I know.

I'm so fascinated to hear that. Really.

I have we learned also that you should always take the thing close to your heart.

“That's what I've learned, but, you know, this, you could also do, what did he pick?”

In New York, die heard DHV. DH with a V. DH with a V. Yeah. You can listen.

DH with a V. Ironman 3. Live your truth, buddy. So you said there was one movie. You think all of us really want.

There is a movie that I associate with each of you. Each person has a movie. Yeah. I can't wait to talk about that. I can't wait to talk to you about that.

I don't tourist. Sound of my board. Okay. That was a second time Big Bill hurts come up today. Madam, my board.

No. I would like to talk about Bill hurt. Sure. Who I choose to end of the run right here. Yeah.

I've never gotten it. I just, I don't. Not even in broadcast news. I mean, he's playing. He's well suited for that character.

You know why you don't get everything in front of him? You know why you don't get it. Tell me. So it's easier back then. Nobody had a cusher existence in us.

Zaxas. That was probably like wrong there. I'm doing big show over here. That's what Zaxas said. He's tall.

Well, we were talking about body heat. Which obviously is still really good. But even there, I'm kind of like, you're kind of just like a sack of a man who doesn't know what to do with all this sweat.

And I, and Zaxas said, well, because you've never been a ball player person.

Anyway, I won't be choosing. Zaxas is not my passion pick. Not a great one. Weird. Weird Oscar.

That was good. I mean, he was, he seemed like a complicated guy. And had, you know, some ugly stuff about him. What do you think? He's a great actor.

Love bill hard. And a violence. That's a great. Remember that scene at the end? Yeah.

Yeah. I know. Until the end of the world, these blinds. Yeah. I'm going to take die hard and blockbuster.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. She is Louise. I had me worried for a second.

Really for a long time. The thing was the coolest person that I'd ever been born. The funniest guy. The guy who could bring down a ring of, of German terrorists. And now you think it's Chris Long.

They steal our bear bonds. Bear bonds apparently. Bill, I don't know. You're doing research. But I've been told reliably that bear bonds have, are way over represented in high

movies. And that they're actually not a very popular way of transfer. I did that on their mail bag. Did you? Well, I did have a different version of what you did decide about that.

I got a DM about it. Yeah. Maybe this guy was just hitting us from all angles. But anyway, I had type error about it. I'm taking, I'm taking die hard.

This was, I did see this in movie theaters. And this was like my, my identity for the year 1988. Aside from being a passionate Dukakis poster. [laughs] Well, one of those didn't really work out very well.

The other worked out great. Yeah. Do you trade, if you could have a Michael Dukakis presidency,

“would you, would you trade it for die hard ever if having existed?”

I was six. So what does that mean?

I'm not really sure, ultimately.

Like, wouldn't we gain or lose during HW when you went away in? [laughs] Bill could be flying back to the Michael Dukakis airport. Boston. Yeah.

You know? Good point. Oh, it's like that guy. [laughs] H-dubs?

[laughs] The guy, the Drake. The Duke. Yeah. Oh, the Duke.

The Massachusetts guy, yeah. H-W, you know. Yeah, I got pumped. Mondro. And then that was his V&P.

Who was it Mondale? Mondale, yeah. Yeah. No. Mondale for RRO was 84, right?

It was... Oh, stockdale. Yes. Admiral Stockdale? Yeah.

You guys learned it was a stockdale who ran with Dukakis? Yeah. Yeah. And he was a stiff. Yeah.

Was 88 your first presidential election that he voted in?

I could have voted. I don't think I'd be. [laughs] Wait, you didn't vote for the Massachusetts guy. I don't think I'd be.

I think I'd be.

“I think I was probably seeing one of these people.”

Jesus. Yeah. I might have voted. I don't remember. That's okay.

92, I was all in on my guy, Baba. Okay. I was also in. Yeah. He liked McDonald's and the Jackson Farm.

I identified him early in '91. I'm like this guy. I think if I... I think I'll vote. Just think.

Yeah. I'm not even going to admit that. People being really honest. I think I forgot to vote for Carrie. And I realized it.

Like, I was just like, everybody was like, did you vote? No, it was like... Yeah. [laughs] And was that in Florida you were living at the time or?

I got here in New York. Okay. Yeah. A lot of stuff going on. Okay.

It's a joke around. You're busy. Yeah. You're busy. You're busy.

You're busy. You're busy. You're busy. You're busy. I'm busy.

I did. I didn't want to clean. What about him? Kind of annoying. I would be annoyed if you were my husband.

That was when I thought of my real life. He's trying to save you the whole time. He does save me. But it's just like, you know, you've got to support my career and my career mobility. Also, it's Christmas Eve.

Where is their child? Why is he still in the middle? Yeah. That's fine. It's not a Christmas movie.

It's a divorce movie.

“And I think that Bonnie Medelia had some points.”

Should we have had it in divorce month? I think you're possibly really trolling him with by changing to general. On the... Let's do this change. We're talking about family.

Okay. To divorce month. It wasn't divorce month. It was fucked up family. Yeah.

Well, I just... You know. Good point. I just agree. I just agree.

So I know how it turns out. First of all, yes. They reunited. I understand. Second of all, that was wonderful child care that the McLean family had.

Yes. Christmas Eve. Also, who was throwing an office party on whatever? The Maca told me corporation. It's really...

It's really good. I'm going to keep this drive all the time to go for it. All right. I'm going to take a... I'm going to take Rain Man in the Oscar nominee.

Okay. I'm going to go to the vacinating. Okay. I don't love the Oscar nominee category. Okay.

This checks a lot of boxes. This was an awesome movie. I think it was incredibly impactful. Maybe the first movie I think of when I think of 1988.

Our guide Dusty.

He got a... got a trophy.

He did. Bear Levinson. What was like this work? This is probably the most successful thing he did. Is that fair?

Well, I think without a question. His biggest movie. But it was really for Cruz. This was the Tom Cruise is now here in my life. For the next 30 years movie.

Right? Yeah. Top Gun. It's like, "All right, cocky guy." I'm like, "This is good."

Like, "What else do you got for us Tom Cruise?" And then this... The Charlie Babik character becomes Tom Cruise for the next eight years. Yeah, basically.

He's just playing this over and over again. It's a really good... It's a good date movie. Mm-hmm. It's a good watch with the family movie.

When he tilts his head and they touch heads and if you don't get choked up on that, you don't have a heart, even Sean gets choked up. I like Rain Man. The music's great, and the Vegas scene is an all-timer.

And it became one of those cultural things that

when you went to Vegas and saw the escalators who thought of it, it's become running. There's a bunch of jokes that came out of this walkner. We got cultural stuff out of this. And it's just a home run movie.

“I think it's a legitimately great cruise performance.”

We talked about it when we did it on the pod. But we were saying he should have movie together. He's the one part. Yeah, much harder part. What's his job in Rain Man?

He's like a car sales car. He sells high-end cars. Right? Like really nice sports cars. It's also a good, like... Fair about 20 minutes becomes an awesome L.A. movie.

Yeah. He's living in somewhere in the hills somewhere. But yeah, I love this stuff. Is it an Italian lady? I can't remember her name.

Is Valeria Galino? Yeah. Valeria Galino. Yeah. Who, one of the many Benicio del Toro, girlfriend.

Oh, great. Excellent. Very interesting man. Back at. Yeah.

All right. So that's my Oscar pick. So that's off the board. I don't have to worry about that category now. You don't.

That also is the highest grossing movie of the year. Yeah. So that takes. So that we've lost two of the nine. Box office grocers.

Um. Sheesh. Yeah. It's part of my plan. I think it's a good plan.

Um. I'm going to.

“I'm not going to stick it to you, but I am going to make a strategic move.”

Oh, boy. Don't do it. Don't do it. No, I'm not going to. I'm not going to do it.

You know what? I'm just doing it. If you're going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it. But you advocate. You like seeing it. You like seeing it in the wild. What happens?

Yeah. I like to get my rocks off by watching other people. When Rob Mahoney comes in this house. Yeah. You take something from Amanda.

I like it. I enjoy it. I give it a heart. I favorite. I send it up to the cloud.

Yeah. I said, thank you. Added to your story. That's not what I do. So what are you going to be thinking?

I'm going to take big. And I'm going to take it in blockbuster. Everybody's. No. We're all friends.

That's fine. That's good. I mean, I was actually going to do that with one of my kids. I assumed to be on the terrace. It's a smart.

So I love it. Who doesn't like it? Who doesn't like it? It's great. It's a great film.

Really sincere. What do you mean? You guys just like. I don't know. Don't let Louise in.

You're like, right. It's a second. Let's see what's in it. Oh. I think big is like it's a shocking.

The big works on paper. Big is sounds terrible. And it's totally Tom Hanks who carries the movie on his shoulders. The entire time. It makes you truly believe that he is a 10 year old boy.

And it was probably a movie. Probably one of the first grown up movies that I ever saw. Because it was on cable non stop one year after it came out. Almost certainly the first time I saw Hanks. And in easy movie for a then seven or eight year old to get really into and learn about the world of being an adult.

And Jeff Chow is just showing us that his family is in New York today and that they were at F.A.O. Shorts. And dancing on the keys. You know, and it's like that is something in the culture that still exists. And you're going to rob it low. I just watched him with the scene where Josh is like,

"Well, this, this robot doesn't do anything it just turns into a pill." He's like, "Just say more, Josh. What do you got for me?" All these suits.

If he hates John Hurts so much in the movie, it's incredible.

“I think there's a beautiful movie and very funny and very sincere.”

And also quite weird. It's like he transforms into an adult because of an exaltar. It's just very strange, but I love it. So that's my pick for Blockbuster. It's a classic.

It's a timeless movie. And it's a movie that as soon as how old you're all this kid? Four. So I can I start to see a little bit. It could be like about.

No, but you may be like maybe age six. You can actually watch that movie with your kids and feel good about it. Yeah, but I just met a mapping him being. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What do I do now? What do I do with Elizabeth McGomer? I don't know.

I would say it's in the running for best parent kid movie.

Like for her. I just watch with kids. Oh nice. It's way up there. Okay.

“And I think it's really timeless and there's an incredible amount of comedy in it.”

That's developed over the years. Very funny. With. She's like calming, calming in five years. Whatever.

She's like he gets like super creepy there. Okay, that's really funny on the rewatches. Great movie. And she, I don't think she ever dated again. That woman.

Yeah. I don't think he bounced back. You know, years and years of therapy. You still don't really come back from that one. But do you think she was that like the love of her life?

Like she held a candle for 35 year old Josh? I think that part of that. Uh-huh. And then I think it's in my bad person. Yeah.

What did that say about me? And then it's all of her friends being like. So wait, what happened? Yeah. And I just think it's like taking into the Zoltar machine.

You know, you try it. Yeah. It's crazy. She shows up at a high school graduation. And they have to score her out.

I think it goes really bad. Yeah. Okay. I think it goes dark. Okay.

That's unfortunate. All right. We know what a man is going to take. Yes. I have two picks.

The first. In comedy. I will take. Uh, my passion pick working girl. Directed by Mike Nichols, starring Melving Griffith, Harrison Ford.

Sir Grony Weaver, Joan Kusack. Uh, Bill and I got to do a whole rewatchals about this, which was one of the great days of my professional life. Yep. This is probably top five rom-coms for me. All the time.

I think so. Okay. You know, the list changes. It's a living document. Um, much like myself.

And it's also not a traditional romantic comedy in the sense that it's as much about her professional, uh, pursuits as it is about Harrison Ford. And it does the nice thing where it's number one, the hottest Harrison Ford has ever been. And number two, he just shows up to be like a charming hunk of meat. And I really like it when people as famous as Harrison Ford men specifically just show up to, you know,

be shirtless in the one seed changing their shirt in the office.

Uh, just an amazing movie.

And uh, I'm not going to sing the Carly Simon song, but, you know, one of the great credit. It just isn't great Oscar wins. Really really important stuff. So I have another one. And this is where another pick.

I was going to do big in box office. I probably should strategically. Do box office because that is getting thin. And. Okay.

So I will do coming to America in box office. Uh, which is, you know, also eligible in comedy. And I think maybe an Oscar nominee. It is. Below the line.

So I needed to get off the board. Yeah.

“So I think that I didn't see coming to America in theaters in 1988.”

I was too small. But I think I just saw all the Eddie Murphy movies. Like in a in a month stretch when I was maybe 10 or 11 or something. I just sat down one weekend or one month. And was like, Oh, this is Eddie Murphy.

This is what I, you know, have been hearing about. Yeah. Um, or you know, like seeing and like not commercials, but just kind of pop culture.

Like he was a figure, but I'd never seen any of the stuff.

Um, he's very funny. I mean, this movie is very funny. I think. You're not going to agree with this, but I think his best movie. And for me, obviously, it's, it's a take his corners back movie.

Yeah. After golden shot, which was kind of a mess. I still like it because it was Eddie Murphy, but kind of he kind of needed this one. Yeah. And it was like, this is going to be a big movie.

Nobody knew who our standing was. Um, he had an accent. There were a lot of red flags. And then it ended up being. Yeah.

And it's got like five or six. Just cry out loud. Yeah. It's like, yeah. And I think the movie still has likes.

Yeah. I think it's. I rewatched it before coming to America, too, which is not as funny. Yeah. We don't acknowledge coming in America.

But it is still really funny. And I had the experience prepping for this. Some other comedies that I rewatched. And I remember like weeping laughing. And I just, I didn't laugh once.

So not all comedy ages as we've learned. Not in the like, you know, politically correct sense, but just in the doesn't make you laugh. Mm-hmm. Very gentle. Yeah.

And like a gentle, just happy hang. Yes. There's something about the innocence of the prince and everything in Zemunda is so funny. Yeah. So specific.

Yeah. It's like, it's like kind of a miraculous movie. Like, for you, I know 48 hours is one of your faves in Beverly Hills cop. Like yeah. Where does this one sit?

“I think cops is best probably his best like performance in a movie because he just cares.”

Yeah. Trading places. I still feel like his is best movie. That's the funniest thing.

Mm-hmm. Because it just just keeps going. And the 48 hours is like the punk rock debut where you're like, "I can't be this is happening." Watch this. Fuck yes, here.

And then another 48 hours is maybe like they're like, "Hey, he can still play guitar." Well, the other thing John Amos being in this movie was a big deal in 1988. Like there's stuff that hasn't held up. Mm-hmm. She was the dad from good time.

So I was a huge, huge show. And it was like, "Hey, it's John. Like, it just, they felt like they stacked the deck a little bit with how they did it." And it was completely satisfying. I was worried that they might eff it up.

They did not.

“I think, I think we watched, in my like neighbor, we watched, we would just get the tape and watch”

the barbershop scene over and over and over and over again. That's the other thing.

And that was the first time he really did that in a movie.

Yeah. The multiple characters. Yeah. We didn't, it's not like we had like a ton of info about these movies. So it was like, "Isn't that, wasn't Eddie?"

And that's like in every, like, we just, you didn't know in the same way. He talked about it in the Netflix doc that he did. Yeah, that he did where he was like, he would just show up on set and just trick people. Like, they just didn't even know. And like, when's Eddie arriving?

And he was like, "I don't know where he is." Right. Okay. Big pick for you. Yeah.

I mean, look, obviously I really want to take it from Roger Rabbit, but I don't really feel like you guys give a shit about it. So it doesn't really make it ton of sense. But that's the thing is that, like, I will absolutely spite pick it if you don't take it. Would you really?

Yeah. It's funny. Why would you know? He's gonna, don't, don't. He might take it.

My tape is for later. Fuck, kill me here. That's not very nice. I invite you here. I invite you to my house.

No, I'm not going to take it next. There's two huge, huge movies for me this year. Yeah. And I haven't taken them either one of them yet. And I'll, I will just take who frame Roger Rabbit and I'll risk it because it feels like

the most emotionally correct thing for me to do. Good. That's beautiful. Yeah. And if you don't make it any further, that's so good to me too.

I heard that. So what texted me was like, you're not listening to the mailback. They were rewatchable. So I was like, why? And they're like, well, some notes for you in there.

Oh, this all had a love. Yeah, sure. Sure. It was great. Hoover and Rod drive.

It saw it in 1988. Cooked my noodle. Just changed my absolute brain for what I thought a movie could be and what it should be. I didn't know any of the reference points to 40's detective movies. I didn't really understand the idea of blending these two worlds.

I knew everything about all the cartoon characters in the movies.

Certainly, I never seen Bob Hoskins before.

I think Bill's point about Jessica Rabbit is probably true that she imprinted on me. A cartoon babe. No question here. Yeah.

“And that's how I felt about all of Charlie's angels and this and the buying equipment.”

That stuff is real. And then the concert was for actual human beings and other drawings. I guess mine was Patrick Spazy and Dirty Dancing and Ghost. We both got something interesting is here. Same for me.

Yeah. And you know who from Rod drive like an insane technical achievement nominated for six Academy Awards. If one a bunch of Oscars, it was a huge hit. It would have been the biggest hit of the year. Framed men didn't win best picture.

It's a mechus in the absolute center of his greatness. Like right after back back to the future movies. And it is a little bit of a cynical thing where it was like, what if we put Donald Duck and Daffy Duck and a movie together. But the movie doesn't feel that way.

It feels like pretty sharp in the smart. It's kind of like a soft Chinatown remake. It's just we talked about Ellie confidential on the rewatchables coming up next week. There's a lot in common with it there. When you go back to the actual like serious adult movies.

I like there's a lot of moving Roger Rabbit stuff that probably was seated. Um, originally there. So. What category Sean? Let's do it. In Oscar nominee.

Hmm. Hmm. Interesting. Okay. Well, CR thought he might get one of these two movies coming down the pike.

And I have two words for you. Shut the fuck up because I'm taking midnight run. Yeah as a comedy. That was taken off the board. That was a direct. It had to be on my team.

Sure. I mean, I that this is what I was worried about.

Yeah, because I was going to have to take it first or I wasn't going to get it.

Um, yeah. I'm surprised at last at this long. Given the. I'm excited and delighted. It's probably going to cost me at least two other movies I really like.

But this is my favorite dinner movie and performance ever. Um, this movie was an absolute delight in the theater. It crushed. It's like among the hardest I've seen people laugh in a theater.

“Uh, it holds up iconic road in more lines than I think any adult comedy ever.”

Just every scene has lines. Uh, it's still hilarious. A couple emotional scenes go see the wife. Yeah.

It brings the Duke back to his car. Make sure he doesn't close the money. Yeah. The money belt. It's just the the soundtrack's great.

There's stuff I pulled out of it for my own life. It's like I've come too far. Come to fucking far. I just I just love this movie. One of the great Joey pants rolls.

This is all these back. I better go get some donuts. That guy.

“And I think it's it's weird because die hard is like starts this whole genre, right?”

That people just sort of. And I think midnight run is probably the movie. People have tried to make and fail. They're the most. They fail every time.

I don't think anyone's ever really likes guys about how hard it is to do something. Yeah. The nice guys is probably one of the ones that got the closest. But like how do we just have like smart, funny, good structure, great lines back and forth. Like genuinely funny stuff and everybody fucks it up.

Two lovable characters who just mother fuck each other for an hour and 58 minutes. And then like looking each other in the eye and like I love you at the end. It is just like a perfect recipe. D'Aneros so good in this movie. He's so nice.

Yeah. He's like when he's sitting in the bus and he's like why do he's killing him on the smoking. And he's just killing him with D'Aneros. Like I just can't. Like you're just a little life leaving his body.

Why are you popular with the Chicago police part? And he's just like fucking killing him. It's great. I realized I'm old because when I rewatched part of it for this. I was like oh, D'Aneros looks really good in this.

And that's still like I know that's because now I'm in the image bracket. And I'm just like wow D'Aneros still good. I was just like watching a basketball player play football or something. It doesn't make sense that he's this good at commenting. He's doing this.

He's like a tonics totally changed his career. Yeah. He totally opened up a whole new lane of movie that he could be. And he spent more time making those movies in the last 25 years. Yeah.

“He did make in the movies he got known for.”

So that was part of the fun was going to the theater and be like D'Aneros. And this seems like it's like a comedy really. D'Aneros at it. And then he was great. This movie is great.

Do you on the 4K? Of course. I do. It's great. Did you?

What's happening with the 4K is as you predicted. It's getting out of control. Do you got nuts? Well, it's like. Groves have an 50% offset.

I'm like. Cry to hear that. I saw. I don't even know if I'll ever watch this. But I can't believe that's.

Do we have a 1099? It's a play salute. It's strategy right now.

It's one giant tower that I'm about to have to get a second one.

Okay. Just for cruising though. I knew that. I have a hundred copies of cruising. It's good.

I hope. I just like the collective. I'm trying to short the market. I'm cruising. So nobody else can have it.

And then they'll all be worth more. Has anything tried to get? How's your collection going? Well, I have that bringing on 4K that you gave me. Yeah.

That's from my birthday. Doesn't have 4K players. I'm. No, you're right. I don't.

I just have a blue right. It's weird. Really not to. Not to just cater to Sean here. Okay.

With the 70s and 80s movies, it really does make a difference. It does. It does. It's a surprise. Like I think with more modern movies,

maybe not as much. But when you're going back, like when we did to live in that LA, like what it did to that movie, where I could was able to see William Peterson's Genitalia. Yeah, that was exciting.

Yeah.

It was like I just was never able to really see it.

That's what the preservation matters. Yeah. Yeah. For don't show. Yeah.

For hanging dog. This is the angle. The two decades mean. Yeah. You want to look in it.

Yeah. Because those 70s, 80s, movies, a lot of times they're film dark. I mean, you could only watch to live in diandla and pan and scan on TV for years. There was no other way to see it. It's such an important point.

So yeah. I'm serious. You see it's intense. You got to fix your butt. It's really.

I know what I'm going to pick. It's just about categories.

“Have you taken a mortal wound by losing midnight run?”

It's more of a heart shot. You know. Okay. You will live. But I'm going to live.

You'll be like dark man. I thought you're going to take it first. That was. That was in my head. I thought that was his passion project.

If you're still a mystery, we know what you're missing. I think he died hard all the way.

I've always been the first pick problem.

And I also am not enamored with our blockbusters. Yeah. Particularly. So in. Comedy.

I'm going to take bulldozer. Okay. Yeah. Which is. One of my most viewed movies.

Most rewatch movies, probably in my life. Happy opening day week to everybody who deserves. Yes. The church-based ball is open. Can we just do just win total predictions for our teams?

Right now. For me now. Amanda also an avid baseball fan. Yeah. A bit of a turn coat.

And a tea ball. Yeah. Tea ball gets dark. Films. So the crime wins.

Okay. Okay. Now are you predicting Braves or Dodgers? I have renounced the Braves. I have said this on the big picture podcast many times.

I have renounced the Braves.

Okay. I live with a Philly's fan. I work with a Met's fan. It's now worth it to me. Okay.

I was there in the 90s. I experienced the glory. And now I am they left. Fullton County. And so did I.

So I say goodbye. As always. Fuck the Braves. Fuck them. Yeah.

Yeah. So you said you're Dodgers fan kind of?

“Uh, I do like I would like to go to Dodgers Stadium this year.”

Um, I would. I, it's fun. I'd like to take my son. I like watching games. But I have, I'm like, I've closed it up to the Philly's.

Thank you. Yeah. So no prediction from you. Yeah. Um, so 89 for the red socks.

Oh, 83. Well, you mentioned an 89. It's a tough division for you. I'm going 91 for the Met's this year. Yeah.

I'm feeling pretty good. Jack is that too high. I think their line is 89 and a half. That seems about right. Is it really?

I think we stopped places now. Well, I'm going to just write down the map. Went over. Yeah. I didn't say that.

My prediction is 89 and a half.

“Do you think that it will be an emotionally stable season for you?”

They never is. Yeah. Where are we right now? Like a just on the on the, like, green. It's beautiful of.

And dreams. Right now. Frushing right now. One bag of this picture. No.

I didn't mean your emotional state. I didn't mess. Well, we got through screen training. Almost no injuries. Give her take a Mike talkman.

We're doing great. All right. Am I wrong? We've, we've swap places. I'm protecting myself.

Just, just, just, just, do you still have a picture last name Dobbins on the red socks? It's traded. That's what he was traded. Yeah.

Sorry. Where did the trade money go?

My first game has been way.

I got a dobbins game. He, he went somewhere in the American League. Who did you go straight for in the offs season? St. Louis Cardinals. See now.

Oh, they got, what's the great off season? You guys got one of our guys. You got Ranger. We got Ranger Swars. Raise your sweras and contraris. It's not not tell my green kids about the offices

Guys Let me just struck out to lose the WBC he did yeah, yeah, I blame Aaron judge and I got give up the win. No, we did you We're talking a big game about how he's nothing Nothing up until that point, but he had he as I've said many times the scariest person in major league baseball is Bryce Harper and in the biggest spot imaginable hit a fucking tank. Yes to tie the game also him like the the whole

Dumbarowski says he's not elite now. He's like I will fucking destroy you is like the best for you. Yeah motivation I don't want to know if we've been on the other one straight. Yeah, even if a wrong meal. He vote over Ducacus He's like Ducacus is still running, right? We both are I'm thought Absolutely not perfect movie that's still plays

It's almost like the second half of it or like the last third of it. I say is a drama with yeah crash wandering around North Carolina Barrooms, but it's so fucking funny when Nuke is on the team and they're on the bus and they're doing yeah doing all the stuff with the the reindylase and talking about the show and really like a very like

Formative like relationship movie where I watched it. I was like is that what adult relationships are like? Yeah, do you eat weedies in a woman's Komodo

How did it shake out? Never happened okay, but I always thought it would be hot if I could do that

It's not too late. Yeah Important customer move it to where yeah, like what I said earlier about some people like cementing that I'm here now I thought like even though he had other hits. This was the one This is the one where it's like this guy's now one of the biggest artists

“I call it in his boxers. Yeah, that's why this is a ball player, except”

Yeah, it would be an 89 before dance, so it was revenge was around there somewhere You know, but then maybe no way out was eighty seven untouchables That's what it is right James baseball baseball in Oscar that's an insane run nominations nominees I'll take marriage to the mud Dammit, so Dean Stockwell nominated for a best supporting role. He's Tony, right?

God damn it Michelle Fifters fucking throwing 101 in this movie. You mean in 2006 in the Madison All right, yeah, what is the Madison? What are you talking about? Of course. I'm watching I don't understand all the all five for content. What is is the Madison like a boutique hotel? No, it's a ranch like what is it? No, she moves to Montana. Yeah, Idaho. Montana. Uh, Idaho. I think Idaho

Oh Madison County. She's in the house of man the bridges of there's a family tragedy Amanda you love it. She just has she just is sad and drinking like like the biggest glasses of one I do like that with her mean daughter. I'm mixed That poor is really good Yeah, well, you know me and the American West like when I went to Montana

I was a little freaked out. She is too. She is too. I don't know where she goes back to New York She's like, this isn't my home anymore. Oh, it's a home run. Okay. It's okay. You don't have to totally watch it as you're watching

No, I mean, I know what happens. I mean

“So I don't love this movie. Let's make the case for it. Um, I think it's just got that”

Incredible screwball like almost classic screwball sensibility that still is updated for like a modern Modern times. What don't you like about it? I don't either way. I just haven't seen it in a while Do you feel like it's kind of like my blue heaven where it's like people pretending to be gangsters But you liked watching real gangster movies. Yeah, because that's sometimes is a feeling people have about You know, if it's not like a real like good film is like mafia movie. It's not that fun. Yeah. It's fine

I always support my lady Michelle. I it gets to a lot of things before good fellows

There are a lot of aspects of this movie that it kind of kind of pre pre seeds in a pretty specific way One of the great long island movies really one of the best representations first 45 minutes I'll take place in Long Island and just like the kind of suburban paradise So so funny and very charming and handsome at that stage of his career, but like just there's a there was always one family We're like what is that guy's dad do? Yeah, he's construction. Yeah, and he's really slick

He's wearing a suit. Why is he wearing a black suit on a Wednesday? He doesn't go to an office And the movie is just bang on about that and it's really funny when she moves into the city too

“And she goes to chicken like in and chicken like in by the way brought back in battle after another is a I think it's a great great movie”

I'll revisit he does the run where he basically like does

Something wild this and then silence is such a great and also really it's a three wonderful female Performances best actually silence is the role we need to yeah about it. All so size the lady sorry They're the three yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely cut up Should be a fair person No, only a comedy that you guys will you do your next pick mix was in the funniest character of 1990

He's up there. Okay. He's up there. I'm up now. Yeah, I Mean I can't believe it came back to me cocktail. This is food and arrow huge blackbuster Do you think you convinced the generation of mostly men to love this film like a generation below you did the rewatchables with That's you love it too. That's my point. Yeah, I got I don't know. Okay. I closely like I to me This is the most this is a top five bill movie. Yeah. Yeah, I would know you want another other four

Limitless number two class Double worst product now you and me and then what else do you write everyone's movie though? Yeah, no, it's true You don't have enough bad action in this list bad action. Yeah, like you got to go and the dip into the cigar Alps the lone area for you might be able to do that on the highest either Yeah

Yeah, I'm trying to think no This is the one good stick all movie in my opinion. So what are my favorite things in any movie is

When somebody treats the movie like this is the most important movie of their life, but it's a movie like cocktail

Cruz is all in we talked about this when we did the rewatchables about it. He's completely committed He's treated this like he's doing as much as I with Kubrick and London for three years. Yeah He learns how to flip bottles. He looks at a shoot. He gets yeah every scene. He's he's just full-tilt He's crying. He's he's just doing prat falls He's trying to be sexy crews

“He's playing all the hits. It's like watch. I said when we did the pot. I think”

It's like watching an NBA player an NBA star and a bad team just carry them Yeah, to like 48 wins just literally by himself this movie should not have worked. It's a great hang It's on still on the streamers all the time. I feel like it hasn't died at all It's got a great Elizabeth shoe Brian Brown with the cognizal all Kelly Lynch's in it

It's you get to go to Jamaica just randomly capture the movie for 20 minutes. That's really fun The showdown at the beginning in the big bar with the overhead shots Whether they're doing the competition and this is a sports movie. This is like we're watching Yeah, who's right now? It's crazy. He's able to we I think we talked about this on rewatchables But now that we're back from COVID dude. Is there anybody do

Acrobatic bartending or is it all like I've put you in the mouth of basil more mustache guys. Yeah, this is another movie that they've tried To kind of steal and make again like coyote ugly like boobies like they're like let's Make can't be for and yeah, you can't do it. You can't put us. Yeah, yeah, I mean There's been bartending. There's been fun movies like they even like the roadhouse remake with Jill and Hall They're they try to put like a giant star in a dumb movie basically. It's really hard

Well cut the cruise And this is the first movie of his I think where it feels like he's taking laughing gas before every

Yeah, but it's very entertaining. I really like it by the way the concept of the MVP for years like this is Cruises MVP season and I have both cruise movies. Okay cruise was the 1988 MVP. It's you true Two huge blockbuster movies Rayman secret force behind an Oscar movie cocktail carries it by himself

“It's a huge star by the end 88. I think see their him or will us, right?”

For MVP. Yeah, I mean, but will this is like kind of come out of nowhere with this? Yeah, cruises like it's it's happening This is like I get ready for two these a year. Yeah for the next ten years. I'm just gonna keep doing this This episode is brought to you by Warby Parker buying glasses can be so tricky I myself even though I'm not wearing them right now.

Please support our show until them are shows sent you Well, my other beloved movie still on the board. It's called Beetlejuice I can't fucking believe this this all everything's coming up me. I almost did it instead of coming to America

Beetlejuice much like coming to America, too. We don't acknowledge Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. We just say the original Beetlejuice is A creative masterpiece Another movie that probably switched me on the horror and I don't know if I would have been as a new it if I didn't see this on cable all the fucking time on HBO just like my previous pic comedy definitely in comedy and

Tim Burton cooking man. I don't you know It's been a rough 25 years for the Tim Burton heads, but from 1985 through 2000 I don't know if there was a director. I was more obsessed with who I was more interested in whatever he was going to do next They weren't all hits they didn't all work, but distanced style

“Someone asked me the other day and I didn't answer this question appropriately. I probably should have they were like when's the first time you're watching a movie?”

You realized what a director was and what they did if you look at a Tim Burton movie Like only one person could have made this only one person has this sensibility I think the movie is really funny Keaton Absolutely ripping that character going so crazy and like finding a part like that for him after he had had this period in the 80s And he has another movie this year. It's a two-micle Keaton year as well clean and so clean and sober the exact opposite Beetlejuice

It's not bad it's okay, it's okay, but Beetlejuice is like a match made in heaven. The two of them are great together Burton and Keaton and podcast and Catholic crap Catherine O'Harris hilarious and and we're on a rider and Baldwin again Gina Davis two-gene Davis movies this year all the musical stuff all the creature stuff. I fucking love Beetlejuice

Huge huge Kate movie another one like Kanks with big where it was like a lot of people had Keaton stock and it never he'd never been in like a monster hit other than

Mr. Ma, maybe yeah, yeah, I don't know night shit wasn't a big deal Yeah, but he hadn't been like this centerpiece of a huge hit and then this leads to Batman Yes, he's getting Batman because this movie yes Pivotal movie movie. I love is you gotta calm me and calm me. Okay. Yes. I forgot to tell you we did And I remember before Christmas. Oh the other look and like loved it loved it really yeah, which was fast

Not too scary at all no because he woke up and was like I need some spookies in in the middle of March. Anyway Burnable theburntable change. Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna do that in because you took that then I got a It's gonna affect a little bit my next two picks here because I see Christ going right here No, no, I'm going to I definitely know my first pick Which is in drama and it's running on empty

The Sunilamet film starring River Phoenix and Back in the news. Judd Hursham, Kristina. I sure back in the news from After one battle, which was a

“P-taste. I think stated as a major inspiration. I hadn't seen it since I'd seen one battle”

And the parallels are certainly there, but I mean this movie just knocked me out when I watched it last night again And I think the first time I saw it was when we did the Vietnam series with Brian Rafftory Yeah, I know that you were part of the genesis of that idea but this is a movie about two

former Basically whether underground a couple who were in the weather underground or a similar underground army and they are on the run and they're trying to raise their sons

And amazing river Phoenix performance. So it's an amazing double feature with one battle after another

But it is so Pared down compared to one battle after another. Everyone is as they should be in a P-taste movie like

Archetypal and

Ridiculous and very funny and this is you know as much about

Piano lessons and what the little kid what kind of sandwich I'm going to have for lunch and really all the small moments or so observed

“Anyway, amazing movie. I think one of the best movies ever about baby boomers and the like fire and them sing is it fire and rain and the”

Birthday party in their house and they when they know that they need to move locations and really sad But like very simple such a awesome awesome movie great back And then so action horror thriller I would say that the one side that everything is gone but one so

You know Bill has two tarm cruises and I'm going to have two Harrison forts Oh, and I will take frantic walk. Yes a landscape on the board a landscape on the board and I don't really have anything to say about that Besides that this was directed by Robin Planski and that's filmed in Paris because that's where he is allowed to film movies This is

Well, it was that the case or is he just like let's shoot this in Paris? I don't know I believe so I believe he had fully real

“He was like guys we got to do this here. Yeah, it's a Betty buck. Oh, no, it's his it's Planski's”

I don't know if they were married. They were a baby. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah This movie is awesome. This is really great. So good and messed up and like Harrison Ford Being like a little grimeer than he needs to be in the in the role of man who's just trying to find his wife Emmanuel Sanier is just dressed in The smallest dresses I've ever seen in my entire life throughout and she looks awesome

and I wish that they had picked a different hotel. It is a very like 88 hotel It just looks like a hot and airport lobby Okay, but otherwise you're just going through some very weird parts of Paris I feel like he practiced get off my plane with like yeah, I'm looking for my wife like it has a couple of those line readings where he's just very angry Looking for something the hair is an interesting length. He doesn't go back to that. It's sort of left over from

It's longer in mosquito coast to it, right, but it's very sloppy in the front and I prefer it shorter Anyway premise that's been ripped off of that

Yeah, yeah, even with our beloved breakdown sure just what I've taken to this is really sure this is vanishing basically

Yeah, this is what happened to the person I care about yeah, and even the scene where she disappears while he's in the shower Is like is filmed from behind him in the shower and the sound is that it's I mean it's really good It's it's messed up and really good. It's good a Paris. Yeah It's good one good pick. Thank you another pick, right? No, that was it because I did running on empty Oh running on empty. That's right. Oh shoot. Okay

Damn Christ still here. Yeah, I'm my fucker on and take a plastic. If you don't I fuck so don't worry about that You like scarsic. I do like scarsic. Do I want to take it? Yeah, perhaps not in thriller action horror. I'll be taking a live Which is

John Carpenter's portrait of a Society that is enslaved by aliens. Yeah, who are Being sensibly mental messages on a daily basis about Bands in the face of their power but also as a movie about Rauty Rauty pipe or beating the shit out of people

Have one of the longest fights in a alley that's ever been recorded in cinema some of the coolest Keith David shit You'll ever see in your life Piper clutch in a shotgun blowing guys away Similarly a movie that Saw it at the right time of my life was very into Piper as you might imagine as a professional wrestler

We did this as a live rewatchable pretty much at the new hour A screening of this movie at the new Beverly and I would say that for 100 cuts to pay to guys There were a couple of guys there and they were a little too keyed into the Personal politics of this film. Yes. I know I do we work Yeah

A lot of their stuff was at a white plastic bag. Yeah, and they were like And what makes you an expert up here you don't like More than that I did once It's a pretty hard movie. You know, it's themes are like

You're a slave and you know like deal with it. Yeah, um amazing poster the

The shotgun thing for me when we did this list was how many I know I remember saying in the theater

“Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think like how many times did I actually go to the movies? Is that least twice a week? You said so many times. I didn't you?”

What's that you were saying? I've seen I've seen 75 of these things that I can like call you Even in college like we would just go and like a Monday night The same movie theater every time yeah, the one in Worcester But we just you would just do it now

But I don't know if people just like and it's gonna move me. It's not a weekly of now

“This is also like a waste of time for like to remember these movies because I think this is one of my dad”

Is like being like you can just come with me and we would be seeing this stuff at like random weird times But I a lot of these I remember from video Did you guys What did you see together killer clowns from outer space? I remember it peaking with him getting to cut the line at the Batman premiere And I was like my dad is god

For one day That's pretty cool. Yeah, okay That's my pick now. I'll go as back to BS. I have to be strategic care. Unfortunately. Okay. It's the only time I'm gonna do this because Is it the lock me or is it because you need to get that? There's only one sequel. I like out of all the sequels And won't be a surprise in which one it is, but it's Halloween four or some like um or turn

Sorry turn Michael on had the poster and when we finished the studio is the poster that was between us for a while 10 years after the original one my favorite movies of all time Started seeing the ads it was Like the second month that was in college and In my buddy Jeff who we'd we'd love to all the weane were like on the phone like when you go in or we should try to time it the same day

So we could talk about it after it was a little disappointing. I can't lie and then I probably seen it 20 times since maybe more

“We did every one we did we watch most I think it holds up in a lot of ways”

It was a fun rewatchable for it has the incredible incredible scene with them

Oh, that's Halloween too. Yeah, it makes it my home. When they kick it with the comment when yeah Halloween four has some good idea Yeah, but it's it's probably the last solid Halloween until the Halloween H2O which is 10 years after that And it's the only sequel. I like so I had to take it. Sorry Then probably the only one who's good. No, I don't sure. I don't sure the same enthusiasm

Yeah, I have the sequel one is fun just because I don't there's not like any like particularly Masterful sequels. So it's like which ones do you like? There's a couple really cool ones, but I don't I don't know if there's like A crowd please mine's quite bad, but it's okay. It's for me. Okay. That's fine You got one more bill. No, don't do it. You got to do it. All right. So I have blockbuster. I have Oscar

I'm still thinking about using it. I'm not voting for New Caucus. I need action

“I think I might have I just don't remember. Yeah, it's possible. I wasn't like gonna exciting”

You were like taking selfies of the balance. Yeah, yeah, well, because we knew he was gonna lose at that point But that though one of the debates just killed them. Yeah, then the SNL Yeah, remember imitation of the job of it. It was the losing of this guy. Look at this guy. It was over then that happened In drama I'm gonna take last temptation of Christ

All right entirely for Harvey Kytel's Judas. No, this is an incredible snapshot of movie history

Just in terms of the controversy surrounding this film and when you actually see the movie for what it is It's quite breathtaking the music in it is incredible the Vision or take which I think really comes together in the The epilogue or the code of the film where Christ is imagining his life as a normal man and then realizes he's been He's been scammed

It's just unbelievable to foe as fantastic in this. There's just some really weird like bowie is Bowie's in this right a lot of weird people Yes, Barbara Hershey is Mary Magdalene, so there's just amazing thing, but like we're crazy He had was like essentially like on the most wanted list around the making of this film and It's try to get it made for years and couldn't get it off the ground. It kind of side checked his career

To some degree. We're gonna make it in eighty two. He's gonna make it in four and then he made

Call her money, so he could get this made. Yes, yeah incredible soundtrack which I used to listen to Gabriel all the time

Yeah, it was like I put it on in the background of what I'm trying to do work Just really get instrumental Peter Gabriel to put it in his career. Yeah This movie is good. Yeah, it's really be a really interesting rewatchables Zano and then Okay, so I have that drama. It's weird because like when you watch the movie and you think about it being the most controversial film of the 1980s

It seems a little silly You know, it's like it's an alternative reading of the life of a Person who like is a holy person, but it's like a it's a movie. I don't you know Why would this offend the sensibilities so much but it speaks to kind of what the culture was like at that time That it was so comfortable way more religious back then. Yeah, and then for comedy

I'm gonna take naked gun

Oh, I have a comedy right because I bulldozer. I have a bulldozer. I'm gonna take naked gun and throw that in calm in wild card

Because I I saw it so many times. You're also you're just missing action or thriller. Yeah, yeah Holy shit, so

“There was no way really to this this is a movie that I think”

You watch over and over again, and then the jokes become funnier and funnier and funnier Because you're seeing something that's happening in the background because you're seeing the reaction of somebody to blessing the Elson I did you guys do this for rewatchables. I don't think I was on yeah You I don't think you were no, but I hate. Maybe it was Kyle. Oh, it's Kyle. I think yeah, I think it was Kyle It was a Kyle. Yeah, like the man in any case like just a hysterical hysterical regal Palatza. Yeah, I was saying in the theater

I think it's the hardest I've ever seen the theater laugh at any comedy I can remember going to the baseball highlight scene. Yeah, just a couple like people just like killed over laughing and This was like there was a cool point because I think it was like my parents had introduced me to blazing saddles And we watched some comedies, but this is one that felt like it was my my sensibility, but they thought it was funny Because like Roger Rabbit. I think it's referencing a lot of stuff that I was like I don't really get

Some of these 70s TV cop jokes. Yeah, but this is it's still cracking me up so much Yeah, I came few years after airplane so people were used to like these kind of jokes the naked gun thing was very Colty and ladies for like not a lot of people saw the TV series, but people pretended they did and Then the jokes were just the corny as funny as jokes nice beaver Thank you

It's like a million things like that

Yeah, I don't feel like people do that this movie doesn't get made anymore when they make it they fuck it up

“Well, they did make the naked gun last you're I was gonna ask you about that with regard that's why 25 comments”

You were into it. Yeah, I was pretty mixed on it. Oh, okay. I think it was more more more well- liked than we felt about it Yeah, it was I mean, I I chuckled, but it was interesting being even at the screening There were people laughing louder in that screening than in any comedy screening that I've been in you know in the last 10 years Yeah, it did like Solidly not it was not the major hit that they wanted it to be but I was thinking about this the other day because this there's so many crazy great

Committees of this year and we talked about comedies on the rewatchables all the time but One of the things that I think happened is For me as a kid watching movies like this to Chris's point, they kind of like taught me about adult things and made me feel older Whereas now I feel like what we have is a lot of adult references in kids movies that parents acknowledge and

There's been this like shift where instead of young kids trying to go to older adult comedies You have older people going to kid and there's jokes for me inside of this And you don't do to be a two there's a silence of the lambs joke and you're like, well, this is not for any five-year-old on earth I think I was asleep during that part So it's okay mama and it's a big shit if you do some big comedies or just for little kids

Okay, yes, you got two more. I really played this perfectly Sure really excited about it Okay I love this movie. I don't know if you guys realize I love this movie and it might have screwed up your boards But I do love this movie and I'm ever seeing it in the theater. I know and I've seen it a bunch of times since and I watched it recently

And I fucking love it and it's on the rewatchables list at some point It's an absolute banger dangerously. He's on it's not gonna take it for sure Academy of work nominated the ending the last 10 minutes of this movie and going close and everything She does and her getting kissed at at the opera or wherever they are and then she comes home

And she's just taking the makeup off and he finally got her in the end hit the of course die

Malcolm bitch yeah, Malcolm bitch is throwing 135. That's like it's like one of did he get nominated He actually might have actually when close did no Michelle Fyford did My queen Michelle Fyford close and and picture I believe well, Malcolm is didn't get nominated Like that's fucking unbelievable. He's so good in this movie. You have Keanu Reeves beat as like a goofy I guess French guy. I don't even know what like where she's supposed to be

Steering at this, but who'm a two right oh my god, I didn't know where so so the real ones They weren't from Johnny be good. She came in that one throwing 99 with Anthony Michael Hall I really signed on for season tickets with Jennifer eight

“That was later. That was that from the sand. That's what I was doing. Johnny be good on the map and then dangerously asons”

We're all in love with her and uh, you know, this movie got ripped off by cruel intentions Well, my brain got ripped off again this cruel intentions did it better It's not ripped off. It's homage. It's still in the street. Well, that's fine But I like this little cruel intentions. I've rewatched it for this and I was like, yeah, no cruel intentions

Three thousand. Of course. That's just the podcast. You kind of a Stephen Frier's fan too, aren't you?

Yeah, I am. And you know, they've again another movie filmed in Paris in old buildings with costumes and makeup and whatever And I just it's it's way better when it's Ryan Philippe driving to there's some thing I'm sorry. You know, it's I support both. You know, if there's room in my house for each movie It's a little close to the other one. He had the upper east side and come on This movie was a big deal when it came out and I felt like people went to see it and cared about it and talked about it

And it was just cool and it had a lot of people that either were at a good point in their career would eventually it's also like it's pretty You know, Bridgetton obviously is probably among the two or three most popular things on whatever we call TV now And it's like yeah, this is sort of people Humping while wearing costumes is like a very viable It's a pleasure. Yeah. Yeah

I only just buzzed through every season of Bridgetton in about 14 days

“She's like it's all caught up. Yeah, I think so, I think you could say dangerously is on creative that world too”

That whole Bridgetton like I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure that's been horny. Yeah. Yeah, it's up there for sure I'm trying to think of what it comes around. Yeah, you know buried linden there's a little bit of that in there. Yeah It don't go through I do love growing attention This was I mean, I don't feel like get to pick. I'm sorry. I mean, you don't you don't there's grown up Do you like one of your kids more than the other? No

Maybe maybe this is where it goes wrong for Glenn close and Oscars, right? Because she should have yeah This is the one. So who'd she lose to? Gina, no I'll be fostered. Oh, Jodie Foster was great. No moment. Yeah, but it's like this is probably The best shot was was she nominated for fatal attraction Glenn close. I don't think she was. Oh, that's also a mistake

But Well best supporting Actors she was she was so she said in she misses out and then she misses out again for a dangerous liaison Extremely Zones is also her fifth nomination. Yeah, but back of age not getting best supporting Actors a fucking our age Really, I'm looking at it now. Just getting it. Does he have any

Marcella and Tucker the man in his dream get the fuck out of here. Obviously could move it. Come on. Well, Alachina's for a little door

It's pretty little door. Do you have a little door? Not 4K. Yeah, you've never seen it

“But take us why you when you get mad about things like this? Why are you mad at me like when I'm mad at you?”

I know I get mad at at the Oscars and have stupid. It was you know Isn't that is I just think they did so many dump. I do like that Dean Stockholm nomination though. Yeah, that was a pretty cool one And I've River Phoenix getting nominated was and that was great. That was good Yeah, weird Oscars Knock of it's got nominated for places in the heart in the in the line of fire

Did it went yeah, I actually thought What's the movie with the killing fields? Yeah, I thought he was awesome in that movie confronts what's the same water stand in the bathroom? I Just remember I saw the movie. The movie is it's been a long time. I did watch What's the spalding gray movie where he talks about his experience making the killing fields is swimming to Cambodia

Yeah, which the John of the Nemi movie, which he probably made right before he made Mary to the mob

“What was the other one that I just rewatched that I wanted to tell you about it was so good in that era?”

Yeah, oh Empire of the Sun Malcolm. It's just so good Awesome in that and cry just rewatching Good good topic of like was his career like should he just have been a more famous actor basically He also had a better actor but his reputation is gold

But that's like an icon even though he was never a box office. He's one of the original step-in-all with people

And then he has being John Malkovich like you know about him. He it's it's coming back this year Though cuz the new Martin McDonald movie he's the star with Sam Rockwell, and I feel like for the first time in a long time He's gonna be the star of a mainstream American movie. He won an Oscar. That's a long standing-up He was also a little bit like a good man. Pete Bergs, mile 22. Is that a fact yeah, what's he who give better for him? It's him around arousy in that film

Good, I'd have to check the tape So More to go here in films of that year is me. Yeah, okay. I got drama sequel and wild card left and In drama I'm I'm staying baseball. I'm going to even out John sales is

wonderfully Embittered portrait of the black sock scandal that I just revisited this week. I'm really glad I did starring our guy David straight there in as Ed C. Cut and D.B. Swenie as Shueless Joe Jackson John A few sack as what's Q-Sax characters name Eddie? No, not Eddie. Oh, I'll keep a fuck. Weaver. Oh, but weaver. Yeah, right there

He's the most interesting character in the movie and he was like the biggest star at the time and he's the one who didn't cheat Yeah, but who didn't squeal and so he suffered the same fate and I was reading about him after seeing the movie and he You know, weaver's family for years tried to get his name cleared and the scandal and I don't think I totally Realized this been in 2021 his name was finally cleared by baseball and he was restored to good standing in the history of baseball And his family was like not good enough. This was too late

Never just mad about it, which I found to be so interesting, but yeah sales is movie is so good all his movies are about labor and power and who controls people

And this is an example of like the ball players kind of the first player in power in mid-movie and doesn't turn out so well for the people who try to get power in that case, but uh Pretty good Representation of baseball at that time. I feel like most of the guys the actors are pretty like Michael Rooker, you know like they're all pretty believable As 1910's ball players

But that's only like a small part of the movie a lot of the movie is courtroom drama and character drama, but really really grateful What a crazy cast? I'm see thing inside I was saving it because I thought I'll get it

“I didn't think I didn't even have that one. This is a weird drama. I think the danger is not spot”

I took this in another draft. I can't remember what this movie is awesome. What it would have been Chicago draft Chicago draft. The ending's great. Fuck a DB swinging plane and some minor league and jersey and buckwheatvers Sitting in a camping baseball just sitting who's like that's best center for the rehearsal. Yeah

Never like is that joke. He's like like that's not him unbelievable. I love that ending

I like the hats and the outfits. Oh, yeah This has been on the rewatchables list for like two years. We said who plays commiskey clicked in James was his name. I don't remember the actor's name. I love the scene when they introduce Kenos on Mountlandis Justin James and it like make him the yeah the commissioner of baseball and he they're like He's like like two-year contract and he's like lifetime contract

One of the things about the right one of the things about this movie is uh This was one of the great sports books ever And in the 80s it was considered like one of the basically one of the 10 best so when they made the movie about it was a big deal It was like oh, they're but he tried to do this kind of had the problem coming out in the shadow of Bolteron where it was like Yeah, Bolteron's a lot more fun. On 19 19 and it's about a scandal and but Q sack being in it was a big deal

I didn't know anyone else was Straight there and was like I didn't know who that was he was really great in this Yeah, but to me that's a real like not nominated for an Oscar not even acknowledge

“I think he might have gotten he's been nominated for like five independent spirit awards all for John sales movies”

He might have won for this or maybe it was the movie before this but did you say the center field or was Who was the center fielder? Cheshene. Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right. Really believable like all the actors They made a big deal about like we only have actors who are good baseball players and you can kind of feel it in the baseball Saints the actors are they're all seem like they're trying to only have to throw like 41 miles per hour Right guys. Yeah, well, that's kind of the point to is he like he's throw like 382 in

It's a really good movie. Okay, so Amanda has her last two. No, I have three less

I have Oscar nominee sequel and wild card the trick of the seven you don't always do some

Yeah, so I know what I'm gonna do here in Oscar nominee Been it take my first pick women on the verge of an arrest breakdown which is the almodo bar film and I I think it was Many people's first almodo bar film and certainly mine but not in 1988 and I was trying to remember

“I think I might have been shown this like in a classroom, but I can't remember having a teacher cool enough to be like here”

Sit down and watch this it was the US breakthrough for him for sure. Yeah, but anyway, I this to me Was like a real Who framed just grab a survey like oh movies can movies can look like this obviously the color and even the the actors are all so beautiful But they have interesting non-Hollywood faces and they're framed in a certain way in the sense of humor But I guess you know film as like actual museum art piece in addition to being really funny. So it's always stuck with me also

The clothes are just out of sight. They're very they're very new Chanel actually, but um it won right it won No, I didn't win what one international was a palay the conquer. Yes, sheesh Kind of a loaded international feature year this year to Lombombay here and I here When I heard first films her her son is now the Max guy. Yeah, yeah, right yeah I'm gonna see you down for palay the conquer. Yeah, yeah, didn't get nominated as the good-not-say-in-victory though

He did not he did not he did not stood up for palay. What are we gonna do the seventh seal on the rewatchables? We think we'll do that. Yeah. Oh, see are seven seal and Jacob's lighter double-feet

I would mean to move you makes been comfortable and unhappy very effective. Yeah, Adrienne line seven. Yeah, it's Demi and she she's movie Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah

“Is it see I didn't movie did not do that well. She's good right. Yeah. Yeah, it's too good. Let's hang in there. Oh, and let's see you got to love your kids”

Okay, I'm gonna go to a wild card Okay, just in case someone who gets well up to do wild card before me takes This film, which is crossing the Lansing yeah the Joan McClens silver movie It's just it's really a romantic comedy set in New York in the late 1980s and and is about A professional-ish woman. Mm-hmm. She works in books. It's you know, it's one of these movies that I

That illustrated what I thought New York was gonna be like when I moved there, which is that I you know I would work in books and have you know affairs with the evil doctor from the fugitive Yes, and imagine putting your sneakers on and putting your heels in your bad. I mean, that's also working girl Sure, yeah, this is that this is then more you know, she's less ambitious in crossing the land Sure, then

Tess is and working girl, but it's the same two girls trying to make it work and and find love with Enterprising businessmen in this case

Ultimately a pickle guy. Yeah, I really really very understanding pickle man

He's kind of the inverse of John McClens, you know, he was about 25, 27 years early on pickles Sure, but they came back. I know I mean like I like them, but they're not a part of my personality. You know is it in the movie

“You have to excuse my friend Richard Kimbo”

Jerome Crass very sick. He's like a dashing author who is poppin out of her life I love that you switch the samples Pre-pre-preversic, can we just do a table reading a huge name Like how many people All right, which the samples very close to

You talk to headstones, but you didn't move the bodies my other favorite line reading from that time. You move the headstones But you didn't move the bodies cranky Nelson. Oh, yeah, you're guys Do you know that oh, your life meetings were you just yelling? It's just my dad yelling at me But I'm watching a movie that they knew it's ruffle out through. Yeah, I love a new actor That's why I love CR's impressions. That's kind of great yellers. Sean. Don't fuck me on this

I don't know what I'm doing. So what do you what do you have left action? No, I already did that good. Oh, you did they live see a sequel and wild card left sequel and wild card Is it better to do wild card before sequel? It might be I'll tell you what I'm going to do in wild card. I'm doing a fish call Wanda Which I don't think has the legacy that it did when I was a kid. It does not be honest

I rewatched it because I remembered absolutely losing my mind with laughter thinking he was funny and then I just sat there on the couch You didn't go as fun. I didn't I I turned it off. I was like I'd give up. Well, I'm that's disrespectful big money Python guy Obviously, so I like the idea of them like the some of those figures doing something that wasn't in that world Specifically with a little bit more seriousness Kevin Clon won the Oscar this year Which is a very weird win one of the only comedy wins in the history of the category made it for Dave. Not not made for Dave

I was really like this to me. It's a pre-askar for Dave directed by Charles Crite who was like in his 70s who had made all those Eling comedies in the 40s and 50s and I don't know I've junkies Jamie Lee Curtis

“I know you can hot. I it's she looks amazing. I think that the recent Jamie Lee Curtis. Like a son's type like or the 8th a son's”

They take 80s Jamie Lee Chris from you know, you couldn't take her from like hold that

All right, she's overexposed to me. Well, that's a jail in the bear that first time. She's just going viral now

Where she's just like every time she opens her mouth. She says something that breaks news like she announced that the bear was ending Yeah, she's like Jason blums a cheap skate She's really she's really speaking her truth. She is. I mean, are you are you gonna tell these kids that they're gonna lose a home a shelter Because we want to make people feel better about their cars We've been talking a lot about power loaders on

On the big picture recently. I think because of Avatar. Yeah, the Falco is an a power loader for a lot of Have you seen Avatar Fire and Ash? God knows I only say about him Dave, you know, I once got a fish this big Which is immediately what I would do. It's a good one. Yeah. I was thinking that the most amazing

Dave remake of all time would be if they got Shane Gillis to replace Trump as Dave But you can't do that at the course. Yeah. I do think you're you're on to something very funny

Can you imagine that movie though? Just I it'll never happen. But just in your head imagine it's a Shane Gillis movie

Starts from press conferences. Would you be surprised? Would you be like I have this tracks for the way things are going? Yeah, I guess that's where the movie falls apart. I Watch day of Last week actually Just start your owner. Yes. You've made three references to it. So we can tell. Listen. It's just a phenomenal movie

I agree. I agree. Every actor is great. Sigourney Weaver is great. I was the three of us. Everybody's great Yeah, it's just great. It's held up a hundred percent

“I think just given you know how things are going lately. What's happening? What do you just the very optimistic mid 90s like I believe in stuff movie?”

Yeah, I

Just really enjoyed it and it always gets me being rams at the end incredible angel up performance in it

Dave I would have taken a bullet for you. That's being yeah, but land gentleman. He's like oh, yeah I can tell him he's barely a person. Oh my god, his office. It's my office. I mean The movie is amazing. The broadwurst and saving the shelter. It's beautiful. It's in the mix again It's been on the channels and on the stream. I feel like it's having a moment right now. You're out on Dave. I like Dave

Yeah, I have a different view with the executive branch these days You think you could run for president? Yeah, I don't see our month a lot of momentum Yeah, sure you should have announced the get 11,000 votes

“How would you do? Well, I think I think you would do well in this environment if you were on one of those stages with 15 other nominees in a debate”

Just your crack and one liners just trying to I feel like you'd love yeah, yeah, you're just picking your spots Would you be like little Marco like a little CR all the way? Saying that he would do the debates is he somebody would say something and go go you're missing a crucial point I would be hard on the are you better off than you were four years ago

Look at the man, are you? Yeah, are you usually works. Yeah, it's always good the answer is always knowing that

You're up. I didn't really like fish that fish called one Just was never a fan saw it once in the theater didn't really do much for me and I've never seen it since but other people I know really like it just never did it for me. It's very weird because I remember thinking it was the funniest I love my high-thon too. I did I have I did not rewatch it for this it was it's a movie that I remember my dad laughing at very hard That's a very because he didn't he didn't he wasn't a huge comedy fan and the him loving that movie

“I was that was interesting, but so maybe I should rewatch it in sucks and it ruins my draft. We'll see”

Yeah, I saved some action movies Hoping one would be available for the stage of the draft and of course my favorite one was for action Hard thriller Blood sport yeah With the guy named John Claude Van Dam

This is his breakthrough. You just dropped a perfect pronunciation. I don't know. I've been working on it

That was incredible. This is I feel like that was like Jimmy just went a electric you just nailed the pronounce I can't believe I just have one of the great ideas ever for an action movie yep, the Kumite John Lee One of the best films we've ever had to movie it is good

He's at this movie has been on for 38 straight years. Yeah, I was in St. Bart's once in 2000 and watched another language You've watched it what language in like 2000 was on in like French and I watched I watched like two thirds of it Was you're like what are you doing you're in the Korean my wife was literally like what are you doing Look who my name is

And then the ending some the best acting of Van Dam's career. Yeah with Donald Gibb aka ogre yep Now at any time Anyplace some of the more upsetting like bone crunching fights in movie history Was you're like John Lee actually just killed that guy you might have you might have you it's it's like the fight version of Donald's Other Lyndon Julie Trist

Is this a real blood sport? I'll give you a hundred dollars cash if you can name who directed this movie Do you have it on you? I thought you stopped carrying that a hundred dollars. Can't really do this I don't know it. My first reaction is Ted Cochof, but I know it's not that's a good really good Yes, it's the kind it does feel like a Ted Cochof movie no, no, his name is mute Arnold He is a legendary assistant director who is the assistant director on many loomette films on the godfather part two

He did not direct many films himself He's like man, this is even better than of end of force widocurs of this

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, they're doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you see there's Michaela Cole is remaking

I'm against us nobody should touch but I just bet that whole time trying to remember the the St. Bart story reminded me of a time that I watched a movie starring Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy in Portuguese in Brazil on the hotel Because it was like all the time and I couldn't remember the movie it's called evening anyone Patrick Wilson, Mimi Gummer Anyway, that and then I watched that thing you do like 12 times on a cruise Because they can't stop the songs well, no, this was in this was the news but on the cruise

It was like 96 they had a movie on a loop. So I watched that thing you do like 45 times this goes back to my like we have way too many options for people now Like once upon a time you had the reason why most of the movies I draft I draft is because I just saw them In my living room like 48 times. Yes, yeah, you're not a blood sport guys here. I am I'm really surprised to hear I like blood sport

“As I do not revisit blood sport that many times and I think it might have been a mild like age difference thing is”

11 JCVD might have been like just a little outside of my interest in credible and intentional comedy in this movie too

Like this movie is just perfect. It's it was on Basic cable would be a local cable and it could really do anything you wanted to do I saw cyborg and theater I saw you know, it was a cyborg universal soldier, which one's Jay. He had he had he's in universal Universal soldier and then I saw the John Woo movie hard to kill hard to kill. So yeah Our target hard target hard target hard target was John club in the end at some point. He did. He he was in the big

It was I'm gonna say the Super Bowl episode And someone is dating him Somebody was working. Yeah, somebody's working. It was a big deal that he was on Yeah, yeah I still like that JCVD movie. Do you ever see that? Yeah, the better one. I think his two best or blood sport and some death

So but this is a hockey one. That one's good. Yeah. Yeah, that's good movie. That's with powers booth It's like the one power. Yeah, all right here Okay, so for these next two, so I have action and Equal left or action or a thriller and sequel left. I'm gonna pick movies that meant a lot to me in 1988 and you're young when you're 11. You don't know any better

So to me young guns was the best Western ever made And it is probably the Western. I may have seen the most in my life because of the amount of numbers

I put up in the first two years and frankly young guns and young guns, too

“I rewatched it yesterday for the first time and probably more than 30 years. How is it?”

What was not good, but I like to hear you talk about really one of my young guns, too There is a Surprised deaf and young guns that shocked me to my core as an 11 year old It also was like a rock and moral Western, you know, like a But jbanjo becomes becomes more involved obviously in young guns, too, but this felt

Kind of like a bratpack Western. It's a melee of Estabas and keep yourself in Charlie Sheen and Lou Diamond Phillips Who's our guys? Yeah, and I was like I was like That's not where they're these double Roney. Yeah, they're a more Casey Shemasko Mm-hmm. Yeah, Terred Stamp is in this and Jack Pallence Yeah, city slickers Lou Diamond was hot. He's coming off LeBomba here

Yes, it was a big deal that he was in the movie. Yeah, I believe he plays a half Mexican half a patchy in this film He does I actually think

“He's kind of really good in young guns. He's awesome. I thought I think he kind of wins the movie”

It has a really crazy scene where they all do I alasca. Do you remember this part? Yeah And the change the vocal intonations of all the characters and he wears the white makeup And that's he really weird. It's like 12 or 18 minutes. Yeah, it goes on for a long time Shane reenacted that for the next 30 years of the story. I mean, I might have been worried about him Also inverts the usual

English guys bad Irish guys good thing where Terren Stamp is English and is being persecuted by the the Catholic Irish Cattle like mob I wish it was better. I really wanted to like young guns Yeah, and really but I think it's probably you saw it at the perfect time to see it and I'll tell you something else I was I'm trying to decide what to do with sequel. There's I'm trying to decide between two But I'll tell you the one that I saw more in that. I'll tell you what we could just say one last thing about young guns

You may not remember this, but there's one scene where Brian Keith shows up as an old man who's coming to get the heads of the young guys And he just rolls up in a wagon. He's like bring. He's like 65 years old in the movie and he's having a showdown with 623 real gun slingers and he's just like talking to them and talking to them and then he goes Let's dance He just started firing everybody and then it gets fun. I'm like I don't know like all right, old time or yeah

Anyway, sorry to interrupt you so One of the other things that's really funny is how like you'll see something and think that thing is really great

I've ever selected in a movie draft in terms of rotten tomatoes hanging out at about 4%. Wow. Cattieshack 2. Oh

Okay, so this is I know that don't hate this movie, but I also watched it a lot. Because it's one of the first times

I saw Chevy Chase and I was like that's the funniest person I've ever seen Cattieshack. Yes, okay The show is irreprehensible. This is why I took Halloween for two rounds ago. I didn't want to end up with Cattieshack Is either gonna be this or Friday the 13th part Yeah, it was new blood. I didn't even know a new blood. Yeah, um, there's there's a couple of Low key cool picks and I'm sure you're right, but like in any kids

I mean on this discussion being 11 and really like watching Jackie Mason act a lot You know in this film as this is really my introduction to his comedy

“Jackie Hartunian. I think that's right. Yeah”

He basically is filling in the danger field role. I think you having less temptation of Christ and Cattieshack 2

Maybe a week. It's the world by the end. I respect it. Look at him. Yeah, Roof shake I know that this is another banger from Jonathan Silverman who really had a lot going on at this era Sure, in 80s. Yeah, we had weekend at Bernie's in this, right? I think he had a lot going on in the sense that my friends and I were all like what's up with this guy But the reason I picked this is because Chevy Chase really prizes his role as Tyweb and yeah, to me I was like this guy's the funniest thing I've ever seen and then found out about flesh and found it about first catch

Did you do the look at my watch thing with no watch on in this movie? Yeah, it's just like sits on a guy's lap randomly Like it's just he's having fun. Yeah, uh, Dine cannons in this film and for work. Yeah So I said Wow I

Don't understand why this is still on the board in wildcard Yeah, for me. I have my wildcard left I had a plan for this I really feel bad. I feel bad. I want to call Carl Weathers and Apologize for not taking a single shot

“That's what I was gonna end up on. Yeah, you're guy”

But this is just the value here late round. I feel it's a little Brock Perdius Good morning of Vietnam this late as a wildcard like Add me I just won me the draft. Thanks guys Definitely the people love Action Jackson no good morning Vietnam. Good morning Vietnam's 87. Yeah, good morning Vietnam's 87. Oh

Did I write that down? Yeah December 25th, 19. He said. Oh, I looked at the wrong thing Well, maybe I didn't even look at the box office because it didn't do that. Yeah, God damn it Okay, yeah, I don't have to apologize to Carl Weathers. Um, I do have to apologize to Julie Roberts and Annabogish and Lily Taylor Because I love mystic pizza. I'm not demon. What about Annabogish? She's at the end of that kiss And I want to apologize so today Annabogish

But he put it he put all the on jcvd get to it Blood sport is a knockout. Yeah, this is great. I'm so happy this worked out action Jackson There should have been three of these maybe even four Carl Weathers. It was the one time we gave him the car keys He delivered. Yeah Sharon Stone is in this movie throwing 100 I don't even know they couldn't measure it the radar gum broke like the the glass on the radar gun

It just that it shattered King Solomon's minds and I was like I love her

“I don't even know how to express it how much I love her for me was casino. I honestly”

I've talked to van about this obviously I it's inexplicable that they did this wasn't a franchise I don't know what happened. I think this movie even did like pretty well. Let's find out the box This is really a insanely violent and has a ton of nudity, right and who's the bill? 1888, baby Who is the villain and this is about $11 million Well, maybe that's one of the reasons I deal

Craig T. Nielsen. Oh, that's right was the evil guy and then our guy bill dukes in a two but also forgot to mention my apologies to her as well vanity That's right this movie has Sharon Stone and Vanity and I was 18 when it came out and and Apollo Creates in it trying to shed his rockingness It's a great movie and it's always so funny to check from like 85 to 2000 the people who like are

To sit in a top first of movies like this and it's always like Matthew F. Lee and Eddie

It's like some guy shot like places in the art and then five years later he's like all right vanity Step out of the shower work is the word yeah Okay, well, you didn't take one away from me there. So that's good. I wasn't it was not eyeing action Jackson I got one more pick and sequel. Yeah, and you did your homework, so I did my homework. Yeah, blow my mind. Yeah

Which is one of the best music documentaries of all time should ever see this one the good one Is it really funny? I don't know if I really call this in the spirit of the sequel. It's got part two right here Sure was there a part one though. Yeah sure was it's about pork rock Couts Sorry, okay good pick. I mean come on

Good show it to me on opening day show it was show me the respect this movie and I'm getting our wins world it certainly did yeah the stuff with is it the lead singer of warrant in the pool Where he's incredibly drunk and drinking vodka straight out of the bottle and his mom is living with him

Yeah, it's some of the funniest and saddest shit I've ever seen in my life Aussie is incredible in this Gene Simmons is incredible in this all of the the style and of the testimonials is really really great This is one of the most watchable docs of all time. It's just an ingenious idea of like very non-judgmentally just showing these guys in their element and talking about what their lives are like at that period and then that knowing Basically having no idea it was gonna be filmed and consumed by other people. Yes, yes, which is

This movie could never happen anymore nobody would be conscious. Yeah, they would be suspicious

And no, it's like it's like a good apology. It's such a great movie. If people haven't seen it, they should check it out First of smarting over that because he didn't think to pick that one. Well, no, I guess I didn't think about documentaries as franchises Yeah, but hey, congratulations. There was a part three as well So are you done or you have no, I have sequel. Which one is sort of it's not the most exciting

“What is for yourself to be picking sequel last well?”

Again, I understand you know, it's not the kicker that we want but I didn't want someone else to take crossing Bilancey so I did that in the last round so if you would have taken Katty Shack too Sure, yeah, and I know that the the the Rambo that is dedicated to the people of Afghanistan Still on the board, but I'm not going to be doing that one Great great call. It is I

I'm going with a movie the none of you have even seen which is a appointment with death Which is the last time that Peter Usenoff played air cool ploro great It's not that good. It's and I would say it's like not that good. It is an Agatha Christie mystery Because it uses a lot of collection in against that she's used a million times before But I'm going to read you the cast and then I want you guys to tell me who you think did it

Okay, because that's these adaptations are just a bunch of famous people and then I love it. I'm never seen this one

So Peter Usenoff is air cool parl for the last time he didn't do it Lauren vocal Carrie Fisher John Gilgood, Piper Lori at Haley Mills and some other people, but it's pretty good Genie grove and David soul Haley Mills Haley Mills is in it David soul yeah, Hutch What's this one called appointment with death appointment with death? I'll guess Carrie Fisher. Okay Christopher recall Bill recall it's but call yeah of course it's but call yeah also the second parrow that she did

“Because remember she's also in order on the orient. Yeah, but she didn't do it for character”

They all well spoiler alert for murder on the orient express, but they all that though. I think that she is she the mom so Yeah, they all do it That's that's my thanks a great week back. Thanks so much. There are a lot of sequels from this year. Okay none of them are good really The only other cool and I thought about was police story two the Jack Chan movie which is a really cool Jackie Chan movie that he directed The nightmare an old street movie is four the dream master three. I would have taken four no one par sequels were bad except for Halloween four

Hell razor two's okay. Yeah, it's okay. I never whatever is a whole razor guy. One of the biggest movies of this year

Shockingly big is Crocodile Dundee - which never got it. Me neither Didn't didn't get it didn't understand why people saw the first one and then they made a sequel and it's like what what's going on? They're making another one and then people saw that too. It's the sixth highest gross movie of the year. It made a hundred and nine million dollars. This is a real like you can take three bucks to go see this guy go

“That's not an off like I guess that's what we want it. Can you do the like”

The update to twenty twenty six for adjusted for information. Hundred and nine million how much is that adjusted for inflation because like It's a fucking marvel movie for Crocodile Dundee - yeah I never got it. Have you been to us the girls the girls the track is. It's Australia. He was right the last game over Yeah, she was great. I was his wife in real life. I apologize to a couple movies that of course the pig's honorable honorably mentioned so Right like big city. I'm sorry. Yeah

- Yeah, I just couldn't, totally get there. - I watched it for the first time last week, didn't like it. - Yeah, it's just then make it, I wanted it to be good. - I think it's James Bridges 2, I love James Bridges movies.

it's just not a good movie.

“- I would ask you about a movie that I have a lot of affection for,”

and I was wondering if you liked it. Talk radio. - Was goes in? - No.

- Okay, just like the never-like book, as a fellow Mike Guy,

you know, like just, it's a great film. - Colors was a backup drama for me in case there was a run on dramas, and then didn't get it, but I don't love that movie. - You empathize with those cops, or... - I just don't.

- I like that Duval and Champagne are in a cop movie together, but it's that movie's problematic above the law, for SEGAL's first movie, it's probably the weakest SEGAL, which is why I say the worst. - It's the best SEGAL movie.

- Is that the Rossafarian? - No, for justices. - Oh no, is Alfred justice the movie? - Above the law is the first one, and it's that dad never really figured out SEGAL yet.

- What's the Andrew Davis one? - That's not above the law. - That's above the law. - No, above the law is an engineering. - Yeah, above the law is it directed by your business.

- Yeah, it is. - It is, yeah. - Really? - Yeah, that's the best one, that's the one I'm thinking. - A martial arts expert and former CIA agent,

Nico Tuscany, is working as a Chicago cop on a relatively routine drug trafficking investigation. - It's good. - That was one of the best. - The first four SEGALs are great.

“Many at cop, I thought somebody might take.”

- Yeah, well, I watched it this week. - I watched many at cop, and I really liked it. - It would have been in my work. - Nick was putting Reef in it. - And then my favorite one,

that I just think of a Bangor. It's a two-be Bangor, Amanda. - Okay. - Masquerade with Roblo. - I don't know this one.

- It's an erotic thriller. - Okay. - It's set in somewhere, oceany and nice to hang out with. - Bob's a good one. - It's a good one.

- Bob's a good one. - It's pretty rachi. Make till isn't it? Kim Katrau, basically testing out her sexy city character. - Yeah.

- It's the Hamptons. - The Hamptons. - Okay. - And Roblo's great in it, and the movie's just good. It's like, like, and I forget somebody good directed it.

- He's just saying who directed that. - Oh, yes, sorry, but I was just reading the locations. Bob's swim, written by Dick Wolf. - Bob's swim, written by Dick Wolf. - And Dick Wolf.

- Bob's swim that we did, he crossed past with the rewatchables recently, with something he did. But yeah, the only other one I had for Wildcard was YouTube Radon Home. - Try to acquire it on Blue Raid this week

to get another look at it, run in about 75 bucks on eBay, now what you want. - Masquerades? - No, YouTube Radon Home, Phil's your nose. - What's your price limit right now?

Unless there's a sale. - For a movie, I'm gonna watch one time

for a pot I would never spend $5 dollars.

- I would never wanna advocate for this, but if there is a clip of, it doesn't make the actual final film, is of them playing wither without you and Temby from this movie.

It looks better than 98% of movies made today, and it's the best version of wither. - It would be in Austin, Jeff Cronan with? - Yeah, David Fincher's cinematography. - Yes, this movie, I think.

- That's my favorite, Jack O'Neige to do this scene all through college, where the edge is playing BB King, this thing they did. And he's like, "Do you like the lyrics, BB?" (laughing)

- You're like, "Yeah, there's some good lyrics." - It's just like the most free reading novels. Stop the traffic, you like that movie. - Was there any, what do your big regrets? - I mean, I'll say for my,

once, I mean, I like dead-ringers a lot. We didn't put in Willow, nobody took Willow. - Yeah, I had Willow on the list. - So no leads to twins, nobody took twins. - Yeah.

- School days. - Not a great movie. - This is a sentimental pit, 'cause it was just like a 1988 VHS classic was Satisfaction with Justin Bateman.

- Oh yeah, three of these things on that. - Yeah. - And serpent in the rainbow, which is Craven. - Craven. - Yeah.

- And school days. - Honestly, I'm a little upset and demanded in take-mistic pizza. I thought I knew her better. - Kind of surprised. - Yeah.

- That was on my list. - But it was in the wildcards, but I really, I do like cross-ingalancy. I feel like I've taken mystic pizza before and maybe not a draft, but like an angelia robber,

it's a Hall of Fame situation. So it wasn't there. The other honorable mention that I wanted to do was just a movie I had not seen until now, which is a handful of dust.

- Mm-hmm. - Just an Evelyn Wild adaptation starring Chris and Scott Thomas. - As like, and it's kind of one of her main breakthroughs. Alec and us also shows up and, you know, other people, but--

- You get for out, possible 8-8 MVP. - Right, yeah. - Yeah, it's a little boring. - Yeah, it's a little dust. - Judy Denge is in, you know, James Willby.

It's, but it's, you know, a costume is drama that you would think I would know about. - I haven't seen it. - And I did not. Pretty good.

- Okay. - I got a lot more. - Yeah.

“- I mean, we never talked about Mississippi, Burning, and in the time when was it was a huge movie that year?”

- Big Oscar. - That was a scene in the theater movie. - Yep. - Plus Gene Hackman, coming off Hoosiers, now trying to solve racism in the deep south. - First time I've ever saw Francis McDorman as in that movie, and she was nominated for that movie.

And she's got that heat with Hackman, but she's the wife of the racist. - Legend. - Yeah, she's great. - Dirty rotten scoundrels?

- Yeah, never really clicked with me.

- Oh, interesting, big movie from the time. - Yeah.

- Not my dream, I'm not a huge fan of it either. Some smaller ones I really like, Miracle Mile, Anthony Edwards, telling me they're winning the Chinese. - Yeah, and we'll share.

“- Yes, the old diner, which is about like L.A. like undergoing the big one, right?”

- I like that one. - I saw something for the first time, I don't know if any of you guys have seen it. This is one that I bought to watch, because I really wanted to watch it.

I know you guys like Harold Becker, I've never seen this movie before.

The boost, the James Woods, do you know about this movie? - Oh, is that what he's doing drugs? - Yes. - So he's playing a salesman, and he's having a hard time in his career. He's married to Sean Young, who looks fabulous in this movie.

And he's having a really hard time catching on and making any money, living in New York. And he goes in for a job interview, and he bombs the job interview. But one of the guys who's interviewing him in the interview, sees something in him. He's like, I'm about to leave this company and start my own business, and we're going to go out to L.A. And I want you to come with me and be my salesman.

- What I saw on CR? - Same shit. - James Woods goes out, and he takes off wildfire selling real estate in L.A. - And he gets boost. - He gets rich really fast, then the government changes the tax laws.

- Like the bull that he was using, yes. - And all of a sudden, he's addicted to cocaine, and he is massively in debt. And it's a real, like, yuppie nightmare spiral movie. I thought it was really good. - Watch now on MGM Tubi or Fubo.

- Wow. - I recently subscribed to MGM, again. - I like MGM too. - I'm proud that you wanted to get into. - I'm moving for this, I can't remember now, but, you know, there have been a few of them.

- I know. - So MGM strong. - Yeah. - I mean, I subscribed to everything because-- - I mean, too.

- I just have to, but the cable package. - Stars. - No, I do all the apps, like what? - Oh, yeah. - But I mean, like something sorely, you were like, you watched all that. - But I really liked MGM.

- I think that would be movies. - Yeah. - Patience. - Patience. - Paul Shraders.

- Docky drama about that? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - Okay, I like it. - Vim Vendors of Wings of Desire, probably the best movie not trashed here. - We interviewed punchline or the accused, which was to big movies for,

uh, big, big, big townhanks to, you foster people we like talking about. - To do foster one for that. - I watched the accused a couple of years ago. And, uh, it was really dated. She's really good in it, but it's very like feels very 80s.

- Do you like everybody's all American? - Not really at down. - I've never seen that. - It's like a Kurt Russell and Robin Williams. - Dennis, this is in Dennis Quay, now, that's best of time,

so you're talking about, right? - But Dennis Quay is in everybody's all American. - Yeah. - And with Kurt Russell. - Right. - And to take it back to L.I.C.U.

- Right. - It's up to like that. - Stand in the liver? - Yeah, almost. - Mm-hmm.

- So we can speak in a flu-diamond philipses. Was that my Washington list? - You know? He's playing like a Cholo gangster, and who is also really good at calculus.

- Yeah. - Great movie idea, and where James almost. Girl is in the mist. Is he born a weaver? - Yeah.

- I don't know that movie.

- I mean, I never got it either.

- Yeah. - Okay. - Respect to Sigourney Weaver, though. She was also, she was nominated both for that and working girl. I've got working girl, obviously.

- Okay. - Uh, we mentioned Tucker, the unbearable lightness of being, D-D-L, early D-D-L. - Yeah. That's a movie.

- Mm-hmm. - We didn't say beaches. - beaches? - That was a thing. - And sure was.

We were talking yesterday about the wind being windy. - Are you a beaches fan? - That night we didn't drop it. - I guess not. - I think wind beneath my wings.

Like I had to sing an elementary school at some point. You know, so that's kind of the long tail of the beaches effect. - Sure.

“- I mean, honestly licensed to drive, I guess,”

was the best of all the 80s team movies, and I don't think that should have been drafted. And the Deadpool was probably the most disappointing, 'cause that was like Clint Dirty Harry's back. - Yeah.

- It was just sucked. - Well, Clint was putting all his energy into bird. - The movie he directed. - Oh, you're about Charlie Parker. - It's dinosaur.

- Or dinosaur. - Yeah. - Nine of four were gonna say he was putting his energy in the taken down babes. - Right, that's right in front of me.

- Right in front of me. - Yeah. - Well, I don't think he was mayor at that time. - Not yet. I think it was in the early '90s, right?

Post on for given. - I thought the sequels were incredibly disappointing. - It's a tough year. - It's like really bad versions of movies that had peaks, like three movies earlier.

Basically, there was a bond those.

- No, no, it's just like I was surprised there wasn't. Like, oh, that kinda don't mind that Friday the 13th. It was like none of those for me. - Didn't we have like a plethora of them in '89? I feel like we had a bunch to choose from.

- Yeah, because the top 10 was all either.

“Was Batman and/or, I think it's Ghostbusters 2.”

- Yeah, Ghostbusters 2. - Yeah, Ghostbusters 2. - Yeah, Ghostbusters 2. - Is that a single, is Arthur 2? - On the rocks.

- Were there like, is there anything left here? - Nope. (laughing) - Would you think of the Arthur remake with Russell Brand? - Did that happen?

- Isn't Greta Groig in that? - She is. She's a female lead. Do you like it? - Oh, I forgot about that.

- Wow, I forgot that happen.

- Greta Groig's in that? - She was like, she did that and then she was gonna make the how I met your mother's sequel and didn't. Did that mind up to becoming a Greta Thor? (laughing)

Any closing thoughts? - No, I mean, I'm trying to say if we missed anything,

“I think we talked about everything for the most part.”

Should we recap teams? - Yeah. - Yeah.

- Okay, so Sierra the first pick to you will first Chris.

- In drama, I had the last temptation of Christ. (laughing) - Comedy. - I had Bull Durham in action horror thriller. I took young guns in Oscar nominee married to the mob

in sequel, Cattie Sheck 2, 4% in Black Buster, die hard and in wild card, make it gun. - Okay, yes. - So, Cattie Sheck 2 really hurt you. - Yeah.

- Dangerously his odds for drama, blood sport action, Rain Man Oscar nominee, midnight run for comedy, Halloween 4 for sequel, cocktail for Black Buster and action Jackson for wild card. - I'm feeling good about that.

- That's a good class man. - Solid film feels very 1988-ish. - Feels like me, you know what? - It does. - That has a little scent of me.

(laughing) - How would you describe that scent? - It smells like the garden. - Yeah, and it's like popcorn and happiness. - A worn in second basements glove.

- Yeah. - Speaking of, for my picks, drama, I had eight men out. Comedy, I had Beetlejuice, action horror thriller. I have they live, Oscar nominee. I have who-frame Roger Abbott, sequel,

the decline of Western civilization part two, The Metal Years. - That's a cheat. - Black Buster. - You were with him in the moment,

but now you're turning. - No, it's just you. - It's fine. - It's fine, it's fine. - It's fine. - It's fine.

- It's fine. - It's fine. - It's fine. - Yeah. - Do we even post these for votes anymore?

- We do. - We do. - Yeah, we post ones of your heads. (laughing) - Black Buster got big and wild card

I got a fish called Wanda. - Okay. - Interesting. I don't know who won this one. - In drama, we just got some briefs.

- In drama, have running on empty and comedy, working girl, in action horror thriller, frantic, in Oscar nominee, women on the verge of a nervous breakdown. In sequel, appointment with death in Black Buster, coming to America and in wild card, crossing delancy.

- All right. - Between these two. I think we picked for the hearts. - I picked with my heart. - And we did, you know.

- You did. - But we're on here, I don't like. - We're fringy, you know. - And you, you know, like the Kumatee.

“It's just like sometimes you have to go.”

- Yeah, so when the vote happens, - Chaps of their own out by each other. - Chaps of their own out by each other. (laughing) - Let's put it in action, Jackson, come on guys.

- What are we doing? - Will you vote in this vote? - Yeah, I'll vote for myself. (laughing) - You wouldn't vote for Michael Dukakis,

but you would. - No, there's a thing is like you wanted to, but it's like, it was harder back then. - I might have voted. - I really might have.

- And I might have voted for Keri. - I just can't remember. - I don't remember that. - You could have been rewatchables with CR, which was six years ago.

- No, I remember, listening to that. I know exactly what I was going to start in doing those accents. - Chris, you know, and beating Rip before this pod was just openly referring to Danny Archer,

as though he were like a very famous movie character that we all know and loved, Danny Archer. - Danny Archer? - Danny Archer. - Danny Archer.

CIA. (laughing) - Okay, well, thanks very much to our producer, Jack Sanders, for his work on this episode. Thanks to Lucas Cavanon, Jacob Cornet,

for production support.

“Next week, we'll talk about the best movies of the year”

so far, the end of the first three months,

and 10 movies that we missed during Oscars series. - Movies came out this year. - A lot of movies, actually. Have you been catching up? - Yes, and I'm--

- Do you feel ready? - Well, I've learned a lot about Piki Blinders, and I can't wait to share it with you. - Do you have an ordinary man? - Yes, yes.

- I know. - Do you have an ordinary man? - No, Tommy Shelby? - Yeah. - Never got in.

- When is this running? - On Friday? - Nope. - Tomorrow morning. - Tomorrow morning.

- Thursday morning, sorry. - When is crime when I want to be on a streamer? - It's not on Amazon. - I don't know. - It's on pretty soon.

- It's on Amazon. - I do need your thoughts. - I've been waiting, because I really was-- - The other day, I just don't understand it. - One of my favorite occurrences is van calls me,

and I'm like, oh, no, no, what happened? - And he's just a crime 101. They could have been better. - He's like, I won't take much of your time. - But crime 101 could have been better.

And I'm like, "Hey, agree, but I didn't have a bad day." - I need to know you're the type. - Yeah. - I really need to know, 'cause you were great. - We were colder on it than I expected to be,

and we didn't get a chance to talk about it. - It's like pretty good. - It's not great. - We did the pod together, man. - Oh, you were like, "Yeah, you were, you were salted."

- That's what I meant. (laughing) - It's, I mean. - I liked it. Was it better than hand that?

- Oh, my opinion, yes.

- The first hour of crime 101 blows the first hour.

- Where'd you be coming out of the water? - Do you know what? I don't think-- - The first hour of hand it, I hated it. - But did the tree--

- But she was like-- - The second hour hand it is phenomenal. - But it's just hand, I am with it. - Well, yeah, that part. (laughing)

- I have proof of that part. - Alright, Bill Simmons, thank you so much. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Thank you, we'll see you soon. (upbeat music)
