‘The Nice Guys’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Rob Mahoney

The rewatchables is brought to by the ringer podcast network.

We can find the ringer and be a show with Rob Mahoney. Group chat and the prestige TV podcast. It's all happening. And the rewatchables, what a week for you. And you are on my podcast.

That's a lot. Yeah, you're on a lot. You're on a lot. We're just looking at what's happening. Trying not to overexpose you.

Chris Rines, we're still in C.R. Month. We are. Rob said on my podcast this week that every month is C.R. Month. That seems to be the consensus thing. That's really nice of people to say.

I know whether that means I've outworn my welcome or what. Just for the people to use to celebrate. Yeah, exactly. It's how do you choose to recognize C.R. Month completely? Well, we're 60% through C.R. Month.

Almost 80% after this one. We did a vote. Put 12 movies up for vote. You thought Goon is was going to win. Well, I sometimes think that we skew a little bit older in our demo,

but apparently the young people, it's like when they voted, we voted for Obama and O.A., you know, we took it back. Who's the we here? I voted for Obama and I'm not saying Craig. Craig's excited because it's opening up a whole bunch of last 15-year

movies when these movies do well. Yeah, 10 to 25. All the voters were just boxed and I made it. Yeah, not before it. The nice guys is next.

This episode of the rewatchables is presented by TikTok. The online world moves fast.

“That's why TikTok approaches teen safety with families in mind”

from the start on TikTok. Teens get over 50 built-in protections right when they join. Their accounts start private by default for those under 16 direct messages are turned off. Only friends can comment on their videos.

When safety comes first, discovery can follow. Learn more at tiktok.com/gardiansguide. Nice guys, technically the 10 year anniversary of this movie came out in 2016. One of those I wrote down, "Destin to become a beloved cult movie, but tried to be a hit movie."

But then it wasn't a hit movie. And then it became exactly what it was supposed to be, which was a beloved cult movie. And it happened almost immediately, it was in the last vestiges of when people would go to cable and still watch stuff on cable, but the streamers were coming. And you know that this movie is popular because it's on all the time.

On cable channels, it's always on one of the big streamers.

It's just here and it feels like it's here to stay here. It's got everything you want from a movie. Usually when we do rewatchables, especially over the last couple of months, I've noticed like a lot of the things that I tend to highlight are like sequences, filmmaking, moments from the movie.

This is, it's all lines. This is a great dialogue movie. This is a great memorable lines movie. It features my favorite Ryan Gosling performance, and he's in the news, obviously, because Projectile Mary is coming out this weekend, I guess, from a recording.

So it'll be next past weekend when you hear this.

“And yeah, this is just so like, do you really need to know the plot of this movie?”

You just turn it on and hang out with it. That's the closest thing we've got to midnight run this century. It is midnight run, but somehow it's slee's year. Like, it's like we get even grimey or even weirder and drive it the lines. But I feel like this is, it's a perfect rewatchable, because if you are locked in, the

physical comedy is so funny, yes.

But if you're, if you're second screening, the line deliveries are so great.

And if you're just like walking around doing chores, you're going to be like cackling from the next room, because some of this stuff is so big, you can just hear it and react to it. Yeah, it's a chemistry. It's only, it's where they've only made one, but I guess the movie didn't do well enough

to bring back. It's such a shame, yeah. I have a list of movies that went backwards to the 1970s, because I think that's part of the secret science. Boogie Knights, almost famous, Casino, Goodfell is the conjuring rush, zodiac, anchorman,

ice storm, nice guys, days to confuse Argo and American gangster. So that is just 13. We've, I think we've done all of those on rewatchables, except for rush, which is on the list. Why is it so fun to go back to the 70s?

What is it? Cool, it's fun to smoke. Ladies, look great. Ladies and great. They really look the best back then.

What else do you need? It's like, everybody was kind of like, this fucking government is screwing us over. Like, what could we do about it? Let's get drunk. Yeah.

Let's have some cigarettes. It's okay. You could drive home. You're fine. The burgeoning porn industry.

I mean, well, yeah. This movie is so cool for exactly those reasons, even though everyone in it is aggressively uncool. It shouldn't be. But because of the era, because of the stylings, because of the cars, like, it just

kind of works in that way.

“Craig, I was there for the 70s, so I vaguely remember some of it.”

You missed it by a couple decades. When you go back in the 70s, what is it for you? The giant lapels, the brown suits, parties just seeming really fun, no phones, everyone's

it off figured out back that I'm trying to think, what are movies that failed that went back to the 70s? I'm sure there's been a couple when we blacked them out of our minds, but it's a quick question. Is there been ones where we go back, and it just didn't work, and we're like, why

are we doing this? Because maybe, like, semi-prow, they didn't totally work, but even that one, I kind of enjoy. The funny thing is, like, with a movie like semi-prow, which I actually, like, there's a couple of really amazing scenes in that, it's like they can't get out of their own contemporary

heads, enough, you're always aware that you were watching Will Ferrell pretend to be an

ABA basketball player, whereas this, like, this just feels like an episode of the Rockford Files, man, with all, like, with more profanity and more nudity and better jokes. Pluto has really brought back this decade.

“They have, I think they might even have a 70s channel, but you can just dive in the love”

boat, fantasy island, Rockford Files, Vegas, and it really was kind of like this, especially like you watched like the Charlie's Angels, where everything was resolved in an hour, and you would just have these ski-ve guys, like the Russell Crow character, you'd have good looking woman trying to navigate like this, like inherently crazy sexist world, everybody's drinking, and just people have nice cars, and they're just driving around LA, there's never traffic.

Yeah, it just seems like the greatest place. The big crisis in this movie is smog. Yeah. The new mother's no traffic, they're just zooming down sunset, happily, popping around different parties.

They also have the gas crisis, so maybe some people stayed off the road. When you were growing up and you're watching these 70s shows, but have no context. Yeah, there's any part of LA, and you don't know where LA begins and ends in your mind. You think the beach is next to Sunset Boulevard and all this stuff, but I was, that was the LA I fell in love with.

It was one of the reasons I want to move here.

So remember the first time I came here, I did one of those like, this is how LA is supposed

to work days, right? I went to the beach, then I drove to Silver Lake, and then went to a hockey game, and it was like one of the worst days of my life, because I spent five hours in bumper to bumper traffic trying to do that, and so it really, you know, it wiped away any preconceived notions I had about how easy it would be to get around here.

So how do we go back?

“Other than a smog crisis, and less dramatic corporate conspiracy, how do we get it back?”

Feels like we can rebuild it. When you moved here, what was different about LA than you expected? Well, I think it's as advertised, like it's as miserable going across town as everyone tells you that it is, I am exactly in the size of bubble that everyone warned me I would be, as long as you're aware of what's happening, I think it's fine.

Yeah. Everyone's in a while, I'll have an LA experience, I just have one driving over where I'm like, I wish I could have Jack and Holland and the car with me, to kind of like, because I was just behind a waymo that refused to take the left turn, you know, it was just like, well, there still could be traffic coming.

And I'm like, "Wow, we're just going to see you behind this fucking robot car." Disaster. For half an hour. This is insane. And I was just like, I wish those guys were in the back seat, just shooting at the car.

One lineers. Yeah. This has been my most LA experience, is I'm not an aggressive driver by type, the city brings it out of you, but learning that you can bully every robot car on the road has been a very formative experience.

Until, for me. Until they turn back the time. That's true. I'm going to get my licks in in the media. I've been doing a new thing when I'm walking around and I see the waymo coming.

I just kind of go on the street a little bit, because it spaces out.

“And it's just like, yeah, who's the charge now waymo?”

Somewhere there's a reddit Fred was like, "I was in a waymo and you're talking to the students. I'm talking to my car." Ryan Gosling. This was, so we talked about the concept of Oscars and BPs.

We're like, who owned the year? We talked about that the last rewatchables. We talked about that being a new category that we may need to introduce because there are certain years where like, Spielberg character director Gosling does this in LA land. And I, you know, this, this movie didn't do like fantastic or anything, but two really

distinct performances really fun.

He's one of the first people you think about.

Yeah. We think about this here. He would have, I think, been nominated for MVP. He would have been his, I think, well, basketball, it's his Cape Cunningham year. Like, please throw me in the mix for your podcast conversations on that actually to win.

Yeah. But I was thinking about years where you could watch a terrific actor to completely different things in two movies in the same year. Yeah. As trying to find all the times that this happened, the, the funniest example that, that's

just like stood out was Ed Norton, who's in rounders as warm in American history acts in the same year, like iconic performances, right? Yes. He's warm. And then he's the American, history acts guy, Hank's was Philadelphia and

Sleepless and Seattle in 1993, pretty distinct.

Those were that different. Well, one, he's got the accent. I mean, that's true. Denny. Denny.

Jackson. Denny. And there's other ones that had, like, big years, like, poidey, big, people like that. Yeah.

We combos.

But he's always crews, but it's like McGuire and Mission 1, Top Gun and Color

Money, Cocktail and Rain Man, but you wouldn't see, say, like, crews became two different people. Gosling and in this movie, compared to La La Land, feels like two different people. Dramaticly. Yes.

But this is my favorite era for him. It's after his like, angry young man opening of, like, half Nelson and, and drive and some of that stuff. This is like, one of the best runs for me in the recent memory of an actor, just showing their taste.

It's working with great directors. He kind of stops at what, like, first man or, where Blade Runner 249, and takes a few years off. And I comes back to this era that we're now, which is like, fall guy Barbie, cocktail marion.

It's kind of a little bit more happy go lucky here for a good time, not a long time, kind of, like, vibes, whereas, like, this is really, like, complicated or charming. Yeah. Really, really, like, like, well tailored to his skill set.

And the thing about him that I think is really lost on some of our big young stars.

Now, he's fucking funny. He is so funny. And he's funny. La La Land, I mean, he's not, maybe not funny in Blade Runner, but he is able to do comedy. Solaris and Drive.

He's so terrible. Yeah. But in him being a comedic actor, like, I think this movie launches him in a totally different way. Yeah.

That kid can't does not happen without this movie.

“Like, this is him going full buffoon in a way that you need to sell that pitch of, oh,”

he can be this guy and not just, like, a smart, me kind of son, like, wisecracking comedian. But someone's like, the butt of every joke in this movie. Well, so you can be funny by how you deliver lines. But then you can be funny by not doing anything, which is a much harder level of funny. And he has moments of this movie where he's funny and he's not saying what he's funny

when he's just throwing cigarettes in his pool. Yeah. Because like when he is, we talked about in the rewatchables mail bag that's coming on Thursday. Oh, it's probably already happened by the time people are with the time people hear us.

We talked about how good of an SNL host is. And I think the best SNL sketch he had was when he was, like, those beaves and butt head guys in the eyes. That's so. Yeah.

And it was just all facial expressions. But it does that a couple times in this movie. And, you know, I can't wait to see who we thought won the movie when we do at the end. He's obviously in the running, but I kind of felt I can't need it this for the IMDB. He'd like one of these.

When we talked about with crazy stupid love, same thing where it's like, I can be like handsome rom-com guy. I can be like, really funny detective guy. I can be mysterious, drive guy. I can be la la la la.

I can be New Armstrong. Yeah.

“He's got a lot of pitches, which I think separates him.”

He's got a ton of humility because there are other actors who would do this. And have three characters in the movie make reference to how handsome he is, or like, why are you so talented? You're throwing everything away. This guy's just a loser in the only person who really sees him as anything else is his

daughter. Yeah. And the movie works because of that. If it was like, oh, he's so hot, he's so funny.

It's like, no, everybody thinks this guy is basically a functioning alcoholic who happens

at the end to become a great detective or like to rediscover his detective skills. And he has to suck. He has to be that kind of low life to the point that like, maybe the best moment of this movie is him with his pants down in a bathroom stall like, yeah, trying to kick the door open and hold it.

And it's like the physical beats of that are really hard to pull off. But you're right. It requires you to be willing to embarrass yourself. Yeah. It's hard to like be like, hey, you're the big one of the bigger stars in the world.

We want you to take a dump, drop a cigarette in your lap. And then get intimidated by Russell Crowe not holding a gun on you. Yeah. About this, when we did some more in baby podcasts last year, I'm rewatchable, so we did redford month that we talked about the concept of start-up and when stars were willing,

I don't know, unwilling to do. And William Goldman was telling that story about warm baby turning down misery, because the guy was crippled in bed and he's like, I don't want to play a loser. And that was like a recurring theme of some of those guys. I don't want to be a loser, right?

I get to be the hero. I want to be the guy. I don't want to be vulnerable. Yeah. Gosling does not care.

He's peaceful. We want to go for whatever. You know, loves Gosling. Craig. Seek your number one guy.

Definitely of this generation, yes.

“Because the comedy thing is the biggest risk of any genre, I think you can take.”

If you do a really weird dramatic role, there's prestige in that. Yeah. All the other young great actors right now, show them an Jacob awardee and whoever you want to say, none of them are really taking a risk with comedy. You can, a Lordy can take a risk with Frank and Stein and be in the makeup and do all

nobody does it in Gosling at your point and even when he's on SNL, he's okay making

himself looks stupid. Yeah. That's like heavy up the fun of it.

“But I think Gosling is having the most fun in this movie.”

And you can even tell how much Gosling loves this movie. To this day, he still does press up, when he's doing press for other stuff like Project Emory, he keeps talking about how angry birds the movie is the reason why the nice guys flopped because they came out saying, yeah, he's like, fucking angry birds, man, those birds were just so angry.

So what's your, what's your, what's your history with this movie? Late, late coming to it. Okay. Saw, saw, uh, VOD probably after came out and then was a slow burn, because just because it was on a lot and it has a couple really good set pieces.

I mean, I would use moving theaters to do. Yes, but this would be right around when I was, I also love Shane Black. So like I have, I have a lot of affinity for at least a weapon and I mean, log has good night. And in last action, we're like the, the other ones that he did in the 80s and they're

early 90s. So yeah, last voice. Last voice count. And this is like as Shane Black is Shane Black gets honestly, like purely distilled. I think especially, it's so cynical and I think there's this kind of like discrepancy

in the movie of like what's the right move versus what's the smart move? Yes.

And they're making the smart move the whole time, which is basically to be as crooked

as everyone else and like pull over one on old ladies and beat people up whenever you need. And that like idea that we're all cynical, we're all exploiting people. But then sometimes it's like, you get to the bottom of the barrel and it's like, I kind of just want to do the one right thing.

Yes. And Shane Black is so good at that.

“Yeah, this, I think this movie is like a second or third watch because the plot is so”

convoluted. Oh, yeah. It's hard to follow the first time you're watching. Like, what's going on? There's a tape and that audio show.

It starts out confusing and we'll get to it probably in the in their categories. But like, it's unclear if you're just watching the first time you're like, wait. So he's following Amelia, but he's just looking for Amelia because she's germane to another case. And who's Amelia again?

Yeah, exactly. So that's Margaret. Russell Crowe, a little bit after one of the best actor career ones we had, this 11 year run from 97 to 07, had a pretty hard career someone, some of that was self-inflicted. And he's 51 when he does this movie and it's a hard 51.

Like, he's, he's lived some life. He lived a Australian life. He said it was a character choice. He did. Yeah.

To pack on it for this guy. Yeah. He might have already packed it on. Let me say Rob, this wasn't quite his 22 stuff worst title. But a little bit somewhere vibes of like, I'm still here.

I'm still really good at stuff. I think he's more than still here. Like this movie doesn't work without his like counterweight to everything. We just praised Gosling up and down.

“I think you need the specificities of Crowe's performance.”

I want to save some more about that for later, but I think he's just phenomenal. It's me to, I mean, look, him and Gosling are great together. Obviously, he peaked chemistry wise, the most with Crowe's own proof of life. Yeah. We don't need to litigate that stuff of life.

I know. I really like that he was able to find chemistry with another actor though. After, when you peek like that with Crowe's so, yeah, to know that he could still do it again. I thought it was cool. Yeah.

So like, he just makes some odd choices with what to do with his career. That maybe a matter of like, what's offered to him versus, you know, what he wanted. He wants to be doing, I mean, it's more likely now that you'll see him in an exorcism movie than you'll see him in a big drama. He's had a big, like, early 60s Renaissance, he's moved into this horror film kind of.

But he's a Nuremberg that came out this year, this past year. He's fantastic in this. He's such a great, rough, you know, bully with a heart of gold and he's the one with principles in this movie. Yeah.

At point. I'm a big fan of the somebody opens a door and just gets punch right in the face.

I think always works from a comedic standpoint.

Yeah. It's so starting in 2010, Robin Hood next three days, Republic of Doyle, man with the Iron Fist, they misarab, broken city, man of steel, winners' tail, Noah, the winter device, with water diviner and fathers and daughters. Yeah.

That's six years. This was in the running for a biggest actor that we had in the early 2000s. Yeah. It's seven and then's out, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Good. But good. Come back from him. Also some really good stuff from the younger actors in this.

How do we say, Andre Rice? Is that a story, I think? Yeah. On Gory Rice? Yeah.

Marguacuala. Andre Rice though. Andre Rice. Andre Rice. Andre Rice.

Andre Rice has a tremendous little kid performance in this. Amazing. And if you came out of this movie and you were like, which of these two are going to have a bigger career, rice or quality? Yeah, I think Rice would have been like a minus 300.

Favorite. Younger. She was in mayor of East Town.

Yeah.

“But quality, it's funny to watch her in this now because she's a major major star.”

I'm going to give Rice the Sasha Jenkins Award for the actor you can't believe that it would become a bigger star. Just from this movie. Yeah. This is much too much.

There's 25. Yeah. I don't even know. She's 25. Okay.

And then our guy Keith David is in this CR. Great to see him. Into that guy to Craig. I guess. That's his Keith David.

We're not going to lit again. Get that either. I'm glad he didn't go to Detroit, you know.

He came back for the second turn in this movie.

If you go to Michigan, we're cool. Yeah. The nice guys took inspiration from Brett Halliday's novel Blue Murder, which is a pulp book. You have this one. I do not have this one.

Yeah. I need to get this for the book collection. Yeah. Directed and covered by Shane Black, you mentioned his credentials earlier. Last Boy Scout wrote, last action error wrote.

Long kiss tonight, wrote, created the lethal weapon franchise, wrote off them, directed kiss kiss bang bang, wrote, directed Iron Man 3, which was the most successful. Was walking me through Iron Man 3, what happens? The first two thirds are actually really good. Yeah.

The last third is like a bunch of action figures matching against each other. And the kid who finds Misty Mountains in this movie, the kid who discovers her in the beginning is the like star of Iron Man 3. Really? Yeah.

Straight up. Interesting. Well, he started this group for this in '01. It almost became a CBS TV series at some point. And then they changed the set in the 1977 and it fell into place as a movie, eventually.

TV series. I don't. I don't have that one. What about a little early for the prestige TV run, like I've seen this working, but I don't think you get Gosling and Crow to do this.

No. We'll talk more about what they should have done with this franchise later. I feel like the TV part is almost more believable than the idea that it wouldn't be a period piece. Like trying to set this in 2016 or 2010 or something, I don't even know what that story

is. It would just be guys sitting in traffic. Yeah. Well, it allows you a lot more fun, too, with 77 people who have way less rules and good restrictions.

So this movie, 50 million made 62.8, fairly made the money back, Gosling made the point

over to over again about angry birds and also open again, it's neighbors too. Yeah. It was a reprehensible sequel.

“One of the, was that one comedy died Craig, neighbors too?”

What year was that? Oh, it was 2016. Same year. Yeah, it's bad. That might have been the, who were the additions to the neighbors?

You're a person. Well, he greased Maretz was in it because they flipped it for a minute. It's a word. Yeah. It's really bad.

115 minutes to smooth the Craig. Yeah. Great. I'm not going to criticize this being over a hundred minutes at all. This is like my favorite movie last 10 years, so let's go.

Good with me. So plus 15, you're good anyway. Fine. It's so tight. Descript is great.

I have no nose. Okay. Did we do enough about Shane Black? Is he a top five screenwriter for you? I think he's a hugely influential and consequential figure and like him in Joe

Esther Haas in the 80s kind of introduced this idea of like the million dollar spec.

Yeah. He is really, really, really, really, maybe the best ever of the buddy, the buddy. Yeah. The buddy. He grew up on like the 48 hours type of movies and was just like, this is going

to be my recipe. Sure. Just wise cracks and action and good set pieces and I'm going to nail this. He does break your heart sometimes, though. Yeah.

Like they're either big hits like this or it's like. Play dirty. I don't know that I ever looked more forward to a movie than when he did a predator. A movie. Really long and a couple of different ways does not work.

Unfortunately. Roger Ebert said they passed away in 2016. You're going to do 2013 disgrace yourself by asking chatGPT, don't do that. What? Don't do that.

I did. No. ChatGPT said probably three and a half stars, Roger, to give him, he said he had a strong appreciation for great community performances. I think he would have gone three.

“I think he would have been like it's pretty convoluted.”

I think Shane Black was right about humanity, just like we are, we are the absolute shit. Just bottom of the barrel stuff. ChatGPT, Roger Ebert's opinion that it would be done. We don't have Roger Ebert. We don't have Roger Ebert.

I would say three and a half, but I can see the three. Yeah. But I do think he would have really loved gasoline and I think he liked these goofy genre kind of movies like this. You got to really want it with this movie because I do think you're right.

On first watch, you're probably a little confused by the plot. It's a little bit more confusing than the necessary. And then it's like the second, third, fourth type around. We're like, it's the line underneath the line or the site gag happening in the background of a scene like Janet throwing the bowling ball backwards that you're just like holy shit.

This is so funny. Fucking Janet. Well, but then dropping the dead body on the dinner table was funny the first time. Yes.

Every time you see such edex body, collapse that poor dinner party.

It's such edict. We're going to take a break and then we're going to do the categories. This episode is brought to you by Claude from Anthropic. You know that thing where you finish a movie and you immediately have to look up who directed it.

What year it came out? How much money it made? Something. It's one AM. Well, Claude is built for that kind of rabbit hole.

Deep research featuring digs across dozens of sources, pulls it all together, cast connections, box office context, production history. So you're not bouncing between 10 tabs because that stinks. It thinks with you instead of just handing you a quick summary, try it free at Claude.ai/rewatchables. Most rewatchables scene, opening credits with overhead LA right into a car going through

a house. Pretty good start. Yeah.

“I think that overhead helicopter shot is really cool though of the city.”

Yeah. They did that. They landed on their, these like, these houses still exist, by the way. These houses that came like right out of the Brady Bunch sure these, they're mostly in the valley.

They're usually one story and very rarely like you go to a party or drive by one or like for parents as you, when you have kids in here, like you have some sort of drop off or birthday party or somebody's friend's house and you're like, oh my god, that house is like at a 1970s. Yeah.

Like their rich style or always always the one story, like sometimes like the circle

dribbling in front. They have a couple of those in these, but very, very like LA that I'm like that. If you're out there and you got to lead on one of these, hit me. I would like this house. I would like this house.

Rob, we've been in Reno. The car going through the house was nothing though. That was a pretty good, uh, what the fuck is going on there. Does the great way to start a movie? Yeah.

Shane Blacks really smart about like, what will grab somebody's attention? Yes. Well, and we get a new scene in this too. They weren't trying to grab your attention enough. I always ran with her.

We, he would be bringing this up. Yeah.

“Even in the background, the shot of when the kids at the sink and then you see the”

car tumbling down the hill and the ground. Yeah. It's really, it's really well staged. The number of times I've tried to watch this on a plane, including in the inflight entertainment.

And I just have seen it so many times.

I forget about the, like, almost full frontal beauty in the first five minutes.

And so like, oh, I am, I am that guy sitting next to a child on a plane watching the opening scene of the nice guys. Well, thank God van is in here because this would be up five minutes longer. Sure. We'll go to the next scene, um, Jackson beats up March.

This includes the, uh, we're going to play again. It's called "Shut Up and Let's Your Make." Good. But I'm going to say to your kids, by the way, I don't know if I'm going to try that. I'm going to go see this move.

Unbelievable. I like that kid. This will see, including like the TikTok toe of Gosson trying to open the cookie jar and get the gun out and then getting punched to the face. It's just, like, this might be the most rewatchable. I'm going to get to the grocery revolution.

Well, we didn't mention before this scene, he, he punches through the window. Oh my God. This is our open. I can watch him react to his bleeding wrist. So many ties are just like, that's a lot of work.

I like the wraps it like it's going to go really well. Yeah. Um, tell him you have a spiral fracture, the left radio followed by the high-pitched screen. Which is no really funny. No.

Um, gossiping on the, on the John and the bathroom with the gun and the sig. It is pants down. Yeah. Just hilarious. Great job, by him.

It's amazing. This is Holly asking Haley to beat up Janet. Yeah, the whole bowling alley seems very good. I just, it's a small scene, but if fucking kills me and it just be, by kind of humor, but the little kid in the bike.

Bill, this is the most rewatchable scene. Braking about his death. I mean, I think you want to see it. How many categories can this scene win? This kid?

This is also every time. $20. Fucking check. (laughs) Well, check goes cost the guy his life and his life's work.

Really makes me think. (laughs) Not really checked. (laughs) I offered to show my dick 'cause I got a big dick.

All right. (laughs)

“I think the kid's perfectly cast, too, because he really has that.”

I have a big dick confidence. But he's just just 12-year-old. No one's named that, right? Can we get that kid the best fucking acting I've ever seen in my life.

He was like, that's a damn waiter. Yeah. That's a rat. $20. That kid's up there with Jacob Tremblay.

Yeah. The kid serves a fucking young acting. Had anyone keep a straight face during that? I don't think they did. That of course this movie must be insane.

Oh, my God. I would've been fucking died. Oh, fuck. I was just saying this. The big porn party scene, which includes sweetheart.

How many times have I told you don't say and stuff, just say they're a porn skipper? (laughs) And then, you know what? They call him killer bees, though, Jay.

They kill you.

Gosson go over the deck is great.

And the can't speak thing is funny. Everything is great. Yeah. I love the party. I like how weird it is.

There's girls upside down. Yes. When he goes up to one of the dancers, and he just says, "You seem to have a very good vantage point up there." I lost my sister.

Oh, man. I think this has to be the peak. The party? The porn party? Yeah.

It's got the mermaids. Yeah. It's got a bang and soundtrack. It's got a fight. It's got a death.

It really has to have the roll down the hell. It was my pick to. A couple more. The dump of the body over the fence sun and the dinner party into the fight scene is good.

The hot tub. Shooting through the hot tub, I thought, was a bit too much. Yeah. The elevator scene is short, but it's so fucking funny. I mean, it's definitely must give a full moment.

Right before the door opens, he's like, "Hey, they're only a robot." Every Hitler joke in this movie works. They keep going back. They're like, "Hey, they're home."

Yeah. But there's only 30 years prior, you know? He's really interested in Hitler. Yeah. And then when it's going back down in Gosson,

it's like, vibrant. I was like twitching. He was like, "Body flossed." I mean, I was scared. March gets in violence.

Yeah. Two more. The Nixon story. When he finishes. So let's support.

They're two ways to look at some of the ways. Just fucking say it that. And then they bring it back. We need to show you. Yeah.

And then it picked off. They said, "Cool. I don't know if this is a good podcast, but I'm having a really nice time too." Yeah.

Gossling in the fake horn movie, you know, auto, weird auto show. And there's parts of this that almost feel like one of those S&O movies in the 90s, like kind of wrapped up.

Like improv. Like Tommy Boy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, no, our characters are a little elevated version of it, but it's effective. So we all agree it's the porn party. Yeah.

“But I would say if you want to know why this movie is so special,”

it's the chat scene with the kid being like, 'cause I got a big kid. I'm just loving you guys. All right. Just because it's like,

even that whole thing, they're standing in the ashes of a burned-down house. Gossling lights is cigarette. It's just like moving shit around. Yeah.

You're so annoyed. Yeah. Yeah. The most, we have to change this to the most, 1977 thing about this movie.

I think, which includes a gas shortage, killer bees in Brazil. Actually, remember when that happened? Yeah. Being little and be like,

are we going to get killed by bees? It was a thing. That was a thing. It was a real thing. A killer were the mole named John Boy.

Yeah. There's some sunset. Bovard's stuff, including the tower records, which is gone. But it was here when I moved there.

Yeah. Somebody started Robert Klein. Yeah. And then the smog rallies. But I think it's John Boy.

I think it's the winner for this. Yeah. It's actually like Craig. Did you know who John Boy was? Yeah.

I would also go for a guy shaving in their cars. Hmm. The walls was a massive show in the 70s. It's really hard to explain now. Yeah.

I couldn't tell you one thing about it.

“Do you, do you, do you have your dad's family watch that?”

I never watch my dad's family.

My dad's family was like a big wall in his family. Were you ever an electric razor guy? Like portable electric razor guy? Yeah. But the number of people who still will walk around us using those things in public.

It not in their cars so much, but in public spaces, you would be shocked. I like the idea of like doing a lot of shit in your car. Like using the rear rear mirror because you're like, I just live in here. I got to shape up a little bit. It has a big electric razor guy.

I caught him a couple times. As far as the 2016 part. Yeah. But just like an R rated comedy period. Yeah.

Right. I don't know. 2016. We talked about neighbors too. Pop star deadpool.

Everybody wants some edge of 17 Swiss army man, sausage party. Bad moms. Mike and Dave need wedding dates. Bridget Jones is baby. Keanu office Christmas party had to be single dirty grandpa.

Nice guys. We get maybe one of these. Like it's all moved to the genre that doesn't stream or something. Yeah. So funny thing about all those.

We've reviewed lesson. You listed my son was eight and then turned nine that year. And I think we watched all of them because you said that. I'm being dangerous with our R rated comedy stage. So this is how I saw all those for this week.

One of my backup hotstakes was the action comedy is the thing. The most people love that is the hardest to make. The hardest to make. Well, I can count on one hand. Yeah.

Sessful action comedies. Over the last.

“Like you have to nail the one or two actors that are the way it's.”

It has to be done. It's like this in pineapple express. And I don't know. Can you think of any others of this century? Yeah, of like actually truly an action comedy.

Craig's working on a script right now of him and Melanie and Lucas going to the Oscars together. And things go horribly wrong with the vending fair party. I think it's drone strife. Yeah, what else?

They need that third act.

Yeah, get that down. Hotfuzz. Yes. And I would say the Cornell trilogies be there right there. Yeah.

I think it'll come back because I think. There's too many harm movies and not enough.

Yeah.

More comedy than the reaction.

You're right. The other guys is hilarious. We put that in the poll. It was.

“We thought maybe I was hoping it might or steal it.”

Yeah. I mean, it might be the best like opening gag of any comedy in terms. Yeah. In terms of like the the the the the misdirect of what that movie is going to be. Don't you think?

No, like the jumping off of the off top. Right. Right. Yes. Again.

Unbelievable. The even Mendes thing just is one of the funniest. Yeah. Yeah. You're just like that.

The flick on dolly butter in my ass and lollipops in my mouth. The word for something. I just enjoy a great addition to the rewatch. I'm going to throw the challenge flag because it's gone dolly. Gone dolly.

Yeah. You should gone dolly. You didn't bring the challenge flag. You didn't. You just went and brought the challenge flag.

We did this in the mailbag when I do a mispronunciation. A reader wanted this or wanted. Right. Actually. It's really.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag. I didn't bring the challenge flag.

I didn't bring the challenge flag. I'll do it if Rob does it.

“Then they got a rob and he's like, "No, I don't want to do it."”

No, no thanks.

We never get like that in the research.

Did you have a Gondola award? Barely functioning alcohol at private detective. When it works every time. Yeah. I had every time somebody in this movie trips holding a gun and just like shoot somebody.

Yeah. That's how it always works for a movie. It's a great bit. Yeah, it's undefeated. Special award.

We don't get to give this too much. The Robert Duval dress like a priest in swinging and invasion of the body snatchers award for bizarre and credited cameo. Yeah. Robert Downey is the dead guy.

Sit. Sit. The bottom. When he lights the. I had no idea.

It's all the same. Did you guys know this? No, yeah. I knew it from, but only from researching in the past of reading about the movie. Did you know this?

I did not. It's like unmistakable once you know it. Like, of course, that looks like Robert Downey Junior. Yeah. Shame black basically is the bridge to Downey.

The Downey songs where he does kiss kiss bang with him. Does Iron Man three together. And they couldn't get him. Couldn't they get him like not he couldn't get him ensured for kiss kiss bang bang. It was very hard if they did.

The mid 2000s. Yeah. It's hard to do it.

So if not for Shane Black, the Marvel Cinematic universe never really has.

Yes. And nobody pushes back on. I'm sorry. Great. Great.

Well, one thing with this, if I'm going to do an uncredited cameo and Rob's film. I'm probably not doing one way after where it's done to make up. It is surprising. Yeah. I'd rather just have been like the bartender like in the porn movie with Misty Mountains.

Yeah. So just briefly, you see me. Not like just covered with a gunshot wound and sitting outdoors for probably two days. Yeah. You're doing a nice fun about that.

You don't want to be the human statue. Like I'm here and make up for what I said. No to that one. Uh, would say it's the best. We mentioned 70s LA is a setting.

Young Margaret quality just what's happening in the last ten years. Yeah. Fun to see her in this. But don't say end stuff is just funny. Yeah.

I don't know if that is that caught on in real life. It should have. All right. Maybe it maybe there's still time. Marriage is buying a house for someone you hate.

Remember that. Stuff.

“Is there still time for high school yearbook quotes?”

We should probably throw that in there for the for the kids out there. Russell Crowe and the research claim he put on some extra weight for Jackson Healey. That's a me. Yeah, that's like when shack would come back from from this summer. The wakers would be like, I put on some extra weight.

I'm going to lose it as the year goes. Yeah. That's like, okay, shack. I lost my hair right when we went on video. Because I thought it would be good.

Yes. You've commented. Uh, a crow basing your reading and doing anything for you.

I have to admit. Well, it's coming up later. Yeah. I love love the original. This one.

I don't know.

“And then some Hall of Fame lines that we covered.”

Like shut up unless you're me. I'm sorry. You know, so on. Um, and then there's a fantasy criteria. I guess I'm in this.

Where. Gosling's doing Lu Castello with a. Yeah. Not being able to talk. That's like a famous 1930s gag.

So would you have for what's interesting? Uh, CD Los Angeles. Yeah. So porn and strip strip clubs dive bars hotel bars. It seemed awesome.

I loved the setup of the Burbank airport hotel where it's like the flight. Like the flight deck bar.

So there's like a dive bar in the first floor.

But then there's also like a penthouse bar. Um, I would. Yeah, a lot of it seemed like a lot of hotel bars. Two movie theaters. Yeah.

Um, adult bookstores and just kind of creepy places. Yeah. It's just a great transition of it. I also really enjoy the runners that they have. So like the jokes that keep appearing in the in the movie.

Number one being Janet and just like how much everybody. It's Janet. Yeah. We're awesome. Like is it Janet or Jessica?

It's like, Jessica's sister is a slut. Jessica's sister is a slut. Yeah. Also when. When they're trying to figure out a wake up of Amelia.

She's like, or we could just hit her really hard. Yeah. Jessica stealth and VP of this movie. But it's like it. It's just really funny to hear Ryan Gosling talk about kids.

Like they're adults. Right. And that's that. That's a good one. Say.

“It's like adults in the 70s because by the way, that's what we did in the 70s.”

Yeah. He drives his daughter. No one talks about it. Oh no. You just have a 12 year old babysit, five other kids.

Yeah. You'd be out for six hours. My other, what's the age of the best is Hannibal Burris is the killer. Be in the back. When he falls asleep on these driving.

It's always fucking crazy.

It's really great. Yeah. Being suspicious of major corporations. Yeah. Maybe they don't have our best interest in heart.

So it's a big theme these days. Did you guys feel like the catalytic converter Detroit layer of this movie was like a little bit too. It's like, it's like putting a little bit too much garnish on the sandwich like it. It's really great. There's the missing girl.

There's the porn stuff. There's all this like conspiracy. But then you add on Detroit automakers being the main villain of it. Yeah. It's all.

You know, they're going for it. Yeah. Because it perpetuates humor. Right. Because you then you get to lean into the smog stuff.

Then you get the protesters with the gas mask. Yeah. Because like because they're poking fun at the whole time. Like that's why. I think you get Gosling saying,

We're all going to be driving Japanese going to come. I guarantee it. You have any other what's the age of the best. Gosling himself. I mean, like he's a star.

Then, but he is something else now. Yeah. Great shot, Gorda. Keith David hitting the pool deck. Oh, and he just turns in a red.

Yeah. But he's that overhead shot of Gosling and him falling. Yeah. It's like that. Chess Rockwell, Brocklanders were a best character name.

We don't always give this out.

But we do it. Misty mountains and John boy. Just a killer name. John boy was really smart. I like it.

“And Misty mountains is like if you have to come up with a Christy Canyon.”

Yeah. That's great. Pretty easy. What about porn Newcchio? Yeah.

From the, I mean, the man from the Billboard himself. Yeah. And you're in the flywalk in the wood. Like it's, uh, not just knows the gross. Ha ha ha.

Amanda Dobbins aware of for best piece of real estate. We don't get to give this out all the time. But shit, shit. Sid Shaddicks house was the Atlanta home of hip-hop producer Dallas Austin. Yeah.

Also featured at MTV Cribs. So a true Dobbins award. Yeah. Atlanta as LA. Full scale balance for this.

I like Gosling's house too. Yeah. Yeah. We cutty pursuit of happiness for best needle drop. We can either go with kiss.

I want a rocket roll or night or America horse with no name. Oh, I had get down on it. The cool in the gang. Yeah. Which is a special band.

Yeah. Yeah. Because we get September at the porn party. Also, like Al Green closing credits. Al Green closing credits as long.

Bands playing on the roof of a party is pretty cool. Pretty cool. What do you have for your flex? Okay. So I have a couple.

I'm going to go with. It's a book about metals award for belatedly best quote is at the. Clean air protest when Gosling goes. Which one of you got involved? What's the funny books?

I got a wish you would just like walk out to the bullpen or the ringer and say that. Maybe our new sick bar studio. I'll just do that. What's the month? Sean Penn.

I brought my way back where goes to Gosling. And he got game hookers scene. Most awkward scene of somebody randomly walks in is when Holly is watching porn. With the adult. Talkin' buddy.

Yeah. Yeah. And stuff.

Those are good.

Which is girlfriend award for week length of the film.

I don't know. I like this movie. I struggled. I came up with one bit. I don't feel great about it.

Let's talk this out. Is this movie better worse or the same. If Holly stays home for like. Half of the adventures that they go on. So it's interesting because I had her as the week length too.

And I like the performance. I like the performance. And I had a different angle on it though. Okay. The incredibly savvy 13-year-old girl with the heart of gold.

It's a little bit a little bit of movie trophy. Yeah. These people don't really exist.

“I think the purpose is to nudge healing.”

Right. To nudge Russell Crowe's character. Right. Because if she's not around, he's murdering everybody. Sure.

And so like the turn of the heart of the movie. I think comes through her being there and him stopping. It isn't like that the two people she wants to save her. John Boy and Blue Face. She's like these two guys really almost.

Yeah. Look, they try to shoot her. Yeah. What do you have for week length? See, Evan?

I think this is Kim Basinger. I had her in a later category. She's the one thing in this movie that's like a little off register. That kind of takes me out of it. And it's like clearly she can do this genre.

Yeah. But in this mode, in this kind of part, she sticks out a little bit. It's tough because you wonder whether or not she did like four days on the movie.

Because she's in two scenes basically.

And they were like, yeah. Here it is. And she had no idea how Zany the rest of the movie was. Yeah. She's in it.

Honestly, you could give her. I had her for what say she's a worse. You could give her in the. Let's see what we have. The Judd Nelson.

New Jackson. It's a different movie. Yeah. She's just every time she's in the movie. It's another movie's happening.

Yeah.

“I think what makes it more noticeable is Tally.”

Yeah. Yeah. It costs it. Like she feels of a piece of everything that's happening. And so then the contrast between her and Kim Basinger is just like that much more

stark. Yeah. But ahead, we can come back to this. But I had for recast and couch trying to figure out who would have been a good Kim Basinger and part for that.

That was good. Because I think I do think it's got to be somebody who's a little bit funny, but you don't want to go like Sean Young, Ace Ventura like over the top. But I think it's got to be somebody that's got a little sauce to them. Okay.

She just doesn't have sauce. Who's your idea? I had a lot of trouble figuring it out. Because it would have to have been said. I wanted somebody like probably in their mid 50s at the time, right?

But somebody that was famous. Yeah. So it's somebody. It's really like Maryl Streep in the early 2000s. You think Holly Hunter would be too old?

Hmm. I don't mind that. Holly Hunter is a good one. Holly Hunter. Frates is a good one.

Holly Hunter. Frates is a good one. Holly Hunter. Frates is a good one. Holly Hunter.

Frates is a good one. Holly Hunter. Frates is a good one. Holly Hunter. Frates is a good one.

Frates is a good one. Holly Hunter. Frates is a good one. Holly Hunter. Frates is a good one.

Frates is a good one. point in 2016, but in the mid 2000s, I think would have been really good. It's got to be somebody who was sexy, older, but also had some comedy chops. Do you more? I was wondering about like, do we just have to be collapsed the space time continuum and just make to me more Mark or quality's mom? I wonder if she does something similar to what pacing or does. So it's kind of like what kind of comedy is she done though? I don't know. I can't do it. It would be tough. Would it be too meta to just do Andy McDowell?

Oh, Rob. Like, it's right there. Well, Rob, you did it. You were deemed yourself for them or rather episode. Yeah, Andy McDowell can do comedy. Yeah, oh, that's a great idea. Why didn't they do that? I don't know. I mean, maybe this is at the point of Mark or quality's career where she doesn't want that too, but maybe it happens now.

“Yeah, because you could meet a movie since together since I think so. Yeah. It's a really good point that it doesn't seem like basing or knows what movie she's in.”

Because it's just she's just playing at straight and there's no extra sauce to it at all. Just don't really get it. I don't. I don't get what they're trying to do. You don't have a when they filmed it. They could have filmed that scene earlier in the movie. And then it got way zaneer throughout the filmmaking. Because when you watch the behind the scenes, the making of like even Matt Bomer who plays John Boy is like, this movie's fucking funny. Like that you got to know about it. And Kim Basinger just seems to be like, you know, it's a very complicated story by LA and crime. Yeah, I love she in black's writing. Yeah, she thinks she's in LA coverage again.

And the other would stage the worst, I had trouble finding what stage the worst because I think this movie's age really well. And it's also set in the 70s when it's supposed to.

Yeah, I think I had was there is an element of dead if the downtown Atlanta to some of the exterior shots of LA. So like the vibe is always great.

Sometimes you can tell like the streets are a little too narrow or there's too much, you know, like foliage in different places. Like when you're watching dead of the years, you can tell that's not Guardian and like, you know, I've seen dead of the same. I've seen dead of the same. And you shot this in downtown Atlanta. You have any would say George. It's a perfect movie. Hans Gruber scale villain ranking. Blue face is like at nine. Yeah, John Boy solid. John Boy, I thought it was like at least a seven and a half.

Yes, he's something though. John Boy, it's like, it's kind of like, are you expecting a little bit more a little bit of Darren Peterson vibes from John Boy,

Yeah, I've got me missed 200 shots.

Yeah, he does get out by two teenage girls pretty quickly. How foxed. But he is menacing. Like, he's creepy. And I say this with full acknowledgment, like, look, I don't want to put this out there, but I literally have the same haircut as him. So there's not a great energy that we're putting out in the world.

But he shows up and he's definitely served the intended effect. John Boy, great, great name for a villain. Rufflow, Hannah Rubin, a part of Jover acting word. Blue face dialing it up the whole time. And then quality has that one monologue when she at one point. She's like, he's not a poor.

Just like start screaming for some reason. So it's one of those two. Rob, you have a flex. I do. Uh, I went with the Rick Cessetti guard meat award. Most member will death by security guard or other bystander of the movie. Treats his inconsequential burrow as a spouse and kids who love them. Specifically, there is a hard working out the actor out there in Hollywood.

Got a job. It's not the best job, but it paid. They showed up. They're just trying to support their family. Your job is to be a tree man at this porn party on still screaming. And you're just taking straight. Like, just takes a stray bullet to the chest. On what otherwise was like a normal job in your family.

You have a mask on as you die or helmet, whatever the fuck he's got on. Imagine being that guy's wife who then has to explain. Do you think he gets a sad card for this guy? Identify the body. Oh, God.

That's a good one. Uh, we'll take one more break and then we got how to stay. Is dein gabin start club food in Freeling? By action in quality and that kleinste price hand in hand. For example, Greenwood's Dünger Granulat, but only 1,2 and 20.

Or Blumentop from the Hegelton Kunststoff, but 70 cents. And there are now all kinds of products in our field. And in action, action, kleine price, cross in Freude. All right. The CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been here. Support how to take a word.

Threatening to be renamed as the Nirvana was over 8. Rob money. Thanks, Nirvana is over 8 of a word. What do you have for how to stay CR?

We should be actively awaiting the third movie of this series.

Right now and not pining for it when people get interviewed for other movies that they're in. It's ridiculous. This is such an enjoyable movie. You could kick it ahead five years and do like 1982 nice guys.

Like what are we doing? Why can't we make more movies like this and more. So you could you could do mid 80s at least. You could do like Simpson Brookheimer, hi to the cocaine Hollywood era and just Also run it back.

“The I can't remember the actual literal title, but like they were like”

what we would do is go to Mexico. It would be nice guys in Mexico. Which would have just been like come on man. I'm just trying to decide who to blame. Like we know the Angry Birds are to blame.

But I'm willing to back it up. Like Steve Jobs introduces the iPhone. Seriously. American civilization knows dives including the creation of the games that become Angry Birds that then outgrow nice guys at the box office.

We have got things so famous now that I just feel like he could say. Hey, it's time I want to do nice guys too. Are they really saying no to that? If you wanted to he could. Like a streamer is going to be like, no, we're not funny.

I mean David Ellison now owns Warner Brothers who made this movie. Ellison it feel like be into this. You think so? Yeah. Yeah, his tastes seems to be pretty.

Dave's got some edgy taste. I think he likes belly cups. I think he's like this jet joke was. It's like we get the kid with a big dick again. What do you ever had a steak?

We talked about Gosling. Yeah. He's on fire in this movie.

“I think this is the best the Russell Crow has ever been.”

Period. No. I'm sorry during CR a month. I don't mean it's either. That is.

So that to me is the only real competition. That take his. He's not really good at this. So he is home. God.

He is the action star of this movie. Like he is in every fight. He is in every shootout. He is genuinely hilarious in terms of like he's getting a chance to play a role.

He's never allowed to play.

Which is this sort of comedic role. And he's the beating heart that like rounds out the whole movie and makes it to me a rewatchable. Like if this is just depraved and funny. That's nice and you move on. But it's like it does have a feel good element that comes from him.

And I think he is the piece that kind of brings it all together in a way that even Gosling doesn't. It's hard for me to get too mad at that when I think proof of life was. It was a picture. Interesting take though.

“I think what's missing is like there was a time like way earlier when.”

You know, he was a really handsome like Lee Madd. But also like gladiator Russell Crowe. Yeah. I just don't think there's a lot of people who could have been gladiator Russell Crowe. You don't think so.

No, I don't. I think it kind of gets dog walked by walking and that movie to be honest with you. Really. Like he's good. He's really good in it.

Dog walks. Totally. But he's like who is owning the presence of that movie. He like isn't look. A lot of his just character.

Just playing a pretty straightforward like heroes journey.

All of that stuff. Right.

There's not a lot for him to do this exciting.

And he holds it and he's good in it. And like should he have one best actor for gladiator. That's for that one. Are beautiful. He went for both.

No, he only went one. I think he went. I think he went for gladiator. Yeah, one for gladiator. I don't know.

Maximus was pretty great. Yeah. What do you stand on this Craig? Are you gladiator, guy Greg? Craig?

Um, I'm closer to Rod on this to be honest about gladiator and crow. It's a traditional role. Yeah. It's a little limited. It's a generational thing.

I don't know. I do think insider is that's the one. If you're like. If you're going to pick someone. On my command.

Only shell you're not like. Let's go. Let's do it. I'm like. Let's go.

But could you plug another actor and then say the same thing.

I'd still be like. Let's go. I think I would. Could you play only one for gladiator? Not beautiful.

“I think concept sounds going to just dive through the window right now.”

Tech Robb. My hardest take was also Russell Russell corroborated. I think he was this kilo Neal backters. Hall of Fame potential. You could see it early in the 90s.

Like this guy. Something's going to happen. Even goes head dead with Denzel. Career apex from 2000 to 2002. Just like shack.

Three finals MVP's for shack. Three best actor nominations in a row and a win for Russ. Crazy. Sure to want a couple more MVP's. Kind of didn't totally want it on the little sideways.

Couldn't really stay in a shape. Which was like a shack thing. I think nice guys in the Miami title. As the sidekick with Wade. That's a really good one.

Like a combo of that.

And I still think he's a pantheon guy from the last 50 years.

But I feel like he left. A little on the table. So it's an 11 year run. I felt like I could have been like. He's this analogy out.

That means last night. Russell Crow went live right after the Oscars. It was like Michael, be Jordan mate. Could have done a little bit more and impressed me. Playing twins.

I did that. I did that. We didn't even have special effects. You forgot budding musical careers too. That's right.

Very important part of the Billy Bob Thornton. Kind of more interested in rocking out than acting maybe. Who to blame him? Yeah. Cast him with ifs.

None. Two or like the movie just came out.

“And also would you really change that much other than basing her?”

The big one was that the mailing the scripts to the two guys. And then being like, how many of these in which doesn't really seem to happen? That's that guy word for the casuals. Keith David. Yeah.

Stealth. Bone app. Who plays blue face? Yeah. I don't even know where he's from.

I had lowest myth as the old lady with the cobalt glasses. On Meg from Twister. Yeah. Oh, that's who that was. I don't know.

That's a good one. I do think boat is bone app not just doing Sasha Baron Cohen as blue face. Is that not like the energy. Is that a good thing? Every time this movie comes on, I think Sasha Baron Cohen in this movie.

Fairly not. Deon waiters. Muriel Telo is misty mountains. Blue face. Keep going.

But it's the little case. The game's Lance Valentine. Is that what his name is? He's only one scene, right? Perfect, Deon.

Legendary Deon performance. We did recasting couch unless you guys have anything else for that. Oh, Craig give a flex. So I created a new category. I just think no one knows how to open a movie and set the tone.

Quite like Shane Black. And it made me think of when Kobe Bryant plowed through Powell. Oh, yeah. On the redeem team, which is like Misty Mountains plowing through the build. The home to start this movie.

And if you go back and you look through Shane Black's movies. Leave the weapon starts with the naked stripper committing suicide off the hotel. Last Boy Scout starts with the football player pulls out the whistle shoots the guy before scoring the touchdown. And you have this movie.

“So I think it's the Kobe Bryant shoving Powell.”

Guess all the word for the best tone setting opening move. And Shane Black has the belt right now. Wow. He's also just. Pretty good.

If you read his scripts, they're grabbed you by the little pal. Yeah. Keep reading. Also, I love one an opening scene. I guess this is my condolate.

I love an opening scene has characters that aren't involved with the rest of the movie. Yeah. It's just like a tight. Like a cool package. Yes.

Yeah. There's so many of those throughout this movie, too. Like the two women who walk by the porn party being like, well, if you want me to do that, you shouldn't eat in the asparagus. It's just like that.

That's happening constantly in this movie. Right at it. Uh. Half veteran research. Not a lot at this point.

We had the Atlanta thing. Russell Crowe said it was one of two films where he wish there was a sequel. He said this on Howard Stern. The other was LA confidential. Which ironically we're doing next week in the rewatchables.

Unintentional that this happened. Uh. The book, Holly, was reading from is called "A Cataman the Pigeons" by Agatha Kirstie. Mm-hmm. I was really all otherwise we mentioned it.

I did like you mentioned the Abbot and Castello thing earlier with Gosling. And the part of that I liked was the reason you got into Abbot and Castello is because his parents wouldn't pay for blockbuster. So the only movies you could get were from the public library. Found Abbot and Castello. Which thing?

From me personally. Gosling with this in the LA land. Yeah, I think we're here. This is the definition of it, right? It's not quite Wang Chong, Apex Mountain, but it's apex Mountain.

But, again, I'm perpetually. You missed the Wang Chong combo in the last one. I'm just confused by this category. Regardless of any Wang Chong happening. Wang Chong's 185 was the all-time Apex Mountain.

That's ever happened. Yeah, yeah. The Apex of Apex Mountain. It's now Wang Chong's Apex Mountain. Like the so-fi stadium.

Yeah, I'm glad for the branding. Yeah.

“Does he not have like more cachet post Barbie than after a while?”

So this gets into what kind of Apex Mountain. What kind of mountain do you like being on? Is it when it seems like it's all out in front of you? Or are you just at the height of your earning potential? We had in the mailbag, we had a mathematician right in about the post Apex.

You can actually, it's kind of the, you've still got it. Combined with maybe you were higher, but it wasn't quite Apex Mountain.

But it was like, you actually it was like the career 2002 basically.

Yeah. So Barbie was probably that for gasoline. Do you think you'll go see Projectile Mary? My son wants to see it, so it's in play. Okay.

But then it would be like, yeah, so I'll let's go with my girlfriend. Sorry. What's the whole of it? Just the sci-fi. That's what's keeping you out.

No, I want to see it. There's really good buzz on it. Yeah. You haven't seen him right? I'm seeing it tonight.

Two hours and 45 minutes. Oh, look at the big boy! What does he say? Look at the big freak for eight on the front. And I'm mad.

Man, I fucked that up. Uh, eight Pecks Mountain for 1977. Just in general, is the greatest you've ever produced in the world. I was born that year. Yeah, but great year.

Star Wars. Pretty good stuff. Reggie Jackson. Yeah. Uh, Keith David Fightsing and sadly no.

It's still they live. Is this him and they live? No, that was him. Is he a good him? Is he a good brox?

He's trying to, in the alley.

“Did I just do the thing where I confused Keith David and Avery Brooks?”

We keep David is in there. Keith David's in there. What? He's looking like I was crazy. I didn't.

Keith David and Roddy Pecks. It was him. No, not me.

First of all, I didn't say the use I can guess yourself.

But again, I said guess myself. It's Keith David and Avery live. Keith David. I didn't know the way Keith. Yeah.

Shane Black. Probably. No. Don't Iron Man 3. Iron Man 3.

Iron Man 3, but nothing kind of happened after that. I would say. Yeah. One of the lethal weapons. It's a lethal weapon.

One is his apex mountain. I think. Angry race? I hope not. Yeah.

Too early to say. Quality. Too early to say. Dad, daughter movies. Probably not.

No. Basing or no. The 1978 auto show. I think I might have been. For sure.

Yeah.

Not a lot of talk about that show.

They're in this. John Boyne, the Walton's probably still the Walton's. I think she was the number one show from a very nice guy. Yeah. Fair.

Breaking a window going wrong. Might have been. Might have been the peak. I can't think of another example. His funny is against for sure.

1967 Red Mustangs were the way convertible top. Yep. For a movie. Pretty good. Retro porn portraits.

Bogenets. Yeah. Cruiser Hanks. Cruiser as John Boyne. Like he's interesting.

He just shows that you don't. You don't. Was that your bad wig? Yeah. He's like five lines.

Your women better if you would play Shaddock. Yeah. Yeah. Cruiser, one of these supporting parts who you hear about. And then just shows up.

Could Hanks have been Russell Crowe's character? I had Hanks for Holland March at a different time in his life. It's kind of like right after late. Yeah. Yeah.

You could do that. I like Cruiser for John Boyne. I think that has my phone. You can't be fun. You down with that, Craig.

But the official winner we're saying is Hanks for lead role. Yeah. In terms of a lead role. Score saves your spielberg. Clearly score saves it.

Definitely. Way more coke at the party. Yes. You would have tops from the Rolling Stones. No, no daughter because you just want to get way darker.

Way more right. Yeah. Has people already ever done something like as getting his hands dirty as this? No way. I can't think of anything.

Best thing. Where's Tang?

“I mean, ironically, Gosling's daughter in this movie is probably the best thing about these people.”

Blue faces, the worst thing. Blue face. Tough cross country drive. Blue face would be awful. I would spend the night hanging out with with Gosling in a bar.

That'd be a lot of fun. I don't hang out with Amelia. I am one legal substance away from being very on board. It's like big speech about her mom. Like, man, it's her god.

Yeah. I'm on board for that. Worst thing, Chet. Chet. I like Chet.

Just talk about the projected. I'm in the industry. I'm a projectionist. I'm a projectionist. Come on, Guy.

Pickin' it. 13-year-old kid's driving. I'm not even sure this was happening in 1977. It was manual steering. Yeah, that was...

That would have been tough. Do you have an upper body strength to control a car like that? No, it's a choice. How did Amelia land on their car and not like die immediately? How far did she fall?

I just said questions about that. No, they think the camera kind of pans up.

She climbs down. She climbs down and hops down. She jumps? Yeah. That's probably 15 foot jump.

But she's putting in a lot of mileage in this movie barefoot. Yeah. Like just running all over the city.

“And I think that dress is probably a lot more banged up.”

There's three days. I think there's probably some coffee on it and all kinds of things. How did they so easily get into Missy Mountain's house a couple days after the murder? And why was all the evidence still sitting there? Well, they have her aunt with them.

Yeah. I know. But when they picked up like specific evidence of people that were in her life and brought it. Or did that just not have it in 1977? I mean, there was a handwritten note from Chet just sitting there.

Yeah. When they brought that into the station. They also get into just the complete absence of cops in this movie. They show up a couple times.

Way after the fact and never detaining.

Right. That's true. Jackson and March despite the fact that there's like seven dead bodies. How do they never go to prison in this movie? I don't know.

That could have been nice guys three. Could have been a jail. He can't smell. They joke. Did you know what a nose Mia was?

I did not. Was that real? I who knows if that's real or not. His daughter kind of says this is why mom died because she couldn't smell. Because the gas leak.

Yeah. But you can't smell a gas leak. I don't think. I still enjoyed it. To me, that's the very like gremlins to my dad died coming down the chimney as Santa kind of like.

Weird anecdote into tragic backstory that I can definitely appreciate.

“I have one more, but what did you have any nitpicks?”

No. We kind of hit most of them with a bunch of age the worst. I think that the thing I would nitpick the most at is the. It's slightly like convoluted plot. Like like that kind of thing with like obviously she saw the movie that they were watching, which means there's another movie, which means we have.

She was watching in a wall. I think Healy pulling together the whole case because he saw a suit on a rack in the office that one time. Yes. It's like maybe a bit much, but it feeds into something I really like about this movie, which is.

They basically never catch a break because they're good.

They basically always catch a break because they're lucky. Like Amelia literally falls on their car. And that kind of stuff is happening constantly. And there's there's a lack of heroism in the movie in the sense that like they don't save Amelia. No, she's very unceremoniously dispatched by a job.

That was one of the things I like was it's it's really a shocking when she gets shot. Yeah. But it's that kind of movie. Yeah. It's the kind of movie where not only is she going to get shot.

It's not going to cut away. Like you were just going to see her in cold blood getting murdered and left in the street. It's also because it. It makes like angry racist character being present for all of it a little bit more dangerous because like that can happen retroactively. Yeah.

This is my big one. Craig, this is this is why I'm a Hall of Famer. This next then pick. Gossing twice in the movie is in a body of water. And then spoke to cigarette like five minutes later.

Those cigarettes are wet. No, not lighting. No chance. Oh, it's you hack. Yes.

Packing is pocket done. Yeah. It's a wrap. It's not lighting. So he's in the tank with the mermaids.

But he's like in boxers in that.

What's the second body of water when he falls into the pool gets out.

It's cooked. There's no fucking way. No chance. Light in the cigarette. Yeah.

So all that whole packs wrap. It's all there are soggy. They're falling apart. But they'll sometimes. That's where we need the cigarette consultancy companies.

You're just win. Yeah. That's true. And also he can't die. Yeah.

That's the revelation. Yeah. Yeah. So the idea you mentioned Chris was nice guys to Mexican detectives. Yeah.

“That's what Crow and Gosling wanted to do.”

Billion dollar idea. Come on. I also would accept if they did this the way that that looks to Sherlock. Where it's just like once every like three or four years. They just do a three episode thing.

Probably be awesome. Well, this has happened a couple of times in movies. And I'm pretty sure it happened in the anchor man. Because I don't think anchor man crushed it at the box office. But then became beloved over the next couple of years.

To the point where we're like, why don't we do anchor man too. That'll fucking crush. Yeah. This happened with Austin Powers too. Sure.

The first one did okay. It wasn't great. But became a cult movie. And then and then two was a monster. I would just be bigger.

It would be. But I would worry at this point. Crow might be a long and no long in the tooth to do it. I think the only reason that could work is because it is kind of the movie. Right.

Like they're so run down that however many years pass before they make it. It could kind of fit who these guys are. It's kind of sacralage. But could you. Could you do this and not have them as the partners?

I don't think it's the same. Could you have gossip? Could you have Crow like retired getting sucked back in? But there's a new partner and there's three people in that too? No.

I don't think it works. I don't know. That's exactly what they would do. They would put a young person down. Who's in it?

Who's the youngest? Is this like a milestone? I wish I'd imprint this on. Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins? I can figure the florist.

Zainlow. Robert Losier or anybody else. What do you think CR? Zainlow, interview and John Boyer. Then you're Jenny here from New York City.

Everybody's talking about it here in the streets of Los Angeles.

But what are you going to do to forge your own character?

Show you have a mole. Sure. And that and that some people would look that as a handicap. But man, it's your power. I see that as your power.

Again, South African. I can't stop making Zainlow South Africa. Maybe we should have you as Leo and Blood Diamond as Zainlow. Maybe you just combine the two. Get the twin and other parts.

I don't know what to say. It's really something. Is Blood Diamond a rewatchable for you? Did we do Blood Diamond? We didn't.

We didn't. When you were in university. We said yes. We did. Yeah, we have.

Yeah, we've done Blood Diamond, dude. We have because the eighth thing. Are you sure we did? We had a whole conversation about whether he's HIV positive in this movie. Hold on.

I got to find out when we did it because boiler alert. Yes. Blood. Definitely. We definitely did it.

It's June 2023. This is. So in the bill zone. What? I don't remember this.

No, but I don't remember. I don't remember.

Oh, I always don't remember.

2,000 and 2,000. 21 because the COVID vaccine sure. But I 23. I remember. No, because you chose to podcast eight times a week during COVID.

But I'm sorry. I didn't do. He was our family. Well, we did that three years ago. Who do we do with?

I think it might have just been you and me. It was. Yeah. Well, I'm going to say. That's great.

“I think I remember Sean's face when I told him we were doing Blood Diamond.”

He's like, cool. Like, bomb daddy wasn't on it or thought it was the minute. It probably was a little bit of both. But he was. And then I remember telling him, like, yeah, Bill,

and I really tried to unpack whether Danny Archer has HIV. And that movie. And John was like, cool. Glad I skipped that one. Yeah, now I remember it.

Yeah. Which is so many podcasts for really are. than 427 28 rewatchables. Talking about Joel and Beat and Luca, whether he could put it together. Bam out of basketball in 83 points.

And up on together. Who's the most name checks non-seltics player on the rewatchable. Steve, thank you. That's a really good question. Joel, if you like, might be up there.

Just for the antagonist for the joke. Like, you're just... He wanted us once a month. We'll just be like, oh, this would be like if and Beat could actually play five games. It's, honestly, probably, probably Jordan, right?

Yeah. I mentioned different like Jordan kind of parallels. Makes sense. Something. Some day we'll have AI and we'll just be able to ask AI.

And it'll just listen to every rewatchables in one second.

And then be like, was actually. She killed O'Neal. And then I'll speak like Roger Ebert. Yeah. Just want to ask her who gets it.

Gosling. Gosling. Script. That's probably the second. It's really good.

But I think a lot of what's great about this movie are his reactions. Like, there's moments that wouldn't really jump off the page. Like, when they go to the dive bar in the hotel. And they are like, you know, have you seen Amelia and he's just like, I just work here.

“He's like, yeah, I know that's why I'm asking you.”

That's not like hilarious. They got the page. But it's so funny. Like the way they do it. He also chases every time that character thinks they're being smart.

He like winks at somebody or does like a little eyebrow raise. Yeah. He sells everything so hard and so well. Do you like my friend? He's where she is.

I made it myself. So, KCF like wins for Manchester by the sea that you're gasoline nominated for Lala land. Yeah. The other three were Den's Allen fences. Vigo Morton sitting captain fantastic.

Get him out. What have you want to go double. Double Gosling or Andrew Garfield and Hacksaw Rich. And we were just that one can go. What a drought.

Yeah. That was like on page of stack of it was fourth and MVP. There we go. Let's get page of numbers. Get the page out.

Where does it go? Is it his kid playing now? He's playing somewhere. He's been nominated twice. So, could Gosling potentially have been nominated twice.

And was that ever happened? I know it has. I didn't think anyone's been in the same category with two movies. Did Leo not? Did he not for it?

Wasn't blood diamond and catch me if you can. No. It wasn't similar. Was the part it and? Or is the part it and blood diamond?

Did he not get double nominated for those? Is the same year 2000? No. Until this. So, that would have been 2007.

I think what's. It's happened a few times where somebody's gotten best in supporting. Yeah. But not too best. The most recent Scarlett Johansson marriage story in Jojo Rabbit was lead and supporting.

Yeah. Leo only got one there. Okay.

“Did you find out where pages to record, which is kid goes to college?”

I think it's Illinois. Okay. I don't know. I could be wrong. Oh, oh, seven.

Best actor in a supporting role. Alan Arkin one. Jackie Earl, hairlie and little children. Yeah. Diamond Hunsu and in Blood Diamond Eddie Murphy dream girls.

Yeah. I'm not a fucker.

We need to do the reread departed too.

Apparently I can't remember any podcast we've done. Probably an answer to the questions.

“How long did the nice guys they just see keep going before Jackson Haley died of a massive heart attack?”

Right. Or two years later. It gets his child taken away by protective services. Imminent. Did we have protective services on the way?

It's up here for us. Yeah, I don't. Yeah. I don't like we did. I was left alone for four or five hours.

I just found out relatively recently about kids being in car seats until they're a certain weight. Now, instead of age. So it's like you could be in a car seat until you're like seven or eight, right? Theoretically, that seems extreme. I was like rolling around the back of a potty act when I was like three.

And you turned out great. Yeah. I told Rob when we did the mail back from my pod. I wanted to put con in a car seat. I didn't want him to get hurt, but he's huge.

Yeah. Couldn't really do it.

I used to, my dad would drive me home from from school sometimes.

And I would get to sit like on his lap on the scene front of him and drive. And then one time I looked down and noticed his hand was on the bottom of the wheel. When he was really driving. I was like, fuck. I thought I was driving.

Yeah. It's whole time. I was like five. Would you, but can you imagine seeing anyone do that now? Or there's this little kid driving 30 miles an hour in the front seat.

It's steering wheel. Like right there. But that's what we did in the subject. If it was to keep it the big dick from the back of the head and let it go. Yeah.

So a mail bag, a mail bag that we did. That rubbed in here yet because we haven't run yet, but it was before this podcast. We changed the memorabilia question slightly to secret handshake memorabilia from the movie. Oh. So it's still the memorabilia from the movie.

“But it's, it's an item that you have to really love the movie to get.”

It's a list of mountains poster. That would be good. Or maybe people would get that too easily. Well, a poster for how do you like my card big boy? That would be good.

My personal one, which is a little bit more on the memorabilia side, but I. I kind of, if anybody knows, please email. I think they may have made it for the movie. Is the navy blue mesh bat Dodgers hat that Gosling wears for the two scenes. What when he punches the window and when he's at the hospital.

You think it was custom merch? I can't find a navy blue Dodgers mesh hat 70s or otherwise. Maybe I'm wrong. Interesting. What do you have for this wrap?

Secret handshake one is tough because yeah, there's not a lot of signature items. I would go for the pink cow posted notes, which I'm going to then send everyone. I know. Any time I have an important flight/hotel room to mark on a piece of paper. Brett.

We're in business. I would love if you, it would be great if you could get a blow up poster of the Jackson and Holland's detective agency ad. Oh, yeah. They'll be in all of its Filipino or maybe Mexican glory.

That's right. Coach Finstack, Mr. Miyagi, where for Best Where's Life Lesson, which people want at least one person wanting to be cognizant from cocktail, which I guess this could be a cognizant. Sometimes you just win.

Yeah. You do. About sometimes there's two ways to look at something. Best double feature choice. Would you go shame back?

So I had just because it also brings in the Detroit part of a crime film is no sudden move, which is the Stephen Sutterberg movie from a few years ago with Don Chitle. Yeah. That's a great one. Kiss kiss bang bang feels too easy almost.

I like that angle. I would almost go like drama comedy. Like let's you like a Michael Clayton or Pelican Breed. Yeah. Another like corporate conspiracy kind of movie like that.

Speaking of kiss kiss bang bang. Chit. Is this Val Kilmer? I know. Jack Kilmer.

Jack Kilmer. Um, I have the other guys.

I would have this first then the other guys.

Okay. I can just do guys guys. Guys. Guys. Guys.

And then we have Gosling when in the movie. We do. I think he has to. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig. You wanted this for a while. Yeah. This is just all time or for me. Probably.

“I think it's the best comedy of the last 10 years.”

Um, since 2016, not that there's a time it's competing against. But I love to leave the web of movies with you. You guys introduced me on the rewatchables. And like you said, the buddy caught the dark action comedy, buddy caught comedy. I think is my number one favorite genre and movies.

This movie in particular strikes a really delicate tone. It's it's pretty impressive that they kill Margaret quality. Uh-huh. Jessica gets thrown through a glass window. Yep.

And there's no love interest in this movie, which I really like. Except for Tally, briefly. Well, there's like hold off. Yeah. Yeah.

There's like, wish you walk free. He's like, you look great. Yeah. And then she throws a pair of scissors at Harley's head. But I don't know.

I love that. I love that. It's just like about these two guys. There's no kiss at the end. Um, it's, it's perfect to me.

I rewatch it every couple of years. Everybody have watched it with likes it. It's just universally beloved.

I love that I can end too. Like, gossling, welling up tears in his eyes, holding up the film real. And it's like, sometimes you do just win. Yeah. Again, it's, it's inexplicable.

It's indefensible. But they looked into it.

We never did the what happened the next day with the film real.

Hmm. Like, did I ever do anything with it? Like, was it, was it a huge story? Was it a national story? Well, they say no one like this.

Can basing or didn't face any consequences? Or she gets centiprism, but the companies don't, aren't held by it. Well, we should discuss this. The entire plan of making a porn movie that has a message in it to show. Yeah, we've got to show off.

This is the commercial element. It's a horrible plan. I mean, just like, you have the information sent it to like a new station. Right. You'd expect to like sometime in 77.

They're still riding high off water gate. Cause they have something not even because Nixon's still in, And they're like, go to the cops. And she's like, my mom is the cops. Yeah.

Okay. You could find a journalist out there who would take a story and write about it and blow up. Yeah. They do ask her. And she says that they control the media too.

That's fine. I like it because it's from the perspective of like, Stoned out market-quality logic. Like, that's the only mechanism that can solve this problem. It's also the movie takes, it's not like the messages in the very beginning of the porn movie either.

“Like, you have to kind of sit down and watch it.”

Yeah. Which also makes no sense. When I do love the line, they made a porn where the plot is the point of the movie too. Yeah. That's kind of.

This was like the last era where they were making porn films. Where they were actually kind of go for it with the plot. Yeah. And with how they filmed it and actually spending money on it. Which as Boogie Dites covered, where Jack Horner's like really trying to make it.

Yeah. And he had to do it. Anybody's like an experimental filmmaker who's also doing these things. Ironically, we were texting about this yesterday about porn. The new Beth cinema.

That's right. Oh, sure. Yeah, literally. They're showing these like porn noir Friday nights or Saturday nights at midnight. They were showing some movie.

I thought it was a joke, but it was real. It was a mix of them and bands like, yeah, they've been doing it all month. Okay. I'm not going to name any names. We do have a colleague who has attended some of these out of experimental curiosity.

Yeah. Like, band was like, kind of getting irritated. Where he's like, you guys all treat me like a freak. But you know as much as I do. I started three porn scandals at us.

Yeah. So I'm going to guess that's a mostly male crowd. Couldn't tell you.

“No, it wasn't it like didn't somebody say it was like couples or something like that?”

Yeah. No. They must have been man. No way. That's true.

That's 40 guys by themselves and two couples. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's a really important piece of story. Well, we're almost done with CR month. Yeah.

One more. And I've started to think big picture with this month meant to you and the love from the fans. I'm curious to see how you used me going forward. Oh, you know, from a coaching perspective.

Yeah. You know, like you now, do you take me down a peg or two? Do you ice me? What do you do next with me? What do you mean?

You've been on like seven to seventy five percent of them. No, but now I'm bright and high. So do you.

Well, first of all, I like that we save some for the next year or month because when, you know,

we have a year to play in this now with the festival. Sure. And, you know, the merch. All that stuff. You can hire the guy to play the tree.

You know, right. The guy at the $20 big day guy will have him there. Well, the characters are some of these. Yes. But yeah, we left some.

We left. I'm from. Yeah. Right. Head for an October for October.

Yeah. Nice. Maybe October. Maybe we just don't do it. I'm just worried for you.

We received aliens as well. Oh, thank goodness. Those were the two that they didn't that you talked about the most. There's been other ones. But those have been other than the ones we've already done this week.

“If you want to know like the other contenders were all like basically up in the”

brackets that we just did. I don't notice.

I don't always go into the comments, but I did for the Instagram boat.

Mm-hmm. And some people like. Fuck, yes. Sourcer. You mother fucker.

Sourcer has to win. Like people are like angry that anyone is voted for anything out of the Sourcer. I think Sourcer is a passionate passionate family. So those were the CR heads.

The true CR heads. Yeah. Those were Sourcer. Are you a Sourcer guy? Uh, yes, but not as a whole personality.

I don't know how I missed it for 50 years. It's a real, a film nerd new class. No, I get it. I've grown new class. But it's like obviously in my will house.

Yeah. It's only been the great ones. It's good as it looks now though. Is that what it is? Because I saw it.

New Beverly and it was, it was still a pretty beat up print. And everybody was really pumped about it. But like, it's been a while. It took a while for it to look as good as it looks. Was that a more male audience than the porn new Beverly screening you saw?

No. There's a double feature. That was hard to tell. They should put that when they tweet out the movie that they should have an audience survey after what the demo was.

Yeah. Like, I wonder if they've ever gone 100% dudes. Henry Porter, the serial killer. Like that kind of guy. I've been in some movies with all these.

There you go. Okay. All right. LA confidential. Not on Netflix.
