Speaker 3: plus some streaming res so yeah already, some new to
Speaker 3: VOD streaming titles, and a new game. Who's doing the

Speaker 2: Homer in the house, I briefly lost my soul, left
Speaker 2: my body.
Speaker 3: Homeboy, Homer, No stop, no stop, All right, it's all
Speaker 3: coming up. All of it is coming up. On Film
Speaker 3: Spotting SMA SVU.
Speaker 2: Oh God, welcome to Film Spotting SVU. I met Singer.
Speaker 2: Later in the show, we will answer a listener request
Speaker 2: for a streaming recommendation for a lesser known heist film.
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert, it's Oceans thirty. No, I'm just kidding. And
Speaker 2: this week's aime, which producer Sam is calling multi box
Speaker 2: letter verse.
Speaker 3: Wow cool. All right, Well, the other thing and we're
Speaker 3: gonna mention this week's pick of a streaming movie is Hulu.
Speaker 3: The good old Hulu gang has a multiverse thriller called
Speaker 3: I don't know. I pronounced it Redo Redo. Matt Singer
Speaker 3: says it's Redus Reducs.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going off of one of a very well
Speaker 2: known movie, Apocalypse now, Reducs. Do you say apocalypse now? Redo?
Speaker 3: The answer is yes, I do. Actually, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just assume that it's the Silent X it's a little.
Speaker 2: I always have a set. Maybe I've been a philistine
Speaker 2: and a moron for the last sever many years. I've
Speaker 2: always said apocalypse. Now reeks, when you walk into you
Speaker 2: need let producer Sam, please, can you we need someone
Speaker 2: to adjudicate this?
Speaker 3: What what reducs? All right?
Speaker 2: You're I think the only solution is to just not
Speaker 2: say the name of this movie from now on.
Speaker 3: Get your reducts in a row. Now, why don't we
Speaker 3: have the listeners right to feedback at film Spotting SVU
Speaker 3: dot com and tell me is r E d ux?
Speaker 3: Is it redo or reducts? Also, when you walk into
Speaker 3: a fancy house and you first come in the main room,
Speaker 3: you know when there's at umbrella stand and you wipe
Speaker 3: your feet. Are you in a foyer or a foyer?
Speaker 2: I would say a foyer or I might say a foyer.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Well, so this I might say either one.
Speaker 3: If you do it twice.
Speaker 2: Hard lemonades have I had? Then I walk in this room?
Speaker 2: How many white claws have if you.
Speaker 3: Go into two foyer, is it's a foyer? Redo?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: All I can tell you is the movie is coming.
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about it. But first sure bulletin a
Speaker 3: bulletin from twenty five hundred b C. Is this guy.
Speaker 3: His name is Odysseus. He slept all the way to
Speaker 3: Troy and then he have GPS and he could not
Speaker 3: make it home. Meanwhile, other guys wentished up his wife
Speaker 3: and she's played by Anne Hathaway, So who can blame them?
Speaker 3: And the movie is The Odyssey and it's the only
Speaker 3: thing people are talking about right now. Now we are
Speaker 3: the streaming video unit, we have no prisons talking about
Speaker 3: the Odyssey, but the Odyssey will stream someday, so we
Speaker 3: figured I got to get it off my chest.
Speaker 2: I love her movie, Jordan is so now I want
Speaker 2: to ask this because I look, I saw The Odyssey
Speaker 2: and I liked it. I would have no problem not
Speaker 2: talking about it. Today Jordan cannot not talk about the Odyssey.
Speaker 2: He has been texting me like memes that he creates.
Speaker 2: He's texting me bad Odyssey jokes, yeah bad. He thought
Speaker 2: his Yo yo yo Homer in the house was bad.
Speaker 2: You should see some of the things he's texting me.
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna you really want to talk? So
Speaker 2: what is it about this movie that has so captivated
Speaker 2: your imagination?
Speaker 3: Jordan. Well, it's a couple things. One is I want
Speaker 3: to apologize to my ninth grade teacher because I never
Speaker 3: I didn't read the book when she assigned it to me.
Speaker 3: I sat in class and paid attention enough so that
Speaker 3: I was able to pass the class and do well,
Speaker 3: But when I was supposed to go home and read it,
Speaker 3: I never did. I tried the first page. I was like,
Speaker 3: what the hell is going on? Single muse of a man? Ah,
Speaker 3: come on is I'm gonna go watch Star Trek so
Speaker 3: I feel like a bit of a bozo. And as
Speaker 3: I'm watching it, and the Iliad too, we were assigned
Speaker 3: the Iliad, and this movie is a hodgepodge of the Iliad,
Speaker 3: the Odyssey, and also a little bit of the a Enid,
Speaker 3: which is not Homer. That's some other guy.
Speaker 2: Virgil was ned Flanders. I think did that one.
Speaker 3: While I'm watching this movie, I going, oh, yeah, I
Speaker 3: remember that from ninth grade. I Ah, that guy that
Speaker 3: sounds familiar. Yeah, the swine Herd. I remember the swine Herd.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. Why didn't
Speaker 3: I pay attention to this in class? I felt like
Speaker 3: a shmo And I.
Speaker 2: Look, really the reason you're so captivated by.
Speaker 3: But I loved the one other things I loved when
Speaker 3: there's the mentor character to young telemachus Us and then
Speaker 3: Odysseus says, and then spoiler for five thousand you know
Speaker 3: year old story, one thousand year old stories, spoiler alert
Speaker 3: when mentor gets killed and Telemachus is said, and then
Speaker 3: you don't really hear his name, and then Odysseus calls
Speaker 3: him mentor and he's the mentor, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: I kind of remember that from ninth grade. That's where
Speaker 3: that word comes from. I forgot all that. So I'm
Speaker 3: in the audience by myself watching this movie, just like
Speaker 3: laughing at myself for being a dumbass. So I don't know, No,
Speaker 3: I really, I'm all kidding. Say I'm a Nolan Stan
Speaker 3: Everyone's got a right to be a stand of us.
Speaker 3: So you love Jim Katta, I love I love Christopher Nolan,
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 2: Love Christopher Nolan's movies too, But I'm not sending you
Speaker 2: memes at all hours of the night.
Speaker 3: I really was captivated, is the word I I was
Speaker 3: just I had high expectations and they were met and
Speaker 3: they were crossed. I was just loved it. I just
Speaker 3: loved every moment of it. It's my favorite movie of
Speaker 3: the year, and it's the best movie of its kind
Speaker 3: since Oppenheimer, which was the best movie of its kind
Speaker 3: since Tenants, which was the what is its kind?
Speaker 2: It's not like Oppenheimer in terms of genre.
Speaker 3: Well, it's now to be serious, and I feel it
Speaker 3: that it and Oppenheimer and Tennant and a lot of
Speaker 3: the other Nolan films, they do have great commonalities in
Speaker 3: their form and thematics. Yes, thematically, but also just the
Speaker 3: very way you kind of jump right in the close ups,
Speaker 3: the cutting back and forth through time, but also just
Speaker 3: the propulsive editing. I think this woman who's his editor,
Speaker 3: Jennifer Lame, and she's anything, but let me tell you,
Speaker 3: I feel that she is really his secret weapon because
Speaker 3: God knows how much crazy footage he's shooting with these
Speaker 3: giant cameras the size of a refrigerator and dumping in
Speaker 3: her lap. It's a three hour movie that doesn't really
Speaker 3: take breath. It just key movement, and the same with
Speaker 3: with Interstellar, with with with Tenant especially is I mean
Speaker 3: just a perfect movie. I think Tenant is great and
Speaker 3: I know you. I saw your ranking on screencrutch dot com.
Speaker 3: You said that was like his eighth best film. Yes,
Speaker 3: I was gonna that was gonna scream at you. You
Speaker 3: said you ranked his films and you put I believe
Speaker 3: you put uh the al Pacino one.
Speaker 2: Last, right, Yeah, I think that's right, yes.
Speaker 3: Which which I guess something's gotta be last. And then
Speaker 3: you said follow last. Yes, I would probably put following
Speaker 3: dead last, and then the al Pacino one Insomnia and
Speaker 3: then go from there. But then like you had one
Speaker 3: other one, probably Dark Knight Rises, and then you put
Speaker 3: Tenant and I was like that singer, I can't believe
Speaker 3: I allow you in my life with these kinds of opinions.
Speaker 2: It was a movie I understand less every time I
Speaker 2: watch it, and I've seen it many times.
Speaker 3: I have this no possible way to understand that movie.
Speaker 3: It's that's part of what's so good anyway. So I
Speaker 3: really liked it. But you know what, here's the thing.
Speaker 3: So it's an emergency session because Odyssey is all anybody's
Speaker 3: talking about. I want the listeners to write in, to
Speaker 3: write into feedback at film Spotting SVU dot com, And
Speaker 3: next week we're gonna have a special Odyssey episode we'll
Speaker 3: we talk about the movie a little bit more in depth.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna see it again. Between now and then, we're
Speaker 3: gonna be talk I'm gonna be wearing armor and eating
Speaker 3: feta cheese, very Greek, and we're gonna.
Speaker 2: Have Thank God, Riverside isn't smell a vision, That's all
Speaker 2: I have to say.
Speaker 3: And we're gonna talk about Odyssey as if it were
Speaker 3: like that. You know, we're gonna do rec segs based
Speaker 3: on Odyssey in some way, maybe our favorite you know,
Speaker 3: Robert Pattinson Villain rolls or something. I don't know, but
Speaker 3: that's gonna be next week's special edition. Odestly because it's
Speaker 3: the movie of the year. I mean, it made a
Speaker 3: bazillion dollars at the box office.
Speaker 2: Also, it didn't make that much money. It did well.
Speaker 3: It made more opening weekend than Oppenheimer did, and that
Speaker 3: made a billion dollars in the long run.
Speaker 2: Did it even make more than Toy Story five did
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. We didn't. We didn't stop
Speaker 2: the presses to talk about Toy Store.
Speaker 3: I believe that when this is done, it's.
Speaker 2: This the civilization that tells the end of No.
Speaker 3: When When When Otisi is out of when Odyssey is
Speaker 3: out of theaters. I believe it's total box office tally
Speaker 3: will be comparable to Oppenheimer's. I don't know that it'll
Speaker 3: surpass it, but it'll be comparable in the same general ballpark,
Speaker 3: which is close to a billion dollars, I think. I
Speaker 3: think Oppenheimer ultimately made like didn't quite make a billion
Speaker 3: and made like nine hundred and ninety eight million or
Speaker 3: something like that. Anyway, So that's next week's that's the
Speaker 3: fans are excited. They're out there right now. They're they're
Speaker 3: they're stretching, they're they're.
Speaker 2: Banging down the gates of Joy episode exactly.
Speaker 3: So that's exciting. Okay, But now let's talk about this
Speaker 3: week's movie, which producer Sam and I defer to him.
Speaker 3: The word that I until formally called redo is pronounced
Speaker 3: reducks like the Mighty Ducks.
Speaker 2: You didn't just pronounce it that way. You shoul shamed
Speaker 2: me for saying it the right way I did.
Speaker 3: I called you a fool, and it was I who
Speaker 3: was the fool, much much like Odysseus when he when
Speaker 3: he turned his back on Poseidon and then he got screwed.
Speaker 3: That's how I feel we have.
Speaker 2: There's so many lessons that this film imparts to the
Speaker 2: modern the modern viewer.
Speaker 3: Re Ducks is pronounced re ducks. The word is derived
Speaker 3: from Latin, meaning brought back or returning, much like Odysseus
Speaker 3: coming back from true. Oh, Mike, go the first The
Speaker 3: first syllable sounds like rea in the second rhymes with ducks, So.
Speaker 2: The listeners can't hear me. Hear me doing it. But
Speaker 2: I wonder if the mic is picking up me rubbing
Speaker 2: my temples violently every time he mentions Odysseus.
Speaker 3: A temple much like the temple to Athena that was
Speaker 3: sacked at Troy when they broke Zeus's law. Those bastards.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to this review.
Speaker 3: All right, good good, good good.
Speaker 5: Traveling through the multiverse looking for my daughter, you know.
Speaker 4: For around here, no great, neither am I looking.
Speaker 6: For a world for she wasn't kidnapped and murdered. You
Speaker 6: lost your daughter. It was a long time ago.
Speaker 5: She's been dead in all of them.
Speaker 6: So I just keep killing the bastard to.
Speaker 2: This her revenge is an intimate act. No one swears
Speaker 2: revenge because a guy they met once in line at
Speaker 2: stop and shop got mugged. The victim needs to be
Speaker 2: a loved one. It is by definition a family affair,
Speaker 2: and that certainly lends an interesting twist behind the camera
Speaker 2: to Redux, reducts, or, as Jordan likes to call it, redo, Redo.
Speaker 3: Never again, I won't do it again now I.
Speaker 2: Know, which is a high concept combo of sci fi
Speaker 2: film and revenge picture. It was directed by brothers Ca
Speaker 2: and Matthew McManus, and it stars their sister, MICHAELA McManus.
Speaker 2: She plays a woman out for a unique but very
Speaker 2: intimate sort of revenge after her daughter is murdered by
Speaker 2: a sadistic short order cook in a world where technology
Speaker 2: exists that allows people to jump between universes. She sets
Speaker 2: out across the multiverse trying to find a world, any world,
Speaker 2: where her daughter is still alive. She visits countless worlds,
Speaker 2: and in every single one, her daughter is dead. So
Speaker 2: she seeks out said short order cook and kills him,
Speaker 2: and kills him, and kills him and kills him. She
Speaker 2: hops from one universe to the next and repeats this
Speaker 2: process over and over again. Reducs after Reducs after Redo
Speaker 2: after Redo. Now it's an undeniably inventive twist on a
Speaker 2: very familiar sort of film. But Jordan, and here's my
Speaker 2: question for you, do it. Does the filmmaking family in
Speaker 2: this case that made Redux Reducs have the chops to
Speaker 2: live up to their very inventive concept. Or is the
Speaker 2: fact that this familial revenge movie was made by three
Speaker 2: siblings amount to little more than a great sales pitch
Speaker 2: for a so so movie.
Speaker 3: M Okay. My answer to your question, straight up yes
Speaker 3: or no, is Yes. This movie is good and it's
Speaker 3: worth your time, and you have Hulu, so you might
Speaker 3: as well watch it. Anyhow. It's pretty short too, It's
Speaker 3: like ninety seven minutes or so. I would say it's
Speaker 3: not as good as the movie I'm about to mention,
Speaker 3: But it did remind me of it because it's low budget,
Speaker 3: it's pretty smart, and it involves people getting in a box.
Speaker 3: So remind me of Primer a little bit. Did you
Speaker 3: have Primer vibes from the Stora?
Speaker 2: It's hard not to think about Primer if you know
Speaker 2: that film and you watch this one.
Speaker 3: Yes, No, Primer's in a different universe because Primers really
Speaker 3: brainiac movie. Some would say it's similar to Memento in
Speaker 3: the way it's so crazy and you got to think
Speaker 3: about it hard. But this is much more fun, and
Speaker 3: I really like the central character played by the sister McManus.
Speaker 3: And you know, it teases just enough of the world
Speaker 3: that you buy it. But it doesn't you know, it
Speaker 3: doesn't know the It doesn't know how this thing works
Speaker 3: because this thing doesn't exist. Nobody knows how this thing works.
Speaker 3: So it just just tells you enough to buy the premise.
Speaker 3: I thought the lead actress was quite good, but there
Speaker 3: really aren't any stars in this film. There are some
Speaker 3: twists and turns, though when you learn a little bit
Speaker 3: about one of the twists, this isn't giving too much away.
Speaker 3: Is that you just kind of assume, I don't know, Matt,
Speaker 3: maybe you did too. You assume that the movie began
Speaker 3: in our universe, right, like didn't You just kind of assume, like, oh,
Speaker 3: she's popping around, like at the beginning, we see like
Speaker 3: a montage for kill people. But you just assume that
Speaker 3: the initial transgression happened in our universe and she figured
Speaker 3: out a way to move around, and then later it
Speaker 3: kind of dawns. He was like, no, she she grew
Speaker 3: up in some other realm. You know where where sci
Speaker 3: fi googlews exist. And that was a very interesting take.
Speaker 3: I thought that, like, you know, our base of reality
Speaker 3: and her base of reality were different. We don't know
Speaker 3: when she visits our universe, you know, Like I say,
Speaker 3: she kills this guy a lot. It's a little gruesome actually.
Speaker 3: And then there's a nice, you know message to the film,
Speaker 3: which is, you know, eventually, man, you know, hate it'll
Speaker 3: eat you up.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: Revenge is you know, is not you know, it's maybe
Speaker 3: not so good that, you know, kill the person who
Speaker 3: killed your daughter once, but don't kill him one hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty five times. But then of course she meets
Speaker 3: someone along her travels who becomes a surrogate daughter to her. Sure,
Speaker 3: and this is where I really hopem debating whether or
Speaker 3: I should bring this up Here goes because when it's
Speaker 3: a low budget movie like this, there's it possibility that
Speaker 3: the people who made this film more important than people
Speaker 3: who were in this film might actually listen to this podcast.
Speaker 3: So here we go. I really like the movie, and
Speaker 3: I think that the young woman who played the surrogate
Speaker 3: daughter as an actress by name is Stella Marcus. I
Speaker 3: think she's very talented. She was miscast in this film.
Speaker 3: This is a low budget movie made in Canada. You
Speaker 3: know they you know Canada. I mean, come on, they
Speaker 3: barely have running water up there, so what they I'm
Speaker 3: making a joke. So it's a low budget film from Canada.
Speaker 3: So they made they went to the war with the
Speaker 3: army they had, right, So they cast this young woman
Speaker 3: who was good. But she's supposed to be like, you know,
Speaker 3: a tough chick from the streets, and she's seen a
Speaker 3: lot and done a lot. And this this actress, young woman,
Speaker 3: she looks not like that. You know. It's just it
Speaker 3: just was not the right casting, and it did bother me.
Speaker 3: Normally I just roll with it. I suspend my disbelief, like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, right, she doesn't look like like she's had
Speaker 3: it too rough, but okay, I really had a hard
Speaker 3: time buying her in this role. Young, young, young Stella.
Speaker 3: The next movie you're in, when you're gonna get cast
Speaker 3: in something more appropriate, you're gonna shine, You're gonna be great.
Speaker 3: You got a great career ahead of you. And to
Speaker 3: the directors that put her in the film, I'm sure
Speaker 3: she was the best you saw. So nothing you can do.
Speaker 3: This was for me a little bit of a It
Speaker 3: did bother me, Like I'm like, every time she's on screen,
Speaker 3: I'm going ash, she's wrong for the part. She's wrong
Speaker 3: for the part. But I still like the movie and
Speaker 3: I really recommend it. Recommend it. Did you feel that
Speaker 3: she wasn't so hot in this in this role?
Speaker 2: Also? I thought she was fine. I think the thing
Speaker 2: that resonated with me from what you said was about
Speaker 2: suspending your disbelief. I didn't necessarily have as much of
Speaker 2: a problem with her, but I think, well, I thought overall,
Speaker 2: I thought it was a pretty well done, you know,
Speaker 2: very low budget movie, and with whatever they had available,
Speaker 2: they did a fine job it. You know, I think
Speaker 2: you can't help but think about Primer, as you mentioned,
Speaker 2: based on the premise, and also like that there's this
Speaker 2: box that is the all important thing that they used,
Speaker 2: you know, instead of time travel, it's it's it's multiversal time,
Speaker 2: you know, dimension jumps. But it is just a big box.
Speaker 2: But the problem with that comparison is like I feel
Speaker 2: like with Primer, a movie that I don't adore, but
Speaker 2: it's like the more you think about Primer, the more
Speaker 2: like it kind of it's like a fun puzzle to
Speaker 2: twist around in your head. And this movie, I think
Speaker 2: the more you think about it, the less you're gonna
Speaker 2: get out of it. It's not that sort of film.
Speaker 2: It's like this box, right, the box. The box winds
Speaker 2: up in vans, it winds up in in in hotel rooms,
Speaker 2: and there are times and there are times where it's
Speaker 2: like it like lands in like the middle of the street.
Speaker 3: Right, and we got it.
Speaker 2: We got to get this thing. This thing must weigh
Speaker 2: six thousand pounds. And these two women, how are the
Speaker 2: lifting it? How are they moving? And how do they
Speaker 2: get anywhere? And you know you mentioned that you kind
Speaker 2: of expected that, Okay, well this movie is she must
Speaker 2: have started in our world. Yeah, and somehow it started
Speaker 2: jumping around, found this device or whatever. And we really
Speaker 2: don't get a ton of information about this this what
Speaker 2: did you call it? A gigga googaw? Yeah, a googaw.
Speaker 2: That's one of the big competitors to Bazouga. We haven't
Speaker 2: talked about it before, but it's it's another it's an
Speaker 2: up and comer in the streaming space is Googaw. But
Speaker 2: what we as you mentioned, like you sort of eventually realize, well, no,
Speaker 2: she's from a much different place that has incredible technology.
Speaker 2: But every other universe that we see in this movie
Speaker 2: looks exactly like our world, right, so there's there every
Speaker 2: universe looks like ours except the one that she comes from,
Speaker 2: which apparently is like a sci fi paraise.
Speaker 3: Like I was thinking that too, that it was like,
Speaker 3: there should be like one time where she jumps and
Speaker 3: it rains donuts, like on the Simpsons episode where Homer
Speaker 3: went to the donut raining.
Speaker 2: Now you could say I am nitpicking, and you're probably right,
Speaker 2: but my point is this movie works best sort of
Speaker 2: only at the sort of we're using this as an
Speaker 2: excuse to tell like an emotional story. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: make on that level, yes, And on that level it works,
Speaker 2: and I thought it was effective. Yeah, And it is
Speaker 2: a smart use of like multi versus to tell a
Speaker 2: story about grief and about trauma and all those sorts
Speaker 2: of things. The metaphor works where it'll it'll start to
Speaker 2: kind of fall apart. Is if you kind of if
Speaker 2: you're not if you don't get hooked by that, you're
Speaker 2: you could be in trouble because like trying to kind
Speaker 2: of make sense of what's happening in a like does
Speaker 2: this all add up. I'm not so sure that it does,
Speaker 2: but I think if it's it is a again you
Speaker 2: have to suspend your disbelief and if you can do that,
Speaker 2: I thought it was a pretty solid little plucky, little
Speaker 2: Indie Taylor.
Speaker 3: It's a good festival film. It's a great calling card film.
Speaker 3: If I ran a studio, I get all these I
Speaker 3: get these kids in an office and see what they
Speaker 3: want to do next.
Speaker 6: I can't quit.
Speaker 3: The action is good. I think the last sequence, the
Speaker 3: final Girls sequence at the end, I thought that was
Speaker 3: really well done. It was became a good horror movie
Speaker 3: at the end. Also, it opens really sharp. Like the beginning,
Speaker 3: Like I mentioned this before, it has.
Speaker 2: A very catchy beginning.
Speaker 3: I agree, violent as hell, also a very exiting and
Speaker 3: she's running around and she's stealing a truck and all
Speaker 3: this stuff. I mean, these guys have the goods.
Speaker 2: And they and I will give them credit. Also, you know,
Speaker 2: as you said, like they just kind of throw you
Speaker 2: into it. There's you're just totally disoriented to start, and
Speaker 2: that is fun. I've been in the middle of reading
Speaker 2: Frank Miller's new memoir called Push the Wall. Frank Miller,
Speaker 2: the creator of Sin City and the writer and artist
Speaker 2: of the Dark Knight returns and many many great comic books.
Speaker 2: It's a really good book. And he has a chapter
Speaker 2: it's about his life, but it's also about making art
Speaker 2: and comics, and he gives some very few but a
Speaker 2: couple of rules of storytelling. And one of his rules
Speaker 2: is start your story as late in the story as possible. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and this is a perfect example of that, and it does,
Speaker 2: and it shows why it's effective instead of like explaining,
Speaker 2: and probably because they just couldn't afford to show whatever
Speaker 2: universe this lady came from, they start with her already
Speaker 2: on this this endless quest of killing the same person
Speaker 2: over and over and what's happening and why is she
Speaker 2: doing this? And that is really fun to try to
Speaker 2: piece that out. And I give them total credit for
Speaker 2: the way it starts. It's very effective. And then yeah,
Speaker 2: as you learn more, it also works. And MICHAELA. McManus
Speaker 2: does give a really good performance. And so yeah, all
Speaker 2: of that stuff I thought. I thought the strongest part
Speaker 2: of the movie really was the first like fifteen twenty
Speaker 2: minutes or so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that really kicks it. And then the ending I
Speaker 3: think is good to you. So I recommend it. I
Speaker 3: mean it's a little different. It's it's one of those
Speaker 3: movies that like, nobody's talking about except for us, so
Speaker 3: make more.
Speaker 2: They don't know how to pronounce the title. How could
Speaker 2: they talk about it?
Speaker 3: I mean I watched you with my wife and she
Speaker 3: enjoyed it too. She thought it was it was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's like a little gem. It's a little
Speaker 3: indie gems. It's not am not gonna be on anybody's
Speaker 3: end of the year best lists, but it is something
Speaker 3: you're not.
Speaker 2: Sending me any Redux Reducks memes at eleven thirty at night. No, No,
Speaker 2: let's put that before we wrap up. I know we
Speaker 2: don't want to have a We didn't.
Speaker 3: We don't.
Speaker 2: We didn't want to go on too long. We have
Speaker 2: a lot to talk about this week. Yes, I did
Speaker 2: want to say one one thing that irked me. I mean,
Speaker 2: it is in this movie, but it is it is
Speaker 2: more that I'm just sick of this trope? Can I
Speaker 2: can I throw this out? Can I get on a
Speaker 2: soapbox here?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I am not a huge fan. I feel like in
Speaker 2: every Revenge movie and I didn't write down examples, and
Speaker 2: I don't have any to like site. But I just
Speaker 2: feel like this is something I've seen too much the
Speaker 2: Revenge movie, where someone is on an end list quest
Speaker 2: for revenge. I must do this, I must get revenge.
Speaker 2: I must, I must, And then they encounter someone at
Speaker 2: the beginning of a potential quest for revenge and they
Speaker 2: are like, you know, you don't want this, you don't
Speaker 2: you know, don't do this right, which is a thing
Speaker 2: that happens in this movie with the character of Mia,
Speaker 2: for various reasons, has her own want desired, a reason
Speaker 2: to want revenge, and so as she falls in with
Speaker 2: the Michayla mcmannon's character Irene, you know, it sort of
Speaker 2: is a you know, like you know, she kind of
Speaker 2: takes her under her wing, but she also is like,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, it's almost like the walk Hard.
Speaker 3: Don't be like me, don't be like me.
Speaker 2: It's like the walk Hard scene where John c Ryley
Speaker 2: you don't want yeah, exactly. Tim Medow is like, you
Speaker 2: don't want none of this? Is it expensive? It's the
Speaker 2: cheapest drug there is. You don't want none of it.
Speaker 2: I am sick of the character want the character who
Speaker 2: is on an endless quest of revenge telling someone you
Speaker 2: don't want none of this now? But do they stop?
Speaker 2: Do they again? I don't want to spoil the end
Speaker 2: of this movie here.
Speaker 3: Like they do want You don't want this.
Speaker 2: I mean, excuse me while I go kill ten more
Speaker 2: people because I have to. It's just that, to me
Speaker 2: is a very played out trope and I don't.
Speaker 3: Well, for first of all, Walkhart has ruined movies. I
Speaker 3: mean no, you can't take any movie seriously post Walkcard
Speaker 3: and Walkard just destroyed the whole the whole medium. But
Speaker 3: you're right, it's like, you know, I have a friends.
Speaker 3: It's a bit. It's like you know somebody who like
Speaker 3: had spent their youth doing drugs and you know, betting
Speaker 3: women and living like a crazy person and later comes
Speaker 3: out and is sober, and it's like, you don't want
Speaker 3: to live what I live through. It's like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it sounds kind of fun from here what you were doing,
Speaker 3: I'd like to I'd like to find out for myself.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it is. It is a funny thing. And
Speaker 3: but yes it is played out, like you know, don't
Speaker 3: be like but again it's played out, but it's what
Speaker 3: this character's be. It made you know, I bought it
Speaker 3: because I liked the performance and I like the general premise.
Speaker 3: You're right, I had the walk hard thought to it
Speaker 3: during that exact moment, but I said, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'll give them a break because I felt it. I mean,
Speaker 3: I just watched this woman murder a man seventeen times
Speaker 3: and because he torture her daughter, sure, and I kind
Speaker 3: of felt it. So it was like, you know what.
Speaker 2: At this point, it just feels like a scene that
Speaker 2: people throw in because they feel like they have to
Speaker 2: include a scene like that.
Speaker 3: And I mean it's unfortunate because I think this movie
Speaker 3: earned it. I feel this movie earned that scene, whereas
Speaker 3: some other examples don't. But I but you're right, it's
Speaker 3: just that they I wish there was a different spin
Speaker 3: because that, Yeah, that's what the point of this movie is.
Speaker 3: Revenge doesn't solve anything. It's this movie's anti death penalty.
Speaker 3: You know, killing the guy who kills your loved one
Speaker 3: isn't gonna help. But you need to come to that
Speaker 3: conclusion on your own. And she comes to it after
Speaker 3: traveling the multiverse and strangling him one hundred times. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's it is a yes.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I one hundred percent agree that
Speaker 2: that is the message of the movie. Where any movie
Speaker 2: where you've murdered someone thousands of times and then I
Speaker 2: don't know that it's necessarily saying that that that it's bad, but.
Speaker 3: Well that's what she's come through, is that she's she
Speaker 3: has to stop, she has to stop the cycle of violence. Man,
Speaker 3: as we all do. You know, let's get Putin and
Speaker 3: Zelensky to watch Redus reducts in the world to be
Speaker 3: a better place.
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Well, if they want to watch it,
Speaker 2: they can do so on Hulu.
Speaker 3: That's right, they have Hulu out there and Kiev and
Speaker 3: Moscow and peace to the world.
Speaker 7: How do you know where I am?
Speaker 8: Anymore?
Speaker 2: We're moving on to everyone's favorite segment to say, if
Speaker 2: not to actually participate in. It, is the recommendation segment,
Speaker 2: also known as e works.
Speaker 3: All right, you got annoyed at me for saying homeboy
Speaker 3: Homer in the house and you're screaming and yelling about
Speaker 3: reck what Jordan?
Speaker 2: You know what you did?
Speaker 3: I know you know what you did? You know what?
Speaker 3: The movie Reducks, Reducks, which I will now pronounce the
Speaker 3: correct way, is quite good and it did make me
Speaker 3: think of some other films that I would like to
Speaker 3: recommend that.
Speaker 2: Ironically, all your picks were movies with titles with a
Speaker 2: silent X I've now established is not accurate. No, sorry,
Speaker 2: what is your what's your recommendation?
Speaker 3: All right, here we go. I'm going for a biggie.
Speaker 3: The last couple of weeks I've been not no pussy
Speaker 3: footing around. When I have an opportunity, When I have
Speaker 3: an opportunity to just nail it and slam it out
Speaker 3: of the park, I'm gonna do it right. Recent recommendations
Speaker 3: include big ass movies like The in Laws, Amadeis, What's
Speaker 3: Up Duck? These are some of my favorite movies of
Speaker 3: all time, and here it comes again, Reducks. Reducks is
Speaker 3: about a woman who has to take extraordinary science fiction
Speaker 3: methods to save what she thinks, save the world, save
Speaker 3: her life, correct a great wrong. I know. A story
Speaker 3: about a group of people who are facing eternal existential
Speaker 3: destruction planetary destruction in fact, and the only way that
Speaker 3: they could have solved the problem were to take their
Speaker 3: vessel sling shot it around the sun.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't happen to be a nuclear vessel by any chance.
Speaker 3: Sling shot around the sun. Go back in time, get
Speaker 3: a humpback whale, bring it forward in time. And they
Speaker 3: need to that's true. They need to Georgie and.
Speaker 2: Grant please a little respect.
Speaker 3: They have to get two humpback whales, drop them in
Speaker 3: the tank at Paramount in Los Angeles and have them
Speaker 3: talk to a probe. And that movie, of course, is
Speaker 3: truly one of the most foundational films in my life.
Speaker 3: Changed my life forever. When I saw it in the theater,
Speaker 3: Star Trek for the Voyage Home. Now, I was not.
Speaker 2: Get the red alert sound effects. Please play it, play
Speaker 2: it here it comes. It's a whole segment of Star
Speaker 2: Trek Talk Go Space, the Final Frontier.
Speaker 3: When I saw Star Trek for the Voyage Home in Featers,
Speaker 3: I was trek curious. I really didn't know much about it.
Speaker 3: I had one friend he liked the show because his
Speaker 3: dad was a fan, and I'd like seen it a
Speaker 3: little bit in his basement, but like we'd kind of
Speaker 3: catch it halfway through. He's like, you don't know, Star Trek.
Speaker 3: This is good. He was from Long Island, so he
Speaker 3: talked like that. So I knew it. But I also
Speaker 3: knew that it was a thing that people made fun
Speaker 3: of because it was for dorks and dwebs, which it is.
Speaker 3: But somehow I got to see this movie.
Speaker 2: I was there.
Speaker 3: I don't even know who I went with the first time.
Speaker 3: I don't think I was with my I think I
Speaker 3: was alone. I don't know. I was like twelve thirteen.
Speaker 3: Somehow I saw this movie. I don't know. It was
Speaker 3: such a deep important thing that I just like, I
Speaker 3: just it just sort of touched my very essence that
Speaker 3: I don't remember getting there and I don't remember who
Speaker 3: I was with, But when I left, I still remember
Speaker 3: being in the theater, and I remember some of the
Speaker 3: laughs that Bones got. I remember, I mean the scenes
Speaker 3: at the beginning were Bones and Spokers zinging each other.
Speaker 4: There is one possibility, but of course I cannot guarantee success.
Speaker 4: We could attempt to find some humpback whales. You just
Speaker 4: said there aren't any except on Earth of the past, Yes, Donga,
Speaker 4: that is exactly what I said. Well, in that case, no, wait,
Speaker 4: just to dance, Bock, start your computations for time work.
Speaker 3: I saw them moving to the theater like three or
Speaker 3: four times, and I started watching the original series of
Speaker 3: Star Trek on TV because it was always on reruns
Speaker 3: at the time, it was Channel eleven in the New
Speaker 3: York New Jersey area at eleven PM, and I would
Speaker 3: It's not supposed to stay that late, so I would
Speaker 3: say I'm going to bed, and then sneak into the
Speaker 3: guest room where we had a very small television, and
Speaker 3: I would watch Star Trek. And then X amount of
Speaker 3: months later the Next Generation began, So I saw that
Speaker 3: from the beginning. So I was watching TOS for the
Speaker 3: first time simultaneously while watching Next Generation, and it sent
Speaker 3: me into a not very standard orbit. Let me tell
Speaker 3: you sent me. It changed my life. I mean, it
Speaker 3: really did. So I don't know. I mean there are
Speaker 3: still some people I still meet some people in my
Speaker 3: life Matt Singer where they go like, oh yeah, Star Trek.
Speaker 3: Like now it's not It used to be quite stigmatized.
Speaker 3: You could not go to school and tell your friends
Speaker 3: you watch Star Trek. You get beat up because you
Speaker 3: were a nerd. Right nowadays people know, you know this
Speaker 3: is the post Marvel. You know it's him to be square,
Speaker 3: as they say.
Speaker 2: Now, I just assume people don't care. Kids in school
Speaker 2: do they care anymore?
Speaker 3: I think there are still things that if you went
Speaker 3: to a school and you watch something really geeky, they
Speaker 3: would still beat you up. Maybe they would just find
Speaker 3: a way to beat beat you up anyway.
Speaker 2: I mean, bullies will be bullies. I just think I
Speaker 2: would imagine that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't even know what Star Trek? What is
Speaker 2: Star Trek?
Speaker 3: I know they're not, they're not.
Speaker 2: Who is this man in a bathrobe with a uh
Speaker 2: with a with a headband covering the tops of his ears?
Speaker 2: Who is this man?
Speaker 3: His name is Buck?
Speaker 2: Why are they talking about beaming? What is beaming? They
Speaker 2: wouldn't understand.
Speaker 3: No, But there's got to be something out there that
Speaker 3: if you know, if you watch, Oh I'm.
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean they're sure there is. I just I
Speaker 2: question whether that.
Speaker 3: It's not Star Trek. No, it's that that is not
Speaker 3: going to get you beat up anymore. But the point
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make is this, Uh, the point I'm
Speaker 3: trying to make is so important that I forgot what
Speaker 3: it was. But the point is this that that, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: I still changed your life. No, No, it did change
Speaker 3: my life for sure. I mean for maybe there's people
Speaker 3: listening who don't know. But I have written a great
Speaker 3: deal about Star Trek, wrote a Star Trek book, I've
Speaker 3: used to moderate the Star Trek panels on cruise ships.
Speaker 3: For God's sakes, it's kind of my thing.
Speaker 2: You hung out with Ethan Phillips for God's sake, as
Speaker 2: you told anecdotes about it.
Speaker 3: I have. That's right. So the point is this, there
Speaker 3: are still some people out there that I meet and
Speaker 3: say in a friendly and benign way, oh, yeah, Star Trek.
Speaker 3: I've never actually seen it, and because it can be
Speaker 3: intimidating because the show's debuted sixty years ago and there's
Speaker 3: seven hundred and some odd episodes. If you include the
Speaker 3: new stuff, it's well over eight hundred and fifty. Now,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of different movies. Which ones you see first?
Speaker 3: The one to see first is either Star Trek to
Speaker 3: the Wrath of Khan or Star Trek for the Voyage Home.
Speaker 3: Either one, they're both perfect. Star Trek for the Voyage
Speaker 3: Home was a little sillier and funnier. Star Trek to
Speaker 3: the Wrath of Khan I think is more gripping and
Speaker 3: will tear your heart out at the end. But that's
Speaker 3: what I always say. And like, you really don't know
Speaker 3: anything about Star Trek you've been meaning to see, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I kind of know, Captain, what should I do? Watch
Speaker 3: Star Trek two or Star Trek for either one flip
Speaker 3: a coin doesn't matter, and you'll get it. You'll get
Speaker 3: it and you'll be hooked because it is one of
Speaker 3: life's few perfect things. That's my rec seg for today.
Speaker 6: I'm coming with you.
Speaker 2: You can next time it's the twenty third CenTra No
Speaker 2: Chills Maximum watch Jenny TLAs Well, I'll help Jordan here
Speaker 2: and say that Star Trek for the Voyage Home is
Speaker 2: streaming on Paramount Plus if you want it. I'm going
Speaker 2: to assume that all the Star Treks are over there,
Speaker 2: because Paramount owns the Star Trek franchise.
Speaker 3: That's kind of all I got these days.
Speaker 2: So if you want to watch that one, if you
Speaker 2: haven't seen it, if you're ready, and if you want
Speaker 2: to die, if you want to go dive into the
Speaker 2: whole universe of Star Trek, it's all. It's all over there.
Speaker 2: And sometimes I I'm certainly not a fan of the
Speaker 2: level of Jordan, but once in a while I will
Speaker 2: I like to fall as when I'm like, you know,
Speaker 2: laying in bed, like what I want to fall asleep to,
Speaker 2: I'll put on an old Star Trek the original series.
Speaker 2: That's something one of my favorite things to just not
Speaker 2: off to.
Speaker 3: It's just because the sound effects those places.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those yeah, like the little the computer noises on
Speaker 2: the bridge. They're very soothing.
Speaker 3: It really is, Yes, yes, it's it's it's like listening
Speaker 3: to your mother, uh you know, cradle you or you know,
Speaker 3: not your mother, my mother.
Speaker 2: But let's not make it weird. Let's move on to
Speaker 2: my recommendation here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you got what what if Reducks Reducts remind
Speaker 3: you of?
Speaker 2: Well, it certainly didn't remind me of of Star Trek.
Speaker 2: I decided to go in a more of a revenge
Speaker 2: movie Root and the one. It's funny you were like,
Speaker 2: I'm doing the big movies. I'm doing I'm going bigger,
Speaker 2: I'm going home. I like to I'd like to try
Speaker 2: not to pick the most obvious things. And the one
Speaker 2: that I found that I thought about that is it's
Speaker 2: not one of the most famous revenge movies, but I
Speaker 2: found on streaming. It's actually streaming in a lot of places,
Speaker 2: including quite a few that are free, So there's there.
Speaker 2: You can have your pick of ways to watch it.
Speaker 2: It is a movie I was extremely excited to watch
Speaker 2: when it first came out in nineteen ninety nine, because
Speaker 2: it was directed and written by the co writer of
Speaker 2: my favorite movie at the time, Jordan. Do you think
Speaker 2: you know what it is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be it's that Sam Raimi movie
Speaker 3: in black and white? No, okay, all right, No, what
Speaker 3: is that called? The same Raimi movie in black and white?
Speaker 2: Well, it's not in black and white. But are you
Speaker 2: thinking of a simple plan? Maybe yes, I mean that
Speaker 2: did come around out around that time, and that is
Speaker 2: an excellent movie. Yeah, it's not in black and white.
Speaker 2: I don't think Sam has a movie. Sam has a guess.
Speaker 3: Sam thinks it might be the Limey? Is it the Limey?
Speaker 2: No, another excellent guess, and it is a revenge movie.
Speaker 2: But that was that was not it, because my favorite
Speaker 2: movie at this time was a film called La Confidential,
Speaker 2: which saw on resaw and that was I don't know
Speaker 2: if it was my Star Trek four, but that was
Speaker 2: a very big movie for me, great when I was whatever, sixteen, seventeen,
Speaker 2: whatever year that was. But the co writer of that
Speaker 2: movie's next movie was a little film called Payback, which
Speaker 2: is currently streaming on Prime video on Peacock on Pluto,
Speaker 2: on Roku, on to b and on YouTube TV, so
Speaker 2: you have it many many different ways to see it. Now,
Speaker 2: I do want to put this caveat when I saw
Speaker 2: this movie for the first time, so excited from the
Speaker 2: co writer of La Confidential, Brian Helgelin bh, I saw
Speaker 2: it and I thought, oh, this is okay. But then
Speaker 2: what I realized much later, only recently I somehow missed
Speaker 2: this is that several years later the movie was re
Speaker 2: released in a director's cut that really restores Brian Helgalin
Speaker 2: basically was removed from the movie during editing and he
Speaker 2: was replaced, although his name always remained on it. So
Speaker 2: his version the movie that I saw and thought was
Speaker 2: met was not his version. But now if you look around,
Speaker 2: you can find his version, which is much better and
Speaker 2: pay It's sometimes it just says payback. You have to
Speaker 2: look for the run time. That's the giveaway. Fine, look
Speaker 2: up the director's cut run time, and then make sure
Speaker 2: the version you're streaming has the correct run time. It
Speaker 2: is that is the one that's available in certain places,
Speaker 2: including to Be to Be, which we talked all about
Speaker 2: last week. It has the correct or at least according
Speaker 2: to me, recommended version I think it's also in some
Speaker 2: places called payback straight up, but I don't think on
Speaker 2: two B that's what they call it. I think that's
Speaker 2: just says payback, you gotta look for the time. Yes,
Speaker 2: and in any version. This movie is an adaptation of
Speaker 2: a classic revenge novel The Hunter by Richard Stark, which
Speaker 2: was technically Donald Westlake under a pseudonym. Oh, it is
Speaker 2: the original novel that introduced his character Parker. It's very famous.
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know that either. Well, here's my twis,
Speaker 3: I never saw a payback. Also, this is I was
Speaker 3: new to man man learn so much about paid back.
Speaker 2: You're gonna learn about payback. Yes, Well, part of the
Speaker 2: reason you didn't know it was a Parker movie, yeah,
Speaker 2: is because Mel Gibson, who is the star of the movie,
Speaker 2: doesn't play Parker. They changed the character's name to Porter.
Speaker 2: Don't ask me why, but they did. But the plot,
Speaker 2: if you do know The Hunter, it is very very close.
Speaker 2: Porter gets double crossed by his wife. He gets left
Speaker 2: for dead. They steal seventy thousand dollars of his money,
Speaker 2: and so he sets out for revenge.
Speaker 5: Not many men know in their life's work. I do
Speaker 5: seventy grand that's what they took from me. That's that
Speaker 5: was gonna get back.
Speaker 3: Does the song just James Brown's the Big Payback get
Speaker 3: played in Payback.
Speaker 2: You're putting me on the spot and I'm I want
Speaker 2: to say yes, but I'm not certain so because we
Speaker 2: want this movie. Yeah, it's a great song.
Speaker 3: That song was written for a movie called The Big
Speaker 3: Payback and then was not Yeah, and then and then
Speaker 3: was not used in the film, but James Brown released
Speaker 3: it anyhow. He also improvised the lyrics. Is he just
Speaker 3: learned that his girlfriend was two timing him? Oh, she's like,
Speaker 3: I got to get in the studio and like everybody
Speaker 3: made a groove and he just got in front of
Speaker 3: the mic and was just like the pay Back.
Speaker 2: Basically how we make the podcast everything. That's pretty much
Speaker 2: basically the same thing where artists on the level of
Speaker 2: James Brown.
Speaker 3: And he says the Big Payback, the Big Payback and
Speaker 3: one of the dumbest things on the internet, and this
Speaker 3: is coming from me, so it's got to be pretty dumb.
Speaker 3: There is if you go on YouTube and look around
Speaker 3: far enough, you will find an animated gift of Vic
Speaker 3: Tayback dancing to the Big tay Back a big Payback. Now,
Speaker 3: if you don't know who Vic tay Back is, google
Speaker 3: him and you go, oh that guy, So yeah, you can.
Speaker 3: You can watch a video of Vic tay Back as
Speaker 3: the Big Payback. Who is in Payback?
Speaker 2: I know Mel Gibson's Mel Gibson, Everyone's favorite person. He's
Speaker 2: everyone widely beloved by one doll.
Speaker 3: Who else is?
Speaker 2: I can tell you, though, I'll run down the cast list,
Speaker 2: but I do want to reiterate again. You want to
Speaker 2: make sure you watch the right version. You know, this
Speaker 2: is not like a vanity director's cut where they added
Speaker 2: a couple of a little more violence or a little
Speaker 2: more nudity. But it's basically the same film it is.
Speaker 2: It's a fairly different film.
Speaker 3: It's a Drimmer film. I'm shorter, which is better from
Speaker 3: Sam that I'm told that that the director's cut of
Speaker 3: Payback is ten minutes shorter than the Yes.
Speaker 2: It's the nine. It's like ninety minutes is the director's cut,
Speaker 2: which is like ten minutes shorter than the theatrical cut.
Speaker 3: They're paying it back so fast, it's like Zell. It
Speaker 3: didn't paying you back really fast?
Speaker 2: That's right, it's the Zell of of revenge movies. And
Speaker 2: it has.
Speaker 3: A difference away he just left it.
Speaker 2: Is, Yes, so it's shorter, it has a different villain,
Speaker 2: it has it looks different. They like color gratered it differently.
Speaker 2: It has a different ending, it has a different score.
Speaker 2: It is a very different movie. Supposedly, what happened was
Speaker 2: Mel Gibson again beloved by all you know he was.
Speaker 2: This was like him at the apex of his stardom basically,
Speaker 2: you know, like the mid to late nineties, and he
Speaker 2: he basically like took the movie over essentially like him,
Speaker 2: and the studio wanted this movie to become more of
Speaker 2: a lethal weapon, like you know, just basically him wise
Speaker 2: cracking more, make it more upbeat, make it more fun.
Speaker 2: And and the Parker novels generally are they're brutal and
Speaker 2: nasty and mean, they're very you know, kind of noir ish.
Speaker 2: And that was the movie that Helgelin wanted to make.
Speaker 2: And so the the Payback Director's cut or straight up
Speaker 2: or whatever it is, has more violence, and the character
Speaker 2: is much more brutal, and he's more of a jerk
Speaker 2: and he doesn't and you like the it's clearly made
Speaker 2: with the idea that we don't care if you like
Speaker 2: this character, and God knows Mel Gibson can play a
Speaker 2: character we don't like something. He actually does very well,
Speaker 2: whether you know, maybe he wanted to be more likable
Speaker 2: in the movie his version, but he's actually very good
Speaker 2: in the version where he's more you know, more awful.
Speaker 2: So that's that's my pick. Make sure you are the
Speaker 2: right version. I've never said that streaming on all of
Speaker 2: these places, Prime, Peacock, Pluto, Roku, too b YouTube, but
Speaker 2: just make sure you watch that shorter ninety minute director's.
Speaker 5: Cut my money, yes or no?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: All right, now's the time on our rex eg where
Speaker 2: we actually recommend titles for one listener who's written to
Speaker 2: us at our email address feedback at film SPOTTINGSVI dot com.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this week's is great. You want to know
Speaker 3: why it's so great?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: Because he compliments me. That's why it's so great. So uh,
Speaker 3: he gets well, why don't.
Speaker 2: You read the recommendation here? To read the request, I
Speaker 2: should say.
Speaker 3: This great ask in your glory, this great learned and
Speaker 3: righteous man by the name of Max. He wrote as follows,
Speaker 3: Hello to all at the Unit Love the podcast on
Speaker 3: Jordan's recommendation. I watched The in Laws last night and
Speaker 3: I'm still cracking up remembering some of the lines from
Speaker 3: the movie the next day. Yes, The in Laws is great,
Speaker 3: definitely better than Coda, though perhaps not Moonlight. Okay, fair
Speaker 3: enough to Jordan. All I can say regarding his recommendation
Speaker 3: is when you're right, You're right, which is a line
Speaker 3: from the movie Peter Falk says it. It's such a
Speaker 3: good movie. Also very much enjoying The Hunt for Red
Speaker 3: October another recommendation from a few weeks ago. I think
Speaker 3: that was one of yours, Matt. I thought I reach
Speaker 3: out and ask whether you'd consider doing a personal recommendation
Speaker 3: for me. Of course we would. That's what we do
Speaker 3: here on the rec sex Here he goes. I love
Speaker 3: lots of different types of movies, but my go to
Speaker 3: comfort watch has always been heist films. Heist films from Raffifi,
Speaker 3: which is The Jewels das in French movie, which is terrific,
Speaker 3: to Logan Lucky, which is the relatively recent Soderberg movie,
Speaker 3: which is pretty much a replay of Raffifi, which is
Speaker 3: also really good. But Matt and Jordan, please recommend the
Speaker 3: best heist films they've seen, especially if it's on one
Speaker 3: of the following platforms, Amazon, Netflix, Movie or Disney. Preferably,
Speaker 3: these would be lesser seen films, or perhaps ones that
Speaker 3: slightly subvert the genre. And he says, and this is
Speaker 3: kind of funny because this was one that I was
Speaker 3: thinking about. I recently watched The Delinquents on movie, which
Speaker 3: is a very untraditional heist film, and absolutely love The
Speaker 3: Delinquents I believe was from Argentina and maybe from twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four, give or take twenty twenty four to twenty five.
Speaker 3: Good movie. But he wants something different, so that's what
Speaker 3: he's asked for.
Speaker 2: Then he give you're recommending that classic heist film Star
Speaker 2: Trek for the Voyage Home they steal. It is a
Speaker 2: heist film.
Speaker 3: It totally is a heist film.
Speaker 2: They have to steel well, yeah, the vessels.
Speaker 3: They have to create. They have to steal plutonium, yes,
Speaker 3: and they have to steal something that they can put
Speaker 3: the whales in. They need transparent aluminum. That's what transparent
Speaker 3: illumine hasn't been invented yet. Wah wah.
Speaker 2: There's disguises, they go in disguises. I mean it really
Speaker 2: it actually, I mean I I was I was joking,
Speaker 2: but I'm it's a joke with the kernel of truth.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 3: It's a great film.
Speaker 2: So what is your actual lesser scene?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go first, and I'll make this quick because
Speaker 3: it's an idiotic movie. But a lesser scene is what
Speaker 3: I had to do. So you know, he mentioned he
Speaker 3: and he's already seen Raffifi and and and this movie.
Speaker 3: Logan Lucky. Logan Lucky also is under that movie was
Speaker 3: not a hit. It's great. I love it. So here
Speaker 3: we go from the year nineteen seventy six. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: start naming some actors that are in a movie, and
Speaker 3: you're gonna say they were all in a movie together.
Speaker 3: You're kidding me. So I'm gonna leave the top build
Speaker 3: last because then it might give it away. But the
Speaker 3: movie has in it Diane Keaton, who of course was
Speaker 3: a great comedian but also in serious films like Reds
Speaker 3: and Whatnot, real actress, Charles Derning, Michael Caine, Leslie and
Speaker 3: Warren Bert Young who you know from the Rocky films.
Speaker 3: Two guys who are not household names, but you'd know
Speaker 3: him if he saw I'm Dennis Dugan and Jack Guilford
Speaker 3: they're classic that guys from the seventies.
Speaker 2: I mentioned Mike Samus nodding, nodding, very intent. He's listening.
Speaker 3: You've seen it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's figured it out, but he
Speaker 2: was like he was really thinking, he hasn't.
Speaker 3: Michael Kane is the villain and he plays a real
Speaker 3: character from history, a fellow by the name of Adam
Speaker 3: Wirth who was a safe cracker who was British in
Speaker 3: the late eighteen hundreds and you know, around the turn
Speaker 3: of the century and was very celebrated. He was kind
Speaker 3: of like a celebrated outlaw. And the stars of this
Speaker 3: movie are James Kahan and Elliott Gould as two buddies.
Speaker 3: I think I stumped Sam. We've never stumped Sam before.
Speaker 3: They're two buddies. And this movie was a major It
Speaker 3: was a it was a major flop. But it's really
Speaker 3: good because it has that stacked cast. And it was
Speaker 3: originally going to be this is going to be like
Speaker 3: a butch casting The Sundance Kid because it's set back
Speaker 3: in the day and it's about two outlaws that are
Speaker 3: played by James Kahan and Elliott Gould. But then as
Speaker 3: the movie was made, it got Sillier and Sillier and
Speaker 3: Sillier and became a zany comedy. The movie is called
Speaker 3: Harry and Walter Go to New York, and no one
Speaker 3: has seen this movie.
Speaker 2: I only know about this movie, and I actually knew
Speaker 2: it once you got to the end, I knew what
Speaker 2: it was. I only know about it because Jordan talks
Speaker 2: about this movie almost as much as he talks about
Speaker 2: the Odyssey. That's the only reason I couldn't. I couldn't
Speaker 2: chime in because I was like, it's Harry and somebody
Speaker 2: go to New York. It's just a cock the movie.
Speaker 2: He's always talking about. Meet Harry Digby.
Speaker 4: He wants to be the ultimate conray and travel with
Speaker 4: high society.
Speaker 6: He's got chum, he's got confidence, He's got Walter.
Speaker 3: Harry and Walter Go to New York is a masterpiece
Speaker 3: in dumb comedy. Now here's the premise and metal shut up.
Speaker 3: So okay, it's Harry and Walter are two vaudevillians back
Speaker 3: in the day, and they do you know, they do
Speaker 3: like vaudeville shtick. They do. They sing and dance and
Speaker 3: there's a lot of original songs in it with funny
Speaker 3: lyrics and they do like magic tricks, but what they're
Speaker 3: really doing is they're stealing from the audience. So they
Speaker 3: pretend to be like, you know, Elliot Gould pretends to
Speaker 3: be a swammy from the East and he's like and
Speaker 3: then James Connor is like, oh, mysterious Swammy, tell me
Speaker 3: what you see. Meanwhile, he's picking the pocket of the
Speaker 3: old lady who's you know, in the in the music hall.
Speaker 3: So it's very funny, and they dream of being big gangsters.
Speaker 3: They dream of being Adam Worth, who is Michael Caine
Speaker 3: is this like uh, you know, patrician safecracker and it
Speaker 3: becomes like the road Runner and Coyote. They start chasing
Speaker 3: each other. Meanwhile, they meet up with Diane Keaton, who's
Speaker 3: playing like a young ardent communist and she hates Adam Worth,
Speaker 3: so they decide to team up with her, and they're
Speaker 3: gonna break Adam Worth. Is gonna is gonna steal from
Speaker 3: the Bank of Boston. There and the our team of
Speaker 3: wacky people are gonna steal from Adam Worth after he's
Speaker 3: stolen from it and give it to the poor because
Speaker 3: she runs a soup kitchen and that's the premise. But
Speaker 3: they're singing and dancing the whole way through because they're
Speaker 3: Vought Villians and that's how they do their stick as
Speaker 3: they sing and dance. And I tell you the movie
Speaker 3: is great. It's got Elliott Gould at the top of
Speaker 3: his game, handsome James Kahn right after The Godfather doing
Speaker 3: this silly movie, and it was set up to be
Speaker 3: a big hit and then it just just fell on
Speaker 3: its face with the audience and it was kind of
Speaker 3: a notorious flop at the time. But it deserves review,
Speaker 3: deserves a second look, and one can stream it. You
Speaker 3: gotta pay three ninety nine. But if you, if any
Speaker 3: listener out there in good faith streams this movie and
Speaker 3: spends three ninety nine and honestly says they dislike it,
Speaker 3: right to feedback and film Spotting SVU and Matt will
Speaker 3: reimburse you the money. Now he will venmo you. And
Speaker 3: now you're gonna like it. You're gonna it's a it's
Speaker 3: a funny movie. It's really very charming and the production
Speaker 3: design is great too. It's all like old time in
Speaker 3: New York. Please give it a look. I think you're
Speaker 3: gonna like it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, so it's rentable. You can't stream it
Speaker 2: right now, but it is. It is available for rent
Speaker 2: on any It is available for rent on Amazon and
Speaker 2: a bunch of other places. Yes, exactly, one of these days,
Speaker 2: I'll have to watch it, just so I don't have
Speaker 2: to listen to you when you talk about it. I'll
Speaker 2: the police be able to say.
Speaker 3: It's got such a stacked cast. Carol Kine is dancing
Speaker 3: and singing around. It's it's really funny, all right.
Speaker 2: So I can't yell at you for breaking the rules
Speaker 2: here and picking a thing that was only renting because
Speaker 2: I broke the rules a little bit here too, and
Speaker 2: that I picked something that wasn't on one of Max's services.
Speaker 2: But it is available to watch for free on Plex.
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that that it gets me.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: That's my get out of jail free card here. I
Speaker 2: think if he wants to rent it on Amazon after
Speaker 2: and make it a double feature with Harry and Walter
Speaker 2: Go to New York, you can do that too. But
Speaker 2: it's free on Plex. My pick of a lesser known
Speaker 2: heist film. It's also a seventies one, but a little
Speaker 2: a little earlier. It is The Anderson Tapes, directed by
Speaker 2: Sidney Lumet. This is one of my favorite lesser known
Speaker 2: heist films. It is also one that kind of subverts
Speaker 2: the genre a little bit, so maybe that helps. Like
Speaker 2: from what Max was saying, came out in nineteen seventy one,
Speaker 2: but in some ways it was ahead of its time.
Speaker 2: It seems to kind of anticipate the very paranoid thrillers
Speaker 2: that would start really coming out in droves around the
Speaker 2: Watergate era. There is barely a scene in this movie
Speaker 2: that does not involve some form of a security camera,
Speaker 2: a hidden microphone, a wiretap, and all of that is
Speaker 2: kind of underlined by this amazing Quincy Jones score in
Speaker 2: this film, one of the coolest scores in any seventies movie.
Speaker 2: It has all electronic bleeps and bloops and what was
Speaker 2: that made up word you used before, Jordan googaws Google's
Speaker 2: there's a lot of electronic Okay, well, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of electronic googaws in this score as well.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 2: The movie would be a great double feature. I don't
Speaker 2: know about Harry and Walter go to Europe. It would
Speaker 2: be a great double feature with the conversation, but it
Speaker 2: is also a heist movie. It stars Sean Connery as
Speaker 2: this wise cracking crook who it wouldn't shock me if
Speaker 2: this was one of the inspirations that Soderberg and Clooney
Speaker 2: used for Danny Ocean and Ocean's eleven, because as the
Speaker 2: movie begins, Connery's Duke Anderson is getting released from a
Speaker 2: long prison sentence. He immediately decides to find something new
Speaker 2: to rob, and he sets his sights on this condo
Speaker 2: building in Manhattan where his girlfriend played by Diane Cannon, lives.
Speaker 2: And what Duke does not know, what SHAWNK. Connery's character
Speaker 2: does not know, is the entire building is under surveillance.
Speaker 2: It's being watched. The mob boss that Sean Connery is
Speaker 2: kind of connected to that he uses as the as
Speaker 2: the kind of the bank roll for this operation is
Speaker 2: also being surveilled. And one of the things that makes
Speaker 2: it a unique heist movie is that the movie cuts
Speaker 2: back and forth with the heist and with like the
Speaker 2: police investigating the heist after the fact, and it doesn't
Speaker 2: spoil what's gonna happen, and it's a very kind of
Speaker 2: interesting way of doing it, and it is very fun.
Speaker 2: It's a Sydney Lumette film, so of course it is
Speaker 2: a New York film. It has incredible New York flavor.
Speaker 2: And this movie is the first film by a major
Speaker 2: film star that we all know and love. Christopher Walkin.
Speaker 2: He gets the introducing credit. You know it's Sean Connery,
Speaker 2: Diane Cannon and introducing Christopher Walkin.
Speaker 1: You must be one of those hardened criminals that corrupts
Speaker 1: the younger offender.
Speaker 4: I need you to bridge some burglar alarms, open doors,
Speaker 4: got some telephone circuits or you can do that.
Speaker 6: You a piso, set you up in business for yourself.
Speaker 4: Well so some set of a bitch can come still
Speaker 4: me blind.
Speaker 3: They ripuff everything in here, very stacked cast. You've also
Speaker 3: got Martin balsam Alan King. Yes, Garrett Morris is in this.
Speaker 3: Conrad Bain is in it, Margaret Hamilton is in this.
Speaker 3: Well I'm looking at I.
Speaker 2: Mean incredible cast. Connery is great in it. This is
Speaker 2: one of his first kind of breakout non bond roles
Speaker 2: that kind of made you know that he made in
Speaker 2: the early seventies as he was trying to get away
Speaker 2: from the bond thing. He doesn't have a two pay,
Speaker 2: his hair is not looking fantastic, and he and Lumette
Speaker 2: actually had a kind of They had a they're not
Speaker 2: really a famous duo, but they made a bunch of
Speaker 2: movies together.
Speaker 3: I had The Hill, The Hill is The Hill is?
Speaker 3: I love The Hill.
Speaker 2: The Hill is a very underrated movie. They also Murder
Speaker 2: on the Orient Express, which is a famous movie. And
Speaker 2: they made this very underseen, very dark movie called The Offense,
Speaker 2: which is really that's a nasty one, that's really bleak.
Speaker 2: Oh and they made a Family Business, which is a
Speaker 2: goofy comedy. Underrated.
Speaker 3: Also, David Mannett right then he may have well have
Speaker 3: to we would have to look.
Speaker 2: But yes, I think the Anderson tapes. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's I don't know if it's my favorite. I
Speaker 2: liked a bunch of those movies. I had a Lumet
Speaker 2: phase during COVID. That was one of my COVID Who
Speaker 2: am I I'm gonna watch every movie by Sidney Lumette
Speaker 2: and I watched a whole bunch of Sidney Lewette movies.
Speaker 3: Almost all of them are good.
Speaker 2: Almost all of them are good to great. Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and the Hill you mentioned that's one that's super underrated.
Speaker 2: I love the Hill, but that's not a heist movie.
Speaker 2: This is a heist movie. The Anderson Tapes. Super good,
Speaker 2: not very well known. You can watch it for free
Speaker 2: on Plex. You can rent it on Amazon. Check it out.
Speaker 3: I have seen this movie, but I saw it so
Speaker 3: long ago I barely remember it. I really want to
Speaker 3: see it again. But you're right, I mean at this time,
Speaker 3: this was seventy one, Like this is not that I
Speaker 3: forget the exact year that the first Thomas Crown Affair
Speaker 3: came out around maybe like two years earlier, early, like yeah,
Speaker 3: like back then. If you're making a heist movie, you
Speaker 3: gotta do some weird formal stuff like this. Like you say,
Speaker 3: it jumps around in times, got three different timelines. Thomas
Speaker 3: Crowd Affair, of course has the split screens and the
Speaker 3: chopped up scenes and whatnot. It's really fun stuff. But
Speaker 3: you know, I always, whenever when you said the Anderson Tapes,
Speaker 3: I always confuse that in my head with the Ipcris File,
Speaker 3: which is a very different movie. Have you seen that one,
Speaker 3: the Ippris File.
Speaker 2: I have seen the file.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's some and there's some. Uh, there were
Speaker 3: a sequels to that too. Billion Dollar Brain, Billion Dollar Brain. Yeah,
Speaker 3: a funeral in Berlin.
Speaker 2: They're Michael Kine movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're very different, but I always get I
Speaker 3: always get Anderson Tapes and if Chris File because they
Speaker 3: you know, a similar type of title.
Speaker 2: All right, let's run down the rec segg. Let's go
Speaker 2: back through all the recommendations here. Jordan recommended Star Trek
Speaker 2: for the Voyage Home.
Speaker 3: That's right, plus I reckon that's also, by the way,
Speaker 3: on Canopy. If you have a if you have a card,
Speaker 3: you know, library card, you can watch that on Canopy.
Speaker 2: Okay. I recommended Payback Revenge Film on Prime Video, Peacock,
Speaker 2: Pluto and two B. And then for our listener, Max,
Speaker 2: who loves Jordan, but we won't hold that against him,
Speaker 2: he recommends Jordan recommends Harry and Walter go to New
Speaker 2: York on VOD and I recommended the Anderson Tapes on Plex.
Speaker 2: And if you want a personalized recommendation, you can send
Speaker 2: us a note at feedback at Film Spotting svu dot com.
Speaker 2: Tell us what kind of movie you want, what sort
Speaker 2: of streaming services you use. We might ignore that, like
Speaker 2: we did this week. Sorry Max, but we try.
Speaker 3: Are there any is there like an archive of places
Speaker 3: where people can.
Speaker 2: It's funny you should mention that Jordan, there is As
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, if you want to see all
Speaker 2: the titles we have recommended on all the episodes of
Speaker 2: Film Spotting SVU so far, go to letterboxed and look
Speaker 2: for the list. Now streaming on Bazooga. Bazooga the name
Speaker 2: of the made up streaming service Jordan created on our
Speaker 2: very first episode when he was making fun of the
Speaker 2: stupid names of these streaming services. And it has a
Speaker 2: list of all the movies we've recommended. It has detailed
Speaker 2: notes if you click on the see read notes or
Speaker 2: whatever that option is. Sam producer Sam has done a
Speaker 2: fabulous job of maintaining it and also like running down
Speaker 2: what we recommended, why we recommended it, and where you
Speaker 2: can find it. So that's the place to go if
Speaker 2: you want recommendations.
Speaker 9: Bazzooga. When you gotta stream Bazzooga, it's cream.
Speaker 6: Of the crop.
Speaker 7: It's right at the top of your favorite streamings.
Speaker 3: Hey, Matt Singer, pull up a chair. The great producer
Speaker 3: of Sam is here and he's brought a new game.
Speaker 3: Now won the games twice in a row. You're coming up,
Speaker 3: You're you're coming up. I'm still I believe this is
Speaker 3: week fifteen now of the new show and I've won
Speaker 3: ten and you've won four. No, I've won ten and
Speaker 3: you've won three, and Sam's one.
Speaker 6: I won one.
Speaker 2: We tie. I think me and Sam tie.
Speaker 6: That could hear? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? The when I the one time I was the
Speaker 3: quiz master.
Speaker 2: You are still the overwhelming games.
Speaker 3: But you're on a street. Let's see if you can continue.
Speaker 3: So what's this? What's this week's games?
Speaker 6: Okay? So yes, the title of this game is multi
Speaker 6: Box letter Verse. I I wanted to try to come
Speaker 6: up with a multiverse inspired game based on reducts redo. Well,
Speaker 6: just compromise, it's I like, that's that's what that's really.
Speaker 6: So instead of hopping through a multiverse in search of
Speaker 6: a killer, we're hopping through the letterboxed multiverse in search
Speaker 6: of eleven correct answers. And this is the way we're
Speaker 6: gonna do. It's going to take ten minutes for me
Speaker 6: to explain how this game is going to work, but
Speaker 6: here we go. So the starting point is going to
Speaker 6: be all of the films Matt Singer has logged a
Speaker 6: reviewed on Letterboxed, sorted by date of entry, going back
Speaker 6: to how far how far back is your letterbox to go?
Speaker 5: Mad?
Speaker 2: Do you remember I'm gonna guess like twenty twelve.
Speaker 6: Oh, see, what I have is twenty eighteen. Is that possible?
Speaker 6: Was it that late?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: It's definitely older than that for sure.
Speaker 6: Okay, it's it doesn't really matter. I just need a
Speaker 6: starting place. So if you go into I'm on my desktop. Here,
Speaker 6: I'm on a laptop, so it's a little different the
Speaker 6: interface if you want to play this at home, I
Speaker 6: should say the interface on a desktop is a little
Speaker 6: bit different than on your phone. So just to explain
Speaker 6: the layout here. If you go into if you sort
Speaker 6: all of Matt Singer's a letterbox titles that he's logged
Speaker 6: or reviewed, what you get is a row of twelve films. Okay,
Speaker 6: so twelve films. We're going to start with choosing a
Speaker 6: number between one and twelve, which will of course be
Speaker 6: one of these films, and that's how it's the portal
Speaker 6: we're going to enter the multi force verson. Okay, so
Speaker 6: you're picking a film boort directory and you're picking the
Speaker 6: portal into the multi box letter verse. Okay, for that
Speaker 6: film you choose, I'm going to name the first actor
Speaker 6: listed in the cast list. Yeah, and if it's your turn,
Speaker 6: you're going to tell me one of that actor's five
Speaker 6: most popular films. Okay, this is how you are in
Speaker 6: the points. We've got to the NATA. So if you
Speaker 6: get it correct, we're going to enter that portal the
Speaker 6: film you you you named one of the top five
Speaker 6: most popular.
Speaker 3: So if you say the Anderson Tapes and I say
Speaker 3: Sean Connery, and then I say doctor No, and I
Speaker 3: get it right, then we go to doctor.
Speaker 6: Now, this is exactly right. Okay, then, and this is
Speaker 6: how we're going to alternate. So this is not a
Speaker 6: buzzing situation again. This is we're going to take turns
Speaker 6: and the first person to eleven. Unless this takes too long,
Speaker 6: we're gonna maybe it'll be five. But if if we're
Speaker 6: moving through fast, which we might, we're gonna go pickleball
Speaker 6: rules and it's the first to eleven winning by two. Okay,
Speaker 6: this is how we're gonna try.
Speaker 3: It, all right, who gets to go first?
Speaker 6: Matt has won two games in a row. He is
Speaker 6: going to choose a number between one and twelve. Go ahead, Matt, anytime,
Speaker 6: go ahead.
Speaker 2: Let's let's I'm gonna say number seven.
Speaker 6: Okay, one, you have chosen inception. Okay, So the the
Speaker 6: topill top build actor, of course, is Leonardo DiCaprio. We're
Speaker 6: entering the Letterbox multiverse.
Speaker 2: The DiCaprio verse.
Speaker 6: You have to name one of his five most popular films. Again,
Speaker 6: the multiverse is just this is just me, this is
Speaker 6: just you. The letterbox multiverses is very quirky. How they
Speaker 6: how they determined what is the most popular. I'm not
Speaker 6: in charge of that, Okay, nobody knows, nobody.
Speaker 2: So I need to name one of the five films
Speaker 2: that Letterbox describes as the most script The top is
Speaker 2: just one, and that's one. I should do that now,
Speaker 2: just one? Pretty well, I will say, Once upon a
Speaker 2: Time in Holliday.
Speaker 3: That's your pick, not Titanic. What the hell's the matter
Speaker 3: with you?
Speaker 6: Okay? This is good, this is helpful. So once upon
Speaker 6: a Time in Hollywood is the number five? You were
Speaker 6: very close the number five most popular? Okay, Titanic is
Speaker 6: not among the top five. Okay, Okay, So here we go.
Speaker 2: So I use a lot of Letterbox store and I'm
Speaker 2: on there fifteen times a day.
Speaker 6: I have entered the Once upon a Time in Hollywood portal.
Speaker 6: And we we are not going to go with Leo again.
Speaker 6: Who is the top build actor in this film. But
Speaker 6: we're going to move down to number two and that's
Speaker 6: Brad Pitt. So Jordan name one of Brad Pitt's top five.
Speaker 3: Well, I've just had the rug completely pulled for me.
Speaker 6: And you cannot use Once upon a Time in Hollywood
Speaker 6: if no.
Speaker 3: But I would assume that Titanic in the top five.
Speaker 2: Can he pick from one of the top six. You'll
Speaker 2: give him a grace one.
Speaker 3: Let's worry about that when we get there. Go ahead, Okay, Well,
Speaker 3: I'm truly in a state of shock because I would
Speaker 3: assume that Titanic is the most famous Leo movie of
Speaker 3: almost popular So what are the other Brad Pitt movies? Uh?
Speaker 1: Huh uh.
Speaker 3: And there's a ticking clock on this.
Speaker 6: We're never going to make two eleven. Okay, so go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well I have to think, because I I'm stunned. I
Speaker 3: don't even know.
Speaker 2: He's vamping. He's vamping. He can't think.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to say I don't know. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: say Thelma and Louise the thing that.
Speaker 6: Okay, no, wrong, I don't know, Okay, So I will
Speaker 6: what we will do here, we will go back into
Speaker 6: Once upon a timehod for you. It's back to you, Matt.
Speaker 6: You're up one zero. We're going to move past Brad Pitt, two, Margot, Robbie,
Speaker 6: and I just need a top five film.
Speaker 3: Oh please?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well for Margot Robbi, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6: Barby is, of course number one, you got it?
Speaker 5: Go?
Speaker 6: Okay, So entering Barbie, So here we go, George. He
Speaker 6: could feel his fourteen to one lead whatever slipping away
Speaker 6: with the Okay Barbie, of course, we've already Margot Robbie.
Speaker 6: We're moving on, of course, to Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 3: Ryan Gosling, all right, so I'm gonna go with the
Speaker 3: recent hit project Hail Mary.
Speaker 6: You got it. It's number three, okayk God, yeah, Project
Speaker 6: Hail Mary. Of course. Now it's back to Matt, the
Speaker 6: number two star. Oh, this is gonna be tricky. It
Speaker 6: is the rock I was. I was thinking it wasn't
Speaker 6: going to be the Rock, but it is. Okay that
Speaker 6: he does no other credits, So we're gonna skip over
Speaker 6: James Ortiz Rocky and move right on to Sondra Huler.
Speaker 8: Okay, it's only been in a couple of months to
Speaker 8: five Yeah, okay, I'm gonna I think she was in
Speaker 8: Tony Erdman number four.

Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we What are we gonna do now?
Speaker 3: That guy, the old guy. I don't know what else.
Speaker 2: I wish I could say I did that strategically, but
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 3: I think I know something else that this man was.
Speaker 6: His name is Peter simonsak Simanachek.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I think I remember him running around a
Speaker 3: little bit in Force Masure. Wasn't he in that movie?
Speaker 6: Okay? He was not in Force? Sure, we're gonna have
Speaker 6: to what I'm gonna have to do.
Speaker 2: Return to the starting point of perhaps.
Speaker 3: What was that guy? What else was he in? What was?
Speaker 3: What's his number?
Speaker 6: There is one other title, but I don't know why
Speaker 6: you'd know this. He was in Fantastic Beasts The Secrets
Speaker 6: of Dumbledore in twenty twenty two. Kay, it's the only
Speaker 6: other title.
Speaker 2: Beloved franchise. Everybody is waiting for the next film.
Speaker 3: Remember for fifteen minutes they were going to remake Tony
Speaker 3: Ordman with Jack Nicholson in the League. Yes, Yes, that
Speaker 3: would have been it was the thing? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Was it was it? And was Kristin Wig is going
Speaker 2: to be?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Going to be. I mean, there's no need to
Speaker 3: make the movie. I love it's so good.
Speaker 2: As it's a great movie. Yes, that was going to
Speaker 2: be like his uh you know, his comeback.
Speaker 6: And maybe his his like last Hurrahs, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Swan song and comeback.
Speaker 6: Yes, but it's so we There is a button we
Speaker 6: can push which removed, which returns us to our what
Speaker 6: do you what were you calling it? Where we were prime?
Speaker 6: We universe did into the prime universe prime. Okay, I
Speaker 6: love it Prime, not necessarily our universe, but universe Prime.
Speaker 6: So Matt, let's pick a number between one and twelve again.
Speaker 6: You picked seven last time.
Speaker 2: Right before we do that? What is this three?
Speaker 6: And we need to get to eleven?
Speaker 2: I will this time, I will say number two.
Speaker 6: Number two? Okay? Interesting, Well again, this is your letterboxed
Speaker 6: films list, and the film is swept Away, Guy Ritchie's
Speaker 6: Swept Away starring Madonna, So all I need Donna is
Speaker 6: one of her top five film.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna, I'm gonna just throw out Dick Tracy.
Speaker 6: Tracy is number five. That's four. Well done, okay, so
Speaker 6: we can go right to Warren Batty to you sure, okay.
Speaker 2: I'll I mean Look, that's a movie with a lot
Speaker 2: of people. Yeah, and Warren Batty, come.
Speaker 3: I'll say Reds.
Speaker 6: Reds is number five? Well done? Oh that was that's risky.
Speaker 6: And now we've just we were just talking about Diane
Speaker 6: Keaton earlier. I believe yep, she's number two. Matt, it's
Speaker 6: back to Europe for too.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 6: This is this is.
Speaker 2: Because getny what I I mean, go for it. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to think if there's one that won't just be
Speaker 2: a gimme for Jordan, what that would be in this level.
Speaker 6: That's true too.
Speaker 2: I didn't think about this strategy and the strategy of
Speaker 2: is there one.
Speaker 3: If you say the movie that most people associate her with,
Speaker 3: you you end me. You end me with a guy
Speaker 3: who's made seven hundred thousand movies, So who knows what
Speaker 3: the top five is?
Speaker 2: That's okay, fine, that's a good point. That's a good point.
Speaker 2: All right, Well I guess then I have to say,
Speaker 2: I guess I'll say Annie.
Speaker 6: Hall, Okay, that's five, it's five two. And here we
Speaker 6: enter the Annie Hall verse, and of course we're we're
Speaker 6: talking Woody. Now what are your top five? What are adular?
Speaker 3: And it's Woody Allen as an actor, not as an actor. Correct,
Speaker 3: So I can't say Midnight in Paris, which was a
Speaker 3: big hit, because he ain't in it. Well, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do. I'm going to say, Hannah and
Speaker 3: her Sisters.
Speaker 6: Number four, you got it, well done? It is five
Speaker 6: three Hannah and her sisters Woody is no. Mia Farrow
Speaker 6: is built first. Of course she's the hand.
Speaker 2: This is a tough one.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, there's obvious Rosemary's there. It is six three,
Speaker 3: christ I get John Cassavettis.
Speaker 6: It is John Cassavetti's You got it? Okay?
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: Geez as an actor as an actor, but like you know,
Speaker 3: you gotta think Letterbox now. Now, now you know he
Speaker 3: won the Oscar for the Dirty Dozen. So but that's
Speaker 3: not what Letterbox associates him with. Letterbox.
Speaker 6: Now you're saying, Jordan, here we go, let's go.
Speaker 3: Letterbox associates him with the John Cassavetti's movies. Okay, So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna roll the dice here. M h I'm gonna
Speaker 3: roll the dice and I'm gonna say, husbands.
Speaker 6: You were on the right track. Oh wait a minute, no,
Speaker 6: you're right. I'm sorry I didn't see the title there
Speaker 6: Husbands is number five, so it's Rosemary's Baby, Mikey and Nicky,
Speaker 6: Opening Night, Love Streams, and Husband's number five. Okay, it
Speaker 6: is man.
Speaker 3: I should have said Mikey and Nicky. Of course Letterbox
Speaker 3: loves that movie, so the dirty doesn't gets the diss.
Speaker 3: He won the Oscar. That's the one that everybody in
Speaker 3: back in the day knew him for. But no more.
Speaker 6: Okay, so now we've entered husbands and we are at
