This is harsh, This is. 67 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: Honestly, this would have been I this was the thousand 68 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: dollars question, so there was a WNBA question. Here It 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: is cut twenty eight. 70 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 5: This Yukon star had an intense spring in twenty twenty five, 71 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 5: playing on her first national championship team and being picked 72 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 5: first in the w NBA draft. 73 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean Caitlyn Clark, but that's a good guess, and 74 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: in fact, you and ra Hul would have been in 75 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: in cahoots.

To be fair, I don't think you 80 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: would have guessed Kaitlyn Clark because they do have the 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: picture up. So if you were on Jeopardy like this, 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: this player is blonde, uh and Kaitlyn Clark is brown haired, 83 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: so I think you would have Probably that's a tough one. 84 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: That was the thousand dollars question, but you did get 85 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: the safety right Sunday, hang with Clay and Buck. Congrats 86 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: as you just heard Buck Sexton successfully knowing how many 87 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: points of safety is worth, unlike two thirds of the 88 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: Jeopardy contestants. 89 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: Uh. 90 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: Gonna have a little bit of fun here, and this 91 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: is all real. But I want to how funny is 92 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: that Wolf Blitzer clip? I mean that that. 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: He would I mean for everybody out there watching, he 94 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: is held up as one of the brainiacs of CNN, Right, 95 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 2: wouldn't you say that's probably fair to say that wolf 96 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: Blitzer is seen as one of the smarter guys on 97 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: the air at CNN. 98 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I think that's probably fair. Well, I don't know if 99 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: it's as a result of his Jeopardy appearance, but people 100 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: have been suggesting that he's like the confused fool for 101 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: a while now. Okay, I think so, but I don't know. 102 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: To be fair, he's probably I mean, he's got to 103 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: be over seventy now, right, like that clip was from 104 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 2: two thousand and nine. 105 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: I will say, I will say I have heard from 106 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: people within this CNN world for a long time. He's 107 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: actually a pretty pretty I've heard him super nice guy. Yeah, 108 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: he's a nice guy. So I will give him a 109 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: polo credit on he's apparently a good dude, and we're 110 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: having a little bit of fun at his expense. But 111 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: he's paid millions of dollars and he's had a good 112 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: run and so you know, but he is apparently fair 113 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: unlike most of the CNN anchors, and I could go 114 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: through chapter and verse he's apparently a nice guy. To 115 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: be fair, if I went on Celebrity Jeopardy and I 116 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: lost five thousand dollars, it would go insanely megaviral and 117 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: I would. I mean I would have to own it. 118 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: Right, but all the clips of me missing the questions 119 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: and everything else, it would Actually it would probably be 120 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: better for me to go and lose a ton of 121 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: money than to win a ton of money, because if 122 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: I won tons of money, nobody would share it. They 123 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: would be like, oh whatever, Clay Travis, still stupid meani 124 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: head more on, if I lost like five thousand dollars, 125 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: everybody that hates me would share it. So it probably 126 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: would go more viral for a collapse than actually being successful. Okay, 127 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: I tweeted this last night. I got a sense that 128 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: my take this is all real. I got a sense 129 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 2: that my take on Superman the New movie had gone 130 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: megaviral because yesterday I woke up and I had an 131 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: email from a japan news agency asking if they could 132 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: interview me for my take on the new Superman movie. 133 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: So when you see the Suntori commercials with Clay Travis 134 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: in them or sapporo, you will know that this is 135 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: that Clay's big in Japan. Let's just say it, Clay 136 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: is big in Japan. 137 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: In my entire career of telling tons of sharing sun 138 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: tons of opinions on everything under the Sun. There has 139 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: never been any request for me to be interviewed by 140 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: any Japanese news agency. 141 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: Well, Cook, I think the one part we have to 142 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: let everybody know, though, is that the director James Gunn 143 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: I used to be. I will say, if we were 144 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: talking like late nineties, early two thousands movies, I was 145 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: absolutely dialed in. I have my favorite directors, my favorite actors, 146 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, excited about I don't even know who's I 147 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: don't know who's been directing movies for the last ten years. 148 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: I basically have no idea. I don't pay attention because 149 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: I think most movies absolutely stink. Almost all of them 150 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: absolutely stink. Now he said something though, here's the quote. 151 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: Here's the James gun quote. So this is where it 152 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: all started. 153 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: On a Variety magazine, which is like a Hollywood celebrity magazine, 154 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: shared a story and said, James Gunn says Superman is 155 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: about an immigrant that came from other places. How we've 156 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: lost the value of basic human kindness. Yes, it's about politics. 157 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: That was James Gunn's take. He is the director of 158 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: the new Superman movie that is opening. I think maybe 159 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: already are out or opening today or whatever else. I 160 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: tweeted three days ago, and this is true. I'm gonna 161 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: skip seeing Superman. The director is a moron to say 162 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: this publicly the week before release. America is desperate for 163 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: a political entertainment. Hollywood's unable to deliver it. And then 164 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: I continued, I said, I made a fun movie. I 165 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: hope every one of all backgrounds and enjoys. Is it 166 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: that hard to say this when you've been given hundreds 167 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: of millions of dollars of studio money to make a 168 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: summer blockbuster. It feels like Tom Cruise is the only 169 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: Hollywood superstar who still gets this. That's what I don't 170 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: even think of all my takes, Like I think that 171 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: is like one of the most tepid, non hot take, 172 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: non crazy takes. It has evidently gone megavirul le and 173 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: the Superman community of fans is furious at me, and 174 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: this buck just in the last I don't know a 175 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: little bit on social media. I got the following messages 176 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: sent to me on Instagram from Superman fans. These are 177 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: people that are furious at me. This is a representative sample. 178 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: I am deluged in angry Superman fan messages. Here is 179 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: one hey word that you can't say on the radio. 180 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: I just want to let you know Superman has been 181 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: an immigrant since he was created, and that calling stuff 182 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: woke means you can't find a good reason to complain. 183 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: You're being a bitch, You're an idiot, wrong, You're being used, 184 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: You piece of blank. Go kill yourself. James Gunn isn't 185 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: the moron you are. Your family will burn for this. Whoa, 186 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: Your family will burn for the idea that's from my 187 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: Superman movie. Take okay, it's got a good idea to 188 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: go mega political. 189 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: This is crazy town. Can I give you I'm gonna 190 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: give you a few things here. First of all, Superman 191 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: is not an immigrant. If we're gonna play this conversation 192 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: out a little bit, let's do it. Okay, Superman is 193 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: an alien. He is not a human being who is 194 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: subject to another jurisdiction on this planet and has citizenship elsewhere. 195 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: He is from another planet. Now, that to me is 196 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: actually a good case, especially when your home planet has 197 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: been destroyed, as Superman's has. If I remember my comic 198 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: book lore, Superman, if anything, would be an asylum seeker, 199 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: unlike all of the people who are showing up in 200 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: America pretending that their planet was blown up, so to speak, 201 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: pretending they can't go back to their home country. They 202 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: are just fraudsters. So Superman is an an alien, not 203 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: an illegal alien, but an actual alien from another planet. 204 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: Does not have a jurisdiction on planet Earth that he 205 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: should be in other than America. And I think under 206 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: any reasonable view of asylum law, his home planet is gone, 207 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: so I don't think he can go back. So I 208 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: think that you could say he's a credible assyle. Okay, 209 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: you that is amazing. You are gonna be nerding out 210 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: because my wife. 211 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: Is a superhero movie junkie, super nerd. All the boys 212 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: go to all the movies and everything else. She actually 213 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: was upset that all the super Superman people are mad 214 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: at me, and she sent me this because you're gonna 215 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: build on this. 216 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: Buck. She's also a lawyer. 217 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: She said they're totally wrong, and she said what you 218 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: just said, Buck, Superman is actually a true asylum seeker. 219 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: His planet was destroyed, all his culture and people are destroyed. 220 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: His first landing is on American soil in Kansas. This 221 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 2: is Laura Travis Lawyer. He's orphaned as his parents die, 222 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 2: so he's legally adopted by the kents who are American citizens, 223 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: thus giving him American citizenship even if not for one 224 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: and two. He has unique talents of great use to 225 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: the US that would be impossible to find after a 226 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: thorough search for other candidates, thus qualifying him for eb 227 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 2: DASH one, a controversially visa and legal channel to full citizenship. 228 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: On top of all this, he ends up being one 229 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: of the most productive and useful members of society, choosing 230 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: to hold two full time jobs as both a journalist 231 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: and a crime fighting superhero. 232 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: Now this is also absolutely, absolutely spot on Crew. I 233 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: didn't know that that was I didn't know that Laura 234 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: had written any of that. It's absolutely correct. So the people, 235 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: the director of this movie saying he's just like an immigrant, 236 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: no jackass, that's not even that's not even vaguely correct. 237 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: And this also builds on something that I that I 238 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: was getting at when this went megaviral. I would believe 239 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: if you gave me Buck, if you if you and I, 240 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: if I left this show and I suddenly became a 241 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: Hollywood movie director, if you gave me hundreds of millions 242 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 2: of dollars to make a movie, it might well end 243 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: an utter disaster. Remember, Fox had to sell off the 244 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 2: lot at the Pico and Motor part of it where 245 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 2: the Westfield Mall is now for those of you out 246 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: in LA, because they lost so much money on Cleopatra 247 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: with Elizabeth Taylor back in the day for the movie nerds. 248 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: So it may well end in unmitigated disaster and the 249 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 2: company might lose tons of money. But it wouldn't be 250 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: because I said to half the country, hey, I'm trying 251 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: to make an intensely political movie. I would go full 252 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan Republicans by sneakers too. I don't think it 253 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: would have been smart. James gunn to say, Hey, I 254 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: think it's super timely that Superman would come out right 255 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: now because Donald Trump is a super president and he's 256 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: super man like in the way that he responded to 257 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: the assassination attempt. And I think that if you hate Trump, 258 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: you shouldn't come see this movie. 259 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: Well, that wouldn't be smart, right. I actually would agree 260 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: with that take, But it wouldn't be smart if you're 261 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: trying to appeal to the whole swath of America. And 262 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: I mean, look, we got a lot of people who 263 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: listen in LA and we've talked about this before. 264 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 2: When is Hollywood going to recognize that the reason why 265 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is the last Superstar is because he just 266 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: wants to make a political popcorn movies that everybody can 267 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: sit and watch, that aren't trying to indoctrinate you in 268 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: any way and are just about entertaining you for a 269 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: great summer movie, right. I just I don't understand why 270 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: these people can't get it through their heads that a 271 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: political entertainment that everybody can watch it should be the goal. 272 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: No, because the goal these are communists. Their goal is 273 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: the indoctrination they view that they've reached a point like 274 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: James Gunn is already very rich, already has all the 275 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: connections he needs. It is more important to him to 276 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: make a movie that he can virtue signal to his 277 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: lib friends in Hollywood about than to make a movie 278 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: that makes a ton of money at this point, like 279 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: if he has to choose between those two things otherwise, 280 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: how do you explain things like snow White, which was 281 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: an absolute disaster, hundreds of millions lost, and we knew 282 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: it was going to lose money the whole time. We're 283 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: not making that movie. But it's because they're so ideologically 284 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: committed that it is not profit motive first, That's what 285 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: they used to say. I might add they you say, oh, 286 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: we're just doing what makes money. That's not true. They 287 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: care more about the mission of indoctrination than they do 288 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: making money with these films. And you see it over 289 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: and over again because every time we say this is 290 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: going to be a disaster, there's gonna be a bomb. 291 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: It pretty much is. The Only exception of that is 292 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: the Barbie movie, which was so bad. Was so bad. 293 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: I've still never seen it. Oh I watched. I couldn't 294 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: get through it. I tried. I watched some of it. 295 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, this is just trash, trash, and is that 296 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: just It was successful because they were just they were 297 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: marketing it was gary to women and it's like girl 298 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: it was a whole girl power thing, like oh like 299 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: Barbie and the nostalgia and everything else. It is an 300 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: absolutely garbage movie, absolutely garbage movie. And I you know, 301 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: just like people Clay I used to say that Hamilton 302 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: was garbage when people were waiting in line for like 303 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: three days for tickets. Okay, I was like, guys, I 304 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: just know it's garbage, and it is garbage. And now 305 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: more and more people agree with me. Because it's just 306 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: what it is, Barbie. Eventually everyone's gonna realize nonsense. And 307 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: don't get me started on Avatar. Those of you who 308 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: like Avatar, Yeah, but Avatar is not to me as 309 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: aggressively political. I know, James Campbell, Fern Gully with some 310 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: laser guns or whatever. It's preposterous, but it made it 311 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: made a lot. I think that there. It did make 312 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: a lot of It didn't make a lot of but 313 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: that was because the technology. It wasn't because of the storyline. 314 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: It was because of the three D and all that stuff. 315 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, somebody out there in Hollywood is 316 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 2: gonna get smart enough to just say, I'm not hiring 317 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: any of these woke bs moron people. We're just gonna like, 318 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: whoever Tom Cruise wants to work with, we're gonna double, triple, 319 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 2: quadruple down with him. All he cares about is making 320 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 2: movies that are gonna be super entertaining, and that's what 321 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: we're gonna focus on. And you're gonna mint money. You 322 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: are gonna make money hand over fist. Because I just 323 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: see stuff like this all the time and it just 324 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: makes me throw my hands up because I wanted to 325 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 2: go see Superman. I mean, I'm a I'm a you know, 326 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: Middle America guy like I like to go sit in 327 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: the movies and have popcorn. I still like going to 328 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: the movie theater. I want to go see the new 329 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 2: Jurassic Park, even though I'm sure it's like a total trash. 330 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: Oh, Michael Crichton is rolling over in his grave. Good Heaven. 331 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: I enjoy seeing dinosaurs on the movie screen. I like 332 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: seeing fighter jets blow things up. I mean, I am 333 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 2: the average American consumer. Why would you alienate anybody from Superman? 334 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: You could easily say Superman is an aspirational goal that 335 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: is about everyone fulfilling the best possible abilities of their 336 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 2: own innate gifts. Like, it's so easy to sell this movie. 337 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 2: Just don't tell me that it's political and about immigration. 338 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 2: By the way, when most people are opposed right now 339 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 2: to the immigration policies, not even fifty to fifty we 340 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 2: talked about this. It's like sixty five thirty five the 341 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: guys a moron. Anyway, I thought you guys would enjoy it. 342 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: I do think it's important culturally. But there's people out 343 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 2: there that are furious at me for saying, hey, you know, 344 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 2: maybe Superman should just kind of appeal to everybody and 345 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: not be some sort of woke version of Hollywood fantasy. 346 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: And when you say that, the little fanboys come running 347 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 2: and uh and tell me my family should burn, My. 348 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: Family should burn for my Superman take of all things? 349 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: What is the best Superman? Well, I think it's clear 350 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: the best Superman of all time, other than of course 351 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: our friend Dean Kane, who's fantastic as a person. But 352 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: I don't think the Superman show pounds because that's a show, 353 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: not a movie. We're talking movies. Just clearing the category 354 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: here would be, uh, you know what I'm talking about. 355 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: The guy, the Superman guy that he was the Superman 356 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: for years, and the Chris forrief, thank you. That's the 357 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: best Superman. That's the best Superman. I think, no question 358 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: about it. And uh, the other Dean Kan, Dean Kin's 359 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: probably listening right now. Maybe he wants to call in. 360 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: No no, I said, we love Dean, we love Deed. 361 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: But that's a show. That's not a movie. We're talking 362 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: movies here. It's going super. 363 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: Political here, you know, Tim going back, try toll for everybody. 364 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 2: J Sepher Reeve was a great Superman in when that 365 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 2: come out nineteen seventy eight, the Original Superman. 366 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: Those movies also were just you can watch them with 367 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: your whole family, yes, and and it was good versus evil, 368 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: and it just they're like it was like a fun, 369 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: good experience to watch them. And they're really in some 370 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: ways almost like you know, the modern modern fable or 371 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: modern modern asopsa. You know, it's just I thought it 372 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: did really, you know, it was just great stuff. And 373 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: they can't make a damn good Superman Superman movie to 374 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: save their lives anymore, even they had the super handsome 375 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: guy Henry Cavill. His Superman movies trash trash. Why is 376 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: it so hard? Clay? I could write a good Superman 377 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: movie in a week. 378 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: I feel like DC comics in general have really kind 379 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: of bombed compared to the Marvel movies. 380 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 1: And I got I got still more takes. But but 381 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: just make movies everybody can love. Just make them design 382 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: for everybody. It's not hard. Sunday Drop with Clay and 383 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: Buck Joe from Mesa, Arizona. 384 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 6: Joe and Mesa. I was trying to explain to my friend, 385 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 6: just like why most of America doesn't even care about 386 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 6: the deportations that are happening, and he flipped out on 387 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 6: me and was saying that I needed to admit that 388 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 6: I hate every other race other than my own anyways. 389 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 6: So in the end, they're just totally brainwashed and there's 390 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 6: nothing you can do. 391 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: The law either matters or a dozen has nothing to 392 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: do with race, has to do with being a rule 393 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: of law society. 394 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: Clay, Yeah, and look, I think that a lot of 395 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 2: people are dialed out and just randomly buy into all 396 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 2: of the historyonics. I mean, I think a perfect example 397 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 2: of this is, you know we're gonna hit right now. 398 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: The stock market is up again today for another high. 399 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: It was only two months ago that they were telling 400 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: you that everything was going to collapse and that you 401 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: needed to make sure that you sold all your stocks 402 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: and that we were headed for basically a nuclear winter 403 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: and from an economic perspective, and it just hasn't happened. 404 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: And so I think the total fear there is it 405 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: works on a lot of people, and they are aware 406 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 2: that emotionally they can play on people's failings as it 407 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: pertains to that. 408 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: Basically we have next up here a lot of Lord 409 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: of the Rings nerds in this audience. Oh we didn't 410 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: get we said we were going to do the movie thing. Yeah, 411 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: that's why I thought of Times. I was doing my 412 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: research here New York Times Best. Now, this is a 413 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a frustration because people don't pay. It's 414 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: like when you had a teacher that said, make sure 415 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: you read the instructions for the exam before you take 416 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: the exam. It's the best movies of the twenty first century. 417 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: So anybody who's jumping in with Braveheart or you know 418 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: which I love and would be my overall choice, overall 419 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: favorite movie all time. That's nineteen ninety eight, I think, 420 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: or six or I forget when to nine, I don't know, 421 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: but it was. It was definitely in the twentyeth twenty 422 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: two zero, twenty eighth century, twenty first century Best Movies 423 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: of the twenty first century. This is this is the 424 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: New York Times list that came out. We got a 425 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: pat producer. I got all of you to tell me 426 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: your picks, and I thought they were pretty solid. And 427 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: let's say all of you, I mean our team in 428 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: New York, New York team. Let's start with you, Ali. Producer, Ali, 429 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: what was your best movie of the twenty first century? 430 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: You had time to think about this. So you're on 431 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: the hot seat now if you forgot what is it? 432 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm totally on the hot seat. I had 433 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: gone with Gladiator, but I had the years all wrong. Yeah, 434 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: I it came about hold on gil Ladie. Two thousand. Yes, 435 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: it counts in the New York Times list. It does 436 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: because that's technically the twenty eighth century. 437 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: They have it down at ninety two, so they are 438 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: counting anything that's two thousand and beyond. 439 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: Well, that's an outrage. First of all, the fact that 440 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: they're counting it and they're putting it at ninety two 441 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: is an outrage because Ali, I'd be it would be 442 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: a top fiver for me, top fiver for sure. They 443 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: put Parasite at number one a foreign film, as the 444 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: best movie of the twenty first century, which which I 445 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: think is mad at producer Mike. What was yours? You 446 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: had a good one? Dark Knight? Were you Dark Knight 447 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: or was that Greg? What does producer Mike say? Producer 448 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: Dark Knight? Yeah, he was Dark Knight solid. I can't 449 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: quibble with that. I have watched that movie probably one 450 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: hundred times. I enjoyed the Dark Knight. He really brought 451 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: back people think now all the Batman franchise, huge franchise 452 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: that was. It was on the ropes after a couple 453 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: of really bad Batman movies that bombed big time, including 454 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: one with I think the girl from Clueless was in it, 455 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: Alicia Silverstone. There was a George Klue No don't even remembers. 456 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: George Clooney played Batman and it was such a bad 457 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: movie that people don't even remember that he was Batman. 458 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: So so the Dark Knight was came back from The 459 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: Batman Begins and The Dark Knight both great, great options. 460 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: Remember twenty first century, we're looking at Clay, what was yours? 461 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: I broke it down trio meaning because to me, there 462 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 2: is there's a difference between a kid movie, there's a 463 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: difference between a comedy, and there's a difference between a 464 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: dramedy drama. So I went with I agree the whole 465 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 2: Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight, that that is 466 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: really phenomenal, well done up. 467 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: I think was the best of the Pixar movies. Up 468 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: If You Up is so well done. And then I 469 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: think the funniest movie of the twenty first century. I 470 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: think it's old school. I just think it is absolutely hysterical. Funny. Well, 471 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: that's not even a category. Now you're making up categories funniest. 472 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: I think Old School is the funniest movie of the 473 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: twenty first century. What's about what's funnier than Old School? 474 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I think forty year old Virgin's funnier than 475 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: Old School. 476 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 2: Forty year old version is very funny. Super Bad is 477 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: very funny. Like there's a series of four or five movies. 478 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 2: I think that you could argue, I think the combination 479 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 2: of Will Ferrell Vince Vaughan is tough to beat. Wedding 480 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 2: Crashers also really really funny and well done. But I 481 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: think you have to consider what again, best doesn't mean. 482 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: Citizen Kane is a phenomenal movie. We talked about yesterday. 483 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: Schindler's List is a phenomenal movie. 484 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: It's hard to sit down and just be like, hey, 485 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: let's have some popcorn and watch Schindler's List. 486 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: Well this is this is like how I feel about 487 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: The Pianist p I A. N I S T. To 488 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: be clear, the Pianist is a or the past. Maybe 489 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: some people say it that way. Is I think a 490 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: perfect movie, meaning it is incredibly well done and every 491 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 1: aspect of it, from the acting, to the writing, to 492 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: the to this sounds, you know, to the soundtrack to 493 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: the I think it's a perfect movie, but it's intense. 494 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: It's World War two, it's you know, it's a Jewish 495 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: guy who's trying to flee the you know the at 496 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: one point it's his neighbors and the Nazis. The Pianist 497 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: is an incredible movie, but I can't say it's my 498 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: favorite movie because if the Dark Knight trilogy or The 499 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings movies are on, I'm watching those 500 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: instead of The Pianist. I'm just I'm not gonna lie 501 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: and be that guy, which brings me to I think 502 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: they're private producer, Greg, what was your pick? You didn't 503 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: give us, You didn't give us your We're trying to 504 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: help you, by the way, for the holiday weekend, everybody, 505 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen any of these, we're giving you 506 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: great recommendations for I would argue The Lives of other 507 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: is a pretty perfect movie, although it is German language 508 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: and that is twenty first century, but again, it's not 509 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: a You still haven't even watched that, have you? You 510 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: and Laura haven't watched the Lives of Others? And you 511 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: have it. Okay, maybe that one because's foreign language. I 512 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: can see Laura being like Clay, don't don't you know, 513 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: don't torture us. You guys haven't watched Hacksaw Ridge, which 514 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: is insane, because that was I gave you that assignment 515 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: a long time ago, that movie to be fair. 516 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 2: To be fair to me, I barely see anything. I 517 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 2: watch stuff with my kids, which is why I've been 518 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: watching Harry Potter. 519 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: I've watched hundreds of hours of college football, hundreds of 520 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, and I watch a lot of sports. 521 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: Let me give you an underrated movie that I think 522 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: seems even more contemporary than it was when it came out. 523 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: Minority Report. Ah suck No. I'm telling you go back 524 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: and watch it now. In an age of AI, it 525 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: seems eerily prescient in terms of its foreshadowing of where 526 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: we are. Producer Greg is going to weigh in. He 527 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: was a he wanted to get on this. Producer Greg, 528 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: best movie of a twenty first century? If you were 529 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: making this New York Times list, what's number one Dark Knight? 530 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm with uh, I'm with your Dark Knight? Got you? 531 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: I thought I thought we had double dark Knight. That's 532 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: a Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is the best 533 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: bad guy performance that uh, that I think you can 534 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: It's that it's the No Country for old men with 535 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: what's his name? Uh, you know Lavier Bardem, Javier Bardem 536 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: and Hans Gruber in die Hard, which was the first 537 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: time that guy was ever in a movie, which is 538 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: still amazing. Just watching The Dark Knight knowing that Heath 539 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: Ledger was going to in some way kill himself. Like 540 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: I watch it now and you're right, the performance is incredible, 541 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: But when I watch it, in the back of my mind, 542 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, in order to become this good, he had 543 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: to go to such a dark place that it felt 544 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: to me like a lot of people who are actors 545 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: and actresses, it's not act that talented, you know what 546 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Like there are lots of people who are whatever. 547 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: Heath Ledger, that was actually an artistic performance as the Joker, 548 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: but I think it led him into a world where 549 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: his brain like almost broke. 550 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 4: You know. 551 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: He went into the darkness, went into the darkness too much. 552 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: That has happened with with people that get too into 553 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: a role. A lot of people very high in because 554 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: I saw a lot of comments about this because I 555 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: was on I was on with Will Caine and Carol 556 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: Markowitz on Will's show on Fox Play, and that's where 557 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: this got some attention. A lot of people have as 558 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: their top movies. I would say the ones that I 559 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: saw the most. For all of you, all of you 560 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: out there, I'd say the one that I saw the most. 561 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: As a number one choice was either There Will Be 562 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: Blood or No Country for Old Men for best movie 563 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: the twenty first century. I view those as both excellent movies, 564 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: but it also goes in that category. There Will Be 565 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: Blood for me is like watching a masterclass of like Obviously, 566 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: Daniel da Lewis is phenomenal and the performances are. But 567 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: do I care about anybody in this story? Really No? 568 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: Do I like anybody? Really No? And then I think 569 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: that unfortunately, No Country for Old Men again very well made, 570 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it's not a good movie. I'm 571 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: just saying, you know, if it's on, am I going 572 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: to watch it? 573 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 6: Oh? 574 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: It's so bleak and kind of nihilistic for me, So 575 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: I can't get too excited about either one of those. 576 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: As a top ten of the twenty first century, they're 577 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: both excellent movies, to be clear, but they're not movies. 578 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: I've only watched each of those maybe twice, which for 579 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: me is not very many. 580 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: I also, to me, when it's a book being made 581 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: into a movie, I think the excellence of the movie 582 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: in many ways reflects the book. And Cormack McCarthy is 583 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: probably the greatest author now I'm really gonna get people 584 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 2: fired up. Probably the greatest author of the last thirty years. 585 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 2: And I know he died a couple of years ago, 586 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 2: but if you look at his production in terms of 587 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 2: his talent, and you go all the way back. He 588 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 2: moved eventually his fiction to basically the border with Texas 589 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 2: and Mexico, but he started off as a Tennessee based writer, 590 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 2: and I think he's probably the most talented writer in 591 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 2: America in the last thirty years. And so No Country 592 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: for Old Men is a novel by him, and I 593 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 2: think it just reflects the world that he created on 594 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: the screen and is actually an illustration of his excellence 595 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 2: as a writer more than it is as a film. 596 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: Does that make sense? 597 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: Like if you said, hey, the Great Gatsby, which it isn't, 598 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: and it's been made multiple times, most recently with Leonardo DiCaprio. 599 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: If you said The Great Gatsby is the best movie 600 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 2: that's ever been made, I would be like, well, it's 601 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 2: a phenomenal novel, and so to me, I strip out 602 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 2: anything that isn't an original movie as a great movie. 603 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: Does that make sense to pass a reflection of the 604 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: of the book? More than one talkback here before we 605 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: get into more talkbacks and calls to close us out, 606 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: AA podcast listeners Zeb from Texas, Play. 607 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 4: It, Play and book.

Minus Tireth is the capital city of 612 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 4: Gondor after Ausciliath was destroyed by the Orcs and the 613 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 4: Battle of Saaron. Trust your man. 614 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: I just this is the nerdiest thing that has ever 615 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: been said on the show, which is I just love 616 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: I love it.

That is that 622 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: is our that is our Texas audience rolling around in 623 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: a pickup ready for any hovelinas they have to take out. 624 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: But you get Lord of the Rings wrong, and they're 625 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: dropping knowledge on you. The correction yesterday that I read 626 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 1: is the nerdiest thing that's ever been said on the show. 627 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: That talkback, in Buck's analysis of it, is the second 628 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: nerdiest thing that's ever been said on the show.
