18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: how do you not know yet? Uh? For those who

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: don't know, you know those big giant pumpkins with the

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: spots on it. Oh, hell. Yeah. Uh, well, let's let's

21
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: get right into the year two thousand sixteen. Obviously, this

22
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: year kind of split in two. Uh as I think

23
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, Uh, they did not see

24
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: that election coming. So there was the previous part prior

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: to the two thousand sixteen election. There was January two November,

26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: there's January November. You're saying, so November is where the

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: year was split. Yesh. Yeah. There's a feeling that there's

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: like sort of a anger and smug superiority felt by

29
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: both sides leading in at the election, and then the election,

30
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: and the sudden cultural realization that, uh, hey, nobody knows

31
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: anything in the media. We live in two separate realities

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: or yeah, many many separate realities. We've been ignoring the

33
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: ship out of a whole bunch of them. Uh, there's

34
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: the realization that Donald Trump is going to be our

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: president for the next four years. All the racism that

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: have been boiling up that we've been seeing and police

37
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: shooting videos, and that people of color had been telling, uh,

38
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: those of us who are not people of color about

39
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: for years. Uh that you know, we believed, but we didn't.

40
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: It hadn't really come to our doorstep to the to

41
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: the point that yeah, and then and then November rolled around,

42
00:02:54,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: and suddenly it was extremely real to them, and it

43
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: was the only reality that mattered for a lot of

44
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: liberal white people who have spent their time refreshing the

45
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: New York Times palometer or whatever the funk they called that,

46
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: it was like they woke up in a new world.

47
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: The morning after the election. Yeah, I hate to say,

48
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: we told you so. I know, people of color and

49
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Trump supporters were like, yo, welcome, welcome, motherfucker, come on down.

50
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean I think too. Also with Obama in office,

51
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: it really a lot of people just kept their ship

52
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: inside their racism. So we'll get to the movie Get

53
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Out in two thousand and seventeen. But you know that

54
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: that line, I would have voted Obama third term if

55
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: I could have that. That is I think a lot

56
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: of white people who were just patting themselves on the back,

57
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: just being like, we did it, we did it, We're good.

58
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Now everything's like the media we consume. Yeah, but let's

59
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: let's get into what just the general guest stalt the

60
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: generals like guyst of the time with the movies of

61
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: the year two thousand sixteen. Uh, it was, So I'm

62
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: just gonna read them off in the order that Google

63
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: gives them to me. La La Land number one for me,

64
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: they think I am a a douche bag. That's that's

65
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: what Google told you. Yeah, Google is like, hey, straighten

66
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: out your Fedora La La Land is your top movie

67
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: of the year two thousand and sixteen. You didn't you

68
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: take piano lessons right after that movie? Yeah, because I like,

69
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's something about when when Ryan Gosling

70
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: invented jazz in that movie? Really uh yeah, I wonder

71
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: how many people legit, not that they thought invented jazz,

72
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: but we're like, man, the music in there was really cool.

73
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I think I'm gonna listen to that. I'll

74
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: be interested to see what this movie's legacy is like

75
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: twenty years down the line, because it's there was such

76
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: a backlash. I think deserved deserved backlash a little bit.

77
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: It that like some people are just way too into it,

78
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: and then people were like, yo, this movie, like this

79
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: main character, there's just a lot of ship that's whack

80
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: about this movie. I think it also encapsulates how a

81
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: lot of like white people were like taking in reality

82
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: right of all the movies you could have got behind.

83
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: You're like, la la la, what about sucking moonlight? Right? Yeah?

84
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, no no no. Some Moonlight is like

85
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: happy Dance Dance, Happy Dance Dance. Yeah. I don't want

86
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: to hear about what it's like to be all come

87
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: on to say that white people were living in La

88
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: la land before the two thousand and sixteen election might

89
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: be two on the nose, but I'm gonna go ahead

90
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: and say it. Doctor Strange is my second movie. I

91
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: never even saw that ship. I saw part of it

92
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: on the plane just to see what's her face? Be

93
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: an Asian person? Uh, Tilda Swinton was like the ancient

94
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: one or something incient One. They were like, nah, the

95
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: the ancient one, who is a martial arts expert should

96
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: not be a person of Asian descent. That should be

97
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: should be Swinton, who, honestly, I think she's from her

98
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: own planet, her own type of human. Yeah. She got

99
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: a DNA test and it was like, you are the

100
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: ancient one, Tilda Swinton. Zootopia is my top five from Google.

00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: They're just like, can you do the same naming? Yeah, yeah,

102
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,040

Speaker 1: third is Utopia, and I get Manchester by the Sea

108
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: because I'm a sad boy. It's I didn't get Doctor

109
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Strange so much later arrived. I didn't either on this time, like,

110
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how these localized results were right, but

111
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: I got a rival. On the top five. I get

112
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: Deadpool is up there? Uh Captain America Civil War? Which

113
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: makes sense? What was hell or high Water? Is that

114
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: anywhere for you? That was the bank heist one? Yeah,

115
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: I watched it. I like that. I didn't like. I didn't. Uh.

116
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that I even sat down put

117
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: the DVD in means that I was invested in seeing

118
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: it like anything. Because most of the time I don't

119
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: go to the movies a lot. I'll I just watched screeners,

120
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: so that's when it gets very selective. But I did

121
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: watch that because my mom was like, I like it. Yeah,

122
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well, all y'all y'all take that to

123
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: the bank. Mohanna is way up there for me. Uh

124
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: not where it's not. It's not Zuotopia level, but it's uh,

125
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, to find the zeitgeist apparently that year. Remember

126
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: when we started the show and I was like, man,

127
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: Mohanna is a big deal for these kids. Yeah, where'd

128
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: that go? I think it's still there. I just think

129
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: it's been you know, Frozen is its. I was claiming

130
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Mohanna was the new Frozen because like all kids under

131
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: the age of ten knew all the words to Mohana.

132
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: But uh, turns out Frozen is the new Frozen because

133
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: I can't even say I know that Frozen is let

134
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: it go. I can't off instinctively say what's the mahana?

135
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah you need a song? Yeah? Um what for you?

136
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Of these movies? Did you actually like person? Because I

137
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: know we're saying that's number one for me for people

138
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: who are confused. That's what Google is serving us as

139
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: a result, not our rankings. I mean Moonlight I think

140
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: is actually I'm gonna go La La Land. Moonlight was incredible.

141
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's just like a towering piece of art. Yeah.

142
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: I would probably go with Finding Dory finding just good

143
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: finding Dory, and I mean it speaks to the collective

144
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: amnesia of our culture. Thank you, That's exactly that. And

145
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: then and then in second Suicide Squad, right, yo, Suicide

146
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: Squad came out this year. Also Batman Verse Superman. What

147
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: were they thinking? What what a run Man from from

148
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: the d C universe? Yeah? What did The Accountant? What's

149
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: that's Ben Affleck. That's Ben Affleck. That movie completely disappeared.

150
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: So some movies that completely disappeared from the national consciousness.

151
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Sully didn't completely disappear, because that story is

152
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: still a big deal. But like I feel like that

153
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: nobody's quoting that, nobody's quoting Sully. Nobody's saying I'm the

154
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: Sully now. Uh, I mean they should be. Yeah, but

155
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I would say the The Accountant is one

156
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: of those movies that just completely disappeared. The BFG, the

157
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: Big fucking Giant. Uh, Jason Bourne, I forgot there was

158
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: a new born movie, Star Trek Beyond Out. Yeah, there

159
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: was a Star Trek movie and it was a flop.

160
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: I remember people were like, like a Chris Pine Star

161
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: Trek movie, not that one. Yeah, there was a Crisp

162
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Pine Star Trek movie that I think it was the third. Uh.

163
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: Warcraft is one of those movies I think we've talked

164
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: out before. Was a big hit overseas, this big deal overseas,

165
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: and nobody watched it here I went at the time.

166
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: I was just starting to work at Conde Nast and

167
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: we did a like a like a junket for Warcraft,

168
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: And there were some interactions between the cast members that

169
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: were so there was something going on between those cast members.

170
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: They didn't like each other, they didn't like each other

171
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: or there were a lot of her It was weird,

172
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: like it wasn't like anything else where people were just

173
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: talking about their film. There was a lot of passive

174
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: aggressive energy being okay, and then people like can you

175
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: got this stuff out? Only to be only to be

176
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: revived on a podcast years later. Uh. There was a

177
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: new Born movie that I think has completely disappeared from

178
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: people's memory. Uh, sing completely. I remember the posters. Yeah,

179
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: that's that's a big one with kids. What singh Street?

180
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: Sing Street is from the dude who made once I

181
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: think okay or maybe did you watch Sausage Party? No?

182
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: I did good. No. I like the idea that what

183
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: wasn't there like something where you people only had access

184
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: to the reality that their food was alive when they

185
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: were high or something like that. Could I honestly, the

186
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: second I realized like it was just like a weird

187
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: adult thing with like lame Dick jokes, I was like,

188
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna mosey on out. Um. So, I

189
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: don't know, those are the movies of the year. Nothing

190
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: really jumps out to me other than Moonlight, Like nothing

191
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: is like a lasting thing that people are gonna be

192
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: talking about decades from now. Maybe Finding Dory Finding Door

193
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: is a great sequel. I loved this out that I

194
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: liked that before I even had kids, and then I

195
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: just watched it with my son recently, and it was

196
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: a blast. Uh in terms of like kind of what

197
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,239
Speaker 1: people were searching, what was trending that year? Uh, Pokemon

198
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: go number one, man two above Donald Trump in your face.

199
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: I remember when like there were videos of people like

200
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: running through Central Park on just the strength of rumors

201
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: certain creatures being there. I'm like, Yo, what the funk

202
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: are y'all doing? And then I remember being at Comic

203
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Con that year, nobody was like the fucking bank. Cellular

204
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: bandwidth was diminished from all these people just pokemon it up. Yeah.

205
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: I I took exactly one walk through a city with

206
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: somebody who was like doing the Pokemon thing. I was like,

207
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't be friends with people. Well, I

208
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: think it's one of those things like we I think,

209
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say I can speak for

210
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: you that we both don't really funk with Pokemon in that,

211
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: like we don't know anything about it aside from maybe

212
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: a couple of characters. And then they like that I

213
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: didn't play the game Boy game, and I feel like

214
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: for those people who really who who funk with the universe?

215
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: It was fine, but also like trying to get me outside? No,

216
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: how about that? How about that? Uh? There were um

217
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: so then there was the election. Uh that I'm just

218
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: I I like looking back at the time magazine like

219
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: where they were at with this. At the end of

220
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: it was the quote October surprises that ultimately came to

221
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: dominate the story of the election. Trump's came in the

222
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: form of a leaked access Hollywood tape, and Hillary Clinton's

223
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: came when FBI Director James Comey went to Congress updating

224
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: the status of the investigation. And it never quite disappeared.

225
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: Uh so I'm interesting. Yeah, that's one way. I think

226
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: that's like the literally like the November ninth, take what happened,

227
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: and they're like, wait, what else there? What were the

228
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: other dimension what were the other forces at work? Because

229
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: we're still looking at this election through like the lens

230
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: of every other sort of traditional election for lack of

231
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: a better term. Yeah, both story lines exemplify the dark

232
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: clouds that hovered over each candidate throughout the race. So

233
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: they were still covering Hillary Clinton's emails like it was

234
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: an equivalent scandal to anything that's gone on with tront

235
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: To Maggie Haberman. Now Americans are buckling up for the

236
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: political roller coaster ride that's likely to last for the

237
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: next four years. Hey said, what way to mitigate? I know,

238
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: and just like a roller coaster ride, what a blast?

239
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: What a blast? And I think the person in front

240
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: of me vomited. And we're doing a revolution right now.

241
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: It's getting in my face. Yeah, people's earrings are falling off.

242
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Somebody lost their lucky hat and then they went to

243
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: retrieve their lucky hat underneath the roller coaster and got beheaded.

244
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: That's actually something I do remember some guy going underneath

245
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: and getting I think that's the only roller coaster metaphor

246
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: that we could use for that year. That would Yeah,

247
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: I think that was I think that was like the nineties.

248
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: I think that was when we were kids. Was that

249
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: like going to those urban legends? No, but it's not

250
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: in Yeah, I've forget what the park was, but it

251
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: definitely happened. I remember it's probably like over here at

252
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: six Flags Magic Mountain when Goliath came out, like I

253
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: think a dude had a heart attack from the first drop. Yeah,

254
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: so that's kind of fitting one of those roller coaster rides.

255
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: One guy at a heart attack, the other guy got

256
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: beheaded trying to retrieve his lucky hat. Uh, and my

257
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: mom lust her earring Welcome to Flags Tragic Mountain. Uh.

258
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: They do mention the Russia hacking. Uh. That's their number

259
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: two story of the year, the hacking of the Democratic

260
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: National Committee. But they say, but it increasingly became clear

261
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: that the larger story was that the hack revealed America's

262
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: vulnerability is to countries like Russia. So it was just

263
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: their bigger story is that this can happen at all.

264
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: But I mean it was a opposition military targeting some

265
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: old guys Gmail. It's not like, yeah, of course they

266
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: can do that. That's not the larger story. The larger

267
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: story is that we've lowered the discourse to the point

268
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: that like candidates can just accept the aid of a

269
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: foreign hostile power, and like people are just like but

270
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: it's just like everybody's doing everything in their power to

271
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: not look at that because they got to both sides

272
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: the ship. Or it's just like the surprise that like,

273
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, not that the media would be that this honest,

274
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: but be like, whoa the thing that we do happen

275
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: to us? Right, yeah, yeah, wow, yeah, that's been happening.

276
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: That's right. We like to do this ship all the time.

277
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: We didn't think anyone would have the call to do

278
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: it right back. I mean like looking at let's say,

279
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: because it's gonna happen Russia hacks whoever the Democratic candidates

280
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: email is or there uh you know, somebody on their

281
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: staff's email and leaks the documents, Like the media is

282
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: still going to print that ship, right like whatever the

283
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: leaks are, Yeah, they're still gonna do what they did

284
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: with Hillary's emails, where they were like John Podesta said

285
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: this and like yeah, I'm sure I'm sure they're going

286
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: to do that. Um so, I mean, nothing's changed like that.

287
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: That's the only thing they could change is if the

288
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 1: media was like and we agree to never like print

289
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: hacked material. We agree to leave an impression based ad

290
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: revenue model if that dictates how we present stories. But yeah,

291
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: the thing of this right up suggests that we are

292
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: a national front. Who was behind the net Russian national front?

293
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: Like ite'ts written from like a Cold War ethos, Like

294
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: this is the new space race. It's all about hacking.

295
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: We gotta catch up with our hacking. Uh, we're gonna

296
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be back with a little

297
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: more and then get into which was a fucking quarker

298
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: of a year. M And we're back and all right.

299
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen also like no slouch in terms of just

300
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: huge horrifying events U breggsit happened. There was a bunch

301
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: of terror attacks around the world. Um, there was the

302
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: Istanbul airport, the guy who drove a truck through a

303
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: crowd celebrating bestial Day and niece. Uh, twelve people died

304
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: when a hijacked truck slammed into a popular Christmas market

305
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: in Berlin. Uh. And then there was the Pulse nightclub shooting,

306
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: which was amid Pride celebrations. Uh, it was the worst

307
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: mass shooting in modern US history un next year until

308
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: the next year exactly. But yeah, that and then everybody

309
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: died and then yeah, Prince David Bowie, Alan Rickman and

310
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: Gene Wilder, Muhammad Ali, I mean, fuck, please put some

311
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: respect on Justice Antonin Scalia's name too. And so this

312
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: was right when Mitch McConnell started with his bullshit. Um yeah,

313
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: but the Conservatives lost theirs too, Scalia and Nancy Reagan.

314
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: Scalia was what was he like some hunting lodge like

315
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: out in the probably being like had a prostitute on

316
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: top of him. Who knows we're under him when he died. Uh,

317
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: that's but that's just me speculating allegedly allegedly almost definitely, Yeah,

318
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, that really that his death really kind

319
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: of triggers this really dark shift. That's like, I mean,

320
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: McConnell was fucking around since time immemorial, but like to

321
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: completely be like I'm not going to confirm a Supreme

322
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: Court justice. It's like, oh, so the rules no longer applied,

323
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Like it's not this is the beginning of the publicans

324
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: just not even paying any attention to any norms. Yeah,

325
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: this is the beginning of the what're gonna do about it? Yeah?

326
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: Because yeah, what what what are you going to do?

327
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about the quote before that like

328
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: people political insights are people who are experts on politics

329
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: and Washington talk about the fact that it's rules and

330
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: laws and norms, and so if you just decide, fuck

331
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: the norms, fuck all the things that we agreed we do, Uh,

332
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: fuck you sue me. In other words, you're gonna be

333
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: you can be able to get away with some ship. Yeah.

334
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: And I think at the end of it, we were saying, like,

335
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: I guess we need to actually start like articulating these

336
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: common sense things into straight up laws. And because there's

337
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: just too much latitude for people to you know, funk around,

338
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: the opioid crisis started really spiraling out of control, kind

339
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: of went viral with a bunch of pictures of people

340
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: odeing in public, and yeah, it was it was fucked up.

341
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: There's the police officer ambushes in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

342
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: But also, you know, police officers shooting people of color

343
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: continued unabated, uh, And there was the sexual assault sentencing outrage,

344
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: which kind of foreshadowed what was to come in with

345
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: then too movement, because this was the year that Brock Turner,

346
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: a good young man with a bright future, was sentenced

347
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: to just six months in jail when he was caught

348
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: based salting an unconscious person behind a dumpster. Um. So, hey, man,

349
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: look this is again we got all kinds, We got

350
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: many different justice systems to different legal systems for different

351
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: people of different classes. Yeah, and it's just you know,

352
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: the it was totally depend it on his race, the

353
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: race of the judge, and uh bullshit. All right, let's

354
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: get into let's go right into the stories because it's

355
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: there's kind of a through line from and then we

356
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: can talk about movies. But uh so, obviously Trump was

357
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: sworn in immediately started talking shipped to North Korea. This

358
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: was before he decided to make nice, when it was

359
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: just tightening of the screw slowly, one tweeter at a time.

360
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: I was horrified. Yeah, everybody thought we were gonna fucking die.

361
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: Like it was the most worried people had been about

362
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon killing a whole city full of Americans since

363
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: uh since the Cold War. There all maps of like

364
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: where their nukes could hit the US technically. Yeah, a

365
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: lot of Los Angeles on there, Yeah, I do, people

366
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: like well, his dad really liked Hollywood, right, But that's

367
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: why he would have made it. Um yeah, Docca because

368
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: Trump and Sessions began openly talking immediately about their white

369
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: supremacist agenda. Hurricane Maria. This was also a year of

370
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: just massive, horrifying hurricanes, Hurricane Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico,

371
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, it really brought out the man like watching

372
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: them the president, his response to that show, like God

373
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: damn it. I mean, yeah, I think we're the whole time,

374
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: It's like, God, what the fund is this? Ye're gonna

375
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: look like And every every month that got like weirder

376
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: and weirder. And then the Maria ship with him just

377
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: completely trying to like shame that people of Puerto Rico

378
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: acting like they're not Americans was so like on, like

379
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: the racism was so transparent on its face that he

380
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: was who he thought he was. I mean there was

381
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we we thought who he said he was.

382
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: Hurricane Harvey happened just parked over Houston and uh, you know,

383
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: for like a week and just fucking flooded the ship

384
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: out of that city. But let's talk about this one

385
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: week long stretch that I didn't realize all these things

386
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: happened in like five days. The Las Vegas shooting happened

387
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: on the night of October first, two thousand seventeen, a

388
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: shoot her open fire on a crowd of concert goers.

389
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: One thing that I hadn't there, that my memory hadn't

390
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: quite gotten about that is I mean, so this was

391
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: sort of the nightmare scenario for anyone who worries about

392
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: guns and just how readily accessible they are and how

393
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: easy it is for somebody to build up an arsenal.

394
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: Is that you know, the person was shooting from a

395
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: great distance, so it's very difficult to locate. He was

396
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: shooting with automatic weapons into a crowd. So I mean,

397
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: just the worst case scenario in every respect. But I

398
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: hadn't I thought that they like kind of immediately figured

399
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: out where he was and like came for him. But

400
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: they found him dead in his room an hour after

401
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: the shooting, Like they hadn't gotten to him while he

402
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: was tolive. Like I knew that I thought he had

403
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: shot himself as they were storming his room, but it

404
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: was an hour. Yeah, it was an hour later. Like

405
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: so that's that's how like powerful these weapons are. That

406
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: like he was just often the distance somewhere and nobody

407
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: could like figure out where he was coming from for

408
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: an hour. Uh, And yeah, I remember the conspiracy theories

409
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: were right, Yeah, because I mean it's also the perfect

410
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: storm and that he we still don't have a motive,

411
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: like we do we know that he was wanting to

412
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: do this, just he had researched different locations where there

413
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: was going to be a crowd. He had even rented

414
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: hotel rooms like above Lallapaluza above another concert in in

415
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: Chicago and then also and I had rented and stayed

416
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: in a hotel room in Vegas for a period but

417
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: didn't carry out the attack and then just actually did.

418
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: But he he had been googling terms from mid September

419
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: such as SWAT weapons ballistics chart three O eight, swat

420
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and do police use explosives? So like he

421
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: it was super premeditated. Who the funk knows, like what

422
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: infected this guy's soul and made him just decide to

423
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: do this, But that makes it a perfect storm for

424
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists. I mean the false flagship that came out

425
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: like immediately was like just really awful, and especially considering

426
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: like the amount of like almost people were killed, hundreds

427
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: were injured. So on the second of October, and obviously

428
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: this is an equivalent, but it's just uh kind of

429
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: a bombshell. Tom Petty died of a drug overdose. Uh.

430
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: Tom Petty was like in his sixties. Uh. And again,

431
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: like he somebody said that they like he was always

432
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: a like basically a sober musician throughout like his heyday,

433
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: Like he didn't like get he didn't use drugs, he

434
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: didn't drink that much. And then like once he hit forty,

435
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: he was like, I'll give this a try, and like

436
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: that's when it started, like really strange sort of progression.

437
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: But this was just, you know, he died of a

438
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: fentanyl overdose, which is what we found out Prince died

439
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: of in Uh. So you know it was that. And

440
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: apparently like almost a third of the overdose deaths from

441
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: opioids in America were caused by fentanyl. Yeah. And then

442
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: ten five, the New York Times publishes the first story

443
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: detailing decades of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

444
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: So that's a I know, so this was and then

445
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: we started Zeitgeist. The next week, October nine, the Second

446
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: Rate podcast, Gail z Guess begins, I mean and then answered,

447
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: I saw this neooze breaking, and I shot a blunt

448
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: signal into the sky at the moon. Miles saw it

449
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: came away from Canada. Yeah, I have to go. My

450
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: planet needs me. Uh. And then ten ten the New

451
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: Yorker Story breaks, running Pharaoh's story. Uh. And then ten fifteen,

452
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: Melissa Milano writes, if you've been sexually harassed or assaulted,

453
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: rape me too, as a reply to this tweet and

454
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: kind of mainstreamed a thing that had been started many

455
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: years ago. But there there were like a lot of

456
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: people I had missed who had been assaulted by Weinstein,

457
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: like Lena Hetty from from Thrones, Lauren Holly from Dumb

458
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: and Dumber, like all these people who he just like

459
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: cut the swath of fucking horror through, like all these

460
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: I remember the repeated Inongo right up because she had

461
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: talked about how he was drinking like diet coke and vodka. Yeah,

462
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, what if bombo Yeah? Uh, but yeah,

463
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: he just terrifying ship. And I think that look at

464
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: him now, because all this subtrofusion, fake sympathy props he's using. Look,

465
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm in a hospital. Help me. What would a guy?

466
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: Would an old guy who had to go to the

467
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: hospital be a just a predator? Yeah, I mean this

468
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: is clearly like he got a some pr advice, because

469
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: just a couple of months ago, I remember seeing pictures

470
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: of them walking into the courtroom and just looking like

471
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: I think he was like laughing. Just put him under

472
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: the jill, seriously, all right, we're gonna take a quick

473
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: break and we'll be back with more news and the

474
00:29:51,480 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: movies of the year. And we're back, And so Matt

475
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: Lauer broke December one. I thought Matt Lauer was like

476
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: a year later. I didn't realize it was like just

477
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: a month later. I think maybe it felt because we

478
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: had moved offices from October. Then by December we were

479
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: in the new spot when it was just so much

480
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: news in that period, I mean it was, well, that's

481
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: what we had, like when the Manghazi segment was non stop. Yeah,

482
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: that really did feel like it. Yeah, I guess because

483
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: the news was so fucking dense. It felt like a

484
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: year's worth of news had happened in one month. Which

485
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's what when people talk about how they

486
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: like remember things, remember traumatic things happening in slow motion,

487
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: it's not that the at the time you were experiencing

488
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: them in slow motion. It's that your memory starts like

489
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: recording more and so it's like you have more things too,

490
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: and like your memories like in four case, yeah you

491
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: went from and it's almost like it's, you know, way

492
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: to record something in slow motion. You start moving the

493
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: film through the projector faster. Uh so, oh, little cinematography,

494
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: little cinematography. But I think, I mean one of the

495
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: major stories that we can't overlook from that the year

496
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: seventeen that we're still feeling the effects of here in

497
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: the studio is the fidget spinner. Uh it was big.

498
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean honestly it was. It was cracking before you know,

499
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: around twenty sixteen too. But I love the fidget spinner.

500
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: I have the Google I have a chart in the

501
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: dock of the Google search popularity of fidget spinners in

502
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 1: early seventeen, And it was like in May it just

503
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: shot up and was like sky through the month of

504
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: May June, and then by July it was like backed

505
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: down to just not being really anything. It was, Man,

506
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: I I still stand the fidget spinner. I mean our

507
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: first merch of this show was a fidget spinner. Yeah yeah,

508
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: it was coming around the house right in front of you.

Speaker 1: There's some of my son's favorite toys. I do have

Speaker 1: people were like it helps with a d h D.

515
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: I think it was just our nation needed some soothing distraction,

516
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: like something soothing to look at. Yeah, like okay, every

517
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: can I just spin? How about a nice little spinny? Yeah,

518
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: like something that was easy. There wasn't resistance. It was

519
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: just like if you have if you have like busy

520
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: hands though too, like it's perfect. Like because for me,

521
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: like in high school or college, I'm always doing ship

522
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: with my pen. So having like a fidget spinner that's

523
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: sound of the spinner, sound of the spinner, yeah, helped helped. No,

524
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have any I wish I had

525
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: trick skills like transferring from finger to finger. I wish

527
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,320

00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: for me the skills to be a competitive spin boy.

529
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: Um solar eclipse that was another big story that yeah

530
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: kind of man, we really got the shitty version of

531
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: that eclipse though down here, like obviously because we weren't

532
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: in the direct path of the eclipse, we got like

533
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: the you know, the target version when people up in Oregon,

534
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: we're getting like the full blown like the ship that

535
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: made the ancient people be like and then the demon game.

536
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: Can I be straight with you though? Yeah? Go ahead?

537
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: Can yeah? Go ahead? Are you sure because this is

538
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: a safe space. Yeah. I never saw a single image

539
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: of the solar eclipse that impressed me at all. Holy shit,

540
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: yeah you wait, so you just go yeah, that's how

541
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: I felt, man like, wait, based on what the what

542
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: the actual image was or the idea of are so

543
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: the celestial bodies? Have you ever tried to take a

544
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: picture of a cool looking moon, like, yeah, the moon

545
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: is in the sky and it looks cool, as I

546
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: did once And I remember my dad, who was a photographers, like,

547
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna look it's an optical illusion, Pasually when

548
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: it looks big. I remember, like I think back in twelve.

549
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's then, because I felt like

550
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Facebook was like, yo, the moon's so big right now,

551
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: and everyone was fresh like putting up whack as regular

552
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: sized moon photos, Like what the fun because right like

553
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: the moon is always the same size and the sky

554
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: as just like what it's near that makes it look bigger. Waits,

555
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: but you you would say that you could stand. You

556
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: saw the footage of people like in the people that

557
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: were like in the optimal path, and we don't think

558
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: that that even you know, but this sequence to like

559
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: be out during the day, it suddenly go to like

560
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: just nearly nighttime level darkness. I guess the coolest shit

561
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: I saw were the people who were just filming around

562
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: them and it was like it went a dusk, but

563
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: it was still I don't know, it was fine. It

564
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: was fine. I'm just saying suppressive more than anything, a

565
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: lesson that you can't grab anything that's in the sky,

566
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: like it's not Grandma Ball. So you just weren't people's

567
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: eclipse flex posts and I was like, oh man, this

568
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be an event. We're going to see all

569
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: these cool different like well that one photo that was

570
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: like taken by like proper scientific, like real good imagery

571
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: of it. That ship looked like the Ring, right, Yeah,

572
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: and that's one for me. It wasn't that. I wasn't impressed.

573
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't mess with demonic stuff. I'm Japanese.

574
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: I know the power of the Ring or dingu and

575
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna check me with that one.

576
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: The best the best picture of that is still Trump

577
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: looking directly into it, straight into the fucking Rauh. We

578
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: were on a balcony asking other people with like proper

579
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: eclipse I wear because we were trying to be like

580
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: what if we just like kind of peak real quick

581
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: and they're like, please don't do that. Here look through

582
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: here and are we work that? Remember that that version

583
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: was definitely not impressive. That that version of when we

584
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: were l a Verton know, the l A version of

585
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: the eclipse that suck. This is this is dumb as fuck.

586
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: It was dope to like it was a cool experience

587
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: to have like just everybody coming out of there like

588
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: offices at the same time. Like that reminded me of

589
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: like my grandma used to tell me about like the

590
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: day uh Pearl Harbor was bombed the like people would.

591
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: People were all like just walking out of their house

592
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: and walking out of buildings just to like see other people.

593
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: Basically we're seeing this, right, Yeah, that was the closest

594
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: we got. Uh but I did see a lot of

595
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: people trying to like do the selfie in front of

596
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: the thing just wasn't working. Yeah, um if it burnt

597
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: out people's camera, like you also can't aim your ship

598
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: at the Also, I guess I should say that there's

599
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: just a steady drumbeat of the top trending news stories

600
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: in all these years. Is that whatever the latest iPhone

601
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: is so go year, what was like the iPhone eight

602
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: or something. I just don't put it here because that's

603
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: just some ship that we care about at the time.

604
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: But it's not it doesn't have any bearing on it's

605
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: just they slowly get better, slowly, but surely they do.

606
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I'm trying to think of anything else

607
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: that was interesting. And that iPhone eight, you know, I

608
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: remember one of my co workers got it and they

609
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: were really proud of themselves today. And then ye uh

610
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: so seventeen good Year from movies. I think both of

611
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: these actually pretty decent years from get out came out

612
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: in we suddenly realized the underrated dude from Key and

613
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: Peel was actually like one of our great directors. Uh

614
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: Dunkirk came out, Christopher Nolan back on top Wonder Woman, Ladybird.

615
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: This is the order it gave me, although it changes

616
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: from Google to Google apparently. Uh. Logan Thor ragnar Rock

617
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: Star Wars, the last Jedi man that has been WHOA

618
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: just very iconic for some people. And Laura shout out

619
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: to Laura during in that one when she like nine

620
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: elevens that ship straight up into the fleet. I was

621
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: like that boy, that was a scene. I always thought like,

622
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 1: what would happen if you pulled that ship? And then yeah,

623
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: Logan was I was surprised by Logan. I wasn't really

624
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: going to watch it and I saw it. That little

625
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: girl in that movie is fucking an amazing actor. Yeah,

626
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: has she been anything since? She's about to be like

627
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: in some really some new show. She was so yeah,

628
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: and I think her like I saw her her audition

629
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: the tape. The tape of her audition is really really impressive.

630
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: She like had that feral energy girl vibe from from

631
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 1: that Bary episode. Oh yeah, unstoppable. Oh she's in her

632
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: dark material. His dark material got it thora. Ragnarok came

633
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: out very good. Uh, the Shape of Water, I feel

634
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: like the Shape of Water. I don't know, what do

635
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 1: you think? You think that movie is iconic, You think

636
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: it stands the test of time? That was best picture

637
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: that you're betture? I I think get Out. I think

638
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: get Out as for sure, if we were giving the

639
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: Oscar out today, it would have to be get Out,

640
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: it would be get At. Yeah, because I mean, like

641
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: the Shape of Water, nobody even saw that. But again,

642
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: look you see it again. Maybe it was like, look,

643
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: Moo gave Moonlight the Best Picture last year. I think

644
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: that's what it'll shock the world if we started saying

645
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: that black filmmakers are going to have a run of

646
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: winning Best Pictures. But yeah, I don't like we're supposed

647
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: to win that year, because I remember Shape of Water

648
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: was like last second they were like, oh yeah, people

649
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: thought get Out. How to chance it was nominated? It

650
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: did win for Best Screenplay, right, Yeah, I think so,

651
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: But I think with I don't know, I was a

652
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: little bit surprised that it and I don't I'm I'm

653
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: really trying to put myself back in that time when like,

654
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: what the fucking deal was? Aside from like, yo, that

655
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: dude's dick opens up from a flap and curls out

656
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: like a little arm. The sex Fish. Yeah, that was

657
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: really the only thing I really I'm still holding onto.

658
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: Call Me by Your Name came out that year, The

659
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: Florida Project, which I keep hearing is great Spider Man Homecoming.

660
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: They started making good Spider Man's again after earlys of

661
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: no goodness. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume two, which I

662
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: think kind of was a huge hit that then completely disappeared.

663
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: Did you see disaster artists? I didn't see it. I did.

664
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: It was solid, but also completely disappeared. Three billboards outside Eving.

665
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: That was that everybody thought was going to be this

666
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: is about race, this could work. Yeah that was no

667
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: good Uh, but I do like that filmmaker though. I

668
00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: love a fucking what's it called in Bruges. People should

669
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: check that out if they haven't. Colin Farrell gives a

670
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: great performance. I stand a Colin Farrell. Uh. Coco came

671
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: out that year. That was Martin McDonough. Martin McDonnell. It

672
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: took me a second ago. Yeah. It's also a big

673
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: Walkman fan. So I would always see him at Walkman show.

674
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: Really yeah, alright, go ahead. Yeah, Coco was really good too.

675
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: That was one. See I didn't watch Mohanna. I didn't

676
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: watch the other one. Coco great. I really like Cocoa.

677
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: Maybe I should watch Mohanna because I feel like that

678
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: as a child that would have resonated with me the most.

679
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: Is like a vaguely brown Asian child. Of the movies,

680
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: I would say Coco is probably the best of of Morianna.

681
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed Coco funk. I was like this is

682
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: I like this? Yeah? I was really and this is

683
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: one of the first Pixar films I had seen in

684
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: a while too. Um but I think I was like,

685
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: you know what, if they're gonna they're gonna be out

686
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: here doing doing stories about different cultures and check this

687
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: one out. John Wick two came out did better than

688
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: john Wick one, leading people to suspect this John Wick

689
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: thing might be here, might have some might have some legs. Huh.

690
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: American made Justice League completely disappeared from the consciousness. Yeah,

691
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: the logo Batman movie did well, but I don't really

692
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: logo Batman was that it's the logo. Yeah, it was

693
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: from the Logo Network. Yeah, yeah, yeah, was that good.

694
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting. Um so, oh it came out this year.

695
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: That was like horror movie. And then remember when everyone

696
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: was vegan after oak Ja. Yeah, I'm never eating meat man,

697
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: never again. Then look at look at you. Now you

698
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: go back to people who told you they were done

699
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: eating meat after seeing OAKA, and tell me how many

700
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: people still have committed to meet. Tough year for Tom

701
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: Cruise man, because this is also the Mummy year when

702
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: he came out with that Mummy he was he became

703
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: the Mummy. He becomes the Mummy. Yeah, so they were

704
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: trying to start a cinematic universe where in Tom Cruise

705
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: was a superhero mummy like he was the Mummy. He

706
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: because at the end spoiler alert, he becomes the Mummy

707
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: spoiler alerts that nobody saw in the first place them. Yeah,

708
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: and then that was gonna be like because when't they're

709
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: like a Wolfman Benicio del Toro movie that nobody saw.

710
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: They were attempting to do all those universal monsters, universal monsters.

711
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: They were gonna be like the next big thing. All

712
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: the Money in the World was a movie that I

713
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: remember seeing a lot of previews. Four I thought it

714
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be like that years you know, Award contender

715
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: feel Good. I don't know what do you mean, like

716
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: after Kevin Spacey was pulled out of it. I think

717
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: I saw the I think it original. Oh yeah, so

718
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: this is right when Kevin Spacey was getting disappeared from Hollywood,

719
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: And I think was it this Winter two that he

720
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: dropped that bizarre that took like a year for him

721
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: to drop. But I could, like a lot of these things,

722
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't, uh, like my timing is all fucked up

723
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: on Oh yeah, And who could forget iconic Asian American

724
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: actress Scarlett Johansson and the show that was when she

725
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: started her run as America's problematic Bay Transformers The Last Night.

726
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe a Transformers movie came out that year.

727
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: Why that just seems like the Transformers movies where like

728
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: they were done with him. Yeah, we're like most people

729
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: were lizing years ago. We're like, we're doing this well.

730
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 1: I suspect that was one that was made for China,

731
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: maybe because that was one that had like wild product placement.

732
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: Were like companies like no one in America had ever

733
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: seen or known. Oh yeah, we covered this on dailies,

734
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: I guys, because it was just Jam McNabb, one of

735
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: our writers. We paid him to go see that movie

736
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,959
Speaker 1: having to do it ourselves. Yeah, I want to see.

737
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: Let's see what kind of what kind of box office? Dude?

738
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: Is six five million in America? No? Just in general?

739
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: Or look at the breakout though, because I bet it

740
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: was like a very small portion was American. No, No,

741
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: that's what I mean, Like, I think, even despite it

742
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: being profitable, it could only have been a sliver of

743
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: the market. The Beauty and the Beast reboots when they started,

744
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: did you watch that doing the live the live actioning.

745
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: I've seen it. Oh you've heard I've seen it on TV.

746
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: I did not go see it. It is this the

747
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:43,279

758
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: Lewis phone. Yeah, it was pretty It's worth seeing the

759
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: the performance, the character that they created as pretty pretty well,

760
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: he's just you know, it's I don't think you'll ever

761
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a time I saw Daniel

00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: Lewis perform and you're like, yeah, even if you don't

763
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,359

00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: award for completely forgotten movie. Uh like compared to what

769
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: it was at the time. Alien Covenant, Oh yeah, I

770
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 1: can't believe that movie came out, that came and went

771
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: that just we should, man at one point, just really

772
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: check some of these out. See if we missed anything,

773
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I hate I'd hate to

774
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: think that we missed out on something in Transformers The

775
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: Last Night. Yeah, all right, so that's been seventeen. Do

776
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: we miss any stories? Probably a whole ship, all right,

777
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: People like you didn't talk about Deadpool in sixteen? Okay,

778
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: Deadpool in sixteen. Yeah, Deadpool came out. That was big.

779
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I was actually, I will say that

780
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 1: I was bracing myself for something terrible, and I'm like, yeah,

781
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't go through all a lot of

782
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: movies in sixteen, but that was one I actually seen

783
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: and felt positive about. So yeah, that was a good one. Uh. Ten.

784
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: Clover Field Lane came out in twenty sixteen. I liked that.

785
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: I was that in the theater. Actually I did too,

786
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know why what compelled me to it

787
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: got I think it was like wild high on rotten tomatoes, right,

788
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: and so everyone was like, is this like a masterpiece

789
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: and no, it was just they were giving it a

790
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: high score for what it was, right, right, you know

791
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: which it was. It did what it tried to do.

792
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: Um oh, and then we missed it did what it

793
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 1: tried to do. Then we missed the biggest the movie

794
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: that defined seventeen, deep Water Horizon. Oh that's right, bro,

795
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: that's right. You let this oil spill, bro, Come on, bro,

796
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: come on, bro knocked out there? Yeah, I fucking knocked

797
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: this oil back in the ground. Bro. Oh shit. Alright.

798
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,439
Speaker 1: So like the Award for movie that I can't believe

799
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: actually happened, I think might not have maybe Fantastic Beasts,

800
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: the Harry Potter like extension. Yo, nobody isn't that to

801
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: do his name clue? I think again? See this is

802
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I've never seen Harry Potter things, but

803
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: some names that sounds so dumb to me. It's like

804
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: nuts commander, and I'm like, what the fund is this?

805
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: And her majesty, she likes Harry Potter, and I was

806
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: annoying the funk out of her because I was like, new,

807
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: isn't it what it is? But it's something like that.

808
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: I I was asking. This is like one of the

809
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: first Harry Potter films I sat through, and I just

810
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: had so many questions, like if you knew what was,

811
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: if you knew the university were in, you would stop

812
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: asking where they go and how they're getting these places.

813
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what it is that's a teleport? How

814
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: many people can go there? And doesn't take time? Wars

815
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: There's some issues with the metaphysics of the Harry Potter

816
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: Universe one also came out in twenty six. No, not

817
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: like it's just it doesn't hold together any scrutiny. Yeah,

818
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 1: maybe that has time travel like that, Yeah, not many

819
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: reason for the plot. Not many writers take the responsibility

820
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: of doing a time travel script and actually ranching out

821
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: what the means for other you know, parallel timelines and

822
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: things like that, and sort of like, yeah, and then

823
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: we'll go there and this will happen. Then they go back,

824
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: and then that happens. Not thinking they come back. And

825
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: but honestly, half the time when you're watching you're so

826
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: like in the actual narrative of it, it's hard to

827
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: be like, well, I don't know about that. Sometimes it

828
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: is so glaring that in your mind you go, oh,

829
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: I wonder what they'll do about that, and then and

830
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: then nothing. Yeah, okay, yeah, you had to get the

831
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: draft in. I get it. So top three movies from

832
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: these two years you said, you said, Suicide Squad, Suicide Squad, uh,

833
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: Fantastic Beasts, Fantastic Beasts, and Alien Covenant No no, no, no,

834
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: call me by your name. Okay, yeah, did you like that?

835
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: It made me interested in Italy? Okay, I will say that.

836
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: Uh did you suck a apercot when you were over there? No?

837
00:50:50,640 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: But I did in Northbridge? Uh? All right, that and

838
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: that does it. With that, we will leave you. Uh

839
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: that was our seventeen h all we got left nineteen.

840
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: Uh what are we going to find out about? Hey?

00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: What the heck guy was that? Uh so? Yeah, well,
