1 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Saturday, March fourteenth, It is 2 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Oscars weekend. And if you have not watched all of 3 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: the Best Picture nominees, you still got time, but you 4 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: ain't got much because it will take you twenty three 5 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: hours and ten minutes to watch all of them. Don't 6 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: want to do it. Me and Robes we did it 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: for you. And with that, welcome to this episode of 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. That is true. One caveat we'll add later, 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: but we had to make the effort. Robes, Oscars is coming. 10 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: We said, oh crap, we've only seen a couple of 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: these movies. Isn't that what everybody does every year? Owne? 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: I feel like that is almost every year because so often. Look, 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: these are films that are being acclaimed and accredited for 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: having incredible cinnamon, Like I can't talk. 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: You say cinnamon, I say cinnamon. I can't talk, I 16 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: don't pinnotography. 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was more like there was value. I 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: was trying to say, there was value in watching them. 19 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: They're not necessarily box office successes or like I have 20 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: to go see this movie in the theater kind of films. 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: These are more ones that have value, right, or some 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: sort of contribution to the arts, and so they're not 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: necessarily movies that people are clamoring to go see. 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: Some of these, right, they expanded it to ten several 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: years ago, but some of these did have box office 26 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: success overwhelmingly. To your point, no, they did not, because 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: most people when they see the run times, frankly, it's 28 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: not attractive some of the run times. But also who 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: has that kind of time. 30 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: It's a huge investment and you have to really be Look, 31 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: there are folks who get excited every year, for your consideration, 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: want to go watch all of the movies. And I 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: will say it absolutely makes watching the Oscar so much 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: more fun when you see the movie. When you've seen 35 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: the movies, even if you didn't like it, or you're 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: rooting for it or you're rooting against it, but you 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: have skin in the game, so to speak, because you're 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: invested because you watched it and you took the time 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: to see if it was good or not or what 40 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: you thought about. 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: Is that the argument for so many years, the why 42 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: the ratings were down was because so many movies nominated 43 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: were not fan favorite. 44 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: Movies, without a doubt. Without it, people are like, what movie, huh, 45 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: when was that in theaters. I mean every year I 46 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: do that too. I'm like, when did that come out? 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: Even if they have big name actors or actresses, if 48 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: the subject matter feels heavy, which oftentimes best picture subject 49 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: matter is heavy, This year is no exception. It just 50 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: feels like more of a duty rather than a pleasure 51 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: to go see. You kind of have to get in 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: the right headspace to see some of these films, and 53 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: that's a lot for many folks especially, I would say 54 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: in these times where things are already heavy, you already 55 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 2: have We're in the middle of a war, we have 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: so much political strife and discord, So why go to 57 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: a theater to continue that theme? I mean, I do 58 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: think that is why people get turned off from seeing 59 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: some of these epic films. 60 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: And epic is because what qualifies as epic? What long? 61 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: How long do you have to go past two hours 62 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: or two and a half hours before it's considered an 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: effort or does it needs to be three? Because this 64 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: ain't Lawrence of Arabia, that's not going with the wind. 65 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: They're not knocking on the door of those times. 66 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: No. But for me, anything over two hours you have 67 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: to prove to me why it's worth my time. 68 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: Okay, then there is only two out of the ten 69 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: movies that come in under two hours. 70 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: And one of them is at one hour and fifty 71 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: eight minutes. 72 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: So what are you trying to say? They're all except 73 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: for one. We got one movie essentially that clocks in 74 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: under two hours. 75 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, and it took us the longest to watch, 76 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: So that is a true true story. Okay, So the 77 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: shortest movie of the ten, nominated for Best Picture, took 78 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: us the longest to. 79 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: Watch because we had some of these obviously we streamed 80 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: most of Okay, we should say that off the jump 81 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: out of the ten movies, only one did we go 82 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: to the theater to see. 83 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: That's true, and I think everyone can guess if you 84 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: are a fan of this this podcast, you know we're 85 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: massive horror movie fans, so you can imagine. The only 86 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: movie we actually were excited about seeing and went to 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: the theaters to go see was Sinners. Sinners. 88 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: But the rest on the list we never I think, 89 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: gave a moment thought to going through a theater. 90 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: To take issue with that, we actually saw Bogonia before 91 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: we ever even considered doing this episode or seeing Oscar movies. 92 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: We actually thought it wasn't the theater, I said theater. Oh, oh, 93 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: I meant just choosing to watch on our own time. 94 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: I said theater. Ten movies. None of these crossed our 95 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: mind when they came out, they go, hey, let's go 96 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: to the theater this weekend. Sinners was the only one 97 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: yes to your point about horror movies for us. But 98 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: this is a Michael B. We love Michael B. We 99 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: love Ryan Cooklan, we love this cag we love Dale 100 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: Roy Lindo. It was something in there for us. It 101 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: was an automatic. It was no dire, There was nothing robes. 102 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: We never got close in discussion on any of these 103 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: other movies. Hey, you want to go see it this weekend. 104 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 2: I thought about Frankenstein. 105 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: You didn't talk. Wait, that was Netflix. It didn't have 106 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: a theatrical release. 107 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: Did I thought it did. Oh, I thought it did 108 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: have a theat a short one. 109 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: And then they put yes, but no, we didn't connect. 110 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: This was probably something else. I considered it, and then 111 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: I saw the run time. And this is another full 112 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: disclosure moment. We really prefer movies at an hour thirty 113 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: or less. And I think movie fans and maybe also 114 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: we're a product of the times where we're just we 115 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: have shorter attention spans. And you know, I hate to 116 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 2: bring Timothy Shallomes misstep into this, but that is the truth. 117 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 2: We've all kind of become conditioned to give it to me. Quickly, 118 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: tell me what I need to see to be entertained, 119 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: and then I'm done. 120 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: Are we like that? 121 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: I think so I am, and I think we're becoming 122 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: more and more like that given the way we consume 123 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: entertainment or any kind of media. 124 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: All right, so let's tell you what we're doing with 125 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: ten movies here. I'm really curious how many ask yourselves, 126 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: how many of these ten have you seen? That's one question? 127 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: And how many of the ten did you see because 128 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: you had a desire, like you were really curious about 129 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: that movie or really interested in that movie? Yeah? I 130 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: was curious about some. But here are your run times 131 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: for your Best Picture nominees. The longest one was this 132 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: a tie at the top. 133 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 2: It's a tie at the top. 134 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: For the longest two one bat laughed, another and the 135 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: Secret Agent. 136 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: Both of them coming in at two hours and forty 137 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: one minutes. This was shocking to me. The run time. 138 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 2: The next longest movie was f One, the movie with 139 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: Brad Pitt two hours and thirty five minutes, So a 140 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: movie about fast cars took a long time to tell. 141 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: I kind of have to say it did move. Now, 142 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: that is one that didn't feel like some of these 143 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: that were shorter than that felt longer. That is true, 144 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: that would move a little bit. 145 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: Mart two hours and twenty nine minutes. Tied with Frankenstein 146 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: at two hours and twenty nine minutes. 147 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: That one dragged for me. Both of those movies dragged 148 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: for me, all right. Centers of course it shot through 149 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: two hours and seventeen minutes. Love that had music in 150 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: there that really helped and added sentimental value two hours 151 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: and thirteen minutes. This one is this the one. It 152 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: took us a while to watch. This one too, didn't. 153 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: It took us a while to watch this one. But 154 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: the I will say, the one that took us the 155 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: longest was the shortest. We'll get to that. But yeah, 156 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: sentimental value, it's it's just heavy, phenomenally acted but very 157 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: heavy subject material. And speaking of that, coming in next 158 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: at Hamnet at two hours and five minutes felt like 159 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: four hours. 160 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: Yes it did, and we'll get into that in a second. 161 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: Bagonia hour fifty eight like you just said, but just 162 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: still right at that two hour mark. And then train 163 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: dreams as dreams right, I wrote dream? Oh, trained dreams 164 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: or dream much? 165 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. Actually that's the funny. Is it plural? 166 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: That's how much we ran through the movie, Folks. We 167 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: don't even know if it was a singular or plural 168 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to yeah, with an s. This took 169 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: us a while. This was a heavy and a beautiful 170 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: picture in a lot of ways, but it was heavy. 171 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: We want to tell you all we're talking about this now. 172 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: This is kind of our introductory episode. We are going 173 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: to do minisodes on each one of these movies. We'll 174 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: let you know what we thought about them. We'll let 175 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: you know what it took to watch them, how we 176 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: felt going into it, coming out of it, and what 177 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: we think about their Oscar chances. We're gonna also it'll 178 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: be a little cliff notes version if you haven't seen, 179 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: we'll get you caught up enough that if you're watching 180 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the Oscars Sunday night, you'll go, oh, okay. At least 181 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: Amy and TJ got me somewhat up to speed on 182 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: this movie. 183 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: It's cliff notes. I mean, how many times in college 184 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: were you maybe like not tending all your classes, you 185 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: could buy some cliff notes, get some from some friends. 186 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: That's exactly what this is going to be. Today and tomorrow. 187 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: We'll get you caught up so that when the Oscars 188 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: actually begins on Sunday evening, you'll feel like you have 189 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: a good idea of where each movie stands. 190 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: All right, So the so these ten before we get 191 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: into them individually and those minishodes, we wanted to get 192 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: on and let you know what we're doing, but also 193 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: just a collective and roades. I think it's no question 194 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: when you think about the crop of Oscar movies, the 195 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: thing that absolutely stands out, and we were asking beforehand 196 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: take centers out of it. The movies. Quite frankly, it 197 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: didn't for us. They didn't feel entertaining, they didn't feel fun. 198 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: They did and again movies don't have to, but they were. 199 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: So you just used the word I'm saying weighty and heavy. 200 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: You just use something else, another word before we started 201 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: that really gets to it. They're just a load. 202 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: Baby, yeah, And so you kind of have to be 203 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: in the right headspace to appreciate these movies, and they 204 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: are worth appreciating. But it's one. I was saying that, 205 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 2: given the times we're in, sometimes I think it's hard 206 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 2: to go in knowing it already feels heavy, and then 207 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 2: you walk into something that's even heavier. It's it's, it's 208 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: and not everyone is like us. But when I when 209 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: I watch a movie, I tend to prefer either laughing, jumping, 210 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: just feeling something that is either thrilling or exciting or 211 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: uplifting or funny. It's it's hard for me to go 212 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: into something knowing I'm about to get weighed down. 213 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: I did know that about some of these movies, and 214 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: some of them are so heavy to the point that 215 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: you again my feeling, I'm not turned off by a 216 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: drama or or heavy themes ropes, and you know what, 217 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,599 Speaker 1: maybe I should include this part. We watch these in 218 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: a two week stretch. 219 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, about two weeks, okay, and we. 220 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: Were watching something every night, and some of these took 221 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: us several nights to get through. But it maybe that 222 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: added to it. 223 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: It was like homework. 224 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I felt like we were getting beat down 225 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: like h again. And these performances are now, there are 226 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: some performances in here you definitely need to check out. 227 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: They're worth watching. And I will say in several of 228 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: these movies, I was brought to tears, like absolutely brought 229 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: to tears, felt tremendous emotion, and connected to the storylines, 230 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: the characters, all of that, and that is what artists about. 231 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: It isn't just about having fun or smiling or laughing. 232 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 2: I get it. It makes you feel things, and when 233 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: you feel things, you're connected. And I do think that's 234 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: important and I understand all of that. It's just sometimes 235 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: these movies are are intense at a time when maybe 236 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: you're not wanting to feel intensity. 237 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the word. Before we started 238 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: the episode, Babe, you used a word that was perfect. 239 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of what it was. It was 240 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: the exact thing for how these movies make you feel. 241 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: As a collective, you use something perfect. I'll try to 242 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: keep thinking of it. But that is, Folks, as you 243 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: go into these, I don't know which one I would recommend. 244 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: I would say we I think we said the most 245 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: entertaining of them. Yes, Centers is awesome and entertained, but 246 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: still it was violent and it had heavier thing. We 247 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: weren't laughing through that at all. But the one movie 248 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: that I am surprised made The Oscar List is probably 249 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: the one that is the most fun or entertaining, if 250 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: you will f one. 251 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I actually was. We were both looking at 252 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: each other saying how and no offense to the artists 253 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 2: and anyone who put this movie together. We were kind 254 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: of like, how is this like the others? It just 255 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: it stands out out to all the other movies that 256 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: were nominated for Best Picture. It's a fun movie. It's 257 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: a thrilling, exciting, well acted movie. But I just wouldn't 258 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: have ever considered it for Best Picture. 259 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: I had all didn't top Gun, the last one didn't 260 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: get to you know what? 261 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: This Could it be the Academy's way of giving a 262 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: nod to box office successes. 263 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: Yes, that's what they said. They added this. They started 264 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: they used to just be five. 265 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: You remember that, and maybe we should go back. 266 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: Okay, how about that? You know what, I'm gonna say 267 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: that till after the break, if we had to just 268 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: do five, we didn't plan on doing this. I'll have 269 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: that on the back of your mind, Rode, if we 270 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: had to just do five, what your five, okay would be? 271 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: We will get into that. Also coming up, we're talking 272 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: about just how long these movies are. I assure you 273 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: they are not even close to being as long as 274 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: some of the longest Oscar winning movies in history. Stay here, 275 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: all right, we continue here on Amy and TJ. You 276 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: got your five. 277 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: I was gonna do it on the fly. 278 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: On the fly. Okay, out of the there are ten 279 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: Best Picture nominees. They used to several, maybe a decade ago. 280 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: Even they only used to be five. So if you 281 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: had to pick five robes, what would the five Best 282 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: Picture nominees be? 283 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: Okay, mine would be Sinners of course, with you there, Frankenstein, 284 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: Sentimental Value. 285 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: Okay, that's four. 286 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: That's four, and then my fifth one would be Secret Agent. 287 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: Why I liked it. 288 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting, it was unique. I thought 289 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: Emma I thought I thought it was Emma Stone. I 290 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: thought it was well acted and creative, and I was 291 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: intrigued the whole time. I was. I was interested to 292 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: figure out what the hell was going on. 293 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Jesse, I can't remember it almost always we'll get into that, right. 294 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: And he never looks the same in any. 295 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: He's lost so much weight. 296 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: I am with you. I think maybe not Bogonia for me? Okay, 297 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: my list would include yes, Sinners were on the same page. 298 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: Sentimental value for sure for me, one battle after another, 299 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: the Secret Agent, and what's left maybe I don't know. 300 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm stuck on the last one. Maybe Bogonia, maybe Frankenstein. 301 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: You know what. Forget both of that. Put in Train Dreams. 302 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: Train Dreams interesting not because of my interest to how 303 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: much I loved it, but Rose that was a beautiful 304 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful movie. It was a heavy movie, 305 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: but it was deep and it was probing. And Joel Edgerton, 306 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: who I don't think is nominated, was great. I always 307 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: loved to watch him. 308 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: He was so good he was not nominated. And to 309 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: follow up on your last question, Jesse Plemmons also was 310 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: notably snubbed for an Oscar nomination in Bogonia, which is 311 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: really interesting. He got a Golden Globe nomination and an 312 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: Actor Award nomination, which is the SAG formerly known as 313 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: the SAG Awards, but he was snubbed for the Oscars. 314 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: Or five again. So I got Trained Dreams, Secret Aids, 315 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: one Battle after another, Sinners and sentimental value. 316 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, mine were Sinners, Frankenstein, Bogonia, sentimental value and Secret Agent. 317 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: We agreed in two or three out of two just 318 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: sinners in the Secret Agent. That's a little surprising sentimental value. 319 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: It's weird crying. I was so moved. 320 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: It might be the one. It might be my it's 321 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: my number one acting recommendation. You've got to see these 322 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: people acting this movie. 323 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: And look, two of these movies are completely subtitled. I 324 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: mean there was a little bit because l Fanning was 325 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: in sentimental value, so there was a little bit of 326 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: English in there, and she was great. The acting, Oh 327 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: my god, Stelen scars Guard and I can't remember the female, 328 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: the main females. 329 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: They have three women nominated in acting categories understandable, one 330 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: for lead and two for supporting. Correct. This movie is 331 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: a little bit deserve. Do you know people say, well, actors, 332 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: this is not hard, and they don't this. You appreciate 333 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: the art when you see these people perform. Wrote this 334 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: other level. 335 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 2: And the complicated relationships between fathers and daughters. Like I 336 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: was just moved. I was crying, I'm with. 337 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: You, I'm with you. That's other level stuff. Well, so 338 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: got senators, we understand why Frankenstein for you. 339 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: I just thought it was beautiful and epic and sweeping, 340 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 2: and Germo del Toro is just he knows what he's doing, 341 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 2: and it's just it was just wonderfully acted and just 342 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: I love the mood and the feel of it. I 343 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: love the story Mary Shelley's sprink is sign Truth. That 344 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: was my senior play. I was Elizabeth soon to be 345 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: von Frankenstein, so I don't know. I felt a connection 346 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 2: to the movie too. I loved it. 347 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: One Battle after Another is not on your list, It's. 348 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I had high expectations, and maybe that's why 349 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: I think so much of this is when you go 350 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: into watching a movie, you think you're gonna like it. 351 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 2: For me, that was Marty Supreme as well. I had 352 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: an expectation and then the reality fell short of it, 353 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: and then I just for me, I didn't put it 354 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: on my top five. 355 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: That was one. I think we'll talk about this in 356 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: the episode that we are specific about. One Battle after 357 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: Another that was one robes that I just felt like 358 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: I needed to appreciate and recognize the type of movie 359 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: making and storytelling and acting that was throughout. Sean Penn. 360 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: He was incredible. 361 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: Okay, he makes you stop and pay attention to his performance, 362 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: his look, everything about him agreed, and this movie was 363 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: something else. But we talked about how long these movies 364 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: are Robes. They're not even close to the longest Going 365 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: with the Wind. There's some debate about if it's the 366 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: longest because it has an intermission and all this stuff, 367 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: but it is considered the longest that's out there. Did 368 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: it feel that long to you? Do you like Going 369 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: with the Wind. 370 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: It's been a while since I've seen it, but I 371 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: think I've seen it two or three times, and yes, 372 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. I did. It's it's a phenomenal movie. 373 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: Three hours fifty minutes, three hours. 374 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 2: And I didn't realize minutes. 375 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: Lawrence of Arabia three hours forty minutes, Been Her three 376 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: hours thirty it's one of your favorites. 377 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 2: One of your favorites. 378 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: I thought, ben Her was take amendments. 379 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: Oh sorry, they're interchangeable. 380 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: To me, there's long movies with all white dudes in them. 381 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, doesn't he like ben Her? No techment? 382 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: Sorry, Rock three hours and thirty two and then Lord 383 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: of the Rings Return of the King three hours and 384 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: twenty one minutes. So these aren't knocking on the door 385 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: of those necessarily, but right it's all it's a commitment 386 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: if you're going to sit down and watch a two 387 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: hour and forty one minute movie that's subtitled. 388 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: That's tough, that is that can be to be wide 389 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: awake with a coffee in yourself. 390 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: All right, folks, look for these.
