Now 144 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: this is not exclusive, this is not the only twenty 145 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: five movies I like, and I don't even know that 146 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: it's my twenty five favorite. But it's twenty five awesome movies, 147 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: which if you haven't watched, I recommend you watch. You 148 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 3: will enjoy them, you will laugh, you will be moved, 149 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: you will get good things from them. So let's go 150 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: through the twenty five. 151 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: I gotta ask for one more question for you, twenty 152 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: five what movie have you watched the most in your 153 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: life over and over again? 154 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: Well, that actually happens to be number one on the list. 155 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: I knew it. I like this. 156 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: So my favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. Really, 157 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 3: I love The Princess Bride. I think every character in 158 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: it is exquisite. Every line from every character is fantastic. 159 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. 160 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 3: In college, we used to play a game called Drinking 161 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: Princess Bride. And so the way you play Drinking Princess Bride. 162 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: As you sit down with a bunch of college kids, 163 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: you put the movie on and you try to say 164 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: each line immediately before it's said. If you get it right, 165 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 3: you point at somebody. They have to drink. If you 166 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: screw it up even slightly, you drink. And if two 167 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: or more people say the same line at the same time, 168 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: everybody drinks. 169 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: So when you get to the as you wish, why. 170 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: You were so sober in college? Now I understand. 171 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: Look, when you get to the as you wishes? Yeah, 172 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: everyone can get them. So they're all socials and it 173 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: is a fun game. My problem is I know just 174 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: about every line from the movie, but I'll screw them 175 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 3: up slightly, so I end up kind of getting myself 176 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: because I try an awful lot of them. But is 177 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: an exquisite movie. I probably watched The Princess Bride, I 178 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: don't know, a couple hundred times. No way, it is fantastic. 179 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: So that's number one on your list, far and away. 180 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: Number two on my list is The Godfather Saga. 181 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree with you more. One of the best series 182 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: ever made period. 183 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna break it down between one, two 184 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 3: and three been like three, which is a bit of 185 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: a heretical idea. I think three stands on its own 186 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: as its own movie. The least that three only makes 187 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: sense in conjunction with one and two. 188 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: Which is when you're in the club. 189 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: I kind of like that, like you can't fake it 190 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and go see number three and and think oh that 191 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: was incredible. 192 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: You have to be in it. 193 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: And look, I quote all of them all the time, 194 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: you know, from three. Every time I get out, they 195 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: keep pulling me back in. I will say it was 196 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: a little depressing with with with my team where I turned. 197 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 3: You know, senate staffers are all children. 198 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 4: You know, your. 199 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: Average to put that on a T shirt, your average 200 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: senate staffer is like twenty three, twenty four, twenty five. 201 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: So so things like Godfather quotes they just don't get. 202 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: And so I I said something. I said, you know, 203 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 3: this is the business we have chosen.

Now William 269 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: Wilberforce was a Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom 270 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: who led the effort to abolish the slave trade. 271 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: Very cool, is it true? 272 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: Store, true, Store Oka and Wilberforce. So, when he started 273 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: as a young MP, the slave trade was the United 274 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 3: Kingdom's single greatest source of revenue. It was their business. 275 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: And he begins as this young MP arguing we must 276 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 3: end the slave trade. It is wrong, it is immoral, 277 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: and everyone laughs at him, and it would be like 278 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: if you were in Texas standing up saying we should 279 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: ban oil and gas. 280 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: I mean, it was that absurd of an idea back then. 281 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: And he spends fifty years battling for it, and the 282 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 3: movie ends with him successfully championing and passing the legislation 283 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: abolishing the slave trade and shutting down their most lucrative 284 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: business because it was.

What so 286 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: the person who wrote the hymn amazing Grace was a 287 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 3: friar who had been the former captain of a slave ship. Really, 288 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: he was the captain of a slave ship. And think 289 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: of the words of the song, amazing grace, amazing grace, 290 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. 291 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: I once was lost, but now and found, was blind, 292 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: but now I see.

He mean, I mean, you think of 296 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: the evil entailed in being the captain of a slave ship, 297 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: and then the amazing grace that that that God offered 298 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: redemption even in the face of the horrific evil. It 299 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: puts a whole different character. The book is by Eric Metaxas, 300 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: who's a fantastic author.

Gene Hackman is in it. 315 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: Gene Hackman is spectacular. What's interesting about Unforgiven that is 316 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: so powerful is it turns all of the stereotypes of 317 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: the Western on its head. So, for example, Clint Eastwood 318 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 3: plays this, this outlaw who had turned over a good 319 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: leaf when was good and then was going back gets hired. 320 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: What happens is a a woman who is a prostitute 321 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: is badly cut up by a drunk cowboy and they 322 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 3: put out a reward to kill the cowboy who cut 323 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: her up, and Clint Eastwood, as this retired outlaw, needs 324 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: the money and so it is coming to collect the reward, 325 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 3: and Morgan Freeman, his partner, comes with him. But there's 326 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: a point where where Clint east would you know, there's 327 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: there's a young kid who wants to be a gunslinger 328 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: and and he's like practicing on shooting fast, and like 329 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 3: Clint Eastwood says, well, you know, for me, this is 330 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: about as fast as I can draw my gun, point it, 331 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: aim at it, pull the trigger, and hit what I'm 332 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: aiming at. And he said, in most firefights, people are 333 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: scared out of their mind and they're just terrified. And 334 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: whoever can kind of calmly engages who wins. And there 335 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 3: are scenes where like everyone's like, oh crap, and they 336 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 3: shoot their foot and they drop their gun and they're 337 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: like freaking out and he kind of and he would 338 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 3: just get drunk and just sort of systematically banged and 339 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: it it really did. 340 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: Invert many of the conventional wisdom. 341 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: Of being a fast draw on everything else. 342 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 3: And Gene Hackman's character is hysterical.

Although as much de Niro got 421 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 3: all the acclaim, but I actually thought Robin Williams stole 422 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: the show. 423 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 2: I love Rob Williams, so this is what this is 424 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: right at my alley. 425 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 3: Robin Williams is one of my my all time favorite 426 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 3: actors ever.

Awakenings, 442 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 3: the portrayal he gives. I actually like Robin Williams even 443 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 3: better in dramatic performances than comedy. And he's one of 444 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 3: the funniest human beings ever alive. So Awakening on the list, Yes, fabulous, 445 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 3: all right.

And for me, 519 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 3: there are two kind of personal reasons why that movie 520 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 3: is significant to me. 521 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 2: Well, it's got to be because of Houston. 522 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 3: Well, when we went to see the movie, I took 523 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 3: my mother to the movie. I took Heidi to the movie. 524 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 3: I took both my daughters to the movie. And it 525 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: was interesting my girls. It was the first time they'd 526 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: seen a movie that had segregated. 527 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, the bathroom is the one of the most iconic 528 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: scenes in that whole movie. 529 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: And it led to I had a long conversation with 530 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 3: both of them and they were like, well, why would 531 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: people have done that? And to talk about segregation and 532 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 3: civil rights and just sort of walk through the history 533 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: of it. It prompted really good conversations with my girls. 534 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 3: But secondly, so my mom. My mom graduated from Rice 535 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty six and she had a math degree, 536 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: and she went to work as a computer programmer at Shell. 537 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 3: She subsequently went to work at the Smithsonian. And remember 538 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 3: the movie Hidden Figures begins with Sputnik being launched and 539 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: sort of the space race being beginning. One of my 540 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 3: mother's first assignments at the Smithsonian was to help compute 541 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 3: the orbits of Sputnik. And so in front of the girls, 542 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: I asked my mom. I said, Mom, you were doing this, 543 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 3: and in fact, you were doing it ten years earlier. 544 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: You were doing it in the fifties. Hidden Figures is 545 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: set in the sixties, and I said, how accurate is it? 546 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 3: And my mother, I thought it was very accurate. That 547 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 3: it did a really good job of conveying what it 548 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 3: was like to be a woman in space and science 549 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: and in a technical environment. And I commented to her, 550 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 3: I said, okay, one of the strange things to a 551 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 3: more modern ear is that they referred to the women 552 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 3: there as computers. Yeah, and we think of a computer 553 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 3: as a piece of metal. 554 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: But they were actually called computers because they were actually 555 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: doing the math. 556 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 3: And my mother started laughing at me and she said 557 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 3: her first job title was computer and when she started 558 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 3: at Shell, she had a business card that said eleanor. 559 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 4: Dearra computer No Way. 560 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: And so. 561 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: In response to that, I introduced legislation to rename the 562 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 3: street in front of NASA headquarters Hidden Figures Way. And 563 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: this is actually a really cool story. I introduced that 564 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 3: legislation before it could pass, and we would have gotten 565 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 3: it passed, but a DC City councilman saw that legislation 566 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 3: and said, you know what, that's a great idea. And 567 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 3: the DC City councilman introduced it in the DC City council. 568 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 3: Guy's a Democrat, and he got it passed. So the 569 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: DC City Council passes. 570 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 2: It's cool. 571 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 3: So I went to the street signed dedication and that 572 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 3: that is the street sign there, and I was there, 573 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 3: I spoke at the denawary it it is the headquarters 574 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 3: of NASA in DC, and so NASA, the address of 575 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 3: NASA is one Hidden Figure's Way. And so I spoke 576 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 3: of the dedication the DC City councilman spoke, and he's 577 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 3: a Democrat. 578 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 4: I'm a Republican. 579 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 3: And I told the story of my mom, which was 580 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 3: really cool to get to tell, and I said, look, 581 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: at some level, you might say, listen, the street sign's 582 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 3: not that big. 583 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: A deal, that one is. 584 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 3: But at another level, you know, fifty years from now, 585 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 3: one hundred years from now, some little girl some little 586 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: boy is going to come visit NASA and they're gonna 587 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: look up and see the street sign and they're gonna say, hey, 588 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: what does that mean? And they're going to hear the 589 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 3: story of the pioneering African American women who were the 590 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 3: mathematicians that got us to the moon. And so it's 591 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 3: where movies and stories are powerful. 592 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 1: Did any of the characters of the movie? Did any 593 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: of them get to come to. 594 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 3: That that they had passed by the time we did that? 595 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: So no, all right, we just got a few more. 596 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: Schindler's List one of the hardest movies to watch. 597 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 4: Yes. 598 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: The other one is that I can I've only watched 599 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: it one time because I just can't ring myself to 600 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: watch it again. 601 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: Is Lone Survivor. 602 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: Those two movies to me are must sees, But I 603 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: just I don't know if it's because I've become a 604 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: dad and having kids now and watching the kids, I 605 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: just can't watch them like I used to. 606 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 3: So, as you know, a couple of weeks ago, I 607 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: was at Normandy for the eightieth anniversary of D Day, 608 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: and wildly enough I got to meet Steven Spielberg and 609 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: Tom Hanks, which was really cool, and I had pretty 610 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 3: extended conversations with both of them, and they've done Look, 611 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 3: their politics are both left of center, but they've done 612 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 3: an amazing job really honoring and telling the stories of 613 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 3: the greatest generation, whether saving Private Ryan, whether Band of Brothers, 614 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 3: whether the Pacific and so we're talking about that.
