Speaker 2: Out of the eighties, and it's the letter L.
Speaker 1: Good day's letter is Letter L. Christian o'condlest of the eighties.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Christian O'Connor show on God once a week
Speaker 2: you break apart of the eighties with our aightes out
Speaker 2: of the eighties this week. Then the letter L live
Speaker 2: aid Patsy, how old are you?
Speaker 1: Where did you watch it?
Speaker 2: All?
Speaker 3: Oh? How old was I? I was about thirteen and
Speaker 3: I can really remember watching it with my two brothers
Speaker 3: who wrote me into it, and thank goodness they did.
Speaker 3: And I remember Freddie Mercury on the stage and Queen
Speaker 3: he just owned it.
Speaker 2: Francy in the in the Queen movie as well. They
Speaker 2: capture that moment really really well. All right, the letter L. Now,
Speaker 2: Jackie boy, you're not of the eighties, but I know
Speaker 2: you watched a movie last night, which is a henight
Speaker 2: of the eighties? Which movie did you? Any wife? Bank
Speaker 2: can watched last night?
Speaker 1: Land Before Time? This is actually Bianker's favorite film and
Speaker 1: I'd never seen it before, so she watched it often
Speaker 1: as a kid from nineteen eighty eight? Is it Disney
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It's Spielberg and George Lucas the producers,
Speaker 1: executive producers.
Speaker 2: And it's cartoon dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: Cartoon dinosaurs. Yeah, animated dinosaurs. It was the highest grossing
Speaker 1: animated film of its time. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I seem to remember it being very sad. A dinosaur
Speaker 2: is orphaned.
Speaker 1: This start is very sad. I'll give it that.
Speaker 2: But that's like a lot of those classic the Disney movies,
Speaker 2: isn't it. They always start there has to be someone
Speaker 2: being abandoned the forest or orphaned, like classic fables fairy tales.
Speaker 1: And this is both because he sadly loses his mum
Speaker 1: and then he's lost in the wilderness of the prehistoricus
Speaker 1: Stine wrinkle.
Speaker 2: Normally it's the dad that buys it. In these movies.
Speaker 2: It's always the dead dad.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess dad has already bitten the dust, I
Speaker 1: say on somewhere along the line. So that part was sad.
Speaker 1: But and I know this is an important movie for
Speaker 1: a lot of people of that generation because even our
Speaker 1: audio producer who I got the audiograms from, started crying
Speaker 1: when she was watching the YouTube clips of it, reminding
Speaker 1: herself of.
Speaker 2: Being so is the orphan dinosaur, and then he meets
Speaker 2: he meets four of the dinosaurs. I seem to remember Spike,
Speaker 2: Ducky yep, I don't remember the other two.
Speaker 1: This is where the movie lost me. I hated the
Speaker 1: ensemble characters, but the dinosaurs, four other dinosaurs. Littlefoot is
Speaker 1: the main character. He's great, fine, he's the orphan fella.
Speaker 1: He's the orphaned fella. His friends who he meets along
Speaker 1: the way, and some of the worst characters in animated history.
Speaker 1: Ducky is so annoying, Mono Ducky is so annoying. Petree
Speaker 1: is this bat type pterodactyl thing. He's even more annoying
Speaker 1: than Ducky. Actually, are they annoying? Annoying how they're talking
Speaker 1: like babies but they are young.
Speaker 2: That's offending here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about matship, Yes, and Petree, who's the flying
Speaker 1: one can't do anything for himself. Oh no, I can't fly,
Speaker 1: I can't do this, I can't do that. Help me.
Speaker 1: Little Foot he was just annoying. I actually hoped that
Speaker 1: he died.
Speaker 2: I mean, but not the Wizard of Oz. They all
Speaker 2: compliment each other. They're all there to represent what the
Speaker 2: other person doesn't.
Speaker 1: Littlefoot did all the heavy lifting in this. Everyone else
Speaker 1: just hung off here.
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like a very familiar story. I might
Speaker 2: be projecting him.
Speaker 1: I'm not finishing it. Sarah is the price, Sarah Topps
Speaker 1: terrible a with her name. Then they just Sarah bad
Speaker 1: attitude throughout the whole thing. I thought she was so
Speaker 1: read to the rest of the group. I would have
Speaker 1: kicked her out early.
Speaker 2: On such a survivor.
Speaker 1: And then and then Spy just tuned in right, went.
Speaker 2: On till about last night's survivor A bo or anything's
Speaker 2: talking about a beloved eighties movie, The Land Before.
Speaker 1: Tye Spike, who's your favorite character? I don't know why
Speaker 1: he doesn't talk and it doesn't bring anything to the group.
Speaker 1: He brings such a non character, I didn't think. So
Speaker 1: what about Ducky Ducky no head of the besides Petrie,
Speaker 1: the most annoying character in the film.
Speaker 2: Wow? Yeah, And does your wife, well you like this
Speaker 2: watching the movie? O?
Speaker 4: God?
Speaker 1: Well, I got up and excused myself when too another
Speaker 1: room for a bit, and then came back and.
Speaker 2: She was in polite with you in your life. I
Speaker 2: need to recuse myself on this. I need to go
Speaker 2: to another room because I.
Speaker 1: Didn't want to make fun of it in front of her.
Speaker 1: Back to all of mel The only good thing about
Speaker 1: Lamb Before Time is the run time an hour and
Speaker 1: eight minutes perfect.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that is lazy. Come on, Pielberg, they phone
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any less than that, it's really not even a
Speaker 1: feature length.
Speaker 2: Traders used to be around fifteen minutes in the eighties.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what they shouldn't use more in
Speaker 1: modern films that you never hear anymore is the narrator.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the narrator.
Speaker 2: Who's a guy with an old voice, like an old
Speaker 2: timey voice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he just gets you through the film quicker.
Speaker 2: Now, couldn't find anyone for days and das and he
Speaker 2: was about to give up until who came along? Then
Speaker 2: they pick up the.
Speaker 1: Action, Yes exactly, and then you don't have to have
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of story doing all that.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why they most to shave off and now
Speaker 2: just get some old timey voiceover guy to do this.
Speaker 4: One heard had only a single baby, their last hope
Speaker 4: for the future, and they called him Littlefoot.
Speaker 2: How are you not? I'm tearing up like little just
Speaker 2: couldn't care about the idiots. He knew them by Lucas
Speaker 2: and Spring were looking at their watch, going, this is great.
Speaker 2: They got forty five minute We're done by Tuesdage a
Speaker 2: full week on this one, George.
