Speaker 2: karaoke really because we all know every single line in it.

11
00:00:45,485 --> 00:00:48,404
Speaker 2: But there's something we've watched that movie so many times.

12
00:00:48,684 --> 00:00:51,644
Speaker 2: Always of that to me, you can track. As I'm

13
00:00:51,644 --> 00:00:54,645
Speaker 2: watching the movie with the girls, I'm also watching them

14
00:00:54,685 --> 00:00:57,045
Speaker 2: as well. I remember when you are half the size

15
00:00:57,365 --> 00:01:00,565
Speaker 2: and now we're still watching the same movie. As your

16
00:01:00,605 --> 00:01:03,085
Speaker 2: kids start to grow up, and especially once they become teenagers,

17
00:01:03,125 --> 00:01:04,365
Speaker 2: everything just accelerates.

18
00:01:04,365 --> 00:01:05,884
Speaker 1: It's like you're becoming a parent.

19
00:01:06,045 --> 00:01:09,205
Speaker 2: Your life goes on double time, and so suddenly they're

20
00:01:09,285 --> 00:01:12,125
Speaker 2: nineteen and twenty one, but they're back next to you

21
00:01:12,245 --> 00:01:15,085
Speaker 2: on the couch and you're watching Elf again, and actually

22
00:01:15,085 --> 00:01:17,365
Speaker 2: it's kind of like it's that's what Christmas is about.

23
00:01:18,005 --> 00:01:20,325
Speaker 2: You all come back together, don't you. At Christmas time?

24
00:01:20,485 --> 00:01:22,485
Speaker 2: You know, no matter what age and stage of your life,

25
00:01:22,605 --> 00:01:25,565
Speaker 2: right and elf has been this constant. It's constant for us.

26
00:01:25,605 --> 00:01:27,765
Speaker 2: So I yet that's that's the best one for me?

27
00:01:27,805 --> 00:01:28,525
Speaker 1: What's yours? Rio?

28
00:01:28,725 --> 00:01:35,125
Speaker 3: The Family Stone is the perfect.

29
00:01:32,925 --> 00:01:38,365
Speaker 2: Smart Yorkish minipus rubbish that's got a serious sugar problem.

30
00:01:38,685 --> 00:01:44,285
Speaker 1: No, no, we just got early into extreme opinions. Perfect movie,

31
00:01:44,565 --> 00:01:47,725
Speaker 1: killer cast and the labor world. Great cast, great cast,

32
00:01:47,965 --> 00:01:48,285
Speaker 1: some of that.

33
00:01:48,405 --> 00:01:52,165
Speaker 3: Diane Keaton, Luke Wilson, Sarah Jessica Parker.

34
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:55,005
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a traveling wheelbreas. It doesn't up to

35
00:01:55,085 --> 00:01:55,845
Speaker 1: a great sun.

36
00:01:56,205 --> 00:01:59,445
Speaker 3: It's actually like this. You couldn't possibly have any edit

37
00:01:59,485 --> 00:02:01,405
Speaker 3: notes for that movie every single second.

38
00:02:01,485 --> 00:02:03,085
Speaker 1: But are you running now the debate cup?

39
00:02:03,405 --> 00:02:07,085
Speaker 2: You could ed who has edit notes?

40
00:02:07,525 --> 00:02:11,725

Speaker 1: mister Spielberg, I've got some edit notes about Jaws.

42
00:02:15,005 --> 00:02:18,445
Speaker 2: It's a bit the first quarter is a bit sluggish.

43
00:02:18,445 --> 00:02:22,445
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful story about a family patriarch, and I think, yeah,

44
00:02:22,485 --> 00:02:23,325
Speaker 4: it's gorgeous.

45
00:02:23,525 --> 00:02:29,085

Speaker 3: smart man.

47
00:02:36,445 --> 00:02:40,965
Speaker 2: Irritating, and the husband is portrayed such a narrow way

48
00:02:41,005 --> 00:02:41,405
Speaker 2: as well.

49
00:02:41,685 --> 00:02:50,605

54
00:03:01,445 --> 00:03:04,685
Speaker 4: it kind of is representative of the day of excess

55
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:08,885
Speaker 4: and you know, just silliness by the end of Christmas,

56
00:03:09,165 --> 00:03:11,365

60

61
00:03:22,325 --> 00:03:25,405
