Speaker 2: And Bruno Kirby, I'm gonna die.

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh God, hit the trail of super lashes.

00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,200

Speaker 2: You are nice, scorning, good sounds man.

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: to sit a little taller in the saddle.

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying, who cow in a river? He believe.

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,080

00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: Serty slickers, You're gonna go home cowboys.

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 4: City slickers.

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: OK. When I first saw this, when it came out

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: ninety one, love to Billy Christil, big megastar host of

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: the Oscar some like four times, hands down, the greatest

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: Oscars host ever, brilliant in so many movies, and this

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: was him sort of coming into primetime. I was kind

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: of nervous about what it we like to go back

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: all these years later, But honestly, it's worth a rewatch.

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: It still stands up, doesn't it. Jack? What do you

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: think of it?

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: Actually watching a whole new light. I did love it

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 5: as a kid, but I wasn't ready for how much

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 5: I was going to relate to the characters in their thirties, aging,

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: feeling like they've already passed their peak his adventure lost

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 5: in their life. Now I was one hundred percent in it.

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 5: I loved it. This is a great movie.

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still a solid ten out of ten for me.

50
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: Billy Crystal is amazing.

51
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: In it.

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: Bruno Kirby's also fantastic as well. Daniel Stern, who if

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: you don't recognize the name, the creepy looking baddie with

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: Joe Peshi in Home Alone. Wasn't supposed to be in it.

55
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: It was original goal to be Rick Moranis. He was

56
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: signed up, starting to do some of the early sort

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: of training for horseback Ride. It was going to be

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: a movie. His wife got very ill, diagnosed with cancer.

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: He left Hollywood for twenty years. Sadly, years later she

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: passed away. He decided that his biggest job was to

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: raise his kids. So I think his first movie in

62
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: twenty five years is out this year. They're making a

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: follow up to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and so yeah,

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: last minute replacement at three weeks notice Daniel Sterne came in.

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: They're all great together. The thing watching it now, as

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: I preach approach on was forty nine. This year is

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: like then, like thirty eight, thirty nine. It's so young

68
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: to have a midlife crisis, like you're still holding it down.

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: Then I was the right of thirty nine. Fast forward

70
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: a couple of years everything was falling apart. Then is

71
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: when it happened to me if there had been a

72
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: dude ranch that I could have gone to with my mates,

73
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: you know, and a Jack Palance creepy character called Curly.

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: I actually started to think, I do want to do

75
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: something like this with my life. Could I rustle cattle

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: with Christian?

77
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: Like?

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: Is this something like this for us?

79
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: They still experiences? I said, gone? Because what happened is

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: I was looking around yesterday. Is this movie became so big, right,

81
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: is that it spawned a whole sort of separate travel

82
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: industry of what they called working active holidays where people

83
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: could go and do cattle ranching for two weeks rather

84
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: than go and sit on a sun lounger. By Paul,

85
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: you could go and do something like this and have

86
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: an experience. I'd love to know. Can you still do this?

87
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: Because as I was watching, I was thinking this would

88
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: be a great thing to do. Now, I'll tell you

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: what the sad thing is. You genuinely we said this

90
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: a lot like you don't get music like that anymore,

91
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: and you don't. They don't make movies like this anymore.

92
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: But actually, if you watched it again City Slickers, you'll

93
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: notice a real lack. There aren't any movies like that anymore. Actually,

94
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: it's really great storytelling. The leads aren't all Chris Hemsworth.

95
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: They are. They are three schleppy middle aged.

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 5: Men, but they are many looking guys. Yes, even though

97
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 5: they pretend Bruno Kirby is God's gift to women, the

98
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 5: most beautiful man to walk the earth, because he's.

99
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: This big woman and I didn't buy. I didn't buy

100
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: at the time, and I sat on him. Right now

101
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: that he's got a twenty five year old lingerie model,

102
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: you're thinking Bono Kirby guys like that unless they got

103
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: a couple of billion, that's just not true. And Daniel

104
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: Stern as one who's running like his father in law's

105
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: sports sports shop or something. It's got like some twenty

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: year old girl knocked up. Yeah, there's a lot of

107
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: bits in there don't add up, but overall it's a

108
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: brilliant movie. It's a beautiful take on what happens in

109
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: your midlife where you start to question where is it

110
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: all going and where have you come from? And also

111
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: friendship as well, and that still comes across really well.

112
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 2: It's got a lot of heart. One of my favorite

113
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: scenes in any movie is this one. The three of

114
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: them are riding on horseback and they start to go around.

115
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: You do like you do with you mates, You talk

116
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: about the best day and the worst day of your life.

117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: And Billy Crystal's character asked Bruno Kirby what was the

118
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: best day of his life. Initially he doesn't want to

119
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: talk about it, then he gets into it. This, to

120
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: me should have won the Oscar for Best Picture for

121
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: this scene with Bruno Kirby's bit talking about the best

122
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: day of his life.

123
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,119
Speaker 4: I'm fourteen and my mother and father are fighting again,

124
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: you know, because she caught him again. Caught him this

125
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: time the girl drawn by the house to pick him up.

126
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 4: And I finally realized he wasn't just cheating on my mother,

127
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: he was cheating on us. So I told them, I said,

128
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 4: you're bad to us. We don't love you. I'll take

129
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: care of my mother and my sister. We don't need

130
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: you anymore. And he made like he was going to

131
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 4: hit me, but I didn't budge. Then he turned around

132
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 4: and he left. It never bother us again. But I

133
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 4: took care of my mother and my sister from that

134
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 4: day on. That's my best day.

135
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: What was it?

136
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: Worst day?

137
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: Same day?

138
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: Oh, it still kills me now. It gives me goosebumps

139
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: that what was your worst day the same day? That

140
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: scenems brilliant, as is this one. It's where Billy Crystal

141
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: goes to talk to a class of teenagers saying, listen,

142
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: enjoy your life now where you still get choices, and

143
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: then goes into a purely Billy Crystal, pure stand up

144
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: routine about the stages of life, and he nails it.

145
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: This movie is thirty one years old, this scene's still brilliant.

146
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: When you're a teenager, you think you can do anything,

147
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: and you do. Your twenties are a blur. Thirties you

148
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: raise your family, you make a little money, and you

149
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: think to yourself, what happened in my twenties. Forties you

150
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: grow a little pipe belly, you grow another chin. The

151
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: music starts to get too loud. One of your old

152
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Fifties you have

153
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: a minor surgery. You'll call it a procedure, but it's

154
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: a surgery. Sixties you'll have a major surgery. The music

155
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: is still loud, but it doesn't matter because you can't

156
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: hear it anyway. The seventies, you and the wife retired

157
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: at Fort Lauderdale studiating. Dinner at two o'clock in the afternoon,
