Speaker 2: This week is action heroes or the biggest movie genres

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: in the world, action heroes. If there were only the

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: four action heroes up on the Mount Rushmore, who has

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: to be there? Who demands to be there? For me?

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: There's only one name, and really it's this person. Then

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: it's who are the other three? Who do you think

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: it is?

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: Jack?

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: I Reckon?

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 6: I know, definitely.

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: I'll give you one guess, John Wick, you got it,

25
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: my friend, John Wick. This is a guy who goes

26
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: on a avenging killing spree because they killed his dog.

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: And when I watched their three movies, A right, there's

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: gonna be two more.

29
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: Right?

30
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: When I watched that. I was like, I didn't think

31
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: at any moment this is over the top, No one

32
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: wonder it. I thought, yeah, I get it. I get it, John,

33
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: they killed your dog.

34
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 6: Even the part where he fights with a horse, he

35
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 6: actually uses a horse.

36
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: As a weapon. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, that's probably what

37
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: I would do if they killed my dog. It's an

38
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: amazing movie. I was like stringing out, what's a good

39
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: clip to play out this. This is a man who's

40
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: just done his dog, killed your son, took his dog. Yeah, John,

41
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: you go on that killing spree over the next five movies,

42
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: avenging that dead dog, none of this.

43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 6: No, he's still doing it for the puppy.

44
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: Into the new movie. Get over that. You don't get

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: over that. Now it's got more complicated. Now they're trying

46
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: to kill him because he killed them. It's just going.

47
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: But they are. They are very stylish Welder movies. The

48
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: fight sequences as well are very very cool. I love them.

49
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: So John Wick for me? Who is it for you?

50
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Jackie boy?

51
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 6: I'm got to come to the defense of Tom Cruise.

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 6: People are quick to make fun of Tom Cruise, but

53
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 6: you have to admit that Ethan Hunt and the mission

54
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 6: Impossible great movies are some of the best action movie I.

55
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: Think Tom Cruise is a brilliant actor. You rarely see

56
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: him turning a dud movie. You know, he's done some

57
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: great movies. The Michaelman movie Collateral with him and Jamie

58
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: Fawks is a great movie. Tom Cruise is a great actor,

59
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: and you're right, Mission Impossible gets overlooked. That last one,

60
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: fall Out was in the best movie of the year,

61
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: and you know the epic Yeah, I love that, So no,

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: Ethan Hunt I think definitely has to go up there. Also,

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: if you really were in a I was about to

64
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: say in a pickle, I don't think you can use

65
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: that phrase when you talk about action movies.

66
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 6: When you're flying a helicopter into the side of the mountain, this.

67
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Is a pickle. It's like for a car here, did

68
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: you help me out? I've had a bit of a

69
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: set to mister Wick or Ethan Hunt. If you weren't

70
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: a bit of a pickle, you'd call Tom Cruise because

71
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: that man, I mean, he does his own stunts. Have

72
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: you seen the actual footage of him? There's one way.

73
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 6: Hanging off the side of a plane.

74
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I literally almost get a panic attack watching that

75
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: and you can hear his microphone feet where you know

76
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: he's so like you know, he's so intense. He's if

77
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: you don't know, Tom Cruise does his own stunts in

78
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 2: Mission Impossible, and they are really extreme stunts. There's one

79
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: where it's a great, big airplane, a huge army airplane

80
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: taking off and he's hanging on to the side of it,

81
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: and obviously he's worth a couple of bob He does

82
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: it himself, hanging on to the side of a plane

83
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: on the outside as it takes up. You just hear

84
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: and go, I'm really scared, but you can say that,

85
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: but you're still gonna hang on to the side of

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: a plane. It's an amazing halfway through. No turn or

87
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: whatever you need to do, get this thing down. I'm

88
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise. I'm in a bit of a pickle myself now.

89
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,520

Speaker 2: It's me who will stop it?

100
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 5: Nothing to protect her son.

101
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: Because when you describe terminator to people, you don't talk

102
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: about I need to close a motorbike? Do you go?

108
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 5: Forsake as well those moms.

109
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,760

00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: of the second movie where she's got the truncheon and

111
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,200

Speaker 1: cooard boxes.

144
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think Tom Cruise had a padded matt

145
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: if he fell off the son of that eerrplayer, I'm sure.

146
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: But welcome to the show and Mount Rushmore. Who has

147
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: to go up there?

148
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: Mate? Has to be Mick Dundee.

149
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: Do you know what I've got here? All the various

150
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: sound effects. I tried to second guess which way people

151
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: would go from all the different sort of you know,

152
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: action heroes. I haven't got anything from Crocodile and Dundee.

153
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you now hit pitch it to us?

154
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: Then why Mick Dundee?

155
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you can think of Buffalo just using his

156
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: hand and twisted it around. He's got a good I

157
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: guess a lot of mates that can back him up,
