<v Speaker 1>Cinematic Flashback podcast. This is kind of your baby, Chuck.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, We're I'm hoping this whole thing works out.
<v Speaker 5>If it does, it's going to be a technological Christmas
<v Speaker 5>gift to all of us.
<v Speaker 6>So yes, let's let's give this a try.
<v Speaker 1>I tell you one thing. I bought the Diehard DVD
<v Speaker 1>about twenty years ago, specifically because I wanted to hear
<v Speaker 1>the John McTiernan audio commentary. Oh yeah, and it sucked.
<v Speaker 1>Like I was so excited to hear what he had
<v Speaker 1>to say, and it was all technical crap. It was
<v Speaker 1>stuff like I wanted behind the scenes stories, I wanted anecdotes,
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff, and it was just technical crap that
<v Speaker 1>I could care less about.
<v Speaker 5>No juicy bits. Well I think tonight we'll be giving
<v Speaker 5>all the juicy bits.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, how about that? So if you want to watch
<v Speaker 1>die Hard with us and sink your DVD, Diehard is
<v Speaker 1>actually on TV right now. I don't know how you're
<v Speaker 1>going to keep up with the commercials or whatever, but
<v Speaker 1>if you will push play here in about ten seconds,
<v Speaker 1>I'll start the countdown, and when I say hit play,
<v Speaker 1>hit play, and then you can watch die Hard with
<v Speaker 1>the five of us and enjoy our commentary as you
<v Speaker 1>watch die Hard. All right, so let's do the countdown
<v Speaker 1>ten nine eight seven, six, five four three two one play.
<v Speaker 4>Oh, we're recording.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I'm going.
<v Speaker 1>To record this and then we're going to create this
<v Speaker 1>as like a like an audio commentary for whoever wants
<v Speaker 1>to watch Die Hard.
<v Speaker 4>You know, are you okay? You look like you're in
<v Speaker 4>bed sick?
<v Speaker 2>That is exactly correct.
<v Speaker 7>I have.
<v Speaker 2>I have been really sick for the last two days. No,
<v Speaker 2>I was telling them earlier. If you see me randomly
<v Speaker 2>bolt out of this room at different points in the movie,
<v Speaker 2>you're better off not asking any questions.
<v Speaker 1>Every time I see this logo, it makes me think
<v Speaker 1>of Star Wars and music gets me fired.
<v Speaker 3>Up absolutely a long time ago.
<v Speaker 4>Mm hmmm, in a decade.
<v Speaker 8>Let's go far far away.
<v Speaker 1>John McTiernan planes, trains, and automobiles.
<v Speaker 4>I just had a plane land, is that right?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>This with your toes.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we're gonna be okay.
<v Speaker 6>Okay, we didn't get past this last time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>If it looks like your connection to the server isn't
<v Speaker 3>fast enough to play this, switch quality, Yes, I will
<v Speaker 3>switch quality. That's fine. Switch quality.
<v Speaker 2>Loose with hair.
<v Speaker 6>Whiskey.
<v Speaker 4>This with your toes, We've all tried that, right, Yeah, socks.
<v Speaker 6>Off on the plane and wave from.
<v Speaker 2>Brown can prop them up on the seat in front
<v Speaker 2>of you.
<v Speaker 6>My dogs are barking.
<v Speaker 1>By the way that prop Bretta that he's carrying around. Yep,
<v Speaker 1>Dame Bretta from the Least Weapon movies.
<v Speaker 2>So, Jason, there are a lot of connections between Diehard
<v Speaker 2>and lethal weapons.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there are, and there's a podcast that covers all those.
<v Speaker 1>You should totally go listen to. Three parter.
<v Speaker 4>Actually, do we have a credit on the female coming up?
<v Speaker 2>Do we know?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's a yes credit in the movie. She is
<v Speaker 1>a Playboy playmate. What we had a I can't remember
<v Speaker 1>on that podcast. It was like, name the there's like
<v Speaker 1>four Playboy playmates in the in this movie. I'm trying
<v Speaker 1>to think.
<v Speaker 4>I can guess another one, probably, well.
<v Speaker 1>One was on the wall like the centerfold as he
<v Speaker 1>was he's carrols. Yeah, and then I think the you
<v Speaker 1>can kind of a boom shot early. I think maybe
<v Speaker 1>she was one, and.
<v Speaker 4>Then the girl that's the one I was gonna guess.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well when they when they run into somebody in
<v Speaker 2>the office doing it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Has anybody ever been out to La to see
<v Speaker 1>the Fox Tower or anything? No?
<v Speaker 2>No, I have not.
<v Speaker 1>I follow a Facebook page where oh crap, I'm buffering.
<v Speaker 1>I follow a Facebook page where somebody went out there
<v Speaker 1>was in the parking lot. It was taking pictures and
<v Speaker 1>security came out and told him to leave and stop
<v Speaker 1>taking pictures.
<v Speaker 4>Wow, I'm getting a feedback loop again.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Mine just paused the buffer, but I didn't seem
<v Speaker 2>to lose much.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you still have me talking, I.
<v Speaker 1>Mean, yeah, yeah, just cut the in the hallway.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 6>Good that in back Door Santa.
<v Speaker 3>Clans Clans call it.

<v Speaker 2>a year ago.
<v Speaker 3>Jason, did you put post that that?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was that was pretty good. I didn't realize
<v Speaker 3>I didn't realize that was him either.
<v Speaker 1>The meme of him and Blues Brothers changed from a
<v Speaker 1>life of crime to limitar driver and became a.
<v Speaker 2>Hero with good musical taste.
<v Speaker 1>Why bother the pack?
<v Speaker 2>Very sure, Here we go, Here we go, pop it in.
<v Speaker 1>Here you go, Dave, it's for you.
<v Speaker 3>That this Uh, this was on that that Christmas album
<v Speaker 3>the Red One with the.
<v Speaker 1>Gold had like Santa Baby by Madonna I think on.
<v Speaker 3>Air was on the Merry Christmas Baby by Bruce. I
<v Speaker 3>saw saying uh, I saw saying Mommy kissing Santa Claus
<v Speaker 3>with John Cougar mellon camp. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, screenwriter John Rah Stephen Desusa has interacted
<v Speaker 1>with us on Twitter occasionally. It's pretty cool, awesome. It's
<v Speaker 1>very minor, but still a big thrill for us.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely is our.
<v Speaker 1>Guy on the greatest what's that now?
<v Speaker 5>I was just gonna say fake John Cleae liked one
<v Speaker 5>of my posts the other day. I was excited for
<v Speaker 5>two seconds until I saw the only had three hundred followers.
<v Speaker 1>Our guy is the greatest limo driver of all time.
<v Speaker 1>He puts up with John's bad attitude and then hangs
<v Speaker 1>out for like hours to.
<v Speaker 2>See you get me losing the giant peddy bear and
<v Speaker 2>the run to him, See what else do you need?
<v Speaker 1>Boss thinks he's on his way to Vegas, so he's.
<v Speaker 6>Getting paid either way.
<v Speaker 4>With his girlfriend.
<v Speaker 8>Right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Then you got me thinking, who are some other
<v Speaker 3>famous limo drivers that we've seen either in screen, movie
<v Speaker 3>or TV. Now I got to think about that.
<v Speaker 2>Look at the fancy touch screen.
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you. I'll give you a pretty good limo driver. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>Lloyd Christmas.
<v Speaker 2>Whenever, there you go.
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, whatever, you know, this technology is dazzling, but
<v Speaker 1>this is how you order it at Army's now. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>it's just like nothing.
<v Speaker 4>That screens were a big thing back in nineteen eighty eight,
<v Speaker 4>right or eighty seven.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I like how he had to go through this whole
<v Speaker 1>rigamarole to fight where she.
<v Speaker 4>Actually I've always thought though, why the only people who
<v Speaker 4>were here.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's it's the party on the thirty foot. They're
<v Speaker 1>the one's ability. Well, thanks a lot, buddy.
<v Speaker 2>That dude already looks suspicious.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly.
<v Speaker 1>I've always said that this is a perfect movie. But
<v Speaker 1>that dude right there is involved in one of the small,
<v Speaker 1>very small glitches in this movie.
<v Speaker 2>What's that?
<v Speaker 1>Well, when he gets shot, Alexander Gudinov comes around the
<v Speaker 1>corner and he's already like in like shot pose.
<v Speaker 2>Goes off.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's ready for.
<v Speaker 4>This black ban grenade, right, and then it's.
<v Speaker 1>Like yep, yeah yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So he comes off the airplane, goes straight to the
<v Speaker 2>corporate office party.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which is on Christmas Eve, which kind of is
<v Speaker 1>kind of inconsiderate, I think for a company to do.
<v Speaker 5>But you know whatever, This is why it's a Christmas
<v Speaker 5>movie because John is trying to get home for Christmas.
<v Speaker 6>He's trying to get to his wife.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, and it's Christmas Eve.
<v Speaker 6>All those stories when you're trying to get home, it's
<v Speaker 6>always on Christmas Eve.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if this was like December fifteenth, I would agree
<v Speaker 5>it's not a Christmas movie.
<v Speaker 4>I like how he just ditches the punch right away.
<v Speaker 4>He's like suck.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there you go. There's the other one of the
<v Speaker 1>other babes. Mh That guy is now famous for that
<v Speaker 1>one thing right there. That dude is somewhere going. I
<v Speaker 1>was the one who kiss John McLean and Diehard. Uh, mister,
<v Speaker 1>let's doing cocaine in Holly's office. That's great, willas policeman
<v Speaker 1>husband m m hm. That backdrop has always kind of
<v Speaker 1>bothered me too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's pretty obvious. Yeah, I don't know what about
<v Speaker 2>it is.
<v Speaker 3>Because it looks like the sun is going down, But
<v Speaker 3>is it clearly at night at this point. I'm trying
<v Speaker 3>to you know, like it seems like it's dusk, you know,
<v Speaker 3>it seems like it should be.
<v Speaker 5>There's gonna be actually later, there's gonna be a shot
<v Speaker 5>here when the trucks are arriving right yeah.
<v Speaker 13>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And in California, witness somebody setting over the ocean
<v Speaker 2>and not behind the mountains. I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the stars are messed up.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah again, going back, they walk and the uh and
<v Speaker 3>he's doing blow on her on her desk, and the
<v Speaker 3>big boss is there and he doesn't even he doesn't,
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't say, like, what are you doing over there?
<v Speaker 3>Like her office?
<v Speaker 1>All for breakfast? Man?
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's it.
<v Speaker 4>Cocaine he's bringing in. Uh.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so it is. The sun is going down, so
<v Speaker 3>I could the sky is matching it.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, all right, y'all help me track this white
<v Speaker 2>tank top. Okay, because at some point it turns solid
<v Speaker 2>green and I never noticed the change.
<v Speaker 1>It's when it gets out of the the the vent
<v Speaker 1>like that.
<v Speaker 2>He goes into the vent white and he comes out there. Yep, yep,
<v Speaker 2>all right, I'll try to catch it this time and
<v Speaker 2>remember it turning green. Well, basically, it was just so
<v Speaker 2>dirty on sweat stain, it looks like a completely different color.
<v Speaker 6>True fact, Avian spelled backwards is naive.
<v Speaker 1>Dropping knowledge.
<v Speaker 6>You only get these tasty bits here.
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you come stay with me?
<v Speaker 4>A little tuft of chest hair always bothered me too,
<v Speaker 4>Why not just cut that off? For trimmidt or.
<v Speaker 1>It's a little mushroom cloud right there, yes.
<v Speaker 2>Or add to it before this before manscaping, that's right,
<v Speaker 2>that's right, working for his chest.
<v Speaker 6>Was he wearing a two pee in this or we see.
<v Speaker 4>Probably had a little bit of hair left?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, I think we still had some hair going here.
<v Speaker 8>He was.
<v Speaker 2>Still just entirely known for before this movie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, man, moodlighting was brilliant.
<v Speaker 3>I just want to interrupt again here what exactly does
<v Speaker 3>Holly do for this company? Like? How high up is she? Then?
<v Speaker 2>I want what does the company do?
<v Speaker 3>The reason why I'm saying that is we are five minutes,
<v Speaker 3>three minutes into seeing her move her office, which has
<v Speaker 3>a private bathroom, so she's got to be pretty high
<v Speaker 3>up there, and already we have seen one of her
<v Speaker 3>coworkers doing blow on her desk, and then another two
<v Speaker 3>people come in ready to go have sex on her desk,
<v Speaker 3>Like wouldn't you think somebody like would you do either
<v Speaker 3>of those two things with someone who is like a
<v Speaker 3>super high up in your company? Like, Hey, let's I'm
<v Speaker 3>going to go do blow. I'm going to go on
<v Speaker 3>Holly's office Like like, hey, you know, whatever you want
<v Speaker 3>to do, Holly's fine with it. She's from new She's
<v Speaker 3>seen it all. Just go just go in there. Just
<v Speaker 3>don't let her husband.
<v Speaker 1>Cop see, she's only been there six months too, she.
<v Speaker 2>Did, we'd have to rewind. But her her dump poddle
<v Speaker 2>was on her off door.
<v Speaker 3>But again, just.
<v Speaker 5>According to the hard Wiki, Holly Gennaro began her career
<v Speaker 5>as a real estate agent for the Nakatumi Corporation, where
<v Speaker 5>she had a flourishing career rising through the ranks.
<v Speaker 1>That explains it all, right there everything.
<v Speaker 2>It's totally normal for a moving par to show up
<v Speaker 2>at my Christmas Eve. Nothing to worry about.
<v Speaker 1>I hope he makes these guys go through the touch
<v Speaker 1>screen process.
<v Speaker 4>He doesn't, he doesn't get a chance.
<v Speaker 6>Not suspicious at all. This is the magic truck, isn't it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so Susan talks about this when they open and
<v Speaker 1>everybody walks out. No ambulance in there. Two points. I've
<v Speaker 1>always kind of enjoyed the Showtime Lakers reference there. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>so this truck right here. Later we see an ambulance
<v Speaker 1>climb out the back of it, but it was too
<v Speaker 1>far down the line when they realized, oh crap, what
<v Speaker 1>are we going to do? And they just said, well,
<v Speaker 1>nobody will notice.
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, here'll never be technology in the future where you
<v Speaker 3>can just pause it and look framed by Frank. That'll never.
<v Speaker 1>Ready, he's already in the pose.
<v Speaker 2>So I like heist movies got him. I like heist
<v Speaker 2>movies for how the heroes can always defeat all the
<v Speaker 2>security measures, and uh, in this time, we're seeing the
<v Speaker 2>bad guys do the same thing. So there's a there's
<v Speaker 2>a heightst movie pilled this, you know, watching the bad
<v Speaker 2>guys do the thing.
<v Speaker 1>Definitely, Definitely so.
<v Speaker 5>Beethoven's Oh the Joy is featured not only in die Hard,
<v Speaker 5>but also in a clockwork Orange Dead Poet Society John Wick,
<v Speaker 5>and my favorite, the O to Joy Muppet music video.
<v Speaker 2>I love that That last one is excellent, but I
<v Speaker 2>will I will take the die Hard use of it.
<v Speaker 2>I think that's my first pick.
<v Speaker 1>Locked those escalators so nobody gets away.
<v Speaker 6>If only they locked the building down prior to them.
<v Speaker 4>Coming find a German it expert to join them in
<v Speaker 4>their team. They had to grab an American guy for that, curious.
<v Speaker 4>I like how German and he's the only Blackhamericas, the
<v Speaker 4>black American on there.
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, and plus they had no plan he's like,
<v Speaker 1>he tells him, I can get through the first six
<v Speaker 1>codes or whatever, but I can't do the seventh one. Like, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>don't worry, we got it. Yeah, Huey Lewis.
<v Speaker 2>Huey Lewis at the security desk.
<v Speaker 1>Yep.
<v Speaker 3>So do you think Allan Rickman was type cast as
<v Speaker 3>a Christmas movie specialist? Which is being in this movie
<v Speaker 3>being a Christmas movie and why it was what loved
<v Speaker 3>actually or something like that? Did they say, Hey, we
<v Speaker 3>need to get a guy from a traditional Christmas movie
<v Speaker 3>like that to play a part in a new Christmas movie.
<v Speaker 3>I think that's another argument that you see he was
<v Speaker 3>he's been type cast, is that I think it's.
<v Speaker 2>Just a I mean, you know, I like the.
<v Speaker 5>Little Winter Underland, that that that that that.
<v Speaker 6>Quote and that music.
<v Speaker 1>It's very this movie. All of this movie is smart.
<v Speaker 1>Very Here's the one thing I'd never truly understood. He's
<v Speaker 1>doing his thing. Carl comes right behind him, and they're brothers,
<v Speaker 1>we know that, But he's chainsawing it and like, what
<v Speaker 1>what would have happened if he didn't clip those wires?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, good question.
<v Speaker 1>I've never really understood that. So they sweet your toes.
<v Speaker 6>They're still playing out the joy.
<v Speaker 1>I love that they have that picture that's on her
<v Speaker 1>desk and his wallet.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's a good touch.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, what's so what's he doing.
<v Speaker 4>Here on the phone line? A little bit of a
<v Speaker 4>hottie and uh Live for or die Hard?
<v Speaker 1>Lucy Lucy McLean? Yeah that movie is.
<v Speaker 4>I like that one better, the one than the one
<v Speaker 4>with his son. What's that one called? I can't remember?
<v Speaker 1>Uh, died too, died of a vengeance, going to Ukraine
<v Speaker 1>and Live for or die Hard?
<v Speaker 3>The last die Hard.
<v Speaker 1>Rise of di.
<v Speaker 3>Return, A little.
<v Speaker 8>Bit the.
<v Speaker 2>W close something whatever, Yeah, something would happen here.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what it would. It may be have
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, trips, trip something to call the police
<v Speaker 3>or you know that. I don't know, but it just
<v Speaker 3>whatever he's whatever he's cut. You're right, whatever he's cutting,
<v Speaker 3>it's going to break that as well.
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it would have zapped his brother really bad and
<v Speaker 4>just like shocked him.
<v Speaker 3>That would have been funny.
<v Speaker 1>Such a cool shot right there, and here we go, yeah, barefoot.
<v Speaker 1>I love that they start off with, you know, the intimidating,
<v Speaker 1>just start right off with bullets. You know, I'm reading
<v Speaker 1>the book right now. It's called nobody Lives Forever or
<v Speaker 1>nothing Lasts forever or something like that.
<v Speaker 3>There we go, who's that Holly's office?
<v Speaker 1>Well, probably that girl got that part because Joel Silver
<v Speaker 1>wanted to uh.
<v Speaker 2>Wanted to audition her.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anyway, the book, it makes a big deal. He
<v Speaker 1>grabs his gun not only because he needs it, but
<v Speaker 1>he's worried that if he he leaves it behind, they'll
<v Speaker 1>find it and then come the building for him.
<v Speaker 2>Well, he left the whole from behind. I think I
<v Speaker 2>thought I saw him.
<v Speaker 6>Yea, his voice is cracking.
<v Speaker 2>I immediately believe Bruce Willis as an action here, you
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? Like this, we have to keep him.
<v Speaker 2>We're used to it now, but at the time this
<v Speaker 2>was yeah, completely new for him. But like already with
<v Speaker 2>this scene, it's like I'm already bought in, I'm already
<v Speaker 2>believing it.
<v Speaker 1>Yep. You can believe him in the fist fight and
<v Speaker 1>in the stuff. But he's also he's got an everyman quality.
<v Speaker 1>He's just a guy caught in a weird situation.
<v Speaker 4>You know, why are we there? Could have done?
<v Speaker 6>It was criminally underused.
<v Speaker 1>Alan Rickman's screen debut.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean where did he come from? I mean
<v Speaker 2>what a debut kidding, I mean, like a major role,
<v Speaker 2>completely owning every scene.
<v Speaker 1>One of the great villains of movie history.
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming he must have been a stage veteran at
<v Speaker 2>this point. He had to have earn his top somewhere.
<v Speaker 1>They saw him in a play. I think you saw
<v Speaker 1>him in Dangerous Liaisons as a stage actor, and Alexander
<v Speaker 1>Alexander Goodna was a ballet dancer, and they thought, well,
<v Speaker 1>athletic enough to look good in the fight scenes.
<v Speaker 6>Just to put it in.
<v Speaker 2>Some respect to Al long back there. We haven't even
<v Speaker 2>shouted out along yet.
<v Speaker 6>It's coming. So Rickland was part of the Royal Shakespeare Company,
<v Speaker 6>so he was. He was a good.
<v Speaker 2>Actor in like at the top level of British theater.
<v Speaker 2>Singer saying, yes.
<v Speaker 1>He knows everything about him except what he looks like.
<v Speaker 4>Who not looks mean too? I mean for about I answer,
<v Speaker 4>he looks like a right John Susan. I have to myself.
<v Speaker 1>Christmas music get stuck in your head.
<v Speaker 13>Oh good.
<v Speaker 7>M h.
<v Speaker 1>Arafat my sister's there, little eighties nugget there.
<v Speaker 2>I think the movie's doing work here to kind of
<v Speaker 2>map the building out for us before things really take all,
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're getting. We're getting the layout here.
<v Speaker 1>It's so skillful. It keeps the tension, ratchet it up
<v Speaker 1>while it's given you the exposition.
<v Speaker 4>You know, benefits of a classical education.
<v Speaker 1>I always wanted to know about their project in the Philippines.
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm. It doesn't look like much, just you know,
<v Speaker 1>highway or something.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a little park in it in between.
<v Speaker 1>It looks great. I don't know what his problem is Indonesia.
<v Speaker 1>There you go with the article of Forbes k I
<v Speaker 1>listened to an interview with the SUSA two when they
<v Speaker 1>rode in the part where John and Hans meet. They
<v Speaker 1>were worried about this scene because John had would have
<v Speaker 1>seen him, but it was on the schedule for the
<v Speaker 1>next day, and so they moved it in such a
<v Speaker 1>way where John does not see Hans's face during this
<v Speaker 1>shot right here.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I see, I see what you're saying. They had
<v Speaker 2>to reblock how they shot this scene. Well, so the
<v Speaker 2>so the other scene would work.
<v Speaker 1>They were going to add that scene where they meet,
<v Speaker 1>but they were the writers were like, they can't do
<v Speaker 1>that because he's already seen his face. And they're like, well,
<v Speaker 1>look at the schedule, when do we shoot that? And
<v Speaker 1>they're like tomorrow. Oh and so they blocked. They changed
<v Speaker 1>the blocking the next day for this scene, for this scene.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, that's cool.
<v Speaker 1>There's a little tidbit that he says when actually when
<v Speaker 1>they're looking at John, Hans says something like it's this
<v Speaker 1>is like one week's worth of operating expenses. It Basically
<v Speaker 1>he says, it's this is nothing. Your six hundred and
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars is not that much. Like right here,
<v Speaker 1>I think.
<v Speaker 4>I like how THEO and Carl will have a little
<v Speaker 4>bet going as to whether or not he gets shot
<v Speaker 4>or not. Yeh box or something after the filter.
<v Speaker 1>The code please.
<v Speaker 7>The card.
<v Speaker 8>Hide and there's no reason m hm.
<v Speaker 2>So you can cut the tension with a knife, right.
<v Speaker 2>The fact that he's so calm makes it that much worse.
<v Speaker 13>Huh not, be it a fool.
<v Speaker 3>You can. I mean, it looks like the actors right
<v Speaker 3>there sweat. It's really good. H O.
<v Speaker 1>Crap boom brains.
<v Speaker 2>M okay, now get four from.
<v Speaker 14>Mm hmm.
<v Speaker 3>And again you know that that's setting these guys is
<v Speaker 3>they're not messing with anybody. You know, this whole we're
<v Speaker 3>going to play a game which is like this is
<v Speaker 3>the top guy, give me the give me the information
<v Speaker 3>I need. You're not going to give it to me. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>that would have made it easy for us. Right, you
<v Speaker 3>had your shot, You're done. So now it's like everybody
<v Speaker 3>else moving down. It's like you give me what I
<v Speaker 3>need or you suffer the same consequence, you know.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, and what you know, you get some.
<v Speaker 2>Humored you know, right, you gotta have our goll have
<v Speaker 2>y'all ever worked out every terrorist name? Get all?
<v Speaker 1>No, No, Tony and Marco and yeah, Carl Han, Tony,
<v Speaker 1>Marcos Calm, No, there you go.
<v Speaker 5>It's like the number one Asian bad guy and.
<v Speaker 2>The ultimate eighties Henchman.
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, so they already killed Takagi and now they're
<v Speaker 1>working out the details of how the plan.
<v Speaker 8>Is gonna work.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wouldn't that be something you worked out beforehand?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 5>You would think for such a slick operation, they let
<v Speaker 5>that one detail out.
<v Speaker 3>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>I love it. It's part of the fun when they
<v Speaker 1>open the vault, you know. Still, yeah, he does have
<v Speaker 1>to move the story along quite a little bit by
<v Speaker 1>talking to himself. I think Bruce Willis does a good
<v Speaker 1>job of pulling it off. It seems legit natural.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is important to bring uh ring Al in later.
<v Speaker 15>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, quick trivia for you guys. If you
<v Speaker 1>listen to my podcast, you know this, But you know
<v Speaker 1>who the who wrote Silent Night, the song Silent Night.
<v Speaker 1>The name of the guy I don't remember. Guy's name
<v Speaker 1>is Franz Gruber.
<v Speaker 8>True story.
<v Speaker 4>Wow, I was going about to guess Hans ger.
<v Speaker 1>Close Franz, you know Hans and Franz.
<v Speaker 6>But day I had to pump you up.
<v Speaker 8>Proof.
<v Speaker 1>Oh this guy and then the gray sweatpants, you know, yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, everyone else is in suits. He's in a grace.
<v Speaker 1>He was on his way to the y when he
<v Speaker 1>got the call.
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's tonight.
<v Speaker 4>Christmas Eve, Come on.
<v Speaker 8>God.
<v Speaker 1>Got the gray sweatpants and the Jeffrey Dahmer glasses. Really Also,
<v Speaker 1>if he's got the most important backpack in the whole place,
<v Speaker 1>maybe he should just leave it with Hans when you
<v Speaker 1>go chase the guy around the building.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the glasses are not a great look.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, very eighties.
<v Speaker 1>I think he was in a view to a kill.
<v Speaker 1>I think he was a kind of a bond henchman.
<v Speaker 13>There are rules.
<v Speaker 4>Erase that number two in case you guys.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah looking man, Yeah, pretty good shot. Of the stump man. Here,
<v Speaker 1>fuller head of hair.
<v Speaker 16>I think, yeah, you know what, I'll take it, give
<v Speaker 16>me real stumps doing real things.
<v Speaker 2>Still got the white the still like I'm so I'm
<v Speaker 2>backing that blood. But that is one of the things
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoyed about the movie is like he degrades,
<v Speaker 2>like you see, they all had to shoot this in
<v Speaker 2>sequence because like, you know, the stuff that happens to him,
<v Speaker 2>like he bears that mark for the rest of the movie,
<v Speaker 2>and he just builds up.
<v Speaker 6>The continuity. Person learn their keep on this.
<v Speaker 1>One red castle. That was the magic the magic password
<v Speaker 1>right there.
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, not only do you get kind of
<v Speaker 2>this inverted ice movie, but now it's also a like
<v Speaker 2>a like a gorilla warfighter, grill attactic kind of rainbow movie.
<v Speaker 2>One man against an army.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, don't forget uh Christmas.
<v Speaker 10>Man.
<v Speaker 2>That's a Chris agreed.
<v Speaker 1>Where does it keep it?
<v Speaker 13>Walling?
<v Speaker 1>The gray sweat answers, h M.
<v Speaker 4>Funny that will come back to haunt him, not taking
<v Speaker 4>issues with him.
<v Speaker 1>Say I ever tried this Selby? I remember at ou
<v Speaker 1>when we were there that uh, some students got in
<v Speaker 1>trouble for elevator surfing.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I do remember that kad you get
<v Speaker 4>opened up?
<v Speaker 1>Right? H I love how he's eating the buffet while he's.
<v Speaker 8>Them.
<v Speaker 1>These shrimp cocktails are really good.
<v Speaker 17>Okay, h huh.
<v Speaker 4>Nothing the chance except for the dead guy O.
<v Speaker 1>People are running up.
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, funny can people watch this and conclude that it's
<v Speaker 18>not a Christmas movie?
<v Speaker 1>I have a T shirt that has those exactly like
<v Speaker 1>it's spelled out the same way it says, now I
<v Speaker 1>have a machine gun. Ho ho ho. He's like, you
<v Speaker 1>can't wear that? Ye who will think you're nuts? So
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, it's funny, it's a joke.
<v Speaker 4>Is it a gray sweatshirt?
<v Speaker 1>It's a gray T shirt? Okay, movie's so smart too,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just all this brilliant.
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't know what he's gonna do with that information yet,
<v Speaker 2>but he's he's tracking it. Ye all right. Sure it's
<v Speaker 2>getting a little dirty.
<v Speaker 1>So far it's mostly just blood.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's starting to get a little gray.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>You guys know that most elevators that are three stories
<v Speaker 4>or less are powered by hydraulics instead of the polleye.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, did not know that?
<v Speaker 1>Elevator expert Dale Selby.
<v Speaker 6>Ladies and Gentlemen.
<v Speaker 1>I believe that is miss December nineteen eighty seven. We
<v Speaker 1>looked that up a while back.
<v Speaker 9>But oh, so who what's the name of the brother
<v Speaker 9>who's upset?
<v Speaker 2>Is that clause Carl? That's Carl.
<v Speaker 8>Mhm's job.
<v Speaker 1>Jumped three thousand miles away. Correction, That playmate is November
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen eighty seven.
<v Speaker 13>There you go.
<v Speaker 2>Now that looks more real to me.
<v Speaker 1>That looks yeah, I mean scary right.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the roof go.
<v Speaker 2>Mh. I'd like to order a pizza.
<v Speaker 1>Such a great line when I watched I watched the
<v Speaker 1>trailer right before we did this, and uh, all these
<v Speaker 1>great lines they had to edit down.
<v Speaker 10>Mhm h.
<v Speaker 14>M.
<v Speaker 6>Look that foreshadow o.
<v Speaker 1>H Christmas Tree. Yes, my man l al Pale.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, now we've we've connected him to Ghostbusters and Family
<v Speaker 2>Matters yep. Like it's the same character.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I love it. I think you can make the
<v Speaker 1>same case with theo U as one of the guys
<v Speaker 1>who you know was in Top Gun, got mad at
<v Speaker 1>Maverick put the military started life of Crime. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>What was the name of Hollywood sun Rise?
<v Speaker 1>Uh, Sunrise Sunrise? I think it was Sunrise ableagu in thirty.
<v Speaker 4>Parls Rifle was seventy to help contrast the European weapons
<v Speaker 4>with the L A. P. D's American fire.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there you go.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, how far away is he? You know, he's
<v Speaker 3>close enough. I mean it's a huge building, like they're
<v Speaker 3>shooting on the top of the building. Like, how far away?
<v Speaker 3>At some point there's a little bit of a perimeter. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I mean is he a mile away? I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. By the way, Uh, his character in
<v Speaker 1>Top Gun is sundown, not sunrise, my bad sun down.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, the gun Carl uses to shoot. The original security
<v Speaker 4>guard was a Walter pp K, which is also, of course,
<v Speaker 4>the James Bonds choice.
<v Speaker 19>The Q branch insisted, yep, Oh, they do such a
<v Speaker 19>good job of just ratcheting up tension.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, yes, I think.
<v Speaker 6>This is uh, this is the leap right coming up.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is the.
<v Speaker 6>Only part that I kind of.
<v Speaker 2>Go, yes, I'm with you. It's the one. It's the
<v Speaker 2>one thing in the whole movie that I just can't
<v Speaker 2>quite mind.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, they wrote the stunt guy actually slipped
<v Speaker 1>and they wrote that into the scene.
<v Speaker 2>Slipped it scene.
<v Speaker 1>When they were filming it, the guy was reaching for
<v Speaker 1>the for the you know, open window or whatever, and
<v Speaker 1>he slipped and he fell all the way down to
<v Speaker 1>like the air matt. But they liked the way it
<v Speaker 1>looked and so they kind of expanded it a little bit.
<v Speaker 1>So Okay, you got bullets and you got heights.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and just I mean just the fact that you're
<v Speaker 2>barefoot out of its psychologically, you know, make it tougher
<v Speaker 2>for you. You'll just feel weaker, more vulnerable.
<v Speaker 4>When you got to figure. His palms are sweaty too,
<v Speaker 4>So he's trying to grab a hold of this tiny
<v Speaker 4>little air duct as he's falling.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right by his fingertips.
<v Speaker 2>Right, So you're saying the first half of this when
<v Speaker 2>he follows, that was a real like an unplanned slip
<v Speaker 2>by the stunt man. And then they just used it
<v Speaker 2>and they make up a shot of him grabbing the
<v Speaker 2>legs one right, he misses the first.
<v Speaker 1>The stunt man, Yeah, I think was trying to grab
<v Speaker 1>the first window and slipped and fell and they're like,
<v Speaker 1>oh that looks cool. H Still not a great plan.
<v Speaker 6>M just realize that I'm Matte painting.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh, your feet would be so sweaty and.
<v Speaker 6>His fingers would be denuded.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think see that's the part I just don't
<v Speaker 2>mind because you're you would at best, you would rip
<v Speaker 2>your your shoulders out of their sockets.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, because.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, tank top was white right there, all right,
<v Speaker 1>wasn't see I wasn't looking.
<v Speaker 2>All right.
<v Speaker 3>Now that line that he says, was that just him
<v Speaker 3>or was that written? Do you know if that was
<v Speaker 3>written into the.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it feels like it can be a Bruce willis
<v Speaker 2>him problem.
<v Speaker 1>I do know that he and Stephen Desusan did kind
<v Speaker 1>of put their minds together to come up with lines together.
<v Speaker 1>I know the Roy Rogers line was a combination. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>this is such a different movie than the Rambo and
<v Speaker 1>the Schwarzenegger stuff that we got in the eighties. And
<v Speaker 1>he's very vulnerable, the crap beat out of him. He's scared,
<v Speaker 1>he's lonely. You know, he's hurting, as I say, But.
<v Speaker 2>Also he's he's applying intelligence, yeah to his tactics.
<v Speaker 6>That call hadn't come in.
<v Speaker 1>Pullet zi, pullet zi. Okay, keep an eye on the
<v Speaker 1>tank top, Dave, here's your here's your big green switch.
<v Speaker 2>Okay.
<v Speaker 5>Was that the first air duct in oh? Yeah, totally green?
<v Speaker 5>Is this the first air duct? In movie history where
<v Speaker 5>it's actually like somewhat the size of an air duct
<v Speaker 5>and not this.
<v Speaker 1>Huge like where they can run.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I can't believe they. I have never noticed that before,
<v Speaker 4>going from white to green. That's that's a pretty big continuity.
<v Speaker 2>It is.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I just figured it was at some point he got.
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it just got dirty dirty.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I wish I wish the change had been more gradual. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>because every time I watch it, I feel like it
<v Speaker 2>was gradual and I missed it.
<v Speaker 6>Well, I've never noticed it until now, So thanks Dave.
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, it's like next time I watched this with my
<v Speaker 20>family and was like, watch right here, different color shirt,
<v Speaker 20>every Chris.
<v Speaker 3>Every Christmas movie. It's a Christmas miracle.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, this time last year, they showed Diehard
<v Speaker 1>in the theaters for its thirty fifth anniversary, and I
<v Speaker 1>called some family members. I was my sister. I was
<v Speaker 1>the one I was dragging her to see this, and
<v Speaker 1>UH brought my nephew, and then my mom jumped in,
<v Speaker 1>then my aunt and uncle jumped in, and then my
<v Speaker 1>boys and their girlfriends. We had like I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>fifteen or twenty people go see this in the theater,
<v Speaker 1>and we just remember last.
<v Speaker 4>I think I remember your fast on that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's awesome. I think Huey Lewis is better here
<v Speaker 2>than he wasn't back to the future.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here you go Christmas Eve, and he's watching Notre
<v Speaker 1>Dame and USC play. I don't think so.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've always wondered about that too.
<v Speaker 3>Kay, we'll google it this nineteen eighty and we know
<v Speaker 3>for sure they're not playing it Christmas. But yeah, who did?
<v Speaker 3>Was there a college football game Christmas Eve? It has
<v Speaker 3>to be a game, Yeah, a bowl, a bowl, but
<v Speaker 3>I would think, well, not day usually played in the
<v Speaker 3>regular during the season. They usually playing the season.
<v Speaker 2>And like how casual he is there. I'm not even
<v Speaker 2>bothering to look at the cop. But as soon as
<v Speaker 2>as soon as I walks away, he gives it a
<v Speaker 2>sinister look.
<v Speaker 1>Don't shoot.
<v Speaker 3>Now, at least in that shot, like he's he's dirty
<v Speaker 3>and dusty in his face, so that there could have
<v Speaker 3>been that much soot.
<v Speaker 4>Crash, jump off the table and shoot him while he's
<v Speaker 4>under the table.
<v Speaker 2>Why a gun?
<v Speaker 1>He just shut his Just shut your buddy. He's got
<v Speaker 1>a gun, you know, he does no more table.
<v Speaker 2>That's a rough way to go.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but he.
<v Speaker 4>Only looks like he got him in the legs, in
<v Speaker 4>the groin.
<v Speaker 3>He could totally survive that, just a flesh word.
<v Speaker 11>Come back.
<v Speaker 1>This scene cracks me up every time I watch it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he is just happy as it's Christmas Eve. He's got
<v Speaker 1>his twinkies, got his twinkies. He's headed home. Wow, goose Chase,
<v Speaker 1>I'm going home, slaves.
<v Speaker 4>Scary things that can happen to you, though for a
<v Speaker 4>bike you're not. Then all of a sudden, your your
<v Speaker 4>cars being shot.
<v Speaker 8>Uh huh.
<v Speaker 1>Turn my car, Mark.
<v Speaker 4>Body goes flying off.
<v Speaker 2>All back from Hard.
<v Speaker 5>I think if I woke up tomorrow with his headstones
<v Speaker 5>with the carpet, he wouldn't be a.
<v Speaker 1>Oh twinkies everywhere?
<v Speaker 6>Oh who is this guy?
<v Speaker 1>That's vicklos Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Professor Hathaway.
<v Speaker 8>M h.
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to tell which which of these jerks do
<v Speaker 1>you hate the most? You know, Ghostbusters, Real Genius or Diehard.
<v Speaker 1>I've always kind of said Professor Hathaway was the least
<v Speaker 1>likable of those guys.
<v Speaker 3>And we've got uh that's with the bully. Get the
<v Speaker 3>horns right. Oh yeah, we got him in here too.
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Uh, what's his name Paul Gleeson.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I think so.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, late, the late great Paul Leason, the.
<v Speaker 3>Like.
<v Speaker 2>How you know, the story continues to escalate now it's
<v Speaker 2>now it's getting out of the containment of the building. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's getting a little bit more public.
<v Speaker 1>Yep.
<v Speaker 2>And it's logical how how it got there and how
<v Speaker 2>John McClean managed to get it there.
<v Speaker 1>One more small complaint. I don't think you can interrupt
<v Speaker 1>somebody using a walkie talkie and you cannot lay in
<v Speaker 1>the ointment monkey in the ridge.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was Marco. They had to see four.
<v Speaker 1>Uh one of those guys is Marco, right, yeah, Now
<v Speaker 1>he got a bunch of.
<v Speaker 2>Magazines, have one four yep.
<v Speaker 4>I always thought it was strange that he would smoke
<v Speaker 4>a cigarette when they could possibly track him. I agree,
<v Speaker 4>Like they were on the same floor, you.
<v Speaker 1>Know, smells like cigarette smoking here he's close. Okay, well
<v Speaker 1>the great lines.
<v Speaker 3>Of movie history right there, and.
<v Speaker 1>He drops it like a nuclear bomb.
<v Speaker 4>I love it.
<v Speaker 1>You know. One of the strengths of this movie, I
<v Speaker 1>think at the time, you know, Bruce Willis was I
<v Speaker 1>think filming. I can't remember exactly, but Moonlighting was involved
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. I think Sybil Shepherd had to take
<v Speaker 1>a break because she was pregnant, but they had to
<v Speaker 1>develop these other kind of secondary lines, so like the
<v Speaker 1>newscaster had to have his moment and you know, a'l
<v Speaker 1>get got a full character development instead of just concentrating
<v Speaker 1>on John, which I think strengthens the story.
<v Speaker 4>So mosucker for there's also another crossover to uh leave
<v Speaker 4>the weapon.
<v Speaker 1>The psychiatrist.
<v Speaker 2>Mhmm.
<v Speaker 1>She was married to Robert Zamecas at one point, Is
<v Speaker 1>that right? I think she's dead now too. I think ye, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he's got the password and yeah he's still drilling.
<v Speaker 8>M mhmm.
<v Speaker 4>Don't turn the drill off, just keep drilling.
<v Speaker 21>H dealer, f you might find the back.
<v Speaker 1>So there's you got Fritz and only.
<v Speaker 7>Guys most clothing, the plan.
<v Speaker 8>There's do you know that?
<v Speaker 1>Any reason for the long dramatic pause right there with cigarettes?
<v Speaker 22>Yeah, the safe place, the whole up on top.
<v Speaker 1>Here he comes, there's Paul. Let's go.
<v Speaker 7>Play rocks.
<v Speaker 8>One.
<v Speaker 4>You mean a terror who talk.
<v Speaker 8>Give us?
<v Speaker 4>But it appears to be the.
<v Speaker 7>Flames. How Curt you one of the terrorists? Your cane.
<v Speaker 4>There looks like Mark Furman.
<v Speaker 8>Wow, uh huh.
<v Speaker 2>See what I like about the scene is the reactions
<v Speaker 2>of both these guys seem totally logical and reasonable, but
<v Speaker 2>you immediately are on our side.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, look at this. We gotta we gotta ask for miracles.
<v Speaker 13>Did you guys all cuddle in your beds?
<v Speaker 1>They're all comfy? I don't know what I'm doing.
<v Speaker 13>I feel like we need to move the table that way.
<v Speaker 4>You were down by five or twelve minutes ago, Jason.
<v Speaker 1>Dang it.
<v Speaker 2>Huh, Hey who's that.
<v Speaker 1>Who's coughing?
<v Speaker 2>No, there's somebody else sitting next to you. I just
<v Speaker 2>noticed them.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, ah, look he's here.
<v Speaker 2>You missed the welcome to the party paler line.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, could make.
<v Speaker 23>Yeah, we even stuck in a stupid drama class. Who
<v Speaker 23>gives a ship about class? I would rather have run barefoot,
<v Speaker 23>broken glass. I went there instead of coming.
<v Speaker 1>We screwed around for there you go, Chris. She's the director,
<v Speaker 1>which means you.
<v Speaker 2>Can which means you can go have sex in office
<v Speaker 2>whenever you want to, because.
<v Speaker 3>Again, even the bad guys are taking her office. Is
<v Speaker 3>that like the best office? Like she's got the best
<v Speaker 3>office for blow and for sexual encounters?
<v Speaker 2>Evident?
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's that's what I'm saying. Like she's high enough
<v Speaker 3>that she's the representative.
<v Speaker 4>But yet you know.
<v Speaker 1>They're still hazing her. She's only been there a short time.
<v Speaker 3>Maybe, Yeah, we do this to everybody. Well, I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 2>You're right.
<v Speaker 3>She is the director of corporate affairs. Where else would
<v Speaker 3>you have inner office relations but the corporate affairs, right sense?
<v Speaker 24>Okay, affairs there you go, sit in the car.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, once again, Dave, you're right, that guy's making sense.
<v Speaker 22>Right.
<v Speaker 1>They haven't heard from the terrorists, They know nothing. What
<v Speaker 1>the heck is going on? We don't know we're going in.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's still a jerk, like for whatever reason, you
<v Speaker 2>still don't like him. But he's not wrong, right, I mean,
<v Speaker 2>we know he's wrong, but with what they have to
<v Speaker 2>work with, you know, he's not being unreasonable.
<v Speaker 1>You got him say.
<v Speaker 25>M hm.
<v Speaker 1>When to pray?
<v Speaker 2>To be interesting to see how much they have to
<v Speaker 2>rely on John talking to himself now that he has now, yep,
<v Speaker 2>that's kind that's kind of why sidekicks were invented anyway,
<v Speaker 2>But so the hero didn't have to talk to himself
<v Speaker 2>all the time.
<v Speaker 13>YEP, is highlight.
<v Speaker 1>At least have themselves an r v K reconnoiter.
<v Speaker 8>Oh goo goo goo.
<v Speaker 22>Pup I know.
<v Speaker 2>It makes me think of like John Landa's slot teams.
<v Speaker 4>Standard two by two formations. Our goal.
<v Speaker 1>Still doesn't want to damage the limo, right, he's still
<v Speaker 1>making looking apps.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, that was really funny. But you get shot
<v Speaker 4>in about two seconds.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 2>How long we'll guess something.
<v Speaker 1>He's gone.
<v Speaker 2>It's some candy.
<v Speaker 13>Who lois?
<v Speaker 2>H h?
<v Speaker 4>Where do you go with the Mars bar?
<v Speaker 3>Though?
<v Speaker 4>Isn't that when he goes?
<v Speaker 2>Is all Leon still with us?
<v Speaker 1>He's still alive. I don't think he's in very good shape.
<v Speaker 1>I think Jeff Johnson met him or talk to him something.
<v Speaker 13>He's nuts. Theo's not still.
<v Speaker 1>Theo's gone, Hans is gone. Alexander Goodenoff is gone. Honestly,
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Willis is not doing great.
<v Speaker 2>Bruce is basically gone terrible. Very said.
<v Speaker 13>That that was a little drama right there.
<v Speaker 1>It looked like standard two by two formation right there,
<v Speaker 1>four guys running. That's a good that's a good take.
<v Speaker 2>Did they they Nest pay for that product placement?
<v Speaker 13>I'm sure.
<v Speaker 4>OK Coke gets a good one here in a minute too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes, yes it does. He wanted some coke. That's right.
<v Speaker 4>Now he's got the Mars Yeah, I knew that. I
<v Speaker 4>knew it was in there.
<v Speaker 24>Yahm oh man, like Frank these cans.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, imagine this same movie with Frank Sinatras John McLean.
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's crazy.
<v Speaker 1>They had to offer him the role contractually.
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy. I'm sure if he had accepted, they would
<v Speaker 2>have decided not to make the movie. But my goodness, but.
<v Speaker 4>He like seventy at this time or something like that.
<v Speaker 8>He was.
<v Speaker 2>What's his character? What's his character named? John McLean?
<v Speaker 1>In the in Uhland? Was the name of his character?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, h look at the other missile.
<v Speaker 13>If there's any prime reason to what's going on right now.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if if that impact would make the
<v Speaker 1>C four go off, then he should have put the
<v Speaker 1>computer on there a little lighter.

<v Speaker 1>of the machine gun that Alexander Goodnow's character you has
<v Speaker 1>in this was created due to the nineteen seventy two
<v Speaker 1>Munich Olympics, right. I believe that's true. The the Israeli
<v Speaker 1>anti or the anti terrorist group did not have a
<v Speaker 1>good enough weapon to combat terrorists, and so that weapon
<v Speaker 1>was created because of that incident.
<v Speaker 13>There you go. I didn't remember that.
<v Speaker 1>Yep.
<v Speaker 3>Do you not listen to serious podcast?
<v Speaker 13>Do learn something? Every time I listen to it? Half

<v Speaker 1>his way home.
<v Speaker 2>See that eighties hard hairstyle. Doesn't even face me. Like,

<v Speaker 2>It's just normal.
<v Speaker 1>Looks great.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love I love TV newsroom, movies, broadcast news.
<v Speaker 2>Uh shaped my professional choice.
<v Speaker 1>Really. Yeah, that's the one with uh Burt Reynolds.

<v Speaker 8>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>We need no, no, we don't need especially as Johnson.
<v Speaker 2>We need the other especially.
<v Speaker 6>Never relation.
<v Speaker 8>Mhm.
<v Speaker 2>How cool does Dobby look right there?
<v Speaker 1>Not anymore Grandell Bush another lethal weapon connection right there?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we immediately like these guys, like what's the difference? Right,
<v Speaker 2>It's just another authority figure coming in. But I'm already
<v Speaker 2>like thinking they're cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, more confident, seemingly like said somebody who spray painted
<v Speaker 1>Merry Christmas?
<v Speaker 4>Right there?
<v Speaker 2>It does. It's just likely stopped in the middle of it, right, I.
<v Speaker 1>Know it would be great graffiti Merry Christmas. Yeah, something
<v Speaker 1>you don't get with digital anymore. Those lens flares, I love.
<v Speaker 2>Them unless you're watching the J. J Abrams movie.
<v Speaker 3>Now.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I was gonna say, j Abrams will tell you
<v Speaker 6>to hold his beer.
<v Speaker 1>It's a little less green.
<v Speaker 3>I was about to say it it looks I guess
<v Speaker 3>in the light, it looks like it's a white shirt,
<v Speaker 3>a white shirt that got dirty with like bike tracks
<v Speaker 3>over it. Okay, on his.
<v Speaker 2>Did they know he could do an American accent?
<v Speaker 23>Yeah, they asked him if he could do an American
<v Speaker 23>accent and he said, no, I cannot do an American accent,
<v Speaker 23>but I can do a California accent.
<v Speaker 19>You know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Some of the decisions that they made in this
<v Speaker 1>movie were all I mean, they were so good, and
<v Speaker 1>yet they were thrown into the last minute and they
<v Speaker 1>were kind of reworking the script the whole time.
<v Speaker 2>That was an addition.
<v Speaker 1>That scene where they met was an addition.
<v Speaker 2>They realized they did. They didn't have a face to
<v Speaker 2>face sing anywhere.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, sounds like an A seven scenario.
<v Speaker 2>Bleeth is like totally frightened. Reben in this movie.
<v Speaker 1>Could be a cop. Not sure.
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's just gonna point an excessive amount of
<v Speaker 3>smoking in this movie, and you forget because you don't
<v Speaker 3>see it as much, like because he started with a
<v Speaker 3>full pack.
<v Speaker 1>Right well, and he didn't he take it out, guys, sweatpants.
<v Speaker 3>That's what That's what I'm saying. I think it was
<v Speaker 3>a full pack and.
<v Speaker 2>Now right here, Yeah, y'all see what he's picking up here?
<v Speaker 3>What?
<v Speaker 13>Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>Uh, the claims picking up on how Hans is holding
<v Speaker 2>the Cigarettess don't hold a cigarette.
<v Speaker 21>Like that.
<v Speaker 2>He holds. Yeah, Hans is holding a European.
<v Speaker 3>Style mm hmm.
<v Speaker 1>Holding cigarettes European style. Interesting m hm.
<v Speaker 10>Mhmm, Bill Clay, I'm John.
<v Speaker 2>You're right.
<v Speaker 25>Right.
<v Speaker 1>His eyes kind of got wide there, like I wasn't
<v Speaker 1>sure it was John McClean, but now I know.
<v Speaker 6>I make sure there's not one in the chamber.
<v Speaker 1>I remember when I first saw this in the movie theater,
<v Speaker 1>I was dying right here. I was really like, how
<v Speaker 1>in the world is he going.
<v Speaker 13>To really smoked up?
<v Speaker 1>He needs his detonative? Mhm I he hell looked like
<v Speaker 1>a European right there.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, there's no fungus in this truck.
<v Speaker 1>Mhm hants.
<v Speaker 3>M hm.
<v Speaker 16>Hm.
<v Speaker 14>You might not be a four.
<v Speaker 13>Yes, right, ro just say.
<v Speaker 1>I was getting ready to shot man.
<v Speaker 2>Ye got another one.
<v Speaker 3>But that's a callback to what I was saying earlier.
<v Speaker 3>You know, if if you didn't see Hans shoot him
<v Speaker 3>face to face dead point, actually's gotten. He's shot and
<v Speaker 3>two he shot two guys. Now the fact that he's
<v Speaker 3>standing there with the gun in front of him is
<v Speaker 3>could be like, oh, he's not going to pull the
<v Speaker 3>gun right that. You know, he's not going to pull
<v Speaker 3>the trigger. He's already shot two people point blank for
<v Speaker 3>not for not giving him what he wanted.
<v Speaker 1>They got killer, by the way, uh as I understand it.
<v Speaker 1>I don't speak German, but I did hear a translator
<v Speaker 1>say that. What he says right here essentially shoot the windows, kah,
<v Speaker 1>which I guess is the same as glass.
<v Speaker 14>But yeah, kah.
<v Speaker 1>Man, this movie just keeps leveling up, you know, just
<v Speaker 1>just cranks yep on beating up.
<v Speaker 2>And now the public like like he has no place
<v Speaker 2>to run.
<v Speaker 1>Ye, gotta leave the detonators to to keep him from
<v Speaker 1>pursuing him.
<v Speaker 6>Ow yikes, Oh flashpang.
<v Speaker 4>I think the flash bang actually gave him cover to
<v Speaker 4>get out of her.
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not thinking it would be too hard to
<v Speaker 1>pursue him. You could just follow the blood trail, right.
<v Speaker 2>But back in business, that's pretty Marsha's daughter, Yes, that's correct.
<v Speaker 2>She looks a lot better than mama.
<v Speaker 6>She does, but she adopted.
<v Speaker 1>No, Yeah, she wasn't adopted though, That's why.

<v Speaker 1>he does because he listens surely.
<v Speaker 2>Like to be fair, This was like three or four
<v Speaker 2>years ago.
<v Speaker 1>I believe W. C. Field's made it famous. And then
<v Speaker 1>when Ronald Reagan got shot. Line his last line. And
<v Speaker 1>then when Ronald Reagan got shot, they asked him how
<v Speaker 1>he was feeling in the hospital and he said, all
<v Speaker 1>things being equal, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna step away from just a moment.
<v Speaker 8>Guys, Okay, I got a.
<v Speaker 22>Shot.
<v Speaker 1>Once again, they never take the tension off. He's pulling
<v Speaker 1>glass out of his feet while we have a kind
<v Speaker 1>of this touching moment.
<v Speaker 2>I've always believed this was this that uh Phil Johnson
<v Speaker 2>here is playing the same character from the Family Matters
<v Speaker 2>because he was a Coconut show too, and Ghostbusters and
<v Speaker 2>Ghostbusters right and Trady Pleaser, I don't know remember that?

<v Speaker 13>That could be really hard with the hurt.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you pull up right there, let's go.
<v Speaker 4>Mhm, holy cramp. That's a lot of C four four.
<v Speaker 4>But I yes, I had to take a piss break.
<v Speaker 1>Here there is.
<v Speaker 2>He uh McLean found all the C four and now
<v Speaker 2>he's gotten caught my Carl.
<v Speaker 13>Okay, uh.
<v Speaker 1>Notice that Bruce Willis is left handed. Lots of left
<v Speaker 1>handed puncies here.
<v Speaker 3>H h.
<v Speaker 1>So we've still got well, we've got Carl, We've got Hans,
<v Speaker 1>We've got THEO. We've got Huey Lewis. I think he's
<v Speaker 1>is his name Allie in this I can't remember. Ah.
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna ratchet up even more.
<v Speaker 1>Brilliant right, adding more pressure yep, m h man. You
<v Speaker 1>guys have been kicked in the face.
<v Speaker 4>It hurts, not four times in a row.
<v Speaker 13>How about having your hat.
<v Speaker 1>Smashed against that hurts too?
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, yeah, I can live with that, junior high.
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, more pressure, No, we have we still have
<v Speaker 1>al leongs. So okay for long.
<v Speaker 4>I gotta give you a quick update. Jason uh Sooners
<v Speaker 4>just hit a three to tie it, and they were
<v Speaker 4>foul with eleven seconds to go. Yes, they have a
<v Speaker 4>free throw to take the lead. Jeremiah Fears is on fire.
<v Speaker 4>He's got like thirty points.
<v Speaker 1>Clean.
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, oh.
<v Speaker 13>Never shot on the shoulder.
<v Speaker 1>Jones did, and then I know it hurts you ever
<v Speaker 1>kicked somebody with your bare feet with the toe right
<v Speaker 1>right in the toe.
<v Speaker 13>Have you ever seen a grown man make it?
<v Speaker 14>Thank you?
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly where I was going prison.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he looks really good right here. She's her uh
<v Speaker 4>blouse is a.
<v Speaker 10>Little no normal it is.
<v Speaker 1>She's got that one extra button undone. Yep, I got
<v Speaker 1>a seventy six dale final.
<v Speaker 4>Yep. Oh the final. Okay, I must be a few
<v Speaker 4>seconds behind. Yep. They missed the three pointer at the end.
<v Speaker 4>Oh baby, oh that's also by Jeremiah Fears to win
<v Speaker 4>the game. Let's go unbelievable. Man.
<v Speaker 2>You know this is personal for Carl because of his brother. Yeap,
<v Speaker 2>So it's like it's just some brutal fight. That was
<v Speaker 2>a good shot of the stuntman's face there.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here's my one complaint about this movie. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>I've had a few minor complaints, but.
<v Speaker 13>Still got his hand there.
<v Speaker 1>They could have done something to been a little you know, like,
<v Speaker 1>did he die? Did he not die? When everybody comes
<v Speaker 1>back five minutes from now and he's still hanging by
<v Speaker 1>his neck.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, wouldn't he? Yeah, you think he'd asphyxiate, right if they.
<v Speaker 1>Showed maybe he could show I don't know, empty chains
<v Speaker 1>or something. I don't know. Yeah, that's the only real
<v Speaker 1>leap that gives me trouble.
<v Speaker 4>Well, how does he make it down to the bottom
<v Speaker 4>at the very end of he is he in police
<v Speaker 4>custody at that point.
<v Speaker 26>I thought it was in a body bag? Wow, because
<v Speaker 26>he still has his uh what that og? He still
<v Speaker 26>has that when he comes out at the end. Yeah,
<v Speaker 26>the name and that's what they switched to the alien
<v Speaker 26>soundtrack back.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's right.
<v Speaker 4>I'll just leave the his weapon and his body bag.
<v Speaker 4>You won't. He won't come to try to use it
<v Speaker 4>or anything.
<v Speaker 6>Standard place procedures.
<v Speaker 1>There's a great look of how far apart there actually
<v Speaker 1>are there, Chris.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>You take a look at his feet when he's laying
<v Speaker 1>down right here, you can actually see his feet covered
<v Speaker 1>boots right there. He's wearing like plastic boots that look
<v Speaker 1>like feet.
<v Speaker 4>That's interesting.
<v Speaker 2>I did see that.
<v Speaker 1>He jumps when he lands right there and says, I'm
<v Speaker 1>on your side.
<v Speaker 10>Ah.
<v Speaker 1>This this is one of the best scenes right here.
<v Speaker 1>I just this part right here. Up people are running downstairs,
<v Speaker 1>helicopters after him. The roof's wired to blow, and he's
<v Speaker 1>hanging by a fire hose.
<v Speaker 2>And that's a pretty good day.
<v Speaker 13>It sounds like Tommy Lee Jones too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's cause up there, hontually Carl's lucky. He survived
<v Speaker 1>the explosion as well.
<v Speaker 2>That's true.
<v Speaker 10>H mm hmm.
<v Speaker 1>Oh the bloody feet.
<v Speaker 2>That's not enough. Now he's about to get pulled down.
<v Speaker 2>I know, a tension, tension, he's going from one peril
<v Speaker 2>to the next.
<v Speaker 4>Oy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would be the ending pragmatic scene for almost
<v Speaker 2>any other action.
<v Speaker 4>That's the elevator opens up in a huge explosion.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the helicopter almost kills him right here.
<v Speaker 25>You know that's a great set piece to them. Yeah, Model,
<v Speaker 25>you don't think the blow up.
<v Speaker 2>So we're agents Johnson and Johnson in that helicopter.
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, it's play. Says they're going to need some new
<v Speaker 13>FBI guys.
<v Speaker 2>I guess.
<v Speaker 10>Boom.
<v Speaker 4>I'm surehere that secondary explosion came from but it adds.
<v Speaker 4>Then the tension still last.
<v Speaker 2>And our goal is not hearing anything.
<v Speaker 4>And there's the magic, the magic ambulance.
<v Speaker 1>There. It is magic.
<v Speaker 4>Unless there was a second truck we didn't see. I
<v Speaker 4>don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Ali, that's that's that guy's name, man money.
<v Speaker 13>This is some genius writing right now.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, so good.
<v Speaker 13>Two bullets around the corner, and you.
<v Speaker 1>Know, kind of an underappreciated moment is that there's three
<v Speaker 1>bad guys and two bullets. He's got to take out
<v Speaker 1>that first guy with the butt of his gun.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what she does, Look at our goal.
<v Speaker 1>Let's go knock him out. Yah, that's too terrible, right,
<v Speaker 1>They got right here, watch.
<v Speaker 4>It, you're here w am.
<v Speaker 8>And then uh yeah, h m hmm.
<v Speaker 1>A little release of pressure there. Don't you shoot him? Huie,
<v Speaker 1>I've got this.
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm.
<v Speaker 22>Okay m m m.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yes kay m hm m hm.
<v Speaker 1>Bonnie Badelia mcaulay Culkin's aunt mm hmmm hu uh yep.
<v Speaker 4>Nine means no in German.
<v Speaker 1>Jason, thank you, thank you, such a cool showdown right here.
<v Speaker 4>You pay a modified.
<v Speaker 13>Jason's greetings.
<v Speaker 1>Bitches, betrayals, betrayals, Hans.
<v Speaker 13>And this there's an allegory about how women should not
<v Speaker 13>be involved in corporate.
<v Speaker 16>Right.
<v Speaker 1>The message of the.
<v Speaker 13>Movie Rolex was literally about to kill her.
<v Speaker 1>Stay home with your husband and your family.
<v Speaker 11>Yea.
<v Speaker 4>I love that they didn't the coolest death scene in
<v Speaker 4>any movie drop Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you didn't know he was gonna be dropped like that.
<v Speaker 1>Notice the Barrabonds right there falling with him. M more Barrabonds.
<v Speaker 3>That's one of the terrests.
<v Speaker 1>There are bloody kisses.
<v Speaker 13>Like snow.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, it is, I mean snow. It's on Christmas her names.
<v Speaker 1>One small complaint that I've got is that when he's
<v Speaker 1>walking out, the Barrabonds are clearly just green construction paper.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, there you go green. Yeah yeah, thanks, thanks, Sorry,
<v Speaker 1>it's a.
<v Speaker 3>It's a green T shirt, green construction that's right.
<v Speaker 1>Truly one of the great moments in this movie right here. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I know, yeah, I like this.
<v Speaker 2>Amanda brothers bond and they've never even met before.
<v Speaker 1>Yep. I think the kids are going to play on
<v Speaker 1>the playground with al Junior.
<v Speaker 13>H is Holly any more of the movies.
<v Speaker 2>She's in two, Yeah, she's in part two.
<v Speaker 1>She's on the airplane. She's one on one of the
<v Speaker 1>airplanes that they're trying to land.
<v Speaker 13>I think I saw two in the theater and that
<v Speaker 13>was it, and that was nasal I ever saw.
<v Speaker 1>Really, you haven't seen three.
<v Speaker 3>Four now.
<v Speaker 6>It could have stopped at one and it would have
<v Speaker 6>been okay.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, but I love too.
<v Speaker 13>I love also because he's still a real human being.
<v Speaker 13>He's not the superhero yet.
<v Speaker 3>In one of the future ones, is it revealed that
<v Speaker 3>they are no longer together?
<v Speaker 22>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>Three?
<v Speaker 3>Three?
<v Speaker 4>Is that what it is? Okay?
<v Speaker 1>So he's like an alcoholic and a bum.
<v Speaker 3>So in the grand scheme, so is that is three
<v Speaker 3>considered canon or not? You know?
<v Speaker 2>Okay?
<v Speaker 3>So in the grand scheme of is this a Christmas
<v Speaker 3>movie or not a Christmas movie? The one thing that
<v Speaker 3>I would knock against it is the whole happy ending
<v Speaker 3>of the realization that he needs like as much as
<v Speaker 3>d you were joking about, you know, the allegory with
<v Speaker 3>the professional woman, the idea that he realized that he
<v Speaker 3>was wrong, and the happy ending is that he belongs
<v Speaker 3>with her and they belong together and yet ultimately they don't.
<v Speaker 3>So that to me kind of ruins this as the
<v Speaker 3>Christmas movie. But again, that's that's that's the last Jedi
<v Speaker 3>will say that they divorced them, Like, come on, you
<v Speaker 3>can't do that.
<v Speaker 23>That's awesome, okay, So or somebody since a sound clip
<v Speaker 23>that's referenced the that scene that we just saw, uh
<v Speaker 23>and an alien sound cue?
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, was it the woman screaming? Was that the scream?
<v Speaker 5>No, it was the music when he comes out that
<v Speaker 5>that was taken from aliens. That's James Horner, not Mike Cayman.
<v Speaker 6>Mark came in home, twentieth Century Fox. They had the music.
<v Speaker 6>I just they owned it.
<v Speaker 3>So.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, in the movie Theater in nineteen eighty
<v Speaker 1>eight when Al Powell, when it's revealed that Al Powell
<v Speaker 1>shoots Carl, Yeah, the crowd stood.
<v Speaker 2>And cheered and cheered. That's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>The only time I've ever been to a movie where
<v Speaker 1>people stood and cheered.
<v Speaker 4>Wow.
<v Speaker 2>It's a great ending for him too, you know with
<v Speaker 2>his story of.
<v Speaker 1>Al gets his moment, Paulli gets her moment, our Goll
<v Speaker 1>gets his moment. Just brilliant writing.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, everything's real tidy.
<v Speaker 4>At the end, the credits call credit the two FBI
<v Speaker 4>agents says Big Johnson and Little.
<v Speaker 2>Johnson to be credited as Little Johnson is that a.
<v Speaker 3>Smoky in the Smoky and the bandit type.
<v Speaker 6>A little big, big big Johnson Big Johnson T shirts.
<v Speaker 1>Were all either kissing man p Randall Bowers Yea, all right,
<v Speaker 1>kissed in the.
<v Speaker 6>Mom You got to see this role I'm in. I
<v Speaker 6>actually kiss Bruce Willis.
<v Speaker 1>That was my whole role. That's the whole thing. I did.
<v Speaker 4>Credit for it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, what a great movie.
<v Speaker 8>Guys.
<v Speaker 1>How many is everybody here on board with the Christmas
<v Speaker 1>movie thing?
<v Speaker 6>Oh? Yes, except maybe Chris No, no.
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, I am I'm saying that three. You
<v Speaker 3>know last when I when I saw that, I was like, no.
<v Speaker 8>You can't do that.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they kind of, yeah, you're gonna have to take
<v Speaker 4>it as its own thing. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I've seen Diehard one like a hundred times. I've seen
<v Speaker 1>Diehard two. Mate, just a handful and they diminish from there.
<v Speaker 4>Pretty good.
<v Speaker 1>Three is okay.
<v Speaker 3>Die Hard is in fact one of the movies that
<v Speaker 3>my wife says it all the time anytime it's on,
<v Speaker 3>Like she'll walk in the room and I and I
<v Speaker 3>have it on, like I'll pick it up at any point.
<v Speaker 3>She's like that with the Godfather, Like Godfather and Goodfellas
<v Speaker 3>she's next to me. I'm just saying that. You always say,
<v Speaker 3>die Hard is one of the movies that I constantly watch, Like,
<v Speaker 3>anytime it's on, I'll watch. And I said, you do
<v Speaker 3>the same with Goodfellas and and Godfather. You know, it's
<v Speaker 3>just I don't I don't get I don't get tired.
<v Speaker 3>I really don't get tired of watching. It's just, you know,
<v Speaker 3>it's just you know, it's so well you're like, oh yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>this part, it's this part, it's and it is because
<v Speaker 3>it just pulls you in.
<v Speaker 2>We found ways to nitpick this because we're so familiar
<v Speaker 2>with it. But when it comes to like story structure
<v Speaker 2>and just building the tension, it doesn't get better than this.
<v Speaker 1>A masterclass perfect.
<v Speaker 23>By the way, three perfect movies in the eighties, Lost Star,
<v Speaker 23>Back to the Future, and.
<v Speaker 2>Did Yeah, I want to argue with that.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, it is.
<v Speaker 2>Chuck, it is Michael Caman.
<v Speaker 6>It's all like Caman, I said, Mark.
<v Speaker 2>He said, Michael, Mark, you weren't sure.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he died too soon.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one of the major.
<v Speaker 1>Mike Caman did the the Orchestra with Aerosmith that one
<v Speaker 1>time when they.
<v Speaker 13>Did the Dream on one he also did the.
<v Speaker 1>S Symphony and Metallica.
<v Speaker 23>Ye, speaking of which I wonder who is like this
<v Speaker 23>being the full choir version of the Ninth Symphony, Oh
<v Speaker 23>de joy, I wonder who they got like I did
<v Speaker 23>they recorded especially for this or did they use some
<v Speaker 23>sort of prior recording.
