Top 10 Movies since Y2K!: 100th Episode Special!

<v Speaker 1>Hello everybody, and welcome to the one hundredth episode of
<v Speaker 1>the Surely You Can't Be Serious Podcast. I can't believe
<v Speaker 1>we made it this far. I can't either, man, congratulations,
<v Speaker 1>I actually can't believe it's here already. Like it's just
<v Speaker 1>like it's flown by. I know it's two. Season's nearly done,
<v Speaker 1>and now here we are, episode number one hundred. If
<v Speaker 1>you are listening to this, thank you.
<v Speaker 2>You are the reason why we have made it to
<v Speaker 2>the one hundredth episode.
<v Speaker 1>The thousands and thousands of people that are tuning in
<v Speaker 1>each week to hear what we have to say blows
<v Speaker 1>my mind every single day. I can't believe it. We
<v Speaker 1>talked about it like on episode number four or something. Hey,
<v Speaker 1>we're really impressed that, you know, seven hundred people have
<v Speaker 1>listen to us, and so it's just amazing that it's
<v Speaker 1>gone this far now and we want to say thank
<v Speaker 1>you fans, thank you so much. You are surely awesome.
<v Speaker 1>That's right.
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Shirley Temple. Yeah, I mean, this is fantastic.
<v Speaker 2>I'm having a blast doing this with you. This is
<v Speaker 2>two years now. Yeah, we've gone through tons of really
<v Speaker 2>interesting stories and albums and movies, and today we're doing
<v Speaker 2>something special.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So we always cover movies of the eighties, maybe seventies, nineties,
<v Speaker 1>maybe two thousands, but it's pretty rare. It's like it's
<v Speaker 1>going to be matched up with some other old movie
<v Speaker 1>like we did with Superman and Man of Steel, or
<v Speaker 1>when we were talking about Bill and Ted Face the
<v Speaker 1>Music versus Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey.
<v Speaker 1>That's that's the thing, because we're of the opinion that
<v Speaker 1>those are the best movies that ever were made.
<v Speaker 2>The eighties and nineties were definitely my sweet spot. Seventies
<v Speaker 2>to you know. Yeah, but yeah, I agree, those movies
<v Speaker 2>hit me hard.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, reason I'm going to put you on the spot.
<v Speaker 1>What's the best decade for movies? Eighties? Yeah, I'm picking nineties. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>I would say nineties. So that would be an interesting
<v Speaker 1>you know, when we get two hundredth episode, maybe that
<v Speaker 1>should be what we do, is we get idea eighties
<v Speaker 1>versus nineties, which.
<v Speaker 2>Was your ten versus my ten? Yeah, mono we mono, Yeah, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I'm up for it. So what we're doing today is
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about movies that are not in the eighties,
<v Speaker 2>or nineties, yor not in the twentieth century at all.
<v Speaker 2>We are talking about our ten favorite twenty first century movies, which, honestly,
<v Speaker 2>when I started this process, I'm like, I want to
<v Speaker 2>be I want to be hard pressed to get ten right.
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually surprised at how many decent movies have come
<v Speaker 2>out in the last twenty years.
<v Speaker 1>It's more than I thought. Now, I will say the
<v Speaker 1>years don't compare to eighties and nineties, but there has
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of really good movies that have come
<v Speaker 1>out in the last year. That's true.
<v Speaker 2>That's true in twenty almost twenty two years now. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a big area to pull from. Sure,
<v Speaker 2>and there are some great movies and movies that I
<v Speaker 2>really enjoyed now. For you and I the early two thousands,
<v Speaker 2>that's when we started having kids. Yeah, and so time
<v Speaker 2>at the movies.
<v Speaker 1>Was a little bit more rare thing. And when we
<v Speaker 1>did go to the movies, we tended to see some
<v Speaker 1>kids stuffs. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so just the way that our life has developed,
<v Speaker 2>we might see that in our list.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jason had his first kid and O two. I
<v Speaker 1>had my first kid and O three, and we both
<v Speaker 1>kept going after that. So there's a significant time period
<v Speaker 1>that we were out of the loop as far as
<v Speaker 1>what popular culture was other than kid culture. I've got
<v Speaker 1>one of those movies on my list, but I did
<v Speaker 1>my best to not fall back on Pixar. Well, I mean, hey,
<v Speaker 1>if you wanted to name ten Pixar movies, that's there.
<v Speaker 1>This is your list. May are some of the best
<v Speaker 1>of the last twenty years for sure. Well, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are you ready, Let's get into it. Let's
<v Speaker 1>jump into it now. Who's going to go first? Well,
<v Speaker 1>let's start with our honorable mentions want to end with
<v Speaker 1>my honorable man? What? Okay? All right? That's well, because
<v Speaker 1>if you we're get a crescendo to one, I know, okay,
<v Speaker 1>let's do it before one. Then let's like, let's get
<v Speaker 1>to number two and then okay, before we jump into
<v Speaker 1>our another one spot. How oh we did that? Okay,
<v Speaker 1>that's what they worked. Yeah, okay, Jason, you start ten. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna just jump right in here, number ten,
<v Speaker 1>number ten.
<v Speaker 2>This movie came out in two thousand and five, and
<v Speaker 2>actually I didn't mean for this to happen, but we
<v Speaker 2>are recording today on November the.
<v Speaker 1>Fifth, right, is that anything to you. Uh, the number
<v Speaker 1>the fifth, nineteen fifty five. Yeah, this is the anniversary
<v Speaker 1>of the day that my say Fox went back in time. Remember,
<v Speaker 1>remember the fifth of November. Yeah, you're gonna have to
<v Speaker 1>do one for me on that V for Vendetta. Oh okay,
<v Speaker 1>is my number ten movie. Okay. It stars Hugo.
<v Speaker 2>Weaving, Natalie Portman, John Hurt, the guy from Aliens, the
<v Speaker 2>guy got his.
<v Speaker 1>Chest ripped up. Yes, and it's sort of this is
<v Speaker 1>he a freedom fighter? Is he a terrorist? He's fighting
<v Speaker 1>back against a overreaching government?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>And you know who who's the good guy? Who's the
<v Speaker 2>bad guy? It's fantastic movie.
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you. I've seen part of it. I've seen
<v Speaker 1>like the first half. But as with the case with
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of movies in my life these days,
<v Speaker 1>I only see a little bit before I get called
<v Speaker 1>away on some other emergency, so I have not been
<v Speaker 1>able to finish it. I've got I got pretty far along, actually,
<v Speaker 1>I think probably three quarters of the way into it
<v Speaker 1>and just never have finished that movie. Man School. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to see it, very very well done.
<v Speaker 2>It'll make you think, It'll make you think, do you
<v Speaker 2>trust your government? Do you not trust your government. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>is dynamite the answer?
<v Speaker 1>Right? You know what I mean? Right? Right? Okay, remember
<v Speaker 1>that that's what I can't all right. So for my
<v Speaker 1>number ten, I've got the movie nineteen seventeen, which was
<v Speaker 1>directed by Sam Mendez. It was sort of based on
<v Speaker 1>stories that his grandfather had told him about being in
<v Speaker 1>the Great War. And it follows two soldiers who have
<v Speaker 1>to carry a message in order to save one of
<v Speaker 1>the soldier's brothers from certain annihilation. And you've heard about
<v Speaker 1>the follow shot where it's just like a continuous shot.
<v Speaker 1>They do the entire movie as a continuous shot following
<v Speaker 1>the characters involved, and you don't ever break away. It's
<v Speaker 1>an interesting experiment in being able to do that, something
<v Speaker 1>like rope that Alfred Hitchcock did. But I just remember
<v Speaker 1>after that movie, I called JEP and I said, this
<v Speaker 1>is a movie you need to go check out. Guess
<v Speaker 1>what you haven't checked I haven't seen it yet.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I did check it out from the
<v Speaker 2>library and just didn't get a chance to watch it yet.
<v Speaker 1>It is now officially back in my cube, all right, Okay. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Nine Number nine for me is the twenty eleven David
<v Speaker 2>Fincher film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
<v Speaker 1>That is ironic. I've got a David Fincher film as
<v Speaker 1>my number nine as well. Wow, okay, fantastic.
<v Speaker 2>So this movie, it has Daniel Craig is investigating this family.
<v Speaker 2>He's kind of in trouble and he gets called in
<v Speaker 2>to kind of look into this family's history and he
<v Speaker 2>starts to realize that there's a woman who's been missing
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, and maybe there's a serial killer
<v Speaker 2>who's acting and he has to look at these pictures
<v Speaker 2>and try to figure out the clues. It works as
<v Speaker 2>a mystery thriller, like a serial killer.
<v Speaker 1>Type of thing. It is dark and scary and awesome.
<v Speaker 1>I've read the book. I absolutely loved the book. I
<v Speaker 1>read it in anticipation of seeing the movie and I
<v Speaker 1>still haven't seen it. Oh my gosh. I just know.
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's not gonna you know there, I know
<v Speaker 1>there are parts it's in the movie that it's not
<v Speaker 1>going to be okay if a kid walks in, And
<v Speaker 1>that's very true. Some man rate going on. He got yes.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, spoiler alert for you know people out there,
<v Speaker 1>we may talk about some movies you haven't seen and
<v Speaker 1>forgive us for spoiling. I'm going to try not to
<v Speaker 1>spoil any movies right that Jason hasn't seen, And if
<v Speaker 1>he tries to spoil a movie for me, I might
<v Speaker 1>have to punch him. Really anti spoiler guy.
<v Speaker 2>Rooney Mehra's performance as Elizabeth Slander is fantastic. She's angry,
<v Speaker 2>she's better, she's mean, but she's super smart and just
<v Speaker 2>really good at her job.
<v Speaker 1>You've got to check out the book. You just have to.
<v Speaker 1>It's to get behind the eyes of that character. Is
<v Speaker 1>an amazing experience. So you read the book, I'll watch
<v Speaker 1>the movie. We'll talk, okay. Number nine. Number nine to
<v Speaker 1>me is the Social Network. Ah yeah, okay, So this
<v Speaker 1>is a David Fincher directed movie written by Aaron Sorkin,
<v Speaker 1>who brought us all kinds of brilliance, including a few
<v Speaker 1>good men. But it's the story of Facebook, I know, right.
<v Speaker 1>And have you seen it? Yes? Okay, one of my favorites.
<v Speaker 1>Like I tell people all the time, have you seen
<v Speaker 1>this movie? Go check it out. It is truly brilliant.
<v Speaker 1>And the way that they work the movie is it's
<v Speaker 1>all takes place through the storytelling that goes on in
<v Speaker 1>depositions because everybody is suing.
<v Speaker 2>You think Mark Zuckerberg, think, yeah, if I could get
<v Speaker 2>a piece of Facebook, would I fight hard to get
<v Speaker 2>a piece of Facebook?
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I think so. Well, and he genuinely screwed me.
<v Speaker 1>He was sticking it to those guys. Man. But I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can call them the losers in the process,
<v Speaker 1>but all of those guys are multimillionaire at that point. Yeah. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>It was a fascinating movie. And David Fincher makes great movies.
<v Speaker 1>Man performances are spot on. You got Andrew Garfield, Jesse Eisenberg,
<v Speaker 1>and possibly his best performance like he sounds like, he
<v Speaker 1>looks like he carries the personality of Mark Zuckerberg to
<v Speaker 1>a t.
<v Speaker 3>Yes.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, eight, my number eight movie, The Hangover. Okay, all right.
<v Speaker 2>Hangover Bradley Cooper, Zach galfanikis, Ed Helms, Heather Graham, directed
<v Speaker 2>by Todd Phillips. Listen, this movie is hilarious.
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the funniest movies, if not the funniest
<v Speaker 1>movie of the last twenty years. And it's my number
<v Speaker 1>seven movies. Okay, Well, well let's you roll you roll
<v Speaker 1>with it?
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was just gonna say it not only works
<v Speaker 2>brilliantly as a comedy, yes, but it works as a mystery.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely. You were presented with the question at the
<v Speaker 1>hook moment in every film, you know, thirty minutes in
<v Speaker 1>they've lost a man, a man they waved gosta man.
<v Speaker 1>They've lost a night, and it's the most important man
<v Speaker 1>because it's the groom of the wedding that happens that day.
<v Speaker 1>The stakes are up top. It is fantastic. They have
<v Speaker 1>to take the clues, yeah, and piece together what happened
<v Speaker 1>that night so they can find their buddy Doug. This
<v Speaker 1>movie was my introduction, as imagined, It was for a
<v Speaker 1>lot of folks introduction to Zach Galafanakis. Yes, brilliant is
<v Speaker 1>comedic timing his ability to improv into moments and delivery.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the man is a genius. I'm a bit
<v Speaker 1>of a prude when it comes to like raunchy comedies. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I could not resist this one start to finish. I
<v Speaker 2>was laughing my butt off, Yeah for sure.
<v Speaker 1>And Ethergram eather Gram. Okay, So my number eight, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>my number eight movie is Thor Ragnarok. Such a good one,
<v Speaker 1>such a good one. I was trying to be careful
<v Speaker 1>about superhero movies, but as it turned out, there weren't
<v Speaker 1>as many as I thought that there would be on
<v Speaker 1>this list. Thor Ragnarok is, in my opinion, the best
<v Speaker 1>Marvel movie, and Marvel movies are some of the top
<v Speaker 1>movies that have come out. They're fantastic, but it's the
<v Speaker 1>best of them all because it brings home the comedy.
<v Speaker 1>It gives us a throwback to the eighties. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>all of the graphics that they use are very eighties inspired.
<v Speaker 1>And then when we did our Flash Gordon episode, we realized, hey,
<v Speaker 1>this is actually borrowing a whole lot from that very movie,
<v Speaker 1>which ironically, the director Tai Kowatiki, is going to be
<v Speaker 1>doing the Flash Gordon movie. I can't wait.
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait, and I'm with you. Thor Ragnarrock just
<v Speaker 2>outside of my top ten. Brilliant and hilarious movie, and.
<v Speaker 1>Taka Tiki is a superstar. Just got to throw this out.
<v Speaker 1>He's got a couple of other movies that I had
<v Speaker 1>on my list that I had to take off just
<v Speaker 1>because I was trying not to duplicate. But he's got
<v Speaker 1>Hunt for the Wilder People, which is brilliant, takes place
<v Speaker 1>in New Zealand, has the guy from Jurassic Park in it,
<v Speaker 1>and like Sam Neil, Yeah, Sam Neil Yes, Okay yeah,
<v Speaker 1>utterly hilarious and wonderful and an inspiring news story. And
<v Speaker 1>the other movie that's come out pretty recently is called
<v Speaker 1>Jojo Rabbit, which is about a little kid who has
<v Speaker 1>an imaginary friend who is Hitler. He's a Hitler youth
<v Speaker 1>and his imaginary friend is actually Hitler, who is played
<v Speaker 1>by Taikawatiki, and it's hysterical. What, yeah, how are you
<v Speaker 1>going to make a movie? You know, the producers made
<v Speaker 1>a Hitler movie to make the worst play of all time.
<v Speaker 1>But he took a Hitler movie and made it really
<v Speaker 1>funny and really brought it home. Also has Scarlett Johansson
<v Speaker 1>in it. It's great, great, fantastic. Well, I will tell
<v Speaker 1>you this. Takawai is trying his hand in the Star
<v Speaker 1>Wars universe. Oh yeah, I don't know. Exacdalorian, Yeah is dicted.
<v Speaker 1>He's directed some of the Mandalorians. Okay, yeah, well, I
<v Speaker 1>say give him his own movie. Let's go. Oh dude,
<v Speaker 1>he's yeah, and I'm ready for the Flash Gordon. He
<v Speaker 1>is one of those directors that if you know, if
<v Speaker 1>somebody's gonna do a remake. I trust him to do
<v Speaker 1>the remake. Fantastic. Okay, So I've already hit my number seven,
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna jump on your number seven. Go h okay,
<v Speaker 1>Well let's talk about your number seven. Well, my number
<v Speaker 1>seven was the Hangover, so we've already discussed that.
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's a part in the Hangover I was going
<v Speaker 2>to talk about. Okay, Yeah, the Mike Tyson punch, Zach
<v Speaker 2>Guelph and iks. I have never burst out laughing so
<v Speaker 2>violently so quickly.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, well when that happened, I died laughing.
<v Speaker 1>I think a key ingredient of any good movie is
<v Speaker 1>that there are lines that you will continually quote after
<v Speaker 1>you've seen the movie. And I haven't. I maybe have
<v Speaker 1>seen it twice. I don't even know. I may have
<v Speaker 1>only seen it once. It's not that many times. But still,
<v Speaker 1>like within the last week, my wife has said to me,
<v Speaker 1>you ever see a baby do this.
<v Speaker 2>Carlos, Oh my god, when they wake up in that
<v Speaker 2>hotel room and there's a tiger in the room with them.
<v Speaker 1>That's brilliant. That is brilliant, brilliant filmmaking right there.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, if you haven't seen Hangover. This is not one
<v Speaker 2>for the kids, not No.
<v Speaker 1>Seven. All right, so my number seven movie. Yeah. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if this if you've seen this one or not,
<v Speaker 1>but I love this movie. It's Moneyball with Brad play Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I love it. It was in the running. It was
<v Speaker 1>in the running. It's not on my list, but it
<v Speaker 1>was definitely in the running. I love Moneyball, Okay, I'm
<v Speaker 1>a big baseball fan. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>And this is the story of the two thousand and
<v Speaker 2>one Oakland A's and how they had to use analytics
<v Speaker 2>to figure out how they were going to compete with
<v Speaker 2>the likes of the New York.
<v Speaker 1>Yankees with a super small salary coup. They had no
<v Speaker 1>money and they had to play ball.
<v Speaker 2>And it may not sound interesting, but it is gripping
<v Speaker 2>and very entertaining. Jonah Hill plays the He's kind of
<v Speaker 2>an amalgamation of a few different guys. But how they
<v Speaker 2>had to take this team He calls him like an
<v Speaker 2>island of misfit toys to go compete.
<v Speaker 1>I've read at least the first part of the Moneyball book,
<v Speaker 1>and the character Brad Pitt's character, the guy that he's busting, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>is a fantastically interesting guy. I loved just learning the
<v Speaker 1>history that you don't get in the movie when you
<v Speaker 1>read the book. But yeah, the movie is brilliant and
<v Speaker 1>an early performance by Chris Pratt. That's right.
<v Speaker 2>He plays Scott Haddiberg. Yeah, the guy that they're going
<v Speaker 2>to turn into a first basement. And he's like, see,
<v Speaker 2>it's not that hard. Tell him Washington, He's like, it's
<v Speaker 2>incredibly hard.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And in case you can't tell. At this point,
<v Speaker 1>Jason has no idea what my list. We don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what his list is. We are
<v Speaker 1>going into this blind, just to make it as fun
<v Speaker 1>and it's conversational as possible.
<v Speaker 2>When you were asking me how to pronounce French words
<v Speaker 2>before we started, I got really nervous.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So to be fair, I haven't included any documentaries
<v Speaker 1>in this, which I might, but with the way the
<v Speaker 1>type of movies that we covered, I didn't think that
<v Speaker 1>was the right thing to talk about. There's some great
<v Speaker 1>documentaries exit through the gift shop, go check it out.
<v Speaker 1>He wrote Dreams of Sushi, go check it out. I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw that out there. I also didn't do any
<v Speaker 1>foreign language movies. There are a couple of them out
<v Speaker 1>there that are brilliant, the Untouchables. I've heard parasites really good.
<v Speaker 1>I still haven't seen him seen yet, but I didn't
<v Speaker 1>do any for language movies either. Have you seen Free Solo? No, no,
<v Speaker 1>I haven't. I know what it is, but I haven't
<v Speaker 1>seen it. I get the guy's name is Alex Harnhold.
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah. And you know, climbs without ropes, without
<v Speaker 1>ropes at all, and climbs like like ten thousands of
<v Speaker 1>feet like straight up, like not even not even vertical,
<v Speaker 1>but like at an incline where he's going backwards. It's crazy.
<v Speaker 1>He's got to see it. Yeah, you got to see
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. Okay, all right, we're on whenever I think
<v Speaker 1>we're selling number six, Yeah, six, I'll go my number six.
<v Speaker 1>All right, here we go, get my number six. Snatch
<v Speaker 1>Snatch Snatched by Guy Ritchie. It has has the guys
<v Speaker 1>from Lockstock two smoking barrels in it. Brad Pittson it right.
<v Speaker 1>Brad pitt plays a pikey, which is kind of like
<v Speaker 1>the English Irish version of a gypsy, and he is
<v Speaker 1>a boxer. And Guy Ritchie's movies are all fantastic. The
<v Speaker 1>Sherlock Holmes movies could have easily in this spot, but
<v Speaker 1>Snatch is just a little bit better than those movies
<v Speaker 1>to me. But he does some amazing things with boxing
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of those movies, and the way that
<v Speaker 1>he tells the story, his use of slow motion, and
<v Speaker 1>the twist at the end of this movie where you
<v Speaker 1>see that the people that you thought were stupid the
<v Speaker 1>whole time ended up being the brilliant playmakers. It's fantastic.
<v Speaker 1>Have you not seen it? Never seen it? Okay? So
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell a story that goes along with this. My
<v Speaker 1>brother in law was telling my mother in law how
<v Speaker 1>awesome this movie was and that she needed to see it.
<v Speaker 1>And like when he first said something, she slapped him
<v Speaker 1>because Snatch has a different you know, meanings right right.
<v Speaker 1>And then she went to Hastings back when Hastings was
<v Speaker 1>still a thing and says, I'm looking for the movie Crotch.
<v Speaker 1>That's good, that's good. Okay. Number six three, number six
<v Speaker 1>for me, Okay, we're moving into the heavy hitters.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you ready?
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Number six is the two thousand than six.
<v Speaker 2>Movie Casino Royale, directed by Martin Campbell.
<v Speaker 1>First movie Alligate with Daniel Craig.
<v Speaker 2>You have Eva Green, who I fall in love with
<v Speaker 2>every single time I watched this.
<v Speaker 1>You get the introduction of Made Michelson. You got Judy
<v Speaker 1>Dench's m It is brilliant. I've got it higher ranked
<v Speaker 1>than you have it. Okay, we'll talk about it more
<v Speaker 1>when we get a little further onto the podcast. Okay. Five,
<v Speaker 1>all right, So my number five Step Brothers start too,
<v Speaker 1>directed by Adam McKay, who brought us Talladega Knights and
<v Speaker 1>then reunites Will Ferrell and John c Riley for some
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest humor of all time. We used like
<v Speaker 1>a quote from one of their movies in one of
<v Speaker 1>our very first episodes when we were talking about Van Halen,
<v Speaker 1>did you use my drums? It's weird because it looks
<v Speaker 1>like somebody has been using my drums.
<v Speaker 2>Nope, that movie is awesome. It is outside of my
<v Speaker 2>top ten. It is definitely not for the kids. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>but if you want to see something even funnier than
<v Speaker 2>Step Brothers, the twenty minute outtakes on YouTube will leave
<v Speaker 2>you in stitches.
<v Speaker 1>Oh I gotta watch that. Oh my gosh. So those
<v Speaker 1>two guys together are brilliant. They're absolutely freaking brilliant, except whenever.
<v Speaker 1>Apparently they make Holmes and Watson. Apparently that was a
<v Speaker 1>shite show to be seen. Yep. Okay, so we're midway through. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>we've got our five, our first five, right, so it
<v Speaker 1>was first six. I got to say this. There are
<v Speaker 1>a few movies that I haven't seen that I just
<v Speaker 1>want to mention. They might make the list had I
<v Speaker 1>seen them. But I haven't seen The Master by Paul
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Anderson, who is one of my favorite directors of
<v Speaker 1>all times. When you look at other top ten lists
<v Speaker 1>of movies of the twenty first century, usually there will
<v Speaker 1>be blood Is on there by Paul Thomas Anderson absolutely
<v Speaker 1>hated that movie. Really, But I love Boogie Knights, I
<v Speaker 1>love Love Magnolia, and I think I probably would like
<v Speaker 1>The Master, but I just haven't seen it yet seen
<v Speaker 1>it either. I haven't seen get Out by Jordan Peel,
<v Speaker 1>which I heard is fantastic. I haven't seen Moonlight by
<v Speaker 1>Barry Jenkins, and I still haven't seen Anchorman, which I've
<v Speaker 1>heard is even funnier than Stepbrothers. I would disagree with
<v Speaker 1>that statement. I have seen Anchorman, but of those four
<v Speaker 1>or five that you mentioned, yeah, I've only seen Ankerman okay,
<v Speaker 1>so Anchorman. We started watching it as a family and
<v Speaker 1>after about three and a half second and so we
<v Speaker 1>were like, oh nope, this isn't get appropriate. We've got
<v Speaker 1>to turn this off right now. You were braved even
<v Speaker 1>a tenth down PG. Thirteen. It's not an horror movie.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, tits speagee.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, we'll we on number five for you. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>all right. Number five is a movie that we have
<v Speaker 1>podcasted on. Oh wow.
<v Speaker 2>It is the two thousand Ridley Scott epic movie Gladiator.
<v Speaker 2>I figured to be in Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius,
<v Speaker 2>father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife,
<v Speaker 2>and he will.
<v Speaker 1>Have his benches star of a horrible movie. You are
<v Speaker 1>smoking drugs. I know, I know I'm in the minority
<v Speaker 1>of guys who don't like Gladiator, but I just don't
<v Speaker 1>like it. I don't like it. You are crazy. It's
<v Speaker 1>definitely on a whole lot of these lists, but.
<v Speaker 2>It's a whole lot of style. The plot is very straightforward.
<v Speaker 2>It's straight on revenge picture but man stylistically, and you
<v Speaker 2>got walking fiend Nixon and Connie Nielsen is his sister love.
<v Speaker 1>It all right, ready for number four? Yes, four, all right,
<v Speaker 1>number four for me? Yes, Ratitude have yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Right.
<v Speaker 1>So we talked at the beginning, and Pixar movies are
<v Speaker 1>top notch for this entire century, right, yes, And so
<v Speaker 1>I had to pick one of them because I didn't
<v Speaker 1>want to do all of them. Right. But as it
<v Speaker 1>turns out, there was really only a couple that were
<v Speaker 1>even in the running. Okay, Finding Nemo was in the running. Okay.
<v Speaker 1>But Ratitude speaks to me on a personal level because
<v Speaker 1>I love food. I love food, I love cooking, and
<v Speaker 1>my family will routinely I'm like, hey, want watch Gratitude.
<v Speaker 1>You are Ratitude, but you've got Brad Bird do Brilliant,
<v Speaker 1>who is yeah, who has proven himself not only in
<v Speaker 1>the animation world, but also in Mission impos Action, Mission Impossible,
<v Speaker 1>Ghost Protocol, one of the best Mission Impossibles of all time.
<v Speaker 1>That's true. And that's another great series that I didn't
<v Speaker 1>I didn't include any from I didn't include any Lord
<v Speaker 1>of the Rings, I didn't include any Harry Potters. I've
<v Speaker 1>seen them all. They're good, they're watchable, but they're not
<v Speaker 1>on my top ten. Brad Bird did Iron, Giant Iron, Giant. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>that's where I was going with that. Yeah, Iron Giant,
<v Speaker 1>which is fantastic. That one may have flown under your radar. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of his first one out of the gate. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's brilliant. Yeah, I love it. Old school animation, not
<v Speaker 1>not pixarts, that's true. Yeah, okay, what's your norm for it?
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, I gotta tell you that the thing that
<v Speaker 1>you're like, you're looking up French words so gratitudey that
<v Speaker 1>they make. Yes, everybody's like, that's not ratitude. So it's
<v Speaker 1>a style of ratitudey called called fi BLD and it's
<v Speaker 1>a different way of making it. It's sliced, thin and
<v Speaker 1>baked instead of stewed like a normal ratitude would be.
<v Speaker 1>But I just thought I would share that little bit
<v Speaker 1>of French with you today.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, thank you, you're blowing my mind. So my number
<v Speaker 2>four movie is a movie from two thousand and six
<v Speaker 2>called Limitless.
<v Speaker 1>All right, that is a great movie. Thank you. That
<v Speaker 1>Actually that bypassed everything. I don't know how I didn't
<v Speaker 1>come up on my radar when I was looking cracking
<v Speaker 1>things down, but that's that's a top notch film. When
<v Speaker 1>I watched that for the first time. Yeah, I got
<v Speaker 1>to the end. This has happened a couple of times
<v Speaker 1>in my life a few times.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hit stop, you know on the DVD, right,
<v Speaker 2>and just started over.
<v Speaker 1>I just immediately started over.
<v Speaker 2>It's a works as a fantasy film, like what could
<v Speaker 2>I be if I had this magical miracle drug called
<v Speaker 2>I think it's called MZTZT and it opens up the
<v Speaker 2>part of your brain that allows you to become all
<v Speaker 2>your potential. Right, And so Radley Cooper, he's smarter than
<v Speaker 2>everybody in the room. He knows everything, He's got everything
<v Speaker 2>organized in his head to do exactly what he needs
<v Speaker 2>to do. He does make some really stupid decisions, but
<v Speaker 2>you got to have some peril in the movie, you.
<v Speaker 1>Know, right, it's kind of Flowers for Algernon meets Mission
<v Speaker 1>Impossible meets Train Spotting. I mean it's you got all
<v Speaker 1>kinds of fantastic stuff going on. It's fantastic. Great movie. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that is a rewatchable movie. That's it. I mean, that's it.
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about best movies and we didn't really establish
<v Speaker 1>any criteria. But I had to think to myself, what
<v Speaker 1>are these movies? Would I rewatch a lot of them?
<v Speaker 1>I would rewatch, but that doesn't that's not necessarily the
<v Speaker 1>only criteria some movies. Schindler's List, amazing movie. I don't
<v Speaker 1>have a desire to go back and rewatch it over
<v Speaker 1>and over.
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, my list are this is the top ten
<v Speaker 2>movies that entertained me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, all right, so we're at number three. We're
<v Speaker 1>number three, already number three, already three, So back to
<v Speaker 1>Casino Royale. That was my number three movie. I can
<v Speaker 1>remember when I heard about this coming out, there was
<v Speaker 1>a lot of talk because, hey, this is not the
<v Speaker 1>Origin story. Because they finally got the rights to Casino Royale.
<v Speaker 1>You know, we discussed it in our Bond Versus Bond episode,
<v Speaker 1>the the Origin stories, and somebody bought the rights to
<v Speaker 1>Casino Royale before Kobe Brockley and Eon Productions ever started
<v Speaker 1>doing those things, and so they never had the rights
<v Speaker 1>to Casino Royale. It ended up getting made as first
<v Speaker 1>as a TV movie and then as like a spoof movie, right,
<v Speaker 1>kind of the precursor to Austin Powers, right, But it
<v Speaker 1>never had been made as a serious Eon Production's Bond movie.
<v Speaker 1>And then we had because it was the Origin story,
<v Speaker 1>we had a new James Bond and he was blonde.
<v Speaker 1>I know, right, people were freaking out about that. I
<v Speaker 1>can remember watching this for the first two scenes in
<v Speaker 1>this movie, the black and white scene where he gets
<v Speaker 1>his second kill for his double low yep, and being like,
<v Speaker 1>this is kicking my butt. And then they moved to
<v Speaker 1>the chase scene where the bomb maker is doing parkour
<v Speaker 1>through the construction site and he's following right along and
<v Speaker 1>they're battling on top of a freaking crane and I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>holy poop, this is freaking brilliant. Yeah, it's awesomest chase
<v Speaker 1>scene in the history of all chase scenes ever. Top
<v Speaker 1>square bag with that. Best James Bond movie without question,
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion. I just saw the most recent one.
<v Speaker 1>It was good. It was good. It was really good.
<v Speaker 1>No Time to Die And we talked a little bit
<v Speaker 1>about that. How there's a line from the George Lazenbie Yes,
<v Speaker 1>thank you George Lazmbie on Our Majesty's Secret Service yep.
<v Speaker 2>For those of you who are familiar with the older
<v Speaker 2>movies movies, yeah, when he says to his bride bride, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>we have all the time in the world. That's a
<v Speaker 2>throwback to on our Majesty's secret service.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. They throw in that line in this movie early on,
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, Cras, suddenly he's about to die,
<v Speaker 1>because that's what happens in the George Lassopie thing. But
<v Speaker 1>that's not what happened in this movie. And then they
<v Speaker 1>bring it back with a button later on and say,
<v Speaker 1>did the solo job job? Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>And like the Bond people who were freaking out because
<v Speaker 2>you had a blond Bond Yeah, okay, yeah, we're going
<v Speaker 2>to my number three movie where people were freaking out
<v Speaker 2>as well. Okay Heath Ledger as the Joker.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, before you say anymore, yes, save it, Okay, save it.
<v Speaker 1>That's my number three. That's your number three. I get it.
<v Speaker 1>I get it. Save your number three. All right, we'll
<v Speaker 1>come back, okay, all right. Two okay my number two. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>that's cool.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay.
<v Speaker 1>So Deadpool has got such it's such an incredible movie,
<v Speaker 1>and it's got such a good story behind it because
<v Speaker 1>they've been trying to make it for twelve years. When
<v Speaker 1>I when I was a little kid, I read comic books,
<v Speaker 1>and then I didn't read comic books for a long time,
<v Speaker 1>and then when I was about twenty twenty one. I
<v Speaker 1>started reading comic books again the mid nineties, and this
<v Speaker 1>brand new comic book came out called Deadpool, and I
<v Speaker 1>got issue number one and two and three. Ooh awesome.
<v Speaker 1>I loved it. So I've got this real connection with
<v Speaker 1>this character. Fast forward twenty years, twenty years, and they've
<v Speaker 1>done Wolverine origins and there's a Deadpool character in this movie.
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't seem the same, though, but I'm happy that, Hey,
<v Speaker 1>there's this guy. So there's all this motion going on.
<v Speaker 1>But basically Fox didn't want to have a rated R movie, right.
<v Speaker 1>They didn't want that, and they weren't going to fund it.
<v Speaker 1>And basically they put together this demo clip right and
<v Speaker 1>Fox saw it and they didn't think it was that great,
<v Speaker 1>and so they didn't green light the movie. And then
<v Speaker 1>somehow the demo clip leaked. And when the demo clip leaked,
<v Speaker 1>everybody went nuts. They were like, this movie has to happen.
<v Speaker 1>How is this movie not happened yet? This is the
<v Speaker 1>superhero movie that we have all been waiting for. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it was Tim Miller, the director that
<v Speaker 1>leaked it. I don't know if it was Ryan Reynolds
<v Speaker 1>who leaked it right. But I am confident that there
<v Speaker 1>was a tactical move to get the public bought in
<v Speaker 1>on this, and then they delivered fantastic, hilarious, makes fun
<v Speaker 1>of itself, makes fun of the fact that the studio
<v Speaker 1>won't give it any budget. It's like, it's kind of
<v Speaker 1>weird when I come to this house. There's only two
<v Speaker 1>mutants here. It's almost as though the studio didn't have
<v Speaker 1>the budget for anymore. Hey, Ryan Reynolds had been in
<v Speaker 1>a filled superhero movie Blade, he was in Green Lantern. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>Green Lantern too. Yeah, that was I mean, that was
<v Speaker 1>another reason. And Wolverine, the Origins Wolverine that was pretty bad.
<v Speaker 1>It was not good, and Green Lantern maybe even worse.
<v Speaker 1>And those were big budget movies. People hated Green Lantern.
<v Speaker 1>I actually thought it was good. You're talking about two million,
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty million for those two movies. Deadpool
<v Speaker 1>they made on a budget of fifty eight million that
<v Speaker 1>had gotten cut down like it was sixty something. They
<v Speaker 1>cut it down on day one to fifty eight million. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and they still made top notch movie. Love It. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's funny, it's super funny.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, number two, my.
<v Speaker 2>Number two My number two and I know you wanted
<v Speaker 2>to rip me for having Dark Knight at number three. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>Dark Knight, hear me, people, Yeah, is not the best
<v Speaker 2>movie of two thousand and eight, the best movie of two.
<v Speaker 1>Thousand and eight. And I had to take a long,
<v Speaker 1>hard look in the mirror.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, because this movie entertained me more than the
<v Speaker 2>Dark Knight did.
<v Speaker 1>Okay. The original Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man is my
<v Speaker 1>number two movie. This gave birth to the Marvel Universe.
<v Speaker 1>It did. And Robert Downey Jr.
<v Speaker 2>As Tony Stark is as much fun and as interesting
<v Speaker 2>as Irony, and that is a rare.
<v Speaker 1>This movie is appropriate to be on your list because
<v Speaker 1>it was the reason that we have the Marvel Universe. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>there is no question it is the reason. It's the
<v Speaker 1>reason you. Jon Favreau knocked it out of the park,
<v Speaker 1>John Bugate John Favreau as a producer, director, writer, He's brilliant.
<v Speaker 1>We've seen from Mandalorian, He's brilliant. We've seen from his
<v Speaker 1>other movies. He's brilliant. Chef by the way, another food movie.
<v Speaker 1>I love that movie also great. Yes, and then you
<v Speaker 1>combine him with Robert Downey Junior who brings his own
<v Speaker 1>personality in the character of Tony Stark. It's it's absolutely appropriate.
<v Speaker 1>It's not on my list, but I can totally see
<v Speaker 1>why it's on it. Thank you. You know who was
<v Speaker 1>originally supposed to be Iron Man before Robert Downey Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Like ten years prior Tom Cruise as Tony Stark. Now, listen,
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about our alternate universe before. Yeah, Robert Downey Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Is Tony Stark. He is.
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely imber sent think he is a perfect fit.
<v Speaker 2>But I still want to see that Tom Cruise movie
<v Speaker 2>with him.
<v Speaker 1>Started Tony Stark.
<v Speaker 2>Sure, okay, all right, So let's talk about our honorable
<v Speaker 2>mentions before we get to our.
<v Speaker 1>Number one movie. Okay, hit me with your honorable mentions. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>well I'll do one, You do one, and then we
<v Speaker 1>go go there. All right, Okay, sure, how many do
<v Speaker 1>you have? I have two? How about you do your
<v Speaker 1>two and I'll do the rest of mine.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, all right, I don't know what you're gonna
<v Speaker 2>slam me with here. Yeah, all right, okay, So my
<v Speaker 2>two honorable mentions. The first one honorable mentioned Number one
<v Speaker 2>is the Doug Lyman Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise
<v Speaker 2>from twenty fourteen.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a great one. Yeah, I really enjoyed that
<v Speaker 1>movie Edge of Tomorrow.
<v Speaker 2>And you may have seen the poster that says live Diary.
<v Speaker 2>I think that would have been a cooler name.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>But it's about this guy and he kind of gets
<v Speaker 2>in this time loop and it's like the end of
<v Speaker 2>hog Day. It's like Groundhog every day he has to
<v Speaker 2>die and he starts back, but he has a little
<v Speaker 2>bit more knowledge. Yeah, and you get a little bit
<v Speaker 2>further yep, and he has to save the world. And
<v Speaker 2>every day I run to a dead end. Boom, I'm dead.
<v Speaker 1>It's groundhog Day with soldiers and aliens. So good, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>what more could you ask? And Emily Blunt is sexy
<v Speaker 1>and smart and she's awesome. She's a bad a and yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and honestly, what should have This will be an honorable
<v Speaker 1>mention for me that I didn't actually have on my list,
<v Speaker 1>but a quiet place it should be on the list.
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen that. You've never seen a quiet I
<v Speaker 1>have never seen that. I was like, for a second,
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, it's still good. It's still good. I didn't
<v Speaker 1>have any horror ones on my list, that one and
<v Speaker 1>it if you get even throw in some horror movies,
<v Speaker 1>the Chapter one. Those are both brilliant, not my style,
<v Speaker 1>but brilliant movies that I thoroughly enjoyed, despite the fact
<v Speaker 1>that I'm a big horror guy. All right, here are
<v Speaker 1>my honorable mentions. You ready, I have a one one? Oh?
<v Speaker 1>All right? Do you want me no be trading bagon forth? No?
<v Speaker 1>You go ahead? Okay, Yeah, honor mention number two, number
<v Speaker 1>two for me. Yeah. Two thousand and three, Kevin Costner
<v Speaker 1>directed Open Range. I haven't seen it. Oh hear. It's great,
<v Speaker 1>but I have not seen I love it, man, I
<v Speaker 1>love it. It's thrilling. It's the whole you know.
<v Speaker 2>You run into a cattle baron and he hates free grazers,
<v Speaker 2>and by god, I'm gonna take charge of this town.
<v Speaker 2>And Kevin Costner and Robert Duval take on the cattle
<v Speaker 2>barons in this one town and it's it's the same
<v Speaker 2>bloot as every Western you've ever seen in your life,
<v Speaker 2>but the scope and the sprawling scenery and the shootout
<v Speaker 2>at the end is better than anything. It's kind of
<v Speaker 2>like when you watch Star Wars and you think, man,
<v Speaker 2>this is great, and then you watch Mandaloria and you're like, whoa,
<v Speaker 2>this is fantastic. They've upped the thrill and the action
<v Speaker 2>and the shootout at the end. I love open Range.
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen Yellingstone. I've seen one or two episodes.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I've heard it's fantastick an Eye. I've seen maybe
<v Speaker 1>one or two episodes. I haven't really got to sit
<v Speaker 1>down and watch it, but I've heard it's brilliant. But
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Costner and a cowboy hat and a horse probably
<v Speaker 1>going to be good.
<v Speaker 2>We talked about how it's cowboys and baseballs for him.
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys and baseballs, right yep?
<v Speaker 2>Dances with wolves and open range, Wyatt or flashback to
<v Speaker 2>our Tombstone episode we talked about last week.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Kim customer, cowboy hat. Okay, you're ready for my
<v Speaker 1>honorable questions? Yeah? I have just a couple more than
<v Speaker 1>you did. Dude, this was a hard This is really hot.
<v Speaker 1>I had like Thirtying the Rules, thirty five movies on
<v Speaker 1>my list, so I'm just gonna run through them all right,
<v Speaker 1>you ready? The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Whiplash,
<v Speaker 1>The Prestige that departed Ocean's eleven No Country for Old Men.
<v Speaker 1>The heat hilarious and you can watch it with your wife,
<v Speaker 1>not your kids, but with your wife. Catch me if
<v Speaker 1>you can rewatchable over and over and over again, love
<v Speaker 1>it and inglorious bastards. I'm surprised that wasn't on your list.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I was. I was hard pressed to. Any of
<v Speaker 1>those movies could easily jump into my top ten at anybody.
<v Speaker 1>I saw that on the first time last week and
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about it. Yeah, and it was awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen Jango and Chained? I have not seen
<v Speaker 1>Django and Chain. It's also brilliant. See I like Once
<v Speaker 1>upon a Time in Hollywood? And you did not? I
<v Speaker 1>did not. No, I did not. I was gripped from
<v Speaker 1>the word go. Yeah, I was gripped and then I
<v Speaker 1>was let go and left hanging there for like another
<v Speaker 1>two hours. Got good for the last fifteen minutes. I
<v Speaker 1>need to watch Jango? Yeah you do. All right, we're
<v Speaker 1>right at number one.
<v Speaker 3>One.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm gonna say my number one is because you've
<v Speaker 1>already brought it up. My number one has to be
<v Speaker 1>The Dark Knight. Okay, Okay, So let me just say
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Nolan is the director of this century, right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he had a small budget movie that he made before
<v Speaker 1>he made Memento, but Memento came out in two thousand.
<v Speaker 1>I watched it last night. It was on my list.
<v Speaker 1>Inception was on my life. I just took him out
<v Speaker 1>and I just said, I'm going to mention them when
<v Speaker 1>I talk about The Dark Knight, because they're both brilliant.
<v Speaker 1>But Dark Knight has to be the number one movie,
<v Speaker 1>because number one, you're taking the greatest director of the
<v Speaker 1>last twenty years and you're throwing in as you mentioned,
<v Speaker 1>Heath Ledger in the performance of his Life. It's brilliant, man,
<v Speaker 1>it is so good. And I've studied the way that
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Nolan does stuff, and he's so mathematical in the
<v Speaker 1>way that he puts the movie together, like as he
<v Speaker 1>designs the movie, the way he puts it together, very
<v Speaker 1>mathematical about how things are arranged. There's a musical trick, okay,
<v Speaker 1>and you can maybe we throw this in here. It's
<v Speaker 1>called Shepherd tone. And basically what it is is that
<v Speaker 1>you have three tones that are all rising at the
<v Speaker 1>same time but are not the same tone, and then
<v Speaker 1>the highest of those tones will drop an octave while
<v Speaker 1>the other two continue to rise, and then the next
<v Speaker 1>highest will drop, and they continue, and it creates this
<v Speaker 1>illusion of continually escalating and pitched even though it's not.
<v Speaker 1>It's really kind of crazy to play us on clicker.
<v Speaker 1>He does that with his movies. He takes three different
<v Speaker 1>storylines and he says, Okay, I'm gonna up the ante
<v Speaker 1>on this story, then the ante on the next story,
<v Speaker 1>then up the ante on the third story, and then
<v Speaker 1>when you have a break on story number one, you're
<v Speaker 1>already at the climax of story number three. It's all
<v Speaker 1>just so so brilliantly handled, and he minimal cgi despite
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's doing big, giant, complex stuff like
<v Speaker 1>Inception Interstellar. The man is a genius. He knows how
<v Speaker 1>to put his story together. This is what his theory is.
<v Speaker 1>I put the camera in such a place as you
<v Speaker 1>feel like you're in the movie with whoever the actors are,
<v Speaker 1>and what we have is the creation of the greatest
<v Speaker 1>movies of the last twenty years. Top of that list,
<v Speaker 1>pinnacle of that list has to be The Dark Knight.
<v Speaker 2>I can't argue with you. I mean, I bleue my
<v Speaker 2>friggin doors off. It is amazing and I'm a big
<v Speaker 2>fan of Batman eighty nine. Maybe we got a tussle
<v Speaker 2>about these two next season.
<v Speaker 1>Are you teasing this up already? I am yeah, all right,
<v Speaker 1>so we are already preparing for season number three. I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw this out there. So first, very first part
<v Speaker 1>of season number three, we are going to be discussing
<v Speaker 1>Batman eighty nine versus The Dark Knight, and we will
<v Speaker 1>do it in such a way that we will also
<v Speaker 1>be discussing the new Batman movie called The Batman. I pray,
<v Speaker 1>I pray that it holds up. Pray that holds up.
<v Speaker 2>I know right, it's gonna be awesome. That is a
<v Speaker 2>epic episode that I can't wait to get into.
<v Speaker 1>They have done a really good job with the teasers
<v Speaker 1>and the trailers, so I'm hopeful that they deliver. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it looks good. Yeah, okay, I'm on the edge of
<v Speaker 1>my seat. I'm excited to hear what you have as your.
<v Speaker 2>My number one movie of the twenty first century. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>we have not mentioned.
<v Speaker 1>It, Okay, okay, you ready? Yeah? Are you nervous for me?
<v Speaker 1>I am yeah. I'm worried. I'm not gonna like it.
<v Speaker 2>I'll be shocked if you don't like it. I'll be
<v Speaker 2>shocked if you don't love it. It is the best
<v Speaker 2>superhero movie of the twenty first century. It is two
<v Speaker 2>thousand and fours The Incredibles, Brad Bird at his absolute best.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. You have Craig T.
<v Speaker 2>Nelson as Mister and Crable. You have Holly Hunter as
<v Speaker 2>Alasta Girl, you have Samuel L.
<v Speaker 1>Jackson as Frozone, you have Brad Bird as Edna, and
<v Speaker 1>you have Jason Lee as Syndrome. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>It is funny. It works as a superhero movie. It
<v Speaker 2>works as a family movie. It works as a spy movie.
<v Speaker 2>It has that sort of old sixties James Bond.
<v Speaker 1>Type of feel.
<v Speaker 2>It's absolutely entertaining. It's one hundred percent great for the kids.
<v Speaker 2>It's great for you. It is the best movie of
<v Speaker 2>the twenty first century.
<v Speaker 1>I can't argue with it. I can't argue with that.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's I don't agree necessarily, but I'm not
<v Speaker 1>faulting you because that is a fantastic movie. Fantastic movie. Yeah, Brilliance,
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thank you. Every time that comes on, I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>I'm busy for the next.
<v Speaker 2>Hour, all right, d I reached out to our good
<v Speaker 2>buddy James Buckley he's been with us pretty much since
<v Speaker 2>day one, and he's just been a great encourager and
<v Speaker 2>a great fan of ours. I asked him for his
<v Speaker 2>top ten of the twenty first century and here's what
<v Speaker 2>he came up with.
<v Speaker 1>Hi.
<v Speaker 4>Everyone, this is James b Uley and Louisiana. Jason asked
<v Speaker 4>me to chime in with my top ten movies of
<v Speaker 4>the twenty first century and why I don't get to
<v Speaker 4>see near as many movies as I like these days.
<v Speaker 4>There have been quite a few films over the past
<v Speaker 4>few decades have really stuck with me. Coming in at
<v Speaker 4>number ten, we have Sean of the Dead. In this movie,
<v Speaker 4>I think Edgar Wright produced the perfect horror comedy. It
<v Speaker 4>simultaneously embraced all the standard zombie movie tropes and also
<v Speaker 4>made fun of them. And what can I say about
<v Speaker 4>Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, They are a comedy dream team. Next,
<v Speaker 4>we have The Raid Redemption, which was a twenty eleven
<v Speaker 4>Indonesian film produced by a Welshman, Gareth Evans, and it
<v Speaker 4>really showed how far you could take the genre. If
<v Speaker 4>you've ever seen the Carl Urban Judge dread movie, you've
<v Speaker 4>basically seen a watered down version of this movie, but
<v Speaker 4>I highly recommend the original, even though Judge Dread is
<v Speaker 4>the Law. Coming in at number eight, we have High Fidelity,
<v Speaker 4>which was in early two thousand's John Cusack romantic comedy.
<v Speaker 4>This is not my favorite genre, but I take an
<v Speaker 4>exception of this movie. It's based on one of my
<v Speaker 4>favorite books by Nick Hornsby, and I spent a lot
<v Speaker 4>of time in record stores in the nineties and I
<v Speaker 4>met so many people who were just like Jack Black's
<v Speaker 4>obnoxious clerk that this one really resonated with me. Coming
<v Speaker 4>in at number seven, we have Casino Royle, which I
<v Speaker 4>think is the most fully realized James Bond movie we
<v Speaker 4>have yet to see. Daniel Craig really could have stepped
<v Speaker 4>off the pages of Ian Fleming's novels. That's not to
<v Speaker 4>cast dispersions at Sean Connery or Roger Moore any of
<v Speaker 4>the other James Bonds, but Craig really seemed to embody
<v Speaker 4>Fleming's original concept of the character well. The subsequent movie
<v Speaker 4>has left me neither shaken north starred. This is a
<v Speaker 4>fantastic film. Number six, we have Unbreakable, which was m
<v Speaker 4>Night Shyamalan's follow up to the sixth sense. It was
<v Speaker 4>such an understated approach to the superhero genre that at
<v Speaker 4>first I wasn't sure what I was watching, But as
<v Speaker 4>Shyamalan stripped away the various layers, you realize that, hey,
<v Speaker 4>Bruce Willis is a superhero, and he's also a balding superhero,
<v Speaker 4>which gave me hope as my hairline steadily retreated. After this,
<v Speaker 4>Shimalan seemed to wonder in the cinematic wilderness for a
<v Speaker 4>few years, trying to find his direction, and I think
<v Speaker 4>he rebounded quite admirably just a few years ago when
<v Speaker 4>he Really Split, which is the Mber five movie in
<v Speaker 4>my list. James mclvoy had a fantastic turn in this movie,
<v Speaker 4>playing so many roles from Patricia down and of course,
<v Speaker 4>in true Shaman fashion, there was a twist which I
<v Speaker 4>never saw coming. I'm not gonna give away any spoilers,
<v Speaker 4>but let's just say it relates back to my previous
<v Speaker 4>pick number four. We have Guardians of the Galaxy, which
<v Speaker 4>is you know, Marvel has released a lot of movies
<v Speaker 4>over the past decade or so, and this is one
<v Speaker 4>of my favorites. It was such a fun film. You
<v Speaker 4>could tell Chris Pratt was having an absolute Ball as
<v Speaker 4>Starterward and I was glad to see this was such
<v Speaker 4>a breakout role for him. And how can we forget
<v Speaker 4>Vin Diesel turning in his best dramatic performance as the
<v Speaker 4>Talking tree grout number three, we have another Marvel movie.
<v Speaker 4>This one really kicked off the whole MCU universe. It
<v Speaker 4>was Iron Man, and you could not have cast Tony
<v Speaker 4>Stark any better than he did. They did with Robert
<v Speaker 4>Downey Junior. The parallels between the characters' lives and Robert's
<v Speaker 4>lives are amazing, but man, you could tell down he
<v Speaker 4>was also having an absolute blast in this role, and
<v Speaker 4>I was glad to see him also making such a
<v Speaker 4>major comeback. At number two, we have John Wick, which
<v Speaker 4>just as easily have been number one. This really revitalized
<v Speaker 4>the extra genre. Keanu Reeves turned in a killer performance
<v Speaker 4>snow pun intended amazing fight scenes and as a dog
<v Speaker 4>Loverina who couldn't really sympathize with John. Finally coming in
<v Speaker 4>at number one, we have the Return of the King,
<v Speaker 4>the conclusion of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This
<v Speaker 4>most epic conclusion to the most epic of epic storylines
<v Speaker 4>was truly deserving of all the praise It got fantastic performances,
<v Speaker 4>outstanding set pieces, and it really wrapped up all the
<v Speaker 4>stories plot threads in a very rousing, satisfying way. I'm
<v Speaker 4>sure JR. Tolkien was smiling down somewhere. Al Right, guys,
<v Speaker 4>that's it. This list obviously is subject to change, and
<v Speaker 4>there were quite a few runners up that could just
<v Speaker 4>as easily have made the top ten.
<v Speaker 1>But I hope this helps. Thanks. Have a great day,
<v Speaker 1>all right.
<v Speaker 5>James providing some new nuggets that I got to go
<v Speaker 5>test out. That Indonesian thing, the Redemption things sounded good.
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to go look at that one.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've never heard of that one.
<v Speaker 5>He had some similar ones to us. He had Casino Royal,
<v Speaker 5>James Royal. I thought they spoke French in Louisiana Royale
<v Speaker 5>with cheese, and then he had Jurors had an iron
<v Speaker 5>Man on there.
<v Speaker 3>I know if they number two, Yeah, I was happy
<v Speaker 3>about that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. He had no Dark Knight, No, no Dark Knight.
<v Speaker 5>But I can't fault him for Unbreakable either. That's a
<v Speaker 5>really good one, and Guardians of the Galaxy is definitely
<v Speaker 5>one of the best, I'd say number two Marvel movie
<v Speaker 5>of all of them.
<v Speaker 1>Awesome, awesome, thanks a bunch, James.
<v Speaker 5>We really appreciate you man.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, James, thank you as always, we appreciate you. We'll
<v Speaker 1>see you down the line. Well, we want to hear
