1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,040
You know what Sony had the Holy 
Trinity? 

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,400
Leo, Brad and Marco. 
Who do you have? 

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,240
Hello and welcome to boy party 
the podcast the tackles cinemas 

4
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,040
most legendary team UPS films 
were two major stars share the 

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,880
screen and battle it out for 
screen time top billing the 

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,720
fighter paycheck in the most 
claimed my name is Lisa one 

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,920
daily and I am joined by the guy
who murdered his wife. 

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,520
He ended up here with me, but he
does our taxes, so we like him. 

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,520
It's Shane Kelly. 
I didn't burn my wife. 

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,520
The the Lord fucked me. 
The Lord. 

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,360
Fucked you? 
Is that what he says? 

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Is it the Lord of the lawyer? 
The lawyer is it. 

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,440
All the God that I think the 
line in this movie is that Oh, 

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,360
my lawyer was a fucking use that
that's how these guys. 

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Until I watched it this time I 
always thought the phrase was 

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,240
the Lord fucked me, no. 
I didn't think the Lord is 

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,160
fucking anyone, no. 
People like the Lord and Josh. 

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,280
Yeah, I get the sense that like 
these guys cheekily are like, 

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,920
look, I, I know I did the crime.
No, my lawyer was bad. 

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,840
It's a way of just kind of 
brushing the the the industry. 

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,320
Is like a prison gets Prison is 
probably a much more pleasant 

22
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,200
place to be if everyone there is
innocent. 

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Yes, Yeah. 
No. 

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,200
Criminals. 
Yeah. 

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,040
And there's no one. 
There's a bunch of nice guys who

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,600
don't deserve to be here. 
Yeah, of course. 

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,400
Hello and welcome to the 
podcast. 

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,840
This is the greatest film of all
time. 

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,200
The Shashank Redemption this. 
Is the greatest film of all 

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,480
time. 
I'd say the 52nd best film we've

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,720
done on this podcast, maybe 
something like that. 

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,720
Top half. 
I don't know, I don't know. 

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,880
Right. 
It's right in the middle. 

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Probably right in the middle. 
I don't hate this film. 

35
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:40,160
I think this film has a lot 
going for it. 

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,840
Dare I say this might be the 
most overrated film of all time?

37
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920
I think it's not. 
And I know I'm turning into the 

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880
fucking guy in The Newsroom 
who's like, write an article, 

39
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,400
most overrated movies, and Dev 
Patel shows up and is like, this

40
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,160
is not journalism, this is 
negativity. 

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,640
You disappoint me. 
But in that movie, they're like 

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,080
the Godfather, an Avatar. 
But I'm like, I think the 

43
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,960
Shawshank Redemption quality 
relative to cultural standing, 

44
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,039
it's in the mix. 
But what? 

45
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,960
What do people latch onto so 
much in this SO? 

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,160
It's a, it's a straight male 
emotional catharsis thing. 

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,600
I think this is a film that 
obviously taps into something 

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,440
where men who do not know how to
express their feelings are able 

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,480
to cry at it without a sense of 
being silly or shame. 

50
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,040
And they love rewatching it. 
And it has become a emotional 

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,360
totem pole for like, a certain 
type of man who doesn't really 

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,640
engage with like, sad films. 
I don't know men like that. 

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,720
So it's hard for me to 
understand. 

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,640
I guess it has a particularly 
inspiring narrative in that if 

55
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,000
you are just patient enough for 
long enough, you will get your 

56
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
nice thing. 
Yeah. 

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,760
And kind of don't. 
It's. 

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,840
A religious thing. 
It's it's a, it's a Christian 

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,920
narrative. 
A little bit. 

60
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:02,600
There's also I think, yeah, the 
picture picture like the type of

61
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,400
man we interact with the least. 
People who you know drink at the

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,840
Black Forge go to Benidorm on 
holiday. 

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Fucking 50 tags on their 
Instagram captions. 

64
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,080
Loads of fake tan picture that 
type of guy. 

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Sure. 
That type of man is going to be 

66
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,880
inspired by this movie because 
it's like crime is bad, but like

67
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,840
if you're in prison, everyone's 
equal. 

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,560
And then at the other end of 
that there's a rainbow and you 

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,200
can be friends with other men 
based on a shared sense of 

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,200
trauma. 
I mean, it's like it's a real 

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,000
basic. 
Is this is this structurally a 

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,960
war film as well? 
I suppose a little bit in terms 

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,040
of how it throws men into the 
situation where they have to 

74
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,240
bond with one another, I suppose
it is. 

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,520
I mean, prison movies are their 
own their own category, 

76
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800
obviously, but because there's a
lot more war movies than there 

77
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,280
are prison movies, you're right.
Maybe prison movies generally do

78
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,080
have to tap into the structures 
of something like a war movie. 

79
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,880
Yeah, you have your your battles
and your pression. 

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,280
I really like prison movies. 
I think it's like like if you 

81
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,240
tell me there's a prison movie 
coming out, I'm like cool, 

82
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,360
that's a cool sign for movie. 
And obviously we've got the 

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Damien Chazelle thing coming out
soon, but like I wouldn't rank 

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
this as highly as I would rank 
something like Cool. 

85
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,079
And Luke started up with Jack 
O'Connell, which is amazing. 

86
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Frank Berry's Irish film Michael
inside, which is great. 

87
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,240
Escape plan. 
No, this is better than escape 

88
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,520
plan at the Green Mile, which is
Darabont's follow up to this, 

89
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,240
which I think is I think is a 
bit better and probably helps 

90
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,400
that it has Tom Hanks in it, 
who, you know, with respect to 

91
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,680
the guys in this, Tim Robbins is
no Tom Hanks. 

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,160
So I think there's like prison 
movies actually have a really 

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,680
high ceiling for me. 
But this is like right down the 

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,280
middle, yeah. 
Sorry, I think the other way to 

95
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:48,000
view this is it's a bit of a 
fantasy of what if a smart guy 

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,520
went to prison. 
And I think people like to 

97
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,480
imagine themselves in that 
position where like. 

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,440
I'd be smarter than everyone 
else, actually, so I'd be fine. 

99
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,280
Yeah, I'd. 
Figure it out because I have a 

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,920
bit of. 
Intelligence, it's like, yeah, 

101
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,520
yeah, yeah, so. 
Probably appeals to the the the 

102
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Cam middle class person who has 
no history of violence at all. 

103
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,400
Yeah, yeah. 
This is what would happen if I 

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,680
murdered. 
Yeah, If I murdered my wife, 

105
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000
it'd be OK because I'd be able 
to talk my way out of it. 

106
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,360
They'd all love me in there. 
And eventually I'd be able to 

107
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,840
break out because I'd be so 
clever. 

108
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,480
Yeah. 
And like the Tim Robbins 

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,120
character in this movie, I mean,
he's kind of the worst guy we 

110
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,320
meet in there other than, other 
than the guys who are like 

111
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,720
assaulting people and, and, and 
going around, you know, with 

112
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,920
knives. 
Which mean the worst guy he's. 

113
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,960
Committed a really heinous 
crime. 

114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,040
He hasn't done it. 
He hasn't done it, no. 

115
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,000
Well, that's A twist at the end.
OK, fine. 

116
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,080
I was looking at it through the 
lens of believing he had done 

117
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,800
of. 
Course he hasn't done. 

118
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,120
He's white, nice middle class. 
We work in finance. 

119
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,400
But we do think he's done it, 
don't we? 

120
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,560
At the start? 
I find this I find this a little

121
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,920
bit confusing. 
Yeah, no, I, I I can't get 

122
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,720
sucked into the thinking he did 
this, considering this is such 

123
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,840
an omnipresent film and you kind
of know all the beats. 

124
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,120
I know. 
Just generally I'm. 

125
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Thinking like in the context of 
the prison, he has, as far as 

126
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,440
they're aware, killed his wife. 
They have no reason to believe 

127
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,480
him that he's innocent. 
So like he's like this white 

128
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,480
asshole rich guy, college 
educated man who had loads of 

129
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,640
money, had everything going for 
him, had loads of opportunity, 

130
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,800
did a stupid thing. 
His wife was cheating on him. 

131
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,200
He shot her. 
Yeah, like I would argue that 

132
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,000
like all of the other guys, like
the Freeman character and all 

133
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,360
the other black comics he's in 
there with are probably much 

134
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,520
less, have done much less 
egregious things. 

135
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,640
A lot of armed robbery and that 
kind of thing there. 

136
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,040
Like stuff where I'm like fine, 
whatever. 

137
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,080
They should probably be like 
ostracizing him. 

138
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,840
He's the worst. 
He's the worst fucking annoying 

139
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,040
prick in there, like. 
But again, and he's, I think 

140
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,440
this feeds into the the, the 
male glorification of this, of 

141
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600
that shooting your wife and her 
lover when they're cheating on 

142
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,600
you is fine. 
I think a little bit, yeah, 

143
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,800
Yeah. 
And I think when you pointed. 

144
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,960
Out. 
I think that is an honorable 

145
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,360
crime. 
Yes, we get to the average man 

146
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,200
in the 90s. 
End of this movie and it has 

147
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,920
this big sentimental ending. 
And you pointed out correctly, 

148
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,840
there's no thought given to the 
wife. 

149
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,800
This guy's wife died. 
Yeah, and no one. 

150
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Cares. 
He doesn't care. 

151
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,040
He's not thinking about his wife
at all. 

152
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,600
I mean, it's, it is 20 years 
later. 

153
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,680
Like he kind of would have 20 
years later. 

154
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,920
He's in there for 20 years. 
Oh, Jesus, They didn't do a lot 

155
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,080
of effort on the make up of 
this. 

156
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,040
I thought this was set over like
maybe eight or nine years. 

157
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,920
No, it's 20. 
That's crazy. 

158
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,160
I think you're right. 
OK, so he he gets in. 

159
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,360
Skinny hair is surprisingly 
good. 

160
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,800
Yeah, he gets in in 47 and. 
He's out in 67 I think, or 68. 

161
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Yeah, something like that. 68. 
That's crazy. 

162
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,280
God, he looks the exact same 
starting at the end. 

163
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,520
Yeah. 
I mean, I know it's 20 years 

164
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,000
ago, but, like, the guy doesn't 
talk about his wife in prison at

165
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,000
all. 
I get that. 

166
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,400
Yeah. 
Again, this film has this real, 

167
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480
like, male approach of like, 
once your wife cheats on you, 

168
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560
she may as well be dead, so who 
cares? 

169
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,080
And it's like, I don't know. 
I think it's beside his wife got

170
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,840
killed and he got blamed for the
murder. 

171
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560
He only seems to care about 
himself and his own innocence, 

172
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,920
not the fact that his wife is 
dead and that they've gotten it 

173
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,640
wrong. 
Oh, anyway, this is such. 

174
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480
A Whatever. 
You can't cover every, you can't

175
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,000
cover every angle of emotion, 
any. 

176
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,680
Women with speaking parts in 
this movie. 

177
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,200
Is there someone on the parole 
board? 

178
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,120
I don't think so, no. 
Sure, it's set in the 1950s. 

179
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,360
There'd be no women on the 
parole board. 

180
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Is there any woman with bank 
teller? 

181
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,520
No. 
No, Oh, there's the girl at the 

182
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,160
supermarket. 
Yeah, what a girl working at the

183
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,760
teller. 
Might not have dialogue though. 

184
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,160
What's his name again? 
Warehouse, the guy who dies. 

185
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,840
Yeah. 
Brooks. 

186
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,360
Brooks, Brooks Andy's wife is 
played by an actress, I'd say. 

187
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,919
As far as I recall, all she says
in this is like, Claire Slammer 

188
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,600
portrays Teller at the main 
National back. 

189
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,080
There you go. 
So there's three women in this 

190
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,680
movie. 
Yeah, and a couple of posters, 

191
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,800
obviously, who are characters of
themselves. 

192
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,880
So it's based on a on a novella 
called Rita Hayworth and the 

193
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,560
Shawshank Redemption. 
And I was always under the 

194
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,000
impression that this was because
the poster that he uses to cover

195
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,320
up his giant escape hole is 
called is as opposed to Rita 

196
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Hayworth. 
But then when you actually get 

197
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,960
to it in the film, it's a poster
of what's her face, Planet of 

198
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,920
the Apes. 
It's Rita Hayworth at the 

199
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,160
beginning. 
Rita Hayworth is who they're 

200
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,360
watching. 
They go through three. 

201
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Oh, they go through different 
posts. 

202
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Yeah, yeah. 
Because he goes up to Morgan 

203
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Freeman and he's like, can you 
get me, Rita? 

204
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,400
You're right, they have her at 
the start. 

205
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,240
They wrote it's kind that that 
is the that is to signify the 

206
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,000
passing of a time. 
Yeah, yeah, that's what they use

207
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,960
as their. 
And you're right, there's a 

208
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,320
good, there's a good scene where
they're watching, there's a 

209
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,680
scene where they're watching 
what Gilda or whatever in the 

210
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,440
cinema room and they're all 
yelping and catcalling. 

211
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,960
It's just like us with the 
Verity trailer and. 

212
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,720
But they're like nothing has 
happened like. 

213
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Look at her eyes. 
Yeah. 

214
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Oh, she's, she's just, she's 
just like swishing her hair 

215
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,760
around like it's great. 
It's the most like innocent film

216
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,600
being turned into a voyeurism 
ever. 

217
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Yes, it's ultimately a poster of
Raquel Welsh because it's the 

218
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:53,080
60s now, which is really funny. 
So yeah, everyone knows the plot

219
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,320
of this movie. 
He's a smart guy in prison. 

220
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,120
He uses his math skills to 
impress the warden who has like 

221
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,200
a bunch of like dodgy financial.
Stuff we seem either either one 

222
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920
money gambling or through a 
lottery or something. 

223
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,880
OK. 
And he's like he's chatting to 

224
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640
his boys and he's like, oh fuck,
I'm going to have to pay loads 

225
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,840
of taxes now on this not shit. 
And he's like and, and he pops 

226
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400
over and he's like, actually, if
you give it to your wife. 

227
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Yeah, it comes. 
As a gift and that's tax free. 

228
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
And he's a. 

229
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,040
Like I know people doing this 
shit now I will. 

230
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,680
So he uses this as a he uses 
this as leverage to like 

231
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,920
befriends the warden. 
The warden is played by a guy 

232
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,880
called Bob Gunton and I have 
added Bob Gunton to my list of 

233
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,520
people. 
I don't know if they are alive 

234
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,240
or dead. 
Sorry, the the man with the 

235
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,840
issue is the the main prison 
guard, yes. 

236
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,760
Yeah, not Bob Gunton. 
Bob Gunton learns of his skills 

237
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:43,520
and high. 
Recruits. 

238
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,280
Bob Gunton has his own dodgy 
stuff as well. 

239
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,040
A. 100% yeah, yeah. 
But his the initial reveal, yes,

240
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,400
is to the prison guard. 
Who is like, yeah. 

241
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,560
And there's also, he's helping 
people, like, do their kids 

242
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:55,440
college, financial plans and 
stuff. 

243
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Like, some of it is more 
innocent. 

244
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,280
Some of it is that he's just, 
like, helping people figure out 

245
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,280
how to, like, send their kids to
college. 

246
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,640
Yeah. 
The prison guards. 

247
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,080
Yeah. 
Because the crazy guard goes to 

248
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,560
visit him in solitary and is 
like, my kid got all A's today. 

249
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,520
And Tim Robbins is like, I don't
give a fuck. 

250
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,800
Fuck off. 
So he does a bunch of that and 

251
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,000
he befriends Reds, played by 
Morgan Freeman, and he goes, 

252
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,200
they call me Red because I'm 
Irish and he. 

253
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,480
OK, he was a contraband smuggler
before he got in and he gets a 

254
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,120
rock hammer and a big poster. 
So this is the basically the 

255
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,000
Chekhov's rock hammer. 
And it turns out he's been 

256
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,240
spending this entire time making
a hole behind his poster. 

257
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,760
Kind of a X Mac in a bit of a 
like lazy jump into a conclusion

258
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,200
thing where it's like he was he 
was planning his escape the 

259
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,400
entire time and nobody ever 
thought to look behind his 

260
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,600
poster. 
Why would you look behind the 

261
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,160
poster I. 
Feel like that's A twist that 

262
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,800
works in a short story more than
it works in a in a 2 1/2 hour 

263
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,240
film. 
It just feels. 

264
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,680
Like I can't remember if it's, 
if it's. 

265
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,080
You're going from zero to 100 
there. 

266
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Fine, but you also have to. 
I can't remember if this is 

267
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,720
considered a plot. 
On this We we didn't watch 

268
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,080
Cinema Sins. 
No, but is his cell on the end 

269
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,520
of the row? 
Exactly what would that wall 

270
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,440
lead? 
To. 

271
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,200
Sorry. 
Also, how far does he have to 

272
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,040
crawl into that hole by the 15th
year to to be digging? 

273
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,920
Like at the start he's just 
rocking. 

274
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,440
He's he's hitting away at his 
wall, right? 

275
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,040
Yeah, but then he starts to get 
into the wall, and then he has 

276
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,400
to start getting in behind the 
poster from crawling. 

277
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,240
In on his head, from what I can 
gauge, probably two or three 

278
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,840
meters. 
All right, just feels like he 

279
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,480
get caught to pass that they 
would walk by and see that he's 

280
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,000
not there because he's in behind
his poster in his little wall 

281
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,040
hole, I don't think. 
They were doing night 

282
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,360
inspections. 
He he learned the beats of this 

283
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,840
anyway he he figured out. 
Only they had CCTV. 

284
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,480
I don't know. 
That is a giant room of probably

285
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,280
men farting professionally. 
Yeah, true. 

286
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Just you. 
Think this has come from a true 

287
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,440
story. 
Is anything happened here? 

288
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,720
I'm sure fellows have dug the 
ray out of prison. 

289
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,920
Before yeah, dog, but I'm 
wondering about like dog digging

290
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,760
in behind a poster or whatever. 
I'm not sure so. 

291
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,320
It's it's it'll be very 
interesting to be a man trapped 

292
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,720
in prison for 20 years and 
progressively watching women's 

293
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,800
fashion change into lots of 
clothes to. 

294
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,640
Less and less clothes. 
It is funny, yeah. 

295
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,000
What about you think the outside
world? 

296
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,840
And then back again, and then 
back again. 

297
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,960
Frank Darabont bought this the 
rights to this story off of 

298
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,760
Stephen King for $5000. 
It's a 96 page novella. 

299
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,640
It's not too short and King said
I don't know how this is going 

300
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,200
to be a film because it's based 
on Red contemplating his fellow 

301
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,040
personality. 
So the book is from Red's 

302
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,520
perspective and and he probably 
doesn't have much autonomy or 

303
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,200
like, isn't much of A 
protagonist. 

304
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,920
And Stephen King never cashed 
the $5000 check and he framed it

305
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,720
and returned it. 
Starbot accompanied by a note 

306
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,560
which read in case you ever need
bail money. 

307
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:50,840
Love Steve. 
That's fun. 

308
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,440
That's nice. 
I mean, Seeking does not need 

309
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,280
$5000. 
Unlikely, no? 

310
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,640
I wrote the script over an 8 
week period. 

311
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,360
He expanded on elements of 
King's story. 

312
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Brooks is a minor character in 
the novella who dies in a 

313
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
retirement home, becomes a 
tragic character who eventually 

314
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,120
hangs himself. 
So yeah, I think the Brooks 

315
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,440
sequence is the kind of the 
keystone to understanding people

316
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,440
loving this movie so much 
because it is like Baby's first 

317
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:19,680
bottle episodes. 
Like as a viewer of prestige 

318
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,760
television, I am very familiar 
with the concept of the sixth 

319
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,280
episode of the season. 
We're going to go follow Brooks 

320
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,960
around for an hour. 
If Shawshank Redemption was ATV 

321
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,360
show, episode 6 would be the 
Brooks episode. 

322
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,360
Brooks gets out of prison, 
Brooks goes, lives his life. 

323
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Brooks dies at the end of the 
episode. 

324
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,640
They give Brooks fucking Emmy 
best guest actor award. 

325
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,480
There is a direct RIP off of 
this in Lost. 

326
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Where John Locke? 
I'm going to do a massive lot 

327
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,360
Lost spoiler now guys, this is 
like season 5 of Lost so cover 

328
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,280
your ears folks. 
What are the main characters 

329
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,680
I've lost? 
As far as I recall, John Locke 

330
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,560
leaves the island, gets this 
kind of like into this situation

331
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040
where he doesn't know how to 
return to the real world and he 

332
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,520
hangs himself. 
And it's in like the second last

333
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,920
season of the show and he is 
like one of the main characters.

334
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,760
And what happens is he comes 
back possessed by the purple 

335
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,560
smoke monster. 
I think I'm right. 

336
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,840
I haven't seen Lost in 15 years.
And that and that the the rest 

337
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,040
of the show, the character is 
just the purple smoke monster 

338
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,560
presenting as John Locke. 
So Terry O'Neill gets to be in 

339
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,680
the show, but John Locke has 
hung himself. 

340
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,480
And you're just kind of like, 
oh, I missed John Locke, but I 

341
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,080
guess I'm looking at him. 
But it's not the actual 

342
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,760
character. 
And that's what happens until 

343
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,960
the end of the show. 
And then obviously, John. 

344
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,760
Refer to it as the Purple Smoke 
monster in the show. 

345
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,760
That's what he's known as. 
I'm trying to remember what they

346
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,360
Yeah, I think he's called the 
purple smoke monster in the 

347
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,240
show. 
That's not you shorthand. 

348
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,600
And Oh no, Purple Smoke Monster 
is like what he's known as 

349
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,080
anyway, I'm just thinking about 
that now. 

350
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,600
I think that's a direct thing, 
pulls from Shawshank. 

351
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000
But yeah, it's a very TV bottle 
episode thing. 

352
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,360
There's like a whatever 7 minute
sequence where Brooks is like 

353
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,680
dear Red, I'm finally out and 
I'm living in the real world. 

354
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,560
I don't like it so much here. 
Everything moves too fast for an

355
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,800
old man like me, and it is the 
most emotionally manipulative, 

356
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,320
depressing but effective element
of the. 

357
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,440
It's like a It's like a 
Christmas ad from Post. 

358
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,200
Yeah, it is. 
Brooks sauces Teddy bear. 

359
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,640
It's such an unbelievable bummer
and it just ends with him dying 

360
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,000
and the guys back at the prison 
being like, well shit, maybe I 

361
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,920
don't want to get out of here, 
but then I guess what? 

362
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,720
It I don't think they. 
They don't know. 

363
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,960
They learn he does he. 
Kind of says he's going to he. 

364
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,880
I think he implies in his letter
that he's going to kill. 

365
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Himself. 
Oh, he writes a letter. 

366
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,400
Because they're, they look 
really horrified. 

367
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,080
I think what it does is it 
scares the guys in prison about 

368
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,160
what's going to happen when they
get out. 

369
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,800
And it gives Tim Robbins and 
Morgan Freeman the impetus to 

370
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,600
come up with a pretty solid plan
of action for what they're going

371
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,640
to do if they get out. 
Yeah. 

372
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,640
So that they're not just 
aimlessly trying to go get a job

373
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,840
in a shop and. 
No, I I think it probably is a 

374
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,280
necessary scene to include just 
to cover off the view of the the

375
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,520
the troubles of being 
institutionalized that long. 

376
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,560
It's really effective, I say. 
But I hate it. 

377
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,400
I think it's horrible. 
I think it's really manipulative

378
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,640
and just depressing for the sake
of it. 

379
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,720
But it's good. 
It's well, it's well done, and I

380
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,400
think it's where my boy Thomas 
Newman gets to really just 

381
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,599
fucking. 
Crack his. 

382
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:18,480
Shit for 5 minutes I famously 
every movie to me is improved 20

383
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,839
to 100% by a Thomas Newman 
score. 

384
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,240
We there's some movies that 
really are like if if I did a 

385
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,920
scale of most improved by Thomas
Newman score to least improve by

386
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Thomas the Judge double double 
improved by Thomas Newman's 

387
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,920
score, the help double improved 
by Thomas Newman's score. 

388
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,640
I would say Shawshank is in the 
sort I like. 

389
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,760
He gets a bit of a 40% boost 
range, but he really gets to do 

390
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,640
a lot in this Brooks scene and 
Brooks was here is, I think, a 

391
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,000
track on the soundtrack. 
And I think if you go on a 

392
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,920
Thomas Newman's Spotify page, 
it's always in like the top 

393
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,400
five. 
It's up there with the fucking 

394
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,800
Nemo's mom death scene and the 
series Unfortunate Events letter

395
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,440
that never came and and American
Beauty jerking off in the shower

396
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,520
scene was the. 
We'll sign your name and 

397
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,680
including. 
Was here a thing before? 

398
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,000
Bart Simpson was here. 
Yeah. 

399
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:06,840
Yeah. 
I don't know. 

400
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Did he invent it? 
I'm asking. 

401
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,440
Yeah. 
Because, you know, I think young

402
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,200
lads right in the wall in 
bathrooms and schools. 

403
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,640
But I think people drop the H in
the 90s, what was ear was ear. 

404
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,720
Dennis de Menace was ear. 
Like when I was a kid, that was 

405
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,720
like the coolest thing you could
do was say that you were ear. 

406
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,400
I'm not familiar with that. 
So Brooks was was is there and 

407
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,720
then later in the movie Red gets
out and he gets sent to the 

408
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,160
exact same room in the exact 
same halfway house and he sees 

409
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,680
Brooks was here and he's like, I
can't be like Brooks. 

410
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,400
He follows the exact same thing.
He he just re repeats the Brooks

411
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,720
scene. 
He goes and he works in the 

412
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,600
supermarket. 
He doesn't like that. 

413
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080
It is a really funny message 
that like working in retail is 

414
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,200
worse. 
Working in prison, yeah, I guess

415
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,080
it's worse than being in prison 
if you are an ex convict that 

416
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,160
nobody wants to be friends with.
That's the thing, people in 

417
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,840
prison have time for you because
they know. 

418
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,560
You're all of your prison. 
No one you're in prison with is 

419
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,040
going to get out on the same day
as you know. 

420
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,400
So you are going to be sent out 
into the world alone. 

421
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,760
And like I I don't know if I 
picture people in the real world

422
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,000
I know of who have gone to 
prison. 

423
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,600
They've had family and friends 
waiting for them for some 

424
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000
reason, I guess because of the 
length of the sentences. 

425
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,160
Like Brooke Brooks, he was in 
prison for over 50 years. 

426
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,720
Brooks was in prison for so long
that there was absolutely nobody

427
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,960
in his life left when he got 
out. 

428
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,720
And sure, the people he knew 
when he was younger, they 

429
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,160
wouldn't recognize him. 
They wouldn't care to hang out 

430
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,400
with him. 
They'd be like, you're like, 

431
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,040
you're that random guy who 
killed someone 50 years ago, 

432
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,640
armed, robbed a bank or 
whatever. 

433
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,200
So yeah, there's a real issue 
here of, like, returning to your

434
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,840
life. 
But Red, who is a far more 

435
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,360
proactive character and less of 
an old fucking sad sack that 

436
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:40,840
Brooks is like, well, I I know 
where Andy might be, so I'm 

437
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,160
going to rent a car and go find 
him and they end up on the boat 

438
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,480
together. 
How they're going to survive 

439
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,600
without any money, I don't know.
They have loads of money. 

440
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,080
They. 
Have loads of money, yeah oh, 

441
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,080
because they've sorry, because 
Andy has fucking. 

442
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,560
Andy's been frightening money 
off the ward for years, Andy. 

443
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,360
Has loads of money so red what 
didn't? 

444
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,680
But Andy has loads of money. 
OK, great, that's nice. 

445
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,440
They're gonna have a nice life 
together. 2 pals. 

446
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,640
The other plot. 
Twist in this is about 2/3 of 

447
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,320
the way through, a new young man
is brought to the prison, Yes, 

448
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,560
and he reveals, just kind of by 
accident, that he shared a cell 

449
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,240
with the man who essentially 
admitted to the crime that Andy 

450
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,600
was convicted. 
For So they have like this, 

451
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,920
yeah, they have a person who is 
providing this evidence, yeah, 

452
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,400
but then they have to like 
actually get the fucking parole 

453
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,360
committee to hear it or 
whatever. 

454
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:24,160
But the but the risk here is if 
Andy gets out, he's going to 

455
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,560
reveal all the dodgy money 
business, so the warden has an 

456
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,920
incentive for this story not to 
get. 

457
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,600
Out So the warden ends up just 
getting the this new guy shot. 

458
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,800
Yeah. 
He brings him out to the yard in

459
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,880
the middle of the night and was 
like, do you? 

460
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Do you promise me you will swear
Underoath that this is true? 

461
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,520
And he was like, yeah. 
And then he just gets fucking 

462
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,080
shot. 
This guy's Tommy Williams is the

463
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:42,680
character. 
Yeah. 

464
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,480
Jill Bellows, Canadian actor 
also in here you've got so James

465
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,880
Whitmore plays Brooks. 
He's very good. 

466
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,880
He's he's a two time Oscar 
nominee. 

467
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,720
He was Oscar nominated hear this
in 1949. 

468
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,400
Wow, Brooks, Brooks. 
He was Oscar nominated in 1949 

469
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,160
for a movie called Battleground 
with Van Johnson. 

470
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,080
And then he was Oscar nominated 
again in 1975. 

471
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Forgive him. 
Hell Harry, which he is the 

472
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,960
leader of and he plays Harry 
Truman. 

473
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,400
I don't know. 
James Whitmore is Harry Truman, 

474
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,120
that's very good. 
So he was a legendary actor. 

475
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,920
He's kind of like a legendary 
actor, I guess, who just exists 

476
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,080
in like slightly so boy party 
world where like, I don't really

477
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,120
know who he is an Oscar nominee.
That's a fun that's fun casting.

478
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,040
I guess it's like if you made a 
movie, if you made this today, 

479
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:32,800
who would you cast as Brooks, 
who's like like 10 years ago I 

480
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280
would have said Ernest Borgnine.
I'm trying to think, who's like 

481
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,080
an Oscar nominee from like, oh, 
Lou Gossett junior. 

482
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,600
Maybe. 
He died though, right? 

483
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760
He died like a year or two ago. 
It would have been Lou Gossett, 

484
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,520
Junior. 
Back to my point, Bob Gunton, 

485
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,600
don't know if he's alive or 
dead. 

486
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800
Shane knows he won't tell me. 
I don't want him to tell me. 

487
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,640
I have a short list of 
celebrities where I'm like, are 

488
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,760
they dead? 
Shirley Bassey's on that list. 

489
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,160
David Jason, John Humphreys, 
former host of Masterminds, 

490
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,560
mostly English celebrities, and 
Bob Gunton. 

491
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,160
And Don't tell Us. 
I think he's probably alive, but

492
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,800
I really don't know. 
And then Clancy Brown, Mr. Krabs

493
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,080
himself plays one of the prison 
guards head prisoner. 

494
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,920
He's got an incredible face. 
Oh, fantastic. 

495
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,360
He's really, he's in last as 
well. 

496
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:19,640
Actually, he's grown out a beard
in the last 20 years and I don't

497
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,040
think it's suits him. 
I think he's got a great chin 

498
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,480
and he should let that chin like
hang free. 

499
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,320
Oh, he's got a real prototypical
American mid century. 

500
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,920
Yeah, tough guy football. 
Just Mister man. 

501
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,680
Like that's great. 
So this movie was not a 

502
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,880
commercial success, but it was 
made for 25,000,000. 

503
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,480
OK, made $73 million on a $25 
million. 

504
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,440
I wonder, does that include like
subsequent re releases? 

505
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,040
Re releases? 
Where was the films? 

506
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:55,120
It was filmed in Mansfield. 
OH, for the exteriors anyway. 

507
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,720
I mean, Frank Darabont being the
director of a movie that is 

508
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,480
considered the greatest movie 
ever made is always very funny 

509
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,960
because you're like, who are the
great directors? 

510
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,240
You know, if we're even to look 
at it from OK, so this is always

511
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,880
like in the Empire magazine list
2000. 

512
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,040
First I first heard of this 
movie. 

513
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,360
Empire magazine in 2006 did 
greatest movies of all time 

514
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:16,440
list. 
This is number one. 

515
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,760
I distinctly remember my parents
being like, what a ridiculous 

516
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,400
choice, The Shawshank 
Redemption. 

517
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,280
What's wrong with people? 
Keep in mind this is 12 years 

518
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,560
after Shawshank came out. 
Yeah. 

519
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,600
So this is the equivalent of a 
movie from 2014 being named the 

520
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,720
greatest film of all time. 
So Interstellar, right? 

521
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,000
It'd be like if Interstellar was
#1 on empires greatest films of 

522
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,880
all time, which is conceivable. 
But if that happened, you'd be 

523
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,320
like, well, Christopher Nolan is
still like the GOAT for these 

524
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,720
types of people. 
It's it's a good like you're 

525
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,520
more of a symbol. 
Rather than the specific film, 

526
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,000
you're like Christopher Nolan, 
Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg. 

527
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760
These are like the heavyweights 
of movies. 

528
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,720
And which of theirs is your 
favorite? 

529
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:02,040
Which kind of whereas? 
Empire Magazine will be like so.

530
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Our #1 Greatest movie of all 
time was directed by Frank 

531
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,120
Darabont, and our number 2 
greatest Movie of all time was 

532
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:12,840
directed by ervin Kirschner. 
Now, Empire Magazine has 

533
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,400
multiple times named a film 
directed by ervin Kirschner the 

534
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,120
greatest film of all time. 
And I'm looking at you and you 

535
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,440
can't tell me what that film is.
And that is incredibly 

536
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,560
interesting. 
Kirschner Ervin Kirschner, I 

537
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:24,920
think. 
What? 

538
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,080
What are you are? 
We talking here? 

539
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,200
This film is from 19801980. 
Yeah, this is this has been 

540
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,920
named Empire magazine's greatest
film of all time at least once 

541
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,320
or twice. 
Can I get some more hints on 

542
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,200
what this is while the clue is 
in the title? 

543
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,440
The greatest? 
Film. 

544
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,400
No. 
The Clue Empire Magazine This 

545
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,080
movie is Star Wars The Empire 
Strikes Back. 

546
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,360
OK, fine. 
Which is a fucking sequel that 

547
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:49,000
isn't even as good as the 
original. 

548
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,400
Yeah, now maybe if I had a 
magazine called Redemption, 

549
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,600
maybe we'd name the Shawshank 
Redemption the greatest movie of

550
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,120
all time. 
But anyway, nevertheless, it's 

551
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,520
ridiculous to me that Frank 
Darabont and ervin Kirchner 

552
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,760
movies get put at the top of the
list. 

553
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280
I'm really against Frank 
Darabont, but like, Frank 

554
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,040
Darabont does not necessarily 
exist as an auteur outside of 

555
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,520
these two King movies. 
He did. 

556
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,040
So he did this. 
He did Green while five years 

557
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,440
later and he did a Jim Carrey. 
Like, I don't know what's, 

558
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,560
what's the Majestic even about? 
I don't even know. 

559
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,600
And now he is like fully TV guy.
He well worth saying. 

560
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,880
He wrote. 
He of course wrote Nightmare Elm

561
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,120
Street 3 and The Fly 2. 
This is. 

562
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,960
The Flyers in the Cronenberg. 
The Fly Two. 

563
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,560
Yes, exactly. 
He got a screen best adapted 

564
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,080
screenplay nomination for 
Shawshank. 

565
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,200
He then wrote Kenneth Branagh's 
Frankenstein movie with De Niro,

566
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,280
he made The Green Mile, he 
directed The Majestic with Jim 

567
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,200
Carrey, and he directed The Miss
in 2007. 

568
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,400
That's it. 55 movies and now 
he's a big TV guy. 

569
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,120
I mean, apparently he did 
uncredited script work on 

570
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,400
Collateral Saving Private Ryan, 
Indiana Jones, King of Crystal 

571
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,720
Skull. 
Now to to be fair to this film, 

572
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,320
it it what it has gone for, it 
is it's super tight. 

573
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Yeah, it's very, it's super 
move. 

574
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,560
It moves very well for something
that's in one spot. 

575
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,160
Good. 
It's a good work of adaptation. 

576
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,000
I mean I I agree no problem with
him being nominated for that 

577
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,760
Oscar. 
I think that turning a short or 

578
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,000
like I know it's 90 pages, but 
like turning a novella into a 2 

579
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,040
1/2 hour film that feels 
substantial and moves well is an

580
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,240
incredible skill. 
If you compare that to say, 

581
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,400
small things like these, which 
is what, 40 pages or something 

582
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,160
being turned into an absolute 
fucking snooze of a screenplay 

583
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,760
by Enda Walsh, like there's just
no comparison. 

584
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,720
He has pivoted to television in 
the last couple years. 

585
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Are you aware that he is like, 
he was the primary creative 

586
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,880
directing voice behind The 
Walking Dead? 

587
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,440
He directed the first episode of
The Walking Dead and he like, 

588
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,920
set the template for it. 
He got into legal troubles with 

589
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,120
the other producers later on. 
I think they kind of like cut 

590
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:49,320
him off of his slice of the 
money or whatever. 

591
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,280
But he was involved and he 
directed some episodes of 

592
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,160
Stranger Things this past year. 
Yeah. 

593
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,040
Look, I I can see where why he 
would be picked to do something 

594
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,960
that is incredibly popular. 
Yeah, and. 

595
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:02,080
But why is he not doing like? 
Is it just that he has money and

596
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,880
he doesn't want to? 
Why is he not making like a 

597
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,120
fucking franchise movie now? 
Like obviously he the Majestic 

598
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:10,960
flopped and he wasn't allowed to
do any more blank checks. 

599
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:12,560
Yeah, fine. 
Whatever, but but it's weird 

600
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,000
that he doesn't like if he's 
gonna do stranger things, surely

601
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,920
he'd rather do. 
Not pretty high up on the list 

602
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,800
for just book adaptations. 
Yeah, exactly. 

603
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,720
Like John Crowley doing the 
Goldfinch, You think he'd be in 

604
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,640
the for that? 
Or like, yeah, I'm interested. 

605
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,880
If he's willing to do Stranger 
Things, would he not be willing 

606
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,800
to make, you know, Indiana Jones
5? 

607
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,240
Or like some sort of legacy 
sequel where they can't get the 

608
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,680
original guy back. 
We've got we've got our Prophet 

609
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,200
song. 
Yeah, yeah. 

610
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:36,720
They get us, get us, get they 
get us. 

611
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,600
He should be next on the list 
after Ridley Scott to do big 

612
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,080
book adaptations with. 
Scale. 

613
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440
Has he done any? 
Actually, he's not right. 

614
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,240
Here. 
But yeah, these are all intimate

615
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,640
movies. 
He's never done anything with 

616
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,080
like a big, you know, VFX horse.
Like, yeah, with a horse, I 

617
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:54,560
don't know, maybe there's a 
whole horses. 

618
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,400
Maybe there's a horse in the 
mist. 

619
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,440
So anyway, Tim Robbins is very 
much like not a movie star 

620
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,800
anymore. 
But that's OK. 

621
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,240
That's allowed, but. 
Again, if you're the lead of the

622
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,160
greatest film of all time, I 
think that kind of makes you a 

623
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,560
movie star forever. 
He's nowadays he's just sort of 

624
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,160
like he's just vibing like he's,
he gets to be like 4th build and

625
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,840
a lot of a lot of stuff. 
He's out out here being left 

626
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,960
wing, being divorced from Susan 
Sarandon. 

627
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,040
I really like him. 
I mean, I think he seems like a 

628
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,840
really nice person, but like, I 
mean, film career is like a 

629
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,600
little bit all over the place. 
Yeah, I know. 

630
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,960
But they're two big 
personalities. 

631
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,520
I know they're they're they're 
people who were just like, 

632
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,800
there's too much going on with 
both of them. 

633
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,080
They're gonna they're gonna 
whack off each other eventually.

634
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,800
You forget he's in Top Gun, Top 
Gun. 

635
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,160
But he is. 
This is all in the the build up 

636
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,240
to this movie. 
Like if if if Shawshank was set 

637
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,760
in the 80s, would someone have a
picture of Susan Sarandon on 

638
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,360
their on their wall? 
No, I don't think so. 

639
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,320
No, she was never that type. 
I don't think Susan I think 

640
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,640
Susan Sarandon was always a bit 
too cool to be on the wall of 

641
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,680
prisoners cells like Pamela 
Anderson would be there in the 

642
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,880
80s. 
Susan Sarandon is like has 

643
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,040
always been like an interesting 
actress. 

644
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,920
I don't think she was ever like 
pin up material necessarily, 

645
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,000
even though everyone is 
obviously very thirsty for her. 

646
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,480
Now there's a film he's in that 
I haven't seen, which is quite 

647
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,960
iconic and I think he's used a 
lot as like a, it's used as like

648
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,680
a, like a, the title is a is a 
phrase, which is Jacob's Ladder.

649
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,720
This sounds to me like 1 of the 
scariest fucking movies ever. 

650
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,200
I will never watch this but I 
know it's like it's very iconic 

651
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:38,120
and he's the lead and the poster
is sort of his face going and in

652
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,600
the plot is. 
After returning home from the 

653
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,960
Vietnam War, veteran Jacob 
struggles to maintain his 

654
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,640
sanity. 
Plagued by hallucinations and 

655
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,600
flashbacks, Singer rapidly falls
apart as the world and people 

656
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,520
around him morph and twist and 
disturbing images. 

657
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,040
His girlfriend and ex-wife try 
to help. 

658
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,680
It's a little avail. 
Even his chiropractor friend 

659
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,640
fails to reach him as he 
descends into madness. 

660
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,920
This sounds so terrifying to me.
I've heard people on a number of

661
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,640
occasions reference like that's 
a bit of a Jacob's Ladder 

662
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,040
situation. 
So it it's definitely iconic, 

663
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,240
but I haven't seen it. 
And when they when they refer to

664
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,040
it as that, do they mean just 
really scary? 

665
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,120
No, no, I think they mean like 
they're talking about whatever 

666
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,200
kind of hallucinatory 
experience. 

667
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,840
He appears in Jungle Fever Spike
Lee movie as sleazy boss, and 

668
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,320
then in 1992 he is Griffin Mill 
in Robert Allen's The Player. 

669
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,800
And I will remind you that 
Griffin Mill is the name of 

670
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,000
Bryan Cranston's character on 
the studio. 

671
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,720
And maybe they're the same guy, 
maybe they're not. 

672
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,240
Oh, I didn't. 
I didn't know that. 

673
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,280
The studio is directly pulling 
from the player. 

674
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,560
The player is Tim Robbins as a 
studio executive and he every 

675
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,680
like I feel like all the 
directors and actors in it are 

676
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,160
kind of playing themselves. 
It's very much the template for 

677
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,560
that show and it's really fun. 
I really enjoyed it and it's a 

678
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,120
really fun movie about like 
trying to navigate the cynicism 

679
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,040
of the film industry making, 
trying to get some interesting 

680
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,920
stuff made. 
There's a bit of Hail Caesar to 

681
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:01,480
it and you know what Thomas 
Newman did? 

682
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,080
It was a great score for it. 
So recommend. 

683
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,320
He then directs and stars in a 
political satire in 1982 called 

684
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,200
Bob Roberts, which I really 
enjoy, where he plays this 

685
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,080
absolutely ridiculous character.
He's a conservative Senate 

686
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,600
candidate, I believe, whose 
whole thing is that he, like, 

687
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,480
sings folksy songs and plays the
guitar. 

688
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,080
And he's like, hello, I'm Bob 
Roberts, and I'm here to say 

689
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,360
hello. 
It's it's framed as a 

690
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,600
mockumentary. 
Like it has documentary 

691
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,400
aesthetics, but it's really, 
really fun. 

692
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,280
The songs are really funny. 
And obviously it's like, a 

693
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,680
little bit outdated now because 
it's like, you know, truth is 

694
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,400
stranger than fiction. 
But Alan Rickman is in it as 

695
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,600
his, like, campaign manager, and
Ray Wise and Giancarlos Posito 

696
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,160
are in it. 
And I thought it was great fun. 

697
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,920
I watched it before the last 
presidential election on the 

698
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,720
phone with it. 
And then 1984. 

699
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,560
He stars best performance of his
career, without a doubt in the 

700
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,600
Coen Brothers Hudsucker Proxy, 
which I adore. 

701
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,280
And he is so, so good in this as
the inventor of the hula hoop. 

702
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,720
And it just makes such good use 
of his very silly face. 

703
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,520
And it's like proper cartoon 
shit. 

704
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,720
And he's really, really funny in
it. 

705
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,920
And he gets sacked opposite Paul
Newman and Jennifer Jason Lee 

706
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,000
and like a whole roster of 
Cohen's regular guys. 

707
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,560
And the Hudsucker Proxy is one 
of the Cohen's best movies. 

708
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,800
I think it's really incredible. 
You gotta watch it. 

709
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:14,920
Everyone's gotta watch it. 
It's. 

710
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,480
A few gaps in the stage. 
Yeah, that's the same year as 

711
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,640
Shawshank, and then also that 
year he's in IQ. 

712
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,200
What do you watch this? 
This is the Einstein. 

713
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,440
Movie. 
Oh, this is the Einstein movie. 

714
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Yeah, yeah. 
Why? 

715
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,760
Don't we talk about this on Fail
safe episode? 

716
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,520
Because math has science. 
Yeah, yeah. 

717
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,280
Why are we watching this? 
Just because we thought it was. 

718
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,520
We honestly watched it because 
Math how was in it and we were 

719
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,680
doing Math how and Tim Robbins 
was kind of coming down the 

720
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,480
tracks, I think. 
Yeah, both reasons. 

721
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,080
And it looked funny. 
It did look funny. 

722
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,640
It was funny. 
It was kind of an altar in 

723
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,040
history where like Tim Robbins 
is recruited Einstein to help 

724
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,800
him get a girl. 
It's pretty funny. 

725
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,800
It's like Oppenheimer the wrong.
It's shot in the same location 

726
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,520
as Oppenheimer like that you can
match the match the shots. 

727
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,080
It's pretty funny. 
He's in one of the only dipamas 

728
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,120
I haven't seen which is called 
mission to Mars with Gary Sini, 

729
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,400
which looks like absolute dog 
shit and I I don't think I'm 

730
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,360
going to watch it anytime soon, 
but it exists. 

731
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,840
And then 2001 Antitrust. 
Antitrust. 

732
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,720
Dropped in antitrust as an 
example of a computer is a cool 

733
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,960
movie 2 weeks ago. 
Yeah, it very much is. 

734
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,200
So it's what is it Ryan Philippe
and random woman and they're 

735
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,960
working in a I'm sorry. 
The woman is. 

736
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,720
Rachel Lee Cook is it? 
Yeah, I know. 

737
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,960
It's Rachel Lee Cook. 
Nobody. 

738
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,160
Nobody too exciting. 
Never mind. 

739
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,320
And they're working for this. 
It's just like it's. 

740
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,640
You may as well call him Bill 
Gates. 

741
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:34,280
It's a bunch of young coders get
recruited by Bill Gates who 

742
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,240
wants to build the fucking mono 
machine. 

743
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,320
Yes, that just does all the 
things he wants to build the 

744
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,280
everything app. 
Yeah, yeah. 

745
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,320
He's building acts, the 
everything. 

746
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,520
App he wants to do free messages
or something online. 

747
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,280
We enjoyed this because I think 
largely we've always thought 

748
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,000
that our friend Michael Mcandrew
looks like a friend of the show,

749
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,760
looks a bit like Tim Robbins. 
He's kind of a computer. 

750
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,120
Michael is a is a techie man and
works in computers companies. 

751
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,360
So it's fun that it's fun that 
he that Tim Robbins did once 

752
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,320
play a Michael type, but he's 
he's evil Bill Gates and he's 

753
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,040
like, I'm going to. 
Control the world as opposed to 

754
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,480
what? 
Yeah, as a as in he's like the 

755
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,440
villain of the film. 
Yeah. 

756
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,280
Antitrust. 
Antitrust. 

757
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,520
Does he do anything fun in this?
I took took a pretty he he does.

758
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,679
I refer to him as sufficiently 
hammy in my review. 

759
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,400
Yeah, he he. 
Seems to flip. 

760
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,320
He like he's Mr. Nice, Mr. 
Visionary for a while and then 

761
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,120
in private he'll flip and like 
throw shit. 

762
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,320
Yeah. 
Which I don't know it this, I 

763
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,760
kind of stopped watching this 
after about 35 minutes. 

764
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,560
We got all the the main juice 
out of it. 

765
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,000
Yeah, sorry. 
There's what's what, what's the 

766
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,600
funny coworker name? 
That's Stinky or something? 

767
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,880
Something like Stinky. 
Yeah, yeah, that's Stinky. 

768
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,560
Over there, Why do they call it 
that? 

769
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:43,480
Why do they call it that? 
Funny thing is that obviously 

770
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,679
neither of these actors in 
Shawshank win Oscars for this 

771
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:48,120
film. 
I don't think Robins is 

772
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,040
nominated at. 
All get any other nominations. 

773
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,320
They got screen time. 
Sorry, I'll I'll, I'll do that 

774
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,400
quickly. 
Awards. 

775
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,920
So this film is actually does 
quite well with the Oscars. 

776
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,000
It's nominated for best picture,
Morgan Freeman actor, best 

777
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,040
adapted screenplay, best 
cinematography, film editing, 

778
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,760
sound and original score. 
I got distracted there when I 

779
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,720
was talking about the box 
office. 

780
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:10,320
It would have been a hit or not,
but it did OK at the Oscars. 

781
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,360
I I thought this was a real like
snubbed across the board. 

782
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,880
That's why it has. 
Such a reputation. 

783
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,000
No it well it was snubbed in 
that it lost but oh sorry, but 

784
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,520
it loses. 
Best Picture to a funny quartet 

785
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,560
of films. 4 Weddings at a 
funeral best picture nominee 

786
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:29,240
yeah Forrest Gump wins yeah Pulp
Fiction and quiz show, which is 

787
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:31,520
the pretty. 
Good iconic line up there. 

788
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,480
It is. 
Quiz Show is probably the odd 

789
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,480
one out there. 
But like, I think people in 

790
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,480
hindsight are like, well, Pulp 
Fiction was snubbed because Pulp

791
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,400
Fiction is the most influential 
film in the last 40 years. 

792
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,080
But like, Shawshank Redemption 
and Pulp Fiction and Parse Gump 

793
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,960
are three of the 10 default 
movies. 

794
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,520
Yeah, like that is, that's them.
That is that, Yeah, that is 

795
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,280
them. 
Best director. 

796
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,640
He doesn't get nominated though,
because for some reason they 

797
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,440
nominate, they nominate 
Zemeckis, Tarantino, Redford, 

798
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,280
and then instead of nominating 
who directed 4 Weddings, Mike 

799
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,240
Newell. 
Yeah, instead of nominating Mike

800
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,320
Newell, they nominate Woody 
Allen for Bullets Over Broadway.

801
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,320
And instead of nominating 
Darabont, they nominate Kresov 

802
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,680
Koslowski for Three Colours Red,
which is hilarious. 

803
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,040
Do you know what? 
Oh, it's. 3 Colours Trilogy 

804
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
It's very iconic. 3 colours, 

805
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,840
white, blue and red. 
But it's funny they nominate him

806
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,520
for like the third one. 
Tom Hanks wins his second best 

807
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,360
actor in a row which is so 
stupid. 

808
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,320
He should have won for 
Philadelphia 100% and then he 

809
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,080
should have lost this one. 
Now Paul Newman's nominated 

810
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,000
Travolta is nominated for Pulp 
Fiction, Nigel Hawthorne and 

811
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,560
Freeman. 
Travolta got a lead nomination. 

812
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,320
He got a lead nomination and 
Jackson got a supporting 

813
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,720
nomination and Thurman got a 
supporting actress nomination. 

814
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,720
I, I would have like, I don't 
think John Travolta deserved to 

815
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:51,320
win best lead actor for Pulp 
Fiction. 

816
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,840
That's a good performance, but 
that's like ridiculous. 

817
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,360
He's not the lead. 
And I guess he's just in the 

818
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,360
most sequences. 
I'm very comfortable. 

819
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,640
He's the biggest name at the 
time. 

820
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,280
Yeah, I'm very comfortable with 
John Travolta not having an 

821
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,840
Oscar, I think. 
I don't think he's a good actor,

822
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,960
So sure, I think that's fine. 
He's he's been rewarded enough 

823
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,760
if they. 
Wanted to give him one now, like

824
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,600
fine, it would be kind of funny 
to watch him get one, but like 

825
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,680
if it was between him and you 
know, Richard Gere from that 

826
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:17,440
era, like I would be on. 
I've heard of the juicer 

827
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,800
interest to try, and I don't 
think so. 

828
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,240
But yeah, Morgan Freeman loses 
to Tom Hanks anyway. 

829
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,960
So 10 years later, on 
consecutive years, Tim Robbins 

830
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,840
wins Best Supporting Actor in 
2003 and Morgan Freeman wins 

831
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,960
Best Supporting Actor in 2004, 
and it feels as though those are

832
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,080
just like, well, enough time has
passed. 

833
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:37,960
We've got to admit the Shawshank
Redemption, one hell of a 

834
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,960
picture here, have an Oscar 
reach. 

835
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,920
So he wins. 
Tim wins for Mystic River, which

836
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,960
is this the Eastwood movie where
Sean Penn's daughter gets 

837
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,000
murdered and he screams so much 
that he, according to my TikTok 

838
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,960
feed, needed an oxygen tank 
after filming the scene I don't 

839
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,560
think. 
Oh, that's a ridiculous. 

840
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:56,920
Scene I don't think Mystic River
is good. 

841
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,200
I watched it, it is so 
miserable. 

842
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,760
Absolutely. 
Like just not no joy in Sean. 

843
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,920
Penn the leader, that is. 
Eastwood. 

844
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,840
Sean Penn's the leader. 
Oh, Eastwood's not in Sean Penn,

845
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,760
the lead, and Tim Robbins is the
killer. 

846
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,800
And Tim Robbins back story is 
that he was abducted and abused 

847
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,640
as a child for in a week and now
he's all fucked up because of it

848
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,280
and he's like, I killed your 
daughter. 

849
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,280
It is not good and Tim Robbins 
is not very good in it. 

850
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,240
But anyway, what does he do with
his new Oscar pedigree? 

851
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:25,400
Well, he shows up for 20 minutes
in War of the Worlds down in the

852
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,520
basement. 
Yeah, it's where it goes. 

853
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,520
It's a big Spielberg 
conversation. 

854
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,000
He's good and scary in it. 
Yeah. 

855
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,720
And Morgan Freeman's in it too, 
is the narrator. 

856
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,680
Oh, he is. 
He's in Zahora, which we 

857
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,760
discussed on our Kristen Stewart
episode last week. 

858
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,680
And then he's in a movie that I 
watched, Fuchsko, which I liked 

859
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,080
a lot, which is The Secret Life 
of Words, which is an Isabel 

860
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,440
quick set movie with Sarah 
Polley, who's a a young nurse 

861
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:46,280
with like, I don't know, an 
Eastern European accent. 

862
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,320
And she goes out to an oil rig 
for a job and he's the only 

863
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,880
woman on the oil rig. 
And Tim Robbins is like a burn 

864
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,040
survivor and she has to look 
after him. 

865
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,640
And I question. 
Is he visibly well? 

866
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,480
He's burning burns on his. 
Face, he doesn't look that 

867
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,480
crazy. 
I think he's lost his sight for 

868
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,840
a while or something. 
She basically is like caring for

869
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,600
him at the side of his bed and 
they develop a romance and and 

870
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,280
then he comes and finds at the 
end of the movie. 

871
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,760
I thought it was nice. 
I thought it was like a nice two

872
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,440
really talented actors just kind
of like bouncing off each other.

873
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,320
I, I, I enjoyed it a lot. 
I'm, I'm really in a good Sarah 

874
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,400
Polly phase recently. 
So anything she's in doing a 

875
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,440
funny accent. 
I'm into it. 

876
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,360
And then he's in this like 
weird. 

877
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,360
What we watched this like South 
African movie catch a fire where

878
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:31,000
he plays some sort of like 
apartheid era FBI guy. 

879
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,520
Not a lot of real movies here. 
There's a Nicholas Sparks like 

880
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,360
military thing called the lucky 
ones. 

881
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,080
He's like the mayor in the city 
of Ember. 

882
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,240
And then he plays the senator in
Green Lantern, who is the father

883
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:46,880
of Peter Sarsgaard's character. 
I think this is the first thing 

884
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,720
I ever saw him in actually. 
And he's terrible in it. 

885
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:53,920
And then there's a movie called 
Thanks for sharing where Mark 

886
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,120
Ruffalo plays a sex addict and 
he's in like a, a meeting with 

887
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,640
all these other addicts, but 
they're all addicted to 

888
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,560
different things like, and Tim 
Robbins is, is, is is like an 

889
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,120
alcoholic. 
But the the the the most 

890
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,000
important element of this movie 
is that Josh Gad plays an 

891
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,480
absolute. 
Horrible sexual deviant in this 

892
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,400
film and the film treats it as 
like a joke and treats him as 

893
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,320
like as like a fun guy. 
Like in the. 1st 10 minutes he 

894
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,400
has shown sexually assaulting a 
woman on public transport by 

895
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,800
like rubbing his groin up 
against her. 

896
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,640
And then we're just meant to 
laugh it off and for the rest of

897
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,520
the movie we'd be like, he's got
problems. 

898
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,800
What a guy. 
He should be in jail. 

899
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,640
That's Josh. 
And I hate Josh Gad anyway, but 

900
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:40,440
he should be in prison. 
And Tim Robbins never really 

901
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,560
makes a real movie again. 
And there's a lot of stuff on 

902
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,680
here that simply does not exist.
And I would argue the only film 

903
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,520
post twenty 10s that are like 
post 2000s that has any kind of 

904
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,360
cultural presence is Dark Waters
with Ruffalo, which is great. 

905
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,480
Obviously Todd hates movie and 
he's very good in that as like 

906
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,720
the evil businessman. 
Although I'm getting mixed up 

907
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,440
because I know like Victor 
Garber and Bill Pullman are in 

908
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,960
it too and I'm getting them all 
mixed up in my head. 

909
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:07,360
But he is good enough. 
But like he just doesn't make 

910
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,840
films anymore. 
And what he did do was he went 

911
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,840
to TV and he did 2 HBO shows in 
the space of a few years, both 

912
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,680
of which I watched. 
The first one was a kind of 

913
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,880
Doctor Strangelove fail safe 
type thing called The Brink with

914
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,640
him. 
And Jack Black as and he was 

915
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:24,400
the. 
Oh God, sorry, yes, I know this 

916
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,480
one. 
What is? 

917
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,400
This 20, this was 2015. 
It's that reason. 

918
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,960
It was on the same time as True 
Detective. 

919
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,480
Season yeah, it was we watched 
the first episode. 

920
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,640
It was completely flat, like 
absolutely nothing. 

921
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:34,640
I. 
Think we watched about 30 

922
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,440
seconds maybe, but it's it's him
and he's in the situation room 

923
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,920
and whatever. 
And then he did the show in 

924
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:44,680
2018, which I enjoyed, which was
an Alan Ball show called Here 

925
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,560
and Now where him and Holly 
Hunter played the parents of a 

926
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,200
mixed culture adoptive family 
with kids from all over. 

927
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,440
Like they have like 4 kids. 
One of them is a biological 

928
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,080
child, one of them is from Asia,
one of them is black, one of 

929
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,520
them is somewhere else. 
And it's about like what a mixed

930
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,000
family would be like. 
And he plays. 

931
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:07,840
It's a very interesting late 
stage Obama era, kind of new 

932
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,080
woke America thing. 
I think it's interesting as a 

933
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,240
cultural relic. 
And he plays a philosophy 

934
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:15,680
professor who pulls out a gun in
class and gets suspended and 

935
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,760
he's having fun on it. 
And that's kind of the last new 

936
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:18,920
thing I saw. 
Tim Robinson. 

937
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,200
So his career seems to be 
completely flatlining and I 

938
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,320
don't know what's going to 
happen there. 

939
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,560
I don't know he's going to get 
pulled out of retirement and and

940
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,480
fucking given an amazing role. 
Doesn't seem like it. 

941
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:30,920
They might rock him out at the 
Oscars. 

942
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,200
Is one of the five to present 
one? 

943
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,800
Like have they done that? 
Yeah, they did do that. 

944
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,400
They did. 
He definitely did that in 2009, 

945
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,080
I think. 
I can't remember who he 

946
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,200
presented to, but he definitely 
did. 

947
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:41,960
He's a man who will probably be 
live for 20 years, so. 

948
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,640
He will he's look, he's an Oscar
nominee or sorry, he's an Oscar 

949
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,680
winner. 
He he obviously is well known 

950
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,720
face. 
He's the star of the toxic 

951
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:49,920
redemption. 
I think he's simply too left 

952
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,040
wing for his own good in terms 
of getting work. 

953
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,240
Like if you're going to going to
be as outspokenly left wing as 

954
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:58,400
him, you've got to have Mark 
Ruffalo's level of talent and 

955
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,600
personality to and have your 
right hand. 

956
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,480
Together doesn't necessarily 
strike me as the James Spader 

957
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,320
type who simply cannot stop 
working because he needs to 

958
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,520
maintain his life. 
Exactly. 

959
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,400
I think he's probably happy 
enough not making loads and 

960
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,000
loads of money. 
He's probably he probably got 

961
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,720
enough money for doing the Green
Lantern and The Brink that he's 

962
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:18,080
happy waiting around for Todd 
Haynes to write him a script. 

963
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,000
Sure, he pops up on SNL and 
stuff this anniversary episode. 

964
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,240
Playing play presidents or 
something, I don't. 

965
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,720
Think he does, but he's in that 
world. 

966
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,560
I don't know, maybe there's 
something I'm forgetting about 

967
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,480
here. 
I just know he's like an 

968
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,160
environmentalist. 
He's a cool guy anyway. 

969
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,960
Tim Robbins for probably the 
third time. 

970
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,240
We are going to half our Smorgan
Freemans career not spending 

971
00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:40,840
more than 3 minutes. 
Third time we're doing. 

972
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,200
Well, we never really committed 
to talking about him before and.

973
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,320
The third guy twice. 
We skimmed him in $1,000,000, 

974
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,400
baby, and we skimmed him in Las 
Vegas. 

975
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,240
Yeah, we're going to skim him 
again now because he's made too 

976
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:54,760
many movies. 
But I'll tell you, we'll talk 

977
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,840
about the films in which he is 
the lead, because that's a 

978
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,040
slightly smaller faction. 
Obviously, everyone knows Morgan

979
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,880
Freeman from the supporting 
roles he delivers in The Dark 

980
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,200
Knight. 
Like the the other, the other 

981
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,440
niche of Morgan Freeman speak 
about is just him as the 

982
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,160
narrator of the. 
Film, yes, His voice as a 

983
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,560
narrator has become such a 
cliche. 

984
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:12,800
Now he's. 
Essentially doing the same thing

985
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,480
in Million Dollar Baby. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

986
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,640
And now. 
But now and then he does it 

987
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,200
again and meet March the 1st 
Penguins. 

988
00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:18,720
Yeah. 
And then it becomes like 

989
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:22,960
completely cultural osmosis that
like Morgan Freeman's voice is 

990
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,800
the definitive voice you would 
want. 

991
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,080
As a narrator. 
And I believe there is now some 

992
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:28,520
sort of AI bullshit app. 
Is he in? 

993
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,000
One of the Bruce, yeah, he's 
gone. 

994
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,200
And Bruce Almighty, he's. 
Got both both of the. 

995
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:35,880
Almighties. 
Umm, yeah, like he like he 

996
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,440
became Chuck Norris level Yeah 
of. 

997
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,440
Mimi. 
Yeah. 

998
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,520
And he became the the, the sort 
of closest thing to like the 

999
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,920
physical presence of God in 
movies you can have. 

1000
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,640
He's good. 
Like, he's a good actor. 

1001
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,640
And no strong things on Morgan 
Freeman. 

1002
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,920
I did tell you, like, if he 
dies, my reaction is probably 

1003
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,800
going to be muted relative to 
everybody else, relative to all 

1004
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,560
the other old actors who die 
around us. 

1005
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,920
You know, like when Morgan 
Freeman dies, I don't think I'm 

1006
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,360
going to be like, no, Morgan 
Freeman, I loved your work. 

1007
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,040
He's just sort of there and he's
good. 

1008
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,920
But again, he is reached to 
everyone in that he's got, Oh 

1009
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,680
yeah, everyone who thinks this 
is a graceful of all time. 

1010
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,600
Everybody thinks the dark dies, 
the graceful them all time. 

1011
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,320
All the kids who liked the 
almighty films. 

1012
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,840
Yes, everyone who's interested 
in in Penguin lifestyles and all

1013
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,800
of the fucking Invictus heads. 
Yeah, you got everybody in 

1014
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,120
there. 
Yeah, all the all the history 

1015
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,280
buffs who like Mandela. 
Yeah, and then like old dying 

1016
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,240
people who love the bucket list,
he really got the ball. 

1017
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:35,440
He got them all. 
But his lead roles are kind of 

1018
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,160
like, there's a couple of big 
ones, but like 7, he is the 

1019
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,360
lead. 
I think he narrates that as 

1020
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,680
well. 
He does. 7 is you. 

1021
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,360
Need a quirky young white guy 
beside him? 

1022
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,640
Too 7 is brilliant and he's he's
really good in seven. 

1023
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,000
I think that's his best 
performance. 

1024
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,640
Invictus is fine. 
He plays fucking Mandela. 

1025
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:54,640
Like what are you going to do 
there? 

1026
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,120
Of course Morgan Freeman was 
going to play. 

1027
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,640
We we did. 
Watch Invictus with the 

1028
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,360
intention of doing an episode on
it once and we kind. 

1029
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,320
Of yeah, and then our guest 
bailed and didn't want to do it,

1030
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,760
so we're now never going to do 
it. 

1031
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,280
We've done enough. 
Scheduling. 

1032
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,840
Conflict. 
We've done enough Matt Damon 

1033
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,160
movies to not be doing Invictus.
Although I will say we have a 

1034
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,360
degree. 
We have 1° of removal from the 

1035
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,400
son of the real guy. 
Oh, we do. 

1036
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,240
We do. 
So in a world where we could get

1037
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:20,120
him to be the guest, the real 
guy or the son, we might do 

1038
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,040
Invictus. 
I put on Driving Miss Daisy the 

1039
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,320
other day, intending to watch it
for this episode. 

1040
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,000
OK. 
And it was so bad I turned it 

1041
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,160
off. 
I thought it was going to be 

1042
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,120
like Green Book or The Help or 
one of these like white savior 

1043
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,320
movies that I kind of like. 
It's a bit lighthearted, kind 

1044
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,920
of. 
It was just like, it was like 

1045
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,960
incoherent. 
It was just not interesting at 

1046
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,440
all. 
Is it Dan Aykroyd arguing with 

1047
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,800
his mother about her finances? 
It was so boring. 

1048
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,560
I might finish it someday. 
I'll probably try and watch 

1049
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,880
every Best Picture winner in my 
lifetime, but interesting that 

1050
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,240
he did that like 5 years before 
this and then he's in a bunch of

1051
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:53,720
these like Ashley Judd, Ashley 
Judd adjacent thrillers and 

1052
00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:56,880
serial killer movies. 
Kiss the girls, Along Came a 

1053
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,120
spider. 
He does all of these. 

1054
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:59,680
It's kind of. 
They alternate between him and 

1055
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,480
Tommy Lee Jones throughout the 
90s as like the male detective 

1056
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,640
in AI. 
Think he's playing Alex Cross in

1057
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,400
some of these, though. 
And Alex Cross was later played 

1058
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,800
by Tyler Perry. 
And then yeah, I mean, that's 

1059
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,520
kind of this is kind of his his 
lead roles. 

1060
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,280
This is kind of it. 
Like he's kind of the lead of of

1061
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,800
Amistad, the Spielberg slavery 
movie and. 

1062
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,520
Then he's just kind of a. 
Perpetual second and third guy. 

1063
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,040
Has he ever gone into TV or is 
he? 

1064
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,000
Yeah, he's in that show. 
Light ass was always so bad. 

1065
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,760
Oh yeah, I did watch. 
I watched one other movie in 

1066
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,840
preparation for this and it was 
a a Brad Silverlink film called 

1067
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,760
10 Items or Less. 
And it is a film where Morgan 

1068
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,760
Freeman plays himself, more or 
less. 

1069
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,960
They never say you're Morgan 
Freeman, but he's like, I'm a 

1070
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,520
famous actor and they never name
him. 

1071
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,120
And he goes to do research for a
role where he's playing a 

1072
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,880
supermarket worker by hanging 
out in a supermarket all day 

1073
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,080
with Paz Vega. 
And that is the whole movie. 

1074
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,640
And it is so boring. 
And it is just him walking 

1075
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,480
around the supermarket like, and
what do you do with the, what do

1076
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,200
you do with the, the labels of 
the shelf? 

1077
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,960
And she's like, oh, my husband 
is leaving me. 

1078
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:07,000
It's it's dreadful. 
Really, really, really bad. 

1079
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:09,880
Yeah. 
I mean, he just got this funny. 

1080
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,760
He's slotted into stuff. 
I'm looking at this poster for 

1081
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,640
Oblivion, where it's like Cruz 
and then like Morgan Freeman to 

1082
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,560
the left. 
It's exactly how Lawrence 

1083
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,000
Fishburne was placed on the 
poster for the The Amateur. 

1084
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,360
Why do you need to put Morgan 
Freeman on the poster of 

1085
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,880
Oblivion? 
Tom Cruise is enough to sell. 

1086
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,360
That this was Tom Cruise at his 
at his lowest? 

1087
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,760
I think so. 
They really felt they needed 

1088
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,320
Morgan Freeman to bring a few 
more Tom. 

1089
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,720
Cruise came to Ireland to 
promote. 

1090
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:32,280
This I know. 
That's how. 

1091
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:33,480
That's pretty. 
Well, so that's pretty well. 

1092
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,040
I just. 
Feel like Morgan Freeman isn't a

1093
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,240
value add on a movie like that. 
I think I think he might be you.

1094
00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:40,800
Think he is? 
You think people see a poster 

1095
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,560
for a Tom Cruise movie? 
Tom Cruise? 

1096
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,000
Scientologist. 
Don't worry. 

1097
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,480
Like he gives me the creeps. 
Morgan Freeman. 

1098
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,920
Oh, this will be good. 
Mr. Face of Christianity like 

1099
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,280
yeah, neutralizes Morgan. 
Freeman is the Facebook of 

1100
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,000
actors like. 
He's. 100% We also must mention 

1101
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,440
there are accusations of him 
doing bad things. 

1102
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,880
Everybody decided to just move 
on. 

1103
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,360
From quickly. 
I put him in the same category 

1104
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,600
as Dustin Hoffman, where people 
were just like, I think he's too

1105
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,680
old to do anything about it now,
but work dried up for Dustin. 

1106
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,880
What do you wanna do? 
Make him retire. 

1107
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,280
Yeah, work dried up for Dustin 
Hoffman. 

1108
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,960
I don't think work dried up for 
Morgan Freeman. 

1109
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,840
I think. 
I think he's still popping up 

1110
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:18,360
at. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1111
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,360
He's not not, not a not a nice 
guy. 

1112
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,440
I. 
Don't think he's a nice guy when

1113
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,160
he shows up in Now You See Me 
Now You Don't, though. 

1114
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,240
It's very funny. 
They like they they go into like

1115
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:30,600
a House of traps. 
And he's in now you see me, 

1116
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,640
isn't he? 
They's in all of them, yeah. 

1117
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,880
But they get to the final thing 
and it's and it's like, it's 

1118
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,920
like, thank you for coming. 
And Morgan Freeman steps out of 

1119
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,080
the shadows and like this 
enormous hat. 

1120
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,080
And you're just like. 
What? 

1121
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,920
And I realized in that moment 
that I hadn't actually seen him 

1122
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,000
in a cinema in about 7 years, 
that he had kind of like the 

1123
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,800
work had started to slow down a 
bit. 

1124
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,960
And I was like, yeah, it's nice 
to see him. 

1125
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,720
So there you go. 
Letterbox top four-game, but 

1126
00:49:56,720 --> 00:50:00,680
first time ever that two actors 
we've covered on this show have 

1127
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,360
named this in the Letterbox top 
4, Amy Adams and Zach 

1128
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,640
Galifianakis. 
However, I don't want to do 

1129
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,920
either of their top fours. 
No, I would like to do John 

1130
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,800
Cena's top 4. 
So John Cena has Shawshank 

1131
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,560
Redemption in his top four films
on Letterboxed. 

1132
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,160
This is a real fucking. 
That's a That's an interesting 

1133
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,360
one. 
This is a bit of a John Cena top

1134
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:20,480
four. 
Like it's, it's like he's. 

1135
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,920
Someone who likes to try and 
take himself somewhat seriously.

1136
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,640
I would say this is the list of 
someone who likes to take 

1137
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,640
themselves somewhat seriously. 
Yeah. 

1138
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,120
Relative to where? 
These are 4 movies in the IMDb 

1139
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,080
top 10 most popular. 
Film at all? 

1140
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:38,320
Yeah. 
So more or less so Shawshank is 

1141
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,160
#1 #2. 
The Godfather. 

1142
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,120
No #2 is a beloved science 
fiction 90s science fiction 

1143
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,400
movie with a bunch of sequels 
that I really don't care for. 

1144
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:53,680
Terminator no later. 
Later, a bit bit bit sexier 

1145
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,840
like. 
Sexier. 

1146
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,880
Very iconic cool sunglasses. 
I'm not a fad. 

1147
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:04,160
Matrix, The Matrix, The matrix 
#3 it's a war movie for boys. 

1148
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,480
It's just another version of 
Shawshank Saving Private Ryan. 

1149
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,400
Saving Private Ryan, Saving for 
Ryan and Shawshank are kind of 

1150
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,280
two sides. 
I think so. 

1151
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:15,560
And then 4th it's the most 
famous movie ever. 

1152
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:16,680
The. 
Godfather. 

1153
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,280
No more the most famous movie 
ever, little twat. 

1154
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,440
No, but the more famous? 
Just little little children with

1155
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,080
backpacks the world over. 
What is the most famous thing in

1156
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,160
culture? 
The most famous? 

1157
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,400
Thing in what is like the the 
dominant intellectual property. 

1158
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,440
Harry Potter. 
No more. 

1159
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,280
What is the most dominant? 
Bible. 

1160
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,760
No, no less than the Bible. 
Star Wars. 

1161
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,280
Oh, sorry I I I threw me off 
with. 

1162
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:43,760
Kids and backpacks there. 
I was sorry. 

1163
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,400
That's kids are fucking Grogu. 
Oh yes, he is coming. 

1164
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:48,360
Grogu. 
Sure, sure. 

1165
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,480
I thought there I was. 
Grogu's coming to the house 

1166
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:51,160
right there. 
You better. 

1167
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,640
You better fucking put some shit
away before he starts knocking 

1168
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,440
things over. 
Don't fuck Grogu. 

1169
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,200
Yeah, I'm here. 
OK? 

1170
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,360
I'm leaving. 
I'm going for a walk when he 

1171
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,600
comes. 
You'll have to take him for a 

1172
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:01,640
walk. 
He needs to be walked like a 

1173
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:02,840
dog. 
You're reminded of the. 

1174
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,440
This joke has run its course. 
Why were we doing that joke? 

1175
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,120
I don't, I don't know, I don't 
know a little boost the list, 

1176
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,920
the SEO if I put Grogu in the 
episode. 

1177
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,320
Yeah, we'll do a video clip. 
Of this week, Lucy and Shane 

1178
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,280
discuss Grogu can. 
We paste Grogu on to the MTR. 

1179
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,840
I'm sure there's 180 streams 
guaranteed. 

1180
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,600
OK, give me that box office now.
Yeah, for the weekend. 

1181
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,640
For the weekend, I think 9490. 4
September 23rd. 

1182
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,520
This came out in September. 
Wow. 

1183
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,920
It's a September movie. 
It's it's autumnal. 

1184
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,600
I don't know, in spite of being 
year round. 

1185
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:33,760
September is kind of was like a 
dumpy. 

1186
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:34,840
Do they do? 
Christmas in this. 

1187
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:36,960
Do they do Christmas? 
No, I don't think. 

1188
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,800
I think these guys have no idea 
what day of the week it is. 

1189
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,520
OK, I don't know. 
I I can't imagine they know when

1190
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,680
it's Christmas. 
Usually these time films drop a 

1191
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:44,480
Christmas and. 
They're right. 

1192
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,080
They do. 
Happy Christmas, Red. 

1193
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,800
Yeah. 
Happy Christmas, Andy. 

1194
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,840
All right, we're at the Peter 
Hyams film. 

1195
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,000
I know the name Peter Hyams, but
no, I'm going to need more 

1196
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,920
information there. 
This is a sorry, is this number 

1197
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,280
one, Josh? 
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. 

1198
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:03,360
I think this got a limited 
release. 

1199
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,440
OK. 
So I think it's not like 700,000

1200
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:06,320
this weekend. 
OK, OK. 

1201
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,600
So Peter Hyams. 
God, I'll leave some clues there

1202
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,400
now. 
This is a job. 

1203
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,080
OK, so what's the common job 
people have? 

1204
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,160
The plumber? 
A job where they give you a gun.

1205
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,600
The secret agent, The spy? 
No simpler a cop. 

1206
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,040
I'm a police. 
What type of cop? 

1207
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,760
I'm a SWAT cop. 
I'm a detective cop. 

1208
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,240
No. 
What is the name of the movie? 

1209
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,760
Like what is it a something? 
No, it's it's one word, but cop 

1210
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,480
is the last three letters. 
Kindergarten cop. 

1211
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:39,600
No type cop RoboCop. 
Type cop, Time cop Who's it Time

1212
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,920

00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,280
Jean Faude. 
Mia Sara. 

1215
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,280
Ron Silver. 
Yeah. 

1216
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,200
Mia Sara Killian Byrne Favorite.
Yeah. 

1217
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:56,240
All right. 
Next up, this is the phrase used

1218
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:59,200
to describe when you cannot fall
any faster. 

1219
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,400
You maximum multitude maximum. 
Close. 

1220
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,400
Velocity. 
Close Maximum velocity. 

1221
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,080
Total velocity. 
You just. 

1222
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,960
Word velocity is in there. 
Yeah, velocity is the second 

1223
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:12,400
word. 
I don't know. 

1224
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:13,240
Tell me. 
Terminal.

Oh yeah, there's a, there's a 

1226
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,080
Rebecca Miller movie called 
Personal Velocity. 

1227
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,200
Personal Velocity, Yeah, I think
that's what it's called anyway. 

1228
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,160
All right. 
And Darren Safarian. 

1229
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:23,160
Nah. 
Fake movie. 

1230
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,280
Charlie Sheen. 
Oh Christ. 

1231
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,360
Yeah, the ladies were rough. 
Next up, our BP of the the 

1232
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,440
winner the year on our boy 
party, but our best picture. 

1233
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,680
Yeah, Forest, Forest. 
Yep #4 is also nominated for 

1234
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,720
Best picture this year. 
Pulp Fiction. 

1235
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,720
Nope. 
Quiz show? 

1236
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,440
Yep cool, pretty good Dodge 
autoro and ray fines. 

1237
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,720
Yeah. 
All right. 

1238
00:54:47,720 --> 00:54:53,160
Next up is would be coming up a 
bit easier if yeah, Letterbox 

1239
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:58,560
search was a bit more forgiving.
But this is a film we have 

1240
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,560
probably mentioned on one of our
episodes. 

1241
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,720
Maybe, I don't know, Phillip 
Noyce. 

1242
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,960
I've been thinking about him 
recently, I don't know what it 

1243
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,960
is though. 
Truth needs a soldier. 

1244
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,400
I don't know. 
The poster is the lead actor 

1245
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,520
wrapped in an American flag. 
He's in black and white, but the

1246
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:17,840
flag is. 
Is he has a Ford? 

1247
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,480
He is Patriot Games. 
Nope. 

1248
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,680
Clear presentation, correct. 
Yeah. 

1249
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,560
Jack Riot, that is a cool 
poster. 

1250
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,320
I actually like that poster, I 
guess. 

1251
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,200
Yeah, one more. 
One more and then I'll wrap off 

1252
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,720
glass. 
Oh, we got a a bald man on the 

1253
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:36,120
poster. 
Is it Bruce? 

1254
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,760
No, it this kind of looks like 
the Almost Famous poster a 

1255
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,840
little bit. 
So it's just a guy with 

1256
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,680
sunglasses close up. 
I have absolute It's not the 

1257
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,160
people versus Larry Flint. 
Nope, I have absolutely no idea 

1258
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,560
what this could. 
Be Robert Downey Junior is third

1259
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,160
build. 
I have absolutely no idea what 

1260
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:52,640
Tommy Lee Jones. 4th build. 
No idea. 

1261
00:55:53,280 --> 00:56:00,120
This is a film by Oliver Stone. 
So it's Natural Born Killers. 

1262
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:00,520
Yeah. 
Sorry. 

1263
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,200
I actually like, I, I guessed 
Woody Harrelson. 

1264
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,520
I guessed People versus Larry. 
I knew it was Woody Harrelson, 

1265
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:06,880
but it's a different Larry. 
Woody Harrelson. 

1266
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:08,320
Oh, yeah, It's Natural Born 
Killers. 

1267
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:09,160
Yeah. 
That's funny. 

1268
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,080
OK. 
And round and out the rest of 

1269
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,840
the top 10, seven. 
We had the mask, then Milk, 

1270
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,960
Money, True Lies and Karina. 
Karina or Karna? 

1271
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:19,680
Yeah. 
So the mask was out. 

1272
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,200
So this was this was the big Jim
Carrey year where he did Dumb 

1273
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,560
and Dumber, Ace Ventura and the 
mask. 

1274
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,360
And we will be returning to this
year next week. 

1275
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,200
Yeah, when we do dumb. 
And Dumber couple other films on

1276
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,560
the list here. 
Speed. 

1277
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,840
Shawshank Shinners List. 
Jurassic Park. 

1278
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:35,360
All the s s. 
All the s s. 

1279
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,800
There you go, there you go. 
Thanks so much for shooting in 

1280
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,760
everybody to our Shawshank 
Redemption episode. 

1281
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,920
We hope we didn't shit all over 
your favorite movie. 

1282
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,240
If you are a man in your 60s, 
you probably. 

1283
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:45,600
Morgan Freeman was top build on 
this. 

1284
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,280
No, I don't think so. 
No, But like they put him in for

1285
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:51,840
the Oscars, so who cares? 
Who cares? 

1286
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,600
You're right, though. 
This is this is this is a case 

1287
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,720
where I'm like, we should talk 
about the billing on a yeah 

1288
00:56:56,720 --> 00:56:58,960
podcast where we nominally are 
interested in billing. 

1289
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:05,480
I think Robbins is first build. 
I'd say it was fairly fucking 

1290
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,320
interchangeable at the time. 
Who was first and. 

1291
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,120
Who was trying to think where 
the status was at the? 

1292
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:11,920
Time. 
I would honestly say that race 

1293
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,440
probably did play into it a 
little bit. 

1294
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,040
I don't know how much leverage 
Morgan Freeman ever had to be 

1295
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,800
like. 
If they if they having a night 

1296
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,080
away from devil was proud of two
yeah. 

1297
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,120
If they did Shawshank 
Redemption, two yeah. 

1298
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:24,920
Who you who you call them top 
build. 

1299
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,560
Think Morgan Freeman would be 
top build? 

1300
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,960
No, I think that the standard 
for legacy equals is generally 

1301
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,880
that repeat. 
They repeat the original, 

1302
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,800
original top two. 
I've seen very few cases where 

1303
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,720
that's not the case. 
The Avatar movies interesting 

1304
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,880
example. 
Zoe Saldania becomes a much 

1305
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,200
bigger star than Sam 
Worthington. 

1306
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,920
So what they do is instead of 
putting her first, they do split

1307
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,760
bottom left, top right for the 
two of them now on the Avatar 

1308
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,920
movies, which is interesting. 
But if you look at the billing 

1309
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,120
on the poster where it's 
actually in like an order where 

1310
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,640
the pencil comes first, OK, 
which is interesting. 

1311
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,240
I guess Jake is still kind of 
the main character in those 

1312
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:00,200
films. 
But he is. 

1313
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,000
Like he's a narrator so oh the 
third one, he was the narrator. 

1314
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,480
The kid was anyway. 
Doesn't matter. 

1315
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,560
Shawshank Redemption double #2 
next week. 

1316
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:10,320
Some things you can check out 
right now. 

1317
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,400
You can listen to our Devil 
Wears Prada 2 bonus episode till

1318
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,400
Saturday, which is good fun 
because we liked it. 

1319
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,320
We liked it and we like Devil. 
Wears Prada. 

1320
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,120
We talk very well. 
Wears Prada 2 is a better film 

1321
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,920
than Shawshank Redemption. 
It is, it is. 

1322
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:29,160
You can listen to the most 
recent episode of my spin off 

1323
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,960
podcast, City Sickos, where 
myself and Hannah Friedel talk 

1324
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,280
about the movie Blue Jasmine and
the movie Veronica Guerin as a 

1325
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,560
San Francisco at Dublin movie 
starring Kate Botchet. 

1326
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,440
And we'll be back next week. 
Thank you so much for tuning in.

1327
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,520
Bye bye. 
Goodbye.
