Ep. 65 - Movie Bracket Madness Finale

May 28

Written By Alex Christian

William:

Well, Alex, do you want me to make you feel better? I am a man who

Alex:

Mm.

William:

stands corrected. I was listening

Alex:

Oh?

William:

through part two of Around of 32, and I

Alex:

Oh?

William:

made some assertion that a certain three-minute score on YouTube trumped all of Star Trek 2009.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

William:

As far as quality, I went

Alex:

Yes!

William:

back I was like, I got goosebumps.

Alex:

Thank you.

Cody:

Ha ha!

William:

I was, I wanted to like, like

Alex:

Uh-huh.

William:

put an American flag on my shoulder and like run out

Dallas:

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

William:

into the yard and was brought to tears once. So

Cody:

Oh.

William:

I stand corrected, sir. I will own up

Alex:

Wow.

William:

to it

Alex:

I...

William:

and I will admit it.

Alex:

I don't know how to, I don't even feel like

William:

Okay.

Alex:

gloating right now because I introduced you to one of the best movie soundtracks of all time. Like it,

William:

No,

Alex:

you're welcome.

William:

I love that movie, but for whatever reason, the gravity of that

Dallas:

Oh.

Cody:

Hey-oh.

Alex:

Call back!

William:

score does not lay on me like it does most specifically Cody, who has scores on repeat.

Alex:

I thought you actually coughed for a second

William:

Oh,

Dallas:

William:

it was convincing, wasn't it?

Cody:

I have Star Trek Beyond on vinyl.

William:

Yeah, and of course you do. Of course you do. Um, but I don't think

William:

But we have moved out of our round of 32, and we are moving into the sweet 16 for our movie brackets. So if you have made it this far in the episode, a doctor, a lawyer, a pilot, and a professor have all walked into a bar, as baby. Yeah, I'm not even gonna try to bro here. I just

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

William:

it's not me. It's not gonna work. Our March Madness is movies. And

Cody:

Mm-hmm.

William:

we worked our ways. I don't want anyone to say we slogged our way through 32 because I got to the end of it. And I was like, that was amazing. Holy cow, we've been recording for two hours!

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha

William:

It was a four hour stint to get through our 32 picks for the top all time in our opinion. We had some upsets. Uh, some...

Alex:

and some Upset hosts,

Cody:

…some hurt feelings.

William:

There's there were there are I've got some tomato stains on my shirt, but I don't regret anything because…

Dallas:

Blood stains. It's been a time.

William:

Should we do we need to sidebar this… is there…?

Dallas:

Listen, that was an intense game of rock, paper, scissors.

Cody:

Don't worry. Don't worry. He inverted the blood stains back into his body. It's

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

There we go.

William:

But we are moving into our suite 16 and I we're gonna hit the ground running or jump right out of the gate. Alex, do you want to introduce the first round here?

Alex:

Yes, so bringing going back to that feel good bracket, we've got James and the giant peach

Dallas:

yeah we do.

Cody:

The apex of all cinema.

Alex:

…going up against The Order of the Phoenix.

William:

The amount of comments and messages from listeners. James and the giant peach, are you serious?

Alex:

They're not wrong.

Dallas:

When you hit gold, you hit gold

Alex:

They are absolutely justified to be upset with that. They're absolutely

William:

Oh,

Alex:

right to be justified with that.

William:

trying to play for the prize pack and right out of the gate, that one's wrong on every

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

William:

single

Dallas:

ha ha ha

William:

bracket.

Dallas:

ha ha

William:

So, I'll admit it. This one.

Alex:

You all take such immense joy

Alex:

in screwing up other people's lives…

William:

I do! I do!

William:

We come from the same gene pool of agents of chaos.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha

William:

Okay, so James and the Giant Peach vs. Order of the Phoenix. Should we, are we gonna vote like American Idol and just count to three? One, two, three.

Cody:

James and the Giant Peach.

Dallas:

James

the

Giant

Peach

Alex:

Order of the Phoenix and what world is it James on the giant peach?

Dallas:

MY world!

Alex:

You guys are…

Dallas:

That was my pick. Why wouldn't I keep going with it?

Alex:

Order of the Phoenix. Order of the Phoenix is better

William:

Obviously, I'm going Order.

Cody:

It's order the Phoenix.

Dallas:

Whatever.

Dallas:

That's the greatest movie of all time.

Cody:

It has my favorite wizard duel. It...

William:

Oh yeah.

Cody:

It has the best villain in Dolores Umbridge.

Alex:

Don't get me wrong, I love the scene where the Weasley boys throw fireworks into the room

William:

Ugh, yes.

Alex:

and ride off into the sunset. Great scene. Yeah, even though I was saying like I liked Sorcerer’s Stone better, there's no earthly way that you could get me

Cody:

Alex:

to watch James and the Giant Peach ever again.

Dallas:

Sorry that your opinion sucks.

William:

I thought you were gonna throw your rotten tomato there. I

Dallas:

I almost did, but I know for a fact that it's gonna lose out of sheer... Being alive for as long as I have been. There's no way it's gonna win.

Alex:

Wow.

Cody:

In the post-Columbus era, in the post-John Williams era of Harry Potter films, I think Order of the Phoenix is the best.

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

So my to Order of the Phoenix.

Dallas:

There’s no songs, there’s no dancing. There's no singing. It's a heartless movie, but that's fine. If you guys…

Cody:

Dallas:

like heartless movies, I'm cool with it.

Alex:

If that's what it means to have a heart, I don't. I don't have one.

William:

Or if that's the compromise he has to make,

Dallas:

William:

to make order of the Phoenix advance in this bracket, then fine.

Cody:

The fact that Miriam Margolies is in a movie that lost to a movie without Miriam Margolies, William, I'm surprised.

William:

I know you had said movies with Sean Connery are better than movies without Sean Connery and Alex movies with Samuel L. Jackson

Cody:

William:

are better than movies without Samuel L. Jackson.

Alex:

That was- that was completely a joke.

William:

Alex:

I don't believe that.

Cody:

Dallas:

I do.

William:

I I Love Miriam Margolies. I think she is like wonderfully like, crass and hilarious and I just I've read her autobiography, but she is head of house, yes, but order of the Phoenix advances for me. And I think it advances for everybody. So...

Alex:

Yes, so that puts our first entrance into the Elite 8, Order of the Phoenix.

Cody:

Does it advance for Dallas?

Dallas:

I'm gonna split off into my own multiverse

Alex:

Oh, he doesn't have a choice.

William:

Ha ha ha.

Dallas:

Just you wait.

Cody:

So three to one

William:

he's not throwing his tomato, so order of the phoenix advances.

Cody:

okay.

Alex:

Alright, next, we have Empire Strikes Back vs. Clue. Is there any discussion here, or do we all agree?

Cody:

I love Clue, but The Empire Strikes Back is the greatest sequel of all time.

Alex:

Yep.

William:

This is why I did not throw my rotten tomato for what we do in the shadows.

Dallas:

because you knew.

William:

It was going to go up against Empire.

Cody:

Empire is the 800 pound gorilla in the room.

Dallas:

William:

the Elite Eight is going to be interesting. Okay, so moving on to the Elite Eight, we have Empire Strikes Back versus order of the phoenix.

Dallas:

Mmm.

Cody:

we're culling all of the obvious choices here in this week 16

William:

Uh, yeah.

Dallas:

Right, yeah.

Alex:

Then we're gonna start getting real testy

Dallas:

Our children are gonna start fighting each other soon

William:

Ha ha ha!

Alex:

Right. So order the Phoenix out of the feel good and then we've got the underdog…

Cody:

STILL. Order of the Phoenix as a feel-good movie.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I didn't.

William:

It's genius, you don't question the genius.

Alex:

Yeah, the feel good and the underdog conference. We've got those knocked out both in the elite eight. That's going to take us down to our classics conference. We've got dead poet society going up against 12 angry men. This one might be hard.

Cody:

I'm undecided because we have the Robin Williams factor with Dead Poet Society.

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

And how much do we want real life to inform if it advances? But at the same time, 12 Angry Men is a classic that stood the test of time for a reason.

William:

And it's interesting because going into this, seeing Casablanca, Dead Poets Society, Shawshank Redemption and 12 of Angry Men, I would have said Dead Poets is advancing. Like, no question, that's gonna be the one to come out of those four. I did not expect 12 Angry Men to rocket up to the level that it did. Having never seen it, Dead Poets Society, I've seen multiple times.

Cody:

I'm gonna let other people vote.

*Group Silence*

William:

Crickets

Dallas:

boy.

William:

crickets

William:

chirp chirp chirp

Dallas:

Dead Poets is a fantastic movie and it touches me in a very special way. That…uh…in an appropriate way.

Alex:

I don't like the way that tasted.

Dallas:

In an appropriate way. Yeah, that one touched me a different way, but this one is very meaningful. Is that better?

William:

Yes.

Dallas:

Very, very meaningful.

Cody:

Yeah

Dallas:

All the way through it. And Twelve Angry Men I love but it does not make me feel as heavy. I could watch Twelve Angry Men anytime. I kind of feel like I have to be in a very

Alex:

Interesting.

Dallas:

specific mindset to watch Dead Poets Society.

William:

you leave that movie hopeful.

Alex:

Interesting.

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

I would be the inverse actually. That's so strange. I know that there's a very dramatic ending to dead poet society. So I'm going to vote dead poet society, in all honesty. I think Robin Williams gives the hope for that next generation in his send off in the class going through hardship. They, they say we can do this because “We're taking on the world, facing these challenges.” I think there's far more hope in dead poet society. I think 12 angry men has me go, 12 angry men has me say to myself, “there's something fundamentally wrong with our justice system, and people don't think or talk like this anymore.” And it makes me sad for humanity.

Cody:

I feel that way every time I watch Lincoln. People don't talk like this anymore.

Alex:

So all that to say, Dead Poets Society gets my vote.

William:

That is, that just tells you the caliber of these movies because Dallas said, I leave dead poet society heavy. I leave 12 angry men hopeful. Alex said the opposite, and I can see both. They're so, they're just, they're so beautifully complex. I am going to have to go with my gut and go dead poet society.

Alex:

Wow. All right, Cody, you have a chance to either bring us to a tie or solidify Dead Poets Society.

Cody:

Dallas won me over 12 angry men.

Dallas:

Oh.

Alex:

Wow, so we are to a tie.

Cody:

Shall I call my wife? She's watched both of these movies with me.

William:

Alex:

yes I know where this is going. I think we're gonna have 16 angry men when this is all said and done

Cody:

William:

Well, no, Dallas was your pick, 12 angry men.

Dallas:

Yes, it was 12 Angry Men.

William:

Okay, it's a tie. Is Michelle still awake?

Cody:

She is awake. I'll go get her.

William:

Okay.

Alex:

I mean, I know what you're saying. Like there's that hope of like “12 men had a discussion, sat together, thought this through and the idea that there was reasonable doubt that won the day.” That's great. However, that's not how the system actually works

Dallas:

Well, that's exactly how it works. You get 12 randoms in a room. That's what happens.

Alex:

Well, yeah, but they normally it's the court of public opinion.

Dallas:

Well that's how that one was. It just happened there was one guy who was gonna stick it out.

Alex:

Oh, Cody is back

Dallas:

That was fast.

Alex:

He’s alone, so this is interesting.

Cody:

My sweet, introverted wife, who has no desire to actually be on the podcast, wishes to convey to me that her vote goes to 12 angry men.

William:

knew that was gonna happen.

Alex:

See, I'm gonna have to file a petition there because she was not present to count it herself

Alex:

This is like the politicians who use those sticks to vote and say that their neighbor is present

William:

But Cody said that during the initial watch through of the bracket…

Alex:

No, I know.

William:

…Was easy because Michelle was on board. They got to Dead Poets Society and she said, nope, I'm out.

Dallas:

Ha!

William:

So.

Cody:

Yep. Yep.

Alex:

Hey, 12 Angry Men, I'm gonna be happy if we do get to discuss that

Dallas:

That’s the thing, both of these are, I would have been cool either way.

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

My initial bracket said dead poet society, but Dallas changed my mind.

Alex:

Wow!

Dallas:

I did not have a pick in going into this one, so I…

Alex:

But then you thought about it and you're like, oh,

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

All right. So 12 Angry Men goes on to the Elite Eight and that takes us to the Animated Conference where we have Prince of Egypt going up against Wall-E.

Cody:

*singing* you that I called brother?

Alex:

Yeah, Wall-E wins for me for sure

William:

Uh huh. Me too.

Alex:

Absolutely.

Dallas:

Yeah, I think it wins.

Cody:

How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How?

William:

HA! He already threw his tomato!

Dallas:

Wait, I wasn't watching the screen, son of...

Cody:

How?

Alex:

How? well, let me see here. One, the CG, the animation is beautiful

Cody:

I'm sorry,

Alex:

Two.

Cody:

the traditional animation in The Prince of Egypt tops anything that Pixar puts out. Period.

Dallas:

Oh.

Alex:

Not really, no.

Dallas:

sell it to me, Cody. Let me take my vote back. I didn't take my hand off of the piece yet. Ha ha ha ha.

Alex:

I already wrote down

Cody:

Wall-E is a great movie. Prince of Egypt is the greatest. Is one of the greatest. One of the best soundtracks.

Alex:

You know what Dallas, here's where I'll let you take back this vote, but I'm gonna need your help later on. So you know what, we'll

William:

Uh.

Alex:

form an alliance.

Cody:

Sorry, hand drawn animation for me tops CGI every day of the week for the artistry of it. For the artistry of

William:

It's just a different medium.

Alex:

Yeah, with you on that one. It's not like we're talking about like...

Cody:

Oh, is it art?

Dallas:

No!

Cody:

Dallas:

Hahaha!

William:

Oh!

Dallas:

Cody may not have a tomato, but he's got a shiv, and he's really used it.

Alex:

Ha Cody's knives are out right now.

William:

They're the only ones because it lost.

Alex:

Yeah, y'all's...

Cody:

Bye.

Dallas:

That was so fast.

Alex:

Yeah...

William:

Okay, so two for Wall-E, one for Prince of Egypt. For the sake of chaos, Alex let Dallas retract his vote.

Alex:

only if he's gonna help me out later one when we’ve got some Nolan

Dallas:

I didn't say I was retracting it to give it. I was retracting it to see if Cody would sell me on.

William:

Damn.

Alex:

Did he sell you on it?

Cody:

Ralph Fiennes as a villain, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Val Kilmer in his prime, a Mariah Carey song that does not make me homicidal, Whitney Houston, through Heaven's Eyes is a jam, Prince of Egypt has the best soundtrack, the artistry

Alex:

Hey Dallas, he just listed off a whole bunch of celebrities.

Cody:

all of which are in this movie.

Alex:

Do you care about the Oscars?

Dallas:

I don't

Alex:

Do you care about the Golden Globes?

Dallas:

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Alex:

But they've got a whole bunch of celebrities, Dallas! They've got Mariah Carey sitting there

Dallas

Well see, here’s the kicker: I don't have strong feelings towards either one of these movies, so... I have the same amount of feelings. They're both fantastic movies.

Cody:

I’ve seen Wall-E ONCE.

Alex:

I kind of feel like Dallas might be harboring some anger about a certain “park” movie.

William:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

What was it called? Jurassic?

Dallas:

Alex is really trying to turn me against Cody here, is he?

Alex:

Cody…he screwed you over if I remembered Dallas. Do you remember that?

Dallas:

Oh, I do.

Alex:

I even tried giving Dallas a best three out of five when I inadvertently said best of three the first time!

Dallas:

I had to go back for another heart surgery after that movie.

William:

What to have it put it back, because we ripped it out?

Dallas:

it's true.

Cody:

WALL-E is amazing. I will contend with that. But The Prince of Egypt is a tentpole movie in the history of animation.

Alex:

So is Wall-E. Here's how I would say which one has better artistry. Which one of these two movies got a criterion collection release? It wasn’t Prince of Egypt…

Dallas:

You’re selling me… on not picking wall-e.

William:

Ha ha!

Alex:

Hey, look, if Cody's trying to tell you that it's about artistry, they have not been acknowledged by other artists.

Dallas:

Alright, I think I have my decision.

William:

Okay.

Dallas:

I don't remember as much about Prince of Egypt, and I think that makes me lean towards Wall-E. Because I remember that movie. It does not harbor any nostalgia for me, and I don't remember that whole movie. I remember bits and pieces of it like it's a dream. Wall-E, I remember, so….

Cody:

Dallas. Dallas.

Dallas:

I have to…

Cody:

Jeff Goldblum is in Prince of Egypt.

Alex:

He’s actually right. But Dallas, you know the fact is, if you don't remember the Prince of Egypt, there's like a 3000 year old book that

William:

Alex:

you can open and at any point and get a refresher if you want?

Dallas:

I don't want to have any spoilers when I go and watch it again.

Cody:

It’s the only Bible movie that unites all three monotheistic religions and secular culture. Like…

Dallas:

I was waiting for somebody to bring that up.

Alex:

I think that's a sign of the end times times

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

William:

I’m going to change my vote to Prince of Egypt.

Alex:

What? William! You just want to watch me suffer?

William:

I have to extract my own personal attachment.

Alex:

fine, but when Interstellar comes around, I need some help

Cody:

I'm so attached to the Prince of Egypt that I fell to the dark side. I have so much attachment to it. No? Anybody? Not?

Dallas:

I don't.

Cody:

Didn't get it? Okay.

William:

Attachment. It’s a thing for Jedi.

Dallas:

I…

Alex:

Well,

William:

space wars. Yeah.

Dallas:

At first I was like, did you like start rooting for the Pharaoh? I don't.

Alex:

So we are tied two to two

Dallas:

Oh boy.

William:

Dallas, is Kala's still awake?

Dallas:

She is, you want me to go ask her?

William:

Yes.

Dallas:

All right.

Alex:

He's gonna walk around the corner, close the door just long enough, and then walk right back in. Like mom said yes, we can play.

William:

Ha ha ha ha ha!

William:

Kala!

William:

Kala, our unofficial rule that we made up on the spot was anytime that we were tied.

Kala:

Wall-e and Prince of Egypt. Hold on, he's still talking. He's still talking because he can't hear you.

William:

Oh.

Alex:

This is great. I love seeing Dallas actually interrupt in real life because normally he just sits there and doesn't say anything until he’s got a zippy one-liner and we love it.

William:

Well, our unofficial rule that we made up on the spot is anytime that we are tied, if one of our significant others is still awake, they are the tiebreaker. And we are between Wall-E and the Prince of Egypt.

Kala:

Do I just get to pick?

William:

Yeah.

Kala:

Prince of Egypt.

Cody:

Yes!

William:

Ooh!

Alex:

WHA-

Cody:

Yes!

William:

Wow!

Alex:

Wow, Dallas is just getting screwed over left and right. Like all of his picks are just getting “you suck, you suck, you suck!”

Kala:

But Wally is one of those movies. It's like, oh, it's so good. It's quotable. of Egypt, I could watch over and over and over again.

William:

It is pretty timeless. Yeah.

Kala:

I'm sorry.

Cody:

Thank you.

William:

Prince of Egypt advances.

William:

Thank you. Kala McKinney for the tiebreaker, taking us into overtime.

Alex:

our bracket is more busted than the regular bracket

Alex:

Alright... Guys, that is our first four into the Elite 8. I think that's the perfect time for us to take a commercial break. Cody, you won, and you seem to be on... You got all

Dallas:

Alex:

Cody:

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Alex:

…your picks - Order the Phoenix Empire, 12 Angry Men, and now Prince of Egypt. You are responsible for our outro music,

Alex:

And we will be right back.

[FIRST BREAK]

William:

I keep wanting to hum. Da da da da da. John Cena's walk on music

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha!

William:

WWE was a big thing in college for a while there, wasn’t it?

Dallas:

Yes, it was.

William:

Especially with the room that we were living.

Dallas:

Oh boy.

Cody:

You know Dallas, I only ever went to one session of “wrasslin” at the

Dallas:
That’s all you need.

Cody:

I didn't go to more. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Dallas:

Yeah,

William:

That's

Dallas:

it's

William:

all

Dallas:

just

William:

you needed.

Dallas:

the same, just different

Cody:

நான்...

Dallas:

police officers and EMS workers show up, but it's the same.

Cody:

William:

So when I have made everybody at my office take the Hogwarts sorting quiz, like whether they want to or not, like they've

Alex:

Naturally.

William:

got to take it naturally. I had like part of the initiation into the room that we were living in, you had to pick out your walk on music for wrestling.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha!

William:

It- it- different strokes for different folks I guess, but speaking of wrestling... No, not

Dallas:

No? No?

William:

for this

Dallas:

William:

that you can get from this. Like, I

Alex:

How you gonna get that one? How are you gonna

William:

don't

Alex:

transition that one, Paul?

William:

know. Speaking of wrestling,

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha

Alex:

Mr.

Dallas:

ha ha ha ha

Alex:

Blart?

Dallas:

William:

this

Cody:

I mean Tom Cruise wrestled aliens does that count?

William:

This is the side of the bracket that I'm most excited about. Because a lot of these are not necessarily my picks and I've already thrown my tomato.

Alex:

it's

William:

Alex:

gonna

William:

man.

Alex:

get spicy.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha.

Cody:

Listen, listen, I was telling everybody offline that the only reason I fought as hard as I did for Prince of Egypt was how you badmouth the good name of Hercules

William:

Ha ha ha ha

Cody:

and

William:

Cody:

the

Dallas:

the

William:

ha ha

Cody:

muses.

Alex:

All right,

Cody:

Hahahaha

Alex:

you know what? I own up to that, but I also love the Prince of Egypt, so I'm

Cody:

Thank

Alex:

kinda

Cody:

you.

Alex:

doing all right.

Dallas:

Cody:

And the animated bracket, three of the four were my babies. Wally was the only one that wasn't my baby.

William:

Yep. Yep. It was my

Alex:

William:

baby

Alex:

love

William:

and I

Alex:

Wally.

William:

voted against it.

Dallas:

I've lost a lot of children. That's all I gotta say.

William:

Oh, hey, you still got that tomato there, buddy.

Dallas:

Oh, I know.

William:

I'm very, oh, okay, so

Dallas:

I'm not even

William:

this.

Dallas:

gonna use it to save one of mine, I'm just gonna use it to ruin somebody's day.

Cody:

Dallas:

Haha.

William:

Yes! Yes! Alright, well these are the descendants from the time travel bracket. We had Edge of Tomorrow versus Tenet and Inception versus Interstellar. And coming out of that first matchup was Edge of Tomorrow, which is now going up against Interstellar. I've left it.

Alex:

If no one wants to start it, I will.

William:

I love the blanks.

Cody:

All right,

Alex:

If no one wants

Dallas:

Cody:

all right

Alex:

William:

It's

Alex:

start

William:

just

Alex:

it, I'll start

William:

the

Alex:

it.

William:

tense

Alex:

And I'll

William:

anticipation.

Alex:

be honest.

Cody:

the

Alex:

Look, I love Edge of Tomorrow, one of my top 20 there. I adore Interstellar. Now I'm going to lean into the good faith of the intention of why we are doing this.

William:

Hmm?

Alex:

Interstellar would make for a far better commentary. It is deeper. We love to wax philosophically. As much as I love Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt kicking alien tail, the depth, complexity, and excitement of Interstellar gets my vote.

Cody:

Listen, after the debacle that was Prestige vs Illusionist last year, I

William:

Ha ha

Cody:

very much

Dallas:

Cody:

soured on Nolan. Now,

Alex:

But

Cody:

granted,

Alex:

you love

Cody:

there are

Alex:

interstellar!

Cody:

only

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha!

Cody:

two Nolan films that I will say that I do not like. And that is The Prestige and Tenet.

Alex:

No way!

Cody:

It is good fun. Interstellar does what the problem I have with other Nolan movies. Bad, he has bad characters.

Alex:

I will.

Cody:

Matthew McConaughey won me over in Interstellar.

Alex:

I'm gonna bite my tongue

Cody:

Alex:

because

Cody:

gotta give it to Interstellar.

Alex:

even though I disagree here, voting my way.

Dallas:

Yeah,

Cody:

Thank you. Bye.

Dallas:

yeah,

William:

Ha ha

Dallas:

do you

William:

Dallas:

really

William:

ha!

Dallas:

want him to take his hand

Alex:

No, I do not.

Dallas:

and put it back on that piece?

William:

Hehehe.

Alex:

No, but I genuinely think Interstellar would be a way more fun like we love to wax philosophically and I mean talk about a movie that's built

Cody:

Also,

Alex:

for

Cody:

there's

Alex:

it.

Cody:

a character named Murphy, so I can't really

Alex:

Right?

Cody:

vote again. Hahahaha

Alex:

You have to. Practically have to.

William:

That's the Jeff Goldblum card for you. Like,

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha.

William:

it's my name.

Cody:

Like going into

William:

Uh.

Cody:

this, I was so not looking forward to the Nolan bracket that I wanted Edger tomorrow to win, but Interstellar won me over.

Alex:

This is kinda like how the Bush family thinks things work and Jeb's like, my last name's Bush.

Dallas:

Alex:

And

Dallas:

ha.

Alex:

instead

Cody:

Yeah.

Alex:

it's like, instead it's like, his name's Murphy, my name's Murphy, it actually works if it's Murphy. So

Dallas:

Ha ha

Alex:

any

Dallas:

ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

would-be politicians just so you know, Murphy automatically gets a vote.

Cody:

Oh, trust me, we'll see where it goes from here.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha!

William:

Eugh. Like

Cody:

Dallas Williams?

William:

I am not too proud to push a pick through just because it was my pick. Because honestly, I did not expect some of these to go up against the others. And I have to remain objective about this. Now, Eugh. Hmm, hmm, hmm. I don't

Alex:

Mind

William:

know, now.

Alex:

you, both of these were my picks,

Dallas:

See,

Alex:

so I know what

Dallas:

I have

Alex:

you

Dallas:

the

Alex:

mean.

Dallas:

opposite conundrum. I refuse to be objective in

William:

Ha ha ha!

Dallas:

this. And I am only voting out of spite.

William:

I don't know. I got

Alex:

Well.

William:

you a

Dallas:

No,

William:

consolation

Dallas:

I'm just kidding.

William:

prize for the Jurassic Park debacle for

Dallas:

You

William:

that.

Dallas:

do?

William:

Yeah, I have a prize for you. So next time we see you all, I'll get it to you.

Dallas:

Oh, really? I thought it was going to be you were going to pull our votes against...

William:

No, no, no, and those two

Alex:

Don't

William:

know about

Alex:

worry,

William:

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas,

Dallas:

ha.

Alex:

your consolation

William:

and they approve.

Alex:

prize is much like that, um, L8 that you and I won, the Blackberry L8, and that you'll never get to see it ever, even though you and I

Cody:

Alex:

won. Here's your prize.

Dallas:

Bye.

William:

Bye.

Alex:

Lift it up on screen,

Cody:

I even

Alex:

set

Cody:

sent

Alex:

it down,

Cody:

William

Alex:

and

Cody:

the

Alex:

that's

Cody:

money.

Alex:

it.

William:

Yeah, and every time that you come here, I even show you where they are and you just leave without them.

Cody:

I assumed you were sending that to them.

William:

Paying the shipping on that that was a consolation prize

Dallas:

William,

William:

from you

Dallas:

every

Cody:

That's

Dallas:

time

Cody:

why

Dallas:

Cody:

Dallas:

record,

Cody:

paid you

Dallas:

you should

Cody:

$24

Dallas:

drink one

Cody:

for the shipping!

Dallas:

on camera.

William:

Like the supply is just getting smaller and smaller

Dallas:

Yeah,

William:

and smaller,

Dallas:

I'd be like,

William:

Cody.

Dallas:

oh, hey, guys, and then every time. Don't

Cody:

Ha ha

Dallas:

even

Cody:

Dallas:

drink it. Just open it and let us watch it get flat on TV. Ha ha ha ha

Cody:

Oh, that's, that's heresy. That is heresy.

Dallas:

ha ha. I'm

William:

Dallas:

phony,

William:

am going to

Dallas:

William:

vote.

Dallas:

ahead.

William:

Oh, oh, oh.

Dallas:

No, go ahead, go ahead.

William:

I am going to vote edge of tomorrow.

Alex:

William.

William:

Because I almost, I wonder how much of interstellar, I wonder how much of that is praised just because Nolan was at the peak of his hype. Like this

Alex:

You

William:

was the

Alex:

just

William:

Alex:

watched

William:

up to

Alex:

it.

William:

Inception.

Alex:

It's a phenomenal movie.

William:

It is infinite. Like these two, I haven't been this conflicted as I was of 12 Anger Men versus Dead Poets Society. And Dead Poets Society I'd never seen before. I've seen both of these movies before, but... Yeah, I'm going with that just tomorrow. I'm gonna stick to

Alex:

Wow.

William:

it. That card has been

Dallas:

William:

laid

Dallas:

boy.

William:

and that card's been played.

Alex:

All right, Dallas.

Dallas:

I really enjoyed Interstellar when I watched it. I have only watched it one time. I don't know if that's one of those movies after you know the end. Does it still have magic?

Alex:

Guess you're gonna have to rewatch it when it wins it all, and you'll find out.

Cody:

I like how I'm not the chaos agent here.

Dallas:

Alex:

Don't

Dallas:

Much

Alex:

worry,

Dallas:

hot my children

Alex:

I have

Dallas:

have

Alex:

a trick

Dallas:

been

Alex:

Dallas:

taken

Alex:

my sleeve.

Dallas:

for me, so

Alex:

I have a trick up my sleeve, so.

Dallas:

I also, Alex just, I heard his keyboard rattle, he just secretly looked up the rotten tomato

Alex:

No, no

Dallas:

scores

Alex:

I didn't.

Dallas:

of all

Alex:

That

Dallas:

the

Alex:

was...

Dallas:

movies.

Alex:

Well, alright, this'll

Dallas:

Show me

Alex:

stay

Dallas:

your screen,

Alex:

in the...

Dallas:

show

Alex:

This'll

Dallas:

it.

Alex:

stay in the Patreon cut, um... After everyone heard all of our dishwasher horror story, I'm actually eating dinner for the first time now at 9 o'clock, so...

Dallas:

No.

Alex:

That was...

Dallas:

William:

Oh.

Alex:

Tim Foil. Sorry, that's also why I went... But I edit this so I get to remove the crinkle sound.

Dallas:

It's okay.

Cody:

I thought that

Dallas:

I guess.

Cody:

you guys were talking about my boom arm which fell fell over and I may accidentally made a noise

Dallas:

So I think, I don't, see I'm having a hard time. I would watch Edge of Tomorrow again, because it was just a fun movie. Interstellar was good. Now I do feel like the end was kind of like they just kind of made things up. They're like probably this is how it

Alex:

Now,

Dallas:

would work

Alex:

may

Cody:

It's the power

Alex:

I share

Cody:

of love.

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

again

William:

Alex:

these are both my top 20 selection.

Cody:

Hehehe

Alex:

I'll also say that that was a major complaint. Edge of Tomorrow based on a manga of a different name. They also changed the ending around because where he dies in oh shoot I should probably say spoiler

Cody:

for

Dallas:

Ha ha.

Cody:

a manga.

Alex:

Well, no, in the actual movie, at the end, where what happens in the water and he just comes, and then starts over again, that was completely made up. People were like, what happened there? I

Dallas:

Alex:

mean,

Dallas:

still

Alex:

you're

Dallas:

does

Alex:

talking about...

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

it. Interstellar they like there's like, I don't know, probably just on the other side of that bookcase. And this is.

Cody:

Welcome to the bookcase of doom!

Dallas:

Yeah, all of this we tried really hard to mimic science. But love probably in magic

William:

Ha ha

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

how

William:

Dallas:

we're going

William:

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

end

William:

Dallas:

this movie. So.

Alex:

Fourth dimension technically is what they say, but you know.

Dallas:

Okay, so you use a different word for made up than

Cody:

Listen,

Dallas:

I use.

Cody:

I am

Alex:

Hehehe

Cody:

a Superman fan and the fifth dimension is a whole other can of worms. We won't go there.

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

All right,

Dallas:

Alex:

so.

Dallas:

I will, oh man, we're landing on too many, split down the middle.

Alex:

Is it going to be split down the middle? Is that your vote?

Dallas:

know what I'm going to. I'm gonna split

Alex:

Alright,

Dallas:

it in the middle.

Alex:

guess what? My wife's over there. I'm gonna go grab her real quick. It's

Dallas:

You

Alex:

Dallas:

can't

Alex:

turn.

Dallas:

use your wife because we

Alex:

Too

Dallas:

know

Alex:

late.

Dallas:

that you

Alex:

It's

Dallas:

trained

Alex:

my turn.

Dallas:

her.

Alex:

Hey, hey,

Dallas:

You

Alex:

hey,

Dallas:

Alex:

hey, it's my turn. You guys, you guys got... Unless Kristen's ready, is Kristen... is Kristen

Dallas:

Yeah,

William:

Yeah,

Alex:

available,

Dallas:

she's

William:

Alex:

William?

Dallas:

William:

in the other room.

Dallas:

She's been watching

Alex:

It's

Dallas:

this

Alex:

Dallas:

whole

Alex:

race.

Dallas:

time.

William:

Now, like, it was...

Cody:

Or we could just call it Omar.

Dallas:

That's true. He's our collective wife.

Cody:

Yes, yes. Oh. So hi, Dallas.

Dallas:

Alex:

Oh boy, oh boy,

Cody:

Oh no.

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

Cody:

So we're doing

Dallas:

to get

Cody:

edge

Dallas:

his

Cody:

of tomorrow

Dallas:

wife.

Cody:

versus Transformers age of extinction.

Alex:

No.

Dallas:

Yeah. Which one do you think is a better movie? James and the Giant Peach or Jurassic Park?

Alex:

Is that really it? Jurassic

Cody:

No,

Dallas:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Alex:

Alex:

Okay. Wait, where did William go?

Dallas:

get his wife who's a race,

Alex:

Oh,

Dallas:

but he's

Alex:

Dallas:

still

Alex:

won

Dallas:

gone.

Alex:

the race. I win. Too late.

Cody:

Alex:

I'm

Cody:

ha.

Alex:

sorry, William, I won the race. I'm the

Dallas:

He's still

Alex:

best

Dallas:

getting

Alex:

racist.

Dallas:

hit.

Cody:

still can't hear you.

William:

Listen, I could hear the laughter

Alex:

Ha ha.

William:

from my headphones standing 20 feet away.

Dallas:

It was interdimensional love.

William:

Oh, mm-hmm, mm-hmm,

Dallas:

Sorry I made that up.

William:

mm-hmm.

Alex:

All right, Allie, we are on our third tie of the night. And this time it is edge

Dallas:

Stop

Alex:

Dallas:

looking

Alex:

tomorrow.

Dallas:

at her so much, you're telling

Alex:

Sorry,

Dallas:

her the answer

Alex:

oh,

Dallas:

with your

Alex:

oh,

Dallas:

eyes.

Alex:

oh, sorry. I'll put my

William:

Thank

Alex:

blinders

William:

you.

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

on. Here we go. It's interstellar versus edge of tomorrow. What is your vote? Oh man, that's a hard

Cody:

Have you

Alex:

one.

Cody:

seen both of those movies?

Alex:

I have and I've

Cody:

Okay.

Alex:

seen them both recently. Like within, for sure within the past year.

Cody:

Okay, okay.

Alex:

Um...

Cody:

She's undecided.

Alex:

I would say I would probably pick interstellar for the more

Dallas:

But...

Alex:

wholesome,

Cody:

But...

Alex:

am I allowed to do spoilers again? I'm sorry, I do this every time. Yeah, we already

Cody:

and see Frozen

Alex:

did a little

Cody:

on your

Alex:

light

Cody:

end.

William:

Thanks

Alex:

one. All

William:

for

Alex:

right,

William:

watching. Good day.

Alex:

I would do interstellar for the more wholesome of endings, even though it's a bittersweet moment. I would still say it's more wholesome than the ending of Edge of Tomorrow. Yes! Dallas wants to throw a rotten tomato to screw me over in which case go right ahead But that would be screwing over Ali twice in a row. So just keep that in mind. Just just just tuck that away She's so

Dallas:

Oh man,

Alex:

nice.

William:

Hmm.

Dallas:

you

Alex:

She's so

Dallas:

gotta

Alex:

do you

Dallas:

have

Alex:

see

Dallas:

Alex:

how

Dallas:

hostage,

Alex:

nice she

Dallas:

don't

Alex:

is?

Dallas:

you? You

William:

Dallas:

gotta

William:

ha ha!

Alex:

Look at

Dallas:

have

Alex:

this.

Dallas:

a hostage.

Alex:

Oh She's the best. Do you want to hurt her feelings? I will say I do listen to these episodes later

William:

I'm sorry.

Alex:

choice only

Dallas:

Ha ha

William:

Dallas:

Alex:

when the episode came out and I listened to it and I was heartbroken. Okay.

William:

I'm so sorry.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

William:

Now listen, Ally, I don't know why you guys thought this was gonna go any different because Ally walks by Alex's Christopher Nolan shrine

Alex:

Ha ha!

William:

every

Cody:

Yeah.

William:

night

Dallas:

Yeah, this through,

William:

Dallas:

yeah.

William:

their way to

Alex:

William:

their

Alex:

you

William:

bedroom.

Alex:

know how John Oliver bought a pair of leather underwear that Russell Crow wore and created a shrine to it?

Dallas:

Nope,

Alex:

Well,

Dallas:

not until

Alex:

Cody:

Yeah,

Dallas:

just

Alex:

don't

Cody:

it was

Dallas:

now.

Cody:

Russell

Alex:

have

Cody:

Crowe's

Alex:

that,

Cody:

jockstrap.

Alex:

I don't have that version for Christopher Nolan, but you

William:

Where

Alex:

know, I

William:

Alex:

thought

William:

this going?

Alex:

it would get everyone's heart racing for a split second, so that's good.

Dallas:

Cody:

No, he just, he goes to the, hey Arnold route and has a shrine of Christopher Nolan's head made out of gum.

Alex:

Correct, yes.

William:

Yeah,

Dallas:

Ha ha

William:

they

Dallas:

William:

went

Alex:

Oh,

William:

Alex:

William:

him.

Alex:

you've

William:

Alex:

been

William:

went

Alex:

William:

to...

Alex:

my living room. Okay, good.

William:

He went to a movie lot after they had finished like wrapped and he just scraped the gum off the

Cody:

Thank

William:

parking

Cody:

you.

William:

lot. Like

Dallas:

William:

maybe this is Nolan's. Maybe this is Nolan's.

Alex:

I did

William:

Let me

Alex:

a little

William:

just smell

Alex:

Jurassic

William:

it before I go to bed.

Alex:

Park and was like, let's see if I can get his DNA off of this used napkin. I'm gonna clone him. That's

Dallas:

Alex:

how

William:

All

Dallas:

doesn't

Alex:

I got

William:

Dallas:

work

William:

need

Alex:

kicked

Dallas:

that

William:

Alex:

off

Dallas:

way,

William:

a healthy

Alex:

Warner

Dallas:

I tried.

Alex:

Brothers

Cody:

Healthy.

William:

ovum

Alex:

Lot,

William:

and

Alex:

yeah.

William:

I could clone my own Christopher Nolan.

Alex:

All right, I'm no longer

Dallas:

Alex:

needed

Dallas:

Alex:

here. I'm gonna leave. Ha ha ha ha. We have

William:

Bye,

Alex:

weirded

William:

Ally.

Alex:

her out.

Cody:

Bye, Allie.

Alex:

Woo hoo! Bye, Allie, love you. Thank you, love you. Yes!

William:

Okay,

Dallas:

Now that she's

William:

so...

Dallas:

gone, I'm gonna

William:

Heheheheh

Dallas:

use my- No, I'm just-

Cody:

Alex:

That would have been amazing and terrible

Dallas:

Alex:

and I would have loved

Cody:

Alex:

it.

William:

Okay, so two things have we all agreed, Interstellar is advancing.

Dallas:

We agree

Cody:

Yes.

Dallas:

that it's advancing, we're not all agreeing that it was the better choice.

William:

You are correct, sir.

Dallas:

Okay.

Cody:

I was hoping for Edge of Tomorrow to win out, but I was

Alex:

Oh.

Cody:

just for the sake of the chaos, but I did vote for Interstellar.

William:

I will tell you, I am not going to tell you what the scores were, but I've already thrown my tomatoes. So,

Alex:

Oh,

William:

like,

Alex:

I am curious now. What would

William:

I've

Alex:

they

William:

been

Alex:

have been?

William:

looking up all of them. Number one, Kristen voted Edge of Tomorrow. And number two, Edge of Tomorrow beat Interstellar.

Dallas:

What?

Cody:

Whoa! Whoo!

Dallas:

I didn't throw it because I thought that it was not gonna win.

William:

It beat it.

Dallas:

Wow.

William:

It did. Yeah, I won't tell you what the scores were, but Edgy of Tomorrow beat it.

Dallas:

There you go.

Alex:

Dallas:

I did

Alex:

Dallas:

not

Alex:

Dallas:

know

William:

I'm

Alex:

lot

Dallas:

that.

William:

glad that

Alex:

by like a lot or like,

William:

a significant margin,

Alex:

oh,

William:

Alex:

was that

William:

it would

Alex:

combining

William:

be...

Alex:

the user and the critic?

William:

Yeah, it would be statistically significant if it was a medical research study, so yeah.

Cody:

It's

William:

Oh.

Cody:

the herpes of rotten tomatoes.

Dallas:

Alex:

I heard

William:

Just

Dallas:

I dig

William:

because,

Alex:

the

Dallas:

it.

Alex:

words you said

Dallas:

I'm

William:

listen,

Dallas:

digging

Alex:

and I

Dallas:

it.

Alex:

don't like them

William:

listen,

Alex:

in my mouth.

William:

just

Cody:

Thank

William:

because

Cody:

you.

William:

I said medical, that is not your license to say the word

Dallas:

Ha ha

William:

herpes,

Dallas:

ha ha

William:

Cody.

Dallas:

ha ha ha

William:

We've

Cody:

William:

been over this.

Dallas:

I think that's all there are, right? The only diseases are

William:

Thank

Dallas:

herpes,

William:

you, right?

Dallas:

COVID, and

Cody:

And the

Dallas:

tuberculosis,

Cody:

typhoid,

Dallas:

I think, that's

Alex:

AIDS,

Dallas:

all.

Cody:

is it typhoid

Alex:

cancer,

Cody:

fever

Dallas:

Oh yeah,

Alex:

those

Cody:

Dallas:

AIDS.

Alex:

are the four.

William:

Heh.

Dallas:

Yeah, that's it.

Cody:

an organ trail? Is it typhoid fever?

William:

That was dysentery.

Dallas:

Dysentery

Alex:

Disentery!

Cody:

Dysentery, okay.

Alex:

Disentery, you

Cody:

Okay,

Alex:

uncultured

Cody:

dysentery.

Alex:

swine!

Dallas:

William:

Alright, interstellar advances.

Alex:

Should I gloat now or later? Or just be

Dallas:

Oh,

Alex:

ready for my

Cody:

Just

Alex:

heart to

Dallas:

Cody:

wait.

Alex:

Dallas:

think

Alex:

broken

Dallas:

you should

Alex:

in the

Dallas:

wait

Alex:

elite eight?

Dallas:

to gloat,

Cody:

Just

Dallas:

sir.

Cody:

wait.

Dallas:

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

ha.

William:

Oh man. Okay, so next up, we have Independence Day versus the Dark Knight. And this came out of a bracket that had Independence Day versus Magnificent Seven and Lincoln versus the Dark Knight.

Dallas:

I love both of these movies. Oh boy, I don't know.

Cody:

Hehehehehehe

Alex:

I'm sorry, The Dark Knight wins this

Dallas:

sucks.

Alex:

one hands down. And it's because it is the right

Cody:

Now you know

Alex:

balance

Cody:

how I feel Dallas.

Alex:

of realism. It's the right balance

William:

Hmm,

Alex:

William:

hmm,

Alex:

realism,

William:

hmm, hmm.

Alex:

right balance of comic book, right balance of villain, right balance of hope, even though it's the hero, it's the action movie we need, but it's not the one we deserve.

Cody:

Oh gosh.

William:

Oh, geez.

Cody:

Dallas:

Get

Cody:

gosh.

Dallas:

out of here. You can't

Alex:

The Joker

Dallas:

say anything

Alex:

Dallas:

about

Alex:

probably

Dallas:

right mix

Alex:

the

Dallas:

of realism.

Alex:

best.

Dallas:

You just picked that love transcends black holes. So, no. You can't.

Alex:

Heath Ledger alone deserves some more respect.

Dallas:

Don't...

Cody:

Jeff Goldblum

Dallas:

Don't

Cody:

deserves

Dallas:

you dare.

Cody:

all of the respect.

Alex:

Jeff Goldblum is in the dark night.

Dallas:

No, he's in the far superior movie, Independence Day. Does

Cody:

I'm just

Dallas:

anyone

Cody:

letting this play out.

Dallas:

in the Dark Knight fly a jet into what we would consider to be the butthole of

William:

Dallas:

an alien spaceship?

Alex:

kind of.

Dallas:

No?

Alex:

They send

Cody:

Well,

Alex:

a jet

Cody:

no, that happened

Alex:

into

Cody:

in the Dark

Alex:

Singapore.

Cody:

Knight Rises.

Dallas:

Are you saying Singapore is a butthole? Because that's what I said. Choose your

Alex:

I mean,

Dallas:

words

Alex:

you

Dallas:

carefully,

Alex:

asked,

Dallas:

sir.

Alex:

you asked, so I mean, kind of.

Dallas:

I'm

Alex:

Dallas:

sorry

Alex:

mean,

Dallas:

everyone that's listening that thought that that was offensive as

Cody:

Dallas:

Cody:

all

Dallas:

did.

Cody:

of our Singaporean listeners. We love you.

Dallas:

Except Alex, he does not. So.

Cody:

Thank you.

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

All right, but be

Dallas:

Now

Alex:

honest,

Dallas:

I love both

Alex:

like...

Dallas:

of these movies for different things.

William:

Ugh.

Dallas:

For different things. I get what you're saying. I love Dark Knight with this, my left whole leg, which

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

is a lot. That's a lot of love. But I also have a lot of childhood memories of Independence Day.

Cody:

Ha ha.

Dallas:

Way more than a doodark knight.

William:

Do you watch the Dark Knight every summer?

Dallas:

No, I don't. I do watch Independence

William:

I wasn't

Dallas:

Day.

William:

asking you, Alex.

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

watch

William:

wasn't

Dallas:

Independence

William:

asking you.

Dallas:

Day at least once a year, if not more, just on a whim.

Alex:

I can't

Dallas:

And

Alex:

Dallas:

guess

Alex:

it.

Dallas:

what? It's the best every time.

Alex:

But you said

Dallas:

Every time

Alex:

that about

Dallas:

I watch

Alex:

Jurassic

Dallas:

it, I throw away

Alex:

Park.

Dallas:

all my other.

Alex:

You said that

Dallas:

Yeah,

Alex:

about

Dallas:

but it lost.

Alex:

Lost

Dallas:

It's dead

Alex:

in Space.

Dallas:

now. It doesn't count.

Alex:

You said that about the Magic School Bus. It's the best

Dallas:

Alex:

ever.

Dallas:

never said that about the magic

Alex:

No,

Dallas:

school

Alex:

you didn't

Dallas:

bus.

Alex:

say it about the Magic School Bus. But I had to point out that every time you love something, it's the best ever. And I just want to put

Dallas:

Okay,

Alex:

it into

Dallas:

Alex:

perspective.

Dallas:

be fair,

Cody:

Listen,

Dallas:

you

Cody:

if it

Dallas:

all,

Cody:

was

Dallas:

Cody:

the Magic

Dallas:

all say that.

Cody:

School Bus versus the Dark Knight, it would be the Magic School Bus

William:

Magic

Cody:

that

Alex:

Miss

Cody:

wins.

William:

school

Alex:

Frizzle

William:

bus wins.

Dallas:

It's

Alex:

wins.

Dallas:

true.

Cody:

Yes.

Alex:

However, this isn't that movie. And

Dallas:

I would like

Alex:

Dallas:

a Christopher

Alex:

my own...

Dallas:

Nolan version of the Magic School Bus that took the same care that the

Alex:

That

Dallas:

Dark

Alex:

was

Dallas:

Knight

Alex:

tenant.

Dallas:

had.

Alex:

You missed it. There they go into now.

Dallas:

That's cool, but that's how it all happens.

Alex:

I mean, if I'm being...

Dallas:

Ugh.

Alex:

100%

Cody:

So there is

Alex:

objective.

Cody:

a school bus in the dark night.

Alex:

There he is.

Dallas:

a whole slew of them.

Alex:

They have a tank versus a man with an RPG and a circus semi truck that they've spray painted an S in front of laughter to say slaughter. I mean, come

Dallas:

say

Alex:

on.

Dallas:

slafter, that's slafter. I'm voting independent state.

Alex:

Dark Knight is just...

Dallas:

It edges it

Alex:

It's

Dallas:

out by

Alex:

the

Dallas:

hair

Alex:

Dark

Dallas:

though. Like

Alex:

Knight!

Dallas:

for me, for me, I love the dog knight.

Alex:

Why

Dallas:

Don't

Alex:

Dallas:

get me

Alex:

you

Dallas:

wrong.

Alex:

want to hurt me, Dallas? What did I do to you?

Dallas:

Hey listen, there's gotta be a yin and a yang here. There's gotta be a balance.

William:

Alex:

What did I do to hurt you? I was trying to help you last round. And

Dallas:

Last

Alex:

you hurt me

Dallas:

round.

Alex:

on Wall-E. I mean, come on, Dallas.

Dallas:

that was that was our wallet it hurt you chaos the sub-stamping in front of the

William:

Bye.

Dallas:

gun here what

Alex:

You're gonna talk bad about Elon Musk now too?

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

What about Andrew Tate?

Dallas:

What?

Alex:

No, I'm just

Dallas:

Whoa.

Alex:

kidding.

William:

It should just keep digging that hole deeper

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

there buddy.

Alex:

No, I'm just totally joking.

Cody:

You're going

Dallas:

You're

William:

Cody:

down

Dallas:

Cody:

the

Dallas:

you're

Cody:

dark road.

Dallas:

like if at the end of old Yeller If he's about to put the dog down and the other brother kept walking in front of the dog That's what you're doing right now. You're

William:

Hehehe. Hehehehehe.

Dallas:

you're just just let it happen

Cody:

I posted the bracket and I had at least two people say that the Dark Knight wins.

William:

The whole thing?

Cody:

The whole pot.

Alex:

We don't need to screw them over. It's a good movie and would be worthy of a movie commentary. I would run out of things to say. Oh no, maybe that's a good thing.

William:

You would run out of things to say?

Cody:

MBC 뉴스 김성현입니다.

Alex:

No, no, I was saying that about Independence

Dallas:

He's

Alex:

Day, and I was like, I'd run out of things to talk about, be like,

William:

I'm tempted

Cody:

Let's.

William:

to advance the...

Cody:

Listen, the- I have eggs and other baskets here, so I'm just enjoying the absolute

William:

Ha ha ha ha

Dallas:

Cody:

meltdown

William:

ha ha!

Cody:

right now. Hehehehe

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

And so you want to hurt my eggs.

Cody:

voting independent today that would be a

Dallas:

Yes.

Cody:

much more fun commentary.

Alex:

in.

Dallas:

Oh, boo.

Alex:

What is happening here?

William:

I mean, Alex, you set that precedence.

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

Like, in

Cody:

William:

picking

Cody:

ha ha

William:

for the commentary, for the ultimate goal, to do commentary with you guys,

Alex:

Interstellar

William:

I'm gonna vote.

Alex:

would make it for a great commentary. The Dark

William:

No,

Alex:

Knight

William:

I...

Alex:

would make for a great commentary. Independence Day? That's the one that you put on. That is the equivalent of when Kristen walked in and said, that's the movie you put on while doing dishes. Like you just don't pay attention to it. You turn the corner and you're like, ha ha, that's a scene I know. And then, whatever,

Dallas:

That's

William:

So,

Dallas:

a movie that

Alex:

whatever.

William:

so.

Dallas:

I wave an American flag with and I have a cigar. And I watch it like this

Alex:

No,

Dallas:

the whole

Alex:

Dallas:

time

Alex:

see where

Dallas:

and my

Alex:

it's

Dallas:

neighbors

Alex:

going.

Dallas:

are like, why did he take the TV outside? This is weird.

William:

Ha ha ha

Dallas:

And

William:

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

just

William:

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

that the whole time. It's good for the upper body.

William:

So it's something you put on while doing other things, like recording a podcast.

Dallas:

Oh.

William:

That's what I'm hearing.

Alex:

not to talk about, to ignore.

William:

Well, I mean, we did a commentary on the Sorcerer's Stone.

Dallas:

Grr.

William:

And I think

Alex:

Well,

William:

that only

Alex:

William:

worked

Alex:

got my

William:

because

Alex:

vote.

William:

we had

Alex:

It got

William:

all

Alex:

my vote.

William:

seen that so many times that we could tangent off and then we could go right back and we knew exactly where we were. We knew exactly where it was going. There was no Easter egg in the background that's blinking, you miss it, that's not going to happen. Where do you see it going, Alex? You said you see where this is going.

Alex:

just know that you're gonna screw me over here. I just know

William:

Bye.

Alex:

it's gonna happen.

William:

I'm voting

Alex:

It's

William:

Alex:

alright.

William:

dependent state!

Dallas:

William:

When it comes to commentary in all honesty,

Alex:

Nope,

William:

if you put

Alex:

nope,

William:

the two

Alex:

nope,

William:

in front

Alex:

nope,

William:

of me,

Alex:

nope.

William:

I wouldn't much rather do a commentary on Independence Day.

Dallas:

Do you still have a tomato to throw?

Alex:

Yeah.

Dallas:

Are you gonna throw it?

Alex:

No.

William:

No, I don't think he's going to.

Dallas:

Oh wow, I thought

Alex:

No,

Dallas:

Alex:

I'm

Dallas:

was

Alex:

not

Dallas:

really

Alex:

gonna.

Dallas:

going to that time.

Alex:

I don't know. I mean,

Dallas:

I honestly

Alex:

here's where I'm

Dallas:

didn't

Alex:

heartbroken.

Dallas:

think that Invited

Alex:

Here's

Dallas:

State

Alex:

Dallas:

was

Alex:

problem.

Dallas:

gonna win there.

Alex:

Here's my problem.

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

If I throw it now, then it's the dark knight as a meh who cares. And then it's going up against interstellar. And then the problem is, is if it's a meh who cares going up against interstellar, then it's another meh who cares. And then it's going to go up against the last crusade and I'm screwed one way or another. So I mean, like,

William:

Ha ha!

Dallas:

See, I would have voted Dark Knight over Interstellar, but that's just me.

Alex:

See, but that's what I'm saying, like... So if I throw

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

now,

Dallas:

it better.

Alex:

then I don't have any way to defend it when it goes up against the last crusade.

Dallas:

So you're

William:

What?

Dallas:

saving yours for the boss fight at the end, is what you're doing.

Alex:

Kinda, yeah, I wanna screw over whoever's left.

Cody:

What?

William:

Ha ha ha!

Alex:

You remember that scene in the best Star Wars movie, Episode 8, and where they talk about you don't fight to protect the things you love, you fight to kill the things you hate. Wait, do I have that backwards? I definitely have that backwards, but it's okay!

Dallas:

Alex:

It's the best Star Wars movie, Cody.

Cody:

Yeah, that whole

Alex:

Episode

Cody:

plot

Alex:

Cody:

line was completely nonsensical and didn't need

Dallas:

Alex

Cody:

to be there.

Alex:

Ah.

Dallas:

just lost all credibility. He's not allowed to vote anymore.

Cody:

Yeah.

Dallas:

So does that mean that Independence Day goes to the next round?

Cody:

Yes

Alex:

Yes.

Cody:

it does!

Dallas:

Oh boy. I'm so happy, happy,

William:

I'm

Dallas:

happy,

William:

writing

Dallas:

happy.

William:

it down.

Cody:

Alex,

Alex:

I spent

Cody:

if it's any consolation,

Alex:

so much time

Cody:

I gave

Alex:

building

Cody:

you interstellar.

Alex:

this bracket. I- it's not

Dallas:

Alex:

any consolation because you're about to screw me over.

Cody:

I'm not sure what to do.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha.

Cody:

I'm just going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video. I

Alex:

That's like saying like I gave you a reach around. Like, it was just dry. It was dry, Cody.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

Oh,

Dallas:

Alex:

it's getting

Dallas:

ha ha

Alex:

edited out. It's not even standing the Patreon cut.

Dallas:

Alex:

Just ramming it in there. No, I gave you a consolation here. Give me a high five. There you go, buddy.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

I spent so much time building this bracket out. I'm just getting screwed

Cody:

Yeah, you're

Alex:

every which

Cody:

the one who

Alex:

way

Cody:

made

Alex:

for

Cody:

the bracket

Alex:

the...

Cody:

and you're the

Alex:

I know,

Cody:

one.

Alex:

every which way in the sake of chaos, not in the sake of making the

Dallas:

You

Alex:

best

Dallas:

spent

Alex:

commentary.

Dallas:

all this time, it's like when a parent cooks like an elaborate meal

William:

Don't uh-uh

Dallas:

and they spend hours.

William:

that happened

Dallas:

And

William:

tonight.

Dallas:

they're

William:

Cody:

Dallas:

like,

William:

are

Cody:

ha ha

William:

not ripping

Dallas:

I would

William:

open

Dallas:

William:

that.

Dallas:

chicken out, get some french fries please. So sorry William.

Alex:

William, welcome to

William:

She

Alex:

William:

hadn't

Alex:

life.

William:

eaten since one o'clock. Okay, we sat down for dinner at like 7.15. And she said, I'd rather brush my teeth and go to bed. As she did. That kid is so strong-willed.

Dallas:

Ha ha

William:

Like,

Dallas:

ha ha ha

William:

I know it's gonna serve her well later in life, but it,

Alex:

Dallas,

William:

it's,

Dallas:

the the

Alex:

Dallas, how badly do you want to screw over Cody for Jurassic Park? How badly do you want to stick it to him?

Dallas:

Wow, he's really trying to rev me up here.

Alex:

How badly do you want to

William:

Hmm.

Alex:

stick it to him when it all comes down to it? Huh, Dallas?

Dallas:

Um... I've gotten over it now though.

Alex:

No, you're supposed to say yes, because then

Cody:

Dallas

Alex:

I'll throw it

Cody:

D-

Alex:

for the dark night and then when it goes up the dark night against

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

Against the last crusade then we throw

Dallas:

Oh,

Alex:

it again

Dallas:

you're trying to compile

Alex:

Yes

Dallas:

our tomatoes?

Alex:

Yes

Dallas:

See how to?

William:

Ooh, this

Alex:

Yeah

William:

is like survivor building

Dallas:

Yeah,

William:

alliances.

Dallas:

I know.

Alex:

Dallas Dallas can I count on you to throw your tomato

Dallas:

Ugh.

Alex:

against the last

William:

you can

Alex:

crusade?

William:

count on him

Dallas:

Wait,

William:

for

Dallas:

hold

William:

nothing.

Dallas:

on a second. You're gonna throw your tomato now against a movie that I voted on. Ha.

Alex:

But only

Dallas:

For

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

the

Dallas:

Alex:

sake

Dallas:

then

Alex:

Dallas:

help

Alex:

screwing

Dallas:

you later

Alex:

over Cody.

Dallas:

on.

Alex:

Well, only to screw over Cody.

Cody:

It's

Dallas:

How'd

Cody:

fine.

Dallas:

he just voted for Independence Day?

Alex:

Yeah, but

Dallas:

We're

Alex:

Dallas:

on the

Alex:

screwed

Dallas:

same alien

Alex:

you over

Dallas:

ship

Alex:

with

Dallas:

now.

Alex:

your favorite movie of all time.

Dallas:

No, that was James the Giant Peach, and everyone

William:

Ha ha ha ha

Dallas:

screwed

William:

ha ha

Dallas:

that

William:

Dallas:

one over. Ha ha.

Alex:

Why do I even try?

Dallas:

You know what? You know what is just as crazy as a giant rhinoceros running through the skies? Black holes filled with love. They make the same

Cody:

Dallas:

amount of sense. I'm just saying.

Alex:

So now you would have the Dark Knight

William:

Alex:

to go against Interstellar if I throw it, and then we could screw over Cody at the very

Dallas:

Oh I

Alex:

end.

Dallas:

know that Independence Day is going to be dinner stiller

Cody:

You

Dallas:

Cody:

all

Dallas:

why would

Cody:

know

Dallas:

I do

Cody:

Dallas:

that?

Cody:

can hear

Alex:

What?

Cody:

this right.

Alex:

Yeah, no, I know, Akodi.

William:

Ha ha

Alex:

You're

William:

Alex:

sitting right

William:

Alex:

there.

Dallas:

All right.

Alex:

No?

William:

I wrote

Alex:

You're

William:

Alex:

not

William:

down,

Alex:

gonna

Dallas:

No.

William:

but

Alex:

help me?

William:

I erased it from the bracket. So what's happening here?

Alex:

I'm gonna suffer in silence

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

apparently, cause Dallas won't help me out later on.

Dallas:

So are we

William:

I guess

Dallas:

making it official?

William:

Dallas:

Is it official?

Alex:

Apparently.

William:

well, I made it official,

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

William:

then

Dallas:

William:

I erased it.

Alex:

Am I a sore loser? Absolutely. Has Cody gotten his way every single flippin' time? Yes. Is it driving me up a wall

Cody:

Alex:

as the

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

man who has postponed this episode for a year now?

Dallas:

Alex:

Yes.

Cody:

Alex:

Yes, it's making me lose my mind.

William:

I think he's losing his mind because he crafted it. He's like, there's no way I could lose. There's no way I could lose.

Alex:

And then you're

William:

They

Dallas:

Ha ha

Alex:

like,

William:

have

Dallas:

ha ha

Alex:

anything,

William:

Dallas:

ha!

Alex:

just screw him over.

William:

objectively,

Dallas:

Ha ha.

William:

if they look at it objectively,

Dallas:

Ha!

William:

they're going to vote with me.

Dallas:

Wrong.

Alex:

Every

Dallas:

Haha.

Alex:

movie I care about. Shad on.

Dallas:

William:

Listen, Interstellar Advanced, it is in the elite.

Dallas:

All right?

Alex:

from a pity vote and a tiebreaker.

William:

Ha ha.

Dallas:

Hey, you get it how you get it.

Cody:

It was not a pity vote. I genuinely was won over by Interstellar.

William:

It is still a great movie.

Cody:

It is a great movie.

William:

Dallas:

Oh yeah,

William:

is a phenomenal movie.

Dallas:

all of these are great movies. I'm not saying

Alex:

So then

Dallas:

any

Alex:

what

Dallas:

of them

Alex:

the

Dallas:

or not.

Alex:

heck happened with Wally Williams? See, we're not, we're not, I'm not going there. I'm not going

Cody:

Alex:

there. I'm not gonna do

Dallas:

Alex:

it.

Dallas:

think he has hard feelings about it still. I don't think

Cody:

Dallas:

he's over it.

Alex:

No.

Dallas:

I could be wrong.

Alex:

It's alright.

William:

All right, so moving on.

Dallas:

Moving

William:

We've

Alex:

Moving

William:

been,

Dallas:

on.

William:

we've been

Alex:

on.

William:

moving on like for 20 minutes now. Okay, moving on. We,

Alex:

But what

William:

okay,

Alex:

William:

I don't

Alex:

I threw

William:

remember what the

Alex:

it?

William:

bracket was called. Minority report and gravity, baby

Alex:

The

William:

driver

Alex:

Tech

William:

and Star

Alex:

William:

Trek.

Alex:

Fun, the Tech is Fun conference.

William:

Tech is fun. Okay.

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

From the matchup of minority report and gravity, gravity advanced. Yes. And that's the one I threw my rotten tomato on. and nine advanced. So now our matchup is gravity versus Star Trek 2009. Everybody's just waiting. Everybody's just waiting. They're

Cody:

kind

William:

like,

Cody:

of know where Williams vote is

William:

what's William gonna say? He threw

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

his rotten tomato on this one.

Cody:

Alex:

Well,

Cody:

Alex:

here's my problem. If I give my vote, somehow, even if I voted for gravity, you all would

William:

I'll

Alex:

be like,

William:

listen.

Alex:

screw

William:

Listen.

Alex:

him, we're

Cody:

preemptively

Alex:

gonna go with Star

Cody:

Alex:

Trek.

Cody:

vote is going for Star Trek.

Alex:

Star Trek.

Cody:

That is my vote. That

Alex:

I'm

Cody:

Alex:

voting

Cody:

my vote.

Alex:

Star Trek.

William:

Well, I am going to vote gravity. I even said in the last round, because looking ahead, I knew Star Trek was gonna win over Baby Driver. Like,

Dallas:

Okay.

William:

even if gravity falls out in this round, it was 100% worth it for that little moment. That clunked in is a core memory in my brain. It was worth it. I am going to vote gravity on this one.

Dallas:

Is it up to me?

William:

It is

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

mean,

William:

Dallas:

it's

William:

you,

Dallas:

William:

Douth.

Dallas:

to me, but I'm voting

Alex:

kind

Dallas:

gravity.

Alex:

of.

William:

Ha ha! Kristen! Kristen!

Dallas:

I don't have a huge place in my heart for Star Trek though.

Cody:

Yeah.

Dallas:

So this is for it too of one over for me last time with zero Star Trek.

Cody:

Dallas:

knowledge

Cody:

means that

Dallas:

or...

Cody:

that

Dallas:

Yeah.

Cody:

movie was a new hope.

Dallas:

Yeah.

Cody:

It was a new hope in the Star Trek universe.

Dallas:

Yeah, I thought it was fantastic, but I don't have any like deep feelings towards Star Trek, but I do

William:

She's coming.

Dallas:

towards gravity

Cody:

My Star

William:

Gravity

Cody:

Trek

Dallas:

great

Cody:

fandom

William:

versus

Cody:

has

William:

Star Trek

Cody:

grown

William:

2009.

Cody:

in recent years.

Dallas:

Whoa!

Alex:

What?

William:

and

Alex:

It was

William:

I love

Alex:

William:

you and

Alex:

quick.

William:

I respect you.

Alex:

It was so quick. It was

Dallas:

was

Alex:

so just boom. That's how I feel. Star Trek 2000.

Cody:

Wow!

Alex:

What?

Dallas:

That was so fast.

Cody:

I was expecting either gravity or minority report when this thing started.

William:

Really?

Cody:

Yeah.

William:

But listen, Star Trek 2009 It was a fun movie and if

Alex:

Yeah.

William:

there was

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

yeah.

William:

criteria

Cody:

Listen,

William:

for a movie to do a commentary on

Cody:

well I walked in on it

Alex:

Gonna be honest,

Cody:

knowing

Alex:

Star Trek 2009,

Cody:

Alex's

Alex:

better than Independence Day as well. You know?

Dallas:

And Interstellar, it made more sense.

William:

Heh heh.

Cody:

I walked in on

Dallas:

Sorry,

Cody:

Dallas:

God.

Cody:

thinking that Star Trek was going to fall based on Alex's views on modern JJ Abrams

Alex:

Absolutely

Cody:

after the sequel

Alex:

no.

Cody:

trilogy.

Alex:

I love that movie.

William:

Cody:

That's it. Okay.

Alex:

Star Trek 09 moving on.

William:

So our last, and the last matchups of the part two of our round of 32, we had Jurassic Park. Well, no, we started with

Alex:

William:

Goldfinger

Alex:

had.

William:

versus

Alex:

That is,

William:

Man

Alex:

that

William:

from

Alex:

had

William:

Uncle.

Alex:

is carrying a lot of weight

Cody:

Hmm.

Alex:

as an operative word there.

William:

Man from Uncle advanced, and then we had Jurassic Park versus the last Crusade.

Cody:

I think this one's a little bit more obvious.

William:

Uh, so it was man from uncle versus Indiana Jones and the last crusade.

Alex:

This is actually harder than Cody is making it out to be because again, what is the purpose? I see some heads shaking. I see some heads. I feel like a Baptist pastor right now. I see those hands. I see

Dallas:

Alex:

them

William:

Cody:

Alex:

No, I see those heads shaking Man for a monkey is a great ride. I'm not gonna like first of all Henry

William:

Oh, it was!

Alex:

Cavill

Cody:

Oh it is!

Alex:

phenomenal

Dallas:

Oh yeah.

Cody:

Yeah.

Alex:

in this movie

William:

We are getting to the point in the back in the bracket now where we can't just automatically disqualify something

Alex:

Right, right.

Cody:

Yeah.

Dallas:

Yeah, there's

William:

Dallas:

no trash in this one besides

Alex:

If,

Cody:

I'm,

William:

Dallas:

one.

Cody:

yeah.

Alex:

if I'm being honest,

Dallas:

Interstellar.

Alex:

when I rewatch both of these movies, I had way more fun with Man For Uncle in all honesty.

William:

Okay?

Cody:

Okay.

Alex:

That being said, watch me be so duplicitous

Cody:

Movies

Alex:

and try

Cody:

with Sean

Alex:

and

Cody:

Connery are better with movies without Sean Connery.

William:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

you're

William:

ha ha

Alex:

not

William:

Alex:

entirely

William:

ha.

Alex:

wrong. But...

William:

You didn't catch his cameo in Man for

Alex:

Yeah,

William:

Monkey?

Alex:

exactly. He plays...

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

He can play anything, you know?

William:

You're right.

Alex:

He plays

Dallas:

Alex:

the

Dallas:

was

Alex:

trash

Dallas:

the man

Alex:

can!

Dallas:

from Uncle the whole time.

Cody:

William:

Yeah,

Cody:

was

William:

in high

Cody:

the

William:

school,

Cody:

uncle.

William:

I think I've said this before,

Alex:

Oh yeah,

William:

but

Alex:

that's

William:

in high

Alex:

exactly

William:

school,

Alex:

what I was referencing.

William:

we all thought that we were going on Saturday Night Live because we all thought we were hilarious. And we had to make movie posters for banned books. And so we did Fahrenheit 451. And we had Sean Connery as the burning trashcan

Alex:

William:

because

Alex:

William:

he can

Alex:

can

Dallas:

William:

play

Dallas:

ha ha

Alex:

play

William:

anything.

Dallas:

ha ha ha ha

Alex:

everything.

Dallas:

ha ha ha

Cody:

Sean Connery

William:

Is it?

Cody:

is up there with those lead of actors like Keanu Reeves, Nicholas

Alex:

A league

Cody:

Cage.

Alex:

of extraordinary gentlemen? Wait, no, wrong movie, my bad, my bad.

William:

As one might say,

Cody:

the

William:

yeah

Cody:

memeable actors in the world, like Keanu Reeves, Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery, they're the greats of memes.

William:

Speaking of SNL, SNL was memeing Sean Connery before memeing was a thing.

Cody:

pretty

Dallas:

now.

Cody:

much

Alex:

Let

William:

I am voting

Alex:

William:

last

Alex:

snow,

William:

crusade.

Alex:

Alex.

Dallas:

Eight little bum

Alex:

Dallas:

covers for 500, please.

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

Bye.

Dallas:

That's

Alex:

Ugh.

Dallas:

an album cover.

Alex:

I gotta go with the last crusade too. It's just

Cody:

I love Man

Alex:

Cody:

For Monkey.

Alex:

good.

Dallas:

Oh, absolutely.

William:

It was very good.

Cody:

I had such a good theatrical experience with Man For Monkey and I fell in love with that movie but it's last crusade y'all. It's

William:

That's

Cody:

William:

true.

Cody:

contest.

Dallas:

Yep.

William:

That's true. All right. Last Crusade is advancing against Star Trek 2009 and that completes our Suite 16. So I think we're going to go to break and when we come back, we're going to have the Elite 8.

Cody:

Oof.

Alex:

Alright

William:

Oof.

Alex:

Dallas, Dallas, you have led the brigade against me. You get to lead the brigade out in a song.

William:

Oh yes! Oh yeah!

Alex:

I think that's TAPS because he's

Dallas:

What

Alex:

playing

Dallas:

did you know?

Alex:

TAPS in honor of all of my movies dying.

Dallas:

I don't think this recorder

Alex:

We'll

Dallas:

is also broken.

Alex:

meet

William:

Bye.

Alex:

again.

Dallas:

I think it's broken on top of just being a recorder, so you're welcome.

William:

Oh my god.

Alex:

What you know?

Cody:

my boom arm is loose and I have to figure out I'm just

William:

sounds like a personal problem.

Dallas:

Yeah, William, you're an ab- doctor, could you help? Is there like a splint?

William:

was a shot for that

Dallas:

Like a, oh! Ha ha ha ha!

Alex:

They also have one of those extendy click metal pieces that you pull it out and it locks into place and then you pull it again and it locks back and

Dallas:

I knew it

Alex:

loose.

Dallas:

guys.

Alex:

Yeah.

Dallas:

in jail.

Alex:

just sounds painful if I'm being

Dallas:

Yeah,

Alex:

honest like I think

Dallas:

Alex:

I'll

Dallas:

watched

Alex:

stick

Dallas:

the

Alex:

with

Dallas:

guy

Alex:

the

Dallas:

that did his pat down and when he got to his knee he stopped and then he quit.

Cody:

Alright, this should be better.

William:

Okay.

Alex:

Boom arms with Sean Connery is better than boom arms without

Cody:

Bye.

Alex:

Sean. We just need to

William:

You're

Alex:

get a Sean

William:

correct

Dallas:

Alex:

Connery

Dallas:

William:

sir.

Dallas:

ha ha

Alex:

sticker.

Dallas:

Alex:

Put it right here on the arm. And we're

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

back with

Dallas:

Or,

William:

Yes.

Alex:

our

Dallas:

yeah. Here we go.

Alex:

Elite 8. I don't even, it's just our 8. I don't know if they're Elite guys, you know? They're

Dallas:

Oh, they're

Alex:

just,

Dallas:

elite.

Alex:

they're just alright. The

Dallas:

The

Alex:

alright

Dallas:

ones we

Alex:

Dallas:

picked over the ones that we didn't pick, these

William:

Dallas:

are elite.

Alex:

Ha ha ha ha

William:

ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh!

Cody:

It's the Moorhead versus Bellarmine versus, you know, all of these colleges you are surprised to have basketball teams.

Dallas:

William:

Ha ha ha ha!

Alex:

This is the number 15 Princeton beating number seven Missouri. Wait, that's going to age poorly. Never mind. I'll cut

Dallas:

Alex:

that one.

Dallas:

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

That just happened by the way. All of our brackets are screwed.

Dallas:

toast.

William:

including this one. Okay, so

Dallas:

Yeah, let's

William:

jumping back to the start of the bracket, we had James and the Giant Peach vs Order of the Phoenix. It was a tough call, but

Cody:

it really

William:

Order of the

Cody:

was.

William:

Phoenix advanced against the Empire Strikes Back.

Alex:

Yeah, Empire versus Clue, that one was a no-brainer. So now we have Order of the Phoenix versus the Empire Strikes Back. I'm sorry. I hate

William:

Listen,

Alex:

picking

William:

I get

Alex:

people's

William:

it.

Alex:

children.

William:

I know.

Alex:

I know.

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas:

boy.

Alex:

know.

Cody:

Alex:

It's

Cody:

the Dark

Alex:

Empire.

Cody:

Knight is Chris Nolan's Empire Strikes Back, the Empire Strikes Back is the Empire Strikes Back of movies.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

I don't

William:

I mean,

Alex:

know

William:

I guess

Alex:

how

William:

technically

Alex:

that works.

William:

that's true.

Cody:

Ha ha ha.

Dallas:

Right,

Alex:

The

Dallas:

it is

Alex:

Dark

Dallas:

patient

Alex:

Knight

Dallas:

zero.

Alex:

is the Dark Knight of the Dark Knight movies, and

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

The Empire Strikes Back is the Empire Strikes Back of Empire Strikes Back.

William:

Listen,

Dallas:

Actually,

William:

I don't

Dallas:

the Batman

William:

have...

Dallas:

Begins is the...

Alex:

beginning

Dallas:

Wait,

William:

I don't

Alex:

William:

have

Dallas:

what?

Alex:

the

William:

Alex:

Batman

William:

tomato anymore.

Alex:

beginning.

William:

I'm gonna go ahead and write it in the final four.

Cody:

Ha ha

William:

Okay,

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

William:

get

Dallas:

William:

it.

Dallas:

ha ha ha ha

Cody:

ha!

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas,

William:

Alex:

are

William:

get

Alex:

you going

William:

it.

Alex:

to empire or should we prolong it and make him suffer?

William:

No, I am going order, but I know how this is going to happen.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Cody:

I'm still mad about Lincoln, if I'm just being honest.

William:

I know you are.

Alex:

See, nobody's voting in good faith right now. Everybody's anger. I think we need a chill pill.

Cody:

Do I need to bring in Michelle here to coach us through some therapy sessions?

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

Maybe,

William:

Right?

Alex:

maybe. Yeah, everybody's just voting in bad faith right now. Nobody's voting for the movie that they actually want to watch because there's no

Dallas:

Oh,

Alex:

way

Dallas:

I've voted

Alex:

that...

Dallas:

on the ones I want to watch, will you, time?

Cody:

Oh yeah, I am too.

Alex:

You

William:

Alex:

William:

it's a purse.

Alex:

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

ha.

Dallas:

time.

Alex:

Ha ha ha.

William:

it is Empire Strikes Back versus Order of the Phoenix, I own both of them. If I'm going to sit down to watch a movie, I'm going to watch Order of the Phoenix. I am voting on the one I want to watch. I know I'm

Alex:

All

William:

not

Alex:

right.

William:

the majority here. It's fine. It's fine. What's Magic Months 2027? We'll be watching it anyway.

Alex:

William:

Alex:

William:

Dallas:

Actually,

William:

win!

Dallas:

no, we're watching Magic Mike this time. Are we

Alex:

All

Dallas:

just

Alex:

Dallas:

Cody:

One, two or

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

Alex:

prisoner

William:

I see

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas:

William:

Dallas:

Alex:

Egypt

William:

wrote

Dallas:

William:

I wrote

Alex:

William:

Alex:

of that

William:

Alex:

was the

William:

Alex:

story

William:

and

Alex:

before

William:

I read

Alex:

William:

Alex:

he's the

William:

Alex:

so William you're only William you're only half wrong the prisoner of Egypt was the guy with the multi-colored coat and

William:

Thank

Alex:

William:

you.

Alex:

has a happy ending

Dallas:

No.

Cody:

Thank you.

Alex:

so you're kind of

William:

The

Alex:

right

William:

Prince of Egypt versus Wally, Prince of Egypt, narrowly edged out Wally

Alex:

Wow.

William:

to go up against 12 angry men. And I'm, I, this is, wow.

Alex:

Dallas, lead it off. You're wiggling your nose there.

Dallas:

I'm going 12 Angry Men.

Alex:

Yes.

William:

Okay.

Dallas:

Because

Cody:

of Egypt.

Dallas:

I love that movie and I don't have... I love Prince of Egypt too, but I do not have the same deep feelings towards it.

Alex:

Yep.

Dallas:

I don't show that to my class every year.

Alex:

I'm

Cody:

you're

Alex:

with

Cody:

constitutionally

Alex:

Dallas

Cody:

not

Alex:

Cody:

allowed

Alex:

this one.

Cody:

to.

Dallas:

that's true

Alex:

Wait, but Kody, you said that all of the world's religions like Prince of Egypt, well, this Christian right here, in last name and spirit,

Dallas:

Whoa!

Cody:

Ha!

Alex:

is gonna go with 12 Angry Men. I think it has much more to offer the world than a feel-good sing-along.

Cody:

Oh, oh,

Dallas:

Uh-oh.

Cody:

you're calling

William:

than a

Cody:

Prince...

Alex:

Sorry.

William:

few good sing-along.

Cody:

All of the firstborns die.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha

William:

How part

Alex:

Yeah,

William:

of that

Alex:

I'm sorry.

William:

movie made you feel good?

Alex:

See, I will always go for non-musical over musical.

William:

Oh, buddy.

Alex:

10 times out of 10.

Cody:

Oh, buddy.

William:

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Dallas:

And now I don't do that, but 12 Angry

Alex:

Sorry.

Dallas:

Men does resonate with me more.

Alex:

So the

Dallas:

Alex:

angry

Dallas:

so.

Alex:

man gets my vote.

William:

I've got to go Prince of Egypt. To be honest,

Alex:

Ah.

William:

I watched 12 Angermen for the first time for this bracket.

Alex:

All right,

William:

Yes, it

Alex:

I'm

William:

was

Alex:

going

William:

good.

Alex:

to call Josh Solomon.

Dallas:

okay now William now take your glasses on Now which movie do you pick now?

Alex:

Ha ha ha

William:

Cody:

lit

William:

and I played that game today

Cody:

listen guys

William:

where

Alex:

William:

she

Alex:

I calling

William:

had

Alex:

Josh or no?

William:

I don't know who that is, so go

Alex:

Josh?

William:

ahead.

Dallas:

Right, yeah.

Alex:

Josh Solomon. We say this every time. He's the one writing our music for the explainer things.

Dallas:

Oh,

Alex:

We talk

William:

Oh,

Alex:

about

Cody:

He- kid-

William:

Alex:

this

Dallas:

I've

William:

just,

Dallas:

never

Alex:

all the

Dallas:

heard

Alex:

time.

Dallas:

his name said out loud.

Cody:

kid-

William:

it's

Cody:

considering-

William:

just music, been music guy in my brain. Okay.

Cody:

considering

Alex:

Dallas:

Yeah.

Cody:

that

Alex:

man.

Cody:

he uh... his last name i think it'll be a little biased

William:

Ha ha.

Alex:

What?

Dallas:

Ooh,

Cody:

Solomon.

Dallas:

Solomon.

William:

If you read your Bible, everyone,

Dallas:

Oh, yeah.

William:

so I'll at least you.

Alex:

Oh yeah, he doesn't read his Bible, so he's good. He's

Dallas:

No, haha.

Alex:

pretty unbiased. All right, unless you'd rather me call somebody else, but Omar's brown, and that feels like cheating.

Cody:

What? What?

Alex:

Oh, you guys don't

Dallas:

Alex:

know Omar have this kind of relationship. I'm gonna have so much editing to do

Dallas:

Alex:

here.

Dallas:

ha.

Alex:

Omar, he loves inappropriate memes.

Cody:

Listen,

Dallas:

Ha ha

Alex:

I'm

Dallas:

Alex:

almost

Dallas:

ha ha

Alex:

gonna have to send

Cody:

Prince

Alex:

him just

Cody:

Alex:

this

Cody:

Egypt

Alex:

clip.

Cody:

is the greatest animated film of all time.

Alex:

that is not even close to true. Wally should have beaten Prince of Egypt.

Cody:

but I'm going to change my vote to 12 Angry Men.

William:

Whoa!

Alex:

What?

Dallas:

Whoa, whoa!

Alex:

What? So we don't

Dallas:

Is it because

Alex:

have a

Dallas:

the voice

Alex:

fourth

Dallas:

of Piglet's

Alex:

tie?

Dallas:

in there?

Alex:

What?

Cody:

We've, I broke

Alex:

Oh, that's

Cody:

the tie.

Alex:

true. Wow!

William:

Okay. See if I toss you a bone again, Cody Murphy.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha!

William:

No, that was actually my vote. But I mean, I'm willing to accept the results.

Alex:

No, you're

William:

Mainly

Alex:

William

William:

because there's nothing

Alex:

William:

I can

Alex:

William:

do about

Alex:

the

William:

Alex:

results.

William:

anymore.

Cody:

Dallas:

William, Cody just built a little basket and he put his baby in it and he sent

Alex:

A TISCUT.

Dallas:

it down the river.

Alex:

A TASCUT.

William:

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

Cody:

Traditional animated,

William:

Man.

Cody:

so for me an animation, it's stop motion traditional animation CGI. And Prince of Egypt transcends in story and that's why I call it the greatest animated film of all time. But 12 Angry Men, they do so much with less.

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

I got you.

William:

There are

Cody:

and

William:

very few films that I would call near perfect movies.

Cody:

I think

William:

And

Cody:

they're

William:

that,

Cody:

both near perfect. Like.

William:

and like 12 Anger Men, I'd never seen it before. And for me to see it once and for it to rise to that level, that sounds conceited, for me to see it once.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha

William:

And

Dallas:

ha!

William:

for it to rise to that level, but no, it's the fact. That's a concept that tickles a special part of my brain all the time, doing a lot with a little, and they did.

Cody:

as a lawyer and

William:

So, yeah.

Cody:

what it means for juries and that whole process.

William:

Hey. Listen, I respect it.

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

I respect it.

Dallas:

It's

Alex:

Wow.

Dallas:

the only movie I could like it's a an old movie and I can show it to my brand new students and it holds them and it hooks them in a way that for me makes it timeless. That I can't do that with very few movies can I do that with but I can't with that.

William:

Okay. All right, well, we're moving

Cody:

William:

to the other side of the bracket

Dallas:

That

William:

now.

Dallas:

was so... wow.

William:

Working our way through the Elite 8.

Dallas:

Oh, here we go. Here we go.

William:

Thank you.

Dallas:

The greatest movie of all time against garbage, D-tier,

William:

Dallas:

Doctor Who Wanna Be.

William:

Alex:

Why

Cody:

No,

Alex:

do you

Cody:

Cody:

TANIT.

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

one of them. I'm

Cody:

Alex:

one of them. I'm sitting right here. We don't have to talk about other people. Am I the only voice of reason on this podcast?

William:

No, I listen, I'm, it's just, let's just turn the pot now. None of my darlings have made it. They're all out. What do you expect? I mean honestly. Okay, so looking at it objectively, cause that's what we do, interstellar versus independence

Dallas:

Speak

William:

day.

Dallas:

for yourself.

Alex:

I would like to point out that we have, this is the in conference right now, it's in versus in, enter, indy, you

Dallas:

Okay

Cody:

Alex:

Cody:

Yeah.

Alex:

silences.

Dallas:

This silence was so heavy though, it's gonna stay in there.

William:

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Alex:

Seriously? Alright. I'm gonna

Cody:

I'm

Alex:

say

Cody:

giving

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

It's interstellar. It is... It is just such a touching, wholesome

Dallas:

I want you

Alex:

movie.

Dallas:

Alex:

It is amazing.

William:

It is. Yes. It's the performances,

Alex:

I can't watch.

Dallas:

Ha ha!

Alex:

cinematography they brought in Kip Thorne to actually plot out what a black hole would look like before we even had seen a black hole and then the math that he did to compute what a black hole would look like for Interstellar matched up almost perfectly to the first black hole we ever

Cody:

I was

Alex:

got a

Cody:

told

Alex:

photo

Cody:

there would

Alex:

of.

Cody:

be no math.

William:

Alex:

There

William:

ha ha!

Alex:

Dallas:

Yeah,

Alex:

Dallas:

first

Alex:

math.

Dallas:

off, math.

Alex:

We didn't see the

Dallas:

Strike

Alex:

math.

Dallas:

one. Did he also

Alex:

Ugh.

Dallas:

do the math for how long, how far love can reach outside of a black hole?

Cody:

Listen.

Dallas:

Or did they get a different guy for that?

Cody:

Listen, I initially was going to say Magnificent 7 in the first round against Independence Day, but I have to give it to Interstellar at this

Dallas:

You

Cody:

point.

Dallas:

don't have to, William, or Cody.

William:

Really?

Dallas:

You don't have to.

Alex:

Yeah.

Cody:

I've also broken Alex enough that I need to make sure he knows we're

William:

Cody:

still friends.

Alex:

Ha ha ha!

Cody:

Ha ha

Dallas:

Friendship means nothing.

William:

Ha ha ha.

Dallas:

This

Cody:

Thank

Alex:

Thank

Dallas:

is about

Alex:

you,

Dallas:

movies.

Alex:

Cody.

Cody:

you.

Alex:

Thank you. That's the only personality I have, Dallas.

Dallas:

Cody, if Alex got sucked into a black hole, he would not move your books. That's all I gotta say about that. He would not.

Alex:

Excuse you, I would in fact, I would have been the one that gave him the fancy mechanical watch and he'd be like, oh, it doesn't work. It started working. It's Alex talking to me from beyond the fifth dimension. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been me with

William:

Alex:

the

William:

just,

Alex:

watch.

William:

I just couldn't help. I had a science teacher in the eighth grade who, he was rotund. I like using that word because you add an A at the end, rotunda, that sounds

Dallas:

William:

fancy.

Cody:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

Well, that's a thing

William:

Alex:

too.

William:

he would grade his papers, he would grade his papers on top of his stomach. But

Cody:

He was also

William:

he,

Cody:

the gym teacher, which was just

William:

when we

Cody:

really...

William:

talked,

Dallas:

William:

welcome to Grant County. No, but when we talked about science and when he talked about space, any teacher, honestly to this date, has ever just like sucked me into the content. He was

Alex:

Set

William:

talking

Alex:

you

William:

about

Alex:

William:

space

Alex:

like a

William:

and

Alex:

black hole?

William:

he was talking about black holes. But here's the thing about the black holes. He said that the force pulling on your feet is a thousand times greater than the force pulling on your head.

Alex:

Yeah.

William:

So there is no surviving a black hole. It would rip you into a solid string of atoms and you'd be dead.

Dallas:

Ahem. Hmm.

Alex:

Yeah,

William:

It's

Alex:

and

William:

Alex:

if you flew

Cody:

William,

Alex:

into

Cody:

we're

Alex:

the

Cody:

Doctor

Alex:

butthole

Cody:

Who fans.

Alex:

of an alien.

William:

No, no, no, don't you bring Dr. Who into this. Dr.

Dallas:

William:

Who

Dallas:

William:

is sacred text

Cody:

William:

Alex:

Wait,

William:

this

Alex:

wait,

William:

house.

Alex:

wait.

Cody:

Alex:

Cody:

ha.

Alex:

you

Cody:

Season's

Alex:

think

Cody:

what

Alex:

that

Cody:

their

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

could

Cody:

is.

Alex:

use? Do you think we could use a floppy disk inside an alien space station? Because

Cody:

Floppies

Alex:

I don't.

Cody:

are eternal. Floppies

Dallas:

Yeah.

Cody:

died to become the icon of saving. They're like

Dallas:

Lobby

Cody:

Jesus.

Dallas:

discs are still what makes the rat

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

from Chuck E. Cheese still dancing sing.

William:

You're right.

Alex:

I don't think that's the selling point you think it is.

Dallas:

Alex:

May I appeal to your fatherly emotion?

Dallas:

No.

Alex:

May I?

Dallas:

Hahaha.

Cody:

See,

Alex:

This

Cody:

I'm surprised.

Alex:

is the...

Cody:

I am surprised the two dads are going up against

Alex:

Look,

Cody:

Interstellar.

Alex:

I...

William:

Like said it himself, this is all for the commentary. What movie do we want to comment on?

Alex:

It is, and I would way rather talk about Interstellar. Like, way rather.

Dallas:

But I

William:

Let's

Dallas:

would

William:

see.

Dallas:

way rather you not.

Cody:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

Cody:

ha!

Alex:

ha ha!

William:

I am gonna vote with... My heart. And I'm going to vote Independence Day.

Dallas:

Yes! I'm voting independent state too.

Alex:

So we're tied. Who is an impartial third party that we can call? Josh, Omar. Who do you guys want? We've

William:

Alex:

used

William:

Alex:

all the wives.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha

Alex:

All

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

the wives have been used, so...

Cody:

What if I call Krons?

Alex:

I guess it's early enough for him

William:

listen don't don't pick it based on how you think he's going to vote

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

No, no, no, I was talking about people who it's early enough. It is a Saturday, so I mean. Now, here's why I recommended Josh. He's a big movie nerd like us, but he's also, he loves camp and he loves, like he likes both. So I will defer to Cody. I've already used a tiebreaker and,

Cody:

I'm going to reach out to our shared group chat to everybody and see who wants to come on and break a tie

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

phone?

Cody:

our

Alex:

Yeah.

Cody:

share.

Alex:

in this interim. I absolutely believe that it would be more fun to talk about

Cody:

Ha ha.

Alex:

interstellar.

Dallas:

I'm good either way. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

I know you are.

William:

I mean, because

Alex:

I'm a

William:

interstellar

Alex:

heartbroken

William:

Alex:

that

William:

like,

Alex:

you won't fight

Dallas:

Alex:

with me here.

William:

But interstellar is like, let's talk about this heavy moment. Let's

Alex:

It's

William:

talk

Alex:

not.

William:

about this heavy moment.

Alex:

What?

William:

Let's talk about this heavy moment.

Alex:

What?

William:

Like, oh, the world's dying. This is humanity's last hope.

Alex:

Yeah,

William:

Oh,

Alex:

but

William:

he leaves. Oh, he gets caught in

Alex:

Okay.

William:

some sort of time dilation. He's lost all of this time with his children. Oh, he goes into the fifth dimension and he's unable to make his child stay. Oh, he finally meets up with his child and she's on her deathbed.

Alex:

but he winds

Cody:

I'll do it

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

proving.

Cody:

text. I'll do it by text.

Alex:

It has to be by voice.

William:

Independence Day, it's like,

Alex:

You've already used a faceless one.

William:

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Alex:

But when you rewatch it, when you rewatch Independence Day, it does not hold up. It is, I'm sorry, like, and this is me

Dallas:

you

Alex:

outside.

Dallas:

shut

Alex:

This

Dallas:

that

Alex:

will be,

Dallas:

mouth.

Cody:

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Alex:

hold on,

Dallas:

Hahaha.

Alex:

hold on. This will be edited out, I promise. This isn't even going in the Patreon cut. It doesn't hold up as well. Like, it's in that era of like 90s movies where everything was bombastic, blockbuster, but it's... Oh, hold it up to the... You gotta hold the speaker to the... that's not close enough you're gonna have to hold the actual speaker bar facing the the Almost.

William:

speaker of your

Alex:

Where

William:

iPad.

Alex:

is the speaker on the iPad, Cody?

William:

It's on the edges,

Cody:

on.

William:

at the bottom,

Alex:

Where's your

William:

around

Alex:

phone?

William:

the charging port.

Alex:

by the charging port.

William:

Yes, it's by the charging port.

Dallas:

He's pulling

Cody:

I'm taking

Dallas:

the

Cody:

it out of

Dallas:

case

Cody:

the case.

Dallas:

off of it.

Alex:

and then hold it up to the mic, like at the mic.

William:

and then turn your volume up.

Alex:

still gonna have to face the mic, like coming from your mouth. No, not like that.

William:

It's the little grill

Alex:

The grill, where are

William:

around

Cody:

Yeah,

Alex:

the-

William:

the charging

Cody:

it's-

William:

part.

Cody:

it's the-

Alex:

No, it

William:

Oh, wow.

Alex:

has to face into the front where you talk. This is

William:

Alex:

the only part of the...

William:

put it

Cody:

Okay

William:

on the film.

Cody:

Try.

William:

Before you try another one, can I run to the restroom?

Alex:

Yes.

William:

Please,

Alex:

Wait, Cody,

William:

please.

Alex:

hold on, hold on.

Cody:

Okay.

William:

Wait, I can't.

Alex:

Oh,

Dallas:

Alex:

okay.

Dallas:

pee pee.

Cody:

Go,

William:

Okay,

Cody:

go,

William:

ooh.

Cody:

Alex:

Whoop. Yeah, you gotta hold the actual speaker at the place where you're talking in, in this. No,

Cody:

I'm...

Alex:

no, like,

Cody:

it's here.

Alex:

well, hold it like you're holding the phone so the speaker goes out forward. If you hold it down, the speaker's going down.

Cody:

Okay.

Alex:

So hold it so that the speaker goes at the front of the mic. Even if you're not able to see his face.

Cody:

Let's try.

Alex:

I bet Josh would answer right now.

Cody:

I'm gonna try Patrick.

Alex:

Ooh, alright, we talk about Patrick a lot. It would be good for him to be on here. I'm gonna take a quick break. Apparently my credit score went up 80.80.

Dallas:

Whoa.

Alex:

I have no

Dallas:

What

Alex:

idea

Dallas:

happened?

Alex:

what I've done. I don't know. I can't remember what my password is

Dallas:

Ha ha

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

credit

Dallas:

ha!

Alex:

karma.

Cody:

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.

Alex:

Patrick didn't answer?

Cody:

Nope.

Alex:

Wait, why are you calling Williams not here?

Cody:

Well, I'd get him on the line, at least find somebody. Let's do Omar.

Alex:

Well we haven't done Josh yet. We've done Omar, we've done all the wives.

Dallas:

Let's do that one.

Cody:

I can call other Dallas.

Dallas:

There's another one.

Alex:

No. Josh is a movie nerd and he's got a good personality for it. Alright, here we go. Let's see if this works. I'm catching them out of the blue.

Dallas:

Oh.

William:

Best.

Alex:

Hold on, wait, let me see here. Could be. Hold on, is it because I'm on Wi-Fi calling? Maybe that's why.

William:

So Kristen is awake and in the other room and willing to, I didn't tell her what it was.

Alex:

Reviews

William:

She's willing to

Alex:

all

William:

vote

Alex:

the wives.

William:

if we can't get somebody. Yeah.

Alex:

Hmm, hold on, let's try. I'm gonna call,

William:

And...

Alex:

hold on, I have an eye, oh no, he wouldn't have seen those movies. Oh, I have an idea. No. My dad wouldn't have seen me either of these either.

William:

Do you want me to see if I can call Tyler?

Alex:

Well, I was

Cody:

Tyler

Alex:

thinking somebody

Cody:

Alex:

had

Cody:

Alex:

a...

William:

Break it once and for all, whether

Dallas:

William:

or not you two

Cody:

Thank you.

William:

are the same individual.

Alex:

I don't know that's kind of like I have Omar right here. You want me to call him? Cody did a little nod.

William:

As long as you tell him what you're voting for first because he's going to vote against you.

Alex:

All right, let's see what he does.

William:

Okay.

Alex:

It's gonna be so funny. He's like Your call has been forwarded. No No one oh on the phone call you in a bit How

Dallas:

Cody:

So say we move on and then we edit this back in.

Alex:

No, we can... Well...

William:

Cody's gotta go to bed soon.

Alex:

Uh, fine, call Tyler.

William:

Okay.

Alex:

you won't be able to hear that I'm not the same person.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

They're going to be like, you added this together. It's the same person. I could call my coworker and that'd be hilarious. Be like Randy, what do you like better? Call in Tyler?

William:

Well, I'm asking if he's up.

Alex:

Oh.

William:

He gets in bed pretty early.

Cody:

Alex:

Alex:

I know, I'll call my old co-worker, Armand. Well, no, he's got a baby. may not be awake.

William:

just saying, Kristen's in the other room, and as you have seen, our movie tastes do not

Dallas:

Well...

William:

completely align.

Alex:

Yeah, but we've all, I was just for the sake of like, mixing it

William:

Yeah,

Alex:

up.

William:

I know. But nobody's answering our calls. What does that say about us?

Alex:

a lot, unfortunately.

Cody:

My other Dallas is up. You want me to call him?

Alex:

I Who is this other Dallas?

Cody:

You met him at the bachelor party. who went to the Bengals game.

Alex:

Cody:

Other Dallas.

Alex:

Bengals fans, that's,

Dallas:

Alex:

Cody:

Oh, there we go.

Alex:

Omar! What it do? Well, I can't say

Cody:

Closer

Alex:

right now. I mean, that would be wildly inappropriate.

William:

Ja.

Alex:

All right, we need a tiebreaker again. Yeah, that's

Dallas:

Yes!

Alex:

what I'm afraid of. And in fact,

William:

Ha ha ha ha

Alex:

the

William:

Alex:

condition

William:

ha ha

Cody:

But

Alex:

for bringing you back on was that I tell you what my choice was. OK? So we are doing interstellar. versus Independence

Dallas:

Ha ha.

Alex:

Day. This is our elite eight right now.

William:

You better tell him.

Alex:

And

William:

It's which

Alex:

William:

one do we want to do a commentary on?

Alex:

Cody:

with

Alex:

teeth.

Cody:

Alex?

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

disagree on you with.

Cody:

Alex:

That's

Cody:

Alex:

what

William:

Cody:

Alex:

I'm

William:

Alex:

talking

William:

Well, you wanted the dark night. Oh, of course I voted the dark night Yeah movies make sense Marvel maybe it's hit or miss but you know that's that's the beauty of it It's personal preference, but yeah, I was asked. Thank you for Thank you for letting me be the type record. Oh anytime Even and in fact Cody was the one who said call Omar again. I was like really we've had him on already and they didn't answer which William then made a comment he's like what does that say about us that

William:

Alex:

no one wants to answer our

Dallas:

Alex:

calls

Cody:

other

Alex:

Cody:

Dallas voted interstellar to.

Alex:

And we just got confirmation sorry you're not I don't have a way to plug you into the audio We just got confirmation that the other person that Cody reached out to also voted interstellar so it has been a Smackdown in favor of interstellars.

Cody:

Well, that's not an official vote.

Alex:

Oh official

Dallas:

And he's

Alex:

William:

That felt ugh that tasted bad to say ugh to be fair Cody

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Crossing it off. Oh

Cody:

Sorry, Douse.

Alex:

Wow.

Dallas:

So sorry childhood we're throwing you in the trash

William:

Dallas, let the record show.

Alex:

Oh man.

Dallas:

I know,

William:

Let

Dallas:

William:

the

Dallas:

see where

William:

record

Dallas:

people are.

William:

show.

Cody:

All right, next up.

William:

Okay, moving on, we have Star Trek 2009 versus The Last Crusade. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

Alex:

You guys are gonna hate me for this.

William:

this?

Alex:

Yeah. Star Trek.

Dallas:

Yeah, you should

Cody:

Dallas:

have

Cody:

have

Dallas:

said

Alex:

Star

Dallas:

that

Cody:

an item,

Alex:

Trek.

Dallas:

Alex:

Cody:

Dallas:

hour

Alex:

Cody:

have an itemized

Dallas:

ago.

Alex:

ha.

Cody:

list of 30 years of disagreements with you. Like.

William:

Ha ha

Dallas:

Alex:

Well, Star Trek 09 gets my vote on this one for sure.

Cody:

Alex:

It's just... It is such a fun movie.

Cody:

Okay, on the

Alex:

Cody:

fun

Alex:

is so

Cody:

factor,

Alex:

fun, comparatively.

Cody:

both are extremely fun. Both are great,

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

but it's Indiana Jones. Without Indiana Jones and Star Wars, there would be Star Trek, there would not be Star Trek 09. Because that's the influence of George Lucas. Without George Lucas, there would be no Star Trek. It would have been a three season show

Alex:

No.

Cody:

in the 1960s.

Alex:

No, no, Indiana Jones. I get that. I get that. But Indiana Jones and George Lucas are not like the last crusade isn't even the end, like the end all be all of Indiana Jones. I like the first movie the best. I like Raiders over the last crusade.

Cody:

They are both perfect movies.

Alex:

I, Star Trek

Cody:

They are

Alex:

Cody:

both

Alex:

gets

Cody:

perfect

Alex:

Cody:

movies,

Alex:

vote.

Cody:

but one has Sean Connery and that's why it wins in my book. Ha ha ha ha.

Dallas:

Cody:

William:

I don't

Alex:

now.

William:

know why we're surprised he has laid it down. He has laid the foundation from the beginning movies with Sean Connery

Cody:

I love,

William:

are better

Cody:

I love Pines Kirk, I love Quinto Spock, I love the Geekino score, but

Alex:

Exactly!

Cody:

it's John freaking William,

Alex:

Exactly!

Cody:

Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas in the prime of their powers. You can't beat it. In the prime of their powers.

Alex:

You can! It's called Star Trek

Cody:

Star Trek

Alex:

09!

Cody:

09 is a loving homage to Spielberg and George Lucas, but you can't beat the real thing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Alex:

I don't

Dallas:

That's

Alex:

know

Dallas:

Alex:

about

Dallas:

good

Alex:

that

Dallas:

line.

Alex:

dude.

William:

Ooh, that gave me chills.

Cody:

JJ Abrams is...

Alex:

I don't know.

William:

I honestly, like I knew this, I knew this was coming. I was horrendously undecided because like Alex, as you said, they are both very, very fun movies.

Alex:

Yeah. And which one would I rather watch? Ten times out of ten. I'm taking Star Trek 09. Like, it's not even a contest at this point. If

William:

Yeah,

Alex:

it was,

William:

for

Alex:

William:

you.

Alex:

it was, no, in fairness to Cody, oh wow,

Cody:

Alex:

yeah, you're right, that is weird to say. No, I did that intentionally. In fairness to Cody, if this was Raiders versus Star Trek 09, oh, we would be in a different, different conversation.

William:

No, I'm with Cody here. I think Last Crusade is better than Raiders.

Alex:

Man, okay, I guess we...

Cody:

William:

I'm voting Blood here. I'm voting Last Crusade.

Alex:

why

Cody:

Ha ha!

Dallas:

I'm voting last crusade.

Alex:

Well, too

William:

Oh!

Alex:

bad guys. Guess who has the only rotten tomato left?

Cody:

What?

Alex:

I'm throwing it. I'm throwing my rotten tomato for Star Trek 09.

Cody:

D-Dallas and William?

William:

Ooh, okay,

Dallas:

Man,

William:

um...

Dallas:

if this goes a different way, this is gonna change everything about.

Alex:

I have so many, I am so afraid right now. I feel

Dallas:

He's

Alex:

like.

William:

Okay.

Dallas:

only doing this because if he cannot crusade out, Interstellar goes up against Star Trek.

Cody:

Oh,

Dallas:

Ugh.

Cody:

I-

William:

Okay,

Alex:

Here's the fact,

William:

Dallas.

Alex:

I have no idea. Star Trek 09 is one of

William:

I'll

Alex:

the most

William:

do it.

Alex:

divisive, like people are like, J.J. Abrams sucks, you know? Like, but Star Trek 09, everyone loves, I feel like, right? But also,

Dallas:

They don't. Nobody

Alex:

that's

Dallas:

talks

Alex:

what

Cody:

Oh,

Alex:

I'm

Dallas:

about

Alex:

saying,

Dallas:

Star Trek

Cody:

oh,

Alex:

I don't

Dallas:

Oda.

Cody:

Trekkies

Alex:

know.

Cody:

hate the Kelvin

Alex:

Everybody

Cody:

trilogy.

Alex:

talks about Star Trek 09.

Cody:

Trekkies hate the Kelvin.

Alex:

I'm throwing it. I'm throwing it.

William:

I'm gonna look

Dallas:

Alright?

William:

it up because we know what the average is for last crusade

Alex:

William:

because

Alex:

heart

William:

the

Alex:

is...

William:

tomato was already thrown.

Cody:

91%.

Alex:

My heart's

Dallas:

What was

Alex:

in my

Dallas:

it?

Alex:

chest. It's 91%

William:

It was

Alex:

if you

Dallas:

William:

the

Dallas:

yeah,

Alex:

recall.

William:

average

Dallas:

91.

William:

of 91%.

Alex:

And I am hoping that somehow the critics are just coming into my aid here because I don't trust the audience score. Am I gonna have to rock, paper, scissors Cody for this one? Cause I'm gonna lose that too. Oh my gosh. William?

William:

Indiana Jones and the last crusade as we've established before from the last rotten tomato throne has an average

Alex:

What is it, William?

William:

of 91% Star Trek 2009

Alex:

What is it, William?

William:

has an average of 92.5

Dallas:

Whoa!

Alex:

Shut up shut

William:

percent

Alex:

up Yes Star Dragon

Dallas:

never been disappointed more in my whole life.

William:

Even with Jurassic Park?

Alex:

Oh my gosh, no way!

Cody:

That's the last time I vote with you, Alex.

William:

Man.

Cody:

Hahaha.

Alex:

Oh my goodness.

Dallas:

Ripped

William:

Star

Dallas:

away.

William:

Trek

Cody:

Oh, you...

Dallas:

Ripped away.

William:

Cody:

like no one is going to win the prize.

Alex:

Now that

William:

Ha!

Alex:

is what

Cody:

Alex:

the rotten

Cody:

one is

Alex:

tomato

Cody:

going to win the prize.

Alex:

is for!

William:

Okay, all right, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Cody:

Thank you.

William:

This is a good time for a break.

Alex:

Ah.

Dallas:

I preemptively marked out Star Trek, because I assumed

William:

Ha ha

Dallas:

the

William:

ha!

Dallas:

way that was going.

Alex:

Wow

William:

Alright, Jan's next round's on me because I think honestly we're gonna need it because when we come back we're

Cody:

William:

going

Cody:

William:

Cody, can we still be friends?

Dallas:

I Did not know I thought people did not like that movie and

Alex:

I thought,

Dallas:

I've never heard

Cody:

There is

Dallas:

Cody:

Dallas:

didn't know

Cody:

large

Dallas:

people even

Cody:

contingent

Dallas:

talked

Alex:

William,

Dallas:

about it

Cody:

Dallas:

anymore

Cody:

the

Alex:

what

Cody:

Trek

Alex:

was the breakdown on the

Cody:

purists

Alex:

two?

Cody:

that hate the JJ trilogy.

Alex:

Hold on, I gotta look it up now. I gotta see what the breakdown

William:

It's

Alex:

is.

William:

94 critics, 91 audience.

Dallas:

This

Alex:

Wait.

Cody:

No.

Dallas:

is how you know rotten tomatoes cannot be

William:

Dallas:

trusted.

William:

Star Trek.

Alex:

Wow. Wow.

William:

Yeah, I know I remembered that one being universally loved and then into darkness was like

Alex:

Yeah.

Cody:

Yeah.

William:

We hate you now

Alex:

See, that's

William:

and

Alex:

what

William:

then

Alex:

I thought,

Cody:

JJ...

Alex:

but I knew that

Cody:

Alex:

the Trekkies were

Cody:

does

Alex:

angry.

Cody:

a great job at starting things. He just can't continue it or finish

Alex:

Well.

Cody:

it.

William:

You're correct, sir.

Alex:

That's why Ryan Johnson should have had the full trilogy.

Cody:

mean.

William:

I would

Cody:

I...

William:

have liked to watch Ryan Johnson's trilogy.

Alex:

Oh, Colin Trevoro's 9

Cody:

I listen

Alex:

would

Cody:

Alex:

have

Cody:

the

Alex:

been

Cody:

audio

Alex:

phenomenal.

Cody:

script that they did of Duel of the Fates, which by the way, great name. It's better than Rise of Skywalker by far,

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

but it doesn't address the outstanding issues that I have with The Last Jedi. It just committed to them. It just committed to them.

Alex:

was

Cody:

No,

Alex:

Ray

Cody:

Rey was still...

Alex:

Appalpatein in that

Cody:

Yeah.

Alex:

one too. Perfect, perfect movie. Couldn't

William:

Yeah!

Alex:

have been better.

Dallas:

Cody:

grabs

Alex:

Rey, Rey

Cody:

there's

Alex:

Skywalker,

Cody:

a moment where race

Alex:

no you're not,

Cody:

right

Alex:

no you're

Cody:

Luke

Alex:

not.

Cody:

ghost Luke grabs Kylo's blade and shoves it back into the hilt hilt we could we could

Alex:

What?

Cody:

have had that

Alex:

We could have had

Cody:

Ha ha

Alex:

that!

Cody:

ha!

Alex:

And instead we got... Whatever 9 was.

Cody:

Like.

Alex:

Ugh.

William:

Pravesty.

Alex:

No, it's Trevor Rowe. That's

William:

Alex:

how the

Dallas:

Alex:

pronounced.

Dallas:

Cody:

There's still issues I have with

William:

Cody:

William:

you pronounced

Cody:

but

William:

it, Trevor, it would have been

Cody:

with

William:

better.

Cody:

it, and with 8. But it would have committed better in a more coherent story. and

Alex:

Wow.

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

Okay,

William:

And

Dallas:

William:

you're

Dallas:

doesn't

William:

Dallas:

matter

William:

Georgetown

Dallas:

where my fingers go, it just plays different notes regardless.

Alex:

Ha ha.

William:

I'm going to need to get a vinyl printed yesterday of

Dallas:

William:

all of Dallas's recorders solos.

Alex:

You've heard

William:

Oh.

Alex:

of Kenny G. Get ready for...

Dallas:

Yeah.

Cody:

Empire. Just...

Alex:

Dallas Kenny.

Cody:

it's not even close.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha

William:

Alright

Dallas:

ha ha ha

William:

guys,

Dallas:

Alex:

McKinney.

William:

we are so close. Empire Strikes Back versus 12 Angry Men.

Alex:

Wow.

William:

Listen,

Alex:

It's closer

William:

I didn't

Alex:

than

William:

expect

Alex:

you think.

William:

12 angry men to advance this far, so me thinking me, there's anything even close. Like I've learned to just sit on my opinions for a little

Cody:

It's

William:

bit and

Cody:

Empire.

William:

just

Alex:

Again,

William:

let the stew simmer.

Alex:

if we're going for

Cody:

and that's

Alex:

the

Cody:

why it makes

Alex:

spirit

Cody:

it a great commentary

Alex:

of the best

Cody:

because you can listen to the conversation

Alex:

commentary,

Cody:

over the movie.

Alex:

it's 12 angry men. Everyone's seen Empire. But what? I mean, I hear your point.

Cody:

We would have to listen

Alex:

I understand

Cody:

to the

Alex:

what

Cody:

dialogue

Alex:

you're saying.

Cody:

a lot more, whereas with the Empire

Alex:

That being

Cody:

Strikes Back,

Alex:

said,

Cody:

we all know the dialogue.

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

Angry

Cody:

all know

Alex:

Men

Cody:

the

Alex:

gets

Cody:

action

Alex:

my vote.

Cody:

scenes.

Alex:

I think it makes for

Cody:

Alex:

a better

Cody:

can commentate on

Alex:

commentary.

Cody:

the Empire Strikes Back. It's not even my favorite Star Wars movie, but after that last round, Dag Nabba and I'm sticking by it.

Alex:

You're not.

William:

Ha ha ha.

Cody:

Bye. Ha ha ha

Alex:

Yeah.

William:

Ha ha ha

Dallas:

William:

I have to agree Empire gets my vote too.

Alex:

Wow, empire over

William:

Listen,

Alex:

William:

it's

Alex:

angry

William:

the headstand

Alex:

men. Okay.

William:

test. I said that in, I think part one maybe, like as a kid I would stand on my head

Cody:

I would

William:

Cody:

much

William:

get the

Cody:

rather

William:

blood

Cody:

watch

William:

flow to

Cody:

Revenge

William:

wake

Cody:

William:

Cody:

the Sith

William:

up so

Cody:

than

William:

Cody:

the

William:

could

Cody:

Empire

William:

keep watching

Cody:

Strikes

William:

this

Cody:

Back,

William:

movie.

Cody:

but I know

William:

Cody:

that I'm

William:

Anger

Cody:

the

William:

Men,

Cody:

only

William:

it was like,

Cody:

one on planet

William:

I feel

Cody:

Earth

William:

Cody:

that

William:

a better

Cody:

would say

William:

human

Cody:

that.

William:

for having saw that movie. I'm voting Empire. Ha ha

Dallas:

William:

Alex:

Revenge of the Sith? No, I would watch Revenge of the Sith. Absolutely.

Cody:

I love

Alex:

Before

Cody:

the

Alex:

Empire,

Cody:

Lucas Six,

Alex:

yes.

Dallas:

No.

Cody:

but

Alex:

I would watch

Cody:

Attack of the Clones

Alex:

Attack

Cody:

is a

Alex:

Cody:

six

Alex:

the Clones

Cody:

out of six

Alex:

before I

Cody:

Alex:

watch

Cody:

mine.

Alex:

Empire. Like, being honest, I love, yeah, I love Attack of the Clones.

Cody:

You just like, and yet

Alex:

Oh,

Cody:

you don't

Alex:

don't

Cody:

Alex:

worry.

Cody:

the in-between

Alex:

I love

Cody:

movies

Alex:

Attack

Cody:

people

Alex:

Cody:

actually like,

Alex:

I love

Cody:

Alex:

the

Cody:

the

Alex:

Last

Cody:

Empire

Alex:

Jedi.

Cody:

Strikes Back.

Alex:

Um... yeah.

Cody:

It's Empire. It's Empire. Yep, it's Empire.

Alex:

No, not that much. Now, honestly, no. Kind of bored by it.

Dallas:

Empire.

Alex:

Oh well.

William:

The tomatoes are gone at this point.

Dallas:

Yeah,

Alex:

William:

I'm

Alex:

yeah.

William:

like, Dallas, come on,

Dallas:

yeah,

William:

come on,

Dallas:

this

William:

come

Dallas:

is Empire.

William:

on.

Dallas:

There's an Empire Strikes Back fan made like they officially went out and asked fans to recreate scenes Either the best or the worst that they can and they cut like shot-for-shot the whole movie

William:

It was glorious.

Dallas:

of Empire it is fantastic

Alex:

Oh, I know that that has happened. I

Cody:

with

Alex:

just

Cody:

John Boy Walton.

Alex:

don't care.

Dallas:

Did they do that for 12 Angry Men? No, no they did not.

Alex:

Actually, they

Cody:

Because

Alex:

did.

Cody:

it's

Alex:

They

Cody:

perfect.

Alex:

actually created a new

Cody:

Because

Alex:

version

Cody:

it's perfect.

Alex:

and they were like, that was so

Cody:

Alex:

good. We should do it again. They haven't done that for Empire.

Dallas:

because it's still rolling.

Alex:

I am aware that they

Cody:

Oh.

Alex:

made six more movies

Cody:

Oh.

Alex:

because of Empire,

Dallas:

Ha ha

Alex:

seven

Cody:

Oh.

Alex:

or seven more movies because of Empire, not including that garbage

Cody:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

movie

Cody:

ha ha ha

Alex:

Solo

Cody:

Alex:

or Rogue One. Solo is the worst

Dallas:

He has

Alex:

Star

Dallas:

no tomatoes

Alex:

Wars movie.

Dallas:

left so all he has is rocks

William:

Ha ha ha!

Alex:

Oh, let's be real. Rogue One, incredible. Solo, hot garbage, steaming pile of poop. three separate times in three different showings. I hate it. But that's not the discussion we're having. It's about empire. Solo?

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

Solo. We're talking about the movie with a guy...

William:

I know, I know, I

Dallas:

William:

know.

Dallas:

was long for that ride.

Alex:

Don't worry. I'm, I'm, this isn't staying. This is us.

Dallas:

Ha ha.

Cody:

I did not like how that sounded.

William:

Okay, Empire Strikes Back

Dallas:

Empire

William:

makes it

Dallas:

struck

William:

Dallas:

Empire

William:

the championship

Dallas:

stroked

William:

round.

Dallas:

back

Cody:

Ha ha ha!

Dallas:

struck back What

Alex:

I heard the word she said.

William:

I did.

Alex:

I didn't.

William:

No.

Dallas:

workshop and

Alex:

Dallas:

some

Alex:

don't...

Dallas:

things there didn't work out stick and move stick and move

William:

Ha ha ha!

Alex:

I don't even want to say I didn't like how it tasted in my mouth because

Dallas:

No,

Alex:

the

William:

No,

Dallas:

Alex:

Empire

Dallas:

William:

Alex:

stroke

William:

Alex:

William:

go there. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Alex:

I didn't like that in my mouth at all.

Dallas:

William:

in the last round of the final four, because we're out of tomatoes. We're moving, baby, come on. Interstellar versus Star Trek 2009.

Cody:

After giving a lot of grace

Alex:

I can't

Cody:

and love

Alex:

believe this is

Cody:

Alex:

happening

Cody:

the Nolan

Alex:

right now.

Cody:

Bracket,

Alex:

Someone

Cody:

it's Star

Alex:

other than

Cody:

Trek

Alex:

Cody:

2009

Alex:

because I'm so happy.

Cody:

despite the upset that it gave against my favorite movie of all time. I'm not happy about it. I'm voting. I'm voting for Star Trek even though it lasts out to last crusade, cause there ain't no way I'm letting the Nolan

William:

You're

Alex:

Hey.

Cody:

bracket

William:

voting

Cody:

in the championship.

William:

for Star Trek because it even when it lost out to last crusade Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Dallas:

Yeah.

Cody:

Alex:

Hey, you know

Cody:

even

Alex:

what?

Cody:

if I wasn't

William:

Ah.

Cody:

salty right now, it would

Alex:

I'm

Cody:

have

Alex:

not

Cody:

been

Alex:

entirely

Cody:

Star Trek because

Alex:

upset

Cody:

that's a

Alex:

with

Cody:

great movie.

Alex:

your decision-making

Cody:

Just

Alex:

criteria.

Cody:

in general.

Alex:

I knew that was going to be the way it went.

Cody:

Yes, but

William:

Yeah.

Cody:

we can already throw tomatoes because we know the scores. We know the scores and

William:

Interstellar

Alex:

Again.

Cody:

Star

William:

Cody:

Trek

William:

a great movie

Cody:

trounced

William:

too though.

Cody:

interstellar.

Alex:

I, yeah, I know.

Cody:

Star. Buy a lot.

William:

Oh yeah. Oh gosh yeah. Okay, so tomatoes are gone.

Cody:

I'm just so we know.

William:

So interstellar, I know I had said, because we still had one tomato that was, and if I could spell it right.

Alex:

We don't

William:

Alex:

have

William:

man,

Alex:

any

Cody:

Ha ha

Alex:

William:

interstellar.

Alex:

tomatoes.

Cody:

ha ha!

Alex:

I was the last

William:

Alex:

tomato.

William:

I'm saying I'm bringing up the rotten tomato score. We can like say it out loud because we're not throwing tomatoes. Has tomatoes. Lighters. We're not

Cody:

This

William:

throwing

Cody:

was the

William:

lighters.

Cody:

big-

Dallas:

Son.

Cody:

Andersteller was the beginning of Nolan needing someone in the room to tell him no.

William:

82%

Dallas:

always

William:

critic

Dallas:

smokes.

William:

score

Cody:

Like,

William:

and an

Cody:

William:

86%

Cody:

needed someone in the room to tell

William:

audience

Cody:

him no.

William:

score.

Cody:

Much like the Star Wars prequel trilogy was the beginning. Like, starting with the Dark Knight Rises,

Alex:

That is not

Cody:

Nolan

Alex:

even true.

Cody:

has gotten

Alex:

No.

Cody:

so big, people

Alex:

You're wrong,

Cody:

are now start-

Alex:

but...

Cody:

are afraid to start to tell him no. And to clean up his stories. Tenet is the ultimate culmination of that, but it's long since been beat. Hehehehehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhe

Alex:

No.

William:

Mmm.

Cody:

Well no, it started with the Dark Knight

Alex:

You

Cody:

Rises

Alex:

just don't

Cody:

with

Alex:

Cody:

the

Alex:

tenant.

Cody:

bad sound

Alex:

That's

Cody:

mix

Alex:

okay.

Cody:

in an IMAX with Bane.

William:

see that says I don't think inner stellar was

Cody:

the

William:

Cody:

dark night rises.

William:

like I Oh, Rises. Okay, okay. Yeah.

Cody:

It's go

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

I love Interstellar, it gets my vote, Interstellar. And only for the fact that it is probably one of the most

Cody:

It's...

Alex:

formative movies I've seen. It's one of the movies that I've cried through the hardest, but I have smiled and felt happier than any other movie on this list.

William:

Like after after McConaughey's performance, I went and like actually looked up. Did he lose a kid? How do you,

Alex:

But

William:

where

Alex:

not

William:

did?

Alex:

only that, it's not about losing the kid, it's about the fact that he got her back. And then...

William:

No, I mean, when he was watching the

Alex:

Oh,

William:

footage

Alex:

yeah.

William:

and like she was aging up,

Alex:

Ugh.

William:

real to real to real, real. Gosh, I hate the way that Instagram

Cody:

Listen,

William:

has

Cody:

William:

imprinted

Cody:

this was

William:

Cody:

Trek

William:

my brain.

Dallas:

Cody:

09 going up

William:

Film

Cody:

against

William:

Cody:

Star

William:

film

Cody:

Trek

Alex:

Sorry

William:

to film,

Cody:

First

Alex:

Alex:

William:

Yeah,

Cody:

William:

right.

Alex:

Cody:

isn't.

Alex:

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas:

ha ha ha

Alex:

Dallas:

ha ha

Alex:

it's

Dallas:

Alex:

even worse I mean. First of all. Here's the thing. All right, if

William:

But it

Alex:

I'm gonna

William:

isn't.

Alex:

put them side by side, I'm putting them side by side here. Jekino score, incredible. Zimmer's score is just otherworldly. It has a following of people who, like there's a whole subset on the internet of people who play organs that are asked by schoolchildren to play the interstellar theme.

Cody:

Trek

William:

Okay,

Alex:

William:

I didn't

Alex:

mean,

William:

know where

Cody:

William:

that was going. I

Cody:

William:

didn't know

Cody:

the

William:

who composed

Cody:

last

William:

who.

Cody:

score

William:

So I'm

Dallas:

William:

like,

Dallas:

ha ha

William:

I'm

Dallas:

Cody:

Dallas:

ha!

Cody:

William:

waiting

Cody:

long

William:

for it.

Cody:

time.

William:

Like,

Cody:

There

William:

it's

Cody:

are two

William:

like you

Cody:

scores

William:

meet somebody

Cody:

in the 2000s

William:

and you know who they

Cody:

that

William:

are

Cody:

have

William:

and

Cody:

made

William:

you're waiting

Cody:

me stood

William:

for their

Cody:

William:

name

Cody:

and

William:

Cody:

cheer

William:

come up in conversation,

Cody:

for the

Alex:

Right.

Cody:

score.

William:

Cody:

It's

William:

organically.

Cody:

Trek 09 and Transformers of the Movie. Oh, that's true. That- That's true. That's true.

Alex:

What? No, you said Avengers Endgame in the last episode. How are you changing this?

Cody:

Uh, John

Alex:

See? This

Cody:

Williams

Alex:

just goes to show

Cody:

just

Alex:

there's

Cody:

across

Alex:

a lot

Cody:

the

Alex:

Cody:

board

Alex:

good scores

Cody:

has a cult

Alex:

out

Cody:

following

Alex:

there.

Cody:

more than

Alex:

How

Cody:

Alex:

many

Cody:

saying.

Alex:

have a cult following in her stellar? How many

William:

Alex?

Cody:

Alex:

I just

Dallas:

I have a cold.

Alex:

I mean, look.

William:

Uh...

Dallas:

That's not hard to start.

William:

Uh...

Alex:

Look,

Dallas:

That's

Alex:

hey,

Dallas:

a low

Alex:

here's

Dallas:

bar.

Alex:

the deal. I love Chikino's score. I love the, this is even where I differ with other people. I love the lens flares and the anamorphic lenses that are used, like the anamorphic lenses

Cody:

Avengers

Alex:

used in Star

Cody:

had

Alex:

Trek,

Cody:

a better

Alex:

beautiful.

Cody:

Tesseract.

Alex:

The cinematography, that entire Tesseract scene at the end of Interstellar was done for real. That is all done in camera. I just

William:

Really?

Alex:

blew William's brain. Yes, that

Cody:

Ett tål William. Ett tål.

Alex:

is all done for real.

William:

Okay, Alex, I... you have swayed me.

Alex:

I-I-I'm happy.

Dallas:

Ha ha

Alex:

I'm happy one way or another.

William:

You have swayed me because I popped off with an unfounded comment during our last episode. During, well, the part two of 32.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

William:

And I went back and I listened to the Star Trek 2009 score.

Cody:

Ha ha ha!

Alex:

It's incredible. I know that.

William:

It is.

Cody:

Because

William:

And

Cody:

Dallas

William:

that's where you

Cody:

doesn't

William:

swayed

Cody:

care.

William:

me.

Alex:

I know. I'm not even upset.

William:

So I vote Star Trek 2009.

Alex:

That's fine.

Cody:

Ha ha!

Dallas:

This is so hard. I have seen both of these movies exactly. Yeah, I don't. I've saw both of these one time

Cody:

So you

Alex:

Yeah.

Cody:

said

Dallas:

and

Cody:

pie

Dallas:

Cody:

and

Dallas:

don't

Cody:

you voted

Dallas:

really

Cody:

Star

Dallas:

care

Cody:

Trek

Dallas:

Cody:

then.

Dallas:

watch them again. Like

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

I don't pine to

Cody:

Right?

Dallas:

watch them again. Like they were

Alex:

You don't

Dallas:

fine.

Cody:

It's

Alex:

crisp

Cody:

legally

Dallas:

They were,

Cody:

blonde.

Alex:

pine to rewatch them?

William:

Dallas:

I, oh. I,

Alex:

Thank you.

William:

That's what I'm hearing, right? Right?

Dallas:

It's legally

William:

No.

Dallas:

binding. I thought they're both fantastic movies. They made it this far for a reason and one rotten tomato.

Alex:

Do you want to give me the satisfaction of letting my rotten tomato go forward or do you want to give me the satisfaction

Cody:

Hmm

Alex:

of a solid Academy Award winning film going forward? It's up to you. I won't be upset either way.

Dallas:

I pick James the Giant Peach at

Cody:

Listen,

Dallas:

one time,

Alex:

Ha ha!

Cody:

Dallas,

Dallas:

Cody:

Dallas:

that

Cody:

gotta

Dallas:

doesn't

Cody:

go to

Dallas:

matter

Cody:

bed.

Dallas:

to me whatsoever.

William:

Ha ha ha

Cody:

I don't

Alex:

Exactly,

Cody:

think we could survive

Alex:

I'm

Cody:

another

Alex:

not upset.

Cody:

phone call.

Alex:

Like do you want to let my rotten tomato go on or do you want to let my Academy Award winner go on? Like, oh no.

William:

Dallas:

Oh, that's true.

William:

ha ha ha ha ha ha

Dallas:

I, I loved Interstellar. I did. But I do feel like it's one of those that the magic is out of the box once you get to the end. And the rewatch is not as good.

Cody:

How many

Dallas:

Cody:

times

Dallas:

I am

Cody:

have

Dallas:

going

Cody:

you seen a new hope?

Dallas:

to very,

Cody:

You know.

Dallas:

very thinly teeter towards Star

Cody:

Now

Dallas:

Trek

Cody:

you get a new hope

Dallas:

09.

Cody:

with different characters.

William:

Okay.

Dallas:

and be more times than I can count.

Cody:

because Alex is gonna come in your bookcase and start throwing dust

William:

Cody:

at you.

William:

ha ha.

Dallas:

And I don't I don't know I feel like I'm the middle of the night I'm gonna wake up and regret this decision, but I'm gonna go with it today I do feel like I'm gonna watch I'm gonna go back and watch Interstellar and be like why did I did not pick this movie?

Alex:

Ha ha ha!

William:

Yeah.

Dallas:

But

William:

No,

Dallas:

William:

and

Dallas:

of right now

William:

I like the way that this has all been structured because the closer that we've gotten to the championship, there's been less spite vote

Dallas:

Ha ha

William:

Dallas:

William:

your face because they're like, these are all

Cody:

It's

William:

great

Cody:

Star Wars vs Star

Alex:

Right.

Cody:

Trek.

William:

movies.

Dallas:

Well, I'm afraid to make the wrong choice now because they're razor thin choices.

William:

But you all do realize what has happened. Right. we have

Alex:

William:

landed

Alex:

ha ha!

William:

on the seminal nerd versus nerd

Dallas:

Yeah, no.

Alex:

And guys,

William:

rivalry that

Alex:

William:

dates

Alex:

am about

William:

back

Alex:

William:

Alex:

lose...

William:

years?

Cody:

Alex:

We are about to lose so many friends, but I have a winner here. And we're gonna find out

Dallas:

I'm not

Alex:

after

Dallas:

gonna lose

Alex:

this

Dallas:

any

Alex:

break,

Dallas:

friends.

Alex:

we're gonna go to break

William:

Yay! Yay!

Alex:

when we come back for the championship. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-

William:

Yeah. This seems appropriate, yeah.

Dallas:

I couldn't, there you go. Keep going.

William:

beautiful chaos.

Alex:

All right,

Dallas:

Yeah.

Alex:

all right. So when we come back, it's time that we do a rehash of everything.

William:

Okay.

Alex:

Okay. Wow, all right guys, I have been asking

Cody:

Are you?

Alex:

for this episode series for almost two years at this point. And I, I'm over the moon without this is gone.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha!

Alex:

First of all, my main goal in life is just to ruin friendships, break hearts, crush dreams.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha

William:

You have succeeded.

Alex:

Let's let's think about this. We all picked there were 80 movies that we

Cody:

Knives

Alex:

picked

Cody:

were

Alex:

as our

Cody:

out,

Alex:

favorite

Cody:

that's for sure.

Alex:

movies of all time and we whittled that down to a cross-section of 32 movies that we all cared about. We had Knives Out, James and the Giant Peach,

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

or to... oh I'm not gonna read through them all I promise.

William:

down.

Alex:

But the

Dallas:

Alex:

fact

Dallas:

ha ha.

Alex:

is is that we have had a wild ride. We had

Cody:

Heh.

Alex:

a Rotten Tomato with Minority beat out a tiebreaker. That was hilarious, amazing. It broke my wife's heart. She won't speak to me anymore.

Dallas:

William:

Ha ha.

Alex:

We had a rotten tomato that was then paired with a rock,

William:

A game of

Alex:

paper, scissors.

William:

rock, paper,

Cody:

for Indiana Jones

William:

scissors.

Cody:

and the last crusade and then

Alex:

Right.

Cody:

my heart was broken.

Alex:

William, where was your rotten tomato?

William:

Mine was for gravity.

Alex:

Gravity, right?

William:

Yeah, yeah.

Alex:

Cody threw his for last crusade. Dallas, where did you just throw yours?

Dallas:

I don't even remember, hold on.

William:

You threw it, you

Dallas:

William:

threw

Dallas:

threw

William:

Dallas:

it.

William:

valiantly for Independence

Dallas:

That's

William:

Day.

Alex:

Independence

Dallas:

right, yeah.

Alex:

Day. I mean, it just, and it failed, which is, I mean, we have had every single possible, I threw mine for Star Trek with no knowledge that the classic from Spielberg, Lucas, and Harrison Ford. I mean,

Cody:

Oh,

Alex:

I feel

Cody:

Harris

Alex:

Cody:

and Ford

Alex:

I have

Cody:

still

Alex:

robbed

Cody:

in this.

Alex:

Harrison Ford of an Academy Award right here.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

William:

Now, it wasn't a huge upset. It was like a point and a half

Alex:

It was.

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

higher on the average. You are

Cody:

William:

not

Dallas:

Yeah.

William:

wrong.

Cody:

chicken run.

Dallas:

That was kind

Alex:

And.

Dallas:

of like, like, if there was some sort of, like, rebel group that was going up against a huge empire, and one.

William:

Ha ha ha ha

Dallas:

Same

William:

ha!

Dallas:

story. Same story. Exactly.

William:

And that has brought us to

Alex:

William:

our championship

Alex:

the

William:

round.

Alex:

end,

Dallas:

Here we are.

Alex:

Star Trek 2009 vs. The Empire Strikes Back.

William:

Is this

Alex:

Bye.

William:

our collective moment of silence?

Dallas:

is we're all holding our breath.

Alex:

Guys, I am about to lose friends over this. I'm going to lose us listeners over this. Star Trek 2009 gets my vote for the fact that I adore that movie. I think it is a fun ride from start to finish. Yeah, Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto. Yeah, Star Trek 2009, Michael Giacchino.

Cody:

If this had been a fair competition,

Alex:

It's an audio

Cody:

it would

Alex:

medium,

Cody:

have been

Alex:

Cody.

Cody:

Empire

Alex:

You're going

Cody:

Strikes

Alex:

to have

Cody:

Back

Alex:

to talk.

Cody:

vs. The Last Crusade.

Dallas:

He's

William:

Dallas:

letting it sink in. He's

Cody:

And

William:

ha ha

Dallas:

letting

Cody:

Last

William:

ha ha

Dallas:

it...

Cody:

Crusade

William:

Dallas:

letting

Alex:

Sorry.

Dallas:

it...

Alex:

It's not a visual medium.

Cody:

would have voted for the last crusade over the Empire Strikes Back. Ha ha There's a reason.

Alex:

If this was

William:

I know,

Alex:

a fairer

Cody:

There's

William:

Alex:

competition,

William:

know.

Cody:

a reason

Alex:

this would have been knives

Cody:

why

Alex:

out versus interstellar,

Cody:

people compare

Alex:

but,

Cody:

movies

Alex:

you know...

Cody:

to the Empire Strikes Back.

Dallas:

the

William:

That's so

Dallas:

whatever

William:

funny,

Cody:

It is the tentpole

William:

Alex.

Cody:

William:

You

Cody:

which all

William:

and your

Cody:

sequels

William:

jokes.

Cody:

are gauged.

Alex:

Yes, I do. Thank

Cody:

It is John

Alex:

you.

Cody:

Williams in the height of his powers. It was a controversial subversive movie at the time. You know, the Luke I Am Your Father It's no I am your father seen Luke. I am your father is folklore at this point. It's not how it actually went down. John Williams of the height of his powers, George Lucas, Darth Vader, it's a classic story of good versus evil and the bad guys win at the end. In 1980 you could not get more subversive than that. Empire strikes back. and it's like 99% on rotten tomatoes and this is like 10 year old memory coming from me at this point I don't know it for sure it's the Empire Ha ha ha It took

William:

Oh.

Dallas:

Ah.

Cody:

making it took Star Wars

Dallas:

I agree.

Cody:

to make Star Trek relevant

Dallas:

I won't lose

Cody:

again

Dallas:

any friends because I'm not friends with Trekkies.

Alex:

Ha ha ha!

Cody:

Thank you.

William:

Dallas:

No, I'm just kidding.

Alex:

I'm

Cody:

It's...

Alex:

right here, Dallas.

Dallas:

I'm so sorry.

Cody:

It's Spectre Gadget just fell off off my desk

William:

Are you

Alex:

Bye.

William:

having an earthquake?

Dallas:

There's Trekkie

Alex:

That...

Dallas:

storming his house

Alex:

See?

Dallas:

right

Alex:

Dallas:

now.

Alex:

you...

Dallas:

What?

Alex:

See, alright.

William:

Yeah.

Alex:

I think where I will disagree is that what I like about Star Trek over Star Wars, in many respects, is that it, we've talked about this offline, but it, thinks that there is a way that the world

Cody:

but

Alex:

can get better and that humanity can work with other cultures and there is a hopeful tone

Cody:

Listen, I agree

Alex:

that

Cody:

with you

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

not

Cody:

Star

Alex:

found

Cody:

Trek. The

Alex:

Cody:

hopeful

Alex:

other franchises.

Cody:

future is what

Alex:

You all know

Cody:

has caused

Alex:

that I am

Cody:

it to

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

than happy to

Cody:

five,

Alex:

watch a movie

Cody:

Alex:

where everybody feels

Cody:

Alex:

sad

Cody:

Alex:

Cody:

year

Alex:

the

Cody:

old

Alex:

end.

Cody:

franchise, 500

Dallas:

Cody:

books, multiple

William:

Ha ha ha!

Cody:

TV series.

Alex:

Oh. So this is where though, I am going to say, I didn't grow up with either of these franchises. If I'm sitting down to watch either of these movies,

Cody:

it's actually

Alex:

Cody:

on TNT.

Alex:

I turn on TBS,

Cody:

The

Alex:

Cody:

Star

Alex:

Cody:

Wars

Alex:

Cody:

movies

Alex:

click through

Cody:

are

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

Disney

Cody:

TBS

Alex:

Channel

Cody:

and TNT.

Alex:

and the Empire Strikes Back is on one and Star Trek is on the other, I'm going to watch Star Trek.

Cody:

It is St. Patrick's Day.

Alex:

Ah, TNT. My bad.

William:

Potato tomato. It, listen.

Dallas:

Hahaha.

Alex:

Thank

Dallas:

Wait,

Alex:

you.

Dallas:

can we

Cody:

It's

Dallas:

throw rotten

Cody:

five

Dallas:

potatoes now?

Cody:

on my

Dallas:

Is that

Cody:

Star

Dallas:

a thing?

William:

Cody:

Wars

Dallas:

No.

Cody:

ranking. Like,

Alex:

It's not, it is not

Cody:

Alex:

that

Cody:

intentionally

Alex:

I, you know, dislike

Cody:

lower

Alex:

empire.

Cody:

it to make some people

Alex:

It's that

Cody:

mad. Like.

Alex:

I love Star Trek.

Cody:

But I'm

Alex:

It's

Cody:

not

Alex:

not

Cody:

intentionally

Alex:

even your top

Cody:

lowering

Alex:

Star

Cody:

it today

Alex:

Wars.

Cody:

because if it's up against Star Trek 2009, listen it's a new hope.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha!

Alex:

Okay, but

William:

but you're

Alex:

William:

not

Alex:

agree

William:

gonna

Alex:

with

William:

intentionally

Alex:

you.

William:

lower it today.

Cody:

and a little bit of Empire. It took Star Wars to bring Star Trek back. It was dead. It

Alex:

Cody:

was

Alex:

say

Cody:

dead

Alex:

that

Cody:

for

Alex:

about a lot

Cody:

six

Alex:

of things.

Cody:

years.

William:

and a little bit

Cody:

And

William:

Cody:

then

William:

Empire

Cody:

William:

too.

Cody:

brought it back by basically being a Star Wars demo tape.

Alex:

where.

Cody:

It's gotta be Empire. It's the OG.

Alex:

I don't disagree. I don't disagree. But if you watch...

Cody:

Ha ha.

Dallas:

I agree. I'm voting Empire. Empire was the first movie that I watched and went,

Cody:

Listen.

Dallas:

I think this is changing

Cody:

Listen.

Dallas:

me.

William:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Dallas:

I...

Alex:

You said that about Jurassic Park.

Dallas:

No, I knew Jurassic Park was changing me.

William:

Ha ha ha

Alex:

Dallas:

This

Alex:

huh.

Dallas:

changed,

Alex:

Uh huh.

Dallas:

and I didn't go on. I wanted to be a raptor whenever Jurassic

Cody:

Thank you.

Dallas:

Park came out, but I still want to be a part of the rebellion today. So that

Alex:

Yeah, I'm part

Dallas:

Alex:

Dallas:

still

Alex:

a subreddit

Dallas:

there.

Alex:

called The Empire Did Nothing Wrong, so...

Dallas:

What?

Cody:

William,

Alex:

Yeah.

Dallas:

Cody:

Alex

Dallas:

Alex

Cody:

for

Dallas:

is pro-empire

Cody:

me, George Lucas

Dallas:

in all

Cody:

Dallas:

Cody:

Dallas:

its

Cody:

Dallas:

forms.

Cody:

what Chris Nolan is

Alex:

Guess who

Cody:

to you.

Alex:

got the COVID vaccine?

Cody:

I hold that man up on a pedestal.

William:

Dallas:

William:

ha ha!

Cody:

Listen, the man made his movies, he made his movies his way

Alex:

Oof,

Cody:

without any studio

Alex:

if you ever

Cody:

interference

Alex:

talk that

Cody:

whatsoever,

Alex:

low about

Cody:

for better

Alex:

Chris Nolan...

Cody:

or for worse. It's the American Dream.

Alex:

I know which way, and you know what? I know which way the tide is blowing. I know which way the vote is going. One of my favorite movies that did not make this

Cody:

American

Alex:

cut

Cody:

Graffiti.

Alex:

was,

Cody:

George Lucas'

Alex:

why am I spacing on it?

Cody:

second ever

Alex:

American

Cody:

film.

Alex:

George Lucas. Yes,

Dallas:

Okay.

Alex:

one of my favorite movies, not on this list, American Graffiti, yes. And it's got Ron Howard, it's just a slice of life Americana film, right? You know, going to the drive-in with all your buddies, talking about future and call, like that's a great movie. I think that Lucas was best when he was doing those kinds of movies. And come,

Cody:

Now, if this is going

Alex:

you know, the

Cody:

Alex:

2000s,

Cody:

Star Trek vs the Prequels,

Alex:

riding

Cody:

there's

Alex:

high

Cody:

more of an argument

Alex:

Cody:

here.

Alex:

his

Cody:

But this is

Alex:

laurel,

Cody:

George

Alex:

riding

Cody:

Lucas

Alex:

Cody:

Alex:

his laurels,

Cody:

the peak of his

Alex:

he has

Cody:

powers.

Alex:

fallen far.

Cody:

William,

Alex:

It's

Cody:

it's up to

Alex:

kind

Cody:

you.

Alex:

of it is, because I put Empire Strikes Back below the prequels. It's just the way I go. And that's alright. I'll have fun. Well, only kinda.

William:

Well, I either tie it or one win.

Dallas:

Yeah.

Cody:

in the most basic basic winter of all time the empire strikes back

William:

an empire.

Alex:

Yeah.

Dallas:

YES! Aww...

Cody:

That was Source for Stone.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha

William:

Dallas:

William:

just now this is not by any stretch of the imagination who I had going to the end Full stop.

Alex:

I do

William:

No,

Alex:

want to

William:

it wasn't

Alex:

hear.

William:

the source of her stone. But honestly, it's Star Trek 2009, it was exactly that. It was 2009. And I left that movie thinking,

Cody:

Farmboy

William:

oh,

Cody:

with daddy issues discovers

William:

this

Cody:

he has

William:

was

Cody:

a greater destiny in space,

William:

a new

Cody:

fights

William:

hope

Cody:

a villain with a

William:

and

Cody:

weapon with

William:

Empire

Cody:

enough firepower

William:

Strikes Back.

Cody:

to destroy an entire planet,

William:

Just told

You've

generation,

William:

got it memorized at this point, don't you?

Cody:

and then defeats the bad guy with a giant explosion and a planet killing superweapon.

Dallas:

Cody:

Yeah.

Dallas:

That's it, yeah.

William:

It paved the way for Star

Cody:

Star

William:

Trek

Cody:

Wars brought

William:

2009

Cody:

Star Trek back. That's just a fact. It would have been a three season

William:

Cody:

show

William:

happen.

Cody:

in the 60s, but Paramount

William:

Cody:

was like,

do some of our other lists in a future year,

Dallas:

I've

Cody:

I...

Dallas:

never watched that is

Cody:

If this

Dallas:

the

Cody:

was

Dallas:

only

Cody:

Empire Strikes Back

Dallas:

Star

Cody:

vs.

Dallas:

Trek

Cody:

First Contact,

Dallas:

I think

Cody:

I would

Dallas:

I've

Cody:

Dallas:

ever

Cody:

struggling.

Dallas:

watched ever

Cody:

Seriously. I would be struggling.

Dallas:

and

Cody:

Nope. Nope. If it was Empire Strikes Back vs. Last Crusade, like it should have been, it would have been Last Crusade. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAH

William:

Amen. But it isn't, because...

Dallas:

William:

Ha ha ha ha!

Alex:

Keep

Cody:

James

Alex:

saying

Cody:

and

Alex:

should

Cody:

the Giant

Alex:

have been

Cody:

Peach versus

Alex:

and by that

Cody:

Lincoln.

Alex:

logic. And by that point,

William:

But Star

Alex:

William:

Wars,

Alex:

James

William:

the

Alex:

on the

William:

Empire.

Alex:

giant peach would have

Cody:

Alex:

never made it out.

Dallas:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

William:

Hmm. Ooh.

Alex:

You have created the opposite of a good time.

Cody:

Third.

Dallas:

This is the darkest timeline.

William:

Dallas:

That's what

Cody:

Ha ha

Dallas:

Cody:

ha.

Dallas:

looks like. But to be fair,

Cody:

Dallas:

I would

Cody:

will.

Dallas:

watch any of these movies with you guys Because
