Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Hey everyone and welcome to a another episode, the fourth episode of the Yap off podcast. I'm your host, Ted, along as always with John, Sam and Joe.
All right. Yes, as always.
[00:00:16] Speaker B: Oh, hey Ted.
[00:00:17] Speaker A: Yeah, cool. Great.
[00:00:19] Speaker C: You gotta at least pause like if you're gonna.
[00:00:23] Speaker A: I'm pausing. I paused cuz there was a pause there. Some good news, bad news. The inaugural member of the Yap Yapaholics Delight, Scott Efros.
Believe he has a grade 2 hamstring strain. Or is it a calf?
[00:00:41] Speaker B: I was just say we all have hamstrings. I. You might want to add another word to go.
[00:00:46] Speaker A: Well, I said grade two as if to signal that like it's a strain or pulled. I don't. Is it calf or hamstring?
[00:00:55] Speaker D: Whatever it is, is more downtime for him to come on the podcast and talk about hot rod.
[00:01:00] Speaker A: To talk about Hot rod now. Yes, exactly. I know you're listening. Scott F. Ross. My DMs are open.
Joe, I want to ask one quick question.
[00:01:11] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: You drafted Step Brothers, correct?
[00:01:15] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure I did, yeah.
[00:01:17] Speaker A: Then, ladies and gentlemen, we have the second member of the Apaholics Delight, Max Maxi Keebler. Keber of the Los Angeles Lakers has selected Step Brothers as the best movie to watch on a long flight.
[00:01:34] Speaker B: I think, I think it doesn't need to qualifier. I think it's just a great movie specifically with that qualifier. It's not going to get you through most of the fight.
[00:01:42] Speaker A: I know, I know.
[00:01:43] Speaker B: It's just going to be a portion of it. But it is a. It is a great one.
[00:01:46] Speaker A: It's like it's a funny pick because he's like. It was like the. The video was like on a long fight. What are you watching? And he's like, oh, Step Brothers. Obviously everyone's picking like the Godfather, Harry Potter movie. Like they're all picking good movies. Not that like you know, Step Brothers isn't a good movie, but it's like they're all picking like cinema. You know what I mean? Max, Maxi Keber, if you're ever. I know you're listening to just like Scott F. Frost. You have text chains ready to go. DMS are open for you to join so we can talk about Step Brothers.
[00:02:23] Speaker C: I heard they listen together.
[00:02:24] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
[00:02:26] Speaker C: And then they text each other after each episode.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: They're both injured, so they have time.
[00:02:31] Speaker D: The injured athlete group chat.
[00:02:33] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:02:35] Speaker D: Cross sport.
[00:02:36] Speaker A: It's so funny that like we. I mean small sample size of like 15 guys, but like it's not like stars. It's like, just like guys. And I think that's the best part of it that this.
[00:02:53] Speaker B: The stars are. Are the stars too big time for hot rod.
[00:02:57] Speaker A: I'm. They're too big for the movies we like.
Well, LeBron James walked. He's the first guy to answer in the video and his answer is Godfather too.
[00:03:08] Speaker B: Yeah, that sounds. That sounds like a little brown answer.
[00:03:14] Speaker C: Ask him how many scenes he's watched and what his favorite scene was.
[00:03:19] Speaker B: Ah, the whole movie. Just the whole. The whole. Every. Every frame.
[00:03:23] Speaker A: He's too busy stalking Stephen A. Smith like a line stalks a gazelle.
[00:03:29] Speaker C: I mean, with chat. GPT right now, there's no reason not to just say, hey, give me four fun scenes or four famous scenes out of the Godfather.
[00:03:38] Speaker A: You know The Godfather Part 2 with. With fun scenes.
Famously. Famously a fun scene movie.
[00:03:48] Speaker C: If you're gonna watch the trilogy or at least the first two, it's a seven hour day. There's got to be at least four fun scenes.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: I watched. I watched this video. Just because we're on topic of the Godfather, It's. It's relevant of this guy was ranking every. Every like younger version of self performance in a movie. So like, you know, you'd have like the current timeline and then they would have bat. They'd have flashbacks like the young Forrest Gump with. With Tom Hanks. Right. Comparing things like that. And he looks like 10 movies. Like, this kid sounds just like the real actor. Well, but then we. He doesn't mention Robert De Niro in Godfather 2 as the younger version of Marlon Brando. And it's like, why would you even make the list if you're not gonna have like, probably one of the most iconic film performances ever and it's not even. Doesn't even make the honorable mentions.
[00:04:40] Speaker A: Was the George Lopez show where George Lopez, they put like his head on a kid's body. Was that on it?
[00:04:48] Speaker B: No, that didn't make the cut.
[00:04:50] Speaker D: That's a shame with young Sheldon on.
[00:04:51] Speaker B: There for playing the version of. It wasn't a movie. It's not qualified.
[00:04:56] Speaker D: Oh, it's movies, man.
[00:04:59] Speaker C: Do you need a George Lopez young Sheldon crossover?
[00:05:01] Speaker A: No, hey, we don't need any of these.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: I don't think we need that.
[00:05:06] Speaker A: I survived the plane fight, obviously, because I'm here.
[00:05:09] Speaker B: Yep. Congratulations.
[00:05:11] Speaker A: At my dad's retirement, my mom said to my sister, don't do the bit where you tell everyone that everyone loves dad and everyone hates me.
And as we were leaving, my mom was talking about how nice it was. And then my sister and I asked, hey, how come you didn't get a retirement party? And her response immediately was, I was fighting with the firm. And if that's just. Why not let my sister do the joke? If you are, you are doing the it in reality.
[00:05:43] Speaker B: Right? He says, did the golf clubs make an appearance?
[00:05:49] Speaker A: Golf clubs did not make appearance. They're. They're in storage. Also, they're my golf clubs. Why would they make an appearance? Parents just.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: They're relevant to, you know.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: No, they're not. How are they relevant? Please enlighten me, Joe. I have a set of O.J. simpson golf clubs. I'm really proud of them. I'm assuming that's what he's talking about.
[00:06:09] Speaker B: I sure am.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:06:11] Speaker D: Used by OJ Simpson.
[00:06:13] Speaker A: They were seized in the civil case.
[00:06:16] Speaker D: Oh, brother.
[00:06:18] Speaker B: So they were used. Yeah, they.
[00:06:20] Speaker A: It has his name on them on the golf bag.
[00:06:24] Speaker C: O.J. simpson from Naked Gun.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:27] Speaker C: Guy that was on the commercials.
[00:06:28] Speaker B: The very.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: Yeah, the famous O.J. the Juice.
[00:06:32] Speaker D: 2000 yards in 14 games.
[00:06:34] Speaker A: Yeah, that one. Yes.
[00:06:35] Speaker C: Trophy. Heisman winner. Heisman Trophy winner. O.J. simpson.
[00:06:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I'm just happy I could say this now because there was a time where he was, like, stealing stuff from people because they were his. And now that he's dead, I get I could sleep well knowing my golf clubs will stay in my possession.
[00:06:54] Speaker C: Yeah, but the killer's still out there.
[00:06:56] Speaker A: Yeah, the killer.
[00:06:57] Speaker D: Terrible news.
[00:07:01] Speaker A: But, yes, the killer is still out there.
Well, he's probably finding him in the well. OG's probably in heaven. The killer, if dead, is in hell, obviously.
[00:07:12] Speaker C: Right.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: Fingers crossed.
[00:07:13] Speaker A: Fingers crossed. Let's get to the bulk of this episode where it's dead. Draft Day, Part two. We're drafting Disney movies.
I put the caveat. It had to be. This was in the group chat because I was doing research, and when I typed in the list of Disney movies, I got, like, Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo on the list because Disney owns Touchstone Pictures.
[00:07:39] Speaker D: That's on my board.
[00:07:41] Speaker A: I was just like, obviously this isn't a Disney movie. But I had to say, don't. It had to be a Walt Disney Productions Pictures. A Walt Disney Pictures.
Had to. You had to see the Magic Castle at the beginning. Pixar counts as well. Had to be, like, what we in, like, how we understand Disney movies to be like, we're not going to sit here and argue that, like, Pulp Fiction's a Disney movie because it's right, you know, because it's not. It's a Miramax movie. And also like that I'm not showing that to my kids.
[00:08:14] Speaker B: It is an interesting point, though, obviously, where we all, we all know what you mean by a Disney movie, but, like, like Pretty Woman, right? You mentioned Touchstone Pictures or whatever like that Wikipedia, it's just like the adult, like, not adult. It's just the not children's version where Disney put, put money in the 90s.
[00:08:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: You know, so, like, is Pretty Woman a Disney movie? Like, it's not. Not. But it also is. I don't know. It's tough. It's tough.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: It is. So I want. I know we, I figured we all kind of understood, but I wanted that caveat in there just in case Sam comes in pack one, pick one. And he's like, yeah, Pulp Fiction is my number one pick. And I'm like, okay, obviously, if we're. Yeah, it's a fantastic movie, but that's not a Disney movie.
[00:09:05] Speaker D: Listen, I was. Since you said this was going to be the next episode, I have been like, bookmarked the, you know, list of Walt Disney Productions movies on Wikipedia page, just, like, scouring the, like, hey, if I pull this off, how many noises is Ted gonna hit me with from the soundboard there?
[00:09:25] Speaker A: So I want to say there are technically. No, there is no bad. There's. There are wrong answers because I just said there are wrong answers, but there's not a soundboard. I, like, I'm just gonna have to.
[00:09:37] Speaker B: Like, I was worried about the soundboard also.
[00:09:39] Speaker A: There, There is.
[00:09:40] Speaker D: I was hoping to make a pick so bad it breaks up the soundboard.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: I, I, Well, I don't have sound, so that's. It's not gonna happen.
[00:09:48] Speaker D: Roz can edit in post then.
[00:09:49] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. Because Ross is definitely the one editing this and not the, the guys sitting in my chair right now, which is.
[00:09:58] Speaker C: Rise in there because this isn't a. I'm gonna throw this in there because this isn't a. What do you call it? Like, it's not an option to pick.
[00:10:06] Speaker A: Yeah, sure.
[00:10:07] Speaker C: I forever would see scenes all the time. It looked like a great movie. I watched it on a plane.
[00:10:15] Speaker A: Question, hold on. Did you watch it on a channel.
[00:10:19] Speaker C: In a full setting on. No, no, it was on. It was the actual movie scenes. Cursing the whole bits. I can't tell you what that movie's about. I don't know what it's about.
[00:10:29] Speaker A: That's fair.
[00:10:29] Speaker C: I like, it's got great scenes and, like, I understand why people like it. I, I don't know what it's about.
[00:10:34] Speaker A: I def. I'm probably my hot take Is like, I think Tarantino is, like, a fine filmmaker, not like we people glaze him too much is kind of my hot take, I guess, because, remember, John, you remember when I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I texted you when I left the theater. I mean, this is, like, years ago. I text guys like, I think Quentin Tarantino needs to, like, take a vacation for making movies.
[00:10:58] Speaker C: Was it the Hateful Eight, too, right? That was his movie.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:01] Speaker C: That was a hot piece of garbage.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: Oh, you're crazy. That is so flowers.
[00:11:06] Speaker C: There's an intermission after, like, two and a half hours for 10 minutes, and then they come back and everyone dies. The end.
[00:11:12] Speaker B: Oh, you're crazy, dude. Channing Tatum saying adios to your huevos when he shoots. Oh, my God.
[00:11:19] Speaker C: So good note from Lincoln. Wasn't even real.
[00:11:22] Speaker A: Anyways, DJ Ango's his best movie. Let's leave it at that.
[00:11:27] Speaker B: I just want to say quickly, Ted.
[00:11:29] Speaker A: Yeah, sure.
[00:11:30] Speaker B: The. The pie chart or whatever, the Venn diagram, however you say that phrase of people that would argue Pulp Fiction is a Disney movie is just a circle crawl, like, fully lapped over with the Die Hard to Christmas movie.
[00:11:48] Speaker A: Well, okay, that's because here's the thing. I used to be a Die Hard, not a Christmas movie evangelist. I watched Die Hard for the first time not too long ago. I hate to break it to you. Is a Christmas movie.
[00:12:04] Speaker B: All right, well, then Pulp Fiction's legal.
[00:12:07] Speaker A: No, Pulp Fiction is not a Disney movie. So your Vento at the start of it. Yeah. There's no Walt Disney. It's not a Walt Disney prediction. All right, Anyways, here we are. Like, I was debating. All right. I was. I was debating if we use the last draft as a way to pick the, like, draft order.
But, like, it doesn't make sense. Yeah, exactly. It didn't. I was like, do it. I didn't want to let the winner do it. And I thought of a system where, like, the loser who got the least votes gots to pick fair. But, like, I opted. Let's just stick to the wheel. The wheel does us good. I'm gonna click the shuffle button so the order's getting shuffled. So there's no. You don't think there's any trickery?
All right? And then I'm gonna press Ctrl Enter or click the spin to spin this wheel.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: So intense right now.
[00:13:06] Speaker A: John has the first pick.
[00:13:10] Speaker C: I was gonna win this draft without the first pick, so this is.
[00:13:13] Speaker A: I'm gonna lose this draft.
All right? And we're gonna go again.
[00:13:22] Speaker B: John's John's trading down.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: Sam's the second pick. Yeah. For a future first pick in a different draft.
[00:13:35] Speaker C: Listen, my one one pack is. I'm not gonna tip it, but that just.
[00:13:40] Speaker A: You can.
[00:13:40] Speaker D: No one can take it from you.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: And, Joe, you are once again the Wheel. The. The last pick.
[00:13:48] Speaker B: That's all right. The wheels. Hey, I got a fancy baseball draft coming up soon. The Wheel is a good place to be.
[00:13:54] Speaker A: I also have my fantasy baseball draft next week, and I'm praying that half of my team is not on the IL by may, like the last two years.
All right, John, you are on the clock.
[00:14:11] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm very excited for this. I feel very much, like, super bad. There is just one. One pick when it comes to Disney movies, at least for people my age, and we're all in the same category. I'm going with Toy Story, the first one.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is respect. I respect that pick. I want to say. Oh, go ahead. I'll let you say.
[00:14:28] Speaker C: Let me. Let me have the floor. Because I made the pick. And, yeah, there's no movie that puts a smile on anybody's face. Even just seeing the characters pop up in cameos, it's so popular that it'll pop up in other Disney bits when you go to the parks, which is pretty cool.
Everyone can relate to Buzz, even though he's a toy where he's just flying, he's trying to fly his whole adventure, and it's just, don't give up on your dreams. And eventually he does it, and it's got some great lines. Like, I was watching it a few weeks ago when you said that this would be the draft, and I just remember when Woody meets Buzz, this just always made me giggle. He goes. The word that I'm searching for, I can't say, because there's preschool toys present. Like, that's just always funny to me, the toys dropping whenever Andy comes in. It's the start of a great franchise.
I know that there are some people that love all four universally. As someone who thought it tailored off at the third and got a little too cheesy, it's fine, because even number three was still good and four was fine. But, yeah, Toy Story is the universal number one, I think, and I'm glad that it fell all the way to me.
My time to hear debate.
[00:15:41] Speaker A: No, there's no. You're getting no debate from me.
I went a different approach with my draft, so this would not have been my number one pick, but I'm. I'm a little freak like that. I like, this is like. I feel like, I know like golden age Disney animated movies are like things we technically grew up on, but I really feel like Toy Story was like the, like Keystone one for us at a certain point.
[00:16:12] Speaker B: Right.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: You know what I mean? Like, that was the one like, we, like, we like flocked to theaters for.
[00:16:19] Speaker B: Well, it's, it's a difference. Right. Because at the time, yes, it was still Disney associated and like, yeah. John Lasseter and them boys were all former Disney employees working with.
Working with Steve Jobs, rest in peace on Pixar. But it wasn't fully Disney, you know. Yeah. So obviously to us as four year olds, it doesn't actually matter. We still associate with Disney and now it is a Disney movie now that it's Disney Pixar. But I think I respect the pick. But I think it would if I was first overall. I, I don't think with the entire breath of Disney animated films or films in general, not just animated, I don't think it. It wouldn't have been my 1 1. But I respect.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: I. I know, I know. We were like, obviously Superman was the obvious 1:1. The difference with like Disney is like, there's a lot to pick from that is like, things we deem as like, wow, this is like the best. This. You know what I mean?
[00:17:16] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:17:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: But Sam. Yeah.
[00:17:20] Speaker C: Right now, like, it's.
[00:17:21] Speaker A: It's an insane cast.
[00:17:22] Speaker C: Hall of fame cast. It's a perfect cast. Obviously. Tim Allen, Tom Hanks. Don Rickles plays Mr. Potato Head. Estelle Harris, George Costanza's mom.
[00:17:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:29] Speaker C: Is Mrs. Potato Head. I didn't know that Lori Metcalf was Andy's mom. That's a good choice there. And Jim Varney does a great job as Slinky Dog. Like, it's.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
And they do have some like, true voice actors in there. Like you. You can hear like ham like all over the place in Disney movies as well.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:17:49] Speaker C: Wasn't Annie Potts and young Sheldon too. Right.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: Her and I don't do. We don't.
[00:17:54] Speaker C: Wallace, Sean are both rather.
[00:17:57] Speaker A: I don't. Get out of here. Know what? If I had a bad take sound, it'd be playing during Young Sheldon mentioned there. Are you happy? The rules have been broken.
Sam, do you have the number two pick? What do you got?
[00:18:17] Speaker D: Wow, this is tough. Toy Story was my one one, so not me get. Not getting the first pick, but me also not getting the fourth pick means I can't do my bit that I was gonna do. So I'm gonna make a serious pick and go with 2001's Monsters, Inc. Great answer.
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Great answer.
[00:18:37] Speaker A: Another good pick. Can't wait to not get that on mine. But Sam Floor is yours. Talk about Monsters, Inc.
[00:18:45] Speaker D: I mean, something that John brought up at the end of Toy Story is like, the cast on this movie is just ridiculous. John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi is in there.
It's a great story. We love Pixar animated studios, of course.
And although I'm really disappointed that I can't do my bit of just picking all four Toy Story movies or my other bit, which will be revealed later, I think it's just a really solid option. I think there's.
I mean, unless you were going to go really wacky, there's really no way to go wrong with what you think the second best Disney movie is of the last, you know, 40 years or whatever we're looking at. But Monsters, Inc. Absolutely a solid one for me.
Lots of VHS rewatches on that bad boy.
[00:19:35] Speaker A: I was going to say. I remember watching it at home a lot.
Man. It's been a long time since I had watched that movie. I think the last time I technically watched a movie is when I played Kingdom Hearts 3.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: First. Kingdom Hearts. Let's get that out of the way right now. I say Kingdom Hearts as the joke, and.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: And unfortunately, it's me making the Kingdom Hearts reference and not someone who actually enjoys the series who.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: Who was literally wearing a Kingdom Hearts T shirt as we're recording right now.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: But, yeah, it's been a long time since I've watched that movie. I remember really liking it, so I can't be like, oh, what a bad pick.
[00:20:15] Speaker B: I think. I think what's great about these first two picks here from our. From our studs, John and Sam, is that when you go back in time in your. Your head as a kid and you watch these movies, like, these concepts are so creative and so unique that, like, even though you knew it was a movie that you were watching as a little kid, it still felt like, like, oh, yeah, because my toys do talk. Or, oh, yeah, because, like, there might be this world of monsters on the other side. Like, even though you're watching a movie, it was still believable enough as a kid with how they just set up the storyline that you're like, well, yeah, this could be real.
[00:20:52] Speaker A: And I think it's very much the Toy Story thing, is very much so. Something. Like, I'm assuming as kids we all, like, thought or loved, you know, like, oh, what if our toys were alive when we were, like, away and like, and also like for Monsters Inc. Is very much so. Like, yeah, monsters are under the bed and in the closets. Is scary, bro. Like, it's all very much so. Like kid coded. Yeah, I guess it's mine.
[00:21:20] Speaker C: Got some good adult lines in there too. Like it's a good. Yeah, Billy Crystal's perfect.
[00:21:25] Speaker A: Well, like they always everything Disney always does a very good job.
Is a great name.
[00:21:32] Speaker B: That is a great name.
[00:21:34] Speaker A: All right. For my third pick, I'm picking a Judd Apatow movie.
It stars Ben Stiller. Don't know if you've heard of him. Kenan Thompson's also in it.
I'm picking 1995's heavyweights.
[00:21:50] Speaker B: Wow. Coming in hot.
[00:21:52] Speaker A: This, this is my one of like favorite. I, I have a big, my big board. I've watched every single movie on this list in the past two weeks to make sure I felt good. Did not have to watch heavyweights to know I'm picking it first no matter what. I love this movie so much. I'm not a big Ben Stiller head. This is Ben Still. I love every scene Ben Stiller is in.
Attention campers. Lunch has been cancelled. A lack of hustle. Fantastic line. I love it. There's so much to say about this movie.
Disney wanted a family camp movie. They had. They tapped Judd Apatow to make it. This is Judd Apatow around like freaks and geeks.
And so he came back with a rated R cut of this movie. And Disney's like, what the are you doing? We're Disney. So if you. This is the first Blu ray I ever bought. There is so much left on the cutting room floor that is on that Blu ray. There's a scene where literally the camp counselor and the school nurse, like, it's like it's jud. It is a Jud Apow movie. And then he's like, I have to make cuts cuz it's a Disney movie. It's, it's, everything about it is so fascinating to me. There's a scene with the worst ADR you'll ever see in your life. And I love it every single time. Cuz I know what he's supposed to be saying. I, I. If you've never watched it, there is something for you in this movie. I laugh every time.
[00:23:36] Speaker B: I, I have not seen, I've just seen bits and pieces. To be fully honest.
[00:23:41] Speaker A: They're missing out, man.
[00:23:43] Speaker C: It is worth it. It's not a long watch either. Like Apatow's other movies.
I really. And Ben Stiller is fantastic. When he's the heel.
[00:23:53] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:23:54] Speaker C: And you could see a lot of Dwight Goodman.
[00:23:56] Speaker A: Yeah, I wanted to say it, but thank you for mentioning it. Like, in Dodgeball, True Underdog Story, he very much plays a very similar character. There's theories that, like, they wrote the role for Ben Stiller because they liked his as Tony Perkins in Heavyweights. And, like, you can see, because they're very similar. Like, they both. They both used to be like, fat guy fat. And then they lost a ton of weight and got. And they want to motivate people to lose weight and then they, you know, but, like, I. I love this movie so much. There. I. It's. I laugh. There's not a moment where I don't laugh in this movie. I. There is something for you in this movie. And, like, just the history of the movie is so fascinating to me.
[00:24:45] Speaker B: I think it's a. You, you have your own. You have your own organization, your own front office, so you do things your way. I just, you know, I'm picking Jud.
[00:24:55] Speaker A: Apatow and Keon Thompson. I'm picking luminaries in the industry. What are you, Ben Stiller?
[00:25:00] Speaker B: I will, I will say, also say. Trying to say one of Bed Stiller's best performances, and we're not talking about the Secret Life of Walter Mitty is just.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: I've never seen.
That's not a movie.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:25:13] Speaker A: Also, like I said, I'm not a Ben Stiller guy. This, like, this is. This was a movie that would always come on on ABC Family and when I was just channel surfing and I would just leave it on because there's nothing else to watch. And this is before I really enjoyed the movie.
Anyways, Joe, you got the wraparound again.
[00:25:35] Speaker B: This is a. This is a precarious position to be in because obviously I have the pick of the litter right now, back to back. But then I don't know if, say, my third option is going to make it back to me. Right. So.
Oh, it's so difficult. I think. I think I'll go.
[00:25:57] Speaker A: I'll.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: I'll kind of draft in some theming. And so I'll. My first pick will be a.
I would be dishonest to myself if I did not take this first. And if. If Ted did have a Sounder, a boo sounder for this event, for this pod, he would use it here. I have to draft 1994's the Lion King.
[00:26:21] Speaker A: Why would I like boo you?
[00:26:22] Speaker B: Because you'd bring up the Kimba crap and, like, all the other stuff.
[00:26:28] Speaker A: If anything, I'd be like, oh, you like Hamlet, bro? But, like, everyone's done that joke. It's whatever. Like, so, like, it's a great.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: But it's also not even Hamlet because scarred like, he scar does not conspire with Mufasa's wife to kill Mufasa. So it's not the same thing. Like, I understand the Hamlet inspiration, but, like, it's really not the same thing. But whatever. No, the Lion King's been so important in my life. Like, obviously my favorite, one of my favorite Disney movies. Like, seen it a bajillion times on Broadway.
[00:27:03] Speaker A: Also, Joe, I don't know if you know this, but what also has a dead dad?
[00:27:13] Speaker B: Yes, I'm, you know, die.
[00:27:17] Speaker A: That's crazy. Oh.
[00:27:18] Speaker B: Oh, me. Listen, Perez, I didn't bring it up. I didn't bring it up. Perez.
[00:27:22] Speaker C: I didn't bring it up either. Yeah, I would never bring up something like that.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: Well, I'm a little more dark than you. That's the difference.
[00:27:30] Speaker D: Too simple.
[00:27:34] Speaker B: King of the Pride.
[00:27:35] Speaker A: I didn't know that.
I'm glad you got down.
[00:27:39] Speaker B: Yeah. I think this is like the quintessential Disney animated film from the Renaissance era. Like, it's the biggest one. It's the most successful one. It's made a billion dollars twice because it made it the first go round. And then the live action made a billion dollars. And the longest running Broadway, yada yada, made billions on Broadway and. And everything. And I think it's probably one of the most recognizable franchises on the planet. And I love every song. I love every. Every part about the Lion King.
[00:28:08] Speaker A: Think this was like, the first movie I had ever watched. I can't remember, but, like, Disney was very.
Made its presence known in my household. So I feel like, like, this is like, like one of the, like, obvious picks in, like, the first round.
[00:28:29] Speaker B: Yeah, this would be my 1:1. Even if I was going first, I would. I respect Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. I would still draft it over over those two. Does anyone else have any other thoughts online? King before my wheel.
[00:28:43] Speaker D: Great pick.
[00:28:43] Speaker C: Yeah. Good pick. Yeah.
[00:28:46] Speaker B: So I will. I'll continue my theming where I chose a Renaissance era Disney animated movie. And I'll choose my. What I think is the best Pixar film, and that will be 2003's Finding Nemo. I respect Monsters, Inc. I respect Toy Story. I think Finding Nemo for a children's movie specifically. But just as a film in general is as near perfect of a storyline as you can write in a movie, like, I think they should they should teach, like, screenwriting schools and screen, like, learning how to write movies. They should teach Finding Nemo with protagonists and antagonists and, like, the cliche, like, what does he want but what does he need? And what's the McGuffin like? All the quintessential aspects of. Of storytelling in film. Finding Nemo is perfect. The. If you rewatch the movie today when we're done here and just pay attention to how the writers get you from Marlin and Nemo to the start to Marlon Nemo in the end, and how we get from A to B to C to D, like, how every transition is relevant and necessary to get from A to Z. It is a perfectly executed story, and I think to this day, still finding you are the best Pixar movie.
[00:30:02] Speaker C: Yeah, that's a great pick. I think that I. I think that there's no wasted character or scene in the movie either, which is why it flows so well. Like, even when you've got the scene with the sharks, it's quick, it's funny. There's comic relief in there when they meet the tortoises. That. That's great, too. The jellyfish scene, you're right.
[00:30:22] Speaker B: It.
[00:30:23] Speaker C: It is a. It's a very good movie. I think four of these top five picks are all 1:1 worthy.
And I think, like, it's been. Yeah, Finding Nemo's great. Like, that's the. I can't think of any other funny things, you know, any other things that stand out. I love even some of the continuity in there where you go to the dentist office in Sydney. So naturally, all the fish have Australian accents except Brad Garrett's character. Yeah, but it was still. Yeah, no, it's. It's a great movie. And if you don't like the dentist, that movie's not gonna help you either.
[00:30:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And it's like, this is, like, I'll just. For our listeners or for you guys, like, watch the movie and pay attention. Like, the only reason that storyline B happened is because A happened. The only reason that C happened is because they had to do B because they had to do A. Like, it is so perfectly executed. Like, of their physical journey traveling through the water. It's just. Yeah, I can't speak positively enough about Nemo.
[00:31:22] Speaker A: All right, for my second pick, I had debate. I had a sequel to this movie on my board, but I rewatched the first one. I rewatched both to make sure I was correct, and I was not. I was incorrect. I'm once again taking a movie from 1995 I'm taking an animated movie, which will be a surprise, but I'm taking a Goofy movie.
[00:31:47] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:31:49] Speaker D: I.
[00:31:49] Speaker B: Also.
[00:31:50] Speaker D: The sequel might get dropped later. I'll just leave it.
[00:31:53] Speaker A: Hey, I'm not gonna. I'm not complaining.
[00:31:57] Speaker B: I.
[00:31:57] Speaker A: This. I. It's been so long since I've seen this movie, watched it for this, and that movie is moving. Like, it. It doesn't. I. You. You get breaths and moments of, like, very, like, sentimental that, you know, is very quintessential to Disney. But the story is moving. It has great pace. It feels like there's nothing that, like, that should be cut out, that shouldn't be in. Like, it feels great. The songs, obviously. Let's talk about Eye to Eye with Power Line, one of the best dizzy songs you could ever imagine. It's catchy. I love it for Joe. James Marsden plays Max is voiced Max Goofy. If you don't know who that is, he's in, like, 12 episodes of Boy Meets World as Eric's only friend. I heard the voice and knew immediately it was him.
But, like, the animation still looks good in 2025. Like, it's just, like, a great. It's a very solid movie. Someone on letterbox called it Lady Bird for Men, and to that I say, very funny. But Goofy movie comes out before Lady Bird, so you could say a Goofy movie is. Is Lady Bird. Lady Bird is a. Is a Goofy movie for women.
[00:33:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that's.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: That's my pick that. I feel like this is probably the only one where people are like, yeah, that's. That's about a. That's a right pick in this draft from this guy. Because everything else after, it's not gonna.
[00:33:28] Speaker B: It's very Ted. It's very Ted.
[00:33:30] Speaker D: Fitting. Yeah.
[00:33:32] Speaker A: I like.
[00:33:32] Speaker B: It's.
[00:33:33] Speaker A: Just watch it again. And this movie is moving. The moment where, like, that Goofy knows his son is, like, with the route and, like, taking him to places, and he's like, all right, all right, Max, tell me which are we going, left or right? Clearly, Goofy can read the signs of which way is which. And Max, of course, goes, oh, we're going left to California. And you see, like, the, like, hard cut back. And Goofy's, like, seething really mad because he knows this is not the right way. It's great. It's very comedic. Is very. It's like. I want to say it's like an alt Disney animated movie where it's not really like other animated Disney movies.
[00:34:16] Speaker B: My only contribution to this film, which is a funny movie, but is Ted and I once got into a heated conversation over Goofy's anatomy and if he was a dog or a cow. And Ted did not believe me that there is a subset of the online community that believes that Goofy is a cow.
[00:34:37] Speaker A: It's insane. I can't believe it.
[00:34:40] Speaker C: But I've heard of that.
[00:34:41] Speaker B: Doesn't he, like, date a cow in the old, like, in the 50s or whatever? Isn't like, a girl, like, whoever his Pauline is to his Popeye?
[00:34:48] Speaker A: I don't know. It does. It doesn't matter, because this movie canonically proves that Goofy and he's the only one who has in the, like, Disney.
[00:34:58] Speaker C: I think we knew that he's got a son.
[00:35:00] Speaker A: No, no, Mother. Well, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying is, like, he has heard about.
[00:35:05] Speaker C: I've. Yeah, listen. I've heard about these goofing on people that Joe's talking about, and I think that it's just people that have too much time on the Internet. He's clearly a dog. This pick is going to win Mrs. Perez's vote because that's movie. Really good job there.
[00:35:23] Speaker A: Happy to have the mom. Happy to have the mom vote.
[00:35:26] Speaker C: I met my wife, but, yes, my mom loved Toy Stories.
[00:35:31] Speaker A: Damn. I thought. Thought it was the mom. I'm glad Michelle likes it. It's a great movie.
[00:35:37] Speaker B: First of all, we know Mufasa was laying pipe because Simba's there.
[00:35:41] Speaker A: I'm talking about. I'm talking.
[00:35:42] Speaker B: Marlon was all over the place.
[00:35:45] Speaker A: I'm talking about, like, the Daffy Duck, the Mickey Mouses of the world, like.
[00:35:50] Speaker B: The Disney core, the Kingdom Hearts crew.
[00:35:54] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you know, Mufasa's in Kingdom Hearts, bro. Ever heard of it?
Have you played the game? Yeah.
[00:36:02] Speaker B: The Proud Blades.
[00:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
Anyways, Sam, your second pick first.
[00:36:09] Speaker D: Also, a shout out to the Atlanta episode about the making of the Goofy movie, which is one of the episodes.
If you haven't watched it, go find 25 minutes or whatever and throw it down.
[00:36:23] Speaker A: Or just watch all of Atlanta because it's a fantastic TV show.
[00:36:27] Speaker D: Or just simply do that. My second pick is dedicated to Tiny Tim, who did not die. I am picking the Muppet Christmas Carol.
[00:36:39] Speaker A: Oh, my God. That was not even on my radar.
[00:36:42] Speaker B: What a. What a. What a pick. What a pick. It's a.
[00:36:46] Speaker A: Is it Christmas Carol?
[00:36:48] Speaker D: Yeah, Muppet Christmas Carol. Not movie.
[00:36:50] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:36:51] Speaker D: Goodness.
[00:36:52] Speaker A: Oh, man. This is a. Oh. Whoa. You've just, like, stolen the draft from. Oh, my God. This is a great pick.
[00:37:00] Speaker D: Right under you.
[00:37:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:03] Speaker D: Just before we get into all the work from the Muppets themselves. Incredible work here by Michael Caine. Having to play Scrooge and having to play the straight man against an army of Muppets.
The movie itself is great. It's hilarious. It's a well done retelling of a very old and boring story.
Something that kids could relate to. Even as a young Jewish lad such as myself, I was like, wow, Christmas rips ass. I'm gonna go.
And also, just everything that it's sort of spawned, like, all the, you know, single actor against, you know, Muppet movie ideas and plot lines and stuff like that. None of that happens without this gem from 1992. So that is my pick at number two, that.
[00:37:55] Speaker A: Oh, man, this is. I, like, blanked. It's a Disney movie because it's. Oh, man, this is. This is like the opening scene on.
[00:38:05] Speaker D: YouTube to make sure it had the Disney on the list of, like, Walt Disney productions. And I was like, I don't. Is this actually a discount as a Disney movie? And it's in there. So.
[00:38:16] Speaker A: Man, this is great. I have no notes. Great pick. This is obviously, like, this is what we watch during Christmas. My sister loves. She loves the Muppets, but she loves this movie for, you know, Michael Kane to be, like, acting against, like, puppets. The whole movie is so phenomenal. Like, it's just such like a job from him, you know, like, it's just everything about it is great.
[00:38:39] Speaker B: Yeah. One of the most serious actors ever.
[00:38:41] Speaker D: With a background, but he finds a way to do it.
[00:38:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:45] Speaker B: Great pick. Great pick.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: John, we're back to you two picks. Back to back.
[00:38:52] Speaker C: Yeah, this is going to be a more recent movie. I think it's got the potential to be similar to Toy Story in a franchise. Both movies have been fantastic, but I'm gonna go with 2015's Inside Out.
[00:39:09] Speaker A: Oh, wait, I think I know it. We'll it. Whatever.
[00:39:12] Speaker C: That's a Pixar movie. It's eligible and I'm picking it.
[00:39:15] Speaker A: I thought I had said both pre 2010, but actually, I don't care about that.
[00:39:18] Speaker C: Oh, is it pre2010? All right, then.
[00:39:20] Speaker A: No, no, no, it's fine. It's fine, it's fine. I'm. You're keeping it. I'm. I'm saying Nick's what I had. Yeah, I suck.
[00:39:27] Speaker C: Okay, all right.
[00:39:29] Speaker A: I'm saying I can. I'm saying people can change.
[00:39:32] Speaker C: Okay, I'm glad.
Great cast. Great cast. As with most Pixar films, I mean, they really don't miss on casting. That's credit to that.
[00:39:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:39:44] Speaker C: I think it's really interesting, the trajectory of Pixar movies and how they've just had different beings have emotions now. What would happen if emotions had emotions?
And that's what that was. It's the closest I came to crying to, like, one of Disney's newer movies.
Joy, played by Amy Poehler, is fantastic. It takes you for a ride. No wasted scenes. And I think we all relate to Riley, the character in Just A Simple Struggle. And it's a good story there and they've got some good jokes in there. Bill Hader's phenomenal and everything that he does. The triple dent gum jingle is still very funny and it's just like a callback to annoying earworms. So that's pretty cool. So, yeah, I'm going with Inside out for that pick.
[00:40:29] Speaker A: This is a great pick. I got no notes. I. This is like. This is where, like, I have a. Like, for a while I was like, man, Pixar just doesn't have it anymore. They do it. Like, I'm not. I went after, like, Toy Story. They were doing, like, sequels and everything. Like, nothing new. And I was like, I want, like, new ideas with, like, a different, you know. And then Inside out comes and I'm like, wow, they, like, they're back.
I closed the it's so over folder. It opened the word so back folder. Like, I was just. I was like, back on the Pixar train.
[00:41:05] Speaker B: Poor, poor one. Out for Bing Bong. Because I did actually cry while watching the movie during. Yeah, Bing Bong's, you know, selfless act. Amazing. And that's another thing, like, Toy Story and, like, Monsters, Inc. Like, with Bing Bong specifically is like, yeah, we all did believe that he was real, right? We all did.
[00:41:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:41:25] Speaker B: Believe the imaginary friend.
[00:41:26] Speaker C: Yeah. I think it's just. It's incredible. We all had that version. We could all relate to that movie. It was great. They did a really good job. I don't know if that has put Pixar fully back, but it's certainly, to me, grave.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: To me. Yes, to me. I was just like, they had been things that were, in my opinion, Mrs. Or, like, things I didn't really care for. And I was like, I don't know if I wanted to see Inside Out. And then I was glad I did because I was just like, wow, they really knocked it out.
[00:41:55] Speaker C: I get it, though, because, I mean, how many. And I want to tip picks, but how many sequels are out there?
[00:42:00] Speaker A: No, exactly.
[00:42:01] Speaker C: You know, and it's just like, all right, we're just keeping the same rotating.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: Also. Also for me it was like this was like the Cars era for Pixar and they were real. Like we have like four Cars movies. We were doing planes. Like, I was just like, I don't need this stuff.
[00:42:19] Speaker D: Right.
[00:42:20] Speaker A: But John.
[00:42:21] Speaker C: No, I agree.
[00:42:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Wraparound to you.
[00:42:24] Speaker C: Wraparound. The next one is eligible for the original rules. It's 2009. Up opening montage of the movie. Finding out that there's an adventure at any age is great.
The kid's adorable.
I think what's really funny about it is like the. It's just these two hodgepodge characters. The two mismatch. The odd couple that just gets together and hilarity ensues. But again, no wasted scene. And I like that they get the sad part out of the way right away so that even when there's sad parts at the end of the movie, you're like, yeah, well, I mean, nothing compares to his wife dying and him being heartbroken from that. But yeah, I think that's, that's a great piece to it. And then one interesting thing is the villain Charles Muntz was named after Walt Disney's first employer took his early cartoons. So, like, just a great little callback there. And that the Disney company has not forgotten about the dastardly deeds of Charles Muntz.
[00:43:27] Speaker D: It's important to hold grudges.
[00:43:29] Speaker A: Yes, yes.
[00:43:30] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:43:31] Speaker B: Even in the freezer.
[00:43:32] Speaker A: I said my piece about this movie last week, I believe, or last episode. So I'm not going to. It's a great pick. And you know what? In the third round, I'm going to say that's probably where it should be.
[00:43:44] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:43:45] Speaker B: Up. Up is one of the few animated feature films that has been nominated for best picture at the Oscars. So the, the people would agree. That is a very good movie, I think. Was it Doug the dog? I forget what the.
[00:44:00] Speaker A: Doug. It's Doug, Yes.
[00:44:02] Speaker B: He's every. He's like everyone who's ever owned a dog before is like, yep, that's just how it's squirrel. Like, you know, like it's. It is a fun movie. It does get overshadowed by how phenomenal the, the, you know, the Jeremy Lynn esque intro is to. To the movie compared to the rest of the film. But the rest of the film is still solid nonetheless.
[00:44:24] Speaker D: Saying the first 15 minutes of up is the Lynn sanity run, essentially.
[00:44:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that's a very fair, very fair. And Carmelo Anthony just had none of it. He did not enjoy up whatsoever.
[00:44:37] Speaker C: Carmelo Anthony was the cancer that Killed the guy's wife.
[00:44:42] Speaker A: No, I believe. I believe the cancer that kills the guy's wife is the prospect that it was a shortened NBA season.
Because once you get out of that, the insanity. You see the cracks in linsanity.
[00:44:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:57] Speaker A: All right, Sam.
[00:45:00] Speaker D: All right. A movie that I am very surprised made it to round three. I'm gonna stick with 1992 and go with Aladdin.
[00:45:09] Speaker A: Aladdin.
[00:45:11] Speaker B: Great. Great pick. You sure you're not taking the remake?
I just want to make sure we're talking about the same movie.
[00:45:18] Speaker D: He said 1992. Yeah, he said right in the. The remake. Just to try to tank my draft here.
[00:45:27] Speaker A: Go. I'll say your piece. And then I up the one thing I want to say about it.
[00:45:33] Speaker D: Honest. Like, people talk about, yeah, the story's great. The songs are great. Robin Williams, incredible. MVP for me personally is Gilbert Godfrey.
Just really an impeccable voiceover performance. And I don't know if anyone else could have pulled it off. Besides, someone with his specific voice really pulls that whole character together. And first scene also, just as a kid, really scared me, the guy getting eaten up by the giant sand monster. But, I mean, I don't really know how much there is left to say about 1992's Aladdin. So I'll let you guys.
[00:46:11] Speaker A: I mean, this is a goaded Robin Williams, like, performance. Like, he is, like, capital VA voice acting in this.
One of my favorite tick tocks. I'm tipping my hand for a future draft idea, but one of my favorite tick tocks is this guy going, hey, guys, today we're gonna be talking about a liberal propaganda movie about a gay, illegal Muslim called Aladdin. One of my favorite.
That's why I said Aladdin when it got picked.
But yeah, it's so funny every time this gets referenced, because I feel like a lot of the times it gets referenced, it's like the dumb character in the TV shows, like, when they get betrayed, they say Iago. And the smart person's like, oh, my God, you know, like Shakespeare. And they're like, no, I'm talking about Aladdin.
[00:47:03] Speaker B: I would say, I don't know. I don't know where you can see this documentary, but there's a documentary on this guy named Howard Ashman. I don't know if you guys are familiar or not, but he is the composer. That and lyricists that worked with Alan Menken on all these classic Disney movies right from, like, that. You think of that Renaissance era, like, they made A Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. And, like, Just that whole run that Alan Menken was on. Howard Ashton worked with him, and they had this documentary about his life, and it was one of the best documentaries I had ever seen. He worked. So he worked for Disney, but he was gay in the 80s and he was dying of AIDS. And, like, back in the 80s, you know, that was a whole. Whole different conversation. So he had to. He had to hide his identity. He had to hide his. His sickness, his. His illness he's going through. While they were making Little Mermaid, while they're making me in the Beast, like, he was. There's, like. There's stuff of him. Like, with Aladdin tying in, he's, like, in the hospital on the phone with the producers of, like, this is how this song should sound. Like, saying stuff on his actual deathbed. Like, that is how invested he was in these storylines to, you know, for their success. And, like, it's a very touching documentary. And, like, the reason that Aladdin is so above and those. And those lyrics and those songs are so phenomenal or, like, in very large part because of Howard Ashman and, you know, how big, how. How influential he was. And, like, imagine being in that timeline, right? Having to hide your identity, hiding your sickness. Like, people thought you just kept calling out of work because you were afraid to acknowledge the truth and get fired or whatever in the 80s for being gay or having AIDS like it was. It's. I always think, now that I've seen that, I think, like, I have even more respect for that era of that big. That. That big three run of Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin that they went on.
[00:48:58] Speaker D: Yeah, that's crazy. I thought the parrot was funny.
[00:49:05] Speaker A: All right, pick three.
[00:49:07] Speaker C: You know, the parrot was also played by the guy that did the voice for the gray. The gray character in Fairly Odd Parents. Remember when they all went gray and one was a dentist?
[00:49:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:49:18] Speaker C: Played the same guy.
[00:49:19] Speaker A: That's crazy. Did you know Amy Poehler was in Saturday Night Live, the Range?
For my third pick, I'm going to 2003. I'm going back to live action because two suits, two tokens in hand, I got no respect because I'm the new man. I'm going holes.
[00:49:36] Speaker D: Oh, nice.
[00:49:37] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
[00:49:40] Speaker A: I. I was watching. I was. As I was watching holes, I unironically said to myself, man, I'm digging holes, and took a beat and said. Because I realized that in the pun I had made by accident, this is one of the better adaptations I'd seen, like, rivaling maybe Charles and the Chocolate Factory. It's not because Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is fantastic, but like I like had such a fun time watching this movie. The adults in this movie are. Every adult is bizarre. They're like a weird adult. So Gorney Weaver's weird.
Jon Voight, weird guy.
Zinc. What's his name?
[00:50:27] Speaker C: I think John Voight's a normal person.
[00:50:31] Speaker A: But no, they're all like just like weird adults in this movie about kids. The. The flashbacks with Patricia Arquette and and Gus from Psych are terribly dark and racist. It's. And sexist. It's like so off for like a. A Disney movie. I feel like I, I know there are some racist undertones in other. But like this one's like. No, we're like they're wearing it on their face for some of the scenes. It's like it's also a Disney movie where like it's showing guns killing people.
You know what I mean? Like it's very like off brand and I'm saying I got some little hidden synergy between holes and Goofy Movie zero played by Cleo Thomas dressed up as Power Line to from Goofy Movie and then won a Mortal Kombat tournament.
It's just like. Yeah, it's just like this movie is like.
It's a fun. It's there. Yeah. It's got gay undertones, but it's fun. Like I didn't realize how like there's a scene where like at the end where I'm watching, I said did these two in the book. What am I missing?
Because it's weird, it's wild.
[00:51:54] Speaker C: I think. I think you hit on a few big points there. Number one, I 100 agree with you that the film is very close to the book. With the exception of not putting Shia LaBeouf in a fat cop.
[00:52:05] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:52:05] Speaker A: No, I 100 heavyset.
[00:52:08] Speaker C: But I get it. You probably only have four weeks film it or however you're not going to do that. Especially in 100 degree weather.
[00:52:14] Speaker A: And also fine. And also like you're not going to recast Shia LaBeouf because after this is like even Steven Shia LaBeouf. He's like Disney's kid at that point.
[00:52:23] Speaker C: No, no, right, of course. No, that was good. I actually, I applaud Disney for having racial and gay undertones. Like just throwing it out there because that's how I learned about it. You know, you only.
[00:52:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:34] Speaker C: At least how I. How I grew up was you learned about slavery and civil rights and everything through books and you never really got to experience. So in a book it seems like it's Fantasy, but it just hits different, even if it's in a fiction movie. So to see that, like, was really jarring. Perfectly cast, like you said. Dulay Hill August.
[00:52:53] Speaker A: That's the name.
[00:52:54] Speaker C: Henry Winkler. Henry Winkler.
[00:52:56] Speaker A: That's the name I was also looking for.
[00:52:58] Speaker C: Yeah, the Fonz. And then how about this Laker Great. Rick Fox.
[00:53:01] Speaker A: Rick Fox as a baseball player. I did want to mention that.
[00:53:04] Speaker C: Baseball player.
[00:53:05] Speaker A: Yeah, he's a baseball player. He's the one who the zero steals the shoes.
And he's. Yeah. And then he comes around going, oh, you didn't. You know, it was all a misunderstanding.
Let me endorse your dad's foot odor product.
Yeah, but no, that.
[00:53:24] Speaker C: That's a very good. This is a very underrated pick. Like, I. I really like this pick.
[00:53:28] Speaker A: I didn't. I. I was not expecting people to like this pick.
It's a great book.
[00:53:34] Speaker C: I read.
[00:53:34] Speaker A: Same, same.
[00:53:36] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:53:36] Speaker A: I want to say what if you watch this movie just because of this podcast. Watch when, like, 0x Ray and like, caveman speak at when it finally is raining in camp, because you're gonna watch that scene and your immediate response is, oh, they. Because, like, that's. It's. What happened.
Did you. They're making a remake of this or they're doing a new version of Facebook.
[00:54:01] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:54:02] Speaker A: A TV series that is going to be, like, gender swapped, which. I don't know. See how you can do it when the whole point of the book is about how, like, be like is about how, like, you're a man. You got to be masculine. So I don't really know how they're gonna do it, but, you know, it is what it is. You know, this came out in 2003. I have a lot of Roger Ebert, because he's the goat reviewer. Got a lot of quotes from him. Littered in my notes about this movie. He said, in a time when mainstream action is rigidly contained within formulas, maybe there's more freedom to be found in a young people's adventure.
[00:54:39] Speaker C: It's 100, right.
And that's a little bit of a precursor to even some John Green books. John Green, very original young adult novelist.
I'm trying to think of other movies that came out Looking for Alaska was great.
Alton. Our stars, like, there's just creative freedoms where it's. It's clear that he wasn't taking from other stories. And that's the same thing with holes. This was an original story. They do some good job. They do a good job developing characters and a good backstory. And it's Just a good one off. I hate when they do, you know.
[00:55:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:15] Speaker C: Remakes of it. I'm not a big fan of Bel Air, even though they turned it into a serious. Like if Bel Air. Like, if it wasn't Will Smith and it was Will Johnson or something like that, then that show is good on its own. But to compare it to the original is not going to be great. And that's why I'm not holding out hope for this remake either.
[00:55:33] Speaker A: Yeah. All right, Joe, your wraparound picks.
[00:55:38] Speaker B: All right. Maybe consistent where I'm choosing one of each type of category. So first, Lion King was a Disney animated. My favorite Disney animated feature. Finding Nemo would be my favorite Pixar movie. And then I think.
I think one of the most influential movies that Disney has ever made, and I don't know if any of our listeners or many of you have watched it because it's very old, is 1940s Fantasia.
Who don't not see in Fantasia. It arguably is one of the most influential films of the early era of movie making when it comes to music and sound design and just influencing how people started to understand what you can accomplish with sound in film. Now, yes, there were talkies and things. People were talking in movies for like 15 years at this point. But the whole premise of Fantasia is just. Just like an hour and a half orchestra essentially, of this, like the orchestra leader, like, playing different scenarios with music. And then the music is tied to the visuals. And it's a thing that we take for granted now. But at the time, it was absolutely monumental. This is where the Sorcerer's Apprentice comes from. And, you know, that iconic, you know, imagery of. Of Disney, or, excuse me, of Mickey as. As the wizard and everything with the brooms.
I think if you. As a kid, I did like it, which most kids don't like this because there's no action, it's just music, there's no talking. But I was just, like, completely blown away by this. I remember I took a college class also on audio design and film, and we watched it again in there. And it's just like watching as an adult now. Like, I think, yeah, I have way more appreciation, I imagine, if I was an adult in the 1940s. And like, seeing, like, this is the power of filmmaking and this is what you can accomplish with audio and visuals matching together in movies. Like, I love Fantasia.
[00:57:46] Speaker D: Be honest. I watched this as a kid and I thought there was something wrong with the tape because no one was talking the whole time.
Pointing to my parents, like, you got like, there's something wrong here. Like, we need another copy. And they were like, no, you're just very dull.
Fantasia as an adult. But, Joe, your pitch for the movie has actually made me want to revisit it with fresh eyes. So I don't know if it's not a pick that I personally would have made, but I admire your.
Your selection there.
[00:58:20] Speaker A: I want to say, like, to Joe's point about, like, how, like, sound design and all this, filmmakers will, like, I'm gonna talk about this in an upcoming video whenever I get around to finishing the script, because I. I got triggered. But, like, the moment it's more important to have better sound than it is to have better visuals because your eyes will forgive poor, like, quality. Your, like, ears cannot forgive, like, bad sound. And, like, Fantasia is, like, the proof of, like, that. Like, it's, like, it's so critically important to have things like sound correct. And this also, like, I maybe had planted the seeds or, like, maybe, like, subconsciously I had learned to, like, as an editor. Like, yeah, I should be matching my cuts to the music to the beats of, like, what's happening around it, not just, like, making inadvertent cuts whenever it. It happens. You know what I mean? Like, to make a conscious effort to think about when and why I'm cutting, rather than just, like, oh, well, the guy's done talking, so I gotta, like, cut to a new thing.
[00:59:30] Speaker B: The one cliche thing that people, like, say, like, it's a. Like, with a lot of, like, pot movies or whatever. It's like a different type. Like, I've never done a drug in my life, so I have no idea what you're supposed to do. But they say, like, if you were. If you were to watch this under the influence, the way that you watch other pop movies, it also. It also enhances it even more because your brain is like, whoa. And, like, concepts of, like, close your eyes and play a music note. What does. What color does this sound sound like? You know what I mean? Like, you'll see, like, it'll play a music note. And this note sounds red or sounds green, but your brain doesn't make any.
[01:00:11] Speaker A: Sense, but it does, you know, synesthesia and all that. Yeah.
[01:00:17] Speaker B: Also, the Back to Kingdom Hearts, the. The big villain, like, the big demon gargoyle guy.
[01:00:22] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It shows up, and he's, like, the Keyblade teacher. Whatever, bro. Get over it.
[01:00:28] Speaker B: No, no, no. Not. Not. Yensated from Source Apprentice. The big, like, evil demon.
[01:00:34] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you said Sorcerer's Apprentice. And yet, to show he's from the other ones, bro. Get over yourself.
[01:00:40] Speaker B: He's from this. And, like, watch that scene. If you were to watch that scene high, I would imagine. Or even the dinosaur scene from, like, if you were to watch that under the influence, like, you would be terrified. You're like, oh, my God, this is real. It's happening right in front of me.
[01:00:57] Speaker A: All right, Joe, fourth pick, next.
[01:01:02] Speaker B: Now we have different category, so I'm gonna go. The best liveaction Disney film, and it is a live action. There is quite a lot of animation going on in this one, but I'm rocking Mary Poppins from 1964. This is the kind of life's work culmination of Walt Disney to try to get this movie made. If you haven't seen the Disney movie they made about trying to get the rights from the lady, it's a phenomenal movie.
[01:01:37] Speaker A: Tom Hanks.
[01:01:39] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, the one with Tom Hanks. Yeah.
[01:01:40] Speaker A: Okay, okay.
[01:01:41] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. It's on Disney Plus. If anyone has Disney plus, you can watch it. It's actually a really good movie on its own. Now, you do need the context of knowing what Mary Poppins is, obviously, but who doesn't know what Mary Poppins is? Another very influential movie blending live action and animation together.
Some of the most iconic songs of all time. And, like, this is, like, Walt Disney's, like, widely said, besides creating the parks, like, in the movie world, the Mary Poppins is his magnum opus. Like, that was the thing that he wanted to do. He wanted to get the rights from her for, like, 17 years or whatever. He tried so hard to finally get it because he made a promise to his daughters when they were young reading the Mary Poppins books that he would make a movie, and they turned into one of the most beloved, you know, live action movies of all time.
[01:02:30] Speaker A: So I got nothing to say about Mary Poppins.
It's not for me.
I guess it's not for anyone.
[01:02:38] Speaker C: Yeah, she ages really well, too, in the movie, which is good.
[01:02:43] Speaker A: You're thinking of the wrong one.
[01:02:48] Speaker B: We're not Julie Andrews fans. I got it, I got it.
[01:02:51] Speaker A: I'm going, I'm going. It's. It's the new millennium, and Disney just came out with a new animated movie, and it's a flop, bro. Ever heard of the Emperor's New Groove?
[01:03:04] Speaker B: This is the most Ted movie of all time.
[01:03:06] Speaker A: Oh, dude, I love this movie, bro. All right. This is like, it is such a not Disney movie. I like, you can watch this movie and be like, I can't believe this is a Disney movie. It's not a musical. Was supposed to be a musical. Got scrapped because of it.
Because the music was. Nothing about this movie was working. They sunk so much money into this movie. It's just a commercial flop. But like, I remember going to school after it came out and all of my friends were loving it and I was loving it. It's one of my favorite Disney animated movies. It is more Looney Tunes than Disney and I think that's why I really like it.
[01:03:52] Speaker B: That's great.
[01:03:53] Speaker C: No, that's a great point. Yeah. No, and like you said, unlike most Disney films, like, it skips a love story. So.
[01:03:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:04:00] Speaker C: You don't have to get tied down with that. That's.
[01:04:02] Speaker A: I want to say this is John to your. Remember you had mentioned they cast very well for voice actors. They cast everyone like perfectly to a T for this movie.
[01:04:15] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I, I agree. I. I think it's pretty cool to see some Peruvian culture in there as well.
So that's cool.
What else was in that? I'm trying to think. I haven't seen it in a while.
[01:04:26] Speaker A: Yeah, one of my fit, like fast paced.
[01:04:28] Speaker C: It's very quotable. Like, pull the lever. Wrong lever.
[01:04:33] Speaker A: Are we about. Are we about to go over a huge waterfall?
Like it's. Bring it on. Like what? Like a lot. And like when I like it, it's so looney tuned because there is a mo. It's during the big chase at the end, not the, the chase from Pacha's house to the lab.
You, you know, you see the dotted lines on the map to show where they're going. Allah. Indiana Jones style. And then like they in re. You know, in real life. In the real. In them for real life, they look down behind them and they see the dotted lines being made on like the path they're running. But there's a point where like Yzma and Crunk get struck by lightning and fall down a cliff. So Pacha and Kuzco make it to the lab first, but then the Isma and Kronk are there somehow they ask, how did. How did you guys beat us here? And Isma's confused and goes, how did we beat them here? And Crunk pulls out the map and says, you know, by all accounts, it just makes no sense. Which is like a moment like that is so like cartoon. But for them to acknowledge it and then b. Make a joke about it is so like, it's just such a present moment in the script for it to happen.
[01:05:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I got. No, no, I think it's a Very fun, very underrated movie. Doesn't get talked about enough.
[01:06:01] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, like I said, it's a. It was a flop, but like, man, it's just. It's a fun.
It's just like a fun movie. I'm not getting, like, there's no like, sad emotion to it. Like, you know, you see Cusco sad, but like, you know, it's deserved. It's like he earned. Like he earns to be sad so you don't have to, like, you know, be empathetic to that. But like, it's still like, like it's just like a movie that is moving. It's the fast paced, like I said, zany and cartoony. And hey, Roger Ebert agrees with me that it is a more cartoon and zany style of animation that is timeless and will always work.
That is his quote.
[01:06:43] Speaker B: There you go.
[01:06:45] Speaker A: All right, Sam.
[01:06:48] Speaker D: All right.
I'm gonna go with a movie also from 1992, so this is going to be three straight 92 picks for me.
It's a movie that also spawned some great sequels that I wouldn't be surprised to get drafted later. It's a movie that is all about how drunk driving can turn around the life of children. I am, of course, talking about the Mighty Ducks.
[01:07:13] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, my friend. I. I showed my big board to my friends and one of them was like, why isn't Mighty Ducks on it? I'm like, that's not for me, but I'm glad to see it. Well, you know what?
[01:07:26] Speaker D: It is for me as someone who enjoyed watching sports and still does. In fact, this was a movie about overcoming the odds and teamwork and friendship and odd hockey strategic decisions and formations. And it was really everything that I could ask for as a kid growing up in the 90s as a tax.
[01:07:51] Speaker C: Paying American, I felt more patriotic when the US Team won than when Rocky beat Ivan Drago.
[01:08:01] Speaker D: John, feel free to take this one if you want, but that would. That was actually D2.
[01:08:05] Speaker C: Yeah, no, right, I know, I know that.
Yes. No, the original's fantastic. I'm just talking about why associated that movie. But yes, no, you're right. The original one's great. And it's a good franchise too. Great cast. I think a lot of those guys cross over into heavyweights.
[01:08:21] Speaker A: Yes. I was gonna say Kenan Thompson and the guy who plays Josh Are.
Are in Mighty Ducks was Josh Goldberg.
[01:08:32] Speaker C: The goalie tells him to get off the scale. Like, oh, get on the scale?
[01:08:37] Speaker A: Yes, yes. Get off the scale. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love another great line from heavyweights. It's so funny. Like, I'm sorry, I'm. I love the movie but John just brought up a great scene.
[01:08:50] Speaker C: Oh my Ducks. That's a great pick at this spot. I like it.
[01:08:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:08:54] Speaker D: And also just like some iconic like new sports like characters coming out of this.
Charlie Conway, Adam Banks, you know, sort of the. I don't know, I lost my voice in the middle of talking about Mighty Ducks.
[01:09:08] Speaker C: But.
[01:09:10] Speaker D: You know, there's. I think you could draw a lot of parallels between like movies like Mighty Ducks taking off and like backyard baseball series coming out later in the decade, which is also very important to me.
[01:09:22] Speaker B: Well, yeah, I think. How many movies on this list have inspired sports teams? Aladdin didn't make a sports team. You know, correct.
[01:09:33] Speaker D: Muppets Christmas Carol did.
[01:09:34] Speaker B: But that's for another, another conversation.
[01:09:39] Speaker A: I'm like, I don't think I've ever seen Mighty Duck. So I have like no thoughts.
Oh, you gotta see it. All right.
Just like how I watched the town after the first draft. I will watch the Mighty Duck.
[01:09:53] Speaker B: Nice.
[01:09:55] Speaker A: All right, John, back to you.
[01:09:59] Speaker C: Yeah. As you guys could see, I'm just sticking with Pixar because I think Pixar is the best thing to happen at Disney over the last 30 years and just enhance it. I mean talk about a big free agent signing. Pixar being added to, excuse me, to.
[01:10:14] Speaker A: Disney has been great.
[01:10:18] Speaker C: Toy Story being huge.
I am gonna go with let's see, do I want to win the draft now or.
[01:10:29] Speaker B: Later?
[01:10:30] Speaker A: Now or later.
[01:10:31] Speaker D: If you want it.
[01:10:33] Speaker C: Say that again.
[01:10:34] Speaker D: Said D2 is still on the board.
[01:10:36] Speaker B: If you want it.
[01:10:38] Speaker C: I love D2. I'm going to pass. I'm going with The Bug's Life 1998.
[01:10:42] Speaker A: That's an interesting princess out of Hopper.
[01:10:45] Speaker C: A terrible video game, but a great movie.
It just captures everything and it just it. This is where Pixar starts to show that inanimate objects or other non human beings can have emotions, plot line stories. At least that's like my first viewing of it. It's got some good, it's got a good cast, it's a lot of fun.
The villain actually felt villainous in the movie and yeah, it's, it's just a well put movie. No wasted scenes in it.
[01:11:20] Speaker A: Man. It's been. I don't think I've seen it since it came out in theater. So I have it's head empty moment for me.
[01:11:27] Speaker D: I was a real ants head. So this is a really tough pick for me to deal with, but strong selection.
[01:11:32] Speaker A: I was also an ant's head. Anthad, starring the recently deceased and the most bizarre death of all time, Gene Hackman.
Only I only know that off the top, off the dome is because we did MM Movie Club. We did a Gene Hackman poll for which movie we were gonna watch, and Ants was not represented on it.
[01:11:52] Speaker D: I thought you were gonna say Ants one. I was like, wow, what is that.
[01:11:59] Speaker A: In. In the text chain? It was a lot of no ants. And I said, I can't believe Royal Tenenbaums isn't on this list.
And then I did watch another Gene Hackman movie. I watched the Replacements, and that's a movie about the bad guys winning.
[01:12:16] Speaker D: That's a movie about how scabs are actually good.
[01:12:20] Speaker A: Yes. I watched it, like, a couple years ago, and I'm like, this was. Keanu Reeves is the bad guy.
[01:12:26] Speaker B: Don't worry.
[01:12:27] Speaker C: We're very pro owners here.
[01:12:29] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm saying. What do you. What I'm saying? I'm saying the scabs are the bad guys.
[01:12:35] Speaker B: I think there's a core. There's clearly a correlation between being an ant sky and these Marxist views about the replacement. There's clearly.
[01:12:47] Speaker A: This is all Gene Hackman's fault, really. When you come back, meanwhile, I'm over.
[01:12:51] Speaker B: Here with the fat caterpillar where he gets his wings. He's at the air. He's a beautiful butterfly. Like, it's. It's great.
[01:12:58] Speaker A: Oh, I do remember that. I do remember that plot point.
[01:13:02] Speaker B: Now, I will say, as I'm looking it up, I believe Pixar has made either 27 or 28 movies in total in their history. I'm not sure if Bug's Life cracks the top 15 from being completely honest.
[01:13:19] Speaker A: We don't do how things are being listed. We don't do.
Like that.
That we're all. We all pick. True to ourselves. That's the whole point of your book.
[01:13:29] Speaker B: To try to listen when Sam's brother fills out the sheet and says, bug's Life. Really? You'll have my back.
[01:13:38] Speaker A: Sam's brother is gonna be like, Monsters, Inc. Really? Parentheses 1.
[01:13:42] Speaker B: Where's Monsters University? Come on.
[01:13:44] Speaker A: All right, John, second to last pick.
[01:13:48] Speaker C: Yeah. For my final pick. And this is clearly just.
[01:13:50] Speaker A: This is not your. Fine. This is not your final pick. This is not your.
It's round five.
[01:13:56] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:13:56] Speaker B: The first row is your name.
[01:13:58] Speaker A: Remember when I said second to last pick?
[01:14:01] Speaker C: Yes. Yes. All right, well, I'm going to win it now, and I'm going to win over the female vote. I'm going with Frozen Frozen's got memorable. Catchy songs, sisterly bonds, big messages, lovable characters, Olaf, Sven.
The animation's really good. It's not Pixar. So I. I'm breaking my rule a little bit. But Frozen is the one movie that I could break the rule for. I mean, everybody loves you. Want to build a snowman?
[01:14:29] Speaker A: You know, it sounds like you're not convinced. You're just trying to win, but you sound like you're.
There is a better. There's a better female audience pick than Frozen, and I'm gonna take it.
[01:14:44] Speaker D: It's coming up next. Get ready.
[01:14:45] Speaker A: All right.
[01:14:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:14:46] Speaker A: Extreme goofy movie, was it?
[01:14:50] Speaker B: Frozen's phenomenal. Everybody that hates on Frozen are just haters.
[01:14:53] Speaker A: I'm a hater. And I'm a hater. I'm a hater.
[01:14:57] Speaker B: You're a certified hater.
[01:14:59] Speaker A: It's so. It's just fine. It's a fine movie.
[01:15:04] Speaker B: It is a phenomenal movie.
[01:15:06] Speaker D: I don't really have a strong take here because I have not seen Frozen. But my biggest interaction with it is that the characters are very commonly crossword puzzle clues that I'm interacting with. I know, like who Josh Gad plays in four letters. And I'm like, was he Sven? Was he Olaf? Like, that's like mostly how I know all the characters and their roles from Frozen. So it seems like an interesting movie for cold weather enthusiasts.
[01:15:34] Speaker B: It is. It's a phenomenal movie.
[01:15:36] Speaker A: Such an aggressively movie.
[01:15:39] Speaker B: Oh, my God. You're. You're just such a hater, bro.
[01:15:42] Speaker A: I'm not a hater. I just recognize regular when I see it, bro.
[01:15:48] Speaker B: They twisted true love on its head. They've told you what true love was in movies for a hundred years and then they changed it up on you. It's a great movie.
[01:15:58] Speaker A: If you didn't see it coming, then I think that's just more egg on your face.
[01:16:02] Speaker B: Oh my God.
[01:16:03] Speaker A: You.
[01:16:04] Speaker B: What if Luffy likes Frozen? Huh?
[01:16:07] Speaker A: Then he likes Frozen, bro.
[01:16:09] Speaker B: You would defend it. You defend it.
[01:16:10] Speaker A: No, no, I wouldn't.
No, he would. I wouldn't. I would just say that's his choice. That's. But he's not my guy in one piece anyway. Sam. Second to last pick.
[01:16:26] Speaker D: Second to last pick and one. I'm surprised made it this far given this group. Or maybe I shouldn't be. But.
2000s. Remember the Titans Starring Denzel Washington.
[01:16:40] Speaker B: Great.
[01:16:40] Speaker A: So this is a great movie, I believe.
Isn't. That's Ryan Gosling.
He's a cornerback.
[01:16:57] Speaker C: Who. Yeah. Avon Barksdale.
Famous too.
[01:17:01] Speaker B: He was known as the Head coach, whoever that guy was. Yeah.
[01:17:05] Speaker A: He's in some movie about a train. Right. It can't stop.
[01:17:08] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:17:09] Speaker B: And then.
[01:17:09] Speaker C: And then a plane that crashes.
[01:17:11] Speaker A: Yeah. And then he's the train that couldn't slow down. Yeah.
[01:17:15] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:17:20] Speaker D: It's a great movie.
I, you know, me personally, I would not run a reverse from my own 20 yard line as the last player, but, you know, it works. So no criticism here, but, you know, better play calling than Pete Carroll. But I think it's, you know, it's a remarkably well told story. I was surprised to remember that this was a Disney movie. And also these soundtrack is absolutely better than Frozen or even Aladdin or whatever other music.
[01:17:55] Speaker A: Get their ass.
[01:17:57] Speaker D: I'm gonna.
[01:17:58] Speaker C: I. You know what?
[01:17:58] Speaker D: I got my own ass there, Ted.
[01:18:00] Speaker A: But equal opportunity hater.
[01:18:04] Speaker D: Even if you don't watch the movie, just like throw on the soundtrack next time you go on a leisurely stroll, as I often do, which I. When I was getting ready for this. And also NBC Connection, our rollout at the end of the Olympics every year uses music from Remember the Titans. So not the like Temptations or anything like that, but the original score. So it has a sentimental place in my heart because it means it's time to go home.
[01:18:34] Speaker A: This was the go to movie to put on when it was like raining outside and you couldn't like go outside for lunch or like anything. And the teachers, like, didn't want us to like, be causing a ruckus. They'd turn off the lights and be like, here's remember the Titans on vhs. And we'd be sitting wrapped, staring at it.
[01:18:55] Speaker B: So football is not fun? No, sir. Absolutely not fun at all. Okay. It's a great movie.
[01:19:03] Speaker A: All right, I'm gonna go.
I was gonna go for the. I put the sequel as once again as my pick, but I watched the original to be sure, and I was correct. I'm going with 2007's High School Musical too.
[01:19:22] Speaker B: Whoa.
See, this is why Ted is the goat. Because not only does he have the guts to choose the dcom movie, but he chooses the correct best.
[01:19:34] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:19:34] Speaker A: Thank you.
[01:19:35] Speaker B: Musical film, which is the.
[01:19:37] Speaker A: The songs are just funner in this movie. Like, I get like High School Musical one is like, oh, you. You're not like trapped in a box. And like, you don't have to be like, just a guy. Like, I. I didn't see High School, High School, the Musical walked so Barbie could run.
You know what I mean? Do you see? But do you see what I know?
[01:20:01] Speaker B: I got you. I got you.
[01:20:03] Speaker A: Because it's like. There's a whole song about how it's like, no, you can't be a baker, bro. You only basketball. That's all you do is basketball. You can't be a dancer girl because you're in the student council. Only not student council people can dance.
[01:20:18] Speaker D: We're saying this was the original shut up and dribble narrative.
[01:20:21] Speaker A: Yes. Yes, it is the original shut up and dribble narrative.
[01:20:27] Speaker B: They also play baseball, which is very important. One of the. One of the coolest, like, music scenes that in a dcom you've ever seen.
[01:20:35] Speaker A: Is that baseball in a, like, movie. Making sense. The plot in the second one still insane, but is significantly less, like, insane than the first one. The first one is like, we're emotionally manipulating and, like. Like our friends to, like, ignore things they want to do so they can keep hanging out with us, which is insane. If my friends had done that, I'd be like, okay, we're not friends anymore, bro. You ruined my life, bro.
[01:21:06] Speaker B: Do you see Vanessa Hutchins, like, please leave. Please leave me alone. Be a homie.
[01:21:11] Speaker A: Yeah. At least, like, the second movie is, like, regular high school.
My favorite, most relatable moment of the whole thing is, like, at the start, they're like, we're trying to get summer jobs. We can't get jobs. And then they all get a job. And the song. The first song they sing is about how much they don't want to work.
[01:21:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:21:29] Speaker A: And I'm like, they rule. Relatable finesse. Hutchins, once again coming in with the worst song in the movie.
[01:21:37] Speaker B: She really did.
[01:21:38] Speaker A: And, like, during that song, I said to out loud, just put the bet on. Just put bet on it in the bag. Like, come on. Because, like, you're watching high school music, too, to get to bet on it, right? Like, that's the song we want to hear. And when it. When it started, I was cheering, and then I started singing along because that is the goated song of High School Musical.
[01:22:02] Speaker B: Nah. Well, I think bet on it with other songs, but it's the visual still match, like, that whole era of memes.
[01:22:10] Speaker A: Yeah, the. The like, slapping the water as he gets up.
[01:22:15] Speaker B: I did see one of, like. Of a frozen one with. On it, but on. It's great. Fabulous. I don't dance. The baseball scene.
[01:22:24] Speaker A: The baseball scene is so I gotta say, though, they both gotta work on their throwing motions because Chad likes baseball. That's how he's pitching, bro. I think he's. He's about to be a senior. He's probably what top it out of 55 with the way he's throwing. I don't think he's got a great shot at his spin.
[01:22:44] Speaker C: Right.
[01:22:45] Speaker B: He also walked to walks are as good as singles.
[01:22:49] Speaker A: But like I did, I did. I said I wrote down already pictured you as the closed minded High School musical Chad and I, the open minded Troy.
And then like I do. I like, give flowers. It's clear Lucas Gabriel, who plays the brother Ryan, is the best singer in the entire cast. And his character is the perfect comic relief for like, both movies. Like I like, he's like. And in the second one, he's. His character's way funnier. I don't know if that's just him doing that to like, you know, fill his space while the scene's going on, but he is so funny in that second movie.
[01:23:32] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[01:23:33] Speaker A: I think I'm taking the first dcom. I think it's going to be the only dcom off the board.
[01:23:41] Speaker C: Yeah, south park did a good, good spoof there. Sorry.
[01:23:44] Speaker A: Yes, yes, yes.
[01:23:45] Speaker C: Edit all this out. Go ahead, Joe.
[01:23:50] Speaker B: Not. Yeah, I would say not so fast because I was going to say High School Musical if it wasn't taken, but now I'm gonna have to fall back to the greatest fallback dcom of all time. The thing, the movie that gave us Demi Lovato. And that's Camp Rock.
[01:24:04] Speaker A: Oh, never mind. Let me play this. Let me play the sound. What is.
[01:24:10] Speaker B: What's wrong with Camp Rock?
[01:24:12] Speaker A: I. It's not good.
[01:24:14] Speaker B: The Joan, the Joe, bro. This is the Jersey Joe.
[01:24:18] Speaker A: This was the moment we were supposed to be aging out of the Disney.
[01:24:23] Speaker B: Oh, the literal year and a half after High School Musical.
[01:24:28] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[01:24:31] Speaker B: You chose a movie for 2007 in High School Musical 2. And then I choose 2008's Camp Rock. And he was like, we're just too mature.
[01:24:40] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
I don't know how you watch Camp Rock and be like, yeah, this is the. Like, this is my fallback action. You can still take High School Musical, bro. It's there.
[01:24:52] Speaker B: No, because two is better than one.
[01:24:56] Speaker A: All right.
[01:24:59] Speaker B: Do you just not like Demi Lovato? You don't like the Joe Bros.
[01:25:02] Speaker A: I just don't. I just don't like Camp Rock.
[01:25:05] Speaker B: I think. I think you're crazy. I think Camp Rock is a very fun movie. Everybody remembers those. Those, you know, crazy summers where you're all trying to sing to be the leader of the performance at your summer camp. You know, everybody totally went through that.
And the song's really good. Obviously There's a lot of very famous people. They gave us Demi Lovato, who's a very, very great musician nowadays. And I think the ending song is a really fun, like, really cool, climactic way to end the movie with her and Joe Jonas coming together where they've been like, well, they won't they the whole movie. And then they sing together. And now it's true love because they sing. You know, I think it's. I think it's a great movie.
[01:25:49] Speaker A: I think you're the only one that's a Camp Rockhead, right? Can I just go on to my next pick, fellas, or no, Joe, go to your next pick.
[01:25:57] Speaker D: His final pick.
[01:25:58] Speaker A: Your final pick. Because we got nothing to say. We're just embarrassed.
[01:26:02] Speaker B: I'm really, I'm really surprised that Perez and Sam have not seen Camp Rock.
[01:26:08] Speaker A: That's insane. Because I'm sorry if I'm not surprised.
[01:26:16] Speaker B: Okay, this is where I'm going to the curveball. So I've shown five. I've chose five different categories. I chose Disney Animated.
[01:26:22] Speaker A: Yeah, bro, you said it like five times. Shut up.
[01:26:25] Speaker B: Shut up.
[01:26:25] Speaker A: Put the pick in the live action.
[01:26:27] Speaker B: Shut up. And dcom. All right, now we're going. What's. What's the first thing you see in every Disney, especially Pixar film? What's the first thing when you roll into the movie theater?
[01:26:39] Speaker A: Trailers.
[01:26:41] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:26:41] Speaker A: Maria Menounos or a black screen because the movie hasn't started yet.
[01:26:45] Speaker C: After Mario Lopez.
[01:26:49] Speaker A: Nicole Kidman.
[01:26:50] Speaker B: Yes, after Nicole Kidman. And after the Pixar, like Curb stomps the eye.
[01:26:55] Speaker A: Yeah, the first thing.
[01:26:57] Speaker C: That's not the first thing. That's not the first thing. Then you just like five things.
[01:27:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:27:01] Speaker A: After that, the movie theater, when I walked.
[01:27:04] Speaker B: Associated sh. Short film accompanying the movie Brother. And everybody loves those short films at the beginning. They're so fun. They're just like a little four minute.
[01:27:16] Speaker A: I'm Isso. There's an obvious one you need to pick and if you don't pick it.
[01:27:21] Speaker B: And so I am choosing what I think is the greatest short film I've ever seen. 2012's Paper Man.
[01:27:29] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:27:30] Speaker B: Or Wreck It Ralph.
[01:27:31] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:27:32] Speaker A: That is the obvious choice.
[01:27:33] Speaker B: I don't know if Perez and. And Sam have seen Paper man or not, but if you have familiar with that work. We're familiar with those six minutes. It is, it's. It's better than up's first 10 minutes and it's only six minutes long. It is the greatest short film that, like, concise, no words needed. No words Necessary. Music is perfect. Visuals are gorgeous. So because I wanted to be unique with the different category here, I'm gonna choose what's probably the only short Disney film on the list. And for anyone who's not seen Paper man, please just go watch it on YouTube. It's phenomenal.
[01:28:09] Speaker A: It's the best short. Like, I came out of Wreck It Ralph going talking more about Paper man than record 100.
[01:28:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:28:16] Speaker A: And like. And like, I. This was. I was like, you know, I was in a Went to school. Like, all my peers are like a bunch of animation freaks, and they were geeking out over to, like. It was just like. We were more geeked on that than Wreck It Ralph. It's the odd. If you had said anything else, Joe, I would have been. You tanked your whole draft.
[01:28:36] Speaker B: I was thinking of the guy playing chess, you know. Yeah.
[01:28:39] Speaker A: But overall, still, you know, your draft is not good.
[01:28:43] Speaker B: Understandable.
[01:28:44] Speaker A: Now, I'm. I'm debating between two picks here.
Do I go about another animated movie that I know I. In my heart of hearts, I can't pick because of how it makes me feel about accuracies. Or do I go with a divisive movie? I'm going divisive. I'm going with divisive 1982, Tron.
[01:29:14] Speaker D: Okay.
[01:29:17] Speaker B: I did not peek you as a Tron.
[01:29:20] Speaker A: I watched Tron and I was like, I'm having fun. Fun. Most movies and nowadays, if Tron was made, you'd be getting back and forth between Tron and real world. But you watch Tron and you are in Tron. Once you are in Tron, that is it, like, you'd get nothing else. And you are experiencing whatever the. Is going on in Tron world.
And like, no matter how jagged and janky the VFX looks, sometime it is a, like, monumental feat that this movie looks like the way it does. Because I don't know if you know the history about this movie. Like, they had to paint over the negatives of the film reel and then lay it on top to make all the effects look like the way they do. I loved every minute of it. I love a movie that is uncompromising in its vision. They stuck to what they wanted to do. And even if people hate it and people go, there's no story. I don't know what's going on. They, like, committed to their bit. And that always gets a vote from me. And Eber says it addresses itself without apology, and I think that should be commended. And he's, rest in peace. Roger Diebert, you were the Goat. And I agree.
[01:30:41] Speaker B: Tron. The kingdom hearts stage. I'm familiar.
[01:30:43] Speaker A: Shut up, bro.
[01:30:47] Speaker B: Sorry. You just watched people that were in Tron. I actually went into Tron, you know.
[01:30:56] Speaker A: But yeah, Tron is like. I talked to it with my co worker and he's like. I said, I watched Tron. His response was, I'm so sorry. And I said, I don't know what you mean. I had a ton of fun, if you're wondering. And like, I went on letterbox. It is a lot of. I hate this movie. What is going on to. This movie's a lot. I love this movie. So I'm. I love a div. I love movies that split the audience.
[01:31:20] Speaker D: What are your. What are your Tron Legacy thoughts while we're talking?
[01:31:23] Speaker A: Tron series soundtrack is like a one, like one of the best soundtracks. Shame it came out the same year as Social Network soundtrack, cuz, like, hard to compete with that one, I think. Right?
[01:31:38] Speaker D: Yep.
[01:31:39] Speaker A: I'm not the biggest Tron Legacy guy because, like, I don't know why Jeff Bridges went back into Tron world after he made, like, an effort to, like, prove he didn't. He got, like, IP Death from.
But, like, original Tron. Great. Haven't. Didn't watch Tron Legacy for this, so I don't have any real thoughts.
[01:31:59] Speaker D: Wow.
[01:32:02] Speaker C: All right.
[01:32:04] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:32:05] Speaker B: Oh, have you been on it?
[01:32:06] Speaker A: I never.
Yeah, I've never been to Orlando, so I don't know that Red.
[01:32:16] Speaker D: Orlando. I gotta be honest.
[01:32:18] Speaker A: All right, Sam last.
[01:32:19] Speaker B: What other 1992 film does Sam gonna throw?
[01:32:22] Speaker A: I know what he's about to. He. He said it might make an appearance.
[01:32:27] Speaker D: It might. So I still have 15 things on my draft board because apparently I don't overlap that much with you guys.
[01:32:33] Speaker A: I'll say this. My draft strategy was to go with movies I know I'd be able to pick. I didn't want to fight and be like, oh, I can't believe I got like.
[01:32:44] Speaker D: Like, Perez took Toy Story. I, you know, selected it on my phone and deleted it. Like.
Like, I'm very much. Like, I have my rankings and I'm.
[01:32:54] Speaker A: I'm really.
[01:32:55] Speaker D: I was not planning on messing with them until, like, I got to here. And I have, like, too much to pick between. So I have a bunch of, like, objectively good movies on my list. And now I'm gonna take a movie that, like, the concept is, like, very familiar. But I don't know if people actually think the movie is that great, but I have a lot to say about it. And that would be 1997, not 1992 Joe. That would be Airbud.
[01:33:20] Speaker B: Oh, what a. What a snipe.
[01:33:23] Speaker A: That was on my list, but I was just like, none of it beats out anything else I want.
[01:33:29] Speaker D: No, it's, it's not objectively better than a bunch of like, you know, I don't know what Jonathan picks. I don't want to spoil it, but we can talk about it in the honorable mentions part. But you know, there's a bunch of really amazing like Disney, Disney, Pixar, you know, live action, etc stuff. But I really wanted to get an airbud discussion going on here.
First of all, it came out on my sixth birthday, which is very important to me.
It's also just I'm, you know, big dog person. That's great. The dog is, is pretty good at basketball. It's not really like an isolation scorer. Like you can't really a lot of its own, but like deadly off ball like a Klay Thompson type.
[01:34:09] Speaker B: Plus minus is through the room.
[01:34:10] Speaker D: You said a couple screens and buddy is knocking that down.
[01:34:14] Speaker A: A lot of gravity assists.
[01:34:17] Speaker D: Also just like the movie. Like I was re watching. I can't believe I'm admitting this. I was re watching airbud for the podcast.
[01:34:23] Speaker A: And don't feel embarrassed. I watched all of these movies, even the ones on my list, I did not draft for this. So don't feel bad.
[01:34:33] Speaker D: Oh, I feel, I feel horrible. Like the movie is like kind of dark and weird in the beginning. Like, yeah, the dog is like, like, I don't want to say slave, but like the dog is like forced to.
[01:34:43] Speaker A: Do like weird for clown.
[01:34:46] Speaker D: Yeah, weird, yeah, for the, the evil clown guy. And he gets rescued by the. The orphan. Not an orphan kid. Just, you know, kind of loner kid. Turns out, you know, hey, this dog can hoop.
But of course spawn so many memorable lines. You know, there's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball.
Of course. Like, imagine being the father of one of the children on the other team. Like, like, hey, how'd it go today at school? Oh, a dog dropped 30 on me and we lost her. You know, just a lot going on there. Also, not about AirBuds specifically, but one of its many revered direct to video sequels. Airbud 7th inning fetch implies that 911 didn't happen. So just like shout out to the Airbud franchise in general.
[01:35:33] Speaker B: The better timeline, the better that we.
[01:35:35] Speaker A: Could be living in that timeline.
[01:35:37] Speaker D: I'm pretty sure I mentioned this at some point during a really late evening at MLB, but if you watch Airbuds 7th inning fetch. Which of course I did as a youngster who loved baseball and dogs.
The movie came out in 2002. The end of the movie, that headline on the front page of the newspaper is like, that the softball team won the championship. Front page of the newspaper. And the newspaper is dated Wednesday, September 12, 2001.
So either just like they missed the other big story the previous day.
[01:36:14] Speaker A: Or.
[01:36:16] Speaker B: It was a bigger story.
[01:36:18] Speaker D: Performance in the softball championship game somehow stopped all the planes.
[01:36:23] Speaker C: If you remember there, that wasn't even the best athletic feat that happened that day. Remember that guy that bowled a 300?
Yeah. So you got Airbud. You got softball and the 300 game, like, right?
[01:36:38] Speaker A: Yeah. 911 got bumped down to B3 on the front on the newspaper.
[01:36:43] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. Also C insert for terrorist attacks.
One note, though, on earbuds. Something that actually made me really sad when I was looking all this up.
Airbud was nominated for favorite animal star at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards that year. And you would think, oh, Buddy's got to be a lock for this. You know, look how dominant he is in the movie. You know? No. No toddler can guard this dog. Salem, the cat from which actually won that award.
[01:37:13] Speaker B: That's the. That's the right answer. I'm sorry. Salem was.
[01:37:16] Speaker A: I don't think.
[01:37:17] Speaker D: I think if you rewatch airbud Joe, you're gonna agree it's not the right answer. Also, the kids chose Puff Daddy as their favorite singer that year. So maybe the voting audience is not to be trusted.
[01:37:27] Speaker B: That was us. We were the voting audience.
[01:37:30] Speaker D: I don't remember voting for Diddy. I'm just putting that on the record.
[01:37:33] Speaker B: Maybe you did Air Bud. Phenomenal. The greatest technicality in the history of cinema. As you mentioned, there's no rule that says the dog can't play basketball. That is spawned 30 years of actually people in movies simply because of Airbuds existence. So very significant film.
[01:37:56] Speaker A: I watched Air Bud, I think last year or a year and a half ago, and like, yeah, that first.
The first 10 minutes is, like, weirdly dark. I don't like. I don't know why we needed color. That airbud was like, I don't know why I need to color. That airbud was like, just like a dog that was getting owned. Like, had to do magic tricks for. To get its meals.
But it's. It is. I. There wasn't as much basketball as I wanted in airbud when I had watched it was. Which is my big complaint also that basketball is like, Oiled up beyond belief. So he can. So Air Bud can Air Bud it.
[01:38:42] Speaker D: And oil up a basketball for a dog.
[01:38:45] Speaker A: Yeah, they had. That's what they had to do.
[01:38:47] Speaker C: I'm with Sam, though. I think every championship team needs a player like Air Bud and Buddy, you know, like, he's not going to be Steph Curry or LeBron, but you'd need. Quite frankly, you need dogs on your team. You need people that are going to go the extra miles.
[01:39:00] Speaker B: Got him.
[01:39:01] Speaker C: And that's what Body was.
Rip.
[01:39:04] Speaker A: Rip.
[01:39:06] Speaker B: What do you mean he's upstate? After they filmed the movie, they took them to a farm upstate.
[01:39:13] Speaker A: All right, John, last pick.
[01:39:16] Speaker B: Bring it home.
[01:39:17] Speaker C: Yeah, I know, I know. I have to make this count.
I really want to stick to Pixar, so I'm just looking at my sports movies and we'll do them in the honorable mentions.
Yeah, I'm gonna break my rule. I'm going with Toy Story 2 as a sequel. I didn't want to put a sequel in there, but. But this is the lone Pixar movie where I'll hear an argument that Toy Story 2 is better than Toy Story 1 and actually believe you.
[01:39:50] Speaker A: You know, that's my feeling.
[01:39:53] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, like Buzz versus.
[01:39:57] Speaker A: The.
[01:39:57] Speaker C: The Toy Collector.
It's just great. Like, it is. It is a fantastic. Add a new catalog of characters. Jesse's fantastic. Stinky Pete.
Yeah, that. It's just. It's just great. And how you really see the friendship between Buzz and Woody just expound in this one.
[01:40:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I. It's definitely the one I like more than the original.
But then like, Way Knight's in it. He's a toy collector. And because it's Way Night, I always scream a quote from Nirvana, the band, the show, Newman, he's hacking Jurassic park.
And. But it's like. Yeah, I really. It's just like. It feels more rounded as a movie, obviously, because now they have the ability to make people look like people rather than toys, so you can kind of get more life into the world.
But, yeah, those are my thoughts on Toy Story 2. I. It's. I. I like it better than one and far more than three.
[01:41:02] Speaker B: I think.
I believe Toy Story 2 was the first 100 approval rating film on Rotten Tomatoes. I think I want to say that's right.
[01:41:14] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't use that website.
[01:41:18] Speaker B: My bad. I'm trying to add on to how great the film is. I apologize.
[01:41:22] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know. I'm just saying I don't. I don't. I don't know. Yeah.
First ever. Go talks amongst yourself.
[01:41:30] Speaker C: It is 100% on the.
On Rotten Tomatoes.
[01:41:34] Speaker A: He's saying it was the first ever movie.
[01:41:39] Speaker C: I'd assume so when, you know, first film.
[01:41:41] Speaker A: So Google, Google. AI is telling me the first film to achieve 100% rating on rotten Tomatoes was Leave no Trace.
[01:41:49] Speaker B: What year is that?
[01:41:49] Speaker C: Okay, but what was the first real movie?
[01:41:54] Speaker A: I don't know, because it's like, it'd.
[01:41:56] Speaker B: Be like if someone chose the Godfather now. It's like. Okay, but the Rotten Tomatoes website didn't exist in 1970, so.
[01:42:02] Speaker A: Yeah, no, the Rotten Tomatoes does have Leave no Trace as a is above Toy Story 2, but no, I'm saying it's gonna be Toy Story 2 because it came out in 99 and Leave no Trace came out in 90 in 2018.
[01:42:15] Speaker D: So.
[01:42:15] Speaker A: I think you're correct, Joe.
[01:42:17] Speaker B: Okay. The timelines are matching up.
[01:42:20] Speaker A: Yes, I'm still looking.
No, Philadelphia Story has 100% and that came out before Toy Story 2. Sam. Seven Samurai.
[01:42:33] Speaker B: Yeah, when. When people flock to. To on their Google chrome in the 1950s. The C. Seven Samurai.
[01:42:40] Speaker A: Well, Philadelphia Story is. Came out before that too.
[01:42:45] Speaker B: Yeah. So I think. I think I'll take that one. I'll take the. I'll take the minor dub.
[01:42:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I think. No, I think you're right, Joe, though, just based on everything I'm seeing, I.
[01:42:54] Speaker B: Just like to add fun little facts to the conversation, you know, little tidbits for you to. To chew on for when I'm gone. He said that Joe guy, he's, he's. He's. He's a cool guy.
[01:43:04] Speaker A: All right. Honorable mentions. I got kind of a. Kind of a big list or you know, a list that is.
[01:43:12] Speaker B: There's so many to choose from.
[01:43:13] Speaker D: Yeah, I mean there's. There's tons. Where do you want to start?
[01:43:18] Speaker A: I have Hercules that was debating between Tron and Hercules.
My I like on a mythology like sense is completely wrong. They everything up. And for that I can't forgive it.
[01:43:32] Speaker B: That's why you couldn't choose it. Because of Heracles.
[01:43:34] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Movie should be called Heracles 1997, not Hercules. Really it up.
Really did.
Really did Hades dirty Hades isn't a villain. He's just a guy. He's just like a guy who hangs out underground, does. Never leaves his kingdom, just hangs out. And like if we want to put the laundry list of all the bad things Hades has done, it is far dwarfed by anything any of the other major gods has ever done. Here is the reason Hercules Heracles kills Meg and his kids. So you know, justice for. Hashtag justice for Hades.
[01:44:16] Speaker B: No, he had, he had a loving mother in the film actually. You know, she didn't make him go through all those trials and, and everything. And she didn't want to try to kill him. Nope. She was just all in on Hercules.
[01:44:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's they up. Just they it all up. So that's why I couldn't pick it. I had Honey, I shrunk the kids 89.
[01:44:34] Speaker D: Yeah, that was on mine.
[01:44:35] Speaker A: I rewatched it and I was just like. I was having so much fun watching all the small the trunk parts. Cuz like the practicality of it all, it might look janky and weird, but I was like. I just loved how like they went with it to make it look real as they could. I thought that was really cool.
I have Flubber 97.
It's also a John Hughes script.
But it was too much romance, not enough flubber for me.
I wanted.
[01:45:09] Speaker B: Did you imagine the Whirlwind as Robin Robert Robin Williams agent going from.
Going from Goodwill hunting straight into flubber.
[01:45:21] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. I can't imagine. It's just like I wanted more flubber. Roger D. Bird agrees. It was a movie slow going and like. Yep, he's right. It's just like. It's a flat John Hughes script which is a surprise to me. I have 91's Rocketeer which is like a weird like if it's a just like an off superhero movie where you know you would get like the weird like Poppy Popey kind of superheroes that aren't really big names. Has that feel which I really like. And then I have 3D comms at the end. Brink, Eddie, Eddie and Million Dollar Cook off. And Smart House, which Smart House is directed by LeVar Burton.
[01:46:06] Speaker D: Oh, nice.
[01:46:08] Speaker A: But Eddie millions dollar cook off. They. They're squashing gender norms. But they had to be insanely sexist. Do so.
And then Brink. It's a movie with incredibly low stakes. But one mo. One thing is incredibly high stake. Oh, I love to rollerblade, but these rollerblading bozos suck. But also on the other hand, we might lose the house and my dad's unemployed and the housing market crash. So I have to like become a sponsored rollerblader. So now I have to be a bozo. Very funny. And also shouts out to my friend, will, I told you this when I saw you, but you look like the villain in the movie, bro. I think that's you.
[01:46:52] Speaker D: Wow.
I was thinking about doing A bit where I was just gonna pick like direct to video sequels of actually good movies, but didn't have the heart to go through with that for an hour and a half.
But some ones that missed the cut for me. Barely. I will say. Cool Runnings 1993.
[01:47:17] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[01:47:18] Speaker D: Sticking with the sports theme. Miracle 2004.
[01:47:22] Speaker C: Not a great movie, but. But a great subject.
[01:47:26] Speaker D: I like the movie.
[01:47:27] Speaker C: I don't know.
[01:47:27] Speaker D: Sorry. Sue me.
I didn't want to put it on the actual list.
Cars 2 just for the tweet. And genuinely surprised this one didn't get picked. If someone else had taken airbud somewhere in the first five and a half rounds, I would have taken this with my last pick. But Ratatouille, no one took.
[01:47:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:47:53] Speaker D: Through the cracks.
And yeah, that's. That's most of my honorable mention list.
[01:47:59] Speaker A: Sam, I don't know what Cars2 tweet you're thinking of. Is it the one I'm looking at right now?
[01:48:06] Speaker D: I am sure it is.
[01:48:07] Speaker A: Okay.
Yeah, it does. Okay.
[01:48:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:48:11] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:48:15] Speaker A: I do remember seeing that.
Joe John, Any honorable mentions?
[01:48:24] Speaker B: Yeah, I've. I had just a lot of things listed just in case because you never know what's gonna get sniped from you. I would say the only thing that actually got sniped for me was High School Musical too. So good job by.
[01:48:35] Speaker A: Thank you.
[01:48:35] Speaker B: By Ted there. That was the only thing. Because I was trying to go for a little bit here, like one of a certain type of thing, whatever. And obviously Cambrock is not as good as High School Musical too. But then I can't be a fraud and choose the first movie when I think.
[01:48:48] Speaker A: But I just feel like there's just better dcoms.
[01:48:52] Speaker B: I don't think so.
[01:48:55] Speaker A: I listed three better decoms.
[01:48:57] Speaker B: They're not that. They're not better than Camp Rock. It's not true.
[01:49:00] Speaker A: Yes, 100. They are.
[01:49:01] Speaker B: They're not. Just because they're not. High School Musical too.
[01:49:05] Speaker A: Eddie's million dollar kickoff involves a baseball game.
[01:49:08] Speaker B: No, it's not. It's not. It's not. It's not the only criteria for good films. If it has baseball.
[01:49:13] Speaker A: White House is way better than Camp Rock.
[01:49:16] Speaker B: You're just dead.
[01:49:19] Speaker A: All right.
[01:49:21] Speaker B: You called me too old for liking Camp Rock because it came out like 11 months after high School Musical too. You're just so much more refined and mature 11 months later.
[01:49:32] Speaker A: I'm just saying that, like, there's better D comms. No, it's gonna be in. In the exit poll. Better dcom, Smart House or Camp Rock.
[01:49:41] Speaker B: All right, so that was the only snipe for me. The other honorable mentions. Surprise that I would. I would have put Beauty and the Beast on my list if I was just choosing my favorites, because that's probably my favorite Disney movie. First Disney. First animated film nominated for best picture also.
[01:49:59] Speaker A: Oh, so first Disney movie to have used CG or, you know, 3D animation in it.
[01:50:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I love Beauty and the Beast. Little music in there too. Hercules, as you mentioned.
Cars, the original one. I think that's actually a really good movie. The Life is a Highway song. I was blasting that all day, every day when that came out.
But definitely the Cool Runnings is a nice one there. Pirates of the Caribbean is a Disney movie as well.
[01:50:27] Speaker A: I did see that and I was.
[01:50:29] Speaker B: A really, really fun movie. But the only other one I considered for my live action slot, where I chose Mary Poppins, it was I was considering who Framed Roger Rabbit instead. The blend of live action.
[01:50:43] Speaker A: Is that a Disney movie?
[01:50:45] Speaker B: Does that count? That is a Disney movie.
[01:50:47] Speaker A: Is it a Disney Pictures? No, it's a touchstone movie.
[01:50:51] Speaker B: Did you Google it?
[01:50:52] Speaker A: Yes, I Google. I'd ask Jeeves because I looked up.
[01:50:57] Speaker D: Disney Disney film Silver Screen Partners. Yeah, you would have gotten killed for that.
[01:51:02] Speaker A: I would have owned your ass. Ass. Because I would have. Because you know why I would have. You know why I would have owned you? Because I would have selected who Framed Roger Rabbit.
[01:51:11] Speaker B: I mean, it's a great. It's a great movie. What you gonna say?
Sorry, my. My Google, when I looked up Disney, I looked up live action Disney films and who Framed Roger Rabbit was on the list.
[01:51:24] Speaker A: Yeah. And that list is wrong because I'm.
[01:51:26] Speaker B: But Pulp Fiction wasn't on the list.
[01:51:28] Speaker A: It's on the Wikipedia list of all Disney movies. But like, when you go to that list, it's like you can sort by like, who distributed the movie.
[01:51:41] Speaker B: Also underrated Princess and the Frog. That's a really fun movie too. I enjoy that one.
[01:51:46] Speaker A: That was like Disney had taken like a decade off from animated movies and came back with that, right?
[01:51:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:51:54] Speaker A: Never saw.
[01:51:54] Speaker B: I don't know Perez has any. Any other Pixar movies on his list?
[01:51:58] Speaker C: I do.
Good call. Out with Ratatouille. Great movie. I just wanted to win the draft, so I picked Toy Story 2. Well, I picked Frozen. Wally's another good one.
[01:52:09] Speaker A: He's great.
[01:52:09] Speaker C: Yeah, Wally's great. And I mean, then the rest are just like sequels, you know, like It's Toy Story 3, Cars 2.
Oh, the dinosaur.
[01:52:20] Speaker B: Great, great film.
[01:52:22] Speaker C: Critically loved. Yeah, I'm Just looking at a list of sports movies and like, I mean, the Mighty Ducks is head and shoulders above all the other either one offs or sequels like Angels.
[01:52:36] Speaker D: Yeah, but I don't really care for the Angels, so.
[01:52:41] Speaker C: Yeah, I love the last scene. I love the last scene where Danny Glover's character tells Joseph Gordon Lovett that he's going to adopt him. And then he goes, well, what about JP and, and Danny Gover's like, all right, I guess we're gonna, we're gonna adopt him too. Oh, yeah, he could come with us. And this is. They get him to go. The rookie with Dennis Quaid who plays. Eventually.
[01:53:05] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:53:06] Speaker C: Guy was clearly on steroids. Like, that's, that's what happened. Glory Road, Secretariat, which I think they tried to get. I think they tried to get the dog from airbud to play Secretariat, but he wasn't available.
Right, exactly.
[01:53:25] Speaker B: Yeah, he was upstate, Ted.
[01:53:28] Speaker D: Right.
[01:53:29] Speaker C: And then just in terms of like Disney Channel, like original sports movies. Jump in. Go figure. Full court miracle. Johnny Tsunami, Luck of the Irish.
Right.
[01:53:40] Speaker A: There's the breakdancing one, the BMXing one.
Johnny Tsunami 2, where he's snowboarding instead.
[01:53:49] Speaker C: Of surfing the Empire Strikes Back.
[01:53:53] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
[01:53:54] Speaker B: Does hocus Pocus count?
[01:53:57] Speaker A: I think so.
[01:53:59] Speaker B: What are our thoughts on that film?
[01:54:02] Speaker A: That would be a movie for me.
[01:54:04] Speaker D: In my top 20.
[01:54:07] Speaker A: It is a. Well, that would have counted.
All right, if that's it.
Thanks everyone for watching. In the show notes, there will be an exit poll. Please vote for the winner. Vote with your heart and not with who just picked best movies, because that's no fun, because that's not how elections work.
There will be other questions in the exit poll. Like always.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for watching.
I know I said I watched all my movies except heavyweights, but the last piece of media I watched was heavyweights.
