High School Cinema Draft: The Best Movies of 2005-2011

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome everyone to the first ever episode of the Yapoff podcast. There has never been another episode of these four people talking in the microphones with each other ever. It's never happened before. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying. It's like season zero of Yu Gi. Oh. With me are some of the my three favorite people in the world. You can see their name. If you're watching the video version, you can see their names spinning in a wheel. I'm Ted. With me is John, Joe and Sam. I'm glad we're still here. Hey, great, great work everyone. We're really efforting this whole thing. [00:00:40] Speaker B: Well, it is our first time recording. [00:00:43] Speaker C: It's my favorite. [00:00:45] Speaker B: Who talks first? You know? [00:00:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, yeah, we don't know who talks. Why it's all of you. And I thought, well, you know, you, there'd be something. But I'm gonna date this podcast. We are two days away from 2025. You're watching this in 2025. But the big news has happened. The off season is moving. Josh Bell has signed a one year, six million dollar deal to return to the Nationals. Because when you trade a 23 year old inner circle hall of Famer type and the prospects you get back seemingly are panning out, what you do is push all your chips in and you bring back. Josh Bell. [00:01:29] Speaker C: Is hit everywhere that he's gone and all he's done is hit dingers and signed him. Like I'm being serious here. Good piece to have. [00:01:39] Speaker A: It's. [00:01:39] Speaker C: I mean, it's like the team that's going to finish at last place, it's a great signing. [00:01:44] Speaker A: That's so disrespectful to the Nationals because the Marlins exist. [00:01:48] Speaker C: That's true. [00:01:51] Speaker A: I like Josh Bell. I just feel like the Gnats with like a very good young core should be actually pushing their chips in a more meaningful way. [00:02:05] Speaker B: It's just, can you imagine want to grow the right way when the 30 for 30 documentary is written and produced on this podcast and they're gonna go back and say the first conversation topic was a five minute conversation about Josh Bell signing a one year deal to the Nationals. [00:02:24] Speaker A: All right, well, in respect to that, the first conversation was me saying that Juan Soto had signed a seven year deal with the Minnesota Twins. If you want to be technical. I wish, but that didn't happen technically. Like I said, it's like season zero of Yu Gi. Oh, if you're familiar with that. [00:02:46] Speaker C: That'S the one where they roll the dice and the. [00:02:48] Speaker A: No, that's dungeon That's Dungeon Dice Monsters, brother. That's the middle. That's in between Dual City and after Duelist kingdom. Bro. Season 0 Yu Gi oh is when Idiot you are. Yeah. Season zero of you go is when instead of playing card games, Yugimoto has had another little guy in him. It's still the same guy, but instead of playing Yu Gi oh, he played like high card, low card. And if you lost, you'd fall off a building and die. This is real. [00:03:23] Speaker C: This. [00:03:23] Speaker A: This is a real how agree that. [00:03:26] Speaker C: Could we all agree that my Valentine was the worst or most overrated duelist in the history of Yu Gi oh? [00:03:31] Speaker A: That's so disrespectful to mind Valentine. When Rex Raptor exists. [00:03:38] Speaker D: The marlins. [00:03:42] Speaker C: Rex lost and that was it. Like my would lose every. With the exception of beating Joey the first time, she never won anything. In fact, she probably just stole her. She lost to Taya. [00:03:54] Speaker A: No, she forfeited the dead stall. God, you. I'm not gonna sit here and go through the plot points of Yu Gi oh like I did to Joe when he got one thing wrong about what happened in Boy Meets World. I'm not going to do it. It's not going to happen on this podcast. It'll happen. Maybe. Maybe it'll happen in another episode. It won't be this one. [00:04:14] Speaker C: Yu Gi oh is better than is. [00:04:16] Speaker B: A Boy Meets World kid too. [00:04:17] Speaker A: I'm not a Boy Meets World kid. I'm just like. I have information that's just like, stored in my. In my data banks that, like, I can't forget for the first episode of the App off podcast. I'm so delighted to be doing a draft with these three favorite people. I was debating if I was going to make a word bank type system for the draft. So we had specific things to draft from, but I felt like that gave me too much information in the draft ahead of time and so I did not want to give myself an unfair advantage. Cool. Thanks for chiming in, guys. Fantastic work as always. [00:05:01] Speaker B: We're getting better. [00:05:02] Speaker A: Yeah, eventually the banter will be there. So we are going to be doing a draft of high school movies. Now, when I say high school, these are not movies about kids in high school coming of age. They could be, but that's not the focus. These are movies that came out while we were in high school. I'm gonna have to try to remember this time frame off the top of my head. It has to be from. I gotta work backwards. It's gonna. The time frame is from 2011 to 2005. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Correct. [00:05:42] Speaker A: I got there. That's when we were in high school. You can figure out who's the oldest and youngest. You could make your own. In your mind's eye, your own list of who's the old person here. In order to pick. [00:05:55] Speaker B: Well, Perez did. Perez did spend six years in high school. He had to, you know, make sure he really understood everything. [00:06:01] Speaker D: Yeah, maybe I just did some post grad years. You don't know that. [00:06:03] Speaker A: Yeah, it's true. True. [00:06:05] Speaker B: Maybe PhD. [00:06:07] Speaker A: There is a. My favorite part of the American school system is freshman year one and freshman year two. For certain people, that's always an interesting one in order to figure out the order of the draft. So I'm not potentially favoring anybody. We have this wonderful wheel here where I'm just gonna spin the wheel and see who gets the first pick. [00:06:33] Speaker B: No whammies, no worries. No worries. [00:06:36] Speaker C: Keep going, Keep going. [00:06:37] Speaker D: Oh, you've gotta be caring. [00:06:42] Speaker A: I'm not like a guy. I don't do these things. I'm not a code guy. I'm not a cod monkey. So the first pick will be mine. I will be removing my name. So it's not rigged. I was completely random. No, I cannot get the second pick because it'll be a Snake draft. [00:07:04] Speaker D: Great. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Second pick will be John. Technically, he's not the winner. I'm the winner of the wheel. But we will continue. [00:07:15] Speaker B: 50, 50. [00:07:21] Speaker A: And unfortunately, Joe will get the last pick of the draft. [00:07:25] Speaker B: Story of my life. [00:07:26] Speaker D: The wraparound spot, which is a good. [00:07:28] Speaker B: Spot to be in. [00:07:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:07:30] Speaker B: I think I'll take. I think I'll take a Rom com and then a wide receiver on the way back. [00:07:37] Speaker C: This is Snake Draft. Correct. [00:07:38] Speaker A: This is a Snake draft. [00:07:39] Speaker B: If. [00:07:40] Speaker A: Hey, you know what? I'll give us five minutes if people want to see if they can trade picks. Let's. Let's see. Maybe you just want to swap first rounders. You can. And I will say this, you can draft future picks. You can trade future picks or swaps. That'd be swaps. [00:07:59] Speaker B: I. I have. I have some slot machines calling my name for the New Year's, Ted. [00:08:04] Speaker A: So I am fine with my. Obviously, I'm fine with. You know. But if anyone. No swaps. No one wants to try to move up. All right. [00:08:14] Speaker D: I think. I think number one is a. Oh. [00:08:17] Speaker A: I mean, I'm going to pick my first. It's like, this is the biggest. I'm the most relieved I've ever been in my life. Screw my dad getting out of the hospital right when Covid started, wasn't Relieved. Then me getting the first pick in the high school movie draft. The most relieved I've ever been. I think we're all in agreement. The number one pick is obvious. It's super bad. Am I about to be the surprise of a generation? [00:08:44] Speaker C: No, you're 100. [00:08:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:47] Speaker C: Same with mine as well. Yes. [00:08:48] Speaker A: I feel like it was a second. [00:08:49] Speaker B: Round prospect, but that's. [00:08:51] Speaker A: You're insane. You're just kidding. This is the Judas Mike. [00:08:57] Speaker C: Get him out of here. Get him out of here. [00:08:59] Speaker D: Actually, when the Wheel, Ted, when the wheel landed on you, I had a face like Jerry West. When the Grizzlies lost upon it, the. [00:09:09] Speaker A: Wheels spinning on me was the. The Knicks getting the number one pick. The folded envelope. It was cold. The wheel knew exactly this. I. I love. [00:09:23] Speaker B: I. [00:09:23] Speaker A: The super bet's the movie I've watched the most in my life. I feel like. [00:09:28] Speaker C: Yes, I have the same. I quoted every single day. Tiger got out of the cage. I mean, this is. And especially for us, this was the era that made Judd Apatow hall of Famer. [00:09:42] Speaker A: This isn't a judge run. This isn't a Judd Apatow joint. [00:09:47] Speaker C: No, no, sorry. Yeah, he'll be featured a lot. Yeah, but that, like, Rat Pack, you know, Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Jonah Hill. It is the funniest movie. And it gets funnier with every time that you watch it. Yeah, I cackle at every. It's not a new line because I'm watching it again. McLovin's the funniest. I mean, when he walks into the class out of nowhere, and then the teacher's like, all right, if you're not in this class, get out. Ogle. Hi. I don't know why that makes me laugh so much. And that's not even the funniest line of the movie, but it just. It makes me laugh. The montage of them baking together. Emma Stone's exceptional. Like, this is. This is a great run for. I know I said Judd Apatow, but I mean, like, Seth Rogen, like. And I'm not tipping picks here, but this was one of many creations. I could dive into the history of that. I'll yield it for now. But, like, you could tell that they really honed this script for the six years because originally it was supposed to be Seth Rogen was supposed to play Jonah Hill's role. And then I forgot who was supposed to play Michael Sarah's role. But those two were exceptional. And then the X factor is Christopher Mince Plass, who has some pretty good movie Roles in this era as well, from the 07 to 2011 time frame. So, yeah, if you didn't pick that, I was picking super bad. And then I know Sam would have picked it. So, yeah, this is 100%. [00:11:07] Speaker A: I just want to say my favorite streamer has, like, gone on the record. He. He may or may not be bald. I'm not here to speculate on that. He said your favorite movie is the first rated R movie you saw with your friends. And this was that movie for me. My friends and I snuck into the theater to see this movie. [00:11:32] Speaker D: The scene where Jonah Hill is by the liquor illegally, and he snaps his fingers and the bill turns into an $80 bill. That is the closest I have come to actually peeing myself in the movie theater. Like, period. I could not stop laughing. [00:11:53] Speaker A: What? [00:11:54] Speaker D: Also, like, just a great in theater movie experience. [00:11:57] Speaker A: It is. Yeah. [00:11:57] Speaker D: No, it was, you know, high school idiots watching this movie. [00:12:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Dying as I've grown old as an adult. My favorite scene. And I text this line to my friend every time I watch this movie. There was a point these last couple months where I was watching this movie every night because I would drink three beers at a bar, come home and watch this movie. And it would be. Yeah, as one does. It is the scene where Jonah Hill's walking out in the house party with the detergent bottles filled with beer, and he. I don't know the actor's name. I know the character he plays in Community, which is Sean Garrity. He bumps into him, who's the host of the party, and he goes, what's this? And Jonah Hill just lifts up the bottles and says, it's detergent. And his response, yeah, what are you doing with it? Kills me every time. That is a kill that will stone cold kill me now. It is so funny. [00:12:57] Speaker B: Scene that cracks. [00:12:58] Speaker C: Me up most is when they're interrogating. Not interrogating. When they're questioning the worker after the robbery. And they're like, all right, how tall was he? I'm going to start up here. You stand. Start here. Was he like. [00:13:09] Speaker A: Was he like us or like you? [00:13:14] Speaker C: Oh, Jew. All right. He was a black Jew. That. Did he look like this? And he just draws an Eminem. [00:13:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:22] Speaker B: Listen, Ted, I'm happy for you, but. Yeah, I'm just saying, I don't know if you've seen that meme. Like, he's. Oh, he's already not even top five. Top five Lakers. It's like, it's not ridiculous to say it's arguably not even the best Comedy in the. In the list from this time period. [00:13:38] Speaker A: That's insane. [00:13:40] Speaker B: We. We might have conversations. [00:13:43] Speaker A: I'm excited to see where you're at, John, you are on the board. Thank God I'm not playing. The pick is in sound every time. [00:13:52] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, I want to hear that argument against super. There's only. I'm thinking off the top of my head. There is three other movies. [00:13:59] Speaker A: Yes. [00:14:00] Speaker C: That came out at this time that could. That could have that argument. And I could see if you like this movie over super bad. But it's not. You know, it's like saying one movie's a 95 and the other is a 94. Like, you really can't go wrong with that said. And because it's not in the time period and came out in 2004, which makes it ineligible for this list. The number two pick of the. The second best comedy or the one. A comedy of the 2000s, I think is Anchorman, but we can't choose that. So what I'm gonna go. [00:14:28] Speaker A: I will say this. I wanna. Sorry to step on your toes as an adult. I am an anchorman hater. I think. [00:14:35] Speaker C: Okay. [00:14:35] Speaker A: I'm just like the quoting of it. The quotes are so nonsense to me that, like, maybe it's because I'm also from Southern California and I know people from San Diego. Maybe that's making me a little biased. [00:14:46] Speaker B: You were offended. [00:14:47] Speaker A: Yes, I'm offended on behalf of them. But what is your pick? [00:14:50] Speaker C: Yeah, listen, we're. Listen, we're all allowed to be wrong. Joe's wrong with his super bad. Along with this. It's knocked up for me. [00:14:59] Speaker D: Okay. [00:15:01] Speaker C: And I know that I'm getting. I probably could have gone with another pick that was sort of like a buddy type movie with two older guys that might have moved in together or whatever that was also funny. And another funny guy of this generation. Two funny guys this generation. I think. I think this movie, it just. It, like, super bad causes me to giggle. And I will watch it till its entirety every single time. Seth Rogen is great, but all the ancillary characters. Jonah Hill, Jason Siegel, like, basically the cast offs of Freaks and Geeks. I think everybody was in it. I don't think James Franco was in Knocked up or Linda Cardellini, but, like, the rest of them were, for the most part. [00:15:48] Speaker A: Was Birdie Bird. That's her name. Birdie. Was she in it? [00:15:52] Speaker C: Izzy Phillips. [00:15:53] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:15:54] Speaker C: Probably not. So never mind. So two people from Freaks and Geeks are in it. But anyway, that's the whole three people. Martin Starr, Martin Starr, Seth Rogen and Jason Siegel. Jason Siegel's very funny because he comes off as like, this know it all guy that in actuality is, what, 24 at the time? You know, he plays like the suave older guy. Seth Rogen rolling the dice in the dance scene always gets me every single time. I think Leslie Mann does a good job of playing the. The straight man, and then I just giggle every time they catch Paul Rudd playing fantasy baseball. [00:16:32] Speaker D: He got Matsui. [00:16:34] Speaker C: Yeah, he got mad as Baltimore Orioles stuff. And I just. I don't know why. This is sad but funny at the same time when Leslie Mann just goes, I like Spider Man. Like, I saw Spider Man 3. It wasn't that great. I get why she's crying, but don't cry over Spider Man 3 because you didn't see Knocked Up. I. I would cry if you didn't see that movie. [00:16:56] Speaker A: You can pretend she's crying over Spider Man 2. [00:17:01] Speaker C: Wasn'T great either. [00:17:01] Speaker A: Well, you're. You're all right. [00:17:03] Speaker B: You are so. [00:17:04] Speaker A: You are insane. You are a psychopath. I will say Knocked up was. This is a surprise pick to me. This is not on my board. This is not on my board, so, I mean, I'm surprised. [00:17:25] Speaker C: My other picks will get. Will get chosen. I'll listen to your arguments, but, yeah, go ahead. [00:17:30] Speaker A: I have no arguments for or against. Not enough. It's been a long time since I've seen it. So when I was doing my research, I was like, I'm not intimate with Knocked up enough to make a decision. [00:17:43] Speaker B: Again. There's just. There are other comedies from the time that surpass Knocked Up. I don't think Knocked up holds up as well as Superbad or some of the undrafted comedies that we might get to during this conversation. [00:17:57] Speaker A: It doesn't have to be comedies, but, yeah, we all. [00:18:00] Speaker B: My first pick is Not a Cop. [00:18:01] Speaker A: We all said this is skewing towards comedy because that's what we watched in high school. I feel like I know what Sam's pick's gonna be, but I'm interested to be surprised. [00:18:11] Speaker D: So I. I've got a pick that I feel like I have to make because I don't know if it would get back around to me. If not also, like, a seminal comedy of the era. I don't know if it's aged particularly well, but, you know, if we're talking about movies that we loved while we were in high school, this is absolutely at or near the top of the list for me. And that would be. Or at parentheses 2006 that's. [00:18:38] Speaker A: I, I omitted. I made the socially conscious choice. [00:18:45] Speaker B: My. [00:18:45] Speaker D: High school self here. [00:18:46] Speaker A: No, I respect that. [00:18:50] Speaker D: Like, has that movie aged gracefully? I would argue not in the least. But if we're talking about, I guess sort of like your issue with Anchorman is you have people quoting it every day for Eternity in 2004. That's sort of where Borat was in my sophomore year of high school. So. And also just more in general, just shout out to the Ali G show. [00:19:16] Speaker A: Oh, I do love the. I do love the Ali G for. [00:19:19] Speaker D: The parameters of this draft. [00:19:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Also that's a TV show. [00:19:24] Speaker D: It is. [00:19:25] Speaker A: I will say media, not the quote. I'm gonna quote the Sopranos here. I'm gonna quote AJ in response to Borat. It wasn't fair to the people. You know what? [00:19:36] Speaker D: It was not fair to the people. But I'm surprised movie that I felt like I could not let escape. [00:19:43] Speaker A: No, I, I respect you being true to your high school self. If I wanted to be there, I don't. [00:19:50] Speaker D: I don't think Joe is going to take the movie that no shot. [00:19:53] Speaker B: This is. This Borat pick is like when the Raiders drafted that cornerback in the first round that Mel Kuiper didn't even have in his binder and they turned to Mel and he was like, I have no idea who this player is. [00:20:05] Speaker A: You cannot be like, I have no idea who Borat is. [00:20:08] Speaker B: But I'm saying that's how egregious of a first round pick it was. You take Borax. [00:20:14] Speaker A: I don't think this is an agree. I. I pick. I'm assuming I'm. Well, I woke. I will say. Yeah. Yeah. [00:20:23] Speaker D: I don't even think that Knocked up was the best Jason Siegel movie available to us in the draft. [00:20:27] Speaker A: Oh, I agree with that. 100. [00:20:30] Speaker B: So I agree. [00:20:31] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. [00:20:32] Speaker B: I'm gonna say this. [00:20:33] Speaker A: I want. [00:20:33] Speaker D: It's like Ted said, like number one, I think was a lock for all four of us. [00:20:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:37] Speaker D: Or at least three of us. And then you're going to get some really high value picks throughout the rest of the season. [00:20:42] Speaker A: No. [00:20:42] Speaker C: Yes. [00:20:43] Speaker A: I agree. I want to say I'm woke, obviously. I, you know, but I'm also happy with who we elected president, all that stuff. Please don't put me in the camps. Whatever. Like, Borat was like a cultural moment in like, like, it's. To be like, this is a fourth round pick or like, oh, this wasn't even on. On the radar for number one is insane. I sat for a good five minutes at home on Christmas, making my list, and I was staring at Borat for, like, a while trying to figure out if, like, I'm gonna put this on my list. [00:21:23] Speaker C: So, yeah, no, listen, a couple. A couple points here with Sam and I. I'm in agreement with the lot of it. I felt the same way. I didn't see Borat till it was on demand. Like, here in New York. Yeah. So my whole freshman year, because I'm only a year younger than you, Sam, it was all quoting, and I had no idea the context to it, and I just got annoyed by everyone quoting it in school. So I didn't know whose wife it was. Yeah, I didn't know who's right. Exactly. Exactly. And so I already had two strikes against it. And then I watched it, and similar to Super Bad, it felt like the first movie that was rated R that I was watching with my brother at the time. You know, that. That was like, oh, man, I feel like an adult for watching this. It doesn't age well in 2025. Having said that, though, the jokes are still very funny, and even some of the quotes are still very funny. So, for example, like, you know, the. You will never get this. You will never get this. Like, that doesn't age well. But, like, I don't know, stealing my wife's phone and then, like, running around the apartment screaming, you will never get this is hysterical to me. Like, you could still use that and transfer it to other jokes. That's number one. Number two, like, him. Him walking into the hotel talking like a pimp is, I can't get through it. That's very funny. And, yeah, this suit is not black. Like, I don't know. It's very stupid. It's a street joke, and I can't. I can't help but smile every time I see. It's incredible with all of that. So, yeah, no, this is. I. Obviously, it wasn't my first round pick, but I had it, like, second or third round. I was hoping it would get back to me. [00:23:09] Speaker A: I want to say, like, I have a group of friends. One of them is married. Every time he says my wife in a normal human voice, I always say, without fail, I'm sorry, I. You just said some words. Didn't really understand what you meant. Maybe it was your accent. I didn't understand them. Does the Borat voice, says, my wife, And I go, oh, that's what you said. Like, it is like, you have to, like. It's just like if someone says my wife, you have to say it with parentheses. Borat voice Exactly. Joe. I'm, I am, I'm excited to see the rapper. This is the most important. I cannot wait to hear what this pick is. [00:23:48] Speaker B: So there's a couple different angles I can go here since I have the snake is I can, I can round out the comedy round one to show that we all had a comedy in our first round. But I don't believe, since this is a personal draft of our favorite movies from our high school era, I don't. The comedy, even though it should be a first, is first round eligible, let's say first round grade prospects. It's not my number one pick and it is my, my number one pick is inception from 2010. Inception. Fun fact. So Christopher Nolan is my favorite director. He just come off, he had just come off of the Dark Knight and the Prestige. So that's a hell of a three. That's a hell of a triple header there or a triple crown run. Prestige, Dark Knight into Inception. It came out on my birthday. I had failed my driver's license test that day. I got like no sleep, like sleep deprived like three days in a row. Like it was just like I was having the worst time of my life ever. And I went to the movies and Inception, if those, if you saw it on, you know, a small TV on DVD after it came out, I feel bad for you because that's the way. [00:25:00] Speaker A: You'Re supposed to watch it. [00:25:02] Speaker B: Right? [00:25:02] Speaker A: Right. [00:25:03] Speaker B: So if you saw Inception in theaters, experiencing the twists and the water coming through and everything turning, know, upside down and all of the craziness that happens in Inception, like, it quite literally changed my life. Like Inception made me want to be a filmmaker. It made me want to, you know, start appreciating movies and, you know, started following Christopher Nolan even more at that point. Like I still to this day think Inception is one of the best movies ever made. Not that it's the highest rated movie compared to some of Nolan's other ones, but like the core, what is a movie, what is a moviegoing experience? What is experiencing a big blockbuster moment in, you know, in the theaters. Like, I still think Inception might be the most quintessential, quote unquote, like big screen movie I've ever seen. So I could have went with the, the, the comedies here to round out have all funny haha first round. But I would be doing a DennisService to my 16 year old self if I did not pick Inception. [00:26:07] Speaker A: Do you want me to be honest with you right now, Joe? [00:26:09] Speaker C: Sure. [00:26:10] Speaker A: I was sitting around making my list, saw Inception, I said this is a Joe pick, and I omitted it from my list. [00:26:18] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you. [00:26:21] Speaker A: I'm not a big. Really. I didn't see it until college. Until I was like, well into college. Like, I. It just missed me. So, like, I. I can. I understand the pick, obviously. Like, it, like inceptions 90 would probably. I don't know how I would pick it if I put it on my list, but it's not like a pick for me. But you're being true to yourself, and I respect that. [00:26:54] Speaker B: Now, obviously, do we go on to the next one or. [00:26:59] Speaker A: Yeah, you got your. You got. I'm thinking that. Silence. As Joe, what's your second pick? I will say I didn't know Sam. [00:27:07] Speaker B: You know, Sam had me. [00:27:11] Speaker D: My only. My only Inception question, since you're a big Nolan head, is I'm gonna ask about this movie because it's not in the parameters of 2005 to 2011. Where do you stand on 10 tenant? [00:27:23] Speaker B: I think is a fine movie. I think, like, it is an entertaining watch. I don't think it is as good. Quote, unquote. I'm doing air quotes for our audio podcast here. Good as the other Nolan movies and the. It. I think if, like, if. I don't know if Sam Tidings directed Tenet, people would be going, like, off the walls. This is the craziest, coolest thing ever. But because it's Christopher Nolan, who has so many other bangers that are also about time and confusing story plot lines and. And all these other things like that, there's so much to compare that is better than Tenet in his filmography that people kind of just put it to the wayside. [00:28:08] Speaker A: You know, I want. I really like Tenet, and I like it because it's Chris Nolan taking a swing for absolutely no reason. He does not need to make this kind of movie. He doesn't need to do this. And I think it's cool that he's taking a swing like this. [00:28:24] Speaker B: Yeah. But, like, you could easily say it might be his seventh or eighth best film that he's made. And those the seven ahead of it are all timers. [00:28:33] Speaker A: You know, I'm going to speak for everyone on the podcast here. Chris Nolan has just announced he's making a Odyssey movie. Everyone here knows that the Odyssey, not an American book. We all are familiar that it's a Greek mythology. We're aware of this. We didn't have to Google what the Odyssey is. I know I sometimes come off as very facetious. We. We understand the Odyssey. Is that correct? [00:28:59] Speaker B: Not everyone had the same education system. [00:29:01] Speaker D: You did to read the first four chapters before my first day at Columbia. [00:29:08] Speaker A: Really? [00:29:09] Speaker D: Oh yeah. It's like summer reading for the whole freshman class. [00:29:12] Speaker A: Why didn't my stupid sister tell me that she sucks. I can't help it. Yeah, I know. All right, Joe, second round. Where you at? [00:29:23] Speaker B: I mean, I think this is. I think this is Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase. Because I gotta lock in the Dark Knight. I think the fact that the Dark Knight is not a first round pick. I know, we're, we're funny. Haha. Guys, you spelled Dark Knight wrong. It's only tilting me a little bit. [00:29:38] Speaker A: Don't worry about it. Night. Well, I don't spell it like that. I spell night like it's not okay. [00:29:43] Speaker B: Like good night. Okay, got you. I think this is arguably the best film, most. The best superhero film of all time. Most people would probably say so disrespectful. [00:29:54] Speaker A: To Spider Man 2. [00:29:56] Speaker B: Not according to Perez. I think the, the Dark Knight changed the superhero landscape forever, making it darker and grittier. And people outside of the comic book started getting engaged in the comic book universe because of the Dark Knight. Who knows how Well I know D.C. is not an, you know, darkness on MCU product, but who knows how well MCU would have performed, you know, post in a, in a non Dark Knight world. But everyone got invested in these superhero storylines, these big summer blockbusters. That's. The script is very tight for a very like two and a half hour long film. Keith Ledger, you know, literally died for the performance, for the art of making the best version of. Of the Joker. [00:30:45] Speaker A: I think one of the Osen twins killed him. It wasn't. [00:30:48] Speaker D: Is that what happened? [00:30:49] Speaker B: I think Tony Love did it. [00:30:51] Speaker A: That's why I. No, I think he was just depressed, I think. Was what, what it was. [00:30:57] Speaker B: It made a hell of it made a hell of a Joker. I think to this day I probably watched the Dark Knight at least 20 times in my life. It's just the script is so incredible, the storylines that the amount of times that I quote you live, you either die here or live long. [00:31:15] Speaker A: Yeah. I will say this is the best Batman movie in my opinion. It's like not a contest. I will say. I want to tell a quick anecdote about Rises. Is that the last one? [00:31:36] Speaker B: The third one? [00:31:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I see. I'm seeing this in theater with my family. My sister and I very familiar with how Christopher Nolan sort of casts people. And we knew that Talia Ghul was gonna show up. We knew it was Gonna be. What's her name? [00:31:55] Speaker B: Marion Courtyard. [00:31:56] Speaker A: Yeah. And when she's. And so I'm expecting the betrayal when she. Spoiler alerts when she stabs Batman. There was this, like, elderly couple, like, either behind me or a couple seats down with the loudest audible gasp I had ever heard in a movie. And I was so delighted. [00:32:15] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:32:19] Speaker A: Prez. No thoughts on Dark Knight? [00:32:22] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I was just waiting to get in here. It's a fantastic movie. I really. I thought Joaquin Phoenix did a really good job in. In the current Joker, but, like, we were robbed of a potential Heath Ledger Joker, which would have been fantastic in its own right. Because I really like the first one. No, it's a great movie. I was never a big Batman fan until I watched the Dark Knight. And that's solely because of him. You know, two face in there. Like, it was just. It was just all great. I. I knew nothing about Batman going into it. I mean, I didn't. I didn't become a Batman fan afterwards, but I did really enjoy it for three hours, however long the movie was. I kept pausing it. That was another one that I saw on dvd. Not in the theaters, but. Yeah, let's put a smile on that face. Very quotable. Yeah. It's a shame. It's a shame we lost Heath Ledger, man, because. Because that was probably his best role. Right. [00:33:17] Speaker A: I would say the gay cowboy movie broke back now. [00:33:24] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, true, right? [00:33:26] Speaker B: No, 10. Was it 10 things I hate about you or whatever. When he sings. He's singing. [00:33:31] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:33:34] Speaker B: That'S true. [00:33:34] Speaker C: That was more believable than being a Joker. [00:33:38] Speaker A: All right. [00:33:38] Speaker D: I just remembered every movie is actually a Knight's Tale, which is. [00:33:42] Speaker B: That is a banger. [00:33:44] Speaker A: That is such a. Oh, man, I love. So Knight's Tale, along with another movie I was thinking about, this is another future draft. So I don't want to say the movie that. But nights there, along with that other movie was a mo. Like, where I would just be, like, channel surfing on a Saturday in, like, elementary school, high school, where if I saw that movie on, I'd be like, well, I'm leaving it on this station, and I'm. I'm going to be listening to it while I'm doing other things. Like, I. I would watch that movie. [00:34:12] Speaker B: The issue, though, tidings, is, did Heath Ledger sing any Frankie Valley songs in a Night Tale? [00:34:20] Speaker D: He does dance to a David Bowie song, but I don't think he sings anything in. [00:34:24] Speaker A: Well, he. Well, at least in a night sale. He's sponsored by Nike of course. I want to say also I said Dark Knight's probably the best Batman movie. Sorry, I forgot the Batman exists. And that's my favorite. [00:34:40] Speaker B: I'm happy for you. [00:34:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Thank you, Sam. Second pick. [00:34:45] Speaker D: If you know me well, I think you knew I wasn't gonna let this get away from my. My draft board. That would be 2007's Hot Rock. [00:34:56] Speaker A: Yeah, that was number two on my board. I thought this would be your first pick, so I'm happy to be close to. Right. I assume if you wouldn't had been true to yourself, this would have been your first pick. Just for my own ego sake. Yeah. [00:35:10] Speaker D: Well, this is also like a very true to me. Yeah, I've seen this movie, you know, super bad level number of times I. [00:35:19] Speaker A: Watched this movie on Thanksgiving when I went back home. [00:35:23] Speaker D: Yeah, I watched this movie like maybe a month ago. Also not even in preparation for the draft, but just for the love of the game. Another incredible cast. Obviously Andy Samberg with a real star turn as the titular Rod, but you know the sort of side characters in it. Danny McBride, Bill Hader, will Arnett with a great side role. [00:35:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:53] Speaker D: I'm still not exactly sure how they got. [00:35:59] Speaker A: The guy from. I know who you're asking. [00:36:02] Speaker D: Totally blanking right now. Ian McShane. I have no idea how they got. [00:36:07] Speaker A: I think they explained it on the podcast that like they had just asked for him and whoever plays the mom, like can we just get them? And I think they said yes. Cuz they said on the Lonely island podcast that like Ian McShane would have to like go into his car dressing room to do ADR lines for the show he was in at the time. [00:36:26] Speaker B: Deadwood. [00:36:27] Speaker A: Yeah, Deadwood. [00:36:28] Speaker D: Yeah, he was in Deadwood. And also of course Chris Parnell as the guy explaining how amazing AM radio is. [00:36:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:38] Speaker D: Having the broadcasting rights to the jump at the end. It's just such a great bit. [00:36:43] Speaker B: It's. [00:36:44] Speaker D: It's like one of those movies where like, if you haven't seen it, you probably just heard, oh, it's that movie that is kind of weird and possibly sucks. And then once you watch it, you're like, oh my God, this. I understand why this is one of the best comedies of the 2005-2011 era, which we cherish so much. [00:37:02] Speaker A: Yes, it is. I think it's so like, I didn't see it in theaters. This was a pick where I saw it post high school, but it's number two on my list. I. If I watched it in high school, I would have Loved. Like, it's such an endearing comedy. I feel like people. It was up against Superbad, which I think heard it, I think was a lot of what had to do with it. But I love this movie. [00:37:27] Speaker D: Seven, baby. [00:37:28] Speaker A: Yeah. My favorite moment in this entire movie is when Rod jumps the pool, goes home, and it's. He's fighting. It's when he learns his dad needs the heart surgery. But he walks in and he's seeing all these people hug his dad, and he says to his mom, what is this? Some sort of interactive art piece? It. I know one guy can be that dumb. Like, it kills me. Yeah. This is. If. If this had gotten to me on the wraparound, I would have been floored. [00:38:05] Speaker D: Yeah. I mean, if. If, like, Perez had the number one pick and I had the second pick in the draft or something, I would have taken Hot Rod number two overall. But it was. I'm happy to end up with it. I think it's a key addition to my school. [00:38:20] Speaker A: That is an incredible set. Like, I'm not gonna. I have no notes. Perfect second round pick. Should have gone in the first round. I'll say it, but that's just me. [00:38:29] Speaker B: Well, I mean, what's her face? Isla Fisher. [00:38:32] Speaker A: Yes. [00:38:33] Speaker B: Right. Yes. Cementing yourself as a great city comedy, you know, with. With Wedding Crashers into Hot Rods. [00:38:41] Speaker A: Yeah, that is. That is Mrs. X. Moret right there. [00:38:47] Speaker B: In the same draft, they're gonna have to share the same locker room. [00:38:50] Speaker A: They're gonna have to share the same locker room. [00:38:53] Speaker B: I still. I mean, I don't remember. I've only seen the movie once. [00:38:56] Speaker A: You're missing out, buddy. [00:38:58] Speaker D: But watch it again. [00:38:59] Speaker B: Me? No, I thought it was funny at the time. To me, the most iconic line is the. Oh. Oh, you look pretty. What'd you say? I said, you look shitty or whatever. You know, whatever he says and runs away. Like, I still see that clip all the time, and I die laughing. [00:39:16] Speaker A: Oh, let's also give flowers to. I'm Rod, and I like to party. Yeah, that. That whole exchange, amazing. We're like. It's like, like, like I said, it was up against Superman and it stood no chance. And, like, on it, you know, when it. It premiered. But, man, it was underappreciated. [00:39:36] Speaker D: One other line, I just. I need to get this out there. But a line I think about a ton from this movie is when they're filling up the pool in the backyard before Rod's going to try to hold his water for a whole minute, and Bill Hader just, like, mutters to himself, like, man, pools are great for holding water. And I just. Stupid stuff like that. [00:39:59] Speaker A: I also want to say that like when his sister comes out with like the grape aid or whatever and she's like, where do you. Where do you want me to put this? On the table? What table? It's your backyard too. Is also a great exchange. Bill Hader is fantastic in, in that role. Like, oh, man, that movie is great. John, second pick. [00:40:23] Speaker C: All right. I'm glad that this finally got back to me. And I think I have a chance to get my second and third pick too. For this one, I'm going with forgetting Sarah Marshall. [00:40:34] Speaker A: Oh, there you go. That is not. Go ahead, go ahead. [00:40:41] Speaker C: Getting Sarah Marshall is. It's another one where if it's on tv, I'll watch it till completion. Bill Hader is hysterical. Obviously he's not the main character, but I, I laugh at every scene that he's in. I think this is Jason Siegel's best role. He's in some other. He's in some other good ones too. I don't want to tip any picks, but similar cast too. [00:41:05] Speaker A: You can name a movie because I'm picking it. Yeah, I'm. That's. That will be my pick, but. [00:41:12] Speaker C: Oh, okay. All right, good. So we'll. We'll get to that in a second because chocolate. Not chocolate. But no, I think Paul Rudd's scene is really funny too. I mean, anytime Paul Rudd shows up and forgetting Sarah Marshall, he's great. And then I think they do a really good job of what's she. Kristen Bell does a really good job of blending between being like the, the bratty. I'm trying to think of a non mean word to say, but like, you know, basically like she, she can be funny, but then she's also mean spirited. Paul Rudd scene when Russell. Russell Brand gets hurt on the beach is very funny because it's just like, you know, Kunu call 91 1. All right, bro. Kunu calling them. Oh, all right. All right. X Men. You got it. And then he just. You sound like you're from London, which is really funny to me as well. So that's a great scene. Mila Kunis is fantastic. And then because it's not El. She was great in Ted as well. Ted came out in 2012, so that just falls out there as well. Yeah, no, this is, this is a great movie. This is, I think, one of the best comedies of this era anyway, and similar cast. And this is really where Jason Siegel shines and he's. He's great. And it's always on tv and I just, just so many great iconic and quotable scenes. [00:42:41] Speaker A: Yeah, this is, this isn't my Jason Siegel movie, but it's a good one. I know he wrote it and it's kind of his whole thing, but it's a great movie. I'm glad to see it represented on the list. [00:42:55] Speaker B: I, I've again, this is another comedy. You could kill me. I've only seen once. Just like Hot Rod. I do think it's very funny. I do think Chris Mel M. Kunis are, are good at that time. I didn't, you know, know Mila Kunis for anything outside of that 70s show. I do think the movie's funny, but I do think that there are. I respect your picks and I respect Ted's next upcoming pick, but I think there are some glaring, there's some glaring comedies that are going to be making it to, to having a potential walk on roles on the, on the team after the draft. [00:43:34] Speaker A: I'm. Yeah, you're right. But obviously with my second pick, I gotta go with I love you, man. This is a comedy I did not see in theaters, but saw in high school. I was having a bad day. I was a senior in high school, got into a car accident. I hit a car. Was completely my fault. Family was completely nice. We didn't have to exchange anything. It was a light tap. But I get a text from my friend. He's like, hey, I had a bad day. Do you want to come over? I came over. Another friend came over and he's like, I got into a car accident. So we were all having bad days and we're just kind of sitting around. Hot Rod came on and we would last watch the last half of Hot Rod. And then I love you man started. And I said, and my two friends go, I love this movie. And I said, I've never seen this movie. And they're like, all right, we're going to sit here and watch I love you man instead of doing any of the other things we said we were going to do. Oh, my dad Jones is. [00:44:30] Speaker C: Is criminally underrated. [00:44:31] Speaker A: 100. She's a beautiful woman. [00:44:33] Speaker D: Yes. [00:44:34] Speaker C: Well, yes, but she's also funny. She does a good role. And then, oh, goodness. Who's her best friend? The one that's really into Jason Siegel. Oh, she really cracks me up. Because we all have, we all know women that have friends like that. And when it's not your wife's friend or your girlfriend's friend, it's hysterical. But when you, you know, when your loved One has a friend that's like that. It is nauseating. And she played that to a T. Fitzsimmons is great in it as the father. Right, that. [00:45:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:10] Speaker C: He plays Paul Rudd's father, and then his best friend was Andy Samberg, but then also, I forgot the guy's name who was also invited to the wedding, which is really funny. [00:45:19] Speaker A: That wedding party is the funniest shot. It's like his dad, his brother, that old man he went on a friend date with. And Lou Ferrigno, I believe, is the wedding party. [00:45:33] Speaker C: And then who was. Who was the actor from Reno911 that he went on? That's the guy you're talking about. [00:45:38] Speaker A: No, that's the. I know. The. The name's dancing on the tip of my tongue. [00:45:44] Speaker C: I'll look it up. But you guys go. [00:45:46] Speaker A: But, like, I'm. Yeah, I know who you're talking about. A Todd Lemon or John Lemon. [00:45:51] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, you got it. Yeah. Tom Lemon. [00:45:53] Speaker A: Yeah, it's great. I like. It's just like I. I like. I feel like, you know, I pick two movies that don't need their flowers given to. If you know what I mean. All right, I'm gonna go on to my third pick. [00:46:10] Speaker B: I'll just be honest with you, Ted, real quick. I just want. I haven't even scout. I haven't even scouted this prospect. [00:46:16] Speaker A: That's insane. You're missing out. [00:46:18] Speaker B: I respect your. I mean, on movie. [00:46:21] Speaker D: It was not on my list, but also, I thought. I didn't know how big my draft board had to be. [00:46:26] Speaker A: Yeah. So I'm. I. I think I'm gonna have to go with Tropic Thunder in the third round. Is that legal? Is that happening? I'm committing. [00:46:40] Speaker B: Are you canceled? Is the first episode canceled? [00:46:43] Speaker A: Okay. No. All right. We've been through this. The people have been through this. Like, the point of Robert. Yeah. Robert Downey Jr. Is doing this not to offend. He's a shitty. Like, he thinks in his stupid mind that he's, like, an artist, and he's doing, like, an artist thing, and he's just, like, an idiot for not recognizing it. Like, we're laughing at him for doing it. We're not laughing with him because he's doing it. [00:47:10] Speaker B: I agree with you. I'm just saying the. The social there. [00:47:13] Speaker A: But, yes, we're also around this film. [00:47:15] Speaker B: There's a lot of missing media literacy. [00:47:18] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. Yes. Obviously, we're canceled. Elon Musk quoted this movie. But it's the worst line in this entire movie. And it's the line of Harvey Epstein type says, so it's a whole thing. But I, I will be taking Tropic Thunder with my third pick. I think that's a surprise to me as well, because I didn't think I was gonna pick this, but. [00:47:41] Speaker C: Oh, well, that's a perfect movie and a perfect comedy for that time. [00:47:47] Speaker A: Yes. [00:47:47] Speaker C: Having said that, when you watch this movie, you can sit back and, and get back into your, you know, late 2000s mindset and just enjoy it for what it is. I mean, yes, obviously the big glaring thing is Robert Downey Jr. Are we just gonna gloss over Ben Stiller's character, Tug Speedman? Like, that doesn't age well either. [00:48:08] Speaker A: No. Well, he also plays Simple Jack. [00:48:12] Speaker C: Yes, yes, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, sorry, I'm looking at the wrong Reddit post. Yeah, no, you're right. Simple Jack. [00:48:18] Speaker A: Simple Jack. [00:48:18] Speaker C: Yes. I quote, yeah, I shouldn't have been. Well, it's like when I see a bowl cut, that's the first guy that. [00:48:25] Speaker A: I think I also want to say it's not like, oh, that's bad, but like, in my mind it's like, oh, this guy's trying to do like an Oscar bait movie by trying to do like a serious movie with a guy, you know, but like, oh, but it's just like a for laughs thing is sort of where I fall on it, you know. [00:48:46] Speaker C: Bill hater, fantastic again. And he's got, he's got a funny Tom Cruise story about it too, where he's like, Tom Cruise like, introduces himself and Bill's like, yeah, no, I, I know who you are. And then when they're at the, the red carpet, Tom Cruise is like, oh, man, can you believe we made that film? And Bill Hader goes, I can believe you made it. I don't know what I'm doing here. But yes, I believe that you made it and you're the reason why it got made. [00:49:10] Speaker A: Yes, that's funny. All right, John, third pick. [00:49:14] Speaker C: If I'm right, I think you can look at the third round. Like, I think if you're going to look at our board and not look at the numbers and the rounds that they were picked in, you could make an argument that these movies would be first round movies as well. And I'm torn between two. Don't want to tip picks, but I like this one a little bit more than my second choice. And I'm going with the Hangover. [00:49:35] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:49:36] Speaker C: The Hangover. Very quotable, great cast. Zach Galifianakis is coming out party. I mean, he was, he was a struggling underground comedian that really just took that role to the max. Ed Helms, too little known, you know, like, he was, he was in danger of getting written off from the office. And that really helped his career. Bradley Cooper's Bradley Cooper. He was, he was fantastic in it. But that was like the true. And this is just how stupid of a kid I was. I thought every bachelor party was like that. And in fact, the first bachelor party that I went to Vegas, like, I was just under the impression that there were going to be characters like that. And I think what makes it so relatable, similar to SuperPad, is that we all knew people that had those personalities. You know, you've got the straight man that would get himself stuck on the roof. You have someone who hates his job and is really good looking and like always, oh, don't get married. And you know, you don't want it, it's the death of you. Then you've got someone who's got a controlling spouse and then just the complete outcast that carries the movie and turns out to be better than you were expecting this person to be. So he's great. Ken Zhang is fantastic. I, I still, every time he pops up on the screen, great. And I'm trying to think Chevy Chase is, is fantastic in it. And even this just makes me chase, isn't it? [00:51:01] Speaker A: You're thinking of Jeffrey Tambor. [00:51:03] Speaker C: Jeffrey Tambor. You're right. Jeffrey Tambor. Sorry. Wrong. Wrong Crusty. Yeah. [00:51:07] Speaker A: Wrong canceled person thinking of cancel. [00:51:11] Speaker C: Me. Speaking of cancel, I love the wedding singer who sings Candy Shop at the end. And of course, see, now, here's the thing. I like that they didn't make a movie showing their exploits of that night. It kind of leaves you wanting more. And I hope that they never do that now. I'm sure some streaming service will do that. Who's the, who's the actor from Veep who plays the doctor? [00:51:37] Speaker D: Matt Walsh. [00:51:38] Speaker C: Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh playing the doctor when they go to visit the hospital and he's talking to the old man and he's like, all right, I'll see you tomorrow. And he just shakes his head no at the other guys. Like that. That's always funny. And then when they get interrogated by the cops and then they get Rob Wriggle. [00:51:55] Speaker A: Rob Wriggle, Right. [00:51:56] Speaker C: Rob Wriggle. Yeah. [00:51:57] Speaker B: Not up in here. [00:51:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:52:01] Speaker B: When he kicks that kid's phone. I have never forgotten that child's look over fif the last 15 years of my life. It is the funniest Face. I think Hangover. Bravo, John. You. You got. You got the steel of the draft. That Hangover should have been a first round pick. I think that's. I think it might be one of the. The funniest movies I've ever seen. I respect your super bad pick, Joe. [00:52:26] Speaker A: You. You could have taken it. You took two Chris Nolan movies. [00:52:32] Speaker B: I. That's what I'm saying. I couldn't do it to myself. I couldn't take it. [00:52:35] Speaker A: Sam, third pick. [00:52:39] Speaker D: Third pick is gonna be yet another 2007 movie. I'm gonna go with Walk Hard. [00:52:46] Speaker A: That. Yes, that was Sam. I was. I. I was on the. For my third pick. I was like, do I walk hard or do I go Tropic Thunder and I lean towards. [00:52:58] Speaker B: So proud of you. [00:53:01] Speaker D: It might be some recency bias because I just rewatched this movie recently because one of my friends had never seen it. I was talking about Bob Dylan, Timothee, Chalamet movie, and I was like, please watch this instead. So really just an impeccably funny film, but also just like every, like, movie, bio, or music biopic since then, the only thing I've thought of is like, why does this exist? We already have Walk Hard. [00:53:28] Speaker A: Yes. [00:53:29] Speaker D: Like, apparently there is basically a scene. I haven't seen it yet in the Chalamet Bob Dylan movie where he, like, thinks about his entire life before he goes on stage. And I'm just like, okay, like, what are we doing here? But yeah, 2007, just a monster year for comedies that high school could not. [00:53:49] Speaker A: Get enough of that wild card. Exceptional pick. I. To me. To me. That's the steal. [00:53:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It's one of the most quotable, funniest mov. Like, also, if. For anyone listening, if you have a free 4 hours walk guard by itself is hilarious. [00:54:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:08] Speaker B: If you spend the four hours, which I've done, watching Walk the Line. Or was it not Walk. [00:54:14] Speaker D: Walk the Line. [00:54:15] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:54:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:17] Speaker B: Walk the Line immediately into Walk Hard is some of the greatest four hours of my life I've ever spent. It makes Walk Hard even funnier. [00:54:26] Speaker A: The. Like, I can. I can totally see you. You're right. It was. You can cut yourself in half in an accidental saw fight is such a. Like, I. I die laughing. [00:54:39] Speaker B: It's a song about holding hands. You know who's got hands? The devil. [00:54:44] Speaker A: I. I also do love. What is that? It's weed. You don't want any part of this. Oh, I'm gonna. I'm gonna get addicted. That's the thing. It's not Addictive. Oh, what? I'm gonna OD on it. That's the thing. You can't OD on it. It's a killer. That movie is a straight hitter, man. [00:55:03] Speaker D: Yeah, one of those guys that's. [00:55:05] Speaker B: Shut up. It's out, right? [00:55:06] Speaker A: I don't know. No, because I don't think John C. Reilly's a Apatow guy. [00:55:13] Speaker B: I. I thought, I don't know, I could Google. [00:55:15] Speaker D: And he was a writer. [00:55:17] Speaker A: Oh, he was. He was. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I thought it would be enough. He wrote it with the, with the director. [00:55:24] Speaker B: Gotcha. [00:55:26] Speaker A: All right, Joe. [00:55:29] Speaker B: All right, well, I will take the other comedy. So for how much I love Walk Hard. The two that I thought were first. First round slam dunks with Super Bad were Hangover and Step Brothers. Step Brothers. In this era, you could not, you could not get away from all of the quotes from separately. I was watching Cops, you know, every. Everything. The singing sweet child of mine in the car. Like every single part of Step Brothers is just perfect hilarity. I don't want to spend too much time on it because I'm sure we all agree there, but I. Step Brothers, Easily one of the funniest, most quotable comedies of all time. [00:56:08] Speaker A: No, this is an excellent pick. Quality pick. Got no notes for you, Joe. Finally I can agree on your picks. [00:56:16] Speaker D: Yeah, surprise. Honestly, like, like, Joe, I'm surprised it. [00:56:18] Speaker A: Lasted this long, but value, it's good value. Joe, pick number four. [00:56:26] Speaker B: And then on the, on the wraparound, this, this one. I am. I. Maybe I like dramas more than you guys. I didn't, maybe I didn't read the assignment as well. [00:56:36] Speaker A: Since we have a drama. Yeah, go ahead. [00:56:41] Speaker B: 2006 Oscar nominee the Departed from Martin Scorsese. One of the greatest ensemble casts of all time. You talked about your, your R rated theory or whatever, right? Like the first. I, I think I'd probably seen an R rated movie before it, but Departed is like so R rated with a curse word every four and a half seconds that, like, it's different. Gladiator, which I'd also seen. You know what I mean? So incredible cast, incredible storyline. Scorsese at his finest. You know, people can argue if it's his. His best work or not. I think it's at least in the conversation, even if you don't think it is. And I remember, like watching that movie, completely enthralled. All the twists, the twists at the end, the love, relationships and everything. Just, you know, chef's kiss. And I'm also Irish, so that Helped. [00:57:32] Speaker A: All right, good pick. I not would not be on my list because that's not who I am as a person, but I respect it, but. Sam, fourth pick. What do you got? [00:57:42] Speaker D: Yeah, I think we're about to get a run on dramas here because a lot of the comedies are off the board. I am going with 2009 Inglorious Basterds. I don't know if this is Tarantino's best movie, but it's definitely one of the best moviegoing experiences I've had. It's very. It's just a very satisfying watch. You also just get a lot of big roles out of guys who you don't usually see. And I mean, you could argue it's more of a comedy, but like BJ Novak and guys like that handling dramatic roles. The part where Brad Pitt's trying to fake speaking Italian, Just an absolute classic. [00:58:27] Speaker A: It is a surprising cast for what the movie is. [00:58:31] Speaker D: Yes. [00:58:32] Speaker B: The bar scene with the three with the fingers like they think they're getting out of it. [00:58:37] Speaker D: Yeah. The opening scene, too, is just an absolute. [00:58:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:40] Speaker C: Classic. [00:58:40] Speaker B: Also, I do believe, to your credit, Sam, I do believe it is his most Oscar nominated film of his group. Even if you don't think it's his best, I believe it is the most nominated. [00:58:50] Speaker A: And that's how you measure success. [00:58:54] Speaker D: Which is why I'm working on the Emmy submission for the next month. [00:58:57] Speaker A: I was gonna say as a podcast with at least five Emmys. Six Emmys between us. Yeah. Awards matter. John, fourth pick. Yeah. Scoreboard. [00:59:11] Speaker C: Yeah. This is really tough because. Oh, I got it. All right. I can't believe this wasn't picked. Oh, my goodness. This is the best movie of the draft. And I get it for the last pick. [00:59:20] Speaker A: This is not your last. This will not be. [00:59:23] Speaker D: This is not the last pick, apparently. [00:59:27] Speaker C: I don't know how you guys are gonna beat this. Anyway, so 2011. I'm going with the Social Network. Fuck yeah. In all your faces. I only. I thought that this was a podcast just for comedies. I looked it up. Now I got the Academy Awards list in front of me. There's no better screenplay. [00:59:44] Speaker A: There's no better cast. [00:59:46] Speaker C: There's no better storyline. This is a perfect movie. It is the best movie on the list. I can watch it time and time again. You'll get your. Hold on. I still have the floor. This is a fantastic movie. They play Zuckerberg really well. It was very true to the book Dumb Billionaires, I think was the name of it, or I forgot exactly what it was the book about. Facebook. And I wish that there was a second and third part that Sorkin had a chance to really dive into, because they did a really good job of portraying Facebook in the early stages. The theory, what some would say by Zuckerberg, I don't think that he stole Facebook, but I think that he did take some ideas with it. And they do a really good job casting Garfield as Eduardo Saver and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker. Especially if you read the book, they're pretty close to how it went. And you feel a little empathetic for Eduardo Saverin, who just got hosed out of the whole Facebook ordeal. Like, he got a pretty penny, but he still got hosed out of it. And you. You know, he's. He. He lost to his only friend. Arnie Hammer plays two good roles with one. With one. Yeah, man. And then the scene that I just always giggle at, too was, oh, man. When that guy said the next Bill Gates can be in here, who do you think? Who was that guy? It was Bill Gates. So, yeah, that was really funny. And then Macaulay Culkin's life is in it too. [01:01:09] Speaker A: Brenda Song, she sucks off Eduardo Song. [01:01:13] Speaker B: That is London Tipton for you from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Not right. Yeah. [01:01:19] Speaker A: Yes, that. I love, love, love, love, love the Social Network. [01:01:23] Speaker B: It is. [01:01:24] Speaker A: I watch it every Halloween because it's the perfect scary movie. [01:01:28] Speaker B: There's. You can. [01:01:29] Speaker A: You can watch this movie and you can pinpoint the exact moment Donald Trump was elected president for the first time. [01:01:37] Speaker B: It's like, ah, let me sell this Halloween marathon. We'll go Nightmare Before Christmas. Hocus Pocus. Social Network. [01:01:45] Speaker A: The. It's so. I love the Social Network. The moment where Andrew. Andrew Garfield's the best actor in this entire movie. Let's, like, call his betas. Like, he is perfect in this movie. The, like, the screaming monologue is like, he is on like, a man on fire, man possessed in that scene. He is fantastic in it. And when he does that, I love standing next to you. It makes me feel tough. Ooh, I get chills. I love, love, love the Social Network was gonna be one of my next two picks. [01:02:16] Speaker B: Yeah, Ted got sniped. [01:02:17] Speaker A: I. For sure I got sniped. I thought I was about to have the steel of the century come out like a bandit. [01:02:25] Speaker C: All right. Last pick of the draft. [01:02:27] Speaker A: This is not the last. Yeah, yeah. [01:02:29] Speaker D: Great opening scene. Great soundtrack. It was not on my list because I'm staying true to my lived experience. That movie came out when I was in college. [01:02:36] Speaker A: True. I have the soundtrack On I have a. The soundtrack on vinyl. I'm a Trent Reznor slut. No, I have nothing else to say. I'm gonna stick to another comedy. It's the Other Guys. Oh, I love so Super Bad is Super Bad is a lot is number one on comfort movies. The other guys is right behind it. This is I buddy cop movie with Will Pharrell and Mark Wahlberg of Wahlburgers. It's. I love everything. Every line out of Steve Coogan's mouth is a gem. Like, just like everything. I love this movie so much. [01:03:24] Speaker B: Movie revitalized Michael Keaton's career with the. With the TLC references. [01:03:30] Speaker A: It's so. I love this movie. [01:03:32] Speaker B: Oh, I stick to the rivers in lake Juniors too, kid. [01:03:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Rapes are up 15. Sorry. This is for my other job. But, you know, be careful out there. It's so good. All right, I'm gonna now I will go. Maybe I depends how you want to feel. I'm gonna go a little off type here. Not a comedy. Depending on. [01:03:53] Speaker D: And this is your final pick, right? [01:03:54] Speaker A: This is not my final pick. [01:03:56] Speaker C: No. [01:03:56] Speaker B: There's six rounds. We've picked four each. [01:03:58] Speaker A: Yes. I'm gonna go Burn After Reading. I feel like the Cohen brothers. [01:04:06] Speaker C: Why? [01:04:06] Speaker A: Are you sick? [01:04:08] Speaker D: Because that was gonna be my next. [01:04:11] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah, absolutely. I'm a like as much I for on the soundtrack. I am a Trent Reznor slut. On the writing and directing. I am a Coen brothers slut. I think they have not done me wrong. So I feel like I. They need to get given their flowers. John. Next pick. [01:04:38] Speaker C: I never saw Burn After Reading. I heard good things about it. [01:04:41] Speaker A: It. It's a lot of fun. [01:04:44] Speaker C: I might. I think I might be stealing from Sam again. I'm gonna go with the town. Town is a great movie without the love story in it. Young Blake Lively. The Ben Affleck's fantastic. And then Renner Renner steals the show. Like he's. He's great. Who's Kawi taken like that's that. That's who you want your best friend to be like. Just doesn't ask any questions. So obviously the Fenway Park. Fenway park scene is iconic and how they try and get away with it. But their first bank robbery and how they're switching masks and I think even the part of the movie movie which is true in real life, a cop told a story where he saw a bank robber a brink a car full of bank robbers with either was assault rifles or heavy machinery. And he just looked the other way and like that is a true story. And that's very scary that there are people out there and cops are like, you know what, I'm alone. I'm sorry. But you gotta make a business decision that. Yeah, good luck out there. I hope it works for you. Spoiler alert at the end when they get Renner, even him just taking the sip of coke before that is that it's hilarious. [01:06:01] Speaker D: I'm sorry. Makes. [01:06:01] Speaker C: Yeah, no, it's great. And then even the scene where, what was the other scene where Ben Affleck is with, with the woman that he's interested in and Renner comes up from behind and he has to hide the tattoo. That's a good scene. Yeah. No, the town is fantastic and it's one of my favorite movies that all these movies that I've picked so far. I'll watch if they're on TV or if I've got nothing to watch, I'll pop them on. [01:06:31] Speaker A: Same, same. Sam, the. [01:06:33] Speaker B: Well, I just wanted to say go down the great, the greatest fake street address movie address of all time where multiple times throughout the movie Ben Affleck says, I live on 555 Sycamore Street. You know, so it's like, you know, they just made that up for the movie. [01:06:49] Speaker A: Yeah. All right, penultimate pick for you, Sam. What is it? [01:06:54] Speaker D: I'm going back to the class of 07 here. No country for Old Men. [01:06:59] Speaker A: That was, I figured that would be picked. This is, it's a class, you know, I have nothing to say about it. [01:07:08] Speaker D: An all time terrifying villain. I've never coin tossed the same way. [01:07:19] Speaker A: I almost picked a different Paul Dano movie. [01:07:22] Speaker D: Yeah, I, I don't know if that's going to get back to you, but. [01:07:25] Speaker A: O I, if you take it, I respect you. Joe, your final two picks, what are they? [01:07:32] Speaker B: Go back here. I think I, I think you know, we're in the late rounds. I'm looking for, I'm looking for late round value more than you know, what I like the most. So I'm going to switch it up here, try to get some value picks and one of. I'm a big gamer, I'm a big nerd. Everybody knows that. And so I'm going to take Scott Pilgrim versus the world. Funny movie. I've probably seen it like 10 times in my life. It gets funnier and funnier every time I watch it. All the different like musical references and other gaming references and just like the quick one liners. Another fantastic ensemble cast. Like a lot of people at the beginning of their careers, you know, kind of before they were super famous. In this movie, you had Brie Larson as the ex girlfriend. You had what's her face from Parks and Rec. AUB Aubrey Plaza and a Kendrick, Kieran Culkin. Anna Kendrick Kieran Culkin as the roommate. Like just an incredible, hilarious. And the music is awesome. The action is awesome. I think Edgar Wright, such a phenomenal director. I don't know if anyone else has seen Scott Pilgrim, but this was the. [01:08:46] Speaker C: I was gonna pick it. [01:08:47] Speaker A: So, yes, this was the last movie I saw with my high school friends. We did a back to back showing of this and the Expendables and I walked out of the theater saying I liked Expendables more. [01:09:02] Speaker C: World that I. I just love. Number one is. Number one is when they're going back to the apartment and they just play the Seinfeld sting, which is pretty fun. And then I love when he's just talking to Ramona and they're talking about bread and he just goes, bread makes you fat. I. I bring that up every time I eat bread. No, that's a great pick, Joe. It. I like the movie so much that I actually bought all the comics from Barnes and Noble I still have and I wanted to read them so bad that like I bought the first three that were in black and white and then the fourth one was in color and the rest were in black and white. So like I have, you know, the first three, I have one in color. The others are all in black and white. But it's great. The video game is pretty fun. Yeah, no, they. They did a really good job with, with the movie and. [01:09:53] Speaker B: Yeah, and the music. [01:09:55] Speaker C: Yeah, music soundtrack is good. And I can't think of another person maybe Jesse Eisenberg, but it's really Michael Cera. Like he is the perfect Scott Pilgrim. [01:10:05] Speaker A: Well, my favorite, my favorite story about that movie is Sarah had to play down his bass playing abilities to be shitty because he was already an exceptional bass player and canonically the band is a not good band, so he had to play bad. I think that is very nice. All right, Sam. [01:10:28] Speaker B: Well, Joe, I was just say it's for. For Perez's bread makes you fat line like that for me from the movie is chicken's not vegan. When he gets his third strike as a. And the vegan police come after him. Yeah. Love the movie. My final pick now this is again, I'm going, I'm going with my offensive coordinator. He's. He's all in on this. I might not be in. Like, I do enjoy the film, but I'm going with the team. I'm trying to draft the most well rounded, you know, team here of movies and quite frankly, it's shocking that a bunch of baseball fans and baseball. [01:11:06] Speaker A: I'm going to boo your pick. [01:11:10] Speaker B: Have not selected Moneyball until the sixth round. So I'm taking Moneyball. Moneyball. Brad Pitt, one of the first Jonah. Jonah Hill's first serious roles, nominated for an Oscar, phenomenal movie. Made the plebs, made the normies understand what analytics like my mom understands how analytics works because she watched Moneyball with me. So the, the layman person now understands what ruined baseball and what did the irreparable damage that the Okones win. That John Perez likes to let everyone know they did not win, did not win a single playoff series with the Moneyball strategy. But regardless of if they want or not and if they ignore Miguel, to Honda winning MVP and having three Cy Young caliber pitchers and only talk about the backup players that got you on base. [01:11:59] Speaker A: The fact that Tim Hudson, Tim Hudson's one reference in that entire movie is when like he's playing cards and Brad Pitt says something to him is I think such a misjustice to how good he was for that team. [01:12:12] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, they had the Cy Young and MVP and they're like, I think our backup first baseman that occasionally walks is the reason we won. We won all this. [01:12:20] Speaker A: But anyways, I'm going to boo you. You get the boo. Obviously there were no sound effects. Technically, there are no wrong picks. Except this one. Sam, your last pick. I think I should start typing it. I believe I know what it is. [01:12:33] Speaker D: I'm going to leave that one for you. I did just want to say with Moneyball. [01:12:36] Speaker A: Oh, no, I might not take it. I'm not taking it. I'm not taking that pick. [01:12:39] Speaker D: Okay. Moneyball came out when I was in college and so I saw when I was in New York and at the very beginning of that movie, it starts with the Yankees knocking the A's out of the playoffs and everyone in the theater started hooting and hollering, which was hilarious. Yeah, love New York. I am going to actually pass on the other Paul Dano movie. I'll save that one for honorable mentions. [01:13:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:13:04] Speaker D: Because I need to be true to myself. I'm going to take 2008 in Bruges. [01:13:08] Speaker A: Oh, that's also on my list. [01:13:11] Speaker D: Gotcha. [01:13:12] Speaker A: That's a great pick. Great. Bad. That is a value pick if I've ever seen it. [01:13:20] Speaker D: Getting, getting that with my last. [01:13:22] Speaker A: Yeah, we're the only two that have Seen this. You guys haven't seen in Bruges Nothing. [01:13:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm drawing a blank here. [01:13:28] Speaker A: You guys are missing out. [01:13:32] Speaker D: I feel like everyone needs to watch all the movies on this list that we haven't seen. [01:13:37] Speaker A: Yes. Probably won't be that many. Yeah. [01:13:40] Speaker D: Absolute banger Colin Farrell at the height of his powers. [01:13:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:13:43] Speaker A: This, it's. Man, it is such a gripping story. Like, it. Like the story kills me. [01:13:49] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:13:51] Speaker A: John, last. Officially your last pick. [01:13:55] Speaker C: All right. Sorry to go back to Moneyball. [01:13:57] Speaker D: My mom. [01:13:58] Speaker C: We saw that in the theaters with my brother, my mom and I. And she asked why the Mets don't do that. And I said, they try. And my mom thought that everybody in baseball. Well, why would you swing? Just walk. And I said, okay, mom, you got it. Well, we'll pass that along. This is really tough for me because I wanted to pick either Moneyball or Scott Pilgrim. So, Joe, kudos to you. [01:14:20] Speaker B: I'm in your head. [01:14:22] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm gonna pick. I don't know. I just like this movie for no other reason than I like it. And I'm just going with Hot Tub Time Machine. [01:14:32] Speaker A: Ooh. That was a late addition to my list. [01:14:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Listen, it's not the best movie. It is funny at times. I can't name any of those actors, with the exception of Cusack and. And Craig Robinson. It's just. It's very. [01:14:49] Speaker D: Lizzie Kaplan's in it, I think. [01:14:52] Speaker C: Yeah. She plays. Yeah. [01:14:54] Speaker A: Rob Corden is also the main. Like, he's also a guy. Sure. [01:15:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Listen, it's a fun movie. It's a fun movie. I enjoy it. It makes no sense, and it's just laugh out loud fun. So I'm going with Hot Tub Time Machine. [01:15:10] Speaker A: That's a great pick. Oh, man. All right. [01:15:13] Speaker D: Also a great example of somebody saying the name of the movie in the movie. Yeah. And staring directly at the camera. One of my favorite bits of the whole. The whole franchise, really? [01:15:26] Speaker A: The. The whole two movies. [01:15:28] Speaker D: I thought there was a third one. [01:15:29] Speaker A: But there's a third one. [01:15:31] Speaker B: Hot. [01:15:32] Speaker D: Tough time to see cinematic universe. [01:15:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:36] Speaker D: There's not a third one. [01:15:38] Speaker A: Okay. [01:15:39] Speaker B: Teddy got into strong here. [01:15:41] Speaker A: I think I'm Mr. [01:15:43] Speaker B: Irrelevant. [01:15:44] Speaker A: So I was gonna draft Mystery Team, the Derek Comet movie. [01:15:48] Speaker D: That's on my. [01:15:50] Speaker A: I was gonna draft that, but I'm stunned. This movie's here at. At the last pick. I'm going Hot fuzz. Yeah. Because, like, I can't believe that's sitting there. I'm assuming the other Paul Daniel flick was Little Miss Sunshine. Correct me if I'm wrong. [01:16:08] Speaker D: No, it was There Will Be Blood. [01:16:11] Speaker A: Oh. Because Little Miss Sunshine was like, was was on my list and I watched that one recently and I was like, wow, it really holds up. But I mean, Hot Fuzz is just like. I don't know if, like, between Sean and Hot Fuzz, it's hard to pick my favorite. I think I lean. [01:16:31] Speaker D: I was gonna say, if Shaun of the Dead had come out in 2005, that would have gone in the first two rounds. [01:16:36] Speaker A: Oh, 100. No, I agree. I, I like Hot Fuzz. It's a, you know, it's a lot like, I prefer, oh, man. Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright in these kind of movies and say the big bigger ones of Scott Pilgrim, but like, oh, you know, I like him in these kind of like, little kitschy, like, very like, time capsule, like, barely parody movies, if you want to call them that. I think like, Hot Fuzz is just like a great, like, cop movie. It's a good cop movie. And I know I picked two movies where cops are the main characters. You just so you know, I'm a big Mayor Adams guy. That's my guy. But I, I think, I feel like I can't let this draft end without Hot Fuzz being picked. And that will do it for the high school. They will be a poll on under the video description, under the podcast description in the social media post for you to vote on who drafted the best series of movies. [01:17:49] Speaker D: We'll see and then do some honorable mentions. [01:17:51] Speaker A: Yeah, I was, I want, I wanna, I wanted to do that part first and then we can get into glaring omissions just so everyone knew the game, how the game's played. So vote winner will get to write a question for the next episode. Now. Glaring omissions. I think a little Miss Sunshine and there will be blood up there. Right. [01:18:17] Speaker B: I think it's an embarrassment that Toy Story 3 wasn't drafted. [01:18:20] Speaker A: I've never seen, I've never seen everyone had six picks. [01:18:26] Speaker D: I feel like you can't be like, oh, it's like you, you had a chance. You could have picked. [01:18:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:18:30] Speaker D: Didn't need to put money. [01:18:31] Speaker A: That's why I like, I had to. [01:18:33] Speaker B: Put money ball for the bit. [01:18:35] Speaker A: I didn't know I, I, I did boo you. I respect you for the bit, but I had to boo you. [01:18:44] Speaker C: I would make the argument that two people in this draft had opportunities to draft either one of their picks with either one of their picks. Any, like, they had two chances in one round and they didn't. [01:18:58] Speaker D: Not glaring a missions, just here's the List of stuff from my draft board that didn't get picked. A lot of it did, obviously, because I think we're a lot of like minded individuals. Jackass 2 2006. [01:19:13] Speaker A: Hold on. Quick question about Jackass 2. Is that the one with. [01:19:20] Speaker D: That's what we eats the poop. [01:19:21] Speaker A: No. Is that the one with. What's it called? Terrorist Taxi? Yes, yes, that is. That is right. That glarial mission, that should have been big. That is an all timer jackass bit. That is such a perfect show ender. And I. It kills me every time I watch it. [01:19:44] Speaker D: That was. That's a great one. There Will Be Blood. I mean, I liked it, but not as much as in Bruges Cloverfield 2008. You guys are gonna make fun of me for this, but crank that, Jason. [01:19:58] Speaker A: No, Crank rules. Crank slaps. Crank rules. [01:20:00] Speaker D: He has to keep his heart rate up. It's like speed, but for your heart. [01:20:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:20:04] Speaker D: Incredible, incredibly stupid movie that I Love Mystery Team 2009. [01:20:09] Speaker A: If you've. I. I mean, yeah, Mystery Team was like. I really wanted to pick it, but like I'd feel like I couldn't not pick Hot Fuzz. I feel like I like Mystery Team way more. But for the common man I picked. Yeah, no one's fuzz. [01:20:24] Speaker D: Yeah, no one's gonna support you on that one. Except for me. [01:20:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:20:27] Speaker B: Role model. [01:20:28] Speaker A: Oh, that's a great, great pull. [01:20:32] Speaker B: Another. [01:20:35] Speaker D: 2007. [01:20:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:20:36] Speaker D: And then my last one, the documentary the King of Kong. A Fistful of Quarters. [01:20:43] Speaker A: Oh, yes, yes. [01:20:45] Speaker D: Also features an all time shitty bad guy. Except it's a real person, which makes it better. But I don't. I don't feel bad about picking any of my six over those. But yeah, that was just the rest of my draft board. For transparency's sake. [01:21:01] Speaker A: My draft. Rest of my draft board. I've knocked off the ones you mentioned. Sam. Larry's in the Real Girl. I'm a huge. I'm a huge gosling slut. Like, I'm a big fan. I like when he plays funny, weird guys. If nice guys had come out in that time period. Yeah, like that would have been like a surefire up there. Pick for me, Moon. Also. I'm a big Rockwell guy. Like that guy could be in anything. And I will watch it. Moon's Fantastic Gentleman's Broncos. It's like a really obscure comedy. That's why I didn't pick it. I had easy a. I thought that was an interesting. [01:21:45] Speaker B: That's a great movie. [01:21:46] Speaker A: Yeah. And I have a indie film. I had to. I Wanted. I was debating if I would pick this. It's Jeff, who lives at home. It's a Duplass Brothers flick. And I had Hugo, which makes me cry every time I watch it. [01:22:02] Speaker B: I don't. I don't have, like, big lists. I had a bunch of stuff written down from the years, but I wasn't actually, like, gonna draft some of them. But as Ted, as the Gosling that I know him to be, I am surprised you didn't pick Drive, because it is. [01:22:17] Speaker A: I'm not. I don't. I don't like Drive. [01:22:20] Speaker B: You're not as much of a go slut as I thought. [01:22:22] Speaker A: No, I prefer. Like I said, I like him when he's the weird, funny guy. [01:22:26] Speaker B: I think you should appreciate Ryan Gosling in all forms. [01:22:29] Speaker A: I do. But I like it more when he's the weird, funny guy. It's why I like Lars and the real girl. It's why I love the. The nice guys. [01:22:37] Speaker B: So. So Drive was potentially on my list. Toy Story 3. I had mentioned Slumdog Millionaire. Crazy movie if you've never seen it. [01:22:46] Speaker A: Oh, I watched that incredible movie. So I'm doing a thing with my friends where I'm watching the TV show Community, and after every episode, we're watching everything referenced in that episode. We had to watch Slumdog Millionaire. So I watched it for the first time and I said, wow, this is a fantastic movie. How did I never see this before? [01:23:04] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It is truly inspirational and incredibly well made. Then Children of men, Alfonso Caron, 2007. Highly recommend if you've never seen that. One of the greatest. Like, he's a phenomenal. He's got to make Gravity and Prisoner of Azkaban and a bunch of other things. Phenomenal movie about humanity going infertile and one woman becomes pregnant and Clive Owen has to try to save her and help her deliver the baby to help him. Yeah, it's. It's phenomenal. And if I did not tick Moneyball for the bit, I was going to draft a video game movie, which is Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children, which. [01:23:47] Speaker A: Than Moneyball, I'll tell you that. [01:23:50] Speaker B: The sequel or post. I guess post game of the Final Fantasy VII storyline with Cloud and Tifa and everybody. [01:23:58] Speaker A: John, what was left on your board? [01:24:02] Speaker C: Yeah, it was between Role Model Hot Tub, Time Machine for my last pick. So I'm glad that that got some shine at the end. I'm trying to think. I mean, everything else was pretty much picked. A little bit of sunshine was mentioned, which was good. Spider Man 2 was great. Spider Man 3, also good. You know what it was? Yeah, I kind of. Well, so I started high school September of 06 and I didn't know, like, if that counted since it was we. [01:24:31] Speaker A: So like, like I said, it was just years. And then you're all of us. You can make. You can make any parameters. [01:24:40] Speaker D: Yes, you want. [01:24:42] Speaker C: Yeah, I made the full years. I went from 7 to 11 because. [01:24:45] Speaker A: Well, mine's pretty close. I think the Other Guys is the only movie on my list that is not when I. When I. I did not see it in high school and it did come out when I was in high school for me. Yeah, I kept it pretty close to where I was at high school wise because I thought that'd be more representative to me. What's the. [01:25:09] Speaker C: I'm happy with my picks and I can't wait to see me win this poll. [01:25:13] Speaker A: What's the. You're not gonna win, buddy. Knocked up. Really? It's a crazy pick. [01:25:23] Speaker C: I know. But then I made up for it and got stronger as the rounds. [01:25:27] Speaker A: Hey, that's Social Network hangover. [01:25:28] Speaker B: Social network. [01:25:33] Speaker D: 20 or whatever. [01:25:33] Speaker A: Yeah, no Social Networks. I was gonna. I like, that was on the tip of my tongue. I was ready to spring it on. I was like, I'm about to slam dunk night, everyone. Passing on Clayton Kershaw in this draft. I'm about to get him. And. Nope. Unfortunate. But man, that's a shame. I would have loved Social Network. I love that movie. But that wasn't. It was number seven on my draft board, if you're keeping track at home. [01:26:04] Speaker D: I hope somebody is. [01:26:06] Speaker A: Yes. Well, we have all this. Can't wait to see how people vote. It'll be very interesting to see how nostalgic people. How. How much nostalgia rules people's voting interest. I know it did back in November when people said I was better off four years, four years ago than I was today. Which insane thought process to have. Don't know how you got there, but, you know, here we are. So can't wait to see where the votes lie. Thank you. [01:26:38] Speaker B: Great first episode, Ted. [01:26:40] Speaker A: Right? [01:26:40] Speaker D: I hate to see this one get published. [01:26:42] Speaker A: I. Hey, there were no other recordings. Like I said, they don't. If somehow you have these recordings, don't know how, please send them to me. Would fucking love them, but you know, they don't exist. They never happened. This is officially the first episode of the Yapoff podcast. Thank you so much for listening. I hope you had a great time. I was your. I'm your forever host, Ted Trinacasta. And the last piece of media I watched was Seinfeld. The contest.
