"The zemeckis movie. But not the GDT one. I did see the GDT one. I gotta find somebody to talk to about that on this podcast. Is that animated? Maybe Charles will speak with me about it. It's stop motion animation. But that's not, is Downey in one of these? No. Okay. He was going to he was going to do a Paul Thomas Anderson. Which that would have been really something would have been very common. But as you might imagine, the gear module movie also was like Pinocchio was a fucked up story. Yeah. It's very dark and weird and sad. Not that you guys would be willing to do it. So is the boxer? I really stopped listening, but did you see Anastasia? It's one of Eileen's favorite animated films. I did see Anastasia in 1997 and thought it was good. Do you know about anesthesia? Is it, do you know about the myth of Anastasia? I can't say that. Lost romanoff sister? Oh, I knew it was Russian, yeah. Yeah, because I mean it's pretty grim. She wanted to exile, right? Well, they're just like some missing bones, basically. Yeah, and so there's been this long history of is there like a Romanov sister among us and then Anastasia was the animated version of that happy ending. The director of that movie is a man named Don bluth, who is like one of the only people of that generation who left Disney in the late 70s and was like, I'm going to strike out on my own and make animated movies and he's one of the only people who had success. He made Anastasia the land before time the secret of nim in all dogs go to heaven. And an American tale, all of which were successful movies. But it was such a, they had such a stranglehold on that style of storytelling. It's one of the few that broke through. We didn't talk about the rainmaker. Oh yeah. I just didn't mention it. You're just super horny for Matt Damon on this episode. Sorry, again, I turned 13 in 1997. Did you say the reindeer? Did you read John Grisham books back then? I did read John Grisham books. I don't know if I ever read the rainmaker. I was allowed to read the firm at the age of like 9 or ten. I just, I have some questions about the parents in my life, but also loved it. Kris you know who directed the rainmaker? Francis Ford Coppola, right? That's why I was like, we didn't even mention the rainmaker. And obviously this is just sort of like a sidebar to Matt Damon's wonderful 1997 and good will hunting and all of that. This is also like there's a bunch of sliding doors like Edward Norton met with Coppola to do the rainmaker and Coppola was like, it seems like you're more interested in making American history X you should go do that. That's true. That's true. So who knows if we would have gotten dunk in American history acts if he had gotten this role? Can I do one last impression with some more voice work? This is my impression of Amanda's dad while escorting her to the rainmaker. Okay. Look, but don't touch. Touch. But don't taste. Okay, you feel good about your draft? I do. Yeah, we got a recap. So the way to recap now is to go buy person. So Amanda, why don't you tell us the 6 films that you got in this draft? In drama, I have good will hunting in comedy. I have Men in Black in Oscar nominee. I have a film named Titanic. In action horse thriller, I have Air Force One in blockbuster. I have my best friend's wedding, and in wild card I have loved Jones. Chris Ryan. In drama, I have LA confidential in comedy. I have gross point blank. An Oscar nominee. I have Jackie Jackie Brown. When did we start doing these voices? Keep going. In action, I starship troopers in blockbuster drive con air and in wild card. I took the boxer. In drama, I have the game in comedy I have Austin Powers international man of mystery in Oscar nominee. I have boogie nights and an action horror thriller. I have event horizon in blockbuster. I have face off and wildcard I got the devil's advocate. Good draft certainly feels like Amanda trucked us. Yes, I smashed this. Which is great. This is good. You need to bump your numbers up a little bit. These are rookie numbers, you have right now you need your condescension. And I am winning in the game of life, you know? And that's the one that matters. Okay. Amanda, Chris, thank you. Thank you to Bobby Wagner. What's next for us? On the draft horizon. How will you continue to iterate this popular property? Are we doing too much or not enough of the draft? Is something I've been thinking about? Yeah, people love the dress. We've done a couple of we've introduced auctions over the last couple of years. We do those twice a year. Aren't we almost due for another option? Our auction comes in January. Probably the second week of January. Okay. We've introduced upside down drafts, which I thought went terribly, and then people said they liked it. So that's notable. We did genre, we did the horror. We've done some genre stuff, which I think was successful. The people were mad about all the 80s comedies that we didn't draft. I think there's been an increased call to expand the draftees. Which is something we'll think about. There's a couple of people I'd like to get involved. Sam Smith wants in. Seems like he's got a lot of thoughts on podcasting. Yeah, I wonder who gave him a platform to do that. The next draft that we're going to do is the three of us. And it might be the last time it's just the three of us for a little while, but it three years will have passed since 2019, which is one of the best movie years we've had in a while. So I'd like to wait three years before we hit a recent year. Okay. Wow. So 2019 will be our December draft. Are we going to do it in person? I'd certainly like to. Yeah, we got to start planning ahead on that one. It's our holiday treat though. It will run right around. Right, right. But what we can do it beforehand before everybody sets off on their team. Remember when we did the holiday draft and then we had just like, it was like a non movie wild card thing you could have. That was cool. I mean, I'm also, would you like to pitch ideas? You guys, is there something kind of draft you want to do? No, we are just curious, you know? We like a look into your mind. You're more open these days, you're willing to, you know, share the process and you know, forget about the vagaries of, oh, thanks to a man and thanks to Chris, see you next week on the show. Like, Chris, you mean the world to me. You're someone who I think really changed my life. Amanda, you've helped me come to a new stage of my professional personal life. I feel like I have evolved tremendously because of the amount of time I've spent with you. And I want to say thank you, Bobby. Yeah. Who started out as just a young pup at the ringer, and now is really my partner. He helps us make this show without him there is no show. And so I want to extend my gratitude to him as well. And with that, the movies. I'll see you at the movies.

"14th, 1997, CE with the movies. Batman Robin? Did you see that one in theaters? I did see it in theaters. What'd you think? I thought Chris O'Donnell was really hot in 1997. I still hadn't given up on Chris O'Donnell. I guess the rest of the world had not either. So that was my main response, but telling that I went to see Chris O'Donnell and not George Clooney. That's interesting. Also, Alicia Silverstone was in it, and she was clearly important to me. I mean, you know, not good, but I saw it. Yeah. Uma played poison ivy. That was fun. George of the jungle came out that year? Missed that. That was the Brendan Fraser film. So Chris let me ask you this the whale is coming out. I do know that about a month. Yeah, I saw the trailer trailer. I've seen the film. I was thinking we would do a Brendan Fraser Hall of Fame episode to talk about him because he is the whole, he's really the story of that movie in many ways. And Brendan Fraser has since become, I think, even though he was a very successful movie star in his time in his prime. Has become even more of a cult object in part because of the mummy, which is like a really beloved movie with that same group of that you're talking about that loves gattaca. Do Amanda and I, is there enough for us to do a proper Hall of Fame for Frasier and I'm sort of asking this out loud to hear from listeners as well. I think it would be maybe you would have to change the parameters. So the Hall of Fame is like what you select movies. I'm sure you can figure it out. Did he disappear for a long period of time? Or was it like was he working in B movies or? Yeah, I mean, he didn't work very much. You can read the work of Zach baron. So very gifted journalist working at GQ. It was written a feature about Brendan Fraser, where he went. Have you heard of Zac yeah? Okay. But he went away for a long time. I mean, it doesn't seem my choice. I know. I just didn't know if he was like, but that was literally the time. It was whatever happened to Britain. I mean, I was more setting it up for like, what could you do with that sort of blank space? And what could you do with maybe, I mean, the other thing I'm really biased, like I am just like rooting for Brendan, but I didn't really, I didn't see George of the jungle, you know? Well, this is sort of what I mean. I was like, whatever. But like I haven't seen Dudley do right. Some of the kids stuff have exactly. I'm pretty shocked by something that happened on this draft. You didn't pick lost highway. I just did a pot of it. To your point, when you said I don't want to talk about something that I've talked about a lot, I just didn't, I just did an hour and a half long conversation about it. I mean, it's one of the scariest films ever made. David Lynch's 1997 horror domestic drama. Noir, I guess, very upsetting movie, brilliantly made just recently reissued by the criterion collection. I think I just said it all. Did you have that soundtrack? No, but you're not a Nine Inch Nails guy. Not really. They were so good. Trent Trent in the 90s. I mean, Trent now is great too, but trend the 90s. Yeah. Did you ever have a Nin period? No, Zach did though. I've heard a lot about that. Neither of you mentioned chasing Amy at any point. Yeah. I love it. Okay. I love it kind of uncomplicatedly, even though it is complicated to love it now. Is that an Affleck performance so you go back to? I definitely after seeing good will hunting sought out chasing Amy because he was in it. But I think you know that I don't really relate to the Kevin Smith films on the level that you guys do. I think it is the most, it is attempting to be the most sophisticated of all of his movies. And the most grounded the least ridiculous. But Jersey girls sort of feels like a conventional movie. Yeah. And this felt something, it was still very independent and felt very fresh in a way. And, you know, Kevin was on Bill Simmons podcast talking about this movie in particular in its afterlife. It's complicated afterlife. And the Affleck performance and kind of hand picking Affleck to become a star. I mean, Kevin Smith gets a lot of credit, I think. Yes. For doing something that good will hunting contributed to, but Ben wasn't at the center of that story. Even when they won the screenplay Oscar, still like it was the Matt Damon story. Sure. You know, Ben was riding shotgun for sure. And he may not have been writing shotgun in the writing who knows. But I don't know, chasing Amy, I watched it a lot. I think I've said this before like the sound of the score of that film on the DVD menu. Oh yeah. It's like a lot in college. You'd wake up and you do that like. I remember that so vividly because I heard it over and over and over again at night. So I love that movie. Open your eyes and you would say Ben Affleck. And Joey Lauren Adams, sorry, chasing Amy. What's your, what's your number one Smith movie? You know what? It's actually it's mallrats. Mallrats. Be honest. It's just, I feel comfortable in malls. And it really spoke to spoke to my personal experience. In fact, if you really could you go back to any time, I might go back to the night that I saw mole rats. It was a good time. Any other movies that you want to talk about Amanda? Not really. So there are a lot of kids movies, I think, in this year, that I had ate, I self appointed aged out of it. I was like, I will not be a part of whatever's going on with Hercules, Bobby, are you a Hercules person? I love Hercules. Yeah, so I would like to address Chris directly here. With the big picture becoming in pro TikTok Hercules from the Russo brothers. No, absolutely not. And I really enjoyed everything that you had to say. And I do think that those guys have ruined cinema. But you also didn't seem aware that Hercules is like a thing with Bobby's generation with the younger people. What do you mean Hercules is the thing? It's extremely popular in the movie. Are you serious? Yeah, that's I'm sorry. It's not with me, but I just want to let you know. Do you see it? Do you feel yourself getting pulled into this? Can you see it on the horizon? Me getting pulled into a TikTok musical? No, just animated films, child kid content. Not yet? No, I mean, you're not. No, but it's not like, I mean, it just doesn't occur to me. Like, hey, should I show Knox? I don't know. Cinderella or whatever. It's just not a part of my life. So I don't think, oh, I should say. I think the more exposure he gets to professional athletic greatness coming out of Philadelphia. The less he's going to be interested in kid stuff, animated. So if he's going to be like, oh, I want to watch this all 22 tape of the eagles. Yeah. That was James Harden doing. He's taking a month off. You know, personal maintenance. Maybe you should think about that. Maybe you should think about that. You should think about taking a couple of drafts off. Maybe you should have thought about that. Let me host the stretch run of the big pick. You go rest your tendons and I'll just be like the Oscar guy? We're talking about tar. This is where I fell off of animated movies. Yeah. Hercules. Same way that you did, but I was a little older. You're being real quiet about the russos. Do you support their work? Well, I'm just not interested in that movie that they're doing. And I really didn't like the gray man and I thought Terry was disappointing. So you put it all together and all of a sudden these guys who I thought Andy put it very well when you guys discussed it. Yeah, coming out of the event. It was like coming out of endgame. I was like, damn. That's pretty hard to do what they did. They really landed the plane on that one, and then everything since it's just like, what? This isn't good at all. So it's kind of hard to fathom. I think obviously that is ultimately a testament to Kevin feige. Who really knew where to put that story. It would be impossible to overstate how inessential Hercules live action remake feels. To someone who loves Hercules, and I can just boot up Disney+ right now. After this pod. Those live action musicals I said we have been chronically over the last 5 years have gotten worse and worse and worse as time has gone by. I mean, each one is worse than the last, most recently,

"And Kevin Spacey directed by Curtis Hanson. See you at the movies. I think I could do well. I think I could do well on TikTok. I think I do really well. It's so funny. You're so old. Why is this old man in my face? This guy be old people on TikTok. They just never write about them, right? Yeah. I think there are, but I think they're really old. I think you kind of have to, it's like the 60 plus demo yet. Like a lot of grandmas. Stuck in the middle. Yeah. Being like, yeah, no one wants to hear from you. Except for me, I really enjoy your voice work. Except the one of me, it was really rude. Sorry. I was just trying to do exclaiming. I wasn't trying to impersonate you. Sorry that I bring energy to a podcast. This is a person. I love Julia Roberts. It's a great character. See you at the movies. Check my best. Not to go back to sensitive topics. But the thing about the Julia Roberts Hall of Fame is that he didn't let me know until there was only ten minutes left that he was like, he was like, we're wrapping this. And I was only on 1999. You gotta watch something. Him and Bill, you gotta watch the eyes 'cause something dies in them and you're like, okay, we're wrapping this up. Is that true? No, not for you, 'cause I feel like you get stronger as you go on. Yeah. You have a very big schedule. It's all about that. That's why Amanda was disappointed 'cause she's like, I just gave you an hour and 45 minutes of my life for tar. Why can't you give it to me for something I care about? Which I understand. I also care about tar. I guess I had to go. I have a job too. I just. Julia Roberts Hall of Fame doesn't come around very often. In fact, it will never come back again. Maybe we could redo it, but I said, well, I had so much to say about all the movies. I don't normally have a lot of thoughts about deep cuts. And he was like trying to fast forward me through Mona Lisa smile. And I was like, no. But I watched all of it recently fascinating. I'd love to do a different podcast with you about it. Can I just have a side combo with you a little bit about what do you think of how 1997 perceived Cameron Diaz? Because she's interesting in this movie and then I was watching a little bit of a life less ordinary last night and I remembered how excited I was for that because it was 96, I think it came out internationally or something and then it debuted in America in 97. Got it. This is Danny Boyle's father film. Train spots. Yeah, so shallow grave and trainspotting were like two huge movies for me and I was like, this is gonna be so cool. It's like Bonnie and Clyde and it's like pitched at a very, very annoying frequency. But the viewpoint of Cameron Diaz is like her as like this she's just not cool in these movies. Right. Though she does get the moment standing up to Julia Roberts in my best friend's wedding. And it's a great climactic scene in the ballpark in the bathroom at Kaminsky park. And she yells you're a food critic. And that's all she says and it's very funny. You know, it's funny that she's playing a 20 year old who's dropping out of college to marry an aspiring sports writer who is, it would be funny to watch the 2022 version of this in a number of number of ways. But there are definitely still figuring out who Cameron Diaz is. And they let her have the moment in this, but she does have to play second fiddle to Julia Roberts until then. I think this is the one that we agree on the most with Julia. Yeah. This is the one that like, I saw a movie theaters. I thought it was great. I thought it was really funny and she obviously is like, forgive me, but really hot at this time. She looks really, really, really sexy in this movie, too. Her hair is so big, and she's really vivacious. She was kind of mean and a funny way. It's a really good movie. It also is, there are no movies like this that will ever make a $150 million ever again. That is another thing that is lost. Not to say that there aren't good movies like this, but they just can't be in the blockbuster category. Exactly. You got two there? No, I didn't. And comedy, I'll take a film called Men in Black. Bobby, can you just do like the breakdown from the song? You know, just like the slide, if you just slide with me. Come on, let me take a walk with me just walking with me. Take a walk. Of course. Thank you. So much. Of course. I am always here to execute on any drops that you asked from me Amanda. Who's the star of this movie? Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones? I love them both. Despite Linda fiorentino is in this movie? She is. Yeah. And a bunch of aliens. That's your speed. That's your Julia Roberts. So you don't usually love creature stuff. And there's a big, literally, a big bug. Yeah, I remember. Played by Vincent D'Onofrio in this film, and alien bug. But it's funny. It's paid for it's played for laughs. Again, I was 12 turning 13. It's a time of transition. And I also really like both Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in 1997. It's a very funny dynamic. Their chemistry is awesome. Yeah. It works. I was on the I originated the Andy Serkis should be nominated for Gollum or Caesar from planet of the year. No, I originated it with Vincent D'Onofrio, should be nominated for best supporting actor for Men in Black. At the time. Yeah. Wow. When I was like, I know this is Sean fantasy. Not real gives a stirring performance. In Men in Black, do you at the movie? Should we sign off with C with the movie? Was that Cisco and who did see you in the movies? I think so. That was one of the many titles, yeah. So maybe you should be like, we'll see you at the multiplex. It's more like we'll see you on my couch in my garage. Then you get quiet. Don't sound like a see you at my garage. See you in my 80s. I'm vetoing that with whatever power I have. Barbarian too. You and my garage. Don't be alarmed if I'm dressed like a character from funny games. Chris, you've got to pick. You asked anything else about Men in Black? Are you into the films of Barry sonnenfeld? Well, they kind of drop off a cliff after a certain point. They do, I love get shorty. He's on a run. He was Joel and Ethan's guy for him. He was great cinematographers crossing. He did. He did. It's a very good cinematographer. It's my turn. Yes. Galaxy depends. I think for. So, what do I got here? Let's just review. I have con Aaron blockbuster. I have Jackie Brown and Oscar, and I have LA confidential and drama, so I need a comedy and I action moving in a wild card. See what the movies? And in action. I got a moment to take Starship Troopers. God, this is two in a row. I just really love watching Starship Troopers. It's so good. The movie. It's so good. I don't really need it so much as like an essay on fascism. I think it's just really entertaining as it is. Wait, what? It's good, isn't it? SA on fascism. But that's what makes it great. Is it? Of course. If it wasn't entertaining, would you be like, but it's so, so smart about fascism. No, the point is that it's both at the same time and that almost no one can do that. The point is that it has depth, but that is also really funny. It's so serious. I'm so mad 'cause you took it and you were just like, but it's a whatever about fascism. Like, that the whole point. Come on, give it to me. That's all you're gonna treat it in. Obviously upset you, which is the goal of this project. That's true. No, you've upset me. Okay. You've disrespected Paul Verhoeven's masterwork of bug science fiction. Remember when you made me talk about his lesbian nun

"It a puzzle movie? Is it a it's a paranoia movie? Yeah. Paranoia, well put. With one of the great houses on film, that this kitchen is up there with anything to answer Myers has ever done. I love the sequence when he returns to his home and it's been vandalized in neon spray paint and white rabbit is playing so loudly on speakers and it's so disorienting. This is a beautiful movie. We did do this on the rewatchables once upon a time. You know, I think there's a case that it's the most underrated of the Fincher movies. It comes immediately after 7 awesome Michael Douglas performance at the center of it, kind of like almost riffing on a post basic instinct like rich powerful guy who gets duped but this time maybe not just by a woman, but by something grander than that. And it does feel like I agree, like an homage to the pakula movies of the 70s or something like that. Really, really cool movie that has aged very well, I think, in a time of conspiracy. So that's my drama. It feels like I'm gonna, I need to get a blockbuster. So I'm gonna take a blockbuster here. This isn't necessarily my favorite movie that's on the board, but as a movie that at the time, I loved and was an event. And that movie is face off. Which is, is it the best action movie of this year? It's in the conversation. It's in the conversation. This is like a very tabloidy year for action movies, like very high concept. Or I guess maybe low concept, but very easy to say like, there's a president's plane has been hijacked or elevator pitches were sick. There are prisoners on a plane. Yes. Jailbreak on a plane. They're just like really good, yeah, pitches were awesome. In this one, it's what if an FBI agent and a criminal mastermind swapped faces. That's literally the idea. You seen this one? Yes. Because I believe we did a live event about face off like a million years ago. There was a live rewatchables. Did that ever get published? I don't think so. Was that Shea? Yes. He was a shade, Jason, mal, you and Bill, were you guys all on that? I was not on it. I was there. I wasn't on it. John whoo directed this movie? I believe it's his second American feature after broken arrow. It's probably his best American movie. What do you think? What would the other options be Mission Impossible to impossible to paycheck, you big paycheck? Yeah, it's definitely his best American movie. It's not better than hard boiled or I mean, it's better than hard target in my opinion. Actually, it's his third American movie. Oh that's right, 'cause after heart JCVD. Face off rocks. Remember when Nick Gage was like, I do remember. Let me put that in the trailer. And everybody was like, that's the name of the movie. Yeah. Remember that feeling? That was really cool. I love it when they put the soft sell face off. Face off is not my favorite from this year. I'm happy for you to have it. Okay. You know, I know what she wants with blockbuster. I don't know what you want. Are you going to go with blockbuster now? I'm going to go with blockbuster I'm going to take con air. Yeah. Okay. Speaking of great ensembles. I mean, it does. And speaking of great Nick cage performances and speaking of great pitches for movies, it's just wild that Steve Buscemi and John Malkovich and Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo, am I right? Just made up this murderer's row of villains on a plane and then John Cusack and cold meaty were like we got to bring this plane down. You have kind of Cyrus the virus energy. You remind me of him a little bit. Do you remember Cyrus the virus? John Malkovich's character in this film? Oh, I do remember, I didn't remember his name. He was like a post Hannibal lecter like, what if guys are just pure evil in movies? And this is also one of my favorite setups, which is like a good guy, has to go to jail for manslaughter because he accidentally kills someone in a bar fight, which I feel like I can't think of another example, but I do feel like it comes up a lot where it's like, but you're two hands, or should have been like deadly weapons. It's like you have to go to prison. How many times have you been tried for murder because you kicked the guy's ass in a bar? Four? 5. I have great attorneys, though. I like Connor. It is very silly. It's a stupid movie. Very silly. I mean, not the face off isn't silly. It is also very silly. We did lose something. You made this whole speech about how actually maybe they weren't that good or this is not always necessarily. We lost this. Yes. I think that this is what if they had just distilled all the ideas of Fast & Furious into like two movies instead of ten. That's what this is.

AJ on Harvey Weinstein and 'Good Will Hunting'
"I registered today that reminded me of the very wicked wicked ways of Harvey Weinstein. But this time he was screwing a guy. Now not the way you think. You got to go back to the days and 1997 when the smash hit, good will hunting was out in theaters, they spent 10 million to make that movie with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and it ended up earning 225 million at the box office, one couple of Oscars, Matt and Ben got the screen playwriting award and Robin and Williams got best supporting actor, but there was some bullshit that occurred. You know, years ago I told you the story where Harvey paid Matt and Ben has started amount of money. No one expected this movie to blow up like this. All different types of screenwriters to punch up the script. In fact, word is the original script didn't even have a love interest that was played by Minnie Driver. There was some other things in the script that just in the initial script that Matt and Ben wrote that were not there. And Harvey had to do considerable amount of work finding script doctors to punch it up and he did. So when the movie time started to make a ton of money, Matt and Ben were very grateful, but there's a famous story that he told me where they said, you know, we really feel like we didn't get paid enough. I mean, in hindsight, they're right, but shit, the guy gave them their starts and they won an Oscar, but they still cried about, you know, we only got a certain amount and now the movie is over a 150 mil. And Harvey, it was in a hotel. He met them in a hotel, and I'm sorry, they called him. They had a meeting. They told him to man. And so I think about it. But he was pissed off. And then they kept hounding him. And he said, where the fuck are you guys? And they tell them what I'll tell they were at. I should stay put. And about two hours later, Harvey had a $1 million in a hefty bed, a garbage bag. And he threw it at them on the bed. And he said, I don't ask you another fucking thing. I'll kill you. I'm kidding, but I'm not. Now, then in that work, considerably happy back then to get a quick extra mill on top of whatever they got paid. I guess that shut them up, but that's one side of Weinstein. But on the same, the very same film. Kevin Smith, the director, was telling a story. That Weinstein actually pulled the movie from the fears early because he wanted to fuck around with Robin Williams Korea. Now, generally you hear him, you hear these stories about Harvey being this play with women. I've never heard much about him doing this sort of thing to a man.

Ken Harrison of Promise Keepers Celebrates Their 25th Anniversary
"Promised the chairman and president of promise keepers, my friend Ken Harrison is my guest. Ken welcome. Thanks, man. Oh, it's always good to see you Eric. Well, it's good to see you, your honor. He usually likes to in New York with a good start. I know that this is the 25th anniversary. Is that can that be? 1.4 million men at the Washington mall. It's the biggest gathering in the history of Washington, D.C.. And when they left that mall, they policed the area so well, there wasn't a gum wrapper left on the ground. So you know when those environmentalist groups come together in D.C. to say how much they love the whales or whatever, then they leave the trash everywhere. When the biggest gathering in the history of D.C. all Christian men got together, they left the place spotless. That says a lot about. I was there, it's a little bit hard for me to believe that it could be 25 years ago, but I guess 1997 suddenly he kind of crept up, but it suddenly became 25 years in the past as of right now. That is amazing. Because I do remember it like it was yesterday. I went down with a whole group of dear Friends from Connecticut. I was living in new Canaan, Connecticut. We started something called the new Canaan society. And in a way, it grew out of our time at promise keepers in D.C.. I mean, it's just amazing to me, I feel like, you know, we just parked our car and we're walking. We walk past the Iwo Jima memorial down, down, down, and it was, it was unlike anything I've ever seen.

If I can't find the die hard soundtrack, I'll be goddamned if we can find the mean guns on track.

And they can edit that stuff too for the TV show. But IT has more metal teeth and a damn Bond villain. They gave him a girl that made him very hard to understand. Yeah. Yeah, what was his character's name in this? Everyone else mumbled too, and they didn't. I don't think anything to do with the grill. I think it was just the director was just like, all right, just talk really fast and under your breath. It's like watching this. I'm not sure, but I think I could be iced tea and chess. I think I could take them. That is literally the only thing you could beat ice ten. Definitely not throwing knives. But anyway, so yeah, three out of ten. Three out of ten, four out of ten, I get a 4.5. Maybe 5. Cult status. I enjoyed it. Cult status. And if they can have a cult of people who are going after the Hale bop comet, they could have a cult for this movie. There have been dumber cults. That's for sure. Yeah. Not a lot number, but yes.

Really, I was looking because I was thinking of doing for the mailbag a wine like a wine of the week kind of thing. So I picked peanut block. And then I thought, well, it put me in the mood of picking something else unusual. And so you don't see a lot in the United States. Or these kind of Malbec blends from France. So something different basically. What to match with this movie, I don't know. I would say warm milk, yeah. I'd say do a Merlot and pick a different movie. Canadian mist? Canadian must be good. Northern lights. Yeah. Do something blue, do it, blue drink with this and match the tent of the movie. Have you guys ever had my alert? What's the strawberry boones farm?

Very successful screenwriter and a script doctor and a producer known for films like raw deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Dogs of war with Chris walken, but this script he was working on wasn't like those films. It was full of allegations against the United States government and it involved drugs and bank robbery, and it was all set against the, one of the 20th century's most controversial wars, the invasion of Panama. And Gary devore never made it home that night. He disappeared, lost in the desert in the dead of night in Palmdale as he drove home with this script he just finished. And he was found dead one year later, but the script along with both of his hands were missing. Okay, this is our government at work, guys. This is what happens.

He knows a lot about what links this story to government problems, et cetera and he believes that Gary divorce disappearance is the quote greatest spy story never told.

Conspiracies Surrounding Princess Diana's Death Are Back in the News
"Back in October 1995, word is Diana asked for a private meeting with her personal legal adviser, Victor mishcon, and apparently she wanted to tell him about something that was on her mind. Something she knew was going to happen. So this guy Michigan takes very good notes of their conversation. During which Diana said that reliable sources and she would name them, but she said that she trusts these reliable sources. That they informed her that a car accident might be stage and apparently she predicted she would have end up dead or be seriously injured in this car crash. Now we go to August of 1997, Diana, along with her partner, dodi Al fayed, and her driver on report, they die after Henri slams their Mercedes into a pillar at 65 miles an hour in that tunnel in Paris. It turned out that Henri Paul was under the influence of alcohol and prescription drugs, but was also trying to Dodge a bunch of crazy paparazzi who were trailing them on motorcycles. Now, before I go any further, I don't know, paparazzi on motorcycles with a camera in one hand that are gonna get that close to a speeding car at 65 mph. I just, I don't know. I wasn't there. I could be wrong, but I don't think they get that close. They got long lenses on those goddamn things. But then again, they were looking for that shot right through the window where they can get her face real close. So it could be. And those shots are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars if they're sold. And they look just right, but according to people in this docu series, miscon gave the note of his meeting with Diana to the London Metropolitan Police commissioner at the time, sir Paul. And it wasn't until after condon successor's name, John Stevens, when he got the post at that point, the public was made aware of this notes existence because the first guy condon had locked it away in a safe. Why he did that? You should ask yourself, why? Why are you trying to hide something like that? It took the next guy to bring that out of the safe. It doesn't sit right with me.

Slaughtered forced Michaels to defend the European title for Triple H, it's basically a precursor to the finger poker doom in WCW year later. As Sean essentially lays down, so Triple H can pin him for the title. Why did they treat the European title as a joke so early on? I don't know. I think they realized they didn't need another title. Yeah. So it's like a joke out of this one. And that kind of did. Just a creative way you think, just to get the title off of shining, Sean and get it moved over to hunter here. Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't like it, but nobody asked me if I liked it or not. But I didn't like it. Not that way. Yeah, Owen Hart would then transition his feud to hunter by the end of 97 instead of Sean. What did you think that was? Why did you think that was? Did Shawn not want to work with Owen? Or did Owen just look forward to working with hunter? No, I don't think Sean had anything to do with it. I think the fact finally got the title on Triple H was kind of what we wanted to do. And we knew that between the two, Triple H, no one would have great matches. So there was nothing there with the whole screw job 97. Sean did not excuse me. Did not refuse ever that I'm aware of. Yeah. That he didn't want to work with Sean. I don't think they're ever going to be best buddies. But to eliminate any of that shit, go to Triple H. And that's what we did. So JR, as we start to wrap up kind of what's going on here with Triple H, looking back though, you would say this was the pivotal year for Triple H, no doubt about it. Yeah, he became a star in 1997. Triple H became a star. Pronoun boy. God. No, no, he's no pronounced JR. Practice what you preach. No, I think it worked out fine. It did. He became the man he went from hunter Hearst Helmsley at the beginning of the year. He's Triple H, she's degeneration X. He's now top of the car. He's been battling as we outlined here. He went from kind of gold dust and a few others at the beginning. Now he's taken on Bret Hart. He's taken on mankind. He's in these major feuds became a major player. And Triple H does it again.

"Clement did that from his concords in Moana. And he fucking killed that animated crab. Jermaine canal. I was like, if you do not join me from front of the Concorde, said, it was like, she killed that fucking role. It was a they were having a straight actor play gay role in it as a comedic, you know, if they're making fun of being gay, that I understand, but a straight actor that you understand? The gay role actor can play a straight role. It doesn't. I don't understand that. You're an actor. You're playing a role. Yeah. He did a great job. And again, to me, Greg kinnear is the Helen Hunt too, but they are the human side of the story. Like you're looking at the Melvin jet Nicholson's character through their eyes. They are the empathy that humanity that you see him through because they are the most human people he interacts with. They're the foils. Yes. Yeah. And Greg and here is like he's the most well, he's the most grounded likeable person, even though he goes to horrible, shit throughout the movie. But it's like not only is he depicted in a three dimensional way, but he is probably the most sympathetic character in the entire movie. And Greg near does a great job playing him. So I mean, it's difficult to imagine any actor of any orientation doing a better job than he did play on that. It was such a great performance. But he killed it. Yeah. And so I didn't know whether it's like for what it did then. Because that was groundbreaking to have that. Now it's commonplace. You see that in Star Wars, you see it in marvel. You see it, you know, peacemaker, whatever. You see gay characters, and it's no big thing. Back then it was a big thing. And so it's ID reward for what it was then. Yeah, true. Do you take off points for how cringey it is now? Or do you look at it simply as a flawed movie that tried to shoehorn Jack Nicholson in as a leading man in the last actor he didn't belong. I would have bought the fact at the end of it. Maybe he doesn't necessarily have to go off in the sunset eaten whatever rolls warm rolled Helen Hunt. Maybe he's just a better, a little bit better. Yeah, exactly..

"Oh yeah, because he was eating diapers. That's right. Yeah. Went on to float the river one year, and that's all I saw. I was a big old diaper full of diapers. He got really philosophical about that too. It was very bizarre. Taylor, what do you think? Everything. What you just said? I mean, the film was and I feel like that film could anybody who loved it. I don't think the best way to say this. I didn't think it was a bad film. I thought the acting was great. But you're after rewatching it because same with Travis said. When I saw it in theaters, I remember thinking, what in the hell am I watching? I'm watching Jamie Kennedy and a B roll Johnny Depp, robbing Greg kinnear, and it was like, and I was just so confused. Yeah. It was like making rest in peace. I was like, well, his career. But it was like, but I couldn't figure out what was going. I remember watching it in theaters, I didn't know what the hell was going on. And then rewatching it, I was like, what the hell did I watch? At the age of 15, 16 in theaters. And I was like, what is this? Yeah. And what he was saying is about it was kind of a big mental health thing, which, you know, back in those days, it was just like, put a smile on your face. Go for an exercise. He was like, you know, you're fine, but it was like, clearly this guy, you know, and he was, had mental issues. But at the same time, it was like he was probably comfortable going to that one waitress, obviously he was very interesting to watch it on that side of what today's and you know the great kinnear that could be good in junior character. And it was like, wow, you know, for 97, that probably had to be even pretty big. You feel like it was written by somebody who had those compulsions or had some sort of mental health issues and wanted to get it down, but it was written in a way that was not empathic to that. And I think it's like, you hate to say it, but I was like, at that time, I mean, I Googled a few things. It made like $300 million and it was like, it blows my mind that it was so successful then. But if it came out, that movie might be my black blacklisted. There's no way there's no way people will even let it go to theaters. You have to do it differently. Yeah, a 100%. But at the same time, I was like, okay, you're right. I didn't buy into a lot of the stuff in there. But I really like the acting. Is that bad?.

"It was nothing won't enter. I think one frame make it into the movie and just one of the frames on the exit on. See it in the eye. So this is something that kind of like really. It was a very moment for me where they're saying you know that. Yeah the started recording. We're expecting to be you know a few seconds. Maybe a few minutes because he was recording. You know from the moment she she got source dropping. Yeah so let. Let's say for example. It should be a minute right and the static portion of it should probably be a couple of seconds from the moment turned machine onto you know the moment deep to rescue her but she said well you know what that recording. This should be a few seconds long. It was actually how eighty hours. Which is the time. She said she has spent in this place. Eighteen hours of static recording created in. What will minnesota one dropped. So i had the feeling that moment. I knew dot the security adviser to the president and everybody on that team has seen that recording That's what i can only. I mean what makes sense to me. it is it. is that polemic topic about. We don't know everything's really going on. We did technology advancements. I think that. That's kind of the revolutionary sigh of call sagan trying to also bring out like not everything that saudi technology you really don't and you probably gonna this kobe. Fifty years after governments in high end department of Gold governments instructors like that. Assange i don witting which means star things are going to be fraud beyond data already. Yeah so he knew there was proof now. The perfume wanted maybe not the proof that he could present to the public. But that's a big proof it is steadily recording was recorded for a second took eighteen hours so he actually lied to congress. Yes i was a congress. Congress inquiry Saying that you have no proof..

This guy looks like outer space but it looks like you can see every single galaxy like right there because in reality. It doesn't matter where you go in the universe. Everything's gonna look far away from where you are. Yeah like galaxy. Were really that close. They will be colliding but it looks beautiful view memorizing beautiful Visual and this is where he she gets to see. I guess his her dad which it. I have a hard time. I don't know if my reading a book you you might have a better answer I had a hard time deciding if this was actually her dad or does the alien read her mind because obviously that beach does she in is a copy from that throwing. She did when she was supposedly pensacola florida and he did know things so it makes me wonder was it him and she will. He was selected. There's a lot of mr alexey or was it. An alien and a higher dimension obviously with a lot more technology that we have been able to read her mind using familiar face because the language because they said we thought this would be easier on you so they picked familiar places face and he stuck in a rural by himself. Yes he got it there. I mean i'm sure this is on purpose on the movie which brings a little charm to that little mystery as to like you know was it really him was not him. I mean is your thought phillips on that on that particular scene. Yeah will i think they did the best raise. They're like what whatever you represent might be a little bit lived down and again. This is why. I love this mood day. Only do what sort of genetically possible. They didn't want to speculate too much on..

"It's shown that's not the mainstream way of thought. The mainstream dodd. Scientists have moulvi. Now that's like meal and so much. Well that's what. I like. Carl sagan because they don't think they are trying to bring science out of the box that makes their views narrow to open theirself before signs his. What's fact is what is that's it. They don't say that doesn't mean that is not possible that there is another thing there may be something out there that we have discovered that might prove us wrong and i think i think i mean scientists completely different today for what it was back in nineteen ninety six or even further back so also. The mentality that he's shown in. This movie is completely different. From what the scientific community today. That's for sure. But i think that that's why being near cy was the one that brought it off scientific one. Yeah no no. I understand that point. I was just trying to understand why carl sagan wrote it that way but you know it's something that i might not ever ever get an answer. I was just curious to see what. Because i know he knows i learned it from him so i know he knows so. He's obviously he does because he made the he wrote the engineer to have the answer. And you know. I'm assuming like you said. The book is the same way. So he wrote engineer to have the answer not the scientist so i don't know it. It's one of those things that i might not ever get the support mcnew album to homework. I can't remember exactly if It was the same way book But you know it's interesting. What giancarlo said engineers look for solutions while scientists look for answers but again with mood point and a it might have just come down to because while sagan thought of story and wrote the novel screenplay was written by two other guys so no maybe it was just like this sort of a narrative device. We need like a low point in the story for pickup looking like a obstacle. That dictates couldn't find a way to get past so maybe it was done from that perspective. You know to sort of point and then give ailey like these chairman for her to echo on top of things and get eventually to traveling as she did in machine it was. It was something like that. Yeah and and that would make a lot of sense. Yeah don't make a lot of sense it also it also mind translate to the mere fact just one point of touched how we're getting the numbers but we maybe not reading into right way to understand it because we're using the tools that we have a hand Try to interpret that he's coming from high from from a higher technologically advanced civilization civilization. Yeah so we are not going to have all.

"We done. Let's say for example. We come up with solution that we could be there in a week. Still when we get there on a week still going to be that that time is going to be passed backing earth. War-drive i think if we do a warp drive and we get there in a week still not going to be a we back here because by the time that we're able to be seen up there or that. We have a telescope to look back into the sun into our solar system. Maybe this autumn the sun is already long gone with the earth and everything else. That's another point to actually. Carl sagan discussed and his His videos is moving to date. I think we see Reverend josh data ellie ellie. You know you're going to be there for. You is going to be what he said week. I forgot what he said a long time. It's going to be. Let's say for example is a week unless you remember what he said based on No they didn't know what was going to happen since they thought that she was going. Vega i think it was gonna take like twenty six light us right well. He's they didn't specify number but he said like everyone will be gone by could be gone by the time you back on the around for example. Let's say twenty-six stick dot number over fifty years would pass. 'cause i mean granted it could be and that's very short. It could be an hour for her. Let's short let's put a number right. Let's just put a number. Let's put maybe an hour for her going in coming back But for people on earth going is twenty. Six coming back is twenty six the time still running the same speed in here. So let's say for example. It's just round up to fifty. Let's say the guy is thirty. He'll be eighty when she comes back. Yeah so yeah..

"Yeah so going. Back to what i was saying before. We get distracted as we always do. In every episode ellie is a scientist That is actually part of the program and we can see how she arrives at where we go the receivable radio telescope and once i visit one service so we can see how she is. Has she has dedicated here. Entire life to seti do that. Search bedding the inter galactic intelligence. Search it. I have to admit to you in not the same thing happens to you. You can let me know. But when i saw that scene where she arrives and she's looking at receive The telescope and I think they told him you know i. I think they told me that you couldn't wait. So they made you the first shift the work on it. Because she's that dedicated entire life this I felt extreme sadness. I every time. I see pictures of our receivable As one of the things that i wanted to go and see in real life i wanna see is read the rest of it but i mean it was something to behold that giant team suspended in the year and is gone it's sterile and so every time i see it just you know. I'm not a scientist. But i i do feel that that that puts us back. I mean i don't know about you. Mi-hyun we're kind of people like things will love to go to see when we travel is the observatories all across the world in chile in hawaii. You know science related. Yeah exactly kawai instead of the beach. Yeah that's interesting. You know we're going to hawaii everybody's going to the beach going to. I'm going to martin beech while for to get hit by a wave of water. I'm not a surfer. So steve go down on the video.
