I just get this feeling as you're talking, just waiting for you to jump in. I'm just going to let you keep going and see where it goes, see what happens. It's a problem with that, it's all will keep going. That's true, that's true. It won't be good. Fuck me. Is it over yet? I know. Hi, how are you? I'm all right, how are you? I'm asked to lay some context for this particular episode. Every single week we get together and we talk about how tired we aren't exhausted blah, blah, blah. This would have to be probably the most fatigued and exhausted I've been on any episode we've ever done. I'm fucking wrecked. This will be interesting and at the time we're recording this, both of us have been completely battered by severe winds and weather and so bad that my gazebo almost took off the other day. My deck chairs are flying in all directions and the roof feels like it's about to take off. This is a real Wizard of Oz type of scenario going on right here. It is, it totally is. Like a true old person with my grey hair shining through, I got quite a bit of washing done because the wind just dried at all. I see your grey hair's there, Shannon. So, slipping back to our previous episode, you gave me the pink hair dye and I'm like, no, fuck you, I'm using it, right? Did not work whatsoever at all, not even slightly. I saw you put a photograph of you with it in, like as it was like, no, yeah, I'm like, that's not going to work. You have to bleach it first. Did nothing, absolutely nothing. But the good news is, I've promised my children who are blondie, blondie, blondies, during the school holidays, I will colour their hair. Okay, wash out. Is it going to be washed up, washable stuff or permanent? Yeah, it's only semi-permanent. So, it will wash up eventually, but they decided to get into their pastels the other day, oil-based pastels and colour their own hair, which is still on their scalp and I can't get it off. So, I think hair dye might be a little bit of a better option. What colours are we looking at? Pink and blue, so far. Okay. And I've heard orange getting thrown into it. Orange, come on, no, green. Tell them to go green. I give the kids what they want. Tell us Ninja Turtles and I love it. Oh, they're not so much into the Ninja Turtles. Oh, wow. It's all Minecraft these days, which is green. That's green. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, fair enough. Should we get into it? Why not? I, um, I watched a movie the other day. Could you believe it? I'm starting to, I'm starting to believe it because every week now you come on with something. I know, right? Go me. Incredible. I've watched, I've been seeing so many ads on Amazon Prime for the new Aquafina and John Cena movie, um, Jackpot. Yeah. So, I decided to dull my brain a little bit and give it a go. Excellent. You enjoyed it? I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a fun movie. Um, it's not winning in Oscar any time. No, I, I started watching it, but I, I gave up, um, will return to it. Wasn't hating it. This wasn't in the mood for it. Yeah. I think you kind of have to be. I'm being told by many people. It's worth it. So I will give it a shot. I don't like Aquafina, but you know, we'll see how we go. Yeah. And then my hubby a day later decided, Hey, I want to watch this movie. You want to watch it with me? I'm like, I already watched it. And he goes, Oh, I'm like, no, actually I want to watch it again. So we did. Damn on it. Holy shit. Yeah. We both really like Aquafina. Yeah. And, um, yeah, we really liked it. Yeah, we could. I'm happy for you. Yeah. And I just, I just love John Cena and the actor. Yeah, he's good. He's good. We were talking, we were talking about that on the, the last episode of Good Movie Monday, how, um, yeah, we all kind of really dig what he's doing. He's a very understated kind of comical actor. And it's huge. Yeah. He's massive. He's a big dude. So something that I watched that is of interest to you, I'm sure on Netflix, you don't have Netflix. So do you? Ah, you suck. Okay. It's, um, the new Adam Sandler special. It's fantastic. So he's, he's a big one. So his first one was so fresh. Yeah. And I think that's what it was called. I got my phone wallet keys, phone wallet keys. Yes. And this one is, I think it's called, um, oh, like I love you or so much love or something like that. It's fantastic. It's kind of, it's a stand up special, but it's also kind of got a narrative through it that is performed by some of his regular players backstage and on stage. And there's an ongoing joke throughout the thing that's a performance. It's just interest in bizarre and the songs are just fun as always. And I really highly recommend it. It's great fun. I love Adam Sandler and I love that he's doing stand up. I love it. Well, he's always done stand up. That was his thing before anything else. You know? I just, I love that he's gone. Yeah. Going, going, going back to stand up, let's him go full R rated like he used to. Mm hmm. No. Yeah. But once he hit SNL, he did a couple of albums that were very crass and R rated. But then once Billy Madison hit, he wasn't able to tap into that anymore because it was a bad look for him. But he's gone back now and he's just like going, doubling down on the, the C bombs and the F bombs. It's great. Yeah. And I watched an interview with him recently where he was talking about Happy Gilmore too. Yeah. And how they spent a lot of time on the script. And you know, he's really proud of it. And I, it gave me a little bit more hope for the sequel. Yeah. And wanting it to be kind of what we want it to be. You know what I mean? So yeah, I'm getting a little more excited for it. A little less apprehensive. I've got a lot of faith in that one to be honest with you. Well, we'll definitely see. Yeah. Cool. But it will be Netflix. So you'll have to find a way to watch. All right. All right. Well, you can choose, right? All right. So we can, you can either finish the movie quote or you can guess where the movie quote, what movie it comes from. So I'll let you choose. What do you want to do? All right. I'll just, wherever my instinct goes. So Matt, can I choose poo? Like you read it and I decide them or does it not work that way? Well, I'll have to either stop halfway through the quote or. I'll guess what movie it's from. I guess. Done. All right. So first one. Yeah. Well, that's just like your opinion, man. Yeah. Fucking hell. I do know that. Is that fast times a rich one high? No. That's just like your opinion, man. That's just like your opinion, man. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. What is it? Oh, this is killing me. This one's killing me. It could be a popular Halloween costume. Oh, the internet's gone mad at me right now. Do you want me to name some characters? Yeah, I kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Big Lebowski. Yeah. That's right. And that's that's Jeff Bridges saying it. Yeah. Laidback. Like. Yeah. Red. Yeah. That's just like your opinion, man. Fuck. I can't do it. I can't. What he's about to say is that it's not it's not like. It's not a classic comedy, like there's more to it. It's like a thriller comedy. Yeah. Which is what people ask you. Okay. Yeah. Fuck. Kicking myself. All right. The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm. No fucking idea. I've never heard those words put together before. Said in a little Scottish accent from a little Scottish character. As they sit in trees. Scottish character sitting in trees. Are we talking a lot of the rings? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to just guess two towers. Yes. Good job. Well, that is the that's the tree chapter, isn't it? Yes. That's where they're sitting with the in fan gone forest. Yeah. And then they start to walk towards Isengard instead of away. Yeah. Okay. Why did you go and do that? I'm trying to make a point. Is it Saturday night fever? No. And not Greece. No. No idea. The line before that is you are a criminal. Why are you going to do that? I'm trying to make a point. Fuck me. I'm hanging on these tonight. Oh, dear. The usual suspects. Ah, that makes sense. I haven't watched that in years. Oh, sorry. I'm not the uber fan. A lot of people are with that one. Fair enough. Fair enough. I was trying to make it a little bit more tricky. And it's all working. Yeah, you're doing great. All right. We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline. No. Is it airheads? No. No idea. Lose brothers. Yeah. Fuck you. No. I love the people. Like I'm tanking this game. Oh, actually. Yeah. I was like, oh, man. I love the blue brother. You're smashing this game. This is great for you. All right. Ready? That sounded really sweet. Well, still true. And I'm really great today. Um, well, Janet, I really loved the way you beat the audience. Yeah. You beat the other girls to the brides bouquet. Yeah. Now you're making it. Now that sounds really condescending and patronizing. So that one's Rocky Horror Show. Yes. Well, Rocky Horror Picture Show, I should say. Rocky Horror Picture Show. And, um, I'm storming the castle. Is that Cindy Llorpa? It sounded like Cindy Llorpa. I could be Cindy Llorpa right now with my new mate on my friend. That's Madonna, isn't it? My new mate on my friend. Yeah. My new mate on my friend. Madonna had the mate on her friend. Mate on my friend. What is it? Friend. Face. Whoa. Say hello to my little friend. I just had a stroke live on it. So people are listening to the audio podcast of this. Um, she has a big fat suit on her face and that's what she's referring to right now. Sure, man. Which would make no sense to it. And it doesn't make sense to people watching to be honest with you. Um, no, it is not Madonna. It is not Cindy Llorpa. Okay. Say it again. Have fun storming the castle. Oh, is it Robert Woodmanian Tights? No, this is from one of the funniest movies ever. Princess Bride. Yeah. Nice. I think I won that one. You totally won that one. I totally won that one. I mean, anyone would say you creamed it. Well, it is for Wednesday night. Gotta be cream and something. Gotta be cream and something. Gotta be cream and something. Still cream me to get all of that. To a cream to get under. No. Hey, at least it gave us a show title. All right. So this one is how many? You've just got to name how many? Okay. All different situations here. So let's start off with how many how many actors have officially played James Bond. Oh, that's a really good one. There are two answers I will take as official. I want to say like six or seven. Which one? One of them is technically correct. No, six. Yes. Actually, both of them are technically correct because there are six official actors in the series from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig. And then there was a parody movie called Casino Royale in the 60s. The original Casino Royale based on an E and for me book and David Niven played James Bond in that one. So six and seven if you were to go that way. Okay. Okay. Not at right. Both ways to be honest with you. Damn right. I did. It doesn't mean double points. Unless you can name them all back to back. No, I cannot. All right. Yes. Actually. Actually. James Bond one. James Bond two. No, I can't. That's terrible. Terrible. Will that even make the show that's that bad? I hope not. All right. How many, how many movies have the working dog crew made? Do you know working dog? It's an Australian production company. That's right. They've made how many movies? Oh, they are for people that don't know they in television terms. They, they came from the late show and they made things like have you been paying attention? The cheap seats. How? Thank God you're here. The panel. They make a lot of Aussie content and they've made three movies. One of which maybe even two would be considered iconic. So the lawn bowls one crackerjack would be one. You've got to lock it in before I give you an answer. Oh. You don't have to name them, but you can, but. Five. But bond. They made three. You even said it. You said three. Yeah, I know. So the castle crackerjack and no, not crackerjack. Not crackerjack, but castle or the castle. And second one would be the dish. Oh. And then any questions for Ben. Oh. Okay. The dish I forgot about the dish. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. How many leagues under the sea was Captain Nemo? Ten thousand. Like that another guess. Ten thousand like 10,000. One million thousand. Just lock an answering. Ten thousand. It's twenty thousand. It's in the back of my brain. How many ace venturing movies are there? Four because there's a one with the kid. So what do you lock it in for? Four. There's three. Well, there's three. How many did he make here? Oh, he only made two. Yeah, because he, after he made part two, he swore he would never make a sequel again. And it took like what 25 years or something before he actually came into dumb and dumb or two. And I think after that, he was like, oh, I don't know about sequels. And now lo and behold, he's doing fucking Sonic the Hedgehog three. So kind of threw that, that mantra out the door. Yeah. Why does I think there was three ace venturors? That's really embarrassing. There are. That's the answer. Yeah. But the third one is the shotty one that's filled with like, it's like in the teenager. It's not the real ace venturer. Well, it doesn't mean it's not part of the franchise. It is. Yeah. And I just said it's not the real one. How many Oscars has Meryl Streep one? Oh, like all of them. Eight. You gonna lock that in? Yeah. Three. Only three. Yeah, that's just nominated a lot. That's the ongoing joke in Hollywood is she's nominated. She's guaranteed not to win because she's been nominated 21 times and she's only one three. Whoa. Yeah. And do you want to have a guess what three movies she won for? I reckon you've got a good chance of getting at least two of these. Do you hunt her? No. She's hardly in that. She's not in enough. Sophie's choice. Yep. That's one. The none one that she did with Philip Seymour Hoffman. No. No, I have no idea. Kramer versus Kramer. Oh, dah. And the iron woman. Oh, I haven't seen that. It's one of that Margaret Thatcher. Oh, yeah. Oh, she did a good one. She did a good impression of Maggie Thatcher. There we go. That's that's my how many game did it? Nice. All right. I'm going to get you. You've got McDonald's on your mind. I always have McDonald's on my mind. That's your ringtone. Like I could have a quarter pounder smash one right now. Oh, I had one today. Although I prefer a whopper. Always prefer a whopper. All right. Clingerman. Name me a movie with. A wrestler turned actor. Princess Bride. Name me a movie with a singer turned actor. Who's that girl? Name me a movie with a standout cameo. Tropic Thunder. Name me a movie with a lot of drugs. Blow. Good movie. Name me a movie with your favorite on screen death. Oh, I'm enduring love. Okay. Name me a movie with the best comedic duo ever. Oh, for God's sake. That is really hard. You've stopped me on that one because that's a thinker. Well, that doesn't come immediately to your head. Sorry. Can we circle back to that one? That's my last one. Okay. We're back. Circled. No, we're back. That's okay. Oh, man. It's going to sound cliche, but even something like Abbott and Costa limit Frankenstein is like one of the all time. Great. I think that's a really good one. It's a one or five classic in more sort of contemporary terms. I mean, either of the Wayne's world movies. Oh, yeah. I think you would have gone planes, trains and automobiles. Well, yep. I certainly would have had that come to my mind. 100%. But I'm thinking more like when you pose that question to me, rather than thinking of like the characters, which is where my mind should have gone, I'm thinking of like two actors that make movies together. Oh, okay. Like they are known to be, you know, like your Laurel and Hardy. Sure. Yeah. I can see the way you would get that. Yeah. Like even like Dave Spade and Chris Farley, you know, they made a series of movies together. So, but yeah, cool. There we go. Planes, trains and what it might be. Probably the logical answer for that one. That's a good one. Great stuff like Lethal Weapon and lots of buddy cop kind of movies too. But yeah, I like that was a quick snappy fire. It is a snappy fire one. I would have said like the three amigos with Martin Short and Steven Martin, because I love them together. But it's got chibi chase in there. There's three of them. Chibi chase is amazing in that. If you were to say trios, that'd be a great one. That'd be a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Do you have a favorite joke or moment from that movie? Ah, nothing that springs to mind at the moment, but all of them. I love that. No, a little barter cup. Has a sweetest smile. Thank you. When they're in the saloon. We gotta go. Smash man. That is a good one. I love that movie. Ah, friend of the show who, um, he is a personal friend that we've been trying to get onto Good Movie Monday, and we just haven't managed to wrangle it. Norbert Weiser is this actor that's been in things like The Thing and Schindler's List, and he's in the three amigos. And I would love to get him on the show to pick his brain about that. He should. I'm going to make this a TikTok moment. Norbert, if you're watching this, we want to have you on the show, mate. Norbert, do it, mate. I chat with him all the time, and I've mentioned it, but it just hasn't happened. Do it. Yeah. Please. Please. I was, I saw a post on Facebook last week about the three amigos and everyone piled on it saying it's one of the most, um, overrated comedies of all time that it's not even funny. And I'm like, are you fucking joke? Those people wouldn't know what funny was if it hit him upside the head with the chair. And they've got to be like, I didn't dive into who they were, but because I'm not that kind of person, but they would have to be like Gen Z or millennial that just don't understand the history of comedy and the caliber of talent in that. You know, John Lovitz and Phil Hartman in there. Yeah. Don't, don't, don't hate on millennials, by the way. It's a career from like, as Al Hoapo, fuck me dead. It's, it's something like you to be from people who weren't brought up with that kind of comedy, which is really sad. And I feel really bad for them. And I hope that they get to enjoy something in their life because they're obviously stupid. So. Would you say you have a plethora? All right. My next game is called indie or Star Wars. Oh. So I'm going to just name some titles from books that have been written in the Indiana Jones franchise and books that have been written in the Star Wars franchise. Like, um, actual novels and you've got to tell me which franchise they belong to. Oh, God. So the first one, the first one is forces of destiny. Forces of destiny. Forces of destiny. Star Wars. Correct. Mm hmm. Pirates price. Pirates price. indie. Star Wars. Oh, okay. You'll love this one. I'd love a pirate indie movie. God, that'd be so good. The Philosopher's Stone. What? Yeah. From 1995. indie. Yes. Yeah. Cool. Sky pirates. Oh. Star Wars. indie. Oh my God. They written by the same person. No, there's, there's so many authors on these things and there's like, there are hundreds of titles. Most of the titles, you can clearly tell what franchise they come from because it'll have like, you know, Jedi in there or like Sith. You know, stuff like that. But I've chosen ones that are kind of ambiguous. Ambiguous, yeah. So what about Legion of Death? Legion of Death. indie. Yeah. Well done. Yeah. Um, I mean, this is not even a knowledge test. Is it? This is a pure potluck. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm trying. You're doing the slide for the difference. Yeah. So this one's called Maze of Deception. Maze of Deception. indie. Star Wars. Damn it. And the final one would be Shield of Lies. Star Wars. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. So interesting. Yeah. Philosopher's donate. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. Not only is that something like that, you know, maybe that was pinched because of this title existed before the Harry Potter franchise existed. Quite possibly. But also the name Harry Potter existed before Harry Potter as well. In the franchise, was that the troll? I thought it was the troll franchise. Movies about the troll. Yeah. There you go. She was accused of plagiarism when that came out. I mean, everyone steals from everyone else. That's how creative juices get flown. But you don't normally steal an entire name. And that's two. That's two. Look, I'm not in the realm of defending JK Rowling. Okay. That's just not who I am as a person. I enjoy what she has created, but that is about as much as I have to give her. Alrighty. Moving on. So speaking of agreeing or disagreeing on such topics, I'm going to shoot you out some statements. Okay. And I just want to know if you agree or disagree, feel free to elaborate. Don't elaborate completely up to you. Okay. No pressure. Okay. Agree or disagree? Knives out should have gotten an Oscar nom in 2019. Completely disagree. Same. Okay. Yeah. Good. The second one. What is it? The glass onion or some shit? Terrible. Way better. No, terrible. Way better than the first one. No, no. The first move. No. Knives out was a good movie. Not Oscar-worthy, but it was a good who done it. Glass onion was terrible. Oh, I enjoyed that one way more. Yeah. Well, that's not saying a lot. Coming from the person that when we first started this podcast, absolutely disagreed with you. That sequels were worth it. And now I'm saying that a sequel is better. Like I've grown as a person. Alright. Agree. Agree or disagree? Jurassic Park did not need sequels. Oh, well, I agree. I don't think any movie needs sequels. Some just happened to be great. But some sequels just happened to be great and expand on it. Well, but none of them need a sequel. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. And in you. Well, apart from the ones that Chris pattering, I don't know if I've really remember much of any of the Jurassic Park sequels. So I only remember the first one. And speaking of Jurassic Park, I told my kids a funny story the other day that when my husband was younger, Jurassic Spark, Jurassic Spark, I am having a stroke. Many, many of them on air today. He was terrified and she needs parents when he was a young kid and watch those. And so when we were on our honeymoon and the new Chris Pratt. Jurassic Park movie was coming out in theaters. We were in LA. We wanted to go to the movies. It was like one of our last days there. And I'm like, you know, let's go see the new Jurassic Park movie. And he absolutely flat out refused because he was terrified of the dinosaurs. Wow. We watched inside out instead. Oh my God. Are you I mean, are you happy that you've committed this to the show? And my kids now are just like, don't skip a dinosaur. They're not even a man. You move. It's my whole life. The first Jurassic Park was was a very, very scary movie. Like, um. Oh, 100%. But like Jesus Christ, like I was watching Freddy Krueger when I was six. Like, come on, man. Yeah. But when you're, you know, in your late twenties, you don't need to be scared of dinosaurs. No, you don't. Speaking of Jurassic World, he must be thrilled that the new one they've just released the first look images from. So I think it's called Jurassic World Rebirth is the next installment to whole new trilogy. And this one's got Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and they're the photos that just released of those two characters. I'm actually excited for this because I didn't like the Jurassic World. So, you know, movies, the first one. The first one was the first one was serviceable. Like, it was okay. This is kind of fun. It's just the rehash of the first, but it connects. So I'm digging a bit the second two after that were just fucking awful. But this one is directed by Gareth Edwards, who is the guy that made Rogue One Star Wars Story. He made monsters, Godzilla, the creator recently. Like, he's a really, really excellent director. So I'm kind of excited about that. And he's good with those sort of big sequences. Yes. And having said that, though, the guy that made the Chris Pratt ones, Colin Trevero, I thought the same of him at that time too. So you never know. It might be, it might be the ultimate sellout and he might suck at it. But I have a bit of hope for it. It might redeem it a little bit, but we just, just stop making it. Just stop. There's no need anymore. Like, just make a dinosaur movie without being attached to Jurassic Park. The interesting concept behind this one, I believe, and there's not much out there as far as stops this goes. But I believe it is now the story for the next three is going to be what the world looks like with dinosaurs completely inhabiting the planet. Like in humans are now the second class, like we're just below them on the food chain rather than being on top. So that's an interesting concept. It's very planet of the apes. Yeah. Three planet of the apes, quiet place type of thing. That's it. Exactly. Okay. So we'll see how it goes. It's a far cry from that original. Yeah. All right. Well, agree or disagree. Toy Story 4 should never have been a thing. You've been listening to Quentin Tarantino on Club Random this week or last week. I haven't, actually. Well, that's all over the internet right now, that question. I found it on the internet, but nothing to do with Quentin. Okay. Well, he's the one that boarded up. But his argument was that he loves one, two and three, and no matter how good Part 4 may be, he's never going to watch it because in his mind the stories concluded like it's perfectly rounded story. Correct. Which I agree with that sentiment. Right? However, because I've seen Toy Story 4, I believe they can keep going because the story of Part 4 was wonderful where they took it because if you think of how Toy Story 3 ended, right? It was Andy's full-known arc. What happens to toys when they're discarded and no one wants them anymore. And that's what Part 4 is about, the new owner or them running away from. It's a really wonderful movie number four. So I'm glad they made it. I'm glad I saw it and it's maintained consistency. So I'm all for it. Interesting. Yeah. All right. Agree or disagree, La La Land was vastly overrated. You've asked me that at least four times. It's completely overrated. It's fucking awful. Okay. Good. We'll move on then. I won't ask you again. You will. I'll guarantee that. Give me two weeks. I'll ask you one more time just to make sure. All right. Speaking of JK Rowling, Agree or disagree, Harry Potter is the worst character in the series. Oh, that's an interesting question. No, I don't think so. I think he's a fantastic hero character to carry the series through. Worst character in the series. That's the question. Hmm. Off the top of my head, I can't peg it because they're all pretty interesting characters. I have an answer to this. Oh, is it? Hang on a second. Is it Robert Patterson's character? No, I love Cedric. I'm just asking a question. No, I have two answers to this actually. One is Xenophilius Lovegood, who is Luna's father. I think he's the worst character. Fucking hated him. Even though he's the one that told them the story blah, blah, blah, blah. And he had some kind of character development there. I still hated him. But I feel like for me, the worst character in the series is Ginny Weasley. I don't enjoy her character. I don't feel she adds much. Yep. If anything, except for a love interest. Yep. And I just... Fair enough. Fair enough. Yeah. That's an interesting one. And I'm open to people telling me why I'm wrong. No, this one... Even though I'm not. No, this one's purely just a matter of opinion and perspective. It's so subjective that one that I don't think there is a wrong answer. Hmm. Well, my last one, right, is quite controversial. But I'm really interested to hear your take on this. I found this statement online. Okay. Agree or disagree? Movies are only worth watching when they teach us something about life. Oh, I mean, that's a very philosophical question or statement, I should say. I don't want to agree with that. But I think that we take something away from most movies we watch, whether we know it or not. But I don't disagree with it though. I disagree with it also. There's mindless bullshit out there. But at the same time, I think that mindless bullshit is important because it might be an alleviation. It might be like a real therapeutic kind of thing. You know, it could be the dumbest movie on Earth. But if that makes you feel good, you're excited. But it's not teaching us anything. You know what I mean? Yeah. It doesn't have to teach us anything to be worth watching. No. Absolutely not. It can take us away. That's the whole point of movies is to take us away from the realities that we don't want to face in them. I understand. That is the genesis of cinema. It was escapism. You know, and you've got some people like, you know, film scholars in very, I think, superficial kind of film lovers, not superficial. What's the right word for it? Just, there's an arrogance to some film lovers that they think everything has to be important or it's not worth it. It's like, well, it is all important. That's just once again subjective in your opinion. I will take as much joy from Caddy Shack 2 as I will from Casablanca. So go fuck yourselves. And that's why. Absolutely. I hated film school right from the start because it was full of those attitudes. And I knew from week one, it wasn't for me. I mean, I stuck it out and all that. But that was the round circle conversation to get to know each other. What's your favorite movie? Bye, bye, bye, blah, blah. And everyone was saying like, oh, my favorite filmmaker is Fellini or my favorite filmmakers, you know, Christoph, you know, check it with you, whatever. And, and I'm like, well, Spielberg, like. Uh-huh. Yeah. Clearly Spielberg. And they laughed at me, right? The circle laughed at me, except for one person. And that was the professor, the teacher, right? And the teacher then put them all straight and says, well, that's the only honest answer in the whole circle. Mm-hmm. And what are you doing in film school if you don't aspire to be someone like Steven Spielberg? Because it's a career, which means it's a business, which means you make money from it. And if you aspire to be those people that you're looking up to, you're not going to succeed. Mm-hmm. So fuck all those people and that attitude. And honestly, what does Fellini have over Spielberg? Well, that's right. They're different kinds of filmmakers, right? Right. That's the whole point of film. It's subjective. And not only that Fellini, like a lot of what he did, Spielberg took from. Mm-hmm. You know, like, yeah. Anyway. I told you would be worth asking a lot. Yeah. It triggers me a little bit that I hate those attitudes. I really do. Yeah. That's the opposite attitude of what all of the podcasts I've ever hosted or produced are about. Yep. Yep. Agree. Okay. So my final game for the show is follow the leader. So I'm going to name a lead actor in movies. Yep. Hang on. I'm going to name a movie and you're going to tell me who the lead actor is. Okay. And then the bonus point, if you can tell me the character's name. Oh, God. Okay. Okay. So I think it's a pretty all-around relatively easy game for you. Okay. Beverly Hills Cop. Eddie Murphy. And his name is Axel. I'm trying to remember his last name. I can't remember it. I know it's Axel. Come on. Come on. Come on. Don't make the world hate you. They already do. No, they don't. No, they don't. Excellent. What's the name of the new movie? Okay. It's called Axel F. There we go. There we go. See, she does know it. Excellent. Jumanji. Uh, Robin Williams. And his name. Parrish. Something parish. Daniel Parrish. Keep going. Peter. No. Think of her like a prairie dog. He's named Peter. Isn't it? No. I can't remember. Ellen. Ellen. Yeah. I'm like prairie dog. What about Spartacus? Um. I am Spartacus. Gerard Butler. No, that's 300. We're going back to the 60s. Spartacus. Oh. 60s. Yeah. Oh. Mr. Blue eyes. Is it Mr. Blue eyes? If you're thinking Frank Sinatra. No. I'm not thinking Frank Sinatra. He was. He was. Oh, blue eyes. Um, I'm thinking. Cool hand Luke. Oh, no. No, not Paul Newman. Oh, I don't know then. Okay. Well, it's Kirk Douglas. I'm not going to get that. I'm not going to get that. I'm not going to get that. I'm not going to get that. I'm not going to get that. I'm not going to get that.
