Hi, this is Pat Fraley, purveyor of duck, dog

and villain voices. And you're listening to the

Geekcast Radio Network. There is nothing wrong

with your podcast player. Do not attempt to adjust

the volume. Hello. Hello and welcome back into

our studio. You are now inside Studio 2009. I'm,

of course, James John Mike. Joining me, as always,

Steve Megatron. Hello, sir. Hello. And today

we are getting back to our countdowns. We've

got our individual lists for our top 10 most

rewatched movies slash films. So these are movies

and films that we rewatch all of the time. I

will say that this was a little difficult because

well, because there's certain shows that I'll

rewatch or certain movies I'll rewatch. But there's

also ones I'll rewatch numerous times after I

see it for the first time. And then it's it kind

of fades away for a while anyway. But yeah, there's

a number of them that I'm unsure where they would

normally land because. Under normal circumstances,

I don't rewatch a lot. Yeah. But there's there

are those exceptions. Yeah. And for me, and I

need to clarify this and I'll clarify this now

and I will clarify this in the next episode when

we do our TV shows. These are live action. So

live action film and live action TV shows will

be next week. Top 10. That was the other thing

that threw me. Yeah. Animation is a whole other

like. I almost need top 20. While cartoons and

animation and anime and all that are actual television

shows, I don't lump in cartoons with TV shows.

Cartoons are its own category in my mind because

we would be here all day for that. Just listen

to the top 100 animated series and the top 100

animated films countdowns that we've done in

the past. Boy Yeah, we are to revisit that it's

so old Yeah, no, right. Hey, at least we don't

have to have competing. I remember back in 2011

when we did the animated series Poor optimus

solo. He was so and rightfully so but he was

so incensed by the IGN list IGN list was to practice

this, you know not to get too too much into that

rat hole their list was Blasphemous there were

things that should not have been on there. There

were things that should have been on there There

were things that should have been higher. There

were things that should have been lower and it

was just overall a terrible list and So when

we were when we were giving it the opportunity

to basically reboot it especially when the comment

section for that was just nailing it to the wall

because it was so bad and So those of you who

are listening, sorry, go ahead. Well, he had

the difficult job of putting all that mess together,

but it was also the fact that for every reveal,

you had to click. It was a hundred pages of a

hundred. Not including the intro page, it was

a hundred pages and you had to click through

each one so they could get a hundred clicks per

person. It's the whole reason why we have our

top 100 podcasts, top 50 podcasts, top whatever

podcast that we do that we've done over the past

13 years now is because of that IGN animated

series list. So thanks IGN, but no thanks IGN.

So for me, I usually can make a list within 20

minutes most of the time because if I'm thinking

of shows that I actually Rewatch on a regular

basis or maybe every few years not shows movies

You know, maybe I rewatch them on a regular basis.

Maybe I rewatch them every few years kind of

thing and all that You know, I can't but I started

this as we're recording this the day we're recording

this I started making this list at 9 a .m. Pacific

time And right up until we recorded, I just finished

changing it. And I'm finally happy with the choices

that I made. See, I wrote mine up last night.

And I was well, what's funny is, is I was like,

what movies have I seen multiple times because

I was I was genuinely drawing a blank and. I

actually went back and I have not updated this

list. I wish there was an easier way of doing

this like there was a way to download a master

list of every movie released ever and you know

the category that it's it's tied to because I

I genuinely would like to Go through and check

off every movie I've seen. Yeah it just because

I well I found a list that I used to keep when

We used to have a boatload of movies and I think

we had like 13 or 14 hundred movies at the time.

I have since dumped it all between multiple moves.

It just it wasn't worth it. So, yeah, so I would

I would honestly like to see what I've seen and

what, you know, basically it would make it easier

to know what I've watched, what I haven't watched.

When I've done research in the past for like

we did a series on GCR of Optimus Solo had us

doing like the action films or the western films

or the sci -fi films or you know whatever I forget

if those were I think those were top tens but

like when I was doing research for those a number

of years ago now I would look at each decade.

And I personally would only look at films that

were released in the United States, because if

a film is released somewhere else that I don't

have access to, why am I going to put it on a

list? How am I going to watch it anyway? Yeah,

exactly. So I do remember Wikipedia having film

by decade kind of thing, where you could go in

and look at each year, each month of each year.

and see what films were released when, kind of

thing, but that's still, yeah, you're right,

you want a whole master list of everything, and

that is what it is. Alright, folks, starting

off at number 10, what do you got, sir? Well,

for my number 10 film of rewatch, I have The

Night at the Museum. Theodore Roosevelt at your

service. Teddy, can you get us out of here? Can't

do it, man. This is your moment. Will you save

the lectures, please? I'm not you, okay? I didn't

build the Panama Canal. I wasn't president of

the United States. I need some help. Come on.

Actually, I never did any of those things. Teddy

Roosevelt did. I was made in the mannequin factory

in Poughkeepsie. I never shot a wild beast. I'm

not even brave enough to tell that beautiful

woman I love her. But you. You've got to finish

the job this time. You can't quit. You made a

wax, Larry. What are you made of? Ah, yes, Ben

Stiller, Robin Williams. Robin Williams. Yep.

Well, and I had to include it because it just

has so many iconic different actors in it. Mm

-hmm. And it's just a lot of fun. I really enjoy

the movie, especially on subsequent watchings.

There's just a lot of memorable actors, a lot

of fun that happens in it. And then the fact

that it's in a museum and the roles that everyone

has to play. Yeah, absolutely. I should also

say, folks, that I personally did not list any

superhero films, any sci -fi. Even though this

is studio 2009 even though we are the geek cast

radio network. This is just what I rewatch over

and over again over time these are like The nerdiest

film on here is probably number four and that's

only because it's based off of a video game franchise

And no it is not Mario For number ten for me

It's funny you picked a Robin Williams film,

because I am also picking a Robin Williams film,

a different one. Bicentennial Man from 1999.

Okay. Not a bad choice. I love this movie. Whatever

human being that I care for, just leave. this

if I had to watch a Robin Williams comma dramedy

comedy, whatever, you know a Robin Williams flick

that basically ticks every box between comedy

and drama and emotion and whatever this is the

film for me because not only does he get to express

his Comedic aspects. He also as the robot Andrew

in the film He also gets to learn and figure

things out and it's just a cool story and like

you mentioned with night of the museum Bicentennial

man has some great Supporting or other actors

and actresses and I don't want to say supporting

but It's got Sam Neal as the dad of the family

that that Andrew is is is Bought from and that

kind of thing and it's got the chief May she

rest in peace Lynn Figpen from the old Carmen

San Diego game show as as the as the High Council

woman that he has to go to in front of to say

that hey I want to be recognized as human Kind

of thing and I just I love that movie so much

Do you have an impact drill? Uh, yeah, over on

the rack. Thank you. At number nine for you,

sir, what do you got? Well, for my number nine,

I have Christmas vacation. Hmm. Chevy Chase.

No, I'm not. No, I know. I'm just saying. I didn't

think of putting it on because I only really

watch it at Christmas. There's other times of

the year I watch it, and so I find it very, I

don't know, entertaining, just for that moment

where you just never know what's gonna happen.

I don't know, it's just a good feel -good movie

in some regards, even though it's horrible when

you stop and think about it. Hey! Any of you

are looking for any last -minute gift ideas for

me? I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss,

right here tonight. I want him brought from his

happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane

with all the other rich people. And I want him

brought right here, with a big ribbon on his

head. And I want to look him straight in the

eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying,

no -good, rotten, for -flushing, lowlife, snake

-licking, dirt -eating, inbred, overstuffed,

ignorant, blood... Sucking, dog -kissing, brainless,

dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat -ass, bug

-eyed, stiff -legged, spotty -lipped, worm -headed

sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit!

Where's the Tylenol? I mean, we're gonna do Christmas

in July this year. I'm - I'm springing this on

you now. And we will revisit this film because

I have a whole bunch of other thoughts that will

take up more of our time here. Uh... I see what

you're saying, but that's a discussion for another

day. Yeah. Number nine for me, Hack the Planet.

1995's Hackers with Johnny Lee Miller, Angelina

Jolie, Matthew Lillard, Fisher Stevens, Lorraine

Bracco. I am saying these names off of memory,

folks, because I've seen this movie so many damn

times. is the world they inhabit. Dave? Yeah,

Mom? What are you doing? I'm taking over a TV

network. Finish up, honey. Get to sleep. They're

hackers. Hackers penetrate and ravage private

and publicly owned computer systems. Hack the

planet. Hack the planet! It's not just something

they do. Sure, this sweet machine's not going

to waste. Are you challenging me? It's who they

are. I win, you wear a dress on our date. And

if I win, so do you. They can crack any code

and get inside any system. Hello? Mr. Gill, according

to our records, you're dead. I'm what? Come here,

look at this. It's some kind of virus. Unless

five million dollars is transferred to the following

account, I will capsize five oil tankers. They

just hacked the wrong guy. Game's over. Whoever

wrote this needs somebody to take the fall. He's

about to commit the perfect computer crime. You've

created a virus that's gonna cause a worldwide

disaster. And they're about to take the blame.

A hacker planted the virus. That's the perfect

cover. What are you doing? We're being framed.

Can we be allies? I don't play well with others.

Oh, wow, we are fried. Okay, let's nail it. No.

You're not good enough to be me. Yeah, maybe

I'm not, but we are. They're the only ones who

can prevent a catastrophe. I know how to stop

this guy. They'll trace you like that. Are you

nuts? Come at me! Unlike any, the world has ever

seen. Never send a boy to do a woman's job. Hackers

of the world unite. Cops on the building. We

need more time. This is the end, my friend. The

United Artists welcomes you to the new world.

Know that's not what computers ended up being

and I know it's a fictional world But isn't that

what we all hope they would be isn't that what

we hope the net would be when you know, I Don't

know I just enjoy the film. It's a fun little

story It for 90s special effects, it's got some

really awesome computer stuff in it very very

cool Number eight for you, sir, is? Is Man of

the Year. Oh, another Robin Williams movie. Yay!

Another Robin Williams movie. And I love it for

multiple reasons. One, it shows how corrupt everything

can be. How awesome Robin Williams can be. Mm

-hmm. And I love the supporting cast with him.

Mm -hmm. It just I don't know. It just makes

the film because you have all these different

comedians and and actors that play a lot of comedic

roles and then they they're all together. And

I love the presidential debate in it. Yeah, that

is that is awesome. Where he just derails the

whole thing, where you got a guy that's like

Clinton and like Bush and he's just railroading

both of them. And it was just it was so entertaining

that I just. It's one of my go -to movies that

I'll watch maybe once or twice a year. Yes, can

you get control of this, please? Get control

of this! Don't you see? We deal in weapons of

mass destruction. They push your buttons. That's

how they do it. He's talking about hydrogen fuel.

They also, he wants an amendment to the constitution

on flag burning. It's an emotional issue! They're

talking about the desecration of the flag, but

if you go online right now, you can buy flag

underwear! Wow. You can see an old lady basically

wearing a flag thong and go, oh grandma, don't

tell me where old glory is. It's all about distraction

But it's still often enough that I can I can

remember a lot of the quotes and a lot of things

that happen in it, but yeah but no, I just I

like it because of the movie and then one of

my favorite quotes is Politicians are a lot like

diapers. They should be changed often for the

same reason. Alrighty then. I love that quote.

Alrighty then. Oh boy. My choice at this position

is the year 2000's Nicolas Cage film. Along with

Tay Leone and Jeremy Piven, the family man. I

remember seeing this in theaters. And what drew

me to this film was not only the trailer and

how the story was kind of explored in the trailer,

but also some of the songs that are in this film.

Like it has one of Seal's, one of my favorite

Seal songs, and no it is not Kiss from a Rose.

It's a song called... It's one of my favorites.

You think I'd know it it's I believe it's Heaven

or just like heaven or something like that. I

don't know and no it's not the Bruno Mars thing.

It's something by seal anyway Jack Campbell thought

he had everything Merry Christmas I'm giving

everything I've got to this deal. You're a credit

to capitalism, Jack. Then one day, his past caught

up to him. Kate Reynolds? She was my girlfriend

in college. I almost married her. But instead,

you left her. I took the road less traveled.

And fate... What? Him? Me. gave him a glimpse.

What do you need, Jack? I got everything I need.

Yeah? You just remember that you brought this

on yourself. at what his life could have been.

Kate? Come on, Dad! Get up! It's Christmas! It's

Christmas! Jack! Strong coffee. Where's my Ferrari?

You got a Ferrari? Just tell me what's happening

to me! This is a glimpse. A glimpse of what?

This is not my beautiful house. This is very

strange because this isn't my house. This is

not my beautiful life. Those aren't my kids.

You're not really my dad, are you? I don't have

time for this. I'm in the middle of a deal. Well,

you're working on a new deal now, baby. Good

lord. Do you know why I work here? Because you're

the best damn tire guy in the state of New Jersey.

You must have needed this every day. Dad, you

needed in mad wheels. You want me? What is the

general idea? God, you're beautiful. How can

you look at me like you haven't seen me every

day for the last 13 years? Jack! What's up? How

you doing, baby? Can't keep coming in and out

of people's lives, messing things up. It's not

right. I need you to remember me, Kay. Keep it

with you no matter what happens. Academy Award

winner, Nicolas Cage. The Family Man. Family

Man basically has this, you know, Nick Cage playing

a Nick Cage role as Jack Campbell and he's this

hot shot, you know, big shot with the Ferrari

and the this, that and the other thing and everything

else and... The whole point of the film is one

moment in your life changes and your entire life

changes. And what I love about this is that Don

Cheadle is the kind of angel with wings kind

of guy that's there. It's not really an angel

with wings, but he's that that sidekick that

that person that interrupts, you know, whatever

Jack is going to do next kind of thing. It shows

him two different lives. It shows him his bachelor

life that he knows and he has and he loves and

it shows him You know, hey, what if 13 years

ago he made a different choice instead of going

off to be this super finance guy in London what

if he actually stayed with the Te Leone character

and What their life would be like that's a good

movie. It is I really dig it. I yeah, that's

The benefit of this top ten list of both of us

is there are movies that we both would have on

our list. Yes. But we don't have to list them

on our specific list. No, no, no. And that's

the whole point of us not sharing our lists with

each other. So we don't like, you know, there's

a little bit of shock value, like, oh, hey, I

remember that. But you tell me why it's your

favorite first kind of thing. Mm hmm. Coming

up next is number seven. What do you got? Ace

Ventura When Nature Calls. Oh, God. and you must

be the monopoly guy yeah well if you were me

then I'd be you and I'd use your body to get

to the top you can't stop me no matter who you

are all righty then at least it's only number

seven well it actually was like a premature last

-minute change what was it number seven before

die hard oh okay It I was you said a you went

already then and I was like, oh, yeah, it's been

true. I've seen I've seen I've seen the second

movie so many times that I I can I can like actively

listen to the movie without watching it and know

exactly what's going on at every specific second.

I've seen it so many times. I didn't even see

it in theater. I mean, I was too young for that,

but I remember seeing it on cable. Yeah, and

they still had him coming out of the Rhino so

That's the only like that's the worst part of

that whole movie like the rest of it I enjoy

but even that part I'm like, yeah, that's a bit

much Yeah Number seven for me is 2004's finger

Up in the air, middle finger in the air to the

Fast and the Furious franchise. It is Torque.

I will never tell you that every time you're

around, everything just goes to hell. Is it telling

I have? Welcome to paradise, boys. It's a place.

Where everything moves so fast, you have to pause

just to catch your breath. But if you stop too

long, you're gone. Now... They need someone to

take the fall. Feds think you did it. Agent McPherson,

Federal Gang Task Force. Reapers think you did

it. And I'm going to his head and Dojo's full

by midnight. Hell, everybody thinks you did it.

But just because they set him up... I took off

so you wouldn't get dragged into it. He left

to protect me. ...doesn't mean they can take

him down. Walk away. Was that a threat? I think

it was. If you're not listening to me, I'll set

up. Innocent men, don't run. Reverse! Catch them,

kill them, and bury them! You shouldn't pick

on girls. We got a plan, right? Wouldn't be any

fun if it was easy. Does it have to be this much

fun? So this was the motorcycle version of Fast

enough areas where they basically took a guy

and his friends and and you know had them on

bikes instead of instead of cars and they actually

make a point in the movie of Basically saying

oh, this is why all you people who drive cars

are such assholes kind of thing What I like about

this film is that it's different. You don't see

a Lot of motorcycle films Martin Henderson, Ice

Cube, Monet Mouser, Adam Scott, Matt Schultz.

Well, it actually does have a Fast and the Furious

connection, because Matt Schultz was Vince in

the Fast and the Furious. Anyway, you know, and

it's just a fun flick that has some awesome music

in it, and I just love seeing that. that the

guy who gets set up and he has to prove that

he's actually the hero and somebody else did

the murder kind of thing, and it's just a lot

of fun. Number six for you, sir. Iron Man. I'm

just not the hero type, clearly. With this laundry

list of character defects, all the mistakes I've

made, largely public. Truth is I am iron man

Yeah, I was not expecting that but okay sure

iron man yes, I I do have superhero films on

mine in sci -fi so Go figure. I never said I

never said you couldn't do that. I just said

I didn't do that. So, yeah, I. I I put that on

there because one, it launched the Marvel Cinematic

Universe to I like Robert Downey Jr. films and

I had to include something with him in it. However,

I. I don't know, that one to me is still probably

the strongest under the three. Even though I

enjoyed all all of them like I feel like the

second one was weakest but the the first the

first one and the third one were pretty good

uh, but I don't know. It's just one of those

one of those movies and I remember seeing this

one in theater So it has that extra pull for

me. Oh, yeah Yeah, everyone that was anyone Went

to see iron man In theaters because that's that

was a huge deal Very very huge deal in 2008 Because

back six years previous when spider -man came

out in on May 3rd of 2002 Spider -man was the

like, oh comic book movies can really be done

like this Marvel movies can really be done like,

you know, okay, I say what you will about Defoe's

costume in the original spider -man movie, but

That movie proved that comic movies could really

be done Realistically and awesomely and iron

man. I love iron man Yeah, I I love how snarky

he is. I love that, you know, it is our DJ Doing

it and yeah, very very cool Well, and he also

said that the worst part of him playing that

role was having to put on the armor Which they

they rectified in later Renditions because it

was all CG. Mm -hmm. So Yeah. Absolutely. But

I like the first film of him actually having

to put it on and deal with it because it shows

you that he's learning how to do this as a character.

So, yeah, very cool. Number six for me is...

I feel like I'm stuck in the early 2000s at this

point now, folks. Late 90s, early 2000s. Oh boy,

good ol' Memphis Reigns. It's gone in 60 seconds.

The remake, the 2000 version with Nick... Wow,

and that's two Nick Cage movies almost in a row

on my list. Time it took you to buy your ticket.

3 .2 minutes. Time it took you to get your popcorn.

2 .5 minutes time it took them Let's go. Let's

go go to steal your car Hello ladies 60 seconds

A day to shop, a day to prep. Surprise attack.

Nice. Little trick I learned in the car thief

return at home. By the time the first car is

reported stolen... Hold this. Your ship's at

sail. We do this, we do it my way. Yours was

a sucker for a redhead. Okay, let's run. Gone.

It's sixty seconds. What do you think is more

exciting? Having sex? Or stealing cars? Again,

I love this movie for the story. I love it for

the cars. I love it for just how cool it was.

Number five for you, sir. Number five for me

is Fun with Dick and Jane. Another one of my

go -to feel -good movies that I watch when I

just want a good laugh. Meet Dick. He's a loving

husband. I'm sure this is a good idea. Just remind

him to be a little less vocal. With a promising

career. The big boys want to see you upstairs.

Which floor? 20th? Not the 51st! Congratulations,

Mr. Hart. But just when he thought he was on

his way up... I believe! I believe! I believe!

I believe! I believe! I believe! I believe! I

believe! I believe! I believe! I believe! I believe!

I believe! I believe! I believe! I believe! I

believe! I believe! I believe! They followed

the rules and we got screwed. Wanna grab a cup

of coffee, Lauren? Ice mocha sounds nice. Alright,

everybody. Two ice mochas. Let's go. Move! Are

you okay, hon? I'm okay. Alright, nobody try

to follow us because we're desperate criminals.

We're crazy people. Are these non -fat muffins?

Are they non -fat muffins? I think so. Oh, jeez,

hon. You gotta get some of those. They're using

their new skill. To teach big business, you want

to rob Jack McAllister a lesson. We gotta get

this guy. He's got to go. Columbia Pictures and

Imagine Entertainment present Jim Carrey, K.

Leoni. Place looks amazing. What's your secret?

Fun with Dick and Jay. We really should turn

down that car. Can't be that bad. I can relate

to it because I too have been laid off before

abruptly by a company and that's what happens

to him in the movie. So, it's very relatable.

Plus, I love Jim Carrey movies. Yeah, you do.

Under most circumstances. He's got a lot of ones

like... There's certain ones, there's no way

I can re -watch them. Yeah. Just because they're...

So stupid Yeah, especially when they come back

for a second one, you know He's only done that

successfully once in my opinion. So but yeah,

that's that's kind of my other go -to movie plus

it's just it's Funny because it's Things you

would never think of mm -hmm as an unemployed

person granted he also applied to multiple jobs

which resonates with me because I applied to

when I was job hunting, I applied to 1 ,500 jobs

before landing one. Right, yeah. So I can totally

relate to the predicament that he's in. Absolutely.

Yeah, I mean, as long as you have a movie that

you enjoy with relatable characters and things

like that, that's always going to be a rewatch

or a favorite kind of thing. For me, my number

four is a 1998 action film. Starring the late,

great Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis, and Meat

Loaf. Hey everyone, future TFG1Mike here, and

as we are about to hear my love of the film Black

Dog, we recorded this before the announcement

of Meat Loaf passing away, so just keep that

in mind. We're releasing this after Meat Loaf

has died. but we talked about it before he died.

Man, I love Black Dog. Now, on with the show.

Rest in peace, Meatloaf. You read your Bible?

Probably not as much as I should. You try and

lead a good life? When I can. That's the most

important thing. This is Black Dog. Black Dog

is the truck driving movie. Jack Cruz has just

been released from jail, and he has to drive

this truck, and he keeps seeing this Black Dog

hallucination, which is brought on by exhaustion.

And this actually is a factual thing. You know,

so, and it... I just love seeing meatloaf as

a villain. It's just fun. Oh, man. Yep. Number

four for you, sir, is Free Guy. Catchphrase.

Catchphrase? Well, I haven't had time to think

one up yet. Well, the catchphrase is a catchphrase.

It's a pretty cool catchphrase. OK. I realized

this movie is is very recent. I've seen it no

less than six times. Is that because you're putting

it on his background or you actually want to

watch it? No, I actually I I initially start

to put it on his background and then I watched

the entire thing. OK. OK. So, yeah, it's I don't

know. It's I well, I think part of it is it's

so original that it just is instantly. It's it's

instantly appealing to me. And so I I don't have

a problem going and watching it just for fun.

Hmm Yeah, absolutely All right number four for

me is Based on a video game franchise it is the

2014 Aaron Paul starring directed by Scott Waugh

It is the finally, after so many years I've been

waiting for this to be made into a film. Need

for Speed. I spent two years thinking about one

moment. He set me up. In our world, you always

go back. He just left him there. That's what

I can't forgive. That's my boy. Yo, T. I'm really

happy you're home. Boys? We miss you, brother.

It's time to celebrate. Call up some females.

Do you know any pretty ones? Like your mama?

What are you thinking, Toby? Let's go put him

away. For life, it's time we make him pay. But

first, we're gonna need a fast car. Y 'all ready?

We're doing this. Racing is an art. But racing

with passion, that's high art. And I think that's

Toby Marshall driving the chariot of the gods.

to give six million dollars to anyone who puts

a stop to him. We'll settle this behind the wheel.

There's an APB out for your arrest in 10 states.

Maybe we should rethink the plan. I'm never gonna

stop. You are out of your mind. I love it. Let's

talk a little bit about video games here, because

that's where Need for Speed comes from. Early

2000s, I was playing all kinds of Need for Speed

games, Hot Pursuit, Hot Pursuit 2, all that stuff.

And I just absolutely loved it. And every time

I would play those games, whether it was on PlayStation

or whether it was on PC, I would be like, a lot

of these environments, a lot of these cars would

make a really, really great film. 2014, they

give us Need for Speed. And I know it's critically

panned and everybody doesn't like it and whatever,

whatever, whatever. Here's what I take away from

this film. Again, it's another one of those,

you know, down on his luck kind of guys, Toby

Marshall, who was played by Aaron Paul. You know,

he has this, he has Marshall Motors and their

mechanics and they work on all these cars and

everything else and all this and all that. You

know, he's a race. He's a street racer. So again,

it's again kids Hello Need for Speed is street

street racing just like Fast and Furious is whatever

he gets set up He has to prove his he is innocence

and things like that What I love about this movie

though is that when I watched this movie for

the first time in theaters in 2014 Everything

I wanted from the video games visually was put

into like every piece of background as they're

driving, every locale that they go to, I can

see in a video game for the Need for Speed franchise

kind of thing. What's also ironic about this

is that we have Rami Malek in this, and this

was the first time I had seen him. I had not

seen Mr. Robot yet, because I don't know, I'd

have to check to see if Mr. Robot premiered before

or after this, but anyway. I think maybe it had

premiered, because I was like, hey, wait a minute,

I know that guy kind of thing. The other interesting

thing with this film is that the guy who's behind

the scenes of what they call the De Leon is,

get this, a recluse billionaire who is played

by Michael Keaton. So in 2014, I was ready for

Michael Keaton to be back. I was like, hey, look,

it's Batman. He's hosting drag races. That's

what he's doing. He's not being Batman. He's

hosting drag races. Oh, I love this movie. And

I love the Nathan first score to this, the instrumental

stuff. It is so fun, so awesome, so interesting.

All right, getting down to the nitty gritty here,

folks. Number three, what do you got? Alrighty,

here we go, and I'm gonna break your mind. I'm

going with the... Spider -Man 2002 Raimi films.

All three of them? Yes. All is one. Really? Yeah.

Well, I'm going with the trilogy, not isolating

them. Okay. So, I won... Spider -Man 2002 was

one of the first superhero movies I saw in the

theater. Actually, it was the first one I saw

in the theater. Who am I? You sure you want to

know? If somebody told you I was just your average

ordinary guy, not a care in the world, somebody

lied. Truth is, it wasn't always like this. There

was a time when life was a lot less complicated.

Can I take your picture for the school paper?

Sure. In this lab, we have 15 genetically enhanced

super spiders. There's 14. One's missing. Peter,

are you alright? I'm fine. Pete, look, you're

changing. I know I'm gonna do exactly the same

thing at your age. No, not exactly. Wow Peter

may introduce my father Norman Osborne great

honor to meet you sir Harry tells me you're quite

the science whiz You know I'm something of a

scientist myself What the hell was that? Whatever

it is, somebody has to stop it. With great power

comes great responsibility. This is my gift.

Wow. It is my curse. Who are you? Who am I? I'm

Spider -Man. Do I get to say thank you this time?

You do too much. You're not Superman, you know.

And I loved that stinking movie. Yes, it had

some bad CGI when he jumped across buildings.

Yeah, like really bad CGI. I mean, it's 2002.

They were just, you know, doing this for the

first time kind of thing. I mean, it's not like

Spider -Man can wear a dark cape and be in a

dark alley in Gotham City. So yeah, but I don't

know. I liked Tobey Maguire's take on it. I liked

the fun that happened in the movie. I saw myself

in it a little bit with the nerdy dude that just

ends up in not a great place with high school.

I was not fond of high school, so it resonated

in a lot of ways for me. I really enjoyed that

movie and then you know continuing on through

the rest of them. I don't know I have a more

greater appreciation for the second third film

upon rewatches now and when I saw them originally

I didn't quite care for them as much and I did

see them in theater because I remember having

the the musical soundtrack to both of them all

three of them because I went and bought them

at record town and that dates me some but so

so yeah, so I mean I really enjoyed those films

and then a lot of the callbacks that are in the

latest spider -man movie just made me go back

and rewatch it again and I Haven't seen them

in a number of years, but I have rewatched them

numerous times over the years So it was it was

nice to go back to it with a fresh eye and and

rewatch them and they're actually Still they

still hold up in a really good even for today's

standards. Mm -hmm So, I have plans. And I did

this intentionally since we created this podcast

two years ago. I've had this plan for two years.

May 3rd, 2022, we will be releasing an episode

where we cover the entire Rema trilogy, 20 years

after it released. Oh, so you want to do that

this year? Oh, yeah, I kind of have to. Number

three for me is a 2001 film It is John Cusack

Kate Beckinsale Jeremy Piven again Along with

Jim's dad Eugene Levy, which he's even annoying

in this film as this character He's annoying

in everything though. And I think the only thing

he's not annoying in is the the capital one The

new Capital One ads, the car insurance ads that

he's doing now, whatever. Anyway, serendipity.

Just checking. Favorite movie? The correct answer

is Cool Hand Luke. Favorite sexual position?

Favorite New York moment? This one's climbing

the charts. I'm flattered. Maybe you should give

me your phone number. That was an accident. There

are no accidents. This is wrong! You don't have

the most incredible night of your life and then

leave it all to chance, do you? See this book?

I do. Tonight when I get home, I'm gonna write

my name and number inside it, and then first

thing tomorrow morning I'm gonna sell it to a

new book store. What happens if I meet somebody

before I find it? You won't. That's just crazy.

Hey. It's Sarah. My name's Sarah. You're getting

married in three days. Why? Would you risk your

relationship just to search for some old pipe

dream? You could enter this account number in

the computer and just tell me your name. When

you put it that way. No. You cannot be over here.

You cannot come over to this side of the counter.

This is really important. Oh boy, did it again.

Cross the line. I'm telling you right now, British

women do not age well. Years ago, you know, she

probably looked like baby spies, but now she

could look like... Old Spice. I'm thinking about

this mystery guy I met a million and a half hours

ago. And it's possible that I threw the whole

thing away in a moment of destiny. I need an

old address for Sarah Thomas. You're my hero.

You're out there, man, and you're making it happen.

I'm looking for Jonathan Traygood. You must be

late. Late for what? For the wedding. Hey, wait!

John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale. When love feels

like magic, you call it destiny. When destiny

has a sense of humor, you call it serendipity.

They say that once in your lifetime, someone

comes along whom you're absolutely meant to be

with. For my friend, that person was me. So this

is a romantic comedy it's like I said Cusack

and Beckinsale and I Just what I like about this

movie is that you have two people meeting just

randomly which doesn't really happen anymore,

especially nowadays and They kind of hit it off

as just kind of to a man and a woman talking

like, you know, we don't know anything about

their lives, but like in parts of it he you know

they're asking each other's question like he's

you know she's like favorite movie the correct

answer is cool hand luke and i remember that

from the trailer uh you know and and it's set

in new york and it's set a few years ago and

then a few years later kind of thing and it's

this whole it's just a nice like i don't want

to it's not a turn off your brain thing it's

a thing of Like, looking at this movie and seeing

how maybe you want your relationship to be kind

of thing. Mm -hmm. Oh. So that is my number three.

What is your number two, sir? Okay. Uh, I'm gonna

pull this one on you again. Oh, boy. The entire

Back to the Future trilogy. Oh. Marty! You've

gotta come back with me! Where? Back to the future!

Wait a minute. What are you doing, Doc? I need

fuel. Go ahead. Quick. Get in the car. No, no,

no, no. Doc, I just got here, okay? Jennifer's

here. We're gonna take the new truck for a spin.

Well, bring her along. This concerns her too.

Wait a minute, Doc. What are you talking about?

What happens to us in the future? We're gonna

become assholes or something? No, no, no, no,

no, Marty. Both you and Jennifer turn out fine.

It's your kids, Marty. Something has gotta be

done about your kids. Hey, Doc, we better back

up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Roads? Well, we're going. We don't need roads.

For a minute there, I thought you were gonna

say the Amazing Spider films, but okay. I like

those as much as everybody else, which is kind

of funny. That was not... I don't even enjoy

the current run until this latest film. My Spider

-Man was Tobey Maguire, so I resonate with that.

Anyways, I really enjoy the Back to the Future

films. I have that on... It's one of the few

I didn't get rid of when I did my massive purge.

I still have my Back to the Future Trilogy Blu

-ray set and I periodically pop that back in

there and watch it. Usually I watch it on streaming,

but if it's not on somewhere, I pop that back

into my Blu -ray and watch it and enjoy every

second of it. Yep, absolutely. It's one of the

few movies that my wife and I can both agree

on. Yes, back to the future is amazing all three

of them even the third film even I do enjoy that

one now upon being older I actually enjoy it

more than the second What I liked about the third

movie is that it was The first two films first

film is mainly about Marty Second film kind of

mainly about Marty, but it's also about doc as

well But the third film gets all that out of

the way because it's Marty having to go back

in time to save Doc or he thinks he has to save

Doc and all this and all that. And we get the

time train and we get, you know, we get so many

awesome lines and so many great characters. Plus,

you get ZZ Top with some music in there. I just

don't want the whole movie like yeah going back.

I I have a deeper appreciation for that film

Yeah, I remember when we that was one of the

first ship. That was the first show it was Episode

one Yep, I did not care for that. It'll be very

much at all and I remember it I I was just like

beating it up and You know looking back at it

now. I'm like It's very enjoyable. I I could

see myself watching this movie often and I do

Yeah, I I like trying to imitate some of the

voices. So it's of course very fun for me. Yep

Absolutely, my number two is or coming in at

number two for me is Another romantic comedy

thing because I am just that kind of person I

guess it is When did that come out? Was it 2006

or 2008? I do not even remember. Good Lord, you

think I would know this thing? Yeah, well, okay.

Wow, June 16th, 2006. Okay. Keanu Reeves, Sandra

Bullock. No, not Speed. It is The Lake House.

So one of the things I love about this movie

is that it's a... Another way to show two people

having a friendship a relationship kind of thing

It's like this will they won't they will they

ever meet because they are technically two years

apart from each other and and It's just the way

that I like how the characters interact with

each other how I loved Reeves and bullocks acting

together. It's just a fun romantic comedy that

even though there's two years difference between

them what's fun about that is that you see like

him going to see where she is and blah blah and

you don't think anything's going to happen because

hello they're always seems that they're always

two years apart but somehow Through the magic

of movies, at the end, they end up together and

it's just really, really fun. This year, come

to a place. This house is about connection. Where

the impossible lives. Can this be happening?

It's amazing. Keanu Reeves. Do you have a girlfriend?

Oh, you're going to think I'm crazy. Sandra Bullock.

It's kind of a long distance relationship. The

Lake House. Yeah, I've enjoyed that one just

because I like playing with the mind screw that's

the time travel. And then the dog ends up both

of theirs. Yep. Jack. Yep, yep, yep. Jack the

dog. What is your number one most re -watched

film, sir? I re -watched this one so many times

as a kid. I wore out the VHS tape. Uh -huh. And

you wouldn't, you know, and this is for, this

is for live action, because animated, I have

a different tape that was completely worn out.

This one was Star Trek 6 The Undiscovered Country.

Really? Yes. Oh my. I rewatched this movie so

many times. That's why I have such a fascination

with the uniforms from that era of Star Trek

and why I like the Enterprise A. More than the

enterprise Oh one even though they refit them

and they look identical except for one has an

a and one does not Yeah, and the bridge of the

enterprise looks so much more I don't know. It

just looks awesome like compared to anything

that was before it and honestly anything that

was after it and other than like the enterprise

e maybe and I don't know. I just I really like

everything about that film plus it came out in

92 mm -hmm and All of the, you know, you remember

libraries, how they used to have those signs

that say pick up a book and read or blah, blah,

blah. Well, they had the entire Star Trek cast

from that film on those posters. Yeah. As well

as like bookmarks and stuff. And so I that was

kind of my my main gateway film of Star Trek.

I have series that were more watched than that.

But as far as films were concerned, because I

had the entire for six films on VHS tape, which

when you put them together, they had the, they

built the picture of the enterprise on one side.

Right. Yeah. The, the binding. Yep. Yeah. So

I, I dunno, I just, I really enjoyed that, that

film to the point that like I said, I wore out,

I wore out the VHS tape. Yeah, absolutely. So

like you, I don't think I would put, No, I wouldn't

put secret of the sword at number one even though

I debt was a VHS tape I wore out from a rental

store, but anyway Number one for me is it all

comes down to Coughlin's law. Anything else is

always something better Coughlin's law 1988 Tom

Cruise Brian Brown Elizabeth shoe it is cocktail

In one square mile of this saloon lies the greatest

concentration of wealth in the world. Yes. But

how was a bartender gonna get his hands on any

of it? This is the big time. Are you ready for

the big time, young Mr. Flanagan? I think I can

handle it. This isn't what I ordered! It's wine!

Angel tip! Let's get your act together! A white

wine! Alright! Now what was it that you ordered?

A martini! What's in that? There are many ways

to fool a customer. You will learn them all.

Yes, Obi -Wan. You get the women, you get the

bucks. And you can see the color of their panties,

and you know you've got talent. Stick with me,

son, I'll make you a star. I want you guys working

for me! This is a real opportunity. Jet -set

bartenders, eh? The Caribbean Jamaican man. How

about a drink? Am I rum specialties, perhaps?

Bartender with the line forever. The bartender.

Now, he's about to be swept off his feet. Wish

we could stay here forever. By the one thing

he didn't expect. Don't tell me Brian Flanagan's

in love. This lady's gonna do a number on you,

right? This is more than just a one -night stand.

You made a move on her? I'm your friend, you

dumbass! I don't have any friends! As of now,

that is for sure! Your sexy little smile's not

gonna work this time. What the hell's this? That's

for you. Ten thousand dollars? Is that all your

daughter's worth? You think I'm letting some

bartender walk into my family? I love you. I

want to marry you. Throw this bum out of here!

You're so hung up on money. You see this? Jordan!

This. It's hell. And as for the way I feel about

you, you really shouldn't know. Tom Cruise. Now,

I was eight years old when this movie came out.

My mom let me watch anything and everything,

so I was watching this movie from 1989 to probably

1992. This is an R -rated film about a bartender,

about a military guy who comes home who needs

a job and he finds Brian Brown's Douglas Coughlin

in a bar. and they are these bartenders in New

York and this, that, and the other. It's just

an awesome 80s movie that is not... It screams

80s, but at the same time, it's not... It's one

of those things where it isn't Die Hard, it isn't

Terminator, it isn't Blade Runner, which I think

Blade Runner was in the 70s, but whatever. The

point is, it's not Tron, it's not this, it's

not that. It's your... I don't want to say basic,

but I guess I could use that terminology. It's

your, again, most of my choices end up with a

guy who's down on his luck, a guy who needs to

find something to do, a guy who needs to do this,

do that, whatever. And what I love about this

movie is the music that's used in it, the acting,

and again, this was 1988. So this was... probably

released it right around the same time as Back

to the Future 2. And by 89 and 90, when you would

see it on VHS, you're like, hey, wait, what's

Jennifer McFly doing in a bar kind of thing?

But anyway, the music in this, and one of the

reasons why I love this so much is when I was

in elementary school, our teacher for, I think,

Christmas break or summer break or One of the

years or I think it was a third grade or fourth

grade third or fourth grade. I forget which one

it was She had said that she and her husband

were going to Aruba. Well, guess what song is

used in cocktail No idea the Beach Boys Kokomo

So yeah, that's why I absolutely love this I

wish I don't Think the score was ever at like

I know the soundtrack was released on multiple

various things But yeah, the j peter robinson

score. I don't think was ever released if anything

All and record records needs to do is release

this on on cd or something or other But cocktail,

I just enjoy the film even though it's about

Bartending even though it's about drinking and

even though it's about this that anything and

everything else It's still a Movie about someone

who was trying to live his life and make the

best of it that he can at the end of the day
