Drafting the Best 1990s Movie Decade

Hi, this is John Delancey and you are listening

to the Geek Cast Radio Network. Today on episode

72 of the Cinema Geeks, we discuss the casting

news for the Fantastic Beasts and Assassin's

Creed. We talk about the newest Disney princess.

We react to all the new plans from Marvel and

Michael Bay. And in our main attraction, we attempt

to create the best decade ever. All that and

more coming up on episode 72 with the Cinema

Geeks. That's right. It's episode 72 of the cinema

geeks and I am one of your cinema geeks the optimist

solo joining me as you heard is Movie revolt

Dan. Hello. Hey, how's it going? Not too bad

and also Hard candy Mandy. Hello Not much before

we get going Dan. How's your week then? Ah, well,

I've had a pretty crappy computer week Which

is for those wondering why there is not a geek

why whether it's not a both talking in circles

in cinema keys podcast last week. Hopefully,

though, you'll be getting a double dose next

week of Cinema Geek. So by the time this drop,

well, after this drops, most likely, we'll be

getting the finishing of the Quentin Tarantino

retrospective. But I had some computer problems.

So yeah, things went a lot of errors of many

hours of podcasting and many hours of editing

kind of went down the tubes. And then people

don't know that a little behind the scenes, I

guess, or as a trooper, as to say, inside baseball,

that we kind of split. our editing duties. So

I do the editing on most of the main shows and

Dan does the editing on most of the retrospectives,

etc. So every time you see a delay, it's because

one of us has had computer issues because we're

both using fossils for computers, I think. Yeah,

mine's just been powered, so I just had to get

some more coal. Amanda, how's your week been

going? Oh, I've been sick as crap, so not so

great. All right, fantastic. I guess the biggest

highlight for me, let's do what In Session does

and piss everybody off by talking about sports.

But it's a very exciting time because the Cubs

are kicking ass and taking names. Get actually

a couple days off so they can set their rotation.

And I don't even know who won today's game, but

they're awaiting the Mets or the Dodgers. And

I'm sure that's over by now, but I don't know

who it is. So Saturday we get game one. You know,

Cubs fans like to get super excited and then

get their hearts broken and all kinds of stuff.

So I don't know how that's going to happen this

year, but I embraced for it. We've been to the

theater a few times. We'll be talking about that.

I got to mention I wanted to bring this up because

I have the whole movie pass thing that a lot

of people, a lot of other movie podcasters have

talked about here and there. And. for those of

you that don't know that's a subscription service

basically that you pay x number of dollars a

month and then you can go to as many movies as

you want but you can only go to one every 20

-24 hours it's supposed to be 24 hours but we

went 23 hours apart this last week and it led

us so it must not be too strict on that but um

i gotta say i really like this deal because i'm

the one i'm the only one that has it amanda doesn't

have the movie pass and it's working out to our

benefit because for some reason movie pass gives

me credit for Instead of just like an entry ticket

to the movie they give me basically $10 and I

don't know what it is 53 cents or 63 cents or

something and Our theater doesn't charge that

much. So what happens is we order or you know

We select two tickets and then I swipe the movie

pass and it just takes $10 off and like this

last week We went to a movie and Amanda's movie

ticket was $4 Perfect. They might have thought

I was a little kid though. So not only am I getting

the, not the free movies, but basically I guess

the free movies, if you're not counting the monthly

payment, but then Amanda's getting like half

-price movies, so I guess we're beating the system,

but nobody tell them that please. So we can continue

to do that as long as possible. Alright, like

we do every week, we'll start with the box office.

A couple weeks back when we had our last episode,

we had a couple interesting predictions. Mine...

we'll start with because I was wrong. And my

prediction was that as the Rotten Tomatoes score

started for Crimson Peak and Bridge of Spies,

that Crimson Peak would be the better reviewed

film. And I should say I'm happy that I'm wrong

because I do have Mr. Spielberg in the fantasy

film league. And so far it's getting a lot of

praise and right now Crimson Peak is sitting

at a 67 % and Bridge of Spies is at a 92. So

I did not expect that to go over as well and

I think even some of the main critics, I think

Roper, said that he would be shocked if it's

not in the conversation or in the announcements

when the best pictures get announced later on.

So I was wrong, but I'm glad I'm wrong because

I've been trying to... Champion, I guess, Bridge

of Spies the whole year for a couple different

reasons. Dan, you were much better in your predictions

last week. You said that The Martian was going

to open up big time. I think you said it was

going to be over 50 million, but it was not going

to beat Gravity. I don't know how. Yes, I said

it would be over 50 million, but less than 55

million. And so I was right in the right range.

So it did really well, but it didn't quite beat

Gravity's record, which I was happy to be right

about. I feel like you could have put it down

to the thousand dollar mark and I think you were

going to be right that time. That's how close

you were to pinpointing exactly how much it made.

So very impressive with that prediction. Coming

up for this week, we've got a couple major releases

that are going to be coming out. We have the

two that I just mentioned in Crimson Peak and

Bridge of Spies. We also have, as far as theater

releases, Goosebumps being brought out there.

So Dan, what are you thinking as far as a prediction

for next week? I'm gonna actually try to do the

top three and see how I can do with this, because

we got a lot coming out, but... And Bridger's

Prize is probably really notable, but I'm actually

thinking, you know, there hasn't really been

a family film coming out. Goosebumps has a, I

think, I don't know, a lot of people from the

90s know the Goosebumps, love the Goosebumps,

so I'm actually gonna say that Goosebumps comes

in at number one this weekend. I'm thinking actually

that The Martian, that it's gonna drop, to number

two, and then I'll go Bridges Spies number three,

and then for Kicker, I'll say Crimson Peak four.

Man, adding a little extra at the end, that can

come back to bite you sometimes. All right, interesting

predictions there. I like the idea with the family

movie kind of outscoring those. It's hard to

predict the audience for Bridges Spies and Crimson

Peak as far as how much they'll come out, at

least for the first week. I think Bridge of Spies

is one of those that has more of a slow build.

I feel like The Martian, The Bridge of Spies,

and Christmas Peak are kind of going at similar

audiences somewhat. I mean, so I think that will

kind of split them, which Goosebumps is the only

thing. I mean, there's Hotel Transylvania, but

that's already been out for a while. I feel like

Goosebumps is going, it's going to stand out

more. So that's why I think it has the best shot

at number one. All right, Amanda, what do you

got for next week? I also want to do the top

three. It's gonna be different than Dan I'm gonna

say Martian number one Crimson peak at number

two and goose bumps at number three So Martian

crimson peak and goose bumps. Yep. All right

Geez, let's be born and do something similar.

I'm not gonna go with the order of the top three

at the box office I am only gonna predict what

Order the new the three new films will land in

and what I mean by that is out of the three new

films Which one will score the most and the second

most and the third most at the box office? So

that way I can avoid trying to lump Martian into

it. See how I'm cheating there And I will go

with very similar dance, but slight very similar

but slightly different because that's a thing

I'll go with Goosebumps at number one Crimson

Peak at number two and Bridge of Spies at number

three. That's just the order that those three

will finish. There could be stuff in between

them or on top of them, et cetera. So Goosebumps,

Crimson Peak, and then Bridge of Spies. So we'll

see which one of us is closer. Last time we all

tried to do something like this. We were all

miserably wrong. so we can hope for better results

this next time. I like to think we were happily

wrong, but you know, whatever. I like that. I

like that thought there. As far as what movies

are scoring the best in the box office right

now, as far as this last weekend, obviously The

Martian once again has had some good weeks there.

So we got Martian at number one. We have Hotel

Transylvania. two at number two, staying right

where it was. The new one, Pan, opens up at number

three, and then the intern stays at number four,

and Sicario drops from number three to number

five. Any surprises as far as Pan, the Martian,

or anything else, Dan, as far as the results

go so far? I am surprised that the Pan was such

a miserable flop that it was. I know it was not

really reviewed very well, but I felt like I...

ads were everywhere Hugh Jackman might bring

people in but yeah that I didn't think it'd do

that bad 15 million dollars with a you know 150

million dollar budget so I don't know who has

Hugh Jackman I think I do you do yeah man fantasy

football is going well though at least I guess

yeah yeah I was surprised at how bad it did I

figured at least the I mean it's not a movie

that's aimed at us. So I thought, like you're

saying with Goosebumps, there hasn't been a lot

of more family -friendly stuff lately outside

of, like you said, Hotel Transylvania 2. So I

thought there might be an audience for this as

far as the younger crowd, family crowd, et cetera,

but they did not turn out for this. And they're

probably wise not to have, as we'll get into

probably a tiny bit later on, because we have,

Amanda and I have seen this one. But yeah, I

was surprised at how far... that one fell and

it's got a ways to try to get to its 150 million

dollar budget. The Martian and Hotel Transylvania

2 both have broken the 100 million mark so I

think everybody involved with the Martian should

be pretty happy with how that's gone. Amanda,

anything surprising about the box office from

this last week? Only the fact that the intern

is beating out Sicario right now. Barely. I mean,

barely as far as the week, but as far as Total

Gross, yeah, it's almost doubled it. I think

that just has to do with the demographic as far

as, you know, comedies like that are going to

play a little bit better to a wider range of

audiences. So as far as the Rotten Tomatoes for

these movies, you got some good things to go

see right now, folks, if you're wanting to go

to the theater. So you got a lot of stuff that's

getting reviewed pretty darn... Well, and The

Martian is one of those at 93 % on Rotten Tomatoes.

You also have Sicario at 93%. The Walk at 84%.

Black Mass 76%. The Intern 60%. Even Everest,

even though we didn't necessarily love it, is

reviewed at 72%. So you've got a lot of stuff.

Steve Jobs might be trickling into a few theaters

around you here pretty soon. That's at 83%. So

the only ones you really have to watch out for

is Pan, which is currently at a 26%. And if you're

a big fan of The Perfect Guy, I would probably,

or that type of a film, that's at 19%, so don't

get your hopes up there. But Dan, it's definitely

a sign of how things have changed here in the,

what, three weeks? I know, I was thinking about

it like last month, where I was like, you know,

the big movie this weekend is... The visits or

something like that. So right. It was like it

was like three weeks in a row It was like the

war room perfect guy and Some other thing that

I never every single movie was like 30 % at Ron's

made up. So yeah So it's definitely a sign of

the fall coming and all the good movies starting

to trickle out So definitely try to get to the

theater this weekend if you can there's a lot

of choices for you That's concluding all those

new ones that we talked about that are also getting

really high scores on Rotten Tomatoes. So Let's

get into the news and talk about what's new and

exciting in the movie world. We've got a couple

different things. We're going to hit all kinds

of our standard topics except for Star Wars.

We're going to keep Star Wars out of it this

time. It's almost like it's... Star Wars was

in the news every week for us for like a year

and now that we're 63 days or so away from the

Force Awakens it seems like everybody's calmed

down on the news and now we're just anticipating.

So starting with something that I'm interested

to see if you guys have any opinions on, because

I am obviously the ignorant one when it comes

to comic book stuff. But Marvel and Fox are going

to be teaming up, not necessarily for a movie

related thing, but because obviously Marvel has

a huge movie presence, thought it was somewhat

interesting that they're kind of uniting forces

for some X -Men spin -off shows revolving around

characters Hellfire and Legion. Dan, do you know

anything about the Hellfire Club comics or? Yeah

Hellfire Club is kind of it's if you saw X -Men

First Class you saw the Hellfire Club with Sebastian

Shaw which played by Kevin Bacon and Emma Frost

played by Jessica Jones. They're kind of like

this they live in you know the Victorian area

I believe or what have you and they're very they

present themselves as high esteemed people with

like wearing the classic clothing and things

like that in the The movie, they were more like

60s styles. It was almost like a play on the

Playboy Club at the time. So that's kind of like

their gimmick. A lot of their... Characters are

named after chess pieces. There's like the white

cream queen the black king and black knight and

stuff like that So it's a that's kind of their

gimmick per se so they're their villains So I'm

curious to see how that works and legion. He's

actually the son of Charles Xavier who? Honestly

character. I'm not the biggest fan of he's got

weird wonky hair, but really honestly odd to

see that those are the Directions are going for

TV shows. I can kind of see the the The Hellfire

because it's like, you know mutants in Mad Men

or Mad Men with mutants the legion one I don't

I don't know I'm not I don't see where they're

going with that and I don't see it listing necessarily

an actual channel destination for the the Hellfire

club one, but for Legion it says that Pilot has

been ordered by FX, so looks like that one will

be coming to FX with Fargo creator Noah Hawley

attached to write and produce. Amanda, any familiarity

with either of these? Just the Hellfire Club

stuff from what I've seen in first class, but

that's it. Alright, so if you're a fan of X -Men...

characters, then you should be in line for some

TV shows. Heck, we've got TV shows for all kinds

of other comic book characters right now, so

why not have the X -Men join the club? We talked

about plans, and we're going to have a string

of news stories here about different people's

plans for the upcoming years, so let's start

with Universal. And that was the kind of shift

that we saw with Universal and Warner Brothers

involving the property of King Kong and Godzilla.

So what we're going to get here is we're going

to get an actual trilogy starting in 2017, which

we've already known about, which is Kong Skull

Island. And then the next year, Godzilla 2. And

then obviously the predictable trilogy. third

film, which would be Godzilla versus Kong, which

is going to be due out in 2020. And they've already

talked about how Mothra, Rodan, and a bunch of

other famous iconic monster characters are going

to be involved in those films. Dan, any interest

in this or? I don't know, honestly, because I

know we have this going on. We talked about it

too a while ago with the Rampage movie with The

Rock. I don't know. It could be cool, it could

be fun, I guess, but, A, if they're gonna do

King Kong and Godzilla, they have to adjust,

make King Kong a lot bigger, or it's gonna be

a really short movie, because, you know. I mean,

I guess it's weird that you're seeing this pushed

forward, but Pacific Rim is not being pushed

forward. I feel like, you know... Have a better

story there potentially with Pacific Rim, but

what you gonna do? So, I mean I'd probably see

it but honestly I Not being the hugest Godzilla

fan. I'm not super super psyched for any of this

news I feel like you know, we talk a lot about

how for a bunch of these team up type things

or culmination events that we need to we always

want to see the buildup we want to see the individual

stories we want the characters to be built up

I feel like this is one example where that's

not necessary like just go straight to Godzilla

versus King Kong like you know I get the introduction

to the Kong character in this version but you

know we can skip Godzilla 2 we can skip some

of that just go straight to the whole party Godzilla,

King Kong, Mothra, Rodan let's just throw them

all together Don't know if I'll have the patience

to sit through three movies and then still be

excited for the 2020 Yeah, like I'm not very

super excited for a movie that has moth in the

title No, no it is greatest enemy light His greatest

enemy any type of indirect contact from anything

Just flattens. But yes, I mean, I guess some

people might be excited but I'm not one of those.

Amanda, what do you think about King Kong, Godzilla,

Mothra, Rodan, all of them coming together in

three more films? Why three films? I don't get

it. Just condense it down to one. I don't give

a shit. I did like the Matthew Broderick fucking

Godzilla. I did not see the newer Godzilla. I

don't care to see it. If there's going to be

a bunch of craziness happening in these movies

with all these old school... What do you want

to call them? This little arch enemies or whatever

the other monsters? He's gonna fight then I might

have to get down on it just to just to give it

a try all right Good, let's just get all the

other plans out of the way because I think that's

been beat to death by some people, but obviously

Marvel has had some big news in the last little

bit about how they're shifting plans for Phase

3. Dan, I don't know how much you've talked about

this with other people, but the biggest thing

here is that they're trying to squeeze in, obviously,

a Ant -Man sequel, Ant -Man and the Wasp, which

would push Captain Marvel back to 2019. I guess

the biggest thing I'm coming away with here is

that... Marvel has 13 movies scheduled to come

out between now and 2020. Yeah, and I've heard

there's some rumors that some movies might get

canceled, most notably the Inhumans. And I heard

for different reasons, partially maybe because

the Inhumans are becoming more and more a part

of Marvel and they maybe don't. I feel like they

can wait, so maybe they'll go a different direction.

I have a theory that maybe we'll see a humans

TV show or like a spinoff with an agent's shield.

So I do wonder if we'll see some more shifts.

So I do feel like they just throw out movie,

like we're going to make a movie these years

and then figure it out later. It's like. Just,

I don't know, they just like keep... We're gonna

throw some out there to see what sticks and what

people get excited about. Exactly, like we're

gonna double down. It's like we didn't even deal

yet. You can't do that. Give us some time. There's

no cards on the table. But what about just the

idea of Ant -Man having a sequel? Do you think

that's something that you can get behind? Oh,

yeah, I did. I did like Ant -Man. So I'm all

for a sequel and I'm kind of glad to see the

wasp in there. So I'm excited for it, just for

sure. Yeah, I'm intrigued definitely because

of the combination with the Wasp obviously has

more of a central character in that. So I'm down

for that. I don't know, like I said, I'm trying

not to keep too much as far as what's happening

three, four, five years from now in these big

type of... deliberations and all this type of

stuff because so much of it is gonna change like

we see over and over again in the Marvel world

in the DC world etc so I'll just wait till it's

that year and when I have to decide what I'm

most anticipated for and what's gonna make money

and then I'll start thinking about it Amanda

what about you any interest or excitement for

Ant -Man sequel? You know I really get excited

about any comic book superhero movies Um, so

I'm not really too, um, too picky on that until

I've seen it. I mean, I'll know if I like it

when I see it. All right. And the last, as far

as the big planning process goes, and Dan, I

know you probably already know which one we're

talking about, but if I was to tell you that,

quote, nine of the most creative writers around,

including the man behind A Beautiful Mind, sat...

Together in a room over a three month period

of time to plan a movie franchise It's transformers

the first thing that comes to your mind No Planning

and transformers movies is not something I kind

of put together So yeah, if you guys haven't

been paying attention they've decided to plot

out the next ten years of transformers films

This is Nine different writers that apparently

shot ideas off of each other for three months

and now they've got the next ten years of Transformers

film plotted out and that's going to start next

year with Transformers 5 with Michael Bay returning

as director which the movie will then be released

in 2017. Dan is this the worst movie news ever

my question is when they say plan out these movies

is it let's plan how we're gonna use This money

that we're gonna get to buy small islands or

something like that Is that really the planning

that's going on? Is it really in reference to

the movies or is it? reference to that I I when

it comes to news like this I kind of just take

you at the grandest all because I feel like you

hear the we're planning You know years in advance,

but it never ends up happening they look at something

like after earth and they had all these ideas

for creating this universe and it's all the stuff

that was going to happen and never did so i mean

transformers it may happen because those movies

make a ton of cash but i guess they'll look i'm

like we already have four bad transformer films

what are you going to do get four more it's like

you can't yeah Like, I would get excited if this

was a completely different group outside of Michael

Bay and outside of the companies that have been

involved with this, if it was someone else that

somehow all of a sudden had the rights and they're

like, look, we're gonna do this, we already know

it's gonna make a lot of money, so we got this

and we're gonna actually plan it out and put

some thought into it, but you can't convince

me that the people behind these last four movies

all of a sudden are gonna put some actual time

and thought into this. I just don't know what

more you can do with the Transformers. They've

destroyed so many cities. Maybe if they go into

space or something like that, that'd be good.

That's the only thing that could happen is if

they abandon Earth altogether and never came

back. Just have the rest in space. Amanda, what

do you think? You're ready for ten more years

of Transformers movies? I can't grasp ten years

of Transformers movies. I can't take it. It'll

be worth it if it supplies us with 10 more years

of podcast gems as far as JD and Tim for first

time watchers going at it. If we got 10 more

episodes where they fight each other, then that

would make it worth it, I guess. But yeah, this

is stupid, so moving on. Jennifer Lawrence making

some career decisions here. I want to know if

you think it's a wise choice or not. Because

she has apparently dropped out of Richard Linklater's

next film and is instead going to team up with

Darren Aronofsky in his next indie film. I don't

know anything about the films that she's either,

you know... joining or abandoning. She's also

departing another film from Jeanette Wall's memoir,

The Glass Castle, so she must be really on board

for this Aronofsky film, but do you think it's

an interesting choice going from, I mean, Linklater's

a hot name out there right now. Yeah, it's interesting.

I don't know, like, I don't know if I could see

Jennifer Lawrence in a Linklater film, though,

so maybe it's a good choice. Yeah, it's hard

to say too without knowing what exactly the films

are about or what she knows as far as maybe some

of the ideas or the And it could be a variety

of different reasons, you know, it could be like

the part didn't work out scheduling So hey, I

mean it all good for her. I guess I don't know

I heard it in You know her seeing an Aronofsky

film. I mean Aronofsky's he's done some crazy

things. Oh, I guess I don't know I'm glad though

that In hindsight, the general idea of this is

that she's going and being with good directors.

So I think that's a plus. Right. Have you seen

Black Swan, Amanda? No. I have not either. That's

one I have to catch up with. It's a blind spot.

Natalie Portman? Yes. Yep, that needs to be added

to the list of things I need to see because I

need to catch up with some some of his other

work So interesting move for Jennifer Lawrence,

though It did make the headlines this week and

then I got a couple news items here that I know

Amanda is going to Enjoy here and these are have

to do with Casting like we talked about in the

teaser at the beginning Amanda some new names

attached to the Harry Potter spinoff film Fantastic

and where to find them. So first John Voight

Alright, and and humans. I don't know if I'm

gonna say that right Gemma Chan and Selma's Carmen

Ijogo Now I'd have to see some pictures of those

two individuals to know but John Boyd I guess

is the biggest name there and then along with

that like within days of that Came the news that

Ron Perlman is going to play a goblin in Fantastic

Beasts and where to find them now that might

just be in voiceover work because Most of the

goblins that we've seen so far in that franchise

that are not very large So I don't know if he's

actually gonna be playing, you know in person,

but it's at least the voice to So, what do you

think Ron Perlman John Voight adding to the list

of Serious serious casting here. Can you be more

excited for this film or not? You know, I haven't

let myself get too excited because it still weighs

out, right? I mean, so I need to kind of keep

my shit on lock until I'm ready to absolutely

lose my head. Is this an automatic pick for one

of your most anticipated films of 2016? Yes.

Dan, how's this one rising or falling in your

anticipation level? Honestly, that that news

hasn't affected a great deal. I do like Rob Perlman.

It's good to see that, but I feel like I'm pretty

excited for it. To begin with so unless something

is completely out of left field like Larry the

cable guy is the star of it or something like

that I think I'll be It's a it's a it's a form

of being alive, but I don't know Yeah, I think

a lot of people are somewhat anticipating what

exactly is going to happen with that film. Also

some casting news as far as Assassin's Creed

and its attempt to be that video game film that

actually works. And the two names that are being

added, we already had obviously Mr. Michael Fassbender

and Marion Cotillard. And now we are adding in

Brendan Gleeson to play Michael Fassbender's

father. as well as Jeremy Irons to play her father.

So, Dan, does that raise the stakes for Assassin's

Creed? That's pretty... I mean, Brennan Gleason

is Michael Fassbrenner's father. Interesting.

I mean, I wonder how big of a role that's gonna

be in Honest Day, but that... Pretty good casting.

I got a lot and Jeremy Irons in that in a movie

with Assassin's Creed does feel like it's you

know That's like a role. He's born to play so

it's I'm liking it. I'm liking what they're doing.

I think I don't know anybody He's playing the

main guy whatever his name is the dude that's

an assassin with a Creed Yeah, he's got Creed.

He's an assassin if I were to throw out those

four names Don't think most people would predict

that that's a video game film. Yeah, it's better

than the cast for Super Mario Brothers So Amanda

Amanda this one's also coming out in 2016 So

we talked about two in a row that are automatic

top tens for you as far as most anticipated Just

bust that out there if anybody can help me finish

this game The video game guru of the two of us

is definitely Amanda Alright, so the last news

story for today, Thor 3 scores on unexpected

director Dan, and we're talking about, and Amanda

you might find this interesting too, the director

who did what we do in the shadows. A what? And

some episodes of Flight of the Concords. Dan,

is this - Would you expect this name to be connected

to Thor 3 when it comes to Marvel? Yes, because

I feel like they just get whoever and Honestly

when it comes to Marvel and directors, it's the

name now But you don't know what it's gonna be

the name in like a month or two. So yeah I feel

like you know, they're they're got to the point

where they they like, you know We've mentioned

they just have a machine that they have going

they get a guy to kind of just bring a little

guy or girl to bring it all together and you

know they that director really doesn't have a

lot to do uh not you know not to disparage them

but it's you know they're kind of just really

there to just follow through with what marvel

wants the movie to be right um man i mean i could

it's just weird to see what Because you do still

get some hints of a certain director style a

lot of times in some of these at least, even

if they don't have a lot of like creative control.

Yeah, that's true. I mean, you see that with

like Iron Man 3 with Shane Black or, you know,

Captain America First Avenger with Johnston's.

So I think you're correct. But I'm just looking

for how some of the style of this director has

been known for would somehow creep into it. And

the only thing I can think of is I have a feeling

they could do some pretty cool stuff with Loki.

But I don't I don't know. I'm intrigued just

to see what if any Aspects of their you know

kind of personal style would be able to creep

into this film But Amanda, what do you think

you've loved what we do in the shadows? So the

director from that doing the superhero film is

he gonna have much is he gonna be able to infuse

more any of his style or is he gonna be kind

of controlled by the the powers that be I? Couldn't

tell you seeing one movie this guy's done. I

haven't seen any flight of the concords So I

don't know how that's going to translate into

such a big blockbuster. We'll have to wait and

see. There's a couple other links to some other

stories that we didn't get to on the website

so be sure to check those out and let us know

what you think about those. We're going to bypass

most of the trailer talk because we're going

to have probably a pretty extended main attraction

here that we want to save some time for that

we haven't really told you too much about yet.

But before we get that, Dan, there were some

trailers that were released. We had a couple

big ones. Did you want to talk about those? Yeah,

I can talk about one in particular which is Harold

Caesar. which is the Cone Brothers newest movie

coming out next year. And it looks really intriguing.

It's a period piece taking place during the Hollywood

boom. I don't want to get the years wrong, but

I want to say the 50s or 60s era. It's going...

It's a huge cast. I mean, a lot of the classic

Coen Brothers people from like George Clooney,

you know, Francis McDermott, Scarlett Johansson.

It's a combination of comedy, musical, you know,

it's very Coen Brothers. Like, if I showed you

the trailer, you'd be like, that's probably a

Coen Brothers movie, but it's very epic. It looks

a little bit more, you know, with Inside Luke

Davis, which is a little bit more dramatic, you

know. This one's a little bit more upbeat, per

se. I'm trying to think of... what it would be

linked to and it almost feels more like in the

vein of like uh burnath reading kind of like

that type of comedy um but a little bit more

epic like it Because there looks to be musical

numbers. It's like the old style of the, you

know, 1950s. I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm a huge Coen Brothers fan. They can kind of

do no wrong for the most part. So it's looking

good. And I don't know when it's coming out next

year, but it says next year. So if it's already

seeing a trailer, I wonder if it will get like,

you know, similar to last year when we got to

Grand Budapest Hotel early on, hopefully. It's

set to release in February, which is scary. because

in a way but maybe it's you know with the Coen

brothers I feel like maybe there's they don't

really care when their movies are released maybe

I don't know but I'm really looking forward to

that so that is a star -studded cast I do wonder

if it's too big for its own good that's a possibility

but I want to know if this one item is true in

the cast which says that Dolph Lundgren as a

Soviet submarine commander I don't remember seeing

that in the trailer but Yeah, so the other one

I saw was a Bowden, Tomahawk is the name of the

movie or something. Okay. And I'm just it's crazy

that this year we're getting more westerns than

superhero films because we have this, you know,

we have Hateful Eight, we have It's Little West

and a few other westerns coming out. But this

looks like really old school, like violent western.

Like it looks very and each of these westerns

are very different from one another. This one,

you know, Kurt Russell being a badass, it looks

really intriguing like old like very um like

old school or almost i don't know it's hard to

really place it it's not i'm not like any of

the other ones so uh more bare bones type of

like gritty type of western that i think could

be quite good so it's not what i expected because

i i remember hearing stuff about it early in

the year i think it would be more like violent

over the top it does seem like it's going to

be violent but it's not going to be as graphic

or at least i mean it's hard to say because it's

only trailer but it doesn't seem like it's it's

much more serious than i thought it was going

to be This one's had my interest from the first

time I kind of read a little bit about it or

saw Little bits about it, but it was one of those

like you said It's kind of hard to place and

it's hard to say exactly how it's gonna be But

this one's this one's had my interest from the

beginning. So I'll be I'll be interested to see

what what it kind of turns out to be there's

also trailers up there for man up the forest

triple nine experimenter shelter big stone gap

race and lost in the sun so check all those out

let us know which ones you're excited for which

ones you're not but they're all up on the episode

post on the website so definitely take a look

at that we're going to take a quick break but

you don't want to You don't want to leave us

right now. You don't want to abandon us because

we're about to get to a main attraction that

I think is going to be a lot of fun and hopefully

it's going to be as fun to listen to as it is

to actually try to accomplish. Although I think

there's going to be some frustrations and some

agonizing at least from one party involved. I

might not survive this. So stick with us because

after the break we're going to play a new game

called Best Decade Ever. Hi, this is Greg. This

is Chuck. And this is Dan. And we are Talking

in Circles. Because the world needs another podcast,

we are here as Geekcast Radio's newest edition.

And as the title says, each week we get lost

in conversation about a wide range of topics,

including movies, comics, games, art, TV, and

even occasionally sports. We play games and discuss

pivotal topics like who would win a fight, the

Kool -Aid Man or Tony the Tiger, and examine

the hot button issues of the world of Geekdom.

We keep things fresh by taking timeless topics

in new directions. We are simply three friends

having a fun time talking about life's most fascinating

foibles. Stay connected with us every Tuesday

on iTunes or at GeekCastRadio .com Hey guys,

it's Dr. Masolo and Hard Candy Mandy, and we

just wanted to let you guys know about another

podcast out there that we both think you would

all enjoy. It's one of both of our favorite shows

to listen to, and it's none other than the True

Bromance podcast. True Bromance is a movie podcast

hosted by longtime friends Hiro and Barry, and

if you like to smile, laugh, and just be genuinely

entertained while listening to movie talk, then

this is definitely the right show for you. Each

week, the guys break down a recently released

movie, and not only do they tie in the movie

that week to the beers that they are drinking

during the show, but they also tie it into a

real fun top and bottom five list associated

with that movie. It's a blast hearing both sides

of these lists, and it definitely makes them

unique amongst all other movie review podcasts.

So we definitely want to recommend all of you

guys to go check out their show. Just search

out the True Bromance podcast on iTunes, Stitcher,

and all other podcast platforms. And if you listen

via iTunes, do us a favor and leave them a five

-star review. And don't forget to let them know

that the Cinema Geeks sent you. Now back to the

show. Do you see how your patience paid off?

Alright, thanks for sticking with us. As I said,

this is the main attraction, and I'm glad you

stuck with us through that break because I think

this is going to be some fun. We're playing a

new game called The Best Decade Ever, and this

is how it's going to work. Basically, we're going

to be conducting a draft -like style game here,

in which Dan, Amanda, and myself will alternate

in terms of picking. What we'll be doing is we'll

be picking films. We're going to be trying to

create The Best Decade Ever. For this episode,

we're going to be dealing with the 1990s. So

we're going to go straight through from 1990

all the way to 1999, all 10 years. And each year,

we're each going to be able to pick one film.

So for 1990, we all get a one pick, and then

the same for 91, 92, etc. A couple different

little caveats here, though, that are going to

make it interesting. Number one, once a film

has been picked, the other two people cannot

pick that film for that year. So it's off the

board. Number two, we have criteria that our

roster has to fill. So you have to have a film

from 10 different genres, and we've outlined

those as the following. You're going to have

to have a comedy. You're going to have to have

an action adventure. You're going to have to

have a science fiction fantasy, science fiction

or fantasy. You're going to have to have a drama

film, a horror film, an animated film, a family

-friendly film, a romantic comedy. an epic or

historical film and then a police crime gangster

type film. So you're gonna have to have one for

every genre. So it's gonna make things tricky

as we go through and you know we're gonna get

down to 1999 we're all gonna have one genre to

pick and hopefully we still have some films that

we want for our team. And then once we're done

drafting our best decade ever we will be putting

these up for vote. on the website, just like

we've been doing with a lot of the other games,

and you're going to be able to pick which person

created the best decade. Any questions from the

panel? Amanda, are you ready to go, or any last

minute things you need clarified? I am not too

prepared for this. I don't feel like I am all

the way ready, because this is probably the hardest

challenge you have ever thrown me into. I love

the 90s. Would you say the 90s is your favorite

decade of film? Yes. And that is going to show,

you're going to hear all the paper shuffling

because I have way too many movies, especially

later on in the decade. So this is going to be

really hard for me to pick and how dare you make

me pick from these movies. All right, Dan, any

questions or thoughts before we start? No, I'm

good. I'm good. I'm a little scared. I'm a little

worried. I'm hoping this is not as nerve -racking

as the actual fantasy film draft was. So, but

then I was trying to shuffle like 12 different

people's teams at the same time. So this one

I only have to worry about my own and what ones

you guys are knocking off the list. So we will

start in chronological order. So we're gonna

be starting with 1990. We're gonna have a random

draw here to see who goes first and then each

subsequent round that will rotate as far as who

gets the first pick. All right, so. The person

that will be picking first for 1990 is movie

revolt, Dan. Dan, you get the first pick of the

whole thing. So I'll give you a second to think

about it as I pick who's going to be picking

second. Who's picking second is myself, which

means, Amanda, you will have the third pick in

the first round. Alright, so I will try to keep

track of that as Dan decides what he's going

to be doing So yeah, I mean it's kind of hard

though when he the one thing to consider it and

that we should Is the fact that we're also doing

genres so when you look through these years certain

genres are better represented than others and

someone's like You know, there's a movie that

I'm like 1990 movie i think is unquestionably

the best film but then it's like well that genre

is pretty stacked for the decade and there's

other genres that you know so do you have to

love to consider because maybe there's a genre

that stings after 1993 so you have to get it

now so there's a lot of challenges here so i

i debated about not going with this one with

being first pick but i feel like i feel like

you know it's i would be lying to myself i'll

figure things out otherwise and i'm gonna go

with good philips Yeah, I have to I know I know

it's a an obvious choice but You know one of

my all -time favorites, so I'm gonna go with

that which will take it out of my crime genre

So I have that one taken care of But there's

a lot of great crime films still left So it's

a I debated about waiting on it But I would I

would be like not choosing like Adrian Peterson

number one when it was like in his prime so I'll

stick with good fellas Man, man, man, all right.

So, yeah, and we all apologize right up front

if you hear any papers, pens, or anything like

that as we try to shuffle around things. I have

eight freaking pages. Man, all right. Goodfellas

is off the board. That was definitely my number

one pick for 1990 as well. I will have to figure

this out real quick, and I think I'm going to

do something that I feel like... And I think

Dan you shared the same sentiment and kind of

I was talking off -air that it's gonna be easier

at least for you and I to find some more of the

family -friendly films at the beginning of the

decade and a little harder as we get going and

that might have something to do with our age

and that we were more in tune with some of those

films in the early 90s and we were later in the

90s so I think I'm probably gonna be going that

route and I had one picked out but I'm going

to go with my second choice instead for 1990.

I'm going to go with a family -friendly film

and a personal favorite. Maybe not the best reviewed

or critically acclaimed film and I guess I'll

lose some cinephile points here. But I'm going

to go with the original live -action Teenage

Mutant Ninja Turtles film. See, I consider that.

I thought you were going to go with a different

family -friendly film, but not a bad choice.

Not a bad choice. Yeah, I had another one with

that one. I actually had about three for this

year alone that were all family -friendly ones.

But I'm going to go with Teenage Mutant Turtles,

because why not? And I can't deny my love for

that film. And it's probably one of the first

films ever that I could quote nonstop. So, Amanda,

you can't pick Goodfellas. You can't pick turtles.

What are you going to go with? I think I'm going

to do my romantic comedy choice and go pretty

woman. See, that's actually the movie I was thinking

about choosing. But I'm like, no, let that down.

And I'm pretty woman, not good fellow. Man. All

right, so we picked three good films from 1990.

Dan, I'm curious, what other family friendly

one did you think I might go with for that year?

Home Alone? Yep, that was the other one I had.

at the top of my list. So there's a debate between

the two of them. So nobody picks Home Alone for

90. But I think we've got three good films off

the board. So now we go to 1991. Amanda, you

picked last in that round, which means that you

will now get to pick first for 1991. So you have

all the movies in the world from 1991 to choose

from. Where are you going? You cannot pick a

romantic comedy. OK, I'm going to get my animated

selection in. I'm gonna do Beauty and the Beast.

Alright, first animated film off of the board

with Beauty and the Beast. Definitely a pretty

good selection if you're trying to come up with

some best animated films from the decade so you

can't go wrong with Beauty and the Beast. That

means Dan, you have the next pick for 19. Alright,

for my next one, see this is a runner I didn't

have a lot of choices for and I was actually

hoping I would get this one in. I don't know

if it's a stretch but I'm actually gonna go Horror.

for this genre? Damn it. I told Amanda beforehand,

I'm like, if one of you steals my only horror

film that I have written on my paper, I'm going

to be struggling the rest of the way. I apologize

because I'm right there with you and I'm going

to go with Silence of the Lambs. I hate you.

I can think. There's another horror film that

came out this year that was in 91 that I could

recommend that you get. Oh, man, I have a couple

other maybes, but I was like, I'm such an ignorant

person when it comes to the horror genre that

I knew I was going to have to stretch somewhere

to get one, and I think this definitely qualifies,

so that's a great pick for your horror film.

And I hate you. Me? No, Dan. I don't really,

though. There's no hate here. All right, so Beauty

and the Beast's off, and Silence of the Lambs

off. Luckily... I had four movies starred for

this year so that's only two of them that are

off the board so I got to pick now. I'm either

going comedy or my science fiction here. I think

it's going to be easier to pick a comedy later

on so I will go ahead and knock off my science

fiction slash fantasy and that will be with Terminator

2 Judgment Day. I don't think you can go too

much wrong with that as a science fiction film.

Silence from the panel. Sorry, that was actually...

I think looking ahead trying to find the next

choice, yeah. That was actually what I was going

between. I was thinking either Silence of the

Lambs or Terminator 2, but I think I actually

was debating about putting it in action, actually,

so... Okay, gotcha. That's probably what I should

have done. I'll regret that later, because I

definitely have a lot more science fiction choices

than I do action. Alright, so those are the three

films for 91, Off the Board, Beauty and the Beast,

Silence of the Lambs, and Terminator 2, Judgment

Day. I do gotta say I'm slightly bummed that

one of my favorite comedies is not gonna be on

my list, which would be What About Bob. Yeah,

I really wanted to put that on there too. I just

have faith that I'll be able to find a comedy

later on that I like just about as much. Alright,

going on to 1992. That'll be my pick first, and

then Amanda and Dan's first time going last.

I had hardly anything written down on my list

for 1992. I think it's together with maybe one

other year. I felt like it was just a weaker

year in the decade. But I will go ahead and knock

off my animated film for my list. And it's no

surprise that it's going to be Aladdin. So I

will take Aladdin for my animated film. Amanda,

that means you are up next. I'm going to go with

my drama selection. And it's going to be the

bodyguard. The bodyguard. Did not have that one

on my radar. Oh, yeah. I kind of thinking about

going with animation, but actually one I'm waiting

on because I think there's actually 90 is just

pretty good year for animation. Well, and now

you have the benefit that we have both already

picked our animated film, so you have no fears

of losing out yours whenever that might be. So

all right, Dan, where are you going to go then?

I mean this one I was debating I'm not sure but

This is one where like the the choice I want

is not till later But I don't know if it would

be available because it's only one so but I think

I'm gonna go actually the epic historical and

going the route of the Western and It's one best

picture that year and it's I'm gonna go with

unforgiven as my my choice unforgiven definitely

a critically acclaimed big hit loud a lot of

people's top decade list for the 90s so you can't

go wrong there and it also gets a could be considered

a harder genre maybe for some off of off the

board I think some people like that genre more

than others obviously all right so that means

we are to 1993 and that means Dan you are once

again in the driver's seat for the first pick

Oh, man, I already know where this is going.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with my family -friendly film.

Actually, well, there's so many things to choose

for, but I feel like this is my... There are

two film series that are tugging at my heartstrings.

Two of my favorite films of all time. But one's

science fiction, action, one's family -friendly.

And after this, I don't have many family -friendly

films that I can choose from. And I'm gonna go

with The Sandlot as my choice. I am so glad I

went family -friendly in the first round, because

this was my last choice for family -friendly

would have been Sandlot. So thank God I already

have one, because otherwise I don't know what

I would do from that point on. So Sandlot is

a great pick, Dan. And now I'm really wishing

that I would have picked Terminator as my action

film. All right, I'm next for 1993. I can't get

that film. I've already used that genre. I'm

retarded. You want a Jurassic Park movie? I'm

not saying anything. Oh man. The two films that

I had starred for this year are Jurassic Park

and Sandlot. I'm sorry. No, that was my fault.

I can go a different one. No, you're fine. You're

fine. Alright, I have two backups. One that I

super love and I just don't know if it fits anywhere.

Feel like this would get vetoed by the panel,

but let me let me throw it out there and see

what you guys say Can I fit as far as epic slash?

Historic that was part of it, and I think it

has a bit of both does tombstone work in that

category Yeah, I had that is because I have a

western as well Okay, so I am going with tombstone

then or my epic slash historic film And that

is one of my favorite movies of all time, so

I'm not upset. I'm not upset. All right Amanda

So that means... I can have. Wait, wait, wait.

So, which genre? Is Jurassic Park considered

the sci -fi then? I added both under science

fiction and action. I feel like you could put

it for either. Yeah, I think you can put it either

in action or in science fiction fantasy, or even

as a, possibly, I guess, as an epic type film,

but not really historical, so. I'm gonna go science

fiction fantasy Jurassic Park. She's just shocked

that she was going last and she somehow got Jurassic

Park in this year. I know, I thought about it,

but yeah. And I really wanted to do Demolition

Man because I love that movie. I have so much

fun with that movie, but I just, I think that

I'll get a better response in the polls from

Jurassic Park than Demolition Man. Yeah, I also

had to forego one of my top dramas, I guess,

or I guess it could have also been considered

historic with Schindler's List, and then another

Bill Murray comedy goes by the wayside with Groundhog.

No, that, I'm kicking myself for not getting

that, so. Alright, so Amanda, that means you're

back in the first place chair for 1994. What

genres do I have left? I mean, we've only picked

a few years so far. You can't pick a romantic

comedy, you can't pick a drama, you can't pick

an animation, and you can't pick science fiction

or fantasy. I'm going to go with family friendly.

The Flintstones. The Flintstones. Live -action

Flintstones. That's something I didn't expect

to hear. I love that movie! Kelly Berry's breakout

performance. I'm gonna give you credit only because

most of the good family -friendly films were

already passed in previous years. Yeah, it was

that or Little Rascals or Angels in the Outfield.

Fair enough. Alright, Dan. From that year. That

means you get your choice of anything left in

1994. Man, I'm debating between drama right now

and action. I think I'm gonna go with... It's

kind of like a... An obvious choice, but I feel

like it's, you know... According to IMDb, it's

the greatest movie of all time. So how could

I not choose it? So I'm going to go with the

Shaw - I'm going to take my drama off the board

and I'm going to go with the Shawshank Redemption

as my choice for 1994. All right. Can't argue

with that. Like you said, it's IMDb's best film

ever, as well as a lot of people's best film

ever. So, man. OK. That's tough. It's going to

be weird that As far as animation in 90s that

we've all three decided to leave Lion King off

of the board and it's not drafted by anybody

There's a couple other big -name films in 94

there's Forrest Gump there's pulp fiction And

then I'm considering the one I'm about to say

and that doesn't seem right to list these other

names and then It's so difficult trying to fit

into these genres that you have. I think that's

the hardest part because we could all pick really

quality movies, but trying to pick one that fits

in the categories we so need is the hard part.

Right. I really should pick Pulp Fiction, but

there's another couple years that have so many

good crime films and officer films, which I think

that would fit into at least. I'm not gonna pick

that, though. I'm going to make a ridiculous

pick and kind of use this as a wasted year and

get my action adventure film off of the board.

And the way I'm gonna do that, I guess, is to

try to pick a film that I also think somewhat

represents the 90s as a decade. And I'm gonna

go with Speed. That's actually what I was considering,

too, because I actually think Speed's quite a

good action film, so... Yeah, I think as far

as the genre goes, and as far as the decade goes,

I think it's really representative of both. And

so, and I also have very little choices for Action

Adventure along the way that I'm super proud

of. So yeah, I'm going to go with speed and take

that off of off of the board, which means that

it'll turn around then and be my pick again for

1995. And, you know, I said there's a couple

other years out there that have a lot of choices

for crime, police, mobster, gangster type films

and this is chock full of them. 1995 has a bunch

and I, the toughest part here is choosing because

a lot of people like Usual Suspect, Seven, Heat,

Casino, I mean these are all loved by a lot of

people that like this genre and I think they

all fit into that and I am gonna actually go...

Only because you already took Goodfellas and

I just have a soft spot for it, even though I

definitely love Seven and Usual Suspects and

Heat, I'm gonna go with... Oh, maybe I shouldn't

do that, but I have to. I'll go with Casino as

my police slash mobster film, um, crime film.

So, Casino is off the board, and that means,

Amanda, you can pick anything else from 1995.

I really, really wanted to pick Seven as my crime...

Which you can do if you'd like. But I'm worried

I'm not gonna get my period piece in. My historic?

Yeah. So I'm gonna go with Braveheart. I thought

that might happen. I actually was talking about

all those crime films and then I looked at my

paper and saw Braveheart there and I'm like,

wait a second, I have to pick Braveheart. But

then I remembered I already had picked that genre.

So that works out for you. Dan, can't pick Casino,

can't pick Braveheart, but you can pick anything

else from 1995. Hmm man, I'm not sure here where

to go. I thought I Guess so. I need action and

I think this you know what? I don't know if it's

the best action film of 90s but it's part of

one of the greatest franchises of all time and

part of one maybe one of my favorite video games

of all time during this time period I'm gonna

go with Goldeneye and get my action out the board

for my 1995 choice All right, great choice for

action. I think that's also very representative

of the genre and the decade. All right, man.

I think 95 has been the hardest year so far for

me to pick, because that's when my list starts

just going nuts, and I have so many choices.

Well, Dan, you get the wraparound pick then for

1996. So anything you want. I'm going to go with

a comedy here, I think, because I think after

this comedy gets a little harder for me. And

I'm going to go with Happy Gilmore for my comedy.

Harder to pick as we go forward so happy you'll

want great comedy pick also like you said very

representative of the decade so great pick there

I have to pick a horror film now because Otherwise,

I will have to be like getting on the computer

to try to figure out other horror films that

are on the other three years So there was a couple

choices here. I believe Because I'm pretty sure

you could put probably like from dusk till dawn

as somewhat of a horror film Well, I don't know

have you seen that movie? yeah anyway um i'm

gonna go with though though just the the classic

the bring it back to this style of horror film

and that will be scream so i'm getting bad words

mouthed to me from amanda but i am picking scream

and if you want to blame someone amanda blame

dan because he took silence of the lives i'm

not gonna blame anybody because i have Yeah,

I'm sure you have like 25 horror films you can

pick. You got comedy, action -adventure, horror,

or crime? Alright, I thought that might come

up as a possible action film for the decade.

Alright, that means your turn to go first in

1997. This is the year I probably had more trouble

than any other year So what are you taking off

of the table for 1997? You have comedy horror

or crime? Don't worry, I'll just insert crickets

chirping Mad editing. Comedy, horror, or crime?

Yep. I'm going to go with comedy. Austin Powers.

Alright. Austin Powers is off of the list. Dan

I'm sure you already know but you got romantic

comedy animation and science fiction fantasy.

Where are you going in 97? I'm gonna go science

fiction and I'm kind of debating between three

films right here But I'm gonna go with one. I

think I don't know I know there it's it's just

people hate this movie this people will love

it But I think when you kind of know What was

it I'm sorry So the fifth element now well actually

that's one of them, but the one I'm gonna go

with actually for science fiction is starship

troopers You know that is a film that I've not

heard You know, in listening to podcasts over

the last couple years and hearing different people

talk about different stuff, I don't think I've

heard a single person say a bad thing about that

film. Dude, MPH is a total badass. I'm just saying,

like, it didn't get a lot of love, I feel like,

back in the day. Not that I was paying real close

attention to what movies got love back in 1997,

but I feel like it didn't. But everybody has

good things to say about that. I liked it so

much, I braved it. the second Starship Troopers

will be, which was not as good as the first one.

I think a lot of people at the time didn't realize

it was supposed to be satirical and took it on

face value. But I think in retrospect, people

can kind of see like, oh, I see, it's being self

-aware and it's kind of being critical of different

things and whatnot. So I think people didn't

really get that at first. So similar to like

Rebel Cop, people thought it was like just a

crazy action film, but it was meant to be satirical.

I think it's really a great film, and special

effects even still hold up really well. Plus,

Juggie Howser as a psychic that can read the

minds of bugs. There you go. Oh man. Now it's

my turn. I have comedy, romantic comedy, and

drama. I don't know why I left some of these

until the end. That was not smart on one of them.

I had... Ten movies written down for comedy and

nine of them are off the board or the years have

already passed so And I don't have one for 97

that I can come up with so that means I'm forced

to go with either drama or romantic comedy And

there's two choices. I either go one direction

or the other Man, I've always I've already shared

my love of life is beautiful, so I'll stay away

from that So I either go drama with goodwill

hunting or romantic comedy with as good as it

gets um i am going to go with as good as it gets

as my romantic comedy because i'm not an expert

in that genre yes you are i don't feel like i

am so all right So as good as it gets is the

pick for me. That's one I still have yet to see.

It's one of my picks. Oh, really? Interesting.

It's on my list, too. So that means I go first

for 1998. We only have two years left. So now

I'm stuck with my only other comedy that's left

on the board. And even though there's a bunch

of good films that I'd like to pick from 98,

because I think it was a great year in films.

I have to go comedy here because I don't have

one listed for 1999, so I will go with The Wedding

Singer for 1998. Probably my 10th ranked comedy

on the list, but I have to have one, so I will

go with Wedding Singer for that one, which means

that, Amanda, it is your turn. So I have crime

and horror. Alright, 98 is going to be crime.

I'm going to go with American History X. Nice.

That is one of those ones that I was talking

about as far as a good year in film. Wow. I feel

like some of these though, you're like, it's

kind of just the last ditch effort to fill that

category and you panic and you're like, I'm going

to say this stupid movie and there's 20 other

options here. No, that's probably one of the

four or five that I was most considering for

that year. You got romantic comedy and animation.

Which one are you going with 98? I can go with

romantic comedy and go, there's something about

Mary. Okay. I was kind of, I was actually going

to go with the wedding singer, but unfortunately

someone took it. And I'm like, oh, comedy. I

thought you'd go something about Mary, which

I guess is, you know, debatably romantic comedy.

I haven't seen it. I actually haven't seen it.

You haven't seen the wedding singer? No, I haven't

seen there's something about Mary. Really? Really?

Yeah, I somehow just missed it and never saw

it. So, direct hate mail to Optimus Solo. See,

I thought for comedy you would deal with Rushmore,

maybe. Well, the comedies on my list which I

all missed because I had, like I talked about,

I had the What About Bob and Groundhog Day, I

had Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Maverick I

almost picked. Dumb and Dumber was a kind of

a small consideration, so Wedding Singer was

the last one available, so I had to go with that.

I wanted The Big Lebowski as my comedy, but I

panicked and picked Austin Fowler. Well, you

have only yourself to blame for that one. So

Dan, you went first the first year, you get to

go first the last year, so 1999, you have to

go animation, so what are you doing? There's

actually quite a lot of animation in 1999. You

have Princess Minoke. You have South Park, Bigger,

Longer, and Uncut. But I think the one I'm going

to go with is the Iron Giant. Iron Giant. I was

wondering where you were going because I thought

for sure when Lion King and Toy Story's years

came by that you were going to pick one of those.

And I forgot about Iron Giant. So it's a great

pick there at the end for your animation film.

Yeah, I figured animation had like 99 was a lot

of great choices. So I was keeping that one because

I would be happy with any of those. Right. I,

uh, went other directions for the other years.

Gotcha. Alright, so that means I am left with

drama for 1999. I did not expect that to be the

case. Um, there's a few good dramas though in

99, and I gotta decide, do I go with... Man.

You guys have all picked drama, so I guess it

doesn't matter if I say stuff, so I'm thinking

between American Beauty, you got... I guess Green

Mile could somewhat be considered a drama, but

I think I'm going to go with And I even double

-checked because this is listed as a drama on

multiple sites that I checked I don't necessarily

think of it first and foremost as a drama but

I'm gonna go with Fight Club as my drama and

That's weird because I'm a drama fan and that

is not one that I would list at the top of like

for strictly being drama But I think it works

and I could pick American Beauty, but I'm going

to go with Fight Club for my drama for the last

one. So that means Amanda, you have to pick your

horror film. You left it to the last year because

you had so many choices probably. Yeah. So I

need you guys to answer me this. Bruce Willis

or Kevin Bacon? I say Bruce Willis. Well, I know

what you're talking about if you're talking about

Bruce Willis, but I don't know which one you're

talking about. You wouldn't, because this is

too horrid. I can't answer that question. You're

the horrid genius. I thought you were saying

Kevin Bacon. I was going back to the only other

horror that I was going to try to pass by from

1990, and I was going to try to pass Tremors

as a horror film. I also have Tremors. Alright,

so what do you got? I'm stuck between The Sixth

Sense and A Stir of Echoes. I can't help you.

And they creeped me out. Super hardcore, both

of them did. Let's do the sixth sense because

I feel like that's got some more layers than

the story that goes. Alright, definitely iconic

film for the decade. So that rounds up the list.

We're going to go down and share what the results

are here. Obviously they will be as part of the

poll on the website and then we'll react a little

bit to this. So Dan, you have Goodfellas, Silence

of the Lambs. unforgiven. I mean, let's talk

about starting off with three complete genius

picks there. Sandlot, Shawshank Redemption, Goldeneye,

Happy Gilmore, Starship Troopers, There's Something

About Mary, and Iron Giant. How do you feel about

your list? Good. I think I'm a little weak with

my action choice. That's one. Goldeneye is not

the, you know, I think there's probably better

choices, but I feel like it was a sacrifice to,

you know, get some of the other ones. So I'm

happy though. You know, I think it's a good group.

That's definitely, you got some, the who's who's

of notable movies from the 90s, that's for sure.

A lot of great, it seems like your team is full

of like five number one picks. For my roster,

I got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the original

live action, Terminator 2, Judgment Day, Aladdin,

Tombstone, Speed, Casino, Scream, As Good As

It Gets, The Wedding Singer, and Fight Club.

I just feel like my list is total shite compared

to your guys's now. I'm just not even happy.

I don't think so at all. I think you pulled away

with some great picks, especially when you weren't

even picking first that I did not expect. There

was definitely a... I'm somewhat happy with my

list. I would have loved to get Silence of the

Lambs, but Terminator 2 Judgment Day, that's

probably one of the best science fiction films

of the decade, so I'm fine with that. I definitely

wasn't expecting to go with The Wedding Singer

for my comedy, but it is what it is. Amanda,

your list is Pretty Woman, Beauty and the Beast,

Bodyguard, Jurassic Park, Flintstones, Braveheart,

Mission Impossible, Austin Powers, American History

X, and The Sixth Sense. What do you feel about

that? I don't feel good about it, Dan. Why do

you say Dan? This list is crushing it. You got

Braveheart and Jurassic Park? which are two of

the biggest films of the entire decade. Beauty

and the Beast is easily one of the best animated

films. Pretty Woman is the iconic romantic comedy.

My comedy one though, totally. I whiskey throttled

that. Alright, so we'll have to let the people

decide who's got the best. Decade Dan, what do

you think these lists say about the the decade

overall? What was there? What was the strongest

points in the 90s? Which genres did they do best

or what's kind of just your overall thought as

the Strong as the decade was I mean it was an

awesome year for crime films or awesome decade

for crime films because yeah Like I to me that

was the one genre I felt like no matter what

year I was gonna get like a five -star film in

within crime So I wanted I kind of wanted to

wait on that one, but it's like Yeah, good fellas,

I can't pass that up. Action was, I think, a

little bit more mixed for me. That was a harder

genre to come out of. I thought about The Matrix,

but again, I'd rather go animated, so it went

back and forth, but I feel like that was one

genre that was a little bit weaker. In science

fiction as a whole, I think there are some...

spots here and there that were better but without

it's definitely i think the the decades that

came after it definitely started honing in more

on the science fiction and more on the action

i didn't realize that i mean it did have like

conair and face off and the rock and some of

that stuff but nothing that just like jumps off

the page for you for action i don't agree with

that at all i think that it was it was such a

um Pivotal time for me and my love of action

movies I mean it was really hard for me to pick

because There were some also that bled a little

bit like I love total recall plus face -off.

That's still kind of sci -fi That's not a real

thing. You can't take I'm not a face -off judge

Dredd really I see I love all that judge Dredd

demolition man. I think there was a ton of really

Yeah, I think there's a lot of bleeding. As far

as what you think of like straight action or

straight action adventure, I think it becomes

a little bit harder. I think it starts off so

well with Terminator and ends really well with

Matrix. I think that there's other ones in between

that are good, but I think nothing hits that

level. I mean, well, then you have speed. So,

I don't know. I just want to say Van Damme was

cool in this time. So, there's a ton of stuff.

I mean, you do have Sudden Death. I mean, to

be fair, Sudden Death hit a hard target. With

the mullet, and yeah. Double team with him and

Wesley Snipes, or uh, not Wesley Snipes. Dennis

Rodman. Dennis Rodman. Are you, I feel like you're

arguing against... it was a lighter time for

film and then also kind of, you know, it went

as dark as it could for that time. Yeah, I do

agree, like the action itself was a little bit

more, like you said, lighter and a little bit

more, not as super serious as we like, you know,

like the porn films, they get a little bit more,

you know, realistic and gritty where this it's

like, you know, taking your face off and putting

it on another person and stuff like that. So

I do agree that. you know, the action had a more,

you know, coiness and loving it, like, you know,

movies that were self -aware and willing to be

a little bit more fun than some of the action

films that came after in the next decade. And

I think horror really did an awesome job, too.

I had so many horror movies. It was really, really

hard to pick. I wanted to pick Bram Stoker's

Dracula. Even, like, interview the vampire. I'm

like, where do I put this? Do I put this in horror?

Do I put this on drama? What do I do with this?

There's just so much. I had Silence of the Lambs

scream and then tremors with a question mark

on my list for horror. Obviously one of the first

things that people are going to do is they're

going to berate us for which films don't make

any of our list. So just to kind of cap those

that we do recognize that they're good films.

Looking at a couple from the decade that we did

not pick, of course. Maybe some of the family

friendly ones like Home Alone, Homeward Bound,

Mrs. Doubtfire. There's a bunch of others I'm

sure that you guys had too. What other ones were

you considering for family friendly? Any big

notable ones? Homeward Bound. Dan, anyone more

on your list for that genre? I thought about

Babe in there. I mean, we talked about some of

the animated ones. It was really hard to pass

up Lion King. I'm not going to lie. But, you

know, the mid -year years, there was like Bugs

Life and Kiki's Delivery Service, but nothing

quite. So I felt like, you know, the other family

friendly films I debated about on were like Mighty

Ducks, Mighty Ducks 2, but... Little Giants.

There's a lot of those great sports family films,

like Little Big League and all that stuff. But

I felt Sandlot was kind of heading shoulders

above those. For sure. That was definitely high

on my list. If I hadn't had Gone Turtles that

first run, I would have been looking at Sandlot

a lot. No pun intended. We already talked about

action -adventure a lot. We mentioned a bunch

of the comedies that we left off. As far as romantic

comedies, I'm interested what other films you

guys were possibly considering for the 90s. I

didn't have a lot on my list for this one. I

had Shakespeare in Love. I had Ten Things I Hate

About You. You've Got Mail. I don't know. I was

coming up a little short. I haven't seen some

of the classics. So, Dan, what else were you

considering for romantic comedy? I thought about

Jerry Maguire. Yeah Clueless as well. I mean

I felt like I was stretching the romantic comedy

thing What about you Amanda anything else that

you had high on your list for romantic comedy

I also had Jerry Maguire and Clueless I'm trying

to look here something about Mary I had Chase

and Amy as well and Sleepless in Seattle Yeah,

I was going to say, sleep is in Seattle, and

there's a couple other, like, while you were

sleeping. I mean, like, what? Practical magic,

just stretching it. I was honestly really hoping

in The Wedding Singer that was like my go -to.

I'm like, oh, no one will get that one. They'll

be chosen by... Dan, I wasn't expecting to pick

that. Trust me. I thought for sure I'd end up

with What About Bob or Happy Gilmore or something

like that. And it's obviously dramas. That's

one of the most common genres that films go to.

So there's going to be a ton of that. But don't

hate us for not picking stuff like Schindler's

List, Philadelphia, Good Will Hunting, American

Beauty. I had a few good men even kind of as

a drama. I think we got some some big ones but

obviously there's a billion dramas that we any

any that you just that were towards the top of

your list that you just left off dan or you didn't

get to because of the years uh i thought about

barton fink because i you know almost every year

there was a cohen brothers film i'm like can

i just know cohen brothers almost uh that'd be

funny you could have almost for some directors

i don't mind any other dramas that you were um

i was thinking about like simon birch american

beauty um Okay, he caught me after I put my papers

down. I also thought about A Few Good Men, you

know, that, you know. Yeah. It's a classic. That's

one of my favorite movies, so. That's kind of

a classic 90s film, for sure. Yeah, I knocked

off A Few Good Men, Malcolm X, and Roseboar Dogs,

because I went with Aladdin that year, so those

were my other choices. We were, go ahead. Also,

like, Michael, What Dreams May Come, but they're

also kind of like sci -fi, so I kind of just

kind of steered away from them. my girl yeah

I had my girl on my list too we already talked

a lot about crime police obviously 95 was a good

year so we didn't nobody ended up with heat seven

or usual suspects as well as pulp fiction doesn't

make a list I'm sure we'll get some flack for

that they have to understand fill these categories

based on these years what year has what right

makes it difficult Independence Day? I really

wanted it to be that. Saving Private Ryan? Yeah,

I thought about waiting on Warren Epic for that.

Also for crime, L .A. Confidentials, really high

that are up for me. Again, it's like, considering

you can choose the genre once and, you know,

it's... It's it's hard to it's hard to wait on

it because you don't know if that'll be available

So it's kind of like you kind of panic a little

bit, you know It's like it's like when you accidentally

draft like defense in the third round That was

not a smart move. Why do I have a kicker already?

And then the last one's I was gonna mention was

science fiction men in black Armageddon Matrix,

we've already talked about a few times. I thought

about that contact That's like when I picked

my yeah, I know that was when I considered but

I don't with Starship troopers Alright, so I

don't know if that was fun for anybody to listen

to, but it was fun to try to come up with on

our own, so you'll have to let us know if this

is a game that should be retired immediately.

If not, we obviously have a few other decades

that we could easily tackle. Just to real quick

get into... what we've been doing recently before

we close out the show. Dan, I know you haven't

been watching a whole bunch of movies lately

because you've been focusing your efforts in

a different direction. Why don't you tell us

a little bit about that and why you're doing

that? Yeah, I mean, if you listen to Ultra Geek

and if you check out GeekCast Radio, you might

notice that one thing we're looking to do is

we're starting at top 100 again and we're looking

at top 100 TV shows. And with that, you know,

there's a lot of great TV shows I have yet to

catch up with. So. I've been trying to catch

up with a bunch and it's so much harder to catch

up with TV than it is with movies because Yeah,

it's a little bit more of a commitment. But uh

So I catch up with the one of the the biggest

one does have a movie relation though because

we talked about there possibly being a Deadwood

movie a few weeks ago and we mentioned that no

one really watched Deadwood But I wanted to correct

that so I did I watched the first episode Hopefully

we'll be catching up with more and I gotta say

I'm really looking forward to watching more of

the show. It's Just in the first episode, I was

just super impressed with just, you know, from

beginning to end, just it felt like a classic

Western. It looked amazing. The details and everything

were fantastic. And the cast, the cast is phenomenal.

I love seeing John Hawkes, a huge fan of him,

Tim Lee Alphand as a fan of the... show justified.

You kind of see him in this and there's a lot

of similarities there. So I can completely understand

the desire to make a movie, you know, continue

this movie -wise because it in many ways felt

like a movie. It could have been a movie and

so it was quite good. I would highly recommend

it. Even if you don't have HBO, if you have Amazon

Prime, it's actually available on there. So it's...

Forget how many seasons there are but I am if

it continues going away the first episode did

it's not like the first episode is off -the -wall

action or it's like You know blow you away or

anything like that. It's more so like hey, this

is you know, there's some good potential here

There's a lot. There's a lot of great pieces.

So I'm uh, I was very impressed. So I catch that

I've actually seen the first episode way back

when I think when it originally aired I don't

know where I was that I allowed me to watch it

But I obviously didn't get the channel it was

on didn't get HBO and I didn't have any type

of streaming service to do that and it was kind

of in the a day and an age where that wasn't

just so easily available for people to find in

other ways. So I remember really liking the first

episode and then never being able to watch anything

else. I considered buying it on DVD just to catch

up, but if it's on Amazon Prime, I might have

to join you and catch up with that because I

remember being very intrigued by the first episode

as well. Yeah, I caught up with that. I got to

the first episode of Six Feet Under. I watched

some... always sunny in Philadelphia and I the

big the biggest show I've been catching up with

those parks and rec and I I'm loving that I'm

a fan of the office and it's very much it's done

by a lot of the same people right so I am enjoying

that a great deal well if everybody else is interested

or intrigued by more of this TV discussion you

guys are doing something pretty cool Dan as far

as on Facebook and I believe on Twitter as well

but every day or every so often you guys are

putting TV shows against each other and letting

people sound off on what they think is better,

etc. So I think that's something if you guys

want to continue the conversation definitely

check out the GeekCast Radio Facebook feed there

so you can chime in on all the different matchups

that we're kind of doing to help us think about

and start the discourse for this Top 100 project

because it's a lot of fun so far. two that you've

put against each other in each day so far. Yeah,

we've had Simpsons vs South Park, we had Big

Bing Theory vs Community, we've had Arrow vs

Daredevil, so we're trying to combine some that

have some similarities, for sure. Right. It's

been a lot of fun. We wanted to just touch on

a couple 2015 films real quick, just to give

our opinions on them, but before we do that,

Amanda thought she needed to catch up with the

Bond films of Daniel Craig by watching Casino

Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall only to

find out every single time we put one of the

films in she was repeatedly throughout the whole

thing telling me that she'd already seen it.

So she's apparently already seen all of them.

I like to see movies pretty intoxicated and so

I don't always remember I've seen them until

I'm watching them and then it all comes back

to me and I'm like I remember everything. So

my only question about those... I had not seen

Casino Royale but Quantum of Solace and Skyfall

apparently I've seen. Okay, so my only question

then, as we've watched all three of those, are

you more or less excited for Spectre? I'm more

excited because I feel like the Daniel Craig

bond is the most realistic bond. I don't think

he's overly flashy. He's strict and classy, but

also he is, you know, super gritty and he can

really get down to business. It also shows...

him as a real person because he gets hurt he

gets shot um he struggles and um like one scene

i think in um i can't remember if it's quantum

of solace or skyfall when he goes to um i think

it was skyfall when he goes to like take the

motorcycle onto the train but he like clips the

guard rail instead and just like flips over and

falls onto the train like there's there's all

kinds of instances like that where I feel like

he's the most real and gritty bond and I'm really

excited to see what specter has in store because

you know Christoph Waltz is amazing and I think

he's gonna be an awesome bond villain You know,

I really didn't buy the relationship with Bond

and Vesper like Ava Green and Ava Green really

didn't wow me in this as much as I think probably

at least DJ was completely wowed by her in this

maybe Maybe it's because I've seen her in so

much Over -the -top stuff that her in this more

low -key normal person role Didn't do anything

for me Fair enough. All right, we're running

out of time. So I want to do this somewhat quickly,

but give me a brief 15 to 30 seconds and a score

without spoiling anything for Pan. Pan, super

disappointing. I'm going to give it a 5 out of

10. I think it was pretty visually striking.

I like the way that they made it kind of kid

-friendly, except for that really bad dub moment.

But I think that there was way too many kinks

and problems in the story for me to really, really

enjoy it. Love the origin story, though. This

movie is not directed towards me. First, I'm

not the demographic. Second, I'm not a Peter

Pan fan. So I don't really love that story to

begin with like everybody else. So it was going

to take a lot for this movie to work for me.

I wouldn't say everybody else. You don't know

that. Well, anyways, it was going to take a lot

for this to work for me and it absolutely didn't.

The only thing that I was interested in seeing

in this film doesn't happen. And Garrett Hedlund

playing a Texas version Indiana Jones Captain

Hook, I just don't understand at all. There was

so much of a disconnect from that performance

that this film didn't work for me. I enjoyed

the first 15 or 20 minutes like a lot of other

people did, so I guess I'll give it a four out

of 10, but this movie was bad. Okay, quick 15,

20 seconds on... Sicario okay well my score for

Sicario I'm gonna give that an 8 out of 10 I

thought that a lot of performances in Sicario

especially like Benicio del Toro really riveting

I think he is a beast I want Benicio del Toro

to adopt me and be one of my new daddies because

I think he's so awesome I think that Emily Blunt

was a useful tool in this movie I think she represented

a belief from one way from Americans and how

we're expected to act and how she kind of viewed

everything. It really isn't how the world works

anymore. And I think that was a... When you said

eight out of ten? Eight out of ten. I think that

it took me back and I think it was pretty real.

I will agree with you. I'll give that an 8 out

of 10. And if Benicio del Toro is not nominated

for some type of award somewhere for this role,

then something's wrong with the world. Last film

for today, 10 seconds in the score for The Martian.

The Martian, I'm going to give a 9 out of 10.

I think this is one of the most satisfying films

that I've seen. this year. I really like the

pace. I love the characters. I love the relationship

between all the characters. Matt Damon was great.

I think he was unexpectedly more funny than I

thought he was going to be. And I really liked

the outcome too. Alright, you're stealing my

thunder. I'm going to give that one a 9 out of

10 as well. I love science fiction. I love Matt

Damon. It all worked together, so 9 out of 10

for me. If you have a chance to go see Sicario

or The Martian, I highly suggest... I know you

saw one other film that you want to quickly get

in, so tell everybody what you thought of another

horror film. I saw Insidious 3. I've seen all

the other ones. They all scared me. This one

I'm going to give an 8 out of 10. scared me to

death. I actually had to stop this movie and

come back at a different time to finish it. It

scared me that bad. There's a one -bedroom scene

that I'm pretty sure is going to stick with me

for a long time. I still need Kevin and or the

lights to sleep right now, so definitely see

that if you're in the horror mood. And I will

pass. All right. Dan, anything you want to die

later mention before we move on to what's coming

up in the next week? Again, hello, okay Alright

then, coming up for Blu -ray releases. If anybody

has been waiting for their chance to watch some

of the other 2015 films that were either earlier

releases or small independent releases, this

is a good week for you because there is a crap

ton of stuff coming out on Tuesday available

via Blu -ray or DVD. So just to go over some

of the stuff from 2015 that you can watch. Jurassic

World Combo Pack is coming out. Tomorrowland

is coming out. You have Z for Zachariah coming

out on disc. of the San Andreas Combo Pack, Testament

of Youth, Paper Towns, so there is a lot of stuff

that is becoming available for you, as well as

if you're wanting to celebrate the 30th anniversary

of Back to the Future, there's actually a Complete

Adventure Back to the Future set that has two

hours of bonus materials, all three films, and

the animated series included in that. combo pack.

I didn't even know there was an anime. So if

you're a Back to the Future fan it is Christmas

for you on Tuesday. And then the only other thing

that I want to mention real quick because I cannot

believe that there's something that's actually

titled this. If you want on Tuesday you can actually

go out and get a film called I Spit on Your Grave

3 Vengeance is Mine. I'm sorry, but I can't say

that title without laughing. He said it four

or five times already the past two days. If you're

spitting on someone's grave, how proud are you

that vengeance is yours at that point? Obviously,

you're alive and they're dead, so vengeance is

all yours. You can have that vengeance. I mean,

it's right up there with the other one, Tills

from the Crip Bordello of Blood. The Exorcism

of Molly Hartley, Unrated Edition. So if you're

a horror film, Amanda, I guess you can pick out...

If I'm a horror film? A whole bunch of stuff.

I'm gonna wear it. You know. And there's also,

uh... Another Tales from the Crip, Demon Knight.

So you can get all kinds of stuff there. Dan,

if you have to pick one thing to buy this week,

what's it gonna be? I... Wow, uh... Maybe Z for

Zachariah? I'm not sure. Yeah, I think that's

a good one. That is definitely the one I'd be

buying. Amanda, are you buying, uh... Jurassic

world to get another look at at San Andreas Tomorrowland

are you joining us with Z for Zachariah? Or back

to the future Let's let's I want to just round

it out and do Z for Zachariah. I really enjoyed

that movie. All right as far as theater or Guess

you can call it a wide release because we've

got that interesting one this week Dan, but theater

releases We have goosebumps like we talked about

beasts or I'm sorry bridge of spies and crimson

peak and then being released apparently I think

it is this week that is going on Netflix as beasts

of no nation with Idris Elba Dan if you can only

watch one of them Which ones are gonna be although

I guess piece of donation is no different because

it's not gonna be in theater I I mean I gotta

go with Spielberg right and I'd go for just buys

Alright, Amanda, I don't even need to ask you.

It's Crimson Peak. Thank you. Alright, and I

will go Bridge of Spies with Dan. We're all in

alignment on, Dan and I are in alignment on everything

so far. As far as some limited or video -on -demand

releases that you guys might be interested in,

like we talked about Experimenter, which just

had the trailer coming out with Peter Sarsgaard,

Wynonna Ryder, Jim Gaffigan, Kellen Lutz, so

stay away from it, Dennis Heisberg. We have Truth,

which is currently getting a 76 % on Rotten Tomatoes

with Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford. You have

Meadowland with Olivia Wilde and Giovanni Ribisi

and Luke Wilson. You have Room, which is getting

rave reviews. It has 95 % on Rotten Tomatoes

with Brie Larson. You have a few documentaries,

one All Things Must Pass, a documentary directed

by Colin Hanks. You have a documentary on the

Chernobyl incident called The Russian Woodpecker,

and a documentary on, I guess, a roundabout way

of saying genocide in general, but it kind of

goes into more than that, Watchers of the Sky.

For big Halloween fans, you have something called

Tales of Halloween, which is actually 10 different

stories put together, made by 11 different directors.

And then for foreign films, you have The Assassin

coming out. Dan, if you had to highlight one

film that you're interested in out of that group,

is there any? Yeah, I've actually heard really

great things about The Room, so that's one I

really want to check out. All right, Amanda,

anything there that interests you? I think Metal

Land looks like it has a really great cast. Yeah,

it has very limited reviews. It does have 100

% on Rotten Tomatoes, but not enough to actually

count for anything yet. I'm interested in the

room just because of the buzz that it's been

getting, probably, so I guess I would say that,

although I did hear really great things about

The Assassin as well. All right, so that does

it for this week. Obviously the question is easy

this week, and it's who made the best decade

ever for the 90s film decade. And then obviously

stay on the lookout for the Tarantino wrap -up

episode where we reveal the next director that

we will be covering. As well as like Dan said,

the other stuff coming up on the GeekCast Radio

Network, pay attention to those TV battles and

be on the lookout for more Top 100 TV Shows of
