Top 5 Movies You Haven’t Seen

This is Jason David Frank and you're listening

to the Geek Cash Radio Network. You are now on

the inside of what I like to call the circle

of trust. We are all connected in a great circle

of life. You know something Bert? I think you

and I are going in circles. It feels like we're

going in circles. The Circle is now complete.

When I left you, I was but the learner. Now,

I am the master. Because it's a circle. Yeah,

we heard about the circle. Yeah, that's what

the million would say. Hi, this is Greg. This

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

in Circles, brought to you by the GeekCast Radio

Network, the podcast that would walk 5 ,000 miles

just for you. And would walk. I picked one that

didn't have many words after it so that way Greg

didn't have much to say I was gonna keep going

on the did it it does but I was gonna be like,

okay I'm gonna say I did it at and then one of

the other guys will say did it at and then we

could all do a did it but you guys didn't try

me. Yeah. Yeah. Failed you. Yeah. Next time.

All right, we'll start this again. Ready? Help

me Obi Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. Anyways,

welcome to the episode 25 of talking in circles

this week. We are making the unknown known as

we count down our top five Movies that you have

not seen so it should be a lot of fun. I'm really

curious how that's all gonna work out So but

before we get to our top five, how's the week

been going for you guys? Not too bad kind of

a boring week actually in my end nothing really.

I mean I was super busy but Boring in the sense

that nothing really funny happened. So that was

kind of disappointing. You don't do all the real

life stuff, huh? Yeah, I did. I did get to pick

some strawberries, so that was kind of cool.

Oh, delicious, though. I don't like them. I love

strawberries. That's my favorite fruit of all

time. I got to brag a little. I picked 20 pounds

of strawberries in an hour or so. Nice, nice.

A little over an hour or so. It was like nine

hours. Did you look at the migrant workers and

be like, yeah, see? They wanted to hire me. I

was like, no, sorry. Greg, how's your week been

going? It's been all right. Unfortunately, that

person on Skype has not gotten back to me. So

sorry, everybody. But I do have a little short

story. It's still in progress. Apparently my

brother's girlfriend's her dog was having some

kind of issue today where it was having trouble

breathing and It's been shitting and pooping

like constantly at the same time. So what's the

difference between shitting and pooping? Shit

shitting and peeing everywhere. I knew it was

a P word No, I wasn't getting it, but yeah, it's

been shitting and peeing and having trouble breathing

and Apparently while we were having dinner tonight,

apparently the the dog hadn't stopped breathing

apparently. Oh jeez So apparently my brother's

girlfriend I'm like filling in some of the blanks

here because I don't have all the information.

I just got a text from my dad and it said that

the dog was at the Vets and Clark Summit and

my brother's girlfriend was in Mercy Hospital.

Okay. Apparently she tried to give the dog mouth

-to -mouth because the dog stopped breathing.

Oh no. But apparently, I think she got it breathing

again because she got bit on the nose by the

dog. So apparently, she's got to get something

done with her nose and the dog's got to get something

fixed out with its breathing. Well, that's one

way to thank someone for saving your life. Right?

Oh, man, the dog's a dick. No, just joking. Well,

that sucks. Everyone there to be like, pal, run

a nice. Well, that sucks. I will try to bring

us up from, you know, puppies being sick, because

that's not... Yes, my puppy story was the fate

of our stars. You're trying to top my fault of

our stars movie. But hopefully, I hope the dog

gets better there. Best wishes. I like dogs normally.

This dog I do not give one shit about. It's kind

of a dog. OK, then. It's kind of possessed. You

know, the only way to make it better is that

when it comes back home that she gets to bite

the dog in the nose. She would never do that.

She was crying like hardcore Wow, so Well, I

do kind of have a little bit of a funny story

at least it's funny now for me Last weekend or

last week. I went on vacation I know a lot of

people probably went on vacation as or the weekend

before this because of its 4th of July weekend

So hope all you Americans had a good holiday

weekend and for those who listen to us out of

state Well, you know, it's American holiday.

So it's really a worldwide holiday. So yeah,

you're welcome for your freedom Anyways, I was

going to the beach and it's for the first time

I went to the beach and actually quite a while

It's been like six years, even though I only

live like two hours away from it And I live in

Maryland, and for those who don't know, Maryland's

kind of like a under case N. It's shaped that

way. And I live near Baltimore, so I'm going

to Ocean City, which is like in the middle on

the other side of it. So in order to get there,

though, there's this thing called the Chesapeake

Bay in the way. And to preface this, I'm not

the biggest fan of heights. Like, you know, if

I was gonna make a top five of my favorite things

in the world, heights would not be on there.

It's not necessarily heights that I worry about,

but the whole falling aspect of it. So part of

this is also, with that, not a big fan of going

over bridges all the time. I can usually handle

it. I usually can handle it pretty well, but...

Partially going into Ocean City. I have to cross

what's called the Bay Bridge, which is It's a

pretty old bridge. It's decently long. It's nothing

like the Golden Gate Bridge or so, but it's a

it's a well -sized bridge You're crossing the

Chesapeake Bay, which is a huge water outlet.

Is it pretty wide? Yeah, it's pretty okay It's

pretty large. It's got a nice circumference to

it. It does it does. Well, this is part of the

issue the big in black It's more of a gray, you

know, I don't know if that's just from aging,

you know, but It's a kind of hairy Are there

bridges that are hairy I don't even moss on it

and stuff No, it's not that old. It's not that

it's not like a bridge on from Ireland or something

like that I don't know what that was. But anyways,

but so I don't like going over bridges and I

have to go over this bridge. It's pretty long.

I'm like, I'll be fine. I usually just go in

the middle lane and I have no issue or whatever.

But that didn't really happen. Part of one of

the lanes was shut down that was going to the

direction I had to go to. So what I ended up

doing is it kind of split the traffic. So I was

on the one side of the bridge that usually has

three lanes going west, but it changed to two

lanes going west and one lane going east. So

to my left, I have two lanes of traffic going

really, really fast. To my right, I have the

bridge and like a very false steep drop down.

So it starts off OK, but eventually near the

top part of the bridge, I notice on the right

hand side kind of the cement like barrier goes

away and it ends up just being kind of like a

fence. And I've seen more distinct structures

separating people in the lines at the bank than

was this fence. It was. This is a rather flimsy

fence to be separating myself from a gigantic

fall and into my lap. I just have cars going

over the place. And with my not big fan of heights,

my mind likes to play little games with me where

it's like shooting in images of bad things that

could possibly happen, like wind suddenly coming

in my car going off the edge. And there's like

every bad thing that could possibly happen. It's

just like going into my head as I have a huge

steep fall on the right hand side and I have

cars whizzing by. So I've never had a panic attack

in my life. But I'm I should mention I'm driving

at this point. But I start having one and freaking

out and like cursing a lot and like yelling.

And and I realized this. So I had to like calm

myself down in order to like cross this bridge.

And like I was like, oh crap, I need to like

get it over with and then finally get over it.

And inch by inch, I finally got through it. But

it was never it was rather not a fun experience.

And it was so great when I finally got done.

And needless to say, on our way back, my wife

drove. So. But yeah, I was like, I had to earn

my trip to the beach. So you had some final destination

thoughts in your head there. Pretty much. It's

like this is what I'm like. I'm thinking of the

image of Pacific Rim where that gigantic, the

kaiju comes out and like destroys the bridge

or Godzilla. Like, I'm like, all these movies

are coming back to haunt me and all these bad

images. And then. But I'd like literally had

to calm myself down and think happy thoughts.

And I eventually got there. Well, if it was good

guy godzilla, he wouldn't have destroyed the

bridge true. He would have went under it Yeah,

yeah, he would like help me over, you know Did

carol lock you in the the trunk as you went over

the bridge? No, the next time I just like I was

it wasn't as bad because we were more in the

middle lane and I didn't have You know traffic

coming in the opposite direction. So okay It

was more so I didn't mentally prepare myself

for that situation So I'm like crap because like,

you know, we go to Philly. We have to go for

bridges I'm usually fine, but it was just like

the combination of all the bad things happening.

So And then like I was thinking about last year

There was an accident on the Bray Bridge where

I tracked a trailer got hit by a high wind and

fell off So I'm thinking like that's gonna happen

because that's how my brain works. But uh, anyways,

I enjoyed the Brit I once I got to the beach.

It was a good time spent like Five hours at the

beach on Saturday just swimming around and whatnot

and uh, it was a good time though I ended up

getting burned So now I'm like peeling which

is great cuz now I look like patients hero of

an upcoming plague as I'm walking around with

my face falling off so Awesome go up to a little

kid and just peel off like a whole huge hunk

of it I'm like I'm people I think I'm crazy at

work cuz like I can't like not pick at it why

I'm at work So just just don't be like a gold

member in the Austin Powers movie No, no, I won't.

I saved this one for you to put in the box, even

though that that accent was probably more Asian

than whatever the hell he was. But surprisingly

less offensive, so. But while at the beach, I

did do something which I don't do nearly enough,

and that was read an actual book. Not only a

book but a book without photos. So it wasn't

a comic book but a legitimate like novel So it

was a little weird not gonna lie. Was it one

of those vacationers pamphlets from the lobby?

No, no, it was it was actually a pretty extensive

book it was over 500 pages It's called Leviathan

wake knowing I was going to the beach I wanted

to pick up a book for the beach and I did and

I was looking for this one I was actually kind

of looking in the like bargain bin center and

this was on one of the bargain bin tables, but

When I got up there, it wasn't a bargain. It

was actually full price. But I was interested

enough and I picked it up. And the thing that

kind of got me was there's like a quote on it

from George R. R. Martin talking about how it's

a really good space opera. So like I mentioned,

it's a little Leviathan wakes. It's written by

James S. A. Cory, which is actually a pen name

for two authors that are actually uh used to

work with george rr martin And the reason I should

probably mention who george rr martin is for

those that don't know He's the guy who wrote

the books for game of thrones. So good news daniel

What's that? I picked up the first season of

games of game of thrones this uh Two days ago

or something So i'm gonna get into watching that

I have season one Blu -ray. I have a good feeling

that you're gonna watch multiple scenes The blonde

girl yeah, yeah, yeah, you might not make it

past the first episode for a good week and a

half But yeah the the actual it's a pen name

for David Abraham and Ty Frank who are assistants

for Jordan or Martin What Leviathan wakes is

this is part one of what's called the expand

series. I haven't read any of the other books,

but It takes place like thousands of years in

the future, which is kind of interesting because

I Feel like a lot of science fiction nowadays.

It's often like just in the distant future It's

not too far off unless you're of course Star

Wars where it's you know, a long long time ago

and the galaxy far away But this is like we have

expanded as a as a population that we now have

colonies on Mars We actually have colonies and

like the belt as well on asteroids and we're

actually using things like Saturn's moons and

rings to Bring water to all these different stations

and whatnot. So it's a kind of a cool world just

to begin with And honestly, I feel like this

book was kind of written for me because I'm a

big fan of crime and I should have a phrase that

I'm a big fan of the crime genre. I'm wearing

my black mask over my face in a ski cap. Yeah.

Yeah I'm a big fan of the crime genre and this

is kind of written like almost like a classic

noir in a sense. It's split up between two characters.

One is like a cop on one of these like asteroid

stations and another one is he works on he's

like a kind of like a miner in a way like a like

a future commander for one of these ships that's

it's really just like it's not like a warship

it's just one that's used as like a utility ship

that travel supplies from from place to place.

It centers around kind of this universe and something

kind of happens where the one ship is attacked

They don't really know why and while that's going

on the the guy who was like the police detective

is also looking for this girl who went missing

and it's kind of like the story where like it

expands upon itself and you find out there's

a lot of linkings between these two things that

really seem like they had nothing in common and

There's like a war brewing between Mars and and

Earth because of their conflicts with one another

I don't want to give too much away with a with

the plot because it's kind of Easy to kind of

get lost in it, but I really really liked it.

I thought it was really good What's it kind of

interesting though? It's not like hardcore science

fiction. It's not like Star Trek It's more by

the book. I would say like I said, it's more

of a crime novel than it is science fiction what

was kind of cool too is how it would with it

switching between the two characters and how

they kind of started very separated and They

would come closer to each other and then like

how their stories would kind of connect which

was which was really interesting I also liked

how, when it created this world, it also got

into how new prejudices would arise. For people

who lived in the asteroid belt for their entire

life, they would look differently because of

the gravity. Without the sun, their skins would

be different. New prejudices started to show

up that weren't there before, so it kind of gets

into this. It really did a good job of making

this world different and unique, and I'm really

excited to read the next novel because there's

so much more that this can touch upon. I would

say though there's not like a lot of like action

per se and Where it goes to in like the final

few chapters was a little bit out of left field

It felt more like a fantasy concept than a science

fiction concept They try to use the science fiction

to explain it, but it felt like one of those

things where it's like Oh science and like they

didn't really get into like how it really works

Or if they did I just didn't really completely

understand it But leaves off at a good spot.

Definitely looking forward to reading more of

it If there's anyone who was looking for a good

like science fiction series to get into I'd say

start with this book I'm again. I don't read

a lot of books I don't know if there's better

ones out there but uh for all those science fiction

I have seen this is really cool and I would love

to see this become a TV series or become a movie

and With my love of movies every time I read

a book all I can think of this like how this

would work as a film I don't think I'd work as

a movie, but I think it could really work as

a TV series. So But anyways, I'll stop blabbering

on. Chuck, I know you had a really busy week,

but you get to do anything else this week besides,

you know, work, you know, real life stuff. Well,

a couple of nights I did get to I mentioned last

episode, I got the Executioner song hardcover

on eBay. So I've been reading a little bit of

that about halfway through. And hopefully when

I finish that, I could do like an actual review.

kind of reading that got me into the X -Men mood.

So I picked up an old Xbox game that I had, which

was X -Men Legends 2 Rise of Apocalypse. I don't

know if you guys remember playing that. It's

kind of in the style of Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

Yeah, I love that game. I played the first one

and that was it. I wish I played the second one,

though. I would say the second one is like leaps

and bounds better than the first one. The bad

thing about those games not bad thing But it's

like I just end up like like creating teams and

just like creating a new team and then creating

a new team Yeah, I couldn't get like on one team

and the cool thing about that one too is like

how it brings in the villains and stuff like

that That was just it was pretty awesome. Yeah,

I usually play like my four favorite characters

to play with usually are Colossus Iceman Gambit

Wolverine But I do switch it up because it's

like, you know you get there attributes built

up really high and then some of your other characters

are lower so you kind of have to bring some of

them up too and you need different powers for

different levels and stuff so you do end up having

to switch off characters every now and then but

I will say Nightcrawler in that game is really

freaking cool because you can just teleport through

walls into other sections of the level and stuff

like that and like doors that you would normally

have to like go find like a key or something

Go on this big hunt to open like Nikari can just

like teleport through the door. So playing with

him is pretty sweet. But definitely brought back

some memories playing that game. Would you say

you enjoyed the X -Men Legends games more than

Ultimate Alliance or? But that's that's close.

I mean, I like Ultimate Alliance a lot. The second

one, I really didn't care too much for. I do

love the first one. Yeah, I was. That was kind

of to support me because I'm like it's doing

a Civil War storyline and it just I don't know

something about it didn't work as well Yeah,

and I ended up playing that one on the Wii which

was okay It wasn't like as difficult as I thought

it was. I only have a regular Xbox And a Wii

and they didn't make Marvel Ultimate Alliance

for the regular Xbox So I had to get it for Wii

to play it I think I rented it back when like

blockbuster was still around I ended up beating

that but I do like the first one a lot better

It's a toss -up between that and X -Men Legends

2. I mean, they're set up the exact same way

pretty much. I guess it's just a preference of

the storyline and the characters, so I don't

know. I kind of like the Ultimate Alliance one

a little bit better just because there's a more

variety of characters and stuff. Very nice. I

think my favorite character playing that, I remember

loving Magneto and Juggernaut. Yeah, it's great

to just get juggernaut on your team and just

start pounding people I had I got that for like

the PSP too because there was a time in my life

where I had a PSP and I never finished it and

I always wanted to because I think cable wasn't

it because like the title screen would show cable

Who was one of my like I'm one of the few people

that like that character. Oh, yeah Well, I know

some different consoles had different extra characters

So like some of the some of the Xbox one Xbox

ones might be a little different than PlayStation

ones and what -have -you Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I

do hate when they do that. It's like just pick

your you know, just make them all the same. Yeah,

anyways Greg, what are you been up to this week?

Well, I'm once again being very classy Hello

everybody more shitty dogs No more ping dogs

exactly Daniel Very good. I have read a most

stellar novel. It was a Star Wars novel, and

it was apparently one of the first ones written

after the first Star Wars movie. Not The Phantom

Menace. It was A New Hope, of course. As we all

know, New Hope episode four came out before Phantom

Menace episode one. Question. How long will this

accent continue? It will continue until Daniel

also agrees that the accent should stop. OK,

well, yeah, then definitely. Not that it's bad,

but I'm just it's just intimidating, Greg. I

just feel it is. I feel so much less classier

than you. I just feel like a redneck hillbilly.

Well, you should, Charles. I am very well educated

and I have read extensively. Extensively, sir.

This week, at least. All right, I'm out of the

accent. Wait, Greg came back. We traded some

English guy for Greg. Am I a trade up or a trade

down? Well, we traded you and a player to be

named later, so we don't know yet. It's a different

position, so it's hard to evaluate. Oh, OK. I

want all positions. I read Star Wars, Splinter

of a Mind's Eye. It was apparently, according

to the foreword by George Lucas, it was apparently

one of the first novels written after Star Wars,

episode four, New Hope. And I think you can kind

of tell throughout it. I don't think the author

and I don't remember his name at this point.

I don't have the book anywhere near me, but.

The author you could definitely tell didn't know

where the characters would be going in the films

because he went very kind of romantic between

Leia and Luke in the story. Oh man. Luke meets

up with Darth Vader and apparently, Darth Vader,

I almost said duty, Darth Vader apparently has

figured out who Luke is and has done some research

on Luke. parent and the way they talk to each

other it's like Darth has no freaking clue that

this is his son and and everything so there's

there's yeah there's there's weird stuff like

that and when you first start off reading this

book you think it's gonna go one way and then

it just kind of takes you down like a different

tangent and it doesn't even resolve what they

saw what you thought the story was going to be

to begin with, because it's a diplomatic mission.

Leigh is trying to bring this planet into the

rebellion, but something happens to her Y -wing,

and she has to pull down into this other planet,

and Luke is kind of her bodyguard, and he's in

his X -wing, and he follows her down to the planet,

and then... There's some kind of mining operation

that you find out later that has made this kind

of electrical storm. So that kind of takes out

both their base vehicles. So they both kind of

crash land and they find this mine. It's run

by the Empire and then this. So they need to

find a vehicle to get to this meeting to bring

in this other planet into the rebellion and they

kind of go off. trying to find a vehicle but

then this lady finds them who's like I'll help

you find a vehicle if you help me get this jewel

thing and then they set off and They're in this

it's a whole big jungle planet that can eat you

up and they're trying to avoid Empire they're

trying to avoid The natural inhabitants of the

planet. It was a good read. It wasn't great It

kind of falls into the the common Star Wars fare

for me to be quite honest It's not one of the

top ones. My favorite of the Star Wars book has

been the Darth Bane trilogy Just for kind of

the information you get and I think Darth Bane's

kind of a badass Sith Lord. It was alright So

for the for the Darth Bane trilogy, when does

that take place? The Darth Bane takes place well

well before the Battle of Yavin, because that's

how they have it laid out in the front of the

Star Wars books. Let me pull out one of the books

I have, because they have a whole thing in the

front of Star Wars novels where they list where

the books are in the timeline and everything,

which is very convenient. So let me look that

up real quick, because I have the book right

here. The Darth Bane series apparently takes

place 1020 years before Star Wars A New Hope.

Did you play that game Night of the Old Republic?

No, I did not. Okay, because I know that took

place like thousands of years before Star Wars,

which is interesting because like all the technology

is the same, so that's... Sometimes they'll take

those video games and they'll transition into

like a story, but I don't see anything about

that kind of stuff in this particular book unless

this book is on the older side, so... So I'm

kind of getting into this whole reading thing

again. For those Star Wars books, do you feel

like you can pick them up without, like, extensive

knowledge of the entire franchise? Yeah, because

they definitely do the Marvel method approach

of bringing you in and updating you with the

characters and telling you what they're all about

and whatnot. So they definitely do that. So if

you don't even watch Star Wars, you could pick

up a book and they'll kind of inform you what's

going on, what's the setup on everything. So

if you're coming in completely ignorant of the

whole thing, you're going to be fine. But if

you have read other Star Wars novels, if you

watch the movies, it's kind of interesting to

see the in -betweens and get some extra detail.

Currently, I'm reading Star Wars Empire Strikes

Back in the novelization form, and it's kind

of interesting. I'm only part way through, but

they kind of... Every once in a while they'll

change a line here or there, because I got to

the part where Han cuts open the tauntaun, and

you know the famous line that he says after that,

of course. It's hot in here? I thought they smelled

bad on the outside. Yeah, yeah. That is completely

out of this book. He does not say that at all,

which is kind of weird. But then it gets kind

of interesting because they kind of give you

a little bit more detail. Like that drone that

came down is searching the surface of Hoth. You

don't really see what happens to it during the

whole time when Han goes out looking for Luke

and they stay in the tent and tauntaun overnight.

Apparently it... kind of hibernates itself overnight

and he gets buried by snow on top of this force

field that has around it. And it kind of has

a nice, it forms a nice dome of snow over the

top. So as like little stuff like that, which

I think kind of makes it interesting and kind

of adds to the depth of the whole Star Wars mythos.

Does instead of Luke saying, or Darth Vader saying,

look, I am your father, does he go, look, I am

your baby daddy? I didn't get that far in the

book yet Dan. I'm still on half for the time.

I'm sorry. I should have said spoiler warning

Damn Chuck were you gonna say something? I feel

like I cut you off I had something in my head,

but I didn't try to say yeah, but Craig I missed

what you said about the when the Darth Bane stuff

happened It was a thousand years. Was it before

or after? It was it was before a new hope because

Darth Bane is the one that kind of sets up the

he sets up the rule of two and he sets up the

basement level for Rebuilding the the Sith Lord's

he he kind of took down the old order of the

Sith and he Kind of gets into just a little bit

into him starting to rebuild it though. I think

the last book is where he kind of Spoiler alert

takes down the Sith Right. So does that also

take place before the Dark Knight rises? I'm

just totally confused. It takes place a long

long time ago in a galaxy far far away from a

Dark Knight. A long long time ago yet somehow

in the future. Yes. Was Darth Bane also born

in the shadows? He worked in a mine. He was a

a miner, and he was a big, huge, bulky dude.

I don't think they really go... It's been a while

since I wrote it. I don't think they go really

too far back. I think they go into his years

of mining, and I don't think they really mention

much of his childhood. Interesting, interesting.

Who is the one after him? Like, who is his apprentice?

Oh, they didn't get into that. They say that

he... You guys are gonna... pick a way to turn

this on me. At the end of the third one, I believe

he picks up a young girl and she might be his

apprentice. And I think he goes into a little

bit further that she actually does. And I don't

remember her name. And I think she's and I'm

hoping I'm saying this right. I think she's a

Twillock. OK. Like the blue with the long. Kind

of tails coming out of like a la Sakura. Yes,

that's pretty cool I think she kind of comes

in a little bit later But like I said, it's been

a while since I read it. So I'm a little foggy

on that I don't know how Chuck felt when we talked

about dr. Hoog something I have no idea what

you guys are saying I will say the I may have

to check out one of those Star Wars novels one

time as much as I hate actual books but um, I

will say the Star Wars graphic novels like are

are very interesting as well, especially like

the Clone Wars stuff and they get into all those

different species and all the different Jedi's

and you learn more about them and stuff. It's

pretty cool. I like to when I'm reading the novels,

I like to try and figure out and get a picture

in my own head of how they're describing it,

like how I think the creature would be. And then

going on, there's a website called Wookipedia.

Oh, yeah, I've spent some some hours on that

site. Yeah, and so I'll look up and see if they

have an actual picture of the creature person.

Interesting. Usually I'm way off base. It's called

Lookopedia? Look -a -pedia, yeah. Oh, is it just

for Star Wars? Yeah. I thought it would be like

the people creating things for books and you

have to... I had an idea there and it didn't

maybe maybe it's worth a million dollars. What's

kind of interesting though? It's like it's our

25th episode. It's like the first time I really

talked about Star Wars Yeah, yeah people do like

a special theme episode or something I need to

read some of the novels and stuff. I want to

I want to read more It's like a gold mine. I

read one book and I'm reading another one right

now, too So maybe I'll talk about that next week

anything else though before we take a break here

No, nothing to me. Uh, no. No, no. No. Greg searched

the data banks. No, nothing. Nerithan. All righty.

So we're going to take a quick break. And when

we come back, we'll be talking about our top

five movies that you have not seen. And I promise

you, Star Wars is not one of them. Or maybe.

What about sports? Yeah, that's alright. All

right, and welcome back. Like I mentioned, today

we are making the unknown known as we're counting

down our top five movies that you have not seen

or probably even ever heard of. Before we went

to break, we were talking a great deal about

Star Wars. And my first one, I don't know how

unknown it is. So it's actually the way I arranged

my list. I'm starting with what I think is probably

the most popular and then ending with which what

I think is the least popular. My first one I

think this is probably gonna get more and more

popular as a year goes on But I think there are

a great deal of people that have not heard it

or have not seen it Especially on a key cast

radio. I seem like not many people talk about

it and that movie is Attack the block. Have you

guys seen attack the block? It was attacking

what block what? No, never heard of it. No. All

right. We'll see is this about Mario? It is not

about Mario. It is, Greg, I think you would really,

really dig this movie. Those in Nerdly that are

listening on Nerdly probably know more about

it because it is a British film. It's Chip Chip

Cheerio, boys. Hello. Not so much. It starts.

There's no one really big in it. But the reason

I say that it is Star Wars based is because its

main star is actually going to be a star of the

upcoming episode seven, John Boyega. who was

a star of this movie will be one of the supposed

Jedi in the upcoming Star Wars film. So if you

want to get a good glimpse of what he what he

has acting wise, definitely check out a talk

the block and what it is about. It's about it's

about an alien invasion and a young teen gang

in South London basically stumbles upon like

a meteor and it actually ends up being this like.

Alien monster and they end up having to kind

of attack like a save their block from all these

aliens are suddenly invading and it's really

like look I won't say it's super low budget,

but it's really practical effects. It's like

Goonies meets Like Shaun of the Dead meets the

wire in a way Yeah, it's it's not as spoof II

as Shaun of the Dead, but it has a lot of great

humor The characters are all interesting if you're

a fan of science fiction like in your like kind

of i'd say like old school science fiction like

this especially like 80s science fiction uh i

would highly highly recommend attack the block

i cannot recommend it higher it's a lot of fun

the the design of the characters the design of

the aliens it's really great they're like puppets

very simple but very effective so unfortunately

it's not really streaming anywhere you can rent

it on amazon uh but you can't stream it for free

but it's worth picking up definitely so My number

five was Attack the Block. I'll now move on over

to Greg. What's first on your list? Well, I have

for my number five, I have something, I'm not

sure if many people would consider it a movie.

It's something from my childhood that's kind

of got more of a... nostalgia appeal to it than

anything else. And I'm not sure how many people

have actually seen it, but it kind of had that

whole feel that I got from the Avengers when

you had Captain America, Iron Man, all those

characters coming together for the first time

when they're fighting Loki in Germany. It kind

of gave me that feeling when I was younger and

wasn't as into comic books as I am now. And that

is the cartoon All -Stars. to the rescue. There's

no time to kill Go on pushy check protect yourself

It's an animated feature. Apparently, it was

distributed by McDonald's and it was an educational

story. I know those usually suck, but I really

like this one because you've got a Muppet Baby,

Kermit the Frog, you've got some of the Smurfs,

Winnie the Pooh. Do you need to be a Ninja Turtle?

Turtles, yeah. The Chipmunks, Bugs Bunny, Daffy

Duck, Tigger, Alf. um, Slimer from the Ghostbusters,

Huey Dewey and Louie. So it's, it's got, uh,

there's Garfield in there too. So it's got all

these great classic icons from late 80s, early

90s that I really loved. But the plot is actually,

um, this kid's gonna, gets really into marijuana

and stealing his dad's beer and his sister. is

very concerned about him because apparently he

steals her piggy bank and so all these toys and

stuff come to life as these characters and help

her go find her brother and get him through his

drug addiction and everything. It's pretty cool

and they have like a villain character that plays

his kind of addiction through the whole thing.

But it was just one of those films where it's

like all these great characters coming to life

that you never thought you would see come together

in one place. So if you're looking for something

that's a little fun and probably not going to

take up all of your attention, I'd recommend

Cartoon All -Stars to the rescue. Man, very classic

man. I forgot all about that. I do remember watching

that in school or They really tricked me as a

kid because I don't even think it like when I

watched I remember renting it from the library

Yes, I was that kid Renting it from alive. It

was oh man. It was it was really cool seeing

like the DuckTales with Teenage Mutant Ninja

Turtles Wow, man, they only they only had Michelangelo

though, which is really weird Yeah, well, I mean

he was a cool one. So yeah, I guess raps actually

really in the pot. So maybe he wouldn't He wouldn't

participate I don't know. All right, that sounds

really awesome. I'm gonna have to check that

out I don't know why I've never seen that really

I can imagine we watched this in grade school

I could I thought we did I sure I watched it

in school too, but it's it's only 27 minutes

and I think they have it on YouTube Chuck Okay

Cool. I'd try and look it up on YouTube first.

Yeah. Yeah. All right, Chuck, what is your number

five? Well, my number five, I'm guessing you

guys have never heard of this. Of course, Dan,

I never know because you're the you're the movie

encyclopedia. So this this one is called An Unfinished

Life. I have not heard of that. It's from 2005,

fairly new, starred Robert Redford, Jennifer

Lopez and Who else Morgan Freeman? But basically

it's Jennifer Lopez's character, Jean, attempts

to escape this abusive boyfriend by moving with

her daughter to her former father -in -law's

ranch in Wyoming. So she's trying to get away

from Morgan Freeman. No, no, he's... Does Morgan

Freeman have to hit a bitch? I love her fat ass.

Well, I don't know how I could top that, but

onward we go. But the ex -father -in -law is

Robert Redford. She was married to his son who

they were in a car accident together. She survived.

His son didn't. Robert Redford's character whose

name is Einar, which never heard that name before,

but Einar hates her because she survived and

his son didn't, but he agrees to take her in

for a time because she's kind of under duress.

So Morgan Freeman also lives on the ranch. He's

a longtime friend and he's also a helper on the

ranch and stuff, but he is recovering from a

bear attack. Wow. He got mauled by a bear and

Einar was too drunk at the time of the attack,

couldn't get the grizzly off him in time before

he got really badly injured. So as he progressed,

like Mitch kind of learns not to fear the bear

anymore. And Einar tries to accept what happened

to his son was not Gene's fault and everything.

And he builds a great relationship with his granddaughter,

who he didn't even know. existed, and it's got

some great scenes in it. I could put a clip or

two up in the episode post, but basically at

some point the abusive boyfriend shows up, of

course, and we see Robert Redford absolutely

kick his ass, and it is so gratifying. And then

Mitch finds himself face -to -face with the bear

again for a second time. Robert Redford kicks

some more ass, this time in a diner. But it's

it's really like a great story with some fantastic

like wilderness imagery and stuff I'm pretty

sure it's filmed in Wyoming and terrific acting.

I mean Redford and Freeman are amazing together

Honestly, like probably two of the greatest actors

of all time in my opinion Jennifer Lopez actually

does a surprisingly good job. She's pretty good

in this and It's it's not an action movie. Don't

like think it's that it's definitely like a drama,

but it's terrific story with some Intense scenes

intermingled. So it's definitely worth the watch.

It's called the and unfinished life Interesting.

Yeah, I definitely never heard of that. So don't

fear the black bear Don't fear the black bear.

Do do do this was a grizzly much more terrifying

Don't be the grizzly See that doesn't work as

well except he's not as frightening as Morgan

Freeman That that's someone you should fear.

I mean He is the voice of god at the end. He

narrates it and says the bear was done in by

the very bacteria that We've built up tolerance

to No, it's not a world or the world to cross

over but very good nonetheless Alrighty next

on my list number four this one. I went back

and forth with a few but I ended up going with

this one because This is one of my personal favorite

films for a lot of reasons first. It stars one

of my favorite comics patten oswalt Any geek,

I think, would appreciate Patton Oswalt's comedy.

If anything, just look up his Villabuster of

Star Wars, episode 7, that he did for Parks and

Recreation. It's a great clip. It's pretty amazing.

The guy knows his stuff, and he's endlessly funny.

And this movie, Big Fan, he plays a hardcore

New York Giants fan. I've heard of this movie.

I have not seen it, but I have heard of this

movie Yeah, some some may have but I again another

one I just like talking about because I think

more people should see it So hopefully people

will go out and see it again. This is unfortunately

not streaming anywhere It is on Amazon for rent

as well as iTunes, but Like I mentioned Patton

Oswald plays this New York Giants fan and but

he's a little bit I would say mentally unstable

and he kind of gets into like how Fandom like

kind of the dark side of fandom and how what

it can lead to he ends up like meeting one of

the players that is a part of the team and With

this being at low budget in the it's obviously

they don't really use any New York Giants suffer

for real and But he means one of the players

and it doesn't go as well and it kind of leads

to all these issues But he's also one of those

people. I don't know. Have you guys ever I chuck

I'm pretty sure you do but Listen to like talk

radio sports talk radio. Oh, yeah every day pretty

much you get someone else people that call in

and they're a little bit crazy This is this is

this guy and he thinks he's like a lot more clever

than he really is and He gets this feud with

this person from Philadelphia because Philadelphia

is full of skull and villainy You know, they're

the worst people in the history of the world.

So I mean it gets that right I think it gets

that right but no Plus they hate the Giants.

Yeah for I shouldn't I don't know if I mentioned

but I am a New York Giants fan So I I could personally

feel his pain in Staten Island, he always brings

the leverage. What's on your mind, brother? Hey,

sports dog, how you doing? I'm just calling to

say I can't wait for this Sunday when we finally

shut these Philly clowns up once and for all.

I can't tell you how sick I am of Philadelphia

Phil and all these cheesesteak bozos going on

about Brian Westbrook this and how we can't stop

their passing game. Are you joking? You put the

tiniest bit of pressure on McNam. That guy crumbles

like a cookie. Now, you guys may have put some

points up against the Skins last week, and that's

fine, but the G -Men are a whole different story,

my friend. You think you're gonna throw 388 yards

with Quantrel Bishop in your face all day long?

It's not easy hitting a recie - It's not easy

hitting a receiver laid out on your back. So

listen up Philadelphia Phil and all the rest

of you brotherly love jabronis who've been Who've

been talking smack on all week on this show get

out your forks because you're gonna be eating

your words big time I love his passion. Thanks.

Thanks sports dog. You're the man But it's interesting

because he's huge Giants fan he goes but he can't

afford tickets So he has to watch the game from

the parking lot in the back of his car. He just

works at like a till booth. He has kind of a

crappy job. It's just a really interesting film.

Good character study. Patton Oswald is actually

a really good actor. He's good in this. He's

also really good in this movie Young Adult. I

don't think he gets enough credit for that. But

any sports fan, it's like a sports movie that's

almost kind of the opposite side of most sports

films. So I would anyone who's ever, like I said,

been a fan of sports or listen to talk radio

about sports. There are a lot of jokes, I think,

in there that you'll get. It's funny, but like

darkly funny. So it's not. You know, it's kind

of a depressing movie, honestly, just because

of the life he has to live and whatnot. So basically,

if you're a sports fan, I would say even not

a sports fan. Check out Big Fan. Smartly written,

darkly comedic character study that I can highly

recommend, even if you're an Eagles fan. And

I don't know why the Spawn of Satan would watch

movies. But if you are, I think you'd even appreciate

the movie like Big Fan. So I don't know. If you

can't tell not a big fan of Eagles fans, I don't

know why Greg before I go out on tangent What's

next on your list next on my list is another?

Nostalgia movie for me. I think actually most

of the movies on my list are I'm not sure if

you guys have heard it or not. It's got a huge

big -time producer that maybe you've heard of

it was produced by Stephen No, actually, it wasn't.

I thought it was produced by Steven Spielberg,

but apparently it wasn't. His name is on everything,

so... No, I have it up, actually. It was produced

by Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, and Ronald

L. Schwary. But actually, I found interesting.

The screenplay has Brad Bird on it, who is the

dude that did Incredibles. No. He did the Incredibles.

He's done a Mission Impossible film. But the

movie I'm talking about is Batteries Not Included.

I could have sworn Spielberg was on that. That's

interesting. Right? I thought he was, too. I

haven't looked up on Wikipedia. Not Wookipedia,

but Wikipedia. I think I've heard you mention

this before, but I have never seen it. It's about...

this neighborhood where it's pretty much getting

demolished to put up a whole bunch of skyscrapers,

but there's one building left and the tenants

are all having their different struggles. There's

an older couple where the wife has Alzheimer's

and she thinks it's back in the day and she's

always looking for her son, but apparently something

happened to the son. I think he passed away or

something in a war back in the day. And there's

other tenants that are having their own difficulties.

Well, this big businessman is trying to get the

place torn down so he can get his skyscrapers

built, but he can't purchase this one building

because these people won't get the hell out of

the way. So he sends in people to kind of wreck

up the joint. So they've also got that. struggle

that they're going against and so finally one

night some aliens come down and they're these

little mechanical looking spaceship type things

but they're actually beings from different worlds

and they come down because they're going to have

kids and everything and when this all happens

it kind of turns around everybody's struggles

and kind of makes everything Alright, so it's

it's one of those feel -good movies and even

the guy that's trying to Muscle them out of the

building kind of kind of has a change of heart

I don't think I'm giving away too much by revealing

that It's a very you kind of know what's gonna

happen type of film but it was a movie that I

loved from my childhood and I Wish it was kind

of on the lips of more people nowadays But if

you haven't seen it check out batteries not included

Yeah, I've never seen it. I've always I like

I've saw it on Blockbuster all the time and I

think I maybe catch it on TV like but never watched

it fully through So very very good choice Chuck

what's next on your list? except for me number

four is a Western if you listen to some past

episodes, you know, I'm I'm a fan of Western's

I think we all are to some degree. I lost my

love and feeling Yeah, cuz you you're overseeing

The rifleman at this point, right? Oh, yeah rifleman

bonanza I Know my mom watches gun smoke every

single night when I go to visitor. It's like

on every time. It's kind of funny God you get

like two or three hours of that in one night.

Yeah This one's an older Western as most of them

are but this one is from 1972 and it was a John

Wayne classic and it's called the Cowboys you

You almost got him killed, you know that. But

I tried to tell you. The hell you did. I tried

hard. If you'd have been out in that water, we'd

have heard you loud and clear. I couldn't get

the words out. You could have if you'd have wanted

to. You just didn't want to bad enough. Before

God, I tried. Try and don't get it done. Fact

is, you almost let your friend choke to death

out in that river. I'd rather die than done that.

Then you're a liar. Listen to me, you whining

little whelp. You're gonna stop that stuttered

or get the hell out of here. You're gonna stop

it or go home, do you hear me? Son of a bitch.

What did you say? You goddamn son of a bitch.

Say that again. You goddamn mean son of a bitch.

Say it faster. You goddamn mean dirty son of

a bitch. I wouldn't make it a habit calling me

that, son. I did it. I did it. Have you guys

ever heard of this movie? No, I've not. I have

not either. Go figure a western beat called The

Cowboys. But it's got John Wayne and it has Bruce

Dern, which I don't know if a lot of people are

familiar with, but he was in some other westerns.

Yeah. Yeah. And he seems like he's always good

at playing a great bad guy. Oh, the Cowboys.

I think I know this one. Is it the one? I don't

want to give it all away, but the one where he

has to take care of all the kids and the cooks,

the black dude. Yeah, I'll get into it a little

bit. OK, I do know this one. I have seen it.

This is an enjoyable one. Sorry. This. Yeah,

this is a great movie. And it's definitely not

your ordinary Western. Like, it's definitely

a different spin on the classic genre, but it

works to perfection, in my opinion. I think the

best way I can describe this movie is It's like

a coming -of -age movie set in the Old West.

Nice. Well, that sounds good, yeah. Yeah, and

I know we talked about before how we don't get

a lot of those movies anymore, so if you're looking

for that sort of thing, this one might be a good

one to go to. Basically, you have John Wayne's

character, Will Anderson. He loses his ranch

hands right as he's about to embark on this cattle

drive and pretty much has nowhere to turn, so

he hires a group of young boys from the nearby

schoolhouse. to be his cowboys on this 400 mile

cattle drive. That was clearly a different time,

because I cannot do that now. I'm going to show

up to the local school and then take kids 400

miles. So don't mind me. You're cool with that,

right, Teach? Definitely a different time. But

with the stirrups, I mean, it's a little weird.

It's really cool. Like the kids kind of range

in age from like... I don't know, maybe like

10, 12 years old. I think the oldest one's like

17 or 18, something like that. Oh, and fun fact

about one of the kids, I'm not sure if you're

gonna say this or not, Chuck. Do you know a fun

fact? Uh, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure one

of them was an actor that I've seen in other

stuff as he got older, but I'm not sure which

one. Yes, one of the actors actually grew up

and he was one of the main guys in Revenge of

the Nerds. Yes, that's him, yeah. Yes. I knew

I recognized him somewhere. It's not the one

that goes on to play the doctor in ER. It's the

other one. Yeah. Now that you mention that, yeah,

because I was looking at him and I'm like, I

freaking know that guy from somewhere like when

he gets older. But the guy who played Lizzie

McGuire's father. Fuck me for knowing that. Because

I have no idea. Yeah, I was I taught around that

time. That's what I know. Sure. You subscribe

to the Disney Channel. But anyway, it's really

funny because the kids are actually really funny

and for such like young ages they got some really

great actors. Some of them can't ride a horse

that well so they kind of have to learn really

quick and they continue along the cattle drive

and they kind of turn into men as they go along

and they learn to stand up for themselves and

to be tough when things are hard. And there's

a particular scene where This is probably my

favorite scene in the movie, or one of them at

least, where they get into the liquor from the

wagon one night, while John Wayne's character

Mr. Anderson and the cook, while they were sleeping,

the kids found the liquor in the wagon, they

went off into the woods, had a campfire, and

they were having a grand old time. It's absolutely

hilarious. They start cursing and... really talking

about grown -up stuff and like you just never

expected it up to this point in the movie and

it's just this great moment of levity and then

you kind of see like uh john wayne and the other

guy wake up and they're kind of looking on from

the bushes and stuff and they're kind of laughing

for a little bit before they break it up but

really really great scene but my favorite is

when they go to the prostitute yeah there's yeah

there's a lot of great scenes that movie wait

was that real was that greg being greg They actually

find a group of prostitutes. They do. This is

factual. It's a really, really fun movie, especially

if you like westerns. But even if you don't,

honestly, it's a fun time. You get to see John

Wayne later in his prime and you actually get

to see him do something in this movie that he

very rarely does in other films. You definitely

check out the Cowboys. I think, Dan, since you

haven't seen them, I'm pretty sure you would

love this movie because I know you like those

coming of age movies, too. And it's really great

watching all these kids go in this cattle drive

and grow up and become men. And it's it's really

cool movie. They all sleep with the prostitutes.

Well, there you go. But yeah, the westerns are.

The one genre I think I probably need to catch

up with the most I mean I have I do love a lot

of westerns like bush cassidy Once upon a time

in the west and a few but a lot of john wayne

stuff. I need to get it get into All right Moving

on to my next one and I mentioned with a tactile

block that that's kind of like a sean of the

dead and A little bit but this one's a lot more

like sean of the dead. It's sean of the dead.

It's sean of the dead No, it's hot fuzz I love

hot buzz. No, not really, but I love that movie,

too No, my next one is a movie called which is

currently streaming on Netflix. It's called grabbers

and I've seen that one too. Nice. Yes This movie

came out last year, so it's relatively new. And

again, I didn't get much buzz at all last year.

I heard some people talk about it, but I kind

of came and went. So I wanted to talk about it.

And for those that are unaware, it's, again,

another alien invasion movie. I feel like I have

a theme going, and I didn't even intend to. But

basically, an alien kind of evades this. I believe

it's Scottish, but I don't know. I apologize

if I'm wrong. But it's a small island in the

United Kingdom. and this alien comes and it's

it's kind of like an alien like from the movie

aliens in a way where it kind of grabs and sucks

on your face in a little bit but what they find

out is that it's also impervious to people that

are drunk so basically the fight back against

this alien they have to kind of get the town

drunk they kind of like fight against it and

stop it from taking over so yeah it's like a

vision of invasion of that body snatchers with

shawna the dead Little more darker. I don't think

it's as good as run of the dead, but it's certainly

a good time the special effects I thought were

really good for such a small but film The characters

are really strong and a lot of the set pieces

are great But I don't really have much to say

about it. It's a really a relatively short film

It's a kind of like a year. We talked about like

B movie science fiction last week with Toxic

Adventure. It's not like a schlocky movie like

overly violent by any means, but it's just it's

kind of like a I don't know, how you could say

maybe like a Twilight episode, just a little

bit more comedic. Hi, Tim. We don't mention Twilight

on this. Not Twilight, I'm sorry. Twilight Zone.

Twilight Zone episode. I knew what you were talking

about. I should be punished for that deeply.

So I would highly recommend that like I said

current currently streaming on Netflix Greg you

said you see did you like it as well or am I

I I did enjoy it as well as it was Really funny

and it definitely was hitting that a B rated

science fiction, but it felt kind of intentional

that they were doing it that way too. So, and

I agree with your statement that it kind of resembles

a Shaun of the Dead. It's Shaun of the Dead with

aliens. Yeah, yeah. It's a good way to put it.

What was that called again, Dan? It's called

grabbers. Grabbers. Yeah, I just remember that

part where he said grabbing and sucking on someone's

face, because I was thinking of grabbing and

sucking on something else. I'll have to keep

my feelers out for grabbers. All right, moving

on to Greg. What is your number three? I guess

we're not necessarily ordering these, but whatever's

next on your list, you know. Well, I think I'll

put for my number three. It's Alfred Hitchcock

movie. I don't think many people have heard of

it, even though it's got a very well known old

school actor, Jimmy Stewart. It's called. Nice.

Nice. If you haven't seen this, it actually just

essentially takes place in one room for the entire

movie. They have a little bit at the beginning

where it takes place outside and that's where

you catch your glimpse of Hitchcock making his

appearance in the film. But then it kind of goes

inside and it's these two college kids that are

having a dinner party. but they have um killed

one of their friends and they're going to see

it like try and get away with it they have the

rope that they murdered the the kid with on them

and around and i believe that they have the body

in a cabinet uh in the room and um they're gonna

see like if they can get away with the type of

situation the one kid was very into it and uh

the other kid is starting to regret their decision

to do this and it doesn't want to go this far

with it. He wants to just kind of like bury the

body, get it away and hide all the evidence.

But this other guy is trying to play games the

whole time and it just really raises the suspense

level the entire way through. Of course, Alfred

Hitchcock is the master of suspense and you have

Jimmy Stewart in there who is playing one of

their favorite teachers who kind of Gave them

the idea even though he would never do it He

kind of gave them the idea behind Why they murdered

their friend and everything and so they're trying

to see if they could make it past this teacher

without him Knowing that they have committed

murder even though the the one guy is kind of

throwing out a little bit of clues here and there,

kind of, but it's just very suspenseful. It's

my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie, and I really

love Alfred Hitchcock's movies, all of them that

he's done. This one is by far my favorite, even

over Vertigo and ones like that. But since it's

not well -known movies, I think this is one of

his lesser -known movies, and this one's just

fantastic. Yeah, it's one I've heard of but I

have not seen so a great recommendation I've

heard a lot of great things too and I think a

lot of it's done with like we've talked previously

about like doing long continuous shots and I

know the rope is rather famous for a lot of them

so Well, they do a little tricks of they make

it look like one giant shot for the entire movie

essentially except they're Use different things

to kind of pan in and out but it makes it look

like it's just one continuous shot Yeah, it's

kind of amazing what Hitchcock was able to do

a lot like and there are things like we take

for granted because of technology today But stuff

that was never really even transitioning and

zooming in for a lot of his films. It's kind

of incredible Yeah, he's he's he's amazing and

I still have to see they made a movie about his

life that I still have to check out where Sir

Anthony Hopkins plays Alfred Hitchcock They actually

made two they made well They made that one and

HBO made one too and the guy who plays Hitchcock

is a guy who plays Zola in the Captain America

movie Okay. Yeah, you play such cock as well.

So yeah, I've heard I haven't heard good things

about either of them, but I've not seen them

So can't really tell you Well, I want to see

him anyway, because I'm a big Hitchcock fan.

Yeah. All right. Moving on. Chuck, what is next

on your list? Next up for me, my number three.

This is a very creepy movie. And it's probably

one that you guys have heard me talk about, because

I've been kind of promoting this movie and bragging

it up to a lot of people. But it's not a horror

flick, but it's more of like a thriller. It's

from 2002. It's called Mothman prophecies. Oh

I'm gonna I'm gonna go to the bathroom or something

while you're talking about this Chuck This movie

is that creeps me the fuck out Yeah, it is the

one horror movie that I hate to watch So I'm

gonna go to the bathroom while you guys talk

about this like seriously You could stay and

you'd probably still go to the bathroom. I have

to get up really early because I'm making a brisket

and it's probably going to be dark out when I'm

going to go out there to start up and everything.

I don't need to hear this before I go out there.

So I'm going to the bathroom. Type in the bottom

when you guys are done with this and I'll put

my headphones back on. I will be back later.

Bye. Greg has left the building. Anyways, I have

not seen Lothman prophecy. So what is it about

Chuck? Well, surely you've heard me talk about

it because yeah, I've heard you talking about

it It stars Richard Gere Will Patton to who I

really like as an actor Let's get a couple other

people's from smaller parts. But like I said,

it's not really like a horror flick It's it's

not like a gory Bloody thing. It doesn't have

a lot of those, you know jump out of your seat

moments, but it's it's the kind that like really

gets in your head and gives you goosebumps the

entire time. Super eerie and everything. And

like, like Greg alluded to, you want to be sure

to watch with the lights off because it really

sets the mood for this adds to the creepiness.

It's creepy, but it's like a it's like a rush

creepy, like when you're done with it, you're

like happy you watch this movie. Sorry, he wants

to tell Greg we're done already, just so it gets

on to. I'm going to leave this recording on his

voicemail so he has to listen to it. It'll just

hang up. But basically it's about, you know,

Richard Gere plays this guy, John Klein, who

is a reporter and along with his wife is involved

in a car accident. She stays alive for some time,

but she ends up not making it. And obviously

Richard Gere's character survives. And before

she dies, she mentions seeing uh something strange

like out the car window before they crashed and

she ended up drawing several eerie pictures on

of a moth -like creature and this notebook and

stuff in the hospital and uh so he like he thinks

it's weird but he doesn't think much of it so

one night a couple years later or maybe it's

a year later something like that he finds himself

driving from dc to richmond for this story I

don't know if it's like an interview or something

like that. But instead of ending up in Richmond,

he winds up in Point Pleasant, West Virginia,

which is about 400 miles away from DC. So like

a six hour ride. And he leaves at one o 'clock

and he gets there at two thirty in the morning.

So he travels a six hour trip in an hour and

a half and He his car breaks down he walks to

this the closest house and it's owned by Will

Patton's character and Stunningly he opens the

door with a gun. It's a shotgun and he says that

this is the third night in a row that John Klein

has showed up at his door and It just boggles

your mind because you can see like the confusion

on Richard Gere's face like he's he's really

great in this part and Obviously he's never been

to this place before that he knows of because

he doesn't drive out there ever, he's from Washington.

But he gets a ride with a local female cop and

starts talking to her and she said like a lot

of strange reports have been coming in from the

locals who she's basically known almost her whole

life and she completely trusts them, she trusts

their word and everything. And so... he starts,

like, his reporting instincts kick in, he starts

interviewing some of these people, and he finds

a connection with the same Mothman creature that

his wife was referring to. People have drawings,

it's like the exact same drawings, the things

they're describing, like, the same thing. So

he ends up forming a friendship with Gordon,

who is Will Patton's character, and weird stuff

continues to happen in the town, especially to

Gordon, and... this John Cline finds himself

like literally on the brink of insanity like

it's driving him nuts the things are happening

happening and he's being taunted by this voice

that calls him on the phone and stuff like that

he has no idea who it is um so he's trying not

to let this like paranoia and insanity overtake

him and the great part about this movie and the

really creepy part is that is based on a true

story of the silver bridge collapse in point

pleasant west virginia in the 1960s and there

were a series of strange sightings of a mothman

type creature in the weeks leading up to that

tragedy it's well documented you can google it

and there's tons of eyewitness accounts and everything

and it's that's creepy in and of itself just

like googling and reading that stuff but um like

i said this it's a great thriller it Literally

will keep your undivided attention the entire

time like you will be on the edge of your seat

wanting to know what happens and I really love

this movie like this one Combined with my other

top two. I had really trouble Really troubled

time trying to order them and everything because

I really love this movie But would highly recommend

it especially if you're into like the creepy

thriller type movies All right You know, it's

pretty effective when someone has to leave the

room and not talk about it So, how do we get

them back now? Done we are done Greg. You're

safe. Thanks. Anyways, Kirk. You were saying

about Mothman. No, I'm just joking. I'm just

joking All right, so going next on my last work

actually kind of moving here pretty quickly we're

already down to number two and this one actually

moved back and forth with The last one because

I wasn't sure but this one also has a big Star

Wars connection I don't know if you guys know

this but did you know that the the climax in

Star Wars the original New Hope was actually

based upon a real -life battle in World War two

No, they had dogfight scenes were based off of

movies from that that war like war movies of

that time Yeah, I actually won specifically a

great deal and a tie fighters back. It was weird.

They did and Darth Vader. It was weird. And yeah,

and a guy named Holland from Germany who shot

first. But anyways, but yeah, the it's actually

based upon this mission and this movie that I'm

talking about was based was about that mission.

The movie is called The Dan Busters. It's classic

World War Two film. It's from 1950s and it's

about this mission in war war two where there

were these german bridges But they were too strong

the bomb from up top in the air Like just this

is back when our bombs could only go, you know

straight down So bombing them that way was ineffective

and it didn't do any damage. They were too strong

for that But they were weaker on like their front

surface their face surface. So they came up with

this technique there are these bombs that are

called the bouncing bombs. They basically drop

them in the water and then they bounce like a

basketball until finally hitting the bridge.

So I saw a recreation of this on the history

channel It was like a some kind of engineering

show and they actually were like recreating that

scenario with planes and stuff It was really

cool. Yeah, it's it's I mean the mission itself

is rather fascinating and what's like Greg was

mentioning a lot of the dialogue and I honestly

didn't realize it at the time but as they're

talking and they're going through this mission

I'm like a lot of this dialogue feels very familiar

like just the way they're saying the code names

and literally almost word for word it is the

same dialogue in the climax of what we're in

star wars they take a lot of the code names a

lot of the you know red leader blue lead a lot

of that is taken right from this movie like almost

word for word so and again it's based upon that

That real life mission is is one of those uh

people also named porkins It was it was weird

yeah, they had this really fat guy and they always

he would always yeah, I don't know he barely

fit in the plane But he was the bouncing bomb

That's how they made it work. They just he held

on like dr. Dr. Strangelove style I mean the

movie itself is not the I wouldn't call it one

of the best war movies of all time But I just

think that mission itself is rather fascinating

its connection with Star Wars is really really

cool and and this is also streaming on Netflix

and it's like one of those World War two movies

that never gets talked about but it's had a huge

influence obviously on science fiction, so if

you're a Star Wars fan Definitely best advice

checking it out. And if you're a fan of World

War II dramas or World War II films, especially

those like aviation based, it's a must watch.

It centers mostly on how they came up with the

process, the actual climax, the actual mission.

It's probably only like 20 minutes or so, but

it's a really interesting story and how it all

works. Like Chuck, with you being an engineer,

I'm sure you would just enjoy watching that process

and how it came about. Oh, yeah. So that is my

number two. Greg? onto you and i'm assuming your

next one is mothman prophecies is that correct

uh no but it does have something to do with star

wars it's santa claus the movie that has a lot

to do with uh star wars i think and no it's not

the freaking tim allen movie it does not have

an e at the end of santa claus all right it's

not that one it's not as good as that one huh

I think this one is way better than the Tim Allen

one when I think of Santa Claus I think of this

movie Santa Claus and the representation of it

it gives Santa Claus whole kind of backstory

how he kind of got started and then kind of a

situation that he has going during quote -unquote

present -day because it's set back in like the

70s maybe early 80s, but when I think a lot of

that backstory for Santa Claus in the claymation

cartoon i know i but i i love is this the same

canon is this the new 52 of santa claus movies

no it is not this is the ultimate universe this

is what i think the classic uh santa claus is

and this is where i get my representation of

Yes for me at least for me it apparently got

really bad ratings back in the day, but I thought

it was really great It's got the two more known

actors in it I'm not sure if you guys are gonna

know one of them, but it had John with Gao and

Dudley Moore Nice That's a combination. Yeah

Which one played Santa Claus? Neither of them

John with John with Gao played the villain His

acting is a little off at some points. And then

he went on to make Harry and the Hendersons.

And then, well, it kind of goes from extremes,

apparently, because he plays opposite kind of

with Dudley Moore, who's an elf, who kind of

gets into a situation where he kind of takes

on a leadership role for Santa Claus and immediately

kind of has something bad happen and so he kind

of walks away even though nobody's really told

them that they all hate him he just thinks they

do so he kind of goes to New York City and tries

to do good by those guys and try and get back

in their good graces by doing something good

on his own and unfortunately he kind of gets

with John Lithgow in a whole business proposition

and John Lithgow is trying to take advantage

of them. And there's this whole thing with Santa

Claus is trying to find them. But in the meantime,

he finds these two kids that have found each

other. It's a kid kind of romantic relationship.

They're kind of interested in each other and

maybe like in a couple years they'd start to

date but the one's a homeless boy and the girl

kind of finds him and it's very good -hearted

and takes care of him and Santa Claus notices

that and he kind of hangs out with these two

kids. So it's a lot of fun. There's kind of a

little bit of a Willy Wonka element to it which

if you watch you'll definitely... pick up on.

I think this was done after Willy Wonka, but

it's one of my favorite classic holiday movies,

which is very hard to find on DVD, I believe.

I haven't really seen it. I have a VHS tape here

that is like really, really bad. I think I found

it on Netflix at one point. So if you're going

to see it, I'd recommend finding it on Netflix.

I think it's on there, pretty sure. So is it

like a comedy or is it more of a straight drama

or oh No, it's it's definitely got some comedy

in there because it's got Dudley Moore there's

a little bit of singing with the elves and they're

kind of like chipper people for the most part,

but uh It's it's got John Lithgow and Dudley

Moore. So, of course, there's a little bit of

humor to it Awesome. All right, Chuck on to you.

What is your number two? Number two for me. I'm

pretty sure you guys haven't heard of this one

But I could be wrong and this also is the only

movie on my list that is on Netflix so but that's

okay because if you only see this movie out of

my list and I Would be a happy guy because this

is a very very riveting movie and you will definitely

walk away satisfied. This is from 1996 it's called

the ghost and the darkness You listen while I

talk because you got a question needs answering

Will I pull this trigger? You don't know all

that has happened. Yeah, we will pull the trigger

Abdullah the devil has come to Savo Oh, you're

right. The devil has come to Savo look at me

I am the devil Never heard of it Am I know I've

not seen it. I am surprised and you have not

heard of most of the movies tonight here. I know

Stomping the Swami here. Yeah, I know. He's the

biggest movie guy out of the I've heard of go

to the ocean darkness. I just not I have not

seen it Well, it's got two pretty good actors

and it's got Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas And

it's set in 1898 Africa John Patterson, who is

played by Val Kilmer, is a civil engineer. So

I have some ties to this movie. He's a civil

engineer for the British Army and he sent to

Africa to build a huge railroad bridge. It was

around the time that they're really expanding

the railroads over there and he gets to the camp

and there's all this hysteria about Lions that

keep attacking their camp and they kind of kill

some of the workers one by one They drag them

off into the wilderness and they they find their

like mauled bodies and everything and Usually

not much left to them and stuff like that. So

everybody in this Workers camp is kind of freaked

out Val Kilmer comes in and on his first day

there He shoots a lion And he earns, like, everyone's

respect immediately for this because, you know,

first day there, he marches in, he takes care

of the problem. Like, that's exactly what they

sent him to do, like to get the bridge done,

no matter what it takes. The only problem is

it was the wrong lion. A couple of weeks later,

the camp was attacked again. And over the course

of a couple of months, as they try to... hunt

these lions and kill them unsuccessfully, about

30 of his men are killed. And the railroad company

finally brings in a famous hunter by the name

of Charles Remington, of Remington Firearms.

And he is played by Michael Douglas. Hank Pym?

Yeah. Ant -Man, you know, trying to fight a lion.

So. The lions are still continuing to kill men

in the camp. They're still unsuccessful in their

hunts. And finally, it gets to the point where

the workers have just had enough. They jump on

the train, they head back the other direction

on the tracks. And Patterson, with the help of

his personal aide and Charles Remington, have

to kill these two lions that have been terrorizing

the camp if the workers are ever to come back

and finish this railroad bridge. This is based

on a true story also if you Google man -eaters

of Savo Savo is TSAVO And don't forget to put

that in as well. You have some different results

if you forget that part For sure, but yeah, if

you Google that there's a lot of material on

these attacks It's it's pretty well documented

and it's believed that over the course of the

whole encounter about 130 men were killed by

these lions and they claim that somehow the lions

killed one or two in the beginning by accident

or something and they just got a taste for human

blood and they just craved it it's very rare

but it's been known to happen from time to time

in history like certain cats get a taste for

humans and they're labeled a man eater but this

movie is absolutely incredible I mean the acting

spectacular it's really great drama it's got

super intense and suspenseful action scenes i

mean some of the some of the ways that people

get attacked by lions and like they're just dragged

off it's like terrifying super super suspenseful

and it really doesn't matter what type of movies

you're into i'm pretty sure a walk away from

this one satisfied for sure i would definitely

recommend the ghost and the darkness um and actually

a fun fact Lot of the people in the camp and

some of the locals that lived in that area believed

that the lions weren't real that they were just

kind of a Like a spirit or a failure fairy tale

or something. So They named the two lions the

ghost and the darkness. So that's where the name

of the movie comes from Interesting. I have not

yet. That's actually been A movie like recommended

for me from netflix. It's like you should watch

this you should watch this and I have not so

apparently they know what they're talking about

netflix I'll do what I want. You tell me what

to do. I had a hard time not putting this one

number one This this movie is awesome. I cannot

say enough good things about it. So maybe with

tomorrow Being off maybe we'll check that movie

out and let you know what I think of it next

week. So very cool All right. So actually i'm

on the last one I mentioned earlier that I'm

a big fan of crime, but like I mentioned, I actually

like the crime genre. And I feel like this is

gonna be probably my biggest movie snob pick.

I try to mix my list up of films that are kind

of all over a different spectrum. and this one

is a french film so i know that probably cuts

out a lot of people but it's a movie that i think

a lot of people don't have haven't really talked

about even people that i know that are really

into like foreign films and this type of film

like it's i kind of came and went and for american

audiences even like the award and stuff like

that no one's really talked about it and it's

a movie called police and it's spelled p o l

i s s e and the way i describe it it's kind of

like if you've seen law and order svu That focuses

on like child crime and sexual assault these

detectives do the same thing, but it's a they're

French detectives But it's done with like the

sensibilities of the wire It's something I really

enjoy and it's a ghost of these different characters

and just the mental torment it they face the

fact that they have to deal with these really

hard cases of kids getting kids getting abused

and how often they're in situations where they

can tell something bad is happening, but they're

powerless to really do anything about it a journalist

comes and kind of Starts interviewing all these

different people and it's really interesting

to like what I think about foreign films at times

is that you kind of get a window into what another

country looks like and how they handle things

and It's good in that aspect too, but it's just

it is a very devastating movie It is a tough

watch just because of this obviously the subject

matter, but I really think it's a brilliant movie

It's one of the like I was completely moved by

it. It was I think beautifully shot well acted

Real gem that no one is at all talking about

and really came and went like I mentioned it

made my top ten that year I think it 2012 that

was Number nine or so on my list and like I mentioned

no one's really talking about it. So I really

wanted to mention it again It's not for everyone

if you're not in the serious drama or you hate

subtitles Probably gonna have to skip it. It

is currently available. I have to read you do

I know Who does that? I know. People hate it

for the entire movie. They speak an entire different

language in France. Those jerks. But it's available

on Netflix. So if, like I said, if you like crime,

if the idea of seeing the storylines of SVU done

with a more like subtle approach, I would say

check it out. But make sure you have like a teddy

bear or something very pleasant to go to afterwards

because you will feel very down after it. So

that's my number one police. All right, so Greg

your moment of truth, what is last on your list?

It's one of my Favorite movies from back in the

day. I don't think I'm not sure many people have

heard of it or not It here's a little fun fact.

It was You guys are gonna love this fun fact.

It was the first movie time That is first time

I've seen a pair of boobs was from this movie

So that's what started it This is the movie that

started it all, people. Is it Damn This Movie?

Is it that movie Heavyweights? No, it was not

the movie Heavyweights. I do enjoy that movie.

It stars Michael J. Fox. It's called Doc Hollywood.

I have not seen it. Wow. Oh, it's so good. If

you love Michael J. Fox, this is definitely a

great movie to check out. I thought you were

going to say if you love boobs. Well, if you

do love those as well, it's definitely a great

movie to check out. She's definitely showing

them off. Some Michael J. Fox boobs? No, not

Michael J. Fox boobs. He wakes up in the morning

and he kind of dreams of this lady coming out

of a lake. And then he kind of wakes up and then

he goes over to the lake that was pictured in

his dream, and the lady comes out exactly like

the dream, all shirtless, water flying down her.

It was awesome. So yeah, it's Michael J. Fox.

He's going to be a plastic surgeon. He's got

to go out to the West Coast to get a plastic

surgery job. He's got an interview at a hospital

that he really wants to get in. So he's driving

his way out to California. He gets a little lost,

has an accident, and he kind of gets stuck in

this town because they have an older doctor there

that they think is going to die soon, so they

all kind of try and make him stay by setting

up kind of phony things like he's... He of course

gets pulled in by the police for hazardous driving

and his car is down for a long time with the

mechanics because they can't find the parts that

he needs. He has to do community service so they

kind of set him up at the hospital and everything.

So in the meantime they're trying to get him

to stay but all he wants to do is go out west.

but then he kind of falls in love with the ambulance

driver who has a very male name but she is definitely

not male in any way possible and that is Lou

played by Julie Warner and so they kind of go

out on dates and he's trying to convince her

that he's good and that she should come with

him to California but she wants to stay with

her kid where they're at and eventually he gets

out of there and I'll leave the rest up to you

guys to watch to see if he stays or if he comes

back or not but another fun cast member I believe

this is an early I'm not sure if it was one of

his first or not but it's also got Woody Harrelson

as kind of a support role it's also got Bridget

Ponda as well so it's a great cast it's got the

One of the doctors from MASH as well, his name

is not coming to me at the moment. Helen Alda.

No, not Helen Alda. He's the one that played

Charles Winchester, the third. Oh, I don't know.

And I just found out, I brought up the Wikipedia

page. Apparently there's a thing about the movie

Cars. Apparently some people think that the movie

Cars has plagiarized this movie. Well, I can

see that. Yeah, so it's kind of interesting and

apparently This one did really well as opposed

to the Santa Claus the movie. This one did really

well It's got a 74 Excuse me 74 percent approval

rating on rotten tomatoes and out of the budget

of 17 million made pretty close to 55 million

box office Okay. Wow, that's pretty impressive

Yeah, and it came out August 2nd, 1991. I had

really checked that one out. That's one of my

favorites. It was actually, I thought of this

one because it was actually on TV and my mom

was watching it and I haven't seen it in forever.

And it's not a really well -known Michael J.

Fox film, but he is, of course, awesome as always.

All right. Chuck I'm you've loved your number

two. So I'm really wondering how great your number

one is So what is last on your list? Well, this

one is like I mentioned it was a really tough

decision between my one and two I could probably

switch it next week if I redid this but this

is a martial arts movie, which I'm a big fan

of fighting movies not so much like the older

like samurai films or stuff like that that you've

talked about Dan, but More like the modern fighting

movies and even like some of the ones in the

80s and stuff But this is from 2006 a little

bit newer. It's called undisputed to last man

standing Anybody heard of that? I have I've not

seen it, but we've talked about this movie a

few times off air Yeah, I think I recommend it

to you even because I know you like some martial

arts movies now and then basically it's martial

arts movie with one of the best in the business

and that's Scott Atkins who has done tons of

martial arts films both as an actor and a stunt

man One thing you might know him off top your

head was uh, he was weapon 11 in x -men origins

wolverine, which I wouldn't share with too many

people But that's the guy crazy martial artist

with ridiculous moves in real life So like a

lot of these stunts for the film were done by

him He didn't have a stand -in. He's a really,

really impressive martial artist. I've watched

some YouTube videos of him in other movies and

some behind -the -scenes things, like when he's

doing fight choreography and stuff, and this

guy is incredible. It also has Michael J. White,

who was Black Dynamite, of course. He was in

some other stuff, too. He actually was in the

Arrow TV show he played, The Bronze Tiger. But

he's absolutely jacked in this movie. This guy

is massive. And he plays a U .S. boxing champion

named George Chambers. It's the same name because

I mentioned this is Undisputed 2. There is a

first one that stars Ving Rhames and Wesley Snipes,

but to me it's not nearly as good. The sequel

actually is better, much better than the first

one in my opinion. But he has the same name as

the boxer in the first movie, but different actor.

Ving Rhames played it in the first movie, but

basically this boxer goes to Russia to film a

commercial and he's framed for drug possession

and thrown in an extremely tough and violent

Russian prison. And there's an underground fighting

league within this prison organized by the warden

and the Russian mafia. So like there's a lot

of money being transferred back and forth every

week for the betting on some of these films and

Adkins plays Yuri Boyka who is this tough as

nails fighter and he wins every single fight

like super easily and because he wins every fight

the warden is losing a lot of money so he needs

to bring in chambers to actually give him a challenge

since he's a heavyweight boxing champion um he

thinks maybe that he can hang with him so leading

up to the climax of the movie, which is, of course,

the fight. There's two fights in the movie between

them. But along the way, it's a tale of two very

large egos just trying to intimidate each other.

But it's not annoying. It keeps you fascinated.

And you'll find yourself cheering for Michael

J. White's character, George Chambers, pretty

early on in the movie. If you like fighting movies

or martial art movies or anything like you have

to watch this. The fighting is spectacular. It

gets a little bit over the top at a select few

moments, but I think it's like tastefully done.

The choreography is amazing and it's just a pleasure

watching the sheer talent of these guys and especially

Scott Adkins. It's just not enough good things

I could say about it like like my other ones,

but this is very good movie, highly recommended.

I think they made a third one too, didn't they?

Am I crazy? Yes, they did. And Scott Atkins reprises

his role as Boika. And that one's pretty good

as well, too. I think I like two a little bit

better. But three is very good as well. And it's

definitely better than the first one. Is it better

than Spawn? Michael Jai White's also classic

film from the 90s. Oh, yes. It is much better

than Spawn. I'm not a big Spawn fan at all, but.

That movie is pretty awful, so. Yeah. You'll

be doing yourself a favor by not seeing it. But

yeah, again, I need to I need to check that out.

And you said that's that's not available streaming

or anything like that. No, I don't think it's

available on Netflix. I checked today, but I

think it is. It's available on like YouTube if

you pay like two or three dollars or whatever

it is. Or, you know, maybe it's on like Amazon

or something like that. But OK, interesting.

I actually got the DVD from. Close I'd say the

blockbuster so I was lucky enough to find out

when they existed. Yeah Have you ever seen speaking

martial arts films? Have you ever seen the the

Raider? No, I've not seen that. Okay I got to

show you that because I think if you're a fan

of martial arts or action movies That is a pretty

pretty well made one. So nice the sequel came

out this year, too Which I thought it's a little

bit different. I don't think it's as good, but

it's still still really well made Cool, but I

think we maybe just go around and Go down our

top fires real quick. We don't just say much

about them. Just just a quick refresher before

we Get into our final segment So my number five

was attack the block and then big fan and my

number three was the damn buster i'm sorry My

number three was grabbers and my number two was

the damn busters and my last one was police again

spelled P -O -L -I -S -S -E Because that's how

you spell it when you want to be pretentious.

I guess I don't know Greg, do you want to run

down your top five real quick? Sure. Number five

was Cartoon All -Stars, and then number four

was Batteries Not Included. Number three was

Rope. Number two was Santa Claus, Not With A

Knee, The Movie. That's a long title. Number

one was Doc Hollywood, if you want to check out

some Greg's First Boob action. Oh man, I won't

never be able to watch that movie and not feel

a little bit creeped out. All right, Chuck, your

top five. My top five was An Unfinished Life.

Number four was The Cowboys. Three was Mothman

Prophecies, Greg's favorite. Number two was The

Ghost and The Darkness. And number one was Undisputed

to Last Man Standing. Alright, did you guys have

any other ones that like you are dimensions or

anything like that? Anything that didn't quite

make your list I had one but I'm not sure if

people have seen this or not, but it's called

identity Yes, Ray Leota and John Cusack. I do

like that movie a great deal. Yeah, that's a

really really cool movie If you have not seen

that I would definitely check that out. It's

kind of a thriller type movie too. Really cool

Had a few I one called steak land that's currently

on streaming. Is it about steak? No, it's about

Stake land as in vampire steak. It's like a dystopian

future ruled by vampires. It's actually really

pretty cool I would highly recommend that I also

had a movie called sleepless night, which is

again. It's a French action film though. It's

kind of like Some people said it was something

like diehard because it's basically about this

guy who stuck in this building and a lot of great

action scenes Highly recommend that and the last

one I had was one called actually had two more

one was boy a which is a British film starring

spider -man Andrew Garfield It's a drama. He

was about him as a child. He basically was put

in jail and he's coming out and kind of gets

into his transition from from that. And lastly,

Four Lions, which is a very this is like you

want a dark comedy. You can't get much darker

than that of Four Lions. And it's a movie that's

not afraid to offend people because it's basically

a comedy about these terrorists in a way. It's

very well made. And I think that is too available

on streaming. I'm not 100 % certain. It was a

few weeks ago, but, you know, things come off

of Netflix real quickly, so. And last week, we

did not do an episode of Unknown, but we are

bringing it back for this week. All right. And

this week we have Unknown episode three, Meat

Puppet. A meat packing plant somewhere in the

middle of the city known as Harkness. A team

of men and women in white coats packing meat

in a large cooler with multiple slabs on hooks.

So then she dumps a beer on me in front of everybody.

Dude, you were totally right to call her a bitch.

Hey, pass down another pork shoulder and could

you guys give it a damn rest? I tell you, I should

have called her worse. I tell ya, I shoulda called

her worse, if I knew she was gonna dump a whole

beer on me. Waste of a good beer, if you ask

me. Shoulda doused you with acid, if you ask

me. What the hell is that? What the fuck, man?

The commotion leads to a panic among the workers,

who all scatter and leave, all except one. Dawn

of the Dead? Nice to meet you. Did you miss me?

Not on the least. I'm trying to move on with

my life. Trying to find a way to make up for

my mistakes. Seems to be an odd way to make up

for it. Slicing up meat to be put in a bag? Sounds

like your old job if you ask me. This is just

to get some money saved up so I can feed myself.

I haven't thought of a plan to make up for my

sins. Well then you should be very glad to see

me. Very glad indeed. You see, you don't need

a plan because I have it. Oh? What would that

be? It's a plan that makes greater use of your

skills than butchering meat that has already

suffered enough. No, no, no, no. You need to

use those skills to make those who need punishment.

Suffer. What does that even mean? For someone

with legs, you are rather slow, did you know

that? It is quite simple, really. You kill those

that deserve it. Maybe one of your ilk killer.

Maybe a rapist. Or anyone that preys on the weak.

It would save the innocent like the police. Save

them from having to perform the nasty deeds themselves.

And keep them away from a fate for yours. So,

that's it? Oh, no no no no! You see, you don't

have to outright slaughter. You can ask them

questions before you do the deed. You see, these

people would have been your co -workers. They

would know who you are. I would be a modern -day

Sisyphus. I suppose so. You know, sometimes the

old ways are the best ways. Trust me, I should

know! Sin has been a struggle for all mankind.

Why shouldn't you struggle with it as well? I

don't know. All that murder though? You're already

stained in blood. I don't know what else a few

more flecks matter. What do you get out of this?

giving me this plan of death and destruction.

Why would you think that? Just because we have

met not that long ago and that this is the second

time we have talked? Oh, you could read me so

well. You may not know this, but it's lonely

being a ghost. Most usually hang out in dark

old houses. I'm looking for friends is all. Seriously?

No, of course not! Well, half of it's true. It's

lonely and things do get rather boring. But you,

you could be rather interesting. Like you said,

you're a damn Greek tragedy. I won't be your

puppet. I refuse. Garrett Wright. might be able

to convince you otherwise. Well, we hope you

enjoyed episode 3 of unknown meat puppet, which

sounds delicious and fun to play with so Alright

anything before we bring this episode to a close

Hopefully I'll get that person on Skype to talk

to me. I'll try a couple more times this week

It doesn't work out. I think we'll give up on

that person Maybe the only person in the world

that is trying to get hooked up with this game

They're the only one that won't talk to you.

They'll be the only person that gets blocked

by that person. All right, well there's a lot

of ways to get in contact with us. If you have

movies that you feel like people need to see,

us included, you can contact us by Sending us

email at feedback at geocastradio .com. You can

comment on the episode post at geocastradio We're

also on Facebook and Twitter if you search talking

in circles. I'm also on Twitter at movie revolt

But I think that's pretty much it So that'll

bring us to the end of this week's episode We've

kind of had an unknowns and Star Wars theme kind

of going through it interesting But we hope you

join us next week same time same channel same

podcast read but for now This has been Chuck.

This has been Greg or Julie Warner's boobs And

this has been Dan being creeped out and talking

in circles. We'll see you next week Her boobs

are magnificent though, Dan. I highly recommend

you check out those boobs. Those were your first,

Albrecht. Yes, those were my first, yes. You

couldn't stand up for a week. Nope, couldn't.

I'm pretty sure Michael J. Fox woke up with morning

wood because he takes his blanket with him and

kind of covers himself with it. and then she's

like jumps out of the water naked and she's like

you want to hand me a towel or something and

like he's very hesitant to enter the blanket

that he has on of who you are. I would be like

a modern day pussyfoot.
