Listen, I am two seconds away from calling the police. We're in Portland. There is no police. What do you want? Why? To finish more movie quotes of course. Who's there? Number nine from Zach. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Yes. Oh, my gosh. Monty Python. The Holy Grail. Yeah. I'm not even a huge Monty Python fan, but there. This is Monty Python because they're essentially a sketch comedy troupe. The movies are, like eight hours long. And buried in the eight hours of the movie are, like 15 really great minutes. And this is one of the 15 really great minutes. Stop. What is your name? It is Arthur, King of the Britons. What is your quest? It is your quest to seek the Holy Grail. What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? What do you mean an African or European swallow? Yeah. And then he goes flying into the ravine. That is the second time that question is asked. The first time somebody ends up in the ravine. That's not that. The gatekeeper. Okay. They've done studies, you know. Blank percent of the time, it works every time. I don't know. What is this one? This will be Anchorman. Oh, so I'm not an anchorman guy. Okay. It's quite pungent. Oh, yeah. It's a formidable scent. Stings the nostrils in a good way. Yeah. Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you. That smells like pure gasoline. They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works every time. That doesn't make sense. Sex Panther made with real panther bits. I'm not sure. Okay, here's heresy. I'm not sure I've ever seen Anchorman all the way through. Oh, heresy. Yeah. That's why I don't get that quote. Because I'm not an anchorman guy. I'm not really a Will Ferrell guy. You probably know it's a glass case of emotion. The glass case of emotion I 100% know and have quoted at. Like again. Yes. Well, when My son, my 9 year old, when he, like, loses his ever loving, when he really starts going off, I'll be like, I'm in a glass cage of emotion. I like that laugh. Wow. I'm gonna use that. And he starts laughing. Yeah. What's next? What's next? Oh, this you, Phil, right? Yeah. All right, here's the next one. They call it a Blank with cheese. I know you hate this movie. They call it a Blank with cheese. I don't know. What is it? All right, let's play it. And you know what they call? Yes? A Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Yeah. They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Oh, man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the. A Quarter Pounder is. And what do they call it? They call it Royale with Cheese Royal. Yeah. Or Cheese. All right, again, this is my problem with Tarantino. Like, I like dialogue. That has a point. Hello. Hello. Tarantino has a better ratio than Monty Python. But I always feel like in. In his movies, there's such great bits buried in his movies. But the. But the movies are just overlooked. That's why I like Reservoir Dogs, which is really tight. I. I have a rule. I've talked to you guys about this before. I really like movies that set their constraints beforehand. And the thing about Reservoir Dogs is he's like, okay, I need to make a movie that's in a warehouse with basically four guys and no budget. And I think that's, like, best. Quentin Tarantino, I think when he has actual restrictions put on him, he's better. All right, number 12, you have the voice of an angel. Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and blank. I should know this one. Also, Like, I should have gotten a Quarter Pounder of cheese. I'm kind of pissed at myself. I didn't get that. Royale with Cheese Royale. Yeah. What's it. Okay, what is this one? This is. Roll the clip. All right, you got it? Yeah. Again, I'm not just some guy. Brennan. That is the voice of an angel. Brennan, I can't even make eye contact with you right now. Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus. Why can't you do that in front of people? It's because you're Orthodox. You can't have burgers and cheese. Yeah, exactly. Now, Jewish rapscallion. I mean, you're noticing. You're noticing a commonality here, right? I mean, like, two of the three movies I missed are Will Ferrell movie. Will Ferrell's not. He's not my guy. He's just not. No, you do not do this. You do not. Sorry. You like John C. Reilly, though? John C. Reilly I do like. But I like John C. Reilly in serious Parts. You don't like Walk Hard? The Dewey Cox story? Sherlock's Holmes was terrible. Yeah, it was. That was bad.

I don't know what this is. All right. It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark and we are wearing blank sunglasses. Yep. Yeah. This is Blue Brothers, right? Yep. It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it. Yeah. The Aretha Franklin scene is the great scene from this. Oh, shut up, woman. You better think. And Carrie Fisher. Yeah. Making a great appearance in this film. Big explosion. That movie, by the way, is so like. It's one of those movies that is very, very famous. And then when you try to watch it, it is so slow. I don't know if you've watched this movie recently. The first 15 minutes is death. I mean, really bad. You have tick tock brain. Ben takes them like 10 minutes to walk out of the prison. They. They take like every step out of the prison. It's so slow. Anyway, go ahead. I cannot jump the distance. You'll have to. What? You'll know. Speaking of slow, let me try again. I'll. I'll slow down. I cannot jump the distance. You'll have to. You'll have to toss me. Yes, toss me. Yeah. This movie takes Way too long to get started. Ben. Don't. Don't. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Be quiet now. Don't tear the earth. Don't tear the earth. That's a long way to me. What? I cannot jump the dish. I shall have to touch me. Don't tell the elf. That still only causes one. One of my kids things that they do. Remember when the giant ladder falls back? Yeah. Yeah. So when the giant ladder falls back, there is one of the orcs who utters some sort of curse that sounds precisely like, what the heck, nephew malefucker. As the ladder's going, what the heck? And once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Wow. Yeah. 15. I'm going to bed before either of you comes up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse. Blank. I mean, I assume this is Harry Potter from the accent, but wow, I don't know the quote. What? Expelled? Expelled? Yeah. These movies are just not heresy. Here we go. You were too old then. You were too old. The movies are not good. I do not like the movies. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse. Expelled. Expelled. She needs to sort out her priorities. Come on, Ben. Yeah. No, not my jam. Not my jam. Also. Also, too. Child actors, they can be like spice in a stew. If. If the main stew is the child actors, you got a problem. Also. Also, I. I don't like the fact that you basically have to cut around child act. Like, the number of truly great child childhood performances. Extremely limited. Christian Bale. ET Guy. Yes. Yeah. Haley Joel Osman is fine. Christian Bill And Empire. Sun is terrific. Et cetera. Henry Thomas. Henry Thomas and E.T. he was really good. Yeah. Henry Thomas and E.T. is excellent. If you go all the way back. Margaret in Meet Me from Mimi in St. Louis. Margaret O', Brien, who won an Oscar for it. She's terrific. But, like, you can name them on basically one hand. The number of great childhood performances and child actors, that's all done in the editing room. It's like, give me a bunch of reaction shots. Because kids are just. I mean, they're kids. You can't expect that much. Okay, last one. All right. Number 16. You know, I'm something of a blank myself now. I can't. Now I just see the meme. I don't even. Something of a scientist myself. Yeah, that's the. You're quite the scientist. Oh, you know, I'm something of a scientist myself. I'm something Of a blank myself. So my brother in law uses this all the time. Literally every time I see him, he uses this in some different form or fashion. It's literally every single time. And it started off as kind of funny and then it got annoying and then it got funny again. This movie is very quotable. It is the original. It's a good movie. Toby Maguire is my Spider Man. I agree with you. No, I. What? Who's your Spider Man? Spiderman. Help me, Mary Jane. Not again. I mean, I like all of them. If you say Garfield right now, he's a good Spider Man. He's not good at people. Peter Parker. Toby's a good Peter Parker. He's a terrible Spider Man. That's fair. And then Tom Holland I feel like has gotten the best of both, but he doesn't like. I enjoy those movies. Yeah, I enjoy the. The Tom Holland movies. But the only ones that I remember at all in any series, I've seen pretty much all of them. But the only ones that are actually memorable in any serious way are the originals. Go, web. Fly. Well, who's the most accurate to like comic book Spider Man? Oh, Tom Holland, probably. Tom Holland. Yeah, Tom Holland. Like nerdy, skinny. Yeah, for sure. Okay. Also, he's the right age. Yeah. All these other. All these like Tobey Maguire is 40. They're like, he's just a kid and he's like 34. Tobey Maguire was 40 when he made the first Spider man and he's 40 when he made the last Spider man. And there's a lot of gambling in between. Well, did you have fun, Ben? I did. That was. That was enjoyable. I liked that. And I did pretty well. I think I did. I missed two out of the three Will Ferrell movies. I believe. So. Yeah. My Will Ferrell record is not particularly good. Okay, well, that was a lot of fun. If you have other movies that you wish to suggest to my producers to test my movie knowledge, then feel free to let them know. Also, I noticed that because it's my producers and they are youngsters, virtually all of these movies are post 1980. What? Ah, no, Casablanca. Listen, the truth is that you skewed it toward our audience and I appreciate that. And the reality is that if you had gone before 1980, I destroy this game. Bench a PR. Yeah, we'll do a part two with the Jazz singer. Birth of a Nation. You should probably skip Birth of a Nation. It's a little awkward. All right. The many times we've given Ryan Clark by unseen Mabel.
