[Abe Froman]

You can sure as hell try. Hi, I'm Abe Froman, party of three for 12. Is there a problem?

[Brian Green]

You're Abe Frohman.

[Abe Froman]

That's right. I'm Abe Froman, the sausage king of Chicago. Yeah, that's me on this episode of the commercial break.

[Brian Green]

So that's how it is in their family. Every line is quotable. So you're the sausage king of Chicago. Yes, yes. Better. So wing ba da.

[Abe Froman]

The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah. Catholic kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best you, Chris.

[Chris Hoadley]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best you out there in the podcast and the streaming Universe, live on YouTube and on Twitch. Backslash the commercial break. We'll be doing this from now on at least a couple times a week though. We're just testing it right now. So we haven't put anything on Instagram or any of that jazz. But welcome if you're here and you're not. But welcome. We love you. Anyway, yesterday we had started a conversation that got kind of cut off because of a technical issue about a very popular cult classic movie for anybody who grew up in the 80s and probably the 90s too. The never ending Story.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

With Falcor and Atreyu. The. The story that never ends, if you will. That's why they called it the. The Sphinx tits.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

All four of them. My little six year old eyes.

[Chris Hoadley]

And they're like. Remember, they're like frozen or something. They're icy.

[Brian Green]

Well, no, they shoot out lasers.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, they do shoot lasers together.

[Brian Green]

They were crystal. Yes, they were crystal and then they turned into gold and then they went. Literally. I know it was the eyeballs that shot, but I imagine the tits shot because that was a lot cooler for me. It got. It got me a lot more jazzed up.

[Chris Hoadley]

It was the eyes.

[Brian Green]

Three years.

[Chris Hoadley]

I kind of remember the tits too.

[Brian Green]

We all remember the tits. It's the Mandela effect on Never ending story about the tits on the Sphinx, on the whatever those were, those Egyptian sculptures a mile in the sky that's.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like solve the riddle today that they.

[Brian Green]

Put out There I thought it was the fear killer. Like if you've. If you, if you showed fear. Yeah. Then it got to through. That's right.

[Chris Hoadley]

Quickly.

[Brian Green]

So in other words. And this is good, this is a good lesson in life for everybody, especially the young ones. If you show fear, the tits will come to life and destroy you. Just don't show fear. Lasers will shoot out of the eyeballs. You have to be careful, kids. Be careful. Anyway, never ending story. Great movie. We got onto Goonies too. So Chrissy and I thought we'd dedicate an episode to our favorite 80s and 90s movies. Critically accamed cult classic.

[Chris Hoadley]

Very excited.

[Brian Green]

We shall start the debate and the debate shall rage on for at least the next 40 minutes. All right. Okay, you ready? You go. You tell me what I mean. When you. There was this girl on TikTok the other day. I want to share this. This girl on TikTok, beautiful young girl. I'm going to guess she's a 25, 26 years old and she's in her car and she's making a TikTok about. Imagine being born in 1971 or 1972. Now, I'm not that old, but yeah. And she goes, you're born in a generation of great music, great movies, no telephones, no computers. You are no processed, highly processed foods quite yet. You are living in a time like a golden era. And then there was a stitch, which means that another guy was commenting on her. So, like going back and forth and he said, you're right, I was born in that era. And you're absolutely right. And then the 80s, you're a teenager and you're growing up in the hair and the fashion and the music. I wasn't so much about the music in the 80s, but okay, I was.

[Chris Hoadley]

A teen in the 90s.

[Brian Green]

I was a teen in the 90 s. Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

But of course you remember the 80s movies because that's what you were growing up on.

[Brian Green]

Well, yeah. You wanted to be a big kid.

[Chris Hoadley]

You couldn't go out, you know, you weren't going out with your friends.

[Brian Green]

No.

[Chris Hoadley]

So you were inside watching the tv.

[Brian Green]

Yes. And it was okay to watch rated R movies because HBO would let you do that and your parents didn't care. They largely left us to raise ourselves. Now I'm helicoptering everything because the world, I think, is a lot more. It's faster and more dangerous. I don't need my kids seeing hardcore porn at age 2. You know what I'm saying?

[Chris Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

So. But back then it was just a squiggly tit on Cinemax in the middle of the night. But this girl was making a great point. Is that there really is kind of this golden era of 70s, 80s, 90s. And maybe I think after, I think after 2001, this is a different world. You know what I'm saying? But the movies back then seemed to be so much better than they are today. Classic Twisters 2 is not a classic. Twisters with an S is not a classic. I debate anybody on this. Okay, go. What's your first. How about I fix this terrible squeal in the microphone?

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, I mean, my first one that came to mind was Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[Brian Green]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Ferris Bueller's Day off is one of the greatest, it really is. Movies ever made. John Hughes made that movie, Chicago based. All the action takes place in Chicago. It is every kid's dream to skip once you get in certainly middle school, high school, to skip school and go on a great adventure. But likely if you ever skip school, well, now you can get arrested for like terrorism for skipping school. But.

[Chris Hoadley]

And your parents know because they're tracking you.

[Brian Green]

That's right. They're tracking you.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. So, yeah, anyways, it is the dream. And that kind of takes me back to the Neverending Story too. And Goonies. It's almost like you put yourself as a kid into these situations and you're like, I would love to do that.

[Brian Green]

What a great.

[Chris Hoadley]

I want to go find treasure. Find a pirate ship's treasure like the Goonies do. Save their parents house.

[Brian Green]

I want to go look at sphinx tits.

[Chris Hoadley]

I want to go look at sphinx tits, be in a, you know, a library, upstairs in an attic and saw, you know. Help save the world.

[Brian Green]

Fly Falkor around the sky.

[Chris Hoadley]

Exactly. Fly a dog dragon around. And then Ferris Bueller. Once again, you want to be that kid.

[Brian Green]

This is the adult version.

[Chris Hoadley]

Would you like to give daddy a kiss?

[Brian Green]

So that's how it is in their family. Every line is quotable. It is. So you're the sausage king of Chicago. Yes, yes. So Wing Bada. Every line quotable in that movie, John Hughes is roll her old bones in here. Go ahead and roll her old bones down in here.

[Chris Hoadley]

Show me that Deadpool.

[Brian Green]

Oh, man, you sound like Dirty Harry just then with your bad back. You shouldn't be throwing anybody. He's quite a little do. That's the great. It's the greatest movie. I have to agree with you. There's no, there's no dissenting on this one. If you've Seen Ferris Bueller's Day off. And listen, I wear my Save Ferris shirt around. I've had it for about 25 years. That save Ferris, which we used to be the name of a band, but I bought it because of course Save Ferris is what is all around the town, plastered around all of Chicago. Save Ferris. I heard he needs a new lung.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Ferris fakes that he's sick and then everybody's putting donations for him to get better.

[Brian Green]

Just the lengths he will go to to elude his parents. The smoothness. Ferris Bueller is the ultimate cool kid and. But he seemed attainable, not like, you know, the quarterback of the high school football team. This guy was attainable and everybody liked him. He was just one of those guys no one plays. No one could ever play that role like Matthew Broderick played it in that moment. And every other casting is spot on.

[Chris Hoadley]

Jennifer Gray, his sister. And that was before Dirty Dancing.

[Brian Green]

Charl.

[Chris Hoadley]

Charlie Sheen is the dirtbag boyfriend that she meets at the police station.

[Brian Green]

He is. He is the dirtbag boyfriend. And rumor has it, and I think this might have been dispelled, but rumor has it, and I like to think the rumor is true, that Charlie Sheen stayed up for two and a half days to make himself look like he had stayed up for two and a half days.

[Chris Hoadley]

I believe that.

[Brian Green]

And it's just from beginning to end. The music.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Oh, Sloan. Oh, every.

[Chris Hoadley]

Fast cars.

[Brian Green]

Fast cars. Fast.

[Chris Hoadley]

Cameron's fast car.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. This is the ultimate wet dream of any high schoolers to have an adventure like this. But if you've ever skipped school, you know, the adventure usually is like hiding in someone's basement smoking bad weed. Right. That's probably the extent of your adventure. Or maybe driving around for the entire time.

[Chris Hoadley]

Think about what all they do. They leave. So they go to. Well, they go do the. The restaurant where they act like this.

[Brian Green]

They go to the restaurant. Sauces can of Chicago. Abe Fro. Abe Frohman, the sausage king. Check.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Well, first of all, they. They take out Cameron. So it's the three of them. And I like that. It's like the three years.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sloan, it's Cameron. It's Ferris.

[Chris Hoadley]

Uhhuh.

[Brian Green]

They all get together. They take out Cameron's dad's beautiful. What is that, like a Lamborghini or something?

[Chris Hoadley]

60S Camaro or something? I don't know what it is. Yeah, Convertible, red.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Somebody was driving that car around on Instagram the other day. Like the exact same. The replica. It's like it's a $2 million car or something like that. But they actually trashed one of those cars for the movie. Got it in one shot. They actually trashed one of those cars.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, because they have to put it out the window in the back.

[Brian Green]

They do. You can't fake that one. You just got to throw it out the window. But so then they all go. They go to the restaurant, they park downtown. They go to the restaurant, they go to the museum.

[Chris Hoadley]

Beautiful baseball game. They go to the stock exchange.

[Brian Green]

They go to the stock exchange. And then they end up at the parade, a real parade, by the way, they were not allowed to film at. And all the camera crew goes down there and it starts getting a little hairy because everybody realizes that John Hughes is now filming a movie down at this parade. Well, the scene where he gets up and he sings, all of a sudden.

[Chris Hoadley]

They'Re like, where's Ferris? Where's Ferris? And all of a sudden he's on a float.

[Brian Green]

Shake it up, baby.

[Chris Hoadley]

He's on a float and he comes out as the main guy singing.

[Brian Green]

Singing the Beatles. Shake it up, baby.

[Chris Hoadley]

Now, this is everybody, like filming on their. The steps, doing in tandem dance.

[Brian Green]

Those dances. Those dances were choreographed. However, it's fantastic. What's improv is Matthew Broderick on that float? And this is so. This is like.

[Chris Hoadley]

This is just a universe excited, thinking.

[Brian Green]

About kissing this movie. John Hughes had an epic run. He is one of the greatest directors of all times. Where is he? When is he ever going to direct another movie? I don't know.

[Chris Hoadley]

I think he died.

[Brian Green]

John Hughes died?

[Chris Hoadley]

I think so.

[Brian Green]

Did he? You heard it here last.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

I thought John Hughes was still alive. I. Oh, no, I think you're right. He died in 2009. Yeah, just a short 18 years ago.

[Chris Hoadley]

That was a big tribute to him.

[Brian Green]

Brian, what are you thinking anyway?

[Chris Hoadley]

Where is he? When is he.

[Brian Green]

Where is he? What is he going to do another goddamn movie? Well, he's up in the goddamn sky with that goddamn guy named God. All right, okay, I'm sorry. I apologize to all the John Hughes fans out there. I wasn't up to date. But all the great movies.

[Chris Hoadley]

He died too young, though. I do.

[Brian Green]

Oh, for sure. Well, he stopped making movies. He just stopped making movies. And I. No one captured teenage life like John Hughes did.

[Chris Hoadley]

Very true.

[Brian Green]

And that's why it connected on so many levels. Not only with teenagers, but with people who are going to become teenagers like us and people who had been teenagers like our parents. Because John Hughes nailed it. He nailed the angst, he nailed the verbiage. He nailed the pop culture.

[Chris Hoadley]

He nailed it in pink.

[Brian Green]

Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club, Home Alone.

[Chris Hoadley]

All these. So many.

[Greenlight Sponsor Voice]

The.

[Brian Green]

What was that movie? Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, yeah. Sixteen Candles.

[Brian Green]

Sixteen Candles. All of it. It's so. He's so good at what he does. And what is the common denominator in all of his movies? Teenaging Chicago and Chicago.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's right.

[Brian Green]

That's right. Chicago is the common denominator. He was lifelong lover and liver in Chicago, and he made Chicago essentially the. Another actor in the movie, another character. And he did such a great job of it. One of my favorite scenes in any movie ever is not only the Wrigley scene where they are at the baseball game, the Ferris Bueller's Day off, but when Ed, the principal. When Ed goes to the pizza joint and he thinks he sees Ferris and it's just a girl in Ferris coat.

[Chris Hoadley]

It is at the arcade.

[Brian Green]

It's a pizza joint with an arcade.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

She turns around, she spits the Coke on him and she. He goes, your ass is mine. She turns around, spits a Coke. He's wiping it off. He's staring at the guy behind the counter. There's a Cub game on. And he goes, what's the score? The guy goes, 0, 0. He goes, who's winning? And he goes, the Bears. So now. So now for the entirety of my life, when everybody, Anybody says, who's winning? I say, the Bears. The Bears. All right, Chrissy, that's a big one. You get. You had a big one. I will share with you that one of my favorite movies that might be considered in a similar ilk, but a different director and a different topic is the Blues Brothers. Ooh. The Blues Brothers came out in 1980. 80. And it is a. I don't think there's a movie that does a better job of mixing entertainment, comedy and music in the 1980s than the blues Brothers. Some of the greatest blues songs ever written, I mean, you have gotten some. It's a heavyweight list of musicians that make their way into that movie, but they do it organically in. I mean, it's all ridiculous, right? But it's in a way where you're enjoying yourself and it doesn't seem like Blues Brothers 2, 3 and 4, where they're just fitting famous, you know, famous musicians in to sing a lick. This had who? I mean, first of all, the Blues Brothers in and of themselves were a great band. They were a great band. Those two guys, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, put together one of the better blues ensembles of all time by putting real blues musicians behind them and singing classic blues songs are their take on classic blues songs. The. It's another adventure movie. You know, Jake gets out of jail, his brother Elwood picks him up, and they're on a mission from God. They got to save the orphanage that raised them. And every scene is a ball. Bustingly nutcracking. Funny scene. Done only the way that John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd could together. It is.

[Chris Hoadley]

They're a great team.

[Brian Green]

It is a fantastic movie. And I don't. So here's a little thing you might not know about me. My grandmother is in the Blues Brothers. What? My grandmother is in the Blues Brothers because the mall that they destroyed at the beginning of that movie, when the Blues Brothers are getting chased by the cops and they drive into the mall and they're driving all around destroying the mall, and there's all these police officers, you know, police cars driving around the mall. That was a mall that was set to be demolished. It was for sale. It was a. It was going to be abandoned essentially.

[Chris Hoadley]

Before abandoned malls were.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Back. This was. They were on trend on topic. This happened. They bought the mall, I think, for a million bucks or something like that. They bought it, and they just went apeshit. Well, they needed people to fill the mall, to fill certain scenes in the movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

She was an extra.

[Brian Green]

She was an extra in one of the scenes where my grandma. And so I have always been tied to this movie in a way that. That feels like family because literally, your family was in it and you could barely see her. I mean, you have to stop it at the right exact moment. You could see part of her red hair sticking out. It's not that she. You could see her face, but. But this movie is one of the greatest movies of all times. My opinion, it might be familiar. It might be something that's familiar with me. I've seen it a million times in my dad. I've seen it a million times in my family. I love this movie. Anytime it comes on, I have to watch the fucking Blues Brothers. Great movie. And I have the soundtrack. It is wonderful. Okay, you go.

[Chris Hoadley]

All right, next up, I've got. I'm going to go with the Big Lebowski.

[Brian Green]

When did the Big Lebowski come out?

[Chris Hoadley]

It came out in the 90s.

[Brian Green]

It did. Okay, well, of course, you have to put the Big Lebowski on there. Any Coen Brothers movie. I will. I will. One up you, Chrissy. I will say, do you know what's. Do you know what's better than the Big Lebowski.

[Chris Hoadley]

What?

[Brian Green]

Raising Arizona. Raising Arizona is better than the big movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

But I don't know the Big Lebowski.

[Brian Green]

I. I argue.

[Chris Hoadley]

It came out. 98.

[Brian Green]

Came out in 1998. Okay. I love the Big Lebowski. I think this movie is brilliant.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean, what a classic role for him.

[Brian Green]

He's the Dude.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like, he wasn't even always. I mean, he was the original Tron.

[Brian Green]

He was the original. He was original Tron.

[Chris Hoadley]

And Starman.

[Brian Green]

Oh, that's right. He was Starman. That's a string of roles for you. Starman into Tron. Into the Dude. He was in Tron. Yeah, he's in the new Tron.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, the new one was okay.

[Brian Green]

Which don't see, I guess. Anyway, listen, Big Lebowski.

[Chris Hoadley]

There's so many classic lines from that. Of course, there are White Russians drinking White Russians. I mean, oh, we've got, you know, God, John Candy. But what. Why am I blanking on his friend John Goodman.

[Brian Green]

John Goodman.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes, yes.

[Brian Green]

Steve Buscemi.

[Chris Hoadley]

John Goodman again, in a lot of.

[Brian Green]

Good movies, this is an infinitely quotable movie also. I mean, they have whole festivals dedicated to, like, Big Lebowski and the dude, and everybody dresses up like the Dude. And even he's even showed. The dude has even showed up at these festivals sometimes dressed as the Dude. And I don't know where the character stops and he begins. You know, he ends and the character begins.

[Chris Hoadley]

He's got a bathrobe on. He's smoking weed in the bathtub.

[Brian Green]

Listen, man, shit has gotten, like, you know, complicated. Watch the White Russian.

[Chris Hoadley]

It's so good.

[Brian Green]

It's great. And then I don't know who that lady is. Who plays the lady who's flying around naked, right?

[Chris Hoadley]

No.

[Brian Green]

And it's paint all over her body.

[Chris Hoadley]

Hold on. Let's see here. Because it is. It's Julianne Moore. No, no, no, no. Julianne Moore plays the. The. The girlfriend, okay? She's. It's not her.

[Brian Green]

Okay, it is. Who's the lady in Pleasant.

[Chris Hoadley]

Seymour Hoffman's in it.

[Brian Green]

Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[Chris Hoadley]

John Torino's in it. Toruro's in it.

[Brian Green]

That's right. God.

[Chris Hoadley]

Jeff Bridges. John Torino.

[Brian Green]

Don't fuck with the Jesus.

[Chris Hoadley]

It's Tara Reid.

[Brian Green]

Tara Reid.

[Chris Hoadley]

Tara Reid.

[Brian Green]

No, Tara. Re. Girl who's his boyfriend. No, I'm thinking of Julie. I'm thinking of the lady who's flying naked.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's Julia.

[Brian Green]

That's Julianne. Yes. Yeah. It's a weird scene. It's weird. And then Kenny Rogers, of Course, his song plays in that movie. It's the first time I had ever heard this song. I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. That is okay. It's a great movie, but I think. I still think Raising Arizona has to take the cake for Coen brothers straight comedies.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Because Raising Arizona is just so. It's also another. I know that Nicholas Cage's character is not as iconic as the Dude. I get that. No one's running around dressed up like, you know, a tie high from Raising Arizona.

[Chris Hoadley]

It's a great movie.

[Brian Green]

It's a great movie. And it's got. It's got emotion, it's got heart. It's like you're. You're rooting for the bad guy. There's an anti hero.

[Chris Hoadley]

I love Holly. Holly.

[Brian Green]

Holly Hunter.

[Chris Hoadley]

Hunter, yes.

[Brian Green]

Holly Hunter's great, Nick. It's about the last movie that Nicholas Cage made where he wasn't a total cook bag. I mean, Andy was a kook bag in this movie, but another movie where John Goodman shows up in that movie also. And just the stakes are high. It's a fun, fast paced, super fantastic movie. Not to take anything away from the Big Lebowski, but I just have to edge. It's my favorite Coen Brothers movie. I just have to edge that out. Just a little. Just a little scooch, Chrissy. Just a scooch. I have to say that the original is the best. The Raising Arizona is a brilliant movie, and I think that came out two, three years before the Big Lebowski maybe, but I think it was like. I do believe it won. Or it was nominated for a couple of awards, but I don't think it won anything.

[Chris Hoadley]

I think you're right, but I think.

[Brian Green]

That set them off. But then if we really want to talk about Coen Brothers movies, then let's not forget Fargo.

[Chris Hoadley]

Fargo. It was on my list.

[Brian Green]

Let's not forget Fargo. Fargo's on my list too, because Fargo, while the Big Lebowski is a kind of a fun, ridiculous, non sequential, weird movie with great character development in it, mainly the Dude. And Raising Arizona is a plot based caper where you have a lot of slapstick comedy, a lot of physical comedy and one liners that do well. Fargo does such a great job of painting the desperation of a man who has done something wrong.

[Chris Hoadley]

Right, right.

[Brian Green]

But where the. Where the rest of us might just go, I really up here. I should. I should not up while I'm up. I stole some. I'm gonna have to pay the consequences. He keeps going he keeps digging himself a hole. It's a feeling that all of us can understand. When he. When the guy calls from the GM dealership, the financing, and he knows he's busted, and he says, if I don't get those VIN numbers by the end of the day, I'm gonna have to call the authorities. Right. Or whatever. He says, I'm gonna call you. Whatever. And he slams down the phone and he, you know, wrecks his desk. The desperation. You could. It's almost something you could chew. It's like. It's so palpable. And then the rest of the movie just gets worse and worse. It just gets worse and worse.

[Mint Mobile Voice]

It does.

[Brian Green]

To the point of nothing gets better.

[Chris Hoadley]

Getting into a wood chipper.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, if you go into a wood chipper and Steve Buscemi again shows up and makes a brilliant turn in this movie, as does Sven. God. Oskar Fin. I don't know what his name is, but the guy who played I want the pancake.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

I want Pancake House. It's like, dude, you want Pancake House, but Steve Buscemi screwing those hookers. Screw it. The hooker scene in that movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

I forgot about that.

[Brian Green]

It's one of the better Coen Brothers movies, as the hookers are like, oh, yeah, give it to me. Oh, yeah, right there. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Feeling it now. Oh, yeah, give it to me. Such a fucking movie. I want to watch all these movies right now.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know. Me too.

[Brian Green]

I want to watch all of them. They all make me feel some way. Absolutely. All right, go. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, I. I give the floor back to you. Oh, wait. You know, we should do. We should take a break because we've got. Yeah, my external timer. All right, we'll be back in just a second.

All right, back talking about great movies from the 80s and 90s. These are not necessarily critically acclaimed movies. These are Chrissy and I's list of top 20. We'll probably get through about four of them at this current pace. But okay, whatever. Ongoing, that's the way that it is. Hey, at least we're sticking to topic. That's that I love like Chrissy. All right. Okay, go. What's your next one? Silence of the Lambs. This redefines a generation of thrillers. I think in a lot of ways it is a scary movie that is realistic and I think that's why it's so scary.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Not that any we, you know, you'd ever put someone in a chain mail face and you know, put him in the middle of an. The weird thing about that is they put him in the middle of like that, that hall, like the. You know what I'm saying? Chained up in that or not chained up, but in that cage.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh yeah.

[Brian Green]

Do you remember Hannibal Lecter goes in the cage and is he in the middle of a museum or something?

[Chris Hoadley]

No, he's in that glass cage and they're transporting him.

[Brian Green]

No, I'm saying when they transport him and they put him into the big like, you know, cage in the middle of the Room and he's talking to Clarice and he's, you know, hands her some. Give me the papers, Clarice.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, he makes her figure it out.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

There's so many elements to that whole movie. I mean, you're scared. It's psychologically scary because you could have been the person that was kidnapped. That. That guy, you know, then takes your skin.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

You put the lotion in the wild bill.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he puts the lotion in the basket. It's so weird. It's all weird. The first time you see Silence of the Lambs, I saw it at the movie theater. It's almost a religious experience. But not in the way that you had hoped.

[Bomba Socks Voice]

Right.

[Brian Green]

It was. It's like a very. It was a very scary movie. And it had you on the edge of your seat almost from the beginning. There are no frills in this movie. It cuts out a lot of the mustard, and I like that about the direction of the movie. I read the book and I read the book before it. Red Dawn Rising or Red Dragon, something along those lines. And there is a little bit of fluff in the book that with the Signs of the Lamb is based on, but in the movie, they cut all of that out and they just really get to the action very quick. Jody Foster. There's nobody else who could play that storage unit. All of it.

[Chris Hoadley]

Weird story.

[Brian Green]

All of it. Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

The insects.

[Brian Green]

The insects, the butterflies, the mobs.

[Chris Hoadley]

Putting into. He's putting into the throat.

[Brian Green]

When she goes to, like, the middle of Indiana and finds his bedroom and she's got, like, weird.

[Bomba Socks Voice]

It's.

[Brian Green]

It's all just creepy. Everything about the next scene is creepier than the next scene. Topped off by Anthony Hopkins. Absolutely terrifying.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, terrifying. I mean, he was a big actor on his own before that, but I think that really catapulted him.

[Brian Green]

Oh, there's no doubt. Oh, no doubt.

[Chris Hoadley]

Everybody's list.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I mean, Anthony Hopkins be just like. He went super global after he took that turn. I think he won the Academy Award for that. He must have won the Academy Award for that. He should have, for sure. I don't know who he's against, but that movie is terrifying. It redefines a genre of thriller and.

[Chris Hoadley]

Academy Award for best picture, Best actor in a leading role. Hold on, let's see.

[Brian Green]

I'm going to best actress for Jody Foster. I know she was nominated.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay. Outstanding. Before. Okay. Most recent winner was. Okay.

[Brian Green]

Well, he didn't win.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, he won.

[Brian Green]

He won. But she didn't.

[Chris Hoadley]

I don't think so. Let me See, I don't know. I'm getting lost on the Internet.

[Brian Green]

I know. She should have, she should have won that. What a great role. She does a great job of playing an FBI agent who's in way over her head, but she manages to pull it through. And that final scene where they have the night vision goggles on, it's just.

[Chris Hoadley]

Wait, wait, she got best actress, she got best Actress. It won so many awards. Okay? Best Picture, Best Actor in a leading role, Best Actress in a leading role, Best Directing, Best writing. And then it got some BAFTA awards, Golden Globes, Writers Guild.

[Brian Green]

All of it. Deserved. All of it. Deserved every bit of it. That was certainly a great movie. Now I'm gonna throw a movie in here that many people are probably gonna go, what the fuck, Brian? But I'm gonna throw it out there. Dances With Wolves.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, a great one.

[Brian Green]

Is a great. It is fucking Kevin movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean it.

[Brian Green]

His best work.

[Chris Hoadley]

That was one of the ones too that I remember kind of being like. It was a really long movie.

[Brian Green]

It's like three and a half hours long about that.

[Chris Hoadley]

But it's so good, so good.

[Brian Green]

All three and a half hours is.

[Chris Hoadley]

Good, beginning to end.

[Brian Green]

And when you watch it and you can appreciate what's going on and the totality of what Kevin Costner is trying to do in that movie because he'd also directed it, you can understand that the three and a half hours is not wasted. It's not. There's. There, there is a lot of dead space in that movie. There's a lot of places where there's no talking. There are long scenes that go on forever. Like when he's trying to communicate with the wolf, like when he meets the wolf. That scene must go on for five or six minutes. And it's just a wolf running back and forth, right? But it's, it's. It's crux to the story. And you have to understand the characters in order to be so involved in their perspective and their reasoning and their motivations. Kevin Costner doesn't knows that the US government is in the wrong, but he only learns that as he gets to know the people. And you only, you can only essentially root for the people and root for Kevin Costner's cause if you understand the, like the build up to it. And so all of that is needed. It's. First of all, it's one of the best scores in any movie ever. Dances with Wolves. The score is like the mute, the music to the movie. It's beautiful. It stands alone on its own. And the Movie itself. It comes on usually about this time every year. Thanksgiving. I don't know why. I guess Indians, Cowboys and Indians. I don't know.

[Chris Hoadley]

I haven't watched it in a while.

[Brian Green]

But I will watch it every time that it comes on because it. I just think it's a beautiful movie. I think it's a.

[Chris Hoadley]

It is.

[Brian Green]

Does. It's.

[Chris Hoadley]

I agree with you.

[Brian Green]

And I think it does a great job of. You know, when, when we were kids and we were growing up, right, it was cowboys and Indians. That's essentially how the world was painted. Cowboys and Indians. And Indians. Native Americans, Indians, people in our American history books, they were treated so disrespectfully. And while we. I had some teachers that tried to teach us. Us like that this wasn't exactly how things all went down. That's hard to explain to a 7 and an 8 year old. So there's a. Yeah, there's a through line. There's a narrative. And then when I watched that movie, I remember, and I was very young and my mom took me to see it. I do remember how long it was, but I also remember being very involved in the movie. But I. I remember feeling the. The unjust nature of what the American government was doing to these people and how bloodthirsty they were, essentially. Now, of course, that's just one narrative in many, but I'm just sharing that I loved the movie. I thought it was great and I thought Kevin Costner did a good job.

[Chris Hoadley]

I agree.

[Brian Green]

Great job. Dancing with the Wolves. I loved it.

[Chris Hoadley]

Go Pulp Fiction.

[Brian Green]

Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction. I'll go one better. Reservoir Dogs.

[Chris Hoadley]

Ooh, yes, yes. That was a little too violent for me at the time, probably looking back on it. And if I watched it again now, it would seem like nothing but. But at the time, it was. It was a little too violent for me.

[Brian Green]

But Reservoir Dogs. Yeah, yeah, it was. It's pretty bloody. But Quentin Tarantino would go on. I mean, that was the least violent of his movies. When you think about it, Pulp Fiction doesn't have a ton of violence.

[Chris Hoadley]

That was John Travolta's big comeback.

[Brian Green]

He was a kind of a pretty boy sitcom actor who did Grease. And everybody knew him as a dancer, singer, fluffy actor.

[Chris Hoadley]

Saturday Night Live. Grease did welcome Back kata.

[Brian Green]

Well, hey, Mr. K. Hey, Mr. K. I hated that show. I hated that show and I don't know why. Something about the beginning of welcome Back Cotter, the, the, you know, welcome back, welcome back, welcome Back. That whole music, the music, the scene and then that classroom, that was so like dark and dingy in Jersey. Something about that show. It almost scared me. I don't know what it was. Maybe it was John Travolta. Maybe he's the one who scared me. But in any case, John Travolta makes a comeback.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, he did do Urban Cowboy though too. That was a funny one.

[Brian Green]

Okay, he did Urban Cowboy, I love that. But many years later.

[Chris Hoadley]

But it's kind of gone away. But then Pulp Fiction really brought him back. And Uma Thurman, all of that. I mean, there's quite. I mean, the whole. It's such a fantastic movie. The briefcase. You don't know. You still don't know what's in the briefcase.

[Brian Green]

We still don't know what's in the briefcase. We can only assume. No, it's heroin. It's heroin. That's what it is. It's heroin.

[Chris Hoadley]

But there's a glow.

[Brian Green]

I know, because it's the glow. Everyone wants to get high. That's what. That's what it is. This movie about essentially heroin addicts. I mean, that's essentially at the end of the day what it is. And these weird criminals that we don't know what they do, we don't know why they do it. We don't know why they can call somebody and have a car cleaned up. We don't know why all that. Quentin Tarantino introduces us to a new type of movie movie, a Pulp Fiction essentially, like the old pulp magazines that they had. You know, they're just kind of these detective whatever, these weird noir magazines that then came to real life. And Pulp Fiction, it is again another non sequential movie that happens in weird timing, weird pacing, but it is beautifully shot. Uma Thurman was born to play that role. I can't now think of anybody except for John Travolta, who I would rather have have playing that. And Samuel Jackson is menacingly scary in that movie. Scary, yes. Sam Jackson would make a name for himself in that movie. And the first 15 minutes of that movie tells you everything that you need to know about Sam Jackson's character. He is scary as shit. Loved Pulp Fiction. Watched it a million times. What? Loved Reservoir Dogs, Watched it a million times.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean, I like all of Quentin Tarantino stuff.

[Brian Green]

Tough. Quentin Tarantina, he's a great director. Now what's he going to do next for his final movie? He was going to do this and now he's going to do that. He's. He's changing his mind. He's changing his mind. Maybe Quentin's decided that it's not that easy to top. I haven't. I. You know, I've never seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Oh, have you ever seen it?

[Chris Hoadley]

I did.

[Brian Green]

With Brad Pitt.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

You didn't like it?

[Chris Hoadley]

It was okay.

[Brian Green]

Everybody says it's like the perfect movie. What? I don't understand. No, not to you. Okay, to me. All right.

[Chris Hoadley]

My favorite.

[Brian Green]

You can have an unpopular opinion. That's okay. All right. Okay. I am going to bring one more out. Dazed and Confused. Dazed and Confused is a movie that any. Any teenager smoking pot or thinking about smoking pot in the 90s saw. It's a movie that met the moment. And here's what I meant. Here's what I mean by that. Now it's cool for the young kids. Like, the teenagers are wearing Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chain shirts. They're going back to the 90s. Fashion and style. They, they, they. It's what's hip and trending. Every 20 or 25 years, these trends recycle themselves. They look at their parents and they go, yeah, that wasn't so bad. I like that. That music was pretty good, right? And the reason why is because you look, you know when you're a kid and your parents are listening to their music, whatever it is, you go. And then you get to this point where you're like, ah, fuck you, dad.

[Chris Hoadley]

That shit's like high school, college.

[Brian Green]

And you go, oh, yeah, maybe it wasn't so bad. So in that moment, the 70s are becoming a thing. The fashion, the style, the trends. You go to a fish concert, a widespread concert, you could go to a rave. You go anywhere and see that the 70s music and fashion was influenced all throughout the culture in this kind of mid-90s. And then dazed and Confused comes along and really cements that in our brains and says, yeah, it was pretty cool back then. And one of the greatest lines in any movie ever is wrong Mr. Pickford altogether when he brings the keg of beer to the house before the parents leave, they're having a house party, keg of beer shows up. Like a delivery truck shows up with a keg of beer. And the parent, the dad, opens the door and he's like, Mr. Pickford. And the dad goes, yes. And he goes, got a keg of beer for you. Got a sign right here. And he goes, I didn't order a keg of beer. And he goes, you didn't? And then the kid who had ordered the keg of beer, his son is right behind him going like this. No, no, no. And the guy goes, oh, you know what? I think this is the wrong. Wrong Mr. Pickford altogether. So. Wrong Mr. Pickford altogether. That is a great movie. Dazed and Confused, one that I could watch over and over.

[Chris Hoadley]

It really is.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Okay, go.

[Chris Hoadley]

Am I going up next?

[Brian Green]

You'll go. You'll go one more and then we will take a break.

[Chris Hoadley]

Everything that we've been talking about has now been dictated.

[Brian Green]

Oh, good.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Well, at least we got it written down.

[Chris Hoadley]

All right, I'm gonna go with. I've got quite a few on here. I'm gonna go with Austin Powers.

[Brian Green]

Okay.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Interesting.

[Chris Hoadley]

It started a whole new thing, too. It did Mike Myers. I mean, it spawned, what, two more?

[Brian Green]

Three more.

[Chris Hoadley]

Three. Three total or whatever.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. Three total.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean, the classic 1 million.

[Brian Green]

It's got a lot of quotable lines.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, it does.

[Brian Green]

Mike Myers is a brilliant guy, comedian, and he had an epic run there.

[Chris Hoadley]

When it came out, Wayne's World.

[Brian Green]

And it. I didn't enjoy it as much as a lot of my peers did. I did not think it was as funny as a lot of other people did. Something about it didn't sit, like, comically well with me, although I did find moments funny. And I did think overall it was a pleasant movie to watch. I didn't find it, like, gut bustingly hilarious. I wasn't laughing out loud like a lot of the people around me were. I thought, oh, okay, all right. That's kind of silly, but okay. But I do understand why you put it in there. I'm just going to say unpopular opinion. Not in my. Not in a list of my favorite movies of the 80s or 90s. But. Okay, all right. I would share with you that there are probably way more people that agree with you than disagree with you. So there you go. All right, why don't we do this? We're ending on Austin Powers for this segment. We'll be back. And then we'll maybe. Maybe we got time for two or three more.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, we do. We do. I've got some. I still need to pull out here.

[Brian Green]

Okay, well, maybe we have to do a second episode. You know, Know, hold your powder. Yeah, and maybe. Maybe we'll be back.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean, there's. There's so many.

[Brian Green]

Too many. All right, we'll be back.

[Rachel]

Let me do something Brian has never done.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah. We're having fun in here. Just having fun in here. All right, I'm gonna.

[Chris Hoadley]

It's so much fun.

[Brian Green]

I know we've done a lot of comedy movies, but I'm gonna hit you with one since you hit me with one.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

This is Spinal Tap. This is Spinal Tap, of course.

[Chris Hoadley]

Have you seen the new one?

[Brian Green]

I haven't.

[Chris Hoadley]

I haven't either.

[Brian Green]

Is it out yet?

[Chris Hoadley]

I think it's out.

[Brian Green]

It is. I mean, it didn't make a lot of noise.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, it did leading up to it, but.

[Brian Green]

Well, I mean, I saw them everywhere, like Good Morning America and all that other stuff. But it can't be out. I thought it was like Thanksgiving.

[Chris Hoadley]

Is it?

[Brian Green]

This is Spinal Tap 2.

[Chris Hoadley]

Spinal Tap 2. Continues.

[Brian Green]

Spinal Tap. You think it's.

[Chris Hoadley]

It was released the 12th. September 12th.

[Brian Green]

It was, yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

How have we not seen this?

[Brian Green]

Well, I guess it didn't do that well.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, it's got a 66% rotten tomatoes, but I don't care. I've still got to see it.

[Brian Green]

Of course I'm going to see it, I think.

[Chris Hoadley]

Or do I just want to let the original live on?

[Brian Green]

I'm going to see it. But listen, I saw Blue Brothers, too, also. I can't ever wash that out of my eyes. But at the same time, I watched because I love the original. I just wanted to see if there's anything to take away from that. And largely, it's just the same movie with a bunch of new, dumb, you know, appearances by famous people. I don't understand why there needed to be a Spinal Tap, too. I can understand the premise of it, but Spinal Tap, in and of itself is as close to a perfect movie as you can get. It is almost all improvised. It is totally ridiculous. It is. It set the tone for mockumentary filmmaking and television shows to come. The. There is no Office without Spinal Tap. There is no the Office.

[Chris Hoadley]

And Chris is for guests. I mean, that. He kind of then set the tone. And he did quite a few.

[Brian Green]

Quite a few. And he went on a run, too.

[Chris Hoadley]

Best in Shows.

[Brian Green]

Best in show is fantastic. I tried to put that in here.

[Chris Hoadley]

But it was in the. It was 2001.

[Brian Green]

Oh, it was. I would have guessed it was, like, in the late 90s, but. Oh, okay. But this is. Spinal Tap is the original 84 I think is when it came out. It is a cult classic and now just become a regular classic. Because if you've seen Spinal Tap, then you know these guys and Rob Reiner, they were all improvising. Rob Reiner is brilliant in the movie too. And he's the director who's directing the director. The mockumentary. He is great. This movie is so fucking funny. This one goes to 11. This is another infinitely quotable movie movie that if you see it and you watch it a few times, every time that you watch it, something else pops out at you that is funny. You have to. You have to pay attention to the background players. You have to pay attention to every word that's being said. You have to be pay attention to the things that aren't being said because sometimes the space in between is just as funny as what's going on. It is great. It's a. I just love this movie with all my heart. And I'll watch Spinal Tap 2, if anything. Just to put a little extra jingle jangle in Christopher guest pocket. I'm assuming that's why they do did it is because they paid them. They drove the money truck up to them and said, do spot. However I did. I didn't know the movie had been released, but man, did I see them everywhere for a minute.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, I know.

[Brian Green]

And I was Good Morning America, 60.

[Chris Hoadley]

Minutes so I could watch it. But then I don't even know where I can.

[Brian Green]

Let me see Hulu. Everything's on Hulu. No, it's not even Apple tv. You have to pay for it all. But it seems to be discounted. That's just. That's just silly.

[Chris Hoadley]

Seems to be discounted.

[Brian Green]

Seems to be discounted. Michael McKeon. This is just. They're all great. God bless them. Harry Shear, Michael McKeon, Christopher. Fran Dreschler.

[Chris Hoadley]

She's great.

[Brian Green]

Spank the Glove. What was that, what was the name of the album? Spank the Wet Glove or something. Oh, it was brilliant. Brilliant. Spank the Wet Glove. Oh, I love it. I love everything. You can't have a free form jazz exploration in front of a festival crowd.

[Mint Mobile Voice]

It's just.

[Chris Hoadley]

I need to watch it again. There's so many.

[Brian Green]

Oh, one time when I was in 33 penis the same night that we. We got up and started playing and I said when we had. Is this the sound check? And he said, no, this is just your. Just your show. You want to sound check it, go ahead, bud. That's on your time, not on me.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, he got an hour.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I I think I responded by saying, well, you can't have a free form jazz expiration in front of a festival crowd. It's on tape some. I tried to. I tried to, you know, calm the 12 people in the audience down with a little humor. All right, go ahead.

[Chris Hoadley]

God. Well, there's two here that I'm debating on. Which one. I'm just gonna say them both. Cape Fear and Shawshank Redemption.

[Brian Green]

Oh, both great movies.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

But I. I think Shawshank is probably the critical darling we did make.

[Chris Hoadley]

We made the kids watch Shawshank Shank.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, It's a. It's a good movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

It's a must see.

[Brian Green]

It is a must see. Yeah. It's about the human spirit and. And connection and staying alive and, you know, staying hopeful in times of absolute desperation and how the little things matter. How just the little things matter. And so it's a great movie. And Cape Fear is just a weird, trippy, Juliet Lewis, Lolita type movie. Yeah. Juliet Lewis as a teenage girl who gets seduced by a mass murderer played by Robert De Niro.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

That is a scary, scary movie. When I first saw that.

[Chris Hoadley]

It is. It's a scary movie.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. There's not a bit of sunshine in that movie. It not. Not in the way it's shot. Not in the actual, like, nothing. Not in the script. Nothing. It is dark and dreary from the beginning to the end, and. But it is a great movie. I haven't seen Cape Fear in so many years. So many years, but, man, and when I first saw it again, another movie I saw in the movie theater, I did enjoy.

[Chris Hoadley]

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

[Brian Green]

Come out, come out, wherever you are. This is Robert De Niro's terrible southern accent.

[Chris Hoadley]

Counselor.

[Brian Green]

Counselor. Counselor.

[Chris Hoadley]

God, isn't it Nick Nolte? He's the dad.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah. Nick Nolte. I can smell him from here. Where is Nick Nolte? Is he dead, too?

[Chris Hoadley]

No.

[Brian Green]

Okay, just checking. I don't want to make anybody alive that's dead or anybody dead that's alive. Okay, I. I'll throw. I have so many.

[Chris Hoadley]

Me too.

[Brian Green]

Well, of course, you know, this is late, late, late 90s, so we're right on the edge here. But Office Space is a great movie. Office Space is a great movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

It really is. So many again, so many quotable lines. So, man, I mean, although the flare. Get your flare on. Jennifer Aniston.

[Brian Green]

Jennifer Aniston's brilliant in that movie. Yeah. The boss, played by. Whoever the boss is played by.

[Chris Hoadley]

Go ahead and need you to Come.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I'm gonna need you to go ahead and do our. Do the TPS reporting. Okay. Yeah. Made by Mike Judge. Is it Mike Judge? Yeah. Is it Mike Judge? Mike Judge did it. The guy who did Office Space. I mean, Beavis and Butthead. Because a lot of this, you can. You can almost hear the same characters in the movie. Movie. So it is just.

[Chris Hoadley]

There's released on my birthday.

[Brian Green]

It was. Oh, there you go. That's a Mike Judge movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

So Mike Judge hadn't done a ton of movies, but he's really a master at the cartoons. You know what I saw the other day, Mike Judge did for a period of time on mtv, did a television show like Stories from the Road, where he would take real musicians and tell their craziest stories from their time. Tour, touring. And it was a story about George Clinton and how Bow wow wow, yippee, oh yippee. A. How that song came to. Came to be was essentially George Clinton super high on sniffing cocaine and smoking crap. Yeah, but it's done in a cartoon. George Clinton's telling the story, but then they cartoonize it, the story. And it is just so crazy and funny. He's essentially been up for like 10 days in a row smoking crack and snorting cocaine.

[Chris Hoadley]

I saw that same thing. What was that?

[Brian Green]

It's called, like, Stories from the Road. Like, I don't know, Tales from the Road or Tales from the Tour Bus. Tales from the Tour Bus, I think is what it's called.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, And I often think of that movie too, when I'm in traffic. Because you go and then you get over and then your lane stops. The one that you were just in. Flies.

[Brian Green]

That's how it works. Every single time. And then your lane stops every single time. Yeah, that's why I pick a lane and I just stay with it. But then I'll see the other lane going for like six minutes, just flying, and I'll pull over and then it stops. And there is a well known reason for this is because everybody else is thinking the exact same thing. So everybody moves over and it just stops. It's crazy. But listen, the Office Space is a great movie made by Mike Judge, who I think is one of the better comedy writers of our time. He of course, did King of the Hill, Beavis and Butthead, and on and on and on. And by the way, the King of the Hill reboot boot. I wish it was much better than it actually is.

[Chris Hoadley]

Watched it. You were watching a couple episodes.

[Brian Green]

I watched. I got through like three. I started the fourth and I was like, man, am I just watching this? There's other things I could be watching. And I wanted it to be good so badly.

[Chris Hoadley]

I hate that.

[Brian Green]

But it didn't show up on any television station. So that probably should have been first indication about how good it was. It just went straight to Hulu or whatever. Okay, One more from each of us.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

All right. I'm gonna put in a sentimental favorite, probably from a lot of people, and say the Princess Bride.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, of course. God.

[Brian Green]

The Princess Bride.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

I mean, fairy tale, love story again, so many wizards and dragons.

[Chris Hoadley]

And we were just talking about that because that's where Billy Crystal plays the nun.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

He plays Carol Kane, his wife.

[Brian Green]

Marriage.

[Chris Hoadley]

And the marriage.

[Brian Green]

Marriage is what brings us here today.

[Chris Hoadley]

Robin. Robin. That was her first. I mean, and she's gone on to become so good at so many different roles.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Not as Sean Penn's wife, but other roles she's been really good at. Are they still married? Robin Wright. Sean Penn, or whatever her name was. Robin Wright. Penn. Robin Wright is probably one of my first crushes. Yeah. Because she is so stunningly gorgeous in that movie. But then just her, like, the personality of Robin in that movie is. Is so gentle and beautiful. And then whatever his name is, chivalrous, handsome, devil that comes. He's also, you know, a good looker. There's nothing wrong with him either. I mean, they're all.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. All of them are good looking. Except for Andre the Giant.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And Andre the Giant had to be.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like another Rob Reiner.

[Brian Green]

That's a Rob Reiner film. I did not know that Andre the Giant had to be managed like pain managed in the. The. That movie because he was in failing health when he filmed that movie. And he was having a lot of trouble doing some of the physical stuff they were asking him to do, like lift people above his head and all this stuff. Wesley.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. And that was Ivan. Simon. Cary Ues.

[Brian Green]

Ivan Simon Car. Did he ever do anything after that? I mean, I know he did. I saw him in something.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. He was in Robin Hood.

[Brian Green]

Oh. Oh, yeah, that's right. He was in Robin Hood. Men in Tights. Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

And in the Saw series. Wow.

[Brian Green]

He was.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Wow. From Princess Bride to the Saw series.

[Chris Hoadley]

He was in Hot Shots.

[Brian Green]

Hot Shots was a good movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

Days of Thunder.

[Brian Green]

Days of Thunder was Twister. He was in Twister. Well, the original. Okay, I agree with the original, but did we really need to. Do we need twisters with an S? I say no. I say no. The Princess Bride is a. Is just. Just a Brilliant. It really is movie. And it. It hits all the right notes and it's well done and it's well crafted and it's a gentle but fun story and it's adventurous but playful at the same time. The stakes are not super high, so you can let the kids watch it. It's like, you know, I remember watching that over and over and over again when I was a kid. Over and over and over. Oh, yeah, we had like a VHS copy of that or something.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

My parents. That was one of the few movies my parents would let us just put on repeat that Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Blues Brothers, a couple of other ones. All right, last one, Chrissy.

[Chris Hoadley]

I'm debating on these two, but in. In honor of the holiday season that is upon us, I'm going with Scrooged.

[Brian Green]

Scrooged, yes. Bill Murray.

[Chris Hoadley]

Carol Kane again.

[Brian Green]

Carol Kane, Bill. Wow. Yes. Fantastic holiday. Great movie. One of the most. Most under recognized Christmas holiday holiday movies. Bill Murray's great in this movie. He plays a tortured soul. He is a tortured soul. So when he plays a tortured soul, he does a really good job take.

[Chris Hoadley]

On A Christmas Story and. Right.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Christmas Story. What's the. The past, the present, the future, The Christmas Carol. Christmas Carol.

[Brian Green]

Christmas Carol. Yeah. And he's a TV station owner and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You can go watch it. It's really, really, really good. Good. You know, I want to piggy front off that and say Groundhog Day was another fantastic movie.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean, it's one of my favorites. I have to watch it every. Groundhog Day.

[Brian Green]

Yes. I want a piggy front off.

[Chris Hoadley]

Kelly and I loved that movie so much. We said we were going to go to Punxutawney.

[Brian Green]

It exists. We.

[Chris Hoadley]

It does exist.

[Brian Green]

And there's Punxsutawney. Phil. He exists.

[Chris Hoadley]

He does. But then when we actually looked into it, we were like, eh, it's Punxsutawney.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I mean, come on, Chrissy, you really going to go to Punxsutawney? Is that really what you're going to do?

[Chris Hoadley]

We were going to do a pilgrimage.

[Brian Green]

Okay, that sounds like fun. And I will say, if we're going to throw out a holiday movie, that deserves some street cred here. It's A Christmas Story. Yes. Which is become probably the biggest. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is another one. National Lampoon's Vacation is another one.

[Chris Hoadley]

I didn't come out in the 70s, did it?

[Brian Green]

No, it came out like in 1981 or something like that. The original Lampoons vacation, I think 1981. Because he drives that truckster, that family road.

[Chris Hoadley]

Family road, yeah.

[Brian Green]

I think Station Wagons are. Are a distinctly late 70s, early 80s, 80s in general thing. All these great movies. Oh, unbelievable. All right, what's your favorite? Write in, let us know. We'll do another one of these because I didn't even get through half my list.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, I know, Me either. I. I'm gonna go ahead and go. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

[Brian Green]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is another great movie. When that come out 98. I don't know. Not on that 2012. I don't know.

[Chris Hoadley]

It was in that 90s.

[Brian Green]

It was. Should have been in the 90s. 90s, yes. Okay. All great.

[Chris Hoadley]

Benicio Del Toro.

[Brian Green]

The Doors.

[Chris Hoadley]

The Doors.

[Brian Green]

The Doors is another great movie that came out in the 90s. Wow.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know. We've got so many.

[Brian Green]

We can go on and on forever.

[Chris Hoadley]

We should have narrowed it to one decade.

[Brian Green]

We should have narrowed it to two years. Really. We should have said 84 to 86. We should go through like two year periods because, you know, you look back on that time, it's just a. It's a golden era for filmmaking. It really is. And now twisters within us.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

At least we got Wicked. At least we got Wicked to look forward to. Wicked Part 2. We'll see. I don't know. Wicked Part 2. We'll See. We'll see how it all goes down. Have you seen Wicked one?

[Chris Hoadley]

I did say Wicked one.

[Brian Green]

Did you like it? Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Chris Hoadley]

So I read the book, which is different.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it's like a sex. It was like a lot of sex in the movie. Huh? In the book. Yeah, yeah. No sex in the movie. Straight G rating there.

[Chris Hoadley]

They had to take it to Broadway. I actually just watched this whole thing about how they. It's on Peacock. How they. They did a whole thing of the wizard of Oz about how he did. How he came up with that story then. Yeah, Wicked. Then how that went to Broadway.

[Brian Green]

Stephen Schwartz, how he got it to. Yeah, yeah. Great story. Yeah. And those people will never hurt for another diamond their life. I mean, that guy who wrote Wicked, he like, he was like a struggling hater.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, okay. He wrote children's stories before that, but then this was one for adults.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he wanted to write an offshoot of the wizard of Oz. Anyway, it was. It's good.
