Yeah, guys. If you're watching us on video, you're wondering why is tequila out? It's nine in the morning on a Monday. Well, we come to you with heavy hearts. Today is a big episode because it is the final episode for one of our drafters. My dear brother, Chris, whoa, he's moving.
Starting point is 00:01:17 He's being a good guy. He's going to help a family member that's in need, as always, put in responsibility first. But as a result, he's not going to be drafted anymore. I'm probably emotional, too, because he won't be living in L.A. anymore. So, Chris, take it. Oh, yeah, I just wanted, I mean, look, I'll come visit, you know, got to come out, see you dudes. Maybe we'll be able to squeeze a draft in,
Starting point is 00:01:42 but yeah, definitely can't plan on it being any regular thing. Plus, I got another baby coming in February, so it'll probably be a minute. Which is good. Congratulations, thank you. But, yeah, it's not, weren't planning to move, but it's the right thing to do. It's for a family member on my wife's side.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And so we're moving back home for her to Louisville. I do like the city. It'll be different, though. I've been in L.A. for 12 years? I think like 14 now. Wow. Damn. Are you going to become a barbecue sauce guy?
Starting point is 00:02:20 Are you going to be telling us, hey, we have the best barbecue sauce? We do it right down here. They don't really have a regional one. But I'll be closer to like, Kansas City, you know, I'll be closer to the Carolinas. So maybe I'll get a little bit, I think I lean, I think I lean Carolina right now, but we'll see. We'll see. I'll be Southern then. Whoa, that's going to be nice. That's crazy. You could be a bourbon guy. Yeah. Bourbon's huge. That is, that is the, uh, it's like they got bourbon and they got the Kentucky
Starting point is 00:02:49 Derby. Those are the things that it's most known for. You're going to get, you're going to have a ward of strictly pastels. A lot of pastels, the checker, the checkered. Uh, sport coats. Searsucker. Yeah. Yep. Yep. I'll get to do that whole thing.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I'll probably have an accent. Yeah. Oh, I can't hear your accent when you come back. That'll be nice. Yeah. It'll be nice. Do you think your kids will have Southern accents? I was wondering about that, but like, Becca doesn't really have an accent.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Maybe she'll fall into it a little bit more when she's living at home. You know, like it'll, it'll come out a little bit, but like her sister doesn't really have one. So I don't think so. But I don't know. It'd be weird. It'd be crazy. Do you think your kids first word? to be I do declare
Starting point is 00:03:28 I do declare it's like funny like the AB testing of like yeah like the one that was raised in SoCal for the first couple years and then the one that was raised straight Kentucky did what's up dad
Starting point is 00:03:43 and then the other one's like I do declare dad Pop on my algebra homework is the dickens with the mustache yeah you can't do it's sucking my face it's like you're not that's not
Starting point is 00:03:57 you normally laugh i'm not emotional fucking just this is a mustache dude yeah it's been uh it's been intense it's been intense moving out it's sad yeah yeah yeah it's got to be rough it's been a nice weekend we saw we saw the running man with some oh with some of the boys saw some friends yesterday and then had dinner with some friends last night so you know just getting it all in well when do you when do you officially move uh going down to our moms in orange county tomorrow and then i'm driving beginning of December.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Okay, gotcha. Beck and the baby are flying out on the second. Gotcha. Yeah. Oh, solo road trip. That would be cool. Just me and the dog, dude.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Yeah. I got to hit up some friends in Denver to see if I can crash. Yeah. That'd be nice. Yeah. That's my plan, although I haven't told them yet.
Starting point is 00:04:48 So, it's also like, dude, do you guys want to make some time for me? It'll probably be like midday on a Tuesday. And our boy, Trev's got the sickest gamer Dude, you can post up in that gamer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's tight. And Luke bought a house, so maybe I'll, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Oh, yeah. I'll see who wants to have me. Either you're gonna fight over you, dude. Yeah, either you guys want to house me for a night. Dude, a gamer den, that sounds nice. That sounds something like for my 40s. His is a specific vibe. It's kind of like, imagine where they,
Starting point is 00:05:17 where Osama bin Laden was living plus Wi-Fi. Yeah. It's like that. Like, where do you think of demon sleeps? Yeah. I have this fantasy becoming a gamer in my 40s. I think it'd be cool. Oh, nice, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:29 You get a head start, dude, because the learning curve is hard. I know. These kids are good at game. I know. They're really good. You take a couple of years off and you fall behind big time. Yeah. Damn, that's going to be crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Oh, fuck. Dude, don't even tell me that. Dude, yeah, you got those fucking unc thumbs, bro. That is that an insult. Yeah, it's a heavy insult, dude. Oh, dude, we got, oh, we got, oh, we got, oh, we got, oh, we got, we got will ever be playing video games or it's just, like, you just put something on your head and you're just in your mind.
Starting point is 00:05:57 That's what I think. Yeah, maybe you're just faster with that. And you're just like, eyelids are flickering. Yeah. She's sick. Gaming super hard. Yeah, you put those on and your wife comes home and you just have a big boner. And she's doing.
Starting point is 00:06:09 But you're completely still. Yeah, yeah. But you're like, to the left, three guys. Moving. Yeah. He's down. He's down. It's like demolition style sex, but for gaming.

Starting point is 00:06:55 that it's like Yeah. It's like they just it was just like pray and spray with like what the movie's about but we don't like all of these things and it's just like they're like from one scene to the next it's just like oh you hate that okay yeah that's cool yeah I could see why that'd be bad oh that too okay yeah like he just kept like being like this sucks and you're like yeah I hate rules some of the some of the chase scenes were fun you know what I mean yeah he's great at action scenes there's like three movies out with like white dudes on the lamb from stuff. There's like a Channing Tatum one where he's at like a grocery store. There's an
Starting point is 00:07:29 Austin Butler one where he's like on the run from three different mobs and then there's literally the running man with Glenn Powell. It's all pretty hot white dudes.

Starting point is 00:08:50 make it as big as you can think of and he went with the best animated films of all time. Now this is a genre near and dear to your heart. Yeah. I don't know. I love I think I'm just going to go I'm not going to try and
Starting point is 00:09:05 you know get something from here or something from there. I'm just going to go with what I like which are you'll find out pretty fast. I'm pretty sure you know you know what I mean. Also I've seen you watch a lot of animated movies lately. I've seen you watch them for sure. I've watched my
Starting point is 00:09:21 Roe was kind of like Losing it a little bit Like some weird Weird sleeping I just like maybe it was sick So we've been watching a lot of Crushing a lot of TV Just because like that's like
Starting point is 00:09:31 What calmed her down I've watched Frozen 30 times In the last week Wow Good or bad Not on my list Is it gonna be on your list
Starting point is 00:09:39 It's not gonna be on my list But I did have to shout it out Since it's her favorite movie right now And it's animated Look the songs are great I've always had problems with the story But in case anybody picks it, I can save me poo-pooing, you know, some of the plot holes in that mood are for that.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Do you mention the plot holes to her? Like, you're like, this is... It's like, Beck and I will, like, discuss because she's like, what's going on here? And I'm like... The logic's not there. Well, just some of it. It's like, where are Christop's parents? How did he have a baby reindeer that was, like, his best friend?
Starting point is 00:10:12 Like, I imagine that cost something. And, like, none of the other ice guys care that he didn't make it back to camp. And then he just gets raised by trolls. Like, I need more, this doesn't work for me. Yeah. I need this explained. But it's kind of, it's just a little shoddy, you know? But let it go is amazing.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Yeah. It's like one of the, like every time that scene's on, I get chills. Wait, what are we, but we're talking about, we're not even picking it. Let's get into the draft. Let's go. Come on. Odds or evens. One, two, three, shoot.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Oh. One, two, three, shoot. Oh, Jesus. One, two, three, shoot. Oh. could be good yeah the turn in this one is nice one two three shoot okay look at j t you are i used to i used to be able to get to the last couple times i haven't made it to the rock paper scissors i always thought like there was like par there was like par energy i feel like
Starting point is 00:11:06 you guys just knew you always throw you you you call it rock paper scissors shoot right okay rock paper scissors shoot fuck all right i just got so dominated i felt i don't know i think i've gotten the You dominate, dude. You're a dominator. All right, guys. With the first pick in the animated film draft, I am going with the king of the jungle, the lion king. That would have been my number one pick as well, dude.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It's a great call. I love that movie. That's it. That's the number one pick. It's great. I mean, here we go. It's got the best songs. It's got the best voices, Jeremy Irons and James,
Starting point is 00:11:49 Jones. It's got the hottest lions with Simba and Nayla. Nala. Nala. Oh, dude, your picture in count. And then, you know, here's what's crazy. Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is the head of Disney animated, he didn't think he was going to be a hit. Really? He was telling the whole team, hey, you guys are kind of the B-side.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Pocahontas is going to be the big winner. And then when he finally saw it, he went, holy moly, bejoli. Yeah. This is the big dog. They all went out to the to the, like, Serengetti and looked at the animals. And they saw a lion and a bunch of baby lions eating out of a gazelle.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And they said, that's a movie. Yes. And the animation was a big leap forward. I mean, you got rack focuses. You got 360 cam spins. Stuff that just wasn't technologically available before that. It was a movie that I saw when I was young and it really changed me. But here's what I love most about it.
Starting point is 00:12:36 It's not just the Akuna Matata. It's not just the circle of life. It is the parable of the king. So like in Robert Moore's philosophy, king, warrior, magician, lover, the responsibility of the king is the fertility of the land so when Simba abdicates his responsibility and leaves town because he thinks he whacked his dad
Starting point is 00:12:56 scar takes over and what happens to Pride Rock the grass goes away the fruit dissolves the animals can't eat and then what happens when Simba comes back accepts his responsibility accepts his role in life accepts that you are going to make mistakes but you still have to take care of those around you everything comes back to life
Starting point is 00:13:15 that is a good king and that's what I love about animated pictures in general I think they really hit home a message that works for kids and adults and for me the Lion King hits the hardest so I'm going Lion King number one it's also Hamlet and Hamlet with lions
Starting point is 00:13:29 so technically the first Disney animated picture that was done without source material but for the well-informed it's got a lot of Hamlet in there using the brothers grim it's awesome it's so good yeah Scar dude and the hyenas they overhunt the land dude
Starting point is 00:13:45 They throw it out of whack. It's a circle of life. He just never took the lesson, you know. You only take as much as you need, and that's what keeps the whole train moving. Dude, and then, I mean, at the rewatchability factor, highest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Any animated movie, that's true. It's like rewatched it with my kids. They loved it. It's what, my daughter says symbol all the time. You know, fucking in and out. Let's go. I'll watch it when I'm in my 80s. I'll be stoked.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I can watch it any time. It's so good. It's also on planes a lot, dude. Let's go. Yeah. It's on planes a lot Like you said, howest lines The songs I listen to
Starting point is 00:14:20 To this day, they get me so pumped up I mean Can you feel the love tonight? Can you feel a lot tonight? Okay, the line Will he be The king I know he is The king I see inside
Starting point is 00:14:32 Dude, I do sprints to that Yeah, it's good Dude, here's the thing What is perhaps the highest Stage of Art? Is it Broadway? They took the Lion King and put it on Broadway, dude.
Starting point is 00:14:44 huge and if I saw it and it's sick so yeah bro this this would have been my number one pick my favorite character as a kid and hasn't changed from the movie Rafiki did love Rafiki so legit yeah he can fight
Starting point is 00:15:03 he can fight he's kooky he's smart he puts the Balabab fruit on Simba's face they uh I mean the the flow they give Simba. The flow they give Simba too? They literally give Simba
Starting point is 00:15:21 the best flow. He's got a great man. They understood that. They're like, we need to give this guy a nice middle part that just looks, you know, that if he put a hat on him, the wings would be just next level. And it really did feel like when it came out, it was like there was before the Lion King and then after the Lion King. Like it was an event.
Starting point is 00:15:41 apparently the guy who was a young simba i haven't fact checked this but i saw it just scroll in social media apparently he took a less fee up front just to get royalties on the movie jonathan thomas no the guy who he didn't sing those songs it was like oh it was uh he got royalties on it jason weaver yeah you remember him from drumline and uh a disney show that guy he's the one who sings i just can't wait to be king man you got to love when they got a white boy I think they did that with Zach Efron and breaking free too they're like hey white boy you do the acting but when it comes to the
Starting point is 00:16:21 we need this song to be a hit it's a soulful jam brother yeah we gotta we gotta bring in this dude and then this dude was like you know what don't pay me my fee I'll take a little bit less but keep it coming baby smartest movie ever made it's so sick all right well that's the number one pick
Starting point is 00:16:36 who's got the number two pick I've got the number two pick right here and this is a tough choice that's my number one badass Disney movie and I'm sure we're going to revisit the mouse at some point here but for my number two pick
Starting point is 00:16:54 I'm going on with the second greatest animated movie of all time and this is a franchise and it could be argued there are more powerful films within it but I've got to go with the original I've got to go with the foundation I've got to go with Toy Story this movie
Starting point is 00:17:11 correct you know you got it's not a musical but the music cues in it you got uh louis Armstrong you got a friend in me I mean it's the ultimate bro duo Woody and Buzz it's one of those movies is that Louis Armstrong
Starting point is 00:17:26 maybe oh no it's um Randy Newman I'm a dumbass yeah it's Randy Newman I'm a dumb ass thank you very much um sorry no thank you so much for making sure you know baby we're about to put this cake in the oven and I forgot to put, you know, the fucking nutritional yeast
Starting point is 00:17:42 or whatever it is in the recipe to make it rise. So you saved the frickin' day, bro. I think he saved it. Iconic characters, tons of laughs, and I mean heart for days, dude. It's, you have Sid, who you hope your kid doesn't grow up to be. So there's a built-in lesson for parents there. And it's one of those movies that, you know, you guys are parents, your fathers. If your kid's going to rewatch a movie a billion times,
Starting point is 00:18:08 and it's this, you're happy. Yeah, 100%. I hope that's the case. Go ahead. Cook. No, you probably have something better. No, I don't. I mean, the humor in it.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I think it was the start of that Pixar humor where it's as an adult you can watch it and it just speaks to you. Whereas I think it has wide appeal to any age group. You are a sad, strange little man and you have my pity. Yeah, that's what's. It's like, I'm sure there are a lot of Pixar movies are going to come up, but where it felt like they were like elevated, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's like a lot of the classic Disney ones are like more like elemental stories, you know? It's like Lion King is like very like, it feels very timeless because it's like a king, you know, betrayal. These ones, you get way more creative. You know what I mean? Like your toys are alive. It's like this whole hidden world. Yeah. That was so cool and like just like blew my mind as a little kid.
Starting point is 00:19:06 And it's scary. Dude, when Buzz tries to fly and he, and then he falls and his arm pops off. Oh, dude. So sad, dude. Totally. Like, it really made, they do a good job of making you, like, deal with the highs and lows, you know. And Woody is kind of the bad guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Like, a lot of it's him coming to terms with not being the man anymore and getting his ego out of there. Yeah, that's true. And you are a toy! And the way they're able to take, like, toys that we all know and give them. the personal, like the Mr. Potato Head has his marriage with Mrs. Potato Head. He has a horn dog in it. Yeah, and then the aliens in the, in the cloth thing. Yeah, they're just, they're just so funny.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Sid, blowing him up. Yeah. I've been chosen. Farewell, friends. I go to a better place. Yeah, yeah. I have to shout out Hampton Yunt to he had the greatest stand-up joke of all time. I mean this seriously without hyperbole.
Starting point is 00:20:05 It was that he went over to his friend's house. when he was like six and his friend was like watch this and his friend humped uh his uh hulk hogan doll for like five minutes like had sex with it and then hampton's go goes i always thought what if toy story was real and he'd even talk him was like we got to kill this kid brother he's a sick freak yeah then toys would have seen some gnarly gnarly shit remember this the movie i don't think it's gonna be on anyone's list but uh what was the toy soldier one what was like really dark we're like uh Small soldiers? Small soldiers.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Remember that movie? Yeah. Yeah. Well, it'd be interesting if somebody does a hybrid movie. That could happen. I put it on my list. Well, that's interesting. That's an interesting thing if that can happen.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Yeah. Well, that's, I think there are certain hybrid ones that were like, okay, but I think there's other ones where I'm like, no. It's not. I agree. There's a threshold. But there are some that I'm like, yeah, that works.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Well, let's find out. Chris, you're up. Dude, I think I'm going to switch it. I really want to make sure that this comes back to me. I don't know what Chad's going to do. And I think I need to move away from some of the classic Disney ones because it'll just be an also ran in the first pick. So I got to switch it up.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And I'm going to go Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse. Damn it. It's a good one. Oh, what a good pick. So early, but it's good. Well, because it's like, I don't want to miss it because this might be, I would have taken it on the way back. This might be the best movie.
Starting point is 00:21:25 It's so funny. Yeah. It's so wacky and creative and fun. And the animation styles, they do so much different stuff to where it feels like one of one. It's cool. there's not another movie that feels like this that I had ever seen when I saw it in theaters and I haven't seen anything that really has matched it yet no it felt like the same technical leap forward that the Lion King and Toy Story were yeah and they do so many different and the song is so good
Starting point is 00:21:52 the song is so good and actually I think it's um actually I think it's for me it was the strongest like um I know it was before BLM but that kind of energy, I think was artistically told the best in this movie. Because he rocks the hoodie. Yeah. And then there's like Trayvon Martin, which they don't overdo it. But like, and then in the big scene where he's finally ready to like embrace his responsibility and become Spider-Man, he's on top of the building. It's got that banger song, What Up Danger? And he's like, how do you know? And then the Jake Johnson's character is like, you don't, you just take a leap. And then he jumps off the building. He's just falling. And he shoots up the webs and like, Aunt Mary. What's her name?
Starting point is 00:22:35 Aunt May, she gave him the web slinger. She's like, they fit perfect. He shoots him up. And right when it catches, it goes, what's up danger? And he catches it. And he starts flying on these, Spider-Man. And I cry every time I watch it. And he realized, you're like, dude.
Starting point is 00:22:47 And he's, you're like, you know, you kill a young, this. Any kid could be Spider-Man is basically the lesson. So we should treat them all good. And to put all that into one scene is just. It's amazing. The heart of it and like just what it felt. like it was saying, was amazing. But then you also have spider pig and, like,
Starting point is 00:23:10 noir Spider-Man. John Mulaney. Like, they're all so funny and different. And also, I love Jake Johnson, dude. And it's like, it's a perfect Jake Johnson role. He crushes it. As the mentor, you know what I mean? But he's a slob.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And he's like, he's kind of messed up in his own universe. And, like, you know, it's just, it's so good. And the dad character, when his dad's talking to him through the door, but he can't come in. Because the uncle's dead. And then the Uncle Aaron stuff is so good. You're the best of us, mouse. The heart's crazy in that.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Great song, too. So, alone. Yeah, beautiful. Yeah. I still, I was listening to that gold's yesterday.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Nice. I was doing kettlebells to that. Oh, baby. Yeah. It's a great pick, Chris. It's early, but it's good.
Starting point is 00:23:55 But like, I'm going to be able to get, I'm going to be able to get one on the way back. I don't know if I was going to, I don't know if Spider-Man was, in the Spider-Ver wasn't waiting for me. On the way back, I would have been bummed.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Is Aaron judging this? Yes. He might knock you on that coming a little early, but I like it, baby. And I'm a guy who's been coming early his whole life, so. I hear you, brother. I love it. Yeah, I guess. Chad, you're up with two.
Starting point is 00:24:17 All right. You know, you guys took all my first picks. Really? A Lion King, Toy Story. I don't know if I would have gone Spider-Man, but it's a great, great pick. But Lion King Toy Story, those are my two all-time favorites. So, but I got to go with this one. I think it's a Pixar classic.
Starting point is 00:24:34 I think it's very quotable. I think it has memorable characters. I think it's an adventure. It's a tearjerker. It's funny. I've got to go with Finding Nemo. Yeah, bro. Oh.
Starting point is 00:24:46 This was big. You're on an adventure in the Osh. You got Crush. I mean, everyone loves Crush. When they get separated and the dad is freaking, I mean, it's, it brings me to tears just thinking about it. Is Crush the Turtle? Crush is the turtle iconic
Starting point is 00:25:06 Everyone knows crush Shell Noggin Dude I think a hundred years from now If someone sounds like crush They'd be like Is that real life crush Yeah
Starting point is 00:25:16 And it does that great thing Where Crush seems like an idiot But then he teaches you The best lesson Which is that You gotta let the little dudes Find their way Yeah
Starting point is 00:25:23 And I mean It bringing fish to life Is just Oh and Bruce the shark I almost forgot about Bruce the shark I mean, brought Ellen back.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah, I mean, this is Alan pre-cancel. This is Peak Ellen. Willem DeFoe is, what's the fish's name in the dentist office? So funny. He's the leader of that crew. You got that whole sad, dude. Gill. Oh, Stephen Root is much.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I would say it has the most emotional clarity of any of the Pixar movies, too. It's very, like, some of them can get a, like, someone that will come up. They're kind of all over the place. Yeah. Finding Nemo's very, like, clear. It's like, dude, this dad lost his son and he's getting back. And it's just, yeah, very clear, very, very, when the dad loses the son, you're like, you've got to find him. And it's, it's just him looking around here, you're like.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Nemo, Nemo! I don't know if any scene in the movie has made me cry more than that. That's so interesting because, like, this is, it's a great movie. It doesn't, like, tug at the heartstrings for me, like a lot of other animated movies do. But it makes sense I should have known that you would have picked it because it takes place
Starting point is 00:26:36 almost exclusively in the ocean Of course you would love this You're underwater For the whole movie And it is Peak Pixar where it's like It's and that
Starting point is 00:26:49 That humor that Pixar uses Where it's like you What's the term Where they With the sharks Like the juxtaposition juxtaposition it's like anthroporization
Starting point is 00:27:02 not misdirection but it's like you under yeah it's the unexpected it's the opposite it's like monsters what if monsters were scared what if sharks didn't want to eat that's what they do
Starting point is 00:27:12 they invert they invert it yeah yeah where you invert it and you have fish your friends not food yeah they are the best at that and then like
Starting point is 00:27:22 they're kind of baseline formula is what if X had feelings yes like it's a toaster yeah I mean I feel like this trap You just draft all end up being like a love letter to Pixar
Starting point is 00:27:32 because they have so many Absolute bangers. It was all Disney. Like pretty much it was just like Disney was the animated movie and then Pixar comes out with like Toy Story and then they just have bang or after bang or after bang. There's such a heater. If you picked as your five,
Starting point is 00:27:48 just all Pixar movies you'd probably do really well. Oh yeah. It'd be a great list. They were so good that Disney's like we're going to break up with Disney. We must acquire. Yeah. And Bob Huggers like we can't do Pixar. We have to.
Starting point is 00:27:59 have them. I actually have it. I did my list. Greatest artistic hubs and clusters in history. Number five, the abstract expressionist like Pollock and Rothka, they all hung out together. Number four, I'll go Florence, Da Vinci and Michelangelo, fierce rivals, but popping around in the same town. Number three, I'll go Athens, socrates, Aristophanes, Euripides, all chilling, talking, inspiring each other. number two cafe guibroix the french impressionist manet d'ega
Starting point is 00:28:35 number one and i mean this Pixar Pixar the most coherent and collaborative artistic endeavor in history i mean doctor
Starting point is 00:28:44 bird stanton lasseter all just all working on each other's movies making them better they had rules that they had to abide by no executive notes
Starting point is 00:28:53 but brutally honest with one another it's like if the Beatles helped each other with their solo albums it's crazy Dude, I can't like that list you just made. That was fire, yeah, I like that. Yeah. Did you guys know about all that shit that he just said?
Starting point is 00:29:05 No, no. Me neither, dude? I'm trying to memorize my... Did you take an art history class when I wasn't watching? Yeah, I was notting along. I was like, yeah, I recognize that name. I don't recognize that one. It sounded a little bit like this other guy, but it's Aristophanese?
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah. I thought you were going Aristotle, and then you went Aristophanes, and I went, who the fuck? I wanted to mix in the poets with the thinker. because he had to have art. When you're bragging, it's annoying me. When he goes to Florence, I was like, and the machine? Yeah, I was going to say, I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Coachella. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They make pasta there, right? And say, we just, I don't know about it. I thought you guys were going to be mad that I left Picasso and Brock off. And I was like, that's fair. That's my next comment. I mean, I was going to say that.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I didn't want to ruin the back. You were flowing, but I can interrupt you. Okay. You know, this is a tough one. I think, I you know what this one's really tough but I got to go
Starting point is 00:30:05 you know with these I got to go with what what's what spoke to me the most and I think what spoke to me the most when I was young it was a beautiful story about an ogre a green ogre with Eddie Murphy as a donkey
Starting point is 00:30:23 donkey donkey and the little gingerbread man and of course Lord Farquod I gotta go Shrek Yeah Number two
Starting point is 00:30:34 Lord Farquod Shrek Um Shrek was When I was a kid When I saw Shrek It was so quotable You know
Starting point is 00:30:42 I haven't watched these movies in a while So forgive me on my recollection But We got you dog Um With the little gingerbread man
Starting point is 00:30:51 What's the scene With the little Gingerbread Man? No Not the gumdrop button and he's like tell me he's like
Starting point is 00:31:01 eat me and he spits on him and then there's the muffin man back and forth that gets quoted a lot
Starting point is 00:31:09 yeah it's and it's one thing that I love with these animated movies is when they take you know they're taking fairy tales like
Starting point is 00:31:16 fables and stuff and they're inverting them as well with the I think they is the Humpty Dumpty in Shrek or am I missing that
Starting point is 00:31:23 but the gingerbread man I don't remember a joke about that um Yeah, he, like, comes home and, like, the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood is, like, pretending to be the grandma on his bed. Yeah, yeah. I love when they do that. And Lord Farquod, iconic character, Shrek, Shrek and Donkey, just an iconic animated duo.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I mean, you got Mike Myers, you got Eddie Murphy. And isn't there a lore that Eddie, Mike Myers, he made them redo the whole movie because he didn't like the voice? it's so funny too because he's done that voice before like a couple times but like three months in he's like it's got to be the voice it's like oh one of your staples
Starting point is 00:32:04 you couldn't have decided that he was right you know Spielberg but it's almost like do you think you could have come to it three months earlier maybe saved like $20 million I don't know how much of it
Starting point is 00:32:14 the studio is furious at him but then Spielberg wrote him a letter afterwards and said you were correct yeah wow and then you know dude the ending a lot of these movies it's like the message and we were so used to
Starting point is 00:32:24 hey if you're good person in a cartoon you go from being ugly to beautiful and then the ending of this one is you are beautiful if you're ugly oh yes i was actually wondering about that because like because like frozen has like an inverted thing not to bring it back to that but like we're like it's not true love's kiss and ends up being like sisterly affection that saves the day right but like if you grow up on those movies you don't even realize that that was a zag you know like if you grow up on shrek you but we had like that whole build up of like yeah oh whoa that but like they might just think And that's probably why we're going back to hot stuff now
Starting point is 00:32:56 because people choked on ugly propaganda. Right. And then now they were like, you told me ugly was better than hot my whole time growing up. I'm looking at the reality now. And then it says what's up. And then they'll do the inverted version where, you know, it's a female ogre, but then at the end,
Starting point is 00:33:13 or it's a female hot person. And at the end, the ogre has like a washboard abs. And it's like an eight pack. It would be like the new version in like 20 years. That also sounds, and then it'll swing back. Yeah. I mean, he should have got a hot show. Yeah, it would have been cool if Fiona stayed.
Starting point is 00:33:29 But you know what, bro? I don't mind when she looked like Shrekky, though. I mean, it's not wrong. Because that ass got bigger though, dude, for sure. Nah, that's for sure. When she became the ogre, I think Shrek should have just been like, no. No, I'm not into it. No.
Starting point is 00:33:42 He should have been. What happened? I thought you were supposed to, I thought it was supposed to break the spell. What's going on? That would have been real. The donkey is so funny. Eddie Murphy. Poffay.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I never made him, but he doesn't like a pawfitt. Yeah, all their, all their back and forth is so good, you know. Prince Charming, the Prince Charming is hilarious. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not Shrek 1, dude, which one are you picking? Oh, fuck. Oh, Zingarino. Roski.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Well, you want a little puss and boots action, too? Oh, yeah, dude. Keep it chronological. For real, that was like, for real. Part of part of, part of the temp part of picking track is like, two is very, very good. Yeah, that was a lot of these. Tim, I don't think I want the chasing from Torstall 2?
Starting point is 00:34:28 You don't think I want the car chasing from Torstoy 2? Don't even say the name. You just burned it. You're not taking that. I mean, we remiss of you. Consider that a save, dude. All right, Chris, you're up. Can't take another movie in the same franchise.

I'm torn between two Pixar movies and they're both kind of my favorite and I don't know what to do. You know what? I know which one you're going to do. I'm going to go... Yeah, you got to. Let's go with the one that's about food, dude.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Let's go to Rattitouet. I know. I knew it. Palers love this movie. Also, we're wearing berets, baby. Where does this take place? France. Betty.
Starting point is 00:36:41 For me, Rattit, incredible movie. A rat as a chef. Like, talk about inversion. Like, we're going to make this adorable and appetizing. We're going to have a rat cooking. Remy, baby. Big time degree of difficulty. But for me,
Starting point is 00:36:54 bro, it's Anton Ego. It's the critic at the end, the big heavy. His flashback, dude, it takes him to his childhood, bro. It returns him to innocence. And Peter O'Toole busting that monologue? It's fine. We critics must realize is we risk very little. And we write negative criticism, which is fun to read and to write.
Starting point is 00:37:15 People say I look like this guy. It has a gorgeous show to my core. Linguini? I thought you remember it, too. Yeah, people say I look like the chef, but I am a rat. People say that about me. But who he identifies is, it's like, I have to go back. It's like, and his dad's like, why when his dad rescues him?
Starting point is 00:37:35 And his dad never really understood? And he's like, because I'm a chef. That's who he is. And then the dad and the family shows up to help. You know, we may not be chefs, but we are family. What do you want us to do? Let's go, dude. Janine Garofalo is great in it.
Starting point is 00:37:49 She's awesome. Look how adorable ratatoo he is. It's so cute. It's so cute. He's controlling the guy with his hair. Pat and Oswald. It's so fun. I just love this movie. I could watch it.
Starting point is 00:37:59 And any time. And the chase scenes in the kitchen are super fun. Bradbird knows what he's doing with action scenes. Dude. Great ride, too. Great ride. Yeah. Is it at Disneyland?
Starting point is 00:38:10 Disney World. It's at Disney World. You said they're going from 3D to 2D, right? Yeah, I think you said that. Oh. No, it's at Epcot. Yeah. Oh, is that like part of Disney World?
Starting point is 00:38:19 We were there. We were there. All of us were there to go. No, no, you don't remember when we were there. It was not at Disney World. Epcot's part of Disney. That's what I was asking. That's, okay, so it's a greater thing.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Specifically, it's at Epcot. Oh, my God, dude. Do you know what you're doing to him right now? Do you know how saddy is right now? In the Paris section on Epcot. I've never been, I don't think I've been to Epcot Center and I know it. Yeah, yeah. The Disneyland Park is called the Magic Kingdom in Disney World.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Do you not know that? I did not know that. I knew that it was at Epcot Center because we went to Epcot. What, dude, you being defiant right now is making me hard. Yeah. Well, maybe a character in this film I'm about to select as a defiant. You actually look like an employee
Starting point is 00:38:55 at the Paris section right now. Thank you. And, dude, I think very personal film for Pixar. I mean, obviously, it goes at critics and it's a love letter to craftsmen and artists. It's such a good movie. And I knew I'd get a Pixar one because there's so many good ones. Strider, you're up, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Oh, man. This is tough, dude. There's so many bangers out there, dude. And... I think I can... get some of these a little bit later. I think right now I've got to go
Starting point is 00:39:27 with chalk. I think I got to go I got to go back to Disney. Okay? So you guys are safe in that regard although get ready. My list is going to get more versatile after this.
Starting point is 00:39:40 The question is which Disney film do I go with? And I think there's two for me that are absolute fire. But I think the one that probably really there's three
Starting point is 00:39:56 but I'm not going to take that other one it's probably going to be an honorable mention I got to go with Aladdin whoa yeah I got to go with Aladdin I got to go with the genie I was going to say it must be all Robin Williams not all but
Starting point is 00:40:08 but also you have to realize Chris this is from a thousand and one nights this is an iconic classic story of all of literature and humanity and it's one story from the Arabian Nights and it's executed in the most perfect version, if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Also, this movie encapsulates what all the Disney movies have. It's, you know, you have your princess, you have your kingdom, you have a, you have your street rat, riffraff. That's what they're looking for. That's the only one who can get in. A diamond in the rough. So good. You have your ultimate villain in Jafar. You have Yago is funny.
Starting point is 00:40:43 He's pulling laughs. Bobcat, right? Yep, Bobcat. Go with you. No, no, no. Godfried. Oh, Gilbert Godfrey. similar similar
Starting point is 00:40:52 same ilk both guys who talk regular in real life like that's like a character they're doing they don't talk neither of them have like those are those aren't real voices no like if you talk to them they will be talking like this like regular yeah both guys but it's impressive how early did they
Starting point is 00:41:08 commit to like I'll just do this whenever I'm on screen dude rough imagine to open mics imagine you doing that shit dude and I gotta say I'm gonna throw this out there hottest animated character Thank you. I mean, clapping cheeks with Jasmine.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Fire, dude. And she's got a pet tiger, what up? Also. Been wondering when we're going to get to the horny part of the podcast. Speaking of horny, this has one of my favorite Disney songs, Show You the World. Yeah. I will show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Tell me, Princess, when did you last? Let your heart decide. decide a whole new world don't you dare close your eyes the harmonizing he's a magic carpet and dude i mean the genie has robin william's absolute fire i think when disney did their reboot money grab movies the first one they did was lion king because they're like this is our absolute banger i think this was number two yeah and they put will wasn't bad i never watched it again because like you remake a great movie doesn't need to be touched do it again it's like yeah it's Pretty good, but, you know, the original is better.
Starting point is 00:42:21 For my money, too, the best sounding names, like Jafar, Aladdin, Jasmine. They're so sonorous on the ears, bro. His song is, you know, where he steals the brand and he's running away. What a great song, dude. So good. Yeah. And I remember my parents laughing their ass off at Robin Williams. Oh, he's so fun.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Like, what a bone to throw to parents. You know, not the kids didn't enjoy it, but like, but I just remember my parents were like, because it was Robin Williams at the height. of his powers you know so fun can your friends do this can your friends do that great rub the lamp yeah the the the live action Disney I mean what is going on they ever better yeah so if you're not trying to make a better movie yeah why are you doing it are any of them and it's just tough when you're just doing it again do they're any of them good no no I think that's actually I disagree I think they're all like competent and like decent movies but it's just like it's just never
Starting point is 00:43:18 gonna you're not gonna recreate that magic again because like i've seen this before yeah what i mean like they added a couple new things to the aladdin one like genie kind of has like a romance angle with like jasmine's best friend and it's solid like but again like i'm never like watching because if i'm gonna go put on a movie i'm like you know am i going to put on aladdin or am i going to put on like the live action remake it's like no i'm gonna put on the original and look at that Look at that animation too. It's incredible. Beautiful. And dude, I think, uh, I kind of think they're the hottest. Yeah. Aladdin is a good looking dude. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Clos in cheeks with Jasmine. Yeah. He's got good facks. Yeah. Sometimes I just totally lose my face. The Salton's funny. The little father. He's kind in nature and you know, a bit naive. Yeah. Yeah. It's far too. I do like this too because it's also like a Roershack test like seeing who picks what because they're all great movies and they're all classics. anything but everybody's different you know it's like which ones did you connect with as a kid that just like really stuck in your dome yeah you know i got to say i i think it's a great pick but aladdin was i've watched it once and i was done oh it's like tier four for me yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:44:27 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah damn the rewatchability on it for me was even though they're hot i was just like yeah yeah yeah yeah whatever yeah magic car like you got mom you got animal sidekicks love that you got two the bad guys got one the good guys got one and a magic carpet ride throw or magic carpet thrown in that's sentient and like no and like has a bit of a personality like that's awesome guys I got to I'm up I got to take over and win this thing so you guys have done a good job but fairly Philistine if I'm being straight shit it's time for me to slam dunk this thing are you Are you guys familiar with the concept of Ma, the Japanese concept of Ma?
Starting point is 00:45:07 Absolutely. Oh, here we go. I thought these were coming back to me. I thought it might come back to me too. You were clapping, and you were clapping fast, very American. Oh. When the great Lord of animation, Miyasaki explained Ma to Roger Epert, one clap. And then the tension afterwards.
Starting point is 00:45:24 The pace isn't empty, it's full. And that is why I am going with, spirited away by Mia. by Miyasaki, 2001, changed the game of animation. I love it. From the Ghibli studio founded by Miyasaki
Starting point is 00:45:42 and his contemporary Takahata, who deeply disagreed with him on what animation should be. Miyazaki thought it should be dreamlike. It should be unexplained. It should be what he called wasi sabi, which is intentionally imperfect. Takahata was more about Gengbutsu,
Starting point is 00:46:00 which is what Toyota calls Real Place real thing. He wanted to be textured in real life. And I watched it last night for the first time and I was blown away. I did.
Starting point is 00:46:11 It's incredible. It's amazing. What a dream scape, dude. It takes lessons. In a bath house. I haven't seen Wabi Sabi, sorry, I said it wrong. I haven't seen.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I haven't seen what I think are like probably the three, just talking to people, the three of his movies that I would like the most. And this is one of them. I haven't seen. You haven't seen Princess Monooku either?
Starting point is 00:46:31 I, I actually, I have. I've seen that a couple times. I haven't seen House moving Castle spirited away and my neighbor Totero. And those, in talking to people, I think I would like more than Princess Monanoque. Yeah, I've seen Princess Mononokey.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I like this one the most. Honestly, I like Naska Valley of the Wind. Oh, hey, you know your stuff. Oh, I've seen them all. I love them. I was hoping these would come back. I was going to ask you seen it. Ponyo.
Starting point is 00:46:53 I watched it last night, bro. You know I do my research kid? Ponyo, yeah. I didn't like Pony. It's funny, though. We would put it on a lot as a bit because one of our friends hated it but dude this movie is is amazing dude it takes place in a chinese bathhouse you know it's a little girl goes on this journey her parents sorry sorry
Starting point is 00:47:11 japanese bath house i'm a dumb ass no uh no it's totally japanese my bad and it gets you there quick man it's about responsibility it's about becoming an adult it's about realizing your parents are kind of full of it or in sellouts and like what that feels like when you have to step into the world without them i i saw so many other movies that were influenced by like a pan's labyrinth i don't think exists without spirited away. I mean, you can feel its fingerprints all over it. And yeah, I was just really moved by just the images. Like, it's 2D. It doesn't have the same like Pixar kind of immersiveness, but just like the train tracks under the water and just like the sheer imagination of like the visuals and all the, the way the story evolves without
Starting point is 00:47:51 being on an arc, like doesn't feel like it's on tracks. It feels completely impressionist. So I was, I mean, it does. It has like stories and stuff that folds back. I hear you. But it's way more, like, it's way more episodic. And it was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Miyasaki, total beast, man, taught us so much about life. And so, yeah, I'm stoked. I got spirited away.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Y'all, y'all fucked up, bro. And you know, uh, I haven't seen it. I was grossing film in Japan's history. I mean, I need to see these movies. I know, like, like Brooks's Gamer tag for a while had like my neighbor Totero is the little image. And I was like, what is it? You haven't seen that?
Starting point is 00:48:23 I couldn't do Totero. I couldn't get into it. But you know, this movie famously. And J.T. likes it because this movie is, a Weinstein production when it came to America when they did the voices, not joking. Yeah, no, that's true, but see, I'm glad you brought that up.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I'm going to tell you the story about Miyazaki because Weinstein had, no, I'll tell this story. Because he has, this is my story. Okay, what is it? Go ahead. No, you do it. So Weinstein wanted to cut, make cuts in the movie. Yeah, he's good. And Miyazaki's response was brilliant.
Starting point is 00:48:49 He mailed him a samurai sword and said, no cuts. Bang. That's so smart because, you know, he's like, oh, hell yeah. I got like he gifted me a samurai sword maybe I will let it's like I think he's playing on multiple levels everywhere he's like you know this will probably satisfy him because I'm like oh cool I got a samurai sword from a Japanese dude but like I'll get my way and like it's it maybe it's a cheap knockoff and I just bought it for five bucks and one of his earlier films had been taken for American distribution and they cut 22 minutes out of it and they totally defiled it
Starting point is 00:49:21 yeah and then John Lasseter helped a lot too the guy from Pixar he was a huge fan of me of And he was like, hey, I'll help make sure that the translations and everything are solid. Jake, you can just put spirited away. No, keep, keep Miyazaki up there. I want that. Yeah, that is nice to have the filmmaker. Oh, that's just the director. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Beautiful movie. If you're a 10-year-old girl like I am. Give it up for Chicago. Sebastian Manuscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st. 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos? complete nerd Bezos now rip the shreds

Starting point is 00:52:08 all right guys with my next pick you guys pick some good Pixar but I think you went away from its most impressive film I got to go with Inside Out Oh, I thought you were going to do another one. And for me, you know what Inside Out reminds me of is a Frank Lloyd Wright's falling water. It's perfect structures built not on top of something, but inside of something.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Like Frank Lloyd Wright's house is built into nature and every detail isn't arbitrary. You feel like you're inside of a living thing. And that's Inside Out. The architecture of it, the detail of it, you're like, oh my God, I'm moving through a human life as I'm experiencing this. And then there's a story within that. Yeah. And like you said earlier, this is, this is quite essentially the quintessential, uh, thesis of Pixar, which is like, what if this had feelings?
Starting point is 00:53:01 And he's literally feelings having feelings. Yeah. Yes. Also, JT's list right now, classic Disney, Miyazaki, Pixar. It's nice. I had to spread it out earlier. I was hoping to get it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:53:11 He's doing, he's doing a good job. And that's what you get when you win and get the first pick he gets to set the tone because there's going to be so many preparation and research you know yeah and he did and he did his work he watched the movies last night I'm glad you watched that movie
Starting point is 00:53:28 I was going to a podcast as well and I was reading articles you were going to get called the fuck out though I was also writing my novel yeah and nothing dude inside out maybe too sad the sad
Starting point is 00:53:40 does anything hit you as deep it's pretty sad what's the other one I might burn a pick but there's a real girl's life at risk get inside out. A 14 year old girl might run away. You love 12 girls. Well, I just think there's a lot of pathos there. I mean, you know, another film I love Bo Burnham's eighth grade. I think that's a great fucking movie. And I never stop being an eighth grade girl. That's still who I am at
Starting point is 00:54:01 my core. An eighth grade girl should exist inside every strong grown man in the world would be better for it. Absolutely, brother. Finger away. And that's an animated movie I'm making. It's so good. It's a beautiful film. And the one that blew my mind, most where I was just like, dude, how did they figure all this shit out? It's so, because it's so funny, scientists, so playful. And then it's just like, it's brutal, man. Like, it's just like, so many feelings.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Dude, see, uh, Chile lived in the Midwest and then moved. And it was like her moving from the Midwest. And like, he played hockey then. And he was like, like, seeing him. I didn't see the movie with him, but he was like, do you see inside out? It ruined me. Like, it was, oh, man, I was dying. And it was my life.
Starting point is 00:54:49 he was like he like uh it's just so moving it's such a good movie all right strider you're up oh wait can't tell one inside out story though yeah it goes on theaters i think i might have even told him on the pod before but you know with with uh bing bong how like he has to sacrifice himself so that joy can get out of like the long like older memories that get thrown away he has to sacrifice himself and it's like really emotional but it's a very powerful scene i saw it opening weekend like middle of the day so there are kids in the theater and it's just like you can hear a pin drop because it's so sad and everyone's so moved and then you hear this little kid go but why did he have to die and then the whole theater went oh oh it was amazing
Starting point is 00:55:35 one of my favorite movie going experiences have you seen it no i haven't seen it i'm just yeah i was like you're being yeah i haven't seen it really whoa i need to watch i need to watch this and spirited away i'm curious what you think about spirited away be good strata europe eastern theme dude it's legit all right it is it's very eastern right it's very legit it's not about good and evil no it's about karma it's about balance it exists in the floating world brother dude uh how did you pick it i was gonna take it here i was this that was literally giving my pick right here on the swing but you sniped me dude which was smart um
Starting point is 00:56:10 so now this could is this a bend this is a style of animation now if i ask you this question and I pick this and you guys say okay that doesn't count does it do am I fucked what is it I want to do the nightmare before Christmas with with claymation yeah that can I do that yeah claymation oh thank you I'll take the nightmare before Christmas I thought you were gonna go with something that was like half live action half animated okay maybe Chris will do one of those later I think there's some that blood that are okay like if they put like a real person in a mainly animated I think that's okay yeah there's like one real guy and everything else is
Starting point is 00:56:44 animated I think that's animated basically like avatar doesn't count no no you can't do avatar doesn't count okay okay but this is this movie right here had a heavy impact on me as a child my dad who famously says when he goes to see any movie
Starting point is 00:56:58 he goes every story's been told this is why I don't waste my money it's classic we went and saw the night before Christmas and he came and he said that was well done and this movie is well done dude it's like it's just iconic
Starting point is 00:57:11 it's the characters the texture of it if you're a Tim Burton head you're probably yizzing right now so you're welcome for that every kid uh speaking of you know teenage girls that exist inside of us every uh you know gothic teenage daughter has a jack skellington patch on her backpack for school he's sexy he is a little bit he is sexy who did the voice for jack skeleton is it uh i don't remember because it might
Starting point is 00:57:34 have been just like a rando no yeah that's rando then chris serendon don't know yeah danny elfman interesting imagine he's i imagine maybe he's saying maybe he's he's saying what's this what's this is an all time scene all time all time uh yeah katherine o'hare's amazing i didn't see this movie until i was in college and i was like this movie fucking good like it's really i watch when i was a kid i haven't watched it since it's so fun and because it's just different it's got such a different vibe yeah the look of it's so different yeah you know what i mean like he like it's this guy feels like he's stuck in a rut and then he finds something that like inspires him but he perverts it yes
Starting point is 00:58:18 You know, like he just doesn't quite get it. You know what I mean? He figures it out for the wrong reasons, you know? Yeah, it's a great pick. And it's just so different from so many of the other movies that are going to be picked. That's the thing. Putting this up, like, when I saw this movie, I was like, I didn't even know you could do that with like an animated movie.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Like, as a kid, when I saw it, I was like, I was expecting a Lion King or an Aladdin. Then you go and see this. And it, like, takes you into the world. I love how it's like every holiday up against the tree. There's like the Christmas bunny. He just happens to go into Christmas Town or Halloween because he lives. and he lives in Halloween town and it's just
Starting point is 00:58:50 it's also like scary you know it's got a nice element of that that if you watch it if you watch it you know it's just giving you different vibes The Samman character dude
Starting point is 00:58:59 as a kid I was like that's fucked up yeah it's got a little bit more it's just weirder it's just a weird hang you know that's super fun
Starting point is 00:59:08 but still made for kids it's a great pick strider and added a lot of unique texture to your list thank you very much that's what I was looking for here
Starting point is 00:59:15 Chris you're up I'm going chalk dude I need I need a musical. Yep. I like action. I'm going, move on.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Yeah, that's what they said. Instead of Aladdin, I was going to go move on. It's just like, it's just like, it's so sick. I mean,
Starting point is 00:59:35 it's just like, she's got to fight an army. Yeah. Of the most badass looking people, dude. And honestly, has one of my most fun. Like,
Starting point is 00:59:44 when I'm driving and I'm soothing and I'm a little bit scared, I'll be like, let's get, down to business? Maybe yeah it's so good. Is that the song
Starting point is 00:59:52 you've listened to the most out of all the Disney songs? I mean it's Yes Did they give me daughters When I asked For sons You're the saddest
Starting point is 01:00:04 Bunch of everything And dude in the movie When they cut it to the visuals And you see her Not being able to climb the stick And then she swings the The metals together And she realized the brain
Starting point is 01:00:14 Dude the intuitive genius She's got the brain She's got the brain because she's, I don't have all the physical tools. She still figures it out. I'm not gonna muscle my way up this thing. But no, but no, I gotta out think this thing, dude. And then that freaking hottie walks out in the morning, ready to be disappointed in everyone.
Starting point is 01:00:27 And she, be, yeah, the arrow just slams at his feet and he looks up and he's like, son of a bitch. The bad guys in Moulin were pretty sick. The Mongols are the Huns? The Mongols, bro. He's got his falcon. And also like, he's got his falcon. And also, like, he's, too. But also his athleticism is off the charts.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Jacked, yes, yes. In the final fight scene, he jumps up through the ceiling. Even if he's on a beam underneath. the power like he jumps it's a high jump he's Ray Lewis it's a high jump through a ceiling and he lands like a cat if they remake it they should put like real life oh they already did if they remake it again I think Ray Lewis should be the bad guy that'd be so sick you you cost me my victory no he gets hit with the shoe I did and she pulls her hair up the soldier from the mountain yeah great delivery dude let's go let's go it's uh the movie
Starting point is 01:01:18 No more songs after they come across the Burnt Village, dude, because that's when the movie kicks in it. This is serious. People are dead, dude. It's got real sticks. It's got real stakes. Also, do you know who's back in this one, dude, doing another voice? Eddie Murphy, baby. Humphi, too. Amish to the ancestors, dude. That's huge in Chinese culture. This is a fire movie, dude. She's a brave-ass bitch. Who plays Milan? No idea. Oh, nice. Oh, me not win
Starting point is 01:01:49 And I don't think that live action Really got a good Fair shake because it was during COVID Yeah It was another one right Not bad another one Yeah I don't know if I'm ever watching it again
Starting point is 01:02:00 Yeah No whimsy We don't need it No whimsy bro It was a little bit more serious Don't we taking the whimsy out of it Yeah no I know Well that's like it's like it's so fun
Starting point is 01:02:10 Dude even like the opening The Matchmaker song is wonderful And then reflection dude reflection when she leaves in the middle of the night and it's raining it's so dramatic her cutting her hair and then like showing up and the horse is scared and then she's like no
Starting point is 01:02:25 we gotta get out of here we gotta save dad yes sacrifice Chad you're up two picks brother all right all right all right all right good pick you know I for this one I gotta go with a classic
Starting point is 01:02:38 and this is not just because it's one of the first and greatest animated movies all the time I watched this on repeat as a kid. I love this movie. Iconic characters still holds up. I got to go with Snow White. Bang, bang, baby.
Starting point is 01:02:54 I mean, the dwarfs, come on. The dwarfs, it's scary. The witch is scary. Stay on the dwarfs. What's up? Stay on the dwarfs. Dude, I mean, the dwarfs. What are their names?
Starting point is 01:03:06 It's like sleepy, lazy. Lazy, dopey. Yeah, they're all kind of dip shits. Yeah, yeah. They all have Bad traits Sleepy dopey dumbass If we remade it
Starting point is 01:03:22 Be like douche nozzle Ditch shit Yeah yeah Dush gnaz Dwhat Pussy Okay but you didn't like the new one I don't watch the new one
Starting point is 01:03:34 That got turned into a debate over Israel Palestine Which was super good for the movie The OG one The OG one 1937 I believe. And who's the bad lady's the wicked witch of the... That's, that's the Wizard of Oz.
Starting point is 01:03:50 But she's the, she is the queen. The crone with the apple. And this is the mirror, right? What's up? Like mirror mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all? Iconic. And so, um...
Starting point is 01:04:02 Dude, it's twice, because the mirror mirrors in Shrek too. Obviously, it's like playing a joke off this. Yeah, but yeah, you like mirrors. I like, you like competition for beauty. Well, that's what, that's how I do. I'm like mirror mirror. like um who's the most stoked out there but i mean so like the queen is beautiful there's a boy in ohio her nose is definitely emblematic of the cock that's the phallic kentucky blood is rushing to their
Starting point is 01:04:27 engorged orphid oh the red yeah yep yeah i do think that's something that's been lost in modern storytelling is there's not as much like subliminal uh sexuality and passion that we put through our symbols but i think that was to our detriment like that really made movies like this super provocative when you're a kid you don't register that but you understand like the bolder context you're like broader context you're like oh yeah yeah yeah and stuff like that yes it's true and you know one might say withholding sexuality from art and putting it out there for audiences to see and done in a tasteful manner which i think they do to a degree in this film uh it would make perhaps anything a sex object or the naked body uh an object of desire rather than something that is beauty on its own and might cause one to uh conversely or maybe so inversely or maybe so inversely see something that might be a blemish or a flaw on another's body to have their own self-doubts. You're making a Victorian argument that if you
Starting point is 01:05:20 restrict sexual expression, everything becomes sexual expression. Yes. Yes. It becomes loaded into everything and that's how we decide to frame everything. It's important for it to be out there. Yeah. Because it neutralizes it to an extent. The Olympics should go back to being nude, even the winter. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Chad, one more pick. All right. Another pick. This movie I mean the first act is incredible because it's pretty much silent it's a Pixar banger it's a big pick
Starting point is 01:05:49 it predicted the future and it gave like a kind of grim prediction of our future but it's kind of you know Pixar kind of I think they they know what they're talking about
Starting point is 01:06:03 it's a genius it's getting huge brains it's becoming true I'm going with Wally great pitch I was waiting for this one I was going to come by it This is a second rounder, bro.
Starting point is 01:06:13 This is big. I was between Ratatouille and Wally. Yeah. I thought you were going to go Raleigh. I mean, just because it's bolder storytelling. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:21 I like Rattitouin. No, I, I vacillate back and forth, which one is my favorite animated movie, so. I remember watching Wally in the theaters. I was just blown away. I mean, it's one of those Pixar movies where you're just,
Starting point is 01:06:33 I mean, the courage and the storytelling with it. And then the, I mean, the image of fat people and the, That's incredible. In the scooters. It's just being fed, just being fed content.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Yeah. And trash producers. That's all we are. And that's what we can be. It's like if we're not careful, that's what we'll happen. That's what we're becoming. Hateful messaging from Pixar and it couldn't have landed closer to the truth. Speaking of mirrors, this movie casts Samir on what, you know, we might be or a certain
Starting point is 01:07:02 aspects. And it's a little guy who just wants connection. Yeah. He meets someone. But then in the process of this. also finds a cause that he wants to fight for, and he puts it all on the line, dude. He's a little guy. He's a total sim.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Dude, he literally, like, gets crushed at the edge, just trying to hold up the thing so they can, you know, put the plant in the drive, dude. And he's just getting smacked. Puts it all on the line, dude. And is AI the bad guy? Yeah. The computers? Yeah. Autopilot.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Ahead of its time. Auto. Auto. The bad guy. Like, Jeff Garland just calls him auto. When did Wally come out, Jake? 2012 or sorry 2008 wow they really predicted whoa I was a senior when I saw it I saw it twice in theaters
Starting point is 01:07:49 your brother got a big laugh on it in the theater before the movie started your brother went wally the whole beer cracked up and we were like let's go he also like make so many friends dude he gets people he gets people to think outside of the box because he's been alone on his own for so long he figured out how to entertain himself in his mind opened up and he's able to do that for other robots and other people he gets the humans to like look up for the first time two of the characters and a lot of the like defunct robots
Starting point is 01:08:19 he gets them to like think on their own and and and they all work together towards a great towards a goal it's incredible and just to get take it back to you know elite film corner inspired by very old cinema i mean picks are totally creative but also indebted to our cinematic history i mean you think about Toy Story 1, Sid, that's from Freaks. You think about this one, in Wally, those eyes, the silent beginning, they based it all on Buster Keaton. They gave them the same face as Buster Keaton to make them uber expressive, super relatable, super endearing to the audience. No dialogue. They're just like, let's take it back to the beginning.
Starting point is 01:08:57 It's not derivative. It's homage, and it services the narrative. And also a robot. Too creative to be derivative, for sure. It might be one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. Dude, you might be. One of the greatest sci-fi works. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Also, dude, when they dance in space. Oh, my God. It's so cute. Beautiful. And he risks it all for Ava. I mean, the love that he has is so pure. And then she gets to see a clip of like all that he did when she was locked, when she was like on standby, dude. It's just.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Also, they nail it with just. It makes you cry every time. The way Pixar understands the shape that the human brain sees, like, I see Ava and I know. Babe. She's a babe. That's a robot I want to have sex with. I know that. And that's impressive that
Starting point is 01:09:38 Pixar can do that She's also got She's also like semi indestructible And has a huge freaking cannon On her hand It's just so fun

Starting point is 01:11:33 Characters I'd like to bang. Oh, my God. I think we talked about Jessica Rabbit at length when we did biggest crushes. Lank. We should. Because one of the greatest lines of all time, I can't help it, Mr. I was drawn this way.
Starting point is 01:11:46 That's a great, yes. Oh, my God. Dude, honestly, that was in my dank-ass fiance's bio on her social media. Oh, nice. That line, yeah. Well, she is a smart lady. She has good taste, obviously.
Starting point is 01:11:58 And she was doing that as sort of a commentary, too, because the character's aware that men probably drew her and wanted her to be busty. But at the same time, she's inhabiting that for power. Oh, dude. You use the gifts the gods give us. Correct. Sean Bean, Troy.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Lots of God. Do you use your cunning on my cousin, Prachocles? Yeah, I got to say. I am Brad Pitt, and I exist always in the 1990s, but somehow I accidentally woke up in ancient Greece and I'm being paid an ungodly amount. I got to say, great roller coaster. This movie? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Oh, yeah, it is a fun ride. It's such a wacky movie. Yeah, when I was a kid, I was looping that thing. You also get some songs. Yeah. You know? He says, I don't sing. Then he does.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Bobby Hoskins. Can I say something about him, too? Sex icon. Like, in a movie plays Cher's love interest, Mermaids, that movie with Winona Ryder. Guys, five foot. One! Jake, can you pull up when he's watching his shirt in the sink?
Starting point is 01:12:55 And who frame Roger Robert? He's great in everything. He's great in that Danny the Dog movie. What's the American? title for it. I only call movies by the European title. Unleashed, the Jetli movie. Unbelievable. Oh, wait, dang it. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:13:07 What else is he great in? He's so good in Paris etem in his short. Yeah, he is great at that. He's a great actor. And he's so, never mind. I'm looking for one where he's wearing a wife beater and his chest hair's popping out. But I don't, I messed up the scene. He's one of those actors where they're like, they don't make him like this anymore.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Just wearing a tie. And he's just, look at that. He's who Joe Pesci thought he was. And talk about a movie that like, you could watch at any age and just take away, I have totally different experiences, you know? And the bad guy's scary as fuck. Doc Brown, dude, being the judge. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:38 It's been so long since I've seen this. It's such a wonderful movie. It's so fun. It's like he's a private eye and he takes photos and you think it's like Jessica Rabbit cheating and he's like, yeah, they were playing Patty Cake and then when you look at the photos, they were actually playing Patty Cake and then it's Roger Rabbit going, oh no, not Patty Cake. He's like, crush.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Like, how could you do this to me? I trust in her. It's such a fun movie. Great pick. Strider, you're up. I got to go. I'm going to expand the list here. I want to do something a little more.
Starting point is 01:14:13 You know, you think of an animated film. You think of your childhood. You think of these stories that are, you know, perhaps meant to instill values in us of, you know, our ancestors, a body, living a life that they would be proud of. Being brave, being honest, having integrity. a quest for who we are, are we born into an identity,
Starting point is 01:14:34 or do we stand against the world that we're in to find our true identity, maybe only to learn that it was there the whole time. But for this, I'm going, taking that all out, I'm going full on adult animation. I'm talking about the laughs. I'm going with the South Park movie. Oh, great pick, man.
Starting point is 01:14:51 This movie wasn't on any list. What a good pick. But I love it. It's my all time. Side Park, bigger, longer, and uncut. Wait, so was that beautiful preamble? about something else that you're not picking? No, it's about South Park.
Starting point is 01:15:04 That was a great pick, man. Great preamble. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. I'm all the preamble. This movie's hilarious. You know, in a time now, still this movie stands today.
Starting point is 01:15:14 It's about censorship. It's about, you know, we're in an era of censorship more than, more than ever right now. I mean, there wasn't a lot long ago where we were beefing with Canada a lot.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Yeah. It's kind of on the back burner right now. That is true. That was like, that was the thing. And this movie's great. You have it all. You have the,
Starting point is 01:15:29 you know, blame, Canada. You have just like, the way they handle everything, Operation Human Shield, unbelievably hilarious. Like everything is just incredible. Canada retaliates by blowing. Hey, Alec, what's bad about being a Baldwin? What? Nothing. Is this a word? Hey, when they go Operation Protect the Whites and they're just strapping black guys to the tanks.
Starting point is 01:15:50 And then Shep goes, have you heard of the Emancipation Proclamation? And then the general goes, I don't listen to hip hop. Yes. Amazing. dude uh dude the mall the kid that breaks them in oh dude with the french resistance i fucking hate godducks yes he's so good and dude uh yeah the devil's song is so funny
Starting point is 01:16:09 you have kim jong u the dad what's what's his name uh kim jong ill and then kim jong un in this one is he in this one or no no no that's team america oh yeah yeah fuck that's team america sorry this is uh it's saddam dude let's go oh that's right fire dude team america would be a good one but i don't think puppetry counts as animation i would exactly But the song, didn't blame Canada win an Oscar? Chris, it's such a fun song. It's such a fun song.
Starting point is 01:16:34 I think they did go the Oscars for you. And then it's because it's all about, because they see a Terrence and Philip movie and everyone starts cursing a lot. And Sheila Brovlovsky starts going at it for like censoring, yeah, censoring the kids. Yeah. And then they go on like death row. And then so they take away civil rights to protect the children, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:53 Genius, dude. These guys are genius, bro. They're dealing JTIs. this quote they do uh what is it like white belt moves with black belt precision yeah you do you want to do white belt moves with black belt skill yeah it's bj pen but i like to repeat it that's what they're doing here it's incredible and bigger longer and uncut was part of the title because you'd only seen south park where they bleeped everything out so it's finally one where you get to hear them say fuck and the whole premise is that kids start cursing way too much so it's just
Starting point is 01:17:22 it's the first 20 minutes of the movie it's just they've gone shut up you fucking pig fucking fuck dude it's so funny dude it's so funny it's so yeah the taints and talent malick's song is like Uncle fucker yeah uncle fucker
Starting point is 01:17:33 you're a bonner biting bastard uncle fucker you fuck your uncle yes you do you fucked your uncle yesterday it's so it's amazing
Starting point is 01:17:44 it's amazing it's amazing um dude this is great pick hilarious movie changed my life when I saw it as a kid it blew my mind
Starting point is 01:17:52 it's incredible and then Team America re blew my mind Same here, bro. It was my own hesitation with picking it, even though it doesn't count. It said, I do think Team America's better. No, it is a better movie. But, like, it's, but also South Park is so funny.
Starting point is 01:18:05 But this was animation. It was amazing. Yeah. Have you seen Trey Parker and Matt Stone doing it? They played Red Rocks doing the Team America song. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I would love that.
Starting point is 01:18:17 It's so fun. Dude, musically, those guys are, those guys are just unbelievable talents, man. Yeah. It's unbelievable. All right. I'm up. You know what? I don't even know if I'm going to pick a fifth movie.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Because it's because it's going to be so far. I think my top four is so strong. I think you could arguably say my top four are the four greatest animated films in history. I'm unbelievably happy to make this pick. For me, I could have picked a number one. Strata, you made a great pick when you picked Toy Story, but you said something interesting during your preamble. He said it might not be my favorite of the series.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Because we both know, because we saw it together. We saw 10 guys deep, 20-year-old men in the theater. We walked in, and we watched a movie called Toy Story 3, and we got our minds freaking blown. It's pretty amazing. And I talked about how they pay homage to old films. I mean, it's built on the Great Escape when they're at preschool. The bad guy is built on like Cool Hand Luke.
Starting point is 01:19:23 but what makes this the best toy story and maybe the best animated film of all time is that it takes on the heaviest of subjects and it does it with the truth and with an honesty that you won't see in adult films when those fucking toys are on their way to the incinerator and they realize they got no escape plan and that they're going to die
Starting point is 01:19:42 what do they do? They hold each other's hands and you can call it acceptance or you can call it something more than that and maybe that's all there is in life is that we're headed towards this end then we don't know what comes after. But the one consolation we have is each other
Starting point is 01:19:56 and we can make that choice to be brothers through it all. And when I saw that in Toy Story 3, it changed my life. And it changed some of our friends' life. One of our friends who saw the movie with us wrote his medical, his application for medical school based on Toy Story 3 and said, that's what doctors do.
Starting point is 01:20:12 We hold your hands at the end. Our buddy Tom. We've seen him on the pod. Did he really? Yeah. Wow. And yeah, I think... It's fire.
Starting point is 01:20:21 When that movie did that, I was like, I'm not watching a kid. kids movie, I'm watching something that's instructing me on how to live. And I think that's something that Pixar does that is so special. It really does you come away with it a better person. So I'm going Toy Story 3, baby. It's a great pick. This movie wrecked me. Yeah. And that's my beef with it is that they took these characters that I grew up with. They pretend like they're going to murder them off about three times in the movie. Every single time I'm bawling my fucking eyes out, thinking that this is me saying goodbye
Starting point is 01:20:54 to characters that I love. Then they make it, and I'm happy. And then they find a new home. And I say, it's perfect. What a perfect ending. And then a couple months later, they said, Toy Story 4 has been announced. I don't even talk about it.
Starting point is 01:21:10 And I said, how dare you put me through all that? Give me a perfect ending. And then say, oh no, cash grab inbound. Yeah. We're going to do it all over again. Fuck you. Ruined the movie for me. And I'm not even joking.
Starting point is 01:21:26 I don't like Toy Story 3 because of that. Well, you know, Tarantino refuses. I haven't seen four. Tarantino refuses to see four. I refuse to see four. We're in good company. He says the same thing. He says it was a perfect trilogy, best trilogy besides good, bad and the ugly.
Starting point is 01:21:39 He's with us 100%. Okay. It's like, it's just like, it's. And you know what? That's actually, I've done this before with movies. Cynical cast grab. Like, for me, like, because the last, I love the last Jedi. That's it.
Starting point is 01:21:51 I don't think. about Rise of Skywalker, even though I saw it. It doesn't exist to me. Because you know what you love something this much, sometimes you've got to decide what you're going to, like what you're going to choose to believe. And like, I'm, I can't, and then five, five's coming out soon.
Starting point is 01:22:04 The trailer just dropped. No, it's not. Star Wars Five. Oh, Toy Story Five. Toy Story Five. No, it's not. They're just going to, and then guess what, dude, when that thing's running out of juice,
Starting point is 01:22:12 they'll just pretend to murder them all. And then get you all, and then have you cry for the last 45 minutes, just blowing your fucking eyes out. And they'd be like, you know what, we're, Toy Story Six, coming, soon. I think this is
Starting point is 01:22:24 classic Disney you know what I think has kind of had a resurgence because of the place that movies are in currently I think
Starting point is 01:22:33 the Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy there are a lot of videos out there saying you know what it's actually a really good trilogy and then
Starting point is 01:22:42 no but they're saying that I got to revisit if you we got to re-watch it if you we got to sit down and watch
Starting point is 01:22:49 the second one and you're like is The Curse of the Black Pearl is a masterpiece in my opinion. How many houses do you need Andrew Stanton? Yeah. But then four and five is just... Oh, there's five pirates?
Starting point is 01:23:01 Yeah. Five wasn't bad. I've never seen four all the way through. I feel like, will they bring debt back if they do another one? I think they have to. They brought debt back in five, and then they tease bringing back Turner and Miss Elizabeth. You need it because one of the characters, one of the characters you've find out just at the end of the movie.
Starting point is 01:23:22 Orlando Bloom has a cameo at the end of five. And you're like, oh, we're getting the whole band back together, but then that movie didn't make enough money. Is the deep story that Black Pearl was a slave ship, and that's why Captain Jack gave it up? No, it's just, I've heard some mythos or some talk to mythology on that. I don't think there's anything in the movies that even hinted. And that's why the Indian Trading Company wanted it to keep rocking. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:23:44 I'm not sure about that one, but there's, there is like some backstory that. Very provocative. There's some backstory that the Black Pearl was. was sunk and um jack sparrow made a deal with davy jones to rise it from the depths and so that's why when barbosa is sailing on the black pearl there's fog around it because it's rightful captain isn't at the helm and then when jack sparrow was the captain there's no fog all right i'm up with the fifth pick and i pass no you got to take toy story five bro all right here we go i'm going I can't believe you went with the same film in my franchise.
Starting point is 01:24:21 I can't believe you did that. Why don't you just shoot straight and not play the game? It's going to hurt us both when Aaron Judges. Just so you know. If you've seen the movies, you know how valuable they both are to the canon. To me, it's Godfather, Godfather, too. I don't think they diminish one another. And I think dollars to donuts, if you had to put your life on the line,
Starting point is 01:24:40 hear Toy Story 3 guy. I'd rather watch Toy Story 3. You're right. Oh, man. It says, as I really am. But I can't. I want to be the foundation. I wanted to see what you guys would pick
Starting point is 01:24:50 because I didn't even I didn't even as much as we talk about movies I didn't realize and I definitely didn't know it for you that Toy Story 3 hits so hard for you boys We saw it together
Starting point is 01:24:59 You know with that time in my life I didn't know I did know This is beautiful though We were all singing for I think we watched Dude Tom was Tom was in our dumps We also watched Rango not far
Starting point is 01:25:16 of that and Tom did your review of that movie Big anime go. Yeah, he goes, Camelium with identity issues. Genius. It was incredible. That was what Reggie said.
Starting point is 01:25:25 That was his first pick when I was like, any suggestions? Rango, first one he popped out. Speaking of Johnny's up, too. Like, it's easy to wax nostalgic about your childhood. You know, everyone thinks they had the best Estenel cast. Everyone thinks they had the best music. Yeah. I don't know about any of that.
Starting point is 01:25:37 I think we for sure had the best animated run. Pixar's unreal. Because Pixar was raising the bar for everyone. So like DreamWorks and everybody else was doing their best shit trying to keep up. Go ahead. Take Fantibank. which you know that movie I would put that on and I'd be scared when I'd put the tape on I cried when I was like Mickey was controlling the water and then it gets out of hand
Starting point is 01:25:57 I would be like titillate and be like oh no but I would put it in but I remember putting in the VHS and being like oh fuck and like have like here we go like butterflies in my stomach but I would still put it on it scared me too much as a kid it is scary put me in a weird weird mood and just the the lighting of the animation it's dark you realize how necessary it is for like some of them to just throw curve balls to just get your little mind just to be like, what the fuck am I feeling right now?
Starting point is 01:26:24 You know what? Okay, I know what I'm going to pick. Because I know there's one movie I really want to pick and I want to do a spiel on it, but Chris, I know you're taking it. So I know it's safe. And I want to give it to you before you leave town. No, I know you're taking it. I don't know. All right, with my next pick, I'm going to sully my perfect list. This one isn't
Starting point is 01:26:40 as classic or as you know, storytelling or visually a step forward. But for me, it hit me at a time in my life where I was a drug addict I was addicted to webcam porn and I remember I posted about it that day and I said this is nourishing my fucking soul
Starting point is 01:26:55 I am going with Moana Oh yeah bro Yeah this is a fire movie And dude I gotta say I said this about Spiderverse This was a bad era and a good era for art The liberal agenda was in full swing And everything was identity politics
Starting point is 01:27:12 And for the most part it was bad art But Moana is the best feminist storytelling of my lifetime, absent Thelma and Louise. All right, you got a chick. She's brave. She's charting her own course in the face of tradition.
Starting point is 01:27:29 But not to take away from Moulin, but she wins by being masculine. She wins by being a good fighter, by beating the shit out of guys. Totally. Moana, she comes up to the big, heavy monster at the end. It's not a monster. It's not destroying the world because it's a hateful thing.
Starting point is 01:27:46 It's mother nature. It's the divine mother and it feels betrayed by humanity. And the way Moana wins is by understanding her and returning what was stolen. Yeah. When that scene hit and she gave her back her heart that man had taken and you saw her find peace and then the earth was restored, my body was restored. All right? I was webcam 24 hours a day. I was all fucked up.
Starting point is 01:28:15 And then this fucking movie came in here and told me it's so. Okay, brother, as long as we come with empathy, and we're willing to hear and we're willing to make amends, we can come back together as a people. And that's why Moana, because it helped me with my sex addiction, is the best animated film of all time. Dude, Jake, you just sit next to a family like, tweaking, straight tweaking, dude. Maui tries to take the power of creation, takes the heart of Tefiti, dude. Then freaking Tecah comes for it, but that's just a perverted version. Of Tefiti, dude, because they took her heart. And she sees that.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Also, when Moana decides to take the journey, she decides to go on the journey, dude, she's packing up shit to leave in the dead of night, thunder, lightning. And then who's standing in the doorway, her mom, she understands. And who was the one who originally put in her head that she should do this and that she could be the one to restore the heart of the ocean was her grandma, dude. It's the women all the way down that sea like, we need to put the war on. He's lost at sea. Yeah, you need to put the world back into balance.
Starting point is 01:29:21 The dudes are just like, no, it's fine. We'll just plant a new grove. It'll be fine. We'll be fine. You know, we don't get it, dude. We're blunt instruments. They have a, they have a feeling that we don't understand. It's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:29:32 And when the mom's standing there in the doorway, dude, I tear up every fucking time, dude. And look, your dad's a good guy. And Maui's a good guy, too. It takes balance. They're flawed. And flog. And when she, Jemaine's song, shiny, blew my mind, dude. When I saw that, I was like, this movie's amazing.
Starting point is 01:29:49 Well, I mean, it's got Lin-Manuel at his peak. I mean, between this and Hamilton, the guy was throwing 105 miles an hour. He was breaking the radar gun. And look, he burnt his arm out, but at that time, he couldn't miss, bro. He was the Randy Johnson of musicals. Yeah, he was dominant. He takes you all the way through the postseason. You're getting the gold at the end.
Starting point is 01:30:05 I watched this movie because Alex said he went camping. I missed it in theaters. He said, I went camping. I set up my tent. I took acid. I sat down on my laptop. I started Moana. I had never seen it.
Starting point is 01:30:16 And it was amazing. And then my laptop died. Middle of the night. He's camping alone. He said, I need to finish this movie. Packed up everything. No. Drove three hours home.
Starting point is 01:30:31 Finish the movie. And he's like, it's unbelievable. I went home that night and ordered it and we got to see this movie. And it was awesome, dude. It was so good. It was the only movie I let my niece, if I'm watching a football game, like Thanksgiving or whatever. and she's like, man, can we watch a movie?
Starting point is 01:30:48 What do you want to watch? She'd say if you maybe, she'd say, Moana, I'd go, all right, after this play. It's the only movie. I love that he's so check her, though, dude. Hold on, hold on. Oh, on, dude, I got to watch this punt. One more punt, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:30:59 All right, not much of a return. All right, let's put on Moana. Only movie, dude. It's so fun. I love this movie. And bro, when she reclaims her, her spirit and she's ready to take on the ocean and all that that entails,
Starting point is 01:31:10 and she just says, what does she say to the ancestors? I'm descended from the village chief. I am Moana Straight Haka style, bro Ha ha ha! Yes. All right,
Starting point is 01:31:27 start of Europe. That was fire, bro. That was fire, bro. All right, dude, with my fifth pick here, look, there's a movie that speaks directly to my heart that I want to take. There's also a movie that speaks directly
Starting point is 01:31:39 to filmmakers that I could take right now that's still on the list, that's creative, the animation genre to a degree here and very fun and then there's a banger movie that i think i should say for chris that i also want to take so i think it's more important to him he might not even take it though do you know what it is you know what it is bro i can't believe i got to help you here come over here what are you going to do without me you just call you a lot right there oh yeah yeah yeah come on you can see that it was the only one left in tier two so i might go with
Starting point is 01:32:15 The problem is that the one that speaks to my heart, I already have a Pixar movie on there. So, but they deserve it. They deserve it. They deserve it. They deserve all of them. But I could get like an old school one that I watched as a key. That's what I almost went.
Starting point is 01:32:28 That's what I almost went with the kids. There's one that's a seminal classic that I might do it because we're going to have to devote some time to one that's, that's, that's seminal for us too, but we never would have picked. I might take this. Let's just say it right now. Street fighter. Oh, no. I was going to say ants. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:44 No, I might have to take this. I think I'm going to go classic here because this one, well, I don't like this movie as much as the other Pixar one. And I think the other Pixar one is so fucking good. I'm going to take this one. No,
Starting point is 01:32:57 I'm going to take this one just for to have on the list. We know what you're doing. Oh, no, no, no, you pussy. No, no, no, I'm not doing that. It's kind of, it's kind of, honestly, it's more people we're talking about it walks a life. I like, I like pretending that I do. I'm going to go with the land before time.
Starting point is 01:33:10 Oh. This is an 80s classic. I should go one six or nine. Those are the best. Or argue with me. I'm going number one. I think 1989. You know, me and my wife always still quote.
Starting point is 01:33:23 I go, Petrie, why do you cry? It's just a great story about a kid who has to get home. Cute animation. Look at those lovable dinosaurs. The animation is classic. It's an epic journey. Yeah, dude, I mean, it's a fucking full feature length, just badass story of dinosaurs. As a kid, like, when I would go over to a sleepover, I was the most annoying kid. where I'd be like, let's watch the land before time.
Starting point is 01:33:47 Like you'd bring your own cassette? Yes. Like I would literally, yes, I had it. I would go everywhere with it. I don't remember these ones. It was a little bit, this is an unc pick. This is an old head. You know, straight up.
Starting point is 01:33:58 You are 15 years older than me. Fucking, dude. I should probably, I got to take a nap, dude. Brosky, but I'm honestly, I think if you were going unk pick, there's stuff that has more name cachet that would have carried you farther. I think you might be right. You know who loves this pick? I didn't realize.
Starting point is 01:34:11 My sister-in-law, she's like, I love those movies. Can I watch them. with your kid and I was like yeah but I was like oh you went personal yeah I went personal I loved him as a kid I don't remember them though yeah it's a simple story like the fucking long neck the little kid he's his
Starting point is 01:34:27 he has to get back to the great green valley it's kind of honestly the same story as Mad Max Fury Road to be quite frank all right with my pick I don't remember him you know I should I remember that I watched them all right I'm gonna go with
Starting point is 01:34:43 it's so funny the amount that aren't from when I was a kid but like I was 20 when this movie came out and it's an animated movie yeah but 20 is an impressionable time no that's true dude
Starting point is 01:34:57 there's been three of these movies they came out over the span of like I don't know 10 years same guy Alex that saw Moana seen all three of these movies with him in theaters dude pretty amazing I'm gonna go how to train your dragon exactly bang dude that's your movie dude
Starting point is 01:35:13 uh yeah i love this movie you love this movie the world building it's so fun real the cuteness of the dragon dude the first five minutes the last five minutes mirrored and it just shows you exactly how far we've come over the course of the movie in case you didn't know the best score ever it's so fucking the first time they fly together is one of the greatest scenes of all time animated not animated whatever one of the best scenes in entertainment in art it's so fun I would put the scene, that scene, when he first rides Toothless and the score from John Powell is playing, the song Forbidden Friendship, and it has that gentle marimba that starts to escalate as their intimacy gets closer. I would put that in terms of forbidden, chaste seductions or, or connections in my top three of all time. Here it is.
Starting point is 01:36:06 Number one, witness when they dance in the barn. Number two, How to Train Your Dragon. Number three, the end of Moonlight. Oh. They don't, nothing to physical, nothing crazy. It's forbidden. It's like,
Starting point is 01:36:22 because your list is good. And then this is the second list outside of the draft that you've come up with and they're nice. My kids are at home running around and I'm building lists. My wife says,
Starting point is 01:36:31 what are you doing? I go, this is my fucking job, dude. I build less. You're hitting me and I'm like, try and think of other ones,
Starting point is 01:36:38 but I can't do it because you name some good ones. And I'm like, maybe there's other ones. I know. I'm like, That's a solid list. I don't know if I'm going to argue with that.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Oh, and you know what? In the mood for love also has that. Movie. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, uh, well, the whole movie lost in translation. That's your, that's your, I was about to say. You're going to say the whole movie is basically that. You're a big loss in translation.
Starting point is 01:36:57 I am, I am. Uh, love how to train your dragon. Also, the action scenes, a fucking rule. Oh, it's incredible. I mean, the final fight with the, with the massive dragon is awesome. Unbelievable. What a big bad, bad. Think it.
Starting point is 01:37:08 The way that they take, the way that they take down that big all one. It sucks that the live action just came out, so the pictures are interspersed when Jake's Googling it. Dude, when I saw a live action, it was the biggest waste of time. I was like, it is the exact same movie. It's the exact same movie. It's like, great. You did it again, so it's solid, but why would I ever watch it when the animated one of this? Totally.
Starting point is 01:37:31 And I was like, aren't you going to make, maybe they're going to make the dragons like kind of like more real looking or whatever, like Game of Thrones type dragons, but they literally just have the exact same dragons. Really? With real people interacting with them? That's stupid. It's just not like different. It's not like the director came back. It's not like Jurassic Park, you know what I mean, where you feel like you could touch them. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:37:49 Like it's like they're still, but the movie is just so sick. I love it. I can really how to train your dragon land in Epic Universe. Pretty sick. Really? I'm excited. Apparently check it out. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:03 That's all I know. And like the night fury is so bad ass. These would all be your favorite. I haven't seen. You would love so much. I've seen. Yeah. Which, yeah, because we, we, I haven't seen Inside Out. I haven't seen
Starting point is 01:38:14 how to train your dragon. I mean, a lot of them I just don't remember. You'll like how to train your dragon inside out. I saw a self-prud movie. I think you'll really like kids. How to train your dragons very up your alley. Yeah, I think I think you're rolling a strike on it. I think you'll be really moved and like it's a fun. Yeah. Gerard Butler did. He's like he's like he's like he's the voice. He's the voice of the dad who's also the head of the village. He's got like a pussy's son. He's like a nerd who's like but he's a Viking culture it's hiccup Jay Barrichel
Starting point is 01:38:44 toothless is a dragon and he's like dad I don't want to like build things or hurt dragons he's like be a man fight and kill dragon I got my first dragon when I was 12 and his name but he's a good dad but he's a good dad but he just doesn't know how to relate to his son because he punches dragons and his son's like I built things and he's like and his name dude
Starting point is 01:39:00 Stoic the vast it's also kind of like suddenly about how like industrial power is stronger than like human power which is maybe a negative message in our contemporary times but you got to give it credit that's how it goes you know a similar kind of thing with like milana the each character using it one's inner strength in this one it's this nerd dick sun's uh engineering abilities and a engineering in his mind a lot of animation is about undermining classic masculinity it's also just having
Starting point is 01:39:25 just having an openness yes that those in your society may not have you know what he mean yes because he's the there are a society that kills dragons that's how they survive and he just says there has what if there was another way animation cures xenophobia and it has from the job. Yeah. A thousand percent. The outsider is your friend. The insider is corrupting. That Angry Birds movie looked like xenophobia wrapped up in a nice little boat. Oh, wow. Oh yeah. Picks from outside. Cuts you like the ice, dude. More annoying, a male feminist or a Mexican guy in ice? Whoa. I'm a feminist, so I got to go with the other one, dude. No big deal. God, that makes me more to punch you. Please don't. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:10 It's a real snapshot of newer childhood. Dude, look at it. Honestly, animation does take you so many different cultures. Lion King's in Africa, Spirit of Way, Japan, inside out, you travel within Moana. You're in Hawaii, Polynesian culture. Aladdin, we're in Arabia, you know. How to train your dragon? You're in Viking, Iceland.
Starting point is 01:40:31 Milan, China, Ratatouille, France. Spider-Man, New York. Wally, the Future. Snowlight and the seven doors. It's rape culture. Yeah. All right, last pick. Take this home.
Starting point is 01:40:42 This is one of my favorite animated movies. I loved watching it as a kid. I thought it was so clever. So original. Classic Pixar. Favorite character name, Mike Wozowski. Let me go with Monsters. Nice.
Starting point is 01:40:55 Oh, this is huge. I forgot about Monsters. I mean, it's just the idea of, like, they collect screams from children. It's so funny. And, uh, I mean, Mike Wisnowski, the doors, the sequence with the doors, where they're, like, just shuffling on and flying through the warehouse yeah yeah and it's just like the idea of like let's take monsters make them real and make them actually scare kids so that we can get their screens it's just and the way that they flip it by the end is so fun that's laughter yeah laughter's
Starting point is 01:41:27 way more powerful yeah beautiful and um it's uh I love you know I love the I love the animation this I love the look of the world and I love Mike Wazzowski with his little tie and all that kind I've never seen it. Who's the bad guy in? Oh, dude, Steve Bishemi is. Yeah. And he plays, and he plays like a slimy co-worker. He's like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:48 Oh, is he that guy, second robe? Yeah, he's Randall. Randall, and he can, look at that. That's a bad guy from a mile away. He's like a chameleon. Yeah. He can like go or go invisible. And it's also like, it's also them because, it's also like them becoming like
Starting point is 01:42:00 impromptu parents. Yeah. Is it a buddy cop kind of movie too or a buddy movie? It's a buddy movie for sure. Yeah, yeah. And what's their dynamic? They have to. Is it like Freak the Mighty, one's the smart one, one's the gentle giant?
Starting point is 01:42:13 Yes, exactly. But he's not like, and then they have to come to care for a child. But they also have to hide the child. Surrogate family? Yes. I'm in all day. And McCarthy, that's a huge storytelling trope for me. And here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:42:26 Win, win. It's great. It's great, JT. And here's the thing, they, the monsters, so they get the screams from kids. That's how they, that's their energy, right? They think kids are toxic. So they're, the, the monsters are deathly afraid of the kids. kids. Wow. So they've been fed a negative story about the kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is the same as
Starting point is 01:42:45 the dragon movie. Yeah, everything that we knew about you is all wrong. That's a direct quote. Do the minions come out of this movie? Did this birth a whole other franchise? No, no. Dispigable means. Dispickable me. Yeah. Okay, sorry. Can we do an ants, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is big. As far as the bug movies go, there was ants and a bug's life. We went full on in an ants because we were big Woody Allen heads at the time. We didn't know. Okay. And they have that great sequence of the Army Ants Marching. Yeah, when they fight the termite suit, Danny Glover goes down. So, J.T., we watched it in a hotel room, and he's like, let's fight.
Starting point is 01:43:19 I'm Cutter. Christopher Walken's character, the only one that can fly. He's like, pick a character. He wanted me to pick Danny Glover or the bad guy, Gene Hackman, the general guy. And I kept going, I'm Z. His buddy Allen's good. You're like, no, I don't want to fight that guy. And he kept asking me for like an hour.
Starting point is 01:43:34 I'm Z. I don't know what I thought about that, like, a week ago. And I told Becca that story. I'm just like, you wanting to wrestle and me being like, I pick the weak character. Come wrestle me and you're like, you're taking the fun out of it for me, dude. Pick one of the badasses and let me beat you that way. It'll be a fair fight.
Starting point is 01:43:49 That was tough, dude. Do you know, we didn't have any space jam on here? I thought about putting that. Oh, Jake put that up on his list. Space Jam. Space Jam is fire. Oh, Jake has a great list. So Jake, you got Cars, Space Jam. Cars is a bad first pick. But then you got Space Jam, Incredibles, the Goofy Movie, and Up? This is a good list.
Starting point is 01:44:06 Incredible. It's a list. The Parmeys. Little Mermaid, yeah. I thought you were going to go Beauty and the Beast. I was going to at one point. Beating the beast is incredible. That's the first one.
Starting point is 01:44:15 That's the first one. Coco's two-sacion. That's the two-sad one, right? Exactly. Elevated the whole genre. Yeah. Which one? Beauty and the Beast.
Starting point is 01:44:22 Yeah, so amazing. I was also going to go Prince of Egypt. Oh. Inside Out and Coco. Look at your life through heaven's eyes. I struggled to rewatch inside out of Coco because they're so emotionally taxing. Bro, I watch it out of a plane. That's a lot of Pixar.
Starting point is 01:44:35 That's all, Pixar will take you maybe too deep sometimes. Like, like, it's the ship. The wrinkles on Mama Coco's face are so good. And I have to like, I have to like get like, like, we're going to watch Coco. It's going to be like really, really moving. Okay, you got to be ready for it. And dude, remember me? Oh, beautiful.
Starting point is 01:44:53 I mean, I would put that, I would put that as maybe the second best like heartfelt animated song behind Toy Story and Randy Newman. Surf's up. Surf's up. Oh, Surf up is great. I love that movie. That's a really good one. I got to see.
Starting point is 01:45:07 Oh. We lived in the greatest era. The Lego movie. I love the Lego movies. I need to see Kung Fu Panda. Oh, Kung Fu Panda is amazing. Dan Harmon wrote on that. Did he really?
Starting point is 01:45:17 Kung Fu Panda, number two is really good too. Kung Fu Panda, and then I saw four, it was okay. I haven't seen three. The first one is spectacular. They do such a good job in the Kung Fu Panda movies of making the bad guys interesting. Dan Harmon wrote on Kung Fu Panda. Guess he wrote on the first Toy Story. So the Pixar guys, all legends, and Joss,
Starting point is 01:45:38 Weedon and Joel Cohen. Beast, bro. I mean, I know people do rewrites on scripts all the time, but the talent level was just through the friggin' roof, dude. Did you guys see Super Mario Bros movie? I haven't seen it. No. Peter Pan.
Starting point is 01:45:55 We probably got to apologize to the anime fans, too. Yeah, I've seen Akira. Didn't really do much for me. No. Ghost in the Shell. I haven't seen the original Ghost in the Shell animated one. but you know when it comes to animated movies for the most part I want like a lot of
Starting point is 01:46:11 heart and it's for a kid but I kind of like them more as an adult yeah I want I just want like I just want kind of like simpler more like aimed at children thing that's what I want out of anime Pixar is kind of the gold standard for me so things kind of flow out of that what I want
Starting point is 01:46:28 you know what I mean I really want it to tug at the heartstrings those are my favorites so apologies to like anime fans out there I just probably wasn't going to pick several although I'm sure that There are some that... Well, and for me, a lot of the... My favorite anime, which to me is, like, one of the most expressive art forms I've ever seen. Like, I mean, pure id.
Starting point is 01:46:47 You're just getting, like, sexual ideas and, like, just the fluidity of the mind. And everything's just breaking ground. It's like a friggin' 1970s, you know, Upper East Sideplay. But the ones that I like the most were the TV shows. Roroni Kenshin about samurai. Amazing. And then, dude, there was this one, revolutionary girl. tenna about a prep school with chicks
Starting point is 01:47:10 and then they have a heaven space where they duel and argue and like when you lose you turn into like a blueberry I mean it's like straight out of like Michael Jackson's dreams it's bizarre but like in the coolest way where your mind is just like literally I would say that's the difference between the Japanese stuff and Pixar is that Pixar
Starting point is 01:47:27 makes you understand your brain and Japanese stuff opens your brain something I wrote yesterday what was I going to say Hercules. Bro. That was tough to leave off. Zero to hero, no time flat, good song.
Starting point is 01:47:43 And one of the songs that, along with the Moulon one, that uplifts me to be a stronger dude is, I can go the distance. Yes. I know every mile. Oh, I remember when the, J.T., do you remember at the city council when the Coco people sang? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They sang remember me. They sang remember me.
Starting point is 01:48:04 We were at the L.A. City Council and they sang remember me for the council. Awesome. Yeah. Have you guys seen Coraline? Yeah, I love it. People love that one. It's really good.
Starting point is 01:48:13 It's scary. It's like my wife's favorite movie. It's good. It's interesting. I like the little scoring Coraline too. It's nice. It's like, it's just funny when like kids movies are fucking terrified. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:24 Like the ladies with the dogs. They keep. The bad lady. Oh my gosh. Dude, the bad lady is terrifying with the beats. Bad lady is an animated scarier than bad dudes. Like the bad lady and spirited away.
Starting point is 01:48:36 Oh, bro. Yeah. I'm like, don't, you're scared of that way. Did we mention Iron Giant? No. And I watched that this weekend, too, as prep. It's very good. The visuals are stunning.
Starting point is 01:48:47 Yeah. When that giant first sees the kid and you just see the eyeballs, I mean, whoever was storyboarding that thing, Brad Bird just, it's just, it was fun saying. He's got the history of art in his head at all times and it's coming through his fingers. I watched Lilo and Stitch for the first time the other day with a little one. It's so fun. Yeah. Also, Bing Rain's so cute, dude.
Starting point is 01:49:06 Like, Ving Rames pops up, I'm like, he didn't tell me Ving Rans was in this movie. I want to watch this shit 20 years ago. The Street Fighter animated one that we loved? Oh, man. It was, I think it was called Street Fighter 2, but I don't know what it was a sequel to. But it was Ken and Rye, you were the main characters that they take on General Bison. And it's so fucking sick. It was great animated movie.
Starting point is 01:49:28 Amazing. It was such a fun. Cloudy with the chance of meatballs never hit me. I never watched it. I never watched it. The Rugrats movie. Never seen. Had that great Black Street song.
Starting point is 01:49:38 Take me there. I want to go there. Take me there. How do you remember all that place? Because fifth grade, we played it at the end of auditorium. I started dancing. I asked Jesse Cephalo. I'm like, what is this from?
Starting point is 01:49:49 She's like, the Rugrats movie. Her brother, Kyle, could cut a rug. Ended up playing baseball at Boise State. You know, I hate it, I hate it Rugger. I hate Tommy. It was like, wipe your fucking nose. Yeah. Too weird.
Starting point is 01:50:00 I hate his voice. Yeah. Maybe mad. Get a job. You know what's funny is, you know what's funny is. look at the parents they're supposed to be like 30 they look like they're like 50 yeah maybe that's what our kids will say about us though I know you look 2000 dad yeah let's call Aaron also a little bit right now choice K-pop demon hunters thought about putting
Starting point is 01:50:19 that on there bro that's bumping right I haven't seen it oh dude it's super fun you should watch it dude you love that movie it's really fun let me make sure I got you're the saddest man I ever seen am I gonna get fourth again this was a I just I deserve to get forth my knowledge. So I gave you a day runway on this. I told you it's my bro's last draft and we're drafting and animated. So did you do any research?
Starting point is 01:50:46 Me? Or did you at least like, okay, never mind. All right, so did Jake send you the list? Certainly. Did Jake send you the list? Yes, I've got the list. All right. All right, you need a recap?
Starting point is 01:50:58 Yep. Okay, we've got the Lion King, Spirited Away, Inside Out, Toy Story 3, Moana. Then we've got Toy Story, Aladdin, The Nightmare Before Christmas, the South Park movie, bigger, longer, uncut, and the land before time. Then we've got Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse, Rattatooey, Mulan, Who Frame Roger Rabbit, How to Train Your Dragon, and Then Finally, Finding Nemo, Shrek, Snow White, and Seven Dwarves, Wally, Monsters, Inc. Fucking great list all the way through, guys. We did good. the good list now
Starting point is 01:51:38 Aaron doesn't like what was what was the discussion I was curious about this what the discussion would be around who frame Roger Rabbit I think we thought it
Starting point is 01:51:47 the threshold was like is it like 80% animated I guess because how many live action characters are in is it just Bob Hoskins there's a mix it's kind of like
Starting point is 01:51:56 we didn't even really discuss it we just kind of said it was 80% yeah yeah we said it was okay like a movie like Avatar car wouldn't be okay let me see what it's defined as online feel like in the
Starting point is 01:52:11 business I call them hybrids the movie space jam probably would be lean obviously more animation with people I think that's animated yeah so I'm into it yeah we thought it was all good no pushback on that anyone was push bar a genre okay I'm drunk so I wasn't being as like yeah it was a bend for sure I'm horny so I was chill I was a I forgot Zemeck is directed it. What a ledge, dude. Guy can do it wrong. One of the best.
Starting point is 01:52:41 Robert. Yeah. That's definitely a movie that you have a boner for. Oh, probably not sure. For sure. That's all we talked about. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:52:56 I am ready to rule. I've had this list for a little bit, and I've narrowed it down. um all right now I don't like Spider-Man if the Spider-verse whoa
Starting point is 01:53:12 I kind of hate the animation style it kind of made my head hurt it's safe travel so I'm just going to come out and say that right off the bat this is ball in our minds movie Lulan is a
Starting point is 01:53:30 A bit of a deeper cut Oh God, you hate this And you already had issue With his frame rubber, Roger, yeah Roger Rabbit is good I just wanted to see what the room thought I love it
Starting point is 01:53:41 And how to train your dragon It's actually really good But yeah, I gotta go I gotta go this list That was my brother's list He's the one who's leaving town forever He's his last draft It's also my birthday
Starting point is 01:53:55 Yeah, it's your birthday Dude, it's your birthday, you crazy, son of a bitch. We didn't even realize it's Chris's birthday right now. Oh, I knew. I don't know where I forgot. What a way to go out, dude. Happy birthday. Thank you, dog.
Starting point is 01:54:12 It's good luck. Fourth on your birthday is good luck. Hey, look, I've won some. I've lost some. It's all just, it'll all balance out. You've had a great run. What am I going to do when he comes out and says that he doesn't like spider? yeah exactly
Starting point is 01:54:26 it's my first overall pick it's my first pick we did have we did say that was a little early too like we all love
Starting point is 01:54:33 that movie but we said maybe this was early no I said it was early and then you guys like no that's great pick
Starting point is 01:54:39 you know honestly if you look at this it is that high really yeah it's awesome yeah
Starting point is 01:54:45 I don't know I mean I mean I would have been the great number one there yep or who frame
Starting point is 01:54:53 just to fully lean into the band but you know you're an order guys these are good lists i got to make choices no there's no hard feelings baby yeah we're usually right there we're usually sympathetic so this is it's astonishing i kind of thought that was striders list but dude i'm so glad you didn't give me forth i was so ready for it oh thank god all right with my next pick the big guy
Starting point is 01:55:21 Again, this is just because I think these last three are really strong. But for my third, my third, I've never seen Spirited Away. And I know people love, I know people love Miyazaki. This is insane. Lion King, great, number one pick, inside out, great. Toy Story 3, phenomenal film. Still makes me cry. Mawanna is a good roundout.
Starting point is 01:55:51 But because the other two are so strong for me, I've got to go with this list third. Aaron, your credibility is entirely in question right now. I want you to know that. Okay. If you give, my list is completely chalk, all right? These movies are not only incredible watches on their own, but they were a leap forward for storytelling for the entire animation genre. You are going to be investigated.
Starting point is 01:56:14 We're going to go on the question if you've been talking to these guys offline. I could see an issue with Payola here. There was a lot of problems with you picking this third, brother. And this is going to be a can around your tail for a long time, and I do not forget. Aaron, I think you're- I think you're crushing it right now, Aaron. It's not my first step in the controversy, guys. I will be okay.
Starting point is 01:56:36 You know, you're strong. You love it. Aaron's a steel wall. Yeah, he's not going to. You can't break him. Remember, he doesn't like money ball. Yeah, he'll be, yeah, he was going to get bald photos from me every day for a while. Just your ball?
Starting point is 01:56:47 Yeah, just one nut. Just one nut? Just one nut. But you'll know it's a nut. You know what? One day down the line, Aaron's going to watch Spirited Away with his lovely daughter
Starting point is 01:56:54 and he's going to go. Damn, that's fucking good. Yeah, I can't wait for you to watch Spirited Away and cry your fucking eyes out and cry me about how your mind's been blown and your whole perception of reality is different
Starting point is 01:57:02 and you're going to call me and I'm going to take to shove it up your ass, man. If that happens, I will let you know and I will accept you. Yeah, yeah. Well, you go watching, man. It's on Amazon Prime for $3.99. I love what Aaron's doing it.
Starting point is 01:57:19 Thus far, I love what Aaron's doing. Well, keep going, baby. Now, for my number two, uh, my number two has my favorite animated movie on the list. Anyone want to take a stab of what that is? Nightmare before Christmas. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:40 Could call, Chad. No, that should have been in. Uh, way before time. What was that, Chris? Wally. Yes Whoa That is my number two
Starting point is 01:57:52 It pains me to do it But I think Finding Nemo Shrek Snow White Wally Markleman Stop going Everyone suck my dick
Starting point is 01:58:02 Stop getting that Sorry Sorry I can't I keep on No it's good Keep doing it You deserve
Starting point is 01:58:07 My number one Is Toy Story Alad Night before Christmas This fucking Cock sucking Motherfucker Let's go baby
Starting point is 01:58:14 Are you serious Aaron you get it You Because you get it Wait I want to hear about this though, Aaron. I want to hear about why. Despite my
Starting point is 01:58:21 friend's persona, I must know why. Toy Story story being the huge lead forward computer generated graphics. The amazing cast. I mean, it sets the whole thing off. I still think you've got a friend of me all the time.
Starting point is 01:58:37 So do I. Aladdin, obviously, Robin Williams. Amazing performance. Night before Christmas making stop motion kind of come back for a little bit. and kind of bridging the gap between Christmas and Halloween. Is it a Christmas movie Halloween movie? You know, it's great.
Starting point is 01:58:53 You've got South Park, obviously super funny and edgy. And then you rounded out with a Don Bluth. Thank goodness someone recognizes Don Bluth. I love Don Bluth, which is a heartbreaking movie, certainly at the start. You could have gone American Tale there, and I would have still loved it. Oh, my God. Why don't you guys just both do a draft called We're .
Starting point is 01:59:20 I mean this is ridiculous No one gives a fuck about the land before time It's been lost in time All right Aaron to celebrate I'll bring you a pistachio ice cream Next time to celebrate Get a room
Starting point is 01:59:32 This is provocative in the ugliest way Also he's Strider has a fake mustache on And he keeps smiling weird with it And it's pissing me off Strider had a good list It was a good list I didn't see this coming
Starting point is 01:59:45 But that's what we do it right We don't know how it's going to go. We thought, we thought, Aaron. I think if the, I think if the other list goes Shrek, then Finding Nemo, he's an order guy, see? He's a huge order guy. He's an order. Shrek overfinding Neal. I don't know about that, Aaron.
Starting point is 02:00:03 What if you went Wally first? I think so. Wally dropped. Shrek is a meme now, but like, because it was so huge and so, it was massive. But was it bigger than finding, Finding Nemo was the biggest I felt like. They're kind of on par with each other, I would say. Didn't Finding Nemo like reinvigorate the Pixar franchise? Like they had bangers with Toy Store.
Starting point is 02:00:24 Shrek does a fucking Matrix joke. It's so hack. Honestly, I didn't want to say, Shrek is sucks. It's hack as fuck, dude. It's got hack bits for days. It's like doing like, you know, what happened yesterday. It's the soup. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 02:00:39 I got to say. Okay. D.T. Yeah. Sorry. The Lion King. Sorry to break their balls here. the lion king is hamlet so it's been done we we praise that though god it's hamlet it's only you know
Starting point is 02:00:51 the greatest story ever told from the greatest writer in human history i mean come on what are we reverberating here history doesn't repeat it rhymes brother amen and it's fresh it's fresh no man i just like to get pissed off man i'm just sad my brother's moving and you picked him fourth place which made me happy though it's funny it's good Aaron you nailed it's good i love you so much man you nailed it but if i see you dude i'm coming for both your legs you're going to be on your back brother it's on site dog aaron just let me know butterscotch or a pistachio whatever you want I got you brother me and you bro we're gonna go to the sauna together all right thank you Aaron thanks Aaron thanks
