Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.
So yeah, we are going to watch Indiana Jones, and then we are going to talk about it while we do it. And that's it. So it's on Netflix. Everyone have it pulled up?
Yep. I'll count down from three after I say three, two, one, go. Hit play. I'll give the chat a second here.
Three, two, one.
Indiana Jones.
There we go.
We actually reviewed on our podcast, we reviewed Crystal Skull not that long ago.
Oh, God.
What did you say about it?
It is, in fact, a movie.
Not many great things.
I want to say something to start here.
Okay, so we're all seeing this first shot.
This is my favorite movie of all time,
and I compare it to a perfect game in baseball.
This movie is like a perfect game in the World Series,
and everything has to be perfect,
and that first shot is already perfect.
It's like, okay, you've still got a perfect game going from frame one. It's just perfect. It's like, okay, you're still got a perfect game going from frame one.
All I think about
is what
is this movie with Tom
Selleck in the lead role?
That's who they wanted. They
offered the role to Tom Selleck
and CBS
picked up Magnum P.I.
because
they have this pilot, Magnum P magnum pi and they picked it up
because spielberg and lucas wanted tom sellick oh my god that's crazy it's still a good movie
not even close to my favorite it's a it's a good movie yeah yeah it's good there's a bunch of those
weird things like what does the matrix look like with will
smith is neo smith yeah he doesn't want to do wild wild west that would have been good too
yeah it probably would have been
so we were talking right before we went live and david you told us that you saw this movie
10 times in theaters this summer it came out. That's an unbelievable statistic.
David might be frozen.
Oh, we got him.
We got him? We got him.
David, can you hear that?
Slightly frozen.
Yeah, did you hear that?
No, I missed it. Go ahead. Now I can hear you guys.
So you saw this movie 10 times
the summer it came out, you told us.
We got an internet problem.
Oh, is it me?
Yeah.
What did you say?
15 times.
We've actually done a couple interviews cross-country to L.A.
L.A. internet problems have become a thing that we've ran into with almost every time we've hooked up with someone. Oh boy.
Yeah.
It's those,
it's those tight quarters in Brentwood.
Yeah.
Literally.
Yes.
I'm trying to reduce the size of my Alfred Molina.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My lookalike.
Alfred Molina King.
King.
I love that guy.
Yeah.
He's awesome.
Yeah.
Robbie, what's the most times you've seen a movie in
theater because i know you have me beat so man this is like the chat is gonna not like half the
chat's gonna hate me for saying it but it's probably uh the last jedi i think yeah last
jedi i think i saw seven or eight times oh and i know i know people aren't going to like
that. I was a fan, people. I liked
it.
I'm happy when somebody can enjoy
You saw it seven or eight times really well.
Yeah.
Somebody enjoyed it.
I got cut off during the
Tom Selleck. I just wanted
to let everybody know Tom Selleck's audition
is on YouTube. Oh, I didn't know that. I just want to let everybody know Tom Selleck's audition is on YouTube.
Oh,
I didn't know that.
I've never seen it.
Yeah.
So he did,
he did it with Sean Young.
So basically if George Lucas got the first choice for star Wars in Indiana,
John Harrison Ford would have no career.
Yeah. He wouldn't have Von,
he wouldn't have Indy.
He wouldn't be Harrison Ford.
No,
not at all,
but sort of. Yeah. He probably still be Harrison Ford. No, not at all. But sort of.
Yeah, he's probably still fine away.
But you also wonder,
again,
Tom Selleck walks into this shot.
Is this like Sam Jones
and Flash Gordon when we never see him again?
Or does it stay a good movie?
No, God,
don't do S Selick like that.
Sam Jones in Flash Gordon
is just one of the worst.
Selick is decent.
He was good in movies.
The bones of this movie are so good,
I think he could make it.
It wouldn't have been as good.
Yeah, I think it would have been fine.
His voice would have cracked
whenever he said, Marion!
I'll stop talking about Tom Sawyer.
Marion!
Someone in the chat said he would be a
weed-healing carpenter, which is the funniest
way to put Harrison Ford.
Yeah.
He would be.
Just maybe the best
first sequence
in movie history.
I was just about to say, like, talking about a perfect game, like, this entire sequence.
It's still going.
It's still going.
Also, this sequence in South America, which was shot in Hawaii, is actually the last sequence they shot.
Oh, really?
So all that outdoor and the jungle stuff is actually the last
the last days of shooting
so like his
he's been playing Indiana Jones for months
already and it
helps the opening of the movie
because the character is fully inhabited
that's very true yeah
even just like these subtle
lines back and forth
like he just gets the character so well.
Stay out of the light.
I always love the fake body they have for Melina later.
Yeah. It's a good one.
It's amazing. It's a solid fake.
The
spiders
really freaked
Molina out, and I guess they
also freaked the crew out.
They started running everywhere, and people were
running for their lives from the spiders.
I mean,
I still can't.
I hate insects. That's my biggest thing.
I can't look at the screen when they're on there.
Yeah, they're bad.
It makes me pick my feet up from wherever I am.
This is so clever to me, this light thing.
I just love this.
Yeah.
This is the first full count, though, in the perfect game.
That is clearly a set.
Oh, yeah.
He gets them out.
It looks like a Disney World ride queue is what it looks like.
Yeah, it's the stunt show.
Rest in peace to the one guy who died in that one time.
What's that?
Died in the Indy stunt show?
Yeah, the Indy stunt show.
If you go there, if you go to that, you hear someone whisper that in the crowd every time you go.
I actually didn't see it. I hadn't been in a while, and I went last year. I hear someone whisper that in the crowd every time you go. I actually didn't see it.
I hadn't been in a while, and I went last year.
I actually did not go to the Indiana Jones thing, unfortunately.
So do you guys like this one more than Last Crusade?
Because Last Crusade is my favorite still.
Come on.
Well, Last Crusade is a great movie.
I love Last Crusade.
But this, to me, is just a different level.
This is like, you can talk about movies like The Godfather,
and you just can't do that with Last Crusade.
What do you think, David?
All right.
Internet's tough, man.
Yeah.
What a good sequence this is.
I just love Sean Connery.
So is Alex in in Breaking Up?
Oh, was I?
I lost you there, but it might have been me.
But the thing about Last Crusade, which is kind of connected to this film,
is the way Spielberg had wanted to do a Bond movie.
And Lucas said, well, I got this other idea.
So this is Spiel is spielberg's
period bond movie and so the idea that like sean connery is his dad i thought was just very very
kind of cool yeah that's super interesting i've said for a while that i feel like indiana jones
would be interesting as an american james bond in that like what if you recasted him and just did every
few years you did like an Indiana Jones story
how would you guys feel about that
as like diehard indie guys like are you like
don't recast and we don't want to see anyone but Harrison
I mean I'm up for it and if they could
make it good I'd be into it
I like Mandalorian I like new
things
new things just have to be good.
No, I think also like,
that's right.
I mean, it's like,
there's some really great Bond movies
and there's some really terrible ones,
but there's some really great ones.
It's like,
and everyone's trying to be like,
this is just such a great character.
Like there's gotta be so many more stories
like that you could dive into.
I would love to see it.
Yeah.
I think James Mangold's gonna do a great job with this franchise if they actually handed it over to him. I would love to see it. I think James Mangold's going to do a great job with this franchise
if they actually handed it over to him.
I think he would be a great person.
What a heel turn from
Molina.
He's used to it.
I mean, he does it. That's what he's good at,
his heel turns.
This is definitely one of his
first screen roles. He was a theater actor.
Definitely one of his first credits, I would say, at least.
It was this, then Bram and Alice.
I knew David would laugh.
I tried to get on Bram and Alice.
Me too.
Me too.
I love that fake corpse, man.
That's a great fake Molina corpse.
I wish I could buy that somewhere.
Like people have the Han and Carbonite on their wall.
If you could just put that on your wall.
Is that a dead body?
No, it's just Alfred Molina's corpse.
I leave it here in my den for decoration.
It shakes like rubber too.
David, any stories about the ball?
I can't.
I don't know.
What did you say?
I said, do you have any stories about the ball?
I guess not.
So when this movie came out, it sparked all sorts of nerd conversations.
One of the nerd conversations is,
why doesn't he just go back into the cave instead of running in front of the ball?
Why doesn't he just go back in
and let the ball go over him?
And the answer is,
because he'd be sealed in the cave.
Yeah, exactly.
That's Harrison Ford doing this.
This is a stunt.
I mean, he's doing this stunt.
There's no...
Joey's here. What's up, Joey? What's up, boys up joey what's up boys joey how's your virtual graduation oh you know high school graduation on a friday
night nothing better you know what role we just because we were talking about uh uh crusaders for
a bit i love sean connery andy in Highlander. Just such a weird
deranged role for Sean Connery. I love
Highlander so much. I love his role
in that so much. It's such a tremendous
movie.
It's a really interesting movie, Highlander.
I like it a lot. I've seen it
on par with

They were shooting Jurassic Park.
Now they can't hear you.
We can't hear you.
No, we can.
Jurassic Park.
Everybody's frozen.
Oh, all right. You can tell, if you can't hear you. Everybody's frozen. Oh, all right.
You can tell if you can't hear.
If you tell him, the phone might be better, too.
It's like phone service.
You can do the same link.
Hamill773 mentioned him in Starship Troopers.
Great role in Starship Troopers.
Where he throws the knife right into the guy's hand.
What do I need a gun for?
Or what do I need a knife for if I can just press a button
for a nuke? He throws the knife and it goes
into the guy's hand.
What is that from? Clancy Brown in Starship Troopers.
Oh, right, right, right.
That movie's way ahead
of its time.
Clancy Brown's been
in a lot of random things lately too.
Mm-hmm.
Oh. We got you, David?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
The Jurassic Park.
It's still the Jurassic Park fact, so bad.
I just want to know.
What were they doing in Jurassic Park?
What was happening?
This is good.
The writing on the eyelids here.
So great.
Classic.
Hey, Jeff, can you flash?
What's the time here?
On the movie.
Oh, yeah.
13.
Okay.
Yeah, tell Malik to use his phone service.
I did.
Okay.
I texted him.
Dude, Harrison Ford in this suit right here, this three-piece suit.
Rocket.
Yeah.
Rocket.
He's an underrated part of this movie.
He seems like kind of a boring teacher.
Yeah.
Like, probably wouldn't be getting the eyelids if not for the looks right
i remember even as a kid i was like damn he's getting that like the that's pretty that's that's
wild and even his reaction to it there was like not even that smooth right i'm like dude he would
be all over that he's a little bumbling he's a little bumbling
in this in his professor outfit
we are with joey here joey and so he may call you in for reinforcement on on tuesday
we're doing star wars trivia for the first time on tuesday night and we're taking on uh we're
gonna do a little like exhibition matchup against Alex Damon
from Star Wars Explained, very popular
YouTube channel. Yes. Robbie,
we're going to get fucked up.
It doesn't matter if we get bad.
I think it should be the same, but I would
love to be a part. I think Joey, Robbie,
Kendrick are going to team up to take on Alex Damon
who, if they get one question wrong,
it's over because he will steal every question.
Okay. I got homework. I'm just watching that channel for the next three days
that's the number one channel i go to if i need something their channel is called star wars
explained but legit like explained it's very quick it's like three minutes boom here's the
extra canon lore shit.
You didn't know about that.
We looked into that.
You don't have to.
I'm going to retweet the periscope link again,
guys.
If you want to just fire people know to join.
Yep.
I know David would just be frothing at the mouth telling us where these actors are from.
We've got to get him back in here just for the Jurassic Park thing.
I mean Jurassic Park.
How did that relate?
He left us hanging. that suit looks so warm that harrison ford is wearing crazy warm
i watched um the gq i think maybe yeah i think I think GQ timeline of Harrison Ford's career
earlier this week.
It was like a 25-minute thing.
Harrison Ford was like walking through his timeline of his career.
Yeah, I like that.
If you haven't seen it, it was an interesting – it was a good watch.
It was real good.
Yeah, he's done a few good things.
How many times did you guys reference do you think indiana jones and family guy um i don't know maybe half dozen you guys you guys spoofed the opening scene right
top men did yeah top men i don't know if did we not when i was there not that i remember david again is
good at that stuff an invaluable resource now that he's cut off if i if i know him a little
bit he just walked away angrily you guys did a top men part right i'm almost positive yeah that
sounds right and then yeah we did something where somebody was
locked in the big warehouse
at the end.
Let's see. We may have him back.
Hi.
All right.
All right.
I think the internet will be better up here.
Oh, I found it. Family guy
top men reference.
Oh, wait. Let's talk about this actor,
the fat guy.
See, I knew it.
He's Porkins.
He's Porkins in Star Wars.
He is.
He died at like 57.
He's like 30 in this movie.
But he's like, there are all these American actors who lived in London,
and they were in all these movies that shot in England. So like John Ratzenberger, this guy's in Flash Gordon, he's in
Star Wars, he's in, you know, all these other movies. And it's like, why? You know,
it's because he lived in England, but he's great. I mean, he's terrific in this movie.
Yeah. Same with the other guys sitting next to him. These are both sort of American guys
who live in London, which is where this was being shot it's so funny david while you were gone i
said oh i'm i know if david were here he'd be frothing at the mouth to tell us about these
it was perfect it was almost like comedic timing it was uh i mean he's great he's terrific in this these guys are both great and there's
you go ahead i love this thing that happens in a lot of movies where they come with this like
preposterous crazy problem and then the minute harrison ford starts going remember the arc of
they start rolling their eyes
talking about all this other insane shit yeah that's like my favorite uh reference from the
family guy star wars is when he's like oh you don't believe in the force han do you and he's
like oh you mean the thing you just started believing in five seconds ago alec wrote that
joke but it was my idea so good david what was the jurassic Park fact you were trying to tell us?
So there was this hurricane hit during the filming of Jurassic Park
and the cast and Spielberg
were all trapped and Kathleen Kennedy
was trying to figure out a way to get off
the island before the hurricane hits
and this guy comes up and he says
Hi, remember me? I'm Jock from Raiders. I can
fly you out. And he flew out
the whole cast.
That guy was a real pilot. That's why from raiders i can fly you out and he flew out the whole cast like the actual job
that he was a pilot that's why you know that's why he's so even his one line oh come on show
a little backbone will you is so terrible yeah he's not an actor yeah and it's clearly
it was it was it was clearly ADR.
I cannot see.
I believe that this is Porkins.
I can't see Porkins.
Yeah, it's him.
I don't know why.
He's good.
He's a good actor.
Might be having to do it. He has no helmet on either.
That might be it.
And Flash Gordon, he's Han zarkov's assistant yes munson munson oh by the way david i don't know if you know this you're talking to the world's
number one futurama fan right here oh is that right the absolute number one it was we have a
trivia show at barstool and that was one of my categories for a long time and i destroyed people
so bad in it that no one would call in for it.
We did three challenges.
Three challenges, you didn't get beat, and no one called in again for it.
No one ever called in.
I'm not that good at it.
Him and I, we got rid of Star Wars after two weeks.
We were like, no one's going to challenge us in Star Wars.
This shot right here through the house, it doesn't even have to be a great shot, but it is.
Oh, I know.
I know. His place looks great.
Yeah. He has that
read where he says, oh, Marcus.
Oh, Marcus.
There's a great, you could find it online,
like someone basically
drew up a bird's eye view and did an animation
of like the actual camera
and where it went on set during
this scene and it's really cool to watch because they line it up with this and everything oh that's
awesome and it's like much more complex than it looks yeah oh what actually one i've one bit of
trivia about the writing of this script uh lawrence kazan delivers his first draft to George Lucas of this script.
And George says, great.
Now I need you to write Empire Strikes Back.
He hadn't read it.
He hadn't read Raiders, but he was having all the writers.
Empire had died.
And so Lucas wrote it.
And then he just said, I need somebody to fix it.
I need you to fix it.
You wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire Stri strikes back in the same year it's unbelievable it's like striking brilliance over and over again and david we were talking about this the other day and i'll put it to you guys in terms of john
williams soundtracks where do you rank one superman star wars raiders Where do they rank? 1, 2, 3. I would go Star Wars Raiders
Superman.
I think we agreed that Superman was third.
Reluctantly.
Crusade I think has a better score than this one.
Only because it has Scherzo for
motorcycle. And Scherzo for motorcycles is
one of the best among all of Indy.
Yeah, but this has the theme.
You have to like...
He creates the Raiders theme with it
So does Crusade
People are humming everywhere still
You ever see the Crusades thing?
Crusade gets it like it's a greatest hits album
It's the fault
Well, it's like we did best casts
We did best casts
And my favorite movie is Ocean's Eleven
And our audience picked Ocean's Thirteen for best cast
Which I'm like, yeah, but like that
They cast Ocean's Eleven Half of the cast is Ocean's Eleven Yeah, it picked Ocean's 13 for best cast, which I'm like, yeah, but like that. They cast Ocean's 11.
Half of the cast is Ocean's 11.
Yeah, it's Ocean's 11.
Yeah, it's like that's like I get you out of Pacino, but like it's 11.
Yeah.
That scene where Indy puts the hat over his eyes to fall asleep on the plane, I spent years trying to replicate as a child.
Like I would try to put my baseball hat over my eyes in the
car. It would always fall off and I'd always be like,
fuck, I need one of those indie maps.
Bring back these map sequences.
These map sequences are so fucking cool.
Why don't they bring them back?
It's the best thing. I know, it's awesome.
Awesome.
But, Robbie,
at some point, did you realize
I'm just going to
buy the short round baseball cap?
Well, I've had on my bucket list and this is like, you could probably find tweets going
back to, I don't know, high school every year.
I make like a, let's do this this year list.
And it's go through a door that's closing vertically and leave my hat behind, but also
get it every year every year like i'm
waiting it will happen by the way one of the best videos online i saw last year was that guy who
runs back and forth in the warehouse and just gets under the door with the slide
oh so this look at this this is one shot whole sequence, there's no edit here. This zoom in
and the whole drinking contest is
one shot.
You're a little behind.
Am I?
She's saying pastore.
So anyway, the whole drinking sequence is
one shot.
Let me ask you guys this. Somebody posed this question
recently because that movie Extraction
got a ton of love for their one-shot, 10-minute sequence.
But I've also seen people say, like, have we played out the one-shot thing in action movies?
Like, have we – is every one-shot amazing at this point?
Like, are we overdoing it?
No, I don't think so.
I think they're good.
Yeah.
I agree.
Are people complaining just to complain?
I mean, I don't know.
It's always impressive.
It's always impressive.
Yeah, you always got to nail it is the key.
Like, if they don't nail it, it's not getting praised.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Ken Jack.
She's nowhere near drunk enough.
For all those shots in front of her.
She was kind of woozy for a minute and then
when the minute it ended she's like all right everybody out she almost like alcohol affects
her like a like a punch affects a boxer she just gets woozy for a second but she's right back in
got her legs under the one goon in the scene is the same goon that gets chopped up by the plane
right yes that's very good that you knew that. That was one of three points that I had.
But yes, that's very good.
I know, it's the mustache guy, yeah.
There's something you can get online, which is the story
conference between George Lucas.
It's a transcript of the story conference
between Lucas and Kasdan
and Spielberg talking
about ideas for this. And in it,
they really talk about the fact that
he's like a,
Indiana Jones is kind of like a child molester.
Like she was like 14.
Yeah, like 14 when he made it.
Like this whole conversation, if you see it from that point of view,
he's kind of like, he really did fuck her up.
Yeah.
Did they have like a counterpoint?
Like, well, he is our hero, so we should make him more likable.
No, I guess he's just a molester.
Well, I mean, that was the thing.
This is the 70s.
It's the anti-hero time.
Yeah, true.
Jimmy Page, David Bowie, they're all dating young people.
Yeah, exactly right.
Oh, the jacket's so cool.
Doing everything about Indy is just so cool.
This is the Upper West Side uniform, Manhattan.
Yeah, it's hat and everything, yeah.
Yeah, all the old Jews want to look like Indiana Jones.
That's going to Lincoln Square.
You can see.
Yep, yep.
Who dunked on us with a Lincoln...
Somebody dunked on us with a Lincoln Square fact
the other day in our interview.
Oh, Patton Oswalt.
Was it Patton or was it
Thomas Lennon?
You might be Thomas Lennon.
I think you're right.
Yeah, it was Thomas Lennon.
They said a Lincoln Square fact that you didn't know, Jeff?
It's the busiest movie theater in the country.
That and one of the ones in L.A.
I believe that.
I miss going to the movies.
I don't know if that's an obvious point.
Yeah, me too.
I miss going to the movies.
I went at least one and a half times a year.
Which one is your guys' favorite?
Do you do Arclight there?
Arclight's
nice. I live now
in a place where I can walk to a theater,
so that's my favorite theater.
I'm literally getting...
I don't care what's playing, I can walk.
I'm dropping the theaters,
so it's not a worry.
Whatever's available. I'm dropping the theaters, so it's not a worry here. Whatever's available. I'm dropping the
$25 to watch Scoob tomorrow.
No way. Me too.
I'm doing it. I have to.
I have to do it.
You have to?
I heard not good things about Scoob.
150% on Rotten Tomatoes.
But, I mean, that's the critics. Who cares?
And it's Scoob!
You gotta love movie titles that have the exclamation point. on Rotten Tomatoes. That's the critics. Who cares? Scoob!
You've got to love movie titles that have the exclamation point.
That tells you you're going to enjoy it.
Hopefully they say Scoob in the movie, Alec.
Hopefully they say the title.
Right. I'm sure they will.
I read a review of it today that said
it was the quality of a straight-to-DVD Scooby-Doo movie.
They were like, it's crazy that this was going to come out in theaters.
Well, it's supposed to set up the...
No, it's not.
Yeah, true.
It's supposed to set up the Hanna-Barbera animated universe.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
That's actually...
I don't hate that idea.
It's not a bad idea.
Here's the goons.
This Nazi actor, whoever this guy that plays the main Nazi, so good.
When I think Nazis, this is the guy that comes in my mind.
Well, besides Hitler.
This is the guy that comes in my head.
This guy pops into my brain.
Fictional Nazi, yeah.
For me, the guy later in the movie who's the Nazi, David,
the guy who's like, we will decide then whether or not to blow your shit from the water.
Hans something.
He's great. He's a good Nazi.
Yeah, very good Nazi.
That's what I love about this and Crusaders is
that killing Nazis is always awesome.
It doesn't matter what the movie is, it's always
fucking great when they're killing Nazis.
This may be lost on people
who aren't golf fans,
but I used to call this character Tom Kite
when I was a kid. Oh, he looked like Tom Kite?
Yeah, I used to call him Tom Kite.
Sorry to Tom Kite.
Tom Kite had the major fro.
Can you just give me a time code of where we are in the movie?
Yeah, yeah, here.
I'll throw up a time code.
Actually, for people watching anyway.
We're at 29.45, roughly.
Longer than like five seconds.
So, yeah, if you scroll forward to like, yeah.
I'm good.
He got it.
You probably know this.
He burns his hand and they show his burned hand.
That's a prosthetic, obviously.
Is that an animatronic? I don't even know how they did that.
Like when he grabs it, you mean?
When they show his hand.
It's makeup.
You mean later?
It's makeup on his real hand.
Yeah, it's makeup.
It took me
so many times to understand what that was about.
Like, they never explain.
They say that the Nazis have an amulet, but the markings are only on one side.
And they got it from making it from his hand.
But they never explain it.
And I saw the movie five times before figuring it out.
Like, I was, such an idiot.
Oh, they made it from...
But any
other movie today, they would have had to explain
it. They would never trust the audience
to figure it out.
By the way, Indiana Jones'
gun in this scene, maybe the greatest
gun sound in any movie.
A great cannon-like
explosion. That's so true small little
detail from the bar which you don't see in movies this old mess is more to the brand but
the jack daniels bottle yeah that logo that bottle has not changed because this movie's come out which
is like we just watched the future obviously everything in back the future has obviously
changed so much logos Logos and branding.
It's weird to see
something that still looks the same like that.
They had a good product.
They did, yeah. A little popular.
People still hear about it.
I love these Tibetan dudes with MP40s.
It's so great.
The dude that gets shot in the head.
I love that scene so much.
I don't think
that guy is really Asian. This guy's not really
Asian. Yeah, he had makeup.
I don't think you could get away with that today
either. No, no, you definitely can't.
Yeah.
They just make it Jennifer Lawrence, right?
Oh, no, man.
The Great Wall came out, like, what, two years ago?
I think they could probably pull it off. Yeah, yeah, you know what?
We're saying that, but this keeps happening.
One more Back to the Future thing,
because, Alec, I know you're a big Back to the Future fan.
I said this the other day.
I think one of my favorite payoffs in any movie
is him driving out of the barn and knocking over one of the trees,
and then later in the movie becoming the lone pilot.
That is...
That's great.
I think that would be up there top three small little movie details. over one of the trees, and then later in the movie becoming the lone pirate. That's great.
That'd be up their top three small little movie details.
I also didn't get that until like 20 years after it came out.
Shoot them both. There's the guy. That's the bald guy
from the end.
Yep.
I always wondered, why did they still keep
fighting after the guy said, shoot them both?
The big guy should have been like, let's team up.
Why are we fighting?
That guy.
Actually, the German guy,
I think they, Toth, I think his name,
character's name is.
He was supposed to die earlier in the film
and as they were filming, I think Spielberg
liked him so much that he kept him in
and has him die again.
Oh, the face melt
Beautiful
How many of you saw this in a theater at some point?
I did
I never had a chance, and never re-released it
for a chance for me to see it
This is one of those that if
the Alamo Draft House did it or something
I would love to see this in a theater They took they had it they had a plane one night in a theater
in la i don't know probably 10 years ago and i took my kids and it was a terrible experience
because everybody in the theater had seen it so many times that nobody had any reactions to it
nobody laughed at jokes nobody was excited It was dead through the whole thing.
I'm always
fortunate that I was old enough
to remember going for the re-release of
all three Star Wars movies.
However, when I was in college,
I went for what was supposed
to be the first of six 3D releases.
I saw The Phantom Menace
in 3D in 2011.
You want to talk about no reactions from people. Phantom Menace in 3D in 2011. You want to talk about no reactions from people?
Phantom Menace in 3D.
How many people were in the theater, Jeff?
Was it stacked?
In State College, Pennsylvania, in that theater, it was not many.
I'll put it that way.
Yeah, yeah.
John Rhys-Davies is such a fucking treasure.
The fact that they had him play Gimli and people think of him as a short dude,
and he hated it.
He hated playing Gimli so much in Lord of the Rings.
Oh, really?
Yeah, apparently the makeup that they made him use
gave him a really bad allergic reaction
every single time they put it on,
and they just didn't find a workaround to that.
So he just kept having to get this weird allergic reaction.
He hated it, but he loved the character so much,
so he just kept doing it.
Wait, wait, wait.
Interesting. The guy who looks a little like John
Rhys-Davies knows a lot about John Rhys-Davies.
Yeah, just a little bit.
If I was 6'2", I could pull off this.
If I was 6'2",
I could really pull off a good accent.
That's right, Jai.
Holy shit.
I know.
It makes sense.
Wow.
Okay.
Has there ever been an actor,
an actress though,
who's done like the prosthetics like that and been like,
loved it.
That was great.
Like,
that was awesome.
You have,
uh,
Chris Eccleston.
He was in the dark world.
He said it was like the worst experience of his life.
Michael.
Michael checklist played the thing in that lower budget,
and he said he almost lost his mind because he was covered for the whole movie.
Tim Allen.
Hugo Weaving didn't want to do Red Skull again.
What did he call it?
Eccleston backtracked a bit.
Right.
Eccleston backtracked a bit once Thor Ragnarok was gone. He's like, yeah, maybe I'd come back.
He's like, oh yeah, that'd be great.
That'd be nice to get a paint job.
I will say, of all the
franchise Marvel actors who
leave and then they're like, I don't want to do that.
Once it really ramped up with the Infinity
War stuff, they all were like, oh, actually.
That's when Natalie Portman's coming back.
Wait a second.
Didn't Liam Neeson leave the business after Phantom Menace?
I felt like I read that.
He's like, I'm leaving.
No, he was leaving.
And then, well, okay, I'll do this kidnap movie, I guess.
Yeah, I'll do.
I'll do.
Actually, one of the last Liam Neeson movies I remember talking about,
well, he was in Widows.
I don't want to disrespect his career.
Iceman or whatever.
What was it called? What's the train movie, Runaway?
No, The Commuter.
Yeah, you guys will like this.
Robbie came on to review that on our podcast
but got a seat, an online
seat selector. Didn't realize
he selected a seat that's really a space for
a wheelchair, so he had to stand up on the
back the entire time.
I had committed to reviewing the movie and I literally stood up for the entirety of a liam neeson commuter train
shitty action movie i think i said my review i was like joey here's our part wait hold on
oh yeah it's coming up on the best scene ever. Hold on, hold on. What? Listen.
Oh, okay.
So the pick is in, Joey.
With the 30-second pick, the Broncos have selected Dates Yeadham out of Texas A&M.
What do you think of that, Mel?
Yeah, you look at a guy like Dates Yeadham, you know,
he's out in the Middle East and used to the heat.
He's a very particular kind of guy, a guy you can
surround yourself with. Have a lot of success
in your program.
I forgot you
told me about that, man.
I did not think that's where the bit was
going to fall in.
How could you predict where that bit was going to go?
Even I
was like, okay, what's going on?
You're not going to get that on any other Raiders
commentary out there. No, I don't think so.
So everybody was sick
while they were filming this sequence
in Tunisia. Yeah.
And, you know, the sword thing, I mean, I'm
ahead of it, but the sword thing that's coming up.
Yeah. Best indie
scene ever. But they had
completely storyboarded a fight with Indy with the whip and the
sword guy with the sword.
And they were all so sick that Harrison Ford says,
why don't I just shoot him?
Oh my God.
You're really in that.
Yeah,
exactly.
Yeah.
It's just like,
it's just,
it's,
it's,
it's one of the top 10 moments in any movie. I would think about it. It's all fucking, and it's all serendipity too, right? just it's it's it's one of the top 10 moments in any movie i would yeah it's all
fucking and it's all serendipity too right like it's just if they didn't have diarrhea you wouldn't
have the most iconic iconic indiana jones scene of all time well it's like his whole character
i'm going back to tom selleck tom selleck wouldn't have no we got to do the sequence. Tom Selleck didn't get diarrhea either.
That's another thing.
That GQ special I watched when they said Tom Selleck was going to get it.
I was like, thank God.
No, if it's a Tom Selleck.
Magnum GI.
I love Tom Selleck.
I love him.
That is the slowest sword stab of all time just there.
Yeah.
Also, this weird camera angle.
It's like he turned around.
It's weird.
I don't know what to say.
It took me years to get that the whip is actually making the horses go.
I never got that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I just got that now.
Did that help me out?
Okay.
Every day is a school day.
By the way, she knocks him out way too fast
After running
And beating him into the doorway
It's like not credible at all
As opposed to everything else in the movie
Yeah right
Like how did she get
No I bought it
He's right on top of her
How did she get the jump on him
I know Did she button hook that as soon as she got in there Yeah He had no signal. He's right on top of her. How did she get the jump on him?
I know.
Did she button hook that as soon as she got in there?
Yeah.
Oh, the jump in there. There you go.
Never fails.
I don't know how the lead guy is running here.
He's got his pants up to his nipples.
That was the style then.
Crazy.
Snitch monkey.
God damn it.
Nazi monkey.
Yeah.
He gets his.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Wait.
Oh, here we go.
He really does look
ill.
Yeah, he looks like he's trying to get
through the team without shitting himself.
People are celebrating taking his sword
and everything, too.
Yeah, that's great.
Yeah, we got it.
Even the way it screens,
with him on the left, the guy, oh, it's perfect.
Perfect game.
I don't get off his back, but that guy was like, I'm going to be in this huge fight scene.
I'm so memorable.
Going to be the most memorable action scene ever.
And this, David, of course, the shot coming up is a tribute to North by Northwest, I think,
when he comes out of the alleyway.
Oh, yeah, and the eyes.
Yeah, and then you see all the people with the baskets.
It's like in North by Northwest when all the people are porters.
Yes.
He's dressed as a porter.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Love it.
Just trying to go about your day, and this guy comes in and starts throwing your laundry everywhere
this is a good like metaphor of american involvement overseas yes
we got our own problems we're gonna knock your shit over like jesus christ
wmd in here no okay knock down the next one. Very good machine gun sound. They found out
all those extras in Tunisia
weren't being given food or water.
Spielberg found that out the first day.
You're not feeding them?
They didn't care about
not the crew, but Tunisia
didn't care about that.
The location manager.
That same Star Wars sound.
The truck comes over. This is great. This shot through the driving thing A location manager. That same Star Wars sound. Truck crossover.
This is great. This shot through the driving
thing of the truck right here.
You see him shoot. It's such a great...
Yeah, it's awesome.
You're a little behind again, David.
I don't know if this is going slower.
The truck is burning in front of us now.
Okay.
Immediately goes to drink his pain away.
And he's going to think about getting it and then realize,
forget it.
Let me play with the Nazi monkey until my pain goes away.
There you go.
Thanks for causing
the death of the child I had sex with.
Thanks for
all this.
At least I don't have to worry about that coming out later
yeah
that's a draken celebration
how's that monkey mooring
he's the reason she's dead
I know well it's conflicted
the monkey's very conflicted
short term memory yeah
yeah
I got this great table outside.
Right.
Save the seat.
Look at those pants.
That is a 12-inch tie.
Also, we don't see this guy again.
Like, he's just Tunisian Nazi.
He doesn't get killed or anything.
No.
Oh, a French Nazi too.
Oh.
Yeah.
There was a line in the...
You guys won't care.
There was a line they cut
where Belak...
This is why we're here.
But that Belak actually had to give that idol back
that the natives made him give the idol back. So he didn't get to keep it. Oh, and they took it out.
They cut it out. They cut it out. Well, they I gather from what I've read about it, like the
script was much denser, like there's all this exposition and, you know, and they just kept
paring it down. And even even in the shooting, they kept paring it down and even in the shooting they kept paring it down and
cutting out sequences like that.
The scene in the bar in Nepal,
their whole backstory
had all this other detail
that they just cut out of the movie.
Oh, wow.
And it made it great.
Back when George didn't have just
Yes Men, it was when people people compare a fucking story down.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, get it under two hours and then we'll shut down.
Well, that was the other thing too,
that Lucas was the producer of this.
So he was actually keeping Spielberg from going over budget.
Spielberg, like his movie before this was 1941,
which went wildly over budget and was this disaster.
And Lucas ended up sort of
teaching him how to compromise. That's what
Spielberg always said about this movie
is that he learned how to compromise
and get the movie in on budget, which is
ironic given that it was Lucas.
Yeah. And by the way,
1941, also a great
soundtrack. Terrible movie. Great.
Great, great, great John Williams
music. ken jack probably
knows it he probably knows like oh the 17th track is yeah my favorite it's like that uh how editing
saves star wars robbie that you sent me that that forever changed how i like crazy right
that's great what is it what is it how editing Wars. Oh, I've never seen that.
It's a great YouTube video.
I think the channel is called Rocket Jump.
Really worth a watch.
It's like a 20-minute video.
It's awesome.
I'll watch.
It's insane.
Take over a little bit of the documentary.
We can't talk Star Wars without me mentioning the documentary Empire Dreams,
which is an amazing documentary.
Put me to sleep sometimes on disney we just
throw it on oh yeah yeah just it's incredible a malicious worth of guns in this scene yeah no
so great he's so saved today he's so damn bronze yeah oh so my my only experience seeing an indie movie in theaters is crystal
skull i was nine years old and i'll never forget the day it came out i said to my mom like we have
to see this the day comes out indiana jones i was crazy about the first three she was like no
problem picked me up from school early tried to take me into the theater and there was so much
traffic that it took us like an hour to get there, and it was
very much like, we might have to call it
and go back. I eventually saw
it and loved it as a nine-year-old,
so I still have a little bit of nostalgia for
a pretty shitty movie.
Yeah, it is pretty shitty.
Yeah, it is. Watching it now,
when he gets in that fridge, I'm just like, oh,
I'm going to go get a drink or something. I'll be back.
I remember reading some interview between
Spielberg and Lucas talking about it
and they were like, this is, you know,
Spielberg's like, this is really George's movie.
This is really George's vision.
Lucas saying, Spielberg,
these are always Steven's movies.
They were both like, it's the other guy's
movie.
Yeah.
This little kid has a nose that's a lot like mine.
I'd always notice that.
So Lucas did some second unit directing on this movie.
And the scene that's coming up, the shot of pouring the poison on the dates, Lucas shot.
Wow.
Really cool.
Just like the Tarantino scene in Sin City.
Right.
It's just like this little,
little,
just that insert right there.
That,
that Lucas shot.
I'm surprised he doesn't have a,
like a wipe.
Oh,
Jesus.
What a suit, man.
Yeah, it's a serious suit.
This scene also is like one of the earliest scenes shot,
which is kind of weird.
Like, it's like, it's so interesting.
Shooting out of order. Like, this is like the first week of shooting and it's like i don't know
that always messes me up mentally and now you guys will have much better like you guys have
done this before um is that like fucked up or is that like no everyone everyone does it so it's
like everyone's used to it actors get all actors could do that oh yeah i think most actors who do movie stuff certainly are used to
shooting out of order i mean some some movies that's crazy that's insane but most don't
why is that though is that just it's like by virtue of like if you have three dinner scenes
and like a family comedy you're gonna shoot them all in the day that you have that set.
That you're there on that one set.
Or if you have
four baseball scenes in a movie,
you're going to shoot them all
when you've rented the field.
You don't want to rent it in two weeks
or today.
Just being efficient.
In a movie like this where you're shooting all over the world,
you're going to be more efficient
about the timing and then the actors.
Exactly.
George filmed the end of
Revenge of the Sith while he was filming
Attack of the Clones.
Really?
One interesting fact about that.
He's like, I don't want to come back here.
I didn't know that.
Attack of the Cl comes behind the scenes
About Tunisia
He talks about it
Oh you're talking about the homestead
Owen and Beru holding
Yeah
That makes sense
Bad dates
Joel Edgerton maybe
Who would have thought that would be the start of his career
He's a great actor Who would have thought that would be the start of his career? He's a great actor. Who would have thought
that's the start of his career?
Nazi monkey.
I don't know how bad you feel.
This is
I was able to go on
one red carpet in my life. It was the
WWE Hall of Fame a few years ago.
And I was like, I have to do the
indie thing, right?
I was like, I have to ask you about that.
Wow, that, man.
Wow, that's awesome. Temple of Doom.
Amazing.
And having the face that I have, people didn't immediately go, oh, Temple of Doom?
They were like, prom?
I was like, that's not really what I was going for.
You didn't think you were?
They were like, are you going to prom?
And I was like like that's not cool
oh this is so good i remember uh because this is just bringing it to mind like the scene in a
little bit when that great moment with the sunset behind him when they're all
they're all digging and he's walking around dav I don't know if you remember this when we were doing
that Poltergeist episode
Peter Geist
and there was a moment
where
they were digging for stuff in the backyard
and I wanted to have Peter doing that
with the sunset thing
Seth was like no
just didn't want to do it
he's terrible.
Hey, come on.
He's a big stoolie.
He'll be watching.
Long time stoolie.
Long time stoolie.
I mean, this music is better than.
Yeah.
It's good.
Yeah.
Than the little motorcycle thing.
I love that piece.
I mean, it scares out for motorcycles.
I still have to pick Star Wars. I still put Star Wars over it.
That's a top five John Williams track, in my opinion.
It scares out for motorcycles.
The problem with Star Wars, Jeff, to me,
is there's all this really dull music in Star Wars.
If you listen to the record,
there's all these pieces of it that you really just don't want to listen to.
Whereas I feel like Raiders, I don't think there's anything I don't want to listen to.
That's fair.
More like inventor-driven, like moving along, chugging along.
Hot and Layers game is probably up there, my favorite, too, and that's in Empire.
But I will say the Here They Come, the TIE Fighter battle is my favorite Star Wars.
Well, and that's
my favorite joke in family guy star wars that alec wrote which is while peter is shooting he's
humming yeah i just love that joke don't get penisy what a great scene that was steve callahan
that don't get penisy that's what we're saying with um uh when you were talking about it right
it's just like having that fresh set of eyes on it, I'm sure, was so helpful.
It's crazy.
Yeah, because Steve was not a Star Wars fan, really, and he was vocal about that.
But that's what he – this music is awesome.
And also, Marion's theme in the movie is fantastic.
By the way, you said Scherzo, top five, John Williams pieces.
I think, for me, The Asteroid Field and Empire
are amazing.
Into the Trap and Jedi
are fantastic.
I gotta say, Duel of the Fates
is amazing.
Would you think
when he's recording music
and he sees parts of the movie and he's doing a bad
movie or something, he's gonna be like,
John Williams is like, what the fuck is this?
He doesn't do a lot
of bad movies. Yeah. I don't know.
But if you see somebody hate... He does do a lot
of bad movies. I think at the end
of Phantom Menace, he was like, listen, I'm gonna
give these people something.
He did it in...
I feel like in
Rey's theme in
Force Awakens. I do love
Rey's theme. I was gonna say I do love Rey's theme a lot.
I was going to say, Rise of Skywalker I enjoyed.
And I mean, Alec, you're not a big fan of that.
No, non-Williams Star Wars, I will say,
the Mandalorian theme is endlessly in my head on a loop.
That got catchier and catchier every week.
On my way to work at my previous job,
I'd like to throw that on to get me hyped.
I think I said it last time we were on, Alec.
Somebody did a remix of the Rocky theme and the Mandalorian theme on YouTube, and it's awesome.
Oh, yeah?
If it wasn't the same dude, don't they do the same one?
Well, Ludwig, yeah.
Creed, yeah.
There it is.
All right, so this is a little Raiders nerd thing.
I've got to go through it. So the thing said the staff is 72 inches, and you take back one Kadam,
so it would be about 60 inches because six Kadam is about 72 inches.
That means a Kadam is 12 inches.
Why is that thing so much taller than him?
It should be like four feet high.
It's a little nerdy.
It's like the parsec of this.
Yeah, literally.
Measurement's not their
strong suit.
They just felt the American audience
might not understand the Kadam
as well as you do.
Do you think he was actually
sweating there or was it still the diarrhea?
That was like 130 degrees when they were shooting some of the stuff.
I think this is a set, so I don't think he's actually suffering.
Yeah.
I wonder if anyone's worn that to Comic-Con.
Just been like, do you know who I am?
I think you'd get in trouble running around.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
You wore the Nazi uniform.
Yeah, you'd be safer.
Yeah.
Shout out to Prince Harry.
He gave it a try.
Wearing the Nazi uniform?
Infamously.
I missed that, thankfully.
So here's like... No. It wasn't great.
Here's something they don't even bother to explain
in any rational way,
why she's still alive.
They must have switched something.
Chewie was in a different freighter.
They don't care.
I feel like they do
kind of address it
when it's like,
I feel like the girl can tell us more.
Don't the Nazis say that?
So it's like maybe they think they can extract her father's information from her.
I don't know.
Right.
No, but I'm saying like they put her on the back of the explosive truck.
Oh, right.
You saw that happen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They just brush past that. That's an homage to really the classic movie serials
where that kind of shit just happens all the time.
Right, right.
Yeah.
And the audience does not care.
No.
Jeff, did you see, not to cut you off, this is out of the blue,
AOC just responded to one of your tweets?
Yes.
The LCD mentions are going to be on fire now.
They are, yeah. did you respond in a
positive way yeah we did this we did a random just such a random tweet i'm uh i'm uh i scrape away
for engagement on social media so i love posting just like random things like hey tell us your
favorite blank but i posted a picture of a tv movie cart and I said, what movie's about to start playing? I saw that. That was great.
Yeah, we had like Seth Rogen quote tweeted it,
Ben. Yeah, I saw that when I woke up.
That blew my mind. It was like, what is Seth Rogen?
AOC just tossed the reply, so now that'll go
from fun replies to, I'm sure.
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah, I'll probably
look at that tomorrow. A lot of red hats on the mentions very much soon,
I'm sure. Ah, picture of the next election
on that TV.
Auntie Jimba.
Actually, the most common reply we got was the OJ trial.
Really?
I would imagine like Bill Nye the Science Guy.
What you were watching in class on your TV.
Bill Nye and October Sky.
Those two big ones for me.
Well, I said in Catholic school,
I went to Catholic school for one year in first grade.
I brought an empire, which we talked about last time you were on.
And the Tauntaun scene, she shut it off and I got in trouble.
Oh, really?
Can't be showing the guts.
The guts came out and they were like, fucking Jeff.
There it is.
I always liked that the toy
Tauntaun you could open up the stomach and put it in.
Yeah, great feature.
That's great.
Ah, the hand.
The hand. I missed the hand.
JoJo Rabbit.
Home Alone.
Home Alone is an ode to it.
Stephen Merchant
in Jojo Rabbit. Really,
his performance reminded me of that.
I think you're right.
I think it was very inspired.
Oh, you haven't seen it, Joey?
No, I need it.
Man, tomorrow.
I've heard nothing but
fantastic things.
Hold off on Scoob and you can watch.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Let's not be impulsive.
Very simple movies, though, to be honest.
Many people have said this.
There it is.
That's what you're talking about, Alec.
Yeah, this shot.
Yeah, that is.
This shot is so good.
Oh, that shit was one of the best shots in any movie.
And just imagine if it was a fat guy, Peter.
It'd be so memorable, like all those family guys.
All those family guy in-jokes.
I remember you pitching that.
I remember.
I thought it was very funny.
Yeah, well, of course you did.
Yeah, you were the target audience.
Did Ralph McQuarrie do any painting work for this movie? of course you did. Yeah, you were the target audience. Yeah.
Did Ralph McQuarrie do any painting work for this movie?
No, it was actually a guy named Jim Steranko.
Okay.
And he designed the Indiana Jones character.
He drew it.
And again, I'm going to go back to Tom Selleck.
One of the reasons they liked Tom Selleck so much is he looked almost exactly like this pre-production art
that Steranko had done.
Because mustaches were much
more popular back then.
The Struzan
Temple of Doom poster is
one of my favorite posters in the history of
movies.
They mentioned that he went to the University
of Chicago.
I went to the University of Chicago and I worked in the alumni office.
And while I was there, I put an alumni card for Indiana Jones in the files.
That's my favorite nerdiest thing I've ever heard.
How did I never hear that?
That's awesome.
I love that.
That's so cool.
That is great.
I made up a bunch of papers he wrote.
So the snakes, you know, they had 3,000 snakes, and it wasn't enough.
So, like, they put all these 3,000 snakes on the floor of this set,
and it wasn't full enough.
Wow. So they ordered 3,000 snakes on the floor of this set, and it wasn't full enough. Wow.
So they ordered 7,000 more.
There's 10,000 snakes in the wide shots of this set.
Are you kidding me?
Imagine the disappointment on that when you dump them in there, and you're like, oh, fuck.
But also, how can you not order?
And I guess, listen, I'm sure they thought of this.
But how do you not order like 7,000 rubber snakes sure they thought of this but how do you not order
like 7 000 rubber snakes 3 000 you know and you just have it like the zombies on the walking dead
the ones in the background you don't really pay attention to their makeup isn't done well right
uh he doesn't like it
set up earlier set up earlier naming the snake after
Reggie Jackson
I don't know if anybody caught that
my pet snake Reggie is wearing a Yankees cap
I don't know
I had bad internet back at that part of the movie
I couldn't give you that
this is true
these scenes
with Belloc and uh marion a lot of it's and you can tell a lot of it's
improvised yeah they they improvise a lot of their dialogue and a lot of their
uh especially when they're drunk you can really tell it's a couple of bad improvisers.
Isn't that supposed to be the hardest thing to get actors to do is, is like drunk.
Yeah.
I think that is.
Yeah.
Dennis Hopper and Hoosiers,
when he stumbles out onto the court drunk,
he talks about how before they said action,
he asked the director to give him a 30-second warning
and he just was spinning around in place.
Then they said
action and he just kind of stumbles out onto the
court. That's why it looks so good.
By the way, nobody
eating in a movie is ever hungry
and it's very annoying to me all the time.
They're never hungry.
It's take seven.
Jeff loves people eating in
movies oh well mainly star wars because they do it so little in the first three movies you know
what always bothers me is whenever in movies they have like um like a what do you call it like a cup
from like a store or something and they put it down you can very clearly hear it's empty yes and
they keep picking back up that empty tink or whatever you want to call it so frustrating to
me yeah and that's the same with beers that people open and then you hear that first swig and it and they keep picking it back up. That empty tink or whatever you want to call it. So frustrating to me.
That's the same with beers that people open
and then you hear that first swig and it sounds like the last
swig.
That's a slink.
This is going to be
very arcane,
but in the Winds of War
there's this scene where Robert Mitchum, who's a giant,
is talking about how hungry he is.
They go and they have some soup.
He takes one sip of the soup.
He says, well, that hit the spot.
That's like 300 pounds.
And he says he's starving.
I'm sorry.
The eating thing bugs me, too.
Wait, David, what was that from?
Winds of War.
And how might one say that?
The Winds of War. And how might one say that? The Winds of War.
There you go.
We should announce it on the movie of the week.
The Winds of War.
CBS brought back.
Wait, isn't CBS doing Indiana Jones Sunday night?
Can I tell you something?
It was a week and a half ago or whatever.
They did it.
And they did the old-fashioned promo
this the cbs movie of the week promo which was great and uh a great bonus is they showed this
and at the at the scene when marion says oh you got more than you bargained for i'm your goddamn
partner they left in goddamn wow it was cbs CBS 845 on a Sunday, so I instantly
called other people at Family Guy. I'm like, we can say
God damn.
We're clear.
We're good. We're clear.
Wow.
It would be such a great word for Peter. It's such a perfect
Peter word.
Somebody asked me once,
I was being interviewed by some high school kid about Family Guy,
and he said, what's the significance of the fact that the phrase,
what the hell, is in every Family Guy episode?
And I'm like, what?
He said, the phrase, what the hell, is in every Family Guy episode.
And it's just a coincidence, but it's the only way we can curse.
So at some point in every Family Guy episode somebody says, well, what the hell?
But it's not intentional.
It's because it's the only thing you can use.
That's so lame of us.
It is very lame.
I like Goddamn a lot better.
Not sorry to stray too
far back into Family Guy because we're watching
this great fucking movie, but there's
one that you guys had where it's the guy
in the Hummer and he
swerves across all lanes while watching madagascar and he says like i fucking love these these
animals are so fucking funny yeah there was always a rumor i remember this is like message board days
before twitter was really a thing that people said that that aired with the word fuck on fox
on a sunday night by accident i'll never forget that. It was always a rumor. I don't believe that's true.
David would know more about that.
I don't remember that gag, and
I don't think that's true.
I do know that
Cleveland gave the
finger in one
episode, and
it got through
standards by mistake.
It was supposed to be blurred out,
and it wasn't, and you can see Cleveland giving the mistake. It wasn't.
You can see Cleveland giving him a finger.
It helps that he only has three fingers.
This is important.
This is very important.
C3PO and R2-D2 are carved in the walls
in this. I can show you where
it is.
You got some Star Wars fucking nerds here.
I mean, I just remember where else it is.
You know about this?
Oh, yeah.
So it's
behind Harrison Ford
on his right, and it's in the
second shot. It's on that
pole, and the
second shot when they lift this off,
they're lifting it off. You can see see see through po and rgd2 i've actually thought so not that version of them tattooed really
like the hieroglyphics version oh there they are yeah they're there
that shot right when he's about there if you can see it. Yeah. It's like right before.
You might have to go back.
There's a little nod, actually.
The Ark is in the show Clone Wars at one point.
Oh, really?
In the background, Dave Filoni did a nod to that.
Or actually, it was probably George at the time,
because George is still working on Clone Wars, I think.
But there's a group of alien species, and they're loading it into a ship.
That's funny.
This scene, I believe, is completely improvised, and I have no trouble believing it.
It's my family label.
I always forget you see the Ark in Crystal Skull, too.
It's a super, super in-your-face fan service moment.
Also, the music, there's the art music
in Last Crusade
when he sees it on the wall in the
caverns in Venice.
Pretty sure.
They play the
arc theme.
Are you sure?
Pretty sure.
There's a great joke here with the coat hanger.
Great movie theater joke.
Yes, audience loves it.
And in fact, it was originally in 1941,
Christopher Lee did the same joke and it didn't play,
so he cut it from the movie and he put it in this one.
Wow, amazing.
You hear bands do that all the time.
Dave Grohl said there's a riff
on the new Foo Fighters album that he's been trying to put
on every Foo Fighters album for 25 years.
He's like, I just haven't found a spot for it.
It works in this because this is a movie
with real Jeopardy.
Yeah.
1941 had no Jeopardy, so
who cares what he's doing with a hanger?
It's not even.
Right.
That's great.
Yeah.
His reaction, Bellock's reaction to that is really funny, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
Yeah, I know.
You asshole.
Fuck what?
He's really, he's like a great screen villain.
You've never seen him.
I've never seen him in anything.
Yeah.
And I still feel like I've never seen him in anything
else. And he's great in this movie.
He's just great.
I feel like if they ever
redo an indie thing and they need to cast
this guy, go straight for Post Malone.
Yeah.
When we got when we shot uh when we got to visit uh lucasfilm for the oh wait did you get to did you get to go to the warehouse alec and saw the ark in the warehouse
yeah yeah i was there yeah it's cool stuff you had to go home for like rosh hashanah or something
yeah right right right my two religions in conflict You had to go home for like Rosh Hashanah or something. Yeah. Right.
My two religions in conflict.
I feel like we're just watching the movie now.
I know.
This part locked me in.
Yeah.
The, the arc is so,
it's so cool. The arc is so cool.
The arc of the Covenant
was that you see that Phil
Kaufman has the story
credit on the movie.
He was originally going to write the movie with Lucas
and he came up with
he told Lucas about the arc of the Covenant.
Lucas didn't know anything about it.
It was because his dentist
was obsessed with it wow and phil
kaufman was broke and he so he couldn't afford to just sort of kill time with lucas and he got a job
writing the outlaw josie wales so he went oh shit yeah great movie a great movie but so but his
contribution the ark of the covenant is why he why he got sort of shared story credit on it.
So was Lucas planning the indie movie?
He knew the character, and he just didn't know what the adventure was?
Right.
At that point?
Yes.
He was sort of talking through this idea, and then he brings it to Spielberg.
You know the story that it's like the weekend Star Wars opened.
Yeah.
Lucas had gone to Hawaii, and he and Spielberg were in Hawaii together
and Lucas
asked what he wanted to do next
and Spielberg says, I want to do a Bond movie
and Lucas says, I have a better
idea of a Bond-like movie
and at the end it was called Indiana Smith.
Oh boy.
God, you're like, what an upgrade.
Oh my God.
And that's where – Lucas had already talked to Kaufman through some of the story points.
You know who came up with the idea for Indiana Jones?
Sean Parker.
No, I'm kidding.
The fucking myth.
Drop the
drop.
Indiana is the name of George Lucas'
dog, or was when he was a kid.
Yeah.
What a fucking credit you get
to have Justin Timberlake play you in a movie.
I know.
Right.
Block is like a rip-off of Vincent Cassellsell even though he's much older than him
wait which one's vincent cassell uh you're watching like um uh i'm trying to think of
an example oceans 13 that's a terrible example so big itself vincent cassell amazing actor
terrible example to use for him. A lot of French
movies. Shoot, what's
the one Russian one I'm thinking
of?
It was just in Westworld.
It was just in Westworld.
By the way, never commit to
doing a full
series recap on YouTube
to a show that you don't know if you're going to like or not
like I did with Wes.
Eastern Promises.
Eastern Promises.
Oh, yeah. I'll have to
brush up on him.
He does a lot of Vince Gasel in him. You're right. I didn't even think about
that. C-A-N-D.
No!
Ken Jack, I just saw this Blacklist thing that's it's amazing right did you guys see this
day they animated they animated yeah they animated their season finale or something you guys have to
watch it's incredible it's like you know whenever they show like deleted scenes from a movie and
like they didn't they only did like the first generation of like the c makeup. That's what it looks like. It's incredible.
It's bad. Bad.
Very bad. But I love the Blacklist,
so I love it.
Well, there's no time.
They didn't have time to really get it great.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, wow.
It's an old
video game.
It's like weird
animatics
What do they call it?
Yeah
It looks like
virtual representation
What's the stuff they use?
It's the virtual storyboarding
Yeah, it's animatic
Okay, yeah
What's that movie that was like CGI like that
that had that weird glossed over look to it?
Beowulf?
Last Starfighter?
Beowulf.
Yes, that's not the one I meant.
Very much looked like that, though.
Shout out to Ray Winstone.
Great actor.
Just not a great movie.
No.
I love Ray Winstone.
He's terrific.
Get him in the face.
There we go.
Turns out actually snakes like fire
so that fire wouldn't actually do it.
I read that they had a lot of trouble
with the snakes because the snakes were
attracted to the fire.
That's so great.
There's one
kind of visible goof coming up in the movie.
David, do you remember it?
Not sure.
It's when...
Oh, yeah, the block?
Yeah.
When he pushes the block out of the wall and they ultimately escape,
you can see it bounce in the shadow.
So it's like a big brick block and it's like...
Big styrofoam
block. The blacklist looks like
um... No, go ahead.
I was going to say the scanner
darkly. That's what I was looking for.
Exactly what it looks like.
Rotoscoped.
Won't be re-watching that.
I would re-watch Scanners.
It's the movie I'm thinking of with the exploding head.
Yeah. Michael Ironside.
Yeah. Ironside. What a great voice.
He should be more stuff still. I know he's kind of old now,
but damn. Yeah. He had a
great voice. Yeah. Also in
Starship Troopers.
Total Refund.
Total Recall. Total Recall, yeah.
Glade. This, like, yeah. Glead.
People were fucking screaming in the audience.
The snake coming out of the mouth.
The snake coming out of the mouth.
That's one of the creepiest visuals ever.
That's crazy.
And it's like, over.
We're done. Come here, Marion.
Let's see the shadow.
Yeah, you'll see it.
It's like a bouncy ball.
Here it comes.
I had this
of the Nazi plane,
which did not have swastikas on the Lego.
Oh, interesting.
And it had the goon and Indy
and all that. One of my favorite Lego sets as a child.
Did you paint swastikas on there?
Yeah.
No, but I used to make stop motion Lego things as a kid.
Like my favorite thing to do.
So I made a Hitler for Indy to kill.
And once my mom was like, what is this?
I was like, I'll show you the stop motion.
He dies.
I swear he dies.
Yeah.
I mean,
I'm not like a Tarantino thing.
I'm doing re-imagined history thing.
I mean,
I'm going to have him come back to life later.
I need to kill him multiple times.
He's going to make another version.
Yeah.
He's going to make another version of the Lego in Brazil.
That's where the next Lego set comes from.
I think this sequence.
You have a YouTube channel for that,
Robbie?
That's Frank Marshall.
I did.
Yeah.
It was like,
it was like wrestling rocks or something.
This sequence deserves our attention.
This is,
this is an amazing sequence.
That's fighting the movie.
And also just the shots with the gas and the fire and them running from it.
It's just all perfect.
Amazing.
God, the way he – his look on his face would be an amp to get into this fight.
I know.
He's like, oh, shit, I've been waiting for this.
I'm not interested in – I'm just interested in –
Yeah, this guy can die.
It's fine Also the
After that first hit where
It's just this amazing move by Harrison Ford
It's like his legs wobble
It's so great
What I fear moves is the
The overhead double hand strike
Which they nailed perfectly in the Futurama
Star Trek episode
By the way David
Perfectly done.
Here we go.
Perfect.
Shaky knees.
It's great.
This guy wants to fight.
Yeah, you're fighting with an American now. We fight. Oh, yeah.
You're fighting with an American now.
We bite.
Oh, yeah.
We don't play by any rules.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Sent him for a 720 spin.
Yep.
Dirt in the eye.
A little Mr. Fuji.
Oh, this is great eye. Little Mr. Fuji. This is great.
Just everything.
You don't even think about how Spielberg just perfectly captures everything that's happening in this scene.
There's so much happening.
So at some point during the scene, the plane's wheels rolled over
Harrison Ford's foot.
Because it was so hot out,
the tire was gooey.
He didn't
shatter his leg, but he
poured a ligament.
That guy in planes.
He gets fucking injured.
Yeah.
Even the one in Falcon Door
closed on his leg.
He should not be
anywhere near planes, Harrison Ford in general.
I'll just say that.
I'm amazed at how much trivia
I know about this movie.
Oh, I'm not.
I knew you were going to...
Oh, that got everyone's attention.
Sleeping Nazi, wake up.
Jones.
That sounds like a 90s Seattle grunge record.
Sleeping Nazi, wake up.
By the way, by the band Jones.
Yeah, right.
The way he just wails on the guy too
is just amazing.
It really is like this really brutal
moment in the movie.
Yeah.
He gets crushed
by this dude.
This guy would be Tyson.
Oh, I know.
Imagine this guy in Rough and Rowdy.
Right.
It's like exactly what we look for.
Construction boots.
Yes.
No definable muscle.
Just a massive man.
What if we do Rough and Rowdy in the desert and we rebuilt this set, Rowdy?
I mean, that's my dream.
Loser gets turned into Spam by the plane.
Yeah.
Here it comes.
Yeah.
What an amazing way to show that brutality without showing anything, too.
Just the splatter.
Splatter of the Nazi on the swastika.
Gorgeous. showing anything to just the splatter splatter of the nazi uh the swastika gorgeous oh this and this shot of them running from this plane here is one of my favorite shots it's just this like yeah
yeah just nail that great practical explosion i'm watching this right now and i'm like oh that's
what jj was trying to do with ray and fin running away from the ship's floating on Jakku.
Yeah, but didn't nail it.
He tried.
Listen, JJ's the king of, like, I'm going to take this from here,
take this from here, take this from here.
Oh, boys.
Oh.
Salah.
I hate Salah.
This motherfucker looks just way too cleaneded up still to be in this
I guess he's got a nice little base camp
But he just looks so good still in his suit
I know
Not to be a Nazi sympathizer with this guy
Shut up
And then it goes right
Into this truck sequence, which is
also fantastic. It's like
it just keeps building on itself.
Although,
Crusader's tank sequence, I think, is better than this
truck sequence.
No, it isn't.
No, it's not.
No, it isn't.
Sean Connery.
Sean Connery.
You'd only like to be like, no, fuck you. Sean Connery. You just see a copy of Last Crusade. You know he likes it.
You'd be like, no, fuck you.
Sean Connery getting thrown onto the tracks.
Him having to throw the whip on him.
I'm dying to agree with something.
No, I have to disagree with that too.
It's not.
I'm sorry.
It's so great.
The better Sean Connery role is in Last Crusade.
There we go.
That's accurate.
You can definitely agree with that.
I don't agree with that.
Alex, are you more of an Indiana Jones fan
or a Star Wars fan?
Same for you, David.
Well, I mean, I'm more of a Star Wars fan,
but Raiders, I think I enjoy more than any of them.
I probably spend more time thinking about Star Wars
than Raiders.
Yeah.
But I love Raiders.
I mentioned I saw it
10 times in the theater this summer
it came out.
And I was not a child.
Rightfully so.
I was an adult.
Back in the summer
of 81.
A good year for
a great year for movies.
What else is 81?
Wrath of Khan is 81.
Not much of a Trek guy.
More of a Wars guy.
I actually just watched
I re-watched J.J. Abrams'
Wrath of Khan the other day, actually.
Yeah, not as good.
So what happened to
J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies?
I liked the first one, but I didn't see any of the other ones.
Did they fall off a cliff?
Into Darkness was not great, but I will say the third one by Justin.
Justin Lin did the third one, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty enjoyable.
Escape from New York, by the way, David, was also 81.
Great movie.
That's right.
There's a lot of other movies.
Escape from New York is classic, yeah.
So this shot of him jumping onto the truck.
Yeah. So this shot of him jumping onto the truck, this is both inspired by,
and it was actually one of the inspirations of the movie,
was a movie serial called Zorro's Fighting Legion,
and the poster had Zorro jumping onto a truck from a horse.
And that, Lucas said, was like this main inspiration
for the kind of movie he wanted to make.
Wow. Lucas is
so good at, like, he always was
at capturing those visuals. Like, when you look at
the Ralph McQuarrie paintings and then the actual
frames, you're like, oh shit, he really
was able to nail that down.
Do either of you think
the new one's going to be any good?
No.
The new one?
New indie? No. New Indy? No.
Is that actually happening?
If it's Mangold, then I think it'll be good.
I mean, if he's...
Eh, true.
What do you do?
I feel like there's two options, though.
You do the Pass the Torch movie,
which they just tried to do with...
They didn't just try to do, but they tried to do with Crystal Skull.
Or you do, like,
the setting off?
I don't know.
I just think that whatever it is,
it's going to be whatever that script is.
This script is so tight.
The way the story moves
and the set pieces are so
organic to the story.
That's really where it's going to start and who are they going to get to write it.
And then, you know,
these guys were so inspired by thirties movie serials and they were like
imbuing the whole movie with that. You know, so that's the question is like,
what's, what's the inspiration. Who's the,
who's the person who's going to write that movie in my mind.
Here comes the cliff out of nowhere. Yeah. person who's going to write that movie. In my mind. That determines the whole thing.
Here comes the cliff
out of nowhere.
The largest cliff anyone's ever seen.
What happened to
sidecars, by the way, and motorcycles?
I love sidecars.
What happened to sidecars? You don't see them as often.
They had been Clone Wars, remember?
Soko was on a sidecar
the cliff out of nowhere so great
someone said hot take temple of doom is the most fun of the trilogy and i'll say
this that would probably be the most engaging for like a kid so i don't hate that argument
a young kid or something so i still i really like temple of
doom i always wanted to do the drop out of the plane in the in the inflatable raft it looked
like so much fun the opening sequence of temple of doom is phenomenal incredible and the obi-wan
bar yeah the uh that sequence jumping out of the plane was actually originally in the draft, first draft of Raiders.
The
amulet was supposedly split
in half and they had to go to China to get the first
half and then to Nepal to get
the second half. So that whole sequence of
him falling out of the plane and then he had to go
steal it from a museum and
they cut it. That's like the
Rise of Skywalker level MacGuffins.
A thing to find a thing to find a thing.
Exactly right.
To find another thing.
They're still finding it.
But luckily they have
Leia's lightsaber.
God damn it, man.
The
curse is in German. Rise of Skywalker just said, curses in German.
The rise and fall of it just reminded me of all these movies where the main actor died,
but they cobbled it together anyway.
You guys know Game of Death?
You know this Bruce Lee movie, Game of Death?
They had one sequence that he had fought with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
That's all they had.
The foot mark.
And then they had a double for Bruce Lee the rest of the movie. And then clips, they
created a story that said Bruce
Lee's character was an actor
filming Kung Fu movies.
So they had all these sequences from his
other movies in the movie.
It's this all together movie after
Bruce Lee died with
one finished sequence. And that's why I feel
watching Leia in that movie, it's like
is this from this movie or did
they just steal from
Russia?
Was that the only scene they had? I remember that
vividly, the one scene of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
kicking him and having the big foot mark on his chest.
Is that the one scene they had?
They had the one fight sequence
at the end where
he's going upstairs and he fights somebody else at each level.
That was the only thing they had finished.
That's the only thing I remember.
That makes me think I could make a movie.
When you say something like that, it's like,
we can make a movie. Come on.
I'm looking at 1981 movies now.
History of the World Part 1. Oh my god.
I could watch that right now.
I actually do love that now. Right after this is done, I could roll into that.
I actually do love that one.
Jesus face.
Yep.
This stunt was originally a stunt that was done in Stagecoach by a very famous stuntman whose name I don't know.
And a stuntman on Raiders pitched it to Spielberg.
Say, let's do this stunt of going in stagecoach.
He goes under stagecoach.
Here it's the truck.
Wow.
You're really showing how little you know about this movie,
not knowing the name of that stuntman.
That guy died so well.
He did.
The crusher.
Flying his legs up.
Yeah, well, you get to see it's like the
the wheel ran over the middle of his body and he was like
taps 1981 thief 1981 great movie great year for movies i think chariots of fire was 81 let's see
mad max 2 mad max 2 a little bit disrespected it's a pretty good movie of Fire was 81. Let's see.
Mad Max 2.
Mad Max 2, a little bit disrespected. It's a pretty good movie.
Road Warrior is a great movie.
Mad Max 2 is Road Warrior, isn't it?
Yeah, I think that might be the best one.
Evil Dead definitely didn't get a wide
shot.
Shout at the Devil era outfits as well.
I showed Road Warrior to my son right before
we went to see Fury Road, and he's
like, this movie is so fucking
dull.
And he saw Fury Road
and he was like, oh my god.
Really weird Indiana Jones theme
comment I just remembered. Remember when
Dwight Howard would do the Superman dunks
in a dunk contest? Yes.
One of the announcers, I think it might have been Kenny Smith,
after he dunked it, he started humming the Indiana Jones
theme.
It's such a nerd
slash sports fan combo moment.
You're like, no, no, sir.
That is wrong.
Das Boot was 81. I love Das Boot.
That's a great movie.
That's a great movie.
Classic movie.
You got to watch that one in
german the subtitles it's much better oh yeah so much better i think that they made a remake of
that pretty recently i did not watch it for all these reasons oh hey oh it was tv series right
yeah after our last stream alec i watched the lady killers oh what did you think i enjoyed it
it was like such a fun.
It reminded me of like,
I used to always watch like the honeymooners on new year's Eve or whatever
after the ball would drop.
And it reminded me of that.
Like after our streamers just late night throwing on an old movie,
I was like,
this is very enjoyable.
Yeah.
It's so much,
I mean,
it's much better than the remake and,
and just,
there was a lot of funny stuff in there.
I thought Alec Guinness was particularly hilarious.
Awesome.
And it was just cool.
I haven't seen him in a ton of things stuff in there. I thought Alec Guinness was particularly hilarious. Awesome and it was just cool. I haven't seen him in a ton
of things other than Star Wars. It was cool for me to
see Obi-Wan in such a different
weird, almost
mischievous role. Yeah, very
mischievous. Yeah. He's in a
movie called Kind Hearts and Cornets.
I love that one too. He plays like 10 parts,
right? This person's got to
kill all these relatives to get their money
and Alec Guinness plays every relative.
What is it called?
I'll write that one down too.
Kind Hearts and Cornets.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
It's great that he survives this movie
by the way because he seems like a character that definitely
shouldn't survive a movie like this.
Yeah.
If they make this today
he's gone.
He's having a second one with no explanation for merchandising. If they make this today, he's gone. Yeah, totally.
Stripes is 81 too.
With no explanation for merchandising.
It feels so dumb.
I didn't know Stripes is 81 either.
Stripes is such a good movie.
Yeah, and the first hour is very good.
I love Stripes though. It's great.
And great music.
That's Elmer Bernstein. That's Elmer Bernstein.
Yeah, Elmer Bernstein.
Seems like you took your sweet old time
here to heal Indy's wound.
Yeah.
With the hat on, too.
Oh, this is a great
joke, too.
The mirror?
Yeah, the mirror. Just zoom out of the whole boat for this
screen
what did you say
I know
that's awesome
I will never look like that
shirtless never
you're like 10 years older than he is right now.
I know.
Probably more.
I can't even imagine being that tan.
Right?
If I go outside, it's this or it's red.
Red. Yep.
This is me getting to bed every night, but I don't jump.
You don't have a gunshot wound.
I haven't been dragged by a truck, but still, I can't.
This is just the wear and tear of the day.
You know, while doing podcasting.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Tonight, this is going to be you.
I'm all ready.
I have the body of an old man because I have arthritis in my spine.
I have – I'm sitting on literally a massage pillow all day.
This is also me getting into bed every night.
I'm like – I'm like –
Great music.
Here's not so bad
Yeah it's good stuff
So suave
Yeah
Uh oh
He's off the looks of pro
I understand
We've all been there
Right gents?
Sure, yeah.
Is that Karen Allen on top of us kissing us?
Yeah.
All I can say is, well, Karen Allen's on top of us kissing us.
Like that.
This is good with the rats.
David, do you have any idea how they got them to do this?
Actually, it's completely accidental.
The rats were crazy.
They just filmed this crazy rat.
They didn't make it do anything.
Wow.
Actually, I think Kathleen Kennedy was doing the second unit on this,
and she said the rats were just nuts.
They were going around in circles.
There was just one crazy rat.
So it sounds like we won't be seeing the no They were going around in circles. There was one crazy rat. It sounds like
we won't be seeing the no animals
were harmed during the movie.
Between the 10,000 snakes
and the possibly poisoned rats.
What did they do with the snakes after
they finished killing them?
They rented them.
They rented the snakes.
From snake wranglers
serendipity is responsible for like so many great
film moments it's crazy this is a great
cue I love this the submarine
cue I think it's great yeah
yeah and then the
cue of him climbing aboard the submarine
later yes
I found him
this has a this scene has a couple board the submarine later. Yes. I found him.
This scene has a couple of great reads in it.
The Nazi guy we said earlier,
you have to watch his head when he says,
we will take what we wish, and then
decide whether or not to blow your ship
from the water.
He just crosses away
without looking at him. And then, of course,
the captain saying, Jones is dead. I killed him. Yeah without looking at him. And then, of course, the captain saying,
Jones is dead.
I killed him.
Yeah.
I killed him.
And also, you can totally see Marion's in the wind here.
Can I say...
Thank God we don't have the stream on screen.
Oh, yeah.
You can say a C word if you want.
It's more the B word because it's very B.
Oh, no. I was just saying you could say whatever you want on the screen.
Okay.
Oh.
She telegraphed that strike.
Yeah, she did.
She did.
Actually, speaking of using the word C word, as you guys would know about this because you mentioned
getting away with language on tv my favorite joke in any tv show ever is arrested development is when
uh jobe has the boat um the c word s-e-a-w-a-r-d is there and says great oh he says whatever you
do get rid of the c word she says I'll leave when I'm good and ready.
Is he even doing that?
Is that something you have to get around because it implies something that's definitely a word you can't say on TV?
Well, no.
I'm sure they did it very artfully there.
Because it fits as a boat. So if you can keep it fitting in one form of logic, then you can fight it the whole way.
Here it is.
Yeah. fight it the whole way. Oh, look. Here it is. Yeah!
That was very exciting.
The, uh...
When they go on the submarine, that's filmed.
That's like, you can see that it's just
somebody in a wig
walking in a coat. Like,
it's not them. It's like
you can sort of... It clearly is filmed
later.
It's not them.
Yeah.
I love the scene in Crusaders
when they turn around the thing
and the lady looks at them and smiles
for a second and goes,
Alarm!
It's one thing that always clicks in my brain for indie.
This is cool.
Harrison Ford doing this stunt is
amazing too. He's like climbing on
fucking submarines.
But also, this is the thing that I used to think about
because then they show the red
line of the sub going to whatever island.
Are we supposed to assume the
sub stayed? They film
this whole thing where he straps himself to the periscope
and the sub goes down.
So he's literally in the water while the sub is submerged.
They filmed it, but they didn't use it because I guess it didn't look good.
So it's like he takes his whip and straps himself to the periscope.
Wow.
How about that? I would say there you go. Did not know that. And you can see it. He takes his whip and straps himself to the periscope. Wow.
There you go. Did not know that.
You can see it. It's in the comic book adaptation.
Oh.
I can't talk about it.
The uniform gag here
is awesome. That's one of my favorite
gags.
This is the
first day of shooting.
Really? Holy shit.
Coming in hot with the Nazi flag.
Like, check it out.
Here we go.
For LCB fans, they'll know.
I should have done a book report on the comic book adaptation of this movie.
I always tell, in seventh grade, I did book reports,
and I eventually got in trouble on the novelization of the Sean Connery
and the Extraordinary Gentleman, Triple X with Vin Diesel.
The third one was whatever Terminator that one was that came out that year.
There was a kid who in one of my classes, I think it was like fourth grade,
had to do a book report and Goldfinger was on television.
So he did his book report on Goldfinger.
The teacher, of course, watches television.
She knows Goldfinger was on the night before,
but she just turns in his book report on Goldfinger.
Ha ha.
Such a great gag.
It's been in uniform.
I like he kind of understands that he needs
to comb his hair.
Loud. Loud, really loud
there's some guys like right behind you there who might see you
the way the hat just pops up
into his hand like an item in a video
game is amazing too
you and me both pal
he's more uncomfortable with jews than you are
so were you guys also young indie fans or were you out on that?
The only young indie I liked was River Phoenix and Last Crusade,
which I thought was a fantastic sequence.
But I didn't, I wasn't in on young indie.
I've never seen it personally.
It's very, he was very into like doing, making it educational.
But there was some great stuff in it all the way through.
They do the scar, right?
They show how he gets the scar.
He gets the whip.
That's in Crusaders.
Oh, that's the Crusade scene, yeah.
This is Star Wars Canyon where R2-D2
got scared.
These are the only facts I know are the facts you say
about Star Wars.
I know the fly thing here
that it flies away. He does not
actually eat it.
It looks like he ate it.
Oh, it's funny. I always thought he ate it.
He did an interview
years later where he said the frame rate
wasn't to speed and the fly
just flew off camera just in time.
Hmm.
Doesn't he have a straight-up
RPG here? Not even like an old-school rocket launcher, just a straight up RPG here?
Like not even like an old school rocket launcher,
just straight up RPG.
Yeah.
Oh.
I think what I liked about this movie,
even comparing to Last Crusade,
I mean, this character moment with like Indiana Jones and Belloc
and that he's more connected to Belloc than he is to Marion.
He's like, I got to see it.
I got to see it.
And that's like something we,
I don't think either of the sequels really captured at all.
Like the sort of character, that bit of his character.
That's fair, yeah.
But I love
the father-son stuff
in Last Crusade. I love that stuff.
Don't call me that!
Yeah.
And the, you know,
you're trying to kill us!
You know.
Oh, and they reveal
that he slept with
Jones Sr. slept with her too.
That's so great.
That's good stuff.
That's awesome. That's good.
Talks in her sleep.
That was it.
That was such a good chess move by Belloc.
I know.
He's really calling his bluff here.
Yeah.
The other thing, again, like, I'm sorry, I keep bringing up Tom Selleck.
Harrison Ford seems so smart.
You buy that he's a professor.
Yes.
I just don't know that I'd ever buy that Tom Selleck is a professor.
He's too cool.
He could be a gym teacher, I guess.
Yeah, gym teacher.
That was in his contract that if he was Indy, he had to wear very short shorts.
Like you could just picture
Selig with a whistle around his neck at all times.
Oh, yeah.
Great fate.
Now Selig's only on TV saying,
you know, reverse mortgages, aren't they?
And in
Star Wars Family Guy, the second one.
Oh, right.
Tom Selleck.
Tom Selleck.
Wait, I don't even remember that guy.
What was that kid?
It was when he's hanging upside down beneath Bespin and he says, oh, you know, Ben.
And he says, Tom Selleck.
And live action shot of Tom Selleck in bed like
that's a very funny joke
that episode is so funny
Kirkard is not
he got so Gus Grissom'd by me
in that whole process
hey fellas sorry to ditch out.
My wife's getting on me here.
I gotta go.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
You said it was your purpose.
Tuesday night Star Wars trivia.
She's on the door. I gotta go.
Good luck.
You guys are gonna get destroyed.
We're gonna get whooped.
Reminder, if you haven't heard us say that yet,
Alex Damon in Star Wars Explains is gonna be taking on Robbiebie kenjack and joey in star wars trivia he's gonna
kill taken on is like a bad way to put that yeah we're gonna get murdered he's treating us as like
a warm-up round how detailed are their questions i mean so i'm gonna write them i'm gonna make
them hard but this kid this they don't say kid he's's not a kid, he's more than us. He is like the Michael Jordan and LeBron combined in Star Wars trivia.
Like there is no goat, like he is unbelievable.
Undisputed.
Is that including all the movies?
Oh, that is including like the movies, the books, the canon, everything.
The characters in the comic books, yeah, it's unreal.
That's amazing.
YouTube channel, Star Wars Explained.
He's pretty good.
Here we go.
Imagine being one of these
background Nazis telling
all your boys the night before
like we're gonna fucking open the arts and i'll tell you all about it yeah i'll call you
afterwards bro when i get home it's a jewish thing yeah jewish ritual
there was a family guy gag for don't open your eyes right what was that from
i it's um i remember that they're both yeah it was a flash to it keep your eyes shut
i forget what it was
beautiful
and speaking of stop motion we're about to hit my favorite moment of stop motion history
with the melting face and the glasses.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
The turn to the demon.
The melting is such an amazing thing.
The Simpsons did that with the snowman,
I remember, in one of their earlier episodes.
I don't know how he knows that, but it's pretty important.
Definitely.
It's just a gut thing. He's like, I have
a feeling this is bad stuff.
If we're playing it safe, maybe just don't look.
Yeah, I know.
It's a good instinct.
And if you hear this, it's a good instinct. Yeah.
And if you hear this,
it's a good sign that, yeah,
shit's going wrong.
Keeping the eyes shut's a good idea.
Ah, there it is.
That's good stuff. Amazing.
Oh!
It can explode.
I've used that reaction gift probably more times than any.
Anytime something bad happens.
Robbie, that thing, you're a Yankees fan, right?
Oh, yeah, big time.
Were you at that thing where the girl had to call the game from the computer?
Unfortunately, yeah.
That was the goddamn funniest thing.
Oh, my God.
Watching highlights of that.
Of course, as a Red Sox fan, it was like the greatest thing to watch.
Yeah.
And the craziest thing was an umpire got hit by a pitch in that game,
and they had to replace him mid-game, and there was a 30-minute delay.
That never happens ever in baseball.
And she had to try to get that to us.
So, yeah, David, how did that come about? Because you guys didn't clean try to get that to us it was so yeah david how did that
come about like because you guys didn't clean the office was that what it was yeah and i i was at a
sarah borealis concert that concert that night i just watched like the final 15 minutes at the
office but we had chinese that delivered and it wasn't cleaned up uh the next morning we had
assumed that the cleaning crew was coming in they They were not. So it was a punishment.
Yeah.
So it was punishment.
They had to watch a Yankees playoff game,
but they couldn't see the screen and they had to have this,
this girl who didn't know like much about sports,
like kind of try and give them a play by play.
It was so funny.
It was so funny.
It was so funny.
All you guys ravenously like, so he's out.
He's out.
The best call where we like, she couldn't get to us that, yes,
they had finished the inning and gotten out of the jam.
And we were like, is it a commercial?
Is it a commercial?
She's like, no, it's a commercial.
We're like, oh!
I was in the background of that the entire time.
And I remember I kept saying to her, I forget who I was with,
it was like me and KB.
And I was like, if there's a situation where they get into a pickle,
there's no way that Ellie's going to be able to explain this to him.
There's no way she's going to be able to explain a rundown,
any of that.
And then that happened.
And I was like,
Oh my God,
no.
It's so funny.
Pork is sick.
Once again,
he's back.
Alec,
there's a whole subsection for family guy references to Indiana Jones on
Wikipedia.
It's own page.
Basically.
We definitely did a few. I thought there were only
like half a dozen. Meg defeats
the bully and exposes her grotesque
body, which causes the bully's face to melt
off.
That's right.
There's a
parody of the map scene where he puts the
staff of Ron on a stick at the attic and
makes the beam of light.
Yes. Peter the map scene where he puts the staff of Ron on a stick at the attic and makes the beam of light.
Peter fights with a giant chicken and it ends in the flying wing.
Let's see.
This warehouse thing
at the end.
Think about how many
times there were
like there's all television series that
steals this idea.
Yeah.
Warehouse whatever 13 or whatever. there's all television series that steals this idea. Yeah. It's like, this is such
an amazing, iconic
thing.
It's so great.
That's another thing in support of how great
this movie is. It's like the very first shot
and sequence is awesome.
The very last shot, they're both so memorable.
Perfect, yeah.
Oh, we did it, guys.
This is just the biggest
mystery
awaits thing. Makes you want more.
Yeah.
So good, guys.
Tremendous.
It's iconic
in the sense that whenever you have...
What did we just watch? Adventure movie-wise.
It wants it to be indie.
Anything that is like this, you get the indie
come.
Tom Selleck
has this sort of
booby prize. He did this movie, High Road to
China.
It's like the 1930s.
You just can't set a movie
in the 1930s and make an adventure
and think it's going to be good.
There's so much that went into this movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know.
Oh, no, now I'm switching to dead to me.
Yeah, so trying to put on Have a Good Trip, Adventures in Psychedelics. No, no, no, no.
Alec, Alec, it's S-C-O-O-B exclamation point.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going after it. It's going back to Hollywood's Ryan Murphy's. Yeah, yeah. OOB exclamation point.
It's going back to Hollywood's Ryan Murphy's.
Yeah.
I heard not great things about that one.
Yeah.
We already did our interviews.
I won't comment on it.
Thanks guys.
That was a lot of fun.
That was a blast.
Yeah.
Thank you.
