Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:40 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,
Starting point is 00:00:57 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
Starting point is 00:01:15 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
Starting point is 00:01:45 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?
Starting point is 00:02:13 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.
Starting point is 00:02:34 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.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Literally. Yes. I'm trying to reduce the size of my Alfred Molina. Yeah. Yeah. My lookalike. Alfred Molina King. King.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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
Starting point is 00:03:26 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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.
Starting point is 00:03:55 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.
Starting point is 00:04:06 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,
Starting point is 00:04:24 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.
Starting point is 00:04:39 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:11 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
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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.
Starting point is 00:06:15 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.
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:57 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?
Starting point is 00:07:13 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?
Starting point is 00:07:33 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.
Starting point is 00:07:53 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
Starting point is 00:08:28 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.
Starting point is 00:08:46 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,
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 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.
Starting point is 00:09:28 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.
Starting point is 00:09:48 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.
Starting point is 00:10:08 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
Starting point is 00:10:31 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...
Starting point is 00:10:46 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I like it a lot. I've seen it on par with any other movie. I've seen it many, many times. It's so good. The Krogan fucking... that's the guy that um uh that voices the krogan the kurgan yeah the kurgan um shoot what's his name i usually always know his name oh my gosh this guy voices mr krabs which is deranged fact but oh he's not the guy from shawshank yeah he's the warden from shaw not warden the

Starting point is 00:12:44 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.
Starting point is 00:13:01 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
Starting point is 00:13:17 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.
Starting point is 00:13:35 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.
Starting point is 00:13:50 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.
Starting point is 00:14:04 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.
Starting point is 00:14:21 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
Starting point is 00:15:03 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
Starting point is 00:15:19 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.
Starting point is 00:15:49 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.
Starting point is 00:16:14 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.
Starting point is 00:16:57 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
Starting point is 00:17:47 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.
Starting point is 00:18:02 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.
Starting point is 00:18:19 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
Starting point is 00:19:07 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
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:04 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.
Starting point is 00:20:35 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
Starting point is 00:21:04 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.
Starting point is 00:21:24 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
Starting point is 00:21:42 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.
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:47 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...
Starting point is 00:23:03 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
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:34 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.
Starting point is 00:23:58 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.
Starting point is 00:24:18 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.
Starting point is 00:24:51 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?
Starting point is 00:25:14 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.
Starting point is 00:25:26 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.
Starting point is 00:25:43 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
Starting point is 00:26:11 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.
Starting point is 00:26:27 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.
Starting point is 00:26:49 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.
Starting point is 00:27:07 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
Starting point is 00:27:30 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?
Starting point is 00:27:45 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.
Starting point is 00:28:03 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.
Starting point is 00:28:20 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?
Starting point is 00:28:35 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.
Starting point is 00:28:54 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.
Starting point is 00:29:13 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.
Starting point is 00:29:29 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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
Starting point is 00:30:01 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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.
Starting point is 00:30:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:44 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...
Starting point is 00:31:10 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
Starting point is 00:31:24 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.
Starting point is 00:31:53 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
Starting point is 00:32:08 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?
Starting point is 00:32:23 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...
Starting point is 00:32:44 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
Starting point is 00:33:02 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
Starting point is 00:33:19 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
Starting point is 00:33:38 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
Starting point is 00:34:08 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.
Starting point is 00:34:25 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.
Starting point is 00:34:42 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.
Starting point is 00:34:58 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.
Starting point is 00:35:15 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.
Starting point is 00:35:28 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,
Starting point is 00:35:36 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.
Starting point is 00:35:56 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
Starting point is 00:36:12 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.
Starting point is 00:36:28 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.
Starting point is 00:36:44 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
Starting point is 00:36:59 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.
Starting point is 00:37:36 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.
Starting point is 00:37:55 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
Starting point is 00:38:12 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.
Starting point is 00:38:29 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,
Starting point is 00:38:39 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.
Starting point is 00:39:08 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.
Starting point is 00:39:24 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.
Starting point is 00:39:36 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
Starting point is 00:39:51 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.
Starting point is 00:40:08 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.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Snitch monkey. God damn it. Nazi monkey. Yeah. He gets his. Here we go. Here we go. Wait.
Starting point is 00:40:42 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.
Starting point is 00:41:00 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,
Starting point is 00:41:23 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.
Starting point is 00:41:36 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.
Starting point is 00:42:13 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
Starting point is 00:42:28 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.
Starting point is 00:42:44 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.
Starting point is 00:43:03 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
Starting point is 00:43:17 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.
Starting point is 00:43:46 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
Starting point is 00:44:00 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.
Starting point is 00:44:27 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.
Starting point is 00:44:45 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
Starting point is 00:45:06 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.
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:50 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
Starting point is 00:46:05 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
Starting point is 00:46:50 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
Starting point is 00:47:08 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.
Starting point is 00:47:23 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.
Starting point is 00:47:50 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.
Starting point is 00:48:04 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
Starting point is 00:48:31 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
Starting point is 00:49:10 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
Starting point is 00:49:26 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.
Starting point is 00:49:42 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
Starting point is 00:49:56 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
Starting point is 00:50:13 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.
Starting point is 00:50:27 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
Starting point is 00:50:54 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
Starting point is 00:51:18 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.
Starting point is 00:51:37 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.
Starting point is 00:51:52 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.
Starting point is 00:52:12 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
Starting point is 00:52:43 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.
Starting point is 00:53:07 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,
Starting point is 00:53:23 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...
Starting point is 00:53:37 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.
Starting point is 00:54:02 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.
Starting point is 00:54:18 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.
Starting point is 00:54:45 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.
Starting point is 00:55:02 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.
Starting point is 00:55:29 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?
Starting point is 00:55:42 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.
Starting point is 00:55:58 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.
Starting point is 00:56:14 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.
Starting point is 00:56:31 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
Starting point is 00:56:47 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.
Starting point is 00:57:15 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?
Starting point is 00:57:37 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.
Starting point is 00:57:56 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.
Starting point is 00:58:13 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.
Starting point is 00:58:30 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.
Starting point is 00:58:45 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.
Starting point is 00:59:00 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.
Starting point is 00:59:18 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.
Starting point is 00:59:38 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
Starting point is 00:59:55 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?
Starting point is 01:00:19 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.
Starting point is 01:00:45 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
Starting point is 01:01:05 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
Starting point is 01:01:33 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.
Starting point is 01:02:12 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.
Starting point is 01:02:29 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.
Starting point is 01:02:44 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
Starting point is 01:03:09 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.
Starting point is 01:03:26 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.
Starting point is 01:03:41 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?
Starting point is 01:04:00 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.
Starting point is 01:04:33 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,
Starting point is 01:04:49 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.
Starting point is 01:05:12 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
Starting point is 01:05:30 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
Starting point is 01:05:55 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.
Starting point is 01:06:13 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?
Starting point is 01:06:29 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
Starting point is 01:06:54 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,
Starting point is 01:07:21 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
Starting point is 01:07:48 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.
Starting point is 01:08:05 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.
Starting point is 01:08:25 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
Starting point is 01:08:43 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.
Starting point is 01:08:53 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
Starting point is 01:09:06 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
Starting point is 01:09:42 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.
Starting point is 01:10:06 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.
Starting point is 01:10:21 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.
Starting point is 01:10:53 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
Starting point is 01:11:09 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.
Starting point is 01:11:33 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.
Starting point is 01:11:51 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
Starting point is 01:12:23 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
Starting point is 01:12:41 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
Starting point is 01:12:58 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,
Starting point is 01:13:30 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
Starting point is 01:13:44 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
Starting point is 01:14:00 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.
Starting point is 01:14:15 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.
Starting point is 01:14:26 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.
Starting point is 01:14:48 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...
Starting point is 01:15:04 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.
Starting point is 01:15:24 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.
Starting point is 01:15:40 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.
Starting point is 01:15:58 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,
Starting point is 01:16:18 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.
Starting point is 01:16:38 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.
Starting point is 01:16:52 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.
Starting point is 01:17:08 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.
Starting point is 01:17:16 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.
Starting point is 01:17:34 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
Starting point is 01:17:52 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.
Starting point is 01:18:12 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.
Starting point is 01:18:29 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.
Starting point is 01:18:46 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.
Starting point is 01:19:13 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.
Starting point is 01:19:27 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.
Starting point is 01:19:45 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.
Starting point is 01:20:12 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.
Starting point is 01:20:29 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.
Starting point is 01:20:48 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
Starting point is 01:21:13 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.
Starting point is 01:21:42 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
Starting point is 01:22:00 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.
Starting point is 01:22:18 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.
Starting point is 01:22:30 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.
Starting point is 01:22:43 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
Starting point is 01:23:01 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.
Starting point is 01:23:12 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.
Starting point is 01:23:30 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.
Starting point is 01:23:46 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.
Starting point is 01:23:58 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.
Starting point is 01:24:21 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.
Starting point is 01:24:38 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...
Starting point is 01:24:50 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?
Starting point is 01:25:06 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.
Starting point is 01:25:26 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.
Starting point is 01:25:49 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
Starting point is 01:26:08 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
Starting point is 01:26:49 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.
Starting point is 01:27:06 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.
Starting point is 01:27:30 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
Starting point is 01:27:48 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
Starting point is 01:28:03 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?
Starting point is 01:28:19 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.
Starting point is 01:28:39 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.
Starting point is 01:28:59 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.
Starting point is 01:29:20 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.
Starting point is 01:29:47 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
Starting point is 01:30:04 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
Starting point is 01:30:22 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.
Starting point is 01:30:37 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
Starting point is 01:31:03 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.
Starting point is 01:31:16 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.
Starting point is 01:31:24 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.
Starting point is 01:31:37 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.
Starting point is 01:31:53 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.
Starting point is 01:32:08 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.
Starting point is 01:32:26 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?
Starting point is 01:32:46 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.
Starting point is 01:33:06 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.
Starting point is 01:33:29 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.
Starting point is 01:33:52 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
Starting point is 01:34:17 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.
Starting point is 01:34:39 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.
Starting point is 01:34:54 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
Starting point is 01:35:14 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
Starting point is 01:35:32 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.
Starting point is 01:35:50 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,
Starting point is 01:36:06 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.
Starting point is 01:36:20 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.
Starting point is 01:36:42 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.
Starting point is 01:37:15 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
Starting point is 01:37:39 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
Starting point is 01:37:57 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.
Starting point is 01:38:13 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.
Starting point is 01:38:34 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.
Starting point is 01:38:54 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.
Starting point is 01:39:13 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,
Starting point is 01:39:50 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.
Starting point is 01:40:16 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
Starting point is 01:40:49 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.
Starting point is 01:41:31 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
Starting point is 01:41:49 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
Starting point is 01:42:06 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.
Starting point is 01:42:36 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,
Starting point is 01:42:57 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.
Starting point is 01:43:17 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.
Starting point is 01:43:32 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.
Starting point is 01:44:06 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.
Starting point is 01:44:28 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.
Starting point is 01:44:47 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
Starting point is 01:45:05 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.
Starting point is 01:45:30 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,
Starting point is 01:45:43 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.
Starting point is 01:46:20 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
Starting point is 01:46:45 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.
Starting point is 01:47:28 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.
Starting point is 01:47:53 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,
Starting point is 01:48:10 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.
Starting point is 01:48:33 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.
Starting point is 01:48:51 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
Starting point is 01:49:15 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.
Starting point is 01:49:36 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?
Starting point is 01:49:50 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.
Starting point is 01:50:05 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.
Starting point is 01:50:15 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
Starting point is 01:50:27 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
Starting point is 01:50:43 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
Starting point is 01:51:01 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
Starting point is 01:51:17 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.
Starting point is 01:51:32 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
Starting point is 01:51:47 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
Starting point is 01:52:03 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.
Starting point is 01:52:21 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.
