It's a game that we played once before, but I don't think Jeff participated.

I'm Eric. I'm here with Andrew, Gavin, and now Jeff for the first time ever. I definitely didn't play it last time, and I am very excited to play it with you guys this time. What did you say the game was called again? Regulation Over Under. Oh, okay. It's weird. It looks to me like it's called IMDB, higher or lower game, but.

Well, that's because we're using higher or lower game.com, you dunts, because that is where we are going to get our ratings for this first leg of the game. Last time we did some box office results, and that is what we're going to go with. That's what we're going to start with again last time, or this time. That's because last time, I think I used a different site. This time I'm using higher or lower game.com. These get updated every so often.

I want to say 2024 was the last time. The box office movies were updated, so we'll have to see. But guys, this is a simple game. It's going to give you two, and you're going to tell me which one is the higher of the box office scores. Does that all make sense, Gavin? Does that, is that coming through? Higher gross. Is that what you mean by box office score?

Yeah, I have a question for Andrew. Yep. Okay. Do you remember all six movies that were over a billion dollars? No, I don't. I was going to say, though, so Jeff knows, only six. Because he wasn't there. You got to remember Jeff, only six over a billion.

I feel like I can name those. Okay. Yeah, yeah, you know what? Shockingly, you might be able to name more than six. But we're going to get started here, box office movies. This was updated in August of 2024, so something to keep in mind. We're going to get going right now. Guys, sing 2016 or Speed, 1994, which had the higher box office.

Now remember, get ready for rush hour, speed. Kianu, Sandra Bullock, 1994. Singh has, look at all these names for a movie you've never seen. Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarland, Tori Kelly, whoever that is, John C. Riley, Terran Egerton, oh, Taryn Agerton, Scarlett Johansson. Wow, the gang's all here. Here's what I'm going to say. I live through 1994 as an adult and I lived through Singh, or 2016 as an adult.

And I remember Speed being a big deal and I don't remember that Singh existed. So I'm thinking maybe speed Oh, I don't know I sing is big Sing is really big They were happy meal toys Oh well then go with sing I've never heard of it

I just I'm surprised Scarlett Johansson Has lower billing than Seth McFarlane But I guess it is a singing thing Is it animated? It is animated Yeah it's like an animated Singing contest thing Yeah it's got this

It's got like this What is this Some kind of animal Coala up at the top That's koala They hid the main character of the show in a window at the top of the poster. Oh, is this, is seeing the movie with Nick Kroll as like a pig? Maybe, I don't know.

He didn't, he didn't make the marquee. Why isn't he on the bloody sign? Because they had to make room for Seth McFarlane. Terran Egerton had to be on there. I am worried that speed got less. I mean, partly for inflation and also, I feel like some of these big old blockbuster summer movies from the 90s didn't actually do that well at the box office. Oh, interesting. They did well at the box office for the time. Yeah, for the time. So there's three of you, so we can never have a tie, which is nice. So I'm going to let you

vote. Which one do you think is the higher grossing here? I'm voting to sing. There's like three Sing movies, I think. I vote Singh hoping that it's actually speed. I'm going to vote speed knowing that I'll be wrong. Okay, sing it is. Here it is. 634 million to 350 million. Guys, you are 1 and 0. Now, sing. Sing, higher. Sing is 633. $34 million or Guardians of the Galaxy from 2014, which is the higher of the two. Can I ask a question with us? Absolutely. Is this domestic or international?

No, it has to be international. No, no, I believe it's international. There are six movies over a billion dollars, as you know. It's got to be guardians, then. Could you imagine a domestic movie, Jeff, that made $634 million that you weren't aware of? I mean, yeah, I'm pretty clueless these days. I mean, it's impressive. That's a lot of people seeing it.

Yeah, I don't think Clueless made that much. I still had no knowledge of a movie that made $600 million across our beautiful world, which is interconnected via the internet. Speaking of $600 million, that's the number that it has to beat. So is Guardians of the Galaxy higher or lower than sing. I think Guardians of the Galaxy is your pick. And it made $773 million. Next, Madagascar Escape the Numer. Number two, Africa from 2008.

It's a Ben Stiller joint. Yeah. What do you guys think? Those movies are huge. They were big. I was the right age demographic for them. So maybe they felt bigger than they were. Once again, Happy Meal Toy situation.

Leemers were the first minions, I would say. People fucking love those little guys and they do their dumb song. And they were like the weird subset. I'm going to tweet right now, Leavers for the first minions. Isn't Chris Rock in Madagascar? It's, yeah, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer, and Ben Stiller. Yeah. I'm going to say under because of the time period, but...

Okay. Thoughts, boys? Tough. I think Guardians made more money. I know they made a third one, and that's actually the best one, but that one was kind of disappointing. Gavin? Loa. Okay, so you think, so do you think Guardians of the Galaxy made more?

Go Guardians. Let's go Guardians. Got it. Guardians. Oh, 603 from Madagascar 2. So Guardians was more, but now... Minions. The first minions versus the current minions? Minors.

Minors were the first minions. Holy shit. I got to go minions. People fucking love those minions. They're everywhere. Did they love them from the get-go, though? Or did they... No, well, here's the thing.

They had like two or three despicable means before this came out. Oh, right. Minions was not the first Minions. Yeah. They got their own movie because of how love they were from

Despicable Me. Oh, it's got to be minions then. It's got to be minions. Yeah. I like, I just want to, looking at these movie posters,

this is the most 2008 thing where it is the loudest greenest thing that is like slaving in your face and this is just banal and it says, uh-oh. That's awesome.

It's the Apple store of posters. Yeah, no kidding. So you guys are going with minions as the higher, yes? Yes. Okay, $603 million for Madagascar 2. Minions, one of the six over a billion dollars. Oh, wow. But now, millions are uncharted, a movie that I saw in theaters.

You're the first person I've ever met that has seen uncharted. Congratulations. I saw that movie in theaters with Michael Jones. then when the guy who voices Nathan Drake shows up in the movie is like an Easter egg, he leaned over to me and he went, that's Nathan Drake. This movie sucked. But whether it sucks or not has no bearing on how much money it made.

I think it does. I think it does. I think it's over a billion. Well, minions made over a billion. So what do you guys think? Which one made more here? I mean, it does have Antonio Pandaris in it. Loa.

Yeah. Yeah. Minions definitely made more money. Okay. Minions, it is. 400. I'm amazed that made that much money. That had all to be overseas.

Okay. And now it's uncharted 2022 at 407 million versus 300, 300 rise of an empire. And I want to be clear that this is 300 rise of an empire from 2014, not the 300 movie that people have seen. Right. I've never seen this. I didn't know this existence.

did maybe. You got to think about international for a minute. Is this the one that Eva Green was in? Yes. Was she in this? Why did you say yes? I don't even know who Eva Green is. Why did you say yes? Well, because I, that feels right, but she is also in Sin City a dame to kill for? And I was like, is she just in these weird sequels that nobody saw? I only know it from Casino Royale. Sounds like you know her from 300 Rise of the Empire.

Like, tonally, it would be very funny if Eva Green is in both 300, Rye of an empire and Sin City at Damonville. Just like two late sequels? Uh, I, I'm uncharted. I was doing a box office league when 300 Rise of an Empire came out. So I'm aware that like it kind of underperformed domestically. Underperformed. Well, I think if you make a 300 sequel, you have some expectation of what it will return.

And based on those expectations that didn't deliver. Definitely didn't match the original. However, International's tricky, I feel like, with a movie like 300, Rise of an Empire. I think $400 million is a lot to beat for a shit. For that hunk of shit. By the way, Uncharted looks like an absolute hunk of shit. So it's like picking what's worse, a dog turd or a horse turd.

Yeah, I'd go Uncharted as the higher one. Okay, Uncharted from Andrew. Jeff, what do you think? Definitely Uncharted. And Gavin, what do you think? Yeah, I think I'm going to do the same. Okay, uncharted, we're saying, is the higher of the two. Let's see, 407 million.

Wow, 337 million for a movie I've never heard of. Pretty exciting. Oh, 300, rise of an empire at 337 million. It's Star Wars, Episode 4, A New Hope from 1977. Yeah, but is this going to include all the re-releases? I don't believe so, I think this is just from 1977. Because it made a couple hundred million in, like, 98 or 99. when everyone was seeing Star Wars

like 15 times in theaters was that the first one or was that the later ones? Like Bernie Bernie saw Star Wars like 42 times the summer came out or something Wow Yeah like it became a thing

where everybody in his family wanted to take him to see it So I guess he had 40 people in his family I could see a new hope being higher But it's $77 Here's real A New Hope is definitely higher If it includes the multiple

re-releases. If it doesn't, I don't think there's any way it touches 300 million. So I did, I was doing a thing where I looked at like the top 10 highest box office from 1970 to like 20, 22 or something. And there were movies I remember in the 70s being like comparable to what I felt was big releases now for domestic. Like a love story, uh, made an insane amount of money. Let's go Star Wars then. I would go Star Wars. Andrew seems to be, Andrew seems to be making the case for Star Wars and then not committing. Well, first of all, I've never seen this movie. I also, it came out way before my time.

Like, I've got, I'm the worst point of reference for this. It came out before all, I was two years old when it came out. I came out before all of our time. I'm okay with trying Star Wars. I just, that's a lot of money to make in 1977. But it was, I mean, it was a huge phenomenon. People saw it so many times. And it was just called Star Wars, this one, right?

It wasn't actually called episode four yet. Not yet. Yeah, I think it was just called Star Wars. Yeah, let's say Star Wars. I'd say Star Wars. Okay, here we go. Star Wars, 337 million. That has got to include its re-releases.

That can't be the box from back then. Otherwise, it would have been the highest-quested film of all time until Titanic. And it wasn't. That's incredible. Yeah, and now it's head-to-head with Kong, Skull Island from 2017. Oh, that was a pretty good movie. This one asked like the China Factor, doesn't it? Like, I bet China...

Watch the shit of this movie. The China Factor. And you think Star Wars is lacking the China factor? I think like that it was. Oh, yeah, this is... I wonder how many more movie theaters there are in China in 2025 versus 1977. I will say. And this is just, I don't know, I know how much weight we want to put into this.

But Kong Skoll Island ends in a way that they're setting up for more story that they never deliver on. which makes me wonder if financially it did not hit what they were hoping for. But didn't it result in Godzilla Kong movie? I didn't see those, but I don't think Tom Hiddleston or the other person ever came back

and it felt like they were central to what they were setting up. John C. Riley? He was in that one, right? I didn't see him. Yes, John C. Riley is in Kong's solid. He was the best part of that movie, right? He's like, we're all going to die. I don't even remember him. You're good boys. You're good boys.

I remember Eli from Boardwalk with his grenades. Oh, that was awesome. That part was so good. You shouldn't have come to this island. I would guess lower, to be honest. You think Kong Skull Island is under the 775 million of Star Wars. I do. Yeah, let's do it.

Otherwise, it would be a hugely talked about movie, wouldn't it? It felt like it was inescapable at the time, because everyone talked to me about it. But Star Wars, Episode 4 is what we're going with. as the higher. Oh, Kongskarled, $568 million as it is shuffled out

and now Kong Skull Islands $568 million against Casino Royale. Does I have Eva Green in it? Yes, who's Eva Green? The star of 302, Eva Green. I'll look up Eva Green.

Oh, I know. Yeah, I know her. So what do you think, Gavin? What's your guts telling you right here? To be honest, I think I'm always surprised at how low these Bond movie box office results are. Oh, is that right? You think it did less than $568 million globally?

I'd be shocked. Maybe not less than that, but I feel like it's going to be similar because Bond was pretty, Bond was in the shitter at this point when this movie came out. That's definitely true. Bond was in the shitter until this movie came out. This was the big resurrection and it was like, it was marketed as such, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

I think it's definitely over. I think it's got to be over as well. I think it'll be over, but it's close. Okay. That's like 670 or something. I'm going to go 785. 6.16. Barely squeaking over.

But next, it's Transformers. Age of Extinction from 2014. I don't know which one this is. It is just simply age of extinction. It's the Mark Wahlberg one. It's the first kind of reboot one, I think. Or did Bumble B come out before this? I think it's the only one I've ever seen.

Is this the T.J. Miller one? Yes. Okay. I think that made a lot of money. But did it make more than 616 million? I have no idea about this one. All these movies make so much money. At least the first three did.

I mean, I bet it made $300 million in the U.S. alone. Also, I forget the sequencing. Like, is this before the last night? Is this post the last night? Oh, that's the one I've seen the last night. What is the last night? It's the Anthony Hopkins Transformers movie. What?

Fuck it. That sentence fucking sucks shit. I think that Transformers does really well globally too. I think I would, I would tend to lead towards Transformers. Yeah, then what's the China factor feel on this one? I reckon China probably put in at least 500 mil of its own. Right? Yeah.

Do you think this is going to be one of the six? It could be. To be honest, it would not. surprise me if this was one of the six. Let's do it. All right, then let's go with Transformers Age of Extinction, 2014, to beat 616 million. What? One of the six.

For one billion, it's one of the six, but now, boys. Oh, no. It's tough because Transformers' Age of Extinction is going head to head with Transformers, Dark of the Moon, Dark of the Moon. Could this be two of the six on the same page? Oh, shit. Fuck. What made more?

What made? More. One billion dollars is what we're looking at for Transformers. Age of Extinction. $1,104 million. Transformers, Dark of the Moon. What do you think? The question is, was age of extinction riding the high of what people view as one of this good Transformers

movies trilogy? Based on the poster, yes. Or was the decline from Dark of the Moon downwards? It is almost. The exact same person, the moon sucked. They all look like that. Oh, God, that's really funny. That is a shocking similarity there, just glancing at them.

The woman is in the exact same spot. That's crazy. I can't see the woman because of the text. I don't think that's Megan Fox. I think this is the one without Megan Fox. Rosie Huntington Whitley, maybe. What's that a name? Yeah.

One of the non-American supermodels. That's true That's how I knew her from that Trivial Pursuit video That probably has come out It's true And when you're screaming about that In a few months

People are going to remember this I forgot about that I have no idea I would have absolutely no idea about this one Who's a bigger box office draw Mark Wahlberg or Shail LeBuff But I don't I think it's Optimus Prime

I don't think Yeah but he's in both So we have to... Yeah, he's clearly in both. He's right there both times. I mean, his head's kind of cut off in the other one. Yeah, but so's the bottom.

I think we're just kind of pushed in a little bit. Yeah, I know what I'm saying? This is tough. This is so tough. I just can't imagine a Transformers movie... Another $1.1 billion. I can't imagine the Transformers Dark of the Moon beating $1.1 billion

because I can't imagine any Transformers movie making $1.1 billion, but one clearly did. I can't believe that on paper both of these movies are better. than Casino Royale. Yeah, yeah, better. On paper, both of these movies are better than anything we've seen so far today.

These are the best movies ever made. So this Age of Extinction beat Guardians in 2014. Oh, it's better. Yeah. It didn't just beat it. It beat the shit out of it. Beat the fucking shit. Pummeled the shit.

Yep. What do you think, boys? Oh, man. It's tough because, like, quality doesn't matter. Not at all. Zero. No shit. Have a look. Clearly it doesn't matter.

Oh, boy. I would go age of extinction, I think. Age of extinction from Andrew. Gavin, what do you think? But it's 50-50 in my eye. Yeah, there's that like delay. As the movies go downhill, the box office needs like a movie

to realize that they're going downhill. I think Jeff bringing up that we know that that made $1.1 billion makes me want to pick it. I think if we didn't know the number of either, I would probably go dark at the man. Yeah. All right.

I'm fine with going to age of extinction. Jeff, you're going to age of extinction as well? I mean, majority rule, so my answer doesn't really matter. But yeah, I would go with age of extinction.

You're definitely a part of this. Yeah. It's very swayable, I feel like for both of this. No, no, I know. I think we're all pretty, we're all pretty malleable right now. I could be bought as well.

I'm ready to sell out. I wonder which one of these movies Michael Bailer. like some more. Great question. Probably the one that made the most money. Yeah, probably, I would think so. Transformers, Age of Extinction,

$1.1 billion is what we're choosing over Transformers, Dark of the Moon. Here we go. Whoa! Dark of the Moon! Dark of the Moon! Dark of the Moon, $1.123 billion.

Wow. Guys. Guys, you got 10. That was a tough question there. That was a really tough. one that's the way it goes with regulation over under you never know you never know what it could be you know what would be a torturous piece of content for us to to create what's that we were doing wheel of decades right now which is tv based and we're watching uh well currently we're watching

charmed and then we're going to have to vote again real soon to see if we're going to continue to watch charm or not what if we had a wheel where we had to watch movie franchises and we ended up having to watch all 900 Transformers movies oh i just don't even want to i don't even want to broach that I tried to watch the first one three separate times and I just couldn't get past 45 minutes any of the three times. The Lincoln Park one? And that's a good one

considering. Yeah, I know. I saw the night one because it was on a plane and I had nothing else to do and it was atrocious. Yeah. Well, I think the second one was the first time I started yawning in the middle of an action scene. Oh, that's brutal. God. Well, boys, your score here was tough, but we're going to go into another one, and this is a Spotify, higher, or lower game.

Oh, no. And this is going to be artists, monthly listeners. Love it. This was updated in January of 2025, so January of this year, higher or lower on these monthly listeners. I'm so excited for you guys to have a choice here. Some 41 in Pearl Jam, who had the higher monthly listeners? All right, everybody roll your brains back six months.

I would assume Pearl Jam You would assume Pearl Jam Just based on quality of music But I will say Some 41 is going through Some sort of a resurgence in the last year or so I feel like They just put out their final album

They did without their drummer When did they put it out though Did they put it out before January? I think around January Yeah maybe not I would still go Pearl Jam All right let's go Pearl Jam as well Gavin what do you think

Sure Pearl Jam 14 million. Oh, so we got Pearl Jam going up against Rich the Kid. Gavin, what do you think about Rich the Kid in his success alongside Pearl Jam? Never heard of Rich the Kid, so I assume much more successful than Pearl Jam. Yeah, but what about the China Factor with Rich the Kid? I don't know how the China factor works with music.

I'm not sure. I have no information. It's Spotify in China. Anytime it is older artist against an artist named The Kid. I'm always going to go, The Kid. We going with the kid? Yeah, my line of thinking as well is this is somebody who is clearly young that I have never heard of.

So they must be massive. All right, all right. Rich the kid going up against Pearl James, 14 million monthly listens. Rich the kid, five million. Boys are sunk. We suck. Can we do that one again?

You want to do that one more time? Yeah, let's see that one more time. No problem. Cardi B against Charlie XX. Now remember, this is January. Charlie XX. This is a post-Brass summer, right? Yeah, but still probably

riding a little bit high on Bradsonor. Yeah. Pretty close, close, though. 32 million. Yeah, 32 million for Charlie X-E-X. Oh, no. Against Kaigo. What do you think?

Kigo? Kigo. It looks like EDM, not my wheelhouse. I'm gonna stick with Charlie X-C-X because I don't want it to be him just based on his hat. Just based on his hat? Well, it's the way he's wearing his hat

and making that face just tells me I don't, I just, I would rather her be have the success. He does have a Billy the Bass look in that photo. Tough. Tough. Yeah, Charlie. Okay, Charlie and Gavin, what do you think? Are you still celebrating

a Brat Summer at this point? I think so. Yeah. Okay. He looks like a bully's sidekick in the 90s. Oh, I can see it with the hat. Yeah. He looks like the guy from clerks. He does. Randall? He does. Wow.

Look at that. Oh, my God. Okay, neck, 31 million. But now here's 31 million against Caliuchis. I mean, your Kaigo all the way. I'm Kai-Go, I got to go, Kai-Go as well. 31. Okay.

Yeah. In a world or which I don't know either. I lost. Oh, fuck. No! He lost. My Spotify is so incredibly different than this Spotify. Well, guys, I know that that one's tough.

We can do it one more time, but I have another one locked and loaded. If you're not feeling the Spotify one, I know it's, Let's do another one. I think we know... You want a different one? Yeah. I think we've established where we're... Shield your eyes.

Shield your eyes because you're not going to like what we're about to see. Oh, cause of closed. All right. Guess which Mr. Beast video has more views on YouTube. A game of higher or lower video stats for Mr. Beast. Updated July, 24. Guys, now which of these is going to have? He's suck.

Last YouTuber to leave wins $100,000 challenge. Or I built Willie Won. Dunk's Chocolate Factory. Gavin, China Factor. Which one? Oh, mad. I try to think if I've ever seen one of these videos. Also, who are all those YouTubers?

What do you mean? Well, one of them has $100,000. Okay. So, you know. I feel like the ones with money in the title might do better. Uh-huh. Yeah. I've also never seen any of these.

Uh-huh. I'm going off of the one that uses an established brand already. Oh, smart. Very smart. Jeff, any thoughts? His face is going to be bigger on that thumbnail. Mm-hmm. I will say also, yeah, there's got to be broader reach. The funnel's got to be bigger for a Wonka video than... Although Gavin's right about money.

Putting money on the title is a big deal. I would argue that that's probably most of the reason that dude is successful to begin with. Got to make a choice here. Which one has more views? Andrew says Wonka. Oh, fuck. I'll say Wonka. It's two for Wonka.

Gavin, Gavin, do you still think it's the YouTube one, or do you think it might be Wonka? Oh, Wonka. Okay. Well, Wonka, 308 million? To 103 million, not even close. So now it's the $308 million of I built Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory to donating $100,000 to random streamers. Knowing that that guy does essentially the same thing we used to do, and he gets 308 million

views of video, makes me, just so you guys remember. aware when we're done recording, I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to go. I mean, that's... But I might not make this stream later today. I mean, that's fine. As long as maybe we get the high score on the Mr. Beast YouTube video count videos, then I think that's fine, man.

And also, take a picture like Mr. Beast, and this can be the thumbnail of you to do. I guess how many views Mr. Beast has. Yeah, I got to live long enough to... Photoshop myself into that thumbnail. Okay. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Sorry, man, you have to keep it going. Now, 308 million, tough to beat, but donating $100,000 to random streamers.

Is it those streamers drive a lot of traffic to Mr. Beast? Who knows? What are you guys thinking? What's more popular? Chocolate or tits? Oh, they got to be neck and neck, man. Hmm. Gavin has a good point.

I'm sticking with Wonka, I think. because he was doing he does a chocolate thing right so like this probably was tied to that and then that's a shareable thing any 300 million views is just it's a it's a huge mountain to overcome I mean not not for beast like this video could do 250 million views and it would be a you know it's an insane amount but it'd still be almost 60 million views under that one I'm gonna stay with Wonka he's in the thumbnail I'm gonna stay I think Wonka sure yeah Wonka, it is. $308 million.

Oh, see, only $63. Wow, only $63 million. What a problem for him. Failure. Can a glowing 1,000 degree sword slice a car in half? Does that have more or less than the $63 million? And that sounds like old Mr. Beast to me. I think that has less.

That seems like a $20 million view video. That is what a... We are dealing in such insane numbers. I know. I know. I know. I mean, he's not in either thumbnail, so you got to remove that from the equation.

Well, we're only seeing half the thumbnail. That's true, and that might be Mr. Beast. Yeah, that could be him with a beard. What's his name, Jimmy? That might be him. Jimmy Donaldson, I think. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought his name was like Jimmy Beast.

Jimmy Beast. Yeah, I just never. His name is Mr. Beast. I just, I don't know why I thought. Real Rascal Slats situation there. Johnny Caviar wants to know how you know about Jimmy Beast. Who told you about Jimmy Beast? He's been talking.

I'm going to go with $100,000 to random streamers. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Jeff? Yeah.

Okay. $63 million to $69. Oh! Boys, you'll lose again. You'll lose again. I guess we got canceled. To round us out, we're going to do the box office one more time. And this will be, this is where it takes us out.

The Conjuring 2. Inside Out. Inside Out. Inside. Inside. Out. No conversation needed. No, don't need it. Yep. They need the conjure some more dollars. 859 million.

Yeah, 322 million. Very easy. Inside Out against the greatest showman from 2017. Very big, but inside. Now I know that the greatest showman is a thing that you guys love to talk about all the time, but you have to think about the wider audience. Did. Did.

people see the greatest showman from 2017. Well, this Hugh Jackman. It is. Any overlap between Inside Out and the greatest showman? Hugh Jackman isn't any there. Bill Hader isn't in either. He doesn't pop claws, but he does sing. What if Lewis Black was the greatest showman? He's the connector between the two.

I think the greatest showman probably made somewhere in the four to 500 million range globally. Okay. So we go on Inside Out? It's set out. Yeah, it's the Pixar factor. 461 million for greatest showman. Good guest, Jeff.

So now it's the greatest showman, 461 million against Dr. Strange from 2016. Oh, I think Dr. Strange had to do it, right? It's definitely Dr. Strange. We're still in Prime Marvel. We're still building towards the Thanos thing. Yeah, we're still at the point where we would watch anything

if it had Marvel Studios at the front. Yeah, pretty much. Absolutely. So you guys are you going Dr. Strange? Yep. Absolutely. Dr. Doctor, Doctor, give me the news. I got a bad case of Dr. Strange, $677 million against the Grink from 2018.

Oh, I bet they'd go to the Grinch. People love the Grinch, yeah. Yeah. Pounder the creator doing a song for it. It's another illumination joint. It's a holiday film. Oh, but this isn't the Jim Carrey one. No.

No, no, no. This is the 2018? Benbidig. Wait, is this the same guy? Is it? I don't know who did the Grinch for it. I don't know who did the Grinch in 20s. Isn't he the Grinch?

I don't know. Is he? Look up who did the voice for Grinch 2018. I think it's the same guy. This might be a head-to-head battle with one head. Oh, shit. You know what? Loose Black.

The only shit, it is. It's been a Cumberbatch. He was both. Oh, wow. That's crazy. I still think it's the Grinch, personally. Yeah, I'm going to the Grinch. Oh, wow.

I don't even know. Yeah. Sure. All right. Let's see if the Grink can pull it out. No. $540 million. dollars and there's Tom Cruise so sad looking at you this is no chance of an

Oscar with that performance you're gonna do better next time and look at how sad he is boys Andrew as a man who has recently seen every single Tom Cruise movie can you name this film just by this scene yeah it's Mission Possible 3 it's him in the chair okay there you go oh most iconic tier cinema what word is he saying here don't he's saying don't because he's gonna kill it's in the beginning done and then he shoots him in the face. Well, he shoots her in the face. I thought you're saying no. Well, boys, your highest score was 10.

Regulation over under. It's a rough go. We can end it here. We can play another round. What are you guys feeling? I mean, I don't ever want to stop recording. What if you did it have ratings? What am I going to do? Go back to my real life? No, thank you. Oh, go to more games? Well, if you insist. Now, we have movie ratings. Yeah, try it. This is movie ratings based on the IMDB movie rating stats from February of

2025. Okay, so these are community stats. Yep. From this year, February of this year. Now, which has the higher rating, Book of Eli, or the extraterrestrial? We'll say people love Book

of Eli, but E.T. It's a great movie. It has to be E.T. It's got to be E.T. I've never seen it written that way. The extraterrestrial? Just not... Yeah, it looks weird. It's just the... You know, man, you guys see the extraterrestrial yet? I don't think I've ever met somebody

who didn't like Book of Eli, but I also don't think I've ever met anybody who didn't like E.T. I was blown away in the last half of E.T. when it was revealed that he was blind the entire time. I could not believe it. I think the ending of Book of Eli is so fucking goofy that it makes the rest of the movie, like

so, so, like, disregardable. It's so dumb. It's so dumb. Oh, I've never seen it. I like it. Oh, it's the grayest movie in the world. It is, you like, it's very gray. Yeah, it's pretty gray. but desaturate everything. It's crazy. All right,

E.T is what we're picking here. 7.9 against 6.8. Way too close. Way too close. The Patriot. Now, remember, this is the Patriot from 2000. This is pre-9-11.

And also, we're rating based on the movie itself, I assume, and not the personal politics of the man who's faces on the giant poster. It's also pre-fall of

Mel Gibson, though. That is true. I still think E.T.'s got to be... Oh, it's definitely higher. Patriot is not loved. But it is a movie that I enjoy because it was on CBS all the time for me as a kid.

Wasn't Heath Ledger in that, too? He sure is. He was, yeah. Interesting that the father and son of a very American, pro-American movie, The Patriot, were both Australian. Yep. Something to think about.

Are we going with the extraterrestrial? Yeah. I think, yeah. I don't think there's been a movie in which the villain burns everybody alive in a church that has more than a 7.9. Okay. It's just a fact. 7.2.

7.2 is so much higher than I thought. Very close. Now, 7.2 for the Patriot or Prisoners, 20, 13. All the way. Prisoners is awesome. I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it. You haven't seen prisoners?

Oh, my God. It's so good. I don't even know what it is. It's Denny Bellanoo before he did a rival. and it is phenomenal. It is a, like, stunning movie. It's phenomenal. It's phenomenal.

It's about... Hugh Jackman's child gets abducted and they're trying to figure out what happened. It's so good. It's so good. It's a maze inside the O. It's the prisoners. You know, so watch Paul Dano be mean to a dog.

2013 prisoners. Do you think it's higher than the 7.2? So much higher. I bet it's like an 8.3. I'm going to follow Andrew. I don't think it'll be 8. You don't think it'll be an eight? I think it's definitely an eight.

You think it's eight point three is like supremely high for IMDB, isn't it? It is, but like this is one of, I think, I think people that watch this movie consider it in an all time great. Oh shit, go for it then. I'd love to see an eight. Okay. Prisoners locking in. Does it beat the 7.2 of the Patriot? 8.2.

Wow. Way to go, Andrew. Nailed it. Now, now it's the 8.2 prisoners against the Irishman from 2019. I haven't seen the Irishman, but I feel like all I've heard about it is that it is disappointing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's prisoners. It's like the de-aged everyone, right? Yeah, but they still move like old people. Yes, it's brutal. I got to go prisoners. It's definitely prisoners, yeah. As Gavin said, an eight is a very high number on IMDB, so tough to beat.

So we're going to go with prisoners here. 7.8 for the Irishman. That's so much higher. than I would have guessed. The Princess Bride from 1987. Can it beat the 7.8 of the Irishman? I mean, how can you not like the Princess Bride? Once again, I don't know if I've ever met anybody

who didn't like the Princess Bride. I mean, on paper, like, there's no way the Irishman is more like that IMDB than the Princess Bride, right? Like, that just isn't, that's not a thing. Like, if we take away the 7.8 and just look at it as these two movies it's like without question right

the Princess Bride how do you rate a movie on IMDB are you a do you have to create an account to do it I think so you do I think so we're dealing with the kind of people just put ourselves in mind the kind of people who create accounts on on the internet

to rank film basically only for that purpose and to comment on film that's a pretty deep film junkie I got to think Princess Bride I just think that's such a wild poster that they're using the Colombo reading to the kid as the movie poster

So what do you guys think Princess Bride or Irishman? I think Princess Bride If it's not I'm going to watch the Irishman tonight to evaluate this Okay Well

7.8 is what we're trying to beat here Princess Bride 8 on the nose It's a high score. The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977. Gavin, do you think that movie's higher than an 8 on IMDB? I mean, it's a classic.

It's not Moore's worst. I don't know how to measure that. Glowing in Dorset. I mean, he had some stink pots. This is going to be all on you, Gavin. But this is a cool poster. I mean, I don't think, does any Bond have an 8?

Skyfall, probably. Maybe Casino Royale. Yeah, maybe Casino Royale. This one. certainly doesn't have an eight i'll tell you that okay okay okay so we're going we're trusting gavin's yeah trusting gavin's gut and going princess bride jephy you good with that yeah i'm great with it princess bride with the eight spy who loved me with the seven on the nose so seven is what we're up against everything all at once i feel like this is easy it's everything absolutely recently bias alone

that movie yeah everybody loves them it's got everything it's got jamie lee curtis it has the raccoon it's got the weird fingers. It's got it all here. It's got like apples smashing together, really? Just amazing. Two rocks made me cry. I actually hate that part and I fast forward it when I see that so. You fast forwarded through those 14 frames?

Uh-huh. Yeah, I need to get through them faster. I'm doing fast mo, guys. Well, we're going with everything everywhere all at once to beat the seven, the spy who loved me. 7.8 7.8 against 1917

from 2019 2019 thoughts I didn't see it I think people really like 1917 though nothing with Harry Styles in it no that's Dunkirk oh okay

1917 is the the one shot one right yeah it's a look like a one shot in quotes one shot hard to beat 7.8 yeah yeah but it was I mean it's war though

I feel like the war ones always score pretty high. And it's tough to, like, have to evaluate how culturally everywhere, everything everywhere all at once was. Like, I felt like I heard about that movie nonstop, but that doesn't necessarily mean it to hire an IMDB. I just think because it's such a crazy looking movie, less people would have seen it. Yeah. I guess it becomes a weird thing, though, too, of, like, people have to search these movies,

right, to put in a ranking. Yeah. Also, you have to think, too. like, you say less people have seen it, but the people that did see it probably would be more inclined to like it because of the visuals. So, I don't know. Are people voting an IMD be tricked by a fake one shot? Yeah. Yeah. Probably. Probably. I think still everything everywhere at all at once probably has a higher rating. 7.8's a tough number to beat. When I think about it comparatively though,

I feel like the Patriot being 7.6, 1917 has to be more than point four or yeah more than point four at least. I think it's an eight. Could be an eight. If the Patriot is 7.6 I feel like 1917 feels like it could be above the Patriot

do people like the Patriot way more than I realize I don't think so. I didn't know that the Patriot was like a well-liked movie. I don't remember it being particularly I remember coming out and you know being a summer movie but I don't remember doing particularly well or anything. So which one we going with boys?

I already said I'm going with everything everywhere all the once I'm going to go 1917 so it's going to be Gavin Gavin the tiebreaker I just when it comes down to this I just think what would my parents go for are your parents rating movies on IMDB I'd go I'd go 1917 1917 is the pick

Jeff you have something a lot over these guys if it's wrong 7.8 the number to beat 1917 18.2 Great job, guys. My finger was not on the pulse there. Now, that's not a good film and it did not do well, no.

What? Superman for the Quest for Peace from 1987. No. Nuclear power, in the best hands, it is dangerous. In the hands of Lex Luthor, it is pure evil. It's the only Superman film I've never seen.

It's so bad. I haven't seen the new one, actually. 1970. Yeah, I'm a 1917. Okay, 1917. Do you think this movie is above a six? No. No, I'll agree with that.

3.7. That is so bad. Oh, Superman 4, the Quest for Peace versus Justice League 2017. I think Justice League. 3.7. 3.7's pretty fucking low. That is absurdly low.

I don't think Justice League was that low. Although, no, it's not that low. I'm not going to overthink it. I bet it's like a 4.8 or something. That sounds right. Yeah, I was going to say, do you think Justice League, which I assume you guys are picking, do you think it cracks a five? No.

I think 4.8 to 5.2 is the range I would put it in. And we're talking the Joss Whedon one. Yeah, I guess we are. I can't tell from this, but 2017, I would think so. It has colors, so I think it is the... Yeah. Okay. We locking it in?

Yeah. Justice League 2017, 6. Wow. There you go. There you go. Rush. Oh, people love Rush. People love Rush. People love Rush. What's got to do better than six.

You know people? They love Rush. They do. It is like the definitive Ron Howard movie, I feel like in the sense of like nobody really cares or seen it. Like it doesn't shake anything, but the people that do go, oh, it was pretty good. That's fine. That is every Ron Howard film. Rush, you think it beats the Six of Justice League? That's what we're going with? does. I do, yeah. Okay.

I think people really love that. Rush, 2013. 8.1. People love Rush. It's a high, eight, eight is a high score. Now you see me too from 2016. The people that don't vote on IMDB ratings love now you see me too, but this is IMDB rating, so it's Rush. Yeah.

Gavin, any thoughts on Now you see me too? Now if they would have brought back Isla Fisher, sorry to cut you off, Gavin, but I mean, no Isla Fisher? Come on. Mm-hmm. I mean, now you see me too probably doesn't have. Clint Howard in it. That's true.

If we're talking box office, now you see me two definite winning the China Factor. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, 80% Factor win. 8.1 of Rush, now you see me two,

6.4. That feels right. Then now you see me to 6.4 against the island from 2005. Oh, fuck. People didn't like the island.

Is that the Michael Bay movie? Yeah. Yeah. Where he used the same footage in Transformers. Yeah. It's where like, E.M.

McGregor and Scarlet Johansson find out their clones and they escape the clone facility yeah I'd go now you see me to 6.4 is the island you think the island is lower than 6.4 it's good I do it's yeah really ooh I don't I hate the A in that poster for the island like a mountain that it just bothers me well uh are we picking now you see me too is that the choice because the movie's not about mountains mountains have nothing to do with it and all the other letters don't have like a funny font thing. It's only the A.

It's very bothersome. Get it out of my face. It's now you see me too. I think I've heard of the other one more. What does that mean? I think it sounds like he's making the island. I just feel like the island is like a Michael Bay movie. Once again, in the context of what we're rating,

what does that mean? I think potentially more stupid people would have seen the island and liked it. But the stupid people have to make the IMD count to vote. Yeah, but a sequel? You think a sequel's higher? I think 6.4 is higher. Okay. I think I would struggle more with this if there wasn't a number on now you see me too.

Yeah, the island too would definitely be lower, but it's neck and neck here. Jeff, what do you think? Ah, fuck. I think it's going to be close. Six point, six point four is hard, it's going to be hard to beat for what that movie is. So you're the deciding vote. I think I'm going to go... Mm.

He doesn't want to be the deciding vote. I don't want to. I've avoided being the deciding vote every time until this moment. I'm going to go with now you see me to. Now you see me to. 6.4, the island from 2005. 6.8. We're out at 12, boys.

12's not bad. 12 is not bad. And that's an IMD rating. That's a subjective thing. That's a tough. a tough go. Yeah. That's a real tough go. You have to get into the mind of the people that are doing the rating.

Yeah, and that sucks. You don't want to be there. What? What? I got to watch the Patriot. It's better than the island. And now you see me too. Yeah. There you have it. Well, guys, this has been regulation over, under. Thank you so much for playing. Check out Mr. Beast, but you can also say that Patreon.com slash the regulation pod.

I have so much fun doing this. Andrew Gavin, Jeff, thank you so much for playing along. How do you guys feel about your scores? I think we came back in the end. I'm really

happy with how we finished this. 12 is a great number. We have a new bar to pass next time. I think I leaned heavily on the much younger and more in tune to society, Andrew and Gavin. I think they are responsible for the majority of our success. I will say every time there was a

Gavin was right. I think we got to lean even heavier in Gavin next time. Wow. Oh, interesting. We're learning. Well, I was wrong about Transformers. Okay. Well, we're all wrong, though, I guess about that. I don't know. I'm giving you credit. Take the credit. There you go. Well, guys, thanks for listening, and we will see you next time. Bye.
