There it is. I'm Charles Holmes with The Ringer Music Show. And I'm Cole Kushner from Dissect. And Charles and I are teaming up to create Last Song Standing,

a new show where we determine an artist's single best song by debating our way through their entire catalog. And for our first season, we're covering Kendrick Lamar. We're talking Good Kid to Pimple Butterfly,

Dan, Mr. Morale, the mixtapes, the Lucys, and the features. Listen to Last Song Standing on the Dissect podcast feed only on Spotify. I'm Sean Fennessey. And I'm Amanda Dobbins.

And this is The Big Picture, a conversation show about auctioning for our lives. It's part two of the movie auction from 2022. We did two last year. We're doing two this year. Now, I will say last year when we did two, felt like the world was in front of us.

We waited till July for part two of that one as well. So many exciting new films to come out. So much on the board. We were fired up. Looking at the landscape now, Chris Ryan,

joining us here on this show. AKA Kenny Stablecoin, the auctioneer. Let's go. How are you feeling about auctioning for these films? You guys got to have a conversation with the execs. You guys got to have a board meeting. We got to talk to Chapek. We got to talk to Zaz.

We got to talk to everybody because where are the movies? What are you guys doing? I guess maybe you could say in retrospect, we were just too good at auctioning. And that the last time we did this, it was just like our feel for Hollywood was unparalleled.

And that we got all the good movies and the rest of the stuff, which will make it interesting when somebody spends $600 on an action horror comedy that may come out in December, you know? But I do feel like this is the time where we should know, here's the full tasting menu, brother.

Here's everything that's going up into the gold derby odds site. Everybody's going to start angling for this and Margot Robbie this and Seth R Robbie this and Seth Rogan that and Steven Spielberg. And it's just like where is everything? Where are the movies? Let me ask

you that, Amanda, because the award season is closer than you think. And we're not that far away from Oscar potting. And obviously a part of this auction should in part be trying to ID what are going to be the significant contenders in the Academy Awards race this season. Now we got some of them in the first

half of this show that we recorded in January, the first auction that we did. But do you feel like you have a sense of the Oscar landscape that you can bid for in this podcast? Not at all. And I recall this weekend when I saw you and I just started grilling you about, you know, have they announced, do we know what's gonna be a telly ride like Toronto, like what's happening? And I thought that was because I have been a little out of it because I only

spend my time on the internet looking at replies to big picture tweets and then getting angry about them. I have literally nothing else. I don't know what's going on at all. Don't let them know that you're doing that. But like really occasionally, you know, just I'm, I am and I'm not. Anyway. You are.

I am. You are, but you feel bad about it. Yeah, but I feel bad about it. But then I'm like, I should go like do something rewarding with this time. So then I don't spend my time reading the trades or knowing anything about actual movies so I thought it was me but you quickly informed me like no we have no idea and some of that like Telluride always announces the day before and there is like a sense of mystery but I in terms of the fall season coalescing at all I don't think that that's happening and what i'm trying to figure out is how much of it

is uh we ran out of movies problem because it does feel both in tv and in movies like we're at this moment of we used up all our pre-covid movies here are some of the covid productions that you're getting but it's like we're kind of in a fallow moment. And then I do also wonder how much of it is just marketing and awareness and people have given up on like trying to get you to go see anything except Minions. They're just like, we can't make a movie as good as Maverick. So we'll stop trying. Yeah. I mean, it does feel like in Hollywood, that's something that is happening.

You know, they've carved out these three week windows for big releases, which means there are fewer and fewer movies and also i agree with you amanda it does feel like there's a little bit of a pullback this year based on the slate that we know on the number of kind of prestigious awards bait that is in the playing field and i'm not totally sure why that is and a lot will reveal itself i think if we had had this conversation last year there's no way i would have said coda will contend for best picture let alone win best picture so this stuff changes in this six month window that we're gonna have in front of us i have two things i'd like to address we're at one is a request for bobby because you guys brought up the award show you guys brought up it's almost award season to start podcasting and i made a request that i'd like to make public now which is that the new intro for the award show is the clip of bradley

cooper's appearance on smartless where he says bro why are you such an asshole i would never fucking forget that go fuck yourself about somebody who disrespected him over Stars Born. And then my other thing is that if you guys look at the slate of current limited series that are up right now, have you thought about how many of those would make really good movies

that should be coming out right now? In terms of The Old Man or there's Blackbird with Taron Egerton is coming out. It was a Dennis Lehane script with Paul Walter Hauser. And it just looks like it could just be a really tight John Grisham-y movie. I wonder whether in addition to this COVID slowdown, we are seeing a slight, the limited series are tipping the scales thing here.

I mean, there's no question about it. I think if you look at some of the best shows of the year, We Own the City was a six-part miniseries. You know? The Staircase was an eight-part miniseries. The Dropout was an eight-part miniseries. I mean, these are all stories that would have been movies as recently as, I think, 2010. Yeah.

Imagine a world where the movie, like we had a Tokyo Vice under the banner of heaven, Outer Range, and like old band movies. So I'm pleased to announce that we will be converting the focus of this show

to my physical media collection. And every episode will be chronicling my new Blu-ray purchases and Amanda will weigh in on her thoughts on those purchases the packaging but amanda's only allowed to talk about 4k resolution that's right and transfers i just need things to look better i know that they do on your on your on your physical media collection i've been thinking a lot about that but i just we have too many books in the house i've already committed to that as my physical media collection i don't know what to do. Come over, bring your son. We'll

watch films together. We'll have a blast. We have this beautiful space. Is that a genuine invitation? Because you say that now in front of a lot of people, but if Max and I showed up, you'd be like, what are you doing? You draw the curtain on the ADU. He just doesn't like a drop by. Yeah, that's true. I don't love a drop-by. That's true. I'm very scheduled, but... You wouldn't do well with a boner from Growing Pains, you know, just kicking in the door and be like, hey! Not touching that one. I love your son.

So I'd love to spend some time with your son. Obviously, your husband, very dear to me. And you're very dear to me. So come over, watch a movie. Okay. We'll watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High and hang out you know have some beers i'll teach them all about uh core's light it'll be a great time um tweet recap what we auctioned off previously which is i think informing a little bit of this conversation because a bunch of the movies that i think will

contend and it will be a part of this show over the course of the next six months have already been nabbed in fact only one film for each of us has already been released from that first batch. And I will say, I thought this was actually a pretty good first half of the year movie-wise. You know, from January to June, we did get some really quality releases relative to what the first half of years often looks like.

So let's just recap, and then we'll use that as a framing device for this next, the second half. So we each drafted five movies, auctioned off five movies. I got Nope, which is yet to be released as this show is being released.

I got Babylon, the Damien Chazelle film. I got The Killer, the David Fincher movie, which has wrapped production and I think is going to come out this year, but is not guaranteed

to come out this year. That's Netflix, right? That's Netflix. Is that Netflix? Yep. I got Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse Part 1 which has now officially been delayed until 2023. Why did they delay that? I assume it has something to do with the animation. Your face is so mean

right now. You guys are drawing. Just knock it out. Let's go. Alright, I'm not doing this right now. Bullet double shift. What are you doing? I'm not doing a double shift. What are you doing? Not doing that with you. And then the Northman was my fifth. And that's the one that's been released from my slate. Amanda, do you want to recap what you got?

Absolutely. I got Top Gun fucking Maverick. Yes, I did. Thank you so much, everybody. There were some rules negotiation before I was able to get Top Gun Maverick, but I stuck to my beliefs. You stuck to your Top Gun Maverick, but I stuck to my beliefs. You stuck to your Top Guns. Yeah, I sure did. And it paid off for me. Doing Mission Impossible goes whatever. What is it? Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1.

Sure. That got delayed like three hours after we did the auction podcast so that's a tough break for me also delayed is maestro which i didn't know until i opened this document why is bradley cooper on these weird podcasts releasing all these video images of him as old leonard bernstein if he if it's delayed what are we doing it's possible that it's going to come out this year it's delayed, what are we doing? It's possible that it's going to come out this year. It's possible that nothing has been dated, but it feels unlikely given the circumstances. So is it going to be a whole other year until it comes out? I'm not sure.

I don't know. Maybe it's a Cannes movie. And that's the other thing that has happened this year is that Cannes took place. And so we know a bunch of stuff that is on the way. But I'm not sure. If he was like, this is a dump you were in a movie. I mean, who the hell knows? I don't think that he'll do that uh i also he went on these pods yeah i mean look at this he's gotta get it out chris can you also just quickly before we

move on from maestro recap cooper's comments about maestro and maestro's superpower oh and he was just like it's a it's a marriage story it's a story about love but the thing that makes it nuclear is music because it has leonard bernstein and gustav mahler he's he is he is like what happens when you enter a like a zone of fame and like a like a kind of like i believe in my own art so much that i sound like a complete lunatic every time i open my mouth but but I love it. It's great. I love it. Very entertaining. And what else you got, Amanda? Another reason to release it this year is so he can pair the award season run for Carey Mulligan,

who's playing his wife in my throw, with She Said, which I got, which is slated for November, which I'm really psyched about. I feel really good about that pick. I'm sure I'm dooming it, but I'm looking forward to this film. It's the adaptation. Strongly tipped to be a best picture contender. It's an adaptation of the Megan Chewy and Jodie Cantor New York Times investigation into Harvey Weinstein.

And the last movie I got is Don't Worry Darling, which definitely got some promo at CinemaCon. We didn't talk about that. Wild stuff. You know. I don't know if I would describe being served papers promo, but that did happen.

A lot of people, a lot more people were talking about Olivia Wilde's CinemaCon presentation after that odd event as opposed to beforehand. I'm still looking forward to Don't Worry Darling. Sean, I'm actually going to have the January 6th committee serve you during this podcast. With an apology for all of your brutal actions

towards me over the last two years on this pod. Chris, what'd you get? Oh, I did rather well. So I had Knives out to aka glass onion a knives out mystery uh for 250 killers of the flower moon still gonna win best picture killers of flower moon i got for 450 um white noise for 200 which may seem like a lot of money but not

when you consider the actual budget for white noise, which is apparently like $200 million. This is my favorite. It's good for him. I fucking love it. Why not? He should bankrupt Netflix. That would be hilarious. If he even like spent half a bill on me,

on making sure the, like the cassettes in the record store in this 80s set movie are like authentic. So I got, yeah, white noise bullet train train which is coming out shortly um and is if if i can just have one second here i'm so mad because i just feel like they put all of bullet train in the trailer and i can't escape the bullet train trailer because every time i go to the movies they show the bullet train trailer so i'm pissed off about that and

then i had men okay which I don't have you seen men I actually haven't I know I haven't either do you think I should or should I just I definitely want to hear your reaction to men

that's something I need in my life is you responding to men maybe not on a podcast I'm not sure that's a good idea but I was very happy with my picks

am I right about the bullet train trailer thing though or is that just my pet peeve yeah I think you are no you're right it's also like a long trailer I feel like it's three minutes um and there's a lot of like cameos and like supporting performances and it's all given away which is not great you just got to show up late to the movies chris and avoid the trailers i try but you know i like to support

amc's concessions you know it doesn't matter we're gonna do the three of us are gonna do an absolutely kick-ass best movies set on a train pod when that movie comes out and i'm psyched for it i can't wait i'm excited what did we miss from the first half of the year like movies that aren't eligible for this auction oh that's a good question but that none of us drafted obviously everything everywhere all at once, that's probably the biggest, the most acclaimed one. Yeah. Hmm. I guess we didn't do X. No Doctor Strange,

right? Yeah. Yeah, Doctor Strange. Listen to that entire podcast, by the way. Still don't understand

what happened in the movie, which I did not see. You may have to watch it to figure that out. That seems pretty essential. I like how you're like many of the big picture listeners where you just will listen to episodes about films you haven't seen and will

never see which i appreciate anyone who does that thank you i appreciate you just want to spend time with cr i get it if i know i'm gonna see it i save the episode until after i've seen it but respectfully like i've never seen the first actor strange you'll recall sean that i was very excited to learn that rachel mcadams was in the first actor strange when we went to see whatever that movie we saw together in theaters was and oh the spider-man good movie i i'm not the spider-man yeah there were three spider-man it was good uh i liked it a lot it was very moved so yeah the movies that i'm never gonna watch i want to keep up to date i want to know the references i get it yeah i mean we did miss a couple we did miss a couple of good ones um jackass forever one of my favorite movies so far yeah we didn't nobody took the batman which in retrospect is kind of a

weird move nobody took that one because it was coming out in like two weeks yeah you guys felt like you created a weird thing around like the first year that we did auctions you started like being like you're taking this it's coming out like two weeks i did that yeah you did i don't like your impression of me i think you should tone it down a little bit um what else did we miss anything else from this year that was really really good deep water nobody took that i mean there's movies that are good but it's weird to think of like auctioning for watcher. You know what we didn't take, Chris, is Ambulance. We fucked that up.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, but then we actually did the only like full-throated support of Ambulance in recorded history. You guys really liked it. I did listen to that podcast.

And it just, it seemed very exciting. Nope. There's like very few movies that people like are like, hey, I heard your Ambulance pod. And they're like, you guys were really excited for that.

But I was, I think it was because ambulance pot. And they're like, you guys were really excited for that. But I think it was because you and me saw it together like buddies. We went to... It was nice. And we were just like... We did. Yeah.

That was like old school. We were just like friendship. Yeah, we had some tacos afterwards. LA. Do you remember? Yeah, of course. That was a nice night. We were friends.

We weren't podcasters or movie commentators. Just a couple of guys watching two dudes steal an ambulance. Yeah. That was awesome. Yeah. That's great.

I liked Ambulance. It was good. Okay. So that's the recap of what we've gotten so far, which leaves us with, theoretically, hundreds of films to choose from, but in fact, not as many as we might like. Let me just read off the rules of this auction

before Bobby helps us get to the auction order. So if you've never heard one of these before, every bidder gets $1,000 each. This film must have a 2022 release date or an almost certain expectation of release on this calendar year. We get five movies each, as we just clarified. Bidders open with a new title, and then we will move in snake fashion. And you have 30 seconds to make a new bid before the bidding expires and you get that film. We did talk last time about movies that we had previously drafted in earlier years, going back into the pool. So Top Gun Maverick, for example, was one of those movies.

I got it in 2021. When 2022 started, went one of those movies. I got it in 2021 when 2022 started. Went back into the pool. Amanda got it this year. There are a few 2021 auctionees that we're grabbing and putting back in the pool. So that includes Next Goal Wins, which Chris got last year. That is the new Taika Waititi Michael Fassbender movie. Also undated. I'm not totally sure. I assume it's this year.

I assume so. But it would be weird that we haven't gotten a trailer. It's almost july like yeah um like i've only seen one image from the set of that it should be a fall festival movie but i'm not sure yet um red white and water is another one we just referenced on the show earlier this year jennifer lawrence drama that is coming out that later this year from a24 which may not be called red white red white and anymore. And then the last one is the much discussed blonde Andrew Dominic's film

which I think Amanda you got It did. last year and is now back into the pool and I suspect will be if not an Oscar contender a subject of much discussion and debate on this show

and elsewhere. I'm an Ana de Armas fan still so we'll see. Yeah. Remember when she absolutely stole No Time to Die for 10 minutes that was sick really enjoyed that you want to choose the auction order

does the auction order matter I think it kind of matters what movie gets put up first a little bit it does matter when Chris goes first and is like $275 for House of Gucci and then doesn't do anything else for the rest of the auction. That was beautiful.

We'll never recreate that. That was pretty awesome. Oh, I had a question that was sort of an honor system question. There are a few movies, Sean and there's one movie in particular that you have seen but that has not come out yet. Is it eligible? Are you allowed to? It's tough.

Yeah. Heavy as the head. head yeah um yeah i don't know what to do about i mean obviously the one of the movies you're referring to that i've seen it would be like my number one pick so i don't know what to do about that i think i have said on previous auctions that if i've seen it it shouldn't be eligible for me um that's big of you yeah well because it doesn't really feel like it's in the spirit of the game, right?

I guess so. But when has that stopped you before? How dare you? I feel like the auction has a different a different Sean vibe than the draft.

Elaborate. I play by the rules. It's more like CPA Sean. It's more like he's just gets really into value, but it's not like he's not like I'm here to cut your throat

and watch you bleed out. It's more poker as's just gets really into value but it's not like he's not like i'm here to cut your throat and watch you bleed out it's more poker as opposed to yeah right yeah that's what it is yeah exactly uh okay well now that we've settled that that i won't be taking my favorite movie of the year so far um that's a tough break for you uh Bobby, you want to set the draft order? Yeah. Oh. Are we still using the Top Gun Maverick hat? We're still using the Top Gun hat, yes. Yeah. Amanda Dobbins, you will be... The Top Gun Maverick hat.

It's written in the stars. So here I am. So I'm going to be first. And Chris, you're going second. Great. Okay. I don't really know what to do here this is

this is very strange I'm looking forward to some of these movies but you know I don't have like the jet fuel in my blood like Miles Teller

for any of them um that's a good story by the way it's such a great story in case you guys don't know Miles Teller

on the set of Top Gun Maverick broke out in hives one day and they were trying to figure out what was going on with him. So they did some blood tests and his blood came back positive for jet fuel. And so the next day he went to the set

and Tom Cruise is like, what's up with you? And he was like, there's jet fuel in my blood. And Tom Cruise goes like, me too. It's really good. it's really good that's really good okay I know what I'm gonna do which is just uh the one movie I know I want uh which is bros which is the upcoming romantic comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller um written and and starring Billy Eichner who is the funniest person alive in my personal opinion, I will go with $100. Let me ask you an important question.

Was this trailer good? I laughed at it. So, yes. It made me a little concerned. Also, a lot of... Another, did you guys just put the whole movie in this trailer? For sure.

And also, I don't know if I want to bid on it. Listen, just don't bid. Don't bid if you don't want it. But Billy Eichner is so funny when he is so out. He's hilarious. I love him. Yeah.

When he's outsized and big and obviously the Billy on the street characters like genius level stuff. But he's playing like the Anne Hathaway part or something. You know what I mean? Where he's like the shy retiring. And I'm like, that's not Billy Eichner. Billy Eichner deserves to have a range of experiences. Yeah, sure. In cinema and in life. I think he's very funny.

He can also do a dry aside, $100. I'm going to go $120 because I love romantic comedies and I like Nicholas Stoller. Yeah. I like Nicholas Stoller too. Yeah, he makes good studio comedies. The only person left who has any success with it. I don't know why I'm like advocating for this. I mean, I do because I want it, but you put me on my, you know, back foot. No, it's fair. It's fair.

I mean, Nick solar made neighbors forgetting Sarah Marshall, get them to the Greek and the five-year engagement. He's good at this. Yeah. I like the five-year engagement. It's a long movie, but I like it. It's not my favorite, but that was my first Dakota Johnson interaction, I think, where I was like, oh, this person is delightful. And then I remember her from Social Network. Oh, that's right. Oh, she's good in that, too. She goes. And then there's like the 50 Shades suit.

What did you do? 120. All right. I'll do 150. I'm tempted to bid. Wow. This is the only movie you want. you want making and podcasting from you this is it's not the only movie i want but you know i just decided to lead off with a passion pick

so now it's your turn to be an asshole and take it away from me no that's that's not that's just mean you're just you guys are way too sharp elbowed on these pods now all right everybody just relax. Take a deep breath. What's up with Luke McFarlane? He's the love interest here. I clicked on his letterbox page and he's appeared in a lot of Christmas movies that all appear to be on the Hallmark Channel. Here are the names of some of his movies.

Christmas Land, Single All the Way, A Shoe Addict addicts Christmas the mistletoe promise Chateau Christmas shoe addicts Christmas is actually about Imelda Marcos though you skipped

sense sensibility and snowmen oh that's up your alley right there which I wrote just so you know under my student who is this man

this Canadian American actor I have no idea apparently anyone else we are over time now anyone Amanda has 150.

I think it's Amanda's. Yes. Great. Okay. Congrats, Amanda. Thank you. CR? You're up.

I'm going to go with the movie that I think I'm most excited about for the rest of the year. The Banshees of Inishirin. This is Martin McDonough's reunion with Colin Farrell and and brendan gleason okay um i think oscar isaac is in this movie too uh i'm not sure barry keown barry keown is in this um it's about two lifelong friends and one of them decides they don't want to be friends with the other anymore okay sounds familiar to me obviously martin mcdonough and bruce seven psychopaths uh three billboards let's do it

where are you at on three billboards wait a second hold on let me just uh at times it's tough it's it's it's tough but i also like respect how i think in think outside of the vacuum of the take-dome that it was in, I think it has a lot to like. I'm pleased that he's returning to Ireland. Okay, you want him out of the United States of America. I think sometimes when... And the anti-Irish sentiment

from you starts where? What is that? Is that self-loathing? That's the homeland. There's no anti-Irish sentiment on this show unless it's coming from Amanda. So, we good.

How much did you bid for this, Christopher? I haven't yet. Okay. I'm going to bid $175,000. Okay. Why?

Because I think it should go for a little bit more than bros. This is my bros. Okay. All right. You had a rationale. Chris is just a fair evaluator of film.

You're like Billy Bean. Yeah. But for movie auctions. It's not about inefficiencies. It's about properly labeling things. Yeah, no, this is how Jerry West did business. Oh my God. He would look you in the eye and he'd be like,

here's how I see it. Then he would drink and break a golf club. Martin McDonough, he gets on base. I haven't seen that movie in a while i should re-watch it again i'll go 185 oh okay i'm just i'm spectating um you know i i guess i'll i'll see where sean's at and go 195 did you did we go to a Behanding in Spokane together? No. I honestly, sadly, have only seen one Martin McDonough play.

It was with Jim Broadbent, and I fell asleep through it because I had jet lag. Lieutenant of Inishmore? No, it was about Dickens. Oh, I haven't seen that. Are you a big Dickens fan? Me? Yeah.

I can never get over the fact that I know he was paid by the word. Yeah, same. And I feel like he's just milking the clock a lot. I know he's probably one of the true geniuses of the Western Hemisphere, but sometimes I'm just like... I'm a 205 here, by the way. 210. No, Chris, I'm with you. 100%.

And then he was just like, like ah what else can i do the fog let's talk about the fog sean where are you on dickens real split because i feel like some of the books are incredible and some of them are the most boring books of all time love nicholas nickleby love tale of two cities um i struggle with david copperfield really struggle like it's one of my least favorite experiences reading a book in school ever. I don't know. What about you?

Yeah. It all feels like homework to me and I relate to Chris's. Do you ever jam out Bleak House? That's supposed to be the one. No.

I've never read that. Yeah. This is the quality movie podcasting people are looking for. What are we on? What's the number at? 215. Wait so you didn't

you weren't with who did I see you be handing in spokane in spokane with walk-in was in it he was unbelievable in it it was walk-in rockwell anthony mackie and zoe kazan i wish i'd seen it i wish maybe you brought your life-size chris cutout with you i know we were we were bros at that time that was 2010 he bought a broadway ticket for a life-size chris maybe i went with my friend ryan that's the only other person I could think of in my life who would go to see that with me. It was a

grim situation. That story was grim. There's literally a hand in a box in that play. Alright. 2.15? Are we waiting on Chris to volley serve? I'll do 2.20. Is there like a

character in this movie who's just the third party friend who just watches all of this and it's like what are you guys doing because i think that would probably be me carrie condon appears in this film the great irish actress carrie condon from better call saul and rome maybe she is in the part that you're describing you don't want to engage with us so you got more dickens questions or, you know, I'm hanging out. I felt like I got a good section of exploration on Dickens. I will say while we're talking about listening to podcasts about things you don't watch. Boy, have I heard a lot about this season of Better Call Saul. Because of me?

Yeah, because of you. Because you just cover something that I watch. That show's good, though. I mean, come on. That's one of the few allowances I'll make for prestige TV reading between the lines it seems like all my better call saw heads

are like a little mixed on this first half of the last season which no Chris and Andy got a lot of blowback for their pod but this

I think this season's been good they just stretched it out too long otherwise it's been good yeah just like Dickens Chris has 220 do you want to counter

no Chris can take it okay saul um should have been 10 episodes like every other season and it would have been better but it's still saul okay i'm i'm glad you guys have something that makes you happy i'm up what why can't i say that you can but it it it never comes off you know what when I say nice things to you you just don't respond no that's not true I I hit on something the last time we had a disagreement pod which is what I call these draft pods which is brat mode and you go into brat mode sometimes and you don't realize it you know and you're just like oh that's nice for you it's like you hurt my feelings when you said that i'm passionate about something support me because when you get combative and then you're like i'm happy for you that you

have things that you like it just doesn't seem sincere but that's okay because you also you're you're a very sincere person most of the time wow i just how else do you want me to express like i don't give a shit about what you're talking about that's so much more genuine but it doesn't affect me like it's good that you guys have shit that you like it doesn't just like just just have my back why shouldn't you have some shit on your own you know everybody needs to have their own time we're white guys they make everything for us you don't have to be sensitive to us sure so i got fucking obi-wan is waiting on my tv when i get done with this you know okay i mean i honestly i'm just like that's good you guys have a little thing in the spirit of this specific mode of conversation I'm going to bid $100 on Triangle of Sadness

Ruben Ostland's Palme d'Or winning new film I have not seen it Woody Harrelson I believe is the only American born star of the film it's a satire of capitalism as are all Ruben Ostland

films the plot is a fashion model couple carl and yaya are invited on a luxury cruise and things go haywire um apparently it's very good i haven't seen it wasn't it can amanda you didn't make it to can this year unfortunately for you oh because you didn't send me well that's not really how it works, but... Okay. It's available. Checkbox if yes, checkbox if no. This is definitely going to be a contender for Best International Feature. Might be a Best Picture contender

based on the way it's been reviewed. Although, Ostland's films are acidic and a bit strange, but I'm looking forward to it. I think we all deserve a Woody Harrelson, uh, promo run, a press run for the award season.

Cause he, he's got some takes. Yeah. He was, he was on the right side of the marijuana debate. Right. And, uh,

what else was he on the right side of the planet of the apes remake debate? I think he's, he's like, I haven't been sick in seven years. Right. Doesn't he just live on Maui and basically refuse to leave? Which

seems like a great philosophy personally. Good strat. Yeah. If he wants to do the entire press tour like remote from Maui, I'm into it. What did you bid? $100. I'll do $125. Okay. That's solid. You liked Force Majeure. Yeah. I like Force Maj $100. I'll do $125. Okay, that's solid.

You liked Force Majeure. Yeah, I like Force Majeure. I like the square. This premise sounds right up my alley. I did hear that there's a big gross-out element to this movie, and I don't like that. Yeah. Apparently, there's a very physiologically repellent scene.

Yeah. That's in CR zone, though. Depends on what it is. physiologically repellent scene. Yeah. Which is... That's in CR zone, though. Mm-hmm. Depends on what it is. You gonna bid on this one, Chris? I'm gonna pass on this. There's a couple here

that I'm saving my coin for. I'll go 135. I'll go 145. Okay, 155. 165. I don't need this. I'd like to have it. Okay. I'm just sharing with you. I'm being honest. Yeah,'t need this. I'd like to have it. Okay.

I'm just sharing with you. I'm being honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to broker like a new era of this show. Wait, why are we getting mad? You don't have to get mad. Because I was just like listening. I was trying to be an active listener,

like radical listening to quote Anne Hathaway. Radical listening. And Jeremy Strong. And like I don't know how to communicate in like engagement with you because you're just on the defensive you think that everything i'm doing is just jumping out your throat i come to you as kofi annan and you come to me as a warlord all he said was okay in an animated way i don't't know. You had a heat. You had an energy about you.

She's just present. Yeah, I'm here for you. You have other things that you want to draft. How much did Amanda bid, Bobby? 165. I'll go 175. And I'd also like to say something

right now that is important. That's good. This collusion on this show between you two. i don't know what you're talking about will not stand it will lead to the destruction of this show this thing that we've been able to build together which i'm very proud of do you think that if me and amanda started a spin-off movie pod like rory and mal did with joe button that people would listen to it no okay that's my point is I've been disrespected.

And it will not stand. You have like a kind of Joe Budden energy to yourself sometimes. I'll do 185. Okay. That's on the line, Chris. You're on the line there.

Not over, but on the line. Insulted him a little bit. A little bit. No, I think people would love to listen to you guys have a movie pod I do but I don't think

it would be the same yeah there's no center when the two of us it's true do a podcast it just we would just be agreeing or agreeing to let

each other love things or just I'm happy for you a hundred times in a row really weird places I how do you want me to express support for you like let's

do this right now what let's just have some therapy i by the way i bid 185 like what 190 i want you to tell me that you appreciate what i mean in your life and that the fact that it's not just that you're happy for me that something came along that made me happy it's that the world is stronger and deeper because i'm happy in it that That's what I need to hear from you. Why do I need to say that every time you pick a movie in a competitive environment? I don't know. I just think about my feelings. Don't you think that would lose meaning over time? In a way, really i'm amping up the emotion and the support that i can offer you by making it rare you know and then every once in a while i let the guard down and i say sean thank you and i support you and i really want i'd like good things for you which is true set set me

aside for a minute right because i i've i've honed a persona of discontent on this show um disagreeability chris pure spirit that he is and i have this film for 190 right now um no i said I've honed a persona of discontent on this show. Disagreeability. Chris, pure spirit that he is. And I have this film for $190 right now. No, I said $195. Oh, you did? Yeah. $200.

Chris is pure. Chris is good. Except for the fact that Chris has spent the last two years colluding with you against me and thinking that I don't know. I know. I know what's going on. So you think amanda and i back channel about you do back channel what are we back channeling we're on the same text thread as you we're it's like the three of us then maybe it's just when amanda and i text one another it's about keith mcnally restaurants

yeah and also his home renovations and british politics that i don't understand and some sounds like you're having a very vivid and deep conversation about a lot of things perhaps your strategies heading into every draft okay that's really not it it's really just instagram accounts that chris discovers you're strong on ig right now chris uh i like i like instagram i don't i don't really like... I'm trying to be more meaningful, mindful about my Twitter usage

and not just ambiently use it. So now I'm on Instagram, but the algorithm on Instagram is disturbing. Does Amanda have this at 205? I do. 210. 215.

220. 225. 230. This is for Triangle of Sadness, right? Yeah. It won the Palme d'Or. It's also the unofficial name for this podcast. Chris literally forgot the movie we're fitting.

No, I'm just making sure that we're still talking about what will probably be a pretty good black comedy with Woody Harrelson. It's good. It speaks to the dearth of options this year. Yeah. Maybe it depends on what kind of research you guys did i mean my models say otherwise okay you hold now for shazam fury of the gods black adam here we go 980 dollars i might take black adam that's on the board

you never know the rock he's due for making one good movie this decade um i think amanda has 225 yeah i'll do 230 i'm thinking you have bros in your pocket for 150 right yes so i also should probably do some math but what was what's 230 is that what he has? Yeah. $235. That was that was some Einstein level mathematical work there. What did you just do? What did you calculate?

Did you just add $150 to $230? I didn't calculate anything. $240. Yeah. I realized that I didn't really have to do any math. We take five movies

right? Not four? Five movies for $1,000. Yeah. That's what I thought. Um $240? Is that what you have?

Yeah. Okay, you can have it. Okay. $240 for the winner of the Palme d'Or. Previous Palme d'Or winners include Parasite, best picture winner. If Triangle of Silence wins best picture, and I don't think it will, but if it does, does that elevate the strength of my draft?

Like a bonus hit? I don't know that. We should start to attach. Yeah, I was thinking that. Like accelerators to that. You know? Yeah. Crosses $100 million

domestic box office. Number of Oscar nominations. Best picture win. What are the debates saying? Like Rotten Tomatoes? I don't believe in Rotten Tomatoes, as you know. But only audience score.

Why don't you get into Rotten Tomatoes, Chris? Me? Why don't you say, yeah. That's where I'm going after the ringer. Okay. I'm going to be the Timmy Tomato, and I'm just going to be like, Timresh?

Timmy Tomato? Rotten. This is a good character. I got Triangle of Sadness sadness so I'm going again right we're going in snake draft yeah okay let's just put blonde

back on the board okay $100 for blonde okay I think this is one that in theory all three of us really want

right let me say something I'm gonna bet 100 I'm gonna put down 105 just to allow myself to speak I don't care about Marilyn Monroe at all.

And this is something that I have... This has been my truth for a very long time. As a child, I didn't care about Marilyn Monroe. Never cranked it once. Never one time. Honestly, Sean, no. Good for you. Not even emotionally.

Not even in emotionally. Not even like in terms of like my, like the wonder of the silver screen and the golden age of Hollywood. You do like blondes though. You do like blondes. I do. You like stringy, nervous blondes. Yeah, but who's a more nervous blonde

than Marilyn Monroe? It's the whole point of the film. She's famously not stringy. No, not stringy. That has nothing to do with it. It's not like a body thing. It's more of a just like never got the allure never got the

myth and don't particularly enjoy her movies other than Some Like It Hot and I guess The Misfits which is sort of a dark thing to say the time is up it would be a really hilarious thing if neither of you bit on it I'm gonna lose my shit by the way

I like Andrew Dominic so I would be able to rationalize it. You jumped in before I could say, I got this in the last draft. I'd be 105. I don't want this movie. I have a monologue for five minutes. I'll do 110. Thank God.

I think I would have quit this pod if you guys had stuck me with that after that. That would have been really funny. I really feel for Ana de Armas. I think she's doing okay. Yeah, she's okay. Okay. How did things not work out for her?

Why can't I say anything with sincerity? No, I'm not saying that you can't say that. I'm saying I think Ana de Armas is doing fine. She's doing fine. But it was supposed to be a whole thing, you know? Like No Time to Die, Blonde, and Deepwater. And Ben. And then. she's doing fine but it was supposed to be a whole thing you know like no time to die blonde and deep water and just kind of like and then um you know other a lot of things happen to a lot of people but i don't know this seems like it's falling a little bit by the wayside can she be

a knife's out too i don't think so i guess like in jail, right? She survives. Yeah. No, she's not in jail. She gets away with it at the end. I haven't seen Knives Out in a while. Okay. You have Knives Out 2 in your slate from this year. Yeah, but that doesn't mean I've seen Knives Out recently. You just said Ana Armis is in jail?

What are you talking about? Doesn't she get in trouble at the end? Oh, no, it's no it's she gets away yeah right come on brother how much do I have it for 110 you have it for 110

fabulous okay I'll take it this movie could also be nominated for best picture but it won't be because it's gonna be like rated triple X

right and also like five hours long could be I'm looking forward to it though I'm happy to have it. These are literally the top two movies

I have on the list that I made. Okay, cool. So I feel good about that. Okay, Chris, you're up. Black Panther 2, Wakanda Forever. Okay. How much? Start at

$2.80. Okay. Strong bid. So in very many sad and tragic ways possibly like the most intriguing marvel movie that we've ever seen because it is a superhero movie where the main character is very obviously tragically going to be absent um i'm just like this is a kugler bit this is this is i i like i is, I want this movie to be great.

If he's doing it, if Kugler agreed to do this and they thought this is the best way forward, I'm very, very, very curious and intrigued to see how they handle it. And also, just like, what is the sort of function within the MCU and as a blockbuster movie, which it will be. Supposed to come out in November.

Is that right? That's right. Kind of surprised. We haven't seen anything from it yet or any suggestions, but I know that there's a couple of Disney Marvel events coming up in the later summer, so I assume that's when... Are you going to go? I'm not. I'm not, but I assume that's when we'll

start to see stuff from it. D23? You've attended the last 12 D23s, as I recall. So you're skipping it this year. Yeah, but I'm usually... I'm dressed as Vision. So nobody knows that I've been there. White Vision, though.

Your favorite Vision. White Vision was your January 6th character. Oh, my God. How dare you. What was the DC version of D23 that I was... Fandom? Yeah, I was trapped in the Fandom for a while.

Yeah, you went into the Fandom? Yeah, no, I didn't. But you guys made fun of me for a while. Amanda, are you going to be bidding on this one? I don't know. I haven't decided yet. Okay, I'll go $285 just to keep it rolling. I'll go $290 then. You rolling. I'll go 290 then. You know, Kugler, undeniable, right?

In a year without PTA, without Quinton, without a bunch of big directors, Spike, yet another year without Catherine Bigelow. A lot of my, you know. So I'll say this. The first half of Chris's monologue where he was betting on Kugler, I was like, yeah, I'm definitely going to bid on this. And then then the second half when he was like it's also about how the MCU is gonna like go

forward I was like I'm out that's when you lost me that's when I lost you yeah but I bid anyway at 290 is the standing offer but I don't number one I obviously don't care if you want me to be honest but also I would say the fact that we have not seen anything and that whole world seems a bit in flux I don't know this seems like an opportunity for bad fans to go awry I did

I liked the original Black Panther a lot there are obviously some things that don't work in it I think it's some pretty bad CGI honestly and that really holds back my like genuine appreciation for parts of the movie. But Chadwick Boseman was a terrific hero. I really personally enjoyed what Michael B. was up to in that movie. I know that that's a very divisive character and a very divisive opinion about his performance, but I liked what he was up to. All caps acting.

It's a comic book movie. He was a comic book villain. I liked that yeah it was cool um i'm i'm very intrigued by this movie so i'll go for i'll go 300 um like chris said there's not not a lot of cooglers cooking there's also like there's not a lot of movies of this potential in in this second half of the year. There's not... Phase four has been beat, though. I mean, it's really not been good. It's been bad, but I just think that, like,

this movie has, like, the most Top Gun Maverick potential of to be, like, crowd-pleasing, but also emotionally resonant. Agree. You know that they're going to handle this with, hopefully, I assume,

with some elegance and some care i just think i just don't think they would have made this movie unless they were like this is the way to make it well because they could they could have just not you know what i mean they're probably not gonna make another eternals you know like they could have just not gone back to it they could have been like chadwick did it this is this this movie will last forever we don't want to like tarnish the legacy it's an interesting test of money on the line though i mean that movie is one of the biggest movies of all time and to test of money on the line though. I mean that movie is one of the biggest movies

of all time. And to leave that money on the table, I know that sounds gross to say it, but I'm sure that they did the calculus there. And probably I think

in a sincere way trying to honor his work and the character that he created and everything else that Bozeman contributed. But anybody else? Sean has 300.

305. Amanda, you haven't seen Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness no did you see Thor Love and Thunder no I haven't seen Thor Love and Thunder I did go see the Eternals I sat next to you Sean oh yeah you were pregnant remember that that was

hilarious you came to the movies to see Eternals pregnant that's sick that you did that you're the best I'm sorry that I attacked you came to the movies to see eternals pregnant that's sick that you did that you're the best i'm sorry that i attacked you you're okay i just it's fine i did what i could no you're great that was awesome i was really really pregnant at that point um i think eternals is the last mcu thing i have seen because no spider-man was after that right oh right spider-man and i was also pregnant i like that and then i but I haven't done any of the TV shows again. I listened to the watch talk about them, but I'll go 310 by the way. 325.

I, the show is man. Moon Knight was such a disappointment to me. Such a disappointment. Yeah. I don't want so much more for that show. It's weird. I mean, I, I felt like it took me like five years

to get to the opinion that you had about MCU the whole time you know like I was really in for a good stretch of time and I feel like I feel myself going out

and it's weird and I mean this sincerely that's that's five years of time well spent you enjoyed it yeah I did

I really liked I really liked a lot of those movies. And it's fine if you liked it, then you liked it. You had a nice time until you didn't. Did we go too far? Are its tentacles a little bit too everywhere? I would argue yes, but you know.

Sean, if they do Secret Wars and the Russos come back? I'll probably get into it again because I love that run. That's one of my favorite stories. I don't know. We'll see. Bob, I'm high, right?

330. 340. This is arguably the biggest movie on the board right now. That's what I'm saying. Is it? I think so. Is it not? Because I have a ton of singles to write.

Although you can't really single to write anymore with the infield shift. I don't know. There's one that Chris is a coward if he doesn't go for. Interesting. You're referring to Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio? Yes.

Chris, I see you as sort of a Mark Canna type. You know, good play control, right back control. Yep. Can go the other way. But then there's like a fucking guy standing in shallow right field.

And I can't, you know what I mean? Like the seeing eye signal, the blooper is gone. This is how I know you haven't been watching the Mets this year. Leading the league on a base percentage.

Come on. They put the ball in play nonstop. Do they? They do. I was watching the Dodgers and I was just like, this is a nice night out. But this is a tough product right now. 335?

Mike Trout hitting, ripping balls, and there's like three short stops. Yeah, I don't love it either. What would be the... Chris has 340. 340. Okay, I'll go 345. 350.

Are you really want this one or are you baiting me? I'm not baiting you. This is like... You and I both know what this is. This is probably going to be one of the top three biggest movies of the year.

Right? Yeah. It's definitely a signature movie of the second half of the year. I think that for as much as it's concerning that they haven't dropped a trailer yet, I think that if they put out a trailer coming out of D23

and it's like, yo, they did it, we'll all regret not bidding higher on this. Okay. $3.55. You convinced me. $3.70. Amanda did a great job bidding me up

on Triangle of Sadness. That did a great job bidding me up on Triangle of Sadness. That was a good strategy. I like that. Thank you very much. Thanks. I mean, I would have been happy to get it.

Yeah, it's going to be good. I like France. I'm going to like it. I understand it's not French, but, you know, I wish I had been at Cannes. I think Ruben is Swedish. I know.

Is he Swedish or Swiss? I know, but I was just associating it with the experience of me getting to go to Cannes and being on the Riviera. We'll go one day, Amanda. We'll go.

Okay. Me, you, Alice, Knox, Eileen, Zach. Let's take the whole family. We can rent a little chateau. Yep. CR can fly us out in his biplane. CR's babysitting. Coach Chris?

375. 38 Chris? 375. 385. 390. Four. Top Gun Maverick went for 375 in our last auction. How much did you guys

spend on the Matrix in the 2021? Oh, God. Did I get it? You got it. And we went, you like bid a high, well, I think licorice pizza

might be the highest ever bid. Well, no, that might not be true. That might be red, white, and water is the highest ever bid. I got no regrets about licorice pizza. I believe I won that auction due to that victory. Did we ever vote on that

or are you just declaring yourself the victor? No. I don't know know I think I won okay did you ever open it up to having people vote though who would vote your minions

the listeners most people don't listen to the show they just vote that's something I've learned too right well there are a lot of people who listen to the show

and then there are a lot of people who vote I get notes all the time people on Twitter where do I vote where can I it's not what do you mean you're on Twitter listen to the show and then there are a lot of people who vote i get notes all the time on twitter where do i vote work work night you're on twitter what do you mean where do you vote uh the google doc we may have to what do you have it at 375 390 i think it's all the way up to 400 i keep forgetting the number we need some sort of like screen that shows us what the current bid is, Bob. Maybe in the chat. That might be helpful, actually. I'll go 405.

410. Where's your ceiling, Sean? Where's your ceiling? Where's your hard deck? I got nope for 410. What's going to be a better film? We're one week out from nope as of this pod. One week out from my most anticipated movie those commercials I mean they

look pretty good they're they're freaky and arresting I spent a lot of time watching commercials these days do you watch you just sit there throughout the whole commercial I do

actually like I'm actually more engaged with the commercial at this point than I am then like whatever Phillies game Zach is watching sorry we were we're watching the Phillies in this house and I am in like whatever Phillies game Zach is watching. Sorry. We were watching the Phillies in this house and it's really bleak. 415.

425. Intriguing. 425. We're now in the, we're getting into the Killers of the Flower Moon zone. Yeah. Will this be half the film that Killers of the Flower Moon is going to be?

I think they have different intents, probably. I don't know. Is it not to entertain? That's true. In that sense, all movies are the same. Human Centipede, The Intern, they're all the same movie.

Yo, excuse me. Leave The Intern out of this. Don't be disrespectful. But I mean this sincerely. You just explained my philosophy, my approach to this whole show. It's all on the table. It's all one human centipede.

How many human centipedes have you been a part of in your time? Is it? Am I high bid? Yeah, 425, right? Sean has 650 left to spend in the draft. What's that? Sean has 650 left to spend in the draft. What's that?

You have 650 left to spend in the entire draft. I mean, I'm weighing that as I weigh whether or not... I mean, I'd like to have a blockbuster. This would be a good blockbuster to have. Time is coming up, Sean. All right, Chris, you can have Wakanda forever. Okay. Thank you.

That's what I wanted. I feel like I got pushed up on this one by you. No, you're okay. It's okay. Well, it's very similar to the Triangle of Sadness bidding there where it's like, I would have been happy to have it, not dying for it. I do believe in Coogler.

I do think that there's inherent risk in the telling of this movie. So we'll see. Okay. Amanda. Okay. I will take... Man, I just really don't know what I'm doing here. I guess I'll start with Armageddon Time,

which is the aforementioned James Gray film that Sean has seen and loved very much and thus that he's not eligible to take. And I am also really looking forward to it. Stars Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong. Check out their variety actor. Was it variety, Chris? It's it's varieties, actors on actors, actors on actors for just some some actor dialogue and some radical listening. But that's okay. Anthony Hopkins is also in this film, and it is... I haven't seen it, but it's being described

as a semi-autobiomemoristic take of James Gray's life and childhood. And there's some political stuff in it that we don't really need to get into because I haven't seen it. I will go 100. Okay, so this is just between us, right? Yeah. Yeah, just for anybody who's listening who's not heard this before, if any of us has seen one of these movies, we try to make a good faith effort to not

bid on them because we already know where they're going. I will say I just thought this movie was going. I will say I just I thought this movie was beautiful. I'm going to go 130. Okay. I have to start

I have to start watching my wallet, Amanda. Yeah. I'm going to go 150. Okay. Huge fan of James Gray's films. I think we all loved

Last City of Z very much. 175. Okay. I'll go 200. I'm going to let you have it. Okay, great. I feel really good about that.

So I have bros and Armageddon time. Incredible stuff. Natural pairing. Yeah. You know what? So I have, so yeah, let's just recap real quick. I have Banshees of Inushurin and Black Panther Wakanda

forever. Amanda Bros and Armageddon time Sean Triangle sadness and blonde. What a world for Sean. Mm-hmm.

Is that is that a compliment? Is that an insult? It's just an interesting slate for you. Well, I love world cinema.

Mm-hmm. I love I love old Hollywood and our icons. Unlike you, Chris, I have an cinema. I love old Hollywood and our icons. Unlike you, Chris, I have an appreciation for the great screen legends. Yeah, I'm just standing there, just middle fingers at Mount Rushmore. Just like, I can't care about this. You're much more interested in Killmonger. That's where your head's at these days.

Okay. All right. I know what I'm going to do for my second draft which is i'm going to stay with the acclaimed directors exploring their childhood and film and i'm going to go with the fablemans i was waiting for this yeah directed by steven spielberg screenplay by tony kushner uh as i learned when west side story came out the remake of west side story from these two gentlemen uh don't underestimate them at least in terms of quality. Perhaps in terms of box office, not quite what it once was,

but I really enjoyed West Side Story. And this movie stars Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Paul Dano. I'm here for it, so I'll do 200. This is a very interesting moment, because you know that Amanda and I both definitely want this one. We both have $650 left. CR presumably also wants it, but he's down to $355. Yeah.

And you opened it how much, Amanda? $200. A hefty bid. Here I am. When you shrug, no one can hear that. Okay, no, I know. So just keep that in mind. You know what?

Shrugging is not audible. Amanda, from now on, just say shrug. Okay, shrug. I'll go 210. I'm excited about this movie. Me too. Christopher? I'm going to let you guys fence for a little while.

Not a Spielberg guy? My pouch. No, it's just like I got to watch the wallet. So let's just see where we wind up. What if this were written by Tony Gilroy instead of Tony Kushner would you then be in

if it was Taylor Sheridan's The Fablemans a Yellowstone story then I would be betting a thousand dollars on it I'll do 225 I'll do 235

did you guys see that Taylor Sheridan just like, he had a show called 1932 and he was like, actually, it's called 1923. Yes. And now they're just doing, that's the Harrison Ford one, right? Yeah.

Yeah. But was that just a mistake in the marketing material? Possibly. It also, I think it's because of the genealogy, like the family tree of the Duttons. They were like, actually, we got to like adjust this. I also, secret, I'm going to give you guys

a little TV take here. I think that because we're probably heading into a recession, they were like, nobody's going to watch a show about the Depression. Intriguing.

Yeah. Very intriguing. Americans are paying at the pump. They don't want to do it on Paramount+. $255.55 $2.75 so you got West Side Story last year

yeah that was good I enjoyed it you know I love going to the movies Chris did you see that film West Side Story yeah I loved it would you sing a little bit of America for us here?

No, you won't? Okay. I won't. Sorry. Okay. 285. 300. Quick on the release there. 305. I forgot. I just shrugged again and I didn't say it, but I'm shrugged. This is helping

you learn what your physical performance is like usually because then we can we can literalize it for the audience. We can say like this these are the actions that Amanda is taking

without audibly expressing herself. Okay. 310. You got your shoulders are really up and tight now. Also just to describe for the listener

Amanda has her computer sort of angled at a way where she looms over Sean and I. Sean and I are looking straight to camera. We have... This is just the level of my desk. It's not adjustable.

Sitting in LA rooms, just like totally normal. And Amanda is like... Perched like a hawk. Chris Dapp's Porzingis. I mean, I honestly do you want to come over and adjust the setup? I don't know how this could be different this is this is 320 325 this is my new desk I love I had to give up my office 330 you can't have it all that's really true 335 340 345 350

355 I mean this movie will be better than Wakanda Forever Are you saying that to me or to Christopher? I'm just expressing a statement Okay I'm gonna hold you to that What if the Fable Mints is just out and out trash? It just sucks

You know then we took a bad bet We took a bad bet. That's like, that's our We Bought a Zoo. Yeah. But it's about movie auction pods. Remember when they made We Bought a Zoo? Yeah. Damn, I remember going to the premiere of that at the Ziegfeld.

Sheesh. I just can't believe that's a real movie. A lot of people I love were a party to that. Yeah, absolutely. Matt Damon might be working at a zoo soon if he has a lot of crypto. Hey-o. 360. 360. 365.

370. You now see, it's funny how when you get to a certain number, people's interest wanes. Sean went from this is going to be better than Wakanda forever

to, eh, Tony Kushner. What's he ever done? No, I did not say that. So don't put those. You were just like, don't put that on me are we sure are we sure

Angels in America is good that's what that meant it never happened it never happened and I never thought it 380 385 386

390 391 392 393 394 400 401 wow 402 392. 393. 394. 400. 401. Wow.

402. 403. Here's the problem with this game. Is you'll get this, right? You'll get the full net at 418. Let's just say for the sake of conversation. Okay. Getting ahead of ourselves.

And then you'll be like, I got Flaming Man's in my back pocket. And then I'll just draft like two other movies that Chris and Sean don't care about. And I'll be like, I had Flavor Man's in my back pocket and then I'll just draft like two other movies that Chris and Sean don't care about. And I'll be like, I had an Amanda draft and it doesn't matter. Leaving CR to get other things

by retaining his dough. And this is where the collusion arises because you're like, I don't care. This is me picking the things I'm interested in. This is a weird auction

because there are not that many like big movies. So it's not like you're leaving three other awards bait for like big movies. So it's not like you're leaving three other awards. Right. Or blockbuster movies. Also, by the way,

the, the disdain, the dismissiveness with which you said, I did an Amanda draft 405, by the way, I just, what can I do except to be myself? You can think beyond yourself.

That's right. Probably not given like history. 406. 407. 408. 410. 414.

418. You want to just give up? 421. 425. 428. 430. I25. 428. 430. I had some trouble counting there in case anyone is wondering what happened.

What are we at? 430. It says it right there in the chat box. Bobby is helping you. You asked Bobby to do that. Everyone relax. And this young man is just furiously typing away. Everyone just take a deep breath.

Bobby, thank you for all your work here you're the best 435 440 445 450 455

460 465 470 I feel like I should say something you think I might give up 475 okay 480 so you guys both think you can get this for whatever 500 I feel like I should say something. You think I'm going to give up? 475. Okay.

480. So you guys both think you can get this for whatever, 500, and then just get two cheapies to round out the roster, huh? That doesn't work for Daryl Morey, guys. It's about depth.

Well, this is being released on July 15, so you don't know what he's done. Yeah. We could be in an era now where Devin Booker could be a Philadelphia 76er right now. You don't know. I highly doubt that. Also don now where he Devin Booker could be a Philadelphia 76er right now you don't know I highly doubt that

also don't know if Devin Booker and Jay Hendricks would be good together Kendall Jenner coming back to Philly 490 yeah

yeah I'm sure she misses it 495 I'm sure she's like I gotta spend more time in Philadelphia didn't she go to like a high school basketball game

she was around 500 501 501 501 502 505 this is like the the mark walberg blackjack scene in the gambler like you guys want me to save you from yourselves what are you doing here do you want to like talk about is it camus does he talk about the stranger that's in the that's the um english lecture he gives where he's talking about hamlet and however if you can't write hamlet don't bother writing um but this is the blackjack scene is when he's like i didn't come

here for protection i came here for the opposite 5 15 honestly sean Knox is going to wake up soon. So like, let's, what are we going to do here? Wow. That's a tough spot for you. How will you complete your auction? He'll just come on the podcast and scream at you as well. Yeah.

This sounds like some good content. 520. 525. Put a bullet in him, Amanda. Come on. 530. Okay. 550? it in them Amanda come on 530 okay but 550

oh you guys have the same amount of money this is hilarious I didn't realize that 555 I don't really care you can have it did you just say that because you have to go get your son no I'm just like what are we doing? Just take it.

Who cares? It might be the last good movie on the board. I mean, sure. But, you know, what are we going to do at this point? You went all the way up to 550 and then you punted? Yeah. Okay. That's fine.

That's good. I'm happy to have it. Okay. Okay. I did not expect you to punt. i honestly thought you would keep going i mean i went pretty far but it's just like what are we doing i don't know we're making a pod people were listening they're baited breath will they go up another dollar another five dollars okay 555 so chris you're up all right so sean how much money do you have left

95 okay i'm gonna go Avatar 2 for $96. I was not going to bid on this one. Why not? I'll do $100. $105. Well, this is a very risky proposition, obviously. Why? Because it could be like the greatest movie of all time. It has that potential. It does.

It also has other potential, as you know. Yeah. So, Chris only has $355. Yeah. And I have... You know what? Let's do it. I'll take Avatar for $356.

Why not? That's fine. I didn't expect that. Wrap up the pod. why not that's fine I didn't expect that she's trying to wrap up the pod but that's so funny she's trying to get it done what else am I gonna spend it on if it's the biggest

fucking movie ever made you guys just talk about Big Jim all the time let's go Big Jim is back Big Jim is back I love the sea too it's not on Chris

you know what the fuck else am I gonna spend it on give me Avatar 2 it's like the way I love the sea too. It's not on Chris. You know? What the fuck else am I going to spend it on? Give me Avatar 2. It's like the way of water or some shit. Get down. Yeah.

Yeah. Sean has like fucking 90 bucks. Let's go. This is chaotic. I mean, the last time something like this happened,

I went Cry Macho for $1. And you know what? It worked out great. My 90-year-old cane made Cry Macho. It seriously looked like it was made for $1. Produced by the great Al Ruddy. That's Godfather winning producer. Okay.

So now is it my turn? Yep. There's not a lot of films left that we all want. Fair to say. Correct. Well, see, this will be a true test of whether or not you guys are actually working with each other or against each other.

Is it? Maybe it's just a test of whether we're annoyed with you. We just have chemistry. That's what this is called. You and Amanda have chemistry? Yes. When I look at her, I'm like, I know what she's thinking. Yeah.

And then sometimes I surprise him because that's important. Hmm. And then sometimes I surprise him because that's important. Hmm. Oh my God. I don't know what to put up here. I'll go $1 for Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things. Okay.

This is his new film starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe. I like all those people. Here's the description of the film. Victoria McCandless is a free-spirited, highly sensual woman to foe. I like all those people. Here's the description of the film. Victoria McCandless is a free-spirited, highly sensual woman who drowns herself to escape her abusive husband.

In the aftermath, she is brought back to life by an eccentric scientist named Godwin Baxter. Pass. I'm out. He replaces her brain with the brain of her unborn child and changes Victoria's name to Belle Baxter. No thanks.

Anytime you take like five minutes to explain the premise of a movie, channel surfing. I'm flipping back to golf. So you're letting me have poor things. Oh yeah. I love Yorgos, but I'm still mad that he never made his

Oliver North miniseries. Yorgos and Emma Stone, but I'm good. Here are Yorgos' last few films. Dogtooth, Masterpiece, Killing of a Sacred Deer, quality film, The Lobster, Masterpiece, The Favorite Masterpiece.

Yeah. Congrats. My King of Athens. Yeah, you did it. How come when he says it, it's fine, but when I say it when who says what when he when he says like congrats in a rude way fuck him too it's fine yeah no chris and i have chris and i have a we our tension is is is is negotiated on the golf course okay yeah it sure is. Unsubscribe.

So I have to nominate another film? Yes. You'll take it from me. Okay. Then let's have some fun. But I'll nominate it. Yeah. Only auteurs.

Okay. For me. Okay. Okay. Kaiju Cinema. $94 for Disappointment Boulevard. Already asked for a new film. Do we think this is coming out? I was curious about this.

I believe it will. This is the director of Hereditary and Midsommar's new movie starring Joaquin Phoenix. And there was a report a few weeks ago that the most recent cut of this film was four hours long. To which I say thank you very much. Cool. So I can just have this? Chris? I'm gonna, so I don't, I don't really

want this movie. You don't have to. Yeah, I'm not gonna bid on it. Then don't do it. Then don't do it. Who cares? So Chris has three open spots right now. And Amanda has two. Yes. But we don't want this movie. I don't know what happens if I'm...

I don't want a four-hour movie. I just don't know enough about it. You don't know enough about it. It's not my bag. You know? What's he disappointed about? You know?

Who's getting born back into their unborn child? What triangle is it? So you're out on Yorgos Lanthimos. You're out on Ruben Ostland. Wakanda Forever. Okay. Chrissy MCU.

That's who I am now. I have five quality films. Congratulations. Amanda has Bros and Avatar 2. And Armageddon Time, which is your favorite movie of the year. I do like that movie a lot. So once again, you know, I could have lied. I could have been like, are we getting time? Actually,

I didn't see it. I should get on it. We're drifting towards another Bernie Sanders draft for me. Aren't we? Where I just, I just redistribute the wealth. Yeah.

Well, okay. So now it returns to Chris to bid on one film, but I'm not, I'm, I'm cashed out. Okay.

So it's basically me and Amanda have to fill out our stuff yes I will for the sake of of our listeners to make it dramatic we'll pick a movie that I I'm pretty sure is coming out

because I'm fairly certain it's deep into post and that Amanda and I will both enjoy so we can have a little bit here for Asteroid City it's not guaranteed this is coming out this year.

It's not guaranteed. Didn't he shoot it right after Dispatch? He did, but I, my gut tells me that they'll hold it for Can. Do you want me to take it off then? I can go to something else.

I don't know. It is very possible that it's coming out. I genuinely don't know. But Wes likes his movies to play Can. Yeah. I also didn't have this list

on my list and had forgotten the title of it. But I would agree with you that I'm very interested in it. They filmed this in Spain, right? Yeah. It's a western, apparently. And Tom Hanks is in it? Tom Hanks is in it.

Tilda again, Bill Murray, Agent Brady, Margot Robbie. Yeah, I guess. We haven't figured out a system to penalize anybody who doesn't you know, if a movie is delayed. I have other films. We do have a system that you can pay a hundred dollar penalty

to keep it next time. Did we actually enforce that? Yeah, we did, but you chose not to do it for Top Gun Maverick. But only to avoid a meltdown from her honor.

I already had the meltdown. Meltdown part two. Yeah. So do you guys want me to keep Asteroid City or not? Yeah, you can bid. Sure. Yeah, why not?

All right. It seems a little bit like giving me a participation trophy, but I'm going to bid $100. Okay. I'll do $120. I will do $150. Okay. I'll do...

How much do I have? $294? I'll do $200. I'll do $220. I'll feel a little different about this year if this movie comes out. This would improve the slate. I have two spots left.

Okay, I'll do $250. You're killing me. I will do $255. I'll do... How much do I have? I'll do $260. I'll do how much do I have I'll do 260 I'll do 275

Wes has never gone back to back in movie release years I know but I mean like that I guess that's just on me I just thought he was like we're well into production

on Asteroid City but you're right we probably would have known coming November 15th the new film from Wes Anderson it's so hard to say because COVID screwed all this stuff up yeah

this cast is wild Tilda Swinton Bill Murray Adrian Brody Tom Hanks Margot Robbie Rupert Friend Jason Schwartzman Scarlett Johansson Brian Cranston Hope Davis Jeff Goldblum Jeffrey Wright Liev

Schreiber Matt Dillon Matt Dillon yep Maya Hawk Tony Revolori Fisher Stevens 280 yeah this movie's gonna be good I'll do 290 I'll do 295 and just take it okay I was gonna say you should just take me out so I have Asteroid City now it's Amanda and she has she have $60 Chris it's for two

films yep I'm not has $ Chris, for two films. Yep. Amanda has $294 for two films. We really botched this, guys. There's no drama. Well, we can move quickly through these last ones. Yeah. Okay, Amanda, so you bid next movie. Okay.

I think what I'm going to do is... I'll be honest. I know that I should do women talking which is the Sarah Polly film but and it stars Frances McDormand, Ben Whishaw, Rooney Mara, Claire Foy and Jesse Buckley who are like some of the best actors working but sounds a little grim I guess the premise is the premise is not uplifting and part of me just wants to do stupid movies instead. So maybe I will do... Black Adam? No, I'm not going to do Black Adam.

I'm going to do... This is weird. Am I really just going to spend this money on two Searchlight pictures that I'm not even sure are going to come out? Darren Aronofsky's The Whale? No, I'm not spending come out. Darren Aronofsky is the whale? No, I'm not spending any money on Darren Aronofsky, respectfully. Sure, I'll do the menu. That's coming out. I'm looking forward to this.

That's coming out. So here's my, can I just jump in, Amanda, to say that I have a weird hang up about auction drafting movies that I've seen, like that the trailer is like, we know, like I was thinking about this for gray man. Okay. I was like, Oh man,

you know, it's basically like that thing is almost out. So you are not going to do gray man or bid on the menu. Well, I was thinking it was weird because the menu I'm like, damn, I'm like the menu is a couple of weeks away. Right.

Yeah. Okay. I, yeah, I guess that's true. So it stars on a Taylor joy, Nicholas menu's a couple weeks away, right? Okay. Yeah, I guess that's true. So it stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Holt, and Ralph Fiennes. It looks awesome. And there is, it's basically,

there's a chef who's up to some mysterious things. Should we summarize it that way? Yeah, sure. Seems like he has a very, like on a remote island, you can go to this incredible tasting menu. Honestly, a bit Yorgos Lanthimos-esque thriller. Right, exactly. I'll do $61.

Sorry, Chris. That's okay. Yeah. So you just take that, put that in your pocket. Yeah, I'm going to take it. So now you've got $233 to do with what you please.

Yes. Jesus Christ. I have honestly no idea what I should. Why did I? Why did you bid me up to the $5.55 for the Fablemans? You have $2.33 left for one movie. And I have $60 for two. Yeah. It was an act of generosity.

Sean, I gave you the film that you wanted. I'm so excited for the Fablemans i i think it'll be really good i love movies okay what is this like i this is a movie this is another searchlight movie where i'm like is this a real movie but whatever i'm gonna just spend 200 something this is so stupid i can't believe how badly I did this. Join me in the radical. You guys know about See How They Run? I don't know what that is. Okay.

So this is it. I'm just reading from Wikipedia, but I have seen a still for this. So it exists and it's dated. It's an upcoming American mystery film starring Saoirse Ronan, Sam Rockwell, Adrian Brody, Ruth Wilson, Reese Shearsmith, Harris Dickinson,

Charlie Cooper. Okay, sorry. And David Oyelowo. Set in 1950s London where a desperate Hollywood film producer sets out to turn a popular West End play into a film. And then people in the production get murdered. So it's basically a Knives Out wannabe

that's set in London with Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell. That sounds delightful. Why not? And you'll be taking that for $233? Exactly, because I'm all about budgeting and assigning appropriate value. So, that's great. This could be very good, and this is a true Amanda movie

for sure. Totally, yeah. So I have two left. That's a lot of money on that movie. Well. So, $60 for me for two movies? Yeah, have a great time. feel free to disperse it in in creative ways for um so for 59 i'm going to be taking tar the new film from todd field sure the thinking about todd field recently um just because i've been going to a lot of

fidelio parties while my wife has been out of town. I always, whenever Eileen is like, what's CR up to? I'm like, you mean Nick Nightingale? My favorite piano player? I was thinking about Todd Field because of Top Gun and because of Quentin Tarantino's great monologue about Top Gun and Sleep With Me, which Todd Field is his scene partner in that.

Todd Field then went on to be a big-time director who then has not made a movie in quite a long time. So he made Little Children and In the Bedroom and hasn't done anything since then. But Tar is set in Berlin, and it's about a musician played by Cate Blanchett who is, quote, days away from recording the symphony

that will take her to the very heights of her already formidable career. Lydia Tar's remarkably bright and charming six-year-old adopted daughter Petra has a key role to play here. symphony that will take her to the very heights of her already formidable career lydia tar's remarkably bright and charming six-year-old adopted daughter petra has a key role to play here in in so that's 59 for that right sure sounds like pure cr material put it right next to heat and a double bill one dollar i am taking dark no i'm not taking that for one dollar i am taking dark. No, I'm not taking that for $1. I am taking violent night starring David Harbor. It is an action comedy.

Great. Great. From the right. I think it's from the, either the writer or the director of the film dead snow, which is a great, uh, Nazi zombies being reanimated movie that you can find on netflix

and it and it wouldn't be a movie auction unless i took a david harbour movie so we'll go with that for a buck that is true that's david harbour is playing someone named santa claus yeah in this movie how do you know it's not just santa claus it might be i i thought it was it was an ex-con who's at his uh house but maybe it's... Let's just quickly go through Tommy Wuerkele's filmography. He's the filmmaker behind Violent Night. Here are the films he's made. A movie called Kill Bull Joe.

And then in 2009, he made Dead Snow. 2013, he made Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters. 2014, he followed up the Dead Snow saga with Dead Snow 2, Red vs. Dead. He made a film in 2017 called what happened to monday starring glenn close numi rapace and willem defoe i refuse to believe that's a real movie he'll be making he'll be releasing violent night in 2022 and then in 2023 that's he has a very exciting release called Spermageddon.

So look, I don't think David Harbour is missing right now. You know what I mean? So I'm just going to bet on the horse that got me here. This is an even more chaotic auction than I expected in terms of the results. Just Amanda pulling down Avatar 2 for $3.56. Didn't have that on my bingo

card. Shall I run through a couple of the films that we did not draft? Yes. Nobody took the David O. Russell movie. Amsterdam. Yeah. Yeah, I've got my doubts about this. Okay.

He's very hit and miss for me as a filmmaker. Very hit and miss. And no one took... It does have an amazing cast, for the record. Prey? The Predator movie? No, but you and I will be doing a seven hour pod about it.

Bodies, bodies, bodies. I've seen that, so I can't track that. I did like that movie though. And Gray Man. Why didn't you take Gray Man? You could have. I'll tell you why I didn't take Gray Man. I'll tell you why. My position on Gosling is shaken.

What? What? I'm just like wondering what's up. Because of Ken? Because he's playing Ken in Barber? It's not because... It's just like... I'm just like, where are you?

What are you doing? Are you sure the Greyman is like... Remember when you were in Only God Forgives? Yeah. I was just talking to Van Lathan about this. So we were talking about Netflix. And I was like, Ryan Gosling hasn't made a movie in like five years. And he's just showing up in a Netflix movie that no one has seen.

There's no commercials for it. Directed by the Russo brothers. There was a commercial for it during the finals. Was it good? It's okay. I was like, hey, it's a commercial for The Gray Man. Netflix is advertising. I don't know.

I'm open to Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans doing some kind of cheapo spy stuff. I'd like to like it. I'd like to like it for sure. Here's some other movies that we left on the board. Decision to Leave also debuted at Cannes. This is a new Park Chan-wook film. Apparently it's very good.

Salem's Lot adaptation from Gary Dauberman. It's part of the Warner Brothers extended. Stephen King. This movie could be really good. Actually starring Lewis Pullman. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. It was Bill Pullman's son. And of course, in Top Gun Maverick, he plays Bob. I think he's the star of this movie. Handful of others.

Halloween Ends, the final Halloween movie in this new trilogy. 13 Lives, Ron Howard's Thai Cave Rescue.s, the final Halloween movie in this new trilogy. 13 Lives, Ron Howard's Thai Cave Rescue film. Colin Farrell's in that, right? Colin Farrell,

which could be good. I am excited about Strange World, the new animated movie from Don Hall from Disney Animation. Kind of a weird year for Pixar,

but Don Hall's very good. He made Ryan, the Last Dragon and Big Hero 6. It honestly looks very good. If you guys watch the trailer and you think I'm crazy, tell me,

but it's like an ode to 1950s sci-fi, like Roger Corman-esque movies. I think it looks cool. The Zone of Interest, I hope, comes out this year. This is Jonathan Glazer's

first movie. It's not coming out this year? It's not, yeah. It's 2023. Martin Amis adaptation about the Holocaust. Speaking of people who have taken long stretches

between films, Empire of Light, Sam Mendes' new movie. Is that coming out this year? I believe so. I believe it will be a December release. Olivia Colman and College Firth.

It's about like a small English movie theater, right? It's about an old cinema. Correct. What else? I mentioned The Whale. The Pale Blue Eye is also apparently coming out this year. This is a new Scott Cooper movie starring Christian Bale,

which is adapted from the novel. A lot of bail. Three bails this year. Yeah. The God Butcher is coming. Oh, boy. Oh, there's one last one that we should mention, which could turn out to be the biggest Oscar contender of the year, which is Bardo, which is Ina Ritu's new movie. Oh, there's one last one that we should mention, which could turn out to be the biggest Oscar contender of the year,

which is Bardo, which is Ina Ritu's new movie. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Not a massive Ina Ritu fan, personally, but I think it's a Netflix film. It will be very, very noisy. Anything else, Amanda? Was there anything else on your list that you were interested in?

Yeah, I just remembered that I forgot the Mia Hansen Love film that debuted at Cannes that stars Lea Seydoux. That looks disturbing. Yeah, but I mean, I like Mia Hansen Love. Bergman Island was great. Obviously, Lea Seydoux is Lea Seydoux. Oh, I was thinking about the Rebecca Hall Tim Roth one. Sorry, Resurrection. Oh, okay.

I've seen that. That is disturbing. Deeply disturbing. You're thinking of One Fine Morning. I am. So, I maybe could have done that instead of, I don't know. that is disturbing deeply disturbing uh you're thinking of one fine morning i am so i i maybe could have done that instead of i don't know the menu but i'm excited about the menu too all right let's quickly recap so we all spent all of our dough though in quite incoherent ways at times here are my five movies i got triangle of sadness palm door winning reuben osselin film blonde andrew dominic's story of Marilyn Monroe adapted from the Joyce Carol Oates novel,

Steven Spielberg's The Fablemans, Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, and Ari Aster's Disappointment Boulevard, Amanda Gott, Billy Eichner's Breakthrough starring movie role Bros, Armageddon Time from the great James Gray, Avatar The Way of Water

from Big Jim Cameron. She loves water too. I do love water. Mark Millad's directorial feature debut The Menu, who we didn't mention is the director of many of the best episodes of Succession. See How They Run. I guess an

Agatha Christie-esque whodunit it seems like. Fair to say. And then CR got The Banshees of Intershurran, the new Martin McDonough film. Ryan Coogler's Black Panther, Wakanda Forever. Asteroid City, the new film from Wes Anderson, which I don't think is coming out this year, but it might.

It might come out this year. Todd Fields' return to cinema, Tar. And for $1, Violent Night from Tommy Workola starring David Harbour starring David Harbour you're talking about

David Harbour like he's Matt Damon he doesn't do us wrong he's got great taste okay this was fun guys you got any regrets any excitements do you have any regrets

I don't know might have been good to get to get Black Panther that might have been good right it's this seems like a really really weak

um blockbuster second half when you look at these 15 films are you guys excited for the rest of the year

the the five movies that I got are all from filmmakers who I really admire and I'm excited to see their work in the context of like drafting auctioning. They're not all that sexy, but that's what is the point of this exercise? I actually don't know. I'm looking forward to, I guess all five of the movies that I drafted, certainly four out of five. But, And now I'm just afraid to say these are movies that interest me because Sean's going to make fun of me.

But I am aware of the difference between Amanda movies and movies that move the culture, shall we say? And it seems like a weird year. There is no center for movies, I guess. I don't know. Or I haven't figured out what it's going to be yet. I think that we're all weather veins, but we all have our own meteorology,

you know? Okay. I love how you put that. Did you come up with that? The purpose of this auction is for us to point people in a direction and say the wind's blowing yonder

towards Tar. I was going to say, due east is violent night. Okay. Chris, Amanda, thank you so much. Sean, it's always a pleasure to be on the big picture thanks for having me chris this has been your last appearance thanks so much amanda you too you're done okay good job though i really appreciate everything you put into it thanks to wags bobby great job on this episode next week it's nope week a movie that i auctioned for uh many many months ago so uh we'll see you

then
