This is the story of a detective who thought he was above the law until we came together to take him down. I said, you're going to see my face to the day that you die. I got you, I got you, I got you. Listen to the girlfriends, untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I got you. Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers?

Who catfishes a city? Is it even safe to snort human remains? Is that the plot of footloose? I'm comedian Rory Scoville, and I'm here to tell you, Josh Dean and I have a new podcast. that celebrates the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. It's called Crimeless, a true crime comedy podcast. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know he has a reputation, but it's going to catch up to him. Gabe Ortiz is a cop.

His brother Larry, a mystery Gabe didn't want to solve until it was too late. He was the head of this gang. You're going to push that line for the cause? Took us under his wing and showed us the game. game, as they call it. When Larry's killed, game must untangle a dangerous past, one that could destroy everything he thought he knew.

Listen to the brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome. Bung, bum, bum, to the 2025 prestige casting awards. I'm Jack O'Brien, and I'm thrilled to be

joined, as always, by my co-host. Mr. Miles Gray. Oh, yes. Thank you for having me. This is a story to fair, prestige casting, something that's been with the show since Super Producer Anahosone introduced this concept. Oh, remember her? People could be casted so well in a film that it transcends the entire film.

And we call that prestige casting. It surpasses casting, even. Yeah, it's its own thing now. Miles, the stars are here. They're shining bright tonight. And by that, of course, I mean, we're. We're thrilled to be joined by the original executive producer of this show, co-creator of the Daily Zykeyes, now an EP on shows like Last Cultureistas,

and this is important. It's Anna Hosni. Hey! Thank you. You're welcome. Shall we begin? Let's start handing out some awards. Okay, now if you didn't.

We're on the red carpet right now. Yeah, yeah. There's a fucking Goodyear blimp, soaring overhead. The stars are out serving. Step into the 360 cam. I'm wearing Uniclo heat tech. Oh, aren't we doing it? Wow.

That's right. This is probably Uniclo heat tech. Extra. I want to say, irregular. Probably 2017. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Solid, solid, solid.

Looks great. All right. We dropped the NOMs on the Trends episode on December 16th. You should go back and listen to that one. Or this will make less sense. Yes. Miles and I entered that episode, not knowing the categories. Now we know.

Okay, we did send, we did a very secret tabulation and sent the results to Pricewaterhouse Cooper, who is actually tabulating everything and we're going to, I guess we're going to tabulate it out loud, though, too. This is actually a great, because so we're, we're all going to vote in real time, but then Anna has veto power, which I think should be part of the Academy Awards. Wouldn't that be fun if there was just one person who, like, could. run on stage. They did that with Moonlight, remember? Right, exactly. Nah, not La La. No, nobody wants that.

Nobody wants you guys. Anyways, we're going to go through the categories. We're also just going to at the end to talk about anything that got missed. I want to talk about materialists, even though I don't think it's represented in any of the categories. For good reason, we'll talk about that. But, Anna, do you want to take us back through what are our categories and who are we voting betwixt? So do you want me to just name all the categories first? No, let's just go one at a time.

All by one, sure. Just a reminder, there are 17 categories with an honorable mentions, which we did not nominate anyone for honorable mentions in the nominations episode, but we will name our honorable mentions at the end of this episode. And we can come in because there are two that I think I need to add in for FYC for a couple of the categories. I didn't realize White Lotus happened this year

until the end of the categories last time. And so I just want to, I have two White Lotus nominations that are going to come up as we go through. Sure. And those can be vetoed.

And those can be vetoed. Everything that I say can be vetoed by anything, anything either of us say is immediately up for veto. So our first statue. Anything you've ever thought? Yeah.

No. Your whole life. I feel like that. And I can make it so that I never even had that thought. It's like Stalin when he kills people and then has them erased from all the pictures they were in. So, award one, one. All right, award one, category one, which is the best hair that looks windswept, but clearly was styled perfectly. Right.

And the nominees are Rose Byrne for if I had legs, I'd kick you. Julie Roberts for After the Hunt and Chase Infinity in one battle after another. What do we think? I like the Julia Roberts one because that feels like it's absolutely like in the spirit of the award and I like the Chase Infinity nomination because it's a literal take

on what the award could be of it being wind swept. Wind swept. And I'm in between now. I'm in between those two. Rose Byrne for me is out. I would say I agree with that because I do think sort of the Julia Roberts of it all is that her hair is honestly so

perfect in the film. in the film that even when she's going through it it looks great even when she's standing in the wind talking to Ayota Berry's character and sort of a very pivotal scene in the movie oh yeah there's a couple strands that are kind of flying right there

yeah and you're like perfect and it feels intentional those strands were perfectly casted and I feel like Julia Roberts in that film like the big new thing is Like, what if Julia Roberts looked like this, though? Like, what if she had, like, blonde hair?

Right. You've seen her, but like not like this, a.k.a. with really, really cool blonde hair. You've never seen Julia like this. A.k.a. with blonde hair. Or have you? Yeah. Or have we over the years? Do not Google Julia Roberts' blonde hair. Yeah.

What else has she been blonde in? I don't know. I'm just looking at a ton of photos of her with blonde hair. I don't know if any are specifically roles. Now, are they strong. Blonde or are they blonde or are they blonde? Most are strawberry. There's one here from, oh, this one, this is definitely a bottle. This is 95 and she's rocking the Diana right here.

Okay, but that was, but again, this is off. This is off. That's giving role. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so I would say between these, I think my vote will be for Julia Roberts, the Navy's icon. I think I would also vote for Julia. I would go chase infinity. Oh, upset for Chase Infinity.

It looks like Julia Roberts has taken home the prestige casting award for the best hair that looks wind-swept but clearly was styled perfectly for the film after the hunt. Anna, we should send these awards to their reps to their reps. Because, you know, we got this info. We can be like, hey, just sending this on to Julia, she just won an award for such a specific, yeah. Yeah. Get the I-Hart PR department. Okay. I mean,

that would be funny just to like have those emails with the I-Hart PR team. They're like, Hey, we want to send these to all their public to all their people. Absolutely not. So that's the whole award is best hair that looks wind-swept, but it was clearly styled. Yes.

And what is the award? We're reading along with them as they say the award. Yeah. Best hair that looks wind-swept, but it's clear. Yes. Yeah. What aren't you understanding? Okay, well, Julia, congratulations.

Do you even understand who else was in that category? Like, do you understand who else was not named that category? You know who you defeated. Yeah, and Chase Infinity. That's a fucking trio, okay? Yeah. Category two, two. Category two.

That one hot guy, hell yeah. Mm-hmm. The nominees include Dylan O'Brien and Twinless, Josh O'Connor in Knives Out, and Paul Rudd in friendship. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm going with my nominee All right.

Just because I feel of it I nominated him as if I were Tim Robinson in friendship. I was like, that guy's so hot. Hell yeah. He is pretty hot in that movie. The subway hair too

during the trip and he got that subway the salt and pepper on? Yeah. Oh, baby. I mean, I mean, taking one more look at Dylan O'Brien here. My bread,

let me see let me see you Dylan and this is in twin list where he plays two twins who come together and learn that they're both martial arts experts and fight Dennis Rodman no it's about

double impact sorry twin losing his other twin oh got it you're way off it's actually a really sad film my bad okay my bad and that's why it's so hot in it that's that's kind of why I'm hot for him cry hot baby boy cry for me you you blood

died anyway I feel creepy energy that's what you're into that's sort of what I'm going for man I mean I also I do want to say Josh O'Connell as I called him in the nominations episode Josh O'Connor I think is a great nominee even though you guys were like not fond of that nomination I will just say that I feel like we're I I just saw the Steven Spielberg. You called him Josh O'Connell. That's what we weren't fond of. Is that why I should have used his correct name?

So misnomer's not good? Son, Josh. Wait. Which version of him in twin-less do you think is the cuter one? Who are you get? Which twin are you giving it to? He lost his twin, so he's the only one. He's the surviving twin.

The one that's living. I think there's nothing more prestige than playing your own twin. Did he play, are there flashbacks to when the twin was around? Yes. Wow. And the other twin, get this, gay. The one he loses. So he's playing a straight twin and a gay twin.

Have you heard? Range, range. Range, exactly. Range Rover. Get him in the range rover. I'm impressed. I'm going with Paul Rudd. You know what?

Honestly, just for the fact that he, even when he loses his hair, He still maintains a sort of like a sort of curious sexuality here. I would also go with Paul Rudd. Stay curious. Congratulations, Paul Rudd. Holy shit. And the winner for that one hot guy, hell yeah, is Paul Rudd portraying Paul Rudd in the film friendship. In the film, Paul Rudd.

Category 3, 3. Category 3. Damn, those are some big ass hands. Your nominations are Josh O'Connor in Knives. out slash mastermind slash real life the rock in smashing machine and Omar Benson Miller

Is that his name? Did I write that right? Omar Benson Miller in sinners. His name could be wrong. So sorry. Yeah, Omar Benson Miller. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yes.

Okay, I got that right. Yep. It does, I mean, I just look at. I will just say there are multiple scenes in Knives Out where Josh O'Connor puts up his dukes as if to say,

damn look at these big ass hands like that that was you know every actor no actor is making a movement by accident they know what side their bread is buttered on and I think he recognized he's got some he's got some big

Hulk smashers yeah you know and for that reason I'm going with Josh O'Connor the rock was I think an easy answer the Omar one for me was low hanging fruit because I didn't I was just like I'm presuming I just looked at a picture of Josh O'Connor with his hands on his face. Yo, this guy's got some fucking pause on him. And why is he taking that picture, if not to be like,

like, yo, you know what's up? Look at these fucking hands, baby. Holy shit. For that shit, after seeing, after his publicist hit me with the four-year consideration tape, I came from Josh's hands. Yeah, it's like, and aka me Googling Josh O'Connor hands. Yeah, this is Josh O'Connor, I think. There's a lot of picture.

I'm just going to say, again, to my point of them being like, I don't know, like, so you're a bye. He's like, yeah, so I'm going to keep my hands right up here the whole time. They're going to be in frame at all times. You look at Josh O'Connor pictures. His hands are always where you can see him. Oh, yeah. As you guys might have known, I did go to SNL this past weekend where. Wow, wow, wow, wow.

Connor was the host. Wow, how did you know there? Who'd even know there? Who do I know there? Who do I know there? How'd you get in there? Just a little tiny man named Lorne Mikkels. Oh, my God!

It's really emphasizing how much she's left us in the dust. Oh, yeah, my new show gets me invited to hang out with Josh O'Connor. Maybe we can go to the desert? I don't know. No, but you know how like in the SNL monologues are always like, they're always like throwing their hands up to do the. monologue. Within seconds of this fool, throwing his hands up, me and my friend both looked at each

other and said, damn, he's got some big ass hands. Yeah. He was just doing the whole monologue, palming basketballs in both hands the whole time. And then he, in knives out, yes, he had, when he threw up his things to fight, I was like, they're bigger than his head. Yeah. Look at this other photo where he's contemplative, looking at his own hands. He's like, why did you give me such giant hands?

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Is this unanimous? I think, yes, it's Josh. Yeah, it's a unanimous. Congratulations, Joshua Connor. All right. Don't pick up your award.

Those are some big ass hands. The prestige casting award goes to Josh O'Connor in Knives Out slash the mastermind slash in his real life. You know, coming into this year, a lot of, there was a lot of buzz about who was going to get the damn, those are some big ass hands in 2025. And I thought he was just going to warn away with it. Yeah. You could say it's named after his big smash. hands. Yeah.

Yeah. Category four. You could. Many are saying, many are saying he made that movie as awards bait for this award. Damn, what a L. Humiliating. It is a bit humiliating. Got the safeties involved.

He wanted it too bad. Wait, is that, that's a safty movie, right? Smashing Machine. Yeah, that's one of them. Yeah, it's got that grainyness to it. You know, it's got that safty grain, as I like to call it. Okay. Category number four, a queen.

nominations are Rose Byrne and if I had legs I'd kick you Tiana Taylor in one battle after another Wumni Musaku Mosaku in sinners Kate Morrow

Kate Morrow Kate Morrow Ket Morrow Kmartin friendship A four NOM category I could also maybe put out

Walton Guggins' A girlfriend from White Lotus Amy Lou. Well, what you can do because it's too your fucking mouth

is throw her down into honorable mentions is maybe start your own FACTO award show where they give out bullshit awards last minute after the voting's happened. I'll add her to honorable mentions.

I think she's getting the honorable mention category. Man, I love those burn too. Anna, who's your vote? You know, I wasn't even thinking

about this before but I'm looking at Tiana Taylor. Mm. Mm. I think. I think it's a good. I'm looking at Tiana Taylor too.

I have my on my phone as well. I think I had damn near nominated her. Tiana Taylor has had such an arc as a person in the spotlight. I remember when she was on My Super Sweet 16. Yeah. And she had the wildest birthday party with I think Farel came. It was wild. Wait, was she famous before that?

Or she was like, She was just a person having a 16th birthday? Like, was the premise, like, we're doing celebrity, my super sweet 16? I mean, she had a single coming out, so she was, like, performing, but I didn't, I didn't know. I think he just had to be rich. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I just remember she had, maybe a grill or braces. And I just remember at that time, Farrell came to her 16th birthday party. And I was like, who the fuck?

How come this little girl got Farrell at her 16th birthday? And she's had this whole career. She, you know, last she's left. Johnny Shumpert, you know what I mean? She's doing her thing. Incredible house. If you've ever seen the inside of her house, Google it. It is. Every room. You're really living that celebrity life. Yeah.

If you've been to Tiana's home, you simply must. She had a reality show. Her daughter is like a really, really cutie pie. Is her daughter also doing like acting and shit? I think she's a little young for that, but she's definitely a star, if you will. Got it, got it, got it. Probably will one day because she's so cute. Yeah, she, is she nominated for anything else? I'm just trying to think.

Oh, wow. So I think what she gave it to her. A queen. The winner is Tiana Taylor. Tiana Taylor. Tiana Taylor. Come get your award, Tiana Taylor. You come by to Hollywood.

Yeah, yeah. Her performance in friendship and on Stradio Lab this year really made her pop for me. Made me say, okay, you cute. So Ivy Woke would be my pick. You know?

I feel a veto coming on. No, I feel like I could also give it to Ivy Woke because nothing. makes you look cut bangs on your big ass forehead. Yeah. Not that she has a big one, but I just think that is a cutie pie look. Yeah. It is really cutie pie for sure.

I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable. Detective Roger Golubski spent decades and Timmy. nominating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence.

This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Galuski, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths.

Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience.

You're going to push that line for the cause. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it.

The Brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way. to the brothers Ortiz on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and in the sixth category in the six category simple is a legend give this one to mark ruffalo in anything and the nominees are that's the whole guy category. I didn't know the full name of the category. I would have changed

something on my nominees. Well, no, that was the point. I remember when you, when we were nominating, we were like, what? And it's like, fucking whatever, dude. It's up to you. It's just funny. Mark Ruffalo and task, because you have to at least give one to Mark Ruffalo. Yeah, right, right. Yeah. George Clooney's eyebrows and Jay Kelly. Adam Sandler and J. Kelly. Oh, tough to go up against each other. Benicio del Toro in one battle after another. And leave Shreiber in Cot Stealing. Sorry, what was the category? Oh, it's, he's, I call it.

A legend, give it to Mark Ruffalo. Hmm. What are you guys thinking? I, well, you have another really specific category where I really love the troll nominee. And in this one, I feel like this could, this should go to Mark Ruffalo, just in the spirit of the Lord. Interesting.

In task. Because I show that once we got off, Mike, you said you didn't really enjoy that much. I thought it was, I thought it was fine. Yeah. I lost, I lost momentum. him. I lost more. I didn't say it was bad. I lost momentum. I said you didn't even like cast that much. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up.

I'm sorry. Jack is smoking. I would give this one to Benicio personally. I like the, I love the Delco accents and that whole thing. I could do it. We got to record. We got to record a post roll. Oh, yeah. We got to record a post roll. Yo, Anna. You guys, ads are due. We got to record a post roll.

Have you seen there? There's a, there's a comedian who's doing, like, if Miss Rachel was from Delco. Yes. Yeah. Video's so fucking good. Did you see the Philly ASMR? She's like, no. We're going to Rita's Wooter Ice.

So fucking good. By the way, Rita's Wudder Ice makes a cameo in Task. Oh, it has to. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The daughter doesn't work at the Wooder Ice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, let me get the, let me get the Black Cherry.

Yeah. I like how there's a little. Our love of Delco also, I think Mark Ruffalo is, I think it's an apt. Also, another example of, like, a character that you're like, how do you get this job? And that's why it makes him such a legend. Because the whole time, you're questioning if that man should even be there. And that's, that's acting. Yeah.

That is acting. Is he a better pick for if they're fed? No, that's the entire cast. Okay. But also, what's funny is, this man played the Hulk. Really well, too. You forget that. A big thing that I had to do this year was rewatch a lot of the Marvel films with my kids.

And his performance stands above and beyond. Him and Downey Jr. are just, like, out here fucking carrying those movies. There's a point in Tass where he's like, God, my back hurts. And he's sort of like, the way he walks in Tats. He is doing the thing. You're like, there is no way this man was the Hulk. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're like, oh, his hip, he's. monster in task is so bad. It disrupts everything inside me that's like, God, get a fucking foam roller, my dude. Yeah. Anything. It's a fucking therogon. What is going on with your body?

It pisses me off. Yeah, it's really rough. That's good act. And that's why he's such a legend, because I was so irritated watching that show. So we're not going Benicio for a legend. Because you're like, do a fucking stretch. Oh, dude.

It's easy to give it to Benicio. Yeah. Too easy. All right. All right. A legend. Give this one to Mark Ruffalo. The winner is

Mark Ruffalo in task Congratulations Come pick up your award It was as if the I'm fucking outraged Yeah crazy Category 7 Category 7 is

If they're a fed If they're a fed Then anyone can be a fed Apparently The nominations include Entire cast of TAS That Cop from Weapons Mm-hmm

The Christmas Adventures Club. I don't even know what that means. Liam Neeson in Naked Gun. Yeah. There's one scene in the naked gun that had me cackling when I was watching it on an airplane. And I can't repeat it because it's actually kind of offensive.

But it includes them like using the R word so fucking casual. So much. It's like, okay. Brian called the copen weapons, Alden, Thirden, Rike. Is that really his name?

His name is Third Enrique? No, no. Last name. Eldenreich, I think. Oh. Third and Reich. Erin Reich. Errin Reich.

Alder and Aaron Reich. Okay, I don't even know who that is. The cop and weapons. Do you see weapons? I have not. Oh, okay. Both of us. This makes a lot of sense.

You're a good company, Anna. The lack of weapons love. I'm getting out here. You had a vote, too. Yeah, girl, why you act like you're not here? I made the nomination, but the lack of fucking energy I'm getting back from you guys on

you said the cop from weapons whatever that means there's a cop and weapons whatever that means you did not give me the actor's name so I had no real calm Alden Aramrike you know this guy he's Han fucking solo

I like the task one too because I like the cast of task as if anyone can be a fed I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with him because that whole like anti-Vax documentary he's narrating Oh, no. What? Is he? Yeah. Yeah. He's in a film that, like, questions the legitimacy of vaccines and, like, RFK Jr. has, like, an interview in it. His reps have said he is absolutely, like, not anti-vaxed. He's just asking questions. Yeah. And it's, it's weird because the Guardian said in the documentary viewed by the Guardian, the narration read by Neeson states that those on the pro vaccine side have demanded, quote, unconditional submission to our public institutions and, quote, science has become dangerous.

politicized. I'm like, sure, maybe in a broad sense, you could kind of thread that needle, maybe, but come on, baby, this is an anti-vax documentary with RFK Jr. What did you think it was going to be? Wow, someone needed a check. Yeah, I just, that's what I did while in between. I was like, let me just check because I know he was in the, that's not a good headline. That's tough. All right. Well, if they're a Fed, then anyone can be a Fed, apparently. The winners are the entire task of, wait, the entire task. The entire task. Yes, that was a veto approval. I just decided to give it to them because the entire show I was going, what the fuck?

I could be a cop. You don't even need to know how to do anything. Anna, you absolutely could. That's true. Have you not realized? Have you seen who they're putting out there? Have you seen the team they're rolling out the whole time?

I'm like, what does it take? You don't do shit to be a fed. There's only one who's just like a good marksman and then you're like, and she can't even smell. She can't even smell. Shout out to the cast of the cask of Amantilado. The cask of the gas? Yeah. You done it again.

You've done it again. Season two, here we come. Most of you are dead. Category eight, hey, hey, hey. Category A is, why are you screaming?

Slugs could be best picture for me. Slugs could be best picture. Slugs. fucking slugs just a bunch of slugs I've never felt more from such an absurd like absurdish comedy thing it was literally like a clip yeah also best acting to the woman

casting awards. Why are you screaming? The award goes to Connor O'Malley in friendship. Honor, you've come a long way, sir, since you were on Vine, harassing finance bros and convertibles on your bike in Manhattan. God. Not that far. Yeah. Not that far. And that's why we love you. Yeah. Help me, please. Deribos. Everyone, he called him Deribos. My friends and I still called Doritos Deribos because he was calling him Deribos in his Vine video. So, yeah, shout out. So, yeah. So, yeah. Bos.

Yeah. All right. Next category. I've lost count. Nine. Number nine. Nine. Did not know you could sing.

And the nominees are Amanda Seafreed in the Testament of Anne Lee. I just wrote Miles and Sinners. What's that after your name? Miles Caden and Sinners. The Fellows Group in Friendship. Oh, wow. I'm going to go with just off. the strength of how quickly

you texted us after you saw the Amanda Seafreed movie I feel like she must really be putting it out there and that is not somebody that I would have thought would be a good singer. So I'm going to go with Amanda Siegfried. She says Sigfried.

Anna, get his ass. Um, actually, um, can I have an um actually? Oh, yes you may. I learned recently that it is Seifred. Cifred. Cifred.

Oh, my God, this is so humiliating. So I'm going back to Sigfried. Wait, is she in Mamma Mia? Mm-hmm. So we should have known she could sing. You animal, thug. I mean, yeah, but I forgot. Yeah.

All right, I take away my vote. I thought everybody was lip-sinking at Mamma Mia. They was all singing? No, they're on. I honestly don't know. That wasn't Merrill Street belting that shit out like that? There's no way. Was they lip-syncing?

But I forgot she was in that movie and that she's saying in that movie, maybe. Seifred? You're still on there. Siegfried and Roy? Zygfried and Roy. I'm going with Miles from Sinners. I think like that one in terms of like in earnestly,

I was like that was one of the most, that was like one of the more amazing sort of musical moments in film this year. So I would I would give it to that because I was true, like to the point of what your award is, Anna, of being, oh, you can sing. It's not that I didn't believe it, but hearing the voice, it woke something up in me. And I was like, oh, shit. And that was my favorite moment in film this year was that scene in Sinners.

So I heartily second that. Oh, Brian says, Mamma Mia does have a cast recording. Okay. And then for laughs, the fellas, but I'm going to go with Miles from Sinners, Sammy. All right. Well, did not know you could sing. The award goes to Fellas Group in French. All right.

Wow. Vito power used for the fellow group of credit. Boy, you should know. Boy, you should know that. The sweetness of the verse like his voice.

It's like there, I could see them almost like pulling back the hair behind their ear as they sang to each other like, oh boy you should know. I mean, it's just to do my boo by Ghost Town DJs as like the song,

these bunch of like old white guy. I mean, I think there's one like black man, but like, There's one black dude. That crew to be like, we love ghost town D-Chays. That's just so funny. It's really the, oh, thank God.

You know what? It's because the black guy kicks it up and he just really sets the stage. You're right. Boy, you should know that. That's a great scene. That is good. And then he immediately, that's like the turning point. That's where he like doesn't, it's like too beautiful.

He doesn't know what to do with himself and he freaks out. For him, he's like, Like, I've never been a part. It's because the whole time Tim Robinson is like, what the fuck is this a cult? What the fuck are they doing, bro? Wait, they really, this is beautiful. You got like John Glazer in there, like. Yeah.

The whole crew of maniacs. Harmon Christopher. Seeing Tim Robinson's face slowly, like, soften as he seems like, oh, this is beautiful. Friendship. Oh, man. All right. So what award goes to? Category number 10.

Oh, all right. Cass of Friends have come to them. David, that's why we went on that tangent. Category, time, time, time. And now your Halloween costume for most millennial men. Nominees are Leonardo DiCaprio

in one battle after another. Venetio del Toro in one battle after another. Smokestack in sinners. And then just K-pop demon hunters. I'm just sorry, every child I saw at the elementary school, at the daycare, I'm picking up my kid. Everybody was on some K-pop demon hunter shit.

Yeah. But they're not millennials, actually, as I described that out loud, I'm describing Gen Alpha. So I'm going to go with my original one because this Halloween, I did see it everywhere, which was Leonardo DiCaprio from one battle after another. Yeah, I think that's the pick. I think for this age group, and it is an indelible performance. It's so such a low energy costume to put together too. And you always hear some guy being like, it's perfect because then I just get to wear a roll bow. Yeah, it's like, dude, I already have all that shit.

yeah oh cool yeah his sunglasses really doing some great sunglasses work in that film sounds like so excessive like just put on some ray bands like why are you got some wraparounds like you just had your eyes dilated i know right you just got the eye surgery you get your pupils dilated yeah you can't see bright light okay oh yeah Brian did put in the chat how do we is there any way we can get the Mexican whistling I think that he was honorable mention, yeah. That's an honorable mention. Okay, because that should be an award, too.

Best Mexican whistling. It was just one of those things where, like, if, like, for all the people who are Mexican who saw that, it was like, they were like, bro, he fucking killed that. And so there has to be like a, you're invited to the cookout based on that performance type of award. Maybe for next year, I may, I may propose that. But anyway. Yeah.

Best Mexican whistling by a non-Mexican. The whole theater was impressed down here. That's so funny. Oh, oh, wait, wait, Brian, were they really going like, oh, okay. You just, you hear a slow clap. So, so hold on, Brian, full of disclosure, Brian does live in Mexico. So this is, this is him, yeah, yeah. Me and Tambo were like, we heard that whistle.

We were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, and I looked behind me. And it was just like 20 or 30, like, all right, he did his fucking research. They just started slow clapping. They're like, like, there were some, like, they were raised eyebrows in the theater. Like, oh. Yeah. It was flawless. It was flawless. Flawless. Yeah. Victory by Leonardo DiCaprio finally gets one. By manna? Do we know? Were we giving it up to?

And now your Halloween costume for most millennial men, the winner is Leonardo DiCaprio in one battle. Leonardo DiCaprio, come pick up your award, man. In a robe. Congratulations, man. He finally won something. And he didn't even have to, like, do an accent, really. Yeah. And it had nothing to do with his acting either. It was like, whoever did, whoever did. wardrobe on that film you did it oh man all right we should take one more break and we'll come back to close it out here are honorable mentions uh and of course you know the the final award look people need to recognize um basically more prestigious than any award uh we'll be right back

But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help is the one you're the most afraid of? This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you. I got you. I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends. Untouchable. Roger Golubski spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence. This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down.

I told Roger Golubski, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, Untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us.

It's the last 40 minutes of the Oscars. It's the last 40.

This is when the stars come out and shine their brightest. What was the last one? Some fucking costume one. I don't know. I don't know, man. Nobody cares. Shut the fuck up. There's always costume that gets rejected.

All right. Category 11. Top Scars guard. The nominees are Bill in Dead Man's Wire. Stellan in Andor and Peter in Sarsgard. Peter Sarzgard. That's right. I don't think he was in anything.

Scars guard. Oh, man, like I said... But you had to look it up, and that makes him a nominee for Top Scarsgaard. I know this will get voted. I don't know this will be vetoed, but like I said, in the spirit of a troll vote, Jack nominating Peter Sarsgaard as Top Scarsguard. Maybe I'll just say Jack, well done. Thank you, thank you.

That's my nominee. That's my pick. I'm sorry, are you voting for Jack? What's the point? Yeah, I think maybe what I mean to say? is rather than to sully the good name of this award show and go for the troll thing, I'll just give Jack his flowers for Peter Sarzgard as top Scarsguard. I have not seen what Alex was in, but I did see Andor and I like Stelan. And I did see that interview that they did

recently. He was like, I used to wash your penis every day. Have you seen that thing? Their relationship is so funny, dude. You watched his penis every day? Or he was just like, I used to wash his penis. Since it's just like very dad. Chill out, man. Yeah. So, Stalin for me, but what am I going to do? Peter for me?

Top Scarsguard. The award goes to Bill. Okay. In Dead Man's Wire. What is that? What is it about? It's a new Gus Man Sant movie. It's based on real events.

You should watch it. It's so good. Bill Scarsguard takes, the character he plays is phenomenal. and he's doing like a thick southern midwestern sort of accent you can't even hear sweden in him bill who was in pennywise he's in pennywise he was in uh what's the barbarian um he's like the misdirect and barbarian i feel like yeah um asferatu is bill scars guard the bass player for penny wise snarfs bar he wasn't he wasn't he was in nosferatu he played the titular role Nostra. Oh, yeah. He's

fucking iconic, man. He is like everything he's in. He's so good. He already won the award. Yeah. No, he is so good in fucking everything. It's like he's undeniable. Actually, I didn't know what the fuck. Yeah, I'm going to that too.

So who won? When you see Dead Man's Wire, you're going to call me. You're not even going to text me. You're going to pick up your phone or you're going to hit dial. I'm just going to run through your bedroom wall. I made a horrible mistake on it. He's so good in it. I'm ashamed of myself. And also, Gus Van San, good for you coming back, making a great film.

All right. Category 12. Wait. Are you playing yourself? And the nominees are George Clooney and Jay Kelly, the cat in Cots Stealing, Benicio del Toro in one battle after another. And I have. I'm not done yet. Connor O'Malley in friendship and supporting cast of the chair company.

I do have one to add here You cannot add it That's a menschie But you can say it Well I'm gonna tell you what my honorable mention is gonna be And that's Patrick Fortunegger in White Lotus Oh good motherfucker Like that was the central quote

People came away and were like He's either good or that is exactly who that motherfucker is That's like how I feel about Forrest Whitaker's daughter being in I love L.A. too She's for sure playing herself Yeah I was like I know this type of person in LA 100% where she goes in that meeting

and then like yeah so I dated him and then he graduated college he was like married at the time everything she was everything she says in that show is so fucked up anyways that's an honorable menschie but

I gotta I gotta go the supporting cast of the chair company particularly the guy works of the shirt store and says he knows a guy who's at his limit. Just every, that was the question that was on my mind every time one of those people were on,

just like, who are these people? There's like something uncanny about like watching them and they each feel so lived in. You're like, I feel like you could have a movie with each of these people. But that would be my vote. Yeah, it's very, I mean, yeah, like to Brian's point, like it's all non-actors to give,

you that like surreal like it makes it surreal when tim robinson is like the straight character a lot of the times and you have these like wacky bad actors acting their fucking hearts out though yeah is the straight character through that whole thing yeah yeah which is wild too to be like in this tim robinson show he's the straight man to everything yeah uh and even episode where they go to the bar to find that like the man who is in the photos that episode goes so crazy yeah yeah where the guys got the dent in his head. It takes off in a way that you're just like Yeah.

The actor who's like, I've been on cocaine in every one of those photos. What? Everything about it. Exuberantly and openly on cocaine, but then always like constantly crashing. Everything, yeah, there's so many, too many to mention, but so many.

Paying with like fake money or something. Yeah. He paid with. Monopoly money. Yeah, I think there's so much going on. Okay. The winner is? Wait, Miles, did you vote?

Oh, shit. I mean, I have to be real. All of the non-actor people who are acting in the chair company, I think, really made that show what it was. So my vote is for the chair company. All right. Secondary cast. Wait. Are you playing yourself?

And the winner is the supporting cast of the chair company. Oh, wow. Oh, I thought you were going to give it to. George Clooney because you felt sorry for him because how pathetic that character was I was honestly probably more likely to give it to the cat and caught stealing

because that's the most likely scenario where that cat was just playing himself. That cat was a tour to force but yeah almost definitely just playing itself. That cat was straight up at a bar in Mexico at the end of the movie. I'm sorry. Does he have a plane ticket?

How did he get down there? One thing that we forget, right, is that there's that Connor O'Malley also gets in this because of he's voicing pepperoni and lice the vulgar podcast that might say he's bringing home all the hardware I know and also one person we really I really want to call out from that cast is Jim Downey Jim Downey is so good in that

the bubbles necklace just every the wheelchair well the doctor says it's up to me when to get out of it. How long are you in there really into like accessibility all of a sudden? Yeah so funny when they're doing the meeting at the end and he immediately throws him under the bus.

Oh, man. I hope this episode is listenable to people who haven't seen the chair company. Hey, this, like I said, this episode is mostly about the chair company. Category 13. Category 13 is, okay, body.

And then on these are Michael B. Jordan and sinners. Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz and caught stealing. Sean Penn in one battle after another. And the body that got crushed in final destination. I will say this is another one that Walton Goggins in both White Lotus and as Uncle Baby Billy when he's water skiing.

I was like, Jesus Christ, man. Why are he so shredded? That's so weird. You can also give it to him in that first scene of righteous gemstones where he's full frontal. Yeah, full frontal. For like the most of the episode, you're like, bro, put it away. That's definitely honorable mention for sure. Yeah.

I would go my vote would be Sean Penn in one battle after another his body is so like just weird and like unforgettable but like also shredded like it's just like oh man that vein deserves its own best supporting honor Jack I just saw a thumbnail of what you're talking about from Final Destination oh yeah it's pretty fucked up oh my trash compactor I mean because he said I've never seen a body do that can you show yeah I'll just say because I'm just saying because I'm just looking at YouTube. I just say a crush scene. No. Yeah. Jack. That's not appropriate. It's not good. You're sick. And my son saw it happen over my shoulder and is like, whoa.

I was watching it on a plane. I know. I like how you always have, like you said, USA, the children should be behind the adults. So in that sense. So I'm in first class. And they come up and they're like, Daddy. They're not giving me water. all right hold on

come look at this shit since you're here look at this shit since you're here look at this fucking human being get crushed in a trash wow that shit's fucked dude good job good job

I'm sorry okay you know what okay body and the winner is Sean Penn in one battle after another just the scene of him walking after you think he dies in the car accident his physicality is so crazy his body Yes.

So strange. Also, another shout out to that is he clearly was filming that movie when he did his interview in the Charlie Sheen documentary. And so it's kind of a little. Oh, because you have the same hair? Yeah, same hair. Like, he just looks so grisly. He's like smoking the rest the whole time. And you're like, huh.

It's so funny that like when you think of that guy's guru, I'm like, I first knew you as Jeff Spicoli. Yeah. Then you became like. And then I've never really like been big, like, Spacoli. and this are like the two performances that I've just been like holy shit

but like other stuff he's not like my favorite actor in the world but no this really when I heard that it was like and Sean Penn gives like a crazy performance

actually in liquor he was really funny in liquor of pizza too as that like he shows up for one scene and it's just crazy all right all right

congratulations to Sean Penn category was this oh you're just gonna show up 14 14 14 14 Oh, you're just going to show up and make me cry? And the nominees are, and the nominees are Brendan Frazier in Rental Family. Michael B. Jordan, getting bit by the vampire in sinners. Moulton Gagons at the end of White Lotus.

Okay, now I haven't seen Rental Family. So tell me what you're feeling when you saw his performance in Rental Family. Well, got you. So just for context, Rental Family is he is an at like a commercial actor in Japan. And he basically gets a job being like someone that like, I guess this is something in Japanese culture. I don't know, Miles, you can speak on it. Where you can like rent. Why'd you say that dismissively?

Because it doesn't actually feel real. Why'd you make a jack off hand motion while you said that? I would never do that. Maybe you can speak to it, Miles. I don't know if it's like a real thing or not. But where you can like rent people to be like family members for certain. scenarios and stuff like that. I don't know.

It's very odd. I mean, okay, okay. And so he's like the token white guy that they like rent out. Oh, I mean, they do rent white people. They rent him. Yes. Got it. Okay.

But he's rented as like this girl's father, but she doesn't know her real dad, but the mom needs a dad figure to get her into like this fancy school. But the girl doesn't really realize that it's not her father. And he plays it beautifully. Damn. Because he does grow bonded with this girl. playing her father but she doesn't know he says no i mean it's a it's a thing it's like it's only been happy it's not like you just see brandon fraser like thriving and like being back on the big

screen and you're like uh oh so it's it was like a holistic kind of thing for you yeah and you're like the mummy hasn't been the same without you that's made you're really just you're really just crying that he's not in the mummy anymore they like recast you with the mummy it doesn't makes sense. The plot is full of holes. Does it make sense? I love Brandon Fraser. I don't feel like his big comeback movie being the whale, like, I don't know. Like I want more for him. And so I'm glad to hear he's out there making people cry. I'm going to give it to Brendan Fraser. You know, I loved Airheads, one of the great films of all time. That's true. With Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi. Brendan Fraser.

Or, yeah, you know what? I haven't even seen it, but I will say I earnestly was moved when I watched smoke or stack slowly drift to the other side after being hit by Haley's Stentville. I don't know why. That was just the weird.

I think that's the only reason I was like, bro, I don't give a fuck about somebody getting bit in a vampire movie. But I think it was just also because of the... What if it's like a Ryan Coogler production? It's a Ryan Coogh thing. It's like Black Death. There's like this brother holding the other brother. It's just like there was, I think there was a lot in it.

outside of just a vampire bite. This is a hard one for me because, like, I do cry in movies, but I immediately clamp it down so I can't remember it at all. I don't let it in, you know? And so I don't remember which parts it is that I cried at.

Brave of you to admit that. Yeah, yeah. Catherine, your book. Oh. That's, you know what? There's a clip right there, Catherine. I will cry in movies. I don't remember it because I black.

out because of how humiliated I am. Just let it out, baby. Let it out. But you know what? I'll get bullied into this. Brendan Fraser. Brandon Fraser. No,

no, he just kept telling us. He's like, I want to cry. You know what, Anna, you know, we should, I think what we, he looks like he's in need right now

and I think there's only one way to address this. Boy, you should know that. not you not now all right okay so the winner of oh you're just going to show up and make me cry is brendan fraser in rental family come get your word brenan hasn't been the same without you remember that time you won an oscar and then you and uh what was that actor's name from indiana jones who came and they like hugged each other because they knew each other from insino man holly shore no the other one he was in Everything, everywhere all at once.

Kehoe Kuan. Or Jonathan Kekwon. His real, yeah, Jonathan Kewan. Yes. Jonathan Kewan. Oh, my God. I can't believe. I forgot his name.

That's really embarrassing. Come get your award, Brendan. B. Fraser. Reindeer is sweeping right now. Golly. All right. Category 15. Category 15.

I bet they regret casting you because you just stole this scene. Oh, yeah. The nominees are. Michael Stilberg. Stirlberg in After the Hunt. Bad Bunny in Happy Gilmore too Bad Bunny in Cot Stealing Leave and DeNofrio

In Cot Stealing Harris Dickinson in Urchin That's like a serious nomination the last one And Harris Dickinson Someone will probably get nominated Who regrets casting himself Because he was the director of the movie How do you know that?

How do I know that he was the director of the movie? No, how do you know he regrets? Are you just saying that? No, because the premise of the award is that they regret casting you because you stole the show. Got it. You're right. And then he has to be like, fuck, I'm too good in this. How do you know that? I got myself.

Who did you talk to? How do you know Bill's the best scars guard? How do you know? I don't know. You would like read somewhere that he had regret casting himself. No, no, no, no. No, never. Wow.

He regrets it because he was the director. That's how fucking. good he was. That's how good he was that he lost me. I haven't seen Urchin, but I do want to give him his flowers because I think he's one of our best young actors. If you go see Urchin, it's so good. It's about like basically a man who's like a drug addict and homeless and living on the street. And I have never in my life like seen a film that does it so perfectly well that even though he's like acting a fool and like doing stuff he shouldn't be doing this character, which. isn't Harris Dickinson, but like you are on his side the whole time.

And it's really beautifully done. And Harris Dickinson also is like a character who also lives on the street and it's a drug addict and they get into some shit together. And like, it's just really, it's really beautifully done. I really recommend it. It'll tug at your heartstrings. And that's, yeah. And that's that. And that's all I have to say about that.

The thing that I ride for in this category, though, is Leiv and, uh, Vincent Donofrio in caught stealing. I can't. As the, like, what are their character's names? They're like, I forget. They're Hasidic hitmen who are like the, the scariest people in the underworld. But they just like walk around and acidic clothes. And, uh, and they're like kind of just a good hang.

Right. Well, yeah. Shmully Drucker. Yeah. That's what, that's Vincent Dinafrio. And, uh, leave is Leipa Drucker. But Schmoli as a. name you're like okay guys stop yeah it seems like it's going to be such a bad idea and then

they absolutely fucking kill it you're full on mobsters yeah but they love their bubby they do love their puppy there is a story from in new from new york in like 2021 where a hit man dressed up as a Hasidic guy to do a hit and then like kind of like take the costume off to like fade into the crowd but he was got smart for me I think this is another one where like personally I'll just ride for my pick, which was Benito, Bad Bundy, and Happy Gilmore, too. I said Bad Bundy. You heard it.

Isn't that his name? But yeah, I think that was, for me, I was just like, I've seen you do funny shit, but doing it the whole time. And I was like, okay, you're giving me a little bit of a laugh. I'm going to go to Bad Bunny. Yeah, I have to say, Bad Bunny really does steal Happy Gilmore in a way that you're like, Adam who? You're kind of off Happy Gilmore as a character and Happy Gilmore, too.

You're like, I don't know, bro. this like the whole plot is a little stay retired yeah i'm like you killed your wife on accident yeah really you know you should be in jail the bad buddy redeems it more of the caddy did you see happy go more too no i didn't see it yeah it's it's definitely like now anna's oh you didn't see weapons oh you didn't see happy go more too oh okay uh but that is one i think for me pleasant surprise But anyway, Anna, the winner is? This is going to be a veto one, but I bet they regret casting you because you just stole this scene.

And the winner is Michael Stilberg in After the Hunt. Because let me tell you, please watch this movie and only watch it for Michael Stilberg. This motherfucker is causing so many problems. Really? And he's barely in it. And most of the time, I'm wondering, what is he doing? It's a smoochie. He's like so messy in it and he's not involved at all.

Oh, interesting. He's just cooking every meal for Julie Roberts because he plays her husband. He's had enough of I-O. And he's just not. I know a guy who's at his limit. But he's also like the type of like husband who's like kind of like annoyed by the choices you're making. But he's like acting out because of it. So he's like blasting like classical music.

But then also like still, you know, trying to take care of you. I don't know. He's really funny in it. And he's always. Did you see anatomy of a fall? like the guy who's like passive aggressively blasting. Yeah, he's like blasting the like

steel drum version of the 50 cents. Yeah. No, you can't get a dollar out of me. Yeah, whatever. It's like, I have that on a playlist

on like one of my Spotify playlist and it's every time it comes on, I'm like, I mean, that steel band, they do everything. I mean, there's one of it.

She definitely killed him though, right? I don't think so. Who knows? I don't know. Stolbarg. It's good, it's good for Stolbarg to get.

an award you know he was uh in cohen brothers a serious man uh lincoln that's the thing is like he he's so unserious in this yeah right right i think i think that's what he was in a rival but you know what benito really almost won because like he really did steal happy gilmore and caught stealing honestly yeah yeah he's really good in both look it's your look it's your world we're just living in it so the winner is so much oh god what i mean i think he was great because I remember when he was Arnold Roth on Boardwalk Empire and he like his performance

of that character was like this guy is fucking bone chilling like with just how his delivery is and then seeing him do other things like bone chillers. All right so here we go. She already gave that one out. Yep, that was a veto pick. So Michael

Parker Posey. Yeah, I think we're going to give. I will give an honorable Menchie to Uncle Baby Billy, though, because that was a thing when it had been a little time between righteous gemstone seasons. And when I saw, when we got Uncle Baby Billy back, I was like, thank God, man. And this time he's on cocaine. So much cocaine and an autort. That scene with him and, what's his name, Sam Rockwell?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's just talking about it. And then I became, like, his expression just like, huh, huh, like trying to not judge his friend, but at the same time having no understanding of what he's talking. about? No, no. So, Parker. Parker, congratulations. I haven't been the same since you left my life and now you're back in it and cooking.

I can feel whole again. Is Parker Posey in White Lotus? Great to have you back, Parker. Was she really gone for that long or just I haven't really checked in on her? I just haven't seen her in anything in a long time. All right. Category 17. 17.

Final category. We're here. Look, people need to recognize. And the nominee. are. Mike Berenholtz in the studio. Anthony Mackie in the studio.

Stephen Graham in adolescence. The Subway Sandwich Shop in Friendship. Orlando Bloom and Deep Cover and Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lopez. Yikes. Uh-oh.

Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lawrence and Die My Love. Jennifer Lopez. That's fun. It was way off. Yeah. Oh, man. I mean, I put Ike Barronholz late because I had just remembered that I had watched the studio.

But, however, it felt like one of those things for people who weren't aware how funny Ike Barronholz could be that when they saw it, they're like, oh, I think I was pretty fucking good. That guy was fucking great. I remember the first time he showed up in the Mindy Project. Did you guys watch The Mindy Project? And just being like, this dude is the funniest part of this show. Yeah. And then, yeah, like, he's been good. in most things, but he really,

the studio, he's really cooking. Yeah. I'm giving it to the Subway to sandwich shop. That was making a mockery of your awards. Welcome back. That drug dealer kid, too. Unbelievable. The drug dealer kid is so good, man. More prestige guys. Just unflappable.

He's like, no, dude, you just lick it. You lick it. The toad is mysterious. Oh, oh, producer Catherine, big fan of Ike since I. I.O. Chicago. See? So you probably recognized back then, Catherine. All right, well, I said mine. I'm like, I think.

I'm like, he's Subway, Anna. But you're deciding voting. I mean, I just thought Anthony Mackey in the suit. I just think everyone in the studio is so good. Like, everyone in the studio really fucking brings it. Yeah. Even like Seth Rogan just, I don't know if you guys notice this, but the physical, he like brought back the classic, like,

Pineapple Express physical comedy of like what he would do in his early comedy like stoner films where in every single episode of the studio he takes a spill that's so insane

every episode if you go back and watch in almost every single episode he falls and doing something that he doesn't really need to be doing. Right, right, right.

Oh man. Yeah, Mackey though too. That was a nice that was a nice break departure from seeing him all this Marvel stuff and then have him be Like, a little more joke

Crabbits being on shrooms. Oh, the Shroom trip was good, yep. What's her name from Schitts Creek? Catherine. Catherine. Haan. Catherine Hahn.

No, well, Catherine Hawn as well, being like really terrible LA like publicists. All Guccied out, down to the socks. No,

Catherine O'Hara. Oh, yeah, who played Patty. Yeah, yeah, just a fucking just the worst.

Even like, what's his name? From, I don't like Cameron. anyone's name. I'm such a mess. From Malcolm in the middle. He had a big show later on.

I think Cranston. No, Cranston. The head of the studio. This has devolved it to be talking to my parents on TV. This is his name. The guy from,

Cheers. No, Breaking Bad. Frankie Munis. I can't remember Breaking Bad, so I said, Malcolm. That's great.

He had a big show later on. You mean breaking bad? I don't remember what it was called. but he really cut his teeth and Malcolm in the middle really did you really did you know this is a tough one and

so you said Ike I said Anthony and Jack said the subway sandwich sandwich shop yeah one of my favorite favorite acts of prestige casting this year you know I'm gonna give Brian and Catherine sort of like wild card votes on this one

what would you guys say Ike Barrenholz Brian Cranston And then the Subway Sandwich Shop and Friendship I mean, you got my vote I don't know the Subway Sandwich Shop So I'm going to have to say Ike Berenholtz Oh, okay

Brian, Brian's got Ryan's in on Subway Ryan's got Subway Wait, that's tough Oh wait, his dad was the judge, right, in jury duty His dad was the judge in jury duty Yeah, yeah, yeah You know what fuck it, let's give it to Ike

All right There it is look people need to recognize and the winner is Ike Berenholtz in the studio wow it's just gorgeous ceremony

let me just put it out there we'll come to you we know where you live saying boo this shit's rigged in the chat I will just say okay it's not rigged if you know about to play Elon Musk

he's about to pull bring he's going to have other chances that are hardware in his career that subway sandwich shop oh my god is something with the subway sandwich Okay. Subway is not going to get nominated for much more.

I mean, maybe another couple. Their bread's not real. So you're saying I'm but a humble country lawyer. That's right. Where else can I get some shine here? I mean, I fucking,

that scene is wild, but it's a scene. So it's hard to be died. That's right. I go, I am very scene based. I will say Subway was cast for that scene. Yes.

But what I have, you know what I would have probably liked more him that maybe in the Subway? Cheesecake Factory. If he went into a cheesecake factory? Yeah, his trip wasn't a cheesecake factory. That would be fine. That would be a good trip.

He did fine. But Subway isn't a good thing? Subway is not good enough. Subway is not good enough. I'm just saying Cheesecake Factory is prestige and Subway is not. Yeah. Wait, is that what's his name? My honorable, we got to get out of here because we have to record our fourth episode of the day

and a half hour. I do just want to say my honorable mention was for the best scenes of the year, the subway scene, as I said, made... It's not a category, but go ahead. It's, I'm just putting it out there as an honorable mention. That's my honorable mention scene. Everyone else, I have a few honorable mentions. I would say Arden, Marine, and Sean Michael Scott playing a couple in righteous gemstones.

Wonderful. Yeah. Amy Lou Wood, White Lotus, Sam Rockwell, White Lotus. Carrie Coon, White Lotus. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Some honorable mentions. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

My honorable mentions definitely has to go to just Uncle Baby Billy for sure. The whole Tim. Lifetime Achievement Award. Yeah, he does get the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Teenges arc this season was so fucking unbelievable and so coaked out. Like in his way, like, I'll fucking do it. I love that. Yeah, he's playing Teen just. I'm playing a Teen, Jesus. And like I said, I forgot that the studio was even a thing this year.

So those are just my honorable mentions, but I think we've spoken about it. I just think there were some really great scenes this year. I thought the snowman scene and naked gun was really good. I thought the subway scene and friendship was really good. How many times are you going to bring up the subway scene? I really liked the scene in materialists where we find out the truth about Pedro Pascal's history. And then he about his legs, I won't say anymore than that. The White Lotus, Sam Rockwell scene was a showstopper.

but the best scene of the year in movies was the music scene in sinners and just reached incredibly high highs with the technology of cinema. Hats off to that scene. That was probably my favorite movie moment in a long time. All right. Well, that's been prestige casting. That's been prestige casting 2025. I can't wait to see what the year of 2026 brings.

We'll have new categories and new nominations. And honestly, apparently Jack's going to keep talking about that subway scene. I'm just saying it was a subway. If you actually count that what the, how long that moment is when he enters the subway, it's one minute. It's one minute, it's a one minute, like it's just a one minute interaction at a subway, but it is so funny. The deleted scene was the garage with Tim and Connor O'Malley. Yeah, yeah. You go watch the extended scene of that.

It's so funny. They fight so much, but then they round around to become friends. Yeah, they're like buddies by the ads. Then they start fighting again. Yeah. It's really funny, the emotional roller coaster they go on. Well, what a time. What a year. What a time, guys.

We really did it. Shout out to who do you think is going to win best picture, guys? Oh, I don't have a good clue. It's got to be one battle, right? I think one battle because it's like literal enough for the moment. Or they might give it to like Hamnet or some bullshit. Hamnet. You want to cry a little?

We'll see what the old people at the Hollywood Forum press decide in the Golden Globes and then how that affects things. Who did they give it to last? year? Anora? Oh, that's... Wait, that was last year? Yeah.

Yeah, that was last year. Yikes. I know. Well, talking about... The testament of Anne Lee is made by Brady Corbett and his wife, or partner, excuse me, and I don't...

And let me just tell you, it's bring in like that brutalist cinematic energy. You never know. Okay. Oh, yeah. The maker of brutalist made the one that locked up the award for Amanda the ciphered.

Hey, there we go. Nailed it. She deserves it. If you guys have a chance to see the Testament of Anley, I cannot stress enough how good it is. Well, it's not out yet, right? It comes out Christmas Day. That was you flexing on all of us.

You guys need, your homework is to see this movie that I got to see it a screener. I don't know. It might be out. This is around that time. So guys, go see that movie. So sorry.

It looks like it's not even fair because I couldn't even go see it. I don't even know she was good at singing. It's about the shakers. And I know at first you're going to be like, oh, the shakers, boring. They're the shaking quakers. It's really, really well. Shaking that ass?

Is that why they got that name? You guys will be blown away. The choreography, the singing. They do it justice in a way that you're going to be like, mamma me. Is it a musical? Or no, it inherently has musical scenes for like their worship praise scenes. It is a musical in its own way. I see.

I'll say that. Okay. Oh, Catherine's all saying so weird and so good. Y-E-S. Yes. Okay. All right. I like that you spelled out the one.
