Oh, hello there everybody. This is Harlan Williams, your host from the Harland Highway podcast, and guess what? Today is not a Harland Highway episode. This is a bonus podcast that I want to turn you guys onto, and it's either in your wheelhouse or it's not, but I thought I'd kind of stick it in here and let you guys get expected. to it and see if you like it and see if you don't like it and if you like it you can tell your friends and if you don't like it you can shut your mouth no I didn't mean that that was aggressive so what it is it's a weird story I was doing a show in Kansas and I was doing some stand-up and I had an afternoon off and I went to the local movie theater and I'm sitting there waiting for the movie to start, and these two ladies were sitting a few seats over, and they were probably, you know, in their late 30s, early 40s, and they were just

chatting away, chatting up a storm, talking about the movies and going on about actors and plot lines and scenes, and they were talking real loud. And I could hear every word, and I started laughing because these two unassuming ladies really looked more like regular old housewives or working girls or, you know, just regular old folks from a smaller city in the middle of the country. and I was really surprised, amused, and taken aback by their passion for movies and all the aspects of the movies. And I started eavesdropping on their conversation, and it was cracking me up. And I thought there was a real sweetness and a real charm and a real innocence to their approach to movies. Their dialogue was really. funny to me and refreshing.

You know, I live in Hollywood and you hear a lot of hoity-toity, pretentious, smarmy, babble. And here was just these two wonderful women who are really who movies are designed for. Just regular folks all over the world, all over the country. So I'm listening on these two ladies, Donnet and Julie, and I listened until the movie started, and then I couldn't get them out of my head. So after the movie, I saw them downstairs in the lobby, and then I saw them wander outside, and I walked over to them, and I said, hey, girls, I'm Harlan Williams, blah, blah,

I'd like to introduce myself, and then I started asking if they knew anything about the world of podcasting. And they were like, what? La ha? Paid, what? So I don't think they're very familiar with it. And I said, how often you girls go to the movies? And they were like, oh, we go to two, three movies a week.

And I'm like, what, la, la? Suddenly I was that guy. And so I just threw it out there. I was with my buddy Adam Ray, who's a fellow comedian. He was working with me that week. And I said, how would you girls like to do a podcast? And I said, give me your information, your emails and your phone numbers. And me and my buddy Adam here, we are going to, we're going to kind of get this thing rolling and get you set up.

And we're going to produce a show. And why don't we call it getting juicy at the movies with Donna and Julie? And you girls can just get on the air and talk about movies and review a couple of movies every week. and just share your thoughts and your opinions and your voices with the world and they were like let's do it so it was just a random fluke meeting

and so now I'm producing this new podcast with my friend Adam Ray and it's called Getting Juicy at the movies with Donna and Julie and these girls have their own way of talking their own language they've been buddies since they've been buddies since they were little girls, as it turns out,

and they just love going to the movies and talking about the movies. So here it is. Like I said, if you enjoy it, spread the word, pass it on to your friends, subscribe to the show. And if you don't like it, then, you know, what's the matter with you? No, I didn't mean that. I was aggressive again. But either way, I hope you enjoy it.

And here it is the very first podcast of getting juicy at the movies with Donna and Julie. Of all the gin joints and all the towns and all the world, she walks into mine. Hi, I'm Donna, and I'm Julie, and we're getting juicy at the movies. Hi, Lloyd. A little slow tonight, isn't it? We're a couple of ladies from the Midwest. No, no, no. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly. Take a stress pill and think things over.

Stop, stop! I've had enough. I've had enough. But what about us? We've been best friends since grade school, and we love going to. to the movies. Cut! Cut! Cut! He's looking at you, kid. We're getting juicy at the movies.

What you don't realize is it in the back of the mortise forking the heavy good show. Eddie, do I have to talk louder than that? Yes, louder than that. Hi, welcome to this week's show. of getting juicy at the movies with Donna and Julie. I'm Julie and I'm Donna. And this week we're going to talk about a coming-of-age movie for 14-year-old Duncan called The Way Way Back.

We're also going to talk about two shoot-em-up undercover agents in the new movie, Two Guns. And then our retro movie this week is a classic boxing movie, Rocky, with Sylvester Stallone. Great lineup. Hope you enjoy the show. show. Jules, what went on with your week this week? Well, I was trying to think. Not a whole lot.

Oh, you know, I started doing this personal trainer business, and she's working on the core. Yeah, laugh, laugh, all you want. It's like crazy business is what she's trying to do. She's just trying to kill me. But eventually I'm going to be slim and trim. That's the idea. How long are you going an hour a day?

No, no, one hour a week. Thank God, because I can't move the second day. after that i hardly could get out of the bed this morning so my stomach was so sore so you're paying paying to be put through pain yeah i think there's something quite wrong with that i kind of think there's something wrong with that too but if it makes you healthy wealthy then that would be great right that's the ideas and she said you're working on your core yeah i'm working on the core to make me my you know the gut your gut area oh that's the core yeah my flat i'm going to have a flat stomach for the first time in 50 years. You're going to have a flat core. Yeah, flat core.

There you go. Awesome. So you'll kind of look like an apple core. Yes. Kind of slender in the middle. That'd be good. He's on top big and a hippers big. Yes. I'm going to try to slim those hips down too. That's the whole just of this. Okay. Well, you go for it. I know. Yeah. It's slower than slow. I'll just stay with the square. A rectangle. I know exactly what I got to cover. It's just straight down. Just there. Yep. Yep. That works too.

So are the boys ready for school? Did you get supplies and clothes and stuff done? Yes, we got supplies. They've got plenty of clothes. We'll have to probably get some new pants once the weather turns cooler and, you know, get them longer. Everybody's grown this summer, so we'll have to. Now, you didn't buy yourself anything yesterday, right, while you were clothes shopping for the kids? No underwear.

That was my big shopping. There you go. It was underwear. You can always use underwear. There you go. You don't buy that nasty-ass-thong stuff, do you? No. Oh, no.

See, not just thinking thong and big girls just not think. No, no. You would have to have it surgically removed. Yeah, and just the whole idea just kind of, that, you know, that butt floss thing. I can't do it. Yeah, no. Because you're old. I mean, I don't even know if they make pay bones anymore.

Oh, well, look, I don't know either. To be honest, I don't know if there's pay phones out there. If anybody knows, let us know, but I don't know that there's pay phones. I doubt there's very many. I mean, everybody's walking around. with a cell phone or some kind of handheld device you know right right right you can't go without seems like it yeah in fact you left yours in the car today and I know I'm like freaking out I don't have my phone I'm not connected that's not good no it's not because it just makes me feel

lost I keep checking my bra for it it's not there for all those that don't know yes that's where I keep my cell phone that's probably a bad idea but that's it's close to my heart that way FYI too much information way way too much information way too much but I think we ought to get started with our movies don't oh I think so too I think so too so I think we should do two guns first two guns okay let's talk about that one okay um it stars Denzel Washington he plays Bobby Mark Wolberg yeah he plays Stig now that's his nickname which is michael stigman uh paula patten she plays deb and she she we think she's a good person at first and then bill paxton and he plays earl and he oh yeah no he's bad we don't like him

it's basically about two guys two undercover agents one in the cia or i'm sorry not the cia one in the DEA and then one is military intelligent. Mark Wolberg is military intelligent and Denzel Washington Bobby is a DEA. The CIA guy you learn about later and that's Bill Paxton. Yeah, he plays a bad CIA guy. Like a criminal. Criminal. Yes, criminal CIA. Well, I guess the bottom line was the two guys, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are on a case not knowing that the other is an actual undercover agent. Right. So they're thinking they're going for a bad guy, which is the opposite person.

It's really mainly Denzel and Mark are the two main characters, and they are both undercover, but they're undercover against each other, and they don't know that. And they don't know it, right. And it finally does come. out yeah that they are in the chemistry between them was pretty cool yeah yeah yeah i mean i was not i was not a huge fan of the movie overall right but i thought the chemistry between them was really good yeah yeah and they and and and there was a little bit of funny a little bit of funny um i no no sad really oh well there was one time nudity we did have some breastuses twice we did yes the girlfriend

Denzel's girlfriend, Deb. I thought she had a bra on. Oh, no, she had. No bra. The whole she saw breast. Oh, dear. We didn't see the downstairs, but we did see the upstairs. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

I mean, it wasn't a lot. Right. It wasn't on there very long because I didn't even. No, I mean, she kind of sort of had a. Oh, that's right. Her hair. Her hair. Her hair, yeah. A robe and her hair tried to cover it.

But it really didn't cover it a lot. Right. Yeah. And then. And then. So we did have a little bit of that, but nothing. I mean, that part was very. minimal yeah but i mean we didn't see any sex no there was no no iirating and none of that no thank

goodness i'm tired of all that stuff yeah but i don't know it might have been good to see denzil denzil yeah well yeah but um or murky mark i'd been okay oh poor mark wopper i know but i i you know the storyline was okay i found it kind of hard to follow they introduced We have Bill Paxton come in as a CIA agent. A bad one. Which you don't know at first that he's a CIA. You just, you think he's a drug lord, basically, is what you think.

Yeah. And they go to Mexico. Right. And then you've got the bad guy who is actual drug lord. Yeah. And he's just creepy. Yeah, he's a creepy, yeah. A creepy Mexican drug lord would be the word I'd use for him.

And lots of shoot him, a lot of blood, a lot of killing. yeah lots of i mean it was definitely an action movie yes and and there was like donna said quite a bit of blood i more not really on the people but remember the chickens oh my god that was hilarious well now see i kind of didn't like that part well it well okay well just to set the scene up real quick the um mexicans are trying i'm trying to be politically correct there mexicans are practice their shooting and what they've done is they've buried chickens in the ground and all they're up is their heads you like in a trench like in a trench so the chickens are buried up to the neck well they keep missing the mexicans do yeah they keep missing so mark walberg just comes

through and bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang and knocks blows all the heads off the chickens and he he was like that was cruel to do he said well that was cruel to do as he's eating fried chicken so so i mean there yeah there i'm telling you there were some funny lines there were some funny lines and and then they shoot each other yeah and i oh you know one owes one the other to be shot and yeah and uh so the chemistry between them what was good i i thought the chemistry was really good for two actors that played off of each other well right and they and they realize they kind of realized they've been set up basically by the see CIA. Yes. Well, we think it's the CIA is who we think it set them up, but it really

ended up not being then. Was it the CIA or was it the Navy guy? Right? Yeah, I remember. And just, you know, we don't want to tell too much of the whole story, but oh, oh, one of the one funny line in it is never rob a bank across from the best from the restaurant that has the best donuts in town. in three counties never rob a bank ah ha ha ha ha ha yeah well for all you cop listeners yeah well meaning because you know the policeman like their donuts right when they're going to be in the that uh diner or restaurant all the time because they have the good donuts so don't rob the bank

across the street right right but um and the deb girl uh denzil's girlfriend she kind of had me thrown for a loop i felt all along she was a good girl or good person yeah guy i guess good guy yeah like she was a policeman she was a policeman yeah and then all of a sudden it's like kind of flip is she in on it yeah so yeah and you didn't realize that yeah i i agree forced away through i even told you i go i think she's bad yes and then just a little bit later it's like oh well maybe she's not well i think i think she was but they turned on her is what happened is they you know like she was bad they they yeah now not to tell too much but yeah it really well they they steal they steal money from the bank thinking it's the drug lord's money which was like

three million dollars like like oh it's a whole lot no no they thought it was three million it was like three hundred forty million oh this huge amount of money godly amount of money right and so everybody wants it we'll come to find out is the CIA's money right because he was crooked right because they were crooked. But the best part of the whole movie is at the end when they blow the money up. Right. Denzel comes driving in because they've kidnapped. Well, they've got Walberg.

Right. And they've got Deb. And they've got Deb. And they, and Denzel comes driving in and his, you know, because he can't, one of, one of the big lines in the movie for him was, I know a guy. I know a guy. Right. Right.

Right. And so he comes driving to Mexico with this. drug actually the drug guy and he had driving in his I don't know red convertible car that had been red red done obviously right right and so and in it is this 30 million is all this money that I don't even know it was way more money than I ever ever will see in my entire yeah I can't remember exactly how many it was like a bunch there it was over 30 million dollars yeah more than we've ever will know and then he blows it up right and then he just blows the smithering but the best part Is all these Mexican women walking around filling their dresses and their aprons with the money?

Because the stuff that didn't blow up was just laying there. Well, yeah, it was American dollars. They could spend it. It was just as well as anybody else. And I thought that was one of the best parts. Yeah, it was hilarious. That part was really hilarious. And then you see a couple fights between the two of them.

It just really, I liked it. I'm like Donna. It wasn't my most favorite movie. of the summer certainly no but it wasn't a horrible movie no i i yeah it wasn't a horrible movie it was um it i just found it a little hard to follow sometimes between was the cia agent the navy guy and then the drug lord i mean you always knew that uh denzil and walberg were were good yeah that wasn't a question no never but then you brought these other characters into it and it kind to me it got a little confusing at times and of course I'm pretty simple-minded so you know it's not

hard to confuse me but it was kind of like well kind of jumped I would say it kind of jumped around you were in Mexico then you weren't and then you just didn't know in this military they well they ended up where the the um DEA and the military kind of disowned Walberg and Washington right they kind of put them out on their own like yeah put them on their own so they kind of had to prove their way back let's just say right and get in the good graces and we really never found out that they did that yeah and the movie just kind of ends right yeah we never find out that they get back in the you know back into the real graces with their job and all that yeah yeah it just kind of ended so the movie was okay yeah like you said it wasn't my

favorite it was it's not it's by far the worst movie i've ever seen not the worst not yeah it is not the worst um it's not the bet but you know what it was entertainment right right that's what i would it was you know and we always and just so y'all know we're cheap we go to the cheaper movies and it was worth the cheaper the cheaper money sure oh sure um i don't know that i would go to prime time and early day we went the early day movies yeah we go to early day movies we just go the early day movies We don't pay $12 very often for a movie. No, unless it's something we have to see in the IMAX. Right.

And there have been some of those. Sure. Yeah, but this wasn't one of those. No, this one was fine on the screen. Yeah. We were on a medium screen, and the theater was pretty crowded. I was impressed. Yep.

That it was drawing a crowd. So, um, what kind of rating would you give it, Donna? I think I'd probably, uh, well, I'd probably give it a small popcorn with the white cheddar topping and a large diet coke because you know i always get thirsty but i i don't think i would give it any more than that okay the popcorn with cheddar topping and and a large diet coke okay i'd say um large tea uh pretzel with cheese and a small popcorn i liked it i thought it was good i liked those two actors and there was enough funny silly goofy stuff that it just it was entertaining for me what do you think donis should we i you know what i think it's time do you know

what it's time for i got no idea what's it time for is it time for us to read our time for read the movies oh we're reading the movies yeah we're going to read a script from the movies reading the script be prepared with your lines read a script you must know your lines for when you're reading that script memorize and know those lines help me expect to have an amazing performance if you're struggling with your arms. Think of the scene like music, the tempo. The dialogue should flow with the rhythm. And we're going to read from the Godfather tonight.

And we found out that it was made in 1972, or filmed in 1972, and the director was Francis Ford Coppola. I think that's how you say his name. and Al Pacino was in it, Marlon Brando, Diane Keaton, just to name a few. Yep, and it's the story of the Corleone Crime Family. And we're going to read Kay and Michael, and Kay's played by Diane Keaton. And Michael's played by Al Pacino. Okay, so I'll be Kay.

And I'll be Michael. Okay, here we go. Michael, is that scary guy? Is he a relative? No, his name is Luca Brasi. You wouldn't like him. Who is he? You really want to know?

Yes, tell me. You like spaghetti? You know I'd love spaghetti. Then eat your spaghetti, and I'll tell you a Luca Brassy story. Once upon a time, about 15 years ago, some people wanted to take over my father's olive oil business. They had Al Capone send some men in from Chicago to kill my father, and they almost did.

Al Capone! My father sent Luca Brassy after them. He tied the two Capone men hand and foot and stuffed small bath towels into their mouths. Then he took an axe and chopped one man's feet off. Michael. Then the legs at the knees. Michael, you're trying to scare me. Then the thighs were they joined the torso.

Michael, I don't want to hear any more. Then Luca turned to the other man. Michael, I love you. Who out of sheer terror had swallowed the bath towel in his mouth and suffocated. I never know when you're telling me the truth. I told you you would like him. Oh, Michael. That's a great one.

Okay, that is a good story. Yeah, that is a good story. I don't know that. I know I've seen it on TV, but I know I'm not sure that I've ever set and watched the actual whole movie. I'm not sure either, so I think that's something we should do. I think so. We can relay that on another podcast at some point and say, do that as one of our retro movies. Good idea.

I think that's a great idea. Yeah. Cool. Well, the second movie we're going to talk about this week is the coming-of-age movie of 14-year-old Duncan called The Way Way Back. It stars Steve Corral and Tony Collette. Tony Collette is the mother of Duncan, the 14-year-old boy. Steve Carell, his name is Trent in the movie, and he plays the boyfriend of the mom. And Steve Correll and Tony, or the mom and the stepdad, have taken the Trent's dog.

and Tony Collette's son, Duncan, to the beach for the summer. And it starts out in the beginning, the riding in the car, and Steve Carell's character, Trent, is talking to the, well, he's not a stepson, but the boy. Yeah, Duncan.

And ask him how he'd rate himself on a scale of 1 to 10. And Duncan, you know, being an insecure, 16-year-old boy, says... 14, he's only 14. Or 14, I'm sorry, 14, says, probably a six yeah and Steve Carell without missing a beat says I rate you three yeah and it's like well okay what an asshole he I was gonna say at the beginning you just don't like him you just don't

like him and he's you know he snide he's he's snide he's demeaning and he plays that part perfect yeah he's a little bit too ugly for what I thought of Steve Carell I mean I mean mean for playing the part of a jerk soon-to-be stepdad or mother's boyfriend yeah this is what you'd call it yeah I thought he did an awesome job he did he did but he just oh he was you know and and and you know Duncan is trying to find himself he's trying to fit in accepted in the world and we've all been through that yeah all been trying to fit in yeah where you want to be liked by everybody you know you're not going to be and you and you and you and it's really He's kind of a shy kid.

Yes. I would guess he's an only child. We don't ever really. Yeah. No. They don't ever talk about it. But he's with his mom and this, in this boyfriend. And he's been taken away from any friend he has at home.

Yeah. No friends. And he thinks his, he thinks his dad wants him to come live with him. Right. And unfortunately, during the course of the movie, he finds out that his mother, his father does not want him. Right. Which is an horrible awakening. I don't even imagine.

imagine no so he has to deal with that and he's befriended by some people that i mean well and that they're just awesome they're just awesome you know he he ends up stumbling across this water park called the water whiz right and he runs into owen and katelyn over there who is played by um and leum james or not i'm sorry liam jane's plays duncan but he runs into sam rockwell and maya rudolph and they run this water park and he and they accept him as he is no questions asked yeah and he and really um owen ends up being a real i would say like a you know big not like a stepdad maybe but more of a great role model big brother big brother role model absolutely accepting for exactly just just who he is right and and Duncan ends up having a blast

he gets the job at the water park and they and they all accept him he has found a family right and and these are people that you know and i think some of us or i know i did it there for a while when you when you have your first job and they you know this is only going to be a summer job and i'm only going to do this one summer and these people end up that's what they've done their entire life right and some of them have really been there a really long time and and so it's um you know it kind of makes you think back on those days when you when you had that kind of job yeah i remember my first job like that yeah you weren't thinking you were gonna you know it's only going to be a short time and i'm going to get a better job i'm going to do better you know right and you end up i know at our first job we had great fun oh it was a blast we had a great

fun working there and and you end up still having some friends from way back yes yes and you know so he gets accepted into this group he's having a blast working at the water park he does not tell his mother right his mom and this guy doesn't right no and uh the neighbor girl she finds out right follows him one day right then she starts hanging out right and she she she i think would definitely be duncan's friend really would would accept him because her now her mother is played by who oh his his mother is played by that no her mother yeah alison jenny and i'm going to tell you she's a drunk and and she is a hilarious she's a door divorcee yes and a drunk and just and she's got a son who is peter yes and he's a poor kid he he has trouble with his eye and they and they're wondering

and so his mom wants him to wear this patch because when people look at him they can't look him in the because his eyes still wandering and her mother and the mother makes such crude comments to him well i don't know which way you're looking and i don't know which eye to look at and yeah she just is i mean she's and he's probably he loves him i mean right oh yeah and he's probably like 10 i would say he's probably 10 in the movie yeah and and the mother and of course she is you know all the the didn't she had the bikini top and like the sarong on wasn't that the first and of course she's got a drink no she had those those white tight pants oh she had on those white tight capris and the shirt she had a drink in her hand the whole time the whole movie problem is is that the adults right

were either drinking or smoking pot i was going to say um and i think once they even were doing a little cocaine yeah i yeah yeah which which duncan's mother never did or he didn't think so i don't i don't know that she did any of the drugs but she was drinking you definitely and steve carell was a bad influence on her. Oh, bad influence. Bad influence. I mean, he played a classic, excuse me, asshole. Right. Yeah, he hooks up with another friend's wife. Right. Now,

we never see him actually hookup, hookup, but we're pretty sure that's what happened. But Steve Carrell apologizes later. Yeah, so we're sinking. No, no sex. The only adult content in it really was the alcohol and the drugs. Right.

But there was, I don't even think there was any foul language. I no foul language there was no nudity no no boobs no nothing no swimsuits there were swimsuits but nothing bad no but nothing that was

risque or no anything no it was a great coming of age movie and everybody I know and myself included has gone through a period where you want to be accepted right and

I thought this movie did a great job of showing you how somebody is trying to be accepted and how they how they come of age and how they right learn to talk to their parent or parents yeah uh except the cards that they're dealt right life's not fair no no and you can't you you know you don't get to choose you don't get to choose how other people treat you right you have to do and be who you are right and he ends up being a pretty cool kid. Poor kid, he just felt like he was a loser and this stupid Steve Carell. And they never say how far or how long his parents had been divorced, but she's been dating Steve Correll for a little while. Right, for like a year, remember? Yeah, I was right out of

year, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah, they were talking. And to come on this trip, and he just treats him like crap. Right. He teaches the kid like, and he really kind of treats her that way, too, to be honest. He's not real. He treats her like she's dirt. Yeah. Yeah. And Tony, Colette she I love her she just crashed me up um you know she's one of those people that I don't think she gets enough roles because she isn't what Hollywood considers a beauty yes you know I thought she played a great mom she's yeah she does and she's and she is finally does do the right thing right right right definitely does the right thing yeah and just I mean you just you feel sorry for her because I think she's

I think she's torn I'm kind of desperate she's got a man that's showing her attention right and having been there you'll do just about anything when a man showing you attention yeah

and I think for the longest time she's torn between satisfying Steve Correll or Trent in this case the man and her son Duncan and I and she has to come of age

and has to realize things too yeah like what's most important what's most important and yeah the only thing that was a bad bad experience during this movie was the woman next to us that took her skanky shoes off

I had to mention this I have to mention this she talked the entire movie do not talk during the movie and don't take your skanky feet out of your skanky tennis shoes and put them out for everybody to see and smell right I'm sorry

that is not movie etiquette this movie we had two people we in the back remember those people yes we had several talkers use movie etiquette I know I'm getting off the movie for a second but you gotta use movie etiquette yeah chatter during the previews

yeah knock yourself out yeah that didn't bother us but the minute they go to the movie shut up yeah be quiet don't don't you know I mean it's one thing to laugh and it's one thing to go oh my but it's something else but they were visiting oh they were

visiting and they kept saying things comments instead of waiting until after the movie that just bugs us just shut up yes that just bugs us I mean everybody else in the theater paid to see the movie yes and we want to see the movie I don't want your commentary right if you want to

give commentary talk to me after the movie I'd be glad to talk about it with right but not during right I know I know I had to throw that out there it's been bothering me since we saw it the I know I know the shoes come off that's just it's just gross it's just not sandals shoes we're talking shoes people yeah yeah tennis shoes yeah yeah and

nasty nasty nasty old feet out stuck them out there yeah i was just like gross well then and then they were the people that came in and never bugs we always get to the movies early which you know is kind of one of our things but people come in the last second and then they want you to move all your stuff so they can set down you know i'm plopped here for a reason leave my stuff alone go find somewhere else to sit yeah you know there was plenty of places it wasn't like the movie was jam packed sold out and it's one thing if you're in a movie that's completely sold out and you know you're going to sit hip to hip right right right right no problem and i don't mind sitting hip to hip with family and friend but i don't want to sit hip to hip with some stranger right

so i had to slide my ass over so that she could have more room and then her friend takes off her skanky shoes right like the whole yeah i know so that part was not a good thing but that that was the only bad experience of the of the whole movie experience that day but the movie itself was excellent yeah i would i would say large popcorn um i'd probably buy even extra topping so may i'd probably do cinnamon sugar because that's awfully good and then i would do i'd probably try a smoothie i think it would a smoothie worth and maybe even well smoothie and ice cream kind of the same thing so i'd have to have a large tea for sure and maybe throw some popcorn in or just um not popcorn but uh pretzel pretzel too yeah i would do a large popcorn with the butter and the cheddar cheese topping

a large soda and then i would get some plain m and ms to throw in with the popcorn so you have the salty and the sweet oh candy on top of it all candy on top yeah so in our eyes that was a good yeah that was a good movie okay great so now julie i think it's trivia time oh my gosh trivia time okay it's time for movie trivia this is a new thing for me the trivia you.

If you have some trivia questions that you think that we can, that could stump us, send them in and we'll see what we can do, and we'll try to do that on a next episode. Cool. Okay. Sounds good. Julie, let's do the retro movie. Okay. Time for retro. What time is it? It is flashback, flashback, flashback.

Rocky came out in 1976. It was directed by John G. Alveson written by Stallone and starring Sylvester Stallone. Mm-hmm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-hmm, yes. Talia Schire was the other

was a lady. Adrian. Adrian. Yeah, yeah, there, that's better. Burt Young played his brother Her brother No her brother

Right right right Polly Yeah played her brother Rocky is about a boxer Who lives in He's uneducated and kind-hearted And he's a debt collector I forgot about that for a loan shark

Oh that's right In this city of Philadelphia Pennsylvania And he starts out as a club fighter And who later gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Now, if you've not seen Rocky, you really need to rent that. Oh, it's like you've got to see Rocky. Yeah, right.

If you've not seen Rocky, it is. Yeah. And it was kind of one of the first, or at least one of the first ones that I remember. I don't know if I would call it an action movie, but it. Oh, I think it was one of the first action, what I would call an action movie, non-antimated, not a non-Disney movie. movie that i ever saw yeah i would say oh yeah for sure because you know up until then yeah pretty young still up until then you know we we were still seeing all the disney movies and you know stuff like that but we're kids yes right we weren't that old in 76 either that's what i'm saying we

were kids but you know rocky was excellent i mean it's got you know the soundtrack oh the soundtrack is eye of the tiger exactly you know when he goes into training to become to go after the championship and Polly is, you know, is Adrian's brother. And he's the trainer. Yeah, and he's the helper. The other guy is the trainer. Burgess Meredith, I think. Burgess Meredith plays the trainer.

Yeah. And they just. Just ends up being a great movie. I don't know how you could say anything else about it. It's kind of like an underdog comes from behind type thing. And he's a local fella, local under, like you said, underdog, people know. People know who he is in his neighborhood. People know him, but he's a debt collector, so they, yeah, maybe they would.

I forgot that he was a debt collector. I did, too. I, yeah, until I saw that. Yeah. He, and Sylvester Stallone, they made this movie for a budget of $950,000. They shot it in 28 days, which is really quick in the Hollywood world, apparently. It made $225 million. Holy cow. It was the highest grossing film in 1976,

and it won three Oscars, including Best Picture. I can see Best Picture. Yeah, yeah. Just the whole movie is a good movie. And it plays kind of a love story. Yes, it's a love story. Talia is a very shy with Thrawn lady. Doesn't she work at the pet store?

Yes, sure. It's at a pet store. And, yeah, and he... and he's shy too to begin with he's shy and they just catch each other's eye and he starts dating her and polly's not real thrilled with it in the beginning no no because he's a debt collector kind of right i would say a bad guy per se you would almost think he was like a bad guy or somebody like a mob collector you wouldn't want your family you know associated with them but um right it was the only part that grossed me out in the whole movie i mean i can handle the boxing scene when he eats them raw eggs

yeah right that's just nasty when he fills that glass with them raw eggs and sex it down and I don't know if that's edited or not but boy if he really drank him more power too yeah no kidding no kidding Stallone more power and he's looking good in this movie too he had to be young oh yeah well and that spawned I mean I

don't know off top of my head I think it's six I think it was Rocky 2 3 4 and 5 and then Rocky Balboa which was really just a couple of years ago yeah And Sylvester Stallone wrote them and he directed wrote them all. And it says he directed all the sequels except Rocky Five. So which I don't know that I knew before this little adventure. But definitely I would say good love story.

Talia kind of becomes a more beautiful woman. Oh yes. She comes out of her shell. Yeah, she's very quiet, very, she'd been. by her brother or she lived with her brother for sure and and you know it's guy gets girl again right right and at the end when he's all beat up battered and bruised and bleeding right and he just keeps hollering for adrian and it's like oh and she's there she didn't really want him to box no once she started loving him she didn't really because because boxing's dangerous sure

and and she knew right she knew he could really get hurt and saw him afterwards i mean he he was her and but oh and she she loves him and he and he wins the title so he does win the titles this brings on the rest of other sequels the sequels yes i i loved it i thought was a great my favorite i mean i think i've seen them all and i know i saw robboa the one a couple years ago i think the original rocky is my favorite yeah probably it's true just grit and it's the beginning and I think it truly shows the guy trying to come

to make something of himself. Right, right. And one of the famous scenes that we've seen in fact was on that weight loss show last week, or I think it was the weight loss show no one that. Well, anyway, one of those shows I've seen lately where they ran up the steps of Philadelphia.

At the hall. It's Freedom Hall or what's the hall they run up? I don't know. Somewhere in Philadelphia. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, and they're running up, and part of his exercise routine is to run, run, run, run, and box and get to the top of, I don't even know how many stairs, but it's a bunch. Well, and if you remember, we played I have the tiger in band. Yes, I know we did, yes.

Okay, so there we are aging and dating ourselves. I know, I know. Once again, band geeks. Hey, what can we say? Great movie. If you're looking for something to watch, that's, you know, just a kid-friendly, good movie. the um and remember there's boxing in it so there's some blood there's some blood but it's not gory it's not like blood spewing no and remember in 1976 they didn't have all those graphics so

it was a little more a little more realistic as far as i would say you know on the movies yeah i mean nowadays everything you know there's blood is completely everywhere yeah it's craziness so so i would say definitely run one durant if you have not and i hope I hope everybody's seen it, though, because it really is a good movie. Yeah, and if you haven't, and it doesn't come up on TV or something, you need to find it on Netflix or DVD and watch it, and sit down and watch it with the family some night. It's a good movie.

Yeah. And it's a good, feeling good movie. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Well, Jules, I think that's it for this week. Gosh, are ready? I know. It's gone fast. Okay.
