The Josh Innes Show - The Greatest Movie Of All Time

Episode Date: April 30, 2025

Steven Spielberg has named "The Godfather" the greatest American movie of all time. I've never watched it in its entirety. I take a look at the AFI Top 100 movies list to see how many I've seen. I went to see the new Cheech and Chong movie and I enjoyed it. Plus, someone finally got fed up with the rude St. Louis moviegoers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Went to the picture show yesterday and saw the Cheech and Chong movie, Cheech and Chong's last movie. Like, they spun it in the trailer as well. It's not really a documentary, but it's a documentary. It's got like some brief moments of, you know, current stuff. But it's a documentary and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm a big Cheech guy. I just like Cheech Marin, but... Cheech Marin. But I thought it was good. It was a good documentary. I feel like the only Marin but uh Cheech Marin but um I thought it was good it was a good documentary I feel like the only movies I go see now are documentaries I think the last two I saw

I saw the Led Zeppelin documentary real talk on the Led Zeppelin documentary like it was good like I don't need like full eight minute performances in a documentary like I'm fine with I have nothing against Led Zeppelin I'm fine with Led Zeppelin but I'm just here to watch a documentary I don't need like nine minutes of some footage from you know 50 years ago I've heard the fucking songs I don't need to hear the fucking songs again so just just fucking do the documentary you know like the Eagles documentary there there's a couple of moments in there where you get some live. Mostly, I think really the only full type of thing you get there is you get a scene of the dueling guitar solos there in the Hotel California. But outside of that, it's a three-hour-plus documentary.

I don't need long musical interludes. I've heard the songs a million times, and that's how I felt about the documentary with Led Zeppelin. It was fine. I liked it, but I don't need all the performances. Cheech and Chong was good too. I liked it. Oh, speaking of the movies. So I tell you about St. Louis all the time and just how terrible the audiences here are. Constantly on their phones. Constantly talking. This is without a doubt the worst movie city I have ever been in. I don't even think they're purposely disrespectful. They're just fucking boobs. So we're in the middle of watching this documentary yesterday.

And I'm guessing somebody had to have been on their phone. I think it was somebody actually in the handicap row. Somebody with a walker, but that's to be expected. We went into that movie assuming that everyone was going to be old because when you think about it, Cheech and Chong is damn near a 60-year-old bit anyway, you know, so we figured the audience would be old. One man who had trouble walking up the two stairs to get to his seat this man was struggling he spent the first half of the movie just breathing very heavy after his walk up the two stairs but at one point this lady with a walker must have been on her phone and just out of the blue some guy goes please turn off your phone and she goes sorry and then

turned off her phone. Finally, someone stepped up and told these terrorists to turn their shit off. I'm a non-confrontational person, so I'm not looking to start a fight at the movie theater with anybody. I'll tolerate the fact that some dickhead, I'll be baffled by it, and I'll sit there and just constantly stew over the fact that someone is scrolling through Facebook and responding to Facebook messages during the movie. And I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking, well, Josh, your dumb ass sits on the phone all the time. I do, but if I'm at my home, that's different. If I'm at the cinema where other people are trying to enjoy the cinematic adventure, what the fuck are you doing? So the fact that somebody stepped up and was a hero and said, please turn off your phone, I'm like, good for you. I still haven't seen sinners I have been told by people who are in the movie movie insiders that there's no actual sex in this so that means we're not going to see the the the coups and the tongues and whatnot but I'll still go see it

at some point uh but um I was kind of hoping we'd get some Haley Steinfeld sex action we will not be getting that apparently but now what's funny about my algorithm my algorithm now on Instagram it's a fun game to play let's go to my Instagram

and just go to search like everything that pops up on my Instagram now is basically the two people that pops up on my instagram now is basically shit the two people that pop up now are hayley steinfeld and uh margaret margaret margaret qually who is the daughter of andy mcdowell who i find to be very alluring but i guess i looked at enough pictures of her where she's in my algorithm now so that's fun but I just get um I get Haley Steinfeld oh and I get videos of um of what's her name who's on tour now Katy Perry and her shitty choreography that everybody's making fun

of now but uh it's amazing how great Katy Perry perry used to be katie perry used to be so hot she did funny shit and like her music was fucking incredible teenage dream just a fucking baller album and now she's just a fucking clown but uh i see a lot of those videos that pop up too that's kind of what i got going on right now uh but anyway we'll get into some more stuff after these words.

Fun fact, I have never watched that in its entirety. Part of it is out of spite because of all the sports radio dudes who reference The Godfather all the time. It's the same reason I don't like Bruce Springsteen and because he sucks. But also because I get annoyed by the sports radio people who always reference Bruce Springsteen.

Never watched The Godfather in its entirety. Know a lot of the main lines of the movie because people say them all the time. I don't know that I've ever watched a second of the second Godfather and I know for a fact I've never watched a second of the third Godfather and I've never watched the first Godfather film in its entirety. Like I wonder how many of these movies that are considered all-time great movies are ones I haven't seen. Then movies that are considered all-time great movies are ones I haven't seen then movies that are considered all-time pieces of shit that I've seen a thousand times like Rocky 5 like Rocky 5 I've seen a billion times haven't seen the Godfather one time in its entirety like the whole three hours of the Godfather I've never watched it in its entirety

I've seen bits and pieces when it's been on TV never watched it in its entirety but I've seen bits and pieces when it's been on TV, never watched it in its entirety, but I have seen fucking Rocky five a thousand times. I have seen the big green a thousand times and blank check a thousand times. I've seen, I've seen back to the future three a thousand times, but I've not seen the Godfather.

The original jazz singer, Pulp Fiction. I've seen that. Put it this way. I have seen none of these fucking movies. So big picture. I need like a modern list of the best movies ever made. Maybe I need to sit down and watch The Godfather. I don't want to sit down and watch The Godfather. I just want to watch movies that I want to enjoy. That's all. I don't want to watch movies because people are like, well, this movie from 1937 is one of the all-time best. I don't give a shit. I don't feel like watching some fucking black and white movie. It's just not

something that I care about. Seeing people get all worked up over that shit you know what i want to watch i want here's what i want to watch i want to watch a movie i've already seen a thousand fucking times and i laugh at every time i watch it put in super bad and i'll watch that i don't want to sit down and watch bridge on the fucking river quay might be the best movie ever don't give a shit i'm just here to be entertained by shit i'm simple in that way i say, yet all the movies I seem to go to at the theater are kind of, you know, not arthouse-y type movies, because I'll go see some shit, too. But, like, I told you I wanted to go see the Penguin movie. That doesn't seem like a, you know, the movie with the guy and the penguin. Or the movie with the dog and dog busters, or whatever that Bill Murray movie is called. You know, that shit. But those are the ones I go see. I saw that Michael Keaton movie where he was like Mila Kunis' dad. You know, all that shit.

All that said, I have never seen The Godfather. And that's one of those things, if you say that in Philly, it's like the most offensive thing ever. Because most of the references that these sports radio dweebs make on the radio, at least the old school guys, are all fucking Godfather references. All of them. And it's like, Jesus Christ, cut the shit on the Godfather. I'm so tired of hearing about the fucking Godfather. But Steven Spielberg says Godfather, greatest movie of all time. I've never seen Citizen Kane. Sure, it's fine.

Not interested. movie of all time i've never seen citizen kane sure it's fine not interested like it's funny because these movies you know all the lines like the key lines from so many of these movies but you're like i couldn't tell you what actually happens like what is casablanca here's looking at you like what like i don't really know key largo anywho but uh that's what's going on there in the world of Steven Spielberg and his best movie of all time in America, American-made film. So now you know.
