Turd. Canada's David Du Coveney. Their own damn plan with Tom. Pulling the plug on Randy and more on this episode of the morning stream. Hello there, Jill. They call me happy Pete. I came to the store to buy myself a treat. You look so unhappy that you're making me sad.

I won't buy as much, because now I feel bad. Real villain mustache. A great pair of nerd glasses in about an hour. This is the morning stream. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's Wednesday, January 26th, 2022. I'm Scott. He's Brian. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, people. Is that one of your post-show raps, Scott? I know that you do these raps. I know that you do these raps. after recording. Yeah, I enjoy them.

They're really fun to say this starts with this. And then we get into it. I'm not doing it now, but yeah. Oh, but it wasn't, that, that, that wasn't one of yours. No, that wasn't one of mine. Lisa, you're awfully sad. Yeah, he's a sad little man.

Hello there, Jill. Jill. He got Lisa. I should remember her name was Jill. When you said Lisa, it didn't click on any bells for me. I just needed a two syllable name for my rap. Yeah, there's this whole. So I found this infomercial about sales and service, and I couldn't not capture some.

No, that is some magic audio right there. Like, I want more. I assume there's a lot more. Oh, there's a lot more. In fact, there might be more today. It might be more today. Welcome back, everybody. We've got a show to do.

We're going to do it. That's what we're here for. I would like to start things off today by stumping Brian. Oh, good. Okay. All right. Stump me. A little bit of stumpage incoming, Brian.

I didn't prepare Brian for this. He has no idea what I'm about to do. So I'll explain briefly how this is going to work. Because later on, he's going to do Tad Pooley Feud. Yeah, I get to game. I get to game Scott and Brian later. So let's... Speaking of which, I'm going to start that logging now because it always takes forever.

Anyway, so we're going to go ahead and do that. And the thing I'm going to do to stump you today is a little bit different. You're a movie buff. We both like films. We do. And, you know, Brian in particular, toward the end of the year, make sure to watch all the Oscar noms and that sort of stuff and, you know. Toward the end of the year, but really towards in the beginning of the year now,

because that's where a lot of it is now. Like the first couple months of the year, you've got to scramble for those last ones. We don't have, wait, do we have nominations yet? We don't have that yet. No, we don't have nominations. We don't even have, like, usually the Hollywood reporter is great about saying, here are, like, all right, if you're going to watch movies, you think you're going to be Oscar noms, here are the first five you should watch then when you're done watching those you should watch

these five because it's like these are guaranteed to be in the nominations these are most likely to be in the nominations right right and um and claire i care because it's a great way to see films that that we may not have seen otherwise and that we've really enjoyed yeah no it's a it's a tradition i respect i think it's good yeah um so here's here's what i'm going to do i'm in a rapid fire style ask you if you can tell which of these quotes came from what film now many of these are going to be obvious the trick here isn't that you know them the trick is that you know them quickly so that we can see if we

can get the entire list in oh gotcha okay so I got to be really quick with my answers okay no no fluff no fluff it's got to be like bam bam thank you ma'am go go I can handle the truth you can handle the truth that might be in here who knows I might be in there, yeah. So let's start with this one. This is an easy one. A little softball top one. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

That'd be the godfather. Very well done. Next up. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world. That'd be the usual suspects. All right, good job. Well done. Next up, may the force be with you.

That's Star Wars one. And other Star Wars movies later. Scoop a chocolate, scoop of vanilla deluxe my time. Yeah, no kidding. Here's another one. Say hello to my little friend. Scarface. All right.

You shall not pass. That'd be Lord of the Ring. Uh, this is Sparta. That is, uh, 300. Very good. Boy, that escalated quickly. Oh, geez. Boy, that escalated quickly.

Uh-huh. Crap. Let's say one of the, uh, let's say wedding crashers. I don't know that one. Anchorman. Next up. Okay. Next up.

I'm, I'm sorry, Dave. I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. That'd be, uh, 2001 of Space Odyssey. Well done. With great power comes great responsibility. That'd be Spider-Man, any of them. Any of them, any and all.

All of them. I'm going to skip this one because it's stupid. I'll tell you what it is, but we're not doing it. The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club. Yeah, might be in the title. The title might be right in there. Okay. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.

That'd be Apocalypse Now. Well done. Play with matches. You get burned. That would be, I don't know. Firestarter. It feels like it would be good. I bet it's in there, but it's probably not the one they're looking for.

Pulp Fiction. Vincent Vegas said that. Oh, really? Play with matches. He get burned. Really? Okay. Again, that one's kind of a hard one.

How about this one? Why so serious? Why so serious? That would be the dark night. Where's Harvey Dent? All right. How about this one? Hostile vista, baby.

That'd be Terminator 2. Good job. Shaken, not stirred. That'd be, well, first appeared in Casas. first appeared in Dr. No. Incorrect. Goldfinger. Really? I thought he said that in Dr. No.

According to this list. From planetofsuccess.com. So I don't know if it's exactly right. All right. Okay. Houston, we have a problem. Apollo 13. Well done. Apollo 13.

Yeah, Apollo 13. Yeah, you got it. Here's this one. In a comic, you know how you can tell the arch villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero, and most times they're friends. Like you and me, I should have known way back. then you know why david's uh unbreakable yes correct okay you did it good job first first thought was the right thought uh either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain yes that is

batman uh which one is that that is uh the dark night rises dark night yeah dark night okay so two from dark night i just didn't think they'd pull two from the same one that's well this list you know they're they're ticking by their own clock this is the joker who says it it, so why wouldn't I think it was the dark night? It was actually Harvey Dent, who said it. Oh, it was. Oh, I thought it was the Joker. Okay. Aaron Eckhart, Utah's own, Aaron Eckhart, said those words.

All right, here's your next one. I'm having an old friend for dinner. That's The Silence of the Lambs. You are 100% correct. Next up, I just want to play a game. Is it war games? Nope, Saw. Jigsaw from Saw says that.

Saw, okay, yeah, I didn't think. It, yeah, shall we play a game is, uh, shall we playing your games. Yeah. Uh, here's one for you. I have been and always shall be your friend. Uh, that is, uh, oh my God. I have been, yes.

This one's so obvious. It's hard. I know. It's killing me. It is so obvious. I have been and always shall be your friend. Uh, why is this one so hard? why is it like i could repeat the i could repeat the quote yeah verbatim here i'll tell you what

hand on glass does that help oh it's it's star trek to the wrath of car very well done why couldn't i freaking come up with that good job all right if you build it they will come that's uh field of dreams good job you are a slave like everyone else you were born into bondage into prison sorry into a prison that cannot taste or see see or touch a prison of your for let me read that again you You are a slave. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind. Babies day out.

Matrix, is the correct answer. Matrix, oh, of course, it's what Fishburn says to Keanu at the beginning, or like, yeah. Early on Morpheus business. Have a pill. Take a pill. You know. A million dollars. A million dollars isn't cool.

You know what's cool? A billion dollars. Is that? Oh, that's Seth Green said that in Austin Powers. It was Sean Parker and the social network. Okay. That's also correct. I'll also accept that one.

All right. I'm mad as hell. I swear that was like, you know, a million dollars. Isn't he cool? It does kind of sound like that. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. That would be network. Very good.

They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom. Never take our freedom. Burry of Hart. Okay. Here is your, let's do two more of these. It'll make it 30 total. Okay. Revenge is a dish best, sorry, revenge is a dish that tastes best when served cold.

Oh, geez. That's, I came from a movie. I thought that was like just a quotation. I don't think it's, it's, uh, monolabic enough to be something Schwarzenegger said in Batman and Robin, but let's say that, just to move along. All right, sure. Nope, it's Don Vito Corleone and the Godfather, said that. Godfather, okay.

Pretty sure he coined it. So that's, that is where that comes from, I think. Um, all right, this one. If my answers frighten you, then you should cease asking scary questions. Ooh, I like that. I like that quote. I don't recognize it, but I like it. My answer is frightening you.

Because this would be another Silence of the Lambs guess if I can't come up with anything else. We'll just say Silence of the Lambs again. Jules Winfield in Pulp Fiction said that. Really? Yeah. Another Pulp Fiction. Apparently, I need to see Pulp Fiction again. I thought I knew that movie backwards and forwards.

If I did like a true, you know, Mother F and Snakes kind of voice for it, it would ruin it. Yeah, it would totally be it. All right, your final question. I hope you get this one. Here it is. They send you here for life. that's exactly what they'll take. Is it Shawshank Redemption?

You are correct. Good deal. That was red. You better get that. Yeah, well done. One of my favorite movies of all time. I think you did really well. Not just like you knew them.

The ones you didn't know, whatever, you just don't know them. But the ones you knew, you knew them quickly. And that's the hard bit, right? That is, and that's good practice because a lot of times I will sit there and I'll be like, oh my God. Well, it'll be just like that I have been and always will be your friend. Like, it sits there at the edge of, of recognition and acceptance.

Like, I could tell you that, that quote verbatim. And I would, uh, uh, my problem is when under, went under pressure to answer those questions. Yes. I would, I would end up things like, you know, or, or, or I would come, I'd say, oh, that's so and so from another thing. Like I would, I would think of their other things, uh, or other movies an actor was in. I wouldn't think of the main one.

Uh, so, uh, well done. I think you did great. That prepares us now for the good times that are to follow. we add Brian Dunaway to this call and we see just how um you know ready he is to hit a big buzzer button you know maybe he's maybe he's ready to hit that button maybe he's maybe he's a little going to be a little slow on the trigger I don't know I don't know what's going on I do know that Brian Dunaway's here joining us for a Babbole royale tad Pooley feud edition hello hello oh oh I kind of hear him now on your microphone there you all there

Hello. Are you there? Can you? I just keep dropping out for me. It's weird. Oh, yeah. You're on some kind of weird deal there. Let me see. You know what?

For you? Just for you, I'm moving to Central. Okay. Now we're on Central Time. This might help. Let's go to a time zone that none of us are in. Yeah, none of us are in Central. We're meeting in the middle.

Brian, how are you? Oh, he still sounds bad. It must be something at your office. You sound really crusty. All right. Let's let's that. Ooh. Man, listen to that.

That's nasty. There's some crusty robot business there. That's no good. Be right back. Yeah, disconnect and reconnect. He'll come back is what he'll do. Hear what I'll do. You know what?

I'll do it. I'll remove him from the group and then re-ad it. Bootsky, boom. Yeah, here he comes. Let's hit that again. We're doing it again. In the meantime chat room, you know the number. Some of you are already calling, but I'm not going to take the random call yet.

It's 801-47-1062 is the number, as you can see in the chat. If you want to participate in today's Tad-Pully Feud, and possibly win some prizes for yourself and your loved ones. Today's your chance. And I can't think of a better place to do it than here or a better time than that. Right here and right now. By the way, speaking of Scarface, that was one of the ones that came up there. I know the quote still have never seen the movie.

Oh, you should see Scarface. I know. I know I should. I mean, it's very good. It's been on every single teenage boy's poster on the wall of every teenage boy in the 2000s and T-shirts. Yeah, it's good. I know it's good. I just haven't seen it.

It's good, but it's also kind of ridiculous. Like, it's not, I think it holds up, but it holds up in a way that's, I don't know, it's a real stereotypic. Oh, oh, I see him. Brian, are you there? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, now we hear you. Oh, you sound so much better.

Yeah, you're better now. It must be my, it must be my other device. Maybe is trying to upgrade to Windows 11 or something stupid. Whatever. Could be. It's always something. Yeah. I upgraded to 11 on my gaming box, and it's still a little weird.

There's some weird. issues with 11 it's not perfect yeah well that's how it is every time we do an upgrade it's like well no I don't like it yeah this stuff changes it's whatever it messes with my sound settings and it pisses me off anyway it's good to have you here Brian thank you for coming in here and being a part of this as usual we're gonna add a listener to this as well let's find out who's holding hi who's this hi this is robert loki robert no chat room oh hello loki robert nice to have you here how are you loki robert you having a good day having a good day how about yourself.

You know, we're getting by. We're making it work. We're pushing it through. We're making it happen. Yeah, all those, all those, all those things. Okay, Robert. What, what place, where do you call home besides Asgard, of course? Mobile.

Mobile, Alabama. Speaking of Alabama. Yeah, we're just talking about Mobile. Do you know what I'm talking about? The trip to New Orleans isn't so bad from Mobile. It's like kind of quick. It's weird how fast that goes. Just a couple hours.

Yeah. So you can go like three states. near there. It's crazy how fast you can get there. I spent a little bit of time in Mobile back in the 90s and I liked it there. Mobile was nice. Except it was really hot and I sweat so bad I thought I was going to die. But other than that, it was great. You guys are great. Anyway, it's good to have you on here. I'm glad you're playing with us today. Brian, you want to explain how this works to Loki Robert and what he might win? Absolutely. Hello, Jill. It's time to play the few. Don't be sad. put you in the mood.

All right, I've surveyed the tadpole on some nerdy topics. Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they give us, and it's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Loki, Robert, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with one of these chuckleheads. And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes the game's Kyle is Famous, Complete Edition, because you don't want a partial edition of Kyle is Famous, and Due Process. Oh, I don't know what that.

is. Dude process. Yeah, dude. Do process. Just dude. No, not dude. Not dude process. Yeah. We don't talk about the dude process. That's my dude process. Yeah. Or dude process, if you're not into that whole brevity thing.

Sure. All right, those are the prizes you could win. Let's give them their topic. They've got their hands on the buzzers. Mine says waiting for host. Oh, there is. The buzzer. Yep. You're waiting for me. I see it now. All right. I see the two of you guys. in here. Hands on your buzzers. We had 580 responses to this.

16 people just could not bear to come up with an answer. Losers. So, here is the question. What is the best animated film of all time? Scott. I can only think of the one that I think is the best. I'll just say it.

Chicken run. It's my favorite. That's not going to win. Show me. Show me chicken run. Oh, I love chicken run. you have a I know I know I'm saying But the first one that came to my mind was the one

I love the most So eat my shorts I you know I hate to say it The hot 5808 Your response is nobody said chicken What is wrong with you people Not a single chicken run

I love a single chicken run Chicken run is amazing You guys It's in my top 10 animated films of all time Maybe number one Anyway all right fine Well Brian

here's your chance to steal. Lion King. Lion King. Show me Lion King. Oh, you should have got a... Ah, da-da-da-la-la-la-la-la-la-gur-ha-ha-ha-ha. 30 people. All right.

That means that Loki, Robert, you are going to be playing with Brian. The two of you have control of the board. And three points to start with. Give me some more answers. Hey, Loki, you got some, or you want me to throw some out there? You go ahead and throw some out there. Keep it in mind that I've, yeah, okay, how about, okay, then let's just go Beauty and the Beast. Oh, Beauty and the Beast.

Show me Beauty and Beast. Are you serious? That's because that movie is not very good. I don't even know you people. I don't even know the Cat Pull. Number 14, 14 on the movie. the list. Are you crazy?

No, look, man. They didn't have chicken run at all. So what will we dealing with here? What are we working with here? What even is this? I can understand that. Let's go, shut up. That movie's great.

Here comes my answer, which I hope will be a correct one. The answer is why is my brain so blank? You know what? It's because there's so many of these. All right, I'll go with what I think. Everybody in the chat would say, I know my daughter would say,

Iron Giant. It's in my top. Top three. Iron Giant. Sure. Show me the Iron Giant. Ah, it was in their top five, number five on the board. That's better for me.

I get more points that way. It is. It's better for you if it's not in the top. All right. I'm on a roll here. Let's go with, I'm on a roll. I got one. Yeah, go one.

It's a tiny roll. Parker House roll. Let's do the Incredibles probably on here. Okay. All right. Show me the Incredibles. Oh, you've now moved up to a Hawaiian roll number six on the board is the Incredibles. Hawaiian roll.

I know those are so good. They are good. Okay. Toy Story probably might be there. Yeah, that was my third guess. But yeah. I don't even know you people since you didn't even put buging the beast in the top. Whatever.

All right. Show me toy story. Number two. Okay. Okay. I quit People are crazy It would be funny

It would be so funny if Toy Story 3 was number one And we know how bad Dunaway hates that movie Just the troll Look I know that most of the Tadpool is like You know

30s to 50s right Come on We don't know that We don't know anything We know nothing about that I've been to the tad pool I know those people We don't take any kind of census

We have zero idea how old anyone is. All right, I'm going to go with, I just don't think they're digging into the classics. I think we're going to go with, oh, geez, why am I blanking on this? I'm trying to stay out. Mm-hmm.

Sure. Mm-hmm. Right? Mm-hmm. All right. I'll just say, I don't know if sequels are on here. I'll just say one. Toy Story 2. Okay.

All right. Show me Toy Story. DOS. Damn it. Toy Story 2 was number like tied for 45th place.

I like tied for 35th place. There we go. There it is. Toy Story 2. I like Toy Story 2. Loki, after my confidence was like torpedoed dashed at the last right, right. But I've got some, but

I'll give you a chance there, Loki. you, if you want to say something before, I say something stupid. Oh, whoops, he's muted. Why? Okay, Robert. Sorry, my bad. That was my fault. I hit the bottom of the day.

Go ahead. Sorry, go ahead and say again. That's good. Now I was saying, go ahead. All right. He said, go ahead. Go ahead. So, we'll go, we'll go middle, middle ground up.

How about that? We'll try to find something between, apparently, the old man classics. Apparently, I didn't know I was old. Yeah. And, you know, something brand new. Go ahead. All right. Show me that old man and all them damn damn damn first ten minutes of that movie.

Show me up. Okay. Number seven. By the way, that was least some points. You say something new. That movie came out in 2009, just as a reminder. Well, I know. I meant newer.

Yeah. I mean, I don't think anybody is guessing something from this year, right? No one's saying, I don't know. Who knows? Who knows? I don't know. I don't know. Who freaking knows?

Who knows? Yeah. You never know. Loki, there's going to be, uh, I don't think, yeah, I don't think that, I'm trying to figure the tadpool out. I just can't quite get them in my head. How about, uh, uh, the story of toys. Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.

It seems like that would be a tad-poohy, tad-poly answer. Gosh, dang it, dude. That's totally on there. Show me Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse. number one number one damn it all right keep going it is the best animated film

yeah but you know it is fantastic but I'm trying to figure out where these people are so let's see most of these things seem to be more modern stuff I'm trying not to say I got a million I'm coming around my head

and I don't want to say I'm out loud how about some Owali that was kind of the up era sure sure show me Lally, just like you said it. Number eight. Okay. He's winning now.

That puts you ahead. He's winning now. All right. Four answers left on the board. I'm sorry, three answers left on the board. Any blind spots that I'm missing? Yeah. I got a million in my head right now, but I'm trying to figure the tad pool out.

Yeah. They're a hard bunch. They're a hard bunch. What do you think, Loki? You got anything else? the only thing that's coming to mind is you friend Roger Rabbit

Oh yeah I don't know I feel like you and me would be on that list but I don't know if anyone else is Whatever you guys go with what you're doing I'm not helping Oh man

I do want to say that But I just feel like Oh man I just have to start doing my own favorites Well that's what I was going to do to start with, and I'm like, no, that's not going to work out. Yeah. Iron Giants should be higher, on this list.

Right. And Chicken Run should be number one. Chicken Run. Chicken Run was right where all is supposed to be. Freaking love Chicken Run. You're crazy. That movie rocks. It's so good.

Let's see. I'm trying to think of what was in that Pixar run there. But nobody liked that one. What one? Cars. I mean, no one's going to say that was the best animated film. No. But that was around.

that little era there so um 2006 i know these things it's weird how i know a movie it really is it's an amazing talent actually and it's not every single movie film ever made but it every once in a while i'm just like oh yeah that was that year but even on ones where you're you're not sure that the ones you come up with are amazingly close so right weird i'm gonna go with yeah yeah shrek oh shit oh no because Because why not? Because I have these people, I've got a million animated films in my head, but I can't figure out what they would say after these other choices.

It's the most memeified animated film of all time, right? For whatever reason, I still don't know why it is, but it just is. So I think you're, I don't know, maybe you'll get lucky here. I'm on to something. Maybe I'll get a 10. That first one is very funny. It's very well. Oh, it's great.

It's just, I don't know. It's just a weird period. Everything that involved Mike Myers was killed about 10 years ago. go yeah that's true all right well let's let's uh let's do that one show me shrek oh man okay all right back to you three answers left on the board you need uh either of the big ones to um to win this thing yeah 10 or 9 here right there's this so many yeah there are uh seems like they keep coming out with more, too. Every year. It seems like there's always

a new year. They just keep coming out with more of those. All right. I didn't answer that. Yeah, where was Shrek on the list? Shrek was Shrek was not on the list. That is a proper response. Nobody said Shrek. That tells me a lot. That's good. That's good.

I'm sorry. I skipped right past it. It was number 17. I take that back. Great. I had all these. There's justifications going on to my head, and now it turned out. That was actually giving me some direction there. Okay. All right. I'm going to go with one of my other favorites.

I like the whole series, but we'll say, how to train your dragon. Ah, that was my next one. Ma. Ma. How? Show me, how? How the heck you train this dang dragon? Really?

Yeah, number 20 on the list. 20. Okay. 20. See, I don't know you people at all, apparently, anymore. Mm-mm. I was going to say a bug's life, but you guys don't like that. Maybe they do.

I was going to say land before time, like number eight. I know. I have one to say that's really old, but there's no way they're doing it. The one, I have one from junior high that I still adore it to this day, but there's no way it's on here. Right. So I'm going to switch gears and say, even though people don't identify this necessarily as animated because it's really stop motion, I'm going to say the nightmare before Christmas is according when you asked this question. If you asked it in December,

I would say probably That thing's animated as shit though That's super animated Well I call it animated and is animated But some people don't connect the two You know what they're dumb No no stop motion animation Still has the word animation in it

And if they think otherwise If those people are dumb I'm trying to predict what the tadpool is saying I'm not predicting what things really are Yeah All right Show me the nightmare before Christmas Oh

unbelievably you want to talk about what should have been higher. That one's number 25. It absolutely should have been in the top. 100% should be. Henry Seleck is a genius. And also I'll say this. Brian Dunaway, you're not,

I don't think you're wrong with your assessment that the tadpool's not thinking of stop motion. They just aren't here. Yeah, they just don't think of that. Which is a bummer. Okay, so let's go with something that's like, there's a bunch of anime heads in this group. So I'm going to say... That's where I was going next, but too late.

What's like a... Well, um, uh, uh, uh, a motorcycle one. Oh. Tetsuo. Yeah, the one I got this clip from. Kahnida! It's from that. That's right.

All right. Show me Akira. Are you kidding? I wish I could say as to me. You got to be Akira and me. Akira was number 11. It like just missed the top 10. Oh, wow.

Poop. And when you see what number 10 is, is it spirited away, it is spirited away, isn't it? Well, I thought about spirited away. That was where I was going next. We'll get to those. First, we need to tell Loki, Robert, that he's our winner. Congratulations, Loki Robert.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Good job, dude. Send me an email at Coverville at gmail.com, and I will get you your prizes. Now, let's see what number four is. You kind of guessed it. Indeed, spirited away. Yeah, I was wrong. Well, deserved.

Watch a big black. ghost cough up furniture that's great. That's what that is. It's a great film. It is a great film. Totally is. Of the Miyazaki films, it is my favorite, so I'm surprised. The

redundantly named The Transformers movie. You guys are so trolling us the best animated film. You come at me with the Transformers. Listen, that's a great, great movie, but it's... It is a great movie. Yeah. It's animated.

Because we got it for film sack, and I'm waiting to watch it for film sack. If you gave me 10 slots and said, do you think Transformers the movie is in the top 10 of the best animated films of all time? I'd go, yeah, it's not. I get where you're, I mean, I didn't say it either, and I had it in my head even, and I didn't say it. Yeah. Well, I kind of gave up when I was going that, Puging the Beast. I'm like, well, shoot, they probably didn't do anything from, you know, 80s, 90s. They probably were out.

All right. Number 10, listen, any of the ones you mentioned should have been number 10 before this one. I can't believe people like this. Show me number 10. Heavy metal. You people are so trolling us. They just like it for the animated boobs is really what the deal is. The true troll would have been everybody getting together and coercing themselves to put Toy Story 3 on here.

That's what it should have been. Toy Story 3 did make it to number 31. It was higher than the Toy Story 3. too. Rounding out some of those upper ones, you mentioned Akira. Aladdin number 12. Secret of NIM. Beauty and the Beast, Fantasia,

Princess Mononokey, inside out, finding Nemo, Kubo in the two strings. That should have been higher as well. Milana, Ratatoui. Loved the way some people spelled Ratatoui. That actually should be, almost should have had a tadpuli feud. Give me any of the

spellings of Ratatoui. Ratatoui gets Ratatoui gets better and better every time I watch it. No, Ratatoui is amazing. But here's the funny thing I learned about that I thought about Ratatoo the other day. And it was because someone posted this. Somebody said this on Twitter and they blew my mind.

There's no bad guy in Ratatoui. There is simply a guy who does not want mice making food. That's it. There's no villain. In a proper world, we don't want that. And wouldn't we all be that? Yeah. None of us want to make, we don't want rats making our food. But this one guy, his whole thing,

the only thing that made him a villain, played by Ian Holm, brilliantly, by the way, was that... That mustache made him the villain. Well, I guess so. Yeah. That's a good point. If you got the mustache, you're a villain. You're just dead.

It's true. It's really true. South Park, bigger, longer, uncut. Hell's Moving Castle, Titan A.E. Jungle Book, Emperor's New Groove. Watership down, ladies in the tramp, a lady in the tramp. Ladies and the tramp. The highest, closest to chicken run we got was the rung trout.

Tide for 35th place. That's a great. It's not a film, though. Something called Your Name, which I think is an anime, I believe. Okay. Two people said Animatrix. Wow. You two should meet.

Ghost in the Shell. I love dogs. James on the Giant Peach, Lilo and Stitch. I love dogs or I love dogs? I love dogs. I love dogs. Yeah, amazing movie. So good.

Who framed Roger Rabbit all the way down. Oh, Loki, look at you. Yeah. Yellow submarine, goofy movie. movie is pretty good It is pretty good Give it shit if you want to No I holds up

It's 90s as hell But it's really It's good fun We watched it not long ago It was great Was higher up there I forgot to say that one Oh yeah

Big Hero 6 You did say secret in M right I did say secret in That was way up there That was my junior high One that I was afraid to say And somebody brought up Something called The Point

Which was a Ringo Star thing And I really don't think That they knew What they were talking about Did you say pets at all? Pets? No secret life of pets That movie sucks.

Not bad. What about Zootopia? Did you mention Zootopia? I did not mention Zootopia because the Tadpool didn't mention Zootopia. Zootopia is worthy of being there. That cool Ralph Bakshi was there. One person said that, but I feel like that needs another. I think some of these are just too mainstream for the Tadpool. No one's ever going to say, you know, Frozen or Muana or any of those, even though they're good or they have merit or whatever.

It's, you know, this is the Tadpool. I don't care about that stuff. It's a tadpole. Yeah, I'm surprised nobody said Frozen, but. Moana did get a couple Good, it deserves it. I love that. Amazing story.

Never seen Moana. Take a minute and watch it. It's good. Very good. I bet you can find that on the Disney Plus application. Yep. There's hurt feeling. Check that application to see if it's on there.

There's infantile hurt feelings behind that. Why? Who? Yeah. Oh, we were all supposed to watch it. And I kept saying how I wanted to see it. and then the rest of the family watched it without me. Oh, and you're mad, so now you're holding your ground.

Yeah, so I'm still pouting. How many years have been? Yeah, it's been a while. By the way, that movie's interesting because the father of Moana, the character in there, is voice acted by Dude What Plays Boba Fett in the... Oh, really? The Boba Fett series and then Boba Fett voices and stuff from the prequel. Played all the clones.

Yeah, that's that guy. I'll probably recognize that now because I'm right in the middle of watching Boba Fett. Yeah, it's just kind of cool. I'm not watching that at all yet. I'm waiting until it's done and everyone gives me a grade because so far I'm hearing the most mixed-ass things about that show. You'll continue to hear that because it's got some amazing moments and it's got some, are you kidding me?

Yeah. Are you kidding me? All right. Well, there you go. Boba Fett, a man of mystery. Hey, well done to our listener here. They're Yoki, Loki, Loki, Loki, Fet. Wait, what's your Robert?

All right. Well, you know, prepare it for next time. There's always next time. There's always next time. Hey, check out this news. It's a Texas story. We're down to the south a lot today. okay and that's just how it is okay all right and uh you know we love you guys you guys are great

texas woman provide us a lot of material oh yeah hell yeah a texas woman demanded to buy a child from a mother at a walmart for 500 grand no it's a good price it's a very good price for a for a child at walmart i hear they've been marked down yeah they well you got to watch for the deals you know you got to keep your eye on the deals get the coupons cut them out be ready because you never know they're going to go down it's like texas check walmart check okay yeah Should have been Florida, but we'll take Texas. We'll take Texas. It's fine. A 49-year-old Texas woman was arrested and charged a third-degree felony last week.

I guess that's a third-degree felony to do this. When she attempted to buy a child for $500 grand. Rebecca Lynette Taylor was charged with the sale and purchase of a child, according to NBC affiliates, down there. The child was with his mother on the self-checkout line in Crockett, Texas, when a white woman with blonde hair approached, according to the affidavit. It was Karen. Yeah. Is her name Karen? No, I don't know.

Oh, shit. It's Rebecca. I was hoping it was Karen. Oh, no, no. Rebecca's the normal lady. It's the southern lady. Right, yes. Yeah, David mentioned the blonde, the white lady with blonde hair.

Yeah, they haven't mentioned that yet. The Crockett Police Department did not immediately respond to insider's request for comments. I'm clear if Taylor has legal representation. Oh, no, it is her then. Yeah, she was charged. So Rebecca is her name. No, Rebecca is the one who was trying to buy. Yeah, so she's the one that's charged.

Yes. Yes. Apparently legal to sell your child, not legal to buy a child. Yeah. So she's the one. Hold on, the child and his mother on the second. Okay, she approached the child and the mother. That's what happened.

I just want to make sure I got this straight. It says, let's see, Taylor, the lady who is in trouble, began commenting on her son's blonde hair and blue eyes. She asked how much she could purchase him for. The mom tried to laugh at this comment. I mean, because I would too. I'd go, oh, that's funny or her. Big deal.

Thinking she was joking, Taylor told her that she had $250,000 in the car, and she would pay a down payment of half of it. And the lady said, well, I wouldn't sell my kid for anything. And she says, what if I gave you $500,000? So really, it wasn't the woman was trying to sell her child. This woman just said, no, I will buy your child. Yeah, she's being charged. This woman was Robert Redford, and the lady with her son was Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson.

Yeah. And got you. Yeah, that's exactly what's going on. The lady is being charged for trying to buy, not someone else trying to sell. I feel like she can get out of this just by saying, oh, I was joking. I still was joking. I just happened to have money in the car. Yeah, apparently she's now going to have to do that in court and convince a judge.

Let's see. The mother told police tailor accompanied by another woman who asked for the child's name. The mother did not tell either of them the name. She told the police, but the two women began to call it out. what that's weird she told police but the two women began to call it out call it out yeah if they knew the name I don't know what that means oh oh she asked for the child's name the mother didn't tell them the name but then the two women began to call it out

apparently she found they found the name and started calling out the kid's name what the frick are these people doing yeah anyway Taylor told the women that she wanted to purchase the child for a long time the mother told her to stay away from her and her child and waited for the two women to leave outside in the parking lot she confronted the mother once again asking to buy her child. Dude, these people. Yeah, these people. Shouldn't this woman be seeking some psychiatric care for announcing in a Walmart that she had $250,000 in her car?

No kidding. No kidding. Was anybody watching the door after she said that? Did anybody go running out there? That seems like the bigger crime, right? That's really stupid. Well, anyway, I hope she gets. I was going to buy a 4K TV, but child will do.

Yeah, I'll take a fine. $500,000 child. It's fine. Here's the story about wordal, you know, the wordal. Are you still doing wordal every day? I'm still doing it. I'm still doing worldle every day. I'm loving it. That's what everyone's doing. Everyone's loving the wordal still. Everyone's loving the world. You don't like

the wordle. I don't mind the wordal. I'm just not driven by the wordal. I don't feel like I need to do it all the time. I have too many other things gone on. I'm a little, so I put up, somebody came up with something called letteral, which is just as hard to say as it is to type. but it's the it's a version of wordle where you only have to guess one letter and you

that's it 26 guesses to do it basically you're just it's there's no no skill involved whatsoever it is it is really just blinding yourself and trying to dartboard and um uh and because i put that up as a joke now people are tweeting me their letteral scores and i kind of feel I feel like I'm getting payback for when I posted my wordle scores a few weeks ago. Floodding your timeline with a literal score. People notice that I have not posted a wordle thing. Somebody who does another show with you who plays a wow-based card game and frequently talks about how well she does on Twitter at said card game,

you know, gave me crap on Twitter for talking about a game I liked. Oh, oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah. How the, how the Doombots have turned. They're not Doombots. What is that the guy who's got all the exploding little bombs?

It's been a while since I've played that game. I don't remember either. Anyway. Yeah, no, I get you. I know where you're headed. Yeah, so Wordle, still a thing. actually that is that letteral is actually the kind of spin-off rip-off I can appreciate because it's obviously a joke like it's for fun yes yeah it's like swirdle and quirdle is funny yeah they're just they're not ripping it off like some are I hate that people you don't need to send me your letteral scores unless unless you take 26 letters to guess what the letter is then it's kind of impressive then that is impressive then that is impressive yeah then suddenly the game's on all right so here's the deal Twitter has banned wordel spoiling bot accounts.

And in particular, there's one big account that everybody was following. There was this bot that would basically go to the site, solve the puzzle, and then automatically tweet out the answer, and they banned it. They suspended a bot account that spams players of the smartphone game Wordle. It's also on computers and stuff. It's not smartphone, upi.com, you dummies. As a matter of fact, yeah, that confuses people because they're going to go look for apps. It's a website, which you can get to on.

It's almost like sometimes the press is part of the problem. Yeah, almost as if... I mean, it's a small example, but hmm. The social media company suspended word-oldnator on Monday. The bot was pretty good. The bot would access the app's code and automatically respond to tweets mentioning the game. Guess what? People don't...

Oh, I didn't realize that. So this was not only spoiling as a thing that existed, but it would... If you use the word, it would sniff you out and send it. word wordle in your tweet, it would, I would find you and respond and say, that's insidious. That's like writing Harry, it's like typing Harry Potter and having a bot say, Dumbledore dies or whatever. Exactly, yes. Oh, you mentioned hashtag Harry Potter?

By the way, Dumbledore dies. Yeah. And we can do that now, by the way, everybody. By the way, Dumbledore's gay. Yeah, that was a long time ago. Okay. I told you about the guy I worked for, the guy that owes me $89,000, that same guy. I come into the work the morning after I stayed up until midnight for a,

book release of the new Harry Potter. I was really into those books at the time. I pick up that particular book. I come into the office. I've got the book in my hand. First words out of his mouth, he's standing there drinking coffee or someone looks at me and goes, Dumbledore dies. Like, you, a-hole.

I just saved you 862 pages. Yeah, he actually said that. Something to that effect that he saved me. He's an A-hole. Like, you're only reading the book just to get to the end. Yeah, and he still owes me $89,000. Spoiler, he owe me $89,000 still. Oh, my gosh.

Ben. I don't even mind saying his name. Ben. Your name is Ben. So we got to say what this Twitter, this little bot would say. He'd say, guess what? People don't care about your mediocre linguistic escapades. To teach you a lesson, tomorrow's word is.

Yeah, exactly. God, what a jerk. I know. Isn't that lame? I hate it. Anyway, anything bother. That's pretty similar, by the way. It's pretty similar to what that other co-host of yours said to me about.

Oh, really? Uh, she, she, she didn't quite say nobody cares about your mediocre linguistic, uh, linguistic escapades, but she did say something to that effect. Oh, my. Wow. But she did give me a winky emoji, so I don't know if she was serious or not. I bet she was not serious. Although, um, I think she was not serious. You know, I did that comic and it's basically the same thing and everybody took offense by that.

I had to say, um, this is not directed at anybody. I just thought it was funny. Thanks. Yeah. And what happened after that? Everybody started tweeting you their wordles. Oh, yeah. No, you're right.

I got the opposite of what I wanted to happen. I got bombarded. I know. Now I'm getting everybody's literal. I am seeing. I can easily create a filter. Create in filter, people, if you keep this up. I do.

Yeah, I bring it up all the time, chat. He literally owes me $89,000. It's a contract job that I did for a year and a half, never got paid. You know what I could do with $89,000? Oh. Even if you took it to a collections agency and got half a, of that. You can do a lot with that. Yeah. The problem with all that is, oh my gosh, I don't even want to think about it. She just pisses me off. My wife saw him at a blood bank once since all this.

And he was all acting like, everything was great. Hey, you need to see how Scott doing it. I'm like, you bung nugget. All right, moving on. He owes some other people way. I like that one a lot. He owes some investors, like some friends of his, a lot more than that. So I guess I feel worse for them. He borrowed 500 grand from somebody and never got it back. They went and tried to buy a baby in Texas with that money, weirdly. Just kidding. All right, moving on. I've got the money in the car. That is going to do it for your news for today.

When we come back, Tom Merritt will be here. Got some tech news to talk about. And after that, recommendals with Randy, you'll be surprised what I brought today. You'll be surprised what I thought of my recommendal today. Oh, good, good, good. So all that's coming up, but you've got to hear this song first.

So, Brian, what is it? You've got to hear a song first. Everybody's favorite animation movie is Araya. No, nobody's favorite, because that's an unanimated movie. That is a person, and he is a mix of R&B and indie and alternative. It's great stuff. This is so good. He's got a brand new album coming out called Ethos, which comes out February 22nd, 22, 22, 22, so 2222, right?

Yeah. Yeah, we can't wait. We can't wait for that day because it's a Tuesday appropriately. Oh, my gosh. Oh, you're killing me here. 2222 is a Tuesday. Wow. So anyway, but that's neither here nor there.

That song again is Doctor by Araya, A-R-A-R-A-A-R-A-A-T-Y-A. Try that in your wordle. Ooh, yeah, put that in your wordle and smoke it. There are 2,163 wordle words, and that's not one of them. Hey, I got a little note here for somebody in the chat. Where is it? If I can find it. Shoot, you guys talk so much, it's like way back.

Oh, here it is. Theron in the chat, there's Theron in the chat. I've literally heard you mentioned the $89,000 10 times before. Well, now you have it 11, maybe 12 now. Hey, look, if you were, if someone didn't pay you $89,000, you'd bring it up once in a while. I'm telling you that. Yeah, exactly. Wow.

Gosh, dang it. Money. They're complaining that you've brought it up this many times? Well, I don't know if they're complaining me. Just like, well, I've literally heard you say this. Okay, all right. So I've said it up. I've said it a bunch of times.

Freaking, uh, I need that money. Yeah. All right. Uh, forget about that. Forget about all you've heard. Somebody owes me $2,000, but, uh, certainly not. Not $89,000. Dude, that's still, it's still, you know.

It's still considerable, yeah. Yeah, in 2022, them's real money. Ghosted me. Yeah. Well, you know, getting ghosted. It's what we do in life. Check this out. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man.

I agree. And if you're going to have a man do it, why not have Tom Merritt the man do it? Tom Merritt, welcome back to the show. Oh, put me in a box, Scott Johnson. Oh, a bottle is where you are, sir. I don't know what that means. I'm crawling one every morning. It's, uh,

It's very nice to see you. I feel like it's been longer than a week and I don't know why I feel that way, but it hasn't. Yeah, it's been a long week for you, huh? I think so. It's been, actually, it has been. I haven't told the half of it here on the show, but there's been a lot going on. And as a result, time is feeling a little bit weird. But having you here back again makes us feel good and comfortable and reminds us that sometimes, sometimes technology news comes to you in the hands of a giving warm friend, you know?

Right. And then there's the times when I'm on. There's the times Tom comes on. Oh. Well, hey. Hey, I have good news, good technology news today. All right. Things are up and we're getting things.

Whoa. And it's all thanks to Microsoft. Oh, yeah. Oh, good. I like it when we get things. Yeah. Things are up. What are we getting from them?

Revenue is up 20% in Q2 for Microsoft. It's Microsoft Q2. Don't get, don't get, don't. Yeah, I was like, my revenue's not up. What's, who cares? revenues up for Microsoft overall LinkedIn up 37% even surface you'd expect them to stagnate as the pandemic effect wears up off nope surface revenue up 8% Microsoft Teams you know in their battle with Zoom topped 270 million monthly active users up from 250 in July cloud revenue

group 32% so Microsoft even before they get at Activision Blizzard, which won't happen for a long time. Flying high. And you get something, Brian. This isn't all about Microsoft. Oh, I'm going to get something? What am I doing? Yeah.

You're going to get Android apps next month. Oh, good. Officially, no longer in preview. Hey. So Brian's massive use of Android apps. Will I get them on my Android device or can I get them on a device actually on? Well, you can already get Android apps on your Android device. So yes.

Yeah, okay. You will. But the official public previews. so I guess it's not it was an insider preview now it's going to be in public preview where everybody can get it but it's still preview

Android apps coming through the Amazon Android store not the Google Play Store on Windows 11 so you'll be able to install pretty much right here

pretty much anything that shows up well a limited number of apps in the Amazon apps but not everything the Tom Giveth and then the Tom taketh away. Yeah, I get real excited

and then I'm like, well, but that's overstating it. Yeah, limited number of apps in the Amazon App Store. But here's the thing for you, DIYers out there. Once this is updated, and you DIYers probably already

have the insider build of this, but once it's updated, there are ways then to get any Android app to work. It may or may not work very well because Microsoft does do some tweaking on this. But there's even been people who got the Google Play Store

to run on Windows 11 in the insider preview. But for most people, this will just mean some Android apps that are in the Amazon App Store will show up in the Windows App Store as available to put on your Windows 11 machine. I assume this is emulation or something. How are they doing this? Because it's typically ARM compiled. So what are they doing on Intel?

Yeah, they are doing a framework. Same way they run Linux stuff on Windows. They have a framework that can. that can translate on the fly and execute it. I hesitate to call it emulation because I know that means something specific in certain cases, and I'm not sure this qualifies. But yeah, they've got an Android framework to make it work, and apparently it works pretty good. Interesting. Okay. Well, yeah, that's something to look forward to

for any Android folks that we're hoping to get stuff onto their PC. Dice to Main on the chat says it's really close to VMware. That's an interesting thing. All right, well, there you go. that sounds like fun how'd they do on the gaming revenue that was real curious about that number did they release that or say anything about uh yes they did uh and they did well i'm trying to i'm trying to find it now uh because it may not be uh it must not have been as good as well i think surface was just more surprising right uh so hardware revenue for gaming up four percent okay uh and gaming revenue entirely up eight percent with a uh coming off a record quarter right so they They had a record, a $3.6 billion quarter in Q1, their Q1, and they were still up 8% year over year in Q2. Okay, that's not that makes sense. I knew they had a really massive holiday, and then things probably cooled down some, I'm guessing, for the quarter. Well, this is the holiday.

Oh, that is that quarter. Oh, I would have thought that would have been higher. I don't know why. Yeah. I think it's because they just had such a surprisingly big Q1. I hate it when they put their fiscal years off center I know I wish why can't they all do it in the same deal why why all these companies have to have their own damn plan

because accountants tell them it's better to do it this way I disagree with them and their ideas there is a gaming wise this isn't part of the earnings report but according to Bloomberg Activision has committed to bringing the next few call of duties potentially the next three call of duties potentially the next three call of duties to PlayStation, whether Microsoft gets Activision or not.

Yeah, and either way, like, let's say they do get them, they're at least three call of duties away from that ink being dry. You know what I mean? So it makes perfect sense that they could commit to that. So they can do two things at once there. They can say, oh, you're going to the next three, guaranteed. Well, yeah, your deal's not even going to be done by then. So probably anyway. So who knows? Like, even if you, even if you do more after that. They expect the deal to finish sometime between July this year and June next year, my guess it's probably going to be after the 1st of January 2023. So yeah, that that easily gets you into being able to nail down agreements on three of them. They already have agreement on the next one. So it makes sense to me. Yeah. And the other,

the only other bit of news that dropped in the wake of the news that they were getting acquired or this attempt is being made to acquire them was Blizzard announced, basically they announced a job opening and therefore announced a new game that doesn't have a title yet. Um, but they're basically calling it an unannounced survival. No, it's a survival game. Think like, you know, Valheim is a new example of this, but there's a ton of these

and apparently they're making one. I don't know what that means, what it'll look like, what's going on, it's a weird, it's a weird genre for Blizzard in particular to get into, but that happened yesterday and that's all anyone can talk about in my circles, so sure, sure. We'll see.

My brother-in-law is Sean Hollister over at the Verge tweeted, Blizzard announces it plans to survive. Yeah, it plans to exist. Persist. Yeah. Persistence is real, everybody. Get used to it. Well, this is great. As always, you know, the breaking hot, awesome news happens on daily tech news show. And it usually happens on Wednesdays, not just because I'm there. I just happen to be there. Wednesdays are great days for tech news. At least that's been my experience. So tune in today. And all week, all week's fine. But I'm there today. So if you want to hear me say dumb stuff, the apex, right? The news builds up to a mountain on Wednesday.

A hump, if you will. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A real hump day is today. That's a really good way of putting it, Brian. Yeah, I like it. You might coin a new phrase, Brian. Let's get that. Let's get some copyright that really else. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, don't look it up on Urban Dictionary, though. There's some really weird definitions for it. Oh, really? Hump has another meeting besides. It just means those things in the road that slow you down. Oh, yeah. That's what that is. Okay. Sure. Sure, why not. Speed Humps was my nickname in junior high school and high school. And now. Yeah, and now. And now. Old Humpsibbit over there. Anyway, that's great. We'll be looking forward to that today. Tom, is there, you got any other projects or anything going on? People should be hearing about or do. I do. First of all, it is free HBO week on Daily Tech News show, free preview week. So if you are a subscriber to our free ACAST feed on Daily Tech News show, you're still going to get all the things patrons would get this week. It's going out to everybody just to kind of say like, hey, if you didn't realize what you get as a patron, here you go. Here's some of the stuff you get.

Here's what you're missing, you know? You should know what you're missing, I think. That's a good thing to know once in a while. So there's a rewind show that Scott's on where we look at the lineups from five years ago. There's a live with it from Sarah Lane coming this week. my editor's desk where I talk to Sarah about how we do the show

that's all available on the public feed Daily Technewshow.com Very nice. Tom Merritt, everybody. You know him as Ace Detect on Twitter as well so go follow him there.

Tom, have a great day and we'll see you later today. Hey, talk to you later. Bye. I'm Veclempt. Yes, you are. Yeah. Got a little choked up there.

Tom's segment. Aw. Not really. All right. We are going to dive into some recommendals. We like this part of our Wednesday, and at least today, well, yeah, you guys will. You'll find out in a second why I'm saying this or why I'm being cagey.

So here we go. We're playing this thing to bring it all in. We're the little there. All right, join us now in welcoming Mr. Randy Jordan to the show. Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. How are you doing? We're fine.

Good morning. Have you had your coffee? I know I don't have to ask. I'm on my third cup here. Taking it intravenously, I believe. I have just been, I've just been making some notes as we've going along. So, I wanted to, I just wanted to point out, we're 13 days from Oscar nominations. That's, oh, really?

Because, yeah, we're getting them on February 8th. That's, that's because the ceremony is going to be on March 27th. And they typically, you know, they have that time frame, right? When it used to happen in mid-February, we would get Oscar nominations right around the beginning of the year. And it just keeps going back and back and back. I'm really excited because I read blind. I don't know if either of you ever read blind items, but there's all kinds of speculation about who they're having host this year.

And the real rumors, the people who actually know someone who know someone, have said it's going to be a trio. Yeah, I've been hearing Tom Holland and is he one of the trio? No, so there's two trios that have been rumored. That sounds like a real, by the way. That sounds like a 60s group, the Tom Holland trio, doesn't it? Probably does, yeah. Yeah, my mom, like something my grandma would put on her, on her freaking wax cylinder rectophone or whatever.

The Tom Holland Trial with Love Those Lemons. So I, so the initial big blind item was that it was going to be Tina Faye, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph. Oh, okay. Which is great. That would be great. That'd be fine. It seems like we've seen that. But then a really strong, I know somebody rumor said it's going to be Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.

Oh, I've heard that, too. I love that, too. Only Oscars in the building, basically. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah. I'd be down with that. I just also on that note, they do have odds out for the best picture noms and all that stuff already, Brian. Did they really?

Yeah, so like there's a top three right now. It's Power of the Dog, Belfast, and West Side Story, or all the leading contenders. Yeah. And then the next ones, the next highest odds are licorice pizza, Dune, King Richard, and Nightmare Alley. Oh, and Coda. And Cota. Yeah, Cota, you can see on Apple TV Plus. I recommendled it last year.

And saw Lickrish Pizza and Theater's last weekend. And it is great. Boy, those Heim Sisters can act. So other things I made notes about, I don't understand why movie quotes would be like the most famous quote from any movie, except for some reason, Pulp Fiction, not even like the top 10. Right. I'm about to get medieval on this effort.

Anchorman. Anchorman is the most quotable movie of my lifetime. Right. And they just that escalated? Yeah. So anyway, and also, have either of you seen absurdal, this game? Absurdal? No. No, I've not seen absurd.

Easy to Google and find. Basically, absurdal is Wordle, only it's got AI behind it and it's working against you. Let's see. So it's changing the word you're trying to guess in the background. Oh, yeah, here it is. The Macavelian, they call it the Macavelian version of Wordle. Oh, look at this thing. How horrible.

Well, you put yourself through this. Absurdle is, it's hysterical, though, because it makes a whole game on top of the game where you're trying to eliminate bad letters because you know the AI is also eliminating the letters you guess. So instead of guessing the most likely letters, you start out trying to guess the least likely letters in order to drive it toward a word you might actually know. That's crazy. So it's basically like quicks, right, where you're trying to fly. force the robot into any corner so you can do you know what i want to do i got an idea here's

what i want to do i want to make one called turtle and here's what i want it to do i want it to just load really slow to the point that people give up eventually they just don't want to hang around waiting for you're trying you're trying to guess what uh what animal the turd came from is that the no i was thinking more like turtle you know like the turtle the animal the turtle but i get what you mean we could go full turd you want to go turn let's go i see i see two great opportunities here. Both of you run with that. All right. We're going two different directions. Same energy. Have the code on my desk

by 5 o'clock. Knowing me and Scott, you would think I would go with the animal and he would go with the poop. I don't know. Yeah, what's up with this? Oh my gosh, we've really flipped things around. Would you get it finally right? When it finally loads, will we go, a turtle has made it to the browser? That's how you connect those

two right there. Can we get that actress to do it? Because she's great. She is. And by the way, a lot of really amazing voice acting coming from older women lately, I'm excited to talk about my recommendation this week. Oh, we've got some old ladies. Yeah, because there's some really good old woman voice acting. All right, some old ladies coming up, everybody. Here's what we do. We talk about movies that are streaming, TV shows as well, whatever the content is, and then we talk about them on the show and

recommend them to you. We always start with Brian, and I don't think we're going to change that. So, Brian, what's your first recommendal set up here? My first of two recommendals is a movie that might see some, some, some, Oscar activity as well, although maybe not for the film itself for best picture, but certainly for its actors. And you'll know exactly, from the first two words of this clip, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. All right, here we go. Lucy's putting the finishing touches on a fancy dinner table, good china, silver, etc. The table is set for four, but there are only three chairs. I should have put that in the stage direction. Technically, it's two chairs and a piano bench.

For a total of three chairs. Lucy's putting the finishing touches on a fancy dinner table, good china silver etc table's set for four but there's only three chairs after a moment the door opens and ricky enters lucy doesn't hear him rickie tiptoes in back of her rickie put why not sir why doesn't lucy hear him well he's about to do that thing where you cover someone's eyes and you say guess who i understand it's a setup i understand why we need lucy to not hear him i just don't understand why in an apartment this size lucy doesn't hear or for that matter see the front door open when she's standing 12 feet from it. We'll work on that. Thanks. Ricky tiptoes in back of her and reaches around and covers her eyes with his hands. Yes, who it is.

Oh, hang on. Are we supposed to believe that Ricky believes that Lucy really doesn't know it's him? I can do this now. That Ricky believes that Lucy is not only unfamiliar with his voice, which let's not forget, has a Cuban accent, but that he really believes there are at least seven other men who routinely walk into their apartment. she has a pretty good point she has four or five very good points and then he killed her with a cow gun air compressor thing

that is in fact being the Ricardo's as you as you probably can guess a movie written and directed by Aaron Sorkin as you can hear from that rapid fire delivery speech delivery right there there and of course you hear Nicole Kidman

as Lucille Ball Javier Bardem as Rick Ricardo And while, you know, Javier Bardem is pretty good casting, and Nicole Kidman is good casting. She does a great job. The best casting in the film, without a doubt, is J.K. Simmons as William Frawley, aka Fred Mertz. Oh, I was going to ask who plays Fred Mertz. That's as good to hear.

He is the best. Like, J.K. Simmons is Fred Mertz from another, you know, in another decade. Wow. How do they, because Fred Mertz was like a squatty little bald guy. Yeah, they have him. They do have him, I think, wearing a little bit of a fat suit. They don't fatten up his face or anything, but he kind of is, he kind of has that squatty posture and stuff that Fred Burns had. Yeah. This is, this, so the movie, the acting is great. The casting is great. A lot of the dialogue is great.

it centers around a one-week period in the, during the filming of Lucille Ball. I love Lucy, where sure they were working on an episode that you heard them talking about there, but Lucy was being investigated for being a communist because she ticked the wrong box on a form once when she was a kid because she had an uncle that she really loved who was communist. Um, and because of all that, it kind of comes forward, comes, rises to the surface during this week in, uh, 1953. Um, you're also hearing Tony Hale and Aaliyah Shackwats. So, uh, Buster and, uh, Buster Bluth and yes. Or I'm sorry, I'm not at yes, maybe. What was it? Maybe. I turned her from a maybe to a yes. Yeah. Uh, you also, uh, that's really weird. That's really weird. Oh my God. I don't know. What made me think of that? You also get

Nina Arianda, who if you're not familiar with her work on Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton, she is the best thing about the secretary. The assistant. She's amazing. She's so good. She is amazing and she plays

Mertz Vivian Lee aka Ethel Mertz in this. Wow. That's a great So she nails the voice on that too. It is brilliant casting, and it's a cast that you love watching. The story's good, and that's probably the only weak point, is that it never feels like there is any real conflict or climax to this.

But I think with Aaron Sorkin, maybe you can, you're not supposed to, you're supposed to just sit there and let the banter wash over you. So can you put it into, put it into like Aaron Sorkin? Sorkin's greatest hits for me like where does it belong like at the top of the list is like social network and money ball and uh the steve jobs right yeah i would bottom of the list is like malice or charley wilson's war or something like that okay wow uh forgotten about those i would put this i would actually put this right in the middle it's it's um definitely not the worst thing's ever done and the end of the dialogue is for me what saved uh what made me forget about the

lack of danger in the script. I mean, you know, danger. It's, I love Lucy. It's, you know, but I mean, she was in danger of losing everything career-wise because of this, I mean, I thought that. And you never feel that. Isn't the whole thing with her, I mean, the whole thing with her is that she was such a pioneer in her day, not just in comedy, but in, you could hear it in that clip about, you know, women actually having a voice in the direction and not just letting men run roughshot over everybody and everything. And I, If that's the main point of the thing, then it sounds like maybe Aaron Sorkin's the exact right guy to write dialogue like that. For sure.

Yeah, this absolutely showcases what Lucille Ball was in that world, which was a groundbreaking showrunner without people knowing that she was a showrunner. She analyzes the comedy in a scene and says, why is that? That's not funny. Here's what would make that funny. Or let's do it this way. And she is so, so good with that. I was all set to poo-poo Nicole Kidman's performance before seeing it, just based on the trailer, just based on why Nicole Kidman and why not any of these other actresses. She, you know, some of those other actresses, Deborah Messing is the first one that comes to mind, would have made a great Lucy Ricardo, but Nicole Kidman makes a fantastic and a spot-on Lucille Ball.

Hmm. Interesting. Because Deborah Messing, I saw a picture over yesterday. She's got way too much work done. She doesn't look the same anymore. It's like totally different human beings. I'm not sure that would have worked with her. Not that Nicole Kimman hasn't had work done. But the Kate Blanchett rumor was, she was supposed to do this and then passed. And Kate Blanchett, I think, would have been great. I think I said this before, I'd see Kate Blanchett in anything. I've never been disappointed in a Kate Blanchett performance. And her fake teeth and her appearance and don't look up. Oh, my Lord, dude. Tina said, I thought Kate Blanchett was in this. And I had to stop and say, that was Kate Blanchett in that scene in the talk show.

Yeah. And also, she's working with Medea, by the way. And that was Medea standing next to her. Right, exactly. That's so weird. I just want to point out, like, if you only know Lucille Ball from I Love Lucy, you don't know even two-thirds of her story. She spent most of her career as a studio exec, fighting against a highly misogynist studio system. And if you would like to learn more about that, I highly recommend this podcast called The Plot Thickens.

It's by Ben Menkiewicz. I don't know if that means, that name means anything to you. But in his third season of The Plot Thicken, he just runs down everything about Lucille Ball's career and all of the controversies that she faced and so on. Ed, like I say, really awesome podcast that will give you so much more than you ever thought you knew about what was going on for them in like the 60s and 70s. There's a new one called, new documentary called Finding, or maybe it's not new, came out in 2000 called Finding Lucy. Apparently that's real good. Oh, really?

Yeah. I've never seen it. Somebody yesterday had recommended it. it and I it's a good time as any to mention it so maybe that's the thing yeah and apparently they had they held something called the golden globes I don't know I never saw anything about this but Kidman won the best actress in a motion picture for this for this role so she sounded like her by the way I when I if I'm I knew what it was when you were playing when we played the clip so I knew what we were doing she sounds like her like it does like when

she would just talk you know I don't know how many cigarettes she smoked a chain smoked before filming to get that voice down, but she sounds just like Lucer Ricardo. Maybe doesn't look exactly like her in the film, but she sounds like her. Have you ever seen a Hollywood institution taken down as rapidly and thoroughly as the Golden

Globes? It's unbelievable. Sean Penn leading a charge, getting actors to return their Golden Globes. Is that happening? I didn't hear about that. And all of their production companies, like every actor's production company, they bonded together this past year to

ignore the nominations when the golden globes put them out and it was just like wow how did you make that all have it's been only a couple of years right like since yeah uh since uh basically amy polar on the golden globes chat all over the place right yeah yeah that's just amazing huh yeah that's weird i hadn't heard of that the last time i saw sean penny opened a pet store on an episode of curb your enthusiasm and it was it was it was the petty shops uh season it was amazing Anyway, all right, well, let's do this a second one, and that's on Prime, right? That's a Prime deal. That's on Amazon Prime.

So if you have, if you're getting your packages in a couple days, then you can watch being the Ricardo's on Amazon Prime. Nice. All right. What, any setup for this one? This is a series, three season series that was recommended to me and I'm so glad it was. Oh, all right. Sci-fi.

High anticipation here. see what we got. Seven months ago, my consciousness was sent from the distant future into the body of special agent Grant McLaren moments before he would historically have died in the line of duty. Since then, I have assumed his life, his work, his marriage, pretending to be a man very different than myself. In truth, I am traveler 3, 4, 6, 8. One of thousands of travelers around the world who have come from a time when life is all but wiped out.

To save humanity, they change the path. I know how that must sound, especially to you, Kat. That's true. Lasers. I love, laser sounds. I love Eric McCormick so much. Yeah. You know, I didn't until this.

This turned me around on him because I had only known him from Will and Grace. And so I just had that to base it on. I was like, all right, well, he's a, he's an affable, he's an adequate sitcom actor. Oh, my wife watched this. Yep. Okay. So did Randy's wife. What's the name of it again?

The name of this show is Travelers. That's right. This is a Netflix, three-season TV series that sadly ended after three seasons. They absolutely should have kept it going, but I don't think it got nearly, Like, the first I heard of it was somebody saying, hey, if you like Quantum Leap, you might like travelers. And I said, oh, sure, I'll check out the first three episodes, and I immediately got hooked. Science fiction tale about people from the future who, the only way they time travel is by

assuming the roles, taking over the consciousness, consciousnesses, well, I invented a word today, of people who are about to die. And that clip I played sets it up perfectly, gives you, you know, really good synopsis. of the of what happens but that's like the one of the last episodes of season two like having me pull a clip out from so late in the series to introduce it on recommendals seems uh seems crazy um other people you might recognize in here uh probably the the other big recognizable uh person is Enrico colatoni who we've talked about ad nauseum on on this show and film sack but uh you know how you'd say it's a thank you for

letting me be in all the TV shows you recommend this. You don't even get, you don't even get in RICO until season two, but he is as good in this as he's ever been in anything. And, yeah, you know, they run into some problems. One woman time travels back into the body of a developmentally disabled woman. and then has to explain how all of a sudden she's, you know, knows all this stuff about medicine and is communicating differently and all that stuff. They have another person who goes into a drug, a drug addict and has to kind of wean himself off drugs while he's helping to solve some of these things that come up to cause a bad future. it's it's a really really well done sci-fi TV series and there's you know more than the passing relationship to quantum leap as we're potentially waiting for another quantum leap yeah they're rebooting that thing the reboot here yeah and then a lot of a lot of relations with other Canadian shows right because these are all Canadian they're all Canadians yeah everyone that's all anyone is anymore they're Canadian that's it and this woman so the the woman I mentioned a minute ago McKenzie Porter had no

idea. I'd never seen her in anything before. I'm like, oh, well, what else has she been in? She's been in country music. Canadian country music for years, apparently, and I'd never even heard of her. But she, she's great in this. Like, it is a great, it is a really, really good cast. Oh, she was in Hell on Wheels. I loved her in that.

I just want to say again, I will watch this because of Eric McCormick. He is Canada's David Duchovney. David Duchovney basically had his career. I found it I find it really interesting because like Ducoveny is now in his 60s and and when you see Eric McCormick nowadays, you may not realize this. He's 59 guys. Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow. It looks great. Yeah. How is this? He's got that Keanu magic is what he's got. Yeah. I would say it's more it's like Paul Rudd magic with him. It's weird how young he looks still. So go watch travelers and build up enough buzz that they do. a follow-up movie like they're doing for everything else like Ray Donovan

and close it out so that we get another ending. The ending they give us is good. It's pretty good, but you know, we'd like a much more solid ending

to this. Here's my big question about this. When I, Kim was watching it and I would come in the room and see she was watching it. And I would go,

oh, this looks like a network show to me. So probably not anything I'm into because it looks like this typical network, like pretty people doing pretty people things. And I kind of just didn't pay attention. It sounds like I had that wrong. But maybe a lot of people did because that's why I didn't go more than two seasons. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, there are, you know, there are a couple pretty people in it. But it, I think it, if I saw this on network TV, well, first I'd be surprised by all the F-bombs in it. But if I saw this on network TV, I would probably put it up there with things like evil and first few seasons of X-Files.

It has a very fringe kind of feel to it. Probably the best comparison besides Quantum Leap would be fringe in tone and style. Can I just say, like, because it ends after three seasons, I'm scratching my head because I just I can't stand it when that happens. Like, we just watched a sitcom. It's not a sitcom. We just watched a very short show from England called Mum, M-U-M-U-M. It's three series, but there's six episodes each.

So it's like really over-fast. And I don't think Mom knew it was coming. I really think they got canceled, you know, at the end of their third season without knowing in advance that they needed to wrap it up. This feels like they found out they were getting or they were not going to get renewed. a little closer to the end of the third season and they they did wrap things up I think in a in maybe not a satisfying way but in kind of the that's the least you could do kind of way but it was like like I don't regret I absolutely don't regret watching the three seasons with the ending we got but I definitely would love would love more of an ending well maybe they'll maybe

it'll get a resurgence that happens so you never know it's a little bit more than oh that's the least you could do to end this thing. It's probably like, okay, well, that wasn't the worst thing you could have done to end. Yeah. Well, it's probably the way it is. So that'll be on Netflix in perpetuity. I should go give it another shot. Kim would probably be watching.

You should give it another shot. She raved about it. She freaking loved it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, and it's sci-fi. There is a little bit of relationship-y things, but it's not, like, you know how the C.W stuff,

yeah. Relationships are as important as fighting guerrilla grod. or whatever and um can i get a t-shirt that says relationships are are as important as fighting gorilla grot that's an amazing it'd be a red t-shirt with yellow lettering i'm talking to you flash that's so good all right sorry go ahead but uh in this the relationship issues you know purely stem from the people uh who come into these these lives and and while they've done their research to see who they're going into they don't know everything that they need to know for these relationships so it's a lot of um a lot of like oh yeah of course i know that but

not done in that overdone tropey like of course i knew what you were talking about honey uh let's continue on okay i'm down with that and i also thought he was good as much as i didn't actually like the show because my wife watched it but uh will there from will and grace uh was in um I was it, the murder one, the procedural with Mandy Patankham was in it for a while. And then later, the criminal minds? Criminal minds, yeah. Is it criminal minds? Okay.

He was in criminal minds. I never saw that. He's good. Rainbow Bright, I would say that the ending of this is on par with Sam Beckett never returned home in, at the end of a quantum leap. Oh. It was a great last episode to kind of say, yep, this is, we're tying up all the loose and you're going to get endings to everything you want. But I'd like more.

Only because I just finished watching and I want more. Yeah. More is good. Sometimes leaving you wanting more is good. So maybe they did the right thing. Maybe. Maybe. All right.

Let me tell you what I watched this week. A bunch of reruns of Futurama. That's it. Moving on to Randy. I literally had no time for anything new. I tried to cram something in the other night. Other stuff came up. I just have never had a chunk of time to sit in front of anything and watch anything.

So I literally had Futurama playing almost nonstop for a project ad to get done. It's just great background noise for me. And I just, I'm so, so happy that the people who made Futurama back in the day were on drugs, good drugs. Were they? It just comes, it really comes through. I don't know. They're on good drugs or not. Wacky ideas that get shoved into that show.

Entirely possible, I suppose. But it's great. It's great just get stuff. done stuff. And I had things in my radar. Unfortunately, most of the things even I had on my radar were things you guys have recommended. So I was like, I'm going to watch that, the HBO final duel, the last duel. Oh, yeah, the last duel. Yeah, Ridley Scott thing. Yeah. We were all set to watch that. Yeah, we were all set to watch at Kim and I and we didn't. But then I'm, you know, that's a, that's a recommendal that already happened. Everybody's a dick in that movie. Yeah, they're all dicks. Everyone's a dick. So anyway, moving to Randy. Randy, I'd like to hear what this clip is about. Do you have any set up here before we play it? Nope, this is yours. You're doing a clip about something you watch. Oh, well, that's what I'm saying.

I don't have one. I got future. Futurama. Futurama was his, is his recommended. Yeah, I got nothing, man. Has the coffee paddled your mind so badly that you...

I was so excited to figure out what Scott brought because he didn't tell us in advance. No, just had nothing. It was going to make you come up with a clip. I want you to figure, go back to your room and don't come out until you have a clip. That's right.

There you have it. So this week, I'm coming to you with a recommendal that everyone has seen. This is another one of those. I think everyone has seen it. But it also at the same time feels like a lot of people need to be convinced to see it. So I'm here to stand up for the big guy. This was the number four most streamed movie, according to Real Good, for the weekend in January 18th. So in this clip, we've just met our protagonist.

She's a young woman who previously came of age and a big family that has a, tradition of each new young adult receiving a wondrous gift only this person did not and she got nothing and is carried on and is now preparing for her cousin to receive a gift it's almost sounds like we're doing one of these whoops like a people's court meet the defendant she lives in family madrigal and she just trying to i'm just trying to help people understand where no no no it's good it's good it just sounded like one of those cases all right here you go everybody i'm playing randy's clip now here you go enjoy what are you doing?

They were just asking about the family. She was about to tell us about her super awesome gift. Oh, Mirabelle didn't get one. You didn't get a gift? Um... Mirabelle! Delivery! I gave you the special, since you're the only Madrigal kid with no gift. I call it the not special, special, since, uh, you have no gift.

Thanks. Oh, and Del Antonio, good luck. Last gift ceremony was a bummer. Last one being yours, that did not work. If I was you, I'll be really sad. Well, my little friend, I am not. Because the truth is, gift or no gift, I am just as special as the rest of my family.

We want more pig! All right, guys, where do I drop the wagon? Maybe your gift is being in denial. All right, I still have a little. I haven't seen this. I want to. It's Enkanto, I assume. This is the deal. Yes, it is encanto. That is the exceptional Stephanie Beatrice. You know her as Rosa from Brooklyn 9-9. Yeah. What an amazing job putting her in this. Holy cow. It was, and it's one of those things that's full of stunt casting. And so that's like the weakest part of this whole movie for me is the stunt casting. Like, you know, you're making a movie set in Mexico. Does it have to include John Leguizamo? It really doesn't. But sure, let's let him be in this movie. On the other hand, there's a blink and you'll miss him appearance by Wilmer Valderama, you know, Fez from that 70s show, and like other sorts of stunt casting that are actually really, really good.

But the thing I was talking about earlier is the first voice you heard was the abuela, the grandma, played by Maria Botero. She is just incredible. And when I first started this movie, I thought, you know, am I hearing Anna from Overwatch, like the voice actress who plays Venari and World of Warcraft? You know that voice? And of course, it's like, no, Randy, you're just, you just think every old woman sounds exactly the same. But man, this movie is just, it is, it's the new Frozen. It's actually performing better than Frozen in some regards. Like, well, I don't want it to be that. I don't want to be that. I don't want to be. the new frozen. The new, the frozen was so commercially, uh, I wanted to be a, like, the new frozen. Let's say that. Okay, fair enough. I like, I like this a lot more than Frozen. Okay. Frozen's fine. I just, you know what I'm saying? Every little girl, everywhere is a frozen character. I'm not poo-poohing on other people's fandom. I just mean Frozen was so overexposed. So just cram down our throat. Frozen was for women. And Scott, you're not one. And this,

this movie also really strongly centers on the women of the film I hear it's strong enough for a man though yeah no it is it's made for a woman strong enough for men okay all right no no I got your I got your joke I don't think Randy got it but I got it thank you go ahead keep going keep time tell me why I'm gonna love this this is this is one of those films also like where Frozen kind of challenged you to pick one or the other who do you identify with

the older sister who's sullen or the younger sister who's aloof right like uh you know and the and i by the way always chose the younger sister in frozen this film gives you a whole family of people to identify with and so you have people who identify with the main character who is a little bit of an outcast or maybe her her uncle who is a real serious outcast or maybe you identify with her older sister who is the uh the the the trope of the uh oldest Hispanic girl in a family who has to carry everything literally and and so on like it's just um it's chock full of that kind of stuff but it's a just a beautiful film uh we have you know as as we're living in the time man when we get every now and then we get a new property with

songs by lin manuel miranda and they are all so freaking good well uh he he he can't uh he whenever he does stuff i'm into it i don't care i've had some people say well if you know like lin manwell miranda's music then don't see it i'm like who doesn't like his music yeah he's really good like legitimately good and uh these are the these are the um the moana uh directors right i believe i think or at least somehow someone is involved somebody who worked on moana worked on this in some major way yeah yes uh jared bush is the director but he was the writer for moana that's what it is something like that i knew there's a connection yeah um there's uh it's a whole team right that disney has and uh the the the the the screenplay by both

with Jared Bush and Therese Castro Smith is, I think it's just one of the best they've ever had. And the reason I say that is because watching this movie for the first time, the entire time, I am going, you know what? This movie is actually about something else entirely, but they didn't beat you over the head with it. Whatever you think it is. You know, like the movie really does not wear its political points on its sleeve at all. They're almost hidden what the movie's trying to say. You almost have to, when it wraps up, you're like, oh, so what was, what was the point? What was I being told?

And that is awesome, in my opinion. Have you guys seen, you guys seen Fez lately? That dude's a handsome man. Geez, little ones. Yeah, Wilmer Valderrama. Yeah, look at that guy. Holy crap. I was amazed, like the, the animation feels like it's just leaps and bounds.

Already, you know, Pixar's, or Disney's, is this a Pixar, is just Disney. This is just Disney. That's why we were comparing it to. frozen yeah yeah the um the animation is just leaps and bounds over over everything else the way hair moves the way skin facial features move as people are talking it's uh we are in a in a whole a whole new world of uh of incredible 3d animation just blew me away that's cool now i need to finally watch it carter watched it without me i was mad at her for it um the chat room really wants us to mention that it's not mexico it's columbia okay i guess that's a thing latin america

it's a Latin America Latin America is every everything that doesn't speak Portuguese Okay sure Fair enough Just don't want to just don't want to say okay Yeah can we just say It's Columbia it's fine

No What I when she told me about it She said one of the things she liked about it Was there was like There was like real culture on display Like stuff that If you knew anybody from there Or grew up anywhere near there

You understood this stuff like in your guts. Yeah, they just hit like everything. You know, like I grew up surrounded by Hispanic families where every person in the family is represented in this movie. It's just,

it's just remarkable on that level. Yeah. You know, because like ultimately when you're watching a Disney movie, you're watching some like white dudes who have sort of given control of the, of the story to people who know what they're saying. Yeah.

Right? You know, like Moana. Moana is about all these Polynesian, themes and the ultimate the people at the top of making that movie are not Polynesian, they're not from there, you know what I mean? Yeah. And it's the same thing here. But man, it's just

remarkable how how well this movie hits all of the tropes. And I want to, the trope with a lowercase T, right? It's all of the, it hits all of the facts of a lot of people's experience. Yeah, happy little tropes. We like those tropes. Happy little tropes. Nothing wrong with happy little

tropes. I'm going to get a beard and a cool fro and paint a picture. I've been some happy little tropes. And I just want to, I just want to say, it's really beautiful. Like, of course it is, right? Like, you wouldn't expect anything less from a full-feature Disney film. But, I mean, this is particularly beautiful. Like, their animation studios have gotten to a level that's just, it's just hard to believe.

Oh, no, it's unbelievable. Yeah. And that team in particular, I mean, Moana is now, I don't know, what that came out, 2017 or something, 16. still a gorgeous film with an amazing Mad Max reference in the middle of it but anyway, amazing movie. You guys should see it if you haven't. 2016.

And I thought that hair was unbelievable. Like I couldn't believe how good the hair looked in that thing. And then I see stuff for this movie and I'm like, all right, we are off the charts with the hair tech. It is crazy to focus so much on it, but it blew me away. Like it, yeah, it was so good. I had to remark on it. Well, all right.

To come full circle, Stephanie Beatrice, she is just phenomenal. If you've ever seen her interviewed outside of her performance in Brooklyn 9-9, you will recognize her voice. Her actual normal speaking voice is what she's using here. She's lightening it up a little bit because she's playing a woman who's like maybe 18 years old or something like that. She had a fun run on modern family as one of Sophia Vergara's sisters. Yes. She does that.

She appears on all sorts of things as someone's sister or aunt or something. She was in the new one day at a time. She has a couple of appearances there as a family member who shows up. And like I say, Scott wants desperately for everybody to look at man flesh. That's Wilmer. Look at him. Wilmer is a beast. I didn't know this is where Fez ended up.

I'm blown away by his physique, his handsomeness. might, I might be swinging his direction if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, okay. Anyway, sorry, continue. I was just, I was just concluding where we started with Stephanie Biatrische. But no love for Marie Mareolo, Penn. Oh, I like, I like them all. They're all great, but she blew my mind.

Or he blew my mind. All right. There you go. Disney Plus, of course, for that. And, uh, is available there now. Uh, Randy will compile all of these, put them on his Twitter account and post these everywhere, including the Discord, Twitter, uh, everywhere, the Facebook. The Tadpool Facebook group, where you poll people and ask them to name animated films as though they're a bunch of 65-year-old men.

Yeah, do that. Exactly. Yeah. So look for it. It's also on QuicktMS.le, already up there. If you like pretty pictures of all four of our recommendals, then you'll see. Yeah. As well as cool little badges with each of our little faces and the streaming service that it's on. All that stuff there, QuicktmS.L.I.

Yeah, which is really awesome. So go do that. Randy Jordan, AKA Randy Deluxe. We'll see you this weekend for our watching. No, we won't see you this weekend because Brian's out of town. We're watching them. We did watch along, everybody, for Film Sack.
